GENERATION GAP

I've arranged to meet my cousin to get a him new wallet today. This morning he called me during his recess time.

Hao: Eh da jie.. can u come my sch 1st instead, den we go j8 together?

Me: Y leh, u dunno e way there ah? Hahaha!

Hao: Wah lau of coz i noe hw 2 go. U juz come my sch meet me 1st and rem to dress up.

I thot i heard him wrgly.

Me: Huh??? Did u juz ask me to dress up?? Ur sch gt so grand till i muz dress up anottt...

Hao: Coz i dun wan to go out wif auntie, so pls doll up b4 u come.

Me: !^%#@&` Si gin na..

*******

I was a little held up by the heavy rain, hence was rather late. He grumbled tat i took such a long time till all his frens haf gone home and they cant see who he is gg out wif. Haha and i told him if i were him i wldnt want my frens to see me gg out wif an older sister who is 10 yrs difference in age!

He then told me tat he was caught by the discipline master for some attire prob and tat only the nerds in sch wears their socks high up. During my sec sch days, hush puppies socks were like so IN and muz pull it high up. Haha nw nobody in sch wears tat everybody wears ankle socks or hidden types.

I knw his seniors in sch have been eyeing him so i've always warned him to stay away frm them, even when he gt any probs he shld nv turned to them 4 help. Its only till today tat i realised he is quite *cough* popular *cough* among gals. He gt so many admirers alrite! Tsk tsk.. no wonder he is so conscious of his image.

Haiz seldom go out wif small boys, i tink i cant comprehend wat they r tinking at times. Haha he hates it whenever i treat him like a lil kid.. And whenever he finds me naggy, he'll switch topic fast to divert my attention.

On our way home, he told me tat despite feeling tired but he had a great day. And tat make me v happy. To me, he is quite an act cool person. He didnt thank me outrightly but i noe he is thankful frm his body language. =)

PS: He joined me n ting for e show, An American Haunting. He said i'm more scary than the show itself and said he became a little deaf aft tat. Hmrph..

HEALING HANDS 3

One of my fav shows.. (a pity no more cai shao fen). I managed to catch an episode the other day which was revolving ard the issue of Euthanasia. The doctors r stunned by a remark frm this particular patient.

"When u haf no future, wats there to fight for?"

IMO, not necessary.

I noe is always much easier to say n tink so optimistically, as an onlooker. Sometimes is really contradicting. There r some pple out there who r fighting so hard to stay alive yet there r others who juz simply choose to end theirs for fear of being a burden to their loved ones.

Every stage in life has its wonderful memories and perhaps setbacks too, making us feel tat e world come crashing down on us.. When such harsh reality hit on us, i guess tats when we haf to learn to deal wif it, find our dirn in life again and picking ourselves up on our own, rather than wallowing in self sorrow. Everybody has his or her own sad story to tell, is tough to compare who has gotten the worst lot.

There's this doctor in the show who is a writer, he mentioned a german saying (or was it a story?) abt a scarred tree. Cant really rem e exact phrasing but tat saying make a lot of sense to me. Abt the scarred tree wif some strong willpower despite having its own flaws and setbacks.

Lets all be glad tat we r living healthily, at least alive n kicking.

HAVE U SMILED TODAY?

Recently a book at Popular caught my attention. 'The 100 Simple Secrets Of Happy People'.

In a study of adults of various ages, a tendency was found for subjects to mimic the expressions of those around them. In other words, sad faces evoked more sad faces, and smiling faces evoked smiles and happiness.

Dun u get it.

Your smile makes other people happy, which in turn makes you happy too.

Dun haf to be a megawatt smile, juz dun fake one can alrdy. =)

*Off to meet my cheeky cousin*

WORK MATTERS

Yesterday at wrk i was approached by a stranger (a customer whom i've attended to for a short while), asking if i'm interested to wrk for the comex fair. She offered quite an attractive pay plus commission. I was v much tempted but i guess i wun haf time for it. Hence i declined her offer. Anyway she had left her number in case i changed my mind, so if any of u interested can get the number frm me, and call to check if there's any more vacancies.

