Both matches last night were so different.
England Vs Portugal
What can I say...England was slow n everything that they did..sluggish...
So many side passes and/or back passes...and half the time, they gave the ball away..
Only Joe Cole bothers to try bringing it upfront when he gets the ball...
Chistiano Ronaldo...cocky SOB..see his face..feel like slapping him.. haha...
And yeah..Portugal's players fall at every slight knock..or sometimes, no knock at all...
Was rooting fro Portugal from the start..though towards the end...
I was rooting for England...cos I thought they played better towards the end...
It was heart-wrenching to see them lose the penalty shoot-out the way they did...
Brazil Vs France
Lovely play from both sides.....flowing, precise passes...
Nifty footwork which was a joy to watch..
Fast-paced...and they brought the ball forward..not sideways or in reverse...
The French were charming...emanating a sense of purpose in their play..Determined..and showe good sportsmanship...
It was a pity the samba kings couldn't finish their set pieces..
One lucky break..and Henry's long legs...were all it took for France to nip Brazil's hopes in the bud...
My hopes
Anyway...I hope..that Germany beats the Italians..
Cos well...don't like the way that the Italians got through to the Quarter-finals...
(Poor Australia..but yeah...the world's beautiful..but there are fucked up days...)
I am hoping it will be a Germany vs France final...
With the French lifting the cuppa at the end...
And with it..will prolly be Zidane's last World Cup?

Geminis
I don't know why but recently I have been quite fascinated by Geminis...
Through observation of the hordes of Geminis surrounding me...I have come to the conclusion that most Geminis have the following traits...
(1) They seem to possess a natural charm that makes most gravitate towards them...they get along with everyone...
(2) They have a strong persona..Not as in a dominating character but rather..they have a good control of their emotions...and are less emotional creatures compared to some other signs..
(3) Expanding on point 2...They are happy people and are seldom seen down and out..Even if they are, they pick themselves up very quickly
(4) Geminis can be practical beings
(5) They tend to be good listeners
(6) They are a confident, gragrious bunch and are always on the go
(7) Geminis are unafraid to speak their mind..they are usually frank and to the point
(8) They adapt quite well to different situations
(9) They are usually witty and chirpy and more often than not..smiley people...
Did a mini research on Geminis on the Net and found that these are some of their traits...
(1) Communicative and witty
(2) Superficial and inconsistent
(3) Cunning and inquisitive
(4) Agile minds
(5) Generous, Affectionate, Impulsive
(6) Boredom and relaxing frightens them
(7) Good at communication
Ok lah..not too bad... haha...quite a close match with those results on the Net..

questions...
Are there any differences between...
Being blunt, being direct and being frank?
Which is worse?
Suaning people on their shortcomings for the sake of seeing them squirm?
Suaning people on their shortcomings for the sake of personal pleasure and entertainment?
Suaning people on their shortcomings....well...just for the sake of it...
Suaning people on their shortcomings...as part of group dynamics and herd mentality..i.e. to fit in with the group..
Which is worse?
Telling others their shortcomings pointblank in their faces..without nary a consideration for their feelings?
Laughing about their shortcomings behind their back?
Is there any difference in the level of sin between...
Thinking about the deed but not doing...
Doing the deed literally...
There is a difference between...
Knowing alot & sharing info with others all the time...even when people don't really care much for it...
Knowing alot but sharing only when it's neccessary...
What do you call people who...
Laugh/Suan/Bitch about others behind their back yet is chummy with them on the front?
Hypocrites? 2-headed Snakes? Forked Tongues? Assholes?
Are there more good guys or bad guys in the world?
Why do most people take good things for granted?
Is it human nature?

.........
Was leaving my thoughts on another site..
That's why the hiatus in here.....
=========
Well...I guess it's true..
Laughter is the best medicine.
Guin lent me the one thing which I've been searching for..
Muahahha...Sex and the City : Season 6 !!!
Got re-united with Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha...
Watched 4 episodes back to back..laughed my head off at certain scenes...
And well..felt much better after that..
========
XP & Lian..brought a smile to my face yesterday too..
Dragged me to the 8th floor carpark again..
And presented me with a big red plastic pair of lips...(was filled with some kinda shower gel)..
And also a pic of the 3 of us...prettily encased in a pink photo frame.. haha..and happily colour-equalised by XP..
Super guniang...
But yeah..it wasn't Lian who got the gifts...it was XP..haha
Took some silly pics there...before heading back to office...
========
It's been a fast-paced day today.
Meeting. get back to desk, run off again to do something.
Come back, sit down, get up again. Blah blah blah....
Think it'll be the same till the next week.
Was quite pissed in office today.
Somehow ended up in the meeting room with Guin..both of us bitching away..
Well..nah...maybe not bitching..more like...
Being exasperated with some of the way things are done..and how some things are going..
But she's good..even when she's pissed...
She's still smiling..haha...
========
My appetite's back..
And the one thing I chose to stuff myself with today during lunch..turned out to be a bad choice..
Earth Kitchen's Macaroni with Chicken Chop..
Super bland.
Had lotsa soya sauce with it..to make it taste better...
========
Meeting up with Joyce, Gail & Ling tommorrow..
Gal's night out.... =)
========
Forgot to wish Jackson yesterday..
Wished him today and he called me back..albeit a few hours later in the afternoon
Sounded sibei blur...
Him : *groggily* Hallo?? Ni Shi Shui??? (Hallo?? Who Are You???)
Me : Har? Michelle lah! Ni Bu Shi You Wo De Dian Hua Meh?? (Har? Michelle lah! Thought you had my number??)
Him : Orh..aahhh...that day my phone spoil lah! orh thank you ah..thank you thank you...hahahaa
Me : okok...no probs...
haha...
========
Happened to meet MJ at my bus-stop just now.
Piangzz..he really is rounder...much rounder...hmm...
========
Am somehow quite motivated to read these days...
Am onto my 3rd book...currently reading "The Last Templar" now...
Hmm...am onto my 30-something page now..and it kinda feels like a spoof of The Da Vinci Code..
Haha..think I've influenced Lian.
To my horror...she walked into office yesterday clutching a book to her chest...haha...
Terribly unlike her... haha...

