Hello Moto!

Yesh! A new phone for new year. Motorola RAZR2 V9 in Mahogany =)

I'm havent been able to shift my ass to start on the Taiwan Trip entries. I see that Ting has started.

Too much things on my mind since the return, including the distractions from above.

Lessons, tutorials, work stuff, family events, etc... Simply no time. Plus I've yet to recover from the clubbing on Xmas in Taipei. Still feeling lethargic from that 1 night lack of sleep. Seriously cannot make it.

I'll try to get to this, at least with the photos i hope.

To end this year with a right note:

Hope 2007 has been GREAT for u all. Even if not, it's ok coz is gonna to be over in 5hrs time.

May 2008 be FANTASTICALLY TERRIFIC for all!!!

HAppY NeW YeaR!!!

Home =)

6 days, 5 cities, 4 hotels, 3 in a room, 2 luggages, 1 Taiwan

I'm back!

mobile no batt, camera no batt, person also no batt.

Will post travel entries soon once this crazy week is over.

Finally...

The long sought after holiday is finally realised!!!

Leaving for taiwan in 12hrs.

Will be back on Xmas.

Cheers =)

空

突然间，感觉有点莫名的空虚。

应该是最近看太多，听太多，知太多，想太多。。。

为什么我越不想让世人的定义主导我的生活，这种种却不停在我身边打转着，困扰我，混淆我

都不知道自己到底要的是什么。 本来不以为然，现在却有点紧张。

好累哟。。。

is a need or desperation? shrugz...

Nostalgic

It's the end of the year! A period of mixed happiness & faint nostalgia...

I think i've more or less achieved 60% of my new resolution, other than the work hard at work i think?! Hah!

Met up with the girls last thurs for Jun's b-day. What an 'accidental' evening! Gosh... wasted wine.
Anyway, it's been a while since we all gather & talk to our heart's content! Since mid-autumn i think.

It's amazing how the topic changes as years went by.

From gossips in schs, teachers & high profile kids to cute guys to hellish college life to clubbings, alcohol, kisses, sex to marriages, it's so freaking long ain't it?! Hah!
All there at every phase of life...
It's so incredulous to have a bunch of close friends & grow up together, seeing how one another
change over the years, a ear to listen and a voice to keep one on track although advices aren't heeded everytime. ( i'm guilty of that i know)

More laughter, more tears,
More reasons, more cheers,
More everything, in all the ways, you are

All of us are in such different stages of life right now and it's gonna be even diverted in future.
Yet i always said, We r stuck for life - for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us apart.
(sounds familar?! haha!)

Advanced Merry X'mas!

Countdown to Taiwan: 4 days!

Raining

It's been raining for the past week, monsoon i guess.

I've a love & hate affair with cold weather.

The cooling weather is nice to sleep, no sticky feeling from perspirations.

BUT I feel hungry all the time in times like this and headache from the struggle to stay awake. Damn!

Here i am in a air-conditioned office in a cool rainy afternoon alone, with a tinge of emptiness in my stomach!

Gosh... plus the pathetic lunch i had. Haizzzzz...

I've been having the same thing for lunch since last week - sticky brown rice porridge with some veges.

it taste not bad but if you eat it too frequently, it gets very bland and gross. Almost similar to the pathetic gruel hat Oilver Twist had, i think; only difference is this brown rice cos a freaking costs $4/kg. (FYI - normal white rice is around $1.20 - $2.oo per kg)

Thankfully, ever since Siti know that the brown rice expensive . She tot she is doing her boss a great favour by scrimping on my portion, from 5/6 of a tingkat to today's barely 1/3.

I should be grateful since i have less of grostesque food but I don't feel good having to starve like this. Sounds conflicitng i know.... haiz..

It's a totally different story at home.

Same thing, raining whole day but I get yummilicious food whole day long. O man... i'm getting homesick. Hah!

I got a new bolster recently, so nice to sleep.

One minus point is I can't wake up in time during weekdays!!!

Haha!

Countdown to Taiwan: 10 days =)

Be glad that I'm still here

Almost got knocked down by a car ytd, not once but twice.

The first occurence happen after work when i wanted to take 65 to Bras Basah to meet ''India Mama, A".
It was my fault lah. I cut at the front of a bus just as it was taking off.
Guess i was too sleepy n gong gong hence affect my 'jay-walk' judgement.
Got reprimand by the bus driver, no choice, it was indeed my fault. Almost got him into trouble.

At the moment, i didn't sense anything. It was when i sit down, think back before fear gripped me. Kinda freaked out. Wanted to tell somebody but dunno who to call, didn't want to explain also. Scary.

2nd time was on my way home. Was crossing the road near the petrol station when this Ah Sia Kid suddenly swerve in. I was only 5cm away. Any nearer, you wont see this entry today. He didn't honk me, so i assume he has a larger portion of fault. hah!

Anyway, met Alpa ytd at Bras Basah. Despite knowing tt i was within proximity to hard core town, i wore rugged jeans n polo tee, praying hard tt we wont walk to any atas area.

Unsurprisingly, she mentioned something like, "The next time we meet, NO polo tee please"

I replied, "U're not the 1st person who told me this, hah! I'm serious!"

During the 2hrs we met up, the topic keep evolving ard me even though i tried very hard to change subject. Basically, the gist is
- Don't be so reserved
- Go out more n make new friends
- Find a boyfriend
- Dress up n Be confident

She wasn't being bossy, purely being concern coz I've been single for as long as she knows me.

I told her i was waiting for men to drop from the sky but kanna shoot back.

" U must at least go out under the sky right? " Alamak

=_='''

I've encountering such topic recently. From relatives at family gathering, to friends & even the neighbourhood aunties of mum's network & even my lady boss. Haizzzz, oh my gosh!

Like how to tell them I'm not the picky one. I don't even have the options to choose in the first place! Hah!
For a moment, i almost tot being single is a freak. haha!

Seriously speaking, from what i've seen all these years.
I rather be alone than get myself into a full load of unnecessary/obligatory problems & troubles, espcially those resulted from desperate implusion..

Aiya, let nature take its course lah. What is meant to be, will be.

At least, I'm still alive n kicking right?! =)

Back!

I'm back after taking a hiatus, from blogging that is.

PC down... Exams... off from work. Simply no opportunity to get online, well turns out to be an advantage at least i can focus on studying.

Set up the old 56k Dial up for temporaily measure; was so disgusting slow + pkus the irritaing modem noise. I flew to get a new graphic card this morning so that we can get the 'fast' PC working.

Doubt I'll do as good as previous semester this time round, 4 papers spread over 2 weeks - TOO Freaking Draggy. I prefer to finish up everything in a continuous flow. 长痛不如短痛.

Studying at the library is quite an costly affair. I shall commence such routine when nearer the exam period next semester.

So many things to buy; so many things to do = increased expenditure

Cut hair, see a sinseh for my sprained feet, do pedi; get Jun's bday pressie; all toiletries (y do they all run out at the same time?); travel preparations (exchange $, etc); divorce my problematic mobile.

Getting pay on monday. I wonder if i have 13th month this year, but most probably wont be much. Since i already exceeded my off days by 5 days. =(

Collected air tix this afternoon wth Ting. So excited! 20th Dec.

Watched Lust; Cautious after that with her friend & dinner @ Sakae.

Should i dye my hair for a more refreshed look?

Sigh... I need a good rest before i can organised my thoughts properly.

To Jun: Have a Good Trip! Seeya soon =)

Die!!!

Just to drop a note to indicate my presence.

No time to update.

Will be bogged down by exams, exams, exams and exams till 30th Nov.

Daydreaming n dozing off all day long when i'm supposed to STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!

4 days left only to 1st paper... very jiat lat this sem... i'm so screwed. Haiz...

Good Luck to myself & to all in such dire situation as me.

BooBoo

Alright... i made a boo in the XX/XY in the previous post.

