Stars are always there even in the daylight - sometimes we just can't see them

I love reading thrillers.. Especially those got murder cases with detectives etc.. I am a big fan of Jeffery Deaver, James Patterson..

So yes, I love watching CSI, Without a Trace, Cold Case.. you name it..

I love books. But I dont read romance nor magazines.. Romance books are so cheap and sleazy.. Magazines are waste of $, and makes me want to go shopping.. So is bad :P That is why I stopped buying magazines :)

Recently tho, I got obsessed with chick flicks a.k.a bimbo books. I never liked them, but it all started with "Sushi for beginners". Bot this book @ the airport on the way to London. Tot tis would be e perfect book for me to fall asleep since it is 13 hours flight. Which it did.. It was boring as expected..

But it happened, in London. I had nothing much after work so back in hotel, grabbed e book while watching previous season CSI in Spanish --;;
It got me reading.. it was so easy to digest without e need of using my brain trying to figure out who is the murderer and the motive.. It was that simple.
So no sleep for 13 hours flight back, finished the book.

After this I started reading Marian Keys books.. Chick bimbo flicks.. I read three of her books already and now, I am sick of it. I can hardly read one page and I will just fall asleep... So I am going back to my detectives who is fighting the crime.. That is my kind of book..

So before I really resign from e chick flicks and sell it off to to e 2nd hand bookstore, I will give a book review.

last book I read is "Angels". It is a sweet boring book about this couple getting seperated and trying to find their new love and in e end, they realise they are e one for eachother blah blah. The husband says:

"Stars are always there even in the daylight - sometimes we just can't see them"

I really like this phrase.. it can be interpreted in lot of ways.. Whether it is love work or life..
When you want to give up on sumtings bcos of hindrances or watever, u should carry on... Cos stars are always there and we just dont see them at times...

How blur can I be?

I wondered..

Why am i missing the $1.50 green private bus @ 8.50am every morning since last few weeks? I am waking up at the same time! Maybe the bus schedule changed..

Why is the cleaning truck downstairs come so early nowadays? They usually come and clean about 8.30am and now is only 7.50am!

Why is Crayon waking me up so early nowadays? Usually she will bug me about 8am to turn on the tap so she can drink water? (Yes, Crayon drinks fresh water from the tap!)

Why does it get so bright so early nowadays? It's only 6.20 am and is starting to break dawn....

Why do I arrive office later, though now I take $4.30 bus plus van ever since I started missing the $1.50 green bus? (bus plus should be faster)


And I found out the reason two days ago.....

I only have one clock at home. Which is my alarm clock.
And the alarm clock was 40 minutes behind I don't know since when!!! duh~~~~~

No wonder!!!!!!!

So I didnt miss the $1.50 green bus and I was early at work today. :)

I love Singapore more than some of the Singaporeans out there

I have been living in Singapore total of 13 years now.
Though I love my mother country Korea and will settle down there one day, I still love being in Singapore and proud to be a Singapore PR.

Whenever I come back from overseas and step out from Changi airport, the hot humid air fills my lungs.. I know I am home..

I think I am more patriotic than some of Singaporeans out there. When I listen National Day speech by the PM every year, it brings tears to my eyes with all the respect. Whatever is said in the speech, it is done. So efficient and practical. I wonder how many leaders out there in this world, actually keep promises. Their plans and goals are all simple yet achievable. Things that cannot be done is not said. How realistic is that!

I have very high respect for Snr PM Lee Kuan Yew and think there would be no greater man in this history who has acheived so much. I especially like the video clip when they show Lee Kuan Yew sheding tears when MY abandoned SG. It is so touching and I will cry together. -_-;;

Where in this world, you can go out middle of the night for a jog without having to worry about being mugged?
Where in this world, you can take a cab after long night of clubbing and know you are safe?
Where in this world you don't have to worry about bribing the officials?
Where in this world, different races live in harmony?
Where in this world, almost all population own a house?

Singaporeans complain about PAP, CPF, not being able to do alot of things, paying so much fines, not many places to go or do in the weekend, but I think it's for your own good. :P

But I feel the Singaporeans**...
..are not hard working enough.
..are so NATO. (No Action Talk Only)
..think what Singapore will do for them, not what they can do for the country.
..have no courtesy that you need a campaign for it. Why cant they just bloody let people alight first in MRT?
..throw things out of their HDB windows? Urniating at the staircase and in the lift! Void decks are still part of their home!
..lack of general knowledge.
..lack of nationalism. But maybe bcos is due to very short history.

(**I would like to note not every Singaporeans are like that)

However....
To conclude, I love Singapore. The garden city.. I met so many wonderful Singaporean friends. It is truly my home :)
