1103. before october comes

Rant of the day: I need to swim more!!! I so fat lah!!!

I know I haven't been maintaining my blog promptly this year. Think I'm getting lazy bah... Yes, I'm feeling but what's new? Haha. Perhaps let the pictures do the talking...

 

Hari Raya dinner gathering at Sheila's place. Gawd! She bake fantastic cookies lah!!!

 

 

Congrats to Louis and Su Lin! Wish you a blissful marriage forever and ever.

 

 

Feeling tired everyday at work. I need coffee like almost everyday!!!

 

 

Dear still loves Pizza Hut. I only love their drumlets. Haha... Photo collage created using iPhone app.

 

 

Finally found a place for my RMIT badge. It now sits nicely on my lanyard.

 

 

Went F1 watching from one of the best view and it's FREE! Haha.

 

 

Upcoming in October includes:

• MORE physiotherapy (which I didn't quite enjoy because sometimes it does get pretty painful).
• Bintan again! I need the sun, sand and the sea. Not forgetting the massage!
• Mother's birthday coming up. And lil brother's too. Shit... What to buy???
• Halloween!!! Where to this year? Club?

It's Friday in a while (TGIF) and the first day of October. Hope October will be a good month... *pray*

1102. f1 singapore

Rant of the day: What a lazy Sunday... lolx...

I'm there I'm there! But not with tickets. Definitely can't afford the tickets and I wouldn't spend thousands just to watch cars fly by. Dear actually took her dad and I up to her office meeting room to watch! Bird-eye view of the event minus the extremely loud and unbearable zoooooooooooom sound.

So we actually got one of the best view of the race for free. Hahaha... But honestly, the excitement didn't last for more than 30min. After a while, it was pretty boring unless some action on the over-taking...

1101. 难堪消息

Rant of the day: Lovin' the "gao sai" from Thailand!!!

一个突如其来的Facebook团体对话，让我发现了一个令我难堪的消息。为什么一个认识多年，又曾合作过的朋友，竟然结婚时邀请了班上熟悉的同学却“忘”了你？曾经的喜怒哀乐还真的完全变成了“曾经”。突然好像是陌路人。

很可笑对吗？

“联络不倒我”是不可能的事。虽然我的手机号码换过，但是我仍然和其他的同学保持联络。如果有心找（随便问任何一个同学），不可能找不到我。

不过幸好我们不是close到不行的那种朋友。不然我一定伤心死了。

谢谢你“忘”了我。谢谢你帮我省下了红包钱哦。

1100. time flies

Rant of the day: I wanna pack my bedroom too... lolx...

Time flies isn't it? 2 weeks ago, I'm busy booking in for my annual ICT and now, I'm out and ready to kick my ass back to office. There is only 1 word to describe my feeling now...

.

.

.

.

.

SIAN!!!

.

.

.

.

.

Seriously, it is the best word I can find to describe. Short, simple and sweet. And most importantly, straight to the point.

So now, time to pack up and get ready to sleep. It's gonna be a good week (I hope).

1099. heart breaking

Rant of the day: And I didn't get much rest as what I had planned... FML!!!

Truly shaken and definitely heart broken. Deric was at his usual self, running around the house from kitchen to living room to bedroom. But I guess he forgot how huge he had grown and dashed right underneath my bed. Heard a loud thud but initially thought that he had clumsily knocked into some cupboard or bed frame. But after a while, we saw chunks of fur flying around the house and it does not appears to be the daily fur dropping. After some quick inspection, we saw a cut and poor Deric was bleeding...

After purchasing some antiseptic water and cotton, mum did a quick clean up and we examined the wound. It seemed way too serious to heal by itself and we rushed him to the vet.

They did a pretty nice job stitching it up but Deric had gotten a large portion of fur shaved for the minor operation.

Aiyoh my clumsy boy. Heart pain leh... Now we need to restrict his daily movement to prevent tearing of the stitches since he is so hyper active. He is back in his old caged up area in the kitchen. Sad... And we need to start finding solution to block his access to the bed frame underneath.

Anyway, dear bought me a new IT gadget and I'm lovin' it. It's a Sony MP3 player designed for jogging!!! Though she refuse to say how much but I know it ain't cheap.

Loves~~~

And say goodbye to the loyal Nokia 6100. It has officially declared its retirement from service.

Now I need to buy a new non camera phone for my reservist. Looking at the Sony Ericsson G700 but it's NOT CHEAP lor!!!

It's back to work on Monday.

*sigh*

1098. catch up时间

Rant of the day: Tired and extremely sleepy...

