1,2,3! Smile!

While life is never always a bed of roses, we must always remember to think positively! I understand some people might find this hard, but we should never give up. As I never fail to say, it is alright to whine a bit, cry some, hibernate like a bear like you probably look like now (but dun worry, I bet you still look cute!). But after doing all these, it's then time to stand tall again! Never wallow in your despair for too long!

I can never tolerate people who gets stuck in depression for too long! But then again, people can hardly be like that when they are frequently around me hehehehe.. So, get in touch with me, and let me brighten your days with my bright smile!Smile like this!
I think you know I am talking to you through this entry! Cheers!

Sayonara Buns!

Team dinner cum Buns(aka Bensen) farewell... Sigh.. Hard to believe he is gone just like that... Regardless of the fact that you had to announce to the whole team (including Boss!!!) about 'Cute Jason' and 'Mr Incredible' Diaoz... I will miss you Bensen! But of course, we will all wish you well while you explore and conquer the greener pastures out there!

**************************************

Went golfing on sunday.. Hehe becoming more ATAS ah.. Actually no la.. It was an event held by the women's club.. Since it is free of charge, why not?! And I turn out to quite like the sport! Not that easy.. The kuku scenes on TV where the first timers cannot hit the balls is real! Haha happened to me quite a few times! Would want to pick up the sport, but I guess not now, since I will starting my tennis lessons on this wed! Pretty busy nowadays... Staying in office til later too... So maybe after mastering my tennis and getting my driving lessons! Of course, and after making better use of my unlimited yoga classes.. Phew... Bensi is planning to join, she will be a motivation to go attend more classes!

The guy who miss my butt but is smitten over another girl OOOoooo!

It is disturbing when the guy who claims to miss your 'perky butt' says it is a nightmare to dream of your butt, and at the same time, says that he is smitten over another girl. I sense a certain betrayal soon.

Liaisons dangereuses indeed! Just because I don't understand the language, doesn't mean that I am not smart enough to guess that you are having an affair far away in the little town of Clayponds Village. Tsk tsk! U are getting very very naughty!

But I still miss you nonetheless! Looking forward to you coming back! I found new karaokay kakis, but they are still not you!

肥水不流外人田嘛!

It's pretty weird when the guy you barely knows for 2hrs comes up to you and tell you, ' I'm queuing for this cos I heard that this is your fave food.' I am not saying that he is romantically inclined towards me or is trying to impress me, for I am fairly certain that was not his agenda. (PS No pun intended, but he looks somewhat mature - not my cup of tea hehe) But still, this came as a shock since I myself have never though fried oyster as my fave food, although it does really seem that I like it very much and would order it at every possible chance!

The surprising thing is that my colleague (who brought the mature guy along) was the one who told him that fried oyster is my fave food. I am suitably impressed! It feels quite good that someone actually pays attention to my likes and dislikes. But somehow I get the vibes that this colleague of mine is trying to play the matchmaker - seriously his friend doesn't suit me at all la... I just hope that no such naughty ideas are flowing through his mind!

This brings me back to me introducing Kenny to my girlfriends just this weekend. I guess my girlfriends are not so offended since they knew of my plans to do so AND good guys like Kenny are not meant to be missed! However, if Kenny ever learns of this plot of mine, I wonder if he will feel like he wants to kill me? Suddenly it dawn upon me that he might not like it.. Ooops.. But what done cannot be undone la.. And the girls have a positive impression of him!

Esther thinks that I should give Kenny some consideration too! But since he is such a staunch Christian, I really think that no point pushing, and I have also my own crush already! So hopefully, he finds a good girl, best if she is one of my gfs! 肥水不流外人田嘛!

Shipping and Marine Workshop

It's been so long since I last blogged! Absolutely busy! With work, with life and with enjoying myself!

Recently I went to the Grand Corpthorne and stayed there for 5 days, because I was on a workshop! It was totally fun! Although the days were packed with content and things to be learnt, I still love it!
Every night was a drinking night! Every night was a partying night! I was super shacked by the end of the week! Eye bags and big eye rings.. Wow... Total banged out look when I was in office on the day after my workshop! Thank goodness for my concealer!
The last night of the workshop, we had a closing dinner at the Singapore Cricket Club. Everyone was given an award of sorts for the sake of fun. I got the Oscar Award, probably because I was the one there who loves to watch drama.. But because my boss was there, I daren't go tearing, and thanking everyone for supporting me and presenting me this prestigious award haha! If I did that, I might have stayed in my position for the rest of my life? Or at least left a too dramatic impression? The last hair colour already proved to be a mistake, so better not make any more mistakes for the time being.. Hehe
This is Jason, who won the playboy award! Haha.. Not too good a reputation when your boss is around! But the awards were plucked from the air, so maybe he is a playboy. Maybe he is not! In the process of finding out.. *Cuckles.. And of course I have to borrow Xinyi's devilish horns to take this photo! Nice!

And here goes Jeremy with the dark glasses and Stacy with his red tinted glasses. Yesh.. His name is Stacy and he is a hunk! No naughty ideas ladies! He has a 17yr old daughter already! During one of the nights when I brought him out, he asked to go New Asia Bar but he is afraid of heights! Duh right! haha
Well Jason and Jeremy are the 2 pple that I hang around with the most during the workshop. Really fun loving pple, these 2 are! Nice! Too bad the rest of the pple such as Daryl Kenny Esther and Flora werent there. Otherwise, it will be a havoc haven!
Aint I looking forward to Shell Life next!? Yippee!

Alcoholic night at Arena - Nice!

This is the first time that I drank so much! People keep coming over even after I was out and resting by one 'quiet' corner and toasting me. This is nothing like the leisure drinking that I usually have with my friends!

Seeing the arrival of the proudly standing bottle of 4.5L Chivas Regal was enough to shock me. The fact that they just finished a 2L bottle of Chivas, and will finish this 4.5L bottle in less than 2hrs rendered me speechless. Shooters came and gone and we still drank! These people are already obviously drunk, but they still continued.. Do they hate their liver that much to drink like this almost at least a few times a week?

And one important fact I found out about men, they are simply 'stinko'! Using their drunken or high state as an self-imposed legitmate excuse, they try to get so close to the ladies. And they are selective even in their state - those ladies deemed too easy, they do not want. On the other hand, those more decent ladies like myself and Janice, we were the target of endless toasting and teasing. At least they were not 'too' touchy, just more flirty. Our mistake was that we were too accomodating/sporting - we took the challenge to finish our glasses of hard liquor at one go when toasted - thus resulting in the unglam hobbling around Clarke Quay to find bottled mineral water to rid the numbness in the brain. The most expensive bottled water I have ever paid for - $5, the fresh air and the ceasing of toasting made us human once more. Phew...

But I must admit, I really enjoyed myself immensely. The music was fantastic and the company spontaneous. I realised, the most important thing about going out on such nights is that it is necessary to have another girlfriend, in this case, Janice, to be with you so as to ward off each other's unwanted attention. We were so protective of each other that those guys all commented that we are like lesbians. Rest assured we are perfectly aware of our sexual orientation - Janice is married and I love men too much to consider the other gender!

To my opinion, it is alright to play and drink, as long as I know how to take care of myself and not allow people to take advantage of me. So in case Jiesi is reading this, dun worry about me ya!

Penang

Away day to Penang! I was so looking forward to this trip! Apart from the wonderful company, the trip was entirely paid for! Taking the SQ flights, having yummilicious food and drinking bottomless wine, beer and hard liquor - this is what I call L.I.V.I.N.G! Love it!

The hotel that housed the 14 of us was none other than the Golden Sand. While we would very much prefer Rasa Saya, the GS was not that bad. The beach was fantastic, with stallions galloping away on the sand - how absolutely charming!
The second dinner that we had was at Rasa Saya. They even have live performances where the band went from table to table and sang any requests! Amazing! Isn't this the scene from the romantic movie where the guy proposes to the lady?! Awwwwwwwww...

This trip was not much into shopping, since we only had that limited time to spare. However, this trip was the first that I pampered myself that much! Manicure, pedicure then finally followed by a full body oil massage!
This full body massage was a first for me. I had to strip to my undies - really quite embarrasing.. But once you got over the naked sensation, the massage was ultimately relaxing! Heard that Bali has even better and cheaper spas and massages! Well.. Hehe... Maybe next year we can have our away day there!!! Yeah!

NEVER have I ever not look as cute as the guy beside me.... Faint... Mr Jason, he looks innocent and naive acting cute.. Sigh.. Time to brush up my cuteness again!

The 2 days 2 nights trip, although short, was immensely fun! I simply LOVE holidays!

