Farewell

I am back folks! Its been a while with so much happening in the last week or two that its difficult to think of where to start. Since the subject is on farewells...lets see some pics of how my last couple of days were spent in the office.

At our "dining table" that is good for 30...or maybe even more...see the rest with their stylo thinkpads...this is a typical morning.

Xiaodi and Xiaomei

Will miss u my beloved T42.....check out my happy drugs! like police raid DVD shop hor...hahaha

After which we proceeded to lunch leaving out Fatty and hurting her in the end...(who cares?)

Adeline, Tricia, Nick, Emily, Claira, Greg

The sistas Fioe and Kris

My lovely gift from Tiffany. Thank you everyone!

Will miss you folks!!!!!

Stronger Being

Armed with 2.5 hours of sleep since my last post. An air of calmness surrounds my being. It is difficult to describe the feeling. All I know is the strength that now penetrates deep within the previously broken heart.

Happy Vesak Mambo!!

Finally!!! A thursday public holiday!!! Mambo was planned way in advance by the GSK gang since beginning of May. Then last week, I gathered my Jie Meis to join the party. To re-live our moments, we went at 930 to get our "chops" so that we did not have to queue with the crowd later. At 930, the party felt like it had already started!!! People were milling their way into the arena and even the citibank priority quota was met! Oh well, after getting my ride parked and our "chops" securely visible on our arms, we trekked our way to good ole Tong Shui. Check out the happy bellies. After filling our tums tums, we trekked back to Zouk...as we walked back Chriss told me that its impossible to get in. People and cars were overflowing in the arena. Check out the pics. Its like NYE's on Orchard. We were worried as Char Siew Pow had not received the almighty CHOPS.

After a short drive to Clarke Quay which was equally packed (have not seen MOS queue snake all the way to Cannery taxi stand for the longest time), we decided that we had to carry out Operation SMUGGLE CSB after advice from Francis that the only way to get in is to cut queue.

Reaching back to Zouk, it seemed a little saner than it did before. People actually bother to queue...kudos to them. Young and energetic..we this bunch of obasan not so free. We saw the magic sign that said re-entry. Me and JC has the same thought. Just try our luck. As the saying goes, if you cant beat them, confuse them!!! We made our way to the re-entry sign and squeezed ourselves together to make it look like all of us had the CHOPS. Thanks to poker face CSB, Operation SMUGGLE CSB was a huge success!

Once we were inside...it was party like no tomorrow. Songs like Strange Love, The Great Commandment, Square Rooms sure got us going. Guess who I bumped into???

Ah (An) Liang (who strangely goes by AL now...) and Sandy...say CHEESE!

And our ever supporting pseudo Jie Mei!!! Francis-kor

More pics of us crazy on the dance floor.

Happiness knows no limits as seen below

Our night ended up at Tong Shui again....thirsty girl satisfied!!

A broken heart is better than a broken soul

As I braved the onslaught of my relationship woes, today seemed to be the worse day of my roller coaster ride. It felt like the equivalent of a nasty ride gone terribly wrong. Tears filled my heart and it felt that someone pulled the belt too tight over my heart. Why do I feel that I have been treated so unfairly? Why do i have to always follow and never dictate? Why cant I release the belt around my heart?

I feel choked. I feel life sometimes draining out of me. Maybe the sleep last night was interrupted and wasnt enough and therefore my crankiness reached mt everest. Today was bad. I have told him what i wanted to say. Now i have no regrets being honest. I need to move on. I really really have to try. Otherwise my soul may be broken too.

Insomnia

Its 2am. Tired but cannot get to sleep.

Was thinking about my day. Started off with me working on the PC. Frank called me and asked me out for lunch...its been almost 2 mths since we last caught up. Apparently he is snaking from reservist.

He was telling me that i need to find someone that i can gradually love as opposed to someone that gave me that instant feeling of gratification. Funny lei...which means someone like him??? I told him...if i do that...my next rs will end up like his and mine.

Anyways....I thank GOD for Frank in my life. Its been 10 years since I first knew Frank. He was known as the rich kid in church then. With a house that could park 20 cars in the driveway. He was a soul mate. Maybe they call it chemistry..

We shared so much laughter and tears during these 10 years. He has always been around when I needed a listening male companion and the person who never gets tired drinking soup with me day in day out.

Today as we spoke, he is still that same big hearted boy i knew 10 years back. I only hope that he makes the best choices in his life to achieve real happiness.

After that, Xinru brought me to a sharing session. I think sometimes i have the ability to switch on that invisible shield around my heart. Or maybe its been there for ages. I was not impressed by the mechanics of the Landmark course.

Oh suddenly I feel sleepy. Better not waste the feeling and go sleep. Tmr I have a date with GOD.

Love your life

A friend whom i knew a long time back passed away in his sleep. He was only 29. His heart just stopped beating.

http://www.friendster.com/1854965

This is his friendster profile. I remembered him being 14 and the cute one amongst the rest.....and so soft spoken. As I looked at the orbs in the papers today.....sadness filled me to the brink of tears.

Y? Y so young, so talented and too soon.......

I am going to be happy and love my life...no matter how shitty i think it can be. Who knows what will happen tomorrow??? When one cannot even say I LOVE YOU or I AM SORRY for the last time.

The adventures of Lionel the Lizard Hero

Our Hero sent Bobo an sms today.

"Hey Lisa! This is Lionel here! If you have friends who need help with computers. I am freelance! Advice is free. Have a wonderful day ahead!"

We ain't good with lizzies....but COMPUTERS!!!!???????

Lionel the Lizard Hero

On a cool and lazy Tuesday evening after a huge dinner at good ole Spize, we proceeded to pick up the car after the threats of the chao-pai uncle slapping a big fine on the SLK for parking outside Spize....


