A slow weekend


Indeed, a very slow weekend. And I even skipped blogging thru-out the weekend.

Here's a summary then:

Friday:

Nothing much, went lunch with Maxie and the girls. Then went to the ISM Dinner and Dance at Neptune...yeah..gross..not really a fan for those russian topless dancing. I must say its tastefully done, but still, i cant appreciate it. Then Stev called - movie. Okie, its 10pm, and i really wanna get out of the place. So i excused myself from the dinner. *Darn* NO cab, so i thought maybe i walk somemore. After a while...yeee....i reached peninsula alreadi! got a bit lost, but found my way again and walked somemore and reached Park Mall..goodness..ahhaa...I had walked from Neptune, near Lau pa Sat, to Park Mall. Then finally caught the bus to cineleisure.

Started to get a bit dizzy and bad headache. But still wanna go ahead to watch. WE watched Cinderella Man - movie was full and we sat 2nd row. Hmmmm..don really helped my headached coz we were so close to the screen. But nevertheless, its a very good show. *thumbs up*!

After the show, i juz wanted to get home asap coz i was so dizzy. took a cab home. chiuso couldnt send me tonite coz the side mirror of the car was damaged - hanging literally.

Saturday:

So exhausted and stillnot feeling too good. So i skipped jap class. Jan also skipped it.
Slept and slept.

Sunday:

Jan crashed over my place yest. So this morning, we went breakie together and bought some toiletries from cheapo CK hehehe. For our trips. She is going on her honeymoon on 26 Sept, and me going to Korea on 3 Oct.

Yiming came over after wards, and we did the powerpoint for the wedding, some other preparations. Then we left to city for dinner, then to look for luggage at Lucky plaza, taka, then to paragon. Eventually, we went back to mustaffa centre to buy. WAH..that place really big. we were lost in the "dark" lo. scary.

WE left after buying...

and now, im exhasted. Think i better go sleep soon.

Its a Chill Out thursday

Bzzzz Bee Bee again~~ nothing new..hoho!

Frantically finishing up the presentation that I have to do for Jason's Electro. Meeting them at 4pm. left the office about 3.30, and guess what..hahaha...i got lost again. Then finally alight at the industrial park - i went up to #06-05. Huh.....how come so dark one~~~~~

So i called Germaine, she said she will wait for me at the lift. But ...din see her. AND I REALISED ---> i was in the wrong block lor.....wah lau eh, Hahahahahaa....sotong again.

Then i quickly walked over and finally found the right block, right unit, right place. *sweat* hahaha. But i think Germaine went out to look for me, so we both missed each other. But after 5 minutes, she came back to the office. So finally, the presentation starts. Not too bad for a start, managed to intro a few CMOs --> tomorow need to go back and work the costings. Was trying to work within their means of 4 grand.

After my meeting took cab and pick Jon from his office, and we headed to Heerens coz he needed to go to Citibank. After that, we went Billy Bombers for dinner. and not forgeting the impt agenda ---> sign the policy...hehehe

Then went to Alley Bar to juz chill out. Should really try out "Alley Bliss" haha..its Stella Artois with Cranberry and oops..something else cant remember.

Such a huge relieve from the stress from work. Wish it was just Sydney where weekends and chill outs starts on Thursday nite................

*chill*

Chubs in trance

YES --- Chubs in Trance

So tired. So many things to do, so lil time I have. only if my legs could type. I would have.

I think i am exhausted that i just dream....~literally in trance.

Didnt manage to finish the presentation i will be having tomorow afternoon coz more urgent stuff came in the morning. Went to Artifela to vet the Event Preview and almost quite done there. Hope this friday FA then all is history. haha. then can move on to do other stuff.

just came back, kinda tired....then best - stomach ache. Hehehee.....

Did some research yesterday for a really short trip in dec after ATF so as to recharge and chiong for APM. Did up a small lil chart..hehe..was trying amuse chiuso. but he said don waste time decorating etc. Hmm...thought for a busy and stressful day for him - I could juz do the silly powerpoint thingy to cheer him - but seems it backfire? Well...don wanna think that much. Rememberd that Dennis told me guys always think different from girls - we might be sensitive to think that people don appreciate us, but perhaps the guys juz think practicality.

