twenty....seven....and....counting....

Count down. 4 more days? haa..lol.
The petty me..this year will be a quiet bday...
Spent last year in Taiwan...Spent 2005's in sgh.

Old liao..but wonder why I place more emphasis on this year's bday?
hmm mm...

early in the morning...

Had an initially frustrating night.
Left office at 710pm. Unexpected meeting that lasted for hours...
Took Ginger's advice and went to St Andrew's Church to take a bus...bad idea.
TMD...Reached Central only at 750pm.

So near..yet so far...

Anyway, whatever frustration dissipated the moment I saw them...haha..
They always that effect on me...Lydia, Ginger, Tricia, Sashi...Dined at Pasta de Waraku and then went over to TCC to chill abit....Ee Hong joined us later...

Left them at 11-plus and went over to Wine Garage to chill with PQ & TH.
As I walked past Brewerkz to get there...gosh...Brewerkz was bloody full ahha...
Had some red wine and just hung around...They closed at 1-plus...

We somehow ended up near TH's place...at a 24-hour kopitiam...
Had bak chor mee before heading home...It wasn't as nice as Blk 85's bak chor mee though haha...

So here I am...refusing to sleep....cos there's no class tomorrow.. haha...

Let's see..agenda for tomorrow...

Settle lunch and some admin matters from home...makan lunch....
Then make way to Gran's place...Then settle my credit card payment...Then buy some toiletries....then back home..Some work stuff to settle and then maybe catch a DVD...

Sigh...the lonely life of a lonely shell...

where are we?

decade after decade..
year after year..
month after month..
week after week..
day after day..
hour after hour..
minute after minute..
second after second..

how much time has passed?
how much time have we wasted?
how much time has slipped us by?
how much time have we turned a blind eye to?

how much more time will pass?
how much more time will we waste?
how much more time will slip us by?
how much more time will we turn a blind eye to?

days of rain
days of wind
days of sun
days of clouds

hours of light
hours of darkness
hours of hope
hours of despair

what did we wish that we could do?
what did we wish that we should have done?

where did we go to?
after all this while..
slipping further into ourselves..
till we're a speck of mite
resting on the bottom of a pit
nary to see the light of day?

sigh...

Did something dumb today.
Rushed out of office to go CGH to visit granny...I must have left my keys behind...

Cos when I got home at 840pm. I was searching frantically for my keys. But they were no where to be found.
Heng...Adrian has a spare set...But I had to wait for him to come home first...waited for 30 mins..he finally came by to pick me up..went over to his place in Pasir Ris...

And by the t ime I got home...It was 935 already...

Sad..missed my Chinese show by half...and missed the amount of time i could have done some chores...

Anyway...I have been absent-minded lately...
And my work is also not up to standard...What happened to the meticulous me?
I used to spot mistakes and correct my own work thoroughly before I even sent anything out...

My eyes did not see the number of mistakes my work had this morning..
What a letdown...simple stuff...so many typos...Feb became Jan. Gosh...........

Kinda disappointing.
Not the kind of work I would expect of myself...

Sad...

=========
Gran..was admitted into CGH on Saturday....for cough n asthma...
More like wheezing...

Not sure if she'll be discharged tomorrow...was wheezing again just now....

J'attend

I wait...
For...

So many things...

==========
Question comes back again.

Guitar or Keyboard?
PQ jioing me to take up guitar...But I have a feeling my fingers are not too suited for strings..hahha

Ahboy is keen on keyboard...but dun think he has the time to commit also...

How ah? =(

For One More Day

A novel by Mitch Albom
Lovely read...Written in a way that is so much his style..simple words, simple sentences...
Yet so very thought-provoking...so much like his "Fove People You Meet In Heaven" and "Tuesdays With Morrie"
All his books have made me weep..haha..

He brings up feelings, thoughts, emotions which all of us take for granted...and which all of us somehow or other over the years...tend to disregard and keep hidden...

One lovely line from the last page of this book:
"One day spent with someone you love can change everything."

