i can't hear anymore bad lounge music!
i'm in hong kong now.
yes. the hotel is not too bad. the flight in was ok.
but i'm listening to bad lounge music. think midi-style karaoke. oh my god. i wanna die.
if not for the fact that i need to use the internet and they only have cable broadband and not wireless and i DON'T have a cable...i won't be here. risking my ears from this trauma.
and the singer looks like...oh...i shall not start.
i need to get a cable tomorrow. grrr...and i even bought a headset with mic to use skype on!!!
grrr....
oh great. after "winter wonderland", it's now "felix navidad". ARGHH!!!!

i'll live without a tagbox
i don't suppose many people read my blog nowadays. for one, i don't update as much. two, i have nothing much to write about, except for random musings and even more schizo-self indulgent chatter. three...well, there isn't a third reason.
and so, not many leave comments anymore. even my tagboard is rather inactive. that is, when i HAD a tagboard. for some reason, chatterbox keeps screwing up my tagboard. in a fit, i deleted it and decided i'm not gonna have a tagboard.
so there! i have no patience in setting yet another one up to have them screw it up and not find it after all my troubles. in any case, if anyone REALLy has something to say, they can just leave me a comment. i'm in my own world anyway. who's to say that i won't leave comments on my own blog posts for myself?
nah...i'm not that pathetic. yet.
so anyway...
i actually have nothing else to say.
heh heh

cleaned up
it's been a quiet weekend. no plans. except for sunday, which i have to work.
i'm rather proud of myself today.
i cleaned up my room a little more. that's how it should be, a little at a time. and i think i did a pretty decent job. at least it's not as dusty and untidy as a day ago.
a few other things i need to do in the next couple of weeks/months:
1. pack for hongkong
2. create my "new" room plan and budget
3. box up my stuff (depending on when my sis is gonna move out)
and i think after hongkong, there would be more unpacking and re-organising of my wardrobe.
oh and i headed to ikea today. got some stuff there. always exciting to go ikea...my happy place.
so domesticated this weekend. drinking green tea, reading a book, watching tv. i almost didn't want to on the laptop, but i thought, why not?
ok...the little one is whining and asking for his dinner already. heh heh...he was so desperate for some meatballs when we were having our dinner. poor thing.
till the next weekend...

lucky
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, feel the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
By Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
----------------------------------------------
i really like this song. it's simple, nice, sweet. it's the kind of song that you fall in love with, and the kind that gets stuck to your head the entire day.
yeah...that's not too good, especially when you can't remember the lyrics.
anyway, i saw goodfellas sing this over the weekend. i like how they did it, despite being an all-guy band. it wasn't too corny. it was just nice.
ANYWAY...i enjoyed the weekend la. =)

financial discipline
currently very conscious of my own finances.
did some checks on my bank accounts and credit balances. i increased my credit limit on the citibank dividend (which eventually i will regret having done that) but decided to leave the credit limit on the other card as it is.
and i found out the switch card which i signed up to "help" evelyn, is actually not too bad. i get taxi rebates, lower annual interest rates and cash withdrawal without any additional charges.
so anyway, back to my finances. my reimbursements for the melbourne trip finally came in. as much as i am so tempted to splurge due to the sudden surge in my bank account, i decided not to.
in fact, i shall go pay up as much of my credit card bills as possible. don't wanna end up in a debt cycle and get stuck in it.
in fact, i shall use my bonus to pay off as much of my credit card bills (and my mum's). let's just hope they won't be too conservative about bonus this year. i really worked my ass off.
i remember scoffing at people who don't have money but kept signing stuff off their credit cards. stupid things like limited edition sports shoes when they have tons that they barely wear. and then accumulating debt...a mountain of debts. i told myself i'll never end up like that.
never spend money that you don't have.
people tend to go crazy when they get credit cards. so i'm quite glad i only got my first credit card when i started earning regular, reasonable pay...aka...last year.
i'm not in serious debt, though i sound like i am. it's just that when you don't keep track of your bills. and you only pay lump sums every month because you can't remember how much you chalked, it accumulates. and before you know it, you can't remember what it was that led to this certain amount.
i'm within control. i kinda have a considerable bill coz of some stuff i bought on interest-free instalments. yes...i am very careful about such stuff.
oh, and i never believe in just paying the minimum sum. it's too pathetic. it hardly does anything to reduce your debt. it's a vicious, vicious ploy.
by the way, my financial resolution for the coming year (and i'm starting a little earlier...from this month onwards) is to save up to AT LEAST 3 months worth of my monthly expenses by the end of 2009 and not touch it.
i think this is what resolutions should be like. simple. do-able. realistic.
and from now until hongkong (9dec-12dec), i shall NOT spend money on items that are not necessities. i.e., no shoes, no clothes, no bags, no magazines and nonsense.
if i have to, i shall make use of all the vouchers i got for my birthday.
oh yes, i bought the sex and the city movie dvd already. used my borders gift card! =)
see...i'm disciplined.

xmas and fabulousness
i can't wait for xmas.
it's my favourite holiday, me reckon.
i love buying presents and wrapping them, and giving them...more than i like receiving them. though i must qualify that i do LOVE receiving presents.
the more the merrier i say.
anyway, i've been thinking of xmas a lot these days. starting to plan my xmas parties and stuff. next thing, i'll be drawing up my xmas list.
no no...not presents for myself. presents for people. i used to go ALL out getting presents for EVERYBODY, but i've cut back a bit. still, i spent a good sum last year buying presents for people. so that's what it feels like to actually use a substantial sum of your bonus buying stuff without a care.
it did hurt the pocket a little after i did my calculations.
still...i love it.
and if anyone is intending to be extravagent with me this year, i'm eyeing a turqoise balenciaga bag.
there! i said it!
haha...i'm swearing off fabulous bags for a while. i think i never did recovered from the miu miu splash. =X
no wait! that's cause i had to spend in melbourne (first).
anyway, never say never.
coz i'm going hongkong with my mum.
for the uninitiated...it was SHE who "guided" me to the miu miu.
i blame her for that. *wink*
p/s: thanks for all the birthday wishes and presents. once again, you all have done me proud by NOT getting a single birthday cake without me prompting!!! well done people!!! =) thankew~

Post no. 223
I didn't realise I have written 222 posts before this.
Hence, my very uncreative post title. haha
Anyway, i just wanted to say i can't wait to meet shir rabbit tomorrow. and steffie the week after. I CAN'T WAIT!!! so much to tell them...
anyway, i think the any months of mad workaholism has finally taken a toll on me. i'm feeling very lethargic ever since i returned from melbourne. i haven't had much inspiration to write (papers that is). i haven't had the drive to do anything other than clear shitloads of work.
it NEVER ends.
and i keep thinking of all the places i want to go to just nuuuuaaaaa...
then i happily click click click until the price comes up...and i realised, i am...not able to spend that much.
this year, no extra bonuses cause the economy isn't doing too well. damn. so can't go extravagent on gifts and holidays like i did last year.
and i REALLY went extravagent last year.
must.curb.my.urges.
i feel so guilty for buying 2 pairs of flats and a beach slipper over the weekends already. as if i don't have enough shoes. i should think of storage for shoes rather than the shoes. too many pairs, too little space. i need a carrie wardrobe...the one Mr Big made for her.
i need a Mr Big.
hahahaha. pfffft.
eh, paiseh. change of plans. i got really lazy and decided i'm not gonna have a birthday party this year. no point stressing out over where to go and what to do and who to invite. too much work for the birthday girl. i wanna relak one corner and that's it.
k la, i got lazy can?
i like leh!! i birthday girl! i can do whatever i want! like throwing a fit! =p
ok. =)

i'm back...and i wanna go off again
back from melbourne.
nice...
even though i didn't have much time to shop or anything, just being back there was great!
love the food. love the weather. love the late night sleep-ins. love my hotel rooooom!!! argh!
love love love it all!
i think i have found my favourite restaurant in melbourne. NOBU! if any guy ever flies me to melbourne just to have dinner at NOBU...i'll marry him! hahahaaa...
talk about extreme.
new york NOBU should do equally well. =)
anyway, just thought about birthday presents.
anything with a brand would be good. i'm feeling extravagent.
of coz not everyone can afford to do that, so just anything that i want but will not get will be good.
see, to get a good birthday present, you should get the birthday girl/boy something she/he wants BUT will not buy.
perfect?
or something she/he can't afford...hence brands...i'm talking about stuff from the latest fall collection, etc...hehe...yes...EXTRAVAGENT!!!
=p
maybe bali...-think-

grr...-ahem-
yeah.
i'm not in the best of mood.
can't really put a finger to what it is that is annoying me...or what is annoying me MORE.
it's not the time of the month, so you can't blame it on hormones, or whatever. puh.
i really don't know. i think i need a punching bag.
RAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!

