the long weekend.

hmm actually got quite a lot of things to write from last thur to Sun. But then, was unwilling to share to 'trespassers' ( yeah, those ppl who know me but I did not give my blog's URL to). So going to post some at my other blog instead.

Thur 24 March
(check out my other blog again)

Fri 25 Mar
Went to Sentosa to get tan. Was slightly sunburn but too bad by now the tan faded slightly.
Didn't expect the turnout of 12 ppl. Guess words get around.
But it was quite fun. First we played basketball, and I got cut, but thanks to the injury, I can stay out of water when we played "Monkey" at the seaside. Then came a round of "human burial"

Shall show u this pic taken by Yiwei first. I had not upload mine's yet.




It was quite tiring burying two big-sized guys-- Chengyao andWeiZhen. :P

Then came a round of beach volleyball, with Yiwei demonstrating " with style, but without skills". Hahaha


Sat 26 Mar

"burnt" my friend's ear, cos ask her to help me select songs. hahah shall elaborate in my other blog.

Sun 27 Mar

Whoose. So releive taht we all amde it safe back to home. My sis drove us to and back from grandma house. From central Singapore to Tampines.

Really scary when my dad ask her to switch on Air-con when we first got into the car, and her reply was "Where?". Whoa, if she unfamiliar with all the buttons, how?

This gal rather "hiong" lah. Travelling past 90km on the highway at times, and using central lane instead of left lane. (tot beginners always use left lane as much as possible?). Her turning wasn't that good, turned rather wide, so worried the car might hit the curb. Her parking also not that good, keke.
But she's good girl lah, did check when turning into merged lanes, but got horned by impatient driver behind. We burst out laughing when she scolded "Idiot". Must have learnt that from my dad.

thoughts

• 那首“童话" 其实很“童话"， 你不觉得吗？
  会有个男人向你承诺： 他要变成天使，守护着你，
  两人一定会有幸福快乐的结局。
  我想只有在故事里才可找到吧！

• Was told to dressed up next Tue for work. As in formal wear, preferable with coat. Why? Simply because we are having a media briefing,and we had to look good.
  I sort of hate formal wear, but had been wearing semi-formal since Feb.
  Think I was so used to it that my casual wear on weekends seems "smart-casual" to friends. Eg: 3/4 sleeve black T-shirt with white skirt.
  Rather reluctant to be involve on this type of formal media events, quite ironic right, considering I had quite a few encounters when I was an active txy.

童话 lyrics and I have the MTV clip

Just gotten hold of the MTV file. Actually wasn't that touched when I heard the song, just think that it is melodous but after watching the MTV, was so touched that I almost cried. Quite surprised to know the song was composed by Taichi Nakamura, so is it a 翻唱歌曲?
Arh, poor gal in the MTV--- she died of cancer, and Guang Liang played a devote bf and struggling singer who made it in the end. Hmm shan't talk so much abt it, let u all find out yrslef.

Here's the lyrics.



童话

歌手:光良 专辑:童话


忘了有多久
再没听到你
对我说你最爱的故事
我想了很久
我开始慌了
是不是我又做错了什么

你哭着对我说
童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂
从你说爱我以后
我的天空星星都亮了

我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局


你哭着对我说
童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂
从你说爱我以后
我的天空星星都亮了

我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

我要变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

我会变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
一起写我们的结局

Monday nite @ Muchuan ( talk abt selfisness)

Yah, went down to that place again, wth Sips (who else?) to pass the 4 singers their photos.

Ximei came but didn't sang onstage, cos she's still having a bad sore throat. Was surprise how serious she is offstage. Well, before the performance start, she was at our table (Sips was away, dunno why).Was showing her my secret project and then started to talk about Arts. She was rather open, telling me abt that she is actually older than Jianhua, her 9-5 job ( no relations to her interest) and then she was involved in some script writing and now with Muchuan during her free time. Somehow went into the topic of abstract art. Was telling her how I dunno how to appreciate my ex-colleague's painting, and she suddenly seem interested to know what type of abstract art it is.
Coversation then was about she prefers abstract art pieces like Piccaso's,to those which are just a display of colours as for the former, you can still be able to see something, like the face. But for the latter, the artwork is just a display of the artist's emotions. Which she personally think that it is quite selfish for the artist. And not many would be able to relate to it, unless they had experienced the same feelings as the artist.