Another para:
"I believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above the swirling waters, and sometimes, that means that you will never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly, in a way you otherwise wouldn't."

Yet another one:
"There's a story behind everything. How a picture got onto a wall. How a scar got onto your face. Sometimes the stories are simple and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story because hers is where your begins."

A love story about familial ties..especially between a mother and a son...
Written in first person narrative...

There was concept highlighted in there..The narrator had a list..split into two columns...
Each column was headed by the following titles:
1) Times My Mother Stood Up For Me
2) Times I Did Not Stand Up For My Mother

(2) far outweighed (1)....

I thought about it myself...and I think my own situation is similar too...
I believe alot of others would face a similar thing too...

Why does love tend to be taken for granted so often?
Love of any kind...friendship, spousal, parental, sibling love, familial love...

Food for thought...

Friday night

My tolerance for alcohol is diminishing haha..
I think I can hold my liquor average-ly..(is there such a word??) haha..
But my stomach can't anymore...

New colleagues & I were having red wine in office after work...
2-3 glasses...the wine was disappointing though haa....
Popped by Velvet after that...not Velvet Dragon..Velvet Underground...=)

My citibank card was put to good use...free entry for citibank card holders before 12am...heh.
Took a few more glasses of drink..was ok..high but ok...

Got home..and my stomach gave...

Slept, got up witha splitting headache and my stomach gave again...twice...
Was trying to retch silently in the loo...
When you have an observant mom, you'll learn how to do things discreetly too.. haha..essential "survival" skills... aha...

Popped a pill before I had my lunch..best thing was...kaozz...she cooked laksa yesterday...super spicy...I thought I couldn't make it to finish the bowl she plopped in front of me...
Bopian..kept a straight face and took it real slowly ahha...

Managed to survive the lunch...and well..things got better after that.. haha..

Guess I lacked discipline again...
Having fun at the expense of my stomach..no go no go...

==========
School was super boring yesterday...French Grammar really sucks man.. ahha..
In the English language...the past is the past...and you just use the past tense...

Piangzz French has the recent past, the past past and the very long ago past...

Har? How do we know when to use what?? we lamented to the Bruno our teacher...

You have to feel the language and you will know in time to come...I give you about one year to know it at the tip of your fingertips...Bruno replied, smiling all the while..

*Groans* was the reply he got from the whole class...

There was a VCD, DVD vendor in school yesterday..and they were selling it real cheap!!!
$2 for a VCD, $4 to $10 for a DVD...
Bought 3 French movies and 1 jap movie...for a total of $16 bucks.. haha
The good English movies were all snapped up liao by the time I went down to have a look..

No class next Saturday cos it's Hari Raya...Parents not around as well...
But Ahboy has a wedding to go to....bleah...

Blast to the Past

Ahboy & I popped by Sunset Way yesterday...the new stretch of eateries were quite interesting..
Imagine having a pool & chill-out place in your neighbourhood...
Take the lift downstairs, cross a little road, and there you have it.. ahha..

There were various restaurants there..Chinese steamboat & grill buffet, a pasta place, a Jap restaurant, a New Zealand ice-cream shop, a meat grill place, etc..
The whole place was packed..Managed to get seats in the Chinese steamboat place...

Though my stomach was still a little queasy from the Friday night before...
But the more I ate.. haha the more I felt better...The soup was just so-so though..No lah, in fact, it was utterly tasteless haha...

===========
After dinner...we went to do something which I'd always wanted to do since a few years back...
But never had the chance to...

We went to visit NTU.. haha...abit boliao lah...But I miss those days alot.. haha..
And we got lost mid-way..But we finally got there...and our first stop was at Hall One...

I didn't quite know what to expect..Maybe I thought I'd see new structures or new things added here and there...
But when I stepped out of the car...I felt like as if I'd been transported back to 6-7 years ago..
Everything was still the same..
From the paint colours, to the badminton courts, to the laundry rooms, to the bike stands, to the way the name tags were put up in each door's plastic holder...
Even right down to the numerous slippers each room had...

