Research on 6th Year Anniversary Trip
its the time of the year, when most nsmen and students are busy with NDP preparations. and it is also the time of the year to exclamate:amazing leh. we are still together. LOL.
we have decided to either go overseas or get a resort stay during the weekend for our anniversary. this yr the date is great. 10th august is on a friday, so we only need to take 1.5 day leave and make it a long wkend. but damn. long wkend = expensive to travel out = expensive to get a wkend get away even in Singapore.
anyways, at the moment we are considering either hongkong or taiwan.
according to zuji.com,
Hongkong Air Tix cheapest to get away on 8th aug and back on 12th aug is:
$410 fr Cathay and$430 fr SIA. i rather spend $20 more.. safer..
$407 fr SIA for minimum of 2 adults traveling together.
as for accomodations, amos got contact for a guest house kinda stay which should be around $50 per person for 1 nite. if that is the case why not check out the hotels? mayb they got some cheap with standard hotels like our Hotel 81 leh? * standard as in not neon light with chickens running around naked when police raid, the room is clean and the bed won't collapse in the middle of sleep, the pillow is clean, the toilet is clean etc. basically, cleanlinest.
found like 13 hotels with less than $137 per room per nite. stay more discount more for some lor and some got breakfast.
the best deal seems to be Regal Oriental Hotel in Kowloon City. (btw, can someone enlighten me? hongkong is separated into HongKong and Kowloon isit?)
- $104 per nite, after 10% off 1st 3 nite as stay more than 3 nites.
- 40 minutes bus ride away from airport
- review says room is small, but not claustrophic kind. ok, don't need big room, we'll be out touring anyway.
- got food in the hotel! doesn't matter, we will be going out. but i often get hungry.
- wtf i juz saw the photos. that muthafuken aussie who reviewed it says its small? the room is like Ritz lor! or mayb thatz the presidential suite. oh wells. heck. at least the lobby looks good. so the room shldnt be too far off.
- got counter at airport to help us with transportation to their hotel leh. but need pay onot still dunno. heck. if exp den we take train or bus la. amos is damn good with the octopus card already.
cool shit. juz to get there and stay there and get back : $500 per head. dunno bout taxes yet. we are both not shoppers, just want look look see see eat eat walk walk. so problie $800 per person for the entire trip would be safe? at least the flight is SIA = VERY SAFE. GOOD. dear, lets take this~!
oh wait, i totally threw off my mind other cheap hotels.
wah i used to think that buying and ordering air tix and hotel online sounds like hoax, can't be cheap till where. but wait. its really convenient! my god i sound so mountain turtle + gcb =x
Prudential Hotel is at Nathan Road, easily accessible to Jordan MTR, Temple St juz cross the road twice, quite convenient location. but the nice pics looks like hoax to me, cos there are diff grades of the rooms, so what i m paying peanuts for may not be what i m seeing now. shit. when this peanuts is considered peanuts when compared to other rooms grades in this hotel, i could spend it betta at the first hotel. tsk.
what the fuk.. i juz realise transport in hk is expensive. a bus ride costing SGD$6.. taxi SGD$64.. WOW how does hk ppl survive if they always late like me? =x
wa i always have the impression that YMCA accomodations = backpackers = dbl decker beds with many ppl in one room. but this one is cool leh! cheap cheap! and seems more honest oso. offered couple of photos of diff room types. though i not sure which is the $88 room, but the nex grade is $106 so its not too bad la, if i see liao like shit still can change.
- 2 blocks away from Lady Street aka nu ren jie
- 2 blocks away from Mongkok shopping centre and MTR
- graded 3 star by zuji.com
cool! man.. its tough choice ain't it.
hmmm this Dorsett Seaview hotel's description and location seems good leh.. near police station, hospital, mtr and basically, eh wtf. its near the above two. why i keep revolving around Nathan Road? anyway, this one sounds good cos :
- $101 per nite
- location very convenient
- buffet breakfast at $10 per person
- got wireless internet
but got one tourist who went in march 2007 did a review saying the hotel sucks, all around the hotel is red light district, service sucks, dirty all around the hotel. dirty as in no sweep floor or dirty as in many chicken?
eh wait. i juz saw a street in the map: portland street. isn't that what the movie always say? "later i sell u to portland street be chicken!"
eh sheesh. come to think of it, temple street is attraction or also red light district? WTF. but all these cheap cheap hotel is around there leh.
tsk, aiya, day time we will be taking train out to other attractions ba. even if back oso oni in the room.. no scared ba? afterall, gangster is better than terrorist. i rather go hk then those countries threaten by terrorism.. =/ police station is down the road.. quite safe la hor?
oooh another Dorsett, Dorsett Olympic is connected to the dorsett seaview with that loop complimentary shuttlebus to city. but this one is within walkin distance to mongkok mtr, as reviewed by a singaporean. wah the room mite look small, but the lobby looks class! room small as long as not claustrophobic kind can le, n they make gd use of their space. most impt, got water heater and wireless internet. either $80 or $98, inclusive of american breakfast. cool.
omg. i is in love with this Novotel Century hotel. but. its $128 per nite, and it seems the area around this hotel are places that is not selling those very normal citizen kinda pricing thing.. sounds like our Bugis Area kinda pricing.. and the best tourist attraction that is near it is the ferry terminal to Macau.. but there is a free shuttle bus to city centre.. perhaps we can consider going round the city and town on 8th and 9th and 10th, then 11th go macau till evening then come back.
a singaporean did a review on this hotel last yr, say the room is small in international standard, but it overlooks those lifestyle things like pharmacy and supermkt.. so okie la.
eh shit. i juz recalled. there is oni NOON flight to hk on 8th.. 1.30pm, 3.25pm and 7pm.
i had been thinking we will fly after work on 8th. ok la. nvm, at least i m not spending $100+ for juz 5 hours on the first nite.
hmmm this one.. Ibis North Point seems not very honest leh.. no pictures of the rooms, just a very unclear pic of the hotel exterior. 3 reviews says the place is clean and cheap but the room is tiny till a couple got problem packing in their luggage in the room, can't walk around. shit ttz claustrophobic liao lor. $84 or $89, queen size bed. quite out of the way, need to travel quite a fair bit to get around =/ oh and someone said the bed hard until u cannt slp on your sides. hmmm..
haha found one tatami hotel, as the name has it, all 3 reviews by tourists says, its tiny and incorrigible. unless u usually sleep in parks while u backpack, this might not be good enough for you. LOL.
ok. i must not let amos see this hotel. he will sure like it. but we must stretch our dollars! Panda Hotel is the best in terms of location, amenities and room by far. $123 per nite. near lan kwei fong, disney, train station and many spots. cos its in town. a review says: its a champagne with beer budget. indeed, at this price with this quality and the good service. but we gotta stretch our dollar. next.
WAH! good food sink in the bottom of the pot awaiting your discovery man. the last hotel in the list.. is fantastic! okie, i is not being drama, just that i is typing each paragraph after reviewing each hotel in the zuji webbie, so i is discovering as i write. hence the emo and the strike offs.
amos will definitely like this cosmo hotel. definite. its ritz standard but smaller room oni lor. wow the equipments available in each room and the customer service is definitely ritzy from what i see in the reviews and the description of the hotel.. and it has a jazz bar in the lobby, definitely amos's cup of tea. its $126 or $144 per nite inclusive of breakfast. has complimentary shuttle service to causeway bay and other attractions. got internet also. i guess we can take this one if we do some calculations.. cos if we take a cheaper hotel, plus bus or train then plus breakfast plus internet also around or more than this price for one day ma.
i juz realise, seems no matter which hotel i look at, the area also around the same one leh. except those far off like Ibis.
errrrmmmmz. actually i m more in favour of going taiwan than hongkong leh. cos taiwan got more food that i wan try, and i heard the culture of the people there is slower pace and more friendly less sceptical than hong kong leh.. wadz the point of going to hongkong which is like singapore: fast pace, sceptical people who will run away if a stranger smile at them? well i would want to run away if a stranger smile at me in singapore la. thx to that stupid drama teaching anti terrorism some time back, cos in that show, that stranger that smiled is a terrorist leh 0.o ...
doesnt matter that, anyways, the calculations should goes:
Each Person --- Air Tix $407 + $25 Service Charge + $6.60 Security Surcharge from HK back to SG + $280 Better Accomodation = $718.60
Each Person --- Air Tix $407 + $25 Service Charge + $6.60 Security Surcharge from HK back to SG + $180 Alright Accomodation = $618.60
Prices of rooms quoted up there is = Per Room Per Nite.
hmmmm seems we have to do our sums together le =/ only got July and August salary to save up wor.. and Rueyloon is getting married in July..
anyhow, its been fun doing these maths. we'll hafta see if amos and his mama got better ways to wriggle round to a better air tix rate onot le ba. and see if his that accomodation at Causeway Bay is $50 per head per nite or $50 per room per nite.
haiz.

