Seems like there's notink much happening for me to tell u guys.. Just some thoughts from my last weekend..
Went to Jiahao's B'day party on saturday.. It was rather boring when u duno the pple ard u.. So the gang of us decided to 'dominate' his room and watch TV.. His GF was there and I din realised that she was feeling sad until Enrique n Linda told me.. Wat happened was JH parents were those kinds of pple whom are really traditional in their tinking.. They preferred their son to date sumone like themselves (门当互对).. They will surely b pissed if they know that their only son is dating a Malay.. So both of them r very secretive throughout the party n of coz his GF felt left out.. But I can see that she's really understanding towards him n her cooking was superb!! Tinks got abit out of hand when its photo taking session.. The poor couple got to hide in 1 corner to tk their photos n pple with eyes can all see that they were not happy.. JH eyes were abit teary when he sent his GF back.. I hope that his parents will be more open minded and gv them their blessings, this girl seems to be my brother's true love.. She's the nicest GF he had so far n I hope tinks will really worked out for them..
Another tink I want to highlight.. Another brother of mine, Mr Enrique Lee Lai Hock found a new GF!! Haiz.. I can really concluded that a leaopard never can change it's spots.. *haha* Thaw he will still be grieving over his previous bitchy ex but I was really shocked when he told me his dating another girl (whom I know but still hv no idea who she was yet) just barely a month after they broke up!! Anyway, I do hope that Mr Lee won't change his GF like changing clothes again.. *haha*
Went ^swimming^ yesterday.. More like a tanning session coz I was in the water for less then 5mins.. *haha* Was on a very strict diet (together with Linda) for the whole of last week and managed to lost a pathetic 1kg.. But tink I've gained my weight back (praying hard that I won't gain another kg)after yesterday's huge dinner.. Imagine this is wat I had for dinner last night:
1. Chue Kue x 10pcs (duno how to spell)
2. Satay x 15pcs
3. Prawn noodles
4. Duck rice
5. ice kachang (all by myself)
6. Bunch of grapes
Well.. Seems like this week plan is a failure.. 2 more weeks to go b4 the wedding.. I hope I will have enuff determination to do it!!

An incident which happened to a friend recently strike me to write abt this topic.. What a woman wants in their man? Hmm.. Let me do a analysis..
I still remember when I was younger, I'm so into guys who are really cute.. Able to sweet talk.. Give me small little surprises that will make me jump up n down..
But as I grow up, I begin to realistic that being handsome n sweet is useless.. Most importantly he needs to have a really good brian that can *THINK*.. Now, I want my future partner to be
^smart^
^hardworking^
^flexible^
^mature^
and not forgetting ^able to take good care of me^
With a properly functioned brian.. He will be able to analyse and plan for our future.. After which he will start to work extremely hard to provide me a good home.. Being mature is important too.. I can't imagine having to take care of a outgrown kid when I have to look after our own babies.. Most Importantly as a couple, they shld be there for each other for good times or bad..
This poor friend of mine was feeling so sick but her beloved can't even bothered to be there for her.. All he did was to accompany her to the doctor n send her to the bus stop.. In this case, his not being flexible at all.. Imagine ur GF is already so weak to walk but you can't even bother to send her home.. To make things worst, he rather go home n eat his home cooked food after school then pop over to my friend's place to check if she's okie.. I can't imagine wat will happen to my dear friend if she get hitched with this insensitive creature.. What is this man thinking anyway?!?!
Money isn't everything to me.. So wat if I became a rich *tai tai* but my husband can't be bothered with me.. Will I be happy? NO.. So I pray hard that my future husband-to-be will always be there for me.. Like what wedding vows always say: "In times of good health or sickness.. For better or worst.."

Having been bloggin for awhile and Hui is bragging me to write sumtink.. So guess I shall write about my *hApPeNiNg jOb*..
I've beginning to tink that I'm a really ~suai~ person.. I've been job hopping since graduating from last June.. None of my jobs can last for more then 0.5yrs then I say bye bye le.. Will tell u guys more abt my ^sucky^ working life..
