I had a fantastic weekend.
Birthday flowers were sent to Esther’s work place on Friday and apparently, someone out did us with an even bigger bouquet of sunflowers. I ordered the flowers online so I did not see the real bouquet and how it really looked like. It was supposed to be a horoscope flowers so the promotion was that they would send a horoscope bear along with it. The flowers I chose were not Esther’s horoscope and the Far East call center lady told me that they would replace the bear with more flowers, but they sent the bear in the end. Would have asked Ken to call in and complain but what’s done has already been done…
Sat was kinda fun although the morning wasn't as fun as it should be. Ken and I were supposed to go KBox but I guess I was PMSing or something and when we were having breakfast at Starbucks, I got angry for nothing and started behaving strangely, according to Ken. Haha. So in the end we missed KBox and went shopping. I bought a pretty checkered dress from Topshop for Christmas and Ken bought 2 very unique shirts from Skin Couture. I really didn't expect the shirt to be his style, but he looked nice in them (:
Jermin had a BBQ birthday party celebration on sat at downtown east. Ken and I met up with Saadiah in orchard to get Jerm’s present and after that we made our way to Pasir Ris. Downtown east really changed a lot, there’s a big children’s play area with ice-skating and those pits filled with balls that kids find it interesting somehow. There’s a Cathay theater and a KBox on the upper floors, and a NTUC on the first floor. Ah! There was also an indoor Ferris wheel which was really small and considered a waste of money to me. Haha. Nisa came a little later after we had toured the new area. The whole chalet was packed with people and every BBQ pit from the entrance to the last chalet was used. So you can imagine how smoky it was inside and made it hard to breathe. Jerm’s chalet was the last block “L” and we kept walking and walking and walking.
KC and his girlfriend came about half an hour after we reached, and Jun Jie came too. I was fun meeting up with them again. Saadiah and I were talking about studying together again cos the 3 of us, saad, nis and I, are doing part time studies. And we really missed the times when we went to woodlands library to study for our final year poly exams. It was great to see Jermin again and in that group of friends, I’m the last to turn 21. hehe.
Sunday was Esther’s turn. Mark hosted a surprise birthday party for her at his place. It was funny cos when I got there, there was a note that said “Do not ring the doorbell, Just come right in”, and the atmosphere inside was so quiet that it made me feel tense. Well, Veron did not explain how the surprise was going to work and I thought that Mark was out with Esther and he was going to bring her back to his place and then “SURPRISE!”. But then after a while Ken said that it didn't feel right cos everyone was whispering when they talked to each other so I asked Veron about it. Guess what, Esther was actually upstairs in Mark’s room and she had no idea that we were all just below her. I thought it was a smart idea (: the food was great, the host was great, and the birthday girl was great.

Life is so fragile. God gave us life and he can take it away anytime he wants. Not in the evil sense of course.
One of my colleagues’ wife just passed away 2 days ago, she was only in her early 30s. A bunch of us from work went to attend the wake yesterday afternoon, it was held in JB cos this colleague of mine is a Malaysian. It was a Christian wake so the ambience was serene, although my colleague did cry at one point when he was talking about how his wife would be happy that the people at work were concerned about him.
She left behind a son for him, and his son is only 13 months old. Since Monday afternoon, when he heard the news of the death of his wife, he was calm and composed and could still delegate his work properly because of his absence in the next few days to get things done at home. I really admire his ability to meet people and put a smile on his face.
I wondered to myself that if the same thing were to happen to me, I would probably lock myself up in the room and won’t stop crying, at the same time probably ask God to let me leave this world too. Being too attached to something or someone on earth is not a good thing cos almost everything in this world is perishable. I do cling on to Ken too much that if I have a problem and he’s not there to help me I would just panic.
Some people can just live their lives for the “now”, because they never thought of death and what they would have accomplished in their lifetime. For us Christians, we can measure ourselves by God’s standards and how we have used our life meaningfully according to his plans. At least for me that’s how I feel. Some people can say that Christians are too extreme and everything in their lives is God, God and God. I don't think it is done purposely to make people perceive us as “holy”, but because we do really find fulfillment in doing something for a mighty being who loves us like a father, takes cares of us subtly, even though we cannot touch him or see him.
I am not a Christian just because my parents are. Although at some points in my life I may have leaned too much towards to the world and away from God, I truly believe because God has shown himself to me in his ways, he gave me strength and filled my heart with warmth at times when I needed him. He was always there protecting me from harm every step of my life. He gave the people around me the prompting and the wisdom to share with me their experiences that is so similar to what I was going through at that point in my life even though I did not tell anyone, and it pulls me back to God many times, and I was always so glad.
“Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.”” – this verse was printed on a banner and hung up at the wake. How many Christians out there really believe in this that they would have the passion to reach out to as many unsaved people out there? This is a challenge to all, even for me.

Hi peeps! It’s been so long…!
Back for updates! Yes, I’m still stuck in this smelly leather sofa manufacturing company in ulu tuas while ken has happily found his way out into a better job in happening CBD.
Every lunch time I would call him and he would tell me what he had for lunch. He gets to eat different things everyday while I only have a choice between the boring canteen food, which sucks more and more each day, or the other option of starving until I get home for dinner. I chose the starving option cos I needed to loose some excess weight which I have gained ever since I got together with ken. Proud to say that I have loss 5 kg already (: the gym didn't have a part to play in my weight-loss program, and I kinda gave up on going to the gym with ken, so it’s a treat for him whenever he manages to pull me off my butt to accompany him to lift some weights. I’m trying to get him to pump up more so he can carry me out of the church on our wedding day. Haha…
I’ve started ACCA night classes and I have classes on 2 weekday nights, which is still alright for me cos my bosses are kind enough to let me leave work at 430pm so I can make it for my 645pm class… yep, it takes that long to get out of tuas to get to town. I haven’t had the time to study yet and exams are in DECEMBER!! I’m planning to take a no pay leave week off in November to study. Brings me back to the days when nis, jermin, saad, nadd, KC and I would go to Woodlands Library and mug from morning to night everyday during our study week. I went to the Jurong East library last Saturday with ken and the whole place was packed by 2pm and I couldn't find a place to study, there was a soul at every corner of the library and it amazes me how hardworking the current students are. I decided not to fight with them over a study spot and I went back to ken’s place to slack and watch the VCDs we rented…instead of a day I purposely set aside to study.
Work’s been kinda busy for me cos my immediate boss passed down stuffs to me to do. They got a guy in to take over one of the two subsidiaries that I was doing the accounts for previously, so my work load split into 2 and addition work added. I’m doing full sets of accounts for one subsidiary and in comparison to my work title now, Assistant Accounts Associate, I think my job scope is way over qualified for my title, so I’m fighting for my rights, with pay increase of cos. Hehe.
If you’re wondering why I started blogging again after so long, it’s cos blogger’s website was restricted so I couldn't come online to blog and I haven’t been using my home’s internet in a long time, hence the disappearance on msn too. Heh. But, the lifted the restriction on Blogger but I’m not sure if they’ll block it again.
got to get back to work
Bye… :)

Just found out that ken has to go to Spain either late feb or early march. Life suddenly seems so "blah" when I heard about it. But looking on the brighter side, I got time for esther now :)

