planed leave

so I was fumbling what to do with the 17.5days of leave,
Thank goodness I could carry forward 10days to next year (If I'm gonna tender, this will come in handy).

So few days for preparation of exam...long weekend for Deepavali...and 1 week break for my birthday and thats about it...

yesh...my birthday is 2mths away...
Parties? May or may not happen I dunno, but I definitely want a good meal with friends (craving for AMK crabs).

Gifts are still welcome though :) A DVD player to match my new toy will be good :)

and so my work schedule for the next 3mths are pretty fixed... kinda lost excitment

与时并进

now in can!

生命的长短

如果能用计算机来衡量生命的长短有多好
每做一件好事就加一天的寿命
每做一件坏事就减一天的寿命
生命的长短不是用“老”和“病”来定夺

好心，好报

this is the current situation....



alex:
落力为你好得不到分数
你决定要跟他日后同步
他不懂爱惜你我乐意操劳
stephy:
我决意爱他祝我愉快吧
你最明白我痛极亦留下
伤得很重也不怕我愿意等他
alex:
还看着你(他会感动吗)看你在悬崖走路
他却放下你(他已跑掉吗)只照顾自己
stephy:
我惯了爱他你怎样做
在悬崖还是我无退路
*
alex:
对你好无人稀罕我好无人欣赏我好
原来你习惯他一套
从来没有爱我看得清楚我知道
不必得到不妨陪衬但愿为你好
stephy:
他从来都比你差
仍然死心爱他垂头再度听他欺诈
祈求他说爱我为何尚未等到
可能这秒时辰未到
(而明知你爱我我竟扮未知道好人恕我未能做到)
alex:
最受罪也好听听你哭诉
你说难过总比分手更好
stephy:
我说几多的女主角也受过煎熬

alex:
情况坏到(他也许做到)你信任来年一日
他答应做到(他也许做到)统统都做到
alex stephy:
我也似你的无从劝告
宁愿牺牲都不愿却步


alex:
你当我是知己我看得到
我当你是一生前途
stephy:
彼此也是沉迷盲目控制不到
alex stephy:
怎么好都等不到

alex:
怎去做无人珍惜我好无人喜欢我好
原来要学会他一套
从来没有吻过记得清楚我知道
不必得到不妨陪衬但愿为你好
stephy:
好从来都知你好(未够好)
为何他不够好(我不够好)
原来我又与他拥抱
alex stephy:
仍然相信我会有好心得好报
可能到某日会知道

Toilet and Meeting

convenience

after craving for 1 whole mth, I finally found a khaki tonight for 麻辣火锅....
uuuwhhooo!

I'm not particularly a great fan of steamboat but I was craving for something spicy, like REAL spicy, so I thought 重庆麻辣火锅 should be able to do the job.

Steamboat is the best family bonding moments.
Whole family seat around the table, dump their favourites into the pot, and its ready to eat within mins.
A great option for those who cannot make up their mind what to eat or those who are do not have time to spend hrs in the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Buy whatever you like and dump everything inside, even the soup can be bought off the shelf.

I think is also quite a good options for working mum...

"妈咪，今晚吃什么?"

"噢，火锅咯!不用伤脑筋 "

celebrate or mourn?!

huh?! I thought we should be mourning....

poor man...after singing his lungs out, pple are celebrating for his death

as though he is saddam.

enjoy

Enjoying ang moh teh while doing my assignment...without the company of my romanticus neighbour

so you must be wondering how I managed to capture this shot since the right hand is on the mouse... I've got company of "company" :)

另一半

小时候对婚姻的看法很单纯
两个人只要很爱对方就一生一世
结婚，生子，一起终老
爸爸妈妈就是最好的榜样

长大后，开始谈恋爱
很开心，可是从来就没有一个人能让我想要嫁给他
身边的人开始一个个结婚，很为他们高兴
后来那些原本该很幸福的婚姻都已离婚收场
开始觉得结婚到底是什么
是几千几万块的金属锁着第四指和一张了不起的纸让大家认为你们是合法可以有性行为
还是我真的可以跟这个人过完剩下的几十年

我决定还是维持男女朋友比较好
因为所谓的金属和合同其实并没有非常神圣
后来多了很多莫名其妙的“感情”
一些不是真心的感情
我受伤了
不管我在努力，对方还是无动于衷
让我觉得男女朋友的关系已被诅咒了

现在另一半的定义是只要有人陪我就好
不会再作任何努力，因为是不会被心领的
晋升成男女朋友是非也的事
因为是被诅咒的词汇

visiting

lately I found out that I'm being branded as Taiwan-mei in the office, not juz office but other malls as well. hmmm...I took it positively, a place I like mah, so not that bad...

Alena (ping's frd's frd) whom I got to know during my last trip, will be visiting in two weeks time. Coincidentally I'll be travelling but will make it back on 16th to bring her out for dinner.

I told "company" that I was thinking of Lau Pat Sat but was given the face and boo boo. Of coz I know they serve the tourist menu but 老娘 not driving mah...

