Cya on the other side (site)!

The short Monday off

Slept early but still woke up feeling like a zombie. It's always the same old vicious cycle where i will try to repay my sleeping debts by sleeping alitte more on my off days but tat don't seem to work very well.

Programmes for day are includes registering for university at SIM, collecting my lens at Bedok and paying grandma a visit. I hav to take away the solo movie session plus going to orchard since i couldn't spare extra time for these things. Sad.

The person who helped me to do the registration told me tat i might need to go for some english test since i failed in my secondary school time. Well, i wouldn't feel as taken aback now as compared to the old days. The only thing i'm worried about is probably spelling, haha. But tat's not confirmed yet so we'll see.

Travelling from west to east without my earphone was painfully boring jus to get my zoom lens over at bedok, good thing was tat i could use my phone to surf the net. After much winding about and i was reeally grateful tat my gps was working well, i managed to reach my destination in one piece. Collected my lens and took bus 226 to Bedok bus interchange so tat i can take 168 back to woodlands. Bedok is a place where it brings back lots of memories, esp the days when i kept going to ecp with my pals for cycling and chilling. The food there is nice as well. When i was walking towards the bus interchange, the aroma of the BBQ food came to me like those scene in cartoons, thing was, i haven't had anything since breakfast and it was around 5+ in the afternoon. So relived tat my gastric juices didn't came flowing out from my mouth, my eyes, my ears, u get the idea.

Reached back home at around 6 plus and finished my dinner at 7-ish. Went to my grandma's place at 8.30 and left 1hr later. I was 'chased' away by her since she wanted me to sleep early as i will b working on the following day. However i only slept at 12.30am after i finish updating my blog. How ironic.

Anyway, i realised tat i won't hav monday blues anymore since i'm resting on Mondays. haha

Late update for the 'wild' nite

There's a saying tat if ur day start off well, the rest of the day will b good. How true can tat be except that the direct opposite happened to me on Saturday.

There was a planned train disruption between Jurong and Clementi on the 18th and 19th so i either hav to take bus 961 to queensway or train to bukit batok and take their free shuttlebus service where i can board the train again at clementi. I chose the latter but things didn't go as planned; i reached bukit batok late and so i tot i might as well take a cab to work from westmall so that i won't b tat late. Thing was tat i'm not the only person who hav tot of tat. The queue over at westmall was seriously crazy and everyone there seemed to hav called for a cab so i won't stand a chance of flagging a cab off the taxi stand just like tat. Oh, and the weather wasn't helping to keep my head cool. Good thing was that i was able to control myself from pulling any 'bitch fit' and start scolding the cab operators when they can't get me a cab.

Reached office at 11am with a astonishing $12.80 cab fare. Wasted money b'cos of the stupid train disruption, sianz. Sales was pretty good that day so i guess my commission will cover back my cab fares ba, no luxury of claiming for transport anymore this time round, saded...

Nite arrived and time to rush down to Harbour front (where st james is located). My initial guest list includes Jennifer, Gerald, Kristen, Jafar and myself, however Jennifer decided not to go, Jafar's grandma passed away and Kristen claimed that he had a meeting with his client at 8pm on tat day so they couldn't make it. Tried calling the whole world and finally came up with the finalised one which includes Don, Gerald, Xiang Zheng and myself. Really hav to thank them for accompanying me to such a disappointing event. Special thx to edgar for wanting to join me even though he doesn't club.

I shall elaborate how disappointing this whole event was; at 1st when we reached the Boiler room, most tables were alr 'reserved' and i happily tot tat b'cos we were the invitees, we were like the VIPs, but i was wrong. The club was not booked for us and the reservations were made by others who will b going to the club shortly, which means we will hav to stand around whereas the radio DeeJays had themselves cordoned off at their own comfort zone. There were no interacts between them and us at all other than the 'must-do' hosting thing on stage. Yes, they mentioned 2hrs of free-flow alcoholic drinks but wat they didn't state is that we were only allowed to drink vodka + any mixer, mixer or ice water, no beer, no watsoever. Plus, the crowd there were fighting the free drinks, so i only had 3 glasses. Damn sian.

Brief description of the DeeJays:
Shan Wee, 1.94m, looking cool but his figure is really weird. Normal guys' figure shd look like a 'Y' but his is an inverted 'V'. :(
Vanessa, she look like a ang mo version of Irene Ang with lotsa tattoo (someone told me she looks like a trans, lol). :(
Rozz, not much diff from her picture, but she is damn tall. :\
Sara Tan, a sugar babe who is casually dressed but stunningly beautiful... *droolz* XP
Devion, a cool looking guy whom i tot was some random person at 1st. :\
Muttons, the same as how they look like but slightly bigger. :\

The only entertainment i had was the one provided by the staff at the boiler room where one of the guy was cross-dressing and flirting with one of the invitees and Shan Wee. We left at 10.30pm (which was 1.5hrs later) and i swear not to go clubbing ever again. Clubbing is seriously not my thing.

One thing tat kept me baffled was tat ppl who clubs are usually above 1.7m tall. So does tat mean tat by drinking alcoholic drinks will make u taller?? When i was there, i felt as though i'm some underage dude who managed to sneak in without getting caught, i swear if there were more ppl i will seriously suffocate inside there since i can't get the air where taller ppl can take in easily. Super sianz.

Don pro claimed tat he felt drunk after only 2 glasses of vodka + mixer (and the vodka content felt like 1% after being diluted by the soft drinks). Not so 'pro' after all huh? haha. No fotos were taken as i was super duper disappointed plus i wasn't in the mood to hav fun back then.

This is JX signing off, leaving my readers yet another death-by-reading entry.

The All-Singaporean Reject

The day has finally arrived! I've finally received the invitation thru sms this afternoon and tis is seriously a very long wait. I had even thought that there's some problem with my phone tat's y i didn't receive it (and there's seriously some problem with my phone where it kept dropping calls for no apparent reason).

I hav got to say, tml is really a very special day; everyone seemed to be busy with something. I tried so hard jioing ppl out but only a few can make it. Good thing i managed to gathered 3 ppl from army to acc me there. Those whom i had jio had fulfilled the criteria of at least 2 characteristic; clubber (or ex-clubber), sociable (basically a social butterfly) and most imptly, a good drinker (so at least they can send me back if i happen to b drunk, which i doubt i will drink alot since i hav to work on the following day). Anyway, there's train disruption again tml, sianz.

Frankly speaking, i think girls are very EXTREMELY fickle-minded animals. One minute she in, the other she's out, goddamm project runway or rather Project run-away! Ugh, if not then i must hav an aura (definitely not odour!) tat shuns them away. I guess i really hav got weak heart for rejections, NO MORE ORGANISING OF EVENTS FROM ME ANYMORE, YAY!

Monday's jus 2 more working days away and it will b well-packed again, as usual. I might be catching "Step up 3d" before they decide to not show it anymore, probably at the 1250 timeslot. Watching movie alone really isn't that bad u know? u guys shd try it sometime!

Can't wait for my 1st 'clubbing' exp tml. Well, technically speaking it's not clubbing since there will b a 'live' band there performing for us. So i suppose it will b some chilling out event where ppl jus go there and socialise and drink, FOR FREE! More updates coming up probably on sunday since i will most likely to come back 1/2 dead, dead tired tat is. LET'S BOOGIE WOOGIE!

Hari Raya Puasa Special

Working on a public holiday was a drag. Dragging myself out of the my comfy was another issue i hav to face every morning and it's no easy feat. The 'Z' monster with its empire of 'Z' minions attacks me like there's no tml. Ok, enough of crapping around.

I started my day like no other, listening to 987fm while travelling from Woodlands to Commonwealth. I had texted in some cheesy pick-up line yesterday and the DeeJays decided to use mine as a joke for others to laugh at (not the evil way) and by doing so, they kinda like tell other's that "You are not the winner".

It's not like i'm desperately wanting to win the RSVP event invites, I actually texted in for the fun sake of it. Anyway, they wanted a bogus title for urself so that u can put on ur namecard (if u hav one), so i texted in "The hotplate that leaves u sizzling every nite". The thing is that after hearing for so many days, i figured tat only those cheesy and subjective ones (sexual puns intended) will win. It's really nice to hear ur name on national radio as there are so many ppl in Singapore and i get to hog the air time for at least 4 seconds. Woot!

Oh, so back to my story. Since i didn't win when i texted in yesterday, i didn't expect anything anymore. While listening to the radio when i was on the train, i heard my name announced again by Vanessa and she mentioned that she tried calling me but i didn't pick up. I'm beginning to suspect tat b'cos they used my entry from the day before, they can't simply call me when i can expose them anytime? Well, it's either my lousy phone couldn't receive their call at tat time or they didn't call me at all. Doesn't matter since i've won! yay!

Rushed down to Shirley's place right after work for the FF gathering and man, her place is freaking big, not forgetting ulu as well. I love the open concept of her backyard and how she decorated her house with pictures which she had taken earlier on in life.

When night falls, the frogs at her garden started croaking and the place became sort of like a countryside resort to me out of a sudden. If i were rich, i will surely wan to own one of a place like tat. It's seriously an amazing place.

