Da Nian Chu Er

Little miss piggy here woke up at 1pm today. YES it's a super late night again.. 4am last night after catching Dick & Jane. Yeap I did go Ed's place for makan in the end. He text me yesterday afternoon to ask if Des told me about the dinner.

Me: "Paiseh leh...."
Ed: "Paiseh wat? You're also my friend what."
Me: "Cos I didn't hear from you. Sekali it's an all-boys thing? Then I'm like extra like that.."
Ed: "No la, I asked Des to help me ask around. Less trouble.. you just come okie?"
Me: "Okie but won't be taking much. Just recovered from stomach flu"
Ed: "No probs. Cya 730 then. Get des to pick u up k?"
Me: "Haha no need to ask... he's already volunteered. Lol"

Reached Ed's about 830. Dave and Euwen reached 15min later.

Me to Des: You know, you shouldn't have drunk barley.
Des (eyes grew big): ISSIT?? (stares at the empty tetrapak before him)
Me: Yup. Cos you cough.. it'll 'grow' more phlegm.
Ed (huge grin on his face): WAHLIEW like that also guan. Next time don't need to ask u out liao Des. So strict leh someone (throws mischevious look at me)
Me: .............

Made merry at the dinner table with piping steamboat. Got to know they ain't too comfy with "miss-big-boss". Turns out they're well, turned off, by her perpetual black face the couple times we brought her along. In times like this, someone's gotta be the good person.

Me: She's ok lah.... When she doesn't smile, her face's like that. But she's pretty harmless.
Ed: Then tell her she should smile more!
Me: I already told her liao. But she still like that what you want me to do?
Dave (while fishing for meat from the steamboat): Eh I don't like to see her face. See liao very scared.. Sending daggers like that (sinks into his seat for dramatic effect)
Me: Hahaha.. OEI don't be mean!
Dave: No comments la no comments. I don't know her that well...

The rest of the time we see Mr Ed going to the kitchen to get this get that for his 10-over-years friends (namely Dave and Des).

Dave: Ed, can you get us some soup ladles please?
Ed: Sure.
Comes back with the ladles.
Ed's mom (calls from kitchen): Edmund! Bring this out for your friends!
Enters kitchen again. Emerges with whole platterful of fish, pork, chicken, wantans, ngoh hiang and basketful of veggies & seaweed.

A while later....
Me: How come you're not eating? (points at his empty bowl)
Ed: Yeah I will.. No worries about me.
Dave: Hey! Where's my fish??? (furiously fishing the soup in vain)
I point at Des who's happily tucking in some fish, oblivious to the commotion. Everybody laughs.

1 minute later..
Des: Can I have some plain water please? (Ed stares at him) HOT lah your chilli.
Ed: Sharon, now you know why I'm not eating much already??
I laughed.
Ed: Here, take some prawns.
Me: No thank you..
Ed: Why not? (before I could reply) Oh u lazy to peel izit? Heh
Me: Hee ya....
Ed: Nvm I'd get Des to peel for you. (Scoops the prawns to Des's bowl)

Went Paulaners then a late night Dick & Jane after that. So qiao bumped into Huang! Went over with my wine and chatted a bit with him and his japo fren. Overall the night was fun but I was getting a bit tired.. Everytime drink wine I'd get sleepy, cos of that warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach. Almost fell asleep in the theatre even.. Show was average, nothing too fantastic lah.

Having pre-work blues now. Hope my engine doesn't start too slow tomorrow morning...

1st and half-of-2nd Day

Well the first day didn't go too bad. Despite almost bored bazookas - the folks went house visiting without this patient here. But oh well, it's perfectly fine with me. Everyone knows how much I luurrrvvee thems extended families. Momma collected angpows on my behalf. Heh, didn't have to earn them through plastic smiles and rehearsed "gong xi fa cai's".

