Rain!! IT'S COMING

haha!!! Just trying to be lame...

Last weekend, went to this restaurant & Bar at Dempsey Hill called "Rain". Was able to go there because of Jane's friend, Steve. As one of his friends was holding a party there, so his friend asked Steve to bring friends along to party...

The place is quite nice... The choice of music is slightly better than Double "O"... At least that's what I feel...

Though it's quite small but people are still able to enjoy themselves very much... The night started to get wild, as the volume of the music escalates...

Know who we saw??? Project School Super star 1's male singer, Adriano... Very cute, very short and very don't-know-how-to-dance. He was with a bunch of cute girls, but the girls seemed like they rather be with group of people who knows how to dance... Poor guy... Or rather POOR GIRLS!!! I pity you for going out with a Pretty Vase...

Here're some photos

Ladies! It's Party Time!

Last Wednesday night, me, J & Jane went to Double "O" yet again... haha!!! Seems like recently I got to like that place again...

Still remember during my Poly days I used to frequent that place often. Even after several years, the place never change much, but the crowd has changed... The crowd has gotten younger & of cause, the drinks have gotten cheaper... I guess that's one of the reasons why youngsters like to go there...

For cheap drinks...

Met up with J & Jane after work after Raffles Place. We went over to Merlion Park. And I took some photos of our National Icon

Lucky it's fountain was on that night... Very pretty...

Then, we head down to Double "O". As it was Ladies' Night, definitely it'll be filled with tons of girls... As Time ticked closer to midnight, the place got wilder with each passing second...

Soon, the dance floor was ignited by the Club's Dancers, and the area exploded instantly. Hits after Hits were delivered through the Juggernaut Speakers.






Some photos we took in Double "O"

After some drinks, we hit the dance floor as well... Frankly speaking, I don't know what's wrong with guys who hit the dance floor but simply refuses to dance... All they did was stand there, hit some so-called "Cool poses" and look on... C`mon dudes! Dance! You're on the Dance Floor, if you don't wanna dance, then get the hell outta here!!! YOU'RE WASTING THE SPACE!!!

But i can say, guys who can really dance are seldom in Clubs. But dancing with your group of friends is even better... haha!!!

Can't club too much liaoZ...been visiting clubs almost every 2-3 days and still have work the very next day... Too tiring...

!!!Photo Flash!!!

Here are some photos I took last saturday at Double O, using my friend's mobile phone's camera. But was only able to get it from her on Monday night.


If I'm not wrong, taken by Sally...


I purposely switch off the Flash, and used the Club's ambience lights to create the effects

Food for thought

Last Thursday was supposed to be my Off Day, for working on Hari Raya last weekend. But I decided to help out Han Siong with a photo-shoot that morning. Well, I never regretted helping out...

Although the shoot started rather late at 9:20am, and was rather chaotic at times, but somehow or rather, overall, things went smoothly, and we ended the session at 11:45pm. Keeping in mind that we had to take individual photographs of all 70 kids, 5 formal & informal Class photographs.

By the end of the shoot, both of us were dead beaten, even though we weren't the ones handling the kids... And we decided to head down to a stretch of hawker centres opposite Bukit Timah Shopping Centre & Beauty World Centre.

But made me realised one thing: Teachers of any level, are really magnanimous figures. Especially, nursery & kindergarten teachers. Not only do they have to be an educator, but they have to be a friend, a mother, a brother, a sister or even a mentor at different times of the day, or maybe assuming different roles at the same time... If it was me, I don't think I'll be able to assume such a figure. Or even worse, I might go crazy by the end of just one day... haha!!!

So... CHEERS TO ALL THE GREAT TEACHERS & EDUCATORS!!!

Back to lunch... We came to this long stretch of hawker centre opposite Bukit Timah Shopping Centre... I've never been there before, but was definitely an eye-opener. The range of food is HUGE!!! From muslim to indian, from Chinese to Western, from Taiwan to Korean... I guess there's at least 20 restaurants just on that 100 metres lane...

In the end we settled for a prata stall, which Han Siong said is famous for its prata. He ordered cheese mushroom & ice Milo Dinosaur, while I ordered cheese egg & ice tea with milk.

A small piece of prata... But please please please please please.... Don't be deceived by its appearance!!! The chef was very generous with the amount of cheese and was evenly spread out. The egg was half cooked. And the whole prata was beautifully cooked.. Every bite of the prata is filled with lotsa cheese & egg... YUM YUM!!! Just talking & recalling the prata that day, is enough to make me salivate!!!

