Wide awake at 2am

2009-08-25T02:24:00.002+08:00

Still unable to adjust my body clock to sleep before 12am.
I am so bored I'm uploading random pictures on Facebook.
Look out for your face!

Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings.

Soren Kierkegaard

What a colour is

2009-08-16T13:24:00.002+08:00

Colours were not inherent in objects, but rather manifestations of how they affected light. As the sun shines on the world, it is not bringing out the red in an apple, the green in a leaf. The apple and the leaf are bringing the colours out of the sunlight. (The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments, Chap. 3: Isaac Newton - What a Colour Is)

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR COUSIN: HUI YEE!!!

just what's wrong with blogger?

YES I WILL!

School's in.

2009-08-05T00:47:00.002+08:00

It's only 2 days of school and I'm worrying about forming a project group already.

WORRRRRRIES!

Lectures with the RMIT lecturer was ok, as usual, occasionally my mind wanders to LaLa Land.
Printing in SIM really sucks. Limited computer labs with slow and lousy printers.

I MISS TP!

TP is so near yet so far

TPppp!

14 more hours to SCHOOOOOOL!

2009-08-03T00:27:00.002+08:00

I worked and rested for more than a year and here I am going back to school.
It feels as though I was on a 1 month holiday and I'm returning to school after my school holidays.
From Kindergarten to Primary School to Secondary School to Polytechnic to UNIVERSITY!!!
I wonder what the university has for me this time.

I wonder....

The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized - and never knowing
David Viscott

Dusk, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering to be always together, yet forever apart?

School commences next Monday.
It's gonna be a brain-draining week cos there's lectures from Monday to Saturday.
Luckily it's only for the 1st week or I'd die!

Gonna go for a hairCUTCUT CUT CUT CCCCCCUTLET... with Joan, Monica and Huimin later. hurhurhur i came up with this crazy idea to get the girls together for a haircut. It's been many months since I'd gone for a haircut. Let's see what I get later.

Joan, Monica and I went cycling @ East Coast Park on an extremely sunny yesterday. We cycled and sat down under the shade, embracing the sea breeze and watched some windsurfers and kitesurfers. I wanna go windsurfing! and Kitesurfing if i got the chance.

It's gonna be hard. But I wanna try. Do it while I can.

People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt;

as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear;

as young as your hope as old as your despair.

In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber.

So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young.

When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old.

And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.

Douglas MacArthur

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

2009-06-28T21:52:00.004+08:00

Just caught the movie today and I found it rather nice for a sci-fi movie. I wonder why the papers rated the movie as bad as 1 star. Bumble Bee is still as cute and Optimus Prime is still as coooool. He's even cooler after his resurrection.

Optimus Prime is my hero!

anyways, i just got my SIM offer letter for my Bachelor of Business (Marketing) (Full-time) awarded by RMIT. (gosh do i have to repeat everything?)

CRAP/. they're offering me Entry Level 2 (non-business related diploma) instead of Entry Level 3 (business related diploma)?

Is Law and Management not considered as a business related diploma? What has school taught me? CRAP/.

i've shot an email to SIM to appeal. (that's what singaporeans are good at. i'm proud to be a singaporean! ooh what's happening to me? i've become so singaporean...) hope they will review it carefully.

anyways, just went swimming in TP on a Sunday afternoon. total relaxation, total serenity and total exercise. i've always loved swimming in TP swimming pool esp when almost the whole pool's MINE!! i needa do away my fats.

Unforgettable 21

2009-05-02T01:08:00.008+08:00

Date: 25 April 2009

A gigantic-enormous-super-great thank u.
I had a fun birthday. It was tiring but it was worth bringing it all together.

I want to thank the many people who have helped me with my party.

Joan; for running to the cinemas with me at E-hub from the chalet just to catch 17 Again. And then for playing the machines together in the Casino. We won JACKPOT!! We were so damn ecstatic for turning our $20 into $259.80! We were damn high and we bought 6 sets of 4D. HAHA!! Also, not to forget, for being my photographer for the night.

Monica Tay; for supplying the birthday banners and balloon pumps and for helping to distribute the drawing cards at the party. And not forgetting your mind with us though you were studying.

Samuel; for that darn funny conversation when we were all so sleepy already.

