Starry starry night! I was walking home from the bus stop to my house when i tot abt the coversation i had with a friend. It was abt how my relationship started. Till now, i am still thinking n laughing abt it. It happened long ago and yet my memories are fresh, as if it happened yesterday.
I remember i wrote in one of my entries abt the dance in Sentosa. Dearie corrected me and said we first tok to each other with a cloth between us. Oh yes! I suddenly recalled. I was the organiser for the camp that we first met! ha.. Anyway, the memorable part was still the dance. We got saboed by our seniors. It was quite embarrassing but we played along very spontaneously.
As i walked, i remembered the days we walked past yunnan garden in NTU. Oh boy! That was indeed a good place for couples to chill out. Cos if dearie dropped by my hall, i will walk her home. We will always walk under the moonlight or even starry nite in tat garden. hahha.. So interesting. How can i ever forget those places?
My friend said it was sweet. Ha.. I guess these are memories tat will live with me for the rest of my life. I will never forget! When i looked back, i smiled at it. It is just cute and funny. I bet most pple do too. I love to think abt beautiful moments cos it makes you happy. Life is tough, so keep it easier and smile at it. You will have an enjoyable life...

Chilling Out
Wanted to blog last night but i was too tired after a drinking session with dearie. Hmm... It was a beautiful nite chilling out to nice soothing music. I told dearie it is good to chill out in a lounge once in a while to release all the stress we met at work. Well, we have been working very hard over the last few days. We need to destress! hahaha...
I wanted to try some other places at Robertson Quay. Well, i think it is probably a Friday night, most places were crowded with either expatriates or working executives (that includes me) whahhahah! However, the lounge we visited wasnt tat bad. After all, i am still the regular there. Ha.. Met Dephane and Alis. Dephane was still asking me why i am not going over to the dance floor. Nah.. I shall leave it today. Afterall, I am there to drink and relax on Friday.
We ordered a bottle of white wine. Yes! Very Class! hahaha... Sipping away the light taste of spanish white wine. I simply love it. It was a relaxing moment for us. Dearie was carrying all her barang barang from her workplace to meet me. Ha! It was quite a lot! As usual, it is about bitching of our work.
It was quite a hectic day at work. I think my blood pressure shot up. The event ended at 4pm and it was raining heavily. I had to rush back to office to finish my work in time. Argh! I managed to get it done. In the end, i stayed till quite late to make some amendments as requested by some of my seniors. Tiring.... Fortunately, i met up dearie and that make my day!!!
It will be an off day for me today. There will be a wedding dinner tonite. Yes, a reunion of MJR classmates. Ooh.. I love meeting them. Before that, it would be a lunch reception at my uncle place for his 50th birthday celebration. ha... Interesting. He has invited me personally and i think i should go since he asked. hahha... Alright, time to prepare. Long day too.

Challenges
The red wine from last night was good. I simply enjoyed the taste of fremented grapes. Ooh.. Nice one. We got 3 bottles for only $73 only. It was marvellous! The place wasnt tat bad, thanks to the recommendation from a colleague. Chilled out with 2 of my friends. Well, it's bitching abt work and life again! We were talking abt UK! Yes! I miss London, I miss Portsmouth!!!!
I think my bio clock is functioning again. Wanted to sleep more but wake up at 8am in the morning. ha.. I think that got to do with the stress i am going thru later. hahaha.. Anyway, i was somehow late yesterday cos i will automatically wake up at 8am but not earlier than that!!! So, i was almost late but still made it in time!
Sometimes, i ask myself, why are there so many challenges in life? I have met so many, be it studies or career etc. I overcome them one by one. Some challenges are easy to deal with, however some are tough. To a certain extend, some challenges are fun! hahhaha.... I really cannot believe that i have actually overcame them!!! This is so incredible!
Well, in life, u either face it or hack it. To me, my motto still applys. Be simple. Take it as it comes. I am ever ready to face all kind of calls. ahhahaha... I think my boss will treasure me even more. hahha... Hmm.. Will i ever have a pay increment? Time will tell!