Agree with her on this point too, and which is why i think 他们的作品不容易卖出。
Was thinking abt this phrase that Ximei mentioned quite a few times :艺术家是自私的. She used to argue abt this, then later realised some truth in it. Especially after she had written a "controversial" script, where she conveyed her feelings regarding some type of she people she strongly believe that they exist.
Well,I thought abt the stories I had written in Huixun years ago. Sort of had a "saga" over one story, one that I strongly insist on havig a sad ending, despite another member continued the story with a happy ending. Why i insist on having a sad ending, cos I strongly beleive that 不是每个爱情像童话，不可能每个故事的结局是“两人永远快乐”。当时，我也是自私的，坚决要故事里的女主角痛苦地活着，毕竟那时我的作品，结局该由我来主宰。

Haha, what I am babbling now. Ok get back to what happened. Hmm regarding the performance. Well, it was rather ok. A bit disgusting at one point when they talked abt how Ah Du played with shit when he was young. Somehow, I really think that somethhing is missing without Ximei around. Perhaps lacked the cute cute comments from Ximei. Haha. Yah, the Monday dang seems to be a perfect one with four of them. They need Ah du to play keyboard, and he "specialised" in English songs and those smoothing , melodious songs.He is the most expressive (in singing) out of the four. Meilian is one with a 感性 voice, she can sings Tanya and Sun Yanzi's songs quite well. Ximei is the cute lively one , who tackles mostly Chinese classics songs like 喜欢你，我愿意 and 水的话. Jianhua is the guitarist, whose voice is different from Ah Du, he is more "specialised" in "manly" songs and xinyaos.


Had a gastric attack halfway through their performance. Dunno why it happened, even though I had dinner with Sips just before their performance. And I really 吃错药, thought I had the Veragel tablets with me, end up eating Trachisan (for sore throat). Was sucking on one for a few moments, then realised my mistake and immediately spit it out. Duh! Cos both tablets are white. So I don't have any gastric pills with me at all. Luckily, the small convenience store outside Muchuan was still open and Sips helped to get me a packed of milk.

Well, stayed back quite late, Sips stayed even later. should let her to explain in her blog. Guess she must be in her "童话" now. :P

Sat to Mon

Woke up today with less than 4 hrs of sleep. Almost can’t put in my contact lens, the left lens fell out moment I open my eyes.
Lack of sleep due to working on secret project. Shall I say it’s 50% done. Well, by looking at it, it’s 50% done, but I had sort of have the remaining text ready. Just that it’s not printed out yet. Hmm what u guess I am doing? Sounds like writing a novel. Nah…
Shan’t tell u. Keke.

Expected completion date: end of this week.

Yah,right after waking up in the morning, before I could open my mouth, have to do some breathing exercise, as instructed. But since I dun wanna my sis to wake up and scream for seeing such a sight ( she might think I am attacking her if I am at the “hands up-pose” ), I had to do it…. in the toilet. Arghhhh. At least toilet not so smelly lah.


Oh yah, went down to Baoguan to attend the Freshmen Orientation Nite. This is the 1st time that the food was not sufficient for all. Yah, cos there are 94 newbies this year. That's a lot. Not many "lao yings" came down. Well, if given a choice, I would not have gone down if not to help Sips doing her make-up. Keke as I could have spent the time working on the secret project.
*******************

Have quite a few things to follow up at work. Finally managed to send out a detailed email informing staff abt the new booking system. Before sending it out, send to my supervisor for comments. In case I had made grammar mistakes. (Made quite a few the last time, and was called into my supervisor’s office, where she explained to me the mistakes. Really seems like English tuition. Yah though she’s nice, but still I made those mistakes which can be avoided).
Keke. She replied with a “ Good. Please go ahead “. Hmm was wondering the “good” is just a common phrase.


