905. mind your hygiene please

Joy of the day: PB still not bad... =P

Heard from the news earlier and the number of H1N1 cases in Singapore rose to 701. Ok... the spread is there but seriously, it doesn't necessary calls for unduly worry yet. But the way I see some companies react to the spread does seems a lil exaggerating.

In any case, just to save all the hastle of being quarantine, do keep yourself healthy. Do some exercise and drink lotsa water. At least should you really get the bug, you still have enough energy to fight the flu.

However, please please please mind your own hygiene level... I see men NOT washing their hands after their toilet break. Seems like they prefer to munch the bacteria on their hands as well.

Also for goodness sake, can the ah bengs and elders STOP spitting around! Fuck! Went into lift earlier and found a HUGE spit in the lift. Disgusting can! Seriously, if you wanna breathe the evaporated vapour from your own spit, you may go ahead without me. I don't want to have a share of that.

Thanks but no thanks.

Beginning to like this song by Nicholas Teo, 张栋樑 -- 沉默的瞬间. Nice!!!

还搞不懂 心痛是什么
似懂非懂成云朵
爱得汹涌 来不及闪躲
我却为她坠落

梦里我泪滑落几回
心软弱了 逃避是非
潜意识 我心碎
梦醒了我张开双臂
只愿为爱勇敢一点 不后退

有谁会在乎 有谁会想念
有谁能看穿我的笑脸
沉默的瞬间
寂寞却伴着我长眠
你走的坚决 枯竭了爱恋 我给的一切

梦里我 我的泪滑落几回
心软弱 软弱了 逃避是非
潜意识 我心碎
梦醒了 我醒了 张开双臂
只愿为爱勇敢一点 不后退

有谁会在乎 有谁会想念
有谁能看穿我的笑脸
沉默的瞬间 寂寞却伴着我长眠
你走的坚决 不后悔有

谁会在乎 有谁会想念

沉默的瞬间 寂寞却伴着我长眠
你走的坚决 枯竭了爱恋 我给的一切

爱得汹涌 来不及闪躲
我却为她坠落

904. good news

Question of the day: Watashiwa kakkoi desuka?

Good news: there's bonus annoucement.

Bad news: bonus got cut quite badly as compared to last year.

Well, at least there's still a lil to spare. Enough for crabs and a set of rollerblade!!! Yeah!!! As for the gym/duffel bag, have to really consider thoroughly. Need to save up for my year end trip as well.

Flip flop and the sandals can consider but it's not urgent. Might KIV till I think my bank account has spares. New briefcase... this will be extra buy but I doubt I will get it since mine is still in working order. Just that part of it had worn off. And hor, men's briefcase NOT CHEAP leh!!!

Oh yes, was thinking of getting a blazer. Will look more presentable during seminars and also to ward off the freaking coldness in auditorium. It's like a giant fridge there. But men's blazers are equally expensive as well!!!

So sad... It's like I need alot of stuff but too expensive to own. Perhaps, still not my pay grade yet.

Was out window shopping on Saturday and for the first time, Gucci's Fall Winter Collection bags caught my eyes. Sort of like these 2 bags on display in the Paragon outlet...

(images all taken from Gucci website)

Fall Winter Collection messenger bag @ S$1320.

Overall, the quality seems sturdy for heavy load but this has to be discovered after you really load it up. Waterproof. The 2 front buckles are a lil disappointment. It's partial made with plastic. Will be perfect if it's metal. Also, there is no zip or additional safety button beneath the flip cover. This makes expensive stuff inside a lil too easy to be pick-pocketed.

And look at the price lah!!! Wah kaoz!!! If I buy it, I'll have nothing left for daily expenses. Crazy!!!

Fall Winter Collection belt bag @ I think around S$800++???

Think it's unisex (or at least I insist it is unisex 'cause I totally love the design). 2 compartments that's large enough for a standard wallet, my Omnia, bunch of keys and mp3 player. If you are bringing overseas, will be good also to bring the passport around. Waterproof as well. The monograms are extremely clear and sharp. Totally love the full metal buckle lar!!!

But, paying $800++ for a waist pouch... too expensive...

