yaya can't help it but feel really empty at times...
I've lost motivation, and never had any direction.
I know life's unfair, and I'd accept it, cos I can't change how others' lives work out. I want to change mine, but I never got down to it and it didn't go the way I wanted it to.
Life goes on, whether someone enters your life or leaves from yours. I knew it all along, but I'm afraid to see it happening again, though it has happened again and again.
Knowing what I don't want to do but not knowing what I want to do is getting me nowhere. I don't know how to continue and I'm waiting for some heavenly intervention which may or may not happen.
I've lost patience and I'm starting to believe somethings will never happen. I'm getting scared... of things I cannot see or feel.
Life's never fair.

24 days more~~~
yaya is counting down to the day I leave for Taiwan!
'cos there's nothing else to look forward to. (minus the goodies from online shopping I'm waiting for...)
I'm yearning for a day or two off work... and I'm so tempted to take leave! *argh*
YJ says my mood for the day ranges from "tired" to "very tired" to "super tired". I think it can summarized in just one word : "exhausted".

rumblings...
This place is becoming largely dead... As with its owner... haha~
Not the latest I've discovered about myself... But I now know how lazy I can be.
Many weekends have passed (I gave up counting) since I told myself I should start to exercise.
My clothes are lying everywhere but in the wardrobe, and it's a challenge to find something to wear every day before I leave the house.
My Jap is growing rusty, though I did try to revise sometime 3 weeks ago (forgot most by now).
I'm really interested to learn (a) driving, (b) keyboard, (c) guitar. Maybe after I'm back from Taiwan.
The Taiwan trip is one month away, and the itinerary is still "in progress" of becoming complete. Argh...
Work's piling as if I've been on leave forever. Everyday I learn to do "magic" - I'm supposed to produce something that should have been done some 12 months ago. I really wish I'm on leave forever and ever. Mondays are the dreadest ever... The last Monday I survived... I was in office till 11pm with no dinner, no aircon in office, lack of sleep and lots of leftover work for Tues and probably the rest of the week. *sigh* Fridays have lost their charm, and Paydays are now no longer marked in my biological calendars. Sunday Nights come with servere disappointment and withdrawal symptons - I tend to refuse to sleep until well past midnight. Oops... Just realised that's what I'm doing right now.
Still recovering from the lack of sleep last night. Luckily tonight YJ pei wo go watch movie ("Date Night" is pretty funny... good for a relaxing Tuesday night out!). At least I had something to look forward to on a tired Tuesday~ haha.
What I learnt today? The world is small...

hiding from reality...
I admit I've been real lazy... That explains why this space is almost dead... again. (lol)
I'm losing interest in too many things. Nothing seems meaningful anymore...
Sometimes I wish I can just be the irresponsible girl which I've been locking up deep inside myself.
Sometimes I wish I can stop dreaming and get back down to earth.
Sometimes I want to stake all my money (i hate gambling!) and get huge profits without deserving it.
Sometimes I really hate myself (why?).
Sometimes, I just want to hide in the black hole and never come out.

100 分
“爸爸，你看！我拿到100分哦！”
小时候的我，曾兴致勃勃地跟爸妈炫耀无数个100分。
长大后，却发现，现实生活中，根本没有所谓的100分。
职场上， 又有谁真的做到100分？又是谁有权力去评估每个人的实力与努力？
生活上，设么才是100分？ 有多开心、有多少钱、有多少人爱，才算100分？
小时候的100分，好像根本微不足道。

lalala~
My dearest sister always asks me "Why are you watching brainless shows?"
Well... Why would I want to waste more of my brain cells after work? Brainless shows are, afterall, brainless enough to let me rest mentally. Even if it's 101 times of the same storyline, in 101 different settings and probably just 30 odd different faces... I will still get my much awaited dose of entertainment minus the headaches PLUS I get to forget about the work~ hee
work really drains me out everyday... i really miss jy & yj~ darlings come back quick... I MISS YOU GALS!
The baby just came and left as her temper gets worse nearing her bedtime... *kawaii*
sometimes being a baby is so 幸福!
baby loves the aircon too! *grinz*

depressed...
I don't want to admit it, but that's how I'm feeling now. And it's mostly, if not totally, due to the four letter word starting with "W" and ending with "K". I'm even 90% certain that the recent 39.1 deg fever on Monday is the unconscious reaction to the depression... maybe THAT is why the cough is still not subsiding...
*cough cough*
i need some light... to see the future.

