~*angie's lil reverie*~

I'm a devastated fan

No matter how much many soccer fans may hate chelsea, you just got to admit that they are just freaking good. The players are good individually, and most importantly, their team work and coodination is superb. Think of it this way, no matter how good the team players are good individually, the team will not be able to perform without team work.

I guess that's the reason why my boss says that he doesn't need a SUPERSTAR in his branch, he just needs team work from all of us.

Happy Birthday to Huiqing

Yeah! It's huiqing's birthday today! Haha.

We had a great celebration at DBL O for this birthday girl last night. But, it's quite sad that it's her birthday yet she had to order the drinks herself and get herself drunk last night. Sometimes I wonder why is it that we guys simply love to torture the birthday girl/boy. It's their special day, yet we have to make them drunk. Getting drunk is bad. Personally, I will not want to be drunk on my birthday.

Anyway, we had a special guest last night and it's Wuyi. I was totally so shocked to see him last night as he was supposed to be in US. Apparently, he came back to settle his VISA thingy. It's a nice surprise to see him after all.

And so, it was a wild night. I guess everybody had their own share of fun. The only thing was it could be better if the stupid management could at least reserve some sofa seats for us. At the end of the night, our birthday girl was very drunk. As for me, I was feeling quite okay as I didn't drink much.

We left DBL O around 1+ and when I got home, I was dead tired. In fact, I'm feeling very sleepy as I'm typing this entry. I guess I would just take a nap and wake up in time to watch the crucial match (Chelsea VS Man Utd) later.

All in all, it was a fun night! Once again, Happy Birthday to Huiqing. May all your wishes come true!

Pretty Birthday Girl & Me + 2 miscellaneous guys behind

Celene, Me & HQ

Anyway, my boss was commenting that both Jo and I are two extreme people. He was hoping that Jo would corrupt me while I would angelize Jo so that we would be 2 perfect people. And we would be the perfect Angelina Jolie. Lame, isn't it? Haha.

Angelina Jolie!

Happy Birthday to Ailing

It's Ailing's birthday today! Let's wish her Happy Birthday!

As it's Ailing's birthday and she is on leave today, a few of us decided to go to Punggol Park's Pub to chill out last night. As Boss and Ailing did not have their dinner as yet, we ordered quite a lot of finger food and a bottle of red wine. The finger food is quite nice actually, that's why though I was quite full from my not-so-happy dinner at Delifrance, I ate quite a lot. As usual, I ate my chicken wings and it was good! I guess I can never quit eating chicken wings as I am far too addicted to them. Haha. The cross-cut cheddar fries were just as good while the sotong balls were just very sotong balls. Nothing spectacular about the sotong balls.

I seriously think that I prefer hard liquor to red wine, but prefer red wine to white wine and most importantly, I prefer anything to beer. And the worst thing is to mix them all. I have never tried that before, but I guess I would definitely puke if I drink them together.

All of them were trying very hard to enlighten me about relationships. It's kinda weird that we can talk about this kind of topic with my colleagues, esp my boss. It's weird, isn't it? We really talked about a lot of nonsense... All in all, it was a good talk to dig out secrets. Haha.

So, after a long talk with them, I start to wonder... which is better? To be a player or to be played?

Hmm...

------

I just subscribed to SCV and they would install the box at my place tonight! I'm so happy. For now, I can watch soccer at home and when I have nothing better to do, I can watch SCV rather than watching those boring shows on my local channels!

And ya, I would be going DBL O tonight. It's to celebrate Ms Sim's birthday. Haha. Just hope that she will not be too drunk tonight though I guess it's quite unlikely she can stay sober given that all the crazy drinkers would be going DBL O tonight. Good luck, Ms Sim.

JP Morgan Corporate Challenge Race

I just came back from JP Morgan Corporate Challenge Race. And I have one good news and one bad news for you guys. The good news was - I'm back home in one piece and the bad news was -I'm feeling very tired after the race. All in all, it was a great race though it was drizzling at the beginning of the race. I felt really great after running the race. Though my timing was not fantastic, what's important was I finished the race. Heehee.

