Cabs

Wow, I hadn't posted in such a long while. How time flies. Ever since the beginning of August, life became different. Everywhere I go, was cab cab cab, I never took that many cabs in my life before, thanks to my client located in tuas, but life is quite good. A comfortable ride to and from work, and from work to wherever I want to go, without bothering about ERP. My claims actually reached a 1.6k high.

Complaint letters to cab increased as well. I met one of the best cab drivers who waited outside for me, opened the door for me, and made sure I was seated nicely before moving off, asked if the air-con was too cold for me? Would I like some radio? Which music station do I listen to? And I met the worst, when I told him I was in quite a rush to work today, his rude reply to me was "MAM, DONT PRESSURE THE DRIVER, ITS YOUR FAULT THAT YOU ARE LATE." w.t.f. The worst

I am actually considering very seriously getting a car for myself, but I'm not sure. Gotta work out my finances first. Let's see how la. :)

After working in Tuas with my clients day-in-day-out, I became quite attached to them. They also treat me as one of their staff already. I pack food everyday to work too; which saved me a huge sum of money allocated to food as compared to previous months, healthier also. Now my first project is live already; feel a sense of satisfaction and it is almost time to leave this place as I am about to embark on a new project soon. New location: Boon Lay/ Jurong West. ZZZ, I might as well move to the west man. Kns.

The whole gang of Lightweights are here, full strength, with the Under 160 club, full strength too! We decided to take this photo, after our KTV session @ The Pines, had go karting earlier in the day too. hehee.

Oh man, I guess I really did not have the time to even blog a single entry, everyday is just busy busy busy, busy at work, busy after work, rah! but I took some time off to write this entry cos I wanted to post this nice pic up hehehe. Well, lotsa activities lately, we've been catching a movie almost every week, the best so far was The Dark Knight, my god, Heath Ledger ROX. He is SO cool. Kudos to him, the best hit he gave the world before he left it, something that everyone will remember him by.

We had Bang's Graduation Buffet @ Home on Saturday; bin bin zhang da le. ah da ye zhang da le. ah shua ye zhang da le. Thanks for dinner Bang, after which we went to play LAN, I joined the boys (tat, bang, josh, daryl, derryn); we sat in derryn's volkswagen passat while heading to play LAN. nice la. all 3 cars also parked parallel in Le Meridien hehe. I tried playing the Dawn of Wars for the 1st time, erh, still not so familiar la, stupid joshua and derryn la kill kill kill. bully 1st timers. come play dota la, I sure trash u one. Simon also quite feeder recently. tsk tsk.

Throughout the month, we had mahjong session till 5am, movies, go kart, ktv, commencement for the 3 boys, buffet, LAN, various chill out sessions @ dempsey, grocery shopping @ Jone's, tat in melbourne, meetups with my friends, magic show, lovely dinners, time well spent with my boy, helping my sister set up her booth @ Marina Square, mama in hospital, and work work.

My boss was thinking of getting a Suzuki Swift as a company car; it is still too early to say, wait till we move office then say bah. Then when I drive to Tuas for my customer's meetings, I CAN USE THE CAR, then go to Raffles Marina for LUNCHEON. NAHAHAHA. He got me a cheesecake last week, for afternoon tea, not bad, that was quite sweet of him. He also got me some snickers bar when I was still working at 7pm+ in office. And for all the time I was OT-ing over the weekends, he said he will sponsor me a trip to BALI, omg lah. How cool is that, maybe my beau will be sponsored too! See how, haha then I have people asking me to let them be their temp beaus first. lol, sorry cannot la..

What A Great Week

Starting last week, I finally stopped my overtime at work, like FINALLY. I was like crossing my fingers that I do not have to OT anymoreee…
There were visitors at my office, throughout the week, they ‘borrowed’ our meeting room for their training sessions. And almost the whole office was empty as colleagues and boss was out for meetings. Boss then asked me at 6pm, if the visitors were still here. I was like yah. It was 6 plus-ish. Then he said oh? Still there? Next thing I knew was that I heard a phone ring from my meeting room, and it was my boss calling them ASKING THEM TO LEAVE, cos it is 6pm and time for me to go.. Wah? I never had such privilege EVER.

Exams were also finally over, on Tuesday. FREEDOM. It was a date @ Changi Airport that night, on Wednesday, we went for a movie date, watched KungFu Panda, chio kah peng, I laughed until I cried, and we did some shopping that night. Both of us had something to bring home! Hee.


Thursday. Met up with lightweights for dinner, we decided to go budget for dinner this time, ate at Burger King @ Wheellock, lol. After which, all of us, wearing FORMAL wear, headed to Toy ‘R’ Us to begin our SUPER SOAKERS hunt in preparation for our pool party that coming Sunday, like small kids all. Tsk tsk. We were mainly contemplating between the Super Soakers and Water Warriors. The girls all got the smaller ones, while the boys were like looking at the big machines. I didn’t get yet, got Josh to help get mine on Sunday itself when he went to buy for himself. Haha, at the cashier, while we were paying, there was a father behind us in the queue who went “wah, fierce weapons you guys are buying.” LOL. Well, we are just re-living our childhood days.