1 in 8,145,060
yaya's dream: to become financially independent. [Financial independence is when you are able to live indefinitely without having to work actively for money.]
most probable & fastest way to reach that... Toto! But well.. what are the odds? 1 in 8,145,060.
The number looks scary and mysterious. But it is, afterall, just simple maths. And it's all explained here. OMG... It's such a simple concept but it took me quite a while to see it... REALITY.
yaya says bye to her dream 1.5mil... it was never meant to be mine.

Happy Birthday!
Yaya had a wonderful bday! (minus the fact that I'm older by one year, but I can always continue to deceive myself that I am 15 every year.)
I'd love to post photos of the pleasant surprise my colleagues gave me... (if only I can bring a camera to work) Thanks peeps for the balloons and card ^^ I was so touched to see the happy birthday balloon chain! Thanks!!!
I spent my half day leave with my sister~~~ and I've received a beautiful mirror from her! =) the music box thingy was really cool! It has many dots & as you wind it the music will play!!! We liked it a lot and my sister bought one for me! =) This one sings "beauty and the beast"~ *hugs hui* (if she ever lets me)
I'm playing with picasa to get the collage done... and its so hard! JY is so pro lah... all her collages look so pretty... mine's rather amateur... ok~ better than nth eh? =P

The Shift
In a unfortunate twist of events, I was evicted from my once cosy 2m x 3m room to occupy half of a 10.7 square-meters room with my little sister. She insists that I occupy more than half the room - which MAY be true... considering my stuff are now unceremoniously dumped in bags around the corners of the room.
I'm now exploring ways of furniture arrangement so as to maximise the limited space. I've tried (in vain) to influence the lunch-go-where decisions of my colleagues, to some-how steer them towards the nearby IKEA. I'll try again tomorrow *grinz*
In the meantime, I'll just have to dig through the bags every day. Lol... it's not that bad, I can survive the mess once I managed to squeeze out a space for the computer. 'cos I really cannot survive without the computer... It's not how much I love my 23" LCD, but it's all the entertainment it gives me - the not-so-exciting FB games, the draggy korean/taiwan/hk/jap dramas, the occasional You-tube surfing, the rare blogging etc. (oops) However, I've not watched a SINGLE episode of ANY drama since The Shift, cos someone who shares the room needs to mug in SILENCE. Well well... I guess I can't complain when I don't have 11 readings to do for the first tutorial... *Gambatte* I'll try to survive without shows for a while then...
It's the time of the year again, and I hope everyone will start asking me out! Lol...and I realise I've not posted a birthday wish list since my 21st bday! It is time to post it, and I hope I get all of them ^^

五月天！
yaya's so into 五月天！The concert was really good~ and the girls' chat after the concert was really nice too... it's been a long time since I really let down my hair and go crazy for a while... that explains why I'm still awake at this ungodly hour, putting my thoughts from the concert down before I procrastinate and forget about it again. Hee...
Watching the concert at Indoor Stadium brings back many memories... There is just so much work behind any concert, much less to say for such a large-scale pop concert. The high-tech globe screen was cool! And I love the light effects and how it all goes so nicely with the music. The screenplay that told the story behind the "D.N.A." concert was entertaining, and a wonderful start to the concert.
I'm impressed with the stamina of the guys... There were no guest performers to create a break for the guys to rest, but they were able to make everyone high for the whole 4+hrs (they sang till past 12am). I know they're tired, but thanks for making it happen. =)
It's a pretty scene with all those flying confetti.. but pity the guys who were busy creating the effect, loading the confetti onto the huge fans... all these hardwork and so much more... to make the concert a success.
While I enjoy the luxury of being the audience, I wonder how it would really feel to be the one performing on stage. How would it feel, to be one of the few performing, vs. one of the thousands watching. The fond memories of the many performances in my school days seem to come back all at once.
I think I better go to sleep... I've got Jap lessons tomorrow morning at 10am~ *yawns*

