read something funny in the newspaper today.
disclaimer: i don't believe in these.
Scorpio (thats me) :
Lets face it.You can be pretty intimidating.
Your intellect is top-notch, and you have
a million great ideas running through your head.
Think kind and friendly thoughts when
dealing with someone who is
adversarial.(an opponent.)
does that mean that a dim witted person is opposing
me?oh me gosh.
in advance, happy new year!
its hard to think of random things to muse over
in my blog.
so i shall thus create an occasional section called:
"I don't understand why..."
Firstly.
I don't understand why...
People get so petty when playing games.
Take for instance, MapleStory.
Yes, it is irritating when people
raid or loot your map, and it is understandable
to get mad when that happens.
But to actually go to the extent of tracking
down their guild/friends to scold them
is retarded.Its like some old fashioned show
where some crazed fool seeks revenge.
And that crazed fool is greedy as well.
Kill the culprit. not enough.
The fool works his way down the whole
family tree and even to extended relatives.
Then he dies in the final showdown
between the last surviving family
member and himself.
Stupid?
Yes, very much so.
And even worst are those people
who threaten to hunt you down
in Singapore.
Oh puh-lease.
People take on online personas which
may not be a true reflection of their true self.
so kill off the character if you want,
but no the controller.
In the first place, games are supposed
to relieve stress, not create stress.
play until so cham,
don't play la.
I don't understand why...
some people are so fickle-minded.
one day they will be like:
You're my BEST friend.
And the next day the person will
announce someone else to be a new best friend.
weird isn't it?
never ever trust such people.
they are just trying to get a safe platform to
step on from both parties so that if one
person abandons him/her, he/she'll still have the other.
yup.
thats it.
till next time,
clara.

Today..
Cell group appreciation day!!
All the way at Chinatown,
20 mins away by train.
I was in the drama team,
we had such a blast man!
Somewhere near here-
You can see the reflection of the clouds on the
G.E building!
Finally..no rain today!
Someone once told me that if you use your
cell phone near your respective host
(eg: singtel/starhub),
your signal will be very good.
is it true..?
Gosh i'm tired.
No picture of myself for eons..so here ya go!!
I had some fun on Nero photo thingy..
made myself glow!!
wow..that's an effect that even SK 2
cannot achieve!!
*beams*literally.
Gdnight.
or rather gd morning.
whatever.
Clara.
ps: some guy told his friend that i was a celebrity.
that's not too bad~

v. sian leh.
friendster doesn't accept 10 mgp,
ultra fine photos.
i'll maybe have to cut them a bit.
anyways...
watch these 2 videos!!
1) The song is nice, and the girl (Vivian Hsu)
is damn pretty !! Even prettier than dawnyang.
plus au naturale.lol.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTY2gA9izY0
2) The song is super nice, and.. *cough* fleshparade*cough*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjJkA36xdTg
there you go!
and to combat extreme boredom,
go to youtube and type "will it blend"
in search.
the blender is awesome!!
(recommended by my fren)
if only diamond wasn't that hard..
we'll have diamond dust!!
i think its sad that innocent people
sometimes have to suffer from other people.
like when they are being dumb, or just thick-skinned.
their actions affect us.
no means no.
and to set this naivety record straight,
just because a person talks to you
doesn't mean that:
1) The person likes you.
2) The person is a potential partner.
No.
There exists:
1) Polite conversation.
2) Polite laughter.
3) Polite attention.
4) Polite "dates".
this state of mind must be cured.
i know rejection is a painful thing..
but you just have to deal with it and MOVE ON.
build a bridge and GET OVER IT,
as i always say.
i don't believe that only one person in
the world is suitable for you.
that only 1 person deserves your
mercilessly endlessly annoying attention.
got forest you choose one tree.
then when the tree can't be cut down..
you sit there and wait for the trunk to rot,
so it'll be softer.
and no, time will not make a difference
in this case.
and if you can't accept this simple fact,
N-O no, not interested..,
then you'll just have to die lonely.
and gaze at the captivating heavens by your
lonesome self.
no one to share joy with.
why?
cos you firmly believe that only 1 person is right for you.
yeah right.
4 billion people in the world.
one you.
its your stubborn mindset.
not fate or whatevernot.
and NO,
perseverence will piss people off,
not touch their hearts.
to anyone:
if u read this entry and feel convicted.
maybe its time for a reality check.
Lily Allen
Shame for you
I've been thinking that you've crossed the line
If you disagree well that will be just fine
Cos you waste my time and waste my money
And your not too cool and your not so funny!
Spreading your seed all over the town
Getting too greedy and messing around:
Oh my gosh you must be joking me
If you think that you'll be poking me
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me ooon
Shattered the lie but you think
I don't already know
Don't try to deny
cos my fuse is ready to blow
Its your turn to learn
I think that you know where to go
It's a shame, shame, shame for you
Please don't come around and knock on my door
Cos I don't want to have to pick you up of the floor
When you ask if we can still be lovers
I'll have to introduce my brothers
Think that they could teach you a lesson or two
By the time they've finished you'll be black and blue
You'll be crying like a baby
A sea of tears they'll call the navy in
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me ooon
Shattered the lie but you think
I don't already know
Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow
It's your turn to learn
I think that you know where to go
It's a shame shame shame for you
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me on no, no
Don't take me ooon
Shattered the lie but you think
I don't already know
Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow
It's your turn to learn
but I think that you know where to go
Ciao!
Your relationship guru,
Clara.

