looooooooooong holiday to "you.know.where"..

my looooooooooooong holiday had just came to an end yesterdae.. so, where did i go again? yes, the absolute answer is no.anywhere but - BATAM! hahahhahaa!

the feeling of having the.bf and close friends around/ within my work area is pretty comforting and nice! it just makes you feel un-foreign towards this "irritatingly.poor.and.slow" country..

well, to add on, my family came over for a short get away on thurs, and followed by the.bf and friends on friday, and three other friends on sat.. and yes, it was crowded.. luckily, thankfully, blessedly, i had superbly nice drivers and managers on standby to drive my friends and i "everywhere" in batam.. hehe..

batam is infact, boringly small and tiny.. to make matter worst, there's only a couple of shopping malls for shopping activities.. other than that, you've just got to waste your time away.. haha! and im glad my sisters n ahgong did enjoyed their trip this time! haha!

and sincerely, to all my friends out there, pls avoid coming to batam for holiday laaaa... lets go somewhere else.. im super duper uber sick of batam.. i mean apart from the exchange rates and the newly faciliated/decorated ihotel, please avoid coming to batam! =D

well, i'm back to batam for work again.. but i've started to count down for the return on xmas eve! and the first xmas picnic with the.bf and friends!!

and for the.bf's info, this will be the 6th xmas we'll be spending together.. how time flyyys (:

~ 2.5 more days!

the LOVE for Holiday Inn Resort Batam!

dad and i were invited to a 'business appreciation' night at holiday inn resort on the 14th dec - yesterdae evening.. i felt totally overly appreciated, despite my low contribution to the resort! lol

to sum up the entire experience - awesome!

it was my first time in 21 years and dad's first time in 50 years indulging in french's extravagance cusine! a 6-course dinner that makes you anticipate for "when are they organizing the next appreciation dinner?" haha.. the best course of the dinner was the wahyu steak! speaking of which, im flooding myself with saliva in the office! haha!

well, to add on to the indulgences, dad got lucky and won a one night stay in Holiday Inn Orchard City Centre SINGAPORE!.. the DAD was pretty drunk by that time, and gave that stay to - yours truly! wahahahhas!

im starting to like my job and am definitely going to love holiday inn more! =D

God be with me..

Jesus took my wheel!

was really really exhausted weeks ago, when dad was hospitalised..

couldnt express the kind of exhaustion and was on the verge of giving up or running away.. haha!!

i had to be chauffer to family, driving them to and fro sgh..

i had to ensure that grandpa had lunch, ensure that grandpa, grandma and seoky had dinner..

i had to answer all calls and repeat the same exact statues of dad's condition..

i had to take over dad's work load..

i had to wash my own clothes, had to cook my own lunch coz too sick of outside food..

lastly, i had to do my assignments and study for exams..


but but, despite all those, Jesus took MY wheel..


he replaced my anxiety with patients..

replaced my anger with compassion..

replaced my fustrations with eagerness to learn..

but still i may have offended or raised my voice at few.. my apologies.. (esp. my sisters la.. haha)


thank God, dad is recovering well and he had started working, tat reduces my workload.. =D

financially down.sized!

i had been faithfully contributing my part to the economic downturn..

"so what do you want?"

i want you to ask urself -

mysterious and ghostly

From afar, I noticed a mysterious and ghostly white fluttering piece of stuff stucked on my car's wiper last night..

I knew it.. I knew it..

i've always obliged in paying off my offences for insufficient coupons displayed or parking on double yellow lines.. but this time..

that ghostly piece of paper read:

Date and Time of Offence: 08-09-2009 0935pm
Rule Infringed: Parking Places (Coupon Parking) Rule 4(I)

and as i flipped over to read further descriptions, it says:

Rule 4(I): Parking without displaying valid parking coupon(s). Displaying invalid parking coupon(s).

Next,

The bottom part on the - For Official Use:
Coupon no(s) with relevant tabs not torn off.


How irritatingly contradicting, I used a new piece of coupon that read 920pm and accurately, i folded the number tabs backwards yet i was fined with an offence of not displaying valid parking coupon!

im soooo going to email in, or there goes my $30..

First half of the day..

Maid.less: 9th day..

today i should be attending 12noon lecture..

but

dad got to attend a meeting in jurong = no car..

so i had to wait for the car to return coz will be going to grandma's house after lect and reach amk around 7.30pm.. soooo, no choice..

did laundry and cleaning while waiting for the car.. when the car is finally back, it's 12nn.. here im still blogging as i wait for mom to send urgent items using the CAR!!! hahahaa...

anw, this is my life, and im "enjoying" it..

----------------------------------------------

happier post,

went army open house with the.bf last sat, only to know that the.bf had designed the frontal port of the Terrex ICV.. really proud of him though i din officially say that to him.. hehe.. and thank u for not abandoning me at one corner while ur with ur friends.. (:

right, school time!

day yesterdae is no longer same for today...

day yesterdae is no longer same for today...

pang family had been maid.less for: 7th day (and counting)..

haha! the incredibly fatty siti had left and went back to kampong on 30th Aug 09..

i had never helped out in any house chores other than cleaning my own room.. today i helped to wash 6 fans in the house, got grandpa's clothes nicely pressed.. washed all unwashed plates and etc... i felt super exhausted.. super..

funny conversation with ah gong this noon while i was pressing his clothes:

ah.gong: 你会烫衣服的阿，以前都没有看你做。。
me: ah.gong, 没有做不代表不会做。。 有怒用，我为什么要做！哈哈。。

anw, i foresee that the pang family is likely to engage the service of MAID in the near future.. super near future la.. wahhahahahahaha!!!

pang kar mun might not be able to stand doing house hold chores long..
reason: she have had maid for nearly her entire life.. wahhahahahahhaa!!!

thoughts, wishes, and prayers..

im feeling lost and direction.less....

i've got no one close to seek advises from...

im not always smart and experienced.. i constantly need and require guidances..

but often.. there's no one..

i thought i could trust him and seek his advise...
i thought by telling him, im respecting him..
i thought he will respect me by keeping it from his wife...

but.. eventually, i wasnt exactly close to being right on these thoughts...


i wished i could seek his advises..
i wished he is proud of my existence..
i wished he is truthful to me...

but eventually, wishes are meant to be longed for...


so now i pray...

i pray for wisdom (to differentiate black and white)...
i pray for unconditional love (for others)...
i pray for patience (in awaiting God approved prayers)..

and i pray - Jesus please take the wheel.......

sick

im starting to hate the entire idea of community or social work.. or rather the word - voluntary..

two years had passed, what have i learnt?

firstly, the group wasnt as active as i supposed or expected it to be.. it never was and i supposed, it neve was, but i hope someday it will be..

im tired of consistenly asking my friends to join the events yec had organized just to fill up the vacancies.. friends are also tired of filling up the "gaps"..

im tired of doing all sort of publicity and yet, i have to follow them up myself..

im tired of suggesting any suggestions during meeting as what ever i suggested will definietly had to be done and carried by yours truly..

im sick of having anything to do with yec.. if not for the bf, i would have left yec long ago..
but again, bcoz of this, we had to consistently quarrel over stupid yec issues..

how irritating..

belated 60th months ann!

happy 60th months anniversary to the bf and gf!! =D

i supposed it's the love, quarrels, fights, screams, hugs, time, kisses, understandings, maturity, education and most importantly God's love and allowances.. that brings us tgt and forward.. haha.. 60 months = half a decade = around 1/4 of my life, pretty long preiod of time to be treasured..

despite overloading work and extra(s) committments, the bf still found time to surprise the gf with a giantic rose! the gf tot she would never receive the second boquet of flowers since the first boquet in last 2004.. haha! but she was and still am really touched with the bf's efforts! eh.. i have got a customized gift coming on the way though.. hehee..

latest photo! (aug 09)

antique photo! (dec 04)

bird-day!!

and i sings.....