两个礼拜的回营受训，一眨眼就过去了。很快的就必须回到工作岗位继续忙碌。原本是到星期五的。但是训练提早结束，所以也就放我们一天“休息日”。哈哈！

虽然这次因为脚伤而无法参与多项训练，但是我也是非常非常累hor！！！前天只睡大概四个钟头！可能因为缺乏睡眠而现在有一点咳嗽。

*咳*

当然，这种一年一次的东西也是个很好的catch up时间。就是这种时候，才能了解朋友的近况。例如Vincent结婚了，而且儿子也要生了！杰胜加入了房地产行业，月入还相当不错。Elvin也在讨政府组屋，但连连失败。Alex仍然是无业游民，而且完全不会变老或胖！Zach交了女朋友了。认识了一个新的队友，Koh Bin（华语因该是“徐斌”），而且他是Manhunt finalist！

朋友们，下个回营受训见！！！Till then……

另外，我那时线上申请的免费旅行袋张挂牌（luggage tag）来咯！

由KLM航空公司提供的张挂牌完全免费。太好了！促销有限。送完为止。请点击这网址了解详情。

1097. 我毕业咯

Rant of the day: Expo seriously need a good and high multi-storey carpark!!!

几经波折，我终于毕业了。过去的两年半时充满着喜怒哀乐的。有很多很多的美好回忆，也有很多很多懊恼的事。不过到最后，我还是挨过了这漫长的日子。

熬夜赶工……考试担忧……废寝忘食……聚少离多……

毕业，也就是人生故事里的一个句点。但这也代表了人生故事里的另一片单元的起点。我人生的新篇章就要开始了！请拭目以待！

1096. 一句“算了”

Rant of the day: 虽然用意是好的，但我无法完全的苟同。

好一句“算了”。

那我也就“算了”……因为真的，关我的屁事！反正说了也只不过换来一句“算了”。那就“算了”吧。我ok的。

1095. worn out

Rant of the day: 1 more working day...

I'm mentally tired. Worn out in fact. Work now is soooooooo "taxing" (working in the right board is like this). Last year's nightmare is back for me to clear. With so much work on hand that I can't complete, the reservist starting from coming Monday for 2 weeks ain't helping. I can't imagine the amount of leftovers when I'm back in office.

Can't get a deferment from reservist as my injury ain't that serious to warrant that. But at least I managed to get excuse from all activities that requires physical training involving my legs! Not bad. And I don't need to put on boots too since wearing them will hinder my recovery. Hopefully my injured ankle survives the 2 weeks in camp. Hahaha... I'll be grateful if the condition does not worsen.

Dear's birthday approaching. What should I do/get this year? I cooked for her last year and I don't think I should do the cooking... You get what I mean...

Anyway, haven't been taking photos of Deric. Here's one... "Gimme food and I'll give you peace..."

So cute lah he...

1094. baby dawn

Rant of the day: So sad... It's gonna be Monday soon. =(

These are the rare few moments where I carry an infant!!! I'm always fearful of carrying infants 'cause I'm scared of dropping them on the floor. I'm quite a butter-finger ya know... =P

Say cheese!!! Awwwwww... Baby Dawn was sleeping. Think my "king koil" arms are way too comfortable. *yawn*

Congrats to Huey Weng and Chien Yong! Your baby Dawn is soooooo cute!!!

Anyway, the first month celebration was like Childrens' Day. Almost everyone brought their kids along. So I think only Rex, Fang Ying and I don't have any. We still young ok!!!

I still kor kor!!! Hahahaha...

1093. i'm back

Rant of the day: The medical centre in my camp damn fark up... Seriously...

I've been back in Singapore for a few days already after the Hong Kong trip but had been procrastinating on blogging the stuff. Quite a number of photos taken and pretty lazy to put them up on this post. If you have my Facebook account, do get it there instead.

Probably put up my favourite photo from the trip. It's my first time to a Disneyland!!! Lovin' the back drop.

Just a few things from this trip:

1. Wrong timing. It's the China and Hong Kong summer vacation. So there are lots and lots of visitors to many of the places we are visiting. And not that I'm being racist or what... I have nothing against the mainland peeps but they are seriously rowdy and rude. Bad bad experiences with them when we were at Disneyland.

2. Since it's summer vacation period, meaning, it's summer time! Blardy hot, humid and the sun was scorching!!! The moment we stepped out of the hotel, I'll start to sweat!!! Dear and I were almost cooked to perfection. I prefer medium rare leh...

3. Hong Kong has got pretty bad air quality. Fog... Fog... And more fog... It's like the foggy period in Singapore when Indonesia is burning up! But the thing is, in Hong Kong, it's on a daily basis (at least for the past 4 days when we were there). Luckily dear and I ain't asthmatic.

4. It's a pretty expensive place to go. By day 2, we had exhausted and even over-spent our planned expenses for the 1st and 2nd day!!! And we didn't even visit any high class restaurants lor!!!

5. Their buildings in Hong Kong are seriously old. I felt like I'm visiting Singapore in the 60s. Gawd...

6. Their dim sum is good. And there's this particular dim sum house (一点心) that serves extremely good dim sum at affordable prices! Must try their har gao (虾饺). Damn nice lah!!! Go google it if you wanna find out more about this place.

7. Hit up Granville Road if you are looking for slightly more affordable (as compared to their shopping malls) trendy clothes and accessories.

8. We found Food Republic food court at the Citygate Mall!!! The same food court we have at Vivocity. But their food is more localised. Like what we learnt in class, glocalisation...

