the weekend

had work on sat then had to attend a retinal talk after work from 12.30 to 4pm; and since i had nothing better to do on a saturday, i went. my colleague and i rushed to the main ctr of snec to attend as i tot. it was then my colleague told me that we are not there to attend the talk but to book appointments for interested guests - the talk was in mandarin. =p

however i still went and saw my other two colleagues there as there was another english talk in the morning. we were supposed to take over them but one of my kind colleague offered to stay back and help me out. . . sweeet!! as i was about to have my lunch i bumped into celia ong!!! my once upon a time lunch kaki. we were both surprised to see each other. it was good to seeing her though and we chatted for a while.

after the whole talk and everything, i bumped into celia again and we walked to the train stn. whilst she made her was home, i made my way to bedok to meet a fiza. met her for dinner and we chilled near her place for a while. met her little niece and she's so adorable but shy. then made my way back home, reached home before the clock strike 12.

sunday was kinda boring; met mel, corrinne, mellisa n mary for lunch. went to church in the evening; bumped into cassie after church. she's tall and really pretty now. also saw the girl in church again. hmmm.... wonder who she is.

a thought

i almost went into a relationship with someone but i decided not too as i know that i won't be happy in the end. so i'm still single and life goes on. understand what freedom means now. thank u!!

accompanied my mom to the polyclinic and as my mom can't really walk long distance now, so we waited for a cab . . . for amost an hr. even called comfort and the taxi were all booked. alas we got a cab at 11am, and it happened just as we abt to give up. told the taxi cab driver and he told me that ppl are just not happy working for the company anymore. the company expects more from the drivers but their welfare is not taken care off. hmmmmm.... guess everywhere is the same then. =p but something the cab driver told me struck me.

the cabs drivers used to have a percentage of the advertisement cost that they have on their cabs. however, that benefit has been taken away from them by the company. however, the cab driver still have the duty of maintaining the adverts. hence it wld be an extra job for them esp if the cab have adverts on the roof. (not sure if it goes the same as buses). furthermore, the company could tell the cab driver to report to certain place to have the adverts fixed and it will take 2 hrs which means no compensation. on top of that, cab drivers have to use their daily takings to pay for their summons, petrol and whatsoever.

of which i ask myself this question, if what has been said is true . . where is the justification in price increased? if the company are enjoying the profits from the adverts and not taking care of the well being of their employees why should the public suffer. it's always the same reason for the price increase. so again where is the justification.

marina bay sands singapore

went to starbucks city hall with my bud tony and headed to the marina bay sands singapore. took a walk on the helfax bridge which offers a beautiful view of the marina resort as well as the cbd. the casino opens it doors too, and its so funny. they have entries just like the ones at causeway - singapore citizens and foreigners. should have taken a picture but was not sure if i could as there were so many securities, maybe next time. below are a few pics that i took with my nokia 3120 classic. so pardon the quality. =)

the ugly truth rocks!

been working like 12 hrs from mon to fridays and for like five saturdays now. finally i am going to take a break tmr. guess i am going thru a phase of not knowing what i want in life. another crossroads perhaps. long ago, i thought i would be settled down at the age of 41, but that i guess wont be happening. i have basically no life now. going back into the rat race and working till i drop just to get enough for the bills, food and daily expenses. when will the time come, when i don't have to ask how much before buying a thing. thinking back, was i foolish enough to part with $2k afterwhich i have gone deeper in debts. am i always this unlucky in everything. guess i am just fated to go through life without knowing my purpose in life. that sucks. the ugly truth rocks!!!

for tasha

met natasha for dinner on 27 mar @ marina square for dinner. we had dinner at waraku, it was pretty awesome. wont mind going back there again. tasha's bf william joined us half way thru dinner after work. was suprised that he understood the menu pretty well and then realised that he works at a jap restaurant. ;) so anyway, after dinner we headed for drinks at paulaner brauhaus, millenia walk. the place was surpisingly not packed on a saturday night but the beer's still good.

anyways, it was good meeting up with tasha again. the girl i met thru huirong's blog a long time back. the girl who invited me to her birthdays but so far managed to attend two out of three or four? the girl who i reaised still read my blogs for that i am appreciative but sorry that i have not been updating it. so to that girl, i wanna say thanks for being a friend. :)

CHANGI FERRY POINT

wish i was . . . somebody

sometimes i wish time could just roll back itself. clubbing last week was kinda fun, it was refreshing. i realised that i don't send much time with my friends anymore and i don't really know who i am anymore. am i doing what i really want or am i made to believe this is what i want. i could just carry on working and make in life still, my job's going to get me somewhere someday. so why do i stress myself so much in this things that i don't see coming. maybe i am not cut out for this. yes i wanted it so much but i see myself being left behind slowly. all the things i believe in are slowly fading away. do i really want to go on this way?? am i losing my faith in you?? i am lost!!!

wish i was somebody to someone.

where it's just black.

