Christmas 2009

This year's Xmas is more or less like how I spent it the past few years... Xmas eve is always spent together with my secondary school friends. We had a bit of a change this year though. Instead of the usual pot luck dinner in YZ's house, we had a buffet dinner in a Chinese restuarant. Dinner was not fantastic. I kind of missed the usual pot luck dinner because it's more cozy I guess... After dinner we proceeded to PL's house where they played this funny card game called Quoz. Damn funny...

I slept half my Christmas Day away. One word... Shiok! Haha... My classmates and I partied the rest of Christmas Day was away at Chevrons. We booked a room, some games and helped one of my classmate to proposed to his gf. :D The party was very fun. However, this party also let me come up with one rule... Rule No. 1: Don't let P get drunk... Wah liao... cannot lor... She's very violent when she gets drunk... Scary lor...

Overall, this year Christmas is quite fun... :D

Camp Mumbo 2009

For some reason, Benny and I decided to pop by Camp Mumbo this year. It's just those, "ai yah since today nothing to do so we go there look look see see lor..." Ya we actually only planned to go there look look see see... Somehow I end up going around taking some photos, Benny got roped in to help out for the campfire...

Very tiring... We left the place only at 1+ to have supper at the McDonalds in AMK garden. Finally reached home at 2+, totally drained. Once again, I am reminded of the reason why I did not continue being an instructor. Old liao lor... I was only there to help out from 2pm onwards, did nothing much other than take photos most of the time. I ended up super drained by the end. The instructors were there since Thursday and have to stay on until today. Dunno where they find the energy for that. I think age really do matter ba... But it is still fun... :D

Maybe.. just maybe... I will go join again next year... See how first...

The Lost Symbol

I have been thinking of getting The Lost Symbol to read for quite some time. The only problem with the book is that it is currently only available in hard cover version now. So it is damn irritating because I am too lazy to lug around such a heavy book.

Last month, I actually tried to reserve the book from the library and apparently the book is so hot now that I am the 999th person on the waiting list. Obviously I don't want to wait forever to get the book, so I cancelled that reservation. For some reason, I tried to reserve the book again today. I am the 963th person on the waiting list. Great... I think I go buy the book faster... lol... Carrefour is selling the book for ard $20+ now compared to other places which is selling at $38+. :D

Mumbo OLIP

I joined the OLIP as a helper over the weekend. Camp Mumbo seems like something that is so long ago. I remembered I had loads of fun with the people there. So it is always fun to go back and help out once in a while.

With them, we can be our crazest self and come up with all sorts of crazest stuff to play. There's almost no boundaries with what we can play and the people there will be on enough to play whatever we come up with.

We were recounting the different OLIPs that we had throughout the years..
2003 - 十字路口
2004 - Hitchhiking over the night (This year is damn fun)
2005 - Warfare in Pulau Ubin (joined as a helper)
2006 - Activities in School
2007 - Solo walk in Brown Cementry (joined as a helper)
2008 - Some video thingy (Never participate)
2009 - Hitch hiking in Amazing Race Style + Solo Walk in Brown Cementry (joined as a helper)

I didn't even realise that I joined Camp Mumbo for so many years... I wonder how long more will I still join...

Results are out!

I got back my exams results yesterday. Did not do as well as last semester but at least I managed to pass all my modules. Especially one particular module that I was super not confident in. Phew~!

The sad news is that some of my classmates failed one module and one of them is my closest classmate. This means we won't be able to graduate at the same time anymore. :( No choice lah... Nobody wish to see this happen too. I better study harder for next semester...

Acupuncture

My heel has been giving me pain for quite sometime already. So I decided to try out acupuncture and see if it will help... It's alright except it's damn painful when the physician poke that needle into THAT painful point...

Half Gone...

November is passing by so quickly that it seemed yesterday when I just finished my last paper. Probably because I am so busy with organising my team building, work, meet ups with loads of old friends...

My results of the exams will be released soon. Nothing that I am looking forward to because I don't expect myself to do well for it even though my grades for my projects were quite good. I think my paper will definitely pull my overall grades down. Sometimes I think it is very silly for my to give up the chance of getting good grades just because I am not those 死背书 kind of person. Or rather it is because I am plain lazy to study lah... :P One word... "Lazy". I think I better study harder for my next sem...

Looking good in front of the Boss? I'm not so sure...

I am currently organising a team building event for my department. The event is scheduled sometime in mid November so we had a briefing for everyone this afternoon to make sure everyone are ok with the activities.

The briefing had ended when suddenly W started making a pt to the others about safety. Nope, it's not wrong to talk about safety. In fact, talking about safety in my company is good because my company is always very concern about safety. I was quite taken aback when I heard him talking about the safety thing because it's really weird. You see, the problem is, it doesn't sound like the things he should talk about because my director and K, both higher position than W, did not say anything because K who is organising the event with me, had JUST made the point about things to look out for, safety being the priority and etc during the briefing. It became very 抢台词 kind of situation. Very weird... Then for a moment, I started thinking myself, am I the organiser or is he the organiser? Very weird feeling lah...

I thought it's me only... Until tea break came and the ladies were all talking about it. So I am not alone in this... The ladies said it is all because he wants to look good in front of his bosses, not knowing how stupid he looks in front of us... faint lor...

Freedom~!

Exams are finally over~! WooHoo~! Freedom is finally here... for 2 months...

Activities that I had / will be doing are:
- KTV with my classmates (done)
- Halloween with Poly gfs (done)
- Mahjong (done and will probably be doing more of it :P)
- Catch up with friends whom I promised to meet up many months ago...
- BBQ with U classmates
- Shopping!

I totally don't look forward to starting my school term again... But in the meantime... It's time to party~!

Down 1, 2 More to Go...

I just finished one paper yesterday. Honestly speaking, the paper would have been quite tough if the questions were not so similar to one of our past year paper... If not, I think I will probably die for that paper...

I don't ask for much, only a pass... I think I can do it. I am a Good Smoking Ninja... haha...

Exams and work

My exams are coming next week and I have almost not study at all. So good right? I think burning my textbooks and drink them maybe a good idea... Wonder if it will really help me to absorb the stuff written inside. If it really does, I will definitely be game enough to try that method...

We were talking about "not touching enough wood" at work recently. Work load is usually rather manageable but after my colleague started taking her maternity leave, work load increased like 2 fold. Faint... Just at a time when I was praying that it will cut down so that I can go on my leave in peace. Damn... Now I can only try to clear whatever I can before I go on leave on Friday...

Wish me luck for my exams. I need ALL that I can get... :P

Happy 27th...

I just turned 27 today... This year, no celebration... Unless you count studying in McDonalds to be a celebration... I have too much to study and too little time before my exams come so no celebration... Whatever celebration will be belated... Till then...

Congrats to my Best Girlfriend...

My best girlfriend got married last Friday. I was in JB for her wedding since Thursday and only returned to Singapore on Sunday.

The wedding was quite nice. Glad that there were no major hiccups for the wedding... It was not as tiring as C's wedding last December as the customary and wedding dinner were held on two different days. We still had time to go for manicure and pedicure. Haha... I even brought my textbook over hoping to study there but I have to admit, I was too lazy to do that. :P

Congrats to E and W! :D

Results

I got back the results of two of my projects. One got a high distinction overall and the other one which was the one that made me so angry, got a credit. K and I were saying that it was lucky that we did some last minute changes to it or we might have flunk the project.

Exams is next week and I still have not study much yet. I better chiong for it liao...

Lovely Birthday Cake

My lovely classmate made me a very pretty birthday cake. I loved it! :D

Finally Over and Done with... and with lots of Anger...

I am finally over and done with all my projects.. . That came with a lot of sleepless nights to complete... In fact, I only reached home at 6am on Friday morning because I was out with K doing ALOT of last minute changes to our project in case we flunk our project...We almost changed our whole project lor...

