when decisions have to be made
its been a long while since i wrote on my blog, i have been in matane, canada for 1.5 weeks now, and today the sun is shining brightly, reflections on the snow has that glittering light, temperature is up to -8..this was a beautiful day!
sometimes, being solace makes you think,and at times, it makes you think weird also, but as it is said... what does not kill you, makes you better, it has to!
only after talking and discussion did i realise how we both were not ready to take this plunge of wedded bliss in july...., it has to be right, it has to feel right and knowing that you love each other more and the feelings are stronger after talking about it does it feel so right.
i know some may read this and wonder what the hell is she talking about.. well, for those who does, this decision was made not base on me being a coward or butterflies in the stomach...
1 divorced family is enough to last me a lifetime, i want mine to last forever and to do that, i need to know i am ready and look back and say to myself.. wow, i have crossed that bridge!
waiting till dec 2007 is not so bad after alll, there will be more planning, more things organised and especially more of my unhealthy thoughts organised!
learning french for the time being would be a good idea too!!!..
Au Revoir... till my next blog update, some pictures for you guys out there, in case writing too much gets a little bit boring!!!
oh yes, can someone please update me on Heroes!!! i have been missing it for 2 episodes now... FAINT!!!
when you have been having dark, gray, cold windy, snowy week, and temperature down to -38, this is those days you get off bed and thank the Lord for the sun!
i never realise how it felt being alone at home, where every little sound you hear makes you jump up and wonder where it came from. i am known not to be brave when it comes to new strange place and left to myown revision and having a vivid and imaginative mind does not help either.sometimes, being solace makes you think,and at times, it makes you think weird also, but as it is said... what does not kill you, makes you better, it has to!

Cat Rulez!
There have been reports on our local newspaper about the hygiene and what to do with all the cats, be it as a pet or strays. I will simply say, when you hate cats, you should not call yourself an animal lover or even keep a dog....
To all those pet owners, sterilized your cats, it's the only way to go, given the circumstances.
Catz Rule!
2 days before V-Day
I woke up this morning, twisting and turning, wishing it was Sunday, but alas, life cruel fate has it, i had to drag my feet off, look at Sasi all curled up and snoring away, wishing that instant moment, should i kick her or let her sleep in peace, and of course, i bend down, shook her body and ask her to wake up! HA! if i have to wake up, so does my cat!
**********************************************************************************
As brightly as the sun would shine, it could not give that much light and heat to one's heart that is dark and cold.
Monday is here, and as i rush for my coffee madness, allowing caffeine to sip into my bloodstream and calmess wins again, i click on Post Secret for weekly updates.
I came across this card, and with coffee in one hand, smile on my face, fact be known, this card below was not written by me! :D
I dont believe in the commercial bit of Valentines, but, if it means, saying i love you ten time more, kissing your love ones every little chance you have, or simply spending more time in bed, i say Bring It On!

THE Proposal
Many a times, in a woman's life, there will be moments when you wonder about how life would be like through your 20' right up till 30s. Will you be married, start a family, have kids, grow old with your partner, your soul mate as many would call it.
And many a times, you wonder, if making a decision is the right one you would make, and you realise, all your life, the "what if's" syndrome will haunt you in every possible way, especially when things go wrong.
Marriage proposal was not necessary for me, i always figured, you know you're going to get married, and long distance relationship is as to the extreme as it is.
I remember this saying, watching "Taken", ok, yes,I am a movie, drama, books freak at times but... i love it! So, anyway, Dakota Fanning was saying this:
Sometimes the best way to move into the unknown is to take familiar steps, small steps. To do ordinary things to deal with something that is in no way ordinary. We're always going someplace new, all the time. Familiar things just let us pretend that we aren't moving into unfamiliar territory. You take those small familiar steps, and you try to be honest, not to live as if nothing had changed but still to go on with your life. But there are times when what you need is a piece of how things used to be.
So, folks, 21st Jan, at 8.00pm (SIN time), 7.00am (CAN time) and 12.00pm (Denmark time), Lars said, "Idah, will you marry me?" and that changed everything!
It felt real than it was months ago, a man and not just any man, the man you know you want to spend the rest of your life with, proposed to me! not the neighbour next door, not the friend i know, not anyone else, but me! :)
On behalf of all the Mondays that i drag for so many years, this is one Monday i will not forget! I am actually smiling and dont need 10 mugs of coffee to keep my sanity level to normal rate. Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

