on sun went to my uncle's medical shop nearby for lunch, den he brought my family to Ris Grandur Condo to c their showflat... suppose my dad wants to buy one to invest.... (after tonnes of naggin frm my mom, 'why ppl haf tis n tat... y we dun haf anything...') seemed like flats nowadays haf a small living rm concept.. cant even fit a TV set.... how on earth is everyone gonna squeeze.... into tis tiny little space? imagine.... my grandma's usual sat gatherin would haf consist of 20++ ppl, includin the kids. we would sit n chat at the sofa area while the kids will sit n play ard... my god.. every step u take, u gonna stamp on sumone's feet or u gonna tumble onto sumone's back... goosh.... nvm tat... the price... !!!! it's gonna take me 20 yrs n almost 3k (= S$ 3,000) per mth juz 4 e four walls... excludin maintainance fee n PUB bills, etc..... where e heck can i get tat sum of $$ .... (0_o")

though the thought tat everything, like the swimmin pool, gym, n courts are within reach, for the same amt i rather stay in a comfy 5 rm HDB flat with nearby facilities.... more rm to invite ppl to stay over too...

HiYa !!

Miss me??? Ain ard for the past two weeks… guess everyone’s sick of visiting my BLOG le ba?? ekekek Last blog was 13 days ago.. sianzzzzz ‘13’, kinda suey leh… but who cares… it’s oni a blog…. Not as if it’s gonna fail on me again… anyway the tag board has been a pain in the a**. Dun understand y sometimes the blogger fails too. Haiz…. Think too many ppl noes abt it n started to blog too le ba.

Anyway, times reali flies…..it’s juz a week more to my 22nd birthday, n tis year… there’s a special sum1 whom I can share it with…:>
Lookin @ last year’s party VCD (all thanks 2 my best gal, miko n her fren) I reali felt the warmth n joy from everyone ard me. My cousin even brought it home n watched it ample times…. Still laughin whenever she sees e part where I went ard smashin cake into ppl’s faces. I noe that everyone present are nice ppl whom cares for me (Thank you for being there). But think m tired of always settin up parties and all… thus tis year gonna kinda low profile a little. Maybe sum gatherin wif my ex-colleagues n frens ba.

Okie… back to where I started… for the past two weeks… nothing reali came up… juz felt tat things ain tat stable wif the job at Deyi Sec already. Latest update frm the TR was tat they gonna merge wif NLB’s (National Library Board). by den, they might not need me anymore… den I’m gonna haf to seek another job vacancy lor…. TR was expectin tat the merge will oni mean tat NLB will be bulk loanin the school wif books n oso getting a librarian to be stationed here to do all the physical processin whatsoever. Den havin me stay put to concentrate on the admin n educating / assisting of the students n teachers on the availability of information from the internet n resources out there.
Yet the worst has come….. the P came in ytd morning n mentioned she’s considerin on the closin down of WHOLE LIBRARY (or rather Cybrary) or resizin the library (if there’s a need for one) to a smaller one. Coz she sees no point in havin a library when the usage is at it’s minimal… I was thinking… u ppl were the one to stop the students from comin into the library during school hours den how u expect the usage to increase? Owaz disallow tis, not suppose to do tat… den books in the library ain up-to-date nor available…. How u gonna attracts students to come in n use in the 1st place.. sighzzzzzz looks like ppl frm the mgmt oni noes how to talk but nv to look at things frm the lower point of view, our pt of view… I wonder how did they manage to climb so high onto the mgmt ladder in the beginning.. contra, the P is one level BELOW me….physically speakin… hahahahahahahahaha.

Haiz, but still I gonna be prepared 4 e worst case scenario… coz come to think abt it… all tis, if approved n decided… it’s gonna take place nxt yr n lookin @ e calendar… it’s oni mths away frm 2005. If they reali decide on closing e library.. leavin me wif nothing to work on den it’s reali time for me to think think think again.. Either to go back to studies n get my degree as planned earlier or to continue workin gainnin experiences n $$$$$ to work on my goal to settin up a cyber café so tat my students, colleagues n frens haf a place to call our own n hang out at…. Coz I reali miss e ties where we can chill out n talk till dawn but dere owaz e problem of location n timing… thus if I can get a gd place n set up a café.. it’s gonna do everyone gd… n can earn $$ n provide part-time for those waitin for ‘O’ too… suggestions ani1?

My SuRpRiSe :>

{wanted to write tis the moment i step home last nite... but my bro was hoggin to the PC...}

last nite after work, esther, eleen n me went to NTUC to buy some stuff to stock up the library den kenneth came to meet us too... afterwhich wenqiang came to fetch me home.. thought tis was nothin???? neh.... hao xi hai mei shang chang

upon reachin home... i was bz helpin out at my dad's coffeeshop. there were a few tables of workers comin to have a celebration of some kind thus kept orderin n reorderin drinks... plus it was dinner time... the coffeeshop was packed... *phew*

juz when things started to calm down n thought i could get a breather... my handphone beeped.. it was my bf askin me to meet him at Waterfront in 45mins, plus... no qns asked..hmm.. wondering wat's he's up to. moreover it was already half past 8pm!! (it's gonna past his bedtime by den we head home) still... to cease my curiosity (i think it's somehow related to his earlier sms, askin for a florist @ tis time of the nite) n play along... i hurrily went upstairs to take a shower (think i was shiverin still n anticipatin) n took a cab down to Waterfront..