Time off
Had some good rest today. Wanted to visit the gym early but was hindered by the thunderstorm. Gosh! The rain was so heavy! I waited for at least half an hour for the rain to turn smaller. Sad. It didnt. I am left with no choice but to leave the house quickly for my gym session. I was late liao!
Freak! My pants were like almost wet! The water somehow got into my pants. Shucks! When i reach the gym, i left my pants to dry. Fortunately, i have another set of extra pants. However, i will be meeting a friend later which will not be nice if i wear my gymming pants. hahha. Cos it is so unglam. hahahha....
Once again, back in my room chilling out to soothing music, courtesy of dearie. I have been thinking abt lots of things lately. Be it career, family, friends and stuff. I think it is good to take some time off occasionally to reflect upon ourselves. Things go wild, unexpected and din move in the right direction u wanted. However, life is just stressful. I guess we have to get accustomed to the quick pace. If not, u will be left behind. Shit, i sounded so much like our leaders. whahahha...

Fully Relax...
Back in my room chilling out nice music of Kenji Wu. Yep. I am impressed by him when he debuted in his first album. However, he wasnt popular tat time till his second album came into the market. It is just so peaceful listening to his song with my table lamp on. The room is cosy and everything is serene. Fantastic!
It was a family day for me. Dearie came over and we had a great time with Jordan. This little imp is really naughty. So talkative and playful. Called me in the morning to chat with me. Ha.. Yep, a five year old kid. He said i sounded horrible over the phone. I nearly spank his backside. hahahha...
Later in the evening, it was time to go Changi Beach. It has been a long time since i went there. Saw lots of planes flying above us. Wah.. So cool! My heart flew with the planes as they soared past us. hahahha... When the nite falls, there were plenty of glittering stars. Whoo.. It was quite a magnificient sight. I hope to see more in Bali. 1 more month to go....

Sunday Break
I was HIGH last night! Had some good drinks and was almost at the mercy of some friends. Thankfully, i fake and pretend i couldnt take it. Whahhaa.... If not, i may really need someone to carry me home. hahhaha.... The music was nice. Once it started, i dashed to the podium where all the actions are. Excellent.
However, the club closes at 3am in the morning which surprised many. Hmmm... It usually closes at 4am. I seriously think the pple did a lousy job. There was no notice or something tat give party goers some form of alert. Pple spend their hardearned money in a club and should expect certain degree of respect. Well, in this case, the management failed badly. Queue was long at the baggage counter. Cant believe it.
I was quite relaxed at work last night until the usual last min stuff came again. My working day started with me going to the canteen with a colleague. whahhaha.... Bought a breakfast set which i tot might have triggered off my stomach upset. Yeah! Went to the toilet a few times. I am not sure if their stuff has been left untouched for few days. Shit! ahahahha....
Anyway, its Sunday! I am so happy cos i dun have to work! To me when i am able to rest on Sunday, i treat it as a luxury. Dearie is coming over and so, it is going to be a family day for me. I love the feeling of waking up in the morning when i dun have to work. It is relaxed and peaceful. Ha... If i could have more Sunday off, it would be fantastic....

Fighting a War
I have been fighting like a war over the last 2 days. Physically challenged and mentally drained. My mind has been working nonstop once i stepped into the office. Finding ways and means to look for contacts. Then it would be continuous action. Argh... Was having slight headache in the afternoon due to the warm weather. Buay Tahan...
Was talking to a friend earlier. OMG! He had excellent travelling experience. I LOVE TRAVELLING. hahahha.. He psychoed me to go Vienna. Oh, how i wish i could visit the heart of Austria, the land of musicians. hahahha... It would be a good experience to go travelling in Europe again. However, it is going to cost a bomb. I am sure abt tat. hahahah..
I was watching tv with mum when she suddenly shouted i want to go South Africa. OMG! Remember my ambition? To step upon the African Continent before 30. If mum is really keen, i will do some research and embarked on my journey to Africa. Whoo.. So far, it is still a dream. I wonder if i can fulfilled it before 30. hmm...