i have nothing...much to blog about
it's one thing to say you have nothing to blog about.
it's quite another thing to say you have no life.
if you still don't get what i mean...in essence...
nothing to blog does not equate having no life.
ANYWAY...
as melbourne draws near...i'm STILL thinking of a place to vacay in. i'm starting to lose the urge for bangkok, not because of the political unrest there. in fact, i would go in a heartbeat just cause there won't be any tourist around. that would just mean good news (and more discounts) for me. BUT but but but but...i'm beginning to think that there is nothing left to shop there.
BUT THEN...i need to find cheap, good shopping. more office wear. more spicy office wear!
i need to spice up the office.
the other thing is...bintan REALLY got to me. so i wanna explore other r & r or spa kinda places (though i don't do spas..nor massages). budget is a little problem...just cause these places aren't exactly cheap. maybe bali then...hrmmm...
the other issue is company. i don't have company. how sia? i don't want to go alone leh.
shall plan for a trip to europe for next year. must save money to go. don't care! die die must go!
i can't wait for year-end bonus.
i wonder if there's gonna be a bonus in oct...?
p/s: need to find for birthday party location...how? where? HOW????
so many questions. so little answers.
oh! i just bought a nice diary/organiser for 2009. yeah...i'm very early. hehehe.
so random today. ok, bye~!

bye bye beckham
my dearest rabbit backham passed away this morning.
he was 7-ish years old...been with us since he was a little red nibblet that hadn't even opened his eyes. we fed him with syringes, turned him around so he'd look so damn cute when he sleep, let him eat bread, drink carrot juice, coffee and hollicks....
and he was toilet trained!
boy, will we miss him.
bye beckie...we'll miss you. you've been a great pet. have all the carrots and coffee and roti in rabbit heaven!

finally...slacking
heeheehee...
i think i haven't been doing much work today. this is RARE!
it's the post-off-day syndrome. i have absolutely no mood to do any work after taking the day off yesterday. should have just taken the day off today too. -wink-
had such a loooong day yesterday. oops.
meeting the old MC choir people later. chriz as usual is the mastermind. we're having dinner at the kopitiam at outram before hitting the karaoke machines like old times! it should be fun! singing with them is always fun...coz at least everyone CAN sing. hahaha...oops.
anyway, just digress a bit...it's interesting to learn little bits about people that others don't know about. sometimes, you just can't guess what people are like, how they live, etc...it's really really interesting!
gesundheit!
eh...i really need to think of a place to vacay. ideas??

I'm good. -Smile-
I suddenly feel really good.
Even though I'm still in the office at 7pm (trust me, this is early), I suddenly feel rather satisfied with myself.
I'm employed.
I've got a pretty nice job, enjoy what I am doing, got great colleagues whom I can really get along with, good bosses.
AND, I think I'm doing pretty well at work. As in, it's hectic crazy, but i've been lucky. How many people can go Australia twice when they are only 1 year plus into the job. Cool eh? All-expenses paid trip! woosh!
And I get to attend nice functions, go to events for free, get VIP seats, got to participate in NDP not once, but TWICE!!!
I've got a dog. A crazy, but loving dog. I've got scratch marks of love from him, but it's ok. haha...(i'll still want him to calm down a bit.)
I've got great friends. Some people I don't get to see in ages, but I know when we meet, we'll have just as much fun and we'll still go crazy! Some whom I get to meet more often because of the vices we engage in. Still good. still keeping me grounded.
Being doted on is also nice. Doesn't matter if it's guys or girls, for whichever or whatever reason. It's still nice. =)
I got to work over the weekends, but I'm not hating it.
I have close to 20 off-days to clear, and 23 days of leave.
I'm self-sufficient. In the last year, I bought an LV wallet, a Gucci handbag, a miu-miu bag, and I take cab to work everyday (and sometimes to everywhere else) and I don't sweat about it.
My mum doesn't bother me about settling down and getting married. -phew- she even fends these off. (the only thing is...i really can't afford to maintain a condo yet lah!)
I'm will go on a holiday. I can go on a holiday. Anywhere I want. Just haven't figured out where...and with whom yet. (any takers?)
I'm gonna sing for my friends' upcoming weddings, my sis' too. yay! more singing.
so yeah...i'm good.
and i want to share my joy with everyone!
sometimes, i wonder how everyone is doing...people from the past, people whom i haven't met in a long time, people whom i may never meet...i wonder if they have it as good as i do.
coz i GOT IT GOOOOOOD!
Even though I'm still in the office at 7pm (trust me, this is early), I suddenly feel rather satisfied with myself.
I'm employed.
I've got a pretty nice job, enjoy what I am doing, got great colleagues whom I can really get along with, good bosses.
AND, I think I'm doing pretty well at work. As in, it's hectic crazy, but i've been lucky. How many people can go Australia twice when they are only 1 year plus into the job. Cool eh? All-expenses paid trip! woosh!
And I get to attend nice functions, go to events for free, get VIP seats, got to participate in NDP not once, but TWICE!!!
I've got a dog. A crazy, but loving dog. I've got scratch marks of love from him, but it's ok. haha...(i'll still want him to calm down a bit.)
I've got great friends. Some people I don't get to see in ages, but I know when we meet, we'll have just as much fun and we'll still go crazy! Some whom I get to meet more often because of the vices we engage in. Still good. still keeping me grounded.
Being doted on is also nice. Doesn't matter if it's guys or girls, for whichever or whatever reason. It's still nice. =)
I got to work over the weekends, but I'm not hating it.
I have close to 20 off-days to clear, and 23 days of leave.
I'm self-sufficient. In the last year, I bought an LV wallet, a Gucci handbag, a miu-miu bag, and I take cab to work everyday (and sometimes to everywhere else) and I don't sweat about it.
My mum doesn't bother me about settling down and getting married. -phew- she even fends these off. (the only thing is...i really can't afford to maintain a condo yet lah!)
I'm will go on a holiday. I can go on a holiday. Anywhere I want. Just haven't figured out where...and with whom yet. (any takers?)
I'm gonna sing for my friends' upcoming weddings, my sis' too. yay! more singing.
so yeah...i'm good.
and i want to share my joy with everyone!

It's wet wet wet!
Hellooooo...
I decided to take a little break from all the work and dust off my blog a bit before I see cobwebs. As it is, I am seeing rust from the wet, humid tropical weather that is Singapore.
Yeah, it's wet. Super wet. It's so wet that visibility is low. I can hardly see much behind the curtain of rain. Man, is it pouring!
It's nice to be under the shelter of Coffee Bean while I type furiously away on my mini-note and attempt to look hardworking, when I'm actually typing my blog entry. So much for looking serious!
Oh, but I'm also waiting for Shirley to arrive. Meeting her finally after ages...AGES. Too bad Stef can't make it. I hope to catch her real soon. We haven't had a chance to talk for eons. I miss her. I miss both of them MUCH MUCH MUCH. (On the side note, I wish Shirley won't get too caught in the heavy rain. The poor bunny just got recovered from a bad cold. Ditto for stef.)
Grrreat...the drops of rain water is starting to splatter in. I'm not liking the rain much. =(
Well, besides never-ending work, I haven't had a chance to do much. Some functions here and there, some drinks here and there. What I'm looking forward to is Sept. Heading to bintan with KT, Yeok, TT and their partners. It's almost like the last "single" girls' trip. "Single" cause KT will be walking down the aisle come Oct 25, but then again, all of them are engaged (officially or unofficially).
So yes, it's good ol' single me left. I'm happy for all of them. Really. I admire that they have taken this huge step in their life. Me? I'm not quite ready yet. I think I've had my fair share of drama, and I'm beginning to settle down with myself. I'm enjoying the freedom singlehood gives me, amidst the attention I am allowed to get from the opposite sex. In a way, I'm not ready to be tied down yet, but kudos to those who are. I'm struggling with a dog already. I can't imagine anything further. hahaha...
Yes, so I'm gonna be the bridesmaid. Ever gonna be a bride? I'm not ruling it out, but neither am I counting on it to run my life. I don't want to become one of those people who wish to meet Mr Right. I'll take it as a bonus if Mr Right ever comes along. Until then, I'll have all my Misters and have fun with it.