1. QS - Sales & Marketing Executive (Stayed 6mth)
Guess wat I wore for my interview? Spag top n shorts!! *haha* Was actually enjoying myself @ my class chalet when they called me up for interview. So I went down, interview & got myself a job!! It's a very young company with only 3 pple when I joined. Into electric components trading business. I was totally green in that industry n was really struggling. Telemarketing, meeting clients n suppliers had really transformed me from a shy shy girl to now a *loudspeaker*.. It was a really good training ground as I've really learnt alot of tinks.. But too bad the boss is sucky and I din really get along with him.. I don't like him scolding vulagur language to me & he dun like my attitude.. So in the end, we sat down n had a good talk and both agreed that I should move on..
2. BG - Recruitment Consultant (Stayed 5mths)
This is a job that I've been dreaming of.. So when they offered me only $700 for the first 3mths, I took it w/o much tinking even when my family n frenz kinda tink I shld join JobsDB instead.. I've learnt alot of interpersonal/communication skills & I can proudly say that I'm an expert when it comes to drafting resumes & interviews.. *thick-skinned*
Too bad.. The management sucks big time!! They are so good on doing HR for pple but they have no idea how to manage their own staff. In the end, me and my fellow colleagues left there for good.. We later formed a group and will always meet up for our "Complain Gathering".. *haha* I really had fun working with the girls.. Will miss them de.. In fact, I'm going for a steamboat buffet with them later!! *yumyum*
3. MNS - Sales Coordiantor (current job, just got my confirmation letter)
Notice that my designation was from highest to lowest? *haha* Such a disgrace!! After the incident in BG, I've decided that maybe I shld start from the bottom so that I can learn all the correct ropes b4 going into sales. My boss assured me that there's definately career prospects in this line as most of the pple including himself starts from the bottom. The benefits n pay was not bad lar.. Just that I won't be entitled any commission.. Everythink was fine at first (Everyday go home 6pm sharp.. No stress.. Not challenging.. Just admin duties *sigh*) but I would say that this Hotel is in a hovac situation now.. Due to some management conflicts, my boss as well as my big boss are both leaving.. Like wat pple will say, when the boss leaves, the team leaves too.. Our sales team is intending to move on, leaving me behind.. My boss told me to stay here & continue to learn as I'm not affected.. Guess I've to stay put and wait till my bonus comes le..
*haiz*.. Shld I cry or shld I laugh at myself? Working life really sucks..
~I MISS SCHOOL~

Woo Hoo!! Weekend is here again.. But guess wat? It's friday the 13th today.. ~Evil~
Realised that all of us has our own kind of sex appeal.. Like my sis for example, kids loooove gathering around her but they hate me (guess I'm too fierce to them le.. *haha*).. Some pple (Eg. Our Miss 38) attracts the opposite sex like honey attracting bees.. I have my own appeal too u know, but guess I attracts the wrong age group.. *sobsob*
Understand that all of us ladies had been approached by guys before.. But I tink not many of u experienced the same approach like what I've encountered.. I've been approached by UNCLES not once, not twice but 3 times!! *puke*
Horrible Encounter 01
Was working as a PT waitress in a Thai resturant around bugis area.. I remembered that I'm very tired that night n was so happy that I can find a seat in the bus on a super crowded weekend.. Just when I'm dozing off, the UNCLE beside me said (translation in english) "Miss.. You work here?". Immediately I was awake n was really really turned off by the look on his face (going to be bald soon, wear specs, nerd nerd look = disgusting!).. I tink I'm stupid enuff to entertain him on my journey back home.. I was even stupid enuff to give him my contact number! Yap.. he tried calling me but of coz I gave him a good trashing down.. *haha* Anyway, his a baker from Breadtalk Bugis.. So you guys can assure that I will never step into that shop after this incident!!
