    A love I put in my wishlist


    It's been quite some time since I last longed for and had soooooo much interest in a movie...not until I happen to come across a commercial on the movie "The Bucket List". Two of my favourite actors are in it...playing ear to ear..namely Jack Nickolson and Morgan Freeman. I waited for the show to come..and finally after what seems like ages..I got to watch it tonight. A great way to take my mind off from all..and a show I know I can depend on to bring some inspiration to my life.

    I wouldn't go much into the details of the show but to leave to all of you to catch the show..but perhaps except for the fact that I teared and then cried in the show, and of course not leaving my post without some sharing. Two specific scenes in the movie touched my heart so much..and I mean really much. So much so that I kept it in my heart..wanting to remember it more then any other scenes.

    One of the memorable scene that hit me so strongly was when Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) talked to Edward Cole (Jack Nickolson) while soaking in the bath-tub, sharing with Edward about how he suddenly realised his change of feelings for his wife (his only love) after living through his life. To start from his strong and passionate love for her, and not wanting to walk down the streets without his wife's hands. But only to realise one day that something was missing, that the feeling was lost. It attracted me at that instance how romantic and important, or rather precious it can be, when a man knows how to look back and realise something is missing, and with this, not abandoning but holds in his words and emotions a longing to chase back that lost feeling.

    The second scene was when a beautiful woman came to Carter, supposedly planned by Edward after hearing that Carter's wife was Carter's only woman in his life. Strong was the temptation with a gorgeous lady standing right before him, without his wife around, but only to hear Carter reject the lady gentlemanly. And what followed up that moved me to tears was when the lady told Carter that Carter's wife must be a very wonderful woman to have a man like Carter by her side and that his wife was fortunate. But unlike what most guys I came across would say, this man here said with such great sincerity and belief, that he was the lucky one to have his wife (it surprised me coz he had initially find her wife too sticky and noisy at the beginning of the show). To me, I would say, how blessed it would be for a woman to work so hard for her relationship and the one she loved with her time and love, and with no need for great luxury or overly exaggerated sweet words, but only to be able to hear her man thanking her with such great words of sincerity. This, in my opinion, would mean more then any other gifts on earth, and even more then any superficial honeyed words that were used too loosely today. And I teared as I hear Carter's words...and praying to God...if I may have a blessed life like this.

    No withhelding of true love, no room for pride, and even with anger, let it be anger of concern and of love. To not hurt, but to guide with patience and love. To be always humble and forgiving, even if mistakes were done. To understand and always trust that wrongdoings are not done intentionally, so that both could hold their hands till they are old. And I believe, a kiss on the lips when both are old at age is worth more then having tons of gold. Do you agree?

    Can't afford to say much...


    I know some of my readers are still worrying about me...wondering how I really am doing now...but Bella really dunno where to start also. I can only say Bella feels she lost love..and this song describes all I wan to say to the one I love...especially the english interpretation..every statement. If you happen to stop by..and still care enough..I wish you can follow and listen what I have to say..at least once..

    Bella decides to come back...


    Not all is sky clear blue as yet..Bella's heart is still heavy. Lost and restraint by the situation, Bella just wanted the day to pass by. Got really drunk on Friday night..fortunately I have Irene by my side. Thanks babe. And thanks for all the sweetest readers I have...you guys know who u are. Thanks for the mails. Deeply appreciate it..=)

    It's Sunday today. Feeling really exhausted but seems like today is the final day before another week of race at work. Especially this week seems like it's gonna be quite a tough week for me as my senior will start his one month or rather 5 weeks study week from this week onwards, though he promised to be back tomorrow (but he emphasized that he'll just be back for tomorrow only) coz we need to go down to client's place together for a short meeting.

    So for now..allow Bella to take a nap while so that she can stop her mind from thinking. ^Rest^...

    Excuse Bella Please...


    Bella's journey of pursuit of her beautiful life will be closed down temporarily. I apologise to my loyal readers...but Bella promise to come back real soon.

    Take care guys. I love you guys...and my love always stays the same...
    (Hopefully my rain will stop soon. Be it stopped by a gentle sun shine or a scorching sun...it has to stop somehow...Stay with me guys..if you can..)

    Thankful...

