Temperamental

I guess I am having my PMT. And my anger would flare easily by these things:

1) Taking me for granted
2) Lack of respect and manners like not giving a damn reply after I call or sms some people after a long time.
3) Ask me lame thing I cannot do, like example:

"Can you ask your friend XXXX to intro me gals. I hope to find a girlfriend."

What the hell? I'm not matchmaker hor. Why want to look for girls come find me?

Liew. What people taking me for?

You want to link up with my friends, its fine. But I ask you out, and you don't come out, then I'll always be wasting my effort trying to make a crowd. And I really got sick of mixing people becos' they are not showing interest so what's the point sometimes? It'll only irritate me.

Treasuring Those I Missed

As much as its important to treasure old times with your friends, its also important to find new moments to treasure your friend as to tell them you are not forgotten.

Cos' memories are the only things that will live forever =)

Today I went to a little gathering with my ex-secondary school classmates, although I initially thought it was a reunion with at least ten plus people. But still I am happy to see these three of my ex-classmates, Marcus, Kian Chong and Denise.

After work, I long pang Kian Chong's car and all of us headed to Clarke Quay to have our dinner. It wasn't part of a plan. There wasn't any plan in the first place after days of planning by mastermind Kian Chong.. Diaoz..

Even going to a place last minute, we were all undecisive. Cos' we were to celebate Marcus temporary return from Dubai and celebrate his birthday. We ended at Hot Stones where we had a good chat. Funnily, the meal was treated by Marcus, the birthday boy.

Oil splatters on my skin pain pain +.+

After that we headed to Demsey Road's Tanglin Village. There we went to a place call House.. something Camp. Its a cafe, spa and bar, but we went to the cafe of course. There we got some drinks and continued our chat (I ordered Hoegarden beer, lol).

Seems romantic but its kinda eerie too..

It was relaxing to chat there as the air is cool and nice, accompanied by nice ambient light from the candles and torches. But the best thing of all is to atch up with thse old friends, joke and laugh, reminise the past and hear about our future plans.

Marcus the birthday boy, and his birthday candle (but no cake!)

Really cool. Glad everyone is doing fine.

Kian Chong gave everyone a ride home after that. On the way, Marcus gave us a gift that brought back souvenirs from Dubai.

Seven sands from the seven emirates of the UAE.

How nice of him (cos' he's our class monitor, lol).

Men Men Bu Le..

Feeling a bit down today. Dunno if FRIEND is angry or PMSing again.

I know I was a bit too direct that her friend is most probably not coming back..

But its becos' I don't want her to have too much hope.. and then hopes dashed badly.

Hope Munny is fine too. She lost even more friends than FRIEND who met accident in that dragon boat incident in Cambodia.

Hope who ever is affected get up on their feet soon.

For me, its Sunday again.. I hate Sunday nite =(

Not to mention my whole Sunday was without activties when someone didn't organise the reunion outing and update everybody properly. KNS. Closed my Sunday schedule forit then its postponed again.

Evening I also went Suntec to get my marathon goodie bag, but cam home immediately after that. Damn bo liao. Heng Mum bought dinner home. If I buy dinner home myself and eat alone I feel more sad.

Sometimes I really hope someone can be by my side to cheer me up rite now..

Loves Chocolate =D

Went out for a date with Cute Agent Evon. Went to meet her up at Takashimaya Shopping Centre where she bought Royce chocolates for me, and irresistably bought for herself as well (well, that's what she said).

She got champagne dark chocolates for me and got herself cherry flavours.

She got herself a new haircut before our meet, and so I was the first guy honoured to be see her in her new hair. She said the cut was weird but I told her it look nice on her and was not weird at all.

After that, with her craving for sweet and desserts, I brought her to the Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar at the Esplanades Theatres, for a nice indulgence of chocolates. Along the way to the chocolate bar, I had fun with her making her guess what kind of Christmas present I might get for her.

We ordered a warm chocolate fondue with fruits and marshmellows. While enjoying our food, we had a nice chat and got to play with our food.

We also took photos. She requested censoring her face from the camera and so these were the outcome. Lol.

