FREE CONE DAY!!!

so exciting manns. last year was damn shiok cuz went to suntec and raffles city to get 2 cones! and this year i left e office promptly at 12pm with my first destination suntec but this year they are not doing it at that particular outlet! )): so i hafta walk back to raffles city and join the super longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg queue. it took me about 30mins to get a cone! eileen reckons that i'm crazy. mervyn thinks that i'm a toilet cleaner cuz i got 2hrs break. hah.

ohyes out of my super excitement about this free cone day, i messaged like 20odd people about free cone day! but less than 10 replied. haha. but i do know some of them will just delete my message or sth after reading it. haha. just wanted to brighten up their day or sth cuz i'm soooooo excited. heh. and well because of that i chatted with some people whom i havent chatted for ages! even kinda agreed to go shopping + a trip to island creamery with one of them! heeee.

and i tell you CHOCOLATE THERAPY IS LOVE! it's superbly delish (jamie oliver's way of saying delicious) with chocolate chip cookie + chocolate pudding! i cant wait for it to be sold in tubs in singapore!! :DDDD

have been working OTs since friday because there's simply too many things to do and so little time to complete. and it doesnt help that tomorrow's my really really last day and there's still so many things to be done. like compiling a high risks list for caren to do stocktake when e reprints come trickling down from the business units (cuz sheryl will be going for a retreat in taiwan from tomorrow onwards until a couple of weeks later so caren will be mostly on her own, though there's still catherine and meimei arnd), bringing the photocopies up to biz units for them to disseminate to the officers and do the amendments and the original high risks copies for GM to review and stamp and to bring the remaining ones (low and medium risks) down to deposit for filing. i'm guessing i'll spend about 4hours approx down in the cold vault. BRRRR.

gonna meet up the rest of the temps for lunch tomorrow. think yuanting has gotten everybody to meet tomorrow. sheryl thought that it was a surprise for me and quickly minimized the memo window when i was at her table. and then caren said out loud. ha.

will miss compliance manns. the best dept that i can ever have, and damn lucky for me to get, considering that i'm working for the first time. heeeee.

and hor, 清官难判家务事, so don't get me involved in too many things that i shouldnt be involved la. listen too much will make me feel like whacking ppl. think only a few people know what i mean, provided that they come around my blog. heh.

5more days!
9:39 PM

mud, AED, BWC.

that sums up my day. (:

started off with a growling stomach (but had a can of milo) and off to bedok reservoir with hweepeng zipeng yongsiang for PD. then e rain in the middle of the PD and e ambulance stuck in the mud later on. made a terrible mistake to go help push (when there are so many guys arnd) cuz that caused my mud disaster.

in e end the pd ended earlier than planned and we went to get a fresh change of clothes for me. then stoned in hq with hweepeng. got some ppl doing some filming in e brigade room. dunno for what though. and i saw an actor in golden mile. UHH.

then had aed course. got panicky when it comes to the practical part cuz we learn the stuff that day and we are tested on that day. UH. and that mr tan kept saying i'm so noisy that later scarli 我嫁不出去. =x

and chest compressions can be some sort of workout cann. was in my jacket cuz the room's pretty cold but after a while of doing the compressions i'm like feeling hot (blood rushing around). think i did like 6-7cycles of 30 compressions. goodness.

after e course (theory + practical + tests) left hq with yy and went to meet bwc at marina square. walked arnd aimlessly (trademark of bwc) before settling down at Secret Recipe in suntec cuz me and waikuan craved for the cakes. and i bought fries too. and i'm glad that i'm back on bickering terms with one of them again. it's been soooo long and it's seriously fun and nostalgic to play around like little kids again.

then went to chijmes for the guys to watch soccer match (man u vs chelsea) and for me to chat with shiyun. i guess she's right about certain stuff, though i quite wish to deny it. think carefully before you choose, such that you don't regret it after you've made a decision. anyway it's targetted to me and not the one whom i've reprimanded like last week. and what's in the past stays in the past. no point holding on.

then took train home. yay. zhikai's so much more manly with his more defined biceps. HUR. and met my ex while on e train. it's so amazing that i can chat freely with him because you can hardly find ppl who can still talk to each other peacefully and civilly after a breakup. so a good amount of time apart will just nurse all e wounds.

my eyes are drooping, so may you have a good night.

