I am in a anytime-can-concuss mode now. Cos yesterday I went out for a mahjong session and just got in at 4.30am this morning. I slept until 8.30am and then I woke up to come to work. The worst thing is that I lost money in the game. Around $10. What's more, this morning I took a cab to my office and the driver made a wrong turn. Instead of heading to my office, it went on the highway again. So the blur driver need to make a U-turn and while doing it, he miscalculated the angle, thus had to "go-stun" and turn again. I was thinking to myself that will I be so suay to have an accident on the last day of the year. In the end, the cab fare is around $18.00 but he charge me $16.00. Ok lah.. As I don't often take cabs from my house so I'm not sure what is the correct fare. Anyway just want to thank God that I can arrive safely as it was raining heavily on my way here.

There are a few things that I managed to achieve this year which I stated in my Goals Card in the beginning of 2004.

1) Get good results in my studies (which I did, all "As")
2) Lose weight (so far I lost around 4 kg)
3) Exercise (I'm taking Yoga now so considered as exercise lah)
4) .. (cant remember liao.. Must go home and see the card then update again)

I really want to thank God that I manage to achieve all the above. It really cant be done without His divine help. For example my results, it is all because of Him. Seriously sometimes we take God for granted just like we take our loved ones for granted. Thinking that He will be with us forever cos He love us and cant bear to leave us. But it is wrong. In the end we will hurt both Him and ourselves. It is often during the time of festivities that we often forget about Him. As we stuff ourselves with good food, enjoy lovely company and receive nice presents, we did not think of thanking Him. At the end of the day, after so much fun and laughter, we drop into bed without a word with Him. Thinking about it makes me sad as I'm often guilty of the above behavior. I shall try my best to praise, worship and thank God everyday.

I am more tired after the holidays than before. Too many late nights and not enough sleep. And too much good food makes me sick.. Literally. I'm having a sore throat now and am feeling under the weather. I think it is the extremely delicious chocolate that I had at my friend's place on Christmas Eve. What's more, before that we had steamboat. Not just the soupy kind but the BBQ kind as well. And me being a glutton, had durians yesterday.. Making my sore throat even worse. Hahha.. I guess I deserve it for being a pig.

It was a really packed weekend for me as I went to 2 of my friends' place and church. The only time I relaxed is yesterday, however I had a late night so back to square one. Today is going to be a long day as well cos am going movies with friend. We were thinking of watching either National Treasure (yucks! Nicholas Cage) or Gong Fu Hustle (Chinese movie leh).. Am going to see where got tickets on the net now..

The funny thing about giving gifts is that even if you do not wish to spend money on Christmas presents, you will have to. As you would need to buy something for someone that has given you a gift. If you do not buy, you will feel pai seh thus you have to. And it is so difficult to buy a gift that the other person likes. It is even more difficult when you have very small budget... However, women would take this as a challenge as they would like the opportunity to buy something that is cheap and nice. Haha..

The worse thing is when the person gives you the gift last minute and you have to rush out to buy something for the person before Christmas arrives. Wah.. and to persuade the person to meet up the next day so that you can give him/her the gift. I should not be so mean about this because those ppl that give me the gifts are those that like me and appreciate me so I shall be kinder to them.

To all those that are reading my blog..

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Today is truly a very busy day.. Have been rushing things for my Club's anniversary celebrations. However, there is a bottleneck situation as my work is then passed to my manager for approval and he is always MIA. Then he being a very "funny" person would keep calling me to do this and that and then never come back to clear or approve the letter. Dunno he busy doing what (hint hint.. pls refer to my earlier posts and find out)

The most angry thing is that someone just confirmed an event on next Monday and I already took leave on the day. And because the person hosting the event is close to my manager thus my manager asked me to handle the event. What's more, it is a small meeting of 13 people and we are just earning from them the miserable room rental. He can let the maintenance exec go on leave on the day but not me. What the hell?! The maintenance guy is suppose to take care of the operations side and he can go on leave and I can't?! Unfair!!! Dunno what is he thinking about...

Yesterday was doing a particularly difficult Yoga posture and today am having neck ache because of it. The post requires us to lay on the floor and then swing our legs over our head and try to touch the floor behind me. Wah.. My neck and shoulders pain until want to cry. But it is suppose to be good for preventing typroid..

I am having a tough time concentrating on my work as I'm fasting today. Actually to tell the truth, there is not much work. I think it is because this is the holiday season, everybody is not in any mood to work. The thing is that as long as I'm working then I won't feel hungry so I'm hoping for some work to come my way. I know I'm rambling on about something unimportant.

Sometimes I simply just detest my colleagues especially the head of departments. Since they know their staff so well, then they should know if they want to participate in the Christmas Gift Exchange and then they should let me know about it. Instead they wait until I have prepared the names and passed it around then they say that they do not wish to participate. What rubbish. I already prepared the names and people might have already picked your name and last minute you tell me that you do not want to join in.
THEN YOUR BLOODY IDIOTIC HOD SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME IN THE BEGINNING WHEN I BROUGHT IT UP IN A OPERATIONS MEETING!!!!!! AND NOT SAY I HAVE NOT ASKED FOR THEIR APPROVAL BEFORE PRINTING THE NAMES!!!!

Sigh.. I do not understand these people...

I had a huge surprise yesterday. Bf decided to go shopping with me after church for a diamond bracelet. He was the one to initiate it and I was surprise when he dragged me into Soo Kee to look at the designs. I did not asked him for it and the strangest thing is that I did not even want it. It is too expensive. The cheapest and nicest that we could find after looking around is $678 from Goldheart. And I still think it is too expensive. I told him why not he just give the money to me so that I can use it pay my school fees. Then he said that I am a moneyface. Idiot. Paying school fees is much more practical then buying diamond bracelet wat.

The reason why he is buying diamond bracelet for me is that previously I told him I would only marry him after he had bought for me the "4 dian jin" (4 pieces of gold jewelry). And now the last piece that is still missing is the bracelet. I do not know if he is planning to propose with the bracelet or that because he just received his bonus thus he want to get a gift for me. He is funny like that, very indirect person. Getting thoughts and feelings out of him is like prying apart a oyster shell with bare hands. Very tough and painful.. For him and me.

In the end, we did not buy anything because I said that I can wait until he has claimed back his school fees from his company. Just in case the money cant be claimed and he still has his bonus to back up for his next instalment of school fees. Wow.. I'm impressed by my own thoughtfulness. Hahhaa..

Had a late night yesterday cos after class, my fren said to send me home and in the end we end up at Lau Pa Sat eating supper and after that we went airport to fetch her bf. After which, we sent him home and she sent me home. Wah.. Reach home at about 12.30am? And today my class might decide to go out for drinks after lessons with the lecturer.. We always do that after a module and sometimes we would invite the lecturer if we like him/her. Think going to have trouble keeping my eyes open for the rest of the day.

Yesterday while having supper with fren, we came upon this topic of how we want our bfs to give us materialistic comfort. She said as all of her previous bfs either are students or did not have stable jobs thus now she wants a guy that can give her whatever she wants. Like when going shopping, partying and holiday, the guy will pay and when broke, the guy will give u money. That she said is one of the reason why she is staying with the current bf. I said that any girl would want their bfs or husbands to give them that but to want so much is too demanding. Just as long as the bf or husband has a steady job and income then whatever u asked for is no prob. There is no need to really look for a high-flyer. She then said now one of her criteria of potential bf is that they got to have car. She said preferably European brands.. hahaha.. Silly girl. Cars are not important, the heart is more important. We may be outwardly materialistic but when we find someone with a good heart and humble life, we would still want it. And that is why after so many years, I still prefer my bf.

I have given up on bf to provide me with romance. I dunno why but Christmas seems to be like a very romantic and loving holiday. With the damp and cold weather and the bright lights against the dark sky, snuggling with loved ones is bliss. The gift of Christ from God to mankind as a show of immense love to us, is the underlying statement of the holiday. Thus giving of gifts is a show of love. But bf does not appreciate my feelings.

I decided to look for romance elsewhere!






In friends, books and myself. Friends can be romantic as well. Imagine walking and talking and reminiscing on a cool night down a street and enjoying each others company. An occasion that seldom comes by as we are all so busy with our own lives and career.

Books on romance is a solace to me. Even when there are no romance in real life, I can enjoy those on the pages. The heroes and heroines, with their adverturous and exciting life, challenging their love and relationship. It's true that problems can bring both parties closer if love can endure and pull them apart if love is not strong enough. Basic theory in life...

Being with myself lets me relax and do whatever I want. I do not have to think about pleasing others and what they think of me. I'm myself. A good time to let me know that I love myself and God loves me. A romance between God and me. The affirmation of His love to me and me striving to love Him as much.

Christmas is around whenever there are love and romance... Not just in December.

Sadness.. it's not easy for me to feel sad but I do. Do I crave too much, need too much, want too much? I just asked bf why he does not want to walk in the rain with me. He said he just don't feel like it. I asked why? He said it's bo liao. Then I said last time he used to do it. And not wanting to listen to him reply, I said yah I know, last time is last time, now is now. Then he said I'm mad. And I shut him out.

