Just when i thought, ahhh..finally back home...can try to eat abit of snake for the last week of work in this present dept...it's been a hectic week, could do with some down time..... I got a call on fri evening at 7pm to ask me to go over to HK again next week! DAMN!
Last week in HK, it was a holiday on thur so i earned one day off...but this coming week, thur is a holiday in S'pore but NOT in HK, so i gotta pay back that one day....nabei...i can't win with this company la...itz v annoying...
I don't know which is worse, the thought of having to work on a s'pre holiday or the thought of having to check in to that damn screwed up place again....u know what? i think the latter takes the cake.
I really hope that book lao pa was reading is true...june 6th is the date to look fwd to...for after that date....all ye dragons will hv a fantastic time!
The recent case of sudden death reported in the papers, of a 29yr old guy who is rather well known in the local music industry is v sad. Turns out my folks play golf with his folks n they are rather good friends, so i think it's rather close to home in a way. Mum was tellg me about it when they fetched me from the airport, the boy was working very hard on a upcoming project and was very stressed out, can imagine family's pain n loss, and all i can think of is that life is so precious n fragile, somethings are just not worth it... so guess have to live a balanced life...and learn when to say enough is enough so f off...haa..

KNNBCCB shama
my hk trip has not been smooth thus far.
sequence of events:
day1
- 5min trip to changi airport, very smooth, when i got out of the car, i realised i was leaving a trail of white rubber. My arseluck in choosing a pair of shoes that i hv not worn in over 2yrs and no checking the base which was basically too brittle.
So after check in gotta go buy charles & keith sandal, quite kok.
-flight to HK, rather smooth, in my clumsiness i accidentally flicked some butter onto someone's laptop, lucky he busy eating neh see, i also heng my reflexes quite fast, hurry up wipe off and pretend nothing happen,continue eating....
-reach HK, customs queue, taxi queue all dam long, took me almost 2hrs to reach service aptm. While waiting got a call from s'pore office secretary saying that the stoopid farking hotel pple went to email my office and cc my farking big boss in hk that 2 of my friends hv checked in and are staying with me. All i blardi told them to do was to allow them to put luggage in the room 1st. Imagine how bad this looks. fucking upset for the rest of the day, cldn't even eat dinner properly, kept thinking wat the hell gonna happen 2mr.
day2
-got up dam early coz basically didn't sleep all that well, got ready, took a cab to work.
old groucy taxi driver didn't understand me and i had to call my collg for help in translation.
- thankfully big farking boss was in big farking london, so i didn't have to deal with it face to face, just dropped him an email and all was clear. think it was just blew way out of proportion la...
-Cursing at the shama svc aptm pple was v apt, don't believe 'top' chains handle things like dat loh, they cld've at least had the decency to wait for me to arrive to clarify things.
-had some gd company for dinner with hilarious thai stand up comedy act by pegs...
-chilling out at her plc as i make use of lao pa's laptop n peg's broadband connection.
1more work day to go then hopefully will have enough time for some shopping ..
what can i say...i do not like HK...=(

Ah Di ah!
A normal lazy saturday, nuah until hungry so walk to the outside kopitiam to buy lunch.5min walk out...5min walk back...no need to dress up for sure.
Q up to buy 'teh peng' to quench the afternoon thirst, the drinks' stall auntie in her fervour to serve fast fast..barely glanced at me and asked 'ah di yao she mer'?
I pretend neh hear the 1st part of the question and gave her my order while looking at her straight in the eye. think she felt bad la after she look properly....ha...i was more amused than insulted. Got me thinking on my 5min walk home...was it my short hair? was it my happening army print bermudas? I think it's time for a change...i think i need to grow my hair out long...=P

where's the justice?
Just when i think i've accepted things and am more or less at peace w the situation and am moving forward.
I find out by chance that the irritating bugger has told yet another person that his bonus has hit 6figures. Don't these pple ever learn the meaning of the word 'humble' or that you can't 'buy' friends? or that respect is not earned n measured by how great u r trying to tell pple u r?
Worse still, where's the fucking justice if the HR can give him so much, and deny me my measely peanut dust for last yr????? Ni nabu la.
Neh mind, can only tell myself that only good things will come to me and my friends...
I am told today that i need to 'do them a favour' n fly myself to HK to do handover to a new fella. Such is the kok-ness of this plc, sign n charge away i shall, since it sure ain't going into my pocket na?