幸福
幸福! I cant write in Mandarin but copy and paste from somewhere. Anyway, i have been inspired by a friend to blog down how i feel abt 幸福. Different pple have various ways of interpreting 幸福. For one, i think if you are simple person, even micro things can make you feel 幸福. So wats my take on tat?
To receive a kiss and hug in the morning when i wake up
To travel around the world and see how pple live
To see my parents happy
To chill out in my room; listening to soothing songs
To meet dearie and enjoy our quiet moment
To bitch about life with friends and colleagues
To sleep peacefully at night with my aircon on
To sip a cup of tea/coffee in a cafe while i watch pple passing by
There are so many little things in life that makes one 幸福. I have shared some of my tots. I guess i am just being simple. Tats my motto in life too!

Freak Out
I am TOTALLY freak out this afternoon. My boss gave me a call at the eleventh hour to do a story. Wah.. I panick and start to ask for help from many friends. Thankfully, i manage to get someone to do it. If not, i will really faint cos i dun even know where to start. I was walking up and down my room, did research, read up on various articles.
When everything has been settled, i worried for some other miscellaneous issues. wah... Think of this think of that. My god. My life span will turn shorter if this happen frequently. To get out of this turmoil, i went out with ken. Ha.. My saviour for the day. He asked me out for dinner and there i am. We bitched abt work again.
Kaz called and we met him. In the end, we ended up in Ken's place. Ha... I have not met his parents for a long time. We chilled out in his room with some red wine. Yep. That really relax me a lot. We had a hearty chat. However, my mind is still running and thinking hard. ha.. I was thinking of various alternatives and ways i can do my stuff. hahaha.. Alamak. Thankfully, the person got back to me and i was really relief.
Life is hard. I am trying my best to take it easy. Whoo.. thanks to my 2 friends. If i am left at home, i think i will go bonkers. hahhaha.... Considering i am still off today. Damn...

Appreciative
Wanted to head lalaland but decided to drop a few lines. I took a good rest today. Yep. Feeling so much better. I headed out at night to meet a friend. We had dinner and bitch abt life. I think when one grows older, u get more bitchy. There are so many things in life that can make one worries, from young, it would be studies, at an older age, ur career, then its relationship.
Wow! I am like... ok. After hearing so many stories, i realise i am very fortunate. I shouldnt be too complacent. Once a while, such stories really trigger me to appreciate life and dearie even more. I learn to treasure whatever i have. And not one day when something is gone, then u start crying.
Alright, there are many excitement and challenges in life too. It is kinda of fun to meet pple who are as crazy and bitchy like you. When crazy pple meets, everything can be haywire. ha... Well, all in the name of fun. Life is not abt work only. I seek enjoyment in life. hahahha.... One day when i grow old, i will be able to tell myself, hey u really know how to enjoy your life!

Wkend Rambings
Finally take some time off to blog. I am SO tired. From work and partying. hahahha... Party started on friday! I had a great time bonding with my fellow colleagues. It was at wine bar. Cool. I love the place, so glamourous and so many pretty faces. But then again, it is also time to be pretendious. hahha... Well, pple in this field tend to behave tat way.
Woke up very early this morning for a grassroot event. Wah liao. I was like only asleep for 3 hours then the sun rose. Jumped out of the bed, did some research and rushed to the venue. Met many interesting residents and MP too. Nice guy whom i think i should look up upon. Successful in career and is already an MP. I should have studied harder and be a high flyer. Damn!
On Saturday, it was the regular session at Dbl O. It was David's birthday. Everyone took time off to attend. It was quite a good turnout. However, ken had a report to rush and he couldnt join us. That was the probably the downside. hahha... We had cake and played poppers. Whoo! Everyone sang him the bday song and ended with poppers in the air. I can see he really enjoyed himself. Excellent!
Back to the topic on pretendious, it has been ringing in my head after i attended several events. I was wondering why pple behave in a certain manner. I spoke to a few pple and it turned out positive. I was like stuck for a moment. Why? Is tat the way life should be? I am a man of principle. There are times i am stubborn. When it is against my will, i dun do it. Ha... Well many dont. They act innocent and have probably taken all kinds of action in their own hands.
I wish no one tells me abt it! It would be better if it was just a dream! My motto remains unchange - Be Simple. I wanna go overseas for a break preferably long breaks. I need something to rejuvnate myself. I was browsing at some of the maps in Eastern Europe yesterday. Awww... How i wish i am in one of those little cottages. Living happily with clear sky and beautiful scenery. Argh.. Reminded me of the time i stayed in Switzerland. ARGH... I want to go again. Then, i will be able to run away from all the evils.... whahhaha