I was really very fed up with F who was supposed to compile the project... Really very F*** lor... As we usually have discussions then spilt up the work to do, so one person will eventually have to compile the whole project. She is supposed to make sure that all the parts of the whole project tally with each other. To me, she did not do anything at all. F***

As K and I wanted to teach her a "lesson", we made a pact before F compiled the project that we WILL NOT make any changes about it. We want to let her know that her report is not as good as what she think it is. We were prepared to get a Credit or even a Pass for our project. As I was the one who is supposed to do the alignment of the project, it is inevitable that I will see the report. It got to a point that I realised that we had to do something about the report before we flunk the whole project... F did not do her job of tallying the whole report at all lor... In fact, I think basically she just copy and paste each part and send to me. It's damn obvious lor... Within the first 6 lines of our introduction, there's already repetition liao lor... Crap... We had a budget to "spend" for our project. Around $3.5million. In the end, we only spent $1.5million. What about the rest of the $2million? She didn't even realised it until I pointed it out to her. That one is the basic thing lor... Why didn't she take note of it? We are supposed to spend ALL of it lor... She still try to tell me that the $3.5million is for global and not only Singapore. So I pointed out to her that a few weeks ago I ALREADY told her that there is a report around saying that that company's global advertising and promotion is ard $25million a year. I don't know what is she thinking at all.

It's really time to sit her down and talk to her... This kind of thing cannot go on lor... It will kill K and I one of these days...

Left...

I talked about I will be facing some changes at work but did not go into any details. Anyway... my boss had decided to quit his job. This means the two managers that I was under, left the company within a span of 3 months... -_-'''' So now I am officially boss-less liao... As I don't have any boss anymore, I am now going to report directly to my technical director... Diao...

It's kind of sad that this boss of mine left. He's a really nice guy and quite a good boss too. Too bad he has to leave due to some circumstances... I will look forward to have a chance to work with him again in the future... Provided there's this kind of chance lah of course...

My company has yet to find the replacement for my boss... No matter what it is, I do hope my future new boss be a good one... After all, I always think that the boss is the most important part of the job...

Changes at work

There will be quite a few major changes in the next few months that will be affecting me and my future prospects in the company itself. The changes will be a great opportunity for me to grow and develop but I am currently having mixed feelings about it too...

Whatever it is, I do hope I can be up to the mark and take on whatever is coming along the way for me. I can foresee seeing myself being VERY busy at work from now onwards...

On Coughing Marathon...

Wah liao... damn sway... I was having a slight sore throat and a slight fever last thursday so I took a MC and stayed at home. The slight sore throat which never recovered developed into a very nasty cough now... So now I am on a non-stop coughing marathon... The doctor gave me a MC on Tuesday but I did not go home to rest. Instead, I went to school after lunch because I have a project to submit that day.

I have not been getting much rest the past few days + being down with a terrible cough, my eyelids can barely open when I was in the office yesterday and this morning... I lost count of the no. of cups of coffee that I drank just to keep myself awake... :(

I guess... I need a very good rest...

Disney Muscial Marriage Proposal

I saw this on Brian's blog... So sweet...

旧歌金曲 KTV

My classmates seems to love to sing and it's a good thing that they are really good in singing. The end result = I have been going to quite a lot of KTVs with them nowadays. The consequence of too frequent KTVs sessions with them starts to get boring because we seem to be always singing the same songs! That's when an idea came to my mind. Why not we have a theme for the KTV session next time? :D

This was why we decided to have 旧歌金曲 KTV session after school last Friday. Hee... The rules are simple... We are only allowed to sing old songs. We did not set any timeframe of songs that we so-called old as we do not want to limit anyone especially those who does not sing very frequently. Some are classic songs from 邓丽君... Some of the old songs I never even hear before. It was quite fun especially when someone sings a song that makes us exclaimed "Wah kao! This song is really super old lor!"

I think we probably can have something like this again another time. It makes the KTV session more fun. :D

Got this from dk's blog. Very funny Singapore history lesson by Hossan Leong.

Random Acts: Singing your McDonalds order - "I'm Yours" Version

Never underestimate Anyone...

I used to have a classmate in Secondary School whom I don't really like. He is a nice guy lah just that I find him too kao peh most of the time and sometimes very irritating in class. A few years back, I got back in touch with him again. He's a total changed person from the guy he was many years ago...

He went and studied in NIE to become a teacher!!! Knowing how much headache he had given the teachers when he was in secondary school, this news came as a big surprise. More recently, he graduated from NTU with a first class honours and also a LKY gold medal. Totally jaw drop...

I guess this is what people always say about never underestimate anyone. People who are not very studious, successful when they young, don't mean that they will not be in the future... Who knows what will happen in the future right? :)

I just finished watching 爱就宅一起 and loved this song in the drama... :)

Being Friends with the Ex...

It seems to me that there really is not many people around who can accept the fact that their bf/gf is still friends or worse yet, best friends with their ex.

This didn't really happened to me. Rather, it happened to my best friend who was my ex bf. Seems to me that all his gfs or rather most of his gf are unable to accept the fact that both of us are still very good friends even though we broke up. It took some of them quite sometime to get over it. Some never got over it but have to accept it. My bf is probably one of those who are forced to accept ba... I'm not too sure also...

I just don't get it why does it bothers them so much? It was long over for the both of us. I am, in a way, happily attached already... It's not like I ever harbour any thoughts about us getting back together again. Neither does he... And most of all, we had changed... We are no longer who we used to be. We are still best friends because we understand each other/s thoughts and mentality most of the time. Yes, I say most of the time because sometimes I do have the urge to kill him when I cannot comprehend with his ideas and way of thinking. Most importantly, in a way, both of us grew up together. We walked alongside each other through many parts and often, most important parts of our lifes. This probably made the bond between us stronger than most people's. That is probably why we are still best friends even though we used to be together especially when we were good friends before we got together then.

No matter what, I do hope he will be able to find his happiness soon... After all, I wish the best for him...

Played Out

Last Friday, C and X asked me if I want to join them for lunch at Vivocity. Since I did not lunch with them over the past few days and plus it was a Friday, I decided to join them for lunch.

It was already almost 1 by the time we finished lunch. C said she wanted to go 2 shops in Vivo and X said she need to drop by Starhub for some errands. As S did not eat much, she had already went to run her own errands before we even finished lunch.

As I had nothing much to do in Vivo, I walked around Tangs for a while before calling S. S was helping her boss to look for something so I met up with her. While we were walking around, S recieved an sms from X saying C and her is going back to the office first as she was having a headache.

I was quite upset by it as X could have told us and we could all 4 go back together. By the time I got back to office, it was really late. Once I stepped into my lab, C tried to explain to me why they came back first.

C : After I went to the 2 shops, I was very tired already. I keep thinking why are you all taking so long? Then X said she is having a headache so we decided to come back first.

Me (trying to talk like I am not bothered or upset at all) : You have handphone lor. You could have called us one.

C: I was at Level 1 and I'm lazy to go up to Level 2 to look for you all mah.

Me (Thinking to myself "wah kao... she's damn lame lor) : We can come down and find you one lor.

C: I never think of that mah...

Really damn lame lor... I felt so played out by the both of them. I strongly suspect that they did it on purpose for whatever reason that only they know. The worse thing is, after I came back into office, X don't look like she's having a headache at all lor. I relate the whole incident to my other colleague and my colleague said that X don't look like she's having a headache as she's "jumping" around in the office. Damn crap lor...

I did not really talk much to C and X after that as I was quite upset. In the future if we are out for lunch together, if I have nothing to do already and have to wait for them, I will go back to the office on my own first. I will not waste anymore time waiting for them and risk getting played out by them like that day.