My black face supervisor is asking me out for drinks again.. And oso inviting me to her place during hari raya.. most probably not gg, though i do feel a little obligated to go.. The idea of gg clubbing wif them v weird and i'm not really interested.. She often mention to me abt her TWO cats at home n 1 of them damn frenly. I hate frenly cats and I dun tink i dare to ask her lock her cats up in the room for my sake. haha..

*****************

AT DARREN'S PARTY

If u've seen the results for yesterday's 4D, u wld realise sthg abt the starters category. Those pple buying i-bet for 1983 wld haf won quite a bit this time. The bday boy is very heartache tat he shld haf initiated to share and buy tat number together. Is afterall the year tat we r borned. Everybody is tui including my mum.

Haha juz like wat my lecturer has said today, is v common tat pple usually associate my course wif being real estate agents only. My frens at the party assumed so too. Is like dunno e umpteen times i've explained to them (and relatives too) b4 alrdy and they r still asking me e same thing when i'm alrdy at the 4th yr! But tis time they r curious abt sthg.. Like which hse in spore is most spooky, whether i've been to any eerie hse b4 etc..

*****************

ROM INVITATION AGAIN

Last night i received an email frm fiona tat she's getting ROM soon. Tink anybody who noes abt it will b as shock as me. Initially thot it was some prank mail or wat but as i read on, i was really amused by her candidness.. (She has explicitly requested for ang baos n not presents coz she wanna cover costs. Hahahaha!)

I was telling my sis abt it n my dad overheard. Him trying to b funny again, said i shld learn frm fiona, go jogging more often. Diaoz....

HOME ON A SATURDAY

Yeah for a long long time, i'm home for the whole day on a sat. My parents were surprised, pleasantly surprised i tink.

I spent a few hrs in front of the comp, looking at a few hundreds of fotos and selecting some which i gonna use for the video clip. Then another few hrs testing on the slides and arranging the sequence. Aft facing the comp for so many hrs, my eyes r very much worn out.

I thot i can finish all these in a day, i tink i'm so wrg. Far frm completion.

And even delayed my family for the dinner in e midst of doing the video thing.

Juz received a call frm my beer belly colleague, tat she's gonna b late for wrk tmr. Haha as usual, telling me in advance so tat i can help her cover up.

Busy day tmr, rushing to wrk in the morn den back home to get changed b4 heading to darren's party. *oh-so-tired-at-e-thot-of-it*

NOT JADED YET

"人生会有疲惫想放弃的时候

看不清路的尽头..

天使身后太阳照醒希望的翅膀

那是未来伸出的双手

失去过相信的力量

再艰难的旅途也要骄傲的走过.. "

MSN

I've been using the live messenger lately. One of the functions i like best abt it is able to leave offline msgs. Like long long ago during the icq days, when i dun get to meet some frens online (due to my infrequent online timing), we wld leave each other offline msgs.

Then my sis told me tat even if u appear offline, u can still msg the certain pple u wan/feel like talking to w/o gg online. Hmm.. This doesnt really matter to me, coz if i wanna appear offline i dun tink i'll want to msg anybody for tat matter.

Can still share files wif each other and downloading seems faster than usual..

**************************************

SCHOOL LIFE

This semester is gg b another hell busy again. Thank goodness i've gt all the tutorial timing of my choices. For once, i do not haf any modules frm arts. Haha i dunno if i shld rejoice or wat, coz the biology module is gg b damn tough and the pharmacy module gt tonnes of spelling and names to learn by heart.

I was very early for lessons these 2 days. Like reaching 45 mins earlier. Wanted to stay away frm e crowd n look for somewhere wif aircon n listen to the nice songs tat e radio is playing. So i took the sch shuttle bus all the way to pgp den take another back to the sci fac. Kill time wif the comfort of air-con, idea rite? Hahaha!