Drinking Culture
I was preparing for work this morning when i saw "Guo Guang Bang Bang Mang" on tv. As usual, the 3 guys like to invite babes to their show and talk abt anything. So this time, they manage to invite 2 babes, one of them is Ruru, to talk abt how girls behave when they drink and club. It just caught my attention!
I guess no matter whether u r in Singapore or Taiwan, clubbing is almost the same. Argh.. I suddenly miss the clubbing in Taiwan. It was quite an eye opener for me. Too bad it was a weekday when i went the other time. I guess if it is a wkend, it will definitely be so much better. Did i tell u the drinks are much concentrated over there? Just ask n the bartender makes u strong drinks. hhahha...
Back to the story, the 3 guys listed out 5 things girl/guy will do when they get drunk.
1. Cry
2. Likes to go ard hugging
3. Roar at pple (Scold)
4. Uttering non stop
5. Ask for more drinks
I was having nasi lemak tat time. OMG! So true and my rice nearly came out of my mouth. hahahah... I have met so many similar incidents. Hahahhahaha... So a drunk person behaves almost the same no matter where they come from. whahaha... Its funny lar. When one gets ultimately high, the impossible becomes near possible. Once a while is cool, however, if it becomes too often, it may irritate the pple ard you.
It is almost end of the week. One more day to go before off day. Attending a seminar tomolo. I hope to finish early and have a nice round of bonding session with my fellow colleagues! Yep! I am looking forward!!!!

Elite Group
Our ministers' pay increment continue to be the hot topic for the day. Besides dominating in Parliament today, everyone in the neighbourhood, coffeeshop and workplace is widely discussing abt it. When i reached office, Bro John asked me to go lunch with him. Woot! We had a great time arguing over the issue.
Well, i din come from the elite group. I dun come from a SAP school, neither am i an officer. I am not even a scholar. How can i work my way into the public sector? I guess most of the time, only the best get selected and work for the pple in white. It is not easy. If you look at the credentials of all the ministers or MPs, they are really the elite group. I am not sure if this is good in the long run, but certainly the not-so-good seems to be outcasted.
Anyway, i was rushing like hell after the lunch with John. But worth it. hahaha.. I am not in the mood to work today after a good rest yesterday. ha. Once again, we bitched abt many things too. Whoo... Interesting debate. whahahha.. Cant divulge too much but it has definitely brightened up my day.
Met Rui En too. Wanted to say hello to her. However, she was surrounded by Bryan and Huifang. Too bad. I guess it has been 2 years plus since i last met her at our BF 308 class. hahaha... I wonder if she still remember me. I used to sit with her at the corner of the class and bitch abt our studies and work. hahahah... She borrowed my notes to copy lor. hahahha...
She is also in the elite group. Too bad she has decided to advance her career in the entertainment field. If she has joined the public sector, i guess life will be different. ha... Alright, that has got to do with interest too. 2 more days before David's bday celebration. I cant wait for the day to arrive! Before tat, there will be a bonding session this friday with my colleagues. whoo.. I want to see them in drunkard mode. whahhahaha.....