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY

PANG HEI HEI!!! =D "

may you stay as skinny as 35kg and as tall as long bean!!

enjoy.able life..

life had been pretty enjoyable recently..

looking back at the days i enjoyed myself with the bf in cambodia luxury hotel..

looking back at the days i enjoyed myself with edwin, jeremy and jean in my favourite island -batam..

but..

enjoyable life = un.pleasant bank account balance

but nevertheless, holidays are meant to be heavily invested for the re.building of physical and mental stress/ damages.. and accompaniment from the bf and friends are priceless, something that money cannot be exchanged with.. =D

but again, time to play, time to work, time to study.. haha! shall prepare myself again for new challenges..

this time in batam, the bf did not come along due to his committment to nation's welfare - reservice... felt kinda weird coz he had always been around during any holiday trips.. therefore, he was emotionally missed by yours truly.. it's just sad that whenever we were smsing each other and i smsed him that he was missed and that i wished he was around, he never replied.. not even an ok or a blank sms from him.. positively, mayb he just din know what to reply? haha!

19th July 2009 - Carmen's 21st Birthday! (:

da vinci

have not blogged for quite a while.. some updates..

the bf and i spent quite abit of time last weekend visiting suntect and science centre.. suntec for the anima fair and science centre for the da vinci exhibition.. sadly coz cameras were not allowed in the premises and we can only take a few shots at the entrance..

da vinci exhibition opens my eyes to numerous invention this genuis had invented his entire life.. from nothing, he became something.. really impressive.. this exhibit too enlightened me on the different positioning of Jesus's Disciples painted on the last supper.. all positions that we see now on the last supper's pantining reflects on the reactions of each individual when Jesus's said - someone on this table betrayed me..

For all that I'am.. Your Grace is more than Sufficient!

“but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”- Isaiah 40:31

for the entire june holidays, my life had been packed, extremely packed i supposed.. had gone back to the "batam", but this time tue-friday/sat.. atleast i have a slightly longer weekend.. how time flies, school is re-opening soon and i need to start unloading my job and concentrate fully on school work..

dad and i were talking about his plans for 2010.. and we are kinda short of funds for the supposed plans.. and as we talk, God provides a big door for dad thr a sms.. the touching part was after dad read that sms, first sentence that he said was..

Respecting your boyfriend

Edwin fwd an email to me recently, that serves as a reminder and set me thinking if i had been giving my upmost respect for my boyfriend for the past 55 months or so! i hope i havent been not giving enough respect..

so here it is, it's sharing time,

How respecting your boyfriend can save your relationship by Sylvher

Many girls kick off a relationship with respect for her man. However, along the way, as she discovers more imperfections in "him", she loses respect for "him". When something disappointing about her boyfriend was discovered, a girl makes a grave mistake (usually on a sub-conscious level), thinking, "I'll wait until he changes THAT thing before I can respect him again."

Such a decision is usually the start of an irreversible journey of discoveries of more flaws and problems with the man and a downward spiral towards more resentment, greater dissatisfaction and less fulfilment in the relationship. Thus, these very same girls wait for far too long and the respect that she has tagged to his change never surfaces.

If respect for your boyfriend is tagged to a condition, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment. In fact, girls who do that almost always end up breaking off the relationship.Why wait for him to change? Why not just respect the man in spite of his flaws? Chances are, if you do that, you'll find yourself more fulfilled in the relationship and your boyfriend eventually learns to rise to the occasion.

Respecting him is easier than you think. Here's how:

1) Respect His Space, Stop putting your mark on him.
Some girls insist on putting something obviously girly or couple-ish (like soft toys or ornaments with love imprints) in their boyfriends' car. Some expect their boyfriends to use the heart-shaped mugs they bought in the workplace (or home, especially if the guy stays alone). Then, there are those who insist that their pictures be displayed as the wallpaper of their boyfriends' mobile phones.If the guy is truly alright with such "markings", that's fine, If your boyfriend ever does any of these on his own initiative, congrats to you. You've definitely captured his heart completely.

However, many guys are actually uncomfortable when their girlfriends propose such arrangements.Firstly, the guy feels that his space is being invaded upon. Secondly, the girl appears insecure and needy with such requests.Result? The guy loses some respect for his girlfriend. Though such actions will not result in break-ups (unless the requests are truly overboard and frequent), these little actions are often tell-tale signs that you don't respect your boyfriend as much as you think you do.

