Moving on
'That part of my life is well and truly over.'
Quoted from Vanessa Mae's mother who has since been estranged from her daughter and not wanting to reconcile, as seen from the laconic and terse statement.
How many of us can let go as such and bid farewell to all that we've had, all the memories and the accolades? The quote, taken out of its context, can also serve as a reminder to us all to put aside bad memories, bid gdbye to the ex, or even to stop being complacent about our past glories or the shelter we had been placed into when we were studying as students, callow and just "hot off the oven of university" and not seen the real world yet.
If someone brings back certain things I don't want to remember for personal reasons I guess I'd just use the quote above. Even if people were to say, oh you were in Dean's List, you did this and that, u were so good in that subject and all that, I'd say the same thing.
'That part of my life is well and truly over.' Time to move on and like what Michael Jackson said, "the best is yet to come". Has he been inspired by any college's motto I wonder?
Facebk as breakup medium
My mum's friend's daughter used facebook status change to signal she wanted a breakup to her bf without him knowing of it. The writing's on the wall and she knew he wasn't dependable so she outta cut her losses, he was a bad stock, bad investment which was highly volatile n wildly fluctuating. He of coz had a nasty shock. Howeva, if it was the guy who did this he prob be labelled a jerk or bastard by one and all. Callous, insensitive, "lacking a sensitivity chip" (Aniston, post Brad-days, 2005)
And now I shall sidetrack to my fav gossip topic in Hollywood- the Brad, Jen n Angie saga from A lvls till now. I of course do sympathise with Jen of Friends. Post Brad she met a number of mr-right-now but not mr-right in the forms of Vince and apparently John Mayer, and acc to tabloids, have gone splitsville due to his casanova predisposition. Jen is now 40, just like Zoe Tay. An all-American good gal, but a spate of bad luck n bad choices. Awwww my brother always think u were the hottest Hollywood star.
I'm an Angelina admirer, but not a "fan" per se, I have only paid to watch in the cinema one movie of hers, that one with Brad in as well which possibly could have a sequel Mr and Mrs Jolie-Pitt. I admire her courage and her kindness, her humility and compassion to convert from wild-child, tattoo and knife-loving Billy Bob Thorton days and b4 to her after Maddox life. I do not think she wanted to be a 3rd party in Jen n Brad's r.s per se given that her dad (whom she takes after) Jon Voight left the mum she so loved when she was so young. As her admirer I was kind of happy that Brad came into her life coz I think he's this stablising force for her and now with 6 kids she obviously needs a Man and father-of-household more than ever.
But every time I read about Jen's floundering love life juxtaposed with Best Friend Courtney Cox Arquette's seemingly happy marriage with kid I kind of feel for her... which woman can tolerate your then-hubby getting all cosy with a hot colleague at work, then leaving u for her and now having so many children with her... with millions of mags worldwide sensationalizing the issue.
Perhaps, sadistically, we ordinary women can take refuge in the fact that even one of the world's most gorgeous stars can suffer this indignity, insult and heartache. Good that she has moved on and looks just as good as eva but perhaps Jen, let the guys come to you, if they truly are worth it. I really believe a gal can just sit there n do nothing and if a guy is really into her, he will come a-knocking.
P.S I am not implying she's being desperate or whateva. I donno her personally and do not want to judge. I just hope a happy ending for her and also, to Brad n Angie if possible, becoz since he has chosen Angie he should, hopefully, stick to her, or the children for as long as they're not adults yet.
A mistake at work and I felt really bad
Today I felt v guilty about discarding a raw sample of the hons student whom we were assisting in sorting out for the proj thinking that it was rubbish and no longer needed. It was left in the sieve at the basin and naturally I wanted to ask her but I cldn't find her. And I thought I shld just help to discard it with my sample becoz to leave it lyng around would be unsightly and even reflect badly on me....
When she called and asked me if I'd used the sieve I admitted to it and she said that it was her raw sample there.. I was mortified... I'd thrown away her hard work unknowingly.
I tot my days at the lab were numbered but thankfully she told me there were no consequences. I expected to be fired...But at that point in time I didn't know.. to throw or not to throw.. rather than just leave it there....
Haiz I never felt so bad before...they wld prob waive it off and estimate the loss. But luckily I was given a 2nd chance...
So I think... to err is human to forgive is divine.
Things to do before you grad- to-do list
--- Go munchy Monkey!!
--- Finally, be an undergrad student researcher, and not necessarily with my your own Dept
--- swim whenever possible (barring bad weather)
If my father finally finds a job after 2 years maybe I still can consider Honours otherwise I will take it as if this is my last year.
Yi En's escape
Thank God that he is safe and sound... Now I will never view crossing the zebra crossing in the same way again!!
On another note tried to swim today but it looked like it gonna rain n it was so cold. :(
Today ran afte 151 double decker. It did not cock up somewhere n break down, thankfully, unlike the previous experience! :)
Enjoy
I enjoy looking at menus of Italian restaurants... :) To think of what to eat is always something on my mind... I am so GREEDY in the gastronomic sense haha..Wishing to return to Sci lab to work... having withdrawal symptons.. if I'd my way I wanna go back everyday!
Enjoy tuitioning so far... hope the two guys n gal will benefit. Much as it's abt the pay for this job, it's also abt maximising their potential. But it's taking away some of my time.. ouch.. Sundays... WOWWWWW....
It's something transcribing can nvr do. Even in sci lab where I can find specimens n be proud of what I am doing, transcribing makes me frustrated n bad-tempered... it's the nature of the job.
I plan to discontinue with it. Just one more and that's prob the end. My heart is not in it anymore and I haven't received the damn payment yet for 3 mths of hard labour. BRRRRR.
Dumping Changing landscapes for Geog of devt was a good choice... the latter makes me think, the former is no kick...it's too... easy i think. I need a challenge!! I hearts Godfrey's module.
