On the month end day ~
The period I dreaded most is approaching soon.
Two of my team mates are going for long holiday soon & I will be facing the war alone.
Busier & more OTs...
My colleague asked me why do I look so haggard today.
I hate my dark rings!
No matter how many hours I sleep, I'm always tired & my dark rings will never disappear.
Maybe I should consider the BB cream.. LOL
In the office today, I saw someone who I didn't get to see for more than a month.
That person seems to appear only on fiscal month end closing day.
Seeing that person always reminds me of Miss Butterfly.
Miss Butterfly is one of the managers in my company.
She is pretty, elegant, capable & has a very good figure.
So envious!
She's only 3 - 4 years older than me if I'm not wrong.
What would I be in 3-4 years time I wonder....
“You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.” ~

Windows 7
"Win 7... Win 7...Win 7... Win 7..."
@@
This is the word I heard most lately at work.
Our team needs to run 3 reports for Win 7's orders everyday!
See how important this is to us.
Decided to change my OS to Win 7 next week & will feedback how good it is then.
Woo Hooo... I'll get to use it before the whole world get to as it is not launch yet.

Buried Alive ~
These few weeks I was buried under a pile of works.
Knockoff time is very ambiguous to me now.
My workaholic cells are triggered.
Had a small getaway over the weekends with the Simmies at Genting for a break
Though short but we had great fun.

Heavy Heart
I'm very tired this week.
I had at least 6 hours of sleep everyday but I'm still tired.
Couldn't focus on the things I was doing & when mistakes made, self-reproaching took place.
Didn't feel like doing anything & feeling restless all the time.
You wouldn't be able to catch me smile often these days.
If you saw, it was actually just my lips smiling, not the heart.
Can someone tell me what happened to me?
“Confidence is a very fragile thing, and it certainly is something that has to start with your mental approach and your ability to respond and stay focused and not allow negative thoughts to enter into your own mind. When you're successful, it's easier to expect success. All of a sudden it's not there, it becomes more of a challenge.” ~ Bill Cowher

You reap what you sow
Buddhists believe in Cause & Effect.
What you did in your previous life will determine your destiny in the next.
If you were an evil man in your previous life, you have to pay for it by suffering in this life.
If you were a Samaritan in previous life, you will be rewarded maybe by being born in a good family & well liked by everyone in this life.
Personally, I think it is not justice.
Why do we have pay in this life for what we don't even have a clue on the evil deeds done during previous life?
Why don't we get rewarded on something we did good in this life?
So if my life is poor & miserable but I'm a Samaritan, I couldn't enjoy my reward & will remain poor & miserable in this life.
Doesn't make sense right?
It's like when you strike lottery but can only get the money when you die.
What's the point?!
I really wanna know what kind of sins did I committed in my previous life & have to atone for them now.
I'm a Buddhist by the way ~

The moon I couldn't reach
Ever wanted something so badly but knowing it's difficult or almost impossible?
I always think what's yours, is yours..
However for the first time, I have such a strong desire to fight for what I know it's not mine...
yet at this point of time I have no clue how to.
I also realised having strong desire doesn't mean you will have the same amount of courage to fight for it.
“If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it.” ~ Brendan Francis

Shopping Amatuer
Met an old friend for dinner whom I didn't see for years.
My pure motive was just catching up but part of his motive is to make me accompany him for shopping.
I told him he had chose a wrong companion.
I'm not a good shopping companion.
Most importantly, I hardly shop with guys.
Know each other for 11 years, we mentioned this for more than once today.
But I feel that I do not know him enough.
People changed.
People's lifestyle become different too.
He has LV wallet, Armani watch, wear Zara Shirt, shop in Raoul, Pedro...
Me?
This Fashion.
I'm a member & they are having 50% sale....
I'm not a brand fanatic for those who know me.
Shopping with him is a very different experience compare with the girls.
I always thought guys' do not have much varieties for clothes, that's why many became transvestites.
I realised I was so wrong!

Trust
Just came home after watching the movie "Orphan".
Except the good acting skills & the final twist, the rest was really not fantastic.
With the overused of tense music & false alarms, the movie was tormenting.
In that movie, I thought the distrust between the couple somehow triggered the tragedy.
When a couple lost the trust between them, everything seems like a lie or "just you over reacting".
Having a paranoid relationship normally will lead to pain & suffering only.
You can destroy trust overnight but it requires years to build it back.
“Trust is like a vase.. once it's broken, though you can fix it the vase will never be same again.”

Handling Aliens
Man & Woman
Alike yet different.
Two different species from two different planets
Learning to speak each other language.
Learning to live together in harmony.
The relationship between them is so fragile that it breaks easily if not handle with care.

Maintaining Your Love Span
Learned a new phrase from Karen today.
"Love span"
Indeed, some people have short love span & some have long love span.
I hope majority is the latter.
Nevertheless, speaking from an inexperience me, I think in the end it still takes two to maintain & determine the length of your love.
Act within my own consciousness & remain faithful to my love one are part of my relationship guidelines.
Maintaining a relationship is easier to say than done.
Coz our heart always act faster than our brain huh.
ねえ、聞こえる？
私の気持ち。。。
私の心の声。。。
私の切望。。。
私の期待。
ねえ、待ってる。
おそらく、間違える。
誤解しますか。
教えて下さい。

Buying Time
Gotten 2 days MC from doctor.
Spent another sum of money seeing doctor.
The money that my company gave for my medical is really not enough to cover my dental + medical cost.
I'm not complaining..I'm really not.
However, with the money I've spent... I bought myself two days.
I always think we, human always like to buy more time for ourselves using money.
Yes, time can be bought with money.
Not the time that we already used though.
Like how we always spend more money on express bus/train to buy that extra time we saved.
But did we fully utilize that extra time to make it worthwhile?
“City people try to buy time as a rule, when they can, whereas country people are prepared to kill time, although both try to cherish in their mind's eye the notion of a better life ahead.” ~ Edward Hoagland

Too Sweet For My Wallet
My Dentist Day had finally arrived.
My dentist is so popular that I always have to wait months for him to see me.
Seeing him this time I knew my wallet will bleed.
Indeed but more than I had expected!
He scolded me that I had ate too many sweets, causing the decays.
Not one, but three decays all on my molar teeth.
My bill before discount: $385
My bill after discount : $300
Almost fainted.
After my expensive dental fee, I went shopping alone.
With all the tempting sales going on, I controlled myself extremely well & decided to go somewhere free to spend my time there before my class starts!
I went to the National Library & I simply love library!
Without spending unnecessary money, I got myself three interesting books. ^^
After my class, as per planned, I headed towards to my beautician's house for my monthly facial.
I just couldn't save my money on that!
When did Casey become such a spendthrift?
Today's spending:
Dental: $300
Bread: $1.50
Pancake: $1
Facial: $55
Total: $357.50
Oh no! I spent so much in just a day.
Oh yes, bread & pancake are my breakfast & lunch.

The Legend That Never Dies
Honestly.
I don't know all his songs but my favourite are always
"Heal The World" & "You Are Not Alone"
Classic songs ever.
Just happened to saw another of his MV just now & was so touched by it.
It does not have touching melody like the two songs above but the impact is amazing.
Please read the lyrics too.
It's really sad & sudden that MJ has left us...but his legend never dies.
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah
What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaah
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaaaah
Hey, what about yesterday
(What about us)
What about the seas
(What about us)
The heavens are falling down
(What about us)
I can't even breathe
(What about us)
What about the bleeding Earth
(What about us)
Can't we feel its wounds
(What about us)
What about nature's worth
(ooo,ooo)
It's our planet's womb
(What about us)
What about animals
(What about it)
We've turned kingdoms to dust
(What about us)
What about elephants
(What about us)
Have we lost their trust
(What about us)
What about crying whales
(What about us)
We're ravaging the seas
(What about us)
What about forest trails
(ooo, ooo)
Burnt despite our pleas
(What about us)
What about the holy land
(What about it)
Torn apart by creed
(What about us)
What about the common man
(What about us)
Can't we set him free
(What about us)
What about children dying
(What about us)
Can't you hear them cry
(What about us)
Where did we go wrong
(ooo, ooo)
Someone tell me why
(What about us)
What about babies
(What about it)
What about the days
(What about us)
What about all their joy
(What about us)
What about the man
(What about us)
What about the crying man
(What about us)
What about Abraham
(What was us)
What about death again
(ooo, ooo)
Do we give a damn

Timing in Life
I met Lady A just after I came out from the washroom after work.
We were so happy to see each other that we forgot to press the lift.
We chatted along the way to the bus-stop.
She met Lady B at the bus stop, who I didn't know.
Lady A said hi to Lady B.
After a while, Lady A saw her bus coming, bidded farewell to us & boarded the bus.
Lady B turned to me & started a conversation with me.
Voila!
I made a new friend.
If I had left the washroom one minute later or if we didn't miss the lift...
There would not have any Lady B.
Fate is such a mystery.
Every minutes & every seconds counts...
As if they are pre-planned.
I can still remember there were many such encounters between us but were neglected.
The seat, the lift, the bus-stop, the food courts & the back entrance.
“There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance.”~Amelia E. Barr

さようならを言いたい。。。
Maybe it won't be the same anymore.
The anticipation is no longer there..
Though cruel sometimes, but it didn't matter.
Anywhere, anytime...
私の願いが君の幸せだけです。。。
本当にありがとうも言いたい。。。
”ではまたね”を言ってはいけませんでしょう。

この気持ちは守りたい
More than one person had ever told me that I'm defensive.
The first person who told me this is my ex-manager.
Before he told me, I didn't realize it at all.
However, come to think of it...
If I don't defend myself...
who will?