The fondue spread; Her face turns as sour as the strawberry >.<

Marshmellowed censoring face of Cute Agent!; Liew.. "Banana" face

~~~~~

After my date, I manage to get a ticket last minute to join Chee Wee, Shiling, Hong Yun, kelly, Huiyan and Alvin for the movie "Enchanted".

Got to share some Royce chocolates with them before they all melt.

The movie is definitely very funny with a lot singing, half-fantasy, half reality kind of stuff. Entertaining and fun to watch. Thumbs up!

I would wanna watch it again = )

Finishing Line in Sight

Finally my bi-monthly magazine issue is at least 90% completed and I could send them to the printer to help print colour proof prints for us to check. And that'll be on Monday.

And hopefully the colours are alright as I did make adjustments on all of them which I felt they needed. Hopefully don't hear my boss saying I didn't do my damn job, which will be totally bullsh*t to me.

My bosses felt its time to be more relax, so their srandards also got a bit chim chai.. making the strictness of quality before hand a bit no point.

Got to lunch with them at Sakae Sushi yesterday. It was a nice meal but I think its untimely cos' after that I had to chiong my work and work a little bit more OT as I was rushing to meet my FRIEND, the Cow, to get our Standard Chartered Marathon goodie bags together.

But in the end I was a bit too late. Didn't got my bag but I got to join the Cow, along with her friend, the Sheep, whose real name is Yang Yang, for dinner.

Got to tag along with them too to shop for birthday present for their common friend. I can click with the Sheep becos' he's quite lame as well, and he thinks like me. From what our creative industry needed, a union, to thinking that FRIEND's choic of a backpack bag looking like a tortoise shell, to choosing a bag for their friend. We both got the same ideas.

After that shopping, we went our separte ways. The Cow and Sheep went to their own homes. While the Bear intends to join the Witch to club.

As a Dancing Poley & I Can't Seem to Escape "You"



I can't seem to escape alcohol for just one week. But really, I don't dreally care bah. Since when I needed a drink, meant i needed a drink. So I don't really care.

Got to join Vel and her Facebook friends to club in Movida at St. James. Before that, I got to get Alex in St. James with my free entry card. But he never join us.

Movida is a nice place with Latino live, R&B mix and other classic Latin music. Pretty nice actually. Heard some popular Latin music.

Along with Vel's Facebook friends, Gabriel, Eric, Kenneth, James, Teck and Sharon, we had drinks and dance our night. They are really fun-loving, and their age range's difference are also quite here and there.

Sharon is the one who initiated the clubbing session I guess since she was the member who had her drinks there. Sharon, was a short and plain sweet-looking kind of gal, who looked like she's still in her twenties.. (But she's not, she's older than my sister =X ) But she's really nice and definitely not a shy person, really.

And I was at the dancefloor doing my thing. Vel came to dance with me. And I felt like a dancing pole. Lol. But heng she got a bigger pole somewhere. LOL.

Then Sharon came to dance with me, sticking to me closely whenever the rest of the guys try to stick to her and hold her. And when she stick to me, she would just lean on me. So I had to hold her waist to support her weight but then.. she would get my hands to hold her around her tummy.. (O.O)!

But anyway, since its just a dance, I just tagged along and dance with her.

Its an honour dancing with her for the age gap reason =D

Day by Day, Something is going to Disappear..

Another weekend has past. Nothing spectacular to my life these days. My only concern now is to survive through my working days hopefully without any misfortunes that might upset me with my work.

I'm psychologically volatile on that I may totally just fuck care my work so I hope nothing happens to me to make me do just that. For now I just want to do my work right and properly as the best as I always usually can.

Ultimately in the end, I prove that my integrity to my work remains true that I am still a professional person.

Everyone got their problems at work. But I chose to quit it becos' some people just don't trust me and its hard for me to introduce certain rules that could beneft everyone working in the long run.

FRIEND got her working woes too. That poor gal.. She got work piling up on her everyday from day till night, from office to home with hardly any sleep.

She certainly have a tougher job than mine and you can say mine's is less worth complaining for. But I can only say if I'm not focused and dedicated on my work, the problem wouldn't be big at all as I don't give a damn.

Fishball too has been having tough times since she got to be a shift leader. Being a leader is not easy when people's not following of course. She got to teach a new bird in her team and do her usual stuff which was heavy enough.

She's a leader chosen because she was the most experienced among her batch of people. Though relunctant, somehow she always got use to things. Its admirable in a way.

Being a leader takes twice or more the workload becos' you are managing people and people are the hardest resources to manage and organise.

I hope I can get use to the way things work too. But as I'm a progressive person, if things don't change for the better and everyone just get use the shit of it, then nothing is ever going to get better. The person is just going to suffer under the rotten system or environment.

I believe that appropriate changes can make lives better, even though changes are hard.

