ok, we are finally dragging our butts to go watch Da Vinci Code this Saturday.
At PictureHouse!
Woohoo!
haa....
=======
"So short can also give up?" Someone asked incredulously.
"Like that you also cannot? You no stamina meh?" Another said with wide eyes.
Knn, yah, I'm a quitter lor...
I gave up halfway...
I am a loser lor...
And as a matter of fact, yah, I don't have stamina lor.....................................................
Happy???????????????????????
Fucked up.
Enough to get me upset all over again.
=======
I am a dreamer.
I like to snoop into my own little fantasy world.
Where I can be myself and what I hope to be.
Where the air is fresher.
Where the grass is greener.
Where the sky is blue-er.
And where the trees are taller.
Escapist? Self-deluder?
It just feels good to hide away...
It just feels good to imagine things...
And fantasise...
Castle in the clouds....
=========
Some people just have a lack of social skills.
Period.
You step on my toes.
Fine, I'll give you a wide berth the next time round.

Suba & lots more...
Think I gotta remind myself in the future...
Not to mix beer & liquor together..Especially on a weeknight..
Checked out Suba last night with TH. The new one at Millenia Walk..
Not very big, but fittings and sofas were kinda cosy...
But the place was freaking cold..Air-con macham dun need $$ to pay for...
I was lucky to have my jacket with me..was huddled in it the whole while..ahha
Lightings were dim..wonderful place for couples looking for some fun..
There was a free show last night..
One couple was canoodling away right in front of us...
Save for the fact that they could have been sued for indecent exposure, I think they would have just stripped there and then.
Took one of my fav concoctions...Lychee Caprioska..woohoo!
Superb..and lotsa lychees in there...I LIKE!!
And how could I forget about good old buddy Heineken..
Stole some of TH's San Miguel as well..
And then voila..this morning..woke with headache..
Me is loser!!!
Like that oso can get headache the next day!!!
Had to pop 2 Panadols to survive the day...
Anyway, ordered fries..and got a shock when it was 8 bucks haha..
But it was very nice...hot n crispy and lightly peppered with some kinda seasoning...*yum*
Wednesday night are ladies' nights.
Free Cosmopolitan Martinis and choc fondues with strawberries...Steady..wheeee!!!
*mind whirls into action...wondering which Wed am I free??*

=========
*wails*
My Tian Tian notion has gone "up the car" (aka...kee chia in Hokkien)
Kok is gg Msia, SK2 got class, XP cun make it, Ah San cun cfm, Sherine is half-hearted....
Waaaaaahhhhhh......only left me n lian...
Next week maybe? hmm...
=========

of break-ups and separations
Just as much as I have been hearing of unions & proposals lately, I have also heard of numerous break-ups and divorces.
Which is disheartening.
Whether or not I know any of the persons involved, I still feel saddened whenever I hear of such separations.
Call me a sucker.
I dunno...was having dinner with TH last night and I found out that two of our sec sch mates have just gotten each of their marriages annulled. One's a guy and the other's a gal.
Both have not gone through the customary rites yet..but legally, they are all married.
And as of this moment in time, legally divorced as well.
I am not one to judge who is right and who is wrong...And I am in no position to do so anyway.
Neither do I wish to know what exactly transpired amongst the couples involved.
I just feel...well, sad that things did not work out for them..
The amount of effort, time, love, money spent....guess things were not meant to be...
And sometimes, short term pain is better than long term suffering...(to borrow a Chinese phrase if I may..)
But for the girl who's husband cheated on her with one of their mutual friends...
I really feel for her...I really do...
To have your trust betrayed..my heart sank...
There ain't no more sanctity in marriage?
Oh, I forgot, I mentioned before, you can call me The Naivete Being.
I still hold on to my naive fairytales and storybook romances...
Sigh..yin and yang? There's to be a balance of everything in this world?
Where there's the rich, there's the poor.
Where there's birth, there's death as well.
And where there are unions, there are break-ups as well.