Saw this on their website and think it looks good for a young executive. Fall Winter Collection briefcase.

Not too sure on the price though as didn't see this in the Paragon outlet. But looking at the trend of the prices, it should cost no less than $1500. Should be waterproof as well. Hand-carry type. My 1 month take home pay...

*sigh*

I can't afford them. Looks like it's time for alternatives. No way I'm getting the real thing, unless I struck ToTo first prize, sole winner. Or if there's 1 more zero at the back of my monthly pay cheque. Before the decimal place of course. Haha...

Time to do a search at Zinc for alternatives. Think the waist pouch will come in handy in Taiwan.

903. no mood

Rant of the day: So many things to buy... So lil money to spare...

Things didn't go quite as planned. Wanted to wake up early for lunch buffet but couldn't lift my eye lids in the morning. Very sleepy...

Planned for cycling in the evening but was cancelled. Dear is sleeping on my bed now. Really very no mood now.

Hope this video cheer you up like it did to me... World's smallest dick!!!

Hahaha...

902. things to buy

Rant of the day: I wanna fly in SQ!!!

Haven't got any annoucement on our bonus still. Pretty afraid it will be too low for me to do anything much.

If I got a pretty satisfied sum, will get the following:
1) Crabs at Red House East Coast (promised mum on our last trip there that will bring her there again)
2) Set of rollerblade with full protective gear (because I'm afraid of falling down)
3) Hand carry gym bag (can be used as my hand luggage to Taiwan)
4) New Urban Male sandals (my current pair cannot make it le)
5) New Urban Male flip flops (dear says very comfortable)

But also need to set aside some for my Taiwan trip in December. I can't wait. Dear and I pretty much like this hotel. The 7-11 is within walking distance and so is the town area. Pretty good reviews online as well. Prices are pretty much affordable too.

We're thinking of booking the hotel and air flight tickets via agency to save all the hastle. What you think?

Oh yes. Still need to get more contact lens. Sorta enjoying my looks without glasses.

But my current pair (Bausch and Lomb Daily Disposable) make my eyes damn dry. Heard many recommendation for O2 Optix Air monthly disposable. Still thinking... I can claim part of such purchase from office lah...

Also, thinking of buying a netbook (those mini notebook running on Atom processor) so that I can bring to Taiwan in case I need Internet. Besides that, will be great to bring to school when discussing projects. Can claim part of it from office as well. But after claiming from office still not cheap wor... Should I?

Dear is going for "princess" looks recently.

She bought a total lace top yesterday from Iluma and that alone cost $96!!! Ouch!!! But considering a full lace top, and it looks really nice on her. Ok lah...

Playing with hue and saturation with adobe.

See... Good thing about having perfect eye sight is can wear sunglass and don't need to remove contact lens!!! I must do lasik (bladeless)... when I'm rich... *sigh* When will I be rich in the first place?

901. friday night

Rant of the day: Must lose weight!!! Gambatte~~~

Some stuff taken yesterday.

Bugis is all set to be even busier now. New mall, Iluma, now open but believe it's not officially launched. Still pretty quiet though.

The mall is actually just opposite Parco Bugis Junction and next to Bugis Street. The bridge that links to it is still under construction.

Say cheez =P

Dear bought me the Gamachan coin purse that I'd always wanted! Muacks!

Went to 记得吃 Hongkong desert store at Liang Seah Street. Totally in love with their desert.

Must try the durian puree with pomelo!!! Even the sesame paste taste wonderful!

900. tgif

Quote of the day: I think I brained my damage...

TGIF!!!

Friday is so colourful!!! I'm sooooooo looking forward to my study leave next Wednesday to Friday. Enjoy being away from office. But it's study time also lah... At least not doing the ridiculous work right?

No news on our performance bonus this year. Hope it's not bad news... I wanna buy my set of rollerblade with protective gear lah! Wanna learn how to rollerblade and to sweat it out!

Somemore, I wanna eat crabs again at East Coast! Mmmmmmmm...

899. screaming out

Rant of the day: I can't wait for my contract to be up...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Just wanna scream a lil to keep my sanity. There's so much work this week and seriously, I'm feeling sooooooo dreadful to wake up for work.

