May The Floss Be With You
Nope, i didn't misspell
"Force" as
"Floss". It was intended. kekeke read on, and u'll know why...
Took my bro to watch Stars Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith yesterday evening.
Shan't go into depth on reviewing the film as I am not a Star Wars fan hence didn't know the characters of the film very well.
Had read abt the 16 mistakes listed on
www.moviemistakes.com but only managed to spot one. Obi-wan's eyes really shifted colours during his conversation with Anakin.
Noticed that Padme was wearing different costumes everytime she came into the scene. There is one scene which her hair was styled like this:
The hairstyle look similiar to hers:
Princess LeiaHmm, wondered how I'd look if i tied two buns at the sides of my head....
Hence I "kop-ed" the two "buns" from Padme and found that this is how I'd look like:
Must give credits to
Ms W.Tay, for helping me to do the additional touch-ups.
Keke I was chatting with her over msn messenger then then told her i did something boh liao, and send her the badly touch up pic I did by using Paint. (had to spray paint the background grey asthe bacground was black, same colour as the hair) Then she kind of dissappear for while and returned, sending me a file thru msn messenger. Haha , so this nice lady had spent the time volunteering her digital touch up services.
If the above pic is not "lame" enough, I had come up with something:
.
This is called :
"May the Floss be with you."Yes, I replaced the "buns" with "Breadtalk Flosss buns"....
Hahaha

from 26 to 28 May
Just a quick summary of events happened.
26 May 2005
Met up with two "ah Shuis" for dinner before the go for their vocal class as this week isn't their work load "peak period" (meaning they could leave office on the dot).
Keke, after leaving the company for a few months, now i sort of forgotten when is the magazine's peak workload period.
So nice to have dinner with them, reminds me of the times where a big group of us went out to have lunch at Genting Canteen or Ruby or JTC.
Received a free copy of Her World from Nana though I asked her to help me to get one from the Circulation instead. (As employees, they could purchase mags at 20% off).
She also passed me two boxes of colourful beads, saying French gotten them when she when to refuel petrol for her car weeks ago, and tot that these beads are "so me". Hmm, dun wanna make them into bracelets as they seems a bit kiddish, perhaps will use them for my cards instead.
Accompanied them to the classroom. Reached there quite early and we compared our notes. Found out that our homework are slightly different. Also saw quite a few familar faces coming into the room at that time. As there's nothing much for me to do at home, decided to wait for them. Poor Jiahao had nothing to read while I was browsing through my magazine.
28 May 2005
Went to attend B. Tan's wedding dinner in the evening. Had to say we are honored to attend his wedding dinner as he only invited the two of us from our organization. He used to work as IT staff located at our headquarters, and thus will drop by to our department whenever there is new staff coming. Recently , he was transferred (could say it’s sort of a promotion) to another organization, hence we are not in contact with him in terms of work.
Hmm, the dinner was held at Neptune --- yes the one famous of the "adult dance" show, but nope, we din get to see the show ( of cos! ). We watched a video whowing the pictures of teh couple -- from their baby pics to their recent pics. The bride used to be quite chubby in her teenage years, and how she's so slim!
Keke the couple really look cute together, cos B is rather tall, more than 1.8m and she;s abt 1.6m.
Can see why B choose the locate as it has a big stage, the tables are arranged in a semi circle in front of the stage. for better viewing . Feels like u are attending a opera with dinner served. Hahaha
Ther is a live band performance, put up by B's friend. Not an impressive show though. There isn't any drum set and it was replaced by some enthic drums insteads. The two females singers choose to sing songs that are really 冷门, and we couldn't really make out what they are singing. Prob not caused by sound system though....
Quite demoralising for them as beside their friends who listening to them, the rest of the guests were continue talking and eating.
It is only when the bride and the bridegroom came on stage to sang an English duet, then the guests give them their full attention. Hmm, the bride has a sweet voice while B sang like ah beng. hahaha.
The couple are rather smart, think they purposely waited till an hour before the dinner end, then they start going round 40 tables to photos with the guest. Thus nobody dare to "sabo" them as they can see they are running short of time.
I expected to see some "cheapo men", getting drunk on the free wine served. But it turned out that one group of aunties getting drunk and rowdy instead....
oh yah,here's a pic of the couple.
Hahaha. just joking. For privacy reasons, I shan't put the pic of them taken with us on this public site. All the guests receive a mini teddy bear each, a refreshing change from the usual slice of fruit cake.