The Arrow From Behind
When a person's age grows along with the number of years in the company...
She will try all means to protect herself & her position.
In order to display her knowledge gained from the experience...
she will show no mercy.
Even if she has to backstab you.
If not, she will lose her value.
I was backstabbed by her.
That's the working life in a MNC.
No flexibility as well.
Always the same question, "What's the process?"
Without the process, nobody knows how to work anymore.
“The crucial variable in the process of turning knowledge into value is creativity.” ~ John Kao

Beautiful Beginning
While tidying my mailbox, I found a draft mail which I have saved it since 4th Sep 2004.
I found the first lyrics that I ever wrote for Yida's competition but I didn't find it good enough to enter so I never send it in the end.
However, at that time & even till now, I still couldn't think of a song title for it.
Anyway, enjoy Casey Chan's first lyrics that inspired her for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th & more to come.
Hopefully, one day, Casey can have her first complete song.
頑張ります!
Lyrics#1
詞: Casey
曲: Yida
時間走的太慢
一分一秒不停旋轉
一點一滴把愛轉淡
時間讓愛變慢
讓心也越來越孤單
告訴我應該怎麼辦
好想回頭看一看
從前多麼的勇敢
愛你不覺的孤單
請你 將我心用愛填滿
不再讓它空虛寂寞孤單
把它變成賓紛又燦爛
讓我 再愛你感覺不難
不再讓我的愛變的茫然
也沒有遺憾
時間走的太慢
一分一秒不停旋轉
一點一滴把愛轉淡
時間讓愛變慢
變的孤單
應該怎麼辦
好想回頭看一看
從前多麼的勇敢
愛你不覺的孤單
請你 將我心用愛填滿
不再讓它空虛寂寞孤單
把它變成賓紛又燦爛
讓我能再愛你感覺不難
不再讓我的愛變的茫然
也沒有遺憾
感謝你將我心用愛填滿
不再讓它空虛寂寞孤單
把它變成賓紛又好燦爛
讓我 再愛你感覺不太難
不再讓我的愛變的茫然
也沒有遺憾
有你在身旁
怕遺憾
時間慢 愛變慢
會孤單 讓愛填滿
看一看 多勇敢 不孤單
不太難 不茫然 沒遺憾
Lyrics#2
幸福過後
電話聲响起時 我知道那一定是你
一句溫暖話語 直往心中幸福區域
不管天涯海角 只要你在身邊就好
心里甜甜滋味 因為是你所以加倍
想說一聲謝謝你曾給過的一切
雖然所有的美夢已經被你破滅
從今以後只能選擇一個人逛街
最後只希望你能好好和我告別
電話再次响起 我知道不會再是你
沒有溫暖話語 心中圍繞孤單區域
不管天涯海角 只要你還過的很好
心里苦澀滋味 因為是你所以加倍
Lyrics#3
思緒都是離開我的你
開口的是我 離開的是你
亂了思緒也亂了我的心
失去你是我的決定
心卻偷偷為你哭泣
告訴我這是錯誤的決定
不知不覺 心說服了我
我的錯誤決定傷透了心
原諒我的一時衝動
也原諒我曾經放棄你
因為我發現世上對我最好的人 是你
Lyrics#4
你對我的好 我看不到
你對我的溫柔 我也感覺不到
盲的是我的心 傷的卻是你的心
再一次選擇 離開了你
那一次的決定 決定和你分離
虛脫了我的心 卻背叛了你的心
放棄你的我不停責怪自己
心裡腦海出現全部還是你
原諒我的一時衝動放棄你
這一次不再輕易的放開你
因為我最愛的人原來是你

I found the first lyrics that I ever wrote for Yida's competition but I didn't find it good enough to enter so I never send it in the end.
However, at that time & even till now, I still couldn't think of a song title for it.
Anyway, enjoy Casey Chan's first lyrics that inspired her for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th & more to come.
Hopefully, one day, Casey can have her first complete song.
頑張ります!
Lyrics#1
詞: Casey
曲: Yida
時間走的太慢
一分一秒不停旋轉
一點一滴把愛轉淡
時間讓愛變慢
讓心也越來越孤單
告訴我應該怎麼辦
好想回頭看一看
從前多麼的勇敢
愛你不覺的孤單
請你 將我心用愛填滿
不再讓它空虛寂寞孤單
把它變成賓紛又燦爛
讓我 再愛你感覺不難
不再讓我的愛變的茫然
也沒有遺憾
時間走的太慢
一分一秒不停旋轉
一點一滴把愛轉淡
時間讓愛變慢
變的孤單
應該怎麼辦
好想回頭看一看
從前多麼的勇敢
愛你不覺的孤單
請你 將我心用愛填滿
不再讓它空虛寂寞孤單
把它變成賓紛又燦爛
讓我能再愛你感覺不難
不再讓我的愛變的茫然
也沒有遺憾
感謝你將我心用愛填滿
不再讓它空虛寂寞孤單
把它變成賓紛又好燦爛
讓我 再愛你感覺不太難
不再讓我的愛變的茫然
也沒有遺憾
有你在身旁
怕遺憾
時間慢 愛變慢
會孤單 讓愛填滿
看一看 多勇敢 不孤單
不太難 不茫然 沒遺憾

冲动
很感激 这城市拥挤的交通
让你我 还能多相处几分钟
人潮中 怕失散所以轻轻拉你的手
一刻不放松 不放松
忍不住 想要爱你的冲动
不确定你属于我 会有点寂寞
你给的幸福 在我心中自由走动
抚平我 每一个伤口
忍不住 想要吻你的冲动
不确定我的执着 能让你感动
我只能相信 自己感受不怕失落
关于你的一切 我想要比谁都懂
我的心 是被你设定的闹钟
提醒我 想你的时间不够用
为什么 平淡的事情现在忽然生动
是你改变我 改变我
你是情人 还是朋友
还没勇气 想得太多
你的世界 如此辽阔
我会在哪个角落

Work From Home Day
In order to get prepared for the H1N1 outburst, I was one of the candidates to work from home & feedback the problems encountered.
Sounds good huh?
Not that good actually.
Working from home will tend to make you slack...
I overslept.
The weather was so hot that your laptop felt hot too & would tend to move your focus to the fridge.
I couldn't remember how many times I had opened my fridge today.
When that happened... tendency of getting fat is very high.
Adding in my mum's nagging, the noise of vacuum cleaner, TV , drilling work from somewhere etc & my mum & brother kept coming in to my room, how can I concentrate to work?
I thought I could slack a bit in between emails today but customers chose to add on my workload today, not yesterday & not tomorrow.
However, during my official lunch time which I already had my lunch earlier while working, I got to play with my doggies & that is one of the pros I can think of.
Maybe another pros is I can work in my sleeping attire.. so comfy wooo hooo
Ok.. the last pros I can think of is I can knock off immediately... to go gym to burn the calories I gathered today.

If I have the power...I wish to stop the time.
It's moving when you are thinking.
It's moving when you are deciding.
It's moving when you are walking.
It's moving when you are sleeping.
It's even moving when you are doing nothing.
It's moving so quietly that you won't realise it.
How many days left for June ... & how many days left to Australia?