Visited my old block..saw some people BBQ-ing there...Walked over to Hall 5 abit...showed ahboy around..
Went back to the car and drove around..Saw lots of new school blocks...saw Hall 6, Hall 8, Nanyang Lake, my school The Nanyang Business School, Yunnan Garden, NIE, etc.. ahaha...went up to the President's Lodge too.. haha..

Gave HB a call when I was at Hall One..but I forgot, he, Mao & Seng have already stopped staying in Hall One since the start of this semester...

Left in about45mins to an hour..
Oh well, memories..

it's thursday already??? man that's fast!!!

Woot! 830am today again! hahaha...
Cheep cheep thrill hor? hahaha...

Ok, things are starting to come in already...There's work to do...
Must change gear abit....from 1st gear to 1.5 gear...hah..

oh tmd. boss just stopped by. dunno if he saw me blogging....

Bad thing is I am soo woozy....hahaha

Good hting is that I met my HR in the lift...hiakzz!! Evidence that I am on time ok....
It's 850am now...and I am the only in my department who has arrived...even my admin lady is not here yet!! piangzz. hahhaa...

Ok, off to read up on some stuff liaozzzz.....

zzzzz *yawn*

p/s: ai xin chicken burger made my mom today..munching on it now.. haha

tews-dae!!

Suli MSN-ed me this afternoon...sigh..She & CK are off..Just this Saturday past...
Think she cried alot over the weekend...

Don't know how much I can help this cousin of mine except to lend a listening ear and some comforting words...
Think this one lasted about 2 years or slightly less?

Oh...hope she finds a guy who will treasure her as much as she treasures him...
And hope she gets over CK soon...

She kept saying no one wants her, that she's not smart, not pretty, not sociable, not outoging, dunno how to interact...Sigh..=(
So very wrong..I think she's pretty & sociable...and I think most guys will like her...

Oh well...time heals...

========
I am being stalked...By a guy who was my printer when I was still in Achieve.
He's been calling me at least 2-3 times everweek eversince I started at IDA.
98% of the time, I don't pick up or I miss the call..

He called me yesterday. It was a missed call. And he left me a dumb voicemail.
"Hello Michelle ah? This is XXX ah. Bye Bye."

???????!!!!!

And today....he gave me 3 missed calls.

Wah lau eh.

=========
Was chatting with Ah kok this morning...apparently he & Ah San have been prowling lots of auto workshops...and "zheng-ing" their cars.
For the uninitiated, it means modifying their cars...

According to him..his car now has a body kit, dunno-what grill, spoiler, special illum clock, side mirror blinkers and a whole host of other things that I can't remember.. ahha..

Think it has cost more than $3K liao...

Men...*rolls eyes*

========
I feel like an invalid at work...
There are issues cropping up..But I can't do much to help them out. Cos my knowledge of the industry and of the whole system & processes is still too raw to be of much help...

Bleah... =(

========
I will be at Velvet this Friday with a bunch of new colleagues...abit awkward to go but oh well..
Taking it as a bonding session.

Anybody keen?
I will be there around 1030-1100pm...

========
Meeting Patricia for lunch this Friday!! =))
I like her..she's turned out to be a wonderful pal...and somehow..she's been my career consultant.. haha..lol...Guess fate brought us back together after a hiatus of 4.5 years of no contact and I think no recollection that each other existed in the first place.. ahhah lol...

Meeting Yan Bin next Tuesday for lunch!!
My mighty French classmate who sadly is not taking classes this semester...

Meeting Diana sometime next week for lunch too!!
Haha..she's at the next tower from me...WEird...I didn't jio her for lunch when we were in the same office at LHUB...and now..I am asking her out for lunch...when we're ex-colleagues...

The world's a funny place ain't it? heh...

=========
Yikes...same thing again....845 pm liao!!
Gotta go shower and watch my 9pm show!!!

Tata!

hee hee!

Before I forget..

Happy Children's Day!!!!

wheeee!!!!!

My interview with the weekly publication The Edge is out!!
hahah...cheap thrill perhaps but but but!! Hey!
It's the first time ever that I am quoted in a publication widely read by CEOs & other high level people...

