I don’t wanna go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody’s breaking up
Throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That’s why I say (Hey)

[Chorus]
Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you

You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

I don’t wanna go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride in our private lives
Ain’t nobody getting in between
I want you to know that you’re the only one for me (one for me)
And I say

[Chorus]

And now
Ain’t nothing else I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now
I’m singing ’cause you’re so, so into me
I got you
We’ll be making love endlessly
I’m with you (baby, I’m with you)
Baby, you’re with me (Baby, you’re with me)

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s all that counts

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s why I say

[Chorus x 2]

现在的男人太过专一。
现在的女人太爱捏花惹草。

男人为保护心爱的女人，不惜划清界限，只求疼惜她和她相爱到老。
女人为她心中所爱的男人，不惜放弃爱她的男人，执着地等着不可能发生的恋情。

你要说男人死缠着你不放，
倒不如说女人搞不清状况。

This is my very first time betting on a soccer match (of course with much help from Lester). I truely understand why the guys are so engrossed in the matches, even some of them are pretty lousy.

My heart pounded very hard in second half match as Korea is behind Togo by 1 goal. But that is not the point~ Coz Korea won yesterday’s match anyway…

Shall choose selected match to watch. Heez~

Surfing the internet for some stuff and i come across these recipes:

Barley Scrub
Ground up barley can also be used as a gentle facial scrub. Seems that barley is something that should be in your beauty ingredient cupboard.

Honey Cleansing Scrub
Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.

Facial Toner
In blender, puree 1 tablespoon honey with a peeled, cored apple. Smooth over face, leave on 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

Firming Face Mask
Whisk together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon glycerin (available at drug and beauty stores) and enough flour to form a paste (approximately 1/4 cup). Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Moisture Mask
Mix 2 tablespoons honey with 2 teaspoons milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Smoothing Skin Lotion
Mix 1 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub into hands, elbows, heels and anywhere that feels dry. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with water.

Skin Softening Bath
Add 1/4 cup honey to bath water for a fragrant, silky bath.

Hair Shine
Stir 1 teaspoon honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. Blondes may wish to add a squeeze of lemon. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.

Hair Conditioner
Mix 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup olive oil. (Use 2 tablespoons oil for normal hair.) Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap. Leave on 30 minutes. Remove shower cap, shampoo well and rinse. Dry as normal.

Yes~ I’m definitely looking forward to my redang trip but with some worries. My period is going to hit one of these days. Sigh~ But I had a few advices from my beloved colleagues and Geok Leng. So i get to know that there is this “magic pill” from the doctor that can postpone your period. Just take them 2 to 3 days before your period. Hmm… Best solution~ Just pop some pills.

One of my colleagues has been very “helpful”. She pass me a tampon, asking me to give it a try. I nearly fainted in the toilet when i open the package. Seriously (and shy to say), I don’t know how to insert that thingy. And i dun think i will use that in my life. Hahaha~

Just return from Keong Siak Street from a Farewell Dinner for Edel and June. Both of them have been serving the company for 13 to 14 years and they have decided to end their service today.

I know June as she is in my lunch kaki the first day i started work. I only get to know more about her when we have a number of chance to have individual lunch when Fanny is on hospital leave. Relationship builds stronger when we moved into this new business building and she sits 2 cabinets away from me.

Edel has been the cheerful and loud mummy in the company. Other than comical and nonsensical, she always like to imitate how people behave and talk, making the floor audience laugh. You will remember her as a food icon. She always treat me like a little girl in the company. Call me Ah Hiang in the company until sometimes i also pai seh.

The dinner progresses quite well and the food is nice. We made quite a noisy group of female and the crappy ones. It is always when we bid goodbye, someone started to tear. This time is Fanny. I don’t dare to go near Edel or June coz I know for sure cannot control myself. Neither do i dare to look into Fanny’s direction. The emotions can be easily spread, I thought. Several eye watery incidents, but I managed to clean them off. Hope I can stay calm when my turn comes.

Wish them all the best in their future. We will definitely keep in good contacts.

Sasa has burnt / will burn a big hole in my pocket. Once again, I am going to return to my secondary school way of buying facial masks and other beauty products. But I definitely have gained some knowledge and become wiser in choosing products that are suitable for my skin.

At the same time I am also thinking, does the theory expensive = good quality in this area? I believe it does. I can’t deny that I sometimes get too obsess with expensive products. However, wisdom tells me we should get stuff that is SUITABLE instead.

Anyway, I have decided to change my toner brand to one of the Korean toner the sales girl has recommended. It is extracted from the plants, no alcohol and has whitening effects. Seriously, I am in quite a dilemma to be either white or tanned. It is easy to be white, and I thought white is beautiful whenever I see the office ladies in Raffles Place. However, I foresee that I will be out in the sun as frequent when I go back to school. Tanning is also easy, just the hazzle to maintain the copper tone with the constant exposure to the killing sunlight. Likely to cause pigmentation if no proper care taken. Too pale looks sick… Too dark wear black colour clothes (which are my favourite) not nice… I now belong to a faded tanned and a tinted fair.

Did a search in the Google, this is what I found in About.com. Some leisure reading for ladies who are interested about AHA – Alpha Hydroxy Acids and BHA – Beta Hydroxy Acid.

