It's been almost 3months since I last blog... bz bz all the while as dearie is trying to set up and establish his new company. Getting work done in every possible way / datelines is hard work... Every now and then I also had to do 'part-time' -- as a bangalah (sweep floor), secretary (type quotes & invoices), etc... but at least I get to spend some more time with him.

Nevertheless, on Sunday, we just got ourselves a puppy from Wen Han's colleague. Coz they have moved and the pup was not allowed to follow. Poor little fellow was going to be thrown out on the streets if no one is going to adopt her.

It's a female Jack chi (jack russell cross chihuahua) who is 1yr old now...
Very hyper active, doesn't like to bathe and is also able to 'burn midnight oil' with us...

Will try to post a few photo of her later on.
Geeshz, trying to get her to stay still for a snapshot requires 2 ppl !!

2007-02-27T11:19:00.000+08:00

Haizzz... Went back to Malaysia with Koibitoh, end up injuring my hand again when playin Go Kart...

1st day of CNY 18 Feb... crashed my car into the big umbrella and tore off the skin on my right palm...

till now, still recovering....

the crack near the beginin of the wound... was formed just on Sat, 24 Feb. Happily thinking its healed, i pressed my whole palm onto the floor to stand up... then i felt a spilt and saw it bleeding :<

taste of hydroxide = PAIN... TORTURE !!

Batam Trip 1 - 3 Feb 2007 with parEntS & GranDpArentS laH... PART 1

2007-02-06T09:10:00.000+08:00

It was quite a smooth trip to Batam... except for the 'punishment' we had at the gantry.

They have computerised the check-in from Singapore and we were told to DIY our own departures and even had to do fingerprinting.
After which when we want to enter the departure hall - we had to 'stand in a line' by the aisle because we were 3 mins earlier !! Yes, we had gone thru the security check without knowing it wasn't time to check-in thus with the boarding card (looks & use like ezlink) on hand the gantry will not allow us to pass through.

we were stuck at this little corner between the gantry and the guards while everyone walked by and scan their boarding pass... :< so paiseh...

Anyway, reached Batam in exactly 45mins but the terminal had no more dock space for us... so we were stranded by the side of the terminal for at least another 15-20 mins... -_-"

Here's some snap shots I took when we first reached our resort...

View of the pool side and sea from above... Our 'chalet' is situated above the restaurant, reception, and everything else.

Welcome to 'my house' for the next 3 days...

Here's the inside view... got long balcony, 2 rooms (each with it's own toilet) and air-condition... which was rather not neccessary...

BUT ...

goosh... pool is dried up, fishing pool has no fish... :< = no ENTERTAINMENT !!

New Year, New Beginning, New Stuff, New Car !!!

2007-01-13T16:46:00.000+08:00

A Slow and Steady new start for 2007....

As some might say, I slept thru the Year 2006, and began 2007 in a refreshing mind...

Hmm, New Year was going into a good start, with me having new roles to 'play' at work. Having my performance bonus... Spending 300++ for new year clothes (which originally costed 600++) for my family, and not forgetting my koibitoh :>

Need to save up more money also, as I am taking my driving practical lessons.
Yup, you SAW that right... I passed my basic theory on 12 Dec 06 and had since applied for my PDL to kick start my driving lesson... At first I thought it was only after you have passed your Advanced theory tat you den can only take up practical lessons... But on second thought, I remembered studying in the basic theory tat after you passed, you CAN applying for PDL to drive. Only catch is that you NEED to PASS final theory before you take practical tests.

So without further consideration, I applied for my PDL on the very same day and it would also mean it's gonna expire sonner... yup, PDL is renewable every 6mths. But it would also mean if I pass my final on 31 Jan 07, all i need to do is brush up on my practical and I could possibly drive on the roads by JUNE 07 !!!

That is if I buck up on my practicals... instructor reminded me tat I'm still careless, remember to change gear, forget to check rear mirror. Turning smooth, forget to off signal... sigh...

As I kept talking about Stepwagon... heeheehee... It's finally here... We took it for a spin in JB but coz new car, can't drive more than 80km/h. Thus to and fro took us 4hrs !!

When we back at Spore, stopped at petrol kiosk to buy some stuff... Took a snapshot, heehee... Koibitoh said I so vain... :P will take another shot when we change to leather seats... (as promised by the car agent)

Older by a Year = Wiser by the Year *NOT

2006-09-29T17:56:00.000+08:00

Hee hee...
Yah lah.. for those of u whom forgot, it's MY BIRTHDAY....!!

Ekek... din expect a little surprise in the office... my covering supervisor actually got me a presie!! My 1st for this year...

Now waiting for my koibitoh to bring me out for dinner... :>

Me in a new perm....

2006-08-21T15:37:00.000+08:00

On 6 Aug 2006

I went to have a hair cut... at my bf's usual saloon... but... in the end I sat there for more than 5 hours... y?

read the title for this post...

2 weeks have since past... and it is me... :>

My 'Working' Plant

2006-08-21T15:23:00.000+08:00

Ekek... rather my botak plant that was grown with help from my koibitoh's mom....

Last year in Sept... my workplace had a forum and we got a pot & seeds to grow flowers....

See the current progress (botak = no flowers bloomed)

This was months ago... when I first planted the seeds into the soil provided...

With a little sunshine from office (toilet) ekek... It grew...

Impatient with her progress... I brought it back to my koibitoh house. So that it will get more sunshine and care... But.... no flowers bloom... so we are suspecting it's a HIM....

Mr Brown has his very own song...

2006-07-20T16:38:00.000+08:00

Only thing I heard was the Zhng my Car show... and today during my course... I found out he has created his own song

My same date yet different year sista wedding !! 17 - 18 Jun 06

2006-06-19T13:07:00.000+08:00

Phew... wat a weekend for me... Not tat I was catching soccer throughout... but it was as tiring as tat.

Shida (as we liked to call her) was having her wedding ceremony on 17 Jun 06.