Lunch

I have been feeling quite uncomfortable lunching with my usual lunch kakis nowadays. Ever since my ex watch-the-clock direct boss left and my current don't-watch-the-clock direct boss takes over, they seem to be taking longer and longer time to have lunch. My office is not very strict about lunch hours. Often, we will go out for lunch at around 11.30 or 11.40am and comes back around 1pm.

Recently, lunch hours have been from 11.30/11.40am to 1.15/1.30pm. If it's occasionally then never mind lah... But it seems to be happening too often. I did not lunch with them the past few days as I was not very hungry and I was tied up with some work to do. In the end, they have been coming back from lunch at 2pm over the past few days. C will come back and tell me excuses like it took very long before the cab/bus comes or they went and buy stationary or they lost their way looking for my other colleague's car. I don't give a damn but I just feel that luckily I was not with them as it just doesn't look very good to be taking such a long lunch even though no one said a thing about it in front of us. You never know what people are saying behind our backs. Especially when I know how vicious the people on my office can be...

My bf told me to do what I think is right. However there is hardly a way that I can avoid lunching with them without being too obvious. See how lah... sigh...

Clock

The other day, I was "lucky" to be in the pantry alone when my MD came in and talked to me about the clock in the office which had slowed down by 20 mins. He asked me to get someone to adjust the time back. Instead, I asked him if we can get a new clock since this had happened quite a couple of times. He said ok but he wanted us to get a similar clock and told me some history about the importance of the clock to our BIG BIG boss.

When I told A, who is also the HR of the office that I had the approval of the MD to get a new clock. She told me that she had already planned to get it. So we went to Ikea to get the clock over lunch time. I told A to get a similar clock because of what the MD told me this morning but she insisted in giving the office a new look and getting a much nicer black face "New Arrival" clock. She said she will tell the MD this one is new arrival so will be good one. Since there's no way I can changed her mind in getting a similar clock to our existing one, I decided to shut my mouth.

Within minutes of A getting someone to put that clock up the wall, she was asked to remove it. One of my colleague who is also one of the pioneer in this office told her that we cannot use that clock as it was black face or something. A LL have to remove it from the wall.

I can't help but think that "I told you so" when I heard that she had to remove it. She is the one who refused to listen to me. 做人有时不可以太铁齿...

School starts again...

There goes my school holidays... School is starting this coming week. Another few months of suffering starts again all the way until October I think... I heard that this semester is pretty tough... Sigh... Let's hope it's not as bad as what I heard...

Turning back time...

A part of me wants to turn back time. So that I will not have so many regrets... Regrets such as not studying hard enough and end up going one BIG round just to get a degree. Regrets such as being so stubborn and refusing to study the course I had applied for a few years ago because RMIT insist on me studying 2 years instead of 1.5 years that I had wanted. Regrets that things I would probably be or have done if I had obtained my degree earlier.

However I do know that even if I can turn back time, I would probably have done all these things all over again. It's just me I guess... Even if I did not end up doing these things, I might end up doing other things and still regret doing them too.

I have to keep telling myself that whatever that had happened had happened... No point regretting them now. I can only live on with it and learn to deal with them. For better or worse.

At least the path that I am going through now allows me to know some dear friends whom I would otherwise probably never know. At least it gave me some dear memories that I know I will keep in my heart forever no matter what. Memories I will never want to forget...

Probably like what a good friend of mine said, "no need to wonder, bound to have a few regrets here and there. It's how u choose to deal with them that makes u a better person."

Sometimes...

Sometimes I wished I can turn back time... Maybe then I won't have so many regrets... Maybe then... I won't have to be faced with such a difficult decision to make...

Remember...

This thing that he tells me remains in my mind... "Remember what is most important to you... Whatever decision that you make, live it out and makes sure it works out..."

Thanks for the talk... :)

Feisty Princess Charmaine

I received a forwarded email this afternoon about the plight of this poor 4 year old girl who is battling with cancer now. I read the blog about her and it's really very heart wrenching to read about how brave she is despite her illness. I hope she will be able to win the battle against this cancer...

Decision...

Just when I stopped thinking about it, I was posted with a question that needs me to make a decision... No matter which option I take, there will never be a win-win situation for me. However, I do know that I have to make this decision sooner or later... When I do make this decision, I hope I will not regret it.

Licensed Mobile Road Hazard

Muahahaha... I am now officially a licensed mobile road hazard... Muahahaha... :P

Honestly... I think I am lucky that I passed my driving test today. I think the tester close one eye one lah... Or else I confirm fail... Good that I pass today because I had already made up my mind that I won't take the driving test again if I fail this time.

So too bad to the road users out there... There's now a licensed mobile road hazard on the loose... :D I do know that if given a choice, I won't drive. So pray hard that I won't be provided with that chance to drive! :D

韓雪熙～～超強出CD

I think he's damn good! Amazing!!!

Farewell Card...

I have no idea why some people always love to leave things to the last minute then ASK other people to do. It's not as if they just know what they need lor...

My boss last day is supposed to be on this coming Friday. Our OM from the other side knew the news since last Thursday and she was supposed to help organise the farewell gathering. I offered her my help last Thursday and see if there's anything she needs me to do. She said that at the moment there is nothing she needs my help for and will let me know if there is anything.

She contacted me today and asked me to make a farewell card for my boss. She said that if I have no time to make, then I have to go and buy it. She wants me to buy or make it by today so that there will be time tomorrow to pass the card around for other people to sign. In that case, the card will be ready to pass to my boss by Friday.

It took her 6 days to realise that she needs a farewell card for my boss??? Can she not be so last minute or not? It is not the first time that she do things so last minute liao lor. What gives her the impression that I have all the time in the world to make or buy the farewell card? What the hell!!! Even though I had already made a farewell card for my boss and I can just pass to them to sign it, I have no intention to doing that. After all they bo sim and I intend to keep the thought of that farewell card to the few of us.

I had already had an appointment in Toa Payoh tonight and I had to push it back so that I have time to find a decent farewell card. It took me 2 hours and going from Vivocity to Plaza Singapura to find a decent card lor. What pissed me off is not getting the card but rather her expecting me to do it with such last minute notice. Plus I do not like the idea of getting a card for the sake of getting it so I had to go to Plaza Singapura to hunt for a card even though there is an appropriate but damn ugly farewell card in Vivocity.

I was quite upset with that stupid woman. My bf was telling me that since she ask me to do it only so last minute, then I should give her the result of last minute work. However, to me, I need to do it at least to a standard that I can accept. Bloody shit... Stupid woman. No way will I "do up" the card until as nice as the farewell card that I made for my boss.

Tio Stabbed...

I got stabbed again! This time really very 冤枉 because I tio stabbed by a very 小气 man... He's an ass lah...

Incident:
Man entered my "territory" and went to one of the drawers wanting to take some bags. I stopped him since I obviously can't just let him take my stuff without asking. Come on lah... It's my stuff and it's common courtesy to ask before taking. Not as if I am not there. So the conversation goes like this:

Me: Ermm... what do you want?
小气 man: I want to take some bags.
Me: Ok. How many bags do you want? I take them for you.

I took the bags and passed them to the 小气 man. Then I told him..
Me: Do you know that Marketing also have bags?
小气 man: I don't know because no one told me before.
Me: Ok... So now you know lah. Then next time if you want the bags, you can also ask from S.
小气 man: But S is not in today.
Me: Ya. S is on MC today. But I just tell you that so that in the future you can get from her too.

小气 man left after that but came back shortly to change the size of the bag that I gave him as one of it was too small.

Shortly after, AL came in and asked me what happened earlier when 小气 man came in. I told her the whole story. The AL told me that 小气 man told my MD that we refuse to give him the bags!!! What rubbish!!!! ~!#$%^

In order to help me, AL boss even wrote an email about the whole incident to my MD to help me 声援! All these crap over 2 bags... Really a bit the diao lor... -_-'''' To think he still dare to go around telling my other colleagues about it also...