On my way home, sthg caught my attention. Next to tat obsolete shopping centre which i've been complaining when will it be demolished, besides hotel 81, gt another hotel leh! Frangrance Hotel. Hmm i wonder y suddenly 2 hotels there. Side by side. Then wif the durians nearby, so geylang-like lor! haha.. but I welcome more and better tenants taking over the old ones, this old shopping centre i've been waiting for a long time to be acquired by some rich tycoon so tat it can be demolished. The present bldg is really wasting the land. So old so badly maintained, watever faults u name it, i tink they haf it.

SMALL WORLD INDEED

Sometimes frenster is such a useful and convenient source to turn to, for those detective kinda investigation wrk. Recently my fren, A, found out via frenster tat her ex bf, B, whom they have broke up not too long ago, happens to be a fren of mine.

Actually I gotta noe B thru another distant fren when they were dating each other many yrs ago. Me and B r mere acquaintance then. Because of some coincidental happenings, me and B get into contact again aft many yrs, via frenster n then msn. After which, learnt frm him tat he has alrdy ended the r/s wif my fren and started a new r/s wif somebody else (A).

All this while, both A and B have been confiding in me a little abt their r/s. So, they r actually talking abt each other, to me. All along, i didnt noe abt it till A asked hw well do i noe abt B. I was really shocked and feel so dumbed, like i shld haf known it earlier esp when i've been following both of their blogs. Piecing wat both A n B have been telling me, I tink I get the super big picture of wats happening now.

Sometimes knwing too much abt sthg isnt tat good, is v troublesome and mind boggling.

But then again, i'm not gg to get myself involved in tis anyway. If everybody's biz become mine, i tink i'll really be siao very soon.

MY CHEEKY COUSIN

My sec 1 cousin, hao, msned me juz nw to show me his frens' fotos. Damn funny. Sometimes i pity his frens.. coz always kena sabo by him.. (There was once when i asked him to let me play the maple game which rong is so addicted to, he then heck into 1 of his frens' a/c to let me play, instead of letting me play his coz he tinks i'm too pro. I quitted e game fast in case causing further damage. Hehe.. )

After showing me all the hilarious fotos, i tink i noe his motive for msging me. Haha.. He wanted me to buy him a wallet and movie. And i almost forgt there's quite an age gap between us.

Hao: Eh when u free? I want to watch movie

Me: Wat show u wanna watch?

Hao: Which show u haven watch?

Me: Tink i've watched all the shows tat i'm interested in alrdy. haha

Hao: How abt 'The Break Up'?

Me: (I've alrdy make plans to watch wif the gals) Aye tat one i haven watch but i cant watch wif u.

Hao: Huh u watching wif ur fren ah, nvm, buy 1 ticket for me.

Me: Cannot, like tat u'll b light bulb leh. LOL!

Hao: U watch wif bf meh? Watch liao den u two will really break up. Better watch wif me.

Me: Hahahaha! Choose another show lah. Aiya i juz recall tat u cant even watch nc 16 shows rite.. Limited choices then.

Hao: Can try. Haha

Me: K lah k lah. But ah, if u want to watch cartoon movies then u look for others hor.

BGR; VEXING ISSUES INVOLVED

For dunno wat reason, i became the coordinator of darren's bday party nxt wk. Me being me, the lazy one, i really dread organising everyone, informing them details abt his party and collecting money frm them for the present. Troublesome when they cant cfm till the day draws nearer and is weird to call up frens u haven spoken to for a long time to inform them abt another fren's party. Esp for my case when both me and darren werent even close back in sr, so naturally their 1st reaction is, "Y didnt he tell me personally leh? Oh.. Izzit you and him.. ??" And i have to repeatedly explain is not wat they r tinking. The possibility of me and him is as remote as me killing a cockroach, as simple as tat. Hehe..