Sigh....but ....still! cant they be a lil, juz lil appreciate. But then i reminded myself...oh yeah...we are not together anymore, so there cannot be any form of expectation. Oh well, sounds logical.

Better get some sleep and go to the office earlier to finish up the presentation.

Sweet dreams

Oh yes, bought the dress for Jan's wedding, and then spent twice at Far East Flora, hmm..one of them can claim coz its from the alumni. All in All, its about 15 hundred....god..........no good no good - this means in Aug and Sept, i did not save at all... sigh.....im such a bad nut .

Yest skipped my blog - too tired. Had long meeting from 10 am till about 3pm. Then worked late till 11 plus and came home - fell asleep after shower.

Its again Sundae ~ how depressing

My weekly depression~~

Woke up and just feel like vegetating and reluctant to wash up. Hmm, supposed to be doing my half marathon - and yeah lo! the 2 tortoise gave up. I KNEW IT *angry*

wanna watch movie but chiuso wanna go play golf *angry*
Then say wanna juz nua at home *angry* *very angry*

ahaha....why me easily agitated... must be PMS.

anywayz, also becoz i treasure my weekend; but however, instead of resting or juz vegetating at home ---> which i deem healthy, but boring for me. i would love to be out, yum cha, kofi or juz lepak around - so i don feel that my life is wasted away with juz work and home.

So, finally after my tantrums again, chiuso suggested watching The Longest Yard at 5pm.
Okie lor.

So i booked 3 tix. jen also coming along.

But guessed what - i fell asleep..hehee..woke up at 3ish and rished to shower - and chiuso msg me to meet at Orchard @ 330. WOOOPSIIIE!

Anyways, i managed to reach Taka at about 10 past 4. Jen was looking at those automatic toothbrush - aka the lazy people toothbrush. He is buying for his brother as a bday gift, and another one for his sis. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ------> it cost 100 or 200 bucks for it! he buy 2 somemore~~~~ *rich* huh.....

The show was good - well at least im a adam sandler fan (other than my bruce willis and ben stiller) - i like him. He makes me laugh..hehee

hmmm..chiuso makes me laugh too. He is my defuser when i always unexpectedly blow up. but he always managed to defuse my "bomb" in time before it goes off. Thats something i appreciates about him too...

oh well...

back to my day: After the show, we went to Crystal Jade for dinner. then headed home.

Chiuso also gave me mooncakes from Shanghai.
gonna try it tomorow - looks good.

My plus one - aka summerprecious is so deeply asleep. Accidentally kicked her face (she is sleeping underneath my crossed legs) and she is still sleeping - and snoring.... Goodness......
So i should turned in soon.

Love u
nites

Its Hen's Nite!

Yesh! It was the Hen's Nite todae for Janice. Instead of usual clubbings as Hen's Nite venue, we had BBQ session at Huiping's apartment. Losta food, yummy and i love juz the cooking, so fun.

Had beers...etc... And then made Janice play our evil game. We filled whipped cream into little sandwich bags and then tie it up. Cut a lil hole at one corner so that the cream can be squeezed out. Janice would then needa use her tighs, legs, feet, whatever - juz without hands, and squeeze the cream to write [I Love Yim] where the love is to draw a heart shape with an arrow. All the words should be Arial font , size 14. ahha. Then the YIM should be BOLD ARIAL SIZE 14, and UNDERLINE.. =) it was funny.

Then we went back to the house, and then continue the truth or dare - hmmmm...now we know much more personal stuffs...hahaa....it was hilarious and atrocious questions..hahaha

Came back about 12 ish - actually tomorow will go for the Half marathon and guess what - as usuall, 2 tortoises decided to give up running, and go for GOLF. TMD. I don wanna tok to tortoised anymore~~~ Such wus...urgh..

upset now, don wanna write liao....

The Server is down! Yiipie! - yet another late night

Ah-Hah! Server was down todae at about 5ish, so nothing could be printed, email couldnt be access...blah blah. So basically, nothing i can do - so i left on the dot =)

Meeting Kelvin and the UWA people to discuss the Games over dinner. In the end, they din turned up coz Nick's dad is in the hospital, just finished a by pass operations.

