I absolutely love this song. Got reminded about it by Prissy's ipod today. Tell me. How much more romantic can Bryan Adams get?

Had a great time last night with Char, Joel & Char's bro, Allan. His company's open bar is absolutely Fantastic. Enjoyed myself through & through. We had like an unlimited flow of drinks. Not that we drank a lot but it's free drinks people. Free drinks! We even had a mini tutorial on all the diff. aspects of alcohol. So cool.

Went off for some abalone & sharks fin after (I know how it sounds). Not exactly what u have in mind but still, totally good & genuine stuff. We even got a treat!! WAHAHAHHAHA. So blessed.

I really do feel so v blessed & v loved. Beyond all the wonderful people I have around me, this whole week has just been filled with uncountable blessings. Keep getting treats on I believe almost every, if not, every other day. Good right! And to top it of (here comes the highlight), I just got a brand new Fossil watch!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO~!

It's a lil ex but mum said that it's an early birthday present & I totally love it. Got to choose it myself. AHAHAHHAAHHAHA. Thanks Mum!

It's going to be a great 19. I just know it.

Jodie is v happy & v blessed. =]

Okay. I only have 10 mins before lunchtime so this is coming in like ultra-fast!

Had the most awesome time with char & JX last night. The gang's officially called JJJC which stands for JX, Joel, Jodie, Char and it is in relation, a 100% UNRELATED to that school. If u know what I'm talking about.

In any case, yesterday night was so fun. I must say that I'm not a fan of pizza. Never was and never will be. But! Hanging out with them makes stuffing absolutely worth it. Everytime we hang out, we'll stay til the shop closes on us. Hahaha. Happy times ppl. Happy times.

In any case, shops should open longer! Just think about it. Singaporeans are like night cats and on top of it, we're supposed to be a tourist attraction with a vibrant night life! Can u imagine ppl chasing business out when it's only 10pm? Life's so demanding now & everybody's making full use of every waking hour! People even step out of their house at 10pm. We should be catering to a new culture everyone.

Anyway, u should all know by now that a terrorist is at large!!!!
And I'm working right smack in the city, at a statutory board.

Oh Lord.

Ok. It's bored at work a.k.a blogging time again!

This whole sore throat thing's a total pest but oh wells, at least I'm off the phone for a while. How nice. Seriously, being off phone is like having hot soup on a rainy day. Absolute comfort & relief.

I really do miss times like those. (referring to hot soup & rainy days) U know moments that are just so beautifully natural, unplanned and just a wonderful occurence of chance? Allow nature to take its course. Planning, goal setting & all is wonderful but once in a while, it'll be nice to just take pride & joy in the moment. In fact, it makes more sense to be grateful for the little things. Stuff like that keeps a person happy everyday.

Maybe it's not they don't exist anymore, we're probably just too busy too notice. I shall make an effort to be more appreciative & observant now. *pats eyes*

I'm such a loser when it comes to stuff like that. Hoho. I guess everyone's got something to fall hopelessly in love for right? *smiles like a total geek*

Speaking of which, Big City Dream's been on my repeat for like the past 3 days! Seriously, I have no idea why. It's just soothing. Now we know why people say music's therapy.

I want to make a trip to the countryside and maybe just hike around a lil bit. Have some natural exercise. Working out in the city's such a total bore. Like what I always say, city girl with a country heart. Look at it. Just look at it.

*I can smell those yellow flowers*

Alrightey. Here are some random pictures from the past month.

Naughty girl 1 & I (1st day of CNY)

Naughty girl 2 & I (1st day of CNY)

Just if u haven't seen my new (technically old now) hair. Tada!!! I tell B1 that this is my match.com pic. WAHAHAHHA.

Ros, Jo, Ting (B4 CGC meeting)

Sushi gone. (Yesterday evening)

That's all folks! And u're probably wondering what am I doing, crazily blogging at 4.30 am. Honestly, I have no idea. These days, I can only sleep for a max. of 5 hours only. Can u believe it? 5! This is so unlike the usual me.

Speaking of which, I really do feel that I'm changing quite a bit nowadays. It's like metamorphosis. (crap. That Hilary Duff song's in my head now) Even so, I have the peace in my heart that this' a good change so all's well. (picture of water chestnut drink pops up)

Oh my. I should quit being so random. FOCUS Jodie. FOCUS.

p.s hope that u like the new blog song. I know I do. Can listen to this over & over again. Good music's like Shakespeare. *smiles*

Big City Dreams -Head North. Turn Left.

Can we stay the same if I move half the world away
We'll float off through the night and hope to meet somewhere in between
And the sunshine will give every story a bright side another happy ending
On the West Coast you'll never need a raincoat, dreaming's what we're doing out here

Will the stars shine the same on your side of half the world away
Wish upon a moonlit sky that I will be back again someday
And the night life a temporary escape but
You'll do right and I will do the same
On the West Coast you'll never need a winter coat, waiting's what I'm doing out here

Every story has an end but I prefer to begin again
Just like a book I've never read
I'd prefer to begin again

Wooo...
Wooo...
Wooo...
Wooo...

Every story has an end but I prefer to begin again
Just like a book I've never read
I'd prefer to begin again

Ok. I'm back. Healthy this time.

Thanks for all your concern & prayers. Feeling tons better already.

It's been a pretty odd & rough week.