Yeah.. laugh as much as you want, Qi.

So freaking embarrrassing.

I acutally seek Jamie's clarification.

Me: Female is XX or XY
Jamie (frowning, giving that ''is that a trick question?'' look): erm.. XX?!
Me: Great =_='''

So freaking embarrrassing. Haiz......

To jun: it's very hard to explain leh.

Freaking out

Mum teased us with a 'bluff' on sunday.

Qi's reaction was 真的啊！

My reaction was eyes widen & gasps "Luggage!!!"

Nope, she didn't say we are going for vacation.

She said, " I'm pregnant." in a mischievous tone.

Nope, it is not confirm yet. She suspecting because she missed her period which are usually accurate & she got similar symptons like when she was having Jamie.

Dad is hoping that it might be just MENOPAUSE. He don't want to be laughed at again. Hah!
Judging from his stamina now, it is highly possible that any foetus will be XY XX and not XX XY.
I'm not sexist/prejudiced or what. Come on lah, i'm a XYXX too. Simply 够了吧？！All daughters leh.. he not sianz i sianz. Plus there will be evil relatives to make us a laughing stock, 茶余饭后的话家常。

Somemore Qi still went to say "wah, got to take care '妹妹' again ar!" Diaozzz.. like so excited like tt. I was more optimistic. I say we can name this 思维（尾）meaning last one. hahaha! Mum was saying can name 四拜 or 失败. Hahaha... funny Mother.

Anyway, nothing is confirmed yet. Need another month or so before we can check.

Jamie's reaction was the calmest & rationale. "Huh?! 你跟爸爸还有meh?! 这么老了还有ar? "

还有什么？我不知道。。。i think the Encyclopedia is doing her TOO good. I didn't even want to think FAR! Diaoz...

Sidenote: My exclamation of "Luggage!' means i want to 离家出走。In case you 're wondering what's the link.

Meet-Up

Last night's meet-up was very bizzare... not sure if this is an appropriate word but somehow it's just so weird & not the usual.

We met, eat, chit-chat a bit & left. period.

I reached home ard 9. Strangely early.

I came to realise as i was on my bed while waiting Uncle Zhou to start the chess game.

I inititated the gathering cos i realised we wont have much time soon. Exams & holidays, our schedules are back to back with each other. The next available period will be the 2nd week of Dec, for darling Jun's bday.

To Jun: Start thinking what you want after you've more or less cleared ur stuff.

Probably cos there's a new 'member' at the table, nobody really know what to say to him. There was an exchange of lame jokes instead, mine was extremely cold joke.

Quoted from YY after dinner, " I think think think very long, still dunno what to say to him"

I find this sentence quite funny. Hah!

Anyway, i really think i lack social skill. Bump into Brian from AJCSB. Other than saying 'what r you doing here?!" in an extremly alarmed tone. The rest of the conversation was lost in mumbles and rumbles. Hurhur... so lousy. *haiz*

Countdown to exams: 11days.
I don't feel prepared at all. I think this sem is gonna to so screwed.

Updates...

Decided to update a bit before ppl come knocking again. Hah!

Nothing much happen after the last entry. Even if it did, I can't remember.

Basically, an interesting & bizzare day out with Ting on sat. We went 四马路观音庙拜拜 before heading to central library.
The bizzare part - I saw "JacQ is online" via her msn! Weird right? I called Jamie who denied of using the pc at that moment. Even though she manage to decipher my password n log in to windows, my msn is of a different password leh.
I haven't figure out what exactly happen cos the stupid PC refused to boot up when i attempted.

The interesting part - 2 local, born, bred & educated singaporeans, were stranded in BUGIS! Unbelieveable! It took us some time & much more effort walking around trying to locate bus 851 stop. Finally we 'found' it behind the library. After waiting close to 30mins with no 851 in sight, we end up taking 133 to AMK & cab home.
Don't ask why we didn't take the train. At that point in time, the MRT seem so FAR FAR away.
Anyway, end of episode.
1 definite conclusion came out of this. We 2 can't join Amazing Race. Hah!

We tried to think of places when we can go for the gathering this Thursday but to no avail.
The theme is more or less 煮炒 but where?

Another strange thing is my period. It came for only a day & it was more like excessive discharge. Mum mentioned it sounds like implantation bleeding, haha! I gave a the 'diao' look.
I told it can only happen if I'm a hermaphrodite & I impregnate myself. haha!

Probably too stress from the studying recently. My body staging a rebel. Not to mentioned i took MC on thursday. Partly cos my back was aching badly, partly cos i was feeling lazy to go work also. =p Sigh...

Let Nov flies as fast as Oct, exams be gone soon & Taiwan faster reach!!!

Oh shit, need to pay sch fees again.

Capricorn Today:
Take care not to take on too much today, dear Capricorn. Your intentions are certainly good and your motivation pure, but even you are limited by the fact that there are a mere 24 hours in a day. Pick and choose your commitments carefully today to ensure that you can actually do what you say you will do. You will be more effective, and will get more satisfaction out of devoting your energy to a few just causes.

What movie genre are you?

Ever since Qi went back to at Hall 9, we get her updates via her blog. The way she MAGNIFYs little things of her daily life and put it across in such amusing, comical, entertaining, hilarious, humdinger, humorous, hysterical, laughable, ludicrous, merry, mirthful, playful, ridiculous, silly, slapstick, sportive, waggish, whimsical, witty manner.

Come on, it's obviously a Grade B picture!

We were discussing this topic last night over a box of Hor Fun, French Fries & 天涯侠医... a very cosy night without Dad, Mum & MinMin. We officially conclude mine is Independent (aka indie or amateur), avant-garde, experimental-underground films (usually low-budget), art-house, not many will understand kind of films. Hah!

It's amazing how 2 sisters of the same heritage, blood group, birthday month, up-bringing environment can be so different in terms of personality.

She is a typical sunshine, bubbly, big-eyed, ''i'm fat but i'm happy, none of your business'' & "everybody can be my friend" type of ''adorable' person.
Me, contrastingly, is those Attitude, Bo-Chup, darked face, "Don't mess with me, get lost" & "almost everyone is an eyesore", paranoid, suspicion, secretive, unfriendly, insecure, act cool, 欠扁 person. (guess no one can put myself down like that, hah!)

Qi mentioned that I'm actually quite funny at home, just that i don't bother to blog them or even think about them. I just mentioned & forget. True enough, probably i feel quite more at ease in familiar environment. Somehow, i just cant be myself outside. I find it quite stifled or suffocated, even with friends. Aiya, i think i'm just hermit, simply cant get use to those innate societal competitive, juxtaposition nature. Something along the line of an arty-fartsy person but no talent of any type! hahah...

Our blogging style speaks loudly of this. While she optimistically narrate occurences, small talk or 'freak accidents", i jot down the happenings & the after thoughts that triggered.

Simply put, She muse & ideate; I intellectualize & languished .

How different are we?
Both of us are going to blog about same thing. While mine digress into some personality analysis with some black humour of self-mockery, we see for hers*. =)

* entry not up yet.

七彩豆花

Lady Boss (LB) got me a chocolate flavoured tao huay (pudding?) today.

It taste like the pudding drink i alway had at QUICKLY many many years ago.

How Reminiscing... Haizzzz

CAPRICRON

~ You may be wondering whose shoulder you should cry on, dear Capricorn, when usually yours' is the shoulder that everyone else likes to use. The collar of your shirt is probably soaking wet by now, thanks to all the tears that have spilled on you. Your compassion for others is definitely one of your biggest strengths but be aware of the fact that it can also be one of your biggest weaknesses. ~

How freaking accurate. Recently, i've been so whelmed up by people's romantic-fanatic-drama-mama-marmalade. Either i have 'Aunt Agony' written on my forehead or I'm just the perfect audience for secrets-keeping, or the very fact that i'm always FREE (accord to Bro)

Somehow, unknowingly, i always kenna spiralled into ppl's affairs. 我也不想的。
So weird... Coz being human beings, I get rather affected & occupied for no reasons. I guess subconciously, curiousity & speculation is my 2nd nature. Most of the time, I can sense that something is so not right & b4 u no it, ppl started to tell me their issues. Intuition?! Maybe i give ppl a sense of security?! hah!