Anyway, so it was like a New South gathering again. Kelvin, Bee Bee, Elisa, Louis and myself - went to Dian Xiao Er for dinner. Not too bad, i would say. Quite yummy.

After that we met up with Victor and Juan who sent us to Thumper.

GUESS WHO I SAY THERE!!!! - YEsh!! Its my beloved babe! - Kat! She is back from Shanghai for a week. Looking for job now in Singapore, if no job, she will go to shanghai again to try her luck. Long time never see her, still as stunningly gorgeous!

About midnite, Mark finally called, he is coming to join us, but because he needs to queue, and the queue at Thumper is UNBELIEVINGLY long.....Victor and me Q with him too. And yeahh....saw Reuben again. ahhaa..second time already. LAst week saw him at Double O, this week, saw him at Thumper.

Anyway.....I gave thumbs down to Thumper. Second time me there, its the second time im so dissapointed. Ventilation was so bad - i thought i was on the train from New Delhi to Timbaktu. I began to sweat already...GROSSS RIGHT!!! its soooo darn hot, humid, stuff - juz BAD..

music - not good
crowd - okie, i saw a 50+ year old uncle dancing on the platform with the dancing poles...you think leh?!
ambience - hah! please spell this in Thumper - never get it right.

So in the end, i juz concluded that Thumper has no unique identity - well , at least to me. Or if someone knows Thumper's identity, pls kindly advise.

Victor and Kelvin left earlier todae as they needa work tomorow. After a while, Mark and me decided we should either pub hop or juz go for supper - coz i really cant breathe in there already, despite the FEW fans they on. So we went supper with the rest also at Newton. Had my black Loh Pak Kou and sugar cane - darn, its a beer nite and plus supper, im gonna be michelline again.

And here i am bitching all these while waiting for my hair to dry.
*yawn* time to go bed. tomorow morning still needa go see doctor - DONT ASK ME whats wrong. Nothing is wrong. Only that Chiuso made me go see doctor to get referral to go and take whatever gastro---something test coz i puke blood out once. Sigh...very cheong hei. Even threaten to stop seeing me worrrrrrr until i get a appointment. Urgh...

Aniwaes....thats why lo, need to go see the doc tomorow morning

Ok..gotta sleep......feels like vertigo already.

~Chill out~

Must be the nissin~~

CONFIRM lor....must be the spicy nissin i ate yesterday night. This morning, tummy was runny...and okok...to be clearer..LS. Big time, no joke, so painful~~~~~~~~

So decided i should juz take MC...but then realised...hmmm....got work to finish, if not it will be piled as high as KLCC again. Worst of all, if there is a spark in the office, my cubicle will go up into flames like the Sumatra forest clearing......coz there is simply TOOOO MUCH paper on my desk... Gross....

So, i went back to office and clear most of the work. tomorow another wave to finish.

After work todae, went to meet Chiuso at Orchard to buy more winter clothings...haaa...yeah..i know, i have wardrobes of them brought back from Sydney - but you see, wardrobe must always be updated and replenish right-a-nat.......................

Bought this really nice one from Zara - hmm..great...can bring to Pusan also. Will be going to Korea for business trip 1st of Oct. excited but at the same time, i will missed the inter-alumni games......sigh. Good Luck Kelvin, you will be playing in couple games right? And pai se, have to have someone else to cover my duty.

Filled out tummies at Ajisen - we practically order the same things again, just that this time, Chiuso had the Ton toro while i had the tomato ramen.

Then went to buy mooncakes - one for my family and another for Chiuso's parents. Ohhh..i love mooncakes...

Went back at about 9ish after a short drink at the fast food restaurant. Goodness, after Ajisen, the throat always feel like Sahara. Must be the ajinomoto.

*yawn* after watching LOST, went to shower, and now, feeling so sleepy...cant do anything else....time to faan Kao le.

Goodnitey...........

Its not too good a day..............

Not too good a day - nothing drastic happened. But perhpas, feelings were snowballed to a degree which i can feel im sliding towards the depression arena. But of coz, i am able to handle this better than 3 years ago....Take a deep breath and i will be okie.