My Archilles Heel

You cannot imagine how upset and disappointed I was with myself for failing the driving test a second time.. AGAIN?! How could that be? Aren't I supposed to learn from my mistakes? I supposed I just don't learn... *stamp feet yowling 'I want my mummy!' Sigh.. Wat a kid...

Wallowing in my own despair...

Quote:
Hey Fiona, you poor girl.. Go for shopping therapy, says Janice..
Hey Fiona, let's go shopping at Paragon tonight, says Daryl..
Hey Fiona, 3rd time sure pass, says Fanny..
Hey Fiona, how many points? Don't worry, says Anna ass..
Hey Fiona, I never laugh, are you sad? says Esther..
Unquote.

Well, you bet I am sad.. Totally not in the mood for shopping. Went jogging instead.. Argh... tears brimming.. Am I never going to pass my driving? Nonetheless, thinking cationically, no one is perfect.. Maybe (or rather surely) driving is my Archilles heel.. As much as I hate facing these failures of my own doing, I am still going to continue til I get my license! To make up for my inadequacies in this area, I will pump in extra effort la..

Thank you everyone for the concern. I am fine now.. Especially after hearing from the Bensi-s! Yeah! Qinglin is coming back soon! Now, that is one highlight of this otherwise dark day!

她的故事。。。

他不是你所求,
只因他的信。
你拱手相让,
让她得到本属你的幸福。

他们走向红地毯,
谁会晓得你心中的痛。
你的强颜欢笑,
让人都猜不到你滴血的心。
你的伪装,
是你仅存的自保。

你是匹千里马,
是匹尚未遇到伯乐的千里马。
但莫愁,
因你心中的真善美正在发光。

你对朋友的义,
封死你颤抖的心。
你的无怨无悔,
叫人感动却又不禁叹傻。

成人之美是你的豁达,
暗自伤感是你的愚昧。
虽然这一天尚未到来,
你的赤子之心终究会引导你至那。

而那,便是你一辈子的幸福!
朋友啊!祝你永远快乐!

Crooning night!

It must be that the criteria to join the FuelOil Team is that you must be able to sing! It's amazing how well these people can sing! Nat can easily join the American Idol with her more than amazing voice! Or rather maybe the Barbados Idol? Hehe.. Kenny and Daryl's voice were so good that us girls who were present nearly swoon when they sang. Jeremy himself has quite a stunning voice too! In fact, all who were present can sing at least fairly well! Even myself was praised for being a good singer!! Wow... How flattering!

Prior to singing with the red table peeps and my colleagues, no one actually complimented my singing! Haha... As long as they don't put me down.. Not that I was upset or anything, since I jolly well enjoy singing and not mind that much about what the others say. Whatever they said, they din mean it with any malice anyway!

But judging from yesterday's ktv session, boys crooning well really can attract the girls! Hehe... It is really attractive when a guy you like dedicate a song for you! This was the first time that I sang with so many guys who can all sing! But it's not as if I have sang a lot with many guys at one time, since it seems quite a number of guys don't like ktv?

It was when Jeremy was singing the song <爱得正好> that I suddenly thought of Bebe! Nostalgia! Singing with him is really HIGH HIGH INTO THE SKY! Waiting for you to come back to sing together again!

女人的矛盾

当你拥有一些,你会想要得到更多…
当你一无所有,你会满足于你所拥有的…

现在的我,沉溺于家中泛滥的爱,沉溺于友人的关爱,
但我却也想要得到佳人的爱…
若每一个人都有他人生的另一半,那我的他在哪里呢?
宁缺毋滥, 这点道理我还晓得, 所以乐观的我痴痴地等!

我喜欢逞强, 不爱让别人看见我的悲伤!
我会以微笑来掩饰我的难过…
所以, 你见不着我的失落!

你对我的好,会让我产生幻觉, 只因为我是一个爱幻想的人.
所以, 若你是我喜欢的人但你却对我没有遐想, 别…
别对我那么好…
你对我的好, 是我承受不了的!

虽然如此, 但也别对我太不友善, 那我会讨厌你!
唉!真是个矛盾的女人!
女人乃红颜祸水?

经过一次深刻的创伤后, 我不会再让自己重蹈覆辙.
然而, 女人的心是非常容易感动的.
一点真心, 一点诚意 – 那是必胜秘方!

男人, 心动不如马上行动!
真命天女就在等著你的主动呢!

我的他, 你也别在拖泥带水了!
快快让我投向你的怀抱吧!
哈哈! 人生是充满希望的!

Absolute bargains!

Seems to be that I am meeting Jiesi EVERY week to do shopping! Hehe... Last week we went to Bugis, although we din buy a lot then, but we got some bargain bedsheets with comforter and an extremely fulfilling steamboat dinner!

Today, we went to Junction 8! Apart from the wonderful library which has so many books that I would love reading, there was lotsa wonderful buys!

First was the spree at the Hyun Bin's beauty place.. Hehe.. everything was going at one-for-one as long as you pay via Citibank! Charge! Jiesi, who is getting vainer by the day bought masks! I bought some body moisturiser to 'supple-lise' my skin! Tried calling Weewee whom me and Jiesi love and miss like mad, but he din pick up.. Must be busy studying for his test! Good luck! Anyway, maybe should go back to the place to get more stuff hehe... And some for Jack for X'mas...

Then, we went to OutFitter which has absolute bargains! I bought 2 tops for $30 and Jiesi bought a DRESS for $25! Woohoo! New clothes everyweek man! And bensi is going to Taipei and Egypt soon somemore! Hahaha she should really watch her budget! Well.. She complained that she doesn't want to come out with me anymore, but I think she is just jesting! She love me and shopping too much not too! Hehe

Last I bought a pair of earlings at a 30% discount! Yeah! Already looking forward to the next shopping trip!

*we miss Bebe's dance too! Wahahahha simply hilarious!

Nodame Cantabile

Nodame and Chiaki - Happily Ever After!

I love this type of romance comedy best! Really bensi show! No wonder bensi QL and Weewee love this!


As usual the main lead is cute, but he actually seems quite old. But I like... Though somehow I still prefer the Coffee Prince main lead a lot better... Awwwwwwwww....

Drive Drove Driven

Slept so much this long weekend that even my colleague and his friend was amazed by my ability to sleep.. Hehe I am quite proud of it ok! But darn! Slept so much that I told myself that I don't need so much sleep - well it was actually so that I have an excuse to catch another episode of Nodame Cantabile... Oops.. I really like this show and it reminds me a lot of the Taiwanese drama 'It started with a kiss'. NICE!

And I finally resumed driving lessons today. You know everytime I have to go for them, I feel so yucky.. But now that I have changed to Mr Tok, it is so much better. He doesn't scold me and make me feel stupid like Mr Phua. While I can understand how exasperated Mr Phua must have been at my driving 'prowess', the beating that my confidence took was stiffling. I was so baffled at how stupid an uni grad can be at such a simple task as to drive a car! Well for now, not that I have all of a sudden turned into an expert at driving, but at least there is a certain sense of exhileration felt at the speed(max still at 50 - don't you dare laugh!) that I was driving at. Hopefully I can pass this second time. If not I would have to waste more money and time and energy and effort........................... Which I am not at all inclined towards!

While it can be a pleasure to drive, my current fave is still to be driven! Hehe.. Maybe WHEN I get my license, and IF I get my car, I will learn to appreciate the ART of driving more. Right now, I am slowly culturing my ABILITY to drive so as to fully appreciate it. It seems that everytime you can do something reasonably well, only will you like it. Isn't that plain egoistic of human. Hah! But I'm glad to be human...


____________________________________________________________________

And yesh! Finally got the pics that we took at the bowling alley where I got my highest score ever! WOOHOO! Any babes/hunks that interest you pple? Hey Bensi Jiesi, take your pick, I think they are all quite rich - suit your criteria!

这个汤真的很好喝!Yummy!

I am still extremely full from my dinner with Jiesi. We went for the buffet style steamboat at Bugis. It cost us $15 for the food, but I think it will cost much much more to lose the calories that we put on during this 1 hr meal!

Today was the ultimate auntie day! Too bad Jack wasn't there, although we did invite him due to Jiesi and Wansi missing him too much! Talking about this sexually undetermined person, Wah!! Jack declared one girl that he is more scared of than anyone else. She can't even hold his supple hand for a min! I wondered what she did to him? Hehe... Must be super enjoyable on her part.. But she seem like a nice ger.. Maybe Jack is more into Stephen-types recently... Can you pls make up ur mind?! Tsk tsk..