Dip a piece of the Prata into their specially home-made vegetarian vege curry... Marvelous...

Oh!!! And the Ice milk tea... Brewed with Lipton red tea. The drink is orange-red in colour. Not too sweet & not too bitter... Make you wanna just keep drinking & drinking & drinking... Never get sick of it...

OH MY GOSH!!! I'm gonna go back there one weekend to have their prata AGAIN!!! HAHA!!!

Oh... Almost forgot... I only had one piece of prata and I was FULL... Even I couldn't believe it...

After which, Han Siong gave me a ride back to Office. From there I took MRT home...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday. Back to Office with ton of work to be done and endless calls to answer and more appointments to fix... Seems like a typical day for me haha!!!

Can't wait for Saturday to come by, as I'll be joining Ah Hui for Wedding Dinner... Wonder what she'll wear...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, Saturday, had an appointment at 1pm. But it was ALL the way at Bukit batok.. SO FAR AWAY!!! But well, for the sake of my commission, I gladly do it haha!!! Met up with the clients. But what kinda shocked me was the crowd awaiting me... The client's house was packed with at least 12 people... 4 couples and the rest were maybe their aunties and parents...

So.. after very brief introduction, we went straight into the jeez of today's discussion. Wedding Package Price. No showreel of our company's production, just pure discussion of pricing...

Having given them an upfront 20% discount off the pcakge, they couldn't touch that anymore *YEAH!!* So it was trimmed down to extra items and discount on OT rates... Keeping in mind the previous meet-up with Mr. W (That F*ed up wedding client....) I was told them all the additional charges and all the terms & conditions and carefully explained to them every single detail...

And of cause, writing down all the things we had discussed.

Finally, after many rounds of discussion, everyone was happy with the price and we signed...

To my surprise, it wasn't one package, but four!!! Because I only brought 3 order forms, but I made an arrangement with the fourth couple to sign the order form next week evening in town. And the deposit can be made when they come down to pass us the photos for the Photo Montage.

Happy happy!!! haha!!! So many packages signed in just one afternoon... I think I really have to thank god for giving me such a good opportunity... I guess I was griming all the way back to Office haha! Cause quite a number of people were looking at me... But I don't really bother haha!

Back to Office... Quiet and cozy... Started to bitch with them about the earlier appointment, while having my lunch...

Quite disappointing in the evening because the Wedding Dinner with Ah Hui was called off... Not sure what was on her mind... But never-mind, luckily I knew my friends were in Orchard, so immediately I went off to find them...

After some shopping & dinner, we went to Double O to chill. It was "Retro Night". It's been a while since I visited "Retro Night". Just hope that the DJ would play some cool hits, so that we can have a great time dancing & partying...

The drinks were really cheap. $12 for a Mixer Jug. $3 per Tequila shot or Tequila Pop. Definitely a place for people to chill & drink around 9pm to 11 plus, before moving on to St. James or MOS to dance the night away...

In total, if I remembered correctly, we ordered 1 shot Jagameiser, 3 Mixer Jug, 8 shots of Tequila, before we hit the Dance Floor... The DJ was excellent that night, linking popular Retro Hits, one after another... And not forgetting Classics from Bon Jovi, U2, ABBA & Michael Jackson... I guess all of us really sweated it out on the Dance Floor haha!!!

Our usual photo "whore" haha!!!

But the night wasn't over, till we said it was OVER... Ber's friend, Gerald, came over to join us. Being an "Anti-Double O" person, he invited us over to his friend's pub, which was none other than ChillZ Bar... HAHAH!!! How coincidental right??? It's the same pub i always frequent with Ah Hui's frenz...

There, Gerald introduced to us the Lady Boss, Cecilia, as well as some of his colleagues... They were really a bunch of fun-loving people, who loves to be in a company of their friends... We sang, drank and played mini games... It was definitely a very, very fun night... Thanks Gerald & Cecilia!

All of us playing a new version of "Fist Guessing" Game.

Well, I guess I'm still nursing the hang-over I had from last night hahaha!!! Don't think I'll be heading down to Club anytime soon...

That is... Till Siong Siong comes back... haha!!!

Rot in Singapore

Great news!!! My long-awaited holiday trip to Taiwan is once again CANCELED!!! That means I get to stay in Singapore, and my friends don't have to miss me...

A few friends asked me why is the trip called off?! I just replied them that I have some personal problems, so I won't be going to Taiwan with my friends in March...

So, I guess I won't be visiting Taiwan anytime soon... Sorry Xiao Xuan... Can't get the chance to meet you... Sigh...

