Third Halloween Party @ Dbl O

Wat a tiring Sunday! I was out the whole day with tuition in the morning. Then it was time for the gym to flex my muscles. whahaha... After which, it was time to meet Jun and NTU gang. Yes, we have confirmed our next trip. Ha... Its time for Taipei finally. Yipee. The trip has been booked. Will be there in a couple of weeks.

Last night was Halloween Night. I had a great time playing with many pple who dressed up for the occasion. Ken eventually turned up with his fellow colleagues and we had great fun. The regulars were present too. I joined David and gang after Ken left. Had a good time catching up with them, particularly Ziyi.

This year, Halloween party is much better. Its my third time celebrating it at Dbl O. I still remembered the entry i wrote 2 years ago when i first attended the halloween party at the same place. Time flies and i am 2 years older. The good thing is i met many new friends, my social circle is widening despite getting older.

Back to the party, many came and dressed in different costumes. I saw Nurses, Chef, Pumpkin, Fairies, Devils, Vampires, Blondies, Movie characters like Jason etc. They were really geared up for the occasion, it change the entire mood and environment. Dbl O brought in a good Dj and spinned good mix of retro. Fun!

I was disturbing some halloween goers, where i pulled their hair, ribbons or even attempts to take down their masks. whahaha.. I saw Daniel Ong, who was dressed as a pumpkin. These pple came in buses, i think 3 of them. I guess they are entitled to free flow of liquor. That was cool. Our halloween night party is improving, it is going to be a "big" event as the year goes by.

Life is hard and i am enjoying every moment of it. Hee. Overseas trip, clubbing thru the night, meeting dearie. They are precious moment in my life and i cherished it very much. One day when i grow old, i would appreciate even more and reminise the good old days.

Another Hectic Week

This has been another hectic week for me. I was busy working on a project that almost led me to a dead end. I was pretty frustrated over the last few days, worrying that the project cannot be done. I was searching high and low for help, eventually, things turned out fine. Thank god!

Attended a class this morning. Gosh, it was more like a religious talk by a spiritual leader. I will say its not bad, get to learn more abt another religion. The only downside is i have to wake up early and continue to work till late at night. Fortunately, my senior granted me the permission to leave early. So, i left office after 1030pm, which is a bonus. ha....

Its another working day for me tomolo. But it is SATURDAY. whahaha... that also means party time. How i miss the time there. Its time to meet the regulars and gossip thru the night. Furthermore, its halloween night. I bet pple will turn up in funny costume, the mood will be completely different.

I am certainly looking fwd to the event. I need a break. Saturday night is the only time that i dun have to think abt work. Music pls...

"You r just too good to be true, I cant take my eyes off you..."

Romance?

Was being "lectured" by a friend regarding relationship. Ha... And to me, this person is the least qualified to discuss relationship with me. Though i do not condemn him/her over their failed relationship, their ideology of relationship is different from mine, and that's probably why they ended eventually.

Wat is deemed as a relationship?

"Buy Issey Miyaki for me?"
"I love to dine in a restaurant only"
"Call me every now and then ie everything 30 mins"
"Buy a car if you love me"
"I dun like your friend, if you ever ask me out with them, i will give you a black face"

So is this a relationship? or so called ROMANCE? Wow. That's cool! ha.. I was thinking over the past few hours abt wat a relationship is. If this is so called a relationship or romance, i would have failed undoubtly. Cant even get C6. The more i think, the more i felt ridiculous.

To me, a relationship is a kind of feeling towards someone. You know she/he is there for you, you know how she/he appreciates you, you know the care she/he has for you. NOT the MATERIAL kind of romance. It is always the tots that count. So wat if you can fulfill all the material request, it will eventually collapse one day. And it did!

So far, i have enjoyed the company of my dearie. I have always encouraged her to live life to the fullest. Do wat you like when you are young and still able to. One day, when one grows old, i would not want to hear things like i would have done this when i was younger. Do it now. Life is not abt you and me. It is abt everything.

