Went for the 3 Steps 1 Bow Ceremony last night at Khor Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery. We started queuing ard 11 plus and after a long wait of queuing its finally our turn to start ard 1 am. The whole ceremony took abt 2.5 hours and was really a tough road to go, considering my knees are quite weak, to kneel up and down is really a tough thing.

Requires a lot of determination, just felt like giving up half way, but after all its not a good thing since we are praying to Buddha and also there to cleanse and purify ourselves for all the wrong deeds we have done throughout. Thou i admit that half way thru i did have some bad thoughts but they are not done on purpose.

What is the 3 step 1 bow Ceremony all about?

On this occasion, devotees line up in a procession before sunrise to meditatively circumambulate around the inner perimeter of the temple- bowing once every three steps while chanting "Homage to the Original Teacher (The Historical Founder of Buddhism in our world) Shakyamuni Buddha."

(Na Mo Ben Shi Shi Jia Mou Ni Fo)
Upon every prostration, the Buddha can be visualised standing upon one's open palms which symbolise lotuses (that denote purity). Every prostration is thus paying respects to the Buddha or the countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of every direction. This practice helps to purify the mind, humble the ego, and lessen obstacles along the spiritual path as one repents past unwholesome deeds of body, speech and mind, and aspires towards spiritual improvement. It is also an occasion to express gratitude to the Buddha for His compassion.

Concentration and calmness can be achieved as one becomes constantly mindful of the processes of the body, speech and mind during the practice. Unanswered spiritual questions are sometimes answered as one enters deep concentration and realises the roots of the problems.

As the ceremony is lengthy (taking slightly more than two hours) and over undulating land of different surfaces, it reminds one of the long and difficult journey towards Enlightenment. However it also serves to remind us that as long as one has determination, all difficulties can be overcome. Perseverance in completing the journey despite its difficulties also strengthens one's faith in the Triple Gem to lead us towards Enlightenment.

The break of dawn at the end of the ceremony represents the light of wisdom dispelling the darkness of ignorance as one advances on the spiritual path towards Enlightenment. Participating in this special event, among others, on the holy Vesak Day is considered very meritorious. It is extremely difficult to describe the spiritual joy one feels upon completion of the ceremony, receiving the blessing of cool holy water being sprinkled upon the head by the Sangha. It is an experience that one has to go through to fully appreciate it!

Into this meaningful Hokkien song by Wang Shi Xian.

王識賢-堅強

作詞：陳偉強/高以德　作曲：陳偉強　
編曲：尤景仰
人生的路途　雖然有甜也有苦　
要堅強　打拼一切為理想
就算坎坷路　歡喜甘苦嘛要做　
為前途　失敗成功攏就要衝

不管阻礙有多大　猶原慢慢繼續走　
目屎就要擦乎乾　繼續認真來生活
雖然命運天注定　不過成功靠打拼　
總有一日　機會哪來　換我變主角
繼續堅強拼下去　男兒志在出頭天　
人生短短幾十年　不通白白來離開
失敗成功靠自己　只要還有一口氣　
相信總會有彼時　得到最後的勝利

Went Bugis with Celine, Diana & Bro today, stock up whatever's necessary " goods" needed. Not a bad combination thou. I believe all of us got a fair share of stuff and its worth the trip.

Have u all ever board or seen this cool bus? Well, i was taking the bus 156 home from tuition last wed, and this interior design of the bus really stunned me until i even thought that i took the wrong bus! Check this out!

This is a joint collaboration betn Nokia and SBS Transit to promote it's latest hp 5610 Express. Doesnt it resemble exactly like a bar? ya.. that's their motive! It has been along the roads for quite some time le, but i guess to catch the bus in person is damn hard. Think they release these buses only on non peak hours. Some other buses include 151 and 162 too. So you guys can try your luck!

2008-03-19T15:40:00.009+08:00

Early in the morn.. u must be thinking wad am I doing hanging ard with a bunch of retired " uncles" and " ah peks " gazing at birds that flew past.. Ya.. its 9+am and I am at Bugis Bencoolen street sitting at the wide space area outside OG. It was my sis supposed to have an interview der, so I hanged ard waiting and waiting and waiting.. 10.30am, no shops are OPEN! cant even shop ard!..

Hack care..so I took a stroll down to Si Ma Lu to pray at the temple..
& Guess Wad? Out of nowhere, this dashing fellow clad in black shirt and jeans, yet hidden behind a pair of blackie sunglasses just walked across my way. Wait a min? before I started cursing out, I was rooted to the ground already. He resembled 99.9% of UTT ( u know the MTV VJ ? )Is he the clone or wad?? on the account of the close resemblance, I just gave a light chuckle and headed towards my temple, thinking that makes my day brighter ahha..

Well, I just crossed my hands and prayed outside the temple for general matters.
My sis joined me after her interview and we went for lunch before stepping into Bugis Village ard 11+ to take a look.. This time, better liao, at least 10 shops are opened and we took our own sweet time to stroll.. Upon reaching the shop in front of the escalator area, out of nowhere AGAIN? this fellow, ya the same fellow whom i met earlier near the temple, walked across my pathway again!But this time he was without sunglasses woohoo..

I was thinking wad the hell? such a coincidence?! In fact he was walking out of Bugis area just now, how can he be here? Is this fate?? oh my.. haha.. forgot to mention, he is not a local, seems like a tourist. Well well.. I should have went in the temple make some generous donations and burn some more joss sticks.. who knows he might bump into me the 3rd time and ask for my number?? hahha...

Does this sounds like a drama? hee..

* Believer of Fate *

Been too tight up recently, as you know exam periods now, students are all requesting for 3x tuition a week. Rushing tutorials and 5 bdays next month cuz all happen to be in Nov. Racking my brain for gift ideas now

Ya and thats not all! Guess wad? The most "high' thing is that Rui's dad actually knew my dad! WOW! Super "high" sia.. Topic of the month for us haha!
K, how the story happened was that they were actually ex colleagues from Jack's Place back in the 90s, ya, best part was they rem each other by the surname ha..
At first when Rui told his dad abt it, the first thing he asked was:

* " Wad's your surname?"
" SIM " lor.
* " Orh.. is he the one who worked at West Coast b4? he's like the only SIM der!"
" Ya Ya "
* " Does ur dad look white white, erm abit round round one? "
" Ya! How u know ah? "
* " Was he the one who always drink beer with me after work? "
" ha..eh sounds familiar le ! "

Half way der- When Rui's dad saw my pic. Cuz i machiam photostated from my father.

So.. the next day when I showed my dad's photo to Rui's dad, u know? Its " Certified Stamped True Copy" . Until now, i still cannot imagine this is true cuz like drama two person reunited la.. after this incident, makes me kinda believe in fate.
Imagine in S'pore there are 3m ppl, out of these 3m ppl, how many are students? how many are from SIM? how many are in the same course same class with u? probability 1/1000?

I really cherished with wad i have now, and not harping on wad i have lost. I Dun wish to look back and drown myself in darkness. To those who have supported me in a way or so, and really give me soundable advice, i have appreciated it in silence. Once again. Thank you.

2007-10-07T21:43:00.000+08:00

Its been a long month, waiting for exams to be over has been such a tedious task.
When others is in the midst of exams, I have inevitably finished 4.. Mktg, Macro, Stats & Maths all over within that 4 consecutive days..
Its amazing, but sometimes as I ponder over how relieved I can be, I do envy those who still have a second chance to fight for it.
Well, good things first, the next bad thing is I still one more last paper which is on 25 May- CF. Must struggle more!!
To the rest who are still busy mugging, Dun Give up!

Met Mike on Monday, and he gave me a pen from " Gianfranco Ferre" as a gift out of the blues.
When I asked him what's the reason for it, given that my bday is not ard the corner, he said " so you can think of me whenever u are writing and even in your exams, then u can do even better." I really felt it very sweet, although I could have wished for a bear. haha.. but that's not realistic.. Its just the meaning that counts..
At first, I thought it was a pair of Sunglasses, cuz u know the case is really like a black specs casing.
But I might have disappointed him in this year's exam perhaps..* keep fingers crossed*

Andy Lau's star-struck fan tragedy

HONG KONG Mar. 29, 2007 - (Credits to chinadaily)

Leaving a twelve page letter to daughter's idol Andy Lau, Yang Qingji ended his 68 years long life in Hong Kong on March 26 after his daughter attends an activity with her idol Andy Lau.

Andy Lau with Yang Lijuan

Yang's daughter Yang Lijuan is a 28-year-old girl from northwestern China's Gansu province. After the first time she dreamed of Andy 13 years ago, she became a huge fan of him. Since then, she quitted school and spent all the time thinking of her idol. All she wants is to meet Andy Lau and tell him how she loves him.

To support daughter's dream, Yang Qingji and his wife spent up every penny of their savings. They sold the only house they had in Lanzhou City. Yang even decided to sell one of his kidneys to a local hospital, but he was refused because it's illegal. However, they never had chance to meet or talk to Andy. Several days ago, the family entered Hong Kong for the third time. With the help of Andy's fans club, Yang Lijuan finally had an opportunity to attend Andy's birthday activity with hundreds of his fans on March 25. To her disappointment, she only got few minutes to take picture with Andy instead of having a conversation with him. Her life long dream did not come true.

