letter to miss yap hsiu lye from doggy heaven

DEAREST HSIU LYE,

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
and pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done,
for we know this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
but don't let grief then stay your hand,
for this day, more than the rest,
your love and friendship must stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
what is to come can hold no fears.
Would you want me to suffer? So,
when the time comes, please let me go.

It is a kindness that you do to me,
although my tail it's last has waved,
from pain and suffering I have been saved.

Do not grieve, it should be you,
who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Thank you for taking care of me these past 10 years...and don't you worry i'm in doggy heaven now...

love always
jelly bean

ps please don't cry anymore your friends are very worried for you...ok? and they told me to tell you that they love you very much and are thinking about you even you're in uk? cheer up!!! i love you always.

This is it!

Hello smoochies!

Just an update since my last stripper action.. haha.. And i've always got photos to put up here when i upload a post.. see.. my posts are exciting with visual effects..

Anyhow.. my life is bz bz as! At this very moment, i'm blogging from my office at uni. Well, let me explain.. a lot of ppl think as a PhD student.. i go for classes.. I actually don't. I'm in the research field. And i don't do lab work either. Because i do qualitative work.. so interviews, surveys, workshops is my kind of thing. :) . I've got my own work desk at the uni building. Has 4 cubicles... and 3 other students share them with me. Big office tho.. my desk is L-shaped.. n BIG! 2 of the other students rarely come in cos they are at the end of finishing their thesis. The other guy that sits opposite me is from my pharmacy yr. He's the smartest kid in my year.. so im a lil retarded being in the same room as him. But he's been very nice and helpful. And no.. i can't go for him because he's got a gf and he's planning to propose next mth! haha! So we are basically supposed to be at our work desk doing work of course (AND NOT BLOGGING)... during office hours.. so 9am-5pm. There are 20 other staff members on the same floor. We do interact with them and have to go through weekly meetings together.. like staff meetings. So i'm at uni 9-5 , Mon to Friday.. and then Friday after 5pm .. i go straight to work in the pharmacy and work till 9pm.. then i work Saturday 9am-5pm in the pharmacy or till midnight. And then I work Sunday from 9am to 9pm. And then the routine starts again on a Monday. Well , mind you.. i still manage to squeeze in probably 4 hours on Saturday nights to go out to the bars till 3am before i head to bed. Well.. sounds like i don't really have much of a life but someone's got to earn a living! LOL! Unfortunately, i'm still VERY SINGLE.. and i dont think i'll be attached anytime soon for the next 3 yrs.. possibly.. at this age.. omg.. how to find bf.. So i gotta be independent and learn to live on my own for a very long time!

I've been travelling a lot for my PhD. Conferences, meetings and organisations that i'm a part of. I represent South Australia's Young Pharmacists. So hey.. im still YOUNG alright.. Just went to Canberra last month, going to Sydney in October, Hobart and Melbourne in December. Hopefully i score a paper to be presented in one of the conferences in Canada or LA for the coming year.

Speaking of being independant.. the other exciting is.. I bought an apartment. Yes.. I sure did.. I have a car.. Now i have my OWN apartment.. something under my name. =P

It's a 2 bedroom apartment in a 4.5 star hotel. Some of the hotels here in Australia are privately owned. So it's still a hotel apartment.. but some units are occupied by residents. 40% of this buildling are residents. I currently live on the 4th floor (renting) privately.. but i bought one (bigger than this bloody one im living in) on the 7th floor. Not the highest floor (goes up to the 17th) but hey.. thats as much as i can afford for now! It's a 2 bedroom apartment.. and all the photos u see.. is how it looks. With the same furnishing. I'm changing the TV tho.. I own a 50 inch plasma.. so duh.. obviously that supercedes the other tv. I'm living on my own.. im using the other room as a guest room :) . So anyone who is coming to good ol boring adelaide.. let me know.. Ppl normally pay $250 AUD a night ok to stay in a 2 bedroom apartment in the hotel.. lol

Feast ur eyes!

I'm not moving in till September.. Probably want to do some renovations.. although no major ones.. haha.. I want to get some re-painting done..

So anywayssss... thats all from me now.. I can classify myself as pretty successful.. lol.. Degree, PhD, Job, Car, Apartment... only.. NO MAN!

xoxo

Hello boys and girls!

Hows everyone doing?
Everyone must be in their busy lives, waking up, sleeping, working, eating, snacking, kapchai-ing, teaching, stressing at work, bitching at work, thinking what beholds of us in a year, in 10 years, in 50 years, whats happening in our current relationships, burning muffins at work, the occasional dinner outings, coffee yada yada yada. Everyone is busy. but yes. this blog will not die bean!!! Because at the end of everyone's busy daily routine, when each of us will go to that bookmarked page of ours, and click on "chicas of 2001"
and when each of us are free, we will log in and put some taiwanese buff boyfriend's picture on the blog
hehehehehehe
so yes. this blog wont die ah bean.
and about you guys going on marathon, is making me feel like joining the marathon!
I was trying on my old pair of jeans the other day, and O.M.G ITS TIGHT OK
and worse still, i found a line a wrinkle line on my neck!!!!
who gets wrinkle in their 20s???????
damn! i have to share age defying creams with my mom!!!!

oh well hope all is well and miss all of you guys loads!

to be or not to be bean...