To Love is to Let Go.
loads of things happened over the weekend.. wanted to blog about it.. cos its a continual to several posts i have posted earlier.. but i m tired, and i dun wan to tink much about it now.. cos its something that is no past no present no future. after all, fate has it that way, n i've made my choice, no point saying so much bout it.
but today i read a friend's blog, she said:
now everyone has been very nice.
repetitively telling me to move on
he's not worth it yada yada.
(excuse me!)
its not that i dont want to.
but its hard on me.
i'm trying my best to share my feelings.
but why do i often feel so compelled to agree?
was in the forum discussing about matters of the heart the other day, when a man asked me:ain't we all victims of love?
nope we ain't. cos real love is selfless, not selfish, not self-centred.
actually, what prompts me to this post is not just the words of the man in the forum, but cos of 2 men in my life whom taught me some things over the weekend, or rather over the years, in their subtle, protective way. but thats a story for another day...
the man himself forgave his wife of 17years when she attempted suicide bcos her lover is leaving her. at that time, the man and his wife has 3 daughters, the oldest 16yrs old, the youngest 2 years old. though painful on his side, he was ready to forgive his wife and take her back home and start anew. but she could not face these. soon after, with the excuse that she is on a business trip, she flew off and when she reach her destination, she told him sorry she could not bring herself to go back to the family and face her children after what she has done.
the man out of true love for his wife, is able to forgive her, and even mediate between the wife and her lover. though painful to be witnessing and bearing all these, not to mention the emo children who were throwing temper around the house and stuff, but his pain would not be more than the wife. cos she who was blinded by her selfish lust and greed for greener pastures has made her pass the point of no return. and cos of her own selfishness, she will never be able to come to peace with herself. hence, the one who holds the true love will never be the victim.
very simple. cos he love her, he forgives and lets her go; if she's meant to be his wife for the rest of this life time, even if she fled to north pole, she'll still be back.
sometimes letting go, or leaving, is also a way of showing love.
albeit that the above are theory, and most people would not be able to come to peace with oneself like the above mentioned man, this IS the way of life.
often we all know what is right, what is wrong, but its more often than not fear, greed and self-centredness festing us, blindfolding us, making us go rounds and rounds instead of taking the straight route to peace. cos our ego says: buay gum wan. ai piA jiA ei YAH!
darling, i understand that everyone has been telling you he sucks, including me, and you have been a sweet dear feeling compelled to agree. well, you felt compelled to agree cos to a certain extent, you know its right. but there just is a certain thing in us that holds us back. sometimes it fools us that its love that is holding us back, but more often than not, it isnt.
you might be a little pissed partly cos you are trying to get a listening ear, but they are all over-concernly throwing their logics at you passionately hoping that you will just take it and get better (at least they thought you would get better) but partly, you might be a little pissed cos what they are saying are facts you long knew.
i am not saying that these pain are nobody's fault but yours, please don't misunderstand.. this is a mistake that all human will have at least once in life.. but the thing is, whine as much as you deserves like what your friend says, but please, wake up in time to embrace life. cos life will not pause showing its wonder to you while you grieve. i believe this time you are taking longer to recover no doubt cos of the experience you had with him, but also cos this is a tough period when you are transiting throught to a different stage in life - whole new working world with whole new what the fuking dog shit challenges with the least hints and clues you are ever given. *fuk my room got mosquito, yours have? lets go complain to town council nb.*
to let go is also a form of expressing love sometimes. this love when you are able to express, would be for both him, you and people around you who are quietly heartaching looking at you wilting away these days while not being able to let go.
i know, every single pair of eyes reading this post so far would be thinking:knn, not you, you say until so sonG,
nb see when u kana ditch what you do.
god knows how many fire engine and police car we must utilize.
that is why, while i is sober, while i is not in this emo-shit yet, thank god that you are reminding me of such a thing, and i is also reminding you with the above words, so that if i do unfortunately face such a day, please be a dear and remind me of my words today.

Long Story Short Say
nb. i type damn long, left last sentence, my mozilla got error. cb.
ba. aint gonna retype, anyway dun hav photos today cos i lying on my bed and typing this damn post.
conclusion:
Thanks sweeties~! for making my birthday a happy one, making me feel important and special to you! thanks for all the well wishes and prezzies, and to those who took out time and effort and moeny to go out with me~!
celebrated my birthday is 5 parts. with jas mag amos wilson jeremy and marcus, with space217, with ziqing, with amos yiting halley and GT, and with juz my big cookie spending quality time this weekend ^^
got my prezzies that i wished for, got the wireless keyboard and mouse from space217 guys thx to lawrence who saw my blog and gather the guys to share and he went shopping for it ^^ that y no photos today cos i lying on my bed with my wireless keyboard and mouse ahaha. got the chocobanana cake too! the cake is damn huge, and i is so honoured to have famous $200/hr photographer GeorgIE woNG to take picture, and $350/hr Rufus's papa to video me blow candle~!!! heh heh heh..
got my yanzi album from yiyin. felt so bad that i didnt made it down to her chalet, cos by the time i finish dinner with ziqing and rush back to east side to meet amos n halley is already 9+ which is our reservation at settlers le.
i was wishing to hear from he and him cos they haven been contacting me or even replying me lately.. i wanted to know if its cos i irritated he or hurt him. glad to know that its neither!
she told me that he juz mia from our circle or their circle to be exact. so it isnt me being irritating that this happen.
i met him finally after 2 yrs.. he is still him, still as bollywood and boyish, when he is with me and when he is with his family. he is still him wanting to get me the best things he can afford. he is still him treating me like a little girl. even though now that he has a high flying job, he is still him, the silly donkey i've always known, instead of the stern donkeys in his kinda job. LOL. i'm so happy to hear how he has been doing these years, how he had been on off dating at least 4 gals in uni, had his first job 90hrs a week paying him 18k a month.
he is good to me not cos of any other reasons ba. cos he is still him, me is still me. i is concerned cos after all he was a person i felt for long time ago. i juz want to know a happily ever after for him too. after all, though he often bluff me silly things cos he finds my gullible expression entertaining sometimes, but i noe he has been treating me sincerely all these years. come to tink about it, i've known him for 9 years... wow. most of the time apart though, guess we're juz not fated haha.
had quality time with my cookie this weekend ^^ he brought me around and treated me good foods. and though he didnt get to play warcraft much yesterday, he wasnt grouchy today and he brought me to east coast to blade x) after that we went to a cosy little restaurant Miss U Cafe for dinner. its pretty dumb. the last time we had our desserts only and a drink each, we spent 20+, this time we had main course and drink, and shared a dessert, we spent 50+. ok la. the main course is not that bad. but be careful when choosing the dishes. some are juz not worth the price.
even though i wished for loads of stuff, but getting these are enough le. especially when all of it seems nearly impossible to happen, but i was surprised by it happening. no point getting all wishes granted. then will hav nothing in life to look forward to, to work hard for. like he said, when he was earning 18k a month, he got nearly all he wanted. to the point when money is juz growing like a figure in his bank but he has no more anticipation. but the work was too taxing and no life, and since he hasnt much to anticipate anymore, he settles himself with a 3k a mth job working 9 -5, but still quite stressful. after all, handling other ppl's money is stressful lor.
its impressive that a 24 yr old gets his own rolex cos he earned it, not cos of his family's wealth lor. i want to be that cool too LOL.
btw, i was asking amos if he minded me going out with him, he said:
why should i mind? you'r juz gg out with your fren ma. and bsides, the one who has the right to be upset should not be me since i m not as impressive as him, but u have been with me for years.
i love my cookie's big heart.. the statement might sound proud, but if you are one who knows my boy well enough, you would know he meant it sincerely without any attacking meaning.
tml is work again, i muz succeed this wk =_=!Labels: My Boy, My Contradiction, My Khaki, My Work