Arghh, my partner found two typo errors. Arghhh. !!!!!!!

Mood: craving for chocolate & sleep!

水的话 , 倒带

水的话

词曲：梁文福

我是小溪，源自山中，
潺潺流过，郁郁清葱。

吐向大海，与鸟与共，
晨光一催，缕缕升空。

浮云一片，飘南北西东，
谁也不知，我的行踪。

轻轻化做，烟雨朦胧，
丝丝落在，你的心中。



倒带
作词:方文山 作曲:周杰伦

我受够了等待 你所谓的安排
说的未来到底多久才来
总是要来不及 才知道我可爱
我想依赖而你却都不在

应该开心的地带 你给的全是空白
一个人假日发呆 找不到人陪我看海
我在幸福的门外 却一直都进不来
你累积给的伤害 我是真的很难释怀

终於看开爱回不来而 你总是太晚明白
最後才把话说开 哭著求我留下来

终於看开爱回不来 我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开 宁愿没出息 求我别离开

你总是要我乖 慢慢计划将来
我的眼泪却一直掉下来
过去怎么去交代 你该给的信赖
被你亲手缓缓推入悬崖

从我脸上的苍白 看到记忆慢下
来过去甜蜜在倒带 只是感觉已经不在
而我对你的期待 被你一次次摔坏
已经碎成太多块 要怎黱拼凑跟重来

# 终於看开爱回不来 而你总是太晚明白
最後才把话说开 哭著求我留下来
终於看开爱回不 来我们面前太多阻碍
你的手却放不开 宁愿没出息求我别离开#
repeat #

updates

Just a quick update on the week.
Still having less then 6 hrs of sleep for this week. Groan. Broke my record liao. It's been three weeks......
Working on my secret project. Made some progess so far. But i really worried if I can finish by this Sunday.
Arhh no time to spare.


Had been running around at work this week. Tues was hectic, rushing some covers, missed lunch then meet up with 2 vendors regarding premiums. Went back to headquarters on Wed, then went down town to source for books. Well, seems like to day have to go down to supermarket (ha, official shopping time)and then attending a short webpage design course in the afternoon.

We had been getting pissed of with our CSO (remember the lower-ranking but 倚老卖老 woman I had mentioned. Groan. Dunno how to deal with her. Even my my partner, who is her supervisor, asked her to despatch a document to a nearby office, she dare to say " Now weather so now, I come back sure have headache and I need to go home to cook one ". My partner was fuming, but she can control her temper better than me( I simply just walked away in case i blew up). Then even after telling her that she can take underpass, she retorted "Tell me, how many times a month I must do this".

Hey! My partner and I had been delivering documents for the past 3 times, and we only ask this CSO to do it that day as she was busy and can't leave the office. I was expecting someone and couldn't leave either. If our supervisor comes to know that we (MSO) had been doing the hand-deliveries, she'd already assigned the job to that old woman.

Really dunno how to handle this type of person. We had been bearing with her stubborness and attitude problems. And she, knowing she is unpopular, started to spend long hours gossiping on the phone with people from the headquarters. Through another colleague located at the headquarters, we know that the people there know thought that we th two MSO are branded as "demanding". Well, all thanks to that old woman. Dunno what vicious lies she told....

pics - though may be a bit late in posting

我猜，我猜，我猜猜猜

Question 1: Guess what is this?





Answer: A structure made up of organic materials which was displayed at the Esplanade. (see below)





Question 2: Guess what is this or where is this taken?





Haha. Seems like an artistic shot right? Nah, it was taken from upright from where I was sitting when I was at Esplanade, attending the Muchuan concert. So next time, if you are attending a cencert at the Esplanade concert hall, remember to look up and see if you get the same view as the above pic.

**************
Ms Evils
One fine afternoon, my colleague (J) and I received an email from our IT technician, calling us Ms Evils. See pic below, names have been erased for privacy purposes.