*beams*

For those of you who read this publication...Check out pages 20-22 about the Gen Y working executives...Hee...it's listed there as Michelle Sng, a Gen Y-er who works at Achieve...

Well um, sad to say, at the time of the publication's release that is technically not a true fact anymore... ahhaha...
More like a Gen Y-er who WORKED at Achieve.. hahaha.....

And oh gosh, of all people, Candy was the one who SMS-ed me in the morning to tell me about the article...
I was like ah?? Candy???
She reads The Edge one meh??? Simply can't imagine haha...=p

=======
Time flies babe...2008 is almost here!

Chloe's SMS reply to me...How true how true...
I initially told her..."Eh, gosh, I have left LHUB for close to 5 months liao leh! So fast!"

Seems the older you get, the faster time flies...
The older you get, the more blurry each chapter of your life becomes.. haha...

And now come to think of it...Glenn has left LHUB for more than a year!! hahaa...

=========
I am getting nostalgic and sentimental again...

Maybe cos I am in my birthday month liao...Yet another cycle begins...yet another year has passed...yet another candle added to my cake...yet more lines added to the corners of my eyes...So fast...too fast...

And damn, when will people stop asking me this question: "So when are you getting married??"

Mum is asking, aunts & uncles are asking. Even Adrian & Mei are asking...they have stopped cos I gave them irritated looks each time they ask.
Friends are asking. Hell, even when they drop me Friendster messages, that's what they ask??!!

Bleah...I also want to get married..but flat not ready then how???
Stop asking me okay...*exasperated*... ahhaa....

=========
Shit, ok..845 liao.
Need to go bathe..then watch the 9pm show....woohoo!!

Chen Han Wei..Old liao but still cool~!! haha...
15 years ago I watched his show...15 years later I am still watching his shows.. ahhaa...

Let's Talk About Sex Baby...

Ok, let's not call it Fatal Attraction nor Love at First Sight nor even Lust at First Sight...
For lack of a milder or more common term, perchance let me just term it as hmm mm.... "Connectivity"??

Yeah...maybe that's the word to use.

Have you ever met the eyes of a member of the opposite sex and felt an extreme connectivity to that person?
I am not just referring to the ladies over here...I am referring to everyone in general...

Have you ever caught the gaze of a member of the opposite gender and in that instant of time, felt as if you knew him or her since eons ago?
And in that same instant of time, a wonderful sizzle runs through you? Little zaps of electricity...
A little shocking to the senses, a little strange and yet, wondrous and very appealing?

So much so that though you become fearful for a second and look away for that little bit...
But then your curiosity gets the better of you and you turn back again..hoping to catch that gaze again...
Hoping to experience those little ripples of sensations again?

And if you do catch that gaze again, you get bolder now and hold those eyes to your own for a tad longer...
Pretty soon, a hint of a smile touches the ends of your lips...and then......

AW MAN...i know, so cliched...But hey, cliches are born out of truths and experiences, are they not? Haha..

I have met nary but a few guys who just with their eyes & smile & demeanour, manage to send hot flushes through me.. Hahaa...one of them..yeps would be Ahboy...
Another is an ex-bf...for those who are wondering...No, it is definitely not Red Biscuit.

One is a good friend, a brother...haha and another well...is a colleague...heh!
There you go...4 guys who managed to give me "zaps"....only 4 in my lifetime of um, 27 years? ahaha...Man, that's little...ahha...

Do you remember your first crushes? Fo you remember your first kiss?
Do you remember the first time you held hands with your other half? And I am not talking about primary school or kindergarten where you are forced to hold hands with your partner haha...
Do you remember your first bf or gf?

Somehow I thought back to all these things when I was on my way home just now...
Boliao? Oh well...Just a plain old girl who clings to past memories abit too much at times.. haha...

Acres

I feel like becoming a volunteer with Acres...
The Animal Concerns Research & Education Society...

Went to their website and saw so many categoris of where they need volunteers...Let me think about it first and see if I can commit the time...Hmm mm...

