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.
ghost whisperer on tv now...

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...

went shopping in town with aunty cas and sam today. i'm a little off budget cos i bought so many things within these few days. i bought a top for 22 bucks and an owl necklace from forever21 for 18 bucks. haha. i still need to set aside some money to buy ken's present and for dan's farewell.
went over to amk and marc picked me up to go to his place. his house was nice, but his room a little too small, but he didnt have much stuff so i guess the room worked for him. changed and we went to the carpark to start washing and waxing. i didnt bring a rubberband down and i was prespiring half way thru. we took a break and went to get ourselves icecream and asked the shop uncle for a rubber band so i could use it to tie my hair up. walked back up 6 stories to where the car was parked and took a short rest before starting to wax again. was a tiring job, but fun at the same time. to be able to see ur reflection after waxing it brings a sense of satisfaction. haha. went to the market near my place for dinner and came home after that.
watching some show called "gangs in new york" and i dun really understand the story but i'm watching just to past time. will blog again tmw :)

had a fun squashing session, but it could have been better. i kinda got a cramp in my left back thigh muscle and had a hard time bending whenever i had to do a back hand. played a few games with yongqi before i cramped and played with marcus after i cramped. he had to whack the ball towards me at times so i didnt have to run throughout the whole game. while playing my calf and butt experienced short cramps. haha. my thigh didnt hurt as much after a while and i could run more, so i tried to give my best to play a game with marcus so it wouldnt be a wasted trip down, it might be a long while before i would get to play with him again so i made use of today. almost won marcus, but i think it was cos he gave in to me a little. i'll be impossible for me now to win people who squashes at marcus's level. haha. IMPOSSIBLE!
went to clementi for dinner with some juniors marcus and yq. got myself bakkuteh cos it has been a while since i drank some good soup. yq had cravings for fried dumplings and he went to buy a plate of six, which ended looking like fried baby puffer fish to me. haha. it didnt even look one bit like dumplings. the other guys said that the dumpings sold there werent very good, but it was too late to return it anyways. so each one took one and i was kinda full, so marcus ate my share. after eating everyone went their seperate ways home and marcus sent yq melissa and me home.
so tired now, but i got to wait till my hair drys before hitting the sacks. nothing nice on tv now. too many lame series shows. it's a friday night!!! they should have good tv on friday nights for us people who dont sleep so early. going out with aunty cas and sam tmw. dunno what we'll be doing, but aunty cas said she wanted to spend time with us, so just go lor. actually i already made plans with marcus to help polish his wife and he would drive over to my place so it'll be more convenient, but now we changed it to me going to his place after my appointment with aunty cas. i wanna see how his place looks, since he has already seen mine. it's only fair. haha.
it's already 1am and my hair is still wet....arrghhhh! think i'll just go sleep. cant be bothered anymore.

i think i'm going crazy. i fell in love with the man in my dreams and i cant stop thinking about him. haha. i do not know anyone who looks like him, and i'm almost forgetting how he looks like now. in my dream he was this tan sweaty army guy who just came back from war and he wore a white singlet and as we were going up the escaltor at bukit batok mrt he kissed me. haha. i kinda guessed that it had something to do with war cos in my dream there were tons of sweaty army men at the mrt station hugging their women. and i really have no idea why of all places it had to be at bukit batok mrt. i think it's a sign that i'm either in desperate need of love or i'm really going crazy from being too lonely. haha.
i stayed home from work today cos i couldnt wake up or rather i didnt want to wake up. i needed a day to sleep in and wake up at whatever time i liked cos for the past few weeks i have been going out early in the morning every day even on weekends. did laundry the whole morning and i think i've become 80 without even realizing it. was squating in the toilet scrubing my white jacket and shorts, cos there wasnt a stool for me to sit on, and when i stood up there was this intense pain in my back. took me a while to recover and now i'm still aching. hope squashing later would make it all better. i sort of realised that i havent had anything to eat or drink since morning so i had some biscuits and water. there wasnt much food left in the house cos i havent been doing grocery shopping for a long time. working really makes me not wanna do anything but sit at home and have a good rest by watching tv and surfing the net.
will have to go to the bank later to get a new bank book. the one that i have now is almost full, think i have too many tansactions cos i use alot of nets to pay for my stuff. haha. and that's how my money just vanishes into thin air. will be going down for sqaush and marcus yq huiwen will be there. not sure who else but i get to play with marcus!! think he'll want to run at the track again. haha.

