For you to decipher...

I braved myself through the dark little things
scattering over the pathways
fleeing everywhere like blind creatures

I cringed at the sight of the rush
one even stopped as if dared me to cross
with the raging headgears all armed

I braved myself to cross the paths
the whims... I was disgusted later
amazed of my courage

perhaps my fear could be conquered
afterall I braved myself to walk through my darkest fear

Not much literature content, actually, damn retarded if the mystery is disclosed. Haha, an expected reaction would be "what the fuck?" I find my writing amusing with such silliness :p I wrote that during lunch break, nerd? maybe. mad? yeah I think so too. *laughs* What is Joanne's darkest fear?

A letter to the Big Guy
Dear Mister,

Thank you for keeping me alive, despite my carelessness last Saturday. (: I was not killed, and was not scolded, only burnt a hole in my pocket, at least I still have the other pocket. I am really very grateful and I treasure life even more. Also, I promised to say a prayer for the safety of "the" postman on behalf of my friend. Please keep him safe (I think should be a he, but in any case is a she, please keep her safe) Thank you.
love, Joanne.
p.s. Thank you also for having me blessed with such wonderful loving family & friends.

Ruff Tuff the Giraffe & Funky Monkey I'm afraid this tale has to be waited at the moment. Joanne has no time for story telling or story writing. Perhaps in December.

Updates:
Joanne is panicking, got the CFA exam slip last Friday, and she is way behind study schedule. So sorry guys, she most probably has to forego entertainments & choir practices.
Joanne is going home next Wednesday night till the weekend, ((: is so looking forward to going home.
Joanne is cooking more often these days, save money.
Joanne feels bit weird about getting permanent resident status, don't know why. (damn, I don't always have to give a reason for feeling weird ok)
YES, Joanne is still bitchy, haha, and she's loving it, omg, serious retardedness.

On a serious note, I'm getting quite used to work, despite the fact that I still have trouble waking up every morning. After all I'm a piggy. Focus, study hard Joanne, the rest of the people who are studying too, yes, it's time to start mugging, it's November, soon, heck, November Rain is already here, don't you see it has started raining?

Joanne sends her love *HUGS! mwah*

funky monkey

has a good friend - ruff tuff giraffe ((:

I'm going to write a story about funky monkey & ruff tuff giraffe, someday, soon. Not today, not tomorrow, because the author's hand is dying (can't type well), the thinker head is spinning from coughing (can't concentrate on getting a good storyline).

Joanne is going crazy, seriously. because she's coughing her lungs out, and she will be out of breath soon. How can one breathe with their lungs outside?

Yes I know I have a sexy voice ((: don't be jealous. And, stop making fun of my "shut up"s It's not even funny. TSK!

My colleagues are funny people too, seriously, I think my job is not bad, just that the pay is really low but well, I have not much complaints at least for now. Money is everything but NOT everything. okay.. what am I talking? Haha... I'm crazy. (:

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying life being a kid, sometimes, with my fellow kid friend, ruff tuff the giraffe.

I should rest now... *cough cough* yes I will go and see a doctor tomorrow. Stop nagging.

love, Joanne piggy (:

rediscovering life (:

museums visit, today (: nice, I like it. free, fun, & full of insights haha, like yeah right...

Kurien gave me dunno how many Indian points today, for Jay walking *puzzled* I don't even know whether is that a good thing or bad.

I heard from a friend that a friend of a friend of mine is earning $15k per month as an engineer, in my mind I was like, "fuck!" Shit, I feel like quitting my job hahaha... why am I even working there with that meager pay and working like shit? I have no idea seriously. Anyway I was just kidding, I'll stay where I am and learn as much I can regarding marine industry (: and if opportunity comes, we'll see. I have accepted to the fact I don't have the luck to earn big bucks, so I will just be content with my pathetic sum I receive monthly.

My manager said I look bored at work *frowns*
My colleague said I look laid back *more frowns*

Oh great, like just the kind of feedback I'd need, am I jeopardizing my own career? I better not.

Happy blue birds ((: Joanne is so random... I know, but I don't know why.

And my friend asked me to switch company, higher pay, much better incentives for the same position *speechless* No, I can't, I think my boss will just kill me seriously. Haha.. bad idea.

is there nothing interesting in an adult's life? *wonders*

I enjoy walking around enjoying the greens, reading, writing, singing, baking, catching up with family & few close friends, walking by the beach, spend my day lazily reading a good book ((: such luxury. Sounds like a nice dream ((: indeed it is.

I feel like I'm a slave to the root of all evil $$$$$ Help!

Life is picking up at a quick pace for me... I need to find more time, to find satisfaction & enjoyment in my work.

At this point in life, I'm like rediscovering what life is all about... indeed it is different. Now that I am really IN the society, the REAL working society, if you get what I mean. Interesting, it is! No doubt about that, and Joanne still muses at the musings of humans!

Live life & laugh! ((:

Thanks, mum & friends *smiles* who never fail to make me laugh, laugh with me & at me *bleh*

love, Joanne.

children's day (:

Joanne is retarded, seriously. Like totally *roll eyes*

"Oh, I've got a missed call.. who would that be.."
"Someone who called you."
"No, someone who missed me called me." *smiles*
"Awesome, you're getting it back again."

I can't stop dreaming of the impossible & wanting to believe dreams are achievable.
"Why can't we do the things that we love and earn a living from it?"
"Like what?"
"Singing, reading, baking, joking etc."
"Singing is a one off thing, irregular."
"I can be a book reviewer."
"But you have to read boring books as well."
"Easy, just give a bad review, for all you know it'll be the best review ever!"

"I want to start my hearty tarts business."
"You'll get bored after everything is settled."
"Will I? Hmm..."

"There's still my BHS..." ((:

Oh and, Kurien & I missed the 96 bus because we were having our mini Children's Day celebration.

"Cockroach!"
"Look, the adults are too occupied with their worries, bills, awful week at work.. to notice the cockroach."
"But we did."
"which explains why we are here and not in the bus."

Seriously, Hollywood should hire us to do stand-up comedy I don't mind to start off at some suburb in Texas. Why Texas? No idea. Just random.

Alright, time to wake up. September has ended. And to all the children out there and to the grownups who are still kids, Happy Children's Day!

HUGS (:

Love, Joanne (always a kid at heart)
