awakened!

suddenly, the rained poured. and i lost my inspiration and mood to work. came back to work on a script for a video presentation this sunday during the singapore fashion week - singapore fashion designers contest at raffles city. but looking at the huge raindrops falling on the tree outside my window, i feel so lazy. decided to take a break and check out my friends' blogs. i reckon everyone has been busy lately. not much updates posted in the past day. must be the WORK monster consuming everyone. guess i'll just blog since i have not done so in a while. let me shed some light on my previous entry.



i watched "the notebook" with jon at plaza sing on monday. nicholas sparks is truly a brilliant writer. although the relationship between the old man and the old lady suffering from dementia was expected, the storyline was still intriguing and kept me pinning to know the ending. towards the end, when the old lady finally remembered her husband, who patiently reads to her every day from the notebook that tells their love story, it was so painful to hear that every time she gathers her past memories, they don't last for more than 5 minutes. expectedly, she loses her memory again after a couple of minutes and throws herself into a fit. as her husband watched the nurses restrain her, tears filled his eyes and mine as well. such is the love he had for her. being there for her without knowing if she will ever remember him. and such was the love that took them away together.

what would become of me when i grow old? i pray that i will age gracefully. being able to control my mind and continue to do the work of God. the last thing i want is to be a burden to the people around me. i pray that God will perserve my memory and my life for His glory.

after the show, jon and i decided to grab a quick bite from the foodcourt. that was when we spotted randall tan and rachel lee (with two other artistes/DJs). quickly messaged vic, since she likes randall. wanted to take a shot of him for her, but i was a tad too far. (refer to snapshot below.) after two messages to vic, that was when i realised i lost something! i shall not elaborate any further here on what it is. only a selected few knows. i quickly searched my bag, my notebook bag, my pockets.. nothing! ran back to the toilet, where i was before the foodcourt.. nothing! i was devastated! cried! couldn't finish my dinner. cried somemore. thankfully, jon was so understanding. he kept comforting me constantly. giving my hugs to calm me down, and his shoulder for me to wet. his shoulder has this special effect, which makes me sob my heart out and then calm down just as quickly.

with a heavy heart, we went home. i felt so down the entire night. but at the same time, i feel bad if i embarrassed jon by crying in the foodcourt. some people were looking at us like something was really wrong with us. anyway, i have gotten over the matter a little more. learning to take things easy now. as jon said, "things are material. they will never last. it is the people around us who are more important. it is about how we treasure them."

to all those who have shown me concern in the past two days either by leaving me an encouragement note in my comments box, or dropping me a "be happy" message on msn, thanks for all your love! it is definitely heartwarming to know that there are people out there who care about the little things that happen to me. even though you have no idea what is going on.

just a side note, i am currently watching the olympic's men's backstroke race on tv.. and i start to wonder why some of those men don't have armpit hair. especially the race winner, this american who proudly punched his fist in the air many times upon learning that he won the race and beat the olympic record. *ponders* heck!

snapshots taken over the past few days. enjoy. back to work.