The FF 'hatchings' and seniors had fun and the tiramisu Shirley had made for us was superb. It wasn't as bitterish as i had imagined. The gathering was really quite a good one as we didn't really need to rely on games to kill time, we chatted instead and know more bout Shirley (since she's the host) plus her experiences with wildlife and overseas trips.

So looking forward for a holiday rite now so tat i can throw away all my troubles and enjoy myself. Working like tat is really starting to take a toll on me. Going to sleep soon so that i can prepare my battle with the 'Z' monster.

200th Anniversary

Finally hit my 200th post! Nothing much interest happened recently so i will jus hav a compilation of wat happened during the last 3 days to fill up tis entry. Hopefully my readers won't get death by reading! haha

30th Aug:
My off day is finally here! Initially wanted to sleep until much later than 10am but i seriously hav too much 'items' on my to-do-list. Headed out at approx 12 to Raffles Place to pass my claim form to my agency (ex) as this is the last day of the month where they compile all of the claims for everyone so that they can tabulate the total for the pay on the following month. As a 'cheapo auntie', i wanted to take a bus from Raffles Place to Somerset so that i can enjoy the transfer rebate service since i had taken a train from Wdls previously. However, even by following the directions on the GPS, i couldn't find tat freaking bus stop instead i was walking literally in circles in Raffles. So not cool being lost in ur own country, plus even by the aid of GPS!

Shortly after, met up with Jing for some photography session around my neighbourhood. There is a sudden outburst of kittens in my area and man, they are really adorable! Too bad my house is not really pet friendly since everyone will be busy working. Both of us took a stroll to Woodlands Waterfront since it's jus beside my place (even when i'm living in somewhere ulu, the facilities around the place is fantastic!). I can say that the playground there is really fun, the only thing is the i don't think it is safe for kids under 10. Even when i'm playing with the swing, i don't feel safe as well, it's like i almost got ejected from my seat when i'm swinging forward at the highest point. The macquets around tat region is starting to get aggressive to humans as well all thanks to the people who are feeding them despite the fact that there is a sign stating "NO FEEDING OF THE MONKEYS". Thanks!

Visited grandma at nite who had finally got to recuperate at home. Her hand still look swollen after resting at the hospital for so long. She was telling me tat her stay in the hospital made her seriously lethargic. Well, i shall wait for her to get better before bringing her to the zoo since she is into animals as well. Like grandma like grandson? haha. That concludes my day and another week of work follows...

31st Aug:
Last day of the month and it's the start of a new working week. What's different is that i will only be working 5 days tis week as i'm shifting my off day next monday to sunday instead since i'm having events on; Breakfast with Ah Meng's children and grandchildren as well as the docents newly hatched eggs, tat is to celebrate their graduation (more or less). The other one which runs along side with the breakfast event is my bro's baby shower (a.k.a baby's 1st month). As a buddy, i will hav to excuse myself from any other things to attend tat lah. Shall provide a free photoshoot his baby girl and hopefully the pictures will turn out good since i'm a self-declared-not-so-good-photographer.

The day went back without any customers as usual (pretty normal for weekdays). My new boss closed the place pretty early as we were heading for a dinner event at the HQ at Bukit Batok. It was the HGF dinner by the way. The dinner was good as they were not stingy on the food (at least not for the roasted suckling pig, muahahahaha). However the dinner only involves "Getai" where there was only singing, no auctioning. If i were a judge there, i will confirm 'ding' some of the singers out immediately after they open their mouth. One sang relying heavily on their nostril strength whereas another blamed the key being not correct during the point when she was singing. The entire 'Getai' was quite entertaining and the costumes of those on the stage were really crazy. I remembered that there were 2 epics ones where one of the singer had feathers stuck on her head, where she looked like she jus fought with an ostrich. Then comes the most 'kua zhang' one where she was wearing a colourful chicken-feather coat, if she is much petite, i swear she would look like a singing feather duster! So much for feather-fashion...lol

Pay day come faster!!!

Life goes on

This is post 199 and it's almost 4 years since my 1st entry. It's been 2 years after i've ORD-ed and 4 years since i last touched a textbook (just a metaphoric expression since i've touched them when i was doing my spring cleaning). Everything above was jus to measure how much time had passed for me.

Recently, i've checked out 2 unis for the course i wanted to take and it seemed like SIM offered a better deal for me since i only hav to study for 1 year and the sch fee for tat final yr is around $15k. Jus when i'm pretty much hyped up about going back to sch, mom asked me if i can postpone studying till next year. I guess the financial burden at home haven't really lighten after so long.

Tat actually troubled me alot as i need to reevaluate the whole situation; risking to fail final yr and waste $15k as i've returned most of my IT based knowledge back to my lecturers already or to waste another yr as a poly diploma grad in the society. I've told my mom tat i will go ahead and apply for SIM as i might not be able to get in. No matter wat the outcome might b like, i guess life goes on. Earth won't stop rotating even if i fall so I won't take tis as a failure but a learning experience, so for those out there whom i know, pls be supportive of me.

Heard the AM Jam team from 987 tis morning and they were asking wat do we hate and love about life. I guess i hate the fact tat the root of all evil really make the world goes round (not literally but u get the idea) and the thing i love is how humanity can giv love without expecting anything back, tat's the beauty of it. One of the listener texted in and complained tat how she hated to b treated like a 12 yrs old when she is already 22. I suppose this is y the youngsters nowadays cannot think for themselves since their parents are so over-protective of them, even when making minute decisions which are seemingly insignificant.

Enough of all the whinings, met up with sis and dad after work to hav dinner at Woodlands centre since mom did not cook for us as she was doing OT. Dad had Hor Fun whereas his son and daughter decided to hav Astons. Dad was saying he didn't wan to hav too much meat so tat's y he ordred tat. Sis ordered chargrilled salmon and i had 'lame' chop which i had been craving for ever since Colin gav me a small piece of his long time ago. However the 'lame' chop wasn't 'well done' today as they left the insides slightly bloody. The blood water was gushing out when i used force to dig the flesh out tat was attached to the bones. Good thing was i managed to finished it but tat left a very strong mutton smell in my mouth. The dinner was indeed a good one as i had mutton and my fave fish, salmon, since i traded with sis. Simply loved the saltiness!!! Oh! and i forgot to the mention tat the waitress there is cute! lol

Work tml and the day after, i'm starting to feel more and more lifeless. Feel like K-ing someday, anyone interested? haha

And the fire alarm goes, sha la la la la~

It's the 15th day of the HGF today and my boss came in real early with his son to set up the tables with offerings for the 'Good Brothers'. By the time i've reach office, they were alr there doing their own stuff. I saw my boss burning the incense paper in the red mini metal bucket where people burn offerings in, so i offered to help. It wasn't long when the smoke detector detected smoke outside our showroom and the fire alarm started ringing...

The whole scene was seriously action packed. It's almost like some scene from an action flick where they hav a pre-recorded female voice in the background saying "the fire alarm has been sounded, please evacuate the building" and i really heard tat when the fire alarm was ringing non-stop. Good thing was, the water sprinklers weren't working, phew...It's really an action packed morning.

Grandma is discharged from the hospital tis morning, hope tat she doesn't hav phobia of cats from since the day she got biten...

Some update for yesterday as well:
My grandma was recovering well after the cat bite. The doctor told her tat she won't hav to go thru the operation as her swell seemed to hav reduced slightly. Of cos, my granda was really elated to hear tat since she's never a fan of going for any operations. Visited her after i've checked out the uni course offered by MDIS at douby ghout and i found that she is really a woman of wisdom. I am really ashamed to say tis b'cos i only knew it yesterday as i hav nt really talk to her alot even when i visit her. I would say she is the coolest grandma in the world! Hopefully it's not too late to cherish her.

Before that, i've started my day at SIM, checking out things tat are related to my future. Then took a cab down to NUS to join my friends for lunch (didn't really eaten anything since i was still bloated with the fried rice cooked by mom in the morning). Followed them back to the office to pass them 'something' as well as my handphone claim forms for last month. Hui ling better b in office before end of month as my agent was asking me for all my claim forms to be submitted alr since the finance ppl were rushing him for it.

Shortly after, went to bugis to pass Joel my famous ah xiang cookies as he is leaving SG for Korea tis coming sunday for further studies. Since i was there, i made a trip down to the Guan Ying Temple to pray for safety since tis is the HGF month (jus in case). Then i went down to douby ghout and lastly to visit my grandma. It's my off day yet i hav no rest, how ironic. Luckily i had completed all the things in my To-Do-List and so the was not wasted at all. haha

My 1st sale

I've finally made my 1st sale after sitting around in the showroom for a continuous six days (count tml and it will b seven straight working days). An ang mo couple showed up in the afternoon with alr something in their mind bought a 3-burner bbq stove from me. Initially the husband wanted to get something bigger whereas the wife finds the smaller ones better. They compromised each other by getting a medium one which was the 3-burner stove. I couldn't hav handled them alone since my product knowledge is still at a mediocre level.

