Two.:.Four.:.Six

We look alike, don't we? Something small for ourselves :) We had wanted to go to Bishan but didn't think there's much to do so we went Orchard instead. It's been a while since Mr. Grumpy dislikes going to crowded town. Was thinking hard what I wanted for my super belated birthday treat and thought of the Korean restaurant in Chinatown... So off we went. Kimchi pancake Seafood steamboat - yummy! Rice cake before & after - barely touched because we over ordered! After dinner, it was reminiscing at OG. I had a great time thanks to my brother.  More to come :) 

What kind of partner do you have?What kind of partner do you want? If you want to attempt answering the second question, don't bother. Because most of the time, you don't get what you want. And the funny thing with humans is, even if we do get what we want, we are just not contented. Well, at least for most of us. And some people simply have expectations that are so high that makes me wonder, do you have a mirror to look at yourself first? I mean, let's be realistic. If you are not that pretty, don't expect a prince charming. What are the odds? You think men are kinder when it comes to exterior beauty? Nay... Who doesn't want a rich husband? Again, ask yourself if you want to spend your life fishing for me and end up being cheated on or worse, spend your whole life searching for one yet end up with none. I think it's not easy for the singles to find someone nowadays. Expectations aside, where do people meet people? Clubs? Too sleazy perhaps... Fr...

Am very glad aunt is fine. Thank you buddha for hearing our prayers. My brother can't graduate yet. But hey, doesn't mean you are not. KL next week. Let it be a successful event. Japan or not? Still hoping...ha Korea then? Shopping awaits! We'll see. August's approaching :)

We finally watched Transformers 3 and shopped for his work wear. Damage done: close to S$900

I'm much happier today :) First the October plan - just can't stop thinking about it! Then the good news at work - no, not for me but still. And then the excited updates from Mr. Grumpy about his new job. Everything seem to be in place now and I really believe this is a good beginning for us. Bring it on, the remaining of 2011!

I always tell myself to have less of that such that I will minimise the chances of disappointment.But who am I kidding really? Myself of course. Because I still care, I still mind and I still, expect. It's the WTF moments like these that I just... said a loud WTF and then let it be. Is this the best way? No. But what then? Perhaps it's the hormones, I can't seem to find anything happy to talk about this week. Kinda feel I was picked on several times because I couldn't live up to expectations. See, expectations form a two-way thing and although they make you want to do better, most of the time they make you feel like crap. I even broke down a little while watching "Ah Di" because Keqin's sister said she isn't a good sister by not noticing her brother is sick and suicidal.... Yes, it stung right at that moment. Because I expect myself to be a good sister yet I think I've failed somehow. I want to do well at work but I know my limits and ...

People change and we just have to deal with it. I'm just not who you think I am.

Much has happened in that one month and I'm glad we are where we are today. Early June, Mr Grumpy was told he's going to lose his job. The magazine which he has been writing for the past 7 odd years and has been in the industry for the longest time would cease production with immediate effect (the June issue). He was almost completing the July issue so you could imagine his pain. I guess we were kinda expecting this day to come, especially with the industry getting increasingly competitive and the company is somewhat is not making money. But when reality hits, whatever you have expected or were prepared for, somehow don't matter that much. One still gets emotional especially our fellow Cancerian. Then again, life moves on. No matter how much time, effort, passion, blood and sweat you have put in, when it's time to let go, you just have to. Sad and bad news aside, thanks to some angels around him and of course his own blessings, experience, expertise and a lit...
