What is Life?

Yes. I admit. I am OLD!!! *sniff*
I actually thought I was pretty young (pretty and young, you know? :P) till recently.
Jenny's recent post stirred up some very odd feelings inside of me. It got me to seriously start thinking about my future. (Not that I didn't, just not that deep).

Why do I say I'm old??
I'm now in the next phase of life - work. But after this, then what?
Marriage?
Not on the cards for me yet, seems too far away. :(
If that does happen, so what? I'll just settle back down into being a working, married woman.
Then? Kids....?? Two, three, God knows how many will pop out. LOL. And suddenly, I'm a working mother.
Next? Work, work, work. Family, family, family.
And then??? *Bam!!!*  RETIRE.... and spend my free time doing gardening or Tai Chi...hahahaha.
And at most become a grandmother.
And then? We die...
Where we all rot in our wooden graves... and our souls float around or go to heaven.(See la if you're good or not. Heh.)

Which leads me to this question.
Is that just what life is all about???

I don't want such a mundane and routine life!!! Sigh.

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