I am a weather
"You are a Weather." Someone said to me.
(a Jedi knight perhaps eh? haa...private joke for those not in the know..)
Yeah. I kinda like how that sounds.
To use a noun as an adverb.
And this single word sums me up to a T.
I am a weather...hmm...
I'm sunny, windy, cloudy, stormy, thunderous, misty, foggy, fair, bright, gloomy, rainy, gusty, tempestous..
All rolled into one.
Yeah, that's me.
I morph from one weather to the next.
I transit from one to the other.
Or sometimes, when the mood strikes, I stay in one mode for longer than usual.
Yeah, I like how it sounds.
I am a weather.
=)

Forlorn
All is calm
On the surface
The undercurrents though
Are in turmoil
Naked to all
But the discerning eye
Clueless to all
But the sagacious mind
Calmness and control
Rule the day
When one is
In the vicinity of others
When darkness sets in
When the quiet creeps in
When the stillness saunters in
The floodgates open
Rawness envelopes
Shivers wreck through
As wave after wave
Crash onto shore
Anger, disappointment, sadness
The aggregation of vexation
Transposes into glistening jewels
That fall in a tempest of ferocity
Feeble the mind is
Weak the will is
Vacuous the heart is
And tired the physique is
As the much elusive slumber
Slowly finds the being
Yes, slumber brings forth
Much needed respite and escape
On the surface
The undercurrents though
Are in turmoil
Naked to all
But the discerning eye
Clueless to all

When the quiet creeps in
When the stillness saunters in
The floodgates open

Shivers wreck through

And tired the physique is

Singapore Idol 2
My personal favs so far..for those who have gotten to the last 28.
Gals:
Rahimah Rahim - small girl, big voice
Jasmine Tye - there's something about her I like...X factor maybe?
Gayle Nerva - cool chick..lolita-ish...something sensual about her..quite chio
Guys:
Jonathan Leong - Jay Chou look alike...deep rich voice that sends my saliva glands on overdrive...something "bad boy" about him...like his attitude
Hady Mirza - cool guy with strong RnB vibes
Terence Tay - guy next door..lotsa smiles and chirpy eyes...
Just watched the episode just now...
Realised that Malvina got kicked out at the group stage...didn't know she got so far..
Must ask Lydia to help me convey a message of support to her...
Pity they didn't feature her during the interview sessions...sigh...
Argh..but how come Paul Twohill...the guy with the Beatles mop of hair...
He's still in????

Disappointment
Today...is a day of failure and disappointment.
I'm disappointed at myself.
That I gave up so easily and didn't bother trying to hang on.
I dropped out of the relay. When I was halfway through.
Didn't have the guts and energy to hang on.
Compared myself to the other competitors, panicked and gave up.
Climbed out of the pool and well...hid in the toilet to scrub my number markings away.
Disappointed cos I let it all get to me.
Could have finished it...though very slowly lah..
But well, yeah...I freaked out in the pool and in the end couldn't breathe properly.
Was hanging onto the plastic lane markings...then I turned back.
Abhorringly pathetic.
Guess it didn't help when I was in the same pool as Ang Peng Siong and Sng Ju Wei and some other swimmers from the Ang Peng Siong Swimming School.
When they were done with 1 lap, I was only halfway through.
fuck fuck fuck.
I always can't seem to complete things.
Think I might be better off hiding in my corner and being a bimbo.
Personal demons are hard to conquer.
i am sad.

