A few weeks ago..
Bf and I went to watch a movie in Vivocity.. we are mountain tortoises who never get a chance to watch movie at the new cinema.
Anyway.. in the end, after going through the limited choices of bad movies, boring movies... we picked this movie for our midnight movie crave - Perfume.. Story of a Murderer.
We went to Aljunied there to eat my fave. Ho Kee Pau.. before heading back to Vivo.
The place.. was really comfy.. huge leg space.. and.. nice comfortable sleep.. which made me feel like sleeping..
Anyway.. the show started.. started in a weird way..
Scene set in the 17/ 18th century in Old Paris.. we actually tot it's a modern kinda show..
Woman gave birth (with ease) to a baby boy and threw him into a smelly heap of fish gills etc (cos they are in a fish market) becos' I think she think he's a still-born. Suddenly.. the baby started sniffing the air.. and in 1 scene, when another woman tried touching the baby, the baby actually GRABBED the woman's finger and pulled towards his NOSE to SMELL!!
How creepy that is!
Anyway.. the mum was hanged after that (for suspecting to kill her own son) (-.-|||)
So the baby sent to a orphanage and was almost killed by some evil kids.
He then grew up.. smelling every single thing he can get his hands on.. even a rotting dead rat..
Eventually he was sold to a tannery.. and worked there.. which he later on, again caused the death of the tannery owner.
Before that, he was attracted to a perfume shop.. becos' the many new scents..
He saw a young lady.. carrying a basket of plums i think.. and my guess is, he like the smell.. and the girl was probably smelling like one.
He followed her.. and she suspected someone was following her.. when she stopped, that weird guy was already behind her.. smelling her just, millimetres away from her skin, smelling her.. She was shocked to see a guy smelling her like a dog to poo. (lol)
She ran away, and this guy easily caught up with her cos' his sense of smell was even better than a dog!
Anyway.. he managed to get behind her and smell her again.. this time, she couldn't detect him at all.. I guess it's becos' she was tired.. and he, doesn't have any smell on him.
Do you know that everyone has his/her own personal body scent? This guy, probably doesn't have one..
Anyway, when the girl turned around and saw him, he panicked, and accidentally killed her.
BUT.. he literally got so engrossed into smelling her, just torn her clothes off her dead corpse and started smelling her every inch of bare skin. I'm really surprised that the actress can tahan letting a stranger smell her.. Ha ha ha..
So.. story goes on.. narrating that the guy wanted to perserve smell.. so he went to learn from a perfume maker.. the differnt ways to perserve smells.. of GIRLS (secretly lar)
And.. then he set foot into the paris main city to learn from the grand masters.. and.. he learn that special technique and off he goes on a killing spree.. killing almost 12 girls which he liked their scents..
After gathering the last 13th girl.. he combined all the 'perfume' and created the ultimate heavenly one..
Of cos.. all crime-doers dont go scot-free.. he was caught by the 13th girl's father.
The guy wanted to test the potency of his newly-made perfume and dab a bit on himself..
Unfortunately.. the perfume.. was too heavenly till..
everyone at the square waiting to see the pervert perfume guy beheaded.. all go into a sex frenzy.. started stripping.. and er.. you-know-wat..
It was like a mass orgy.. everyone at the cinema was..er.. giggling away.. me and bf was like.. "weird movie..."
and so.. perfume guy managed to escape unharmed..
But eventually.. for i-dunno-what-reason, he poured the entire contents on himself and the people near him.. for.. er.. too much..er.. love(?), devoured him.. leaving only his clothes behind.
And.. The end..
STUPID RIGHT??? I know it's a R21 show (i tot it's just some nudity and gory scene of probably being able to see bodies chopped up), but this is..SUPER WEIRD AND STUPID LOR..
Seriously.. unless you got money to spare.. and need to see some unshaved armpits/ shaved pu**ies (contradicting of 17/18th century women to shave their pu**ies instead of their armpits).. perhaps you can watch that.

Valentine's Day..
First thing, I wanna say..
I'm glad that 2 of my friends have decided to pair up after months of friendship.. A compatible pair - even though height might seem to be an issue.. but what Pinky always says.. Everyone is of the same 'height' in bed. LOL~
But personality-wise, I guess 2 of them are like best of friends, able to share their thoughts, feelings and everything with each other. That's the most important part in a relationship. Who would wanna have a relationship just becos' he/she is handsome/ pretty, rich/ poor, or..worse.. lust?
As for me..
We din spend V-day in some fancy restaurants or have a bouquet of roses in my hands..
In fact.. knowing from past experiences that restaurants will be fully packed, cinemas will be swarming with young couples (girls in mini skirts, guys with big bags) and you thought you are sitting in a rocking/ massaging chair with a deja-vu of hearing a certain weird 'sound' from some weird-RA movies, deserted carparks suddenly full-house with newspapers sticking on their windows (especially after 9pm), hotels having good business, couples aiming for November and December babies..
We decided to go to a normal coffeeshop @ Bukit Batok for a plate of good O' fried hokkien prawn noodles and Or-Jian. Then again, we realised that even the coffeeshops are packed.. with families dining out. :P
Boring you say?
Haha.. We are a pair of clever piggies.. that we have already planned to spend a 'ROMANTIC' night-out @ Vivocity watching GHOST-RIDER! HA HA HA HA.. then of cos, I'm also planning to probably spend the remaining $60 vouchers on either a Stella Macartney Perfume OR MORE MAKE-UP!!! All thanks to today's edition of Urban, where they start talking about the different make-up for CNY. I glued my eyes on this Clinque Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine. My sinister plan is to let anyone who sees me during CNY to focus more on my FACE than my blubbering layers of fats.. then of cos, my bf will probably suggest to draw a face of a wayang to attract more attention. I can foresee myself spending a day or 2 @ Hougang Chalet. WAHAHAHA..
In whichever case, both of us are planning to 'earn' more ang paos this year, even though I hate the fact that I'll be bombarded with STUPID questions and comments like:
1) WHEN ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED? YOUR WHO-XX-WHO IS GETTING MARRIED END OF THIS YEAR LEH..
2) WHEN ARE YOU SLIMMING DOWN? BETTER LOSE WEIGHT NOW LAR.. IF NOT WEDDING DAY WILL LOOK UGLY
3) WHERE ARE YOU WORKING NOW? *pauses to think of further stupid history questions* STILL STUDYING? (2nd qn) OR STILL WORKING IN THAT WHAT-AGENCY AT TANJONG PAGAR? *note: since last year I've already told them I'm working in NWCDC.. sighs~*
4) AIYOH.. YOU GAIN WEIGHT IZZIT? *Note: $%%!@#%^@*^G*
5) HOW MUCH YOU EARNING NOW? MY XX-WHO-XX IS EARNING AROUND 2.5K NOW LEH.. YOU LEH? GOVERNMENT JOBS MUST BE PAYING VERY HIGH HOR?
and many more which I shall decline to put up any further..
Therefore, I've also thought of some good answers which I'm intending to use.. I realise that for the past years, I'm probably deemed to them as someone timid and introvert.. which in actual fact, I'm just giving my parents face for not being direct, straightforward and with a wicked tongue.
My answers, for everyone to 参考。
1) MARRIED? SEE HOW LAR.. I'M NOT THAT DESPERATE YET.
*Note: this indirectly telling them that their xx-who-xx are so desperate that they wanna quickly get married before they are either be left on the shelves or their rich-probably-stupid partners will set eyes for another*
2) SLIM DOWN? FOR WAT? YOU ALSO HAVEN'T SLIMMED DOWN LEH.. FURTHERMORE, I DON'T WANT THOSE SLIMMING CENTRE TO CON ME OF MY MONEY. BEAUTIFUL DOESN'T NECESSARY MEANS I MUST BE SLIM HOR.
3) I'M NOW A TEAM LEAD OF A TEAM OF 6 C****R C*********S IN NWCDC UNDER W*A. NOT FORGETTING THAT I WAS ALSO A TEAM LEAD IN MY PREVIOUS JOB IN TANJONG PAGAR.
*Note: This is to protect myself from any nuisiance enquiries, and to hightlight to any arrogant relatives that I'm capable of getting promotions with my hard-work and diligence therefore, do not try to 'arouse' my anger*
4) YES, I'VE GAINED WEIGHT.. BECOS' MY BF TREATS ME EXTREMELY WELL AND FEEDS ME WITH LOTSA TENDER LOVING CARE, TILL I CAN'T HELP IT BUT TO GAIN WEIGHT.
*Note: My motive.. to make them speechless.. and if they are to ask me Question 1, just answer using answer 1. That will shut them up any further*
5) THEY EARN SO MUCH AR? GOOD LOR.. I ONLY EARN 'THANK-YOUs" AND 'RESPECT' FOR WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY SERVICE LINE, HELPING THE NEEDY/ UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE OF SINGAPORE.
*Note: It may be seem as a glamourous job, but certainly change many people's lives through our efforts*
There.. you have it..
These answers are carefully 'crafted' to avoid any remarks from relatives that you have no 家教, and indirectly giving them sarcastic answers. Heh heh.. *grins*
My note: If you are offended by anything that I've said, or think that I think highly (rather, fatly.. WAHAHAHA) of myself.. go ahead, like as if I care..
This is my life.. and this is how I live it!
I think a famous blogger probably amde this comment before (i think).. "Don't like what I've blog, then don't read my blog lor.. "
I love that comment..:P

