it's about time...quite literally.

yesterday was the 29th. i have a soft spot for this number.

April 29th, 2007.

therefore,

time A: 24 years, 6 months and counting. (although it isn't obvious...haha)

time B: 2 years, 7 months already. (contrary to popular/common belief...)

yeah...29 is a really significant number.

it's a pretty easy guess huh?

The 4 Stages of Nonchalence

Stage 1: Initially, there are probes and actions because one bothers to.

Stage 2: With time, one learns not to probe, but one is still bothered.

Stage 3: Soon, one gets used to it and learns to ignore, even when one is bothered.

Final Stage: Eventually, one can't even be bothered.

Completely off-my-head random stuff!

i haven't written anything really cheem in a long time.

AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO DO SO!!!

wahahahaha...

i'm a very thought-provoking person and i think about many things all the time. that's why i have so many journals lying around. i don't know if i'm the only one like this, but i always think about what i'm gonna write in the blog. and yes, i probably have 4 or 5 posts in my head now!

but today, i shall be so completely random and digress in all different directions.

• i went for the medical screening and i got a pes C (like the NSmen) because of my weight. baaaaaaaaaaa...it's so annoying that i got dropped 2 grades when i am healthy and fine in everything BUT my weight. it's just a couple of kilos what!!! then again, it doesn't matter coz i'm DXO. hur hur

• performing group auditions. it's quite shocking, and slightly disappointing that so many people can't read simple solfages. we didn't used to make a big deal out of this, but i really think it's important to know some basic music theory. so that was a mistake of the past amongst others, and i hope we can correct that. anyway, those who are in, keep it up and i hope we'll all do better. those who didn't make it, don't give up and just keep on working on it. with determination and the right attitude, you'll get what you want!

• which comes to ONE advice to people who really wanna sing well: JOIN THE BAND! (if you still can) note that i didn't say "pick up a musical instrument" because i realised that it's slightly different. and by "band" i mean like either a brass band or symphonic band. and pick up either a wind or brass instrument. SERIOUSLY, it helps in so many different ways - build up your stamina, you learn how to use your diaphragm, you pick up music theory faster, become more sensitive to music since you can pick out different instruments and it really trains your ears. i know some people who like to sing would join the choir, but i realised many people who are in choir tend to use a lot of falsettos because it blends nicer. they end up having big problems with their singing voice. plus, most people i know who can sing have been in a band, or most people in band can usually sing. (i'm not being ego here. this is just my point of view and some observations i've made.)

• i'm really lazy when it comes to cleaning and tidying. just see all my bags that i've used in the last week all over my floor and the chair...that's 6 bags already. and my dressing table is packed to the brim, and so is my side table. i'm a procrastinator lah! kena nagged so many times by so many people and still, i don't do anything about it. hahahaha...=X

• we must save money!!! it's this quarter-life crisis thing so i decided to share this revelation with everyone. i just got a savings-investment plan and i shall plan to save money while having enough to go for my japan trip at the end of the year. i think i have to reduce on 2 things: food and taxi. yesterday for the medical screening, i was afraid i'll be late so i alighted from the mrt halfway and decided to take a cab. BAD MOVE. the taxi stand had a queue and NO taxi, so i called a cab. WORSE MOVE. the minute i got on the cab, it was $8.50 already. $4 for the booking fee, $2 for peak period surcharge and $2.50 for the regular start-off fare. ARGH!!!

• btw, starting work on 7th may. at least i have 1 more week to slack/rest/play catch-up with friends/get myself used to sleeping early and waking up early.

• sometimes, it seems like there's nothing easier than logging on and blogging endlessly. other times, it seems such a chore to on the computer, wait for it to start-up, open explorer, type in the website, log into blogger and actually type a post. isn't that weird???

• i was thinking of a short holiday next week, but it's a bit rushed and in my bid to save money, i think i shouldn't. HOWEVER, i woulnd't mind a short getaway to batam or sentosa? kampong huts anyone? i can only take 2 more people. hahaha...

• "america's funniest home videos"...there's nothing funnier than babies and animals! wahahahaaa~~~

• i dropped my handphone today in a bid to get the house phone. which was ringing away, while in my sleepy, dreary moment. there are scratches on it now. and i'm pissed that there are scratches. =( AND i need to get a phone without a camera coz i can't use a camera phone at my new workplace. suggestions, anyone? preferably a nokia phone since i am pretty used to the functions.

A quick one...with 36% remaining!

i have to make this a quick post because i only have 36% remaining batt-life on my lap top and i'm too lazy to run and get the recharging wire from my sis's room.

oh crap! stoned for a while and it's down to 35%!

GOOD NEWS!

i've got the job at MINDEF as a Public Relations Officer!!!

I'll be going down tomorrow for a medical screening and also have a contract briefing and signing.

WOO~~~!!!

BAD NEWS...

i'm starting in May...so that leaves me with about 1 more week of zor bor-ing and slacking. baaaa... AT LEAST all the people that i've been bothering and going on and on about how bored i am will get some reprieve. especially those i've been bothering on msn. hahahaha...




it's been a pretty disappointing couple of days. at least now i have something to look forward to. and the steamboat dinner better come quick. god knows when i'll have the time again!

hrmph...

MY WARMEST CONGRATULATIONS TO

KRISTY & JINGWEI!!!

So when's the engagement party???

WE NEED A PARTY!!!

I'm so happy for both of you! -hugz-

these make me smile...

1. when he pokes me in the car, and i'm all strapped up with nowhere to run.

2. when he took care of me the whole night, putting cold compress on my forehead, sponging my head/neck, and feeding me my meds when i was having a very high fever.

3. whenever my short legs can't walk fast enough and i lag behind, he will stop, wait for me to catch up, and put his hand up (like he's about to take a baton) for me to grab.

4. when he calls me and goes in a cutesy voice, "hullo?"

5. whenever he act like a small boy just to get what he wans...zhe me da yi ge ren, hai gen wo sa jiao? haha

:)

vicious, fibrous pumpkin...

i'm had lunch with stef 5 hours ago at cedele at wheelock.

and i'm still feeling full! and yes steffie, i think u are right about pumpkin being fibrous. the pumpkin soup was vicious (the very soup shir loves). and i had tomato chicken with mash and vege. haha...this is funny. stef and i were discussing about the dish - if it's a red chicken, or chicken dat looks like tomato, or chicken fed with tomato, or a tomato shaped like a chicken!

it's just grilled chicken with poached tomatoes on top.

hahahaaaaa...we are so lame.

it was great meeting stef, as it always is. it really makes me day, week, even month! too bad shirley wasn't around. we both miss her crap.

shirley dear, you are BEAUTIFUL! we all have down days but you must pick yourself up and pull yourself together. we miss you and love you babe. you'll always be beautiful, inside and outside. HUGZ HUGZ!!!

so i went for my 2nd interview today. it went alright, pretty well i hope. got to meet the heads of the department and how the office looks like. once again, I HOPE I GET IT!

oh god! think i can give dinner a miss until i can...

ok, too much info.

=X

busy week ahead!

i have a really busy week ahead, starting from tomorrow.

went causeway point today with my sis and i did some shopping. bought office wear (finally, some office wear that makes me look chic!) and a new pair of heels and a sky high VCD for laughs. i'm thinking about getting this guess bag. i'm really into HUGE bags. this one isn't that big but i like it all the same. thinking lah...cause i shouldn't spend so much when i'm not earning (much).

but glad to say, financially, i'm still doing ok. luckily i've been saving a couple of months before, but the savings are actually for my planned Japan trip at the end of the month. i hope i can keep it up!

tomorrow is my 2nd interview for the mindef job. i reeeeeeeeeeeally wanna get it!!! and after that, will be meeting steffie for lunch/coffee at wheelock. YAY!!! miss you dear! can't wait to see you!!! the dear one will be back in the afternoon, but i think he'll need some good rest.