    Hmm nothing special about this post..but to give thanks for the wonderful colleagues I have from my batch. Thank God I have them to cheer my day in office today!Hahax...

    Been up super early these couple of days and took my cutie bus 70 to work. Yep a one hour travelling journey to my office. Haven moved off to client's place at Alexander like I mentioned in my previous post coz my senior just haven't been able to sort things out proper. And wish me luck coz after this week I'll be all alone in this team coz the senior will be off for his one month study leave whilst ah sam!(who's the only other person in my team) will be off to another job engagement, and then Hallelujah I'm all alone. The manager of this job has dropped a mail on Monday morning 830am asking the senior to brief me on all the follow up and finalising of F/S (which hell I have never done before coz this is usually done by the senior of the job!Rahhh). With the dragging and in-cooperative clients not giving us fast assistance on our required documents, may I then say "Hi" to my doom's day next week!!!Argh...

    Anyway I had lunchie with my colleagues these couple of days! Days in office would be soooooooo boring without them around. Junney is exceptionally sweet today. Knowing I wasn't really in my best mood, she rushed back to office from her client's place to look for me. A hug from her is just so comforting. She even bought Famous Amos cookies for me!! We then proceeded to Amoy to meet up with the rest of my colleagues. A nice lunchie!



    (The cookies from Junney..Thanks babe!!)

    We walked back to office after that. The weather today is really hot..and i mean scorching hot! So instead of staying out further, we returned back to office. My heart has been heavy (not gonna elaborate more though), but lucky I have the few cheery beans in my office..especially Mr. Shrek!!Lolx...Kudos to them...guys thanks for being there..though you guys dunno I was not happy..but u guys managed to cheer mi up in the pure ignorance!!Heex...



    (My office!)



    (My colleagues!)

    Talked to people...calmed myself...got "emotionalise" and calmed down again. Nothing much to say..I'm just glad I conquered another day. I don't know how long more I'll need to count the days..but I will hang on (not for ego but for an answer to come as he thinks through..if he ever needed me in his life..his 2nd tots?) *3 cheers to myself*

    Eating OverwhelmAtion =p

    Hey guys how have your long weekend been so far? For me...the title speaks it all..Laughs

    Had lunch with my colleagues on Thursday before the long weekend started. Suddenly realize I haven’t been meeting them for lunch for soooooo long! Lolx…Was back in office and started to do some reconciliation for the TB for the new client. All in a total mess..sob sob! Fortunately, all the effort did not go down the drain coz at least we manage to find out the main root of the problem. Finally, somewhere we can really start off with this job. But one worrying factor however is the budget of the job. Seems like it’s not gonna be a very easy job with the tight budgeting, so shall pray hard! Keke…


    Met Dar Dar after work hoping to buy some stuff. Dar Dar needed to get himself a new pair of shoes coz his current pair is really worn out already. As for me, I need to get some nicey stuff like nail polish and mask. But ended up we didn't manage to get any of the intended items . But I managed to get myself a beach dress from a shop at Far East Plaza named "Manggis". We also had my favourite Claypot chicken rice!!I miss it sooooo much. It's been so long since I last had it...




    (My Fav Claypot Chicken Rice from Far East Plaza^^)

    On the wonderful Good Friday, I suggested to Dar Dar that we spend the whole day together. I went over to Dar Dar's house as early as 9am and went out for breakfast together at his neighbourhood. I bought some watermelon for us in the afternoon too!Heex...we had our fav Fried carrot cake at the coffeeshop opposite his house! It was indeed a sunny day and we had agreed to go for a swim in the noon. Dragged Dar Dar to buy a can of my favourite Peaches before we headed home. So after breakfast and a good couple of hours of rest...It's swimming time! I haven swam in ages and my stamina was really failing me. Laughs...after swimming some laps the weather took a change of moods and dark clouds came. I wasn't really very bothered though it's quite a pity we can't swim more. Dar Dar was more upset coz he had actually wanted to have a tan after his swim. Can't possibly walk back in the rain, we rested in the shelter with our magazines and mp3 till the rain stopped.



    (Our breakfast!!Yummy!)



