~*angie's lil reverie*~

Back in Secondary School Days...

We used to connect with our friends using pagar. We would use alpha numeric to send a message to our friends. I used to sit beside my house phone, typing millions and millions of messages to Wanlin when I could just pick up the phone and call her directly. Somehow, we just find that it's MORE FUN to send messages. I was so good that I could type one whole chain of messages accurately with my eyes closed.

We used to leave voive-mails for our friends if we needed to tell them something important. I still remember that my friends used to record all kinds of nice songs for me in the voice-mails. And I still remember that my mum would always say out her name at the end of the voice-mail thinking that if she doesn't do so, I won't be able to recognize her voice.

We used to enjoy changing the 30 seconds "welcome" song which our friends would hear when they paged for us.

Phonecard is a MUST- HAVE back in those days.

We used to love chatting in the MIRC (Is it MRIC or MRC? Or what? I can't remember what's the name of the chatroom). Sometimes, we got to know people of other classes through MIRC by going to AMKSS chatroom. It's weird that sometimes we may not know the person, yet we can talk so freely in MIRC. Or the stranger sitting beside your in the canteen during recess time could be the CUTEBOY who had been talking to you for the past few nights? In fact, one of my friend actually manages to talk to her crush in MIRC.

Nicknames like SweetiePie, CuteBoy are common nicknames you see in chatroom.

Having an internet access used to be so expensive that I could only use internet at most half an hour a day. I used to record down the amount of time I spent online, so as not to ensure that I will not exceed my internet time for the month.

We used to eat fast food on rare occasion in which we feel rich.

We used to think that carrying JPG wallets is cool. Bao is the living example of this point.

We used to find joy in chasing idols. We could spend one whole day waiting at the place where the autograph session would be held just to get a good location to see our idols.

Boybands are the most "IN" thing back then. Everybody knows who is Boyzone, Backstreet boys and A1, etc.

We used to wear Japanese socks, some even high up to our knees. The higher it is, the better it is. Yet, for now, ankle socks are "IN".

The list goes on and on...

------

Have you ever wonder how would you live your day if you know that you would only have one last day to live? Would you still live your last day just like any ordinary day?

If not, shouldn't we treat each and every as if it'sourlast day on earth?

The bottom line is, lead your life to the fullest as if it's your last day on earth.

Where is my Yong Tau Fu?

Tell you something damn crap that had happened to me during lunch.

MY BOWL OF YONG TAU FU WAS "KIDNAPPED" BY SOMEBODY!

After paying for my Yong Tau Fu, I was horrified to see that my bowl of Yong Tau Fu was GONE. Even the stallholder was puzzled.

Where did my bowl of Yong Tau Fu go to?

I looked around the canteen, trying to find potential suspects to no avail.

Either that person is too hungry or he/she simply loves to eat Yong Tau Fu so much that he/she needs to eat 2 bowls of Yong Tau Fu.

Luckily, the stall holder was nice enough to make a fresh bowl of Yong Tau Fu for me.

------

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I got to cancel my September leave. This will mean that I will have no break until October. Sigh.

I just wanna...

I was watching The Bourne Ultimatum the other day. The show was exciting, but I was so tired that I fell asleep. I just couldn't open my eyes. Haha. It was my first time falling asleep while watching a movie. This just goes to show how tired I was. I slept through the whole Sunday afternoon and slept at 11pm last night. And yet I overslept this morning. What's up with me? No wonder my friends are commenting that I am getting more and more auntie. Hmm...

Whenever I am bored or in a world of my own, I would think of the things I wanna do when I am off or on leave. And so, here is the list...

1. I just wanna go diving.

2. I just wanna go to some island and just relax. Just me, the sea, the sky and my friends. No cell phones, no internet and no work.

3. I just wanna go for a LONG LONG holiday.

4. I just wanna go BKK shopping.

5. I just wanna just spend time at bookstore. Recently, I really enjoy going to bookstore, browsing the books. I can spend hours there without feeling bored and time seems to pass faster when I am reading.

