panda ping pong

recently not only did i find out the harsh reality that of a cat fight, ive also witnessed and suffer the spillover effect of such.

usually the idea of a cat fight is attributed to two (or more) girls wrestling in mud…ya, dream on. back on track….it’s the clawing of each other’s face, or aptly in this case, 面子. usually followed by the proclamation of territory, in which case innocent people suffer for reasons ‘too complicated’ to understand.

in the case of the 21st century fight, this usually extend to external friendship which are marred by the trauma of cold wars and awkward silence. it may make situations uncomfortable to mingle around due to the unspoken rule of, well, not speaking.

a saying goes, ‘a gentleman’s sword is his pen’. for women, it should be ‘a lady’s sword is her ice-cold stare’,  upon which freezes the hearts of those she glances at.

ayoh why must be so difficult. the idea of a 赤子之心 is that of an embracing heart. to look at an issue and resolve it with positivity and optimism, and then, let it go.

ah..whatever.. the ‘Ah Q Spirit’ prevails. 人人爱我 我爱人人. it takes more to accept the situation as is and sear through the iceberg to move on.

rock on people, rock on.

life’s too short to bear grudges, a recent sudden passing of someone i know reinforces that fact.

a long time ago, i once told a friend who’s in trouble

‘dude..if it’s too difficult, it’s not meant to be’

what happens when things are too easy?  hmmmm…

‘nooo.. its just reverse psyhc lor….when its too easy ya complain cannot be…when its too hard ya also complain and give up.. dun hv in between one la..’

and it’s not a chinese

as usual the blog is put on hold when i m on holiday back home.

this oct hol holiday was well timed and spontaneous.

a few things to take with me back to china were:

1. my parents are actually very hip and happening. and very relevant with times

2. i m getting old-er (went to zouk twice, stayed 15 min each ’stretch’. my hangouts were the botanic garden and souther ridges)

3. nothing beats old times with old friends

4. everyone is deeply advanced in personal development, relationship + career + other responsobilities-wise

5. changes happen for a reason, and most of the time, it’s a blessing in disguise

6. and it is never luck, it is blessings

things are gonna take a different turn this time around.

let’s quote what gracie left me with: ‘be in the world but not of the world’

oh and btw. love shout-outs to the newly engaged TT!!!!!!!

xxxxx

it is gonna be snug. it will happen tomorrow.

thought i would bring some tv series home for mom

Walk with smooth movements. As you walk forward, roll your foot from heel to toe. Avoid coming down hard with your heel on the ground

further advice from the Mayo Clinic

we have a plant in the Singapore Botanics Garden called: SUPERBUM!

it reads:

‘ensete SUPERBUM

this attractive and impressive banana-like plant is closely related to the true banana. unlike banana, ensetehas a sturdy stem swollen at the baes, a very short leaf stalk, and does not produce suckers….’

thanks to google map, i finally gaged office-home distance! about 1.5km.

and been walking home at least 3 times a day. yay! fantabulous. save money on gym membership. haha. (doubt it is effective though)

haha so a newly-wed friend is currently going through her ‘home-proud’ phase

her: ‘The lizards are so annoying.. I feel like capturing them and killing them. They give me a scare, don’t eat the bugs in the house and attacks my food everyday. I laid out ant poison in the kitchen…and the lizards ate them in the end.

Did they die? NO.

They shat on my kitchen counter even more. They kenah stomachache. FWAH. angry

me: HEAHEAHEAHEAHEAHEAHEAHEAHEAHEA
CAN I PLEASE BLOG IT JUST SO I CAN READ IT AND LAUGH AT HOME?????????

PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

her: Yes u may. Enlighten everyone about lizard sh*t.

They sh*t on my washed dishes too. Fwah biang. really CANNOT stand it.
me: uhhhh how do u get rid of them?

her: Wash my dishes again lor. Stress stress. More stress: when they jump out of nowhere and stare at u.

 
me: STOP MAKING ME LAUGH OUT LOUD IN OFFICE

u shld start taking ur rage out at them and scream. do they really drop their tails? can u take a video pls
her: So far I’ve not seen them drop their tails.

But… I hate roaches more… so I shouldn’t be so angry with the lizards. But seriously babe… they started swimming in my plastic bag that was holding my bread. ‘swimming’ becoz they cldn’t find their way out… and I was screaming. So that made them panic even more. Not one, but TWO lizards.

man..i love this girl

‘u know what, she gave away Juno (Prada) to another Mamasan. sigh…………………i prefer she gave Juno back to me, so i can give away JJ, may be another Mamasan chang her name to Dior’
