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...

 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.

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...

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....

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)

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...=)

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'...=(

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