6. I just wanna pack my wardrobe and room. It has been in a mess since many years ago.

7. I just wanna go trekking again.

8. I just wanna spend time with my family.

9. I just wanna catch up with friends whom I have not seen for a long long time.

10. I just wanna sit back and think what do I want in life.

And the list just goes on and on...

There are so many things that I wanna do....

Back in NTU

I went to NTU for dance performance last night. Our aim is to support Celene who would be participating in one of the item. It feels good to go back to NTU and it seems like quite a lot of things had changed since I graduated. When I drove past my hall, I even had this urge to take a look at my ex-hostel room.

Anyway, instead of holding it in the Nanyang Auditorium, this dance performance was held in a new auditorium in the new building, School of Art, Design and Media. The building does live up to its name of being a Design school as the whole structure is indeed quite innovative and artistic. It's so artistic that we couldn't even find the carpark.

The whole performance was nice. I enjoy watching people dance. And sometimes, I secretly hope that I could dance as well. But, I know that it's kinda impossible given that I have coodination problems and I guess I am just too fat to be a dancer. I'm serious. If you look around, all the dancers look like they have starving themselves for at least 3 weeks. All of them are SO skinny.

When the concert ended, all of us went to the coffee shop near City Harvest for supper. I realize it had been a long time since I went for supper. During my hostel days, I used to eat supper every other day. And that probably explains why I gained 6-8kg ever since I stayed in hall. Haha. I had my favourite chicken wings and really nice Mee Goreng.

------

Though I do not know Ishi personally, I feel sad that he's no longer with us. As what his friends has said, all of us hope that he's happier in the other world. He will always be in our memories.

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Peh

Yesterday was definitely a special day for Terry and Wenxin!

Terry had proposed to Wenxin in the presence of all the fishes and us in the Underwater World in Sentosa when diving with her! When Terry told us about his plan on Tuesday, we were already very excited! I even dreamt that I went for their customary wedding. Haha. As were waiting outside the Underwater World, I could feel the excitement building in.

I guess Wenxin was really shocked to see all of us outside the tank when Terry and her were diving. She even signalled to Terry that she saw us. Apparently, it was unknown to her that it was planned by him for us to be there. haha.

After the proposal underwater using flash cards, Tianbao, Terry's bro and I went up to bring up the ring to the couple for the official proposal. Wenxin was very surprised and happy. It's just so sweet!

The couple with the coodinator, John

The whole proposal was really very sweet. I even teared. I guess it must be the most memorable day for Wenxin.

Congratulations to the perfect couple! =p

Happy Birthday to Weipeng!

Before the clock strikes 12, let me wish the birthday boy a BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hey dude, May all your wishes come true and be happy ALWAYS! Don't worry about getting old, as girls of all ages generally find matured man more charming! haha.

Just wanna say a big thank you to you for being such a wonderful driver who will always send us home safely! Thanks! We really appreciate it. =p You know we all love you, don't you?

------

Anyway, today is Wain's last day and he's such a sweet boy! He actually bought a big box of Marks and Spencer's HAPPY chocolates for us! He had totally brightened up our day with the chocolates! All the different kinds of chocolates are just so NICE. I wish I could eat them all. In return, we ordered Sakae Sushi for lunch as a farewell lunch for him. It was a satisfying lunch for all of us.

Sushi + Teh Peng + Subway's Cookies = A satisfying lunch

I know it's a weird combination to eat all these for my lunch, but all these are my favourite food. Hehe. I'm guess I'm quite easy to please as you can easily cheer me up wtih chocolates or fried chicken wings. Haha. That probably explains why I have a big tummy since I like to eat all these sinful food. =p

Pet Peeve

A pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that can instill great frustration in an individual.

I can't stand people who walk straight to the corner of the lift, waiting for something to happen. Are they waiting for the lift to close automatically or what?
I can't stand people who litter and I hate to see litter lying around me. I really pity those cleaners or roadsweepers who have to pick up the litter after our New Year Countdown Party or Christmas Party.
I can't stand myself. I hate myself being such a people-pleaser that there are alot of times in which I would like to say NO, but somehow, the word YES will just pop out from my mouth. When can I totally get rid this bad habit of mine?

