counting down to 2007...

It's been a rather taxing end to 2006...

busy like mad when it's supposed to be yr end relak mode for most pple
in the midst of the busyness taiwan earth quake damages cables and us who are reliable on bloomberg kena stuck. The service was finally restored at 6pm on thur...which meant me staying at work till 9.30pm..wah lau..the pea is not used to doing overtime loh...not gd for the mental state...

A visit to my doc confirmed my fears...i gotta be back on meds again ...dam shit...just when i thot i was in the all clear...guess unless i go hole up for months in a moutain or beach resort and like eat organic , drink mountain water....and meditate for hrs a day.....i think i gotta take meds for awhile la...hiaz...

i actually signed up for gym but ended up wasting much of the initial month membership...so far only managed to go for one class...and mostly just laugh at the teacher coz i cannot balance in those funny yoga poses....somemore now aching from the effort...kns

wasted my time this week taking yet another silly futures test..i didn't clear it la..what they ask is not what they have in the book loh.....guess not much future for me .... :
i think i don't take failure v well ah...feel quite shitty...machiam suddenly not as shmart as i thot i was....duhhhh...

fren of mine set up a dating agency...personally i dun believe in paying money to meet pple but i do wish them well in their biz...so if anyone interested can visit www.thedatingloft.com. Just say pea refer one...maybe got discount (actualy i not sure..anyhow say one..haa)

ah well...hope 2007 will b a much brighter year....looking fwd to somemore trips..

budding picassos...

This xmas i got a picture of a scary looking guy bringing flowers to me (hope next yr got real one..but want hamsom one...haa)

And i sat still for a couple of minutes for pea's caricature to be drawn (personally i tink oso look quite scary!)

rainy xmas season

This xmas..really no xmas mood ley...end of yr rainy season....cool...dark...wet...moody weather...

stuff learnt from a young cousin:
"Jingle bells ...jingle bells... batman smells..."

apparently got full lyrics to this...according to some who r comics fans...

I donch get it.

Last fri was at MOS. must say the place rather large la. But besides the retro sounds of studio 54 the rest of the music I dun get. >=| (think must b the age factor..haa)....and there were largely loads of pple hanging round alternating between trying to look cool and looking largely bored....so why bother going there in the 1st place? i dun get it.

The hen was a very high and happy and sporting bride. She gladly did the dares while wearing a veiled hairband. Dares consisted of:

1. Get two guys to give you a kiss on each side of your cheek.
2. Get a guy to bare his bottom for you.
3. Get a guy to do a body shot off you.
4. Do a body shot off a guy.
5. Get a guy(s) to give you 2 of his unused condoms (must be of different brands
or type if it is of the same brand).
6. Find a bald guy and pole dance around him.
7. Get a guy aged between 20-25yrs to buy you a drink.
8. Find a guy with body tattoo and get him to take off his shirt to show you.

She surprised all of us by doing ALL the dares without any problem. Guess being pretty and high (pretty high?) helped as the guyz were pretty game when approached.

The thing is........she's getting married right? so we r all happy for her la....but as the bride why the hell do u hafta kena tekan-ed? V fun meh? I donch get this either.

more weddings...

today euroline/chygene got hitched...1st time i see my fren act demure in a super tight cheongsum dress (so matching w the pink/white color angpow i
"kuup" from ex-bank that i gave her for gd luck..haa)...she had to coz cldn't actually move/talk/eat much in it.....hope they enjoy a well deserved holiday in LA. Of all countless weddings i've attended this must've been one of the most chop chop ones.

soooo glad to b home b4 the sun set today, had time to actually get some rest. The cold virus is not leaving me quite alone yet tho. Feeling abit woozy now actually, not sure if itz the walking arnd in circles in Ikea/thot of having 2more days of work/lookg at the 2 books on my table n disgustingly reminding myself i gotta study it to take yet more tests....*bleh*...just wanna get it over n done w b4 the year is up.

in this condition, i want nothing more then to head home n konk out manz...but got another fren having some hen nite thingy on fri...*hiaz* ...the good thing is the organisers decided not to order the 2 bottles of liquor liao, having realised that some of us (crystal or no crystal) are hopeless at drinking and so wld be appalled to have to pay that much for stuff we dun care to drink...hee.

3 decades and counting

hit the three-ooh and crossed over to the darker side. ha.
doesn't feel like a big deal as some make it out to be.

what happens the 1st week at work after turning 30? the pea falls sick...
must the the 'sa-liap-liew-lian-hooot" that did me in....jeez and it wasn't any good anyways...nabei...not quite worth it....

i shld sleep...but i tink i shall go drink barley and watch dvd...
then again maybe not...maybe shld really go sleep...m aching all over...must b the age...*hiaz*

Groovy baby....

looks like some pple haven't lost their mojo...haha...
this is the dude i report to...v different from his more serious 'look' at work.

hot pea...needs a holiday...

You know how when you meet some pple, there are sparks. Well today...i met that someone....unfortunately, i didn't in my wildest dreams expect the guy to be in his 60s =O

M refering to the qigong master again..haa....he held my neck n my fren literally saw a bright spark!....I didn't know i was sooooo "HOT"......loh..hahahaha.
Apparently i dun drink enuff H2O and my skin's way to dry. I am still feeling some of the prickly static now just thinking abt it. =|

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
talking to PY on msn and I am just reminded of a fabulous diving holiday not too many yrs ago...sangalaki it was...chilling out on the seabed...watching the mantas majestic in flight...cock fren singing bday song to me underwater thru' regulator...which is quite amazing la..he is noisy even underwater...I told myself then that i shld spent every bday if possible on a holiday....sigh...looks like gonna have to take a raincheck this yr. Ming nian huei gen hao! =)

Ribena ....ouch!

This wkend i learnt that i was actually quite silly to stick a straw into the ribena drink pack. Itz actually a cleverly designed pack where u can actually pour, squeeze or suck the drink out. Bet I ain't the only one who didn't know that. Duh...

I also learnt that my back was abit out of alignment. After treating my aching shoulders, the qigong master 'cracked' me back into alignment. I didn't know my bones could make so much noise loh. Almost a symphony going on in there...
neck --> 'kiak'x 2
middle upper back --> 'kiak'
lie on side twist left then right --> 'kiak'x2
legs --> 'kiak'

hmmm...maybe if i go a few more times, i really could grow a few cm taller, after he works out all the kinks in my joints...heh heh

complain blog

dam shack dam shack dam shack...
no motivation...
no inspiration...
feeling bleh...

waiting for somethg exciting to happen...
weekdays r too long n weekends too short...
need a haircut...need new eyeballs...need more time for myself...
need a massage...need to get zapped...need to grow taller
need a break...need to dive...need a man (haha)

it's december soon n m not goin on a trip...damn.

dang dang dang dang...(sing in cheena wedding march tune)

Itz true, the whole world has gotten or is getting married.
Just this month, I received news of 4 pending nuptials, there's Boss wee, Ms lim peh, J.Pang and ChyGene (hey! i coined this! betta than "Euroline" hee)
one wedding happening in Perth, one in bali...1 in S'pore...last one in Sin+LA (this one kiasu, scared not counted so must sign in 2 countries/timezones)...well done! ;)

Days like this i start wondering if i could cut it if i had to work overseas. Think i'm too comfortable here ah...gd frenz n family just a phonecall/taxi ride away. Just today, ex-collgs jio for dinner....then Dix jio go shopping...then chy called ask me whether i'm pretending to work.......then jo jo msn ask me dinner got plans or not....wahhhh...! how come it all comes at one shot la! And the choice i made? Go home eat homecooked 'ai xin' dinner coz mudder morning already 'chope' me say that she will cook. Think she must b feel abit bad coz she saw me munching on Mac's chicken wrap the night before (see la..ystd nobody jio me)

Such is the life of ze comfortable pea...heh...

A whale of an idea...

I confirmed today that I have very good frenz...frenz who r v concerned for my welfare n happiness n for that m grateful...My concerned frenz even discussed amongst themselves my 'single' status and wonder if i ever feel lonely. Hey...m an only child, i actually enjoy the solitude esp since we're bombarded everyday with pple n things...besides...m enjoying my life what...u mean u can't tell?

One of these shmart ass concerned frenz...even suggested that I shld stop hanging out with my regular kakis since most of them are married n unlikely to introduce me to single guys since most of their own frenz are also married. And his solution? I shld severe all ties with my married frenz! =O

By the way..this is also the same dude that made a comment that "whalesperm is salty, that's why the sea is salty!" (altho' spermwhales are indeed the largest sea-living creatures =P) Thankfully the other frenz in the discussion had much betta sense...so heng ah! If not ah...i confirm will get lonely siah!

Miracle electric master...

Just back from Powderful qi gong master's office. Eh...not everyone can see him one ley...by recommendation only...my frens are regulars and they brought me along to see the master. He is so powderful ah...he can channel electromagnetic energy thru' you. It's like freaking sticking ur fingers into the blardi socket...he can control the level (from 1 to 10) and where the 'current' passes...This guy shld be on some amazing reality tv show la!