2) Respect His Decisions
An average girl in Singapore is self-sufficient and her earning power can easily match her partner's. As such, reliance on her boyfriend as her future provider greatly diminishes as her income increases. The problem with this is that she starts being too confident in her own decision-making abilities and forgets to respect her boyfriend's.

Yes, the girl often proves to be right. And it's true, the female usually has the higher IQ & EQ in a relationship. Nonetheless, she mustn't forget that eventually, the man becomes the head of the household, not the woman. Challenging his decisions is like making a human walk around with two heads. Who truly leads? What if both heads say different things? How can anything get done properly?Respect his decisions enough to not say, "I told you so…" - even in non-verbal cues- when his decisions end up in the wrong results.

Respect his decisions enough to not bring up his track record each time a similar decision has to be made. Treat his decisions as how you’d like yours to be treated, especially when it turns out to be wrong. Better to have a man who was wrong than a wimp who can't make decisions.

3) Respect His Time
Some girls need to have their boyfriends "report" to them by a certain time everyday. This is very suffocating to a man. Guys generally don't like to FEEL chained even though he is. Doesn't every girl want to believe that her boyfriend is hers and hers alone?Men are generally more task-oriented and sometimes, taking time to even make a call breaks his work momentum. Normally, a guy will not tell the girl that he is feeling suffocated by her demands on his time.

Furthermore, if he loves her to a certain extent, he will not want to hurt her feelings unnecessarily.When a girl insists on an arrangement that will encroach on a man's time, the man will very likely start feeling pressurised. If this goes on, the pleasure he feels on meeting or calling his girlfriend quickly fades. When that happens, the danger is that he may intentionally spend his time on anything and anyone else just to escape this pressure. How healthy can a relationship be if so?

4) Respect His Sharing
Many girls' knowledge are on par with or even more so than guys' these days. So what happens is that a girl becomes very quick to dispute the facts her boyfriend says and pass judgement on some experiences he shares. When a girl does that too much, the man feels belittled and disrespected. He starts being discouraged with talking to his girlfriend. Very soon, he shares less and less. In fact, if the girl bothered to take note, she will notice that when she is too quick to cut the man off, he usually ends up shutting up abruptly and the whole episode he was talking about suddenly stops short. That's the beginning of the end.

If you are that girl aforementioned, it's not too late. From now on, when your boyfriend tells you something that he understood wrongly, listen to the entire text first. Let him finish, respond to his conversation, then say, “By the way…” and correct his mistake (which you spotted earlier and just HAD to correct) gently. Chances are, he’ll accept your correction and even thank you for it if you do as such.

5) Respect His Family
The last thing you need is for your boyfriend to be caught between a rock and a hard place. That's because you are the rock, which can be moved and REMOVED, whereas his family is the hard place, which is immovable and unchangeable.If you don't respect his family and even manage to pull him over to your side of the argument, you need to know that you must be prepared for a LIFETIME of having to do that. Even if he already hates his family, you don't need to intensify his negative feelings and add to his pressure by complaining about what-is-to-come before the family gathering even takes place.

Grumbling and griping about an unexpected or upcoming family event helps nothing. On the other hand, handling such affairs with grace only serves to make him appreciate you more. He may not express his appreciation of you aloud but you can be assured that your respect for his family is not without rewards.Many married men have revealed that the girl they choose to marry over another who could have been better-looking, richer or more fun to be with, is the girl who displayed such qualities. To a man, any girl who can show respect to his family, especially if he is very close to them, for his sake is worth spending a lifetime with.

6) Respect His Friends
No matter how you dislike your boyfriend's friends, it never hurts to have a possibility of them rallying around you should he confide in them after you two have had a fight. And fights will happen. Most men turn to their friends after they have quarrelled with the girlfriend. If such friends have never known the girl, they are likely to fully believe his side of the story and join in his girlfriend-bashing rants.However, if your boyfriend's pals have a good impression of their buddy's girlfriend, they may even speak up for you. This can only be to your advantage. Relationships have been known to make or break due to friends' input, so don't under-estimate the power of peer influence.