Well, today I finally bought my laptop bag... Looking professional OKAY! hehe... Don't think the auntie Lam in office can criticise my laptop bag anymore hehehe... Hope he is feeling better... Poor guy.. Those pple who give the chirpy outlook are usually the ones who hurt the most..

THEN. Me and Jiesi (Wansi had to rush off to her violin class in her dressy attire, we wonder if her instructor is darn hot? Maybe like the mainlead in Nodame Cantabile.. hehehe.. *Super nice show!!!) went to OG (where we see more aunties than people our age) and bought good bargain bedsheets that came along with comforter! Hahaha.. We were lugging the big parcels around with us as we tried to get to the steamboat place! It was really quite a hassle and a hazzard to carry such a big bag around. Some ah beng on the bus even forbid his friend to sit on the seat next to me, so that I can put my bags on it. Being the nice and considerate person that I am, I naturally rejected and struggled with my bags until I finally reached home.

Yeah.. Home...

*P/S: Will put up the bowling pictures as soon as I can.. hehe the one that I went with my colleagues and I was the top scorer among them (136). Not that high but enough for them to call me 'National bowler' Hehehe... Definitely better than Jack who rolls his balls backwards.. Wahahahahaha

Somewhere.... Over the rainbow.........

Watch this! If this doesn't touch your heart, I don't know what will! She's an amazing 6 yr old singer!
http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/647208/amazing_six_year_old_singer.swf

I am on clouds nine, just like the little girl who won the praise from Simon! My paper ( or rather Caili's paper with my name) has finally been published in Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry! Yippee! Hehehehe... What is a scientist if she hasn't publish any papers? (*cocky grins)

Suzie Wong

The other day, I was told by Bebe that I looked like a certain Suzie Wong. Well, seriously at that point of time, I don't know if that was good or bad. Now that I have googled it, I still don't know if it is good or bad. Hmmmm... But coming from Bebe, I think it SHOULD be meant as a compliment la? Haha...Apparently Suzie Wong is a character(a prostitute, played by Nancy Kwan) in the book/film 'The World of Suzie Wong' which was adapted into a hit film.
The book is about a young Englishman, Robert Lomax, who has just decided to pursue a new career as an artist. He visits Hong Kong in search of inspiration for his paintings where he checks into the Nam Kok Hotel, not realising, at first, that it is an unofficial brothel catering mainly to British and American sailors. However, the discovery of that fact only makes the hotel more charming in Lomax's opinion and a better source of subject matter for his paintings. He quickly befriends most of the hotel's bargirls but is most fascinated by the archetypal "hooker with a heart of gold", Suzie Wong, who had previously introduced herself to him as Wong Mee-ling, a rich virgin whose father had five houses and more cars than she could count, and initially pretended not to recognise him at the hotel. Lomax had originally decided that he would not sleep with any of the bargirls at the hotel because he would be living with them for a long time and did not want to put a strain on their relationships. However, it soon emerges that Suzie Wong is interested in him, not as a customer but as a serious boyfriend. Although Suzie Wong becomes the kept woman of two other men and Robert Lomax becomes attracted to a young female British nurse, Lomax and Wong are eventually reunited and the novel ends happily.

According to Bebe, it was some top that I wore that reminded him of her cheong sum. I think the top that I wore was a black top that had a turtleneck-like collar and showed off my sexy shoulders hahahahaha... At least some people thought so hehehe...

Wah! It's wagyu!

It was the best steak I have ever had in my 23 yrs of existence!!! The Wagyu sirloin steak at Angus Steakhouse was simply amazing! It was not too fatty, but it was so tender that just made me want to beg for more!

According to Wiki, Wagyu refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. Also known as Kobe-style beef, the meat from Wagyu cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness, and thus a high market value. Grocery stores in the United States will sell cuts of American Wagyu for $40/lb to $150/lb (€64/kg to €240/kg). Because of the Wagyu cattle's genetic predisposition and special diet including beer and sake,wagyu yields a beef that contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids than typical beef. The increased marbling also improves the ratio of monounsaturated fats to saturated fats. There are four major breeds of Wagyu (wa means Japanese, and gyū means cattle, or simply "Japanese cow"): Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese Polled, and Japanese Shorthorn. Japanese breed names include: Tajima, Tottori, Shimane, Kochi and Kumamoto.

While I don't know what breed I had, it doesn't matter, as long as it was delicious... Yummy... Oh man, I finally have tried the taste of a full Wagyu steak! Yeah!

Hunk? vs Dale

Once I start talking about hunks, I suddenly thought of this other hunk who gave me this notebook... Haha So of course I must record the book that he gave me.. But I really like this notebook.. And it is so sweet of him to buy it for me... If I am not wrong, he probably bought this because of the cover lady haha.. Actually there was once upon a time when I spot this hairstyle. And he already knew me then.. But then again, it could simply be just that he thinks the book looks nice? You can never guess accurately what this guy is thinking.. Although most of the time, it is either just bums or butt hahaha, which are of course the same thing!

Now this is Dale (according to one tall dark guy, who just knows it to be Dale and not Chip). Cute rite? Looks exactly like Dr Huang! But goodness, quite some people say that my current crush looks like it! I must have missed Dr Huang more than I ever admitted! Hahaha.. But indeed, I missed the times at the red tables, and of course the times trying to hardworking in front of Dr Huang too!


Tall, dark, manly AND handsome!

I think I am someone with lotsa love to give. Hehe.. I say that because every time I finish watching a drama series, I will fall irrevocably in love with the main lead. And this NEVER fails! My current love is Gong Yoo! Goodness... He is so manly with a tinge of boyishness meant to make me swoon... He is tall, dark, manly AND HANDSOME! Awwwww......

Yummy! Don't you think him really cute?!! After watching him play the sweetly loving man who disregards what others think of him loving another man(who is actually a female), I just couldn't get enough of him! So, I began watching 'Hello my teacher' but due to time constraint, I haven't been able to finish the drama yet. Nevermind, patience! One Fine Day(in which he acted too haha), I will finish it!

Awww... will my future soulmate be anything like him or the character he plays in Coffee Prince? Kekekeke

The worth of a $20 note

I just read from my bro's blog that $20 still has its $20 dollars value even if it is creased, crumpled or dirty. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special Don't EVER forget it. Wow... My bro has grown up to be so philosophical... Ooops.. Until I read 'If you do not pass this on, you may never know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.' Chey - it must be a chain mail... Then again, it strike a chord, we are indeed priceless to the people who do love us!

Got a piece of good news today officially - I can add a bit more to my shopping budget! Hehe...

Somehow, I just feel the need to reiterate a point to my loved ones - THANK YOU! and thank you for loving me too! even if it's just my butt hahaha

P/S: Yes I know I am super hot Bebe, so hot that my fever persisted for more than a week! Haha but I am well and ok now. Catch ya all soon! Missya loves!

Life's a bitch but nv say die?

My eyes are super dry, my entire body feels feverish. I am sick, and has been for quite a while. I am going to miss the Sentosa hotel stay with the girls tomorrow. I feel disappointed. Not only about missing it, but also because the girls does not at all seem concerned about me being sick for almost a week, say for only CC. She said she would miss me and hoped that I can make it in the evening after resting the day away. Maybe because I am sick, thus explaining me being an emotional wreck, but I am really quite upset! Reading the emails that came nonstop during working hours about the exciting activities they were going to do without even asking about my illness(granted, apart from CC, HL was another concerned one) was some blow.

No one's working life is a bed of roses. I'm sure many of us would agree. Poor CC def will agree. So do I. When I get scolded, when I get blamed for all the mistakes that was not my faults, you don't know. You only hear the good side cos wats the point of sharing all the bads with you all when you are all already complaining about your bosses? Just continue to make the ambience one of more agitation and frustration. Perhaps I am asking too much for you to ask when I myself din say a single word. Luckily I have my family. Luckily I have CC. Luckily I still have the red table frens who at least will say 'Yes I know you are sickening but take care of yourself.' Luckily I still have Jiesi who will sms me everytime you-know-who does something to her that she think will make me jealous. Luckily. I guess maybe I am making a big fuss out of nothing and they will assure me that yes of course we will be there for you! That, I do not disagree, but it is the taking the initiative part that is eating me.

If you have seen my upset or tired face, and/or that I need to eat a lot or reward myself with good food to vent my frustration, I thank you for being there.

Not that I am really blaming anyone. It is part and parcel of growing up. I am only bitching about life. Tomorrow will be a better day!

Durian in a diff light!

