Nic's Bday

Went to Bugis with Shirley to shop for Nic's birthday present. We wanted to get him a bag as he like bags a lot.

Started from 3rd floor and check out all the shops that sell bags, nothing nice. Until we came to Adidas... The moment we step into the shop, my eyes were fixed on a white bag. Shirley saw that bag same time as me. We tried carrying the bag and find it really nice and decided to buy that. Gave it to Nic (who was fixing his hair at RED Bugis) later and he told us that he really like that bag. Moreover, this is the only color that he is short of

Hey Nic, Happy Birthday to you~ May you have a wonderful and memorable birthday.

On Monday, I went to catch Initial D with Mei, Ryan & Ping Ping. Booking done via GPRS and my friend forgot to mention that we have to be there half hour earlier to collect the tickets... So in the end the cinema release the tickets to other people and we end up getting seats at the 2nd row, extreme corner... I was looking forward to the show and this was like a great disappointment to me... If there was no booking and we just walk in to buy the tickets, I would not be so disappointed. Good thing is that the show is really nice and seeing Jay on the screen does boast up my mood... not to forget the sms reply that my friends send me to cheer me up

Relaxing day

A day for me to do my shopping for my necessities. Got 5 tops and out of the 5, 4 are black Yeah yeah, I know I have lotsa black tops, almost 90% of the clothes in my wardrobe is black. I keep thinking of adding more colors into it but whenever I step into a store, the first color I look for is black and then still black.

The other day, some friends comment that my life is happening. Hmm How do you define happening? I guess my life did change after last Oct. It used to be staying home, playing games, waiting for his call, etc ... Those were the lonely days in my life... Now is better, much better.

Saw this while surfing and decide to share it here. My ex-bf used "The Alien Abduction" and I have always wonder how we would react if we were to meet on the streets...

Updates

Here's a run down for the past few days

Thursday
Meeting Shirley to go to Kbox and it's their ladies night.
I was held up by work and was late. While waiting for the bus, I thought of "Doggie" (a nickname for a friend) and Alex. After he got attached, he kinda "dump" us and gave all the time to his gf, whom is his wife now. On the other hand, Alex would "dump" me for his friends. Always giving them higher priority than me I used to be a bit mad at Doggie for what he did but standing at a gf's point of view, I resent the attention that Alex gave to his friends. Contradicting... I guess, we would prefer our friends to choose friendship over love and our partner to choose love over friendship.

I was feeling hungry when I met up with Shirley, so we went to BK to buy something to smuggle into Kbox. While I was at the counter, a guy, who said that he work there, talk to me. He commented about my character, saying I'm very bubbly and asked if I have a very good day. I was surprised. Did not expect someone or anyone to talk to me out of the blue and then just cos of that... Make me kinda shy though If the same trait were to be comment by Alex, it would be "Childish" instead of "Bubbly"

Friday
It's Audrey's last working day and we have a farewell dinner at "Xiao Hong Lou", East Coast. I guess parting is part and parcel of life. But it's going to be boring working there...
After the dinner, I went to meet Mei and gang. They were at a void deck and as there is no table and chairs, they used the floor mat which we always used when at East Coast LOL. Felt as though they were having a picnic and I suggested that we go on down to East Coast and spend the night there In return, I got a look from them that suggest that I'm mad Yeah, it is always a fun thing to be out with them and I'm really glad that fate brought them into my life.

23rd Jun coming~

Finally, Initial D is going to show in GV tomorrow~! I felt like I've waited ages for it to show and in between the wait, I got hold of a few songs and an MV. Now I just can't wait to see Jay's acting. I think he will be his usual cool self. Oh... I simply can't wait LOL

Was surfing and saw this article, interesting. Didn't know that divorce rate is that high... are couples nowadays less committed or what? Hmm... anyway, check it out

Bonnie's Wedding

I just came back from my 2nd God Sister, Bonnie's wedding banquet. They held it at Mandarin Hotel and it is a lunch affair. Thus far, I would say that this is the best wedding banquet that I have went to, not cos of the decor, food or whatsoever. It is cos that I can feel their joy, love and happiness at being able to spend the rest of their life together. The slideshow, the music they play, everything, just convey that kinda feeling...