Japan ~ My Dream
Day 0:
My dream trip to Japan felt so unreal even on the day itself.
We took the A380 air bus & it was quite comfy.
I wasn't able to make any comparison as I had forgotten how the old air bus was like.
But...where was my after-meal dessert, ice-cream?
SIA cut cost?!!
We took the night flight & I had to rush home immediately after work... it was tiring.
But we were still able to smile happily. ^^
Took a short nap after watching the "Slumdog Millionaire" & we were woken up at around 5am (Singapore time) to have breakfast! That was real early!
However, I was glad I woke up, if not I would have miss the most beautiful sunrise ever.
Day 1:
I took my first step to practise my Japanese & it was when I was confirming with another passenger about the destination of the train we were taking. He understood what I said!
It was such a morale booster!
On the way searching for our hotel, I went to the police for help & again he understood what I was asking & gladly I could understand what he explained too!
I never felt so glad that all my my effort paid off!
After checking in the hotel, we set off to Ikebukuro.
Oh my! I felt a bit regret that I should have chosen the Ikebukuro branch of my hotel.
The guys there were so....... CUTE!!! *drooling*
We met a friendly uncle & his cute doggie while we were walking along the Ikebukuro street. His dog was so cute that made us went over to chat with him. It was because of that rain that we bidded sayonara to them.
Our best meal of that day was the "unexpected finding" of a small soba/udon shop.
The meal wasn't expensive & the shop did not have any high class decoration but it was comfortable & its soba/udon was so unforgettably delicious!
Day 2:
The area that we stayed at was very interesting though two of my friends were so scared.
We stayed at Shinjuku but it was near the red light district.
Don't miss understood, it wasn't the ladies who were servicing the men....
It was a street where the men service the lonely ladies so I felt it was ok as there wasn't any weird uncles around that area.
Those patronizing the men are lonely ladies so it wasn't that scary at all & the men there were "beautiful", as if they had just popped out from anime!
However, away from the red light district, on the other side of Shinjuku was the busy shopping district & one of Tokyo's busiest train station.
Look out for the Matcha Ice-cream shop at the train station. It was yummy! I love it!
I love matcha!
We met another friendly uncle who was laughing at us when we were busy taking photos in the train.
Hence, we asked him to join us & he agreed immediately!
He looked so cute with the peace sign. LOL
At Roppongi, we came across a pet shop & it was many many times better than Singapore ones.
Obviously the animals there were cuter & instead of lying on the mash metal plate, the animals were lying on the comfy mat.
Japan is such a dog friendly country!
The dogs are allowed to board the train, allowed to walk on the streets with no one screaming out loud when they saw them & the best thing is they are allowed to go shopping in shopping mall with their owners!!!
Singapore?! Sighz ~ Forget it!
On our way to Roppongi Hill, we met a Japanese man, carrying a baby & leashing a Shiba Inu!!
Shiba Inu!!! It was so cute!
The man was so friendly as we approached him if we could pat his dog.
A good Japanese husband waiting for his beautiful ex_SIA's stewardess wife, who was busy buying something.
Karen was impressed & fell in love with Roppongi.
Roppongi was really classy. ^^
Day 3:
On a Sunday morning, every guidebook will tell you to head straight to Harajuku.
We did.
I love Harajuku's train station.
No chance to cosplay but it was my first time seeing people cosplaying.
Though not what I was expecting but at least better than nothing.
They were gathering there & tourists were taking pictures of them as if they were some exhibits but some didn't mind though some rejected photo taking.
We went to the wrong direction & couldn't find Meiji-Jingu.
We saw some obasans & we went forward to ask for direction.
Amusingly, they were lost & were looking for Meiji-Jingu too!
At Meiji-Jingu, we were lucky to be able to witness three wedding couples having their traditional ceremony there.
Their traditional wedding ceremony was so quiet & we were not used to it but it was such an eye-opening event.
At Harajuku, the snacks that must not missed there is their CREPES!!
Delicious!
There were plenty of stores selling crepes in Harajuku & we decided to try this store.
We spotted a shop selling pets' accessories.
Big sized dog costumes can be easily found in Japan & all the designs are soooooo cute!
I have never seen a dog's costume for big dogs selling here in Singapore. *sad*
How I wish my Happie is willing to wear this bumble bee costume.
A nice ramen shop we discovered at Shibuya & we saw they have another branch at Shinjuku too.
All the ramen they sell over there were not cheap but seems kinda popular as we could find signatures all over their walls.
Worth the try, you won't regret.
Day 4:
Getting out of the city life, we were heading towards Hakone, with the hope to see Fuji-san if we have the fate.
The cute train captain was so shy to take the photo with us. Hee hee.
Fuji-san!! My first sight of her was inside the cable car & it was spectacular!!
I couldn't control my excitement at all!
She was soooo beautiful ^0^
I wanna reach that summit one day.
On our way to our hotel, we spotted a small shop selling ice-cream.
We were so excited that we found something so nice!
The black sesame ice-cream was really yummy!
I miss it so much!
They even have the sakura flavor but too bad it was out-of-stock.
Our first time sleeping in a Japanese tatami room.
Though at first the room reminded me of Sadako but during the night I was too exhausted to remember anything.
Nothing could wake me up anyway & who cares about Sadako!
If she happens to disturb my beauty sleep, I'll be the one who's cursing her.
We went to the Gotemba Premium Outlet & on our way there, we met a very cool guy.
I talked to him! haha asking for direction only but it was enough.
He was cool but we saw him smoking ... It's bad for health, Mr Cool Guy!
Gotemba was not really for me cos it's a place with all the expensive stuffs but I was glad I went as the view of Fuji-san was breathtaking over there.
However, our fate with Fuji-san was not that strong as the weather was kinda foggy.
We held a meeting for about 30 minutes on how we should shower & jump into the hotspring with minimal awkwardness.
The hot spring experience was funny but it was fun & unforgettable.
Nobody had expected the hot spring to be that hot!
Day 5:
After a good night sleep on the futon, we headed to the dining room for breakfast.
On my way to the dining room, we passed by the main door & I was walking last, I happened to notice the main door was moving slighly with no one around. Out of curiousity, I went over, wanting to close it completely, suddenly the door was opened by a guy.
I was startled but he looked at me & my friends strangely & started to tell us that he had seen us before.
Unbelievably that we had stayed at the same hotels, both at Toyko & Hakone!
To be staying at the same hotels at two areas & at the same time, I guessed it does not happen easily since there are so many hotels in Tokyo & Hakone!
He came to Japan with his mum from Taiwan & we decided to travel together for that day.
I still wonder if that door didn't move that morning....
With him around, taking group photos were so much easier.
However I felt so awkward around him as my friends were pushing me to him! Sighz~
We took the pirates ships...
enjoyed the sea breeze or should be cold breeze...
went to the shrine & saw the torii...
& went to the sulfuric spring to eat the famous black eggs which could extend your life for 7 years per egg....
it's milky colour.
Day 6:
The day I was waiting for!
We managed to get the tickets at 200 yen cheaper each! Wooo hooo!
I felt like a child again. The money spent on the ticket was worth it ^^
I love Disneyland!
Pooh was so cute!
Pluto! I love its paws...
Reminded me of my doggies
Gin's favourite character!
His beak hit my face when I was trying to adjust my position! *ouch*
Captain Jack wannabe.. I still prefer my Johnny Depp.
& I was the Minnie-wannabe! LOL
Trying so hard to act cute...
This colour suited my clothes so well LOL
We had the Mickey pizza for lunch that day.
It looked like a kid's meal but it was yummy!
We had Mickey's ice-cream too! hee hee
Orange flavour.. nice.
We were lucky to get a very nice spot for the parade!
Went crazy waving at the performers. They were so close.
Had one of the Disney staff to take photos with us when we were about to head back to hotel.
Why is my face so red? I can't remember why I was laughing so hard.
Day 7:
Our tedious day.
The day we had to move hotel from Shinjuku to Ueno.
It was a tough journey with additional luggages from our busy shopping trips.
Along the street of Yanaka, we spotted an elementary school.
In that school, there was this little boy that caught our attention.
He was gorgeous!
Honestly, I think photo doesn't do any justice to him.
He was many times more cuter in real person!
I love their school bags & I heard it cost about SGD300+++ for one of that.
The famous Asakusa Shrine.
Decided to draw a lot.
Lot no. 99
ho ho ho! It was the Best Fortune!
I wonder when will it be realized.
It has been weeks since I came back from Japan..hmmmm...
Remember to spot our photo at one of Ueno arcade where Julian got the first prize & we were lucky to take the picture together with him.
Day 8:
Random photo at one of the cafe which we decided to condemn it.
It sucks! Both service & menu sucks!
Odaiba was beautiful.
Will people mistook that we went to New York?
It sure look like we were at New york huh.
Sunset by the sea with Statue of Liberty 2
Venus Fort mall with the blue sky painted on the ceiling...you will forget it's night night when you are there.
Day 9:
Last full day to enjoy.
Sad to leave Japan but have to.
We went to Akihabara & I was expecting to see only otakus there but I could only find a few otakus. To my surprised, I saw some cute guys in the figuring shops! They didn't look like otakus at all.
My dinner that night was bought from the convenience shop.
I didn't expect too much from it, just wanna try it out.
Unexpectedly, it was delicious!
Day 10:
Time to say goodbye... but
I'll be back Japan!

ho ho ho! It was the Best Fortune!I wonder when will it be realized.
It has been weeks since I came back from Japan..hmmmm...
Remember to spot our photo at one of Ueno arcade where Julian got the first prize & we were lucky to take the picture together with him.
Day 8:Random photo at one of the cafe which we decided to condemn it.
It sucks! Both service & menu sucks!
Odaiba was beautiful. Will people mistook that we went to New York?
It sure look like we were at New york huh.
Sunset by the sea with Statue of Liberty 2
Venus Fort mall with the blue sky painted on the ceiling...you will forget it's night night when you are there.
Day 9:
Last full day to enjoy.
Sad to leave Japan but have to.
We went to Akihabara & I was expecting to see only otakus there but I could only find a few otakus. To my surprised, I saw some cute guys in the figuring shops! They didn't look like otakus at all.
My dinner that night was bought from the convenience shop.I didn't expect too much from it, just wanna try it out.
Unexpectedly, it was delicious!
Day 10:Time to say goodbye... but
I'll be back Japan!

從另一個角度認識我
I've decided to start a new blog which is only written in chinese.
Don't worry, this blog is still around as the style of both blogs are different.
I have put the link on the left hand side of the page "HaPPieDayz"
Enjoy.
By the way, stay tuned for my Japan trip photos. :)

Mind my own business...
Had a bad day today.
I did my income tax e-filing smoothly with NO single hiccup.
I'm not oblige to help anyone.. if I help out, it's only out of goodwill.
I didn't approach anyone to help me, did I?
But in return, no appreciation yet I gotten reprimanded for filing last minute.
I wonder did they see me sleeping with my laptop doing my work halfway these few days...
How stressful was I these few days with my work..will they ever know?
Who cares if I die or not as long as they can survive.
One changed his password on his own & didn't inform me at all...causing the account being locked by the system. - My fault.
The other one didn't provide me the password which he already went into his account to look look only. So I guess he figured out that password is required to log in then why didn't he provide it to me? - My fault.
One scolded me for saying he provided me to school & I couldn't even accomplish such a simple task.
I told him, excuse me..I paid for my own allowance & school fees, he kept quiet.
The other one said if he has his insurance info, he won't beg me to do it. He went in to look already & if he really is sincere in doing it, he would have know that he doesn't need the insurance info if his CPF contribution is more than 5k.
All my fault.
I should have mind my own business.
I've learnt my lesson.
I care if I die or not, even if no one else cares.