Being in this industry really allows me to open my eyes BIG and go 'WOW!' I was at this cocktail party for free lunch, which was not that satisfying, but that's beside the point. I was gobbling down my food, when some sleazy music was cued. Four hot babes clad in skimpy bikini slided onto the dance floor and started to shake with all their might! My eyes just popped open involuntarily, and my first thought was that Su and Bebe will love them! And that Jiesi will just give that look, with her lips pursed and her eyes rolling everywhere at Su and Bebe's reactions hahaha...

Another dance by the girls again. This time, they changed their costumes. I asked my team lead a question after I saw them. 'Hey, do you like durians?' He (a goody-two-shoes) replied innocently that yeps, durian is among his fave fruits. So I cheekily asked him to turn around to look at the girls. His response almost made me roll on the floor with mad laughter! He suddenly stood up and shouted with glee, raising his hands in a signal of triumph, 'THAT'S WHY I AM IN THIS INDUSTRY!' It might not sound funny to you, but if you have known this guy, who seems so decent, this is hilarious to me! And, one dancer was in a durian(with thorns) bikini! Wahahaha

Well, I guess it just proves Su/Be's point to be right - there are no guys in this world who are not horny. It's merely a matter of whether they show it or not. Haha, to my team lead - now I know you are!

Standing up tall

No matter where, no matter when, I always tot that my blog title is the best! Life is full of negativities, if only you allow them to! Negativities always try to seep through every single pore of our being, if we are not careful. Ultimately, DO NOT let them succeed!

Some people applaud me for my optimism. Disclaimer: I do wallow in my sorrows... Quite often I must say. But after cussing myself for being stupid/ignorant/silly, I generally stand up tall again. I mean, life is definitely not a bed of roses at all times. And even at times it is not, just dun make it into a pile of s.h.i.t. Even if it really feels that way.

Seems that bestie CC is taking things in stride, and I am real happy for her! She is such a wonderful lady and that worthless guy is such a wimp/jerk and just plain unlucky to have lost her.

Cheer up Bebe! Dun drown yourself in beer, it's really ex! I know we are totally missable, but we will wait for u!

Fifi - cheer up too! Tomorrow is going to be a better day!

Green to Red Hot

I was told I have the green look. I was called Princess Fiona.
Putting 2 and 2 together, it would seem that I am an ogre. But luckily, I am not that ugly - at least I think so =p As much as I love green -I eat all greens and I have so much green in my life - being told I have the green look was a smash to my ego, when I have strive so hard to look polished and 'jaded'(or experienced if you like). Not that the person who said it meant it with malicious intent; it was just a conversation that managed to salvage my ego with a 'fresh look la' at the end.
Of course the night did not end with green. In fact the Friday night was a RED HOT (red is another of my fave colour, apart from green) excitement to many office ladies who were at Gotham Penthouse, most of which were armed with small change eagerly awaiting for any opportunities to slot them down the thongs of the gorgeous hunks with bodies and dance moves meant to kill. Bouncy bouncy smack smack is really their objectives with their butts! Before the eye opening show, my colleague and I was discussing about the actual possibility that these guys will appear in their thongs only - we reason the difficulty to fit all gear into the tiny piece of cloth? As reality would have it, they managed to what we perceived as near impossible. I guess we were just too ignorant. Haha... As much fun as I had last night- it was not as wild as I have expected. All the ladies I went with agreed. The conclusion? Time for some holiday elsewhere for more eye-popping action!

Witch Yoo Hee - my inspiration of my new hairstyle

Witch Yoo Hee is really quite a nice kdrama. Indeed, every woman needs her superman - one man who will be there to support you always in your times of need. Well, although I have no superman, I guess my superfamily and my superfriends are enough *winks ;)

I just cut my hair a couple of days ago, and I guess I surprised quite some people. The thought to cut my hair was there, but it was the hairstyle that Yoo Hee spotted that made me act upon my thought!

Well, besides the witch who gave me the inspiration, I also enjoy the look of surprise that I give pple when I cut my hair unexpectedly - it makes me feel adventurous hehe.. Ever since I entered uni, I think I have become more explorative about my hairstyle (at least I like to think that way). Well, I am already looking forward to my next change in hairstyle!

Treetop Walk - shackening

Treetop walk - who else but the sporty Liangliang who will make this kind of suggestion for the 11km hike... Like what Wansi said, as much as it was shackening, it was fun and worth all the eccentricities of the chemistry guys. Hahaha...

We were supposed to meet at the destined Macritchie bus stop at 9am. But being smarties who were used to Weewee's 'punctuality', we knew it was not necessary to be on time. Hence explaining the almost 1h delay of the starting time of the walk.

Prior to the walk, Elvin and Dawn tried to talk me out of the walk, citing reasons about the wet weather making the grounds soggy.. I was almost tempted to sleep in, except for the goose liver, rack of lamb and the many food that I had incidentally consumed thinking about the workup that I will have the weekend. I must say the perserverance paid off, somehow at least, but this is do-it-once-but-never-again kinda walk... If you think that walking in the forest with your beloved is a romantic thing, kindly think again.. With the sole exception of carrying your darling throughout the entire walk, there is nothing else that can convince non athletic ladies to take the plunge into the forest, smelling smelly army boys... Oh boy, the stench...

Well, it was quite impossible to try to talk Weewee into carrying me throughout the walk; even the threatening part to hold his hand for a 3 whole secs did not do the job.. So, just for the sake of bullying him, I made him carry my bag, which would have turn out to weigh me down had I not let him do the honours.. Phew to the thought of bullying him.. But then again, THANKS WEEWEE, U R SUCH A DARLING! hahaha..

The walk continues, continued, is still continuing even when my calf muscles were burning with exhaustion. When I thought I was unable to continue any further, the sight of the supposedly hanging bridge renewed my inspiration to move on! Finally! We are halfway through the trail! Not that I was not awed by the bridge which was actually quite stationary, I had known it not to be the really freely moving type of bridge, but I was really tired already, suffering the after effects of the previous late night. Nonetheless, it was nice coming to a place full of greenery and out of the urban...

On the way out, we saw lotsa monkeys.. One mummy monkey had its baby on its back while it leisurely strolled pass us, another had its little baby hanging from underneath it. But of course these innocent monkeys are not what surprised us most. It was this monkey lifting the tail of another monkey to pick at its butt (or doing whatever it was doing) that silenced us most! It must be that when you are in the company of weirdos that you see 'exotic' scenes too.. Goodness..

Imagine our glee when we finally Finally FINALLY reach the end of the walk and reach Bukit Timah Hawker Center!!! Sustenance! Ice-cold beverages! Back to civilisation was a relief despite the close to 3h respite ONLY... Hehe..

Shacked... Regardless of the fact that I had a 2h nap back home before meeting them again, I am tired now.. Time to get my beauty sleep.. Meeting them again tomorrow.. Goodness, I spend more time with them than my family... Crap...

Pros and Cons of my height

Over lunch which consisted of wagyu beef (yummy!!!), I was told several things.

Because I am short, lightning will not strike me as long as someone taller is walking alongside me. And almost everyone is taller than me. So I need not worry about lightning. Even in the event that I raise my hand, Benson will still be the one to be prey to lightning, not me.

However, because I am short, floods are fearsome phenomenons to me. One flood - and I am gone.

Thankfully, in Singapore, the drainage systems are sufficiently good enough so that floods that could potentially cover my head, leading to my tragic death is close to nil. Lightning, on the other hand, is plentiful here, and forever on the lookout for new victims. Conclusion: it is ideal for me to live in Singapore.

I was also told that if Benson was so kind as to shelter me with his umbrella on a pouring day, his effort will be for naught. He is so tall that the umbrella in his hand will not be able to shelter me.

These coming from my colleagues - I can only conclude that we are indeed getting closer...

Come come and gather pls!

There's a first for everything! Now, I'm not Enbin, who always have double meanings in his entries (eg his description of how HIS RUBBER broke, leading to the 'shitty' accident); my first is pure and innocent - one sec sch class gathering and one jc class gathering, all combined in one weekend! Must be the date of sch reopening nearing that propelled these organisers to hurriedly send out dozens and dozens of smses, to gather and get cosy... Oh, why no pri sch outing? Prob cos the organiser is always me? And that I am finally tired of organising? And if you want a gathering, maybe you should take the initiatives rather than pointing the finger at me? So, moral of the story? I shall wait for pple to organise the next outing. Basing on the reasoning that I have the most contacts doesn't move me enough to organise the next. I will happily send anyone all the contacts =) Try me...

Sec sch class outing was quite a success. Steamboat at Geylang with the attendence of 14 pple, with about half of them whom I still meet up relatively regularly. Perhaps that's why I wasn't THAT excited about the class outing. Plus, din really have the chance to mingle with everyone... But of course, it was still fun and got to thank Jonnie for organising!

