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!