Couple friends asked me to club. Another bunch asked me for blackjack session. Declined all, cos I can only do 'brainless' things. Plus it ain't good to gamble when one's ill. Pantang, pantang. Mobile rang again at 6plus. I was cooking maggi mee..

"ALLO! Any plans any plans?" It was Des.
"Nope. I very no life one.. ahhaha"
"Hmmm.. wonder what shows there are tonight.."
"Sure have la. Cinemas stay open.. Geisha? Fearless?"
"You think tai will watch geisha meh? Haha.. Think he's more for Jet Li"

Called tai, checked schedules, booked tickets, set time and place to meet. Suddenly feel so hyped up... CAN GET OUTTA DA HOUSE! YIPPEES! Somemore not too siong activity (no need physical/mental strength, LOL). Caught 130am show at PS. The kungfu choreography's an eye-opener. Worth the 9 bucks!

Now waiting for Aunt Jo's and Aunt Judy's families to come. Mom dug me outta the covers at 11 just now. Still a bit in dreamland..... Hey 5 hours of snooze what you expect! Later might be going Des's place. He say after that go with him to Ed's house for dinner. Which I feel paiseh cos after all, Ed didn't invite me.

"Haiya it's ok one la. I bring you there it's different,"
"Paiseh leh..."
"Well, it's not your first time there right? No need paiseh la."
"HAIYA X'mas different mah - he invited me that time leh."
"It's ok one..... Anyway, I don't think they'll be surprised to see you with me."
"Eh? How come?" Hmmm... are you hinting at something?
"Dunno leh, hunch."

After movie he was still trying to psycho me to go with him. See how.. maybe go his house first then head off to Ed's together. Or just meet them for River Angbao after dinner..? Meantime I'd have to raid my wardrobe for stuff to wear tonight, tomorrow (goin Angie's place), and Wed (goin group chairman's house for dinner).

HUAT AH!

Twilight CNY

Ok I was just happily updating Friendster with latest pics when my mobile rang.

One new message received.
"Hello all my friends :) here's wishing u all a happy new year ahead :) sylvester ;)"
Blinks. Sylvester who???
Spent next couple mins skimming through my mental archives. No luck.
In case it's a long lost friend who fashioned a smazzy christian name for himself, I replied.
"i tink u got the wrong number..."
"oh.. i tot i took a cs module with u in nus before :)"
My eyes grew big. Now we're talking. I must've known you, just a bit fuzzy in the brain now.
"Eh? I was from SOC.. wats ur chinese name? Sorry short term memory... Haha"
"Sylvester la. i was one of ur project mates for a module. nvm la, its ok :)"
NOW I do feel bad.... But I really cannot recollect!
"...... very familiar but can't recollect ur face. Sorry..... u've a Gd one too :)"

Sylvester didn't reply. Maybe sore at this dumbass here. But seriously, how the hell did he get my number??? Really damn scratch head.

An hour later, I was yakking nonsense with Des when my mobile rang again.

One new message received.
This time the message's in Chinese. Loosely translated as follow:
"Here's a wang wang song for u, wish dat ur health be wang, luck be wang, fortunes wang, relationships wang, family wang. The Year of the Dog has arrived, so here's wishing u WANG and more WANG! - matthew"
WTF?? I don't know any Matthew's!!!
This is getting on my nerves.... or have I become the world's youngest Alzhemier patient???
"Sorry, ure matthew from?"
"Karocraft"

Ahhhh.. now that makes more sense. Karocraft is a printing company whom I met up with. Once.

What a scare to the New Year...

Post-Bangkok

Apologies to my pals for disappearance acts again. Just happened to be bombarded endless by work and illnesses since returning from Bangkok.

Yes, the old stomach flu fogey's back with a vengence. This time it's really out for blood man. Woke up yesterday vomitting biggie time. What a way to start a morning. Wed's lunch and dinner all came out at one go. Then bedridden whole day, too weak to talk even. Funny that I was perfectly fine in BKK! Despite eating loads of fiery stuff and drinking bazallons of red label. Really miss the pig-leg-rice at the roadside stall next to our hotel. S$1 for an uber satisfying meal. MMMmm mmmm... beats restaurant fare anytime. I'm a simple woman.

