Didn't realise it's two weeks

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, lil edgy here dere

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Ricola Herb Sweet / Lipton Tea

Actually there hasn't been a lot apart from the NDP preview that I've watched thanks to Pat. Watched it with her bf Lawrence and also Rykiel (in case you forgot) my classmate. Looking at things, I am looking forward at a time when I really see a "happily ever after" between Lawrence and Pat. It has been sometime, but better late than never.

Also had been preparing Michelle (pingguo)'s video...haha of which I am still owing another Michelle (GSK)'s video...I know I'm so guilty of it, but I'm really doing much as I could, bearing the fact it has really been a hella year for me...hope things will get better!

Pingguo will be leaving Singapore for the USA at the end of the month and I will be doing all I could to make the the video is up...and well, not to forget I have to prep Pat's present as well...hahaha...gonna be a week for me! Furthermore studies are restarting again, and it's ASP.NET for me! Rock my world...hoooooo~~~~~ (does the Hard Gay Shake)

Now what else...for the past weekend I went Dragonfly to celebrate Pat's bday...ended up having a hangover the next day...hahaha...so many things along the way, I'll write more in detail as time goes by...

Oh yeah almost forgot, Singapore got her first Olympic medal after 48 years! Though many people don't like the idea of China Chinese helping us to get the medal, and though many people don't agree with our Mr Lee, I have to emphasize one thing in Singapore that people can "oh so talk about but never seriously think"...

"You need someone to do the work you don't/can't do." Think rubbish collecting. Think dishwashing. Think cleaning the streets. And of cos, think Table Tennis. You get the drift, I have my views.

Lastly, it's really Serenity I hope for.

Last Monday for July

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine

[CuRRent Song:] No song

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Bah Chor Mee / Pearl Milk Tea

I guess through this weekend I did make a few quick decisions; whether I'll stick to it is another matter.

1) may not club unless the correct company is around
2) disappointment of a particular person made me quite confirmed there is zero chemistry

The first point came about on saturday nite when I met up wif Pat and also Orange. Had not caught up wif the latter for quite some time so I figured it might just be a good time to do so. The night had not ended for Dbl O and I left home due to reasons...

1) worried about my assignment
2) couplehoods in the air (Pat and Lawrence, Orange and Ben)
3) mood affected by a particular message from someone

Don't be mistaken; in fact I'm very very glad that Pat had found her special someone and that Orange and Ben had got so much closer from my previous impression...it's me to have sensed it so I think I'm right about it. But I guess with such things to occur (add on the fact I had ZERO dance partners for the night), I did feel a lil left out in the proceedings. Maybe it's just overall matters that made me felt that way, I decided to make a trip back home instead just to see if there's anyone online for me to chat with.

Nope.

About the second point, I believe in my previous post I mentioned about NDP blablabla...ended up Pat told me the NDP thingie was just nothing but airshows - no fireworks, no marching stuff...which is really kinda bull to say the least. Initially I got the news, I told Rykiel (who wanted to watch NDP, but actually fireworks in particular) and she was happy and we arranged to be out on saturday...so when I told her the news, she just said she's going to join her mum for shopping. Sounds okay eh. Yeap.

On thinking back of the countless times of aeroplanes, I think I had enough. Convinced it's zero chemistry.

So on thinking, I've outlived my usefulness. Haha. Tired a lil, don't I myself think so?

Probably.

Silence...in the crowd

[CuRRent MooD:] Cold, calm, confused, tired, patient...

[CuRRent Song:] No song

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Milo

Maybe it's more like calm in confusion. Haha.

Nothing much of an update, I'm going for an NDP rehearsal over the weekend. How long have I not been for such things, I wonder? Oh yea...army days I've been so...ehm probably 5 years apart or something...I remember it was during the SARS period and I was in those thermal scan containers to check if visitors' had exceed a certain temperature to be under the risk for SARS symptoms. We had a lot of rehearsals and till to the last day, Singapore was declared SARS free!!! LOL...felt our rehearsals had gone to a waste so we ended up marshalling instead...but we managed to get ourselves to the top of National Stadium which was quite a view...something lucky, perhaps?

Workwise, my first site in charge is more or less about to be fully functional, with bits and purposes off-plan but nevertheless not of heavy impact. Had to appreciate all the help I get on site and from my colleagues and supervisor. Of course, my employment status issue still lingers, and I really have to find a chance to talk to my supervisor about it - no AWS for 2 years sucks!!!

Yeah that's just it...for now. Oh well. *shrugs

Michelle's leaving for the US soon.

[CuRRent MooD:] In thought

[CuRRent Song:] Torence Holler - Dance Into Your Fire (SEB 156)

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Unknown leaves ' tea

Just saw Michelle online and her nick. Yeap, she's leaving Singapore in about a month's time for an approximate 2 years.

Brings me a silence within. What, 2 years???

It just meant I can't see her physically as I want, even as much I wanted to. It means timezone differences and adjustments be made. It means we are lesser a call or sms away, though it is still possible in theory.

Yeah I know she's married to a nice husband, and her new family will take care of her. But well, who can deny this kor who often tries his best to be by her side helping her to worry, to think more?

Oh well, time will come to pass and it will be a month soon.

It will be soon.

The Power of Asset Management

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, quite fine =)

[CuRRent Song:] Giacomo Caria - Light My Fire (SEB 155)

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Western Chow's Chicken Chop / Unknown leaves' tea brewed by mum

Before I begin, maybe some might wonder "when did Luke become a fund manager or some sort? Thought he has always been that IT geek?"

No no...I won't call myself an IT geek with this entry, but it's not the usual asset management that we listen about here and there. I'm going to talk about Human Asset(s) Management.

Get it now?

This post is inspired by a meetup with Virneige (Christina) today over at my workplace area. I went thru her blog yesterday and found that she's working in my area...only that it's the last day today! Well due to nice and good luck, we did manage to meet up and we went Creative to take lunch.

Wrong choice of food - took the bland Laksa for lunch (well, it's better than Atrium's)...then figure it's a bit early to go back given the fact we have not met over a long period of time. A quick thought and off we were to TCC (The Coffee Connoisseur) for lunch part 2.

It was a slightly better lunch as I ordered Pizza Baguette, then we went on chatting about life, about jobs in general. She talked about the few job interviews she went and work places, and which one she preferred for the past year so far. So then it goes...

...we were talking about interviews when she mentioned about this cab which was supposed to go to Toa Payoh but ended up going the west side.

All because (ok we believe so really) of Christina's most admirable and obvious assets! Here's the small episode...

Chris flags cab, cabbie stops.

Chris: "Uncle, I wanna go xxx" (I forgot exactly where but it's out of place)
Cabbie: "Sorry, I going Toa Payoh"
Chris: "Uncle...please..." (somehow for some unknown reason she bent down a little, bring some bits of her assets in glory)
Cabbie: (glances at her direction) "Oh ok, hop in!"

Wow, talking about Assets returning dividends!

Chris reaches her destination, then gives the money. Uncle returns change while bending in such an angle which probably make us think the safety belt has reached its limit. While Chris keeps the change, the uncle could still come up with "Okay? Is the change correct?" which looking at her...

The power of Assets.

On an occasion or two in her new workplace (she's in IT line so a lot of times it's like 90% males) she will be introduced to her colleagues and those guys, so engrossed in their tablework, suddenly beamed a smile and faces lit up once they see Chris! That was so funny when Chris was describing about it! Chris just seems to be a walking Sun, beaming up everyone!

And on another occasion, she went for an interview. There was this interviewer (lady) and another guy, probably a manager or something (guy). So Chris will look at the lady during the interview (respect ma, nothing wrong) but the interviewer was like looking at her face...then sometimes the eyes will look down to Chris' proud assets...den look back...and forth...it was like WTF!!! LOL...while the manager will be like looking elsewhere but actually using the corner of his eyes to glance at Chris...LOL

So I came up with this silly situation after the interview...

Manager: (talking to interviewer) "Hey, did you notice if she is wearing specs?"
Interviewer: "Eh no, actually I didn't notice"

Wahahahahahaha....

