the morning after

my tongue's still having the after taste of vodka lime from last night...or shld i say early morning. somehow rnb & hip hop didn't seem quite appealing after being exposed to house music. yes, i am a new convert to house music or maybe it was the vodka...haha. anyways, m.o.s is cool although the drinks are abit on the high side but its worth it. thanks mel for everything, come feb 11th, drinks on me! su, it was great seeing you again after so long. we should catch up soon! :) crystal, never have i seen someone got burned and step on many times, in the space of two hours. we shld do this again... this time wear something to protect yr fragile feet. ;p love u! oh yes, if u're reading this, get andy to come on feb 11th, k. if u're not reading this...i'll be asking u to read to it. hee hee...okie i'm outta here. its gonna be lunch at julia's or will it be brunch for me?? oh well, anything goes as long as its food. to everyone out there.....happy chinese new year. yes, i'm still high! hahahhahaa.............

a boring 1st day of cny

it's been a boring 1st day of cny, although i don't celebrate it. its no fun being all grown up sometimes. sigh, where have all the good times gone. ytd aftr mass, everyone left for their cny reunion dinner leaving jen, melissa, joanne p and me. had a little prac after which jen had to go to meet a friend, n mel had to be home. so it was juz me n jp not knowing what to do. mel n jp was supposed to go to puden's plc but mel cldn't get out again. so we were near my block just lazing and really bored out of wits! wished i had my pay so then we cld watch a movie but sigh, the movie industry have to wait a week longer. have not been watching any movies lately, a far cry from ten years ago; where they was nothing to see coz we've watched almost everything at gv. guess the movie industry were booming during those years! ;p anways, after slacking for two hours or so, we went our separate ways. which brings me to today, stayed home the whole day, not knowing what to do. went online but no one was online.. received an sms from an ex-colleague that she's going to one of our ex-managers hse for dinner together with the sales ppl. but i didnt feel quite like it so i decline the offer. so i;m back to square one. bored!!!

might be catching the match later, man u vs wolverhampton at the 24hrs kopitiam near chris place...hmmmmm, is it open today?? guess there's only one way to find out and good exercise is in place. the liverpool and portsmouth match is at 2am but i guess we wont stay around to watch although i will love to. talking abt liverpool, the god is back at anfield...robbie fowler! the prodigal son returns to anfield, the same day that cisse got arrested for assaulting his wife. the good times are over cisse, now its time to move on and let fowler teach u a thing or two or maybe three. like how to put the ball at the back of the net, instead of over the net. yes, we need a good finisher and fowler did just that against man u two weeks back. yes,liverpool will rise again like i said and we take the spot from man u and give chelsea a scare! incidentally, everton held chelsea to draw ytd. so i shall leave now to watch wolverhampton kick man u out of the fa cup! will be back to give the low down of the the game.

before i go...for those u have tried to reach me but can't leave me an sms, i'll get back to you!! ciao!

a guide to A+

after three hours or so, i've fixed my pc yet again. guess it was infected by some virus which kind of wipe out some files. so i had no choice but to start from scratch again. once thing that i don't like about it is the updating of files once the windows is up and running. the dozen times i have to reboot my comp after every security updates. hopefully, this will be last of it and that i've don't have to do a fdisk for a very long time. ytd, dos prompted the himem.sys file was missing, not really sure how it got deleted but i managed to solve the problem. thanks to my 'enhanced A+ guide to managing and maintaining your pc'; but somehow today, there was no error codes to tell me whats wrong except it couldnt load windows, tried everything possible but it gave me some strange characters and a smiley face! and when the comp gives a long beeping sound, there's nothing much to be done but to erase everything and start from scratch. after three hours or so, its finally done, its 0400 hours now - i'm hungry and sleepy....guess i'll raid the fridge before i sleep.

