frictional unemployment
Thursday, February 23, 2006



i've been in the phase of frictional unemployment. i started working for the sake of saving up money for my mission trip, but guess what, i signed on a contract to work till the end of june. no mission trip unless i fork out $960 to break my contract. ugh. am i dumb. nvm. maybe it was meant to be like that. cause i passed both interviews in one day. turned down the first cause i thought of the distance and the committment. and i caused my agent to get a scolding. which explains why i accepted the next. hiaz. hiaz. hiaz.

in anycase, i still believe that God gives good things, so it cant be all that bad. maybe He has a purpose that i havent found out. And it also means i dont have to go for anymore job interviews for a long time to come. no more prancing about in heels. how awful. and i seriously dont see the need for make up. Not pretty then not pretty lor. Like i care. haha

my mummy
Friday, February 17, 2006




i shall dedicate this post to my mum. even though she'll probably never know about it. felt like doing it after my solitude with God..

Dear mummy,

i decided to write this cause i've been feeling really bad about being such a rebellious daughter.. for once, after working 8 to 5. i realise how much effort it is to do chores after you come home from work. how you always have to cook for me and then after dinner, do all the ironing and the laundry. all i want to do after work is laze infront of the tv or go sleep.. for that alone, i think you deserve a big applause and maybe a presidents award or something.

remember all the times i blamed you for not knowing whats happening in school, like you never tried attending any of the meet the teachers meetings.. you cant remember my class, or you dont know what subjects i take. But then again, i remember the times you took me to playschool when i was four and it was snowing heavily, about -40 degrees. you also had to explain to the playschool teacher why i scolded everyone else in chinese. in grade school, you made lunch for me everyday, be it fried rice or ham sandwich.. even till now, you do still make lunch for me to take to school or to work. even if it means waking up 15 minutes earlier. communication is a two way thing. you ask, how were my exams? and my standard reply would be: "ok". Even when i do run into problems, i'll probably just keep it to myself, not wanting you to be overly concerned and nagging me. So really, it's my fault more than yours that you know nothing about what i go through everyday.

i blame you when you get moody. but i forget that you're human too.. and all humans have mood swings. so do i. like i never put myself in your moccasins since i have mood swings half of the time. that's when i give you the silent treatment. i'm sorry.

being a mum is tough. you have to make sure everything runs smoothly in the whole family. Remember when i got my durian cuts.. the one that happened when i was carrying two bags of durians, shell and all back to ahyee's house. i sorta never forgave you for not bringing me to see the doctor in time and ignoring my insistence that something is very wrong. But then again, i think of the time before my Bio prelims when i fell sick and you nursed me the whole night so that i could take my paper the next morn. Even now, as i'm coughing, while i insist that halls can do the trick, you still had to go buy cough mixture and personally bring me to the doctor. You have to ask me if i've taken my medicine even though i'm already 18 turning 19 and can very well take care of myself. Cause you know that i'm the kind of kid that wont take her meals if she doesnt have the time or take my medicine if i conviently forget.

You've attended all my concerts and even promoted them to your friends, much as i know that classical is not your genre. You give me allowance for lunch every sunday knowing that i'm such a miser to spend my own money on lunch. You tidy my room even though it'll still be messy once i enter it. You peck me goodnight just before you go to sleep, no matter how tired you are.

I'm glad that God gave me you. Cause i wont know where or what i'll be without you. Being a mum is still tough. esp with a daughter like me. i once commented when someone asked me if i'd ever have kids saying " i think i never want to have any, it's tough raising one like me"

For all you've done and will do in the future, Thank you loads=) and i want to tell you, while i never verbalise it anymore, i LOVE you MUM!

love, sarah

pretty amazing huh. i wonder how they did that.

feeling pretty drowsy thanks to cough medicine. argh. i've been sick for two whole weeks. mostly my fault cause i thought i'd get over it without the doctor. hee=D i hope i can get better soon though.

havent been updating also cause of work. i finshed my one week assignment! yay. filing is such fun. working in the pantry has it perks cause i get to listen to all the latest happenings in the office.. haha. Even though i work alone, it's not boring at all, cause there's alot to be done and deadlines to be met. pushes me to be efficient=D

V day came and went by. first time i dont have a test on Vday since i was sec 3. haha.. citylink was super packed that day. but it was a good thing, cause the trains going back to toa payoh were quite empty. Since being Vday and all.. i decided to go for a date instead of going home straight from work.. went for solitude with God.. thought about lots.. all the unforgiveness in my life, the areas in my life that weren't very pleasing. =X think there are lots of hidden skeletons in my closet.. still need to clean out more.

if you forgive someone, does it mean that you have to trust that person with the same wholehearted trust again? i wonder. Like there's no way i'll go back to the sugarcane seller who called my specky.. haha.

i miss chocolate. argh=D

speechless
Tuesday, February 07, 2006



speechless. that's what i am now.. ugh. i knew it. it was the perfect combination for a sore throat which gave way to stomach flu.. dont feel like seeing the doctor too.. like super ma fan, and it's expensive.

last weeks cell was on forgiveness.. think it really struck a cord in me.. like there's so many hidden skeletons in the closet. time to do a little spring cleaning. get it all washed out..

thanks to Jing yi, life has been more interesting.. haha. without her emails. i think i wouldnt even bother to come online.. kks. i better stop before i boost someone's ego. =P

better go now. sleep early. hopefully the headache will go away without the help of painkillers. ugh.

i'm addicted to freecell? haha. probably the only game that i can play properly. ya.
havent blogged for a long time. long by standards.

evolution. i wonder why people think that we evolve from monkeys, which evolve from fishes. my take on it is that if we really did just that, next time we'll be funny looking creatures with horns sticking out of our head.. maybe our heads will balloon to twice the current size, since we are supposed to get smarter.. haha. i'm sorry, but i believe in creation. yup yup. in my opinion, evolution just tries to explain why some of us resemble monkeys and why maybe some people tend to act like primates too. (no offence to staunch evolution, pro-darwin peeps.)

went job hunting with jasmine today.. saw xue xin and another cedarian.. havent seen all of them for a long time.. and it reminds me of how much i miss my friends. like mabel, sabrina, ee teng..

This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