算了
11:51 PM

another week!

has been quite an extraordinary week i would say. though work is mundane but in e final stages for me, since i'm only left with THREE working days! has been counting down since tuesday cann! :DDD

but somehow just felt bored and had e urge to message people on tuesday and wednesday. i did message people and some strange/stupid things just happened. UHHH.

have this feeling that next week will be very hiong, considering i still got 2 huge stacks of forms to photocopy and to key in into the computer, a rescue mission to conduct, rushing around to get the relevant stamps onto the forms and to transport all e remaining ones in the office down to the freezing vault. all in THREE DAYS. and sheryl is leaving for her holiday on 30th. i foresee OTs ahead. (which nelson had done a super hiong one a few days ago)

finally a weekend without otc, but still filled with activities. goodness.
9:06 PM

BLOODY MIGRAINE!!! someone please get rid of that bloody headache off me!!

i wonder if i'm having some sort of disease because i have migraines like in regular intervals! (like once in a few months) RAHHHHH.
9:17 PM

关于那件事情, 当你惊觉的时候, 发现已经来不及了.

来不及开始, 来不及完成, 来不及把自己准备到最好.

这种感觉, 就像一觉醒来, 发现挂在窗外的不是充满希望的朝阳, 而是即将日暮的夕阳, 让你感到说不出的懊丧.

于是, 你又在这样的情绪里耗去全部的黄昏, 甚至一整个晚上.

适度的警醒是必要的, 但太多的自责却没有意义, 只是拖累了你更多的时间而已.

随时随地都可以开始, 只要去做就是了啊.

如果任自己荒废在失落, 懊恼与沮丧等负面的情绪里, 才是真正的来不及.

所以, 亲爱的, 请随时随地告诉自己, 行动吧, 行动!

多想无益.

yesterday was indeed crazy. heeeee. we seem to be able to talk freely only when the older ones are gone. take ytd's dinner for example. it also goes to show that guys can also gossip de lo! just look at how many allies that our course commander have around the table and how many trainees that we had talked about! (06 - 08)

then e free car ride and the video of the eeyore cushion!! that's definitely poc or campfire videos-worthy. :DDDDD

2 more weeks and i'll be in London! counting down the days!

也许该要真的相信
4:28 PM

j'adore long walks. from tanjong pagar to bugis and i could have ventured over to orchard if not for the peak hour (was at tanjong pagar at 3plus and left bugis at close to 6). and i realised how near tanjong pagar is to raffles place. reached amoy food centre in like 10mins after i left international plaza!

next time shall try outram to tanjong pagar. shall aim to figure out how to walk all over singapore. (:

had an immense sense of satisfaction after i've borrowed books, even though i wanted to borrow more because there's simply too many books to read! (strangely none ain't chinese. :P) like now i have a bartending book, a some sort of history epic novel (The Boleyn Inheritance, which happens after The Other Boleyn Girl, which focused on the story before Anne became Queen and until she died. but it was her sister Mary who's narrating), a London guidebook and a leadership book. hur. now i'm quite into England royal history, especially into the times pre and during the Elizabethan era around the 1500s. (:

was quite happy that i can nua at home until i meet fangyi at 3plus to go shopping until i received a call about having two meetings tomorrow. SIGH. but i shall make myself happy by trying to make pancakes for breakfast! (:

ohyes in case you're wondering how come i can walk around when it's a working day today (yes i do notice that), i ponned work today. got sold easily after my brother suggested ponning since i dun feel like going to work. and sheryl told me that i only hafta go into office on tuesday afternoon after they sort things out with HR and DGM on monday and tues morning all except meimei got seminar. mm that means i wun see the japs/chinese anymore! yamada-san greeted me ytd you know. heh.