mumbles...
yaya wants to blog, but there are so many thoughts going on in my head that I hardly know what I should write. haha...
I can't complaint about work (lest my name appears in the internal corp comms emails to the bosses), so I'll have no choice but to complaint about life... or the lack of it. I wonder what happens to all the precious hours I have after work... Since I sleep late (around 12 each night) and I reach home relatively early (7+pm)... by right I should have up to 4.5 hours each night. Minus the necessary makan time (1 hr) and the bathroom singing (0.5hr), I should have 3hours each night! And each day, these golden hours are spent in front of the computer - be it FB, FB games, shows (I've run out of decent shows to watch!)... OMG! that's how NO LIFE my life is! sobs...
However, when I think about it, I realise I do feel more attached to the family than before. The days of hostel life has made me realise how much I love my family and my home... Just being at home, knowing that Daddy, Mummy, Grandma and Hui is rotting at home with me... That's already such a blessing... mushy huh? but yeah, that's the truth. =) Hostel can be scarily lonely when my darling roomy is not around.
There are more things (totally unrelated) running through my mind... but in order not to make this post look too "rojak", I guess I'll stop here. Happy wkends~ looking forward to 五月天!!!
我知道我不应该执着于过去，但我却看不到未来。这样的我，什么时候才会长大？

yaya's getting lazy...
Just look at the number of posts on this page... I've gotten lazy to blog. That's the best evidence. No photos... I'm lazy. (It seems like no one else has uploaded photos fr the farm stay as well... ha!)
I went to batam & turi beach resort last last wk end (yes... the long wk end with national day). YJ & JY are fun to hang out with =) turi is pretty! (minus the not-so-clean pool) the rooms are nice, with 4 poster beds & mosquito nets, but still... the mosquitoes are invincible. I'd love to post photos, but knowing how lazy I am, I think they'll never make it to this page. lol... maybe i can wait for JY to post & I'll jus give a link. ha ha.
Work's suffocating... and the wonderful thing is I cannot complain on FB anymore. Boss has recently become my fren on FB... *sigh* so I'll just rattle on here, on my little space which I've come to realise i dun really care if anyone's reading... seems like a lot of ppl are too busy to read blogs, not to mention I'm not exactly popular. haha...
I think I need a break, though I've just been back from one. Work's really discouraging these days. I've tried so hard to talk myself into thinking of the money... but nowadays the event "pay day" does not keep me excited for more than 2 days. THIS is sad. I don't know what to look forward to anymore. HELP!
I'm supposed to be working... (YES! I've brought the lappie back to do some work...) But I've yet to start. *long sigh*~~~~~~

Agri-tour~ once in a lifetime!
I've not felt so tired since a looong time ago~ went on a farm-hopping tour with nellers... to my astonishment, there are so many farms ard the LCK area and the whole place doesn't feel like the familar Singapore...
Too bad the room in the farm stay resort was too small~ (no much walking space at all...) else i would gladly have spent the entire day in the aircon room~ But well, visiting farms is not something you'd catch me doing out of my own interest... so thanks to the nellers for dragging me on my first ever (and i dun think i'll be doing it again in the near future) farm-hopping journey...
d'kranji (nth exciting at all)> farmart (some shops, no bees viewing, sadly) > vege farm (the baby dragonfruit is sooo kawaii) > koi farm (lots & lots of kois, in all sizes. saw an interesting species with wing-like flaps) > qian fu (dragonfish, lobster, goldfishes... fish spa! - super ticklish! & long kau fishing~) > bollywood veggies (lots of vege, spices, bananas etc) > agrotech farm (grows aloe vera, edible cactus, wheatgrass, mushrooms - yaya bought wheatgrass cereal.. i hope it's nice...) > Jurong frog farm (i thought this was boring... if only the frogs become princes... THAT would be interesting! hee) > Gardenasia (this is a much better farmstay... looks like bali-style villa with swimming pool even... looks expensive too... anyway, check out the rocking chairs by the pond beside the bistro =P )
We wanted to go to the goat farm (Hay Dairies) but it closes at 4pm! way too early~ i guess the goaties need sleep~ oh! and Sungei Buloh closes at 7pm too! (we arrived at the gates at 7pm, to find it locked~) The pottery (can't remember the name... it's the one near NTU) closes at 5pm... so basically, farm-hopping have to stop around 6pm~ for those planning~ start early! =)
9 places in a day! cool! but tiring! I think I've got enough farms for a lifetime... I guess Agri-tainment is not my cup of tea.. I need a shopping trip soon =P

