365 ++ days later...

I still remember this site where I can pour almost everything out. It has been more than a year ever since I last touch or visit this site. Beautiful memories and the "unpolluted" me during that time set in. SO SO SO MANY things had happened to me and my surrounding people. It's really hard to summarise all in just one post. The ever most regretful thing I ever did was to know this person... it had left a dark and gloomy patch in my memory. Though there were sweet moments that we spent together, but the first move was a wrong one. The end was a abrupt and sad one. I hate to remind myself of what I've been through and is more or less glad or rather relief that things are almost over and came to a stop (not really FULL stop). I can't bear, at times. His ever mighty GOD can give him strength as and when he needs.. well I don't give a damn. As one would probably had guess, religious issue is the root cause to everything. Secondly, the way I get to know him was a bad one as well. Sigh.. all in all, sweet, bitter, sour moments are what I've went through during that time with him. He is just one guy who doesn't want to be tied down and commit to relationship other than his only mighty GOD. DAMN it. (to be continued)

Tick-Tock

This was written on 18th July.

The time now is 4.40pm. I almost dozed off at my desk just now. Dotzz, really cannot make it. Had oily fried rice for lunch, that’s why I’m feeling sleepy now. And that’s also the reason I’m writing this now. Already Wednesday, yeah! I can’t wait for weekend to come, and my pay day too. Less than 2 hours from now and I can start packing and get my butt off that chair. Tick-tock., tick-tock, time passes so slowly when I have no work to do. I have finished what I ought to, furthermore, senior out for meeting, can’t get more work from him. This is the best time to slack. I wonder if I’m doing the jobs assigned to me at a too fast pace? Spoiling market?? Haha I’m not too sure. Let’s see how it goes. Gonna make some tea to keep my eyes open for the next 2 hrs.

Encounters

I have tons of things to write down here, but don’t know where I shall begin with. Many things had happened since. My convocation on 10th July was a good one. Took many memorable and invaluable photos. I was jumpy whole day and night, in the graduation gown under the hot sun. I guess this would probably be the only chance to jump around crazily in campus. Well the photos will be uploaded soon and I will add the link here some day soon. Haha.

After that night, in damn early morning, I was thunder-stricken to learn about things that are happening around me when I was chatting with some friends over msn, and yet I didn’t realize or notice it at all. How insensitive and unobservant I was at times! Well, I felt rather disappointed and disgusted at that instant. My brain was flooded with news, be it good or bad to any parties. Anger rose in me, how I wish things had not happened in that way and maybe it’s better if I’m not let known. My sixth sense had proven to be correct for certain parts. Still, I thought it’s a blessing in disguise for me. At least, I wouldn’t do anything that is unsuitable for some circumstances and I’ve come to look at things from more perspectives.

Waking up in the next morning was a torturous one as I stayed up late the previous night to be fed with updates from friends. I was restless for the rest of the day but my mood had become better. I’ve learnt to let go and take things as the way they are now. These are parts and parcels in life. I believe gaining such experience will make me a stronger and a more happy person. I just keep telling myself never repeat the same mistakes again. Chances are only given to each individual once. If one misses it, that’s it and there’s no turning back. What will be, will be. This quote has remained in my heart ever since. I follow my heart. I couldn’t be bothered already.

Alright, I’m going to jot down of what I’ve encountered yesterday. It’s really a disgrace to Singaporeans and foreign talents. I was totally disgusted and it’s a humiliation to Singapore’s world-class reputation. Okay, this was what happened:

I went to Pan Pacific Hotel for a talk on investment. It was a free talk and it came with a complementary buffet-style dinner. Well, everything seemed attractive and interesting. Of course, the seminar’s topic was my keen interest, the free buffet was a bonus hehe. The seminar was a resourceful one though most of it I couldn’t understand as I’ve never taken any economics-related modules before. I know nuts about them. Already hungry, I went out of the seminar room to have my free dinner. Okay, a long queue, typical. So, I joined the queue to get my food. The queue was moving slow and I don’t know the reason. When I’m moving closer to the buffet spread, 2 guys in theirs 50s barge in front of me. Obviously they were jumping queue and yet they gave me a couldn’t-be-bothered look. What the hell! I was getting frustrated so I told them politely “I think you guys have to queue up right at the back”. The first old man ignored me, maybe he couldn’t understand English at all. But he went to the seminar that was spoken in standard English! Hmm, maybe he came for the food only after all… It doesn’t surprise me. Well, the other old man replied, “You just go first,” Ok, I can’t be bothered already since I’m getting hungry and cold.

What’s more astonishing was while I was queuing, two aunties who are speaking in canto joined the queue behind me. It’s their loud voices that caught my attention. Guess what? Both of them were already holding on to their plates fully piled up with food ( and I mean the piling height was considerable high) and they joined the queue again, hoping to get their second round. This is a new way I’ve never seen before: eating the first round of serving while queuing up for the second round at the same time. Brilliant idea!! I was wordless..

