It was a stupid PH

It was a stupid public holiday yesterday. It's like you put on a holiday mood on Wednesday, and then you have to drag yourself to work on Friday.

No PH all the way until October.. x100000 SIAN.

Alanah: "Ahyijiejie, I want to sleep with you tonight."
ME: "But there's no more space on the bed already, you have to sleep on the carpet you know."
Alanah: "I don't like the carpet. but I try first." *lies on the carpet, with legs and head on the floor, butt held high*
ME: "Choose your pillow." *throws two small pillows on the carpet*
Alanah: "Where's my pillow?" (refering to her baby pillow)
ME: "Where's your pillow? I don't know.."
Alanah: *chooses a pillow and sleeps on it*
Alanah: "Eee, I don't like (refering to the furry carpet)." *moves to sleep on the floor*


HAHHAHA..

I think we should all learn to remember the good better than remembering the bad.

Lost Times (Part One)

I decided to have an impromptu mini spring clean of my room as I wanted to throw out things I wouldn't bear to throw in the past. (I'm a person who loves to keep any memento that is worth keeping)

I threw out half a bag of stuff; stuff including clothes tags which I used to keep but I figured it's not of any rememberance as it just showed the brand of clothings I used to wear and amount of money I spent on a clothes. I threw out old and dirty decorative keychains/handphone straps. (but I'm still left with a bunch of it) I threw out meaningless documents, warranty cards that have expired or that I do not own that handset anymore etc etc.

I recovered a bunch of cards I received during my Secondary School years, and a few that were received in Poly.Cards I forgot I ever received, and I supposed the senders forgot they ever sent/given out.

The amount I received during these two period of my life carries a huge difference. This just showed that during my Secondary School years, handwritten or handmade cards were still very popular, until all these traditional way of expressing love has been overtaken by virtual cards; ecards that you could only see it online, and not a physical thing which you could keep and still look back in time.

I wished everything hadn't been taking over by the virtual world. As much as how internet has made things easy, it took away alot of things too. Do you prefer receiving physical cards or ecards? Do you prefer to stay in contact with friends through means of msn or by meeting up?

I'm bad at keeping close friends. Friends whom I'm close with during my Secondary School years are now casual friend whom I don't really talk to anymore. It's how funny friends can become almost like strangers.

I will take some time to scan and upload the cards I've ever received soon :)

Smoked!

On Monday morning, I walked through the main entrance to my office. Oh gosh, it reeks of smoke! Initially I thought it was due to the massive smoke produced by smokers as most of time smokes near the main entrance, but oh dear god, I was wrong.

What produced the smoke? Some company actually burn incense (or whatsoever) in their office! Can you believe it?! The corridor from the main entrance leading to various companies is cooled by air-conditioner everyday!

I supposed it's the Indian company because I saw some flower string thingy hung up on their door. (I'm sorry I'm ignorant about any Indian festivals) but it's just so inconsiderate!

Till today, the corridor still reeks of smoke. We could have died from Day one due to the massive air pollution!

I quarrelled with my mum yesterday, over a minor matter, you'd say. It all started when she told me my elder sister, who is currently in Shanghai for a business trip, got robbed during her stay there.

Her digital camera, wallet, handphone and other misc. stuff in her handbag (I assume) were gone.

My mum asked which digital camera my sister brought over (perhaps cos I didn't have much reaction about the robbery) and asked if it's her new and expensive one. I say should be lor, what else.

She said "She should have brought your cheap and old digital camera so she wouldn't lose such an expensive one!"

.........................

I flared up and said "WHAT CHEAP? IT COST ME $400 OKAY!?!!!!!!!"

I was more angry with the fact that she'd rather my sister got robbed of my digital camera then got robbed of her newer and more expensive digital camera. I mean, if you're holding your sibling/friend's stuff, the least you want things to happen is a robbery right??

Furthermore I had bought it with my hard-saved money. If I'm not wrong, I was 16 at that time when I bought, haven't even started working. It contains memories (as I borrowed it for my Japan trip) and most importantly, it's my hard-saved money lah.

So mum started scolding on top of her voice, trying to change topic saying she is just concerned about my sister who is away in other country and hasn't called back yet yada yada yada yada.

I was irritated by her and said "FINE, DON'T TELL ME ABOUT HER STUFF, I'M NOT INTERESTED"

Then she started holler back saying I'm heartless, and say I can disown my sister (OH GOD, can you imagine how she always try to make things worst?) blablabla.

"Have you thought about my feelings when you said she should bring my cheap and old digital camera and that camera should be robbed instead?"

There was a cold hard silence after that.

And like always, she started to change topic and say how heartless, how I should disown my sister, how she is just concerned about my sister etc. and I plucked in my in-ear earphones and watch Prison Break.

