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...