It is abt how comfortable and fun you have with each other. Like wat dearie said, she enjoyed the way we are now, so am i. As for the lecturer, i guess he/she should take a step back to reflect upon himself/herself. Well, i wont say i am an expert in this area, but at least i know what i am doing. ha...

24 Hours Ago

Lost my voice since i came home from Dbl O last night. Alright, wat happen? Well, due to the haze, my throat has not been feeling too good. It was uncomfortable all the time. Then there was some coughing, condtion worsen, cant talk now. ha... Went tuition early in the morning. The kid had to bear with my funny voice.

Back to the party last night, it was EXTREMELY fun. I really enjoyed the company of the regulars there. Met David earlier and had a chat with him before the party starts. This guy is lucky, manage to find a job after he left the army. Lucky him. Oh, he did his C-Walk dance movement that impressed me a lot. That was a nice one!

Then we party till 2am before we proceed to the lounge for some chilling out session. Beside the usual gang of mine, the siblings were there, we gossip. So relaxing, dun have to worry about wat is going to happen next. Order Carlsburg, did some loud cheers. Enjoyed myself.

Then we found out Gavin and one of the regular share the same birthday. Few of us wanted to sabot them, but realise i will not be ard during that period. Well, yes, my upcoming trip to Mynamar. It is time to take a short break from work. I am so tired of all that rushing and running ard.

Then it was time to hit the dance floor again, before we adjorned for supper. That was a good one too. It seems that the conversation cant stop. ha.. Know why? Cos there is no hidden agenda and everyone is free to talk. If not, i would have shut my moutn and listen. Finally left for home at 4am.

Vivocity
Was out with jun later in the evening to Vivocity. I would say a pretty impressive structure that resembled Zouk. ha. Yes, i wonder if they share the same architect or designer. Vivocity is like a replica of Zouk, especially its exterior. As for the interior, it is not too bad. Actually, it was not as bad as what ken said, an upgraded version of Tampines Mall or Jurong Point.

In fact, i find it similar to Marina Square. Since its the latest shopping centre in town, it drew thousands of pple. Ah ma were there, 1 month old babies were there. I almost fainted. ha... I think Singaporeans are deprived of new places. Our country is way to small.

On the patio of Vivocity, it reminded me of The Peak in Hong Kong. They had an outdoor playground, scenery of the sea etc. Jun felt the same too. The only difference is the weather. We are so warm and humid. The disturbing haze aggrevated the situation.

Seriously, after this visit to Vivocity, i have the intention to upgrade my PF membership. The gym is really cool, overlooking the sea and Sentosa. The downside, pple from outside could see us running on threadmills and flexing our muscles. wahahah... No more privacy. However, the not-so-bad scenery will compensate everything. ha... Alright, its time for bed. Slept for a few hours only. Peace out!

Dun have a Choice

Time for some whinings! Received several phone calls this afternoon, but there was one that spoilt my day. I was irritated by the call. It was not fun at all, in fact it was sickening. If you are not keen to talk, dun call. Waste of money and time.

Sometimes, i really wonder, do i have a choice? I dun really think so. Luck has not been on my side eversince i left army. It always move against me when i needed it badly. I have been patiently waiting, trying and praying. Wat did i get in the end? Shit, more shit and more more shit. Wat have i done to deserve this?

Pple can find million of reasons to exclude you without even giving u a chance. No doubt money is not the solution to everything, it does serve a purpose. Passion drives you to work harder, however, it doesnt stay long. I guess sien and i can vouch for that. So wat's next?

Been trying so hard till i am now at my wits end. I cant make any decision becos i dun have a choice. To make a decision, you should have at least 1 choice to make. Damn. I have none! WTH went wrong? Well, it has been a good 15 months. Like one blogger said, good things r meant to wait. I got to agree. There wont be any difference be it a 15 mth wait or 18 mth wait.