Preparing for shifting..
I'm demoted...
From 6th floor, demoted until 1st floor..
Aiyah.. I'm shifting down to my level 1 service centre office lar.. Consolidation as they called it.
Now in the midst of packing up my barang barang.. and I realised.. I actually had 3 boxes full of stuffs.. files, stationeries, personal stuffs.. Jeez..
Supposed to be moving today, but it was postponed due to some cock-up of the 'computer-to-holder' assets issue.. (-.-)
The best part of all..
I'm not in office for 3 whole days next week.
Monday - Eldercare Leave, Tues - On course, Weds - Admitting to Changi Prison.. for training purposes.. Ha ha ha..
So.. if the shifting starting any time during that 3 days.. at least I have 90% of my stuffs packed and ready to go, courtesy of my colleagues who will shift for moi~ :P
Good thing about workinga t level 1, no need to arm and disarm the security system.. thus, can come as early as possible or work as late as possible..
Which... I intend not to do so. New year resolution: To reduce the number of days that I work OT in office..
Anyway, last Wednesday, I went to attend Fuchun CC's Toastmasters Club which my colleague has arranged for us. I've always wanted to see how Toastmasters Club is like.. and.. my wish came true.
It's interesting.. and all of us get to present a table-topic (any topic given by one of the members) and start talking for 1 min (min.). Secretly.. one of them was counting the number of la,leh, erm, hmm.. okay.. alright etc.. As you might guess it, mine was.. quite a big number. Ha ha ha. Not exactly a public speaker yet.. :P
I'm still wondering if I should join.. my busy work.. work-life imbalance.. hiaks hiaks.. then again, bf also work ot (at least not as late as me for the time being)..
Hmm..
Well.. tmr's Saturday and I intend NOT to go office.. I'm gonna relax and slack.. and enjoy my weekend..
Earlier on, bf asked me what Valentines' Day present I want; either a shopping spree (with a budget given) or he will just buy something for me.
Shopping Spree of $100 vs Mystery Present with an element of Surprise..
That spree is tempting.. imagine, I can buy M.A.C makeup, bags, shoes, clothes (hopefully I can squeeze as many thing as possible).. But considering his thin, skinny wallet.. hmm.. that was not a very good thought.
Mystery present.. I like mysteries.. I like surprises..
Although I can somehow read his mind (or see through the present - perhaps we have very good telepathy), it's still a nice gesture.. Just like the executive planner that he bought for me. Din expect him to get it for me but he saw it and bought it (even though it's rather ex), knowing that I've been searching high and low for it. So now.. I bring it with me everyday.
Perhaps mystery present is a good choice.. Who knows mystery present can get a '1-carrot' diamond.. why not?! LOL
Talk about 1-carrot diamond.. While walking past some jewellary shop some time back, I told bf that some of the diamond rings, necklaces blah blah are nice (having wishful thinking that he will buy for me).. He replied saying, "NO PROBLEM!". I was like, 'Sure or not?'.
He then said...
"just give them 1 CARROT lor.. then u can get your 1-CARROT ring.. "
(--)
No comments..
The things he said to me at times.. makes me wonder... how many crows are flying above my head already..
Hmm.. before I forget..
To the special 2 friends of mine,
远在天边，近在眼前。
相信命运，别在迟疑。
随心所欲，毫不犹豫。
To the Anonymous who left the comments in my previous entry, my bf, Moon, wanna know who you are cos' he's very curious as well and another thing is, he hopes to get in touch with his old friends (from back then i.e: Levi's), maybe can also meet up for kopi or something.
Doesn't matter if you are a guy, gal, ex-gf or who-ever, he hopes to keep in touch. Don't worry, I won't go with a parang behind me, if say, you are the ex-gf. Ha ha ha..
Becos' .... if you are not the ex, then I won't be the current, having the best bf in the whole world. :D
Dear, if you are seeing this, I LOVE YOU~! ;)

