breaks my heart.
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here
I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone
I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
Quite satisfied with our looks after ransacking through the whole collection of costumes at bali lane earlier.
i’m going with the mod look , with 3 crazy retro guys. with such outstanding looks, we’re going to be slightly late. hahaha
i haven’t been working “properly” for my rounds. feeling a little guilty here.
i think the cny mood is getting into me!
xoxo
i’ve a whole list of stuff to do but i’ve no energy to get it done. its our company dinner on friday and i just got back from best denki with the lucky draw prizes. there’s still bingo and another number game that i’ve yet to organise. sometimes i really wonder should i be doing this all by myself? feels really redundant to me especially when i’ve more important stuff to see to. its supposedly a fun thing but everything dad throw to me now seems like added stress.
having dinner with the sales team tomorrow and we’re going to check out costumes for monday. i’ve found my hair scarf.. only short of a retro ear ring and bangle! 
on to happier stuffs,
Melissa decorated a cake for my 23rd!
we had a simple dinner at bark cafe .. and baby came over to join us after he’s done with work.
And dad’s gift to me..
The Franck Muller Master Square.
cannot be happier.
last week too, there was an impromptu meet up with my sec school peeps after 7 years of missing in action!
it was great fun to catch up with all of them.. especially seeing long lost friends like Idris. he’s still one funny guy! dinner was at an indonesian restaurant at PS. food was so-so but the company made up for it.
Will be heading down to the air show on Sat and Potluck on Sunday!
today is the start of the 9 dinners i have to attend for the year. heading over to Ah Yat abalone restaurant for an ID company dinner later around 5ish and i am still clueless about what to wear. i haven’t been shopping for a while.. until yesterday i finally used my ib device again after so long. it must be the longest time that i haven’t online shopped.
ordered this dress/top in both colors cos i couldn’t make up my mind!
just completed a presentation to over 30 odd people at a huge location earlier. boss went along to give me his “support” (i am so touched) haha but i’m glad i didn’t screw things up. these are one of the things in life i thought i’d never be able to handle.
yesterday’s was baby’s birthday! he ended work early, skipped his squadron dinner and i brought him for some italian food at Singapore Polo Club. simple, quaint little cafe overlooking the greens and some training horses. the night ended at his place where we just chilled out watching tv and snuggling. simple pleasures in life like this makes me happy!
bonus is in today. dad was the “cai shen ye” in the office and its good to see everyone’s smiley faces.
having catching up with long lost friends and am looking to more gathering this weekend!
Master of Complications
Franck Muller – The Master Square
In 2005, the House of Franck Muller presented a watch whose geometrical purity of line lends it a perfectly harmonious appearance. Once again, the Franck Muller designers have drawn on Art Deco. The rigour of the shape of its case follows the principles of architecture applied at the time.
The same concern for refined elegance is to be found on the dial – white painted Roman numerals adorning the black sun-stamped translucent dial and, vice versa, black painted numerals contrasting with a white background. Master Square comes in all colours of gold.
Harmony and balance best describe the design of the Master Square.
Movement: Self-winding mechanical movement
Display: Central hours and minutes. Date at 6 o’clock.
Case: 18 carat gold, available in white gold, yellow gold, pink gold and red gold with diamonds
Dial: Sun-stamped, translucent lacquered dial with Roman numerals, available white on black and black on white.
Strap: Hand-sewn leather strap

I AM SOLD.
I have been eyeing this piece since last year after I saw it at one of the Cortina boutiques. After saving up for a while and now I know that my aunt can get me quite a good discount, I think this time I’m going to make it mine after so much procrastination. The Master Square is currently out of stock so I gotta wait a month or so. 
imagine the disappointment when u are all set to make a purchase only to know that you can’t!
I had a funnnnn weekend with the boy at the Amara Sanctuary and an overdose of kushiyaki. Pictures up on facebook.. i will only upload it on my blog when my laptop is fixed. someone changed my password so i cannot access to it right now. it has been left idle for more than a month and i’m too lazy to do anything about it.
ohhh and i realise i haven’t finished blogging bout my Korea trip.. stopped at Day 4. will definitely complete it before i leave for the next.
Alert: extremely busy week ahead.
Jan updates
We’re coming close to the end of January and i still think that i’m living in 2009. I tend to write cheques ending with an 09. I update my system indicating Jan-09. Indeed 09 was a better year (at least for now) since 2010 started off with so many uncertainties.
just today, my mom bought some fortune cookies to the office and i had a slip that wrote : Your relationship begins to blossom, 2159. Well i hope it blossoms really soon cos work has been tying us down .. so much so that we do not have much time for each other. Yesterday my cousin and I drove down after work to town to meet up with the boy to get his first watch. I could sense his eagerness to GET IT that very day cos the both of us has been eyeing on it for the longest time! He got the Bell & Ross timepiece in the end.. but mine wasn’t in stock. Gotta wait for a month.. well at least i’ll be cash richer by quite a bit till i make that investment.
hopefully all that starts well ends well this month. Anticipating so many events coming up in February and that’s the time when i can take a breather before April where its time to work doubly hard again!
life has gotten more interesting as the day passes. 2010 has proven to be filled with challenges and new discoveries. i am amazed by how things took for a 360 degrees turn. at times i ask myself , is this the real business world out there ? are people so hypocritical , sly and cunning to resort to such underhanded means ? this lesson has hit me hard , like a wake up call for me to exit my comfort zone and stand up for myself , and for the people i believe in.
i think this whole saga is a complete joke by itself. it can probably be filmed into a hongkong serial after the abalone and mooncake drama.
i have learnt not to be too trusting , cos u never know who else around you is going to turn tables at you anytime. even so, its the survival of the fittest.
work aside..
we are both ready to make my first MAJOR splurge of the year! or, should i say.. an investment.
