Can this be another Hello World post?

So my life's been pretty fast-paced. The days are all jumbling up into one long stretch... I haven't ran out of words or out of steam in this blog. I've just been really mad busy.


Yesterday was a blue Monday

It's not healthy to keep thinking of work over the weekend. I tell you, I think I am a chronic worrrier. Haha! I had loads to accomplish and only so little time in a day.

I love and hate how deadlines are so unforgiving and so pushy.

Pushy pushy deadlines.

It is not procrastination I say!

I've been wanting to revamp my blog for the longest time. I need to. Its ugly, not user-friendly and not functional at all.

This is an irony since I pursue great looking and extremely functional websites in my career everyday.

And it has been 1 year since I lasted wanted a revamp. Has it really been that long already? It can't be procrastination if I was too busy to even keep track of time right?

I want to move it move it.

Move what? The renovation of course!

After CNY, work only recently begun. I haven't had time to post pictures yet but my kitchen cabinets and master bedroom wardrobe are both up!

My kitchen is my dream kitchen. I love it very very much! I shall take pics to show soon!

The MBR wardrobe... well, that one would take some time to love and get used to. What I am absolutely relieved about is that after all the carpentry went up, the house still feels ok. Not too cramped or small.... or maybe, being the flexible person that I am, my expectations have lowered to rock bottom in my pride for the house.

Hey man, I lived in Malaysia in my formative years. Malaysia where everybody lives in big houses! Then I come to Singapore and so many things changed. So many things are done differently.

Review of When In Rome...

I think I am in love with Nick from When In Rome... His name is Josh Duhamel. He acted in transformers if you didn't already know.

Haha! The movie was good!!! I'm a sucker for Romantic Love Comedies and this was right up my alley.

Who'll know tough guy Josh who acted in Transformers would turn out to be such a sweetie on When in Rome? :D

It may be fluff to some but this is definitely fresh in the romcom genre of movies. Both actors are charming and believable. I do think that its a movie both sexes will enjoy - definitely not the usual chick flick.

I shall not give you any spoilers here except that if you love romantic love comedies, this is a great one to go for.

When In Rome...

I never want to come back!


The only problem first of all, well, is, I have to get myself to Rome before I can never come back!

Ok seriously now. I'm mad excited about this new romantic comedy movie coming up called When in Rome.

Website: www.wheninrome.com.sg



It's by Kristen Bell! I think she's very endearing. She really doesn't get enough big breaks.

Alright, she plays Beth who is a foolish, young romantic and picks coins from a "foolish" fountain of love. Then a whole avalanche of suitors start after her. One cuter/funnier than the next. :)

I haven't really seen enough of each of the suitors from the trailer but I do think Nick is the one for her!



He's drop dead gorgeous
He's cute
He's cheeky

What's not to like?!?!?!

In reality, the partners we end up with is often not 100% what we imagined him/her to be.

But but, it doesn't stop me from pursuing perfection and want a drop dead gorgeous, candy-sweet and cheekylicious boyfriend!!!

*grins*

Catch When In Rome Movie starting from 25th March 2010 and join the official Facebook and Twitter page!

Reflection

I went for yoga the other day with Master Kamal who is truly an inspiring yoga master. He is unlike most others who are very serious or are very nonchalent about each student's poses.


Master Kamal inspires each student to do their best. You'll find that regardless of how simple a pose you used to think it was, a class with Master Kamal in it will make you sweat like a pig because he inspires you to push further.

He said something last saturday that I found very thought-provoking.

He said that yoga is a practice that trains your mind, body and spirit to be lighter and happier (or something like that. I can't remember the exact awe-inspiring phase).

He said that it trains you to be happy even through the bad times. It helps us achieve a deep inner sense of peace and overall relaxation.

*brake* Hang on a bit there. Happy, even through the bad times? But I've never been raised for that to be right! Well, not specifically the way from the way I was brought up but I was referring more so to the society we live in.

Can we really be happy even through the bad times?

What about the times a not-so-close family member passes away and you don't feel anything. In fact you could be solemn at the funeral and then go partying at night, aren't we trained to feel guilty for feeling joy so soon after?

Or maybe like recently, when I stupidly lost my laptop... I felt terrible! For like half a day. Then because my boss wasn't so harsh on me for that, I felt better. Then I got a new laptop within 2 days and it was my dream laptop. Then I was truly torn between feeling excited and guilty about it all.

Have you ever had the... I really don't think I deserve to be happy... I really shouldn't be so happy about this... etc etc feeling?

It happens to me all the time.

Then Master Kamal said that we can be happy even through the bad times and here I was thinking, why didn't I ever realise something as simple as that?

And we all are fighting the day to day battles, seeking happiness when we aren't even ready to embrace it wholeheartedly.

Ok I sound a bit preachy but I just thought I had to get this off my chest.

Anyhow, I'm going to try to live life a little bit different now. I hope all who read this are able to find happiness and joy even through all the bad times. That's what makes life worth living.

In my humble opinion.