Oh yea, talked so much, maybe some might wanna know the "secrets" of Chris' successful Asset Management! She was telling me how she loved to eat papayas while she was young, she wants her daughter next time to invest in Asset Management by drinking papaya soup! Then nowadays she just drinks milk and maybe some form of exercise? Hahaha...so the formula should be...

1) young, drink papaya, eat papaya
2) older a bit drink milk to maintain
3) and exercise...but that one the details I dunno...so you may wanna check out my links and ask her yourself...:P

In an alternative form of Asset Management, knowing what your assets are is pretty important. Apart from the admirable pair of cushions in front, other greats assets include the eyes, the lips and many many more! It just depends on how assets are being maintained and utilised to fullest ability!

Just so happens I got to know a new facebook friend that have quite nice eyes, she can even charm 55 year old ah-pehs lor...power rite! ;)

Gonna end the topic of Asset Management for now. When I have more, I'll be back.

Michelle's all grown up

[CuRRent MooD:] Emo

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Pokka Peach tea

I guess the main emotional thing for the week (maybe the month) will be Michelle's ROM. Actually it has been such an emotional high, I am not sure on what to say now! :P Seeing her in the gown (not a wedding gown to be exact but it's for such occasions) and going thru the solemnization made me breathe hard for many moments, and the bad thing is that my phone does a bad job recording videos...zzz

She is simply beautiful for the day (no I meant she's exceptionally beautiful), it brought me backwards to the past about how she'd grown up.

Seeing her from her sec sch days, time really flies so fast it's hard to imagine it's like 5 years or so...now seeing her married really brought a lot of thoughts in my mind...like how we got to know each other from IRC and eventually we still are godsiblings, forever and ever. Guess this is how life is, marvelous in ways and another.

As what I said, I can only wish the best for her.

I have not updated any post of my first ever relaxed overnight overseas trip to KL! Will update soon!

A rainy day at Jurong Island

[CuRRent MooD:] Rainy

[CuRRent Song:] VA - Eurodance 23 2008

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Milo

Just a random post since it has been quite some time I've blogged. Oh well, I guess there ain't that much incentive to blog nowadays as viewership has gradually dropped to a low (or maybe that's because I don't blog)...hahhaa so who notices this entry anyway?

It's a rainy day at Jurong Island, and maybe that speaks for my mood as well. My close ones will know the usual dilemma I go through, and even though I want to solve problems and get things going, sometimes that's not how life decides for you.

There's a lot of "I know I should have done this" but well, when you miss that moment to do it, it will cause quite a bit of upheaval once it comes back to visit. And yeah, I can see that. But I think I look for my own problems. Haha.

Till next post...

Two months...no updates?

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, little headache that went on/off for 2 weeks over

[CuRRent Song:] No Song

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Pokka Lemon 1000 Juice Drink

To say I'm too busy updating...ehm that's too much. I think I'm lazy, yeah I'm lazy. Else what can I say? I find time to Maple (I'm at Level 105), find time to play old games (Der Langrisser), find time for studies, going out with frens, get myself drunk...and the endless actions that I do while I still can.

All of a sudden I sound so old eh? Haha...this came as a small reminder when Sujun was telling me about Michelle and Huimei's conversation as the latter commented on Michelle's dressing at work and she was startled she had to go home to get changed. Oh well...I believe her dressing is okay (since SJ did not make a big thing of it) and why would you bother too much while you're still young? Do you have to wait till you're older to realise you wanna wear like the young? That will be a little too late, isn't it? Like what I always hold my views to ladies with assets - if you have it, just flaunt it! Don't take me as though I don't care - I applied that to my first gf as well...because I know that it takes confidence to flaunt and always be certain that it's appreciated.

My recent update says that Michelle's not changing probably. WAHAHAHHAA...cos she kapo-ed Huimei's cardi and wear...hahaha so it still did not beat my point :P

Another thing reflecting past and present is about studies. I'm marvelled at what the will to study can do to oneself. Looking on the examinations that I took, I always thought I could've failed if not for all the study groups that I've conducted - look, when was I so hardworking when I was in poly or sec sch days??? I guess this attributes to the paying factor - that I'm actually paying for my own school fees and wouldn't like to waste money compared to those days which my parents paid for me. True, it sounds like I'm so idiot to waste their money but well, young ma dunno things...now then know money hard to earn...easy to spend!!! Hahaha...so a word to those Poly/Uni students who use parents' CPF to study...MUST STUDY HARD, COS IT'S YOUR MONEY!!! (students need pay back to their parents after they finish studying)

Things at workplace has been fine, sometimes rushing a few quick stuff in order to make people happy...oh well it's a relationship-based company so there's not much I can say isn't it? Hahaha...I just hope they will consider to convert me quickly cos I really cannot stand the pathetic 6 days of leave they give under the contract terms...force me to take MC sia...:P

It's a week study break for me, studying be back on 30th of this month...heard we gonna touch on Oracle...what, another database? It was database that ruined me in my poly days and I'm trying hard not to repeat that...so hopefully I'll pull this one off...with my study grouping, I don't see why I cannot beat all these exams!!! WAHAHAHAHA...*siao liao*

I guess my life in a general state of mind (logical mind) is fine...only my personal life gets screwed and stuff...but oh well, so long I stay sane (which I think so far so good)...I should be able to make my life pass...

...not fail, pass. Haha...

P.S. Yeah! An update!

Long time eh?

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine

[CuRRent Song:] None - Aircon silent remix

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] KFC

By the time I blog this, it's about the end of CNY already...but nevertheless, happy CNY to all...hahaha

This year's CNY relative visits are not much different, just that I get to see a cousin I've not seen for 2 years (and yeah, knew how to decor herself to look pretty liao - 女大十八变) and my niece (cousin's daughter) already budding into a pretty young cutie! But then she rather shy...unlike my other cousin's daughter who is very adventurous!

My frens as visitors however, is a little disappointing in numbers but the company counts - so I have the following this year:

Celena
Brad (Cellie's bf)
Isabelle
Patricia
Benjamin (the chrysantamum-giver)
'Monica' (dunno her real english name)

Isabelle asked me an out-of-the-blue question which I didn't manage to reply immediately (cos her cab came) but I did give an answer eventually:

Q: How did you (me) feel when you saw Celena and her bf the first time?
A: Like that lor. The time lapse between the time when Celena and I not seen each other (which was around VDay 2007) and the time I saw Celena and Brad personally is really too wide to have any immediate feeling. So I think I'm really ok.

Which is pretty true for a try, I'm not lying in that aspect. The real hit was when I got to know about them being together, which was pretty fortunate I did not see them physically during that period of time.

The thing that I'm not able to accept is not that fact they are together; it's about the fact she said she wanted to concentrate on her career and not think about BGR, but ended up being with him. As a matter of fact, I was rather pissed and furious at that time it made me wonder if we ever did have feelings in the first place.

I don't know how many people would assume in the same manner as me, thinking that the reason she gave was simply an excuse to get me off the hook. Of course, till now I'm not convinced about the reason, neither am I convinced on the counterpart - which is to say, I'm still on the fence.

I never do think people will lie to me, and I don't think she did. The only reason I gave myself was "Love is something you cannot expect". This manner of reasoning still did not give a proper explanation to why they were together, which is why till now I've not fully got over the entire issue, and maybe I've mentioned somewhere in time, this may form an unfinished business sort of matter.

I would rather be told "Sorry, I think I'm not ready for us to be together" rather than given that reason which ended up in a heap of counter-reasoning.

It's interesting I only decide to mention this in this blog about a year after everything had happened. I got reminded the entire event on VDay because I thought I was able to spend VDay somehow with her but ended up not the way I wanted.

Of course, the second time is simply just a procedure - not an actual event. Nevertheless it didn't commence anyway.

On Sunday when she asked if Brad could come, I simply laughed at myself. Maybe everyone thought I'm so darn magnanimous...well maybe in a way but not others. In the end I still said yes...there's no reason to reject her, isn't it?

For some people, maybe I'm already so courageous and "facing the truth" when I said it's ok for him to come over - after all, everyone has a reason to be happy, and everyone deserves to be happy isn't it?