Samuel, Yong Ming and Chester (and many others whom I do not know); for getting the birthday present I want - bicycle.

My cousin Charlotte and Gillian; Charlotte for coming early and to help me prepare the bacons with golden mushrooms. and for getting me a PSP!!

Winsor; for coming though it's very late and after almost everyone'd left.

Joseph; for helping to collect my cake, starting the BBQ fire, BBQ-ing all night and distributing the cakes.

Parents; for the supply of beverages. HAHA!

All others; for coming to the party. Even those in UK, I know your heart was with me. HAHAHAHA!

Myself; for making my party happen.

You made it possible.

Last of all....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF!
I'M 21!

i wanna live life to the fullest.

thank u

HAPPY BIRD-AY TO SHEENA!!

Detroit Metal City

2009-04-15T09:36:00.003+08:00

Caught this Japanese movie - Detroit Metal City last night (FINALLY!!!).

Featuring "L" from Deathnote as the lead actor in this movie. He was a farm boy who dreamed to be a pop singer, however he was tricked into forming a death metal band (Detroit Metal City) and the story begins...

Trailer

The song Satsugai (murder/kill) featured in the movie.

I didn't like this song when I first listened on youtube, but by the end of the show I kinda like it...

It's a darn funny show, so please watch it if you got the chance!

Happy 21st Birthday Monica Tay!!!

2009-04-13T23:44:00.007+08:00

Choppers and Cruisers

2009-04-05T16:39:00.002+08:00

Sam asked me what I want for my birthday... Of course I said I want a bicycle... After much browsing around on the internet.... I fell deeply in love with the lovely beachcruisers and choppers..... FROM AMSTERDAM - The Chopperdome.

darn it why does it have to be in Amsterdam?
and it's bloody expensive... if there's anybody who's purchasing wholesale choppers from Amsterdam and selling them at a cheap price I'd be so elated.

I esp like the white brown and black brown combination.... awww they make my heart ache so much...

The Real You (determined by the cyberspace)

2009-03-30T21:02:00.002+08:00

I tried the personality quiz that Monica Tay Xiang Ni took. i admit that at this point of time, i'm bored. I tried asking my girlfriends out to watch Detroit Metal City, but they gotta study. Perhaps another time...

Here is the analysis:

You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. Most guys who get to know you will be attracted to you. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. Most guys find it easy to fall for a girl like you. ≡ {same as Monica}
You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend. ≡ {same as Monica}
You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm.
Your peers think of you as a fun person, but sometimes you can be a little irresponsible. You can be somewhat childish, and can try to ignore the fact that you will one day need to really grow up and be a mature adult! Perhaps you could start reading good books; they might help you look at the world in a different light. You do want to be taken seriously, right? ≡ {same as Monica}
Your boyfriend thinks that you are a real doll but this is not a totally positive thing. Sometimes you can be a bit too sweet, and come across as being helpless. If you're like this too frequently, your boyfriend and other people are likely to get tired of you having to rely on them all the time. ≡ {i don't think i'm a doll... am I? Joseph! Answer me!}

Look what happened to my home today!

2009-03-26T22:56:00.003+08:00

I was about to return home from work and I saw a missed call from mommy. So I returned the call and got to know what she saw below...

She came out of the lift and saw the words on the wall:

and she thought: "the loan sharks are here to splash paint again."

Then she walked to our door and saw this:

Hello! my unit number is 296 not 290! wth?!

Of course my mommy called the police.

My unit number ends with 296 and not 290.

She had tried dialing the number on the wall, of course the person wouldn't use that number.

Look at the words & you'll know that the loan sharks had the intention to splash the paint on the 290's neighbour to make us chase after their money borrower staying at 290.

But let me tell you, the current 290 family is their victim too! Cause the person who owes the money had sold the flat to them. And before this family moved in, the loan sharks had came several times to splash paint on their door already.

Now they've moved their target to the neighbours. How innocent we are. I wonder what will happen in future. It's too dangerous living here.