random thoughts
Sort of an overdue post :P. These are some of the things I had in mind during the past two weeks.
想要做的事有很多，
但真正能做到的，又有多少？
*****************************
At times, I am glad that I have the ability to sense what people are thinking and their feelings.
But recently, my sixth sense tells me that someone cannot be trusted, and he/she isn’t as innocent as he/she seems. I wonder if my intuitions are right or I am just being paranoid.
I still remembered a friend of mine used to tell me that I am too innocent and afraid I might be taken advantage of. Even if I do not compete with others, that don’t mean that others won’t see me as a competitor……
我愿意做那片衬托红花的绿叶，
如果那朵红花却把我视为与它争艳的另一朵花，
我也没办法......
************************************
A fortnight ago, Fannie “complained” that she don’t know what to get for me for my birthday because I am too “self-sufficient”. Knew Fannie for 9 years, and because we are such close friends, we are rather direct with each other. We were crapping abt some theme/ décor ideas and then suddenly she popped this question:
“What u want for yr birthday present huh?”
I pondered. There are quite a few things which I want, but money can’t buy. They are also other things which I want too, but I rather put them under the categories of “My goal”, or “Treats for myself”. So that leaves nothing which I need at the moment.
“ Hmm, Really can’t think of any leh”
“Perfume?”
“ Got quite a few bottles at home”. (yeah, right now I have a bottle of Little Prince perfume which I bought at my previous company’s charity auction, a Gucci perfume given my friends last yr, and another Estee Lauder Pleasures fragrance, and a bottle of Beyond Paradise which I am currently using. And not counting my miniatures collection…..)
“赢了啰！香水友好几瓶。Bag, 你也有了。你很 self-sufficient，真不知道要买什么给你。”
Think she faced with the same problem last year, which is why in the end, she got me something practical --- shopping vouchers. So that I can buy whatever I need when the time come.
“Self-sufficient” doesn’t mean I buy a lot of things which I want. It simply means I had bought what I need most at the moment. I could have asked for another bag for work, but I know that I won’t be using it much as I still prefer to use the bag I have at the moment (Some peculiar habits of mine lah).
Right now, I can only think of items which I wanna get using my own money. There are my “goals” to achieve by Jan next year. (heh heh, meaning these are what I might be spending on using my year end bonus)
1) Issey Miyake L’eau D’issey Eau De Toilette (when the Beyond Paradise runs out)
2) Creative MP3 player
3) Special eyelet punching tools for my craftwork
4) Diamond (small pendant lah!) necklace from SK, cos I’ve gotten one for my sis last year, but never treat myself with one too.
5) Another custom-made dress (I’ll come up with the design)
6) Ticket to Snow. Wolf. Lake musical ( yah, have to get it by Sep)
Hmm, shall see how many goals I am able to achieve when I am reflecting on my year spent in 2005.

如果你不小心想起我, 一生何求
Currently listening to these two songs......
How shall I put it : songs' titles sort of related to my mood/thoughts, but the lyrics don't.....
Anyway, the mp3 file of 如果你不小心想起我 I managed to find is sung by 林志炫, not 郑展伦.
Prefer the original version though....
如果你不小心想起我
歌手:郑展伦
作词:梁文福 作曲:梁文福
今夜是否想起我 全世界的窗口都是灯火
独自坐在冷风里 寂寞坐在我心中
陪伴我想着你
今夜是否想起我 全世界的欢笑门前走过
独自退到夜背后 退到记忆的背后
找一个还有你的我
如果你不小心想起我 不要让他拥着你的难过
至少难过留给我 他有你和快乐
就把快乐以外的留给我
如果你不小心想起我 不要让他拥着你的难过
至少难过留给我 请你抬头看一看我有那么辽阔的沉默
朋友们的眼睛围着我 就像遥远温暖的烛火
他们看见我的欢笑 看不到笑容后
那一个渐渐枯萎的我
一生何求
歌手:李克勤 专辑:一生何求
曲:殷文琦 词:何厚华
在这以后要等多久 我的心才不会颤抖
你的容颜不再如此冷漠
一半青春与你度过 如今好像少了甚么
独自一个人 不知怎么走
多少爱恨都能挽留 只是你用力放开手
不必再说到底情缘够不够
分手你有太多借口 等你只有一个理由
相信时间总会让你 感受到我的温柔
我这漫漫一生何求 不过等待一次你的回眸
发现在灯火阑珊处 有个人还在为你守候
我这漫漫一生何求 长夜未尽以前没有对错
如果有情是否也会停留
repeat Verse 2, Chorus, Chorus

