Over otak2 and heaps of teh o ais limau yesterday, the discussion centered around "re-evaluating friendships".

So yeah, the idea got tossed around and debated ever so heatedly. The initial suggestion was to sit down and thrash out the following;

1. Have you benefited at all from being my friend?

2. Have I ever been a bad friend?

3. What can I do to add more value to our friendship?

4. Is there anything you want to change about me?

5. Is there anything you think I should continue or stop doing?

5. Where do you see our friendship five years from now?

Are we willing to openly discuss these questions with friends closest to us?

Attended two classes at the gym yesterday which left me fatigued, and aching all over, But it's a good ache, one that tell you the workout was well worth it

So there I was sitting by the locker, minding my own business, checking smses on my phone when I had the urge to turn my head left. And I came face-to-face with a nice piece of thong-clad ass. Just inches from my face. I looked the other way, hiding my embarassment. The other way, turns out to be full length mirors which gave me a full view the ass, and the body that comes with it. And by then, the top was already off, displaying cupA assets. So I chose to stare at my feet for a while.

This is probably something I wouldn't be able to do - undressing completely in front of strangers! And I do admire those who can, albeit a not-so-great figure coupled with granny undies (*chuckles). I guess it's called body confidence and if you have it, flaunt it.

Wonder if I dare bare it all at a remote nude beach outside of the country.

Raging Hormones

Is there a magic pill I could take to stop the PMS-inducing hormones?Or can I at least transfer the syndromes to someone else?

I'm experiencing bouts of depression which leads to reduced productivity at work. Can't seem to focus or put my head together. I feel bored and restless, and running doesn't help. Nor does sleeping. Heck, even my appetite has somewhat deteriorated (although the kilos remain still). I am in no mood for social gatherings nor do I want to be alone.

I am in need of a holiday,but 10th May is still a long way to go. Hopeful that this dark episode will go away.

On another note, I'm viewing a potential property for purchase tomorrow. Quite desperate to get my own place and 2009 seems like a good year to accomplish this. Can't wait to start decorating, infuse my personal touch and start gardening. I hope it would be a good buy!

'Soaps 'n Such' OR 'Soapy Suds'

So humour me, which one would be a better name for my future soap-making and retailing business? 'Soaps and Such' OR 'Soapy Suds'. Some friends think they sounds obscene, especially if it reads "xx's Soaps 'n Such"..

Soaps - I think fancy soaps are marketable, I for one find it hard to resist the temptation of buying everytime I come across them . Especially those roughly cut home-made ones, using natural and organically-grown ingredients. Whenever I frequent flea markets, would be sure to be on the lookout for these specialty soaps and make my puchases. They're good as gifts, for display and eventually, when they start to lose colour and scent, I would put them to good use.

Definitely keen on starting this business. For now, shall enroll in a soap-making class!

Much needed break

Another one, in view of current developments and a seemingly quiet time in the office.

I've made the conscious decision to follow my dreams of travelling the world. And courtesy of mileage points incurred from work travels, I am on my way! London, Barcelona, Venice, Brussels and Paris, here I come. I am waiting with much anticipation, counting the days to May. Dragging along an old friend from school (was my class mate for 12 years!), we will endeavour to see, eat and do as much in our journey of self-discovery and experiencing all things new.

Initially was determined on a solo trip but due to a lukewarm support from the mister, I decided against it. Which turns out to be a good thing as I am now presented with the opportunity to share this with a close friend, before we 'cross-over'..

In search of a motivation boost

2 posts within a span of 10 minutes is not bad, I suppose

Work seems like a chore these days, despite current project dwindling down and the prospect of a new role. Turns out staying in the organisation is not so lucrative of an option, at least comparatively with others in a similar industry. Recent discovery on earnings of the 'high-flyers' also does not seem to impress me, to say the least. I know I can do more, outside of the climb-the-corporate-ladder world. Even if the money ain't great, the satisfaction would be pulsating to the core. Right now, all I need is a good push, in all the right places.

Better get started on that proposal!

If I could turn back time...

...I would have used more common sense
...I would have acted instinctively
...I would have not loved blindly
...I would have resisted temptations
...I would not succumb to stupidity

But I can't.