Different from chinese traditional wedding, I only had to be at her house by 11am on the day itself.

*Shucks, as I realised that the camera that I brought along was not charged :<*

Went to the block opp. her place to get my hair done up first, since her sister and cousin were going too.... though it looked like something tat I previously did b4, it still looked pretty on me.. ekkekek...

later on, realised that hairdos for the day were all complimentary from the bride herself. Thank you mak ! (tat's wat I called her, ever since she took care of me like her own baby sista)

By 12 plus the house was getting more and more crowded. Relatives and friends all came to give their well wishes... but too bad.. the bride was locked up in her room with her makeup artist cum dresser cum hairstylist (sama like chinese de but she got more barang barang compared wif chinese stylist). I got to go in subsequently after I changed into my baju. Yes, I had to change too coz I'm the nxt important person other den the bride coz I'm the bridesmaid...!! And never can you guess, this bridesmaid is as bz as the bride herself coz I had to change into 5 suits within the nxt 2 days.

Smart as I was, I managed with 2 suits on Sat and another 2 on Sun. heehee Got away with another 1 which was supposed to be for Sat, where the bride did changed into 3 different gowns.

You gonna wait awhile to see the photos as the pros needs time to develop and send it back to the newly-wed. Sad me nv take solo shoots lor... coz blur me nv charge camera batt...

2nd day (18 Jun 06) to groom's side, I haf managed to only capture a pix of myself after my dearest came all the way frm serangoon to simei to fetch me hm :>

can you imagine how packed and crowded was the groom's celebration, with 2000 guests expected... I only know the poor couple had to take photos after photos after photos and smiled all the way through that they had to haf late lunch (tis actually dued to the preparations by their 'own committee') People were coming frm everywhere, heard even overseas like penang and india.... phew...

luckily it was from 11am to 5 - 6pm and from the bride's side, we only reached the function hall slightly after 1pm.

W3 on 12 May 2006

2006-06-09T16:45:00.000+08:00

Here's some photos taken when I went Wild Wild Wet last mth...

Gee... think I really look fat... even in the previous post... Sigh... :<

I saw VVIP season 2....

2006-06-09T16:33:00.000+08:00

This time round... saw the emperor and emperess of Japan..!!

Konichiwa !!!! Remember how staff welcome you when u enter into a Japanese restaurant? Really felt like saying Rasei Masei (Welcome) when they enter... not !!

The whole environment was so intense even 1/2 hour before the VVIP arrive at Lvl 11. Compared to the previous arrival of Queen Elizabeth... this was very strict and secured... SPF ppl were standing guard almost everywhere.

Even their camera crew was so COOL.... Cameramen, ladies, reporters, etc they were all in black suits and jackets !! Standing beside our local photographer... -_-" t-shirts, jeans, out-of-bed look...

ok lah... our photographers not so bad lah (at least for today) they were in shirts and ties... except for a lady who was in jeans...

we weren't really allowed to take photos of the royal family... thus... my Samsung phone din come into good use also.. it has that irritating click when u take a pic. Nevertheless, got our in-house photographer to take a photo of me and a colleague sitting on the VERY chairs that the emperor and emperess sat when they were signing our autograph bk... (yah NOT my book lah)

Sashimi....

2006-05-15T10:18:00.000+08:00

We went to Suki Yaki for lunch... Saw me eating raw salmon... with wasabi...

In the end...

Yes. I dared him to eat just one little piece (not really very small also - to him, ekek) Yup, and I swore he won't be having this 'treat' on our BIG day... hahahahahaha...

So everyone and anyone reading this... can he our witnesses... in case I go against my words...

We're leaving... Buai buai Perhentian

2006-04-18T11:01:00.000+08:00

Sad to leave but we have to go...

Beautiful Bride

2005-09-13T10:29:00.000+08:00

Juz attended my sec sch classmate's ROM on 8 sept 2005. 2nd ROM tat i've attended so far. But things ain as smooth flowing as it looked on e 1st tat i went for.

Let's juz say, it was a long long wait juz for a few moment of quiet time and blessings for the couple. Minutes after we entered JOY room, justice of peace spoke and made the couple exchange their rings and said their vows. We were 'rushed' out of the room, without any other photos being able to be taken in the room with the newly-wed nor the justice. sian....

but still we managed to get a few other pics taken while we were waiting to enter the ROM and also later at lunch at e Mansonic restaurant which is juz a walk away and served nice lunch buffet... *droolin*

When we all reached ROM to meet the bride and groom...Ladies, frm the bride's side

And we waited... to enter the JOY room. where 2 people who were singles when entering, will be officially bond together and exit as Mr n Mrs Loo... *hey, i'm nt jokin but groom's surname is really LOO*

Lunch time !! Blessings from everyone who attended the ROM...

A pHoNe CaLL

2005-08-26T15:33:00.000+08:00

Gee... was happily chattin on the phone wif my dearie... and a second line beeped thru... unfamiliar no. but was wondering if it might be important, thus got off wif him n retrieved the second call.

"Hello. I'm Sandy from NLB..."

NLB...!!! NLB... = National Library Board

I was juz abt to get all worried and yet excited as today was the dateline of the 2 weeks tat Sandy had earlier spoke of. I had an interview on Monday, 8 Aug and she did mentioned I should get a call from her w/i the nxt 2 weeks if nt I'll b gettin a letter to state tat my interview and application was unsuccessful.

Worried as it's gonna be another journey of job hunting... which I have been embarking on. Plus if it's gonna be as preferred by the head of panel of interviewers tat day. They gonna place me in the New Reference Library @ Bugis, which means I'm gonna have to work on Saturdays n Sundays = no time to spend with my DEARIE.... omg....

Excited as it's gonna mark the end of my no $$ to spend days....

"I'm calling to see if you're still interested in the opening of the Library Officer." said Sandy
She called to tell me that the panel has come to a decision and is interested in roping me in as a Library Officer for the New Reference Library.

aiyah... mind confused... dunno wat to write... spoke to Serene and Ian. They're both happi for mi as I've found a job... but y m I still frowning as I'm writing tis... sigh.... guess u might guess it n they both knew.... no mood to continue nw... gonna go out for appt soon.... maybe come bk refreshed will continue with the phone conversation n the part which made it difficult to make my decision...

