1 September 2007
Today is a happy and sad day for me. My first ex was getting married today and I am not the bride. He invited me to his wedding but I did not turn up.

How can I see the one I love, walk along the red carpet and solemn with another female instead of me. So I decided to attend my friend's organised party at MusicDreamer. It was the best way to escape from sorrow.

Before today, I went for a hair cut on Thursday. I cut my hair real short. To others, it was just playing with hairstyles. To me, I am wishing that new hairstyle means new life.

I know I cant bluff myself that I can forget him. But I have to tell myself, Elaine, Its time to let go. I am learning and hope one day, I can face him and his wife without feeling hurt.

This may sound stupid, but I really was unable to forget in one day. The happy times we shared will be my memory forever. I wish him happily ever after and hope that one day, I can find my Mr Right.

I tried to enjoy today's programmes. But somehow, I felt sad. I cant hide my feelings and do not wish to affect others. Hence, after the event, I decided to go off on my own. But I told everything to my best friend. She understands me and gave me a lot of encouragement. Thank you, my friend. Your performance was great. Really enjoyed at that moment and forgotten my sorrows. But I am sorry for making you worried. I promise, I will try and forget or let go him. This is something I have to do and must do. I must walk out of his shadow. I will and hope you will support me thru. Thank you so much....

Updates Updates and More Updates...(9 September 2007)
Hi All
Finally got the chance to sit down and pen down the updates... Well, I had a very busy week... As usual, Monday and Wednesday was used to go for my study after work.

To all who had just flipped to this blog. Yes, I finally enrolled and study at PSB Academy for my Diploma In Management Accounting and Finance. My class name was DMA3/07... I made a pool of friends there... They are all so loveable and friendly. We came from all different company and some even working not related to accounting at all(Just like me).

It is great where all came from different places and can get together as a class... Our age gaps was not very huge... In fact, the age gap was only a year or two... Haha...

Most of them took this course as they wish to change job. Some like me, took it for interest.. Interest??? I suppose so for me..

Every Monday and Wednesday was rushed for me as I need to have my dinner before I went for the lesson. As by the time I were to reached home, it is already 11plus liao... Didnt wish to eat so late meals. So had to plan my time well so that I wont be late for lesson. But glad that our teacher allow us to eat in the class while she teach but we cant bring in strong smelling food so as not to distract the class too much. Nevertheless, we will be given a short break for us to refreshed ourselves.

English class was never so fun before. The lecturer is friendly and she is also pretty... She is understanding and would released us very early... We like her way of teaching and enjoyed her lessons... Looking forward for tomorrow's lesson... :P

7 September 2007(Friday)
Friday(7/9/07), I went to watch movie with my two best buddies at Cathay AMK Hub. The movie we watched was Ratatollie... Haha.. It was cute and worth the ticket price I would say. We were very excited and looking forward for the movie. Indeed, the movie did not disappoint me. I enjoyed the whole movie. After movie, we went to arcade and played for a while... Then afterwhich, we walked to Mos Burger for a drink and chit chat as it was still early... We had some chit chat and then walked home together.

8 September 2007(Saturday)
On Saturday, 080907, I met one of my best buddy for KTV session. Why? Cos I need her help in choosing the song for my audition which is Sunday 090907... What audition??? It was the Fame Awards organised by Union and Sunday is the audition but I had not decide on what song to sing.

Luckily I have her by my side to help me choose the song.. Thanks Jorine.... We had great time together and had our dinner at Genki Sushi... Before the dinner, we went to Music Dreamer and registered for the audition on 26 September. Paid the fees of $16.05 and then we went for dinner. After that we walk walk a while, than we walked to the MRT station and we landed at Sengkang and went back to our home individually...

9 September 2007(Sunday)
Sunday, 090907, the day had finally came where my audition was scheduled. It was done at Scarlet City at AMK Hub. Though the audition was stated to be starting at 3pm, but we were asked to come early at 2pm to get things done. I must say that the audition was not an organised one. The person who is in-charge for the name ticking and give the queue number was not very experience and took up quite some time. The songs we selected was wrongly printed for some of us. Then when she tried to reorganised, she had many obsticles. People came in one by one and was all crowding around her. She should have asked according to the name list and get things done one by one. Anyway, it is ok for me as first timer.

Then once everything confirmed and queue number was given, we were asked to sit in another room whereby another organizer explained to us the procedure and what to do. Then the audition started. We waited in the room for our number to be called. Then line one by one outside the audition room. By the time it was my turn, it was already 4plus.. I did not sing well. So I supposed I could not get in ba... Haha... Anyway, I am not sad if I didnt get in. Cos I dot think I will be in the first place... Anyway, it is experience gained so that i can do better for the next round of audition for the other singing contests. I will not give up and will try and try and try.... Till I am too old for the competition... Haha... But must comment that the organizer did not done a good job. Though they updated all the songs for us in one of the list but did not update the list for the judges. I was so angry when they insert the song which I never heard of. Well, if they are organising the singing contest, I suppose all the information for judges must be correct and this mistakes should never happened. Hope that next round, they can do better... :P

12 September 2007(Wednesday)
The results were out in the morning. Expected, I did not get in. But never mind. I will go for another audition for MusicDreamer on 26 September 2007, Wednesday. I will try my very best and get the part time singer contract. Wish me good luck.

13 September 2007(Thursday)
Today is blood donation day. As usual, I am all ready for this. I went up at 10am plus... As it was still early, there wasn't a lot of donors.
The nurse who attended me was new, I think, as I never saw her before. Then I got a very bad feeling that today will not be successful. As I expected, there is bruises. Since there is bruises appearing, it means that the blood clots. Haiz... They stopped the process and applied medication and put ice bag on the affected area. So sad that this round again unsuccessful. Well, Saturday there is a mobile blood donation drive at Dhoby Ghaut. I planned to go there. Hope it will be successful. :P

14 September 2007(Its FRIDAY)
Today I made Eshal very angry. All cos my brain not thinking as I was very hungry. Didnt eat my breakfast. Haha... When she left to go Prinsep House for attending some matters, I finally got what she wants me to help. Haiz...

Then I tried and done at 1215.... Phey... Hope that when Eshal came back she will forgive what I had done just now after seeing that task I've done as per her request.

As it was heavy rain, Linda, Lili and I decided to eat Instant Noodles for lunch. So we went to 7-11 to buy. Then we headed back to office. When we went back, we soaked the noodles with hot water and headed back to our seats. After that, it was already almost 1300 liao. So Linda and Lili went up to have the dessert prepared by the Staff Lounge Lady. As I was quite filled up, so I did not went up eventually. I did some of the Mathematics homework and then went to clear my emails.

Suddenly, Altricia came and places a box of Bao Dian on my desk and asked me to pass to GC, Lili, Eshal and Azizah and also myself. Then she left... As it was fasting month and it wasnt halal, so I gave that bun to Linda instead. We sent emails to thank Altricia for her treat but told her next time dot buy hor.. Hehe...

Today got project discussion, so I left office early. Before I wanted to shut down my mailbox, I saw the weblink of the Mathematics help courtesy from Eshal. She was so good to me and helpful to me. Whenever I faced problems, she always helped me. I was so touched and appreciated the help she rendered and also time and again, the chances she gave me to change. She is a great manager and a great sister. If I were her real sister, I think, I will be the very fortunate sister. :P

26 September 2007(Wednesday)
Today was audition for MusicDreamer Singer. I and my friend registered but wasn't fully prepared.

Thinking back, I really chosen the wrong song. I should have chosen Cai Chun Jia's Feng Ling as this is the song I am very good at. But I chosen Diya's version of Chu Mo.

Very disappointed. Due to nervous. All my tune went out. Think I didnt got in was expected. Never mind. I will not be sad but it will be one of my experience gained. Next time, I will do it better.

Well, I must thank June for taking out her rest time. Rushed down here straight after work. Though I know I disappointed her, but she didnt mind. She even encouraged us and said we sang very well. I promise, next round, I will do my very best. Now preparing for next year's Project Superstar. Wish me good luck. Meantime, will look for opportunity to take part in small competition to gain more experience. :P

29 September 2007(Saturday)

Firstly, we went for KTV session from 11-2pm, we had lunch in KBox@Cineleisure. Very fun and enjoying. It was the first time we three meet for KTV session. Today was really special for us.