We see these on tv, now it's happened to us!

six hundred and first post

2009-03-18T23:26:00.002+08:00

let me dedicate this post to my darling.
A big THANK U!
For meeting me for dinner even though you're sick.
I feel so bad...

btw i've changed my song to

"...imagine all the girls ah ah ah ahhh ah ah ah ahhh
and the boys ah ah ah ahhh ah ah ah ahhh...
... and the strings eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
and the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.."

the chorus is very addictive.

and i still refuse to tell my darling the camera model and price XP
he'll find out once he sees it some day.

p.s. everyone, please do not mention anything to him even if he prompts or threatens to beat u up if u do not say which i believe he won't :S

i've been....

2009-02-25T16:12:00.003+08:00

sick for 2 weeks, despite the fact that i've been on 2 days' MC + 1 day leave + 2 days of weekends the week before, which gave me a total of 5 days' rest. I'm still sick and MC once again for today and tomorrow.
Today's the 3rd time i've consulted a doctor. and i'm still having a fever, now accompanied with flu and cough.
i've never been sick for such a long period of time.

god damn fever.
god damn flu.
god damn cough.
god damn workload.

i wanna be fine again so i can enjoy my cheese and chocolate fondue feast this friday which i had missed on valentine's day.
i don't wanna miss it again.

oh! and i just heard from my dad that he and my mommy and other relatives will be away in China for 5 days from 16 March..
Which means, 5 weekdays of freedom, which practically i can't do much cos i'll be working too.
i don't wanna go there again cos there's not much i can do there, they don't really go around on tour or anything, but u noe, go visiting/shopping in my uncle's departmental stores, and perhaps visit the China relatives.
u know they serve tea whenever u visit their house.
it's so different from here, where we serve plain water, canned drinks or packet drinks.

ok enough talking.
i feel so bloated from eating my medicines (i drank a whole bottle of plain water cos i couldn't swallow the pills.)
i shall catch my she diao ying xiong zhuan on tudou soon.

p.s. sheena, i finally finished the Life of Pi book which u borrowed me more than a year ago. yeah i know, finally...

i keep telling myself:

2009-02-18T00:18:00.000+08:00

SHIYING PASSED HER PRACTICAL DRIVING TEST FOR CLASS 3 LICENSE!

2009-01-15T19:57:00.005+08:00

muahahhahaha
all the stress and worries are over!

i must thank a lot of people.

Mainly my mommy (who sponsored my all driving lessons and tests), Monica Tay (who went through the tests with me, introducing her driving instructor uncle and also for praying for me), Monica Tay's uncle (for teaching), Guanyin ma (who bo pi-ed me to pass in 1 try), Jo (who gave me some tips as and when he drove me around, and borrowed me his test paper), my brother (who went to Temple to pray [for himself] and got me an amulet at the same time), my dad (who also gave some tips), Chun Gui (who shared my anxiety for the test as he's taking his this Saturday! May he pass too!) and the invigilator (who looks so fierce like the Ah Nam, and speaks so fiercely, but is so kind to let me pass).

And for those who gave me the well wishes and such, thank you.

I passed!

phew.

driving test in 2.5 hours' time

2009-01-15T12:09:00.003+08:00

the weather seems very fine now, i hope it remains the same.
and i pray that i do not strike the kerb in crank course,
move off from the slope smoothly.
all else good and well.
and i pray that i pass the test today.

Guanyinma bo pi I pass today!

hahaha

if you're wondering why i haven't been asking my friends and cousins out recently...

2009-01-13T22:32:00.002+08:00

it's because I'm so stressed at work and I'm doing the fucking OT and learning my driving lessons preparing for the big driving test this thursday which i hope that i do not fail otherwise i would have to spend more money on lessons and booking the test and it is a total waste of time and I've been looking around the website at what and where I should further studies and figured that if I were to go UK to study law the school fee is estimated-ly similar to studying in Singapore (the one which I'm looking at) but then I figured that my interest does not lie in law, and Jo's birthday's approaching and I just simply hope that i pass my driving test and Vickie's flying off soon and I'm looking forward to seeing Vickie Wine and Sheena again.

2008
A huge change in my life. Mainly...
Graduation from TP,
Friends going overseas to study,
Friends going to local university,
Guy friends are on their journey to become MEN, learning to protect the nation,
Getting from single to attached,
Got the taste of getting sacked,
Me getting a full time job in the government sector,
Getting the taste of getting bonus and working in a big office.
Learn driving.

