[S and me. We had a marvellous store at a great location. Surrounded by TCS people past and very current. =)]

We basically sold the stuff in our wardrobe that we don't want anymore. I also sold some stuff which my friends didn't want. I only made $100. And i also got myself stuff too! Shoppergirl needs to shop at every available opportunity. heh.
[Kookai bag]
[a holy top] hahahahhaha. i'm so funny!

Wednesday nights live

Every Wednesday night, a bunch of young working professionals gather in Spottiswoode park for cell. hehe. We begin with dinner. And obviously, underaged people are welcome too.

[This is Audrey. She just celebrated her 1st birthday. She joins us every week. (cos it's her house)]
[there you go!]

21 August 07

[D, Z and H. And the 2 presents we made for her. ]

Happy birthday Z. U r a treasure. Remember that. =)

[Us, D and J are not here. Cos D thinks we dine too far from where he lives and J's knee is not good]

[Me, Z] Gal pals rock.

Tuesday Nights Live

It's ok

today i told God i can't. so that He'll be my hero and say, it's ok because i can.

And He said it thru Skinny P. I confided in her today. And she said, "You know it's ok right?"

I didn't. But maybe now i know a little bit.

Yippppeeee!

Thursdays are great.

"He shall be like a tree, planted by rivers of water."


I fall at Your feet
Declare You're my King
I cast my cares before You
Your Peace shall reign in me


You're my covering
In You I have everything
You're all that I need
My world is complete

[D, Z , H @ Ichiban Esplanade ]


We celebrated Z's birthday last night. Everyone made time and were fairly punctual, in honour of Z, despite heavy work commitments. D, who's in Thailand, and J, who's nursing a surgically-altered knee were both dearly missed (but u both are well-represented on Z's card!) Look at Z's tee. It was our gift to her, along with another tee and a bear (named baba-something by H).


Me: So how, u like the tee?

Z: i love it, but how do i explain to my mum the words?

Me: Erm,,,,, maybe she won't notice?

Z: I don't think so....

H: Don't worry, just tell her that one of your friends had a farewell and made this tee for u.

When my brother returned from camp this morning i stopped him at the door and forced him to take a picture. So man hor?

Me: E, you're so cool hor?

E: Ya lor. Like you mah.

[the above conversation took place in my imagination]

He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, so my feet did not slip. - 2 Samuel 22:35-37

Cheryl to Nathan: I have everything i want when i have you.

[Nathan lives in One Tree Hill (the TV series)]

This is a great movie. If u have time to cuddle up to a loved one (no need bf, good friend(s) also very good) and u appreciate an interesting script, this is the show for u.

I'm listening to one of the songs from there "Way back into Love". Did u know that Hugh Grant can sing?!


Nathan, can u sing too?

This is one of the random photos i found of Corrinne May, on Corrinne May's blog.


Corrinne May makes me cry. Or rather, her songs do. Yesterday, P caught me by surprise by asking if i'd like to go watch Corrinne live at Barfly. And so i said yes!
Met up with P and her colleagues and friends. Although all i saw was the top of Corrinne's head most of the time, and her voice was drowned out by the crowd, I had a nice time in conversation with P and my new friends. In conclusion, it was a good night.

Barfly doesn't allow reservations when they have an event, which i think is a weird/dumb policy. A reservation will cause me to go for a particular restaurant since i know i'd have a seat. And should i be a deliquent customer, they can always give it up to the existing crowd. And if there's none, it just means they are lousy. And there's no loss either way. Sigh. Why don't people get it?

Anyway, thanks P. For enduring the long wait and seeing the top of her head and a weak drink calling itself a mojito. Yep, by the way, the drinks at Barfly are weak. Yep. Weaklings.


Love u all. It's Friday and i really really feel like crashing back into bed. Work cheryl work. You can do this.

one of numerous fond memories. =)

Me: Are u thinking what i'm thinking?

J: I've already done what u're thinking, slow-poks.



[J and me at L's wedding, also at Hyatt] [photo taken on 1 July 2007]






Rachel and Jen, this is for you (and for me too):


For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11

Me: So how's your food? Mine contains a joke that's why i'm smiling at my food.

Sis: Yea mine too. I needed a break from the laughing so i'm drinking some water.

[this is a random photo of my sis and i at T's wedding. Hyatt is a v nice place to have your wedding dinner. =) ]

I want to marry Nathan.

Lucas: You try to see the good in people. You give them the benefit of the doubt. Some people disappoint you. Some people surprise you.

There's something about Cheryl

This week is definitely a pick-up for me. It got off on a good start with shopping on Monday. I was on the way to the bank and i passed a shop having a sale. Here's the purchases:

1. a pair of pants for work
2. a satin-like shirt for work
3. a flowery skirt
4. another flowery skirt
5. a navy polo tee
6. a green polo tee
7. a Gap singlet (from pyjamas range)

All these came up to $75! ahahahhaha.


Other perks this week include meeting best friends for dinner, 3 new CDs from friend, and changes to look forward to. Thank you You.

Final perk: last night i fell asleep at 5pm. And woke this morning. What bliss. But i also think it's a hint that i'm wayyyy too tired during the week.

This post does not have a photo

This morning i had breakfast with my sis before going to work. I obviously had a late night the day before.



Sis: Why you carrying so many bags?


Me: Where got? (i only had ONE handbag)


Sis: There (points to my eyes).