Thinking alot about the job.....losta things. Think too much that i dont feel like penning it down here again....went for a drink, just talk with someone, and yeah...see a lil more light now. but still, people couldnt make a decision for me. The ultimate decision has to come from me.

Besides work, i just feel my personal space is empty. Just wish someone could fill the space. anyone thank you. Someone that can just make me happy and laugh. Someone whom all i need is to think about, and all worries will not stay in my mind.....

I kept the space for you, my dear, but ...i realised perhaps that you prolly wont come back, yet the space is still open. Am i being silly....

Read this passage from a book, and i thought, its nice.

Here goes:

Time will Heal Our Wounds
Trouble passes. WHat has caused you to burst into tears will soon be forgotten. You may remember that you cried but not what you did so! As we grow up and go through life, we are often surprised at how we lie awake at night, brooding over something that has upset us during the day, or how we nurse resentment against someone by letting the same thoughts run through our minds concerning how to have our own back. We may fly into a rage at the spur of the moment over something, and later wonder what it was that we were so angry about, and be surprised to realise what a waste of time and energy it had all been. We have deliberately continued being unhappy when we could have stopped being so and started thinking about something else which is more wholesome.
Whatever our troubles are, and however agrrieved we may feel, time will heal our wounds, but surely there must be something we can do to prevent ourselves from being hurt in the first place. Why should we allow others or our troubles to drain away our energy and make us unhappy? The answer is that they do not. It is we who make ourselves unhappy.
You may have some trouble in your working place but you shold not infect your home with a bad atmostphere. You should realise that there is an end to those problems. The solutions could be found in achieving freedom from our selfish desires, by eradicating all forms of confusion and ignorance.
Whenever we fail to find a solution to a problem, we are inclined to find a scapegoat, on whom we vent our frustration. We are not prepared to admit our own shortcomings. It is easier to put blame on others. In Fact, some even take pleasure in doing so. This is a completely wrong attitude to adopt. We must not show resentment towards others. We should do our utmost, painstakingly and calmly, to resolve our own problems. We must be prepared to face up any difficulties that we encounter.


For you: I maybe guilty of being pushy. But there is a reason why i wished to see you urgently. But maybe, i cant simply assume you can make time for me. I should respect the choices you have made.....

Chubs Got A FX8!

Bought a new camera today!

Woke up late todae - 1230noon!!! Goodness, never thought i slept for so long. When i looked at the laptop, already 5 messages...hehe. Saw Chiuso's msn message, wah...he woke up so early?

Its pouring monsters & dinosaurs outside - so heavy that i can see the next house. Showered and then got ready to leave the house to meet chiuso at city hall.

The crowd was SCARY!!!! It seems that EVERY Singaporean is at city link. The esclators were jammed - i thought it will prolly ended up with stampede...okie..thank god, it was juz a 5 seconds thingy. The overhead bridge linking city link exit and suntec (balaclava) was so pack, people literally stood there like cars on CTE at 7pm weekdays.

So chiuso and me took the alternative rouet - from marina square and walk thru via pan pac hotel. Comex was sooo packed! but i must say its very succesful and had losta good deals.

went to canon, panasonic and sony to recce digicam -SO FINALLY! I chosed back Panasonic FX8! The current one that i had was a F1 - yeah ancestor of FX8. Bought a violet color one..hehe...like a pink, it matches my ipod :P

Bought it at $649 - comes with leather case, 1 GB SD card (YES YOU HEARD RIGHT!), 1 extra battery, 16 MB SD card and cleaning kit. - outta budget, but well....since it comes wth 1GB card, okie lo.

The resolution is really good and clarity is superb. The best of all - its has this "anti-shake" function for fiddety hands like me.

Had dinner at Hans in Marina Square and then we headed home . Chiuso bought some stuff too, DVD R and CD R i think? and also a CD case.

*yawn* - this weekend had been eventful....so tired......

okie...better go shower now and sleep early. Long day tomorow again.

Its TGIF at Lash - One Fullerton

Its the ex-Embargo, people.

Yeah..it has been opened unofficially for couple of months. The other clubs will be open on the 2nd and 3rd floor on the 23 September OFFICIALLY! Ah-HAh! and guess what? UNSW ALumni, you are invited for this grand event.