Apparently, the master liked me enough to grant me a quick 5min sample...woah! powerful shit!...i felt the current thru my arm and my arm went into these involuntary spasms.......he touched my forehead towards the end and i literally 'saw stars'.....they say u can't think bad thoughts or try to seek treatment if u are doubtful......otherwise he might be quite nasty to ya(apprently he has mind reading capabilities too)....haa...so since i'm sooooooo nice n innocent n harmless n always think nothing but good thoughts =P....i was granted an apptm slot 2wks from now....even after 5mins my shoulders feel abit more relaxed so i can imagine how gd a full session wld be... =O

Boo boo...

Haiz...4th week into my new job n I make my 1st "not so big (heng ah!) but will be rather messy to clean up boo boo" ***hang head in shame***
Not looking fwd to it...gotta b more careful manz...i need bigger eyes...me pea-sized eyeballs not doing their job v well so far ah....

Just hope it won't be too painful to clear it up...i've got a musical to catch =P
ze play from paris...ze hunchback de notre dame! n ze pea has got a free ticket! life ain't that bad when u've got gd frenz .... thks my dear parallel universe fren! ;)

Ai Biah Jia Eh Yah...

Seems like I ain't the only one who is choosing to leave a 'cho bo lan' job to another plc where "I Biah Miah"......heee.....gd luck ah ben, hope itz a good choice..
N gd luck miss chua too...hope next time buy car got discount...heh

Today boss say he will try to ask if i can join them for some division dinner in HK...wah lau...'yuan lai' front office can lidat anyhow find excuse to spend money one...i'd rather the money go into my pocket loh...but thatz unfortunately not up to me...so we'll see how it goes... =P

Times flies...I feel like m getting old(er)...only when we get older do we feel n lament that time flies...2more mths n 2006 will be all used up. Woah...dam fast.

scouting for something...

Weekend's here n gone in a flash, my dear cousin's gotten himself married to a lovely lady who wants to have 4 kids with him(**jaw drop**think all the 300 guests quite stunned.) and who will love n honour him even if he grows old and turns semi bald like the funny priest Fr T who presided over the ceremony n kept all the guests entertained.



Me dear princess got herself a new puppy, now this i've gotta see...so.....let me introduce "Scout" her bouncy happy brownie border collie.





Her '1st born' Harper wasn't very amused and they'll have a hard time
pacifying both. Check out Harper's fiery evil stare...(ok ok...so i didn't use the anti-red eye shit on the camera...=P )


Back from dinner with the ever entertaining eugene n chy...i've learnt that my signature is as lazy as i am...thks gene...another useful reminder to cement my faith in my nuahness...m such a natural..what can i say...

was watching the last bit of 'bride n prejudice' on tv..quite farnee la...english words to indian sounding music, imagine signature baywatch red swimsuited angmohs..running along the beach to indian music...
That more or less ends yet another utterly nuah sunday....ahhh zeee best! =)

somethg's missing...& i feel uncomfortable...

hmmmm...feeling abit displaced...back from trip...no downtime...long week ahead...cousin's wedding on sat...tink abt it already feel exhausted liao.

I haven't seen my regular kakis for almost 2wks now...something's missing in my life...i miss u guyz! =P FATA says i'm going up on the FATDIX hall of fame......soooo sad! I'm gonna drop in the rankings real fast.....used to be the #1 hang out kaki ley (in terms of frequency la...hence u can roughly tell how free i was until 2wks ago)

I'm also missing my ex-cell mates, the comfort of knowing what the hell i was doing at work....can go to work and basically work without much brainjuice expanded.....all so ingrained n automatic back then...no sweat...no stress....
Can't say the same now....loads to learn n need to compress compress ...no time no time! Now...if only my brain will wake up n get into gear faster...

boss today say...company policy so they can't get me the blackberry....*woo hoo!* thank goodness for small graces...
If u know me well...my freedom is very very very precious to me...I'm already feeling dam 'kao weh' that my working hrs are awhole lot longer than b4...and i'm not one of those techy junkies...i'll trade that blackberry anyday! heh =P

Hope i'll get into groove real soon...*sigh*

changing gears...

Ahh..itz gd to be back in the comfort of home...
5days in HK can get pretty tiring..esp if you try to fit loads of shopping including hopping over the border to shenzhen. Pretty happy with my finds. Glad to have a great guide to show me arnd n who is gd company.

Was early at Hk airport n wandered arnd trying to look for a starbucks to get a shot of mocha. In the end gave up n wandered to the SQ departure lounge and voila! the tiny lil' starbucks outlet was directly in front of the gangway la! Cockanaden.
My conclusion, HK pple dun really drink ang moh kopi while S'poreans are the top supporters it.

Early this morning...while tossing n turning on the couch, I slipped in n out of a strange dream. This seldom happens to me, i hardly dream, i usually sleep v well. I dreamt that he 'came back'.....itz all a blur n all v strange......i kinda felt comforted n relieved....yet at the back of my mind...i knew it can't be and could actually feel the tugging at that familar spot in my heart. Woke up feeling not too great. On the flight back watched 'click'...a comedy right?....but with a message n quite heart warming ah.......aiya.....i cannot afford to be melancholic now ley...i need to be charged up abit ley....siow siow siow...

Can tell my 33 fren oso not feeling too great. Kinda reminds me of the chasing cars song :
"If I lay here...if i just lay here...
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?"
Guess sometimes we just wanna hit the 'off' or 'pause' button but unfortuately that doesn't happen in life

Fishy fishy

today i felt abit like a fish outta water...1st day on the job...everythg seems so foreign...
office feels kinda warm...far cry from the freezer room in my previous cell.
boss sitting next to me la! so how slack can I be? (very 'kau wek' la..really need some getting used to)
Bombarded with technological advances i didn't have to deal w previously....New systems...new ids...bloomberg anywhr access...supposed to have black berry somemore...i'd rather not loh...i want my downtime! =P

Then ah...thot ok...letz go pantry n take some water...keh keh act busy oso takes effort n makes me chui tah......
walk into pantry....fwah! blurrr ah!...there's like this huge tank.....with a huge arrowana......some luo han ......and 2 freaking stingrays la! and not those small ones like what u see at newton circus ...
2 thoughts ran thru' my head :
1)"wahhhhh...dam nice loh...when can i dive again"
2)"itz not right...those rays not meant to be here loh...i wanna go dive loh"

Ah well...today my 'tuition' ended quite early, could leave by 7pm...think this is gonna be the one n only day I'd be able to do that so i definitely treasure it manz..

Surrealism

My last day has come n gone...kinda surreal...guess maybe not really sinking in quite yet...of course if i think abt it...i will definitely miss the familarity...like 33 say maybe it will hit me when i start new job on monday and when i take mrt still alight at same stop n unconsciously walk towards old plc as it has been programmed in me for almost 3yrs liao. Time surely flies.
But i guess change is constant n we all gotta adapt to survive.

Just sms with 11 who is on his way to his well earned holiday. He say "our partnership ends today...gd luck with my new partner...tho' he thinks i will prefer him" errrr...dam ego loh...but u r right oso loh...at least 11...u're cuter (abit only la...u can come down from the clouds now...)

I was quite impressed that mamasan managed to control very well n hold it all in...then i just found out from 33 that her 'dam break' after we left la...adoi!
Will defintely miss the gd times...right side 11...left side ah cow (ze 3 dragons sitting in a row)...in front mms...10 o'clock got 33 to shoot 'knowing' looks at..heh...
even up there in cell 36...coco's every morning MIL complain session...the short time that auntie kang teach me stuff using flash card method...png kway b/fast in the mornings...

actually i'll be giving up quite abit of fun/personal time w my kakis as well...no more runs or swims in the evenings =(...i'll be lucky if i can join for makan after ur exercise sessions...don't forget me hor!

need dope?

2day already 2nd last day at the sinking ship. By right shld be ORD attitude liao, but farnee ley...11 n me machiam still like sibuay boh eng lidat. Poor fella teach tuition until sore throat, high blood pressure, steam rising from head...so siong until must see Dr Picasso who prescribed him steroids! That seemed to calm him down for only a short while...until he resumed tuition class..then wah piang...pek chek n puuu huei again...i keep hearing him say :"friday exam liao ley, u can still ask me this ah?" ......really sound like teacher loh....but maybe hor....11...itz gd training for ur next job ley...experience how a team lead 'might' feel.

2day oso 2pm last day. He blanjah us each one cup teh ($1 x 7 = $7 fwah! very ex ley)...then came n give farewell advice...then tell me he last time oso had chance to do trading (***roll pea sized eyeballs***) but he say he did't take it up as he felt he was too old to pick up n succeed then (he was given the chance at age 30....ahem....i'll be 30 in awhile loh...si-mi-wa-ko kana sai meaning har?!?)

steamed pea

had a 'work' lunch today. Erm..really got alot of work lined up when i start at the new plc...kinda lookg fwd to the change of scope...trying to prepare myself mentally for the effort required...and knowing how nuah I am...it is indeed a gigantic effort.