Mad? why mad? Is it mad to want to experience those times we had in the past? Why we can do it last time and not now? Are we still not the same person? Earlier, the first time I asked him why not we take a walk in the rain, he said he is tired and want to sleep. But I found out he is not tired enough to take a shower and sleep but to talk to his parents and squeeze pimples. Mad as in crazy.. I think I'm not but mad as in angry.. definitely.

I feel like walking in the rain now. The weather such that I want to be drenched with the soft cool rain and walk hand in hand with my loved one. I feel melancholy. Not sad, not precisely. Just resigned to the fact that I'm no longer a child and must give up childish things.. And the fact that good things are impossible to last.

Still I'm looking for someone to walk in the rain with me. Someone that gives me a chance to show my inner child. That understands my need to walk in the rain without saying I'm crazy. And to build boats out of paper and throw into the drain. And is willing to walk beside me. I won't ask him to but if he wants to share in my joy and delight in nature.. I'm glad. Maybe it is too much to ask for as we are all grown up and is more concerned about practical things like will the neighbours laugh at us or what if we catch a cold? And these are minor details that should not come in between my desire to experience the rain.

Maybe I do care a little about others opinion as I'm afraid to go under the rain myself. That's why I want someone with me, to walk with me and share in this lovely feeling. No I do not want to stroll under a thunderstorm but under a gentle rain and light breeze. And do not think that I only want to have my bf with me.. I want a loved one.. A friend or a family member. Just someone that appreciates this feeling.

Aiyah so sad.. my fave participant did not make it into the top 8 position so tomorrow don't have a chance to see him bowl. Anyway for those that are interested in knowing what he looked like just check out today's streats or see the pic below


He did so well today.. initially he was like in the top 20 but then he performed really well today and jumped to position 8. He even striked a perfect game (300 pins) but then his 9th game he did badly and thus he lost out to other bowlers. So sad. He looked like he wanted to cry when the results are announced. I wanted to congratulate him on his game but pai seh lah. Anyway I think I will still see him for the next few days.. cos all the bowlers are invited to the dinner on Sunday.

Hahah.. I feel so idiotic.. but being in such boring event, I need some motivation if not it will be boring.

p.s. I still love my bf.. this is just a crush.

Well.. Once again.. I'm at event site. As this is a international event, we have participants from all over the world. Over 96 countries and of course I'm just here beoing (looking) the guys and some of them are really cute. Like the one from Switzerland .. Dark hair and a cute smile.. Only 18 yrs old.. So young!! Another one is the guy from Jordan, very handsome.. Sharp and chisel features.. Dark hair too. I cant find any cute blondies leh.. Those guys from Scandinavian countries all not so good-looking.

Yesterday I just started my new module called Values and Culture and the funny thing is that the lecturer is teaching us about values and culture through literature.. Once again I am faced with works like The Tempest from Shakespeare and Kian Boon's fave author, Kazuo Ishiguro (Remains of the Day.. Remember guys???) But I find it quite interesting and definitely the lecturer is so much better then the previous old fogey. My lecturer has a funny way of laughing.. Like a "ha" or if he is really tickled.."Ha ha".. Not really the exact pronunciation of "ha Ha" but in the sense that his laughter is only one syllabus.

Arhghh... Anyway I know what I'm talking about can already. Yesterday I went for an interview as well and I can safely say that it went smoothly. The interviewer is a guy and I think he quite like me (I always say this don't I?) And he said he will let me know on Thursday. The reason why I think he quite like me is that he is very informal towards me.. Sometimes speaking in Singlish and asking me quite impertinent questions like.. "If I'm handling so much of the marketing job then what is my boss doing?" He asked me where I live and I said Taman Jurong, his reply is "Wah Biang, so far" With this answer, I think we can know what kind of character is he. Anyway he kept saying "if I am selected for the job".. When will I be able to join them.. And things like that.. I am not trying to take that as a hint but then he himself said that people looking for a job at this period is either desperate or don't mind their company's bonus (like me).

Ha.. Will let u know about the result of the interview tomorrow.

Again I am at the event site and today I am almost 20 minutes late!! I blame it on the stupid MRT system.. What world class transportation and efficient managing.. all BS!! This morning I was waiting for the MRT and being the peak hour around 750am-8am.. there are tons of people waiting for the train. And when I was waiting on the platform, I notice that the LCD Tv was showing that the next train is coming in 3 mins time. You might think that 3 mins is nothing but when the platform is already so crowded, 3 minutes later it would be worse. What's more, when the train arrived, it is very packed.. This tells us that

a) it is the peak hour
b) the time interval between each train is too long
c) They should increase the numbers of train during this time
d) I am only at the second MRT station on the line.. there would be no space for the commuters at the stations after mine!!!

What's more.. being a train, you have to stop at each station no matter how packed it is.. not like buses (they can go pass a bus-stop if no one rings the bell and when it is packed).. Thus the amount of time spend at a station for people to squeeze pass to exit and for people to squeeze in onto the train is far too long..

Anyway I do not know if I've explained in a clear manner.. but those that take MRT to work or school daily would know what I mean..

Now I am at the event site and am manning the press room. There are not much things to do and with no press coming in, I have even less things to do. I think for the next week or so I am going to be stuck here permanently.

Yesterday I was so tired and had such a bad headache that I needed to take some panadols before going to bed. When I told my bf that I was tired, instead of showing me some consideration and leaving me in peace and quiet, he talked even more. When I told him that he said that he was trying to entertain me if not it will be so boring. I then said that even to a most common friend, when they said that they are tired, you will show consideration by giving them so rest but how come to me you will not do it. In the end he said he also do not know why. But I do. Because we are so familiar with each other, we tend to be selfish. We only want to do what we want, we do not need to be"helpful" and "considerate". He wants to talk thus he continue talking, knowing that he can be himself. He need not be considerate as he does not need me to have a good opinion of him or to have a good image of him. The thing is.. this does not only happen to him but it happen to me as well.

Oh.. what a busy day! Have been rushing out things for next week company's big event. I hate it when last minute things happen especially when we are so short-handed and everyone is so uncooperative. I wish I can enjoy myself when it is so near to Christmas but with the coming big event and the start of my next module next week, I can't rest. I think I'm going to apply for tons of leave after next week.. but when I think of the coming Anniversary Celebrations for my company.. my heart sank. How to take leave when that event is so not confirm as well! The dates are not confirmed, the event venue is also not confirmed, the prices not confirmed and all the members are not informed! The best thing is that the event is next month!!!! Sigh.. dunno what to do..

I am glad that talent won over popularity (and the over-used winking and pointing pose)! Taufik really deserves to win as he has improved a lot and is really versatile. He can sing jazz, r&b, soul, pop and he can dance. However, Sly has a much better chance of being exposed to the world as he can sing mandarin songs and go into the Taiwan and China market. Anyway, both of them have their own good points and their own style so there are enough to go around. I hope Taufik would impress others in the World Idol...

AMERICAN IDOL IS COMING BACK AND I CANT WAIT!!!

Ahh.. finally a chance to update my blog. I am very busy clearing my work as I am going to be posted out for 1-2 weeks. Posted out but still in Singapore.. just to another outlet.

My bf and I went to look at some flats last Sat and yesterday.(No, Lor, he did not propose..) We looked through papers and called up the agent that is showing flats around Tamp area. She then arranged to meet us at a certain time and show us the flats. She then called us intermiddently throughout the day and inform us that she will be bringing us to another flat. In the end, on Sat itself we went to 5 flats overall. Then yesterday we went to another 4 flats. Wow.. it is such a tiring activity because we need to walk from one block to another. In the end, we prepare new flats because the price is lower and if we were to sell after 5 years, we might make a profit. The bad points about new flats is that the size is very small and we might not get the unit we want (we prefer higher storeys). We quite like one of the old flats because it is on the 14 floor and we can see a little bit of the ocean. We have a unblocked view of the area around us and it is very windy. However, it is quite noisy as it is near the bus-stop.

Anyway we are waiting to see if we are selected for the new flats then we can make a choice. Sigh.. the worst thing is that I don't think we have any money to renovate.. just have to DIY.

I seriously doubt QY's comment of how there might be many people reading my blog, just that I do not know it...

Firstly, I did not make it a public blog.. Thus it is not shown on blogger.com however it is available on the net. And I do not think that people will go around searching for a blog name like mine.. I only let my close friends know about this blog.

Secondly, I seldom broach controversial issues and my life is not exciting.. And my prose is not stimulating thus I have nothing to generate readers.

Thirdly, there are no posts left by anyone that I do not know. Thus proving that there is no one I do not know that reads my postings.

Fourthly, my blog is only linked to QY's blog. Which means only a small amount of people are aware of this blog.

Anyway the thought of someone that I do not know reading my postings made it a bit scary. Like there's someone that know your life intimately but you do not know that person. Seriously if I really do not want anyone to read about my life then I would not have an online diary right. The only thing I can do is to publish things that are personal but not that intimate, descriptions but not details and
pseudonyms and not real names. One thing I cannot change is pictures.. Those are the real... One thing I felt about bloggers is that they are a bit of a narcissus.. heh heh.. They want attention and they want people to know about them.. Sort of like a closet celebrity..

I know I know.. enough of Sesshoumaru already but I cant help it because he is just so handsome!!!!!! The handsomest and coolest and most powerful guy in the Inu Yasha anime... I love it when he gets angry.. his eyes will turn red but when he thinks of Rin (His human little girl) or gets distracted.. he will turn back to his handsome self. He want to be heartless but he can't help caring about some people.