had a hard time wake up for work again. was suppose to sleep earlier last night but i ended up uploading pictures into the email one by one and sending them to robin. haha. i went to sleep at about 12 and he woke me up with his call at around 1230 thinking that i was still awake, uploading files and bombarding his email with complains about how tired i was. haha. he felt so bad cos he woke me up and cos i had to sit in front of the comp for a few hours sending him the pictures, so now he owes me a drink and muffin at starbucks, drink for sending the pictures and muffin for waking me up. heh. and i owe him his birthday present which i have already bought. yay!!
during lunch break at work sam lent me a book on relationships called "men are clams, women are crowbars". it's about the differences between a man and a woman that makes conflicts arise very easily and the book tells you how to overcome the problem by understanding the other party better and how they react and think in different situations. It's a christian book so it said something like it is easier for most christians to solve their conflicts cos they have God in their lives. i dunno how having God as a third party works, but my mom always tells me that when a couple quarrel, they kinda take a step back first to reflect on God and remember his word about getting angry too easily and try to talk things over with your other half in a calm manner...or something like that. haha. maybe i'll only really understand what she really means when i get a husband. anyways, i went to sleep after reading at about 1320 and woke up at 1345 again.
after lunch i had to do a mundane job. i had to print out letters to all our local third party vendors to inform them about us changing our payment system to the giro system. so i had to copy the company name and their addresses from an excel spreadsheet and paste it onto the word document with the same letter content used for every letter and print. it was copy paste print, copy paste print, cpoy paste print....half way while copying pasting and printing, it became only my subconscious mind working and the main brain was sleeping, i remebered it felt like i suddenly woke up from a trance and found myself still copying pasting and printing. haha.
after work i went shopping with sam! took the company bus down to toapayoh and took the train down to orchard mrt and walked to fareast plaza. we only stayed at the basement cos for some reason sam didnt wanna go up. mark came after a while and we went to eat fried mars bar and then had subway for dinner. had my usual cold cut trio plus ice lemon tea plus cookies. yumms! had a fruitful shopping trip today, but i still wanna go bugis with esther to get a pair of black jeans and heels. i bought a pair of 3quarts from Red2, a black dress and a christmasy looking knee length skirt from This Fashion. i also wanted to get this white formal looking dress cos i looked great it in but it was a little too transparent, plus it was the last piece and had some dirty spot on it, so i had to give it up in the end. but i knew that even if i got it i wouldnt wear it much, maybe i'll only wear it once if i ever have a formal function to attend and that would be it. smart decision. ken would be proud or me :))) haha.
can feel my throat closing up. i've probably been eating too many chocolates at work cos i get bored easily and had fried mars bar too. think i'll go shower and drink buckets full of water before i sleep.
tooooddlesss!

had a durian outing last night. yongqi was suppose to come along, but he had food poisoning and couldnt make it in the end. so it was dan seejun and me. they went to school for squash and i had OT. came home at about 830 and dan drove over at about 915 cos we were suppose to eat the hokien mee. but once again, the store was closed by the time we got there. in the end we went to some place at balesteir to eat dinner. ordered a few plates of different things to share. there happened to be a fruit shop near by that sold durian, so we went to eat there. we only had one durian that weighed 2+ kg and it cost 40 bucks!!! got home at about 1130 and watched some tv before i went to sleep.
woke up at 630 this morning although i set my alarm 6am. ailian was on MC today cos she wasnt feeling well and sam sent our kitten to the vet to get sterilized so she took the day off. had a busy day at work and surprisingly i wasnt feeling very tired only until after i had lunch. i fell asleep at 1315 and only woke up at 1345. didnt know why nobody bothered to wake me up. haha. managed to complete everything by the time i left, so tmw i think it'll be a very slack day for me. darn...i like busy, busy gooood! haha.
on the bus ride home i noticed that most of the china workers had really expensive phones. i really wonder how they afford those phones when they are paid so much lesser then i do. or maybe they work their butts off and earn like 10 times more then me. haha.
i'll be sleeping early tonight. so tired! i havent been sleeping before 12 for the past few weeks. my eye rings are getting darker and darker....

i've been trying to do my quiet time faithfully for the past few weeks. so everyday i'll blog about what i learn. haha. i thought it would be better to do my quite time the morning, but every day i wake up only to have enough time to get ready and make it on time for the company bus. so i've been doing it every night instead.
last night's main idea was: Resentment comes from looking at others; contentment comes from looking at God.
When anger lingers in our heart,
It poisons all we think and do;
When faith seeks ways to show God's love
It keeps our spirit strong and true.