My Big Boy..
.. was asking me, why i don't slp early now that i m working day job.
i say cos i don't dare to slp, dunno what mess i have to face the nex day.
he laugh at me nb.. he say that's how he feel when he was in primary school.
LOL. his version is damn cute la..
i'll save in draft and sought his permission before publishing.. its SO NOT the HIM that any of his friends, even his closest wei li, would have known of him.
while hearing him telling me his painful (really quite pain considering the canes LOL) past, with a boyish smile on his face, i feel so touch so blessed to have been bestow this big boy in my life.. and i m most fortunate to have this fleeting saggitaurus who hates to be binded by rules or by anyone, to want to be commited to me, to want to have a vision of our future, to want to make decisions with me included in his considerations..
all these yrs, i thought i have been the only silly girl as any other girls in relationship would, think long and far and vision our future.. recently, he starts to vocalise a little on the things he vision us in our future.. some of his little ideas..
on friday, we went to Miss You cafe at simpang bedok (the desserts sux big time.) to have supper of tiramisu and apple crumble and root beer and rambutan lagoon. all cmi. but that's not the point. that cafe is recommended by TODAY newspaper. now we know we shld have some reservations when reading recommendations around. thats not the point either. the point is, when he saw the wine list, he said:baobei, what wine can keep for many years and will taste better and better as it grows old?we should get one bottle before i leave, then when i return 6years later,we can open it and drink!
x) and juz now on the ride home, he was asking his dad, if his uncle would still be a tailor 9yrs from now. he finds that it would be damn cool if his uncle could do his wedding suit for him hahaha!
a hundred and one things keep popping outta my head every now and then, telling me what ifs..
i'm so afraid of him leaving me, of our relationship cracking up, that ever since i got together with him, i NEVER once played fortune telling that is related to relationship again. i was so afraid that the result would turn out bad and crack us up. but now i m so afraid what if i m not the one for him? and what if i would not bring fortune to him but rubbish?
i guess sometimes, either the media or somewhere along our education system, we muz have been brainwashed to believe that there is no fairy tale happily ever after thingys.
things have been going so well for us these yrs that i m so afraid that its the peace before the storm.
but wells, i've been through these feelings haven i? yrs back when things seems to be going too well, i was so afraid that i will be hurt and disappointed if i lose him one day, and things seems too good to be true. but i stayed on in our relationship cos of my trust in him, in us, that we would be able to hold everything together, together. a girl didnt. she felt that things were going too happily ever after, she gave up her relationship. good thing she went into a long relationship soon after, for a couple of yrs, but seems recently her photos are absent from his friendster.. hope she has met her happily ever after and decides to believe it le ba.
i muz remind myself.. if one day things start moving towards unhappiness, i must not must not hold on to him.. i must let him go towards where he should.. i know its tough, i know i most likely would not.. but i know i have to. cos if we're meant to be, he would be by my side even if we reunite 50 yrs from now, as like the mtv of SHE.
on another note, i was telling him, for goodness sake, please don't educate our child to be as naive as him in future.. his childhood is damn hilarious at times.. he's naive beyond imagination.. LOL.
on another another note, after hearing his first sentence, that he would only feel that way when he was in primary school, i got a reality-quake in my mind. i had been feeling that way through primary, secondary and tertiary when i never do my homework or skip school without MC or late for school when i cant afford to anymore.. goodness. i'm 20. i don't wanna feel that way anymore man! cannot cannot cannot. GROW UP ALREADY~!Labels: My Boy, My Contradiction

Recently?
i is sick again. sunday woke up with menses and a bad cramp that left me curled in a ball from sunday till monday, and a fever from sunday nite till now. not good. seldom menses time will pain until lidat.. usually quite yaya wan. so scared my bosses will think its crap reason, cos i work with all guys =x luckily all very understanding.
long time no blog.
my big cookie passed his basic theory and advance theory both 1 try! both no study!
its a wonder how he failed riding theory test 3 times then. -_-
anyways, i'm so happy and so proud of my boy.. and the first person he called when he came out was me.. T_T
recently, i had been pretty tired and emotional and insecure cos his date of flying away to study is drawing near.. had been making a lot of noise and trouble for him..
one day i cant slp, i sms him:dear, all these years did you ever see me participating in ur future?
dear, i even thought of wad to say in our wedding thanksgiving speech and what to cook for you le.. n children name with your surname..
he replied:ya dream b4. i nv tot abt the names la but i dreamt of us going honeymoon, dreamt of us growing old together, and funny incidents which i remember dreaming but dun remember wad happen le.
dear if u'r my wife i would be contented, but i really hope u noe how to watch your health take care of yourself stop missing meals slp peacefully and enjoy ur life happily. i love u!
lately, have been seeing so many people getting married.. so many people break up..
sometimes i do wonder, how sure are these people when they got married, that some even had bank loans to repay after the wedding.. but just break up not long after..
seen a few couples in the forum getting married bcos they want to get a HOUSE or cos its TIME to get married.. but in actual fact, are they ready to settle down together?
sidetrack a bit, wedding industry is sucha happy and unique industry, every couple has their story, how can the participant be desensitized and actually give a dumb face at weddings becos they participated too many weddings?!
was hearing bout this hotel manager who was giving a cock face when holdin the door for the couple to march into the ballroom. he happened to be snapped into the frames in one of the photos. spoiler lor! such ppl should not be in hospitality lor! not curious not interested not concern no looking out for small details that he should be servicing that why he can be desensitize.
its really nice to be in the wedding industry.. i won't ever get bored. NEVER. especially the photography and videography side. i agree with a photographer, he said in his site that its an honour for him to be able to snap photos of the couples' past from their rooms their ornaments on their tables; and to snap moments of their wedding which is current; making photos for their future. its nice to look through so many different walks of life and share their joy isnt it?
btw, in case u thought why i never quote the guy's name, its cos its not the exact words he said, but oso my feeling, that y i dun wan to smear his name in case i say something not welcomed?
^-^
back to my boy, we were saying, since he has 4mths holiday a yr, that means on average every 5 mths he would be back for 2 mths. den in between, probably like in between the 5 mths that he is there, i would go visit him. but i hate aeroplane leh. how?
when i miss him until buay tahan i'll heck the plane la. probably a pill or two of sleeping pills might help? ^^