Better think twice before you make any similar statement:
“My parents don’t love me…”

They are showing hidden concern. Appreciate them when they are still around~

Nagging
I took leave on last Friday planning to take a break before Peter is back in Singapore. I was pretty mad that day, when i switched on the computer. I saw the wallpaper my sister set. It was a photo of herself with MY NECKLACE. We are in cold war for like 1 month or so, never talk at all at home, no interaction. There is no possibly i have lent her my necklace.

So i searched thru the photos in the hard drive, and read the modified date. I was shocked. I was in the house when the photo was taken. Somemore when i am asleep. Can you imagine somebody sneak into ur room, take your stuff? This is something i cannot accept. And i found another of her recent photo with my spaghetti top that i have been searching for 2 months. She has the cheek to wear it. I dunno what i can lock. I have locked my wardrobe since cny, now display set also need to. At that point of time, I really wish to move out to hostel and never come back again. Very disappointed. And not forgetting a slap on her face or a kick in her stomach.

Redang Trip
Me and Chan will be going to Redang this July. A get away before our school starts. And some time to be alone just with him in paradise. Checked out prices over internet (direct booking) for accommodation, transportation and ferry. A bit troublesome to go thru all these, so we decided to go to travel agency in Jurong Point. Save the trouble this time round but should we intend to revisit this paradise, we can plan ourselves.

Supper
Had supper at Bukit Timah Prata House with Suqin, Laily, Wee Kian and Chan. Quite a good meet up since we have not meet for long. Heez~ A lot of things to say to everybody, but time is very little and most of us are quite tired liao. Hope can have another session some other day.

The Da Vinci Code Movie
This movie is good for people who did not read the book. But for me, it sucks though. Some of the details are not in the movie. The movie did not explain much about the Knight of Templar which Langdon describe quite a bit to Sophie in the book. Teabing and his servant have tabbed onto the phone and therefore they know so much about the Holy Grail and their activities. With their knowledge, Teabing cheated on Bishop for his plot. The major one is about the cryptex. There are all together 2 cryptex. What the movie showed is the 2nd one, opened with the password APPLE. Blankly stare in the screen expecting for more. But somehow disappointed.

Resignation
I have yet to tender, but i took the opportunity to tell them verbally yesterday. Suddenly feel very sad, as though the situation is firm. But my company secretary has told me i have received 20% increment in salary. What a waste, i won’t be able to receive them. That is a lot of money by the way~ Hahaha~

The rest of the people, not intending to tell them till date is closer.

Yesterday I watched the repeat telecast of a variety show, Bai Jia Le, hosted by Mark Lee and Bryan Wong. The team that Mark Lee works with is a family of 3, adults in their 40s and child in his primary 3 (I guess). I am very surprised to learn what the wife has done for the house, DIY curtains to the lights, bao ga liao. When Mark asked the husband to change the light, he took so long to accomplish. But the wife like shoo shoo shoo finish in a flash. Incredible woman!!! Applause please~

Now I wonder: how many women will stay home and be a full-time house wife? Daily house chores shall includes:

• Make breakfast
• Babysit the baby
• Bring the children to school
• Go market
• Wash dishes
• Sweep and mop the floor
• Do laundry
• Cook lunch
• Feed the baby
• Bring children back from school
• Bathe the children
• Feed them lunch
• Play with them
• Feed baby again
• Pat them to take afternoon nap
• Prepare dinner
• Cook dinner
• Wake children up
• Hubby back
• Eat dinner
• Feed baby again
• Maybe you have a couple of calls from relative or friends to chit chat with you, so entertain them
• Children and hubby watch TV while you put the baby to sleep
• Clean the dishes
• Wash the soiled clothes
• Take this chance to bathe
• Check on the baby first
• Iron or mend some clothes
• Chase the children to brush teeth and to bed
• Read bedtime stories
• Go kitchen & living room and touch touch here touch touch there (this is what my mum always do)
• Go back room still need to satisfy the hubby
• Drop dead and sleep like pig
• Oh no~ Little baby crys~ Need milk and change pampers

Actually I meant to list 4 main points. But the list is definitely clearly break down. Heez~

And therefore, given an opportunity for the young single women and men to work oversea for a term of 3 years, will you go? Terms given: pay rise, explict prospect oversea and when you return back to the base. You are attached, not married, no children, no burden, parents are healthy and kicking, can earn a living, still have siblings at home to look after them. Will you seize this opportunity and biang for this 3 years?

My dear will not. Reason given: girlfriend is like family. (-.-‘”) But I will. Go and chuang yi chuang. May be I will be a better person leh? My thought is earn as much as you can when your youth still worth a penny.

What do you think?

Met Karen to the NTU Tea Party at Asian Civilisation Museum. The function room is just nice for us to roam and mix around with. There are several “media” in between the crowd, the photographers and camera man from the School I guess. We are served with ice tea which tastes like cough syrup. But generally the buffet snacks are great. Heez~ And I make 2 new friends, but I don’t remember their name.

The course presentation starts shortly and we are briefed with what to expect. Without reading much of the course when I opted for, I am amazed by the foundation work that they focus and ultimately the degree that I will be getting (and specialize in). Quite excited though~ But as usual, they will be revamping some of the modules, if I do not misinterpret, so what they list may not be what you are getting. I am a bit greedy though, wanted photography, filmatography, visual communications, animation… Though we will be taking all these as core modules in first year, but at least I give a try and hope to reduce my fear in those unfamiliar trades.

Throughout the high tea, I realize some are quite young. They look like secondary school students. Some dress until I wanna pengz liao, too kua zhang. This School is definitely going to be very interesting since everyone is so happening in a very wrong way.