Busy Bumble Bee

I feel weird today. And you know why? That's because I did not drink my favourite Teh Peng today! Argh. I must drink my Teh Peng tomorrow no matter what...

Anyway, ever since I came back from my trip, I have been really busy. As such, I have been sleeping much later than my usual sleeping time. =( And most importantly, I don't really get to see my parents since I am home so late almost every night. Given that I probably will be out for the whole day on Saturday and with my Marina Bay run on Sunday morning, I guess I can only spend constructive time with my family on Sunday evening. Sigh.

There are tons and tons of things on my To-Do list, but I just can't squeeze any time to do any of them. Sometimes, I wish I have more free time to myself. Sigh.

It's getting late. I guess it's time for me to catch some sleep!

Good night to all!

Emotionally High Maintenance

I was chatting with my best friend, Wanlin last night. We talked about relationship and we can't help but to agree that girls are emotionally high maintenance. No matter how independent or successful the woman is, when it comes to relationship, she is just like any ordinary girl. Once the woman is attached to a guy, she would wanna know her bf's whereabouts. Not that the woman does not trust her man, it's just that she needs to know where is he and what is he doing. Guys will probably think that girls are being insecure and irritating. But, why can't the guys understand the girls' main objective of calling them is not to check on them but it's our style of showing our concern for them? Personally, I trust my man and when I call him, it's because I miss him, definitely not because I wanna check on him or what.

A nice extract from the book, Wish You Were Here by Mike Gayle.

Tom and Andy had people to say goodbye to but I had nobody and for a brief moment I felt as if the one thing I wanted most in the world was to have someone who wanted to hear from me. Someone who would miss the fact that I was no longer here.

How true this statement is. Whenever I go for a trip, I always hope that there's someone to say goodbye to.

------

A few months ago, one of my friend stopped contacting me due to some misunderstanding. But, now, we are kinda on talking terms again. And I'm really glad that we can be friends again. =p I'm really thankful for this opportunity to break the ice between us.

Genting & KL Trip 2007

I am back from my Genting Trip!

Though I was only away for a few days, I really miss Singapore food. Somehow or rather, the food we ate there was just not to our liking. The place is kinda boring given that I am not interested in the theme park or casino, so basically we got nothing much to do there. And it does not help when all of us except Zhanhong were so poor. It's kinda funny that we would always count our money before deciding where to eat as we have limited funds. Haha. It's really embarrassing given that all of us are working adults... Are we really that poor? Haha.

Anyway, I truly enjoyed myself. Like what Terry had said, despite being at such a boring place, the wonderful companion kinda make up for everything – We had Yuxiu, the organizer who took care of everything; Limin, the decision maker; Weipeng, the joker; Zhanhong, the Sugar Daddy and Terry, the guy with all the innovative ideas . We definitely had fun and lots of laughter from this trip. We even had a heart to heart talk which definitely has brought all of us closer. We can share our views, beliefs and even experiences freely as we know that we will not judge one another no matter what we had said or done. I can just be myself, the REAL me. I'm really lucky to have friends like them.

The place where we stayed for the past few nights

One of the few photos we took at First World

The happy guys with their tickets to WU BAI & Chinablue concert. They were happily watching the concert while the girls were chatting in the hotel room.

The place where we shared our beliefs, views and experiences...

Me with my best friends, Limin and Yuxiu

As we had nothing to do in Genting, we decided to take a cab to Times Square in KL. The journey only took about an hour, so I would recommend you guys to take a taxi to KL if you have nothing to do in Genting too! We were lucky to meet a friendly taxi-driver who charged us a lower price and he was very helpful as he volunteered to fetch us back to Genting at night!

Me with Limin in the taxi to KL

And we actually went to sing KTV at Neway!

Our KTV room Room 33

After the KTV, we decided to go KLCC. With the instructions given by the helpful staff at the information counter, we made our way to KLCC by train!

