Happy Saturday

Home sweet home! Very tired after a nite of fun at Dbl O. So relax and carefree for that moment. Saw a few regulars. Getting to know them better now. Eric and gang were there again. To add on, Chin yin and gang were also there. Whoo hoo.... Really very fun.

I understand that it was chin yin who initiated the trip to Dbl O. IMPRESSIVE! I danced with Eric and my hall mates. Well, some were my juniors but din know them in school previously. They are very fun pple. Then Eric popped me a qn.

Eric: After seeing so many girls here, i still feel my gf is the best. Wat do you think?
Me: Definitely! None of them can even compare to her!
Eric: Steady ah bro....
Me: Ha... the girls here are Rubbish! (read: Suay Por)
Eric: ha.....

Actually, i feel that some of the girls here are like if u give them some sweeteners, they may follow u back. Ok, i am not trying to sound as if the girls there cheap. But i am sure there are a few out there who falls into this category. I am skeptical abt them.

However, i also understand that there are guys who also behave like hungry wolves. It seems tat they have not seen girls for a million of years. Desperate and ready to pounce at anyone. Hmm.... Here, i dun mean all. I mean some (at least i am not). whahaha...

Went shopping with jun. Have been scouting for a good credit card for a very long time. Ken told me to get UOB card if i intend to get one. So i waited for a roadshow before any application. And yes, UOB did held a road show. I applied for one immediately. Not too sure if i can get it. I hope i can. Once i receive the card, heheheh... welcome to the world of CREDIT! Shall wait....

"Summer" Rain

Rain rain rain! It has been pouring almost everyday over the last few days. Wet and cool, very suitable at night. During the day, it becomes a hazard. I am almost down to slippers. If not, my shoes will get very wet and that irritates me a lot!!! Besides, my feet cannot "tahan" dampness and is VERY prone to virus attack.

Went for tuition earlier. Poor kid was too tired to continue. Could not finish the topic but to adjorn till next lesson. I have been a student too. I can fully understand his plight, but no choice, i am paid to teach. Anyway, being a student is difficult than worker. hahaha... okie... i know pple will disagree. To me, i prefer work. I used to enjoy school life too but mentality changed after my days in university. whahhaa......

Have been reading my blogs lately. Some were pretty cool, while others are so-so. I know that my blog is BORING too! Well, it is just a way of expressing my thoughts at this particular moment. It is a personal record of my life. U may call it "zi lian", but i reviewed my blog ocassionally to see what i have done so far. I dunno who are reading (except a few) but if u REALLY find it boring then too bad lor.... I am not as fantastic like xiaxue, rockson.... :P

By the way, i received an email asking for resume. I was very surprised when i looked at the title of the mail. After going thru the content, u have guess it right. It's a FINANCIAL PLANNER position. *Faint! I tot opportunity is knocking on my door. But not this kind. There are so many vacancies for planner lor, always on the web and papers.

Though i want a greener pasture, it should be something better than this rite? K, i am not saying a financial planner is no good. Bascially, i dun like the job and see myself in that kind of environment. Sorry man! Por pi Por pi, i hope to see "greener" opportunities!

Northstar V

Caught the late bulletin just now to see how Ex Northstar V was being conducted. Generally, i am very impressed despite being a mock exercise. There were bombs that went off at the same time on different location. Our various agencies are quick to react. On tv, it looks dramatic as though some terrorist attack did take place.

However, i am more curious abt the evaluation of the exercise. I mean after all this is a mock up, in the event of a real attack, are Singaporeans ready? Well, the govt has always reminded us to stay vigilant. I strongly believe our agenices are ready at any point in time. The exercise serves as a test.

The scenario will be more chaotic than wat happened in the exercise today. There will be children, pregnant ladies, babies etc. Of course, no one can create an exact scenario. Singaporeans need to be alert and know wat to do. Some pple complain abt inconvenience. But i wonder if our life are more valuable than being late for work? I am sure companies will be kind enought to accept "can be excused" reason.

It has been raining the whole day. When i came back from Dbl O last nite, it was already drizzling. By early morning, the intensity just increased. Cool Sunday. Headed to the gym for some cardio exercises. Saw a male celeb with his "partners in crime". Haiz... I wonder if gals have lost their attractiveness or guys prefer to be hug by guys?

Wat in the world has come to? There are so many unanswered questions. I reminded myself to stay simple and keep out of others' affairs whenever possible. Well well... If there are experts who are able to provide SATISFYING solution, do let me know!

Already 1 Year

First day of work in 2006 after hibernating for a week! I would say it is a good start. Things were pretty smooth. I hope it will remain like this throughout the year. Well, 5 Jan also mark my first anniversary here. Fast rite?