My First Job
1st march 2007, i is gonna embark on a new new journey wahaha~!
went for the 1st interview yesterday.. well sorta tongue-tied during the interview.. but during dinner is fine lor. haiz. was interviewed by my bosses: ruey loon, sam & george; and ah law helping along heh heh.
2nd interview on thursday to discuss bout prospects heh heh $_$
after that is going to attend a talk with them on nex monday to learn more bout the industry and stuff..
^-^ muz thx lawrence loads loads for helping me to promote and giving helpful hints n cues along the way hahaha~!
actually there was a competitor for the job.. i sorta also noe the gal, and i tot if she's really sure she want the job, i would rather she get it than i get, cos i tink she would contribute more to them than i could.. cos she is more familiar in this industry, and she is a certified cosmoprof grad make up artist, so she can sorta multi-task heh heh. cos she juz quitted her high paying job recently.. so they were thinking if she's interested.. actually the last time she was interested, but she turned it down cos of objections from her beau and parents cos of the size of the salary.. as compared to her actual profession is quite a gap la.
i is lucky, cos i is happy go lucky ahahaha~! cos i m not her age whereby there are commitments like hsehold utilities, her dog and stuff. and i still have the time towastetry out here and there to find something that suits me. and i'm actually ready to commit my whole time on pushing up the sales and pushing out the brand; while she still wants to do her make up assignments, which the appointments might clash with the job at the studio..
so I is lucky to be happy go lucky without much commitment and in the next 6 years my boy would be away, and my bro says I can set a certain number of years to try out what I really want to do. So I can affordscrew upsand low pay and high commitment ahahhahaha!
So taDAa~! I tink ultimately, I wanna be a wedding planner or events’ planner kinda job, and I like the zero-based challenge of this job, since its kinda new and not so well organized place ^-^
How how how.. so anticipating.. ahaha. Juz now before the confirmation during dinner time, I keep msging Lawrence the whole day: how how how?!
Den now got answer liao, hired liao, I still how how how? Hahahaha~!
Aiyoz. I is already anticipating with many many ideas to decorate the place ahahaha~! Many many potted plants on the desks and the window sills of the studio and the client meeting area and the well-sun-light retro pantry wahaha~! And hor and hor, make many hand-made decorated cushions on the couch of the client meeting area and the couch in the studio wahaha~! And hor and hor, some nice handmade crystal lampshades~! And table cloth of the pantry table~! And more interesting pieces of the curtain that covers the mess of the working area from the clients while they walk to the client meeting area at the back~!
Hmmm ah law ask me where I wanna put my desk heh heh. Definitely not beside ah law aka wolf ahaha! I was tinking the cosy client meeting area would be nice hahaha! But george will be grouchy if I take up his bed =X then I was tinking nex to the studio’s window, overlooking little India =D then I was tinking about the pantry table~! Super like that part lor.. so retro.. so loads of sunlight, and there’s a circular staircase somewhere outside the window! ^-^ haha but tats all crappy day dream of me myself and i. how can I be sitting all over the place rite. [oh wells u never noe.. probly when I get my way around more familiar liao, I mite be based on the couch in the studio with a laptop leh? Heh heh heh~! ] somehow the work area looks like our biz sch labs =_= 2 rows of macintoshs along the walls, but the diff is that, the boy’s equipments, bites and drinks are clattered along the long tables, between the macintoshs x)
Super super like the place~! Ultra cosy de.
So I’ll be like going to work with this different methods:
1. 359 to pasir ris interchg --- pasir ris mrt to bugis mrt --- walk to selegie bypassing OG
2. 3 to punggol temporary interchg --- punggol mrt to little India --- walk to selegie
3. 89 to sengkang interchg --- sengkang mrt to little India --- walk to selegie
4. 518 to bedok reservoir [jasmine hse there] --- 23 to sim lim --- walk to selegie
Hmmm taking bus 3 sounds good. ^-^
Oh wells. Somehow that will be done, so no worries now ahaha~!
Heard the working hours is quite cute. 12 or 1 pm to 10pm. They still discussing 5 or 6 days week, 1 wk day and 1 wk end off, but if weekend got assignment or client meeting then will hafta chg it to wk day. Sounds fine lor, got enough allowance for me to get drunk at double o on Wednesday or Thursday leh~! Wahaha~! 3 months probation ^-^
Excited excited. Already tot of activities to bond with them at the studio too~! The studio is more like a living room somehow LOL. Btw I noted a bottle of kahlua, a bottle of absolut blue and a bottle of brandy or whisky in the pantry HAHA! I intend to add into the collection with a mahjong table and mahjong set ahahaha~! And a steamboat pot~! Hahahaha!

Sgt Ho aka Gavin~! Heh heh.. me remember u still got black Russians haben treat me hor? Hohoho~ no worries we have plenty of Thursdays ahead as long as u are not dispatched to tekong to tame monkey again LOL.
Wa freaking excited leh how. LOL.
This Thursday after Strategic Marketing and Integrated Marketing Communication presentations, I’ll rush down to meet amos and his mama’s fren’s son and daughter in law to go check out stuff bout amos studying in Melbourne. After that, my big cat will go take his basic theory test of car car, then I’ll go down to the studio to meet the guys. Will be wearing formal wear the whole day sia.. then I intend to play punk, instead of wearing shirt with my suit, I intend to wear spaghetti with my suit wor. See how lor, probably if I haven die of steaming yet by the time I meet the guys and have dinner with them, I might go down to help amos at the promotion stall at bugis junction..
My poor cat hafta wake at 6am daily and go to work and after that go help his mama at her stall until 10pm wor.. although is for these 2 weeks only but I quite heartache him leh. At least like if alternate days still alright lor, but she wants him to be there every single day, I find it too demanding lor. Not understanding enough sia.
Yesterday actually wanted to go down and help, but cos george return to studio pretty late, so by the time we end the stuff at studio, amos side oso ending le, so no need go help.. then today wanted to put the whole day to help him there, but my sister drop her daughter with my mum cos she having basic theory test today [which she calls fraud when she came back LOL] and my mum is practically struggling with two screaming monsters, so I stay at home to quarantine 1 from the other =_= then tml will hafta wake damn early go sch prepare for presentation, then after that is stay back do presentation slides for thurday’s imc presentation, and to call SAM machine and starhub to find back my money from the wrong billing account to dump it back into my damn internet account to reconnect my internet -_- cos one day my bro was too tired, and he went to SAM machine to pay our net bill – to the wrong billing account; therefore, tml I cant go down to the stall to help either. On Friday, might be going to napfa test with yi ting, so I would be dead tired to bother bout smiling to faceless crowds and promoting to faceless crowds and being frenly with those that bother to come out from the faceless crowd and show their face to me and enquire bout my new yr cookies. So basically, this week cant help much.
Heh heh. Suddenly tot of something, but it only applies to promoting things when I m god damn tired; and u would understand only if u chase after Bleach anime or manga heh heh:the faceless crowd that I hafta talk to and promote to is the Hollow Grande; while those that comes over to enquire are Hollows. They all suck my tiny blotch of leftover spiritual strength away.
Haven seen ting this week. Freaking miss =/ momo and ah vin too..
Oh ya. This entry is done on the laptop’s msword on Tuesday and uploaded into blog on Wednesday haha