Met up Kelvin and the rest for drinks tonite at Lash. Met the PR person, Harry there. Harry was previously the PR/ media person from Zouk if you could remember. Thus, due to his jump to manage Lash and Monico - alamak how to spell? Harry is gonna kill us.

Anyway, due to his jump to Lash , the HK stars are also jumping from Zouk to Lash very soon. Managed to get Lash to be the official UNSW TGIF venue for the members. Great isnt it? Harry is a nice guy to talk to. Ohh..great! and I 've gotta the invitation to attend the 23rd Sept, and im also gonna invite the alumni members to come. Support ne, okie pokie!!

Harry said Edison Chan, Daniel Wu and the rest has actually volunteered to open the event for free..isnt it great! Ohh..edison chen...*droooool* Edison's Harry's good fren, and the rest of the HK stars too. So i think the opening will be a big BASH! And before any others, i've got an sneak preview to look around the new clubs on 2nd and 3rd floors - still renovating for 23 rd Sept, but i tell you, it might be better than Zouk and Velvet. They play with losta colours lightings..and the ambience is terrrrrific! It was the ex-Centro and Lola. Lash wil also eventually rename as Club "ONE" - coool huh.

After meeting up with Harry, drank somemore with the group, and Kelvin had to go to O bar to attend a fren's bdae gathering, so Mark, Bee Bee and me went with him as well.

God it was crowded!!. Enjoyed ourselves with the "wierd" line up of songs, and drinks....

Left the place not too late.....showered and now writing my blog. Long day huh. Before that still met Jon at Siglap for dinner as usual

Hmmm..suddenly felt so sleep already and TV sux, prolly juz gonna turned in soon. TOmorow sitll need to reach SHang at 11 to cut hair.

Love u! Nitey!

YEs - You have heard right!


YES - you heard right, i cant believe I reached home

at 6:15!

Ohh..busy day today, coz we are preparing for the ASMI industry briefing.
Went to Ting Tai Feng for lunch with Dan, Maxie, Cyn & Famous Anthony. After that, went to buy some pastries for the meeting.

Was 5 minutes late to the meeting.... It was wierd! The east coast was pouring as though Typhoon Katrina had paid us a visit. But as soon as we cross to Tanjong Rhu, it was as dry as Sahara!!! talk about the erratic weather nowadays.... or...just that the east side is always "wetter" than other places?

Meeting finally finished at about 5ish, so i decided to go home (and work from home), instead of traveling from Harbourfront back to CHangi, then OT for some hours and go home. So , i took the train from Harbourfront (first time okie....) back home. Hmm...not too bad! quite fast you noe. Was contemplating taking straight bus home, but figure out, its gonna tak 2.5 days to reach home from there. If only can meet chiuso san for ice cream or dinner, coz he stay nearby....
anyway....don disturb him bah

took shower and came online..mmmm..chris, sel and joyce still online from office.

So me just watched some tv, had light dinner, then start to vet the program synopsis...
ohhhh..cant wait for friday to come. Its TGIF again!

Wah sey, cant believe it that i reach home so early...haha

The "plus one" for our empty individual space

Was chatting with Den yesterday nite and we started toking about "space" - individual space. I agree too. BUt i guessed, im not realy a possesive gf bah? *i hope* - cross my fingers

But we do agree that, in our life now, we really hope someone can filled up that space.

Its the truth, to me, i put the person i love in front of myself - but of coz im not blinded by love, im still very much concentrating on my job and my activities. I also donnoe how come i have so much time and energy to do extra stuff...oh well.

But the point is, i am always willing to exchange my individual space for the person i love to fill the space. I am someone who dont really need individual space, coz i don wanna be alone, don wanna just sit and do nothing. really hope someone could just fill my empty place. not just anyone , but that someone. Its important isnt it?

im sure dennis will find the "plus one" to fill his empty space.

And i hope my space will be filled too. No commitment given to me, its okie, coz i have always reserve the place for the someone.

Remember, i am just like the shadow, you wouldnt realised i am always behind you, but if one day you turn back and needed me, you will realised i will always be there.

Hoho, tok too much todae did i? I shall go and finished up my vetting.

Love myself
