EVERYBODY IS GETTING MARRIED!!! What's wrong with them?
Anyways, according to MSN, it is better to wait for the right one then to rush in just coz' everyone is doing it. heh heh heh
Did you hear? Divorce rates are down—from the oft-times quoted "a little over 50%" to a much more optimistic "under 40%!" The theory on this positive decline: More people are now marrying later, and these later-in-life marriages are shown to have a more everlasting and everlusting lifespan—which is lowering the total divorce rate.
Why do marriages that start later last longer? Consider some of the following:
1. You've had the breakups that led to breakdowns that led to the breakthrough.
2. You've sowed your wild oats—and now think, "Sow what?" All those tempting choices aren't as tempting as you'd thought.
3. You're healthier and more together—meaning the relationship now has at least a 50% chance of being healthier and staying together.
4. After having endured a gazillion bad dates, suddenly your fear of working at a relationship is a lot less scary than your fear of more bad dates.
5. You now know when a relationship is on the road to nowhere—and how to find the exit ramp away from emotionally unavailable territory.
6. You no longer confuse conflict for passion—and recognize that it's better to have loved and lost ... than to live with a wacko for the rest of your life.
7. You now have work you love—so can put more attention on the work of love.
8. You now wisely know the "ability to compromise" is a sexy attribute—and "consistency" is an aphrodisiac.
9. You now know that just because a person looks good on paper doesn't mean they're going to "act good" in real life. Status, wealth, fame and trust funds no longer hold as hypnotizing an appeal. You recognize that money doesn't buy happiness ... it can only lease it for a few months.
10. You now know it's never a checklist of adjectives to look for in a person—but the compatibility of your adjectives with their adjectives. Meaning: The rocks in your head must fit in the holes in the other person's head.
11. You now know personality is the tip of the iceberg ... but character is the real foundation. While it's okay not to share all the same interests and hobbies, you must always share the same values and ethics!
12. You now wisely know you're never going to find perfect, custom-fit love in a world of off-the-rack people. All people will have some flaws and misfits.
13. You now recognize that you get love in your life by loving your life. Meaning: A man or a woman isn't meant to give you a life, they're meant to enhance the one you create.
14. You now know that nice guys and girls don't finish last—they create relationships that last!
15. You've stopped blaming your past for bad relationships — and started blaming your present: What you're doing and whom you're choosing.
16. Having less time to waste magically seems to increase your intelligence and instincts.
17. You now know true love requires love of truth.
18. You've had years to research jobs to have, cities to live in, people to date ... It's as if you hold a Ph.D. in knowing thyself—so you have a higher percentage probability of finding someone who's right for you.
19. You now wisely also know who you are not!
20. You now wisely know love is a boomerang. What you have and give away is what you get back.

I just wanna stuff my face with food.
Wanna guess what is inside this box?
CUPCAKES!!! GIMME SOME CUPCAKES~ UH HUH, UH HUH!
I remember I posted about Miette’s yummilicious stuff. They are a local bakery using only organic ingredients.
SO IT MEANS THAT MY CUPCAKES MUST BE REALLY HEALTHY FOR ME! HAHAHAHAHAHA.
So pretty and delicious. I tried the “Old-fashioned Cupcake” previously, but this time, these two are so much better. I believe they are “Chocolate Cupcake with Vanilla cream” and “Vanilla Cupcake with Cream”. The thing is the creams are not too sweet at all. And that is hard to find. But they are $3 a pop. Next time I’ll bring my next visitor to the Ferry Building where you can find all these cool
Also saw this awesome sign outside a Meat Store.
~~~
Oh, here are some of my Agency’s X’mas Party last Friday. It was held at the Hilton Hotel in downtown. 2 giant yellow school buses came to pick us up, as we yelled at pedestrians along the way. Hahahaha. That was before we were drunk.
The party was more fun than I expected, because I didn’t expect anything. Hahaha, some peeps just simply disregarded the party and condemned it to be a loser. But I don’t think so. I had fun with the colleagues I like and I even danced. It was silly but I love 80’s music. We took most of the photo at the designated photo area, reminiscing the old school prom night photo booths.
I have to say, the girls working with me are all pretty good looking. There is no one I would call Fugly. And I wonder if how they do the hiring process??? Mmmm… …
The Pretty Girls~
Me, Max & Shawn
My manager/work daddy & I
There's TOO much dessert.~~~
PUPPY!
I AM COMING HOME REAL SOON!

Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Quit, asking me! I just don’t feel good for now.
