Halloween

Have to mention this point first, now is 31 Oct, guess by the time I post it, it will reflect as 1 Nov. I am actually writting events of today (31 Oct). The previous one posted on 31 Oct was actually mentioning abt my events of 30 Oct.

My colleagues are rather excited abt tonite events, cos some of them are really going to dressed up for halloween party at Zouk. One of them is going to dressed up as Japanese ghost in cheongsam (weird??) , others were still thinking what to dress up as, how to paint their faces. Last week , they gave ideas like dressing up as fairy, chinese zombie (jiang1 shi1), mummy.... However this afternoon, ask them what are they going as , they joked: "dressed naked".

so y am i doing here at home while the rest are partying. All because of my tuition today. So cant go lor. I really wnat to see what's tehscene like at a Halloween party. Can check out the costumes mah.

yah, speaking of tuition, today, the student's mum just found out she had made a mistake regarding the examination dates. So i will have to teach tuition up till next Friday , instead of next Wed as stated earlier. Sighhhh, guess I can't run my errands after work for next week again.

rush hour

Today's really 来匆匆,去也匆匆 (rushing here & there).

At work, I was on counter duty today and could only leave for lunch after 1pm. my colleagues had went off to Holland Village for lunch at 12.30pm, so by the time I finish my duty, I had to rush out to catch a cab and went down to this cafe/bakery called Provance to meet them for lunch.

Reached there at 1.50pm, by that time , they had finished eating, so I had to quickly settle my lunch in 15 mins and we all rush to take a cab back to our office.

Quite stupid right, especially when i have the option of having takeaway from our office canteen and eat alone. But the breads at Provance are so soft and delicious, so they made up for the taxi fares.
;)


After work, had to rush to catch campany transport. At the point i alighted, I am suposed to catch an SBS bus , but due to the rain, tehre was no sight of it for 10mins. As I have to reached home by 7pm (so that i can have enough time to eat dinner then rush out to teach tuition), I had no choice but to hail a cab.

Blame it on bad luck. Today's dinner was noodle soup, hence I had to waste a few mins to cook my portion of noodles. And to think that i made the mistake of cooking the noodles meant for my brother. So i had to cook another bowl again.

Really gulp down the noodles in 5 mins and ran out of the house ASAP to catch bus to my tuition kid's home. Ended up late ....

Really really tired now.....

work work work

Arghh. Guess what? Yesterday nite, i dreamt abt my work.
Must be I am so afraid abt my confirmation of employment after 3 montsh of probation in real life (the probation ends on 4 Nov) that I dreamt that I finally raise the question to my editor on whether will she confirmed employing me as she will be leaving on a 6 weeks holiday from 3 Nov.

In the dreams, her reply was "i deal with it when i come back" ........

My colleagues had told me stories that she had terminated so many ppl who had previously occupied my current postion just a few days before their confirmation without any valid reasons..... Not that they had bad working attitude, just that she was too picky.

so i just had to pray hard lor, cos i don't have any backup plan.

Gotta rush to create a form. Well, even though I don't have OT, I have to do "home work".

Got "work" is better than no work to do right?

百忍成金??? (bai2 ren3 cheng2 jin1)

Well, had to admit I am not in the best of mood today (Monday), especially when I work up the upper body all aching, especially at the waist. Thanks to the hip hop lessons yesterday, where we all had to do a lot of movement of pushing the body sideways.

We often heard of ppl complaining abt muscle pain around thigh, arms or back area, but never at the waist.......

Ok Ok, get back to main point. Something at happened at home early in the morning that made me really mad. Well, it is a rare occasion that I get real angry, specially at home, for I always try to be tolerant . Guess had been bearing the selfish and ridiculous acts for too long that I can't stand the pressure and had a "mini explosion". Whoever says 百忍成金 (bai2 ren3 cheng2 jin1)? Sometimes, really feel that when you tolerate a person too much, he/she will always be taking advantage of you. While asking yourself to be more understanding to others, sometime you are making yourself to do things that you don't really want to do. Tolerate so much, that all the "火气" ("fire") accumulate until one day, there will be a "big explosion'.

Well, no "casualties" today. I only raise my voice at myself when they left, but I really can feel the anger within me......

Come to think of it, it will be quite scary if I lose my cool in the office instead . Not that there aren't anyone in my office losing temper, for everyday, I can see people jumping around, using vulgar language.

Must take note of this date and see when's the next time I get worked up.