Some pple got the luck. Me? I would appreciate if anyone will offer some luck to me, or help pray for me. haiz... I hope the trip to Mynamar will boost my luck a bit!

No Time for Dinner

This has been a very busy week. I am always rushing ard like nobody business. Working hours are longer, almost up to 12 hours. Sometime, i cant even have a proper meal, halfway thru my dinner, i need to do follow up despite of an empty stomach. My food ended up remained untouch. This is so unhealthy.

The hazy condition aggrevated the situation. I stayed outdoor longer than usual. My throat became dry, head started to spin badly. Felt uneasy and uncomfortable. Slept unusually early last night due to severe tiredness. At the middle of the night, woke up suddenly feeling sick. Took panadol before continuing my sleep.

Wanted to take MC initially. Fortunately, i felt better when i woke up. Moreover, there are ton of stuff awaiting for me to follow up. I dun wish to pass the burden to an innocent party. Once again, work is tough yet unjustified in terms of moola. So sad!

Am i enjoying myself so far? Well, i would say not too bad. Of course, if the "better opportunity" materialise, i would love to try. whahaha... Yes, looking forward to tat. I need to have a good break this wkend. Will wait for David's treat on Sat. Ha... I want Carlsberg!!! Housepour will be fine too...hahaha...

Dearie is back finally. Can hear her excitement over the phone. I guess life is so much better over in Paris. Relaxed, nice weather, less stressful life. If ever i have the oppt to go France again, I would love to indulge myself in the unique french culture. It's a dream! ha

Pilgrimage Time

Paid pilgrimage to Dbl O this evening. Ha! Yes, its time of the week to cool off a little. Despite the hazy condition, Ken and I met early to go Dbl O. The place is undergoing some kind of renovation. I heard they intend to convert part of their floor space to sell souvenirs like T-shirt, caps or shot glasses. Its a concept store like Hard Rock Cafe.

While waiting for the music to start, met David. The guy who never fail to entertain me. He reminded me of Keith and Winson. Talking to them is simply relaxing, no stress or motive at the back of each conversation. Sometimes, i am really sick of talking, cos one small mistake can eventually snowball to a big issue.

This young lad is cool with dancing, excellent move. His friend was there too, had a chat with them in the chill out lounge after partying. Heard many funny stuff from them. Ha... Really cheered me a lot after a disappointing wk. We were discussing if we should go Zouk Out this year. Well, i am not too keen but shall see. ha... I dun like to dance in a sandy environment. Dirty! ha

Msg dearie earlier. She is on her way home. I am glad she enjoyed herself tremendously. It is good always good to be away from home once in a while. One will feel recharged, learn to appreciate more. She will be touching down in a few hours. I guess i will welcome her in dreamland, hee hee. Another long day at work later, its time to do some system test.

Tougher Times

It has been a long day for me. Got over the bad incident that i had 2 days ago. If pple doesnt appreciate or simply choose to ignore, i should remain nonchalent and let it go. After all, it leads to no where if i keep thinking abt it. Probably its time that i should have more faith in myself despite tougher time ahead.

Was tasked to do something impt over the coming months. It is really stressful. One simple mistake can be magnified to a big scale. Then again, it does not justified wat i am earning. I would call it unbalanced. Sometimes, i guess pple dun have a choice but to live with it. Sad.

On a happier note, its wkend. I am off! Yipee! Should be meeting up ken and friends later. Its time for Dbl O again. I have been looking fwd since last sat. Once again, i could party till dawn without burden. All unjustified moments will be erased. Ha. That wat i hope to achieve. If not, it will always be in my mind. Damz.

Anyway, dearie is coming home soon. Her holiday is ending in a day time. I wonder how is she coping. I believe she must have had lots of fun while enjoying the enchanting sceneries of France. How lovely. My turn is coming up. Ha. It is time to head aboard. Countdown to a month time!

Why me?