Twin Towers @ KLCC

My favourite dish from Madam Kwan's. It's definitely one of the best meals I had over the past few days in KL.

And soon, it's time for us to go back home...

Our Coach back home - 6666

This photo is actually a self-take photo. Terry has managed to break the record by taking this photo with 6 of us in it!

All in all, it was a great trip with wonderful company.

Guys Vs Girls

Guys will never understand why is it that girls will continue to buy more and more clothes when her wardrobe is already exploding.

Guys will never understand why is it that girls can look at her wardrobe full of clothes and start asking,"I don't know what to wear."

Guys will never understand why is it that it's okay for girls to have close guy friends, yet the girls will make a big fuss if the guy has any close GIRL FRIEND.

Guys will never understand why is it that girls need to have lots and lots of pairs of different kinds of shoes to match different attire.

Guys will never understand how is it like to go through that particular period of the month.

Guys will never understand why is it that girls simply like to gossip and bitch about people they know.

Guys will never understand why is it that girls simply can talk non-stop without any full stop.

Guys will never understand why is it that girls are willing to spend money to do medicure and pedicure when to them, it's just painting of nails.

Guys will never understand why is it that girls are willing to spend a few thousands dollars to buy LV or GUCCI bags.

In short, guys can never fully understand girls, just like girls can never understand guys. We are just different.

Who are these people?

I was looking through my old photos and I had made a great discovery!

Taken just before graduation in 2005.

This photo was taken during my CSM Training last year in 2006.

The lastest photo of me in professional attire in 2007.

After looking at these photos, I start to wonder whether the girl in these 3 photos is the same person.

I'm really getting old...

Somebody just commented that I have aged a lot over the past few months...

Oh well, sad to say, but I myself realize that I seem to have aged a lot over the past one year. Is it my job? Or is it true that women at mid twenties tend to age very fast? As I compare my current photos with those photos I had taken just before graduation, I guess I look kinda different. I used to look innocent, cheerful, and my eyes used to sparkle with hope and passion in those photos. What has happened?

I guess age is really catching up on me. When I started working as a pfc, I could go partying 3 times a week. But now, if I were to go clubbing ONCE a week, I would be a zombie the very next day and I probably will need one week to recover. In fact, I hardly go clubbing nowadays as I tend to sleep by 11pm every night. Sometimes, I even sleep at 10pm. Some of my friends say that I'm crazy to sleep so early, but seriously, other than days on which I have to attend lessons, I would prefer to sleep at 10pm. And the weird thing is, once I miss my usual sleeping time @ 10pm or 11pm, I will have difficulty to sleep. So what am I trying to say here is, I guess I need to sleep early.

And the reason why am I still awake at this time is because, I'm off tomorrow. Haha.

A Short Break

Work has been really stressful lately. I feel so stressed and down at times. Sometimes, I just feel that I am just not good enough for the job. No matter how hard I try, it's just not enough. Sigh. Am I expecting too much from myself? Or I simply have not tried hard enough? Or am I just incompetent?

Anyway, I have been looking forward to my short break this weekend. However, I guess I still got to go back office tomorrow as my BO is on MC. Sigh. I can forget about all my plans for tomorrow since I doubt I got the time to do anything.

I was asking my mum how much money should I bring to Genting? Then my brother simply replied," Just bring 150 ringgits and win all the money at the Casino to spend."

How nice if it's really that easy. Haha. But then again, who knows I may really be a millionaire when I come back on Monday night? Keke.

We shall see.

Well-spent weekend

I had a relaxing day at JB yesterday. My sister and I spent the whole afternoon doing medicure and pedicure spa. And we ended our day with a sumptious dinner. By the time we reached Singapore, it's already midnight and I was dead tired. I collapsed on my bed after having a good bath.

As for today, I am happy rotting and relaxing at home.

Anyway, one of my dear friend can't make it for the genting trip. Anybody interested to go Genting with a group of funky, young and nice people this coming weekend? If you are interested, do give me a call ya?

Happy Birthday to Singapore!

