步步高升 & Me...

This happened a couple of weeks back... For someone who doesn't have an active social life like me, weekends would usually be homebound... (can someone date me please?? haha) So while over a typical dinner with my parents, we were talking about my 2 elder siblings who didnt make it back home in time that day when they slowly changed the topic focusing on me instead...

mum: so how come u are home today?
me: hello? i'm always home on Sundays leh if u did take notice of it..
dad: shouldn't u be out dating?
me: pa, if i have a date.. i won't be having dinner here ALONE with u guys...
dad: probably he isn't free today?
me: ya, might as well assume that he isn't free every single weekend?
mum: so do u have a bf now??
me: no la... coming 5yrs liao.. no have no have... no one wants ur baby girl.. if there is any taker, i will tell u.. no worries...
dad: u sure? u are the most outgoing among ur siblings..
mum: ya la.... always say not coming home for dinner on Fridays especially..
me: outgoing so?? must meet the right one then can leh... dun worry abt me la... gor & jie not married too... rush them la... why me??
mum: aiya.... dun u know the meaning of "步步高升" meh? start from bottom mah, so u will settle down first...

I went speechless when I heard that... no point continuing this conversation, I just want to finish my dinner.. hahah.. sometimes, I really felt bad for letting these 2 folks down in terms of relationship... They had pinned their hopes on me to carry on the next generation but I failed.... I hope to find my happiness soon too but..... Anyway, if Mdm Tan is accurate, I might be able to bring them some good news this year... When?? No one knows.....

Happiness is..........

- quoted off an email fr RY -

Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last.

We should stop making our lives complicated.

Life is short

Break the rules

Forgive quickly & kiss passionately

Love truly & laugh constantly

And never stop smiling no matter how strange life is

Life is not always the party or the bed of roses that we expected to be

But as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful

- fr me -

Ultimately, Happiness is.......

Able to see eyecandy and taking the same bus together!

hahahaahha......

Lesson #2

No one is perfect in this world and dreams don't always come true...
Don't let it upset you just because things didn't turn out to what you had dreamt of..

True or False.. $20 advice

Finally went to visit Mdm Tan on the friday before, after my checkup that same day..

It was a sunny day and RY had called earlier to check if she will take this business.. and yes, so-called Fate was available.. Full of expectations on what she will be able to tell me.. I was very much anticipating to this visit...

There was someone before us when we reached this place, a little stall which is located just diagonally opp Redhill MRT station, next to a laundry shop... Newspaper clippings of her charity works pasted on the partition together with a price chart of her fees.. Basically, it's only one charge of $20 for either choosing an auspicious date or fortune telling..

Finally, it was my turn.. Mdm Tan asked what I want to know but I was expecting more like what she can tell me without me asking rather than I tell her what I want to know.. Isn't FT suppose to work that way?

I guessed probably that day she was just trying her luck to earn my $20 as it doesnt look as accurate as how she did for RY and friends... Most of the things she said about me, I was expected to reply if it's accurate which unfortunately most of the time she got it wrong...

- didn't have to prepare meals or do the laundry ==> WRONG, WRONG, WRONG

- a spendthrift towards myself... very "giam siap" ==> Absolutely WRONG

- KFC is my favourite ==> definitely WRONG.. I hate KFC..

- very generous towards friends ==> probably CORRECT

- very very stubborn ==> very very TRUE

- spoilt rotten in the family ==> WRONG, or maybe YES

- my co SG office has a staff strength of 30 at least ==> if she includes the invisible workforce who comes out after dark, then yes she is right..

Those were about my current life and here comes the more interesting part... My FUTURE

- 8-10yrs down the road, she still sees me working in the same company now.. ermm... is that a good or bad thing?

- will have a very good life

- can't set up my own business

- can't lose weight.. But which girl wants to stay fat forever?? I hope lead from "Alcoholic Effects" doesn't read this line.. lest he calls to "advise" again.. hahha...

- will have twins

A lesson learnt in life..

lesson #1 - even your closest friend will betray you...

p/s: i'm not facing such issue, but writing from experience on what i came across... :)