Being unacceptable to this result, Yang Qingji wrote a letter blaming Andy's coldness to his daughter and drowned himself in despair after daughter and wife fell in sleep. In his letter, he thought it was Andy's responsibility to arrange a private meet with his daughter, even for five minutes.

Yang Lijuan and her mother were in deep sorrow after Yang's death. Yang Lijuan showed her regret of loving Andy Lau for so many years to reporters. But she still insisted that Andy should meet her again, otherwise her father's death was meaningless. She took Andy as the root cause of her father's death. Although critics think the deficiency of courage to face the reality after fulfilling years' dream is the real reason of the tragedy.

Andy Lau responds through his agency on March 28 that he has fulfilled Miss Yang's hope of meeting on the birthday activity. Feeling astonished and disappointed, he hopes Miss Yang can go back to hometown and start her own life. He refuses to meet her any more.

Leaving father's dead body in Hong Kong, Yang Lijuan and her mother went back to Lanzhou on March 28 without making it clear what to do next.

(know this news came a little late some of u might have read it, anyway still not too late rite?..)
Can someone ask the girl to pls look at her own mirror for god's sake! Not fit to be a daughter of the father who almost sacrificed his own kidney!

Lyrics :

I've been living with a shadow over head
I've been sleeping with a cloud on my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I have in need of them again someday
I've been setting aside time to clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I wanna do is find the way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

I've been watching for the stars that used to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the sign
I know that it's out there
There gotta be something from my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some directions
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I wanna do is find the way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to you
I hope that you'll tell me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end (more) (less)

Wu Chun: Wo Jia You Ge Da Ming Xing

Ah ma's one year anniversary

2007-02-20T23:45:00.000+08:00

Today, is exactly one year after grandma left us... during the time of this year..
New year is nth great to be joyful abt.. ever since on the first day of new year, she brought us the surprise..
When everyone is there celebrating and glad to be reunited, she was der fighting a battle alone unknown to others, how bad can it seems. To me, there is forever this guilt and anguish in me that wont be erased as i had my faults. She never left happily, nor did she left peacefully. But i knew she did her best to survive her very last one month when the docs concluded that she couldnt. She had such a strong will to accompany her grandchildren on her last journey that she refused to go.

Last sun, i went to pray to her and wished her Happy New Year. I admit that when i saw her photo up there, my tears will drop immediately.
K.. to me the whole thing is not a story, its about a beautiful memory.
Chun said on his blog on sun:

It’s pointless to keep thinking of the sad memories. Let bygones be bygones… so STOP THINKING OF IT because it’s only you who choose whether you want a happy or sad life. I want you to be happy and I know you can achieve that!

I must agree w him to certain extent but not for this case.
Since I had never done my part for the past 21 years, all I had left is just this memory which i cant be deprived of. This will only add on to my guilt.

Chun's paradise!

2007-02-16T13:22:00.000+08:00

Chun blogged yesterday.. he's forever so sweet.. if u are feeling sad, down angry or frustrated, go read his blog u will feel so much betta... ; )

Some Farenheit and Wu Zun articles courtesy from Celine. Enjoy them! Thanks gal for contributing ur precious Dad to his wife~~~ oophs....

Here goes....

Farenheit at one of Bugis Junction's Pushcart

Farenheit and senior Tank at Taipei's autogragh session.

They also personally hand-made chocolates for their fans. Wow~~~

(Bet whoever gets that will safe keep for years and not munch it!)

--> Check this out! 14 Feb 07 article on ZBnow.

Title: Farenheit's Valentine Dreams.

This is about each of their individuals most memorable Valentine's day and gift. K, i will go straight to Wu Zun's one first.. cuz he's my first priority hahaha!

Wu Zun:

His idol was Micheal Jordan. His first and ex gf specially ordered a limited edition Micheal Jordan's jersey and gave it to him on V's day. It was gold in colour and cost about S$500 unlike normal jerseys. He kept it for 10 years and loved to wear it during basketball sessions as he would feel a surge of energy in him whenever he wore it. However after 5 years its colour started to fade and hence he had kept it in his wardrobe till now.As for the most romantic gift that he had ever gave to his gf, was his hand made Valentine's day card for his first gf. In it, he wrote all his feelings and attached a photo of themselves tog. Although it was not ex, it was the though that counts. After his first relationship, he had never hand made a card for anyone else as left for futher studies in Australia for a year.

Recalling himself, the most memorable V day was with his first gf, where tog w another couple friend of theirs, they booked a hotel suite room to celebrate that precious moment. He put in much efforts to decorate the room himself, personally cooked for her, listened to music and chatted thruout the nite..

To Chun, it was common for couples to fight and bicker but the most romantic and sweetest thing he had ever said was " Why do we have to quarrel? Why do we have to make ourselves unhappy? After fighting, we will still be together." And believe it or not, this phrase always work for him..

Wow.... so damn touching lor...

No wonder he kept e jersey till now...I have to believe he's a Chi Qing Han.

Wu Zun Modelling with his old clothes re-worn?

Personally, I felt the article to be quite lame. How medias and reporters can even dig out such a thing to create news? It's such a minor, senseless , and ridiculous issue!

Basically, it wrote about Chun wearing the same blue shirt that he had worn to Farenheit's launch of their first album last year. And it also stressed on the possibility that Wu Zun might leave the band since that he is modelling on his own now and taking up assignments on a personal level, and that he is always given the male lead as compared to the rest of the 3, leaving the rest envied.

This is Crap!.. just trying to create tension for them is it..they wont be easily disbanded la..

A "Young" Valentine's Day.

Wu Zun.

Likes to wear what he likes, esp clothes to his comfort so that he can express confidence naturally. If clothes are worn just to impress girls even thou its not comfortable at all, it might even bring about a negative effect.

Most fav: T Shirt and Jeans.

In the pic on the left, he is wearing a white shirt imprinted with an Eagle on the top and matched with a pair of brown pants.

Likes Gals with the same characteristic as him and able to spark chemistry. (oh.. he has to meet me one day.. oophs.. I've done it again...hee)

Designer's comment:

Confident, knows how to make do with something simple and present a postive image. Even a simple Eagle can attract much attention on him.

(Of course man.. he's Chun wad!)

Farenheit's Longevity..

This is about the interpretation of each album song that is linked to their personal lifes.. As it is quite long, i shall list out only some.

Song: Xia Xue
Qns: Company differentiates everyone of you into different seasons and temperatures. Yi Ru as Spring, Da Dong as Summer, Chun as Autumn and Ya Lun as Winter. Do you have any objections?

Chun: I Think I'm closer to Spring . When I first join the company, Im still not close to the rest of the colleagues hence i seldom spoke much. But now since Im quite warmed up to everyone, O feel that " Autumn" is now not that cooling after all..

Song: Only have feelings for you.
Qns: If two of you fell in love with the same girl at the same time, who will fight more with the other rival?

Chun: I think i will fight to the end with my rival, but eventually, i will still let the girl make her own choice as love cannot be forced.

Yi Ru: Wow!.. Sounds like an idol drama.. you shot too much idol dramas le...

Song: Yi ge ren liu lang.
Qns: Who's most afraid of loneliness?

All three: Yi Ru!.

Song: Zhao Xing fu gei ni.
Qns: Who is able to find the most happiness for the girl they like?

Chun: I feel that all of us are able to do so. Because if you really love the girl, you will expect your loved one to have the most and best happiness than anyone else.

Song: 30th Feb
Qns: This date doesnt exist in the calendar, but to you which date is the most important in your hearts?

Chun: I'm very old fashioned. I treat every single day as the end of the world. (Oh man, why are you so pessimistic?)

Song: Bu Si Zhi Mi
Qns: If to give all of you a secret to longevity, but only entitled to one person, who will you pick?

Chun: You all take it ba.. Dun give it to me. I dont want to see my loved ones leaving before me...
(wow..me too!)

More to come... too much to be posted... to be continued...
Nites and Happy New Year to everyone!

Early in the morn, even before i had begin to brush my teeth and wash my face, there was a knock on my door.

Feeling frustrated, i went and opened it and in front of me stood my aunt and my uncle. Then they said they came to pray to my granduncle.
My Aunt then asked how much did my sis get for her Os, i told her ok la..
then even w/o me asking she said her son got 10 points..

Following on she asked if my sch PJ is it good anot.. i replied her ok la.. then she said her son had decided to go to ACJC . I was like wad the...

2007-02-09T12:16:00.000+08:00

Ever Since i took up two new tuition assignments, kinda feel stressed out, as u know i hated giving tuition because u need patience and i do not have any. But i will never give tuition until i reach my last resort.. so u know this is my last resort..

Before this, is actually three assignments, and the third one is super underpaid. In the end my tolerance reached a level even before one month.. i havent started the third one and i gave up..
The first two is actually one gal twins and they have super busy schedule until they can have tuition only on tuesday. Wad the~...

The second two are 2 China kids who are superbly arrogrant, lazy and noisy monkeys. Their parents are overseas working and they send their children to study here.. but they are so filthy rich and yet stingy in tuition fees.. at age 8, they are even holding on to a 3G phone that is more expensive than me and keep on "Bragging" about how advanced the functions are and how rich their family is in China.. then after finishing they started to brag how good their chinese are and how they took half an hour to finish a 2 hr chinese exam..compared to their fellow Sporean's classmates. Bloody hell, look at their English themselves! Dun even know how to read "She" and '"He"!
Its really a challenge to teach this two brats.. I know this is a strong word.. but it Really does suit them trust me.. esp for me whom i dont take a liking to China ppl.

