post x'mas update

it was breakfast, church service, picture taking, bus ride, shopping, pizza, wet weather, movie, ktv, magazines, ramlee burger

.. and more shopping, more picture taking and more wet weather ..

not forgetting pasar malam

but it was a splendid x'mas
thank you

i've got myself a pair of stussy berms, a pair of g2000 pants, a pair of mango pants and a pair of jeans

.. now i want a Nokia N73 ..

déjà vu

if you think it's just a feeling, go back and look again

loving u

it's the drowsy greeting u give
.. when u give me morning-calls
it's the energetic voice u exhibit
.. when u call to disturb late at night

it's the disturbing SMSes u send
.. when everything is going smoothly
and it's the thoughtful SMSes u send
.. when everything is not going smoothly

it's the sub-standard massage u give
.. attempting to kill me when i'm already half-dead
it's the same sub-standard massage u provide
.. at times when see that my shoulders are burdened

it's the cheeky expression u show
.. trying to irritate me when u know i'm dead serious
it's the same cheeky expression u display
.. plus a lousy joke just to clear the dark clouds above my head

it's the argumentative dialogues we carry out
.. on MSN,SMS,face-to-face when we need to get a point across
it's the amusement we get
.. at a joke, a debate or simply ourselves
it's the platonic cuddle we offer
.. to comfort, console n cheer each other up
it's the quiet moments we embrace
.. when we watch the people pass by the busy streets
it's the connection we feel
.. right across the room amidst the crowd

it's the many memories we have sowed unknowingly
.. and everyday, my life is filled with loving you

while u guys are partying or rotting away in ur nests, yes, i am slogging it out at work. or at least i'm racking my brains trying to occupy myself in the dead-quiet office. trying to upload my pix but realized the computer can't read the thumbdrive, which means i can't retrieve my MP3s as well. fortunately, i've got my book n VCDs with me.. oh, plus the MP3 player TC loan to me.. thanks, bro!

oh n i just gotta mention it was Mund's bday yesterday..
many good wishes for u, bloke! i had to give the celebration a miss bcoz my Nanny banned me from the event n kicking me off the cab on the way there.. so mean, hor.. still dare to call me in the morning ah!

haha

mid week update

04.12.2006 Monday
TC was out shopping in bugis village with Maa while i was slogging away in the office.. and my dear brother finally got the clothes for his prom (pix of my handsome boy will be up soon).. on the other hand, i met up with Ds for dinner at tanjong pagar after work.

nothing happening for my last office-hour day at work 'cept for a disturbing call at 4am.
ho hum.

05.12.2006 Tuesday
shopping day in JB with Maa. loitered in Holiday Plaza after our vegetarian breakfast. disappointing place to be at with nothing but pirated VCDs/DVDs n lotsa outdated clothes. shortly after, we shifted to Jusco (about 20 minutes' drive away). more to see, but less to buy. ended up in City Square again after buying only snacks from Mister Donuts. i didn't even buy the bag i've been aiming for coz the persistent salesperson refused to drop the price below RM35. darn! so i left JB with a 6 donuts, 3 packets of ciggarettes, 2 hair bands, 1 anklet. payday happens to be 1st on the lunar calendar, which means vegetarian again n JB isn't such a good idea on vegetarian days. so there may be a change of plans afterall.

we didn't visit Ikea as planned. i had no mood to walk anymore after a rather disappointing visit to our neighbouring state.

final program of the day was meeting Ping & Ds at Dbl45 after my donut-delivery.. smoke, talk, smoke.. need i say more?

06.12.2006 Wednesday
kick-started the day with a workout at the gym with Ds (my arms are still kinda aching from it now). then auntie prepared lunch for us after washing up. i love the fried cauliflower! then i hit home to rot for awhile. my brother was scurrying around in preparation for his big night at the prom. first it was hair, then it was clothes, then chain, then perfume n finally his shoes. the bugga left home at 6.15pm when the event's supposed to start at 6pm.

dinner at home was yummy but barely filled my big appetite of late, so i was headed to Ds' place for my complimentary ice-cream treat (my secret remedy for throat infection). i also got to taste auntie's stewed pig trotters, which i have been aiming for since noon.. plus i won 50cents for eating an entire piece of ginger.. muahaha..

thereafter Ping & Ds headed to Dbl45 to meet YongHao while i had to drag my pathetic butt home so that i can have sufficient rest to wake up at 5am for my day shift.
ho hum.

blessed

11.15pm
collected Wednesday's breakfast of Choc chip & Cranberry muffins from Tampines Library on foot. apparently the deliveryman left the dope at home while making one of his routine trips. but fortunately, he was kind enough to accompany me back home by bus.

the muffins are yummy, thanx.


