Sweet Dessert

Carrot Pudding. Sourish Sweet. Yum. Thanks Lor!

A sweet looking couple in their late-twenties ran this dessert store @ market street. I'm sure that is the reason why the place felt welcoming to me. A couple in love (i'm guessing) selling sweet healthy desserts and wanting to share their little world with you. Now how welcoming is that? very much so I say!

Besides, there is definitely something sweet and romantic (swoon~) about the idea of selling desserts together with the one you loved, tucked away at a corner of the busy city street.

My take? It's a little oasis in the unforgiving desert of a city. Definitely a good place to enjoy a nice relaxing bowl of dessert and just relax. =)

Lingering uneasiness

I can't sleep. The image of the battered bicycle lying on the road remains fresh in my mind.

Hundred metres down, I saw another battered machinary. This time, it is in the form of a car. The car felt lifeless to me, with it's crumpled bonnet and boot and only one signal light blinking sporetically as it lies broken along the road divider.

No blood. No blue tents. No ambulance. Nothing. Nothing at all to signify injury or death have transpired. It was just car and bicycle, lying broken and lifeless at the side of the road.

A disquieting chill hits me. I didn't like what I saw. I felt uneasy.

So much so that I did the usual of stopping insteading of accompanying the ascent. Sorry.

I can't help but think a life was lost. I hope I'm wrong.

ITGC 3 Golden Rules

1. LHS = RHS

The LHS (Description of test performed) must be equal to the RHS(TOD/TOE documentation).

2. CYA

Always Cover your Ass (CYA) when performing the TOD/TOE. Always conform to TOE sampling size. Ask yourself this question, "Am I fulfilling the control objectives?"

3. Treat Reviewers as Idiots

Always document EVERYTHING and do not assume that the person reviewing your work know everything. Chances are, he/she knows nothing. So document as comprehensively as possible.

Too logical a mind is not logical, me thinks.

Sigh. I can't stop thinking. I'm afraid. Logically, I shouldn't be, What-ifs scenarios doesn't warrant time for worrying.

Yet, the past seemed to haunt me. This time, the roles are reversed. Maybe that was how they felt in the past. Insecurity might be one of them to say the least. Maybe, this time, it will be my turn on the receiving end, finally. Time to payback what I took. Sigh.

D +24, offset +0. Too premature for phase change. But params are fluctuating. Puzzling.

Too logical a mind is not logical, me thinks.

STOP.

Do I need a title?

!@#$%.....shitty day i say....so much crap happened today that i can't be bothered phrasing nicely. How often in one day can you feel worried, hurt (a minor bit), miserable, stressful, frustrated, irritated, tired, stupid, dejected in one stupid freaking day consisting of only 24hours?!?

I hated the way things are going, i hate the way things are being managed and I hate the way when it all seems to be my fault!

I did want i can at that point in time, rectified as much as I can and all I get is a bunch of negativity. I might as well don't do. I don't see the point in completing jobs when there isn't benefits then. no satisfaction no nothing. just a shitload of negativity.

Can't even be bothered to explain certain things. Don't think there is a need to. no one can do anything any way.

There ain't going to be a better day.

Munch. zzzZzzzz

Munch munch. nice mushroomies.....nice fish.....nice chicken......wake up the nieghbourhood....dreamt of eating crabs, mushrooms and more crabs....nice stars....

sadly cold, brrrr, climb mountain of ice....colder....brrrrr.....zzzzzzz

Conscious!

I want to jump into the Singapore River!! Conscious! Conscious! Conscious! All i can think of was Conscious! Walk a step. Conscious! Walk another step. Conscious! Conscious! Conscious!

I want to jump into Singapore River!!!

There is always a time for everything, including love.

Love! It's in the air! It was announced to me in the form of an innocent looking creme coloured envelope when I woke up this morning. The joyous intent of the mail bursted forth the moment I peeled away the flap revealing the red invitation card.

*Grins*

What can I say? The word "Happy" do no justice to what I am feeling. Though I have not seen you and your spouse (using the term prematurely here from a chinese context) for like 4 years, I still remember the time I met up with the both of you quite vivdly. It seemed like yesterday. I can still remember the place we ate (MOS burger), the smell of the fries and the taste of the milk tea. But what I remembered most intensely was the both of you. Or rather, it was the fuzzy feeling of warmth flowing out from both of you.

Love was in the air back then and still is in the air now. And receiving this mail is attestation to that love. And the commitment of it.

Old friend, I'm so, so, so happy for the both of you. Truely.

The road is long...

When Frodo and Sam first set out on their quest to destroy the one ring, none of them knew what will be awaiting them. Even if they had known what lies ahead of their long and trecherous journey, I do not think they will shun from it. Because they had a noble cause; To destroy the one ring that threatens the peace on Middle earth.

My journey in life, metaphorically speaking, is far from noble. There is no ring for me to destroy. No world for me to save from the evil monster. Sadly, my life at this current phase is just to help others earn their profit, maintain their shiny BMW and keep them fat and happy.

Heh...perhaps life in reality is unfair. In the movie, sauron had to rely on his minons to be his hands and legs. Perhaps, because he was not material ,that even out the chance for Frodo to destroy the one ring. Ask Sauron to drive a BMW around frodo as he crawls towards Mordor and I'm sure he will be so demoralised that he would just throw the ring back at Sauron. Middle earth withstanding or not.

I can't pinpoint this tireness in me. I mean, I haven't been working as hard as others, i've been truthful to my policy of "not bringing work home","don't work over the weekends" and "to hell with impossible deadlines" yet I still feel drawn. Why? Why? Why? Is it the environment? Is it the people? Or is it the very nature of the work?

I think i already know the answer. Just that i'm merely refusing to acknowledge it.

First post for 2007

Rain. The soft splattering of these tears from heaven on the earth magically produces a soothing, flowing river of music which calms all souls living on it. And when the rain finally stops, the invigorating smell of rain dew will spill across the earth, symbolising the start of a new and fresh beginning.

Perhaps... Perhaps that is why it always rains in December, to cleanse away the old and worn 2006 and to prepare for the arrival of the spanking new 2007.

Goodbye 2006. Hello 2007.