Running away has always been my way of solving issues that I cannot handle. This time is different, and I have to learn to grow up and face consequences of my own decisions and choices that I have made. I can only put up a front and be strong whether I have to go through it alone or not.
Valentine’s Day was lovely. I got a bouquet of pretty purple tulips from my darling, he claimed that he put in a lot of effort to get those flowers for me but he wouldn't tell me the process. I did attempt to cook the whole Vday meal on my own but he wanted to have his dinner ASAP, so he made me stand in front of the pan to watch the steak while he prepared everything else, I wasn't very happy about it cos he always complained that I never do anything for him and when I can finally get my chance to do something for him, he has to take it away from me. The dinner didn't turn out a disaster, but the steak was a little too salty cos I put too much soya sauce for seasoning. We had to throw away some of the left over food cos we over estimated our appetite.
Finally got to meet up with Esther on Friday with ken, we went to watch Mark play at ballymoons and we left for home around 1am. Surprisingly I didn't feel tired and only fell asleep at 500. Went to the gym at Bukit Gombak on sat morning with ken, had a hard time getting up at 1000 cos ken wanted to have macs breakfast, felt like my soul was literally pulled out from my body when I got out of bed. Decided to try somewhere nearer cos the past few times we went to the gym at CCK Stadium. The gym at Bukit Gombak stadium looked exactly the same as the one at CCK and we can walk back to ken’s from the gym. It’s going to be a weekly thing from now on
Celebrated Veron’s 21st yesterday at Carinhill CC. There were tons of ppl at her party. Only a few MG girls were there. Wanyi, Meiling, Weiting, Christy, Nat, Chris, Esther and I. The food was good. The few of us went to have coffee at this outdoor restaurant outside Wisma after leaving the party. Left at 2345 for home and only slept at 130. Was really tired this morning and I slept on the company bus…still feeling tired though. Ken had to look at my sian face while having his breakfast. Think I spoilt his mood for the whole day. Haha.
I’m doing this illegally again.
Toodles… :)

It’s becoming a habit to blog at work when I get bored and distracted and no longer have the mood to work although I have a pile of papers sitting on my desk.
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. My brother’s going to do something special, he’s going to ask a girl to be his. Lol. He was so adorable when he asked me over for help cos he didn't know how to ask her. Lucky him got the support from ken and I, and cos both of us are so excited for him, ken decided to sponsor him 50 bucks so he can give the girl a good Valentine’s day date to ensure success.
Anyways, as for my Valentine’s day. We kinda already celebrated it in advance at a really romantic place (it’ll be kept a secret), but I wanted to do something for him, so tonight I’ll be going grocery shopping and will be making him steak tmw. I wonder if I have enough time to cook after work before he faints out of hunger. Haha.
I’m planning a trip to Cambodia with Ken in May. Kinda excited about it cos I can finally show him around and he can get a rough idea of what my parents are doing over there.
Shall blog tmw if there’s something to blog about.

Happy Chinese New year Everyone!
Finally got the time to get down to do some major updating as requested by many who pop by my blog to find it stagnant since November 2007.
Anyways, life has been pretty much comfortable with me, myself and ken. We kinda see each other EVERYDAY! Not that it’s not good, but now it feels weird if I dun see him for one day and I’ll miss him like crazy.
CNY was really different from the past 20 years. My sis and bro went to my uncle’s house for reunion dinner while I went to ken’s. Everyone at the dinner at my uncle’s said jokingly that I am already married into his family. On the first day of CNY, I went to ken’s mom’s parent’s house in the morning before going to my mom’s eldest brother’s house, and then to ken’s dad’s parent’s house and followed by my dad’s sisters’ houses, and finally to ken’s godparent’s house. We left for home at 8pm and being out the whole day since 730am made us really tired. I guess this is what it is going to be like when we really get married.
Went to bintan over the 2nd day of CNY to the 4th day. Got burnt real badly. I have put up some pics in my facebook so you can view it if you’re free, nothing much though. The food there is really expensive cos the only place you can eat is in the hotel. We kinda had no choice but to stay at Angsana cos Bintan Lagoon was fully booked till the 10th of feb, and bintan lagoon is so much cheaper than any other resorts in Bintan.
There wasn't much activities at Angsana so we had to book a taxi which costs us 20USD for a 2 way trip to Bintan Lagoon to do all the fun stuffs. We did archer-ing which was SGD14 bucks for 20 arrows per person and Dune Buggy which was SGD50 for 1 hour per person. 20 arrows seems to be very little at first, but my arms were way too tired to shoot after the 15th arrow and my arm was super wobbly. I had to give my last 5 arrows away cos I couldn't continue. I didn't get a bullseye, but I had one really close to the inner cicle and I’m proud of it. The Dune buggy seemed like a mistake at first cos I keep ramming into trees and into ditches. The buggy guide had to get off a few times to pull or push me out of whatever I was stuck in. the poor guy asked for a rest half way the journey.
Tanning was a mistake. But the worst part was that we actually fell asleep under the sun for almost 1 hour and didn't even feel the heat. Half my body is burnt and in pain. I cant even take off my top without wincing. I also have 3 different tan lines. One was the super dark tan I got on half of my body from falling asleep, the other was from wearing a sleeveless top to do the dune buggy and the other is my bikini tan line. Ken says I look better with fair skin and I totally agree with him. Cant wait for this ugly tan to fade.
More updating in the future. Toodles for now…

hello everyone! it's been a while.
firstly, i wanna appologise to jermin chia for missing the big day (i'm too paiseh to sms you now), but... happy BIG 20 my dear boy, hope you had a wonderful birthday.
lots have happened to me the past 2 month, and i havent really had much time to go online to chat with people. mostly busy with work, more work, and work. it's a transition period in the company now for most of us cos we have this new senior finance manager that changed so many stuffs and pushed most of the datelines forward. kinda hard to keep up, but it's possible. they got a temp staff in yesterday and i was given the authority to dump some of my saikang on him while my boss dumped more on me, it's a chain reaction.
for most of you who doesnt know or even the some who already heard, this is a confirmation for yall that kenneth yeo and i are not together anymore. and yes, i am with someone else. i really didnt think that this would ever happen to me, but i guess it did, and it happened so quickly i didnt even have time to think about the right and wrong of it. confusing story and the funny part bout it is that my new guy is called Ken too, and purely just "ken"...
my parents are also back, they have been back for slightly more than a month, due to a breast cancer scare that my mom had while she was in cambodia and they came back for further testing. The first test kinda showed that it was 90% cancerous, but praise be to God that the second test showed that it's not. my mom went through minor operation to take it out anyways. my mom's been complaining bout how i havent been home much cos i OT too much, and my brother put the thought into her mind that i went out to pa tou instead of being at work. she's really worried about my relationship stuffs and i really thank God for her being here at this point of time to really guide me through and make me think over and over again if what i'm doing is the right thing. I guess that although i am only 20, i dun think like a 20. i like to know that i'm more matured than what i should be, but there are still so many things i need to learn.
DANVIN's finally back! played squash at YCK last sunday. he made me run like crazy. i kinda lost my stamina cos i havent been playing in a while. my stroke's kinda rusty too, better start training again. someone's been complaining that i grew fatter and it's hard to not put on some weight when they only relaxation i have is to snack while working. i have this tendency to get really sleepy after lunch and the only way to keep myself awake is to eat.
time to go, looking forward to my next squash game and really wanna go back to SP to re-live my fun times with my dearies, too many to mention, but the main few... nisa jermin and saadiah!!! i really miss SP life...