~~~~~

This weekend is pretty average. Nothing spectacular, except going out on Saturday night and had a KTV session with the west-sider guys plus Vel, then followed by Fishball who was in town at the same time but she didn't wanted to go home early for her rare off-day.

After that, we all decided to club together to have some dance and some drinks. It was really rare. The last time we went to club together was when I had a bottle in MoS.

Well, I guess it seems unavoidable that clubbing will be choice of activity when Fishball is around. Hmm... Fate I guess.

Anyway, the gathering was suppose to be for Junlong as he became bachelor unwillingly. Its rare to get him out on gatherings due to his F-up shift job and serious insomnia. A typical problem for people working shift.

And yet he was late for KTV becos' he was lost. We managed to persuade him to club but he doesn't really drink as he is totally non-alcoholic and worse, he's our chaffeur back home. So when Fishball got everyone into the drinking game, I had to protect the dude as much as possible.

The only other drinkers other than me that could tank alcohol were Chee Wee and Fishball. Alvin is an average drinker who drank more on the condition on "Be a man", that kind of ego.

For the dance, I just got to dance on my own simply becos' I drank fast and I knew I was on the high. I couldn't even remember Fishball took a picture with her new semi-pro camera with flashlight.

And that's scary. Especially when I know I was not drunk and I was as high as I am typically is.

Well, at least nothing everybody else is happier than I am. That's good enough for me.

(And damn. I just can't get myself not to drink alcohol for just one weekend, with or without clubbing =.= )

One More Vindication To Throw Letter!

Though I was planning to change job early next year. I wasn't really bend on quitting for a whole month plus already, becos' I thought my bosses' bossy attitude that "I'm the f**king boss" attitude have changed for the btter..

No..

But something happened today yet again to prove that "ci ti bu yu jiu liu" (a place that I shouldn't linger around more).

I suffered an injustice at work today. All I hope is that my bosses would leave me a message about what particular resources are coming in, especially into the thumb drive, where it is as we have a lot of folders and subfolders, at least 15 main folders, and umpteen subfolders in them.

But they expect me to search one folder by one folder, to find new images and waste my time, when they didn't tell me exactly what's coming in for a general products feature page, where content is updated one by one according to brands. Its not diffcult to just leave a message or a note of what coming in.

How can they say there are new images in and I don't know where in which particular folder and what is it for? And they say, "Just check all what is inside?".

Worse is I hate that bloody bossy attitude when I'm just discussing about this working issue, my boss tells me, "We're the boss, just do what we tell you what to do!"

What is this?! Accusing me of insubordination?

Yeah, you may be the boss, but you're also my co-worker giving me all the nuts and bolts I needed for my work! God, damn it why does this fool don't change his attitude after so many bloody months!

I don't blame my lady boss that she doesn't like what I requested on my email which is ONLY just informing me what resources are coming in and WHERE in the thumbdrive. She overreacted because I know she got a lot of things to do. I don't see its difficult to write notes or send message just telling me which folder. Not simple?

If you wonder why there are problems and I couldn't tell and resolved them with my bosses. This is why, cos' whatever I told them, they would treat it as defiance to their orders, even when I say, "Ok boss. Your idea is good but blah blah blah, maybe we should do blah blah blah, so that we can blah blah blah."

If this kind of commnication is not good enough that I don't offend them somehow, I don't see how am I going to say my out the problems I have in work in the future.

But who is that idiot who is scolding me when he is basically doing nothing productive to the production of the magazine most of the past few days, walking in and out of his room, going into my lady boss' office sitting down, in his office chatting with client (not serious business talks) and walking here and there then near my table drinking coffee?!