Home today.. Doc ordered two days mc for me. Last evening at the clinic,
"With your face as green as that, you're definitely going on a two days' MC. No buts." I bit my tongue and nodded.

Just now went through BKK photos taken with my mobile. Now I REALLY need a digicam. Realised that not many of those who have digicams have the sense to take interesting pictures. For e.g. humorous roadsigns or shop signs. Typical example as follows:

Out for dinner on first night. Went Siam Square area. A neon signboard outside Hard Rock's Cafe got me all excited,

"No nuclear weapons nor underaged allowed", it read.
"Quick! Gimme the cam!!"
The rest of the gang gave me deadpan looks. Where's your humor, people?? Took the picture nonetheless. For the rest of the trip, the digicam is either 1. Collecting dust at the hotel, 2. Collecting dust in someone's pouch, 3. A silent victim of Outta-sight-Outta-Mind.

What a waste, what a waste...

So I decided to use my own mobile instead. Paiseh also to keep borrowing from her. Some interesting pics as follow:

1. Taken at MBK on Sat 21/01 afternoon. Sat night is the big night of soccer as BKK's top two high schools battle it out for the championship title. Fans all out in full force in the afternoon to show support to their alma mater.



2. Drix and Des checking out the action below.



3. Me and my bovine madness..... Taken at Siam Square on our last day. Didn't get to savour the food though. Next time :)



4. Kate's got a shop in BKK??? You bitch! Didn't tell me about it...



5. Spotted at BKK airport's departure lounge while waiting for Karen. Des and I just had to snap this down... "SIMILAN" alcohol. Hahahahha

Pre-Bangkok

I'm listening to some Filipino bands now. Courtesy of Rey who offered me 2 albums from his home country. Perhaps to bribe me for helping with his tenders and stuff, LOL.

Surprised by the quality of the bands, especially Cueshe. If you like alternative Matchbox-20 kinda music, check them out. I'm already a fan now.

Lack of zzz, lack of zzz. Last night went dinner and drinks with Stefan. Carl Jr's food is not too bad at all! Didn't really wanna go but he was like "it's daaaammmmnnnn good, you HAVE to try it man".

And so I went. Had the Santa Fe Grilled Chicken burger meal. SEDAPS~~~~. Him the monstrous Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger.. MEAL somemore. Count the calories and fat in that beast alone can make me hyperventilate.......

Yakked nonstop throughout. His troubles and frustrations, and mine too. No wonder he looked sian sian on Monday. More yakking over beer at Paulaners. Within a few hours we already knew a fair bit of each other's lives and families. SUPER surprised he's an only child too! AND eerily he's a Piscean. Sometimes don't wanna believe also cannot leh - I really do click with water signs best. Ok Stefan, you're a bro for keeps. Cheers! =D

Oh ya.. Consulted him on how'd a guy behave if he likes a gal. Super fitted what happened during the camp with XXX leh. I'm just perplexed. Cos save for a KL trip we went together for a July exhibition, there was minimal contact between us. Different office levels how to talk?? Smoke break also seldom see him. Learnt from CTO that one of our prime products's gonna be his baby. Coincidentally I've already been working intensively on that product too (after Pat emphasized and re-emphasized the significance of this product during the management meeting). See how it goes.. I cannot stand have-or-don't-have kinda stuff. Well, curiosity does kill the cat!

Tomorrow on leave but going back for lunch with the gals and Reb and Mas. Farewell dinner couldn't make it, so should at least make it for lunch. Shall lug my fire-engine red suitcase to office then head off to Changi after lunch. Can wear denim! WOOHOO! They're gonna be so jealous. Keke.