Warning: Mindless photolog.
Macro-mode madness indeed.
The beauty of macro-mode.
Firstly, the wonderful x'mas eve
dinner!!
My mum is a great cook.
Too bad i didn't seem to inherit that..
i'm deathly afraid of fires,
and i don't want to learn how to cook
anything except instant noodles.
So there.
When i say that people are like..
"But you're a girl yadda yadda."
like..so??
why must the female be the cook??
its not like i'll have any kids to cook for
anyway.
grr.
Darling rainbow hates the cold ;)
She's coming 2 yrs old..
White orchids!!
At first i liked the rain, but now i don't.
The endless rain has left my window ledge
ultra dirty.
And i don't feel like cleaning it.
Long overdue.
Presenting my neighbour's rabbit..
Lionhead..the smaller type i think.
whatever it is..its the cutest i've ever seen!
Celebrated X'mas the ol' traditional way..
family gathering at my cousin's place!!
Which means photo opportunities!!
Macro-ed the hook,
unfocused the rest.
Merry X'mas '06 people!!
flash on.
looks like snow!
Bye!!
Clara.
p.s:
you sms me about something, FINE.
no problem.really.honestly.
but then when the topic is closed,
i very clearly keep my answers short.
but you dig out some lame question to force
the conversation to go on.
we have NO similarities, ok.
the end.
don't try to forge out similarities.
that's just so low.
and don't take my individual likes/hates
and make them yours.
that's even worst.