Happy (Belated) Birthday Singapore!
Can't fault me for being late. I was busy preparing the "birthday party".
Anyway, it's been quite an experience. Burnt numerous weekends, firefighting with people, trying to stay alive and sane while running from place to place. It's a tough couple of months, but I'm glad it's all over...well, not ALL over.
Still have the "post-party clean-up". sigh.
But I'm glad to have been part of this whole set-up. It's not easy. So much effort, hardwork, sleepless nights, sweat and blood went into making it all happen. You really can't appreciate the amount of things until you've gone through. And then, you truly understand what it is that makes us do this.
LOVE and PRIDE.
love for your country. pride when you see that flag fly past as you sing the national anthem. that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you sing all the national day songs and recite the pledge. i still get that tingly feeling, even though we did this every week for a good 2 months! in fact, it just grows on you more and more each time.
am i patriotic? i would like to think i am.
i hope to be involved again next year. of course, it wouldn't be as part of the official set-up, but i'll be quite satisfied going down every saturday for 2 months to help out in any way i can. no need for day-offs and whatever. i just want to be part of it!
because, i am a proud Singapore citizen.
Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore!
May our Spirit shine!

when things change
i'll have my sundays freed up from now on, though that doesn't mean i'll be free every sunday.
things change.
things have changed.
it's beginning. work...is beginning to get slightly unbearable at times. sometimes, i really wish people would be more helpful, or not try to get away with stuff, and just be nicer.
not be some two-faced person. sometimes they are like the best of friends with you, and some other time they will shirk all responsibility or "become professional" all of a sudden.
i dunno about others, but i really try my best to accomodate everyone, or to make people's life easier, or to be helpful and work towards a single, same goal.
is it just me doing that???
of course i have nice, helpful colleagues.
but you know how 1 rotten apple spoils the basket.
apparently, there are a few rotten apples.
ARRRGHHHHH!!!!
the place feels disjointed at time. like there isn't camaraderie...even between people in the same department, same branch.
well, except for my branch la.
or maybe i'm just being biased. hehehehe
BUT!!! i'm still very angry lah!!! i'm angry at "giant" people. why so "giant"???
it's very streneous to have to plot and calculate and think of how to do things diplomatically.
I WANNA GO ON A LOOOOOONG BREAK!!!!
I HAVEN'T TAKEN A FARKING DAY OFF IN MONTHS!!!! MONTHS!!!!!!
THE LAST TIME I TOOK A DAY OFF WAS FOR MY SISTER'S ROM!?!?!!? it was wat? march???
FARKING TIRED LAH!!!
how come people get to take day offs, get to go home early and i don't.
and i have to deal with so much shit, and other people's shit, and chase people's backside, and have others make me feel like shit, as if i have nothing better to do, as if i haven't done ANYTHING.
appreciation is not over-rated.
appreciate me, please.

trying to focus in holland
it's a sat, but i don't have to work today.
or do i?
slept through the morning after a night of D & D (see previous post). my goal for today was to start on, and hopefully, complete a paper today.
let's see...it's 6.14pm already. i haven't written a thing. not good huh?
i've been distracted the whole day. first by TV (re-runs of Friends), and then i decided to come down to holland v so i can focus better. now i'm distracted by people, cute kids making funny noises, and someone's nokia phone that keeps beeping (you know, that nokia message tone).
and now, i'm hungry coz i smell food!
eeks!!! what's happening?!?!
i need to start something!!! i call this paper "the lord-of-the-rings paper", coz i'm the "one ring that binds them all". yeah right.
anyway, a bit more about yesterday. i hope i won't get a backlash for it. or any consequence for that matter. it was just a harmless invite. i think everybody ought to de-stress, and everybody ought to be given this chance to do so, regardless of who you are. there wasn't any motive or hint or message. it was just a chance to chill, away from the workplace.
so there, i said my peace.
i have a feeling i'm gonna be miss unpopular.
haiyah...fark it la. i should be used to being bitched about or whatever. me has clear conscience. me will continue being meself.
ok...i'm getting reeeeally hungry. =(
focus, nana, focus!!!

累到不行
i think whoever still bothers to read my blog is probably sick of me writing that i'm busy.
hell, even i am sick of saying it.
but i really dunno how else to describe this period of time.
it's bad. really bad. i feel soooo stretched...so stressed...so overworked.
i don't get enough rest. i work late everyday. i miss meals. i get worked up. i don't even have time to get a drink like i used to.
and i hate the phone and the computers/laptops.
how is it possible to be using 3 computers/laptops at a time?
or have all 3 phones ringing at the same time?
this is precisely the gigan-tuous amount of things i have to do. and as much as i wish someone could help me, there isn't really much anyone can do anymore (even though i have some ppl helping me).
i am soooo tired...sooo drained...and sooo....ARGH! and i can't blame anyone for it because...argh!!!
you know, i really...really can cry just thinking about it.
i don't even know what i am so upset about. except that i wish i could just not think, not do, not have ANYTHING for 1 day.
i don't even have time to buy body wash!!!!!!!!!! i eat instant noodles coz it's too late to buy food, or i'm too tired to shop for groceries nor cook...not even dabao home to eat. when i go meet friends for whatever, it has to be late, at least after 8pm...and i feel so tired and sleepy that i feel so bad that i can't even enjoy myself for that 1-2 hours. i haven't been able to do ANY of the things that i like to do...not even once so often. no drinking, no chilling out, no partying, no karaoke-ing, no singing, no life!
but you know what sucks the most?
i don't hate my job.
i'm just really really really tired today.
exhausted and frustrated that today, this week...has been worse than last few weeks combined...and tomorrow, next week, could be even worse...
and i can't comfort myself.
-struggling-

Happy Birthday Music Story, Shirley and Laoshi!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSIC STORY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAOSHI!!!
oh...and happy farthers' day to all daddies!! hehehe...
okie dokes, with the wishes out of the way, what i really wanna talk about was yesterday's anniversary/singout finals.
it's been a long journey, and in a way, i felt glad to be a little part of the journey (despite all the pek-chek-ness, near peng experience, etc...).
what i was really happy about was the progress of all the contestants. the show rocked last night! i wouldn't have believed it was real if i didn't see it for myself. really, really great job!
and of course all those who worked hard to make the event happen. it wasn't easy. it was never gonna be easy, but you guys pulled it off. i wished i had that extent of effort and help and manpower when i did the anniversary at the same place 2 years ago. haha...maybe it wouldn't have been so cocked up. good job guys and girls!
ok...1 event down...time to plan for the next event?
haha...just kidding (or maybe not?)...
for me, i still have many many things to do. going to melbourne on wed to fri on work trip, haven't packed yet. going on weekend getaway to bintan...also haven't packed. cham!
back to work!

the buzz...never left
you know something is wrong when i get oh so quiet in such a long time.
actually, nothing is wrong.
i'm JUST still busy. have been busy. will be busy...for a while.
BUT, it's good busy i suppose. I mean, i'm doing all the BIG budget stuff what. can't be that bad right?
WRONG...fire-fighting has never been so tough. i don't mind big fires. what really gets on my nerves are the littlest bush fires that never go away.
GO AWAY!!!
well at least my boss..both my bosses...have been insistent that i go for that working trip next week. all the way to melbourne. ahhh~~~ my first trip to australia! and my first working trip! wooh! that must be the only icing on the cake, because going means i'm staddling 2 major events/project around the same time frame.
i can see my weeknights fading away...and my weekends sliding away too...and...and...
i told my boss i'm taking 1 month off after october.
he told me as long as i came back after 1 month...hahaha...
i suspect i'll be too broke after 2 weeks to not go to work anyway.
is it too early to plan for 2 year-end holidays?

here for you
to my dear dear friend...
we love you.
we are here for you.
always will be.
---------------------------------------------
it hurts for a long time. and it takes a longer time to heal, if you ever heal. each day, each hour, each minute, each second...seems so much longer than it actually is. just got to take it a step at a time...one at a time.
it's hard. it's so hard.
i wish i could do more.
and to see her hurt so much...
just wish i could do more.
we love you.
we are here for you.
always will be.

playing with fire
there are things which you know you shouldn't do, but you'll do it anyway.
then, there are things you know you should probably do, but you don't wanna do...for now.
well, isn't life just interesting? filled with dilemmas and decisions. moral, ethics and the whole works. opportunities, choices and regrets.
yeah....so interesting.
WOO! rooney just scored!!!
"rooney! rooney! rooney! rooney!"
sorry, got distracted by the match and my stupid dog barking.
shaddup louis!
anyway, yeah...the sms table-tennis yesterday was somewhat unexpected. not sure if it should have happened or not. anyway, it's done. i'm not a very nostalgic person anyway. not gonna look back and give the "should've-shouldn't have" crap. take a thing at a time.
by the way, i'm really sorry if this makes no sense. it's not meant to lah, for the larger audience. just let me reassure you that there is no serious problems i'm facing. hahaha...it's just those moral conscience thing. i can't put a finger to it.
need to take a long hard look at everything and decide properly what is the best thing to do. work is not getting any lighter. obligations and responsibilties are getting heavier. may need to take one step back and drop some stuff to focus more on myself. although i'm not a forward-thinker, it doesn't hurt to think through it a bit.
hmm...
go check my bank balance.
hahahaaa....
then, there are things you know you should probably do, but you don't wanna do...for now.
well, isn't life just interesting? filled with dilemmas and decisions. moral, ethics and the whole works. opportunities, choices and regrets.
yeah....so interesting.
WOO! rooney just scored!!!
"rooney! rooney! rooney! rooney!"
sorry, got distracted by the match and my stupid dog barking.
shaddup louis!

poignant statements
"oh...not another one of them...argh..."
"always make your boss look good." - if i may add, doesn't hurt to make your boss feel good too.
"nothing a drink can't help."
"materialistic people are easy to motivate."
"anything can happen! how would we know that liverpool will score an own goal right before the end?"
"which bag shall i get?"
"lim jiu mai?"
"bonus."
"money is always good; more money would be better."
"you're quite overloaded huh? don't worry...i know."
"drink tonight?"
"i've got no time to be sick!"
"if you wanna buy a bag, you might as well spend a bit more and buy a really good one!" - ok!
"i need a getaway."

i'm staying home today. even if it's a saturday. and i'm gonna be happy doing that.
i think there are 2 main thrusts to why i'm not going out on a sat (night or not).
1. my mum isn't too happy about me staying late out everyday. it's the dog...he's becoming quite a terror at home. i suppose i need to be more responsible about it. crap.
2. had an early start to the weekend. took fri off...but i went out and organised a chill-out session last night for my colleagues. it was alright...but ah...hopefully the next time i organise another one, it would be...better.
a couple of things made me rather delighted...so i'm quite satisfied taking the saturday off to recover and internalize everything.
i wanna go shopping leh.
haha...
wanna buy cosmetics and clothes...and more shoes. heeheehee...
want to go holiday too. i'm trying to figure if i should go japan AND bangkok all at once in oct/nov or separate the trips. that will be determined by my schedule. i'm still wondering how it will pan out. as off now...it seems like i have a 1-week window in mid oct, before kt and jw's wedding (where i have to sing and be jie-mei) and i still have that birthday party that i wanna do.
location, location, location.
where should i have my party? i want it to be exclusive! maybe a hotel suite...but must find not too expensive one. can hold up to...30 pax? hahaha...maybe more?? dun even know if i have so many friends in the first place.
i think i wun do the "back to school" theme...but i need to THINK what my theme is gonna be! maybe "go green"??? that's my fav colour anyway. i dunno..must think. and oh yes...invite list, booze, food, games, music, and if i'm feeling generous, maybe a goodie or two...biangz.
sponsors anyone? hahaha...i can offer a spot on my blog for a month...2 months...10?
right. let's see who will take THAT up.
ok. i need to go causeway point to shop/do grocery shopping and be a guai guai nu. he he he...

i need a 李圣杰
擦肩而过
我爱着谁 爱到我有点醉
告诉我你是谁
能够把我让我变不对
你不会累 但我却爱你爱到好累
从没有为了谁
不顾安慰付出一切
站在这平衡点 我还是觉得有点危险
或许是看不见 只能够靠感觉
他不会是个好男人
也不会是个好情人
你对我说我们只是擦肩而过
好的男人有那么多
少了他的日子也能过
我不会再让你寂寞
也不会让你更难过
你听我说要好好学着去生活
就算未来有多少错
至少还有我的问候
我的温柔陪你度过
你听我说 你不要这么做
你不要看着我
说你已经知道怎么做
你很难受 我愿意陪你一起承受
只要你不怕痛 再多坎坷我都陪你走
就算未来有多少错
至少还有我的问候我的温柔陪你度过
Congrats to Derrick for, once again, creating a hit that we can all emo to!

let me go on.
actually, i don't feel like elaborating more about the earlier post.
ok loh. then i won't.
but i'm not so boliao to just say that as a follow-up to the last post. so i'll just say...
it was a rough day today.
i think today is just one of those days.
i wish i wasn't alone. and by alone, i dun mean alone at home (coz i'm not alone at home).
it's not the solitude. it's the emptiness solitude brings.
you can be surrounded by a million people and still feel alone. loneliness is not a state of being, it's a state of mind, or i prefer to say it as a state of heart. irrationality takes over. all you wanna do is be with somebody and not give a care in this world.
the pain of something happening is sometimes lesser than the pain of nothing happening.
i'm so caught up in my own emotions because i don't let anyone in.
i don't think anyone knows the true story. in fact, i doubt i know it. is it the mystic of not knowing? or just escapism from knowing? i dun really know what drives this thought process that haunts me.
which makes drowning the sorrows a slightly calculated move. it doesn't mean literally drinking your sorrows away. it just numbs your head and your heart, and remove the walls...the dams...the fort that is protecting yourself. or not.
doesn't matter.
the truth of the matter is, i hang on too much. i hang on to certain little actions, certain little tugs at the heartstrings, certain little words. i don't wanna over-react, but at the same time, i can't help myself from reacting...or acting. and i don't wanna play this entire game of second guessing, either myself or others, again. it's too tiring.
i...don't...know...if anyone can comprehend this.
like i said, it's one of those days.
nana wants to go out and play...party like a rock star...trashed to bits.

squeeeezed
i really have no time.
so if i take forever to reply an sms, it's because i haven't had the chance to read it or no time to reply it.
and if i sound funny and impatient and fierce on the fone, chances are, i'm working or i'm with my boss...still working...even at 9...10...11pm.
and if i can't come out...it's probably cause i am STILL working...or i've had a loooong, rough day...so i really can't meet...or i have no strength to.
actually, it's not all bad.
i feel very focused now. like i know what needs to be done, even though half the time i'm still finding my way. but yah...i do feel more settled.
but it's really really stressful. i'm not getting enough sleep. adrenaline is all that's keeping me up. much like wat da big boss says,"since you're in the cheonging mood already...". yah...i am.
i even stopped drinking for close to 2 weeks. haha...but i think i'll need one REAL soon. maybe tonight? after i finish doing some work.
i just squeezed two minutes of my time to type this. and it's back to work.
anyway, if u see me at holland V, i'm probably working or JUST finished working on something.
i like to do my work at holland v. it's quiet. the people are generally nice(r). there's always space. i can stay here to work till late. and the coffee bean staff knows me. haha...yes, i've been here too often.
ok la. back to work!