My boss! Bloody mask man. Someone better burn his moustache cos' it doesn't look good at him at all! Its a mask!

I just want to do my work progressively and smoothly, why is there this idiot in the company who don't understand what I am driving at?

I'm trying to make everyone's life easier by ensuring all our work processes go smoothly as possible. If I don't make sure I don't hiccup, problems will come and in the end everyone will be affected. Isn't this important when I'm the one doing the core production work?

Which worker had to take threats from boss and I have to be expected to be on standby throughout my production period and expected to cancel my dates, work last minute over-times without informing me. My production last six to seven weeks per 2 months of a bi-monthly magazine! I'm not expendable you know!

*RAWR!*

Time Flies >>>

When you didn't notice the time, it sure flies. Been busy these days. Today was on of those. Worked non-stop from morning till evening with a bit of OT. Concentrating on my work all the way without noticing the time.

Kinda scary when you know you have to complete all your work before much but looking at it, it doesn't seem to be. There's an invisble deadline that was never stated. Even if it is stated, my guess is that it'll always be deferred as in the past.

Its been almost a year since I ORD, bum around, found a job, got fired, got odd jobs here and there and finally landed on my current job which I managed to survive about 8 months already.

Frankly speaking, this 8 months feel like two years simpl becos' I learn a lot on my own. No one really taught me what or how to do. Technically I'm on my own. When people got on my nerves and at times really tough on me, I almost quitted if you all knew.

And now, I realised, I'm not exactly LOVING this job. I love challanges with breakthrough. But this job don't have it. The breakthrough I feel is not always there. Maybe becos' I'm radical in my deisgn while my magazine is conservative and too serious for me. The worse things is to psycho bosses over technically issues which I solved and resolved again and again every darn two months. Sickening.

It might be sounding I'm grumbling about my work, but I'm stating facts. I guess the the only person who will agreed with me is my predecessor deisgner, Loren. But at least I am doing better than her, rather then totally adhering to the absoulte rule before, now I do have some "creative powers" in hand. But it is still definitely not enough for my hunger.

Straightly, for me, I nvere really looked for a new job before. It seems to me that jobs come to me, with my friends reffering them to me. I'm blessed in a certain way I guessed.

And a new opportunity has finally opened for me. And the person who gave me this opportunity must be an angel from God. She always helped me looked for jobs or get jobs. Looks like this time, I'm gonna be under her yet again, which I am glad to.

And this feast will be ended and I'll be better off somewhere with greater time, joy, satisfaction in sense and materials =D

Happy that I got the news from her, its as good as confirmation. Even better, I would be leaving this feast earlier than expected! Yeh!

Smart Quote

Found this quote from my cousin's profile.

"It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.” ~ Albert Einstein



Hope can find some ultimate formula following his "stupid" quote bah. Lol.

I have always admired this brilliant scientist. Not just that he's brilliant in science, he's also brilliant in spiritual and humanity awareness of his own discovery, of what he was able to do.

He wasn't born a genius, but I guess he's a great fighter in his own life. He's also a great lover too. Einstein rocks.

Death in a Bottle



The Valentine Day's gift that never made its way..

A New Day.. Everyday. *Sigh*

Well.. Its a new day again and I can't say I'm really motivated to head for work.

Why?

Looking at how my bosses do their work, which adversely affected me on my job, I can only say I'm disappointed.

Resources are not organised and grouped properly before passing down to me. Imagine you have to download a file one by one, email by email, renaming the file or organisation purposed. One emailed image cost me 2 to 5 minutes depending on the requirements. Imagine I had 10 images and among it, other stuff to do.

Improper resources passing down can cost me about an hour.

My boss surprised me disappointingly when I got the chance to remind him we got two empty pages free for feature. He was like, "Oh ya hor.. Still got 2 empty pages." I don't think I expected that from my "great" leader you know..

Anyway, hope today I'll go through smoothly.

I got nothing to look forward to these days. Just wanna finish this issue of the magazine.