Am thinking of becoming a lifetime member as well...$300 to be one...
Or $30 to be an annual member...REnewd yearly of course..

Hmm mm.....Any takers? Kel maybe?

T-I-R-E-D but H-A-P-P-Y

I didn't quite realise how tired I was till I dozed off in class yesterday..
LOL..I have never dozed off in classes before..The only time I ever did was in secondary school but that was cos I was running a fever.. haha..

And so yesterday when I woke with a shock after having dozed off, I was quite alarmed.. haha lol.
Bruno was very draggy yesterday trying to explain a new grammatical concept to us...he was droning on and on...
It got better afterwards when we did the exercises in the workbook...
Eric spoke to me during the class break and he joked that I looked like a drug addict...
Dark eye rings, thin, stoned & spaced-out look.. haha...kns!!!

===========
And the reasons for my tiredness??
Didn't sleep well on both Thursday & Friday nights!! Abit worn out by the activities on both days!
Hahaaa....nevertheless, it was a happy happy time...=)

Thursday was a usual work day..I am still in my honeymoon phase. Reading up on past projects, trying to assimilate into the work culture and ofice environment...
Rushed home that day..wet and shivering...I remember it was raining the whole day..
Got changed, packed my overnight bag...and then went downstairs for Ling & Susan & Jierui to pick me...

Went over to NTUC in Tampines Mall and bought stuff...had a rushed dinner at MOS burger and then we were off again...to Aloha Loyang...
Met up with Gail there...checked out the chalet, washed up and then got to "work"...

The chalet was huge..living & dining rooms, kitchen, garden space, 4 bedrooms, a courtyard with BBQ pits...piangzz...really big...
It was kinda surreal actually. The whole day's rain added to the effect..everything was cold and damp, the grass was wet, the stone brick walls were cold, the air seemd misty and dewy...
And it felt so quiet an dout of the world...we were just only 1min away from the beach too...that close to the sea...

What work did we do? Hahaha...As "sisters" for Gail's wedding...we pledged ourselves to churn out various tasks that Adrian's "brothers" had to do...
We made glutinous rice balls with torturous fillings...wasabi flavoured ones, lemon fillings, chilli fillings, bittergourd fillings, etc...
We made water balloons. We made clothes out of garbage bags for the brothers to wear...
We wote Chinese tongue twisters for them to read...

We had a blast.. haha laughing our way through the night...while our hands did the work...
We slept at 2-plus in the morning...crashing our tired selves onto the hard beds in the bedrooms..
I slept with Susan, ever conscious of whether I would snore..I don't think I snore actually...but ahboy begs to differ.. ahha...and I still don't know if he is joking or not...

It wasn't a good sleep..tossed abit in the unfamiliar and hard bed...I was facing the window and a silly part of me expected some kind of monster to crash through the window at some point in the night...I remember in my semi-conscious state, I even recited Hail Mary 3 times...
Dumbo.. ahha...

And the next thing I knew..it was 630am..4hours passed just like that...I think I only slept for half the time haha...
Woke up, bathed, dressed...And it was time to prepare again for the guys' arrival..
Cooked the rice balls, brought out all the apparatus & euipment and whatever props we prepared the night before...

Gail's parents & brother were already there..sitting & chatting quietly in the living room of the chalet while we went about our business...

Took a quick bite of our Mac breakfast...sent by delivery of course...put on make-up and voila..we were waiting just for their arrival...

============
And they arrived on time...830am sharp...Amidst loud blarings of car horns..

The sisters worked the guys...push-ups...rice balls eaten with grimacing faces...cool guys who soon were awash with sweat in the slowly gathering heat and the slowly growing sunrays...
Hell, I was so hot I felt a little grumpy haha...

And then voila...the tasks were over...the sisters got their angpows...and the guys were in the chalet compund...One more task of singing "Xiao Wei"..

And Adrian finally got through to opening a final door...and seeing his bride...