23 items for $1563
I'm not giving 4D number lar..
That's the cost of fixing our Lil' Red Flying Bullet aka Toyota Ferrari.. ok.. that's to console ourselves. Duh~ (-.-|||)
Our starlet.. recently was on hospitalisation leave last weekend (why am I only writing now? cos'... I no mood to blog after 12 hours at work)
EVERYTHING in the ENGINE compartment.. except the radiator (already changed) and engine (re-conditioned a year back) is NEW!!!!
YES! NEW!!!!!!!!
She has finally got new transplants!!
She's now like a new car.. felt like a new car (car no longer rumbles).. drove like a new car (so silent so.. steady..)... only thing is.. the exterior.. still got little dents.. CURSED THOSE INCONSIDERATE DRIVERS!!!
Our mechanic.. is such a nice guy.. Good recommendation by bf's friend (who's now in Aussie studying). Mechanic's workshop deals with Toyota Starlets (most of the toyota starlet club peeps went to him) so.. anything wrong (or needed an upgrade) he can just tell..
So.. we gave him our budget and he did the rest..
In just 2 days.. ok.. 1.5 day cos we went around 3pm on Saturday and got the car back on Monday around 7pm.
So.. what did we do without our car?
We went to *temporary memory loss* erm..hmm..er...
....
...
..
.
..
...
....
Oh yes.. BUGIS!!! *pai seh.. I still suffering from short-term memory loss*
BY MRT hor!!!
Nothing new for me since I took MRT to work everyday..
BF.. hasn't been in MRT for the past 3.5 years ever since we got car!! WAHAHAHAHAHA..
to make him even more pai seh.. i shall reveal some goondu things he did..
*he's gonna whacked me upside down.. and skinned me alive if he even knows this*
He actually.. attempted to slot the Ez-Link card* in the front of the ticket machine!!!
You know.. like the old times, when we using the filmsy card..
*He has an ez-link card cos' previously he drove and park his car at West Coast MacDonalds before taking a bus to his office at Pasir Panjang to save parking $$
Actually I din know one lor.. he told me after we came out..
He said.. too used to it..
HA HA HA HA
Ok lar.. dun laff at him liao.. I evil gf.. bad piggy.. :X
So anyway.. we shopped around.. ate at Fish & Co..
Oh yAh.. this.. I must WARN everyone!
Being the typical moon who dun eat seafood (unless it's fried, de-shelled, tiny winy small), he ordered his New York Fish & Chips which looks like something new on the menu. It was described as "Packed with xxxxx cheese inside blah blah blah.." something like that..
So.. literally we thought.. the fish & chips must have got cheese inside lor?! Sounds yummy..
Then.. looking down the menu, he said this Swordfish collar sounds new and interesting..
Swordfish leh!! with what mango vingeratte.. sounds.. so.. delicious..
And since I'm the seafood-fish eater.. he ordered that for me.
I was thinking.. why not lor?
I kept having this thinking that it's like the salmon steak that kind..
And then we ordered this.. dunno simi icy drink.. Got pineapple and Rambutan.. Picture of it shows a Mug that looks.. er.. small.. to save $$$.. we ordered 1 to share..
And..
We waited..
Drink came..
We were like... WOW~
Giant MUG.. really GIANT lor.. you know those beer mugs (the ones in coffeeshops?).. it's like 4x as BIG!!!
Looks like those bubble tea ice blended types.. drink until your face turn blue..
We were happy.. and quietly said to ourselves, "heng we ordered 1 nia.."
We continued waiting...
20mins..
Why so long? I hungree..
Bf's new york fish & chips came..
Er.. looks like normal fish & chips.. so.. he ate before me.. I stared at the fish..
Where's the cheese?? How come never ooze out one?
I aked him.. cheeze leh? Bf replied.. "you see the creamy stuff on the fish?.. that's the cheese!"
I frowned.. Bluff customers leh.. it's miserably little.. my imagination ran of it as semen with parsley flakes.. ok.. sorry for being gross. :P
Disappointed..
I have a bad bad feeling about my swordfish..
Then my food came.. Bf stared with his 2 small eyes wide open..
I looked behind..
My jaws became wide open..
WIN LIAO..
2 BIG BIG pieces of dark brown bones at each side of the pan (and they used the pan for the seafood platter for 2 kind) with lotsa rice in the centre..
For a moment, we were wondering if they are fried chicken..
I have absolutely no idea where to start..
Ok.. fine.. I'll just..er.. cut..
Here.. bone.. ok.. there.. some meat.. scrap out.. then bone again.. some meat.. then some big pieces of meat.. after struggling for another 10 mins.. I have a pan of fish meat and rice with the bones on the saucer.
Took a bit of the fish..
YUCKS.. FISHY.. GROSS.. DRY.. HARD TO CHEW..
Bf bravely attempted a try of it.. face expressions changes gradually.,
Conclusion.. SWORDFISH TASTES HORRIBLE!!!!!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY IT OUT AT ALL WHEN YOU GO FISH&CO!!!!!
In my humble 'super self-proclaimed chef's' opinion.. the fish is not marinated (not even a taste of it), not well-treated for.. since it's a saltwater fish which tends to have more fishy taste than the freshwater relatives.. fried for too long thus the dry and chewy texture and the ugly dark brown colour..
No wonder only costs $14.90.
BAD BAD BAD..
We feedbacked to the waitress.. hopefully she will feedback to the management..
Foot the bill and left..
Other than the giant ice-blended and the chewy mints.. it's a disappointment overall.
Went back to bf's home by MRT and feeder bus.. took our shower.. and went back into serious business..
XBOX!
Lord of the Rings-Third Age.. we played the hard version.. and we played that till Sunday..
Yes.. at home all day (other than eating KFC for brunch).. we stayed at home playing XBOX..
Monday came.. we went to get our car..
Opened the bonnet, told us what they changed.. and show us the old and worn parts which he put in a big tray.. all 23 items of it..
$1563.. ALL brand new..
Bf gleaming with delight..
Drove like a boy with new toy.. I was at first gloomy.. cos.. it's like $1500++ lor.. can buy 2 XBOX 360 lor.. SAD leh..
BUT.. less than 2 mins in the car.. I asked.. "YOU START ENGINE AND DRIVE LIAO AR?"
YES.. he's already out of Sin Ming road.. I din even feel anything lor..
Ok.. money well-spent.. and mechanic even helped to 'un-dent' the giant dent at the front right tyre area there. No costs at all.. (ya.. if he dare to charge me despite being a regular, i strangle him with the timing belt)
So.. now.. everyday.. bf is a happy man..
I also a happy pig.. cos everytime he wears his new long sleeve shirt and pants (we bought from G2000 and timberland), he looks so smart and handsome.. finally.. I can to see him wearing office wear instead of his usual casual tees and jeans.. *grins*
Waiting for 1pm..
LOTR-THIRD AGE.. HERE I COME!!!
That's the cost of fixing our Lil' Red Flying Bullet aka Toyota Ferrari.. ok.. that's to console ourselves. Duh~ (-.-|||)

She's now like a new car.. felt like a new car (car no longer rumbles).. drove like a new car (so silent so.. steady..)... only thing is.. the exterior.. still got little dents.. CURSED THOSE INCONSIDERATE DRIVERS!!!
Our mechanic.. is such a nice guy.. Good recommendation by bf's friend (who's now in Aussie studying). Mechanic's workshop deals with Toyota Starlets (most of the toyota starlet club peeps went to him) so.. anything wrong (or needed an upgrade) he can just tell..
So.. we gave him our budget and he did the rest..
In just 2 days.. ok.. 1.5 day cos we went around 3pm on Saturday and got the car back on Monday around 7pm.
So.. what did we do without our car?
We went to *temporary memory loss* erm..hmm..er...
....
...
..
.
..
...
....
Oh yes.. BUGIS!!! *pai seh.. I still suffering from short-term memory loss*
BY MRT hor!!!
Nothing new for me since I took MRT to work everyday..
BF.. hasn't been in MRT for the past 3.5 years ever since we got car!! WAHAHAHAHAHA..
to make him even more pai seh.. i shall reveal some goondu things he did..
*he's gonna whacked me upside down.. and skinned me alive if he even knows this*
He actually.. attempted to slot the Ez-Link card* in the front of the ticket machine!!!
You know.. like the old times, when we using the filmsy card..
*He has an ez-link card cos' previously he drove and park his car at West Coast MacDonalds before taking a bus to his office at Pasir Panjang to save parking $$
Actually I din know one lor.. he told me after we came out..
He said.. too used to it..
HA HA HA HA
Ok lar.. dun laff at him liao.. I evil gf.. bad piggy.. :X
So anyway.. we shopped around.. ate at Fish & Co..
Oh yAh.. this.. I must WARN everyone!
Being the typical moon who dun eat seafood (unless it's fried, de-shelled, tiny winy small), he ordered his New York Fish & Chips which looks like something new on the menu. It was described as "Packed with xxxxx cheese inside blah blah blah.." something like that..
So.. literally we thought.. the fish & chips must have got cheese inside lor?! Sounds yummy..
Then.. looking down the menu, he said this Swordfish collar sounds new and interesting..
Swordfish leh!! with what mango vingeratte.. sounds.. so.. delicious..
And since I'm the seafood-fish eater.. he ordered that for me.
I was thinking.. why not lor?
I kept having this thinking that it's like the salmon steak that kind..
And then we ordered this.. dunno simi icy drink.. Got pineapple and Rambutan.. Picture of it shows a Mug that looks.. er.. small.. to save $$$.. we ordered 1 to share..
And..
We waited..
Drink came..
We were like... WOW~
Giant MUG.. really GIANT lor.. you know those beer mugs (the ones in coffeeshops?).. it's like 4x as BIG!!!
Looks like those bubble tea ice blended types.. drink until your face turn blue..
We were happy.. and quietly said to ourselves, "heng we ordered 1 nia.."
We continued waiting...
20mins..
Why so long? I hungree..
Bf's new york fish & chips came..
Er.. looks like normal fish & chips.. so.. he ate before me.. I stared at the fish..
Where's the cheese?? How come never ooze out one?
I aked him.. cheeze leh? Bf replied.. "you see the creamy stuff on the fish?.. that's the cheese!"
I frowned.. Bluff customers leh.. it's miserably little.. my imagination ran of it as semen with parsley flakes.. ok.. sorry for being gross. :P
Disappointed..
I have a bad bad feeling about my swordfish..
Then my food came.. Bf stared with his 2 small eyes wide open..
I looked behind..
My jaws became wide open..
WIN LIAO..
2 BIG BIG pieces of dark brown bones at each side of the pan (and they used the pan for the seafood platter for 2 kind) with lotsa rice in the centre..
For a moment, we were wondering if they are fried chicken..
I have absolutely no idea where to start..
Ok.. fine.. I'll just..er.. cut..
Here.. bone.. ok.. there.. some meat.. scrap out.. then bone again.. some meat.. then some big pieces of meat.. after struggling for another 10 mins.. I have a pan of fish meat and rice with the bones on the saucer.
Took a bit of the fish..
YUCKS.. FISHY.. GROSS.. DRY.. HARD TO CHEW..
Bf bravely attempted a try of it.. face expressions changes gradually.,
Conclusion.. SWORDFISH TASTES HORRIBLE!!!!!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY IT OUT AT ALL WHEN YOU GO FISH&CO!!!!!
In my humble 'super self-proclaimed chef's' opinion.. the fish is not marinated (not even a taste of it), not well-treated for.. since it's a saltwater fish which tends to have more fishy taste than the freshwater relatives.. fried for too long thus the dry and chewy texture and the ugly dark brown colour..
No wonder only costs $14.90.
BAD BAD BAD..
We feedbacked to the waitress.. hopefully she will feedback to the management..
Foot the bill and left..
Other than the giant ice-blended and the chewy mints.. it's a disappointment overall.
Went back to bf's home by MRT and feeder bus.. took our shower.. and went back into serious business..
XBOX!
Lord of the Rings-Third Age.. we played the hard version.. and we played that till Sunday..
Yes.. at home all day (other than eating KFC for brunch).. we stayed at home playing XBOX..
Monday came.. we went to get our car..
Opened the bonnet, told us what they changed.. and show us the old and worn parts which he put in a big tray.. all 23 items of it..
$1563.. ALL brand new..
Bf gleaming with delight..
Drove like a boy with new toy.. I was at first gloomy.. cos.. it's like $1500++ lor.. can buy 2 XBOX 360 lor.. SAD leh..
BUT.. less than 2 mins in the car.. I asked.. "YOU START ENGINE AND DRIVE LIAO AR?"
YES.. he's already out of Sin Ming road.. I din even feel anything lor..
Ok.. money well-spent.. and mechanic even helped to 'un-dent' the giant dent at the front right tyre area there. No costs at all.. (ya.. if he dare to charge me despite being a regular, i strangle him with the timing belt)
So.. now.. everyday.. bf is a happy man..
I also a happy pig.. cos everytime he wears his new long sleeve shirt and pants (we bought from G2000 and timberland), he looks so smart and handsome.. finally.. I can to see him wearing office wear instead of his usual casual tees and jeans.. *grins*
Waiting for 1pm..
LOTR-THIRD AGE.. HERE I COME!!!
I (actually it's WE) WANT A XBOX 360!
Yes.. I (and Moon).. we BOTH want a XBOX 360!!!
Look at the games!! SO TEMPTING!!
GRAPHICS so nice!!!
ARGHHH~!!!!
WHY MUST IT COST A FREAKING $699 FOR THOSE DAMNED SETS!!!!!!!
haiz..
Life sux when you busted your pocket to repair a car...