bluer than blue
I have not eaten.
Not since lunch time yesterday.
Unsurprisingly. I am not hungry.
Only thirsty.
Considering the tears I have expensed.

friday friday friday
Had dinner with ahboy at a Thai restaurant in Boat Quay.
Didn't feel like going home on a Friday...so ended up jioing Kok & XP for drinks and soccer-watching...
After walking ahboy back to his office where he was to slog the night away...I headed back to the area and loitered for awhile till I found seats at Harry's Bar.
Plonked myself there and waited for Kok's arrival.
XP joined us much later...
Nothing interesting. Spain Vs Saudi Arabia.
Kok & I were looking at a 2-0 or 3-0 score...kaozz..only 1-0 in the end! Bleah...
Tokked rot, gossiped, munched...
===========
It was a heady day in office. Stepped in, barely warmed my seat and had to go for a meeting.
Then it was another meeting. And then another.
Back-to-back-to-back.
And then rushed off for lunch with the rest...Kok's turn to blanja..
Went Soup Restaurant at Suntec. woohoo..my fav Samsui Ginger Chicken..yumyum...
Food was great...11 of us...
Back from lunch, and hung around while Brian fixed my PC. Did lotsa scanning...
And then it was another meeting.
Did some work for awhile...
And then it was another meeting!!!!!!!!!
^&*&%$(%&*
Macham Friday's the designate meeting day...

Argh.
Kena arrow to do presentation for staff meeting.

===========
Zombified.
Signing off now.
Just dozed off in front of the PC...dang...

Of marriages and doubts...
Just found out recently through Friendster that Ah Ger has ROM-ed..oh wow. Happy for her. Though cheesed that I have to find out this way.
Just found out through Friendster too that Kok Meng & Shujun have ROM-ed too...great...they look really happy together...
And there's another friend. Getting ROM-ed but well..getting the jitters about it..he's the guy.
I don't know the details but I think he's not really ready for it..just that it might be a family pressure, peer pressure kinda thing.
And well, given the length of time they' ve been together, people ARE expecting him and his gf to get married eventually...
I don't know. Is he marrying cos he wants to or cos of the general expectations of others?
He was so perplexed by the whole thing...so confused and unsure...
Till he went wandering the streets alone and went drinking alone...
It's a sad thing..
To be unsure of whether the path you are taking...will eventually lead to your own happiness or not.
There was a talk show on TV....questioning the values of marriage and what it means to the young people of today.
Some say it's just a status, it's just a piece of paper. Not happy? Fine, burn the paper, chew it, swallow it. Voila, marriage no more.
Others say it's a union of souls, it's a committment to each other.
Some say it's a neccessary undertaking to give the woman a respectful title, given the conventions of society.
Others say wtf? The sanctity of marriage is falling into an abyss.
I say.
Marriage...should be entered into only when both are absolutely sure of what they want to give to each other.
It's a tangible representation of well....the committment, responsibility and oath each party sets to the other. In sickness and in health. From now till forever.
Do I sound cliche and old-fashioned? Yeah, perhaps, perhaps.
How do you know if he's the one? someone asked.
I just know. I answer.

just bathed...
I smell delectable.
I smell of strawberries.
Woohoo!!
Hahha...bought this tube of strawberry body scrub more than a month ago and only just used it for the first time. =)
Not that great a product though..the grapeseed one which I got for him was much better...
==========
Tis the time for planning our trip..
Gotten a recommended tailor store liao..just have to figure out where exactly it is..though apparently it's within walking distance..
We've allocated this Saturday evening to plan our itinerary in both places liao..
haha...from MBK to tailor..to Pratunam & Jatujak..ahah...and of course, 4-faced buddha...
Yeah baby!! Here I come!!!
Wheeeee.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
==========
I realised.
That it's getting harder to not judge people.
It's not a good sign...hmm..

