Had a very brief chat with Kay this afternoon.
Asked her. If the vibes I gathered from her blog was true...that she was single now..
And she confirmed my suspicions..it's been a month...
After 8 long years..she and him finally called it quits..
She's sad and disappointed..but she's coping..
And I believe she's got a bunch of her friends there for her too..
Lotsa hugz....for kinkybella...
Been a year since I met up with her...Come to think of it..I still owe her a treat...hehe
And well, such a small petite girl..is sorta like my big sister of sorts...
Really appreciated the prep talk and listening ear she had for me the last time we met up..
Hope she's doing okay...
========
So many break-ups, splits, divorces...
And so many unions on the other hand...
It's weird..yin and yang...
There needs to be balance?
Good and bad..
Life and death..
Happiness and sadness..
========
It's a little weird..ahboy usually calls at 11-plus...around this time..
Found myself looking at the clock just now..anticipating his call..
Then realised that eh?? He's not in SG...
#%$^
========
It's time again!!
For DETOX!
Haha....Shall stuff myself with lotsa fruits for this week...
Have not been eating much of them...
Can feel myself getting clogged up...
Yeah...I need to clear all the sh*t and toxins within me..
PURGE PURGE PURGE...
Let's see..chee cheong fun, sotong balls, watermelon and papaya sounds good for lunch tmr...
Or maybe chicken pie, watermelon and papaya...
Hmm...
========
Lush 99.5 is proving to be a good companion..
It's a cool station to chill out to...
They play house & lounge music and have a really cool- clubbing/pubbing chill-out kinda feel..
Am resisting the urge to pop open my vodka and just down a few drinks...
(And yes...that infamous bottle of Absolut is still sitting in the cupboard..smiling at me everyday...)
Woohoo...was working and listening to the station just now in office...\
Cool..simply cool...
========
AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Hahhahahahahha......ahboy just called!! Literally jumped in my seat when I heard his ringtone....
Just when I was typing this whole entry..
What a coincidence when I just said it kinda felt weird that he's not around in SG to buzz me...
haha...=)))
He just got off work...going for a run around the lake facing his hotel...
Then dinner...then gonna park in his bed and watch the Initial D cartoon I got for him..

Had a 2hr listening ear session with PQ last night..
Listened, gave some 2 cents' worth, listened again..
Sometimes she made sense, sometimes she didn't..
At times there were tears, towards the end they went away...
That said, I still think she is a strong girl..
Love her to bits..
Hmm...hope her HSBC pans out well..

6 or 7 times, my phone rings and I pick up..only to hear the fax dialtone...
Pesty Pesky Situation #2
Sunday afternoon. Lunch time...was slurping my bowl of soup..
Munching on my chye sim and had my mouth full of it...When I saw a caterpillar floating in the clear soup.
A boiled caterpillar...greenish with brown spots..
TMD. At least 1.5cm long and 2mm wide....
Pesty Pesky Situation #3
Since Friday night. Some idiot as been sending me SMS-es.
I don't know who he is. But apparently he know who I am and where I work at.
Sends me things like "Where are you now dear?"
"What are you doing now dear?"
What time shall I mesg you later dear?"
Wtf? Hate people calling me dear.
Especially from people I don't know so well.
What more from strangers.