That means no shopping for another dunno how many months... ARGH!!! I WANNA SHOP!!! But not in Singapore...

Next time bahZ...

WhazZUP!!!??

What's been happening to me this week??

...............................................................

TONS!!!!

Well, Monday to Wednesday were quite normal, go out appointment & show clients some samples blah blah blah...

Thursday: We were informed that we have an exhibition on the coming Saturday, which was 13/10. Really sucks lor! So late then inform us... But never-mind, at least we don't have to prepare much things. Just print brochures, price-list, video & photo samples, stationaries and order forms...

Friday was the one day that sent me on a Roller Coaster Ride... 2 customers on the same day, almost made me wanna laugh & cry, and even KILL them!!! Let's name them A & B

Customer A is the Husband of Ms W, whom me & my manager has been co-ordinating very long for their wedding video. They know that their Wedding is on Hari Raya Puasa, which is a Public Holiday. Most services provided on a Public Holiday or Sunday or even Peak Season, there're surcharges or increase in pricing.

All along, while we were discussing about the price for their filming, we never include the additional charge. We only touch on that when the client ask or when we touch on clause, terms & conditions....

In the end, we settled for a final price of $600 for 6 hours shoot, which is actually way under market rate. Because $600 includes video filming & video post-production. The usual price is $850 for 6 hours of filming plus post-production.

Anyway, the husband is SUCH AN SSSSS!!!!!! On the day that he came to sign the package, he kept insisting that he wish to speak to my manager blah blah blah, even though I was involve in it as well... Throughout the whole conversation, his body language, tone of voice, type of words used, were so so so demanding and defensive. I found it absolutely difficult to strike a conversation with him, less building a rapport...

And did I mentioned that he was an almost 50 year old uncle? Enough to be my dad? YEAH!! He was that OLD!!! Sounded so much like a father. Demand this, demand that... "I want this", "I want that" type of attitude...

Even threw me this sentence, "I was in Sales line before..." So???!!! So what if you were in Sales line before? Does that make you the "BIG DADDY" in my office? I never scream in your face, because you're the client, and you're my senior, I give you face. if not I would have smashed your head with my big fat calculator and threw you out of my office.

C`mon lah uncle!!! Go get a life, get married, TRY to make your 40+ year old wife pregnant if you STILL CAN make your "di-di" stand attention... And rot in your house!!!

Customer B, Mr W. Tan, a wedding client I met up about 1 month ago. Discussed about wedding packages and pricing blah blah blah... At that point of time, he couldn't confirm with me the actual timing of his make-up artist, thus I didn't told him about the additional charges. Boy! That was one BIG mistake I made.

Why? He assumed it as "We don't have additional charges for early call-in or OT..." BULLSHIT!!! On Friday evening, he used phrases like, "I collectively gathered...", "Information which were told to me...", "I don't mean to push MY way through..." or "I don't wish to make things worse...", "I'm not a very mean guy. But just wanna let you know that..."

He was so smart & so cautious with his words... That I should give him an Oscar Award for "Best Supporting Actor". He was indirectly pushing all the blames to me... YES!!! Pushing Every Single Farking fault to ME... Making me looked like I was the one who made all the faults, all the blames, all the misunderstandings....

FINE!!! I accept ALL the blames, because, like what EVERYONE says "Customer is always right!" Because of this sentence, because I wanna earn HIS money, because I want MY commission, unwillingly forced all the blames, all the misunderstanding, and all the faults down my throat...

Well... In the end, he still signed the wedding package. Great!! At least I reached my motive. Commission in my pocket. Done! Happy! but not THAT happy...

Right after I finished handling that irritating Mr. W. Tan, my office immediately switched into "War" mode... Everyone were busy preparing for Saturday's Exhibition, cutting brochures, looking through videos & photos, making duplicate CDs, packing stationaries.

After a final check at 7:30pm, DONE! We were all set for the Exhibition at Furama Riverfront.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, Furama RiverFront Level 3, 2PM

Exhibition tables set, brochures in goodies bags, flowers up, food & beverages ready, Cameras in place, Lightings ready, all guests have arrived... Let the Fashion show Be...

Er... Before that I show you some photos before the Runaway starts...

FOOD GALORE!!!

The Exhibition was pretty short-lived. From 2pm to 6pm. And time flew by pretty fast. With only about 90mins of time for us to get as many deals as possible (From 4pm to 5:30pm), everyone were going straight to the point. Showreel Cut! Photo Slideshow Cut! Casual talks cut! Go straight to the Price.

