250th entry.

ilurvetoshop.blogspot.com - 250th entry.

According to my dashboard, this will be my 250th entry. I wonder how many of you followed through all my 250 mindless doodles, incessant whinings and emotional rides (oh oh.. and my many photo-whoring sessions).

Anyway, if you are still with me every now and then, I say Thank You.

3 days ago, I received an email from this person who happened to see me on my way to work. Apparently he reads this blog and recognises me. Although he didn't approach me (which I'll probably freak out and run away), it feels kind of weird to have someone drop you an email like that.

The point is while I always try to convince myself only people in my immediate community reads what I write here, it isn't really the case, evident from people I don't really know asking Collin if we are okay (the previous squabbles) and this. I still think blogging is a public yet private affair, but it doesn't stop me from blogging about personal issues.

Zonghan once said, "Blogging is a self glorification process."

I don't know how the existence of this blog glorifies me. In fact, blogging makes me feel I got really bad english and limited vocabulary. Ok.. That's aside the point.

I guess in this bloggersphere, consciously or not, we reveal a portion of ourselves which we want people to see. Some of us more truthful, some tend to be more fictitious. For me, this blog's a outlet for pent up frustrations, a shout-out space for those words i never say to the ones I really treasure, a channel for you guys to update yourselves about my life (and possibly a rich source for your bitching sessions), a place to manifest my love for myself (bwah)... In a way, it marks my growth.

From a blogder's point of view, following a blog makes one feel as if he/she is able to relate to the blogger's emotions, even if it is someone you don't know. At least that's how I feel and I marvel at how it makes someone so strange(r) feels so close, as if you are knowing the person at a personal level. You watch that stranger grow.

Maybe this explains the draw of blogging and reading blogs.

(I don't like to tell people how they should think, but I can tell you how you can think. We shouldn't undermine how people choose to lead their lives. I won't argue with you 'cause I'll be undermining how you think life should be lead, right? I think we can all try to be more receptive.)

If you don't understand what I have been saying, it's ok. Just some random thoughts which I hadn't make complete sense outta as yet.

Some updates:

The possibility is there that I MIGHT GO BANGKOK AGAIN!!! with the Starhub babes in mid-August (?). That's Xiang, Dorkie and Yiyi. Right now, we are frantically trying to slot a weekend getaway (so that we can go Chatuchak, or how ever it is spelt). We are so desperate the current plan is to leave on a Friday evening (after Yiyi and my afternoon lessons) and come back on Monday morning (before Yiyi's afternoon lessons). I just hope Yiyi can convince his pop 'cause we ain't going if it's not all the four of us. Our motto: Leave no one behind. =)

To my SUPER FF4 (or ZZ4 if you like --> pack trolleys quick! wahahahaha), please pray we can go, get the cheapest and relatively okay airline and hotel and shop till we really drop (like how the emoticon would, right xiang?). *Squeeze my eyes tight and pray doubly hard.. mumbles on*

I survived 5 consecutive days of hubbing with my spirits high mostly. Maybe 'cause the end is indeed NEAR (my last day is on the 28h). Or that I might really love hubbing, which I don't think so. But I do love my babes and some of the people there are really nice. We kind of rule the place now, like how we do in Tampines. We sing and shout at each other and dance and do all sorts of unglam stuff (like Dorcas and her swearing, clutching boobs and squeezing butts), regardless how the rest think of us. And it's pretty much the same - our boisterousness finds no company. Maybe 'cept for Sam who is a joker himself and Irene who is really corny and quirky.

What we loveeee to do at work:

Irene's baby is due on 1st Nov. We love to touch her tummy, waiting for dear Ernest (whom we affectionately name him KuKuJiao) to do a little kick.

Introducing our 2nd pastime - gobbling up all the snacks and tidbits in the pantry.

Me and Yiyi - from the prestigious SuperFF4 (NUS).
(Don't pangsei MKT hokay!! I tell ya'!)

So I decided Xiang and Dork, you guys be the SuperFF4 (SMU) such that we sound like those major corporations that have many little branches though it is still the four of us. I think we are so crappy. Omg.. Out.

(See that white tee we are wearing. We fought hard to wear it. So proud of ourselves..)