Anyway, if I'm joining the race again next year, I would definitely train hard for it so that I could achieve a better timing. Cheers to Celene and Ray who had finished the race with me. It was great, right? We guys should start cultivating a healthy lifestyle so that we all can be hunks and babes soon enough. Haha.

Here is a photo of my Singlet. It's quite a nice jersey, isn't it? But, I just find that it's a bit too small for me.

I think I need a good rest tonight. Though I am feeling kinda hungry right now. Argh.

------

Anyway, my boss scolded me for 20mins before I left for the race. I had nothing to say to him. I just looked at the floor most of the time, trying very hard to stop my tears from flowing out. I didn't cry but I felt sad when I left the office. I was just like a bad kid who left home after incurring my parent's wrath. Hai. I deserve to be scolded and I am not angry at my boss for scolding me. As compared to my peers, I am really very fortunate to have such a good boss. So, why am I not doing him proud? Sigh.

May is coming, and I must be very focused this month. I must think of my goal for May and work towards it.

Confused II

April is coming to an end. For the whole month, I have been floating and being out of sorts. It's like I have no idea what am I doing and what I really want.

I really hate myself for behaving like that.

I'm going to be 23. Why is it that I still can't find a direction in life? What's the problem with me? Everybody around me has been giving me advice, but ultimately, I am the one who has to decide for myself.

It's my life, afterall.

Healthy Lifestyle

I couldn't sleep until 4am last night. I was basically tossing around on my bed. Don't ask me, I had no idea why I just can't get to sleep though I was feeling real tired.

Despite me not sleeping enough, I woke up at 9am to meet Celene and her sister at East Coast Park. And you won't believe it, I'm going rollerblading again! This time round, I think I had improved as compared to the previous time! I fell down less often and I was more confident. However, it still scared me when I was going down slope as I had no idea how to brake. I always try to brake by bending down. Super unglam right? That's why I prefer to go rollerblading on weekdays in which I know that the chances of meeting my friends here is slim.

Anyway, we met Kelvin while resting at the hawker centre. He's doing very well in DBS and he seems to be so happy. Is the grass really greener on the other pasture? He was telling me that he could easily hit target every month and getting commission was not a problem. And most importantly, he goes home at 43o every day. WTH. This is what I called to be good life man. Whatever it is, I am really happy for him and hope that the next time when I see him on the streets, I could tell him that I'm doing very well in my career.

After rollerblading, we were dead tired. I could hardly walk man. Haha. And Celene drove us to Parkway Parade to eat the famous Tom Yam Steamboat. It was a happy lunch though I ate until I was VERY FULL. So full that I hardly could walk. And it's making me quite sick with flu and sore throat. haha.

All in all, it was a fulfilling off day! =p

Anyway, I would be going for JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge tomorrow evening. Hopefully, I would come back safely in one piece. Haha.

Take The Lead

My boss has been bugging me to watch the movie, Take The Lead to get inspired. And so, I had finally watched it today.

Inspired by a true story, Antonio Banderas stars as internationally acclaimed ballroom dancer Pierre Dulane in the family drama Take The Lead. The film revolves around a professional dancer who volunteers to teach in the New York City public school system. But when his classic methods clash with his students' hip hop instincts, he teams up with them to create a new style of dance and becomes their mentor in the process. Take The Lead co-stars Alfre Woodard and marks the feature directing debut of veteran music video helmer Liz Friedlander.

The show is kinda inspiring as there are some quotes in the movie which apply to me. Maybe, that's the main reason why my boss actually asks me to watch this movie. Anyway, the hip hops songs in the movie are damn happening. It makes me wanna dance. haha.

Anyway, I went to IKEA today, hoping to buy a new bed. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to find a bed that I like. There's a single bed which is quite cheap and nice. But I just find it a bit too small as I am looking for either a super single bed or queen size bed. Nevertheless, I managed to eat my favourite swedish meatballs and fried chicken wings! Heehee. This is what I call to be Happy Food.

It's Monday tomorrow and I believe it's going to be a good week ahead! Yeah!

