today is my last day at the hotel...feel quite sad wor...it was raining this morning...wonder if God knows im feeling blue? susan called in sick today...poor dear...haiz...hope she's not too seriously ill...well, im sure gonna miss the chance to say one last goodbye to her...she's been so nice towards me thru my whole stay here...
i gave ah poo tuition yest...my first ever official tutee...so intereating ya? haha...well, i muz say i think im pretty rusty liao lo...previously i would have been able to handle tis easily...but it went pretty well i guess...no official complaints...
oh ya...there was a nationwide blackout last nite...for a moment it was damn cool!!! haha...at first i tot it was only my hse tt went konk cos sometimes tt happens when the power trips...but when i looked out of the window...the whole street was in total darkness...i muz say, my family is damn prepared la...immediately got dunno how many torches being turned on...at least one for each person in e household...tt's excluding the light fr all hps...haha...mom didn allow me to go out for a drive wif dear...cos she said it was too dangerous...with all the traffic lights out n all...sigh....so in e end me n mei spent a romantic moment out on the swing...e moon was shining so damn brightly like it neva did b4...lucky there was a cool breeze...so yep...fortunately, power came back on again 30mins later...we're luckier than other areas i hear...
felt quite melancholic later tt nite...dunno y also...most likely PMS blues...i hate tt...it doesn help tt all he wanted was to go to sleep...i kept him on e phone as long as i cud...i think i juz wanted the company...his company..even if its on the phone...but all i get is a cold line over at e other end...literally silence between us...geez...so saddening...tt e one person i would turn to first when im feeling down is not always there for me...at tt moment i really missed laoba...at least tt's one person i could always count on as my late nite phone companion... n even thou we dun haf to say anything on e phone (hrm..i think a lot of pple dun get dis...y stay on e phone when u dun talk..but it's juz e presence of the person...tt's quite hard to explain la...) u feel very comforted lo...but boh pian...laoba is far far away...
hrm...had a disturbing dream last nite...i dreamt of dear's ex...n in e dream...there were e 3 of us...n 2 of them were wearing "qing lu zhuang"...so lame lor...white top n black bottoms...i remember tt in e dream...i was questioning him abt it...(cos he neva wears white n black) den he brushed me away...n den SHE came over n called me a bitch...y did i steal her bf...wad e hell...so i told her its not my fault tt u dunno i have been existing all this while...cos someone didnt tell u abt me...and anyway...i wasn e one in e picture when they broke up...heck...and den i woke up cos e alarm rang...so weird...of all e pple in e world...y e hell did i dream of her? *sigh*

work
ok...today's been an okay day...at least i was kept busy in office...hrm..i think im like e only person who's so happy to be given work to do in office man...my colleagues were damn amused...cos i've been gg ard asking if they haf stuff for me to do....n everybody shake head...but today i did some powerpoint work...sourced for pix for OCEAN DAY..which is like a theme day for e hotel..blah blah...so yeah...n i've got some typing for tml... =)
well, in any case, i'll b out of a job soon...next wk's my official last day...xianz.. either i slack e remaining time or find myself another job...hrm..boss has been asking me y i come into office so early...cos for e past few days i've been gg in at 8:30 instead of 9...aiyah..boh pian..now tt dad's got dis new contract, gotta wake up early or else i'll miss my transpo to e train station...but i think dis whole gg to work early thingy is definitely not helping my waistline..why? cos when i reach raffles place early, i'd go ard n walk walk...n end up buying breakfast...yep...one one hand, spend money...on e other, get fatter!!! oh NOOO!!! *groan* but ok la..one more wk to go, so how much harm can tt be???
susan says she'll b giving me a treat on my last day...so cool...will be dining at the hotel restaurant...my first time there man!! haha..wonder if the food is really good... try n i'll let u all know ya? =P but i still wanna try their chocolate buffet!!!