back on the train again

she's finally getting a new hp. not sure if she's gonna get a new line though, but if she does, i'm not really sure if she's gonna give it to me. well, i've leave it up to her... but still it was nice to hve received her sms today. :)

met rob for lunch today, and we spoke abt life and how's things have changed since we've know each other. which kinda brought me to reality that things are moving faster that it use to be, and if we're not fast enuff to catch it; it might just slipped by us. also being recently jobless, have not helped that much either considering the fact the i've job hop quite a few times, which is a worrying trend. i am hoping to get back to the insurance industry which is kinda difficult actually considering the fact that i don't have the papers but i'm hoping that 12 yrs of experience in that industry might add some weight to it. looking back i might say that i might have made a mistake by leaving the company but then again by leaving, i gained exp, friends and contacts. i hope that i could go back to the industry that gave me my first pay check! well, i'll juz have to keep my fingers crossed and hope that i get an interview this week. pray for me k! :)

long weekend this week and i;m so looking forward to it, although i am not sure why; considering the fact that i'm not working at the moment. maybe its becoz i wanna meet with some good ol'friends and juz chill. i believe that its not the place that make the occassion memorable but the company.

Patience

1,2,1,2,3,4
(whistle)
Shed a tear cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think bout you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said "Woman, take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience"
(patience)
Mmmm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now I'll wait dear
Sometimes I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know love there's one more thing to consider

Said woman take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, I'll never break it
Cause I can't take it

(whistle)
little patience, mmm yeah, mm yeah
need a little patience, yeah
just a little patience, yeah
some more patience, yeah
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience
just a little patience
is all you need (background vocals)

I'VE BEEN WALKING THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT
ITS HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
BUT MAYBE THE NAMES
I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, CAUSE I NEED YOU
OOO I NEED YOU, WHOA I NEED YOU
OOOOH, ALL THIS TIME
(ah)

send in the clowns

sigh, not a good way to start the week. liverpool didn't deserve to lose at man u. they're always damn lucky and why oh why is cisse still playing??? he has been ineffective eversince we sold baros. crouch and morientas should make him fight for his place and not take things for granted. anyways, so we lost but its not over yet. we will still claim the second spot from man united and give chelsea a scare. but still, its not a good start to the week. anyways, if u have noticed i have deleted some pic as the she didnt want it on my blog. it kinda hurt me but oh well i guess things aren't always a bed of roses. i guess our friendship is going downhill from here i guess and i don't understand why. you were everything that i wish my gal to be and i really loved the way u laugh. guess i've told u that a million times but i guess it didnt cut out when i told u that i wanted us to be more than friends. you said u prefered the way things are at the moment and wish not to spoil it, but somehow the calls and sms just stopped coming... and now i'm here thinking about you and a song but none comes to mind. not sure if things are going to be the same again, but i know i'm gonna miss u loads. guess i'm just a big loser in life, work, love and friends...introducing the biggest clown of all times---> me! i'm sure you will be entertained. esp when i was working at my last job where i would make mistaken every now and then, and how i get fcuked by the boss every now and then. being shouted at almost everyday, banging of files and tables and etc etc....yes i had a miserable life at office!! well, like robbie willams sang, 'let me entertained you!' but during my three months of pure hell, the worst of my entire life, i had you by my side. always giving me reason to smile and carry on, no matter how bad it gets. u gave me a reason to live, and i thank you for that. its funny though that i'm losing you just when i have quit my job. wonder if i'll ever see or hear from u again... only time will tell.

Burn for you

Got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feelin' blue
It's been so long
Since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you
That voice you showed me is not the one that I know
I must be strung out on what I do
Don't hang up again...
Theres nothing else I know how to do But I burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
I guess it feels like your always alone
And i feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do I burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
Took my trouble to a bar tonight
From another point of view
But there's nothing new
I missing you I burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
Burn for you I burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
Burn..for...you.. . .

vanessa and me

this is sweet 'wat the porcupine' vanessa and me during one of our sat choir practise. yes, i 'borrowed' the phrase from her. :p

life

do u sometimes wish that u were still a kid. a kid with no worries in the world, eating, sleeping, playing to your hearts content and more sleeping. the world is a big playground, but as u grow up, the world becomes a battlefield. you're fighting for your own right, space and air to breathe. things that u treasure slowly fades away, and new things complicates your life. wonder why the world is being unfair when you have tried your best, but as usual the best isn't good enough. no one appreciates or remembers when you have done; so sometimes u think about ending it all from a rooftop but somehow u wonder why things are beautiful when u are up there looking down and you think to yourself, there's gotta be more to life than this. so the cycle begins again as u searched for answers that are not really out there. so why are we here????????

