u're an open-minded person with a very emotional side in it which is very good but.....that also makes u suffer a bit on ur relationships...sometimes u get a bit too emotional and too involved on people. And sometimes ur expectations don't match theirs....

If this conversation were to happen 2 weeks ago, I would have overanalyze, pick apart and scrutinize the words for days & days on end, launch into the mother of all debates with JTL (he call himself Brad(pui!), I call him Bread = Jiam Tao Loti, he then calls me EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil -_-), knowing that my firy eloquence wouldnt have let me down.

So, thank God for sermons on relating to people, managing disappointments and in retrospect, my own expectations.

Having said that, that's pretty darn accurate coming from a new friend. It would have reached the point of being revelational if not for the fact that this hit me a while back and put me into a self-reflecting state since then.
How shall I put it- knowing u have weaknesses and actually fessing up that you are not as okay as you need to be are 2 different things. And it's not helping that some days I live on Smarties - unless coated with a crisp sugar shell, I don't take to medicine... even when I know I need it, much to my own chagrin.

Still, hearing it so vividly made it somewhat unsettling. I mean, am I that transparent for someone to conclude that based on a weekend's worth of activities? Plus, I don't see the link or how he derived at his conclusion o_O

Anyway, to end mindless chatter and my Friday nite in the office, here's introducing my mantra to chant whenever I'm on the verge of thinking too much:

I am not who I think I am.
I am not who others think I am.
I am not who I think others think I am.
I am who God says I am.

Works like a charm.

Just when I thought I can roll up my sleeves and do a bit of springcleaning, the girls reminded me about the potluck picnic for the event tomorrow:



No time to do my tiramisu for them then, not even vodka jelly shots :( *tugs on whine-muffs wearily* Perhaps a couple of pints of B&J could save the day... and my ears.

Lunchie with Alison before she flies back to the land downunder tomorrow.

Not that I intend to attend the function below (ex can...) but I'm posting this cos the ad looks good and the owner is nice =)

Came across fushialane when I popped into the Red Dot Design Museum last year with with GW. Really neat place showcasing eclectic creations and a monthly bazaar featuring handmade goodies by local designers.

Fell in lurve with the engineered cheongsam tops but at that pricetag and frequency of wear, I rather invest it on a nice suit jacket. You heard me right - suit jacket. Go figure the cost @_@

I still remember Vivian =) It's good to know she's came a long way to be featured in Urban, with enough fans to kickstart the 1st of many private functions to come. Very encouraging news for the local design scene.

In addition to Sunday classes this week:
