| Chalet @ downtown east |
[06 Dec 2009|10:58pm] |
Came back from a one day one night chalet escapade at downtown east.. :) had enjoyed myself a lot for just one day..
Just yesterday..
Me and yc met up in the morning to go to the chalet by bus.. Some of his friends, wenlai and his girlfriend jiajia, Jialing, siqi , xiaohui and jiajia's brother, hongxun, were already there since Friday night.
Yup, i went with most of them for the batam trip in June this year..
We reached Amk central and I realised I forgot to bring my Xmas gift (for the gift exchange). So due to my delay we managed to reach pasir ris at around ten.. We had our brunch at the hongkong cafe.. Had lots of bread peanut ham cheese Noodle and chicken feet .. Haha with our full stomachs, we met them there at downtown east ntuc where they are buying the food for BBQ.. We even bought 4D together.. Haha but we missed the first prize by just one number, 1934 instead of 1834 ( our room number btw)..
The sky was cloudy and were slightly drizzling when we were returning to the chalet..
We stayed in our rooms to prepare the food and we did everything: cutting squids, fillet and bacon mushroom rolls in the toilets.. Lol. I had a 'black' time preparing the squids with Jialing.. Haha helped to be part of the production line whilst wrapping those food up in foils.. Some of us had spare time taking turns to play wii ~ ~
haha was hilarious watching hong xun and siqi 'boxing' each other.. Then Jialing is the defending champion while yc is concern with defending in the game. Ha.. Lousy.. *whistles*
next, we went to the theme park, instead of the wild wild wet since the rain had stopped..
We took the pirate ship first! Haha.. It's been a looong time since I had sat on that ride since secondary 2.. Haha I remembered last time I had taken that ride for more than ten time at sentosa that time becuase there wasn't many other nice rides.. But, it was still a leg-shaking ride .. Lol.. Wenlai and yc .. The only two guys who kept suggesting other kids ride and wl kept his eyes shut through the whole 2.5 minutes ride.. Yc just froze beside me.. He whined a lot after the ride..ha..
Then we headed for the dayona karting.. A short but extremely bumpy ride.. There were 8 of us so 4 cars 2 by 2. Just the beginner's track and it was a loooong wait..
Then finally we had the boat ride which can go up to 15 metres then sliding down.. Getting all wet.. yc also whined a lot. Ha..
By then we made our way back to the chalet to start our BBQ..
Unfortunately it rained after we just managed to get the fire started.. We had to end the BBQ till later and b then baoyu and her bf, Jeremy, had also arrived for the BBQ.. We just headed back to ourrooms drenched, and ate snacks while we played wii and watched DVDs..
By ten, after the rain had gone, we returned to restart the fire with the help of Jeremy.. So we ate and BBQ and ate and more BBQ.. Fullll...Finished the BBQ and headed back...
Haha that was basically just it.. Rested and had fun.. Haha it was my first time meeting xiaohui and I'm surprised she kept a diary.. Written one and she dutifully writes it.. She's quite nice.. Haha heard she's signed on to army (and siqi in police).. Cool.. Btw, all the girls there were from same poly in the basketball team.. Yc and some of them were form the same secondary school.. Haha that explains.. Most of them are very loud girls.. But very friendly and easy going..
Had sneezes now too.. Haha .. I sure hope xuan will be fine.. I'll go watch heroes on tv now and rest a little.. :)

haha.. the weekend was simple but nicee.. Although i nearly spoilt the mood sometimes.. :x
well on saturday, me and yc went to watch the movie, 2012, and had dinner at the newly opened orchard central.. there are a quite a few resturants there and most of the resturants offer very nice view of the city area.. We went to had our dinner at Grill out on level 8 and the atmosphere is gooood... (despite me finding the food a bit bland but it fills, heh). The resturant is at the corner of the building and that night was very cool and breezy with light drizzle.. plus the live singing.. it's pretty cosssyyyy.. quite like that placee.. maybe next time can try other food.. and must remember to put tabasco.. (then i won't complain of bland food).. heh...
(aside) i never regret eating at that resturant ar.. actually i'm also fine with eating at kopitiam or food republic .. the food there's good tooo.. yc lets me choose a place to have dinner but insists on bringing me to eat good food.. >.< ahhhh.. i know his intentions but i think spending time together is more precious than all the rich food ma.. then end up i always nearly make him moody.. :p sorry... haha but i think he is more stress about his exams than to be moody for too long.. hee..
ok, so back from after the dinner.. we were supposed to meet up with yufen aka charmaine (my primary sch friend) and her bf, guizhong(yc's primary and secondary school friend) at some other place, but ended up bumping into one another at the shopping centre's rooftop garden.. haha.. the scenery there is not too bad.. can see a wide view of orchard area.. too bad we didn't stayed there long because of the drizzle..
Then we went over to cafe cartel for some coffee and snacks.. haha.. they went to get one hazelnut cake with a small candle.. hahaha.. the other day my office colleagues also sang birthday song with the birthday for me... hahaha.. i do feel very touched and paiseh at the same time, when people have to help me celebrate my birthday.. somehow not used to it ar.. hhaa.... don't know why this year i got so many cakes to eat. The next day i went over to yc's house for dinner and they prepared another birthday cake for me...! :x so paiseh.. yc's dad's friends were there and they were very friendly; one uncle even sing the birthday song so loud.. haha..yea! we took photos together ..very cute bunch of aunties and uncles. (will get from yc later). My mum went to penang with my aunt's family on sunday and won't be back until wed.. my mum also cooked some desserts for me the day before she left and pass me ang bao.. haha.. it's the thought that counts lah ar.. :) used to be my dad giving me the ang bao... . ahh. then there's vivian and beng beng (who's working in the same company as me) treating me for a very filling dinner at swensens.. hmm.. beng beng also very low these days at work and still treat me for dinner with vivian.. fancy me taking away some of his precious sleep time when we all sit and complain.. at least we talked the bad away, mentally..
haha.. that day yufen and guizhong gave me a small pouch as a present.. quite x ba.. :X i always feel v paiseh to except too expensive a gift. peixuan also got me the x iphone cover.. i know she also trying to save but she says she's happy to spend that amount.. right or not xuan? hehe.. of cos she must say she happy.. she dare say not happy meh.. *runs away
haha.. hugs* to xuan.. hugs* to my close friends and all their wishes..
double hugs* to the one sticking around in my life..
chipmunk says hi** *waves*

Today's qihong's wedding..! I was present for her wedding lunch and it was pretty well organized with the help of Meiqi, jingfang and peixuan, together with the rest of her sisters.. Haha I wasn't a part of helping out.. They've got photographers to help take photos with among the guests and we were able to take away those small printed pics of us.. Baolai, Peter, Steven, yougang, mengyeow and his gf were there too..Haah been a long while never see steven, good to see him doing good in his job as an auditor.. His technical is strong and he's a pretty hardworking guy, I hope to see him successful in his career soon..
Yougang's at the bank working for operations and he's cool.. He's definitely a work-smart guy..
Baolai with his bond at saf.. Peter too doin his scholarship bond at the company in tuas,.. Hope his life also gets better there.. I suppose like me we don't understand why people can just make is work like shit when they just withheld information.. Blardy waste of time.. Haha.. Hope I can bang table an leave and utter, "you got problem? No problem right?" and then leave the meeting room.. Hahaha this was suggested by Peter a while ago when I was at a meeting..haha
back to.., qihong's wedding was a simple yet memorable one.. I think the couple had put a good effort in planning for their wedding... The wedding pictures, you can view online through online,km,Think you might have seen it.. Forgot if I had sent you the link.. or can find plenty more of today's pics from xuan.. , were pretty meaningful and sweet.. The guy's also from amkss too.. I saw chengkai there also.. The couple also presented flowers to her grandparents I think.. That's very thoughtful.. :)
I wish them to simple stay happy together~
haha .. and also... Today jf made another joke at a photo taken of me and the guys I mentioned, I wasn't there when she commented, because I was chattin with xuan and her friend.. BL turned ard and told me what she said.. "hmm this photo is lacking something.."
"a pretty lady"
hahah then she laugh laugh..
Anyway her marriage is on the 22nd next Sunday and I'm not attending because I'm not invited.. Haha a few others is attending though..
Yc tells me to not be bothered by what people say.. True.. Initially I was sad because i why is it that I'm made a joke everytime I see her at a gathering? I never offend her.. It's the third time.. I was angry but haha.. One thong leads to another and I thought that it is meaningless to bother about it.. Work is meaningless.. Life has no meaning either.. The more I think the more negative I become .. Haha cry lo.. Then I made yc sad.. I sugget yo him can he go and find another gf.. I feel so lousy and negative all the time.. Haa even spoil his mood,. Just now his parents brought me to eat buffet to celebrate my bday in advance.. Evryone so happy inthe end I can be like that...
Haha.. Everyone else is so happy., I have a broken family..and my own life I don't give a damn about.. How to make things right..
Geez I just want to share my feelings and I don't want to make people who care for me sad.. To make me happy is very easy.. Talk to me .. So that I don't have to feel alone.. Sometimes I cry because I'm touched mah.. Right?

ok i think i truly understand km's phlight when she said about driving and getting lost.
it's horror.
even though i'm in singapore..
my brother fractured his toe and he was at nuh late at nite and i had to go to his company (his friend hong cheng drove me there to woodlands after his work) to get his car and then i had to drive to nuh from there..
i already had stomachache on the way there and i had to endure all the way to nuh becuase there wasn't any toilets. in addition when i left house, i did not have my wallet with me..
the fuel was near to a quarter..
i made a wrong turn.. supposed to exit rite on the expressway i exited left..
stomach ache..
got lost..
anyhow turn in a small lane...
stomachache..
finally when i reach the hospital, my bro wasn't waiting there for me. turns out i wsa at the wrong building..
i called him and he said he was still under observation, asked me to wait.. ok.. i waited..
for ten seconds..
stomach ache.. i cannot tahan anymore..!
.. so i just anyhow drove into one of the car park and the stupid numerous bump on the route to car park makes my stomachache worst.
i was about to do reverse parking then i realised what i was doing.. cursed at myself .. there's sO MANY FREE LOTS.. stupid.. anyhow park la.. still do reverse parking! siao..
so i anyhow left my car there and when i rush to the exit .. pushed open the door.. that toilet sign....
wahh..
wah seh.. never before so lucky in my life..
just in time..
haha then i went to the a and e block and waited outside.. wait and wait.. he went to put in a cast and by the time we got home it's past 2.30...
ah well..i keep scolding my bro.. he ar.. vomit blood.. can kick soccer again and this was what he got for flinging his feet on the goalpost...