GEMs Course Day 2(Last Day-28/08/07)
Today was the last day of the GEMs lesson. Everyone was rushing to end the class early. What we did today was very simple.

We had some revision on what we had learnt yesterday. Then the lesson started with Irene discussing some key points and notes for us to copy.

Than it was a mini breaktime. After the break, we discussed how did we provide GEMs service in our worklife. Each group were told to give three scenerios and we must explain what each scenerio was. After that, we resumed the lesson again...

Than came lunch time. As it was heavy rain, initially, we do not wish to go out for lunch as it was super heavy rain. In the end, I managed to borrow an umbrella from one of the colleagues. Then we went out for lunch while some stayed back and ordered McDonald.

After lunch, we were told that we need to role play before we can end the lesson. So we were splited to a group of three and only my group was four as there are nineteen of us in there...
We had to role play being Customer, CSR and also Observant. But our group only did one part each as we lack of time. Before she ended the lesson, she asked us to form a circle and shared our views of what we had learnt today or for the whole course. The lesson finally ended at 5:15pm.... Earlier than yesterday.. Haha..

Anyway, I had lots of fun. I love attending fun courses. :P

English Skills Lesson 1-27 August 2007
Today was my first lesson in PSB Academy. In case you do not know what's going on. Well, I had taken up my part time Diploma In Management Accounting and Finance(DMA3/07). It will end probably in March 2009....

I reached the campus at 6pm and realised I was very early. So I decided to sit at the canteen and write some notes which I left out that day on the orientation.(23-08-07 was the orientation date).

When I looked at my watch minutes later, it was already 6:45pm. So I went to the big screen which indicates which room my lesson will be conducted. Once I saw it, it indicated that the room is A3-01. Which means, it is located at BLK A, Level 3 and Room 1. Very confidently, I went up to 3rd floor. I waited for any familiar faces but to my dismay, there wasn't. I waited and waited, the lecturer was still not here. I suddenly doubt the accuracy of the screen. So I went down once again and look at the screen. Oh dear, it was at BLK A but I was at BLK B... Haha... Wat a stupid joke....

Hence I look at the map located outside and managed to locate the location of BLK A. As I walked towards the BLK A, I saw someone very familiar... Look closely... Oh, he is Wilson who repairs for my pc at Income. So conincidence to see him. He was also shocked to see me. I told him that I came here for the Diploma course in Management Accounting and Finance and then bid good bye to him as I was running late....

After that I sms to him and said so suprise to see him here.. Haha...

When reached the room, I was perspiring and tired. A bit breatheless... Haha...

Luckily the lesson had not started yet. Miss Jacqualine Kuah introduce herself and given us her contact email so that we can email her if we have any problems.

Then she touched on the 30% for project work and 70% for exams. She told us that the project will be report writing of using 700 words... Oh my god!!! 700 words are alot.. haha.. Luckily it is group work... haha...

Than she touch on the grading of exams and the different group to be tested. There will be MCQ for Grammer and Vocabs, Summary writing and also Essay Writing. Oh boy... That is gonna be super tough. But she assured us, she will guide us along. So nice of her...

Before she begins the lesson, she did a short ice-breaking session. We had a mini self intro and get to know them better. Most of them are working in Accounting lines. Some, same as me, are not working in the Accounting Dept. Haha...

Then she begins the lesson with a small test to evaluate our English standards. Tested and proven, my English didnt improved at all... Haha..

Anyway, it is just a head start. The rest will be tougher and tougher as time goes by. I will update with all the things happened and what jokes did I made... Haha... Wish me good luck and hope I can score A's for all the modules. Haha... Jiayou... Elaine... Haha.. :P

GEMs Course Day 1-27 August 2007
Today was Day 1 for GEMs course. Actually I need not attend but thinking that there will be fun, so I agreed to attend... Haha.. Not to say I am very excellent in Go Extra Miles for customers be it internal or external. But cos I suppose GEMs is not much related to me.. haha.. No la... Just joking.

Day begins when I left my house late. Was supposed to meet Xiao Mei Mei at Serangoon at 8:25am. But decided to meet her at Boon Keng instead. So I sms her and changed the meeting place. When I reached Boon Keng, it was already 8:55am le.. Oh dear gonna be late for lesson if we cant find the place fast. Haiz...

When I refer to the map given but it was actually the wrong map and the buildings located in the map was all wrong. There was no No.65 building but a No.69 building. When we saw the Kallang Community Centre, we did not see the Luzena Building. Luckily, Xiao Mei Mei guessed the place correctly. When we walked further, she decided to continue walking till we cross over to the opposite brown building. When I was near the zebra crossing, I saw LUZENA on the outside of the compound. I praised her for her right decision. Thanks to her, we found the venue shortly.

When we reached the room, it was already 9:12am. We are late. Luckily, the lecturer, Irene, was friendly and she assured us that it is ok to be late as she herself almost lost her way when she came and familiarized the place last week.

She mentioned that just now she came in at 7am plus to find that this place in quite desserted. As this building was not fully renovated, hence many office spaces were vacant. The room which we were in was #03-204. Haha..

Basically, the class consisted of most staffs who just joined not long ago. They are very friendly and fun-loving. We played some games and had some experience sharings.

We also learnt many factors that leads to unhappy customers. There are many ways we can help customers and there are ways which could pulled the organization down.

Well, the lesson was filled with fun and many experience shared. Hope that last day will be fun too. The class was dismissed at 5:22pm. From there I rushed down to my part time diploma course though I knew I wasn't late.. Haha... Shall update tomorrow on the last day for the GEMs course. :P

Best Friends Talk Things Out Day(240807)
Today actually is a normal meeting of two best friends but was not actually a normal meeting afterall.

As i and another friend B, had some queries which we wanted to sort it out with C. Initially before the talk things out, we both were signalling and thinking how should we get things started. I suggested we go for dinner first but C was not hungry. Hence we decided to shop for a while and then headed for dinner.

While going, B and I were thinking, if C started the conversation, we will settled it at there(S11). But nothing was started and we proceeded after dinner.

Then we went to shop for shoes and then walk to buy bubble tea. Suddenly, C suggested we go for a chit chat at somewhere nearby. Wow, wondering was it she had sensed something or it was her thoughts when she met us.

So I suggested to go to the nearby block void deck to sit down and talk things out. We had a two hours or so problems solving. In the end, all that B and I thought was a problems, was later found to be a train of misunderstanding. All had a part to play for the misunderstanding.

Initially's unhappy was all gone. It is really great that we made it to sit down and talk things out. It made us realised how a misunderstanding occurs with just a small sms or a small gestures. To those who knew what was going on. Thanks for the golden advises and help. Without them, we wouldn't solved the misunderstanding. Thanks.
Firstly, I would like to apologise to Weiping and Yuhui for that day's plan of making you both waited for me. I will never do it again. I promise if I dot wish to meet, I will voice out and will never allow any misunderstanding to be occured ever again.

Secondly, I am glad to have such an understanding best friends since Secondary School to forgive my weaknesses and giving me chances for change. I am extremely happy that our friendship had passed tests and it was now risen to a higher level. Thanks, Weiping and Yuhui.
I hereby hope that we will never had any misunderstanding, hope that we will be forever best friends. I will try my very best to meet you both every week. But please pardon me if I am unable to make it due to my studies and work. Thanks in advance for the understanding. Friends forever.

PSB Academy Orientation-230807
As most of you had knew, from 27 August onwards, I will start my part time Diploma In Management Accounting and Finance. It is a day I waited and a goal I set long ago and finally, I made it a head start.

Today is an one hour orientation and it is a time we get to know the course more.

After work, I took train with Jevon and Serene as they are taking the same train as me. Think from next week onwards, every Monday and Wednesday, I will take train with them le... Haha.. New group to go with... :P

Then in the train, we chat about the flowers for Eshal yesterday. We all felt that it was not worth money. Could not think how would the flower cost so expensive. Haha...

