I feel so bloated!!

Ok, stomach upset..feeling weird whole day long.
Reason for it? Haha, been eating too much for the past week...
Seriously, I've been out everyday..for almost every meal...(except breakfast of cos)...

Saturday was a fun day.. haha. Went to cut hair in the morning with ahboy..Had our lunch, and then made our way to Qian Hu Fish Farm for fish spa therapy! Hee..It was a eye-opener...not so much about the fishes but more of seeing him squirm like mad!!
Piangzz...the whole pool of about 8 people, he was the only one who was squirming around, giggling to himself and generally being so unlike himself hahhaa...

It was kinda ticklish lah..imagine 100 fishes nibbling at your feet, your toes, your calves, your ankles..haha. Went for a short walk around the premise after that..Koi, Arowana, Goldfishes (lots of them) and many freshwater aquarium fishes...

Saturday night was MJ night...with the sec sch folks. Darn, everytime I sit facing the window, I will lose $$. That's what happened the other time too!!! Lost $8...

Sunday night...had a nice catch-up dinner with Jenaline. Haa, what else could we talk about? Myself, her sister, her, and of cos...the thing that bound us close together in the first place...LHUB..gossips, scandals, problems, heartaches...aw man...so many things happening in LHUB....

Monday...xmas eve..went into office and lo and behold..there were a few pressies on my desk! Wah lau....paiseh, cos I didn't get anything for others. Only for 3 ladies. Darn, ok, will get stuff next year...
Watched "National Treasure" in the evening...I will say it again. I don't like Nicholas Cage. Not last time when he had more hair...and not now when he has less hair and a paunch.

Sigh..kinda tired...from work & the festivities.. hhaa...
dozing off....

zzz zzzzz...

it's late..i am sleepy..but i still wanna write.. haha...

I am happy...

- Met up with some French classmates at Dempsey Road Wine Network just now..Munched on some nice foods and drank this red wine which was pretty good I think...Only thig is that it ended early...We left there at 10-15pm...:)

-Met up with Daniel after that.. haha last minute impromptu meeting..Was gonna head for MJ with Ling & gang till I found out that they cancelled the mj session...So went to Blk 85 for bak chor mee with Dan instead.. ahha...our usual meeting place..Talked for 2.5hrs plus...about me, about him...about others...:)

- I had my best Scrabble ever...seriously. Never ever had such a powerful scrabble ...not even during my competitive days...The word was Evictees...The letter C was already in place...
And this word..garnered me a total of 176 points...I think such an occurrence is so rare that it warrants a mention in this blog...For those not in the know..usually a Scrabble can help you win only about 70-90 over points...crossing 100 is good...wat more..I was almost reaching 200.. ahha...:)))))


I am sad...

- Okok...it's on Scrabble again....damn it. I lost to this lady called Alison..I was leading all the way till I had crappy tiles....argh........:(

- I just found out from Daniel just now. Zorro passed away in August. He didn't tell me till now...sigh...poor thing...he was a very beautiful husky. A little on the plump but his fur was gorgeous...Apparently he has kidney infection, subsequently kidney failure...and he was put on dialysis...was in the vet hospital for a week..till he succumbed to the infection...sigh...:(

- Within the last 2 weeks..I kena so many arrows till I am sorta immune...Only thing is that my blood pressure is probally increasing due to my naturally "kan cheong spider" attitude...I've got 7 papers to write....all due in the 1st week of January....and there are some papers that I have no idea how to do...sigh...:(

Jackson's Poem

This is the poem that Jackson sent me the other day...
And I happen to think that it's very nice...
A little sad, a little lost, a little helplessness...all rolled up into 6 sweet sentences...
I like sad ditties...

~~~~~~~~~
A group of sparrows...
Hiding our sorrows...
Playing and mellow...
Who will know?
What is tomorrow?
Which road to follow?

~~~~~~~~~

Will be seeing him on xmas eve perhaps...
Shall ask him what is the title of this short lil poem...:)

The weekend went by with a blurrr...

Had my test on Saturday...The written was tough..We all complained that we didn't have enough time to complete hahaa...
Oral was also tough, but not so tough..Only thing was that I had alot of pauses in between ahha..
I kept going errr...ahhh...uhmmm...

haha...maybe the teacher gave up on me and shooed me out faster.. haha..

Went for a back massage near ahboy's place after the test...wel...hmm..it wasn't that good...somehow those thai massages seem so much better!!

Watched Warlords...1st half of the show was dark, bleak, gory but with enough adrenaline to keep my eyes wide open! And I think I was grabbing ahboy's hand so hard till he poked me to complain... ahha..
2nd half of the show was...zzzzzzz......................dumb plot...And it's such a waste of Takeshi Kaneshiro's talent to have him in such a show...haha..