A trip to Geylang

Why is that all taxi drivers would think of funny ideas whenever you tell them that you're going Geylang? Hmm... I had a really bad experience yesterday. The taxi driver was asking me so many weird questions throughout the whole trip that I felt real uncomfortable. Just in case you are also wondering why on earth would I go to Geylang? I went there just to eat my tian ji zou. I think I am getting addicted to that. It's really very nice and I like those that are really SPICY. If I have the time, I would want to try all the tian ji zou at Geylang! Haha. So, do remember to jio me to eat tian ji zou if any of you want to go Geylang to eat, ya?

After dinner, I had a very healthy KTV session with my course mates last night. All I drank for the whole night was just Iced Honey. Amazing right? haha. I think I could only have healthy KTV session with my uni or secondary school friends. If not, most of the time, I would be drinking hard liquor with my colleagues at KTV.

It was really nice singing KTV with them. Both of them can sing well though I think Shixing was a bit off form as he was very tired. He sang with no energy. Nevertheless, I was really happy to see him! He just has this amazing ability to make my laugh no matter how bad my day had been. Anyway, it was my first time singing KTV with Beng Chuan and I think he has a really nice voice. He really sings with passion and feeling. I would be contented enough to hear them sing the songs that I like... especially those new songs.

The Guys - Beng Chuan & Shixing

Celene & Me

------

Anyway, I basically worked all the way from morning until late at night today. And I was feeling really tired! I'm so tired that I just want to go home after the megaevent. But, I was hungry so I went Joo Chiat to eat some famous Cantonese food. I think I have put on a lot of weight ever since my new boss had came to my branch as he always brings us to eat nice food. All in all, it was a very satisfying dinner again.

It's Sunday tomorrow and I don't have to work! Hooray! It's rare that I don't have to work on Sunday, so I guess I'm going to make it to be a fulfilling one. =p

I've been banished

And so I have been banished to some ulu branch again. Though Celene asks me to go there with an open mind, I really find it hard to do so. First of all, somehow or rather, I'll always have headache whenever I am there. Second of all, it's really quite boring here and most of the time, you just keep helping customers to change passbooks. Thirdly, whenever I am not in branch, a lot of my customers would be looking for me at Compass Point. Last of all, I miss my colleagues in branch.

Sigh.

Where is my port?

We are just like ships floating in the ocean. Throughout our life, we will travel to different ports, but ultimately, there will be one port in which we will anchor for life. I just want to look for a strong and lasting port that will always be there for me no matter how stormy the weather is.

I'll be ok - Amanda Marshall

It's time to let ya go
It's time to say good-bye
There's no more excuses
No more tears to cry
There's been so many changes
I was so confused
All along you were the one
All the time I never knew

I want ya to be happy
You're my best friend
But its so hard to let ya go now
What could have been
I'll always have the memories
She'll always have you
Fate has a way of changing
Just when you don't want it to

Throw away the chains
Let love fly away
Till love comes again
I'll be okay

Life passes so quickly
Ya gotta take the time
You'll miss what really matters
You'll miss all the signs
I've spent my life searchin
For what was always there
Sometimes it will be too late
Sometimes it wont be fair

Throw away the chains
Let love fly away
Till love comes again
I'll be okay

I wont give up
I wont give in
I can't recreated
Just what might have been
I know that my heart
Will find love again
Now is the time to begin

Throw away the chains
Let love fly away
Till love comes again
I'll be okayI'll be okay
I'll be okay

Can't hold on forever baby,
Can't hold on forever baby,
Can't hold on forever baby,
I'll be okay

Boss

My boss and I were taking bus 80 together when out of sudden, my boss suggested to go to Hougang Plaza there to eat the famous western food. As it was so last minute decision, we rushed to alight from the bus.