Chit chat till I almost missed my Tiong Bahru... Oh yes, my campus is located at Tiong Bahru. It is just behind the Tiong Bahru Plaza. Had to walk 5minutes to reach the school. It was newly built. Previously was at Toa Payoh.

When I reached there, I was super early. The orientation started at 7pm but I was there at 6:10pm. Haha... So I decided to explore the canteen and that was where i spotted the mini Popular Bookstore... Went in and browsed through. Saw some of the books. Wow.... It was $50++.... Then I bought a note pad and a pen and a post it pad with PSB logo. Little did I know later I will have a pen and a post it pad haha...

Since I was early so I decided to do something silly. Guess what, I copied the menu from the canteen, word by word.... Haha... Cos really nothing to do ma. Finally finished copying, look at the watch... Oh it is almost time le, so I left and went to the classromm. B-204...

When I reached the classroom, signed the attendance, I was given a stack of notes on the introduction slides which will be shown later and students handnotes and also a book list with an overall time-table. I was told that the real time-table will be given on Monday on our first lesson. Wondering what will be on our first lesson.

The orientation started 5 minutes after 7pm with the intro of who is our Programme Executive(PE) and one of the lecturer started with the facilities around the campus. The operation time of the library and also the gym's operation time.. Haha..

Then they touched on the ground rules and regulations. He told us that they took examinations seriously. He also told us to start working hard from the first lesson and also he taught us ways to tackle the exam questions.

Sounds very simple, but I am now here worried what will be like in the lessons. As I had left school three years ago, so everything to me is new. Hope that first year will be smooth sailing and hope that I can managed my roles well.

The Orientation ended 15 minutes after 8pm. But it was already raining outside. As I did not carry unbrella, hence waited for the rain to be lighter than walked towards MRT station.

When the train reached Red Red Tomato, it was raining heavily. So I decided to alight at Yio Chu Kang and then took bus 265 home. Finally home for my dinner... :P It was already 10plus... Oh boy... What a tired day....

Update As At 220807
Today is another treat which I was the organiser. It was planned long time ago. In fact it was months ago's plan. Idea came from Linda and Lili. As Eshal treated us but didn't want us to treat her back. Birthday treat is one of the ways we can retreat her.

Initially was only three of us plus her. But in the end, we had added three more members, they are Latchimi, Esther and Mr Quek... Haha.. Well, we went to the restuarant at CHIJMES, the SUN restuarant(this is what we remembers). It was Lili and myself's second time dropped by at there to lunch. It was not cheap but we love the ambience and the food was nice. So it is consider value for money ba...

As usual, I ordered the salmon rice. Haha... Mine came last but I managed to finished it first... Then came the fruits(one small slice of watermelon and honeydew). Then lastly it was coffee. Actually, I cant drink coffee. But their coffee was not bad. Hehe... Think will go there again soon...

After that we left the restaurant and headed back to office. Was thinking what had Silveschoo got for Eshal as we all chipped in $4 for the gift. Expected it to be some thing nice. But when the flowers was delivered. All face changed. Was told that it cost $88.10 and was ordered from Noel. Oh my god... So expensive but the flower was not very nice wor... Vase looks like plastic and flowers are small. Had a tipped off that the actual cost was $65. There are total 23 person sharing each contributes $4, there will be $92... But where are the balance??? To be department funds ar??? Wasted our hardearned money and wasted my intention of getting whole department to chip in for a gift. At first I suggested to buy a cake, but later was changed to flowers which we also dot know why.

Luckily, we had given her treats and luckily, I bought her presents and handed before she reached office. If not later she mistaken that flower was my idea.. She was very nice, she sent thank you cards to us and say she was so touched by our gestured. Haiz.. If I were her, I dot think I would say I am touch wor... At most only say thank you.. Haha...

Right now, I am worried whether the novel I bought was ok a not as till now she had not commented anything. Or maybe I really did something wrong ba. Hehe... Anyway, Eshal, wish you HaPpY bIrThDaY... May all your wishes comes true. :P

TGPS 2nd Gathering-180807
Today was the day I waited very long... It is the once a year TGPS gathering. Remember the previous times was at East Coast Park. Very fun and was looking forward for the next one.
Last time did not stay back as I had work the next day. This time, no matter what have to stay back and chit chat with them.... It was held at a chalet at Downtown East, Block B, Room no forgotten le... When I reached there, a lot of them were already there... I saw my long time no see friends... Very happy to see them once again...

Though we are all doing different things after our Primary School, we are still so close. It is really rare and will cherish every moments.

To ask all to come on the same day was already not easy. Though it wasn't the whole class. At least there are more than half, I am also happy with that. That is why i insisted in attending even though I had just recovered from flu. It is an event that I shouldnt missed.

All wasnt having much changed except that we are more close and more humor... Throughout the whole gathering, we kept laughing and teasing one and another... Very fun...

The food prepared was nice and the person who barbequed the food, I must say, they are all professional... Thanks to Victor, Yili, Soon Ching and Yong Sean and many others. Without you guys, food wont be that perfectly done.

So much of catch up was done. We had lots of fun and we also had lots of photos taken.. Well, really really pleased that most of them took the effort in coming down. I met Melissa and Norlizah.. They had changed a lot, especially Melissa... hehe... She is mother of two boys le.. So fast hor... Norlizah is still cute cute and getting prettier... Hehe...

Well, as time reaches 11pm, most of them had left. Except some of the guys and some Huijing and myself... Haha... We had many mini chit chatting... We stayed awake till around 4am plus then one of the guys decided to call it a day. One of them said, why not we all had breakfast and left together since most of us lived in Red Red Tomato... haha...

So we packed up and headed to McDonalds where we had our breakfast and some chit chatting sessions. We left DownTownEast at around 5plus. As the bus was not here yet, so I suggested to walk to the interchange. That was a smart move as we get to have more chit chatting... We walked along the park and had our 'romantic' walk... Haha...

Then we boarded bus 88 and headed home. In the bus, all went for their nap except me and Yong Sean. So we begin another chit chatting till I reached my stop then I bid good bye to them...

Well, just would like to thank Victor for his hard work of getting us to gather in the chalet. Of cos not forgetting Jasmine who helped us in renting the chalet. Thanks for all the fun and laughter. I will date you guys one by one or group by group soon. Keep yourself free... Hehe..

Updates On 170807

Initially, the plan was to set off with her at 5:45pm de. But she was held up by meetings. So I was told to wait for her and then meet the rest.(Hui2, Kelly and Serene). I name this secret dinner as SHEK Lunch With Eshal.. Haha... Sounds like shrek but missing of R.. Haha

Well, we waited till 6plus then Eshal finished her work and able to leave with me. As I was having slight flu. So did not wish to talk much. But cant have no conversation with her while walking.. So chit chat a while.

When we waited for the bus to go Clarke Quay, she was asking me whether tomorrow will I stay at home or what as I was a bit sick. But I told her tomorrow I have class gathering to attend. She just shake head and say I very stubborn. Sick le still insist to go for garthering...

Then when we reached the destination, I told her my main reason for the mini mood swing. Then she say if it is not my fault, I no need to feel sad or what. Just be normal.

It was then, we saw Serene and she lead us to the restuarant. The ambience was nice and there are a lot of people queuing up. Luckily they decided to go there first. If not we have to wait for a while then can go in ar... haha

After placing the order, we had some chit chat session... Well, it was the first time we managed to date Eshal and also first time SK-II went out together... Haha..

The food was not bad. Before we left, Hui2 went to foot the bill then we will split the bill on Monday. Haha... We left the restuarant and went for window shopping. Saw many cute things but did not buy any. Then we spotted one cute japanese restuarant and we had already planned that next meeting we will go there and makan...

After window shopping, we decided to drop by at Ice Cream store outside Central. But upon seeing the ice cream was so expensive. One scoop cost $3.80... Oh my god.. haha.. Decided not buying. Besides, I'm really having flu... haha..

Than we walked along the river of Clark Quay and then headed home. But before we headed to MRT station or bus stop, we spotted a cute cake shop selling mini expensive cakes. But the feedback of taste was not nice although the design was nice and cute. Haiz...

Then we parted where Kelly took bus, Serene took the other side of the train and left Eshal, Hui2 and me...