It's been rather an 'unhealthy' week as i hav not been socialising enough with other people other than my boss. Then again, i've been telling myself that i'm taking this opportunity to save money. Since lesser outings equals lesser chance to spend money. Thing is i haven't been going out for an entire week alr!!! ah!!!!! My boss is exceptionally good to me as he had treated me lunch almost everyday. Well, if u were to ask me, i would reply tat i wanted to return him the money but he jus refuse to accept.

And recently, i've got a 'kang tao' from a friend who is working for a company which maintain a certain serach engine. He had approached me to assist him in regards of editing the homepage (everything had alr been done up by another graphics designing company), where i jus need to enlarge one or 2 of the pictures within and i'll b paid. It's really easy money for tat and it's even better than selling butt! If u sell butt for 1hr, u can only get probably $100 depending on good ur 'service' is. And if u do the editing, u will get almost tat amount but u only need to spend less than 5mins on it, how good can tat b?!

SO HAPPY TAT I KNOW HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP!!! Yay!

Anyways, i really need to go out soon...T_T

The crazy pussy

My grandma got admitted to the hospital today as she was attacked by a cat while she's trying to pat it yesterday. Wat a ferocious kitty there. Poor grandma keep getting scolded by my uncle for giving him so many troubles. I mean it's understandable that tis is clearly an accident which my grandma didn't expect either. Since she tot that the cat she was about to pat was like any other tat's y she went to touch its head. Who knows tat the cat decided to bite her on the back of her hand. My grandma suffered from a punched wound from that nasty bite and the wound probably reached her blood vessel as well since her hand was swelling all the way to 1/2 of her forearm.

Seriously hope tat she will recover soon and no implications for her after her operation tml...

Conspiracy

If there's someone out there who is all out to make my life miserable, he/she has already achieved it. I am seriously tired of all these crap tat i've been receiving in life. If u find tat stepping over my head is fun, pls get a picnic mat, find a spot and stay there, stop walking all over alr! When being nice is not the only option to make others reciprocate tis gesture back, then i guess there's no point in being a good person anymore.

Ever since when i'm a primary sch kid, i was often picked on; by my fellow classmates and probably 1 or 2 teachers. I almost felt like i'm a giant walking 'Mistake' who had been born to b picked on. People look at me like a freaking ghost and will stay away from me as much as they could, unless i'm somehow useful to them. I remembered there was once i've made a girl cried by doing...nothing. That girl walked to me and then ran off crying and telling everyone i bullied her. Tat was really fucked up back then. Do u know how traumatizing was tat for a primary school kid?!

Not too long after when i entered secondary school, life didn't really get any better. There were always people out who seemed to enjoy being an audience of my depressed life. I still get the occasion teasing and mocking by my classmates and not forgetting tat totally fucked-up P.E teacher Raja, whom as a teacher had always said nasty things to me. The worst one i had was before i graduate from school and 1 of my classmate came up to me and confront me, asking me y did i say that her younger sister underwent a plastic surgery to make her boobs bigger. I find tat amusing as i don't hav any intention of making fun of ppl whom i don't know, besides i don't joke about things like tat. Probably i would had laughed if not for the atmosphere back then. Later then i found out from her that one of my CCA junior, Jasper, had put words in my mouth for some reason to sow discord between me and my classmate. Weird thing was i didn't even remember having bad blood with him, if it was a prank, it was really badly pulled.

Then recently i had someone getting all upset of me becos i posted something on FB which was meant to b a joke. Probably he was having a bad mood tat day so he rant at me which somehow seemed to b my fault over a small thing.

There are still many more examples which i don't think i would wanna mention. What i wanna convey here is tat, i'm a human as well. I DO NOT DESERVE THIS KIND OF RIDICULOUS TREATMENT. Before you wanna get all upset or blow ur top at me, pls think how would i had felt at tat time. I am not some toilet paper who can b used and thrown away after tat. If you don't think of me as a friend or even a person, pls FUCK OFF, seriously enough is enough alr, thx.

It's a new world out there!

First day at my new job and i was almost late. Blame it on me for clipping my finger nails, shaving my facial hair and ironing my clothes only in that short period of time in the morning.

By the time i reached JE, it started raining and i tot it was over for me. Good thing is tat my new workplace and the train station is only 20 running steps away. So minimum damaged was incurred to me. If i were to b caught in the rain outside Glenneagles and i hav to walk into NParks HQ for work, i would had ran in naked and then keep my clothes somewhere safe so tat i can wear them dry after tat. *imagine me streaking across botanic gardens...* lol

Initially it was pretty much a culture shock since it's like throwing me from IT to Finance dept where i hav to see things at a different point of view as well as learning things from scratch. But it's pretty interesting the bbq we know actually has got so much more things to learn and to know so i kinda picked it up easily. For instance, y ppl need to buy hickory wood chips when they are not intending to burn it, y use lava rock/ceramic bracquettes when bbq-ing.

Had my lunch at Commonwealth market and man, it's really cheap there. I had Nasi Lemak set for $2 and a Cheng Teng (it was previously featured in "Buzzing counters" a.k.a "抢摊大行动") FOR ONLY 80 CENTS!!! Cheap and nice!

Well, since i was there for the 1st day, i hav to watch my language and actions to prevent any 'disaster' from happening. It's jus like getting to know someone for the very 1st time and u hav to do/say everything in the utmost 'politically' correct manner. However, my boss (a.k.a my mom's cousin a.k.a my uncle) was pretty cool as he didn't really carry a dao boss image, in fact, he slept in the office after lunch and play game after tat. I'm not saying tis to hao lian or to spoil his image since we really hav nothing to do today as there were no customers coming up. I used my free time to check his 2 websites which were done up by someone and he paid them 3k for it. One of it was seriously badly managed and the colour used was really not appealing...I feedback to him and luckily he was receptive of my comments, i guess working directly under a boss is way better than working for someone who is working for their client. haha

The day went by relatively quickly for me since it's still the 1st day for me. Hopefully my stay will b an enjoyable one since i will hav more time to do my own things there (e.g finishing up my books/anime/movie/drama). No more going out for me since i will not hav time for other le, i guess it's a way to save money as well ba, haha.

4-hit Combos *bish bish bish bish*

The day has finally arrived where we will b watching "Avatar: The LOUSY Airbender". In a way or another, japanese animations tat were re-shot as an ang mo movie will somehow turnout disastrous. For example, the characters in the movie will somehow turn from an Asian to a Caucasian. One of the worst show tat i've ever watched tat was re-shot was "Dragonball Evolution". It's almost like watching porno with no sex. Luckily i watched it on a VCD. Nonetheless, despite the endless bad reviews from countless critics, i'm still trying my luck to see if the movie is really tat BAD...

Lost my handphone pouch which contained the voucher which Karen had given me early in the morning in the train. I've always been careful but it's jus my luck to lose yet another thing in my life. The weird thing was tat i've even bothered to turn my head back to check on my seat if anything was being left behind. Guess tat spooky things like tat only happens in around tis month - That is blow number 1.

Watched the movie with with my ex-colleagues and i can only say it kinda cheated our money since we'll still hav to go back for part 2 and 3 of the show, tat is if they managed to hav enough fund earned from their 1st movie to support them lah. The female lead from the movie reminded me of the bimbotic cheerleader from "Heroes" where she appeared in the show for like 99/100 times of the show jus to prove how irritating some female homosepiens can be. Esp when the part where the little Monk said something like "I need a place to meditate and cannot to be disturbed", tat female lead jus kept talking to him to disturb him. I remember she said something like "I know u r real (like as if he's not?!), I know u can hear me (c'mom jus giv him some peace and quiet time will ya?!)". I guess some ppl are jus brainless or rather the director jus wan the viewers to hate the female lead. The show is passable in my context, so it's still not as bad as the critics had said. Oh, the cinema was only 10% filled by the way - Blow 2

After the movie, we had high tea together at "Hot Tomato" at 313 shortly after a light shopping spree at the same place. I've gotten myself 3 shirts from "Recoil" at around $95 which i think is still quite affordable since i managed to get 10% off from the total bill as a Safra card member. Back to the story, i ordered apple juice from them and i've gotten apple concentrates instead - Blow 3

While enjoying my apple drink and the ice creams which Karen had treated us, Emo-uncle asked about the gift tat Siew Chun had given me. So i told him tat it's a single piece of chocolate. As he was wondering y would someone giv A-Single-Piece-of-Chocolate as a farewell gift when he/she could hav given like a box of choclate instead, he realised tat the single piece of chocolate could b one of those tat Siew Chun had given us 4 months ago during Easter. Well, i mean it's not surprising if she really did giv me an expired chocolate since tis is not the 1st time she had done so, like passing expired food around and tell them tat it's still edible; provided if they dare to eat it, tat is... - Final Blow! K.O.