9. Their Wife Biscuit (老婆饼) is heavenly!!! Get those from Wing Hwa!!! They have an outlet in Hong Kong International Airport. So it's easy for you when departing the airport for home. Grab and go.

Will I go back to Hong Kong? Hmmmmmmm... Lemme think about it. I didn't enjoy as much as I was when I went Taiwan. Thinking of somewhere not so expensive for my next trip. I still haven't got the chance to visit Myanmar and Vietnam but I got a strong feeling that dear wouldn't wanna go to these places. What about a long Star Cruise trip? I haven't board the large vessel too!

Anyway, a cool Indian rendition of the Shakira's Waka Waka.

Though I don't understand anything but honestly, not bad... Anyone got the song?

1092. in less than 8hrs

Rant of the day: Tired... But excited...

In less than 8 hours, I'll be on my flight with dear to Hong Kong!!!

But before that, settled the units to select for my BTO selection tomorrow. And on the other note, VERY VERY RIGID AND INFLEXIBLE OF AGE DEE BEE!!! After understanding the situation that dear and I faced, they practically say they can't help us except to get someone authorised to select on our behalf. No doubt the officer was pretty nice but the alternative offered ISN'T EXACTLY AN ALTERNATIVE!!! All these troubles are caused by the board and I do feel exception handling by the officer is required.

But all she say is "even if the CEO also cannot help to make this special arrangement you are requesting for."

Alright... So since the CEO of AGE DEE BEE cannot even make this decision to help buyers, than I strongly believe the minister should be able to decide.

In any event, after the payment made, the decision makers will get my email.

And for now, I can finally relax and go for my trip. Go through the things we need:

Air tickets... check!

Hotel booking... check!

Disney entrance tickets... check!

Passports... check!

Itnerary... check!

Currency... check!

Clothes... check!

Spare baggages... check!

iPhone charger... to be pack tomorrow morning.

Camera and charger... check!

Toiletries... left my toothbrush.

Sunglasses... in my car!!! Shit... must remember to bring.

More or less, I'm done. But dear haven't start packing because of her tight schedule and she's back home packing now. Jiayou baby!

1091. 言之过早

Rant of the day: Tired... And it's only a Monday... FML~~~

我们还是没办法达到完全的共识。不过言之过早。就如dear说的，走一步、算一步。等到星期三再说吧。现在还是专心地想一想去香港的行李要带什么……

还是relax一下。听听叮当的这首超震撼的歌《我是一只小小鸟》。

李宗盛的词曲真的没话讲。好极了！！！

我是一只小小小小鸟。想要飞呀飞，却飞也飞不高。我寻寻觅觅，寻寻觅觅一个温暖的怀抱。这样的要求算不算太高。

 一个人走得越多、看的越广，对身边的很多要求也就越少……你的要求高吗？

1090. tired

Rant of the day: Another week past...

I think I'm falling sick... Been feeling weak for the past few days but just not letting peeps know. Perhaps due to the unpredictable weather. Suddenly very cold. Suddenly very hot.

Anyway, about 6 more days to Hong Kong but the weird thing is I'm not getting the hype. Maybe too many things going on in office and out-of-office. For example the flat selection thingy... Check feng shui (风水). Check palmistry. Check this. Check that. And it doesn't help when dear is OVER excited about the flat thingy.

*sigh*

Tiring process but don't get me wrong. Not that I don't enjoy the selection process with dear but rather, all these hype and selection work are taking a toll off me mentally.

Then on the graduation day. Regalia rental and collection. Guest tickets. ICT crashes with graduation. Need to plan on the arrangement. So much work just to graduate. Aiyoh...

Only exchanged for HK$ yesterday and I haven't start packing. Haven't buy travel insurance too. Dear keep assuring me on the travel insurance thingy but no actions from her side leh. So is she buying or not? Sian lah...

Watch this to perk you up like what it did to me...

Awwwwww... so cute...

1089. 我也很想

Rant of the day: Exchange rate for HK$ not bad leh...

结婚本来是两个人的事。Keyword是“本来”。结婚也不是两家人的事了。而是两家人 + 展现/表现面子的事。我还没结婚就一大堆的压力。真的不敢想象结婚后天空会是怎样。钱钱钱……我也知道我赚得不多，但很多东西不是我自己想、我说就算。

我也很想找便宜的求婚戒指……得体像样就好。

我也很想找便宜的四点金……简单典雅就好。（反正又不会拿来带在身上）

我也很想找便宜的酒店举办喜宴……体面大方就好。

我也很想找便宜的婚纱像馆……哪儿里拍不重要，把夫妻拍得好看就好。

我很想很想很想budget budget budget……我也知道我钱包能力有限……

谁不想？？？

要面子，就很难便宜。但是我这样想并不代表另一半也这么想。她有她的想法要求。我有我的看法定限。而Mother，你再这样给我一大堆的压力，我迟早会有婚姻恐惧症啊！！！到时后，我压力过大，突然不要结婚怎么办？

*叹*

又会有谁了解我现在的痛苦？想找人倾诉又不知该找谁好……

PS：有时候会想如果另一半是没有要求的女人多好。也许压力会减少许多。