What an ass that 小气 man is... I will learn to siam him at all cost next time... He better don't come and look for my help next time...

I Passed!!!!

I got news this morning that my results were already out. It took me some time to figure out how to check for my results. I PASSED!!!! :D Although I knew that the bits of the papers that I did should be able to assure me with a pass, some self-doubt makes me quite worried that I might flunk one of my modules or worse, ALL my modules since I did not study very hard, or rather, hard enough. Luckily that bit of self doubt did not come true. Phew~!

I got 2 Distinctions and a Credit. I was quite surprised with my results especially when I got a Distinction for the killer paper even though I know how to do most of the paper. The Distinction came to me as a surprise especially when F who studied much harder than me and more confident with the paper, only managed a Credit for it.

HJ said that I am a certifed Smoke Ninja now. Haha... Especially when I managed to smoke through and even get 2 Distinctions. I think I am just super heng! :D



So far I heard 2 of my classmates flunked the killer paper. I hope they will be successful in appealing... I will hate to see them repeating those modules or worse yet, quit the course... Let's see how it goes ba...

My Boss Quit~!

My boss came into the lab this morning to tell us that he had tendered his resignation letter on Monday!!!

Actually, together with another 2 colleagues of ours, we had been speculating since last week that my manager was intending to quit his job. Don't ask me why we speculate it. It's just sixth sense I guess... Some behaviour last week sort of makes me wonder if he is quitting. It turned out that we are right!!! Think we can go 四马路摆摊算命 liao...

I am thinking of putting an album of photos of his memories in the company... I will go office and dig out all his old photos, burn them into a dvd for him I think... I see what I can do... After all, honestly, he has been a good boss to me most of the time and he really taught me a lot... Good luck to him in his new company!

劉力揚 - 眼泪笑了

眼泪笑了 刘力扬
作词：蓝小邪 严云农 作曲：郑楠 制作人：吕祯晃

比想像中更痛 你真的沒回頭
我命令眼淚不許失控
回憶不跟你走 都擠在我心中
我就有責任讓它值得被珍重
謝謝你曾讓我難過 謝謝我沒有想太多
當愛情左盼右顧的時候

我眼淚都笑了 誰還想哭呢
再勇敢的站著 找回光和熱
面對你的時候 我不會捨不得
因為你已是過客
因為路有些曲折 是美的

心碎成了沙漠 就快開鑿綠洲
我沒有時間不知所措
你溫柔的雙手 本就不屬於我
又何必在乎它以後屬於誰呢
謝謝你曾讓我難過 謝謝我沒有想太多
當愛情左盼右顧的時候

我眼淚都笑了 誰還想哭呢
再勇敢的站著 找回光和熱
面對你的時候 我不會捨不得
因為你已是過客
因為路有些曲折 是美的

我眼淚都笑了 誰還会哭呢
來不及完美的 就唱首驪歌
想起你的時候 我不是卑微的
反而我沒有遺憾
因為我已愛過你 深深的

A Small Small World...

I think I live in a super small world... haha... Incidents that proves this point...

Incident #1: I got to know Fred when I was working as a p/t waitress. A few weeks after I knew him, I found out that he was actually my MIRC friend. -_-'''''

Incident #2: I have this classmate in my poly very familiar looking. We talked about how each other look very familiar and concluded that it may be because he used to live near my house. A few months later, I bumped into him at my 堂叔's wedding dinner. My 堂叔 turned out to be his 表叔. We are distant relatives... He used to live in my Auntie's house when he was young... -_-'''''

Incident #3: I have a classmate in my Uni whom I think looks kind of familiar to me... I suspected that he surfs the same forum as I do and I think I saw him at some gathering before. I THINK only huh... I went and did some "homework" today and confirm liao lah... He's the same guy who surfs the same forum as I do... -_-''''

I think it's a small small world...

Doomsday...

Doomsday is coming on the 4 June 2009! That's the day when the results of my papers are released... First, I hope I can pass. Second, I hope I will do well which I highly doubt lah... Sigh... Whatever it is, what will come will come...

On the side note, it seems that I had another High D for the project of my other module... Suppose to be good news but then why am I not delighted at all? But then again... If only the results of my modules are only based on the projects then it will be wonderful! After all I am a project person more than an exam person... Bo bian lah... nothing I can do also...

Results

I got back the results of my most feared project! We managed to get a Distinction for the project. Phew~! At least the many sleepless nights that K and I had finally paid off!

T msged me and told me that the results for the project was out then she said that F immediately called her and told her that we should have gotten a High D for the project. I told T that F will definitely get blasted by me if she was to make that comment in front of me. That project was super tough to do and it didn't help that our lecturer took us all on a ride. K and I were not so confident that we will even get a Distinction for the project. We will be happy if we managed to get a Credit because a large part of the project was rushed out last minute.

I was online when F msned me later in the evening telling me "Good Job" because our project got a Distinction. In my mind, I was thinking... "Wah liao... earlier you were just telling T that we should have gotten a HD now you tell me D is a good job?" Whatever it is, I couldn't care less also...

My exams results will be out on 4 June. Let's hope I did well for my papers!

Cookie Day~!

I went to my brother's house to bake with my sister-in-law yesterday. Yesterday was a cookie day~! :D

The original plan was for my classmates to come over my house to bake. My sister-in-law heard us mentioning about baking with my classmates, so she offered to "open house" for my classmates to go over to her house instead. This was a great idea because the kitchen there is much more spacious than the one in my house.

Somehow or other, my classmates couldn't make it in the end so that left only my sister-in-law and me to bake. We decided to bake something simple. Cookies~! Some of them turned out quite nice but some was not so nice. Never mind... We shall try harder next time. :D

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

Original Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies

Some cookies that taste like the 白色恋人 biscuits

Some cookies that taste like the 白色恋人 biscuits added with Almond Flakes

Cruel

Sometimes I feel that after you end a relationship, you need to be cruel to the other party in order to let them not have any more hope left. You may be together with that person for a long period of time or maybe the person really loves you alot but when the time comes that there is no way for you to continue the relationship, it might be actually better to be cruel and cut off all contacts with them than to 拖拖拉拉.

There may be a chance that later in life, the both of you may become friends again but there is always a down period when you need to be firm and stop all contacts. Being cruel may be the fastest way for that person to forget you even though they may feel very hurt. That might be kinder to them instead. After all, how many times have you feel sick about being given false hope then get disappointed time and again? It's time to wake up from the dreams... Time to know that nothing may ever come out of it... When it's not meant to be, it's just not meant to be...

Baking~!

Hee... My classmates and I are thinking of having a baking session at my place. :D What left now is to think of what to bake. Hee... I will try to post whatever we baked here. Looking forward to my baking session!

真实 - 张惠妹

作曲：Won, Tae Yeon/Cho Kyuman 作词：徐世珍

你说的话 在我心中生了根
爱得很深 所以心会疼
记忆 在我的心中翻滚
是不是每一个人 都像我一样笨

只怕再问 对彼此都太残忍
我能感觉 另外一个人
我等 等笑容换成泪痕
爱在崩溃的时候 比较真

太多疑问 知道答案又如何
原来容忍不需要天份 只要爱错一个人

心痛比快乐更真实 爱为何这样的讽刺
我忘了这是第几次 一见你就无法坚持
孤独比拥抱更真实 爱让人失去了理智
会不会是我太自私 拒绝更寂寞的日子

放不开 也看不见未来
难道这种不完美 才是爱情真实的样子

Exercise!

Ha... My classmates and I realised that we had put on too much weight during the time we spent together studying for exams so we decided to start exercising!

