Cyclone in myanmar and earthquke in China, just one after another. It seems like the world is getting even more complicated now as the world shrinks. It was reported in the papers that the particular ancient dam in Dujianyuan survived the tremors except for a few minor repairs required... Take note, that is a dam made of bamboos. What about those moden ones? Signs of collapsing are showing and yes, they may collapse soon, for real! Does that mean we, moderners with so much more to offer in technology are still not as good as the good old days where things and concepts and way of lfe are being kept simple? Does that mean we, the modernists are becoming less intelligent when life and thinking were less complicated? As technology advances, the world gets smaller, everyone gets closer but in turn, creating a greater virtual distance, our thinking becomes more complicated, and way of life turns into a turmoil, filled with complexity.

The feeling wasn't nice at all. The same pain I felt when I lost someone dearly a few years ago. It felt more than just a stab in the heart. It was filled with so much emotions that I don't even know what I'm feeling now. It was such a deep wound that tears filled it all up. Blood ran dry. It's only left with the carcass of an empty soul. The huge bubble has disappeared right before my eyes. It is all gone for good. The pain stays. http://lovelycris.multiply.com/journal/item/86/Pain Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:10:03 -0000 Loving & Living Ohh.... It's almost 7 months and how time flies! Matty and I are great. The girls are still living it large, less partying, I reckon. The recent flu bug got quite a few sickie and fragile on the fast lane.... Anyway, work is getting pretty mundane, though keeping me busy.... Work, nowadays, has become more of a chore rather than something that I enjoy... Am in the midst of looking for part time studies - degree in PR/Communication. RMIT, seems it is! I want to get out of there! I want to try something new and I am sure I can live it up to new challenges. I've been hanging out in the kitchen more often than I had always been... I am a diploma graduate in Hospitality Management (during which I didn't fancy Culinary module back then) and am actually enjoying my cooking stints every now and then with Matty. He really got me into it...

What Cris Means You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almo... http://lovelycris.multiply.com/journal/item/84/Cris Sat, 26 Jan 2008 09:40:00 -0000 Defeated........Am I? I reckon, I am defeated. Bruised and numb. It's all a blur now, as if i've woken up from my dream, vaguely having any recollection. I'm so tired of the viscious cycle. Why isn't there an end to it? All's been said and done and it has been officially turned into a monthly affair. I'm tired. I am thoroughly disappointed with myself. What else can I do seeing it happening again? It takes two hands to clap and I don't wish to do anything this time. There never was an ultimatum. It's a compromise but somehow we're back to square one. It hurts when the same thing hapened again for the third time, what's the point of having it resolved but would surface AGAIN a month later? I wished I was PROVEN WRONG. Yes, I wished. How does it feel when one is being seen differently by others in their eyes? I am who I am. If you don't like what you see, get lost. I am not here to please anyone or trying to be someone that they think I should be. No, not in this lifetime. It is even mor... http://lovelycris.multiply.com/journal/item/82/Defeated........Am_I Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:44:05 -0000 Sweet moments of life so far... <A href="http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/Rue2ygoKCs0AAC5dcDo1"><IMG class=alignleft src="http://images.lovelycris.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rue2ygoKCs0AAC5dcDo1/DSC00212.JPG?et=%2C6GaGJOX39DTYuwS0uSmug" border=0></A>I adore every moment of my life till this very moment except for that persistent headache that does not seem to go away since 12 nn...

A few bumps earlier in the first half of the year but life have since gotten so much better, especially with Matty, around. It's awesome. I feel like a princess all the time and I love it. Happy for Fi too, and finally, I can stop bugging her every now and then to see if she's still alive! Haha! You go girl! Nora.... my drama mama queen... time to slow down on work. She's shooting for a quickie getaway, lovely! Red.... She's one who makes me laugh at the most random moments.