Nw I confirm go try my luck, told him of my 'workin schedule' den guess wat he say... "beta go find those admin jobs u were lookin at"... ekek....

seriously, at times... i was wondering if i did the right move. by leaving DYSS so hasely or was it not a carefully thought thru decision tat i've made since june... for almost 2 weeks nw... i've been doin nothin except lookin for jobs online and surfin my emails n chattin occassionally and keepin my dearie company...

I was being interviewed by 3 ppl today. first was the manager whom i spoke to on wed, followed by 2 team leaders - one in charge of asia-pac: japan, taiwan and china? and the other asia-pac: australia and new zealand.

They looked really nice ppl, but I was really taken aback by the qns that they were asking...

"if i were to call your current empolyer, what would be the weaknesses that they might point out about you?"

"how would you see yourself delegating work to other?"

"how does your family and friends comment / look at you as?"

"did you encounter inter-conflicts with your colleagues, how did you deal with it?'

"what is your thoughts abt stress, how do you cope with stress?"

gosh, i never thought going through an interview with an international company would be that major. Really opened my eyes to a whole world...

geesh was i kinda put thru 'hell' within tat timeframe of 20mins !! can u imagine? juz 20mins and it felt like ages... previously that hour long conversation with the manager alone, wasnt tat bad.. or maybe as wat she said, it's early in the mornin and maybe the slpbug was still loiterin in her head...

confidence level - downscaled to 55%?? dunno... manager looked impress but haf to win over the other 2 leaders too...

pray hard n counting down to Monday... 3 days to go...

365 days ago... on tis very same day... I was still hard at work and even after work I still had to rush down to Tampines from Ang Mo Kio... to help out at my uncle's medical shop. Afterwhich, I received an sms, asking wat time I'm going home, do I need a ride... never did I expect... it became the ride of my life....

Driving me to a secluded area in Ponggol... searching for the stars in the sky for mi... it was a windless nite and the place was kinda packed with ppl fishing and strollin... he popped the question... but I hestitated... he was disappointed... he persisted... and when he sent mi home... I agreeded...

Looking back, it seemed like oni ytd, when it happened.... and now he becomes indispensable in my life...

2 days ago, when i was at home, he sms and told mi he was going to be late... later on, he called and mentioned he'll be coming by later to fetch mi... but since after the call... i waited for an hour... to no sign of his car... was wondering wat was e delay... tried calling his handphone and it was engaged... " maybe the batt flat" but as time passed... i was beginning to wonder... if something actually happened... tried to call a couple times more... still off... called his brothers... no one answered too... another hour passed.... i was on my feet and out the door... tryin hard to spot his vehicle... every cab and car tat might possibly haf in him... but none... den at 10pm, he sms and said he's coming... my heart sank....

when he appeared at my door step, he looked tired n exhausted.... he looked unhurt... thus i pondered and asked wat had happened... he was smiling... n passed me a FEDEX n told mi to open...
thinkin it must e my surprise for our anniversary... inside it was yet another box... den... i saw my watch... shaped in a spaceman helmet... i was stunned n speechless.... he was missing for so long juz to get my watch done... *my poor dearie* gone thru so much to get e stuff for mi n put in some much effort it make it perfect n nice for mi... i'm so touched...

lookin at wat i've done for him, i'm so belittled...
**wonder if he likes mine present for him...**

Wah so accurate ah... extracted from yahoo horoscope... n nw even the Straits Times is also getting the horoscope from the same source....

Libra -
It's time to talk about whatever it is that's been keeping you awake at night and preventing you from concentrating during business hours. You've tried to handle it alone, and that hasn't worked. Ask for help.

but anyway.... tat has nth to do wif my home alone stuffie.... it's becoz... today is e day where my parents haf 'retired' n is gg abroad for a vacation...!!! felt so hapi for them as they haf finally stopped the ordeal of havin to toil n moan abt the shop... but oso kinda sad tat they gonna leave us all alone in Singapore... it's nt as if tis is the first time ... juz tat... earlier they went redang wif my bro while i went to lang tengah... n its oni for a couple of days... tis time round... my dad arranged to go back to his 'hometown' in China n will b away for 2 FULL weeks.... n all tis while i'm gonnna b stuck wif my bro....argh....

last nite helped them to make last minute arrangements... packed their stuff into bags... make sure they've got all things they needed... blah blah blah... n finally went to bed at 1am...

later gonna try to make it to the airport to send them off... wanted to surprise them.. but seriously worried tat i wun make it in time... thus had to let them noe last nite tat i'll b mtg them at the airport b4 their departure... :<

Finally.... got everything together and now it's photo viewing time :> ekek.... there's a few blurred (but i looked nice in it !!! shrugs....) due to my poor photo technique with digital camera... sad... but overall still okie lah...

okie okie... no talk no talk... Here we go....

actualli wanted to take the catfish inside the water... but seemed like nt successful coz of oil pollution at the jetty....

after exactly 10 hours of coach and he still looking fresh... reali cant wait to get there i suppose...

please oh please dun tell mi we're takin tis boat over... it looked as if it gonna give way anytime...

okie... here come's our transport... at least got shelter... but once inside.. it's a bumpy 30mins ride in tis 20++ seater speedboat

man-made rainbow.... a little console over the bumpy ride but wen han was sayin "u wanna see, go my workplace when the gardener is watering the plants... u get even BIGGER RAINBOW -_-"

upon reaching, we had a briefing by one of the staff called Bi (by) and it was free n ez till lunchtime... so we put our bags n roam ard the area... spotted e hammerock !! shiok !!

my turn.... but was worryin tat i might fall off it... as you noe they always film funi videos of ppl fallin frm it.. seriously wonder how tat guy managed to squeeze into tat tiny thingie...