Naughty Kids
cos of my internet being down and won't be up until the next time i have time to go chase after the relevant people to get it up, i m staying over at my boy's tonight to get my monday submissions done.
was doing my work on my laptop on a table specially set up for me by my boy bside his computer table. so we are like sitting side by side like nerds LOL.
he was busy playing warcraft and me doing my project.
he was supposed to be in bed by 12am since he gotta wake at 6am, but end up he played till 2, and we sneaked downstairs to the vending machine in pajamas hahaha. creeped out, making sure that the door is not making noise..
felt like secondary school kids. felt like our first date.
was not supposed to out with him at that time..
it was like 11pm+ after a movie with khryz n her then ass of a boyfriend, we decided to walk home from a bus stop after changi general hospital, cos the bus 17 was too rickety and i was paranoid that it might just fall apart soon. waited for the nex 17 at that bus stop for a while, but we got impatient and adventurous, and decided to walk home.
walked through factory areas near st anthony gals, through block 85 market, through the road along the police station bypassing fengshan pri to my house.. throughout the way was so afraid of getting caught on the way by my brother hahaha. especially when we were passing through 85 market lolx.
so is the same for our first date as a couple the next day, with khryz and that ass, at suntec city.. holding hands sneakily LOL.
the first time my brother realise his existance is like 4months later? and really, as fate has it, we go until clementi lor knn west side leh. we stay east side lor. we were on the way walking to his grandma hse when my brother's car came out from the carpark after checking on one of the coffee shop outlets he was managing lolx. he turn out and called my mum questioning her why m i seen with a ah beng ahahahahha! my mum buay tahan lor. her silly ah gong mao son in law so harmless where got beng LOL. juz happened that he was holding a pool cue bag and he dyed his hair lolx..
juz funny that he is turning 23 in exactly 10 months time, and i m turning 20 in 3 months, and we actually SneakED out to the vending machine downstairs lolx. and he was so tickled by my constant paranoia of getting caught and my reminders to him to move out of possible regions that we might be found if his mum goes to her bedroom window LOL.
enjoy while we are at it x)
my little cookie will grow up very soon..
and have no time for sucha whimsical moment..
probly inspired by what i've read in the new book my boy has gotten me, Love Eternally by Deborah Wrights, hence these 2 posts lolx.
alrights. back to work. got an individual report and a presentation to rush. and straight to school for presentation laters, then slp till nite and rush another individual report, then hand in on tues, then slp till nite then rush another, den hand in on wed, then slp till nite den rush another group one then wake up the nex day n do more then sleep den hand up then meet the princes who made my last 2 years in bedok south a happy happy one, especially my favourite prince bubuzai LOL for badminton, prata, teh tarik and talking cock session.. very very long no catch up le.. like 2 years ba. love them hell loads. they take me as i m n never judged me, always forgiving and helping and receiving me into their bunch anyday x)
anticipations =)
oh ya. muz muz muz mention this before i publish lolx.
was out at thomsom to take photos for entrepreneur presentation tml, and i was afraid of being alone and lost and lonely, my boy is at work, and its a definite no-no to ask any marketers - they would kill me then kill themself if they bother to go out with me on sucha day when the nex day is a heavy deadline LOL. and i called up gavin ho to acc me, no hesitate sia, he juz onZ and acc me there, despite me being bit bit late and lost in directions at thomson =.= though he only reached home aft MOS the nite before n home at 6am, and sent his sis to dance sch before he met me ^^
so touched la. the last time i wanted to get amos xmas prezzie, he was bit sick still acc me out and this time he so garfield so sleepy still acc me T_T
wad hav i done to deserve brothers like kenny and gavin (sim and ho lolx) T.T
ahaha. muz thx johnson for letting me go at 11pm that nite at work despite the disagreeing barnut and barnut for being a softee that nite n didnt insist against johnson(if the rumour was true), and yi ting for bringin me to dbl o that nite and randell for bringin me in with the waive off entrance and queueing and song for bringing randell to me, which ultimately brought me to the timely meeting that gavin noticed me and commented and his fren who was enthusiastic and came to ask me for my number even before he realise what happen ahahhaha! he often get sold lidat. i was tryin to sell him behind his back to stephanie the other day hahahahaha!
conclusion: i is a happy gal. loved. counted my blessings at this untimely timeliness x)

Proximity is of higher significance than Activity
i always find this statement of David Smiedt true ^-^
had a lazy afternoon today, stolen from his work and my projects.. he playing world of warcraft, me reading a book on the bed by the big big window.. breezy breezy sunny afternoon..
don't need an activities filled day, don't need pretty pretty, don't need good food, don't need him paying a lot of attention to me.. just telling me his new monster, his new level, taking water and food for me a bit; me laughing at the dialogue he n his game-mate aka campmate was having, asking him bout the monster he is fighting, cutting fruit for him; simple simple x)
though there are days when he would really feel like being out there swimming, and days when i feel like being out day strolling; no matter whats the decision in the end, its on the basis of compromise and the significance of proximity over activity that end our day with a smile on both faces x)
probably its cos i'm claustrophobic, i especially love his room, cos its bright enough with his entire wall of windows [the big big from ceiling to floor type if u get what i mean lolx]
bright and breezy, great view of the hill opposite, the train track, the junction and the traffic, most of all, the sky.
what could be more comforting than to have such a setting, with a comfy bed and my boy right beside me? ^^
enjoy while i have it... the next january will crawl upon me silently... soon enough... juz as the 15 years compulsory education creeps to an end suddenly.Labels: My Boy

The Last Test of Poly Life
the marketing 3rd year students had our last test paper in our 3 years of poly life yesterday.
had two paper ytd actually, but the last one, global marketing, is damn surreal LOL.
there's 10 minutes reading time before the paper start, so about 90% of the students seated quite early, since we tot the test is 2pm instead of 2.30pm.
2.20pm mr paul ng and mr gary lin gave out the papers, n reading time will be till 2.30pm.
everyone flip open first page, the whole hall laughing LOL. half the hall whispers WTF until it dun sound like a whisper.
after the first half an hour, students are allowed to hand up the papers, and those late comers are not allowed in anymore. many people were more than glad to hand up LOL. usually the teacher would flip open and check for any questions missed out, and so they did, and shaked head, and laugh. LOL~!
i left the hall at 3.05pm, i was so god damn surprise to see people like yi ting, ivanna and serene already sitting outside the hall chatting la! LOL. that shows, the paper is really tough.
and the best thing is, everyone laughing about the paper LOL. usually when the paper dun goes well, people would lament and kpkb outside the hall, especially ting =x hahaha i heard she refuse to talk the whole day when she blanked a 20 marks question during strategic marketing paper; but she's with me laughing about the global marketing paper lor! [but she passed the strategic marketing paper anyways, cos many ppl oso blanked that question, so that paper was moderated HAHA. wadz with papers these days man LOL.]
the first word that we see when we open the test paper already all buang lor LOL. ethnocentric polycentric geocentric orientation LOL.
and all the tips given in the revision lecture did not come out =_=
调虎离山计
LOL. damn funny paper la.
but of course, all those stuffs were in the notes, no less; probably its cos there's 2 tests that day, and there was also a report submission on the same day, that's why many not prepared ba. LOL.
but its a sure fukin funny way to end a 3 year's course..
ting's version on this matter
oh ya. the best part is, we just realised that my groupmate faith is not in our class for integrated marketing project 2, after we had submitted our report 2 weeks ago and finishing up the semester in 2 weeks LOL.
cos ytd, i called jane to ask if she's coming to imp tutorial, then she told me both claris and her is not coming. so i called faith, she said she's coming, but she got calculus tutorial at 9am - 11am 0.0 but the almighty computer system would not be so dumb to give her doubled timetable wad. our imp is at 10am..
after the last test of the day, we were sitting together, waiting for bubuzai aka sean to meet me go tea, then faith checked her timetable again, then realise that her class is actually tuesday, which means, she is not in our tutorial group for that subject! O.O
ultimate..
cos for imp, the project quite light, and many of the things could be adapted from global marketing's project, so we didnt meet much to discuss it, but juz do lor. then we never talked much about it de -.- den the tutorials only like 3 or 4 tutorials, of which the teacher on course for one, and yesterday is the last one, so we didnt really notice something amiss. and besides, she often overslept and miss lessons.. cos she stays boonlay, and she usually stays up late late to do things for project and work.
but i guess Mr Philip Siow would be kind enough to allow it ba, after all she DID done the project liao lor lolx.
oh wells.
after all that ruckus, me and bu went to bugis to have dinner, and met with amos; then me sent bu to work at my previous workplace: shunjuu sumiyaki restaurant somewhere near double O. the place used to look gloomy cos robertson quay was having some renovation works and development for this new entertainment area and condo. but now WoW. its so lively, so many new restaurants and chill out places.
visited my manager belinda and chatted with her, she felt that i should go try join SIA since i dun want to further my studies, cos it would be a great experience for me. then my reason for not joining: i dunno how to swim, and i dun wanna die with only a empty coffin. =P
the boss of shunjuu, chen yen, opened a new restaurant at gallery hotel, Satsuma. shunjuu was known not only for its sumiyaki dishes, but also its range of sake and shochu. but now Satsuma is even betta, its specialisation is Sake and Shochu, but there is the kitchen too, with a new menu too ^^ heard from the TV show by Dasmond Koh that it has the widest range of sake and shochu in the area.. that area has like a jap restaurant every few steps u take lor. *shake head*
yumi aka mimi-san was promoted from captain at shunjuu to manager at satsuma ^-^
mimi-san ask me if i wanna go back and work with them, i say as long as not with emily i might consider =x LOL. guess they really need staff now ba, that day when i message chen yen to congrats her for her new shop, she also asked me the same question. haiz we'll see.
then went back to bugis junction to meet amos, walked around, had the parklane wanton mee which is not as nice as the original branch at near prinsep there the building, and wandered to takashimaya cos amos wanna buy a James Patterson book which is not available at kino bugis.. i was grumbling all the way, cos i wanted to go bugis village, and not going to orchard in that kinda weather =.= [k contradicting.] but okie la, amos got me my Love Eternally by Deborah Wright which was not available in kino bugis the last time i went to find, and we had peach yoghurt smoothie for me and rosebud tea for him [o.o]at coffee club, while waiting for his mum.
okie la. loved yesterday loads ^-^Labels: My Boy, My Khaki, My Work