accounts closing time! i think it has been a few days overdue and i havent finished my closing. yvonne took leave today and i was feeling very moody, yesterday and today so i didnt have the mood to work.
recently at work i have been lunching with the sales department people. they changed the company's caterer due to hygiene purposes and we have been ordering from outside after we tasted the unedible food on monday for the very first time. although there were cases of roaches in the food on 2 occasion from the previous caterer, the food tasted 100 times better then what we have now. so on tuesday KK (the sales exec.) went around asking some people if they wanted to order from Botak Jones, the food came at 1pm instead of the arranged time at 1230 cos the rider accidently dropped a box and the food spilled out. i had a cajun chicken and it was pretty good, except for the soggy fries and the very few chilli packets they gave us so i had to use ketchup instead. on wednesday we ordered from a caterer somewhere nearby. we all had wanton mee and it didnt taste as good as i expected it to be. KK said that my expectations too high and i only have the right to complain if i can cook better than that. haha.
everytime i lunch with the sales dept people, the only people i talk to are KK and jason. the others all have common topics to talk about and they speak mostly chinese, plus the fact that i'm the only one from finance among them, so i dont really fit in, but if there's a chance to not eat canteen food i'm in. haha. thursday i was a little moody so i asked duncan to come out for a drink instead of eating lunch. we went to the usual sofa spot to chit chat when some customers came into the show room, so we had to leave cos one of the big bosses were showing them around and it wasnt polite if we sat there. so we went out to the sofas that was a waiting area for customers and sat there. KK called me cos he bought me a can of milo cos he knew i wasnt having lunch and when he saw us sitting at the "customer" sofa he brought us to another place to sit, cos appartenly, we wernt allowed to sit there. haha. so 3 of us sat outside to chit chat, and then jason came along so i asked him to join us. the only thing i look forward every day at work is lunch time.
i think people in the company must be wondering why i only hang out with the guys, but i feel that there are too much politics in the company and the ladies are all too bitchy for me to handle. i found out from KK that there were a few people who wernt happy with something i did, and it was such a minor thing but they made a big fuss out of it. i've come to learn how i shouldnt bother about what other people say about me although i am quite a selfconscious person. it is a good thing that i have KK as a friend cos he really taught me alot on how to survive in this company. he said that every company has their politics, but in our company, there's more politics than usual cos most of the staff have worked there for a very long time and the only entertainment they get is to gossip, make enemies and allies. if a person just slips and fall, he or she can become the topic for the day, or even drag on for 2 days... these people are just so sad.
my apetite hasnt been so good yesterday and today. i didnt eat lunch and dinner yesterday. no lunch but i had a can of soya bean drink, no dinner cos i didnt feel like eating although i could have gone out to buy my dinner, i ended up sleeping earlier too. didnt have much breakfast today but only a bit of the eggs from the macs big breakfast that KK bought me, and he threw away the rest even when i said i would eat it later on. had only about 5 nacho chips for lunch and a few strands of noodles from the beef noodles i had for dinner. i think i wated alot of food today. i feel guilty, but some people cannot stand to see me not eat so they must buy something and make themselves feel better when i put something into my mouth, even though they can expect that i would throw away more than 90% of it.
not eating well has made me tired and weaker... time for my beauty sleep.

YAYY! i finally changed my blogger skin. it's not really what i'm looking for, i still like the old skin, but this is the best out of all that was available on blogskin.com
i'm on a 2 day MC cos i scratched my cornea while removing my contacts last night. have to OT when i go back to work on wed or i wont be able to complete my work and meet the deadline.
Went to squash with huiwen xueli weixian wenxu and jian hui last wed. it has been a long time since i last squashed and i was getting addicted to it. haha. the dinner was great. we went to a place somewhere in jurong west and had zhicha. yumms. each person only had to pay 7 bucks for the good food.
i'll be away on the 19th to 23rd of sept cos my bro and i are going to cambodia to visit our parents. my boss was a little reluctant to let my take off but i guess she made it clear that i would have to finish all the stuffs for the month end closing even i have to OT for the whole month.
i'll have to go figure out what i will do tmw on my MC leave.

Die Hard 4 was great! went to meet marcus at jurong point after work and we caught the 7pm show. it lasted about 2 and a half hours, pretty long, but makes our money worth. haha. i'm begining to enjoy my work again. although i may have so many things to do, i really find fulfillment in working and doing what i do. but the max i'll stay in that company would be 2 years, it would get boring after a while. i'm surprised i actually made used of what i learnt in ITFD at work. haha. all the different shipping terms, BOL, TT....
tmw's class gathering. going to see all my classmates again, bet they still look the same. haha. shirley and melody would be going over to auz to study cos they enrolled into UNSW singapore which closed down, so now they're being shipped over. the gathering tmw is mainly a farewell for them and also an "enlistment" party for all the guys who would be going into army sometime this year. ailian said that we should only meet up when they've shaved all their hair, but i think they wouldnt wanna come out to be laughed at by us. haha.
work this saturday!! i really dun feel like going, but i have to. so tiring. i havent been doing much house work and the house looked so messy when i came home at 2200, so i went to sweep the floor and folded the clothes that sam dumpped onto the chair at the dining table. i dun understand why she cant fold the clothes when she take them off the bamboo sticks, but i'm just glad she washed the clothes that were piling up...
i have a few really lucky colleagues who have such a sweet boyfriend and husband and fiancé. the girl with the boyfriend has a table with about 5 dried bouquet of flowers that her boyfriend gave her even when there's no special occasion. the one with the husband sent her a really beautiful bouquet of yellow and white roses to the office cos it is her birthday today. the one with the fiancé came to self deliver expensive muachi from Japan to the office cos he just came back from USA and he had a stop over at Japan... sighs...i guess that how lucky women with boyfriends or husbands who earns money are... i also want. haha. i'm also so jealous of my 2 colleagues who are pregnant. i want a baby too... the one who has a girl wanted a boy and the one who has a boy wanted a girl. haha. they were joking about switching babies cos they were both 5 months pregnant....and they are so young! below 30 married and pregnant! when will it be my turn? lol
i'm going to sleep and dream of my future hunny. haha.

went to watch transformers with ken and his bro last night. i thought that it was a really good movie, so far the best i've watch this year, and i dun mind watching it again! haha.
had to OT today because yvonne had something on last minute and she had to go off, so i had to help her finish up some stuff. time passed really quickly today cos i was so busy. finally sitting at my OWN desk! felt so good. haha. i miss my darling table...
today i got alot of farewell emails from the people who were leaving the company and welcome emails for the people who just joined the company today. there was a welcome email for me cos from today onwards i'm considered a perm staff there. haha. i really dunno how long i'll be working there, but i think if the working hours remains as it is then i'll definately stop working after one year...too tiring.
nobody's home yet, i wonder where my brother went. anyways, i finally came home after 2 nights of being out and i was kinda worried that kenny didnt have enought food or water, but he looked alright, must remember to buy cucumber tmw if not kenny will be dehydrated.
back to work tmw! think i better go sleep early... only had 5 hours of sleep last night, and the people at work are starting to call me "sleeping beauty" cos i sleep alot at work. haha.

woke up at 7am and felt so tried, so i didnt wanna go for the community service thing. think i'm really falling sick, i coughed non stop the whole morning when i woke up, it's better now though. my aunty brought a new cleaner to my place to clean up the house. it has been about a month since anyone mopped the floor, i've only been vaccuming it once a week so far. the house feels and definately looks much cleaner now. i wanted her to help me clean up the stove area cos it's very greasy, but she took so long to clean the dusty surfaces in the living room so i decided to do it myself while she used the remaining hour to vaccum and mop the floor. my fingers crampped cos i had to use so much strength to scrape up all the oil from long long ago. my bro and sister loved to fry eggs and they dun bother cleaning up the stove after cooking, so all the oil is like stuck to every surface near the stove, even the rice cooker...took me about an hour plus to finish cleaning everything till it is almost sparkly! yay to me... it'll be another 2 weeks before the cleaner comes again...
ate some pears and finally had the time to trim my nails. when i was scrubbing the stove i thought my nails were going to fall off cos they were so long and i had to use them to push the sponge...my fingers still hurts a little now. there's nothing nice on tv and i'm so bored! BORED!!! ken has some NDP thingy so i cant ask him out, and i have until 9pm tonight till i go meet the squashers. wonder what i'm going to do from now till then, probably hang the clothes that i've dumped in the washing machine and then stare at the computer again....
am going to work tmw. i know! it's SUNDAY!!! but i'm forced to, i dun have a choice. we have this project going on now and we have to quickly upload files into the SAP system. it'll be going on for about 2 months. so for 2 months, i have to sacrfice one weekend every week to go back to work to upload files... this time i happened to be on a sunday cos some of us wont be free on saturday, which is today. we'll be working the normal hours, from 830 to 6. taxi fare claimable. but still!!! christine booked the company car for tmw's lunch outing. not sure if we'll be going out or sending someone to buy back for all of us. and then i'll be rushing down to angmokio to meet ken and his bro to catch the 7pm TRANSFORMERS show! sam said that one of her friends told her that the show wasnt good. maybe he expected much more from a childhood cartoon made into a new age movie. haha.
clothes done washing, shall go hang them up now.