Just Thoughts

Couldn't think of a title for summary of today events.
In fact, now I am trying very hard to keep my eyes open (when it is only 10+ pm), guess really have to make up for the lack of sleep. Was feeling moody since evening and tired from today's lesson.

While, today hip hop lesson seems easier than last week. Wonder is it because I am getting some hang of it, or is it because today we don't have the "right and left sets of movements", so today's dance steps weren't that confusing.

My colleague didn't came for Hip Hop today, seems like she's going to give up. "A.C", the girl we met last week (who happened to be a first-timer like us), was back today. She had already decided to sign up as member. Had promised her I will be back next week, so that we can "malu" together.

Before the lesson starts, while everyone was waiting, there was this student, a rather show-off type, dancing right in centre of the classroom. Yeah, you can say he was practicing, (later we found out that he was also in the advance Hip Hop class, wonder y he still attend the beginner class) but the dances steps are not all Hip-Hop style, he seems to be dancing some combination of Hip Hop, jazz and turns.

Had to admit he was good, despite the showy attitude. "AC" commented that normally for these type of dancers, it's natural for them to dance in front of strangers, as they are the sort who like to receive attention. It's the attention they received that motivate them to dance better.

haha, I don't think I will be able to dance well even after 10 lessons. As I know I belongs to the more reserved type--- who only repeat the steps when the dance instructor ask us to do so and don't dare to do big movements.

It's a bit tough, especially when you know you don't have the "dancer's syle". My colleague lack of interest in continuing the course make it less fun for me to attend the Hip Hop class weekly. However, had set a target for myself, that I must hang on until end of this year. As what the saying goes, 天下无难事,只怕有心人(tian1 xia4 wu2 nan2 shi4, zhi3 pa4 you3 xin1 ren2). The more difficult it is, must try to overcome it.

in the evening, I began to wondered am I pushing myself too hard. On weekdays, I struggled with work and tuition and had little time to study for SAT test. Moreover, there are so many problems to settle and things I had planned to do for weeks but had not really start on them yet. Like designing a series of Christmas cards, rewriting my novel. Yet i still had planned for quite a few things to add to my "to-do" list.

Seems like it's me who 自讨苦吃(zhi4 tao3 ku3 chi1), isn't it.

Ok, can't tahan liao. gtg to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Food, glorious Food

Why this title? Hmm cos the main subject I can think of is just food.

Met up with a friend today, tried out Ramen Ten at Far East. Food's not bad but servings rather small for a $10 meal.

Was telling my friend how ashamed I was for failing to know what's happening in my neighbourhood. Only until yesterday did I realised that Bishan's Junction 8 shopping centre had opened "Junction Mark8t" at Basement One. There were new shops/restaurants like Ya Kun Toast (the one which i had been longing to go to), Thai Express, takopachi, corochan, Sweet Secrets (relocated from Lev 1), Polar puff and cakes. In addition, Sakae Sushi express and some other eateries are coming up soon.

hmm wonder where did they get the space from???

Bishan is my "地盘" (di4 pan3), yet I dunno there are so many new eateries. Can't blame me lah, cos now I took bus from Toa Payoh straight home after work, seldom pass by Bishan central leh. Anyway, must try them out someday.

While my friend and I were walking along the way from Orchard far East to Marina Square ( yes we walked!), we checked out the menu and the prices of Heng Restuarant at Scotts shopping centre. Didn't know that my friend, although not a Hainanese, had read abt it and was interested to try the dishes. After glancing though the menu, we decided it would be better if we asked a few more friends to join us so that we can sample more dishes.

So, as she puts it: "next stop-- settle on eating hainanese dishes".

Ps: still "falsely wide awake" now, cos I had drank a cup io ice blended Irish cream Mocha at Pacific Coffee. Really need to sleep now, cos tomorrow (today?) had to rush for hip hop class.

Bits & Pieces

Ok, a lot of small matters happen today. can't really group them all. so here are the pieces & pieces of my day.

Near exhaustion. Finally got a taste of "body system protesting" after so many days lacking of sleep. Last month, used to wake up late on weekends to make up for the lack of sleep on weekdays. However was so busy these two weeks (also dunno what I am busy with) that I had to wake up early on weekends too.

