It's been a while

It's been a while since any of us posted any article up here. Momo's the most active, I guess, compared to the rest of us. But even the most active can get disheartened if nobody else contributes.

I know I have been slacking too but I guess I felt 'lazy' seeing just Momo and myself posting. Momo has more perserverance than me-lah :P

What I want to say is, it doesn't take a lot to create a blog, but it also doesn't take a lot to cease its existence. It takes collective action to keep it running, not just on the effort of one person.

We agreed to post anything at all that happens in our daily lives. So, it doesn't have to be earth-shattering news or discovery, dearies, it can be whatever you see on the way to work, how you felt that day, what you did at home (cook, wash, etc), where you went/is going, what movie you watched? It can be anything. Or just a photolog. You can just post pictures. At least it keeps the blog alive.

I have 2 blogs to upkeep, this and my personal blog. It is a little daunting to find interesting things to write for both sites but if each of us are willing to contribute, then I guess it makes the other contributors feel more intrigued to write too. And no, it's not right to blog from work or write during work. You have internet connection at home. Write it at home. Don't use the excuse that you don't use the computer at home. It's whether you want to contribute or not. If you don't have internet connection at home, why not compose the post first, save it and then upload it in the office. That only takes a few minutes and will not jeopardize your career. Some are luckier and am able to blog from work but ah well, life is not fair, ain't it? :P

Will we all take the time to continue this blog? Or will its existence cease slowly but surely in the near future?

Self-Improvement

As we grow older, there are times when life suddenly seems so monotonous. Everything seems to revolve around chores, work, obligations and commitments. So much so, that everyday happenings seems to be a routine. A day passes and everything just seems the same. And we go through these daily routines, feeling empty, tired and restless but safe.

Safe because, we know that tomorrow will be the same. Nothing new and unexpected.

Do we still take the time to make changes to ourselves, to make improvements so that we will be a 'better' person when everything is the same?

Do we go the extra mile in our work, in our relationships and perhaps for strangers?

Or do we just go by every passing day, the same person as we were yesterday?

Just a thought to ponder.....

To me, self-improvement is essential.... to do that we need to know how to self-motivate.(and probably a push from friends around us) Improve for yourselves and not for acknowledgement of others.

It may just be the hardest thing you will ever need to do. But eventually, wonderful things would unfold, especially when you least expect it to be.

My resolution of the year :
To learn something new everyday, be it small or significant. Probably jot down in a journal or diary. Anyone want to join me???

SMART ALEC

Let me introduce a new vocabulary which I’ve learned over the past 3 years in my current workplace.

*drum rolls*

PHARMIST!!!!

Somehow there are just a group of people who thinks that the person dispensing medication in a pharmacy is called a 'PHARMIST'.

Been called ‘PHARMIST’ a lot lately.

Somehow it’s really getting on my nerves when someone calls me that although it was a good laugh when I 1st heard it.

So I’ve made up my mind to correct the next person who calls me a pharmist…

Oh for goodness sake!! I don’t want to be known as a pharmist.

This is just a presumption how this word came about:

Person dealing with chemical stuff : chemist
Person dispensing in a pharmacy : pharmist

What do you reckon? Guess there are many smart-alecs in the world huh….

*winks*

So as a warning… no one calls me PHARMIST k??

BIRTHDAYS !!!!!

BIRTHDAY shoutouts to both DAISYBOO & PPJAY !!!!

A new year has come... and the number 3 is coming nearer too.....

Time for new resolutions and time for reflections.

Have we gone wiser in a year? What have we learn in the past year...

Will turning the BIG 3-0 make any differences?

Life as it is are made out of different phases...

Being Children, teenagers, young adults, working adults, wives and now mothers....

I guess all of us are at different phases of our lives ... and yet being the same age.

Shows how different our paths and visions are...

Makes me wonder how would it be in 10 years to come...

From cuppa to nadda :P

Why the title?

Cos Momo*Chin and Artsy*T were supposed to go out for a cuppa about an hour ago, just because. But they were both enjoying time at home and are too lazy to move their butt out of its surrounding coziness and so hence the title :P

Maybe we've both been out of the house too much, even on our off days that we appreciate the time at home and are reluctant to get out. hehe... Well, I've got hot chocolate and marshmallows in my crib now Momo*chin, so can save on Starbucks. Just head on to my crib. Bring finger food... HAHA..

Oh, I met PpJay and her hubby earlier this morning in IKEA! Lovely suprise :) I saw her from the escalator and thought she saw me but she didn't (!) so I jumped up from behind her... hehe... scared PpJay a little :P She only has eyes for her hubby, that's why she couldn't see me.. haha. Had lunch with them too and managed to catch up a bit :) Thank God there was not that many people in IKEA's restaurant today (or maybe we are a bit early..not sure).

Mr. PpJay was quite the joker... Mr. Artsy told her about this show called IP MAN and pronounced it I-P MAN. So, innocently Artsy*T having no idea what this show is all about went, "you guys going to watch I-P Man?''

To which Mr. PpJay said, "you think Internet Protocal Man, meh? It's Ip Man."

It was hilarious. Ip Man is the name of Bruce Lee's shi fu (teacher). All the time, I had no idea what this movie was about and thought it was I-P man...HAHAHAHAHAHA. Well, at least I provided laughter. For those of you who lived in the crevices of a cave the last 30 years or so and do not know who the heck is Bruce Lee, you can click here.

-_-"

Anywho, just a short update. Not much creative juice on what to write and I guess this is not the most interesting read.. :P Will be back after charging the brain... heh.

TWILIGHT

Went for a movie with sis n ES last week. And from the title, you can guess what we watched.

Oh GOD!!!!

What can I SAY!!! AWESOME !!!

It’s like the greatest love story ever.

The show first caught my attention when I was watching ‘E’ on TV. The buzz surrounding this show was unbelievable. Thus the eagerness to watch the show…

Reaction after watching :

*dreamy eyes……*

EDWARD CULLEN !!! I’m so so so enticed by HIM.

His expressions and actions… arghh…. His fascination of Bella!!! It’s mind-blowing.

I think Robert Pattison actually did a fantastic job in being Edward. The range of emotions he showed… from being really funny to an intense and furious man. However, what struck me the most was his ability to portray Edward’s vulnerability. Aw…. It was so sweet. ‘I don’t think I have the strength in me to stay away from you…’ How sweet can you be…. He just melts you.

It’s just not Robert Pattison alone, but I think all the actors & actresses did a fabulous job. The emotion and intensity of each characters and the story translated to the screen successfully.

The only disappointing thing was, THE KISSING SCENE between Edward and Bella!!!! I was already at the edge of my seat, gripping the seat handle because of the severe intensity and passion when it was censored. It sucked!! Such a crucial part!!! How could they…. * sigh *….

Oh… and the sparkling body. (not going to elaborate…but those who watched the film would know.. found it a little ridiculous though…)

All in all it’s not your typical action-packed vampire movie, and it’s not the typical happy-ending love story either… it’s just something different.

Can’t wait to read the book… I’m going to get it. I’m certain that the book would be loads better, providing the depth of the story that only the book Twilight can give..

*trembling in excitement*

Just the thought of being able to understand each character in the perspective and insight in which the author originally meant it to be…. Argh…. Can’t wait…

Will be waiting for their sequels, and without a doubt, I would get better and better…

p/s : Artsy, I think u’ll like it!! Not sure bout the others though.