thursday, i have a tentative meeting with my ex-classmate from cjc, GJ. he's been complaining that all my bestest girl frens have become clients of his, all except me. haha...fine...we'll see how lah. have a class in the evening and then there's auditions at night at MS. note: it's gonna be pretty strict, so do your best! :)

friday seems clear for now, but you never know.

saturday is a long day, but sunday is a short one. so that evens out!

oh man, i really wanna get a dog! i'm glad so many people msged me about that joo chiat pet shop that was giving away dogs (though i heard it was a scam). do tell me if there are anymore lobangs k??? i've been promising beckham that i'll get him a playmate in the form of a doggie. i can't wait to see some inter-species bonding happen. haha...

i think i'm the disciplinarian at home. my rabbit bullies everyone, but me. hahaha!

16th April 2007

half of april has gone by.

wow!

the entire first week of april, i was soooo sick that i hardly could get out of bed. each time i tried, i just blacked out. haven't been THAT sick before. i was wondering if that would get me admitted somehow, but (un)fortunately, it didn't. just made me really lembek and lose me a bit more weight, weight that i already cannot afford to lose.

and then there was last week. can't remember much i did but i guess the virus made me really weak coz i lost my appetite a lot. hardly ate in the day, and over-ate at night, resulting in a little indigession and then loss my appetite again the next day. vicious cycle! don't think i fully recovered from being sick, and i still don't know what got me!

i did get shortlisted for a job and had to go for a test (which was actually quite fun), caught a free movie with a not-as-handsome-as-usual takuya kimura and taught. most of the rest of my time was slacking and being in bed. woahahaha...

i think, i'll start on the ad today. haha...it's about time. i got the program and the info and the files already, so i should really get started on it.

ah~~~wonder how long will my leisurely days last.

so exhausted!

ahhh...i'm so tired. my jaws are hurting and my throat is slightly sore from 6+ hours of teaching.

6 STRAIGHT hours!

and there's a real reason why i'm so exhausted too. coz weekends are reeeeeeeeeeally hectic days for me. really.hectic.days.

for starters, i had class on saturday, but just a measly 2 hours with the kids. after that, was singing songs, honing my skills. there were some new songs in MS, so i was going through them, particularly zhuan shu tian shi and bei pan. hur hur....+5, +4 respectively, thank you very much. then i went to biao yi biao...sang all my coco lee and ah mei songs.

that's called practice, people. yes...i do practice. it doesn't just POP OUT like that, contrary to popular belief.

then after a couple of hours, tommy, doraemon and i decided to go down TPY to lend our support to the CSS-ers. we waited for about an hour coz by the time we reached, the singing ended already. anyway, to cut things short, congrats to zhengning, marcus and zi jie for getting through. i know nic is pretty disappointed but like i told everyone else who didn't make it through the 2nd round, it's not the end of the world lah. important thing is that you enjoy and learn from the process and NOT GIVE UP!

aiyoh, i don't like being so philosophical, and so i shall cease.

after that, i went town at around 8. walked a bit, and got tired, so i sat down at coffee bean at taka, sipped tea and wrote my journal. waited for the usual suspects to make their way down. the dear one was taking a nap after a particularly tiring flight. fast-forward again, we finally met at around 10+ at XIN WANG (argh!!!!) and our movie was WILD HOGS!! i must say, it was really enjoyable and we all laughed our socks off. hur hur...i wouldn't mind watching it again man.

BY THE TIME i got home, it was 2am already. i had to wash up and sleep coz in 6 hours time, i was UP again!

had to go pray to my maternal grandparents. it was hot! and crowded! and filled with the stinging smoke from the incense! and after that, i had to rush off to MS for class.

that was where the 6 hours of teaching came in. really ah, it's not easy teaching back-to-back for 6 straight hours. NO JOKE OK??? my back hurts, my shoulders are sore and my throat is over-worked. no complains lah coz i really enjoy doing it, but seriously, it's not easy.