went for squash after work. reached at 7 and left at 730. haha. i only played a game with nic before he had to rush off, and it was the lousiest game ever. i couldnt even hit the ball properly! so i went home since i was also too tired to play with anyone else.
took me one and a half hours to get home cos i had to buy dinner and i had to take a bus back home cos it was raining. i signed up for some community service that is organised by my company. we'll be cleaning up the kallang river area. actually it was simyun who asked me, so i just said yes. for the fun of it. it's from 845 to 1230...i know i'm going to be so tired after that. and then it'll be supper with the squasher in town at swensens, farewell for nic. he's flying to melby on sunday night.
i've been sleeping really early the past few nights but i still get so tired at work and doze off if i do some mundane job on the computer. even my boss boss knows i get tired...haha. i used boss boss cos she's in a higher position than yvonne and yvonne is my boss. haha.

i've been introduced to the finance department as a new staff. lol. i like working there but i know some of the people there arnt really nice and a little bitchy and very clique-y. it's all for the working experience and i'm leaving the company in a year's time anyways. we had a monthly finance department meeting today and jane told us that we'll be having a team building outing, bbq at our CFO's house, Christmas lunch and Chines New Year lunch for building team spirit and create bonding. haha. more free lunches! we had another farewell lunch for one of the finance staff at Hill Top...some restaurant at the top of BirdPark. the food there wasnt that fantastic, but it's free...lol. i'm so cheapo....
one of my collegue has some pregnancy problems so she has been on MC ever since last week and she'll be on MC for the rest of this week. think she needs to rest more, these kinda problems cannot be taken lightly. i'm taking over her duties for the time being but the problem is that yvonne and i dunno how to do most of her job, so we got to disturb angeline and jacq. the new staff who came about a month ago is quitting and her last day is this friday, so i'm taking over again. haha. hope i havent forgotten how to do some of the stuffs...if not i've got to keep disturbing yvonne again.
my kenny is still alive, but he has spasms when he sleep. so cute. just like HIM, the guy my kenny is named after. haha. i bought the water bottle for kenny to drink from but he hasnt touched it yet, maybe he's scared of it. i spent so much money on my hamsters....but i LOVE my KENNY :)
okay. i need to sleep soon if not people will start calling me panda...

went to JB to celebrate sadd's birthday and we had buffet at some hotel. nis jermin kc and sadd's dad uncle aunty and cuz were there, and 2 of sadd's friends joined us later on. i havent bought sadd a present yet, but i will soon! when i get my pay. haha. we had a fun time catching up and i didnt eat much, but i enjoyed my self-made icekachang, although the ice were a little larger then the normal icekachang. my feet were hurting cos i wore my new shoes and i didnt bite it before i wore it. haha. apparently, if you bite your new pair of shoes it wouldnt cut you. too late to bite it now. we walked to the imigration with fear after the newspaper reports on robbery and rape cases, but i knew God was with me so he would protect me, luckily we had 2 gentlemen with us. haha. jermin offered to help me keep my passport in his pocket and made me not walk so near the roadside. :)
got home and showered. had a good rest but i've been sitting infront of the comp uploading pictures into friendster. i wanted to upload alot more, but people would get bored after seeing the same people in so many pictures. haha. i might start uploading pictures in my blog from now onwards. i'm looking for more squashers to go on the cameron highland trip with us. i wouldnt mind genting, but cameron would be a more relaxing kinda holiday destination.
going to watch oceans13 with ken tmw :)

forced myself to wake up at 10am this morning cos i thought i would need all the time in the world to get ready. turned out, i was done by 1200 and i only needed to leave my house at 1300 to reach bedok at 1400 to meet up with shaomin. gladys called in the morning to tell me she wasnt going cos she was to tired from squashing in the morning. haha. i vaccumed the house, went to update my bankbook, bought breakfast for my brother, and left my house at 1300 sharp.
met up with shaomin and yongqi and took a bus down to parkway parade, walked from where we alighted all the way to east coast macs!!! i was feeling so tired even before the real excerise began. i didnt go down to amk to borrow the blades from ken's sister afterall, but when i saw the rental shop i really wanted to blade. yimin peishan thomas seejun were blading, nic had his own bike, so it was left with shaomin yongqi huiwen and me to decide what we wanted to do. since i wanted to blade but didnt want to rent, i decided to do the exchange with seejun like when she was too tired to blade i would take over and she would cycle on the double bike with shaomin, cos she doesnt know how to cycle. so the first half of the time i was behind shaomin and i could put my legs up to rest whenever i liked. haha. but there was one time when i cycled and he rested. lol. i tried to carry him but he was way too heavy and i couldnt control the bike too well. i took over seejun at the bedok jetty and i had so much fun blading. haha. we took so many crazy pictures, the 4 bladers in a row with the first person clinging on to one of the bikes as the biker pulled us. shaomin had to pull all 4 of us upslope once and the poor guy was so tired after that.
i didnt wanna blade slowly so i went ahead while the other 3 bladed slowly behind. along the way i felt really really tired a few times but continued to push on, but luckily there was shaomin and yongqi who would miraculously appear from behind and i would make them pull me. i almost got into an accident again cos this little girl who was on her skate scooter suddenly just tried to cut across without even looking before she turned and i was so scared i would crash into her. i used the word "again" because there was once i was blading with ken and this tiny boy turned on his tiny bike and i tumbled over him, i was the one that cried while he was stoned from the shock. haha. anyways, i didnt get my "woohoo!" legs after all that blading i did today, but they sure are aching real badly and i couldnt walk properly once i took the blades off, and we had to walk all the way from the rental shop to the hawker centre while was a million miles away. yongqi was riding nic's bike and he tired to carry me. i sat a while and my butt started to hurt, so i got off and strolled with the to peishan's car to get our wallets and phones. from there i took nic's bike and cycled for a while cos i didnt wanna walk.
finally reached the hawker centre and it took us such a long time to find a seat. we actually had a table and shaomin and i were sitting there while the rest went to hunt for bigger tables so everyone could sit together, but there was some miscommunication and shaomin thought nic was calling us to go over cos they found a bigger table, so we gave our seat to others waiting around. so we spent another 20 minutes looking for a table. the dinner was great! huiwen's SP classmate's parents owned the bbq seafood shop there and we could get really good discounts. so we ate like there is no tmw. haha. we were done by 2145 and while walking back to the car we stopped along the way to watch the cable-boarding. so cool. it's something like wakeboarding though, just that for cable-borading, if you fall, you'll have to swim to shore and walk back to the starting point. for wakeboarding, the boat will just pull you from where you fall, so it's probably less tiring.
took so many crazy pictures again and yongqi was complaining. i guess only girls enjoy taking picture...the guys kept saying "whatever la! just hurry up." haha. peihan drove off with thomas and yimin, nic biked home, the rest of us wanted to cab home. we couldnt get a cab along the macs road so we walked out to the main road along the HDBs. we passed by a ntuc trolley with the $1 still inside, and i made shaomin push me while i sit inside. i'm such a lazy girl. haha. he got tired after a while and yongqi took over, i think all the people that passed by us thought i was some injured person that they dumped into a shopping cart to push cos there wasnt a wheelchair available. haha. a cab came and huiwen and i hopped on. we chatted all the way about me going over to aussie to visit them next year, and i would go visit sanne at the same time! got home at around 2330 and went straight to shower. felt so good.
planning my holiday in july with marcus. we'll be going to cameron highlands...he showed me some of the pictures on the internet and i wanna go there now! i really dun mind going there now...it's going to be a relaxing holiday for me over the weekend. yays! :)

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. 2 The tongue of the wise commands knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly. 3 The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. 4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the sipirt.
Instead of hurling angry words
That wound and stir up strife,
Use words of kindness, filled with love,
That heal and nourish life.