Hui2 alighted at Dhoby Ghaut while I proceeded the journey with Eshal till Hougang then we parted. During the time when train reaching Hougang, we had a mini chit chat. She was concerned on whether I can cope well with three roles and asked me to give up data entry which I just picked up not long ago.

I told her I want to give it a try. I assured her that if I find that I really cant cope, I will let her know in advance. I shall proved that I can multi-tasking. Wish me good luck. :P

National Day 090807
Today is Singapore's 42nd Birthday. I was going to use special ways to celebrate Singapore's birthday.

I was part of the forming Singapore flag using Umbrellas @ Padang.... Sounds interesting???? But I can tell you it is a mixtures of happy and angry.

At 3pm, we all gathered at the meeting place. We were told to lined up in two rows so as to move in an orderly manner. Then we were told to queue with the rest. No one asked any questions and we just follow the leader blindly.

After around almost an hour with enduring all the pushing and squeezings and the cut queuings. One of them voice out the query, why were we queuing whereby we had already registered???
It was then, the Secretary realised that she should do something. As our group not consisted of adults. There were small kids tagging along. Some of them almost gave up. Luckily in the end, we were told to squeeze through and enter at the side.

When we were allowed to enter, all ran and grabbed the goodie bag and went to the destinated squares to prepare for the event.

I only came to know that it was not shown on tv for our event throughout the whole NDP 2007. The event started at about 6plus, where we waited for the helicopter carrying Singapore Flag across the sky, we done the wave formation for a while then, the whole event ended. I saw many were standing outside the fences looking at the big screen showing NDP2007.

But I did not stayed as I find it very bored. So I packed and left. When I reached home, NDP ended. I was dead tired and hungry. Almost no dinner for me as I had miscommunication with my dad.. Haiz.. Luckily my beloved mom shared some chicken parts with me. I ate two cups noodles and some chicken meats. Was super full... Haha.. Than I went to bed shortly after finishing all the household chores as tomorrow is a working day. :P

Thinking back, if next year when asked whether want to join, I suppose I will rethink ba. I am more interested in performing at the NDP2007. Maybe will seek help from friends or organizations to see if there is any opportunities for me... :)

Finally Body Signals Me To Rest :( 30 July 2007
26 July 2007
Today was a normal Thursday. As usual report to work at 8:30am... But was something different in the late evening. My cough became worst till I vomitted. Haiz.... Finally my body say, :"Hey! It's time you went to see doctor again to cure it right now."

So after doing my OT, I went home with my colleague. Then I visited the family clinic. When I reached there, there are already a lot of patients waiting. My number is 11 and the patient inside the room was only number 4.... No choice, have to wait... Finally it was me le, then the doctor asked me what happened. Than I told her that I had flu since 6 July and flu changed to cough at 16 July till now it had worsen to cough till I vomitted.

So she told me, tomorrow you better rest at home and no work for you. She also say I had very high blood pressure but was unsure was it due to that I was sick and having fever. So she asked me to come back three weeks later to test blood pressure again. Haiz... The reason why she so concerned is because, both my parents are diabetes patients. Hence, I got a higher chances getting it too. What to do??? That is what a good doctor should be concern.

After paying $29, I left home with four packets of sweets(Tablets) and one bottle of Strawberry(Cough Medicine). Haiz... Poor me.. When will I be able to be back to healthy again????

Then wait till around 5plus, my mum came back and she asked me what I wanted to eat. Thinking very long never eat Kaya Bread... So ask her buy one for me. In the end, she bought the four in one packet kaya bread.. As I was hungry, I ate all.... Then proceed for my second intake of medicines.. The antibiotics taste like vomit.... But no choice had to finish the course.... Sian ar...

Then I continue my work till 7plus then I finally finished all my tasks... But was already so late... Wanna take a nap also cant le... I was feeling very drowsy.... So I decided that tomorrow will be a pure rest day with no work.... :)

Even though I took the chinese medicine to stop the diarrhea, but I cant stop the stomach pain. Hence no choice, I sms to my manager and my colleague, Lili that I will be on MC today. Will be back tomorrow.

Guess what, I heard from my colleague, one of the colleague, who acts like she is very big, shouted very loud early in the morning:"Next time she on leave or MC, please tell her to report to manager!"

Wa lao eh.... I already sms to her early in the morning at around 7plus leh... She still say I didnt sms her. Then I send her again at 9plus, guess what? She scolded me and say NEXT TIME PLEASE INFORM EARLY....

Wat The Fish!!! I am not reporting to her at all ever since I am converted to contract. As my job scope is not handled by her... Just inform her out of courtesy, yet this is what I got in the end... Well, decided next time I WILL NOT EVEN SMS HER to INFORM HER LIAO....

Wasted my two smses for this stupid people. Anyway, I only need to let my manager and my work buddy know only ma... She is extra de... Haha..

Well, today feels much better after medication... So tomorrow will be back to office... Miss colleagues(except those idiots), miss my work desk, miss my food on my work desk... haha...
Most importantly, I miss my MANGOs.... Hehe...

Hope my stomach pain will be gone, my cough will be gone and my diarrhea will be gone and all leave me forever... Haha... No more medicines... No more doctors.... :)

Work Dilemma(Analaysis Problems)-21 July 2007
Thanks to those golden advise. Had sit down and rethink. Well, here is what I got after thinking.
Indeed, T is inconsistant in her rules and regulations. But I really can't blame her. She was forced to trained all staffs in my dept. If it was me, I bet I would do the same. Nevertheless, H is really overbroad. But I can't because of her ruin my project. As ultimately I am the project co-ordinator.

T's intention is to let all staffs in OS(Office Service Dept) to learn how to data. Actually, it will benefit the person who is doing scanning. Why? Cos when he/she learnt how to data, will also know what are the problems encountered when infor in the proposal form was missing. From there, they are able to alert us before they scanned in the proposal to the system when there is missing infor or unclear infor.

Actually, R was also Team 1 members. I should teach her one. But just that I don't wish they abuse the meaning of doing OverTime. I can teach R in office when she is available. I am also willing to help those who need my help. But I am not happy with H abusing her authority.
As for L, I guess T was unable to reject teaching her that day. As it will cause two consequences if she did that. It will cause H to lose face in front of us and demoralized L. Anyway, eventually all will get to learn how to data LUV. But only Team 1 will be equipped with data Life Insurance proposals and LUV proposals. Team 2 will only concentrate on scanning of LUV and LI proposals.

I guess, I shouldn't take it so hard. Should be willing if there is another person helping me. But I would hope to be the sole in-charge. Just want to see whether I can handle task myself. Just like my shifu, who handles so well in Incomeshield data entry.

Of cos, I need to know all of them la. I had already mastered almost all the products type for Life Insurance and knew how to data Incomeshield. Was quite fast when data LUV proposals. But as what T had mentioned in yesterday's mini meeting with Shifu and me, "NO ONE CAN WIN ME AS I AM TAKING IN NEW THINGS BEFORE THEM." So we must be willing to teach the rest so that we can absorbed new things.

T predicts that sooner or later, there will be new policies coming up, Once again, my data team needs to expand... Haha... Who is interested, just let me know and I will take note. When needed new team will think of you all. Take care folks and thanks once again for all the encouragement, golden ideals. Special thanks to those who are there when I venting my unhappiness.... Haha.. Adding more burdens to you all, I am sorry....

I must thank god that I had a group of lovely colleagues... Thanks all of you all.... Love you guys and do continue to view my blogs and leave any comments that you feel like posting. Be it good or bad, I will accept all...

Work Dilemma-17 July 2007
Those who work with me will know what had happened. I was very very confused and demoralized now. Work doesn't seem to be smooth sailing. I met lots and lots of obsticles and lots and lots of inconsistant guidelines to follow.

It all started when my manager(T) assigned me a new project to learn. T made it clear to me that she is only training Team 1 people for this new project.

Initially was smooth. I was assigned to teach them. Things happened. As I was sick for fourth days already, could not really conducted a proper lesson. But as I was only a junior clerk, all I could do is to listen to the third highest person(H)'s instruction. Left with no choice, a last minute data lesson was forced to conduct.

