Events over the week

Wow...it's been about 10 days ever since I last updated my blog...Will be a little more conscientious in updating it since some people are actually reading it. ;)

It's been a long day for me...running between the cage wash area and the sterile prep...a little short of manpower...did some weaning and topping up of food and water for my mice. Was supposed to give tuition to my students but they had something on so cancelled it, leaving my Friday free yet boring.

Had been slightly eventful for the past week....Lets see...

15/04 (thur): Went to Derrick's hs to celebrate Thong Eng's birthday...wierd? No it's not...Derrick's house is the place where the people always gather...His wife, Janet was pregnant and would be due in a week or so. We had sumptous dinner followed by a DVD movie session- School of Rock. Hey this show really rox man! I wasn't keen on catching it at the theatre simply because I don't like ROCK music....but it turned out to be good! For those who have not caught the movie, go grab the VCD or DVD...trust me, it worth watching.

16/04 (fri): HJ, Yu and I went to little India to shop for indian costumes to wear for our Annual DnD taking place the following Wed. I had a bet with SV that I'd wear saree on that day with a stake of 3 meals. HJ was looking more on Punjabi. When we got there, we were kind of lost..... There were thousands of different sarees ranging from $7- $200...I didn't know what to get. I wanted to try on one but we found out that we've gotta pay for the saree before trying out. This made me hestitant. What happens if I don't look good in one? I wouldn't want to spend too much on something that I'd only wear once in a lifetime.

As I was unsure, we ended up buying nothing and settled dinner at one of those Indian eateries. I do have a Punjabi as a backup which I had borrowed from Carol but it was a little loose. I told the gals that I'd probably end up wearing that prepared to lose the bet.

17/04 (sat): Met poly friends for tea then went down to Clarke Quay to have Indonesian food. Choon was driving so it was easier for us to move around. Sent Cat home and ended up playing mahjong at her house till 1am...As a novice, i had an excuse to lose..lost $4.90. Choon was the big winner, but it's fair cos' he's gotta send us home too. We treated it as payment for fuel and transport.

18/04 (sun): usual boring sunday where I gave tuition for the whole day..met ZZ for dinner at the newly renovated food court at Marina Square. Chilled out at pacific coffee, one of my favourite hangouts. It was one of the rare times where it wasn't crowded... Chatted a lot... felt melancholic after that...

19/04 (mon): SV agreed to meet us gals at little India after work..he gets to leave early because he starts work early. He claims that his friend has a shop and would be able to get a discount for me. So after work, Ai, Yu and I went down again. But we did not managed to meet SV cos his phone was off. I was frustrated that i couldn't get him and decided to kick that saree idea outta my head. The gals refused to let me give up because they wanted to see me in it. I got one in the end for only $15, but that stupid shopkeeper refused to teach me the steps on dressing. He gave me an instruction sheet and asked me to read it instead.

In order to keep me accompany, HY went on to buy a yakata at Bugis so that I don't feel as if I'd overdressed on that day. I went home and tried figuring out how the Indians find their way to tranform a normal piece of cloth to a wonderful dress..took me quite a while, but got it almost there~~~

20/04 (tue): Met my soulmate after work and chilled out throughout the evening.

21/04 (wed): Found out that my phone got hanged and died in the morning...terribly annoying..
We were granted early knock-off to prepare for the DnD. Went to Ai's house to dress up. I was so afraid that I'd overdressed and was very self-conscious....
To my surprised, there were many others who were more flambouyantly-dressed, an I wasn't the only Chinese who wore a saree..In fact, Cheong Sams were rarely seen that night and Indian costumes have shown to be in trend. As usual, my jinxed luck got its way of preventing me from winning anything in the lucky draw when the numbers before and after mine have already been drawn. Though I left the ballroom empty-handed, it was satisfying to see colleagues and bosses get their brains off work and show their less restrictive side.

22/04 (thur): My saree and I intruded into the topics of my colleagues at work today...Kinda found out that there's still room for improvement in tying the saree...It's ok, i still won the bet with SV...haha..and i got my first pack of wanton me for FREE!...2 more meals to go...It's all worth it;P.

silly, stupid or naive??

The whole of Saturday was really eventful for me...
I slept at 10 plus on Friday night and woke up at 5am in the morning due to a really painful throat...waled up to my fridge and desperately digging for medicine...from cold tablets..to lozenges...to nasal spray...I grabbed everything and starting popping them down my throat and spraying down my nasal passage..went back to bed, but i couldn't sleep...until 6.30am...waoke up at 8 am...couln't sleep..had lunch at 1230pm..napped at 130pm....I was terribly sleepy but forced myself to wake up at 2.45pm. I had promised to keep up with a tennis game and I try to keep it.
I was still feeling very gorgy even on the train...met Yu and took the train down to Lakeside...where Rhon's condo lies...

