On the same day, I had buffet dinner to farewell Orielle together with Linus and JC. Next, I had 3 heavy meal yesterday!!!!

21st Birthday

I was at a church friends 21st bday party last night and I'm truly amazed at the way it was organized. There are printed bulletin on the program sequence (just like what you see in a church wedding!!), song service, short message by the pastor, special music, performances, games...blah blah blah. Thereafter the cake cutting, there's photo taking session with parents, church friends, relative...etc.... We can't stop ourselves from laughing....It was exactly like a church wedding........

I noticed this trend of celeberating their 21st only happen in S'pore. As far as I can remember, there's no such even in M'sia during my 20 years of staying there, INCLUDING MY OWN! My 21st was just another normal day with a cake (oh yes...at least there's a cake), without bday song or candle and dinner with family. That's good enough for me. Poor WC while he was sitting with me yesterday at the party, commented that he's on his own on his 21st with plain water. Hahahaha

I Want Holiday!

As the end of the year is approaching reaaaalllllll soon, many people have started planning for their year end holiday. Being a “travel-holic” myself, I’M STUCK!!! I have too many places that I want to go, too little leave on hand, too little money to afford.

I have Perth/Mel, Korea, HK and NZ in mind. Going to Perth/Mel is of course to visit my family and all my little nieces and nephew. Korea is my next target ever since I got attracted by charming BYJ on the ultimate Korean show - Winter Sonata. Hahahaha……. :) HK~~~ that’s simply because I MUST make sure I make use of the staff travel benefits of our company while I’m still working here. I only pay S$20 (excl tax) for the airfare leh!!!!! Can just go and eat tim-sum and come back…hahaha….Shhhhhhh…..dun tell anybody……..

So where should I go leh?!?!?!?

A quiet, peaceful Sunday

I has been a peaceful week for me in the past few days. Nothing extraordinary happen, which is probably why you did not see much updates in my blog. Today being Sunday where most people will be out shopping, catching a movie...etc.... I choosed to stay at home and "nua" and maybe getting some personal stuff done. People tend to ask me if I feel lonely staying alone. NOT AT ALL. I truly enjoy the privacy, the independant life that I'm having now!!

I just spoke to my ex-colleague CT a while ago on MSN. Both he and Nsesagi were at the office working on some migration project. Apparently, this never-ending project has been happening since the day I was with my ex company more than half a year ago. I can imagine how exhaused and headache they must be having. Not only their weekend got burned, but also the late night during the week and the demand that they have from "various" bosses. I guess if I'm still with the company, this blog will never exist. Why? Where got time woh!!

For some reason, my usb camera cable refused to get my camera connected to my pc. After several attempt, I concluded that the cable is faulty and that means I got to spend $$ AGAIN....haiz....... why always like that when I'm at my "dryest" time leh......?? Anyway, I decided to get a memory card reader from Challenger this morning.

To test it out....I got my new running shoe uploaded here...heheheheheh

MEN are just happier people

What do you expect from such simple creatures?

Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car Mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental - $100.

People never stare at your chest when you are talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A 5 day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all of your own jars. You get credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everthing on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe even decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet in one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter what how your legs look. You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growning a mustache.

Haiz....what else can I say? Men are just happier that ladies?

Life is short

Just yesterday, I personally witness one traggic incident in my church compound. While we were all having our lunch, an old lady suddenly collapsed right at her seat while she were having lunch. People around started to get help, thinking the she might have choked herself. Her heartbeat was weak, she wasn't conscious anymore. Effort made to revive her were in vain. While waiting for the ambulance to come, all we can do is just to wait....helplessly.

The nurses did a CPR to her on the spot, still, it is in vain. She was brought to the hospital right after that. Hours ago, Jimmy called telling me she's gone, apparently due to heart failure. Life is so unpredictable isn't it?

Be Patient

My running shoe has finally worn out after 5 hard years. It has started to give my toes some quite a fair bit of soreness after wearing it only for a short period of time. I have been shopping for a new pair of shoe for the past months, within a very limited budget. I'm one who will shop round and round, compare here and there, take a few days to think about it before making the final purchase. Finally I came across this Aesics shoe that is super comfortable and nice design BUT it was way over my budget. I did had the urge to buy it but was trying hard to spend within my budget, trying to be patient to look for other alternative. I decided to give it a miss...... haiz...

One day, it just happen that I realized there is a royal sports house at airport T1 airside area. Goods like this are usually cheaper than the market rate out there and with the discount card that I had with me.....muahahahaha. I give it a try in there. Guess what.... there's a similar pair of shoe (though not exactly the same) in the shelves. Tried on it and yay!!!! I'm now the proud owner of this new Aesics shoe. Oh yes, I paid $40 lesser than the market rate..... $40 can do a lot of thing hor..... This thing call patience, that God give to us is something that will just do us good and no harm....