20-23 May 2005 ( work, park, Monday at the Ark)
Woke up with less than 2 hrs of sleep.Actually, I should have abt 3 hrs of sleep, but somehow there are lots of things on my mind. (reflections, thoughts, and so on). Seems I am “in the mood”, better jot them down now in case I’ll forget. Hmm think I will split all these into two entries.
Events first:
Friday 20 May
Not a good day at work, cos had to work despite my cramps as my partner was on MC. Instructed the aunty subordinate to do work, yet she refused to do. Whoa! Open defiance sia! Ask her to sent despatch, yet she said she was giddy and if the big boss insist, she is willing to pay $5 herself to call despatch. Not gonna to fall for her trap so I sent the despatch as the other PA is having stomach upset too. Actually she isn’t sick, for she ate laksa at lunch and was walking so happily when I took back the package from her.
In the afternoon, had asked her to follow up on the donations. Before even approaching the colleagues , she first gave lots of excuses on how they won’t donate…. (piang!)
J (my partner) called me, to check on the situation. And seems like she expected it. I was advised to write a summary of what happened. It seems like when my partner is back, we’ll have a confrontation with her, showing her our records of all her “misconducts”, and if she still exhibits attitude problems, we’ll have to talk to our supervisor abt it.
Yes that’s the “ultimatum” . We had given her too many chances. We din reported abt her when our supervisor check with us if we still face problems with her. Last month, when my partner actually wanted to initiate a meeting with her, I had suggested to call it off, as I feel that she will be even more defensive if we point out abt her attitude. But we both know that by calling off the “counseling session”, one of either will lost our temper one day.
I am the sort who though will try to bear with all sort of stupid situations, whine abt it to my friends, but still won’t bring the matter up to upper management. If I do, then that person is really a hopeless case liao. There is no point for me to defend him or her.
My partner and I know the reason behind her defiance—her pride. She wasn’t convinced that after 20 years of working experience, she had to listen to our instructions. We aren’t “excited” abt having a subordinate under us either. Most of the time, my partner and I are happy working together without getting her involved.
Working at this present company is actually quite enjoyable, except when you come to working with her. Perhaps someone always have to “plays the villian” ……
Sat 21 May
Ok had written the part abt the encounter with someone. Back to the part on the meeting with gor. Haha, dunno gor is reading this now…
Anyway gor was telling me abt a rough storyline of the comics series he had in mind.Really fascinated by the story. Haha but can’t mention here in case anyone steal the
Hai, that reminds me of the two stories ideas I had in mind years ago. Till now, didn’t have the chance and courage to work on one………
Sun 22 May
Went to Pasir Ris park in the afternoon to attend the TXY Sports Day. Actually, the games started in the morning. Aiyah, since I am in a "semi retired" stage, can come at any time I want. Haha
Captain's Ball match started an hour behind the schedule. My group won the prelimary match, but to Qun Yings during the second round . Hehe dun wanna mention the state of my clothes after the two matches.
Had a bbq session in the evenings. Keke while the guys built the fire, the gals was the prawns, marinate the chicken wings and peel prawns. Haha we tried to bullied the boys to carried pails of water for us to do the washing. The dirtied water was then used to watered the bushes nearby. Wondering if the plants are still surviving now...... :P
Left the BBQ slightly after 8pm (our group had almost finished all the food by then) , saw a 不速之客 alighting from the bus as we are abt to board.....
Mon 23 May
No Monday blues, as it is a public holiday too. But woke up with a stiff neck lor. Arm and legs muscles feel slightly cramp, but I am rather pleased. keke cos that means the muscles are more toned. Measured my waistline, and haha ,lost half an inch leh.
Met W at AMK so that we can take bus service 74 to Adam Road. I was going to bring her to the Island Creamery for ice cream. Wooo Wooo.
Hmmm, we had a scoop of Teh Tarik ( relly good), Holicks, Very Berry and Burnt Banana ice-cream. Sitting in the air-conditioned corridor, looking at the sunny scene outside the shop while enjoying our delicious ice cream, really felt like we are in enjoying life in heaven.....
Perhsps we were feeling too "high" that we forgotten abt counting calories, for we went straight ahead to Macs for a proper dinner right after the ice-cream session.
Shared a cab to Muchuan, and we reached there quite early. The door was closed , and there wasn't any waiters in sight. However the Mon-sters were there. Hence we stood outside the door, hoping on of them would see us to give us any cue whether we could go in. Turned out that Mr Cool Guy got down the stage to retrieve something, Welly and I were like chanting "转过头，转过头！", hoping he would see us peering outside the entrance. (of course he was unable to hear us).
Fortunately, he turned around and we were given the permission to go in. ML suddenly feel stressed abt practice some songs in front of us. So we pretended to go away. Actually W and I were hiding at the corner in forgot of the cashier counter, 偷听他们唱歌。
Upon hearing the sounds of "Mo-cha, Mo cha, Mo cha", I understood why ML asked me to "siam". Cos they were practicing the song I requested --"和世界面对面" . 他们练习了一遍又一遍，我和W都感觉到他们的用心与努力。
( hmm I am feeling kinda tired now, so will cut the story short :P)
Ok, what happened taht evening was that we (1o of us) joined up 4 tables, and wrote down our Table No. as 47 (14+ 15+18). Had sort of a mini celebration for Jiahao. But he had to share the limelight with another gal by the name of Cherilyn ( or sounds something like that lah) who was also celebrating her birthday with her friends at MC.
Hmm, for the first time, Jianhua dared to "flirt" with Sips from the stage, joking that he'll look at her while he sing the next song. Sips had some comments regarding his action, shall leave it to her to elaborate abt it on her blog.
I was rather surprised that W. and her colleagues "sabo" Peishan too sing on stage as a "farewell gift", as W had asked me to recommended some nice songs abt farewell or friendships and she thought of sending a special dedication to her. Haha, what a way to make her remember the farewell. :P
Went for a game of pool after their performance. After the 3rd application of YokoYoko on my stiff meck, it finally seems to take effects. And just in time too. Keke I was rather gian" to play, as I hadn't be playing for more than half a year. (though I need to use very special method as I can't interpret straight lines). Was feeling a bit "zhuai" and "shiok" cos I beat Ah Du . ( of cos i dun dare to play with the two experts Sips mentioned though). Aiyoh Sips, u missed out the scene where they look at me skeptically when i tried to shoot with the "backhand pose", and the ball went it.
Ok lah, maybe I waas a bit lucky. hahah. but maybe I wasn't that stress playing the first game as i thought that since they are rather good at pool, I 'll just anyhow play, cos no matter how I play, my skills still far behind them.
At my next turn, pair up with Sips , and play against Ah Du and Jiahao. Think the more serious I treat a game, the worse I performed . Was very "dui "at my last shot, the white ball went into the pocket instead of the last striped ball I was aiming for, hence giving the opposing team a "ball in hand" , which led to their winning shot. 并不是在意游戏的输赢，只是觉得我对不起我的师傅们。 haha. I have lots of "shi-fus" who taught me how to play pool. To make a long story short, it was because quite a few friends had taught me how to play pool, but realising that i really can't aim with my eyes, a group of them had found only method that suits me is to measure with the cue, pull back, and just shoot. (there's no point for me to bend down and aim with the help of using eyes.)
Will post abt Tue's event at my other private blog.

