Happy 37th Chicken Birthday Darling!!
And for a start, Here are 2 Virtual Cookie Monster Cakes for you.....

Another to my Huggy Selection..

Let me introduce to you, this is my newest addition to my nightly huggies....

Her name is, Chockie aka Choky.... Chockie hails from Shasha & Company and has been lovingly and carefully chosen by my partner, as a surprise gift to me last night.

She was presented to me in a nicely wrapped Shasha's paper bag and shed from the cooling night breeze by light paper.

As you all know, I've got a smelly to hug to sleep. And just the other day, I bought a Baby Winne bolster for myself (to cheer myself up). Well, I've been hugging them both to bed, including my big bolster to sleep every night. And now that I've got Chockie, she's the newest addition to my huggy family of sleep!

I've warned my partner that I've more Shasha bear orders coming up...!!

Hmmm... Let me go into their website now at, "http://www.sashabears.com"

An Approval...

As you can see, I have received a letter from DBS Bank, approving my Renovation Loan.

I wished that I could put a smile on my face. But I couldn't. When I received the call from a Jenny (DBS) at 1321 hrs on Wednesday, 23rd August 2006, I was really very happy. But I couldn't show my happiness and excitement because I having a bad day.

Nevertheless, I'm really really happy that I've gotten approval for the loan. And I'm now able to start my renovation works soon. I don't want to waste more $ on payment for the rental to this current 5-room that I'm staying in.

Thank you, DBS!!

Out you go, bloodly darned OCBC............................!!

(my apologies to whoever is working for OCBC & / or has an account with OCBC)

:)

Here There or Where...

I was very alright for the most part of the day. Till around the late afternoon. Mummy called to say that I get my own dinner. I had planned to head over to Raffles City to take a walk and smell the flowers - since there won't be anyone at home till after dinner hours.

My Glendan had to meet up with a supplier together with her aunt for dinner. Mummy's at Lucky Plaza with the women on the 4th floor, chatting and laughing. Probably her boyfriend would be there later too - hence no dinner.

I then decided that it would be a good time for me to have some quiet hours to myself, but, to my dismay, I was asked by my boss to stay back. No, it's not for offical purposes. It's for one of his many recent investment meetings - signing of a Deed. 1 Deed. 2 signing parties.

I had to make some minor amendments to the Deed prepared by his wife, which was fine by me. And I also had to wait a little for one of the parties (a lady) to arrive.

I played tea / coffee lady, making a cuppa coffee (and then having to hear a low IQ compliment of, "This is the best coffee that I've ever tasted in a law firm..") I was like, Gosh!! Does Jordan have to say this? It's ridiculous and it's utterly tastless. It sounds sooo insulting. It's so fake. Yet.... Yet.... Yet I cannot complain.

Just done another set of amendments.

All these, I reckon, are fine by me on other normal days. Why on This chosen day? This day, Today, The day whereby I would like to have some quiet hours to myself. It's infuriating.

And I won't be able to claim for any Overtime Claim for this as this is his personal matter. So I'm doing him a favour.

I'm hungry, I'm frustrated, I'm irritated....

What else??!!??

Pretty Ones...

I just bought myself 3 stalks of white orchids. I meant to want to brighten up my days and prolong my life on earth.

I have been wanting to buy a stalk or two every week and place them in the office, on my desk. But I'd usually only receive bouquets from friends and suitors who would try to cheer me up for various reasons - some would be sent for the purpose of thanking me for being there for them when they needed a listening ear or simply, just for the company (well, I had to forgo some sleep and drink myself almost silly with Bombay Shappire on a couple of occasions... and these would be called Bombay nights....)

The initial vase that I have in the office was brought home coz I had thought of resigning. (didn't want to carry too much stuff on my last day of work / as & when I am being dropped a bomb..) So, after thinking for months, I've finally gotten another "vase" - that comes in the form of a coke bottle. My partner bought 4 bottles of it from Seng Shiong supermarket 4 weekends ago (4th from left...) and guess what?? They cost only S$0.45 per bottle!!


And after having the coke lying in the office for a week, I've finally decided to spruce things up a little, I bought 3 stalks of white orchids. So, aren't they pretty??

Organic & More..

Thank you Kris for the lovely dinner you gave Glen & me last Friday. I enjoyed the Avocado Mango Salad, "malay mee goreng" and the Avocado Moouse.

Well, unlike my partner, avocado is not my favourite. Yet, I still had a quarter of it... It's very very smooth and creamy that comes with gula melaka. And if not for the gula melaka, I wouldn't have gone for a third mouth of it. :) My partner had only 1 mouth of it coz she doesn't like it. Quote: "I love Avodado's. But in its original form. Any other form, I don't like." Hahaha.................

I loved Kris company for we haven't met for a while. Either he's busy during the weekends, or when he's home late during the weekdays, he's too exhausted to talk, and would head straight to his comfy bed. Ooohhh.. I miss you, Kris!!!