19 more days till ping's visit... uwhooo I miss her! I hope she brings me my favourite green tea and 玫瑰花茶.

ya lah ya lah I know we recently have it locally. But probably those from Taiwan taste different mah..u know the Taiwan taste?! very difficult to explain and describe hoho...

tiring but enjoyable

I juz finished a 2-day-1-night event for my relaunch and yes I'm dead tired....
the event was great. All the families were very sporting and participated in all the activities. We even got into the Singapore Book of Records - Most Number of People Barbecuing Marshmallow.

Press coverage was great! We've got CNA , TNP and I think the other newsdesk will be covering today.

As usual we have people be here to be seen, but whats new right.

My event company and PR company was indeed a great help. I guess without them and of couse my colleagues, it wouldn't have been a success.

The process was tired but enjoyable :)

Perseverance II

Current mode: still 零时抱佛脚-ing

my romaticus neighbour must have read my post and read my mind (or maybe he saw the lights on in my room), he is still playing the audio-torturing Kenny G number lehz....

at this hour, it can either be, he is trying real hard to impress the gal or he was hoping with his effort with the blowing instrument, he can keep me awake to finish up the assignment due on Thurs

Thanks!

Perseverance

Current mode: 零时抱佛脚

yeap yeap whats new....assignment due Thurs....

But I'm accompanied by my very romanticus neighbour...

playing this on saxophone....



I think its a he though...I mean girls with saxophone tah matchy...

Mr. Romanticus probably has been practising for a long long time, course the last semster when I was also in the current mode, this song also accompanied me through out the long nights of burning the oil...

perhaps trying to impress a girl. Come on, tell me which girl will not be mesmerize?!
Only that... maybe he should take out that banana that was stuck inside the saxophone...it sounded very stuck...painful to my ears!

Death Note

观念

最近本人对爱情的观念有些改变
已经由主动演变成被动
现在是懒得放心思或努力去作出第一步咯
就其实这招还蛮管用的
当你不把它当一回事是，往往别人就特别紧张，好像怕你跑掉一样
感却还真爽
很多时候，一件事情的演变就是在你不经意下有出乎意料的结局

stuck in your own shithole

well, its very grey...very complicated..a lot of things are just unexplainable....

If its grey, make it black or white. Its easy... add more black, you darken it... you add more white, its white...

If its complicated.... jolly well un-complicate it

If is unexplainable... you dumb or what... open your mouth and talk...

excuses.... plain excuses.... excuses for you want to shrink responsibilities and not face everyone.

excuses for you stay as it is....

Independence Day

So yday was National Day.

Lots of people gave their well wishes. and so I heard "Happy Birthday Singapore"

quoted from Oxford Dictionary

birthday
• noun the annual anniversary of the day on which a person was born.

if thats the case shldn't it be Happy Independence Day instead of Happy Birthday?!

God! Its 8:25pm and I'm still in the office alone agian. On eve of holiday... I must be *fill in the blanks*

sigh~ theres juz so much things to do for the relaunch. I'm so busy busy busy with work and school to the extend that I've to skip my meals.yah right skip my meals. since when you see me, lover of all good food (both quality and price), starve?! Thats how busy.

oh well I need some nice sparkling liquid. Bam Bam was asking since when I become so yuppies hanging out dempsey. What to do, korkor's new place, Angel Share, is at dempsey. you guys should check this out. It has got this nice alfresco area. Its juz so...so...nice

Talking about dempsey being yuppies invaded, where they spend on over-priced stuff, I do have to agree dempsey is a true blue yuppies heaven. Everything isover-priced while quality is compromised (wow that rhyme). The kopitam-looking Korean place charged $50 for a bento set. Whats in the bento? a chuck of rice, few tiny plates of kimchi and thats about it. Very angry, I dun like to be cheated for food! I paid for good food!

On the high side, Angel's share on the other hand, is valued for money. The wine selection looks decent and price is affordable.

aside to my busy work sch combo, I was hunting for a decent hotel for ping ping who is coming next mth end. Its juz tough to get a decent and affordable hotel. The shortlisted went like this

~ Robertson Quay Hotel
~ Gallery Hotel
~ Albert Court Hotel
~ Hotel 1929
~ Scarlet Hotel
~ The Link @ Tiong Bahru
~ M Hotel
~ Holiday Inn

dah dah dah... to the extend that I even went to check out Hotel 81 and some hotel in Little India.

I gave Hotel 81 Bugis a chance and check out the courtyard room on Monday.

"standard room with courtyard, 1 queen size mattress, outdoor shower and sun deck chair"

When I walked into the courtyard (balcony say balcony lah, give such a marketing term) I saw two sun deck chair which is lovely. Not until I turn right and saw the shower point exposed! Full Monty exposed with no screen which means you are subjected to peeping from the other tall neighbouring buildings while bathing.

So its like free entertainment for your friend sun-tannig at the sun deck chair while you bathing.

Gah! Once a sleazy hotel, always a sleazy hotel. And I thought the positioning gonna be different with different location (like lesser people have sex in town area). Whatever happen to the segmentations, positioning and targetting. Ok this is scaring, I'm applying sch to blogging....

having said that, I managed to find a good decent one - Hangout@MtEmily I totally like the place. so nice, so young and trendy...I'm sure the girls will love this place...