And so, it's only my boss and me. We had a one-to-one talk. We basically talked about life, work and even relationships. It's really amazing that I could actually talk about relationships with my boss. In a way, I really feel comfortable confiding to him. The thing about my boss is, you can talk to him about anything. I really like my boss as it's very easy to talk to him. He is one who will listen to you and give you valuable advice and comments. And I really value his advice and comments. In a way, he has helped to untie the knot in my heart. He has his serious and fun side. At times, he will joke around and even give funny ideas. Well, you can only see this fun side of him working under him. All in all, it's really great talking to him.

He is such a great boss and I am really thankful to him for having so much faith in me. Boss, I really hope that one day, I will be able to bring pride and glory to you. And boss, I am not GONG GONG! haha.

I hope it's just a bad dream

I didn't sleep well at all.

I woke up from a bad dream in the middle of the night and I couldn't get back to sleep anymore. The dream was something which I have been thinking about all this while. It worries me as I am afraid that what has happened in the dream will materialize and be reality eventually. And the thing is, I'm not sure if I can accept the reality. Sigh.

------

Anyway, I met up with my favourite roomie (or in fact she's my only roomie) - adeline last night! It was really great meeting up with her as I have not seen her for quite some time. We updated each other of our working life and shared insights on some matters. Ade, remember that if you ever need to talk to somebody, I'm always a phone call away k? =p

I hate rainy days

It's raining...

Did I mention that I hate raining days? Sigh. It just gives me a very depressed feeling and I can't help but to feel lonely. At this moment, I just need somebody to give me a warm hug, telling me that everything is okay.

I seriously hope that the rain will stop soon so that I can still go jogging in the evening.

Note: One of my friend commented that I should add something to my wishlist. Go and check it out. Haha.

Relaxing @ home

I just came back from holiday and I'm taking off today. It's not that I'm tired or what, it's just that I see no point for me to go office as the branch would be over-crowded with staff. Most of the time, whenever I go back office on Tuesday, I would feel very extra as my colleagues are expecting me to take off. So, I decided not to go to work today.

I have nothing in mind of what I want to do. But, I guess if I can find my vouchers, I may just go for free facial treatment or spa. If not, worse come to worst, I can spend the whole afternoon packing my messy wardrobe and table. The truth is, I really miss my home. Ever since I have started working, I hardly spend time at home and I really treasure those times spent at home. I mean it. I miss those times in which I would just rot at home, reading story book, watching vcds or just surfing net for the whole day. Those are simple things which you can do that will make you happy actually.

Anyway, I went for a jog last night. It was a great jog. After the jog, it makes me realize how much I enjoy jogging. Yes, I've decided to quit drinking and just jog on a regular basis. And I mean it this time round. I'm going to be fit and skinny angie.

I know I've said it several times. But, believe me, I am quite determined this time round.

Redang

Find this scenery to be familar?

It's Redang!

Well, I just came back from redang last night at 2am. It was a totally a relaxing and great trip. The Sun, The Beach & No Stress. All I did there was sleep, eat, suntan, and just relax.

It's really a very beautiful island. When I reached the island, I was totally astounded by the beauty of it. I'm serious. It's really that beautiful. I nearly got the urge to quit my job and just work there as a tour guide. Anyway, I love the people there as well. All of them were very friendly and most importantly, I can sense that they have a strong passion for their job. It's so amazing man. They may be working long hours, yet they seem to enjoy what they are doing. How fantastic it is, isn't it?

Anyway, the island is damn happening. At night, they would set up a stage for clubbing. They would play those happening music like MOS and some of the tourists would just dance at the stage. As for me, I chose to hold my personal concert at the KTV room. Haha. And I was watching EPL for 2 nights running. Haha.

Happy me posing with the scenery behind me

How nice it is to lie on these beach chairs and just relax... In fact, I was taking a short nap at one of those hanging hammocks in the afternoon. It's just so relaxing.

All in all, it was a great trip though I really hated the travelling part. Can you imagine I was on the bus for full 15hrs due to the stupid jam when I came back? I nearly died on the bus. And the food there sux.

Bye Redang. I'll be back again. And next time, I would go Redang for diving trip.

Goodbye Min

Min had finally tendered and it was her last day yesterday. We would have wanted to spend more time with her on her last day, unfortunately, she had too many things to do that we didn't get to talk to her until evening time.