Sidetrack a bit, i suddenly recall the sms i received frm brina the other day. In the past whenever she saw yanzi's adv on tv or read abt her news on papers, she'll b reminded of me. Now besides yanzi, tats sthg else tat will make her think of me. Cockroaches. She saw a dead cockroach on her way home and i came to her mind. She msg me tat to tell me tat the cockroach reminded her of me! Wah raosss.. can dun link me wif cockroaches anot..

Back to my point, so originally, yest meet up wif clar and shar by right should have included more pple. I went town aft my lessons to get darren's present together wif clar while waiting for shar to knock off frm wrk. Bcoz of the coordination wrk i've been doing, i coincidentally found out tat, with the exception of clar, almost all the o1s1 peeps tat i noe were previously attached have recently broke up wif their partner (as for who initiated, i aint too sure and not interested to knw either). How timely things happened at times huh. Thus, in the end i've only asked the 2 of them out.

Chill out wif them aft the e show and one of them started talking abt bgr and marriage. I was listening most of the time, coz i tink i've talked enuff abt such stuff wif all the recent happenings. Bcoz of my silence, they became v inquisitive abt me and commented tat i'm very secretive whenever such topic is raised. I reminded them tat my love history is damn clean so wats there to talk abt in the 1st place. The meanie clar said i ought to reflect and 反省 wats my problem.

To summarise, wif all tat i've witnessed and heard all these while. I oso 有所领悟. Love is indeed blind. People often lost the ability to stay as rational as b4. I joked wif them tat perhaps i've always been too rational tats y it nv get started. And i was telling them wif regards to marriage, i do share a few similar sentiments wif the role zhang yao dong is playing as in the 9pm drama showing currently. Moreover, people nowadays aint like those from the past. How many pple nwadays still go for matchmaking sessions so tat they can get a partner and get married? Hmm amongst all my frens perhaps only half man is like tat, saw his msn nick tat says he is an official SDU member alrdy (though he might claimed tat he joined in the name of learning latin dance). Hahaha dun tell him i said tat hor!

TOKYO DRIFT-ED

Went to catch The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift tis evening wif clar and sharryl. Within a week, i've alrdy watched See No Evil, Super Ex Girlfren and Clicked which resulted v few choices left. Since i'm e problematic one, Sharryl leave the decision to me. Moreover, Clar juz returned frm germany n i tink he aint too sure wat shows screening lately.

Initially i was telling them i hope i wun fall Zzz coz i'm damn tired today. But surprisingly, i walked out of the theatre full of adrenaline rush. Is a fast paced, high energy movie with many many cool and stylo milo racing cars used in the shows which keep my eyes busy wow-ing the cars. Hmm if u intend to lookout for hot chicks in e show, u can forget it lah huh. The 3 of us was wondering y sean was attracted to the female lead, Neela. Both sharryl and me find the sch uniform in japan for guys v nice and stylish. A pity schools here cant have such uniform if not the guys will perspire like hell. Stupid clar said we gt signs of fetish over uniformed guys.

I dun really noe the names of those cars in the show though almost all the cars i will "wah!", hmm except Twinkie's Green Hulk car which i wld hahaha each time i see it. I find some of the drifting scenes (eg drifting thru the massive human traffic at the road junction) were awesome! I was telling them tat i can feel the energy draining and full concentration required to do a drift be it up a multi storey carpark or up the hilly roads.

If u have watched tis show, dun u tink the scene where the gal will come out and stand in between the two cars to say "Ready, Set Toh, Go" before the race starts, damn funny? Everytime when the gal says tat and synchronized wif the standard action, the 3 of us will burst out luffing.

Clar was telling me tat i wld definitely like Initial D better since i like Tokyo Drift. Hah perhaps i'll try to find out who gt tat dvd and see if is really better than Tokyo Drift.

FLYING COCKROACH!!

I was typing my report in the living room, with the media player playing all my favourite songs. All alone at home tonight, my 2 sisters were out and my parents had gone for the zhong yuan hui dinner. Then suddenly heard a buzzing sound. Thought is a fly, i looked up and scared me hell lots. Is a cockroach! Flying cockroach!