Morale Event
The day before the Morale Event, I told my colleague that I shall bring my camera tomorrow.
I forgot all about it the next day.
I told her that no slipper allowed as we will be playing ice-breaking games.
I forgot about it too.
How serious my memory is failing.
On that day, we played a few ice-breaking games which we thought they were rather stressful! LOL
My Team mates + Manager @ work
My team mates @ work
We had our dinner at NUSS.
Food was just ok but scenery was nice.
Nevertheless, it somehow fulfilled its purpose of bringing the team together.
By the way, a piece of delayed good news.
Lucky is safely back home last week. ^^

Happy & Sad T.T
It had been a busy month for me.
Busy working, studying, playing & preparing my brother's wedding.
Working life has becoming tiring for me..with the non stop emails flowing in & all the never-ending work to do.....
I'm seriously tired.
Sighz...
I went to watch 2 concerts within 2 months.
1st one was Lu Guang Zhong....
That's him!
The one in green.
That's him too!
The one in yellow.
2nd one was an award ceremony type of concert.
I was able to see so many of my idols...so happy!
He's my favourite...
As I was sitting quite far so it was difficult to take good shots.
Big News!!!
On 1st March, my big brother is finally married!
Happy couple
My pretty sister-in-law
Hand in hand, walking down the aisle

Lucky Marley
Finally, my itinerary for my Japan trip is half done.
I didn't know planning a 10 days 9 nights trip required a lot of thinking like the travel route, accessibility of hotel to train stations, which area to stay for which day etc.
However, it was really fun to plan for my own trip!
Side-tracking....
Yesterday I had bought some books.
One of them is "Marley".
I didn't watch the movie and have not read the book yet but I guess it will be a sad dog story.
Gotta cry again *sobs
Doesn't Marley & my Lucky look alike?
80% look alike?
Maybe there's a slight difference.
Marley is fairer cos Marley is a Caucasian & Lucky is an asian, thus he's more tanned.
Maybe...
Another two books I bought are to hope that I will be able to improve & correct my English grammar mistakes that I have been making all my life.
Thanks to Singlish ~
So for the time being, pardon all my grammar mistakes.
I will work hard.
"A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not. As I wrote that farewell column to Marley, I realized it was all right there in front of us, if only we opened our eyes. Sometimes it took a dog with bad breath, worse manners, and pure intentions to help us see." ~ John Grogan

Sending off 2008....
It's my last moment with 2008.
It's 10.18pm now so left about 1 hour & 42 mins to a brand new year.
Nothing really great happened on 2008.
The only happy occasion on 2008 is the birth of Baby Kai Kai.
What's over is over, I'll try to leave all those unhappiness at 2008.
No carrying forward !!!
Everything will start anew.
Gotta start thinking about my New Year's resolutions although I didn't really work hard enough to fulfill my past resolutions.
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE !!!
Last request in 2008.
Please pardon my last sigh for 2008....
Sigh.....It's blue....

A better life
Why do people have to go to work?
Who is that fellow who determined that we have to work?
Why isn't work 9 to 5 anymore?
Why is Singapore's working lifestyle becoming so stressful & tiring?
Why are we working so hard but at the end of the month we are still receiving the same amount?
SO...
Why are we working so hard for???
A better life?
So do we have enough time & energy to enjoy the "better life"?
I Don't.
Maybe it's only me who's leading a contradicting life.

Making life more interesting but tiring
Last Monday I went to attend my friend's wedding at Sentosa.
I had a hard time finding the hotel & the staff at Sentosa were not professional enough to help me!
One of them showed me the wrong direction, causing me to walk a long way on heels!
Anyway, it was really nice to see my friend so happy on her big day.
Yesterday, we went for our first picnic at Singapore Botanic Garden.
I can still remember my dad used to bring us there often when we were young.
When I went back yesterday, the place was so different.
However, I can still remember the swan lake where there used to have a lot of swans.
Our food. They were all yummy!
My first attempt on the Onigiris
The tree that can be found on our five dollar note.
Our belated X'mas presents
Luckily we were inside the first 1/8 of the crowd

We decided to have another one next time.
Today, Me & Karen went to queue up for our first May Day Concert's ticket!
The crowd was so scary & luckily Karen's friend (thanks to her!) went there to queue early in the morning.
Yes, you are right!
We cut queue! Ha ha ha ha
These people are only about 1/8 of the total crowd

Please don't be mistaken!!!!
Singaporeans don't really enjoy queuing!!!
We were forced to queue & too bad we were the obedient ones.
After we got the tickets, we went for our lunch & after our lunch we saw the queue was still so long!!!
LUCKY US!!!

An Ironic Day
Had met up with Simmies for sushi buffet.
It was considered cheap by comparing $2.29 per plate for ala carte menu.
I didn't take my dinner last night so that meal was considered as my last night's dinner, today's breakfast & lunch. Three meals taken together. Hee hee.
Anyway, after the bloated buffet, we went to shop around for X'mas presents.
It was very crowded in the mall, as usual for a Saturday.
Around evening, I headed towards ...... gym to burn the calories gained during the sushi buffet.
Haha... crazy huh?! My brother thought so too when I told him.
It was nice that the gym wasn't crowded on a Saturday evening & I even had the sauna room all by myself.
Temperature was 90 Degree Celsius. Almost cooked me but it was really great.
After the great workout, I went for a short shopping session alone.
Actually, shopping alone has its pros too & I kinda like it.
No doubt that I'm a lone ranger.
After doing some shopping, I headed to meet my family........ for dinner.
Haha.... A wasted gym session, I know.
But I managed to spot a cute Caucasian & a few hunks in the gym so consider not wasted right?
Oh my..... It's so hard to slim down.

The path to Hell
It's so sad to know there's such a bastard living in this world.
I hope he/she will get punish by going to Hell.
How could this person do such a cruel thing to the vulnerable cat?!!
How could this person cut open the stomach of this poor pregnant cat?!!!
How could this person bear to kill the mother cat & the unborn kittens?!!!
So many question marks in my head...
Why why why??!!!
It's just a cat!! How did it offend that person???
“Curiosity killed the cat.... Curiosity was framed. Ignorance killed the cat.”

Long Weekend
Today is Singapore's public holiday.
Gonna start work tomorrow but I didn't rest enough during this long weekend.
Instead my weekend was quite busy.
I was busy with friends whom I didn't catch up for quite some time, once-a-month facial, went to gym, spent time with my family & dogs, PSP-ing & most importantly, catching up with my beauty sleep.
Tomorrow will be a long day for me cos I know what's waiting for me. The to-do list is sooooo long that i tried not to think about it when I was trying to enjoy my long weekend.
Anyway, four more days to Saturday. Hee hee... I love weekend!
The good news is that there will be quite a few public holiday that fall on Monday in 2009!
More long weekends. ^^ Yipppeeee!

My Weekend
I brought my work home but later on, I decided not to think about work during this weekend.
Therefore, I decided to catch up those movies which I wanted to watch but didn't.
I simply love movie marathon.
I spent my weekend watching......
"Journey to the center of the earth",
"Eight Below" (as usual, I always cry when watching dogs movie.... poor old Jack *sobs*) &
" The Shaggy Dog" (However, I didn't cry for this, it was funny)
Had went to my malay friend's wedding as well.
The food was better than I expected but not the dessert though.

Pretty couple & us

I have finished packing my bag just like a child preparing for a new school term.
New people and new environment awaiting.
Have to turn my body clock to Singapore's timing from today onwards.

Footprints
I wrote their names on the footprints they left behind.
Although..
None of them accompany me through.
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.”

A friendship that I have never lost
We ended our conversation that day.
I cannot remember when was the previous time he chatted with me so nicely.
We used to end our conversation arguing.
Maybe both of us have matured.
Or maybe it was only that day.
I miss calling him & waiting for his calls.
I miss the time we used to spend chatting on the phone almost everyday, chatting anything under the sun.
He told me about his soccer, his friends, his motorbike, his dog, his family etc.
I told him about my friends, my family, my crushes, my job etc.
I miss the time we used to spend together working part time in the same company after school.
He waited for me to close my counter to eat lunch with him & I waited for him to clear his stuff before lunch.
I told him that one of my colleagues looked cute & he said just so so only.
He asked me to help him with his earrings during lunch cos he didn't know how to do it himself.
He said I was so rough towards him & I ever told him that he was not a bit romantic at all.
We both denied.
We are friends for 10 years this year.
Friends from the start, till now & forever.
Nothing more.
Maybe there was but I gave that up cos I cherished his friendship more than anything else I wanted.
Coz....
He was the only person that I cried to when I have problems with my friends &
He was the only person that scolded me stupid cos I didn't listen to him that the guy I dated was a jerk.

I wish the time will go slower
I always talk back to her...
scold her for the things she has done...
never help her...
ignore her...
when I couldn't get in touch with her...
I regretted so much for whatever I ever did.
At least I know she's safe & sound now...
or else I'm the biggest sinner in the world.
Getting out of Singapore tomorrow for a break...
I'm so tired today.

Shhhh.... It's a secret
I used to have the thought of having my first trip to Japan to be my Honeymoon plan.
However, I had dropped that thought & decided to go Japan with my buddies instead.
Today, another Honeymoon destination popped into my mind.
Shhhh... It's a secret.
I'm not gonna tell you where until I'm ready to go.
However, it's gonna be expensive & I'm gonna save up now.

