The Apple's Diary!

Cow... the female partner of a bull. While a bull is associated with high driven motives, strength and soaring market. The cow is often associated as a farming tool. I had a very busy day at work today! It didn't help that I suddenly had this cough that made my voice so scratchy and my throat so sore. Worse, I left my house so much earlier to catch the 1st company's bus to work. Ended up, I had to rush through everything. Because the feeder bus came so late. I had to gobble down my breakfast. One thing I absolutely dislike is to rush through my meal. Once I reached my workplace, my hands and legs didn't stop working and walking. It was exhausting. While I was going through the motion, I just felt that I'm just another technical person. Can do lab work and work fast but not a research person who can think and analyze and put pieces of information together. Seriously, I don't think I'm doing myself a favor in this way. I don't see any value in myself that the ...

Darlin's birthday is just around the corner. First time we celebrated his birthday, I chose the theme "Sky Adventure". I remembered we had a hard time going to the secret venue. When we reached there, he was very surprised that I took him to sky dining. Unfortunately, I got motion sick in the cable car so we didn't stayed in the cabin for as long as we both would have liked. The second year, I chose "Spaceship" and we had to walk a long way to Hangout @ Mt Emily for Wildrocket. It was chic and fine dining. But it was a good celebration. We had lunch with his family then, a visit to the museum. Dinner and followed by TTC. This year, of course there's a theme. We are going for "Old England". We have to dress or accessorize with a thing that's associated with Old England. I hope the plan will go well. Got him a gift that he certainly won't expect it. Check out the next blog on our "Old England" trip...

I luv this duo! So cute ah and the girl.. oh so pretty! Do you hear me, I'm talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying Boy I hear you in my dreams I feel your whisper across the sea I keep you with me in my heart You make it easier when life gets hard I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again Oooohhhhoohhhhohhooohhooohhooohoooh They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you I promise you, I will I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again I'm lucky we're in love in every way Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed Lucky to be coming home someday And so I'm sailing through the sea To an island where we'll meet You'll hear the music, feel the air I'll put a ...

Darren is on standby this week, which means he is on 24/7. So needless to say, I don't see much of him. Life without him physically by my side. I eat my own dinner at food court. I eat Hagen Daz ice cream by myself and then get sick *think the ice cream is too milky and too sweet*. I walk back from the interchange as a form of exercise. I squeeze with the crowd in the train during peak hours. I'm on time for Church service. I have time to play my piano and do my own stuff. I chill in my room with my aromatherapy. I think is still manageable but for long term without someone close to chat with you and do funny and weird stuff together, it can get rather boring. But the strange part is with him eating dinner with me and sending me home. By the time, I'm all settle down, is already past 10pm. Also, we often end up late for Church if we go together. My final conclusion: Couplehood is fun if you get your own "me" space.

Books are my constant companion. I like to read my books and like to keep them. Over the years, I kept on buying and now my bookshelves have reached their limits. Still, it didn't stop me from buying books. I love the library too. I guess library is our usual hangout place, used to be Borders and Kinokuniya. My books, I've got so many of them that I don't really have the time to read all of them. Here are my books that were gifts and meant to be gifts but I couldn't bear to part with. Experiencing the Heart of Jesus Part 1 & 2 by Max Lucado. Courier from Manila. I received them in early 2007 but so sorry Jazzy buddy, I didn't manage to go beyond Page 6. Gift and meant to be gift. I'm still debating internally. Not all are non-secular books. I enjoy good books, especially romance comedy eg. Alexandra Potter. These 2 books I bought it recently at Carrefour when they were having a sale just before CNY. Of course, some books I bought it under the influence of ci...

Morning by morning I wake up to find The power and comfort of God’s hand in mine Season by season I watch Him, amazed In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways All I have need of, His hand will provide He’s always been faithful to me. I can’t remember a trial or a pain He did not recycle to bring me gain I can’t remember one single regret In serving God only, and trusting His hand All I have need of, His hand will provide He’s always been faithful to me. This is my anthem, this is my song The theme of the stories I’ve heard for so long God has been faithful, He will be again His loving compassion, it knows no end All I have need of, His hand will provide He’s always been faithful, He’s always been faithful He’s always been faithful to me. ---------------------------------------------------- This song was introduced by Grace. The choir sang this song at last year Mother's Day. Find that this song is very meaningful and very close to heart. Indeed God has been faithful to me. 2 weeks...

As I'm typing this, my eyes are already half closed. I'm just waiting for my hair to dry and for my bro to come out from his shower so I can use the bathroom. It is the beginning for a mad rush as the work's dateline is drawing nearer. I'm beginning to feel the stress and the anxiety and fear that work cannot be completed in time or my experiments will go awry. Plus the preparation for the wedding... hais! What can I say? Is troublesome to certain extend. My head really swell when people told me what are the list of things to be done eg. form a committee, appointment people for different task, plan the wedding day itinerary. Forming a committee to run the wedding show for me is something new and foreign. I thought it is just too formal and too serious. When I approached friend to be emcee, I was thrown a lot of questions. Even though she meant well and wanted me to be sure, I was irritated in some ways. Perhaps is my character to stop thinking too much into a decision I...

Beyonce : The heart is stronger than you think; it like it can go through anything. And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, no Carrie : Sometimes you want to run away, Ain’t got the patience for the pain And if you don’t believe it look into, your heart the beat goes on Rihanna : I’m tellin’ you, Miley : Things get better, Rihanna : Through, Miley : Whatever, Rihanna : If you fall, Miley : Dust it off, don’t let up Nicole : Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle Beyonce : You need to know CHORUS : If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough, But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up Who are we to be..Questioning, wondering what is what don’t give up…THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Tired! Exhausted!! Zombified!!! But in this sleep-less week, I learnt something new. Yesterday had our 3rd MPC session with our Pastor. In the topic of conflict management, the Pastor commented that we shouldn't say "You make me angry" Because as a person, he did not make you angry. Rather his actions made you angry. You can choose not be angry. So say "I'm upset by your actions." You own your own emotions. I find that it is so philosophical. Anyway, beauty sleep is important to me. Hope to catch up on my Zzz time this weekend.

My heart is heavy and troubled. How do you choose between morally accepted and rightful in your sight? Morally accepted doesn't mean that the way is correct. Rightful in your sight may not be justified as morally accepted. Will you do what is rightful in your sight but not morally accepted?
