December 2007


Today 30Dec2007, I celebrate 1 year of blogging *religiously* …this is the only blog i started that lasted…at least for a year now :)

As for those reminiscing over 2007, that’s gotta wait. I’m beat over (1) driving the entire day with such horrible traffic (2) walking in high heels (3) trying to keep the hair in place (4) looking at cute guys  *opps sorry* just ONE guy…the best part of coz , he actually noticed and smile back.. Real neat!

All in all, the day is worth dressing up for. Met some ppl that I haven’t met for ages now….my God how they have changed….

Enough said..i’m going to pack for work tomorrow..might have plans..might not….for me, No plan is A plan :)

*Yawnnnnnnnn*..Nite nite….

I have to admit, I have been lazy. Too many things but too little time to jot down my daily happenings. It had been very happening, no doubt abt tat.
And for the record, Jude, I wasn’t mourning the death of my rabbit. I’m fine with his death now. At least he died of old age *comforting words*
Btw, there is a bunch of contracters piling planks of woods on his grave. But ok lah at least no one stepping on it : )

Half of my Friday was spent reading emails and surfing the net. 2 minutes to 2pm and I just can’t get on with this AS/400 thingy which I know how to do but I just side-track each time I wanna do it. Now I’m blogging….better TRYYYYYYYYY to do it before end of today…..

New year coming already…..got your resolutions yet?

In Loving Memory of Dino, the pet rabbit
19 Jul 2003 – 9 Dec 2007

Dino was much bigger than just a palm size. The picture above was when I first got him. He’s big enough for me to cuddle in my arm *but i usually don’t*. He’s as big as a new born human baby.  Its been a week. He’ll always be remembered.

Dino’s Grave

Its been not so great a week. My mind is clouded by a million and one thing. To top it all up, my pet rabbit, Dino, died on Sunday. Today, a friend just have to make my day but saying some shitty stuffs. There are millions ways to say hi if u wanna chat with someone…and that way ain’t the way i fancy. Call me petty or cranky or watever shit…but keep your remarks to yourself…i don’t need them – THANK YOU!

I’m suppose to call somebody but I haven’t got the mood for it. I hate this shitty feeling. Bothers me…and it really shows it when I was out yesterday, just couldn’t smile like i usually do…even the food can’t keep me smiling…more like forcing it….

I hope this network thingy resolve and i get to go airport tonite…i’d prefer to hang out there on my own for a while…or should i go to tampines first to meet the rest…a bit of quiet time now would be nice. But then again, airport will be flooded with human crowded…possibly meeting some familiar faces this time of the year where all the jemaah going to perform the pilgrimage. But I already give my to-do-list to cik ma for some good prayers :)

So far, its really a “Shitty Shitty Bang Bang” Day! I’m going to turn it around….to make it a happier day…

I need some Positive Energy….maybe these words might help.

The 8th present I received during office Christmas Gift Exchange. What does such things symbolizes? Looks like something good ya?

A calendar I got, infact the entire office got from Andrew.

The topic on relationships, love, marriage and courting and dating and all things abt love seems to be all over me lately. And its really freaking me out and beginning to piss me off. And I’m in a foul mood yesterday…why so? I just would say, it’s one of those bad days. Though I’m not really sure if those topics contribute to my tensed behaviour. I’m partly ok ..partly not. Probably 2008 is a better year. Let’s just look forward to that.

I had hell of a fun last week but this week is pretty sucky, its the total contrast…To begin with, the dress I found doesn’t fits me nicely..its little bit tight…just a lil’ bit. Otherwise I would have settled for it. Probably coz its cheap after the 70% off. Then the upgrade of 10mbps from Singnet which I’m so keen on but not eligible coz still tied to the one year of contract period. Chg Mgmt keep bouncing back thanks to SS who is so lor-soh. And another project which I dunno head..dunno tail and got Mr K just throw the balls on my court and expect me to know wats going on and complete it by next Friday…Damn! And for every automated job that failed in a day, I can hear my name being mentioned to figure it out especially from one particular team. And I’m getting pretty sick of that as well. Come on..do I have the word ‘Helpdesk’ tattooed on my forehead. The weather yesteday was as gloomy as my mood. But I had my fair share of a good trash out session. So much for trying to be a good friend and a good listener…i was also telling my stories….wat are friends for, if not to listen to each other’s problem and sorrow and not forgetting JOY. Having coffee at 7.30pm was a incredibly BAD IDEA, and dinner at 11pm was worst. I stayed up to almost 3:00AM and eventually drift away to slumberland…

Tomorrow will always be a better day….it must be…my new friend said so.

 

“Don’t hold your life, move on”, she said, for a moment, my world stop spinning…..my heart stop beating…

Indeed!…it has been a hell of a week, as I had mentioned in my earlier post. Just had a pretty heavy moderate lunch. And the outcome is pretty bad. I’m so SLEEEEEPY now….need to slow the pace down a little but then come Wednesday, colleague going on long leave again….its me on my own all over again. And there is Christmas party tmr lunch time, then there’s the Volunteer Dinner at ORQ on Wednesday night….so much food to even try to resist. So what to do, EAT Lor!!!

