That was me earlier this evening.
We were sitting around the living room entertaining Lukey while aunty was mopping the floor. We had told him not to run around as the floor was wet. He was rather well-behaved for a while. Suddenly, he decided to make his way across the living room. Let me add that Lucas does NOT walk. He runs. So, being the most agile of the lot, (Dad was at his com - too far away, Mum was even further away and my sis was heavily preggers (well, is, still, but due any minute now :b), I decided to run after him. After all, I should be quite used to walking on semi-wet floors, right?
Wrong.
The next couple of seconds flashed by. I remember dashing towards Lukey. It was a good thing I did too, because he was on the verge of slipping. Had I not gotten to him on time, he would have fallen and that would not have been very pleasant. I held him upright but I felt my feet lose grip. The next thing I knew, I had hit the ground, my tailbone bearing the brunt of the fall. I lay there, utterly stunned for a while. Lukey looked at me and realised that something had gone wrong. I, too, realised that I was hurting and I could not move. I stayed stationary till the pain subsided a little and got up slowly. I looked at Lukey and he was all teary-eyed. He knew I was in pain and I think he felt guilty. I held him and reassured him that everything was alright. He snuggled in my arms for a bit before running off with his treasured "Hi5!" CD again. He's such a darling ! hehe
I'm hoping that I didn't do myself much damage although there is a dull pain at my lower back and also one shooting up & down my left arm. I'm hoping it's just the shock of the impact and that some bed rest tonight would fix me.
On the upside of it, I may get to take ML tomorrow and be present when my baby niece is born ! A silver lining, perhaps ? *grimaces
I've just spent the last 2 hours customising my Macbook. It was really fun! I'm so glad I converted. Getting a Mac has been one of the highlights of my 2008 (speaks volumes of my sad, boring life ey? Haha). But seriously, I love how user-friendly it is. I love how easy it is to do virtually anything on it. I love how it makes everything seem effortless. And it does not "punish" you if you make mistakes on it. Just "delete" and voila ! You get the original back. No need to pull your hair out and cry to retrieve lost info. EVERYTHING is a breeze on it ! I will go into the details later.
Suffice to say, I love eet, I love eet, I love eet !

Some days, it goes by unnoticed. Some days, I can't wait for it to pass.
But today, I wish I could go back 24 hours. 24 hours ago, everything seemed more bearable. 24 hours ago, I had a smile for anything that came my way.
24 hours ago, I had you.
I miss you.

I have been wanting to organise my handbag for a while now. I've tried buying bags with multiple pockets to house the various things I throw into my bag. I've also tried storing my belongings into little pouches. I've even resorted to buying smaller bags so that I don't carry so many things around. But, after trying each method for a while, I wasn't satisfied. Somehow something was missing. The "X" factor, so to speak.
Then I chanced upon a bag organiser at a local departmental store. It cost $69 ! No way was I going to fork out that kind of money just to get organised. So I decided to make my own. I looked up my best friend and found this.
The idea of making it was exciting. I could already imagine the finished product !
A trip to Spotlight and $30 later, I went to grandma's house to use the sewing machine. When my aunt took it out, I realised that maybe I should have just paid the $69. The sewing machine was an old-school Singer. It had to be worked manually. This handicraft project wasn't going to be as easy as I had imagined it to be.
Undeterred, I sat down and worked hard at it. And after just 2 hours (hahaha), it was done. Though the workmanship is just passable, I'm proud to present:
Tadaaa ! (I think I shall give her a name.)
Reaction from the aunts was immediate. They all want one. *grins

Have you ever gotten the feeling that the people around you have all moved on ? I feel it now. I feel as if I'm frozen in time. Everyone else has gone on to do other things - good things, while I seem to be stuck and I have no idea how to get out.
How do I get myself out of this ? What will it take ? Where do I begin ?
I have no clue where I'm going or what I'm going to do. But I want to and I HAVE to, before I start pitying myself.

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;
There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.
There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.
There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.
And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...
There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...
There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

It's been a long time since I've taken the train. However, I thought that I would try to "go green" since I was only going nearby. When I got onto the train, I noticed a dodgy-looking man staring at me. And I mean starrrrring.
All the time he kept looking at me and peeping at my chest (not that I was wearing anything revealing).. I was very disgusted so I took out my phone and fiddled with it so that my arms would block his view. I was very glad when he stayed on the train when I got off at the next station.
Feeling relieved on the ride down the escalator, I heard someone say "excuse me". I moved to the side, thinking that I was in his way. Well, apparently not. It was his way of beginning a conversation with me. It went somewhat this way :
Him : Excuse me.
Me : (thinking i was in his way) Sorry.
Him : You were having some trouble with the guy in the train.
Me : Hmm ? Oh, yeah.
Him : Do you live here ?
Me : What ? Oh, no.
Him : Oh you going shopping?
Me : (getting irritated) No.
Him : Then where are you going?
This was when we got off the escalator and walked toward the gates. I noticed that he walked very close to me, despite there being lots of space available. So I walked faster & further. But he followed close.
As I was taking my wallet out of my bag...
Him : I didn't catch your name. (pulls out his mobile phone)
Me : Hmm ? I didn't give it to you.
Him : I'm L*.
Me : Hi L*.
Him : You are ? Can you give me your name card ?
Me : Where I work, we don't get name cards.
Him : Then can you give me your number ?
Me : What ? Here ? Why don't we go outside first ?
Him : I'm waiting for my friends here.
Me : Oh, ok then, have a good day. (exit Nicole)
Hahaha ! He didn't even stand a chance !! He was okaaay looking and I probably wouldn't have been so harsh on him had he chosen a better way to begin a conversation or had he been bothered to walk out of the gates even if that meant he had to pay to get in again. But... too bad for him ! :b
I hate to think that such is the quality of guys these days. Oh dear. They sure don't make them like they used to. Come on guys... get your act together !

Just because her eyes don't tear, doesn't mean her heart's not torn.
Just because she comes off strong, doesn't mean she's got the strength to go on.

Why wasn't I born Japanese ? It's frustrating ! I want to purchase a book and a CD but it's all in Japanese. Anyone reading this who understands or is able to decode the language, please help ? All help rendered will be much appreciated.
