Recent happenings
Here's the events/incidents that happened over the past few days
Friday 20 Feb 04
Today, wore a pink tank top and this glittery wraparound skirt to work, which one of my colleague describe as "eclectic", cos I never wear anything of that casual-resort style before.
one of the colleagues said to me "it's such a relief seeing you wearing colours again'.
yeah, as a form of respect and to follow the customs, my family had been wearing those dark, somber colours (black, bark blue, brown or grey) for the past 49 days. Actually we can start wearing colours after 8 feb, but as my mum still continue to wear those darks colours after the 49th day, I also followed until seeing her start wearing a colourful printed shirt on Thur.
******************
A colleague of mine, whom i can consider her as "friend" mention something "weird" to me.
Cos yesterday I had forwarded one of those interesting emails with pics attachment to my office email account, so that I can then forward them to my colleagues. Hence when i sent the email, it still have the signature i used with my singnet account. My signature is a quote that reads:
"Falling in love with someone isn't always going to be easy... Anger... tears... laughter.. It's when you want to be together despite it all. That's when you truly love another. I'm sure of it."
--Keiichi Morisata
this was what my colleague DJB said :"You know. I was so shocked when I saw the email from you and was wondering why could you have my signature. Then i realised u are using the same quote that i use as my signature in my personal yahoo email account."
"Maybe you two are fated to be friends.' another colleague, C said.
Yah. Such as coincidence, that we both use the same quote for years in our personal email account.

Sat 21 Feb 2004
well, in short, i could say today was a long but enjoyable day.
Morning, went to help out in my club's event. had to reach Orchard at 7.20am in the morning.
A friend asked me to accompany her to her school as she need to interview some people for her report in the evening. As i had nothing planned , so went with her.
but then since the event ended ard 1pm, which means we were free for the whole afternoon,so went for an impromptu KTV sesson. Haha, just the two of us singing KTV for 3 hrs.
One thing though, my voice was very bad as I having lots of phlegm , so was sing with a heavy nasal voice (bi2 ying1hen3 zhong4). but nevermind lah, just treat it as a warm-up, cos tomorrow will be singing karaoke again with my bunch of "sisters" (whose singing skills are rather good).
As for the trip with my friend to her school (a tertiary institution) for her interview.. well, i can say the students-in-charge she interviewed are so warm and hospitable that they really made me feel so 受宠若惊(shou4 chong2 ruo4 jing1). i was just accompanying her, and was the one writing the report for their play, yet they also pay attention to me, such as carrying our bags, asking us if we need any drinks, getting chairs for us to sit while the rest of the people involved in the play were sitting on the floor. When I stood up to help my friend and one of the girls from the musical group sat on my chair, someone must had noticed i was standing while waitch their rehearsal and then one guy brought a chair to me and insisted that I be seated. Before we left, the producer of the play, even asked us how many free tickets we would like and they can arrange for that.
I told my friend, the people I interviewed in the past were not so warm as them. Some of them were even so awkward abt being interviewed that it was difficult to get the details from them.
i even asked my friend whether did she think they are really that warm and hospitable in nature or they were nice to us cos she is writing on their play and giving them publicity. She felt that they are really that warm in nature.
Ok Ok. Maybe it;s just that i am so accustomed to the cold attitude of Singaporeans that I doubt those students.
But then, from what i know, one of them isn't a local, and maybe all those that my friend interviewed are not Singaporeans too.
Maybe that why's they are not so cold or ignorant as typical Singaporeans

Sun 22 Feb 2004.
KTV session with my bunch of "sisters" turn out to be one 'sis" and her friend (a guy, who is rather unfriendly), as the other gal cannot make it today.
Haha, yesterday's warm-up session did help as I sang better today (cos i purposely choose those songs I am more confident & familiar with) somemore, sing in front of a stranger, must not "lao-kui".
What I am going to say may sound bad, but i really felt uncomfortable then as the presence of that guy really spoilt our (my friend and i) chance for "sister bonding".
Took my leave after the karaoke session as i need to go to Spotlight to buy some handicraft items. Went shopping for my friends' birthday gifts for a short while before going back home for dinner.