i have alot to learn from last night's quiet time. although i seem very gentle in front of my friends, last time when i'm with ken or with my family i'll just speak my mind when i'm angry. sometimes i wanna take back some things that i've said, but it's very difficult and almost impossible because it has already hurt that person.
i overslept and woke up at 659am. haha. would have missed my bus even if i rushed to get ready so i just continued to sleep and thought i did take the whole day off. when i woke up i realised that my squash stuffs were left in the office and i would have to trouble duncan to get it for me and i would then have to meet him at lakeside mrt if i were to go for squash. i became bored at home cos there was nothing to do, so i took a cab to work. haha. half of the finance department was on leave or MC today. BeeLing is on 3 days leave because she has some complications with her pregnancy, jacq is still sick from yesterday, yvonne took leave, ailian is still at camp, sam took leave again, and jane (the assistant finance manager) took half the day off cos she wasnt feeling well after lunch.
finished my work at 1730 and i went to slack, washed my bottle, fill it up and visited the toilet. at 6pm sharp i left the office. was the second person on the bus, the receptionist was the first. haha. duncan came up the bus and he sat behind me, cos he was afraid that i would be affected by people gossiping about us. he said that the people in his department are still joking about him and me. haha. i told him i wasnt bothered, they'll find it boring and stop talking about it one day. haha. duncan alighted at the lakeside mrt stop, and this designer who was sitting in front of me turned around, as she was letting the person who was sitting beside her get out of the seat to alight, and saw my squash racket. so we started chatting cos she was also a squash player in JC and uni. i've been working there for 2 months and she has not seen me before. haha. but she was really nice and talkative. she's in the beeling and jacq clique and all of them in the clique are young wives [between 25 and 30] except for one girl. haha. i also wanna get married early.
got to the courts at 7pm and yq shaomin nic huiwen and most the juniors were there already. played a game with shaomin, but wasnt a very serious game, cos he kept doing those funny shots to try out for fun. haha. was watching the juniors do their PT, and i do pity them, but i had my fair share of PTs. haha. the inter poly games are held 2 weeks from now and all of them and training hard for the competition. josh and marc came around the same time and they were playing a game together while i sat with joseph shaomin and nic talking nonsense. i miss talking to joseph, he's like the xiaodidi of squash. haha. densie came to take something from josh, but i didnt get to talk to her, only said hi, cos marc was talking to her...cannot disturb. haha. wanted to play a game with marc when he and josh came out, but i asked seejun instead. seejun's service is very very very nice! haha. if i could do back wall shots then maybe i would be able to return the shots. when seejun and i were done, marc and denise disappered, so i played 2 sets with josh. it was the game of the day, he made my face red and wanted to make it redder. haha. but our scores were quite close, i knew he didnt play his best cos i'm a girl...but i did kill some shots and when i came out of the court the people watching said i had scary drops. haha. only for today, normally i'll just hit below the line, i think i stole seejun's drop skills today cos she couldnt do any drops. haha.
went for dinner at clementi with marc josh nic shaomin seejun huiwen and i didnt know what to eat! we go there so often and there's not much variety of food to choose from. we have to find a new place to have our dinners after squash or i'll just skip dinner all together. got home at about 11 plus and it's already 115am. dunno how i'm going to wake up early to go ECP. meet gladys at 1pm at bb mrt and then meeting shaomin at bedok mrt at 2. should i blade or bike? if i blade then i would have to go all the way to amk to get it from ken's sister but then i wouldnt have to pay for rental. if i bike then i would have to pay for rental, but the upside is that i getting a better work out and it'll shape my body to become "woohoo!" - according to huiwen. haha.
i'll sleep over it and decided. marc is making me feel bad for taking such a long time to blog. haha.

had a great day at work. sam took leave and had lots of things to do cos i had to do her job, and i was mostly stuck in the store room searching for documents. i wasnt really bummed about having to be in that stuffy store room, it was more of unwilling to get any more bruises from climbing up and down the ladder and getting knocks on my arm while trying to prevent myself from falling off. i didnt have lunch today cos i wasnt in the mood for the usual food. i found out that there were roaches in the food once, but no one got food poisoning, not yet... so i treated duncan to 2 bottles of yakult. he asked for a treat so i asked him which flavour he wanted and he said anything, good thing the machine only had grape and apple left, if not i would have bought all 4 flavours for him. haha. i got myself the usual ICE COOL BLACKCURRENT :)
duncan and i went to the show room where all the comfy sofas were and he chose a white one to sit on. we sat there from 1215 to 1300 chit chatting and alot of people walked past us. when i got back to the finance dept the girls asked me where i went and i told them i was sitting on one of the comfy sofas in the show room talking with duncan and they started making fun of me. haha. yvonne happened to walk in when we were all laughing and she wanted to know what it was, so simyun repeated the story for her...and yvonne was so nice lor! she was protecting me saying "aiya, why you all say like that??" haha. i took the bus that goes to lakeside cos i was meeting nic to watch fantastic 4 at jurong point, and duncan takes that bus home too so i sat with him. and only then i found out that when he got back to his own office the people there were like kidding with him and asking who i was, apparently not everyone has seen me yet. i'm such a low profile person, but probably not after this chit chatting incident with duncan. haha.
took the train down from lakeside to boonlay to go meet nic. he got there pretty early and went to buy tickets first. he bought the 7pm show and i arrived at 630, so we went to old chang kee to buy some finger food. i got myself nachos and we went in a little too early, but we watched all the movie advertisments. i really am going to watch transformers! who wants to watch with me?? i think it's so cute, this was actually the first time i watched the advert on transformers. fanastic 4 wasnt so fantastic after all. the only nice part is the wedding, ever since dunno when i've been dreaming of my wedding to be something like that, white with flowers with green grass patches....sadly you cant have a wedding like that in Singapore. i almost cried at the scene where jessica alba died, but i stopped feeling sad cos i knew in this show, superheros dont die. they will some how find a way to resurrect. haha. the show ended at 845pm, and nic and i went to have dinner at the food court. food are getting so much more expensive here in Singapore. stupid GST increment.
oh yes, i've confirmed with jane about becoming a perm staff. guess i'll stay there for another year. i'll definately go study next year, a degree is very important, i'll try to apply for the unis again next year and if i still cant get in then it'll be SIM.
just got home and i'm going to sleep. yvonne ailian and sam are on leave tmw, jacq might not come to work cos she vomited before lunch and took half day off to see the doctor. hope i can find things to do if not i'll try to finish everything before lunch and take half day too. lol.

was so tired at work although i slept at 10pm last night. forgot all about the 12 midnight birthday sms that i wanted to send to ken. got to work and time passed a little slower then monday, but was still loaded with work. called hunny bunny during lunch cos i had nothing to do and i wasnt tired so couldnt sleep. i think i disturbed him while he was in the middle of war craft and he kinda got angry a bit cos he started losing, and he started scolding vulgarities. haha. in case u are wondering why i'm calling ken hunny bunny....i have no idea, i just want to cos it's cute...i hung up at around 1325 and closed my eyes, fell asleep and woke up at 1345pm. haha. after lunch, i hid in the toilet a few times to just sit on the toilet bowl to rest cos i was feeling tired. i shouldnt have taken that lunch nap....
was planning to go for squash after work, but then sam mentioned something about URS having really nice shoes that were on sale, and i wont be free till next week to shop, so we made an impromptu decision to go shopping. hunny bunny rob and bryan were going to town to celebrate hunny bunny's birthday so i thought i could go down to pass rob his present. sam and i took the company bus back home, bought dinner for my bro and grabbed rob's present and headed to town. i bought hunny bunny a brownie with nuts, didnt know if he eats nuts, but IT'S BROWNIE...heck the nuts! haha. got some for ourselves too, going to have it for desert after lunch tmw :)
met up with the guys and chatted with them for a while, they went to KFC and sam and i went to buy our shoes and had pasta mania for dinner *yumms* took a cab home and now i'm shagged.....need some shut eye if not i'll have more toilet breaks tmw. haha.