However, despite all the negative energy tat was lingering around me (i'm wondering if tat has got to do with the stinking aura last Fri), i was able to 'cheat' 2 additional passion-sized popcorns since the sales personnel from the counter decided to let me keep my receipt for the redemption. So i went down to lvl 5 and get another 2 sets instead. I really hope that Cathay will hav more of those sales assistants who don't keep the receipts for redeeming popcorns so we the 'budget' ppl can enjoy more privileges while watching a discounted movie. Muahahahahaha

Friday the 13

Woke up early tis morning so that i can bake my famous ah xiang cookies for Yvonne since she's leaving for US this coming Sun. Tie really flies and it's been a yr plus since we joined the WRS docents...

Anyway, mom had an appointment with her physiotherapist today so dad and herself took a day off. At 1st i was wondering how come i can still hear them in the house at 8+am when they shd hav been out by 7.15am. When mom saw me waking up to do the baking so early, she offered to cook me a bowl of TLC noodles even when i told her tat i can settle my breakfast myself. This is wat i call love ba? haha

I've only managed to bake like 4 batches before i gav up since it was around 11 by then and i was having a lunch appointment with my ex-colleagues at 1230. Sadly i wasn't able to make it in time since i made a trip to cine to get another movie ticket for colin for the movie tat we'll b watching the following day.

Met up with Ricky at around 1.20pm and saw tat NUS canteen was serving Mee soto, which was a bonus to me since they don't often sell it (tis is for you, JX! haha). Headed back to the office to pass some of my cookies around and check out how's things going there. It seemed like everything's still the same, or rather the amount of shit job there left to b cleared.

So i left shortly to meet up with yvonne so i can pass my TLC cookies to her before she fly off. I hope it's sincere enough since i delivered it to her doorstep outside Bukit Timah Hill. Took a picture with her and had a goodbye hug before 'abandoning' her so tat i can go home for some rest before continuing to make more cookies.

Baking is fun but too much of it makes me kinda sick alr, esp when u see ur mountain of cookie dough still standing tall after u use them and bake for another 2hrs. It's starting to become my nightmare alr! SOMEBODY PLS COME AND SAVE ME!!! ARH!!!!!!!!!

Last day in NParks

It's finally the last day at work and i'm almost late for catching the shuttle bus in the morning.

Went to work as usual except that today is like the season finale for me in NParks. I still can't believe tat i've been working there for 1yr+ alr. Comparing the DSTA, most users here are really so much nicer and less demanding. Even the directors are awesome here. I guess it's becos of the working environment as well as the nature of the work ba?

I've received another gift earlier on as well from Siew Chun as well as blessing from everyone else who knew about me leaving this company. Took a few pictures with my fellow colleagues and pass on my 'load of shit' to others.

I was having mixed feelings before i leave the company as I'm glad tat ppl are actually remembering me (or rather my customer service) and sad tat i'm leaving (hopefully they are genuinely true). Sad thing was tat seeing so many ppl showing concern to me at this moment makes me feel hesitant to leave again. Life's a contradiction to begin with i guess?

4 days of rest and i'll b walking a new path, wat lies ahead is still unknown but i can foresee more wall-staring sessions and not let's not forget the ceiling as well! :)

For 1 more day at NParks

Special thx again to Karen for the nicely wrapped present tat was placed on my desk this morning. I had a hard time figuring out wat is inside (it is still inside as i hav yet to unwrap it) when Emo-uncle decided to unveil it for me using his 'x-ray eyes', CAREFUL GIRLS!!! It is a Wireless mouse from Microsoft, which was revealed by Karen when Emo-uncle kinda made it a spoiler for me. Other than tat, he 'feedback' that the wrapping was done badly, which he kinda got beaten up by Karen a few times on his arm. lol.

I was still wondering y Karen asked me to choose a list of 5 items which she had listed out for me during work and tat kinda became a way to see which one will b the most useful to me.

The spaghetti tat i've made turned out to receive many good complimentary and which of cos made me really satisfied with my culinary skills (not tat it is very hard to make though). Too bad i've kinda made too little of the sauce so i can't giv all the ppl i wanted to.

1 more working day to go and i'll b gone from NParks. I'm seriously starting to get worried since i'm not sure if i'm making the 'right' choice. Fingers crosed!

Give me 8 more hrs!!!

24hrs is seriously not enough for me!!! With the long weekend jus ended, i still barely hav time for myself, to sleep (other than the unexpected 2hrs nap i had jus now).

Made some spaghetti for my colleagues tml. The recipe tat i had followed this time required high amount of monetary investment since it required expensive stuff like red wine, paprika, and honey. The cooking part was really fun but the washing up part was a total bitch. I've spent like /1/2 to 45mins washing up all the pots, wiping and mopping up the floor since there was a slight 'accident' which i had kinda unexpected or rather forgotten. I can only say tat cooking is an art tat requires alittle science to make the whole process go smoothly. The pasta sauce part was done up pretty well whereas i had created a mushroom cloud made of butter during the spaghetti noodles part. As the noodles need to be stir-fried with butter at the end, i threw in a small piece butter into the overly heat-up pot and the whole kitchen was flooded with smoke (it almost look like me making potion by throwing something into a cauldron). Lesson of the nite was, never to throw butter into a heated-up pot, heat up the butter slowly!


Turning back the time alittle to Saturday nite. We had dinner and movie in town to celebrate B-min's b'day. It wasn't the original plan to hav Fish & Co. for dinner but we had no choice since the Sakura at cck branch was OVERLY PACKED. Everyone in tat area were jus too obsessed with the 30% discount for the buffet. I'm never a fan of Fish & Co. as the food there can never make me full. Sick of the food, yes, and full? Never! Tat applies for Manhattan Fish Market as well!

After tat we headed to RedMango for some Yoghurt as some of our guys were so obsessed with the 'American sweet heart' tat they've decided to do a imitation of her poster shot with the nuns in it. As you can see, JoMak did a better job in becoming the next Julia Roberts where the 'nuns' were too busy with their desserts. By the way, i would like to recommend the frozen yoghurts here in RedMango, they are really nice, esp the Green Tea Latte since it's the cheapest as well, haha.

The movie we watched tat day was 'Salt'. Gav it 2.5 Stars as there were too much loopholes in the movie which doesn't really make sense to me. 1 Star for Jolie's signature lips, 1 Star for Jolie running around like a crazy bitch so tat she can escape the claws of the evil villains and 0.5 star for the fact tat she took out her black undies so tat she can hav ventilation for her 'below', kidding!!! Storyline kinda sucked though ESP THE ENDING! Oh! I forgot to mention tat i saw blood on the toilet bowl's lid in the theater's toilet. I've came to a conclusion tat it most likely belonged to some woman whom jus had her menses and decided to donate some of her blood there. Moral of the story is: Always wear a pad if u r having menses and make sure u bring extras (pun intended).

Before i end tonite's entry, there's something i would like to ask: Do you agree to PDA (Public Display of Affection) in regardless of whether ur partner doing it on you or you doing on ur partner? Well, the reason i even to ask tis qn is b'cos i saw some random woman sitting in the train sliding her hand on her bf's chest down to his 'precious' area while his bf is standing in front of her. Oh pls! Go get a room and finish up watever u guys wanna do. STOP CORRUPTING MY INNOCENT MIND!!!

TGIF, really, seriously and gratefully!!!

First and foremost, special thanks to Karen for organising this outing so well, Chia Han & Hui Ling for the dinner treat tonite (will be paying back though!), Yi Feng and the 2 kids-of-NParks-IT-Department-since-May-2010 for the joy and entertainment we had and lastly Terence & Benjamin for turning up. This is the 2nd time we had a dinner outing but surely the 1st when our manager and team lead decided to join us for one that is after office hour.

It seemed like this is the most entertaining Friday i had ever since i started working here. The day went back as usual with not much difference than other Fridays other than the trying-to-finish-up-my-things-before-i-quit mode tat was installed in me few days back. Where are all the missing items?!! Doing asset is really an annoying job to take over b'cos u will never know if anyone took ur stuff if they decide not to tell you, u will b looking for ur thing for vain.

Things was pretty much the same until after lunch when CH asked the 2 kiddos to check on the status of the outstanding cases tat were still pending to be closed. I was having fun disturbing JX-1990 when he was making calls to the users to check on the status with them. Of cos, initially i didn't know that he was on the phone with users since he was talking with his usual hand-over-the-mouth-while-talking-on-the-phone style which is common used when talking to a certain someone. To make it less explicit, i would say we had much entertainment in the office during that time. Heh heh...

So came the time when 4 of the peeps took the earlier bus to go to the Steamboat place so that they can reserve seats for our big group since it's a Fri nite where ppl will b flocking to town as if there were someone distributing freebies. Not a good timing to go if u r crowd-phobic.

It was supposed to be a 'double-date' for me since the docents were there as well but i can't really 'abandon' my colleagues as well since it's pretty much a rare chance to come out for dinner like tat. It's really not easy to come out with 2 different group of ppl at the same time... Sorry guys for 'pang seh-ing' at the last min, will b baking my famous Ah Xiang cookies for u guys as an apology and thx for the 'special' tat was made for me! haha
After the steamboat we had deserts some famous dessert store which i can't remember the name. The group ordered some fruit flavoured shaved ice which included the 2 fruits which i don't really know how to 'appreciate'; durian and mango. The durian favoured shaved ice was quickly reduced to air since it's something that most ppl love. Not me of cos! BEGONE DURIAN!!!! BEGONE DURAI!!!!