遗憾与偶遇
Was thinking of posting this “random thought” that came across my mind on another day. But something happened in the evening which reminded me that I better post abt it now .
Something happened which really made me thought abt the topic: “Death”.
Last year, after a visit to a geomancer whom an ex-colleague had recommended, I told my ex-colleague that the geomancer said if I had survived a major illness in my 50s, I will live up to 80s. I had told her that I wasn’t that afraid, as to have a chance to live in the world for half a century, is enough for me.
“What if he said that you will live until yr 30s, will you be worried now?” She asked.
I thought about it and mentioned that it might affect me a little, but I will take a “wait and see” approach, while at the same time, I think I will work even harder, to achieve my dreams, my wishes. It’d be kind of a motivation instead.
其实, 没有人会知道自己能活多久。谁敢肯定他明天依然会活在这世间？
I am well aware how serious my attacks can be, if it had prolonged in that state for too long. That’s why I spare no thought in spending more money on better quality materials used for making handmade cards for my friends. That’s why I want to try so many things now, while I still have the time and money. I'd rather spend the little extra money I have in learning things that I am interested in than keeping a lot of money in the bank that cannot be taken to the netherworld.
Something happened this week that made me wondered what would I do if I have only a few months to live...
Then I realized that I had already completed quite a few goals, or at least, had a chance to try on the things I wanna learn/do, even though after that, I realized that some aren’t suitable for me.
If I were to write this post yesterday, I’d have written that my regrets are:
-- had to leave those I love and had brought me joy , laughter and fun, though I had tried not to get too emotionally attached to anyone
-- not being able to further my studies
-- hadn’t got a chance to master a third language –preferably Japanese
-- Not knowing what happened to my 2nd ex whom I had lost contact with for abt a year.
Due to the encounter I had in the evening, I am gonna to rephrase the last point mentioned in “my regrets” list.
Was supposed to meet my gor for dinner to catch up on what’s happening in our lives. Since I was early, I was contemplating should I walked over to the newspapers stand to get a copy of a magazine when I saw a familiar figure in a familiar shirt walking past. It wasn’t that difficult to spot him, as for his height, he is taller than the average guys. Early this year, I had the feeling that I had gotten over him, but still wondered how he is getting on in his life. I am the sort who prefers to remain as friends after breakup, but he isn’t that type. I respect his decision, and think it was last May, after I gotten back something I need from him, I did not contact him after that.
For seconds, I had my reservations with going up to call him, but then I realized that 这种“偶遇”是很难得的，既然有这个机会，就别错过。So walked up to him, took a side glance at him, confirmed it’s him, then called his name. Think he was stunned for a moment, as he’d never seen me without my glasses (I only converted to wearing contacts lens last Dec).
He’s quite a nice guy lah, still gave me a big smile (now then I realised, he had never given me this type of smile the few times we met after the breakup last yr) and asked me the expected question of what I am doing at J8. I thought it will be quite an awkward situation, but we managed to have a quick chat until we stopped at the newspaper stand. Hai… that’s one thing I had always looked up to him --- to hold a conversation well at all sorts of situations. I was quite surprised that he enquired more abt my new job. When I had changed job in Feb, I had dropped him a sms to update him, and did wonder if he had received it, as there is a possibility of him upgrading his mobile phone and changed his number.
He’s quite a reserved person, and I think the reason we had gotten together was that I had somehow managed to break through the barriers he put up then. Hence, it’s rather surprising that he’s willing to reveal to me that he had just completed his Masters (which mean he had quitted his job last yr) and now looking for a job.
“Think the place I studied at was near to the department you used to work in NTU” he said. That really surprised me as well, for he still remembered the previous previous company I used to work at.
突然有个念头： 这一年多来，有时看到某些事物，经过一些地方，会不经意想起他。那他是否看到某些事物，经过一些地方， 也会不小心想起我。
Hmm, when we were together, I did heard him mentioning of getting an advance diploma in another major, though he had a degree. So it was rather something new to know that he had completed his masters……
His reaction upon hearing that I had been taking some classes (keke, dun wanna mention here), was rather similar to some of my friends, joking if I am rather free now. He even asked me what happened to my dancing (hip hop) lessons.
I only vaguely mentioned to him that I was taking hip-hop classes on one of the times we had met after our breakup, didn’t expect him to remembered that too.
我曾以为他蛮狠的，坚决不透露离开的原因。
看来， 也许他朋友说得对，他或许有苦衷……
Guessed the short conversation we had was sort of a closure for us. Even though till now I didn’t get him to confirm the reason (though I think I know why) of the breakup, but at least it’s nice to know he has been getting on fine. 至少从我们的谈话中,我知道我在他心里还占有一席之位......