Civil Sector Pay Adjustment
OMFG! I cant believe that our cabinet ministers including the president are earning so much a year. Well, from the low and middle income earners, the figures are indeed shocking. From the view of top earners, they are peanuts and nothing. Well, i dun come from the upper income group. I am surprised top civil servants and ministers' pay get an increase of 14% to 33%.
Tat is really a lot. Their basic pay is already a 5 digit figure, the increment will make their pay cheque fatter. How i wish the private sector can make similar adjustment too. Will i get my increment like civil servants too?? hur hur. It can be demoralising to the population in general. I mean how many singaporeans will earn that much?
I agree with some MPs' views. The benchmark is pretty unfair. How could they benchmark to the top earners. I mean these top earners run into the risk of being ousted or voted out by the board of directors. A CEO may be in reign for less than 5 years or even only a year, then he/she will be replaced by another person. I doubt a minister will be asked to leave within a short period of time. Then, why benchmark to top of the top earners? It is really strange.
I mean afterall a govt is to serve pple with their heart and not serve pple with the mind of making more money. Yes, no doubt they have to be compensated for their tough job but not at the expense of the middle or lower income gp earners. Where does the govt generate revenue? Investment and Taxes! Bear in mind, taxes include GST which is going to increase in July. It is just so duh.....
I think most Singaporeans are concern if their pay will be adjusted as well. I hope mine will. hahaha... Then i wont feel so imbalance. whahhaha... More money leh...
Tat is really a lot. Their basic pay is already a 5 digit figure, the increment will make their pay cheque fatter. How i wish the private sector can make similar adjustment too. Will i get my increment like civil servants too?? hur hur. It can be demoralising to the population in general. I mean how many singaporeans will earn that much?
I agree with some MPs' views. The benchmark is pretty unfair. How could they benchmark to the top earners. I mean these top earners run into the risk of being ousted or voted out by the board of directors.

Bo Bian in Life
Its Sunday and i am busy at work in office. I hate to work on Sunday! I realised i have been rostered to work on wkends. Boring and no motivation at all. I spent some time msning to dearie. Ha... An escape from the boring work routine. Afterall, work was more relaxed at night. So we were toking abt the topic on "Bo Bian" which also means things that are not within our control.
In life, there are so many issues abt "Bo Bian". There are many choices to make but some of the time we really find it hard to control. Work is one of the issues. We want to leave early for home but bobian, we cant cos the forever cannot finish stuff is piling up. I want wkend off but bobian cos i have been rostered to work on weekend.
I want to eat fried rice but bobian it has been sold out. I have two irritating siblings but bobian they are my parent's kids, i have to live with it. I wanted to do accountancy in NTU but bobian that year intake for accountancy students exceeded, i was not given a place. I tot i would have left my present employment long ago but bobian cos no one wants to hire me.
haha... There are times we really want to pursue different things, or rather things that we find most pleasurable to do. Eventually, it couldnt be done due to various circumstances. Well, one could argue that they are finding excuses for themselves but hey, ask yourself again, have u ever tried doing things tat are not within ur control. I bet you have. If you dun, i congratulate you. You are probably one of the luckiest pple on earth.
Inspirational tots. Dearie was asking if i had any ideas to write. Yep, after some soul searching tots, i have decided to blog this entry. ha... Life is just full of uncertainties! Like wat a friend say, u think u have the solutions to all, in fact, as u grow older u begin to realise u dun. I kinda of agree. It is time for bed. I think a good sleep will do the trick!