In case u are getting any wrong ideas, here's an account of what had happened. While walking back from the pantry, we saw our IT Technican engrossed at his laptop. We often wonder why we need to have an IT technician stationed in our office everyday as usually there's no complains of faulty computer systems. We wondered how he spent the day when there is no work for him to do. So we quietly went to the cubicle behind his (it was used for putting boxes of envelopes )and I climbed up to see what he was doing.
Hahaha, I almost burst out laughing. We scampered off and I was still giggling when I told J that the "uncle" was playing Solitaire on his laptop. J suggested that we go and "ji-siao" him. He was rather surprised when we walked past his cubicle and "scolded" him : "Playing card games on computer har!".

Minutes later, we received the above email, and J replied as follows, specially increase the font size to create impact.






In the end, he could only act cool and reply “还好我没做亏心事。”

My 1st Full Meal Last Week.






Yah, it doesn't look good, but it was my first proper, full meal for last week. Was having dinner at Marche, Heeren, sort of to de-stress. Hadn't been to Marche for about a year, seems that the layout had changed,and they had implement this "Minimun $10 spending per person" policy. My plate of grilled chicken and mash potato costed less than $10, so had to buy a drink to top up. Calamansi with sour plum is really shiok , but my friends, who tried a sip, claimed that it was too sour. Sometimes I wondered if my sense of taste is a bit "haywire", I can't stand a speck of spicy food or chilli, but can tahan sourness quite well.

They really changed the dates.....

I am sure my memory never failed me. I am sure that I really did applied for Univerity enrolment in March last year after the Career Fair. Which is why I assumed it's around the same period this year.

A good thing about bloging is that I can track back the events happened. Looking at last year 13 March post, I wrote that I had taken leave to went down to NTU for the Uni application.

See, I didn't recalled the wrong dates!

Darn, when did MOE changedthe application dates for Poly students, why did I never come across any notice. why did I missed out any notices?

sianzzzzzzzzzzzz.


Was down with cold, drinking 2 sachets of Lemsip doesn't help. Had to come to work today cos I had schedulde to meet 2 vendors this afternoon who are coming to show me samples of their products. Yah, my company is considering to come up with some premiums.
Well, this is something I hadn't done before. In my previous company, it's the Branding and Promotions people who are in charge of sourcing for premiums.

When my ex-colleague had heard abt my project, she said that it's good experience for me. At least I am learning something useful now. Yah, but i rather hate to 应酬 people. Find it quite awkward to get different vendors to come to my office to show me their products, but in the end, can only choose one. How to reject others without offending them?

The telephone line

Let me whine and grumble here, cos I had need to 发泄. It’s better I发泄 here than发泄 at my friends. That’s why at times I prefer to shut out friends than lashing out “my happenings” when I see them..

Settled one matter, though my friends were saying I shouldn’t have done that. One was saying whether I pay or don’t pay their debts, it’s still a lose-lose situation for me as sooner or later, everything will still be pushed to me.

Another friend called me , just minutes after I had gotten the queue number to settle the payment at Singtel Hello shop, was about to advised me not to pay as I had already given them the money. But too late lor.

I guessed I am still blessed by heaven, considering if not for the $490 in 4D winnings, my lose will be greater. Though some will say if this had not happened, I can have $490 to enjoy. (Yah, wanted to go Taiwan but then seems like no friends keen on going this June liao).

What happened on Sunday morning before I made the trip down to Singtel really made me feels that I was picked from some rubbish dump by my parents when I was young. They are not appreciative, if not at least guilty at all. When I asked for my Dad IC, since he is busy (and to save him ‘face’) to go down, he simply asked what is it for and signed the letter without a word. Ok perhaps he think it’s not his fault too as it was my mum who kept the money. And my mum, that money-faced woman who do not even feel ashamed at all for “swallowing” all the money entrusted to her, sill scolded me “ she never think how much money spent raising her ”

Hey if she wants to be so calculative, I can simply argue with her that this is another matter, I have given her the extra money to settle bills for months and months, yet dunno where all these money goes too. If she wanna talk about how much she spent raising me, I can argue that how heartless she is, leaving me to support myself since I choose to enroll in Poly at 17 yrs old, and had been giving her allowance from my 1st part time job at 15 yrs old. While my sis, till now at 21 yrs old, despite having lots of part time jobs, never even give her any allowance.