19 May 2005
Something happened in the office today. Quite scary... It is even worse after what my colleague told me when I was on the way home.
While walking to photocopy papers, My colleague suddenly tripped over and found her lower left limb dislocated. I was just beside her and it happened so fast that i really can't beileve it when i saw the bone jutting out. Somehow I was rather calm and had called for ambulance before other realised what was happening. At this point the old "fake" subordinate of ours then came over, and pretend to ask what happened. Grrrh!!!! It was partly because of what she did , that caused a series of events which were relate to the accident. What happened was that this selfish aunty seeing that we were out to run errands, called the maintanance guy to adjust the central air con system again so that the wind will not be blow against her. Dun understand taht if she feels cold , while the rest don't , why don't she put on a cardigan instead of wearing those sleevesless aunty-looking blouses. We came back to the office, and saw the maintenance guy hovering over our desks.......(shan't mentioned what happened after that )
Medics arrived in quite a short time, but they spent too long trying to figure out how to move her. Poor gal, she wasn't on painkillers and had to bear with the pain trying to get into the differents position so that they can lift her onto the stretcher.
Encountered probs of transporting her into the lift. Our building lifts really aren't user friendy. Even though there are 6 lifts in total, none of them are cargo lift. The medics had to remove the stretcher and place her on the floor of the lift diagonally. Then another medic had to make a second trip of transporting the stretcher down to the ground level.
Another colleague and I waited at the A&E reception counter for ard 30mins, yet there's no sign of doc asking for her relatives/friends.
Her younger bro had arrived and then was talking with the other colleague abt their friends' dislocation cases. Eeeeeek.
Finally a doc called for us and told us that she is fine while he led us to her. This gal huh, was smiling and joking with us. Then she told us her bone was mysteriously back in place when she arrived at SGH. Phew, so glad to see her being able to move her leg again. But she could still feel the pain ard the area and need to go for x-ray. Just then, received a call from a flustered colleague, asking how to compile those papers. Hai, so had to leave her under her bro's care and we rushed back to office.
Really pissed off at the way the old woman's ( the 倚老卖老 colleague i mentioned) attitude. Found out that they had printed one less set, and I just asked her to print one more, yet she immediately said loudly " H asked me to print 13 copies one". Grrrh, trying to push the blame to others. Though she's supposed to be my subordinate, yet seeing the way she is being so defensive, and unremorseful, I was really wanna told her off for causing so much trouble , really wanted to lash out that if not for her asking the maintenance guy to came while my partner and I were away, she wouldn't be lying in hospital now. Managed to control my temper by brushing off with a " Never mind I go and make one copy instead".
Think H was alwso possed off by her attitude too, for I can hear the hint of impatience when she told her "right now, can you just make one more copy?".
J is always the cool one, hence she is sort of the leader when we are compiling all these papers. Now that J is not ard, I have to be in charge of giving instructions as H can get quite confused easily. I really feel very weird when I had to pretend to be cool and and confident and said things like "Relac, can finish one.", "relac, i do do this , this this, and pass to u then u do this, this, this". We were running sort of time yet that woman still can simply bo chap and wanna leave on the dot at 6pm.
No point in asking her to stay back to help out and faced with her black face, so asked her to finish up whatever she is doing while H & I completed the rest of the work. Left office ard 7.15pm and rushed off to my neighbourhood library. On the long bus journey home, received a call from J, who's so responsible as usual, asked if i had encountered any probs. This girl can still laugh when telling me her knee cap area is swollen now ( according to the doc, the body will take some time to abord the fluid), and joked abt it's her first time on an ambulance ride. Then she told me something, which I thing it's better to write abt that another time. Too eerie....
(update: ok, shall not mention here. Really too eerie. Ask me personally if u are interested......)
***************
I really hope that "no news is good news" theory still applies to the condition I am monitoring now. Today, "that event" din happenned, so difficult for me to set a conclusion. 心里真的忐忑不安......

14-17 May 05
After so many events happened over the past few days, suddenly at a lost regarding how to write this post. Guess this post will seems like a 流水账 again. :P
Sat, 14 May 05
Met up with Fannie for window shopping and she told me if that she’s planning to go Taiwan. Hai…..I can’t go due to financial constraints (unlike my sis, who still have family to sponsor her for her Thailand trip). Seems like 我跟台湾 “无缘” …..
She asked me regarding something, which I think I shall write something abt it later in the week.
Crapped about lots of stuff. There are some lame ones regarding ribbon decorations…. Hmm shan’t mention much here until things have been finalized. Will concentrate on that after I am done helping out at my friend’s ROM ceremony.
Sun 15 May 05
Was at Muchuan for the regular “event", but since it's gonna start late, Sips and I played with the guitars available in the room. I am still struggling with fingering who. Sips and I got 差点儿被吓死when we suddenly found Jianhua in the room.. .If not for the “click” sound of the door closing, we won’t know that he had been there for 10 secs.
Anyway, Sips was very 爽 as he taught her a few chords of “Tears in Heaven”. Keke, or she’s爽 that he initiate to teach her. :P
This gal har, keep on giving me her “爽 look” while she played her chords, obviously “suaning” me at my poor fingering. :P
Rushed down to Mediacorp studio with Sips to support ML and XR as they were in for the 3rd round of Audition for the Project Superstar, or 绝对 Superstar. The six of us, including Leonard, Songyu, HP & J were holding big placecards bearing the word “bee” to support ML, and blowing whistles when XR’s clips is was shown. Kinda feeling paiseh actually, especially when Wang Jianfu (the host for the show) suddenly asked “Who’s the one blowing Beep Beep?”
Sad to say, ML and XR were eliminated. (only 24 were chosen out of the 100 ) Results were a bit “kelong”, like someone could even get into the next round despite missing out on some notes and missing half a beat for the rest of the verse. 不是因为认识 ML & XR而为他们感到不值。如果有这种表现的参赛者都能进入下轮，那岂不是对不起其他参赛者。
Perhaps it’s just like what Quan Yifeng said: “比赛有 heng suay，你heng你就进，你suay你就被淘汰。”
Mon 16 May 05
actually something happened which made me so scared that I cried when I saw the scene. Will monitor the situation for a few more days first........
Went for ktv with the usualy Monsters' supporters gang cos Monsters not performing today. We were quite siao actually, with Jiahao singing FIR's songs in original key, YQ imitating Wu Bai, and the trio singing 最近比较烦. Everyone was stressed upon hearing XR ( a Muchuan singer) is coming to join us. The moment he stepped into the room, everyone (yes, including the guys) shouted "ARHHHHHHHHH!". Initially, the naughty XR purposely gave a "silent killer" look at whoever is singing, making the person feel more nervous. Guess W was very 爽 upon hearing her idol sings again.
Went for a quite supper at Smith Street. Then Ah Du and Jianhua came over to join us. Ah du wasn't in a good mood, so I showed him that funny video of Sips taken the day b4. He asked me to show Jianhua and that was when the "trouble" begins. Sips saw what I was trying to do and tried to prevent me (hmmm, thought she mentioned previously that the video was "nothing" ). This girl really almost strangle me by locking my head under her arm. Woah piang girl, u really did use force, even though u din realised it. And it was really chaotic and I dunno how ah du manage to pull her away from me.
Keke, Sips arh, with reference to "we always betray each other" comment, this is not consider betrayal, cos u never mention that video was supposed to be a secret. :P Unlike when i had told u to keep something to yrself, u went ahead and told 4 people. (arh bish u) hahahaha :P
Hmm, anyway I had deleted that video clip (due to limited storage space in my memory card). Only Sips herself has a copy of it now. Those who know her can try yr luck in asking her to show it to u. keke.
W, YQ and I left home early, while the rest went to play pool. Was very "gian" to play, but then I had to soak my contact lens for minimum 6 hours, hence had to forgo it. Heng I din went for that session, as I read from Sips' blog that they were experts leh. My "special way" of playing pool to overcome parallex error will surely make them shake their heads.