Throughout so many days in time, rarely have I had true happiness these days. I hope I can get it in time. Then to think, with so much things going on, I wonder how am I to get things going.

I can only wish and hope, haha.

Anyway...all of what I said are only reflections of myself. I think Cellie reads my blog time to time, perhaps it's time for her to know what I really think of the events that happened last year. I really don't think I'm any worse than any of the worst guys she bumped into, but of course many things can't be compared this way.

It's just Chemistry.

"sobor", means very bored (very boring)

"It has been sobor since morning..."

If "sobor" is a verb, the past tense will be "sobored".

I guess this has been quite a year for me, lots of things had happened and lessons to be learnt. So much I think it just can't be listed.

Hey, thanks for the gifts! I got all of my wishlist granted (apart the last) and I have to thank pple around me! =) pple like Sujun, Janet who actually bothered to fulfill what I want!

New furniture in my house, some old things left my house and it's for great things to come! Awaiting greater revamps @ my place!

So everyone asked how's Christmas. Nothing really too much...spent eve with my neighbours and reached home before 1am - certainly not what is to be expected of me, isn't it? ;) And Desy is back from Indonesia! Met her up 2 days ago and had small chat and saw her cousin Dewi. Then had a crazy drink session after that with Pat and MC'ed the next day :P opps...

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Teh Terik

It's another Friday to date and have survived for 2 weeks. Well, things to learn and more stuff to come with news of new projects and even a corporate meeting yesterday. I guess being involved in such meetings does give me a sense of belonging to the team and company, so now I understand why such meetings are necessary.

It was an okay week, been to Jurong Island site and others, learning new stuff. As the year is drawing to a close, the time has come again for new year resolutions and wishes. Of course, my new year wish forever stays the same, as for resolutions...I wonder what kind will I have.

As for a wishlist...ain't much really. For the easy, I need a cup for my workplace (wanna make lemon tea from lipton tea bag!)...for the average, I'll need a average sized sling bag (adequately A4 would be nice) as I'll not be carrying a laptop, the bag does not require to be the one I'm using right now (the HP bag that was given last year)...as for the high end...I want an HTC TytnII!!!

A friday @ Jacobs is a happy day - we knock off at 1645 instead of 1745.

Today is also teambuilding day, probably the first formal 'teambuilding' that I'm going through. It's just some get-together with makan and games, so I guess I had that in GSK as well. Oh well, the status is a lil different though. Haha.

And on contrary to my trend of gaining weight these days, I get a feeling that might not be so in Jacobs. All staff are in the same building theoratically, and there are many projects and departments I'm still pretty much confused...and finding a person is simply difficult unless you know exactly where he/she sits. I think I walk like thrice or more as much compared to GSK times - how to get fat.

Haha...oh well, that's life. I really hope to learn more things fast and hopefully up to the job so they can convert me to perm. Wish me luck ;)

This is my 4th day in Jacobs Engineering, and things are ok. I expected learning to be fast and furious, but the first week is hardly the case. Well things are still popping by for me to learn, and I'm managing it. More will come, and I know. =)

I think...life really changes...even if mine doesn't, certainly the world is turning and changes happen around me. Just yesterday I was out with Orange and Faith for a drink and Orange mentioned she is going for a wedding photoshoot.

Wait. Wedding? Photoshoot?

I thought she's joking. But it doesn't seem to be the case, yes you can see smiles and such but somehow she doesn't look like she's joking.

But is she getting married, a question posed. That's a good one...hahaha

Wow...things really changed, evolved, turned. What a life.

Whatever the case, I wish her all the best.

Lotsa things had happened in life so much, I didn't update this blog for a super long time. I wonder if anyone actually tracks this blog nowdays...sorry woh, but I did say will only update upon new blogskin...but really cmi la...busy and lazy!!!

Well some updates lor...

I'm moving away from GSK to Jacobs Engineering, one of the top engineering firms in the world. Yeah sounds flattering? Go there only contract but got chance be perm...so just see how lah...must wayang for 3-6 months hahahaha...

Just now glanced at the chinese newspaper...writes "About 4% of secondary 3/4 students have sexual experience"...I think it's an understatement. That's just the survey group they did, and of course some might've been too paiseh or worried to even reflect the truth...somehow, 1 out of 25 really sounds like understatement, looking at the social trend. Maybe it's just me :D

Studies has been...very hectic. It's crazy to complete 3 assignments and the entire module within 1 mth...but that's just how it is. I have to work harder for the exams as I sucked in the later assignments...oh well, that's just me...so easily affected by mood.

As for Maplestory, I'm a level 84 Chief Bandit now! Hahhaa...well still a long way to the new 4th jobs...but oh well, who's talking about that now? Hahhaa...oh yeah, I did mention I want to create a Maplestory blog...Sujun then challenged me "you don't even have time to write this blog, you still wanna write another?"...haha, sometimes you just don't want to face the realities in life...ok, that's me again.

I just formally completed my second module with a gruesome exam yesterday, and Serene insists I get a Distinction of some sorts...grrr how sia?? Can pass I already giggle liao.

Work-wise, I'm waiting for the transfer to another project but so far little updates as few would like to travel far to GSK to work so...I really don't know how I should react. Got so many things to tie up loose ends, I hope I can get them done by the week. So instead of just waiting, I am getting my contacts to intro jobs to me...so far I've sent 2 resumes and praying that some form of response would arrive.

Personal life wise...ehm, hope that everything will resolve by itself ba. A bit too lazy, a bit too afraid of looking at the future. Dunno what or who should I follow. Haha.

Slacking

Ehm, yeah I've been slacking on blog posts lately. Just to inform everyone that I'm alive and kicking, and not killed by Dengue or something. Had a fever that lasted a week, the pain and such almost killed me and that I've taken like 3 blood samples already, due one more coming Friday I suspect. It has been such, but what can I do. Haha.

On a side note, I guess being out from such a sickness, somehow it reminds me that I should be left reflecting on stuff and appreciating what I have. Oh well.

This skin has survived in my blog for a year. What a record. Oh well, gonna break that soon..so boring. Haha.

Facets of life (?)

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, just that little tired for now

[CuRRent Song:] None (playing in my mind is JJ Lin's Killer)

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Bah Chor Mee / HL Milk

Need to rush out the stupid interface for my assignment tonight...cos morrow need to present. I hope morrow morning dun need go market else I might not have enough rest to study and then whatever things need to be done.

Somehow as my studies began, free time took on alternate meanings at times. It could mean a personal chillout space, it meant chillout with friends alongside many stuff. I may also decide to try different things on an experimental basis, probably cos I'm in the stage that I can still experiment and recover from failures...of course, some stuff just need extra care.

Like now, my MapleSEA's cleric is level 38 and chief bandit just reached level 70. It's a casual thing for me to play, maybe at times a bit feel more like playing it than doing anything. Then again, as studies took on a precedence I had to at times kill off the playful demon for the hardworking (or at least working) angel...not easy, but trying is the first step to success.

Michelle (workplace) and I were chatting today when our random topics drifted to the direction of relationship. Not much to mention (the common stuff) but some common stuff could let once again make myself realise what views am I holding onto. Like she mentioned about how she missed the woo-ing days and the feelings - that got me to a teasing front of course.

Mic: it's been like 1-2years since i have the being woo-ed feeling. mus go complain to bf again le. haa
Me: wah liew...its common la...as in bgr liao den will cool a bit...
Me: i mean, woo liao u still wan the wooing feeling?
Me: means like as though not together. lol
(some non-relevant response)
Me: means u still wan the attention, the stuff la
Mic: arbothen.. which girl dun like. haha. together le den the attention gets lesser
Me: maybe the flowers, the shyness, the movies...the innocence in some ways
Mic: yes ! lol
Me: yes, its common the attention gets lesser, since being together means being comfortable wif each other, some things will be "less emphasized". but then again, attention can be converted to other things like more care n concern, love and such. commitment and planning maybe.
Mic: wao
Mic: hmm ook. duno how to continue ur theory le. haha
Me: thot u wanna oppose me or something
Me: hahaha
Mic: lol duno how to counter attack la. mind blockage
Mic: =p

I believe we will face such situations at some point of time - no such thing as "forever honeymoon", it will drift off as people tend to know each other much better and relax at a point of time. As such, when we choose to be together with someone, we should just stick to the guns and try to be accepting...unless of course the changes are bent way too much out of proportion. Haha.