Haizzz... anyway, i've learn to listen, facilitate, guide and not to give suggestions. But it's just so habitual of me to come up with speculations to analyse the situations.
Sometimes 我看人还真准！

Anyway, ting was bugging me to update. Took some pic at Parkway Parade on wed while waiting for Leng to go cut hair. But i'm too lazy to download the nokia software + driver got problem. Everytime I plug something to the USB, it will blackout. I think PCs dun like me. Sighhhhhhh... sianz.

Extremely tired today, think im going to bed. Yes, 9pm on a friday.

(Leng: This is then call No Life, ok! hahah!)

Exams in 4weeks... stresssssssss! This sem is super slack.... DEAD.

Period = Moody

I think i'll end up be Seung-Hui Cho #2 if I stay in the States.

We are always in constant conflict with ourselves.

Few days ago, i was getting worried coz I miss my period.

Today, I was wishing it did not come at all.

I don't like period, mine actually.

This cyclical process is so queer.

Physically, I get tired easily as the iron level decreases.

Mentally, i get very paranoid. Somehow I always assume all the whispers & sniggers are all about lauging at, making fun or teasing me, be it in class or on trains.... I'll imagine I'll have the ability to tekan them back. Be it is supernaural powers or gangster authority or even gun. BANG!

Emotionally, I get very negative, so much so that i can feel the dark aura around me. shivers...

I get very mean, cold, attitude to others, more than usual that is.

Walking alone the streets back home, i wallow in self pity, of loneliness, of deaths.

I spend a lot of time thinking about what has gone wrong, what will go wrong or what is wrong about myself as a person.

Why ar?! I think my hormones are very disoriented, probably chemical imbalance in the brain, reduction in the amount of certain neurotransmitters.

Life... I hate myself. I'm getting crazy soon if these goes on.... sighh...

Again!!! =)

Okie... since Facebook is currently not available, i decided to blog. Haha...


So fed-up with my hair, need a cut badly but like no time leh... sianzzz

Had to go to Boss's house to work coz the internet is still down.

Almost got deafen by the 'young master'. He got a mild condition of Thalassemia, so don't think he need to cheong hill next time in NS, ah bo he make a good lousdpeaker.

Seeing the whole family, his Mum, Dad & Maid fussing over him to get ready for school in a span of 20mins, i can't help but shaking my head.

I got on web messenger to indicate my presence. Leng was so disturbed by my absence that she actually called me. hah! This woman ar... really ultimate. Gave me a quite shocking news today.

If you are reading this, remember this: 切记要三思而后行！那一场满城风雨刚刚平静下来，你才领悟。真是的！人家的一句话比我们的千言万语还有效？Tsk tsk tsk... 有一点欠扁，不过还好啦，能理解。Hahah!

Ok.. on something else.

I had to contact my service provider to fix the internet downtime. Apparantly, i really lost touch on my human skills. i can 'complain' very well with words but when it comes to verbalising it... sigh.. sad. Response not as quick as before, really very disconnected. Jiat lat...


Really must make use of my MDIS membership & go and sign up for all sorts of courses to upgrade.

The issue of getting a laptop happen to pop up several times recently. Maybe if there's a good bargain maybe can consider since i'm like always on the move.


oki... min min is fiddling with my ancient recorder. Really no flair leh, like mouse squeaking like that. Ho Ho Ho... 让我来好好的调教。。。 哈哈！

Jacq is offline

(Entry dated 01OCt07 but only managed to upload it now. Saw the 'knock knock' lah =p)

Nope! I’m not sick nor did I skip work. In fact, I’m right now sitting in front of office PC, typing this conscientiously.

Internet is down, so can’t do much work. Hence, decide to do an entry with MS Word 1st.
Qi was like asking why I never update recently, no that there isn’t happening.
Just that Gosh… simply no time to update, no energy too!

Now that I got time, I going to get very lor soh as I try to recall

The last few week zoom passed like whirlwind yet hazy as I‘ve vague collection of what happened.

TAIWAN is definite this year end. YESH!

Let’s just wish Ah Bian be good & the typhoon give me face.

Explore like ½ the travel agencies in Chinatown 2 saturdays ago with Ting, booked with one that sorta under-quote us. Hee hee.. so heng. =)

After that, we still got the energy to pia down to AMK for pedicure with Leng, ended with a normal dinner session with mentally-exhausting conversation, not forgetting that agitated phone call that took up much of my sleeping time.
O well, at least things have ended on a good note now.

The whole of Sunday was spent unconsciously.

Monday was boring.

Tuesday was steamboat with the girls for Mid-Autumn. Leng was treating & I’ve been looking to this day for 8 years leh. Haha!
Did a 'so-clever' thing by leaving phone at home more, so smart!
Lucky managed to catch Leng at msn. If not will be so stranded on 15th of 8th mth.

It was nice to see full attendance but hor we ended up talking about the same issue which almost drown me in opinions & confusion.
O yes, not forgetting that agitated phone call that took up much of my sleeping time.
(Same person so same sentence)

It’s not that I’m being unconcern but seriously, I just never learn & I end up putting myself in pool of shit. Every time, I tell myself listen will do, don’t get involve. In the end, I just can’t control myself to give my viewpoints and ended up being regarded as an antagonist. At this point in time, I can’t help but feeling apprehensive about the upcoming trip. Will the strong headedness nature clash?! Nah… shld be fine since forgetfulness is my 2nd name.

I always believe there are 2 or more sides to an event, which is so SUBJECTIVE. So there’s the ‘benefits of doubt’ I guess we can be so extremist to get people to think in you own way as everybody see what they choose to see. Usually, we are blinded by many factors in many circumstances.

I am no saint & my poor memory, poor eyesight & lousy listening skills got me into troubles more than once. I ended being a double standard, 2 headed snake. Guess I have a long way to go to attain 与世隔绝. It’s so difficult to keep neutral yet not seem like nonchalant, bo-chup, cold blooded. So cheem… haha! 天啊！做人真难！
The only time when I’m与世隔绝 is when phone batt is flat or internet is down. Haha!

Wednesday, I decided to pontempt work & geng MC after close to non-existent struggles.
But hor, never get to rest cos I ended up going to Bkt Timah with mum for PT, sigh.
I also bought a stylo-mylo cordless house-phone at COURTS. Customer Service is fictional on a weekday afternoon, didn’t even see the salesman. Win liao lor, no wonder they absorb GST.

Thursday evening was SHIOK. Had a mini revenge (Ok I know I sound childish but I just can’t help it, hah!) Morale of the story, U SABO me, I SABO u!

Friday was KO time & RIP for the faithful Surfer’s Paradise footwear & the expensive Noda’s heels. Was forced by mum to throw them away.

Saturday was a repeat of stamina challenge of the previous one, just that different venue. Bcoz of the unfortunate incident of my footwear, I have to wear my heels out.

Full-fledged Jamu body massage + steam bath @ Rustic Nirvana was shiok beyond words. I think the lady uses all her force on my neck & shoulders, too stiff lah.

Ah Chew’s desert & 1 top + a pair of image-turn’s pumps*.
Not forgetting the exciting part of the day, other than my phone went flat battery w/o warning, is I get to sneak preview of Leng’s potential # 2 Marcus!!! Haha…

Evening was a feet-tiring shopping session with Irene, from Hereen to PS & dinner at Manhattan Fish Market ard 8pm! almost wanted to shout ‘Tolong”! Anyway, must thank her introducing Daiso to me. It’s the re-make of 199 Shop. Everything at $2! I splurge on a few miscellaneous items there. Hee =)

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! I woke up at 8am & went Woodlands Library with Irene to study. Quite amazed by my energy level though I was trying very hard to keep awake after lunch
There was a technical glitch when we were there & it took quite some time to recover.