i'm not alone
read meg's.. realise i'm not alone. shldnt hav been the case to rejoice, but at least i dun feel as dumb as i was feeling..
probly a mirror sent to me for xmas ba. so much similarities. lol.
i hate myself today.
i was irritated with amos and lawrence, cos i was irritating today, i juz get irritate by little bits of stuff. feel like slappin myself. how can i snap at amos n lawrence. they always ultimo patience for me lor. haiz.
was also proud of myself today.
had my company appraisal form back from peter.. i didnt realise the little things that i do actually was appreciated. the miscommunication one mth back before i left villa, that made me so sad so disappointed with he whom i respect so much, he took the time to talk to me today; he spoke, i understood; if only that came earlier. he only had dinner at nearly 9pm lor. cos he was talkin to me before that.
all the misunderstanding then were cos of miscommunication of ideas and concerns from different levels, which was not communicated properly.. thus the unhappiness arising.
he gave me 53/60 for my appraisal.. 30 to pass, 48 to pass with commendation.
i really thank this man for his generousity the pass yr..
peter raised 3 things that he have problem with me lol.things he like about me:
- honesty. too honest for my own good.
- punctuality
- some miswritten table numbers
then i asked him.. durin the last mth of my work, there's an influx of newbies; i kept repeatedly remind and taught them the things to be done. but its often left undone n i'm doing by myself when my men are standing there blowing fan. and i heard i was voted the fiercest station leader.
- how i talk to colleagues and customers, the way i handle PR
- my work is neat whenever i hand in to him
- my eye for little details
- honesty
- very initiative and self motivated at work [if only i hav this attribute at sch oso]
how? i wrong ar? i never scold straight wor. i repeatedly taught and remind them many times first le wor.
peter say as long as i got give enough warning, they mite complain, but in their heart they noe well enuf its their own fault n i've given enough chances. i fulfilled my task as a station leader to manage my manpower, i m not at fault as long as i m not agressive.
peter told me, juz like the other day got this guy, fion repeatedly ask him to clear the table, so that the cake could be served, he repeatedly didnt do it. then fion did it and asked him why she can clear he cant. he give a superb moronic ans: u can give birth i cant.
bastard.
then he says he appreciates that i m very self motivated and initiative at work, i very happy sia. cos i nv noe that they wud notice. i tot since i m so blur n often make mistake and late, den at least what i can do i should do good to collect back some points lolx.
belinda from shunjuu also commented that she likes my initiative at work before..
X)
had a little chat with steven, very very kind of him.. to take the extra effort to guide me when he dun earn anything at all and not oblige at all since he is no longer a villa bali staff. he even offered that if i should need resources in future regarding events, i shld feel free to contact him. and if i need a job in this area, he can refer me. ^^
steven, ashley, johnson and peter all felt something about me:
i do things too scared make mistake, too careful until either i lose my direction, or i cant focus everything.
johnson and steven asked me to be more confident about myself, cos if a marketer needs an attribute the most, it would be confidence in persuading and selling my idea.
initially i was totally [90%] off-ish towards lawrence's offer to have me join his studio and do the admin and marketing stuffs, which later-onz i mite have to be wedding planner. i was totally no confident at all. i scared i cant help him but made them lose money, and throw his face infronta his partners.
asked steven's opinion juz now, he says i shld juz go ahead and try. the more places i get to try the betta. events is a very fun thing, he always says. cos its never fixed. u can always twist and turn, its all in ur hands. the only thing that doesnt change is, the job is about organising things.
i repeated the above paragraph that steven said to lawrence, and he very conveniently "ya lor ya lor" me, as though he had hitched a ride on steven's to rope me into his studio lol.
aft i met them and hanged around villa bali a while chatting with colleagues, i went to centrepoint to meet amos and his mum to go supper together at jalan bersar.
amos's mum is really kind.. actually she needs me to give her a work schedule weekly.. but she understood that its really tough on my side with the crazy intervals of deadlines, so she says i juz need to call one day in advance if i can work the nex day.
i is not alone. with so much sweet people holding me as i learn to walk by myself [some to list from today: the villa bali mgrs, amos's mum, lawrence, my motley proj team and more], with so much sweet people who walks behind me quietly waiting to hold me when i fall, [some to list from these few days: kenny, alvin, gavin ho, momo, khryz, rix, meg and more] and my everReady baobao amos =D
blessed.
and i is blessed to have a faery that reminded me to count my blessings at the last sunrise of year 2006.From Deborah Wright's The Rebel Fairy,
[not in exact words] sometimes u juz feel so gloom and see no hope, but outta the sudden, u sorta cleared all your thoughts and get lifted in ur spirit. that's when a fairy near u absorbed ur sadness and whispered joy into ur ear.Labels: My Boy, My Enlightenment, My Khaki, My Work

Dreamy Mood
got this from a chicago gal's blog ^^A guy that hugs you till you eventually shout at him to let go
A guy that kisses you to keep you from yelling at him
A guy that wipes your tears for you without asking why and whispers "it's okay" softly
A guy that that cheers you up even though his day was worse than yours
A guy that calls you to tell you that he misses you after seeing you just three hours before
A guy that runs to your house when you text him that you need him.
A guy that says, "Stop playing around..," with a smile, after you told him that you wanted to stop seeing him
A guy that tells you that he will wait for you till you meet him where you've always met
sweet hor? as i read down this list, i tick tick tick mentally hahaha =x
then ytd when i read meg's fren's blog, she says the first kiss feeling of having butterflies in the stomach, haha i dunno isit cos we not used to PDA [public display of affection], though we together for 5 yrs, sometimes we still quite shy in public de lor. probly is more like me that is shy ba. i ever asked amos, why we never like those couples so intimate in public, is cos i dun wan n he dun wan, or cos i dun wan to? he say cos he respect me, he noes i shy. LOL. so yea. still will have the butterfly feeling x)
in the photoshoot by lawrence, sometimes some shots, amos is already uneasy that he has to smile, which he dun usually smile and pose for the camera, and besides, lawrence is around. so tt y some photos he still looks constipated HAHA =xtoday at the shop, amos was chatting with the manager, when a customer who had already left, turned back and ask LiLi to pass me a note with his number on it. the way he write very funny.. hehe.. n i was amazed that he can write so much on the back of a receipt =P
then at the end of the note, he initialed: Justin, the pink shirt guy.
i went up to the upper deck where amos was n passed him the note.. he face damn funny la, read liao den tease me: the pink shirt guy~
i muz admit, the guy look quite cute. but i hate it when guys dun ask me directly, but pass note or worse, ask someone pass message to me. n he did both =/ lili ask him pass to me, he run away =_=
my mum says, why the boy so silly, come more often then will know me le ma, need so awkward meh~ the guy at takashimaya last time also everyday come buy herbal tea from me.. but he still end up write me a note HAHA. then the nex day he came n ask me why i never call him. i replied "call u for?" =_=
its sometimes quite surprising, that its a shop selling herbal tea, desserts and traditional stuff, its a wonder to me already when there are ppl my age frequenting, its even more a wonder when its not geeks but funky ppl who would come make fren LOL. he oso quite heng la. i one wk only one day there, n manage to bump into him.
then managed to recognise a group of senior citizens who came last wk on xmas eve, they were pretty humourous n nice ppl ^^
and met this little family, sounds like indonesian chinese ba. they were very enthusiastically practising mandarin.. but out of habit, i spoke english in return HAHA so spoil the mood lolx.
the food there is nice, the ppl there is nice, the customers there is nice too ^^ look forward to working there again the nex time, especially when frens like yiyin, kai jun, wei li and celestine's fren's coming in to work liao ^^ rejuvinating the brand Yi Kou Wei with us hippy young hearts! =D
this new outlet is not only a new area that they venture into, but the a milestone that marks a turn in the company's culture ba. =)
workin here is diff from last time workin at the take away outlets lor. cos those times is with those aunties, and they are like more they are definitely rite, and every little thing i do is scrutinized, and its either they penalise me cos i'm amos's gal, or they super take care of me cos i m his gal. i was so upset at a time, when i tot this person is really really nice to me, and i really trust that its all sincere. then amos's mother hate to break the news to me, but she wants me to at least noe how cunning this person is, and the rest is up to me. its not easy for me to trust someone, but when i do, i totally throw myself in. damn sadded then.
workin here, they dun say much, they oso dun ask me do thing =_=
i juz move around, i see things i do. sometimes they seem shock about my initiativeness and certain skills around the place with the products, probly they didnt noe i used to work with them for quite some periods the past few years ba. probly they too tot that the crown prince's galfren is supposed to be a vasE. oh wells.
at least i got good comments ^^
amos say the mgr is not the anyhow type of person. bad means bad, good means good. if he says ok means ok. so he asked him if my performance is alright so far, and he actually said good. ^^
amos say he's proud of me =D
finally i have something that he can be proud about! i always feel like i make a lot of trouble for him and throw his face a lot.. always worried bout how his fren mite think of me everytime he bring me on gathering with his ns frens.. amos wans me to hang around with them n not tagged to him only on gatherings.. so when he's chatting with some or singing or wad, i would go join the other guys play games too.. but i was also worried if they would find me too enthu. =/ cos when i start playin i would quite high..
that day went clubbing juz carelessly created a misunderstanding.. my forfeit was a whole gls of brandy coke, and i was pretty full liao, so one of the guys was bside me, i juz never think much, turn over ask him if he thirsty wan help me drink heh heh. when i play with amos's camp mates, they oso onZ de, that y i never think much.. den he oso damn on. he only ask, how much? i say half den he gulp liao. aisEH. but then i didnt realise that since my fren is interested in the guy, thus she mite be uncomfortable with that.. haiz still feel quite guilty now. good thing is that my fren is not the kinda kiddy lian type that will dumbly bcos of such things dun fren me de lor, if not i'll dunno hate the guy for a long time or hate my straight square brain -_-
had supper with amos and his dad at simpang bedok juz now, and met my lecturer gary lin, and think is his wife ba.. and 2 others ^^
the last time we met a HOD from our secondary school, chilling out there.. we were thinking, haha scarli he wanted to pluck out a cigg, but know we are around then dun dare, then cursing in his heart LOL
youtube, dailymotion and photobucket had been pretty unfriendly these few days =_=
especially photobucket.Labels: My Boy, My Random-ness, My Work