Back to the topic. When I made a phone call to Singtel customer service two days before I went down, the customer service officer actually thought my dad “ was deceased” upon hearing the situation that I wanna transfer line and his bills unpaid. Ha. Yah, come to think of it, no proper family would have owed so much in residential phone line for months.

Went down to Hello shop, got a queue number and was told that I had to wait for about an hour and they’ll give me a call when it’s abt my turn while I hang around at the nearby shops. Sianzz.

And you know what happened, even though I have the all the documents ready – authorization letter and both parties’ ICs, the CSO (customer service officer) told me that she cannot do the line transfer cos my dad have to clear all his bills under his name first, which mean that includes his mobile phone bills. (I really dunno what’s happening to him ). I must have look quite desperate, by mentioning I only realized abt the outstanding payments after the line was cut off and I am helping to clear his residential bills but totally unaware of his mobile bills. In the end, she told me she’d process the transfer of ownership of phone line but Singtel may call me (instead of my dad) to chase the mobile phone bill payments. So off I went, to make payments at the AXN machine, and would be receiving a bill for the transfer and phone lock service soon.


Was wondering should I buy a phone as now I have my own line. But then, I hardly receive any calls from my home number. Shall monitor the situation first.

Honestly, I am feeling 无奈 and "显". Hopefully this case is closed. but still feeling 彷徨 as I really dunno what my future study plans are. Was full of hope to try out my last stake at this year Uni application, only o find my hop dashed as i had missed the closing date of application. Mum came to know abt it when i was talking when my uncle asked me yesterday eveing.Darn that woman, she didn't even care. I guessed she might be feeling glad that i didn't have a chance at all.

A series of unhappy events

Sometimes, I don't wish to go home, can't stand that place anymore.
Already felt so despaired yesterday, yet my parents did something which made me feel pissed off.
Not to me though, but to my bro.

Just because my mum suddenly went into bro's room, and caught him sms \-ing instead of doing homework, she create a big fuss by snatching away his handphone and then took it to her room. Then bro was very angry when he saw them reading all his sms, and asked them not to read, saying that those are private matters.

Mum shouted:"为什么不可以看。你没做错事怕什么！”

I really condemn this type of thinking, she always think that as a parent, she can see anything belong to us , always thinking that she’s right.

Yes, I 'll always remember years ago, she opened up my bank account statement, even though the letter was addressed to me and marked “Private & Confidential”. I still remembered how despicable she was, opening up my dad’s letters, asking me to explain the English terms, and then glued the envelope back.

Bro was unhappy, cos he’s 15yrs old and still being treated this way. He banged his water bottle while washing. And “thanks” to my mum who 加盐加醋, my dad got fed up, closed the doors and whacked my bro.

I was bathing then, but I could hear my bro screaming in pain and my dad shouting. Think he whacked him with his belt(which he always did). And my mum still trying to make matters worse by adding how lazy my bro was, always playing video or computer games.

I dunno what happened exactly, but could figured out that my dad made my bro throw away things he had bought using his own savings,(maybe it’s those Gundam figurines and those cards). I felt so sorry for my bro, if my dad threw away those Gundam toys, some were bought by me and my sis as his presents. And I know my poor bro, had to skip meals at recess, to buy those Gundam models. But he has a talent for fixing them, he could fix up a medium size one in less than 2 hrs.

There are some things that my dad found, for I heard him scolding my bro regarding another mater. And my mum was like continuing to make matters worse, saying she always sees him using the internet or playing games when she return from work.