I think there’s something with me & gadgets anomaly. My phone also went cuckoo this morning, not to mention the internet. Even the usual login ID got problem. Shrugzzz…

The effects of quite a eventful lifestyle is quite apparent as I struggle to stay awake now, fine lines & dark eye rings getting obvious. Also the statistical reality cannot be denied.
Therefore, you won’t see many photos being uploaded much.
Seventh month is over le, so not appropriate. 不要吓人吓己。

Senile, old, humongous-ly fat all rolled into one, you get ME. Hahaha!

For the nth time in the past 22years – Time to do something! =o

Wah, like quite a long entry hor?! 2 pages...hee hee

*Sidenote: Wahl au, Freaking painful Blisters!

Update @ 2300hrs: The blister has evolved into an ULTRA painful sore! So jiat lat that im limping. Darn that pair!

HeeHee...

Wah... i feel so touched.

Apparently, 老姐was quite VERY agitated. See her response. It seems she was so tabuleh tahan that she called me IMMEDIATELY after she read the previously entry.

"哇，我受不了。I have to call you now. 那里有酱的人。wah lau, kanna sai... !@#$%^&* blah blah blah.... "

Actually, when she called me, i was more or less 灭火了。But appreciate her tot lah.

Got supporters at the tagboard also. Hahha =)

Anyway, dun care liao.

The exams slip came in today!!! Muhahaha... quite contend with the results =)

In the midst of fever + Mum's accident, I'm in fact quite surprised with the grades!

Strangely, the 1 i tot wont do well got better than the one I tot can score, like 20m difference lor.

Aiya, pass can liao.

Going to pia my tutorial now. =)

Don't push my button!

Remember this annoying zhaboh, JS? She's at it again!!!

Super peeved yesterday during tutorial. How come she still exists today? From the way she talk to people, she would have been asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, butcher, decapitate, electrocute, eliminate, eradicate, execute, exterminate, extinguish, finish, guillotine, hang, , lynch, mangle, mar, massacre, misuse, shoot, slaughter, slay, smother, strangle !!!

Nehneh de, I've been very magnanimous to get out of her way for the past 3mths. 她就是硬硬要来找碴！Is there something wrong with me or her? WTH! 你们来评评理！

The story goes like this...

Had a break between betwn classes on sat, so i popped in This Fashion to try that jacket i spotted. Who knows, while i was deciding on the design, she n AE appearred.

The bossy her started to kaypoh...

JS: U buy this to go with what?

Me: with clothes? (trying to walk away)

JS: U should wear those long sleeve one, like those I wore. 别人只是单单穿这个而已。

(Note A)

Me: huh?! For what? I'm not looking for formal office blazer?! (me & AE looked at her in bewilderment) 我要遮手臂。

AE: (in an effort to make her understand) She wearing it for 走街的.

JS: Huh?! (giving that snobby look) Oh, upstairs also got jacket. Actually 你不肥咯，只是大只一点

Being polite, i ignore her last sentence & follow them to the 3rd floor & guess what i see there? Office blazer. =_='''

I can feel Anger rising in me lor, but 我忍! I think she's being a bitch, erm no, She IS a bitch.

Since i was there, i might as well try the cropped jacket i wanted to buy. It fits lor.

One of those rare times when i can button up.

I told AE i'm going down to pay & left them there. There was a long Q & both of them came down soon after.

JS: How much is that?

Me: (Turning to AE) $30

AE: if you wear it often, then quite worth it what.

Me: That's what i thought too.

JS: I don't think worth it lor..

Me: Huh?! so? (trying to hint her opinion doesnt really matter)

JS: SO? So don't buy lor. ( & she took the jacket away from me & anyhow hang it at a nearby rack & walked away !!! )

WAH LAU!!! I was so so so so so so so so PEEVED lor. AE looked apologetically towards me.

Blood pressure rising lor! Can feel the heat to the feverish extent.

Can you all believe this!!

我忍! 我忍! 我忍! 我忍! 我忍! 我忍!!!

This is not the end lor somemore... while i was venting my anger via sms to qi, she walked past me & whisper " 晚上不要吃那么多久回 就会瘦了”I rolled my eyes so much that it almost got stuck there. GGGGrrrrrrrrrr...

Bloody Hell!!!! If not for the fact that there are human beings in the room, I would have lashed out at her. I'll do it one day before year 1 end. Thankfully, i wont see her in yr 2.

What's wrong with her? How can somemore be so bossy to such extent!!! So irritaing right?! If it was me years ago, i would have made her cry. Now, i wrecking my brain to think of a solo classic sentence to throw in her face.

What's her problem! She don't even know me well enough, Who is she to make such comment lor. She probably get a kick by going aroung to antagonise people.

If it was people who know me well, like u girls, will be asking me Grab lor. Since i rarely see things i like.

老虎不发威，你把我当病猫。我不是善男信女hor.

Note A: Ladies, please please may i ask, please pardon my ignorance, but who on earth will wear this piece solely. Oki lah, I don't denied that there are people can carry this if wore singly. But who says I cannot wear it the way i like. While I show Minmin this photo, she was like, "Oh, you can wear this with your this this this, that that that... very nice what "

See?! I think a 8year-old has better fashion sense that the 32year-old PA to some high-flying director in the healthcare group. Wearing an office suit doesn't mean you have the right to boss people around. I'm going back tml to get that piece. If it's not there, she's gonna be so dead.

Sidenote: 好姐妹就是好姐妹. My venting sms to Qi - BITCH BITCH BITCH!!! She is so annoying! so peeved!!! Asshole! Angry lor. Kannasai! @#+&%*

She didn't even probe much. Thanks Qiqi (in teddy Baby's cute voice) hahah =)

Seriously, am i making a big fuss over this?

Tom Yum, Gelato & Guys...

O well, Operations 8585 was released prematurely. It wasn't intend to be serious right from the beginning anyway. Hor, leng? Haha =p

I never knew talking can be that energy zapping.

We talked nineteen to the dozen from Thai Express Citilink to Kinokuniya Orchard to Taka Square for gelato. Or was it the photo taking that was exhausting?! Hah..

Mum startled me at 6.50am this morning, saying it's almost 7am (time to leave hse)

Blurrily, i was like, " 7am, So?!" Totally forgot about this thing call "WORK" can! Haha..

Managed to get to work, how?! I'm not sure, the last thing i remember was plonked down a seat & slept my way to Kaki Bukit.

Till now, my eyelids are so HEAaaaavvvvyyyyY that it's UNBELIEVABLE! O man... hahaa

It was great meeting up with the girls. It was amazing how much we can talk everytime we get together.

Only when i'm with them I don't feel I have societal interaction inability. Hahaa!

Till we met again, please take care! 25th Sep AMK, dun forget!

O yes... though i dun look very chio on pic & on peson, I still want the photos ya! Haha =)

Nutshell

看到了。。。

想留言却又不知道该写些什么

知道她很烦却不懂怎么开解

后悔是人之常情，是避不掉的。

Just want to share something here...

In a nutshell:
Many people don't know what they want & they are upset becuase they are not getting it. If you don't know what you want, figure out what is closest to it - and go from there.

Black is Green

I am so glad that this week ended off with a good note, at least I think that is. (Thanks Jun!)

Friday was a super shioking smooth day where:

My bus overtook 2 buses in front of it, on the journey to work & back!

Managed to get a good seat & slept all the way!

(this is something not everyone can understand, but i appreciate such little things in life cos it 'll make or break my day)

Work was effortless. Even managed to get a pair of jeans ($10/-) at the 4th level warehouse & 2 POLO Tees. (Ops.. I did it again! haha)

Saturday was the 1st time i can finally oversleep. No more ABT. Managed to chat a little with the ever busy Ting via sms. Lost in time over her dissertation.