We met up at Queenstown Stadium to jog around the stadium. I think after slacking for so long, I only managed to complete a few rounds... Never mind... 再接再厉... I will do better next time round. :D

I am determined to lose some weight... Let's see how far I can go! :D

Finally Over~!

My exams are finally over~! So it's Party Time now!!!! :D

I took my last exam paper today. I finished my whole paper within an hour and left the exam hall only 45 mins after that as I have no idea what to do if I leave early too since I will need to wait for my other classmates. I should not have been so butt itchy and stay because I ended up changing answers for some questions that I shouldn't have changed!

The paper today is a killer paper as there were 2 questions which actually tested us on the examples given in the textbook! I am lucky because I happened to remember the answer for one of the question while studying from the textbook. I have some classmates who did not study the textbook and end up have totally no idea how to do 2 questions. The answers for those 2 questions are either you read the textbook and you know or you don't read the textbook and you die. I doubt they are the only ones who don't know how to do them so everyone die together lor.

I am looking forward to having some time to myself, relax and meet up with some of my fold riends during my 2 months of school holidays. My classmates and I are thinking of exercising together to lose the weight that we put on while we were studying for the exams.

I need to think about somethings too. I guess somethings I just can't avoid anymore...

Sometimes I wonder...

I could have just take it like I never read it and just ignore it. I chose to apologize but... Sometimes I really wonder why do I even bother.

Sian 1/2...

Wah liao... The first email that I read when I was back at work today is that there will not be any pay increment for us this year due to the economy and blah blah blah... Sigh... I was still praying hard that I will still get it this year... What to do... Economy is bad... Everyone is cutting cost. On the brighter side, our 13th and 14th month is promised. So at least I will still get my bonus this year...

2 down, 1 more to go!

I have finally finished 2 exams! :D I think I totally smoke through my second paper lor... I totally blanked out during my exam and cannot recall what are the 4 marketing strategies blah blah blah... Now I can only pray that I manage to smoke through my paper yesterday successfully.

My major paper for this semester is finally over so my classmates and I had a mini celebration after our paper yesterday. We went for dinner after our exams then proceed to KTV! I didn't realise until today that I actually went to KTV 3 times in this month alone. :P

After being away from work for so many days, I totally don't have any motivation to work at all today. How I wish I can don't work but that's probably only in my dreams!

My classmates and I took a break from studying today. So I met up with my bf and had dinner with him and his family. I was so tired due to the lack of sleep over the past few days that I fell asleep on my bed at 10+. For some reason, I couldn't manage to sleep anymore so I woke up at 1+ again.

On a side note, there is something I want to rant about. Studying part time and working full time is not the same as studying full time. So even though you may laugh at taking 3 papers as very little, taking 3 papers while working full time is considered siong even though you may be taking more papers than that when you are studying full time. The priority of a full time student is to study. That's why they take so many modules. You have all the time to spare and study. If you really think it's as easy as you think it is, please go take on part time studies THEN tell me about it. Don't come and crap about it being little or whatever when you are not doing it. In case you still don't get it, yes I am 不爽 over that comment. You should know who you are. Please think before making some stupid comment. You really need to learn to be more sensitive to other people.

Fat!

After spending many days studying together with my classmates, I have come to a realisation... I better start my jogging soon... At the rate I am eating with them, I think I will be like another classmate of mine who put on 10kg in 2 months.

These 2 classmates of mine are like real foodies lor... I heard from the one who put on 10kg in 2 months that if they recommend some food, the food will surely be good one. Haha... So far I have tried the steak from Uno Beef House, Chicken Rice from West Coast Market Place, Dim Sum from Red Star and Crabs from Red House. No regrets yet... :D The only regret is probably the weight that I think I am putting on... lol...

They are delighted to find 2 more kakis to join them on their food hunt... Ok... I will look forward to the next food hunt. But I really need to get down to jogging... Haha...

Exams = Get Fat Part 2

Wah liao... Exams is really the time to get fat... Especially with this bunch of classmates of mine... Haha...

We met up at Red Star at 10am this morning for dim sum. We ate until I can feel the food at my throat. :P

After our dim sum session, we proceeded to West Coast McDonald's to study. I was quite bored with studying by 6+ so I started to think what to eat for dinner. I looked at my classmate and told her that I suddenly have cravings for crabs! I can practically see her lighting up when she heard the word crabs. So after we asked one another, we decided to have crabs for dinner! :D

My classmates wanted to go one of the usual favorite seafood restaurant for the crabs but it was closed for renovation. As they wanted to eat those BIG crabs, we called up a few Jumbo outlets and other seafood restaurants to check if they have those big crabs available. We finally settled for Red House in East Coast Park. :D

The crabs were huge and yummy! :D I love their white pepper crabs! We really don't regret going there. The food was great and the service was fantastic too. Being quite picky on service, I really think the service standard in Red House is really good. The service charge is well worth it which is probably the first time I think this way.

White Pepper Crab

Chilli Crab

I am a Smoke Ninja!

I just finished my Market Research paper yesterday. Ok... One down, 2 more to go... I doubt I will do very well for my paper because basically I just smoke my way through. I think what my lecturer refers to as Smoke Ninja,,, Haha... Luckily the smoke that I throw is still quite accurate. So I should be able to escape without any major injuries... A pass should be guaranteed. What's left now is just what grade I will end up with. Hee...

After my paper yesterday, I went for dinner at Uno Beef House with my classmates. Food there is quite good... Especially the chicken wings! Yum Yum... We ended up at our usual place to study after dinner. We were studying for a couple of hours until another one of them who was studying in Bugis texted us and asked if we were in the mood to sing ktv! Having not much of a mood to study after our paper, we packed our bags, book a room and went Chinatown to sing ktv! Haha... We were acting like the exams are over and we are celebrating which is totally not true! :P

Let's hope I can do better for my next paper. However knowing myself, I will probably be a Smoke Ninja again! :P

Supersize Me...

I have been studying in McDonald's with some of my classmates for exams. Wah liao... I can totally feel the effect of eating two weeks of McDonald's. I can feel myself putting on weight especially at the tummy... damn...

I placed a comment in Facebook about it and someone commented that I'm like making a documentary like Supersize Me. :'(

I am going to stay off from McDonald's after exams... I want to lose weight!

Randoms...

Exams = Get Fat

I just can't shake off the thought of exams = get fat time. Definitely not after I went into Cold Storage and bought snacks costing me almost $15. I still have some snacks at home too... lol...

Anyway I really need to get down to study... My classmates were amazed at how little I had studied... I think this time really siao liao... My exams is going up the lorry liao...

Cab Fare
Wah... I have been spending lots on cab fare this past 1 month. I probably spend $100+ on cabs alone I think... Just yesterday, I spent like $50 on cab alone... I really should cut down liao but... haha... I'll try I'll try... :P

Sway
I was working with some dye at work yesterday. I ended up with blue color all over myself even though I took protective measures liao... I guess it's still not enough. Feeling tired and blue, I decided to take a cab home after work as I was supposed to meet my classemates to study after work.

I was so happy when I managed to flag down a cab not long after I leave the company as it is always difficult to get a cab at my work place. Usually I have to resort to call cab. Halfway to my house, the cab had a punctured tire. ~!#$% Damn sway... I ended up reaching home only at 9. Sian...

A Relationship is Just like Warranty Card?!

I was out for dinner with Fred and Nicholas this evening at Aston in The Cathay. This was the first time I ate at Aston. My Prime Ribeye was nothing very fascinating but was quite value for money.

While we were out and talking about Fred's recent status, Nick cam out with something funny but true... "A relationship is like filling up a warranty card. People usually fill up the warranty card and send it out. You? You keep the warranty card with you for so long that by the time you want to fill it up and send, the warranty is already void."