I was given one hour to prepare all the materials for lesson teaching. Everything went haywired and the notes I given was all in a mess. I did a short presentation as I was not 100% understand the product and how to data.

What I can tell them is only very basic data entry rules and regulations. After thinking when at home, I regretted giving them those notes and decided to go to office a bit early to re-prepare a more detailed notes so that they are able to learn from the screen shots printed.

After doing, I passed to T and she said she will go thru and see whether she is able to used them later. Which means she is going to reconduct the lesson once again for Team 1(only some of Team 1 retrained again). So she called for the meeting half and hour later.

There came another suprise, initially, T was very firm to say that L(one of Team 2 staff) was not included for data entry. But H brought her in and she was equiped with data knowledge, I was very upset when I saw this. Upset is because, T is not firm enough with her rules.

After the lesson, I was to guide them along when they encounter problems while T went for meeting after teaching. Everything went smooth till suddenly, those not supposed to data was doing data. Then I tried to feedback to T and came this reply: Only those who trained are to do data entry. But to what I know only some of us. Out of sudden, more people are doing data. Things getting a bit out of hand as there is no control at this point already.

When I feedback again to confirm who to do data and told T that those not supposed to do data are doing now. Then came this reply: Any problem with this? Tongue tied, I did not know what to react. All I could say is, mind not functioning after taken a lot of medicine.

Things got even out of hand when it came to OT on Saturday. R who was not supposed to appear in office came as H told her to come and claim OT. Dot learn during office hour. When R came, she put her things and came next to me, pulled a chair and said: H asked me to come and learn from you how to data.... OMG... Thought T made it clear that she will teach the rest ma?? Why I need to teach a newbies again???

As there is no instruction given to me by T that I need to conduct any lesson, I told R blurntly, I am not doing data entry now. R no choice went back to her seat and sit there doing nothing for an hour till H came. I feedback to T, there came a maddening sms reply,: Since she is at work, teach her lo.... WTFish.... Why me??? In the first place, R should not have come at all. Is not that I dot wan to teach people. But wasnt T made it cleared that she will teach the rest later? That was what I was told, I dot see why need to conduct a lesson just because she came. What if the rest came and must I teach them all? What nonsense is this???

Was really fed up with the situation I am in. I dot know why T became so inconsistant and tends to change her rules when H take things at her own hands?? What had happened? It's driving me crazy soon. What should I do??? There will be more and more this nonsense appearing. How to bring my mind in peace? Haiz.... Fan ar.... Sad ar... Who tell I am just a small clerk where H is special grade clerk, much higher post than me!!! What can I say when she instructed me to do this do that, even if I am not ready also must do!!! FED UP AR!!!! Just venting my anger here as there is no place to vent anger at.. Really very demoralized. Thought I am the one who second decisions made but ended up being the follower of another rules made. This is not the first time I was caught in between. When wanted to follow T's instruction and be firm to H. But in the end, when I say NO, H will still get a YES. What's the use of following T's instruction when T is not even firm in any rules made? She kept wanting us to be on the same mindset as the management. But when the management herself not consistant, how can we as the surbordinates have the same mindset when there is no standard mindset at all???? Who can teach me how???

What Really Went Wrong???-17 July 2007
Couldn't think of what title to put for this blog... Suddenly feel that I shouldnt be interfering. I know I am wrong in some ways.

Too many secrets hiding from her... If I said that earlier, all the misunderstanding would have been cleared. The situation wont be like this.

It all started in year 1999. We met in a workplace. Let's name Party A, B and C... Party A and Party B were colleagues and close work buddy and also close friends. Party A and Party B knows each other very well. Then came Party C, who is special to Party A. Not long later Party C was also special to Party B

All was very happy till one day, somethings happened which involves another person, Party D. Everyone mistaken Party D and Party C as none of them explained the truth. Rumours spread and everyone came to learn Party C and D's matter. Party A heard it but was all in the wrong version. When Party A asked Party C, Party C avoid answering. When Party A asked Party D, Party D did not wish to further explained. Only recently, the truth revealed when Party D cleared the misunderstanding.

Initially thought finally problems had solved, but that was not the case. Party A was not happy. Not cos of this incident but was cos for 7 years, Party C did not celebrate any of her birthdays. Although there was genuine reasons behind for four occasions, but Party A finds it hard to accept the other reasons which is way too difficult to accept.

There came another situation which is Party B's fault. Party B should have informed Party A earlier of Party E's exist. But what Party B did not expect is, Party A would met Party E. Though Party A was taken aback, but she act normal in front of Party C. After that Party B tried to explain to Party A, but it was too late. No one would understand how Party A felt. Party C's changes was too much for Party A to bear. Party B was guilty for not able to minimize the pain for Party A. But what's done cant be undone. All Party B could say to Party A is Sorry.
All Party B could do now is to ask Party A to forgive Party C. But was in a dilemma as to how to broke the news to Party C. As Party B knows that we should not look back and hold onto those unhappy memories. Party B also know that Party C will have her reasons for all the actions. But whether Party A and C will be as close as the past, no one knows except they themselves. Party B, being in between them, only wish that one day, they can sit down and talk things out. As eventually, the one who can help in this situation is they themselves.

But there is also a worried in this, what if it turns out to be Party A was forced to give up Party C? Party A would sure heartbroken and Party C will also hurt. What should Party B do? Sit there and do nothing? Or trying to help in any ways which Party B is able to?

Being so long relationship with Party A and Party C, Party B really wish to see that things are like in the past. All are happy together again.

Party B is really very sad if the end results is not happy ending. Party B knows that Party B is in no position to comment anything as Party B did not know what Party C is thinking although Party B and C seems very close. Party A is tired of being the one who give in. On seeing such a long relationship to be given up is a pity. Party B really hopes that the person who read this blog knows what Party B is hinting. Hope that sunshine really comes after the rain.

PS: If you do not understand this blog, means you are not the person involved in this blog. It is meant for the person who is involved to get this message in. Losing someone you cared is very hurting. If you do not voice out how much you care for the person, that person will never know how much you care for him/her. Relationship will end due to stubborness and proactive move. Many relationship ended is due to lack of communication. Only Party A and Party B are able to help in salvage this mess and only they can untie the knots in their hearts. Hope everything is ok soon.

Days Without Mangos(Sick Week)-14 July 2007
09 July 2007(Blue Blue Saturday)
Terrible was used to described TODAY... OMG... Had been scaring myself that I am not a human as I very long never sick le.... Finally, flu virus had located me and invaded my body... I was sneezing whole of Saturday... Thinking that it will end when I took 2 tablets of CLARINOSE... It did stopped the sneezing but did not stopped the running nose... Feeling so sick, work still have to be done... Haiz... Never mind... Spent one hour clearing my work.. Then it is dinner time... Ate dinner and then took 2 more CLARINOSE tablets and went to sleep...

11 July 2007(Super Quiet Elaine Day-Monday Blue Lots)
Thought flu virus had left me after one day rest(although still went out to visit my grandmother). To my dismay, I had blocked nose the whole day... As my colleague was on leave till Friday than come back. No choice and since not that serious, I went to work as usual... Before reaching, I smsed to all my lunch kakis to tell them to leave me a distance if their immune system was not so good as I am still flu virus carrier... Haiz... (Was super quiet the whole day)...

Sad to say, they(my lunch kakis) forbided me to eat or drink mango as it was heaty... OMG.. No mangos for today!!! Haiz... Can die man... But in the end, still survive... Hoping that tomorrow will recover... Very obediently, I followed the instruction, to take 2 tablets of CLARINOSE twice a day.

I took one after eating my breakfast...When reached home, I took 3 tablets of CLARINOSE, thinking eat one more won't die la... Things happened the next day...

12 July 2007(Drowsy Tuesday)
As a results of overdose of 1 tablet from last night(though it doesnt sound serious), but there is a side effect for overdose even 1 tablet. As written on the medicine box, it doesnt cause drowsiness.... Drowsiness will occurs if you try what I tried. The whole day to me was like a dream...

Tried to stay forcused but unable to... Then at around 10plus, Eshal called for a short meeting... OMG.. Already feeling drowsy liao still got meeting to attend... Haiz...