NOW, jc class outing is really something! It seems that we have about 27 pple in our class, and about 20 turned up! Well, out of the 7 absentees, 3 were from my clique during jc times (of course anna and karen asses are still my shitty buddies!). It seems that I am always the only representative... Not too nice ah asses.. Maybe the organising should fall to us in future? But I must say Gerald really did a fantastic job! He and his efficient maid prepared all the yummylicious BBQ food! It was the first time that I had such great food during a BBQ! Plus the pool side massage (nothing sleezy ah!). Plus the chaffeuring home! Plus the catching up! Conclusion: It was fun!

Although I was not that close to my JC class during our schooling days, it amazes me that it is always them that brings me more surprise. Instances like my 21st bday, it was my JC's class overwhelming turn up that touched me - to think that I always thought that I am closer to my sec sch frens... Nonetheless, my sec sch days were among the best of my schooling days! Not forgetting my red tables days!!!

Anyway I learnt something today - Never over exert yourself after blood donation, you might suddenly find yourself pms-ing, regardless of the fact that you are a guy!

Delusional

I was telling CC that the red table peeps (or rather only Benny and Suresh) are forever telling how hot I am, how cute my butt is, how a turn-on my heels are... Hahaha... I can just say they are delusional. Then yesterday Aifen has to join in the ranks to comment on my supposedly 'small and perky' butt... Goodness... Never in my entire 23 yrs of living has my butt received so much attention ever!

Last friday, Su he just have to tell my colleague that I looked hot! And he said with such a straight face that I would have believed him if I haven't seen myself in the mirror everyday for the past 8395 days! Today as I was talking to my colleague, I was constantly wondering if he remembered what Su said... Well if he thinks the same way, then jolly well (*gees... floating)! But if he dun think so (damn it!)..... Someone pls get me a spade, I want to dig a hole to bury my head in!!!

Its not so much that I dun enjoy the compliments, its just that coming so often, they dun seem truthful anymore! Telling me once in a while that I look good when I really do will make my day! Just dun say it for the sake of saying. Watching Benny shaking his head when he sees my butt (goodness, should I feel violated?! haha) and commenting that he needs to go toilet makes me 哭笑不得( for the benefit of su, it means dunno whether to cry or laugh). Diaoz......

Nonetheless, being the natural optismist that I am - Thank you for all the compliments!

CC and Red table peeps integrated!



I'm really so glad that CC is finally back! We are spending more time together, esp now that she knows the red table peeps! Well, even my colleague knows them! Haha.. Nothing too much to elaborate about this colleague, especially now that I know that by googling 'LIM JACK WEE', it will link to my blog, I better be careful of what I write in my blog! Cos anyone might come across my positivities! Wahahaha... Anyway in case you haven't received the most outrageous news, LIM JACK WEE google his name when he is bored! The last time he was real bored, he tried on his mum's jewelleries (and this was only about 1 yr ago I think!).. The next time he's super duper bored, I shudder to think what crap he might come out with!

Bebe and Mimi's relationship has finally come to a full stop. They have officially divorced and Suresh Krishnasamy has climbed up the ranks to become No 1 in Bebe's life. The looks they LOVE to give each other and the flying kiss that Bebe just have to smooch Su's way every now and then is pure LUSTY! Me the No 2 is now thinking about transferring my attention while the feelings are still not deep, since they are so lovey dovey =)
One of the choices might be Weewee ah.. Hahaha... First, he is a silent victim, and I can do anything to him! Yeah! Donut Factory donuts pls! I miss the double choc donut! And he gave me a syringe to seal his love.. Diaoz... He said it's priceless since he has to smuggled out of his lab.. After analysing the situation, it might turn out that the syringe, which according to Weewee is only of single use, made of latex and disposable, is indeed priceless, if his fear for Yao is any indication of 'his love' for me... Hahaha

Grad photos update!

Who's the most excited about my commencement? Of course my parents! They said they have been waiting for 23 yrs for this day! Wow, then I'm glad that you 2 finally got what you have wished for!

I din have to take leave for commencement day on 4th July 2007 - Independence Day - how apt!
The sweetest thing that happened that day was of course about Dr Huang! He specially put on a tie, tidied his hair in the gents before taking photos with the 3 Huang's angels! His brilliant smile was of a megawatt enough to blind me! Hmmm he seems to have put on some weight ah but still I love Dr Huang!

It's a must to go back to S9-02-03 Xiao huang's lab to take pics! These are my wonderful labbies for my entire honours, but with the absence of Karen, who has left for better prospect! Wishing you all the best! Shifu Caili must have gone in search of his wife and my little boss Chenwei who went back China... In this small space, I spent half of my most happening year in uni bitching with my lovely labbies!

Then of course I must thank the girls for coming to my commencement! Hehe.. Dor was my camera woman and Lj was my hanger.. My mum felt so bad about letting Lj carry all my stuff but I assured her its alright since I had that role last yr! Goodness! All the 6 of us have graduated! Sayonara to sch, and bid welcome to career!

Finally, the long awaited entry!

Yes, yes, yesh! I know, I know.. This is a long awaited entry. I was told that even Enbin had an entry after my last one! This entry gotta be a chop chop one too.. Cos I need to meet CC at 6pm! Yesh, she is finally back! And we are supposed to go do pedicure tonite! I hope she has fantastic news to share with me soon! Haha... Su and Mimi met her yesterday, and Su did find her hot! Haha... That was a great bday pressie for u eh, my dear Su? Surprise surprise, Mimi managed to click quite well with her! But then again, my best fren must be someone wonderful rite?! Haha...

So many things have happened recently. I cannot rem the order, but CC leaving for her grad trip and now she's back (Hooray!). Commencement 2007 and we are officially graduates! Transformer, robots in disguise! Harry Potter - a major disappointment for myself, but who am I to judge, since I am not a hardcore Harry fan? Dinner by the Quayside - food not fantastic but it was nice to receive a rose that was delivered there. Now before minds start to run wild, all my female colleagues got a rose each! Haha... Sweet gesture coming from my colleague who has the greatest praise from our boss! Haha... Wii playing at another colleague's house! It was super fun! Weewee, if you haven't bought the PSP, I would have encouraged you to buy this Nintendo Wii! Super cool! There is this sensor that is placed above the TV, and you just play games with the remote in your hand. It can capture any motions that you make when you play boxing games, golf or even tennis! I wanna get one too! But too bad, its freaking ex, at least to me!

July - the month where the 4 hunks' bday lies! Happy bday to the 4 darlings! Su, Wee, Enbin and Bebe! Poor Wee, slogging away in his lab and spending so little time with us! I am sure he is sick with missing us! He sounded so forlorn when I called him yesterday! Must be missing Jiesi like mad! Su and Benny, I see them more often! Esp Benny and Wansi! I almost met them everyday this week! Talking about Enbin, tsk tsk.. That flirt.. Haha.. Giving me a flying kiss right in front of his gf! Haha... Learn to be a mite more discreet! Hahahaha..

Goodness! I just love all these people! Honours class of 2007 chemistry!

Shucks! Running late! Update another day!

Some days are simply more embarrassing than the others!

Marina South!? Dempsey Road!? Somewhere nearby!? Finally we came to a consensus - lunch will be at Samy's Curry at Dempsey Road. So, this place is not too near office, and some colleagues will have to drive.

As I was happily getting on the car, I heard the sound of a tear. One colleague apparently heard it too, cos he turned his head towards the direction of the sound. He looked both surprised and concerned. I kept my face straight and pretended not to have heard anything. You know why? Cos I not only can hear the tear, I can feel it too! The slit at the back of my skirt was spilt to a good 2cm above its normal height. Well well, embarrassing huh?

Finally finished lunch, which included tiger prawns, at Samy's Curry. It's time for some coffee. So guess wat? We got to get in the car again to travel to the next destination. As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. I guess I was never the shy kind, that's why I manage to tear my skirt a 2nd time! This time, it tore so high that I was afraid that I would have no need to wear the skirt at all! Luckily, I was adept enough at skirt tearing that the slit stopped at inches away from indecency... Hehe... If anyone thought that I looked exceptionally 'sexy' today, no one commented. Phew to that, if not I would surely feel obliged to point out that it is a tear and not that I chose the skirt to intentionally show off my stumpy legs. Now, THAT is really embarrassing!

Moral of the story: It's never a bad thing to have more clothes.

Conclusion: I am going shopping this saturday. As the greeny Mask man always say, 'SOMEBODY STOP ME!'

The first weekend after being gainfully employed!