Yesterday I watch the Inu Yasha series until 1plus in the morning. Thus this morning I decided to take a cab to work in order to get more sleep. And when I woke up the sky is very dark and I quickly take a shower and prepare to go to work. By the time I reach the road to wait for a cab, the rain poured down and even with my umbrella, I still got wet. What to do, I went back and change into a pair of shorts and stuff the skirt and an extra blouse into a bag. Then I went downstairs to brave the storm again. And clever me, I stayed under the shelter until the 2 person in front of me got into a cab. And bf called to say that he would come down to accompany me (I stayed over at his place last night and he's on exam leave). And I said there's no need as he might catch a cold which is not good as he is having exams soon. But he came down to accompany me (so sweet!).. and helped me to wave for a cab. And he helped me hold the umbrella to protect me from the rain and the wind. Hahahaa... I think he likes to get drenched lah..

And when I reach the office, I told my colleague that my jeans are so wet that they shrank into this pair of shorts.. she finds this hilarious.. glad I could provide her with some laughter..

This is Sesshomaru!! The most good looking character of the Inu Yasha anime series.

These are the pictures of the main characters.. U might think that they all look alike.. and you are right.. However, their character is very different.

20 Things that I'm Thankful for:

1. Jesus
For dying on the cross for me 2000 years ago and for saving me. This is the season where once again we remember His loving act.

2. My Family (Extended)
Sometimes we do take them for granted but in the end, they are the ones that share the same history and genetics as you. And some of them contribute to my fondest memories of childhood.

3. My BF
For the past 6 years we had together. From both of us in school until now where we are working adults.. For the fun and laughter as well as the anger and pain we shared and expressed.

4. My Health
And that I'm healthy and fit though I did not exercise much. Indeed wealth cannot replace health.

5. My Friends
I have a big group of friends and they are always there for me.. my sec sch friends, jc friends, church friends, mdis friends and etc. Some are close and some are closer. It's great to have such interesting bunch of friends.

6. My Work
That I have a job (although low paying) and nice colleagues.

7. My Country
That it is safe, clean and great to live in. There might be some minor inflections but overall it is a good place to be.

8. My Handphone
It is a pretty, fast and user-friendly phone that allows me to contact people at a touch of the finger. Can't function without it and feel so handicapped if left at home.

9. My Blog
A place for me to rant and rave and make sarcastic remarks at people that pissed me off. Luckily not much people read it thus I can write whatever I want. Heh heh.

10. For the Internet
Without internet, research would be endless trips to library and sleepless nights of flipping pages. Communication with oversea friends would tickled down to snail mail once a few months or an occasional phone call.

11. For Inu Yasha
A extremely entertaining anime series that have me and bf hooked. With interesting characters and exciting actions, can't go one day without it.

12. My office PC
It is a Pentium 4 with 1.82 Gig and 512 memory. May not mean anything to the computer geeks out there but it is the best the company can afford. Somemore this year we upgrade to an unlimited broadband internet access.. Great..

13. My Church
It may be big but we can still fellowship in the cell group. And the teachings that pastor gave us is more than what others could hope for.

14. Air Con
It helps relieve the heat when the weather is unrelenting. It is something that one can try to live without until one gets conditioned to the convinence of it.

15. Music
One thing that shuts out the talking on Mrt and the sound of TVmobile on buses.

16. Mp3 player
Links together to the point above. Can change music as and when I like, can listen underground and can put in more than 15 songs.

17. Digital cameras
Great way of capturing life's happy moments! Can retake again and again if not satisfied with the picture.

18. SMS
A quick and easy way to reach someone. To just say hi and tell them that you are thinking of them.

19. My appearance
I don't mean to be superficial but I'm generally satisfied with my looks. I'm not too skinny nor too fat. Not short nor tall. Averagely attractive. On good days, might reach quite attractive. Hahhaa

20. My intelligence
Thank God that I'm smart. That I am not easily duped. That I can do quite well for my current course. That I have high IQ and EQ. Hahhaa.. too bad I'm not that humble. But THIS is my list of things to be thankful for.

Ok.. back to the story of the Car Show.. anyway if there are no photos u all also wont be happy rite.. so I uploaded some pics of you guys to enjoy.. especially to Ed the Birthday Boy..



The pretty girl for Yamaha motorbike which a lot of "chee ko peks" took photos of.. including my bf!



Her not so pretty fellow model for Yamaha which my bf took pity on..



The no standards models from Toyota!!! Aiyoh.. what are they thinking of when they hire them?? Got stamps ah..



Another no standard model.. this one is from Suzuki.. if most like this then I can become model also ah...



Really pretty girl from Subaru.. this one then for standard and can really boost the image of the company and car!



This one too is from Subaru and see how much prettier they are from the Toyota and Suzuki models!!

We had a extremely long weekend as Hari Raya Pausa falls on last Sunday thus the following Monday is a Public Holiday. On Saturday afternoon, we went to the Motor Show at Suntec and spent $20! for the entrance tickets. Wow.. expensive man. Then to make use of the $20, we took lots of photos of the cars and the babes. Most of the cars are nice but not all the girls are nice. There are some that looked barely legal and some that looked just like any ordinary girl on the street except they are wearing ultra mini skirts and shorts. There was this girl that looked so kawaii that all the time there was a bunch of guys surrounding her taking pictures. Of course bf also took pics.. and i stood at the side mumbling chee ko peks at all the guys.. Then bf decided to be generous and wanted to take pic of the average looking fellow model of the kawaii girl but I told him not to as not to waste memory.. ahaha.. wicked me..

Ahh.. am going for my yoga class now.. to be continue..

These few days I kept having colossal quarrels with bf, I just could not work through some issues with him. The initial argument left me so tired and weak that during my bath, I just want to melt into the water that is draining away. I want to throw in the towel and say: "I give up, I have no will, we will do whatever you want. Just stop with the nonsense." But I didn't, my stubborn pride refuses to give in. I want him to be on my side, to support me, to agree with me and to be a team together. And not valuing others views above mine, not asking me to be more tolerant and forgiving, be undecided about certain issues and be complacent about our relationship.

It's tough to be in a relationship. Some may say being a couple is bliss, you will always have someone with you whenever you need. It's two against the world. But being a couple means different views, ideas, impressions, thoughts, action and behaviour. The Bible says in Matt 18:19: "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven." We think it is so easy to achieve agreement but when both parties are stubborn and has communications problem then agreement is difficult to achieve.

He said I am dictative and I don't let him have a choice. But when the other party is indecisive, someone has to make the decision right. I have a logical mind, I will think of the best and shortest way to achieve the best results. So when I make a decision, I would think it is the best. And when he don't like it, he would not give me a reason why, he would just say:"You always want to get your way." I already told him, if he thinks another method is better, then he got to convince me. I am not disagreeable, just that I want to know why my method is not good enough. Communication problems? Hell, yes! Even choosing a route to go home also leads to huge arguments.

The longer we are together, the easier for us to throw our temper. Because we know that no matter how we behave, we would not give up the 6 years we had together. And many times, after an argument, we went back to normal, not solving the problem or apologizing to one another. Thus the issues remain. Is it worth it? We had given each other so much.. Time, love, money, support, encouragement, body and soul. I do not know what would happen the next time an argument arise....

What Makes A Man Attractive?

1) His giving manner especially to women around him (however not a pushover)
2) His treatment of his mum
3) His confidence
4) His intelligence
5) His clean and neat appearance
6) His scent
7) His large capable hands that can soothe, massage, hold, caress and pet his loved ones
8) His vulnerability
9) His sense of humour
10) His reluctance to become someone more than just a friend
11) His protective instinct

Cant think of anything else.. Anyone care to add more?

Am into Inu Yasha anime right now.. all becos of Lor lah.. always talking anime in her blog.. and also me and bf happened to see the cartoon in one of those VCDs shop. Thus am trying to download the series.. only to realise that there are 100++ series.. arghh... going to faint!



The guys in the picture is very cute!!!! but a bit gayish lah..


Oh my goodness.. this pic is so sexy!!! Look at his expression.. wow.. if a guy look at me like that sure I'll melt

I'm so sad! Bush has won the election!! Seriously what are the Americans doing.. Do they know they had placed a inarticulate, blumbing, low-IQ & EQ, easily controlled and clueless red-neck as the highest power in the most influential country in our time? Maybe the majority identify themselves with Bush thus they voted for him. I think that's most likely. Not that I want to curse the Americans but I think Osama is not happy with the results and when Osama is not happy, look out! Somemore in his video, he clearly mocked Bush for spending the 7 minutes reading a story about a Goat to a bunch of kids while the WTC is being crashed. The bloody and seemingly endless war in Iraq has been taking a toll on all the countries with at least one hostage being kidnapped or killed in a week. Now the fight in Iraq is not just between "omnipotent" US and the Insurgents but US allies, US and the confused, angry citizens of Iraq.

I think the citizens around the world should be allowed to vote for the President of the United States. As many of our economic and security issues is related and affected by US policies, thus we should be given a chance to dictate the future of the world by voting.

Anyway I lost a bet with my colleague over the election and I owe her $10.00.