Horrible Encounter 02
Used to take 190 @ a specific time.. Will see some familar faces coz some of them took the bus at the same timing too.. This UNCLE used to smile at me whenever he saw me and of coz I'll smiled back as a form of courtesy.. I was really tired and doze off in the bus as usual on that day and nearly missed my stop.. That UNCLE was kind enuff to wake me up b4 my stop and I was really surprised how he can remember the bus stop that I usually alighted.. Was still blur blur and mumbled "Thank you" to him.. But yet another disaster happened..
UNCLE(translation in english): "Miss.. Can I be your friend?"
Me: "Wat for?"
UNCLE: "Coz you looked cute"
ME (totally pissed off): "UNCLE.. If you are fortunate you are old enuff to be my father liao!!"
Stormed off and alight the bus immediately..
Saw him for a few times at the bus stop after the incident.. But his face was always looking on the ground.. Guess he was too ashamed to face me le ba.. *haha*
Horrible Encounter 03/04
All of u shld know abt Leslie aka 'The Pervert' if you read my previous blogs.. So I shldn't talk abt him le.. Makes me want to puke again when I saw his idiotic face again yesterday.. Let's talk abt my newest encounter instead.. There's a technician in my Engineering Dept, used to complain to him abt the super cold air-con in our office.. After some time, I realised that he will looked at me cheekily, come into my office to give me sweets, talks to me, etc.. Once during lunchtime, he insisted to share seat with me when there are so many empty seats in the canteen!! *puke x10*
I shall not further describe how those UNCLES treat me.. Sumtimes I wonder if there's anything wrong with me.. Y can't I attract pple ard my age? This is really making me 哭笑不得..

^Sunday^
Eric was finally back from his Taiwan trip.. We were so excited to see each other after 3 long weeks.. Especially me, coz I can't wait to see the stuff he bought for me from there!! *haha* Anyway, I got a tee, a bag, a handphone chain and lotsa stuff to eat!!
Didn't sleep a wink on Saturday coz it's already 6am when we finally reach home.. I'm so hungry that I eat a whole bowl of cup noodles that Eric bought from Taiwan and felt asleep immediately after that.. Met Linda n Meng for our Fireworks+Movie+Supper session. Tinks did not turn out as wat we expected.. As most of u guys know, Linda had actually broke up with Meng. So somehow, I felt that she having this "rejecting sydrome" and keep finding faults in him.. Meng on the other hand, was very patient but was too quite.. From our analysis, Linda is the dominating person in their relationship.. Meng is someone w/o any opinion on his own, he follows where ever Linda goes.. She needs someone who can control her as in her super short temper and of coz, make her feels like a "little princess".. So Meng might not be the one after all..
Anyway, the 2 hours wait for the Fireworks is worth it.. Really nice but still tinks that the one from Esplande opening is the best I've ever seen..
^Monday^
National Day!! I'm very excited this year coz my favourtie JJ is performing at NDP. Too bad I can't be there to see him, otherwise I will certainly go GAGA.. I stayed at home to watch the awesome TV progs (there's 3 shows on JJ!! *hiak hiak*) as well as the parade with my family (this is a yearly routine), after which Eric came over to join me for our facial mask session.. Just bought a box masks on Friday, I was totally turned off by the smell immediately after I open the pack.. Mask soaked in chinese herbs!! *yucks* Spent $50 on a disgusting mask, hope it will do good to my face.. :P

A long weekend once in awhile is really relaxing.. Especially its National Day!!