scatter-brained...
Damn...Taz!!! You sent me a virus!!!
For those reading this..if in turn I sent you something via MSN as well...am so sorry...
I couldn't control it..paiseh...
*cross my fingers*
Hope my laptop hangs in there..
Am getting Brian to help me do a backup just in case anything happens...
kok, paiseh yah..
shucks...cun sleep tonight..still paranoid...hope my lap is strong!
==========
Hmm...Was doing some work on Monday when suddenly I got a call from Yvonne.
Yvonne...one of my previous vendors. Half the boss of a creative agency...
Interesting. I just received my first ever headhunt call.
Job offered? Account Manager.
Job scope? dun really like though.. haha..account servicing..I'm the client now..wonder how I'll take it if I'm on the other side of the court..
Pay? Better..but not much better...
Perks? Din wanna tell me but my guess is it's not much
Environment? Hmm...on the facade, seems like an okay place to be in..but wonder why Andrea left the place...
Prospects? Tried dangling a vague carrot in front of me..said that the company's expanding into China...as it is currently they're setting up a branch in there...said if I do well, there might be chances to go there...and the key word is M-I-G-H-T.
Hmm...interesting..interesting...
==========
Haven't been buying any matches lately..or rather for the past week.
Somehow decided to just lie low.. haha
Or perhaps the novelty of it has worn off and the risks are now higher as the competition heats up...
==========
Mum & Dad have come back from Japan..came back on Tuesday night..
In a way..kinda miss the solitude that I had when they were abroad...
Miss bonding with myself..haha
==========
Work is still busy...
And sometimes irritating..y so?
Well..it happens when you do something..but another person (let's call this character XXX) steps in right at the end and takes the so-called "glory" of it.
And for those not in the loop of things, they'll think..wow...XXX did a good job!!
Ah lian and I were just talking about it today.
It's happened to us both already...and we're abit cheesed off by it.
==========
Lian and I were rushing out some reports for Guin yesterday...for her presentation during the mannagement meeting..
Though we nearly tore our hair out by the rush and the complexity of the reports..
On hindsight..I think we learnt a lot... haha...
Graphs, charts, analysis, pivot tables, pivot charts .... (do I hear LTK sniggering in the background? haaa...)
man oh man...
==========
Was consolidating the management profiles for a project...
Wow...the credentials of most of them just blow my mind...
==========
Heading to town this Saturday with ahboy...hmm..gonna chk out the LV bags and see which design I prefer.
So that he can have a better idea what to get when he goes Milan.
Hmm...freaking ex. Gonna cost a bomb.
Not too sure if I wanna go ahead with the idea...

in the midst of brazil & australia match...
Yeah...our trip is confirmed..
7D6N..Phuket and Bangkok...
Taking a whole week's worth of leave...
High time.
This trip has been delayed for more than a year... =(
Finally!! *rubs hands in glee*
kekkeke....
Excited...Excited
(Though abit disappointed that I can't go Switzerland...)
=========
Hmm...Just realised Red Biscuit's has started a new blog...again.
www.bitchingjudas.blogspot.com
hmm...wonder if he's okay...something very different in his writings...
Extremely reflective...
Coherent and well thought through..
Hmm...kinda different from his usual style...
What happened I wonder...
=========
Went Momo on Friday with Lian, XP & TH...
The crowd was dismal..*yawns*
And there was this dumb event going on...Robin Leong was the host..
Hmm...seems he's been relegated to doing such stuff??
Anyway, it was a contest...of pole dancer wannabes...
Some gals were strutting their stuff on the makeshift stage..some were hot..others were well...hmm...wannabes...
Couldn't stand the place any longer..so we all tropped down to Zouk instead...haha..should have gone there right from the start...
Blogspot is extremely uncooperative again today...can't seem to load up the pics...
>:(

*grunt*
Excellent save by the Japan keeper...of the penalty shot by Croatia...
haaha...told mysel beofre the match..that it'll be a draw..and wahey..it really was a draw...0-0
Damn..lost last night's match..Italy Vs USA...
*growl*
=========
Went Botanic Gardens for lunch with ahboy today...and then voila..met Jen there..haha
Who was trying dilligently to read up on her Christian book for her Bible Class Assignment..
Anyway..made friends with some ducks...muahah...and some terrapins
Popped by office after that...supposed to collect my laptop and then head home..but somehow...
ended up staying in office for the next 4 hours...
=========
It's actually kinda nice to go back to work on a Sunday.
It's just you and your computer.
No noise, no distraction, no dumb interruptive phone calls...
Was apprehensive at first...cos I've heard of some "goose-bump" type of stories form others about working alone in the office...
But nah..nothing of that sort..haha
Had the motivation and disinfected my whole cubicle..
Wiped everything within my territory that I could lay my hands on..
The dettol smell was reassuring somehow or other..haha
I think in the back of my mind...I was imagining the ants suffocating or roaches fainting..haaa..
===========
Took a small detour to Tampines Mall after leaving the office...and well...
Bought some stuff...nothing much...just ended up $100 bucks poorer.. haha
On facial mask, a pair of shoes (love the high heels!!) and a black cut-off cardi which I've been trying to find!!...
Went home, lugging my laptop...bloody heavy...
And 2 shopping bags...
Cooked fried bee hoon for dinner today...
=========
Hehe...cooked dinner for ahboy yesterday...
Hmm..lemme what was on the menu?
Watercress soup with red dates
Baked salmon with asparagus and golden mushrooms in butter teriyaki sauce
Egg tofu with baby corn and meatballs
haha...good attempt..except that the salmon sauce was kinda salty...
=========
Mom called on Friday night and just now.
Enjoying themselves immensely ...
Currently in Tokyo...
But heard the things there are god damn ex.
$17 for a pack of snacks...*opens eyes wide*
Simply daylight robbery!
haaha...told mysel beofre the match..that it'll be a draw..and wahey..it really was a draw...0-0
Damn..lost last night's match..Italy Vs USA...
*growl*
=========
Went Botanic Gardens for lunch with ahboy today...and then voila..met Jen there..haha
Who was trying dilligently to read up on her Christian book for her Bible Class Assignment..
Anyway..made friends with some ducks...muahah...and some terrapins
Popped by office after that...supposed to collect my laptop and then head home..but somehow...
ended up staying in office for the next 4 hours...
=========
It's actually kinda nice to go back to work on a Sunday.
It's just you and your computer.
No noise, no distraction, no dumb interruptive phone calls...
Was apprehensive at first...cos I've heard of some "goose-bump" type of stories form others about working alone in the office...
But nah..nothing of that sort..haha
Had the motivation and disinfected my whole cubicle..
Wiped everything within my territory that I could lay my hands on..
The dettol smell was reassuring somehow or other..haha
I think in the back of my mind...I was imagining the ants suffocating or roaches fainting..haaa..