In preparation, i decided i shld be nice to myself on my mum's acct...heh...used up another hour of her massage package...niceeeeee....nicely steamed n marinated n kneaded pea...ahhhh....life shld be this good everyday...the way my body is knotted up, you'd think i do hard labour everyday...the therapist was dam patient n good la...now i'm toasty on the outside n supple n tender inside....hmmmm...perfect to hit the bed n zzzz.......

My 10min excursion...

got changed...grabbed my blades...headed out to hail a cab from the kerbside.
then suddenly 'tee orh orh' and could feel a few droplets on my head thru' my cap...
A quick call later....i 'gostan' hurry up walk home...then reach home...log on computer ....eat apple....heavy downpour...
that sums up my 10min sat excursion...
kana sai weather...

Sink...sank...sunk

The plot thickens...wah...after the info from 33 last evening...the bunch of us really dam disappted n disillusioned with these pple.

The things pple will do to advance their own. Think even mamasan in all her 30yrs of long service here also dam sim tiah at the way things are turning out and the treatment we are getting.

It's just a matter of time...we are powerless to change the system...however, options are always available, especially more so now than before...33 n cow will just hafta bide their time, choose wisely and proceed in your own best interest.

In the meantime, i'm glad i heeded an ex-boss advice to 'keep ur head down,do your work and keep your butt outta the line of fire". Quietly I come...quietly i will go...unless 11 decides to do a joke-of-the-mth-pseudo-wedding-montage-farewell-tribute to try and top BW's farewell kns-kiss-ass email.

We shall keep our Jan'07 date/deadline. We shall all meet at Six restaurant for a meal...and hope that ah qua walks by so we can all throw our new respective namecards in his face. heh heh.

Simply complicated?

Pea's musings for the day

I really don't understand some pple.... who in his right mind would ask for a job to head a team if you have zero/nada/zip/tak ada experience in the area?
(might as well tie your own noose n standby)

And 3 days into the job ask the outing personnel if they can come back for one day after they finish their notice period so that you can go on leave?
The audacity!
The absurdity!

Congratulations cell mates! you have a fantastic do-blindly, act-smart, ambitious mousy team leader-wannabe on your hands.
I hear that a simple folk he is not...then my question is...... if the work is really so "SIMPLE", then why do we need such a complicated fella to do it?

water pea

Your Element is Water

Your power colors: blue and aqua Your energy: deep Your season: winter Like the ocean, you evoke deep feelings and passion. You have an emotional, sensitive, and spiritual soul. A bit mysterious, you tend to be quiet when you are working out a problem. You need your alone time, so that you can think and dream.

What Element Are You?

crap

watched a really bad show...miami vice...
sorry guyz...i anyhow hantam...obviously neh do homework.
sitting thru' 2 full hrs trying to decipher the cop mambo jumbo n trying to lip read gong li's cannot make it english left us very confused...spent most of the time squinting at the big screen n thinking "what the f@#k did he/she just say?"
furthermore...colin farrell + gong li = cannot la!!! enuff said

the side show script was rather entertaining tho' :
Largely consisting of gene making some lewd comment -->chy giggling then tryg to repeat it to me --> then i 'amm chio' n come back with another wise ass remark --> chy giggles somemore n relates it to gene.
Ahhhh..what wld we do w/o our frenz? they see us thru' the worst of times...heh...

Since m on the subject...dun watch barnyard...itz really bad too...i watched like 15mins of it on a dvd already wanna fall asleep...monster house is way way wayy betta.

cldn't get a blardi taxi again...n didn't help that i still recovering from food poisoning so gut was feeling dam strange ...machiam a wind instrument lidat...hiaz...soooo glad to b finally home n comfy.

My lessons for this week?
1) We can't cook our own food (5.5 pple LS outta 8.5 pple is dam bad la)
2) Must do basic homework b4 booking tickets to watch show.
3) When in doubt, try to buy time, don't listen to just one side of the story, form ur own conclusion, follow ur gut (assuming itz not gassy n down w alot of problems la!) and dun give in to teddy bears no matter what!

sa-wa-terr-kah !

Back from phuket...land of a thousand smiles....where sometimes when u drive into petrol stations they will still smile at you and politely tell you they dun have petrol to sell you.....
i shall do lazy man method n just post some interesting sights...


When in thailand...look for bali hai...for dam super solid head and back massage.
but be warned...do not eat..drink or even attempt to swallow saliva before treatment...these pple really is 'gu lat choot ka liao' type...and i had all my bones 'cracked' from neck down to waist up...shiok ah! heh


Spent alot of time staring at this poster in front of a hairsalon...trying to do mental conversions which was dam hard when brain is on holiday as well.....dam cheap la...if 100Baht=abt SGD4...then rebonding = sgd16!!! unbelievable right? U dare to try? maybe there's a reason why the salon is empty...? I actually walk away liao but had to double back to take pic...my fren giggling at me la for being silly...






Went to phi phi island and came back with a rather heavy orange-hued-sleep-induced-koala. This my frens is a kodak moment siah...doesn't happen often one...

we think therefore we feel...

ok ok...so
*****ohmmmm.....m a happy healthy pea...la la la...ohmmmm *****

buckets...

watched monster house w 33...i must say it's 'not bad wor'...alil' bit dark for a cartoon...then when i realise steven spielberg had a hand in it...then no wonder la.
even had this part where it was quite touching...i didn't cry but my eyeballs got wet wet abit la..heh...

then i came home...packed my stuff...totter arnd abit then decided I have enough time to finish off my last episode of Grey's anatomy. Fwah ...dam good wor!...this time eyeballs not wet....eyeballs flooded siah...princess' warning was apt indeed.
(miss tan...stop laffing...)

so thatz why now i typing...coz need to wait awhile b4 go and sleep...otherwise 2mr 'bak chiu zeng zeng'...heh...

eventful few days

well...at least the wait is over...itz finally confirmed...i'm moving from a 'pple neh hear b4 bank to yet another pple neh hear b4 bank'...

i find it quite amusing...how u can be working in a place for 3 yrs...smile & say hi to the same faces but never really got to know them on a personal level. Then all of a sudden, when all u have is perhaps 3-4wks more in the same plc, suddenly pple seem friendlier...seem to make alil' bit more effort to engage in conversations etc. Itz ironic in a way...maybe the impending absence does indeed makes the heart grow abit fonder?

Was trying darn hard to plan a quick getaway trip before i start at the new plc...so desparate for kakis...in the end decided maybe itz betta to spend the money on spa here instead. who knows at the 11th hr today...i chatted w ze ever busy m'sian and found out a couple of them were actually heading for a short trip to phuket and the dates were perfect for me. So being the slightly more insistent pea that i've become...i got myself a self-invite and booked the air ticket to join them..heh...yayyy!!! at least i still get my short holiday...=)

so things work out in the end...goody goody...

i donch like...

I hate these endless waiting games...
i don't like to be kept waiting...
i don't like it when pple tell me abit but not the full story...
i don't like it when u dangle carrot in front of me but don't let me bite...
i don't like it when boss come by everyday to spotcheck n try to 'yiam' my computer screen...
i don't like it when i know what needs to be done but i can't 'action action' yet coz of factors out of my control...
i don't like it when pple ya-ya-papaya at me...
i don't like it when pple try to dig info from/abt me...
i don't like it when pple assume that one must be attached/married to be happy...
i don't like it when pple give me non-answers when all i need is a straightfwd yes or no...
i don't like it when pple hold back and not say what they wanna say to me...
i don't like it that itz so hard to find a group to go dive again...*sigh*...can someone pls bring back the good ol' times...

eh..ok..enuff...actually i meant to type only 1st 4 lines...but since i was on a roll ...whadd the hell...

on a lighter note: my goldfish-attention-span-fren called me again today to invite me to a singles' party...guess some pple really truely still just donch get it...?

ouch...

A well spent weekend...over so fast...bladed...swam...kopi-ed...biked...chee cheong fan-ed...

Least i felt like it was a wkend well spent...think my nuah-level decrease at least 2 levels liao...but that said...now my shoulders ache...butt hurts...i think i need a massage...or maybe take the next 2 wks off...

the tan i got today can only last a few days at most...i need a holiday...i need to breathe some compressed air...and feel weightless .....tioman anyone?

It's all a stage...

Recently I discovered that there seems to be alot of pple with a misconception. Namely, they think that single pple = no life, hence can afford to work late, in the same vein, they also think that married/attached pple = busy/alot of committments hence will not put in extra effort to advance their career.

I kena asked this question during interview...
The Fella: "Any committments?...kids? "
Me :"No kids...none planned in the near future...so no crying baby to run home to"
Fella:" How abt bf?"
Me :"Errr ...can be arranged?" (heh heh)

so ah...dear frens...if u were ever to call me and suddenly i 'greet you' with 'dear or darling'...pls dun freak out and shit in ur pants...i am probably in the presence of "some pple" who i feel i shld let them think i 'got a life' according to their definitions so that perhaps i won't be expected to work late..heh...=P

chill out ...