is communication and trust the key elements to having a stong and sustainable relationship?
dia n chris r gettin married...i'm so happy for them...they are like so good for each other...how is it that u juz know that "he" is "the one"???? don't people change/grow over time? like how pple are different when they are in sec sch...jc...army...uni...when they come out into e working world? had dinner wif june n co. the other evening...we were celebrating june's bday...and we were juz talking abt how it is tt we prob wun be thinking of settling down so early n so young even thou we might haf set an age target to be married...like 25? bcos we aren easily contented souls...we're juz leaving our options open for as long as we can cos someone better might just come along...or somethings might change and affect what u might haf as a couple now...or maybe u feel that there are still some "imperfections" in e other person and u're waiting for some miracle to happen to change it....so u juz don't get committed...so to a certain extent...i admire chris n dia's devotion towards each other.."daring" to take tt step.. even thou e wedding is prob gonna b held 3 yrs fr now...
it's good to haf a girl's nite out once in a while..cos u get to see different perspectives...about e same issue..n u know they are not like words juz to fu yan or make u happy cos they are not like "involved" in the relationship...n it's probably issues that they might face or will likely face in the future...
and so i've decided tt jealousy issues...largely MY PROBLEM...it's so cliche to say "it's not u, it's me"...but i think i gotta admit tt somehow...cos i do agree tt i'm definitely more sensitive n more easily upset than other girls...it's juz so difficult to try to use reason to overwrite emotions...maybe it's cos his track record aint exactly that clean either...but for a long while, he hasn done anything to antagonise me...and i shd learn to contain my feelings...not let every little thing bother or upset me so much...
we had a talk last nite...cos some issues cropped up again...i know i've been putting a considerable amt of pressure on him...it's not doing e relationship any good...but like wad he said...his frens b4 me can't change...so i've only gotta accept them...n there are limits as to what he will and will not do for me...which i can understand...but thing is, to be dreadfully, brutally honest...i cannot trust him wholeheartedly...bcos i know tt he will lie if concealing e truth makes me happy...he will lie if me not-knowing make life easier for him....maybe not lie...but conceal info...juz don't say stuff...n i hate tt...really i do..cos he's kinda trapped between a rock n a hard place...cos if he says sth tt upsets me...his life wun b all sunshine either...if i find out stuff myself, it wud b worse...so it's difficult...
i wonder wad would really happen if i cant take it one day? cos u know..certain pple can never be out of his life...not completely...would i give up? tt stubborn streak in me finally caving in? tt would be heartbreak i think...cos thou i do not trust...i do love him a whole lot...
my colleagues were havin some lunchtime discussion e other day...peong was sayin tt a guy will more likely than not succumb to temptation...this, coming fr a guy, is quite interesting actually...he told us of how a fren would sms his wife "sweet dreams, good nite honey..." while in a brothel having sex with another...which makes me come to think, can men ever be trusted? hey...im not a man-hater or anything...but true stories like these are making me cynical beyond hope...for all u know when u're having a romatic dinner wif ur partner, he calls another girl right in front of u and u think it's juz another soccer buddy or sth...
UGH...im so screwed up...i think mayb it's best tt i shd juz be a nun or sth...
but of cos...life wud be so boring w/o men! >_^

it's been some time since my last post...too lazy to blog la...
well, spent e wkend watching sex n e city season 2...thanks to pz for lending me e vcd... =D yep...i love tt show...it's humorous, witty...n it deals wif an issue tt pple know abt but hardly eva speak of in sg...i think it's still a conservative society we haf...i mean...think abt it...my mom would flip if she knew i was watching SATC...
went to celebrate father's day last sat....yeah i know...im 1 wk early...who cares...my dad didnt seem to mind at all...i hope he enjoyed e treat at e east coast seafood place...to me...e food was ok la...but i think my parents were tryin to save me money by not ordering sharks fin soup...which incidentally is my favourite anyway...ha...had chilli crab thou...yum yum... =P
ooh...today i tagged along when my colleague brought e new-comers for hotel orientation...it's so super cool i tell u...cos we get access to all the nice suites n stuff...there's e loft suite(which is basically 2 levels...specially popular wif couples having their wedding at e hotel...but in my opinion...it's not romantic n cosy enuff) and the governor's suite...which is grand indeed! wonderful stereo systems and a whole living room for whoever u need to entertain...plus an office...and of cos the biggest room of all...e far east suite...where mariah stayed in during her visit to sg... yeah...it was HUGE! but too big if u're juz 1 or 2 pple...it gets a bit eerie...but den again...perks include ur own private balcony and a private lift! how cool is tt! haha...den of cos took e tour ard e rest of the hotel...blah blah...e pool is pretty small...but it overlooks e singapore river...totally "open" concept...but i had fun...yep yep...esp e tea-break after...i LOVE e chocolate desserts...*drool* ate 2 pieces n i felt guilty...ha!

perhaps it's juz wishful thinking on my part or maybe my expectations are too high...
an evening tghr, in my opinion, is more than juz e narration of a trip and looking at photos...
clearly, my body language doesn show my feelings...cos e other party obviously doesn understand...sigh...of perhaps im e one not getting it...
not every bad feeling can be washed away by some TLC...n definitely there's no pt trying to create any sort of "mood" when there IS NO MOOD LEFT...note e important word here...LEFT...meaning, there initially WAS A HAPPY FEELING...but it's gone...
GROWL..im juz feeling sore n in a very bitchy mood...