aiyoh..what has happened to my engrish these days??? speaking too much chinese n hokkien perhaps?
Was reading through some of the poems on my blog which I penned down in July last year..
During a time when I felt kinda down and scared of what to expect cos of the op.
Am kinda surprised at myself.
That I wrote all those stuff.
And hmm..that my mind managed to conjure up such imagery..
Kinda surprised at the language used too..
Wonder what inspired the mettle in my brains to spring up such things haa..
Think I'll find it hard to cough up the same type of poems now..
Hmm..my lang has spiralled downwards since that time I think.
Can't seem to garner much inspiration for such prose now.
The following poem was something I posted on my Friendster blog on 18th July 2005 and which I ported over to blogspot on 25th July 2005.....I like it alot..and reading it now just well...whams me...
The Awakening
In the stillness of the night
Silence envelopes me
Loneliness creeps in
Blackness engulfs me
The mind spirals into nothingness
And the heart yearns for naught
Staring at the ceilling
As shadows dance across the bare walls
Huddled under the covers
As sleep eludes me
Seeking the comfort of my own warmth
Finding the hollows of my bed
It comes, finally
Drawing me in its derisive force
Into a land without thoughts
Into a land without worries
Dawn arrives with its usual splendour
As sunbeams kiss me
As new hopes fill me
In a cacophony of sounds
In a kaleidescope of colours
Like a moth emerges from its cocoon
Brand new day, brand new hope
Brand new wishes, brand new fulfilment
Life is tough
But it's not the 'why' that matters
It's the 'how' that counts...

rattles and Xmen!
I seem to be afflicted.
Afflicted with naivety.
You can call me Shell: The Naivete Guileless Being
Haha...result of over-shelteredness and perhaps a preference to ignore certain things happening around me..
=========
Xmen III : The Last Stand
*DISCLAIMER* Am spilling some beans here..
So for those who do not want to know or who have not watched the show yet..haha...skip this section...=)
So sad...one of my fav Cyclops aka Scott Summers...was only a cameo in the show..
Think he only appeared for like less than 10 minutes in the show and then he dies liao. Kaozz....
Wolverine..woohoo!! still as "man" as ever...love the way he raises his eyebrows and his cynical expressions...Hugh Jackman's delicious...hehe
Storm..her hair's better in this show..more chio and figure is still damn good..
Simply "no horse run". But err...dun like it when her eyes cloud over when she's using her powers...abit scary..like macham kena a serious case of cataracts..
Rogue...I still don't really like her...bleah..
Kitty...the one who can walk through walls and objects..hmm..is this a new character in the show? Can't remember..but well, kinda like her innocence and her natural pout...
Mystique...the blue scaly creature, right hand lady of Magneto...for those who have seen the show..WOOHOO!! Simply loved the way she morphed back into a human after being shot by the "cure"...and the actress was simply chio man...not too sure about her name though...
I like her hair and eyes...
Angel..new character in the show...kinda cute actor...not sure of his name again..
Simply cool to be able to fly and soar above others...
Special effects were good...Cool!!
There were the funny comedic moments too.
But overall, don't really like the ending when Wolverine killed Jean Grey.
Sibei melodrama. Sibei cliche.
Phoenix : *evil look* You will die for them?
Wolverine : No. I will die...*pauses for effect. Despite the grave situation and the possibility of getting killed any moment*...FOR YOU.
Phoenix : *appears touched now. emotions wavering.*
Wolverine : *tender look in his eyes. With that beard and fuzz on his face.*
Phoenix : Save me please....
Wolverine : *kerching!! claws come out and stabs her to death*
Phoenix : *shocked look. But then slowly her evil look becomes all smiles as peace overcomes her*
Wolverine : *cries out at the agony of killing his beloved. holds her in his embrace and weeps*
===========
Wanna watch Da Vinci Code next...
Heard it's quite a heavy show though..haha.
Wonder if I'll fall asleep.
===========
Over-sensitivity...
If A goes on leave and goes on a short trip.
And golly, by coincidence, B is also on leave at the same time.
Hmm...the fertile mind starts sowing seeds..and the remote possibility of a story soon unfolds in the mind...
Is it still fertile imagination and over-sensitivity when you discover that actually someone else is having the same thoughts as you about the issue?