^Saturday^
Spent quite abit on some unecassary items on Sat while shopping with Linda n Shan. Bought a set of facial mask, eyeshadow n eyebrown brush (which I believe I will seldom use de). Now my pockets really got a big hole liao.. So guess I have to save n scrap for the rest of the month though it's only beginning of August.. *sob sob*
Didn't really rest and went out with the girls for clubbing.. Dbl O is super crowded as usual.. But It became our usual club coz the drinks are super cheap de.. Anyway, it was a rather happening nite.. Most of them are drunk after the session, esp Hui who joined us for the first time.. Seems like she can't really get use to this environment coz she looked lost in the dance floor.. But guess drinking helps, she got really HIGH after 2 shots and was dancing away after that.. *haha* Luckily Ziyi and Mingbao's BF drove us back if not I really wouldn't know wat to do with 6 drunk girls.. And not forgetting Enrique, he was really down the whole evening.. Drinking and smoking by himself in a corner.. Somehow I really felt bad that I can't do anything to make him feel better but I'm glad that his finally realised that the girl is not worth for his love and wait..
Back to our clubbing story.. Saw a few of our friends in the dancefloor.. It's been quite awhile since I saw Ian Teo (even when his block is just a stone throw away from mine).. He was rather shocked that Winnie was dating Ziyi.. And "blamed" me for not telling him when Winnie was single.. That arsehole, he was the heartless creature who ditched her w/o reason that time n now blames me for spoiling his renioun.. I still tink Winnie will be better dating ziyi rather than tat "ah beng".. Anyway, we saw Ziyong (Linda's ex) and I was so pissed.. Linda was kinda drunk but still sober at that time n that bloody idiot keep on telling me to take care of her.. My goodness!! The others are drunk as well wat but he did not even care abt their 死活 other then Linda.. He called me in the middle of the wee hours later just to check if I've send Linda home.. My god!! Guess he didn't realised that I'm a girl as well.. Anyway dragged Hui back to my house and got Eric to send her back home.. He was really surprised by Hui's drunken behavior n we were all laughing at her on our way to her house.. *haha*

Guess I’ve created a small havoc on my topic of “zhao sai”. Thank you for all your comments, so now we know the different views between girls n guys yah.. *hehe*
I was having dinner with Hui and Linda yesterday and we came across a discussion on *Quantity* or *Quality* time.. Therefore, this shall be a topic to ponder about on a lazy Friday.
Quantity Time~
I’ve been in a few relationships before and I’ve came across a trend which not only applies on me, but on other couples as well. During the first few months in a courtship, couples will tend to be very “sticky”. They will spend most of their free time together as a couple, even when they had no plans, notink to do, rotting at home, etc.. The most important mindset in couples at this stage of dating is that they will be very happy enough to spend time together, to see each other’s face. This is wat I call quantity time.
But after a period of maybe a year or so.. They tend to be bored of each other and may tink that it might be even better to hang out with frenz rather then spending so much time doing notink.. They will soon get bored and starts to drift apart.. This is the time when communication starts to breaks downs and arguments arose.. So in the end couples break up..
Quality Time~
Spending time with each other doesn’t mean that you need to see your partner 24/7. Remember, you have frenz and your own life apart from your partner. This is when time management comes along. Planning is very important, be it in school, at work or even dating. Spending time doing notink is bored man.. So always plan wat to do b4 u guys go “pak tall”.. Apart from weekly routines like shopping, watching movies or rotting at home, do sumtink meaningful like cleaning the house together, cooking a storm for dinner, fixing a puzzle, etc. You can oso consider sumtink adventurous like canoeing, extreme sports or even backpacking! This way, you can have not only have quality time but also will get to know your partner better. Last but not least, never forget to spend time with your frenz too.. *^_^*

A friend & I were debating on a topic on "zhao sei".. Tink I'm gonna use this for today's story..
For friends whom are attached and were around my age, their partners were either in NS or they themsleves are currently serving the nation. I would say tinks are really shaky at this stage of their courship. I have heard countless of GFs ditching their beau for another guy.. All guys seems to have this FEAR in them & are so afraid that their GFs will do the same tink to them.