it's a quiet saturday spent at home...
Sent ahboy off last night..
Gone for 10 days...=(
Buzzed me today...super arduous journey..reached hotel only after 18 hours..
And that includes, 13 hrs of flying, 3 hours transit time, another hour of flying and 30 mins of travel...
Shops over in Lugano, Switzerland close at 5pm and are not open on Sundays.
Sunrise starts at 530am...and sets at 9-something...super long daylight hours..
Hmm..hope he won't get too bored..though I bought Initial D cartoon and some other VCDs for him already.. haha..
Haa...as it is..after only a few hours...complained of being bored with the town already...
Sent me a pic of the lakeside and mountainous view he was getting from his motel room..
Hope his colleagues are nice when he meets them on Monday..
"Come back soon k sweetie...."
=========
I am thinking..
Hypocrisy is a survival tool.
Indulging in a little is normal I suppose..
Just not to the extent of being overly hypocritical..
=========
Just as hypocrisy might be a survival tool...I guess Boot-licking is yet another?
There are some "3-legged" colleagues in the workplace..
Irks me to see the way they "3-leg", boot-lick, curry favour...with the bosses...
Whether it be in email or in person or over the phone...
Wonder where they get the energy to do such stuff. Maybe it's inborn in them.
*pui pui pui*
=========
And the tally of wedding invites so far is this...and I think it might be increasing...
*wails on behalf of my pockets*
Aug 06 = 1
Sept 06 = 1
Oct 06 = 2
Nov 06 = 1

=========
hmm..kinda shacked out..
Am getting abit disorganised at work...little things here and there..
Really have to learn how to be on top of everything. And not leave things out.
SG is such a fast fast fast society..
Want to slow down abit also don't dare..
=========
Hope BBQ is possible with the duckie girls...time for our gathering again...
Been at least 2 months since we last met..Wonder how's everyone doing?
=========
I am worried about PQ.
Sent me a wrong SMS..think it was meant for WH...
But it sounded so sad and so full of emotions..
Sigh..think I'll drag her out for dinner again next week...
Went out for dinner with her & Ally & Eugene on Thursday night...
She seemed abit distracted and tired and bothered...
Hope she sorts things out soon enough..I know she's confused about stuff..

hmm..abit tired..
Kok just told me...
Smile and the whole world smiles with you!
It's funny...that used to be my mantra...I had it written everywhere..
In my notebooks, pasted on my wall, pasted on my study table, pasted on the inside of my cupboard door...Up till a few years ago...
Don't know why..but just kinda stopped believing in it when it didn't exactly prove to be very true.. haha
Yeah, I knw..I look pissed off and fierce when I don't smile..
And I have been smiling less I think...
Ok..New objective...SMILE MORE!
Not only does it make you look better...it has its own health benefits too..
And well..what shit you feel inside...as someone told me..was not caused by the other party..and so you shouldn't subject them to your sourness...
Haaa...
=========
I think...that there's a jerk hiding in everyone of us...guy or girl...
Just a matter of the magnitude of it...
Well...
男人和女人都是犯贱的...
=========
okok...back to work...

when is friday coming?
What's the difference between the heart and the mind and the brain?
Which controls us?
All in some way..issit?
=========
Had an impromptu lunch with TP today..
That idiot got a car...a blue Honda City...not cheap though..hmm..$55K...
4 months old.. haha...SGE license plate..
And as usual..his speech and sentences are peppered with sighs and words like xian ah...boring...
=========
Things with PQ & WH are coming to an end.
Or perhaps I should say..on her part..it has already ended.
Sigh...she sounds okay. It is a tough decision definitely to end things...
Been there, done that.
But she's strong..I think she can handle it..
I wonder about him though..and what he's thinking now...
Wanted to drop him a message...but felt that it might be too intrusive...
Decided not to in the end..
=========
Just cleared my wardrobe abit...and felt abit guilty..haha
To throw away some pretty new things...well...new as in not worn much..
Though it's been sitting in my cupboard for eons...
Yeah...there's more space for my BKK stuff now haha..
=========
Got inspired by Purpleskies today...and asked some who happened to be online with me..
To use 5 words to describe me...
Enigma came up with : Loving (graceful and gentle...wow..never heard that of myself before! haha..), Capricious (cheem word here..hmm..??), Sexy (haha!), Narcissistic (kns...haha..this is a word I used to describe Ahboy and now it's used on me..) & lastly, Under-Believer (of myself and my capabilities...)
XP coughed up the following...that dumbass : black, charcoal, dark, tanned, lian (as in ah lian..)
Laoda said : intellectual, sentimental (spot-on...), emotional (spot-on too..), sexy and priceless! hahhahaa...
Haha shall go bug others for 5 words...and have my own Johari's window of sorts...=p
=========
Dang...just when I thought I got over my snack craze over cashew nuts...
I just got hooked on seaweed...
Not those Jap seaweed.....more like the Thai seaweed....brand's Tao Kae Nio...
Available in Guardian and Watsons...might be abit ex..
About $3 bucks per packet...but oh..when u munch on it...and when it melts in your mouth...
WooHoo!!! O-R-G-A-S....
opps, pardon my crudeness....