today..i was santarina!!
my assigned location was in hall 6,
the carnival!!
i was happy with that location because
the constant flow of kids makes giving
out sweets a whole lot easier!
honestly, is there such a thing as santarina??
don't think so..maybe santa's female helper.
anyways, the dress was SUPER sexy.
man i was kinda embarrassed!
and the hat was too big..
kept dropping off.
i paired up with another guy..
don't know who.
=x.
can't remember his name too =XX.
even though i was a bit sian
at first cos i only slept 6 hours,
the kids and the people made me
feel that there was nowhere
else i would rather be,
no other way that i would spend my day.
the past few days i didn't have any xmas
cheer at all.. but now i must say
i'm looking forward to tomorrow!!
i smiled so muched today..
my mouth hurts.
i'm not a person who smiles a lot..
laughs a lot but other than that i
look rather unapproachable.
today i must have looked super
approachable..
cos a guy asked me for my no.
-_-
the kids were cute..
there was once when a santa
approached a little girl's back..
and when she turned around she got
the shock of her life..
haven't seen santa much i suppose!
she jumped three steps back.
the look of terror on her face
was so cute..
her parents were laughing!
turns out she thought that the
fake santa was a real old man..
and freaked out.
the only pissifying( ok i made that word up )
moment was when i wished an old man
merry xmas.
he was pushing a cart, so i thought
that he could do with some xmas
cheer in his life.
arrgh.
he smiled.
SO widely.
i thought: wah so effective.
but something about his smile was weird.
made me think something was awry.
how true.
turns out it was a LECHEROUS smile.
and every few steps he turned around to wink at me.
DAYM.
after duty, it was pouring.
took the mrt and bus home.
how lucky.
i fell asleep on the bus..
and woke up at my stop.
whew!!
being santarina is tiring man!
my mum, as usual,
cooked great xmas meal for us.
all sorts of fresh seafood smothered
in cream sauce.
nice...!
this year the lighting at my estate has improved greatly..
around the pool palm trees are draped with
golden lights.
truly ethereal at night..
always the last thing i gaze at before turning in..
through windows painted with raindrops.
and at the entrance( where my main living room's
window is facing)
the trees are draped with multi-coloured lights..
and patterns are made using these lights
in the bushes.
boy oh boy.
they glimmer like mystical magic berries.
the lights are not those cheap multi-coloured
ones which look fake.
these ones have very strong and unique colours.
breathtaking.
gotta run.
the highly acclaimed movie
"Love Actually".
my first movie in 6 months.
bye,
clara.
p.s: i don't understand why msn conversation windows
cannot be closed, cheryl.

whoa.
i haven't been sleeping well these days.
i'll go to bed at 1+ am,
then walk around the dark house till 3 am
because of..insomnia??
zz.
last night i had a horrible dream.
basically, it summed up ALL the problems
in my life.
i dreamt about a sick relative,
an annoying stalker,
(which turned psycho in my dream.
uber freaky!!),
a reserved sweater that i haven't picked up,
my cousin's upcoming ns,
no consent for the biggest goal in my life,
and the inability to purchase xmas presents.
so, basically, i was shopping around for presents
when all the other stuff came in.
it was the worst shopping trip of my life.
my phone bill is running high.
so i can only message church people
and my GIRLfriends.
sorry.
i know this is frustrating, but
my dad pays my bills for me.
and i will not take advantage of that.
anything, TAG.
i repeat, TAG.
i check my blog everyday anyway.
sometimes i don't switch on my phone
for the whole day.
when that happens,
call my house.
if you have my number, of course.
if not, tag.
and sometimes smses get
irrelevant if you read them late anyway.
i hate people who can't take no for an answer.
especially when it is like the 3 rd time.
today i went for chc's xmas service.
it was awesome!
h.h, m.y..wanna go tell me!!
i'll be more than happy..
once h.h is no longer grounded..
mon there's service too.
tomorrow i'm gonna be santarina(the female santa)
at church tomorrow.
so yeah.
cannot laugh!!
i think it'll be fun though.
i'm one step closer!!!!
don't know why this com
suddenly can't detect my camera =(
its annoying.
i bet you all have forgotten what i look
like by now.no pics.
ooh.
i wanna get another CD.
Lily Allen.
she's just so incredibly talented!
downloading songs are a big nono
these days.
gonna watch tv now..bye!
clara.
so close now.

first coloured entry in ages.
i absolutely refuse to change to the new
version of blogger.
lazy lazy.
today,
went to kbox with h.h, m.y, f.
i've never gone to that place with
friends before.
so suaku.
anyways it was super fun.
(and super ex!)
i've got a lot of savings this month..
didn't go out much.
i wanna go out again soon ppl!!
so, today as h.h,f and i were
walking across the overhead bridge
leading to suntec i was casually
mentioning to them that i haven't
seen any temasekians since
the start of the hols..
then i saw 3 groups of them.
it was very funny.
cos h.h and f were like screaming
with laughter and i was being
all o.0..
they were saying hellos to ppl
that they didn't even know that well..
haha!
and then...
my mood went skyrocketing down
when ____________________.
kjfdhvlkdjfke.
OH.
please.
if anyone has a heart, pls
don't let it be true..
and h.h.. in these times..
brothers don't go out with their sisters
that often...
so..........
SIGH.
wellwell.
but seriously, this time,
i cannot just let it pass me by.
enough of missed opportunities already
in my life!!
wo shou gou le.
but how how how??
sorry h.h but i lack the guts to do
whatever you want me to do..
ah...
thanks for calling man..
you made me feel better
and..you made me laugh by ______.
hahaha.
no surprise, really...
just entertaining!!
OH.
I just read something that made
me feel like crap.
and no,
this time no one can make me
feel better.
enough detective work.
its depressing.
what xmas?!
what she got that i don't have?
another thing.
how can you dislike a person
because someone else likes that person??
that person didn't ask that someone to like
him/her.
unless u like that person too?
eww no.
or maybe, you're just damn shallow.