Guys in NS tends to be less confident, more sensitive and very protective against themselves and their surroundings. Girls on the other hand, became more confident and full of live as they had come to a stage whereby they will be exposed to a more "open" surrounding as a working adults. They will meet different from all walks of life n tends to dream of being like them. I'm having this vision in my mind as well.. This is wat I call +time gap+ in a relationship.. There bound to be alot of conflicts and eventually both decided that this is not wat they are looking for in a relationship n breaks up. Let me give u 2 scenarios:
1. Girl ditch guy = Zhao Sei
A friend of mine (X) broke up with her BF of 5years while he was serving the nation. Her reason was that she had found a better guy. What I mean better is that this guy is more mature and had a stable job n income. She had no confident to wait for her BF as she tinks that they're too young to have a future together. After all, her BF will be doing his degree after NS. By the time he had settled down with a job, she will already be in her late 20s.
I thaw it's rather selfish of her to only tink abt herself. But changed my view when this situation happened to another friend..
2. Guy ditch girl = ?!?!?!
My childhood friend (Y) had been with her BF for 6years and had brave through tough time with him in his army life. She stayed as a good GF, did the best she could to support him. But recently, the guy ditched her for a younger girl whom he met during his uni orientation camp. He had forgotten all his promises to her and had made her wait for a cruel ending that came so late.
Y was lucky as she's only 21 years old and still can jolly well achieve a better future w/o this guy. But I can't imagine how will X cope if this tink happened in
scenario1. I can't help but had to agree with X's opinion. It might be selfish of her to only tink abt herself but nobody can predict the future, you will never know if your beau will ditch you for a younger girl when he stepped into the working life. I would call this *先下手为强*
I believe there won't be any "Guarantee" in a relationship until the day when Govt issue a "Warranty Certificate" on your wedding.. Just my 2 cents worth of thoughts.. :)

Do you still remember your first love? The one whom make ur heart skip when u saw him.. The one whom u shared ur first kiss with.. The one who will always remains in your heart for your entire life..
We were classmates during lower secondary. I have no idea how on earth did I attract M in the frst place. After all, he was rather good looking (at that point of time) and I was only a plain jane. It was a class chalet that brought us together and I can still remember we first held hands on my 14th b'day celebration. He was then the center of attention in our school and alot of girls adored him. I felt very insecure when I see how well he treated other girls. I wanted him to be mine and became very possessive and soon we started to drift apart. All his friends as well as his brother hated me for not giving him freedom and pressurised him to end this relationship. Of course they won in the end, we eventually broke up..
I tried my best to move on bravely and thaw we will never cross each other's path again.. Until we got the news from the school that he brother was very ill.. As a schoolmate (I don't even dare to say that I'm his friend anymore), I went to visit his brother in the hospital with the rest of our friends.. This is when our feeling rekindles.. I know we still had feelings for each other n I would spend most of my days after school to accompany him to the hospital.. But of course, we did not dare to tell anybody including my close friends about our relationship.. We started to see lesser of each other during secondary 4 when his brother eventually got well n came back to school.. It's really difficult for him to meet up with me as his friends will always follow him around whereever he goes.. At the same time, he had also fallen in love with another girl..
I thaw everything would end after GCE 'O' Levels as we didn't really get to see each other during the 6mths break while waiting for poly admission.. I really duno if fate is playing a game on us but we ended up not only in the same poly but in the same course as well.. Seems like we can't let go of this relationship and started seeing each other again.. It's really difficult as we don't want to be seen by our friends.. His friends n brother still don't like the idea that we're together and we have to kept this relationship all to ourselves.. We always meet up in the void decks where we discuss on homeworks.. He is really nice and even when around to search for my favourite jelly beans on my 17th B'day (I still had the bottle in my display cabinet).. Soon after, we both decided to take on part time jobs to earn extra cash.. He worked in 7-11 while I joined Melissa in a thai resturant where I met John..
John showered me with alot of love n make me felt so pampered as if I'm a little princess. This kind of attention is wat I can't get from M.. I told John abt M n told him that there's no way for me to betray M.. But eventually, with the help of Melissa they managed to talk me into leaving this current relationship or maybe I would say it's not even a relationship at all.. John won my heart on Christmas Day when M was away on a family holiday.. I've finally decided leave M quietly like how we started, he sent me a sms saying that he missed me alot and hope to see me soon.. I was confused again n didn't know wat to do.. Melissa told me that she will help me to break the news to him on my behalf so that I won't get to face him again..