The week ended with an enjoyable night listening to the melodious voice of Huili at Ark's and dinner by the roadside(eating food and drinking in dust simultaneously haha). Then, it was TCC with coffee, tea and conversation flowing endlessly. But guess what?! There were just some of us who are not ready to go home! Hehe... So here we are, appreciating wine at Wine Bos.. Nice... Red table peeps we must go there sometimes, the ice wine is super duper cheap! $38 for 1 and $60 for 2! Yummy... Nice ambience but dun think we can bridge there, cos it is somewhat dark, although I doubt it is enough reason to deter any reasons for bridge.. =p Well, although I dunno how to go, Justing said he knows where it is! Alrighty!

It is not that I am shameless, but I can really feel that all of us miss each other alot! Chatting with Mimi and Weewee and Justin(Bird King) and Fen online yesterday was pure bliss! I can feel the concern and care woozing out of their every word when I talked to them! Even when Wee and Mi and myself are calling each other ben si, Wee and Mi asking each other to go and die, we are feeling intense pleasure at the simple fact that we are talking to each other, and updating on everyday things.. Goodness, I miss them so, even though I have seen some of them just a week ago! Thankfully, we are planning to meet up this week for dinner! Hopefully, all of us can be there! Catch up some.. Crap some... Bridge some... Red table some....

To clarify something, gers who cannot cook are hot too alrite! NO discrimination pls! Weewee is the one who started all these subjects on gers being able to cook wonderfully.. He commented that he will want to cook with his gf but the notion of Weewee cooking in the kitchen with his gf is simply too hilarious! I bet he will be nagging at the gf on what she do and how she should do it.. 'NO! You should cut the carrot into thinner slices!' 'You should hold the knife this way!' And of course, with him jerking away(with that silent victim look on his face) from the gf when she finally cannot take it and point the knife towards him and warning him to shut up!! Hahahaha Well, Weewee u might want to think twice about cooking with ur gf ya!

New Gadgets

Congrats to Su, who has just gotten his new phone, which, if I'm not wrong, he has been eyeing for a while already. Congrats to ben si Jack, for getting his new gold PSP, on which he surfs net and store pictures but never play games. I wonder why did he paid so much for it when my brother bought it within days of Jack's without paying so much and with twice the memory. Should I congratulate myself for getting a new phone, a new corporate plan without having to pay at all? Dun be too envious, it all comes at a price - I have to be contactable 24/7. Oh, din I tell u? It comes with the job... My colleagues were telling me to get a Blackberry soon.. Nah, I dun think anything soon.. Too much for me to handle..

Today was my 2nd day at work, and lunch was still a lengthy event of 2h, not that I’m complaining.. Hehe.. Weewee, dun be jealous.. The amazing thing was that I din have to pay a single cent! My colleagues are rich and generous men, treating me to lunch at a Jap/Korean place at Robinson Walk (I think) near UE Square, afterwhich we went for coffee at TCC.. Well, one guy treated lunch, the other treated coffee.. Quite cool to understand and get to know your colleagues better in this way ah.. Haha...

OL = Office Lady

All of a sudden, I felt like a grown-up! Today was my first day at work! As I had previously said, I was excited and apprehensive at the same time when I started out my day. Now, I feel relieved and look forward to the challenges ahead! As Chun and I discussed yesterday, we want to excel in our work and become workaholics in the process! Hehe... Crazy rite?
The most often heard phrase I heard today was 'Welcome back!'. How wonderful that sounded! Today being the first day, I slacked the entire day through. There was nothing much that I could have done. Lunch was fantastic! According to my colleagues, Mondays and Fridays are days that we have to go for long lunch breaks, cos Mondays are recovery days while Fridays are preludes to weekends! I like the sound of that! So, true to their words, we went for a 2h long lunch break today. First we drove to this coffeeshop near Queensway for curry rice. Unfortunately, the place was under renovation, thus we went to the nearby hawker center. I haven't even finished my drink when one of my colleagues suggested that we go Bukit Timah for ice cream! The next time I know, we were already on our way to Island Creamer! Black forest ice cream with lotsa alcohol in it... Woo... Drunk during work? Hahaha
Well, I can't possibly end work super early during the first day even though I have nothing to do rite? So I stayed behind to do some reading. But my very nice colleague nudged me at 6 plus to go home. What can I do but to go off? *Chuckles
Shop shop shop.. Bought a new skirt when Sisi called to tell me to go queue at Cafe Cartel. Had a nice chitchat with all of them. Bridged a little.. Bitched a little... Hehe... Life cannot be better than this!

Dream a little dream...

Things have finally been confirmed! I am starting work on Monday! While I am very excited about starting work, I am also somewhat apprehensive cos I am worried that I might not be able to learn things as fast as it is ideal. I guess this should be a normal reaction, something similar to the prenatal or pre-marriage kinda syndrome, right? Haha.. Anyway I am just looking forward to starting my working life!

The best thing is, I will be starting work at 930 every morn, which means I can probably sleep til about 8am! Yippee!!!
But the sad thing is, once I start work, I will have much much less time with the red table peeps... According to them, we shall meet every thursday. Whoever can make it, will go. We really must make it a point to meet up often yar?! Oh my goodness, I am so going to miss these people!!!!!!! All my darlings!!

Maury Show

I was reading my brother's blog when I came across some youtube links. Being the naturally inquisitive person that I am, I logged on to the youtube website and started searching for Maury Show.

This show is a series helping people who faced problems. I haven't seen much, but what I have seen struck deep in my core. 2 clips especially strickened me.

First, there was this 15 yr old teenager who was adamant about having a baby. Her mother did not know about her daughter's promiscuous behaviour until one day, she caught her daughter having sex in her(mother's) room. This first time her mother caught her, she stopped her acts after her mother screamed at her. However, this audacious teenage was caught by her mother twice following the incident in her mother's bedroom. And each time, she just ignored her mother's pleas for her to stop, continued with her act of trying to procreate. At her tender age of 15, she has had sex with at least 15 men, no less than 300 times. During the show, she admitted to her mother that she has sex in public places for almost 100 times. The rumor her mother heard about a student having sex in the school's toilet was her. The amazing thing is, she does not feel that she has done anything wrong. To her, having sex is a mean of her getting a baby and being a player as she think she is, helps her to achieve her goal. Imagine her mother's torment when she heard that her daughter is still utterly unapologetic about her totally wrong mentality and behaviour! I feel for the mother, she must really be at a loss of what to do for her teenage daughter..

The next clip that I watched was about these 4 teenage girls selling their bodies for money. The youngest of them was a 13 yr old! The positive thing is that all these 4 girls realised their mistakes, and have since decided to go back to their family for help.

Brought up in the type of family that I have, I have never known that such things do happen. My parents always tell us how much they love us and their actions also tell it all. There was never a doubt that we love each other. There was also hardly anything that we won't tell each other. Thus, it really came as a shock that teenagers are so wilful as to openly oppose their parents at the expense of themselves. All parents love their children, they might just have different ways of expressing. I'm sure that these problematic children are merely trying to gain attention by doing different things to hurt their parents. While we might quarrel or fight (not literally!) with our parents, we must always remember that they do really love us alot! Even if we are caught up in our destructive anger, we mustn't let this anger blind our parents' love for us. Even if we are of opposing views.

Family day cum day I lost my precious!

To others, Sunday is a normal family day, but for our family, every alternate Monday is a family day! Relatives on mummy's side also abide to our custom! So, almost fortnightly, we will have a mass gathering at one of the Hougang's kopitiam for 'zi cha'. We are closer to the relatives on mummy's side, so this kind of tradition is only observed with them, rather that with the relatives on daddy's side.

Basically, my parents' schedule for every alternate Monday is generally the same. Firstly, daddy wakes up 9 in the morn, goes to the kopitiam a few blocks away, find granny who will always be on the lookout for daddy on Mondays, and the 2 of them will chitchat over coffee. Actually, most of the time, it is granny who is doing the talking. Above all the bad habits that my dad has, he is really a filial son, and a doting son-in-law. As much as he likes to tease my granny about her stinginess (she is always complaining about the lack of ingredients people put) and her bun of a hairstyle, he bothers to keep her company and hear her talk.