F1 Grand Prix
I was supposed to go KTV after my badminton & jogging sessions today.
Luckily we changed our plan.
If not, we would have missed the chance to "pass by" the circuit, hear the sound & see the race cars LIVE which totally made us super excited.
The sound of the race cars was so loud that it almost burst my eardrums & it is still lingering in my head now!
COOL!!!

Precious bonding as lasting as the ties of this earth can ever be
Quill
Helen the Baby Fox
10 Promises to My Dog
A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies
A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies
Just finished watching "A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies" which is based on a real story. So touching & sad.
Out of these four movies, "10 Promises to My Dog" & "A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies" made me cry until both my eyes were swollen.
Animal/Dog lovers shouldn't miss watching all these movies.
I believe only those who has a dog like me will understand that kind of special bonding between me & my dog.
Just the thought alone of him/her leaving me one day will make me cry, I cannot imagine if that day really come....
My new desktop wallpaper!
I love my Happie!!!

Five tips for a woman
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house & has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.
“When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife.”

My Story
When reading a storybook, I always try my best not to flip to the end.
Although I'm always curious to know the ending but it will make me lose interest in reading what's going on in between.
If my life is a story, likewise, I wouldn't wanna know my ending but I'm really curious how the plot will be like for the next chapter.
By the way, who is the author of my story?
God?
or
me?
If I'm the author then why couldn't I control the plots of my story?
So, will the mysterious author be kind enough to give me a wonderful ending?

Wish Upon the Star ~
I love to look at the moon & stars while walking Happie as it always give me a very wonderful feeling.
I don't think many people (maybe in Singapore) care & bother to admire the lovely night sky.
Anyway, I was walking Happie yesterday & happened to see how nice the moon was so I decided to take a picture of it.
The picture turned out nicer than I expected & glad that Happie was quietly sitting down waiting for me to take this picture.
Saw the star beside the moon?
I saw it today again after my class while walking to the bus stop & my classmate said it was not a star, it was the satellite.
Hmmm....
It looks like a star to me.
I wonder will my sis be able to see the star/satellite in US & my bro be able to see that too in China....
It's so amazing that though we are all far apart but we are still seeing the same moon every night.

Our mind believes its shelter is in time
I'm still keeping them... everything.
Will slowly one by one delete them &
当全部都删除了以后。。。一切就真的结束了。

Last day of Work & A new start seeking for my career
Today is my last day of work.
Hate to leave my nice & lovely colleagues.
Couldn't find any better colleagues in other companies like them at the moment.
No politics, no selfishness & standing on the same side against boss. Haha...
Most of all I feel so bad towards my senior, didn't really wanna leave her almost alone in the battle.
However, I know clearly that I HAVE to leave.
Last minute cleared all my rubbish & packed my stuffs.
Looking at my clean table... suddenly I feel kinda lonely & had the thought of staying on which the feeling I couldn't really explain.
It's like..the place is so familiar to me which feel like my second home yet sometimes hate to go & when realised I won't be coming back..it's kinda sad.
Definitely I'm gonna miss my table, my work, my colleagues & my boss.
Leaving behind all the stress & bad memories, I felt so light yet so empty.

快樂 我哭 是因為你的手曾答應帶我向前走
30th June, a very amazing day.
So many things happened today!
One of my colleagues who I always like to chat with left the company today.
I got to know a new friend who loves dog as much as I do & he lives very very near me!
I chatted for very long on the phone with a supplier who I barely know & he gave me a lot of his personal advices.
I finally chatted with another supplier who I see almost everyday for the past 5 months plus but never talk a single word before.
A guy who used to go to the same religious place as me popped up in front of me & asked if I still remember him! I didn't know he is one of my supplier too! So coincidence!
Added a new friend into my MSN list. She is my supplier too!
Chatted with one of my old school mates who I didn't chat with for very long & he threw one big bomb at me to share his happiness.
Chatted with a friend & just when I was so disappointed with his tactless remarks,
he said the final sentence to make everything sound..........
sweet.
However, I can no longer judge how true it is anymore.
Suddenly, I realised my world is revolving so much around the people at my work.

Casey's Wishlist
Was thinking on the bus, if a Genie came to me & gave me one wish to be granted no matter what it is, what will it be?
I thought for more than half an hour & came up with these:
" I wish I have three wishes that will be granted no matter what they are."
Hee hee. Of course this wish will be granted & I can think of three more.
"First, I want to have the ability to read the minds of any people & animals I want to read."
"Secondly, I want to have the ability to turn back time."
"Lastly, I want to have the ability to heal illnesses."
Hmmmm.... I wonder can I just sum these three up just by wishing that I can do whatever I want, then I will have two more wishes.
Anyway, nothing better to do & to be more practical, I came up with a short wish list for this year which can only be fulfilled by myself. Haven't met any genie yet.
Hee hee.
- A new job
- A new desktop
- A new pair of spectacle
- A new hairstyle & colour
- A new wardrobe of clothes
- My first manicure
- A trip to Hong Kong, Taiwan or Japan (depending on my financial status)
- Finally, a positive health report
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbows will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small
Alone in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes...
A dream is a wish your heart makes...
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
“I will not wish thee riches nor the glow of greatness, but that wherever thou go, some weary heart shall gladden at thy smile, or shadowed life know sunshine for awhile. And so thy path shall be a track of light, like angels' footsteps passing throug”

Yes, alone.

Family.
They all come to me at the same phase.
They are testing my endurance too.
Getting tired...... I need a place to do what I wanna do now.

The stone that cuts
History repeats again.
I never learn my lesson.
I thought he's different from him &
I thought I found someone who cherished me more than anyone else.
Yah.. I know they are all "I thought" only.
Actually, they are exactly the same.
Met through the same medium
Went to the same place
& they ran away using the same way too.
But.. this time it hurts more.
For once, I followed my heart irrationally.
I thought this time finding out why will lighten the weight but I didn't know the stone had cut me.
Ok... Don't ask me anymore.
“Love is I know not what, which comes from I know not where and finishes I know not how.”

好聽 ~
你说的话 我都相信
说得好听 说得甜蜜
你说的每一句 我都相信
为了爱情 失了聪明
听你的话 闭上眼睛
这个梦多美丽 让它继续
你说的话 总那麼好听
你爱不爱 我不能确定
也许你只把它当游戏
我却爱得太用力
你说的话 我都相信
说得好听 说得甜蜜
你说的每一句 我都相信
为了爱情 失了聪明
听你的话 闭上眼睛
这个梦多美丽 让它继续
你说的话 总那麼好听
你爱不爱 我不能确定
也许你只把爱当游戏
我却没有那麼聪明
你说的话 总那麼好听
你爱不爱 我不想确定
我会关掉你送的手机
然后 静静 不去理

Peace oncemore ~
The fence is slowly losing its defense.
Going deeper tends to make me lose myself.
It's straining me....
I saw the hateful me once again.
It's scary...
Oh my, I'm so tired
please return the peace I used to have back to me.

Dreamt of my sis & him yesterday... but not a good one cos my sis scolded me in that dream.
Haha...

LUCKY!

The colour is too bright... I know.
Hope they like them.

This is the first time I find my boss....
................. Cute!!!
I rejected the offer by my company as a perm staff.
Today while he was walking behind me,
he mumbled like a child...
"why did you reject our offer?"
I turned around & smiled at him awkwardly...
"Want me to talk to you?" He asked.
I immediately shouted "NO!!" & scurried away!
Ha ha
I admit I'm a soft hearted person.
People used my weakness to take advantage of me sometimes.
But today my senior pleaded me to reconsider to stay...
I wavered again.
I'm so useless! So wishy washy!!!
Between Favor & Prospects, I know the latter is more important...isn't it?

It Made My Heart Cried ~
在东京铁塔 第一次眺望
看灯火模仿 坠落的星光
我终於到达 但却更悲伤
一个人完成 我们的梦想
你总说 时间还很多
你可以等我
以前我不懂得
未必明天 就有以后
想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛
遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛
没看你脸上 张扬过哀伤
那是种多么 寂寞的倔强
你拆了城墙 让我去流浪
在原地等我 把自己捆绑
你没说 你也会软弱
需要依赖我
我就装不晓得
自由移动 自我地过
想念是会呼吸的痛
它活在我身上所有角落
哼你爱的歌会痛
看你的信会痛 连沉默也痛
遗憾是会呼吸的痛
它流在血液中来回滚动
后悔不贴心会痛
恨不懂你会痛
想见不能见最痛
我发誓不再说谎了
多爱你就会抱你多紧的
我的微笑都假了
灵魂像飘浮着 你在就好了
我发誓不让你等候
陪你做想做的无论什么
我越来越像贝壳
怕心被人触碰 你回来那就好了
能重来那就好了

Reflection ~
I believe my indecisiveness is because I have thinking cells aplenty.
I was told by many people that I always think too much.
I realised that.
Always worrying about consequences of things that have not even happen.
I aways make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Over rational sometimes.
In relationship, my friends often tell me to lower my expectations.
However, I really do not know when did I start to choose the man to be with rationally.
By check listing on looks, prospects, personalities etc.
My heart's expectation is actually very simple, as long as I feel happy with him...
but my mind always eventually suppressed the heart's will.
“The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.”~ Thomas Merton

It doesn't pay to be kind ~
My colleague told our new colleague...
" Got problem, you can look for Casey, she's a kind girl............."
Being kind only ended up getting more workloads.
I decided not to be so kind so I talked harshly to my storeman today saying that he was being unhelpful for not helping me when I requested his help earlier.
He then said, "Ok, I'm free now, just let me know what do you want."
Did he sense that I was being harsh???
Am I harsh enough?
Or is it by being harsh, people will tends to help you more?
I'm confused.
“Do not destroy a child’s dignity. There is a vast difference between being harsh and being firm.”