Bottles of Solo care solution and unused focus dailies (500 degrees) to give away..anybody?? heh

debrief
realised a coupla things over last week.
1) boys can and probably are more sampat n gossipy than girls. the only difference is, they can gossip and shoot very succint questions at the subject of the gossip who is present in their midst.
girls generally will give face and only gossip behind the subject's back.
2) Mary's food still lives up to standards, and I feel hungry just thinking about the goreng pisangs and ngoh hiang rolls...yum...
3) Met up with a fren i haven't caught up with for awhile and she passed me 'the secret'...good reminder of all the stuff that I know and should be using but have lost sight of along the way.
4) Take home quote from Spidey 3 :"For all the things that life throws at us, there's always a choice".
5) If all else fails, when i grow old and wrinkled, I have a couple who will gladly totter around and watch tv with me (esp porn channels 304-309?) and laugh at the subtitles until our false teeth drop out. It's part sad...part reassuring ...don't know how else to describe it man...

Hard day's work
oh...it's been a long n testy week...nothing like some good ole' exercise to release the pent up frustration and get my mind off things by tiring myself out.
If I were a cat...I probably look like this...the 'pose' says it all...shack out manz!!!....life is good for this cat it seems...taking a catnap next to the aromatic vapours of changi village's famous nasi lemak stall...it must be in kitty heaven...
Feeling slightly more hopeful now that i've had the weekend to ponder things through, pray for me my friends...we all could do with a lil' divine help.

storm before the calm?
Looking out of my office window, the color of the sky matches my mood for the last few days...cloudy, black and potentially stormy...told off a collg who i got dam irritated with. to his question asking me for lunch so he can try to pry more info, my response was
:" I think i hv gd reason not to be in the best of moods right now, and to be honest with you that I'd rather not sit there and NOT answer your questions, so i'd pass on lunch if u can understand why."
not very fierce la (since when i ever scold pple) but i think i got the message across....
i can only grin and bear it and act like everything's fine and dandy...which by me is darn hard to do....at this age, i am even thinking of playing truant(coz i never did much of it back in school days)...it's pathetic...and it just goes to show the level of resentment in my lil' heart...

to be or not to be....
current plc Pluses:
Mostly boh zeng hu, no one hounds me for stuff or breathes down my neck
better rewards coz it's supposed to be a front trading position
I'm getting used to the nature of the job n the systems involved
current plc Minuses:
boring environment
Uncertain future
Annoyance at mgmt for dragging feet abt impt stuff (my money!!!)
Annoyance at myself for kena bluff coz i didn't clarify when i joined
Annoyance at doing work that is not reflected by my position
Annoyance at silly magic mushroom muffins eating counterparts who make my job harder
Annoyance at the lack of direction
Annoyance at the blurring of lines
General annoyance la!
Staring at 4screens not doing my eyesight any good...
Incongruency ...that's the word...i can't describe it anyway else....i feel like it ain't really what i shld be doing ( i shld be tai tai enjoying in bahamas on toto winnings..hee)
new plc pluses
'perceived' better environment...coz already know the pple and culture
So will largely still be a boh si mi zeng hu style...
if they can give me more moolah..of course betta la
i think at most 2 screens only.
new plc minuses
step back into that area then forget abt moving front again, right now not sure what i prefer
no chance of getting big big bonus
potentially long hours
certainty of me complaining abt stuff after settling in if i choose to go...just gimme a mth or two..
there is no one perfect solution...but there are always choices to be made...so what will it be
there are experiments done that proof that given 5secs or 5mins or 5days...we'll still come back to the same gut feeling instant decision...
i shall keep an open mind n go find out more 1st then say...

as wide as u can.....
had my lasik eye checkup yesterday....
throughout the examination, they keep telling me to 'open your eyes as wide as you can...wider..more...wider..."
after a few attempts you'd think that they will realise that it is not the case where I am not coorperating but rather i simply cannot.
I have lazy eye and lazy eyelid syndrome...it's "consistent" if u know what i mean =P ...plus modern ang moh equipment is not really tailored for slitty asian eyes...i had to resort to holding my eyelid up with my lil' index finger.
so it's set.....gonna do it next month...hope all goes well...