Shitz manz, y have it to appear when everyone's out. At least if caren is ard, it wld help a little.

I dunno hw to chase the cockroach away and i'm so scared of it, coz is flying ard. Super hyper cockroach.

Immediately called my dad to ask if the dinner is ending soon so tat he can come back fast n save me. He tried to be funny and he talk to me like he is coaxing some little gal, by telling me tat cockroach isnt gg harm me.

Arghhhh..

Yan gt home soon. And same as me, we two damn scared of cockroaches and insects type. Two helpless gals at home, awaiting someone to get home soon.

Cant stand it anymore, and i called caren up to check if she is coming home soon.

Yea, she say she's reaching home soon. And she is luffing so hard on the fone. So we juz gotta wait for her to come back to save us.

The damn cockroach keeps flying ard and i dare not spray the insecticide at it for fear it will fly towards me.

I cant continue wif my report, coz the cockroach is very distracting.

Damn tat cockroach.

Updated: My parents have returned. My dad being lame again.. Asked if i listened to guo mei mei song juz nw.

OVER LUNCH

Some days ago receive an email frm Dr Ooi inviting alvin, jay and me for lunch to tell him abt our internship experiences. He was our liason officer for tis attachment.

Brought us to the guild house for lunch today. Haha he said it was supposed to be a pool view but happened so tat it is under construction nw. It was a little distracting wif the noise actually. However, i tink we still had quite a pleasant time chatting abt our holidays. And he actually asked abt my clique, aka rong, zhen, leader n jean.

Hmm guys.. IMO, i tink he is not tat XXX as prof ysm lah. Hah if u knw wat i mean..

**********************

AFTER LUNCH

The blissful couple came campus to pick me up for lunch. Yea lunch again. Coz they haven eaten and they came wif the intention of buying me lunch to thk me for the help on their ROM. I tink i've been feasting for the past few days manz. Showed me the fotos we took the other day, gosh they gt a total of 1000+ fotos taken on tat day.

We hang ard till they gotta leave for an appmt wif a vet coz their dog need to take some annual vaccination.

Board train and found a seat. Was daydreaming till i realise the person sitting across me seem to be kinda familiar. I dun wanna make e same mistake like i did when i saw rattlesnake at wrk. Like u knw, the confusion of "is tat person my fren or some acquaintance or juz some artiste." Surprisingly, he came over.

Is Kenny. My primary sch classmate. Haha there used to be another classmate bearing the same surname n chinese name as him. Teachers gotta differentiate them by their english names back then.

Me: Oh! Is u ah! Almost cant recognise.

Kenny: Haha i saw u juz nw, but wasnt sure if is u till u looked in my dirn.

Me: Yea lor, dunno hw many yrs ago when i last saw u. So still in touch wif who?

Kenny: Only phyllis lor.. coz she is my client. Haha..

Me: Wat client? U wrking as?

Kenny: I'm wrking for prudential nw, insurance agent.

Me: Oic.. Hmm.. i hope i will not become ur client leh. Hahahahahahaaa!

Kenny: Hahaha.. hmm.. Not at the moment.

He gt a diploma in industrial design, end up selling insurance now. But i tink he sounded like he really like his job. Haha then ok lor, all the best to him then.

MEMORABLE DAY FOR THE BLISSFUL COUPLE

After some thought decided to delete the previous entry. =)

Some of my frens asked y did tis blissful couple choose to ROM at this pt of time (7 mth) and speculated tat muz b a case of shot gun. Hahahaha! No lah, tis couple not shot gun. Coz the groom, anthony, gg over to the states v soon.. he is in the air force n he gotta go to the states to repair airplanes i tink. And he'll b there for 2 yrs. Hence they gotta ROM 1st b4 auntie allow him to take xueni there wif him.

************************

I had a very tiring day on saturday.