Last nite, opps, shall I say "this morning" ( cos it happen at 12.30am), as just abt to offline, suddenly feel my head seeing stars. Shouldn't be the case as I usually can "tahan" until 1+am. Scared that my brain will "auto shut down", i quickly used whatever energy i had to switch off the computer and went to sleep. Don't even have the energy to brush my teeth. The minute I laid on the bed, was immediately sent to "slumberland".

Red Hot Chilli Pepper
Well, i guessed my collegues were finally convinced that it is my body which really CAN'T take chilli & spicy stuff, not that I don't dare too. This afternoon, a big group of colleagues andI went out to Sami Indian restaurant in Dempsey road to treat a Indian Muslim photographer a farewell lunch and a female photographer her birthday lunch. Well, though i don't take spicy food, it is best not to make any objections, besides i thought i can get to eat some non spicy food.
However, they ordered 2 pot fish curry, while the compulsory dishes-- the tandorie chicken and other dishes are spicy. Having no choice, I thought I can bear the spicyness of the chicken by mixing it with plain rice. I was silently enduring the 'flames coming out from my mouth" when my colleagues opposite me start saying : " You all see her (pointing to me), no wonder she's so quiet, she can't take it liao, look at her face, so red."
Arghh, become the centre of attention. I then told them, i only ate the tandorie chicken with the chilli gravy scraped off, and I didn't even touch the fish head curry. Anyway, this proved that it is my body which can't take the heatiness.

Crazy or passion. I can't believe myself either, to think that this evening, i really went to the National library to search for books abt Hip Hop dancing. No books on Hip Hop dance available at AMK library, so borrowed a "Learn Salsa" book instead.
When i return home, seeing the chance my mum was in her room watching TV, i quickly practice my hip hop dance steps with I learnt last Sunday in my room. Then i found the best place to practice hip hop at home --- in the bathroom, where no one can see. Yah , that place is a little cramp.

Y I so 'on" har? i also cannot figure out.

Ps: beginning to get more and more irritated by the lack of speed of my 56k internet connection. Think i could have save a lot of time if I had broadband.

Kittens for adoption, any takers?

yah i am being serious. This afternoon, while walking back to office after having lunch with 4 others colleagues at JTC canteen, we spotted 2 kittens lying near a plastic bag. Initially, one colleague thought that they were dying, until another colleague take a closer look and found that they were just weak, and found 2 more kittens in the plastic bag!

Seems another act of cruelty to animals by some heartless people.

The 4 kittens were abt a month old, and they have their coat of fur, Gender unknown, as my colleague had put it :"Too small to see anything". Three of them are white (one had a small patch of grey fur on its head) while one have a beautiful coat of black and white fur. According to the "expert", these kittens are going to have blue eyes when they grow older.

2 of my colleagues had taken a fancy to these cuteeeeeee kitten, although they had ticks on them (yah, yucks). They bought milk for the kittens, which were too young to know how to drink them. Passerbys walked past, crowded us for a while, but dun bother to do anything. In the end,my colleagues managed to find a box and carried them back to our office. Better than left them being abandoned , right?

Attracted quite a lot of attention when we walk back, and my gutsy colleague was like asking those guys they want to take care of them. Seems like those guys were trying to make use of the chance to talk to us rather than really being concern abt the poor kittens. In the end, my colleague was rather pissed of by their attititude that she said loudy to the last few guys "Forget it, man. They are just chee-koh-pehs."

Haha. This is what I call "girl power".

Seems like the males are rather heartless, We are sure many of them passing by had noticed the kittens but no one bother to do something to help them.

Anyway, as for the fate of the kittens, we took them back to the office, but find no one suitable to take care of the 4 kittens. We have a number of cat lovers, but as they are working, no one is at their home to feed the poor creatures which are in need of tender loving care. So temporary, the kittens are spilt between two persons , who both said they can't take home 4 at one time cos their mothers will freaked out.

Right now, we are all on the look for a kind-hearted soul who is willing to take care of the four cute kitties which like to huddle each other together.


So, any takers?

Of Escape & Perfume

Right past midnite now, and I am still smelling fresh of the CK Escape perfume.

Nah, I am not that "hiao2" to smell fresh in the middle of the night. Just that I had bought a small refillable bottle of CK Escape from the Perfume station at Bishan J8

Seems like CK Escape is quite popular, I remembered the last that I went for refill, it was unavailable.

The problem is CK fragrance is that, though they smell refreshing, sweet & not too musky, they don't last long till the end of the day. Unlike Chanel's Allure.