Another instance occurred when I was taking my food at the table. In the midst of doing so, a couple came beside me out of nowhere. The woman said, “Excuse me,” Using some hand gestures, she was sort of signaling me that she wanted to get the food which I was getting then. Oh my, not another! Fury rises within me, but I controlled myself. “Erm, could you take from behind me instead?” *god damn it just don’t cut in front of me, I had enough*. I heard the man beside her saying out loud just audible enough for me to catch, in a prc-speaking-english accent, “So this is Singaporean’s way!” Wth! “So you are form PRC! No doubt.” This is indeed very ironic.

Three encounters disgusted me by a great deal. I had only abit of food and left in a fit of anger. I went across to the opposite eatery and paid to have my food instead. It’s heaven I tell you. Watching from a distance, I could still see the queue on-going and those CMI people, to think a number of them are executives. Never ever judge a book by its cover. Shame on all of them!

This morning, I tried taking bus 147 for the first time to my workplace. I thought it might be faster, but turned out otherwise. Caught in traffic jam on two streets. I was late by ten mins for work. When the bus reaches Boon Keng area, a familiar figure boarded the bus and went up to the upper deck which I was sitting at. What a coincidence, he’s one of the director from my company. I never really have any pleasant experience and good impression of him since I joined the company. He was the one who criticized on my results during my job interview. Oh ya, he is one of the interviewers. He nodded his head and greeted me. I did likewise. He then asked where I lived which I replied as well. Then, he flipped his newspaper and back to his own business. I closed my eyes to rest, and also not wanting to look at him. Upon reaching our destination, he got up suddenly and just walked off down the stairs to the lower deck. He didn’t look into my direction or what. I thought it’s basic courtesy to just gesture a little that it’s time to alight, some sort of it. But he never and the moment he got off from the bus, he walked all the way straight in big strides. *Hmm, so what if you are the ONE of the directors??* To me, he’s just a normal PRC fella. Typical PRC fella. No big deal.

Hee, despite all these, my mood is still good as normal. Such encounters would only let me know people whom I should take more note of only. I should thank him instead for letting me have such chance to get to KNOW him better. Woah, this is a long entry.

Hop Hop Hop

*This was written on 9th July*

“I’ve resigned,” these two words came from him today. How I wished that was just a joke to kill time. After lunch, this colleague of mine came to my desk and secretly told me about his resignation. I was dumbfounded. He made me promised not to tell anyone, and that includes my friend, ay. He said he could trust me of not spreading it in the office, but not ay. Still recovering from the shock, I shot a few why and when-questions to him all at once. He only tendered his letter of resignation last Friday, 6th July’07. Boss’s secretary only saw the email today (9th July’07) and a few aunties were then informed. News spread fast, especially in office. Next month he will be leaving. It’s almost a month from now. A few jobs have been offered to him, he still contemplating though. Telling me that he wanted to have a job that is more geotechnical based, and not structural based. True, I agreed he is more specialized in the geotechnical aspect since he had been under Dr Chew during his phD research study. Oh well well, he’s a good person so far, someone nice to crap with and lunch with. One less person now, and I wonder who’s going to take over his seat. Hmm, one less nice colleague to hang out with during office hour really have an impact on me ya. This is so disappointing. Hopefully we still can remain in contact. Tomorrow will be convocation, gonna take photos with him for sure.

Next Chapter

Ooo.. 3 months ago since i last post. I've graduated, unofficially. 10th July will be the official day and it's a day I'm very much looking forward to. Used to complain that I've never get to wear any graduating gown before. My sisters all did, after they graduated from Kindergarten. Not that I didnt finish my Kindergarten education, but I was enrolled to a so-called Preparatory Year (to prepare for primary 1) instead of moving on to K2. So, it will be the first time I'm going to experience the feeling of graduating.

It's my 2nd week so far, in this new company. Happy to get employed for my first interview. But regretted not going for more interviews before making a decision where to settle down for good. This, I really have to thank my Prof. Yea, and I'm going to. Yesterday went to one interview which is down the same road where my office building is. Convenient sia (wrt to mu current office location but not my house). I think not bad. Only if it has better offer, then I'll probably consider.

It's gonna be a brand new chapter in my life and I know that tons of unexpected things are going to happen. Hmm..more to be updated.