==========
I have recently discovered the joy of Doritos Nachos Cheese...just a few pieces can make the tummy growl for more hhaa...or should I say the tongue?

And well..Celia will be mighty glad to hear this...but I have recently too become a convert of Subway..

Used to dislike it alot cos I wasn't used to having bread for lunch and the nearest subway was actually kinda far from my previous workplace...haha...
But well...over time I found that it's quite nice actually..and yeah..given that there's a subway directly below my current office.. hehe...;p

==========
Ah Seng's wedding last night...Evonne looked so pretty...
(p/s: Taz, if you're reading this...it's not our Evonne yah...so happened hsi wife's name is also spelt this way...;p)

Saw some people whom I've not seen for ages...Yufen, Tian Feng, Rui Xin...MingYao & Zoey...
Piangzz..even Qibin & Edmund were there.. ahha...

Daniel is back and the first thing I made him do was to fetch me to the wedding dinner haha...
The next thing I did was well....to get him to fetch me back home.. hahhaa...evil I know...;p

Service of the place sucked..but some dishes were quite alright...Dragon Gate @ HarbourFront Centre...And oh, I am so not used to Seng in a tux...

A piece of big news..was that well...our own Evonne...is legally married...
Wah lau and no one knew...If I didn't meet her coincidentally last Friday..and if I didn't ask her about him last night...we might still not have known haha..

==========
Will be heading for a haircut this Saturday with ahboy...
Then off to Qian Hu for fish therapy!

==========
Ok, I am kinda stressed out...Workwise, kena arrowed to update some statistics to prep my boss up for a meeting with a Minister...I will need to attend too...bleah...dunno whether got any protocol or what...Or whether I need to be scanned for any foreign suspicious objects on me.. ahha..ok lah...abit exaggerating..

Saddled with personal stuff...so many gatherings coming up...day by day week by week...Been gasping for breath for the past few weeks (or has it been months??) already...
Heng, at least my test is over..

Had dinner with Enigma last night..
He was speaking french to me all throughout the MRT ride home...Glad to say that I can understand 95% of what he was saying! haha compared to like 5% of what he was saying last time.. ahha...

And the funny thing was..he was gossipping about others on the train..and they wouldn't have understood.. ahhaa

Je veux je sors ce soir.
Mais alors, maintenant, je mange nouilles seulement, chez moi.
Et apres, peut etre j'etudierai mon francais...et puis, peut etre je regarderai le film Heroes.

I wish I was out tonight.
But well, now, I am eating noodles alone, at home.
After this, maybe I'll study my french, and then perhaps, I'll watch the show Heroes.

I am tired. Today was a normal day.
But I was abit emotional.

During lunch, we had a small party. It was the birthdya celebration for Boon Kiat, Aarom, Lester and Jasmine. It was good, a happy occasion.
We bought KFC, Canadian Pizza and 2 cakes from NYDC.

There were the 2 girls from Legal Department, Clarissa & Jessica, Jane, Sandra, Evangeline and me. We ate till 2 in the afternoon.

%^*&

you always need to have the last say don't you????????????

Fucking cheesed off.

That dank acridity

It's been 3 and a half years....

The feeling is still there...hidden under a layer of petals...
The fragrance prevails generally and is overpowering at times...
But at times it falters and a dank acridity seeps through the veil...

The fragrance almost always manages to wrap it up again...
Hiding it, overwhelming it, choking it to a quiet retreat..

But once in a while...that once in a while..
It appears. Just to show that it's still there...hidden..but not entirely gone..

I don't like it. I don't at all.
Cuz it reminds me of the times I went against my 6th sense.
Against the better knowledge of my gut..
To step into a shithole..

And it scares me when I choose to ignore my 6th sense again...
Of what might come..

sigh

It's tough. Family relationships are hard enough.
Now there's inter-family relationships.

What the fuck.

And it's not even official yet.

Wah lan eh. I don't need this now. I seriously don't.

===========
Jackson called me just now...surprise surprise...
The last he called was earlier this year I think..or was it last year?

He composed a short poem today and sms-ed it to me...Good for him..
Did it while on the bus, on his way home from his rehab centre.

He's on new medication...apparently treats him better...mind's clearer than usual...

good lah good...and he's writing poems again..hmm..
encouraged him to jot them in a notebook.....

i just want to sleep

The past week was really just a blur.. haha..
And my stomach has been overworked..
It's the first time in my life when I've eaten 3 8-course Chinese dinners within a single week...

Thursday's conference with the Chinese delegates was a nightmare...Half the time I couldn't understand what the hell was going on..the conference was 95% in Chinese...
We hosted them for dinner and small talk was a chore to me...cos I had trouble expressing myself haha..