v. long nvr blog i know..
i missed girls out loud!!
i went out with my parents
and sis.
everything was planned.
we would finish dinner at 9 30pm,
and reach home by ten so that
i won't miss my show.
and we were done by 9 30pm!!
yay!
but...
while driving through the carpark..
OUR TYRE GOT PUNCTURED!!
suay or not??
so yeah, by the time my dad
fixed everything up
and drove home,
the show was over..
i missed ep. 1 n 2 too..
watched it on youtube.
pls post up ep. 3!!
last night i went to see
the xmas lights with some
awesome company!!
but..it rained -_-.
funny thing was, there
was a mini stubborn fire at
the corner of the Tangs building..
what a big fuss it caused...
fire engines, ambulances,
police cars.
not cos the fire was of any danger but
cos of the crowd there...
congrats m.y for getting
into such a mjc!!
you worked hard man...
wonder why noone
except h.h never really thought about this:
studying in a lousy school
so that you can do v. well
for prelims and get into
your ideal institute...
then when the Os are out
you can minus points somemore..
i've received soooo
much criticism for not going
for the 3 months thing.
i was eligible for some jcs..
but here's my stand:
i'll rather study in a good poly
than a bad jc.
i haven't watched a movie for 1/2 year now!!
wanna watch texas chainsaw massacre.
but its R21.
and its prob. very gruesome too.
my sis was telling me about
a young boy who could play pool
better than his dad who
trained him.
and that immediately made me
think of a very cliche and overused
plot for chinese movies..
for eg:
a guy was trained to be an assassin
by his father. and when he grows up,
he sees that his father's ways are evil
and thus rebels against his father,
killing him in a final fiery battle.
i'm irritated at my camera.
it takes up batteries at an alarming
rate. and the batteries that i use
cost $3 for 2.
so if i use my cam 100 times..
$300!!
i'm gonna train my panda now,
bye!!