didnt manage to wake up in time for church. all 3 of us woke up late and ended up skipping church for today. i went out to do some grocery shopping for the salad ken's mom asked me to make for ken's surprise party. i went to withdraw more then 300 bucks for the whole party and for my home petty cash, and on my way home i was feeling so insecure cos i was afraid that someone would have seen me draw so much money and snatch my wallet away.
got home, changed and took a cab down to ken's place at 3pm. i was the distraction for the surprise party. my role was to ask him out so he wouldnt stay home or get to the party venue too early. ken left his house at 315pm and went to visit his grandpa, who was admitted into the hospital recently because of some heart problem, before meeting me. so while he was out i used the chance to go to his place without him knowing that i went as i had to leave the groceries i bought at his house for his mom to bring it over to his uncle's condo for me. samantha mark edwyna yihao zhenzhen jefferson hazel evon chiewping peiyi grace went early to help decorate the place. actually, only sam mark and edwyna were the early ones who got there at 5pm and they blew all 100 ballons to decorate the bbq pit! 100!!! haha. yihao's job was to pick the other people mentioned above from the mrt and bring them to the condo, but because he missed the stop and stopped 2 stops away, they had to walk all the way back and only made it to the condo at 6pm.
i hanged at ken's place and chit chat with his mom while she prepared the food. i wanted to help but she didnt need any, so i stood around feeling guilty while she rushed to prepare everything before ken's uncle came to pick her up. i left the house at 4pm to go meet ken at amk hub for some window shopping. my excuse for meeting him was that since i was going to be busy the next whole week, i had to meet him to pass him his birthday present. we went to lunch at the amk S11 and i had my fishball noodles! yumms... wanted to eat soyabean icecream after lunch but was too stuffed. walked around amk but i didnt make it all the way up to the top floor. left amk at 610pm, and ken was suppose to take the bus to woodland but he wanted to walk me to the mrt station, on the way he changed his mind to take the train to woodlands instead and i had to pretend i was going to the airport so i took the opposite train and alighted at bishan and cabbed to woodlands. got there at 625pm, and everyone except ken's sec school friends were there already. went up to ken's uncle's place and wanted to surprise ken with the cake and everything when he walks through the door. i was untying the box of the cake and suddenly ken walks in! and everyone was unprepared for him!! in the end he was the one that surprised us instead of us surprising him. haha. we went down to the bbq pit and his sec sch friends were already there waiting. i can say that the party went well and i was so grateful to God that it didnt rain. i was praying so hard that he would give us good weather because it has been raining the past few nights and throughout the day, and it would have been terrible if it rained during the bbq. my God is the greatest!! haha.
i had to rush off at 8pm after cutting the cake to go to the airport to send dan off. ken sent me to a road at the back but there was not a single available cab in sight. it was 810 and i started to panic because i couldnt get a cab. ken suggested that i go to the other road and while walking out a empty cab passed by and ken flagged it down in time. i told the taxi uncle that i was in a hurry and he drove at average 100km/hr cos it was highway all the way to the airport. i got there at 845 and quickly took a picture with dan and we had a few group pictures too. dan had to rush in cos his parents were rushing him, but he had to wait for me to come. i feel so bad. haha. but glad that i could send him off. miss him already. haha. soon it'll be nic leaving....
took the train home and got myself a chicken burger from macs cos i didnt have anything to eat at ken's party and i was starving. came home and called my daddy and mommy! HAPPY DADDY'S DAY!! and we just found out that we could call them over at cambodia for free...!!! and they have free incoming over there so it's also free!!! haha. going to call them for nothing more often now. haha. i love my daddy and mommy. miss them so much. cant wait for september to come till i'll fly over to see them!!!
i've got to go get some shut eye now. pimples are popping all over the place from lack of sleep and water. will fall sick soon or later if i keep this up. haha. i'm the happiest girl... sweet dreams everyone!
tooooddlesss!
PS: i wanna thank all who came. specially wanna thank ken's mom for helping cook all the food for the party, which was the most important part of the party, sam mark and edwyna for blowing so many balloons, and the other people for coming and making this happen although it is Father's Day and you all probably would have had to sacrifice spending time with your dads today. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

although i slept so late last night, i had to, and surprisingly managed to, get up at 8 this morning and leave the house by 9 to help out at the children's party at cashew heights. most of the kids that came today also came for the previous watermelon party and luke was there! the ever-so-cute luke!! haha. he's like a little gummy drop from heaven...anyways,he was running around and making alot of noise with his elder brother so i went and put scooped him off the ground and he didnt make a sound. so adorable. he's about 2 but he speaks quite well for his age. i asked him "where's your daddy?" and he pointed to his left and said "over there". for that very second i felt like i could love him forever. i want my own baby that can say "over there" too!!! haha. i brought him over to where lydia was standing so we could shower him with tons of attention again. fed him sausages and he loved it. when we asked him "is it nice?" or "do you like it?" he replies with his "yesh". just "yesh", but it's enough to blow me away with how much understanding of the languge he has at such a young age. or are kids suppose to be already yakking away at 2??
the party ended on a happy note and uncle joseph gave me a lift down to clementi so i could go to lavender to meet yihao to get the party decorations for ken's surprise party. i was 20 mins late but he was so kind to wait for me. gentleman? yesh. haha. it was pouring and we had to walk all the way to The Concourse cos there were no buses from the mrt that goes there. poor yihao was half drenched cos he wanted to shelter me more. the shopping centre was pretty empty and i really wonder how the shop owners are able to survive when not many people go to shop there. but the party stuffs were considered quite reasonable to me, i dun really know the market price for the stuffs in the first place. got all i needed and we went to the market to eat tangyuan. apparently, the tangyuan shop there is quite famous. yihao treated me to a bowl of 6 tangyuans, 3 peanut and 3 yam. i couldnt finish andi felt so bad for dumping 2 to him, but in the end he dumped 1 back in my bowl and we just left it. and now i know, 6 tangyuans is really too much for me. yihao had some confinement thingy so he had to leave at 4. i thought i would meet gladys weixian nic and seejun for dinner but in the end no one planned anything yet. as i was feeling really worn out, i took a cab home to sleep. woke up at 8pm and went to get changed to go meet gladys at bukit batok mrt. we were gong to double O for dans farewell and he invited his army friends along too. took a train down to douby ghaut and met up with weixian nic and shaomin. it started to rain again and there was only one umbrella, and we had to walk to a bus stop quite a distance without much shelter, so the 3 girls shared the brolly and the 2 guys had to run in the rain. it was kinda terrible because we were stranded at some building with the bus stop less then 10 meters away, but the rain was way too heavy and after standing there i suggested we take a cab. so we walked to the back of the building to try find a taxi stand but there wasnt any in sight. so the next plan was to have one of the guys wait along the roadside and wave a taxi down and go to the back of the building to pick us from a sheltered area, but in the end there wasnt any available taxi. so i suggested, again, that we just take the bus and one by one go across from the building to the bus stop with one person running back and forth to pick everyone. got onto the bus and alighted at the next stop (-_-")
since it was still raining and we only had one umbrella, nic went to find out where double O was. he took a very long time before he came back and couldnt find the place. so dan had to send one of his friends to come pick us up. by the time we got there it was already 1130. everyone was already partying without us, each of dan's army friends bought him a shot and he was made to dirnk up every shot. so when we got there he was already drunk and he came out to greet us with a red face. paid 15 bucks to get in, leaving me with only 5 bucks in my wallet. i forgot to withdraw money cos i was rushing to meet gladys, and there wasnt any atm nearby. so i owe alot of ppl money after today. nic bumped into a few of his pilot friends and i thought they were really good looking at first. i mean, they ARE good looking, with hot bods and stuff, but they are smokers, and the thing that turns me off is a guy who smokes. haha. i wouldnt mind having guy friends who smoke, but my boyfriend should NOT and NEVER smoke, i wouldnt even have started a relationship with a guy who smokes in the first place.
had a bit to drink and alot of photos taken before dan dragged us to the dance floor. i didnt wasnt to dance and so did some others, so we ended up going to the dance floor and running away from danvin cos he trying to push us up the platform where the whole double O could see us and we just wanted to stay below. after awkwardly standing there, i went to get myself more drinks cos i knew that i would openly embrass myself if i knew i was doing it. haha. nic paid for 2 lychee martinis and in the end i drank only a little and not enough to make me high. went back to the dance floor and i moved sightly a little more with the help of the others pulling and holding my arms and waving it around. haha. i went to the bar where it was so much quieter and slacked with nic for a while. ordered frozen margarita, and it was 1 for 1. the rest came after a while and we had a long session of taking pictures and playing the guessing game. the girls wanted to go back to the dance floor to sweat out all the alcohol but i didnt go with them, leaving peishan thomas nic and me at the table, and we decided to go play pool. the pool there is a rip off! $13 an hour!! but we still played anyways, and i couldnt aim straight. i was really too tired and not in the mood for pool. partnered with nic and in the end we lost 2 games out of 3. haha. after finishing one hour we were dragged back to the dance floor by dan and this time it was more taking pictures then dancing. i think the other people were shocked by the number of ppl we had with us when dan gathered us to take a group picture. there were only 6 girls and about 20 guys. we were talking about how guys in the pub wouldnt dare touch us girls cos we had so many guy friends around us to protect us if anything happened, actually we were mostly surrounded by dan's friends so no stranger could even get close. we left the club at 330am and went to a nearby bakkuteh store for supper.
shared a cab back with huiwen weixian and gladys. and i it's already 6.26am...yawnnssss....church tomorrow, urrrhhh...i mean today...