Craziest Nite
OMG! This is one of the wildest and craziest nite i ever had in my 2 years stay in dbl o. A nite filled with many unexpected events and challenges. Ha... Kaz has always dare me to different challenges. Here i am, strong and able to accept watever challenges he had for me. It was completely out of control! hahahaha....
I will remember wat u guys did to me. This is totally insane but for the fun, it is perfectly fine. I guess some pple may be disgusted. Ha... I remained as cool as a cucumber. hahahha... Nothing can put me down. whahhaha... Anyway, i drank a couple of shots this evening. There was brandy, the usual tequila and some funny shots that Jeffrey bought for us.
After which, we proceed for supper. Surprising enough, i am able to eat bak kut teh. ahhahaha... Cos most of the time if i get too drunk i will forgo abt watever food they have. One of our gp mate collapsed at the end of the day. Thankfully, Jeffrey sent her home. Poor thing. hahhaha... Lousy drinker too. I think i should give them a lecture on drinking. whahhaha....
Work was pretty the same for me. Taiwan's KMT has finally elected their new chairman to replace Ma Ying Jeou. I believe the new chairman has plans in mind to rebuild the image of KMT. The presidential election is less than a year away. Well, it is time to do something, before DPP overthrow watever KMT has left for Taiwan. It will be 2 more days before my off day. Whoo... Endure....

Boat Quay
Was out with Ken tonite. I guess it is those once in a blue moon type other than clubbing. Cos during clubbing, we din have much time to chat. It will be music, dance and drinks. Reminded me of the days when we were in poly and NS. We went to a couple of places. Boat Quay was the last stop.
We are sentimental pple. While walking down boat quay, it reminded us of the times we spent with many pple. I wonder how these pple are doing. We used to patronise the now dyfuction Coffee Club in boat quay. I used to go with him once a week, sometime only 2 of us, sometime with hao and gang. Later, fatty and gang plus zhi and gang tagged along. Those were the days.
I remembered after exams we will hit the streets of boat quay. Ken was telling me a couple of days ago was fatty birthday. Well, we used to celebrate her bday but now, no more. Time have changed and our life have moved on. In the past, we used to hang ard UOB building. After 911, the mgmt stepped up its security and we no longer have the chance to get into the building.
Before 911, our gang of lin, ewen, keith, hao and ying used to go to the 36th storey of UOB building. Over there, we get a good bird eye view of Singapore's night scene. Well, i wanted to enjoy daytime scenery too. So during my attachment with KPMG, i would always hang ard the building during lunch hour. Ha.. I would bring along my receiver, get myself a drink and chilled out at the lobby of 36th floor. How i miss those days.
Boat Quay has left many memories of our poly days. Ken and i took a rest at Coffee Bean too. It was patronised by us many years ago too. Surprising, it is still there with Da Wan Zhou next to it. Ken said life have changed but we are still attached to the old memories we had at Boat Quay. True enough, considering the tough times we went thru together in SP.
In poly, when every other students are bonding with their new friends, getting involved in relationship, we are always thinking of ways and actions to save our ass. No one knows wat is going to happen the next day. Today, Miss A is super friendly with you, tomolo she turns her back against u and give u a stab. We have encountered many of these incidents. Can you believe it, 17-18 year old kids doing these?
10 years have passed. Most of us are no longer in contact. Should we ever meet up one day, how would things be like? Zhi, dai huai, tax specialist, skull, black bird, curl, fei fei, luo, zai po, diao man, spirit chua, shen bian, marist, dior, fen fen zhong, meiying, david, melvin. I can never forget these pple cos they make me see how evil the real world can be. I should thank them for making me stronger.

Something's Wrong
Its public holiday eve. Brother John gave me a call to ask me out for drinks. Argh! I am already back home enjoying the comfort of my aircon. If he had called me earlier, i will go for sure. He invited me to Dempsey Road. OMG! I heard so much abt the place, a haven for fine dining and drinking. I dun care. I wanna go the next time!
Anyway, a good friend of mine told me something is very wrong today. I agree! I nearly lost my watch in the gym today. Freak out when i couldnt locate my watch. I search high and low but its not there. I tot someone might have picked up or probably stolen. Contacted the reception immediately. A personal trainer came and offered help.
Still no sign of the watch. I was so depressed at tat moment. I gave the receptionist my details in case they found the watch. While on the way home, the personal trainer called me. They found my watch in the towel drop. I cant believe it. I was using the towel to wipe my hair. Nothing came off. Seriously, i din know if i dropped the watch into the towel drop or someone took it and threw it there. I created a scene while looking for my watch. So tat might have attracted some attention. Fortunately, i managed to retrieve my watch. phew...
Then i had 2 cuts. One on my finger, the other at my back. Wa liao! Something is really wrong. I was out with dearie. Kept bumping into something. First was a knock on a glass wall. Freak me out again. It was a loud knock. The glass wall vibrated and i tot it cracked. Heng.... It din. hahah... Then kicked some stupid box. aiyoh.. The day has finally ended. It will be a great day tomolo!!!