musings...
It's uncanny..
For the past few days, all the match scores I've predicted have come true in reality...
So much so till Andy has taken to asking me for my "feeling" before he places his bets...haha
Tonight's no exception and I tagged along on his bet for tonight's match of Ecuador vs Costa Rica..
And I'm richer by $50..haha...
Shall not get too complacent though..
=========
ST has started some kinda portal...cun remember what it's called..
And they invited Dawn Yang and XiaXue to be guest bloggers on this site..
EEEWWW....
Can't they get Blinkmummy? Who's less bimbotic?
Or perhaps even Mr Brown or Miyagi?
Tsk...
==========
Gosh..I'm really hooked on The Time Traveler's Wife..
It's f*cking my mind man...
Was reading it on the train this morning...and started tearing when I got to a really sad part...
So paiseh...but just couldn't control..
It's so beautifully written...You can really emphathise with the characters...
You feel as if you know them personally..
Doesn't help it that most of the time, it's written in 1st voice..so you feel like as if you're them.
=))) left a few more pages to go only...shall keep it for the weekend...dun wanna tear in public again....
Will start on The Templar once I've done gobbling up this book..
=========
It's weird..when mum & dad are not around, I stay at home a lot more...
I've stayed at home on Mon, Wed & today...
It's nice..to cook your own dinner...and just vege out in front of the TV...
It's nice to strut around butt naked in your home..without a care on the world...
It's nice to well...just be solitary...
=========
Times spent are few and far between
Cursory chats don't seem to do it for me
Genial dinners ain't the way too somehow
Guess I have to learn...that perhaps quality ain't akin to quantity
It's the quality that counts, not the quantity...
But it's tough to learn...
It's tough to learn...
Transitions and adaptations are difficult...
Sigh.
=========
Work is piling
=========
Targetting to go on holiday this July...week of the 10th..
Yeah...finally...my 1st flight ever since 1.5 years ago...

zzzzzz....
Something weird happened last night.
I'm not sure whether or not to call it a bad dream cos it seriously felt like it was reality.
I know my eyes were closed.
But yet, in a strange kind of way, it seemed like I was simultaneously awake as well.
I remember feeling very very flustered, very very perplexed..heart was palpitating..
Almost to the point like as if I'm gonna pass out from over-anxiety...
I remember trying to open my eyes yet somehow couldn't.
And I remember trying to tell myself to calm down..
Telling myself that it's just a bad dream..
I dunno..it's freakish..
Panic attack maybe?
But when I awoke this morning...I still felt unsettled...
=========
haha...Enigma MSN-ed me just now on his way home...
He's got an interview next Monday! With Meritus Mandarin...
Doing training development and conducting training for them...
He's kinda excited.
Funnily, I'm kinda excited for him too!
=========
Was watching the match between Aust & Japan just now...
Kaozz..Fantastic comeback by th Aussies...Simply fantastic..
There seems to be many unexpected results in these few opening matches of the WC.
haa....
The Aussies were 1 down for most of the match till the 84th when they equalised. and then miraculously, they were up 2-1 in the 88th minute and then woohoo!! 2 minutes into stoppage time, they had their 3rd goal...
End result 3-1 to Australia...
Their 1st time back in the WC finals since 32 years ago..haha
=========
Had my review with JT this morning.
Yeah, time flies, it's been 9 months since the op.
Let's see...Waited for about half an hour, went in & sat down.
You ok? *nods*
Got any headaches? *shakes head*
Everything fine? *nods* so far so good
Any pain? *shakes head*
Any fits? *shakes head profusely* choi choi choi..touch wood *smiles*
Back to your normal routine? *ponders about the cheong & the jogging sessions* *smiles* yeah..back to normal
Well then...ok! That's good...*makes an action of closing my case file*
err..can I fly? *nods* yeah why not?
errr..can I start to drive again? *nods again* yeah, it's fine
*smiles* *smiles back*
Well ok then..everything seems fine! *nods*
You've been off the medication for 3 months...all's well. *nods in agreement*
Hmm...see you back in 6 months time! *hoots internally* *woohoo*
Yeah...!
Hmmm...ok...so it's time to relearn my driving again...after a 1.5 yr hiatus...shit...How to park ah?
But well...sigh...he advised me to go for short haul flights 1st before embarking on long haul flights...
My Switzerland trip is a doomed idea.
Kinda disappointed...yeah...disappointed.
=========
Was working till late today..left office at 9pm..and yay!
Guin gave me a lift home...
Kudos to bosses who live in the East!
Yeay baby!! Eastie kids rock!! =)))))
=========
Fabian called this morn again.
Used his home phone so I didn't recognise the number and picked up.
Asked me out for lunch.
Said I was in a meeting and hung up. (ok, so I lied. I'm a bad girl.)
=========
Yay..meeting ahboy for dinner tomorrow...=)
Tomorrow..please come quick!
=========
Ok, gotta go Ulu Pandan CC at 10am tomorrow for a meeting on a possible collaboration...
Best if I go snooze now...else tomorrow zombie again...
Tata to the world!!
Princess Shell shall take her leave now...*curtsies*
Till then!

