Any day now, i swear i will go on a hunger strike/diet/starve myself/ok maybe leave off not eating breakfast at mindef canteen anymore.

My boss told me today that i look chubbier now compared to when i first started work. My dad greeted me with a 'hello, chubby' when i walked into his room tonight. Both my parents have started encouraging me non too subtly to exercise...strangely enough our family doctor has been encouraging them to DO THE SAME.

I am crushed. I will go cycle or swim tomorrow when it's a holiday..if nathan comes along.

We got into an accident today too, and the accident happened on my side of the car..again. It wasn't nathan's fault this time though. But gimme a thrilling themepark roller coaster anytime, just no real life ones anymore. And the other party was non other than my secondary schoolmate whom i haven't seen since we were 16. Nice way to catch up :/

Sigh someone tell me that there's more to life than just work and saving up for my future. I don't spend that much, but the thought of saving up for my own flat, potentially supporting both him and me if he gets a degree in future, kids, kids' education, holidays and retirement is mind boggling and tiring. Somehow living day to day with no worries about the future doesn't seem right now.

TIOMAN!!!

Beautiful beach..

Beautiful sunset..
This poor deprived soul has never seen a sun touch the sea edge in her entire life.

Musclewoman and fatman fighting it out!

Us in our snorkelling gear

The girls' man-slaves!

Silly dory..

Our speedboat driver and coral tour guide; he was so nice and gave us an underwater tour of all the corals

(almost) all of us..except me the camerawoman and dory.

All the hungry fishies who ate up nathan's puke. Now you know why the water's so clear!

Our lovely house :)

More beautiful tiomanish sunsets..

That white stuff aint snow..

Counting down to mini holidays like these before UK!UK! in 2010 makes time pass more pleasantly.

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don`t know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don`t know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of Pain
Like a fire when it`s cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

--John Denver, 1998

I think this about sums up how i feel about you. You're alot of things to me, some ugly, some irritating, some funny, some warm. Most of all your laughter keeps me going.

Anna: cos you like to fart alot.