After the breakfast, daddy comes home, wait for a while, and proceed to another kopitiam much further away with mummy, and sometimes me/brother (if we are at home) for lunch. Well, I can tell you the food they eat is pretty much the same. It's either duck porridge or bap kut teh. Hardly anything else. Next thing on the schedule is to go visit ah ma (my paternal grandma) or some temples. However today, it is shopping day! I think commencement to us graduates is nothing much in particular but to our parents, it is a great deal! Thus, I accompanied my parents to the nearby Compasspoint to do some 'commencement shopping'. Ever since they started running the stall, I hardly see daddy wearing shirts and pants although he used to before he changed his way of making a living. He boasted about him being such a suave hunk in his newly bought clothes and how he looked like a 20 plus year old youngster. Well, if you know him, you will know how humorous and bhb a guy he is. Haha.. About him being suave and all... Well, we have seen much better.. Oops.. haha

Sob sob... The most upsetting thing happened today! I know its inevitable cos I have received so many complains from my family already. But I had thought that things could have been delayed. To me, it is the most wonderful thing, but everyone else in the family doesn't agree with me! Why?! My mummy INSISTED on buying me a new booster! @#$%*@$ I don't want! I only want my old one! Without it, I cannot go to sleep! In the end, I lost the battle, and ended up with a new booster. I whined to mummy that I need to slowly get use to the new booster, so in the mean time, she CANNOT throw away my old one yet. I'm glad I got that small victory. Phew!

I thought it is natural to have something since young, like my booster which according to the rest in my family, smell as old too but of course I don't think so! It seems that I am the only one in the family who has something like that. But eh no! My brother got 1 teeny-weeny booster from young which he still has, but no one complains! Unfair! I can do nothing to appeal my case, since the jury unanimously condemned my booster. Goodbye my love..........

What an exciting week!

Quite a few things happened recently. But since I have been quite tired everytime I reached home, I couldn't quite summon the energy to post any entries. Not that I am not tired now, this sickening nose of mine have been running non-stop at an iron man's speed and stamina for the past 2 days...

The meeting with you-know-who was really the most entertaining. 6 of us facing him in the room and discussing issues as friends would. Susu caught me by surprise cos he was candid with his words, with things like 'screwed' coming out. I don't know if I regret helping making this thing into such a great issue. I mean, if it is for the benefit of the mass, then good. But if it is at the expense of those who gave us support and the go-ahead, I don't think I feel so good. It seems as if we are backstabbing them, regardless of whether it was our intention. It was indeed what we achieved, even if it was only made by the mis-phrasing of our sentences.

Bad things aside, this has been a most wonderful week. Of course, spending time with the red table peeps are always fun! Discovered a few secrets here and there.. Hehehe... Me being the uber (borrowing the word from Enbin) dense person in observing the going-on of the people, the secrets were told to me, in the most explicit terms.

Went ktv with Xiaoling, Huifang, Jieying and Cheek yesterday. We have a Jacky-cum-Andy among us! His voice is malleable and can change to soft-Jeff when need be. I hope I was not any off-factor since my spirts was sort of dampened by my running nose. We will do it again soon!

The highlight of my week! Those who have seen me this week will know. If you haven't seen me, but you are part of the red table, you will also know! Its not that I am trying to be mysterious, but only that I prefer to announce once after everything's confirmed. Which is to be soon, I guess... So in the meantime, stay tuned to thinkcationsthinkpositive!

As beauty(beautiful) as dew on leaves!

Anna ass has a new admirer! He checks her out in the temple, scrutinizing her everyone. Even when she go get drinks for herself and her mum, his eyes follow her (Woooo.....). The scariest thing is that they were never formally introduced to each other, and prior to the temple meeting, she has never seen him before! Temples are not the safest place, if we can conclude it that way!
This guy calls Anna ass as beauty as dew on leaves, but what I think he meant is that she is beautiful and fresh like dew drops! Well, Karen ass found the description sweet but nonetheless, we were laughing our heads off, whether it is sweet or not. It is simply quite corny! But we give you 100% for the effort!

My dearest CC is leaving for Europe in just a couple of hours time! A month around Europe for a second time! How lucky you are, my dear?! Catching up with her today was wonderful! So glad that I caught her during her brief 2 days in S'pore before her exciting grad trip! She looked as beautiful as always! The happiest thing was that she seemed to have really moved on in life! Yay!

Of course not forgetting Karen ass, who is leaving for Cambodia tomorrow too! Enjoy your trip and hopefully something can blossom out from this holiday! Hehe.. When you come back, it's then time for us to get Anna's pressie.. Oops... You better kill some cells thinking about this issue ass!

MSN Nicks

I don't know if this is a normal thing to do, but I always read people's msn nicks. Msn nicks are interesting strings of words, they can tell you something about what that person is feeling, what he/she is undergoing etc. Of course, there are people who likes to hint things to the person they like via their msn nicks, or having double meanings to confuse people. One person who likes to do that is Ms Yip and I think Wanyi do that sometimes too. The people they like must be good at deciphering! It can be quite a challenge!

Now the reason for my discussion today, is this interesting nick that I saw from my list of friends(whom I have blocked). This interesting guy has his nick as goes, 'Calling a woman a "superwoman" just because she can do exactly what a man can, is simply sexist.' Now boy, by making this kind of statements when you seem quite desperate to befriend new potential girlfriends is wrong! I spell W-R-O-N-G! Tsk tsk... You got to learn more from your fellow species! Tsk tsk tsk... Maybe he is befuddled by all the studying, or maybe he is too deprived of female companies, but this lack of understanding is bad for him, especially when rumors has it that he is on his way to become a gynae! I worry for the females who will have him as their gynae!

Guys, even if you agree with his nick, but as long as you are smart enough, you wouldn't explicitly show that in the presence of ladies. So the ultimate question is not about whether you really are a sexist or not, but whether you have the decency not to show it! Cheerios!

It's been a long day!

Slept at 3am last night, and woke up 4hrs later... Rushed to the red tables... Hectic morning!
During lunch, my 'DARLING' oh-so-tanned-so-tall-and-I-shall-stop-at-that LIM JACK WEE tried to be funny! Mr Weewee, stop your nonsense right at once! I don't want any misunderstandings, you understand? 真是笨死了!Trust me, I will make your worst nightmare come true if you don't heed my advice! Hehehehehehehe... Touche!
Forgetting that irritant, Mimi and I went shopping in town! I finally bought my first ever pair of Levis jeans! While in principle they were not so cheap, but I thought it was a good buy! It might possibly deter Benny from liking me too much(if you get what I mean =p)!
Mango next! I think the Mango sales are upcoming! The jeans was only 55 bucks! As cheap as it might be, they ran out of my size.. Oh I will wait a while more! I can't wait to shop more!
Dinner was perfect! It was as usual full of shit and crap with Su, Wee, Mi and Si around. There was new additions today - presenting you Enbin and Liangliang! One who is full of corns and horns, the other whose imagination is faster than any humanly possible speed! Finally today, I can participate in some talks that I was unable to previously.. Really fun and quite an eye-opener! I believe more talks are underway.
Being gossipy is tiring business. I need my rest now. Tomorrow starts a new day and I need energy! ZZZzzzzz

Old hag in training...

I am officially the housewife for the time being.. But all this housewife do is to collect the clothes after sunning (Oopsies). No mopping, no washing, no sweeping and of course no cooking! Meanwhile enjoying life and slacking at home. Yeah!

Will and Jack(Sparrow, not Wee) = Romance and Humor

Welcome back, Su from Redang! Saw his matrix pose underwater, was kind of cool! The movie plan which was decided before he left for his snorkeling trip was carried out yesterday!

All the girls were supposed to wear dresses, by the orders of the notorious and demanding and scary Mimi(who else?!). She needs to attend a friend's wedding dinner, and since she has decided on a dress, all of us who were to go out with her need to be in dresses too!

Someone's someone was there for the shopping part! This someone's someone's identity has been a mystery to me for the longest time! Ever since the semester, I was trying to figure out whose someone's someone is! Throughout the entire BJ/HK trip, I was tormented and being stupidified whilst trying to find out who this person is! But my fellow travellers, enjoying seeing my overworked brain cells dying, refused to give me DECENT clues about this person! Even after we came back and I finally thought I solved this case with my Holmes' intelligence, I was merely told that I made a good guess! I painfully gave up and ignore my innate inquisitivity!! Never once have I thought that I, Sherlock, have finally succeeded in my tedious task! Tsk tsk.. Shame on you for not telling the truth, someone! Being the magnanimous me, I should wish you good luck in WHATEVER you choose to do.. Hehehe...

Anyway, Pirates 3, as usually sequels are, was not as good as the previous ones. Or so I'm told. I found the plot alright, but the forever-sashaying Jack Sparrow superbly hilarious! The scene where Will Turner proposed to Elizabeth Swann in the midst of 'war' was humorously romantic... Awww.... Since it was Sisi's 2nd time watching, we knew in advance that there was going to be an additional scene right at the end.