Very upset by an incident today. If it wasnt this incident, i would have been happier. This question has been in my mind all the time, pple are advancing aggressively, while i am taking a back step. I prefer to move fwd but it seems that some unforseeable situation is stopping me. My heart hurts and aching badly.

I hate it when i am forever at the end of the pack. I dun wish to be the number one, somewhere in the middle will do. No, someone is telling me, you have to stay at the end of the crowd. If possible, move against everyone. This is so bad. What have i done wrong to deserve such treatment? I have never done evil, i even gave 10 good reasons why i should not be treated this way. Can someone give me better luck?

A friend once said, things happened for a reason. There must be a reason why i am still walking in a circle. You can deliver but others felt it was too high a price to pay. This is funny. No matter how hard u try, how hard u work for, it's worthless. I can fully understand the feeling of this blogger now.

If you really feel that your work is not justifiable with the pay you're getting, just move on.

We know that you have been working hard over these months and you have not let us down.

Day by day, the destruction post-mortem seems to be consuming me deeper into giving up this job.

I love my job. I love the way I run and complete my events. But its really to the point that I don't find passion in it like I used to already

I felt like tearing. Wat i have been achieveing so far is not worth mentioning. Luck has not been on my side. I am always the one watching others in envy. There is nothing much i can do. Wait. Yes, wait! I can wait but time cant. Wat do you want me to do? I really dunno.

This is such a disheartening entry. I have decided to play my favourite songs on computer to cheer up my spirit. It is pointless to think further. Its wed, everyone is partying away at MOS or Zouk while i am back at home contemplating. I need a life, partying will do me good.

Ramblings

Its only the first day of a work week when a turn of event took place. Met a friend earlier. Was in pretty bad shape initially. As a good friend, i think i should lend her a support esp in times of difficulties. No matter wat, she has the support of many friends. She will overcome as time passes. I am confident!

Tuition kid is really giving me a big headache. I hope he will take his exams more seriously. Its less than 30 days away to exams and i am giving him a final crash course. Bought him more past year papers for practice. If he is not going to help himself, no other one can. Even if u ask GOD for help, he cant do much too.

Well, he has been too dependent. Or should i say, he cant be bothered. I dun really understand why kids these days are so nonchalent. They can pretend as if nothing had happen. No lor. His parents are worried. So am i. Faint! I am already very stress with work and the kid is giving me even more problems.

Once i am finish with him, i guess i will not take any more tuition. Its enough. It is easier to teach someone who is willing to learn than to take one who prefer to stay nonchalent. 30 more days to go. Endure!

Work has been the same, though there was a turn of event too. Shall not reveal too much. As usual, why me again? I tot life would be simpler. No. You want to make it easier but that's not the case. How should i go abt avoiding it? Not easy. As long as i am in the playing field, it is not going to be easy. I guess i will have to stick with it.

Dearie started her tour. I hope she is having a good time. I heard she had problems with work too. Although on vacation, she is on-the-call. I hated it when its like tat. I told her to enjoy everything, stress when she is back. There is nothing much she can do when she is over 10000km away from home. ha... It's true!

Cheers to Dbl O Team

"Cheers to Dbl O's mambo team!"

Now, that is wat i liked about partying at Dbl O. whahaha... It was an excellent night despite our PSI level standing at an unhealthy range of 150! Everyone was high last night, dancing and cheering. Forget abt work at tat moment, enjoy myself to the fullest. That is wat i call LIFE!

It all started when one regular bought us drinks. It was nice of him to treat us to bottles of Carlsberg. 5 of us, chilling out at the lounge while gossiping away the night. There are no burden, no commitment, no agenda, nothing attach, I have nothing to worry abt even if i left the place.

We cheered to everyone in the bar, we held our bottles high, we chanted encouraging remarks. This is so positive. We teased each other, commented on our funny dance moves. I love the peeps there. Once again, they make me young. Although they are much younger, they make inspirational commments too.

