TGIF

I enjoyed tonight's dinner at Dempsey. The food was delicious and I had great company. What else could I ask for? It's always fun chilling out with the babes. They are truly my BFF!!! Ha! *roll eyes*

Must definitely visit Dempsey again with Darling when he's feeling much better.

Early Bday Pressies

I've received 2 early bday pressies today. A Canon Ixus 90 and a Sony Ericsson W890i. Thank you, Darling! =)


I figured a SLR camera would be too good for an amateur like me. It would also be too cumbersome for me to carry around. Besides, knowing that I would lose interest in it in less than a week and hence chuck it aside, it's definitely a waste of money to make such an expensive purchase. So, I'm happy with what I've got. I can't wait to use it tomorrow. I wanna take nice pics with the babes at Dempsey.

Sis has the same handphone as me. Hers is bronze and mine is black. It's sleek and slim - just what I'm looking for in a handphone. It's my first Sony Ericsson. Time for a change from the usual Nokia phones. But it doesn't mean that I am no longer a loyal user of Nokia phones. I still own a Nokia N95. It's rather big and can't fit into my wristlet. Anyway, it's a gift and I shouldn't complain at all. So, I'm going to shut my mouth.

Thank you YOU again, Darling!

Tsk Tsk...

What's wrong with teenagers nowadays?
This is just too embarassing.
(Oops!) You did it again. (Think Britney Spears)
Twice in 6 months!
Sigh...

One Two Three Four...

I wonder why kids love Hi5 so much???
"One Two Three Four, Hi5! One Two Three Four, Hi5!"
Now, the tune is stuck in my head.

First Day of School

Glenn was making a racket while all of us in the other room were still asleep.

"I don't want! I don't want!!!" Glenn screamed at the top of his lungs.

Gwen got up and ran out of the room. She must have gone to check what was happening.

"Cheh Cheh! HELP ME!!! I don't want to go to school!!!" Glenn pleaded.

I couldn't help laughing when I heard that. I thought the school which Glenn attended must be a really horrible horrible school. His teachers must be some hideous looking monsters who torture and evetually eat children up! Hahaha!

Then I thought of how I hated the first day of school too, especially after a long break. Imagine me screaming, "Darling! Darling! HELP ME! I don't want to go to school! I don't want to teach! SAVE ME!" That would be ultra funny.

So, yeah, first day of school sucks. Hang on in there, Didi. You'll survive!

Random Thoughts

1. What does 'catching up' with old friends really mean? Very often, it becomes a gossip session - updating me with what has happened to so and so and blah blah blah. I cannot deny the fact that those juicy news do amuse me and provide much entertainment but after a while, it ceases to excite me. And at the end of the day, I questioned myself, 'So, what has really happened to him/her? Is he/she doing fine? Do I really know?' 'Catching up' becomes meaningless when all I know is about others who mean nothing to me rather than those whom I really care.

2. It's strange. I'm beginning to miss Ali baba land. I wonder why.

3. I've been listening to Pink Martini's album. Gwen loves the song 'Que Sera Sera'. I love it too. There's something magical about the song. I sang it to Gwen when she was upset. She smiled and then broke into laughter. I'm very sure I am a good singer.

4. My Sony Cybershot died on me. I'm pretty upset about it. First, I can't take pics. Second, it means I need to spend money to get a new camera. I'm thinking of getting a SLR camera. I wanna take pics that look pro! I wanna be a pro photographer! Yes! Keep on dreaming, gal!

Pensive

It all felt so very familiar.

"I'm waiting...I am still waiting." Those were the words that echoed in my mind while I stood at the courtyard. I looked at the faces around me and wondered if those words would have the same effect if I were to use them again. Perhaps, they would have lost their magic. Things would never be the same, I guess. Afterall, change is the only constant thing in this world.

I looked at my kids and I realised how much they have grown. I'm glad we still have things to talk about. I hope it stays this way for many years to come. And even if we do lose each other along the way, I hope they would remember there was once upon a time, an unreasonable, harsh and unsympathetic tyrant who used to rule the Ong empire. =)