Snacks!
Here’s another food review.
Hmm, more of a “new snacks recommendation” column. :P
1) Cappuccino Kit Kat.
Saw this at Watson last week, but I believed that the new flavour has been available in the market for a few weeks. Cappuccino Kit Kat, also a mixture of caffeine (cocoa and coffee). Haha. The taste is not bad actually, but dun expect it to taste like a cup of cappuccino.
Like their slogan :”Have a coffee break, have a Kit Kat”
2) Vicenzi Mini snack
This was recommended to me by my colleague. It’s sort of a crepe-like biscuit with lemon cream filling . It also comes in chocolate flavour too – and the filling really taste like Nutella.
Look, it glossed over with egg and lightly coated with sugar.
According to my colleague, these mini snacks come in a pack of six, and cost below $4. They can be found at Giant Supermarkets and Carrefour. The two flavours really taste damm good that I can’t resist the temptation whenever she dangles one in front of me....

Decided to take a few quizzes out of boredom.
As for how accurate they are, I'll leave the decision to u.
Gals, u may wanna try these quizes too.
1) What Type of Girl You Are.
You Are the Girl Next Door!
You're caring, warm, and the girl that nice guys want to marry.
Uncomplicated and simple, you've got an easy going attitude guys love.
But this doesn't mean you're dull - far from it!
You're a great conversationalist, and you're an expert at living the good life.
What Kind of Girl Are You? Take This Quiz :-)

I say:" Haha! Girl Next Door, something I would expect. But last sentence not accurate leh..." 2) What is Your Fashion Style?
Your Fashion Style is Girly

I say: " Hmmm, Are ribbons, frills girly? :P. My gal friends are gonna scream " So Accurate!" regarding this test!" 3)Why don't You Have a boyfriend

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy
When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch
Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know.
From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up.
And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide.

李圣杰.....
Was listening to 李圣杰 's "远走高飞" for the second time on my Window Media Player yesterday evening, and then my colleague commented:
"You've been listening to his songs daily".
Now that she mentioned it...
True, think I have been listening to his song since late Dec last year. I mentioned abt "痴心绝对 " and "手放开" in Jan this year (with reference to my blog's archives ;) )
Gradually, these two songs and then "远走高飞" are the songs that I will listen to while working.
Hmm, think Sips might ask what happened to "黄昏" by 周传雄 .
Ha, it's still my daily dose.
:P
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
远走高飞
歌手:李圣杰 专辑: 绝对痴心.手放开
爱你 错了吗 为什么会受到这么多惩罚
他们说的话像针往心里扎
我心中 的怕 不知该怎么做才可以放下
只不过想好好的爱一次啊
带我远走高飞 不去理会
这一个蜚短流长的世界布满虚伪
是你让我选择沉醉 繁星守侯月不能睡
只因为爱上了夜的黑
带我远走高飞 一起去追
有一个叫做幸福的世界没有泪水
我已经感觉到疲累 只想在你怀抱入睡
不在乎别人眼中是非
重新 再出发 能不能让这天地不再吵杂
我的心里面安静得不像话
故事的真假 没有多余的力气去分辨他
只不过想好好的爱一次啊

AEAMC on 9 May 05
What?!!! I though I had rushed and post an entry b4 I left office in the afternmoon. Seems like I ahd encountered an error again.
Anyway AEAMC is a code, sort of a reference for me to check my other blog for the entry for that day. Well... tere are some stuff which i dun wanna post here.
Hmmm. but there are some time where I had write here, cos those ppl I mentioned only have access to this blog of mine.
As for what happened yesterday. It was something i wished that it won't happened. As I dun want too ppl to know abt that, and even to see that. But guess that there are some things which I can't control. Like I also dunno why suddenly my heart beated too fast even thugh I think my breathing is regular. After that, all the symptoms followed.
Compared to my past cases, it wasn't a major one. Still i wished it wouldn't happen at that place, at that time.
Thanks to the two people sitting on my left and my right(U know who u are).
Sorry Sips, for not being able to entertain u with yr probs as i was too engrossed with my work while the points were still "fresh in my mind".
This week was unusually " xiong" at work. Let me see: On Monday, we had to prepare for the seminar. Tues (today), we had a field trip to ISD, From Wed to Friday, there is a seminar cum training which we are involve in the logistics.I also had to go to headquarters to attend a briefing on Thurs too.
Actually, like what my colleague had mentioned, it is actually quite fun being involved in the seminars. At least we'll not be totally desk bound and can get to see people from other organisations.

