By day, she's a cute, 'lil fluffy doggie sitting in the windowpane that everyone loves to hug & fuss over, and always eager to please.
However when her fur gets ruffled all too often, she transforms into a wild kitty who bites when her tail gets stepped on repetitively...
and goes out for night escapades once in a blue moon.
Blogs occasionally for the bite,
so that she can heal her pain.
I love nature, lavender & pretty blooms..
I love sweet shades of pink & purple,
with a passion for warm brown & red..
I love enjoying my comforting cup of hot cocoa / tea sans sugar / milk tea or coffee / durin' tête-à-tête sessions. =)
So do I love good food, sinfully decadent desserts, chi chi high teas, sippin' wine & cocktails in the evening breeze amid soothing, soulful jazz and sexy, funky disco house music... with good company, of coz...
Admittedly a creature of habit & comfort...
Simple things such as laughin' over a good movie to escape from mundane reality, sweatin' off the negative vibes unglamourously, pickin' up an engagin' read on a lazy day, with my dog restin' at my feet, havin' a warm cup of cocoa on a rainy day indoors, indulgin' excessively in creamy choc pralines & truffles, spendin' time outdoors with nature... lush greenery & aquamarine sea, taking snapshots of things and people for memories, meetin' happy & fluffy doggies...
make me happy too... some good ol' music / retail therapy for the soul helps too... =p
Sittin' atop the hill... watchin' the world pass by... the flutterin' leaves & flowers in the breeze... onward on the journey i continue... smellin' the freshness of the air... awaitin' the next scenery at the next hilltop in anticipation... which will take my breath away... & invigorate my senses...
Contrary to popular belief, I am not the owner of all the free time & luxury in the world. There's such a thing called opportunity cost & choices have to be made. Choices that seem easier to make than to live with in reality. Lookin' at just the surface is just being simply superficial.
In today's world, where boundaries between reality and illusions are blurred, genuine sincerity is hard to find.
There's a thin line between sanity and insanity.
Believes that the world not only exists in black and white, but also in different shades of greys....
Personality Dramatic but a reputable person who works systematically Hardworking, resourceful, talented and confident. Vivacious and popular socially, but may have a tendency to brag insensitively. Outspoken and loves to attract attention. Always take good care of their family and can handle money well.
The Rooster, or Chicken as he is called, is the Don Quixote of the Chinese cycle. The dauntless hero who must look to the earth to survive, he is the most misunderstood and eccentric of all the signs. outwardly, he is the epitome of self-assurance and aggression, but at heart he could be conservative and old-fashioned.
The Rooster-born, especially the men, will be attractive, even dashingly handsome. The princely fowl is radiant and proud of his fine feathers and has an impressive carriage. You don't find any roosters slouching; they strut about with dignity. Even the shyest member of the Rooster family will cut a neat, trim figure and maintain a special bearing wherever he goes.
There are two distinct type of Roosters. The rapid-firing, extremely talkative ones and the deadly solemn observer types with the X-ray vision. both are equally hard to deal with. The Rooster has many outstanding qualities to crow about. He is sharp, neat, precise, organized, decisive, upright, alert, and most direct. He can also be critical to the point of brutality. Don't ever ask him his frank, candid opinion--you may never recover from his comments.
He loves to argue and debate, showing how knowledgeable and smart he is, some- times with little regard of the feelings of others. But when his feathers are ruffled in return, he is insufferable. He isn't cut out to be a diplomat. Situations regarding tact, delicacy and discretion will cramp his style. His way is to go about trying to convert everyone to his way of thinking with a missionary zeal. He shines when he is the center of attraction.
Tremendously imposing as a personality, he could well pursue any career that exposes him to the public eye.
The Rooster likes: Hard works, Fresh Air, Neat but Casual, Challenges, Nature and Control.
The Rooster dislikes: Laziness, Weakness, Technology, Illness, Practical Jokes and politics.
Compatible Animals: Dragon, Snake, Ox

Love - Roosters are very faithful when it comes to romance. But there is no breakthrough in romance luck this year because of severe mood and emotional disturbance. Thus, be more tolerant and affectionate to your companion. Pave a path of common goal and future. Married couples could go for a rejuvenating vacation.
Wealth - A terrific wealth and colourful year. But it is accompanied by streaks of danger too. Thus, it is clear that ill-gotten wealth has to be avoided.

After over-pondering pessimistically & being heavy hearted for the past few days, I realise that I am kinda back to normal today! I have found back my zest for life & learnin'... gave the heartiest laugh I have had in a while... have thought it through... I'll rather count my gains than losses... I'll just take the bad stuff as lessons to be more careful with my choices in life... 我已经把失去的当成了一种收获... I'm done with thinking for extremely egocentric types who are only absorbed in their own world. It's high time I think for myself.
I have to keep remindin' myself of my achilles' heel... Everything happens for a reason, and it most probably happens for a good reason, no matter how frustrated I feel sometimes... sadly, u took my smile away...
I guess it's important for me to focus now on what really matters, or in other ways, what is really worth my time and effort... coz sometimes it's just ain't worth it (something I've been told a lot by my closest frens... seriously, I don't give a damn anymore)... there were times when I wanna scream in futility, but can't... wanna rant on... but can't... wanna let go, but hesitated... but now, I realise I truly can move on & smile again.... =)
It's never easy.. but as someone told me recently, pain's part and parcel of life... it's how we handle it that makes the difference... =p

