Randomly listening to a song on the bus.

And yes, thinking back, I had been very silly. No more of those silly things ever again!

(and if only the bus would stop roller coasting...)

This is awesome ^-^

I really need to sleep better

And not have dreams every second of the night @_@

How sad is it when I slept 6-7 hrs every night yet I wake up only wanting to sleep more just coz every night is full of dreams and non rest? Zzzz.

Anyway, something new at work today. Know nuts about it, but will embrace it! 

And.. Some changes at work today. Mafan, but at least got everything in order.

AND some more changes to later. Let's hope nothing much happens later, since she finally got what she wanted and he is definitely not happy about it but no choice. Hopefully she won't make any fuss (which is nearly impossible, but one can always hope, right?)

And hopefully that's the end of everything because I don't think I can do 20 people, seriously.

And that concluded the very short but fulfilling Shanghai trip

6 days of trip passed by in a blur. Not too long, but not too short either. Just nice for us to walk until our legs maxed out each day. 

And the deepest impression that was left on me was not the elegant“華” China pavilion, nor the very impressive corporate pavilions, and no, not our own Singapore pavilion (though flashing our oh-so-powerful passport was a definite bonus). 

It was the Switzerland pavilion. Not just because we queued twice for the pavilion (horrors of horror!!!) but because the expo made me miss Switz soooooooooooo soooo much. Shanghai reminds me too much of Switz!! The fact that people were speaking french left right centre didn't help. Everywhere I turned, the foreigners were speaking french. Even the person I asked to help us take a photo spoke french! Imagine my horror when I realized that I got to put my french into use.. 詞窮 ah!!! :s Not to mention that the couple actually had limited english vocab.. With MY limited french vocab and jabbling around, it was a wonder they could understand me. It was more amazing to me that they actually didn't looked surprised when I spoke french to them! 

It was amazing to the local Chinese that we could speak mandarin, though. @_@ I supposed they just didn't have any expectations of us wahahaha. We had such a good time with the locals over @ Hangzhou! And they were so warm and friendly, making us feel like true tourists :D

The fish we brought back was an added bonus =D Can't believe they survived the entire flight of different temperatures, pressures and all the jostling and tossing around in our shopping bags and luggage. But apparently, it's either bad handling or the tossing finally got to them, for 2/4 fish RIP-ed this morning. :( SHOULD have listened to my instincts yesterday night and leave them in containers. But well.. At least I have 2 more now.

As with all trips, the best part is always making new friends and gaining new insight about the culture, and experiencing it first hand (at least, that matters to me). We made friends, I totally experienced and gained NEW insight - both good and bad. And this has spurred me on to make traveling once a year my aim from now on! The trip has made me realize that the world is way too vast, because we couldn't even finish the puny pavilions that was in all, just Tampines area + 2 sq km. I wanna walk the world and experience everything under the sun.. :D

First night in Shanghai~

Already legs v suan. How to finish the rest of the 5 days huh! :s

Walked the CBD - Orchard area of Shanghai today, and oh my, all the buildings are sooo pretty (:

Not to mention meeting Bettina for dinner! Been 2 yrs since I last saw her, and I really, really missed her. And we ordered :s wayyyy too much food for our dinner, which was..

http://www.llyh.com/

@_@ Food was nice, but we only finished half of it! Lesson no. 1: Never underestimate the serving of food!!

Bettina's flying off tmr, and we are meeting Yonghui instead. Let's just hope the next time I see her won't be 2 yrs later @_@

About time to sleep, because gotta wake up at 7!!

And it's a jumble of everything

Food, that is. 

From this afternoon's mocha to durian and peanut butter and iced milo and cream pasta and yoghurt - everything is seriously jumbled up. Wenbin must be wondering left right up down why I kept heading for the toilet during tuition.

Willie told me in the afternoon "wah now you must be happily waiting for 6pm hor" and I realized that today yesterday after all, is just another workday with tuition after that. Was only deliriously happy at night because I was not too nua but heading out! It's a damn shiok feeling to go out on a weekday midnight.. :D

Plane tmr later.. in exactly 6 hrs time. Time to sleep lo!

Please don't msg me until next tuesday. :D

Continuous display of no-conscience

And you continue to outdo yourself. Well done.

It is really amazing how you can refuse your own grandmother's request for medicine money, after kicking out her son from the company and refusing to pay for the phone line.