he wasnt there at the time of meeting, thus i msg him... but his reply was "wait for me @ e carpark k", lettin my guards down... i thought maybe it was nothin afterall thus walked back again to the carpark in front of Igors (sigh... place of old memories...) waited, waited, waited... den @ 9.40pm, my hp beeped again... tis time e msg read "u there? nw slowly walk to de place where we sit k hehe until ya c a card k." (O_0") diao... seriously wonderin wat's he playin.. but still he insisted i was walk over..

walked past a a few couples, den from afar i saw a card placed nicely on the seat n saw the shadow of my boy... walkin away... huh... den there was tis old couple walkin forward.. (oh no... wat if they sat down... how m i gonna pick up e card den??!!) *phew* luckily they juz walked past n was smiling @ me -_-"' took a 2nd glance at my boy but he disappeared... eh??? den i picked up the card n saw there were writtings in it..thus went up to the lamp n tried to read it under the dark sky.. as i was strugglin to finish readin the card.. he showed up from behind the bridge where a cruise boat was parked... thru the pit dark path, i could c he was carryin somethin in his hands.... n as he walked nearer... the truth was revealed.. he was carryin the bouquet of 9 roses (as promised in his card). 9 sept 2004 actually marks the 99th day that we are together as a couple n thus the idea of buyin me the 9 roses to signify "together forever - chang chang jiu jiu", how much more touchin n romantic can it get.. havin him remember the no. of days we spent together, even had e thought of expressin his promise of love wif the flowers...

despite his bz work schedule n tired body, he still went thru all the trouble to find a florist whom operate till so late... n e embrassment carryin the bouquet frm the mall to the carpark.. hehe... (reali reali m touched n appriciate the efforts u haf put in to make e nite so wonderful... thought not all tat perfect as u expected nor wanted it to be, but it's as beautiful as it is already - coz u're by my side :>)

WaT a Hectic WeeKenD

Hmm... let's c... where should i start....

Friday: had our Cybrary buffet, thinkin tat i could juz sit back n relax. enjoy the food and all yet i had facial 'steamin' all nite thru... frm the time i was down at the BBQ pit, i saw tat one of the BBQ pit was already set up nicely n cooking away but den the one wif nick 'in-charge' was still merely surviving.... thus was tempted to help poor Nick start the fire... afterwhich... i was oso in doubt whether if food cooked by him were really edible. ended up... i was there again.... in front of the pit cooking n addin charcoal for the fire... my hands were so dirty tat i couldn't reply my SMSes... had to even call my 'daughter', Esther to pick up my call when my bf called... knowin tat he's tired waitin for my replies tat he decided to call n see if i was really to go home...

my poor guy has been workin all week, still need to work on Sat morn... but still, he patiently waited at home, wantin 2 send me hm aft my BBQ. Nontheless, sent Esther, Sherry, Meng Lee back b4 fetchin my cousins frm Hougang, sendin ALL of us to Bedok (it was already 11pm plus.. even FM 933 Ying Yue Ri Ji was on...) den finally gg hm to bed...
"xing ku ni le :>"

Saturday: slept at 1am tis morn aft comin back frm the BBQ n the plannin of menu for my aunt's steamboat tonite... i was up n cookin at 7am... was makin pancakes to prove myself wrong... tat i can still make e pancakes i once perfected while stayin at my uncle's place. but it seemed like failure again... den my aunt's maid suggested the use of butter instead of cookin oil... but failed too.. hmm... we were den wonderin if it's becoz of the mixture tat we failed... coz both of us haf experience makin pancakes... cant be tat both of us ain able to make ONE single pancake nw...
sigh... aft 1 hour of battle wif the consistance of mixture, different types of oil, cookin methods, n fryin pans. WE decided to SURRENDER !! MY aunt n cousins were all up already n yet breakfast ain ready.. thus my aunt suggest tat we eat at the hawker center n on the way, buy those ingredients for tonight. <> marketin was fun... missed e times when i was younger, the times where u could still c live chickens flutterin in the cages, customers choosin n arguin wif the butcher abt which wan is fatter or looked livelier for the kill...

back frm marketin... it was preparations non-stop (or rather aft a peek at e tv for half an hour)... especially thankful for my aunt's maid, Sumira ... coz she still had to cook lunch for us while i oni helped in e washin of rice n veg. I den help unpack all those stuff tat we bought frm the market n supermarket... distribute n organised those to be given to my other relatives to bring home (10 packs of veg for oni $1 !!), those to be cooked (crab !! yum yum, fish, chicken wings), n those to be DIY cooked either in the steamboat cooker or the BBQ Tray aft unpackin, lunch was ready... thus got my cousins n aunt, who was nappin to dig in... den i got hold of Sumira, told her wat are to be done first n wat r the dishes tat she's gonna cooked. after tat i went over to fetch my grandma (our grand mentor) to come over n guide us in our preparations, while my aunt went on a 2nd round of shoppin to get more stuff tat we missed out buyin durin our mornin's DA4 CAI3 GOU4 (mega buy)...

when i was back wif my grandma... i started fryin chicken wings, toufu, cookin asam sauce den slicin all the hotdogs, crabsticks, blah blah blah...... suddenly both tables in the kitchen were full of things to eat... but my aunt wasn't worried.... she said,"u n ur bf can haf the last rd n finish everything up..."

e nite passed quickly, oso wif e occassionally sneak out for him to haf a breather.... i could c tat while i was still bz in the kitchen, he was sittin alone @ e livin room... all tense n dunno wat to do.. no matter wat.. i still appriciate him for makin the trip down even though he had a long day @ work...... ;p
