wat happened?

.
About 1-2 months ago, in my ex-company...

My then-colleague just bought Jay Chou's latest music album. Hurriedly, i transferred them into my iPod, so that later on the way home, Dear can listen in the car. =D

In the car...
I happily played Jay Chou's songs for Dear to listen.
.
.
.
Dear... is... bewildered...
He skips every song after listening for less than 1 minute.

Dear is really bewildered... and getting traumatised...
He does not believe that the songs are sung by Jay Chou.
So i said: "It's Jay Chou's voice ar..."
He then asks me: "Are you VERY SURE that these songs are from Jay Chou's latest album?"
I replied: "Yes, Dear... It's REALLY is his latest album."


He complains: "These songs sounds so kiddish."
He muses: "Where are his nice songs? His touching & emotional songs?"

Then he proceeded to change the current playlist to Jay Chou's old songs playlist.

And never again, was Jay Chou's newest songs ever heard in the car.

He is THAT devastated.

Christmas

.
WHERE ARE YOU,

CHRISTMAS?

Why do i not feel the Christmas spirit?
Why do others i know, feel the same way as i do?
Or is it cuz i've grown out of it?

Or as one grows older, being shouldered with more burden and responsibility, one can no longer celebrate festivals with a light heart?

It used to be my favourite festive.
And it still is.
But where has all the joy & cheer gone to?

An incident seen

.
Guy is having bak-kut-teh at MS, happily chatting with friends.

Guy sees Integra on the road, thinks: Integra, i like..
Expression: delighted & appreciating the car.

Guy sees P-plate, thinks: P-plate also like Integra. haha.
Expression: smiling-knowing look cuz of similar likes.

Guy sees gal driving alone in the car, thinks: Walau eh... Female sia...
Expression: pleasure-mix-with-wary cuz car can attract opposite sex but feels that female drivers should be barred on the roads.

Guy sees Type R sticker on the side of the Integra, thinks: WHAT THE F*#K?!
Expression: jaw-dropped, speechless & incredulous cuz feels that who in their sensible mind will let a P-plate driver drive an Integra Type R, furthermore a char-bor!

small updates

.
i've been quite busy with work recently cuz am doing month-end reports thus not much time to blog. there is so much to learn and my boss is just so impressive with her knowledge that she is willing to share with me.
making me realised that although initially i thought that it was only diplomas which barely touches the surface but who knows that, degrees only touches slightly more deeper than diplomas.

i just signed a 3-years membership with California Fitness cuz i've got no classes for both studying & driving anymore, and i wanna lose weight. not one to idle on weekdays' evenings so now i've got exercising classes. i enjoy the sweat-it-out feeling during classes. and i perversely enjoy the bodyaches after working out. haha.

brought my family out for a seafood dinner with dear to celebrate mummy-dearest's birthday.

celebrated dearie yvette's birthday. silently loving this close friend of mine and wishing her all the best.

went to m'sia for 1 night last weekend for grandpa's birthday celebration.

my 1st on the road driving experience is driving grandpa's old car. a 25-years-old car driven on the uneven & dimly-lighted roads of m'sia, with my 3 sisters and 3 cousins in the car, with no p-plates displayed & with my license in sg.

i am not proud to say that i can't park for nuts.

boggled over what to buy for christmas and also monetary issues.

can anyone teach me how to be more patient, more forgiving, less short-tempered & less cuttingly rude? i seem to have forgone mine for an armour shield.

=D finally, my good news!

.
One of my driving instructor had mentioned that it had better rain on the day, i take my driving test.

Apparently he said that i drive better in the rain, cuz i am unable to see cars through the heavy downpour, thus i do not panic.

Our inside joke on my 4th lesson. =p

It did rain today but it was no heavy downpour nor was it a small drizzle.
.

After 26 lessons, i am proud to announce that..

I've passed my driving test on my 1st attempt.
Total accumulated points: 16
.

So proud of myself.
*gives myself a pat on my shoulder*
.

a gentle reminder

I am happy with my life now.
So i shall not complain.
And be content with what i have.

Things come & go,
Just like people.

I refuse to be affected by it.

Bad stuff just like to hover around,
like people no longer in contact,
and even bad issues.

Keep it impersonal.
Let it go.
That's the life lessons i've learnt.