Me, Myself, Solitude & I
I am restless.
I am a paradox.
I seem to be full of energy and also none.
I slip and slide.
I flip and turn.
I leap out bed finally.
I grill some taiwan sausages.
I gulp down a glass of milk.
I fill my tummy.
I go back to the room.
I walk out of it again.
I park myself in the living room.
I sit in the darkness.
I ponder and I think. About everthing and nothing.
I am one with the solitude.
I flip the switch on the TV remote.
I channel surf and the flickering images bring some momentary distraction.
I watch Oprah for awhile and as I sit in the still blackness.
I realise I am not really listening to her.
I flick the TV off again.
I sit there again as my mind swarms with things and emptiness.
I think about a gazillion number of things.
I think about zilchness.
I get up and go back to my room.
I switch on the PC.
I am here now.
I am tired but I am not.
I want to sleep but I cannot.
I will log off now and I will try again.
I am still restless though, very much so.

The furrows of my mind...
Once upon a time
A princess met a prince
And from thereon
They spent many a happy day
Meadows they walked
Beaches they swam
Meals they spent together
Backs on grass, many a star they gazed
Love and comfort they felt
Laughter and gaiety they exuded
Hand in hand
As they conquered the world
One fine day though
Wandering through fields of peonies together
The princess turned
To find her prince gone
My Prince! Wherefore art thou?
She cried desperately
The path she backtracked. Searching, just searching
Round and round in circles she went
Sobs racked her frame as she searched
Fright, despair and loneliness gripped her
Like tendrils of vines curling around trees
Threatening to suffocate her
Rolling clouds approach and the skies turn dark
Thunder reverberates in the distance
As she stumbles upon the hint of a castle just yonder
She heads there, convinced her love is within
A gate there is, rusty and locked, and partially covered by weeds and tall grass
She stares at the looming tower just ahead
And spies a figure hovering behind the window of the tower room
Cobalt Blue! The colour of his coat!
My Prince! Let me in! Why did you leave me there?
She cried out heartbreakingly
The figure shook its head, still standing by the window
Why? She did not understand, could not comprehend
The floodgates open as the skies start to weep with her
Bedraggled and drenched
She holds onto the gates and tries to open them
But in vain, it was all in vain
The wind wraps around her
The pelting rain cascades down
She tries again and again, prying the gates with her bare hands
Finally she gives up, exhausted and raw
Defeated, a black rock nearby she seats herself on
Crying silently, tears interspersed with rain
Why? She asks herself
Comprehension eludes her
Her arms around herself she wrapped
Blue with cold her shivering lips are
She sits there quietly, rocking to and fro
Waiting...Just waiting

World Cuppa
Last night's England match was a pain to watch.
Sigh..won Paraguay by a goal to none.
Yet, glory wasn't well-earned.
It was Paraguay's own goal that earned England their 3 points.
They had so many shots at goal. But somehow couldn't convert them into something.
Lampard was only lambasting his shots straight at the keeper.
Joe Cole was selfish and only knew how to dribble n dribble but not pass to others.
Beckham was kinda punctured after awhile...
Crouch was well...just a tall guy strutting about on the field.
Owen was well...a lost child strutting about on the field with the tall guy.
In a way, I think the ref from Mexico was a tad biased against the Englishmen.
Ah well..Hope they play better in the next game..
Trinidad & Tobago Vs Sweden...
Haa..officiated by a referee from SG! Woohoo, our own guy officiating a WC match..
Steady...one of the only 3 Asian refs chosen as an official.
I think most peeps would have been rooting fro Sweden..Hmm..somehow I was rooting for the underdogs. Their debut in the WC finals...
Their keeper's good...Easily the guy who kept T&T afloat..Think he blocked off almost 10 shots on target from the Swedens..
Holland's playing later...get ready my chips and juice...
*plumps up my chushions*
yeah...=)

yada yada....
Some amusing comments received over the past few days...some amusing situations too...
Thursday afternoon, whilst munching on pizza with the rest. There was music in the background and I was happily bopping to the music...Guin says:"Eh, you look like the clubber type!"
Saturday afternoon, at the CDAC roadshow in Woodlands. Was lunching with one of the temp staff and she asks which JC I'm from but she answers on my behalf. "You're from Raffles JC is it?You got the RJC look!" I went like "Huh? Got RJC look one meh?"
Saturday afternoon at the same roadshow. This guy from PSB Academy was staring at me. I stared back but turned away when his gaze got too..erm...overpowering..haha...caught his gaze later again. And this time, he shouted across to me, over the heads of numerous people in between us.
"Eh, you look very familiar leh!!! Where have I seen you before??" Kaozz...to be frank, I found him familiar too..but he didn't have to shout like that mah!! People were turning!!