Together with a male colleague, we brought about 5-6 Chinese guys to Wine Bar @ Zouk on Thursday night..gosh...first time there with a bunch of Chinese people...
It was a little weird..sitting there sipping red wine and well..listening them talk in mainland
Chinese.....

Friday night was at Jumbo seafood..The spread was relatively good...pity I couldn't eat much by then...

=========
Planning a trip to Ho Chi Minh...hope it turns out well...
Lol...nothing has been booked yet!!

=========
Ok...all my invites have come in...
Total of 3 bombs in December...Celia, Ah Seng & Hid's sister...

Time to save again...

=========
French is demoralising now...
Feel kinda dumb in class...and everytime I make a mistake..the teacher says it's not a mistake to be made...either that or he just gives me a weird look on his face before he moves on...

Sigh....................................=(

=========
I have close to 8-9 papers to write in the month of December...
Crosses fingers..hope I don't have to "kena" grammar lessons from the boss again.. haha...

=========
Granny is still in hospital...Sigh. Also dunno when she can be discharged...
It's been 2 months already...

bleah...

sigh..poor sweetie...1st connecting flight delayed cos of weather conditions...
So he missed his main flight as well...

now he's gotta fly to london instead and wait for a night flight back to SG...and he'll be stuck at Heathrow airport for 6 hours before his flight...

instead of reaching SG at 7am in the morning..he'll be back only at 7pm in the evening...
Hope I can rush down to airport in time tomorrow after work...

wish I could be like Hiro Nakamura of Heroes...

Damn it. Inflation rate was at 3.6% in October alone.
Way higher than what any of the analysts out there predicted.

Tamade. Went to buy my fav snacks from this shop in Tampines Central...prices per piece were up by $0.20!! kaozz....but ordered liao..so no choice but to pay for them...

Super super rising costs of living man....
I am glad I got the house before prices started to go up like now....

And hmm mm...the salary increment I got when I changed a new job..seems to be insignificant now...hm mmm...

=========
It's official. My apartment is now in existence!
Haa...My flat was "born" on 22nd Nov 2007!

On 22nd nov, when I saw the construction site again...They finally capped the 14th floor...i.e. the finally put the ceiling up...

So ya. my flat is officially in existence liao. ahahha..

Dropped an email to ahboy on Friday...=D

=========
French is seriously tough this semester...Getting tongue-tied...Getting blur...
Forgetting my vocab...even simple words like big!!

=========
Had a lovely meet-up with XL & Kym last night...
Dunno why...maybe cos I was thinking to myself..

"Wow, when I got to know the two of them under exceptional circumstances back in 1999...I did not ever expect to be drinking beer and eating chix wings with them 8 years down the road..."

LOL...ok, getting sentimental again...

But wahey!! I'll be XL's "sista" next year...2ndOct 2008 to be exact...=))

And will be Ally's "sista" too in November 2008....

=========
Xiao Bai...are u still around?

PIANGZZ!

Just got a call...heard my phone ringing and went to take a look...
ID read as "Mun Kitt"..

My jaw dropped...Mun Kitt??? Called wrongly is it? I left LHUB 6 months ago liao leh..

Picked up the call....haha...turned out he really was looking for me...gosh..
Was asking if I still had the soft copy of an analysis that I did for him about a year plus back...
Hahahaa.....turned out that they were discussing something this afternoon..and Zee wanted evidence of something.....something about WSH, a department whose marketing efforts I handled last time..

And I was the one who did the "evidence" last time...Mun Kitt mentioned me in the meeting...so they talked for awhile about me...
And now...they're looking for me!! For that piece of "evidence"....

LOL....I don't think I have it anymore...

my lovely bed...

it's nice to be home before 6pm...Was at SGH for my own medical appointment today...
Not to visit anyone..choi choi choi...
John Thomas was still the same old nice guy... haha..cheerful, smiling and witty...

My next appointment with him is in...2009.....
Good. Means I am kept on his records on a "just-in-case" basis...
I'm up for an MRI scan again in 2009...just to make sure that things are alright...
Apparently this and next year is too early for a scan hmm mm....

dad & gran

For the first time in my life:

- I covered my father with a blanket
- I wiped my father's lips with a wet towel
- I held a paper bag for him while he vomitted

Mum spent the whole day in hospital...from 7am till 9pm at night...
Adrian and I went there after work...he was still in the operating theatre...since 1230pm.

Was only wheeled out at 750pm. And went straight into ICU...or rather CCU which stands for Coronary Care Unit...the ICU equivalanent for heart op patients...

Mum just sms-ed me that he looks better already this morning....so at least that's something good....

Heading down again this evening...

=========
Just received an SMS from DaSao who's in CGH with Gran...
Hip is painful again....All of a sudden...she was fine for the past few days...

Doc sending her for xray again...sigh...
