to my grandparents
the most loving thing i've seen wasn't on tv or in a movie.
it wasn't in books, or in my imagination.
2 days before my paternal grandmother died, a few members of the family was sitting around her bed and my grandfather was holding her hand. the look that transpired between them was one i had never seen in my entire life.
i later asked my father what that look meant. he paused and thought for a while said
'i think its grandma letting kong kong know she's going soon'.
that look said everything.
it said take care
don't forget to eat
i'll miss you
i'm going soon
be good
i forgive you
thank you
i love you
very very much
that look was beyond words. it said everything. and even the most cynical person would believe in love after seeing my grandparents like that.
they quarrelled alot. i remember them bickering at sunday dinners over kong kong eating more, i used to call them 'kids'. i know my grandmother wasn't easiest person to get along with, her temper was infamous. my grandfather courted her by going over to her father's place to do business and sit there and both of them would quietly eat bananas together. they had been through alot together.
60 years, 4 children & 5 grandchildren.

allinaday'swork
today was a memorial service for a sports commentator.
at the member's dining room
it seemed more like a party to me, free flow of wine, bubbly and beer.
with finger food
the atmosphere reflected the party mood to me too.
to be honest, if it weren't for the large portrait near the bar, i would guess a club get together or something.
i gave 90% of effort today. but my brain wasn't functioning.
as a result, ok service but my supervisor must have thought i'm damn dumb.
tomorrow is setup for F1 so hopefully things will go better.

you know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams- Dr Seuss
i love quotes. especially witty ones and the ones that make you go aww.
i figure quotes can come from anywhere: poems, songs, books, movies, etc...
they have a way of summing up, ever so elegantly, a whole argument or a way of thinking, and its often food for thought.
on another note:
i miss a few friends & i can't talk to them because they're in SG.
i'm thinking of getting a blackberry. because of the BBM.
which is like MSN but you can message anyone in THE WORLD for free as long as that person has a blackberry as well
but kaii says that all her seniors who have bbs all regret getting them because their boss can contact them anytime. oh my gosh, i do NOT want that to happen to me.
:D
there are approximately 750 000 words in the english language. Some words, like hierarchical, are difficult to pronounce but the hardest ones to say are 3 simple words

all hail
ITS
HAILING.
The stones are LARGE. the last time it hailed it was like ant sized. THIS IS LIKE:
The hail on my window pane.
I put this in because she the white dots on the road? that’s how much hail and rain there was.
shall update later on cherm & bill’s birthday celebration

what wouldn’t i give
that’s from the movie fame and the principal dancer in that scene is a so you think you can dance finalist, Kherington Payne.
to dance like THAT. wow. what wouldn’t i give.
on a side note dance can be really unfair, you have 1 lead and like 20 dancers to just stand around. and those 20 dancers rarely get picked up by the companies even though they’re talented.

taken from anger management, a harry potter fanfiction:
"You may not, I repeat, MAY NOT have a boyfriend at this age! Do you understand me? This flirty nature of yours has got to stop now. I will not tolerate this. Do you realize what will happen to you once you get sorted into your house? God forbid you end up liking a Slytherin like your mum. Those wretched boys are going to be all over you! I can already see myself fighting them off with my bare hands!"
"Dad, Christie is four."
"Leo, son, I am well aware. But you did NOT see her flirting with those five year olds at the park this morning!"
its a draco malfoy/hermione granger fanfic. its good for a short story.

finality
grandma looked peaceful. i was the last to place a flower inside her coffin before it went into the crematorium. the family was given yellow roses, because that was her favourite flower.
met up with manda. she managed to tear a $10 plastic note. don’t ask me how:
the mood for this trip back was very low. like gma first, then we couldn’t celebrate CNY. friends are all working and they’re kinda nervous for A level results. and on top of that i’m down with the flu.
the new malls depress me. ion, 313 & orchard central. they look alike. bright lights, loud music & stainless steel & glass = headache.
i should go ice skating or clubbing or something. something to take my mind off everything.