And to the person who has so many things to "comment", thanks for all the "useful" feedback. Your feedback has just landed us even more work on top of the existing workload. To an experience presenter, the requested changes are soooooo negligible that with or without does not make much difference.

And also, if you want a presentation to capture audience attention, lively, funny, engaging, clear and concise, please don't set all the unreasonable restrictions. I think I know far better how to speak in front of a live audience than you do. Professionalism is subjective. Don't impose your view on professionalism against mine. If you think you way works, go ahead and present yourself. We shall see if the audience falls asleep.

I can read strictly from the script very well and if you want me to do so I can do it. But I guarantee you that more than 50% of the audiences will "doze" off and will NOT be listening to whatever shit that is coming out from my mouth.

Sod off...

Anyway, I will not stay in this office for long. Once my contract is up, I'll leave... So perhaps you might wanna start looking for a capable replacement. And I doubt you can find one so easily.

Good luck!

Love this old song by A*Mei. Heard it on radio a few days back and still wanna hear it again.

898. packed with shit

Watch of the day: Must watch "Dance Subaru"!!!

I am damn busy for the whole day! Was packed with one shit and another till a point I felt like just sitting there and scream. I wish time can just pause for a while and lemme complete my stuff one by one.

*sigh*

I really cannot finish the work... So much work that I cannot breathe liao~~~

Told dear what happened earlier in office that causes the surge in work. Her reaction was pretty much how I reacted this morning. Totally stunned...

Seriously, if you are new to the job, pick up the skills and processes fast is also a skill. Mistakes are unavoidable but there is also a limit of how much other colleagues can save your ass.

Anyway, hitting the gym again but this time round, it's during lunch time. Someone commented I've gained weight even though the weighing machine shows otherwise. In fact, I've been maintaining the weight quite well. Hahaha.

But seriously, jogging with an empty stomach during lunch hours can be pretty demoralising. Very hungry la!!!

Perhaps due to the stress, sweating a lil in between working hours does relieves a lil load off my mind... temporarily...

This is funny...

897. saved

Rant of the day: Deric wanna "hump" my leg!!!

Dear saved me!!! Muacks!!! Her colour printer managed to squeeze out some ink to print out 2 copies of my written assignment in full colour. Phew~~

Since all the stuff are completed and left submission on Monday, the weekend was to rest enough. It's payback time for my sleep debt. Think I've been sleeping until 10am on both days and in between the day itself, dozing off on bed.

Mum should be back on Wednesday and this means I can get more sleep in the morning. Yeah!!! Now, I'm the only one waking up 45min earlier just to feed Deric. My brother sleeps like a log and I can't leave the dog hungry right?

But at least he does share a lil of the household chores.

Anyway, since it's a short relaxing period before I start mugging for exam, went prawning with dear on Saturday night.

Dear concentrating on getting herself some prawns.

Here's the bait -- chicken heart. Think we should use live bait instead. Peeps using living earthworm catches alot la!!!

Prawning is not exactly an interest for me. So while dear concentrates on prawning, I do some cam-whoring. Yes! I can cam-whore pretty well. Haha...

Next time gotta bring some chips to entertain myself while dear does her prawning. Yawnz~~

Starting my lunch time gym tomorrow. Hope I can sustain the regime.

896. colour print

Rant of the day: Busy busy busy...

I need colour print... Wanna get help with printing in colour but it appears not a valid idea.

1) Siew Hoon is not coming to school on Monday.
2) Colour printer in office's library is down till further notice.
3) Dear's printer might not have enough ink. Have to try.

Have to go with (3). My last hope...

Think the durian season is here!!! I wanna eat durian!!!

Anyway, getting fat and to avoid further accumulation of more fats, had signed up for gym in office. Planning to jog during lunch time. Cannot slim down nevermind. At least don't grow fatter. Haha...

895. best words

Rant of the day: Colour print... Colour print...

"I think he (referring to me) more good looking than his brother. He is the kind to bring home for parents to see."

Best words I heard today... Haha...

Anyway, presentation is over. Pretty good comments. Finally, effort paid off. Written portion is more or less completed. But pending final vetting.