Dunno whatz wrong with me this week. been sleeping less...like I don't get the hit-the-bed-n-konk-out feeling and I actually wake up before the alarm goes off...very strange indeed... been feeling abit distracted at work...guess most of my cell-mates were as well...all 'sim hong hong, boh sim cho kang' pattern.

Think my body is reacting to the slightly increased metabolic activity from my tue-run, wed-swim, thur-run schedule...not sure if itz a gd thing...to play safe...i chilled out the entire weekend...slept 20hrs in over 2 days...anything to prevent my body from going into shock..heh heh...

Then got new gadget to play with...my polar HRM...tested it and it tells me my heart condition is 'moderate' only...chey...still long way to go...
but as i suspected, my 'relax index' is better than normal..heh heh...go figure...

ah well...hope i get some good news this week...

Nerves jammed

back from KL...didn't have much time for shopping...so end up didn't buy much...but it was still nice enuff.
Quite glad that the baby really quite kwai...didn't make much noise...just that now i can't get the his fav tune outta my head...am quite sure the lyrics are wrong but who cares...

"jerry...has only one big ball...
jerry...has two but not that small...
jerry...has hardly any...and
danny...has nothing as all"...tee hee hee...

think i'm getting old...can't take long car rides v well...my whole shoulder/neck area hurts like hell...gave me headache n make me nauseous enuff to puke the entire contents of a yummy dinner out last nite. not funny at all...hope i didn't spoil the fun for the rest of the gang.

today massage..just when the nerves are starting to get abit un-jammed...i found out from my cellmates that the ZYM fella spotcheck my desk again n found my altered leave form....argh...sianz...gotta explain myself 2mr...not lookg fwd to it...
see..the thing is..if he didn't 'kay kiang' go sign it 1st then we wldn't have this problem right? ok la so i forgot...but still itz his fault...
I am quite beyond hope liao...so bohchap i dun really bother to cho hee oso...think he knows we all dun like his style ...the more he wanna 'ji jiao' small things..the more i will do loh...buay tahan...

CBTL Pea

no...CBTL does not = coffee bean tea leaves...think hokkien swear word...

Today i received a call on my mobile with a 'withheld number'...thot...oh! lobang lai liao..hurry up pick up.

Turn out to be a 'CON'sultant from one of those dating svcs shit.
Got my number from a friend of mine who 'signed up with them and having alot of fun'
(my mind's database immediately throw out one possible answer as to who wld do such a thing: my can-have big-brush-in-small-hangbag-but-forget-credit card n cash, attention span-of a goldfish- fren...)

so after composing myself while listening to the consultant's gibber gabber...i just say i not keen. Then the consultant say :"U mean u not keen to meet interesting guys?" (wah lau..dam old sales tactic liao loh)

In my mind m thinking :"i m not interested to meet anyone who wld need to pay $1600 for help to find a date" (confirm quite langgah kee-chia type)

but being the nice pea that i am i said :"i wldn't put it that way, just not thru' this avenue"

consultant:"oh really? but ur fren is having soooooo much fun! (coo-ing like bird brained hyper active slap-me-now-but-i'll-still-be-freaking-chirpy-pest)

me:" ooooh! i wish her alllllll the best! but i'm still not interested"

*********grrrr************the audacity........some pple really just dun get it.

i need to bitch ...i already bitch to at least 5 pple.......then i decided to blog it so more pple can read abt my bitching...so there...i kam wan liao.

yee yee p? nooooo!

*burp*
ate too much again...mama pea's warning resounding in my ear...(always go eat w allan n gang...dun serkali come back yee yee ah!)
But i must say the clubpunggol grey's anatomy dvd marathon is always good...=)
i special guest..still got cut honey melon one...dun pray pray...thks to dix n fata.

2mr i go swim...w my pincess...any other takers?

unfrenly P

there are some pple ... i get irritated just talking to them, after a few times, the stories sound old, yet they wallow in self pity n refuse to lift their heads outta the sand. we are not powerless...things are not allll fate, we do our best with the cards we r dealt with. It's about choices...about taking responsibility of ur own lives...we are alot stronger than we think...

To quote a saying i've come across b4 :
"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not darkness that frightens us"

(Powderful siah?!)

thankfully it ain't my job to change pple's perceptions, so instead of continuing ...if i sense it's a lost cause...i just turn the other way...i get less annoyed that way...which is what i just did...cut short a conversation w someone i haven't talked to in several months...just ain't worth it sometimes...i actually saw this person walking in front of me coupla days ago...but i just didn't feel like engaging...ha

dun really know whatz eating at me lately...maybe itz pms...maybe itz the stalemate at work...maybe itz my silly foot wart that won't go away...maybe maybe maybe...

i tink some retail therapy is in order....massage sounds good too...
or maybe i just need to get away to someplc nice like SWV and breathe some compressed air...

Edgy P

today dam cranky mood..woke up thinking it was monday.

it is v seldom that someone pushed my buttons so much i actually flare up one. V v rareeee....today i basically told a fren to fuck off...not the nicest thing to say but some pple just dun get it ...even after i used such harsh words..they still dun get it...i give up.

lousy day at work as well....lunch buy food kena Q dam long...just added to my 'mang zhang tang' feeling...

went for my evening run...then comfort food (cai tao kway!..haa) w the gang...feels gd...ha..what wld i do without my frenz...heh...fata...next time u need ice kacang call me anytime i eat w u..=P

anyway...my croaky fren is right...single pple hv zero credibility for matchmaking so they shld learn to go fly kite.

of lazy days n lusty thots..

ah...how i love lazy sat mornings...no alarm clock...sleep until shiok shiok...
slow leisurely breakfast while flipping papers...just lack a superb mountain or sea view to complete the picture.

once in ahile it's nice to take it slow...with nooooo plans...haha..but round abt until 2pm i get abit bored liao then i ask myself why no plans? haa...
so end up trying to entertain myself whole aftern...read book.. surf net to see if i can satisfy my travel lust...itz acting up again...hiaz...

was telling my mum abt our stingy 2pm lunch story...even she also shake head and say 'eee-oh...why so buay tai hong one'...think BTH makes a good nick too...hard to guess...ha..

oh ya..watched the lakehse...keanuuuuu!!! =) problem w such romantic dramas..it makes us believe guyz are capable of such great acts of patience n open-ur-heart-declarations of love n do-anythg-everythg-for-u type attitude...of course in reality...they just sit arnd drink beer n watch soccer...cheh!...
which is why watch already abit depressing...esp the part the charboh say :"what if wait too long n no one shows up...wah lau...dam sad type...=P

what would pea do?

I love Grey's anatomy...superb show...captures all the raw human emotions...never ceases to set me pondering...I like the way the show always ends with a quotable quote...

coupla episodes ago it was :"the world of pretend is a cocoon, it wraps you up and suffocates you"..err or somethg to that effect la...i said the show sets me pondering..but i didn't say for how long or if i'd rmbr it after awhile...heh...

this week's ponder-abt-it quote :"If it was your last day on earth, how would you live it"

I've thought abt this question...but so far i can't really come up with a very good answer...guess i can say that i don't think i've got much regrets in life...so that to me is a pretty gd way to live...

ok...i've got one more chapter of a dam farnee book to get thru' ...so i'm gonna finish it off tonite so i won't regret it...=)

one big dam puzzler

Do parallel universes really exist?

Me & My fren J, we met in secondary school n the friendship has lasted 15yrs and counting...

Things we share in common:

Name: Su Lin
Born: 1976
Siblings: Nil
Parents: mum & dad born under the same zodiac sign
Our zodiac? one's a sagittarius, the other's a gemini, according to what i've read thus far...both make great friends...
Recent events: Grandpa passed away...
born 1916, age 90yrs

Stuff that happens to me seems to have their parallels in her life n vice versa.
Currently, we r both single, she tells me I have a responsiblity to 'do something about it' so that she can find her true love. Go figure...=P

Moon Goddess

I am a moon goddess

Hey! how many of you can claim this kind of mystical fame? haaa...

my daily jail

see...my jail uniform so bright n nice hor...


by popular demand...here's what cell #2 looks like...

batam escapade

back from short wkend getaway...so glad i decided to nuah (again)...
if i'm not wrong I might have sat in this exact same beach chair a few months ago...heh...taking an identical shot...


Seeing these guyz back from their harrowing ride only serve to remind me how thankful i am i didn't join them! i can do without looking like a clownfish...hee

A life of love or the love of my life?

Scribbled this on a scrap of paper on a dark and stormy night.
Nothing like getting it archived away for keeps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once knew a guy, cute as can be;
Strong, vibrant, an athlete was he;
So healthy I thought;
But t'was all for nought;
A crush I nurtured;
By a stroke of luck love fostered;
A year or two was all I had;
Precious memories now nary shared;
Under dire circumstances we had to part;
Plunged by a knife, tore out my heart;
Such intense pain I was to bear;
Never again I wish i swear;
Many years it would be since then;
Tell me surely, if not now when?
A second chance at love?
Am I finally free?
Would I allow it to happen to me?
Well...
Maybe...
Maybe..
Maybe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear fren, if you have just read this n u are concerned...
let me state for the record...
no i am not depressed, (melancholic at times but definitely no depression issues)
no i am not in denial...
yes...i am still open to an alternative career as a writer.
Admittedly the 'standard' not quite there yet...but gotta practice and start somewhere...;P

wah...ho ah!