i gave myself ten good reasons why i should continue to listen to this meeting..
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
:)
nice.. at the end of the meeting, they don't go around the table.. the higher ranking people discuss, discuss and discuss and they don't share and explain what they know..
then why am i here in this meeting?
why bother to go through and ask questions when they have got their own reasoning behind it.. okok, maybe i should be fair, why should i bother to ask questions .... let me design shit for them..
honestly.. why do i have to care? i want to... but sigh.. let the experts decide.
|
|
| my excuses.. because i'm sleepy |
[21 Oct 2009|09:05pm] |
Earlier this afternoon, i attended a meeting..
was a boring meeting.. because i gave up listening and having to ask questions and becoming more and more like my software manager.. not within my scope of work, i don't have to argue with the experts..
i have learnt to come into terms and harmony with what my software manager is thinking. Initially, i was just a young brat in this project.. so eager to make changes and decide solutions for this and that..
guess what? i gave up.. i'm not into r&d and heaven! because no one's going to try to listen (because am such a small fry).. plus, other people have already being there, done that before and they are the experts afterall..
haha.. whatever scale of rubbish that's going to be left behind and who's going to pick it all up..i guess, me and the other engineer bahz..
but guess what.. i don't think my software manager's going to care so much.. work is not everything to her.. her family is.. buts.. *scratch head.. aren't we all doing something that is significant and indirectly, protecting our home?
Wahaha ...
I tried to help in the meeting and then again, the kind of reaction i get, is more or less the same. There's this girl - same age as me - who is the system integrator of this project, more or less another important person (among a few others up there.. ) who is suppose to be in charge of the interface..
so i raised a few questions.. those that were within her scope of work, she is able to help me with the answers. Another question pertaining to the system, she don't know and don't seemed to be pretty concerned to it. Yep, i suppose i need to ask the right person, another manager/consultant from the authority for the answer. But, if you are the in charge.. would you leave some stones unturned and let wind figure out some kind of free market solution for you?
haha..
i'm tired also ar.. i am running out of initiative..
Well, that's part one.. then.. when my software manager asked the same girl some questions.. well, i find her answers rude, even though she tried to tone it down by ending with a smile after each reply. (me aside: " i think it looks fake")
haha..
i come to realise i must have been this rude before.. but i tried to think if i was rude for reasons other than to argue for my point or simply because i don't respect the person i'm talking to.
sigh.. i kind of admire my software manager actually.. She can hold her temper well. i mean, she's a senior and from what i saw, i feel that the girl is a little disrespectful. haha.. i mean, i suppose the girl is just replying as per normal and doesn't mean anything. it just makes me realise how meaningless it is to actually to feel annoyed at people and then show disrespectfulness. At the end of the way, we still need to get things done right? Feeling annoyed and then creating animosity would make work more difficult.i think sometimes i feel that my software manager is a bit forgetful.. and i don't like that.. and i'll just haunt her with even more questions until there was once hahaa.. i achieved my aim - annoying her - because i could hear it from her tone when she replied me.
i'll take note.. i tell myself.. at the end of the day, i just want to get the work done and then.. i just want to do something meaningful in my everyday life, be it sparing the life of an ant, a cockroach... (if it's not in my room, i won't kill it)..
whatever and whenever i can la hor..?
too sian. there are too many baskets to fill everyday.. chicken nuggets.. basket. just baskets.

| serves me right |
[20 Oct 2009|10:32am] |
.. almost immediately after that earlier post, i spilled hot coffee on my thigh.
yea.. i deserved it.
|
|
| i poured away that cup of tea in replacement of coffee |
[20 Oct 2009|10:26am] |
|
personally, i think it's unprofessional to do the wrong tasks at the wrong time in the wrong place.. it's absolutely unethical and it's an obligation to perform one's due tasks timely and take the initiative to work efficiently and effectively..
yea.. except that i can't think straight now..
the next time i can't sleep at night, i'll read those minutes of meeting.

