i think it is me. i speak too much.

is one enough?

forty-five minutes doing nothing is boring, especially if you have restricted access to the wonderful world wide web and the most entertaining thing available next to you is the radio in steri room. i tried to be good and went to the front, offering myself to see an emergency but there is no one to see. so back to thumb twiddling and web surfing.

since i can't open fb i went to visit theage.com.au, and occasionally they have interesting links. i found another page to check out if you're like me, have plenty time to waste before you are allowed to head to lunch or maybe just plain tired staring at emails or numbers or notes or whatever you office people do at work and needed something different to look at.

this NY chick is attempting to wear the same dress for 365 days and so far she's up to day 111 and is doing great. and what's better it's not just for fun, it's for charity. it got me thinking, would i be able to do the same? living on one dress? however when i opened the website, i found that she accessorised the dress up with different stuff each day: scarfs, tops, hats, socks, shoes. so you will still need a huge wardrobe afterall :P it'll still be fun to follow though.

i've pasted the link on the sidebar of this blog as well.
enjoy this little find~

the big M

oh how i love melbourne~
stumbled upon this yesterday at work. here are some of my favourites:

- When everyone knows where a bar, cafe or restaurant is you no longer want to go there.

- You know Sunshine, Rosebud and the Caribbean Gardens are not as good as they sound.

- You felt betrayed when you discovered Melbourne was not the only place in the world with trams.

- You think the slogan on our licence plates should be "Melbourne. The Coffee Is Shit Anywhere Else", "Melbourne. Go To Sydney. We Hate Tourists" or " Melbourne. What School Did You Go To?"

- You've been to the Royal Melbourne Show and the scariest ride is the train home.

- You don't judge people on their looks, wealth or status but on the bread they buy, the coffee they serve and the newspaper they read.

- When you hear the word "Easter" the first thing you think of is the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal and Zig and Zag. And then you quickly think of something else

- Cup Day. Gambling at 9am. Drunk by noon. Broke at 3.20pm. Asleep by 4pm. Hungover at 5pm. All while at work.

have a good laugh coz you might find some actually describes you!

the only one that gives joy

i'll move on

This road that I'm taking twists and turns.
My life my chance turning dreams into reality.
Down this path faced with so many things.
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away.

Can't seem to go on. And I've been thru' this before.
Now where am I? Where do I stand? A little lost here.
But I'll remember. All those times you've bought me thru'.
I'd be a fool to give up cos' the goal is near.

I'll move on I'll go on. Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along. Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may. I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on.

Here I am. Once again caught in the rain.
Looking back I've come so far. And I want to carry on.
Take a step a little time It's alright.
Even thru' this rain, I want to smile again.

Don't hold back now. And i've been thru' this before.
Now where am I? Where do I stand? A little lost here.
But I'll remember. All those times you've bought me thru'.
I can feel the sun shining down on me.

Here I am, Here I am. Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along. Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may. I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on.

i started my week in high spirit, which did not last long. i started today feeling crap, for reasons better left untold. but you know what, i left work feeling uplifted, not only because the nurses were in good mood today work felt enjoyable, nor because sis found cheaper tickets for our flight home, nor because apparently the webmaster at work does not block twitter like they do facebook, but also because all these things reminded me of how much God cares for me, His marvelous way working through all these silly happiness in life to put a smile back on my face. Lord i will take your hand :)
