Generally I avoid blogging on weekends since i usually blog at work in the morning before work starts. But since im in an unexplainable good mood today, I felt that this day is worth commemorating=D
For one, I stunned this guy in MacDonalds by asking him for a Zinger student meal=)
Can I have a student's meal?
:Which one do you want?
erm.. Zinger?
: HUH? *BLANK*
erm.. I mean.. erm.. can I have nuggets? =)
There was Fire Drill today and Fire Extinguisher Training today=) haha.. Its so funny that I had to laugh. Tried out the fire entinguisher as well! FIRST TIME eh! haha.. The powder is so interesting. But I cant help but wonder if the powder in the fire extinguisher is really sufficient to put out fire! Its like.. used up pretty soon.
Bleahz. And you guys cannot believe how I forgot my knock-off time today. The number one skiver did not bring his laptop today. So we were looking at this document on my laptop.
I said: aye.. you continue with the typing. I'll 'nap' a while first.
'huh? why do u want to nap, can go home already'
* reading the time: 1140*
: Like really can go home like that...
*both sides confused*
*thinking*
: OH~~ we knock off at 1145 HOR! I thought its 1230! *Laughs*
Went out with Jen and yf for dinner after work at Jurong East yesterday. haha.. Personally I feel that its always very funny when the 3 of us are together. Jen likes to crack jokes in her own manner. Whatever I say, its ALWAYS WRONG. And what does yf do? Sit there and laugh AT me. hmm.. Im serious about him laughing AT me. Its unfair. We were talking about another colleague and how I rationalize his actions to him not starting a family yet. Jen said: since you are not doing that, does it mean that you are already planning to start one? *Laughs* hmm... and apparently, one other colleague was interested to see if I will fall for him during my brief 3 months stint there=p
Thank you Ai Yun for collecting my visa for me. So yup. Its done. And housing results are out as well=) Santa Ynez. I wonder how do I pronounce the 'Ynez'=D Got to accept the housing and also book my air tickets!
okie. About the dance lesson today. Who can believe that Shawn came back! Even after missing 3 whole weeks of lessons! haha.. And he managed to catch up with everything today=) How nice is that? hee. I was so hyper that I danced so many times and not feel tired=D Somehow, I always liked Saturday's lessons more than Wednesday's. Fewer people on saturdays and also, the time is in the noon. When Im more awake and happy=)
People do have their own friends and their own social circle that you weren't a part of. Many do not like to intrude. But sometimes, being left out (which is a choice of yours actually) does not make you feel any better. Well..
A random point: Vin is pronounced as 'Varn' in French.
Tomorrow is yf's competition! If im not wrong, its called Stardust or something. Well, I hope that his efforts will show! eh. the point is, enjoying the entire process of getting to where you are. Jia you!
Heute ist eine Guten Tag=D

在乎灰天

Why am I feeling sad? Nothing that should concern me happened. And im certain its not even disappointment, anger or stress. Im just feeling sad at work today. 开始了吗？我的天空今天有点灰...
Aside from my ridiculous feeling, these few days have just been tiring for me. haha.. eh. not that i havent been sleeping, but my body just doesnt seem to be rested. haha.. I have no idea why.. Grace asks me to take some vitamins.
Went out with sl 2 days ago to orchard to provide some female opinion that he much requires. and its 光明正大地出去! haha.. went to look at shoes and clothes that are generally abit metrosexual but not yet gay la. haha.. heh. sl. arent u impressed by me? I have your sms as proof! haha.. he said that I can be image consultant=)
Gotta comment that the clothes sl asked me to look at are the typical kind that I like. The woolen, knitted and all that. oh yea! haha.. suddenly realise. the clothes that yf wears to work are very nice as well. the same pattern kind. haha.. but then. hmm.. he said usually he likes erm.. very bright stuff? haha..
Sl was very shag that day from his previous outing in the noon. I was very shag because of a long day at work. haha.. the first thing he asked me in Long John was : have u been sleeping? haha.. I realised that my concealer under my eye ran. so yup. my super impressive dark eye circles! abit on the scary side. haha..
And because of some fault on either sl or black, our little trip to orchard became: (all quoted from black)
'why did you go out SNEAKILY with sl?'
'sl said he shag and he make you very shag'
!! seriously, what rubbish=D
but it was very funny though. coming from black, what do you expect?
sl! go and practice smiling! haha=D that was unacceptable eh. I don't like fake smiles! hee.
Yesterday was pin's and tc's bday. I typed a super long msg for each of them. haha.. tc replied and sound so happy to receive my mail. pin just told me that she started tearing and why am i not there for her to hug me. haha=D im good. aint I? haha..Happy Birthday!! Take my wishes with you all wherever you are and whatever you are doing!
Everyone is changing as the days pass, as we age, as we see new things. Maturity is linked to experience. Not age. How I agree with this.
Now that Im sad, how I wish there is some one here for me to just hug for a little while. ha. to stop my heart from sinking and sinking. alright! got to try to elevate my own mood now that my hugable friends are all not around.
Missing you all.