maybe

i long to hear your laughter again but all i hear is the emptiness of my room. oh why do i always make something so simple, complicated. you told me that you like the way things are at the moment and don't want to spoilt it but why do i feel that a part of me has just died. of the messages that we sent, i am not sure what to text anymore. maybe i should have been firm with you and tell you that i will take my chances with you no matter what happens or maybe things are better off this way. deep inside my heart's hurting as i long to hear your laughter again. missing you like crazy and i've forgotten how to cry.

do you remember?

do you remember, after i've fought with the school bully during recess, u went up to him and told him not to ditch on me to the form teacher? things went pretty easy after that.


do you remember, hiding in the drain under the wooden plank and waited for the truck to pass over. u wanted to know what's the feeling until our friend's uncle saw us and shouted for the truck to stop and we ran like hell!!


do you remember throwing water bombs at our friends from the top of my block and geting some in return when we were downstairs.


do you remember playing hide and seek in the big ass carpark till the evening and our parents would be shouting for us to come back home from the blocks. the same carpark where we would feast on rambutans, durians and other fruits which were raided from the nearest kampong.


do you remember the long walks we used to take after choir from chong pang all the way to sembawang macs? we sang carols no matter what season it was, got chased by dogs and bitch abt other people.


do you remember when i missed u at the airport, I cried my lungs out thinking i would never see you again.


do you remember the times we would spend after choir at BK & LJS just chilling out and singing carols no matter what season it was? there's always something every weekend to look forward too.


do you remember the time i cried like a kid and you held me in your arms. i guess you were the first one (from the choir) to see me cry.


do you remember when u held me in your arms and taught me how to french kiss? i thought i had died and gone to heaven.


do you remember carrying the big ass tv from my house to your house. it seem like eternity getting it up to ya house.....surprise that it's still working!


do you remember running but stopped when u saw me looking at u and just walk briskly. saw u again and manda's place and found out that u were manda's best friend. i was slightly embrassed! ;p


do you remember coming on msn asking me what was wrong although we don't often talked to each other. i really appreciated it.


do you remember meeting me up for coffee after hearing from your girlfriend that i had problems and offered me options and solutions....will never forget it. you guys are the best!


do you remember the time i gave u that little green frog during your exams; and the way your face light up when u saw it. it was like a kodak moment.


do you remember giving me hugs when you notice that i wasn;t feeling good although we have not gotten to know each other well enough...but it really did touch me! thanks!


do you remember waiting for our bus at the interchange, i held your hand and u didn't reject it. we just stood there and swang our hands.

the porcupine strikes again..

well, i'm required to come back for another week. What the PORCUPINE! i was telling my collegues, if someone would to ask why i am still here, i would reply - back by popular demand!...just to console myself lah. sigh...well, at least i know that my last day will be next week, which also gives the other dept more time to discuss terms with me. its a perm job, thats means annual wage increement, benefits and year end bonus but after reading yesterday's news on Yahoo, not sure if there's gonna be any bonus this year. When most companies are merging, mine is splitting into three companies. oh well, see how things go. hmmm...didn't know that the company that i'm working for is really big in the industry. was talking to a friend abt it, the companies that are the biggest in the industry have high turnovers everytime but how they remained competitve is something!! well, juz hope tat things turn around for me. another week and i;m outta here, but hopefully the other dept counters offers me before i leave. then i would take two weeks break and start in feb! how's that for a plan! :)

bluetooth

another 24 hrs more to go, n its all over... i think!!?? received news that i might not be released tmr as there;s still much to be done, i might be required to come back next week or stay on, i am not sure. wat the PORCUPINE!! (learned that from nessa .. hee hee) anyways, if u read this, do pray for me k. hope i;ll be able to leave my job for good tmr. well, see how things go, i might returned, i might not. see how.... just hope to pass tmr without any incidents. keeping my fingers crossed!


before i go, a friend told me today of a perfect remedy for 'people who talk to themselves'.....give them a ear piece!!

impressions

sometimes i wish life was much more simple but then again, life's a learning process. once in a while during our life span, we'll will bound to meet someone who will leave an impression that will last forever. someone who will offer some words or encouragement and advice that will benefit you in your next course of work, school, watever. today after work, i sat down and spoken with one of the managers and it offered an insight of things i have not thought before. it was of those conversations that leaves a deep impression on me. another two days to go and i;m outta here, hoping to leave on a high note. there will be some that i will miss alot as they have gone all the way out to help me. i really do appreciate all that they have done for me! to my bro's @ work, thanks is just not enuff! will look forward to jan, 27 @ MU, we'll bring the house down!