To a Cancerian
Please...Spare me with your negativity...
Was this why we didn't work out oh-so long ago?
Or was it the fact that we were just in JC?
Somehow, everytime I speak to you..whether it be on the phone or in person or on MSN.
You reek of absolute negativity...
There's nary a time when we can talk about other happier things or mindless things or crappy things...
There's naught a time when we talk about other things like soccer or Sentosa or food or how Tom Cruise is so overly dramatic about his love for Katie Holmes...
Somehow, it's always...
"Xian ah. Work sux."
"Xian ah. Life sux."
"Xian ah. Nothing to do."
"Xian ah. I'm bored."
"Xian ah. I have no friends."
"Xian ah. I have no gf."
"Xian ah. Nobody wants me."
"Xian ah. Boss sux."
"Xian ah. No time."
A typical conversation on MSN goes like this:
Cancerian : Hey
Me : Hello...
Cancerian : How r u?
Me : *blah blah blah* depending on what has been happening to me.....
Me : you leh?
Cancerian : Xian ah. Sighz...
*starts droning about work, life, no gf, nobody wants him, no friends, nothing to do...*
It's become a 10-yr series list of answers to my question of "How's things?" or "How are you?"
And well, I've learnt to predict your answers already.
There's just that few variants in your pallette of answers...
Ahhhh....I can be quite negative at times already!!!
Don't negate me further!!!!

of marriages and ang baos
Hmm...over the past 2 months or so...
There's been a number of advanced wedding invites already..
So many of my peers getting married...coincidentally all girls...
One in September, one in October, one in November, and another one in March next year...
Time to start saving..
Haha....cos tis the time of your life when such invites will come fast and furious..
And perhaps before I know it, I'll be attending baby showers...
Heard from HR that a programme exec might be looking at a wedding too..
Though she refused to reveal who...
=========
Ahboy just shared a story with me last night..
His ex-colleague..getting married in June.
Totally a changed person after she met this guy.
Gave up smoking and drinking and partying.
Signed up with MOE too (used to be a banker and a stewardess)...
In a way...
Though I don't know her personally 'cept through pictures..and well, I have to admit...from Friendster as well...
Somehow in a strange yet familiar sort of way...I feel happy for her..
For having found that one special person who's able to ignite her life..
Shauna, here's my sincerest congrats to you...and Gabriel...

Don't Break My Heart
Don't Break My Heart
~Power Station~
Been listening to this song over and over again for the past 4-5 days at least.
In the train to work, at work, in the train back to home, on the bus, at home...
Been humming it to myself even...
A jazzy, slow rock piece...found in their Red & Blue Live in Concert albums..
Think these 2 CDs were bought damn long ago...in 1998 or 1999 thereabouts..
I don't know.
From the lyrics to the combined voices of the 2 brothers of the group, to the music arrangement of the drums/bass/piano...
This song just tugs at my heartstrings..
Like how ah lian would describe it...the heart just curls up...
Aka in Hokkien..the heart just "giews"
It's been almost 5 days and I'm still not sick of this song yet...
Listening to it now...
And fuck man. I'm tearing...
~只在乎我爱你...Don't Break My Heart, Don't Say Goodbye...~
Just one of the many verses from the song...