It's National Day! It's a pity that I couldn't watch the National Parade today! As a participant of the parade, my sis was given that National Day goodie bag! All the goodies were damn good! If only she could get one for me too... Anyway, if you haven watch the NDP preview, I would strongly urge all of you to watch the parade on TV today. It's really good though I must say watching at home cannot be compared to watching it live. =p

Happy National Day to all!

It's time to study... YAWN.

I have a short exam on Friday, but somehow, I'm just so lazy to read my notes. Sigh. I probably must force myself to go through the notes by Friday as I can't imagine how humilating it is to fail the exam...

I'm feeling so sleepy despite it's only 9pm. Maybe by end of this year, I may actually go to bed at 9pm instead of 10pm... Who knows?

When can I have a long long break?

My leave in September has been reduced to 2 or even 1.5 days. Sigh. I really wanna have a break from work. It seems so difficult to have break nowadays. I think this is madness. When I was doing relief, I hardly have leave for myself. But now, it's still the same. Sigh. Now I am worried that I can't clear my block leave by end of this year. And the worst thing is I can't even clear my leave which I had brought forward from last year or my off days... ARGH!

An entry before the start of a new week...

Yeah! My favourite player, Giggs had just scored a goal! Woohoo! Yeah! I simply love him!

It's a match between Chelsea and Man Utd. Given that EPL is starting in a week's time, both teams are determined to win this match to boast the team's morale. And naturally, I would want Man Utd to win especially when we lost to them in FA Cup Finals. We MUST WIN! My friend always says that I am a jinx. Maybe if I don't watch the match, the probability of Man Utd wining the match will be higher? Hmm...

------

Just wanna share some interesting concepts which I had learnt from my course...

Communication is very important in our daily life.

Effective communication is like using a telephone, you have to use the correct numbers and dial them in the correct order to get through to the right person.

Don't you realize misunderstandings always arise due to miscommunication, non-communication or even negative communication?

But seriously, communication is not that difficult.

If effective communication can prevent conflicts, misunderstandings and enhance relationships, shouldn't all of us pay attention to communication?

Chelsea just scored. Argh... I think I am really a jinx. :(

Congratulations to Brother Greg and Linda!

It's finally the day! The wedding dinner of Brother Greg and Linda!

When I reached Mariott Hotel, I nearly thought that it's OCBC's D&D. Most of the OCBC staff seemed to be there - The past and present staff. The whole world is there. I'm serious. It's just so amazing!

Handsome Greg and his beautiful wife, Linda

The reception table

Me & Ailing - I wanted to wear a similar dress like Ailing, but I didn't wear as it was too tight. :(
Luckily I didn't wear, if not we would be like Twin Sisters.

Beautiful Mummy of 2 with me!

My new neighbour, Christopher! He lives in the opposite blk!

After taking a few photos, I guess I looked too sick to look good in the photos, and thus, I stopped taking photos. :( I didn't eat much either as I wasn't feeling too well. In fact, it's the first wedding which I had to wear cardigan as I was feeling too cold, so cold that I nearly wanted to use the table cloth to cover myself. Haha.

After dinner, the rest had plans to go MOS, but a group of us decided to go home. We wanted to share cab but the queue was so long that we decided to take train. It was definitely the first wedding dinner that I had to resort to taking train home at the end of the event. Haha. Super sad man. We were so tired but we got no choice as it was really difficult to catch a cab at 1130pm in town.

Congratulations to Brother Greg and Linda! Wishing you two a long lasting happy marriage!

Who will be the next one getting married?

Sick...

I nearly couldn't make it home last night.

I was feeling very sick yesterday but I still went for my lessons as the teacher was supposed to give tips for the exams. Being a kiasu student as usual, I had no choice but to drag my sick body for the lessons.