Me, Eileen and Han Siong had to build rapport with customers in the shortest time possible and strike a deal with them. It was almost "Mission Impossible". Out of the 30 plus couples we talked to, we only managed to strike 3 deals. The process was nerve-recking, but the experience of holding an Exhibition is truly priceless.

Now at least I know what to do during an exhibition, what to bring, when to do certain things & how to do certain things. Timing and ambiance are two very critical elements for Exhibitions. One wrong move and the initial intention for that item will be ruined.

After the Exhibition, I rushed down to Orchard to meet up with Hui. As we're going for a Wedding Dinner next week, we still haven't pick a dress for her to wear... *headache*

Instead of it being an outing to buy a dress, I think it's more of an outing to destress... Both of us are very stressed with our work. Schedule everyday is packed to the max, leaving almost little time for our own things...

But still, we both managed to squeeze some time out to relax our mind and body, and do the things we love best. SHOPPING!!!

Notice anything different about Hui in the picture? YES! She's wearing a spag top. For the first time in 4 years, this is the first time I see her wearing a spag top when we go out... When I first saw her, my eyes were wide open. I was unsure whether that was her or not... But after "slapping" myself, accepted the fact... She looks great in spags *which I've been telling her all along*

Please. Wear that kinda clothes more often...

After we finished shopping, we went over to Boat Quay to join her friends at a newly-opened pub: Amber 21. Quite a nice pub, nice ambiance, cute gals, and good crowd. They were there to celebrate one of their friends going to Australia for overseas training. Lucky chap, going to Australia, though it's training, but still very lucky...

We drank a bit, sang a few songs and we went off at 11plus. Really wanted to stay a little longer. But because I had to go off for a midnight show at Century Square: Brotherhood.

It's a new HK movie, about Gangsters *AGAIN!!!* The cast for this movie is huge. Andy Lau, Eason Cheng, and many other veteran actors & actresses.

Although we missed the first 20mins of the show, but it didn't really throw us off the whole show, making us clueless what was going on in the later part of the show. Because the main point of the movie would only be revealed at the end...

Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars. Worth the money.

Tied up....

So sorry guys, especially my dear blog... So long never update what's been going on with my life...

Life at my job is beginnin to settle in, as I begin to get tuned in more & more with each passing day...

At the same time, life is starting to get monotonous. Wake up at 8:30am, wash up, bathe, breakfast, dress up, leave my house at 9:35am. Catch the 9:45am bus (For god sake, Bus 293 is always so so so SLOW!!!!)

Board the 9:50/9:55am train. The usual pretty girls I get to see everyday... Whenever I see them, I'll give them a friendly smile. Maybe its because we see each other almost every single day, thus we would recognised each other as "familiar" faces...

As usual, the train would be packed from head to toe, and I would listen to my cute little red MP3 Player (Ops! I forgotten to post the pictures of my cute MP3 player haha!!! I'll do that soon...)

Around 10:25am, I'll reach Tanjong Pagar and reach my Office 10:30am sharp haha!!!

And I'll knock off around 6:30pm +/- 10mins. Reach home around 8pm. By then, I'm already half-"shagged" or left with only 40% energy... I'll have my dinner in front of my TV, while I watch some Taiwanese Idol Drama (Currently watching Ai Sha 17 by Zhang Shao Han)

Unable to use my PC, cuz it'll be "dominated" by my sister, I could only stick to my show... Around 10:30pm or 11pm, I would visit my dreamland... And the whole process will repeat itself...


BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a TOTAL BORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I do??? Save up enough money to go further studies... OR start my own fashion business...

Will post pictures I've taken last few weeks. I just realised that I've tons of new photos in my phone, which I didn't had time to upload... *GEEZ*

Resident Evil: Extinction



After the Raccoon City Incident in 2002, the T-Virus escaped containment despite the nuclear destruction of the city. The Umbrella Corporation desperately tries to stop it from turning the entire world's population into zombies, but after a series of viral outbreaks over the past 5 years, the world is on the verge of extinction.

Alice (Milla Jovovich), Umbrella's greatest Bio-Organic Weapon, is now alone in the desert wastelands of the remains of the United States after learning that the corporation has the ability to track her location via satellite. She has super-human strength and psychokinetic abilities gained from her brief imprisonment by Umbrella, and because of her ability to bond with the T-virus, the corporation seeks to develop a permanent cure to the T-Virus to save what is left of humanity. Under the orders of Umbrella chief Albert Wesker, Dr. Sam Isaacs attempts to create a cure without Alice, using clones created from her blood; the clones endure tests within re-created Spencer Mansion, The Hive, and Raccoon City Hospital locations, but none survive.