2007
I have no idea what is wrong with me, either aging is in the process or my brain has decided to take a break from the world, you know, i think it's the other way round, it's overworking, mush and gerard use to tell me, whatever number of thoughts an average person thinks, i have double.
"In this sad World of ours, sorrow comes to us all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony, because it takes them unawares."
"Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite."
That was said by Abraham Lincoln.
As i reflect on 2006, conjuring up enough memory cell left, the good things that came to into my life, the things i wish i had done or said, the people i wish i could shoot (well, not that many, really).
I have met a man i want to spend the rest of my life with, start a family, something i never thought would happen in a million years, well not to me, maybe to everyone else, well, now that it's here, it's happening to me, i want to embrace it whole-heartedly, look back and see this young lady that drinks, smoke and dance in her own world looking on to this grown woman and know it's ok.
Last few years has allowed me to grow and taught me many things about life and people, family, work. I don't want to relive most of it... a lot of it was hard work and it's certainly work I don't want to have to do again. Yet I don't regret it... well most of it anyway.
I have drifted away from friends, and I have gained some friends. Friends have moved away from me, and some have moved back to me. The friends I cherish most are still a firm part of my everyday life - and that means more to me than I could explain.
I have become a better person... I have hurt some people and been hurt in order to become this - but I think they too would say it was well worth it.
I have learnt to live, to cherish the moment, to take life as it comes, to be happy, to smile when I don't feel like it, to open myself up and most importantly to love.
I know this year will be better than the last, watching my life pass me by, i don't want to waste my day... *i feel a song here...* Now that the year has come, time is ushering me off, pushing me from my back, saying it's time to move forward, it's now or never missy. Saying goodbye has never been a friend of mine. I feel equipped to tackle whatever is thrown my way...

Blimey, Thousand Apologies!

 Blimey! A little proper, a little saucy. You're so witty and charming... No one notices your curry breath |
My Trip
I am back home, well, it's Monday, and i am at work, needing coffee more than ever, with bloodshot eyes, i need sleep badly.
Reached Singapore late evening on Friday, and went to my sister's place which was 10 minutes away from the airport, greeted by Gerard and Genie at the airport, it was really nice to see them.
Unfortunately, i could not sleep at all, it was not my bed, and sleep came at 1am and sun came at 4am, as my mind was nagging whether Lars has reached Montreal safely. Saturday night, same thing, wondering whether he has reached Quebec safely.
Last evening, i came back to Toa Payoh, the smell of dog crap, courtesy of our friendly neighbours could not have made me happier.. I AM HOME!
Sasi was home, and it's nice, my bed, my cat, my pillows... all mine and still freaking sleep would not come cos Sasi decided to nag the whole night!!!
So, here i am typing on my blog, doing some personality blogging thing from Mush the moron blog, and feeling sleeepy yet again.
My stories about Denmark coming up with pictures to see.. My next countdown trip, Quebec in March.
Yawn!

Greetings From Denmark
Hi all,
it's been some time before i updated my blog, been busy when we reached Lars parent's place, chrístmas was here, and now that i'm more sober, my writing begins.
I'm still adapting to the cold weather here, the fog, which i was so excited about, but the overcast weather can be a little bit gloomy compared to sunny singapore, but unfortunately, singapore has not seen sun for days too due non-stop rain.
Lars made roasted duck, stuffings and his delicious gravy...yummy!!! i have a feeling i will gain weight going back singapore next month.
i will attach pictures soon, need more coffee right now to get over the fact that i woke up at 5am this morning.
Have a good and peaceful holiday folks, and Mush, lovely pictures on the blog dudette!!

Blogger Update
It's been a busy week, since Lars got here last Thursday, from our trip to KL, Malaysia and trips to meet friends and relatives. Lars also lost his wallet from one our outings at East Coast. It was bad, happened on Friday, and next day, we went to Downtown East Wild Wild Wet, he had a bad sun burn, still recovering, it's been painful.
Mush, setan!!! this time round,am getting Lars to update our blog. Pictures will be posted soon, folks! It's been raining heavily since yesterday, with no sun! wow!
Og der er jo nogle der har udtrykt ønske om et dansk indlæg her på siden (Mush). Hvad kan jeg sige, hóvedparten af Dem der læser siden bruger engelsk som kommunikation, så lad os fortsætte med det!
It is no secret that they do have slightly higher temperatures in Singapore compared to Matane or even Denmark for that sake here in the wintertime. It’s weird because there are Christmas lights all over, salvation army are standing on all corners and collecting money and there are 28-31 degrees.
What do I think of Singapore;
Nice town, beautiful skyline and always a green area you can spot!
To many Chinese.
The most beautiful girl in the world is living here!
Nice markets, enjoying that a lot.
Indian hair cut is a must, but beware of the cologne!!!!!
If you want it, you can find it here no matter what, that’s the conclusion.
Love it :-)