LUCKILY, my day was made much better with the arrival of the dear one. he picked me up for dinner and we headed to lai lai for dinner. we had a bowl of 卤肉饭 each, 盐酥鸡, a bowl of dry beef noodles (mostly he ate it) and shared a bubble green tea. we are pigs!

okie...enough about me. just realised many people have been writing really angry posts, me included. we should just breathe and meditate and the world will be a much better place.

...

...

...

right......................come one! we all need to vent once in a while, so it's ok to be angry and to write it all out. better out than in, i say. anyway, i figured out a really good way of venting too, and that's actually PHYSICALLY writing. that's why i have journals in my bag and around the room (and used to have one in the working place too). i write when i get pissed about something or somebody.

but the REAL key is to write things that will make you feel good about yourself. like 10 reasons why you're blessed, or 10 things that i have and others don't, or 10 things to be happy about...etc etc...you get my point huh? (i have this 'thing' with lists.)

but really, it feeeeeeeeels daaaaaaaaaaaamn gooooooooooooooood!!!

haha!

try it! (you don't actually have to post it. the act of writing a list is therapeutic enough.)

ooohhhmm......

It's ok if you screwed up your own life, but don't try to screw with other people's lives just caused yours is.

shush...

i wrote a post about assholes, bitches and freaks/fuckers.

yeah...

loads of swear words inside.

vulgarities galore!

but nah...i decided not to publish it.

it makes me sound childish.

and i'm not a child.

i'm bored and i have tons of free time, but i'm not a kid.

and i didn't want to rub the shine off my previous post, which i thought was really quite funny and witty. (hahahahaha...)

anyway, i did say something in that post. that i'll post about marriages and weddings soon. hur hur hur...

and i miss the dear one already. he's flying off tonight for melbourne. bah....i'm gonna be even more bored now!!!!

aww...don't be a sour grape...haha!

let's talk about movies and TV!

7-1!!!

ok, i still can't quite believe it. (see previous post)

anyway, shall do some updating here.

yesterday, anthony had tickets to the premiere of this new takuya kimura movie "love and honour". made a couple of calls and in the end, got shiyu and alexis to go with. (the dear one had to study for exam...aww...) tony wasn't free either, but yuxuan and peishan (sichun's sis and cousin) went too. somehow, we managed to con zhengning and marcus to go. they left halfway through the show though.

lao shi always manages to get premiere tickets. don't ask me how. my job is (or was) to call people to make up the numbers, coz he always took 10 without thinking who to go. that's a perk of my job. going for free movie premieres and events and getting freebies and meeting stars. (yes zhengning...STARS...don't worry, not my starbucks.) k lah, i'm kinda over the meeting-famous-people-excitement long ago becos i never really did get excited in the first place.

anyway, ABOUT the movie. the only reason why i decided or even considered to go watch a japanese samurai movie, was very purely...TAKUYA KIMURA. no, i'm not a big fan of his, but hey, i'm all for cute guys. and since i was free...why not?

BUT OH MY GOD!!!! he can't carry off the samurai look lah!!!

the bald patch in front, was totally my entertainment of the night. i couldn't help it but laugh each time his face was on the screen. wahahahaaaaa...very bad.

ok, the movie wasn't too bad. nice, usual, ancient Japan samurai kind of storyline. low budget production with high budget star, and a whole load of emotions - tears, humour, love and honour, and of course being tickled by the bald patch.

after the movie, alexis and shiyu wanted to go for supper, and i was getting hungry, so we decided on food. so nice of them to go all the way to woodlands for supper. cheese prata...yumz!!!

anyway, i'm watching the dance floor now.

seriously...

...

...

...

without trying to be too mean...

...

...