colbie caillat's not bad! and i'm quite a maroon 5 fan now. (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Charissa and Pei Jun tomorrow!
9:52 PM

uhh. there goes my chance to see SA soccer matches (maybe i can catch the finals or sth after i came back from england) or hockey matches or rugby! and my running-cycling-learning how to drive plans for the next two weeks are busted for good. )):

this morning i was just wondering how would they cope if i'm really gone by friday, considering they are only like halfway through the S pile and there's still the T pile. and even though i'm moving down quite an amt of forms to deposit, there is a HUGE stack of forms that are waiting for the biz units to send down the amended copies.

and then caren asked me if i'm okay to stay for another week or so and though i was quite unwilling, i agreed. i'm e type who're willing to give up money for freedom, but at that point of time there were 2 factors that made me agree:

1. sense of fulfilment/satisfaction. though i joined the project pretty late (it started around last november), i've been in this project for like 11weeks already and it would make me very satisfied to see the ending of this projects. and besides, i'm very familiar with the stuff and it would definitely help to make things go along faster (provided i'm not slacking).

2. more moolah! though i'm the type who will give up money for freedom, but i need moolah for my london trip (expenses) and i've just bought a set of super old manga (i read them when i was in primary school and my handwriting was still damn big) at 180bucks. and i want to get a new bag cuz i cant find any decent bags for e trip and more clothes! (GSS coming!)

so yeah. 9 more working days to freedom! i've even planned to go around raffles city and suntec during my lunch hour on 29april to get my B&J free cones! :DD

anyway. about that set of super old manga. was wandering around OUB centre after lunch (the rest hafta go back at 1 and i dun want to sit outside compliance and stone) and i decided to go upstairs. so went to third floor and went into the SAN bookstore (cant remember the name) and went to the manga section when i spotted the oh-so-familiar title and not-so-familiar picture on the front page. i'm damn excited i tell you!

actually in january i've kinda made arrangements with a guy i've known in a forum to send over the set of manga with each manga at close to SGD1 leh! budden there's the shipping cost (there's 21volumes) and i dunno for sure if that's the one and the guy had disappeared from the forum suddenly. so yar. i've decided to buy in singapore. even though it's like so ex. but well. i'm happy! ((:

has been a spendthrift lately. bought like sooo many magazines, candies, food, mangas and buying the necessities by myself! kinda proud of myself though. haha. but i plan to find another job, probably a part-time perm job after i come back from london, cuz that's arnd the time i would know my application results and i want to have a fixed part time job when i go uni. besides, admin job is BORING. though i have a very nice boss who paid for our desserts today. :D

cant wait for the weekend! (:

ohyes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JIAQING! (:
8:20 PM

it had been a crazy day with the instructors being so wacky yesterday and ended on a very crazy note at night. it's heartwarming to see people of different age groups (but all in the 1980s! okay one 1990. hur) having so much fun and laughter that we are getting close to being blacklisted by Pastamania at Bugis. :DDD

i bet we would have much more fun when the rest of the people (trainees included) join in during the camp! okay not all. there are certain people who are being blacklisted by me personally due to certain annoying reasons and i think that apply to some other people who actually know them. but i'll try to be normal towards them. =x

an okay day at work and 4more days to temporary freedom! but i just realised that i have two free weeks instead of one cuz this week is my last week in compliance. gonna talk to shirley probably tomorrow and perhaps i would hafta put aside my plans to watch soccer and hockey A div. i want to see SA's new soccer captain and the goalkeeper!! )):

i'm afraid.
9:14 PM

i think i'm going mad by stoning and waiting at this kind of unearthly hour while fighting hard the urge not to sleep right in front of my laptop. -_-
12:16 AM

i love the days when i can nua at home and have nothing to do. these days became more important to me, now that i hafta work on weekdays and there's otc on sundays (2more to go at the moment) and ndp is coming soon on saturdays. but somehow i still wake up pretty early (8plus) even though i slept at like 1am e previous night.