1pm
I've made a hairstyling appt for xueni at 1pm. I was a little late in meeting the blissful couple and received a call frm them tat the groom is choosing his shirt at G2000. I was like, "Wat?? Haven buy yet ah?!!"

Hah i found out some days b4 their ROM tat avid fly them aeroplane n wun b gg. I was alrite wif it coz i'll definitely be there to gif them my blessings no matter there'll b anyone wif me on tat day. But i guess xueni felt bad making me gg alone n thus asked if i'm free to acc her to the salon and aft tat go dwn to the plc straight wif them. And yea of coz i'm free, i specially took off frm wrk a couple wks beforehand to make sure i'll b able to make it.

1.15pm
Met the couple outside Reds and sthg infuriating happened at the salon.

We were in a discussion wif hairstylist A on the style tat wld go wif xueni's outfit.. then midway anthony asked abt the price of styling for men. I knw he was tempted, hence keep prompting him to do it. And he agreed.

Anthony sat some distance away frm us and i assume he wld haf no problems deciding on the style he wants. Hence i juz sat beside xueni and watched stylist A instructing a trainee gal on the kinda curls tat she gotta do for xueni b4 she style her hair later.

While both of them r having their hair washed, i settled the bill for the couple. I didnt knw wat to get for them and giving them ang bao oso unsure wats e right amt to gif, so i decided to sponsor their hairdo.

Initially i was busy snapping some fotos of them. Then aft a while i went over to anthony to check hws his progress. He was talking to hairstylist B.

Apparently, anthony had given e hairstylist the freedom to zi you fa hui. And the results aint his taste. Not quite mine either.

So anthony was telling stylist B tat he didnt quite like tat hairstyle n etc. Stylist B got defensive and i heard her saying, "ur hair is too thick, tats the only hairstyle tat u can go for"

I interupted them and said, "erm u mean u only able to style tis for him? No other options?"

Her face turned black (i guess she felt insulted by my comments) and said, "ya no way. Unless he gets a haircut but he gotta wait for at least an hr coz he didnt make an appt."

Me: We've gt a function to attend later and i'm afraid wun b able to wait for tat long. Erm hw abt styling it like his style *pointing to a trainee standing beside*.

Stylist B: Like i said, his hair is too thick. Unless he cut or else there's no other way. (her face gt even more black and tone getting impatient)

I'm getting pissed. It mayb stylish in her opinion, but i dun tink tis hairstyle suit anthony. I knw such thing is very subjective, but bottomline only if anthony likes it. If he dun, i'm not gg make him feel so uncomfortable the whole day coz of tat hairstyle. I knw i gotta be tat fussy customer somehow tis time.

Anthony didnt wan to create any unpleasant scene n asked her to style back to his original hairstyle. Tat stylist B, wif a black face, ordered tat trainee boy to rewash anthony's hair.

I turned to anthony and mouthed a big "WHY??"

He knw i'm damn annoyed wif tat stylist and said is ok he'll go back and it himself.

Is not ok, alrite. Blood boils.

I walked back to check on xueni and she asked me wat happened over at anthony's side.

Me: Wah lau his hair v jialat. Tat stylist didnt do a good job lor and anthony haf requested to style back to his original's hairstyle! So angry!

I glance over at the trainee gal and almost gt another shock. Tat trainee gal machiam meddling xueni's hair aimlessly wif the hair curling tool.

I smiled at her coz i tink i'm too fierce and perhaps she's v stressed aft seeing my super pissed face. The receptionist who handled the bill for me juz nw, walked past and i signalled her tat i'll like to haf a word wif her outside.

I told her briefly. Seriously, i find it rather absurd. Tis is a reputable salon afterall. So what if anthony's hair is thick. Can only style 1 way mehhhhhh??? I shld ask frens wif thick hair, hw true is tat. Crap lor.

Anyway the receptionist din really knw wat 2 do n gt her manager to speak to me

Manager: Hi, anything tat i can be of help?