Friday. I finally met up with my ex-colleagues from Acco for dinner. Had a dota session before that, hee hee. We ate at a Japanese restaurant in Central Mall, expensiveee man. Oh wells. By the time dinner ended was already 11+pm, gosh, a long dinner indeed. So decided to head home to rest early instead.


Saturday. Grocery Shopping Day @ Parkway Parade for BBQ on Sunday. Haha, he was in charge of the BBQ Preparation of the food for our pool party. Got up late, as usual, cos I was just too exhausted, drained out man. So I met him at his place first, and headed to Parkway together, and had lunch at MOS Burger before our shopping commenced. Josh came and joined us halfway, was supposed to go join in the test driving for the RX7 after the grocery shopping, but I didn’t have enough time, cos I had to attend my distant cousin’s 21st birthday celebration @ NUS Guild House, it was literally like a wedding dinner can? The most grand 21st I’ve even been to. 20 TABLES. Wow, I’m really impressed and the food was really good. After the dinner, we left, drove my grandma and family home, before taking the car out again to meet the lightweights @ GV Grand – Incredible Hulk. Well, I enjoyed Ironman much more, maybe cos we also watched Ironman in gold class, haha, but hulk was still a not bad show. After the movie, all of us left in our transports and both of us headed to 7-Eleven to buy some beer to get the beef drunk. A very long day indeed, headed home, bathed immediately and dropped dead in bed. Haha. My sister wanted to join for the movie, but too late, Al booked the tickets already, and Simon didn’t come in the end, wasted, my sister could have taken his ticket hehe.

Sunday. Attended church in the morning, tired as usual, then headed out from church to Ivin’s for Father’s Day Lunch, it’s been some time since I last savoured Peranakan food, must bring Tat to go try it one day. Parents headed out for mahjong session, while the daughters were sent home, after which I had to change and get ready for the pool party already. LOL. Met Josh & him at his place first, where we played a bit of super soakers at the car park, all pumped up!! Dropped by Holland V to get the underwater cameras, then to Elisa’s for the pool party! We were really literally like small kids, the kids at the pool wanted to snatch our super soakers too, lol. It was quite a crowded pool that day, compared to the last pool party I heard. Around 6pm, BBQ started, wow my baby’s marinated stuff was fabuliciously prepared. =) I think everyone loved the food, all the meat was gone! What was left were just the baked potatoes and vegetables. We didn’t drink much alcohol as well, tiring day, our arms were ‘pumped’ up, headed home after packing everything up. Gotta work the next day, got a nice long bath and slept like a log the rest of the night.

Monday. Back at work. After work, my baby invited me for dinner at THE LINE – Shangri-La, for father’s day dinner. Hehe, I was like serious?! Haha, so after work, I couldn’t really leave on the dot, I rushed down to Lido and got his dad a Renoma shirt. I hope he likes it, it was my first time dining out with them. Chatted with his bro a bit, and walao the food there was AWESOME can, I was really blown away by the atmosphere there, the salmon sashimi, ooh. *drools* There was fondue, cold rock, and desserts, wow. I ate SO much that night, I sorta had problems sleeping after that, cos I was so bloated haha, but never mind, I’ll just work out a bit more. Awesome dinner, his dad gave me a lift home too. =)

Tuesday. Date with my sister. Well, it has been some time since I went out with her alone, like shopping and stuff kinda thing. Booked for the movie – Sex and The City, the movie brought back some bad memories, but ah, I’m over it, but I could totally relate to it though. Forgiveness? Yah, I sure did, but he just repeating the mistakes, so what is the use of forgiveness then? Miranda in the show said “I received a lot of I’m Sorry smses, calls, letters, emails. What for? Why do things that you have to be ‘I’m sorry’ about in the first place?” I just could relate to it, that’s all, and whatever has happened is all history now! I’m just more concerned about the present and the future. So Jean & I went shopping, we bought some nail polish from The Face Shop, as I have the discount card, haha. Chilled out at Mac’s for awhile eating McFlurry, went shopping at m)phosis for awhile, and it was time for the movie already! 2.5 hours, we really rushed out of the theatre after that so we could catch the last train home, didn’t wanna drive as parking was just too expensive. Sigh. Train so much cheaper wahaha. Had fun.


I think I shall head home to rest tonight, feeling sick already. I just want to have a nice dinner at home and rest. Thanks Mel for the hot pink Agnes B. pouch, its very pretty. =) hugs

The Heart Of The Matter.

This song was part of the Sex And The City's soundtrack.
The lyrics - simplicity, but yet meaningful.