And my bro-in-law is so sweet~! He was giving the usual speech and at the end of it, he said, " Blah blah ... Lastly, I have something to say to my wife. Bonnie, I am not rich, don't drive a big car and doesn't stay in a big house... Therefore, thanks for being my wife" My god sis was so touch that she tear I also felt very touch. And it make me wonder if I will ever find someone as sweet as my bro-in-law

Rain & Tears

I just finished watching the flash that Qiqi passed to me a few days ago. It's called "Rain & Tears" and it is very touching.

The story is about the love between a student (she) and an adult (he). During their courtship, the guy make a clover necklace for the girl... And told her what each leaves stands for ...
One day, the girl left to pursue her studies and suggest a break up as she don't want to hold him back... Well, if you wanna know the ending, view the flash ;)

This is indeed a nice and touching story. And in a way, special to me... Anyway, do check it out.

MOOD ANALYSIS

I just try out the "Mood Analysis" that Shirley has forwarded to me a few days ago. Interesting test, I would say it is kinda true. Ok, here's the link to the test and my results.

Mood Analysis

MOOD ANALYSIS TEST RESULTS

You have always been on the move seeking affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Your ultimate goal has been the realization of an intimate union in which there could be love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust. It has often been said that 'True love is just around the corner' and - if you haven't found it as yet - you possibly soon will.

You are looking for something different. Your imagination has been working overtime and you are seeking adventure - and you'd like to share that adventure, the new experience, with someone like yourself: Imaginative, Enthusiastic and Sensitive.

You wear your heart on your sleeve and since you are an emotional person you are apt to give your all - heart and soul - to all those that show you a little affection; but take care - it would appear that you have been extremely hurt in the past and you keep leaving yourself wide open for punishment.

Unacceptable restrictions have been forced upon you and this is resulting in severe frustration and stress. You are looking for independence and consequently you shy away from any restriction and avoid obligations of anything which might prove hampering. You are being subjected to considerable pressure and want to escape from it so that you can obtain what you need, but unfortunately at this particular moment in time you lack the necessary strength of purpose to succeed in this.

The tensions and stresses that you have experienced of late have been the result of trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond your capabilities. You feel completely inadequate to cope with the situation and you would like nothing better to escape from it all and to be able to relax in a problem and pressure free environment where you can do your thing.

Mr and Mrs Smith

Just got back from watching a movie, Mr and Mrs Smith. The story is about a couple who have a secret each and thus are not able to be very honest and open to each other. Causing a gulf between the two of them...

I think in a relationship, there's bound to be areas whereby you will not be so open about. And I would say that I am not very honest and open at times... like I could be upset with my partner but no matter what, will just deny it... After 7 years of not being allow to show too much of my emotion, I guess it has probably become a habit...

KL Trip

I'm rested enough to update my KL trip, so here goes.

Genting & KL Trip
Mei came to pick me up about 10+pm. Then we went to the coffeeshop at Brendan's house as the rest has not have their dinner.

After dinner, we begin our drive in to Malaysia. It has been a long time since I last went to Malaysia. Actually, I was feeling half hearted about this trip. But as it's over the weekend and I do not need to apply leave, I went.

The drive in is quite smooth as we hit the road about midnight. Mei drove quite fast ... to me it's fast ... speed hitting 160km/hr sometimes ... faster that I ever went was 140km/hr but that was for a short distance...

We reach Genting about 415am. It was vey cold... Even though I have a jacket on, I was shivering brrr ... We spend the whole night at Genting Casino, playing the slots machine. Didn't win, no such luck =P About 8 in the morning, we went for breakfast (Dim Sum) in one of the restaurant there. Food is not nice cos it's cold. It could be due to the weather but I doubt...

