Some random pics... Finally get the D&D photos from my colleague..
Was doing some clearing and thought these little stress balls are kinda cute being put together.. Latest addition is the Santa Clause.. So cute!
My old old block is finally doing some upgrading.. (大选是不是又要来了？Lolz..) We are having lift stopping at every level.. So the ah nehs had been busy piling the extension up.. I discreetly took a couple of their photos.. Lolz.. Dangerous jobs they're doing... Yet bringing only a little back home.. Tough on them..
The Team...

161208.. Something meaningful to share..
A Message by George Carlin (who passed away recently):
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side..
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent..
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember, to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
George Carlin

15 Dec 08.. Happy 3 Months!
I'm 3 months old! Haha.. Took a half day leave to celebrate this occasion..
Was at Change Alley (Previously known as Chervon House) this afternoon doing some charity work.. Today is the longest time that I had ever spent in Raffles Place.. 3 hours.. Seldom go there.. Cos din really like the feeling there. I thought it's a stressful place, everyone has the same emotionless face, taking quick steps and wear branded goods.. I had long decided that my venue of my job will not be there.. Good thing my current one is at Tanjong Pagar.. At least got humane atmosphere.. Lolz..
Anyway snapped some tree photos..
This is the Christmas Tree of Life.. The children in the photo cards are waiting to be sponsored.. 有钱出钱，没钱我出力.. Wat I did was to get the public make a difference in the child's life. The public can also provide them with a one time christmas gift (which many did).. During the 3 hrs there, managed to get 2 sponsors for the children.. Knowing that the children have the chance to have clean clothes, better education, better health care etc, this kinda satisfaction.. Priceless... Had a good day... =)

14 Dec 08
Many times, when I log in, I try to write something.. But somehow, I can't think of wat to share.. So I decided not to blog at all.. Perhaps my life is just pure boring.. Work, home, work, home, out with friends.. Time flies after the age of 21. For this year, it flew pretty fast.
Year 2008 is coming to an end.. A recollection perhaps?
Candice has been doing... Good this year. I think..
1) Gotten her driving licence in July after one stupid failure in May. Damn the first examiner! I still insist that he is the one who made me caused the immediate failure error.. ARGH...
2) Quit YMCA and join Stat Board in Sept... Enjoying there.. Happy 3 months tml (15 Dec)!
3) Learnt a musical instrument.. Ukulele.. Havent been strumming that frequently le..
4) Went overseas: Genting (twice), JB (5 times? Can't remember le), Redang (once, ahh.. missing the sea there..), Batam (once)... Noticed that all has been within coach/ferry distance.. Candice is too poor this year to fly.. Saded..
5) Made quite a number of new friends... Welcome to my world..
The rest... Pretty much the same.. Didn't really make a great impact this year..
Side track: Had a great D&D this year! The theme was Retro..
Wanted to upload some of the dinner pics.. But it seems that colleague has been busy and din have time to send me and that I have no digi cam.. so.. Pls wait patiently.. In the meanwhile here it is.. My D&D glamour shot.. Havent took this kinda glamour shot for a while le..
For my D&D overalls, couple of stuff was borrowed (cos I'm not a fan of retro and I dun have things that suit the theme..) As I wanted to join in the fun of dressing up, just borrow loh..
Blue Top: Elaine's
Black stockings (Photos to be up later): Mum's!
Black covered heels: Elaine's!
Black belt, Earrings, bag, satin black sash on my head as hairband : My own
Makeup & Hair: Self done at home
Overall, my dressing up was still ok I think, not overdoing and not underdressed.
Looking forward to year 2009... Am I? No other choice..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afternote:
Went retail therapy today.. Got myself a Fujifilm Z200 digital camera.. The salesgirl was so very good in marketing her product and had given a big discount.. and threw in quite a number of freebies.. so bought it unplanned and no research has been done.. A bit hefty but i'm loving it.. =)