Chiong ah~~~

And then it will be mugging time. Seriously, hate exams... I'm not those who take the books and memorise text kinda person. I rather die man...

Let's destress... New release by 2PM!!!

894. note to whoever-should-be-reading-this

Rant of the day: 年轻人，火气不要那么大……冷静。小事而已。不需要出言不逊。

To whoever-should-be-reading-this

Learning how to use the new photocopy machine can be done during working hours. Unfortunately, beyond 5.30pm is no longer my official working hours. Please teach me the next working day. I have better and more important things to do in my life and working beyond my office hour in this company is NOT my top priority.

Thank you very much.

From
Eric

893. 佛都有火

Rant of the day: Sick and tired of all the unfair seminar roster... Feel like resigning...

我不是一个有耐性的人。但是那从前的我来对比的话，我确实成长了许多。脾气变得比较温和，忍耐度也比较好。处事待人也渐渐得比较圆滑。但是仍然有很多能进步的空间。

Dear在我成长过程扮演了蛮重要的脚色。朋友也是具有一定的影响力。加上工作上的历练，慢慢的也有多一点点耐性。

不过，在我还没能完完全全变得100分100耐性的人之前，请不要故意刁难。因为目前为止，我的耐性仍然是有限的……不要自讨没趣，可以的来热火我！佛都有火！！！

Anyway，沉重的话题撇开。我是超爱温岚的。火辣的身材。动听的歌声。我要学唱这首歌！

“相信付出会有代价……”

好真的一句话。

892. wisdom tooth

Rant of the day: Tiring...

Dear's left side of the face swells so badly. It's hurts me seeing her like this but things will get better. And there's nothing much I can do besides accompanying her as much as I can. At least she will not feel lonely in the midst of the pain.

I know how painful it's like for wisdom tooth because I've already extract all my 4 wisdom teeth during NS.

Honestly, the pain is almost unbearable. Imagine the dentist have to cut open the gum right at the back and smash up the wisdom tooth before picking out pieces of the tooth. You tell me painful or not?

The painkillers don't exactly works well for everybody. Most of the time, after taking the painkillers, you will still feel the throbing pain at the stitch on your gum. It's the thud thud feeling... Really irritating.

And the other irritating part of the wisdom tooth extraction is the endless bleeding. At least 2 days of bleeding. To make the situation better, have to keep sipping on ice water.

But the good thing is... after the extraction, the damn wisdom tooth is gone from haunting the gum. No more prolonged pain while chewing. No more sleepness nights (except during the 5 days of MC). No more frequent Listerine wash just to numb the gum!

So dear, must endure the pain ok! Muacks!

891. too busy

Rant of the day: Hungry... Why am I feeling hungry so fast today?

I'm too busy to blog anything...

1. Busy with work.

It's endless shit in office and yet some people commented that it should be quite "ok" now since the "peak" is over. But since when did the peak ended? After transmission peak, we have planning phase, publicity period, workshop period, testing period and then the cycle repeats by itself!!!

So has the peak ended?

2. Busy with trying to get well

Still coughing here and there and my throat still hurts in the morning. Yet, people still schedule me for the longer part of the seminar. Lemme talk until I die... Nevermind la, Eric can go on talking until he die...

3. Busy with working out... at late night!!!

IRAS Night Cycling is back! Woohoo~~

Totally enjoy the freedom I got when cycling on the road at night. But in return, a pair of aching legs and a sore butt! *wobbly wobbly*

4. Busy trying to win free tickets to Taiwan

Right. This is hard!!! Went for the most kuku audition. But it's fast though. 2 days of audition with the original plans to take in 40 contestants for semi-finals but after day 1, got in more than 40!!! Decided to up to 50 contestants but this will mean the 2nd day audition can only take in less than 10.

Right... I'm scheduled for day 2. How crap... Plus many contestants that got through were from previous superstars competition. So next time might as well state in terms and conditions that only past contestants can join and will pick from there.

5. Busy with school assignments

Not 1 but 2 assignments. 1 oral presentation and 1 written assignment. Heng... We are almost done with all!!! Gambatte!!!