the line between reality and fantasy
说起来真好笑。。。
偶像剧，看多了也许真的会中毒。
有时我会矛盾地否定自己，告诉自己，那都是假的。电视里的世界，它是虚构的，但同时也是真实的。也许，这种不现实就是我想要追求的，让自己在喘不过气的现实生活中，有一个逃避的管道。可是，那种希望，都是假的。
我讨厌活在没有希望的现实中。我讨厌，这个没有梦想，没有目标，没有志气的自己。
陈思雅，你的人生，好假。

Nihon & Nihongo
I miss Japan!
Met a dear colleague of mine on the bus to work today (the ever crowded 145)... and we started to talk about her latest trip to Japan~ and once I get started, I can't stop talking about my experiences in the land of the rising sun... It seemed just not so long ago that I was walking along the streets in Tokyo and Kyoto, exploring the Himeji castle, admiring the Kobe street light-up, splurging all my yen (& credit cards) on the shops up the slope to Kiyomizu-dera, crazily taking many many photos with the red maple leaves, blah blah blah... Oh, I am starting at it again... lolx
Perhaps it would be good to one day move to Japan! The emotional side of me wants to go back to the island and spend happy days, but the practical side of me wants me to count my dollars (or the lack of it) first. Haha... Well, first things first, I am gonna start taking Japanese lessons soon! *yay* Gambatte!
Pei Shi-san, gomenasai... Can't wait for you to take Jap together... The sunday lessons which were supposed to start end June seemed to be missing in action... My little sis got a little tired of waiting... I think there probably won't be a Sunday lesson for Beginner 1 until sometime in August... (I heard that the teachers are not very keen to teach on Sundays... So...)
I'm starting lessons next wk =P and so I've been "a i u e o"-ing pretty often... Lucky for me, YJ & JY are little experts in Jap! I have 2 more sensei to teach me! & pei wo "a i u e o"! Thanks darlings! =)
yaya wonders... is there really a recession? How come the PC show is flooded with people every day?! Things are not so cheap, but sales are not so low either~

L.O.V.E.
I heard over the radio today… a story that left me both heartened & disheartened at the same time.
A 92-year-old man had re-married a 85-year old woman in Taiwan. They were separated for over 60 years due to the war. After the war, the husband settled down in Taiwan while the wife was in China. They both went on to marry a second partner and start their own families, until both partners past away. It was in 1993 that the man found his ex-wife in China and brought her and her son to Taiwan to stay with him. The husband felt that he had not fulfilled his duties as a partner and vowed to re-marry the woman he had loved for so long.
It’s touching to see true love, even after 60 years of separation. So much can happen in 60 years. People change after 6 years, much less to say 60 years! Unwavering love… It’s a miracle it happens!
But I see the other side of the story too. Both the man and woman went on with their lives after the war. They found new partners, formed their own families and lived separated for 52 years. If the so-called "true love" had been in their hearts all along, isn’t it unfair to the second partner who actually lived with them for such a long time? Is there really space in one’s heart for more than one special person?
Is time a proof of one’s love? Or is time a test of love?