Eco Camp

Moved around as normally as I could today. Felt like Robocop's half-sister with stiffy joints and a blank expressionless face. Last night during unpacking discovered a few more injuries. Including one on my big fat bum. Must have gotten it when I fell into a hole during the obstacles course.

Camp was AWESOMEEEEEEE. Terrific. 11 outta 10. Never laughed so hard and so long in my life.. Especially during the obstacle course. When the video's out, I'd post it here for all to view.

Well I was the unofficial target of the unforgiving viewcam. SO MANY CANDID GOOFY SHOTS!! Sigh.. there goes my image. We went Kluang cos of flooding at Kota Tinggi. Had the blessed fortune to stay at the largest and one-and-only organic rice paddy farm in Malaysia. WAY COOL... Imagine no high-rise buildings, no concrete, no cars (not much anyway). Paths are au naturale earth and stuff. No pesticides nor preservatives. The place's just thriving on Mother Nature's brilliant work plan of the food cycle >> Ducks to eat the insects that eat the wheat, and in return their shit is used for fertilizers. Smart eh? What goes around comes around. Grins.

Went jungle walk.. ate true-blue organic meals.. bonded with a super adorable blue-eyed kitten who liked to throttle my toes and play hide & seek using my legs.. munched on jungle grass and leaves.. saw leeches for the first time.. The place just smacks of wholesome goodness!

Hmm.. most memorable would be the obstacle course we had to conquer. Outta 11 we had to make it thru 8.. and we're split into two teams with one hour to complete the mission. Not easy ok.. especially the first one was the tarzan swing. Damn...... had my legs carried up by my CTO n deputy CTO can?? Haha.. Coz first time I attempted my hand slipped and they decided to improvise. Second time carried my legs up so I won't kenna the water. In the end headed STRAIGHT into the water. THe other team laughed like mad. My team laughed like mad. Even I also laughed and spluttered my way up the bank. Dr Kwok (our teambuilding coach and CTO of ST Engineering) and the other nature guides all laughed till their stomachs ached.

Some really sweet moments were the teamwork during obstacle course and heart-to-heart talks during the Action Learning Set. Very touched by the sincerity and dedication all of us have for the company. It's like.. we really want to help, but we've to "defog" the problem one by one first. I voiced out some of the problems in the company, and I'm glad I did. No regrets.

Got "romantic" moments too. First time rafted by a guy (well two la, strictly speaking) But the other one's married so only focus on the other one. Haha.. Like those old-time movies lidat >> bamboo raft drifting through the water (somemore its a lotus pond), strong young man standing at the back of the raft steering it, young lady seated in the middle of the raft. Blue skies and white clouds all around.. AAAhhhhhh..... *melt already* Wahaha.. Coincidentally young man and young lady sat/were near each other most times during the camp. LOL.. Coincidence, I stress again.

I'll post pictures and video here once they're ready. Gotta catch a shower and rest for tomorrow..

Camp

Doing three things now - packing bag, writing this, and talkin nonsense on the phone.

Shit.. no berms!!??!!!

Line went dead. Stupid idiot didn't charge mobile must be.

10 minutes later...

Back. LUCKILY have faded jeans. Folded the hems up to become 3/4s. Heh.. plus material's faded so it looks rugged enough.

Trackpants. Checked. Toiletries. Checked. Waterbottle. Checked. Repellant. Checked. Binoculars? Optional. Sleeping bag...... With Reon. Never mind la, the longhouse does provide bags for guests.

Ok I'm more or less done. SHit, gotta wake up at like 645 but I'm still pretty hyper NOW. Texting DC-square-T (his new improved acronym. mine's s-s... duh). Setting off for Mawai Eco Camp at 8am. It's near Kota Tinggi. Hope no flooding man.

Lunched with Coco and Linda today. Such a relief and welcomed break from lunching with the other group. Think partly also I'm still mad at The-One-who-incurred-Thy-Wrath. Told them what happened, and then his SMS came.