自恋
Ok.. I was 自恋 enough to take pix..
But.. not clear enough to see my new hairdo.. Anyway, pix was taken before I went to bf's company D&D at Chevrons last Saturday.
Big company sure beri generous to its employees..
From 31st to 169th prizes, are vouchers worth at least $50.. From 30th prize to 1st prize.. prizes SI BEI good lor!!!
Ranging from few hundred dollars (up to 1 thousand) worth of cash vouchers, shopping vouchers, holiday trip for 2, PLASMA TVs, PSPs, XBOX 360 (unfortunately bf never win that :"[ ... ), to the top prize..
Guess wat?
....
...
..
.
.
.
ROLEX WATCH WORTH $5888!!!!!!
It wasn't won by the management.. but a TECHNICIAN!!!!! In fact 60% of the prizes are won by the workers.. Imagine how HAPPY that guy is!!
The middle management up till the top management, even the GM and DIRECTOR went to drink with the technicians. It's not just 1 glass.. but a few rounds of GLASSES.. till the extent that the company went to ask the restaurant to bring in the beer barrel directly! Everyone drank like crazy.. GM (a LADY hor) drank up all the beer in the MUG.. not a drop..
It was really FUN!
1st time went to D&D.. I'm hoping my company will be something like that.. Food, Drinks, Fun..
====================
All of a sudden, have the urge to sing karaoke.. unfortunately.. I've been coughing very badly lately.. so.. rather not risk breaking windows and glass doors going to karaoke with friends (which i hope to go out with more often, other than my current karaoke-colleagues). My bro just told me that he and his gf sometimes will go karaoke, when they really got nothing else to do.. bf dun sing karaoke, so.. maybe can just tag along with my bro and be a giant round light bulb.. WAHAHAHA~
Anyway..
Went into you-tube and sang to the music videos in KTV versions.. Heh Heh..
I have quite a lot of songs now which I've 'favourited' them.. practising for my karaoke sessions everytime.. if not always sing all the same old songs, also beri sianz..
I've more or less know how to sing 珊瑚海 and 发如雪.. practise a bit on 徐若瑄&曹格- I Still Believe.. as well as 千里之外.
Come to think of it.. I was going thru 曹格's other songs, found that he's really talented and his voice is really nice..
Ok.. time to hit the bed..

Cough..Cough.. Cough..
Yes.. I'm coughing like crazy..
After singing karaoke continuously for 4 hours (straining my voice to reach that high high note- which i almost killed Annie for thinking that I can sing as good as her), continously sleeping late at 3-4am during the weekends and holidays, soaking myself in BBQ smoke on 31st Dec... I finally fell sick.
But it's all worth it..
I had fun through the weekends.. spent 3 days at bf's house, doing nothing but playing xbox, pigging through doughnuts, pastas, ice-creams, bubble-teas etc (the kgs I've lost is now officially gained back in just 3 days). Totally relaxed.. and ready to chiong my 2007..
Today.. other than the cough.. I'm starting my 2007 at work as a Team Leader. A sense of achievement i guess.. I looked back the years from school till now..
In primary school, I'm a nerd.. been to EM1.. quiet.. and afraid of taking initiatives..
In secondary school.. lower secondary.. still a nerd, sucked in Maths.. fond of drawing.. drew cartoon characters of my class-mates.. made a name for myself for doing so.. happier.. and slightly more outgoing..made a Patrol leader in less than 1 year in Girl Guides.. the start of leadership journey..
Upper secondary.. 'banished' to last class in express for having lousy maths (despite good results in languages and sciences), made plenty of good friends.. became super outgoing (and horribly tomboyish).. usually top 5 in class.. still a patrol leader.. lost out in a few votes to become Company Leader for Girl Guides (cried my heart out but continued to support my CL).. designed class tees and gifts for relief teachers with my cartoons.. Excel in studies.. supposedly the 'pet' of my Home Econs/ Food & Nutrition teacher.. got good grades for O's.
3 months in JC... skipped classes for Econs (ever since the stupid teacher gave me 1 out of 20 for my 1st Econs test), enjoyed History (almost the same things taught in sec 3 and 4), told by GP teacher and chinese teacher that students from Commonwealth Sec impressed them becos' of our good languages (me and another classmate went to YJC).. bitched about the RV girls, CHIJ girls.. and the RGS girls but realised that they are actually very nice and outgoing.. Didn't continue JC despite having 14 pts.. cos.. I dun like that kinda life.. and also becos' of bloody comment made by that idiot teacher who said the subjects tat I've taken were just GENERAL education, not FIT for PURE SCIENCE!! KNNBCCB..
Went to poly with 11pts.. my relatives started 'looking down' on me.. saying I'm silly.. and should have gone to JC.. Turned my eyes on them.. and went on with my life.. c'mon lor.. i was the 1st in the family to have 247 agg. for PSLE afterwhich my cousins then slowly one by one got higher agg. than me hor.. stupid relatives.. :
3 years in SP.. nerd in class.. had my 1st bf thru IRC (ya.. I know.. farnie hor?).. had CCA as a SPAC2GO.. became the Head for Social & Welfare Committee.. appointed Leader for Final Year Project team.. eventually got a A for our self-made, self-composed, self-sang MTV project.. enjoyed my poly life totally, except the breaking up with my 1st bf during the last semester of my 3 yrs in poly..
Worked as an inhouse Graphics Designer for 2.5 yrs with a mobile service provider.. given opportunity to manage my own projects.. Met my current love thru ICQ..
Worked in a Recruitment agency as a Recruitment Consultant.. became a Team Leader within 6 months.. resigned upon my 1 year with the company to work with CDC..
2005 August.. my life changed.. and i changed many people's lives as well..
2006 May.. became an Employer Servicing Consultant.. new portfolio.. new challenges..
2006 September.. absorbed into WDA.. faced more stress.. facing challenges to work harder and better..
2006 December.. informed by ACM that I'll be a Team Leader in the new year.. hard work recognised.. sensed of achievement..
2007 January.. I'm a Team Leader.. wah piang.. so much responsibilities.. challenges.. and more challenges.. Will I be able to make the mark? Or will I disappoint those who have so much faith in me? Will everyone support me?
I hope my previous learning experiences can help me again..