Me: Yes definitely. Look, i've brought my frens here to get their hair styled nicely for a function later. Ur stylist haf came up wif sthg tats not quite my fren's taste( hah actually i wanna said sthg like, "ur stylist make my fren look like he gt an uber bad hair day". But i tink tats gonna sound kinda mean so i rephrased) and she claimed tats the only style tat my fren can go for. Nw he is having his hair washed so tat he can go back home and restyle himself coz ur stylist can only do it tat way which my fren dun really like it. I hope u understand my point, we came here not wif the intention of gg back home to restyle our hair. Is there anyway u able to restyle it?

Manager: I believe my stylist and ur fren haf some mis-communication which resulted the end product isnt much to ur fren's liking. My stylist is right tat his hair is v thick. The hairstyle tat she haf done for him is actually v fashionable nw, perhaps ur fren isnt used to it tats y he dun like it. I'll get another stylist to do it all over again.

In e end, stylist A did the styling for anthony. (I really doubt hw many stylists in tat salon lor) Ok it's better than e 1st time, but i still dun tink is v good lah. Then stylist A comment tis hairstyle make anthony look like david tao.. then xueni said more like sleepy head..

Hmm but i tink is all bcoz of anthony's sloppish attire lah. He is in a t-shirt and shorts. So i assured him he is gg to look v handsome when he wears his suit later.

3.30pm
Went over to G2000 to pick up the shirt anthony have chosen and we help him too choose a matching tie.

3.50pm
Reached StarDus clubhse. Hurried wif xueni to get changed and meet her fren who is doing the make up for her while anthony went home to get prepared. Wahhhh the make up took 1.5 hr! I fall zzz on e sofa while waiting, i shld haf brought my sudoku along.

5pm
Is held inside a pub actually. The solemniser(dunno wats e correct term) came n asked the couple which vows they wanted. There's a total of 4 vows, and they chose the shortest one coz they were too nervous. Haha xueni kept asking me some qns b4 the solemniser came, and i juz tell her, "i oso dunno, nv rom b4 wat" Whahaha!

So the ceremony commences fast and ended fast. It was rather sweet lah, though the part when xueni having some problems squeezing the ring into anthony's finger make everyone luff. There's a buffet reception aft tat while the blissful couple gotta take fotos wif many pple.

Gt myself a drink and sat by myself at a table. Some of anthony's frens came n chatted up wif me. There's one who said, "erm i tink u look familiar, have we met b4?"

I was like ermmmmm... "I dun tink so. I'm gg to look for xueni 2 see if she nids my help"

The blissful couple sensed tat i'm bored and decided to intro me to their 2 cameraman. Happens tat 1 of them is the one i mentioned above.

"oh i knw y u look familiar alrdy, some resemblence wif a hk star"

I followed the blissful couple up to the 4 ktv rooms above the pub. 1 room full of xueni's collegues, anthony's buddies, xueni's relatives and lastly anthony's relatives.

Went room to room wif the 2 cameramen to helped them take pictures wif my sis's camera. While we were at the room where xueni's busy taking fotos wif her colleagues, anthony gt me into another room to help him take pictures wif his buddies. I asked the other cameraman to go over but anthony keep insisting me to go over instead. I wonder wat is he up to.

So.. he wanted me to use the big professional camera to take picture for them. It was pretty fun, coz they guys were rather crappy and the songs they were singing when i went in, were rather entertaining. Poor anthony were teased by them coz of his david tao's hair..

8.15pm
The whole reception ended. Everyone haf left except the 2 cameramen, the blissful couple and me. Waited for xueni to get changed and packed up the stuff.

Abt to leave and saw tat cameraman drove a very nice, sleek black car. He asked if i wanted a lift home. I've declined coz i'm v tired n i dun really feel like talking. So can u imagine if i'm in his car, i gotta try to make small talk wif him or juz remained silent and making him feel awkward.