My 2008 resolution was to "Define my life!"

And so, I've somewhat decided what I want to study.
So I guess I have done what I should have done. Now I know that I don't see myself in the legal sector in the future. I want to try something new. I will try my best to find ways to fulfill my decision.

2009
This year, there are more things to fulfil...
My new year resolution:

Pass my practical driving test in 1 attempt.
Try my best to be able to do what I want.
Be a good girlfriend.
Be a good friend.
Finish 4 x 10 Din Tai Fung xiao long bao with Jo.
Save $10k if possible.

Life is like a boat...

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

I did OT today for the first time...

2008-12-29T22:54:00.000+08:00

Miracle.

I really miss-ted ya all!

2008-12-28T00:22:00.005+08:00

To prove my love for u....

I love the birthday present which u gave me.
I know you've put in a lot of effort for my present, as well as Joan's.
When you see our ecstatic expressions while we're looking through the pages, I'm sure you can see how happy we are and how excited we are at looking how we were like and what stupid and nice stuff we had done together.

Especially when the present's so belated, I know you've spent a lot of time doing it.
It serves a huge purpose of reminding myself of the times we had together.
I will never forget them.
Not ever.
Unless I have a brain concussion or I get senile.

Thank you :)

Bolt + Dinner and Dance

2008-12-07T17:49:00.005+08:00

Went early early to Astons at Katong for lunch. Somehow Jo doesn't like to go out this early and he always grumble about being out so early and will only list out all the cons of it.

On our way to Cineleisure for movie. Camwhoring moments while Jo was driving. Cos i dressed up for Dinner and Dance hehe

Wanted to catch Madagascar 2 but ended up catching the new Disney animation Bolt instead.
Bolt is the main character, the cute white dog.
It's DAMN NICE!
please watch :D

Movie trailer:

Then it was Dinner and Dance at Shangri La Hotel which is located at an ulu place near Orchard Road. Free photoshoot and caricature. I didn't manage to get a caricature though, due to the long waiting queue :(
But I managed to get my photoshoot! hurhur

The DND was very entertaining, with dance competitions from ppl of CPFB, table games and a very entertaining ANG MOH emcee, who is very talentedly funny and multi-linguistic. She even sang Hokkien and Malay song! She spoke in hokkien too and made a racist joke. hurhur. I think she's earning big bucks in Singapore. No one else can be as entertaining as her.

Somehow, due to the first table game I became the table leader. Then there was this table game where "YMCA" song will be played at random times throughout the event and if the whole table stands up to do the YMCA dance, the table will get a winning ticket. By the end of the DND, the table with the most winning tickets wins. Imagine eating halfway and the whole table has to jump up to dance the dance. haha! Then there was treasure hunt, which my table didn't win either... My table only had 2 winning tickets at the end. hurhur

What matters is that everyone has fun :)

why am I blogging now? cos Jo's having guard duty right now and I'm damn free rotting at home... hahaha

I doubt any Malays read my blog, so...........
Selamat Hari Raya to my Chinese friends, cos it's a holiday!! :D

YOUR BIRTHDAY is a reminder of the nearness of Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year, and MY BIRTHDAY.
So, YOUR BIRTHDAY serves a purpose :)
Although we are unable to celebrate YOUR BITCHDAY on your actual BITCHDAY, but it's a chance for you to spend your BITCHDAY with your lovely boyfriend :D

ENJOY!

p.s. somehow my fingers couldn't control themselves and went to the respective keys and typed BITCHDAY... hmm...

CPF Ambassador Seminar

2008-11-04T20:10:00.004+08:00

Morning @ work,
Afternoon @ CPF Ambassador Seminar.

I slept halfway through the 1st speech.
Then comes the 2nd one. zzz

It's not all boring stuff, there are entertaining stuff too!
Like Panda mascot dancing and acting on stage and fake Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin and Napolean...
The CPF ppl were quite sporty to practise to act and entertain us on stage.
But everything they did was all about informing us about CPF stuff.. zzz

The theme was Kungfu Panda, that's why the appearance of the Panda mascot.

Even the emcees dressed up in those kungfu atttire...
An eye opener for me...
After almost every CPF event, there'll definitely be refreshments. I guess that's what many were happy about. hurhur!