Karoke..
Annie and I sang karaoke from 6pm to 10pm.. after many months of 'rest'.
Sang our hearts out sia.. invited quite a few friends/ colleagues along.. but all no give face. Either go another colleague's open-house, sick if not overtime. Thus only left the 2 of us.
Sang 曹格's Superwoman, Jay Chou's 七里香 and 千里之外, many many more.. practised with annie some duets (since we seldom got guys who know how to sing) 窗外 and 你最珍贵 (now we are expert in this song, I can sing Jacky Cheung version pretty well. LOL). I also tried singing 恋爱达人 on my own.
No idea how many songs we sang.. serious.. I only know.. now.. my throat is.. rather dry... HA HA HA..
Waiting for another round of karaoke.. Now i'm a member of both Party World and K-Box.
Anyone wanna go karaoke???

2006.. ending.. 2007... coming...
Last Friday.. we had our NWCDC staff retreat at Sentosa's Siloso beach Resort. Think it's just been built, so quite a few parts were still under construction. BUT.. the place is beautiful.. the view that's over-looking.. the sea.. the trees.. So relaxing..
Me and Annie arrived there super early, cos' hers is a weekend car. So we had our 'free' breakfast at the rooftop. why 'free'? Cos'... the breakfast is catered for the hotel residents. The staff tot that we were the hotel residents so din bother about us. Ha ha ha..
Anyway.. I was sabo-ed to be emcee again. (-.-)
Morning session's usually work.. but it was fun.. cos' the presentations by all the teams were damned hilarious!! laff our heads off lor..
Then.. afternoon we have our games.. Went for ride at the er... cable-bench? or was that sky-ride? Whatever lar.. Then visited images of Singapore... which...
our GM... had a 'lovely' surprise inside.. Ha ha ha.. There were some actors posing as figurines inside the musuem. Our GM tot that they are just wax figurines (anyway.. the place was really dim) and put his arm on one of the 'china-man' arm. To his surprise, it was soft and warm to the touch. Within milli-seconds, the figurine suddenly became ALIVE and scared the hell out of our poor GM. That scene was absolutely funny!!
Travelling with our GM is actually fun.. cos he likes to crack jokes and soemtimes do a bit of action to make everyone laff. Very fatherly figure. He even participated in our Captain Ball competition and very very sporting lor.. even our DGM as well.
This captain ball definately made me run more than what I ran in the past YEARS! After the game, we had another mind-boggling mental game. Supposed to use any mathematical ways to give the answer to 10 with the given 4 numbers. i.e.: 1, 2, 3, 4 = 10. Solution: 1+2+3+4= 10 or 1 x (2+3) + 4 =10 etc. This game actually came up by our GM leh.. we only knew it when we were resting in one of the hotel rooms and our GM came in to relax. Gave us some other sums to play around.. then we realised why he so good in these.. he majored in physics last time.. No wonder lor..
After washing up, we had our buffet dinner and gift exchange. Guess who bought my present? Our MAYOR!!! I was so.. so.. surprised! When asked whom he had bought the present for (via drawing of lots a month ago), he said it's for a young fun-loving lady, then said out my name.. Damned pai-seh sia.. Anyway.. our mayor bought me a sporty waist pouch and a boxing-glove cushion on a stick (somewhat like those massager.. and it happens that my mum had asked me to buy since hers was spoiled).
Nice memories of 2006..

Appraisal is finally over...
YES!!!
It's over!!!!!!
It's finally over!!!!!
Then again... over liao , so wat?
Ha ha ha..
I've been working until pretty late everyday.. going back around after 8pm+.. there's this Friday (just last week), I left office at 11.50PM along with Annie.. She was rushing through the appraisals which she had to correct many of my colleagues' English.. For me, I was trying to finish as much work as possible.
The most amazing thing that we did was to come back to work the next day.. at around 8-9am. It's a Saturday.. came back to do housekeeping since GM wants to check our workstations.. (-.-|||)
Since there's plans to renovate our area, I might as well tidy my workstation and remove quite a fair bits ofn personal things, so that I don't have much problem later on.
Now my table looks pretty neat.. that will probably last me for another 1-2 weeks before it turns messy again. Haiz..
Anyway.. I'm really happy for the past 1 week, cos' I'm pretty pleased with my appraisal, the comments and new tasks assigned to me. I'm glad that I did a fairly good job this year as an ESC .. I will definitely continue to work hard for the upcoming year..
Went back to OMB on Wednesday for a small group discussion on our current online database. I was quite early, so went to disturb a couple of my WDA colleagues. I was really surprised that my WDA colleagues already knew the change, and began asking me about wat's going to happen next. I can't say much cos' nothing has been finalised yet..
After attending the discussion, I was going off to wait for my bf @ the MRT Station. JS happened to finish her Case Sharing Conference at the same timing, so we went to TCC for a quick snacks and some drinks since bf will be working a slight late.
After ordering the drinks and snacks, bf called me and said that he's on his way to meet me. Told him that I'm at TCC with JS and asked him to just come over to meet me.
We chit-chat for a while, before we decided to leave. Treat JS to this meal since I suggested coming.
BF and I went to Marina Sq for dinner @ Billy Bombers. I like the service there. The restaurant manager is really friendly! The food was good too. Most importantly, it's relatively affordable. Was supposed to shop around for x'mas presents but couldn't seem to find anything suitable and affordable. In the end, bf suggested going shopping during one of the weekends, where we wake up early and go shopping for the entire day, as many places as I want. Can really shop till I drop lor.. which's wat happened the other time.. Ha ha ha..
Anyway.. I promised my cousin that I will go and be her photographer on Saturday for her cosplay event @ Expo. Hopefully I can get everything done by 2pm to meet bf after his work since Sunday is mostly likely to visit his granny with his parents. I doubt I like being interrupted in the middle of my shopping spree to go somewhere else.
And the idea of going shopping with his parents... simply No no..
Previously, his parents tagged along when my bf told them we are going shopping. We ended up buying nothing (especially me when I actually wanted to buy clothings on that day) cos' his mum kept asking me to help her see if the clothes are suitable for her and we went into every single shop in the shopping center. In the end, his mum bought the most things.. and my bf didn't want to enter the shops with me cos' he was already irritated by his mum's naggings till he got frustrated.
Since then, I told my bf... "if next time I wanna go shopping, and your parents tag along, I will just change my mind on shopping and just tag behind your mum instead." I know it might sound pretty disrespectful, but really.. his mum can really talk and talk non-stop till the extent that you felt like stuffing your ears with wax.
I hope this weekend... I can shop in peace.. LOL
It's over!!!!!!
It's finally over!!!!!
Then again... over liao , so wat?
Ha ha ha..
I've been working until pretty late everyday.. going back around after 8pm+.. there's this Friday (just last week), I left office at 11.50PM along with Annie.. She was rushing through the appraisals which she had to correct many of my colleagues' English.. For me, I was trying to finish as much work as possible.
The most amazing thing that we did was to come back to work the next day.. at around 8-9am. It's a Saturday.. came back to do housekeeping since GM wants to check our workstations.. (-.-|||)
Since there's plans to renovate our area, I might as well tidy my workstation and remove quite a fair bits ofn personal things, so that I don't have much problem later on.
Now my table looks pretty neat.. that will probably last me for another 1-2 weeks before it turns messy again. Haiz..
Anyway.. I'm really happy for the past 1 week, cos' I'm pretty pleased with my appraisal, the comments and new tasks assigned to me. I'm glad that I did a fairly good job this year as an ESC .. I will definitely continue to work hard for the upcoming year..
Went back to OMB on Wednesday for a small group discussion on our current online database. I was quite early, so went to disturb a couple of my WDA colleagues. I was really surprised that my WDA colleagues already knew the change, and began asking me about wat's going to happen next. I can't say much cos' nothing has been finalised yet..
After attending the discussion, I was going off to wait for my bf @ the MRT Station. JS happened to finish her Case Sharing Conference at the same timing, so we went to TCC for a quick snacks and some drinks since bf will be working a slight late.
After ordering the drinks and snacks, bf called me and said that he's on his way to meet me. Told him that I'm at TCC with JS and asked him to just come over to meet me.
We chit-chat for a while, before we decided to leave. Treat JS to this meal since I suggested coming.
BF and I went to Marina Sq for dinner @ Billy Bombers. I like the service there. The restaurant manager is really friendly! The food was good too. Most importantly, it's relatively affordable. Was supposed to shop around for x'mas presents but couldn't seem to find anything suitable and affordable. In the end, bf suggested going shopping during one of the weekends, where we wake up early and go shopping for the entire day, as many places as I want. Can really shop till I drop lor.. which's wat happened the other time.. Ha ha ha..
Anyway.. I promised my cousin that I will go and be her photographer on Saturday for her cosplay event @ Expo. Hopefully I can get everything done by 2pm to meet bf after his work since Sunday is mostly likely to visit his granny with his parents. I doubt I like being interrupted in the middle of my shopping spree to go somewhere else.
And the idea of going shopping with his parents... simply No no..
Previously, his parents tagged along when my bf told them we are going shopping. We ended up buying nothing (especially me when I actually wanted to buy clothings on that day) cos' his mum kept asking me to help her see if the clothes are suitable for her and we went into every single shop in the shopping center. In the end, his mum bought the most things.. and my bf didn't want to enter the shops with me cos' he was already irritated by his mum's naggings till he got frustrated.
Since then, I told my bf... "if next time I wanna go shopping, and your parents tag along, I will just change my mind on shopping and just tag behind your mum instead." I know it might sound pretty disrespectful, but really.. his mum can really talk and talk non-stop till the extent that you felt like stuffing your ears with wax.
I hope this weekend... I can shop in peace.. LOL