Sweet Little Dream

wanna pen down these phrases before I totally forget about it. In the dream that I had last night, I could still remember that I got this notebook as a surprise gift. It was a surprising one because the gift came from this unexpected person. Photos of this person are attached inside it. The photos have borders made of those black trash bag material. On one page, a small little white note card was clipped onto it. 3 phrases were written on it.. can't rem the first two phrases though. the last phrase was a sweet one. haha. dotzz... weird sweet dream

Night at the Museum

It has been years since I last went to National Museum. I always have the impresssion that the museum is spooky. Thanks to DB's weird and innovative suggestion. After spending half of my saturday in school doing FYP, I set off to the museum. Was told to go to Dhoby Ghaut and the museum will be at walking distance from there. So I waited at the busstop for bus 188. Was feeling damn sian and tired, most likely due to the scorching weather. After a few minutes of waiting, I couldn't stand it any longer and took cab down to town. Upon reaching there, I was welcomed by the newly furnished museum which looks completely different from the last time I've seen it. I'm lost. Couldn't find my way until DB came to my rescue. She had finished visiting the 3 exhibition galleries, namely History, Maria and Living. Both History and Maria were closed for the day (6pm) by the time I reached there. Left with Living, which consists of four separate smaller galleries "Food", "Fashion", "Photography" and "Film". It was a pity I reached too late because I had hunger pang not long after that. So I visited the rooms swiftly, with DB as my tour guide. When I was in the "Food" gallery, the video on all kinds of food in the past was showing and it made my stomach groan even more. Gosh, I need to eat. Haa.. dinner time la.

Reached Clarke Quay, a night spot where I also have not been there since long time ago. It is already been redeveloped into an attractive and interesting hangout place. Witnessed the reverse bungee in action. Managed to record a video of the whole process. Will hope to try it in future, for once.

Saw the ceiling that looked like UFO saucer. Interesting design. Heard from DB that it is some place where people can have their meals over there. The ambience must be very good, considering eating under the stars. haha.


Next, we visited the neighbour -- Liang Court. Woah, I seem to be very SK for all the places I've been to so far for that night. That's the shopping center where I visited quite frequently during my childhood days. There is a supermarket "Meidi-Ya", where you can find all kinds of japanese products at "japanese prices" (aka ex) and japanese restaurants . Had my dinner over there, not forgetting my dessert too -- double scoop ice cream cone, Mocha and hazelnut flavours. The hazelnut one is terrific. yummm..

Blessing in Disguise..

Came across a letter from ** when I was tidying up my study desk. Had a mood swing after that. The letter was a bad one, something that I do not want to be reminded of. Bad memories of the past, dated some time ago, flooded into my brain instantly. I can still vividly recall what exactly happened during that time. The letter reminds me of your arrogance and hypocrisy. That was when I realised the other side of yours. I do not feel regret at all, nor has my time wasted on you. In fact, you gave me chance to discover this real side of you. How truthful it is. "What comes around goes around", as quoted by you. I find that it suits you more. I have set my defence barrier against you since, to not hurt my fragile heart anymore. Facing you is no more challenge to me, instead it's a feeling of disgust. You are no longer in my influential zone..

Eve of 2007 New Year's Eve

Little card can brighten up my day, especially when it comes from my student. My committment and effort paid off =) Now, I can understand how a teacher feels for little sweet things done by her students for her. Haa, but still no desire to take up NIE yet.


My sis's bday today, too busy to get her anything this year. But my sweet "little" DB has been sewing a blanket for her since 4 weeks ago. Effort comes from her, money comes from me. haa, fair enough. No choice, I have no time to sit down and sew stuff. Always feels like a zombie when i reach home everytime. Have a big function later to attend. My cousin's wedding dinner. Not very close to her, but the whole family is invited anyway. It's going to be a grand and magnificient one. It's held at Suntec Singapore ballroom 2 AND 3! Really a BIG function. Haven't decided on what to wear yet. quite abit of things to prepare and be done with. nvm still have time. let's see...

3 days to Christmas

Watching TV now, there is this thai horror flick showing later on the tv. will watch to see if it's watchable, else will have my beauty sleep soon. The weekend is coming, so fast, week by week, this school holiday is too fully packed with fyp. Though it's tiring for my partner and me, but actually I do enjoy the process pretty much , and also the interaction with other fyp mates. This project had been taken by males throughout the past 5 years. Well, AY and I decided to break the history record and take up this challenge *haa trying to encourage myself*. Imagine you have to carry bins of asphalt and sacks of aggregates each weighing 30+ kg. Not only that, it comes with manual compaction *yes, i mean MANUAL* of the asphalt slab using a proctor hammer that weighs 10kg. Not once, but 40 times at one go by each of us. Total 80 times for one cycle. About 6 cycles. So each of us actually hammered 240 times! What the hell! This figure really shockes me right now! What's next? the asphalt slab (80+ kg) has to be lifted and placed into the machine where testing is carried out. Fork lifter can't entirely do the job for us, we need to push the sample that is hanging on the forks until it fits nicely into the machine. Of course, with our limited strength, we can't do much but to seek help from the guys present in the lab. Normally, we are able to grab CS, JH, HS and DL. Really thanks to these guys. If not for them, I should already be dying and dreads fyp.