After breakfast, we went on to check out First World Hotel. Was surprised to see a long Q in front of the hotel. Later then we know that they are having a promotion to celebrate their 1 year anniversary, $1 stay promotion. No wonder it attract such a big crowd and mostly Singaporeans. The carparks were full of cars with SG carplate...

We left Genting around 12pm and head towards our Hotel, Holiday Villa. It's a nice hotel, more like a service apartment or a small condo. Nice place and the price is reasonable for a 2 bedroom unit.

By the time we finished checking in and settling down, we were dead beat. Didn't sleep for the whole night but also not wanting to waste time. In the end decided to take a short nap before proceeding. It is indeed a very short nap =P only 1hr 15min. I got the task of waking up everyone... a tough task... I have to think of ways to get them to wake up gently so as not to frighten them... not easy not easy although I succeeded in the end =P

Went to "Chi Cheong Gai" in a cab to shop and have our dinner. The cab driver in Malaysia is terrible. They seldom use their meter and will quote you any price that probably just pop into their mind. The 1st driver that stop quote us $8 and the next quote us $15 really terrible. So check the price first before you hop into a cab in Malaysia.

Sunday
We check out at 11am then we went to KLCC for some last minute shopping. As we left the car at the hotel, we went back to claim the car before heading off for SG. Here's somethings that happen along the way:
1) We were at the petrol kiosk a short distance from the causeway. There were lotsa cars there, wow~ good business. Was queuing up behind a Matrix. Saw the owner shaking his car ... hmm... trying his best to get in as much petrol as he can. Just then, the car in front of him move off so we took the pump infront of him. know what I saw? That owner is so greedy for cheap petrol that he keep pumping till the oil overflow and flow down his car body! Is there a need to go to that extend? Just for some cheaper petrol?

2) Shortly before the causeway, there was a police roadblock. Was asked to pull over by the cops. Reason, speeding.... haiz... Mei went down to talk to the police and in the end, settle it with RM$50... money money... you can do wonders...

3) Long queue at the causeway. Some cars, trying to cut queue, drove into the lane meant for buses. As we get nearer, we saw an officer standing at the head of the Buslane jotting down things into his notebook. Guess those drivers can expect a fine soon

Goodbye

I just realised a while ago that I'm very sensitive to the word "Goodbye" be it said in a joking manner or what... it doesn't matters, it's still the word "Goodbye". Those who are closer to me, most probably will know the reason why. The reaction that I have when I hear that word is feeling all my barriers raising up... Instinct? Maybe...

It has been quite sometime since I last link up intereting articles. So here goes:~

How Eating Breakfast Makes You Thinner

Courtesy

Was thinking if I should input this incident here and decided that I should.

Someone message me in MSN and I was telling him that I met my Hong Kong friends when I was there. That's when he said a very RUDE thing. Well, I consider it rude, told another friend of mine about the conver and he, trying to calm me down say that "Online people are like that". Got me thinking... I find that there's no excuses for being rude even if you are online. No matter in real life or in cyberworld, the other party deserves some respect from you. That's my thinking. Maybe it's just me ... I usually try to be nice to people, even strangers.

Ok, following is what I find offensive. Well, actually it's the last word... name has been edited.

Rude right? Maybe he meant it as a joke but please, it's not acceptable to me.

Computer Down

My com has been down since Sat... think I must have over used it =P which is why the power supply is "gone" hahaha ... Now I can only rely on my IT expert to help me fixed the problem, so Mei, you know what to do yah *wink* lol

Hmm... the past few days were all spend with Mei they all. WOW~ Anyway, here's a brief update.

