As promised (or cautioned, depending on how one looks at it), I am slowly moving away from this space. So, before you send me a nasty note demanding why it’s been rather ‘dead’ here, go to my new home to check for new posts, kay?

Moving House
After much dillay-dallying, I finally got down to *seriously* check out another new home for my posts.
.
I’ve never liked Blogspot and Friendster is getting more and more farked up these days. Am getting complaints on almost a daily basis now from friends and readers who complain that their comments ‘disappear’ after they submitted them. Some even tried a few times just to post ONE comment. All in vain.
.
So sorry lah, folks. I am just as annoyed with FS and promise to find time to familiarise myself with the new site soon, k?
.
Here it is.
.
P/S - I’m still fiddling around with the settings, pix, links and what-have-you’s. So you’ll see things being moved around until I am finally liking what I am seeing, ya?
.
Definitely WIP.

New Life
As her eager hands reached for her new virtual lifeline, she repeatedly reminded herself not to move too quickly. Or let the excitement in her eyes betray her. As much as she is happy to finally put an end to the 10-day abstinence, she didn’t want to appear too desperate.
.
It was the most difficult 10 days of her life. For at least the past decade, she’d always had the luxury (yes, it’s considered a ‘luxury’ when one has been deprived for more than 240 hours!) of accessing the virtual world at her own convenience. Anytime, anywhere.
.
When it was gone, she felt like her lifesupport was rudely yanked off and for the first few days, something as basic as breathing was a huge struggle. But as with most things in Life, we make do with what we can get. So, she bravely and not-so-patiently waited. And waited. The days wore on painfully.
.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she was able to let her fingers dance freely again. Without worrying about borrowed time. Or space. The freedom to dance to her own beat, at her own pace, with whomever she pleases - was hers once again.
.
*SMILE*
.
She … is back.

Happy Chinese V-Day
Impatiently, I chased the frustrations from my overactive mind.
Wishfully, I thought about OUR dream.
Hopefully, it will be fulfilled (it’s really not too much to ask for)
Lovingly, you held my hand in yours as we willed with our hearts.
Happily, I count the diamonds in our sky.
.
Soon enough. Our dreams will be fulfilled. Soon enough.

Frustration
*geram*
*pek-chek*
*pull hair*
.
I know and expect things to be different since leaving one realm and entering a new one but does things have to move THIS slow????
.
Seriously, sitting around twiddling fingers in a fishbowl for an entire week can really drive a person mad. And there is so much patience one can have before one loses it. Y’know?
.
On a happier note, some fun and exciting times are in the books for the coming few weekends. One pending decision that we can’t decide on : V-day in KL or Singapore???
.
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
.
P/S - Thx for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th surprise b’day cakes, folks. Love ’em all and love y’all to bits! 
I’ve finally had the chance to upload the pix from the surprise birthday party. Go here to view them.
.
Not many of them coz all were too busy enjoying the cake, the food, the company and the fun of watching the birthday gal jump outta her skin.
.
I know I’ve hugged and thanked all of you for putting the party together but I’d like to reiterate the fact that I am truly lucky to have wonderful friends like you all. One really couldn’t ask for more.
.
Come to think of it, Apek tried the same trick on Drey 2 years ago and I should’ve known better than to fall for the oldest trick in the book.
.
And the next time Sweetheart complains about a stomachache, I will always wonder if he’s pulling another fast one on me.

Numbered
It’s official. Friendster blog is farked up.
.
Initially, I thought it was just me. Then I started getting calls from folks complaining that their comments ‘disappeared’ after they clicked the SUBMIT button. I tried the same thing too. Typed some comments on WP’s posts and they all disappeared. No matter how many times I tried. They just disappeared!
.
Was catching up with an old friend yesterday and he told me that it’s high time I move on from Friendster. Reluctantly, I kinda agree with him.
.
So folks, with the many exciting things happening in 2009, I reckon it’s about time for me to finally move on from this blogging space. My posts will slow down in the next week or so….and will eventually die a natural death.
.
I’ll keep you posted on which space I’ve decided to move to (am not really a blogspot fan either).
.
Oh well. Live goes on.

Happy Birthday, Eleen!
“Hi Mom & Dad, thx for bringing me into this world 34 yrs ago. I may not say it much but I really appreciate both of you. Luv, your daughter”
.
Sent the above text to my parents today. Mom called to wish me happy birthday and I think I heard a sniffle in her voice.
.
The FB wishes started first. Then came the texts followed by the calls. Thanks all you wonderful folks! Every year just keeps getting better and better.
.
The only downside is … I broke my zero MC record on Day 2 with my new job. 
Spent the day bed-arrested and popping painkillers. BUT that doesn’t dampen my happy day today. Am adamant to enjoy the day no matter what.
.
And oh, some travel plans are on the horizon. So, the pain will have to go. Soon. Wouldn’t want to hobble around airports with a bad back!

Day 1 - Cultural Shock
Culture shock # 1 : Designated car park right in front of the lobby
Culture shock # 2 : I’m placed in my very own fishbowl (with 3 walls, 1 glass front wall and a door)
Culture shock # 3 : Zero interaction with folks in the same building
Culture shock # 4 : A cleaner comes into my fishbowl to wipe at anything wipeable
.
All of the above were experienced within the first half of my Day 1. The hands on the clock couldn’t move fast enough for lunch time to come around. Cheeky Sweetheart had a good time laughing at my shocked self. Grrrrrr….
.
I must remember to open up my mind and heart. And remember that there is a biiiiggggg, different world out there. And not think that it’s weird working from a goldfish bowl. :\
.
And oh, no laptop for the next 3 days till later this week when I fly down to KL for my official training. WTF?!?!?! That means no access to any laptop unless some kind soul loaned me one (am using Sweetheart’s laptop now to write this).
.
*Chant to self*
It’s all part of the learning process. It’s all part of moving on and up. It’s all part of life. It’s all part of me.
*Repeat the above*

Surprise
Thanks for making me almost pee in my pants, folks! And for the wonderful early surprise birthday party. Will edit the pix and post them to FB when I get my new laptop, k? Love you all to bits.
.
I am such a lucky, lucky person. Yes, indeed I am! :)))))