Today woke up 6.30am (siow! so early) for the shape run. Sky was still dark, 1st thing that crossed my mind was "mental note to self: dun ever sign up for such stuff again, too dam early liao, not worth it".

Made my way to marina promenade w mz coco...dam crowded loh...didn't see ws but bump into 2 ex collgs instead. Managed to jog most of the 5km route. At least not last la...I'm quite bad at running but not that bad la. ms coco legs alot longer..so lost sight of her 1/2 way thru the route...

AFter that must collect goodie bag...which was principally what we (ok..I...what I signed up for).
Quite good I must say...got big nike towel...small nike bottle...various vitamin supplements...got this 'minus fat' thingy somemore (anyone want that?) ...various facial n shower stuff to try......even gave vitagen n yogurt n sunflower oil n loaf of loti...collected on dix behalf as well since she was still in la la land from working too hard the days before.

Kept telling ms coco :"wah...machiam sibeh auntie loh...buay tahan"..heh...heavy laden w bags of free stuff we still had enuff energy in us to do quick shopping at Zara (got sale la...50% sign big big...ms coco cannot resist) Then my fren jo called me, thot 'got hope! she might volunteer to come tumpang me" but instead she merely called me for a weather check so she cld head to ecp for blading...cheh...

ah well...so fast...wkend over...2mr mon AGAIN...=( but "neh mind" (there's a hand signal that can be used underwater for this term)...at least got sunny wkend planned ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sat-zoo outing part II

this time arnd...more species were promised but no show ley...but it was ok ...we still had a gd time...


me with cookie the lup chiong


never thot i'd say this(i m used to and usu prefer larger pooches), but this CHH brownie is such a manja sweetie!

cockanaden day...

today quite drama.

murphy's law really applies...

went out late for lunch w my collg ms V...jalan arnd abit...then decided to head back....went down escalator still happily yakking away...got to the bottom was still yakking and got distracted and lifted my foot only a wee...nano-second too slowly, the front of my left shoe got wedged under! the whole darn thing ground to a loud halt. The commuters higher up on the escalator must've been cursing for nearly losing their balance.

"my stuck shoe"

at least got kind samaritan offered to go to mrt control station to get help...seeing that he'll prob be alot faster than i can hobble on one shoe...

one dude came down the stalled escalator and commented in disbelief :"oh shit! someone's shoe got stuck!"...then he turned n realised i was there...he looked quite paiseh ...i said :"yah...it's MY shoe"...

Dunno what he paiseh abt loh...m the one standing there trying to balance like a flamingo on one good shoe...everyone coming down STARING at disbelief la...thank gdness for ms V...patiently stand there smile and wait with me...heh

Finally the mrt staff gave me a pair of colourful beach slippers so i can walk properly to shoe shop to buy shoe



Lesson learnt for today? :
" I Shall not complain that nothing exciting ever happens in my life "

Enuff drama for pea for the day...

I still got frame of mind to take pic. Not bad hor..all for the benefit of my fans...cockanaden friends...and whoever else who bothers to read my blog...heh
cheers...

show hand...

Asked for an internal trsf on fri...but he 'siam' me....got stuff up his sleeve he can't yet reveal perhaps? Quite perplexing...I felt like a boy chasing after a girl...posed and question and now waiting for an answer...felt like cornering him but decided to play it cool and give the fella the wkend to think...

well...only 2 outcomes possible...both not too bad for me also la
option 1: stay put...no change in status quo...with the current lack of vol, it will just mean more time on msn and leaving on time...both i'm getting rather good at recently...

option 2: i get to move...i get to occupy myself and at least learn somethg new...save a collg from certain hell due to close proximity scanning radiation...but it'll mean giving up my 'feng shui wei' that i've had for the past 2+ yrs...then i won't get to 'da yan se' at 33 nor happy happy walk over to 'kar chiau' my other frenz over at the other end of the room.....hmmm...a sacrifice indeed...ha..

ahhh...guess all will b revealed in time...in time...shld be an interesting week ahead...hope we all play our cards right...

=================================================================================
speaking of play...

"i can do this! i can resist the choc biscuit on me nose..."


my animal farm wkend started on fri nite...with cookie the 'tua bui' yellow lab that when she sits down really look like a big 'lup chiong'...haaa..yummy yummy...super strong too and will only walk a couple of steps with any1 of us before she realises she ain't supposed to and will just plonk herself on her butt n not budge...

and the father n son team of terry n brownie...so small....so fierce! can actually carry them in one shoulder bag...so neat...so....erm....'legally blonde'...the mama was in pink too! the auntie in pink...heh...

'tis was a rather entertaining wkend at tanjong beach on sat...with a small yelpy harper(the pom-spitz-mutt who recgonises me!) barking her head off at the very much larger but sedate (or perhaps he was just confused that such a small thing can make so much noise for so long) beemer the goldie....

Standby...say cheese 1st...

Grrr...Attack!..beemer 'tio chuak'...



my conclusion: small dogs make lotsa noise...big dogs got small hearts..hehh...

lotsa exercise lined up this wk too...now if only my silly foot wart will just disappear miraculously and stop buggging me...

next up..coldplay concert! woo hoo!...=) itz been awhile since i went to a concert...shld be fun...

Niam king...

Have u ever met one of those pple who...once they open their mouths..they just get on ur nerves? Itz liike a constant grating noise...it just goes on and on and on and on...even the energizer bunny oso lose ah...it gets worse when he's complaining abt somethg...then the grating turns into a full scale whiny pitch which is freaking annoying la!

Imagine this...every hour or so throughout the day someone switches on a vacuum cleaner next to your ears...that's how it feels like...

every topic under the sun oso can 'chap ji kah'...sell subway sandwich he oso got fren doing.....yakun kaya oso his fren doing....hire maid oso got many many long stories...migrate n work overseas he oso say he nearly did it before....SK 2 water oso he got lobang...i think ah...like wah lau...he so 'eh sai' whadd the hell he doing working here right? he shld be like 'his flen' mah...doing biz and making it big liao.....at some point i was thinking to myself......is he talking abt just ONE fren who try alot of things but neh succeed? haaa....=P

so anyways...the next best thing pea has learnt to do when she really dun give a fuck is .....selective reception......works wonders........just block it all out........and go into the zone.....mann i think i can be a zen master liao.....completely boh chap........my PR skills dun suck...they r just non-existent...

quite respect 33 tho' ...really can 'give it to him' good good ah...tah-rok until he oso always boh siah come out...works betta than sledge hammer and less messy oso....i dunno about 18 levels of hell la but if got equivalent 18 levels of heaven u sure get promoted fast fast..haaaa...

ok...late liao....sleep time......*yawn* <=O

underwater magician...

Time to go diving again........soon..........

precious memories...frozen in time...

the three mouse-ke-teers...my cousins n me (grandaunt used to call us the "san zhi lao shu")



My love for pooches n my sam-seng-ness developed at a young age...



tri-bike racing was quite 'in' then too...

loss...

my grandpa passed on today...at a ripe old age of 90yrs...he lived a full life...we're relieved that his painful last few days didn't drag on for too long...he even got baptised in his last week here on earth...by a hokkien speaking priest who was also originally from my grandpa's hometown in china no less...how great is that?


Grandpa in his much younger days...trying to teach us the value of patience, guess from the look on our faces...we didn't really quite get it.

********************************************************************************
on a lighter note...i'm beginning to wonder if the lack of mental stimulation is really affecting my brain function.

Stuff that happened this week:

1) brought my collg to eat this collagen noodle plc only to find that itz a totally different shop. Only realised today that I led her to a totally different street...of course cannot find la!

2) caught a movie this week...happily collected the tickets...read the print and announced :"oh! it's five o'clock" (i meant to say the movie is screening in cinema no. 5 but somehow the wiring betw the brain and the mouth short-circuited)

3) found out Pekya is also from the same secondary school as me..she was asking me what class I was in...i thot for a while and rattled :"oh! i was from class 1B,2C,3A,4A,5A,6A...
?????? (since when s'pore sec school got 6yrs one?) ??????
think she oso blur for awhile but perhaps she was too polite to point out my boo boo...either that or my frens who were wif me in the car (fatdix) oso not really paying attention la!