the pub cum KTV cum disco... looked quite small... but spacious enuff... hopefully it's gonna be happening lah... we'll see abt it later on tonite... pssh... later found out oni got limited range of songs for KTV... one spotlight as DISCO... makin everyone dizzy instead lolz... and drinks were oni tiger, caslberg or coke -_-"

the surfer board at the main entrance of the pub... cant see much though... but it was oso here where we saw fire works... lighted by another grp of guests who arrived on 29th April.. but after the 2nd one, they got warned by the manager coz it's nt allowed.. i suppose they were worried tat nearby ships might think it's an SOS signal n later all come to the resuce...

view of the sea from where the pub is... nice hor... even wen bin was droolin over it... ekek...

blurred 1 - e resident squirrel named boi boi, he's been ard sq pt lang tengah since he was a baby... thus he's nt scared ard ppl... in fact.. earlier during tea break i even managed to feed him toast bread... after a multiple unsuccessful attempts by our man... lol (u noe who)...

blurred 2 - suppose 2 b my victory photo after i won wen qiang in 3 times in a row... in a game of malay boardgame... forgot wat's it called le... but anyway.. after day 1 of failure... he managed to learn the trick and won me, every game till the nite b4 we went back :(

blurred 3 - we pratically spent time at the hammerock every day... without fail... but tis time rd seemed to nt get the photo nicely... sad... i pose so nice... sigh...

the view of the sea when i am lying on the hammerock... nice rite??? peaceful rite.... want to go already rite.... heehee... ask mi lor.. i got lobang there now liao...

as we were preparing to go for the jungle trekking... tis boi had to play with all my stuff... (or rather the bandana and glasses) den rack everything tat's in my purse n pouch... (*whisper* - he even applied my lip gloss.... lolz)

our group... we arrived together on 290405 nt knowin one another... but we depart n returned to our own homeland... as frens sayin bye bye n take care... there's suppose 2 b another couple wif us but it seemed they rather spent it alone... n one more lady.. is our photographer lor... oso MIA den e malay-lookin man on the extreme rite is our guide of e day - the lone ranger...

along the route we were brought to a well where it's not being used already... when there used to be civilisation here... they depended on this well for water.. but ever since a person jumped in n ppl saw a head near where the guide's hand is... they moved out of the island le... scenario sound familiar??? ekek....

along the left side of the photo is a trail left by a lizard... it sneak up to the hole to eat the sea turtle's eggs...tis is the spot where sea turtles are often spotted to breed...

a snapshot at turtle bay...

a snapshot of the sea at turtle bay...

climbing down a steep slope along the cliff side...

dennis spotted a crack with water that's crystal clear... guess the sea water must haf been filtered or rather magic...?? lols

a closer look at the crack and u can even spot fish inside...

almost back where we started... earlier the route was needing all our four limps thus cant tk anymore photos... den now relax liao... take some more lor... ekek... tis is some kind of fruit tat's a bunch like grapes but yet frm far it looked like pineapple hanging on a tree...

blue coloured flowers tat looked like blue berries from afar....

sob sob.... i'm back in reality... back at work.... sigh.... but it was all worth while... except for the stupid incident on the trip bk... tat made my dearie spent a bomb for a cab bk hm juz to e hm earlier to catch a little more slp....

coach was travellin by the coastal route and went kuantan before comin bk to JB...
we had quite a few breaks here n dere... KS ppl had to always go down... window shoppin... if nt buy tonnes of local products or tibits for the road... kept havin us wait for them....
den worst still, near the expressway to JB, dere was an accident (car crashed into the railings / road divder) and caused a major jam... luckily our driver heard of it when we stopover at Yong Peng, so we had to tk another route tat took a little more time....

worst of all....juz when we thought we are within reach frm home... 2 stupid girls frm a group had to happily leave their bags in e coach when we reached e spore customs... thus the coach was retained by e guards to do a chk n questions the girls... since the case... we decided to leave the coach and took a cab directly at woodlands and head bk home... by the time we were bk... it was 2am already... unpacked a little... showered, hit the bed... we were up again at 6.15am.... unwillingly but no choice.... head for work...

will upload the photos later on.... took over 100 shots... ekek... so must filter thru.... and slowly upload all of them after i recover from the trip.... maybe in another 2 - 3 days bah... till den.... :>

2005-04-26T11:26:00.000+08:00

It's bk to that time again... every now and den.. u'll cum across tat stupid crossroad... and haf to decide which way to turn... now tat i'm approaching July 2005, wif my contract ending... i'm faced with the dilemma once again....

As some of you know... I've been with Deyi Sec as a Library Officer for almost 2 yrs nw... and tis past yr had been a hard one... especially when P is new, VP is newer and cums another in-charge who's NEW to teachin.... -_-" everything tat was once a teacher's job landed into my ever increasing job scope... plus, with P and VP tryin to beautify their own portfolio, to gain promotions later on, they are also pressin down hard on the teachers and me to work on the library area and invite more students to visit the library and create a 'happening' atmosphere

struggling to work with datelines and creating new ideas, plus the usual work load... things haf never been the same...

Crashed and burnt

2005-04-23T16:13:00.000+08:00

Juz came back from a briefing as a tuition co-ordinator..

u noe... those tat are often published in the papers.... stating it home-based, earn $$ and all tat stuff... haf always wondered what the heck its all abt... juz a couple days ago.. i saw one tat was located juz 5 mins bus ride away.. den i thought... y nt... juz call up and c wat's e whole deal abt it...

so.... tis is it... u SIGN UP as a member... make use of a DATABASE full of tutors, tat they haf built up already, and wah la.... u wait for ur money to roll in... no lah.. nt so easy... u got to FIND ur own students for the tutors... and after a match, u collect 50% of the first month's tuition fee from the tutor... it so happen also tat this mangaer of the agency was a ex-teacher in Deyi... and he's so interested in roping me in after he knows i'm still at Deyi... kinda feel cheated... but as all things are... small money nt out... big money nv rolls in...