Let's just pretend
Let's just pretend for a moment that nobody reads this.
Maybe there isn't a need to pretend coz nobody does anyway.
BUT, just for the sake of argument, let's...just pretend.
i'm hungry...i had only 1 ham and cheese sandwich all day and a coffee, and a couple pieces of potato chips.
my heel broke. 1 heel broke. the other heel is indestructible. so i look like i'm limping.
i don't wanna do copious amounts of papers. but they are gonna make me do copious amounts of papers. whyyyyy????????????
i don't like papers. now i have to specialize in writing papers. damn.
blardy neverending story.
it's not the writing that is half as annoying. it's the endless number of people and levels you have to clear before you finally get it cleared. and by the time that happens, you are probably late, screwed, or working on an extension of that paper.
this is why it never ends.
and the laptop shall be my new best friend.
i somehow feel as if my energy is completely sapped out of me.
i wanna go on a break. get away from papers. just lie in bed all day, read a couple of magazines, or a good book.
i don't even have time to go shopping!
and all my shoes are wearing out.
boooo....
i got no time for breakies or lunchies or dinnies anymore.
everyday eat junk food or instant noodles or the like.
so pathetic.
oh, and drink coffee...iced lattes upon iced lattes. even the coffee bean staff knows me by name already.
boohoohoo~~~ waaaah~~~~!!!
my life is OVER!!! OVER!!!!!!!!

Blind, high and dry.
really, really like the song "blind" by lifehouse.
rather poignant.
the song has been playing on repeat mode, and i haven't got sick of it.
the other one is high and dry by radiohead.
funny, coz these two songs are quite different. and they may or may not have bearings on my thoughts or emotions, be it in the past, current or in the future. hehehe...
Blind
I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as you turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
After all this timeI
never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like is was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this timeI never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
After all this time
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
And I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me dies when I let you go
High & Dry
Two jumps in a week i bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy
Flying on your motorcycle watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror your turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation you will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces you just sit there wishing you could still make love
There the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out
There the ones who'll spit at you, you will be the on screaming out
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Oh it's the best thing that you've ever had the best thing that you've ever,ever had
Its the best thing that you've ever had the best thing that you've ever had has gone away
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
ANYWAY, i remember blogging singing tips for some songs a while back. was considering if i should do something like that again. suddenly, i've been asked a lot of questions that i take FOREVER to answer. maybe i should write a book. hahahaaaa....or set up another blog just for that. avoid diluting the provoked thoughts expressed in my blog.

the many pains of life.
i've got no inspiration to write, nor have i been inspired to write about anything.
my life is turning into a major routine. this, despite my thursday hip-hop classes with chris that i just started last week. oh yes, and frequent saturday judgings for singout'08. and maybe the odd drinking session(s).
which reminds me..it's been awhile since i play mj!!! wah...i'm so sorry la...sunday's timing was super duper bad. maybe we should revert to the friday night plan. i have nothing much on saturdays anyway. =/
i was just wondering the other day. what if i just quit my job and plunge into singing full-time? haha...it's just a random and very rash thought la. i don't hate my job. it's just those "what-ifs". what if i didn't get swayed into not doing ALL the things i wanted to do? maybe i wouldn't be where i am now, which isn't necessarily a bad place/thing. i'm just wondering. if i pursued a bit harder. if i was more insistent. if i didn't allow some idiot to mess with my head. maybe i would be very different now.
was also thinking about not going out this week. stay at home. only go out if i have to. no drinks. no hanging out and chilling and getting all irritated by whatever may irritate me.
maybe do some healthy stuff for a change. go jog a bit more than last friday's feeble attempt. do some sit-ups and crunches to reach my goal of a toned tummy. i'm developing a mini beer belly. not very nice. eek!
oh, but it sounds like such a pain..................-whines-

waiting...waiting for the world to change
i wake up everyday and switch channel news asia on first thing in the morning. and if i don't get to watch it, i'll check channelnewsasia.com.
i can't wait to see the headlines. to see if MSK has been caught. or dead. or spotted. or SOMETHING besides "the hunt is still on".
yeah, this a****** has caused much pain and misery...especially to my weekend plans. I'm not directly affected, but it's bad enough.
i wonder if his eye twitches or he'll sneeze till his nose fall off, coz i betcha a zillion ppl are cursing at him.
maybe instead of keeping your eye out for someone limping, we should look for someone whose eyes are twitching or who is sneezing perpetually and whose nose is falling off.
bygones.
i've been trying to cut down on the drinking. actually, i'm not too sure if i'm subconsciously or consciously doing it. i was super duper lethargic on fri and sat night. fri was just weird coz we went wala's early and had a nice seat but the band was...not quite right for the ambience there. it wasn't a bad band...it was rather nice, classic. just not right for the mood. after 2 beers, we went coffee bean and had tea...and then went home coz i got tired. that was maybe, before 1am? early on all accounts.
sat...i had a bit of a headache but i couldn't abandon kai, so i went along. went clarke quay...MAD crowd. left. went timbre. MAD queue...but damn good band. dammit. suay. walked to barstop. i was whining all the way but kai tried to distract me by talking about ghosts/vampires and nightmares...and kept on telling me it's just "there". biangz.
good thing was that barstop was empty...but my headache got worse la. (p/s: i like their wine cooler, very very light). we left after melvin and kai finished the bucket of tuborg. i had ONE drink. only ONE drink. and we left...around 1am. again, early on all accounts.
and yesterday night, i had ONE hoegaarden at home. just ONE. partly coz my regular sunday night date was not available.
so yes, i don't know if i'm consciously not drinking too much or i just didn't feel like it.
we'll see how this week goes. then i'll make a more accurate assessment of my drinking status.
but i'm NOT an alcoholic.
something is wrong with the air-con in my office. off...on...off...on...MAKE UP YOUR BLARDY MIND LA!!!!
eh, i'm really sorry if i'm completely random recently. you must believe that i DO think about what i want to write, most of the time. it's just that i currently don't see the point of transiting from one idea to the next too beautifully or seamlessly. too tedious. my mind is getting lazy. i can't even be bothered to use big words and flowery language. to the point.
current fav song of the moment:
so fathers be good to your daughters
daughters will love like you do
and girls become lovers, who turn into mothers
so mothers be good to your daughters too
and since we are doing john mayer...
i'm waiting...(waiting)...waiting for the world to change~
i can't wait to see the headlines. to see if MSK has been caught. or dead. or spotted. or SOMETHING besides "the hunt is still on".
yeah, this a****** has caused much pain and misery...especially to my weekend plans. I'm not directly affected, but it's bad enough.
i wonder if his eye twitches or he'll sneeze till his nose fall off, coz i betcha a zillion ppl are cursing at him.
maybe instead of keeping your eye out for someone limping, we should look for someone whose eyes are twitching or who is sneezing perpetually and whose nose is falling off.
bygones.
i've been trying to cut down on the drinking. actually, i'm not too sure if i'm subconsciously or consciously doing it. i was super duper lethargic on fri and sat night. fri was just weird coz we went wala's early and had a nice seat but the band was...not quite right for the ambience there. it wasn't a bad band...it was rather nice, classic. just not right for the mood. after 2 beers, we went coffee bean and had tea...and then went home coz i got tired. that was maybe, before 1am? early on all accounts.
sat...i had a bit of a headache but i couldn't abandon kai, so i went along. went clarke quay...MAD crowd. left. went timbre. MAD queue...but damn good band. dammit. suay. walked to barstop. i was whining all the way but kai tried to distract me by talking about ghosts/vampires and nightmares...and kept on telling me it's just "there". biangz.
good thing was that barstop was empty...but my headache got worse la. (p/s: i like their wine cooler, very very light). we left after melvin and kai finished the bucket of tuborg. i had ONE drink. only ONE drink. and we left...around 1am. again, early on all accounts.
and yesterday night, i had ONE hoegaarden at home. just ONE. partly coz my regular sunday night date was not available.
so yes, i don't know if i'm consciously not drinking too much or i just didn't feel like it.
we'll see how this week goes. then i'll make a more accurate assessment of my drinking status.
but i'm NOT an alcoholic.
something is wrong with the air-con in my office. off...on...off...on...MAKE UP YOUR BLARDY MIND LA!!!!

itchy
i wake up every morning wishing i slept earlier the night before. so i won't feel tired, and i don't have to take a cab to work (most of the time).
and i end up sleeping late every single night.
well, at least now i don't count how many hours i sleep. i just sleep when i feel like, and wake up...usually late.
i used to count the number of hours of sleep i'll get the next day. and if it's less than 8 hrs, i used to feel tired the entire day.
guess this explains why i sleep on my way to work everyday, bus or cab, rain or shine.
and i always get sooooo tired after work, so i end up napping on my way home (or wherever i'm going).
i was using 3 screens simultaneously at work today. 2 desktop and 1 laptop. ha ha ha...how do i do it? i don't know man.
happy thoughts...may get to make my first overseas business trip this year. *cross fingers*
do you type your post, then give it a title? or do you think of a title, before you type the post?
like chicken-and-egg decision.
for me, it depends. i tend to have a theme for all my blog posts, and i deliberate the entire day before i finally type it out. ok, maybe not entire day, but enough to consolidate my thoughts and consider how best for me to make a point through a seamless transition. most of the actual words come as i type though.
yah...i put quite some thought in my posts.
even in this super random one.
anyway, back to the question. this entry...the title came after.
so as of now...as i'm typing, i still dunno wat title to give it.
maybe i'll just title it "itchy".
does the word "itchy" make you feel like scratching yourself?
or have u scratched already?
haha...