To be frank, at first I did heard what she was talking. Come to the second part of the meeting, my mind was going wild... Could not forcused and also could not get what she was trying to say... WTFish.... Haiz... So when she asked me:"Will you accept this image?" I was stunned and did not know what to say... I heard of that before yesterday as they had a heated disagreement over ticking.... Actually was a super small matter but due to need to follow guideline, none of them could came to an agreement. Finally, after Eshal's instruction, it was finalized. Though I know the answer should be, ACCEPT THE IMAGE. As I was not really doing scanning job, I did not answer. Luckily Eshal let me off by say:"Oh... You very long never do scanning, forgotten liao ar. Never mind"... If not hor, I also dot know what to reply ar...

Very sian hor... Due to small matter, there is a heated debate... Haiz... That was office life... :(

Finally, the conclusion was, to accept when there is at least a ticked on the proposal numbers. No need to argue that ticked at the top of the paper, contents never ticked, reviewer are to accept or reject image scanned. In my point of view, ticked or no ticked is really fine lo... What Eshal say was very true... Ten years down the road, do you still remember why you ticked that proposal number or numbers? So she say, even if no ticked, I typed in the proposal number(s), the correct image showed up, she was fine with that.(very true)... The funniest part was, when she said, I do not employed you all to do the ticking hor... Haha... Funny hor.... Whatever...Drowsy ar... Shen Ar Jiu Jiu Wo Ar....Really could not concentrate ar... But cant go home... Thinking after lunch might feel better.... Who knows after lunch still drowsy feeling... OMG...

On the way home, I told Huiz... She say why never tell her earlier, if not she would tell me to drink pure lime juice as that would cured drowsiness.... WTFish... Haiz... Anyway, going home time... So never mind anymore le... Hopefully tomorrow will be fine liao.... But I was totally wrong... :(

13 July 2007(Not So Well-Wednesday)
Tough blocked nose was cured, but I still doesnt feel well... Today started to be a bit talkative, but the drowsiness was still haunting me... Haiz... At least able to concentrate a bit la... Did not tell anyone... As lunch time went over, hoping that drowsiness will subsided.... Sad to say it didn't... Haiz... Another sick day today... Had been forbidded to eat or drink mango since Monday le... Today still could not get to taste even a bit of mango... So sad... More blues when drowsiness still haunting me... But they said I sounded better today... Better than Monday and Tuesday... Is it a sign of recovering??? Sad to say, was YES initially but....

14 July 2007(A Bit Ok-Thursday)
Sad to say, though flu and blocked nose left me, I am still a flu virus carrier... Why??? Cos flu and blocked nose had turned into cough... OMG... Terrible cough.... Initially was ok... Then was asked to teach the rest how to data new product... There is two session each took about an hour or so.. Haiz... Sick still have to teach... Who to pity me?? Sob..Sob...Its ok... Finally everything settled at around 4plus... By that time, my emails piled up and already felt very sick le, cough getting worst liao... No mood to even clear those pending emails...

I itchy mouth, went to drink a cup of COKE, thinking that nothing serious will happened... That was a killer... My cough worsen after work.... Cough till I hardly breathe...

Since it was so serious.... I finally went to Clifford Family Clinic to visit a doctor. Today was not the usual doctor who attended to me... It was a male doctor... He prescribed a bottle of cough mixture(as usual) plus a phlegm tablet. All this plus consultation fee cost me $19... Haiz... No choice... Luckily, can claim medical fee ar... But will only be back to my pay end of this month...(Sob...Sob...)

Was very obedient again this time, follow the instruction and took the cough mixture and the medicine for phlegm and went to bed straight... Had split headache also... Hence took 2 tablets of PANADOL EXTRA... Thinking, tomorrow will sure recovered... :(

15 July 2007(Its FRIDAY-But No Mood)
Today was awaken by cough and last night didnt sleep well either... Woke up as early as 6am... Never woke up that early before in the days of my working days... Haiz...Anyway, suddenly thinking, I need to go to workplace early a bit to reprint the screen shots as yesterday's lesson was haywired(last min ask me teach of cos haywired la)... So I reached office a bit early la... Think around 8:20am ba... Hehe... Then went to do the screen shots.. Greeted my colleagues and then concentrating doing the screen shots...Finally had came out an updated and full detailed teaching guide... So I went to Eshal's desk and handed that copy and explained why I redo. She say she will go thru and then will conduct a lesson later... So happy that my hard work was paid off... Though I am still very sick...

After the small lesson, I felt super sick... But hang on thinking, after taking the medicine, I will feel better.... To my dismay, it is getting worst... From bad to worst...

The medicine not only did not help to cure my cough, it does not cause me drowsiness though it was supposed to be drowsiness medicine, it made me almost no voice to talk... I looked even more pale... OMG... Luckily today lunch is in office... No need to go out.. I ask my colleague to buy hebal tea for me..

She bought the hebal tea and also a cough sweet for me... That sweet was a bit effective, it did minimized the number of times I am coughing, but did not really cure me... Huiz suggested that I buy the syrup... I walked around AMK Hub, to NTUC Fairprice, to Unity, finally spotted the syrup... But it cost $9plus... OMG... Hence I did not buy... Searching and searching, finally found the sweets in 7-11 which cost $2.10 each bar... I also saw that syrup but was also $9plus... Hence I did not buy... Thinking, sweet is more than enough liao... So went to pay and went home to rest...Was so sleepy today... I dozed off after finishing my household chores..... Hope today will have a good nite sleep as tomorrow got OT to do...(suppose to be data entry support team) Haiz...

16 July 2007(Not So Good Saturday)
It had been 8th days after I kana the flu virus... Today was a bit better.. Cough had lessen... But still not fully cured... Haiz... 8th days no mango to drink and eat... So sad.... Today went to work(OT) at 8:30am... Start the pc and guiding those new data staff.... Was less tiring as their problems are not so much... Though a lot of cases pending in my account... But will solved on Monday(hopefully)...

After work at 2plus pm, I took Bus 14, thinking can change bus home from Bedok MRT station. Halfway thru, I alighted and changed to Bus 10 to go Tampines as I missed my ex-colleague from KFC and my god-sister whom I haven seen for weeks... created a suprise visit for my god-sister.. She was indeed suprises... Haha.. That was my purpose of visiting... :)

Then I went down to my ex-workplace... Saw one of my ex-colleagues who is still working there.... She told me, they short of manpower... I told her no choice as i really cant help out..

Then smsed Shukrie to ask if he can spared few mins for chit chatting... He agreed and we did chat for 10 mins.... Hehe... Great to see them again... But miss Sister Edel very much... Smsed her several times but no reply... Wondering how is she... Anyway, I am happy today as I get to visit my ex-colleagues... Also get to see my god-sister.... My health is getting better.... Hopefully will fully recovered by tonight after trying the new medicine which my mom say is efficient... Pray hard it will cured me fully...

Shall end here.... Will update when I am free... Take care all and may good health surrounds you everyday. :P

Lots Of Love

Sad Love Story(30 June 2007)
那是一個非常寧靜而美麗的小城﹐有一對非常恩愛的戀人﹐他們每天都去海邊看日出﹐晚上去海邊送夕陽﹐每個見過他們的人都向他們投來羨慕的目光…… 　　

可是有一天﹐在一場車禍中﹐女孩不幸受了重傷﹐她靜靜地躺在醫院的病床上﹐幾天幾夜都沒有醒過來。白天﹐男孩就守在床前不停地呼喚毫無知覺的戀人﹔晚上﹐他就跑到小城的教堂裡向上帝禱告﹐他已經哭乾了眼淚。 　　

一個月過去了﹐女孩仍然昏睡著﹐而男孩早已憔悴不堪了﹐但他仍苦苦地支撐著。終於有一天﹐上帝被這個痴情的男孩感動了。於是他決定給這個執著的男孩一個例外。上帝問他﹕“你願意用自己的生命作為交換嗎﹖”男孩毫不猶豫地回答﹕“我願意﹗”上帝說﹕“那好吧﹐我可以讓你的戀人很快醒過來﹐但你要答應化作三年的蜻蜓﹐你願意嗎﹖”男孩聽了﹐還是堅定地回答道﹕“我願意﹗” 　　