Meanwhile, Claire Redfield's (Ali Larter) convoy, which includes fellow Raccoon survivors Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps), along with new survivors K-Mart (Spencer Locke), Mikey (Egan) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti), search a small motel for supplies. L.J. is bitten, but does not tell Nurse Betty, who checks his other wounds. The next morning a horde of infected crows begin to attack the convoy, however, Alice appears. She uses her telekinesis to utilize the flamethrower and covers the sky in fire while simultaneously keeping the convoy safe. Despite her efforts, Nurse Betty and a few others die in the attack.

Alice is introduced to Claire, and the leaders of the group decide to search for supplies in Las Vegas. At the Umbrella corporation, with the help of a new artificial intelligence computer called the White Queen, they are able to pick up Alice's location based on the use of her power. Dr. Isaacs orders a crate of super zombies, created from cloned Alice's blood, to be transported to the convoy's destination against Wesker's wishes. The convoy meet with the new zombies and a battle between them ensues. Mikey is killed along with a large portion of the convoy in the fight, while L.J. turns into a zombie and bites Carlos before being shot down. Once Umbrella sees Alice is in position, they attempt to "shut her down" and control her actions. She resists the attempt and continues to come for Isaacs, getting to his location just as he slips away in a helicopter. She refrains from shooting the helicopter in order to later use it as transport to Alaska.

The remaining members of the convoy head towards the Umbrella facility, but they find it surrounded by thousands of zombies. Carlos believes the infection inside himself has gone beyond a cure, and then sacrifices himself for the convoy. Alice and Carlos kiss before he departs, using a gasoline transport truck to drive into the zombies. He detonates the dynamite and after the explosion, the group move in through the opening made by Carlos's sacrifice. They depart on the helicopter piloted by Claire. Alice stays behind, however, planning to exact her revenge on the Umbrella Corporation. Dr. Isaacs has been bitten by a super zombie and has mutated into a monster, the Tyrant. After Wesker's orders to have him killed fail, Isaacs goes on to kill all the employees in the facility. The White Queen manages to trap Isaacs in the lower levels and instructs Alice that she must pass through there to create a cure.

Alice heads down, seeing a clone of herself still in a vegetative state. She examines it, but Isaacs interrupts, attacking Alice before fleeing when she stabs him with a khukri knife. The clone then awakens, seemingly dying in Alice's arms. She covers the clone in her coat and leaves after Isaacs. In the replica of the Spencer Mansion, a battle between Isaacs and Alice ensues, both displaying use of telekinesis. When the fight is taken to a replica of the laser room from The Hive, Alice informs him that they are both to die there when the lasers activate. The lasers cut Isaacs into pieces in the same fashion as the character One in Resident Evil, and just as Alice is about to meet the same fate, the lasers dissipate. The clone of Alice is shown to be the one who turned off the lasers.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan Wesker informs the rest of the Umbrella board that the North American branch has been lost, and he will now control further scientific experimentation from Japan. Using holographic technology, Alice makes an appearance at the meeting, saying that she and her friends are coming for them now. Standing beside the clone of herself, Alice looks onto the rows of pods containing the other clones, their numbers in the hundreds. As many clones begin to awake, the film ends.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watched the movie last night. Definitely had the suspense that Resident Evil is famous for. All the sudden "BOOM!", "AH!" are timed very well with the sound effect. Gives us an insight that Alice, Nemesis and all that happened, were just part of an even bigger project by Umbrella Corporation.

You'll find the mutation of Dr. Isaacs, very familiar. Yes! It's Nemesis from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis or Bio-hazard 3: Nemesis.

Hopefully, there's a fourth or fifth installation to this ever-popular horror gaming title...

I rate it 4/5.

A Question...

A phrase quoted from a blog:
"What do guys know about love?

I find it rather funny when female friends asked me this question. In their mind, they always felt that guys don’t know anything about love. Even if they do know about it but they never seem to be emotional towards anything.

I don’t think it’s true.

I find guys are as emotional and sentimental as any species of any kind. Maybe the fact of us being born as male species requires them to be dominant.

Ego, pride, whatever you name it. The feeling does not allow others to recognize them as the weaker kind that falls into wheels of emotion.

In a relationship, the role of the male is to protect and possess the female as so to say. Being protective means you have express yourself as mentally strong and not swayed into temptations.

But not all guys are like that.