4) my fren jo n me basically were so blur we unintentionally tekan-ed sheu sum to sprint 400m to collect his stuff from his gym when we could hv easier made a u-turn and dropped him off...

come to think of it...my frenz also quite blur....so maybe m not the only one losing it hor? =P

losing my marbles --- part deux

It was lunchtime, queueing up to order food w 2 collgs...supposed to dapow one packet for another collg who cldn't come out....when it was my turn to order, i say loud loud :" chi de yi bao "

My 2 collgs behind me :" ?????" slience..then burst out laughing...
The sell-rice auntie :"soooo.. shi chi de hai shi bao de"???
me thinking to myself: "wah lau..si eh lak sek again...lucky not alot of pple arnd"

i think really losing my mind slowly laaa....this kind of things shldn't happen to me...i usually quite 'got it together' type...maybe itz the lack of intellectual stimulation at work...realised m on msn most of the time...now that we are what i wld term 'over staffed'...

cultural idiot

today i went to get my foot wart dug out...so happy somemore..thot confirm can get at least 1day mc...

As the doc sat scrapping my foot with a blade and injecting liquid nitrogen to freeze dry the dam thing ...i tried to distract myself from the pain by staring at his stuff on the wall...there were pictures of a toddler boy and a A4 size charcoal sketch ....which i thot was pretty neat for a lil' fella to accomplish...



me:" wah...ur son drew dat ah? quite good ar?"
doc:"huh? that drawing on my wall? no la! thatz a picasso" (duhh..wld u have guessed?)
me:" oooooooooooh, sorry....i'm not cultural" (wah lau! si eh lak sek)
doc:"and thatz not my son, he's my nephew"
me:" ???????????????? (this doc quite frenly/cheery loh...)

After procedure...

doc:"you alright?"
me:"yup...thot it'll be more major tho' thot i'd get an mc for 2mr"
doc:"nah..not serious...you ok to go back to work right?"
me:"err ..ya...dun need my feet to work la"
doc:" ???????????" (at this point he must b thinkg this girl dam strange la)

after i hobbled back to office...was relating my excursion to the doc's to my collgs...i cld hear scanner tell mama "selene, huei lai le".....
In my mind a thousand lightbulbs flashed at once....hurry up make apptm for lunch 2mr so that i won't have to lie if she ask me a 4th time...haaa...dam jiak lut...=P

anyway...lesson learnt today.....dun walk arnd barefoot if u can help it....warts are apparently quite common....esp if u hang out at the pool..gym...spa...beach....liveaboard boats... etc....
Taking effort to wear slippers is much more worth it then getting foot warts...quite an annoying and painful experience...unless of course u want an exciting excursion to the doc's la...then different story...

bu yao bi wo!!!...***grrrrr***

dunno what the hell is wrong pple nowadays...

at home mudder force me to sign up for this insurance savings plan thing her fren is selling...already told her dun want...no need....but she still insist.....that night shoved the whole stack of forms under my nose...wah lau...

i think itz becoz my mum feels bad coz itz one of her good frens and she has to let her good fren down coz my mum wanna get out of this golf committee thing in which this fren of hers is the captain... so guess what...the daughter is roped in to pay for the 'peace offering'...***grrrr***

then ah...at work.....the scanner strikes...already 3rd time liao...ask me out for lunch which i gave cock n bull story to avoid...some pple really dun get it...
Think ah...really gotta be blunt w her liao...i really dun enjoy being mean....itz not my character...i'm a bitch inside my head...i just don't like to become an 'external bitch'...afterall i am fully aware that pple ...no matter how annoying still have feelings one...but wah lau! get the hint already!
***grrrr***

bu yao bi wo!!!!!!! >=(

You Are Jean Grey

Although your fate is often unknown, you always seem to survive (even after death).Your mind is your greatest weapon, literally! Powers: telepathy and telekinesis, the ability to project thoughts into the mind of others, communication with animals Woo Hooo! Cool! push me to the limit and maybe i'll even turn schizo! =P

Hey! this website is quite fun...

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it. That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power! The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism. You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world. Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in. You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you? You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways. Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you. As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

okay...tv beckons...

i go i go i go!

Alrighty...the exams have finally ended...the pea is happy to play again...

A friend said that itz always impt to be confident....I agree...one way or another...
I am very confident....confirm 'buang' this exam...heh heh....ah well....at least I gave it a shot. There's much to be said about just trying something...u'd never know eh?
I've just packed up the textbooks neatly...can sell liao since I won't be needing them anymore.
***Lelong lelong! half price!...very nice!***

Feeling kinda tired today...itz amazing how much energy is zapped just sitting arnd drinking kopi...heh heh...maybe itz the 2nd hand smoke we had to endure since we cheapo didn't wanna give starbucks biz so just sat outside at a nice shaded breezy corner. But as always, itz gd to catch up w gd friends...talk cock laugh alot...

In today's modern high tech world....it sometimes can be rather annoying when I come home to discover that not only is my home located in a very ulu part of the island (going home after a full day out is always a real royal pain the ass) I also live in the ice ages...where cable tv is unheard of (luckily I'm not a soccer fan) and when I turn on the printer to print something...inevitably the cartidge runs outta ink...urgh!!! murphy strikes...

oh well...better rest up early...going on a road bike trip early in the morning...where it involves several vehicles....a bumboat ride....getting off at a ulu jetty in an unheard of place across the straits and cycling dunno how far to get to this 'ming fo qi shi' dam good chee cheong fan place for breakfast... think i'm the only one on a modified mountain-road bike borrowed from a kind dive buddy (this acknowledgement on my much read and revered blog shld secure me future access to his bike..heh heh =P ) coz my own bike cannot make it......only hope i can keep up enough so that I won't just have their dust trails to keep me company on my lonesome ride...

salah bus stop...

couple more days to go...tahan tahan...at least m outta the office for 3 days...can sleep in abit later in the mornings....ahhhhh...simple joys of life...

studying sux big time....chilling out tonite....will hit the books 2mr....studying...is like training for a sports event.....itz all abt pacing ! (as if i wld know..heh)

on a more entertaining (for 'some' pple in the know) and annoying (for me) note....got this fella suddenly dam 'frenly' loh.....whole day send me boh liao emails and look for chance to ask qns...if i ignore then i appear unfrenly....but if i answer then might give salah idea and encourage unwanted attention....then like dat how la....? si buay difficult to cho lang....
Really 'salah bus stop' is all i can say....coz if i say more then i really super bitch liao...
I can only hope that the "Jie Jie"(taaa maaa de) that started this can go nip the problem in the bud then case closed...

what to do....mei li wo fa dang....ke ke ke ke ke......***peng san***

Happy plastic...itz fantastic?!

plastic...credit cards....makes shopping more convenient...also cause alot of pple alot of heartache if not handled w prudence...

plastic....surgery.....makes alot of girls look like barbie dolls brought to life....makes men drool and go weak in the knees? but what does it really do? ego booster or self esteem destroyer?
what makes a fren go thru' double eyelid surgery? or an already beautiful lady go thru' a face lift...? it makes me wonder.....they "are" or rather "were" already good looking ....but somehow they didn't think it was enough..........lasik i can understand.....life is less cumbersome without having to fumble for glasses or contact lenses.....but to willingly go thru' the pain and risk of surgery? i don't get it...

maybe they look in the mirror and they see beauty....i look at them and i actually feel sad for them...a fren has once teased me n called me "shallow" coz any guy i meet gotta pass my 'eye scan criteria' 1st..ha...but then again ...i'm lookg at the au naturale, god given appearance mah...nothing wrong w that what.....wldn't want some artificially beefed up, botoxed injected dude oso mah...so itz not double standard....itz P's consistent standards..arrr haa haaa.....

ok....enough nonsense....bedtime......countdown... 1 wk to freedom! can't wait....

man and body...

today my cousin got married.....dad's side cousin....see her at most once or twice a yr type....
so off we went to attend yet another wedding dinner...boring right? wrong....tis was more drama then i expected...

as the dinner started late...we were feelg quite hungry already...at least the couple had some frenz who could really sing so there was some real nice entertainment.....while most we craning their necks to see the stage and enjoy the performance, low and behold i literally saw my dad roll and fall off his chair!...wah lau eh! peng san attack #2!

mum was at his side at an instant, and so were a couple of relatives....helped him up to the chair and let him rest for awhile....face was darn pale....breathing was short......body was breaking out in cold sweat.....scary shit......after awhile he recovered enuff to tell everyone to continue to eat ...mumbled itz embarrasing ....soon made a trip to the loo....but came back complaining that he felt very cold...and could see he was shivering......
not a gd sign....we left ....got the hotel doorman's help...jump taxi queue....mum went w dad to hospital while i went to get the car and slowly weave thru' the orchard road jam...

this is the 2nd attack in 3mths.........1st time was scarier coz we thot he was having a heart attack...this time arnd...not so panicky....but still v worrying....
Despite all the technological/medical advances...itz puzzling when they still can't tell you for sure what is wrong exactly.....all the vital signs are ok......so itz back to the 'inner ear imbalance' again...so yet another apptm to see the specialist this wk..