Remember, respect should be given, not earned (by his credits). When you respect your man, you have nothing to lose. In fact, you'll have much to gain. After all, you've tried almost everything else to make your relationship work. Why not try respect from now on?

updates!

helloooo..

havent been blogging recently.. or maybe for the past month.. hahaha! had been l.a.z.y and busy though.. life is getting exciting with all the project date lines, exam revisions lectures, work and stuffs.. but im still hanging strong and relaxed.. wahhahaha!

attended bird's 21st yesterdae with darling and edwin.. hahaa.. though edwin crashed in suddenly.. today, attended baby's 1st birthday with alot of kids.. hahhaa! though baobei probably do not know what's happening around her and drowns in her presents, we had fun eating and playing games.. hahha!

thank u darling for driving me to the party earlier due for balloons preparation.. though i know it's kinda hard and ackward when you attend my BIG family functions.. thank u for ur understandings and glad you've self-entertained urself at the chalet.. wahhaha!! but still, thank u for accompaning me! i really appreciates all ur actions and "services".. (:

back to report.. last report submission tml and i shall start my exams revisions before i fly off to BANGKOK on thurs!!!!! wahahhahahhahas!!!!!


lallalalalaaa..

foodies

i tried cooking japanese dinner last weekend.. went to ntuc, get all the ingredients and made japanese curry, fried fish fillets, and both crabmeat + prawn tempuras.. no pictures due to unsightly tempuras.. hahhahahaa! darling took second servings and i tot i might have fared well for my first "kitchen burning" attempt.. haha! anw, my family kinda vacummed all the tempuras and fish fillets..

next up, i tried fried rice cooking with the help of my "kitchen godess" (maid) ofcoz.. and it turned out pretty ok i guess.. considering the little that was left for darling's dinner. hahaa! and the cravings for jap food came again, so we contributed some dollars to suki sushi by trying the bbq grill.. it was pretty nice despite it's discounted price. haha!

anw, enuff of the food, i'm counting down to my BBK TRIP!!!!!! (:

snapped!

it's really shocking and sad to hear the news on the death of a NTU student. Apparently, he had stabbed a NTU Prof before he committed suicide.. considering the fact that he had invested a substiantial amount of money into 4 years of education and all the hard work he had contributed for his results.. and with the finishing line right infront of him, he snapped. tragic.

i once heard a couple quarrelling in SIM and the girl said: you wouldnt know how much money i've begged my parents for this education. you wouldnt know how lonely is it for me to come here for education. you wouldnt know this and that..

as far as i could remember, these were the two key points i heard as i walked passed them.. i guessed this NTU student had been facing the same emotional problem and wasnt able to express his emotions like others could. whenever i went batam to work, i faced similar loneliness.. despite the fact that i will be having my breakfast and dinner with dad, i was left alone with the staffs for the rest of the days, weeks, months.. i had always expressed my lonliness to my friends and were brushed off with a laugh.. i guess, this NTU student didnt have "funny" friends like i do..

or rather, singaporeans are toooo easy-go-lucky, no pressure on education funds, no pressure on outstanding results, clubbing everyday.. unlike those foreign students who had to fend for themselves here alone.. im truly thankful for my "Satisfaction" level towards everything and with lovely sister, darling bf, and friends.. if not i guessed i would have snapped long ago..

cold feetss..

i'm certainly sitting infront of my notebook, feeling cold at my feet.. hahahas! cold feet for the coming ivp this sunday..

i knew i wasnt prepared for this match and not to say get anything out of it, other than meeting my old friends.. haha! i havent been "practising" tkd for a substantial period of time, acumulatively 2 years i guess.. how time flies.. i've already re-applied my indonesia's work permit..!!

i like tkd.. it's probably the onli common topic i have with darling now a days.. it's probably the onli activity that darling and i enjoyed periodically.. but certaintly, i'm no longer as engergetically blood rushing love towards it.. and i always wonder, why would i even partake in tournaments when i havent won any these years.. many credited my "losses" to the "always.national.team.opponent" that i always faced.. though looking at the brighter side, i've tried my best at few matches.. hahaa!