Gail was pretty...so pretty!...She wore a tube gown..white of course, with specks of gold & light beige embroidery of little flowers along the waist & on her train...A little green ribbon ran roung the waist and ended in a knot at the small of her back...with the tails of the ribbons flowing freely behind her...
Loved the beaded hair piece that the make-up artist wove into her hair...

A kiss from the groom, a few shots from the photographer...and the bride got the chance to step out of the room and finally see daylight hahhaa...
Her first reaction just before she stood up was "Wah, very bored to wait in here leh..." hahha....

More pics...and finally all of us, brothers & sisters alike all made our way to Adrian's out for the tea ceremony...

===========
Gosh, and it was the first time ever that I'd seen such a big wedding entourage.. ahha...
This batch of brothers & sisters are all darn rich.. ahha...

Amongst the wedding couple & 6 brothers & 5 sisters....there was 7 cars in total I think.
A merc for the bridal car, a lexus, 4 toyota vios-es and 1 mazda...
Haha it must hav ebeen quite a sight for passers-by to see such a long line of cars,...all with flowers & adornments....speeding along the roads & the expressway... haha...

Ahboy & I went home & crashed after the tea ceremony & lunch buffet was over at Adrian's house...
By the time we woke, it was already 515pm..ahaha..gosh, I was supposed to be at the place at 530pm... haha...

===========
MHotel...I was assigned the role of the Polaroid photographer.. haha...sneaking up on guests, interrupting their conversations, intruding into their private times, hijacking their smiles and snapping moments of time onto little pieces of film.

It was cool I think...guests wrote their well-wishes on the pictures which came out...and the pictures were displayed onto boards near the recep table. The Polaroid I took with Ahboy turned out to be so nice!..=D

The dinner was wonderful...The food was very good!! And they had Orh-Ni as dessert...my fav!! hhaa...The atmosphere was nice...relaxed and casual ulike some of the stuffy dinners I attended before...I guess in part because there were so many tables who knew each other...The Duman sec gang already took up 4 tables at least.. ahha...

With AhGim at my table..somehow I knew trouble was brewing.. ahha...She brought 3 bottles of Martell there...of which...2.5bottles of it was consumed within an hour...myself? I managed to get by...drank some....and got off sometimes by acting blur.. ahhaha....survival skills....=p

I think some of the other tables were just staring at our antics...some uncles were just open-mouthed at how much we were drinking...and also...at how much AhGim was drinking...
She drinks like as if Martell was just plain water quenching her thirst.. ahha...

============
We gatecrashed the couple's suite after the dinner...parked ourselves cosily there...watched abit of TV...BraveHeart was showing on HBO....
Played 5-10, drank abit more...took some more pics...and then finally left Gail & Adrian to their night ahead.. hehe...

Ahboy & I got home around 3-plus in the morning...Guess it was impromptu that he slept over at my place.. haha..he was tired and well...abit tooo woozy for the drive back to his place...

And so...we slept...he slept like a pig..
I woke up a few times after dawn broke..I dunno why...the adrenalin from the day before perhaps?
Woke, had lunch and the both of us went to visit Granny...

Went for my class after that...came home, watched abit of TV, bathed....
And slept at 10pm...and I fell into such a deep sleep within a few minutes that I missed Ahboy's call at 1020pm...He called again, spoke with him for a few minutes and crashed again....

Till 1030 this morning. I'd slept for 12 hours straight without waking a single time...Been a long long time since I did that....But it felt great.. haha...

Wokr up and then had to do household chores the whole day...from washing clothes to changing sheets to even frying meesiam....piangzz...my mother worked me hard today.. haha...

And now at 930pm....I feel the still air is lulling me back to sleep again...
Ah...the warm confines of my new sheets....The way it cocoons me when I get into bed...

Think I'll go sleep again soon.... hee....
Long long entry today.. hahha....

oh my lovely pc....hang in there...

I loaded Trend Micro PC-cillin into my comp...
And now the comp is very unstable.

I've backed-up all my data...
It sorta crashed on me on Monday night. Blue screen and fatal erroe messages came out and all...Piangzz...

Left it to rest yesterday...And tried my luck today and voila..it's back to normal...
But the connection to the net is extremely S.L.O.W.....