my new cam arrived yesterday!
anyways, there was a gathering
with my tuition pals today.
the thing is, i forgot, and promised
my mum that i would go out with her.
as i was stepping out, i switched on my phone..
and got serveral smses.
uh-oh..
glanced over at my mum, and decided
to give the gathering a miss.
didn't want to dampen her spirits.
gosh, i'm soooooo sorry man!!
i hate it when i cross-promise..
undeniably, though, it was a
gorgeous day..
(auto, sun shining right at cam.)
hopped on the NEL,
and it was a straightforward
ride to harbourfront.
and finally... i get to visit Vivo city.
i liked the rooftop viewpoints.
(auto)
i must be so back dated.
people that i know are like vivo this
vivo that...
and i'm like o.o???
at last i get to actually go there.
had lunch at Asian Kitchen.
not bad, i have to say.
6 hours later and i'm still super full.
(auto, E: negative)
looks like there's bacteria.
i walked around for 2 hours.
there was basically nothing much
on the top floors.
(my opinion)
the pet safari was half-renovated.
went in to take a look at the adorable puppies.
someday, i'll get one of my own!!
descended to the first floor.
there was definitely much more
stuff there!
plus xmas sales too!!
only at the last 1/2 hr
i found stuff to buy.
bought:
a super cute skull headband.
velvet Mango hoodie.
Guess bag.
matching Guess wallet.
a plastic dish for Rainbow to bathe in,
from the ever random Daiso $2 shop.
i really wanted a skirt from Topshop.
But it was ridiculously priced.
-_-
headed home after that.
the train was jam packed.
rush hour!
i get super annoyed when
in such tight spaces, people
actually blast music from their phone.
please invest in a good pair of headphones.
PLS.
maybe these ppl are just trying
to show off their flashy gadgets.
i'll always remember a funny
incident that i heard about on radio.
an ah beng was trying to haolian
about his new phone.
he was apparantly talking on the phone.
saying: Ah. Good. Clear right?
Very exp. you know. yadda yadda...
when suddenly..his phone rang.
he alighted on the next stop.
hahaha.
k.
i know my entries have been bland
for super long.
so.. here you go.
you know, people are kiasu.
all of us.
its the extent of kiasu-ism that matters.
many a time have i heard this ridiculous
claim:
leave products on longer than stated,
get better results!!
BULL.
Prak.
don't get confused.
here's an illustration.
face masks.
those paper like face-shaped things
that come soaked with, say,
whitening solution.
or moisturising solution.
or radiance solution.
whatever.
you take them out from a sealed
pack, and place it on your face.
and wait.
usually, its for 15 mins.
my blood pressure shoots up when
people say:
Hey... leave it on for 1/2 hour.
the results will be better.
gosh.
where is your common sense??
when products are effective,
more people will buy them,
and the company will thus earn more income.
so why, why, WHY,
would a company instruct you to put the face mask
on for 15 mins when it can actually last
for 1/2 hour??
wouldn't it be courting its own doom??
why, WHY would they want to make
their products less effective than they are??
i read from a magazine that the stated
time is how long the product can last.
after that duration, the product is useless.
so you just continue relaxing.
but in no way will it "be more effective."
in fact, i suspect that the product only lasts for like 12 mins.
the extra 3 mins is just to make sure
that all of the product in used up.
yup.
that's all i have to say.
the finale of proj. runway
is starting now on chnl 16!!
i LOVE that show.
Toodling with my cam,
when i got some nice shots.
(auto.don't know what i did but i got a blurry
effect)
and...the masterpiece!!
(auto.macro mode. flash on to properly
expose subject.)
p.s:
www.xiaxue.blogspot.com
got a NOSE JOB!!
How cool is that??
and it was sponsored.
actually, she mentioned
that this plastic surgeon is the best,
but that's not true.
she HAD to say that cos
its free.
the bestest=Dr Woffles Wu.
truly.
i better start saving up man.
doesn't look like i'm gonna get
a sponsor.
yes, yes, bad, fake,...lalalala....
i've made up my mind.
too late.
when will www.dawnyang.com
admit it man....
along with all the other
nips and tucks.
honesty is the best policy!!

to a super ex and pro gaming system.
today was my first day of work..
my mind is just spinning with all
the weird new terms like garnet,
moonstone, agate, rose quartz...
the worst part was stock taking.
there were 100++++ items,
each with an individual serial no.
i had to search for each one..
grr.
but overall i had fun..
my boss is so nice.
she treated me to dinner
and asked her mum to drop me somewhere
near my home.
that's 1 hr of tavelling time saved.
the next time i'll be working is on the 21st, 2-10.
cos there are many other helpers during
this month of sch hols.

another guy from my prev. church
popped by to say hi to my boss.

my mum is so funny.
she told me to watch a documentry
on plastic surgery,
maybe to scare myself.
it was gruesome,
but i wasn't scared!
there isn't a lot of blood.
honestly.
still, not for the faint-hearted.
i think i have a common
face or something.
these are the faces that people
have linked me to.

City Harvest Church will be having a massive
X mas event over serveral days during
the X mas period.

God bless!