I own quite a few number of perfume, cos i collect miniatures. Had tried Allure before. It smelt sweet, a bit musky, but more suitable for evening. But be careful wearing it around guys, as one mentioned to me that once he was sitting for an exam and couldn't concentrate, cos there was another girl in the same room wore Allure , and that scent "turns him on".

Kenzo is also my favourite. Seems refreshing like nature. I treasure the Kenzo miniatures so much that I only used half of the bottles at maximum.

Had a few Elizabeth Arden miniatures too. Their range (Red Door, Fifth Ave, and one more I can't recall the name right now) seems a bit too sophisticated on me. Their frangrance, like their brand, might be more appealing to "Tai-tais" instead. Their Green Tea perfume, is too strong on the nose to me.

Apart from the miniatures, I have two large bottles of perfume ( E. Lauder's Pleasure and Shiseido's Energizing frangrance), which were given to me as birthday gifts. Too much for me to use them all, unless I bath in them. :P

Recently, had a conversation with 2 of my colleagues regarding perfume. Both of them had been using the same perfume (one wears Davidoff, while the other wears Ferragamo) for years as they agreed that the perfume are like their trademark. People will associated them with their smell.

haha, I wonder abt myself, I smelt differently each day. Cos I am always alternating between the perfumes I have.
If I settled on one, wouldn't that be wasting the perfume I have in my collection?

Ok. It's late now. Shall Escape to a few hours of sleep .

A calories-burning Sunday

Had a very tiring day. For the whole afternoon, after I came back from Hip Hop lessons (which already left me half exhausted), I was doing a “mini spring cleaning” and “bookself make-over” (cos I had bought new magazine folders from IKEA and nice paper to line the shelf). Had made a tough decision to throw out the encyclopedias from my bookshelf to make way for my Home & Décor magazine. Ever since I had connection to the internet, I don’t make use of the encyclopedias to search for information anymore. These encyclopedias were given my dad’s friend who migrated to Canada years ago. They must be quite expensive, but too bad the information were outdated by now.

As I pulled out my primary and sec. school annual booklets and newsletters, my brain was flooded with memories. Also, I found a 1996 Guinness Book of Records with pressed flowers (given by my ex-bf) in between the pages. If not for this “spring cleaning”, I wouldn’t have remembered I still have these things. No wonder my mum always nag that I keep “rubbish” as there are a lot of things that were left there to collect dust (not to mention they took away my storage space).

But you know lah ( I think I express it better in Chinese), 像我这种重感情的人, 往往都舍不的丢掉它们......(xiang4 wo3 zhe4 zhong3 zhong4 gan3 qing2 de ren2, wang3 wang3 dou1 she3 bu4 de2 diu1 diao4 ta1 men2……)

就算是它们让我回忆起伤心的往事, 就算是它们勾起的回忆都是模模糊糊的, 像几块小拼块, 我都舍不得扔掉它们. (Jiu4 suan4 shi4 ta1 men2 rang4 wo3 hui2 yi4 qi3 shang1 xin1 de3 wang3 shi4, jiu4 suan4 shi4 ta1 men2 gou1 qi3 de hui2 yi4 dou2 shi4 mo2 mo2 hu2 hu2 de, xiang4 ji2 kuai4 xiao3 ping1 kuai4, wo3 dou1 she3 bu4 de2 reng1 diao3 ta1 men2.)

现实也是如此, 很多人往往不能对一些事物,甚至一些人放手, 只因为一个"舍不得"......(Xian4 shi2 ye3 shi4 ru2 ci3, hen3 duo1 ren2 wang3 wang3 bu4 neng2 dui4 yi4 xie1 shi4wu4, shen4zhi4 yi1 xie1 ren2 fang4 shou3, zhi3 yin1wei4 yi1 ge “she3 bu4 de2”…..)

*******************************
Talk abt my hip hop lessons instead. Woah, it was rather tough. The class was bigger than we expected., around 30 ppl in it. As one of the student who started lessons last week had told us, it was quite tough, the dance instructor teaches the steps quite fast. Guess he cannot spend time for short individual coaching due to the class size and time limit.

First, was some warm up and stretching exercises. I am not that flexible, so was struggling a bit.
I could follow when the instructor first showed us the legs movement, but once he add in the arms movement together with the leg movement, I “ga-blah”, got confused liao. My friend was also having the same problem, so I guess it’s not that bad. But we really sweat a lot at the end of the lessons.
Seems like she’s not very sure whether to continue the lesson next week, she and another newcomer were thinking “maybe give him another chance next week”.