Red Mushroom
Gravity-defying Mushrooms growing on my office cubicle walls? Nah , they are magnets in the shape of mushrooms.
Their magnetic force is quite strong too, see the distance of repel when placed them side by side.
Cute hor.....
Sometimes, I dun understand myself too. I dun dare to eat mushrooms (blame it on those close up pics I seen from encyclopedias when I was young), yet I like to doodle mushrooms when I am bored. Coloured mushrooms (real ones) are said to be poisonous , yet I find them cute.......
*******************************
Red
Red, is associated with anger.
我不知道是你把我给气坏， 还是我是在气自己。
气自己为何要做那么多... ...
我不求回报,但我受不了你的耻辱!
Red , is the colour of blood.
Achilles ' heel must had bled after it was shot by an arrow. (In Greek mythology, Achilles is made invulnerable by being dipped in the river Styx by his mother, Thetis. However, his mother held him by the heel, and eventually Achilles was felled by an arrow that hit this unprotected part. Today the term Achilles' heel refers to any inherent weakness.)
Yes, you know where is my "Achilles heel". You know where to shoot and you had made sure that I "bleed".
我试着坚强，试着装坚强，但掩遮不了我的弱点。
你刺中我的要害，刺得我偏体鳞伤。
是否，看到我留着血， 你才会快乐点？
Red , is the colour of the cherry speckles on the Mothers' Day Cake.
Such an irony that on the cake, was a plate with the wordings " World's Best Mum" written on it.
我后悔买那蛋糕，换来一肚子气和一身伤。
也许，你拒绝那蛋糕是对的，因为你根本不配称为 "World's Best Mum".

Was preparing to lash out everything on this post when I receive an sms from someone.... Unexpected though....really tempted not to reply, but out of respect, I did.
Realised "N" and I had something in common, we tend to write longer entries when we are upset. Actually, most of the time. she blogs only when she is upset, to 发泄.
Was telling gor this morning that I wanna be more independent, wanna settle the probs by myself,dun wanna to burnt my friends ears with my whinings but i was actually tearing when seeing him wrote (on msn) " can see u are getting stronger and more independent" and " u have **** parents but lots of good friends".
我想 我并不是变得坚强,
而是学会把心事隐藏......
渐渐地 围起了一座墙
扮个笑脸 假装一切很正常
but there are times where i can't stand it anynore, can't pretend to be strong anymore. 忍太久, 总有一天会爆. Just like a fully-pumped balloon, at the slightest touch, it will burst.....
and that was what happened yest. evening.....
Actually was feeling a bit better before I return home. But some unhappy events happened at home again.
When I was putting back my shoes in the shoes cabinet, saw the receipt of the monthly newspaper subscription. Seems like someone had help to pay while I was away. Was thinking to question who pay for it after I had settled down (as in having dinner, taking a bath), then asked if I can pay back 2moro as I dun have that much case in my wallet.
Yet, when I start reading the newspaper, my mum was like shouting, screaming from the kitchen. Scolding me for no reason. Scolding me for reading newspaper. I was thought that she had gone crazy again.. Hey! I paid for the subscription, why can’t I be reading it. I kept quiet but she had gone crazier. Then I remembered that she only cares abt money and then guessed that the monthly newspaper subscription fee must be paid by her. Hey, it’s not as if I am not going to pay her back nor never give her any money! It’s just that I dun have that much cash in my wallet then yet she can’t wait. So no choice, I had to pry open my piggy bank, took out whatever notes I have then and give her the money.
And u know what. She stopped scolding then! Let me read my newspaper in peace after getting back the money.
To think a mum would behave like a 吃角机!
I hate her behavior--- her love for money . What am I? I am just a money making machine to her!
Did she care abt how serious my gastric probs is? She will only scold me for wasting money if I went to see doc. I remembered once I was in such great pain that I had to be sent to hospital and ppl called up my parents despite me telling them not to do so. I rather dun let them know then having them to see me then they coming, putting up a show, then when the rest are gone, she will scold me for being so troublesome.
I still remembered the scene at the hospital when I was discharged from A&E as it was getting too crowded, yet when asked to make payment, she simply just sit at the waiting corner, watching TV while I had to struggle to walk to the payment counter and took out my wallet to pay for the bill. On the way home, I threw up whatever medicine the nurses fed me, I didn’t want to have any dinner for fear of throwing up again. Yet was scolded for wasting her $ on the dinner she had bought.
Did she ever care when I had those breathing attacks and can lead to death if I did not manage to regulate back the breathing patterns? K was asking me abt my health probs especially regarding this matter and L also asked if I had any attacks recently. They are only my friends, yet they show more concern than my parents.
Gor was right in saying I had a lot of good friends whom make up for my difficult parents.
To L ( I dunno when u are going to read this as u r busy these days): I dunno if I had ever say thank you to you for staying by my side at the observation ward when I had that attack years ago. It should be a parent’s duty, not yrs. Always made u stressed and worried when I have those attacks.
But dun worry abt me now, cos I am trying to prevent these attacks from happening again. Quite dangerous if it happens as the friends around me do not know what to do. Choy choy, touch wood!

