"I will destroy her," N said, clenching her hands in anger.And when I looked into her eye, I saw the determination and seriousness of those words. And I knew. She was not kidding nor was she all talk and no action. She was for real.So you know what, S?

I am sick of this. The only reason I am coming through with it is because I had promised myself to make this memorable for him. And nothing less than "positively memorable" is what I will strive for.But you know what? Another commitment broken just goes to proof the kind of person that you are; and, trust me, none of that is positive. Of course, it did not help that you were out of my good book a

Screw retail therapy. It is only temporary and burns a hole in your bank account.Screw food therapy. It is just as temporary and not only does it burn a hole in your bank account; it also causes unnecessary ailments and fats to yourself.Screw any form of therapy because it usually means money and running from one place to another.And I do not have time to be rushing all over Singapore.

Anything but Malay.Not that it is a bad thing, though, because some attention to one whose self-esteem has been on an all-time low these days is good for the, errr, self-esteem.

Bless your hearts; you've made me happy again.The day began with an impossibly crazy day at work that saw me running around the office half the time, as opposed to actually being at my desk and completeing whatever paperwork I had set out to do. So when the clock promptly struck six, I heaved a sigh of relief and left punctually for the first time in weeks.The occasion? Meeting up with my beloved

After a long discussion with my superior over a seemingly easy case with bad testimonials, I emerge triumphant once again when I pointed out a few issues that he had overlooked and which rendered our clients' version, well, a tad unfeasible. Not that that was a good thing because now we are back at one, filling out the few loopholes for our case.But then, there is nothing like knowing your work

They don't know you like I do.Because when the night is filled with melancholic melodies that reach out into the most vulnerable part of myself, your smile and touch can do wonders to heal this bruised soul.The only thing missing is the "Y-O-U" in "your".Need I say more?

So, once again, Diaryland is down. Not that I am complaining because it was not like I had anything much to update between then and now anyway, save for that memorable day that was last Saturday.But then, I decided to keep it under wraps on second thoughts. Simply because I still have my pride and pouring my heart out and making myself vulnerable to possible mockery when things do not turn out as

When I left, it was not because I was unhappy.There was that thirst for knowledge. The hunger to learn and achieve more than I have. It felt so right - "I am still young, I need to venture, I need to experience more." And there was that small matter of that ego; all because I was h-e-a-d-h-u-n-t-e-d.But was it a mistake? Because it damn sure feels like the biggest mistake I have ever made.The

I am sick of living on thin ice and I am sick of YOU. I am sick of you picking on my brother to get to me. Leave him out of this; you are unhappy with me so leave it between US. Not that you would ever be reasonable or understanding on this issue, anyway.Is it a wonder, then, why I am hardly around these days?Word of caution: Don't make me break your spirit.********************Okay, enough angst

Matchmaking attempt gone wrong. Simple reason being that both parties were related, so one did not turn up. What a riot! I think I should stick to planning parties, agreed?So aside from the failed matchmaking attempt, dinner was good. Arnold's Fried Chicken. Making plans for the next meeting.

And I shall not mince my words here.I can do without people who acknowledge my presence only because they require help from me. People to whom I am, otherwise, non-existent. They are not friends or even acquaintances yet they are not the enemy. They are just there for me to tolerate.Well, then. I have had enough of tolerating people like you, you and you.

I am so drained these days, I cannot keep my eyes open or my brains working by the end of the day. It does not help that I have not been sleeping early due to late homecoming as a result of tuition or work, causing my dinnertime to be pushed back. Sleeping immediately afterward would cause me an indigestion so bad, it actually gives me nightmares and I would be as good as not sleeping.As my

On behalf of my superior, I was asked to interview a client for a new case. Familiar as he seemed to me, I did not think to ask him if I knew him from somewhere.The interview went smoothly, the client spoke intelligently and was charmingly polite and I still could not place his familiarity.It wasn't until said client had left that a colleague told me I had just interviewed a celebrity, more

I once said that I could plan mini events or surprise parties that actually come through. Well I guess I justified this claim for this week alone, I organised a surprise birthday celebration for Nisha, a colleague and an impromptu one for Irah, a friend's daughter.More here for Irah's and here for Nisha's.

Being babysitter for the past few days have triggered the maternal instincts in me. Now, I wonder if my parents will crumble under the pressure of my youngest brother and I pestering them for another sibling. I bet it'll be much easier on them, despite having to begin the nurturing process all over again.What say you?

It has been a very tiring day, what with hyperactive cousins, nephews and nieces. Nevertheless, it has been a wonderful day despite me missing my younger brother greatly. With that said and done, I wish one and all, on behalf of my family, Salam Aidilfitri 2005 and Maaf Zahir Batin - because I know that my words can be hurting sometimes.

