I'm hungry. What I would give for a baked chocolate cheesecake right now...
I worked really hard today. My colleague and I, we both did. I mean, at the end of the day, we were both just completely knackered. I was a good worker today. A hard worker. There, got that off my chest.
So anyway, I was watching the Miss Singapore Universe pageant last night *snigger*. You know, the contest has none of the class that Miss Universe has. Maybe it's because the two shows run on two very different budgets. I have a lot to say about the contestants, including the political incorrect-ness of one of them, which totally just caused my heart to palpitate and my palms to sweat, especially since we had MPs in the audience! But when you think about it, she's only 17 and she can be forgiven for shooting her mouth off. But girl, you're competing for a Miss Singapore Universe title. I don't think you should be putting your country down like you did.
Anyhow, that's all I shall comment on the pageant, lest people say if I think I'm so good, I should go join it myself. Enough gripes for the night. Anyone knows where I can get my hands on some good chocolate cheesecake?

First up, thanks Cheryl, for still reading this blog faithfully :) And no, you didn't have to clarify that it was you who left that comment. No one else has raced me to a word count every 5 minutes :)
So I had this really strange dream last night. And I can't talk about it here because it's really sensitive. All I'll say is that it stirred up some long-forgotten, swept-under-the-carpet feelings. And I'll leave it at that.
My boss knows my blog address now so... haha... Chris, if you're reading this, I wasn't really all that upset about the 1st anniversary thing. And I really hope I didn't write anything on this blog that isn't career-enhancing.
On a separate note, I'm truly mortified at the Virginia Tech shootings. Maybe I shouldn't be, because it's becoming all too commonplace in America. But that's precisely why it's so mortifying, isn't it? And the whole Asian thing? What gives?!? It's sad that the Asians there have to fear a backlash when the US is supposed to be a country that accepts and celebrates cultural diversity. What if it had been a local blonde-hair-blue-eyed gunman who committed the crime? Would the fair-skinned be threatened then? Would there be a racial backlash? Obviously not because that would be stupid. It would mean turning against your own kind. Which brings me to the point that colour STILL divides. No matter how much you choose to think otherwise, you will always be a second class citizen of a country you're not native to.
However, I must clarify that I am not disturbed by that. It's only natural that people herd with their kind. There's nothing to be ashamed of with feeling more comfortable with someone who's the same as you are. The problem I have is with the hypocrisy of saying that you accept another person when you really don't. That's when it hurts.
The bottom line is, we all need to be honest and motivated by love. If I'm starting to sound like Oprah, it's because I'm getting sleepy. But regardless, I find myself asking everyday, "Why can't we all just get along?" The answer eludes me time and time again. Just like love.
Hehe. That was just me being melodramatic.

Today was my 1st anniversary at my workplace. We have a 1st anniversary card for our company. But I didn't receive it today. The ironic thing is that I'm the one who coordinated the design and printing of the cards.
I feel neglected :(
Anyway, facilitated small group in a noodle house today. Very different experience. Can't say I was comfortable with it but I didn't mind the challenge. Would prefer to go back to a home setting though. Oh, was also pleasantly surprised at the turnout today. Only 2 girls couldn't make it.
Work is accelerating to crazy levels but I hope I'll come out sane. It's good to be sane. Very good, in fact.
Am sleepy now. Think I'll head off to bed. Which is actually a funny thing to say because I am on my bed at the moment. I hope I'll sleep right through tonight. Have been having interrupted sleep.
Starting to sound disjointed.
Goodnight.

Again. I did it again. Every year I tell myself I'm going to file my taxes early this year so I don't run the risk of being unable to log in due to heavy online traffic. And every year, I leave it to the last minute. And now, I have to face the frustrations of being unable to log in. Argh. I do this every time!
Taxes aside, things have been relatively normal in my life, hence the nothingness on this blog. I'm also really really addicted to Grey's Anatomy. McDreamy... drooool... The other reason I love the show so much is that I relate to the protagonist, Meredith. Her Mummy has (or rather, had, since she died) Alzheimer's so I can totally understand her struggles. Also, she never did have a great relationship with her Mum, which is also something I completely relate to. Really hit home. And I think the other great thing about this show is that it helps me get less squeamish at the sight of blood or some sort of gross deformity. I guess McDreamy helps too. Not to mention McSteamy :)
Wow, I seem to be losing my ability to throw out words in a snap. Somehow, writing doesn't come so easily to me now, not to mention writing with wit. Maybe I've just become boring. Or maybe I'm just getting older. Eeep. Perhaps I should be glad I didn't become a journalist after all, although something in me tells me my dad would have been a lot more proud of me if I had. And something else in me tells me that was a poorly constructed sentence. Eeeeek! Am I really losing it?
Better stop while I'm still sane.