With only JX-1990, Mafia boss R, emo uncle YF and myself left after the dessert part, we headed to the arcade to see some 'LIVE' action of Mafia boss R doing his suave shooting-the-virtual-dummies thingy which JX-1990 had mentioned during the steamboat. Too bad MFB R didn't play the game which required him to do the 'killer' move which he had used and accidentally hit his lil bro (his blood brother, not the one growing on him) with. He didn't manage to complete the game at the end though since the 'enemies' were better than the one and only Mafia boss.

Emo uncle and myself went to play DDR instead but was quickly 'hijacked' by some random girl there. Right after the 1st song, the random girl quickly took over emo uncle's place and started playing DDR along side me (i hav avoided using "playing with me" so that u guys with great imagination can spare me the teasing part). She didn't stop until after finishing 2 songs and things tat i had to endure was her randomness which i was stunned and the horrendous stench tat came out from her feet. Imagine tat i hav to play 2 songs from the game which is approximately 6 mins and while doing tat i need to gulp for air to make sure tat i was well oxygenated, at the same time the stench forcefully went into my lungs which was seriously damaging. Emo uncle YF and JX-1990 was busy laughing by the side and i received my retribution of not standing-up for emo uncle since he got hijacked by taking in excessive corrosive air. THIS IS TJX, GOOD THING I AM STILL ALIVE...

That freak stench lingered within my lungs until approximately 2am when i was about to sleep. It almost felt like tat random girl placed her feet on my face and left it there for 6mins.

2 more working days to go and i will be gone from NParks. Hope tat there won't b regrets. Hope that everyone works happily and well. Hope that NUS canteen food can hav more variety for my fellow colleagues. Hope that everything goes well for everyone. We will soon b no longer colleagues but we will surely b friends.

Goodbyefriendsandtakecare!

"Ring Ring"

Ever had tis experience where a song keeps ringing in ur head like a broken mp3 player tat had been set on eternal loop? Well, here's the song tat's playing in my heard for the entire nite after i play it once on my phone:



Love the lyrics where they say: "Your voice is heaven, But it hurts, Your words are memories, But they burn". Seriously salute the lyrics writer who managed to think of phrases like tat, i mean the emotions that he/she wanted to express was done perfectly. Long live Eric Dill for singing tat song so well!

Short update about my mundane office life for today: I've finished my meds and i'm still coughing like crap, wonder how long i will still need to wait in order for my illness to be cured (tat includes the shyness part, haha). Went to the office tis morning and the 1st thing that Karen said to me was to ask me to distribute her cooked food to everyone. It's really nice of her to let me try out her cooking before i leave and one more thing tat i was really impressed is the fact tat she packed her food nicely in nice plastic containers for everyone. Thanks for the effect Karen!

She had made us garlic eggs and some high fibre rice with fried anchovies (superb and nicely fried!) out of her many specialty as i had requested her to make it simple. They might look like some other egg or fried rice but they really taste good. In fact tis is the 1st time i'm eating egg cooked this way as well as fried rice with some kind of bean where i had never eaten in my life before. I shall make spaghetti soon to let everyone try before i leave, so u guys jus wait!

Something tat i would like to share is tat i've always tot tat i'm someone whom i can live my life without attracting any attention (unless i wan to lah). Well, or i've tried to be as low-profile as possible in NParks. However there are people who are showing appreciation to wat i've done for them, even for the smallest thing i've done. For instance the Y.E.O.P thingy which i had received twice was really like striking lottery for me. Really appreciate people who had made my working life such a meaningful one, not forgetting those who had remembered my name in NParks.

Living a life as a working adult is indeed experiential...As for being a docent at the zoo, i've learnt tat the world out there is really big out there. Seems like i've been inside my comfortable 'well' for too long already. These are experiences that make one grow up, or rather made me grow up quite alot.

For those who will b missing me, don't say goodbye. We will still b seeing each other again as our path will easily b crossed. Otherwise, i'm only a line away.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CALL ME WHEN I'M IN THE TOILET!!!

Another drowsy day

I didn't know tat by eating antibiotics will cause drowsiness as well. So i basically suffered being in and out of lala land constantly for approximately 3 straight days of my life tis week. Yawnz!!!

It's finally a 'free' Sunday for me where i can do my usual Sunday routine with my parents; go to market in the morning, supermarket in the afternoon, visiting grandma after tat and gradnpa at nite. Did a massive spring cleaning of 1/2 of my room today while in the midst of 'travelling' in lala land and cleared out some old stuff which i intended to sell it online. Not too sure who will b interested though.

Yesterday's Sungei Buloh trip was fun, but the otters decided to not show up to the 10s of us and so we hav to leave with regret. However, we did manage to catch a glimpse of 2 crocs sunbathing themselves near the entrance of the reserve! Tat's something new for me even though i've been there a couple of times. Shall post the pictures up soon!

Watched "Inception" later in the nite with my parents and we all left the theater in doubt, so did Leonardo "died"? Shall not reveal too much to avoid being a spoiler.

Time to sleep and lala land, here i come! Shall go look for freddy tonite...

8 more working days...and hungry ghost is out alr?!

8 more days and i will b gone from NParks. Gone in a way that i don't hav to see the Tai-Chi master as well as the unhygienic dude who treated the office like his house. I guess being sick and drowsy contributed to my low tolerance for nonsense. Well, that is definitely something that i won't miss when i am gone!

I've went to work as usual except that i was carrying a huge bag of cookies which i had distributed to many many ppl. Of the many many, i had given Michelle (originally from IT, to thank her for looking after me when i was still a noob in the department), the kiddos (jun xian and ricky for being such a good kid, i jus lied again! haha), funito (i've given him the slightly burnt ones, cos i can't stand his crap sometimes, or rather most of the time, heh heh), chee ping, chia han, hui ling, karen and yi feng. Terence got transferred out so i didn't hav the chance to let him try my cookies before i leave nparks. Sophia was not forgotten as well since i hav a little favour to ask her, which is to write me a testimonial before i leave. However, she told me to write it myself and let her vet thru when i'm done. It sounds kinda wrong to do tat cos who in the world would praise themselves (other than those who's skin are as thick as 10 elephants added together)? As there was a saying: Self-praise is no-praise. I asked chee ping about it and he told he tat it is actually quite normal for this kinda things. Well, shall look for ppl who are 'powderful' with their 'england' to think for me alr.

Next up, jun xian's eye candy, 'Miss Birdie', talked to me (it's not like i'm interested in her or anything lah) and i almost blushed. Good thing i can control my blood flow, shall name myself JX: The Last Blood Vessel Bender! I'm seriously suspecting that i'm having some kinda uncontrollable sickness tat will turn myself red when there are young female homosapien (other than my friends and sister) around me. Not a good thing though! I remembered Sophia told me tat my future wife will b a very fortunate woman since i know how to bake cookies, thing is tat i don't even hav a gf yet! Jokes aside, i'm seriously not tat desperate for one yet since i still prefer my single-hood where i can do whatever i want and whenever i want to. No obligations to anyone and no fear of a possible bad relationship where things go wrong and the girl starts to stalk me and threaten to kill me with a parang. Besides i really don't hav time for tis kinda thing/drama. So, stop asking me when i'm going to get a gf! Thx ppl!

Female homosapiens hav already been engineered in such a way tat they can change their mood even faster than a lightning strike, literally. Girls around me are really scary, probably tat's y i'm SOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOT INTO SINGAPOREAN GIRLS! They are demanding, petty and needed constant pacification. Sometime, being a Singaporean guy is jus so pitiful cos we don't even know wat the hack we had done wrong to enrage tat 'beast' in them. I am so sorry to be such a sexist here but it is meant for SG girls only. For instance, i had distributed cookies to everyone except someone whom i had said that i would giv her a share. It's not considered as a promised in my context though. However, i didn't make enough and i suppose giving it to my bosses and colleagues are much more impt since we see each other almost everyday. So she keep ranting about it saying things like "so i'm the last one on ur list". I mean c'mom lah, if u r really tat desperate for some cookies, jus go and buy lah, it's not like i'm giving out gold bars and u r not getting any rite? Besides i had apologised to her alr. Girls are really...dotz

Sorry tat my inner-bitch came out, time to keep tat bitch back to where it belonged. *squeeze it hard into the magical lamp* and *poof*

Another Drama Day-28/7/2010

I'll keep this entry short as the medication had taken effect on me and i'm already 1/2 way there in lala land already.

Took 1/2 day off today planning to come back home early to bake some cookies for my colleagues my 'grand finale' in NParks. However, i couldn't find the whisk tat is supposed to be attached to the electric mixer when i'm ready to mix all the ingredient together. Searched for it for quite sometime before i finally gav up and took a little nap on the sofa until mom and dad come back so tat i could ask them. When they finally came back, they didn't even know where that thing was but i still managed to find them in the...oven...