Anyway, dear had her wisdom tooth extracted today. Hurt so bad when I see her shiver in pain. Her treshold for pain is really low... No joke... This pain will go on for 2 days at least. Hope she can get better soon.

*hug*

890. back to dancing

Rant of the day: Total sianzation...

*This is a really backdated post in draft previously*

I wanna to go back to my dancing stuff just to have fun and sweat it out... But... I've got no time for it and no one really still have the passion to do it with me.

On the lonely cross road again...

Anyway, tired and sleepy but satisfied faces after the last hip hop dance.

Even after changing the colours of the markers and extending the length on the floor so that even stupid people can see, these people appears stupidier than what the gahmen had expected.

Either they are really fucking blind and cannot see the markers on the floor or they cannot even understand simple English on the posters pasted on the glass doors. Step aside and give way lah ass holes! People from inside cannot come out, how you go in leh? Use your brain... use your brain!!!

On a lighter note, Deric went for his first grooming session.

Well just to trim his nails and remove some of the excessive fur underneath the paws. He wanna escape from the groomer. Look at his cute expression when he looks out the glass panel at my brother!!! Awwwww...

889. 好歌play back

Rant of the day: Weather so warm lah!!!

时间转得太快，好歌也一下子被新一代的歌曲给取代。就来回味经典好歌！

苏芮在1983发的《跟着感觉走》。哇！！！我的出生年份！

黃小琥的《不只是朋友》。超好听的！*陶醉*

万芳在1993电影《新不了情》的主题曲，《新不了情》。刘青云好年轻哦！

是好听的咯！！！

888. lemme tio ToTo

Quote of the day: Shut up and sit down!!! -- taken from the AWARE issue

Post number 888!!! HUAT AH!!!

Lemme tio ToTo first prize (sole winner) with prize money more than million dollars can!!! 'Cause I'm so fucking tired with my life now...

Seriously, I don't like to drive with people in the car. 'Cause everytime I drive, there's comments on how I do it.

Since I cause passengers to feel discomfort when I drive, then next time don't call me drive can? Because I feel very irritated everytime I hear such comments. It's not that I'm still learning how to drive. I've already got my license for more than 5 years! Don't treat me like a student still learning how to change clutch...

Pissed~~~

Prefer to drive alone... Really... So, must tio ToTo so that I can buy a car for myself. Everyone else in the car to shuddup!!!

Shit. Haven't start on the written assignment. Ooops =x

Aye... Don't care lah. Take things slower now since nobody in the project group appreciates the reason and rationale of meeting deadline. Set deadline also fuck care attitude. So I also fuck care la. Slowly do.

Whatever will come, will come... Because I'm also tired of taking up the role as a group leader le.

So, must tio ToTo so that the degree is not that important anymore. Just pass the modules will do. Don't need to score so well because I might not need to earn that much anymore.

It's back to hip hop tomorrow! I need to inject life into my life. Else, inject ToTo winnings into my bank account...

Thank you.

887. spoilt brat

Rant of the day: We might not get bonus... So sad...

A spoilt brat spoils the mood of the meal. Really wanna turn around and give that screaming toddler one tight slap since the parents are useless. Can't even control the boy. He just kept on screaming and screaming when he wasn't given the cup of cold drink.

I was ranting a lil loud in the store that if the boy is my son, I will give him 1 tight slap. And guess what? Think the dad can't withstand the embarrassment and gave the boy a slap, which stunned the mother.

"Why you slap him?" exclaimed the mother.

Eh come on la. That spoilt brat need to be taught a lesson man! He must learn that not everyday is Sunday. He can't get everything just by screaming. That is not how the society works.

Scream and Scream... Even after the dad slapped him, he screamed even louder!!! KNN!!!

Anyway, I've sent in application for 《超越星光5懈可击》新加坡PK赛. Haven't receive any confirmation on my slot for audition. Just wanna go try it out lah. Ain't pinning much hope on it. Haha...

886. first seminar

Rant of the day: Sibeh tired la...

First seminar went on pretty smoothly. At least I've got quite a few praises.

Aye aye... Back to school projects!!! I'm tired...