You are such a liar with blatant disregard for all that I have done for you, notwithstanding that I did not have to do it.

The day started with a medical appointment at Changi General Hospital and to thank my youngest brother for accompanying me, I treated him to dinner at Breeks; after which we proceeded to Paya Lebar to meet our mum for some Hari Raya Aidilfitri shopping. Very much needed after that huge dinner the both of us had.

'Twas time we started preparing for Ramadhan. Aside from the religious preparations, which are a must, the elimination of weird cravings top the list. And elimination of (a fraction of) our cravings is just what we did as a good friend and I made our way to Suntec City for a feast at Secret Recipe.A feast it definitely was, as we left the place feeling extremely happy and delightfully bloated.

On the eve of Singapore's National Day, four beautiful girls, also known as "Black Cat's Kittens" or, more commonly, "Assomull's Angels", finally met up together after more than half a year. As is the usual case with gal pals who have not met for eons, there was an overflow of gossips, catching up, jokes - both dirty and otherwise and plain loud fun. What better way to usher in Singapore's 40th

Lunch was a wonderfully bloated experience with my colleague at a vegetarian charity restaurant located in Excelsior Hotel, courtesy of my former superior. Said colleague and I then digested our excessive remains the old-fashioned way - exercising. In the form of walking up 22 storeys, no less.Thank you, Mrs N. Lunch was a truly enjoyable one for a food junkie such as I.

The weekend promises to be the perfect antidote for a social life that has come to a standstill. I like! But I shall not place my hopes too high or elaborate further because doing so (almost) always jinxes everything.

It's about time I keep a guidebook - The Dummy's Guide To Getting Out Of Unwanted Dates/Gatherings. I tell you, it will be so useful for someone who never comes up with good excuses such as I. Then again, it is not like I need it very often anyway so I will get by.I think.

Happy and feeling extremely intelligent as I discussed with and advised my superior on the further course of action for a particular problem file. Thank you Mr Superior, your compliment has warmed me greatly, just as I was feeling a little insecure about my capacity as a Legal Executive.

Numb, because a former colleague passed away on Monday and although I never knew her well enough to strike a proper conversation save for "hello" and "goodbye", my heart aches nevertheless.Glad, because I may have just saved a cousin's friend from having his insurers repudiate liability against him. Being in the legal line, equipped with (most of) the legal knowledge in the world, is rewarding

I interview the funniest and most dramatic taxi drivers sometimes. They truly make my day with their mannerisms that, to me, are rather out of this world.

Yes, blame me for that, why don't you? And while you are at it, blame me for every other mistake that happened to be your own too. If I did not respect you for guiding me during my stint at the other firm, I would have let you have a taste of that sarcasm I am (in)famous for; you have just been lucky so far.Just one question - If you could remember Friend 1's birthday, why is it my fault that you

So The Brother has been posted to Tekong for his eight months training stint as a sergeant (infantry leader?). It is back to ranting and raving for Big Sister as she, once again, gets to see her brother only once a week. Bleah.On the other hand, this makes two sergeants in the family now - one in National Service and the other, in National Cadet Corps. Oh, how proud we should be. *ROLLS EYES* But

7th June 2005 marked the start of tuition sessions with a colleague's 9 year old son. And if this is going to be long term, her son may just end up without a cheek and/or skinny. I had to refrain myself several times from squeezing the little bugger despite sanctions from his own mother to do so. How she knew I would be so taken by him, I will never know.Yan Kai, you are one adorable guy. I am

Getting food poisoning is the pits. You clear your bowels like it's the only thing you can do and at the end of it, your legs turn to jelly. Shucks. And I so wanted to stay away from the doctor after he tried making a pass at me.

The computer's being such a pain; what with pop-ups and more pop-ups. And it's no wonder. After more than two years, it's about time we changed the thing anyway. Trouble is, the whole family's too attached to the darn thing and so it may just be another two years before we got around to doing anything about it.Lucky bugger; you get to stay with five lovely people for awhile longer. Heh.

For a hotel's standard, Grand Plaza Parkroyal had pretty mediocre-tasting food amongst just as mediocre service. Then again, I wasn't there for the food but the joy of just having lunch with the colleagues. The atmosphere, stress-relieving at the very least, and joyful, pretty much cancelled out the bland food.Thank you, Mr A, lunchtime was an excellent hour for me.

Further to the previous entry...Isn't it amazing how the boss' compliments and supposed good impression of one can unconcern one to the unfairness of being blamed for something one was not at fault for?"You don't seem to have registered what I'm saying, Irda. Do you have anything to add?"And the reply was a simple, "Only that I don't think it's fair to blame me for a mistake someone else did."Oh,