Reel Vs Real?
Guy A and Gal B have been together for quite awhile. And are intending to get married.
Gal C comes along and A finds himself losing grip on things.
His heart somehow finds enough space to slot in C.
And so he spirals into a web of confusion, helplessness, despair perhaps...
B? C? Marriage? How???
B in the meantime, is unaware.
I suspected it all along. Just didn't give it much thought cos it ain't really my business anyway.
Somehow had a confirmation on the situation today.
And well..it's surprising me that...
Knowing the fact that it's really happening is somehow throwing my mind into a mini whirlpool of thoughts...
I don't know where to start.
I am not any of the party involved (though I do not wish to be any of them as well).
Yet, I am feeling quite perplexed by the situation.
I did not have a proper time with ahboy just now cos part of the time I was thinking about some stuff.
Troubled and feeling worrisome is probably more accurate.
Why so when I am not the one involved?
I don't know too...
Perhaps it is because I happen know 2 of them. A & C.
I hear of such instances happening to friends' friends or friends' friends' friends.
But when it happens to people I know. People whom I am close to.
I guess it raises the bar. The bar of what?
Of that fact that well...such things can happen to anyone. Even me.
I do not want to be Gal B. That I know for sure.
It is scary. I cannot help but think.
I know I'll be extremly hurt and disappointed and angry if I do find out.
But it is not something within my control anyway...
But I have my faith and trust to hang onto.
I think to myself...what makes a person veer off the course of a relationship?
A realtionship which has been going on for a few years. For more than 4 or 5 years.
Is it boredom? Is it monotony?
Or is it something like..one fine day you get up and suddenly realise...Hey! Actually he/she ain't the one leh...
The mind is such a complex thing.
But why is it that usually a 3rd party is the catalyst for change? Thr trigger factor?
I am a bystander and I cannot comment on who is right and who is wrong...
Nor what is right and what is wrong...
I do not wish to demean nor condemn. I am in no position to do so.
But in this case, perhaps I feel C had a part in it.
To behave in such a manner, whether knowingly or unknowingly, whether on purpose or not.
I feel it should not have been.
And perhaps a certain amount of constraint and control should have been undertaken...by both A & C...
I am not gonna ask them anything for sure...
Not in any position to do so..and well...I don't think I can value-add to the situation anyway..
Sigh..Just hope A sorts out everything.
Yeah...sorts out everything...In time.
Though I do not know B personally...I hope she'll be fine too.
I really do.

Bye Bangkok, Hello Home
Am back..
Touched down at 4pm..
Feeling abit tired now..with a leaky nose and scratchy throat..
But am still hanging in there..
I have to..
Mind over body..woohoo...
Things are cheap over there..
Went with a half-filled bag and came back with 2 bags..
Phuket was so-so..weather was abit dismal..
Drizzle..stop..cloudy..rain...stop..cloudy..drizzle again..
No sun..
Ah well...the sun did come out..on the day that we left for BKK.
Darn...
Phuket as I remembered from my last brief stopover visit in 2002..
Is still as commercialised as b4..
Exorbitant prices..fueled by the large pool of Ang Mohs who don't mind being ripped off cos to them..the things are still god-damn cheap..
Had a lovely cholesterol-laden seafood dinner the night when we reached Phuket.
Lobster with garlic and butter...
Tiger prawns with cheese and butter..(kaozz...I swear they were the size of crayfish...)
Bangkok was ...hmm... interesting...
Dirty streets..haphazard traffic..extremely polluted air..
Lotsa taxis and tuk-tuks...lotsa streetside pushcart stalls selling food and clothes and other knick knacks..
2 value meals at Macs cost us $7.50.
1 set meal (which had enough food for 2 actually) at Sushi Tei cost us $9 (including tax).
Makes me wanna relocate there man.. haha..
Ah well..
If all goes well...we'll be back there in September again?
Hahaa...whack the other half of Chatuchak which we didn't manage to see...
Oh ya...
Airline food is getting better??