I soon received an email, the first n last email that M sent me.. He told me that he respected my decision and knew that he can't provide me the things that I wanted.. He finished the email with the lyrics of N'sync "This I promise you".. I thaw I will be strong and accepted his blessings but I broke down when he left a voice mail where he sang Daniel Chan's "比我辛福" (we made this promise that we will sing this song to whichever of us who found our true love) and cried for the very first time.. I wanted so much to see him at that point of time but knew that it's impossible coz I'm already John's girl.. I felt very guilty but it's already too late.. His promises came too late and I know that we had to move on w/o each other..
It's been 3 years since and thaw I won't be bothered about it anymore and put all of these behind me.. But my feelings just suddenly rekindles by itself when I met him @ a party recently.. I know he still hates me for leaving him w/o a word and not giving him a chance to explain.. I wanted so much to say "Sorry" but I just can't do it.. His doing very well now and already had a new girl in his heart.. I know that this relationship will never work out and all I can do now is to wish him all the best and hopefully he will find his true love.. 一定要比我辛福..
吻
如果时间能把我们的思念稀释了
从此以后互不相干各自爱着别的人
只要不遇见忽然下雨的清晨
在起床的时候 会莫名的失神
说好决定要努力忘了啊
为何还有泪停在脸颊
你身边是否还是那个她
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
如果当时我们都能够勇敢的承认
困为太在乎对方所以才倔强的等待着
后来每个失眠的午夜时分
还不愿意后悔 却忍不住会问
说好决定要努力忘了啊
为何还有泪停在脸颊
你身边是否还是那个她
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
那段流着眼泪寻找解答的日子
已过去了 只是没想到爱情要 我们付出漫长想念代价
说好决定要努力忘了啊
为何还有泪停在脸颊
你身边是否还是那个她
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
取代我在你醒来吻你吗

Weekends always past so fast de.. Its Monday again n here I am, rotting in my office in this cosy morning..
Went to Hui's B'day party on Saturday.. Hmm.. It was not bad lar.. But we din get to BBQ until 9pm coz the kids barred us to go near there.. *haha* We decided to go KTV after the party but all of us were so tired of waiting and decided to heed home instead.. We were having a conversation in the taxi and I have no idea how on earth we started to talk abt SEX.. I was really *stun* when Mark told me he watched porn.. I was even more *stun* when Gwo Chong aka "Mr Nice-man" knows so much abt women!! Tinking abt this now makes my hair stand so I shall not go on with this topic le.. Okie.. Now comes the part where Hui will be more interested in.. I've shown the girls and guys (Mark even when closer to him to have a even better view)who KP was and their opinion was that Hui deservesed someone better.. But if he is the man she's looking for we will definately give our blessings de.. But all of us concluded that she should use more time to judge this relationship as well as the person.. So Hui u heard our opinion liao ah.. So slowly make ur decision ba..
Sunday was my family day!! Rotted @ home to watch the vcds that Vione lent me (spent 1mth trying to clear this drama but I still have along way to go ~sigh~).. Don't feel really good when Hui told me she lost 1 of her ang baos.. I hate it when this kind of tinks happened.. Its either you drop it sumwhere or sumone might had stole it from u.. I can't imagine someone close will steal from u!! The feeling really sucks esp when Hui ask me if her ang bao is with me!! Felt accused but its ok lar.. Since I'm not guilty n got notink to hide.. Went to courts to shop for our new sofa n I'm so excited to have a new set (I choose de *haha*) coming this friday!! Actually I love going out with my family coz I got a free chauffeur to drv me around n get to eat w/o paying but of course I love their company.. Even went GAGA (n scratch sis legs) when my darling Lin Jun Jie's song was on radio!! I love my family!! *muackies*