So how long can a relationship lasts? Some warranty offers you a lifetime guarantee. Others offers a period of days to months to years. It all depends on what you buy (who you date) ... So how long do you wish your warranty will last?

凡走过必会留下痕迹

I finally get to understand the phrase 凡走过必会留下痕迹. Each and every passerby in your life, affects you in some ways no matter whether it's good or bad.

I have been through quite a couple of relationships. From a possessive boyfriend, to bo chup boyfriend, things that I have learn may not seem to be alot but they do leave a mark. I learnt that I hate to have a bf who is possessive. Who tries to control my every movement. Especially not when I have strict parents to deal with. But that was many years ago... Still, through that relationship, I realised that I need my own space and freedom when I am in a relationship. I don't like to have to "report strength" every now and then. I compromise to doing it with my bf doesn't mean that I like it. However I do admit that if there are somethings that I compromise and will make the relationship a better one, I will do it. This does not make me a good gf. This only means that I am too lazy to quarrel with my bf every now and then about something I don't like to do but which he feels is necessary.

I have a good friend who is so affected by a previous relationship that it is affecting his new relationship. It is a pity for this to happen but I can understand the effect of a previous relationship to this new one. I will be like him too if it happened to me. I hate to see this happen but at least he still have a chance to make things right. Let's just hope that things are not too late.

Handsome Suit

I just caught Handsome Suit at the cinema today. It is just a simple movie about an ugly guy who got his chance of becoming handsome by wearing the "Handsome Suit". I quite like the movie as it is very light hearted and very funny.

Lessons learned from the movie:
1. Looks do matter.
How many times have people make friends with another just because of looks only?

2. Find someone who you can laugh with and not someone who only looks good on the outside.
How easy to say but how hard to do... No wonder when I was young, my friends and I always say that it's 真爱 whenever we see a couple with a handsome guy / pretty girl with a not-so-pretty gf/handsome bf.

阿桑 - 叶子 ( FullVersion )

作词：陈晓娟　作曲：陈晓娟

叶子　是不会飞翔的翅膀
翅膀　是落在天上的叶子
天堂　原来应该不是妄想
只是我早已经遗忘
当初怎么开始飞翔

孤单　是一个人的狂欢
狂欢　是一群人的孤单
爱情　原来的开始是陪伴
但我也渐渐地遗忘
当时是怎样有人陪伴

我一个人吃饭　旅行　到处走走停停
也一个人看书　写信　自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里
就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你

Short trip...

I am thinking of taking a short trip overseas during my school holiday. I have since narrow my selections to Bangkok or HongKong. Very different choices I know. Somehow, I just cannot make up my mind. I am more inclined to HongKong as I had never been there before but it is also much more expensive when compared to Bangkok. It's a hard decision to make... :P

For some reason, I actually missed travelling alone. Haha... I will definitely do that again one of these days... But I wonder when will it come... Sigh...

Done!

I am finally done with all my projects and just had my last lesson on Wednesday. Now what is left is my exams that is coming at the end of April. I had to miss a wedding dinner of one of my poly classmate that is to be held in KL because of my exams. :(

I think I should really start to study for my exams. On a sidenote, I got a High Distinction for the project of one of my modules so it will give me a good headstart. :) I hope that I will be able to get good grades for my degree. However, knowing me, I do hope I can really study hard this time round... After all, I am never the studious kind. :P

I went to Paulaner with a few of my classmates last Saturday and they were discussing about the different project groups in our class. While gossiping, I realised other groups have really terrible groupmates. There was a group of 4 in which one of them is a freeloader while another group only have 1 who is working. At least my group is not so bad whereby everyone is working even though on and off someone will give crap stuff. I am ok with staying with my current project group especially when I see how crap the other groups are. There just don't seem to be a perfect group I guess. :P

Finally I can have a good night rest from having to chiong for my projects over the past few days/weeks. However, I think I slept too much today as I am having a splitting headache now... -_-'''' I guess too much sleep is not good for me too. lol...

Looking Forward...

I am looking forward to completing all my projects by tomorrow. I was hoping that I can finish it up by this morning so my classmate and I spent the whole night doing the project. I barely slept for an hour. Too bad, there's still somethings that we are not able to complete. I am doing the final touch up for one of my project now... Finally I can start counting down! :D

Angry...

Wah... I am super angry with my classmate... I have a project submission on this coming Tuesday for this module that is taught by an irritating lecturer. As I split up with another 3 of my classmates to do the project, so my classmate, K, and I were compiling the bits and pieces that makes up for our project today.

F, who is the cute girl whom I talked about before, was supposed to do a particular part of the project. While I was compiling, I got so angry when I saw the part she sent in!

Looking at the part of the report that she did, I rather she don't do anything at all! It's like totally crap lor... She sent in this kind of stuff, she might as well don't send in anything. Yes, I admitted it was an accumulation of things that make me so pissed off.

1) She keep portraying herself in a way that the projects that she and her groupmates did in the poly were very good.

Ya right... With this kind of crap stuff you give, is it your groupmates doing the work or you?

2) The other day we were supposed to submit our parts for the project, I could not meet the timeline that we agreed upon. She was saying that we tricked her since she was the only person who submitted her's on that day. She keep going on and on about me not meeting the timeline and "reminding" me about the timeline for my part for the other project which is damn irritating lor.

With the stuff that you do, it's no wonder that you can meet the timeline. This kind of thing I also can do lah. Meeting the timeline with this kind of stuff, I also can... So easy... Anyone also can do it lor... You give this stuff, might as well don't give. Furthermore, come on lah... You don't need to keep reminding me about the timeline. Yes, I did not meet the timeline but at least I give quality work. What for meet the timeline with crappy work like yours?

3) There was this case of my other groupmate, T, who copied and pasted somethings off the internet for another project. F feels that T did not make any effort and plus the fact that T did her part of the project wrongly so F wants to do a peer apprasial and give T the marks that she deserved.

You dare to say people do this thing, how about yourself? You copied someone else's project and just change some of the wordings. You are no better than her lor. At least she tried her best and put in some effort. How about you?

Ok... I am damn pissed... Forgive my rantings...

Ninjas

My lecturer says "Students are like ninjas". During exams, one type of students will answer the questions like how Ninjas throw their darts. Accurate and straight to the point. Another type of students, will throw the smoke like Ninjas to distract people and try to smoke their way out when answering the questions. Haha... How true... :P

Tired and Busy...

I have been so busy over the past few weeks that I do not have the time to blog at all. There are many times when I wanted to blog about some happenings in my work place or school but I decided to catch my beauty sleep instead. I'm just feeling too tired!

My projects are coming to an end at the end of this month. Hopefully I will have more time for myself then. Of course that's apart from me studying for exams.

I am probably the most studious self now when compared to any other time of my schooling life. Not because I go home everyday and study but because I almost did not skip any lesson at all. Almost... Because I had just skipped a lesson and is now at IMM doing my project. Haha... :P But considering this is the second lesson of the semester that I skipped, that's an achievement liao! After all I actually lost count of the no. of lessons that I skipped when I was in JC, Poly and while doing my Advanced Diploma. Haha... :P

Get to know Yourself Better

xy posted her results of her "Get to know Yourself Better" test on her blog so I decided to try out the test myself too. Quite interesting results. About maybe 90% true? :)

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

What goes through your mind when someone says "Let's Go for a Drink"

haha... I think this is sooooooo... true... lol...

Reflection...

Maybe it is time for me to go and reflect on what is happening around me. For some reason, I am not very surprised to hear from my other colleague that apparently someone is not very happy working with me. I guess it is inevitable to have conflicts while working together especially after working together for so many years. I just feel that, don't feel one way and yet act like you are very gam with me. At least let me know of any displeasure especially when I do know I am one who don't know how to "package" my words nicely and often offend people unknowingly.