what do u make of this
i've been told that by reading someone's blog, you get a sense of that person.
Of what is said and unsaid, read between the lines, is this person proud? happy? cynical? ashamed? hiding behind a mask? a zi lian kuang? slightly deranged? simple? complicated?
or like me just plain ol' in need of a super long long holiday ...should do the take three weeks off back to back thing i did 2yrs ago...or even better take a even longer break when i strike toto? Ah...in life all we need is hope!
with that in mind i was thinkg about my friends' masterpieces....one runs like there's no 2mr...another posts pic of himself for himself to look at(did i mention zi lian kuang?)......one sits on the royal throne in the bathroom and comes up with philosophical stuff...one takes pictures of pretty flowers and gives thanks to her ex-bf among other things....one likes to wax lyrical on all things political......one complains abt life and love and work and not striking toto....well that's just what they write about...but who are they really? gotta read betw the lines....and i'm glad i've got this varied assortment of kakis...makes my life more interesting too...
so pray tell...what do you read from here? heh..=P

broken
what happens when I leave the window open and go out?the wind blows strongly when it rains or the little birdies outside decide to hop in for a snook around?
i come home to discover that it's broken =(
i've had it with me for almost 10yrs...now all shattered in bits and pieces on the floor...it's not spectacularly beautiful but it was a nice & sweet gift.... now it's place is in the bin...irrepairable....irreplaceable...lost...gone....

windows to the soul?
It's been a long work week...getting more n more tired as each day passes.
Not looking fwd to the next 2 wks...feel a headache coming on just thinking about it...shackadoodoo...
Made an apptm to go for lasik evaluation, see if i'm suitable or not...i suspect my degree not stable enough and the nature of my work my not help either...friends tell me might lose contrast...lasik effects may not be permanent (esp. if continue staring at 4screens daily) ...then there are those who've done it and say it's so liberating, best thing they've done, such a joy to throw all the contact lens/solutions/specs away..........we'll see how it goes...undecided as yet.....test already then say........can get 5days mc wor!! .....isn't sad when the prospect of getting mc to rest sounds good? hiaz...
thank god for the wkend again...if only sat/sun lasts longer....

Good read..
Just finished chapter 1, 35pages out of a very thick 933 pages novel and am liking it already. It's promising to be one of those darn good reads we come across once in a long long time...
It's been awhile since i've been so entertained. wish i can hole up in some remote resort for 3days and read it straight through.
i thought this was quite well put:
The past reflects eternally between two mirrors - the bright mirror of words and deeds, and the dark one, full of things we didn't do or say.

a rather long rant...
coupla things got me thinking this wkend...
a fren asked me a v succinct question
Q:" what do you do best?"
A:" er..'nothing?' ha!"
Q:" which other industry would your skills be easily transferable to?"
A:" ***blank*** :-
it didn't help that my nagging headache wldn't go away and i actually started to feel abit nauseous after awhile....didn't wana do a merlion so thot better go home swallow panadol and lie down for awhile...heh...felt much better after an hour or so.
am almost thru with a dalai lama book "the art of happiness at work"....well i wldn't say it gave much insight, more of reinforcement of what i already knew deep down inside...
maybe i'd b more satisfied working as a vet's assistant for 1/3 my current pay? anybody know any generous/kind hearted vets who will let me muck arnd and learn the ropes even tho' i ain't got the requisite papers? maybe i'll hang in my job for a year and do this totally different thing as a break...maybe i can do it on my wkends even now? hmm..
maybe i'd feel better if i got lasik done and i can actually see better and not constantly have this focusing problem (4 screens at work sure doesn't help with stabilising myopia)..it's starting to get to me.
maybe i'd have more fun if i had a doggie which i can name mugly (as in the laughing dog in the hanna babara cartoon)...but itz really too much work, so maybe i'll just play with other people's pets and pretend m the happy owner for the day. maybe i shld get myself a rich guy to pay for all my whims and fancies..heh..ya right...=P
sun nite, the end of the weekend, i rested well (tho' i feel i can rest somemore) , i got marinated and it felt ooh sooo gd (i should do this everyweek)
feeling rather hopeful ... in the grand scheme of things, i have it quite gd...
altho' m rather certain this feeling will fade come a few hrs into monday ...*bleah*...

magic muffins?
smoking too much magic mushrooms make your brains turn to mush...how i know? coz i have to work with some of these idiots...it figures if you can have magic mushroom muffins easily in the country, most of the kids would grow up abit 'off'...and not all muffins r created equal, so some are definitely more 'off' then others...
~ yet another random nonsensical bitching session by pea ~
wanted to blog this on clubnarc but somehow doesn't work .... so unfrenly...=(

no sign of labour..
walking down busy orchard road on a saturday.....2 dudes walking along...nothing unusual about it...look closely at the words on the white t-shirt.
Unless my sekolah has upped the age limit and introduced foreign talents to their 'vjc tennis' squad, I think this dude has taken recycling to another level...unless i 'wo huei' and this fella is actually the coach? hmm..could b oso hor?