What A Long~ Weekend

A seemingly long weekend but I don't feel satisfied with it. Cos' I am not laughing and having great fun with those things I wanted to enjoy with as I didn't manage to do the things I wanted to do with my dear friends this weekend =(

Had to cancel and postpone my catch-up date with Linda due to my crappy OT on Saturday and cancel my windsurfing date today with FRIEND becos' she gotta work.

Haiz.. Though I managed to go out on this both days, which are both group activities, going Holland V Settlers for boardgaming on Saturday night and watch movie, "The Game Plan", just now, I just feel that I'm there to be there, just to pass time..

On last Thursday, I went for a family BBQ with my aunt's family at Down Town East.



It was pretty good becos' I can catch up with my elder cousins, my aunt and my uncles but sadly, my immdeiately family wasn't there, not even my cousins living near there in Tampines had the heart to be there either. Haiz..

On Friday, I wasn't really in the mood to work. As work progress is really draggy, I am expected to be on stand-by all the time.. End of the day, I was pretty tired as well as I did quite an amount of work.

After work, I went out with June and Alex for dinner at Bugis, and later chill-out at Villa Bali bar place at Gilman Village. Villa Bali is a nice place, and there we had some fruit wine and beer. I didn't speak much for the whole day, cos' I'm not really in the mood to due to tiredness..

After I went home, I couldn't sleep very well.. I shut my eyes but my mind is just thinking..

In the end, I slept for only 2 hours and then I woke up early to head for work, earlier than what my boss expected. Cos' I wanted to finish my work faster so I could afford time to meet Linda instead of starting my OT session at 1pm.

But sadly, I forgot, I was suppose to meet Linda at 11pm cos' she had booked the time for some foot detoxification seesion with me then. Other time, she's not free. So we postpone our meet. Sigh..

At night for Saturday, I went to meet my gang for boardgames at Settlers. Its was quite fun. We had nine people in total playing; they are Shiling, Chee Wee, Hong Yun, Kelly, Huiyan, Alvin, Li Shan, Johnson and me.

They must be crazy. They went Settler the day before and they came again. Nutz.

For the movie today, it was a good movie. Before the movie, I decided to go for my haircut at Jean Yip Hair salon. I was serviced by Nicole and she introduced me the hair treatment as well. Thoguh initially I was relunctant to do the hair treament as cost was a concern, thinking again, I realised my hair is really oily, thin and its itchy at time when it gets oily, and my hair drops quite alot.

So I took the O3 hair treatment at $88.

She first gave a hair wash and then gave me a herbal essence rub amd massage on my head which woke me up from my sleepy looks.

Next she put me on this machine with flush my head in supposely the oxegenation treament.



For a moment, I feel I look like a Dragon Ball Z alien character. But after the whole thing and then followed by another hair wash, I feel my hair really great.

After a haircut, I feel even better. Hopefully my hair would be good that way.

Spoil myself abit before the working stress times come.

What is True Love

He is True Love.

He shares your pain by reaching you with the hearts of both of His palms,
and sinks Himself into the most painful thing of your life.
He wears the most thorny issues problems of your mind.
He walks and carries with your heaviest compleXity of your heart.

My Lord is with me.

Rushz Werkz

Day by day, I'm playing survivor with my work.

Everyday what was on my mind was work, and that mental preparation of having to be on stand-by for OT, whether it is there or not. Thinking too much? I can only say its some kind of mental responsibility.

Yesterday there's quite a lot of work to do BUT they were mostly the tasks I did again and again and again.. So sickening. Totally no mood to do them. Did even have the mood to chat with people online MSN. But still sometimes, I got a bit sian so I went to surf net abit, listen to music.

I was basically using anger to deal with my work yesterday. Unhealthy? Yeh it is. But its one way to get things done.

Imagine one task I have to re-do it several times, up to eight times when my bosses just don't seem to like those layouts I did in their perspective.

They could simply overthrow my layout design when I spent about an hour on it, and they "solved" it within 10 minutes of work. Their designs suddenly became simple and conservative again. Yet, sometimes they want design layouts to be daring.. Just don't get what people are thinking sometimes.. Too tired to convince or prove what they actually want.

But still it get me quite pissed when my work is rejected one-way or the other.

Especially those work were done nicely, then rejected, and I gotta spend time re-doing, while those precious time can be used on incoming new work tasks that still needs to be done. I'm not saying to give up on the quality needs, but that can be done on a different time phase, where effort and mind is better concentrated.