Mojo's in field camp AGAIN D:
This time's at Tekong. The previous wasn't. LOL!
Damn I'm gonna be bored again.

It's Tuesday!
Tmr's Wednesday, got driving lesson.

In case you wonder...

2008-10-27T19:51:00.008+08:00

Why I'm home at this time now on a Public Holiday (Singapore),

How I'm doing at work,
How I'm coping with life.

Firstly, I'm home on a Public Holiday cos everybody's out.
Black gf is at Genting (with his new bf, hurhur).
Brown gf is MIA.
Parents are at Genting too.
Bf is in camp (kena extra). He's even got field camp at Tekong on Tue - Fri.
Poor thing... he's sick and I can't do anything to help... and I dono what was I thinking, I was thinking that if I were in the army too I would definitely be his replacement so that he can go home and rest. I wouldn't even mind sacrificing my holidays. HAHAHA!
Then I went on to think if the others would do the same for him/if I would do the same for others (Figure the answer yourself).

Secondly, it's VERY busy at work.
Everyday is just work and work AND WORK and I get headaches after work almost everyday.
It's worst when there're driving lessons after work. Cos it requires a lotta concentration. Full concentration for the whole day @ work, then full concentration again during driving. grrrr.
Don't worry, I just got myself a medicated oil.
My supervisor is trying hard to make me do OT, something which I really hate. The word is HATE. So I am doing my hardest to not do OT too :S

Lastly, I'm doing my very best to cope with life.
Working hard and saving up for education and future.
The next time you see me, and you see me spending, please stop me.
Missing my dear friends who're in UK. Especially Katie who's nowhere to be heard.
I try to maintain a balanced life between friends, family and bf.
Apparently I think they all are not free. HAHA
So here I am talking to myself and watching movie at home. I just caught The Notebook on my notebook (feat Ryan Gosling).
It was a pretty movie.
And then I thought of the poor boy in camp again.
Poor thing. He's working very hard too.

Anyway, Winsor and I volunteered for an event for the children at the Singapore Flyer.
Was at the registration counter, which reminds me of FO in TP with Katie and KJ. HAHA!
It was in a great mess.
Anyway, we got the chance to get on the Flyer for half of the normal rate! hurhurhur.
So I accompanied Winsor to the Flyer (it was his first!) and I wanted to take it in the daytime to get a better view. The previous time was with Jo at night also. hmmmm.. So this time we thought we could catch some fireworks at the event so we took it at night (again for me), but I guess we were expecting too much.
You know their fireworks was so much lesser and smaller than the ones we fired in Taiwan, yet they costed so much more!

i think there's something on the top left hand corner :S

Lappy

2008-10-22T14:02:00.002+08:00

YAY! I can finally collect my lappy today. That’s because I told them I need it urgently. Heh.

If you do not know, this is the 3rd time I’ve sent it for repairs for the same old problem (blue screen of death). This time I included a photograph of the damn blue screen. This time round the technician called me up to check the problem (cause he saw the photo which I purposely placed on the desktop) and he told me that this time round he’s changing some of the parts (finally).

I told him that there might be some problem with the Intel Graphics driver. Apparently, he told me that the one in my lappy was not the latest. Damn. So I hope this time when I get it back there wouldn’t be anymore problems.

ps. I’m blogging @ work.

2008-10-19T12:39:00.000+08:00

Sending my laptop for repairs AGAIN!

A Long Morning

2008-10-18T13:13:00.005+08:00

I was at Tampines Interchange after my Dental Review and I wanted to get some cheapo Energizers and McDonald's Apple Pie cos I was damn hungry.

As I walked towards the the Cheapo shop that sells cheapo Energizers for my headphones, there were red-white strips and notices around that wrote: "Please go -> for enquiry on Pawnshop"

Then I thot: "OH! The Pawnshop was burnt down."

Then I walked by and saw some persons writing down their names and stuff... I guess they were enquiring on the stuff which they had pawned.

Beside the Pawnshop was the Cheapo shop.

Then again, I thot "OH! The cheapo shop was burnt down too! Now I can't get my cheapo Energizers."

And Beside the Cheapo shop was McDonald's.

So I thot "OH! So McDonald's should be the culprit. Now I can't get my Apple Pie and I'm damn hungry."