One Step Nearer

Yay!! My visa and bank stuff are finally done. Now the final hurdles will be the mapping, housing and itinery=) and off i'll be, on the flight to.. eh.. L.A?
haha.. the visa application was really easy. Perhaps because we are students and stuff. haha.. one funny incident.
eh. there was this group of SIA trainees at the embassy yesterday. At this counter, this ang mo ask for the passport and appointment confirmation from this girl. The girl passed him the passport.. and everything else BUT the appointment confirmation. When she finally got it right, the guy said:
Oh My god~ you are one of those.. If i ask for a beer on SIA, you would have given me a COKE=D
haha.. and everyone heard it..
Thinking if I should go to canada on the way back from USA to look at Nigeria.
Lawr seemed to be in a good mood. He helped me find the finance book, did a 'double whoa' joke and shouted into my phone when im talking to my brother. haha..
I slept for a whooping 10 hours last night! Felt that my bones were shattering. I went to sleep at 730pm. How nice. Was on leave and had to wake up at 530am to do my visa. haha. at least the sleep at night made up for it.
Funny how ZY asks the same questions as I did. Even funnier that I was asked to answer.

Pinkie^2

hmm.. went out with my dear pinkie last night. haha.. so honoured that she has set aside time for me! given her super short holidays, high popularity and busy schedule=)

Talked abit about my work, abit of hers and abit of everything else. haha.. always very comfortable with her.

1) she knew that i'll eat either mc or kfc. she was right. i asked for the latter.

2) everytime we go out together, she will always buy something when most of the time i don't. I can make her spend money. and she trust my judgement=D

She said that I can do a business helping ppl buy clothes. Ah~ the only problem - looking at how i dress, most ppl probably wouldnt trust me with their money.

3) we came to a consensus that I havent changed at all from the time she knew me (4.5yrs). haha.. i recalled how i told Prema last time that:

we should meet 10yrs down the road. And you all can see how much you all have changed, by comparing yourself with me. haha.. 'cause I won't change. Im the benchmark=D

4) she knows it when im very tired. She strangles my neck but that really quite comfy 'cause its more like a massage.

5) we live on the same 'train-line'. There's always company for going home=)

BUT girl, I know you are having an interesting and cool life out there, still gotta make some time for your cute little jc friends yea. And remember that the streets are not always safe! Look after your belongings. For one. It is safe only when you can see him. Walk slower to lag behind him! Doctors need to be street smart too!
See you in the Science lib!!

DADDY~~ =D

Today is father's day=)
Daddy~ Happy Papa Day!!
heh. used to remember how my dad like to sing this song to me:

榕树下

路边一棵榕树下

是我怀念的地方

晴朗的天空

凉爽的风

还有醉人的绿草香

和你绕过小路弯弯

情人山坡看斜阳

晚霞照上你的脸

情话绵绵说不完

啊~~你可想起榕树下

可曾想起绿草香

路边一棵榕树下

是我见你的地方

甜美的笑容亲切的话

还有默默的情意长

你曾陪我流涟春光

轻轻细诉心中怨

记得春天已过去

只是旧事不能忘

啊~~你可想起榕树下

可曾想起绿草香

路边一棵榕树下

是我怀念的地方

晴朗的天空

凉爽的风

还有醉人的绿草香

和你绕过小路弯弯

情人山坡看斜阳

晚霞照上你的脸

情话绵绵说不完

啊~~你可想起榕树下

可曾想起绿草香

Daddy, I love you!! =D

I have 2 scares in a day and together with my super trustworthy body alarm, I slept a total of only 5 hours. Especially when I have plans to spent my time dreaming. haha.. weird msn conversation. haha.. maybe the same guy. haha..
Anyway, my mood was pretty lousy. Still is. But improving. Thanks for listening. The 2 of you will know who you are. haha..
Glad, luckily our gut feelings are quite similar. I'm weird I guess *hugs*

Thump

I have a weak heart. Do NOT scare me.