My above point could be right, could be wrong. What has been "less attention" could have been placed in other places like "love, care and concern, responsibiliy, commitment" or maybe "possessiveness, pride, dependancy"...it all depends, isn't it? Nothing too much about being "too good" or "too bad" - it's just what we prefer in life.

Writing the "forever honeymoon" theory brought me to think about my brother, who once claimed it is possible to let a relationship "stay similarly" throughout the first few years. It is not really practically unless you have 101% nothing to hide, or you have found a perfect partner (which itself is impractical). Just look at what is happening now to him, I can plainly scoff off that theory.

True, no honeymoon theory, but it takes two to clap, it takes both to maintain a longlasting relationship going through the tests of time into "eternity".

As my brother came into the picture of my blog post, almost nothing good can come out - it will most guarantee mean another ranting session or some sort of post which sees light to how he is and how everyone is handling.

Nowadays as my mum talks about him, I've held myself back much lesser than I used to in the past. In the past I defend for him, now I am speechless. I've seen years gone by, from myself a kid to this moment that I work...sometimes I wonder if I am becoming more unfeeling...but maybe it's more like I'm giving up on him.

All his stupid promises, blablabla succeeds even lesser possibility than a Scroll of Attack on Dagger 10% (Maplers will know what I mean)...I really tend to lose hope in him more and more. I believe more pressure must be exerted on him.

He always asked why his account now unable to play some games as "administrator access is required" and told me to solve it, which I've pushed it away time and again. I've downgraded his access so that he cannot do stupid changes to the system, and it seems that my system has lesser problems and downtime!

I'm planning to do maintenance on system, I guess I'll get him to backup whatever stuff he has before I plan the BIG BOOM. And I need to tell him that I'm not going to let him use the system until he does what is needed to be done. I think I've gave him way too much chances.

It's really so much more a convenience without him at home, seriously. He just creates more problems when he is...gets on me, I really wonder why all these has to happen on our family when mum and dad are seemingly the best parents that one could ever have. He's just taking things for granted bloody way too much.

Oh well, that's life.

When is my skin change??????

JJ Lin - Killer

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine

[CuRRent Song:] JJ Lin - Killer

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Milo

Just watched the "hooha" video of JJ Lin...below are links of the videos...

Disclaimer: MV version is ok, but for those who cannot stand gore/nudity (actually only 2 scenes of breasts) please do not proceed with the uncensored versions.

JJ Lin - Killer (MV Version)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ObYlmRGmJRc

You can omit the third video if you have watched the MV. The end part of part 2 features the MV as well.

The song is not bad, a bit Jay-ish feeling but since it's JJ you get the JJ feeling so...yeah it's a good try. Since the video was such a hooha, I think the company has achieved its aim of promoting the song and album. Haha...

The weekend was ehm, kinda...I dunno how to describe it. Friday was work but no studies (hehe) but met up with groupmates to discuss the assignment...then Saturday went to market with mom...den stayed at home to maple a bit...(yeah cleric lvl 37 le) then went out with Orange for a movie...Jap animation in fact. It's "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" - it's not bad, though for people who expects a big story will be a little disappointed. This animation is a bit more reflecting on the people who uses unparalleled powers without proper consideration, and how some decisions in life could affect everything else not in your control...not everything can be undone in a way.

As she wasn't in the best of moods, somehow my mood got affected even though I was trying to make her better...I guess a short turning point would be the strawberry smoothie - took me like 3 hours plus just to see her smile for the first time yesterday - something which is unbearable to my standards. I'm a "happy fruit" in general and can't stand melancholy too much in usual circumstances. In usual times I'll send her back and stuff but I think due to the mood and stuff I left her to go back home first (sorry abt it =x) while I wandered in the streets a little and ended up at ZoneX and PC Bunk...saw Ivan and Vanessa (separately)...and Eddy...haiz. Hearing what Eddy said to me, I hear also sian. Say what his mother confronted my brother (abt money issues again, what else?), den I just snapped back in relaxing fashion, "Is that any of my business?"

This is just how much I face my brother's issues nowadays. He's almost hopeless.

Back home, mapled a little...slpt.

Now at workplace executing PM...probably meeting up Adeline and co. in the evening for dinner I guess. Oh well, a lot of thoughts being sorted out yesterday...dunno if I can put them in place for execution.

More on it...elsewhere. Haha.

Oh yeah was slacking at home without knowing what to do, then Adeline smsed me a bit then I got to know that they were shopping...then I asked why didn't ask me to go...ended up I met up with them...haha. Them = Adeline, Serene and Jean (the latter ones I knew them from Dbl O during Adeline's last visit). Walked quite a bit in Far East Plaza, talk a lot of cock, den went Paragon...yeah just like that. Then took Jean's friend's red WRX home. Haha.

Work days are boring - either work or study usually. Today I got my leave, so I went to pay a visit to Sujun. Her baby is soooo cute! =) but she's like sleeping longer than expected all thanks to my expert and relentless rocking of the hammock...hahaha...

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, a bit tired

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Milo

Been almost a week since my last update, well studies has been pretty 'siong', a lot of concepts to grasp and understand, trying my very best to follow up. Tutorials had been ok so far, but I anticipate worse things up ahead so I should buck up.

Last week...well...Friday was a lecture, Saturday was a tutorial, so after that I went to PS to buy some stuff and had early dinner. Not very sure of my day, I msged Daniel of the night's programmes. Ended up he said some place in MS that I'm not sure of.

So the night came, we ended ourselves in Istana Park for our usual drinking, then off we went to Teddy Bez. What? It's a techno joint newly opened at MS, and to think that Rusty (ex-Paralist) was involved in the Techno-dance competition...however it was sad that due to military obligations he was not able to attend the Semis and it was an automatic walkover. We all got eyes lah...one look can tell he's the best on the floor.

Anyway...the place closed at 3am (zzz), sat a lil at the coffeeshop and off home we went (NR8 - surprise!).

Sunday...lazy day...stayed home the whole time apart from accompanying mum to the marketplace, and ordered pizza for dinner at night. That's just it.

OH yea...my Bandit in MapleSEA is finally LEVEL 70!!! WooO~~~ but not yet job change. Zzzz...hahaha...but current clothing look stupid leh...hahaha...

So now is Job Change > Band of Thieves > Assaulter > lvl 100!!!

LOL...long way to go.

Being back with what I like best about studying - programming

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine, lil tired

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Milo

Being back into what I love to do is a good thing.

Programming is one of them, and it's back into the game with VB.Net yesterday! Having VB6 background is truly a plus point (alongside my rather stable syntax memory) as I managed to go through the "refresher" course without much problems. Skipped through the very basics and got on the advanced questions - it's not too advanced, just the number guessing game. With MSDN equipped, what can go wrong?

But of cos, VB6 and the .Net architecture is different (.Net is OOP) so I got to get adjusted back into the OO environment - the one and only programming language that I've done OO was C++, and that wasn't very exhaustive practice even though I probably got like a B or something in that subject during my poly days.

Gosh, I am soooo excited about programming! Being back in the game gives me good confidence in my assignment and practical test which totals up to 50%!!! It just means so long I do some studying for my theory, I will not have an issue passing this module! Hooo~~!!!

Well, more challenges to come I know, but bring it on. =) the programming, that is. Hahaha.

Midweek again, lil tired

[CuRRent MooD:] A lil tired

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Bee Hoon + Fillet / Plain Water

Let's see...last update ended on Friday afternoon, so lemme see...

On Friday evening I was hanging around at JP and was msging Orange, then she told me she's going down clubbing with Faith. Went home and prepared, then went to Marina Square's Sakae to meet them...makan that lil bit, then after waiting a bit for Orange to makeup we took Ben's car down Dbl O and clubbed till 2+am...