One thing she never realized, though my bro had a part to play for not having good grades, she’s at fault too. My bro is not stupid, for he was one of the top in class when he was in kindergarten and in lower primary. Hadn’t my mother realized that it was she who wanted to have more money (to herself), went to work part-time, leaving my bro alone at home. With nobody around at home, and not allowed to go out, that’s y he’ll feel bored and rather play games to pass his time.
Didn’t she realize that she got a part to play in educating him, and her way of disciplining him doesn’t work.

Don’t feel like continue writing this piece anymore………..

我真得很累了。。。。。

why?

It happened on Sun, but I am still upset over my mum who 无缘无故，无理取闹, screamed at me, "We will not give you any money if u go further studies".

I never asked any money from them.Then I realised what she mean. And she continued "读多么书有什么用！” Darn, all she cares about is money, money money.
Simply because if I going to further studies, that means I am quitting my job, and that means that she will have less money to keep as I won't be able to give her allowance. ( no salary mah).

She is working part time (to earn more $), and my dad gives her more than half of his salary, and plus the monthly allowance I gave her now. It's not as if we cannot make ends meet. Just because she still wanna keep as much $ as possible doesn't mean that I have to sacrifice my dream to further studies right? :(

It doesn't help when your family is unsupportive...... I didn't asked for financial support, yet they don't allow me to upgrade myself. Why are they being so selfish, hadn't I sacrifice enough by choosing to go for Poly instead of JC , so that my dad will only need to support one child to Uni ( which is my sis).

And you know what's worse, just found out this morning that the application for poly grad is closed on 21 Feb.
Did I remember the dates wronlgy, cos i thought I applied in March last year, right after I visited the career and education fair.
Did I missed out any notice on the newspaper?

Really in despair now, cos I don't even have the chance to try for a place. (* Sips, U still have chances, unlike me). This year is very crucial, cos it's the last year for me to apply under category B before I will be considered as matured applicant. Chances for poly grads to get in are slim, unless u are in top 5%, but I'll still try.

BUT RIGHT NOW IS THAT I CAN'T EVEN APPLY ANYMORE!
Why did I missed the datelines????????????

Mood: Half zombified, due to the lack of sleep . Think i broke my record for having less than 5 hrs of sleep consecutively for 2 weeks.

Quote from a monthly astrology website: "Your luck will be centered on "eighth house" finances, and come arrive as an approved bank loan or mortgage, venture capital check, inheritance, severance package, job perks, an insurance payout, commission, royalty, licensing fee, prize winning or as an unexpected windfall from another source. ......This combination of planets is quite potent--to take full advantage, you may want to buy a scratch-off lotto ticket or enter to win a charity raffle! Watch what happens when Venus and Uranus align perfectly on Thursday, March 3. ...........
Summary: Even in other areas, you seem to have the Midas touch. A small windfall could be yours on March 3 or 4. "


Yah I read it on 1 March, and it just happened that i passed by a Singapore Pools shop on the way to the bus stop on 2 March, suddenly recalled abt the astrology forecast and decided to buy a $2 quick pick for 3 March and $1 each for 2 numbers on weekend (just to try my luck).

Imagine my suprise when I found out on friday that i gotten 4 matching numbers on 3 March Toto. Since that includes the bonus number, I only won the smallest prize. But it was quite unexpect , and $20 already covered my investment" of $2 :

Wrote in my previous blog post that on Friday, found out that parents had owe $485 to Singtel for a residential line, and was so pissed off that they had not been paying though i did gave them the $. So now, can't access internet from home and they refused to pay.

Was vexed whether should I pay using my hard-earned savings, but now seems that there is a way .
Cos on sat evening, just happened that while I was having my dinner in the kitchen, listening to radio, DJ was announcing 4D results at that time. I was deep in thoughts (mainly over the debts) and suddenly, i heard that the 4 digits for the 3rd prize was 8890 . I was stunned. Hey didn't I bought $1 big on those numbers.




Found out that after tax, I'll be getting $490, which 's "just nice' to cover their stupid overdue payments of $485.