Nah... i din join them... still considering though... but NOPE I DIN PAY anything or sign anything..

Still, tis ain nothin... it was oni when I called home after realising tat I had a missed call... My dad had to tell me tat the NUS letter was HERE.... he was so excited and 'beg' to open it up... "watever... juz open lor.." i said... and my batt went flat...but in my heart i knew wat was the result...

"So, how was it?" i asked when i reached home.. my dad had to turn ard and gave me tis sad look... "Din make it, guess it's really hard to get in nowadays..."
At tat moment, it did hurt a little... disappointed i guess... for not makin it... thinkin m i tat bad in studies or is it juz becoz of the positions available were too minimal n tat NUS too strict in their requirements...
anyway... my dad asked if i was going to try again next year... i shaked my head... and said forget it.. i'm not reali tat keen on going back to studies anyway.. not nw at least... or mayb it's juz tat it's no point since i've left my chance behind... 3 years ago.. and tat chance is nv coming back again...

sigh... got to go back to packin up... and get my stuff together for my trip... :> watever it is can wait till i'm back from my trip :> i'm gonna enjoy myself first...

cherios

First thing in the mornin and I had to face the Sec 4 NA students.... playing around the lib... messing ard and playin with the computers which they are not suppose to in the first places....

wonder what the teachers are doing..... chatting with one another, if not marking their papers.... they're suppose to be here to guard the students from messing ard and yet they're closing both eyes as to what they are doing.... argh....

last friday, i already had a hard time cleaning up the library after the mess created by the NT students.... 3 full hours juz to tidy the shelves.... and now all these again... -_-"

i really suspect if i can really manage to tahan till end july... it feels like a waste to drop it all now plus my hard earned bits of bonus.... yet looking at these monkeys everyday.... i felt like surrendering all at once.....

Wat A GaL Wants / Thinks

2005-03-03T20:48:00.000+08:00

When a GIRL is quiet, Millions of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing, She is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions,She is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a few seconds,She is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you, She is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest, She is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL calls you everyday, She is seeking for your attention.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday, She wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL sms's u everyday, She wants you to reply at least once.
When a GIRL says I love you, She means it.
When a GIRL says that she can't live without you,She has made up her mind that you are her future.
When a GIRL says "i miss you", No one in this world can miss you more than that

Juz heard over the radio....

I'm from a broken family and has since lived with my mom after their official divorce.

Although life has been tough in the family... but i'm glad i have a wonderful boyfriend.... He will always pop by my class and chat, as and when there's a break time.

Everyday after school, he'll surely rush home to finish his homework and cycle down to my house and accompany me for lunch... often we'll also ride on his bicycle and wonder around the neighbourhood or juz sit at home and watch TV. By 5.30pm, he'll return home for his dinner and help his mom with the housework. Rain or shine, he'll den come over again at 7.30pm to keep me company till 11plus before he heads home for the day...

His dad wasn't happy abt him returning home so late... and warned him that if he ever return past midnite... he'll be locked out. Once, he wanted to celebrate my birthday for me, and returned home way past midnite... he was really locked out and had to sleep at the corridor for the nite. (I oso noe tis only recently)

Often then not, whenever valentine's day, birthday, etc... he will give me hand-made presents... u cant imagine wat he can make out of the daily things in life or juz a flower by the park...

There's once when i return from a 5 days camp for Christmas, he brought me a pair of slippers with my favourite cartoon characters.... but it was wat he said that made me so touched... "now you dun haf to walk ard the house bare-footed... i'm sure your cracked heels will heal soon"

It's all these little things that he did for me... made me feel that he's the one...

Carry Me In Ur Arms....

2004-12-14T13:24:00.000+08:00

One touching story...

To my married and unmarried friends: When You Divorce Me, Carry Me Out in Your Arms

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.

This was the scene of ten years ago.

The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid, I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school. Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy.

But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.

Dew came into my life. It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Dew said, You are the kind of man who best draws girls eyeballs. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls.

Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn t help doing so.

I moved Dew's hands aside and said, You go to select some furniture, O.K.? I ve got something to do in the company. Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised her to go and see with her.

At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me. However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment.

One day I said to her in a slight joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious.

When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.

Once again, Dew said to me, He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate anymore. When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. Ive got something to tell you, I said. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want to divorce. I raised a serious topic calmly. She didn't seem to be much annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? . I'm serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! . At that night, we didn t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew. With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.

Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.

A late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again.

She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn t want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month s time before divorce, and in the month s time we must live as normal life as possible. Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn t want him to see our marriage was broken.

She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day? This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember . You carried me in your arms , she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning. I accepted with a smile.

I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form. I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable.

My wife and I hadn t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger.

So when I carried her out for the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don't tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn t looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.

On the third day, she whispered to me, The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became vaguer.

On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger.

I didn t tell Dew about this. I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now.

She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, All my dresses have grown fatter. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart.

Again, I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head. Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it s time to carry mum out. He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life.

She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.

On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old. I held her tightly and said, Both you and I didn t notice that our life was lack of such intimacy.

I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I won t divorce. I m serious.

She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn t value the details of life, not because we didn t love each other any more.

Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you. Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into cry.

I walked downstairs and drove to the office.

When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me to write the greeting words on the card.

I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until we are old.

How 2 Cook Rice....

2004-10-12T09:13:00.000+08:00

Sigh.... nv did noe tat dere was sum tatic into cooking a pot of rice... whenever u watch tv or going to ppl's house to eat... e rice would normally b the least tat e cook would be bothered wif... sumtimes... ppl can even realised tat they FORGOT to cook the rice when meal was to b served.... ekek

but............. when it comes to e hand of e expert (= my dad :Þ), it's a whole lot of different story.