Injured my tendon on tuesday, fever came & voice went on wednesday. Knocked out for like 10 over hours since yesterday night.

Absolutely HATE getting sick. Felt like a total bum the whole day. Needless to say, pills. Urgh.

In any case, I'm fast on the road to full recovery!! Determined to get my health, life & fitness back this year. Go go go! Focus Jodie Goh. FOCUS.

On a happy note, ever wondered what's the best way to 'educate' your little cousins without acting like a big fat bully?

AHAHHAHAHA. Check this out!

Evil CROC bites helpless TEDDY!!!!!!!

My lil cousin totally squealed & jumped when he saw this pic. HAHA. This will teach those naughty, brat behaving ones to stop their nonsense. On a 2nd thought, it still is a lil childlish & bully-like. Oh wells. Beats chasing them around the entire house with a ratan right? Hahaha.

Once a kid, always a kid.

Had a great meal with Char & JX at tuckshop today. Food was good and the company was great. Had so much fun just chatting & sharing with each other. Thank God for such wonderful friends that not only understands but goes through both the good & the bad as well.

Will be turning 19 in just a little over 2 months.

Have been putting quite some thought into what I really want to do with the time I have ahead. There are dreams & desires that are and will be left unshared. Even so, one thing's for sure. I want to make the best use of this life, esp my youth!

Grabbing opportunities as they come my way, explore places, try new things & just give myself more space & opportunity to grow. To open these eyes to new people and adventures. Just to experience them & understand that along this way, I'll become the person that I know I can and want to be.

I know that I'm young & that I'll make mistakes, but shouldn't we all have something to live & chase after for? Adulthood is not a given. No one can or should give it to you. Neither is it something that comes with age. Adulthood is something that we have to grow & mature into. Knowing that as I grow, I'll know myself better, have a clearer vision of my future & just live everyday with greater purpose, joy & happiness.

It's not self-indulgent or wasting my life away but a call to have my own shot at life. To have the freedom to try. Freedom to love the things I love. Freedom to make mistakes.

So many people live their life working hard, trying and giving up. Eventually, they just end up getting lost, settling for the very least & become, not unhappy but just, plain mediocre.

I don't want an unfulfilled life of regret, always wondering or constantly feeling so limited & defeated. Even if I do make mistakes, at least I know that they are my own and after which, at least I'll find greater courage to overcome them right?

I'll always honor & be eternally grateful for the things that I have but chasing a dream, a good & true dream, doesn't mean selfishness or forsaking these things. It just means u treasure, learn, keep what's true & just become a better person.

Feel so over-protected, naive and unaware. The world is so big and having lived for 19 years, I have tried little and have nothing to account for. Something must have went wrong somewhere. I'm gonna live differently and more powerfully from now on. Enough of allowing fear, doubt & confusion to lead my life. I'll take & create my own chances. U never know how high u can fly until u flap your wings right?

I don't need understanding, I don't need blessings, I don't even need support. I just need trust. A word unspoken & so rarely given. However, even without it, I will still go my own way. Only time will tell whats right and whats wrong. Decisions last a lifetime.

*sings* When I fall in love~. lalalala.

Ahhhhh yes. Love is in the air people!

Looking at all the romance & renewal of vows in Svc yesterday, I must say that it really does stink to be single in such a season.

Oh wells. There's always next year, the following year, the year after... AHHHHH!

In any case, still do feel thoroughly blessed. It's nice watching couples in love. Especially the old ones. Haha.

Have to admit that I'm quite a hopeless romantic. Anyone who knows me well enough will know just how crazy I am when it comes to Richard Gere, romance movies & love stories. Typical but still undeniably, a soft spot for most girls. (most guys too. admit it.)

Best thing about valentine is not just all about the romancing but the fact that you have every reason to be open about it. All the skeptics & cynics can just keep their big mouths shut!

There's enough sadness in the world without us adding any to it. Guess that's why I like believing in love, goodness and all the rest of it. If valentine's means being honest with how u feel, I do hope everyday's V day.

To all the couples out there, tons of love & blessings be upon you both! Enjoy!

I'm finally blogging. OH YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Firstly, dong dong dong chiang!!! It's chinese new year!!!!

Can't tell u how appreciative I am for the longgggg holiday. It's great to be able to just sit back & spend time with family & friends.

All's pretty well so far exp for the fact that there's TOO MUCH FOOD!

Can u believe it? There's like a snowstorm in China where food level's totally dying & here we are, stuffing our face with more makan after makan. Singaporeans are truly a blessed bunch I tell you.

Talking about blessings, just summed up my first collection last night. I must say, looking at the number of red packets, I truly didn't expect so much. But hey, it's pretty good! And guess what? I'm not done yet! WAHAHAHAHAH. Many many more families to visit. YAY. *shake shake*

Hohohoho.

Alrightey. Just came across this song. Shall dedicate it to my dear Melia pang a.k.a FAT CHILD. Hope u see this soon. Can't believe that I'm saying this but I really am starting to miss your cockiness. Btw, u still owe me presents!! Send it over please. For starters, how about a cute lil Aussie boy? Blond & blue eyes. Thank You!!! WAHAHAHAHA.

Dionne Warwick -That's what friends are for

And I, never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if, I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For/In good times and/in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

And then, for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my hearts
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For/In good times and/in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