Philosophy Lesson
Quote this from my friend which I find it rather meaningful (hope u dun mind if u happen to read this):
"sometimes i help others then i wonder whether i will get repaid...
then i realize dat life shldnt be like dat....
as in how can u say u r a good person if u expect to be repaid for a deed??
so i tell myself: zuo ren sha yi dian, zuo shi qin fen dian (act blur work hard),
like dat life is happier...
岂能尽如人意? 但求无愧于心."

30 April - 3 May: probs, weekend, Muchuan
SianZ…
Early in the morning, being “barked” at by some “mad dog”, who always assumes things, thinking she was right and scolding people without first checking out the facts.
Can u imagine a mother who scolds her daughter 心理变态？！！！！
Can u imagine a mother who objects her daughter to go for further studies, even though she is using her own $?!!!
While I have been going out to gatherings with poly friends, primary school friends and ex-colleagues, she out-of-no-where start scolding me, said I have no friends and hang out with bad company--- internet friends. What internet friends??!!!! Just becos I access to internet, that means I meet up with internet friends?????
She didn’t bother to check up on facts first. All the people I had chatted on my msn messenger are all my friends in real life (txys, ex-colleagues). Close friends will know I am so tight regarding my privacy that I dun even reveal my real name on my blog, dun like to give away my handphone number and address. Such a joke that she thinks I would meet up with people whom I dun know well!
Fed up with her whenI choose to ignore her yet she start scolding abt me buying expensive clothes when my aunt even knows that I bought my formal shirts from sales. Sis was telling me that mum bought ard 10 pieces of clothing recently! Hate her “double standard” policy.
Tired of all these abuses. From young, I had been putting up with her physical and psychological abuses. And till now I still remembered the way she treated the baby she used to baby-sit years ago. It happened ard 10 yrs ago, yet I will never forget it. That is what u can call child abuse! There is a difference between being strict with kids and abusing kids. And I jolly well know the difference between those two!
Ok…. I think I had mentioned enuff…Feeling like a zombie now. Or maybe I am just like a clown, pretending to be happy, trying to make others happy.
Shall talk briefly abt the long weekend.
Attended the Xinyao concert which ends at 11.30pm on Sat 30 April. Then, headed for supper at Crown Prince’s Swensen. So that makes me someone who goes out with “bad company”????!!!
Ok, get back to the Xinyao concert held at Creative Amphitheatre. We went there to support ML. She’s really zai3!
Well, it wasn’t a very “xin yao concert” as I thought. It was more of a combi of “xin yao cum local pop cum TV serials’ theme songs”. Like the part where the whole audience sang 你的倒影。It really seems like a choir singing.
Actually it was a good idea to show the lyrics on the big projector. If only they had spent time to “proof-read” the lyrics…..
Bumped into my pri-school classmate just b4 we left for supper with ML and her friends. Well my ex-classmate was also having the same 感触 when hearing the finale song锦绣年华, for we had performed that song when we’re in Pri 6.
Spent the Sun morning and afternoon with my “Poly friends”. Some details will be mentioned in my other blog. (yah friends who go that link, take a look at it). My close pal, is getting married in June. Spent hrs having discussion on decorations, then sourced for decoration stuff. Just hope everything will turn out right….
* Interruption: now Yes 93.3 Fm is playing that song ---记事本. Yah that “爱得痛了，痛得哭了，哭得累了” song…….. *
Bumped into my secondary school ex-class mate on the bus ride home. Almost din recognized her as she is wearing contacts lens now. Well, I guessed I din look much different without my glasses, for she recognized me. Talked abt our present jobs and other stuff.
Went out on 2 May (yesterday ) too. Finally manage to meet up with this old friend (K) for kopi, K passed me a CD-R containing all the Kokoro stories clips which I liked. Yah if u had visited kokoro website, and is a member, u will know what story clips I am talking abt. Hard to imagine that we lived so near to each other, yet not easy for us to meet up as our schedules clash. Had kopi, or should I use that high class term “Mocha Frappe” at J8’s Delifrance. It was so crowded ant noisy. I was telling K that how I preferred the old Bishan J8, where it was still a simple suburban mall, without the noisy crowd. Talked abt some other stuff which I will probably be mentioning them in my other private blog..
Went to order a Mother’s Day cake b4 I proceed to Muchuan. Yah, I even dun understand why I bother to order a cake for her.
Went to Muchuan after being missing out last week ‘s performance. We are really a big group with Yaoxian & YunChing joining us yesterday. Yesterday was special as it was YunChing last nite in Sg as she is leaving for Germany. Sips specially went up on stage and sang 我的爱 for her. Oh yah, yesterday was almost full house. Guess the Mon-sters are so overwhelmed that they cracked a lot of jokes. We were laughing like mad at their 情歌对唱 . Think I will still burst out laughing the next time I hear 今生注定.
Took some funny pics with YunChing and the rest. Think I will post those pics on my other blog instead. I was quite kee –siao yesterday. Went hyper due to the caffeine intake.
Ok , shall end here now and write abt more serious/personal stuff for my other blog.

~*Harmonie's Sentimental World --心情日记*~