    (*After our swim*)

    Famished and cold, we hurried home and had a warm shower before digging in to the delicious food Dar Dar's mummy prepared for us before she went to work. So delicious!!keke...and not forgetting my yellowlicious Peaches!!!^Slurp^ haha...then it was a few hours of sleeping time before we ate our dinner! Food time again! I cut us a plate full of watermelon before we round up our day of munchy eating..=p



    (My fav peachy once again!!SLurppy..)


    I slept till late today coz I slept late last night..was playing a new Big Fish game Dar Dar downloaded for me (I just finished the whole game. It ended so abruptly...no ending one!!Rahhh). Dressed up and we headed to Kovan for another of our long time favourite Wan-Ton noodles and Dar Dar's fav Oyster Omelette. Then we headed to buy some of my daily necessities before heading to buy Dar Dar's shoes. We went to Suntec City Convention Hall for the Warehouse sale that's on now. Several brands were involved like Hush Puppies, Miss Sixty, Morgan, Renoma etc. And should I mention though we were shopping, my mouth was still stuffed with food..coz I had my beloved Raspberry Sorbet from Haagan Dazs! And after some walking around, Dar Dar finally fixed eyes on a pair of Renoma Leather shoes.



    (Stolen shot by Dar Dar!)



    (Us while waiting for the arrival of our foooD..my face is so swollen!*crys*)



    (Our brunch!)

    Then we walked around Suntec City for a while since it was raining heavily out there! Actually wanted to watch the show I've been waiting for (The Bucket List) but it's not out yet! But I will definitely watch it once it's out!! Legs were really tired after all the walking..so I suggested we find a place to rest for awhile. Had initially intended to go to Auntie Anne's for some pretzels and drinks, but before I could reach there, the yummy waffles from Gelare drew me in first. *Giggles* So I order us a waffles with Praline and Cream ice cream and Chocolate sauce as well as a glass of Mango Fizz. Totally satisfying! And great timing coz after our dessert session, the rain had also gone smaller. So it was home sweet home for us. Both of us slept so soundly in bus that we missed Dar Dar's stop again. End up he walked me home before he went home. Hee hee...



    (Watch out for these cute dolly display at Suntec City entrance!SO cute!)



    (Bored when waiting for Dar Dar see shoe!!this is my new love btw..hee..Oh and us while waiting to pay $$)



    (Didn't notice Suntec Convention area looks so nice..haha)



    (Foody food from Gelare)

    Hmm tomorrow might be going for a swim again if the weather allows us to do so. I really needa shed my fats! Laughs...and with Monday coming..I really need to cheer myself coz the moment I think about the travelling time to client's place..and yes after checking on the street directory, I realized I actually have to travel for approx. 74 mins if I were to take bus there. Gosh, this will then mean that I’ll have to wake up extremely early every morning once I start going to the client’s place for work. SObx... Sooo, let me rest well this weekend! Woooo~~



    (My new nails..how's it? I lurrvee it anyway..haha)

    A Wednesday at home...


    Yep if you guessed it...Bella has exceeded her physical threshold again and is granted a one day MC to stay at home today. But promised my current job senior (not her anymore!!) that I'll try to work from home.

    I went back to office yesterday after lunchie with Dar Dar (we had my fav sliced fish bee hoon at Market street again!!) and did some admin stuff like my fortnightly time sheet and sending of some confirmations. My current senior was still not very prepared to hand work to me and my colleague (ah sam!) so I decided to go see a doctor since I had been delaying it for quite sometime. Ah sam! accompanied me to Raffles Medical at Ogilvy Centre to see doctor. Was diagnose with infection and after getting yet another bag of medicine and the precious one day MC..we went over to Ya Kun Kaya Toast for a cup of silky barley. Haven't had it in ages..maybe bcoz of that it seem to taste so nice to me. Lolx...back in office though I was sick, I felt much happier coz I get to see more people of my batch...though not very much was spoken coz all were busy..at least I felt more at home!Hee hee...



    (My fav Slice fish bee hoon!!)