"Hey. if i offended u on Monday with my words, i apologize. I really din mean anything at all."

I told Angie about it two days ago during our smoke break. Thought she told him about it. Turned out to be Kev instead cos she subsequently asked Kev what happened...

"It's not just dat. Also by ur outburst in the office, 'HER?? Compared to joan she can stand one side.' I mean, whr's the respect in tis friendship?"

"Ok...i'm sorry. I'd be more tactful in future. Really didn't mean anything.."

I maybe damned for being a bitch, but apologies don't work that well on me. I prefer actions. See how things go bah.

What else to update... Hmmm. Meeting with the big ones. Tsunamis ARE coming our way and I've to help "oil our machines" and "aid the paradigm shift". More braincells to kill... more braincells to kill... Handsome Roy Fung's leaving. Sobs. There goes another Mr. Nice. Monday morn meeting reb and mas and lilian to view new office and discuss space allocation. WOOHOO! Can sleep a little more.. haha. Text everybody to remind them passports. Mr married-and-likes-to-text-me replied super fast. Like I said, he is sometimes SUPER friendly.

Ok gotta crash. Long day ahead.....

Badminton

Funny how a simple get-together with colleagues for post-work games had affected me so much.

Organised badminton for last evening since today's a public holiday. Turnout was ok; about 7 of us. Only booked one court so went on a rotational basis. My past few get-togethers with friends for sports were (and still remain) a time to goof around, laugh till tummy aches, and send balls flying all over/outside of the courts. Basically like kids having fun.

Last evening ended with me feeling totally outta sync with the activity and people involved. I dunno if it's that old feeling's back to haunting me again, but I do feel queasy and extremely so. Towards the end of the night, I was more rooted to the bench than being on the court itself.

I'm not one to hide what I'm feeling in front of people whom I take pride in terming as "friends". Friendship is an overrated terminology, which has spilled on to include genres of co-workers, acquaintances, or even your primary schoolmate who's in the class down the next corridor. Because I didn't manage to conceal my moodiness then, some became concerned. Including the one who triggered my uneasiness.

Of those I'd met, there'll be those who makes me feel totally comfortable being the goofball/clumsy oaf part I really am, and some others who never fail to make me feel I don't belong. Between the two, I've always had a bit more admiration for those who in understanding and being sensitive to the needs of others, take relish in exploiting their own inadequacies to make the rest feel comfortable.

This was unfortunately not the case during last evening's game, when I was runned down cruelly by a colleague/friend I'd grown to be fond of. Perhaps it had been a manifestation of unspoken hurt on a few previous occasions. I surrendered halfway through a game and passed the racket to another colleague who came over perhaps upon seeing my distraught face. All I knew is I had to leave the court to prevent further insults and to protect my esteem. Call me coward, but I chose to escape to the safety of the bench. At least I could be just an onlooker, instead of being pressured "to win the game" and being screwed when I miss a shot.

Most probably I'm rudely shocked by the idea of "post-work sports". My previous sessions with friends were all in good jest and less hot-headed competition. Plus we didn't care much about rules and regulations.

Wahlao! To hell with rules lah.. We're here to have fun. You wanna keep score you stand one side ah, warn you first.

And the rest of the time we'd either be 1) Swatting shuttlecocks into one another's ahem, vital parts, or 2) Making our opponents run from one end to the other end of the court.. or 3) Doing juggling acts with whatever equipment we have.

All in good fun, people. That's what friends do together. If I wanna compete, I wouldn't do it with people I care about, lest friends.

But then again, that's just me.

Thank God I met up with a sane soul after that for pool. Didn't join the badminton group for supper nor coffee. Enough's enough. At least with this friend, I know we treat each other with consideration. Jesting does NOT cross the line to become personal insults brimmed full of damaging disrespect.