today i went to ikea
with my parents.
its super huge,
and the queue at the eatery is
super long. -_-
ppl always go to ikea
to 'take a look'
but end up buying loads
of stuff.
i bought the famous
green snake.
couldn't help it,
its very cute!
oh and i named it..
arrgh.
you'll laugh.
i named it
Alfred Geoffrey Tan.
(i know ur eyes are going o.0)
i love to name my stuff
horribly.
it just cracks me up.
if the music code worked,
you'll be hearing
Three Days Grace.
Pain.
Love this one.
i've been so bored these days,
i'm helping my bro play
maplestory.
level 90!!
and we started this year.
amazing.
i think the ninja girls are violent.
last night i had a HORRID dream.
honestly.
i woke up crying.
i dreamt that me and some guy
who was my bf, strangely,
was kidnapped by some cult.
and that cult sure had a long
history of gory murders.
just as we were captured,
i woke up.
gosh.
i hate it when that happens.
i'll be wondering what happens next all day.
i remember reading in the newspaper,
some shoe ad, that we walk
one hundred thousand km ++
in our life.
finally, one of my impossible questions
have been answered. hurray!
i also remember reading that a man
won a ticket to outer space.
the space shuttle launches next year.
and the ticket was worth
$100 000.
wow.
Q for you:
Would you want to go into..
outer space??
I would, honestly.
Don't care if i die up there.
I've never been afraid of death anyway.
Just think:
You'll get to see beyond this world.
And even if you die, you would
have achieved what other ppl didn't in
their whole lifetime.
you may be going:

whenever i log on to msn many ppl
are like : wow i hardly ever see you!!
i feel like some animal bordering
on extinction.haha!!
k, today ppl came over
to mount the new tv on the wall.
i must say it looks very nice.
i'll take a pic of it.
when my cam arrives.
its out of stock, so you'll
have to wait 2-3 wks. =(
i'm sick of blur pics!
the mind is willing but the flesh is weak.
how true.
i rmb. that for the the Os i pictured
myself preparing like 1/2 yr in
advance, mugging my guts out.
that didn't happen.
and i'll be like:
sleep 3 hrs each night, no prob.
uh-uh.
we always imagine ourselves
to be so capable.
like when my mum goes to
the supermarket i keep bugging
her to get a trolley, cos
1) I like pushing them =X
2) I know she will need them.
And she's always like:
No need!! I'll only buy a few things.
But at the end of the day
the trolley becomes extremely useful.
Over-estimation of oneself.
the saying:
"we're only human"
makes a lot of sense, don't it?
my real reason for blogging today:
I've found a job!!
Given up on giordano.
Don't think they'll want me,
an experience-less person.
So suay, come to think about it.
They just had to put me in a group
that was all experienced.
ok.
You see, my mum's friend owns 2
pushcarts at ________.
I'll only give the location
to certain ppl, cos
1) god knows who reads my blog.
2) shy la. cannot meh?
3) i link my friendster to my blog.
cough*despos*cough
And her name just surfaced in my mind
yesterday, so I called her today.
And yup, I start work on mon.
Pay is $5 an hr, plus 1% commision.
not a lot, but it'll have to do.
Plus if sales are good, my pay could
match up to boutiques.
But ________ is not super crowded.
Branded goods galore over there.
I'll honestly prefer working here
than at those boutiques.
1) Attire isn't an issue.
2) I don't have to clean up the store
after shopping hours.
3) Working hours won't affect
my church and cell group.
My parents keep telling me there's
no need to work.
They're afraid that i'll suffer man!!
When i walk past a place asking for
ppl to work i'll be like:
Not bad, should i give it a try?
And my parents will be like:
Crazy ar!! Do you know how hard it is, yaddayadda.
-_-
That's why i had some difficulty
in looking for a job.
So my job is just to pass time.
Its good to work for this lady anyway.
She's super kind.
Thank God for this job!!
Whew.
Went to plaza sing. just now
with my parents.
it reminded me that i haven't
been to a cinema for many months.
oh, and i saw some very...outrageous
shirts at carrefour.
like:
"This shirt looks better wet",
"Guys are good accessories",
"This shirt would look good on your floor."
I can't wear those.
I wouldn't be able to take a step
out of the door.
Went into a guess boutique.
their stuff is not ex, you know.
seriously.
bag are 100++.
compare it to LV and Gucci's
1k +++++++.
i wouldn't carry too branded stuff
when i'm young.
it just doesn't make sense cos ppl
would think its a fake anyway.
agree?
save all those stuff for later on.
Am gonna email SPCA,
hope they'll take in volunteers.
Tata!
Clara.
p.s:don't msg me asking what is _________!!
Cannot stalk cannot stalk!!
i'll tell you if i want to, period.
my phone bill's raging high,
i can only msg my girlfriends
and church ppl sry!
anything, tag.
my motto.

