Don't really have a title to this post because it just consist of random thoughts...

1) It's been more than a week since I was back from Bangkok bringing back my sickness. I am on the road to recovery but the bad news is 1) 1 by 1, my family member fell sick and 2) don't know for what apparent reason, I've got cold sores! Oh yes, cold sores is very painful and because of it, I can't really open my mouth wide and it make eating very difficult. To make life even more difficult for me, I can't really talk. I told someone of it and she said "maybe its a time you learn to be a good listener." Perhaps its true. :)

2) Have been considering to cut my hair since a few weeks back and well the lazy me have never really gotten down to doing it. But this week, I finally got down to it. Considering that the peak season of my work starts next week and I'll be spending countless late nights once again. Probably by the time I get home, shower and wait for my hair to dry would be a chore. So..after researching for which salon can help girls "chop" off their long hair nicely, I decided on Icon by Shunji Matsuo. . I didn't really have an idea in mind how drastic I wanted to "chop" off my hair and ended up, it was slightly off the shoulders abit. Most people say no difference, but seriously-> this is the shortest hair I have in years!

Just before I left for work, the next day I cut my hair. Thanks to Eric from Icon by Shunji Matsuo. Oh yes, I am also wearing a new dress which I bought from BKK. Only 160 Baht.

3) On Wed evening, I met SQ for some ice cream action at Island Creamery which is located at Serene centre. Its the 2nd time of the month I'm there and once again, I ate the same thing. Yes I am kinda boring when it comes to food. Not that adventurous. In fact, I wanted to try the Alaska bomb but to my disappointment, the flavour inside is "Vanilla & Strawberry" both of which I don't really like. So ended up with the same thing. SQ ordered Mango with Apple Pie and it tastes fantastic. Time with SQ was rather good, ok. I was telling her my frustrations in BGR because "the person I am interested in don't know that I am interested in him but the people whom I totally have no interest in irritates me all the time.". Actually the main reason that she wanted to meet me was also to talk to me on this topic of BGR. I am kind of glad at the end of the session, it was somehow fruitful and I am upset that Serene Centre parking charges are so EXPENSIVE! Just about 2.5 hours parking came up to $6.12. I thought over 5pm parking should be charged on a per entry basis. Boo!!!

Just before we started tucking in

my favourite, ice cream pie with Oreo

Apple pie with Mango. Mango ice cream is good coz the flavour is really strong

4) Lastly, this is thought which I am so proud of and I really must write it down. I think probably many people won't think much of it but personally it's a breakthrough for me. For some, you would probably know I went through some saga back in January and for the month of January I've not been attending care group. I did attend service back then but I don't sit with my care group. In Feb, there was some reconciliation work done but I also haven't really been attending care group. Reason: I didn't really want to see someone in the CG. So...whenever I know she's going to be there, I will come up with all sorts of stupid excuse not to go and when I know she's not there, then I will appear.

Today, there was care group officially and I knew she was going to be there. In fact, throughout the day, I've been thinking "Go or don't go". Even @ around 4+, someone asked if I was going and i just ignore the question. Then, I had a last min con-call at 630pm and it ended at 730pm. In fact, I have the best excuse not to go. Because knowing that my office is at some 鸟不生蛋 place and my office policy is cab charges are only claimable after 830pm. I could have just waited until 830pm then get off. But knowing myself, if I were to leave at 830pm, I will be too lazy to even go for care group. So I left office at 730pm. Hopped onto 183 (which surprisingly came the min I got to the bus stop) and reached Clementi in 10 mins time. That's kind of amazing. While at Clementi, I was hoping for a cab and I was like 'God if you want me to go, then give me a cab.' (knowing that rainy days, its so hard to get a cab) and yes I did that. Goes without saying,a cab came in less than a min and I got home and drove to care group. By the time I reached the destination, it was 830pm.

I guess what's more amazing in this whole thing was not the cab came in time. But the breakthrough was that "knowing that the person is going to be there and yet I chose to go." In itself was a breakthrough. I could have came up with excuses of not going like 1) i knock off very late 2) cold sores, mouth pain so very tired. All these which I seriously think are very legitimate excuses but somehow I am kind of PROUD of myself that I didn't make such excuses for myself :)

I took this with my newly purchase Panasonic Lumix FP-8 Camera! I always love to see 2 Marchies side by side. Of coz mine is always the nicer one. :p