Till then, wish myself luck for exam and hope i dont die in thier hands!

Been going out every day, seems like a lot is happening at the same time..

Last Wed, when i opened my letter box, and to my astonishment i saw a red envelope!
It was an invitation to my sec sch friend's solemnization..
Ya... she is getting married..

Yesterday, went to watch the movie" Happy Birthday" in the morn. Really, its a real touching movie, original story written by Rene Liu herself. Most touching and romantic movie for the year! You guys should catch the show and watch the ending.. can make u drop tears!

http://www.happybirthdaymovie.hk/

Story Line:

It looks almost as an oath, Mimi (Rene Liu) would receive an e-mail from Nam (Louis Koo) every birthday. Nam is a man that she never forget. But the e-mail is delayed 42 hours this time.

Nam and Mimi were lovers when they were University mates. Mimi was afraid of losing Nam, therefore she suggested being ‘soul-mate’ with him instead. Eventually, they separated when Nam went abroad for studies.

Nam has got many girlfriends, but none of these relationships last long, because his heart is still with Mimi. Mimi’s heart is with Nam too, but she strongly believes that by not getting together us the only way to keep a romantic relationship forever.

One day, Nam told Mimi that he was getting married. From then on, Mimi would receive a birthday greeting from Nam every year. It was just like a clue to prove that love still exists between them.

Only Mimi’s friend knew that the greetings were not sent by Nam…

Afternoon we headed to IMM for Farenheit's autograph session at 6pm. Reached there abt one plus went for lunch and some touring ard before we found a spot on the third level for a better view.
Since this was our first time chasing such a young boyband that was fantasized by a huge crowd of young gals.. literally we take it for granted that we still had time to queue after catching a glimpse of the band's performance on stage..
By the time, they sang finish the queue was super duper long! (From the atrium- to along the shops-right down to the carpark- out to the open space of the carpark- to Espirit-then finally we reached the entrance of the mall!
The crowd was almost few thousands, more than expected! It took us 3 hours to queue after much hesistation since we already bought the CD (w a free poster! haha) It was almost 10pm when we decided to take a final look into the mall again to see the situation..goodness... there were still abt a thousand plus ppl inside screaming and protesting after they heard news that they might stop the autograph session there..
It was too long a queue.. think they will have to sign till midnight!

After celine and i made a rational choice, we decided to leave. Cuz we had given up 100%. After all we were not that die hard fans, we were just reluctant to give up like that after buying the cd and queuing so long. And i didnt get to shake Wu Zun's HAND!!! Argh!

Speaking of that it was really bad luck day! Maybe it's god's punishment to me for not studying and doing stupid things like chasing idol?!?!

1) I brought my Video Cam with it FULLY CHARGED 2 days back! Listen, it was FULLY CHARGED. And i forgot to switch it off after taking some pictures at the start. In the evening it was TOTALLY FLAT and cant be ON!!!! So frustrating!

2) Something personal happen to me la..

3) We wanted to buy Pokka Sweat can drink at the drinks machine. It costs $1.10. Celine contributed $1 and i contributed $0.10, mumbling " mind it get stuck" to her. Guess wad my mouth dunno suay or wad it really got stuck! Celine was already freaking out and i was slamming the machine like nobody's business!

Eventually, no videos, no pictures( i never brought my cam!), no SIGNATURES!!!

Conclusion: Do not chase idols unless u got loads of money and time!

These phrases are adapted from Angie's site, which i find them meaningful and logical..
Enjoy !

Love is not about possessing it.
If you love someone, you can use another way to love him/her and turn them into your eternal memory in your life.
If you really love someone, you must love them for who they are, for good or for bad, for their advantages and disadvantages.
You cant force them to become who you expect them to be just because you love them, if it turns out negative, you will not love them anymore.
Real love has no explanation.
You will know no matter where you are or when it is, no matter whether your mood is good or bad, you will naturally expect him/her to accompany you by your side silently.
Real love last thru time and expects no return.
It is about giving and committing
Among the vast island and thousands of souls,who have you met? Who has met you?

Marcus was there as well, but his parents didnt go much to my mum's dismay.. ya cuz my mum found her childhood friend which is also Marcus's mum (Justin's gd friend)

Jealous, my mum even personally hand made 2 slices of Taohu Goreng for Marcus, and even said " Come Marcus, this is for you." Hey, Im her daughter leh,shldnt she just ask me first??
Humans are always like that, when ur parents treat u nicely, u dun appreciate, only when they divert their attn to someone else only then u feel the importance and lost..

Hey wad the hell?? Few days nv blog then get bombarded by u le..

First of all, I wanna clarify, and this is specially dedicated to Ms Kwan which you have long awaited for. ; )

Its gd that I can see him and analyse him from head to toe wad my potential " Future son-in-law" looks like but tt doesnt mean anything. And pls tell ur China married colleague Jenny(I believe it was her that say I always look at Eddy k) that I'm not interested in his boy boy k..come on la.. cant stand her.. Admit it, she's just super jealous and possessive. Im angry w her now..hmph!.
To be frank, I'm not into China ppl...
Hey i not angry w u for this.. dun worry..

1st Impression of him:
Well Built w broad shoulders, voice that has broke hoarse and dont sound nice,
a bit of pervertishness as he keep looking at gals but still a little gentleman, attentive and sincere, but yet lack the charm for gals, pretty boyish looking w dimples( & a few lines of wrinkles?), determination-driven person willing to upgrade and work hard, seems to know a lot but dont know how to vocally express and present himself as i cant understand wad he is saying half of the time, likes the attention being surrounded w lots of gals, esp his chests?
If got second time to meet him then can give u better analogy. now i hope not to, i scared already.

2006-11-21T22:49:00.000+08:00

Argh! Lazy to blog.

Few Highlights of the thoughts storming thru my brain cells these weeks.

1) Why are human relationships so complex and hard to understand?

I always fail to understand.
Ppl ard me are always dissolved in some politics, face,relationships,hatred and ego. My mum, aunties, friends, colleagues, ex colleagues. Different stories everyday. Ppl are fake. And its true. Friendships, relationships, Kinships are so fragile.

Many friends may come in and out of ur life, but who will imprint a footprint hard enough in ur heart.

Ppl may not like me, true enough that's their business. I dont making a living out of them. Ya.. and maybe I'm not sociable enough? And rather shut myself out.

Like what Mike said was true of me, I am always complaining these and that.. I cant accept facts. I wanna change jobs everytime. And each time i will complain abt this job this and that nv ending.. Its reality every jobs has its disadvantages. Maybe i should stick to one.

2006-11-01T21:15:00.000+08:00

Im back after a week!..
Been busy working at york since fri nite to sun all the way full day... From breakfast to high tea to dinner... Can't get to see the sun for all day..
There's always a price to pay to get that salary for manual work.. a whole lot of body ache... Well, wait till i'm rich..haha..

Had aerobics on Mon, which i'm getting quite accustomed to the style..
Its non stop for 45 mins.. cuz according to the instructor.. for the first 20 mins it's burning of carbohydrates.. so if need to burn fats have to sustain at least after that 20mins else it will be fruitless..

Dunno what to blog also..
And my life is so messy now... sch and work.. all crammed esp this month...
sometimes when i wake up in the morn i still have to pause and think what am I supposed to do today?? Its that bad..
Overslept today woke up at 1230 and missed my morn marketing lec, then went for macro in the noon, but was late and I was afraid to step in alone LIKE THAT and getting that centre of attraction. Hence, I went for the afternoon marketing class then (w/o any mktg notes!) and hell, Patricia then said the lec will end at 2.30pm cuz she had something on!.
Not wanting to leave home like that, I went back into Macro after tea break..
Half Marketing-Half Macro-Dunno what Im doing!

Went down Orchard yest and der was this Warehouse sale at Takashimaya atrium comprising of many brands and goods were really cheap cuz of clearance of old stocks. From designer fragrances to sports brands like Nike ,Adidas, G2000, U2 , URS , Guess bags! and so on... but too bad tomo is the last day..

Bought a pair of shoes from URS cuz v hard to find any sizes left when it comes to sales...

2006-10-22T15:30:00.000+08:00

So many days non-blog.. also dunno where to start.. so many things to say but hard to write..
Lets just begin w the summary of each day..

Sat- 14th:

Went to work at York from 7am to 11pm... earned $88 bucks haha...tiring manual work..
That night when i boarded the bus 190 home after work and got myself injured. Initially it was so pain till my eyes couldnt open i thought by washing it and after a night's sleep it will be better.. yet i keep on tossing ard the whole nite in pain and dragged till Sun Nite and got finally decided to go down nuh A & Earound midnight to check..Waited for 3 hours before i got to see n eye specialist.. I decided to drop the matter, thou some of them told me to sue the co. Suffered 3 days of pain cant read cant watch tv everything have to see by one eye.. cant even study for test.. so forget it.. I thought no point to fight w a big Giant..but then decided lodge a complaint and sent an email to SMRT corp.. Here's how it goes:

To Person in Charge,

I was boarding the bus 190 after work from the bus stop opposite FarEast Plaza at around 11.30pm. The bus was crowded on a Sat night and thebus driver was driving quite recklessly when i boarded it. Obviously at that time there were no space when me and 3 of my friends moved to the rear of the bus.. We were all hanging on to the pillars and seats with
both our hands but still now and then we almost tripped and were swaying helplessly around, reason due to the sudden brakes plus twists and turns around the corners. In a split second, my friends all banged into me, and as I was a spectacles wearer, the glasses knock into my cornea, causing me to be injured in the eye. I couldnt see for that instant and my vision was blurred. The next day I went to NUH for a check, and the eye specialist told me i got quite a deep cut in the top right cornea. Luckily i was not blinded. What I am trying to stress here is the main safety of all the hundreds of passengers in the bus. I'm not pursuing the matter now cause I'm slowly recovering, but in future days I might have fear in riding the same bus again. Perhaps you all should educate your bus drivers to drive more carefully and not as if there are rushing for time, although I understand bus drivers have their time constraint to reach designated bus stops.