Saturday...zzz...woke up and accompanied mum to the physio, den makan at the foodcourt (almost zero appetite but full of thirst - overdose of aircon + alcohol maybe?)...then back home, zzz-ed the afternoon off, woke up to maple and net a bit before arranging to go out wif Virneige to scout for Tilong's bday gift. By the time we're done, I noticed I'm being attacked by unknown substances which caused quite a bit of rashes on my body so feeling a lil unwell, I went back early (like 10 something on a saturday???) and unable to join Orange and Joy for 'dinner-supper'.

Sunday...woke up, see rashes, slpt...till no rashes. Haha...maple and net, den waited a lil, preped myself for Tilong's bday BBQ, den met up with Minhui (my primary school classmate) and Virneige downstairs and went to the BBQ together. Nothing too much, just that Minhui left like 11+pm and Vir and I continued chatting till 1am. LOL.

Monday...work lor. After work went to PSB Academy for my first day of studying after like, ehm 5-6 years?? The lecturer was fine, the class was very packed which was quite an opener to me...and the lecturer used up 1/4 of the total course notes on the first lesson. Kinda cool eh. Today will be my first tutorial...hehe =) wish me luck on VB.Net =)

On a sidenote...I have received news of... ... ...

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Mee Goreng / Carbonated orange drink

Good thing or bad thing first?

Bad things...well nothing too much really, got shot multiple arrows today to do quite some stuff. Now still waiting for vendor to arrive.

Good things...

I've approached my manager for a transfer of project away from GSK. From what I hear, there is another project with regards to contract, vendor and project management, which is certainly a direction I would love to try! With that type of experience in me, my resume will be more geared towards a managerial role! If say I could get on this project and last for at least a year over, I'll be so well equipped wif actual skills as well as my degree (if I can survive passing every module), so I have a boost of confidence I'm a step closer to what I want to be!

Yesterday I went for my orientation at the Delta Campus, PSB Academy...it ended rather fast and somehow I managed to arrange a meetup with Michelle! It's always a thing of me to meet Michelle as it's hard to meet up wif her (studies, boyfriend etc) for as much as I like...so eventually we got our asses down to Vivocity where we met up with another friend of hers, Jocelyn (whom I've met before about 2 years back) and we went to the open area to sit and chat. Good times end fast, time to go home, yeah that's just it.

I appreciate every moment out with my close and loved ones.

Forgot to tell all of my readers that I went reservice last week. Then again, most people close to me would've already known.

For that weekend before reservice, I had Pat and Jordan at my place mapling and stuff. Haha sunday was a day for me to go Chinatown to swap the handphone, den tried finding army stuff but didn't manage to...the day dwindled pretty fast and I packed my army stuff till 3+am, den woke up around 6am and left home for my 5-day ICT.

First ICT was...well, rather slack. Haha...of cos there were the busy times but overall it's rather relaxed, more like a breakaway. Well I got what I wanted which was to drive my vehicle outfield!!! People think I'm crazy to be anticipative of such things but maybe cos I dun have a civilian license to drive, that part of the driving me is satisfied!

Back to civilian life, heard usual rants from my mum after being back from ICT, saturday went Dbl O...sunday...dwiddled life away as well before celebrating Father's Day, then meet up with Pat.

There had been lots going on in life recently, a lot of confusion and sadness...but at least till today, everything seemed ok. Well...I hope so.

Doc: "Let me see your throat"

Doc: "You got mucus dripping behind your throat!"

What an elaboration. Gross. Got antibiotics to clear my throat, some pills to clear the cold, got myself to bed earlier on wkdays, drank more water...so much better now to say the least.

Thursday met up wif Orange and Faith was around too, then walked a bit in Heeren then Faith and her friend went off, me and Orange had dinner @ Villa'ge (ex-Marche)...talk a lot of crap, den go Cineleisure ard 10pm can still get a top for herself...then go home...

Sunday (today)...slack day, did not do what I wanted to do. Haha. Please give me more discipline. Haha.

As today comes to an end in 6 hours' time, something overtook my feelings and thoughts - somehow I had to start worrying for someone again. I get a feeling her direction in life is getting a little disoriented, somehow I think it is getting twisted of the way her life is now. I'm really getting worried.

Hope that I can even get to chat with her regarding this topic at all...sometimes it's hard, but as a self-proclaimed bad-assed evil guardian angel, I just have to get it kickstarted...somehow.

My life is seemingly reduced to crap after tonight, and God knows what I should do with my pathetic life.

On half day off today, so I went home to take a nap, and I smsed Sharon to see if anything's on for the night. Initially arranged for a night out, I woke up with Pat's sms to ask me out for After 5...but I've agreed with Sharon so I tried asking Sharon, whom wasn't very interested with the After 5 thing. Soon, Brian called and confirmed the MOS trip for the night. I checked with Sharon and she's fine with it. So off we go MOS and I told Pat about it.

After dallying in the house quite a bit, I went to meet Sharon at her place ard 10+...reached Liang Court ard 10:40pm, went to Mac and makan. Soon before I knew it, Eugene appeared. Point taken - it's almost never a lonely night with Sharon around (duh). Then met up with Brian and co, called Daniel - then knew they were already in MOS. Wait, ain't Daniel supposed to sign me in? DUH! Well buddies are for life - I paid the cover while he cover the mixers (which are damn ex)...so then off we are in MOS.

Till this point of blog, two things didn't go as planned.

In MOS, danced a bit, chatted, drank, brought Sharon around the place (which she commented preferred much more than St James)...then yeah nothing too much, then an sms came along - Orange. Asked me where I was so I said was at MOS. Den she said she was in O Bar and asked what time MOS closes...I said 4am but our co is off for supper, asked if she's game. She said she doesn't mind, so asked me how to arrange. In the end I said I'll be down to look for her. Settled. Pat then asked where I was, said was in MOS. Then asked if she can come down but I told her I'm off for supper. Yeah in the end she passed the phone to Weiming who mentioned about sending her back as she was rather high. Ok duh.

I walked down from MOS to Dbl O (surprised at my navigation)...called her and she came out pretty dead while her fren Jeremy went to take her stuff. Accompanied her a bit before the guy came out, den while sitting she puked her life out. Then said she did not take much food before that, ok sure I understand. Soon we flagged a cab and down we went Circular Road (Boat Quay). I was behind taking care of Orange while her friend was in front...cab stopped, her guy friend who was IN FRONT (conventional rules of cab takers in a group generally has the person in front to pay first if no prior agreement) walked out just like this. Come on, he wasn't even half drunk (though he claims he drank more than Orange BLABLABLA...bullshit you can drink a lot but still be more sober - I can attest to that) and he just walked out of the cab leaving me behind with Orange. Look, I have 2 bags, a hand holding on the tissue for her, and my other hand had to dig my wallet to get the freakin' $5 bill (look, the cab fare ain't even over $5!) which the driver returned my change - so I had my hands holding on wallet, bags, and my mouth biting the tissue, and I had to open the damn door by myself and had to take care of Orange as well! I AM REALLY DAMN PISSED WITH HER GUY FRIEND.

Fine, I didn't think much about it, had her out and I went to look for Dan and co which I did. Came back and helped Orange to the tables which they were having their supper. Asked for drinks, and I went to get the drinks. The drinks took a DAMN FUCKING LONG TIME to be done, and Eugene happened to come by the place twice and upon the second, told me that Orange and the guy was by the side. Ok I turned to take a quick look, yeah they were there. Then I waited for another 5 mins (drinks NOT DONE yet), turned and saw both of them going in the cab, closed the door and left. Good try, not even telling me about it, how nice. Ended up I had to cancel the Teh Alia (dunno how to spell) from the shopkeeper. Come to think, I'm rather sorry he had to be on the end of my pissed mood and even returned me the money for the purchase.

Foul mood, walked back to tables, and I went to walk around to kill off my foul mood. Pat called and chatted a little, den I went back to the tables, and soon everyone finished and left. Sent Belle back home, and myself back. Had a huge complaining session with the cab driver, and though I know the cab driver was half crapping, he tried to make me feel better.

Thank you, Mr cabby.