"We are here to relax and have fun, not to get involved in politics!"

Then, a lady in mid 30s came along and bought us more drinks. According to Gavin, it was a drink named graveyard. After which, it was another round, "Sex on the Beach"! Woo! It made everyone sexy. whahaha.... I drank quite a bit cos Gavin treated me to Vodka Orange before the party started. Ha...

Back to the "old" lady, she was in net stalkings and tube. I guess she wanted to seduce a friend of mine, who is a NS boy. Gosh, he was already drunk and she started touching him. ha. Desperate or hungry? As responsible friends, we brought him away and left quickly. If not, ha... shall not elaborate further.

I am glad i met many new friends. They are really fun! With these pple around, it makes life simpler. I have also learnt to live life to the fullest. And i will always keep it that way!

Hazy Mooncake Festival

Received greetings from dearie over the last 2 days. Its mid autumn festival and she is alone in France after attending a conference. I hope she is coping fine, and will enjoy to the fullest. Felt so happy when i received the message. Tot we could watch the moon at the same time, i guess its difficult cos the haze is really bad here.

Felt like choking while i came home from office. Well, the office is equally bad. Haze got into the room, making the place smell like someone started a fire. Tat's bad! I guess the entire region is covered with blankets of thick smoke. I hope the wind will do something to get rid of them.

Was chatting with a friend a short while ago. Tok abt work and relationship. I guess mine is still the same, am i comfortable with work? So much have happened lately. My mind is very clear, i think i know wat i want. And i hope it will materialised. How i wish i could go away. Travel ard with dearie and forget everything at home. Sad!

Well, its Mooncake festival and SAT liao!!! ha... I shall indulge in more happy stuff, think abt happy scenarios! whahaha... Its abt things that i always look fwd to after a wk of stress, unjustifiable moments! I want to hit to the dance floor!!! Anyone? say hello to me when u see me at Dbl O later ya?

MOS vs Zouk

Ken was rite afterall. MOS plays retro on Wed nite! Its a replica of Zouk's Mambo. Whahaha... I really enjoyed myself throughout the night. I wanted to leave early but the music stopped me from leaving. Cant believe it. MOS is doing a good job despite Zouk's market leader position.

Surprisingly, crowd was pretty huge. Everything is good except one, pple here are much older. Ha... Though i am not young either, the ladies and guys are above 25? Most are executives, donned in long sleeve shirts and formal office wears. Something that we seldom see in Zouk.

Back to MOS, the ambience is good. Since the night is theme as candy floss party, though i dun really see candy floss, i see bubbles and foams falling gradually from above! Well, that's something zouk doesnt offer. There is always plenty of space to dance cos the dance floor is damn huge! Unlike zouk, no place, bumped into someone, kick someone's ass, haiz.

Oh, met Jianyi and a couple of his friends. whaha.. Once again, world is small, cant do evil stuff. ha. He was out with a few classmates, who are also my schoolmates. Put it this way, we were from different classes in our primary school. They belong to the same class, 6A, while me, ha... in the last class 6E.

That's like donkey years ago liao. boo... He is still in touch with his classmates. On the other hand, i almost lost contact with all my primary school friends. Who do i still keep in touch with rite now? Alvin and Fuming. Ai ya ya! The friendship that i forged during primary school days are like gone. Thankfully, i manage to keep in touch with 3 including Jianyi.

Its off day. I am still not asleep. I guess i am overwhelmed with the party just now. Different place same music. I like it! Gonna have a good rest at home. Maybe heading to the gym later. Still thinking if i should do cardio, cos i had too much just now. ha....

Published on Papers

Oh my Gosh! I cant believe it. One of my entries regrading Singapore Idol has been published in the papers today!!! hahaha... This is so exciting. I was sleeping soundly this morning when i received a msg from a friend. She alerted me that one of my blogging entry has been published.