Being moody, I don't really like to do OT yesterday, especially when its a holiday eve, but luckily, I only need to do an hour of OT.

Thank God!

~~~~~

Going to run or exercise at about 4pm later, a reminder that I'm getting fat!

Can go meet my cousins later at chalet in the evening. These are the cousins and family I don't usually see. Its good to see them again after my Sis' wedding = )

Mr. Right

往往许多人在抉择伴侣时，容易东想西想，不知所措，就是因为害怕一时做错决定，看错人,造成终生的遗憾。
诺贝尔文学奖得主萧伯纳说：此时此刻在地球上，约有两万个人适合当你的人生伴侣，就看你先遇到哪一个.
如果在第二个理想伴侣出现之前，你已经跟前一个人发展出相知相惜、互相信赖的深层关系，那后者就会变成你的好朋友.
但是若你跟前一个人没有培养出深层关系，感情就容易动摇、变心，直到你与这些理想伴侣候选人的其中一位拥有稳固的深情，才是幸福的开始，漂泊的结束……
爱上一个人不需要靠努力，只需要靠「际遇」，是上天的安排，但是「持续地爱一个人」就要靠「努力」，在爱情的经营中，顺畅运转的要素是沟通、体谅、包容与自制(面临诱惑有所自制)。
有许多人总是为「际遇」所迷惑与苦恼，意念 不停、欲念不断、争逐不散，而忘了培养经营感情的能力才是幸福的关键
所以不要去追问到底谁才是我的Mr.Right，而是要问说在眼前的伴侣关系中,我能努力到什么程度、成长到什么程度，若没有培养出经营幸福的能力，就算真的 Mr.Right出现在你身边，幸福依然会错过的，而活在犹疑与遗憾当中，这不就是许多「爱情虚无症」的遭遇与心态吗？
所以萧伯纳的话，是要提醒情人不要太钻牛角尖于寻觅那唯一，应该把精神用在学会经营幸福的能力上，同时也提醒我们「溺水三千只取一瓢饮」若有幸遇到了难得的伴侣，就不要再三心二意了，因为我们永远不知道一生何时会遇到两万个其中的几个，所以要知福惜福、活在当下.
在感情对待中，难免有摩擦与无心的伤害，而且论得罪自己的次数累加起来最多的人，当然是跟我们在一起最久、最亲近的人。
而新欢呢，又还没开始有得罪你的机会，再加上他的刻意讨好，所以新欢怎么看怎么可爱，旧爱怎么看怎么讨厌 .
但别忘了，新欢身上总是有不确定的未知数，旧爱身上就是有难得的熟悉感、确定感、信赖感。千万不要随便在偶然的「际遇」中迷失了自己，错放了幸福温暖的手。
若你此刻已有一位长久相伴的伴侣，不要再随便三心二意地犹疑了，我们往往不易察觉感情中的一个陷阱，就是「近亲生慢侮」，也就是经济学中的铁律「边际效益递减法则」越久的人，就越容易忽视，而新鲜的「际遇」总是那么
动人可爱

Cheering Up = )

These days, I have to going through mental suffering by preparing my mindset for after working hours over-time, but yet no work was passed down to me.

Not working OT may seems fine but definitely, work will accumulate in the near future into a compact time, which I don't like because not only it'll be stressful, it'll create a lot of tensions at work one way or the other. Tried it before, hate to go through the same shitty scenario again.

Well, since I have no OT.. The best way to do now is to go home and rest and relax while wait for that pile of shit to come..

And to get my mind off worrying too much, I got to chat with FRIEND over the phone about happier things like our coming windsurfing session, running, jian fei (slimming down) and others.

After that, I chat with Maki on MSN about Sun Yanzi (we're both Yanzi fans) and photoshop digital make-up. I even tried doing some digital makeover on Maki picture on her request. Lol, it was so funny as some were ugly to my amusement but some were nice.

Finally I did super-imposition of her trying to mimic Yanzi in a natural happy pose on the beach into that of Yanzi's picture doing almost the same pose.

Lol. She look so "extra".

Nightmare..

Kanna a nightmare last night.. Hate it..

Woke up not in cold sweat but in tears..

I am absconding.. Cos' I am asked to if its happening again..

Happy Sunday ^^

I went out with FRIEND today for a day of windsurfing.

Feeling wonderful that I have such a happy ending for my weekend before I prepare for the worse incoming flow of work heading for me next week.

We started to meet at Changi Airport where I had my lunch at Burger King while I passed her her goodie bag of 5 gifts I bought here at Bangkok and Singapore. It consitis of a simple cloth handbag, a wrist-resting plushie pink piggy, a shirt for her dog with "Buddy" name and pictures of bears on it, a growing-up chart (lol) and cute clips for her to clip memos.

Of course, to see buddy being very happy to receive her gifts, it made me happy.

After that we took a bus from Changi to East Coast where we start our windsurfing session.

The windsurfing has been great for both of us as we didn't have the time to windsurf till now, and it was the first time we tried windsurfing together. This was my third time.