time passed so fast at work yesterday and before i knew it, lunch time arrived, and then 6pm came. this is the very reason why i enjoy being busy, time flys. took the bus down to the market at the back of my house and dapao a packet of hokien mee for dan. finally he gets to try it!! haha. marc and josh were waiting for me at macs cos we were going to meet the other squashers in holland village. marc left his bag in school so our first stop was SP. i was suppose to guide him there but half way through i had to make a phone call and when i got off the line, we were lost. went one very very big round just to get to SP and we still had to whip out the road map to find our way there. he picked me up at 640 and we reached SP at 720. josh said that every ride in marc's car is an adventure. haha. we also made one big round on our way to holland village from SP. that was my fault because i made him turn at the wrong turn. dan shaomin nic weisian xueli huiwen gladys were already seated at NYDC by the time we got there. dan immediately took out the hokien mee and we used the menus to try cover as much as we could, but in the end gained the suspicions from the cheif waiter and he came over to ask us to keep it, he was very mean about it. i ordered myself a mushroom and ham oven-baked pasta. yumms :)
yimin came a little later and yongqi came a little drunk. haha. he had to go dine with his collegues and had himself some alcohol before rushing down to holland village to meet us. after eating we went to wala wala. xueli shaomin gladys marc and josh left cos i think they had other appointments or just didnt want to drink. the place was really packed but we were lucky enough to find ourselves a table and managed to grab chairs from around. the band was really good and they were coming out with an album soon. the girls all thought that one of the lead singers and guitarist was really cute, but after looking many times....naaahhhh... i got myself a hoegarden white nic got some really nice tasting beer and the others had tequilla sunrise and orange something...haha. oh oh! i managed to tie a knot using the cheery stalk with my tongue! the stalk was pretty short and it took me quite long to knot it...but i did in the end! yay!! i took some pics but it was really tiny so the picture wasnt that clear.
we left for tim sum at some 24 hour shop after the second set. i was actually all ready to go home after the first cos i was shagged. slept only 3 hours the night before and had to wake up super early for work. but i stayed on for some reason i forgot and ended up eating only one tiny cheesecake one siewmai and a quarter of an egg tart with lots of chrisantimum tea. got home around 1 plus 2 and went striaght to bed. my body couldnt take it anymore.

i had the most wonderful day today. i never realised that i could accomplish so much by shopping alone. actually, if i were shopping for other people it's easier to shop alone, but if i were to shop for clothes for myself then i need would need the comments from others. i was suppose to meet esther to go update my passport, but then she wasnt able to get off from work so i went by myself. it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, i've always hated to go out of the house on my own, but funnily i enjoyed it more. i could do things at my own pace and go where ever i wanted. i got to the ICA at lavender and was a little lost, but thanks to the help of sign boards i found my way to the second floor and got myself a queue number. went to take my passport photo and i saw my neighbour working there. she couldnt recognise me at first when i said "hello" to her, but then when she looked closer she was like "eh! it's you!" haha. think she forgot my name, cos i forgot hers. haha. but we chatted a while and she took my picture and helped me modify it abit. did you know that they use photoshop there? and that they can make your face look flawlee with just a click. haha. amazing. but she didnt do anything modifying to my face cos i have an almost perfect complexion. haha. just kidding. i didnt really like the picture, but i couldnt be bothered to go take another one. i'm not a big fan of taking passport photos cos the emphasis would be on the face. and i dun like close up pictures of my face. haha.
i had my $1 icecream while waiting to collect my passport and it was delicious! think i'm addicted to cheap ice cream now. haha. and i'm growing fat, have been eating icecream everyday since sunday when we had icecream at yck after squashing, and one of my collegues brought natadecoco icecream from JB and we had it for 2 days cos we couldnt finish it, and today i had icecream again. i shall bann myself from icecream for 6 months! finally collected my passport after waiting for so long and i think the picture looks alright, better then the stupid IC picture i took when i was sec3. cant wait to change my IC! was smsing esther while waiting and we decided to just meet for dinner. she took a long time to reply, cos she was working, so i just made my way to suntec where she works and went shopping for ken's birthday present. took my time and walked into shops that i wanted to go to. and after buying ken's gift i went to see if kenny rogers had reopen, and it was! esther and i then decided that we would have our dinner there. it was only 545 at that time so i went to get myself bubbletea and fishballs from old chang kee cos i didnt have and lunch or breakfast and i was starving! i then passed by this pet shop when i was looking for the toilet and i stood there looking at the baby hamsters for the longest time and thinking of my hammy. i think when kenny dies, i'll go get myself another baby hammy. haha. i even bought a water bottle for kenny. cos ken said that hammy probably died cos he didnt have enough water to drink, cos i have been feeding them cucumber, and i didnt want kenny to die so fast. i'm really afraid that he'll die like tmw right after hammy.
after my toilet trip i went up to sit at the benches surrounding the fountain of wealth. i just walked and walked till ii found the perfect seat. it was the only bench that didnt look like the others, and i liked it. haha. sat there at 6pm listening to my music and just enjoying the relaxing feeling of spending time alone with myself. when i was with ken we often complain about Singapore not having nice places couples to go to and we were forever doing the same thing when we go out of the house, but today, i realised that simple things like that can be meaningful too. but i know ken isnt the type of person to sit down and relax, cos once he is relaxed, he'll fall asleep the very next second. haha. watching the artifical waterfall from the fountain was really comforting, although i did cry when i was listening to "my valentine" (a song that ken gave me) and "if i let you go" by westlife. good thing no one was around me. haha. i think i like crying. haha. sounds so sadistic right? but it's my way of expressing emotions that cannot be described merely with words. i cry when i'm happy, i cry when i'm sad, i cry when i'm angry, i cry when i wanna gain pity...haha. ever since young my mom called me "hambaobao", it means hamburger. i have no idea how a hamburger is linked to crying, but it was because as a child i cried over almost everything. haha. i was one of those kids who were easily frightened by big figurines and i have a few baby pics of me standing in front of an elf or santa statue and crying my eyes out. haha. i think the adults enjoyed seeing me being traumatised.
anyways, i was sitting at the bench and day dreaming when i suddenly realised that there was a big sculpture of a rabbit on the floor in front of me, and a plate that stated the behaviours of people born in the year of rabbit and the years of people born in the year of rabbit! haha. and surprisingly, I AM BORN IN THE YEAR OF RABBIT! not that it matter so much, but it was funny how i chose that rabbit spot by chance without even realizing it. haha. i took some pictures for fun...
it turned dark and the turned on all the pretty lights at the fountain. SO PRETTY!! there were tons of couples and tourist around, and this one guy sat infront of me showing his ass crack, what a sight. i tried to ignore as best as i could, but he was right infront of me! and there wasnt any other empty bench for me to sit at, so i had to stay where i was. at around 7 they allowed people to go into the fountain area to touch the water with their right hand and go around it 3 times, cos they believe that if they did that their wish would come true. i dun think any one believes it, they just touch the water for the fun of it. haha. they were playing "angel" a duet by celine dion and some guy, and i started dreaming about how my wedding photos would be taken at the fountain and they would play our song as we went round the fountain 3 times with our right hands held together and touching the water, and i even imagined how our poses would be like, and in one scene i imagined that he would surprise me with a pretty purple tulip and we would pose for pictures with me holding on to that precious and lovely surprise. guess who my dream husband was?? HIM of cos! haha.
esther finally ended work at 730 and we went to kenny rogers to take a look at the menu, but we were distracted half way and ended up going shopping for a white off sholder top that i wanted. we decided to go to bugis in the end, although i was really looking forward to eating the mac and cheese and juicy long beans from kenny rogers. esther felt bad that she pangseh me when she was the one who suggested we go update our passports today. i wasnt upset about it, but she needed to make it up to me. haha. without dinner, we wakled around bugis till 10 plus. i wasnt sure if she was hungry, but we bought the tapioca kuey and she bought the peanut pancake so i guess it wasnt that bad. i spent lot on shopping today. i bought 2 tops, one costing $18 and the other $27. i also bought a pair oh black skinny jeans for $28, although i thought it made my thighs look fat, esther convinced me it didnt, so i just paid for it. haha. since i've been wanting to buy it for the longest time. i walked past the perfume shop and was reminded of jethro cos he wanted cologne for a birthday present and because at that time i didnt have enough money i bought him a very nice shirt which he liked, but i thought i should get him something he really wanted. bought him the davidoff men's cologne at a reasonable price, and i just gave it to him. i hope he's happy that i actually thought of him while shopping! haha. he should be glad that he has a sister like me.
had dinner at burgurking till 11 and we wanted to cab back home cos we still had to work tmw and it was kinda late already. but the taxi queue was very long and not a taxi was in sight. so we took the train down to clementi and cabbed home. the first thing i came home was to make sure my baby was alright. the poor thing was shivering in his sleep. i feel so bad. everytime i look over from my computer he would be sleeping and it would freak me out cos i cannot tell if he's sleeping or if he's dead. i just hangged the water bottle in his cage but he hasnt gone near it yet. i dun even know if he knows how to drink from it. the cute little thing always sleeps in a ball sitting up or lies flat on his tummy. should take a picture the next time i see him sleeps like that...
work tmw! better go sleep now....