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, Min is definitely one of the best SAs any branch could have. She's not only good in tagging customers, her banking knowledge is super impressive. You can ask her any questions, and she can give you the answers within minutes. She is really that good. When I first came to Compass Point, I was already impressed with her as she seems to know EVERYTHING. Moreover, she takes good care of our register. In fact, I guess all of us are so dependent on her that life is going to be so different without her.

After so many mths in Compass Point, I have started to establish friendship with her. Yet, she has to leave now. Farewell is always sad. I told her I'm going to miss those days in which we would fool around (when branch is closed) and laugh at our stupid jokes. Maybe she is also a 83 baby, that's why there are some jokes in which only the 2 of us find it funny. And whenever I see the words, PASIR PANJANG, I would remember the secret joke between the 2 of us. Haha.

The Three Babes who always create havoc in Compass Point. Now, there will only be me and jo.

The girls!

The 83 babies trying to act cute. haha.

When Min wrote us an email in the afternoon, I was already tearing. Thanks for believing in me and being such a fun friend all this while.

Last of all, Min, all the best in your new career. Do come back and visit us as and when you are free. We'll welcome you anytime, anyday.

Headache!

I'm having a bad headache! It's driving my crazy. I slept quite early last night, so I have no idea why am I having headache? Sigh. Just hope that the headache will just subside later in the afternoon. If not, I have no idea how am I going to survive till end day.

Anyway, it was Lala's birthday on Monday! I could still remember that I was having my exams when we celebrated her birthday last year. She's officially 2yrs old now! Though she has grown older, she is still as naughty as before. She is still chasing Chinchin like nobody business and biting his fur. Sigh. When can they stay together in harmony?

Back to work now.

I'm sorry

My boss gave me a really nice dream catcher which he bought from his US trip today! He was really quite thoughtful as he actually allowed us to choose the colour that we wanted and then he would spend 1min to wrap the present for us. Very sweet right? And I'm going to hang it at the head of my bed so that all the bad dreams will go away.

Today was supposed to be my off but I went to office as I thought that I would be quite bored to stay at home anyway. But, it was a wrong choice as my branch was really quiet. Just when I wanted to go for my off, my boss told me that I had to stay in office to help him do some stuff. So, in the end, I stayed in office till branch closed. What a day.

Anyway, early in the morning, my boss was in his lala land. He was fooling around with us at the pantry room. We actually started to play around with the gifts that he had bought for us. Just like these 2 SHREKS which I like it a lot. It's very cute, isn't it? Haha.

Unfortunately, his good mood did not last long. He was fuming mad in the evening that he had a last minute meeting with us. It's all our fault. We have been really bad staff - Our attitude is bad; Our sales is bad; and we are giving him a lot of problems. Sigh.

Boss, I'm sorry.

Welcome Back Samuel

Well, I finally met up with Samuel who just came back from Australia. Limin and I were supposed to meet him for supper at Chomp Chomp. Unfortunately, when we got there, most of the stalls were closed so we decided to go to Punggol Nasi Lemak. Anyway, Samuel used to be my clubbing pal man. We used to club together like once in a week in university days when he was still in camp. And he's really a very nice guy who will always take GOOD CARE of us. He knows that we can't drink for nuts, and he will always end up buying a jug of $22 ribena just to make us more sober. Come to think of it, it's really quite dumb. Given that in DBL O, one jug of vodka ribena is only $12.

And we talked about the most in topic in town - Relationships. Three different people, three different personalities, and three different insights. And I feel enlightened. Haha. I mean it. It's like we realize that actually relationship can be very simple, it's just that girls tend to think too much and it becomes very complicated. Girls are just freaking irritating, petty and narrow-minded. Sometimes, I myself cannot stand it. Why is it that we have to behave this way? Now I can finally understand why is it that some guys simply cannot stand girls. It's all because of our irritating characteristics.

And so, I have decided to be less irritating, less petty and less narrow-minded. Haha. I know it sounds damn crap, but well, at least I bother to try. =p

Anyway, I would be going Redang this coming thursday! I'm so excited! Yeah!