But yet i wonder:
Why is it so hard to give up hope?
To let hope die & never rise again?

When that's my blanket of shelter,
to protect me from past hauntings,
and pain inflicted unknowingly.

I will stay firm on my beliefs,
for i can see clearer now.

scattered thoughts

Been wanting to blog about a few things but i was
1) lazy (it's in my nature),
2) busy with work (i had resigned),
3) busy with my social activities (learning driving and meeting up with friends during weekends), and
4) tired (cuz i am drained?)
whicheva way you wanna read it.

So now, it's too late for me to talk about National Treasure, an U.S.A. reality show (a mix between The Amazing Race and Survivor). I had wanted to show the Youtube clip but alas, the video has been removed due to copyrights issue. duh!

I wanna share this link with all piano_players-cum-JayChou_fanatics out there:
GangQinPu=PianoScores The link is given by my sister, Serene. After watching The Secret by Jay Chou, she asked her friends if they had the music scores Jay Chou played in the movie cuz she said that she wanted to learn.

However when I asked her to play the music pieces for me, she's currently too busy playing MapleStory to learn the high level of difficulty piano pieces. She has even asked me to spread the word that whoever helps her complete her MapleStory, she will pay that person S$50. Do note that S$50 is quite a princely sum of money to her. Afterall, she is only 13 years old this year.

Friendster deleted my wonderful testimonial for Gwen, and i can't seem to get back the impromptu inspiration to write the EXACT SAME testimonial for her.
I was re-writing my testimonial for her with the initial mindset to post it here then i changed my mind. I will post it on her Friendster instead, but i will share the adorable pictures which are attached together with her NEW testimonial.
Cuz it's darn UNIQUE & cute and everytime i see these pics, its makes me go: aw... it's just so cute...

I shall end here, although i still have a few things i wanna write about. But Gwen's new testimonial has dried up my writing juices for the day.

My tortoises:
big tortoise: my gift for Dear when we were just friends.
and i so uber-adore the small tortoises given by Yvonne. =D

About Sex...

Naughty! haha!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Did you know that you can tell from the skin whether a person is sexually active or not?

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

8Days Recommendations

.
I will so definitely gonna get FAT... T.T
a) if every copy of 8Days Food Review has something to tempt me, AND
b) if i actually manage to patronise the places. (e.g. with friends or the more difficult option: persuade Kel to bring me there.)

woo... I would hate to get fat but i would hate to miss trying out the food... They all seem so irresistably delectable & yummilicous...

1) 2AM Desert Bar @ 21A Lorong Liput, Holland Village
(Tel: 6291-9727. Opens daily from 6.30pm-2.00am and only closed on Sundays)
Apparently you can have unique desserts, matched with wine.

2) $3 soursop with jelly and lychees @ Newton Food Centre #01-05
Sounds shiok, right?!

3) Jackie Chan's Cafe @ #01-07 1 Nassim Road (opposite Tanglin Shopping Centre)
(Tel: 6235-7958. Opens daily from 8am to 10pm)
This place serves dimsum. I have my eyes on the mango dessert, egg tarts and char siew bao.

I am doing injustice to 8Days reviews. Cuz i have no pics for you to be tempted, so perhaps you will not be able to understand why i wanna go try out these places/food.
Otherwise, as Kel says, i am just greedy. Maybe i am greedy but i am greedy with good taste. haha!

Lastly, I will also definitely gonna get BROKE by 8Days...
a) if i go to every chillout places recommended, and/or
b) if i can't resist the temptation to buy the items reviewed or advertised.

Currently on my list:

1) Chilling out at Majestic Bar, which is next New Majestic Hotel.
(41 Bukit Pasoh Rd Tel: 6534-8800. Closed on Sundays)
Hopefully, i will be able to check out this place this Sat with my classmates and some friends.

2) Newly opened GUESS Footwear Store @ Raffles City Shopping Centre #01-11
They have this pair of gorgeous-sexy-monochromatic Arabella heels which costs $165.90.
I so abso-heart it when i saw its pic.

Currently i am waiting for a better promotion before i finally subscribe to 8Days. =D
Or should i be banned from it?