I just made tea…hopefully I get a little boost out of it coz I can barely open my eyes now *yawn*

And its only 3pm only…………..Zzzzzzzzzzz

In responds to Pak Lang’s comment, I have already explained myself to him ‘OFFLINE’. It is still Our Song i.e mine and you ok my dear buddy :) but I want Jude to know it also ok coz the meaning is deep. And for that, she is now official the new non-Malay speaking Anuar Zain fan *Enjoy the CD jude! Glad u love the songs*

So weekend is almost over. But it was heck of weekend I would say. Most of the days, I had dinner out. That is meaning to say, I go out most nights. But most eventful was Friday, Sat, Sun.

Friday was the bachelorette dinner for Shanon. Just me, shanon and Jude for a nice quiet dinner at Tiffany@Furama City Centre Hotel. Food was reasonable enough coz mainly I was very hungry. We had multiple rounds of good food, coffee and not forgetting my view was pretty nice also. I meant the guy sitting across the room with a bunch of middle age men. Some sort of dept gathering, I figured. But those uncles have to block my views half way through dinner time. So I stuffed myself silly and wrap it up with coffees. Then, we had one bachelor joined us, Pak Lang. He just knocked off work for the day. So the plan was to head home or share a cab out of convenient. But as always….knowing us, we sure have to do a detour – all the way to Boat Quay. Shanon managed to get a cab pretty quick earlier on. So Pak Lang was suggesting this place called Clinic. Being me, I’m totally clueless as to where it was. But I had the ‘green light’ to be out late. So I take every opportunity like that with open arms coz I rarely gets them.

So we walked and walked and walked, eventually there it was. CLINIC!!! I tell ya…it really is a freaking CLINIC setup. Initially I tot it was pronounced Clinic or maybe Clinique or whichever funky way such names are spelt. But facing me was the typical, Old Changi Hospital setup, with so many wheelchairs in replaced of the usuals stools. Those aluminium table, typical of a hospital and some sort of hospital beds in replace of comfy sofas. I had my doubts of where the wheelchairs come from, but Jude said they must have ordered it in bulk. Coz I imagine they probably recycled those from Old Changi Hospital hahahah!

Irregardless, we settled down. One wheelchair each. We had orange juice but Jude had one of those drinks they served in a drip, its called Sex on a Drip or something like tat. I told jude, for the price u are paying, drip it all the way babe!!! She seems to have a hard time finishing that coz imagine it goes drop by drop. The part I love most about that night was of coz the man in skirts ahhaha….A bunch of Scottish musicians, especially the Bassists. I just love Scottish music, the flute part. All of their song sounds like a happy song. The night was great..a new experience, a new place…a bunch of old gang spending quality time together….ahahahah….and dinner with shanon was simple fabulous. Don’t worry to much abt the wedding dinner ok..we’ll be right beside you to collect the Red Packets *evil grin*

So we head home by sharing a cab. Thanks to my ‘Brothers and Sisters‘ for dropping me off safely home :) *Thank U!!!!* But the Brother Pak Lang said, “We not suppose to do this often”….but that statement is VOID BECAUSE we did worse the night after. Here’s what happen…

Saturday was a day at the SPA day with the Sister Jude. I drove in the rented Suzuki Swift for my dental appt. There I met Jude for bfast and headed to Shangri-la Rasa Sentosa for our SPA treatment. Shall not elaborate on the spa, just to note that, there wasn’t any ’specials’ for the day =)

Enough of being like a ‘pancake’, we were famished by end of the spa thingy. Had our very heavy dinner+lunch at Breeks Harbour Front, then DECAF Cappuccino at Starbucks *later realized shouldn’t have drank DECAF*. It is very typical for us to move from one food outlet to another *that explains the excess weight*

The brothers called for karaoke session. We planned to have it next Friday but it seems those bunch of khakis just can’t live without us ladies *eyes rolling* Party World Orchard for a rollin’ good time. Half way through I’m close to collapsing on the KTV Sofa. I was darnnnnnnnnnnn sleeppppppppyyyy but those fellas kept singing and singing and me also TRY to sing…but it was heck of atime in there. The singing, dancing…salsa…candid camera :) Supper at Jln Kayu before Pak Lang drop everybody home. Had my shower and basically fainted almost immediately. Why I said last nite was worst, coz we only got home close to 4AM. I hardly do such thing except when the other BIG BROTHER is in town. But last nite was an exception, coz I was granted ‘unlimited happy hour’ by the Jedi Master aka Nenek ku yang tersayang. Thanks for the flexibility.

To thank her for the ‘license’ she issued me, I be the filial grand-daughter, daughter, niece, cousin today at my aunt’s kenduri…I helped Hikmah (our new domestic helper) with the chores. Do watever needed to make the function a perfect one. At the end of the day, I knew I did a good job coz one of my uncle’s fren said to me, “Thank you so much to you, I just love your hospitality, you are really good”…Wasn’t expecting that, but its not uncommon for him to say tat. I was just doing what needs to be done…infact I made every of the young ones helped out coz its my aunt’s (the host) kenduri doa selamat before she perform her pilgrimage at the same time, performing her duties with the Singapore Medical Team accompanying the Jemaah Haji of 2007. 

The weekend ended well, here I am bloggin abt it all while dear cousin Hawa is on my bed accompanying me :) I hope the weekday is gonna be as great!

Last but not least, I have to upload these pictures,