I guess I had been hit by the VIRUS. I was down with a bad sore throat with flu on Thursday night. I was shivering for the whole night and I couldn't really sleep due to difficulty in breathing. I wasn't feeling too well in the morning, but I still went to work

And know what? One of my Big Boss came to my branch UNANNOUNCED! I was really in panic as I didn't expect him to come and of all days, I felt super under-dressed. I wanted to wear my suit to work but the thread came off so I changed into another the next
available clothes. Sigh. All the things just went wrong when I wasn't feeling too well. On top of it, my glass door was working fine for the past few days or even past few hours. But when the boss was standing with us at the entrance, the glass door gave a sharp squeak sound. Faint. Furthermore, it does not help that my EXIT sign looks like it's going to fall off anytime. Luckily, he left after staying in branch for a while. I just pray that he didn't have a bad impression of me.

I went to see a doctor subsequently. My doctor gave me 2 days of MC and he told me to go home to rest so as not to spread the virus. But seriously, it's impossible for me to go home since there's nobody covering me. I have a sad life, isn't it?

Sometimes when you are down, a lot of things just happened to you. It was a very EVENTFUL day for me with complicated transactions and I was told that my branch was under ONLINE observation for a certain period of the day. It was indeed a stressful day for a sick person.

I hate being sick.

Grr.... My throat hurts...

After eating PepperLunch yesterday for dinner, I've gotten a bad sore throat. My throat hurts so much that I didn't even dare to eat my favourite curry puffs bought from AMK this morning. And I just keep drinking water (and going toilet). I seriously hope that my throat will be much better tomorrow. Sigh.

Weekend is approaching... And this will mean that it's going to be Brother Greg's wedding this Saturday! He was engaged in October last year and now he's going to be married. Time flies, isn't it? Given that Brother Greg seems to invite everybody from OCBC, I really hope that he did not arrange me to sit with some miscellaneous OCBC people. Anyway, my dear CNN lady, Ailing was so excited about Brother Greg's wedding that she even sms me on Monday, asking what's the program after the wedding. Haha. I guess it's going to be a fun gathering with my colleagues from Compass Point.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Brother Greg and Chin Chin in advance!

Live Simple

When an unreasonable customer screamed at you for nothing, instead of feeling angry, think about other nice customers who have been appreciative of what you have done for them.

When your friend is late for appointment, instead of feeling impatient and frustrated, thank him or her for giving you some personal time to yourself.

When your loved one break up with you, instead of feeling upset that you two cannot be together, think positively that somebody may be waiting for you somewhere out there and be happy that you have gained a friend. Couples may not be together forever, but be thankful that you two can be friends forever.

When you make mistakes at work, don't be disheartened. Learn from the mistakes and you will be a better person tomorrow.

When you feel lonely or depressed, think of your family and friends who love you for who you are and how much they want you to be happy. They are always a phone call away.

When you feel poor, instead of complaining why life is unfair to you, be thankful that you have 3 meals to eat and a shelter over your head.

When you feel that your job SUX, be glad that at least you have a job. There are some people who are not even given a chance to work.

When you feel that you are having a tough life, take it in your stride. Tough times don't last, but tough men do. Whatever obstacles you conquer today or in the future will make you a better person.

Most importantly, live simple. Be kind and nice to people around you, and you will be happier this way. =p

Branch Transformation

As I was going to have dinner at AMK Hub today, I decided to pop by the AMK Hub Branch. I was very impressed with the whole branch! It's just so cool. I even met some of the familiar faces like Lincoln, Angela and Christine! Angela was really nice to bring me around the new branch. You guys should go down and experience a whole new banking experience at that branch! Keke.

By the way, I think AMK Hub is really HAPPENING.

How Much Water Should You Drink In A Day?

A simple question with no right or wrong answers. This question popped out during dinner time and I had decided to research on it... I thought it should be 8 glasess of water while some though otherwise. So, I typed this question in the yahoo search and many related links popped out.

And my conclusion is...

Men should consume about 3 litres of water while women should consume about 2.2 litres of water. - Extracted from Mayolinic.com

I bet many of us out there don't drink that much of water ya?

And when I mean 8 glasses of water, it means WATER, not coke or coffee or tea or even fruit juices. These aren't exactly WATER. They do consist of water but they've got a whole lot of sugar and caffeine in them. That's not considered WATER.