...

the show is bad lah.

the dancers aren't that good. a sight for sore eyes. i mean, i can't dance, but i'm an audience. surely, you are not supposed to torture your audience like that. and the judges...i can't even begin. i don't know what the hell they are trying to prove or sometimes, what they are trying to say. and it's a TV show for god sake! u are not supposed to have a second of slience. it's weird lah!

puh...local productions.

and jade seah. i really think she should just stick to scripted television shows that are NOT showed live. don't tell me she is hosting MSU because the show isn't that great as it is already.

why can't there be better hosts like ryan seacrest or even xiao zhu luo zhi xiang??? i mean, even xiao gui is better anytime!

but i must say, jeremy dreadlocks from PSS is doing quite a decent job hosting shows. i quite enjoy watching him on TV. i know it makes him look stupid sometimes, but that's what hosts do. they make themselves the humour so we audience actually enjoy the show. he's funny lah!!!

i think i'm gonna be hammered by mdc but seriously, i don't believe there are no better hosts or artistes out there. stop using those pretty or handsome or pan-asian ones JUST coz they look good.

like the new show about medical specialists just now. another headache...how can an artiste be so bad?!?!?! (and i'm not talking about jean danker...she's alright.)

HATE it when people don't or can't speak proper english and enunciate or pronounce properly when they are on TV. i mean, come on, you don't have to have an accent. just speak PROPER english. don't anyhow add an "s" where you're not supposed to or add past-tenses or wrong grammar or pause when you're not supposed to.

GO...FOR...ENGLISH...LESSONS!

anyway, i'm only hanging on for american idol. watched it on starworld just now but i wanna see it again. this year's idol finalists are different. there's a different vibe about them. quite excited to see who will win in the end. ooooh...i like melinda, but she didn't do too well. chris and blake are the other 2 i'm rooting for.

oh god! jade seah is back after the commercial break.

help!!!

7-1!!!

i can't believe it!

Man Utd trashed Roma...ROMA!!! not some kuching kurap squad. one of the TOP italian clubs...

7-1!!!

i'm watching the repeat.

and i still can't believe it!! wow!!!

whatever i wanted to blog about have to wait until i get over the exhilaration of my dearest man utd trashing roma.

2nd interview

yay...got a call for 2nd interview for the mindef job (the one that i got thru the psychometric and personality tests, interview and writing exercises).

it's next week.

oh let me be a civil servant!!!

hahahahaaaa....

considering random stuff

this isn't a random post.

it's a post about random things that i've been thinking about.

for one, i heard on radio that civil servants are getting a pay rise and higher bonuses this year to match with the private sector. so i told dear that maybe i should seriously considering joining the civil service.

hahahaaaaaa....

that can be 2 things. 1 is that hopefully mindef decides to hire me for the post i interviewed (and got psychometrically tested and did a writing exercise for) or for the other post which i am about to be tested for soon. don't ask me what it is with mindef. really, i don't know.

the other thing is that i join teaching or be an education management executive, which i am serious considering especially after watching "freedom writers" (hence the long post about my academic life).

and today, i took out my uni text "The Penguin History of the Twentieth Century" to read for leisure.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~~~

anyway, i did say that if all else fails, i join teaching as a career. (how's that for the propaganda?)

BUT WAIT...i am still gonna check out my options first and relax a bit more.

and then i wondered what i'll do for leisure. i mean, i loved music and singing, and i still do. that's why i went to learn singing and all, but now that i'm kinda done with the learning and actually TEACHING, i feel like i should pick up something else. i can't "learn" singing again, not technically anyway. so i thought of a couple of stuff that i could do with the dear one.

ballroom dancing?

salsa??

hahahahaaaa...he can salsa already, but i can't. he's already twirling me like a top. i doubt i'll want to give him more chances to twirl me. i don't like feeling like a top.

it's a thought though, huh?

freedom to change

just came back from a movie with the dear one. the movie was really good food for thought. it was "Freedom Writers", starring hilary swank.