| I wrote this on a bus and it does help to kill time |
[24 Sep 2009|05:40pm] |
My mum tried to knock some sense into my dad last night again..
I woke up 20 minutes to 7 which is the time I got to leave house for a course at the ntu alumni house at bouna vista because I dozed off without setting d alarm but fortnately I was still able to leave hous promptly and boarded the bus 268 which unfortunately had a spolit aircon system and the bus driver had to reject passengers after me - lucky me! - and fortunately it helped me to save some time since the bus only allows people to board off and this allowed me to board on the next bus 74 swiftly and I sat on the upper deck - first seat - as usual and continue to read this very nice book,
yakuza moon
which I started reading the previous day while taking the same bus journey and as I read I sob I rub my nose and it is a
really good book on the true life of a gangster's daughter
and funny I bought the book as a gift to one of my friends previously and never had the chance to read it until coincidentally my colleague also had the book and lent it to me and so somehow I was to read it and yup I finished it and I finished it without realising it was raining so heavily on the streets and when I got off the bus I scampered across the road and fortunately a kind and beautiful Malay lady, Lisa offered to share her umbrella and she happen to be going to the same place as me for a course and so I was not too badly drenched and deeply grateful for her kind courtesy and thereafter I went for the coure which I have to mention that it is indeed a surprise that i happen to meet huili, my secondary school friend at the course too :) I guessed life is full of continous ups and pauses and downs and how good you can make out of the spaces before the next .

I thought I really recognize this guy at work.. Supposedly the boyfriend of my friend's ex.. Funny feeling.. It's like I know him but I'm a complete stranger to him. Just ..feels strange.. Very strange for me.. It's like having two isolated incidents happening at the same place but at a different time and yet have some link to it.. Never mind.. I'm just crapping..

[23 Aug 2009|11:09am] |

easy for people to say.. because it's not their business..
sigh..
i feel like poop.
i have so many things to settle and my project manager did not even tell me the exact location. OK.. i should ask him directly next week. he doesn't have common sense and he doesn't care about my welfare.. except if i die, then no one will do his project..
never mind. let the worst happen. life continues

yeups...
i haven't being updating much.. i know there are things i haven't do.. sigh.. i'm so lazy to do them..
my attitude at work is getting from bad to worse... :s
then.. for my current project, one of the manager told me in feb that i would be sent to france for 2 months training.. i told the manager that if it's more than 3 months i will not take up that project.
then.. i accepted it and i was pulled out from another project..
then... from 2 months.. it became 4 months..
now, i think i'm going to be stuck in france for blardy six months.. then come back bond for 2 years.
all my enthusiasm for going overseas ... actually, i don't quite feel it.
what do i want? i want happiness.. knowledge.. escape..
i can't escape being given stuck in the worst projects to do, even if i reject.
i can escape my family problems.
haha.. either way. i'm irresponsible.
since i'm goin to make the decision to go.. i know i have alot of challenging tasks.. sigh.. it won't be easy alone there too..

| batam trip.. |
[14 Jun 2009|08:02pm] |
just came back on a trip to batam with yuchun and his friends: wenlai and his gf, jiajia, jiajia's bro hongxun, jialing aka bird, wenlai's sis, ailing and siqi..
we went to harris resort.. a remote place somewhere in batam but i'm not sure where is it..
haha..
After we checked in, we went for a 10 minute kart-race. haha.. quite fun and yc kept zooming past everyone else.. dangerous driver..
Next, we went for this~ para.. eh.. forgot what is it called..
hee.. lucky the driver did not make me touch any bit of sea water at all.. but yc was the grand finale... (once i have the pics i'll try to link it here haha)
We all went back to change clothes and proceed on to town nagoya for late lunch.. we had A & W.. haha.. but i did not eat the wafer.. maybe next time i Have to eat it.. haha..
we shopped a bit and half of us went for a massage at the local shopping mall. Afterwards, we all head back to the hotel.. The cab driver from the hotel drove us back.. hmm. the streets do get very dark at night.. and there were pot holes here there..very poor traffice.. we were in awed by the cab driver..
Then we had seafood for dinner.. before heading back for a karaoke session which, unfortunately has an old databse of songs.. haha.. we also nearly suffocated in the 30 celsius room..
bedtime..
by the next morning, we had breakfast buffet there.. then we went for a free bowling session.. then back to the rooms to rest.. then came out shortly for lunch again.. haha..we eat and rest and eat and rest.. ><
then we headed back to singapore.. hhaa
so that's about the trip.. wenlai and company were very funny.. the trip would not have been so interesting if not for their humour too. :)