A $1000 Wedding Dinner per TABLE
Yes.. $1000 per table..
Where?
Regent Hotel..
Bf's cousin got married.. and I tell you.. it's the MOST FAKE wedding i ever been to.
Ever seen a bride not glowing in happiness during her wedding night? I saw my 1st one last Saturday..
Her smile is so fake..
Everything looks like a show planned from the beginning..
If you think that the food at Regent is nice.. IT IS NOT!!!
It's over-priced.. Food tastes either too bland, too salty or simply sucks.. The only dish that's nice.. probably is the Sautee prawns with celery and cashew nuts..
Service.. is so-so only.. If you see the way the waitress cut and serve the steamed fish.. you will probably wish that they never cut and serve you in the 1st place. The fish simply crumbled.. Hardly see any big pieces around. Ha ha ha..
And.. it's also my 1st time, hearing from the waiter that they ran out of RED WINE!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAA
So.. if anyone wants to hold their wedding at Regent.. I suggest.. maybe you wanna think it over. Try Grand Corpthone- Waterfalls.. I heard it's good..
Else.. for the cheaper yet deliciously better dinner, Boon Lay Raja Restaurant $700+ per table, guaranteed good food and relatively good service.
As for me.. no dinners.. we have decided.. probably a amercian style wedding reception where everything is held outdoors.. under a giant white tent.. well..
Nothing has been planned out yet.. But.. bf's cousin already planned for him.. To get married by the end of next year, so make sure he (as well as me) saves as much as possible..
My guest list, other than relatives, will be a full list of buddies, friends and colleagues..
Dunno whether will have enough budget for that.. Ha ha :P
It's time.. to... lose the extra extra (x1000) kilos SOON!
Doctor said (went to the doctor earlier due to diarrhea and sore throat) that I'm overweight (since when I wasn't?). Just as I expected anyway.. Whichever it is, doctor said slowly take my time, at least if can reduce 5 to 10 kg(sounds impossible..somehow) for the following 6 months, should be good enough.
So... again... I'm... striving... to... struggle... against... the... temptation... of... food......... (-.-|||)

Money.. Money.. Money..
Bf was discussing with me for the past week if we should change our car next year..
Car:
- Old...
- High maintainence costs..
BUT
- Low fuel consumption = low petrol costs
- Comfy..
So... we were thinking... Should we.. or should we not?
Then.. think again.. where to get $$$ for the initial payment ar? Bf said once he's confirmed after 6 months, which is next March, he will be entitled to all the benefits and allowances etc, so more or less he will have extra money. If possible, hopefully the new car's instalment is not more than our current one, then we can save more money for rainy days..
Dream car: Mazda RX-8 or Toyota Fortuner
Practical car: Toyota Vios
Dunno what happened to me last week.. I was grumbling to my bf about us not earning a lot and thus I was wondering when we can get married. My guess was that, when I remembered how his buddy and wife are coping with marriage, I got frightened.. The wife is earning big bucks, however the buddy not working (working on his own company software, yet nothing is sold yet). Till now, they have been married for around 3-4 years liao but NO wedding dinners yet. And the wife's family are the traditional type leh.. so must have wedding dinner.
Then to add on to my grumpiness... I felt that he was not supporting me in my job; he kept on saying negative things. So I pissed off lor.. When I reached home, I din bother to give him a good-night kiss (if that happens, he knows that I'm angry with him)
Then later I smsed him and just pour out how I felt. He apologised and said that he felt so heartache everytime he sees me working until so late and that I had to pay for the car instalments during the period he was unemployed (all thanks to his good-for-nothing brother who promised to help him but in the end did not even give a single cent to help). Bf then said that he had already planned, and that he will propose next December but now he let the secret out liao.. so he has to re-plan, meaning... postponed to later date. (-.-|||)
I was like.. grinning from ear-to-ear in my heart.. WAHAHAHAHA..
I think.. when you grow older.. as age catches up.. you just wanna get hitched faster.. :P
Ok.. must save more.. SAVE SAVE SAVE.. GIMME MORE BONUS PLEASE~!!

Wedding Dinners

Their food.. almost the same..