*crosses fingers*
Hope it doesn't go bonkers on me...

rantings

Yesterday was the actual day of the Mid-Autumn Festival..
Interestingly, I did not stop to look at the moon...
I did not eat a single piece of mooncake...
I did not drink any tea...
I did not carry any lanterns..
I did not

Aand this morning, I wondered why I didn't do any of these...
Haha so tonight..I had a little piece of mooncake with yolk...
I took a slight glance at the big full moon...
I lit a candle to burn aromatheraphy oil...(take it like I am lighting a lantern ahha..)
And I am now munching on some pomelo...

Ok lah...abit late but well..I tried haha...

========
Mum's birthday today...Forgot to wish her in the morn...gosh..
Called her immediately when I got to office...

Apparently my Dad...at the grand old age of 65...tried his hand at being "romantic" and "acting cute"..hahaha...

After I left home this morning...he woke up..and was still lying in bed when a boliao idea hit him...
He used his mobile to ring my mum at home...she was just in the kitchen...
She ran to get the phone...and when she picked up...
He said "Happy Birthday Darling!!!"

And my mum went..."Oh thank you?! Err, who is this??"
Hahaa...LOL....

"Romantic" idea back-fired... haha

=========
Ok...1.5 weeks into a new job..
And I said something dumb to the Director during the weekly meeting this afterenoon...
In front of the whole team...Sigh...

Must have seemed like an airhead..

:(

=========
Parents going to Genting again in second week of October...

And hehe..conned ahboy into cooking something for me...

He said ok!?!?! Can't believe he said ok!

Oh well, let's see if my wish gets fulfilled haha...
Oh, instant noodles and any other instant food don't count..
That's one of the rules. Heh.

=========
It's been a long long time...since I actually "chased" and watched a locally-produced TV serial.

But the 9pm show on Channel 8 is surprisingly interesting.
Totally new approach..never before have they gone to such lengths to produce a police drama show of this sort...

Though it's a replica of those HK police shows...complete with the thing about a woman heading the police team...
It's still a nice idea to watch familiar faces do their "thang" on local shores...=)

=========
Hmm mm...company offsite is confirmed on 5th & 6th Nov.
In Msia. No $$ to go BKK.

Heard the guys are really good drinkers...at least those in this clique...
And um...there'll be a night session...

I feel like I am suddenly transported to LHUB offsite days... ahaha...lol...

=========
I messaged ahboy on the way home today.

"It is hazardous to work in suntec. Too distracting on the brain. Too taxing on the eyes. And too tough on the pockets. haha..."

It's true!! When you have to walk past like more than 30 shops before you reach the MRT...it takes helluva lot of will to stop your eyes from wandering around hahaha...Nah, make that 50 shops at least.. aha...

Anyway, I have deicded not to walk citylink when I am heading home after work anymore...
I will walk on the top...i.e. along the roads...Though it's hot...but for one, it's slightly nearer...And for two...there's nothing to distract me.. hehe..

my pissed off friday...

Friday night...was a pissed off night...
Too long a story to elaborate here...but in conclusion:

1) I did not get to eat nor drink at Brewerkz and/or Barfly.
2) I did not get to have a proper dinner, only managed a few chicken wings and 1 little piece of popiah.
3) I spent a bomb and hopped across 3 pubs and..............
4) I DID NOT REALLY ENJOY MYSELF AT ALL.

Went to Indochine Forbidden City then went to MOS.....
Then went to Crazy Elephant...Piangzz...

And yes, I think I will not want to go out or arrange anything with that particular person anymore.
Which particular person?
Someone who tries to act like a person who is everyone's best friend.
Somewho who doesn't want to seem like she's opposing anyone and wants to be be accepted by everyone.
Someone who wants to be seen as easy-going but yet has alot of comments to make in the end.
Someone who deep down in her heart wants things to be done her way.
Someone who gets very defensinve when questioned and shoves the crux to another person.

In conclusion.
It's my 2nd and final time going out with this group of people. And this person in particular.