As far as I know there are a couple of them who gets all emotional during a quarrel. Guys do cry when they are sad. It’s a lie if they tell you they never cry before, for there’s nothing chauvinist for a man to shed his tears but for a fruitful course that is.

Adults cried quietly, trying to hide the attention of those weary eyes.

I cried many times in my life, sometimes over silly things, sometimes over a sad movie, sometimes over a failure, sometimes over a relationship. But if you ask me whether I have cried before, my answer would most probably be a straight no in your face.

But if you ask me what I know about love. My answer would surprisingly be a ‘no’ too.

All I can only tell you that love is a remarkable experience that only you alone can feel when it hits you.

Everyone’s definition and impression is different and there’s no right or wrong to it. There’s no logic or rational thinking towards love. There’s only how you feel that leads you. That’s why people always say “go with your heart” in a relationship.

A relationship is not measurable with any formula or logical explanation. If you like a person, you will really like him/her despite all the bad points that he/she has… and even you yourself won’t believe what decision you have made.

When that time comes, you’ll know that you’re in love.

This is Love, all irrational and unbelievably true.
"

End of Quote...
______________________________________________________

I dunno how true is that. But like the author said... Guys will say "No, I don't know much about Love..." even for me... Although there's one sentence I agreed with the author and that is:

"A relationship is not measurable with any formula or logical explanation. If you like a person, you will really like him/her despite all the bad points that he/she has… and even you yourself won’t believe what decision you have made."

I once liked a girl very, very much...

Till a point that I liked her anger, her stubbornness, her unreasonableness, her straight-forwardness, her everything...

Her silliness would never fail to bring a smile to my face, even if it was just a small gesture by her.

Her smile would brighten up my dull days...
Her tears would stir my emotions to feel with her...
Her lousy sense of direction would urge me to grab her by her hand to guide her to the right path...
I would do literally anything for her, just to see her smile, just to see her happy...
Simple & Pure. Never once had I doubted my feelings for her. Never once had I questioned myself. All because I followed my heart...

Even though she might never once thought about two of us being together, I never regretted liking her, letting her know my feelings for her, making all the so-called "silly decisions & actions". For I followed my heart...

I once liked a girl very, very much...

And I still do...

Sick Demon found me.... *Sad*

Argh! Being sick sucks! Sucks big time I tell you.... I talk a bit *cough cough* I breathe a bit *A chu*

sigh... Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, yet I spent the whole night not enjoying the moon, but resting in my bed, fighting those evil viral... ARGH!!!

Took half day off to come back home to rest... I think I'm kinda irritated by cold air... cuz the Moment I got out from Air Con room, my coughing and sneezing stopped all together... Sigh...

I WANNA GET WELLL!!! Take that you irritating virus! *Throws a punch at the Virus*

----------------------------------------------------------

Finally my trip to Taiwan can be realised!!! Planning on 23rd March or 30th March. And it'll be a 5D 5N trip there... coming back on the 6th Day heee... Will be going with my dear sisters of 12 years...

It'll be fun!!! But have to book tickets and hotel rooms quick, as they're being grabbed up pretty fast!

---------------------------------------------------------

Just read her blog. She has someone she like now. Great. Must be a guy in her life guard course.
Tall, Handsome, has a bike, has a career, wonderful personality. *Smile*

Since she has someone she adores now... I guess it's about time for me to move on as well... Somehow or rather, after knowing that she has a liking or crush on someone, I felt a sense of relieve, and not a sense of jealousy... Strange...

Still, I should move on... Enjoy my single-hood again! Enjoy being a bachelor once more! Well, that's until I find a girl I wanna spend the rest of my life with... Else, I guess I'll just stay single...

haha!!!

Weekends...

Met up with Bernice, Sally, Anna first on Saturday evening. After which, we slacked around PS & walked all the way to Orchard. Along the way, we were helping Anna to look for a name card holder for her Boyfriend. Saw a few designs and some of them were really nice haha!!!

Sally had to go off earlier because she's a Modern Day Cinderella. We can't blame her, cuz in Asian Countries, parents are normally more strict towards girls, as girls are so-called weaker in phyiscal strength and easily get bullied. And Parents would advise girls not to stay out too late, avoid dark lanes or areas which are too quiet, as flashers or rapists might be around. These are the exact similar things I told my sister as well...

With Sally going off, we headed down to Clark Quay to meet up with Linda & her friend at Riverside Point. They were having their dinner at this Bar / Restaurant called "Brewaeks"

This restaurant sells western fusion food, but the main focus is their beer. Their beer selections are specially-flavoured with Honey, spices, peppermint etc etc. They made known to people that their beer are meant to be slowly enjoyed, and not like regular beers, to be "pour" down our throat like tasteless, odourless water.