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 10:07:50 -0000 Mourning and grieving.... An article in the Sunday Times brought tears to my eyes. A couple who lost 3 babies and having to put through such grief is definitely not easy. The first child was a stillborn and so wasthe second, and the third child died 36 hours later, All were born prematurely. It was such a heart-wrenching aricle to read. I doubt I can survive such an ordeal one afte another. I thought to myself, how precious and fragile life can be. FRAGILE, INDEED! I faced the first death of someone young and precious when i was 3 years ago. It was a path hard to travelled on. The grief was tremendous and even till today, it hurts when I thought about it. That death of that particular someone has etched deeply in me till the end of life. 2nd death was of my young cousin who died of leukamia. She was one brave girl, who was born with Down Syndrome and has always seen life with so much enthusiasm. No one in the family had ever thought different of her. Her last moments remained vivid in my mind: In ICU, wit... http://lovelycris.multiply.com/journal/item/80/Mourning_and_grieving....

Almost all weekends are noisy, full of programs and involving everyone. The weekend before which I aptly name "That Last Weekend" reached the maximum of my tolerance that some peace is urgently required. It has not been easy, putting up with the crazy weekend antics, one after another, and loud bangs and knocks and shouts early in the morning *how's that being awaken at 7 or 8am to blasting music???* and before the next crazy sunday program starts. Wanted a quick getaway from everyone but things didn't turned out my way. Too late and too pricey to book for flights at the last minute, can't make up my mind which accommodation to take up. Location, location.... vietnam, cambodia, phuket, tioman, samui, bali (i'm going there in oct so nope!), and the last desperate measure, even bintan, didn't even make things easier for us.

Both mommies and daddy sent us off to the airport... It's been so long since I last took a picture with daddy. This is a classic. Matty's pop picked us from the airport and bad weather upon the first day of arrival... I quikly warmed up to his family members. Very lovely indeed. We shopped, dined and wined and party and lazed, horrendous amounnt of beer consumed... I finally laid my hands on one pint of Guiness on the last night before returning to singtown. Proposed ideas whilst in sydney: Zoo, Aquarium, Bridge climb, Bondi, Opera House etc... They did happened somehow, we just hit the bar straight away... *MATTY, you're lovely. If you were to change job, tour guide should not be one of your most desperate options. I had a really wonderful time with him and of course, meeting my cousin, missing her so much!

The zoo which I wanted to go (Cuz said skip it as Mandai zoo is better), his other proposed attractions: the aquarium which his lil' sweetie niece loves it, the harbour bridge climb (he claimed too cold and beer's good), darling harbour, opera house... all been there done that from the views from many different bars to make my mark only. Haha, not forgetting beers in hand. The beer labels that read low carbs did not make me feel too good either, imagine the amount of beer consumed? I miss my guinness.   He took trains with me, no gruntles from my big giant at all. Not his usual. Haha! Oh it was such bad weather on the 1st day of arrival. Jeez. Stayed in and went to Burwood for Italian food.

Rugby season kicked off last saturday. Watched the match where Bucks & Bedok Kings competed. Bucks didn't have that much luck for the first game. Afterall, a good game, otherwise. The players ended up with rashes on em'! Ewww.... head off to clarke quay to continue the night.... i made muffins, blueberry muffins... second time baking. Not too bad, i thought. Need to work on it more! What ya expect when I've to whisk manually *without the great inventions of machine operated whisk and blender? Tough job. Blueberry and cuppies aside, had lamb roast last night, yummy, under the magic hands of matty. EXCEPT  i forgot about snow peas as i was too stressed out searching for the gravy at the supermarket. <A href="http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RqhfyAoKCnYAAFpAEz41"> <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.lovelycris.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RqhfyAoKCnYAAFpAEz41/SANY1336.JPG?et=5nu63xCRX%2BQa2DaNbhM86w" border=0> </A>  <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.lovelycris.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RqhgKAoKCnYAAFvQTFg1/SANY1329.JPG?et=6xNCMAtZSOphqya%2BLqhZGQ" border=0>  <A href="http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RqhhPQoKCnYAAHH7j501"> <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.lovelycris.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RqhhPQoKCnYAAHH7j501/SANY1365.JPG?et=SVTaAm320UgXamhlxlTlgg" border=0> </A><A href="http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RqhgdAoKCnYAAGEzteg1"> </A>Last but not least, the most unwilling party to hop on the bus..................