Bitching and Surprises
Wat a day! Met Tan this evening for another round of bitchy session. whahha... I love to bitch. This is freaking funny. We gave each other little "surprises". Yes. The usual stuff. Seriously, i am surprised with his decision. Is that the Tan that i know??? hur hur. hahahha... Well, me too. I have changed my mind after that incident.
We went for a movie at Great World. I am so tired that i fell asleep in the cinema. ha.. Cant believe it. I think tat got to do with the rice. Know wat, i brought a packet of chicken rice into the cinema to eat. Haa.. Tan almost wanted me to stay away from him due to the pungent smell emitted from chicken rice. Well, i was too famished to wait till the show end. Anyway, this is not the first time i smuggled food into a cinema. whahhahaa.....
The bitching session continued after the movie. Aiyoh. It was a good one lar. Agree? whahah... We talked abt some of our ex colleague. OMG! Some pple are taking things into their own hands. I heard a storm is brewing over at the other side. Hmm... Will there be chaos or more trouble? Given some pple character, i think the storm might emerge into a cyclone!!!
I am worn out. The morning assignment was almost a terror. I wonder if fame will turn one ugly. I was taken aback by the attitude of the famous. Fortunately, some of my other colleagues made my day. hee... So it wasnt tat bad. I guess it is difficult to please pple. This is life. Yes. Once again. Shall catch some good sleep tonite. Another exciting day ahead!

Networking
Tiring Day. Met a couple of interesting pple at an event today. To my surprise, i met my NTU hallmate. ha. Wat a small world. Our hall former social sec is now in the police force. I know him for a couple of years and only found out today tha he is a scholar. Argh... I was joking to him he is earning good pay cos he is a civil servant. Haiz.. How i wish i was one too.... hahahah....
The luncheon was good. Serves great food with compliment from the organiser. Over lunch, i caught up with a few PRs. Hmm... Interesting. I think to be in this line, one needs to talk. And is really a lot! To put it in better terms, i would call it networking. Well, we never know one day we may need their help too. hahah.. Oh, i saw SR pple too. whahah... World is small.
Looking back, a quarter of 2007 is gone. Cant imagine. Time flies and we are moving into the second quarter of the year. I wish time would have been slower. Sometime, it really moves so fast that I have no time to reflect upon what happened lately. ha... Rushing and rushing. I think the upcoming trip will do me good. Slow down my pace and relax. Another 7 wks to go. erm... hahhaha.... Endure!

Fulfilling wkend! It started with the regulars at Dbl O. Yep, it was another nite of fun. Ooh... I had Bercardi 151, lychee martini, B52, Tequila shots. Most regulars turned up. We did the routine. Yep, that's wat David said. Dancing to our favourite tunes! Meeting them is always fun. Relaz.. Forget abt work, bitch abt everything.
On Sunday, it was a colleague wedding. Before attending the dinner, i was out with dearie. Woot! I enjoy the moment with her. Just me and her! It is like once in a while we meet on weekend. Fun fun fun.... The atmosphere was good. Oh yes, i bought a new watch too. Thanks to dearie card, i got a discount. I realli like lor.
The wedding was fun. Most colleagues came and our table is the noisiest! I was like cam whoring. Took so many pictures with my fellow colleagues.