Everyone seemed to be caught up with tons of stuff to do. Even Jun mentioned she also dunno what she's busy with.

We are such sad people as compared to the quite happening Leng, i thnk!

The last I heard from Leng was dunno when on msn. She'll be going for her Tioman diving trip on 14-16 Sep if i rmb correctly.

Did a little household chores & off to bras basah to grab/dig for? my econs text before meeting Sis for Comex Fair. Got a 160G HDD for office @ $169/-

Lousy week..

This is officially the lousiest week this year...

Yes i know it's only wednesday. PRECISELY! I wonder how bad it can get.

I have this urge to take a week of unpaid leave. Drop everything behind & get out of SG.

I need to some fresh air for my 1mth blocked nose.

New envt to re-stimulate my senses!

Frustrating week.

Even the sight of the pay check doesn't seem to excite me.

I need to do something abt this. I burnt mentally.

The Batam trip was something I needed but it didn't work out sadly.

Getaway.. getaway..getaway..getaway..getaway..

Where can I go?

Psst: Teachers' Day ard the corner.

Excuse me.. I just need to

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

!!!!!!!!!!

SCREAM MY LUNGS OFF!!!

STRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....

SIANZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

SHITTTTT...

Haizzzz

Better? I hope. Off to bed... Nitez!

Shitty Monday...

Today is a day where the right things can go wrong and the wrong things can worse!

Shit... I think Qi is correct. Sometimes i'm so blind & deaf that it's ridiculous.

Subconsciously I just see things the way I want it to be, the easier way out of course.

Atmosphere is very wrong at office today. . . sianzzz.

First i raised my voice slightly at my Boss! cos he couldn't tell me properly what he wanted & i got a little frustrated.

Next, i got Lady Boss to rip of the original packaging of an item that was WRONG!

The whistles came in Black colour but I just see it as OLIVE DRAB. I don't really know the correct shade but i know it was greenish. I just make myself believe the Black was Green.

How smart!

Were having discussion regarding the presentation for monday after tutorial last sat, seems like JS doesn't seem to get our plan. I told her to verbalise her answers during presentation becos I might not have the time to input her answer in to the ppt. I have no idea what time she figured out how to do & we only have 1 day. Judging from past experienceS, she never get any work done & Plus, I have the close-to-perfect answers.
i'm not bragging but it's really simple. But she keep insisting that she will sent the answers to me on sun.
Ok anything... when N asked me what's wrong with her on our way out?
I just blurted " i think she just wants her answer in the slides?!" without realising she is just behind me.
O well, what's new right? Aiya, don't care. Anyway I won't see her after this term.
I always commit Social Suicide like that... reason why I can count the no. of friends with one hand.
Ha ha Ha... Sigh....

I'm such a hopeless Klutz...

Speaking of friends...

Hello girls.... Hope u are all doing ok. Busy month for everyone i can see. Do update your blogs!

Jun: Sorry to hear that you have to give Rusty boy away... No choice lah, Life has a way.

Ting: Say "hi" to Cuppie, Prince & YY to me. Haha.. Ops.. YY sounds like a pet here. Hee =)

Leng: Focus on your work & don't think of guys too often ar! Haha! Fixed a date for pedi!

Irene: Sorry Ms Nai, gotta bangsei you. Next time ya!

HY: I know you don't read this but I'm still want to say this: A55Hole, return my book hor! Almost a year liao lor, Auto a bit can?! !@#$%^&*

UI-Lambana

每年农历七月十五日为“盂兰盆节”，道教称“中元节”，俗称“鬼节”，是佛徒举行“盂兰盆会”的日子。盂兰盆，即梵文 UI-Lambana 的音译，意思是“救倒悬”。盂兰盆会来源于目莲解救母厄的故事：
“有目莲僧者，法力宏大。其母堕落饿鬼道中，食物入口，即化为烈焰，饥苦太甚。目莲无法解救母厄，于是求教于佛，为说盂兰盆经，教于七月十五日作盂兰盆以救其母。”
中国佛徒从梁武帝时（502-549）始设“盂兰盆斋”，以后照此仿行，相沿成中元节。不过，除设斋供僧外，后来还增加了拜忏、放焰口、祭祖先、荐亡灵等活动。这一天，事先在街口村前搭起法师座和施孤台。法师座跟前供着超度鬼魂的地藏王菩萨，下面供着一盘盘面制桃子、大米。施孤台上立着三块灵牌和招魂幡。过了中午,各家各户纷纷把全猪、全羊、鸡、鸭、鹅及各式发糕、果品、瓜果等摆到施孤台上。主事者分别在每件祭品上插上一把蓝、红、绿等颜色的三角纸旗，上书“盂兰盛会”、“甘露门开”等字样。仪式是在一阵庄严肃穆的庙堂音乐中开始的。紧接着，法师敲响引钟，带领座下众僧诵念各种咒语和真言。然后施食，将一盘盘面桃子和大米撒向四方，反复三次。这种仪式叫“放焰口”。
到了晚上，家家户户还要在自己家门口焚香，把香插在地上，越多越好，象征着五谷丰登，这叫作“布田”。有些地方还有放水灯的活动。 http://www.fxlynet.com/yulanpenhui.htm

在记忆里，每年这个月的一天，家里一定会沸沸腾腾， 犹如新年。请亲戚到家里来做客，是老爸一向的惯例 。小时，就会乘机跟堂/表兄弟姐妹们游戏，玩得不亦乐乎。祖母在世时，姑妈们也会来顺便庆祝她的生日。
近几年，来的人也越来越少。不是，是没有以前的多。以前的小孩也长大了，都渐渐不参与类似的家庭聚会。（如果有稀客，也表示不久后就会收到结婚请柬）
我也从房间玩到楼下，从楼下玩到购物商场，现在是回流到厨房做二手。

在厨房里久了，看到和听到的东西也就多了。有时，我真想不通为什么老爸老妈要这样‘虐待’自己。花了这么多钱，时间，精力，就为了‘传统’？！ 看着客人的吃法，不仅让我觉得所谓的‘Hungry Ghost’ 指的是不是这些人。哈哈！爸妈的厨艺高超，这一点是肯定的。不过，有时，他们也太捧场了吧？虽然客人是请来的，但是我还是很难对他们有善。 不是我自称高贵，他们蛮粗俗的言行举止常常让我倒胃口，翻白眼，目瞪口呆，难以置信。

今年，老妈的手受伤不方便。所以一切从简。他们好像不习惯，一直放心不，我必须得一再强调，‘吃完就算了！！！’结果，最让我受不了的是他们好意！ 虽然能了解他们出至一番好心，但是也太乱了吧。搞不清状况不要再那里七嘴八舌的， 搞到我和老姐差一点精神分裂。没办法，谁叫总舵主变成‘Captain Hook’ ？！
虽然有些不满，但是也渐渐开始去理解，体谅，习惯。唯恐，有一天这一切都会随着时间而消失？！

不管这么样，这一天总算过去了。。。

Paradox of Life

Now i understand why people change...

The societal forces are simply too compelling to resist.

I've seen too many people tearing themselves apart just to blend in with the rest.

To integrate in the hippie-yuppie lifestyle, end up Chucking up tons of credit cards bills, get entangled in various relationships problems, etc...

FEAR is the key word.

We are just too afraid to be different yet we want to stand out from the rest.

Paradoxical isn't it.

We end up "Being different in the same way".

Human Beings are Complicated.

As a result, it became so difficult & 'odd-ball' to live your own life. It requires great courage to Be Yourself.

To those who achieved & managed their Life - I salute you.

How many of us really know what we want?

Right & Left

By right,

I should be feeling rejuvenated & refreshed from a splendid getaway, with shiok massage & great chillout & probably donuts too?!