天亮了﹐男孩已經變成了一隻漂亮的蜻蜓﹐他告別了上帝便匆匆地飛到了醫院。女孩真的醒了﹐而且她還在跟身旁的一位醫生交談著什麼﹐可惜他聽不到。 　　

幾天後﹐女孩便康復出院了﹐但是她並不快樂。她四處打聽著男孩的下落﹐但沒有人知道男孩究竟去了哪裡。女孩整天不停地尋找著﹐然而早已化身成蜻蜓的男孩卻無時無刻不圍繞在她身邊﹐只是他不會呼喊﹐不會擁抱﹐他只能默默地承受著她的視而不見。夏天過去了﹐秋天的涼風吹落了樹葉﹐蜻蜓不得不離開這裡。於是他最後一次飛落在女孩的肩上。他想用自己的翅膀撫摸她的臉﹐用細小的嘴來親吻她的額頭﹐然而他弱小的身體還是不足以被她發現。 　

　
轉眼間﹐春天來了﹐蜻蜓迫不及待地飛回來尋找自己的戀人。然而﹐她那熟悉的身影旁站著一個高大而英俊的男人﹐那一剎那﹐蜻蜓幾乎快從半空中墜落下來。人們講起車禍後女孩病得多麼的嚴重﹐描述著那名男醫生有多麼的善良﹑可愛﹐還描述著他們的愛情有多麼的理所當然﹐當然也描述了女孩已經快樂如從前。 　　

蜻蜓傷心極了﹐在接下來的幾天中﹐他常常會看到那個男人帶著自己的戀人在海邊看日出﹐晚上又在海邊看日落﹐而他自己除了偶爾能停落在她的肩上以外﹐什麼也做不了。 　　

這一年的夏天特別長﹐蜻蜓每天痛苦地低飛著﹐他已經沒有勇氣接近自己昔日的戀人。她和那男人之間的喃喃細語﹐他和她快樂的笑聲﹐都令他窒息。 　　

第三年的夏天﹐蜻蜓已不再常常去看望自己的戀人了。她的肩被男醫生輕擁著﹐臉被男醫生輕輕地吻著﹐根本沒有時間去留意一隻傷心的蜻蜓﹐更沒有心情去懷唸過去。 　　

上帝約定的三年期限很快就要到了。就在最後一天﹐蜻蜓昔日的戀人跟那個男醫生舉行了婚禮。 　　蜻蜓悄悄地飛進教堂﹐落在上帝的肩膀上﹐他聽到下面的戀人對上帝發誓說﹕我願意﹗他看著那個男醫生把戒指戴到昔日戀人的手上﹐然後看著他們甜蜜地親吻著。蜻蜓流下了傷心的淚水。 　　上帝嘆息著﹕“你後悔了嗎﹖”蜻蜓擦乾了眼淚﹕“沒有﹗”上帝又帶著一絲愉悅說﹕“那麼﹐明天你就可以變回你自己了。”蜻蜓搖了搖頭﹕“就讓我做一輩子蜻蜓吧……” 有些緣份是註定要失去的。愛一個人不一定要擁有﹐但擁有一個人就一定要好好去愛他。你的肩上有蜻蜓嗎﹖

Today I thought when Eric came, my emails will be able to recovered. But he told me a cruel truth... My previous emails was nowhere to be found... So sad.. But never mind. I had already decided to start from the scratch le. Now I learnt to backup my mails.Today was tired... Had been yawning away...

Lunch with Eshal today was like normal days... We went to Bras Basah there to eat and then shop at Popular. I found my Jing Tian Yi and she found the games she wanted.

Satisfied with our purchases, we went to Cheers to buy drinks. Then she said sadly that she cant find that coffee chocolate which she found that day at 7-11 store. Then I decided when I go there will buy one for her.

In the end, she bought the Pokka Mango Tea(2 For $2) and she gave me one bottle when she passed by my seat. She is very cute... Just like my sis.. Maybe because she is the eldest at home ba. So got that feel of being eldest here.. hehe...

The day ended with me meeting Jie after her work. Initially didn't plan to meet her one. I was actually thinking of going to express store to retrieve my bottle de. But she called me and ask me where am I. Tell me to meet her at store. So I went lo.. Then ask her to treat me Meltz.First time tasting Meltz after so long... Really happy and surprised that she really treat me... Hehe.. She is very good to me. Was fortunate to have her as my sister(though is not real sister but god-sister) but she treat me like real sister. Although at times she is forgetful. But I will forgive her as she is my Jie... Hehe... We went shopping at Tampiness Mall and then went back to take bus to send her home... Before reaching the bus-stop, she spotted a jacket but was not what she wanted. It was cheap... Only $28(now is already $22)... Planned to buy her one when I got my Income pay... Hehe.. She has to wait lo.. No choice... Her this sis no money de... hehe..

Today is like a normal day.... But it is also a tired day.. As yesterday I reached home quite late... Today I and Huihui became surprise angels... She went to buy the cake for Lee Lee who's bday is tomorrow. We scare she will be on leave so we bought for her one day in advance... Suddenly felt that it is fun... Hehe...

As it is raining, she went to TCC at SMU to buy the small but cute cake for Lee2... When she received that cake, she was so surprise and happy... She didn't expect we were to know.. She kept saying:"No need la..." haha... But she was smiling sweetly.. Super happy... All the tiredness vanished at that moment... We chat with her for while and then went back to work...

At 6:30pm, I received a call from Eshal... She ask me wanna give condolence money to Wee's grandma who had passed away... I say ok but ask her how much.. She say either $10, $20 or $30.. So I chose $10... hehe.. Then I asked her where is the wake held. She told me at Boon Keng.. Thinking it is very near.. So I said I am going. At first thought of getting a cab, but none is confident to fetch me till there before 7pm... Running out of time, I decided to take bus to Hougang then take MRT to Boon Keng.. So I went to the bus-stop and see which goes the shortest route.

By the time I reached Hougang(took Bus 74e but was not fast at all), it was already 7:10pm.. Jialat ar.. To Boon Keng still have the following stop after Hougang-->Kovan-->Serangoon-->Potong Pasir--->BOON KENG... According to the board travel time is 11mins.. But I think is more than that as I reached Boon Keng at 7:35pm... Haiz.. Finally reached there... I finally saw Wee's wife.. So beautiful... Hehe.. We chat for a while and then left...I went back to Hougang with Eshal and walk her to her block's carpark. Then I went to take my Bus 88... By the time I reached home, it is already 10plus... Wat a tired day again...

Before that... Today is also a blood donation day... At 10am, I went up and registered myself for the donation... That doctor was inexperience and last minute than checked whether the machine works. When the power failed to work, he uses the traditional blood pressure machine... As it was only just started, hence did not have a lot of people there... It took few minutes for everything to be settled...

As usual, my veins are too tiny and need time to find... But it took less than a minute for that experience nurse to locate the vein... Phew... Everything went smoothly and I came down at 11:30am.. Just in time to reply some emails and prepare for lunch appointment(TE2) hehe..

Today I met Weiping and Yuhui to go walk walk at AMK Hub. As usual, I meeting Weiping first then wait for Yuhui to arrive.
When YH reached the destination, we decide where to eat as we were all farmished. At first, I suggested to eat at Mac. But they got another place to find food, MOS Burger. When we went there, it was full house inside and left with one seat at the far end of their balcony seats. That place was stuffy and hot. Hence we decided to wait for seat to be vacant. We waited for almost ten minutes, no vacant seats available. So we decided to eat at Mac in the end.
After eating, we initially decided to shop at AMK Hub, but YH suggested to go Arcade at Jubilee. After last time's arcade time, I am quite hooked.
So we all agreed. I went to that arcade's counter to purchases the card. We played alot of games till it was almost 10pm when we left the arcade to home... Very fun but tiring. We had a wonderful time today. :)

7 June 2007
Today the IM(people who solve our I.T problems in office) came when they read my nAction on the error while I was replying emails. Logically when click reply all, all the sender's emails address including yourself will appear in the address collumn. But my email address was auto missing.
Hence i decided to call for assistance to fixed this problems. Little did I expect that this will lead to a serious consequences I had to bear.
I thought everything will be smooth and things will get better. Who knows, when i was about to leave the lounge, that IM came and tell me this shocking news. Your email had crashed and we are trying to retrieving them.
Oh shit... I cant lose my emails. I pray hard that nothing serious will happened. But I was again wrong. He told me another shocking news. He said he cant retrieve them back at all. Oh no.... All my 'wu ling mi ji', my pending cases are all gone.... How am I to work without them???
He not only said that and he told me that he is trying to find solution. But not long later, he moved around and did not tell me the outcome. Left with no choice, I had to start from scratch...
I started to recreate folders and save the emails. Thinking that nothing worst will happened after this. I was totally wrong...
Sad sad, I went to arcade again to play. But did not win in the games I played. So sad. What happened?? Where is my luck angels??