For the past weekend, my bf and me had been discussing about getting a flat. Of course, arguments are inevitable. Me being a westerner (Jurong) and he being an easterner (Tampines) is already a great cause of discontentment. I really want to stay in the west side and he cant leave the east area. Staying in the middle of Singapore is just too expensive for us.
Initially, we thought of getting a flat in Punggol because that's where all the new flats are. (Right away, he dismissed Jurong West because there are just too many leftover and unoccupied units) Then recently there is a balloting exercise for a new spat of flats in some of the mature estates and he is interested. We went to the website and saw some of the flats that looked interesting. I told him that the Bedok flats are quite nice because it is near the MRT and it is near his parent's place. He then said that it is far away from the MRT and that it is too expensive.
After that incident, we met up with some new CG friends and 2 of them is a newly ROM couple. Then we asked them about their new house and they said that bought it at only ard $160k and it is a 5-rm. However, it is located at Jurong West. Bf then became really interested in flats in JW. And he was saying how the flats there are not bad and things like that. However, when he mentioned it to his dad, his dad is against it. He said that there is no resale value and that it's difficult for the siblings to take care of one another. And he's a strong advocate for the Bedok flats. Of course, bf then came to me and said that JW flats not good and that he is interested in Bedok flats. I then became very pissed with him. I told him that he is easily swayed by others’ opinion and that he has no idea of his own. And I told him that he values others opinion more than mine. Thus I'm pissed at him.
I also dislike the way his parents interfere in our affairs. Not that I mind their suggestions but I dislike the way his father always dismiss some of my opinions. I said that if I were to get a new 4-rm flat, I would want to knock down one wall so that my bedroom would be bigger. Then he said it is too expensive to knock down a wall and if we were to sell it, we would need to patch it up. Then I said that I like for the 2 of us to be in the same room at the same time, eg. I can be reading my books and he can be playing his computer games. His father then said, there’s no need for us to be in the same room, what if we quarrel over the volume of the computer games and that it is better to be in different rooms. When I heard that, I got angry. He then said that it is not good to buy resale flats because it is too old. But then bf’s younger bro also bought a resale flat what. In the end, I told bf that as long as we buy a place that is near his parent’s place, then his father would be happy already.
Then I told bf that I do not want to be too near his parents’ place because we might not have much privacy. His parents might just decide to pop over as and when they like. And we have to constantly be on our toes when we are doing something intimate. It’s like even when we are in our own homes, we can’t relax and do what we like. Then what’s the point? Worse is most probably we will pass them a set of house keys thus they can come over anytime. Sigh. Luckily my parents are not interfering in this matter, if not WWII. My father even said it’s better to be close to bf’s parents’ place so that his mum can take care of our children. See how magnanimous he is!

My poor bf failed his driving test yesterday. He got 32 demerit points and he needed less than 20 demerit points to pass. His circuit was done quite well but when he got onto the open roads then he got prob. He is suppose to go from 3rd gear to the 4th gear when travelling but he said since he already reached 50km/h in 3rd gear thus there is no need to change to 4th gear. And that's where the tester penalise him. For that mistake he got 18 demerit points. Aiyoh.. if he just switch the gear then he would have passed the driving already!! Nevermind lah.. his next test would be in early Jan. Just pray for him from now till then lah.

So yesterday I went down to Starhub to change my new HP. After explaining to the Customer Service guy, he took my phone to the technician and check for the noise. However, after a few minutes he came back saying that they cant detect anything. But when he passed the phone to me, I can still hear vaguely (cos the place quite noisy) the hissing sound. I then told him what I heard and he said that he cannot hear it. Then he said he will give me the benefit of the doubt (cos I'm so pretty mah) and he asked me to wait for about 15 minutes cos he needs to do the paperwork. And when he passed the new phone to me and I test it on the spot, still I find that there is a slight disturbance. He then told me that I can only do the exchange once and after that if there is any problems I need to look for Sony Ericsson.

Sadly, when I test the phone again, I can still hear it. As I do not have the same phone to compare so I'm not sure if others is the same. Then bf told me to send it in to SE for repair. Which I think I might do that sometime this week. Sigh.. Not going to give up until my phone is ok!!!!!!

I'm so sad!! I just bought a new Sony Ericsson K700I handphone and it has got an irritating problem. Whenever I make a call or somebody calls me, there would be a hissing sound in the background. Like it is raining in the background or like cars passing by.. very loud and noticeable!! I check through the forum of Sony Ericsson users and nobody has this prob. I also called up the SE service centre and the operator also cant help me.. Arghh.... Am going down to Starhub and get an one to one exchange!! Confirm manufacturers' defect problem ah..

Ok.. Yesterday I mentioned that I had a disgusting classmate in my last module right.. His name is Shafiq (not pai seh to name him as not much ppl look at my blog anyway). Well it's pretty obvious he is a Malay and a local but he speaks like he was born in UK. He speaks with a bloody fake British accent and "like he has a dick in his mouth".. The quote was contributed by my other classmate.

And on the first day, whatever the lecturer asked, he would answer until I got so annoyed that I would quickly answer the lecturer's question before he can. The stupid lecturer even said that he is going to be a A plus student as he can answer all her questions. Hello??? It's not that we don't know the answer.. It's just that we are a laidback and reserved kind of ppl. Then after that the stupid faggot told us it's because the lecturer kept looking at him for answers thus he volunteered. Yah right.. As if you can read minds.. Maybe it's because she wanted you to shut up and stop making a nuisance of yourself.

Then on one of the Fri evening, the class was to meet at the Singapore Art Museum for a walk through. He came wearing a tight tee shirt and a loose 3/4 pants. The loose pants was deliberately belted way below his belly so that he could show off his disgusting off-white "branded" briefs underwear!!!!! Wah lao!!!! One look and I almost puked.. Which guy in the right mind in Spore would wear something like that...?? Unless you are a faggot lah.. And when I was telling some of my other classmates about his vomit-inducing outfit, one of them even commented that the brand of the underwear is Renoma.. I was like EEwww... You got so close to him to see the name of the underwear... Yucks..

Then next day, we had an excursion with the class and once again he wore his infamous "from offwhite to now greyish white" underwear and loose 3/4 pubic showing pants. Oh for goodness sake, please spare us the horror!! I'm going to ban the brand of Renoma from now on and to stop my brothers, father and bf from wearing any Renoma briefs. Then for the next few days, we observed that he don't fast although he is a Muslim (I think) and he smokes. And he frequents gay pubs (confirmed FAGGOT!!)..

AND ONE MORE THING TO SHOCK YOU... HE IS A PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER!!!!!

Yeah!!!! Finally my class is over.. It's been a tough module because there are a lot of projects and homework to be done and the lecturer is a absent-minded 70 year old lady. Not that I'm discriminating against the old folks but she is really "torok"!!!!! She is actually retired but the university think that she can still teach thus they send her to Singapore (well if she can still teach then why not let her stay in US?)

The problem with her is that she does not express herself well. She can talk halfway and forget what she is talking about. She has a real problem remembering the names of the artist that she is talking about. She can even forget who had handed up their project and who had not. Thus she is always accusing one poor classmate of mine that she had not passed up her project when in fact she did so earlier. Then she would check back on her messy and notes-ridden namelist and apologize to that classmate cos she saw the wrong name.

Scary right.. What if she were to mark your paper and jote down your score on some else's name.. And worse still forget she had marked your paper and list you down as absent. Hello this is $1050 we are talking about... If you were to fail the exam, that is the price of remoduling the class. The notes she gave us on the kind of projects/homework she wants is not clear and when we clarify with her, she would give us a vague remark and make us even more blur. Sometimes what she said varies from day to day thus some of my classmates have a certain idea about a project while another have a different understanding. And she had given us almost 5 different projects to do in addition to the exam that is to be handed in 1 month later!!!!! She think we are full time student issit???

This is the worst lecturer ever!!! I was actually looking forward to this module because it is so interesting (Arts & Our World).. But after the first day... I cant wait for the whole thing to be over...

She might be somebody's nice, funny and interesting grandmother but she makes a terrible lecturer!! I pity the next module.

Ok.. Will tell you all more about one disgusting classmate we had for this module tomorrow..

Which File Extension are You?

Yesterday I went for an interview at my bro's working place. This is the second time the company advertise for the position and I applied both times however my letter got lost during the first time. I reached the place 15 minutes before the actual timing and no one is in the office!! My bro even called me the day before to tell me to go there 15 mins earlier to fill up the forms but no one was there. The idiotic thing is that the person that called me never tell me which level to go to and I got off the wrong floor and was viewed and asked suspiciously by a old fogey. As if I'm there to steal your bloody company secrets. Don't let me see you again, you crusty short anemic old man.

Anyway finally I reached the correct dept and was sitting in the reception waiting for their punctual staff to come in. Punctual means punctual.. Not early and not late. Then while waiting in the reception, I saw a pile of job application forms under the table and I took one to fill in. I was curious how come they can just leave a pile of the job application forms under the table. As if anyone sitting at the reception can at the same time fill in the form while waiting for someone. While I was filling in my form halfway, another girl came in. She is also here for an interview. I then looked at her attire and I think I'm overdressed. She is wearing a long sleeve shirt and a pair of dark pants and I'm wearing a skirt suit (which I've wore for all interviews). Then another 10 mins later, another girl came in.. Another interviewee.. And she is also wearing just shirt and pants. Then another 5 mins later, another girl came in, another interviewee.. I think this one is wearing a suit. Cant rem much about the last girl except she FORGOT to bring a pen to an interview!!!! Huh?? Quite basic right.. If not how to fill in the forms? The girl then asked one of the staff to lend her a pen.. And the staff she approached is one of the interviewers.. hahaha...