I almost jumped out of bed. Asked my mum to purchase a copy of paper. Then the truth! Yes, they feature my article abt Hady (Singapore Idol 2)! whahaha... It was so real and so warming. Intangible recognition, though i dun charge them a fee. It is kind of them to put up my entry. Thanks!

Anyway, i am going to keep that published copy. If not for Lilian, i guess i wouldnt find out. whahaha... I couldnt sleep after that and was jumping ard for joy. Strangers and pple do read our blog. It's true afterall. Blog sphere is really getting more exciting.

Its Tuesday and i am off. Went for tuition in the afternoon, to realise that the kid couldnt concentrate. It will be a few more lessons before the exams. I am getting stress so is he. Weather is pretty warm this afternoon, head is spinning, body is aching. I will rest early tonight. Must be all the excitement this morning. ha....

Parenting

I was going to bed when i read abt an update of an old but not-so-close friend. I remembered there was once when i wrote his shot gun marriage. Several months have passed, his wife is 7 mth pregnant and ready to deliver soon. Marriage has indeed make a change in his life.

When i know him, he was still in the army. He will always be at the podium almost every wed without fail at zouk, including Dbl O on wkend. Blissfully wed, he is now a father of a girl. I cant imagine a guy who is always so playful, becoming a responsible parent. In the past, he is directionless, now he has a objective to work for in life. If that is what he wanted, I congratulate him.

Compare to his peers, he has lost all the freedom and fun that he should enjoy at this stage in life. Due to his "carelessness", he created a life. I am not sure abt his wife (wife looks young too), but both are taking a huge responsiblity ahead. It is not as simple as they tot. If time could revert, they would probably prefer a child later.

Raising a child is never easy. Although i dun have a child, watching my sister bringing up her kid, plus the tuition kid that i had, i am fully aware of the stress that parents need to go thru. I guess it will be my turn in a few years time too. hahaha.... For now, its still me. And i want to enjoy every moment i have.

A kid create miracles, he/she will make a change in our life. However, I prefer to see him/her later in life. ha. I am not ready for a kid yet, but i am definitely ready for a greener pasture. whahaha....

New Month Again!

Its the start of another brand new month. I hope more can be achieved this month. Having lots of tots lately after seeing uneventful stuff going on at workplace. It is worse than i tot. The obstacle will be overcome once i see a light at the end of the tunnel. Ha... as usual analogy.

A friend sent me an article. I share the same sentiment as this blogger.

说回工作，工作对我只是两个简单的字－工、作：有工就作。

没有执着、没有寄托、没有感情、没有伟大、没有情操、没有奉献。

执着和寄托：我尽量不要有
感情：我只对活的东西产生感情
伟大：我对伟大的定义是许哲
情操：我不懂什么是情操
奉献：我以为工作是付出：付出时间和精力（包括脑力和体力），换取酬劳（金钱、满足感），和奉献扯不上边

On a lighter note, went Dbl O last night! whoo hoo... The only place that i forget abt the harsh reality. Party with many regulars. David is back after a few wks of disappearance. I really find these pple very interesting. Got to know a few more regulars too, this time, Larry and gang. I like making young friends as they makes me young. whahaha....

Anyway, i was told that they have observed Ken and me for a very long time. They learned a lot of mambo strokes from us. I was like damn paiseh! Cos the masters are the hard core regulars like Jaden and bro. ha... Not us for sure! Surprisingly, met Larry this afternoon at City Hall. The world is small.

Oh yes, i met Mulian too. So we had a dance before i party with the regulars. Chill out at the lounge with Gavin and the rest. Feel so relaxed! Return home early cos of the tuition this morning. As usual, Sunday is always packed for me. Fortunately, i am off today so met Ken for cuppa in the afternoon.

Dearie is away for work and holiday liao. She has already arrived in the heart of Paris. Full of envy! Her first reaction, weather is cold! ha... I knew it. I hope she will have a good time there, cos she deserves it. Too bad cant send her to airport cos of work. hee... Absence makes the hearts fonder....