I don't care whether it's because your mum made you do it or what, but this is NOT the way to go. What the hell, without your grandmother you wouldn't be here today. Or maybe you did it because you know your father used to do all these.

How you can do that, seriously. That's way beyond my realm of reasonable knowledge.

I suppose this is what happens when you love someone. Keep going back to the person even though it hurts. 

And yes, dad was correct. No need to keep in contact with such useless family already. What's the point?

Pre departure reading

Was reading up the Do's and Don't's of flights, traveling etc coz it's been 2 yrs since I last flew and just wanted to check if I neglected anything.

Then I read the well being part and something occurred to me.

Please don't let there be any disturbance / turbulence of any sorts (choy!) during the flights there and back. Despite the number of times that I've flown by myself or otherwise, plane disturbance is really irritating.. And scary. 100x worse than that of a car, comparable to Viking.

____________________________

That said, is anyone remotely interested in the Pixar Exhibition? Realised that the ending date falls on the weekend after I come back, and I so do want to catch it..

Warm fuzzy feeling..

最好的朋友,是不需要説話,也會有很舒服的安靜。是如果要説話,都有說不完的話題。

2003-2010

The maiden post started out in 2003.

結果從以前到現在,我還是沒什麽改變。果然,用永遠不會消失的方法記載我的點點滴滴是有用処的。我的小小腦袋不可能裝得下每一段回憶。儘管有些是害怕別人會知道,所以隱約帶過,但是看到我自己記載過的人,事,物,我還是依然記得清清楚楚。發生的每一個細節,發生了什麽事,當事人是誰,結果怎樣,大多數都能拼湊出來。尤其是。。。

但這也未必是一件完全美好的事。這也代表所有的不開心,生氣,嫉妒,傷心,不滿,鬱悶,閲讀了以後又記憶猶新。儘管是2004年發生的,2005年發生的。 

我只能說,我還是那個完全沒有自信心的人。但自尊又是排得高高的,超強的。我說過,這兩者因該是全天下最糟糕的配搭。似乎有點成熟了,但卻是一種似有似無的感覺。

但最起碼我走出了2003-2007年份。

儅需要一個地方訴苦,但有得確保它不會説話。。秘密博客是最棒的!

-------------------------------------------------------
Free movie later! Thanks for the ticket =D One tiny break. Sometimes I wonder what I got myself into by being kind. 

Also sometimes, I wonder if I were too kind. Such that I am easily bullied.

Pseudo frostnip feeling

Happening right in the office. Wah lau, air con free de..
_____________________________________

Spent 3 hrs on Saturday answering 10 questions. And re-answering. AND more re-answering. @_@ If even the most tolerant uncle is starting to be tired of it, no doubt the rest of them are feeling the same too.. And if I end up being the same way at 83 yrs old, then I think I rather not live that long.

Went on the Circle Line for the first time on Saturday after complaining that I have not taken it since its launch in April. Found it surprisingly fast esp when going home from Suntec! It's definitely a route to take home next time should I end up at Suntec / Marina Square area near Suntec. =) Fast, and convenient!

Had a free dinner yesterday because *ahem* someone earned 1.3k after CPF no less! What a drastic change, from the first time I temp-ed all the way till now. I don't think I even had 1k before CPF.. :\ Nice seasonal food @ Sushi Tei. Healthy rice and cute Taiyaki ice cream! :D My only gripe was that I found it a tad too cruel to order the very NICE looking bluefin tuna that costs a bomb because the brother doesn't eat tuna!

And that, wrapped up my weekend very nicely. Not too many activities, sufficiently occupied. 

@Qiuyun - Yes K next sunday! Find people to take "shift" first before we can safely start.. :p
@Longhui - Welcome back EVEN THOUGH you were happily doing your hair while I was doing nothing walking ard.. :p

2 major relevations!

1) This morning, while I was bathing, I accidentally got water into my nose and therefore had a very miserable 5 minutes after that getting rid of the nasty feeling of having water down the air pipe before it finally cleared up.

It dawned on me that drowning is really not a good way to die. X_X

Therefore, thank you to whoever pulled me out of that pool so many years ago in some condo. If not, I wouldn't be sitting here right now.

2) I really have come a long, long way in wearing heels.. :D

This morning I wore the heels that I have not worn for some time. The first time I wore that for 4 hrs gave me a foot ache problem for one month after that. @_@ Today I hardly felt anything.. ~~~

TGIF -  small break before everything goes crazy again tmr.

Uh-oh

Time to keep myself in check! (after Shanghai)