i won't spoil it by saying what it is and anyway, a synopsis can be found in countless areas. but i will say that it was indeed a good movie to watch, not so much for its plot or acting or cinematography, but simply because it leaves you to think a bit more.

think about how lucky we are to live in a place that is relatively safe; one where we don't have to worry about walking the streets late at night and be afraid of getting gunned down.

think about how we may have taken harmony and peace for granted, and the atroceties and hardships people before us had to tolerate or endure or go through for us to enjoy it today.

think about how lucky we are to have education, and a place to sleep in, and people who care.

lotsa people have said stuff about how elitist Singapore is and how the system works for the elite only. i don't know if i'm considered part of the elite.

i realised these couple of weeks that not many people know i have a degree in communication studies, 2nd upper honours. not many people know what kind of grades is necessary to get into the course either. someone even told me "u mean u need good grades to get in ah?".

yeah...so i HAD pretty alright grades to get me in, but that doesn't mean i didn't work for it as hard as people who were...say, trying to get a diploma or whatever else. and i had my fair share of downs. people think "elites" get the easy way out just coz "they can study" or whatever logic they have. for starts...i don't think i am "elite", but people may think otherwise.

anyway, we are not arguing about whether i am part of the elite or not.

it's about getting dirty and working your way up. i had to work my way up too, ya know.

(ok...it's gonna be a long "life-story-ish" post.)

i wasn't in a very good primary school or high class kindergarten. there were only 4 classes in each level, and that adds up to about 160 students a year. wasn't always the brightest. i remember scoring 100% for chinese in primary one (who doesn't??) because i had to write 2 pages of chinese characters everyday from kindergarten, and 4 pages on weekends. come primary 2, i did badly in maths. i couldn't do fractions and time tables. so i had to memorize all my time tables from 2 to 12 and face the wall memorizing until i could remember.

i did alright then...until primary 4 streaming. by the end of the year, i got streamed to em2...the normal people. problem came when there wasn't enough em1 in my year to start 1 whole class. so 14 of us em2-ers had to combine to the em1 class.

it sucks.

my teacher showed favouritism and thought we em2 were idiots or less capable. during the em1's higher chinese class, the 14 of us had to go to the library for self-study. my morale was damn low and i didn't do well. my mum had to resort to tuition for me and finally, she met the teacher and told her off. i was determined to do well, to beat the em1 people in my class, or be better than them. maybe i couldn't study as well as them, but i knew i had something special for maths. so i worked hard at it.

i scored 97% for my psle prelims.

4 people in my class scored 100%.

i was devastated. but i just tried harder. come PSLE results...i was 1 of the 15 people in my school to get into Special stream...and there were 26 em1 students.

so i went st nicks. yeah...elite school right? right, but i felt so out of place because i never did higher chinese and now i had to. my entire 4 years at st nicks...i didn't do that well. was in sub-science, and there were only 3 sub-science classes out of the 10. how's that for morale?? once again, i got combined into a pure-science class. so everytime it's science, we had to split and go join the sub-science class. i wasn't gonna get look down again, so i made sure i top my sub-science class every test and every exam.

and i did.

but i wasn't doing well in A Maths. i had 5 maths teachers in sec 2 alone, changing 7 times in a year. didn't do well..and it dragged my A Maths down. my mum forced me to go tuition after sec 3 coz i failed my A Maths...got E8. i worked really hard over the holidays and the first few months of sec 4. i HAD to catch up. maths was supposed to be my best subject!!! so i did...and i got an A in my first major sec 4 test.

fast forward to prelims...didn't do too well. got into CJC for first 3 months coz of afiliation. 'O' level results were pretty alright, but instead of moving to a "better" JC, i decided to stay put.

i must say, the 2 years in CJC were probably the hardest, but most fun, enriching, fulfilling and best years of my academic life. i didn't really know what was being conscientious until then. did ok for year 1...but year 2 was different. i had much more activities and was occupied a lot, so my grades did suffer a little. my mum used to say my results are like the stock market, fluctuate a lot. one minute A, next minute D or E or O! hahaha...

