Was talking to B1 yesterday
Me:"Hey if mommy had another baby, would you want a younger baby girl or boy?"
B1:"Of course a boy. Then he'll be able to understand me and know what I'm doing."
Me:"What if you had an older sibling? Girl or boy?"
B1,"errr boy...no, girl... Then she can take care of me."
Laughed my guts out on that one.
Now the two lovelies are into Bleach. Even the little girl hahaha and I even got my sister to watch it. Funny cos I started watching Bleach while in Bath and when I came home and thought James might like he, he didn't. Then he was like five, so I guess it's too much to ask a five year old to like anime like Bleach. Now the two are crazy about it and in fact, as kids are, they memorise EVERYTHING. So it's been nonstop bleach conversations the past few weekends. Scary

Friday call from Bear's house
Got a call at 8.26pm today. Was B1 calling
B1: "Yee Yee, what time are you coming to my house?"
(already feeling guilty that I haven't spent time with the rascals this week with mental note that thoughts of sleeping in tomorrow should now be completely banished )
Me: "will go to your place tomorrow sweetheart. I've garrett popcorn and bleach video episodes 1-10. Do you want Macdonald's breakfast?"
B1: "Yes Yee. Just hash browns, no hotcakes."
Me: "Okay, see you at 9 tomorrow."
B1:"okay Yee. See you tomorrow."
before I hung up heard B1 say,"yah Yee Yee said she will get one for you too."
Sucker aunt that I am, at least they still miss me when I don't go over. Nt long from now they wouldn't even bother.
Super love the rascals

Thanks Steve
Steve Jobs passed away at the age of 56 today. He single handedly transformed the way we used technology today. Just look at where im blogging today - on an iPad. And chatting to my frens on the iPhone. Internet in my hands. Changing the way I access information, find out things about the world and how we live our lives
There will probably not be such a visionary in a long time to come. Thanks Steve.

Eggs+flour+butter= kaching?
Well. Ive been with my current company for about a year now. And I'm starting to feel restless. Bored. Not passionate about the job.
These days been thinking about what if I start my own business? Can I make it work? I've always thought - I need a better oven and mixer etc - basically procrastinating about doing anything. Maybe I should start thinking
about it. Hmmm

toxic people
I think I've had about enough. Of complainers and whiners. Just about a couple of months ago, this lady joined my company and to her horror of horrors, her boss is just a big C. And she has been complaining about her boss everyday since I've been in office with her.
Yesterday when we went for coffee, she'd said: "Enough, I can't be complaining about her all the time." and in like 30 seconds went back to complaining about her boss. I think shall not go out dinner with her cos it's just listening to her whine and bitch. I can only take that much of bitching. I can understand how it feels to have a cunt for a boss, but I cannot possibly be listening to you complain at every possible break I get. Funny thing is, she said that she knows there are other things in life that are priority and this is just a job. So why so much complains, Ms? Absolutely tiring. And when I share with her some of my complains (since we are in a bitching sessions when I'm out with her 1-1) she quickly sweeps it under and goes back to her problems. So I end up just listening to her bitch n whine for 2-3 hours.
Another toxic person to be around is a friend who seems to be able to find something to complain about at work, no matter which organization she goes to. Granted there are always difficulties at work, but she is always complaining about someone, that someone is taking advantage of her helpfulness or some lazy person at work and how unhelpful this person is, or how unfair her boss is...it eats them alive, and it's starting to eat me alive too.
Are we a generation of complainers? These people don't realize that they are complaining ALL THE TIME. It's fine to occasionally want to let off some steam, but every time we meet, it's you complaining about work, about your colleagues and pardon me, it's people I don't know so I just can't keep up with the names, places and incidences. And to be honest with the small RAM capacity that I have, I'm not sure that I do wanna remember.
Solution is: to avoid these people on a 1-1 situation. I've my own share of complains too, and yes I do bitch about it, but I'm also learning to stop and trying not to inflict my friends with my whinging. Get a life, move on, do something that makes you happy and stop complaining.
Irony of this all is that this blog is a complain about complainers ha ha ha

- Raincoat
- waterproof shoes
- socks
- more jackets!
- warm shirts with sleeves!
It'd rain all day. Heavy rain by UK standards and the wind!!!! Oh shit. So cold. Am layering everything I've got to keep warm. Summer?

Oslo Lufthavn
Just got to Oslo at the airport that Annie had asked me to fly to - Gardermoen. I've been travelling for 21 hours now. Feeling like I might just crash any moment.
The air view coming in was quite something. There were a number of small Marinas along the tiny islands and toward inland there were lots of tall coniferous trees. The air is so crisp, oh to have a maximum temp of 23 deg or something. Something only we can dream of. ;)
The houses all have that pointy roof, like what kids would draw of the houses and amidst rolling fields. Typical of the Scandinavian type architecture People here should count themselves ever so lucky.
Not many Asian faces around so that's kinda nice for a change. But who knows, will see loads if Chinese nationals in central Oslo?

But you can't have it
I remember when I was in Bath and how I didn't want to go back to Singapore. And because I had no choice, I had no job and low on money, I had to.
And suddenly with crazy busy jobs, I'd lost that eager yearning and hunger to work and live abroad.
"Staying in Singapore could be good," I tell myself that now. But just two days into Europe, all that has changed. I feel that painful urge and longing to be in the UK. Again.
Just the entire weather, culture, people, architecture and way of life that makes me feel "I so wanna be here!!"
Just walking through some forested path in Oslo today and I was just envious and upset that I can't ever be in a place like that. I mean there are people who marry up, be housewives and stay home in places in the UK. Why can't I achieve that? A sense of failure kinda set in. I can't even get someone to like me enough to wanna be with me for a more than two years, what hope did I have to get someone who will take care and love me for the rest of my life? Is my life destined to be one that's always so busy, strapped broke and single? Yeah of cos this on the fact that I wouldn't be able to
achieve anything on my own.
With me getting old so fast, it seems so. And I just don't know what I will do in future when I've no more rascals when they grow
up, or my parents? Friends will find their partners. I'll just be in Singapore, working crazy 60 hrs a week and forgotten a dream that I long so much once.

Back after 4 years
On board BA for a long haul flight back to the UK. It's been four years too long. And strangely I feel a bit too asianified cos feeling a bit strange to see Angmo stewardesses. Hahaha. Been a manic week and the reality that I'm off for a two week holiday hasn't quite sunk in. Going to LHR and transit to Oslo to see Annie. I've missed her! It'll be great fun. Will attempt to document my trip as much as possible.
Now in a really spacious row on plane. Am happy.

7 months of no new posts...
Have I been THAT busy? Well obviously I am, I'm famous now. :)
Or you can read the article here
Just another prime example of unreasonable quasi-govt organisation thinking they can get away with hell. Thankfully the courts have some sense of justice and are fair. :)