DREAM CARE - AUDI R8

just diamonds????/?

new diamond boutique opening soon and it's going to be big!!!!

start of a new journey

tmr will be a new beginning for me, a new place and new/old colleagues. yes, i will be starting work at a new company. wish me luck!!

after a long break, it's going to be hard waking up tmr, to be working for someone again. i like where i am, can this last a bit longer. sigh... but nonetheless, i'll be making new friends and who knows i may meet someone, or have i already met her??? oh well, its too early to tell.

anyways, let me intro you to my dream car for now its the audi r8, and it just came out with its latest version r8 v10 which is lighter that the original r8. okay okay, i don't have my driving license yet but it doesn't hurt to dream. my previous dream car was the lambo. =p pick up an issue of torque feb issue and you'll see an comparison with audi r8 v10 and lambo gallardo, two awesome cars.

THE AUDI R8 V10

a new beginning

it's been like 4 months since i last blogged and i would like to thank daphne tan who has inspired me to blog again. =D well a lot has happened since then. i left the company and wonderful colleagues of momcc last nov after being there for three years and joined a small general insurance agency. thought things would be easier in a small agency since i was from a big mnc insurance company 7 yrs ago; but i was wrong. things was not all that rosy and eventually i didn't like what i was doing. so i looked south and got myself another job which i'll be starting in feb 2010.

at the moment i am helping out friends here and there; and slacking at the same time. well, it's something that we all dream off, doing nothing much but earning enuff, but sadly it's just a dream. only 2% make it big in their business. unfortunately i won't even make it even in the 98%. but to think of it, if we would to buy a successful franchise like macdonalds in singapore how much will it cost......... well the answer is, we are not able to buy as a macdonalds franchise is not available in singapore. however to buy a macdonalds franchise, it will cost $800k to $3m; alot of money but macs is still opening at every ends of the globe. what if we have a slice of the pie, imagine the profits that we would be reaping. hawaii.......here i am come!!!! =D

BUT it's only a dream. i once told a business associate that the audi r8 is my dream car but he told me not to dream too much as it may turn to be my nightmare. i could almost hear twilight zone in the background. oh well, dreams are dreams. a friend recently told me commoners lower their dreams to suit their income, however a successful person find ways to increase their income to fulfil their dreams. hmmmm which one are we??? well, i am the commoner like everyone else working a nine to five job, not having a fantastic salary to fulfil my r8 dream. but then again it keeps me wondering, what would a successful person do to achieve the status of where they are now, financial freedom. not having a thing to worry about! well, ultimate dream is to have financial freedom and still be able to jet about in my own private jet plane. now thats something!!!

wants a beak from everything.... even from you

you never took the time to know me

never took the time to understand

guess i'm not good enough to be in your world

guess my reality is always a blistered one.

Here today, gone tomorrow

"I’m just so fucking depressed
I just can’t seem to get out of this slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dump
I don’t know how or why or when
I ended up being in the position I’m in
I’m starting to feel distant again "

The Way I Am Feeling right now

Cooking Event @ Ang Mo Kio Hub

Did an cooking event on 3 Oct 2009 @ AMK Hub. The setup consist of a fender mixer, 1 handheld & 1 wireless with two fender speakers. It was my first event in public and I was doing it alone. I was there at 8.30am but I guess my cousin was there way earlier coz everything was already set up. So got myself familiar with the area and what i was suppose to do. My coz went to another event while i went for breakfast @ macs. (Yes we do eat..... ) The cooking event was split into two parts and it ended at 2pm. Hope to do it again next week. :)

= + =

After packing up everything, we left @ 3pm. I headed to Cine Leisure K-Box to celebrate xin lan's birthday. It was only like ytd that we celebrated her 21st birthday & now she's 23. The celebration went well and i guess Jenny went to some length organising it. I didn't do anything much and I don't feel good about it. But I was glad to see my niece again after so long. Am happy that everything went well and she enjoyed herself. Didn't join them for dinner & clubbing after as I only had three hours of sleep. So I headed back home to get a good rest.