Night Cycling Photos

After much difficulty, I have uploaded some of my night cycling photos using photobucket. I seriously need somebody to teach me how to resize those photos taken using my wonderful 5.0 Megapixels camera. My camera is so wonderful that each photo size is about 1MB. So, can you imagine how powerful my camera is?

Our 1st stop at Bedok Blk 85 Market

We ate the tang yuan and the famous ba chor mee. It was a light supper as most of us were still full from our dinner.

Our 2nd stop at Geylang Frog's Legs Shop

Yummy! It's very nice! I want to eat that again!

Our 5th or 6th stop at Harbourfront

Me & Jianhui. Oh man. I looked damn shagged! This photo was taken after 3 hrs plus of intensive cycling, so you can't expect me to look great, isn't it?

Our final destination back at East Coast Park

This photo was taken when we came back to ECP. It gave me a very peaceful feeling.

Can I have a Break?

My boss had a short talk with me today after work. He was asking me what has happened to me. He told me frankly that I don't seem to be as happy as before and I seem to lose the passion in the job. In other words, I'm just going through the motions when I come to work everyday.

All I can tell him is, I need a break. I really need a break. I'm confused and in fact, I have no idea what am I doing right now. I guess I seriously need a break to sort out my thoughts so that the same old happy angie would be back. Just give me some time to think it through, and I believe I'll know what exactly do I want in life.

Anyway, I went to watch Ice Age 2 today! It had been a long time since I last watched a movie. I guess the last movie which I had watched was something about Emily Rose? I can't really remember. Haha. After watching the movie, I realized that watching movie can be quite an enjoyment. So, you guys can start asking me to watch movie from now onwards...

And, it's Monday tomorrow. I can't help but to feel that my MONDAY BLUES is coming! Argh.

L.O.V.E.

Love can make you happy but oftentimes it hurts. In fact, love is only special when you give it to whom it's worth. I'm not sure if I'm growing old or what, but relationship is really getting more complicated. It's no longer as straightforward as those secondary school puppy love in which you know that you love that someone if you two are holding hands.

When it comes to love, there is no right or wrong. Is there such thing as falling in love with someone you shouldn't have? The question is, is it within your control? Loving someone that doesn't love you back is like reaching for a star. You know you'll never reach it but you just got to keep trying. If only love is that simple. You can spend million of years, trying to understand what is love, yet at the end of the day, I doubt you can fully understand it.

The most important thing in life is to love someone. The second is to have that someone love you. The third is to have the first and second to happen at the same time.

How true.

It's Really Getting Hot

The aircon in my office was spoilt for the whole day yesterday! It was freaking hot and everybody gets irritable easily. Despite me not wearing my jacket, I was perspiring like hell and I seriously think that I stink. My whole body felt so stinky and disgusting! Even the customers were not in the mood to listen to the presentations and I, myself find it very hard to focus on my presentation. It's really that HOT. It's to the extent that you could smell a strong odour when you step into the branch. From now on, I'm going to appreciate the coldness of my aircon. haha.

Anyway, I met up with Beng Chuan yesterday for a simple dinner. It's amazing that I was in the same course as him for 3yrs in NTU, yet I've only gotten to know him after graduation when he happened to pop by my branch on one fine day. I used to think that he and his gang are very boring people, but I'm so wrong! He's very crappy and very entertaining in fact. It was an enjoyable dinner indeed. So, it's a right decision to meet him for dinner. After dinner, we went to some pub at Far East Square. It's quite a cool place to chill out. We talked about a lot of things, like work, life and relationships. All in all, it's really nice chatting with him.

After that, I wanted to go to Butter Factory to take a look of the place while Beng Chuan didn't really want to go. But, I managed to drag him there though he still insisted not to go in. Stuborn guy. Actually, I expected Butter factory to be quite crowded since it was supposed to be the most 'in' clubbing place. But, I was so wrong. I had a walk around the place and I left after drinking 2 glasses of hard liquor.