When I finished the form, I walked across a long corridor to pass the form to the junior staff and she said to keep it with me until she asked for it!!!!!!!!! Idiot!!!!!!! Why don't say earlier.. People with common sense know that when they finished the form, they are supposed to pass it to the staff what!!!!!!!! Make me walk here and there in front of some many people.

Then I sat at the somewhat crowded reception and try to read a magazine. After another 10 minutes.. I waited for almost an hour for the bloody interview.. They asked me to come in. Of course all the 3 interviewer knew that I'm their colleague's sis and they looked amused. They asked me since I applied for this job, sure I will ask my bro what the company is like and why do I still want to work here. I said me and my bro did not talk much about work somemore he is not staying with me now so when I saw the ad, I just told him I'm applying for it and he said ok. Then one of the ladies said she thought my bro is oppose initially. I said yes, because he said I will make him "lose face" so he do not want me to be here. But I dun care. The interviewers then laughed and said I will be the one to "lose face" instead of him. I think that means that his reputation there is not so good... heehee... Then they asked about my strength and weakness. I then said my strength is able to learn new things, creative, can deal well with people and something (I forgot).. Then my weakness is that I tend to look at the overall picture and forget some minor details and that I quite 'bo chap'.. Then they said 'bo chap' about what? Being "bo chap" is quite serious if it is being 'bo chap' about work and job. I then said no but 'bo chap' about office politics.. Then they asked me how many people are there in my dept and I said only me and my manager. And then they asked if so then how to have politics then I said with other colleagues lor. Then they asked if this is a strength or weakness.. I said that my colleague said that it is a weakness.

After the whole interview, I asked my brother to ask them when will I know the result and they said in 2 weeks time. And he said that they told him I'm not the best candidate but is the back up. Then I said that how come they can just tell you like that and he said of course because one of the interviewer might just become my sis-in-law if circumstances allow. Heehee.. So thick skin.. Just like me.. Ok lah.. Let's wait for the good/bad news..

I must share this poem with you all and dedicate it to all my dear friends

Sweetheart, I wish you kitty cats and puppy dogs, slimy things and wet toad frogs.

April Fools and little bear’s porage, crumpets and tea, and a princess’s carriage.

A pumpkin patch and eggs that hatch, falling stars and men on mars.

Autumn leaves and Charlottes web, kisses and lullabies when you’re tucked in bed.

Meadows for running and winds through your hair, a tricycle with a basket for your blankie and bear.

Candy canes and Christmas time, pretty songs and moon lit nights.

Horse drawn rides in the park, afternoon naps and midnight walks.

London chocolates and candied apples, FAO Schwartz and sheets for forts.

Snow flakes falling on your tongue, and M&M’s to eat one by one.

Daffodils and rainbows, ballet slippers and pretty bows.

Sand castles and butterflies, apricots and adoring eyes.

Hot summers and swimming pools, brain freezes and no school.

Strawberries and guitar picking, water balloon fights and little girls skipping.

Porch swings, and horse back rides, sunsets and ocean tides.

Deep puddles, sweet rain, hot cookies and indoor games.

Sleep overs and pillows fights, sleeping bags and flash lights.

A hand to hold, and love to grow, a clear lake and a boat to row.

Towering timbers and a quill to write, your thousand poems under the lights of night.

Fire in the hearth and fire in the heart, chances, and luck, and the peace of God.

Dig in the dirt and swim in the sea, run in the park and climb the trees.

Read your books, and fall in love, kneel at night and thank God above.

For jump ropes, hop scotch, hide and seek and your it.

Pick flowers and make bouquets, dream your dreams and glide away

On Orion’s belt and Saturn’s rings, which are all yours anytime you need.

But you must know, that wishes alone cannot will, a heart fulfilled.

So look on Him, who knows your name, I prayed He’d find you the day you came.

Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

The best laid plans of mice and men will always go astray, and on that day,

Throw out the dishes and make more time, for drawn out kisses and sweet red wine.

Stay up late, laugh with friends, it really will work out in the end.

Know I love you and always will, life’s a mixture of pains and thrills.

But I wish you big hugs and wine country, shopping sprees and pageantry.

Brilliant professors, and education's treasures, a chapel in the woods and the will to go there.

Picnics and best friends, two stepping and love to lend.

Fine cuisine and crème blue, Vienna at night and Paris by day.

The Champs Elysees and champagne, a coffee shop window to watch the rain.

Long train rides through the white back hills of Austria and a warm cabin car with someone to hold ya.

Spiritual hikes through misty mountains, and the courage to dance in Rome’s fountains.

Hagan Daz and viener schnitzel, a melody in your heart and words to whistle.

Novels to read through the brisk winter and Ice Skating with loved ones at Rockefeller center.

Room service at The Plaza with views of Central Park, bubbles in your bath, and museums full of art.

The philharmonic and symphonies, Bloomingdale’s and Tiffany’s.

Motorcycles and Limousines, simplicity and finer things.

Back street bars and Smokey halls, philosophers and flowers on walls.

But most of all I wish you love, a heat, a fire that burns hotter than passion, a love for which there is no expression.

Love is a cottage in a Holy Land, a labrynth difficult to understand.

But may it come by way of a Romeo beneath your window, to lift your
head from millions of pillows.

With sonnets and soliloquy, poems and serenades, eyes and words that will melt you every day.

A once in a lifetime romance, a love to last, causing your heart to leap and dance.

Sailing and seashells, pink clouds and church bells.

A honeymoon with rose petals, wedding gifts and copper kettles.

Barefoot walks on sandy shores with someone to hold you come rich or poor.

A home to build and holly to dangle over the window through which seasons entangle.

Displaying their transience and disloyalty, and for the hearts that love them, always tragedy.

But I wish to redeem the gypsy year, the seasons that come and go and leave us in tears.

If I could wish but one come true, I would wish for every budding flower, and sun ray, every crimson leaf and snowflake to be a voice that never ceases to tell, how much I love you.

Today am starting my class again.. This time round it's about Art & Our World. The module teaches us how to recognise and appreciate art. What kind of art and how to critic it. I guess that is what the course is about because today I read a few chapters of a book that the lecturer asked us to buy. I think it is a really interesting topic but I do not like to the book layout because there are too many words and not enough pictures to illustrate. Although the author did put down the website that we can go to view the example. But.. Huh.. U think I got so much time to keep typing out obscure webpages to look at your one picture. Some more there is not only one example... By the time I finish typing all the webpages, I can finish one chapter of the book.

Did I mentioned that on Monday morning I went for another interview.. I guess not. It is a watch dealer company and has bases in a few Asian countries. So I went down to the place and was asked to fill in the job application form. There is another candidate in the waiting area and he is a plumb youngish looking guy. Oh.. I arrive again at the place 20 minutes earlier than my appointment. The guy went in first and when he came out and was leaving the office, he twisted his feet on a curb at the exit of the door and almost fell. I feel sorry for him.. dunno why.. He looks funny I guess. Anyway I reminded myself not to trip in the curb later. Then a lady (auntie lah) asked me to go in. Her impatient tone asked me to go through the door in front of me.. And she repeated twice.. As if I stupid or deaf. The interview was a quick one, there are two person in the room but only one is asking questions. But stupid questions.. Can you imagine the person asking me " What are your working hours?" and "Do you leave on time?" Huh??? What do u mean? Are you trying to find out if I am the type of person to stay back and clear work? So if I leave on time, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Anyway I said that sometimes I have to stay back because of my events. He seems satisfied with that. Ah..Another question that made me scratch my head..."How many members are there in your club?" Hello??? Are you buying the membership or are u a member? What has that got to do with the interview??? Somemore can ask me where is the club located at.. Is the interviewer stupid or wat??? Anyway the other girl just sit down there trying to look sexy and interested with a "You are too far beneath me for me to pay any attention to you" look. Don't know how she achieve the interested and "You are too far beneath me for me to pay any attention to you" look but that is what I felt. Or maybe she is just too dumb to look like anything and I just dun like her face. In the end, the stupid interviewer said thank you and we will contact you again if you are selected for the second interview. Huh.. What?? Never even asked me if I have got any questions for you?? You think everybody is fighting to work in the company issit?? Your time so precious that cannot have another 5 minutes for me to ask questions?? You think I will want to work in a company that is so inconsiderate to potential employees??? WTH...

Tomboy

What kind of little girl were YOU?


This is so true.. I used to climb into drains to catch fish.. if not I'll climb trees or catch tadpoles.. I don't remember having a lot of toys cos I always had my cousins to play with me!!

Hey.. After some MORE comments by my frens about my blog, I decided to change the font size from 7 (not 6 ok) to size 10. So as to let people with poor eyesight read the post better and with less squinting. And I have added a survey at the bottom of the sidebar so please let me know what is your preference. Hmm... Yesterday had a hard time changing the font and adding the survey. Almost lost all the template because the website hanged while saving the data. Anyway thanks to the computer skills given to me by my expert bf, I managed to retrieve it.