But i had my reservations. Should I help them, cos it's not my responsibility ( given them their monthly allowance and extra yet I dunno where did those $ gone). I'm afraid that they might taken me for granted and wlll ask me to pay for future "debts". I could just keep the money to myself, save half of it (can earn interest), while using the other half to upgrade my mobile phone.....

Was the horoscope forecast so accurate or it's just a coincidence? It's seems like Heaven planned all this so "nicely", gave me $490 which just enough to cover the bills.....

****************
received sms from sis during lunch, asking me if i am settling their overdue fines, cos my dad cannot claim Red Rewards points until he cleared all payment. Grrr, did she ever realised that she was one of the main cause of the high phone bill charges ( she was often online til late midnight). Darn, now chasing me to pay while I have not even collected the winnings. Darn, as if all my $ belongs to them.

ARRGHHHHHHHHHHHH & concert

Early in the morning, had to blog. COS I NEED TO 发泄!

Was really pissed off by my blood sucking parents.
This morning, remind dad to pay for the telephone bill of the other telephone line which we used for internet, ( the line was cut of due to late payment) as I need to use the internet to file income tax and to try to apply for university. ( not wise to use office network and they block a lot of sites). I did gave my mother extra $30 every month for the usage. It’s already quit unfair as I had been using less than $20 for these few months and most of the time, it is my brother who connect to the internet when he reach home or my sis who the who midnight on the net chatting. At that time, it was agreed that I pay for my share, while they pay for the sis and bro shared ( so unfair!)


But u know what my dad said today “No Money to pay”.

Hey, what he meant by this, I had given my mum money, yet they won’t pay.
I went to take a look at the bill, and you know what I found :

OVERDUE CHARGES OF $485!

I asked my mum why did they never pay when I had already given them the money for my usage ( and not to mention the extra $50 dad took from me and give to my mum, saying that’s for the bill), .
That sucker money-keeping woman, simply brush off with a sentence “Not my business”.

And my dad was like saying if I want to use, I ‘ll pay for the whole thing.

Hey what’s the meaning of this, I had been giving them my share for the past years, And Now they want me to settle all these debts, where it wasn’t all incurred by me in the first place.

I left home for work with angry tears in my eyes, and overheard my mum saying I have $ to buy clothes.

Pissed off, it is not as if I never gave her allowance every month. I planned my expenses carefully, that’s y I have $ to buy one or two clothes monthly. I did bought a few formal clothes for my new job this month as I only have casual wear for my previous job.

I really regret giving her $80 more on top of the regular allowance this month as I got a slight increment in my new job.

Now looking at it, it’s really not fair. I am eating into my own salary instead.
Look at the breakdown.

Increment (after CPF) = $96
But I give my mum extra $80.
And then there in increment in transport cost of $60
And now had to pay for newspapers --$40

See my expenses already increased by around $90, yet they expect me to pay for the their debts.

UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that I have to pay for the telephone usage, while my sis and bro don’t need to pay.
Why is still that they never settle the bill when I had already given them the money. Where did all the money gone? She keep and keep all the money, come to think of it, I really dunno where those money goes to.

I was wondering should I pay for this bill or else I’ll never get any internet access. But sis and bro will continue happily spending hours on the internet. Can you believe the telephone charges (just the normal call charge) for last month is a whooping $56! Residential phone line leh, not mobile line.

Then I remembered that Singtel may have this call barring function, which means before I left home, I can key in the pin number to prevent others from making phone calls when I am not around. But upon checking with Singtel, it cos $50 for 1st activation and $12 for every 3 months. But if I was to apply for that, that means I have to take over the overdue charges of $485.


ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


What to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok. Was feeling so pissed off that I dun want even want to mention much on the Muchuan Concert at Esplanade yesterday.
Well, was amazed by the interiors of the concert hall. The view would be better if we were seated one or two rows behind our seats, even though we were seated at the 1st row of the most expensive seats.