By left,

I spent my saturday morning torturing my body @ ABT, accompany mum to Sun Plaza. Rot the rest of the evenings with Korean movies & HK drama.
Sunday went for the NIKE Warehouse Sale @ Wingtai with Sis, leng & Rod. Got a couple of stuff, not at a fantastic great bargain but not too bad at least.
It'll be better with less squabbles between those 2.
Sis chose to plug in her MP3 - 耳不听为净。
I just turn my head away - 眼不见为净。

Diaozzz... he is out of your jurisdiction liao lor. Why keep picking a fight?!
I don't understand women. Nothing to say.

Wanted to get a watch but with sooooo many opinions around, I is stressssssss.

No holiday...

Wore the cracked watch today...

School starts today... maybe that is better.

I is sianzzzzzz =(

Earth Day

Mum is officially known as " 独臂霞" ... wrist crushed due to a freak accident for nth time.

该发生的总是会发生的。。。逃不掉，避不开。2yrs back fractured her foot, only return normality this yr, then came the operation. Somemore, tripped at a pavement few weeks back, end up with a orh ba kack on her face. 这么衰，应该没有了吧？

好才老爸样子可爱，不然别人会误会他虐妻。

before I joined ABT, I was ultra free on saturdays... joined aldy like tai ji leow liao. *_*'''

Anyway, saw the Live Earth Concert announcement on TV.

Qi asked, " 7 July 2007 is going to be the Green Earth Day, and they are holding concert? Got use meh?
I replied, "Got, while they sing and play, they will use a lot of electricity, then the earth will perspire and get fever.. "

Although humour was intended, the issue is actually quite serious. What's the point? Is it effective? U fly those rock stars on jetplanes and stages that literally consume energy. Not to mention we watch them on tv also...

It seems i'm not the only one who thought of that...

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20070705/tts-entertainment-music-climate-warming-c1b2fc3.html

Arctic Monkeys shiver at Live Earth 'hypocrisy'
AFP - Thursday, July 5
PARIS (AFP) - - British rock group Arctic Monkeys have become the latest music industry stars to question whether the performers taking part in Live Earth on Saturday are suitable climate change activists.

"It's a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world," said Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, explaining why the group is not on the bill at any of Al Gore's charity concerts.
"Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical," he told AFP in an interview before a concert in Paris.
Bass player Nick O'Malley chimes in: "And we're always jetting off on aeroplanes!"
Large parts of the band's hometown of Sheffield, an industrial city in northern England, were flooded at the end of last month after a deluge of mid-summer rain that some blamed on global warming. Two people were killed.
But the band wonder why anyone would be interested in the opinion of rock stars on a complex scientific issue like climate change.
"Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it's like 'who cares what we think about what's happening'?" added Helders.
"There's more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we're in a band?"
The group, whose first record was the fastest-selling debut album in British history, will clock up thousands of air miles -- in normal airliners not private jets, they say -- during their tour to Asia and Australia in the next few months.
They are not the only stars to take a cynical view of Live Earth, which aims to raise awareness about global warming but which will require many longhaul flights and thousands of car journeys to and from the music venues.
Many of the biggest acts have questionable environmental credentials -- the car-loving rapper Snoop Dogg appeared in a Chrysler commercial last year -- and there are doubts about the ability of pop stars to galvanise the world into action.
Bob Geldof, the architect of Live Aid and Live 8, the two biggest awareness-raising concerts in history, had a public spat with Al Gore about the need for the event.
"Why is he (Gore) actually organising them?" Geldof said in an interview with a Dutch newspaper in May, adding that everyone was already aware of global warming and the event needed firm commitments from politicians and polluters.
Roger Daltrey, singer from 1970s British rock band The Who, told British newspaper The Sun in May that "the last thing the planet needs is a rock concert."
And the singer from 80s pop sensations The Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant, attacked the arrogance of pop stars who put themselves forward as role-models.
"I've always been against the idea of rock stars lecturing people as if they know something the rest of us don't," he was reported as saying by British music magazine NME.
Live Earth takes place Saturday in seven cities -- Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hamburg, London, Johannesburg and New York -- and organisers hope for a television audience of two billion.
An eighth show in Rio de Janeiro was cancelled by police due to security concerns.
"Live Earth is going to bring together a massive audience around the world to take action against the climate crisis," says Live Earth organiser Yusef Robb.
"Some may say that rock stars tend to be conspicuous consumers, but if we can get those people to turn the corner then we're happy to do so."
Planners have put an enormous effort into minimising the environmental impact of the event in an effort to pre-empt sniping from critics about hypocrisy and the pollution caused by the concerts.
Fans are being encouraged to share cars or use public transport to attend, all lightbulbs will be energy-efficient and the food will be sourced locally where possible.
All the signs from the New York show and the stage in Tokyo will be recycled or composted.
"Where we can't use biodegradable materials, there'll be comprehensive recycling programmes," said Robb, who says the Live Earth gigs will set new green standards for the events industry.
After the shows, the organisers, with the help of accountancy group PricewaterhouseCoopers and an army of consultants, will calculate the volume of carbon emissions created and will then "offset" the difference.
Carbon offsetting means investing in carbon-reducing initiatives such as planting trees or making donations to renewable energy projects.
Robb highlights the good work being done by many artists.
British ska-rock group The Police and US funk-punk band Red Hot Chili Peppers are examples of "people who practice what they preach."
Meanwhile, nu-metal headliners Linkin Park have their own climate change charity and Hawaiian artist Jack Johnson tours in a biodiesel-fuelled bus.

Headache

Something is wrong with me...

My head is aching like hell... like kanna whacked by a baseball bat like tt... @.@

I couldn't sleep last night despite the fact that I slept at 12mn the previous night & woke up at 630am in the morning. Only a hr nap in the afternoon can affect much meh?!!
Reason for sleeplessness: The scene that Qi passed the super ultra pinky cute new Hello Kitty bag to the malay girl for $1/- keeps recurring in my my mind. I wansted to give the the slightly old barbie doll tote bag which was the girl's first choice. Not that i niao but maybe bcos i know Min like that a lot. The look of her silent disappointment etched in me... shit
I feel so guilty i dunno why... Sigh...

U never know what a kid can do to a person man...just like the Puss in boots in Shrek.

Maybe i get her a new wallet since her current one is so old liao...

headache ar.. headache ar..

AMK Flea Mkt

It all begin with a very innocent msn msg from Irene 2 days ago...

"Eh, your house got anything to sell mah?"

Before I knew it, there i was at AMK Ave 4 Blk 626 along with mum & sisters lugging along a big bag full of kid's clothings. Courtesy from my extremely well-off cousin who stay in Shaughnessy (actually was given to mum to karang guni away. i tot i just seize this opportunity since it was basically sleeping around at home)

With zero cost... I managed to get a Gross Profit of 60bucks but minus the operating expenses.. erm... not much left actually. Hahaha... cos we went BOTAK JONES!!!

Branded kid's clothes & bags going at $1-2 per price... it was quite popular with the foreign maids & the malay aunties. 华人的钱很难赚.. but understandable lah. I mean i won't buy from such places either...


Some pics...















Irene with her barang barang... see the mickey mouse nylon bag from HK behind her?! very cute hor =)

















Jamie looking bored... or was she hoping no one will buy her Hello Kitty Bag?!













Spastic me - Obviously i wasn't ready when sis hit the shutter.. . Hahaha

Change

Things & People do change. Is such a shame isn't it..

well we do have to move on.. be it change for the better or for worse...

All i can say is everyone has a different purpose in life...

If you are currently on track towards your goal, I congratulate you.

BUT ... what is you consider is good might not be what others want. It might not be even right in the first place, who knows?!

Why are there so many 'rules' in this world? Why complicate things when it can be very simple?

While the majority lived their life the 'MRT system", I'm a 'de-railed' case, so there's no way I can move myself back to main stream again, neither do i want to.

I'm quite contend with my current situation.

I study becoz I don't want to have any regrets. How many people really do what they studied?