~~
Anyway, yesterday, i finally used the Kimage Gift Card, my colleagues gave me for my birthday this year. I used it to dye my hair colour dark/medium brown.
Later, i gonna do hair treatment with my colleagues at Kimage Academy. Cuz it's uber cheap.
I am very broke, ok?
My driving lessons wounded me. The annual insurance premium recently paid killed me.

But i refuse to leave my hair uncared for!

Bloody madhouse

.
KPE (Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway) Phase 1 is open today.

And I reached office at 9.30am! KNN..... -_-lll

I start work at 8.30am, being late for 15mins is fine. But NOT freaking 60mins later!

The beginning...
The trip on the ECP from Bedok to Tanjong Pagar, used to only take 20mins, max. So i usually reached office at 8.45am.
Later, the IR (integrated resort, or the CASINO) is to be built. So BIG & HEAVY & ULTRA SLOW trucks-loaded-with-sand started to invade ECP, when there were already CONTAINERS & BIG BUSES on the roads during PEAK hours. And so the journey took up 30mins, max. Gradually i reached office at 9am.
(Kel & I refuse to give up our precious sleep. Honestly, i have been pondering recently why is it that even though i no longer need to study or attend night classes, my lifestyle seems more packed causing me to be more tired compared to studying part-time? *digressing*)

Final straw: KPE to ease traffic on CTE & PIE
NNB.
To get to the KPE, one gotta use the ECP first. Journey to work on the 1st day of the opening of KPE Phase 1 took 45mins. (i overslept by 15mins cuz it was a Fri, and i din know of the KPE opening.)
Reached office: A record breaking 9.30am. How fashionably late can i get?

This is only Phase 1 of KPE. I simply "can't" wait for KPE to be wholly open. Time to take the MRT train again, it's more reliable.

Oh, i think i forgot to mention that currently, the number of cars in Singapore have crossed the half a million mark. Due to low COE prices and low upfront deposit payment. Sweet.

But hor... The number of the ERP gantries have increased and will continue to increase in the future, to include EVENING PEAK hours. And there was also a recent increase in the ERP prices.
hmm... So why the FARK is there still a BLOODY traffic jam in the morning?

Why not disallow the big vehicles to travel during peak hours to ease the traffic, especially on expressways?
Why not increase the COE prices to reduce the number of vehicles?
Why not scrap the low upfront payment finance scheme to further reduce the number of vehicles on the road?

Isn't this nice?
A perfect reason for the Government to place more ERP gantries and raise ERP prices but not solving the obvious issue which is that there are simply too many cars in Small Singapore area.

Or is it just better to benefit from the REVENUE it can generate for the economy?

Gosh! We may soon become the 1st country with a high volume of traffic jams but a small country area in size. Nothwithstanding the numbers of 'fees' we have to pass through &/or pay.

Ironic $ingapore.
.

I am an Analyst-to-be.

.
I have just signed the appointment letter for the position of ANALYST during lunch!
Dun understand? I FOUND A NEW JOB so bring out the champagne! hahahaha *uber happy*


An opportunity to learn new things, a more challenging role. =D
Hopefully, i will finally be able to stay long in this company, adapt to a new culture, get along with the people there, do my work well and be recognized for my efforts. *cross my fingers*
A different job scope but in the same industry, no more drastic changes in my career history.

A wish come true, an opportunity given, so i will do my best to learn and give my best.
If all goes well, i hope to start on my further studies by the end of next year.

I will start work on 26 Nov, Monday.

=D

    Subject: Very Inspiring: Breakfast at McDonald's

    Tml i will blog, in the meantime..


    Subject: Very Inspiring: Breakfast at McDonald's

    Dear All,

    Please read until the end.

    This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

    I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

    The last class I had to take was Sociology.

    The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

    Her last project of the term was called "Smile."

    The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

    I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

    Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

    It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

    We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

    I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.

    As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

    As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling".

    His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

    He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

    The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

    I held my tears as I stood there with them.

    The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

    He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

    Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.

    That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

    I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

    I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

    He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."

    I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."

    I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."

    We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

    We are not church goers, but we are believers.

    That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

    I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand

    I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it.

    Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?"

    I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

    She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

    In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

    I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

    Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - Never LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

    Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

    To handle yourself, use your head.
    To handle others, use your heart.


    God Gives every bird its food, but God does not throw it into its nest.

    Prayers.

    .
    It's been so long since i last prayed.

