That's What Friends Are For

It was just great meeting up with my sec skol pals. Eating, catching up and chatting abt old times. Laughing at all the silly nonsense tat we bounced off each other.

Then it occurred to me tat in 2 years time, we cld go for a 10-years anniversary celebration of our friendship.

A decade is really quite a looong time & even though there were times we din meet up alot, still really nice 2 chat with them cos there are so many shared memories. In a way, i think we were best pals since sec 2 becos we really click? & somehow all this chemistry between the 4+1 of us is still there.

Most imptly, i was really glad i cld speak to 'em about my faith today, abt what is close to my heart. and i really pray that one day they will come to know the Lord.

=)

I'm Addicted to you...

I think I probably fall under the generation that cannot live without internet. As much as i love the benefits of gaining information at a click, it's just how amazing how people's lives can be exposed on the net.

For instance, I am quite sure you have read about the miss sarong party girl who poses nude photos of herself on the net. then there is xiaxue? and countless of celebrity blogs u can read online.

then there's also those friends of yours that you never talk to in school but read their blogs religiously for latest updates and gossips in their lives.

Okay, maybe that only applies to me.

Then of course, there's you the reader who's reading this to find out what on earth is Carmen doing in her life.

The internet culture has changed our lives. We spend more time talking to each other over MSN, updating about our friends' lives thru blogs and jumping from site to site to see the relationships between different people.

Instead of picking up the phone and saying "hello, how are you?"

Maybe the next time u miss me, just pick up the fone and give me a ring. it's 24hrs incoming calls free. Just dun wake me up in middle of nite to send me to visit my loo.

I stand amazed in your presence

I was watching some of the episodes of The Most Extreme that airs on Arts Central.

It's really amazing to see how God has created some of his creatures. For example, cockroaches can still live even if their heads get chopped off!

And the polar bear while hibernating, actually gives birth to her babies!

And and and!!! the father penguin actually stays in the same position without food or anithing for 70+ days to warm the egg that will be hatched when spring comes.

I am just so amazed at the father penguin part. I mean, even animals go through such sacrifices for their offsprings. How can we not even do that?

Thanks so much Dad & Mum for everything. =)

What lar..

Nothing much to blog about except that work has been tiring and stressful for me.

Maybe we shouldn't really go into that.

I think my work has robbed any form of my creativity to blog man.

Hiyah, time 2 sleep. Goodnite.

F or S?

I know this sounds stupid but i keep getting my "F" and "S"(s) words mixed up.

E.g. 1

Me: Where are you now?

JB: Spots..

Me: Spots???

JB: Fox..

Me: Oh!!!

E.g. 2

Me: Hey, how to spell your chinese name?

Roger: Soong Heng..

Me: Soong Heng?

Roger: No...Foong Heng.

Me: Oh!!!

See what i mean? Okay, maybe this is not really worth blogging about. But well, all for now till i post up photos of the UBIN trip i went!

To be the best

It's about my pride, isn't it? I keep wanting myself to be very good, to be better than others.

I feel upset when I can't do certain things well and right. But as I reflected, it wasn't so much about not being able to get my tasks done.

Am just paranoid about wanting people to have good impressions of me.

I really need to get out of all these crap, i need to learn new things. I should let my guard down and stop getting caught up in all these unnecessary stuff that is stressing me up.

(In other more cheerful news...)

Have you guys watched Lost? I have just watched the 2nd episode and i think my whole family is so glued to it! I must keep my Thurs nites free!!! I am a sucker for such shows..cool cast, great plot, mysterious stuff ongoing.

I just read a blog that was punctuated with vulgarities.

Just a thought: why are most of the vulgarities related to either your mother, father, the toilet or sexual organs?