the worst was accounts. my accounts teacher even told me to drop the subject coz i did so badly. i once scored 2/25 for a test. oh man! so i had to make up for it. i literally did the 10 year series twice over, asked all my friends things i didn't know and just practiced like mad.

got A in 'a' levels. from FAIL...to A. that was sweet.

so the moral of the story isn't me bragging or telling my life story.

my point is, not everyone sees the difficult periods of life. everybody sees the nice end result, but they don't see the struggles or the tough times (no matter how meaningless it may seem). every little thing affects us, and at the end of the day, we have the freedom to change it around.

so we should embrace this freedom to change!




aiyah...go watch the movie! haha....

lying in bed...

i'm tired.

yes, it's possible.

even when i've been in bed most of the entire day and doing nothing more streneous than lifting my hand up to get the remote control.

perhaps the exhaustion comes from the long day and late night yesterday.

THURSDAY 5 April 2007

i decided it's time to get out of bed and try to venture out of home. had to trudge my way to MS (it's Music Story by Anthony Png) and see what needs to be done. i've had calls and SMSes throughout my "confinement" in bed and it's time i go check out why. anyway, i still felt like shit because of the drowsy meds and the many days of inactivity made my whole body stiff.

did some stuff in MS, mostly trying to get the wireless done, but to no avail. nvm la...at least the internet works. took some stuff back home to do. anthony wants me to do up some ads for him. oh, and i saw my new name card! yeah, i got a name card even though i'm only teaching part-time. wat sial...

anyway, MS is more or less settled i guess. just need to get a couple of things set up, one of which is the new performing group. there's an event coming up end of the month and a couple of shows in may/june holidays. i don't really rest, do i? nope i don't...in fact, i have always HAD something in mind. it's a matter of timing i say. wait-and-see. so yeah, tommy should be getting the logistics ready and we'll be on a roll soon.

and since we are at the topic of choir, THE OLD CHOIR finally met up yesterday night for dinner! k lah, so it was only 8 of us. me, jeremy, sylvia, jay, zhu ming, evelyn and darren @ swensons in orchard. too bad the rest couldn't make it. have to make a big shout-out to sylvia though, for organising it. it ain't easy man! she wasted...i mean...used so many SMSes. haha...

so we chatted and ate...and as usual, made fun of zhuming like old times. i hope zhuming and darren will come back to choir when we get everything set up. they'll be a good addition and they could bring some experience to the group together with evelyn and sylvia . (i do suspect the new choir will be a pretty young bunch, which is good!)

tony joined us later, and we went to watch shooter. it was a pretty draggy show. almost fell asleep at the starting half hour. after the movie, we went to HK cafe AGAIN!!! arghhh....i have phobia of that place man. so we ate and chat (again). by the time i reached home, i was beat! just washed up and plopped straight to bed.



say..........

i seldom write "how-my-day-went" kinda stuff like this post. hahahahaaaa...so NOT used to it.

guess this is gonna happen often since i have more time on my hand.

yawnz...

i could get used to it!

what luck!

guess what?

i fell tremendously sick on the very first day that i am officially jobless!

all of a sudden, i had a little sore throat...couple of hour later, i was burning up at 38 deg. by the time i got home under my sheets, iwas probably at least 39 or more. really burning...really bad. the whole night, i had fever on and off and my whole body ached so much i couldn't relly sleep as much as i wanted to.

and then, day 2, in the midst of my on-again-off-again fever, my period came.

i've been lying in bed for 2 whole days.

so now...my whole body feels weak (only ate 4 portions of porridge in 2 days), my face is a mess, and i'm having cramps.

and i queued like 30 mins to see the doc yesterday night, and the quack saw me for 2 mins only. he gave me a medicine for each symptom that i had. kaoz...i could have just medicated myself loh.

argh...feels like shit.