thoughts
The Time Traveller's Wife is proving to be a worthwhile buy.
The plot is simple.
Yet absolutely gripping in its entirety.
I read it on the way to work on the MRT.
I read it on the way home on the MRT.
I read it on the bed, on the couch, in the loo.
Dang, the story's good.
Touching too.
Purpleskies loves the book too.
And yeah gal, it does remind me of you and him.
Interestingly so.
========
Specially to Chloe & Jenice.
Hang in there yah...
Take care and God Bless!
Hope to see you gals again soon...very soon actually...just a few days later!
Miss your smiles and laughter..
========
My MSN nick for today reads as 'Sardonica...the frumpy maid with the foolish heart".
And my sub-nick reads as "a minute gesture it may be..but it hurts"
Chloe asked me.
Why the frumpiness?
XP asked me.
Are you okay?
Hmm...well...to answer both.
Felt frumpy in the morn. Like an old maid. Like I'm the nerdy sidekick standing next to the chio prom queen.
And well, am not that okay today. One of those days again.
========
Was at 6th floor in the evening updating Kok abt the proposed ESS roadshow.
Met SK2 at the lift lobby whilst on the way up to 35th floor.
And yeah man, am impressed with his complexion.
Darn...I need to do something man.
What with all these 30 yr-old men running around looking like they're 25 and young and nubile.
(that includes my prince and yeah..you too as well Kel)
========
Seem to realise that I like making things with my hands..
And day-dreaming rather than doing proper work..
Spent a fair bit of time wrapping lucky draw presents and doing up placards for tomorrow's event.
And I like it immensely...more so than doing work proper.
haa...
========
The organisation has lost the cosy feeling already.
With so many names being added to the HR list in the last 8-10 months or so.
The cosy feeling has been diluted...
People don't know each other that well anymore except within their own cliques.
Ah well...natural progression I guess..
As an organisation grows...
It's inevitable..
========
One of my rental customers called me up today.
Fabrice Marie.
Thought it was a lady all along.
Turned out to be a French man. At least I think his accent's French.
Whoa....was kinda smitten by the sound of his voice man...
A special drawl to his voice and a tinge of locality in his speaking.
Think he might have been here for quite a while to get that hint of locality in the twang of his voice.
Oh well, hope he calls again. :)
hee...
=======
Don't think I've got the energy to watch the WC opening match..
Tomorrow gotta wake up early for the roadshow.
TMD Woodlands somemore...the other side of the island...
Grrrrr.....
Better gear myself up for the battlefield man...
Last week...some other colleagues kena bully by over zealous competitors who were out to snatch our customers...
Grrrrr....
Gathered more comrades for tomorrow's event.
We're out to bite. Yeah!

Think he might have been here for quite a while to get that hint of locality in the twang of his voice.
Oh well, hope he calls again. :)
hee...
=======
Don't think I've got the energy to watch the WC opening match..
Tomorrow gotta wake up early for the roadshow.
TMD Woodlands somemore...the other side of the island...
Grrrrr.....
Better gear myself up for the battlefield man...
Last week...some other colleagues kena bully by over zealous competitors who were out to snatch our customers...
Grrrrr....
Gathered more comrades for tomorrow's event.
We're out to bite. Yeah!
my friday night...
I seek solace.
I find only temporary ones.
I seek relief.
Yet it comes not to me.
In the evening.
I chat with Kok for awhile.
His musings cheer me up aplenty.
But the respite is only for that while.
I seek out my prince for dinner.
Seeing him brings me up a notch.
But the buoy is transient.
And I sink again after I leave him to head for home.
Walking in the slight drizzle.
Plugged into my mp3.
I am oblivious to the surroundings .
Intent only on reaching my destination, the MRT.
A wave of melancholia sweeps over me.
Magnified by the sentimental verses ringing in my ear.
And intensified by the solemn night of pink skies
I feel a surge of unwanted tears, rising up behind my eyes.
This is insane I say.
To feel this way.
This is not the way.
Get a grip, girl, get a grip.
It must be tiredness.
It must be disorganisation.
It must be the weak mind.
And it must be the weak will.
I seat myself on the train.
And I bury myself in my book.
Still plugged into my mp3.
As I chug-a-chug home.
I find only temporary ones.
I seek relief.

Fabian.
This here is a guy. 3 years my junior.
Who has the honour of being absolutely the only person in my entire life whom I've berated.
He is the only person in my whole life whom I've screamed and ranted at (both in person and over the phone) cos I was so fucking pissed at him.
Let's zip back to 2002. Not so far back actually but I've mentally blocked him out of my mind so much so that it's only a fuzzy picture now about how I got to know him.
I think I first got to know him when I was working for a tie shop..like a sales promoter that kinda thing. I had a promotion going on an an atrium and he was from Timberland..his stall being next to mine.
Shall not go into details about how and why I was so god-damn pissed at him.
But yeah. I was A-N-G-R-Y.
And to be frank, I think I've never been so pissed off in my life.
Apart from that huge quarrel with my parents. I think that was the only other time I've ever been so pissed off.
And the time when he irked me off big time was back in '03 I think.
I remember me storming off and shunning him.
I remember him calling me frantically to apologise.
I remember screwing him over the phone. Shouting and ranting for 10-over minutes.
I remember telling myself that I will never ever speak to him again.
And never ever be anywhere near him again. Let alone have a meal with him.
And after that incident, I refused to pick up his calls and if he called from a private number, I would hang up on him.
And well...on this day, 2-over years later. He has appeared again.
Called my mobile whilst I was in office. It was 6-plus.
It was a number I didn't recognise. Thought it was one of my rental clients and picked up the call.
Turned out to be him.
Well well...what a surprise. Mr Fabian has appeared again.
Asked me how I am doing and whether I was okay to do a meal with him.
Had less than 5 mins of small talk with him and brushed him off.
Will I do a meal with him?
Right now at this point in time.
It's a no-no. Though I don't exactly know how to brush him off.
Time didn't really wash away the irritation I have for him.
I'm okay if we just speak over the phone.
But as for meeting up. That's a different story altogether.