A jazzy, slow rock piece...found in their Red & Blue Live in Concert albums..
Think these 2 CDs were bought damn long ago...in 1998 or 1999 thereabouts..
I don't know.
From the lyrics to the combined voices of the 2 brothers of the group, to the music arrangement of the drums/bass/piano...
This song just tugs at my heartstrings..
Like how ah lian would describe it...the heart just curls up...
Aka in Hokkien..the heart just "giews"
It's been almost 5 days and I'm still not sick of this song yet...
Listening to it now...
And fuck man. I'm tearing...
~只在乎我爱你...Don't Break My Heart, Don't Say Goodbye...~
Just one of the many verses from the song...
The Waiting Game
Wait : to remain or stay in expectation of...
...of things to come...
...of what might be...
...come what may...
...what we wish for...
...what we hope to get...
We spend all our lives waiting.
We wait at traffic junctions, at bus-stops, at taxi stands, to pay for our groceries, to buy tickets for movies...We get put on hold while on the phone..We queue to see the doctor. We wait for that day when we will strike the lottery.
As kids, we wait for the time when we can be old enough to go to school. We wait for the time when we can sip our first drink. We wait for Christmas to arrive. When a school day starts we wait for the last bell of the day. When a school term starts, we wait for the holidays to arrive.
I've waited for my graduation day. I've waited for my operation day. I've waited for others to arrive. I've waited for others to leave. I've waited for my first pay cheque. I've waited for my hair to grow long...I've waited for my driving license. I've waited for that special someone to touch my life. I've waited for special words to come. I've waited for SMSes to arrive. I'm always waiting for answers to my questions...And I ever so often wait for magical moments....
Others wait for their first home together. Some wait for their first grandchild. Some wait for retirement while others wait for their first ride on the plane.
We seem to be always waiting for that proverbial something.
That ubiquitous something.
At times, we wait in vain.
At times, we are rewarded.
At other times, we hang on to blind faith and continue waiting..for how long we might not know.
At times, we wait alone.
At times, we wait with others.
At other times, though rare occurences perhaps?...things and situations wait for us instead.
Waiting...just waiting...
What are you waiting for right now?
I am waiting for..
- the day when I can start driving again...
- my leave to arrive...
- the day when I can take the plane again...
- tomorrow's race...
- something which is not convenient to share in here....but it's something of which I have no control over...
- the answer to my question to him
- next Wednesday's Tian Tian steamboat session!
- the day I further my studies??
- so many other things....
But...perhaps in the light of such waiting-ness...
It's imperative that we still live our life fully...
We ain't wanna miss out on any other things do we?
There's an opportunity cost of pure waiting..
Might as well live things up and do something worthwhile...whilst waiting...
...of things to come...
...of what might be...
...come what may...
...what we wish for...
...what we hope to get...

being a woman is tuff!
Aw man...backache this time round's quite bad..
Couldn't even stand straight when I was out for lunch this afternoon.
Was hunched over...and I couldn't keep a smile on my face for long..haa...
Wanted to go home after the 4pm meeting...
But well somehow, managed to tahan...and it became slightly better..
Tahan till evening..
And met with ahboy for his shopping trip..
Went to Orchard...kaozz...never step foot in that area for the longest time haha..
*cross my fingers*
Hope tomorrow will be better
=========
$#%$%*&^*&#
It's not the first time this boss has written an email to me using such a tone.
A tone of which I don't know how to describe...
Accusatory tone? "Holier Than Thou" tone? "I'm-the-boss-you're-the-small-fry" tone?
Ah well...
Today's email though, short, somehow managed to rile me to the state of me uttering curses...
Shan't waste my time commenting too much on dog shit.
=========
Funkygrad's dynamics has definitely changed...think it will take awhile to build up again..
Somehow the people posting in there are not as active as those from yesteryears..
Hmm...but great to see some old familiar names back in there...like Predator, LesMiz, Egoz, HiLife...

I'm not thinking straight..just typing..see where my fingers lead me to...
Meandering rivers eventually find their way to the seas and the vast ocean...
Fluffy clouds eventually grow heavy...disburse themselves from the skies and find their way to the seas and the vast oceans...
Deltas, streams, lakes, ponds, inlets, rivulets...
They all eventually find their way..indirectly or directly...to the seas and the vast ocean...
To paint a parallel...I suppose...Given time...
All lost souls will eventually find their way to their place of belonging in this world...?
Thing is, how long will it take?
A lake might take years to evaporate, weeks to form a cloud, months to be fat and heavy enough to fall from the sky...and then years again to snake it's way to the seas and the vast ocean...
A lost being will take how long to find his/her place in this world?
Just one of those rhetorical questions whom no one can give me a good enough answer...
Just prolly one of those "There is a time and place for everything" kinda answer...
Ah well...
For the moment...
My place in this world is...
In the nook of your shoulder...
In the embrace of your arms...
In the warmth of your kiss...
Love you baby...
You know I do...