    But too many things have happened. To the people around me and to me.

    All these uncertainties scares me, leading me to pray to find solace, at times to even seek answers.

    But Who shall i pray to?
    to the One who says that He already has a path for us, telling us to leave our burdens with Him.
    Or?
    to the One who can give us divinations, answers to our questions and worries.

    All i want is for all the unpleasanties to be over, for us to be well.

    Praying again. The faith was always there.

    driving..

    .
    Yesterday, i went for my compensation driving lesson from the school (driving centre).

    Earlier this week, i had requested not to have 2 instructors to coach me for future lessons. The reason i cited was that the 100mins (1 lesson = 100mins) were not fully utilised bcuz they released me from my lesson early. No need to be exactly 100mins but at least dun eat up 20mins of my lesson mah! The other reason i stated was that by the end of the lesson, i felt that i did not fully learn what they they were supposed to teach me for that particular lesson and they could still stamped in my booklet.

    For instance: I was supposed to learn 'kerbside stopping & moving off'. Yet i only did it twice during a lesson which only lasted 80mins. I believe another 10-15mins of the action 'kerbside stopping & moving off' will not hurt, right?

    Mind you. I am taking school lessons, so it's kinda more expensive than private lessons.
    Per my calculations:
    - dun go circuit: school student pays more by at least S$30.
    - go circuit: school student still pays more by at least S$10!
    Plus it's not like i drive around the circuit for all my lessons.

    But of course, school students have priority in test dates. The main reason why i chose to learn driving via school. Much sooner by at least 3 months, which compensates the expensive fees we are being charged for, compared to private students.

    Oh, in case you are wondering why was i not happy cuz they gave me more stamps in the booklet. Maybe i am weird, ok.
    For i do NOT like sub-standard learning. I rather go through the torturous lessons over and over again till i do it WELL. I mean, what for? They let me pass through the stages sooner but ultimately, i am a lousy driver and what if i keep failing? *TOUCHWOOD!*

    Well, those are the reasons on why i had an compensation lesson of 60mins yesterday (30mins for each unfortunate lesson).

    Mr Lim , the shift in-charge coached me for the lesson. Quite big shit, if ya ask me. From an instructor to becoming in-charge of the office. Anyway, he was GREAT! Not only did he taught well but he also went beyond his duty by letting the lesson overrun by 40mins just to make sure that i understood and really learnt.

    I've yet to finish commending him.

    Previously, out of my own folly, i did not book any lessons for 3 weeks leading to no driving lessons for 6 weeks till my next practical lesson. Thus i had then decided to engage a private instructor to coach me during those 6 weeks, so i won't forget what i've learnt before or be so rusty on my next school lesson. Plus the fact that my practical test is like 2.5 months later.
    10 weeks to Test MINUS 6 weeks no lessons EQUALS 4 weeks left!
    Like tat where got enough time to finish all the lessons in the booklet WELL!!!

    Mr Lim, once again, went beyond his call of duty, and helped me booked 6 lessons for these 6 weeks. His only requirement: I am not to engage a private instructor to coach me during these 6 weeks. I dun mind. He did me a favour. And i shall abide his requirement. =D Cheerios!

    Anyway, for a school student to go for private remedial classes by a private instructor is S$6/hour MORE expensive than what their own private students are paying. Caoz! Plus adding the possibility whereby you are not their private student so they are also not obliged to coach you well or the proper techniques or correct your bad habits or even pinpoint your mistakes.

    Yes, school instructors can also do the above. But they've have got a certain standard to attain and they run the fear of being giving a warning letter or even sacked. This industry is already so competitive. Do you know that the Govt no longer issues private instructor licenses? And that those part-timers instructors in the school can only teach in school and not register themselves as private instructors after they resign from the school cuz their instructor license will automatically revoked.

    I did not even know forehand that my avoidance request would lead to a compensation lesson for me. And for the instructor, after investigation and if indeed my reasons are valid and no doubt true, the instructor will either receive a warning letter or dismissal, if it's his dunno-how-many-warning-letters-already.

    I am not encouraging complaining for no rhyme or reason. I just wanted to learn well. And i did not throw my tantrum. I nicely asked if it was possible to request that 2 particular instructors not to coach me for my lessons in the future. Just like what some others do: nicely request for a particular instructor to coach them, at an additional charge of S$10.