Aside from that... been a few rather pleasant days at work. Even though my colleague is back from HK and I cannot slack so blatantly, but ha... getting more and more food from all my colleagues! I was saying that I thought kiwi are green. My manager bought a yellow kiwi each for me and yf to show it to us. haha..
eh. And I couldnt be more grateful to SL!!! haha.. meh. first time im so so so grateful ok?! thanks for prompting me on msn. thank you even more that your dad is who im looking for! I was so happy when i heard of that. haha.. even though business is business, but at least, for now, i dun have to keep flipping the yellow pages. I owe you another bowl of tau suan! Best Buddy!~
hmm.. went out with ks, lawr and yf yesterday and met glad with her fren at vivo carls junior. haha.. put a few chem engineers together and what do they talk about? WORK~ haha.. luckily i dragged yf along. 'cause I hate to talk about work. Anw, lawr, get over it la. so many months liao. haha.. and if its any consolation, at least ai yun will be 21 by the time we go over. And I think she drinks. haha.. so its 2 who don't drive, 1 who 未成年, 1 who don't drink and 1 who wants to study. Not that bad yea. At least, other than driving, you'll always have company=p
By the way, before I forget again, a song that I like from dance class:
doo doo doobidoobidooX3
doobidoobidoobidoobidoo~=D

Implications

Yesterday was a happy day. For one, I couldnt stop smiling at my phone over the funny conversation that I was having over sms. hee. If we compile all our conversations so far, it'll be the best selling joke book!
'I can't slp' and how it became a suaning session. haha.. the 100 ways girls twist and turn people's words. Everything is full of implications.
Went out for dinner again yesterday just because my friend asked me to treat for entertaining me.
I said: ok. i'll treat u tau suan.
ok set. lets meet tonight for tau suan.
!!! *spontaneity to the maximum*
A few serious conversations masked under the jokes and laughters.
I asked: Do you think you know more about your friends or do your friends know more about you?
Counter-question: What is my favourite colour?
*stunned*
Well, I guess.. Superficiality between new friends is unavoidable but I hope we have far surpassed that stage. At least you were very HONEST with everything you said=)
Jokes aside, I seriously think you are very capable of enjoying life and taking responsibility over your life. Regardless of whether there is anyone who outshines you on the first account. Just like how I came to talk to you. It took... I don't know how long.. a year?
heh. And even though I cant remember the first conversation that we had, I certainly remembered many others. haha.. oops. But confession first. I cant even remember when was the first time we went out. haha.. seriously, but i do remember the most recent one. haha.. that have to be good enough!
*maybe u would care to enlighten me?*
师兄, whatever we said yesterday is between the two of us yea. If anything leaks out, i'll make sure that there is more than one opening to the well. haha.. this is outright-daylight-threatening=D
Regarding your little niche that you were saying, you know what, you are by far the easiest person that I have known to talk to. Conversations. Feel for your friends. Openness. Secrecy when required. There are plenty that makes you better. You just got to make them realise.

PAH'08

Did a really meaningful thing on Sunday.. Paint a Home 08=)
This year, we went to Jamiyah Children's Home. The kids are very lively, sometimes playful and I think they think Im dumb or something. Because they keep cheating me of my feelings. This kid told me his name is Taufik. I have been calling him exactly that for the WHOLE MORNING. AND THEN, just before lunch, he said: What did you call me?
I said: Taufik.
He said: NO~ Taufik is another boy. My name is Shauky.
*confused*
The other kids, thinking its SO funny that I was confused, all decided to cheat me. At the end of the day, I was STILL CONFUSED.
I asked Taufik, later known as Tom, how to say 'I am bored' in Malay.
He said: saya rasa GEMUK!
and 'I am happy'?
: saya rasa kurus.
hmm.. HMM...
GEMUK, for your information, means FAT. and kurus is the opposite.
He asked me to repeat after him. I DIDNT. heh. I knew he was CHEATING ON ME. I just didnt know what and when.
Painting was tiring but fulfiling business. The kids helped. Especially Ramadah. He has been very helpful with climbing ladders and painting high up objects. haha.. AND he was an absoulte giveaway whenever Taufik cheats my feelings. Because he LAUGHS too easily. so its his fault.
They are so cheerful even though life has not exactly been kind to them. I hope that they'll grow up well and when I start working, I'll make sure I buy new furnitures for them and repair the lights and the toilets!
Wait till I upload the photos of the rooms! They are damn COOL now! haha.. Jian Cheng asked if we (glad and I) are the gek gao kind cos we seem to want to touch up on everything. haha.. yay! show u guys the cool pics soon=D

From my room:

From other volunteer's rooms:

Norton Brokedown

Tonsillitis. Influenza. Sinusitis. AND my brother passed the bug to me!! No wonder he is feeling so much better already. Here I am, doing some sort of self-quarantine at work because I'll feel REALLY guilty if my colleagues get it from me! One has competition, performance and dance trainings to see to. Another is flying to HongKong tomorrow morning. Im just being considerate.
Anyway, whenever I catch any form of bug, my brain just heartlessly abandon me. I have stoned to the extent that my superb short-term-photocopy memory is in the drain. I just stared during dance class 2days ago when I couldnt remember what I learnt 1min ago. And after that, spent so much energy in making myself remember that I felt so shag.
No energy to talk, no energy to laugh.
2 panadol cold last night made me hallucinate that today is a sunday. That was what my brain was telling me at 5am this morning. I was all ready to sleep in when I recalled the dread I felt yesterday at having to go to work the next day. My body clock never fails to impress me. I woke up 1 second before the alarm sounded.
Will drown myself with water and I hope/wish/pray that no one will catch the virus from me!!