Little update on early of the day. Saw an old couple and a woman in the early 30s quarreling, details unknown but i almost had it taken down on my hp, too bad my hp was undergoing 'renovation' (bought a new screen protector) at cold storage. Terence Chan from my workplace was asked to leave NParks due to the fact that he had sent out inappropriate reply to one of the big shot from MOM, whom had apparently sent out email to the wrong recipient. Tat big shot didn't even bother to attach his signature on the email until he was 'taking revenge' by cc-ing the email to the whole wide world when replying back to Terence's 'rude' reply, how nice of him...

Shall go sleep now, hopefully the cookies will turn out super delicious since i've added double dosage of chocolate chips!

The Rewarding Sunday!

Nothing happening happened today except that the fact tat i've found a pair of Oakley shades under the bench at the bus stop in the zoo when going home. Initially i was really skeptical on whether if the shades is an authentic, one cos it's been lying there for quite some time with lots of ppl passing by and looking at it without picking it up and it seriously feels plastic-ky. So i kinda brought it back and Jimmy was telling me to check if there is any of the same model on Oakley's webby. Checked the price and it costed around $200sgd (i supposed tat is a real one). So i kinda made it my reward for turning up at the zoo today >:)

A small portion on wat happened to me yesterday; NParks was having their Recreation Day yesterday where staffs get to enjoy movies at the price of $3 per tic plus a choice of a combo set where they had popcorns, hotdog or nachos if you get 2 tix.

I've gotten 4 tix, 2 Indespicable Me for my sis and 2 Sorcerer's Apprentice for myself, but she pang seh-ed me as she reserved tat show for someone else so i gav them to my cousins instead.

As for my personal review for this show, probably 3/5 stars ba, pretty much the effects tat was keeping me entertained. What i hated most was the ending where it was too amusing to a point tat it didn't really make any sense (well, it shdn't b since it's fictional, but still...) and they kinda ended the ending abruptly. I was too amused by the "Ghostbusters" stunt they had in the movie as well as the "Dragonball-cum-Starwars" effect tat kinda killed the wicked bitch witch tat tried to take over the world like all evil villains always wanted to do in all movies. One more thing tat i forgot to mention is the part where they 'exchanged' moves, total epic...

Well, coming next up will b "Inception" and "Indespicable Me" before my job switch where i will hav no time for anyone anymore...So little time for so many ppl, gosh!
AND I HAVEN'T CONVERT MY RAW IMAGES TO JPEG YET!!! B-U-S-Y!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!

Boredom drives me nuts

Nothing much happened today except some trivial little things tat i am about to share with u guys.

First of all I've turned up my metabolism rate alittle too high today to the point tat i need food every 3hrs, REAL MEAL TAT NORMAL PPL EAT FOR BREAKFAST/LUNCH. I know it sounds really scary but i can't really help it. I guess tat it's my 3rd stage of puberty ba? haha (no extra details to b shared here!).

Then i had a nine-hundred-and-sixty-cents worth of Yong Tau Foo!!! For lunch and dinner tat is (and as i had mentioned earlier, i need food every 3hrs, so my lunch was at 4pm and dinner was at 6.30pm). So freaking expensive for a local delight...

Speaking of which, I've met an ang mo woman (<- notice tat i've used the word 'woman'? tat means tat she is not very young, 30+ i suppose?) who got so thrill with buying Yong Tau Foo and i supposed it's her 'first time'. She was like walking up and down the limited selection of food and asking, "wat's this?" *point point*, "wat's tat?" *point point*. When she was paying up for her meal she was saying, "this is so exciting!". I was thinking to myself back then, "ok...do you hav to b sooooo EXCITED?". Like seriously? It's not like she is eating some exotic bug or something for her meal. Before she was served, she asked the 'chef' (my concept is tat anyone who cooks is a chef) wat kind of broth is she using and the china 'chef' jus replied her, "broth? no no!!". I looked at the ang mo and forced a smile at her and she was like, "hmm, ok... *force smile*". She turned back at me and asked the same qn and i told her it's probably made of pig bones and she was like in a slight shock. Mayb i forgot to tell her tat the soup is made of pig bones boiled in clear water. Wrong interpretation huh? LOL.

Things tat i had achieved today despite by forever b-z schedule(not in order):
-Wasted 3k+ gold on mousehunt
-Slept in the train to and back from work
-Ate 4 meals for today
-Jog around my neighbourhood for 30 mins and 10 secs
-Watched a documentary on National Geographic Wild Channel named "Sex, Drug and -plants" (no birds involved though, only the bees for pollination)
-Watched Toy Story 1 during work
-Refilled 2 x 15 gallons of water for the SGF ppl
-Paste all my receipts (for now) for my taxi claim
-Knocked down a pot of pitcher plant
-Gotten involved with a Yong Tau Foo drama
-Lastly, being late for work, yet again...

yapjx nstd! *pukez* haha

The 'Perfect' IT support

Ended my work later than usual tonite but i guess it's ok since i arrived late this afternoon. And the reason for being late is becos of tat damn bus which arrived late and the bus stop was overflowing with students from the neighbourhood school near my house. Jus when i had planned to reach my workplace early so tat i could take some more pictures...

No doubt the event is pretty interesting but some of the users are getting alittle overboard. In wat way you may ask? I hav jus 'upgraded' to a jack-of-all-trade from my little 'Engineer' title. I was called becos they found a laptop lying on a chair. Apparently the laptop belongs to a staff there and they didn't even to find out who tat belongs to (Engineer to Lost-and-found officer, DIGI-VOLVE!). Later in the nite, i was summoned to assist switch the TV to 'PC' mode since the previous staff whom i hav taught did not pass down the msg and that was the 3rd time i hav to teach them(Engineer to Human size TV Remote control, DIGI-VOLVE!). Lastly, jus before i can leave Suntec, i was asked to assist in some TV setting up thingy. They asked me to connect a laptop to a 32" Sony Bravia jus b'cos some BIG FRY is going to arrive (i guess this is call 'putting up a show'?). Thing was tat they didn't even hav the VGA cable tat will be needed and they were expecting me to hav it, wat am i suppose to be? Doraemon? So, Engineer to Suntec setup crew-cum-Doraemon, DIGI-VOLVE!!! Thus i ended my work 1/2hr later than usual.

I guess soon enough the users will b crazy enough to do things like: "My light bulb burst! I shd call the IT support!", "My washing machine broke down! Wat's the IT Support's number?!", "My baby needs to b breast-feed! LET'S CALL THE IT SUPPORT!!!!!!!". And i had seriously encountered users requesting things tat are out of my jobscope before so i wouldn't b surprise if they really do the things i had mentioned jus now. They don't understand wat we do so they expects us to know everything cos, we are the "IT ppl".

After that i went back with Chee Ping and he told me tat he saw the BIG FRY's car as well as his escorts'. There was a limegreen bengs-ter looking car tat left him puzzled as the BIG FRY is a 'big fry' as the name suggests. i told him tat he needed the 黑白两道's protection; the mafias will handle the mafias whereas the angry mobster will b handled by the polices. lol.

Before i end tis entry, i hav to comment tat alot of things we do are jus for show, no substance but all illusion. People donno the 'truth' cos they are blinded by all the 'visual effects' tat were put up to fool them. That is how shallow ppl can be to only allow themselves to see all the 'beautiful' things. *puuui!*

The hard decision...

I hav officially submitted my resignation letter today. Well, i guess those of u who r smart enough would hav already guessed that tis is my 'little dirty secret'.

Frankly speaking, i never thought that my resignation would b tis hard even though i hav already thought about it for 2 weeks. The worry i had 2 years back pretty much came true. I still remember considering between being a Desktop Support Engineer or a Paramedic together with Janice. She ended up as a paramedic (fulfilling her childhood dream) and i had gotten into wat i am working as today. I told her that i am afraid that i got too complacent with my job now and wouldn't wan to leave and she told me tat tis is not impossible. Now look wat happens? I'm leaving and i'm feeling guity and upset for doing so.

It didn't take very long for Chia Han to text me regarding my resignation after i hav sent out the letter to my agent-in-charge as well as my manager and himself. He was apologising for tis afternoon as he tot tat he was too harsh in words when he called me to ask where was i. I told him tat it was not the case and i didn't take it to heart as it was my fault to report to the workplace late (supposed to report at 2 but i had lunch till 3). I know that i'm 'd s o' (the asshole) who will at times giv him attitute problem but i jus can't help it and i wondered y. Probably he is too soft on us and i seriously think tat he needs to b more stern on everyone since work is work. Moreover, he is our teamlead so he shd show some leadership and 'power' to 'control' his subordinates.

Of cos i felt happy that there are actually people who wanted me to stay but my happiness didn't last long before the huge wave of guiltiness flooded over me. I didn't know y he wanted to apologise when it was not his fault at all. It jus made me feel terrible and i'm hoping i've not made any wrong decision to change job. I can only say i hav always draw an invisible line between myself and my superiors, even in army, tat's y i can't b very close to them...