As we approached the car and I opened the car door..........i thought i saw shitloads of bird droppings near the car spoiler.....then i froze....literally....closed my door and started walking frantically to the back of the car......my worse nightmare came TRUE! .....the THIRD (i emphasize) time Lizzy came parking on my car and staring at me through its black beady eyes. This time it was an odd looking one.....like i mentioned...bird droppings...or like a small odd shaped rough branch...it was also clumsy as hell without the speed of the usual house lizard.


Luckily...Nono was shielding me as she was getting into the back passenger seat....she also froze and ran with me to the back...by this time i was rambling on and on...Bobo was like looking at me going...."what? what? what?" After finding out why we had such looks on our faces, she proceeded to try and look for something to chase the lizard away...she said "ok....i will find a palm leaf and try to flick off the lizard"...but time really slowed to standstill and it seemed that we were in matrix slow-mo action.

Then came the HERO named Lionel.......who walked past us and went: "hey girls! everything alright...?" And yes......girls being girls....or rather me and nono just went: "there's a lizard on the car!" And Lionel tried to flick Lizzy off with this handphone antenna (come to think of it...he had quite a long antenna!!! wondering if it was even a phone) but he went round the car once and Lizzy was still happily on my car!! Finally I think Lionel decided using his bare hands (a brave man indeed!) was the best way to chase Lizzy away...and finally Lizzy went back to where it belongs...the bushes!

Man...was i thankful....u know they always say that the thing you hate most always pops up in your face....Lizzy has been around on 3 different occasions.......wah liao...i wonder how many more!

Anyways...Bobo being bobo.....asked our hero "excuse me! are you single?" hahahaha....think we caught him off guard and he said...huh? again bobo went "are you single??" he went "yes! but i have friends" Using her "I love my friends" instincts....she asked him for his contact number....and guess what?????? He gave it to us....JIAN NAN REN........but he was cute lah...so never mind...forgive...hahaha....

And to end off the whole incident....we made a U-turn to Spize again......wind down our windows and gave him flying kisses for saving us from the terrors of Lizzy!

Hahaha.........no lah!!!! we not so HU LI JING............we just said BYE LIONEL!!!!!! Our hero.......something to share on our next gossip session!

Tune in next time for the return of the Lizard Hero!

Activity-Less on a Saturday

Sigh...the bloody weather...started off with a glorious sunny morning and now its pouring cats and dogs like every other hour. sunshine, rain, sunshine, rain...funny ah...like how my mood is like for the whole day.

Its been a long time since I spent saturday activity-less. Not sure if its the best feeling..morning started off with b'fast from whampoa market..the usual kway teow and pipin hot soya bean drink. nice. went online to chat with friends till about 12 and started feeling fidgetty..told myself i am heading to ECP for a blade session to burn off my gratinated gnocchi from the nite before.

2pm...started feeling sleepy and spoke on the phone to Mr. D till about 3pm...was zoning out. yawn.....

3pm...started to make plans for tonight's dinner celebration with Pearl.

430pm...buay tahan already. needed a nap. woke up with a bang literally from my dreams. dream that i was cornering at 80km/h and skidded and ran into a mama stall. Mr E suddenly appeared and pat my head and told me everything is ok. the dream was damn real. remember every single detail.

now its 644pm. spent the last one hour confirming reservations for tonight. hope my mama lucia italian dinner is good and reasonable. italian again! thinking if I should go valentino's next week...but already made the reservations.

have i spent my satur-DAY well??? honestly not used to the quietness that is droning the whole house. suddenly i feel so lonely. like no one loves me....cant wait for 9pm to come when i meet the girls for dinner. at least the emptiness will be filled somewhat. wish my tai-yee-ma is coming soon...think she is wrecking havoc on my system.

Public transport nightmare

I know this is going to sound like i live in princess world....but this morning as i boarded the bus....i instantly regretted not taking a cab...just to save that $5

I was packed worse than ayam brand sardines (at least they still swim in ketchup) rubbing arms and shoulders and boobs with the mass crowd of somewhat distant singaporeans...

today's experience made me wonder if i can ever go back to the life of regular bus/mrt trotting 9-5 office girl...sigh...i better work hard.....

comments from my friends...

During one of the afternoon eat snake lunches at botak jones.......my friends were grilling me about the men in my life.... anyway...some pics of the food at botak jones before their comments.


They concluded that ALL the men that has liked me before are BAD

Actually very true...and its bothering me...is that my destiny?

One year later.........

Haha....i forgot my username and password (AGAIN)

Anyways...as I was reading my past posts...

my 2006 resolutions...only met 25%...so loser

life is back to normal again...no more airy fairy romantic stories...but full blown reality

I turn 27 today!

Just 3 more years to the big 30! Sometimes i still think i am like a kid running around naked in my pampers. Reflecting on my last 27 years, its sometimes sad to say that I have not achieved much in my life...but at the same time when I look around myself, really glad I did not turn out to be a hooligan or something. Anyway, I spent my 27th b'day doing some of the most mundane things...like going to Mustafa to shop for my groceries and sundries. The most exciting thing was lunch i gathered at Pete's Place...first time i've been there..nice pasta. But pizza could do better. Anyways, I had a feast last night. Alan wanted to bring me to Lawry's but I turned the offer down...in the end I had a great meal of Jap food!
Check out the empty plates!

Oh by the way, that was the room we stayed in at the Hyatt. Nice but still prefer the normal Deluxe. He bought me a holiday package to Phuket. Wonder what it will be like after almost 2 yrs since I last travelled there. I hope everything is back to normal. Gotta start packing my bikinis! BOBO! here I come!