my main problem is that i get jealous when i see other couples holding hands on the streets or hugging on the trains, and then i start to get all emo and think about stuffs. in a sense, it's sort of coverting after what is not mine and one of the 10 commandments is something like thou shall not covert your neighbours property. i'm not really wanting to have the guys that i see, i just want to have that feeling that they have, the special someone to hold and love. haha. ah wells, i've been learning to look away and think about something else when i see couples lovey-dovey-ing. haha.
was late for church again this morning. i think i got a problem with being early when i go out. i spend alot of time getting ready and i like to laze around before getting up even though i only give myself just enough time to get ready. haha. after sunday school i got a lift from aunty geak hong to clementi mrt and made my way to serangoon to return my gown. found out that the last day to return it is today, if i returned it any later i would loose my deposit. met marcus at about 245 in town to go do some shopping for the people who i owe birthday presents too. haha. we went for lunch at cine long john's and then made our way down to the australian university show at orchard hotel just for the fun of it and to look for joshua. i havent seen him in the longest time cos he's always so busy with army. i went to look at the RMIT booth and got a brocher just to take a look. the campus looks like some castle from the olden days. haha. kinda cool. but when i saw the costs of accomodation it was quite a turn off cos it cost as much as the school fees. scary! think it was meant for me to study in singapore right from the very beginning although i really would love the experiences from overseas study. when joshua was done signing up for ANU - mechnical engineering, 3 of us went for the PC show at suntec. it was super crowded. josh met his army friends and went to buy a camera. marc and i went looking around cos he had to buy a printer for his cuz. josh called and said he was leaving cos he had to book in tonight so he had to rush home to get ready. i didnt get to say goodbye, but we'll meet real soon...right josh?? haha. it was so crowded in there that i couldnt wait to get out. they provided a trolley along with the printer so that we could drag it around with ease. had dinner at carls junior and i told marc about what the beef patty were made of and i think he wont touch a burger ever again. almost spoilt his appetite cos i told him about it even before he started eating. haha. took a train down to toapayoh, cos that was where he parked his car, and then he drove me home. i found it funny when he took out the road map cos i've mostly been in cars of older drivers who knows almost ever road in Singapore so their road maps are probably rotting somewhere at the back of the car. haha. had a relaxing ride home and really enjoyed it cos i was so tired. felt kinda bad cos i kept yawning throughout the day when i was the one that pulled marc to come out with me. haha.
just watched ugly betty and i think it's getting a little wee bit too dark for my liking. i thought it would a comedy kinda fun happy show...but the story is getting more and more complicated and i dun have the motivation to come home to watch it every sunday anymore. work tmw and it's already 12.16am. shall go have my beauty sleep now.
tooooddlesss!

forced myself to wake up at 830 this morning so i could get ready to go for the Watermelon Party that i agreed to help at. the watermelon party was organised by my church for the kids at the Cashew Heights condo and they'll be having another party on the 16th of june, and i'll most probably be helping out again. uncle joseph picked me up from the bus stop near my place and we went there ealier to set up all the games. my game was a board of many watermelon pictures with different scores and there were nails sticking out on the board on each watermelon. the kids were suppose to throw rubber bands and try get them around the nails, each kid should be given 5 rubber bands. but then it was nearly impossible to get any ringed around the nails cos the rubber bands were just too flimsy, so i gave each kid like 20 tries. i just couldnt bear to see their upset faces when they couldnt get a point. they were all so adorable and some of the mothers who brought their older children to the party also had babies. one daddy brought 3 sons, and the youngest son is a 2 year old named luke. he's so CUTE!! lydia junmei and i were like crazy over him and couldnt keep our hands off him and his cheeks. haha. i carried him for the longest time cos he was just so cuddly and cuddly! lydia and junmei fed him potato chips and he loved it, he just kept eating it non stop while he held on to a kinder bueno chocolate, squishing it. haha. i only passed him to kahhwee when my arm got tired and also cos i saw another baby i wanted to carry. haha.
the party ended with lots of food and i made my way down to woodlands to meet nisa saadiah naddiah jermin and kc to go play badminton. cos naddiah and jermin were going to be a little late, i dragged nisa and saadiah to go to the nokia care center with me so i could get my phone fixed. but then when it got to my turn the lady said that they would have to upgrade the phone system and all the data would be erased. so i like "NO! i'll come back another day after i've saved all my data into my comp" and only after i walked away jermin and nisa brought to my attention that all my data were actually saved in my memory card which they wouldnt touch. wanted to turn back and ask the lady to just get it fixed for me, but there were already the next customer at the seat. so i had to go back again after badminton cos we were already late. met kc near the mrt cos he rode his bike over from home. made our way down to the sports complex and started our game of crazy badminton until 4. i had to go barefooted cos i couldnt be bothered to bring a pair of shoes to play. haha. i realised i've been doing alot of sports this week, squash cycling and badminton. and i almost went swimming on thursday but it rained. anyways, it was a very short meeting but we all had fun catching up. nis left to meet her love, naddiah went out to somewhere, jermin went to meet junjie to watch shrek 3, and saadiah kc and i went back to the nokia care center. waited for about 30 minutes before my turn came, my stomach was growling non stop for some reason....maybe cos i didnt eat breakfast and lunch. haha. we went to banquet to have dinner and talked alot of nonsense, alot of crap came out from kc. haha. we all left at 6 plus for home. i was phoneless for a good 2 hours, and i felt kinda lost cos i didnt know the time, didnt have my music to listen to on the long journey home. fell asleep on the bus and kept knocking onto the poor lady that sat beside me. i had to hold on to the chair infront cos the bus was the very old model and had seats that were 3/4 the size of the seats on the newer buses. almost fell off the chair a few times.
came home and ate the durian my aunty bought for us. now my throat feels all closed up. think i'm getting a sore throat soon. but nothing can stop me from going out on tuesday for my durian feast with dan and yq!!! trying to drink tons of water now so i can enjoy the yummiest durians :)))

