moving here as my old blog has ceased to exist…. starting on a clean slate! :) my old entries are all moved here: http://patchesofthots.typepad.com/ My other “fun” blog is here - http://patchesofthots.tumblr.com/Tumblr (3.0; @ethots)http://ethots.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/9ec2f3e8c17f93633b836956e1466145/tumblr_mg1ys8vppW1qdzduro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It’s hard to imagine that I’m engaged. </p> <p>I think it’s right.</p> <p>Every time I make a decision, I’d ask myself if I will regret it….</p> <p>I am sure this is one that I will not regret. At least I know I am happy. We are happy. </p> <p>To pen it down for memories…I was engaged on 22.12.12. Just a day before his birthday. </p> <p>Guess this “yes” will be the best present for his birthday. </p> <p>Looking forward to a happy life ahead.</p>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/39564987308http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/39564987308Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:57:43 +0800patchesofthots<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mag5tfKkKW1qdzduro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Happy I got this pair of Toms!!! Finally. I have been looking at Toms for the longest time. Just no ideal design that catches my eye. And also due to the limited availability in SG. </p> <p>Dearie got this for me as a make-up pressie. </p> <p>After the drama, I honestly wish nothing like that will ever happen again. </p> <p>Remember. I am who I am. Changing me is going to make things different.</p>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/31658085587http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/31658085587Sun, 16 Sep 2012 14:29:10 +0800patchesofthots<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m76ow6siRT1qcqjsfo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>definitely need this motivation now. </p><p>hang in there. </p><p>it will be over before i know it.</p><p>stress level at its maximum.</p><p>peace.</p>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/28902976568http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/28902976568Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:03:19 +0800patchesofthots<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m77kukUgos1qdzduro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I know when something is wrong. It is bugging me alot. And i mean, a whole damn lot. </p> <p>Sometimes, i don’t understand why it is difficult to sit down and just trash things out. </p> <p>What makes people think that the cold silent treatment is going to make things better? </p> <p>To folks who think that way, listen! </p> <p>Shutting up isn’t going to solve any problems! It won’t fix things. Talk. Compose your thoughts, and speak up. </p> <p>Gosh. </p> <p>I just wish for clear blur skies soon. </p> <p>In fact, I dont even know what’s wrong.

Seeing how the family comes together. Enjoying precious moments, warming up to each other…..it’s enduring. </p> <p>Manage to take a candid picture of bro and Ben playing game. Knowing each other. Getting closer by the minute. It’s adorable. </p> <p>They will be leaving for home soon. It’s a pity. Hope we will see them soon. </p> <p>It’s another moment again which reminds me - family is everything. <br/> —<br/> Friends on the other hand…something hurting and disappointing happened weeks ago. </p> <p>It’s still a thorn in the flesh. It is really hurting to have a friend of many donkey years to pick on every single word I said. Taking it to be his definition instead of mine. </p> <p>In such a case, what else is there to say? Nothing. </p> <p>It is better left as that.</p>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/26763727175http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/26763727175Sun, 08 Jul 2012 14:46:48 +0800patchesofthots“Open a book this minute and start reading.

I think we really work well together…I hope it is the same for them too…</p> <p>Still overwhelmed by the emotions today. It’s such a mix it is hard to handle. </p> <p>This is the one job that I have to say, has made me really happy and satisfied all these years. Just that things have become stagnant and stale that I have to move on to a better place (I really hope it will be better) and experience a whole new world outside of my comfort zone. </p> <p>My nerves are now wreaking with a little sadness, nervousness, and excitement. I don’t know that to feel honestly. I should just go with the flow right? </p> <p>*nervous laughter* </p> <p>One thing I am going to miss most is - working with my boyfriend. That’s how we met - At work. That’s how our feelings grew and developed into what we have today. </p> <p>I’m sure one day, we will work together again. We make a great team surprisingly. </p> <p>This is the workplace that makes me realise how I enjoyed what I was doing. That lead me to meet my new love…and not forgetting, all the lovely clients that I’ve met all these years. If it wasn’t for all these, I can’t get to where I am today.</p> <p>This is the one job I haven’t regretted accepted. </p> <p>Glad to say, I didn’t waste my 4-years of youth with the company. </p> <p>I hope all goes well in the new job next week. I really hope, I’d be welcomed into a great new world of beautiful “Hellos”. </p>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/23228976147http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/23228976147Thu, 17 May 2012 22:23:04 +0800workpatchesofthots<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3qm1f0yvv1qdzduro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tears almost burst out as I read the third book of the Hunger Games, Mocking Jay.

It’s too short. </p> <p>Then again, every holiday we had, no matter how long is never enough. But still, we had fun. Those times spent were precious. </p> <p>Can’t wait for our next holiday..where should we go?</p> <p>Now that this escapism is over, the thought of a new upcoming challenge dawned on me. </p> <p>My new job. </p> <p>It’s a mixed feeling. 1) i feel excited. 2) i feel scared. </p> <p>Excited about the new job. But worried about how things may turn out. </p> <p>I just pray for the best.

The effort they made today, is amazing. They really wanted to make a good impression so much that you can tell that they are on edge. And by that, I mean everyone was on edge. With an objective of making sure they will feel comfortable. </p> <p>I deeply appreciate my lovely family to the roots. </p> <p>Really am lucky and so blessed. </p> <p>I love them all… :) </p> <p>Next big thing, is on Monday…I hope all will be right. </p>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/21980142550http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/21980142550Sat, 28 Apr 2012 23:21:19 +0800familypatchesofthots<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnbm73rE7Q1qczjlgo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/21774452388http://ethots.tumblr.com/post/21774452388Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:37:00 +0800patchesofthots<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rtOvBOTyX00?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>With bestie’s wedding coming very very soon, she’s spreading lotsa of love along with it.