Juz when I thought tat the steamboat incident was way over.... knowin tat I really lack skill n ingredients in cookin the soup base. My dad popped mi another dissatisfaction last nite. I juz reached home ard 12mn frm another cooking session (preparing dinner at 9pm wif my bf's elder bro, wen hun, coz everyone's yet to eat, n was missin home-cooked food), n was feelin a little woozy frm my bottle of champagne, wanting to go to bed already... but my dad stopped me... askin me,"did u guys cooked the rice?" "yeah, I was the one who cooked it. y?" i replied. my dad was den shakin his head n explained,"no one complained abt ur rice? u guys din cook fried rice i suppose?" lookin confused n puzzled, i asked my dad wat was so wrong abt it.... coz to my knowledge, tat was the third pot of rice tat was cooked... 1st pot was prepared by wen hun, but consulted me if the water was enough... den subsequent 2 pots were cooked by me... even tonight's dinner.... i was the one who cooked e rice but the four of us managed to finish it all.... wifout a grain left... or maybe... one or two tat was stuck to the bottom of the pot... :>

my dad den explained," not tat i'm tryin to pull ur face down... maybe ur frens ain dare to comment abt ur cookin, worryin tat u might be angry.... but as ur father, i can tell u tat ur rice is too dry...

(he was suppose to join us for marketin, but suppose he was studyin for his exam all nite thru... thus we din disturb him) still we wanted to make him relax a bit thus the prank, askin "y he ain ready to go market.... it's already 9 plus n there wun b anything left if we r still not going."

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?

{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

2004-09-08T13:54:00.000+08:00

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

On Monday, Xy wanted to bring bread as breakfast... but since july I've already got used to havin breakfast wif my bf on our way to work... thus had my 'idea lamp' switched on, thinkin... "tis can be our breakfast for tmr... oso can let e disciple earn sum points wif his shifu..." thus told xy to grab as many in order to 'po' his shifu.

Den in e evenin, was worried tat juz e bread alone might not be filling... thus sneakily got ham n eggs to make sum egg n ham mayo... cooked 3 eggs under my mom's guidance n dad's irritation... my dad was looking in dismay too while i was slicing my ham. :P

Tuesday mornin when my bf can fetch me, we had the egg mayo bread n sandwich on the way to work... he was amazed n touched tat i made e filling... sayin tat it's tasty :> thus i said if he wants there's still filling back home for 2nd round tmr mornin.. he smiled n said, "I wan more fillin de". Geez... nv thought tis could make him so delighted...

I could consider doin tis often... but... e thing is wat to make every mornin... plus his mom sumtimes makes e breakfast for us... if i were to make summore... den wun he b caught in the middle n kept stuffin himself wif all e food n feel so bloated aft tat... my poor guy...

Goosh... i was abt to surrender to lala land when heard my phone beep... upon lookin it was my bro's sms. wonderin y he ain in class... i decide to chk out his msg... 'did u wake me up? coz i overslept. i JUZ woke up.' OMG... chk out e time now n suppose i woke him @ 7am... before i left for work... aniway, tis ain e drama i m suppose 2 talk abt... but e lead actor is none other than my own brother.... :>

last nite when i was slicin e mango puddin for my mom to try... she asked if i noticed any of my laundry was missin frm the corridor... i was stunned..., "i thought e whole ordeal was over when we caught 1 of the thief red-handed... even had to go to e police station a couple of times to record n verify my statement... damm..." den my mom hush me, sayin "nah, tis time rd e maniac was let off wif a warnin"... den my mom narrated e story...

it was ard 2am on wed mornin.. (tis meant it happened on tues juz tat it was past midnite... ekek) i was already in lala land n my bro was still playin PC, as usual, juz den... a shadow lurks past e corridor window. My brother spotted it... n immediately he opened the door and stuck out a pole to block e guy's path of escape... "wat e heck u doin here?" "me wanna find my slippers..." was e reply. lookin at his feet, indeed he wasn't wearin any, so he thought mabye tis guy reali mad in e head... "hold on, dun u dare move an inch..." said my brother... he took e key, opened the door n held tat guy's hands behind his back.. wantin to bring him downstairs to face my mom n dad... he saw a pair of slippers tucked nicely at the corner of our house towards the staircase... "obviously u were tryin sumtime furni rite, ain tis ur slipper here???"

when downstairs, he den realised e shop was closed n there ain a single soul nearby... left wif no choice, he let e guy off wif a warnin... "dun let me c u ard here again... or i'll call the police"... pissed but relieved tat nothin major happened nor lost.. my brother decided to haf a drink in e shop, thus took the inside staircase.. juz den spotted my mom still up n was packin sum stuff... he almost blasted... "where were u juz now??!! i juz caught one of the siao lang , came down yet saw e shop closed... din caught him red-handed, bo bian let him go le!!..."

"huh, reali ah... why din tell ur dad... ain he upstairs sleepin.. ur sis too ah... look at the time now, u want us to work till we die ah..."

realisin it isnt as early as he thought, he took his drink and went up to bed... wat a day...

NoT b@d... for a 1st try...

Ek ek... finally did my 1st mango pudding yesterday 'morning' after I finish my blog. Den got wenqiang to cum down n get it after his work @ 8pm.... his mom tried it too n said it was too soft, due to e quantity of water tat i used when boilin the mixture. Still, he was touched tat m finally 'confrontin' e stove 4 him... ekek.. he knew i cook but haf stopped since poly n he's kinda jealous... (ekek...tink i'm improvin ba.... can maybe expect more later...??)