As you can see, things took an unexpected turn right from beginning till the end. It's a bad Friday-Saturday night. Tell me, good guy bad guy the same. Be good guy get bullied, get eaten, get all these crap from the not-so-good guys who seemingly get the better bet of the lot. I know the all-too-well theory of the bad eating up the good, and I myself ain't too good to begin with...but just so shitty whenever I wanna be the good guy, I get terribly eaten up somehow.

I am so pissed being good, yet if I wanna be bad I'll either have conscience pricking me or getting the feeling I'll get my retribution and just desserts. Tell me, what way to go?

What a damn fucking lousy night. I hope morrow night @ Joanne's birthday will be 10x, 100x, even 1000x better.

Please do. Or if thoust insist, make it so bad I can round off as a damn lousy weekend.

Oh yeah Orange, I am not blaming you. I'm just not happy I wasn't notified of you disappearing, and that I've tried to made your night any better but it turned out otherwise (on my end).

Gonna backtrack what was done...nothing much really =)

Monday...after work went back home mop floor, den went out to meet my neighbours to celebrate birthday for one of them. Went to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao (翡翠拉面小笼包) had our dinner, then went KTV @ Orchard Partyworld till 4am...

Tuesday...don't need say lah, awaited the arrival of 小猪 and was happy upon hearing the news =)

Wednesday...after work went to AMK and met up with Sandy, a new online friend that I got to know recently. Ate dinner, chatted a bit, helped her planned some finance stuff and further helped a way or another - hopefully it is good help that I've provided and hope things won't go any uglier. Haha.

Thursday...home, rest, Maple, sleep. Haha.

Dunno what's on for today. LOL.

Sometimes I really don't know whether what I've done is right or beneficial to myself. Often doing things that people normally won't do, and get a kick at myself for things turning bad at the end. The so-called good things I do are often so able to turn ugly at the final turn, and yet I still do them. I wonder what is wrong with me.

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Bee Hoon + Luncheon Meat / Plain Water

Eyes tired, brain awake - that's what is happening to me for the past two days.

Went to meet up with Hikki and Sharon on Friday after work, went for some walking about and shopping, they have this late night shopping on the last friday of every month but I think it leaves much to be desired. In the end it turned out to be MJ session after shopping with Eric (Tilong) and Virneige...lol...and lost quite a bit...but never mind lah...hahaha =P

Saturday woke up in morning (after a nice morning rain) to go market with mum...den reached home and fiddled the PC, played maple and YES! LEVEL 63 FINALLY!!!!!! LOL. Then after checking wif Daniel I got to know MOS trip is not confirmed, so I just dallied my time away, rested a little in the evening (wasn't really much a rest, got interrupted by smses) and took dinner at home...when I got sms from Orange about having dinner wif her...ok fine...hahaha so tentatively we arranged meeting up 8pm...den became like 830pm...finally by the time we met I guess it's about 930pm...haha! She was in the porridge mood so we went the 长城 at Outram-Chinatown area...ate 田鸡粥 with 油菜 and salad fried dough (cannot find exact spelling in chinese somehow)...ok I didn't eat those veges...den we walked down Chinatown MRT and took to PS...somehow the main drinking kakis not there yet, we made our way to Mos Burger and had Ichigo Bliss and Iced Milk Tea...photowhored a little and saw the absolute bliss on Orange's face on her attempts at sweetness after her post-detox programme! =) lol it was so funny.

After that went over the usual drinking place and saw Jessie, Ah Hong and Brian. Wait, where's Daniel? Stuck at Parklane - with the alcohol! LOL...so ended up Brian, Orange and I walked over to 7-11 and got some alcohol...did I spell alcohol or alchohol wrongly? Think it's the former. Haha. Anyway...Orange introed me some green tea + whiskey alcohol drink which I thought tastes the same as Chivas + green tea...damn WRONG! There is this tinge of 梅酒 taste that we cannot exactly put a finger to it, and it was an experience hahaha...den Isabelle came along and after the drinking session we decided to go Dbl O...

Entry was rather quick, but it was crowded - crowded till even men has to queue for the washroom! After everything, went to the main floor...saw Jess (Pat's fren)...den we walked back the chillout bar (which ain't much chillout - damn crowded!) and bought our drinks - Baileys Milk ($52 - ouch), Gin Tonic w/o ice (hmmmz)...and played 猜拳 (15-20)...den Isabelle got another Baileys-contender + Milk ($30 I think) and tequila shots...2 each for me and her...den just dance and chat...well the night was rather fine but had a bit of things to handle...but it was fine overall.

Nearing 4am, my dad came over Dbl O and sent Belle back home, den me to work. Yes work.

Work @ 4am @ Quality Road. Zzzzz...

Raining somemore. Haha...den by the time I finished work it was 630ish...took cab back home, reached home 7+am..den bathed, slpt...

...woke up 1pm...! Grrr...eyes tired, brain awake...no choice, wake myself up...den went market with parents to makan with relatives (maternal 3rd aunt) and them...eat finish, I went home...went to neighbour's place to chill and help another of their fren with laptop installation...den somehow arranged with Celly to go out and help me shop for workwear...haha!

Eventually met up with Celly nearly 540pm...den took train to PS...went G2000 and bought a shirt with most vouchers...hahhaha! Then we went down Orchard-bound, alongway Heeren, then Taka...den Wisma...ended up she bought herself something as well from Forever 21...den sent her back...oh yea, had dinner at KFC.

It's a step I took to go out with her again, and I'm glad to have taken it.

Oh ya, I am supposed to return the tag thing from her blog...so lemme try...

Rules: Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

(1) I weigh the heaviest among my brothers at birth, heard that it's over 8 pounds! Ended up I am rather skinny at teenage years, became a lil better after NS and now I'm putting on weight like I've never done before.

(2) I crawl backwards frequently during my toddler years, and I've grown to walk backwards with ease.

(3) I sing, dance and talk to myself. Anywhere, anytime.

(4) I have contrasting theories to beautiful women and eventually what type of women I am looking for.

(5) Hey wait Celly, you mentioned that loving hugs and kisses are weird. Damn, I'm weird too.

(6) Finally...I'm weird that I just cannot think of things that I find myself weird about. That in itself is weird. Haha!

You guys like my current friendster/blog song? Seems that people are more receptive towards non-electronic music...oh well, that's all for now? Hahaha...but do notice that RnB is slowly, I mean rather slowly, losing its grip on the people with the arrival of european players so...we'll wait and see. Haha.

Lemme...see...ok I only know one of the stupid weekdays I tio "conned" to go some stupid MLM thing which till now I'm still rather pissed with the person who asked me to go...cos I've already told her umpteen times I do not, and won't wanna be associated wif any MLM thing. Oh well...then nothing too much, Friday met up wif Sharon in Chinatown area for KTV...went KBox and K-ed from 8pm to 2am...wow, that's like 6 hours...zzz...

Saturday woke up in morning to accompany mum to the market...then gamed till 6 something and went to Chevrons for another short round of KTV...by then Daniel had already invited me to the drinking session, so I left Chevrons at around 9:20pm and went down Clarke Quay to look for them...they have already queued for the free entry into MOS, so I was the last to go and went to the bridge for our drinking session. Jessie was back from Japan so she got us Johnny Walker's Green label...it has a lingering taste so it stayed on a bit...so we finished around half a bottle and stashed the remains in Daniel's bro's vehicle (which I think is a family vehicle), and went to MOS. It was already about 5am when I reached home.

For sunday...woke up ard 2pm...then gamed...then met up with Sharon and Hikki in the evening, window shopped a lil, chat a lil, makan a lil...home. Yeah that's my weekend.

Should be another intoxication weekend the coming week.

Yet another MJ weekend

[CuRRent MooD:] Tired

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Some chicken with mashed potato / HL Milk

On thursday, had arranged KTV session with Orange but it seems weird both our sessions we were somehow not feeling well but nevertheless went on with it. Initially thought of going home to change but ended up I made my way dere earlier to wait for her which she did arrive around 7pm...den went the winterwear shop walk walk...den we had Pizza Hut for dinner...well as mentioned, there's never a boring day with Orange around.