So, if she don’t go, I’m also not going. Too awkward to be there struggling with the dance steps by yourself. See how lor. Will update again.

Spelling Mistakes!!!!!

Oops, i did it again.
i type too fast and often type like dsylexic and too "gan cheong", often resulting in typo errors whenever i post my MSN/ICQ messages to my friends. Even though i used spelling checker here, still spot a few errors now.

Will keep in mind to improve my typing.

Hip Hop & 雨伞情

Received an sms from my colleague this afternoon mentioning she had bought her attire for hip hop lessons, so we can start the lesson 2moro. Hurray!

For those who knew me, yes I know , stop raising yr brows.
For those who didn't know me well, you see, I am the sort of inactive person who only really works out ONCE A YEAR, for the annual captain's ball match in my club. I dunno how to cycle or play any sports like badminton,tennis and squash ( tot someone said he will be teaching me, huh?). Learnt swimming years ago when I was young but I hate swimming.

I used to walk back home from Bishan MRT ( where my previous company transport drop me off from work) to my home thrice a week. The journey took abt 20-30 mins. It was so call my "regular exercise".

After I had changed job, I reached home later than before. Since the bus I take stops at the bus stop near my home, I didn't bother to exercise anymore.

Then one fine day, during a lunch talk with my colleagues, we were talking abt dreams when one of them mentioned she wanted to be a dancer. Somehow , the dance studio "jitterbug" was mentioned. While others ladies were talking abt checking out kick-boxing classes. I decide to pick up dancing than kick-boxing as I know I don't have the stamina to do the later.

I think my grandpa's illness had something to do with me being more active in exercising. He was seriously ill last month and was in ICU. That was the period were our hearts stopped everytime the phone rang, for fear that.... He is still being hospitalise and I pray that his condition will improve.

So I guess now, while I am still young (but not that young liao), better learn new things and start exercising regularly to keep fit. I know my lungs are rather weak. I tend to get breathless and cough easily. It's difficult for me to take long deep breathe, and I tend to take quick short breaths,which is rather dangerous.

However, there was still a fear in me. I don't know I have the stamina to do an hour of hip hop. After all, I was excused from PE lessons for a year in my sec school days and still have breathing problems now and then. I know my friends have been worried, especially when they encountered days when I have serious attacks and had to be rushed to hospital. I really dislike it when ppl always asked me if I am fine whenever I was playing captain's ball for my team and during camps, they don't let me be in charge of camp stations that may have a lot of physical activities. I feel normal, and dun wish to be branded as a "sick person".

I can't blame them. Afterall, it is the fact that if my attack occurs, there is a chance of it leading to death. (choi!). How to explained to them that the breathlessness experienced is not the same as the breathlessness resulted to strenuous activities. This year Captain ball match, I played all the rounds for my group and was fine. True, I was exhausted easily but I know how not to pushed myself too hard.

Also planned to learn other sports if I have the time and if friends willing to teach. Had tried rollerblading 2 Sundays ago and it wasn't as difficult as I thought. Give me a chance to prove that I am not a 身体衰弱的女子(weak girl). Ok? ;-P.

as for this 雨伞情 "yu san qing", it is a song sang by Hokkien pop queen Huang Yiling. Haha think I had mastered it just now by only spending less then an hour. Maybe it is because T. sang it at last Friday KTV session, so I paid quite a lot of attention on the lyrics (I dun understand hokkien, you see). I took a few days to learn her other hokkien song "爱到才知痛"(ai4 dao4 cai2 zhi1 tong4) last month. Guess once you mastered a hokkien song, it is easier to learn other songs as some of the words are quite common and the style is quite similar. For these two songs, both have only two parts, you sang both parts, repeat both parts again, sing the 2nd part again (the chorus) and repeat last sentence of the song.

hmm, dun think i will turned into Hokkien pop fan lah. Long way to go.
hmm, how come no Hainanese pop singers that we youngsters know of.......

What a Friday

I was wondering to myself, is today the dreadful "Friday the 13th"?Double-check on my calendar.
Nope. It's the 17th.

Why today really damn Suay? Forgive my language. I know, as a female, its seems bad to speak in that tone, spoilt my demure image. hahaha. (want to gag). Well, some of my girl friends and females language are even more "colourful". The "damn" word to them is just a baby's word.