Gosh lookie how bored i am.
2 posts in a day.

about buying big shirts,
cutting them up and making a dress
out of it.

i think its super cool.
oh and i want a tare panda one!!
with lace trimming on the bottom.

styrofoam settles too easily.)
2)Glow-in-the-dark jigsaw puzzle.
Of horses or constellations or stars.
3)Water cushion.
Clara.
xoxoxo
i can't see your star
though i patiently waited, bedside,
for the death of today.
i can't see your star,
the mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away...
and i'm alone now.
4:12 PM
i always feel bad when i'm away and ppl
talk to me on msn then when i finally
come back they are already offline.
=(
sorry if that has happened to ya b4 ok?
even though i may appear online on msn
i'm usually away.
not as in busy, but literally
away from the com.
oh k......
you know, my plan has backfired on me!
zohmygod!
i was supposed to rest in nov,
and be working by december.
but, lookie...
its the 4th of december and
i'm still unemployed!!
(imagine facing such a prob
at a young age,lol)
but i honestly think the govt.
is right: jobs are always available but ppl
are just too selective.
gd luck to m.y who's going for an interview!
btw i can't visit my blog on this com,
a cream coloured blank screen
is all i'll see, so if you tag, i'll reply
to it asap..when the other com
is available!!
i hope my prev. post did not
evoke too many feelings of misery yea? ;)
no depression, its the holiday season!
oh, maybe you should take some
time to visit this website.
it might arouse your interest
in photography.
which i have been interested in
since i was a child.
but it was one of those interests
that quickly died off,
cos its an expensive hobby.

i think the running water one is pretty cool.
k, guys, i've nothing left to say...
except bye!
Clara.
p.s:

testimonial.
my pri. sch mate accused me of
going under the knife, lol.

sometimes when i love a person
or an animal too much,
i will wish that he/it never came into my life.
because then i wouldn't have to
experience the pain of their loss.
selfish, i know.
all things will come to pass.
including life.
there is a website..
that i chanced upon many yrs back,
but then i forgot abt it.
somehow, today i recalled it,
and visited it once again.
www.rainbowbridge.com
its more for the loss of a pet,
but i think its really touching.
as in, i cry when i read the stuff
that i see.
(ya, awww.)
basically, people pay tribute
to their lost pets there
and tell the stories of their furrypals.
and...i saw this.
how true, and applicable.
get yr tissue ready!
I hereby quote:
""How Long Will The Pain Last? How long will the pain last?"
a broken hearted mourner asked me.
"All the rest of your Life."
I have to answer truthfully.
We never quite forget.
No matter how many years pass,
we remember.
The loss of a loved one is like a major operation.
Part of us is removed,
and we have a scar for the rest of our lives.
As years go by, we manage.
There are things to do,
people to care for,
tasks that call for full attention.
But the pain is still there,
not far below the surface.
We see a face that looks familiar,
hear a voice that echoes,
see a photograph in someone's album,
see a landscape that once we saw together,
and it seems as though a knife were in the wound again.
But not so painfully.
And mixed with joy, too.
Because remembering a happy time is not all sorrow,
it brings back happiness with it.
How long will the pain last?
All the rest of your life.
But the thing to remember is that
not only the pain will last,
but the blessed memories as well.
Tears are proof of life.
The more love, the more tears.
If this be true, then how could we
ever ask that the pain cease altogether.
For then the memory of love would go with it.
The pain of grief is the price we pay for love.
By Ginny Brancato (Fificat) ."
thats one thing i take comfort in.
the memories.
bless her soul.
her website is awesome, and i love
that she's helping people get over their grief.
only on such a site can one truly
find a person that understands.
when i grieved for my lost pets ( 2 of them )
long ago, people scorned my actions,
and i felt so misunderstood.
they called me "over-sentimental."
but..why??
for the love that an animal gives
is unconditional.truly.
if you don't feed a person and abuse him,
he will hate you.
but animals don't hate, they just don't
understand why you are neglecting them.
when you're free, do read
some of the stories that people post.
its really moving.
cherish your loved ones.
there's no time like the present.
Cheers,
Clara.