I've got another interview this coming Monday. Yesterday I receive the call from the company and as it is a unknown number, I decided to say "hello" in a nice tone. I have been anticipating such calls since I sent out some resumes earlier this week. Haha.. The lady on the phone sounds nice and she even asked me what is my dialect.. I think she's curious about my surname.. Thank God for my surname. It breaks ice.. Anyway to cut it short, she asked me to come down for interview on Monday morning thus I have to take half day leave.. lala..

Another good news (or bad news.. Not sure at the moment).. I spoke to my GM yesterday because my manager was saying that they want to give me an additional portfolio. As I was not sure what my manager was talking about and since I know his pattern (quite biased) so I sought out my GM and asked him what's going on.. He then said that my HQ wants to steamlined the whole Marketing Dept and that they want me to go and work over at HQ. And that I will be handling my current jobscope as well as some other stuff over there. And then he said that if I want to stay here then he will give me some other portfolio and responsibilities and convince them that I am needed here. He said that next time all of us here might have to work on a shift basis and that he might be sending me to the frontline (service staff). Then he said that of course if I were to go over to HQ, it will looked better on my resume and that from there I can go further with the experience. But the bad point is that my GM told me that my Chairman felt that Marketing Dept is a waste of money, a cost center and is unsure how long it will be there. (Seriously, I think Marketing Dept is a necessary evil, no matter how much you think it is a cost center, you still need one) He also said if I like to stay here then I will be given more jobs and that I'll handle more stuff. But it would not look so good on the resume and somemore the lease here is ending soon. He said that he always encourage the junior staff to go off after a few years here because that is the way they can climb the corporate ladder.

After the discussion, he said that I can think and pray about this for about a month because after that he would have to submit a proposal to the management. Then before I left his office, he said God bless you. I was shocked and surprised and then I laughed.

heh heh.. My bf passed me his cheap camera for use last Mon and yesterday I brought it to the office. At the end of the day, as I was quite bored so I took it out to snap pictures of my colleagues. Some of them posed quite readily for me while others need some coaxing. But one refused to let me take her photo. She said that she do not like to take photo.. Yah right.. I've seen you let others take photo of you.. Just want to "act cool" and give me an attitude only. Even after much asking, she still don't want to give me a full shot. So I just take her photo as she is.. Hmm... Am posting it up here for all to see.. Actually the photos is for my own collection to remember by but because of her irritating action, I'm going to post her ugly photo here!!!!!!!!! Think you are a star issit.. Huh.. Think the paparazzi is chasing after you huh.. Big fat hope ah.. Ok am not going to be so mean and OBVIOUS.. Am going to put other photos of my colleagues as well..

My office is so noisy now.. One of the foreign worker is demanding for more pay. There was a day where a senior foreign worker asked him to work during his lunch break as the other foreign worker is on leave. The head of department then did not write on his punch card that he is working extra hours. Thus his that hour pay is forfeited. So here's where the problem lies.. The head do not care much about the worker. Anyway I already condemned the head long ago.. Unless necessary if not I will not talk to her.

Sometimes I wonder why people just like to take on others' care and responsibilities? One of my colleague admire her boss so much that she almost worship him. She cannot bear for anyone to say anything bad about the boss though he dun care much about it. Whatever tasks or job he give to her, she will willingly take and do. And this made her stayed back in the office until 8pm everyday. One good example is that one of her ex-colleague is getting married and she is debating on whether she should go. So when I asked her what is the reason from stopping her from attending, she said that she want to stay back in the office and clear her work. Then I said that is her ex-colleague wedding more important or is her work more important? Then she can say loudly that nothing in the world is more important than her work. At this point, I said that might as well she dun go home and stay in the office permanently to do her work. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to talk her out of it and to ask her to go home early. Waste of time...

Ok..for those that commented on the layout of my blog yesterday.. U know who u are. Is it better now? Do you still need to scroll sideways to read the post? And PLEASE leave some comments so that I know!!! Sigh.. dunno what's so difficult about posting comments. If you dun have a account then just leave it as anonymous but put your name after the note lah. If not I still have a tagboard what!!!

Yesterday evening was badgered by my JC friend to watch this French movie called Les Choristes, translated as Chorus Singers. It talks about how a teacher went to teach in a less privileged Boys' School that is headed by an evil, tyrannical principal. Of course the students under his care rebelled against the system. His motto is "Action - Reaction". For any mistakes the students made, there will be a equally or worse punishment. But the teacher came along and with compassion, love and care, changed the school. He taught them how to sing and in the process, found a talented young boy with a pure, beautiful voice and give him a headstart to a long successful career in music. A really touching story that I felt was too abrupt and short in the end. But it was good.

Yesterday I found myself thinking of a question when I saw this old man that looked like what bf will be 30 years from now. The question is " Ni Hui Bu Hui Ai Wo Dao Lao?" - translation "Will you love me forever?" or "Will you love me till we're old?" Why I'm thinking of this question.. I'm not sure except whether will I be with bf when we are antique and forgotten by the world. Then the pun of "Lao" caught my attention because it means both forever and old.

Then I was contemplating on whether should I ask my bf this because he tends to be flippant when faced with sentimental or thought-provoking question. Finally, during dessert I asked him. He then said he don't know and said that he is being truthful. Then he changed the topic and said that our CGL during one of their bible study told bf that he should love God above all things, above me, money, job, family and friends. He then told his CGL that this is something difficult to achieve and my CGL was shocked at his remark. Anyway I asked him why he is not sure, I said that he can be sure to love and support his parents till they are old and why can't he be sure on whether he will love me till forever. Then finally (reluctantly?), he said yes he think he will. A small paltry offering of romantic affirmation.

Sigh.. been thousands of years since the last time he said the 3 words without prompting from me.

Still have not heard from the telcom company on whether I'm selected for the position. I'm giving myself this week to pray, hope and wait for The CALL. I think the interviewer is not impressed by me although I'm wearing a suit.. Next time am not going to wear so formal to interview.

Am having a stomache now. Thinking I might be having PMS cos my temper and patience not too good these days. Yday I snap at a colleague of mine cos she kept doubting me and my colleagues' words. She asked us if we saw the correct person at the driving range and my colleague said yes. However she kept asking so I said, No, what we saw is the ghost of the person. Then she said, Dun like that cos she is surprised to know that the person is still in the club. Then I said, Does she think that we are the kind of person to anyhow make up stories to smear the person's name? Then she said, No lah she is just shocked to know that the person stayed until so late. Afterwards, I felt ashamed of speaking like that to her. I know that she is the kind of person that would tend to ask a lot of questions so I should have been more patient with her. Sigh.. Anyway it's over.. Just hope that my mood gets better.

Am so sian.. Yesterday is Mid-Autumn Festival but I did not spent it with anyone.. My bf went for his driving lessons and I stayed back in the office to do work. And my friends decided to meet some other time instead of the supposed yday nite. IDIOT!!!!!! So yday spend it with laksa, mtv and my mum...

Yesterday interview was alright. I did not do particularly well nor do I screw up. The interviewer was quite friendly and Thank God there is only one interviewer.

I arrived early at the place and as I do not want to be kiasu so I waited at the bus stop for a while before going into the building. The receptionist then gave me the form to fill out and after that I waited at the area for at least 15 minutes and during that time I was watching the television programs that was shown in the reception. There was a guy which was there for an interview as well. The reason I know is that he was as formally dressed as me and he too filled out a form and waited for his turn. But I don't think we applied for the same position anyway. The people there dressed in T-shirt and jeans and the 2 of us stuck out like sore thumbs.

Finally I was called to go up for the interview. In the lift, I made a last prayer for peace and wisdom. The Human Resource girl led me to a office and introduce me to the interviewer. We sat down and the lady's first question was "You have a unique surname, are there many in Spore", which of course I said "No, only my immediate family"...

Hahah... Great ice breaker.. The lady then said that it is not going to be formal kind of interview and that she would like to know more about what I'm doing currently. One funny thing is in one of the column I put "incompatibility with the job" as the reason why I left my first company. She then asked me what I meant. I explained that as an Account Executive in an events company in my first job was very tough as I did not know and do not have enough experience to deal with the clients. So I left the job before I can do any serious damage to the company. Then she asked me why I left it blank in the same column for my current company, then I said I am not leaving yet wat, then she said but I am planning to. Then I was like yah hor.. Then I told her why I want to leave the current job. She must be thinking I'm a goondu. hahah dunno how to filled out a job application form.

She also asked me if I had any experience in handling IT for marketing purposes. I said in my current job, the only IT experience is mass emailing and some design software. Then I said I do not know what she meant by IT application in her ad. She said like knowing how to use IT to better or cut short certain paper work or action. I said I have no experience in this but I'm good with technology and I find it interesting and would like learn more abt it. I hope this answer satisfy her if not then gone liao... I do not have one of the prerequitise in the job ad!!!!

Well.. The rest of the interview was ok but I said some bullshit for one question "why did I choose to work in my current company?".. I said because they are a big recreational company and I like to bowl. Also being in this company allows me to learn how to deal with public and members. But in actual fact, I joined because I'm looking for a job and that they wanted me.. And not for the reasons stated above.. As if then I had a choice of which company I want to join.

