changed the song! everyone let the song buffer and listen! if it doesnt play then go click that little play button at the right hand side of the blog! its a nice and soothing song. sometimes a guitar and a nice voice is all you need. =)
旅行的意义
你看过了许多美景 你看过了许多美女
你迷失在地图上每一道短暂的光阴
你品嚐了夜的巴黎 你踏过下雪的北京
你熟记书本里每一句你最爱的真理
却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
却说不出在什麼场合我曾让你动心
说不出离开的原因
你累计了许多飞行 你用心挑战纪念品
你蒐集了地图上每一次的风和日丽
你拥抱热情的岛屿 你埋葬记忆的土耳其
你流连电影里美丽的不真实的场景
wanted to post nice pictures up here so that we can experience festive mood. but i dunno why i cant synchro my hp and my pc. so cant upload yet. SORRY!

rah. if you read The Sunday Times on Sunday (duh) you probably would have come across this article on the beggars who actually live in Geylang hotels and own prosthetic legs (which are supposedly very expensive). If you haven't read it then SHAME ON YOU. kidding. just click on the link here. it is only available for the next 7 days though unless you subscribed to Straits Times online.
Seen in Singapore- China Amputees beg to get quick money i know its a long article and seemingly unimportant as compared to the US primaries or the never-ending inflation or the horrible transport problem in China, but the whole point of this blog entry is that I GOT SCAMMED. If that amputee can afford a plane ticket to Singapore and can even pay for his own prosthetic legs (correct me if i'm wrong but i think prosthetic legs cant be donated since they must be custom-made to fit each individual which totally means that they have the money to get people to custom make the legs for them.) why should i donate my hard-earned money to him when i see him in the morning? and i believe his minder actually takes a cut of his earnings. irritating.
im just ranting i know. in your mind you must be thinking "dawn's so dumb she got scammed. *cues evil laughter*" but its pissifying cause its my hard-earned money!! i have to stare at the stupid computer screen for hours and spoil my eyes and that guy scams my $$!! idiot.
next time i swear i'll only donate to buskers and beggars overseas (especially those in thailand with their young kids.). at least the buskers make me happy with their music. and even if i get scammed by the thai beggars i don't really care cause i just hope the kids there get a better life then their parents who have to beg. theres probably a syndicate controlling the beggars but who cares. at least if i donate then maybe the people in the syndicate wouldn't spank the kids so much.

sometimes i wonder why i am so silly. ba zi ji de re lian tie zai bie ren de leng pi ku shang (literal translation: place my hot face onto someones cold butt). if you dunno what it means then too bad i also dunno how to explain properly. not even sure if i got the phrase right.
anyway back to topic. sometimes you really wanna keep in contact with someone but its really difficult you know. like why must i always be the one who initiates conversations, meetups etc? just because i want to be friends with you more than you want to be friends with me? but if i don't make an effort to do so then the friendship will distant. but then again if your friend doesn't even bother does it mean the friendship is not worth it anymore? should we just let go of the friendship?
so confusing.

today was a really cold day. BRRR. but it was quite shiok actually. my walk from hougang station back home was relatively cool. i could even feel a breeze. a breeze in singapore is near impossible. the whole cooling thing made me wanna snug up in bed and sleep. but sadly i was walking home.
anyway today i moved from my nice nice desk which was ALL MINE to the board room. and no its not cause i got promoted or something k. its cause theres going to be new permanent blood joining my company so i got to let them have my desk. rah. and now i have to move to the board room. then i only have a small small space cause i have to share with 7 other people! the only thing good about the board room is that we can talk all we want. just not too loud cause its not soundproof. and i can sit unglamourise-ly on the chair! and eat all i want. the downside is that i have to walk like 100 metres to find my senior to get work to do. RAH.
haha. i know its really sian reading my blog cause its all about work. sorry can't include any other stuff cause seriously my life is now mostly work. of course i could blog about my colleagues but i shan't yet until i find out more about them.
OH YA. and in this weeks blog entry we celebrate TAN MING YI'S birthday! 27th January. As well as TOK YI FANG EUNICE! 29th January! Happy Birthday to you! sorry your celebration is not until next month! but we will see each other on 16th feb! =)
in desperate need to bake (cause baking is therapeutic) but i dunno what to bake. anyone with any interesting recipe can email me! (like anyone will.) quite sian of baking brownies. maybe i should go find some recipe to bake cheese muffins! but then again if i bake i oso dunno who to give. anyone wants to be guinea pig? =P