10 things - thanks to joyce!
BAH!~!
i don't even know why i'm so easily swayed into this. i could just ignore, ya know?
but we all are exhibitionists deep inside.
so here it goes.
------------------------------------------------------------
Rules of the game: Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little unknown facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little unknown facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged & list their names. No tag backs..
1. i like to fiddle with my hair. it's all about my hair. i will "feel" for damaged hair and attempt to pull it out. if i can't get it out, it will be my mission in life until it's out. and yes...i get some satisfaction from that. i'm obsessed with my hair.
2. i don't go for pedicures. because i feel ashamed of my toenails. plus...i find it gross to touch someone else's feet, so i don't like to have someone touch mine. i feel bad la.
3. i take a dump really fast. REAL fast. it's like go in, dump, wash, get out. (i know this is really unnecessary.)
4. i love my tom yam instant mee from thailand. i always buy 2 boxes back when i'm there...yah...BOXES as in CARTON BOXES. plus, i can eat them everyday, but i scared my hair drop. so i limit to AT LEAST once a week.
5. i HATE to talk on the phone. HATE IT! i just feel very micro-waved after talking on the phone, especially mobile phone. and very gao-weh to talk over the phone. gimme face-to-face any day!
6. i ALWAYS plan my overseas holidays. meaning i always have a list of things to bring...and it will start at least a month before i go. but i don't pack until about a week before, or a day before. haha...coz i'm a bum.
7. i'm very bad with names. i don't remember names easily. i can rem faces better, but it's also pretty bad. i don't know why. i can rem all sorts of crap but i can't rem names and faces.
8. actually. really. anti-social. if and when i'm friendly, i'm actually making a very conscious and concerted effort to do so. i'm actually NOT very sociable coz i'm somewhat of a bitch. well, unless i've been drinking, then i'm EXCEPTIONALLY cordial and friendly and sociable.
9. if i had my own walk-in wardrobe, it'll be quite scary. it's not so much the clothes. it's more the shoes, accessories and the bags. and i make a point to match something everyday. if it's not the clothes and the shoes, then it's the accessories and the bag, or the bag and the shoes. my collection...is somewhat scary.
10. finally...the last one! *phew* ok...i'll be honest. i'm slightly atas and high-maintenance. let's not go into the details la...but it's definitely more than being brand-conscious (i'm not THAT into brands). it's just...i like nice ambience, nice restaurants, nice stuff...and i may come off a bit snotty at times. still, generally kind. i mean, i like animals! that's a sign of being nice right???
ok...i'll be nice and not tag anyone.
=)
see! nice!

Dusting Off
yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!!
i'm finally back. i know i know. and i apologize so profusely for being slightly non-existent; only the odd appearance and tag here and there.
work last week. i think i haven't worked so hard in my time here. i did OT everyday, even doing silly things like coming back to office at 6.30pm (knock off supposed to be 5.30pm). and on friday, my branch and i were at work till 11.30pm.
i half enjoy being a busy bee because it makes me feel important. i know how lame and absolutely childish this sounds, but it's true. it's as if the whole world suddenly revolves around you. but i really hated the few nights alone, especially when i had to get out of the office after the sun has gone to bed, and i have crickets and spiders for company on the road down. it makes me feel slightly pathetic. really wished some kind stranger or knight in shiny armour would rescue me from the torturous road down.
but nah...nothing like that happened.
dammit.
oh well, at least i'm glad to report that the final product went quite well. as usual, shit happens, but i think i have quite a high threshold for shit already. so it doesn't feel as shitty anymore. no feeling of failure because i think we did the best we could. at least i know i did.
so i had a kind of celebratory drink on sun.
and tues.
and yesterday was my sis's ROM! yah la...the noisy one is finally mrs ong. good luck to the ong family! i doubt i'll hear less of her anyway. she has her way of making her presence felt. ok...i shall be nicer and try to not do "selective hearing" with her.
congrats mr and mrs ong!
eee...damn funny to say that. MEI MEI AND MEI FU!!! eeeeeeeeeeee.....
anyway, they treated the families (both sides) to dinner at ritz carlton's greenhouse. i like the food there, especially the seafood. we had wine. i ordered bubbly. we drank. i drank more. it was good clean fun for a change. and super weird to see my mum down just 1 small flute of bubbly and exclaim that she is drunk. i'm like...huh?
anyway, another revelation at the dinner table. my lil sis thinks she's a potential alchie. i couldn't agree more.
join the club!!!
so that's sun...tues...wed...and it's THURS already!!!
gonna have some drinks with my colleagues later. we all need to de-stress. hahahaaaa....
meeting stef and shir at wala's tmr. wooooh!! finally, we'll get to hear stef's latest update about her incredibly wonderful love-life! it's about time. she deserves it. and hopefully good stuff from shir...by good, i don't mean THAT kinda stuff, ok shir rabbit??? dat's for you to know and for you to know only. hahahaaaaa...
i have friends who like to give me tooooo much info about their lives. =X
sat seems like a busy and free day all at once. i think i have some plans...but i don't rem what. well, we'll see who catches me first then. i'm up for grabs! faster!!!
sunday, meeting tt, kt, ja and yeok to celebrate yeok's bday! wooo!
sounds like i've got quite a week huh?
yah...i guess so.
well...

NEVER!
yesterday...sunday...10 Feb 08.
The one sunday that i was free from you-know-what.
i woke up at 6.30am (by the whining of louis)...to find an sms. Read it. Muttered "fuck it". Tried to go back to sleep until 7am (the time i set my alarm to).
Tossed...turned...thought...argh...woke up 15mins later.
So what, that i didn't have enough sleep. So what, that my free sunday is technically, not free anymore. So what? I told myself I would enjoy SENTOSA! Not let people ruin it. Not let my efforts, time (free or not), and sleep go to waste.
To be honest...i DID have fun in sentosa. I guess is a way, i glad we cancelled the 2nd part coz it would have been rather disastrous to go on a holiday-sunday with the crowd gathering to see (of all things) flowers. the company, no doubt small, was good company. everybody there was in high spirits and we entertained ourselves very well, despite the small turnout.
thanks joyce, shun, wayne, cordelia, mireen, jasper, yihong, zm, daph, vivian, ah dao and evelyn (even though u came at blardy 12!!!) for making this day, not as bad and seriously fun! (i have videos to prove...wahahahaaa...koong lrooong~)
ok. now the disappointing part.
i got quite disappointed by the turnout.
MORE disappointed at the lack of support, especially the people who "suddenly" couldn't come. (besides adeline...i understand, and at least she had the decency to tell me the day before, not less than 6 hrs before, or even on the day itself. might as well don't tell.)
i think what really got to me was...that the team is made up of people who VOLUNTEERED their time and puts in effort to try and let everyone have some fun. all of us just want to enjoy ourselves. so what that we aren't paid? EVEN SO, we just asked for 2 things.
1. responsibility.
2. commitment.
i seriously question if some of these people who had volunteered to help organise this have any of the two. how can we expect them to "lead" the rest? how can we believe that you really want to help, to give back, and to make the place a better place to be in, blah blah blah?
anyway, i've given my two cents' worth. i think we should deal and get past this.
On a separate note....NEVER!!!
next issue.
i think, i have tried too hard to make things work or to try and make people see some clarity in what they do.
i don't think i can get into their numbskulls.
so i don't want to try anymore.
i don't want to ask, and i don't want to be bothered by it.
they can act dumb, be stupid or totally irrational, selfish or self-centred for all i care.
they can lie, cheat, murder, slaughter, kidnap, eat their own brains (or others') for all i care.
I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
is it just me or do people become stupid once they hit a certain age? it seems that way to me.
i hope i still have the clarity of mind to do the right thing and uphold my moral values when i hit that age in 3 years' time.
no, seriously.
don't talk to me.
just...save it.
Note to self: Out with the negativity. In with the positivity. Think: karma.energy.life.