People say we'd be the shadow of our parents when we grow up.

No, I don't want to be like that. If I think I will be a shadow of my mum when I grow up, I'd rather not give birth no matter how much I love kids.

千山万水

Jay Chou composed a song for Beijing Olympics 2008! I hope his song got selected :)




千山万水
千山万水　无数黑夜
等一轮明月
梦的边陲　风吹不灭
从不感疲惫
东方无愧　第一是谁
让我们追求完美
我态度坚决　面朝北
平地一声雷
做好准备　这一回
起跑后绝不撤退
痛快一起努力的感觉
我们拥有同样的机会
梦想挟带眼泪 咸咸的汗水
你我同个世界 爱从中穿越
梦与希望在飞 我向前去追
有目标就不累 等着我超越
千山万水 无数黑夜 等一轮明月
京剧唱腔/超越
梦的边陲 风吹不灭 从不感疲惫
东方无愧 第一是谁 让我们追求完美
我态度坚决 面朝北 平地一声雷
东方无愧　第一是谁
让我们追求完美
我态度坚决　面朝北
平地一声雷
做好准备　这一回
起跑后绝不撤退

远远平地一声雷 过千山万水

Baby Enya a.k.a Alanah's baby sister was born yesterday! I'm gonna visit her later :D

Photos soon!

It's been a good week

1) Boyfriend found a part time job! Horray!

2) Met up with Wendy on Wednesday and dine in at her Sir's restaurant (Bistro One Zero Three). Her treat!

3) Food is still amazing nice and I had my first beef meal there! I ordered Beef Stragonoff (correct spelling?) and it tastes delicious! Had been wanting to eat that ever since I tried it during Wenna's birthday.

4) I think I should bring boyfriend there soon because the restaurant might be closing down! No no, not because business' not good, but rather, business' too good for one chef to handle.

5) I finally get to do a mockup for a website! Okay, I've been doing website maintanence and I felt I'm getting rusty.

6) Meeting boyfriend tonight! Though I know he'd be wow-ing for a few hours straight.

7) Janice is gonna know her baby's gender next week! :)

8) Boyfriend's sister is gonna give birth any day this month!

9) I received CPF letter of repayment for the amount I borrowed from my brother for studies. Who can lend me $1.5k and I'll repay you $250 every month?

10) My 19-year-old cousin is getting married. Shotgun that is. I wonder why my cousins are all getting married at a young age. Another 19-year-old cousin married last year. Nope, not shotgun.

11) When's my turn to get married? I hope by age 25!

12) I've got nothing to say already. TATA.

Overdued

Wenna complaint about the lack of photos in my blog and I supposed that's the reason why no one tags anymore. I also start to think my blog has become boring because of work which ties me down 9-6 from monday to friday and weekends are usually reserved for boyfriend and friends, so I hardly have time to blog because I watch dramas during my free time, hurhur.

Alot of overdued photos, please bear with me.

The really huge Kung Fu Dunk mounted poster which
Catharine got it for me :)


*




Went to One Degree 15 at Sentosa Cove last weekend for buffet lunch with boyfriend and family.

Nice ambience over there and I certainly would love to try dining out in the swimming pool in future!

Food is good and very very fresh but what I found special is their coffee and tea!



As you can see, they provided us sugar all crystallized on a stick which also functions as a stirrer and they actually don't use common sugar for both tea and coffee; they used white sugar for tea and brown sugar for coffee. Only managed to take photo of boyfriend's tea because I had already stirred the entire brown sugar in my coffee by then, heh.

Birthday cake for Catharine. LOL.



Birthday girl :)


*




I've learnt how to solve a rubix cube!



And love making different combinations out of it!


*




Valentine's Day present from boyfriend. He knows I wanted a white strap watch, vintage looking kind with "bling bling" diamonds/crystals! Love it <3


*




My colleague, Rosalind did a collage of photos she took with us individually which was supposed to be a farewell present before she leave the company, but she's decided to stay, HORRAY!



Cute mini "masak masak" set she bought for us :)


*




Lady boss aka Janice bought us this during her trip to Hong Kong! It's by far the most authentic looking CJ7 I've ever come across.




*






My female colleagues and I.


*






During Jay Chou concert!


*




Samples from Origins given by Shun Wei. I love samples, because you get to try it without buying it and then realising it doesn't really suit your face!



Dirt cheap body scrub like what, $2.50 per tub!!!!!!


*




New Dell laptop which is comparable to Macbook Air in terms of dimensions!



WOW SO SLIM!



This is what you get when you open the lid..



The back of the laptop.



OMG, that's (literally) a notebook (pun intended) ???

SO COOL! I want one too!