Hey hott chicas!

well, i just had to blog about this. after reading bean s post, i was just so excited when she asked if anyone wanted to run a marathon with her..and so, i picked up the phone..dialed her number..and when she picked up, she asked me, eh.. u wana do the marathon with me? and for a moment, i thought she could read my mind! i was so happy! i said yes yes!

well, u see, i ve always wanted to run the marathon..a personal challenge, i wanted to break the barrier in me myself. so, there i thought bean was also on the same page as me..and i was superexcited..until she said, eh..we do the 3.5 km one la..i was like WHAT?? eh woman..u know that a marathon is actually 42 km a? do 3.5km!! ?? what the? i jog 2 km everytime and i ve always wanted to try the 42km..i wanted to really go for training..work for it! wooohh! that feeling of completing a 42km run! it just sexcites me! ahahahahaha!

so yeah, bean s now considering to do the 10km one after much persuasion. if she s doing the 3.5km, i ll be sending snoopy to run with her. :)

anyways, life s been ok. work s stress..am sure everyone s feeling the same way too. so much work, so lil time, but still, i can still afford to blog from the office! ahahahaha! went out for 2 hr lunch break today..feeling really bad...but..sigh..not like they re gonna cut my salary anyways.

well, i ve had this vision. i wanna leave my job in 3 yrs time..and then start my own business. the kindergarten idea was brilliant..and i ve always wanted to be a wedding planner. oh yeah..if u guys wanna get married, i get give u extra savings! hehehe! anyways, yups..hopefully this couls be achieved in the next 5 years.

as for love life, i m happy. we re still learning lots about each other and he can accept me for who i am. i m hoping for the best but at the same time am preparing for anything worse. sometimes, in life's journey, there are rainy and sunny days. now, it s just a lil sunny for me..and hopefully those rainy days wont come as soon.

apparently, bean s a lil desperate for some actions in the room. she s just msn me saying that there s another marathon and in the goodie bag, they have 3 in a condom pack! now, i m really wondering, why does bean wana go for a marathon. bean being bean. oritey, better get back to work! am falling asleep already...damn...ahahah! okies..what happened to the rest? ms muffin in aussie?

lotsa hugs,
chris
meetup is a must!

Nooo!! this blog's notttt gonnaa diee!!! NO No NOooO~!!

How’s everyone doing? I am sitting in the office now, rushing some work, but yet at the same time, I miss you girls. So I m blogging…

I was browsing fb this morning and I stumbled across an ex-colleague’s fb status, his brother (should be younger than us or abt our age) has passed away (not sure due to what). Got me pondering, life’s jst too short and its unpredictable what tomorrow holds.

So, I guess what’s important is, we do what our heart feels right and we should live fully by the day, enjoy and cherish every moment of it. I want to die recalling of all the accomplishments I have made, with something happy to remember about. If your heart is telling you you’re not happy now, do something about it.

And about what I’ve been up to (which I hope each of you will spend 10 minutes blogging abt what you’re up to too), nothing much honestly.. except that, lately I am kinda indulged in running on a treadmill. Not too extreme though, could only run for 30minutes at most at speed 7.5 to 8kmph. I love the feeling of achievement after each run, feels so good! and the best is, when I weight myself this morning it’s the first time in 3-4 yrs I actually went back to 4(X) kg! and what’s next? I’ve been having thoughts about joining marathons and have started training for it. Anyone interested to join me for Siemen’s upcoming July’s marathon?

About work? I don’t know what could be better but yet, I still feel something is missing. I have a good work life balance now, 8.30am to 5.30pm job, gets to go to the gym sponsored by company after work, pay is good enough at this moment, unlimited access to junk food from office FOC vending machine… yet something is still missing which I hv no idea what is it. Till I findout, I’ll stay put at where I am..

RS? Feels like a dead fish. Imagine fireworks under the rain. We even hv less fights now. But, I don’t know if this is a good sign. What can I do to work on it? Feels abit tired. Really. He’s treating well, after 6 years and he’s still driving me around with no complaints, still giving me all his time, Monday to Sunday and every other evening. My parents and family are good with him, and my nephew adores him. Why am I even complaining? :S

And girls, you’ll be proud of me.. I have finally moved out of my shell.. I started driving around more boldly now. It’s a huge step for me. I used to be so afraid of driving that even the thought of it gives me nightmares. Glad I’ve overcome my fear, and hope it keeps getting better. I m truly slow to start.., steambun.

Finally after all these years, for the 1st time i get to tick a few items off my checklist of 2009 new year resolutions…

Btw, shall we meet up soon? Miss you girls loads.

topic of the day

hi everyone no lar we cannot let this blog die away man! its just that everyone's been busy and all ...... working studying..trying to sort their lives out and all....

oh well i was having supper with an old friend..just yesterday and i've always thought of him as the blurrest person and the slowest functioning man on planet earth..and oh well....but yesterday we were talking bout relationships and all...and he said something that struck me and probably i think is one of the smartest thing he has ever said to me after knowing him for like what 8 years already....ahhaha

well we were talking bout relationships and yea....how maintaining a HEALTHY relationship can be super hard...and slowly the spark might just burn off and the passion we once had has disappeared.... and we are merely in a relationship because we are afraid to die alone or just because we are afraid of change, or maybe somewhere in the back of our heads we thnk is he the best one for us? what if we can't find any other man as good as him? but what if i can? all the but's and if's .......


anyway my dear ol' friend said one thing one word ...he said he went around asking what is the success to a wonderful marriage.....

and he said there was this old man that said this to him..the key to a successful marriage is to be

UNFARMILIAR( just this one word)

because when you're always unfarmiliar you're at your best...you're afraid to offend the other person, you want to give your first impresion ( and first impressions are always the best/at your best) ....cause when you're farmiliar you can shout you can scream you can give shit or nonsense to the other person thinking that the other person can accept or is supposed to accept cause you've already known your other half for the longest time.....


so to all the oldies in relationships including me.......always be unfarmiliar with your other half......try it ....just for a day .....see what happens and blog bout it whether you can see the difference or not.....

love always,
suyin