Not to mention that before I arrived at Tampines Interchange, I made a detour to Parkway Parade on bus 15 by boarding the bus at the bus stop where bus 8 goes to Tampines. (If you understand what I'm saying...)

And not to mention that before I made the detour, I had 4 dental fillings at the Aeromedical Centre which costed $160.

Lastly, also not to mention that I woke damn early for the dental review.
ZZZ

So if you still have got no idea what I'm saying, let me summarise for you:

Woke up damn early on Saturday morning
Painful session of fixing dental fillings (u wouldn't understand my pain, I swear)
Detour to Parkway before looping back to Tampines
Bought Everbest shoes on sale (I thought I should start selling away my tall heels which cost me my feet)
McDonald's near CPF Building @ Tampines Interchange and neighbouring shops were burnt down.
Still hungry and failed to get batteries.

Get what I'm saying? Please do not mention it.

One Red Paper Clip

2008-10-12T10:41:00.005+08:00

A guy swopped a red paper clip on the internet and eventually he swopped himself a house! WOW i wanna try it too. Jo, u can try sth like this and aim for a bungalow. HAHA!

If you wanna try swopping your items (even if it's not a house you're aiming), there's a community that lets you do that: YouSwop
But they only allow people to join by invites. So do let me know if you wanna try, I can invite you in.

That's my brain?

2008-10-08T22:55:00.011+08:00

I have no idea what made me do what I did.

As you know, we have to tap our cards before alighting the bus.

So there was this morning, which was this morning, the usual morning rush and we had to catch our respective buses and trains to head to work. Almost everyone's doing the same.
Then appeared this blooder who was queuing behind me as we were waiting to tap our cards in order to alight the bus.
As I reached the exit and raised my wallet to tap the card, the blooder behind me, was so itchy-wicky-spider, placed his card infront my my wallet to tap his card. It was as though he could get off the bus before me.

I don't know what went through my mind.

I mumbled...... "FUCKER"

(I don't know how loud my mumble was cause I was putting music into my ears, but I was sure he could definitely hear it).

I really don't know why I did what I did.

Just to share....
S.H.E's new song

Damn, Hebe makes me wanna chop off my hair.

YSL New Love

2008-10-04T00:20:00.006+08:00

I won these at my division year end party.
(Left to right) Notepad for getting 3rd at the Telematch (I was in 5-legged race), pen for guessing the right photoshop-ed athlete, and pocket utensils (cool!) as door gift.

It's a pity that I didn't win any of the lucky draw items. There were a total of 40 lucky draw prizes and there were only like around 60-70 people around, but luck still wasn't on my side. How can I be so unlucky? Prizes ranged from the lowest of $15 NTUC voucher to Nintendo DS Lite to Sony PSP to Samsung Home Theatre System to a grand prize of Samsung Plasma TV! (The main reason why the office workers spare the 2 hours after work to attend this party)

OMFG ryt?

Anyway the party ended at around 8pm. I dashed off, thinking that I could get Coffee Bean's halfpriced Cheesecake, but Coffee Bean was closed. Damn it! Sorry Winsor I can't get halfpriced Cheesecake for u :/

Then I waited for the fucking bus to Orchard which didn't come cause the last bus is at 7+.

Ok nvm I shall skip everything. I got a YSL Golden Gloss (my new love)! Smiles smiles smiles on my face even though I was fucking sad that the bus didn't came after I waited for so long. It's ok, I've got my YSL to cheer me up. HEH!

I am feeling hungry now. I shall try to sleep early.

2008-10-02T22:54:00.004+08:00

Not as many as Winsor's post,
but still....
u know...

A LOT.

Finally, my Black gf passed me the final part of my Birthday present after 7653928 days after my birthday. But I don't mind, cause it's a handmade pressie and it's thoughtful :)

As I read those words at the back of the montage, I can't help but have my eyes slightly welled with tears. I shall keep those words just between the two of us.

Thank you, my Black gf. You'll be in my ♥ .

As you can see, we cam-whore a lot!
Anytime, Anything, Anywhere, Anyhow.
Just Do It!
It's not that hard to imagine.