8 June 2007
Today when I open my emails, i discovered that something is not right. I came to realised that all the folders which I created was all gone. All my sent items was also wiped out. Oh gosh... All data lost... Worst thing is, when I tried to reply emails, the contents below auto deleted... Alamak....Die liao... Email got virus... PC got virus. I immediately route an nAction to the IM, Eric. But waited for some time no response. Hence my colleague suggested that I call Eric to check if he is free to come and help me. Sad to say, he is not free today. But he called me up later the day and say he is free on Monday and will come and check. I hope that by the time he come, he is able to retrieve all my lost data.

*Nothing seems to goes smoothly for me.. Feel so moody. Who can save me?? Who can help me?? Hope there is solution soon. Sad sad de JingDiWa.. :*(

Cousin Edmund And Cousin In Law Karen's Wedding Day(010607)
The day starts from 5am, when I woke up and play computer game for a while. Then do some household chores and get ready by 6am....(Very early, not my usual timing for wake up time)Hehe..By 6plus am, my elder brother came with his black KIA Picanto(Wonder did I spelt wrongly) to pick Mummy and me up to set off to my Aunt's house to wait for the main leads, the bride and groom...
When we reached the carpark, it was already 7am... We thought we are early. But when we walked down the stairs, I turn my head and looked down, the car which accompanied the bride's car came back. Immediately, I told my mum that I think they are back liao. Then my brother exclaimed, "Wow, so early ar"...We hurried to my Aunt's house and when we reached, they are(my relatives) all in one of the bedroom.
There, on the bed is Little Magham(my cousin's daughter who is barely 3months plus) She was in the process to change her diaper.. Hehe.... She became the main lead for the time being while the bride and groom came into the house.
As tradition, we cant be outside when they stepped into the house. So we all hid in the room till they came in and sit down then we can go out...
Cousin in law, Karen was very very gorgous... She is like an angel and fairy.... Rest for a while and had our breakfast buffet, it is Tea Ceremony, where the bride and groom serve tea to the elders and they will received either ang pows or jewelries or both by the elders. As for those who is younger than the groom and bride, will have to serve them tea and in return, they will give ang pows to the young ones.(Just like me)...
The tea session ended in a short while, then it was photo taking session where we are grouped according to relationship type... We had lots of fun.
After photo taking session, they set off with a carton of drinks to outdoor for more photo takings and change clothes for bride to the red traditional wedding gown to set off to her house for tea ceremony.
We stayed at my Aunt's house and chit chatting also not forgetting the cute cute Little Princess Magham... She was very photogenic... She was also very clever where she will forcus on the camera but refused to smile on photo shots... Hehe.. Cute right??
We stayed till around 11plus, then set off home to catch some rest and for some hairdo for tonight's dinner at Furama Hotel(hope I spelt correctly).
Once again, my brother came to fetch us. When we reached there we are caught in the traffic as we made the wrong turn. Then I called my second brother for rescue ideals. After he told us to turn, we managed to get into the carpark.
It was 8plus pm, we went to the wrong floor. Luckily, there is a tv that directed us to Level 5, Grand Ballroom with my cousin and cousin in law's nice photo shots.
When we went up, there was already a lot of guests. Some is from my cousin's workplace, which is also my Second Uncle's company's colleagues.(Staffs from Assurich)hehe.. There were more than 40plus tables I supposed. When everything was settled, we sat down to wait for the dinner to starts.
Before we cheers and congrats the bride and groom, they showed us pictures they took on their ROM day. Followed by the scenes where my cousin won the access of marrying my cousin in law.Hehe... Well, everything was so lovely and cute and fun... Love is in the air at that moment.
Then the MCs told us to stand up and welcome the bride and the groom. When they reached their table, dinner begins with techno music and romantic ways of serving food.After a few dishes of food, the bride and the groom left to change for another set of clothes. When they came back again, they sing duet while walking down the red carpet. So nice... So romantic... How I wish I am the bride...(keep dreaming)...
When they reached the stage, the song had almost ended. It is time to open champange and champange pouring session begins... Then the MCs invite the friends and immediate families on stage to have the YUM SENG session... Three cheers of YUM SENG for blissing the bride and groom... May they be happily ever after, with good health and most importantly, make an offspring soon...(zao shen gui zi).. Hehe...
Then we sat down for more dishes to come... As for the bride and groom, it is photo taking session... Which is they went to every table for group photo taking... It was then, my brother decided to sabo him by mixing wine and beer that will knocked someone down if you are not a good drinker.. Hehe... Though very bad but it is a once-a-lifetime things... So after this no chance to sabo him openly le...
Then when he came, he drank that cup of mixture about half a wine glass and he said enough le... After that, he went to another table and drink other cups created by the friends.. One of the table even mixed till it looks like Iced Milo... Poor him.. But once-in-a-lifetime, so never mind la...
The dinner ended around 10plus and we set off home... Finally the day had ended.. We had lots of fun and lots of great food with good services from the hotel banquet staff... The ambience was romantic and great.. Just like a dreamland to me... Hehe... Suddenly feel like getting married soon. But sad to say, I am still single and available.. Haha...(Marriage leave me very very far away...)Opz...
Anyway, congrats to Cousin Edmund and Cousin In Law Karen... May they live just like fairy tales, HAPPILY EVER AFTER.... May all couples live HAPPILY EVER AFTER... Hehe.. :P :)

Would You Be There(Redwan Ali)-01 June 2007
If I were Blue
Would you be there for me
And Whisper in my ears that's ok?
Would you stand my me
Let me hold You tight
And say you love me one more time?
If I Feel good
Would you slow dance with me
And touch my lips with tender loving care?
Would you die for me?
Would you run with me
And never look back?

(Chorus)
Would you be there to love to be with me?
Would you swear that your love is always true?
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away?
Would you be there to love to be with me?
Would you swear that your love is always true?
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away?
Would you be there?

Message For Jie(19 March 2007)
Jie, I didnt mean to make you sad.. I realli was not intended to do so.
But I am equally hurt too. I know I am very immatured and always makes you worried and sad. I really tried my best not to but each time I failed. Please forgive me. I will not repeat it again.
Whatever you say, I will try to do it. Whatever you dislike, I will not do it again. This I promise. I will never make you worried again.
I hope that no more tears for me. I only hope for smiles for me. Take care.

Message for Jie(6 March 2007)
Maybe missing for a few days, you will miss me. I am still in a dillemma whether to let you know the truth. Truth is so hurting and cruel. But no matter what, I just unable to tell. Many people say I am paranoid. But what they does not know is I knew my condition well. Dot ask me how, dot ask me what happened. All I could say is, if you cant find me, please do not be worried. I may be angel surrounding you somewhere, someplace.

Jie, I am sorry if I ever hurt you or make you worried. I wish I never did those things but I had already done it. Not once, not twice, but always. It made me sit down and think, should I leave you. Will you still be happy if I am not around? Maybe you would never saw this blog, maybe you did. I just wanted to say, I am SORRY. Hope that what ever I did later or future, you will not blame me. I know I promise I wont, but I cant predict future. Some promise I wish to keep but at times it is beyond my control. Maybe if I ever found the courage, I will tell you when time ripes. Or maybe you are not even willing to hear the truth. Whatever it is, all I wanted is you to be happy.