Today, at work, encountered so many problems. Actually had arranged a photoshoot at a wine cooler showroom weeks ago. The freelancer writer had come down to our office to pass us the pictures and to confirm the shoot. But then, there came a call from one of our designers saying that for their shoot, their photographer had an accident, was "bai2 kah" and they had to used our photographer instead, as their shoot is more important. Hence the wine cooler shoot had to be canceled. Boss was at the meeting, so not time to seek her approval.
So 先斩后奏 "xian1 zhan3 hou4 zou4".

Imagine how we try to hide our fear when she ask the freelancer that why was she still at the office and not prepare to go for the shoot!

Somehow, we all think it is "heaven's will" that the shoot was cancel. Cos due to the cancellation, the freelancer got nothing to do and ask me to open up her story layout. Oh my gosh, it turn out to be a lot of pictures were wrong for the review on the household appliances. Not only some of the pictures were swopped, other pictures were missing and replaced by wrong pictures. Our boss had given that page a "final layout" weeks ago and it was presently at the reproduction house. Heng the freelance writer was around to spot the mistakes. Imagine if that page was published with all the mistakes!

The 3 of us (designer, freelance writer and I) had to settle the problem without alarming our boss. The designer was secretly re-doing that page while I had to "ja-ga" (Malay for "protect") them and notify her if our boss step out of her room. I think she was very suspicious that we did not go out for our lunch.

I'm not going to elaborate the ordeal on how we manage to re-do the layout. Once it is finish, ard 2pm, we went down to our canteen to grab a bite. I was mentioning my boss' name (on why we can't tell her) as we turned into a bend and saw her walking RIGHT TOWARDS US!!! Alamak , dunno did she heard her name being mention. U know, ppl ears really go on "radar alert mode' when their names were being mentioned.

If she heard it, me suay lor......

Well, at night, just received a sms from my colleague that she prefer that we go for our first Hip Hop lessons next Sunday instead. Sigh! Was actually looking forward to the lesson this Sun.

For those to knew me (Actually I hadn't even decide to let my close friends view this weblog yet), I'm sure yr eyes had popped out when I mentioned abt Hip hop.

Shall mention abt my sudden interest in Hip Hop in the next entry.

The First Post

Ok. Really dunno how to start. Had been testing out the Chinese fonts 看得到吗? But they don't appeared on the description.

Had been contemplating to start a web blog for some time. I had started new year resolution of writing diary this year. Writing in Chinese leh, on a nice diary book I had bought. Dunno why it turned out that 99% of the entry were talking abt "T". Especially during our first two months together.

While my diary entries are more 感性(sentimental), I guess the entries here will show another side of me. Will this be the place for me to vent my anger, for me to grumble? To talk crap or be serious and talk abt philosophy? I really don;t know. I dun wish to restrict myself either. So talk crap lor.

I think I am the sort of person who even though reveal much of my feelings to close friends, they still don't understand me fully. There are a few different sides of me , you see. When I was schooling, i was the quiet type. In my club, I was the active type. With some close friends, I am the "siao-zar-bor" ( actually , I think we are all "siao siao" ). Now at my new workplace, I am the good natured girl (actually I was controling myself whenever someone bullies or irritate me).

I had always been trying to protect myself and my friends. The online world is actually a place where privacy can be invaded easily. As this is something like a diary, i still wish to retain some privacy of my own. Hence all the names mentioned here will be replaced by letters which are not their real initials. I think even if I get my friends to read the entries, they will have to figure out who are the people I had mentioned.

Even my name here --Harmonie Wong, is just a nickname, but there's a story behind it. "Wong" is not my surmame as appeared in NRIC. So why did I chose it? Well, it was something to do with family roots.( i am not telling much). as for "Harmonie" -- i chose it because that was the best name out of the four names i was given to choose from to pair with "Wong". This is something to due with numerology. "Wong" = 11. I need a "number-24" name to pair with "Wong" to get a number 35, which is good for me. Give a choice of "Maybella", "Harmonie", "Pearline" and "Beranice", I decided to use "Harmonie" in the end as it sounds just the same like "harmony".

That's it for the day.
Guess my writing style is rather "rojak"-- with a mixed usage of English, Chinese and dialects here and there. What to do?
I am a true Singaporean mah! :P.

PS; after preview my post, seems like all the chinese characters I type turned out to be weird symbols. Guess i had to use HanYu Pinyin next time.