Example of one previous brush with The-One-who-Triggered-my-Wrath-Last-Night:

Colleagues A and B, who are my cubicle neighbours, were jesting about me and him one fine day after lunch. They tried to start a rumour about us, but failing rather terribly with his remark that followed,

"Wahlau HER? Compared to (another ex-colleague), she can stand to one corner! (i.e. no room to even compete, i.e. ex-colleague is way better than me)"

Though I appeared to not to hear that and was focusing on the screen in front of me, the damage's done. Colleagues A and B tried to diffuse the situation by chiding him. I pretended not have heard anything.

Alas, I don't like hanging out with people who makes me feel undeserved/lousy/undesirable. Until the next saving grace (like him learning common courtesies and respect for FRIENDS), i guess I'd have to let this "friendship" chill for now.

Kick Off!

2006's gonna be a totally KICK-ASS year! WOOHOO!

Had my first annual Kick-Off since joining my current company in July 2005. For the uninitiated, this Kick-Off is held during the first week of January every new year. It's where the higher management meets and shares with everyone the objectives and goals for the new year, and the action plans they're planning to undertake.

Started at 9am and ended round 4plus pm. Bloody fruitful session it's been. Lest you groan and think, "How interesting can meetings be?", let me tell you that this Kick Off has totally exceeded my expectations. Totally. Mine was filled with witty humor, interesting rapid-fire exchange of ideas, and it is this kinda brainstorming sessions with the 'Eagles' that I particularly enjoy. You can say I've found the kind of company I wanna be with and wanna be in league with. Ambitious? Not really. Just that I've had enough of naysayers and negative people who only grumble about their lot and not voicing out their unhappiness to their superiors or DOING something about it. Plenty of them in the office.

Then there's those who gossip and magnify issues that they themselves don't even wanna do something about. The least one can do, is to bring it up bravely. If the company blacklists you as a result of your outspokeness, then I think it's time to look elsewhere for better opportunities. That's my belief and working style. Never victimize yourself, for God's sake! Be it work, interpersonal relationships, etc.

Of course, brilliant ideas can only remain ideas without proper planning on how to realise them. The time, though short, was sufficient for us to capture the gist of our crafted path towards the goals put forth on the table. I'm glad I spoke up during the action plans on the difficulties faced by my department, and to attain the cooperation of fellow partners. Especially thankful to my CEO, who was there to finish my sentences and emphasize on my points when the rest seemed to overlook/slight my suggestions. Why would they do that? I don't wanna know and it's not important. The key person is my CEO and big bosses. He and our Senior Product Manager has emphasized and re-emphasized on the BIG role Marketing has in every successful publicly-listed company. The importance of "Storytelling" and making our capabilities a "Heritage" that A***scan can be easily associated with.

This coming weekend of 14th and 15th would be yet another great opportunity for me to bond with the higher executives. I've been requested by my CEO to join the Outbound Team-building Camp that'll be held in Mawaii, JB. According to HR, the 2D1N camp costs a cool S$500+++ per head. Higher management and a selected few others like me have been signed up for it. Really looking forward to it.

Our most immediate goal is to become an IPO team in order to make our IPO Dream a reality. The goal that I've set for myself since stepping into this company has never been so fuelled before. That is to create a legacy for this firm. No, I'm not being noble. Reasons are rather selfish I would say >>

1. To increase my bargaining power in the company
2. To get headhunted
3. To be a person whom the company will fondly remember for a long time (even after I left)

Impossible? Not really. I am already working on it. Lots of stuff to do, and a long way to go. But the path is illuminated and I know I am not alone.

Cheers to a kick-ass year ahead!!!

Yikes

Waiting for hair dry and decided to blog. Was at Harry's boat quay before this. On a Tue night?? Yeah you got that right. Joel wanted 'live' jazz so badly, I just had to push running to Wednesday.