Quick.. let me know~!!
Their food.. almost the same..
Now.. people.. suggest to me.. if I should or should not.. post the pictures of the food here?
Quick.. let me know~!!
named this entry as no title.. cos I can't think of any titles at all.
I just realised someting.. that I have been wondering how come there's no comments left in my blog (feeling that it's too boring so even friends also dun wanna comment. LOL), in actual fact.. me the kuku-blur-sotong din even go and moderate and publish them!!
Silly me hor?
Anyway.. I went to shop with my buddy on Monday. She's on leave and I was with Monday blues, so both of us decided to shop. She wanted to buy foundation, eyeliner and mascara so I brought her to Robinson @ Raffles City. She bought foundation from MAC under my recommendation (cos i found that it's really good and worth the spurge) and cheap yet good eyeliner from revlon (recommendation from Maria who recommended me) and mascara (the unstoppable from Maybelline, i tried and it's good lar somemore.. cheap)
Dun think that how come friend spent money, I can tahan not spending.. actually.. I did!
1 concealer stick from MAC and blush from Bobbi Brown. Total damage: $65 .
I bought blush from this brand Bourjoris not long ago.. but hor.. somehow.. no matter how much i put and paint my face.. it looks... like nothing on moi face!!
So.. might as well spend a little bit and buy a good brand. The makeup consultant (who was a guy) initially thought we are just look-look see-see, ask for price for fun. So he din pay much attention to us, until I ask him if he can recommend me the colour for my skin colour and maybe can try on moi face (god damned bloody oily.. LOL). Immediately put some on me.. and.. my face instantly look like a monkey ass. WAHAHAHAHA.. Anyway, bought 1 from him, and he told me that if I spend $150 in a single receipt, I will be entitled to joining the Bpbbi Brown membership which entitles us to free makeup classes etc. I was like, 'Really?'. My face literally lit up (like a pink lantern). Cos MAC doesnt have membership, so if bobbi brown have.. lagi best man.. :P
Bf came to meet us after his OT at UOB, so we ate at Cafe Cartel. Buddy's a malay (Cafe Cartel is non-halal) so she only bought Oreo Blended (anyway, she already eaten before she met up with me). She disturb bf and asks him to write down EXTRA Oreo inside the order form.
Guess what! They really put in EXTRA oreos!! U see the blended.. machiam putting 3-4 packets of oreos cookies inside..
Being the nice me.. I gave them a treat and I get a free ride from her brother to West Coast park to pick up bf's car before we headed for home. Even though, it's just barely 5 hours after work where I can relax and shop.. I enjoy every single minute of it..
I've always enjoyed my buddy's company (if not why are we buddies? Hah) and frankly I seldom have very good friends who know me well, even shopping buddies also hard to find. Maybe I too picky bah.. Ha ha ha..
Last time.. both of us, unstable income.. so cannot spurge on clothes or makeup (and my skin condition was horrible back then). Now stable income liao.. can spend a tiny weeny bit more.. so.. spend a LOT more on make up (seeing that condition has gone for the better) and.. somewat almost the same for clothings (apparently.. clothes size varies accordingly to how much I earn) SIGH!
Did i mention how i hate when this colleague of mine, VW, during lunch, mentioned about 2 of my colleagues suddenly gone all pretty and then turned to me and asked.. " HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST ON YOUR DIET?!"
F&#k ^$&^H*&&%^%HUF*(AWEYQ(*&$#*(Y P*#YPN.. *pardon the weird language*
I controlled my displeasure.. and my facial expressions as much as I can.. and simply replied, " I dunno" . In my heart I was like "what?! being fat a crime ar? you also fat wat, dumbo fat ass idiot! i never say i wanna compete with my other gal colleagues on who's the prettiest! this is not a modelling agency!"
FROM NOW ON, NEVER ASK ME TO SIT WITH HIM AGAIN!!!!!! A SUCKER WHO RUIN MY 1 HOUR OF RELAXATION.

Bad things just keep happening..
First.. my mum and my bro's personal belongings and valuables were stolen right underneath their nose during my bro's birthday chalet at East Coast Park.
Then...
Last Wednesday, I received the most shocking news I heard (after the burglary)...
My dad was admitted to hospital for heart attack..
I probably could have laff at myself for having such a weird reaction when I heard it from my mum. I even called my dad (he was in an ambulance at that time) to CONFIRM it's true..
He told me that his chest felt extremely tight and uncomfortable.. but NOT PAIN..
I took urgent half day leave to fly down to the hospital. My mind was... blank..
Heart ATTACK.. my DAD???
When I reached the A&E, the doc came to tell us that my dad had an heart attack and they were operating on him. I was like.. "WHAT?!! REALLY HEART ATTACK?"
An hour later (yes.. it's that fast apparently, cos it's just ballooning).. my dad was 'wheeled' into his ward at the high dependency ward for cardiac patients. He was awake and can talk somemore..
So the nurse told us that my dad was very lucky to have been admitted into the hospital early otherwise..
So I was at the hospital until Sunday where my dad was discharged. He's now on 1 month MC to recover. And also.. newly diagnose with diabetes.. haiz..
So we have to make a big change to our diet.. and my dad promised to quit smoking.
I'm glad that he's okay now, much to my relief.. I have a huge load off my mind..
I hope that nothing bad will come scaring me again.. :(

Another long time never update..
SJ was telling me yesterday that I haven't been blogging.. for very very long..
Ya.. I know..
Everytime wanted to blog, but by the time I got home... I'm dead tired.. and lazy to carry out my laptop and log in.
Just too lazy..
I've been working till very late.. (perhaps not very late for some).. 8pm+ for almost a couple of weeks liao. I have no idea how come all of a sudden, there's a sudden increase of work.
Or was it.. I'm not inefficient enough? I wonder..
Whichever it is.. my workdesk is messy.. totally covered with papers, files, and dunno-what's-there. Annie's and Belinda's table.. is no difference.. all 3 of our tables cannot see table top 1. Ha ha..
Anyway, I haven't been going into MSN often. Somehow, I felt that by logging on, it will slow down my productivity to get things done, cos I get friends msning me. Ha ha ha.. so might as well dun log on. :P
Perhaps becos of that, I didn't get updates from my friends on their recent happenings.
I can foresee myself drowning in work.. it's already happening..
Lucky.. my bf has already started his new work as a Project Engineer and has also been working overtime since started. So nowadays, we only meet each other during the weekends, or when he's off early from his work during weekdays.
My buddy just informed me last week that her dad was admitted into hospital due to stroke. It's the 3rd time already. I've known her since our poly days and despite being of different ethnics, she's a great pal to me. We've been through thick (gaining weight) and thin (losing minimum amount of weight) together. Ha ha ha..
So Monday, I bought some fruits and went down to SGH to visit her dad. I can also go back with bf since he happened to be working there. After visiting, I met up with bf. He told me that he's going to his colleague's funeral.
His colleague who came in at the same time with him in the new company was involved in an accident while travelling from 1 site to another site. His motorbike was hit by a car who was turning right (he was travelling straight). The poor guy flew almost a few metres away, landed on top of his head. Despite wearing a helmet, he suffered serious head injuries. Went into coma, inflammation of the brain.. and he was announced brain dead on Wednesday.
The guy.. is only 33 years old and is planning to register next year with his gf.
Life.. is so unpredictable..