man oh man...
I am impressed..
GKT..General Knowledge Trivia...
When XP gets into his GKT mode...my jaws just drop..every single time.
From what fruit/root/vege a liquor is made of....to the origins of the song Sweet Chariot...to the classifications of music...to the throes of religion...to the slangs of Englishmen...blah blah blah...
XP has it all..packed up in little neat scrolls of knowledge...tucked away into some obscure corner of his sponge brain...
And I mean sponge brain in a good way...he just sucks in info...and when you just nudge him a little or squeeze him a little...the info just overflows out of his gab man..
Simply impressed...
And of course..his kantang-ness..what more can I say?
Engrish sibei powderful...*kowtows*
========
I am not looking forward to the weekend this week.
Kena roadshow this Saturday all the way in ulu Woodlands...
And preparations are still half-past six...
Damn..won't enjoy Friday night's World Cup opening match..
This week is gonna be a mad rush...from customer testimonials to corporate sales kits.
From roadshows to brochures. From ads to ISO.
Yes sir, you get the drift.
Hmm...wondering if I should go for a dip on Sat after the roadshow?
========
Lao da still owes me my doll! My cartoon doll which he designed from an online webby...!!
I want my doll!!!
And it'd better be a chio one hor...=p
========
It's weird...that I only just realised...that I get along well with quite a number of Geminis..
Lemme see..Chiewz, Kel, Lian, Siva, Jen, Guin, Beh Beh...
========
It's the Great Singapore Sale once more.
Hmm...I have never ever been excited about the GSS. I wonder why.
Lian, Sherine & Siva are talking about this sale and that sale, how many percent off and buy how many get how many free...
Err...shit...but it's out of my league...
Yeah, I'm not like other girls (and in some rare cases, guys) who go ga-ga over shopping...
Ain't really a shopping person...dang, am I getting boring?
Ask me to shop once in a while ok lah..but I won't actively seek out bargains and/or take leave just to shop like what PQ & TH are gonna do on the 19th..haha..
And sometimes I wonder how a person who earns less than me...seems to be able to buy lotsa stuff all the time. From shoes to bags, to clothes, to laptops, to accessories and now...there's the notion of a car involved..
I'm like...har? Sibei rich man? You're studying and yet you also have so much $$ to spare..
You're earning less and dang! You're thinking of getting a car soon?
WTF...
Spending habits...
Matter of choice perhaps..
========
Happened to catch Singapore Idol just now...
And yeah, I still stick to my 3 favs...
Rahimah Rahim - rocker chick with the big voice..great confidence..not too big on her messy hairdo though...
Jasmine Tye - the girl next door who looks abit like Priscelia Chan the Channel U actress..did quite well today...
Gayle Nerva - was kinda nervous today..hope she maintains her composure if she goes in the next round...
Geraldine - dark horse
The rest...from Melissa to Choy Siew Woon and Milly...hmm...bottom 3 I should say...
I am impressed..

zzzzz......
Popped by Giraffe yesterday night with TH, PQ & Ally.
Dined on the upper floor..Ambience was quite okay, food to me was a little pricey but okay..though PQ & Ally didn't like the stuff there..
They're better for finger food & munchies though.
I had a main course which I called the "high-class bee hoon dish"...
It was bee hoon cooked in teriyaki broth with lotsa mushrooms thrown in it..and topped off with a huge succulent juicy piece of salmon..yum hehe..
Went downstairs for drinks thereafter..
PQ's order of Mango Magarita was a huge mistake. It tasted more like saltwater + cough mixture...dunno why..
Heng I had beer...hehe... =p
=========
Popped by Waraku at Marina Sq just now..for Johnathan aka Xiaodi's farewell..
Nice...really nice.
Bro Law booked the enclosed room area..and there were about 12 of us there.
Munched on loads of stuff..and walked out of the place smelling like the food that we ate.. haa
=========
signing out man..
buay dong...

me irritated!!
Here's how it all started...
On Friday afternoon, an SMS came through to me...
William Chia : Hey, how are you doing? Hope all's fine?
Me : Hey! Yah, am doing okay. How about you? Heard you're with HSBC now right?
After an hour..
William Chia : How? Can I make friends with you? My name is Kelvin. What's yours?
Me : *ignore*
TMD...William, my uni friend, must have changed his number and didn't inform me...or perhaps he gave his line to his friend or what...
This morning...
Idiot : You remember me? Kelvin. How are you today??
Me : *ignore*
And since then...I've been getting missed calls from a private number..
Either...Ring twice, then hang up....
Or...Ring, I pick up say "hello" and the idiot hangs up...
I had 3-4 missed calls yesterday and about 5 today.
Irritating piece of shit...this Kelvin-whatever-his-surname-is...