14 days more to go and I will be back to sing-a-lala-land. I can’t wait. Though my enthusiasm is not that obvious, believe me, I really can’t wait to go back. I know I will be happy lah~
~~~
Tomorrow night is my agency’s X’mas party. The theme for this year is 80’s prom night. Well, during the 80’s, I spent most of my nights in diapers. So this time I will let the old ones shine. Just gonna pick a retro blue dress that I got in Singapore the last time I went back. See? There is bound to be an occasion to wear a dress, so girls, don’t hesitate and just buy that expensive nice dress if it fits!
Last year’s X’mas party was on a cruise boat. But the funniest thing was that the agency doesn’t have money to pay for it to actually cruise. So it was docked the whole night!!! Only the steady swaying part will remind you that you are actually on water, still water that is.
~~~
I am feeling so restless now. I have to take a sleeping aid to be able to rest through the whole night. Small girl, big problems.
I miss Puppy a lot.
I went to the pet store and asked to hold the pekingnese puppy they had. He was a nottie fellow, but so cute and generous with his kisses. Sigh. I cannot betray Puppy though.
Here’s an old pic of a friend’s dog, Emma. Funny thing is I remember the dog’s name but not the owner. Heh heh heh.
~~~
I’m tired, I just need to sleep.
~~~
another thing is, Janice is getting married! That’s right! Finally one of us is getting hitched (BChoo not counted, she is waaaaaay too ahead). Happy, so happy. But that bitch is having her wedding ceremony in Feb. BITCH! I can’t go. I am so sorry I can’t make it.
Why? Why did I come all the way here and then feel so sad coz I am missing everything? Then again I insist on staying here and toture myself (as my mom will put it) and feel so miserable but still REFUSE to move back? What is wrong with me?
I love pain. I think. There is no other explanation.
I should tattoo the word *PAIN* on my ass. Hahahahahahahahaha gosh~ I’m so farney.

Another Monthly Alameda Sunday Antique Fair
Haven't been there in a long time and I miss it. Don't need to go there frequently, but once in a few months is always fun. Every trip brings something new.
Clara would love this vintage clothes/shoes stall.
I saw Santa shopping for the holidays too!
Erick ended up buying this. Initially I was going to get it for a Jap friend. bad joke?
Dated Tuesday, 14th August, 1945. Imagine that day, when someone picked up that fresh new crisp paper.
Reminded me of Alexander Girard's patterns and folk art dolls.
I love monkeys. And if you watched the Phantom of the Opera, you'll remember this guy.
Spotted that fake wooden leg in the middle!
Went for pho (again) after the fair, I think I have had enough for the rest of the year.
My conquests!
USD$1 postcard album. was falling into pieces but i love the cover and will fix the spine.
Another X for my collection. USD$3
Wooden cake stand! so awesome! USD$5

LUNCH OFF - #3,4,5
Oopsie Daisy, Missy has been pretty busy lately~ so here's the update:
WED: I had the rest of the BUrger that i didn;t finish from TUESDAY. I know...EEEEkssss, but what to do, what to do? PLUS I had some of my famous triangle dumplings that I made from scratch last weekend. I made so many of those, i lost count. All I know is i finisht he whole freaking stack of dumpling skin i bought. there must be about 50. And they are yummy too! So this time it is No cost Lunch.
(unfried version-)
THURSDAY: Due to an ADOBE seminar that we HAD to go, we left work at 12 noon to register and proceeded to have lunch at *TU LAN* ( I had previously mentioned the farney name before, but hey! they have good food. So I HAD to have the pho, I think I am addicted and I think I blame it on MB, who firstinfluencedintroduced me to good pho. I spent only $3 bucks coz my colleague offered to buy lunch and I jsut chip in on a big fat tip.
FRIDAY: this is the best of the week. I took the day off coz I had some private business to handle. Met my freelance client for lunch @ BETELNUT on the nice UNION street where I usually go for crepes. it is a fancy Asian themed restaurant and I only thought it would be bad coz it willd definetely be adapted towards American tastes. However, It was super yummy. They spelt SINGAPORE SLING as SLINGAPORE SING. Hilarious! I had to do my civil duty and report that mistake to the waiter who in turn told his manager who in turn insisted that they did it on purpose. That's jsut totally BULL CRAP. I hate ppl who cannot admit their mistakes.
So long story short, this fab lunch was free again~
I realised I am so easily satisfied with free lunches. But then again, as the chinese saying goes: There's no free lunches in the world... It will bite me back in the ass soon i think.
~~~
Had done too much shopping. Bought plenty of stuff for my folks back home, and plenty of stuff for me as well. I got a new digicam, I forgot to blog again my shopping rush i had last weekend. Spent an insane amount of money. However, I must emphasize, NOT everything is for me... the list is not totally checked off yet, SOME people are just so hard to buy for. I thought new panties are always a delight... ... no?