Exorbitant prices..fueled by the large pool of Ang Mohs who don't mind being ripped off cos to them..the things are still god-damn cheap..
Had a lovely cholesterol-laden seafood dinner the night when we reached Phuket.
Lobster with garlic and butter...
Tiger prawns with cheese and butter..(kaozz...I swear they were the size of crayfish...)
Bangkok was ...hmm... interesting...
Dirty streets..haphazard traffic..extremely polluted air..
Lotsa taxis and tuk-tuks...lotsa streetside pushcart stalls selling food and clothes and other knick knacks..
2 value meals at Macs cost us $7.50.
1 set meal (which had enough food for 2 actually) at Sushi Tei cost us $9 (including tax).
Makes me wanna relocate there man.. haha..
Ah well..
If all goes well...we'll be back there in September again?
Hahaa...whack the other half of Chatuchak which we didn't manage to see...
Oh ya...
Airline food is getting better??

Yiyong is back!!! For good!!!
Yiyong called me just now when I was in Parkway...
Was happy to receive to his call, thought he was buzzing me from texas..
Turned out that the idiot's back in town!!!
And back for good at that!...
Haha...will be receiving mroe of his crappiness in time to come I suppose...
Didn't realise but he's been gone fro 2yrs and 7mths..serving his stint there..
Came back 5 days ago...and will be starting work after next week...
And kinda suay...cos he's been arrowed to be part of the NDP celebrations...
BUTTTT can I be a bimbo and PROUDLY PROCLAIM that...
This brother of mine...
Will be one of those guys piloting the jets....
Which will be carrying the huge state flag above and across the stadium!!!
Haha....from a nonsense spewing goondu..gallivanting around town after school..
...To being my brother and listening ear...
...To joining the airforce...
...To rescuing people during the Hurricane Katrina crisis...
...And now to carrying the state flag during National Day...
This fella has come a long way man...
Proud of him...
haha..wanted to drag me out for dinner just now....
Couldn't make it...
Another time soon perhaps...
Been quite awhile since I last saw him! Think more than a year...

tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock...
Counting down the days..hours..minutes...
Sawadee!
=========
The Last Templar is really proving to be a spoof of the Da Vinci Code.
Though it doesn't bring you through the analytical mysteries of codes and anagrams and whatever puzzles...
A little bitsy piece of romance thrown in for good measure...
Am more than halfway through the book..
Thinking of whether I should bring it with me overseas..
But I think better not lah..
I'm paranoid about keeping the edges of my books clean and sharp.
I hate them to be dog-eared....so...yah...think it'll be safer nestled in a corner on my desk...
Will pick it up again when I'm back..
==========
Darn.
Kinda tired since last night...
Went back office just now to clear some dumb stuff.
Then popped by Parkway to meet him..
Made me wait for an hour...felt like chewing his head off.
I must have looked out of place.
Sitting on a bench in Parkway...reading my book...
With hordes of shoppers, families, couples, kids around me...
Just didn't feel like walking around aimlessly...
Am not much of a shopping person..
=========
My good bro Kel has offered to check with Wendy if she can help me get the whole 6 seasons of Sex & The City...
Yeah...=))
Look forward to watching everything all over again...
=========
Kinda hungry...didn't have a proper dinner...
We were more like snacking on little things here and there..
Popiah then tako balls then sotong balls...then mago pudding..
Shall go rummage and see what I can find..