I had already done wat was so-call irreversible and let's jus countdown and see wat happens next. Going to draw circles with my head facing down starting from today onwards... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The busy weekend (3-in-1 Supermix)

Sat:
I only had like 5 hours of sleep before i was awaken by that annoying but useful alarm of mine. It was a cooling morning and my bed suddenly turned into a seductress that i can't bear to leave. Today is the day that the new batch of docents have their training in the zoo (last week was at Bird Park).

After prepping, i left my house at 8.20 (suppose to meet jimmy at 8.20 though but he was late anyways so i ended up being 'early', somehow). Both of us were like zombies by the time we meet up and had a cab to the zoo.

Shirley was there to greet us when we arrived at the zoo with her homemade marble muffins as well as some pastry by the name of 'Red Velvet'. They are both delicious and i joking asked if i could sell my cookies at her shop (since she is intending to open up her own business).

Jokingly said to jimmy that i was disappointed that there are no young blood in this yrs batch and i think Leong kar overhead that and i was given a disgusted look (he try to make it subtle but i can still feel it). I guess he doesn't really know me tat much yet, or he is always the serious type of guy since he is an officer in military camp or he couldn't take my joke? That makes me feel like a total himbo when i'm around him everytime (i remember asking him when is he getting married again, as i was quoting from the Heidi Klum's marriage example but got the fact wrong cos Heidi Klum renew her marriage certificate every year not getting married with her husband every year).

Didn't know that that day was a whole-day event but i still manage to stay till the evening to support James, the forsaken chairman. The EX-docent committees were running their own show until James 'overthrow' them. Now that they are back with a vengence and they hav decided to let James run the whole training programme for the new batch of docents. They are jus a fugly bunch of ppl. Puuui! At least James is experience enough to handle this kind of situation. 2 Thumbs up for him!

Sun:
The usual morning routine where i drove my parents to the market to get some groceries. And as usual the market's carpark was super duper packed so after getting a few items, we headed to the NTUC supermarket at marsiling mrt station.

Shortly after that we got back home and take our time to get ready for Christy's wedding banquet.

That was the 2nd wedding i have attended this year and both weddings involved people whom i know. Yet again, my grandma was asking when i'm getting married again. Somehow i felt like a piece of product that had been left on the shelf where all of my fellow 'near-expiry' goods are. Like c'mom, i'm still young ok? i'm not tat desperate to get myself tied down yet since i still hav so much more to do, to enjoy in my life.

The solemnization was an interesting one as the groom was saying so much 'i do' that the solemnizer needs to stop him before he can continue to read his 'script'. Well, at least i can see that the groom puts in effort to get married with Christy, not like my bro Kah Lun (sorry to say this but it's the truth), haha.

Mon:
I woke up with a my head spinning due to the ever-always lack of sleep. The wedding banquet ended late due to the bad habit of Chinese Singaporeans who would arrive late during wedding dinners since they thought that others would not b puncture as well. F-U ppl! Not forgetting the little hiccup tat we had when we were waiting for our car.

Went to work as usual but with quite a few tibits to share with my other colleagues, since they might not hav this chance next time, haha. Currently only Chee Ping and Karen know about my little secret and they are kind enough to keep it hush-hush for me. It won't b anymore in another month's time so my dear readers please don't pester me to tell u wat is it. >:)

I had to go over to Suntec for the Garden Fest and THEY HAD FINALLY DECIDED TO SWITCH ON THE AIR-CON!!! However turning on the air-con makes the place even dustier and the hall now is like a cold desert with constant sandstorm. Before that i had a cab drama again where that ERP system on the cab was faulty and the cab driver was frustrated with it. He had asked me to pay the correct amount but i told him that i can only pay the amount on the receipt as it will b used for claiming. He doesn't seem very happy but i couldn't do much either, sorry and too bad about it.

As usual, there were a few hijacks here and there and i managed to solve a tricky issue using 1/2 of my effort and the other by the team lead's. Jun Xian was there to stay till the end until i leave which i can say is very commendable. Initially i still tot that we could leave earlier like 5.45pm but some stupid things happened which i seriously don't understand wat my team lead is thinking sometimes. Hopefully i won't encounter the same thing next time.

Finally ending my million words essay and i hope that this is not too much too absorb. I need to hav less drama in my life. I think i'm seriously starting to sound like b-min alr, omg!

An interesting outing on the 8 July 2010

Our makan outing that some of us had planned for had finally came to an end at 9pm. Initially, it was supposed to be jus a 3-man dinner at Ajisan but after much discussion we had turned it into a 9-man (technically speaking it is pretty much like 4 men, 3 boys, 1 woman and a girl) upsized fun-filled dinner over at Cafe Cartel. Well, at least i think for Ricky that is.

I hav got to say, after being pang seh-ed for so many times, this is the 1st outing this year that i had went out to with so many people. And also, not forgetting that this is the 1st official after office hour gathering for me so it is a good experience. I am so thankful that i hav good colleagues around me in the office despite that many pile of shits that are coming in alost everyday. Day passes by faster everyday with them i guess.

Back to the story at Cafe Cartel, there was this waitress that caught Ricky's eye when she walked pass him jus now and of cos, being such a wonderful colleague (referring to myself), i've decided to do sometime good for him. So i told that waitress that "Today is my friend's b'day and he was wondering if you can take a picture with him, but of cos if u r uncomfortable it's ok." She was kind enough not to reject my request and arranged to complete tat 'task' after when i giv her the cue.

So dinner went on pretty much normally except that my panic attack strikes and i turned red (as my colleagues had mentioned), other than that i felt almost drunk where i had the filling of puking out my 'ribs' (the pork ribs tat i had eaten) when the anxiety was attacking my stomach. Perhaps i need to improve in this field though since i can't really get the shyness away when i'm talking to girls. Come to think of it, when i joined docent a yr back, my group consisted of all girls other than myself. I couldn't talk to anyone since i hav got tis shyness thing in me, so ya, u can imagine rite? haha. I forgot to mention that the girl actually looks like Jamie from ARC (Adventure Ropes Course from Poly), the sad thing was that even after so much effort, Funito decided to 'eat the young grass' by 'standing' inbetween Ricky and Cartel mei, I had seriously tried my best Ricky!

After the dinner and before we leave that place, we had a mini photo session but the photos turned out quite bad. f2.8 + iso800 is good for capturing things in low light but not group pic nor anything tat moves. The DOF was jus too obvious tat it's irritating my eyes; people who where too front/back got blurred out. Saded.

Then we took some photos with Xiao Terence and Karen was commenting that it's almost like Terence is going for some overseas studies and it is really weird. Well, wat she said quite make sense but Terence is kinda of leaving us again since his training starts after 12 when his block leave ends. Probably in SISPEC i guess ba? All the best for his upcoming units. Oh, and he mentioned that the bathroom in Tekong are equipped with doors nowadays so there won't b butt fashion show anymore. Perhaps tis is to prevent any 'accidental intrusion' of the so-call 'shit hole' if there is any soap that drops out of nowhere ba. I shall spare u the details and u r most welcome to let ur imagination run wild.

Lastly, FRIDAY IS HERE!!! Going to the zoo on Sat and Wedding dinner on Sun. My life is jus so damn packed, gosh! How am i suppose to find time to sleep?! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Happy 76th B'day to Grandma!

We had jus celebrated grandma's 76th b'day. The place we had went to was so ulu place beside my grandma's former house. It jus brings back the memories for me since i had spent over a decade over tat area.

I will be having more good food for the entire week: a gathering for my colleague tml at cafe cartel as well as my cousin's wedding banquet this coming sunday. CAN U SMELL HOW THE FATS ARE FRYING?!

Jus to side track alittle. Recently my mom had termed all the guys tat are going out with my sis "bees". I prefer to call them flies instead cos i see my sis as a rafflesia since she always attract weird ppl. This calls for Lady Gaga's "Bad romance". Ra-ra-ra-ma-ma, ga-ga,oo-la-la!

Oh, lastly, grandma was trying to rush me to get married again. I guess i will jus rely on my sis on this until i can find a brunette wife any time soon, haha

The nite tat left me 1/2 deaf

Lately i hav developed highly sensitive ears tat somehow became a bane to me. I shall elaborate on that at the later part.

Firstly, special thx to Joseph and Edgar for coming out tonite for the meetup even though everyone else pang seh-ed. We had dinner at Carl's Jr and movie at Marina Square where we watched "Knight and Day". The movie was pretty good in the sense tat they didn't emphasize to much on the romance but rather on the comedy and action part.

The part tat left me with a very deep impression (*spoiler ahead!!! Skip tis paragraph if u hav not and are intending to watch tis show) was where June (Cameron Diaz) was captured and was 'drugged' in Spain and after tat Roy (Tom Cruise) came in to rescue tat distressed damsel. June then asked Roy tat how come he seems unhappy to see her and Roy did that slow-mo thingy to kiss her was jus too epic. Not forgetting the conversation and the kiss on the plane too!