nothing comes from nothing
It's 除夕, so I'll wish everyone a Happy Lunar New Year first!! 恭喜恭喜!!
I just returned from spending an entire day (yesterday) at the wonderful island east of Singapore that normal civilians would rarely go. my office had organised something "interesting" for us civilian officers to experience army life. very miniscule part of army life, but a worthwhile and fun experience nevertheless. i had a ton of fun! thanks guys!
thank god we were allowed to go home. i had prepared myself to spend the night there anyway, but i still prefer my wonderful bed. hehehe...
anyway...
i have a few urges.
maybe wanna get away from my comfort zone.
maybe do something totally different.
maybe go far away with no friends/relatives to depend on.
maybe tell people what i really think of them.
maybe fuck people upside down without a care if i'll never see/hear them again.
i guess i've been controlling myself a lot. to keep my distance from things, people...so that it still rather civil...or rather ok.
but nothing comes from nothing. 无风不起浪.
and this is not just about me. i think you cannot fault others for prejudices, "misunderstandings" or judgments sometimes...because if there was nothing, then there would be none of it.
tension.
magnetism.
lingering thoughts.
connection.
la la la la la~~~
(i'm randomly writing...about 3-4 things all at the same time...so quite incoherent. haha)

The Vicious Cycle...Spiralling Downwards
i promised evelyn that i'll try to write something more...meaningful. more inspired. so i'll try.
(recently too busy to write, even when i had the inspiration to do so.)
i wrote this entry some time last year..."Of Differences and Frivolousness". i just want to revisit this topic again, because i've seen toooo many things happening these days.
i think there are a few things that i can never get used to.
1. false hope
i think it's just terrible to give others false hope. lift people's expectations or lead them into something that you (or them) are not prepared to go into. it's just as bad to give yourself false hope. you have this nagging feeling in you, your sixth sense perhaps, that tells you something is wrong. but you won't hear anything of it. you shrug it off, and give yourself hope that it won't be like that...false hope.
2. half-truths
i feel horrible enough when i tell half-truths. so i don't understand how people can lead their lives in half-truths. they don't lie. they just don't tell you the whole truth. afraid of hurting others, they say. but they don't know each half-truths they say is just digging the dagger into your heart a bit more...and a bit more. eventually, when too many half-truths pile up...it was just ONE BIG GIANT LIE. you just didn't see it coming...or did you?
3. excuses
why do people keep sinking into their problems...and each time it just gets deeper and deeper? cause you give excuses. excuses for yourself...and excuses for others. there is always a good reason why he/she said this, did that. yah right...sure. we will see how many excuses you can give/accept before you wake up from this foolishness.
4. indecisiveness
and then, there is this perpetual problem, especially with guys. sometimes they simply CANNOT decide what they want. or do they want everything? maybe they DON'T WANT to decide, because making a decision means they have to be responsible for it. sometimes i think maybe some people just don't have moral values. don't you think it's rather selfish to be so indecisive? how many people do you want to hurt; how many relationships do you want to sever, before you realised that if you keep doing that, all you are gonna be is end up as a miserable, lonely, old person with nobody who really loves you for who you are. i don't know if you would even love yourself.
5. cowardice.
oh...and at the end of the day...this is the crux of it, isn't it? you've been a coward. that's why you make excuses for your lack of values. that's why you tell half-truths. that's why you selfishly give people false hope. that's why you are so indecisive. because you don't dare to take responsibility. you aren't even honest with yourself, much less others. you don't even dare face up to your mistakes. the worst kind of cowardice is when one makes a mistake, and makes the same mistakes again, and again, and again. it's just as bad if you see people make the mistake, and you still do the same shit. actually, it's not just that then. it's being stubborn, and incredibly stupid.
maybe it's hard to break away from something/someone that one is familiar with. i understand that. i just don't see how morals and values, and direction in life can change so drastically. and it's not as if you are completely blind to it. there is selective hearing. i suppose then, there's such a thing as selective thinking too. you just don't want to think about it.
---------------------------------------------------------
i apologize if i haven't been exactly courteous, but i don't believe in mincing my words. i need to drum this in to those who are disillusioned, and more so into those who still think it's ok to do all of the above.
it's not cool.
and fuck...if it means i have to tell it to you in the face and risk severing all ties/friendship/relationship with you, then hell, i'll do it.
it's not being overzealous, or presumptuous.
i just...don't want to be around people who spirals downwards, get sucked into a vicious cycle...and then bring others down with them.
i don't care if you know it or not (you probably do).
i'm just not prepared to be part of this cycle...again.
(recently too busy to write, even when i had the inspiration to do so.)
i wrote this entry some time last year..."Of Differences and Frivolousness". i just want to revisit this topic again, because i've seen toooo many things happening these days.
i think there are a few things that i can never get used to.
1. false hope
i think it's just terrible to give others false hope. lift people's expectations or lead them into something that you (or them) are not prepared to go into. it's just as bad to give yourself false hope. you have this nagging feeling in you, your sixth sense perhaps, that tells you something is wrong. but you won't hear anything of it. you shrug it off, and give yourself hope that it won't be like that...false hope.
2. half-truths
i feel horrible enough when i tell half-truths. so i don't understand how people can lead their lives in half-truths. they don't lie. they just don't tell you the whole truth. afraid of hurting others, they say. but they don't know each half-truths they say is just digging the dagger into your heart a bit more...and a bit more. eventually, when too many half-truths pile up...it was just ONE BIG GIANT LIE. you just didn't see it coming...or did you?
3. excuses
why do people keep sinking into their problems...and each time it just gets deeper and deeper? cause you give excuses. excuses for yourself...and excuses for others. there is always a good reason why he/she said this, did that. yah right...sure. we will see how many excuses you can give/accept before you wake up from this foolishness.
4. indecisiveness
and then, there is this perpetual problem, especially with guys. sometimes they simply CANNOT decide what they want. or do they want everything? maybe they DON'T WANT to decide, because making a decision means they have to be responsible for it. sometimes i think maybe some people just don't have moral values. don't you think it's rather selfish to be so indecisive? how many people do you want to hurt; how many relationships do you want to sever, before you realised that if you keep doing that, all you are gonna be is end up as a miserable, lonely, old person with nobody who really loves you for who you are. i don't know if you would even love yourself.

sucky week, rainy saturday
this has been QUITE a week. very, very, very busy. i suddenly feel very accomplished even though it's been a hellish week at work. run here, run there, go to meetings, come back, rush papers, re-do papers, check and reply emails, more emails, more emails.
i think yesterday was the epitome of it all. before i came to work, i already had 5 things on my urgent to-do-list. on my way to work, kena another task. i had meetings at 11am and 1.30pm. So essentially, I had 3 hours to complete all of them. I can proudly say, "i did it!". ok...got 1 still needs some work, but it's ok...i may do it over the weekend or early monday morning (like 7am??? haha).
anyway, i came back to office from mtg at 5pm, had to meet da big boss. for a paper. not done by me. i'm amazed at how i can go to a mtg with absolutely no or minimal knowledge and come out doing a paper. anyway, dat's what i did. i finished deconstructing and reconstructing it in like...an hour? once again, i feel so accomplished...but i left office at nearly 8pm...and the entire friday, i only had ONE CURRY PUFF.
now u know why i'm so skinny.
nah...it's ok.
i'm undaunted.
in fact, these couple of weeks have been challenging, tiring, but i REALLY gained a lot of confidence and learnt A LOT more stuff. never knew i could juggle like that.
but i think i'm losing my sense of humour in the process.
monday is also gonna be pretty bad. i hope i survive monday...and tuesday too. haha...tuesday, oh tuesday...mozzies galore!
it's raining. louis couldn't go out for doggy walk. milo too. poor things. but i gave louis a bath anyway, coz he's a stinky-poo! hehehee...
sigh...stoned.