I gave away my first time..
Being an EMCEE lar.. wah piang eh.. what you guys thinking?
Emcee.. for our CDC's JOB FAIR!!!
My first time.. I've never done before.. and I'm telling you, I was SHIVERING at the START!
If there's any one standing beside me at that point in time, he/ she can see my mike was shaking.. I'm not sure if my voice trembled.. I was BERI NERVOUS AR!
Anyway.. I stood on my feet almost the whole day.. Got chair to sit lar, behind the stage, but hor.. not nice lar.. just sit there waiting to make announcements.. So at 1 point, I went around, hoping to 'interview' the jobseekers and employers.. ha ha ha ha..
Seriously, it was really fun. The whole of our Jobs team was activated, as well as SA. Reason why we asked SA? Cos' under WS, they also do job matching mah.. so, Job fair must include them in. I know some of the SA peeps not very happy about it.
C'mon.. it's a CDC event so as to say.. We at Jobs side organised everything.. It's not easy to get employers and vacancies.. Especially to accept older workers.. so all we need is a little help from everyone. We just can't ask volunteers only to help.. There are certain things which volunteers can't explain to jobseekers. Wrong info may be given, and in the end, we get bombarded for wrong info. Jobs only have around 15 to 16 officers. We are not activating our CSEs, they are already working very hard in helping us with the admin and other miscellaneous stuffs. We should let them enjoy their weekends.
So.. each of us are assigned to do something so as not to overwork anyone. Only 1 day.. just that 1 day.. we only hope both teams can work together as a whole. That's all we wanted.. Noone realises the aftermath of the job fair.. data entry, following-up with employers, getting results.. and ultimately, revealing the results to the management. If anything goes wrong, or not done well, we get the scolding. So.. if everyone work together, the success is shared by everyone.
1 day before the job fair, we went down to the CC to do the last preparations. I was practising my emcee script. I went to help around as well.. Still thinking that I'm still 'young', I just came down from the stage at the front, not by the stairs. Then I heard 'CrAACCcK'. I think... I hurt my ankle.. BUT no pain as yet..
However...
Having standing for so long yesterday.. my ankle starts to hurt slowly. Someone.. very cleverly, assumed that my knees hurt, cos... FAT PEOPLE ALWAYS GET PAINFUL KNEES AFTER STANDING!
KNNBCCB.. WHO SAYS SO?! FU*KING BIT*H! U ALSO BLARDEE FAT WAT! FAT, OLD, SAGGY, WORST OF ALL, UGLY!!!
If you are not one of the employers (who happened to be having the least number of vacancies), I would be making sure whatever words that come out from my mouth will be imprinted into your sicken mind forever. Thank goodness, my control on my temper has been pretty good..
At least, another one of my employers is very kind to understand that we are tired from running around, standing etc for the entire day.. offered us FREE THAI MASSAGE on our shoulders, neck and legs..
AUTHENTIC THAI MASSAGE!!!! Immediate relief from my aching muscles.. even my old stiff shoulder and neck..
After the entire job fair end.. My ankle by then is already hurting very badly. I was limping by the time I got home.. My bf wondered if I sprained my ankle. I dunno whether to say.. Yes or No..
Today.. it was just as bad..
I woke up at 5.45am to get ready for my pte estate walk. Jay smsed me the previous night, reminding me to go. Bf asked me to put on his ankle guard just in case, even though I'm just doing road marshalling.
The walk ended around 8.45 or so.. Bf fetched me, and we went to Bukit Gombak to eat our breakfast. The coffeeshop where my parents used to have a stall there. We used to sell nonya laksa (which my mum learned from my aunt, who's a nonya) and Lor mee. Business was good, my brother and I had to help them during weekends. I've always felt that noone can ever beat my mum's laksa and lor mee. They are like what your mum will cook at home. That home-made taste.. and the delicious sambal chilli. You can never believe how people can actually eat hot spicy laksa early in the morning..
Somehow, due to some reasons, my parents decided to wind up the business.
I missed those days..
Ah well.. My only wish now.. is that my ankle can stop hurting so badly..
A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELP IN THE JOB FAIR YESTERDAY.. WITHOUT EVERYONE'S EFFORT, IT WON'T BE A SUCCESS!
I hope that one day both SA and Job teams can be working together hand-in-hand, where colleagues are friends who will go out together, have fun, go karoke, makan..
Bf will be away on reservist for 2 weeks , starting tomorrow.. :(
He hugged me to sleep last night, since my ankle was hurting and I can't really sleep well. Also since he might or might not be able to come home during the weekend.
Really happy when I know that he was offered an employment with one of Singapore's largest company in cabling. I was laffing as much, when they are offering him a position as Project Engineer when he knows little about laying network cabling. Good thing is that training is provided and he can actually learn on the job. 1st 3 months he has to get down and dirty by learning how to lay network cables, next 3 months will be in office, doing more of paperwork. After this 6 months, he will be out on his own, managing small projects for a start.
Salary-wise.. not really fantastic.. BUT they offer hp subsidies, carpark claims etc.. and transport allowances when he starts managing projects. No ot pay, but good bonuses.
However, bf told me that in this job, he will be doing a lot of ot, overnights, or even go overseas so asked me to be prepared. I remembered what his cousin's friend told us when he first intro the company's profile to my bf the other time.
I was more or less, prepared. I will be probably spending my time at work also. I was very much motivated when my boss told me that I've got potential to excel in this job, and asked me to continue working hard. I hope I will not disappoint her.
Somehow or rather.. I was worrying about something.. Something which I never think of.. Bf going overseas.. for a couple of weeks to months?
Hmm.. Missing him is 1 thing.. will he.. find another girl there? I
know I can rely on his faithfulness.. he has never failed me before, never flirt with other girls and such.. except being too friendly. Ha ha ha..
I've know someone, a married man, loves his wife and kids, had a good career, earning big bucks, a good family man, I must say. However, he was having an affair.. I'm not sure if he visit prostitutes when he's overseas working.. Wife doesn't know.. It's a blessing that she doesn't..
From my mouth, I've always say to my bf that if he ever do anything unfaithful, he better don't let me know.. cos..
I will either, break down, and never recover from knowing the heart-broken truth (turn lesbian maybe?)
OR
commit suicide.
But... in my mind, he better don't do anything of such.
I may live to be a strong girl on the outside, but deep down, I'm just as fragile. I already cried for 1 whole night a couple of years ago, when my bf was showing too much concern over my ex-colleague (back when I was working part-time, the poor girl came alone to Singapore and was studying and working). Bf was of cos, quite surprised over my sudden jealousy, especially when he knew that I wasn't the type who get jealous easily. I told him, I didn't want to show it, I didn't want to let him know. But... sorry lar.. jealousy overflowed.
I surprised myself as well. Ha ha. :P
Anyway, bf assured me that, his heart and mind is big enough to fit a pig(and that's me of cos).
Awww.. where to find such piggy love? WAHAHAHAHAA~
Emcee.. for our CDC's JOB FAIR!!!
My first time.. I've never done before.. and I'm telling you, I was SHIVERING at the START!
If there's any one standing beside me at that point in time, he/ she can see my mike was shaking.. I'm not sure if my voice trembled.. I was BERI NERVOUS AR!
Anyway.. I stood on my feet almost the whole day.. Got chair to sit lar, behind the stage, but hor.. not nice lar.. just sit there waiting to make announcements.. So at 1 point, I went around, hoping to 'interview' the jobseekers and employers.. ha ha ha ha..
Seriously, it was really fun. The whole of our Jobs team was activated, as well as SA. Reason why we asked SA? Cos' under WS, they also do job matching mah.. so, Job fair must include them in. I know some of the SA peeps not very happy about it.
C'mon.. it's a CDC event so as to say.. We at Jobs side organised everything.. It's not easy to get employers and vacancies.. Especially to accept older workers.. so all we need is a little help from everyone. We just can't ask volunteers only to help.. There are certain things which volunteers can't explain to jobseekers. Wrong info may be given, and in the end, we get bombarded for wrong info. Jobs only have around 15 to 16 officers. We are not activating our CSEs, they are already working very hard in helping us with the admin and other miscellaneous stuffs. We should let them enjoy their weekends.
So.. each of us are assigned to do something so as not to overwork anyone. Only 1 day.. just that 1 day.. we only hope both teams can work together as a whole. That's all we wanted.. Noone realises the aftermath of the job fair.. data entry, following-up with employers, getting results.. and ultimately, revealing the results to the management. If anything goes wrong, or not done well, we get the scolding. So.. if everyone work together, the success is shared by everyone.
1 day before the job fair, we went down to the CC to do the last preparations. I was practising my emcee script. I went to help around as well.. Still thinking that I'm still 'young', I just came down from the stage at the front, not by the stairs. Then I heard 'CrAACCcK'. I think... I hurt my ankle.. BUT no pain as yet..
However...
Having standing for so long yesterday.. my ankle starts to hurt slowly. Someone.. very cleverly, assumed that my knees hurt, cos... FAT PEOPLE ALWAYS GET PAINFUL KNEES AFTER STANDING!
KNNBCCB.. WHO SAYS SO?! FU*KING BIT*H! U ALSO BLARDEE FAT WAT! FAT, OLD, SAGGY, WORST OF ALL, UGLY!!!
If you are not one of the employers (who happened to be having the least number of vacancies), I would be making sure whatever words that come out from my mouth will be imprinted into your sicken mind forever. Thank goodness, my control on my temper has been pretty good..
At least, another one of my employers is very kind to understand that we are tired from running around, standing etc for the entire day.. offered us FREE THAI MASSAGE on our shoulders, neck and legs..
AUTHENTIC THAI MASSAGE!!!! Immediate relief from my aching muscles.. even my old stiff shoulder and neck..