The human body....more than the sum of itz individual parts....so complex yet works without us even trying...so strong yet so fragile....just one small particle dislodged in the inner ear to wreck havoc on the entire system.....so hard to fathom......

i also dunno why i can't drink....my mum can't either......looks like my dad has to lay off it as well.....he had some beer on a v empty stomach and that probably didn't help.....i think maybe itz genetic.......i've got an anti-alcohol gene....maybe someone shld fund a research to pinpoint the gene and cultivate it.........so can administer to those recovering alcoholics...just one jab of this and you'll lay off drinks for sure! think it'll be much more effective than AA.....

jokes aside...gotta take care of our health...with it all things are possible....

who yanked the stopper from the sink?

today dam shack.......effects of not enough sleep......
feel like machiam a sink like dat.....somebody yanked out the stopper and all the energy all kena zapped out....wanna collapse into bed n sleep for 24hrs...but alas still gotta work 2mr....

afternn kena 'scanned' again.......she came back from lunch and say 'didn't get to eat'.........i was like 'huh? why never eat?"
then she say "no no...what i mean is never get to eat with you guyz"........i dunno what to say.....just mumbled somethg like 'neh-mind one mah'........some just don't get it........

maybe I am just mean...but really too tired to entertain pple i really dun bother with during my precious lunch hr....feel like it'll be v fake to make small talk and 'get to know you' kinda shit.......

which is worse? being a bitch or being a hypocrite?
i prefer the former....at least itz honest.......

Losing my marbles?

think i might be losing it...

this aftn...walk into bathroom intending to wash my face (coz eyes kept closing while staring at textbook...thot some soap & water might help wake me up)
...picked up the toothbrush and started brushing my teeth instead..only realised it like 3/4ways thru'....like snapped back into reality...like what the fish was i doing?

quite scary sometimes...must b how amnesia patients feel...i'd better start taking some gingko biloba/lingzhi/soy lecithin stuff....heard it helps with mental capabilities...i'm afraid i might be aging faster than i'm comfortable with...whole of this week darn lethargic siah...(could be the zero exercise also la i suppose)

on the bright side, was chatting with an ex-collg and she thot i was born in 1980.....***teee hee hee*** well....for the record i thot she looked 4yrs younger than she is too...
which reminds me..gotta pester a certain someone for my SKII "t-oink t-oink" miracle water...heh heh...

ah yes...another thing...got a wedding invite to a dive fren's big day...think they all know me so well as pea....cldn't even spell my real name right...2nd wedding invite in 2wks liao that got it salah...1st one still can forgive...dun know him that well...but scums ah...wah lau....boh sim siah....

ah well.....i'm not getting younger...skin's not getting better.....my frens can't remember my real name.......but hey at least I have clean teeth...=)
we make the best outta life eh?

so long and thanks for all the (general?) fish

ah....nothing like a good weekend out diving and eating...where i look all arnd and all i see is the endless span of the sea...raffles place seems so far awayyy...darn nice feeling siah...

the kaleebso...we went ...armed with a couple of dvds but alas the player was broken, thank goodness for our resident, ultra talented hokkien speaking organiser...had us all in stiches with his powderful hokkien translations of excerpts of 'angels n demons' and '10 sex truths from some girly magazine'...(pen hai zi also contributed by shoving articles under fata's nose for him to read...)
much betta than scary movie 3 i'd think!!!.....

ah...tis gd to be a paying customer on the kaleebso...the food surpasses expectations of any liveabd...the company is great...and the diving is purely optional...=P

now that we're back to reality...time really does fly when u r having fun...or in my case nuah-ing...tis time to start thinkg of next destination so as to give us the motivation to get to work and make some moolah to fund the next expedition...since this week toto 'ko leng bo tio ley'...=(

Helpdesk..can i haptchu?

today ah…really feel like IT helpdesk…..received countless calls from my collg from the middle east callg to enquire abt stuff…stuff like how to see my client’s portfolio loan/cash/purchases figure in the system har?.....what...…I from IT dept is it?
I only thank my lucky stars this fella still not of the super-tongue-rolling sub-species so at least still can understand him perfectly. Otherwise ah…confirm ‘puuu hui’…

Then as if not time consuming enuff...collg from HK oso email askg why the system calculation logic so cock....can change or not?....HELLLOOOOOOOO....!!!!!!
"WAH MENG SI IT DEPT EH LA!"

and this is on top of the usual scanning and questions i've got to endure from our darling new... not young but act cute contract girl...try to be frenly and ask me silly qns like do i speak Jap and i take CFA for what ar?...i say for 'song' loh (pple usu take exam for fun is it? use ur brain use ur brain!!!)...in mind cursing n swearing la...so whatz new right...=P
okay..so i'm a bitch..but i hate it when she hangs arnd my desk when obviously i've got nothing for her to do and the sarcastic words i use to chase her away so she won't stand there and stare at my screen only works for an interval of perhaps 15mins before she's back again...

so in all yet another long full day ....thot can go home relak one corner...watch my CSI in peace right? WRONG....papa pea see me walk in the door only hurry up tell me his computer repair liao...but the internet connection not workg..can i 'FIX IT'...when i've got time.? time? where got time? find time la....
haiz....IT dept wonder pea have to do O.T...

Super survivor goldie!

Nothing much to blog about but I did come across this article which caught my attention:...so cute! i oso wannn.....=P

Super Survivor Goldie!

AC out..scanner in?

it finally happened....anal collg has left the bldg...under less than favorable circumstances... what can I say...thatz the unpredictability of life.
Tho' I can't say that I will miss him, I think the treatment was pretty unjust...
On top of that we had a entire division dinner at the ritz scheduled on the very same night...coincidence? I think not.

So now I dun anyone to bitch abt at work anymore right?....wrong.....
the REPLACEMENT is here and she's alot more annoying...Aptly nick-named 'the scanner' by yours truly...she has a built-in motion detector....twitch a muscle and u'll feel her instant "rays" locked in for a direct hit...

I feel like stacking up loads of stuff on my desk so I won't have to see her face...but i think only a lead wall will do the trick....or then again...those who have offered to get me my sledgehammer...pls continue with ur purchases...i might still need it...=P

granted we have no complaints with her work so far..she's a fast learner and does her work quite ok...i really don't know which is worse...anal collg who was darn slow but kept outta ur hair...or jumpy spider here who finishes her tasks real fast and sticks her face into ur space?...

again i lament....whatz wrong with these people???????????????

borrowed time...

Just coupla days ago, some 29yr old dude collapsed at his desk and died of heart failure...got me thinking...is it something in our food/water? why are pple dropping like flies? There has been several cases just in the past few months alone...
Is it our diet? our lifestyle? somethg lying dormant but inherent in our genes?

Life is short definitely and we'll never know when the rug will be yanked out from under us...Live life to the fullest? Easier said then done, the day-to-day grind gets to the best of us....The best we can do is to strike a balance, betw what we want to do and what we need to do...

Looking back, sometimes i think i might have done some things differently...or maybe not....but by and large i think i pretty much have no regrets...life is definitely too short for that. I can't say I've achieved success or greatness...but I can say i've spent quality time/effort in building things that mean more at the end of the day....r'ships...friendships...with family and friends

Read the autobiography of any fella who has 'made it' in life...they won't regret the additonal million dollar deal they missed...but if they could turn back time, most would want to devote more attention to the pple who matter...

I feel that this year is flying by real fast...itz already the end of April before you know it...I don't know...maybe itz just age...rmbr how when we were kids...time seemed to crawl by...and hey whaddaya know...itz past midnite and already the start of another day.....which i will begin by crashing into bed....ha....

Why do I love thee...let me count the ways

Adex weekend...looks like it's getting to be a really popular sport judging by the hordes of people that thronged the exhibition on sat. Like woahhh.....since when did s'pore have so many divers? If you didn't know better you'd might have mistaken it to be yet another travel show.
I ended up just doing a quick walk arnd and headed out for some food and shopping..ha..

My lil' writings made it to print...reproduced here for my fans' benefit..heh...
I'm contemplating a career change...think anyone will hire me as a full fledged writer? =P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Escape
"I'm dreaming...
jumping into the inviting waters of the deep blue sea.

Where I feel intensely alive
Where I hear nothing but the sound of my breath and steadily beating heart
Where I feel the cool of the water against my skin
Where I am in awe of the abundance of the creator
Where there is only beauty in the wild, weird and wonderful creatures
Where the worldly woes fade away
Where the pace is comfortable
Where I drift along lovely landscapes
Where the company is great
Where strangers become friends
Where mantas dance and dolphins play.

Today, tomorrow, some time soon
It is time to dream again."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone needs an escape...an outlet...diving is mine...and sometimes blogging helps ..esp since I can't exactly head out to sea every wkend and get my fix of compressed air....

Didn't get much reading done this wkend...haiz....lookg fwd to kaleebso...need a break need a break need a break...i'm getting very restless...

mindless rantings...

Aahhh…the nice long wkend has come n gone….too soon…too fast….
Now that the season to be thankful is over…time to bitch again…heh heh...
Eh…what is these two bumps I feel on my head…budding horns maybe? Hmmm…=P

Ystd was doing some packg of files in office when collg asked me if I was okay....say I quite ‘men men bu le’……..but I was feelg ok really…..just not v motivated thatz all….and as I thot abt it I think I was in need of another break la…I usually need a break after 2-3mths of work….think itz more healthy for my mind/soul that way.