But I can't say I really improved on my skills as I stopped for quite a while since my last windsurf which was the training course itself. I didn't quite remember how to steer with the wind. But got a bit of steering pretty smooth for the port side.

For FRIEND, it was her fifth or sixth time windsurfing already. She balance well better than me and know what she's doing. But becos' its the monsoon season, the winds are too strong for us.

For the first , me and FRIEND got blown far from our starting beach and were two or three beaches down.. We couldn't windsurf back and had to be ride in a dingy boat but the rescue crewman. Lol.

Becos the winds were so strong, I spend a lot of energy balancing and trying to capture the wind to surf. Pretty tiring. Dropped into the sea several times I drank quite a lot of seawater. Once the rescue crewman got me back to the starting beach, I went to drink more fresh water as seawater made be dehydrated.

After my drink, I went for more surf. That was the time when I did a couple of turining smoothly, but after that, the sudden change in the winds got so strong, I was pretty much stranded in the seawaters for almost 15 minutes.

I was 100 metres from the nearest beach.

I couldn't even stand on my surfboard to attempt to surf back to the starting beach as the waters were really very choppy. Its a bit scary, as it iss like the feeling stuck in a storm except there's no heavy rain. The winds were so strong, water actually splash bits of droplets into my face.

The pros were having their fun in the strong winds, but many rookies including me were blown away from the starting beach two to three beaches down. I was so trying to keep myself and my board from being blown further down one more beach as I tried swiiming myself altogether to the second beach down.

I managed to swim nearer to the second beach away from the open sea. But by then I was bloody tired and I was having cramp on my right leg. Thankfully, a friendly ang mo named Walter helped me to surf my sail back to the beach while I swam back.

I was exhausted by then. And I can see other rookies nearby with me. I guess they're feeling the same thing as me. They were in the same condition as long as me. Lol.

God, when I say "Let me float away" on my MSN, You don't have to literally do that to me you know. Lol.

Luckily, FRIEND was safely at the starting beach by herself as she managed to surf back after the rescue crewman took her nearer to the starting beach area to surf.

The rest was all packing up. Lol. My board was far to take back but luckily there were some rokkies from NUS helping us to take back my board along the way.

After the windsurfing, we took a bus to Suntec City, where we had our dinner at foodcourt. After, we walked to Bugis' Seach Street to have the famous Ah Qiu Desserts.

After that, it was shopping time. As usual we walked all over the Bugis Street Village to shop.

FRIEND had a fun time shopping for her clothes and so did I enjoying my time to accompanying her and giving her some advises = )

I also managed to get a casual wear jacket for myself, for the cold in my office as well as for a slightly more formal wear if I got to go for events again in a T-shirt, so I can wear it over my T-shirt. This is better instead of having to dress up formal shirts sometimes which can be quite a hassle if I am going for work that day.

Hah.. So happy. Can rest in peace now.

Its time to fight. For the next week's wave of work.