    But now, i have Mr Lim's name in my booklet. So... that means that ALL my future instructors cant play play anymore. Cool eh!

    seems quite true... at the moment...

    Saw this test Colorgenics while reading Finicky Feline's blog, so i just click on it.

    The results is quite freakily true. I've bold & italics those which precisely describes how i feel during this period. The thoughts. The strong overwhelming feelings. Perhaps even the truth, which i have not been facing up to.


    Here's the results:

    You are feeling exhausted, worn out, drained. You feel that far too much is being asked of you but you still want to overcome these difficulties and establish yourself despite the effect such an effort seems to have on you. You are a proud person, assertive most of the time, but at this particular moment you are acting as if you have become resigned to the situation. What you need is some tender loving care - a gentle pat on the head (or maybe a 'kick-up-the backside') and then you'll be raring to go.

    You are in need of rest, some peace and quiet. You feel the need to be close to that someone special, that someone who can give you that special consideration and unquestioning affection that you seek. If you don't find that 'special someone' and resolve your problems very soon, you are liable to become extremely introverted and cut yourself off from society.

    At times all of us would like to be like the ostrich - to be able to bury our heads in the sand and let the rest of the world go by, but unfortunately you can't do just that - you have to face up to reality. A little peace and quiet would be most acceptable at this time but if only one could turn a blind eye to the problems of the day! Tomorrow is another day and who knows, it could be 'today' (not tomorrow) that could be the first day of the rest of your life!

    For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - until they can prove themselves to you.

    You are presently worried about your future and you feel that whatever you do will go wrong. At this time you are your own worst enemy. All the disappointment that you have experienced, coupled with the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals, have led to anxiety. You would like recognition and a position of trust but you are concerned that these hopes and dreams may not be realised. You are very argumentative and insistent that you are right - maybe you are - but you are pushing too hard. Take it easy, let go, and smile. Smiling and agreeing with people works wonders - try it and see.

    Lastly, an uber entertaining email from my officer. =D

    Subject: Competition Time - Naming the Meeting Rooms.

    Dear all,
    As you know we have quite a few meeting rooms and calling them 'meeting room one', 'meeting room two' and so on, is not very memorable.
    We would like your suggestions on what we should call the main meeting rooms on the first and second floors. There are a maximum of 8 meeting rooms to be named.


    Please send me your suggested theme/room names by Wednesday, 12th September and we will select the best entry.
    There will be a bottle of bubbly for the best suggestion!
    Best of luck!
    Regards,
    Dim




    Reply 1, from a very handsome foreigner in our office, unfortunately a himbo or lamer, you decide:

    I'll suggest Italian fashion designer

    Valentino, Balenciaga, Cavalli, Dolce, Gabbana, Ferragamo, Moschino, Prada, Versace, Zegan...

    For one floor and French Fashion designer for the other floor :

    Cardin, Chanel, Courreges, Dior, Lacroix, Gaultier, Givenchy, Hermes, Lanvin, Saint-Laurent, Rykiel.

    Regards,
    Nic



    Reply 2, a patriotic but ultra creative(?) & much smarter guy whom i do not know:
    Being Scottish, I would propose naming the rooms after Scottish Lochs.

    Some of my favourites are:
    Loch Awe,
    Loch Crinan,
    Loch Earn,
    Loch Leven,
    Loch Lomond (the largest, and therefore suitable for the largest meeting room),
    Loch Lubnaig,
    Loch Ness (the second largest and also the home of "Nessy"),
    Loch Venachar.


    They are easier to pronounce than you think. Below is a link to a bigger list in case my theme makes it, but my specific choices do not.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lochs_in_Scotland

    And if you wanted to separate the two floors, you could always name one floor after Lochs, and the other after Mountains (Which have the prefix "Ben")

    for example:
    Ben Cruachan
    Ben Lui
    Ben Nevis
    Ben Vorlich

    Here is a list of Scottish mountains (well the Munros anyway)... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Munros

    Regards,

    Ian


    Reply 3, can't lose out to patriotic guy but boring female:

    How about some Singapore-related names e.g.