Sat, felt so stone.. cos the night before I sleep quite late. Took a short nap and called Mei when I wake up. Went out for dinner with Mei, Ryan, Bren & Leia at Changi V. After dinner, we went to the lounge at Changi V Hotel. Well, that place cannot compare to Marina Mandarin. The beverages, ambience and service all lose out to M.M. All these are still tolerable. The worst thing is that a housefly has landed on Ryan's glass and is happily drinking his "Ice Latte".... Awww... gross... But then, guess I can't asked for too much, if I'm not wrong, Changi V's hotel is a 3 star hotel?

Sun. I wanted to go Sim Lim to buy the power supply (it's the metal box in the com) and a keyboard. Called Mei to check which kind I should buy and was told that she will try to find me one =P So in the end I just went to Challenger to buy my kyboard. After that, went out with Mei and gang again =P

Ok, have to get back to work already... sign... what a busy day =(

IT Show

Reach home ½ an hour ago, *yawn* so tired...

Sigh... I'm gonna be so so broke this month... Wanted to do hair treatment yesterday and went to TM. Check the prices of Jean Yip and Reds and decided to pop in to Jean Yip. Their 2 step treatment is $88 and my stylist suggested that I top up a bit to make it a 4 step treatment and I agreed. End result is good, hair is now softer than before. Paid $105 just for the treatment... sigh... why is it so expensive? I also sign up for their 5x treatment package @ $540. See I'm gonna be so so broke...

Went to the IT Show with Mei just now. Mei wanted to get a thumb drive so we went there to check if there's any good offers. Saw a 256mb Iomega thumb drive selling at $39, cheap, so Mei got that. Personally I prefer Sony, just because the design looks much much nicer =P LOL yeah, want me to buy something, make it cute and nice =P haha ...

After the show, we went for dinner. And around 1115pm, went to pick Ryan up. Then went to a 24 hour coffee shop and sit down to chit chat. Karmy came to join us shortly after. Chit chat and exchange updates. Seems like we are back to the good old days where we meet every so often =D Glen came over at about 230am after sending Ady home. Everyone is getting so stone so we went home around 330am... *yawn* k, sleeping time... till later~ Good night~ (or good morning)

Damn pissed

I am super duper pissed by some people at work GRRRR... damn pissed!!!

It's about a shipment that is coming in. Supplier committed that the parts is only shipping out today yet someone can keep asking me for the AWB ever since last week!! Pls! AWB are only given when the parts are out! Even if they were to give it to you earlier, what can you achieve when the parts is still sitting in the warehouse??

And this morning, supplier send another email to say that the shipment will be delay. And it was given to the top people and no one say anything. When I mention it later that there's a date change, then people start to insist that that parts have to be out today! Can't they read? So if I never say anything, then what?

Can't stand it. I'm getting mad... time to start looking for alternatives already! And this time round I'm going to look into it seriously. Arggghhh!!!

LOL, I'm so into quiz recently. Well, this one is kinda accurate =P

20 Questions to a Better Relationship

eXpressive: 4/10
Practical: 5/10
Physical: 3/10
Giver: 10/10

You are a RPIG--Reserved Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Rock of Gibraltar.

You are loyal, kind, thoughtful and conscientious. You're a good person. You make everyone around you happier and better, even if you yourself are not at your happiest or best. You just care so much about your friends and loved ones that you can't help giving them everything of yourself. It can wear you out, but you'd never let on.

You're successful, smart and fun to be with, but your self-esteem could use some boosting. You don't like conflict, and you don't like demanding things for yourself, so you can feel unappreciated. But then you wonder if you don't deserve to be appreciated. You do!

You have many small crushes, but it takes you ages to get to a serious stage with someone. You get so caught up second-guessing yourself and worrying if the other person really *likes* likes you that you never dare to make the first move. Generally you end up with another clever RPIG who knows one when s/he sees one. This adds up to one long courtship. Fortunately this also adds up to one long marriage.

You would never cheat. You would never hurt anyone's feelings. You are so sympathetic and give so many second chances that it takes a lo-o-ong time for anyone to get on your bad side.

Your only problem is you can be *too* thoughtful -- you can end up worrying and getting hung up over nothing.

You may be a boy scout.