    (Ah sam! and me)

    Went home rather early after helping my senior to send out an email to the client. Went home with Dar Dar and end up I had a little dinner with Dar Dar at the coffeeshop below his house. Dar Dar even bought bread for me for today coz my house like always nothing much to eat one...keke...I reached home and then watched my Youtube (恶作剧2吻) again! I cried again as I watched the show..coz even from watching the show I realised so much more, I realised more of how Dar Dar might have felt even though he doesn't say much of expressive words like the guy in the show. Dar Dar called when he was about to sleep and heard me crying after watching youtube once again...and I told him why the show managed to touch me so much..it was because of him.



    (^Breadilicious^)

    I took medication (which can cause drowsiness) and then had a talk with my Brother. I haven't talked to him for so long for ages...and then I went to sleep..a deep sleep (probably due to the medication I took) and ended I woke up only after noon time. Daddy was at home and I took the opportunity and requested for his fried bee hoon! I lurvvveee Daddy's fried bee hoon. I just had my medication again...just hope the effect of drowsiness will not overcome me again...keke! Gonna start work at home in a short while and it's raining so heavily today once again. With my lovey breads and tons of plain water (by instruction of the doctor), I shall brave my MC day. Take good care Bella as well as her beloved readers! Bella lurrveeees you guys too!!

    *Labboy (or can I say my new friend/reader in Canada) had also sent us some nice snowy pics from his backyard. Very nice and so if you're feeling cold here in SG..after seeing the white snow at his side..maybe we might feel better! Laughs...and Bella wants to take this chance to thank Labboy for all the encouragement! It did help! =) So on top of the one you see right at the top, here's one more! so nice...

    Bella is heavy at heart...

    Bella thought once again today was going to be my last day at this stupid engagement...with her!! But only to know I still have to be in tomorrow morning...I can only go back to office in the afternoon.

    Bella have been feeling so sick since Sunday afternoon, with all the cramps and fever. My fever got worsen this afternoon. I reached client's place this morning, and the moment I open my laptop, I received a email stating all that I was expected to do. Never mind about that I thought to myself as long as I can finish my work maybe I can take urgent leave or MC tomorrow to rest coz I know my body is wearing out. So I rushed and did all that I could, and by the end of the day, of the long list given, only 1 was pending. And this 1 matter that is pending is simply due to the fact that I'm still waiting for client to provide me with some information before I can continue. I even helped with some other stuff with the waiting time. Then I told her (my senior) that I was thinking if nothing much is left and if it is okay for it to be outstanding since Finals is not v far away, I told her I might be taking urgent leave tomorrow. A face that shows/hint that I should not or cannot take urgent leave appeared. I just wanted to be prepared for my next job coz I don't want to have to fall even more sick in my next job, especially since I did manage to finish all that i could. Dar Dar kept asking me to go see doctor or take a day off when he knew I was suffering and trembling, but I just simply can't. =( Guess Dar Dar must be wondering why I so persistent to not go to the doctor. I can only say, I don't know how I can go...

    I kept quiet about it eventually and continued to work. Nearing the end of the day, I could hold back no longer. I told her about my unhappiness in this job and my thoughts. Eventually she told me hers too. I guess after I told her how I felt, she already held hard feelings. But to me, my whole purpose of telling her is because I still have to spend the Finals audit with her. I shall not go into detail or remind myself of the things she said, but I only know I saw another face of a person whom almost all my colleagues find a nice person. Before I entered this job, many people say it should be an alright job since the senior is a nice person. I went into the job thinking so, but i left the interims with a totally different thought. A minute she can say "Oh I think you are very capable"..and the next minute after I feedback to her my thoughts, I wondered if she took it personally or what when she said "seriously I think the stuff I gave you are simple and little". Call the whole of P&L section and some B/S items in 3 days little? Tell me about it! I even tried asking myself if the problem is me coz it seems like all the others find her okie..she even asked one of my fellow colleagues in her job if he wants her to book him and do nothing and slack. But for me, even when I'm sick I can't take leave for a job I've finished like 99%. Thus, this is the reason why I said I have managed to see a "so-called nice person in many people's eyes" to turn to someone I don't see from their descriptions when she is stressed. I don't mind helping (though I guess she most probably see it that I don't want to help the moment I told her about my thoughts), but at least given adequate time and with appreciation. Afterall, I'm helping someone getting a much higher pay then me and all I get in return is "It's easy stuff" and not be appreciated that me as an assistant has gone an extra mile. Forget about any Thank You stuff but at least save the sarcastic wordings too. That will help!