Screaming our lungs out together with Lee Hom is such an exhilarating experience haha...can't remember all the lyrics as yet..not that we cared..we just substituted it with our own words and gurgles and hums... haha...
WOOHOO!!!! I LOVE LEE HOM!!

zzzzz.....
Damn, I think I'm tired!
And like how I told Enigma, I think I am abit delirious.. haha
Reached home around 10 minutes ago..1025pm..
Got out of the lift..and somehow macham by instinct, I started rummaging through my bag
And fished out my access pass..my office access pass..
Stood in front of my door clutching the pass in my hand..
Stared for a second before it hit me...
Dumbo. I need a key to open my house gat and door.. Not a bloody freaking card!
bleah...
Munhing on tofu rice n vege now..woohoo...my dinner has just become...
hmmm...din-per? dinner-cum-supper..
========
Received another wedding invite today...
Every month from August till December..I have a wedding to attend...
My pockets will start getting dry....
========
Sometimes, the facts are just in front of your eyes...
But you don't see them..
And it takes a while for you to realise...
It can take a short while...it can take a long while...
But when the moment of realissation hits you..
You feel equally astounded.
Damn! You say.."How come I didn't realise all along?"
Damn!
And then you start wondering how things would have been if you had realised earlier....

I shovel somemore again...
I come back..and even more shit appears....
WTF????
I hate to think of when I come back from the trip...
To see a pile of stinking shit there to shovel away again...
Nabeh.
I need Gianluigi Buffon to comfort me....or perhaps Beckaham...or well...
Was supposed to go home early to rest and wake up to watch part of the match...
Am still stuck in office....kns...=(((
Del Piero, Ballack and Henry will do as well....

monday smatterings
Was having dinner with PQ just now.
My turn to listen to her troubles and offer some life buoy of some sort...
Weird..cos just a few days ago..or perhaps a week ago...she was doing the same to me...
Being my pillar of strength...
We talked over two bowls of ramen and lots of cups of green tea...
It was a good thing the place wasn't crowded at all..In fact, we were the only ones...
We must have sat there for like 2 hours plus...
Talking...serious stuff...then to less serious..then back to serious...yada yada...
Aw it feels good to talk...it feels good to hear someone out and get yourself heard too...
As we made our way to the interchange, we got us each a pink piggy pouch..haha..a zip pouch with a pig face on it...soft toy style...furry and spongy...
Brings me back to the good old girly days where we used to get the same things...haha...
Yeah...every girl needs her girlfriend(s).
==========
Which..brings me to Sex and the City..
Yeah, I'm gushing alot about the show..
But well..it's my all-time fav.
Funny, Sad, Happy, Heart-warming, Heart-Wrenching..
Hurt, Disappointment, Deliriousness, Questions, Answers...Love, Hate...
Ah well.. the show has it all...
And I'm having withdrawal symptoms...Think I wanna get all 6 seasons and rewatch all over again...
I can do this for days man....haha...
Hmm....do they sell this in Thailand?? haa...
*clasps hands together in fervent hope*
==========
Was at work...when someone suddenly MSN-ed me...
Talked for awhile...was listening to him speak about his troubles...
Of how he likes an attached girl but well...feels guilty and unethical for doing so...yada yada...
So aunt agony here tries to bail him out of his situation...shares some neutral ideas and thoughts...
And then to my utmost surprise..he made a confession...
The girl he was referring to was well..yours sincerely.
Wrong timing...I was at work!!!!!!!! Trying to do editing on some write-ups!!!
Hmm...gotta make things clear...Gotta...
My dear bro/buddy/pal....things ain't meant to be I suppose...
Yeah...

world cup...
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?
Morning thoughts....