    Founder of Singapore
    Stamford Room
    Raffles Room

    Ex-Presidents of Singapore
    Sheares Room
    Yusof Room

    Areas/Streets/MRT stations in Singapore
    Sentosa
    Orchard
    Shenton Way
    Somerset
    Newton
    Scotts
    Bugis
    Marina Bay
    Lavender
    Queenstown
    Dhoby Ghaut
    Woodlands
    Riviera
    Farrer Park
    Little India
    Chinatown


    Regards,
    Beth


    Lastly, Reply 4, from my officer, which was only sent to our team. As the saying goes 'If you can't beat them, join them!':
    omg! see below.

    so far we've had names of fashion houses, scottish lakes, london streeets, healing crystals, planets, 7 dwarfs, famous golf courses, founding fathers of s'pore, MRT stations (with "closing door"alert, etc

    my list is better: now comes with pics to place on meeting room door. no broker can make mistake which room to go. LOL. (btw, i had fun preparing this email!)

    I love? I hate?

    .
    > I LOVE Mango... juice
    I can drink 2 cups of mango ice blended during lunch. Then during dinner, i can still eat mangoes!
    Where do you find yummilicious & cheap mango ice blended?? At Amoy Food Centre, Level 2. And it's only S$1.50. CHEAP!
    Alternatively, i love soursop blended, guava with plum powder blended, strawberry blended and also a mix juice of pineapple, papaya & milk (this cost S$1.80).



    > I HATE long queues...
    REALLY!!!! Usually a long queue turns me off but now... i willingly queue more than 20mins for my mango juice, for my Bee Hoon Kway, and for DONUTS too....
    Do you know that I actually queued for more than 1hour for Missy Donuts at Plaza Sing. I can't believe myself.
    I dun like to eat ondeh ondeh... Yet tat time i queued more than half an hour for my colleague cuz i had nothing to do. I tried it but i still dun like ondeh ondeh. It's the famous ondeh ondeh at Maxwell Food Centre.



    > I LOVE Amoy & Maxwell Food Centre
    Think i need not say much ba... Except yummilicious!


    > I LOVE Zouk!!!
    Gimme Zouk over MOS or any other clubs anytime!!!
    Me, no like St. James Power Station. Urgh!
    Me, is going to Zouk, this Sat, for Paul van Dyke! *smug*
    Me, love Zouk's drinks. Shiok! haha!



    > I LOVE shopping. (Who doesn't?)
    Getting hooked to online shopping too. *jialatz* You see my online shopping links at the right side?
    For a pair of shoes, i bought last year but uo to date, with nothing to match its grey colour, i have not worn it. Recently, I bought a pair of pants and a skirt just to match it FINALLY. Actually, i could have just bought the pants and forget it. But being too deprieved of not wearing the shoes before, i went to buy another matching skirt. Ha!
    Is this grey really so hard to match? The pic of my shoe.
    my grey shoes
    Kel's wardrobe is TOO SMALL to contain my stuff!



    > I LOVE HER!
    Gabrielle the baby in our family
    My baby sister. A picture says a thousand words. =D

    thoughts cant focus

    .
    today my thoughts are weird. they seem jagged, shattered or in-pieces? they simply cant focus.

    been feeling down for the past few weeks. indescribable... pain? yearning? confusion? heartache? i dunno.

    need to keep myself busy, to focus on other matters till its all over. but the mind refuses to help. its getting lazy due to its inactivity.
    i am getting lazy together with the mind, too lazy to do anything. to lazy to do wat i should be doing to achieve my goals.
    or am i subconsciously trying to escape from reality? or am i finding excuses?

    yet when the truth forces me to face up to it. dark fear overwhelms me. tears flow freely. the knowledge of it, the power of it, is overpowering.

    and i allow it to overwhelm me, to control me, to render me helpless. to be pathetic.

    i am getting out of hand.


    "once again, she did it.
    sorry. she's really sorry.
    please forgive her for her mistake..."

    stop asking so many questions la!

    .
    I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND! Why do some people like to ask so many questions, especially when i am doing them a favour?

    Why am i so fed-up?
    Bcuz i asked some of my friends if they were interested in ordering nail polish or perfumes online, which was much cheaper. And some of them ask too many questions!