Did one testing today. However, our sample failed even before we started to conduct the test. The slab was hanging in the air for a too long period, about 45 mins. We couldn't get it fit into the machine. The guys had been trying real hard. I was using my mighty strength to manually turn the fork lift handle to lift the slab up, as well as to release it down repeatedly until the guys managed to fit that stupid thing in. Damn it, we did it by force in the end. CS and JH stamped it with their feet. It was a funny sight, should have taken pictures of those. Will try next time, haha. OK, though finally get it done, that thing failed us, the results was far worse than one without reinforcement. The slab was already bending in a wide U-shape before it even decided to succumb to us. Great! Not satisfied with the outcome, it finally decided to get back to us by giving us a failed one. fine fine fine, nothing to say. We were partly to blame as well, too anxious to carry out the test that we did not allow a full 24 hours for the asphalt slab to cure first. * Hope the RS student would not come across this blog*.

Had a small chat with CS and DL at the back of the lab today and during the car ride in Andy's car this evening...
Bloody hell, think my brain is failing me right now, my eyes too.. can't carry on. Have to tuck into my cosy bed very soon after this. Have to go back lab to do compaction tomorrow in the morning so that test can be carried out after the long weekend. Shall continue again soon. Selamat Malam!

Sesudah tiga minggu..

It was more than a month ago since i last blogged. wanted to blog a few times yet the idea was dropped in the end. 3 weeks had gone by, so fast, yet so fufiling. My mini cg VivoFeast (cheers to 6 years of friendship), ktv session (quite an eye opener and memorable one, not forgetting tian tian ye ye) and my Treetop Walk outing (walked 10.4km in total for 3.5 hrs) at MacRitchie! Got to know my results before the actual release date due to a leak of the url, whatever, hope it's the real one. Quite satisfied with my results, got my 2nd A after spending 7 semesters in sch (yeah no joke). Hey, that comes with much amount of hours and interest put in =) Meanwhile, FYP is still on-going..

"Fire Dragon Club"

Had my last tuition session today before resuming in December. A good 3 weeks break to catch up with my school work and exam. 3 papers for this semester only but it spreads over 3 consecutive days. Not really that stressed up, not because I'm very confident or fully prepared, but maybe because of the never ending deadlines that force me to do my work consistently.

Oh ya back to my tuition session, I had a small chat with my kid today and was shocked by what he told me."I used to have my gangster of friends when I was back in my previous primary school" he bragged. I was dumbfounded and asked how big was his gang. "10 to 20 people under me. I'm the leader of my gang. My gang was called 'Fire Dragon Club'." diao, it's NOT that SMALL. I thought merely 5 kids at most. Somemore, he got a name for his gang! stylo sia. 2 shocks so far. He commented that he find friends who are much bigger size than him to join his gang (he is rather skinny and standing at 1.40m tall, at most), so that they are able to fight for him. I almost laughed.

"Hmm, so what kind of bad things you all did last time?" I asked him. "We steal money. I find the fastest runner in my gang to run quickly past an old lady and snatch money from her. We keep our STUFF somewhere. I cannot tell you where, later you will tell my mother one." Oh my god, I was stunned, the 3rd shock I got from him. He was P3 then, aged 9." Then have you ever regretted what you did?" I asked him again. "Ya, regretted, feel abit bad about it." *You should! Bullying a helpless old lady sia!* "That's why I got public caning back in my previous school. Many teachers know that I was very naughty. Last time got one person ka jiao me, I asked my gang to hold him and throw him into a big bucket and close the lid. My fat friends and I sat on the lid, don't let him come out!" More shocks. haha until now, I still find it very unbelievable. How naughty can he be, I really can't imagine it. What was I doing when I was 9 years old? Playing with my Barbie or watching my cartoon "Captain Planet", "Transformer"? Gosh, kids nowadays are advancing very fast, really fast. Their childhood is filled with violence and thrills, as compared to my innocent carefree one.

Be Happy =)

Exam is around the corner and I'm not ready for it. Nothing much has been done, except for my Virtual Island webby. 4 more deadlines to meet. I have been so damn moody this whole week (pms? haha, no idea). When I woke up yesterday afternoon (no problem with you eyes, ya it's afternoon), I realised it's all not worth it and everything is so bloody damn foolish and childish. Wake up, wake up! I need a wake up call. Yea, I just had one. Ppl say I'm industrious, hmm I don't agree totally. Cause I need to work extra hard in order to be on par with others. Sometimes, I feel that I'm working hard and not working smart enough. Next week will be a better week I hope, despite the hectic schedule lining up for me. By end of next week, I will be free from tuition, so I'll have more time for my own stuff. I want to be happy, once again! Applies to you too =)