Now, where's my pressie from my Brown gf - Monica Tay?

my bro and i sat in front of the tv for the whole 2 hours watching the exciting race. I don't know why but we kept laughing at the Force India-Ferrari. And we laughed at the Spanish accent of Fernando Alonso's. Alonso went from 15th to 1st place. Isn't it amazing?!

Ferrari really had a bad night at the race. Firstly, Massa (who was 1st) went into the pit to top up his fuel drove off with the fuel hose attached. HAHAHA WTF?! He went from 1st to 15th place. Then his team mate crashed into the wall in his final 4/61 laps. Another WTF?! AFter going well for 57 laps and he buang. Sad.

I love Ferrari. I really do. But I don't know why I supported McLaren Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton all the way.. and he got 3rd. :) not bad.

Can you believe it?

Affordable and quality mineral makeup.

I got a lot of samples from Everyday Minerals to try out first cause I heard a lotta good stuff about mineral makeup. (Mind you, these samples are not free! I got 2 of them for free tho cos I'm the one with the most amount of order lai!)

I must say I feel really comfortable with it cos it's so light and it feels like you're wearing ZERO makeup. :)

With mineral makeup, you definitely can't miss out the super soft and luscious Kabuki brushes.
Yeah, I fell in love with it. Too soft to resist!

Even shopping online can be for a good cause. I got the Pink Ribbon blush.

Pink Ribbon (blusher)
Is a special promotion for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All proceeds from this lovely pink blush with white shimmer goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

If you feel like trying mineral makeup, please get a Pink Ribbon too!

She's gone so fast,
too fast to be true,
until i finally came to touch the truth today,
then i really felt that she had left.

We know that it's a long 3 years,
but time is gonna pass by very fast,
faster than we can imagine,
yet the longest that we can ever have.

It's gonna be a whole new world out there,
study hard, have fun, be careful, and
take care,
my dear friend.

You'll be a better YOU.

I guess she knows how hard it was for me to leave for work halfway sending her off. Anw, I was late for work ok? just for her. haha! It's almost 12 hours to her departure, I wonder what's going on man, still no updates...

2008-09-07T09:32:00.002+08:00

I'm starting to get used to the lifeless working office life.
But I hate it when I feel so lazy to jog after work or even find the time to swim.
In case you're wondering how I'm doing at work, I'm doing fine..
I get my hands on things I've never came across before and am learning the things well.
For the past 2 weeks I've been churning tons of template-d letters and sourcing out correspondences from stacks and stacks of files.
In case you wonder what kinda department I'm in, it's the Withdrawal Schemes Department, Death team.

Yes, it's deadly!
(like real... HAHA)

Basically it's withdrawal of the CPF savings under the special ground, Death. Means when you die and you have CPF savings, and you had made a valid nomination, then we'll help you distribute them according to your nomination. But whether the nominees want to claim or not, it's another matter. (Who doesn't want money, right?)

Enough said about my job. Now you know what I do... :)

1st day @ CPF

2008-08-25T20:55:00.003+08:00

It's quite a process before I was officially working. A lot of passwords to remember. A lot of rules to comply with.

This is my first REAL Full Time job in a big office where there are many cubicles and colleagues. My first job in Tanjong Pagar, where people CHIONG to work, CHIONG to eat, chop seats in hawker centres with almost anything they have, and then CHIONG home. My first time lunching with so many colleagues. I am already used to being alone. Out of a sudden there're peoples lunch together like a bit weird.

On my 1st day of work, my buddy in the division introduced me to everyone in the department, and so I was like walking around, introducing myself to each and every one of them. Luckily I'm not those introvert. Then, I spent half the day reading the Staff Handbook which states EVERYTHING from dress code to sports and recreational claims. Now I get free entry for 4 to Zoo and Sentosa! HAHA. But needa loan card for the free entry 2 weeks in advance. So please plan ahead! :) There's even gonna be an IT E-Learning test and some courses which I have to attend some time down the road.

So far so good, the peoples seem nice. (i purposely put the letter "s" behind people).

I'm still in a world of my own. Even the journey to and fro work feels like I'm floating away...

2008-08-18T21:54:00.001+08:00

The word pathétique is often misunderstood by native English speakers due to the negative meaning of the modern pathetic. The term means "with pathos" and denotes a passionate rhetorical character intending to evoke sorrow.