anw, i sincerely thank all friends who supported my defeats and cowardness throughout the years.. hahahaa! please endure, coz more are coming this week.. wahahhahas!!!

friends and relatives asked about my plans for my 21st birthday.. thinking of it.. i thought my living lifestyle had long outgrown the fact that i wasnt "underage".. i felt old recently.. or maybe to rephrase, i felt "grown.up".. handling the amount of stress in the house and workload.. counting my dollars and cents, and ensure sufficient amounts for next sem's school fees deductions.. again i tot, arent all these worries supposed to be part of my parents instead of me? y cant i enjoy or waste life away and smoke my way through uni like many others 21s?

again, im complaining the same old shit over and over again.. hahahaa! bed time.

broken.out! (:

finally caught the long waited korean theater show - break.out with darling on valentines evening after waiting for 2 months.. it's an excellent show! super entertaining, engaging, humourous, extreme dances, beat pop and etc.. for those who'd missed this fabulous show, too bad.. remember to catch it the next time! hahaa!

http://images.broadwayworld.com/upload/35131/breakout.jpg

and straight after we caught break.out, we met up jeremy and shu at amk hub for the mid night movie - outlanders.. pretty cool moster killing movie..

anw, im confined in batam now.. waiting for the work permit to be processed.. poor darling will have to spend his bdae himself.. hais.. and i forgotton to bring my notebook over.. it contained the last month's meeting's minutes.. i'm already trying not to mentioned about having management meeting this week.. wahahhahaas.. hope dad dun remembers..

"i hope it's worthwhile!"

it's back to the projects projects and projects time of the semester..

i'm soooo busy with projects and BB's reports.. and im still doing the things that froms the least priority of my life and unnecessary unappreciated stuffs..

and someone said to me.. "i hope it's worthwhile!"

cny garden party 09

cny had been offcially over and lets awaits valentines.. valentines is pretty much just another typical day for puppy love i guess? haha! vendors take the opportunity to hike their prices into ridiculous prices where a stalk of rose cost $1 during 364days of the year and cost $10 during this particular day - valentines day!

just some updates.. went to the annual cny garden party at the Istana on sunday and managed to catch another pic with PM Lee!! hahahas.. but i still preferred the pic taken last year..

sick

CONGRADS TO VBFF FOR PASSING OF TP! (:

woke up this morning with a sore throat.. nevertheless, drove ah.gong to pick up some medication and meet edwin at the pool at 10am.. the pool water was extremely chilly.. guessed that's part of the reason that causes my fever..

went school after lunch with edwin and shu, feeling sore and aching all over.. though i was going to fall sick mayb tml? haha! but on the way back, i couldnt concentrate on driving and was feeling dizzy.. luckily vbff passed his driving this morning, so he took over.. haha!

went home, and ta-da! FEVER!

smsed darling, and was expecting him to drop by my place after his training.. despite leaving his training ground early, i was disappointed again.. he went home straight after i said i'm not going out for dinner with him.. i never failed to drop by his place and take care of him whenever he fell sick.. and i tot he would do the same thing to me.. or mayb he will do that to me "next time"..

anw, school's up again tml! =D

end of holidays!

all the heehee haahaa had finally came to an end.. that too refers to an end of my collections of "extra" income.. ): anw, cny was kinda boring.. in the sense that all steamboat looked the same, dishes are similar, usual people and cliques.. so i cant be bothered to take any photos la..

sadly, the school term is here "again".. back to school, back to reports writing, back to tkd, back to reality..

a group of us went for some "sai.kang" volunteering last night at the amk-chingay event thingy.. went there as early as 3.30pm and left as late as 10.30pm.. nevertheless, it's my Nth time doing sai.kang, but first time in a chingay event.. fun! (:

back to school tml! yawnsss..