Getting out of here ~
I wanna get out of the tiny circle i'm cooping in for so long!
I'm still the same old me, the same one 10 years ago.....
It only means there's no progress & no improvement made.
I hate that!
How can I learn to be tougher, be firmer & be more confident?
Frustrated!!!
Where is the sense of achievement I'm yearning for?

Peaceful Sunday
I hardly wake up before 9am on Sunday.
Last Sunday, I woke up at 6.30am.
Unbelievable huh...
I woke up to join Karen, her parents & many others to Upper Peirce reservoir for a slow morning walk.
Beautiful morning
Peaceful view
Nice park huh?

Shopping Heaven ~ Bangkok
I had been looking forward to this trip since last year.
I had never bought so many things in just 4 days, not even during my previous trip to China.
Day 1:
At Bangkok's airport with Angelia
Missing Karen was taking the photo for us
Standing beside Karen made me look even fatter -_-"
We were staying at Twin Tower Hotel.
The room was spacious & clean!
Nice bathroom with a great bathtub.
I had onsen (hot spring) twice in that bathtub, hee hee.
Lobby & reception of Twin Tower .
The staff had poor command of English.
One of them couldn't explain "opposite" & had to draw a picture to explain. By the way, it is a four stars hotel.
Isn't it beautiful?
In order to save money for more useful purposes, we took a tuk-tuk.
Ha ha, yes!!! Six of us in a small tuk-tuk!!!
It was such an unforgettable experience!
Our memorial photo of the exciting tuk-tuk ride.
On the second day, we spent most of our time in this cheap market
- The Chatuchak Weekend Market.
The weather was hot & the market was stuffy!
Couldn't remember how much water we drank & luckily we brought some on our own.
To cool ourselves, we went for a cooling ice grass jelly dessert!
The brown topping was brown sugar actually & they eventually ended up in the dustbin.
The hot & stuffy but cheap Chatuchak market.
I love this section of the market.
The animal's section!!!
This poor rabbit was caged in a small caged which it barely can move.
Sobs...Sobs...
So many cute puppies for sale!
However, I discovered that some of the owners were very rough in handling their puppies.
Poor puppies...
Isn't this puppy cute!!!
I can't remember the exact name of this breed but I always
call this breed "Jian Gou" due to one of the anime I used to watch had this type of dog.
Sleepy puppies...Zzzz
After a tired day at Chatuchak, We went to experience the Thai massage & foot reflexology.
It was not too bad.
We walked away without giving tips! Ha ha
Day 3:
We shopped almost the whole day at Platinum.
Didn't even have time for Pratunum Centre.
Saw the busy road? Scary!
Kinda like this candid shot of Karen.
Opps! Will she scold me when she saw I posted this?
A group photo which I asked a tourist to help us to take.
Hmmm...too tiny, isn't it?
We had a slightly more expensive meal to reward ourselves at
Jim Thompson.
The ambience was not too bad.
Nicely decorated coconut drink.
Cooling ~~!
My food!
I couldn't remember its name.
This is what Clairer ate.
Ha ha.. I couldn't remember its name either
This is Pat Thai.
Not too bad but still not better than the Pat Thai we ordered from room service.
Tiramisu!!!
Yummy!!!
Apple tart if I'm not wrong.
We chose a tart with more filling but the waitress insisted that this was the one we pointed.
Useless to argue with her.
Hmmm... I'm getting older & older each day.
Brain cells died faster these days.
Memory cells too.
I really couldn't remember what its name.
SORRY!!
However.....
I remember.....
it is
YUMMY!!!
Day 4:
Very busy day! No time to take photos at all.
We had our schedule tightly planned.
Early in the morning after breakfast, we went to do last minute shopping at MBK.
Bought big bag of goodies, most of them were pork floss.
After that we went straight back to hotel to pack & check out.
However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we were being delayed from our plan.
The reception had checked us out despite we had requested late check out. My friends had to ran down to the reception there to reactivate the access cards of our rooms.
Time wasted!!!
My door card access machine ran out of batteries!!!
I believe not many people will encounter this kind of situation!!!
Not many people know the machine uses batteries too!!!!!
Time wasted again!!!
By the time we packed and checked out, we were already late for our 2nd massage's appointment!
Leading to the massage ended later than we had planned & we had to get back to the airport to catch the airport transfer.
We waited for quite some time & finally we caught hold of a cab but unfortunately we were stucked in the traffic jam!
The traffic wasn't moving at all!!!
We missed the airport transfer, had to pay for the delay & cab fare straight to the airport, late check in leading to separate seatings.
The worst thing was, I was arranged to sit with ABN in front, beside and behind of me!!!
I'm very sensitive to the smell & the one behind kept pulling my hair!
IRRITATING!!!!!
Luckily, it was only a two hour flight or else I will go crazy.
Nevertheless, it was quite a fun but tiring trip.
A very good place to shop indeed!

We bought so many things in the NaRaYa's Boutique in there.

Congratulation to me!
The long waited result has finally reached me.
I was expecting a negative result but surprisingly, I passed.
Not with flying colours, of course.
I was expecting a "failed", remember?!
Anyway, I'm glad that I was quite lucky in guessing the correct answers...
one new JLPT 3 cert will be added to my collection.
On my way up up up to JLPT 2!

只能送你最后一程了。。。
有人说: “每个人都要经历生老病死的过程。”
那对他而言， 真的好不公平。
他的人生旅途只有“生”“病“和“死”。
老天剥夺了他可以老的权利。
忘不了他的笑容。
忘不了他调皮的叫着我的名字的样子。
当我知道他已离开我们的时候， 我的脑开始不停的搜索所有与他有关的画面。
发现三年的回忆我却只能想到的只有那么少。
原来我一直把这些回忆和他当成理所当然的，因为只要他还在这些回忆并不重要。
非常遗憾的连他最后一眼也没看到。。。
如今那少少的回忆现在变得很重要，很珍贵。
抱着重重的情绪去送他最后一程， 告诉自己一定要控制自己的情绪。
当看到那相片里熟悉的他和他那永远都那么灿烂的笑容时， 眼泪不听使唤的一直流。
他哥哥安慰我说这也许对他来说是一种解脱。
情绪迟迟无法平复。
当他将要永远化成灰烬时，
真的好伤心也好后悔为什么当他生病时没有鼓起勇气去看他。
希望现在的他正在前往天堂的路上，永远不会再生病了。
“Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.”~ William Shakespeare

I'm just so bad in decision making.
Don't wanna disappoint both parties but there's only one ME.

Resolution for 2008
1 more day left for 2007.
Looking back at 2007, the only achievement that I can slightly proud of is ....
I have graduated with a Degree!
That's all.
No fats burn.
Instead, as expected I gained more fats.
For the coming year 2008, I have decided 3 resolutions.
1) Firstly, as usual, burn my fats!!!!
2) Secondly, quickly find a career that has prospect & settle down.
3) Lastly, find my Martian.
Not that hard huh.
I really hope so.

Who Needs You?
Isn't it sad to feel you are not needed anymore...
You will start to question
your existence...
your value...
& slowly you will doubt yourself...
Eventually the little bit of confidence that left in you will soon be.......
GONE ~ ~ ~
Scary huh?!

Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge Restaurant
As promised, these are the photos taken on Ah Zhen's birthday.
This is done by Karen. Very cute!
Must credit her or else she will charge me copyright fee... (-_-")
No photos on the desserts! Opps!
You go there & try them yourself!
Definitely worth the trip!

Quick Update
Have been quite busy recently.
This month is really a busy month for me.
I hope next month will be better but looking at my schedule book, I guess it will not be.
Just a quick update on what I had been doing.
Recently, I was busy revising for my japanese school tests.
Just these tests alone occupied so much of my time & it was finally over last Tuesday.
At the same time, I was busy going for interviews but none of them I was satisfied. Either the job scope was boring or the location was too inconvenient.
So, No Luck yet!
Last Thursday, I was invited to our company annual dinner at Suntec City. This year, the dinner was very special coz it's the company's 25th anniversary & the year that it received 2 prestigious awards.
Though I was invited but I wasn't entitled to get the door gifts which were a digital camera & a photo printer. *SOBS*
The reason was beacause I'm not its permanent staff! But didn't I contribute too????!!!
UNFAIR!!!!
These are some of the photos I took during the annual dinner.
Me & Sabrina
It was her last day at work that day.
Sobs* No more Lunch-mate
Sabrina, ME & Design Manager
These few days, I was busy revising for my upcoming JLPT on Dec 2.
Last minute revision!!! Hee hee..... Hope it helps!
I was also kinda busy clearing computer virus which was given as a gift from my friend. @#$&%#^$%^^~!#%^&*#&*~@
Yesterday I went to Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge Restaurant to celebrate my buddy's belated birthday.
It was my first time to Royal Copenhagen Tea Lounge Restaurant.
We were served using exquisite hand painted Royal Copenhagen porcelains that are exclusively created for the Danish Royal Family!
I love its desserts... they were really YUMMY!!!
Will post up the photos once I got them.
Will be attending 2 wedding lunch/dinner & department dinner next month.
I'm looking forward for the monthly department's bonding session dinner at Ritz Carlton Hotel!
Food ~ Food ~ Food~ !!!!

Sad Loyalty... Sobs Sobs
Sigh...
My brother knew I'll be sad if I look at these photos but he still sent them to me.
It's really sad but touching ~~~
The dog kept trying to push its dead friend out of the road.
Witnesses were touched that even an ordinary dog can be so loyal !