I'll move on when i feel it's time to do so...

So, Just focus on yourself.

I mind my own business.

重逢

多年不见， 之前还在担心不知道该说些什么好。一见面，一切的担忧都是多余的。

说到底，姜还是老的辣。 老师就是老师。犹如时间没有变似的，就好像从前一样，滔滔不绝，话题不断。甚至好像比以前更熟悉似的。。。

样子没多大的变化，身体稍微发福一点，身子好像出了点状况，还好并无大碍。

从老师那里得知，以前到云南交流的全陪几年前去世了。不由感叹‘人生无常’。。。

在宁静的榜鹅公园内的小餐厅逗留了几个钟头，虽然食物并不这么样，但是能这样的叙叙旧，感觉还挺幸福的。

之后还费了九牛二虎之力，传了一则感谢老师的华语简讯。

老师回复，“难得一聚，不必客气，能见到你们老师就很开心了。看到你们这么懂事，老师觉得很欣慰。”

能再次联络到，还觉得有点‘了庄心事’似的。。。。。。

老师，要好好照顾自己喔！

Nightmare...

Qi ended her IA last last week. Back to going to work alone & wake up myself.

I'm late almost everyday. Shucks!

Gosh... I know why i kept having nightmares recently.

The people around me create negative energy. Either stress, angry or frustrated.

First, couz has been prepping me for the interview, if there's 1, everytime she got me on MSN. I know she meant well but I getting quite stifled to the extent of aborting this whole concept.

Second, the Spectacles!!! Really adding fuel to fire lor. The customer service sux like tt.. either blur blur, or cocky, condescending & patronising. No common sense somemore! Arghhhh...
After swiping $300/- I still havent got my specs. Qi helped me complain & they had to re-check.
KNS... just refund me the money.

Third, annoying bossy classmate, JS, who talk w/o using their brain! Seriously, I don't give a damn what comments you have on me but you leave people's family alone. Asshole. Alamak.. test my patience...
The last thing i need is people tell me to:

• Lose weight. [I think i look fitter than you vertically or horizontally. Even N also cannot tahan when she said this. She blurted out agitatedly, " 她那里会胖！比你好很多咯！]
• Wear what. " You (referring to me) look very mature, like someone who gave birth to couple of kids" As usual, i rolled my eyes while A can sense my annoyance. Am i suppose to listen to somemore who wear a black translucent woven top with floral Appliqués & wrapped herself with a white shawl with purple flowers plus a pair of RED shoes?! Well, at least looking like a mother is better than some expired old virgin?!

The conversation started because I was telling A my new specs is very uncomfortable. Realised I wasn't talking to her in the first place?! It wasn't a conversation afterall.. she was talking I was raising my eyebrow n rolling my eyes. She even mentioned something like "go enjoy life, go enjoy everything. Don't be so boring... Like me, I try everything i can" I replied, " I'm still young lor. Rush for what"

The ultimate, final anger triggering topic. I don't know how we get to the topic of striking 4D. So i just say ppl ard me win quite frequently. When i was younger, my dad struck big ones b4.

Guess what she say. " 你家里有人, 爸爸妈妈生什么病？通常一直中马票的人家里的人都有病的咯。"

Wah Biang! At that moment, I just feel like swearing out all the vulgarities I learnt in my life so far! But i keep my cool, cos fortunately I do have brain inside my skull. Duh...

Actually, after i just to think through what she had say all these fine. I kinda sympatise with her really. All those she have done was just to divert attention from herself to others yet she try to show ppl she belonged to the main stream. Pathetic, really...

On the other hand, I'm quite happy that i isolate myself from those common plebians. 自我安慰一下 - Guess she was jealous I'm cool. hahaha =)

Oki... what's mentioned will be forgotten. Shared a 4D with leng. Hopefully, luck is on my side tonight! Then the nonsensical theory will be overthrown. Ahahaha.... =)

Photos!

Hmm... photos! Haven got those from ting but never mind...

I just realise we never take pics at Bugis last tues... this Sun must take LOTS =)

Extremely xiong weekend..

• Help out with the rice dumplings preparation
• ABT
• Lessons
• Pick up specs
• Entertain the aunties

Blah blah blah...

Speaking about the specs.. so frustrating!!!

1st time: receipt write wrongly

2nd: Mixed up qi's n mine frame & power. Meaning my power on her frame vice versa

3rd time: 8 days later!!! called them to ask if it was ready say cannot find will call me back. Never call back sua since i was aldy in town might as well make the trip from Dhoby Ghaut to Orchard. Tried the specs.. feel very awkward. Ask the girl to adjust she like dun dare dun dare like that. Wahlau... I see already also pek chet. Obviously she was inexperienced. The other guy was "busy" serving some ang moh couple with his cannot-make-it-cannot-slang-still-want-to-act-kandang- English. Poow! I rolled my eyes & left. Ytd, i took out from the case n try again. One side is loose aldy. Arghhh!!! Buah Tahan!!

Die die also must go back n fuss at them to achieve my consumer rights. Going to be nasty or even bitchy if the need arises. 咬人了lor!!!

Sidenote: I'm Msn-ing Leng, Sms-ing Qi, drafting a fax, entertain enquires over the phone at 1 time. POWER! hahaa...

Nightmare

Dreamt that me & Jun was robbed in Batu Pahat...

Y there? I dunno. Dreams got explanation one meh?!

Anway the dream was so real that i woke up in fright, heart pounding like mad at 5Am!

Damm...

I feeling so lazy now... don't feel like doing up my resume though I NEED to get it done!!!

I can't think now & my head feels so heavy..

Sis: up to you. Can u manage?

Couz: give it a shot...

Bro: It is your CHANCE.

Jun: Go!!

Ting: Then your boss how?

Leng: it is good...

Mum & Dad: If it's only 1.7 for so much shite... not worth it.

So it's Freedom & Flexibility & Slack now without Goals (STABLILITY)
VS
Gearing up for Future with prospect IF i can make it. (UNKNOWN)

My say: Go for the interview first then place the options on the balance beam.

Back to the resume.....

Sidenote: was telling Bro I'm getting humchi as I get older. Too many previous bad encounters got me very paranoid. Coming up with too many excuses way before anything solid is formed. Shit...

The burden is too heavy for me to climb up if I fall again...

Dilemma...

Take it up & get frustrated with weighing all the considerations

or

Pass the chance up & wonder what will actually happen ?!

Take a step first & see where it leads

or

Ignore it totally

What if decision made leads to regrets?

Give up the comfort zone & freedom?

or

Plunge into new envt with challenges ?

For Moral Obligations or For Self-Interests?

One thing for sure, deciding is a chore.

~ Future is such a unknown thing ~

I procrastinate bcoz the past is my shadow...

Yawnzzz...

I'm so sleepy... goodness..

Today is one of those good days where
- hair smells good n look nice
-had a nice & satisying breakfast!
- u get a really comfy seat in the bus + the person besides is very cooperatively silent.
(i chose to read i-weekly instead of napping... apparently it's a bad choice =(
the last time i didn't get to nap during the bus journey to work was tuesday as it was crowded & a group of PRC aunties & uncles formed a human wall ard, hence i cldn't access to those empty seats fast enough.. darn. I was promptly KO 8.30pm tt night. )
ok i digress..
- the feeder bus came shortly after u alighted & it was SPACIOUS. On a weekday morning?! It was almost unbelievable.
- No shitty stuff st work except that i LS in the morning. hah!

Already tot Wed was Thurs when i went out with Sis & Leng. The situation today made me wonder if it is Saturday today! How i wish it is... tired..

This mth seems to be generally less hetic except that EXAMs is in 6weeks time. STRESSsss...

I need to cut away all unnecessary expenditures except the inevitable purchase like BIRTHDAY GIFT!

As it is, I'm $300 poorer for the new specs.