Here's wad they reply:

Fri -20th

Went for checkup at NUH Eye Clinic abt 2 pm.. and as usual.. have to wait..
Like wad my dad always says" Tua Bai"

- First waited half an hour to enter a room to input eye pressure into the eye...
-Then waited half an hour to enter the Refractions room to test my eyesight.. and this was quite amusing.. The optician covered my right eye, and asked me to read.. I stared at the image five feets away and kept silence.. then she replied: " Cant see ah".. then i smiled "yes"
She then changed to a thicker lenses and asked the same qns... then i said" hm.."... she replied:" Cant see ah".. then i smiled "yes".. she said ok.. then changed to another more thicker lenses... but this time round i dun dare to say i cant see...

She asked" Now read to me all the words there, wad can you see?"
I very ego.. dun felt like throwing face.. then anyhow mumbled out all e alphabets that i see from the blurred images.. she then replied: " Cant see ah?"... I smiled again shyly" ya, abit.."

This happened for five to six times...
Then it changed to my left eye.. and to my horror.. when she asked me to read out from the screen again.. i realised all the alphabets i read earlier was 90% wrong...
I told the optician.." huh.. you mean just now all my ans was wrong?"
Then she smiled at me...

Craps.. then she applied two stinky eye drops on me to check on my back of the eye and asked me to wait for the doc outside... SO..... I waited and waited and waited.... and even watched finish the CNA documentary " Every Dog has its Life" from 3 - 4 pm... hai..humans cant compare to dogs... by 4.30pm i finally went in to see the doc and she told me i recovered very fast, applied two eye drops on me AGAIN and asked me to come back for follow up next week..

2006-10-04T11:00:00.000+08:00

Here I am...with a bunch of RMIT students in the SIM computer lab... at 11am...
Blogging..and surfing net instead of studying...

What I am doing here? ya...cuz i was shut out from mktg lecture...
This morn was a crash lecture for mktg.. was crossing my fingers to hope no spot check today...
but holy shit.. I saw the admin woman in betn two stacks of lecture notes outside LT1.03 again..
Hai.. gotta find a way to get my notes already.. maybe have to be thick skinned and approach my prog officer for notes..

Now waiting for Macro Seet lect in the noon...
Im gonna rot here...

Yesterday, went for the preview movie for "You, me and Dupree" with my Sis.. Its a Love - Comedy movie actually.. Showing Dupree the guy entering the life of a newly wed couple and creating nonsensical and hilarious acts in betn.. A show still worth watchin..( 3 *** out of 5)

After e show, Justin (my sis's bf) came and fetch us then we headed to Newton for supper..
It was newly renovated, very clean, but food stalls still remain, and food became more ex but not very nice to eat.. And it was only yest that i know my name became " Ah 2" stored on his hp.. (cuz im the second child u see).. and i dun wanna be "Ah du's sister"!

2006-10-01T15:01:00.000+08:00

Fri: Worked with Sharon alone in the morn, chris then came in at 2pm. Unknowingly we were dragged to lunch with Kim. It all started when we do not have the lunch schedule, so i approached Kim and asked her for the time slot, she then asked what time we want to eat, i told her anything since she's the leader she can decide. Then she replied: "ok lor, you eat with me lor, anyway i'm eating alone". Sharon and i were stunned, we pretended we nv hear and treat it as a joke, who knows when it comes to lunch, Kim went over and asked us if we were ready to go?? And her " Alone" means > Alex(her bf) & Alvin?

Omg.. so awkward..
We went to KFC for lunch and overall the lunch still turn out well.. talking abt Sharon's plan after she left..abt SIM the sch life, and the lecturer Seet Min Kok.. who is apparently still der teaching.. was very touched that Alex started to peel off the chilli sauce for me and sharon, guess he's the second guy who offered to peel off chilli sauce for me after Mike. so sweet!!..

Sat : Sharon's last day.. and the last day all four of us work tog... haiz...

Sun : Changed Celine's blog for her.. hope she will like it..
Went down Lot One bought the Nokia 6280 phone for Mike today, it was the last day of promotion at $98 nett, so cheap that cant miss this offer! Was supposed to go down with him today to buy, but he was too tired after working till early this morn so i let him sleep. So I went down alone to buy. Initially wanted to give him a surprise but cant help it that i called him immediately after i bought it to break the news.
Actually the rate was supposed to be for e new line. I was stuck in a dilemma betn 2 choices.

1)To upgrade my existing line (that my sis is using) at $168
2) To get another second line at $98

Either way is also a disadvantage, hence i finally decided to get the new line. Now i have 2 lines to use for the next 2 months, when my contract is up i will terminate the old one.

Best part is I get to flash and utilise my capitalcard for the first time!! Haha.. and i earned 22 Capital Dollars easily.. Now i finally know how they calculate it..

You have to bring the receipt down to the customer service counter to redeem the Capital Vouchers.

Every $30 spent= 2 Capital Dollars earned (w/o the card)
Every $30 spent using the Capitalcard= 6 Capital Dollars earned.
Every time you flash the Capitalcard= You get 10 Capital Dollars just like that!

Total earned=22 Dollars! (tada!)
And i am gonna exchange for the DBS bear soon...

For more details: visit www.capitacard.com.sg to know more.

Thats all folks!!!!

2006-09-28T22:02:00.000+08:00

Today had a full Sch day lesson from 9am all the way to 5pm... lectures and tutorials thruout..Morn had CF, followed by Killer Seet- Macro Lesson in the noon.. All in all, it was a harsh day.
First time had an experience attending his lesson for 3.5 hrs straight.. bearing in mind had to endure his cold lame jokes, senseless examples, and his temper for those Clanging the Door...
"Last Chance".

Evening, My aunt dropped by to pass us one big box of mooncakes.
A sarcastic nosey parker. Hate her to the core.

Asked: " So Hows your result?"
Pretended nv hear..
Then my mum said: "Hey, auntie is talking to you leh, did u hear?"
"Ya"
Before i had chance to reply her..she started boasting her daughter.. got job in "clay" bank.
I replied" Barclays'" rite..
" Oh, thats good. Wad is she working as?"
"Dunno la, in the "Clay" bank thats all.
(So dumb, wanna boast but dunno wad to boast)(Anyway her daughter, aka my cousin only got third class honours at SIM-UOL, paid only $1.8K. Chey)

And then she started talking abt her son who grad not long ago from Aus and clinched a $3k job...

2006-09-24T15:42:00.000+08:00

Fri, went for Spa and facial treatment at ISOS Spa just above CityLink since almost a year since i went for that.. oophs.. (Ya Credit Suisse is located there, hopefully can get in der after i grad..wait long long rite...)
Anyway they had this one for one special at $98 for Acne Clear Face Treatment so my sis asked me along..
Had a bad time when the gal squeezed out my blackheads..
Then followed by face and shoulder massage which was so SHUANG! Esp after a hard day's work, i deserved it anyway..geez...
After that, we headed for Thai Express for dinner at Citylink, i ate Green Mutton Curry Rice and my sis ate Pineapple Rice, not as marvellous as it seems to be, so small a portion just like Lemon Thai Grass Restaurant-which my Dad's Friend set up-> and my dad doesnt seem to like him i think.. so guess better not to eat there anymore.. stuff money into his friend's pocket for wad.

Sat went work bit earlier to clear my saikang.. working alone so kept myself busy as much as poss and stuff the earpiece to my radio to shut everything off..
Why cant they hire more staffs to work on weekend and let so many ppl rest for wad? Its always abt ten ppl or less working every weekend and i have been apologizing to all those custs as if I'm a robot.. " Ya so sorry for the inconvenience mdm...sir... let me explain...."
BullShit! &#^*%#*&%# Stingy Place.

Cant stand it when i see the acclaimed to be the most charismatic SNAG--- > Dennis Ang(Aka the AVP/Team Leader of call centre) walking ard like an irritating bee.
Decorating the hopeless and lifeless office with Lanterns?? Sissy old Gay.

And the 3 most things that he did to disgust me:

1) I was sitting at Belle's Seat just behind Chin Heng. He came and sat at Sarah's Seat just beside me and teach her some new programs. He doesnt like the fan to blow directly at him(presume his hair was too nicely gelled to be blown away) so he shifted the fan to the right to blow directly at my direction, that pissed me off immediately. Make my hair fly all over the place like a mad woman.

2) I was printing something to the printer near the door. Mr Ang walked past towards the door and he presumed that i purposely walked over to bump into him. And he tried to squeezed out a faint and fake smile. I got the choice i rather walk over your dead body.