Thought I used juz e same amt as stated... but guess all was revealled when there was a layer of white colour on e top of the pudding (according to him, it's because of the excess water wor....), e one i made for my mom looked e same too... she too said it's kinda soft.. but she gobbled one after another... b4 i knew it... a quarter of it was gone already... (mind u, she's nv into eating anything cold due to her sensitive gums n teeth) hahaha...

wanted to try my creation tis mornin but geez... searched high n low in all 3 fridges n couldnt find a single bit of its presence... guess my brother knew of it too n gob everything up altogether.... nvm, still got a box of almond favoured... maybe will try makin it nxt weekend... :>

it's been 4 days since m afk (away from keyboard), how time flies when u're enjoyin it... wed's another day away frm my bf :( den thurs back to work le....

let's make tis a long blog... since i'm been MIA for quite a while.... think i'll juz dump everything here... ekek....

here goes:

hmm... sat nth much... woke up in the late mornin, did sum housework, den accompanied my mom went to cut her hair. end up i too dye my hair orangy red... my mom was quite uncomfortable wif it... so does my bro n cousin when they saw it... even wenqiang was kinda surprised, think he din like e colour too... quoting, "ok lor"... wah, tried moving my clothes back hm frm my aunt's place den realised i got so many many clothes dere (tink can open 2nd hand shop sellin them all)... gonna make another trip or two lor... my mom's gonna kill me if she c e amt of clothes altogether.... -_-"

sun was e day.... :) cant wait to catch e fireworks wif lib gang n mi dear. it's been a while since we went out together... him being bz wif his work (startin tis week still must OT till late = no more gg back hm together aft wrk) n e gang; poly de poly, still stuck in deyi de; bz preparin 4 'O' level... was so excited n ks tat i arranged to meet up wif the gang as early as 4.30pm to go 'chop' 4 e best spot 2 watch e fireworks... at first david suggested e roof terrace in esplanade but i suppose e mgmt knew dere would b ppl wantin 2 hang dere... thus they closed e area. wif no choice we headed to e foyer beside e open space concert area.... dere was shade n it was by e river... how much beta can we get...
Due 2 e high response by ppl, when e time for fireworks draws nearer, me n my bf couldnt get thru already... thus we went further ahead hopin 2 get a clearer view as compared 2 where the gang r at. but stupid COCONUT TREE had 2 be in the middle of it all !! *shrugs* alrdy i had been squeezed like pan cake by e crowd for over half n hour den juz wanna enjoy e 5 mins of sparkle oso got deprived of.... sigh... beta then none.... had wenqiang dere wif me n shield me frm all e pushin n shovin of e crowd :) nth else mattered....
aft tat, tried searchin for e gang at e spot where they had been but in vain... tried to call but seemed all singals had been jammed up (at least for m1 n starhub tat is). We tried to walk out of the crowd, juz den xy spotted us n we decided to hang ard till e crowd lessen but seemed to be ppl mountain ppl sea everywhere. So wenqiang suggested tat we walked 2 e car first coz its parked quite a distance away... den on e way we can tink abt where to eat..
aft late dinner (10 plus??) at chomp chomp @ serangoon, all were into e idea of stayin out 4 e nite so i suggested watchin 'The Village' @ Bishan(sucky show =P, made ken slept, lee ming driftin in n out of dreamland... but kinda cute tat wenqiang n kun loong actually got scared by 'e creature' ekek...) , where yen siang works. killed e hours from 12mn till 2.30am, aftwhich we hung out by e beach @ ECP. e breeze was nice n we cld even spot orion up in the sky. it was nice to c them all enjoyin e nite... though at sum point of time... everyone was lost at wat to do...

sigh... seemed like the cupids r gone n here cums e dark 'angels'...

problems at work, stress in school, disappointed in relationship, pressure from home, etc etc etc... wat more can u expect frm when ur days are already so blue.... :<

was spendin the whole nite chattin, advising n consoling most of the ppl online... although sumtimes me felt helpless to the situations tat they're in.. but hopefully they'll feel beta after talkin it out. Reali wished I could do more to help u ppl in any way that I can lor.. :> if not, I'll always lend a listening ear no matter wat time n where I m... but... prior, u noe who m talkin abt lah, ekek den of coz he cum 1st lah. Actually, m at a loss at wat to say or do to comfort him too..

tis mornin was kinda quiet in e car, on the way to work... me tried to make conversation (which m nt gd at) n he kept givin me one word answers.. Looked like he still deep in thoughts... thus let him b lor... thinkin maybe he needed time to sort things out.. let him b alone lor... .

think me nt as 'smart' n carin as i thought i was ba... me oni keep quiet, dunno 2 ask abt it or juz let him to settle it by himself. but as a couple, u shld always share ur problems mah... (i'm not complainin ah.. but juz reali hoped i cld do more to help... ^_^)

Haiya... though ytd mission half-successful but at least we got a step further in gettin to know the ger and more opportunities to make conversations for ya???

Here's e "LoVe @ 1sT sgHt" story... (KeN ts 4 Ya 2 ReAd. I dn SaY iT's HeRe, m3r3ly sAiD gOnnA pOsT iT lAsT nt3, bUt SeeMeD sLppYbUgS gOt 3 b3tA oF m)

Boy, is a freshie in poly and on the day of the incident, he was workin... A group of JC girls came into the restaurant n was seated at Boy's section. Just den, Boy noticed a girl whom stand out within the group... she was wearin her school U tat was kinda different.. but she STAND OUT from the rest of the group. She looked kinda cute n lively (in Boy's eyes) with her shoulder length hair...

Thus whenever Boy goes over to serve them, he makes sure he gets a chance to speak to her... or at least let her notice he's there.... Time was pastin fast tat day.. Soon it was closin time and the girl left wif her group. Boy though tis is it... dere goes my dream girl...haizzzzzzzz

But all hopes were not lost. As he met her on the bus when he was going home after work!!!! Man, was he delighted... He plucked up his courage and when over to sit wif her.. n chatted... but after she alighted e bus... Boy realised he haf yet to get her no. !! geez...

Den on his advisor's support... he decided to try his luck again, waited at the bus stop. 1 bus came n went by but no sign of her.. his advisor left too (not coz ain supportin him, u urself noe lah eh.. ekek..) den Boy decided to board the next bus tat comes his way.. hahahahahahahaha.... she was on IT!!!!!!!

Tis time round, he ain gonna miss any chance to get her no., they chatted, n exchanged no. Since den started tis chain of smsin n mornin greetings.. But in his heart, he still wish to see her... thus the multiple attempts at the bus interchange, waiting... waitin... waitin...