A song that took 42 years to write (by the Eagles)
A song that took 4 minutes to sing (Don Henley)
A song that I am capable of - Forgiveness, and the extent of it, is unimaginable of me
A song that Don Henley realized that India Arie actually sang a better version of it
A song that is just... beautiful......

I think its about forgiveness, forgiveness..

I would like to thank Melvin and Gerard for 'bringing' Tat and me together..
Without the both of you, I wouldn't have gotten to know him.

Past & Present

Let’s talk about Past & Present today. I had learnt a lot from my previous relationship.
Maybe God decided I should go through what I had to be able to appreciate what I have with Tat right now. =) I have learnt to appreciate things a lot better now, through communication with Tat, like he would tell me what he may not like, and vice versa.

During one of the nights, we had an ‘irritated’ night; we were talking about how irritated we felt with each other. LOL. It was funny, but at least he knows what I do not like, and now I know what irritates him wahaha. Maybe I should do it more and see his irritated face haha. Anyway, you also purposely ‘irritate’ me just to see my irritated reaction right. Kana sai.

Everyone now looks at me and says that I look so much happier now, appetite has increased too! =) WAHAHA, but I shall NOT grow fat, I will be in control of that. Yah, I AM happy, and I think I also am mingling more with his friends, lightweights and his other groups. Previously, it is just friends first, always friends first, I mean there should be a balance.

He has been busy going for his business trips to KL and Thailand recently. Sob sob, for around a week each time, missed him hor. I bought him a portable electric kettle so he could use on his overseas trips, hee hee. Nice hor nice hor! I got him a mini dictionary for Thai, it is damn good, I survived my Thai days with it, if not I would have died.

I also planned a surprise for him on the day he flew back from Bangkok, I went to pick him from the airport! =) but but, he sorta guessed that I would be there leh! Kns, he called me when he landed, asked where I was, I was like err… OT in office ah. He was like really meh?! Haha, no I am waiting outside for you. LOL, but he was happy I came down! Not like me being unappreciated when I did that a long time ago for someone, with just like the “Oh” reaction.

I’ve been wanting to like just go walk walk at Changi Airport, since a FEW years back already, cos not much people there, don’t have the crowded shit you get in the urban areas, then just sit down somewhere, chill, always getting the cold water response. Well, I’ve FINALLY done it, we were supposed to pick Jean from the Airport later in the night @ 1130pm. So decided to head there for dinner, after my last paper! Then we went round snapping pictures, and he was playing with my cam. I was like a small kid last night, cos I hadn’t been out for a long time, waited for my parents to pick us both at 11+ from T3, we actually stayed in T2, T3 for quite some hours, then went to the other terminal to pick the little fry up.

Well, both of us are so busy at work, sometimes our weekends are sacrificed cos of work, but at least both of us are working hard together at the same time, so it doesn’t really feel so bad. On top of that, I had studies too, which I think I might have sacrificed this time for my career, but I don’t mind working hard. I had quite a huge jump entering this job, and I am willing to work hard for it. My boss was saying he might actually sponsor a trip for me and my bf to BALI?!?! FOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! We shall see ok.

And the bimbotic S***N bitch has been commenting about my sister. Wtf. Already got the guy she wants, whom I DUMPED, and yet now what? Still trying to create chaos here? Want to read my sister’s blog, go read lah, comment here & comment there, nothing better else to do. What the bloody hell, seriously no f**king life. Nobody bullies my sister, or u face me, and u face Tat. And I can foresee the response, oh no no nothing of that sort, and *innocent look*. oh pls, give me a break. BITCH.

Our One Month

Guess what??
It has unknowingly been one month already since I was with Tat.
Before I even realized it.

Saturday, 10 May 2008, was the day.
It was a good thing that 10 May fell on a Saturday.
I was sleeping all the way till past noon, as I slept so late the night before.
Couldn’t get up at all.

Received an sms from him, asking if I was awake already.
I read it; closed the window and went back to dreamland.
Then I got up again and called him.
Told him ok, I shall get up now… but
I would need an hour plus to be ready, haha.

He picked me from the station and we made our way to PS Café.
We went past the place where Josh & Pris dined two days before.
At first it was a bit misleading, haha, couldn’t really find the way
Luckily for the map, we finally got to PS Café.
It was pretty full house man.
We decided to sit outdoors, were seated at the non-smoking area at first
But it was pretty crowded and quite the noisy
Tat decided that we should shift to the smoking area

The smoking area had like beach like chairs, clothed.
It was a bit uncomfortable at first but I got used to it after awhile.
I ordered a mango banana crumble, yummy.
He ordered an ultimate fudge brownie or something like that, VERY deadly.

We headed to Plaza after that for the movie – Speed Racer
Was supposed to study actually, but I was like erm oh well…
I got a buy one get one free ticket also, cos it was my birthday month.
Not bad huh.

Dinn at his place, we da pao Japanese food and sushi back.
And watched “The Other Boelyn Girl” while eating.
Home sweet home.

Happy Day.