3) He was about to leave the office for home when he walked past my seat(again), just happen i looked up while talking on the phone, he thought i PURPOSELY peep at him man! Again the faint and fake smile appeared.
Aiya the smile cant hide from ppl one.. obviously u think ppl think u are very shuai... but i think its " shuai " (third sound) more like it.

How i wish one day someone will slap him up from his dreams.

This is life!

2006-09-17T01:10:00.000+08:00

The Choice is Yours

2006-09-10T16:43:00.000+08:00

Extract From ST- 09 Sep 06

Do not leave life to fate simply cuz you are afraid to make the wrong decision.

Life is simply a sum total of the choices you have made. Someone said: You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you will have, be and do in the tommorrow of your life.

Choice of career, spouse, investment, and the list goes on...

Is it by Instinct or Gut Feeling or do you actually analyse the important decisions of your life. Or do you get so paralysed by the fear of making the wrong decision that you simply abdicate from any responsibilty and just leave it to fate?

Were we taught to make choices in school? Or were we taught the safe route, to life with compromise, as you would have plenty of that? For those looking for a job, or perhaps at a crossroads as to which direction to take, here are some thoughts on what not to do when making choices:

Do not attempt to weigh all options.
Do not make a "pros" and "cons" list for each option and then set about analysing what is the best thing to do. In the end, you will end up more confused then where you started off!

Do not think of all the things you do not want.
When thinking about what career to go into for example, do not waste time thinking what you do not want to be doing. Instead, focus on what you want to do and what job is ideal for you. As the saying goes: " what you focus on will expand" So, do not focus on solving problems.

Focus on what you want.
Instead, use a creative approach-think about what you want in life and focus on that how to create it.

Make Primary choices.
These are choice you make to get major results. Eg: I choose to be financially free in five years time.

Make Secondary choices.
These are choices that helps you take a step towards your primary choices. It can be a choice to be financially free to build a second source of income or set aside money for investment.

Schools do not teach you how to make choices in life, but it is a skill that can be learnt and once mastered, can help you live the life of your dreams.

Last outing...

2006-09-10T16:19:00.000+08:00

Went for Ktv with Sharon, Fion, Shirui,Thomas and Liling yesterday at kbox paradiz.
Had a fun time with them esp Liling who was exceptionally High~~ taking over Chris's place.. she brought out the spirit!...

About seven pm we headed to dinner at Lemon Grass Thai Restaurant for dinner.. and we were made to wait for one hour due to e peak period! And during this one hour we were busy walking ard heeren taking shoots at every particular angle available till we realised our stomachs were growling then we headed back to the restaurant to check if it is our turn to go in... Surprisingly we bumped into Serene and Youwei halfway thru the meal!

We then proceeded to Starbucks to catch up on good times chit chat.. gossip...whatever things girls usually can bitch abt..and i did have a hearty time out last night... will really miss the past 3 months we had survived thru and all the fun we had thou some are still staying but not for long...

Still having mixed feelings to leave or not.. like what chris said was true.. better to find ano way out before leaving so income will still be consistent... ya.. cant imagine days w/o "M"... Better buck up and hope lady luck shines on me! Give me a better Job!

As u can see.. from the above..my words are getting shorter..cuz i am lazy to type and upload all my photos since the genting trip back then...

And my family is finally back frm Beijing last fri! No more babysitting yeah! ;)

Where's my Mars???

2006-09-03T22:34:00.000+08:00

Yup... me now chasing the taiwan drama " Mars" by Vic and Barbie Hsu... thou its like donkey years ago.. i am chasing it now.. abit outdated i know... but somehow fell in love in this show.. esp Vic in this show..

Last time didnt think gd of me but this time rd he did make me have second thoughts thou..
Dunno at this speed of watching..wad time will i finish the whole series... everyday come back after work only catch one hour then have to go slp ler.... sianz...

Today was another sucky day cuz its a Sunday! Ppl usually dont go out on a sunday.. you know wad they will do? They will call to cust serv and chit chat with them and they dun mind waiting half an hr jus to ask stupid qns only then to scold us for making them wait so long. Stupid!
Think wad? Ppl avail to wrk on sunday meh? No brains!

Abit lonely cuz im the only part timer left today... Serene went to see dentist, Liling took " MC"... so left me... hai ... to indulge in the pool of calls... Today was a terrible and shitty day cuz call queues were jammed and i wonder why der is only 7 ppl wrking today?? And all those calls are so senseless and troublesome.. i managed to clear my ot withing 1 1/2 hrs before i sped out of office.

I nearly screamed at someone today.. She claimed her son bought a plane ticket in JUNE but nv went overseas, nw she wants to claim back the tic price, airport tax,insurance and those surcharge when she have already paid them in JUNE! Stupid. She claimed this is her right to claim back since her son did nt utilise it. Who cares? I told her to call back Qantas not us to refund her the amt. If Qantas is willing to refund her then case closed. She insisted to pushing back to us when she said the money was paid to us.. *$#&@*^&$^*# . She wanna go Courts thinking she so clever.. SEE WHO WIN.

Hello Auntie? If you take a taxi from Pasir Ris to CCK then u realise you nv bring your wallet, are you going to ask the taxi driver to drive u back to Pasir Ris to the same old spot u flag the cab so that he wont charge you?

Graduation Day

2006-09-01T21:01:00.000+08:00

Today is my sis's Graduation day.. went back to SIM-RMIT to witness her conferrment and award ceremony at ard 2pm.

So many tons of graduates with their family members and most importantly is the FOOD at the atrium. I was eyeing for that even before the ceremony started.

I attended the ceremony in the Grand Hall after waiting for Justin to arrive. As usual, his laid back reaction makes me think that the whole function is not a big deal for him. We then found a central seat in the middle of the hall but its still quite far.. and both of us nearly fell asleep during the presentation of the cert. There were almost 500 of them!

I asked J "are you sleeping?" he only managed a tiny smile. He then commented that SIM v cheapskate.. Exam in Grand Hall, Graduation in Grand Hall, Performance also in the Grand Hall, then the chairs also exam chairs, which at tt pt of time, i find it quite amusing.. i cant disagree for this too.

But luckily my sis did quite well, she got a Distinction in Bsc of Business. Well... 2 yrs later... dunno whether will it be my turn... ???

10 Reasons Why Call Centre Work is Detested?

2006-08-30T14:11:00.000+08:00

1) You call in to ask things that you already knew? Why do you keep talking and blabbering non stop w/o letting us explain? Save our time for God's Sake. Dun pretend to know everything and how well you know the system works when you dont!

2) Dun think you are filthy rich juz cuz u hold a shiny magnetic stripped card, so what u earn so much a mth, does tt give u that right to insult and boast us ard to do things for u?

3) If you owe money to a company, stop thinking in a cust's shoe, excuse me? You are now a Debtor!

4) If someone go all the extend to provide personalised cust serv for you, dun say " thank you for all the help but i dun think that is enough" !

5) Dun call in to trash your anger on someone you dont know who wont relent, just cuz u have a bad day, menopause or scolding by your god damn boss.

6) Dun call in to fuss about a few dollars ok? U got a card but no money to pay that few $$, come on, you want me to pay for u or not? stingy fellow.

7) Dun call in to say why we overcharged you this month k. Why is there Late Charges and Interest? Why u all so blood suckers daylight robbery? -> Cuz u are getting old and forget to pay. Everywhere is charging the same rate else how do companies survive? Are you living in the mountain era??

8) Dun start your old grandma story... how long you have been our cust, how loyalty you are, how we should give u more benefits and charge u less.. elsewhere are giving you all this but not here... -> Yar, cuz you have been going ard begging them doing the same thing. So much so for being a loyalty dog rite..

9) Dun ask for irrealistic things. You spend few thousands and you pay $100. And you want me to waive off the charges for you? Over my dead body!

10) Dun talk in a glibberish language where no one can understand. If ur mandarin or eng is so bad, pls go brush up before u talk to us. Dun talk and talk waste our saliva explaining to you, then you say " Do you understand what i am talking anot??" Of cuz not lar !

Help! I Lost my voice!

2006-08-13T09:58:00.000+08:00

As some of you may already know, ya i lost my voice on Sat which was yest, and i cant go to work due to this stupid reason. Today i managed to recover half of my voice but it still sounded like a man's voice and sometimes willl go out of tune.

Hai but still i will go to work today cuz no work no $$$ <------- VERY IMPORTANT!
Just a little bit of struggling tts all..

P.S: Thanks Celine for delivering Liang Cha to my house.. it helps too.. ; )

Anyway Fri i bought a new phone finally! might sound old to you guys cuz its a Motorola V3 only..not a 3G phone anyway. Mike bought it for me. Actually der was this Sony Ericsson K600i which was slick and light, looks very nice at $98 bucks but have to sign up end plan hence gave up the idea..

On a personal level, i still prefer 2G phones and a normal one with several functions will do, it doesnt have to be a very nice or high tech phone, as long it can make calls ya!

IF...and IF Only they were MINE..

Mariah Carey's Dressing Room

Milubing Cheers!

2006-08-07T21:09:00.000+08:00

Was quite busy the past few weeks, esp at job.. reason due to being posted to the main line last week it was the start of my terror..
First week was actually very traumatic, was nearly on the verge of breakdown but luckily didnt.
2 months and i have promoted to become the nastiest and grumpiest old lady in UOB.
Cant imagine myself screaming and cursing at the cust in the middle of a call!
And when i started singing oldies on a bright sunny morn, Min Hong will turn ard saying:
"Shannon i can see the symptoms coming up." Just hope the rest of the month i can cut down on my OT and take things easy.