Tis mornin had jiu cheng gao (noya - nine layered cake) made by my boyfriend's auntie... it was sweet n ain oily like those sold in the shops... he was tired of it after the 3rd piece while I was still enjoyin mine. Later I realised it was because his mom got him larger pieces... 1 of his = 2 of mine... ekekek....

but worryin he ain full yet cant finish his portion. I decided to 'trade' wif him. My 1 last small piece wif 2 of his. Anyway, I could still take it as tea break wherelse he ain free later till lunchtime le...

~felt tempted to learn frm his auntie but surely he's gonna tell me to cook for him to eat first...
but me haf nv nv step into the kitchen for a long time le... sigh... noes tat he reali wish I cld cook 4 him... As the saying says : "to get into a man's heart is thru his stomache". I thought to do so too but juz got e phobia... wat if... oh nvm....

I'll get over it sumhow... I'm sure I can work my way into e kitchen, juz need to figure out who's kitchen to b my lab rat... ekek....

Oh my, oh my... recently seemed like e season of love..

but seemed like not every 'story' ends up happily ever after... already since school reopened... i've already heard of 3 sad endings...

"sori dear" c",)> It's nv a smooth road 2 success...

rite now, work hard n study well... when u complete ur studies, u'll b e one choosin e guys instead of them pickin u up. :> i noe u'll b happi den.... u'll find e guy of ur dreams... n he'll b e one u least expected...

But to sign wif the new contract, I've got to officially end my current contract on 28th July 2004 and resign the new one beginning 1st August 2004. If you noe ur dates well.... tat would mean 2 days of freedom for me... !! y? coz there's still 29th n 30th of july which is the last thurs n fri of the month too.... kinda like haf a long long weekend n a well deserved break for me... ekek

Secret of the CurTain....TouChinG...

2004-07-14T12:05:00.000+08:00

Juz heard Tis oVeR e radio in e mornin... thought i shld share it... :)

It was written by a girl named: Ah Xiang.

I haf a good fren called Ah Wei... We haf known each other since back in primary school. He has always been there for me. Often asking if I haf eaten, if not he'll buy sumthing 4 me. If my basketball competition is nearin, he would company me, help train my skills, etc etc.... These things tat he's doing often lead me to think he was trying to prove sumthing..... to be more than frens....

Then the day comes.... my birthday.... he din appear for my party...nor did he sent me any sms... I was feeling sad.... no matter wat....we r frens for so long.... cant be tat he forgot abt my birthday??!!

As I was heading home aft e party....i realised it was pouring outside n I din bring my umbrella... Juz den I saw a shadow approachin me... it was him... it was Ah Wei. He came aft all......

He walked up to me and wished me 'Happy Birthday' n said there's sumthing he's got to say.... I was all excited.... was he goin to say it... is he gonna admit tat he too haf feelings for me....!!! He den revealed a package from behind him and said... "It is for U... sumthing especially made for U. U've got to open it at home... I've put in alot of effort to make tis n I reali do mean it frm the bottom of my heart.

When I was back home... Boy was I depressed.... Wondering why couldn't he juz said he liked me... wat's wif tis present tat he juz gave me.... Does he reali juz treat me as a fren.. Have I reali made a mistake all tis while....?? Den I opened up e present, thinking maybe he has a confession inside... maybe I could get my answer thur the present.... but when I open up the present.... there was only a piece of curtain... tried tippin the box n flipping the curtain but there was nothing else... except for the white coloured curtain... "Wat was he thinking abt makin this curtain for me?? Wat was he trying to get to...???" Immediately I called him up... but he din wanted to tell me... he said it's a surprise n i'm to find it out on my own...

1 year passed... but still I couldn't figure out wat was it wif the curtain that Ah Wei gave me on my birthday... Den my senior confessed his love for me... but I was still thinkin of Ah Wei...still hoping he is the one for me.... But thinkin back....it has been 1 year n he still wouldn't tell me wat's wif the curtain.... nor did he made any move to let me noe that he too is interested in me... maybe, juz maybe... it's time to let go... for me to move on... thus.. I sms Ah Wei... askin if we r still frens n hint if it was gonna be forever... then he replied, "Yes". At e moment, I was heartbroken... but I replied, " So you wouldn't fall for you, rite? If not you'll be a tortise." He then replied, "Yah, who ever fall for the other person will be the tortise..."

Then wif tat promise, I agreed to my senior... and after 2 months, I told Ah Wei about it. Instead of congratulating me. He asks me a qn tat got me stunned - "Do you really love him?" I din noe how to answer him... but eventually I said 'Yes, I do love him'. Soon after, he too had a girlfren but broke up later... coz the girl felt tat Ah Wei wsa pitying her due to her health condition n not tat he truely loved her. Upon hearing tat, I too had doubt abt my relationship n was too often quarreling wif my boyfren.

Almost into a year of relationship, I too got out of it. First person I called to seek comfort from was Ah Wei.

(Tis was where things changed)..... He asked if I still wanted to noe abt the secret within the curtain. I told him off.... A secret tat had been kept for more than 2 years... tat I've well forgotten abt it.. But since he mentioned... "Of course, I still want to know." Then he gave me a clue, "When the light n shadow joins hand in hand, tat's when happiness could be found..."

Tis curtain which have been wif me for the past 2 years... Had nothing sewn or painted on... But now... wat does it means... wat is the meanin of "when light n shadow joins hand in hand"... Juz den, e paper I was lookin for flew onto the floor n I could see sparks of sunlight shone on it. On a second glance, I realised tat it was from the curtain....

How stupid could I get...!! Now I noe wat tat hint was abt... the sun shines upon the curtain and the shadows formed thru the tiny holes tat were created by purpose makes up words tat could be seen...!! Upon readin wat was on it...my tears fell....

"Wondering how long it's gonna take for you to see tis... Might b 6mths, 1 year or 2 years... I dunno. But I'm sure tat I'm really in love wif you. Juz like how I've put my heart and soul to craved these words into the curtain. And wish for you to think the same way too."
