Lesson of the night:
Love & hate is a really thin line. I'm starting to think that I was even confused in the first place. Both are intense emotions.
Really need to refocus and sort it out.
Running out of time.
Maybe I'm just not too sure anymore.
I tie my own laces.
Today my colleague said to me:
"From today onwards, I'll have to build the fence, tie my own laces, trip and fall, have to dust myself off and stitch up my wound"
I know exactly what he means.
WELCOME.

Creep.... Creep... Creep
Crawling through the tangled vines
She creeps, creeps, creeps.
Hiding from the green creatures
Who have been searching for her
She attempts to dodge dirty glances
And hide behind shadows of the wild
But the songs of the forest engulf her
And she has no where to run
The skies are dark, the wolves they cry
Under the watch of the gargoyles
Because the green creature will come
Nearer and nearer until there is no distance
Creep, creep, creep...
How long more can she last?
With a swish of her black slippery slither
She disapears into the night.
She creeps, creeps, creeps.

Because the green creature will come
Nearer and nearer until there is no distance
Creep, creep, creep...
How long more can she last?

She disapears into the night.
Reflections
All alone at home. Parents are in Beijing. Sister is out.
It's just so quiet, I sit alone in the living room, trying to start on something due tomorrow morning for work. Argh. It's 1110PM, I should be asleep instead.
I miss Ming. I wish he was back from KL, just having him around makes me feel safer. It's scary how someone else's presence can make you feel stronger. Or perhaps I'm all too weak.
I wish Christmas would come much faster, so I wouldn't have to survive the weak ahead. War.
I need to hit my sales target this month, if not I will hate myself so damn much.
Today, change was offered to me. I wonder if I should take it up. I wonder if have the mettle to take to take it up. Somehow, no matter how weak I always think I am, I know I am a survivor. I have come way tooooo far to allow fear to hold me back. Although I think I often am too small for a task, somehow I always surprise myself. I was born a fighter.
I'll stay that way.

Hong Kong Disneyland -- Magical Wonderland
I've never been a fan of Hong Kong. Been there twice before, but never left loving the place. It's polluted, and due to the fact that I can't speak Cantonese there, it's like bring a fish out of the pond. The only thing I can say I truly enjoy about HK is really the company I have there. It's the friends that make HK enjoyable. Shopping itself isn't much of an attraction to me. What they have there, we mostly have in Singapore too!
So when I was told by Ming that we we're going to Hong Kong Disneyland, I was quite apprehensive. Yea, I needed a break from work, but was it worth pain of flying there early morning on Friday? Was it worth sacrificing my last day of leave at work just to go down? Did I mention we had to be at the airport by 6AM???

Well, I am glad to say that it totally was.
Partially because I was over fatigued with work, perhaps I still wasnt excited on Thursday night itself. But on Friday morning, upon reaching Disneyland Hotel, that feeling of lethargy totally changed.
It's really in the small details, I guess. The 7 dwarves faces along the mirror in the bathroom, on the the tissue holder on the bed linen. It just takes you back to your childhood.. really.
However, me being my lazy self, the first thing I did was test out the bed... in our sizeable room with 2 double beds!!!!
But back to the good stuff, we soon met up for tea (yay!) and had the cutest desserts! Even the butter and ketchup had mickey mouse shapes! Plus the great people from Disney gave us a kaleidescope thingy, which you can see redmummy and cheesie checking out.
By the time we actually headed to Disneyland itself, it was 630PM. Warning to all that if you actually go in November period, being a jacket, the windchill itself brings the temp to as low as 10 deg celsius... brrrr... if ur jackets unless ur tired of living...
The 1st 2 rides we hopped on were the "teacup" ride as well as "it's a small world". I love he tea cup ride, because I thought it was the only time I could take revenge on Ming by swinging him in the cup so hard, he's get motion sickness. *muahahah* However, sadly, he was the one who ended up spinning me round and round that I felt giddy after the ride. So much so that I could't walk in a straight line...
haha. but I recovered quite fast though. I love the rise, I swear I could go on it a hundred times and still not get tired of it!
It's a small world was awesome too. We were brought through a water ride along a tunnel where there were miniature countries from all over the world. It was pretty amazing to see the different nationalities in their ethnic costumes. Unfortunately, no Singapore. Guess we're just one red dot.
The thing I love most most most was the fireworks!!!! I'm a huge sucker for fireworks!!!! Plus they provided us free with these special sorta glasses that turns any light point into hearts and snowflakes once you look thru them. It's hard to describe, but they are the most amazing pair of magic glasses in the world. Imagine looking at everything in shapes of hearts... it's a lovely feeling!! Especially behind the backdrop of the majestically lighted castle.
The next morning, we went to "The Enchanted Gardens" for buffet breakfast. The selection was pretty amazing... dim sum, western, congee, pancakes, cornflakes, you name it they have it. Plus the highlight was getting to take pics with the disney chatracters! They were roaming around taking pics with the guests. Imagine, getting to hug a life sized Mickey Mouse!!
Then off to disneyland, we caught the winnie the pooh ride, space mountain, treetop hike, mickey's 4d theatre performance and a stitch theatre performance.
Some more pics of the girls having fun with pseudo character ears sold at the hotel shop!
Disneyland is really a dream come true. it brings out the kid in you, no matter how serious an adult you can be. You forget your worries, forget your troubles, and your problems just melt into oblivion. You get to be an absolute child again, just for that day.
Will post more pics of what we did... seems like we covered so much although I was there for less than 36 hrs!
Stay tuned!

We visited some very yummy disney shops within the compound and surprising to me, the gifts inside aren't that expensive. They were actually very affordable and Ming and I left with a whole bunch of goodies!

I'm going to Hong Kong Disneyland!
Into the arms of unconditional acceptance -- into the arms of Mickey Mouse *oh how blasphemous*
The last time I visited Disneyland was in Florida, where I had the best time ever. I remember going during or close to fall, where the weather was pretty chilly already, but I guess everyone would weather a bit of cold to meet the cartoon characters of your childhood. It culminated in a night long firework display, just so damn freaking awesome. But that was quite some time ago...
I'll be heading for Hong Kong this time around this weekend, just for Disneyland. Yup, you heard me right, just for Disneyland. Will be going with Boss Ming, Boss Stewie, Audrey, Mike and Wendy.
The child in you needs a break ever so often, especially with the stress at work (don't get me started)...
Catch up with me here because I'll be poting updates during the trip.
XOXO eStee