On the other hand, im really glad and relieved that MILUBING won the superband Title last sat! Cheers to the man of fire!

Here are some shots of them just in case u guys didnt chase SUperband?!

LUCIFY is another Strong competitor which i quite admire. They r the extreme Spore version of " X-Japan" which i find S'pore is lacking of these genres of artists nowadays. Hoping they can bring some life to the entertainment industry here.. Just too sad that not many ppl can adapt to their music styles and outlooks..

2006-07-13T00:02:00.000+08:00

Seriously i might think after my bday im getting old.. Alot of things tend to slip off my mind, even those that happen a spilt second ago.
Monday i forgot my Windows password after i changed to a new one. In the end i disabled my own account. I had to call IT to reset more than thrice till she screamed at me only then i realised its more than ten times.
In the end i admitted to her that sorry maybe i have forgotten my password only then did she ask me to fax to her so she can reset for me.

Dear daughter,
FYI, i did something more worse than u today. I came out of the shower , watched Spore Idol, played my pc, read newspaper , until two hours later when i was in front of the tv again did i realised my hair was super oily. I didnt wash off my conditioner dahz...
Dun laugh when u read this... but anyway go ahead if u cant control ;p

And today i forgot my own blog name, and sharon had to name it out for me.. oophs.

Anywayz daughter .. i already flipped and did my hw tonite... filtered out few agencies that we can go to... so looking forward to the Cameron trip next month then!

Mike went for dressing and check up at the hospital today and he got another 5 days MC by the doc. Its abt a month of resting total added up.. Really hope there is a miracle for his leg otherwise im really lost in what to do...

To Angeline: Dun give up hope no matter where u go.. i believe just leave things to fate rather than rushing things to come.. the outcome will turn out better.. Really looking forward to 3 of us at the buffet!

My post Bday celebrations!

2006-07-08T13:51:00.000+08:00

Suddenly for this yr..i felt very blessed for my bday.... which falls on the 3rd of july..

First came Celine... my gf.. who advanced celebrated for me at Budak Pantai's concert last friday and made a dedication to me... which came unexpectedly for me.. & she offered to treat me to NYDC woa..... for my orea cheesey cake.... *slurp* Thanks * daughter*!

On the actual day itself, my colleagues celebrated for me! Which actually Fion leaked out and somehow everyone knew... cuz thru friendster reminder... *so u guys u know wad to do... winks*
During lunch, they treated me to Swensens and i got a Free FireHouse Bday ice cream cuz its my bday! heez..
They bought a Tiramisu cake at the last min after work and celebrated for me tog with the rest of my team.. not forgetting my leader who joined in as well to sabo me... haha...
But thou its just a mini celebration, i still appreciated it v much..
After work, went to meet up w Mike, who again bought me one big cake... You know.. those thick chocalate fudge cakes with red wine and biscuit in beneath... my heart melted jsut like the cake...
And after eating that... i felt bit dizzy already... haha...

Today Nite.., met up with my ex colleagues and went down to Party World Orchard for ktv, my *boss* Xuehua, remembered my bday... she bought me a tradional chain that can be used as a belt or necklace which i think is very unique.. Initially she wanted to buy me a necklace at first then realised i seldom wear then thought of earrings and worst realised that i do not have ear holes..haha... i guess whoever buying me a gift is a v tough work eh... Then at ktv, one of my colleague, Adeline bought me a box of tea-biscuits from a classy store at esplanade and a Mickey Mouse pencil specially from HK DisneyLand...

Seriously i felt so blessed after so many yrs of celebration... ha... and for once i felt like a small kid.... craving for showers of love and blessings.!!

Father's Day

2006-06-18T14:38:00.000+08:00

Yest went work on a Sat Mornz.. Left at 1230pm then headed for JB with my family.
Went to Jusco at Taman Desa Tebrau ( a newly opened shopping centre almost similar to Suntec ). THey have shops almost similar to S'pore eg G2000, Roxy, Breadtalk, Espirit, Mango, Starbucks etc.

Luckily we travelled by car else the journey is super long!. I bought one Marie Claire heeled shoes for RM$49.99 initially and its has 50% discount, equivalent to Sing$12. Actually the cashier counted wrongly was supposed to be 30% only. Thinking of it. luckily i didnt bought my shoes in Spore too early else such good bargain will have slipped by.heez..

Shoes there are really affordable, trendy and nice looking, which i think they won those designs of S'pore. Heeled shoes ranging from RM$30+ to RM$70 plus.. I doubt in Spore we can find such nice shoes as low as $20!

After Jusco, went to eat at a chinese restaurant to celebrate father's day.. hee Father's Day = Father's Pay... *oophs*
Then wanted to catch a movie inside but unfortuantely " Superman" was not available yet, so too bad. Anyway watching movie der has become more expensive now increased to RM$10 but still relatively cheaper to SPore la...

Overall, was a pleasant day. Enjoyed myself! heez...

Interview Shock!

2006-05-30T13:26:00.000+08:00

Went for several interviews past few days... first was Popular, second was today at my disgusted Recruit Express at Shenton Way.

Got a shock while i was filling up four pages of sickening forms at the front counter. Those consultants were talking and laughing so loudly like nobody's business.. and suddenly one received a phone call, hung up after 5 mins and turned ard to her colleague beside her.

Here's how the conversation goes..

Idiot 1: " Hey ! They want an admin asst. No Malays No Indians! Only Chinese!... (Laughing again) Do those very basic basic job one."
Idiot 2: " U mean basic duties, no need experience one huh?"
Idoit 1: " Yar lor! Those v stupid stupid one also can do one"

(Laughter continues again..)

Is that professionalism?

Frankly I am terribly disgusted. I never paid any full attention in talking to them. Cuz later i will spend money buying drinks for myself!
And finally after my interview, the person nv bothered to shake hands with me as a form of courtesy! That includes before the interview as well!
Come on, who does a person like her who earns peanuts think she is?

Wait till she earns 5 Doughnuts then come talk to me la!

GSS !
Hey Guys "Heatwave" has real bargains. Now for 3 pairs of shoes at $19.90 and above, u get $10 discount! I bought one pair ler. If u guys wanna buy count me in k, then we can make up three pairs for the discount haha! ;)

Sick SIck

2006-05-10T15:29:00.000+08:00

Was very sick past few days... since last fri... after working for two days straight...

Mon i caught the bug the idiotic Fever bug! and not only tt it came the night before my Accounts paper! Cant imagine that! Temp hit over 38^C just like a volcano..Feel like going in A&E immediately then..

3rd May- Today is my Mike's birthday! here i wanna say Happy Birthday to my Dear!

MI-III Launches today, well i already bought the tics to the show at 6.15pm later.. Thumps up to Tom Cruise and my dear!

Before the show, we managed to catch a quick shot on a photocard. Sounds like those olden days playing with the senseless jap machine. But eventually the photo still turned out nice! As u can see from the date... apparently u will know why, cause we dun understand jap words! Thought it was for two seperate cards so i wanted to key in today's significant date for a change... hell...it was for name-name ;^)

MI-III was nice show..very thrilling right the start.. well i guess that was the catch of the movie right.. Anyway Tom Cruise (the guy who shared the same bdae as me haha 3rd July) nv lost his charm dun worry...

After the show, bought a small chocolate shooter (a small cup just like a scouffle) for Mike although i insist buying a 1.5kg one but he dun one... Took a shot of it but still in my phone havent download it yet hee...

So thats all for the day!

The Waste in Worry

2006-04-22T18:58:00.000+08:00

The Waste In Worry
By Brad Stevens

If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time , we would discover that the great majority of the problems were not worth worrying. We would discover that most of the time which we devote to worrying(even the constructive kind that prompts us to try to come up with a soultion to what is troubling us) is wasted. Thus, not only do we cause ourselves unnecessary mental anguish, but we also waste valuable mins and hrs that could have been spend elsewhere.

Here's a short story on Worry:

Once, shortly before a major concert , a member of Arturo Toscanini's orchestra approached the great Italian conductor with an expression of sheer terror on his face.

" Maestro", the musician fretted, " my instrument is not working properly, i cannot reach the note of E - Flat. What should i do? We are beginning in a few moments."

Toscanini looked at the man with utter amazement. Then he smiled kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders.

" My friend," the maestro replied, " Do not worry about it. The note E-Flat does not appear anywhere in the music that you will be playing this evening."

The next time we find ourselves in the middle of worrying about some matter, we might be wise to stop and ask ourselves whether we should be doing something more productive and meaningful; we may be able to go on to something more constructive.

Downgrading phones.

2004-07-15T23:25:00.000+08:00

Man change phone either by buying or upgrading... how come when i change a phone neither do i have to buy or upgrade... instead to downgrade??? within a month ... my Nokia 8850 my fav..changed to 8250..nw to Ecrisson T160...how come everyone like to change phone with me... i'm not a second hand shop... hai...

My uncle called, out of a sudden, realised he changed a lot, hear thru his tone. ask me wad i was doing currently. y nv go and apply. wads' the outcome. i told him abt my job. ever since he gt a gf, he changed, maybe more daring, more to his gf's side. dun blame him after all he finally found his love. first thing just felt he had a motive for calling but nt straight to his point. he just wan to swap phone for temp use w my aunt. thou i dun wish to but agreed to help him out since he's my uncle. he's a nice fellow.