The time we went in the hut (7+pm) it was rather crowded so we were allocated seats that are just beside the counter where they despatch their food...so with the talking and ringing sounds (they hit the bell whenever food is ready) it gets irritating so Orange shared my idea and signalled the waitress (or what you call them...server? lol) to change seats...thing is, we saw some seats at the back so Orange suggested to split the tables (they are 6-seaters) so other can use the rest of the tables, which the waitress said is fine so we transferred ourselves there. Sitting there for like 5 mins, another waitress came by to inform us that she needs to move us cos there are reservations for the table...being patient, we were fine with the idea but she suggested moving us BACK to the place where we came from! Orange explained the situation patiently and upon remembering that the seat near the entrance is vacant, she suggested that seat and so....we were transferred there. Sat down, started our orders and took soup when......

...we hear of customers complaining to the counter staff about billing and such...it was really irritating so upon seeing another vacant seat, Orange suggested moving again! I was fine with it, she got the waitress again to switch places, explaining about the situation again. This time though, I added the point that "my friend isn't very happy about this" and thus, we switched to the fourth table of the evening! Finally we got our hands on the Super Supreme wif the cheese thing...took some pics and after that walked a little before we settled for KBox...sang substandard with our poor voices, and finished at ard 12mn...sent her back via cab and me back home via cab.

Then...friday half day, went to GMP to sign contract, then went to Millenia Towers to look for the eduloan officer...sigh, a lot of things here and there, and still need one more signature to be signed...then settled things, went to arcade and had a game or two...den Sharon called me to arrange for dinner...ended up battery flat! Good thing while I was frantically looking for a public phone, I bumped onto neighbourhood pple and got myself calling Sharon to confirm the timing. Den dally a bit, went to meet Sharon and had dinner at Marina Square's foodcourt. After that we were not sure of where to go...ended up with MJ session again! This night Sharon's the winner as I lost terribly...

Saturday...went market with mum, den rested quite a bit and skipped Berlinda's chalet thing (and making her pissed in the process)...then woke up, met up with the MJ buddies again! MJ MJ MJ! This time I didn't lose much as I managed a turn of events on the second MJ session of the night...den after MJ went to makan, den chit chat...den I took cab to GSK for PM.

PM ended nearly 3pm...well, nothing too much, stunts here and there. Then went home to rest, woke up to eat, rest slack...yeah...tired lo.

That's my weekend's worth.

Monday, tuesday...now wednesday?

[CuRRent MooD:] Okay

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] KFC

Well, half the week has gone past, and so how has it been? Nothing much really?

Well for monday, Orange came to my place and had some homecooked food that my mum made - I told her it's something unique and not available outside so she was pretty excited about it. After waiting a while at the MRT station, I brought her back home (ok I know this somehow sounds weird but I don't have a better term) and introduced the dish to her - 菜粥. What? Haha..I guess most people might not have heard of it as it's a dish that is passed down from my maternal grandma to my mum. Don't be deceived by its looks as I've scouped the porridge for her, and after the meal she seemed very satisfied. Haha...wait till she tries more of the dishes! Anyway she stayed for quite a while using the PC and after that sent her downstairs and flagged a cab.

Tuesday...initially wanted to go down and look for the education loan consultant from Citibank...ended up I forgot to grab the form from Sujun so ended up I cancelled the thought...called up Virneige and found that she was meeting up with Tilong and makaning @ Lot 1, so I went down to meet up. As I was earlier, I went to the arcade and happened to bump onto Jonathan (paralist)...den he jio-ed me a game of DDR which I played terribly cos I was on workwear, then I watched Sangoku-Taisen (The Romance of Three Kingdoms game in the arcade where you use cards to control generals) for a bit before they arrived and we went to food court and order food.

After eating, went walking a bit around Lot 1, bought my sweets supply for work, den I went home...upon reaching home I was feeling very tired and wanted to collapse rightaway after my bath but my mum cooked for me...so upon knowing of the Champions' League match with Manchester United and AS Roma @ 2:45am, I set up the online channel for the match and went to bed early at around 9:15pm...but my rest wasn't fully accounted for - Berlinda called me thrice and Pat called once...so oh well, what to do. Haha...in the end I woke up around 2:35am and prepared everything for the supper and match.

The match ended up in Man Utd favour - 7 goals to 1. DAMNIT it's 7!!! It was such a match to watch, good thing I didn't miss it! =) the match ended around 5 and I rested...

...morning woke up a lil late, convinced myself to take a cab down work. Nothing much for work, grabbed the form from Sujun's desk as she went home early for a rest (pregnant women sure are tired...) then ended up having to go back Quality Road site as something went wrong with one of the hardware which will affect the backup for the next morning. The education loan officer called and said he was not able to make it today so we had tentatively arranged to be at Friday. As I was at QR, I finished whatever needs to be done, and took the bus down Jurong Point. Makaned KFC, was walking out of JP when I felt someone pat my arm - Mdm Helen, my BC during my army days! So she agreed to send me back home (we live in the same area) while I followed her around a bit to get her stuff, den while on the car had quite a chat (the evening jam sure makes the traffic slow) before I came back home. Having a chat with her made me realise quite some stuff regards to part of my life.

In the afternoon I had a chat with Pat about some thoughts pertaining to people of the 21st century...how some issues seem to get more common around me and how people are attempting to come to terms with it. Well...I guess it's time for me to take a backseat - in fact I'm in pole position since I'm unattached right now and should have the better view, since being attached *might* just alter some views of mine.

Stay tuned.

Whoa, what a weekend!

[CuRRent MooD:] Great

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Nasi Lemak / Orange juice

It's really a great weekend, so what exactly happened?

Thursday:

Reached home, then prepared a little and met up with Vir and Tilong and took cab down to O2, the KTV pub that Tilong frequents. Just so happens that there was only this large table with 2 groups vying for it, and somehow for some reason Sharon brought Eugene (her bf) along...wasn't feeling that good at the beginning but trying hard to retain my cool...then Eugene suggested to go down Boat Quay where he can get a place for drinks. So off we went...

...to Music Heritage @ Boat Quay. Yes true we got a place, Eugene order a bottle of Chivas for everyone and we played games and drank but...what's KTV pub without singing? In the end...we didn't sing and we got out to makan prata. A miracle happened on this night - Eugene actually apologised to me for his f**ked up attitude towards me! He mentioned that it was due to his jealous nature that he gives such attitude and promises that such thing won't happen again...wow, what a change! Well people who knew me knows I never treat anyone as an enemy, and at most only dislike...never hatred one...so since he made the first move, I don't see why I should keep looking at him under a bad light. After all, so long if he treats Sharon nicely, it doesn't matter how he looks at me - that's me.

Anyway, they mentioned going St James but my buddies figured we should rest for the night...without singing? Damnit - go figure.

Friday:

Reached home like morning 6ish? Can't recall...den woke mum up to market, skipped breakfast and went bed after home from market. Woke up like 2-3pm? Then after a while went to meet up with Vir n Tilong for lunch/dinner at the renovated coffeeshop @ Blk 19...Tilong was in foul mood because the western food sucked and the cutlery wasn't clean...oh well what to do. Then we went back to Tilong's place...

...MJ MJ MJ! Aiya Sharon haven't come to the scene so we played 3-pple MJ...fast-paced action adrendline rush! By the time Sharon came I'm down to half my fortune...so we converted to 4-pple MJ...played till 10ish 11pm? By then I have recovered my losses all thanks to Tilong's blessed wisdom on MJ! Insight!

Went home to get changed, and we went to have supper at Kopitiam before we went down St James for some clubbing. Went in thru DragonFly, and stayed all the way till closure, rested at the bus stop till the first bus, took bus back and we saw Vir off her cab and both me and Tilong went back to collapse.

To Virneige: Thanks for being around to help us watch for first bus and lending us your "comfort zone" *wink wink* - love you loads! MUACKS!

Saturday:

Woke up around 12ish as the electrician uncle came to install additional electrical points in my room, also to fix up another point in my house as well as to fix some piping issues - all for only $18! Imagine if asked PUB pple to come...*shudders*...anyway, after that helped mum with household chores, cleaning up and stuff...then watched TV till 630pm, rested a bit and went to Tilong place for another MJ session!!! HahHHAa...den played and play...till an sms came along...Daniel! He asked me for a trip down Dbl O and I agreed rightaway...but MJ has to finish first hahhaa...den Pat also msged me regards my programmes, happened that she was going down Dbl O as well! Cool! So after ending the game at the 3rd quarter, I went home to prepare and went Istana Park for our pre-clubbing drinking session with an interest - Jessie brought her Absolut Ruby Red! Interesting! Then after that we walked down Dbl O.