苏打绿 这天
够深刻了吗 来躺下吧
让我轻抚你安慰
伤害我后的疲累
够尖锐了吗 看我的疤
用温柔包覆勇敢
给喘息的你笑脸
生命从来不觉得自己对谁该负责任
太多虚伪情节的表面模糊陌生的眼
请让我在你身边
一起穿越 这条街
请让我在你身边
一起纪念
够痛快了吗 我知道啊
躲在你利刃之内
骄傲的自卑作祟
够鲜艳了吗 血染的花
被你刺满的双手
此刻擦乾你眼泪
生命从来不觉得自己对谁该负责任
我们看了编造的谎言就如此轻易 将彼此划成碎片
太多虚伪情节的表面模糊陌生的眼
请让我在你身边 一起穿越这条街
请让我在你身边 一起纪念这一天
总有一天我们都死去
丢掉名字的回忆再没有意义
总有一天我们都忘记
曾为了一个越演越烂的故事伤心
总有一天我们都叹息
笑着缅怀有过的愚蠢的美丽
就让现在过去
让我握你的手让你握我的手
彻底了解颤抖你会知道我
请让我在你身边
一起纪念 这一天
透过我的眼泪看你的脸
自由是我们需要的特权
你笑了我笑了笑了
这一天
让我轻抚你安慰
伤害我后的疲累
够尖锐了吗 看我的疤
用温柔包覆勇敢
给喘息的你笑脸
生命从来不觉得自己对谁该负责任

howdy ho...
howdy ho...
sigh...today hasn't been that great. work la...not that work isn't great. more like...something...some THINGS cocked up at work. i kinda wish i could help it, but i just...well...it was out of my hands.
anyway...whatever. i'll deal with it when it comes. work is starting to stress me out, and i'm trying to take it as it comes, without taking on too much stress. BUT it's a bit hard la. trying not to take failures or cock-ups personally.
they say it's a thankless job. i think most jobs are, so you kinda have to take it in stride. i tried my best. maybe my best could have been better, but...ah well...who's to judge?
anyway, hopefully my weekend will turn out for the better. it's CNY soon so i'll just have to hang in there a bit more.
or in the worst case...i now have 6 new bottles of hoegaarden.
hahahahaaaaa....
in any case....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXIS!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY-MY (mi-mi)!!!!

Spacing out.
i'm gonna just use the word that mel (one of my colleagues who reads my blog - HI MEL!!!) has adopted today.
s.p.a.c.e.d.
cause i'm feeling it too.
i kinda can't concentrate on work for a while. i call it the PLC...post-lunch-coma. looking at words and emails and tables and blah blah blah...my eyes just get into a daze and eventually...cross-eyed.
can't...keep...them...open.
so i don't care if ppl from work knows i'm not doing any work. it's my lunch break. and this doesn't take a whole day.
in fact, i haven't even been blogging at work...much.
anyway...
i feel like i don't have a firm grip on my life now. i have a grip...just not as firm. it's as if i'm depending on others to decide what i do, what i want, and what i feel. it's not necessarily a bad thing...but i think it loses a bit of the essence of "me". that...is not that nice. no. not very nice.
and it irks me that i can't just be bo-chap about it. i think it's because i have too strong a personality to begin with. so i feel weird when i become..."weak" (so to speak).
you know what all these mean?
it means i need a drink.
hahahahahaaaa
(now how many times have i said that?)
dear baby, pls be a good boy. stop eating things you shouldn't eat, biting things u shouldn't bite (me), scratching people you shouldn't scratch (me), and barking and howling and whining at unearthly hours. learn not to rip up the newspaper. that's your poopoo peepee buddy! mummy jiejie just wants you to be healthy (and sleeping most of the time). when you are good, then we can bring you out for walks and runs and bark/growl/pounce at strangers/other dogs/cats/people we don't like. ok???

baaaah...
i can't decide if today was a fruitful day or not.
i woke up at an earthky hour...think it was 9+ am. cleaned up after louis, tried to cut his nails, entertained him a bit.
then i went down town in an attempt to get meself some CNY clothes. actually, just ONE set. i went wisma to collect a dress from miss selfridge which i bought about a week back. the buttons were coming off so i had them "maintained".
then i walked...and walked...and walked...
and saw nothing. tried nothing. bought nothing.
bah! wat a waste of time.
that was 3 hours wasted!
alone!
so i came back home. went causeway pt first to get some stuff for louis, and pao pao cha.
sigh...such a depressing day. i came back, mopped the floor, cleaned up after louis who is having a bit of diarrhoea. poor baby. he is getting very rowdy and naughty and heavy. i got a couple of scratches already. argh...
watching HEROES marathon. duh...can't believe myself.
I'M SO BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm nursing a bit of a headache now.
it tends to happen when i get stressed about stuff. and it so happens i AM stressed about many many stuff. bah...
today is what i call a "devil's monday". yes...it's like i'm in hell and the evil beings are having a field day playing with my life.
"woo! how about throw her a spanner?!"
"oh! maybe shoot an arrow?!"
"ah...how about churning her brains into mush!?!"

Some thoughts.
I always say, shit happens.
OK...maybe I'm exagerrating a bit. It isn't exactly shit. My point is, things happen, and sometimes you can help it, sometimes (for some mundane, silly, overestimating reasons) you can't help it.
Some stuff makes you lose your inhibitions a bit.
Or a lot.
*ahem* (hahaha)
I digress. But what i mean to say is that things happen and there are a few ways to look at it.
One, you let it get to you.
Two, you let it slip, but it haunts you.
Three, you just move on.
I mean, the way you look at it depends on the severity of it. Or rather, it depends on how severe you perpetuate it to be. To one person, it may be nothing. To the next, it could be a major thing.
It's all circumstantial. Too many variables; too many things to factor in.
OK...so after beating around the bush for half the post already, what i'm trying to say is...
It was nothing.
There must be some trust that I can separate different aspects of my life.
No need to treat me any different.
My lips are zipped shut. (I'm scorpio...we keep secrets reeeally well.)
So please, just treat me the same as you would before.
Thanks.
(P/S: Whoever reads this and doesn't understand, it's ok. Not meant for you to understand, unless you can understand of course, which almost all of you won't. haha...take it that I'm letting out steam. =))

Detachment
i suddenly realise that i tend to be rather detached from a lot of things.
i wonder if it's just a scorpio thing. you know, being mysterious and all.
it's just that i have this very independent streak and sometimes, it makes me detached and aloof.
anyway, this is not about me.
i've been thinking of doing an activity for MS. it's still in the planning stage, and we haven't talk to laoshi about it. but to give everyone (or anyone who reads my blog) the heads-up, the tentative plan is to have an amazing race-like thingy in sentosa. we will have games, activities, brainteasers, etc from one station to the next, very much like amazing race, but smaller scale. got detour and road blocks and stuff. hahahaha....a lot of work though. we'll need to recce the whole of sentosa, look for info and games and activities to test participants, make sure we won't need to make ppl pay too much money but have fun, make sure WE don't spend too much money, get the props and clues ready, get support staff like station managers, coordinators, cameramen and photographer (xuan??? hahahaaa)...a lot of work lah.
currently, we have xieshun and i on board. of course we'll include the usual suspects and see who wans to be support staff, and who wants to be participants.
XIESHUN!!! WE NEED A CO-ORD MEETING SOON!!
anyway, we are slating it for the CNY weekend when MS is closed for CNY, so everybody can take part.
cool idea???
what do you guys think?
i'm very excited. damn excited. tooooo excited!
SHUNNNIE!!! Can we have the meeting this week??? Say...err...Sun? Wed? haha...when I'm at MS? hahahaaaa....gather your troops!!
ok.
louis is going for his 2nd vaccination shot today. hohoho...think he's gonna feel quite sore about it. oh btw, he knows how to "sit" already! very cute...i used the doggie xiao man tou to train him. so now he sees the bag of xiao man tou, he auto-sit. hahahahaaaaa.
watched Elizabeth: The Golden Age yesterday. GOOD movie. i liked it. i always have this fascination for British royalty and the history behind it. should go watch it if you like some history and also for the beautiful and always elegant Cate Blanchett. she's goooood!
yibedee...that's all folks.