Felt kinda inferior when i spoke to him. sensed that he was not really sincere abt my affairs. thou he still asked abt me once in a blue moon. inferior maybe.. used to it.. diff family background..is always like tt. just fight for ur dreams and show to them

New job yumyum.....

2004-07-14T23:41:00.000+08:00

Yupz... its a week plus since i left hsbc... glad i didnt hold back in staying... just landed another job at a subsidary firm of Spore Technologies as Accounts Asst..

Know the name may sound nice at first hear.. but it involves basically only 'kuching kurak' work... Went for interview today early in morn had to drag myself out of bed!! haiz..my slp... had to travel a journey as it's at yck.. only to find out later...had to walk 20 mins walk to their building...really far....

At the interview, only to find out more... well actually was to to do calling for chasing bad debts~! and worst that's the main job scope! and that's what i mind the most.. in the end i replied her had to think abt it and left first.. mins after i left their office and the agent called me shouting to me like " hey yingkai~~ you don't want the job?? Carmen( hr exec ) likes you a lot! she wants to take you! " i was like... stumped of cuz.. cuz the person who interviewed me in the first place was not her but her subordinate..i have never seen her at all.. not even say spoke to her.. only her subordinate pass the msg to her on how she felt about me... hai...wad a crap agents can come out with...

I told my agent i had to consider first as i had another job interview in the afternoon and coincidentally under the same company as well... but this time was through the employer priscilla directly... Priscilla was under Carmen's dept of hq as well...but both didnt know they offered me 2 jobs together... eventually, my agent actually revealed to Carmen that " Aiya yingkai has so many interviews leh" Well, i believe the agent sure has told Carmen the truth about Priscilla offering me the job at a bit higher pay as well... but only on two month basis instead of six months..

Four of us were busy cross- calling each other ( Priscilla, Carmen, my agent and me )... which i find it so sick of the whole thing.. in the end i dunno wad Carmen told Priscilla, Priscilla actually called me to cancel the interview.. which i get the meaning... on the pretext that they had to cancel all interviews for the job at hq side and do some shortlisting on the candidates first before they confirm for interview... which i got the meaning... and guess wad... Pris was still stammering... haiz...if u wanna lie... give a better one thou...

I was damn pissed off...but still manage to react calmly... wad to do ... guess they really need a long term temp person on the first side... well.. my agent was not too bad.. dunno how she fought.. managed to get me extra 200 bucks into my monthly pay which a non undergrad could hardly get.. it was not too much ... but frankly speaking it's hard to get the same rate elsewhere...ha..but i still complain of the work scope saying i was not really into whole calling... somehow they manage to convince me to fit me into other duties related to finance if poss other than callin... well, i never seen a company accomodated me so much... just accept and try lor..else feel very bad to them... not that i very buai hiao bai... but maybe hm..looks convincingly sincere?? heez...

YEaH... starting work next week~ Hope all turns well

torn to pieces...

2004-07-07T00:16:00.000+08:00

2001... the yr that changed my life... where i felt so directionless... it was the time which i led a wandering life in pjc...thinking last min studies do make miracles... but eventually turn out wrong... it was the period when i slacked, led off track and slowed down in terms of motivation power. in the end i paid the price for 2002.

slept a lot.. and slept a lot..till i became lethargic every day... sch was fun... but my energy span could nv last me more than the afternoon..

2004.i got my results. was quite alright given the effort that i put in. thou was not up to expectations. only one subject killed me. this was the yr which i landed in the wrong job. and tt eroded half a yr of my entire life again.

' The day i left the airport'

last week, i headed to the airport to send off Randy. the day where he turned around and stepped into the immigrations with just a word of thanks, made my heart came to a decision.. many a times i wanted to just call his name and tell him some things before he turn ard and leave but was just tongue tied. sometimes things are fated, we just couldnt communicate that's all... and he should have already had his girl by now. eventually, i don't intend to contact him anymore when he comes back, cuz i made the decision of giving him up.

Recent Happenings- first job after break (5/7/04)

2004-07-06T02:00:00.000+08:00

Today was my first day in a foreign bank at dohby ghaut… was looking forward to it since last week.

Well first day went under a temp colleague… Sabrina, she demonstrated the methods to update data entry of all clients….. So many thousands…

That’s nt all ..best part is I had to see and take down notes myself…. And to learn within today~~

Opening tens over screens, memorize all codes, passwords and initials, and to play ard w two computers all day….update whole day…. Estimated ard to finish 200 plus a/c min per day… but only 20 half completed for 6 hours~~~ argh….. such a failure… this environment is strictly fast paced…. Learn fast , do fast, take more new tasks fast too…. Simple data entry but hard to perform…. Almost as if expecting u to learn full sets of A/C within one day!

Dahpne the one whom I will be taking over her place… and the one to teach me the stuff also… was actually an Asean Scholar, younger than me…. But she knew everything at the back of her hand, and learns things as quick as lighting…. Not that all those ppl are non approachable.. but they have their own work piling up and it seems hard trying to distract them…. At this point in time, where one needs to pick up her skills, i cant be left independent like surviving in a desert w/o water…

How stress to let a scholar teach me…..~~~~ argh…… well…. Not forgetting I made the com hang more than thrice, lock the pass word and had to retrieve from the main office., and had to bother Dahpne… hai paiseh ler……

The whole place is lively but scary… so many ppl…. But u only feel that u are the only one der…it’s time to be independent perhaps….

Recent happenings- trip to china (7/6/04 – 14/6/04 )

2004-07-06T01:55:00.000+08:00

Sorry pals..i noe its been a while since I updated my blog… well here I am back again ya….

Well, in case u wanna know… I’m not schling, neither am I working nw… should I define it as rotting…? ;p

Quitted my previous job in early june, that’s why I left for china on a long vacation in mid june… went w my parents and my bro… was a fun trip and learnt quite a no of history of china… visited places like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing and lastly Shanghai…. Everyday was a rush cuz we only had a day to tour each province.. but Shanghai was bit better had the chance to tour its Big City free and easy for two days thou…Indeed China is forever changing even so for every few months… more expressways to link the provinces up and more transport too…. In case anyone won’t know… china has its fav phrase too : when u reach Nanjing, you will see “ Shi Tou ” aka Stones.. in Suzhou its called seeing “ Ya Tou ” aka pretty babes, in Wuxi, its called “ Ken Gu Tou ” aka eating bones cuz its famous for its Pork Ribs, in Hangzhou its another one called “ Kan Qiao Tou ” aka looking at man made bridges… lastly will be the most voted Shanghai aka “ Kan Ren Tou ” aka seeing ppl’s heads cuz the city is so… so big… well its definitely interesting…

Well, in China one good thing any one must learn is to Bargain!!!! Of cuz… goods produced directly from china are at low cost, of cuz must kill their price to as low as 1/3 of their original price!! Else you will be cheated wor~~~ definitely after the trip I have learnt to becum an auntie haha…. In Shanghai then… also the last of all provinces visited, it’s the best, famous for its dumplings and imitated real like branded goods aka shui huo… the best one cant miss if they were to go der… and ppl der extremely rude.. dun be surprised if they knock into you or push you all the way out of the train w/o even saying sorry~~ well. .hated it was being touched so many times on my shoulders for nothing~! Of course not forgetting Shanghainese also have absolutely no fashion sense… they can wear red blouse, green skirts, black and white socks cum yellow shoes… make me feel like errr…….hahha….

One amazing fact tt I actually found out… was the Nan Pu Da Qiao that links to Shanghai… der’s this wording that was actually hand written by the former Deng Xiao Ping on the high Bridge…. The Chinese word “ PU ” in case for Chinese who knows the word, the last stroke/ dot of the word is actually written below the original stroke where it was supposed to be written… of cuz nt becuz Deng Xiao Ping too short or wad cant reach for that.. but it actually has one significant meaning… Deng Xiao Ping wants to wait for Shanghai to be the most prosperous state in China and one of the best tt attracts investors before he can peacefully change the stroke back to original proudly…unfortunately, when his dream was finally realized, he did not have the chance to change it, only HE is the one who has the authority to change it, derfore to this date the word has still remained incorrect on tt high bridge…

Delpeiro...

2004-06-02T01:40:00.000+08:00

Tonite i spent a lovely nite.... maybe cuz delpeiro called up.... ; )... but dunno y lar.. always last on his list nth to do then find me.... like nw nv go clubbing then look for me... hai...very bo xin wan leh~~~ sad sobsobz.... still owe me many outings... but seriously i dun like the feeling of "dangling in the air "...hope to find an ans asap....

As time passes by day by day.. my interview timing is going to reach soon..this thurs in fact...but i had nt much worries abt this thou..next on my list is on how to find a well paid job asap...for me to cross my financial barriers... received a call frm UAN today pressing me to pay up for the balance owed... hm...think my bills also nv pay for 2 months ler...going to cut off soon... wanna cry oredi mua......hee....no worries there ll be a way out at the end of ur pathway always...

This week also marks the beginning of S'pore Arts Fest... alot of happenings wandering ard....nt forgetting the neighbourhood alone as well...but really alot of effort being put in by govn and councils to promote arts extensively dont ya agree? was back at work after a whole day but glad to find out later was being entertained by a violin duo performance and the Phi Wind Symphony performance at yew tee shopping centre thou...initially was only attracted to the crowd when i heard this young little fella of less than 8 yrs playing a solo violin act almost like Vanessa Mae!....immediately he caught my attention and i merely just sat der to listen until his duo performance w his elder brother ended...
in fact it was simply Amazing @ how can he do tt????

