Enough about my downs

It's sickening to feel self-pity when I know damned well that there're people around me who lead tougher lives.

JX (the one whose wedding photos I posted up before my Bintan trip) hasn't gotten everything smooth sailing but she's working so hard now and just looking at how she is now makes me feel ashamed of my complaining.

Her dad got retrenched when the economic downturn happened. He tried to set up a business but it didn't work out. Her brother was giving alot of trouble and she decided to move out to stay on her own at a 1-room flat. Her then bf gave her problems and they finally broke off. She met David and now is married to him. Both of them now work, pay for this current 1-room flat expenses, study part time, PLUS they have to finance a flat they bought (Pinnacle@Duxton).
Then you've got to remember the flat needs to be maintained, cleaned, and plenty of housework, etc etc etc.

See? People got waaaay harder life than me. Here I am lamenting about how tough it is to be studying and working at the same time. She's doing just that and so much more. Her husband also. I admire their planning in all these. I'd like to have that - but Dearie's still a "small boy". Still studying. And I simply don't think I'm ready fo it, but when I am, I hope Dearie would be, and we could start looking into how we could live our lives in the long term.
I really wonder how JX does it. I should get my act together and work hard now. Suffer now better than later, like I always say.

Anyhoo, here's a little clip I watched a long time ago. You could say I ran out of funnies to post, but hey, this will have to do ya? Slapstick humour by Jim Carrey and William Ferrel on Saturday Night Live. Some mouth-to-mouth action too.

I want to watch this movie...... waiting for DVD to come out...

Mummy was busy washing all my soft toys (or during weekends they're known as kiki's toys). Now all of them are dry and ready to march back to my room.

That tall vase is our "fish tank" btw. Heehee... The vase came with a large bouquet of flowers some long time back when I ordered from Far East Flora. My mum especially loved the vase. Haha!!!

I think I'll get another bouquet this year for mummy around Christmas. I can't possibly buy for myself right? Gives me an excuse to go browse their webbie. I see the catalogue also happy.

Some time back my friends and I had some banter about the "perfect proposal". We settled by saying that the best one is the most unexpected one. I guess it's true isn't it? If you can actually think up how it'll be like, then when it happens, there'd be no element of surprise would there?
But of course it's got to have the package of all the wonderful things.. Else why would she say YES hor? Hahaha!