I trust my sister's taste with that new frame. well... since i can't see really well w/o any visual aid, i hope supposedly 'funky' & suits-my-attitude-well frame doesn't do me any further injustice on my already unjustifiable face. Hah!

To cut down on any uncessary shocks, let me just say tt the frame is ORANGE.

Oh no! I'm getting a little apprehensive with the new specs at this pt of time. Shucks...

I'm not trying to be stylo-mylo... hahaha... I'm so broke... = o

oki.. back to work!

Sidenote: I realise the person issue the receipt with the wrong pricing & i kept quiet hoping that they will charge me the lesser price when i pick-up my specs then. Even tried to justify myself, with Leng's assistance. Aiyo... $$$ can really show the nasty side of human nature... Don't worry, they called sis to let me know the realise the price was wrong after missed-called me thrice. I going to pay the $300/- but definitely going to ask for free gifts! hah!

CuppieMama

Ops.. too late! Wanted to do this last night but I was so tired that I KO at 8.30pm!
You all should have gotta her email by now, so i can cut the chase/details.

Ting aka CuppieMama asked me to tell the other TWO:

She Missed you all Like Crazy!!!














oki.. i exaggerated but the main point is she missed u all.
Requested for a meet-up when she's back.
She will be back this friday, 5am flight.
Deeply apologetic as she didn't get anything for us since her schedule was very tight.
Jun, At least, she got the Rabbit sweet =)

In the midst of msn-ing Leng now... hmm...seems like we really need a meet-up session.

Hopefully, we can all managed it squeeze out some time longer than the previous gathering.
(Jun commented it was too short for her)

I shall leave it here... discuss more when she's back =)

Tata!

Slide Show

Yeah... Finally, managed to set up the slide show thingy!

Been wanting to do that long ago since I thought the strings of photo at the side bar was.. erm.. monotonous?! Also, like that no GILA infatuated Fans of the girls can rip the photos. =) Anyway, it doesn't allow others to scrutinise those red-eyes, double chins, weird smile or pimples.. ahaha..

Feel a sense of achievement!

Heart Slide.com, Youtube, Blogger, etc... allow IT idiots like me to explore our fanciful ideas yet don't have to face the smug look of those IT Geeks. =)

Haha! Love it!

P/s: Since Leng hardly visit this side, I thought I can put hers & Rod's pic here I guess?! Hee =)
I thought the 全家福 at eden garden was not bad?! Hahah!!!

Weekend...

娘！ 我好想你阿！！！

This 2 days has been an overwhelming experience for me. I was technically 'abused' & 'mistreated" by Jamie Lim.
Being a very NICE sister, I took her to Buddy Hoagies cafe at Yishun South CC for a $20/- lunch.
The conversation:
Jamie: Both of you (referring to me & Qi) have public holidays, very good hor!
Me: Excuse me, we only got PH while you got School Holidays. Your pathetic sister, me, has only 7days annual leave.
Jamie: WHat it that?
Me: Working people have 14days a year...
Jamie: (cutting in) One year has 365 days LAH!!!
Qi: Ahahahaha... (Hugging tummy)
Me: *_*''' Diaozzzz.... (wringing the serviette & controlling my displeasure)

Late afternoon that day: I was talking to Qi while amending my blog skin & Jamie was napping.
In the midst of our conversation, Jamie barged in without any signal.
Jamie: 你还没有弄那些菜啊！六点了 ！
Me: (stunned momentarily... !@#$%^&* ) 你肚子饿了huh?! 我现在就去煮，ok?!
Jamie: 快点啦...
Me to Qi: KNS...

This morning, I took about 1/2 hr eating my breakfast while reading the newspaper.
Jamie: huh?! 你还没有吃好啊？！
Me: (Roll my eyes)... !@#$%^&*

我好可怜啊！I swear I will never become a housewife. Planning of what to cook, what chores to do on a daily basis is indeed tiring. Even though i understood this idea long ago, i must still say this: 妈妈是伟大的!

As i'm typing this right now, someone is laughing her head off, giggling non-stop from her own jokes! Bleah....

Btw, Saw this from Cruz Teng's site: http://www.thebigview.com/pastlife/

Your past life diagnosis:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male (i knew it! that explains for my unfeminine behavior) in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern USA South-East (I was an Ang Moh?!) ( around the year 1075. Your profession was that of a monk (nun), bee-keeper or lone gunman. (See?! Once a Loner, always a Loner, Hah!)
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:Such people are always involved with all new. You have always loved changes, especially in art, music, cooking.
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:There is an invisible connection between the material and the spiritual world. Your lesson is to search, find and use this magical bridge.

For entertaining purposes only. I had a good laugh from other's b-day. Enjoy!

Cooking dinner now... =)

木。木。田。心。人。土。土

Yes... Edited the page for a more RE-Freshing LOoK..
Grey was just too... Dull?!
Oh Yeah... the title also... SucesoHermonso was just not Me lah... so difficult to remember also.
Might be changing address too... contemplating only.
This is only half done... got something major coming up soon.. =)

Didn't plan to do this.. I only wanted to send & upload the pics. Then one lead to another... end up spending 4hrs infront of the PC.

Almost forgot to cook dinner lor... (Mum is out of town)

Suppose to read up my biz law leh... Jiat lat.... =p

~Random Thoughts~
What do you do when you are angry?
I'm such a wimp now.
I cry.
Must be those hormones' fault

June

Have you realised? It's JUNE already... OMG!!! How time flies when you don't notice it..

The past 6mths have been insane, especially May. The best part is I don't know what I've been busy with. Diaozzz... Rush here, rush there... dunno for what... Sigh...
Referred to my New Year Resolution... sad to say... I have achieved hardly.

Checklist

- LOVE THYSELF -> I think I had further abused myself with sleep deprivation & eyesight deterioration.
- Improve my fitness level ->Hah.. This is a joke. I failed my promise to Minmin to bring her to the park weekly.
- Look Better -> Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Depends on mood. shrugzzz
- Have more Confidence -> This is getting harder to reach...
- Save more $$$ -> Spent more instead. Sigh...With the 7%GST, no need to save lor.
- Travel via Plane at least once! -> Chance seems minimal, unless the BKK trip with Irene this july works out.
- Appreciate my family more -> Have I? Did I?
- Love my sisters more (No over-indulge though)-> Orh... this must ask them i guess.
- Study Hard! -> Appear to be less hardworkinght this sem cos they is simply too many engagements... I must stop meeting people (of course not the Girls, is those 闲人) just to be nice & sociable. Loner-ism suits me better.
- Put more effort in work! -> Trying lah.. but it's really BORING with the Capital B at times.
- Wear skirts?! (If memory never fail me, I think I managed to wear it once this year! Haha!) -> Why did I come up with so many impossible tasks for my resolution. I must be too free & siao then...

1/2 more year to go... 加油！明天会更好！！！

P/S: Ladies, Send me the photos yah!

Dedication =)

Especially For Zijun... who was unable to join us that day. Meaningful Lyrics... =)

第一次见面看你不太顺眼谁知道后来关系那么密切

我们一个像夏天一个像秋天却总能把冬天变成了春天

你拖我离开一场爱的风雪

我背你逃出一次梦的断裂

遇见一个人后生命全改变

原来不是恋爱才有的情节

如果不是你我不会相信

朋友比情人还死心塌地

就算我忙恋爱把你冷冻结冰

你也不会恨我

只是骂我几句

如果不是你我不会确定

朋友比情人更懂得倾听

我的弦外之音 我的有口无心

我离不开 Darling 更离不开你

你了解我所有得意的东西

才常泼我冷水怕我忘形

你知道我所有丢脸的事情

却为我的美好形象保密

如果不是你我不会相信

朋友比情人还死心塌地

就算我忙恋爱把你冷冻结冰

你也不会恨我只是骂我几句

如果不是你我不会确定

朋友比情人更懂得倾听

我的弦外之音 我的有口无心

我离不开 Darling 更离不开你