Went to Dbl O, met up with Pat and saw her "sisters and friends"...lemme think who can I remember...there's a Jess, there's a Jeanette (or Janet)......ok, I can't remember much. So had some drinks and danced through the night...till closure...and yeah, Jess happened to know an ang moh (I think named Wayne) who is in Singapore for only 2 days and he treated her champagne...ended up I'm being drafted into the drinking team to finish up the bottle...so at the very end 6 pple were sharing the bottle...HAHAHA! Also got to know a guy by the name of Tony - 32 but looking like 23. Then we went off after that, I took same cab as Pat and went back.

Sunday:

For once I might've thought Sunday is a rest day, but Orange contacted me while I was on way to Dbl O the night before and we agreed to meet up for a movie and some brief shopping. Being under stress for the 100% record of a good movie kaki, I was short of choice - TMNT and Mr Bean Holiday had mixed reviews, she doesn't go horror-ish shows...ain't much comedies around...I'm like so short of choices - added the fact she doesn't like Mandy Moore, it gave me a headache. In the end, I went for broke and chose "Because I Said So", a show starring Mandy Moore (duh).

We went shopping a bit and she bought herself a necklace, I was looking for my CDs...suddenly she mentioned she wanted the Tao Zhe CD that she loved so much but did not buy it...since I was on vouchers, I quipped in, "if that CD falls below $15, I'll buy it for you!", thinking that it is improbable...ended up we walked back to Sembawang Music Centre (MJ did not have it) and it cost $12.90! We were like laughing out loud - but I kept my promise to pay like 90%ish of the CD (I told her to pay the dollars and cents after the vouchers - which amounted to a nice amount of a few cents...hahaha) and bought myself 2 dance compilations. She was saying about her lack of "skinny jeans" so we went down Future State and yea, she got what she wanted..after some discussion of her figure which IMHO, isn't even an issue of discussion.

Oh yea, I think I messed up the last part because we went to Swensons for dinner before the purchase of the jeans. We got food from the Allan and Lilin's new menu (some new gimmick) - Beef Burrito and Grilled Fish Fillet...and Chocolate Overload!!! Heehee...shall put pics once ready.

Went for the movie and *lucky me* I held the 100% record - she liked the show! I remembered what she said, "Surprisingly Mandy Moore acts well" hahahha...hey dun play play, I got check synopsis and trailer ok...=)

Oh well, that's the end of my fun-filled alcoholic late nights weekend.

...my PC seemed to have an issue trying to publish posts and saving drafts. Looked like a javascript problem but no lead abt it, also tried to register my dlls but failed to make an impact as well. Oh well.

Nothing too much to blog as well, just now went out wif Virneige and Tilong with another primary schoolmate Zhaohan to Commonwealth for some bee hoon with chicken wing n stuff...yeah it was ok standard to say the least, but they insisted it tasted better. So that's just about it...yeah, Vir told me to rest early cos I had a headache...sometimes I do think if all these headaches are normal or it's just me.

Had a chat with Desy (dotter) till 2am in the morning. Haha.

Had been some time I do some stupid self reflection of sorts? I guess that's cos recently I do have a little life outside my own, I tend to focus a bit lesser on myself.

Finance: still sucky, actually has been a little on unstable ground. Anticipating to get it ironed out in 3 months, provided I keep my budget real tight. Has to do so though.

Education: PSB Academy (University of Newcastle) has approved my Bachelor of Information Technology, now confirming things with education loan with Citibank...or should I consider other aspects, that I wonder.

Work Life: Team getting more error prone as cases actually are going down. Unnecessary stress gets built up over time. I would think that it's time to move on, no?

Love Life: On a low. It's ok. Haha...but somehow what the cab driver told me that night got on me, it starts to irritate me time to time. Haha.

Time will move, pple will move...so just move. Haha...

And yea, my brother sucks.

Nowadays I blog like once a week and trying to backtrack the events...frankly speaking I can't remember a lot for the weekdays...so I guess I have to talk about the weekends, no?

Friday I took half day in effort to look for Janet's farewell gift...ended up I've received confirmation of my degree and I had to process the bank loan fast...so ended up I made calls to PSB and also Citibank which they did get back to me and some information that I have to process and decide...so by the end of it I had Jasmin (one of the GSK pple) to help scout for the gift.

Met up with Janet @ Clementi Mac about 7+ den we chatted and ate till abt 8 when Michelle arrived. The rest came later and Janet was out to expose them when they were trying to unpack and put the gifts in the huge box prepared for her...just outside Mac. Just so happened Janet was facing them so...hahaha EXPOSED! But she gave them face so after exposing them we went up Partyworld to start the singing going. It was a rather noisy session and Michelle left earlier at ard 11+...by the time the singing ended it was about 12+ near 1, then we went to Mac and continued chatting till 3 something before we went back home.

Saturday...slpt and slpt till about time, I prepared a little and before I knew what hit me, it started pouring outside. Thinking quick, I changed the venue to Marina Square instead of town as per what communicated to Orange and Cellie. Cellie did not answer, and Orange said she cannot leave house while the rain is on...so came to a point I took cab down to fetch Orange (the rain's gone by the time I reached there - duh) and down to town...midway changing destination to PS and checking out how her life is at the moment. I guess as what Joy said, we'll be there to pick her up from anything, but so far her life's pretty great...and I hope it will be better...so long she's happy with it.

Upon reaching PS we went to check whichever available food places, den went down GMask to check out masks for her phone...while she was going thru the choices Cellie just appeared out from nowhere with Brad, her boyfriend. Come to think of it...I'm glad I have no hard feelings for now, haha. Anyway after the masking we went to Manhatten Fish Market to have seafood-related meals...so making small chat, watching some aquatic video in the restaurant and blabla...after the meals we went wif Orange to collect the phone wif the mask, then walked around a little bit till Orange decided to get a strap or some danglings for her phone...so on we tried looking...but not much avail till we went down B1 and chanced upon a phone accessories shop which she bought a strap for her phone.

After some confirmation, I got to know that Orange's going down Dbl O...checking with her, she said she shld not sustain beyond 3am so I agreed with it...Cellie did not tag along so we went on to City Hall to meet up with her friend Faith...then walked to the bus stop, we took the bus down to Dbl O...it was a short queue even though it was like 11-ish, so just went up to Dbl O and shared a table with others. Ordered a jug of beer and Gin Tonic, den got on to start our drinking session...then Orange suggested some shooters (can't exactly remember their names but they are sweet) so after that, we ordered another jug of beer and Gin Tonic. By that time there were like a guy or two chatting about here and there, and one whom we eventually joked into letting him saying that I'm a toy boy employed by both the ladies @ $50 an hour...OMG. I don't think I'm there yet, isn't it? HAHAHHA!!!

We finished everything up (and Retro ended rather early) and went down O Bar feeling high...blabbered a bit of stuff while waiting outside (serious, I can't remember what we said) and went in...ordered popcorn (salty - but who cares) and another pair of shooters for the 2 ladies...den started dancing...by the time everything ended it was nearly 4am...I think. Took cab and sent both of them back before I went back...then this cab driver started a conversation...

Driver: so what are you doing now? Working?
Me: Yeah
Driver: so are you attached now?
Me: No (high enough to not wonder why he's asking that)
Driver: so which one of the two are you interested?
Me: (sober enough to speak truthfully) ehm, none of them. One of them is taken, the other I only got to know today
Driver: then why are you not attached?
Me: You think so easy meh...such things is fated one lah...
Driver: Aiya don't say fate la...fate only an excuse...you not young already right, should go find one liao...don't wait till next time cannot find then jialat...nowadays people like that, they think too confident of themselves, think can find den keep giving excuses not to find...
Me: ... ... ...

Haha...weird.