It is probably good that I know how she is like and thus is abit weary of saying too much things in front of her. Maybe that's why I am not surprised ba... After all, I hear her gossiping to me about things of my other colleague that really shouldn't be told. This make me even more certain that there really are somethings that I should keep to myself. So most of the times even if I do gossip with her about somethings, it will be about things that I don't mind reaching other people's ears. You never know what will happen once the information gets through her.

I guess I really should think about what are the things that I can do better. After all, sometimes I do agree my "honesty" to some people are making me enemies in the company. I must learn to "lend a listening ear and otherwise, keep my mouth shut!"

Absolut Masquerade

I used to collect postcards featuring Absolut vodka many years ago. I have always been very fascinated by the designs of their advertisements and etc which was what really started my postcard collection. One day, I may probably go back into postcard collection concentrating on Absolut postcards itself...

I first came upon Absolut Masquerade during my company's Xmas gift exchange. One of my colleague received it as a present and I think it looks really nice! I finally managed to get someone to buy it for me from the DFS. It's sooo... pretty. I like... :D

All they need is a listening ear...

I did not joined my usual lunch kakis for lunch this afternoon because I was tired to go so far for lunch and the weather was too hot for me to venture out too. I would rather have lunch near my office and in an indoors setting away from the sun... :P

I ended up lunching with my other colleague from another building. Usually even if we do lunch together, there will definitely be other people around too. So it is actually quite rare that only the both of us are lunching together. She is one of my closer colleague in the company as we used to work quite closely together. As usual, we traded some gossips going around the company and etc. We were chit chatting when she told me this thing that I remember my bf told me before too. "Sometimes when people tell us things, they do not need us to make any comments. They just want a listening ear."

I think I really need to take this advice and stop commenting too much about things that people told me. Or even comment too much. My bf actually told me that he feels that I have very low EQ because I am not sensitive enough to know what I should say and what I should not. A lot of times I will tell people things because I feel that I should be honest to them. I just don't want to lie to them I guess. So I will tell them my honest opinion about things that I feel they should know. I guess this in turn may sour some of my relationships with other people. Some people just don't and cannot accept too much honesty.

I think I really should go and reflect about this...

Nua-ing at Starbucks

I have no class today but knowing myself, I know I will be very unproductive if I am to go home to do my assignment and projects. In the end, I decided to drop by the Library to borrow some reference book and then to Starbucks to do my assignment.

I think doing my assignment in Starbucks is better for me... At least I really am more productive there... Now I feel super sian doing my assignment at home... The worst thing is, my bed is luring me to sleep now... lol... I think I will try to do my assignment outside next time. Even though it is inconvenient because I do not have access to my textbooks for referencing, at least I am more productive... But please... At least give me an access to internet. I think I will die of boredom without it... lol...

27 Random Things About Me...

Someone tagged me to write 25 random things about me. I finally completed it and posted it in Facebook. I think I will just post one here too... 25 random things about boring me... or rather 27. Because I just want to add those 2 more in my blog... It's a bonus that you can't see in Facebook ok? It took me quite a while before I completed it.

1) When people say that I am picky about food, I will tell them that I am just a selective eater. Really! I don't eat beansprouts unless they are together with Hokkien Mee, Fried Kway Teow and etc. See... I am selective...! :P
2) I keep a blog, just that not a lot of people know the url.
3) I don't like driving because I think I am a lousy driver. Maybe that's why I have yet to pass my driving test but I do look forward to becoming a licensed mobile road hazard. lol...
4) I used to collect freecards mainly on movies and Absolut. So I have lots of freecards in my house now. I just can't bear to throw them all away even though I think they are taking up too much space.
5) I learn my Chinese through reading comics when I was young.
6) I often tell myself to live my life with no regrets. Then why am I still having so many regrets???
7) I aml working in my first full time job for the past 4 years and counting... I often wonder how long I will work there for...
8) I often marvel over how much my life has changed over the last 4 years.
9) I live by "Act Blur Live Longer" rule. Sometimes, it is best to act blur for somethings... 厉害就好不要假厉害. :P
10) I like to travel alone. I will do that again if I have the chance.
11) People are always very surprised when they know that I went travelling alone in China.
12) I am a very indecisive person. Very!
13) Although I am a very indecisive person, once I make up my mind, there's no changing it.
14) I always wonder why do I keep going back to school even though I don't like studying.
15) I am lousy at managing my finances.
16) I always wonder where did my money went... Maybe that's why I am so poor... :(
17) I am a very 三分钟热度 person.
18) I love to watch horror movies and will cover my eyes with my fingers for a bit of 安全感.
19) I hope I will have a chance to work overseas one of these days.
20) I never own a pager before even though it was the "in" thing during my secondary school days.
21) I think I am a very contradictory person. There are somethings that I always think I will never do but I still end up doing it. What happened???
22) One of my greatest fear is losing my family.
23) I don't like to receive bouquet of flowers not because I don't like flowers. It's because it is tiring to hold the bouquet. You have to hold the bouquet in a certain way so that the water don't flow out. That's sooo... tiring...
24) The biggest bouquet of flowers I ever received was 99 stalks of roses on Valentines' Day a few years ago. It was a huge surprise to me.
25) It is amazing how I almost don't shop at all when I was younger. Now, all I do is shop... :P
26) I think I work better last minute. My 灵感 usually comes only at the eleventh hour... Not a good thing because it's damn stressful!!!
27) I am actually very fair when I was young. As in REALLY fair. My bf always ask me "What happened?" when he saw that particular photo that showed me being REALLY fair.

林曉培 - 心動

I always like this song. For some reason this song kept going through my mind today. So here it is. One of my favourite songs...

有多久没见你
以为你在那里
原来就住在我的心底
陪伴着我的呼吸

有多远的距离
以为闻不到你的气息
谁知道你背影这么长
回头就看到你

过去让它过去
来不及
从头喜欢你
白云缠绕着蓝天

如果
不能够永远都在一起
也至少给我们
怀念的勇气
拥抱的权利
好让你明白
我心动的痕迹

过去让它过去
来不及
从头喜欢你
白云缠绕着蓝天
如果
不能够永远都在一起
也至少给我们
怀念的勇气
拥抱的权利
好让你明白
我心动的痕迹

总是想再见你
还试着打探你的消息
原来
你就住在我的身体
守护我的回忆

Don't Quit

I saw this card while I was packing my stuff the other day. It was something that I bought many years ago when I was probably still in JC. Meaningful words...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging
seems all uphill,

When the funds are low
and the debts are high,
and you want to smile
but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit
rest if you must but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
and you never can tell
how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar,
so stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit...

It's when things seem worst
that you must not quit!

Gathering with my Poly Girlfriends

I met up with my poly girlfriends at Jurong Point for dinner on Thursday. Wah... Jurong Point is soooo big after the extension. However, no matter how big Jurong Point is now, it seems to still be as crowded as ever. That place is forever soooo crowded... -_-'''

We had dinner at Thai Express. One thing for sure, I will never ever eat Thai Pineapple Fried Rice there again. I love to eat Thai Pineapple Fried Rice but honestly, the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice there is the worst that I had ever tasted before. Totally put off. :x It is good that the manager tried to do some service recovery by making them cook a new Thai Pineapple Fried Rice for me when we told him that there was a weird taste to it. Too bad the second serving of it was only slightly better but still not something that I like at all. Luckily KS's green curry saved my day by covering the taste or else I doubt I will even eat it and have a proper dinner.

It's always nice to meet up with my poly girlfriends. We even decided to meet up every first Thursday of the month as I am only free on Mondays and Thursdays. I am looking forward to the next meet up! :D

Happy Valentines' Day!

Happy Valentines' Day! People go out to celebrate Valentines' Day, me? I actually have lesson today! We were informed that there will be lesson only on Wednesday lor... Fainted... Haha...