At the end, I asked her when will I know the result, she said pretty soon as this is her last round of interview. With that sentence, my heart sank cos it means that she had interviewed quite a number of ppl. Which means I have less chance of being chosen. Sigh.. She said the chosen one would be contacted and those not chosen would not.. Well let's wait and see if we hear from them...

Am feeling anxieties for the past few days over my interview with the telecom company tomorrow. Have been printing out advice and articles on interviewing techniques and behaviours before, during and after interviews. Had a dream on Tuesday night about it and in the dream I was rejected because I wore too much jewellery to the interview. The interviewer criticise me and said that I am a show off for wearing so much diamond jewellery and that most probably all is fake. Then I asked my CG mates on the proper attire to wear to the interview and they said suit, which I do not have. So yesterday, I went shopping for one. And I found one that is reasonably priced (still too ex for me) and Thank God, bf paid for it. I did not ask him to but he volunteered.. hehe.. The jacket and the skirt set him back around $120.00. Wahh... just for a bloody interview.. But if I can get in because of it then it is for a good cause.

I also took 3 hrs time off tom for this interview and yesterday night I was rehearsing the possible questions that they might ask tom. Today am going back to think of some questions to ask them. I am not sure why I am so excited and anxious about this interview.. maybe cos I like the company, the job scope, the name of the position and the salary.
But in my heart, I’m afraid I won’t be able to perform in this new company. I don’t think I’m that capable. Maybe I’m more suitable in a small company where there are less stress and less work. I’m quite a bo chap person, I tend to do the simplest things first and have no drive (I think). I don’t aspire to be the best, the top or the most ambitious. I only do the tasks to the best of my abilities. I am not a good sales person although I can communicate very well. I dislike chasing for something or someone. My colleague said that I’m bo chap (in terms of criticism, politics), helpful and can do better in my work (just that I’m lazy or bo chap to do it).

Anyway will update all about tom’s interview.

Wow.. I've just ate one fantastic bread called Mexicans Bun from Roti Boy. The company is based in Malaysia and now they have one outlet in Singapore at China Square. It is really something different and as the slogan says "One is never enough... buns to die for!" It has a crispy shell covering the top layer of the bun and one bite you can feel the shell collasping under the slightest pressure. When the coffee and butter aroma is in the air, it attracts people like bees to honey. The bread is soft and light, and it melts in your mouth. In the middle of the bread, butter was spread liberally and when the bread comes out warm from the oven, the melted butter simply entice you to take a big bite.. Mmm....

The Camera Story

BF just bought this camera for $220.00.. cheap right!! The camera is no longer in production and it came out in 2001 and it cost $1300 then. The size of the pic is 4.1 Mega and it has 3x zoom. His brother got it at this fantastic price cos their company is clearing stock. He even got bf 2 x 128m Sony memory card and a extra battery. This is really God's blessing. Where to get such good deal?

When we were sharing testimony in CG this week, bf was saying that he bought the camera for me. Then the CGL said then I should be the one saying the testimony and I replied that becos bf has not officially hand over the camera to me so I cannot share.. And I said I will share again next week.

But then when I went over to his place, he was teaching his parents how to use the new camera. I was irritated? Sad? Disappointed? Jealous? Unhappy?.. I dunno what I feel.. I thought the camera is only for me to use.. Like it is mine!! Not shared with others. Like your mother bought for you a toy you asked for, only to informed the rest of your siblings that the toy is to be shared.. Not special anymore wat. It is not solely for me. And it is not MINE.. But bf's family's camera?? Not that I cannot share but bf shouldn't had said he bought it for me if he wants to share it with the entire family.. hmm.. Am I expressing myself well here..

Ok. If bf pass the camera to me and said that it is mine and that his parents want to borrow it for use. I'm ok with lending it to them. But I'm unhappy when he said he bought it for me, then told the parents that they can use it as well. That means the camera's owner is not me but it is the family's camera. He then said I shouldn't be selfish and that I should share with others.. I then told him how I feel.. And he said " You did not want it at first wat cos you said it is too big so I pass it to my parents." Then dun say to others you bought it for me!!!!!!!! >_<

I had a painful night yesterday. I decided to remove some of my hair from my unmentionables... And it is so bloody painful. I almost cried and gave up halfway but when I think of how funny it looked, I tahan the pain and proceeded on..

I bought the hair removal wax last week and it is my first time. Normally I will shave but the hair grew back very quickly so I wanted to try out waxing. I went to the toilet and prepare everything.. The baby oil, the wax and instruction manual. Then I warmed up the wax and placed it on the hair and read thru the manual once again. Then I removed the wax slowly but nothing came out. I tried once again with more speed and it was still the same.. Finally I increased the pulling out speed and did several tries in sucession and a few pathetic strands came out!!! By that time, my mum was asking me what am I doing inside for so long and asking me to eat more fruits to help me in moving my bowels.. She thinks I'm shitting and is having constipation.

Fed up, I gave up the wax option. Then I remember that I have a epilator.. So I endured the urge to shave the regrowth for the next few days. Then yesterday I found the time to do the hideous deed. It is worse than plucking your eyebrows cos there are more hairs to remove. After clearing some of the right side, I took a deep breath and forced myself to go on. Then I endured another painful 15mins for the sake of beauty. So now half of my right and left side is clear and tonight I will do the other half of the area. Well.. Let's hope my experience today is better than yesterday. I really "Ai Swee Mai Meah" (Love Beauty, Dun Want Life) ((direct translation))

I just got a call from a telecom company and they are asking me to go for an interview for one of the position. Wow.. Thank God! Yesterday, I was just praying and asking God for the direction in my career. My CGL spoke a word to me a while ago saying that I am being stagnant and not making full use of my talents. That time I was already weary of my current job. As I have a few responsibilities that I need to take care of so I was not sure whether I should change my job. But some opportunities came by and I applied for the positions. I was thinking if God is willing then He will make a path for me. Either to stay or to leave. Well, God is good. I just applied for a few jobs and I already had an appt for a job interview. My other colleague who is also looking for a job, sent out lots of resumes but receive no reply.

Anyway I will prepare myself for the interview and please pray that it would be a good one.

Had a really speedy weekend..

WHY DOES THE WEEKEND GOES BY SO QUICKLY?????????!!!!!!

I havent had a chance to do the things that I want to do.. like: 1) painting my toenails 2) play Playstation 3) watch dvds or vcds 4) shopping 5) sleep 6) wash clothes 7) rest 8) trim my eyebrows 9) eat my ramen 10) spend time with bf (alone) not with his entire family... 11) bring his dog to see doctor (he had diahorrea throughout the weekend) hmm... cant think of anything liao. Is there really a thing such as "not enough time"? I think there is especially during the weekends. But weekdays take up too much time. I feel that it is because I do not like my work now so I dread the coming of a new week and I welcome the weekend. Got too much politics and extra marital affairs in the company already. I'm sick and tired of it!!!!! Argggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!.............

So extremely cute!!!!!

Born on July 15, 2004, the three yet unnamed cubs surprised the park's director and wardens by presenting themselves in three different fur colors. Their parents - brown Bengal tigers Rani and Ratscha - both carry recessive white genes. Director Fritz Wurm explained that the rare golden fur of one of the girl cubs is a mix of brown and white.

Wow.. My Yoga lesson yesterday is really powerful. We did a series of poses and held them in position longer than the previous times. By the time we reach one of the more difficult poses, I was already perspiring. And at the end of one pose, I felt giddy. When I look up, the rest of the participants were looking at me. The instructor then asked me if I had low blood pressure and I said I dun know. She then said that those with low blood pressure would feel giddy if we bend back too much. That was the first time I ever felt giddy.. It feels strange. Like you have no control over your body and everything is in slow motion. Luckily I did not faint or anything like that...

Do you remember the guy that gave me a Guess watch 2 Christmas ago? He is my colleague and is now with one of my ex-colleague. And I just heard from another colleague that they have a volatile relationship. I think they are together now for only 2 months and they are already constantly quarreling over small matters. What's worse, the guy is always threatening her. Not with break ups or physical abuses but that he will do something silly if she leaves him. And the girl cannot take any criticisms from him even if it is for her own good. Sigh.. Both of them are childish. The guy is my age and the girl is 20 yrs old and they still behave like children.

Love is to give and take, to treasure and to let go, to protect and to yield at the right time. Everything must be in balance in order for a relationship to grow and flourish. No one should give too much and no one should take constantly. But one funny thing is that everyone in a relationship always felt that they are the one giving more to the other partner. I guess the measuring scale of love is difficult to quantify.

Yesterday I went out for supper with my JC friends and we had some great adventures.. Haha.. This always happen when a few of us get together. We are supposed to meet at 9pm and to proceed to Jalan Kayu for prata however we got delayed by lots of things. As Dan was at Ikea shopping so me and Jo decided to go there and meet him. It was also easier for Jo as she had a late meeting at Bukit Merah area. So by the time, Dan was ready to leave, it was already 9.15pm(?). First stop was to send his brothers home and then to send his mum to Holland V. Then after that we went to Yew T to pick up Sar. I was telling them that I am familiar with the area cos I learnt driving there and I've been to Yew T MRT. However, due to Dan cussing (to a motorist), we missed a turn and we had to U-turn back. After that I was giving him directions to Yew T MRT. As it was dark and foggy, so I took a while to get a grip on the surrounding. But Dan was pestering me for directions so I told him to turn right at one of the junction and I was hoping it is the right one. Alas, we reached a MRT station, only it is CCK not Yew T. So Dan continued heaping abuses at me.. Calling me a cobra ( it means cock up).. At least we were somewhere near the destination wat. In the end, we had to ask Sar to take the MRT to CCK and meet us. Heehee...