29.11.2006 Wednesday
santa sent a sack of thoughtful goodies before christmas. i'm sure the snacks can keep me awake at work for a good amount of time even though u sneaked away some Dove chocolate bars. muahaha.


30.11.2006 Thursday
6.30am
morning call from the person i'd last expect to be awake at that time, unless he hadn't slept the entire night (..which always happens when he goes out with someone nice.. *evil laughter*) well anyway, i wanted to hear his voice just as much..

mad rush

Friday
snacked on junk food at Tampines Mall basement after work. fried mushroom, fried chicken, Tori Q. muahaha. caught Happy Feet @ Tampines GV. show stopped after like 15minutes due to some technical error, waited for another 15minutes for the show to resume, but it never did. fatal error. darn. at 12am, we had no choice n went back to watch Thank You For Smoking on computer over a bottle of Wincarnis instead. not the type of wine for my palette but the show was not bad at all.

a debate about comparisons ended with no conclusion, as usual. the fight left me with scratched skin of my right wrist. grrr.

Saturday
pre-employment checkup @ Raffles Hospital. yeah, we were late for the appointment coz we stayed up for the movie. then jalan-ed in Bugis a little after prayers n headed back to Tampines to catch Happy Feet again with our refunded tickets (yay! no more technical problems!), then had a brief appointment n finally some rest. Ping n Drew were over at Safra for billard so dinner was delayed till 9pm. thanx hor.
herhrr.
anyway dinner at coffeeshop was good, though apparently i'm the only one enjoying the near-meatless meal.


slacked abit at Ds' place whilst Drew did some stuff online. then we decided it's Dbl45 time over smoke break so that Drew didn't have to waste his trip back. it was back to LaLaLand after leaving at 3am.

Sunday
barely sufficient sleep n i was off to JB with Maa. brunch was good. peanut butter toast with ice-cream n sunflower seeds. i love the SnowCat, which i believe is ice-blended soursop (yup, i had no idea what i was drinking, just ordered it coz it looked so cute.. pix to be uploaded soon..) then shopping, shopping, shopping! 2 pairs of shoes n 2 tops for me coz we were a little short for time. so we'll continue the REVENGE on 20th January, as planned. rushed off to Neway for KTV.. yeah, again.. that place is good, lots of new songs never seen in Singapore. u guys have gotta go soon.. with me, of coz.. don't always leave me out of ur plans hor!

headed of to Ds' place to meet up with the rest for the long-awaited match between Man U & Chelsea. quick dinner, with compliments from auntie n dozed off for awhile during the match due to my sore eye. ok la, i admit i'm plain tired n the couch was comfy..
herhrr.
anyways the match came to an end with a final score of 1-1. too bad u weren't around Ping, if not we would've celebrated at Dbl45 coz we needn't fight it out.

oh well, so much so for my short weekend.
hopefully, will get to enjoy as much next weekend with all the guys before my shift work commences. don't fly aeroplane again ah, Ping!

herhrr.


i started my day off with a mug of my favorite milo-with-milk-powder, complimentary of my CableTV supplier, shelter provider, verbal abuse receiver..

oh yeah, my bro n mommy's returning tomorrow from Taiwan..
thanx to EVERYONE who took care of me in their absence!


have a great week ahead, everyone!

problems in life

Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem.

The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity.

update

started work on Monday

my honeymoon officially ended today. fast eh? getting my hands on the job second half of the day, rushing to finish assigned tasks so that i could leave on time for my XO fish-head bee hoon. the damned menses had to make things worse.


in summary:

work sucks,
but we work.
life sucks,
but we still live.


ho hum.