A dog was seen in the middle of busy street caring for its friend, which had been hit by a car.
Using its paw, the dog tried to wake its already-dead friend....

Even in heavy traffic, the dog just won't leave its friend.

Moody day
I'm so moody today.
Was craving for my hershey the whole day at work, knowing it will somehow cheer me up.
Just too bad that I didn't bring any to work.
Normally, these are the few things I will do if I feel moody.
1) The easiest way is to sleep! Nothing is more effective than waking up fresh.
2) Eat chocolate if I have it in my fridge. Chocolate can cheer me up!
3) Sit in front of my computer, turn on the volume & scream along with the songs. Not sing, it's SCREAM! Poor neighbours, I know.
4) Lastly, take out a pen and a piece of used paper and scribble hard in random manner... until you can't recognise it
5) Have yet to invent one. Maybe soon.
So far, they are effective for me! You can try it too! ^0^
I just did 2 & 3....

Was craving for my hershey the whole day at work, knowing it will somehow cheer me up.
Just too bad that I didn't bring any to work.
Normally, these are the few things I will do if I feel moody.
1) The easiest way is to sleep! Nothing is more effective than waking up fresh.
2) Eat chocolate if I have it in my fridge. Chocolate can cheer me up!
3) Sit in front of my computer, turn on the volume & scream along with the songs. Not sing, it's SCREAM! Poor neighbours, I know.

Time waits for no one indeed
Time flies.... My sis flew back to US yesterday morning.
Without noticing, she was already here for 3 weeks & I have been working for 1 month already.
Kinda miss her when I got home today. No more seeing her sitting on the blue sofa, watching Taiwan soap drama with my mum. The next time I'll see her will be with her little baby. ^0^
Anyway, I'm glad to know that she has reached home safely after such a long flight.
So far so good on my work. Maybe it's only 1 month or maybe my job doesn't have the stress or maybe it's because there's a motivator, I have yet to experience the "dragging myself to work" feeling. Though I am not doing anything important but up till now, everyone in my department is happy with my progress.
I'm really glad that I'm kinda useful but I'm yearning for more. I'm yearning for the sense of achievement which this job scope couldn't offer me (yet).
By the way, my company has achieved the JIPM award yesterday. When the auditing was carried out, it was such an eye opener. The auditor (Japanese) had a translator and a cameraman with him, it looked as though they were filming for a documentary film. I heard from my colleague that this award is really hard to achieve & not many companies in Singapore has achieved it.
Therefore, to celebrate this achievement, there'll be free lunch for everyone next week & I'm looking forward for it already! Yummy!!! That's what I like about MNC! It's NOT stingy to employees at all! You can see that too when you try to get stationery from the person-in-charge.
I got what I wanted INSTANTLY.
My motivator was on leave today... but the scenes where he kept stumbling near me filled up my dazing time at work. LOL !
Yes, not once but quite a few times over this 1 month & it happened twice yesterday. First time was when his hand knocked onto my partition *OUCH* while walking & second time was when he accidentally tripped onto something & almost fell down.
I find it so interesting to see a mature man who held such a high position in the company being so careless in his daily life!
He's still a human after all.

Big Brother's Big Day!!!
My big brother held his solemnisation ceremony last sunday at Clarke Quay.
This is the area where the ceremony was held.
Isn't it nice & romantic?!!
Luckily the weather was exceptionally good.
This is my beautiful sister-in-law. ^^
I really love the view! Everyone too!
So sweet huh? After exchanging their rings, they exchanged gaze too!
Finally two new members are added to our Family Chart!
Yes, it's two.
You must have forgotten the little baby in my sister's womb, didn't you?
Our sister-in-law & us.
Happy Bride & Bridegroom live happily ever after.

Work & Play
Didn't have time to update my blog as I was kinda tired after work though I didn't do anything much. Actually, just by waking up at 6.30am alone makes me extremely tired!
Am getting closer with my colleagues each day & having fun at my workplace so far. My manager & senior are trying means to make me stay longer. My manager even suggested in helping me to look out for eligible man over there to attract me to stay. Ha ha.
Getting to see my motivator everyday is one of the reasons that motivate me to go to work. He is an extremely charming charismatic mature man. It's so hard for me not to search & secretly peek at him! Hee hee...
Haven't have the courage to speak to him for the past weeks though we knew each other existence. I wonder did he discovered that I was always peeking at him coz finally, he spoke to me today! He asked for my name & I was surprised! My mind went blank for a few seconds & he thought I was hesitating so he asked me not to worry coz it was meant for good thing. Ha ha I didn't know he can be so humorous.
Anyway, don't misunderstood. He's not a young man though he looks young for his age & I believe he's married too.
By the way, my sister & brother are back to Singapore for my brother's solemnisation ceremony. It's nice for the family to catch up & have fun together again (if Ian is here too, the family puzzle will be completed).
The solemenisation ceremony was successfully completed though there was some minor hiccups along the way.
Will try to upload the photos tomorrow or the day after.
Got to catch my beauty sleep! Need energy to peek tomorrow!
Just kidding lah, need energy to analyse defect causes actually. They knew I have engineering knowledge so they are trying to make me learn as much & as fast as I could to help to take over some burdens from the QA Inspector while actually I'm only an adminstrator!
I'm under paid then, aren't I?

ECO- day
Today is the company's Eco-day!
I was involved in the tree planting session. It was fun!
The company was generous. Beside giving us free gifts (a recycled paper bag, notebook & a pot of plant), we were entitled to free lunch as well.
The company has more than 500 employees!!!
It is really different working in MNC compared to a local company which I used to work.
Oh... by the way, the woman (see previous post) treated me extremely nice these two days! She took me to take my uniforms, helped me to get my laptop (which I can bring it home too!) & network setup, taught me how to do my work, brought me for lunch, introduced me to new colleagues etc.
I guess....
I misunderstood her in the first place! :p
She's a nice woman actually. :p cos she really helped me a lot when I was trying to settle down in a new environment.

I got a temporary job!
Got myself a temporary job as a Claims Administrator.
It doesn't pay a lot but it has a very flexible notice period.
The Assistant HR manager knew I'm still looking for a permanent position so she allows me to quit with a minimum of 2-3 days notice period.
I went for the interview & briefing on Friday & I like the cafeteria where I can get my lunch for $1 & packet drink for $0.20 only!!!
It's really great that I can earn money without spending too much for my meal. ^^
When I was about to leave after my briefing was over, a woman asked me whether I knew my way back to the reception to give back my visitor pass. I thought I could still roughly remember the way but she insisted showing the way as she was going for her lunch as well.
In my heart, I thought, "How nice of her!"
I was so WRONG!!!
She led me to the entrance of the cafeteria & asked me to pass through another building to get to the reception. I trusted her, thinking that it might be a shorter route cos I remembered passing through the cafeteria to get to the reception.
When I get to the building, my sixth sense told me something was wrong. So I asked a lady while she walked past me for the direction & she told me that the only route to get to the reception is to pass through the cafeteria as the 2 buildings are not connected!!!
Isn't that woman a bitch?!!!
She obviously knew the route but she purposely misled me!!!
So pissed off even when I'm thinking about it now & I still have to see her tomorrow.
Was told to offer to help her with her work if I'm done with my own stuff, but I guess I WON'T. I decided to do my work VERY slowly tomorrow & helping her is not part of my job anyway!!!
One good news is that she's leaving in a week time. Hurray!!!
No more facing this evil bitch!
No point having a pretty face with an evil heart!!!!

Decison Making
One of the major activities in our life is constantly making decisions.
Good decisions will lead to happy ending & bad decisions can ruin the whole life from that point on.
The process of decision making is really torturing. It feels like playing tug war internally.
Weighing the pros & cons do help in rational decision making but on the other end there's always another invisible force that just doesn't wish to let go.
No winner yet but it's going to tear my mind apart.
Which side will be the winner of the tug war eventually?
I have yet to know.

To be or not to be, that is the question
My relatives were asking me why I haven't get a job yet.
One of the main reasons is I didn't get any reply from the companies which I wanted to work in.
So they asked me to lower my expectations, like getting a lower pay or position to gain experience first.
I don't think I'm requesting an absurd salary. It sounds absolutely reasonable to me. However, if the company is the one I really wanted to enter or the position has good prospect, I don't mind lowering it further.
Really! I'm not choosy. I just don't want to be easy.
I don't want to work because I'm oblige to work. Dragging myself to work doesn't benefit both parties.
The same thing applies to my relationship too.
I don't want to get into a relationship just because everyone has.
It's my lifetime happiness, isn't it?

Walmart & Baby Jo
Happened to "passby" Walmart's website today.
"Always Low Prices"
How I wish Singapore has Walmart too.
Anyway, I was browsing its items & the baby's corner caught my attention. ^^
Found a few items for Carol as reference & the nearest Walmart store from Carol is only 3.21 miles away! Not that far away huh!
I have chosen three items which I quite like for Baby Jo & they are reasonably priced too.
Each item is not over USD 100 so should be quite affordable huh.
Of course there are more expensive ones if you are willing to pay more.
Ok firstly is the baby crib.
This is simple & nice huh ... 3-in-1 somemore (USD 98.88)
Same as above but in another colour.
This one is slightly more expensive (USD 99.88)
Ha ha only a dollar difference actually.
That's the magic of 3-in-one! Can turn into a toddler's bed.
Can turn into a mini sofa/chair too!!!
So cost saving huh!