* Monday nite *
So tired. Monday met up with the gang for dinner and pool and coffee. Des and I were perpetually goofing and trashtalking each other to death. Like what's new right? LOL Stop grinning you nincompoop, haha. Karen was upset she couldn't catch Kong. Hendrik was like wtf has it gotta be my fault man?? Threw me to handle her, while Des went to find out details from drix. Tried my best to douse the woman's wrath...

Had crystal jade @ scotts branch for dinner. Polite auntie was still there, addressed me as "girl girl" and drix as "boy boy". Nearly laughed my balls off. Second time there, different group of people. Still remembered the "knife-shaved noodles" I ordered for Reub. Wonder what's he having for dinner now.

Went Mambo for pool. EXTREMELY crowded. Men shooting 9-ball at a few tables. The rest watched in awe. I couldn't bear to look. Wished I were at Ah Lim's watching Reub and Leo play instead. Coffeebean paragon for coffee after that and big people talk. Mature topics became pointless bitching when a certain someone starts talking. Me and the other two could only look at each other/away helplessly. Reminded me of something Drix said before, "How come you seem like the older one instead?"

* Tue nite *
Busy day at work, albeit satisfying. Empowered and efficiency's increasing. Better time management and multi-tasking. I'm getting good at playing the corporate game. Lunched with Clarence etc, a rarity instead given his schedule. Badminton coming Monday, courtesy of Wong who booked the court. Response is GOOD. Can't hardly wait.

Went Harry's with Joel for post-dinner drinks. Fat momma almost brought da house down with her soulful groovey voice. I love those silky vocals. Her last gig's this Sat, so we're thinking of getting a gift for her. Had a helluva fun with the boys throwing peanut shells into each other's cleavage. Haha. Luckily I had my cardigan with me. Downed 1 pint Erdinger and 5 glasses Heineken. BURPS. Getting fat and bloated... MUST RUN TOMORROW! Which reminds me: Clarence has volunteered to be my jogging partner. Haven't reverted him on it yet.

Downed half glass in one shot. A bit tipsy, but still ok. Was a whole lotta jabbing, wrestling, chasing, and tickling business as we made our way to the OCBC building. Singing nonsensically too like lamb chops (me) for example. Solid exercises for the abs. I love Joel.

Took Dad's car back. He thought Joel is Chouwee. Commented we're quite comfortable in each other's company. Well apparently we were yakketing n yakkatey all the way from boat quay to comfort delgro interchange (Dad wanted to refill his tank), to Joel's place (10min drive away from my house). Didn;t know we were THAT noisy. LOLS

***
Hair's almost dry now, gonna hit the sack. Tomorrow will be a good day. Have already prepared my to-do list for tomorrow. Feel so organized and sensible suddenly. 'Nuff crapping. Guden natch~!!!

2006

It's the first day of a new year!!! *hops around room excitedly*

Had a quiet countdown last night in the safety of my house. Away from the lunacy and chaos, booze, loud music blah blah blah. Sentosa? No thanks. MoS? Uh uh. Out with my bf/gf at XYZ place, wanna join? OF COURSE NOT!!!!

Duh.

So it was just me and my creaky old bones and my trusty PC + TV as the new year made its grandiose entrance at 0000 hours. As a grand finale bon voyage tribute to 2005, I'd express my thoughts and appreciation as follow:

To all my who've been there with me this far, through the honey and the bile, I LOVE YOU GUYS! Thanks for the Kleenexes and squashing hugs when I needed somewhere to unleash thy emotional dams.

I'd like to say thanks to those who have made me at them in whatever ways. Because each time it's an opportunity for me to keep track of my anger and people management skills. If your head's still intact, means I'm almost en route to nirvana. OOOMMMMMM.

To those who's made my X'mas extra special this year, here's a belated merry PIGmas from one of my fave animals (guinea pigs) >>

*******

The new year has already arrived. My advice is:

Get protected when you're having fun >>


Watch where the wind is blowing >>


Always be prepared for the unexpected >>



So there you have it. Have a smashalicious 2006 ahead folks!!

CHEERS!