~A song to sing

Its so weird. I have been having dreams quite regularly.hmm.. and if i say 4 of it involves this same face? haha.. I can write a novel soon. At the rate that im dreaming and the weird twist here and there.
hmm.. so moving on to my 4th dream=)
Its a setting from the ancient times. Erm. you can call it 古装 if you want=D
There is this person who ditched this girl after his old lover came back. And when she left, he suddenly realised that it felt so wrong. AND the weird thing is:
she left on a SMRT train!! Remember? i said 古装!! haha.. the scene was more or less like those old chinese houses. Rich kid and all that. haha.. and no. I wasnt watching any swordsfighting show before I slept.
My third dream about my safety issue about how I was with this person, going for a lesson in school. This person went to the toilet and I just wondered about looking for the classroom. I got lost and ahead of me, was a road, with cemetry on both sides. But just as I decide to just walk along the road, the cemetry seemed to grow longer still. Its like it went on forever. I decided to turn back. But some force was pulling me backwards. I stretch out my hand and grabbed my BOLSTER and kinda teleported back to my own bed. haha.. abit like Harry Potter right? the keyport thing.. Cedric and all that=)
The Second dream was just a pleasant dream where I transformed into a very elegant person and won this competition with a partner (the same person).
The first was in a school, that holds students from primary school to university. We had an assembly where we were supposed to read our own storybooks(sounds familiar?). University students were given the authority to patrol the place. I was trying to get away from this person. But this person was following me. Like keeping constant distance behind me. hmm.. and then, at the primary school section, this kid was crying. I was consoling the kid and just when the person is going to catch up with me, I woke up.
haha.. either im very imaginative or im very creative.
Im amused by myself.

TKD'08

Im dead beat. haha.. all of my own doing.
Finally went back to TJ again after like a few months? haha.. i loved the environment there and realise that I still do. Despite many changes to their infrastructure and everything looking so much more modernised. Its still a school that held so many memories.
Its the TJC TKD June Camp again. Looking back, i marvelled at how things change. TKD June Camp used to be a discipline camp. Meaning, those seniors in army will come back and organise the camp and put in place trainings that left us.. eh.. bleeding and aching.. (Im not joking. Most of us were bleeding. Took a couple of months for the scars to disappear) But also, it left us not only with a stronger physique, but also tougher mental strength, closer team bonding and stringent discipline.
It is funny, now that I look back and recall how year ones (at my time) absolutely feared the camp. Having heard horror stories from the seniors and having to go through all of that. My cohort turned out to be the last to experience the actual FINALE item and to undergo two years of discipline camps.
Having transformed into a fun camp, its nice to see all the happy and innocent faces on the juniors face, listening to them cheer and laugh as the other groups perform their skids.
My friend commented: if we wear our uniform, we can just mix among them without being detected.
Not true, i thought. How different all of us felt now. How much older we have grown. How our minds could no longer think in such a simple, uncomplicated manner. How we may suspect other people's motives.
Or how ugly we may have became, relative to their angelic faces.
Their smiles had been so trusting.

The less emo parts:
the gate was locked! haha.. my friend called.
我问你一个很严重的问题。你今天有没有穿裙子。
And phew~ they got the key to the gate! I seriously don't like to climb gates. Only did it once in my life at a community centre. And that was because we were all left with no choice and also that the gate was a relatively simple one. Im sure if i climbed yesterday, i'll be left with one less finger or something along that line. Not a very fun notion huh?

The girls were mostly late, coming from work/internships and all that. The benches were filled.
I told sl: Be a man, do the right thing.
He stood up.
10 seconds later, 2 guys on the bench from the junior cohort stood up as well!
i was like:oops.
Don't they understand that im just trying to poke fun at a friend. haha.. but thanks for the seats though=p

Kelvin Sir is only 24years old. Seriously. Isnt he supposed to be like.. at least 27 or 28 or something like that. haha.. oops. im sorry=D

Thanks Mdm for sending me to boon keng! haha.. if not I wouldnt be able to reach home so early=)

And last but not least, I'll find a chance to kick the targets! Miss the feeling of whacking them=)