The beach, best taxi ride ever (and the worst for the same ride), the girls & James Evans' 25th! Last Saturday was just a day that was never meant to be. Went to corduroy & finch for lunch and main course took more than an hour after the waffles was served. Tomato soup was awesome! So sexy! Service, don't see any. We left and the 2 big babies were hungry. Hopped on that fateful taxi which took pretty long to reach the next destination. Have you ever taken a taxi ride that is only moving at its fastest speed 45km? I'd mine. I took a picture to commemorate that special moment in my life. Going uphill was only 20km. I was glad that the taxi did not go back downhill! 2 course dinner for Matty. Salad and Pork chops. A bottle of wine. Never made it through the entire Smokin' aces and for the record, watching it 3 times was a feat! What's the story line again??? Some recent nights out with the girls and Jen who has flown back to Europe. Hopefully coming back soon! All fun and love. http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/album/88/So_full_of_it_The_beach_best_taxi_ride_ever_and_the_worst_for_the_same_ride_the_girls_James_Evans_25th Tue, 17 Jul 2007 13:52:50 -0000 Great weekend n more to come! <A href="http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RpzHBgoKCnYAAAODImY1"></A><A href="http://lovelycris.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RpzFigoKCnYAAGmtwAw1"><IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.lovelycris.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RpzFigoKCnYAAGmtwAw1/Jen%2011.JPG?et=o%2Bfy2DbwTj9jSUDyfzfEtQ" border=0>   Jen's night   <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.lovelycris.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RpzGagoKCnYAAHifKe41/SANY1346.JPG?et=FX%2C3DuP%2C7inFQi5Vl7zv%2Cw" border=0> James Birthday @ New Asia </A>The past weeks have been so wonderful, indeed. Hunter whizzed by singtown for the weekend before jetting off to sydney again. Catch up for a few drinks and some shopping... and hearing him talking about maldives trip, awww i'm so envious. Night out with Jen before she left for Europe. Save the guinness for me in Dublin! I've been taking my time to smell the roses... oh lovely. Back is healing fast except for aching muscles still. Nothing major. A few nights staying in and me trying to cook up a storm in the kitchen!

For the record, just not too keen on the boy. No one is ostracising our dearest sweetie. No one is asking for 24/7, we've our own life too, better things to do in life. We love and care for one another, with a few concerns in mind, that's all. For our dearest sweetie and we give no damn about anyone else. *don't get me wrong, we love ya still! That aside, life's been great, been wakeboarding for the past few weekends and hey hey, I have been doing quite well on riding. thanks to myles and kev! And something gotta happened like when i was looking forward to the next riding session! Hmmm slipped and fell and landed tail bone (coccyx) first. Jeez. My lower back and the left side is sore, hinders each and every of my movement. I'm like an old woman now, yes, my favourite catchphrase of the month: GENTLE ON THE BACK! I'm happy on my own, taking it time slow to heal (right)!

The portrayal of one speaks volume... Sometimes, it can't be helped when the other gets the whole idea wrong... Missy T spoke to me recently about being floaty-grounded-substance theory 1. Being floaty... It's easy being floaty... No specific goals, at a total loss. Aimless soul! One don't know what he/she wants. Gets excited easily. No one will take him/her seriously, in terms of work or relationships. There seems to be a lack of belonging... 2. Being grounded There are a few goals in life. Passing on the phase being floaty... to the next level. Knowing what's good and WHAT'S not. One has walked through that mist. 3. One with Substance... It is as if one has attained nirvana. Others would think twice talking about you. Substance is one thing hard to grasp in life. It comes from within. You can't measure via monetary terms. Don't want to bonk anyone with too much words. You got the geist of it, good eno... http://lovelycris.multiply.com/journal/item/71/Floaty_grounded_and_with_Substance Tue, 12 Jun 2007 07:59:52 -0000 Random and full of it Nice one... out sailing and tried riding again after a few months! Slowly picking up the pieces... Met Kev and Myles. Buster, the lovely dog... didn't get his pic but soon, will post it up! Hee. Some other pics with the girls and mark, z, ross. With mama and the girls too, for the birthday celebration. Mama is quite cool hanging out with mates. Vick brought me to Batam on my birthday.. Thank you! A big tub of sangria, still sitting in my fridge... Wonderful lunch, and pretty cheap. Checked out one resort on a different part of Batam, Turi Resort, thought there'd be something interesting, really quiet over there but equipped with nice pool facilities. Decided to move off for seafood lunch, it was great! Yummy!