for the past couple of days we had 3 internal auditors come to audit one of the subsi in HTL. one of the auditors is this super good looking korean guy, sadly they werent auditing the subsi i do the accounts for. i couldnt keep my eyes off him everytime he walks into the room. the auditors were from ernst & young, i think it was the firm caleb was from before he joined SP. anyways, the korean guy was talking to angeline and i happened to look up from my computer at him, and he looked back at me, i immediately look down and kinda blushed. haha. yvonne and i were gossiping yesterday about how good looking he is and she told me that he's a very nice guy. last year he came to do audits for the accounts yvonne was incharge of when he just joined ernst & young, so he didnt really know the rules of conduct and he bought yvonne chocolates. there's a rule that auditors and the company's accountant cannot have any family ties or special relationships, and no exchange of gifts should be made. haha. but he only knew about the rule after that incident, so no more yummy chocolates from him this year.
i went to buy dinner for jet and myself at the shop i bought dinner from last night. the uncle remebered me and he chatted with me for a while. he said that i was so lucky to be working in an office job, can knock off work early go home shower and watch tv, while he has to work till 9 plus 10. i didnt really know what to say to him, so i just commented that he can earn more money. haha. then he replied saying that it's a very tough and tiring job. he looks like he's around 50 plus, and there was this old man, probably about 70 plus, helping him in his stall. i kinda pity these people, but for all you know, it might be something they really enjoy doing.
i'm skipping work tmw so i can go update my passport with esther. actually i'm only meeting her at 1630, but i thought i did rather just stay home and do the laundry and clean up the house a little rather then taking half day off and having to roam around orchard aimlessly while waiting for esther to get off work.
dan's leaving! so many places to go, so much things to do! haha. only after i've graduated did i feel like i'm closer to the squashers. actually it's only that few people and most of them are seniors and guys. haha. i'm going to squash my life away with them, my kids and their kids will become squashing buddies! that's a dream plan. haha.

We may not know what the future holds,
but we can trust the One who holds the future.
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
- Hebrews 13:5
my internet was down last night so i couldnt blog. but nothing much happened yesterday except that it was the earliest day i've slept since i started working, 11pm.
work as usual and i came home, to find my darling hammy lying so still in his food bowl. i knocked the cage but he didnt move. i loved him the most, compared to kenny and arial, he was much friendlier and he always allowed me to carry and stroke him. my first instinct was to call ken. call ken to get comfort, to know that someone is as upset as me about hammy's death, to know that he would come over to help me clear the cage even though i keep refusing, because he knows me too well. my eyes were swollen from all the crying i did before i accepted the fact that hammy's not ever coming back, and i forced down my dinner before ken arrived. he came a little later then i expected cos he took the wrong bus and he went to the wrong floor, he wasnt feeling well too but he still came :)
kenny is my only baby left and now he has the entire cage to roam around in so i dun have to put him in the ball to run around the house as often as before. chatted with ken a little and accompanied him to cheers so he could get cereal for tmw's breakfast. he sent me back to my door step, and i got what i wanted.
ken, dun take it the wrong way. it's a friendly thing, nothing more. i just needed it cos i dunno anyone else whom i can get one from. thankew :)
i'm sleeping early tonight again. trying to make it a habit so i wont be so tired at work everyday. i'm afraid i might pissed my boss off one day cos i keeping waking up later then i should and end up starting work later too. shall blog again tmw.

i dunno what i'm going to do right now. one by one people will start coming up to me and telling me they wont be able to make it cos that day would be some worldwide special day. such a stupid thing to have happened, i should have thought through it properly even before confirming the day. i dun even know if i should still go on with it after all i've gone through. argh. only one word to describe this feeling, "sian".
woke up at 830 and got ready to leave the house to go meet marcus at toapayoh to go to his church today. joshua was the one that brought marc to that church so now both of them are worshipping there together. was suppose to go to my own church cos i wanted to ask evelyn something, but we were meeting for squash at the yck squash courts at 12pm and if i went to my church i would be late. i seriously do not have good time management, was suppose to leave my house at 840 so i could reach toapayoh on time, but i left that house at 9 instead and ended up being 20 mins late. marcus had to drive aorund while waiting for me. i didnt know why he had to drive, waste petrol! think he got too much money to spare. haha. his church is somewhere in geylang and for some reason the whole area was burning hot, like as if the sun chose to concentrate all it's heat in that particular area. we got there and went for the bible study. marc usually goes for the early early service and then bible study at 1015, but cos i didnt wanne wake up so early i made him go for the later service, so we went for the bible study first. we left for the main service at 1130 and was almost late. the bible study and the service were at 2 different places, although still in the geylang area, cos they couldnt get a place nearer to where the mian service is held.
we left church at 1 and marcus, josh, josh's church friend and i headed down to yck for squash. by the time we got there dan yongqi yonghui joseph benjamin huiwen were there already. shaomin came later and he only played for half an hour cos he had to meet his friend, dunno why he still wanted to come down. haha. i played a game with huiwen a game with benjamin and a game with danvin. the game with danvin was the worse! he made me run like a mad woman cos he wanted to take a picture of me and my super red face after i squash. so embarassing :(
yongqi and yonghui left when their father came to pick them. shaomin left to meet his friend. joshua went for some army bbq. marcus went to meet his cousin. dan went for his family dinner. joseph went to eat curry fish head. benjamin left for somewhere. huiwen and i took the train home. got home showered and ate my dinner. and fell asleep in front of the tv cos i was so tired. wanted to continue sleeping in my room but my dad smsed me asking me to call them over in cambodia. so i had to drag myself out of the room to make a call. and i didnt feel tired after that. heh. watched the ending part of shrek and my favourite is PUSS IN BOOTS! he so adorable when he gives that crying big eyes look. haha.
i guess i'll go sleep over what i've gotten myself into. i'm still feeling ever so down. was complaining to one of my friend about how stupid i was by thinking that i could have gone through doing what i'm planning to go through all for nothing. really seriously zlich...nothing...