I am not those people who are very "heng" about Vday. At most I will just go out for dinner with my bf or something. This year's Vday is no different. We had dinner at MOF in Bugis Junction. I had been wanting to try the food there. The food there is ok only. I think I will prefer the food in Ma Maison.

After dinner, we shopped around for a while and went to my friend's place to play mahjong! Haha... I had been thinking of playing mahjong ever since CNY but only had the chance today. :D It's just too bad that I did not win any money today. It's ok though because we are all playing just for the fun of it. :P Maybe next time ba... :)

Tired...

I am feeling very tired ever since I start my school. There is almost no time for me to do anything. I feel so tired everyday especially since the start of my projects. Maybe it is because it has been a few years since I graduated from my Advanced Diploma so I am no longer used to the life of working full time and studying part time. Maybe it is because I am old liao. Whatever it is, I definitely feel more tired at the end of the day.

Just yesterday after I got home from my date with my Poly girlfriends, I showered and sat in front of my computer wanting to do my project and assignment that was due today. My sister came into the room and borrowed my laptop as she wanted to send a quick email. I thought that since I have to wait for her and I have no idea how "quick" is her quick email so I thought I will rest while waiting for her. I told her to wake me up when she's done. I end up waking at 6.30 this morning. -_-''''

Because of the lack of sleep these days, I am now like the Singapore Panda because of how dark my eye circles have become. Prior to this, my eye circles are already in very bad condition, now it's even worse. :( Sigh... No eye gel seems to be working... Super sian... Maybe I should dump my money and try La Mer... Unless someone is willing to sponsor me... Valentines' Day is tomorrow. I wonder if there is any kind soul who is willing to buy me La Mer's Creme de la Mer? Not very expensive lah... It just cost $265 for 30mL...

Thumbdrives

My bf bought some cars from the departmental stores and modified them to become very cute thumbdrives. :D

Cute right? :D

Randoms...

10 million Toto Draw
The dream to be one of the winners to the 10 million Toto draw is still a dream after all... So sad... Never mind... I will be one of them the next time round! :P

MSN Messenger tio banned Again!
I went back to work after Chinese New Year to receive news that MSN messenger which was banned is back in action again in the office. We were all delighted by the news. Who won't be happy to know that we can start chatting in the office again during office hours? We are "connected" again! I went into office yesterday to face problem logging into MSN messenger again. MSN Messenger tio banned again... Sigh... What a short lived happiness. HJ was telling me to take it as a CNY bonus... Sigh...

Busy...
My projects for my school have started liao... This time round I am doing project with 3 girls in my class. One of them is a very cute girl (Ok... I officially take back those words). Very timeline driven person. It is good to have this kind of person in the group. At least there is someone who is pushing you to work. :) Starting of my projects means I have less time for everything else. It also means that my no-life life is going to start again. It feels like I am going back to my Advanced Diploma days again...

Tio suan siao...

For some reason, my colleague and I have been feeling that my manager is getting weirder and weirder as the time goes by. We just ignore him because there is nothing much we can do about it also.

Recalling an incident that happened last Friday... I came into office on time on Friday and although he was seated at his desk and I walked passed him while getting some water from the pantry, I did not greet him good morning as he seem occupied with his stuff. His face was also quite "black" so all the more I want to avoid him at all cost. What for find trouble for myself right? He left the office for a meeting with his boss later in the morning so by the time I saw him again, it was already after lunch.

He left 2 ang baos for me on my desk and I went out to look for him to thank him for the ang bao and also to discuss some work with him. Anyway, I ended up tio suan siao by him whereby he implied that I wished him Happy CNY just because of the ang baos. Fine, he can think what he wants. Even though I got suan siaoed by him over that, he was only throwing his own face. The rest of the people in the office came and commented things like "Why is he so petty one?" "Your boss not in good mood today arh? He's very moody leh" over the things that he said to me. I don't even need to go and complain to the people outside about what he suaned me because everyone heard him suan-ed me. I don't think I am at fault for not wishing him a Happy CNY the first thing I come into the office. Nobody says that it is a must for me to wish him a Happy CNY. To think you suaned me about it just because of this? So who's at fault here? Definitely not me. Just too bad for him for throwing his own face...

CNY Day 2

CNY Day 2 is probably one of my favorite CNY day. CNY day 2 is usually the day when I go house visiting at my mother's side. We will park ourselves at my uncle's place and gather to carry out our favourite activity... Gamble! What is CNY minus the gambling session at my uncle's house?

However, this year's CNY is slightly different from all those previous years. There's much less gambling this year when compared to all the previous years because of the no gambling ruling that the aunties had set due to some things that happened just before CNY. Still, we did gamble a little but we really cut it short by alot... Previous years of gambling sees that whole house full of people gambling that there is hardly any space to walk. Unless you want to cut through the gamblers. :P

We also did something that I had never done with my that bunch of cousins before. Gossip. We gathered at my Auntie's place which is just 1 storey up from my uncle's place and gossip about THE family. It is really a wonder how some things turned up this way and made all of us so disappointed with them. I do hope next year's CNY will be better. At least, I guess I don't foresee there will be anything that can shock us anymore. Or rather, I hope...

Not a Great Start to 牛牛 Year...

Wah liao... I didn't expect myself to fall sick on Chinese New Year Eve lor... The worst thing is... I am very sick lor... In fact, I am seldom so sick at all. Whenever I am down with fever, popping a Panadol Extra will cure me within hours. Not this time though. My fever has been coming and going for the past 3 days with me eating 5 Panadol Extras already. That's really a new record for me. My sore throat is still not fully recovered probably because I am coughing so much and hard. I am down with flu too... It's like all my "good friends" are here to visit me all at one go... Faintz...

Too bad I had already taken leave on Wednesday if not I will take mc instead. Ahhh... Waste my leave... :(

Bad Ending to the Mousey Year...

Wah liao... Everything has been quite smooth for me during this Mousey Year... Or so I thought... To think everything come at one go on the last day of the Mousey Year!

I woke up with a sore throat this morning, which has since been coupled with a fever. I broke my bottle of eye gel (岁岁平安!) and overturn my whole loose powder onto the floor (落地开花!) ...

I just hope 牛牛 year will be an even better year for me.

Happy 牛年!

Happy 牛年 everyone! This year's Chinese New Year is sooo early!!! It's only late January and Chinese New Year is coming and going already!

Let's hope everyone will have a good 牛牛年. Huat ah!!!

Half Day

There's something weird with my stomach for the whole night after I took my medication before I slept. I am not sure if it was because I downed the medicine without drinking any water but I just feel that the medicine went to the "wrong" place. It felt stuck in some funny part of my stomach. I woke up quite a number of times throughout the night due to the discomfort. I ended up waking up for work at only at 7.10 this morning. Part of the reason was probably because my hp hanged during the night and since I used it as an alarm clock, it failed to wake me up this morning.

Luckily I still managed to reach the office before 9am. :P I went to the office, my lunch kaki who is also the HR assistant informed me that our MD gave us a half day off! :D So here I am back at home... It's just too bad that I have school later tonight... How I wish there is no school on Fridays.... Sian...

Oh No! They have been Hamster-ised!

I was jalan jalan-ing in this pasar malem in Hougang when I saw that they have this new ermm... activity(?) in the pasar malem. Other pasar malems have games, ferris wheels and etc. This pasar malem is a bit different... They have this activity called 水上步行球.

It seems to be quite popular amongst kids as I see quite many kids playing it. It's not very cheap wor as it cost like $6 or $8 for a child to go into that ball for 5 mins or maybe it's 10 mins I can't really remember. I can't help but feel that the kids have been "hamsterised" when they are playing it. Doesn't this scene looks awfully familiar?

Doesn't it looks like Rhino inside the hamster ball in the animation Bolt.