It feels good to be at home so early. =p

------

Ten healthy activities I can do with my friends other than drinking:
1. Meet up for dinner
2. Have BBQ
3. Play badminton
4. Go jogging
5. Go cycling, blading at ecp
6. Mahjong session
7. Go sentosa for suntanning session
8. Watch movie
9. Coffee session
10. Worse come to worst, I can still stay in office and Teleconsult

Happenings on a Boring Wednesday

Out of the sudden, Jo was inspired (by dunno what) and she decided to prepare "Ai Xin Zao Can" for us yesterday. The sandwiches she had made were really nice and I ate 2 of that! Hopefully, she would be inspired one of these few days again and would make us wonderful breakfast again. haha. In fact, her sandwiches are just as happy as happy uncle's beehoon.

Because of this so-called heavy breakfast, all I ate for lunch was just fish soup. And it costs me $3.80 for a few slices of fish meat! It's super not worth it but I was really just too full to eat anything else. Besides, it's really getting boring to eat at Compass Point. Thinking of what to eat everyday for lunch or dinner is a problem. Anyway, Raymond happened to come to my branch for appt, but unfortunately, my BO was on leave. haha. What a waste. If not, I guess she would be happy to have lunch with him. haha. (Wonder if my BO would kill me if she sees this when she is back. Ops.)

And so, we went for cluster meeting in the evening. Anyway, my boss was damn funny. He was helping us to think of excuses if our CM were to question us for our performance. And all the excuses that he had thought of were super attitude man. He's super dare, but I just like this kind of boss. However, he told us that he feels that he's been too nice to us and it doesn't seem to work, so he may just change to DEVIL one of these days. I think I better get myself prepared. In case if he blows up any time, at least I'm mentally prepared.

For once, the cluster meeting ended quite early and I went to Pauliner to meet up with Jianhui. This guy is really super nice to accompany me. He's tired, but he bothers to meet up with me. I really appreciate that. Anyway, we happened to meet some of my sports camp seniors as well. It seems like most working adults simply love to drink. Actually, Pauliner is quite a nice place to chill out as there's live band and they play nice music. Maybe next time I should just go there to chill out. =p

And today is a whole new day. I believe it's going to be a wonderful day! Heehee.

Confused

A lot of things are going through my mind, but I just can't bring myself to post it here.

All I know is that, I am really hurt. And I know that nobody can mend this hurt, only I, myself can pull myself out of it. Seriously, I think I have been very strong on my own. This time round, I'm much stronger as compared to back in jc in which I hid at home everyday. I still go to work everyday; still attending to the customers with a smile; still eating my regular meals; and I'm still alive and kicking. The only thing is it's getting quite hard to fall asleep at night.

Back in university, I used to like this song a lot as I find this movie clip to be very touching. Thus, I would like to share it all of you out there.

Superwoman

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table,
and make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are overeasy, your toast unlikely,
all that's missing is your morning kiss that used to greet me
Now you say the juice is sour, it used to be so sweet,
and I can't help but to wonder if you're talking about me
We don't talk the way we used to talk, it's hurting so deep,
I've got my pride, I will not cry, but it's making me weak
I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down,
and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me

I fought my way through the rush hour trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner will be waiting for you
But when you get there, you just tell me you're not hungry at all,
you said you'd rather read the paper and you don't want to talk
You like to think that I'm just crazy when I say that you've changed,
I'm convinced I know the problem, you don't love me the same
You're just going through the motions and you're not being fair,
I've got my pride, I will not cry, still I can't help but care

I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me
I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me

Oooh, baby
Look into the corners of your mind,
I'll always be there for you through good and bad times,
but I can't be the superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my everlasting love if you'll return love to me
I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down and think that everything is okay
Boy I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional hugs as a token of love from you to me

Oh. If you feel it in your heart and you understand me,
stop right where you are, everybody sing along with me
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet,
but you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me
I need love, I need just your love, I'm not your superwoman

Rain

Why must it rain on Sunday?

I hate it when it rains on Sunday? It just gives me a very bad feeling and I would feel super lonely. Sigh.