    Anyway, I decided to leave early today coz I've seriously finished all that I could do. Thank God I have Dar Dar to wait for me to go home with me. At least seeing him makes me feel so much better. I had lunchie with Dar Dar today too. We both were not feeling well so I suggested we have some soup for lunch (easy digestion might help). So, we went to The Soup Spoon. After lunch, I bought some stuff and we headed back to work. I feel so tired and uncomfortable after lunchie..was having fever and trembling away..but work carries on..



    (My Velvety Mushroom and Dar Dar had Clam chowder soup)



    (Dar Dar's Mushroom Pesto sandwich and my Smoked Salmon - end up I had Dar's while he ate mine!LOL...)



    (here's me trying to smile to the mirror after the very upsetting talk..not very successful though!)

    Bella wishes to apologise to my readers coz recently Bella's getting a little more grumpy due to work. But this is like one of my very few channels to pour out my woes. After all, I don't intend to bring up this unhappy encounter with anyone in office since all of them have such a wonderful impression of her. However, I know some of the colleagues do visit my blog, so hope you guys can just keep it to yourself and not mention it in office. In anyway, hope you guys understand I'm already vexed enough having such a bad relationship with her and I don't wish to have to talk about her anymore once I'm outta the job. I seriously don't care much about the appraisal she's gonna give (coz I know it wouldn't be anything fantastic when it comes out of sourness), I just want to get the job over and done with. Pray for me my readers...I need to regain my smile again. And it's not just about regaining my smile for the short period I see my Dar Dar, but to be able to smile when I'm working. I used to, and I miss it. I really do...

    my mixed feelings...


    Who am I? How am I like? Am I really not doing enough? Or rather am I really doing too little? I haven been blogging for the past few days coz I know I needed to think more...more issues have to be solved within me...and around me.

    Friday was supposed to be my last day at an audit engagement interims, but it also happened to be my mum's birthday. Through out that whole day, I really rushed like mad to clear my allocated work...but only to find my senior giving me more and more work, moreover giving me an impression that I have to finish it before I leave. I would dare to say after much reflection that I did allocate and planned my work to ensure that I can finish my allocated stuff on time before I pulled out from my interims work, but how can she just keep adding new things and yet make it seem like it's so reasonable to hand it in on time? I kept quiet though I was brewing deep within me. My limit was extended further when even filing a piece of paper and photocopying a piece of document was pushed to me when I was in the midst of rushing the added work from her. I know I have to do it coz she's my senior..but is opening the file that is just right in front of her to file in a piece of paper so hard (esp when I've already punched holes for it, ref-ed it and even stick reinforcement rings on it)? I took it over silently and beared with all these nitty gritty things that was so within her ability to do.



    (The sunny weather on Friday and Dar Dar cheered my day for me to move on)

    Especially the end of the day, when I admit that I got anxious coz I know my mum is the type who really thinks her birthday is the biggest event of the world and I had to be there. And my senior came off with a statement and say "Why not you just go. Anyway I don't think you can do anything like this!" I flared up in me. What sarcasm! And she made it sound so great that it's so my fault that I can't finish my work. I hid everything inside of me and called my next engagement senior asking if I could start my job on Tuesday instead. He agreed and I then told my senior that I'll be back on Monday to clear everything. With all these pressure going on, imagine my Dad and Brother calling me asking if I'm on my way. If only the whole world can stop rushing me, it would help so much!

    I met up with Dar Dar and we took a train together down to where my family agreed to celebrate my mum's birthday at. In the train, thoughts ran in my mind asking why I have to slog so hard and let my mum or even my senior take it so for granted that I owed them everything I have fought so hard to give. When we reached YCK MRT station, I walked to the seats at the MRT station instead of heading to the restaurant immediately, simply coz I know I can't hold back anymore. I broke down there and then in public, in an MRT station. Dar Dar just sat beside me in silence while I cried and cried. I could no longer hold back all the stress in me though I have been holding back for quite some time. In the end, we walked to the restaurant after another call from my Mum asking if we're reaching. I reached there with my sore and red eyes. I drank quite a bit that night, didn't eat much. Dar Dar spent the night with me. Though he is always silent and never give much comforting words, I guess it's the best I can get. At times I get angry coz girls always need comfort from the one they love but for me, I don't get much of comforting words. So I will tell myself at least I have his shoulder and hug to rely on. I know I have to try my best to be understanding coz I know he just isn't used to saying comforting words. I just hope he tries, like how he tries to comfort his friends at times.