And this is the first time I've tasted beer with such layers of flavours. We tried "Golden Ale" A drink, with a balanced blend of wheat's bitterness & the sweetness of honey. Gentle on the tongue, soothing on the throat. haha!!! Try it man!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chin Mei smsed me this morning and asked me, whether is it alright for a girl to say "I like you" to a guy.

I replied: "There's no right or wrong. Only willing to face the true feelings or not... Made known your feelings to him. Even if he rejects you, at least you have no regrets, cuz you were brave enough to tell someone you like him"

Just hope that the guy she's proposing to, realises that Chin Mei is an unpolished gem. A beautiful & great girl, in a small body...

As for me... The girl I like... Might never dare to face her true feelings for me, no matter how many times I make my feelings known to her...

Mount Faber

Woke up at around 12plus today. Watched 2 discs of "Ai Qing Mo Jie"

Then went over to my granny's house... Only then I realised that it was "Da Ah Peh's" Birthday.
And he give us blessings, as well as allow us to ask questions on how to resolve whatever problems we have.

For me, I don't think the problems I'm facing now are so bad that left me no choice but to seek help from God. So, when he asked me whether I have anything to ask, I said "No..."

Then he asked me what job I'm working now, I replied that I'm working at a Bridal Shop. After which he said "Very good. Bright Future. Must be hardworking..." I could only reply, "Yes I will..."

Then, he started to do those "finger-counting" thing that we would normally see in those chinese movies. But I suddenly felt that "Da Ah Peh" seems to look something, but he just wanted me to ask him, instead of him telling me... IMO, I just let nature take its course. If it's bound to happen, it will happen.

When I reached home, my Dad tagged us along for dinner with his "Tang Zhu" friends. Oh boy! Was it a Feast!!!



We had Horfun, Fried Egg Noodles, Fried Oyster omelet, Fish Steak, Fried rice, Claypot Tofu, sweet & sour pork ribs, carrot cake & last but not least Spicy Gong Bao Chicken.

SO YUMMY!!!! *...Salivating... *

Then, Tang Zhu suggested that we go for a stroll at Vivo City. It was simply splendid. All of us sat at the back of the Lorry, and the wind just breezed by our faces. It's been a long while since I last sat at the back of a lorry...

On the way back, we made a detour to Mount Faber...

Mount Faber leh... OMG!!! I've lived in Singapore for 22 years & I've never even been there before. Really never regret going there... The view of Singapore was just simply BREATH-TAKING...


Too bad the trees & bushes were just too tall...


haha!!! The Ferries Wheel is ALMOST DONE!!! Official Opening is on Valentines' Day.


Lorry Moved too fast haha!!! The skyscrapers of Singapore...

am I over-concerned?

Am I being over-concerned about my friend's well being?

A few moments ago, while celebrating my Sister's belated bday with her friends, she told me that she's not feeling well... Then, I told her to sleep early..since she has a long & tiring schedule the very next day. TO my surprise, she was still on MSN after I reached home around 1:30am.

I advised her to go sleep soon, as she has to wake up very early tomorrow to go work, and further more she was down with flu & headache. Her body's immune system would slowly become weaker & weaker if she don't take good care of it...

Then, I just shot it out: "Nvm...U're old enough to know what's good for you..."

"Don't use this on me...
If you wanna cont. to rack on...
Save it...
Or else I block you..."

Thought to myself...WTF!?

"Fine. I'll just shut up...
Take care & good night"

My care & concern for this friend was deeply bruised again... She just shafted another knife straight into my heart, but not enough to kill it... Bleeding profusely but not enough to kill it...

Did my "Lan Hao Ren" character get the better of me this time round again?!

!!!So Pissed!!!

Why am I pissed? Supposedly, this week I'm still on Leave, but because I wanna hand over all my documents to my supervisor Mr. Anand, I purposely took Off from work, forsaking $200 of pay , on Tuesday and Wednesday. I even called him last thursday to inform him that I'll be going back to Camp to hand over all my documents to him blah blah blah. And even sent him a sms on sunday night to remind him again.

And guess what? I went back to camp on Tuesday, and he informed me that he's taking leave on Wednesday & Thursday. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!??????? Then why the heck I go back to camp for? For fun?

KaoZ!!! I was so pissed on tuesday that I didn't wanna talk to anyone in Camp. I was suppressing my anger all the way till 5pm.