Anyway, it's going to be a lonely night for me since my sis would be having bbq at her place. I can only watch Campus Superstars alone. Sigh.

Life goes on...

I have been a good girl lately. I have cut down drinking significantly and I have stopped eating chicken wings everyday!

That's an accomplishment. The next thing I should do is to start exercising regularly. Besides, I've signed up for the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge Race 2006, it won't look too good if I run half of the race and limp desperately for the rest of the race. So, I guess I should just start jogging on regular basis. On top of that, maybe I could do other sports as well, like swimming and cycling or even blading! Most importantly, doing sports really makes you forget all your worries and you will feel super good (and healthy) at the end of it.

Talking about retail therapy. I've fallen in love with this particular pair of URS shoes but I am simply too broke to buy them. Maybe if I do well for this 2 weeks, I will reward myself by buying that pair of shoes with my pathetic pay on 15th! Yeah.

Anyway, I would really like to thank my friends for being so wonderful. Thanks for all the smses and phone calls, asking me if I am okay. I am really okay. Some of my friends like Celene and George are really very sweet to insist to meet me though I assure them repeatedly that I'm fine. Thanks people. Life goes on. Like what my boss has told me once, Sadness is part of the journey to the Happy and Joyful land.

Night Cycling

I'm back from my night cycling!

I came home around 7 plus and after bathing, I concussed on my bed till 11am. Though I was really tired, I couldn't sleep anymore. After 4hrs plus of intensive night cycling, my legs are aching like hell. And I think the worst is yet to come.

Night cycling was very fun and exciting. Initially when we just started, there were a lot of cars and buses on the road, there were times in which the bus would be driving so close to you that you could feel the adrenalin rush. Naturally, you have to be very careful and have to keep a lookout for vehicles at all times. There were times in which I was daydreaming and I nearly crashed into a car.

Our first stop was Bedok Blk 85 food market. We had the famous minced meat noodles and some tang-yuan. After which, we proceed to Geylang which was a killer. There were a lot of cars and taxis which drove as if they owned the road! I was so relieved that I actually managed to make it alive at our next stop which was the frog legs' porridge stall. haha. Though I don't really eat frog legs, it was quite nice nevertheless. Some of the guys were even too full to continue cycling. haha.

We also cycled to Indoor Stadium, Esplanade and Harbourfront. After which, we actually wanted to cycle to NUS, but unfortunately, some of us were too tired and so we decided to detour back to East Coast Park. Halfway through, we stopped at SMU and we were so tired that we lied on the marble chairs and took a short nap. This really reminds me of my programmers days in which all of us would just sleep at any place during the camp especially towards the later part of the camp in which we are simply too tired.

After that, we started our journey back to ECP. All of us were cycling very fast, that's why we actually reached ECP in 40 mins time. Amazing, isn't it?

When I reached ECP, I could reach that both of my legs are trembling like hell! Anyway, I happened to meet 2 of my sports camp friends at ECP Mac as well. They claimed that they were studying there though I seriously thought that they were just merely chit chatting at Mac. Haha.

It was indeed a great night cycling experience. Credit goes to Jianhui for planning the route.

PS: I had taken quite a lot of photos, but I could only upload those photos once I have my D Drive back.

Retail Therapy

My sis accompanied me for some retail therapy. I must say that retail therapy really works. For a while, it really takes my mind off everything. Within 2hrs, here's a list of things which I have bought...

1. A full set of new Flintstone bedsheet which comes with quilt cover. It's always my dream to buy a quilt cover! haha. This will come into handy for my new bed at new home.
2. Three nice tops
3. A pair of skirts
4. A pair of 3/4 pants
5. A pair of slippers
6. Contact lens solution.

It's kinda crazy right? But, I really love all the things that I've bought! Even my sister encourages me to buy all these as well.

Anyway, of all people, I actually met 2 of my cluster's colleagues. Faint. Just hope that they will not go around spreading things about me not going for the company function. Seriously, I'm really not in the right set of mind (or mood) to go for such event.

And ya, I'm still going for the night cycling. =p