Following on... the act ended w a half hour performance w e Phi Wind Symphony band..guess wad.. the first person whom i saw walking up the stage was none other than my former sch percussion instructor Dennis~~~!!! heya btw he share the same surname as me SIM haha cool eh...k back to the topic... little wonder he was der considering the fact he was both talented and popular in demand yar....think this guy if can recap correctly ever went to his concert as far back as 1997 already... he was part of SWS at that time...
this half hour show also showcases songs like Le Roy Anderson's Portrait (which was quite familiar haha...), Made in Spore, Walt Disney's cartoon theme songs and yar lastly more imp is the main touching one...was the last song created by John Lennon b4 he was shot dead in Scotland. The title being " Imagine" had an absolute Sax Solo part along w it too...had a great time enjoying the sax solo...made me miss my playings even more..thou his solo still lack of little more feelings thou he still did a great job in bringing out the feel of Imagine..
seriously i like this song man... esp the solo hee......

Might sounds a bit weird i do agree to perform in such places of audiences like aunties grandpas, grandmas, maids and young kids thou.. kept on wandering ard to see even whether such a crowd can understand what's going anot in the first place...ha..but it's a gd start i can say... its been ages since i really sat dwn to enjoy such a performance really eases my day... came at the right time...ha..

k then... its time for bed... logging off~~~

Mixed Feelings~~~

2004-05-31T11:45:00.000+08:00

No more Monday Blues~~~ yeah! cuz i dun have to work today suddenly felt so stressfree...dunno why...

Recalling back my weekend it was the worst weekend i had spent in my entire life... not only did i have to work on both days but was being screwed up on both days as well ! not tt i dun like work but ya noe the feeling of getting screwed up when something goes wrong ya???

My Saturday was being called in to do videofilming for one small event due to lack of ppl doing it... so i had to force myself to agree and help out... its my sat ya noe... but first thing in morn i was terribly late..was supposed to report at 9 am.. but i only left house at 8.30 and the journey takes almost 45 mins... afraid of getting the heated argument again... i forced myself to took a cab which i had not even enough to last the entire journey... so i told the uncle to alight me at yishun first i supposed i shld hav enough... but looking at the speed tt he is driving! at snail's pace!~~~ i was damn pissed off...already told him i was in a hurry... he still had the mood to joke and talk w me..i had to suppress my anger and force a smile back then..in the end i decided i wont have time to travel frm yishun to amk by train so i told uncle to drive me straight to amk station so i can press money frm the atm der if i exceeded the fee...he was kinda doubtful tt time on whther i had enuff money and offered to drop me at yio chu kang instead but i still insisted... eventually when we reached amk station i only exceeded by a buck~~~ thinking tt he wont mind i tried to cham siong w him asking him to just accept it.. but nevertheless he was such a hypocrite!!! saying no money y learn frm others to take cab only waste ppl's time!!! ppl listen up this is TIBS TAXI !!! cant he understand for a while as if ppl want to go all out to cheat him ah.. i already spent my weekend money on all his cab fare and left w ten cents man.. never had i felt so penniless in my entire life... just like bankruptcy~~~

However i still reach office as late by only 5 mins... only to let my two colleagues wait outside for me as i'm the only one holding the keys... 10 mins later this guy, a driver came in to help out for the day's events...i had forgotten to inform him we dun need a driver last min... which led to a communication breakdown... my boss found out and flared up... saying i was irresponsible... and he wont want another extra manpower to increase the cost... i had to take out one of my manpower to fit him in for other duties as it's not to good to let him return just like tt.... was scolded so damn badly... till i admitted i cried.. but nt cuz i did something wrong but cuz of the insults and the vulgars i get most of the time... thou he dun want me to go shooting then..eventually he still asked me to go dwn....

My Saturday just went passed like that... i had no mood to go out...since then everytime i think about this my eyes go red...no idea why...its been so long since my heart felt really pain in the bottom..till i cant swallow my own saliva....

My Sunday needless to say...

Its time i think i shld just take a break and pack up for a few days.... maybe to somewhere far i wont noe.. at least a place that wont remind me of my past...have a kit kat yeah~~~

My Sunday Diary~~~

2004-05-31T03:20:00.000+08:00

Its now almost 3 am Monday ler.. just came back frm work at york ard 12 plus... whole hands are still shivering till nw due to too much carrying of heavy utensils.. but anyway i like my job der.. have been der for 2 plus years ler.. esp my manager steven, a very understanding person.. all the aunties der..the easy going ppl..the cosy enviroment... i simply love it!

simply, my day is so packed up today..morn had to go Changi Naval Base open house mainly to do shooting for my boss and to bring my bro out to widen his knowledge.. intially wanted to go alone.. but thinking its also a gd chance to go out w my family and bring my bro out...so i decided to take a risk by asking my dad along... indeed i kinda regretted abit cuz tt morn i finally experienced wad it was like to be sandwiched betn two impatient and kinda hot tempered persons...my plan to start off e day obviously didnt work, i asked dad to fetch us to jurong point and drop me der to fetch the camera frm my boss.. which i didnt tell my dad it was my boss at all... eventually my boss was late for fifteen mins.. and my dad who was well known to be impatient for even five mins.. of cuz was pissed off when he waited 20 mins for me! my mood was already destroyed first thing in the morn.. but i was set on making things go smoothly according to my plan and go ahead w the trip.. i had a way my dad after all... we had been living under the same roof for so many yrs ler.. just a bit of coaxing and a bit of teasing does the trick man.. hee... i love the way to see both my parents smile w my jokes... i just feel its right to do so..

The trip to changi base was not too bad but not too gd after all..der were lots and dozens of people and entertainment.. and also showcases of e most common and resourceful equipments and ships really was an eye opener...we even went dwn to a real mssile ship and experienced the situation inside this ship which was explained to us by a sergeant..if we had more time we might have even went up to view more ships.. i had even pulled my dad to join in the banana ride and jet skiing w me.. but unfortunatly the queue was too long and my mum had to return to work so it was really my pity!!! Morever due to the humid weather my mum was already kinda frustrated.. so really hard to make them concentrate in the activities w more time... imagine i had to run 400m behind them taking pictures while they were brisk walking all the way thru out the whole carnival making me chase so terribly behind them.. wad to do... still had to get some pictures to submit ma....

Following on we decided to visit my aunt who just had an operation and i had to leave after tt to meet my boss to pass his camera back to him... decided to pass to him before i leave for work at york... however when i reached der he was nt even der... already msged him long time ago to inform him...even waited for 15 mins for him... but he nv replied me after all... came to think tt he was still sleeping and might have overslept so i decided to left in a hurry to york which i was already v late for work...was damn pissed off at the time..imagine someone had to sacrifice a Sunday to do things for you and u had to do this...thou it might nt be on purpose but this is more to a responsibilty...eventually i was really late for york but lucky i walked so swift tt my legs were totally cramped only to be late by 15mins... and steven and the security guard were so nice to pretend knowing i log late by ten mins cuz after 15 ins by rule shld start deducting my pay ler... was really touched... dunno shld call lucky anot... hee..

But anyway ppl...this is my sunday diary ler... i shld be tuning in nw my body cant take it ler... ; )

Tired Day..

2004-05-24T23:26:00.000+08:00

thinking back.. learnt a lot and made a lot of bloody stupid mistakes since then..yaya everything dunno must ask must ask.... dun be too over confident and snobbish ma...." When i was in 1992, where were you?? Still in Primary 2 when i got my first letter of appreciation??!!??" yaya...i know i know.... ya had all sorts of motives like stealing info, be spy from other company,deleting files,and messing up whole operations right??? alright...i admit it..

this boss of mine i must say really had a bad temper.. but compared to last time had dropped by almost 50% le.... but uh hmmm..... still as bad....after work still can say a frend able to hang out w if possible... but at work his face damn serious... cannot even step on his toes not even his nails...i noe u guys have been asking me to quit.. and i not so idiot to be so blur till i dunno he using me!?! ..really wanted to quit at the bottom of my heart... at times under his scolding till i cried thousands a time really had the urge to shout at him saying i dun give a damn on this job tt has no prospects... and considering the miserly pay which i cant survive a month... really i dunno why i still push myself to stay and wei qu myself when i have problems surviving...

i really had lots of plans in future after this job..was intending to join Qantas... dancing classes..Smu course...and of course to do something abt my unkept hair!... but seriously to say not tt i gave up but partly due to this current job it has been holding me up...took up most of my days like almost six days... imagine everyday getting so demoralised till where u got the mood to concentrate on oth stuff???!!! wad to do pity ppl ma.... but dun worry my frends i wont stay der for long ...going off soon.... was quite glad to say thou things are not moving at the pace i want... i am still holding on tight to my pursues.. and of course not giving up man!

missed the days went out last week w hermann and gang to Angels' thou was already walking like crab tt night haha...but hey was still quite sobber... i'm still toking some sense! all because of tt harvey norman lor... made me drank tt Waterfall.. made me had rashes for one entire week! knew i was allergic in the first place dahz... but anyway thanks to him i understand his efforts for doing so..and tt drink was really not cheap man.. so...feel quite bad lor...