Furthermore, all the things that I told my guys to do, none of the things were done according to what I've told them. FUCK man!!! I even went to the extend to type out nicely for them, what to do, where to do, who to look for etc etc. When I checked back with them last friday, they said that everything has been done accordingly. But when I went back on Tuesday... EVERYTHING was done wrongly. I had to spend the whole Tuesday correcting all the mistakes that have been made, plus, clear out my cupboard, go through all my documents to make sure that everything that I wanna hand over is intact blah blah blah....

ARGHHH!!!!!!!!! So pissed off!!!

...Wise words...

I never thought that a stranger's words could have such a big impact on me...

Today at work...I stayed back a little while and had a small chat with Han Siong... His words were like a wake up call to me...

"Jonny...Have you ever wonder why she never choose you even after so long?"

"Nope...Why?"

"Have you ever wonder what type of guy she likes?"

"Hmmmm....Perhaps someone who has a lot of character..."

"Which means you're a person without character?"

"No....What I meant is... ... Maybe my character doesn't suit the character she sees in her fantasy..."

"Then what is it that you lack?"

"What I lack??? I dunno... Maybe I'm not rich... No car... Not handsome enough..."

"KaoZ!!! But..have you ever propose to her?"

"Yeah...countless times... Till I've lost count..."

"Have you ever thought of giving up??"

"Maybe..."

"Cause too tired?"

"Partially... Cause it's been four long years... Kinda drained out a lot of my energy... But it's hard to do it..."

"Yeah... I understand... Well... I guess you better get going..."

Me & Han Siong ain't very close...But his words... were more direct than anyone else...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know we can never be together.... I know you might never choose me... I know by doing so, I'm actually hurting myself... But I just don't wanna give up something which I never had the chance to try...

Four years le... My door has been left wide open for four years. Never once have I closed that door on you. Forever waiting for you to step in. But every time you reach the entrance. You hesitated to step in, and just turned away... But time & time again, I told myself: "It's ok! One day, I believe you'll walk through that door, and never walk away ever again..."

This thought... I held on for 4 years, many a times it shook and swung, whenever i know that you're attached... But this time... I don't know how much longer I can hold on... With it hit I receive, I feel that my heart is slowing losing its grip...

I really dunno how much longer it can hold on... Please... Let it fall to its death, never again shall it love. Or rescue it and love it with all your heart & soul...

For my heart has been hurt... too deep...

?Am I blind?

Am I blind? I'm not sure at all...

Why does my heart hurts so much whenever I hear her mentioning about him?!

How much more things must I do in order to your eyes & your heart fixed onto me?

How much more do I need to do before you can see me?

How much more things must I do more than him?

How much more.... How much more...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love the rain...

Because whenever it rains, it reflected the sadness within me...

When it rains, my heart rains as well...

Whenever heaven doesn't send rain, I'll take a bathe... The water coming out from the shower-head is just like the rain... "Tap, Tap, Tap" all over my body...

I can cry all I want when I'm bathing... No one will know... Because even I dunno whether it's rain or tears...

I love the rain...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I always wonder...

"What if one day I disappear from the face of this Earth..."

Will anyone notice? Will anyone be sad? Will anyone conduct a search for me?

Or will my disappearance go unnoticed?

I don't know... Maybe I should try it one day...

Regina's Birthday

After yesterday's rushing about to get the items ready for Regina's Birthday, finally today has arrived. Before I went to work, I stopped over at the Cake shop to pay the remaining amount of the cake. Then, I dashed across the road to the Florist shop to pay the money for 2 Sunflowers...

Ok! Everything is all set & ready. What's lacking is a gift & card for Regina... The day's work was rather smooth... Almost all the wedding packages' inquiries are being handled by me now, unless I have certain things I'm not sure then I'll seek clarification from Eileen or Mr. Michael...

And more surprising... All of us knocked off at 6pm haha!!! GREAT! Enough time for me to head down to Apollo Center to prepare the dining table and get a Birthday Card for Regina.

7:50pm. SHOWTIME! Met up with Hui & Regina at Clark Quay station. All dressed very nice haha!!! When we arrived at the Vegetarian Restaurant at Apollo Center, Regina got a shock when she saw the things on the table... Big sunflowers by the side and the gifts for her placed nicely in the center... Finished up with a Birthday Card

[Hope you don't mind the designs on the card... Cuz I haven done drawing for almost 7 years...]

We ordered a lot, a lot of food haha! Well enough talk.. Here are the photos...