X'mas
this yr's xmas is so quiet compared to last yrs.. but oso rite la, xmas eve supposed to be silent nite or something rite LOL.
last yr was crazy playin crazy ribbons and party poppers with colleagues managers bosses and customers. this yr's work is such a big diff lor! so quiet. cos chg work to centrepoint, and the new shop is at the new wing of centrepoint, the basement, which is quite maze like to get there.. n the awareness of the place is still pretty low.. so i can count more staffs in the entire floor than PASSING BY CUSTOMERS at any one time. so dun need to mention seated customers ya. basically the brands available there are all pretty popular actually, juz that the awareness of this place is simply too low to allow any of the brands to shinE.
still had fun though. first day and last day of work for the month haha. cant cope with sch + work la. bo bian. cut my finger while washing the kinda pot with a metal net inside, then u can chomp chomp the handle to make the tea thicker kinda thingy.. the metal net cut me..
finished work at 10pm, which we initially expected probly 12.30am. but the traffic is pathetic la. one of the shops actually closed for the day at 730pm lor. if its takashimaya or bugis junction, that stall's boss mite have a lot to explain to the mall lolx.
went to east coast cabana with amos first to wait for kenny to come down and drink with us.
wa robber lor. tmd. this one i got hell loads to complain.. nb.....
when we reached, we noticed that the place is full even though other than their original seatings, they had extended make shift tables to the outside of the skates shop and bicycle shop. so we expected to be put on waiting list. juz that, we didnt expect the waiting list so fast.. we juz reached mac n placed my order, thinkin we would eat a bit there first while waiting, the gal called us to go back le. =.=
i ordered a white russian when i sat down. the guy Har? 3 times before he took my order. then he came back, "sorry ar, white russian sold out, if want muz wait quite a while leh. u want order other drinks first?" i smiled back n shake head.
den he came back again, "sorry ar, really dun have le, somemore cos now quite a lot of ppl.."
i say: "is it kahlua or is it milk that u guys run out? if its milk can i at least have black russian?"
"sorry ar, i oso not sure, but i was juz told that we dun have the drink leh."
another person comes, i ask her about the drink, she says "orh sorry we dun sell anything outta the menu" HELLO. wad kinda bar are they having? any decent bar, u ask for a drink, on the menu onot, as long as they got the ingredients, they get u. cos international cocktails are too much to be listed in a pathetic menu.
den i ask, so can i have 1 vodka neat and 1 kahlua neat? [black russian is juz mix vodka n kahlua lor.]
"sorry cant, cos we only sell shots for tequila."
and btw, apparently, their cocktails prices shot up to $20 per drink for the festive season.
what the fuck.
actually we were having plans of gg to k box cineleisure and sing until the xmas morning.. i made the reservation le.. but khryz sick so she n francis not coming.. den gavin [not my bro, is the one i noe from dbl o] oso fever so not coming. so left me amos kenny n huat. den amos prefer cabana cos of the price n he didnt wan to stay until 6am in the first place, so huat gave it a miss, only me amos n kenny drinkin.
was quite sadded when i didnt receive xmas sms from my galfrens.. not even a forwarded msg.. not to say a personalised one.. den aft 12am, i received one from andy, a guy from my last workplace, and one from wei xiang. so touched lor! personalised for me de.. den jasmin and megdalene was having smoke break at work, and they called to send their love! so touch so touch.. aft that still received a few others from huiling, veron, alex and more! ^^ and when i returned, i saw wishes on the tag board of this blog too! and on msn juz now, my regular customer at villa bali saw my nick "sick little monkey", she came to give bit bit concern and wished me too ^^
quite disappointed.. called someone but he didnt ans, as per norm of the past 1 month.. n called another.. was quite cold..hence that emo post earlier on..[i cut away the emo parts n updated as a new entry last nite 27.12.06] but i understood le la.. they oso got their own probs.. i cant be expecting them to smile to me 24/7. i noe they dun hate me =]
and on xmas day, me n amos slept the whole day, only woke up for a while to eat lunch, and unwrap my present for amos ^^ i bought him the pyagu penguin mini water dispenser to put at his cubicle in the office lolx.. his table is jammed with his manga figurines, wood models that he built and a couple of toys from me LOL. and he bought me a pInk pyagu penguin water dispenser to put at my room too! ^^
then we went back to slp again.. in the evening, we popped down to ikea to eat meatballs LOL. amos's first time to go to ikea tampines haha!
ate quite full sia.. he have 15 meatballs, and me have 10 meatballs, then we shared a raw salmon salad, a chocolate almond cake, a chicken wing each, and a can of mug root beer.
met a very interesting old couple.. the lady was quite irritated by some other customer when she was queueing for food, so when she returned, she kept saying the same things repeatedly. the husband was very quietly eating all the while, until the third time or so when she repeat again, then the husband says: oKey.. i noe already. dun keep repeating, the tape will spoil wan.
lolx.. throughout the whole meal, the guy really very good nature lor. this is really an ideal marriage haha. one who talks a lot, the other who brush things aside optimistically, not taking details pettyly. x) i guess thats how me n amos still together today ba. he is a lot cooler than me on some things, and i'm a lot cooler on some other things, so we cool cool each other to prevent getting into big trouble =P
after the meal, we walked one round through the showroom, and we bought a set of 6 mini rock glasses. damn cute la! its about 3/4 the size of a regular rock glass u see at club serving ur vodka sprite or something. den amos was curious wad the swedish market sells.. he was pretty attracted to this apple cider and pear cider thingy lol. but a bit warm leh the temperature, bsides, pretty not the time ba, cos we gg home le, no point buy then.
then we saw this chocolates on the rack.. amos highlighted one to me.. i think yiyin and Liz can eat it with no fear and guilt lor [NOT that they are fat, at all.]
Presenting to you, the Not Chocolate, Chocolate =P
waited for cab for like 20mins.. walk oso reach my hse liao lor. opposite only~ den amos can take cab easily from my house area to rush home for dinner with his family n go movie later lor.
before we went into ikea, he was on the phone with his mum to ask her to purchase a new iron cos before we left his hse, his grandma complained that the iron had gone bonkers, no heat liao. den he was folding his new espirit trousers' leg, n he threw the phone to me to ask me continue the conversation -_-. aft finishing about the iron, his mum asked what time we gg back for dinner, i said only he is gg back, i'm not. i was so surprised that she questioned me as though i'm her son: "why leh?"
"cos i need to go back and do things le."
"eat already then go back la"
"haha nvm la, opposite my house already.."
"ok lor, ask him wad time he coming back later.."
=_= .. amos says "told u long ago she already consider u as one of us what. thats why she never gei gao with u de."
x) going back to yikouwei to work feels like returning home after roaming the streets, fighting for surviver for a year lolx.
then i returned home to find my sister and bro in law n my niece accompanyin my mum =)
ttz my low-pitch, cosy x'mas. how's yours?Labels: My Boy, My Complaints Aloud, My Khaki, My Random-ness