~~~~~

Oh, one more happy thing. While FRIEND and I were window shopping at a shop in Suntec City, I saw a mini-rocking horse. I told FRIEND that I'll buy it for my niece or nephew when I have one.

Lol. Looks like I got to start budgeting for that buy. Haha.

Mum received a call from my sis and bro-in-law that my sis is pregnant, I got to hear the new while eavesdropping on another phone cos' I was suspecting this when my bro-in-law called in suddenly to call on my parents.

I'm damn smart eh?

Congrats to my sis and bro-in-law.

The plus point is the new additonal family member is going to be a RAT as well. Lol.

Sinful Night..



Just came back from a nice cafe with nice ambience called PS Cafe. Its located in the up area off Demsey Road's Tanglin Village. There was the usual gang that went to Junlong's birthday on Friday night, minus Junlong and plus Huiyan.

The PS cafe is so well-hidden in shrubs, we almost couldn't find it without Bryan guiding us as the whole village is pretty much a dark place only lited by busy cars passing by with their headlights.

As for the the cafe's cakes, they were nice to eat and very sinful with sweetness. But A bit sick of it as the serving is pretty big itself. And that's when we started playing the "Unltimate Number" game so the one who kanna the mystery number eats the leftovers which were still a lot combined by all the 8 people there.

*Burp*

Thinking about cutting down my 7 kg gained weight by starting to practice running tomorrow for my marathon =.=

We went there after watching the movie which I voted against to watch at first (but no choice becos' the rest wanted to watch), "The Seeker", at the Orchard Cineleisure.

A total waste of money. It's like watching Power Ranger the movie..

Anyway, Tanglin Village is a cool place for those who love the hip, style and relaxing chill-outs as its a quiet and isolated haven unlike any part of the rest of the Singapore. There have plenty of nice cafes, restaurants and shops.

Lucky night. I saw stars again. So bright and beautiful.

I wonder why I am so obsessed with stars again recently.

Maybe I'm looking for hope.

Merry Birthday

Unescapable alcohol every weekend! (Tequila from Chee Wee & Absolut Vodka = 50%alcohol = by me)

Went to celebrate Junlong's birthday yesterday evening, with a surprise entry into his home with a birthday cake lighted.

Most of his closest friends were there; Chee Wee, Hong Yun, Alvin, me, even long time no see Bryan came all the way from Punggol, and along with the girls, Shiling and Kelly; all came to celebrate his birthday.

This poor friend of us has been "isolated" for so long (we did not isolate him, he was isolated by circumstances), that we never seen him for months even we lived nearby. We just hope he could survive another one month on his fug up job, get his hard-earned bonus and leave. We all think this job is one of the screwed up in his life, as its inconsistent shift work, worse, he already got insomnia.

Apart from celebrating, we also took the chance to share and advise on his very rocky relationship, which even tired him out mentally. The disparities between him and his girlfriend consist of so many factors, from age, to financial income, and to attitude towards relationship, and even their timing to date were all pretty mismatched.

We told him put down his relationship for a while since its tiring him out when we see he's putting herculean effort trying to keep his relationship work. But it seems to all of us the problem doesn't lie with him.

Told him to drink and merry, and go to sleep well, and hope he don't think so much about problems he can't solve alone.

Another Day..

I guessed I was really tired last night. Even though I wanted to wake up and do more things, my body was just too tired for me to command to wake up after I said it was only a nap.

Back to work again. I hope I don't have to sigh but I do feel a bit sian. Work tasks that are done are move to future issues. But they're so nice! Now, I have to do more work as my bosses are looking into new articles to replace those moved to future issues.

Bah. All these are unavoidable bah as we're trying to make money.

I can do my best as long as my boss don't niao me. It got a negative effect on me.

Receive my Reader's Digest Sweepstakes final confirmation entry, and I'm going to reply yes. Hope I heng heng get something big enough so I do not need to work for a few months =P

Never!

Never go clubbing on a weekday! Even though its Halloween.

Its suppose to be a chill-out. Become clubbing. Ended home at this time blog posted.

Went to the wine bar where Kee Siong worked part-time at Robertson Quay, had drinks and we're just chatting, where he's picking up a couple of wines for his full-time.

Ended going MoS but it was not so happening so we shifted back O Bar or dbl O.

I still say I hate dbl O. Dunno why.

Only four hours of precious sleep left. Going to show some fresh design boss when I work for the day.

Stressed? Its every time. Going nutz, Level 1.