*




I drew that using Macromedia Flash :)

:DD


That's all folks!


P.S. Reason why I'm still here at this time is because I drank hot Mocha earlier on and now I can't get to sleep.

紧

我还是不厌其烦地紧抓着希望
紧抓着梦想的边角
紧抓着成功所需要的物品
紧抓着你..


~送你一朵爱的花

I got the large Kung Fu Dunk poster mounted on a board! All thanks to my colleague, Catharine, who begged for it :)

Of cos it comes with a price to pay; my colleagues told me my boss had paid $200 for it and I have to return that sum of money to him. You should have seen my reaction, so sad about it, I mean, $200 leh..

My boss kept laughing about how I got cheated throughout the night.

Oh by the way, the mounted poster cost a freaking $350 which hard-core fans would pay for it.. -.-

Photos of it up next entry!

I got the cute CJ7 plush toy from Hong Kong! Lady boss had bought it for us during her Hong Kong trip last week :D

Photos for it up next entry!

I've booked a 4D3N Bangkok trip in May with boyfriend! Thanks boyfriend for agreeing to go even though it'd be over his budget.

Kung Fu Dunk VCD/DVD is out! But I'm waiting to see if there's limited edition before rushing into buying the normal version.

旧

有很多事
在你还不懂得珍惜的时候
就已经变成了旧事

有很多人
在你还来不及用心的时候
就变成了旧人

生命不等人的

有时候
死亡会悄悄降临
在你所爱的人身边

与其对抗命运
到不如好好珍惜
你能够给的日子

~薰衣草

Well done!!

What's wrong with you?

Yesterday I went to Bugis Village with my collagues after dinner at the Hong Kong Cafe in Bugis.

We were shopping and walking around the village and we were on our way out of the village to take the mrt at around 10+pm.

We passed by this two shops facing each other which was still open, then I heard a hysterical scream coming from one of the shop tenders.

I looked at the direction from where the scream came from, horror horror, the female shop tender was screaming hysterically and looking at my feet area.

Naturally, I looked down my feet and ran away, screaming too and saying "I SCREAMED BECAUSE SHE SCREAMED UNTIL LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!"

................................................

What did she scream for?

................................................

For a freaking cockroach on the floor.

Nevermind there was a cockroach, she was like one metre away from it, furthermore on a platform in which the cockroach had to like crawl frantically for one metre and crawl up the platform if it wants to attack her.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER??????????????????????????????????

If I had a weak heart, I'd have died by now. I swear my heart skipped two beats at that time.












It's just a freaking cockroach.

Not a rat, for goodness' sake.

All my colleagues thought it was a rat too.................................. but it was just a cockroach.




I pity the cockroach actually because it was only crawling leisurely around. Then when I heard that hysterical scream, I panicked, jumped around, and ran away.

It saw giant feet stomping on the ground, hence started to crawl frantically, avoiding getting stepped to death.




I know you may think I'm over-reacting but seriously, I was damn pissed off. If it's a flying cockroach, I'd have understand that hysterical scream, cos I'm afraid of flying cockroaches too.


DAMN YOU.

长大

人长大了

长大后

长大后

没有办法回应的话

长大后

没有人照顾的时候

长大后
有越来越多
没有理由的爱情挫折

人长大后
真的有好多的没有

但是让人长大的

Weird

My mum actually encourages me to stay over at boyfriend's house during weekends.

Yesterday she kept asking me why I didn't watch a movie with him because I said I would. I don't remember telling her that. Told her I didn't say that, and she walked into my room, asking the same question again.

"Must tell me if anything happened.."
"I told you nothing happen liao.."
"Then why you never stay over for the past two weekends?"
"Never stay over never stay over lah.."
"His mum don't like it?"
"Don't anyhow assume lah........"
"You two quarrelled?"
"No, we never. Nothing happened.."




ZZZZZZZ




She used to disapprove me of staying over during the weekends, now she's asking so much Whys if I'm not staying over.

It's just that things took a turn. Change took over. But the change did not affect our relationship.

Boyfriend ahhhhhhhhh.............................. Where's the Taiwan trip photos from your Uncle????

Happy CNY Over!

I guess Lunar New Year 2008 isn't a very good year for me.

Let me just summarised the misfortunes i had been encountering:

CNY Day 2 : Handphone snatched in JB

CNY Day 7 : Offended "small people"

CNY Day 9 : Boyfriend had problems

CNY Day 13 : Offended "small people" yet again

CNY over (today) : Family problems

I thought I had made a wise decision by coming back to Singapore on Day 2 because last year I came back on Day 3 but I realised I missed alot of things. Then I carelessly left my bag half-zipped and handphone gotten snatched from behind. Damn you f*cking Malay guy, I will always remember you, may you burn in hell. (not being racist) I will not forget how you keep on eyeing my handset (and I still didn't get susipicious, yet leaving my bag half unzipped like I always do), I will not forget how you rushed out when I was alighting, slightly pushed me, and at that point of time, my face turned green, tad me like *oh f*ck, something is wrong* and frantically searched my bag in vain, only to be rushed by my mum.