After we had placed our orders, I waited and waited for the right moment to give the 3rd surprise to Glendan. She was busy talking and talking to Kris that I had a little tiny weeny difficulty in trying to present the gift to her. Till...................................

The arrival of the avocado mango salad and korean brown rice set. She immediately wipped out her camera from her bag and was busy taking the equipment out of its case when I nicely and gently placed the little round wrapped box on the table, in front of her. She looked at me, Silly-Eyed.. I just smiled. Not much words needed to be spoken and she then continued to busy herself with the photo-shoot of organic food galore.

She asked me after a while what was that for. Told her it's her month mah. So, she ought to be pampered with gifts.

She took pictures of it immediately after she has finished her brown rice....

She said what is she gonna give me for my birthday? Told her that she's got another 2 months plus to think about it. Surprise me, darling.. ;P

Okay... I'll stop here for now and leave the rest to her... Check her blog, soon..............................................

Time-Off...

Dear Readers,

I sincerely and wholeheartedly apologise for my lack of entertainment in recent weeks.

Reason being, I've lost connection to the cyber world of msn chats, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, blogger.com, fridae.com and many many more....

The IT department in the office that I'm currently in has blocked my access (the only one in the ligitation department besides the Criminal and Litigation Lawyers and EFS work station...), yet again (which means - I've broken the DLPa Vini Code for internet access thrice.... yes, thrice..). And this time, I'm sad to reveal that it's quite unlikely for me to break the code this fourth time for, firstly, I'm not a IT person person & secondly, I've tried all ways possible (in my very limited vocabulary) and still I'm unsuccessful.

Therefore, it is not as accessible for me to login to such sites as freely as I would want.

Whenever I can spare the little time off my desk in search of either my boss' or the EFS terminal, I would try my very best to have some form of input into my diaries. And as you all would have noticed, I've not been injecting my little humour into my write-ups. I've to chopp chopp - type, scan (with my tiny hidden double-eyelid eyes), edit, save and post my write-up entries quickly and doubly fast. Or, I'll have to type at my desk, save it in a local drive, go to either one of the above terminals, logon to whatever it is, locate and open up the saved document in Microsoft Word, copy & paste onto the desired space, change the font and / or clour, save it and finally, post it.... Urgghhhhh... It's irritating.............................

Sigh....

It's really stupid.. And may I repeat, it's REALLY STUPID to block off the access of internet for the litigation department because there are searches to be done, read-ups on the Practice Directions and other law related matters, booking of interview dates and timeslots for prison visits, blah blah blah, and I'm only talking about the offical stuff that we got to do.....

STUPID & RIDICULOUS

So my dearies... Please be patient with me and I'll try my best to update on my write-ups - happy, sad, funny, angry, teary, touching, romantic, lovely, lonely, soonest possible.

Till then............................

Love,

Priscus

Because of You...

Because of you

I hurt lesser

I cry lesser

I smile a real smile

I know I'll be alright

Because of you

I am happy

I can believe again

I can be more me

There's lesser pain

Because of you

Of getting heartbroken

I'm no longer afraid

I don’t feel used

Or feel betrayed

Because of you

I can live my life

I can go back to

Before all the pain

I thought I wouldn't get through

Because of you

I know what love is

And the feelings you get

How amazing it is

All because of you

The Unsuspected...

Straight from the Heart. Right from the Heart.

This is my surprise gift to my partner. A cross pendant and a chain.

2 separate items especially choosen for her.

It was a quickie buy. Yet it was choosen and especially transferred from another outlet.

I've been thinking about this gift for almost 4 months now. And I've finally gotten it for her. It's not the $ that matters nor the brand. It's not even the thought that counts. Or, the thought that doesn't count. It's something more. Much much more.

It took alot of courage from me to get it for her. I pondered and I wondered. I didn't want to intrude. I didn't want to ask. I didn't want to say. I had thought it would happen naturally. But well...... Yet I know, somehow, I had to do it. And finally, that, I did....

I gave her hints via a self-composed poem last evening. It was fun having to think of it in like 5 mins while I was in the train to meet her at CCK Station.

She obviously didn't get my hint for she replied, "Li Gong Si Mi? Sex Toy, is it?"

Hahaha... Soo Funny!! I was smiling to myself..

Here's my Poem for her:-

Its simple and shiny

Its normal and uncomplicating

Its sleek and common

Nothing fantastic, nothing amazing

Yet its the chosen one

With deepest thoughts and feelings,

it is yours if you will

It took me a while to wonder how should I present it to her. It's a surprise. It's not meant to be a Birhtday gift (okie guys.. Her BIRTHDAY is coming.........). But, she was still so blur blur loh.... Hahaa... Asked her to take my wallet out from my bag. And she really did!! Aiyo.... The box was sitting nicely wrapped up in my bag.. Yet she didn't see the gift in my bag and headed straight for my wallet. And then, the poem also didn't ring a ding dong bell to her brain thereafter. Seeeeee... My Prince can be so SILLY & BLUR... I kept laughing and laughing and laughing at her.. Hehehee..