Part Time Girlfriend
haiz. during internship that 3 months, i only see my boy once a week.
after internship, i oso only see my boy once or twice a week or so.
machiam part time gf, full time bf. anytime, 24hrs, 7days week, if i got a problem, he's a call away.
and he never minded it.. never grudgy bout it.. always so understanding..
i was damn turned off when i heard one gal sayin she wants to break up with her boy cos during sch term, he simply works n studies so hard, they dun have much time to hang out tgther. during holiday, he works his ass off, they dun have much time to hang out tgther.. den wadz the point of having a boyfren who cant spend time with her more?
wtf.
amos juz analyze with me in a long term way lorx.. that's how he usually consoles me when its the busy period at his office, or at my sch.. he'll say:baobei.. juz these 3 mths.. busy finish le den we can relac le.. dun worry k?
x) other than not having much money sense, i really haven much to complain bout him leh. LOL. wan more excuse to use when the grass-is-greener-on-the-other-side syndrome kick in oso hard leh. knn.
he is not the type that is so keen on taking photos all these yrs.. and he is definitely not the type that would like to dump money into buying himself lotsa sweat.. but he still very enthusiastically took leave on 12th dec to have the photoshoot with me.. and he sweat a lot a lot a lot since its a outdoor shoot during like 3pm to 6pm.. really really appreciates the things he does.. x)
there's this old show in 1999.. 10 things i hate about u.. found the poem the female protagonist wrote for her guy lolx.. well, content wise, its him to her, but the last line is applicable for many couples i guess? ^^10 things I hate about you
I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
not even close;
not even a little bit;
not even at all.Labels: My Boy

Some Just Never Learns Their Lesson
why muz ppl always hurt the one they love when they are young?
do they think that youth is their capital, for them to cash on to be forgived, when they make mistakes and regrets and wants to get things back like how it was?
this weekend, i realised what a guy and a gal had brutally done to someone they claim they love, again.
talk bout the gal first. god bless her man.
she is the one who broke up with her 2 yrs boyfren, who is sucha playful boy but willing to work hard day in day out juz to earn more money for the 2 of them to enjoy more. she went off with another guy earlier this yr, only to regret a month later, and decided to come back to her ex boyfren. her ex boyfren then said:if u reckon i would smile and accept u again, stab at me with a knife, i mite laugh louder.
and she said:if someone dun love u the way u want, does not mean he doesnt love u with all he has.
and now? barely few months, she's gone with yet another guy.
she better be wiser this time, cos i believe her ex beau has became much wiser; he seems to grieve lesser than the last time.
and now the guy.
he once said, he noes he wun be able to meet a gal like her in future.. but still..
and then, yrs later, he confessed to the gal, as a fren, that he was too arrogant at that time and played the hearts of too many gals.
not long later, he says its the gal's wishful thinking on her part all along, to her best fren.
bastard. even if wadever thats happen between u two, surely a gentleman would not go talking around like this. worse than kiss and tell. ass.
a yr later, he attempted to woo a gal whom he had attempted to woo 5 yrs back. back then, he had hurt her deeply by wooing her, got her interest, then abruptly got into another relationship with another gal. so he shamelessly returned to woo her, and GOD! when was asked by a mutual fren of his feeling for her, he actually denied everything and twisted the story.
i had quoted this Rene Liu Ruo Ying song here before.. but this really is my favourite song, and its really apt for this lesson.. haiz.
后来 --- 刘若英
后来 我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去消失在人海
后来终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不再
桅子花白花瓣
落在我蓝色百褶裙上
「爱你」你轻声说
我低下头闻见一阵芬芳
那个永恒的夜晚
十七岁仲夏
你吻我的那个夜晚
让我往后的时光
每当有感叹
总想起当天的星光
那时候的爱情
为什么就能那样简单
而又是为什么人年少时
一定要让深爱的人受伤
在这相似的深夜里
你是否一样
也在静静追悔感伤
如果当时我们能不那么倔强
现在也不那么遗憾
你都如何回忆我
带着笑或是很沉默
这些年来有没有人能让你不寂寞
后来 我总算学会了如何去爱
可惜你早已远去消失在人海
后来终于在眼泪中明白
有些人一旦错过就不再
永远不会再重来
有一个男孩爱着那个女孩
very very very glad, these 5 years 4 months 1 day in the relationship of Amos Chow and Joyce Tan, we've never given up or break up once due to hiccups in the relationship, nor temptations of the greener-grass-on-the-other-side syndrome. [i admit, there are temptations, often. but crushes are but projection of perfection of the other person.. all his faults will still surface aft the love hormones dies. he whom i love is one that i have in a parcel, packaged full with his charm, his faults, his frens, his family.]:: bite tight tight, die die don't let go ::Labels: My Boy, My Complaints Aloud

Full - Time Student
since the second semester of poly yr one, i've always been working part time and studying..
quite screwed. cos i is ill disciplined.
amos wanted me to quit villa bali after my internship ends, so that i can concentrate on my final semester of studies.. i tot so too.. but end up i quitted the place becos his mother's new shop wants me to go over and help.
the shop is opening on december 12th.
i quitted today.
Full - Time Student now.
damn screwed for the past 2 and a half yrs, barely scrape through everything.. borderline passes.. its plain ass and idiotic lor.. cos i noe i can definitely do better if i concentrate fully on it.
at least straight B lor.. but i juz got carried away and half done here half done there..
if i had been successful in my part time jobs like li zhen earning 40k a new year and buang my studies still ok, but end up i never really that pro at work oso leh?
amos says, left one semester, late but not never ma. as long as i change my attitude and score this semester, next time employer see liao oso will understand i changed my attitude and willing to work hard can make it de..
what really touches me is that, my boy says:baby dun worry bout phone bill, net bill and ezlink top-ups. we are going through these 3 months together. i'll work hard together with you.
i need to get back onto the properly disciplined track i got off 9 yrs back. had it been the me 9 yrs back, i would not be worried bout money for this semester now or studies, cos i would hav been consistant enough for my studies, and what i had earned the last 3 mths would definitely be tiding me through.
but somehow, the now me, screwed everything up, and drags my boy along.
final 3 months in temasek poly, as a student, as a child. 3 months later, i'm left to sail on my own.
i would wish that at least i have my boy by my side to coo me when i m afraid and lost, but the tentative plan is that he would be leaving next yr end for australia..
i really cant see any light or any positive way or results out of this semester.. and beyond.
bless me the strength to work all that i should; and courage to accept all that should come.Labels: My Boy, My Contradiction, My Work