SUNDAY!!
It's been ages..and I mean ages since I got up so early on a Sunday morn..
At 8am, I was alredy at the Red Star Restaurant...at Blk 54 Chin Swee Road..7th floor...
Was there for Dim Sum with Ling & gang...Kel's bday celebration hahaa...
Not bad at all..We had a total of 55 plates/racks of dimsum...considering about 11 of us were there...haha that's an average of 5 plates per pax!...
The place was kinda old school....I LIKE!
Very Hong Kong type of feel...
They have those aunties pushing the carts around asking if you wanna eat or not...=)
Decor was those typical..cheena type...red dragons and golden phoenixes plastered on the walls...I LIKE!
Business was good man...when I reached at 8am, there were like ony 2-3 tables of people...
By the time 9am came...there were like 20 tables filled already and more people were streaming in...haha..
Singaporeans really live to eat...
========
Renewed my tan after that...Popped by Sentosa with ahboy...
Realised his faithful army green groundsheet was missing from the car when we got there...
We were digging around in his boot for like 5-10mins till we gave up...
Bo pian..spent $17 bucks at the Island Shop there to get some sort of like a sarong cloth thingy to place on the beach instead...
Met Adran Ang and his gf by chance at the same beach...we were just metres away from them...
Hmmm....what's the girl's name...the one from Chipmunks family...was in pageant during her year of orientation...hmm..
Shumin issit? Can't rmb...
Got a red nose now...
Face feels like it's gonna crack...
Shoulders abit burnt...gonna have to slap on aloe vera lotion liao...
I can feel the skin starting to itch...shit...means..I'm gonna peel in prolly 3 days' time...
And why do I feel XP & Lian are gonna comment on my skin colour again...?? haha...
========
Had the mood...munched on prata at Century Square after that...
And went on an impromptu shopping escapade...
Hehe...ended up with my 5th pair of bikini!!
Woohoo!! This one's black, with pink floral patterns and brown lining...wonder when can I have the chance to wear it?
Sauntered over to Time Bookstore....
And I finally bought the book I so wanna read...The Time Traveller's Wife...
Ended up with a 2nd book too...The Last Templar...
$40-over bucks..gone just like that...on 2 books and 3 cards...
I shall not step into a bookstore again for at least the next 3 months...
I seem to always part with $$ after stepping into one...
But yay! Got things to read again...hee...

friday...
Time for some light-heartedness...
Fun day in office on Friday...no doubt there were frustrating moments in the morning..
Think I was perpetually plugged into my mp3 and throwing my pen around haha...
Things got better after lunch..
Had lunch with the mktg dept at a Korean reat...Guin's treat..yum..hehe..
Came back and rushed out Lim Boon Heng's speech..made amendments...and had it sent out at the end of the day...
Had lotsa fun making the sandwich boards for the CDAC roadshow..kaozz..tested my creativity man haaa...XP was the model haha..happily parading them around in the office...
Pity I couldn't get a pic of him..that fool was not very obliging haha...said he didn't want his reputation to be at stake..
In a way..think I have to say my silent apologies to the temps for the roadshow....haha....
Cos it was my idea to have them wear the boards and walk around...hehe...PUBLICITY mah...
But anyway..they're paid for it hhehhee...
==========
Yay, we did manage to go Tian Tian for dinner after all!!! And I had my fav luncheon meat and wanton...
But damn it..the luncheon meat went out of stock real fast and we only managed to get a few pieces each...were initially planning to stuff ourselves with it..
Requested for replenishment..but to our utter disappointment...we waited and waited and the stocks never came...grrrrr.....
I went there specifically for the luncheon meat leh!! *pout*
==========
Buzzed my ex-boss before the dinner, was wondering if he was at the hot-air balloon place..turned out he was still in Suntec conducting interviews for what else again??
Accounts position lor..haha...told me he will be going down to bugis after that...and to look for him after my dinner...
And so, I dragged XP, Win & Sherine there after our Tian Tian..
He pretty much still looks the same cept for more meat on his cheeks..and my 1st sentence to him was..:"Xiao eh! You look fatter!!"
haha...kena a fierce glare for that...
Offered me a free ride on the balloon...But I kept a rain cheque on that offer.
Didn't want my wanton to spill out in mid-air...And besides...XP, Win n Sherine can't me waiting for me while I was up in the balloon right?
===========
And so the 4 of us left the balloon place and headed for CAN cafe for drinks..
Went in, sat down..and decided to go Pan Pac hotel instead...haha..trying to be atas...
So made our way to MRT and walked the dreaded Citylink...kaozz..was real tiring getting to Pan Pac...
The lounge was cosy enough...but the singer wasn't good. Soft, no power...
=========
Wanted to load up some pics..but Blogger hasn't been quite co-operative...

There are just...
There are just some people who find joy in the most mundane of situations...
And I admire them in a way for being able to keep their smiles on..
No matter how tough the going gets...
On the other end of the spectrum, there are just others who find joy in the most nonsensical ways..
Shan't elaborate how and why...
Just that it irks the hell out of me at the moment.
Gan boliao.
*rolls eyes*
ok..enough of early morn crapping..
*zips back to work*