more ramblings...and a serious bane...
Thursday dinner wtih PQ & gang has been cancelled..or rather postponed..
But well...postponed till when?
I dunno...sigh...Give up organising...hah
Supposed to have gone to check out Giraffe at Dhoby Ghaut...
Guess no chance...prolly have to jio others liao..
========
Tis seriously a bane in my heart..
Well at least when I read about these things happening..
There has been some recent reports...that a growing number of women in Msia were being duped into sexual relationships with men who masquerade as bomohs, mediums, fortune tellers, blah blah blah...
The guys would tell their victims that they're possessed and in order to rid of the evil spirits within them....
These ladies would need to engage in a sexual relationship with the bomoh/fortune teller/medium for a certain period of time....
*kaozzzzz* How lame you think...
BUT YET, these ladies actually willingly go along with the idea...
There was one who even paid the bomoh each time he bedded her..
I mean seriously, what the fuck???
And when some discover that it's a scam, some end up only defaming these guys via the papers but don't wish to lodge police charges against them...
I don't understand...I really don't.
Care to enlighten me pls??
=========
Yeah baby
XMEN III this Friday...
Tiong Bahru...
Can't wait to see my Cyclops & Wolverine & Storm!!
=========
My fav black beaded belt has protested against it's over-usage.
On one end..there's a metal hook, which disintegrated...and the metal clasp attached to the hook has also dropped off...
*heartbreak*
Shall huddle myself over it this weekend...
Think my nifty fingers will be able to work some magic on it...
To restore it to its original glory...
==========
JT's review is coming again...2.5 weeks down the road...
*crosses fingers*
The last time I saw him was 3 months ago.
Hope the next one after the next review....will be 6 months down the road...
And then yearly...
Road to ultimate recovery...Slow but Steady...=))
Yeah!!!!
==========
Just got an inspiration...from purpleskies...
Maybe I will ask him too..."Am I brat??"
And see what he says haaa....
==========
My hair's still dripping..
11-plus liao...
Think I need to activate the hairdryer...
Else I won't get to sleep...
==========
Tricia...
The break-up has done her good I suppose?
She's gotten the load off her shoulders and well...I think she's gotten over it fairly well..
Hell, I think she's gotten over it VERY well...
She's practically glowing...smiling, so happy and cheerful..
Hair & skin are both glowing too!!
She looks more radiant than Selin & Ee Hong, the 2 bride-to-bes!!!!
Even jetsetting around to Tokyo, Shanghai & Germany for her job has not taken a toll on her face....ahahha
Chio bu as always..
Always looking refreshed and crisp...
She use biotherm
Me too what...
Ugh....but me no same effect...
*bleah*
But well...postponed till when?

Abit disappointed that I couldn't join the rest for the karaoke session today...
Didn't get to sing my signature song...(note I didn't say swan song...)
But ah well, traded it off for a work-out session...
Went for a run just now...abit punctured after a 2 week hiatus of no exercise...
But hell...it was damn shiok to feel the sweat streaming down my neck..
And yeah, I re-acquainted myself with my running shoes...
They told me they still love me....=)
Despite my absence...
========
28th May coming...
Errr...dunno what to expect...

No, allow me to be crude...they are fucking cuckoo.
Till now, 5 days before the event, we still don't know what time to report to the event venue.
Sighz.....oh well....
========
Finally managed to sink my teeth into my fav potato salad today...
It's odd..
Such a simple combination of potatoes, celery, eggs, chopped onions and spring onions...
Coupled with lotsa dollops of mayonnaise...
Can evoke such wonderful sensations...
Just munching on that plate of kantang salad was enough to leave me and ahboy high...
Had another bowl of mushroom soup...enough to fill our tummies...
Healthy meals today...=)
Totally no fried stuff..not even for dinner...woohoo...
========

This time though, it'll be sans my sweetie...

