sigh..uploading pics onto blogspot drives me nuts. it keeps showing an error sign. grrr.... been a busy 2 weeks and it doesnt seem to be slowing down.
not really in the mood to blog now. just borrowed a new book, Jodi Picoult's "Plain Truth". quite an interesting book. here's the synopsis:
"The discovery of a dead infant in an Amish barn shakes Lancaster County to its core. But the police investigation leads to a more shocking disclosure: circumstantial evidence suggests that a 18 year old Katie Fisher, an unmarried Amish woman believed to be the newborn's mother, took the child's life.
When Ellie Hathaway, a disillusioned big-city attorney, comes to Paradise, Pennsylvania to defend Katie, 2 cultures collide - and, for the first time in her high profile career, Ellie faces a system of justice very different from her own. Delving deep inside the world of those who live "plain", Ellie must find a way to reach Katie on her terms. And as she unravels a tangled murder case, Ellie also looks deep within - to confront her own fears and desires when a man from her past comes back into her life"
So far I've read 100 pages in 2 hrs and it really is very interesting. I love Jodi Picoult books. Those who haven't read her books should really give it a shot.
okok...i wanna go back and read. love it when i can just curl in bed with a good book. tata for now!

watching ghosts whisperer now. i like this show, quite interesting and touching and i'm quite embarrassed to say i cry almost episode. almost meaning i don't cry when i don't manage to catch it. hahaha....
its ten-ish now and technically i'm supposed to be at the airport saying goodbye to eugene. my dear eugene kor-kor is leaving for switzerland to study hotel management. how cool is dat? switzerland leh...brings to mind snow-capped mountains, cheese and blue eyed blondes. i wanna go too! can someone pls sponsor my air ticket?
anyway due to my nua-ness and lack of support from mr poo, i am now at hm, comfortably sitting on my chair typing away, turning my head every few mins to the tv. i admit i have become spoilt. I no longer want to take public transport unneccessarily (which translates into only public transport for commuting to work and church). Anywhere else I wanna go, either mr poo fetches me or I jus do my part at contributing to the taxi uncle's income. this week has been taxi almost everywhere, which brings me to one of my biggest grouses.
TAXIS!!
I hate cabs that put the "on call" sign when they obviously are just cruising around waiting to be booked. why? just to earn a measly few bucks and in the end earn the hatred of the general public. Just did a quick check on comfort delgro. they have 15,600 taxis. just comfort delgro alone, not counting the other cab companies. so i estimate that there are 25,000 taxis in singapore. 25,000 taxis. twenty-five thousand. then how come there are no cabs when ppl need them???grrrr....
but Daddy has been good to me. When the taxis eventually come, they tend to be merc cabs and all my anger and fustration will ease by alittle as i slouch back into the deep comfy leather seats and rest my aching legs.
This week has been a long week. mentally and physically tiring. after my client meeting on tuesday, the to-do list seems to be never ending. i predict another tiring week next week. oh well..i shall take things as they come. my strength is from the Lord and He shall give me the grace, the strength and wisdom to carry me thru.
Shalom!

Welcome to my first post!
After much fiddling with the blogskin (the right column was missing at first), my blogskin looks the way I want it to be. Well..with the exception of the tag board which makes the right column alightment heywire. But nevermind, I can live with that. I'm sure some nice prince/princess will help me with it.
Been wanting to blog for very long but the determination was never strong enough. So after much pondering, I decided that a brand new blog with a brand new blogskin may increase my desire to blog. Anyway since I haven't had the time to meet up with all my beloved friends, this will be a good avenue for friends to have a peek into what's happening in my life.
There has been so much to blog about. This might be a very very long entry. So you've been warned.
Well, the very first thing I want to blog about is what happened on Sunday! As NCC ppl would know, this Sunday was Miracle Sunday and this hasn't occurred for quite some time (as in Pastor asking ppl to step out for to the front for healing). the thing is, this particular sunday, Mr poo wasn't serving (for once) and we decided to go late for service and just sit on the floor. But second service was SO full, there wasn't even space to sit on the floor in the auditorium. Isn't it amazing the number of people that come to hear God's word? Anyway we proceeded to sit at the nursery foyer with all the cute little babies and toddlers running around. So when Pastor asked the people to step out, this was what happened.
Mr poo: Eh...lets go!
Me: huh? Go where?
Mr poo: Go for healing la
Me: For wat?
Mr poo: Grr...for healing la ("jumps up impatiently")
Me: eh...really ah? ok lor ("getting up at snail record speed")
So while we were in front, waiting for out turn to be prayed over by some church leader, Pastor Josh just appeared beside us out of no where and he wanted to pray for us! Praise God! not that there's anything wrong with been prayed over by church leader, the annointing is still the same, but I've never been prayed over by a Pastor before. So it was really cool! Anyway, Pastor prayed, we believed and I'm healed! healed for what i will let u guys know when it is confirmed. but amen! I believe that Jesus HAS healed me and I will not believe in lying symptoms. =)
So that's my cool cool thing that happend on Sunday. Great way to start the week. Daddy has been good to me cos this week is a stressful week for me. Monday morning presentation, tues client meeting and dinner, wed reports have to be sent out, thurs go for zan's gown fitting, fri send eugene gor gor off, sat bbq and sunday celebrate me and Mr poo's second anniversary.
I must blog about my Tuesday. Spent the whole day at the client's office doing a planning and review session and it was quite an eye opener in the sense that I've never really attended such a session before and plus all the big big client bosses were there. Before going for the session, I thought I would just quietly sit thru the session and be bored out of my mind. But Praise God, not only did I manage to give my opinions (and not look like a flower vase), I also didn't feel bored at all! In fact, it was interesting to hear ppl talk about trying to solve issues that we face at work. The highlight of the day was going to Lei Gardens at Chjimes for dinner! That is one of my fave restaurants. yummy yummy! anybody wants to treat me to dinner?
yawn...think I've posted enought for my first post. time to call Mr poo to see whether choir prac has ended.