just came back from a late night supper of prata and teh halia. was feeling so tired the whole day. fell alseep at my desk before work started and was only woken up by yvonne at 9. oops. had so much to do today and she wanted me to OT. i begged my way out of it and she let me go, but with the condition i OT on monday if i couldnt finish posting all the documents for month end closing. but i dun mind OT. i love OT. haha. more money, and it's better then being home with nothing to do but face the computer or tv. ailian, sam and i went to the meeting room to take a nap and chit chat during our lunch break, after lunch of cos. it was a nice place to sleep cos we could switch off the lights, but the chairs were a little too uncomfortable. we went back to work at 1345 when we were suppose to be at our desks at 1330. haha. nobody bothers as long as we do our job well and efficiently. haha.
mark came to pick sam up for dinner after work. ailian took the bus to bedok and i took the bus to clementi. duncan came up the same bus as me and we talked the whole way. although i had to come up with random stuff to keep the conversation going. haha. it was really so random that i think he got a shock when the topic changed from one to another without any link. haha. he was suppose to alight at the chinese garden stop, but he decided to accompany me all the way to clementi so he could take a train to town. it was nearer for him too anyways...
i was the first to reach uncle clarence's house and only found out that uncle clarence was away on his personal holiday to go diving, aunty geak hong was at some dinner function and jessie was at camp. haha. wanted to sleep for a while but amazingly i wasnt tired when i got there. so i watched the channel u show while waiting for the rest to come. kahhwee nic deb evelyn and sharon came not long after and we had dinner at 8 after the show ended. uncle clarence's maid cooked dinner for us, roasted chicken wings, baked potatoes, and salad. yumms...haha.
nigel came when we were all done with our dinner and he ate the left overs. started bible study at bout 9 plus and deb was leading. there was no guitarist so we had to sing a cappella. haha. cell ended at 10 plus 11 and we went for supper cos it was a long time since we went for a prata "party". haha. we were talking about stuff and one topic was on how some of the couples kahhwee knew who broke up after going for pre-marriage counselling because they realised how different their values and stuff were. i think people now adays fail to realise the significance of marriage or even what love or passion is about. love is not forever, but it takes time and alot of effort to make things work. it's like during courtship when both sides do their very best to make each other happy, but then they stop after marriage becos they feel like they already got what they wanted.
these few days i've been feeling so tired. i dunno if it's physically or mentally or both. but when i get the chance to sit down and rest for a while i always think about how good it would be if i had someone that i could lean my head against and hold me so i can forget about the world cos i know that he or she is there to protect me. i really miss my daddy and mommy. on mother's day during youth group, each of us had to say one thing about mothers. when it came to my turn, i just broke down and cried half way while talking. i guess the people there understood why i cried. when you have your mom always by your side and when you have to face her everyday, you just take her for granted, shout at her when you are not in the best of moods, and if she starts to nag at you, you just wished you were somewhere else instead of being home. i really miss the homely feeling i use to get when i could come home knowing that there'll be someone in the house wanting to know how your day has been. that i could give my daddy a hug and my mommy a kiss before i go to bed. lots of people think that without parents around, the 3 of us became wild and did whatever we liked. but i guess it's the same for jet and sam, that we didnt like coming home to an empty house. i would rather stay out all night then to come home and lie in bed knowing that there's no one else at home but me.
i definately would like to have someone that will always there for me, like what sam has, but i'm not ready to go through another relationship just so i can have a nice warm hug whenever i need one. some people pick themselves up quickly when they fall. some prefer to lie on the ground for a little while before they decide it's time to get up. i guess for me, i'm sitting up. i've left my past as it is and know that i wouldnt wanna relive it again, but i just wanna rest before i stand up and start moving forward again. i'm learning to occupy myself in little ways, so maybe that's why i enjoy working. evelyn said that i'm at the best age to go out to meet people and make new friends, but then where do i start? my work place has not many people my age and most of them there are aunties, uncles, indian workers or china workers...haha. i just wanna find people i can travel with, but so far my friends are all kinda busy, cant step out of singapore without their parents, or have no money to travel. i really envy sam cos she has been on so many holidays with her friends, US Genting Vietnam Austraila and still counting...
when will my life take me on an interesting journey?