    What type of questions?
    1) how do you know of this website?
    2) is this website reliable?
    3) are the products sold real or fake? (when i ans them with REAL, some can still ask again 'sure anot?')
    4) wat benefits do we have if we order from this website?
    5) do you have any friends who have bought products from the website?
    6) if yes, are they satisfied with the products? if not, why?

    ARGH!!!!!!!!

    Obviously, i would have checked if the websites i gave them were trustworthy sites that sold authentic products, before i asked my friends, right? By checking, it means that i have other friends who have bought products from the websites and they are very satisfied with it.
    Who, in their right minds, wants to be blame for introducing their friends with fake or unsatisfied stuff, right?

    Furthermore, why do i even bother asking my friends if they were interested in ordering the products anot?
    Bcuz the prices were much cheaper and if we mass order, there could even be a bigger discount, for everyone to enjoy!

    So caoz! I AM DOING YOU A FAVOUR LO!!!!

    Walau eh! Not as if i got commission if you order lo! If i do earn commission, then kindly distance yourself from me and do not even consider me as your friend, ok?

    Thus, if you are interested in ordering, just give me the orders. Kindly DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT ask so many questions. It makes people very pek-chek one, you know!

    If you ask so many questions, i will only feel the following :
    1) you don't trust me
    2) you are a cheapo cuz you want it super cheap and also super good. (u r e type of person who 'ai-pi-gu-ai-chi'. in hokkien, pls)
    3) you are simply to lazy to find out yourself and just want people to do all the work for you (u r kns.)

    My suggestion for the above: DON'T BUY! harlow! No one is forcing you!

    If you wanna buy, please be more 爽快(shuang kuai).
    If you dun wanna buy, you can still be 爽快(shuang kuai).
    Like some of my other friends. Muacks to them!

    If i know it was to be so 麻烦(ma fan), i won't even ask lo. Seriously, when can i ever learn to stop being helpful?!

    After all, I DO have the option of not asking if anyone is interested. And i can just selfishly and happily place my own orders without any unnecessary trouble.

    End of rant.
    .

    yeah! finally... Corrinne May - On the side of me

    .
    Finally...
    Do enjoy...
    The long-awaited...

    BUT IT IS NOT OUT YET. 30 Aug 07! *sulks*

    SYNOPSIS

    Academy Award®-winning director Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and the amazing storytellers at Pixar Animation Studios ("Cars," "Finding Nemo") take you into an entirely new and original world where the unthinkable combination of a rat and a 5-star gourmet restaurant come together for the ultimate fish-out-of-water tale.

    In the hilarious new animated-adventure, "Ratatouille," a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

    Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef. Directed by Academy Award®-winner Brad Bird.

    so many things, too little time

    An entry about the things & happenings around me, which i want to write about. Dunno why i dun have time to do so though... So this will be a rather messy entry with no proper train of thought.

    Ok, to start on the shorter topics 1st, so if i lose focus, i can continue the entry with a Part 2! Haha!


    My Bali holiday trip with Kelvin

    The long-overdue photos are already uploaded into my imagestation, just that i have not started on the captions. And captions are important cuz they can tell a story without me writing an entry.

    Once done, i will post the link.


    Company's Dept Retreat to Phuket

    I was so looking forward to it but now due to unforeseen circumstances, i am not going anymore.

    The very 1st time, our managers open the Retreat to involve support staff. I was so happy! Counting down to the days the trip would arrived. Although the trip was initially postponed for a month later, none of my colleagues or my mood were dampened. But now, all the anticipation for nought. I can only stay in Singapore as others enjoy.

    It was supposed to be my 1st time going to Phuket! To stay at JW Marriot (5-star hotel!) with a room for myself and I could also ask my friend along, for all that was required from my friend was to pay for her own air-ticket cuz we would be sharing the room together.
    Neither do i have the chance to experience whitewater rafting for the 1st time too.
    Furthermore, EVERYTHING, except shopping, were to be on the Company's expenses.

    And it was also supposed to be my 1st time in participating in a Company Retreat.
    In the past, i did NOT even bother about Company's events (Annual D&D / Family Day / etc) nor colleagues' gatherings (dinner after work / bowling or meeting up at East Coast Park during the weekends). I never went to any of it at all. The most i ever did was going to Big Boss' house during CNY, in my 1st job. Only once & never again.

    During then, I chose not to mingle with them cuz i felt that they were only colleagues to me, nothing more. But ever since working in my current Co, i no longer want to feel or be detached from my colleagues.