Happy Chinese 牛 Year 2009 to all! (:

Happy Chinese 牛 Year 2009 to all! (:

this year's cny was pretty much the same as the previous one.. steamboating, and chinatown shopping.. haha! as usual, we headed chinatown after reunion dinner and were pretty much "squeezed" throughout the entire trip.. but we had a lot of fun! =D

cny day one was kinda boring despite the continuous streaming in of ang pows! hahhaa! went church in the morning for the annual cny service and headed home.. and we watched ip.man 4 times that particular day!!

for those who had watched that particular kung.fu movie, there's this scene where the hooligan comes to fo.shan and challenged ip.man for duel in his resident..

dad shouts: 我赔！

hooligan breaks the potted plant and said: 我赔！

all the way till the movie was screened 4th time that day for relatives that missed out the show.. and for the 4th time..

dad: forgets to shout..

hooligan breaks the potted plant and said: 我赔！

me: daddy, you forget to 赔 ah?

dad: 赔 too many times today already, no money liao!

till then.. more cny gatherings this coming sat!! (:

tkd?

pretty occupied recently with school, work, hampers, tkd..

haha! talking about tkd, my muscles are in a degenerating mode after tue's session at nyp.. considering that was my ever first actual training session after near 1year.. i guessed i still din perform far under expectations.. LOL! self comfort la.. but nevertheless, i'm kinda motivated and shall try not to embarass myself too much during ivp.. lalalalas... hahha!


made a few purchases recently despite the economy down-turn..

1. HTC Smartphone (My first ever PDA phone)
2. New Moon (After the long search and "out-of-stock" scenarios)
3. Real Estate Empire, Singapore (PC Game from cash converters! damn cheap!)

yep.. thats about it.. gotta continue with my vampire love story..

=D

i had dinner last night with the usual cliques in the office - farewell dinner for peggy who will be leaving the company on 22Jan for a kopitiam lady boss position.. hehe.. well, she was my first batam chinese friend cum translator cum driver cum complains absorber.. will definitely miss her.. now i guess i'm kinda all alone again..

anw, good news is, we have a singaporean qualified accountant who will be joining us permanently this february and a new accounting assistant who had joined us last week.. both are CHINESE men.. happy that there are more chinese now, but kinda sad coz they are men.. but i see a good start for this company..

i kinda shopped alittle last night, and everything was on SALE!!! wahahaha.. saw alot of fire poppers, crackers, mini fire works.. unfortunately, it's banned in singapore.. yawns..

updates updates! (:

updates updates..

i just missed the boarding time for the ferry to batam.. -_______- so much for the rushing home, rushing to harbour front and etc.. i still missed it by 1 minute.. imagine that idiot counter staff sneering at me saying, "kar mun, you've missed the boarding time by one minnute! no boarding for you..".. i was like $#^#$&%^* so i made my way home with the laptop and marketing text book in my bag..

anw, shall go over tml in the first ferry.. yawns..


updates updates..

last week, while on my way to school with sijie, we kinda missed the tuas exit and went all the way to whampo area... while waiting for the traffic to turn green, i captured this.. funny signage for a kuay tiao stall.. haha! so much for attracting attention la..


oh, and i promised to teach shuling basic guitar for the past months.. finally, i've got a chance to teach her.. so i dug out the "abandoned" guitar from underneath the bed and not to my horror, my newly purchased magic dust wiper wasnt a match to the year-long accumulated dust!

updates again on my baobei cousin.. so cute la! i think i've found a "Technique" to make her laugh.. shall visit her more often.. hehe..

recaps..

it had been quite sometime since i updated.. a picture per recap.. lazy to wait for the loading..

this is xmas eve!! with gilko and lloyd at siam's kitchen, before heading church...

the day we declared - bankrupt.. (new year eve 2008) hahahas! darling, elizabeth, joel, alex, xueer, edwin, spent the new year eve doing business at cscc.. not to mention, majority of us declared bankrupt, no mood for further elaborations.. wahahhahahaa! what a nice start to the new year..

yesterday at the ocean ride (forgot the name).. there was this trail simulator machine where public were allowed to experience the "ride".. inside the dark constraint space, there were water splashing all over (effect).. darling looked as if he took a quick shower without towel after we exit the simulator.. wahahhas!

thats all.. kinda lazy to type too..

p.s HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009
