5 takes

*Dream Job Alert*

No, its not the Apprentices. Well... maybe its for some that love to climb the corporate ladder and be part of the rat race for fame and fortune.

Its the reality travel show that travel and living are having call the "5 takes". 5 Americans have to go thru an audition before being selected as travel journalists (Tjs) to travel the world and blog about their experience. A camera crew will follow them as well and wil be shown on channel 16. Haha.. Hell, they are coming to Singapore as well..

That's truely a dream job! Damn lucky! Well you can check them out at the website of travel and living. So super cool! Wish i am on that team. I hope that they will be recruiting in Asia as well. And then i'll pluck up all the courage i have and go for the audition. ha ha...

Life is getting better. Well... less boring. Going for a short get-away to Bintan next week. Sun, sea and the sand, here i come! Am quite excited about it. 3 days away from city life. That sound great!

I was just finishing on the 2 books by Frank McCourt. "Angela's ashes" and the second sequel 'Tis". It was brillantly written. Especially Angela's ashes. The memoir of the man's poverty-stricken childhood in Limerick; Ireland and how he overcome it. His writing is direct and unshamely expose his thoughts and experience. I can't help but feel sorry for his childhood yet he cleverly inject humour in almost all upseting situation. I could almost felt how he felt at certain point of time. Though i felt that if McCourt just end at Angela's ashes, it would have been better. With such a high expectation, 'Tis can be rather disappointing.

Gonna start a new book soon. "My sister's keeper" by Jodi Picoult. You know, my favourite part of having holiday is that i can read into the wee hours of morning and i still don't care. ha ha..

King Samuel

Had a tiring day today. Came back from work and ready to collaspe onto my bed. But not quite yet without letting off some stream. I really do enjoy working at the airport. Not only do i get to meet people from all walks of life, they are from different countries as well. Really interesting characters they have got. Well... yaya...booze also make them loosen up.

The other day, I met these 2 guys, from Australia and they are such funny people. They can really do stand-up comedies show. No doubt about it. Had me laughing all thru my work time. And today I met this guy from France. Samuel, working for NGO. I mean, i really like him. Really amazing guy with an interesting job. Enjoyed talking to him so much. All the humanitarian aid that he is helping with, the countries, culture and people he had met with. It sure helps that he is super good looking lah. Hehez..

My heart is filled with envy as i talk to each one of them. They have seen so much and know so much. When will it be my turn? Prolly soon. I pray so...

Gonna be a busy week. Gonna have a G12 conference at the expo starting thursday. God bless that event. Hmmm... Getting real late. Gonna go jump into bed and finally get the much awaited and needed rest.

Holiday is even more stressful than school days. Everyday, i have been cracking my brain as to how i should spend my days. When i am absolutely broke, it is unlikely that i can ask anyone out. simply spending my days aimlessly and wish that i could be out there and have fun. Wishing is an absolutely time-wasting activity that no one should indulge in. And it happen to be one of my favourite.

Well at least working is fun. Talking to people who have been around the world. It gives me a peep into the world as well. Maybe God is giving me a preview to the future that he will be blessing me with. The dream to see the world. The world will be my Oyster. Yummie!

Basically just bored with life for now. My brain is fried with all the TV i've been watching. Damn. If i am going to spend my life like that, i wish i am never been born. =( That's how bad it is...

Anyway, gotten my results already. Considering all the korean dramas i have invested my time in during study period. I am lucky i didn't fail any paper. Phew....

Hmm... at least i am planning on going to bintan next month. At least something i can actually look forward to finally. Its at this Loola Resort or something. Its gonna be fun. At least better than being home.

Reality check

Gotten a reality check this afternoon while shopping with mum. Finally realised that i have out grown those shops at Hereen and Bugis V. Hmmm... Told my mum that i have grown older. Indeed. Coming to 22 in another month. Scary thoughts. No wonder woman are afraid of exposing their age when they grow older.

Last weekend, I have a get together with my secondary school friends. We were just discussing how we should celebrate our 10 years anniversary next year. 10 long years! Incredibly amazing. Recently, i am finally waking up my sense that i am growing older. No longer the young girl that i was. Emerging to be a young woman. Exciting yet fearful.

Well, just hope that i can squeeze a short entry before the American's next top model. I am hooked on that reality Tv. So typical of me. Was quite disappointed that i missed the last episode as i was working then. Luckily today i got off.

Ciao for now.



A woman looking for her dream.

I haven't found what I am looking for. Because I haven't know what I am looking for. Living with a sense of unfulfillment inside me. A void that cannot be filled. What can fill that emptiness? The deep longing that even I do not know of. Something's missing. A gap that come between where I am and where I want to go. The distance makes me wanna cry.

Where is that place? My Utopia.

Someplace under the blanket of the stars. Some little quiet corner. Someplace which I can call mine. Take me there. Hold my hand and take me there. To where i want to go. Please don't let anything come into my way. Make my dream come true.







Over the Rainbow - Arlen-Harburg


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds flyBirds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds flyBirds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

How time flies. Dad had been in Guangzhou for 2 weeks already. Been worried sick about him. I can hear from his tone that he doesn't like it there. I hope that he can overcome the transitional trial period. After that, all will be better. Hmm... Realise that maybe i am stronger than my dad. He is like a child sometime and need people to take care of him. Or maybe i am wrong. Its really very different over there i guess.

Exams over! Not really looking forward to getting the results.. Hmm... Gone back to Harry to work. Met really interesting events for the past couple of week. See, i used to work in penny black and this customer recognise me from there. Been 3 years or so. Always thought he look like brad pitt though. Haahaa.. He remembered my best friend and her sister too.. That's what i called leaving an impression.

I've been poisoned. By Korean Drama. Haha... Finshed full house during my exam week. Then now watch lovers in Paris. Paris is so romantic. Hmmm...


Just receive an email from yz. He always send me very nice songs with lyrics that makes me feel like out of this way. He always gave me a dreamy and magical feeling. I used to read from somewhere that the impression you have on others is actually how you percieve that person to be. How you have see him/her to be and not the actual himself/herself. Then it makes me wonder how i make people feel. It might not be the real me.. What might be the real you?