A bus has been booked for us liao...steady!!
=========
The duckie girls...
Yeah, we all agreed tonight...it's kinda amazing..that we're all still in touch after so long...
We're not even ex-classmates...we're just ex-colleagues...with ages ranging from 21 to 35...
Yet, we've managed to meet up regularly for the past 2 years...
Hell, some of us don't even meet up that often with our own classmates...hahaha....
Had dinner tonight with them at Kenny Rogers Marina Square..
Was supposed to be a full turnout but Lydia couldn't make it at the last minute...so it was just the 6 of us...
The next date's been set...14th July...will mark it in our calendars...

Ahboy's a tired boy today...
Didn't get to speak to him today...supposed to be on early shift today and end at 830pm...
Turned out he OT-ed till almost 10pm...cos something cropped up at the Europe side...
Plus he didn't sleep well last night...Poor boy...
*hugz for you baby*
Think you should be asleep soon...
Miss you lots...
Meeting him for lunch tomorrow..woohoo!
I can get to eat my soup n the potato salad!
==========
Mum just came into the room...pissed off at Dad...
Ok, apparently he didn't do his part in monitoring her shares...and well...made her lose quite abit..
Ok, lemme correct that...she could have won 4 times more the $$ but now she's only earned a small sum...all cos Dad didn't alert her to the fall in share prices...
Sigh....
$$ makes the world go round and round....
And round and round...
==========
I WILL RUN TMR.

===========
Guin's powerpoint is fucking powderful...
Spent like 2-3 hours trying to figure out pivot tables and pivot charts in MS Excel for my ad tracking report...and how she does her analysis stuff...
Ok, call me dumb..but I've never used such analyis tools before mah...so can't blame me right? haha...anyway...it's definitely a worthwhile effort trying to figure it all out...
A one-time effort...but it'll be easier the next time round I do a report...
Ok, the next step is to try n figure out the budget tables she has spruced up for the 2 business units I'm handling...damn...
It's tabled for discussions on Thursday morn..and I'm first up in line to meet her...
*bleah*
Ah Kok, we're talking about your budget here hor...hahaha....
Will try to manage it as beautifully as I can yeah...
===========
Sherine's damn kan cheong...hhhaa

Mum just came into the room...pissed off at Dad...
Ok, apparently he didn't do his part in monitoring her shares...and well...made her lose quite abit..
Ok, lemme correct that...she could have won 4 times more the $$ but now she's only earned a small sum...all cos Dad didn't alert her to the fall in share prices...
Sigh....
$$ makes the world go round and round....
And round and round...
==========
I WILL RUN TMR.
I WILL RUN TMR.

===========
Guin's powerpoint is fucking powderful...
Spent like 2-3 hours trying to figure out pivot tables and pivot charts in MS Excel for my ad tracking report...and how she does her analysis stuff...
Ok, call me dumb..but I've never used such analyis tools before mah...so can't blame me right? haha...anyway...it's definitely a worthwhile effort trying to figure it all out...
A one-time effort...but it'll be easier the next time round I do a report...
Ok, the next step is to try n figure out the budget tables she has spruced up for the 2 business units I'm handling...damn...
It's tabled for discussions on Thursday morn..and I'm first up in line to meet her...
*bleah*
Ah Kok, we're talking about your budget here hor...hahaha....
Will try to manage it as beautifully as I can yeah...
===========
Sherine's damn kan cheong...hhhaa

To go watch Kumar at his new club..Gold Dust in Orchard Towers...
Think he shifted there after Boom Boom Roomn closed its doors...
Wonder if Sufian still dances for his opening act?