something worth hanging on to...

there u were, sitting in the smokey room and the nights about to end. the music's drowning every conversation possible. knew if i dont do this now, i wld never get a change to know you. so with confidance intact, i approached you, we spoke for awhile or manage too until the techno music drowned us out. so i had to resort to chatting thru the sms method and thats when we exchange numbers. after which, several sms and calls followed. we got to know each other better and you crack me everytime. we met up in groups but was always lost for words. so we stuck to sms n calls as we felt more comfortable this way. its funny how that we cld talk for hours on the phone, but grow blank when we meet up.

somehow, today was different. we spoke for an hr or so, n i decided to meet up wif u in tampines much to ur surpise. so tampines it was, the weather somehow played a part in it, setting the right mood for everything. got to know more about you and ur family n things u miss having in your life; your hopes and dreams! somehow, i felt attracted to you for the first time. wanted very much to hold ur hand n let u know that i cared. today i took a trip back to that smokey room, six months ago, on my way back from tampines, and i think to myself, it was worth it! i wanna hold ur hand again! :)

a kid called justin

right after bloggin' my previous post, i received an sms from my bud, tony. his year old kid has been admitted to kk hospital. he'd accidentally drop his yr old kid, justin and he's intending to spend the night there, so i gave him a call. he said he would come back first to get some stuff and would head back so that angie (his wife), cld get home n get some sleep. so yup, i spent the night at kk, keeping my bud company while he watch over his kid. the 'tsunami' kid as i would call him as he was born on boxing day 2005. every two hours he would get up and give a loud cry, more like a roar, man. other than that, the kid slept peacefully. wel, i tried to get some sleep inbtwn on a not friendly chair; tony joked that i could fit into one of the beds. soon it was time for me to head home, or more like to work. it was 0600hrs, and took two bus to work to get some stuff done before heading home. not sure what's the condition of the kid as yet but will update soon as i receive news from tony; of which i just did - justin is doing fine! now to get some sleep. zzzzz

a weekend with friends

well, a week into the year of 2006, and so far it has been good i must say. i kind felt a whole lot of pressue taken off me ytd and i really enjoyed myself with my best buds! attended a wedding ytd afternoon and i must say that i've never seen so many pretty gals at one wedding session before. the wedding went okie, had the reception at the canteen and chill out with the choir mates till it was time for choir. guess i never felt so relax in choir for so long. tried out something new and everything went well....might try it out again next week. after choir, it was dinner as usual and chill out session minus the booze with jen, jp, pat, shariff, mel & me. man, i can't remember the last time i laugh so hard. we got to know more abt each other and i guess it brought the bond even closer. we played heart attack, 'tai-chi' (not sure if i got it right) and blackjack under the void deck, the rain was pouring and we were waking up the neighbours, but thank god, no one called the cops! we had supper or breakfast at 7-11 and headed home after that. it was five in the morning, the rain showed no signs of letting up and we made our way home, promising to do this again soon.


back on my home front, i've submitted my letter and my last would be on the 13 Jan 2006, but i've been offered a job with the marine dept with the same companu. a perm job and we're talking abt benefits, awls and bonus, weekend n public holidays off, what else can i say. will have to see how that one goes. another piece of good news will be that FR J.J. will be coming to our parish as a priest and it will be huge boost to the choir. well, looks like things are looking up in the year of 2006!


before i go i leave with you this, 'Wedding couple rush for 666 date. Officals notics 'sinister' surge in June 6 bookings to tie knot'. yes, '666' is coming and couples in the netherlands are setting their wedding date on 06/06/06 or 6/6/6. wonder will anyone buy 4-D this time around! ;p

countdown begins

i would like to say a big thank you to all who have been there for me, one way or another, during my darkest period. i really do appreciate it. for the records, i have tendered in my resignation this week. so my last day would be next week i guess. hope to leave the company on a good note.

well, i hope 2006 will be a better year for all of us!

Happy New Year to my fellow bloggers and strangers alike!