After the movie we had an hr of walk/talk/chill somewhere over at the esplanade. We were actually attracted by the live band over there tat's y we were till 9.30pm. After which we had a stroll over to Clark Quay where Joseph had his chance to check on the score for tonite's soccer match: Argentina vs Germany. Which apparently the team Joseph had high hopes for had lost. Oh well, better luck in 4 years time. It's not like i watch soccer though but it's jus EVERYWHERE!!! Basically 90% of the ppl around me are now obsessed with this world cup thingy. Be it for hobby or betting, it is still not my cup of tea, too bad.

Joseph was there updating me about camp stuff from his memories until the day he ORD-ed from tat place. Guess those days were long gone for me and i find it pretty hard to keep up alr. Getting old already i guess, or i've already let go of that place long ago?

So the nite ended and we went back home at bout 10+ where i took the transfer-train from Clark Quay to Douby Ghout for the red-line train. The journey back was jus hellish for me. There was tis Indian family where they jus let their toddler girl scream and scream and scream without even trying to pacify her. I was there suffering throughout the entire journey till Sembawang where they finally alighted there. That little girl was like some freaking screaming energizer bunny, i wondered where her energy came from...Before that i can see that the entire cabin of ppl were annoyed by her screams and i swear tat high pitch screaming can do some serious damages to glasswares, human ears and not forgetting the brain (jus in case u were wondering, the train's windows are made of some other material so it won't shatter into gazillion pieces and passengers get to keep their lives by not getting sucked out from the train due to the air pressure if happen so there were no windows in the train). Can u imagine everyone else's brain turned into some gooey stuff and flow out from their ears?! Tat's the kind of serious damage i'm talking about!

I was so annoyed that i hav decided to download one of the app for my htc phone to test out how much decibels of noise (some serious shit noise) that little girl can produce. The reading was 87.9db at peak which i think was seriously not accurate at all. With tat kind of screeching, i suppose it had already reached 100 over decibels which again i wondered y her parents can actually "ta-han" her. If i were her parent, i would tie her up and stuff a cloth into her mouth (jus like how those kidnappers in shows always do to their victims).

Now, i've left with 1/2 of the original sensitivity for my ears, i shall retire to my bed and enjoy the company of my 2 pillows and blanket where they will jus listen to my breathing sound. Nothing more, nothing less. Sleep "tied" everyone!

Revamped on 3/7/10

Decided to change my blog template for the better of all mankind. My eyes almost went blind after reading the words on black background. Hopefully i can get more readers to take a look at my blog, nah, i'm kidding.

Today is the day where they implement the new bus system where they charge by distance-based fare. Up till now i still cannot understand how they r trying 'cheat' our money though. I guess the saying "if you can't fool them, then confuse them" works very well for them tis time.

Today is also the day where i'm suppose to go out for my ECP outing with 6 of my campmates. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, it had been changed to some other indoor programme instead. And even more unfortunately, 2 of the ppl whom had original "Confirmed" their status on going had pang seh-ed, the other 2 didn't reply and the last 2 were kind enough to go for a movie at nite instead. Tat is really very kinda of them though. Weird thing is that i didn't even few pissed. Guess tat i am very much prepared for this kinda of things since 'n' yrs ago. Mayb i am someone who is those person whom friends does not think very highly of ba? Probably i shd go and reflect on myself again soon.

Wonder if the late nite movie trip will materialized or b cancelled pre-maturely yet again sia, -_-"

My First Time...

Today is the day i lost my 1st time to my team leader at work. He had took away the first time that i hav never expect to lose to anyone (or rather expect to lose to other guys whom i shd know better); he had made me ride on his bike...

Truely, tis morning's experience was really one-of-a-kind, so much so i've decided to giv a 6-page entry about it on my blog, lol.

I was told to go to the convention center this morning for a site survey and i basically did nothing other than playing fb on my hp. My mean of transport was supposedly taking a cab there with my team lead but he suddenly suggested that we shd go there by his bike since it's faster by tat way and he politely asked if i'm ok, i mean why not? Jus tat probably my mom would nag at me if she was there during tat time, haha. Oh, not to mention, he said tat he would drive slowly, which i tot that it's more like drive dangerously (more details coming up).

Of cos, i was more entertained than scared during tat time. The few things tat bothered me the journey there was tat 2 guys riding a bike is like having gay sex (i know it sounded crude but it's true), driving 70km/h in a car and on a bike is a total different experience (which i understand y so many bikers died on the road) and lastly i hav had no where to grab on (i swear if i haven't been training up lately, i would hav hugged his waist so as to preserve my dear life). The funny thing was tat i was grabbing his bike boot when leaving the carpark which i hav sense tat it's pretty much a 'wrong' place to grab on so i hav to grab on to the 'side' of the bike. The 2 sides of the bike are not really grips so i felt like the entire journey was a test of strength, cos if i don't grab properly, i will b sliding forward towards my team lead (i will leave the imagining part to u guys and spare all other details).

So after everything was done over at suntec, we rushed back to our usual lunch spot to extinguish our hunger. Jus when we reach the carpark beside the canteen, the rain clouds decided to jus let go of its 'pee'. Good thing was we made it to the canteen with minimum 'damage', bad thing, no umbrella. Even if we hav umbrella we will still get wet no matter wat. The only dry spots u can find on us is probably our hair and underwear (which i don't think u would wanna see though unless u r GSK).

We waited till 2+pm when 2/7 of my colleagues managed to 'kobe' some umbrellas from the nearby office and we started walking back. Due to our previous bad experience, i hav decided to take desperate measures to ensure that my shoes and socks stay dry (or at least 90% dry). *Memories from yesterday flashes thru my brain: the mini amazon river rushes down one of the slope tat i need to take before reaching the canteen flooded my entire footwear. Reached the canteen with 80% wet clothings and feeling cold* So we walked back, bare-footed, jeans rolled up to knee-length looking totally fashionable & glamourous, enjoying the free 'foot reflexology' and the cool streaming rainwater as they run thru our feet.

By the way, the whole office was left more or less vacant after we return by from lunch as they were having some event over at fort canning (hopefully not bbq though or they will hav rainwater marinated every-other-things-that-they-had-prepared and chicken wings). Even though there were not much ppl around, the work still seems to b endless for me. Guess more shits are coming up soon. sianz 2/2.

Met up with Josh after work to pass him back his gf's laptop tat was fixed and he gav me a box of mini eclair-lookalike-thingy BUT MY SIS FINISHED THEM!!! T_T i shall retrieve them back from her stomach when she is sleep. 1st i will need to cut it open and dig thru her stomach of garden salad...

Before i wind this up, i had read quite a few entries of my past posts and they are really entertaining. Time really flies and *poof* i'm alr 24. Hopefully jus like the other post tat i hav blogged since 'n' years ago, by the time when i am 50, i would already hav earn lots of money and had married an ang moh wife, wahahahahaha, i jus sound so himbotic, diaoz

Special post for SISTa

After being inspired by my so-call drama-mama sis, i am now craving for some love. HOWEVER, I AM NOT DESPERATE!

DECLARATION: My apologies to my sis for the potential usage of wrong terms in the next few sentences.

My 'bewitching' sista has once again managed to 'capture' the hearts of several testosterone raging young boys (young boys in my context) and they are vying so hard for her love that they started fighting violently with each other (kidding). Well, her unsuccessful first love had ended pretty much prematurely and apparently the aftermath of the drama is more colourful when she and her 'THE-EX' were tgt, how irony...

She had enlighten me about things i had always tried to decline; BGR. I guess this kinda thing is like a "you-can-run-but-you-can't-hide" issue where sooner or later parents/uncle/aunties/grandparents/friends will b there to pester u to know when u will b getting hitched. As the proverb in chinese goes; "the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor", how well said can tat b?

So after her enlightenment, i guess i won't rule out the possibility of getting married (OF COS NOT AND NEVER WILL B DUE TO ANY 'ACCIDENTS' COS I HATE KIDS!) BUT, not to a Singaporean. I hav seen enough FUGLY Singaporean acts (girls are more pissy) and those are nuff to make myself go blind. Besides, according to world statistics, there are more women than men (approx 60% to 40%), so in the nutshell, GUYS SHD B THE ONE WHO HAV THE RIGHTS TO CHOOSE OK?! MAN RULZ GIRLS BOOZ! <- Too much man ego -_-"

Oh, talking bout world cup, wat's so nice bout it? LOL jus being random here. By the way, 25mins ago was 1st of July. 3 impt events happened during tat day: SAF day (well, WAS impt to me like 2 yrs back?), Gahmen (Mr Brown style) gav us $200 for our GST rebate (which will b returned to them somehow soon) and lastly the replenishment for starhub's redemption vouchers. Speaking of which, i am truely amazed by how efficient Singaporeans can b when it comes to freebies. The staff from Starhub told me the dining vouchers tat i wanted to redeem was fully taken with 10mins after they top-up those damn vouchers. So there goes my Crystal Jade vouchers for the 2nd time. She even told me tat i shd redeem it within 5mins after they top-up the vouchers, which is like 5.05pm, GOSH!

I better get some resting before my sick body gets any worst. Oh, i don't even get to rest on my sick day, i guess shall look into how to blow up my phone soon or else i will b bombarded by those damn calls again even after work. ARGH!