    Oh! Last year Nov, i was thinking of a destination to go for a short holiday in Dec. Phuket or Krabi? Krabi or Phuket? In the end, i decided to opt for Krabi & forgo Phuket. So when i heard that the Retreat was to be held in Phuket this year, i was overjoyed! Too happy, too soon.... i suppose...

    Now i am still missing this trip. T.T


    Jaye's Phi Phi Islands, Krabi Trip

    Jaye, my colleague, shared her holiday photos with us. And the beach there is absolutely gorgeous!

    My resolve to go Krabi next year has strengthened!
    Earlier i mentioned about deciding between Phuket & Krabi, and finally choosing Krabi as my holiday destination. Then i realised that Dec was in the midst of Krabi's monsoon season (which ends in Jan). So i thought of going to Krabi in Feb this year instead. Well, i shelved the plan again, this time to Feb next year, cuz during then (Feb 07), i was still having night classes and i did not want to miss any classes. It was my final year le, too much at stake.

    Before i digress further, let me show you the pics now! Maybe after seeing the gorgeous beach, you will be tempted too. Then we can plan a group trip! Haha!





    A sea-shell..


    Don't be deceived!






    Very clear, right?




    Screensaver, anyone?












    So clear! So aquatic blue! So many fishes!


    Someone amidst of fishes! COOL!




    Now do you understand why am i so determined to go Krabi? =D


    SW's Marriage Proposal

    The following true life story is based upon my male colleague, SW.

    It will most definitely, i think, 'spoil the market' and 'up the scales' on how much or how far a guy should propose marriage in the future. So are you sure you wanna read on??? *sniggers*

    It will thoroughly eliminate the following types of proposal. Horrendous or cheesy or lazy or blah? You decide.
    - 'Let's go see houses.'
    - 'Let's apply for a HDB.'
    - 'Let's set a date with ROM.'
    - 'Do you think it's time for us to settle down?'
    - Bring the gal into a jewellery shop & asking her to choose a ring. Worse still, immediately choose wedding bands.
    - Asking 'Auntie, is it ok with you if i marry your daughter?' infront of your girlfriend. *smacks forehead*
    - Replying 'No need propose one la. Will get married then will get married. She dun want to get married without a proposal, then dun marry lo. haha!', when friends ask him when he intends to propose to her, infront of her. *JERK-ARSEHOLE*

    And perhaps the following marriage proposals will be the NORM.
    - Public marriage proposal.
    - On-bended knee proposal.
    - Planned surprise proposal.
    - Televised marriage proposal.
    In whichever combination, you like. eg. Most recently, televised an on-bended knees marriage proposal in public on National Day. Planned, indeed. But planned to be televised? *shrugs* I don't know.

    Now it is..........................

    Going overseas for a holiday and taking the chance for a surprise marriage proposal while in a hot air balloon (at least 150metres above ground level) with the clear blue skies as backdrop, and a HUGE banner with the words 'Will you marry me?' laid down upon the lush greenery below...

    Gosh! Lotsa planning involved & required far in advance. To liaise with the hot air balloon owner and prepare the banner.

    That is how SW proposed to his girlfriend!

    The prefect romantic unique special marriage proposal... *sniffles & tears* so romantic and sweet... aaww...

    Before it slips my mind: Apparently, it was also the hot air balloon owner's 1st time. His 1st time in arranging something like this, furthermore, it was a marriage proposal. =D

    ps: Currently, if you are thinking of the DHL hot air balloon @ Bugis. STOP! Please kindly kick yourself in the balls HARD! No imagination, no creativity! Surrounded by tall but awful grey and dull buildings! Where on earth are you going to place the banner?
    On the roads? You mean that the yellow and grey roads as the background of the banner is nicer than lush greenery?! That stopping traffic is a BIG deal? Well, maybe... And perhaps you could get it televised then the media can also help you with the co-ordination. If possible, get the costs sponsored too. -.-
    Oh! You intend to let the banner be displayed on the walls of a tall building facing the hot air balloon. With special smoky and lighting effect like the Suntec fountain and also not forgetting the music and wordings too. -.- -.-

    I am beginning to digress again. So i think i am tired already.


    That is absolutely all for today!