Anyways…I felt i kinda mellowed for a coupla days but that "A"-collg of mine is grating on my nerves again….whole day so kanchiong spider type…storm here n there….
8 outta 10 times walk behind me will either kick my wastepaper basket…or whack my chair …..just today he nearly tripped over 2ce….wah lau eh…….like walk properly la….where the hell u rushing to? Not say he can get a lot of stuff done in 1hr la…so?
Best words to describe it? "chi chok lok kio"....sorry...only the hokkien folk will understand...

Everytime he hits some obstacle in work...he'll get super mang zhang and start jabbing at the keyboard...the more he try to speed up the more mang zhang he gets.....and the poor pea here feel like taking out the huge sledgehammer i shld keep under my desk and whack him unconscious...and save us all from the misery...

doesn't help that he always chooses the evening time to run into some obstacle...such that we gotta kinda hang arnd and wait for him to finish so that we can all do our day-end stuff and go home....think this week already happen on 2days (and itz only wed) when i could easily have gone home earlier if not for him...

best part is...the feedback from him was that he's quite happy working here (of course la..so lil' work...soooo much time to do right?...) and he has no inkling of our collective 'bu man' with him...well sometimes ignorance is really bliss i suppose...

Bliss...i need more of it...the cool, calm n collected one is beginning not to feel cool, calm n collected....hmmmm...think maybe i shld take up yoga ?
Nah...think i shld invest in sledgehammer...the effects are faster n more long lasting...=P

I thank thee...

hmmm...gd friday...long wkend...goodie goodie...we all can do with more time for ourselves.

In the spirit of the season, I was caught in a rather reflective mood. I realise I am very grateful for my great, wonderful and generous friends...

fatdix...not just generous in girth(applies to only 1/2 of that partnership =P ) but also in feeding /leading us to wholesome, hearty meals...for the countless batalong express rides....for letting me rip their amazing collection of cds...

my trusty gal-frenz who are always just a phonecall away when i need company to hang out with or just a listening ear to bitch into...

my colleagues who have become my friends...it's an amazing synergy we've got going...this kind of camaradarie is rarely seen in any workplace. From mama S who cares for each of our well being as if she really was our mother. To my other colleagues who are always generous in dishing out the jokes, some of which are at my expense...(tis ok...as long as you guyz happy...i happy.) it makes the mundane more tahan-able and the days more pleasant.

well... for my other friends...m also very generous...here's your chance to offer to send me home so as to chope a place in pea's rolodex of 'modern and wildly wondeful' friends...haha....still can't get over my silly neighbour's comment laa...

lastly i'm also very grateful for the toto $2mil prize money that i'm going to strike..;P
***amen***

Impressions...

this morning quite funny...

mama pea tried talkg to neighbour to warn her of a recent robbery case that happened a few doors away.
But this neighbour ah...is one of those that has not acquired the art of listening...she was busy going off tangent on another more pertinent issue.

in short...she was busy telling my mum about my mum's "very modern and wild daughter". =O
mama pea was quite bemused and later related the story to me and said "wah lau, my modern and wild daughter's reputation so good ah"...heh heh...

specifically this kay-p-oh neighbour mentioned my wild motorbike fren (jo jo..haha..) and got sportscar (this one i blur, dun rmbr any frenz with sportscar...she might have seen treng's sporty? suzuki swift parked out front) so by association ...trengi is also modern and wild! hahaha....dat'll be joke of the year...heh...=P

so anyway...it made for a rather entertaining breakfast joke...even papa pea was quite tickled...he said "this type of pple ah..surely cannot tak chek one...imagine teacher teach somethg her mind dunno go which direction...always off tangent)

Assholic addictions

Most pple are familar with the term "Alcoholic"

Here's my take on "Assholism"...

Definition:
Assholism is the compulsive addiction to being and/or acting like an ass. Some believe it to be a biological disease.

Effects:
The assholic conditions may have impact upon physical, occupational, marital, educational, and other areas of function. The condition can be lifelong but can be sometimes treated through ongoing therapy accompanied by attendance at self-help meetings.

In general, we see them everywhere, everyday in our lives. The severity of the disease varies from person to person.

Lest some start to think that I'm refering to someone in particular, I'm not.
The fella mentioned in my prior posts is plain clueless...he suffers from "Duh"-holism...not to be confused with assholism...
Assholics do stuff with intent to annoy/irritate. Duh-holics on the other hand, just can't help themselves, they are just being.

=P

Part Deux...

fri nite...we v evil...msn each other to meet up for dinner after work...and all of us the acting dam steady...

Collg 1: i gotta go, see ya guyz monday!...the rest of us:"ok, bye!"
10mins later...
Collg 2 = me :" ok! i chao liao...bubbye!"
Collg 3 = ok ok..bye! u go off first, i still need to go toilet...

Anal Collg = oblivious, still frowning at his computer screen, dunno doing what.

Act 2:
All went downstairs thru the bldg back door by the river...3 of us grinning like guilty jokers...
dinner and drinks and superbly entertaining "unfiltered" conversations at boat quay...

2) When another collg does part of the work for him and hands over to him...he will actually redo the entire thing again?

ok...bitch kao liao...

THE END.

tongue twister....V

"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vangquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."


Vvvvvvvvvfwah! =O
is this cheem or what?
to appreciate it's true tongue twisting qualities...watch the show and listen to Hugo Weaving's delivery...

Heart matters...

It's been a real draining and drama mama day...

Got woken up at 5.45am in the morning, opened my room door to find my dad lying on the staircase landing, looking pale and complaining of breathlessness, giddiness and slight pain. Mum looked worried like shit...called ambulance and rushed to hospital. We all thought it was prob. a minor heart attack.

After some tests and waiting arnd for awhile, dad was discharged and thankfully doc say definitely nothing to do with the heart....***phew*** so now scheduled for another checkup.

Made it to work at 10am, thankfully I have great colleagues and a new but seemingly understanding boss.

Weird vibes going arnd the whole day at work...finally kena called one by one into mtg room to chat with HR/Boss/Bosses' boss....wah....so serious siah....but at least they are finally doing SOMETHG abt the low morale and stuff...letz hope whatever feedback we gave will TRANSLATE into dollars n cents...ultimately, thatz what we r all working for.

ah well...thank goodness the weekend is here!....=)
I believe in miracles....thatz why i buy toto...

to longer wkends...

time flies....wkend's over AGAIN!....running arnd the island last 2days ...from woodlands to changi to bukit timah....wah....tired siah...

sooooooooooo reluctant for another work week to start.....haiz...........wldn't it be great if the typical, accepted work style wld be to work 2yrs...break for 6mths...then work 2yrs again? that'll b a gd cycle to have i'd say! (hmmm...this will be another bill i shall propose? heh )

ok...the wk's taken itz toll...gotta sleep gotta sleep gotta sleep....

seems like itz getting harder and harder...i look arnd me and all my frenz seem to be working harder...putting in longer hours for much the same...? what gives?
Is it me or was it really alot easier just 5yrs ago? hmmmm? had alot more free time then and work was shit loads lighter mann....

ah well...a girl can only dream...=)

mind over matter...matter for the mind?

Phew! so glad itz done!
Still recovering from flu/cough/blocked sinuses/si mi wah ko oso have ailment.
Hadta wake up bright and early today and trudge downtown to the biz district to sit for my test.

All they allowed in the room was my ic and calculator (huh? didn't know i needed a calculator for the test!?!) So hadta kinda like prevent my nose from running away whilst trying to focus on the bright computer screen(my eyesight is getting worse, the words appear blurry even up close) and complete the darn 100 qns.

Glad to say i managed to pull thru twice today! =) I'm shmart...what can i say..hee hee....***pat on the back***
Actually the test not difficult la...but sitting thru it while having this floaty...heady feeling can be quite challenging...so glad to be finally home...

Using up all that brain juice has made me sleepy...ok...think i can manage another hr or so....watch CSI then crash...back to work 2mr...=(

music for the soul

It's such a joy to be able to take the mrt this morning and not have Bono fade to an annoying static when the train goes into the tunnel...

"It's a beautiful dayyyyy
Don't let it get awayyyy
It's a beautiful dayyyyy"

(actually i dun hv this song yet...will pay a visit to princess/fata soon..heh heh...)

Ahhhh...such simple joys....

ba guan yang qi tong?

***sigh*** another long and tiring day...

today got a strange call from an ex-collg i haven't seen in over 2yrs...asking me if i'm still diving coz his fren from overseas (taiwan probably) just relocated to singapore and would like to go diving? I look like walking travel agent is it? >=[

So i just ask abit here and there ...like how experienced a diver is his fren (i expected him to tell me either open water or advance type) ...his answer was :"wo peng you shuo...ta yi jing yong le 8 guan yang qi tong"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
duh.....translation: this dude has used only 8 tanks of air so is still a newbie ...

er...call me selfish but i ain't into taking care of no newbie on my precious leisure trips! and i wldn't pan off someone i dun even know to my trusty garang frenz either. We all work far too hard and all deserve our well earned breaks in peace! right guyz? ;}
