There have been some major changes in my life recently.  Cat has left us and not only did I lose a great working partner and colleague, I lost a confidante, a good friend and we went through some of the toughest times together only to come out victorious but she finally decided that advertising was more of her kind of thing so yeah. I'll definitely miss her but I wish her all the best! Love love~ 

I've also thought some things through and I definitely feel better so yeah.

Went back to Malaysia over the weekend last week for Qing Ming and I'm ashamed to say this but I was seriously dreading it. Hey if you haven't been back in more than 10 years and you probably won't recognize any of your cousins if you saw them on the streets, with the fear of being ostracized and to top it all, your mode of transport was that of a bone shaker, you tell me will you dread it not? 

So anyway, woke up at like freaking 5.30am (Note: I went to bed at about 2am cause I went to watch 'The Pillowman" the previous night and I would have enjoyed it more if I weren't so bloody shagged, and no one in the right mind would wake up at freaking 5.30 in the morning on a Saturday.) and dragged my dead body to Tanjong Pagar Station to catch the supposedly 7.30am train which, was delayed so it departed at 8.40am instead and took an hour to get from Tanjong Pagar Station to Woodlands Checkpoint (considering Singapore is soooo small, an hour is... speechless) and another 6 more horrid hours before reaching Tampin Station. BUT! We're still not there yet. Cabbed for another half an hour before we finally finally finally reach my grandmother's house. 

And after not being back for such a long time, it's surprising to see that nothing has changed. Although it's damn kampong, it has a coolness and familiarity to it lah..

there's actually a sun roof!

And here's the classic.. THE WATER COMES FROM A FREAKING WELL!!!!


So there you have it. Although more ancient that what I know, this was where my dad grew up in and you probably don't get to experience these kind of stuff in Singapore.. The only thing that I hated was the size of the lizards there. They might as well be little komodo dragons. The lizards there are huge to the extent that it is seriously frightening. Thank god Singaporean lizards are not that big if not I think I'll die from the constant fear of them falling from their spots high up on that wall, and far away from me.

Aside from that, went to Mimolette with the office people, (there were like 20 of us) and had a good time laughing, playing stupid games and drinking... Takes your mind off some stuff so it's good lah. 

Okie this is damn abrupt but till then~