Oh.
its 12 09 am now and i have to wake
up early tmr cos some ppl are
coming to service the aircons.
all 5 of them machines i think.
anyhow, i have a lot to type.
and very little time.
so screw caps lock and proper english.
i went for a job interview at
the head office of g_ior_da_no.
why the underscores in between,
you might wonder.
cos i have some berating to do.
don't wanna get sued or somethg.
i'm telling you, the location
of the damned place is A M A Z I N G.
it was somewhere near diamond indus.
like where on earth is that??
my mum sent me there and we spent
gdness knows hw long looking for that place.
its along paya lebar rd.
no. 110 i think.
incredible.
but the location made me quite happy.
i thought:
surely those kids can't find their way there.
wrong.
it was jam packed, such that
group interviews had to be carried out.
so...
shoot.
of all things, i had to be the only one
without working exp.
in that interview grp of about 6.
the only gd point abt me was that
i could speak properly.
the others were mumbling away.
sigh, i'll only know the results by nxt week
or so, whether i'm selected or not.
btw, i went to peek at rainbow
while she was snoozing..
and she growled at me.
really. -_-"
not her fault, tho.
i taught her how to growl.
its super cute.
you repeat a sound many times to her,
and if she finds it worth learning,
you hear her practising when she's alone.
then someday she'll surprise you with it.
today was the frst day that i went out
with my frens since the end of the Os.
about time man!!
we went ice skating.
was awesome.
h.h, m.y, flo.
and me.
it wasn't very fun...
until the ppl decided to resurface
the ice.
smoother=more slippery=faster=more fun= ;)
its really hard to skate on rough ice
cos the tip of yr skates hooks onto some
nook or cranny or the ice, making you trip.
i didn't fall =)
i never do, unless some1 drags me down.haha.
so..at the last part,
with the smooth ice and all,
i pulled the 3 of them.
v. heavy!!
felt like the poor buffalo in my geog. tb.
but we went fast and that's all that matters.
my raw ankles and 3 blisters in a row
on my left foot,
one of which has broken (yikes!) matters too tho.
painful but worth it.
lets do it again ppl!
now i'm waiting for.. a gd movie.
i hardly ever watch movies, so the
ones that i do watch better be gd.
reason why i don't watch movies
(in cinemas) is cos
1) I hate popcorn. The smell makes
me nauseous.(becos of an overdosage once.yucks!)
2) Time just flies.2 hrs just go by.
i simply cannot do impulse buying.
cos i'll feel guilty.
i usually do shopping with mum
cos she pays for it all ;)
actually, its more becos i value
my mum's opinion.
she knows me best, duh.
i grew up with her.
my dad gets super bored during shopping.
he will then wander off,
and we'll lose contact with him.
then we'll have to call him, etc.
very tiring.
my sis...
will rush into every shop,
relevant or not.
then she'll spend 20 mins in there,
and come out empty handed.
that just pisses me off to no end!
on the way home,
something irritated me!!
arrgh!!
you know when you're waiting for the bus,
its a long lane surrounded
by metal bars right??
yea.
i always queue.
and today, i was first in queue.
and i was reading.there were some ppl
queuing bhind me.
there are always some ppl
who linger around the area
to wait for the bus.
they refuse to queue.
well, that's fine.
but this indian woman that was lingering
nearby just cut my queue.
she just walked in front of me
and sat on the railings.
like wtf??
i thought that maybe, just maybe,
she would give way to me
or somethg when the bus arrives.
but NO.
she just barged into the bus.
you see, its not about being first.
that doesn't matter.
but its abt basic courtesy man!
you know what?
why don't we do away with queues
since no one respects them.
we'll all hover around the area,
and when the bus arrives,
we'll rush like mad dogs.
cool?
i think not.
c'mon ppl!!
mind yr manners!!
makes me so frustrated that
i could tear all my hair out.
night.
p.s:
now i know why i cannot watch
football without falling asleep.
cos its a "process" game,
but i'm more of a "results" person.
am i so insignificant?