Lastly..... a car seat! (too sleepy to continue to browse anymore*yawn*)

Doesn't this car seat looks so comfy?
Haha The colour looks so sweet too huh!
Of course, it's a cost saving item too!
It can serve from infancy through toddler years. (USD 39.84)

Who is scarier?
A ghost or a man?
My friends used to ask me whether I'm scare of ghosts whenever I bring my Happie for late night walk.
I don't.
I'm more afraid of meeting man with evil thoughts.
I'm experiencing Home Alone situation tonight & it is so scary coz I keep hearing strange noises in the living room.
I heard human footsteps & sounds of someone turning the door lock. Worst of all, my dog was barking at the main door fiercely just now! He only do that when there's people outside!!!
I immediately locked all my windows in the house & also locked myself in my room!!!
I don't care whether there is thief or whoever in the living room anymore.... Steal whatever you want!!! I'm too scare to go out!
When will dawn arrives?
Ghosts are not that scary anymore huh! Don't you think so?

Convocation
Had my convocation last Friday.
It was really nice & fun meeting my classmates again after several months.
The whole convocation was such an invaluable experience.
My classmates & I were always looking forward for this day to come whenever we saw others having their convocation in school.
Finally it was our turn.
That piece of certificate is my hard earned money & efforts for the past 3 years!
Like my sis said, that paper will provides me with opportunities.
I really hope so coz I didn't manage to do very well.
As usual, I always regretted.

Bad student
I realised I'm not a good student since young.
It might be I'm stupid & lazy coz I never ever work hard enough.
My neighbour came to me with this question:
What is the equibrilium temperature when 40 degree celsius water is added to 100 degree celsius water?
*Blank*
I didn't even know what formula to use.
Primary 6's science.
He asked:" Aren't you an university student?"
I replied, "I didn't study science in university!" I was still kinda embarrassed.
After flipping through my O'level physics book, I saw this chapter "Metal". I didn't even remember I ever studied Metal in secondary school. If so, why didn't I remember a single thing when studying about metal in poly?
Anyway, still have no clue how to get the answer & my neighbour gave up waiting for my answer too.

From the other part of the Earth
Had a surprise today from someone at the other part of the Earth.
A surprise which I never thought of.
All the way from USA, Yellowstone National Park.
I'm so touched T.T even though this Birthday card arrived slightly later.
Late is better than none. It's the sincerity that counts. ^^
Till now, I still cherish & keep all the greeting cards that I had received, including the one from Partyworld. Ha ha...
Anyway, THANKS YUJIA for the lovely card! Love ya! Miss ya too!!!
P.S. Don't forget about Koji & Hojito's photo huh & I'll take back my words about Eric..... for the time being...

One of my Fav site
Introducing one of my favourite websites to you guys.
http://www.style-arena.jp/index_e.htm
I love to see the way they dressed.
However, if we see people dressing up like them in town, people will stared at them as if they are monsters!
That's how conservative Singapore is.
That includes me too! :P

Poisoned.... or addicted
Recently, I'm totally obsessed with 蕭敬騰's performance & his shy & kawaii personality!
Spent several days to watch all the talk shows he was in & he was really really impressive!
He was able to remember the scores & the lyrics of the songs which others had requested to hear from him.
They were all requested on the spot! He didn't know what he was gonna sing that day.
IMPRESSIVE!!!
Most importantly is that he sang them all VERY well!!!
I'm Sooooooo addicted to his talent!!!
One of the talk shows he went (Part 1)
This is the best combination to sing for this song, 背叛. No one can sing better than them!
Talented people really do make a difference!!!

Clockwise or Anti Clockwise?
Is she spinning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Some people can only see one direction but most people can see both.
However, if you are able to make her spin both directions then you should also be able to make her spin the direction whenever you want by using your brain to activate....
Hee hee........
I DID! *Relieved*

Left or Right Brain
Am very curious which one I might be.
Left?
or
Right?
Therefore, I did several test to find out....
& the results showed that I'm a....
TEST 1
TEST 2
According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most.
TEST 3
.
.
.
Conclusion: I might be a right brainer.
Seems like I really need training to activate my left cerebral hemisphere so as to balance my brain dominance.

Can't help falling in love with his voice
His hairstyle was kinda weird haha but his new hairstyle now looks so good on him.
I personally think that 蕭敬騰 is much much more better than 楊宗緯.
His unique voice is so attractive & powerful... oh! It's addictive too!!!
His new hairstyle is nice right? I think he sang this song much cuter than Gary.
Did you realise he really loves to sing Gary's songs?
Sigh~ Singapore singing contest level seems very low after watching Taiwan singing contest. They are all mostly reaching professional level!
蕭敬騰 is definitely already at professional level!

It has been some times since I last drew manga.
Sudden urge to start drawing again & took about an hour plus to finish one of my favourite anime, 「ナルト」 (Naruto)。

The Story of Ugly Duckling
Do you know who this guy is...
Clay Aiken!!! (2003)
I watched only a few episodes of that season so I didn't know he looked SO nerdy in the past!
This was the Clay Aiken I saw when he was competing in the American Idol.... He was so different!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

and now he is sooooo GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Doesn't he look like the models in magazine?
Hard to believe that he used to look so nerdy in the past huh...
So nerdy guys, don't be despair!

I'm back
Back from China trip since Sunday night but because most of the photos are not with me so I couldn't blog on the trip yet. Sorry, will try to get the photos uploaded as soon as I got them.
Anyway, had a busy day today. Met up with Xian to collect our SM assignment & we went to ktv after that hee hee... yes just the 2 of us. But don't know why somehow I was not in good form today, haha cos I kept getting the key wrong & the songs sounded awful! Or maybe I do sound like that all the time & I only realised it today!?
After ktv session, I went straight to see Baby Cruz. Oh gosh! He is sooo adorable! He looked so fragile that I didn't dare to carry him till Gin forced me to ...
Baby Cruz was so calm but I was so scared *faint*
Being a mother is indeed tough! I saw how Gin's mum (Baby Cruz's grandmum) cleaned his poo poo........ I almost fainted standing beside her cos his poo poo was really smelly!!!
Tough job.... I can't clean poo poo... I think I will vomit before I finish cleaning.... better think twice now..... hmmmm......
Lastly, just for sharing for those who didn't know. I'm impressed by Japanese innovative capabilities! Hitachi Inc. has come out with a thinking hat that can move things just by THINKING! It's so perfect for a lazy bum like me!
It works by analysing slight changes in the brain's blood flow and translates brain motion into electric signals.
Impressed?
I AM!!! So far I can only see that in cartoons & movies.

"Happy-go-lucky"
Woke up around 11am for brunch today & then we went straight to see the temporary home for "Happy-go-lucky". My brother & I sat behind the lorry with Luckie but we were so unlucky that he pooed on the lorry! My brother & I were laughing hard as he asked me to catch his poo using the newspaper but I didn't manage to & the newspaper almost flew to his face. It was such a smelly journey & we were so scared that his poo will roll over to us!
The temporary home is quite shabby & hopefully they can bear with it for 10 days. I felt quite guilty for leaving them in such a shabby environment. *sad*
Hopefully I can make up for it by buying their favourite snacks. Most of all, I pray that the A.B.N wouldn't eat them up!!!! I'll kill them if they dare!

Shanghai here I come....
Went shopping with the girls today & I bought a pair of shoes for interview. The shoes is so pretty!
By the way, I will be going to Shanghai-Suzhou next week with my parents & the whole trip will be sponsored by my brother. ^-^ Yipppeeeeeeeee! My sis wanted to go too but she couldn't bear to leave my brother-in-law alone at home. Hopefully, we can go together next time.
Happie & Luckie will be taken care by my dad's colleague so hopefully they are still in one piece when I come back. *Pray hard*
If I know earlier that I'll be going to Shanghai, I'll buy ticket to Show's first selling concert in Shanghai. So coincidentally that he'll be holding his concert in Shanghai on the 9th where I will reach on the 8th but his concert tickets are hot selling & there's no more left. *sad*
So excited about my trip!!! Hopefully I can meet Asuka too. ^-^

jobs jobs jobs
It hard to find a job that you are satisfied with & it's even harder to find a short term job that the pay is satisfying.
I wanna go Japan so I'm afraid that I won't be able to get leave if I got myself a permanent job but those short term contract jobs' salary are really pathetic! $5.50-$9 per hour, how to live with that pathetic pay?
Sigh sigh sigh & if I couldn't find job in Nov after the Japan trip, how?????
So many uncertainties yet I really wanna go.....

Me & CX setting up the fire
Satay time!

Sobs Sobs
Prayer of a Stray
Dear God please send me somebody who will care!
I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair. My body is aching, racked with pain.
Dear God I pray as I run in the rain, that someone will love me and give me a home; a warm cozy bed I can call my own.
My last owner neglected me and chased me away, to rummage in garbage and live as a stray. But now I'm tired and hungry and cold,
and I'm truly afraid I'll never grow old.
They've chased me with sticks and hit me with stones, while I run in the streets just looking for bones! I'm not really bad God, please help if you can, for I have become just a victim of man.
I'm wormy Dear God and I'm ridden with fleas, and all that I want is an owner to please. If you find one for me God I'll try to be good. I won't run away and I'll do as I should. I don't think I'll make it too long on my own, cause I'm getting so weak and I'm so all alone.
Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry, cause I'm so afraid God that I'm gonna die. And I've got so much love and devotion to give,
that I should be given a new chance to live!
So Dear God, please answer my prayer,
and send me to someone who will really care!