After that we proceeded on to the highway and Sar was in the front seat giving instructions to Dan. And I told Sar that she had to give him instructions 5 mins earlier so that he can prepare to turn or stop. We then stopped at a traffic light, with a red light and a red arrow. Then Sar kept telling Dan to turn on red, turn on red. I was confused at wat she was saying cos red means 'stop' wat. Dan was confused too and luckily nobody followed her instruction cos it was wrong, you can only turn if the arrow is green. Thank God for that if not I would not be here typing this. Hahah.. Then we got on to the highway and finally we reached Jalan Kayu safely. Wheww...

When we reached, Ed, Cal, Sara, Mich, ZW were there already. And they were asking why we were so late and of course Dan had to inform them about the whole incident. And after a while QY came by as well and we had a rousing, reminiscing and relaxing good time. As we had 2 cars so we split into 2 groups to go home, the east and the west. So the ones in the east like me, Jo and QY took Dan's car and those in the west like Ed, Sara and Sar took Cal's car. Mich and ZW had their own bike. We first went to Punggol to drop Jo off and over there the West group called and told us that their car's tyre punctured...hahahah on the highway... Well adventure enough for them. Then we proceeded to Tamp and we got onto the highway and as I directed Dan to get out on one of the exit, I knew something was wrong. It was until we almost reached Hougang that I told them the bad news..haha.. Luckily Dan knew of a ulu road to go back to Tamp. And finally, after tons of 'chuo ze', I reached home.

Well.. I'm glad we are friends and when we get together, all the years are washed away and we become 17 years old students again...

I think there is something wrong with my contact lenses. One of them is very scratched around the edges and that I feel uncomfortable when wearing it. This pair of lenses was bought earlier this year and it cost me around $300 plus. So if I were to get one side, I still need to fork out around $100 plus.. Which I really cant afford now. This is unnecessary expenses leh.. Ok will continue to tahan first. Am going to buy some contact lenses cleansing lotion and clean the lens. If it works then no need to spend so much money.

Am buggering my big bro for the update of the job offer at his working place and he just wont tell me. If like that then I think is bad. Not being negative or wat, just common sense mah. If good news already told me right.

Latest update: my big bro just went Japan this morning!!! And he will be back this Fri. My second bro said that most company dun hire bro and sis relationship. Idiot.. It's not true cos my company always do that... And he still can tell me to ask around. Anyway my cousin also got her sis to work in her company. Just remembered that one of CGL said that God would change the company policy just to bless us. If it is of God's will, then it would happen!!

Yay... I have create another new blog image.. now am getting better at html although I never learn b4. Anyway the 'comments' thingy has also been activated so pls leave me a word on whether u like this layout. Hmm... am in the office.. thus this testify that I really have no passion for my job anymore and i rather design my blog than work.. Please God, give me a new job with better salary that allows me to learn more things and express my creativity!!!

Just tried out the 'comments' thingy but not sure whether it is successful.

I was on MC yesterday together with bf. Both of us had the same symptoms - fever, diarrhea, body ache, stomach pain and headache. The doctor said that it is food poisoning. I had a good rest yesterday and I took a 5 hours nap. However, bf got worse. This morn he woke up with fever again and he went to see the doc. The temp was 39.2 degrees. The doc told him that he had a throat infection and thus the fever. His neck is swelling as well. I told him to stay in bed and sleep cos sleep is the best way for the body to recuperate. After a 1 hr nap just now, his fever still remained high, so he placed some ice on his head. He then took a pic on his hp and sent it to me with the pic title called "Ice, ice baby".. hahah.. Anyway he got another 2 days MC.

Yesterday when I was preparing for sleep, I talked to God about my job and how I lost the liking for the job and that I am tired of it all. I have learnt all that I can learn and knew all that I am suppose to know. Coming Feb 05 is the end of my 3rd year here and I have nothing to show for it. No increment, no promotion. Not that my performance here is terribly fantastic but at least I manage to do 2 persons job scope and survived! Will try to look for another job I think.

Actually I already finished the whole post but the stupid website has expired so the whole thing gone!!!!!!! Here I go again..

Let's talk about the outing on 25 Aug..

We are supposed to meet at Kranji at 11am but as usual..ppl were late. Heh, me and bf reached there at about 11.15am. Still not bad considered ppl like Ed, Mich and Zhiwei were much later. Then I asked bf to take out his camera and to take pic of us at the MRT (cos taking it out at Msia is quite dangerous). Then Dan came up with a brilliant idea of all of us faking a sad pose and to take pic (Dan the poser). Of course those with a sane mind would not do it thus Dan was the only one. Then I asked where is Mich and Zhiwei and Jo said that they were caught in the rain as they initially decided to ride to the causeway. But they had to abandon their plan as the rain continued to pour. They had to ditch their bike and take a bus to meet us. Well it is typical of Mich. Btw, they were soaking wet, they even left imprints of their butt on the bus seat!

When we reached the Msia causeway, Mich was detained cos she had some problem with her passport (usual stuff for her). Anyway after 15 minutes of waiting and the authorities asked her to buy some scotch tape to mend the torn page of her passport.. Why cant they lend her the tape, I'll never understand.. On the way in, we were thinking of changing how much ringgit for the day, Ed was psychoing the guys to change only S$100 between the 3 of them (zhiwei haven't arrive yet then) and I was psychoing bf to change more so that whatever I changed can be used for shopping and he can pay for the rest of the expenses (heheh) but he was determine to be one of the boys (think my psychoing skills not power enough). After the dividing of funds, we proceed to have a feast of roti prata, mutabak and teh tarik.. hmm.. Delicious..

Then we went to check out the movies. There was only 2 choices for us as most of us watched the rest of the movies. The two were 13 Going On 30 and The Sisters. After much debate (half of us is for the chick flick and another half for the horror show), Dan decided to toss a coin (at the booking counter!). Well, Fates and Jo's head (the coin hit her) decided that we are to watch the horror movie. After the purchase of the ticket, we went shopping (Yipeee!!), after much grumblings from the guys, we left them outside the shop and the girls proceeded on.. As the shop had 2 storeys thus we went up the stairs and spent the hour there. After a while, the guys decided to look for us but we were not there, then they went to each level looking for us. I think they had fun scolding us while prowling each level. After our satisfied purchases, we went to the cinema to look for them (the original plan). When they saw us, they started waving their arms and behaving like outraged cockerels (no pun intended) and making all sorts of noises.. hahah. Then they said that they actually tried to sneak in without the tickets but were stopped by the security. Heehee.. I think this was Dan's stupid idea.

Movie Review - The Sisters
By JP

The Sisters is a stupid, lousy show that only guys would like!!! The storyline left many loose ends that even me, with my eyes and ears covered throughout most of the show discovered! The sound effects of the movie sucks and after the first few initial scares, nothing is scary anymore cos they overdo it. Anyway I don't like horror movie cos I don't like scaring myself and giving me undue fears at night. Not that I'm a scaredy cat but I've got an active imagination so horror movies are out.

After a waste of time (1 half hour), we went shopping again (Yippeee!!!). The guys asked us to contribute to the common fund (Dinner Fund) first before the shopping but we refused. And once again, they backed out of shopping and went to Mac to wait for us. After our shopping spree, we found them there and they asked us for money for dinner. Then me and Jo dug out our pathetic 35 ringgit altogether and passed it to them.. Then their weird behaviour of cockerels started again but now it's worse cos they started poking our plastic bags and asked us what we expensive items we bought and suggested that we eat our purchases (I think bird flu infected them).. Then prudent Ed bought out his retirement fund (his secret savings) and said we might have enough for taxi fares and dinner.

Thanks to Ed's thrifty and careful budgeting, we had a sumptuous meal. We had 2 chicken wrapped in paper, cereal prawns, kung pow frogs, sambal tapioca leaves and pork ribs. Towards the end, we can see that the guys are still hungry cos they started eating the leafy decorations in the dishes. We suggested durians earlier cos we saw one stall opposite the restaurant but someone said there were more stalls in front. So we walked down the street and found nothing. Then Dan went to ask the Susu Uncle (long joke, next time then I tell u), and he said that on that day, no stalls would be open. Well durians hopes dashed we decided to take cab back to City Square. However, due to the lack of cabs, we took a bus..

The bus ride was fantastic and it is really cheap and authentic just like S'pore last time. Dan wanted to drop the money into the box but there was no box.. Then someone said to pass the money to the conductor. And we did and he gave us bus tickets (like last time one). After a dangerous drop off, we went to the back alley hawker stalls looking for durians. However, we found soup kambengs and char kway teow. The guys having bottomless pits for stomachs began their 2nd dinner. After that, it was pretty late and we started back to the causeway. And when we reached S'pore causeway, Mich said that they would be really sway if it rains when they are going home (they ride a bike remember). Then we saw a flash of lightening! hahah... Well it might happen to Mich.

We really had fun and must do it again..