Free
I applaude my enterpreneur fren, jia you jia you, you will succeed big big!
Luck and fortune favours the brave and well prepared.
I think can be rather brave, but currently I don't have a plan and hence am not prepared.
The restlessness is growing, the tu-lan-ness was probably written all over my face the past 2days prompting my collg to ask me:"ey, if u hv other plans, must tell me ok? don't quietly quietly ah..."
You can imagine my regret when i reply :"boh la, si mi plan, boh plan (yet) la"
How i wish my answer was different.
Corrinne may resonates with her tune:
" I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place (<---very very impt siah)
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains " (<-- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
In another tune she pleads:
"I promise you
The answer will come
Hold on to patience
And watch for the signs (<-- my eyes n ears n heart r wide open)
Everything in it's time
Everything in it's time"

sotong cuttlefish & lighted asses
oh ya...our dive boat crew jumped in the water and used his bare arms to scoop this ill-fated cuttlefish....was on the surface and king treng spotted it...think it became the boatcrew's dinner...it's the size of the pail lor... we also went to see fireflies (ok ok quite sua ku) but did i didn't realise that on closer inspection, the lil' insects look like like mini ca-chuak's with lighted ass...quite interesting...no pictures tho' as they are quite camera shy...tho' the whole bunch of them on a tree was a delightful sight...maybe thatz where the concept of christmas tree lights came about?

aye aye red eye...
Today at cityhall mrt ...quite drama...got this uncle who was feeling unwell and sweating profusely and could hardly stand properly...some commuters helped support him and led him to sit down, i went to get station ctrl staff but someone already told them and they rushed to his aid. Not sure what happened next guess they'd probably call an ambulance, hope the guy is alright. I jumped on the next train for my long journey home.
my eyes are smarting from all the screen staring the past 4days at work...and i hv broken capillaries in my left eye coz i rubbed too hard one zonked out night...so look literally quite blood shot and shack....
sooo glad it's the weekend.....it's been a long week...from nearly missing our flight in philippines on sun (we made it amazing race style) to long hours grudgingly hitting the daily grind....

my grainy whaleshark video
watch n listen carefully and u can hear the heavy breathing that accompanies the shooting of the video, and you will get a sense of how 'siong' and 'chuan' it is to swim after the gentle beast.

The Daily Grind
The Daily Grind = a nice aromatic cup of kopi
The Daily Grind also = Dragging myself thru a numbing day at work.
So far everyday I need my cup of daily grind to get me thru' the daily grind.
Didn't used to depend on kopi, but now functioning on caffiene from mondays to fridays.
For weekends tho', surprisingly no need, like now, enjoying my cup of caffeine free vanilla honey camomile drink. relax relax shiok shiok...
Can also see i obviously quite boh-liao, but then again my frenz say must have picture, then more interesting..

dollars & sense
today happen to take mrt home w a few colleagues from other dept...some of them got their bonus letter....apparently all comes w minor pay adjustments...

I know who the stingy poker is...fatso in HK....somemore heard that my division got pay freeze this yr....lagi sai! what logic....
after hearing some news hear n there, m beginning to think that the pple making decisions here ah...oso function like the screwed up mgmt at the alumni...if i they dun pay out this time, it'll be worse next yr....hired a few more big-pay-cheque-all talk-but cannot work fatsos who being hungry big fatsos will eat up major share of MY pie!! >=( this deal ain't wat i signed up for!
my grandpapa(may he rest in peace) used to say in hokkien "zhap ey bui ey wu gao ey gong eh"....after seeing the new guy (not)work, i tink he's confirm one of the 9 out of 10...haa....
Don't worry fata, u r not one of them..heh...
ze lil pea's prospects doesn't look v good at the moment...could b the lack of light at this midnite hr....i tink m in a tunnel going somewhere, but i m not sure coz i can't see shit...

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.

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

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

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! =)

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

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!

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?

| 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. |

crap
watched a really bad show...miami vice...
sorry guyz...i anyhow hantam...obviously neh do homework.

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!
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.

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...

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...?

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...

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

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.

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...

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

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
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;

Precious memories now nary shared;
Under dire circumstances we had to part;
Plunged by a knife, tore out my heart;

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 ...

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