Felicity and Choon Lui Wedding!
Last week, Chin and I were busy trying to figure out what to wear, till the last Friday night, day before Feli's wedding. I, of course did not buy anything, but managed to dig out few things from the cupboard, plus a skirt complimentary of Chin.. Merci my Kukuu!
We met 6 years ago, when working together, and been together eversince, surviving on all the fights, arguments and most happy days... It was always the 3 of us, celebrating birthdays, christmas, night out to town, dancing, drinking.
Smoking cigar from a night out (walking barefoot back to hotel), oh yes, stopping by mcdonalds and geting burgers, all this at 3am in KL. These are memories that would stay with me and Feli for a long time to come.
Feli, all the talks, wine drinking, acting silly, letting our hair down, crying, anger at the world, growing up, dressing up, changing, it has been my pleasure for all these years, and just when we thought the possibility of falling in love seem so far or never there, the inevitable (or possibly not) from God happened, it came knocking, answering our prayers even if it was for one another...
I will miss you buddy, and am sorry, if this is going to be another one of those teary emails that we seem so good at sending... BUT, another chapter of our lives has opened, and as we set upon it, goodbye is far from our minds.... Cheers!
To Feli and CL, May Both Of You Find Happiness Till The End of Time, and Lord Bless You Both as He Blessed Many Before and After You!

Post Secret
Eversince i chance upon this website, it's been a routine duty to open it first thing Monday morning to check out new entries of the week. I have placed it on the Surf & Turf section of our blog for others to click on anytime.
People send in a postcard, with all their secrets, things they want to get it out, but at the same time, it doesn't necessarily mean you want to share it with someone, but sharing it with the world and still remain anonymous.
It feels real reading them, and some you realise, there are others like you, and it's nice tearing over some cards, knowing you're never alone in this world where the art of survival and reality of life looks back at you and say, Boo! and some get the chance to say it back.
I's still searching for the book in Singapore, Borders would be my safe bet, i just need to drag my feet to town and do it!
This is not a paid advertisement, by the way. heheheh...
It's still Monday folks, so yeah, wipe that freaking smile off your face, and bring me another mug of coffee will ya!

You know Christmas is coming when...
I was in the airport yesterday, and there right in the middle of DFS was this bright lit tree, with Santa, sleigh and gazebo that has angels sitting on them.. kids and adults taking pictures and riding the sleigh,while it was raining heavily outside.
It's wet season here,i can't say its cold, cos Lars and Mush would laugh at me and say you call 28 degrees cold??!!! heheheheh.
But, it's same feeling any oh how, for it's rainy, "cold" and you see all the lights and trees and people actually greeting you in shopping malls,not sure if it's season's greetings or could be due to people are spending more this month and bonus is round the corner... :D
I tried once, when this girl wished me and i said, well, i don't know, it's not that good a morning today, i saw a dead bird on my way here with it's brains splattered, and i don think we should smile that much today in honour of the dead. NEXT! i could have sworn that was coming out of her mouth for the next customer to pay her things.
It's 2.2 months bonus for all civil servants!! hmmm... i don't know what's so civil about being a servant, but 2.2 months bonus, SHOW ME THE MONEY!
Have a good weekend folks!
It's wet season here,i can't say its cold, cos Lars and Mush would laugh at me and say you call 28 degrees cold??!!! heheheheh.
But, it's same feeling any oh how, for it's rainy, "cold" and you see all the lights and trees and people actually greeting you in shopping malls,not sure if it's season's greetings or could be due to people are spending more this month and bonus is round the corner... :D

Till my next nonsensical episodes...
If you can't laugh about this you need help.... This is a supposedly true story from the Word Perfect help line. Needless to say the help desk employee was fired; however, the person is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "termination without cause". This is from the taped conversation leading up to dismissal:
"Word Perfect Technical Desk, may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with Word Perfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in Word Perfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type!"
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.
"Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
".......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
"Word Perfect Technical Desk, may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with Word Perfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

Happy Birthday Skat!
On your very special day
There are things I'd like to say to you my love on your special day:
I am forever thankful God sent you my way.
Like a gift from up above,
you showed me how it is to feel real love.
I know many mountains we've had to climb
and sometimes forever has seemed like a very long time.
Yes, we've endured our share of pain,
but together we have so much to gain.
Bigger mountains may lie ahead,
but together there is no hill we can not tread.
So always remember my love for you,
and there is nothing together we can not do.
I'll be here forever - my love is true.
The person beside me, that would be you.