When I Love You
Was just doing my work on this lazy monday afternoon when I received this from Ben...
A simple but sweet reprieve from the monotony of work...Kinda like it alot...
Just had to blog it down....
================
Aslyn : When I Love You
When you have to look away
When you don't have much to say
That's when I love you
I love you
Just that way
To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
That's when I love you
I love you...endlessly
And when your mad cause you lost a game
Forget I'm waiting in the rain
Baby I love you
I love you anyway
Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you no matter what
So when you turn to hide your eyes
Because the movie, it made you cry
That's when I love you
I love you a little more each time
And when you can't quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
That's when I love you
I love you more than you know
And when you forget that we had a date
That look that u give when you show up late
Baby I love you
I love you anyway
Cause here's my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Cause that's when I love you
When nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you no matter what
That's when I love you
When nothing baby
Nothing you do can change my mind
The more I learn the more I love
The more my heart can't get enough
That's when I love you
When I love you
No matter what
No matter what...

Operation STEAMBOAT!!
The notion of Operation STEAMBOAT started way back in February.
To be exact, the baby of an idea was conceived on 14th Feb aka Valentines' Day.
We were having a 2 pax mini BBQ session at East Coast Park that night...grilling our sausages, roasting our chicken, chewing on the wings, playing with sparklers, etc...
And then the lightbulbs switched on.. *blink*
Him: Eh, why don't we try having a steamboat session too??
Me: *nods excitedly* yaya, why not? I have the pot and the portable burner!
Both: OK SET! Steamboat it shall be...in celebration of 18th May...! Woohoo! Steady!!
And so 3 months later...specifically last night, we lugged 2 big plastic bags of stuff and trooped down to East Coast Park again...heheh
Things were abit dismal at first when there were hordes of people and no empty tables...small drops of rain were also appearing..
And then voila! *he spied with his little eye*
There was a family who was packing up and leaving...hopped over quickly to "chope" the table...and got down to work!
He scampered off to get water for the soup...and errr...
I had the unglam task of setting up the table...under the scrutiny of 2 couples, one on my left and one on my right...the 4 of them seated comfortably on stone chairs, enjoying the breeze..
Trying to be oblivious to their curious stares...this girl...
See that open packet at the bottom right corner?
With a cube-like thing on it? Hhehe...chicken stock cube for our soup base...Lazy to go boil real chicken stock...
And it was a wise choice to get the tablecloth
Added more flavour to the atmosphere...
And it did real well to cover up the dirt, grime and sand on the stone table haha...
He came back with the water for the soup..and then promptly scampered off again to get insect spray and more water... %$#^&%^*&............And I was left alone again.....
This time round to start the water boiling, the soup base going and the food cooking...
And of course by the time he came back the 2nd time round...some food was ready for his tastebuds!!
Oishii-ne!!
And tada! The aftermath....after all the gobbles and the munchies...Cleared the table of all the food! =))
Some Lessons Learnt:
Steamboat by the sea, under the moonlight, with the sounds of waves lapping at the shore ...=))
Not forgetting the lights from airplanes overhead and from the ships lined up just yonder from the shore...
And the gentle breeze ever so often...
Simply cool! =D
But abit sinful cos we popped by Swensons @ T2 for ice-cream after that hahaa....
Frosted Chocalate Malt for him and Chocolate Freckles for me...

- put up the table cloth (red, white checks...heheheh...$1 only!! disposable from NTUC)...
- took out the 2 gas cans...
- set up the pot and the portable burner...
- took out the ladle, the bowls, chopsticks, spoons...
- arranged the spread of food from fish to chicken to crabsticks to sausages to pork balls to vege to golden mushrooms to bee hoon and finally tofu...
- took out the condiments of soy sauce and chilli sauce...

Ok, you can call me dumb...but somehow I can't seem to flip the pic over to the correct position....It looks okay on my own PC...but when I load it here, it just flips over on its own??
And tada! The aftermath....after all the gobbles and the munchies...Cleared the table of all the food! =))
Some Lessons Learnt:
- Good to bring a torchlight or candles cos we were eating with minimal light....wonder if I happened to chew on any insects which could have dorpped into the soup without our knowing??
- Strong reminders should be given to the person who's supposed to be in charge of bringing water!!!!!
- Make sure your skin is thick enough...to withstand both curious stares from people walking by as well as the weird insects...