went out cycling on one of my favourite routes from my block to shaughnessy and then to lower seletar reservoir and back to my block. i always preferred to cycle on routes with no or minimal number of people because i dun like to press my bell and find that the people are not giving way or give me surly looks. one idiot today totally ignored me when i pressed my bell and i decided to just ride past him and said sucker out loud. in short, i just hate crowds.

lunch was in malaysia and i declare bakkuhteh as one of my favourite foods of all times. it's something that i would always be delighted to eat it. other foods include seafood pasta (i love farfalle, penne and fusilli) and seafood by itself. (:

for now i'm quite glad that time is flying really fast, because it meant that i'm left with one week with compliance before i would probably be released for a week at home. no work cuz shirley reckoned that i would take about a week to learn e ropes in the new dept and it makes no point for me to do so cuz after that one week i would be flying off.

not that i dun like compliance, cuz there are really marvellous people (even one of e 2 japs, yamada-san, and e chinese, ken, are being nice to me!) and there is always food (toblerone is gone but there's seaweed) but things are really boring. i would love to have super OTs like kenny and nelson even though it meant no life.

and it also meant otc is ending. i'm quite sick of waking up at 6 on sundays, even though there is great company. but i need a break from it.

作一场 冒险的表演
走过千秋万岁 寂寞的云烟
下雨天 没有地点可以搁浅
拍一张 分别的纪念
努力远走高飞 失眠的海面
地平线 彩虹消失在一瞬间
8:17 PM

was actually contemplating whether i should blog a bit or not, even before last night when yy asked me to update. so sorry babe. i really wasn't in a mood to blog. (actually more like i'm lazy to blog)

got the new phone above an hour or so ago and i've changed my number. the old number is still in use though, it's just that my new number wouldn't merge with the old number until 7 working days later, which is next next Tuesday (15april). you can see my new number in my personal message on MSN, or you can wait for me to message you my new number after my phone is charged for 8 full hours. (ie tomorrow morning).

after jotting down so many numbers last night (i didn't save all to my SIM card), i realised there are so many numbers that i do not have any use for. like the people i've came to know and got super drifted apart in the past few years. yes we can still recognize each other on the streets (for some only), but other than that we are not crossing paths anymore.

that's just fate isn't it. people come and go in our lives and so if we do not grab tightly those people whom we treasure alot, they will be gone forever. i'm glad and thankful for the list of names which had remained in my contact list for the past few years and counting, even though it's pretty short. i do not need lots of friends to feel belonged in the first place. (after all, i'm a hermit and not some very sociable person you probably thought i am)

ohyes. i'm heading London in May. so if you want me to get any items (like clothes from Topshop which might just be cheaper in London despite the stronger pound sterling. fangyi is going to think of things she want me to buy from there), do let me know. quite sad that i'm not going Paris as planned. (too expensive if take into consideration e price of Eurostar tickets and hostel fees in Paris)

i've discovered i really love RED alot. my MSN is close to red (e original red is hideous), my MSN font is red, my XP theme is going to be red soon (once i've found a decent red theme), my new phone is red and the straps of my new Braziliano Praia slippers is red! and i'm wearing a red fbt now. (:

actually, there's many things that i've wanted to say, but i can't bring myself to type it down in words on this blog. and thus for the 2weeks plus absence. apparently i still have the ability to write loads even though that wasn't exactly what i've wanted to write down in the first place. (and thus e abit part in the first paragraph)

tomorrow's going to be another long day in HQ. 3 more course days and it'll be over for a while.

那就这样吧