Performance by the singers were rather perfect, and the only person who obviously made a mistake was Chongqing, (yes the Fm 933 DJ, who finally cut his ugly long hair). Strange that given his experiences in hosting live game shows and DJ experiences, he was rather nervous. Could see his head broke got out in sweat when he was talking to the compare, JinWei, after he sang 2 songs from his album. Ha, I’m not a fan of his, and really think that there are some Muchuan singers who sang better than him, who should cut an album of their own too. Like Liqing, who not only has a powerful voice, but also got the looks and good 台风.

Sips was giggling when she saw Ah-du, cos he looked like a “mushroom”. Brown knitted vest over white shirt – very unlike him. Hmm now we know why the Monday dang don’t want to sing “原点” on Monday, cos he as going to perform this song at the concert (as lyrics written by him.)

We were rather “disgusted” by the special guest, Pan An Bang, who seems to suffer mid-life crisis, trying to dress like hip young pop star. No comments abt his singing but was uncomfortable with his style – the way where he keep making cold jokes abt the old “Pan Ang Bang”, how “not old” he is, keep asking audience “好不好听” after singing a song, asking people to buy his new album ( which was out last Oct). It seems like he was treating this like his own concert instead of Muchuan concert……

Caught Sips’ wandering eyes quite a few times. Seems like her dream guy Jianhua didn’t attend the concert.
Hmm wondering how’s she feeling now, as she’s suppose to receive her results today. Good luck, gal.

Status of “secret project”: didn’t manage to do anything last nite as I seemed to have caught the flu bug. So what I manage to do was downloading the pics from my digicam. Grrhhhr pics were like “shit”. Not that the people are like shit. It’s my fault. Shouldn’t have taken caffeine that day as it will make my hands tremble a little. But given the lack of sleep, I really need the caffeine boost. To make things worse, I was suddenly feeling very "drained out" at that time, so really no energy to stablise hand. Had not only wasted my time and wasted people’s time too. Sian………. See how I can salvage those pics…. :(

Feeling sian now, having a heavy head & cough. Grrh, how enjoy concert tomorrow?

Anyway, my colleague and I were being “bad influence” again. We showed an auntie colleague how to use web version of msn messenger and taught her to use it, so we can chat secretly at work. Hahahaha.

Monday evening @ The Ark

Wake up feeling really tired. Guessed it’s due to the lack of sleep consecutively for the past few days. Boh-bian mah, work on that “secret project”.

Went to Muchuan yesterday ( for the “secret project”. Erms Sips, I dun wanna mention what I did at the end cos my other friends are reading my blog and dun wanna them know abt the project until I completed it) , almost made Sips feeling uneasy when she saw me passing a slip of paper to Meilian. Haha she thought I was going to sabo her. Nah, it was me up to mischief :). Had prepared a big dedication sheet, with a dedication note for her ( Can’t write on the spot , as she’ll see it. Specially dedicated the song “一步一步来” . Well, that’s the joke between us....Though dedicating that song means that her dream guy will surely sang for her, however he didn’t read that dedication message to her. Ximei read it instead. Sigh, was thinking that Sips will be flustered if he read out that sentence "Girl arh….”. So mission not fully accomplished.

Was rather tired in the end, and due to the caffeine, I can’t complete the task I did after the performance smoothly. Don’t wanna waste their time, so I’ll make do with whatever I have.

Actually yesterday’s performance was not as fun as last Monday. The two guys were a bit 心不在焉, but it’s good to see Ximei back to her bubbly style. We caught Ah-Du “um-chio” a lots of times, later realized that was his gave-away sign whenever he played wrong chords. Caught Jianhua singing the wrong lyrics from 记事本 the moment he substitute another two word from the next verse. Really wanna strangle him for singing my fav songs wrong (it happened once with 黄昏 weeks ago). Somehow, he knew how to disguise his mistake well, I dun think many caught him singing the 2 wrong words, but then that’s my fav song, so I knew the lyrics well by heart. Really think that Meilian sang the song better. ( Sips gonna kill me for this, keke).

Going for the concert thisThu, but not looking forward to the 3 guest appearances. Haha. Hope to hear more xinyao and classics songs. Hmm 1st time going to attend a concert at Esplanade leh. Seems a bit sua-gu hor.