It was raining this afternoon while i went to work. Dropped off at Bishan to withdraw money with the intention to take a cab. While going thru the ATM, i realised a certain amt of money went missing. I thought someone misused my card. Called up the bank quickly to check. Know wat, it was me who spent the money. Koo koo lar! Argh...

I wonder if i am old. Forget abt the transaction i had and almost blame on an innocent party. Shit. Ok, it's my fault. Thank the customer service officer for attending to a kan cheong spider. ha... So, the card is still SAFE!

Passed the day peacefully. 2 more days before another off day. whoo hoo... I am waiting....

Week Long Vacation over!

Wklong break is finally over. I will be back on work later. Coincidentally, 5 jan was my first day of work last year. That makes me one yr old over at my workplace. whahaha... Cant believe (again) that i manage to survive after a year. whaha....

Anyway, i just received an unwelcoming email tat spoilt my day. I shall not revealed the content. Just a bit disappointed. I tot i can do it. haiz... I guess i would have to work harder next time. Do my utmost best everytime. There is bound to be success one day. And i will perserve.

Back to my week long vacation. Din go overseas this time. Stayed at home or catch up with my old friends. Hao was kind enough to drive us out on monday. Had steamboat at Bugis but poor hao got fine for not putting enough parking coupons. We chat a lot abt his marriage, our work, our future and life. I hope this will compensate everything. hee...

Hao has been a very long friend of mine. Since our days from MJR, we were so close. I know his family very well. We used to hang out a lot during our teenage years. He is getting married soon! Wow! Time flies. We are getting old. Ken keep stressing we are in our late 20s. Do watever we need to do quickly before we grow older. Yes. I also keep reminding myself abt it.

It's late and i am sleeping soon. Hope to see my greener pasture in my dreams later. whahaha....

Nostalgic Night

Just got home from a gathering with NTU friends. Wow... Been a very very long time since i last met Edwyn. Ha... 3-4 mths? My roomie in uni days and we were very close that time. (now still) Used to bitch a lot abt our classmates, schoolmates and hallmates. Those were the days.

I still remember there was one year where we countdown at Gavin's hall. If i am not wrong, it should be in 2004. We countdown together with tv, play sparkles, drank and had so much fun. Seriously, if we have a gp of good friends, i dun mind counting down with them at a place. I will give up the usual party countdown.

Went Devil's again with them. They really play chinese music on Sunday. Cool! Saw Pat Mok and her friends. Well, i see her very often in Canteen too. whahaha... sometime in those unglam looks. Ed updated me abt his life. And i must say, i turned up this time cos of him. There were many occasion when i was too busy to meet him. Same reason, not excuse - WORK!

Before that, i attended ex-neighbour wedding. Held at M Hotel, the atmosphere and food were good. The bride is pretty in her gown. I guess most woman look the prettiest in their gowns. The groom is also well dressed. We had the usual toast, phototaking, talking and bitching. ha

When i was young, my sis and i used to play with the bride. Well, my mum was her bro nanny. Naturally, we got together and play. My cousin also joined in. We live at the same block in Kim Keat. We played catching, hide and seek. Was almost chased by our neighbours' dogs a few times. Running and shouting also made the residents angry. ha.... Those were the days.

A nite of old memories at the start of the year. Gan Chu Liang Shen! They relighted memories of good old days. For a while, i felt nostalgic. It's part of growing up. What happen today will end up becoming history and memory. I know. I will cherish every little moment now!

2006 Day 1

Happy New Year! Yes, the first day of 2006!!! Finally! It's almost 6am in the morning and i am not asleep yet. Just got back from the Countdown Party at Expo. While waiting for my hair to dry, decide to reflect on myself again. I know i have been under ton of stress last year, i hope to emerge even stronger from now on. Nothing can beat me since i have lots of support from family, friends and other half.

I am growing older. Inching closer to 30 as the minutes goes by. I told myself to do watever i like. Do not restrain as long as it is within my capacity. Of course not things that are immoral or illegal. ha... Cherish watever i have right now. Well, what i have today are not entirely by coincident. I worked for it. Everything is true and i dare to repeat it again! whahahaha....

Anyway the party at Expo was not bad. Fun and Stress Free. Had lots of fun and met many familiar faces. Saw Xueni n gang, Huimin n Meishan, Yanni, Derek. Most mambo regulars were there. Jun was also there with me. Fortunate right! At the first second of the new year, we were together. wha.... xing fu right? Hee....

Going to sleep very soon. Waiting for my hair to dry. Will be attending a wedding dinner tonight. My childhood friend cum neighbour. Look fwd to her wedding plus the FOOD. hee... Will see some of my Kim Keat friends and cousins. Another busy day!