And thanks lor, I had decided to save up my entire angbao money for further studies next year or year 2010, but I spent it on a new phone. Thank goodness for the recontracting of my dad's mobile line.

But every cloud has its silver lining. There would be subsidies for part-time degree courses for the 3 major universities and uniSIM, and it's a swopping 40% subsidize! That means I can save like... 8k out of the 20k I had to pay initially? HORRAYYYYY~

Let me just end my entry with my favorite part of the entire Jay Chou concert :) Will update when Alvin sends in more photos :D

Notice that transparent piano? SO DIAO! The best thing is not only cos he looks like a prince charming, it's cos he went like "You know what song is most suitable for this setup? 最长的电影!" My favorite from his latest album xD

BTW, this will be the one and only photo without any watermark as Alvin requested.

P.S. I'm in love with watching Wife Swap! In case you do not know what it is, you can view the official website here. Well, it puzzles me why there's such extreme families in America? But I think the show's brilliant because they swaps wifes from two totally different families! What's the outcome? Go watch it in YouTube!

Tell me it's just a nightmare.
Tell me I will wake up tomorrow, and everything will be fine.









Life hasn't been good.





Night spent soaking in tears isn't what I ask for.
I may worry too much, but I worry because of you.

Speechless

I'm trying so hard, to make things right..
Yet none could absorb the facts I said..




What have I done wrong?
Who can I turn to?


Perhaps it's just the fact that the idea favours all except one.
I am the 'one'.

Perhaps it's just the fact that another idea favours one except all.
Again, I am the 'one'



If one multiplys into two, or even three,
Would things still be the same?




No.



But it's always all against one.
And I'm always the 'one'.










It hurts, it really does.

Dunk-ed!

Went for the movie screening earlier this Monday, gotten just a set of pokercards and two pairs of tickets.

Sadly, I gotten Charlene Choi for the back of the card, nonetheless, she's the second lead in the movie (am I right?) so it's okay :)

The movie is funny and cute! I think Jay's acting improve, really :D

GO WATCH OKAY?

*****

Brought a very moodless me to work today. The crowd at the busstop is much much lesser as compared to other days. The bus is not packed at all like other days.

Most companies are closed for today, leaving the minority still having to go to work.

As usual, I do not need to press the bell when my busstop is nearing, yet today, if I hadn't tap my card nearing the busstop, I bet the driver would have drove off to the interchange. I'm lucky he saw me and then stopped to let me alight, despite the fact that I didn't press the bell, cos I assume someone would, but today I was the only one alighting.

Totally no awkwardness in the lift with other passengers, because yet again, I was alone.

No mood to work, but have to work.

The inability to use MSN is even more demoralising.

Work had been frustrating. Why? Because communication between me and my project manager has become very very tedius. If there's many changes for the website, and say, I had doubts in a few of the changes, I had to email her back to enquire about it.

It used to be communication in MSN. Now it has become more tedius because I had to reply, and then wait several minutes (sometimes much longer) for a reply.

And it gets more frustrating when I just want to get the work over and done with.

My boss don't even trust us to finish our work, without letting too much chatting in MSN interfere. I admit I do chat quite alot, but I do my work, isn't it?

Enough said, let's not make my Chinese New Year a bad one.





P.S. I quarrelled with my mum in the morning. Sighs.

Yet another Jay post

I didn't pin too much hopes on winning any of the lucky draw/bids which I mentioned in my previous post (or did I sound like I'm pinning 100% hopes?)

Well, I didn't want to end up in disappointment.

Starhub bidding results is out. No, I did not win.
No news from Starhub nor Ripplevox regarding the MMS winners.

I was feeling like any other days today when I received this sms:

(Fr quakplt) U've won 2 tix 2 "Kungfu Dunk" on 4/2 in my paper contest. An email w b sent 2 u on 2/2 on tix collectn detail.

OMFG?

I totally forgotten about that contest which I had send 4 sms ($0.20) to try to win! I totally forgot the contest was on for 4 days and I had wanted to send 2 sms every day till the closing date, so I sent 4 only.

OH GOD OH GOD.

I think someone heard my prayers.

Although I can't meet him and take photo with him, at least I can get gala premiere premiums!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I was totally trembling with joy as I read that sms.

Anyway, the bad news came after that..

Boss decided to remove MSN :(