As the honours roll continued rolling away, I was wondering when the irritating ending will come! Our bladders, defying nature's call, was bursting anytime, especially after a nearly 3 hrs of movie cum ads! Oh, how unglam.. hehe.. But I am a naturally unglam person. If you have seen unglam sides to me, then you can be sure that you are someone I am comfortable with, cos I feel relaxed with you! Ahhh... So now you know!

Mount Faber Rendevous! OOOOooo...

With my heart thumping(whose heart don't thump?), I arrived at Restaurant Marina Deck with the 2 笨死 and the recently acquainted Soo Hui.. To my dismay, the stationary ship that I told everyone we will dining on is not on any waters, but just a building that happens to be in the shape of a ship! The rest soon arrived and we all seem disappointed about the ambience but everyone was so nice to console me that the place is very family and it would be comfortable for us to dine there(since I was the one to make the reservations). We were giggling away when Dr Huang arrived and I told him we all feel cheated about the dining on the 'ship'. Although there was not much ambience to talk about, the people present really made the night wonderful! This once again prove the point that it is ultimately the people that make or break things! Throughout the entire night, Dr Huang was so engaging and funny and animated and and and the list goes on, that we all enjoyed the outing so much!

This is the first time that we actually talked to Dr Huang the way we did that night! I must say that he really knows us quite well, especially Jiesi! The least he knows is Qinglin, hahahaha 'cos she only shows him his angelic side! The quiet and introvert student that he thought the 笨死was turned out to be the real horny one, gossipy and 霸道.. Now he knows.. hehe...
However, his judgement of Jiesi was super accurate! When I asked him if Jiesi said she was a shy girl, will he believe? His reply, 'If she is shy, then so is he' sent us into gasps of laughter!! His friendly sarcasm that night brought our relationship with him up another level!

天下无不散之宴席, the night finally came to an end... I look forward to the day when Dr Huang set up a company and he hires Jiesi, Qinglin and me.. Our sole workload will be to play bridge with him.. Hopefully, his prediction of going bankrupt upon hiring us will not come true!
This past year has been a wonderful experience! While the results did not turn out to be fantastic, it was worth the experience and all the new people that I have met within this one year! Indeed, grades are not everything! Thanks Dr Huang!

Salute Sergeant Kenny!

Little Kenny has grown up to be a man! I mean he still look quite the puny boy, as is the norm in our family - we all look small due to our 'outstanding' height, but mentally, he is a macho soldier! Hehe..
Oh but he really look so cute here! The camo hat or whatever you call it is so big that it covers half his head! That stupid grin on his face! Well, he can be irritating at times but at this moment, I just love this little man so much!

Well, to others, it might be a small matter to raise rank to be a sergeant, but in our family, it is something! Daddy was only a lance corporal who was promoted merely for formality sake since he cannot possibly be of a rank that equals recruit after serving NS for so long! Thus, the entire family proudly attended brother's parade!

Having to wake up so early is a drag! Nonetheless, it is worth it since it seems to make brother really happy to see the entire family there!

新娘18!

新娘18! This show is really quite nice! I am so hooked onto it that I have no time to blog! Apart from the everyday activities which includes the losing weight part(but the intake seems to outbalance the output=p), I will stay glued to the tv! That means I have no time to upload the photos as yet! But some of the red table peeps have already seen all the photos taken by the 3 different cameras yesterday. The laughter and the rowdiness while viewing the photos was deafening! How can it not be? Especially since we were explaining the various hilarious actions by Weewee and the stories about Mimi raping Weewee etc etc...

OOps... and Dr Huang walked past during one of the spasms of horrendous laughters... Totally lost our image and reputation(if we have any to begin with), Huang's angels!

Yesterday's photo sharing, tennis followed by dinner at Breko was wonderful! But we are all awaiting Bebe's return and we miss him so much! Heard that he thanked those who were absent from the grad night (meaning FiLuMiWee) during his speech and tried to emo people in crying.. Well, we thank you too, Bebe, for being such a wonderful class rep and a bridgeramaniac and a red table member! Come back soon ya!

FiLuMiWee back from trip!

To all the people who have missed us, FiLuMiWee are finally back from the Beijing/HK trip! The trip was truly amazing, and the only disappointment lies in the setting off date of the holiday, which coincides with the grad ball night! Sigh... The 4 of us set off our journey, trying to make people miss us by calling Sisi, Susu and Bebe before we flew... Only Bebe did not pick up our call.. So we made him guilty for choosing sleep over our call by smsing him a stupid message. I guess it did the trick 'cos he sms us right away on the night we arrived in Singapore, at 2am! Must have missed us real hard! Hehe... Anyway I hope that he is enjoying himself in Europe now... We can only see him after 3 weeks... Til then, Bebe! Maybe he will bring back a girl who obeys Hook's law back home! *Winks

I guess I will only upload the photos when I am more free. Now the main objective is to find a job(at the same time do some slacking) and lose some weight.. Anna and Karen ass have commented that I seemed to have put on some weight... Jiesi's church friends have also said that she has grow fatter.. Conclusion: Tennis tomorrow!

By the way, thanks Anna and Karen ass for welcoming me home from the airport even though my flight is so late! Really quite touched by the both of them and it was really a pleasant surprise to see Karen ass at the airport! Thanks asses!!

OOOOOoooo.. I am now officially not a metal-teeth-girl anymore!!! See me smile!

Hectic Day

Today has been a really hectic day. Running to and fro. Ganjiong like the ganjiong spider Bebe (haha). Checking out the exchange rates, buying the necessities, visiting the dentist and buying more cough syrup from the clinic.

Goodness, the exchange rates at Hougang point, Hougang mall and Compasspoint sucks! Probably I seemed like a gullible naive little girl (I was told by someone I looked 14/15 recently) whom they can easily con. I guess they are wrong! For I decided not to patronise them and went ahead to little india with Anna Ass to change all my money with better rates. Thanks Anna, she has been such a babe (for once, I am calling her the babe. PS: But never Karen Horsey Ass as the babe unless you count calling her the fake babe as calling her a babe) The first sms I received this morning is that she(Anna) wants to come pick me up from the airport when I come back. Nevermind that I will be reaching S'pore near midnight only. She threatened that she will come even if I don't want her to. This really touched me. No matter what happens, she will always be there for me. I know that for sure (maybe things will change after she gets married =p). Awww.. Karen Horsey Ass, don't be jealous when you read this.. You know I love you too.. Hahahahaha

Finally, packing is almost, with only my spects which I am wearing now left over to put in my bag. Yippie!

Bebe smsed an emo message just now. Goodness, I just love my honours class! I hope that the graduation ball will be a roaring success and all the people will love playing the games that Bebe and friends pain/bloodstakingly planned (I was the guinea pig and I must said I make great partners with Wee and Lu! It was lots of fun!) Bebe was already emo when he smsed me just now, saying he will miss FiMiLuWee. Got the crying emoticon too! As touched as I was, I couldn't resist laughing out loud. It is just so weird to see the guys more emo than the girls. Nonetheless, I am sure that at the grad ball, everyone who's close to the red tables will be extremely upset. It is really the fullstop to the honours year. If only the trip could have been postponed for a day... Then we could have made it...

If only I could turn back time........

Interview over; BJ/HK upcoming!

Thanks to all the people who were so concerned about my interview! I did my best and I can only hope that my 3 interviewers were satisfied with it. The interview took 1 hour. As much as I loved to talk usually, this 1h of non-stop talking about myself was a little too much for me to handle. By the end of it, while we shook hands and exchange pleasantries before I can leave, I was already thinking, 'Finally I can go get that drink which I needed desperately!'. But it's all over now. Hoping for the best but not carrying too high hopes. =p

Anyway, now the most exciting thing in my life is the upcoming trip! Online discussions, face-to-face discussions.. OMG.. It just makes us more excited! When we were discussing online today, mimi and weewee were flirting away! Weewee said 'kick u' which is actually an endearment to mimi. They are just weird.. (fenfen said weewee is SM kind) Wahahaha The sparks that they create is extremely blinding.

Well, I learnt today that Weewee is really a popular guy/auntie. Sisi's grad gown was chosen by him, Fenfen asked him to go shopping. Fenfen told me that he likes lots of cleavage kind.. Goodness... Aunties also like cleavages?! It's really confusing at times. He looks like quite the 'manly' guy(he's tall and tanned, and we shall stop at that), but he behaves like an auntie. Whatever. He is good at bargaining for cameras too! Even CC who don't know him that well, asked me to ask him when is he free to go camera hunting! This is the first guy (who's not gay as yet) whom girls will gladly want to bring him out on shopping sprees.

Conclusion: The part of the trip with loads of shopping will be amazing with him around! I think we will conquer HK's shopping world with Wee's help! Way to go wee! Wahahaha