    (My personal wine collection. Dar didn't drink much, here's the comparison after I down more than half a bottle of it after some beer in the restaurant)

    We slept til late into Saturday before we headed to Vivocity for the movie "The Leap Years". I know we watched it much later coz the leap year has already passed us about half a month ago. But nevertheless, I'm glad I managed to watch it. I cried a lot in the cinema. After the movies, Dar Dar and me went to meet Dar Dar's Daddy for dinner. It's been so long since we had Dinner together. I enjoyed the dinner though the thoughts of the opening lines continued to show up in my mind. I just didn't say much about it to Dar Dar. After all, he might feel helpless if I do say to him coz then he wouldn't know what to say also.

    (At the restaurant)

    I spent the whole Sunday today at home. Not feeling v good coz my backache is back, am having slight fever and my abdominal is giving me cramps too. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I'll recover and be able to finish up all my work before I pull out tomorrow. Pray hard for me.

    Twist of emotions...

    These few days the weather in Singapore is really bad for working people...why? Because it not only makes us feel miserable while working (coz we can't sleep on our comfy bed in the cool weather), but it also makes going out to lunch or simply traveling around to client's place inconvenient.

    I was literally rushing around like a mad woman this morning. I first went to work with Dar Dar and after seeing him to work and taking my laptop bag, I rushed back to office to get some admin work done. By the time I reach office it was already around 925am and I was suppose to have a statutory audit at PWC building at 10am. I don't even have time for my sandwich breakfast so I only munched a few bites in office and then rushed off to PWC building. Around 11 plus, I rushed down with all the barang barang in my hands and took a cab down to client's place at OCBC centre. Phew! Time really pass fast for me today and even before I got to warm my seat, Dar Dar messaged me to ask what time I'm meeting him for lunch. So anyway we met at around 12pm and went to the Parklane wan-ton noodles stall at the stretch of eateries behind boat quay. We didn't hang out long for lunch today coz Dar Dar say we should go back to office earlier to finish up our work so that we can leave earlier. So, we only went to coffee and toast to get myself a cuppa teh-o with lemon (take-away)! A nice company to have in the cold weather. It was then back to work for both of us! When I went back to client place, even most of the staff were still out for lunch!

    (We want our food!!Brrr)



    (This is my favourite You tiao with fish paste!!Goodie!!)

    Time zoomed passed me as I worked through the afternoon. There was too much to be done and time was really never enough. I didn't even realise evening had approached me. As I wanted to go to Chinatown area with F4 to ask about the holiday packages at the various travel agencies, I requested to leave early today. I was told however, to ensure that I can finish and hand up my work by tomorrow (since I'm pulling out from my interims work for this job tomorrow). So I rushed like mad today before I left, and this also means it's gonna be a hectic and busy day for me tomorrow too! Wish me luck! =p



    (I'm just bored in the Ladies_it's actually not stinko like what I made it appear to be =p)

    Anyway, Dar Dar and me then went over to Chinatown to meet up F4 to head to People's Park Centre where all the travel agencies are concentrated in. We tried our luck at quite a few agencies but the prices provided was not within our expectation. Hence, F4 as well as my July Hong Kong group decided it might be better to book the air-tics and accommodation on our own. Along the way as we headed to Plaza Singapura for our Ajisen dinner, the atmosphere surrounding F4 seem to turn tense-up. But we carried on with our dinner plan nevertheless.



    (The Volcano Ramen poster vs the Real thing_Yummy!)

    Unfortunately, somewhere near our finishing of food, one of the F4 members decided to pull out from the trip. This immediately caused the tension to arise once again. I seriously am not used to F4 being so serious and unhappy! They've always been the cheery beans, but today, when I see them unhappy, I got affected too! I agree emotions are weird stuff that can change faster then the unpredictable weathers. I just wish for F4 to be back happy and cheery again! This is Bella's wish for the night! *Nights to all*