Hmmmz... excerpts from today's horoscopes that ring a bell...
"You will be asking yourself some important emotional & spiritual questions today... Don't let yourself disheartened by a failure, take patience! The last disappointments and disillusionments will be quickly forgotten..."
"Even though this rain... I want to smile again... & see colour on my cheeks again.... Have I lost it?"
Feel ironically lifelessly souless today in the pulsing heartbeat of the city amid the vivid colours & cheer... still reelin' from a spate of unhappiness.... findin' my way through all the pain....
... limpin' my way with fresh blue-black bruises from the visit to the chinese physician & havin' just paid a hefty price tag of over $400 for my own carelessness, my mood just sinked... through the crowd of spontaneous f1 grand prix goers who are all decked out for d occasion...
Maybe all I need for now... is some solitude... and distractions (in the form of donuts, some good ol' satay with f1 on the telly? =p) In all the excitement and drama, my pensive mood lifted off a fair bit... with the help of some good conversation, guess a good nite's sleep's possible after all.... =)
(* thanks to those who have lent me a listening ear & tried to cheer me up... though i may barely know some of u, but it's the tot that really counts... i appreciate it... really. thank u. =))

One Republic ~ Say (All I Need)
Do you know where your heart is? Do you think you can find it? Or did you trade it for something Somewhere better just to have it? Do you know where your love is? Do you think that you lost it? You felt it so strong, but Nothing's turned out how you wanted
Well, bless my soul You're a lonely soul Cause you won't let go Of anything you hold
Well, all I need Is the air I breathe And a place to rest My head
Do you know what your fate is? And are you trying to shake it? You're doing your best and Your best look You're praying that you make it
Well, bless my soul You're a lonely soul Cause you won't let go Of anything you hold
Well, all I need Is the air I breathe And a place to rest My head
I said all I need Is the air I breathe And a place to rest My head
Do you think you can find it? Do you think you can find it? Do you think you can find it? Better than you had it Do you think you can find it? Do you think you can find it? Do you think you can find it? Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)
I said I all I need Is the air I breathe And a place to rest My head
I said all I need Is the air I breathe And a place to rest My head
Whenever the end is Do you think you can see it? Well, until you get there Go on, go ahead and scream it Just say it
It’s a fragile situation It could fall apart at any time And none would be the wiser Except you and I
It seems that we stopped talking like we’re afraid to disagree And after all we’ve been through Can we still be that naive
If my heart isn’t in it, why cant you tell me so If my heart wasn’t in it, I’d have gone long ago If your heart isn’t in it why keep me hanging on Just tell me and I’ll be gone from your life
You treat me like a stranger as if I wasn’t there I waited for a miracle To make you show that you care
If your heart isn’t in it. why can’t you tell me so I can’t go to the limit I have to know
____________________________________________________________ Corrinne May ~ Leaving
There’s a comfort in this darkness, a familiar road, though I know that you, you’re no good for me. You’re a false alibi You hypnotize, and you keep tempting me to throw away eternity.
Time to wake up and shape up ‘cause you’ve got me right under your spell for too long Your promise is empty go dig your claws in somebody else ‘cause it won’t be me
I’m leaving, leaving this path behind don’t need your sympathy I’m leaving, don’t try to change my mind
It’s a new day, a new way Change is never easy I know, but I’m not giving up, no. You see I’m growing, and I’m sowing the seeds of life beyond this shell Gonna be free Break out from this cell
Leaving, leaving this path behind don’t need your sympathy I’m leaving, don’t try to change my mind I’m leaving this path behind
Shake my faith You’re never gonna break me Take my strength you’re never gonna make me turn my back away from the truth I won’t play your games I’m nobody’s fool
I’m leaving, leaving this path behind don’t need your sympathy I’m leaving, don’t try to change my mind I’m leaving this path behind

Mood: Pensive on a chilly night
Time flies and it's already September....
A resolution came to my mind... to avoid myself from backsliding in negativity.... there are a few types whom I decided I do not really need in my life...
1) Those who pry into my life because they are simmering in pure jealousy or just to satisfy their overwhelming curiosity, and not because they are concerned or happy for me... my advice is get a life of your own! U'll feel more fulfilled if u're willing to open yourself up to new experiences and people... ( I guess in a way, I should be happy... at least my life's worth tunin' to... =p)
2) Those who expect the world out from you, but give you nothing back in return, except blame. (nothing's free in this world, it's a two way street of give & take... reciprocation & appreciation...)
3) Those who need to step on you constantly in order to "elevate" themselves, because of their own inferiority. To me, this is nothing worth respecting...
I never thought I'll say this, but I learnt it the hard way.... guess sometimes, the saying is true... u gotta be cruel to others in order to be kind to yourself.... does not apply to all of coz... some good frens really deserve the extra mile...
Anyway, I guess I have learnt not to be too bothered about what others say because they know the truth based on their own perceptions... people have the right to freedom of thought & speech... but of coz my dear frens, I know who u are... no worries! kekee.... it's not the amount of time we spend together, but the sincerity that I can feel from you... i'll try to repay your kindness doubly in kind! Thanks for the patience!
As I am writing all these, my mind's in a twirl of confusion and uncertainty about the future.... not unlike the crazy markets nowadays... sometimes I wonder if I am walkin' down the right path and whether will everything be worth it or not in the end... hope i'll find my way through the rain soon....
Bad vibes vented out... now down to the nice stuff... Had a lovely time with family, frens and colleagues in the recent days... bonded and learnt quite a bit, whether in terms of work, or relationships in life.... I realised that being social and confident is a choice u make in life.... what you want to be is totally up to yourself and whether how happy you are with that choice...
Know I hv been puttin' off organising the Southern Ridges walk... hee be patient... haven't really feelin' well now.... it will surely happen soon, i promise! =p As usual, thanks to my faithful gang of kakis who always, always lend their ears to me! =)