Well, I am happy that she's wearing it now. It looks nice. Simple and Shiny. A normal and uncomplicating cross pendant, with a sleek and common design. It is definately nothing fantastic and nothing amazing. A chosen one amongst the hundreds of designs I've already seen and short-listed. Thinking day and night, night and day, putting all my feelings in thinking, it is hers to keep if she is willing.

Okay, I'll leave the rest of the print to my partner now. Or else, there's nothing for her to say anymore, yah.. So, ladies and gentlemen, please proceed to her blog at, you know where la...

Do you??

Do you let your mind rule your heart?? OR Do you let your heart rule your mind??

I am not doubtful, but I would let my heart rule my mind. For there would not be a relationship if feelings of the heart doesn't exist. We feel by touch, by senses, by heart. The mind doesn't feel, it thinks.

Hence, to me, my heart, my feelings will play an important part. I have thought, I have considered. Yet my heart still tells me so. "To Follow Your Heart". And that is how I would either be hurt or be happy. Its silly sometimes. But that's how I am. Heart over mind, instead of mind over heart (the usual saying would go, "Mind Over Matter"...)

It can bring one into a turmoil. It's neither here nor there. I'll try my best to open up and open up the best that I can. As for now, I am glad to be able to open my heart to you.

Words & Silence

A thousand words couldn't explain how deep I feel

A thousand words couldn't express my thoughts

A thousand words couldn't convey my feelings

Yet, these 3 thousand words could be shown through my eyes

I do have my times of silence and shyness

Yet, it is through my eyes that I will sincerely say,

I Love You, Baby...

Oops! Are you a faller??

Let me tell you all something funny that happened to me this morning on my way to work.

I was walking up a flight of stairs to catch the train heading to Pasir Ris from Boon Lay this morning. When all of a sudden, I tripped and FELLLLL….. Prack!

And guess what shoes I was wearing. I was in Timberlands and not heels. Glenda Baby said that I was lucky I wasn't in heels, or else, my fall would be worse. Hmmm.... But, being in Timberlands also can fall leh.. TERRIBLE!! It's my stroke of luck for the 7th month, I suppose...

I hurt my shin and its now bruised. I hurt my 3rd finger – no bruise but a little painful. I hurt my cheekbone – no bruise but a little painful. I knocked my upper lip but thankfully, no cuts or bruise.

Luckily my Glenda Baby was there to pick me up from my fall. She didn’t laugh at me. But asked me where was it that hurts.

I didn't see anyone laughing at me for we both got into the train before the rest of the others who were behind us did. And that, saved me from some embarrassment.

Well, lucky she didn’t laugh at me. Or else, I would have jabbed her in her tumm tumm!! Hahaa… Don’t forget, I was trained in Tae Kwon Do before, you know…..??

Hmmm... I'm feeling kinda weird. Somehow, this particular joint is painful when I walk now. I wonder if it's due to my morning fall...... Shall keep in observation till further notice.

It's Rightfully Mine...

This is yet another late entry to post.

Well, I'm finally gotten the Ownership to my Bedok flat, with effect from 1 August 2006.

Completion was scheduled and done on the 31st July 2006. And I was handed the original ownership letter from HDB through my lawyers on Friday afternoon. It bore the words "Sole-Owner"....

It is a wonderful feeling to be able to have a permanant roof over my head again. And I'm glad that 1 part of this whole house thingy is complete.

Next up:- obtaining a successful Renovation Loan from the bank.

I was rejected for a Renovation Loan from one of the Banks here. I cried and cried and cried. Why did they have to reject my application? No reason(s) were given nor stated. The letter simply bore these words....

" We thank you for your interest in our facility.

The bank had throuroughly assessed the application based on our credit evaluation criteria and wish to inform you that it is uncussessful. We apologise that we are unable to disclose the reason(s) for the unsuccessful applciation as the criterion is confidential to the Bank.

We hope that we can of service to you again.

Yours faithfully

Credit Review Manager

Consumer Financial Services"

But, I'll try it again. I'll be sending in my application soon. Why the delay? I haven't had the right time in meeting up with my contractor to get the original quotation.

I hope this next house hurdle would be smooth.....

Wish me luck, my friends......

Just for you...

Do I love you, do I?
Do I miss you, do I?
Yes I do, Yes I do..

Do I want you, do I?
Or do I need you, do I?
Yes, I do, Yes I do..

Can you feel my love?
Can you feel my heartbeats?
Can you see my smiles?
Can you see my tears?
Yes, you do, Yes, you do,
Yes, you do, Yes, you do..

With each passing day,
I could find myself
Loving you more, Missing you more.

Would you hold my hand?
And make them clap?
I need you now, much stronger than before

Hold my hand and lead me on
Hold my hand and walk with me
Hold my hand and make them clap
Hold me close and make us strong

Yes, it is you.. You know its you..
My baby, it is you…
