Once again it's back at the office. It's Wednesday in a blink of an eye. Savouring on Lipton quality Black tea and a piece of bread that has purple fillings. You got it, it's rasberry jam.


When i was younger i used to have the round Marie milk biscuits with Milo at Grandmama's every morning. Great grandmama would get the biscuits from the huge container & place it on my huge pink plate. I'd drink my Milo from the donald duck cup.


Great grandmama passed away when she was 86. I was in secondary 2 then. I cried a whole lot at church in Ipoh. I miss her.


In primary 6, grand uncle left the world. He was a good & handsome man for the ashes contained a pearl at the crematory. At the ceremony, so many people wore black. I was sad. I saw a whole lot of people with tattoos, smoking away, gambling, mingling within themselves & talking loudly. I learned that grand uncle had a high rank in the secret society. He turned good at some point of his life, but still respected & honored in the name of the underworld. When he was around, i never saw him out of his home, till his death bed. I'll never foget the day i cried hysterically.


I miss the way he tried to pronounce my english name. I always laughed then, when he called me. Now I would go into a daze when i remember his voice.




Okay, why did i started my entry with breakfast and ends it with death. But it's rather cool in a way 'cus one day you might just die before finishing breakfast (choke choke*).


What's with this saddistic morning?! Anyway, back to present. Oh yes, at the gym yesterday evening there were 3 hunks. Lucky, but not THAT lucky, got a worse result for the whole of last week & this week, of 21.24min for a 3km run.


Mum: Who was at the gym today?
Me: Hmm. 3 hunks.
Mum: Ooo. lucky i didn't go.
Me: Why not.
Mum: Cus it would turn out to be 3handsomes, 1pretty & 1ugly toad.
Me: !!! (taken aback at once)


In actual fact, my mom's young. She's health & skin cautious, what more can she ask for? Okay, actually she's asking for more- vein removal surgury- so she can wear short skirts. Fine. It's gonna cost $8,000 for two legs! Her skin's flawless, except for freckles she keeps complaining about, and the thing is that ONLY she can see it. Darn. There's not enough to satisfy a living human.


The new year's coming in 3 days. Any resolutions peeps? I doubt i have any. I ain't persistent enough for resolutions. Are you?


Btw, fyi, Suntec won't be having any Countdown this year.


To my dearie: It's not the last day you're gonna see each other. Reality cannot change 100%. What's yours is yours. Done your part, the other doesn't want it, just take a step back and look at the whole picture. You're the one who has saved it & won on your side already. In any case, write it all out, scold useless bums in black & white. We'll feel better. We'll get the box on friday. We'll endure every single lil' thing, listen to that song, sit at the balcony, chocolate & ice water. We've fixed our minds on something, we'll just do it. Getting all wishy-washy, running away from reality's & truth's THEIR forte, not ours. Remember, many people love us the same.


God Bless Everyone,
Nel. xoxo.
