Friday the Thirteen

Friday the Thirteen came and left. Nothing unlucky happened but not exactly the best day. It's a sad day =(

Had fun at badminton today...after not playing for two weeks, it was really enjoying and very shiok to play again! The badminton group is very big today....met 3 new frens today. 2 of them are oniisan's UBS colleagues. Another is a guy that works in AIA too....apparently for 6 months but i have not seen before. But what's new...AIA so big can't possibly know everyone, plus i'm not exactly the sociable type...heeheee




The lunch group today must be one of the biggest ever...but i missed it as i went to the airport to send off my two darlings...Alison and Brina...feel bad that i din spend much time with them this time that they are here. Know that they are looking forward to meeting up...but i was told they are coming only at the last minute and i hv meetings all planned already!!! Mark is too bo chap to rem dates!!! Now bugging Mark to drive up to KL one of these wkends...at least in KL it is easier to meet them..once they go back to HK it will be harder to catch up.

Prague trip seems more or less confirm..keeping my fingers crossed. If all goes well, will be leaving 23 Aug and be back on 29 Aug....idiot Ceddy said that will be a Maddy-free wk...hahaaa...Joyce reminded me that I might miss the birth of Porky....feeling torn again =(

Oniisan told me something very meaningful today:

快乐的人不是命运已注定谁比较幸运，也没有每一天都充满快乐，但他们都学会了把忧愁缩小，把快乐放大！

Maddy got to learn not to manifest problems or troubles....take it a bit at a time and stay happy!

Gone are the stitches!!!

removed my stitches today!!! It was a painless process but i was too coward to look at the nurse removing them...was literally covering my eyes with my other hand and repeatedly telling the nurse that i'm scare of the pain....hahaha such a coward! now that it is over, kinda regretted not looking at the nurse doing the work...anyway its over and an experience to remember. Took a picture of it so that i can laugh at myself many years down the road.




ugly hor...but i can live with a scar =)

it's going to rain...

it's going to rain heavily tonight...thank goodness and hopefully the rain will break the dry spell..makes it cooler later. Hv to thank Mark for the rain as he washed his car today...and it always rains after he has washed his car...heeheee =P

eventful wkend...watched Dim Sum Dollies with my gal friend Samantha on Sat. wasn't really looking forward to it realli but it turned out to be quite good. very funnie with all the subtle jokes about things that r happening locally as well as overseas...not bad for local musical....will definitely look out for their nxt production.

One more happy thingy...managed to get my Hacken Lee concert tickets!!! now only need to book the coach and hotel and i will be off to Genting to watch him in action....looking forward to it =)

however, the concert falls on 28 July and i did tell oniisan that i will support him at his badminton tournament...oops...sorrie oniisan! =(

had a jc gathering today to celebrate Francis birthday and also farewell for Zhicheng who is going to work in Dubai. feels sad that ZC is leaving as not sure when he will be back to singapore but happy that he is finally able to do what he like and not be stuck in a job that he absolutely hated. shall not dwell more on it as reminds me of how dreadful it will be if oniisan gets posted overseas....sigh

Finally gotten my vacumn cleaner for the house...latest addition to my home...looks ugly but supposed to be really good at killing dust mites...heeheee....going to try it out...all the dust mites better watch out!!! stay away from my shoes!!!!

Sometimes to love means to let go...

as we grow older and realise that not everything will go according to our wishes...it is indeed very true that to love doesn't necessarily mean to hold on...sometimes it means letting go.

boring weekend is coming to an end...not that i feel any better that tomorrow is the start of another terrible work week. feeling monday blues already...

less than a week and i'm already losing my appetite from eating the same type of food...sigh...no seafood, no black stuff, no duck, no goose and no EGGGGG!!!! arrrrghhhh...

plenty of sleep though as mark says that will help my wound to recover faster...seems to be working. better get well soon...if not will be missing out on lots of fun...not supposed to stay out in the sun too long and sweat too much too. hopefully one week later the wound would hv healed considerably well enough for me to get more active.

finally see some progress with my organ lesson.....all thanks to Joyce! Learned how to play Clementine today...mark helped a little with the proper fingering etc etc etc...sounded him out on the piano again and he dun seems to hv much objections...heehee...but then again silence doesn't always mean consent =P

anyway its great to play Clementine on my own...an extremely simple piece of music but somehow kind of touched me a bit.

Another new addition to my home....the microwave that I have been eyeing!! Nxt week will be fun as i experience some cooking with my new microwave...

my thots are very scattered today...a bit preoccupied..sigh...time will heal everything and anything...be patient Maddy

la la la la......la la.....Mark is back!!!

Was telling Mark about my recent emotional discovery about changes and he told me this:

As a friend, we can choose to tell our friend, especially one who is dearly close to us that we notice a change in them, but we have no right to be judgemental and decide whether the change is good or not good. It is up to this friend to decide for himself whether the change is good or not.

Well...not that i feel any better about my friend changing but what Mark said is very very true. I shall always bear that in mind. I guess everyone of us is changing everyday...even myself. By being so emotional about it does not help the relationship, it will only push friends apart eventually. However, whether it is good or bad, I will have to trust that the true bond will never change and if I remain supportive and true to the friendship, true bond shall never break.

haiz...that's what ohana is all about right....no one gets left behind or forgotten.

Maddy Maddy....be sure to remember that all the time.

Sorry Kai Hon.