The blissful couple asked me to join them to view fireworks. It was the 1st day then by Italy. Told them tat i'm wrking morning shift nxt day n thus wanna go home earlier to rest. They tried to psycho me into gg by telling me tat e firewrks only take a short while and aft tat gonna sent me home straight. But i felt it wld b better to leave them wif some private moments on such a day. Haha so i went home.

Long huh. Happy now?

MARVELLOUS TUESDAY

Ran a marathon today, a movie marathon to be precise. Hah.. Catch Mortuary (smbody gt our i/c checked for a NC 16 show), The Lakehouse, Now & Forever all in a day. I quite like all these 3 shows wif the fact tat i didnt fall Zzz at all. Slow n boring shows make me sleepy esp on days when i tink i'm darn tired.

Oh then tis narcissistic fren of mine asked me tis qn on our way home, "U sure u'r not a gambler?"

I tink i've created a very wrong impression to a few coz of my past entries on those 4Ds/totos/soccor bets. Haha! Hmm i tink i shall refrain frm writing such stuff and perhaps blog other stuff like fengshui. Or perhaps blog abt my attempt in picking a book off shelf to read or acc frens to bookshops/bookfair or library to uphold a studious image sm frens used to have abt me.

On another note, i was very very puzzled by the fact tat tis security uncle at my wrkplc who likes to talk abt 4D related stuff to me. Like u knw, we dunno each other b4hand. So y he actually come up to me n say, "hey tis are the winning numbers for tonight." Tat was the 1st time when we had a casual chat when i was waiting to knock off. And subsequently it became our default topic nine out of ten times.

Whenever i knw of smbody who dig my archives to read abt my past, i kinda get the cold feet(aye i cant tink of a suitable phrase/wrd).. haha not tat i gt any particular thing to hide lah, if so wldnt be blogged in the 1st plc anyway. But i feel very paiseh, yaya 'paiseh' is the word manz! Coz smtimes some entries r blogged at the spur of the moments n i wld actually forget tat i once mentioned in my blog b4 till aft smtime, one fine day smbody come n ask me abt it or tok abt it again.

***************

I'm alrdy into the 4th wk of my new job. Fast huh. Hmm i tink gonna stop wrk soon coz i haven start on my intership report n sch is gonna start in a couple wks time. I haven been mentioning much abt my new job coz for obvious reasons, nthg much. Being the sole minority, ok lah thkfully no problems getting along wif my 2 colleagues. Juz tat my supervisor always black face everyday, n make me feel like keeping an arm's length wif her. But i tink tats her nature lah, everyday black face.

My beer belly colleague have been telling me a lot abt my supervisor. Like hw fierce she is n etc. Coz she often kena scolded by her. Hence i believe it'll be my turn someday somehow since i'm kinda prone to messing things up at times. *pray hard i'll not get into any trouble*

And i believe hw some pple can juz read my face like a book easily. My supervisor was telling me (a few days aft i start on tis job) on hw sm staff r scared of her coz of her stern face. Explained tat she gotta do wat a sup shld do so tat pple listens to her etc. I understand. She is really serious, so serious tat pple see tat as having black face at wrk.

All of them, including my supervisor, r chiongsters manz. They r frequent clubbers n tat explain part of the reason tis colleague gt a beer belly tat smtimes pple mistook her as a pregnant teenage. Hahaha i always luff at her whenever she tells me abt another mistaken case!

So smtimes they will head dwn to devils bar or zouk or momo together aft wrk. The other day my supervisor was telling me, "perhaps u shld join us one day, will train u to b a better drinker." Hah i take it tat she was juz joking. Hmm yea very very very unlikely i'll go wif them. I muz be out of my mind if i do.

****************

I bought this album recently, 'In Your Honour' by Foo Fighters, during my dinner break. Actually i dunno who the hell is Foo Fighters but the store was playing this track call 'Miracle' and i really like tis song. Ya tis type of song is nice. But i dunno if i'll like the other disc full of noisy tracks, will listen to it smtime real soon. *check on the time* Bedtime!