This was the second tennis game we had but this time round...I was really not doing my best....Missed a number of balls because my mind was not focussed...

We had a short break and I found out that a friend of mine has betrayed my trust...It was a trivial matter though but I'm now more aware of who's more trustworthy and who's less...one down from my circle of trust.
And i just found out that one goon...I don't wanna mention his name...lied about his blog address...and tricked me into giving mine..assh*..U KNOW WHO U R....u gonna get it from me on monday..

We played till 7pm...wash up and set off for dinner at Jurong point.We had pizza and while we were almost done...and my hp was ALMOST out of batt..I received an sms from a colleague " Urgent. Pls call Dr. ***** at 9XXXXXXX" ...

Die...was told to call my director...what have I done?? I showed it to the rest of the collegues and borrowed a phone to call back...

Facilty encountered a major flood...Seems like one of the pipes broke...without much thought..i pulled 3 other colleagues along who were having dinner wif me..

We moved off anxiously...that was about 9 plus at night...changed and went in...Big boss was already there and sounds of water dripping like rain echoed in our ears...it was dripping everywhere...along the corridors and in the rooms....

WE took the mops and everyone start clearing the fully-covered floor...though it was tiring...we tried to create some jokes and entertainment in the midst of our work... we ended at about 11pm, and everyone was really tired after a whole day of workout..from tennis to mopping.

My day was kinda spoilt when i got ticked of by someone who feels that I was being silly to go back and to "sai gang" when I was already unwell...

My mood went foul..cancelled my tuition and start stuffing myself with food....
got lunch, then guava, followed by tapioca chips and now...ice-cream with bread!! What a glutton!

self reflection

Hmm...life is really unpredictable...received a news last night from a friend that her granny just passed away...
Whenever my friends tell me that their granny passed away...I'd be fearful of the day when my granny has to go too....My granny can be considered one of the most important people in my life and I was all stuck to her when I was young...I'll always sit by the windows and wait for her to come back if she were to go out till late at night....And I'll start to worry when she didn't come back on time...
The main reason I moved back to stay with my parents is also because her. I know I can't be so attached to her or I'll definitely be devastated the moment she leaves....Wierd right??
I'm one kind of wierd person that worries about things that have not taken place...Cry before spilling the milk...

It's a habit of mine to do a self-reflection once in a while..especially when people commented about me...
Someone commented that I'm AGGRESSIVE...have you guys ever realised that??
Or have I become aggressive ever since I started working??
Apart from being aggressive, I'm hot-headed, impulsive and quick-tempered.
My friends decribed me as "sweet, cheerful and friendly" in my friendster testimonials...
I turned out to be the exact opposite...so far apart from my looks...
At work, people decribed me as "dao", "that proud and arrogant, overly-confident look...always ready to pick a fight with whoever steps on my tail"......

Maybe that's why my superiors doesn't seemed to like me...maybe that's why my relationships never work out...maybe...that's why my interpersonal relationships always have hiccups.

My over-protective nature keeps me on guard with a shield...and I'm constantly feeling insecure...Maybe it's best to be alone and not pull anyone into the dark, endless pit....where I've been hiding...

hair frenzy

Oh yeah...i kinda missed out one important change to me...my hair...yes...i went to colour and highlighted my hair on Friday...I actually wanted to cut it short and hightlighted it...Check out prices from a few saloon..chosed Jean Yip in the end...Got a cute hairstylist....though he's a bit short and he's a Malaysian...Suggested that I keep my hair length cos cutting it short won't end up nice due to the shape of my previous hairstyle...I got my hair trimmed though...followed by colouring..i'm glad it turned out nice...he chosed the colours for me :)..but then he suggest i do something to my oily scalp..so i went ahead loh...As usual, they tried to pyscho me to sign up the package which cost up to $600 for about 6 visits...but I declined the offer. I got my hair ironed at the end of everything and vualaaaaa~~it's so not me...

Yu, who has been waiting for me for the past 2 hours..poor gal..almost coudn't recognised me.."very sweet" she commented...The word "sweet" really doesn't fit well on me..too feminine on me I supposed.. especially my back view...Make her to take a picture of me with her camera phone to "capture the moment" since the straights were not gonna last long.

Hmmm...finally can consider rebonding as an option ... never liked the idea of it for my hair because it would make my already "flat" hair look even "flatter"...but it turned out to be not too bad..

These few days have been combing and drying my hair to maintain it's straightness.i can't rebond it now because..i've already spent a bomb that day doing colouring and scalp treatments...

I was so cautious with my new hairdo that I tried to swerved away from each drop of rain....hehe..moron..;)
My hair is my everything!!!

laze in the rain

I was all looking forward to this day to get my feet on those blades....never really tried blading before except for once...during my poly days. Had planned to blade with my colleagues today when the weather started to chill and the rain started to fall. Tried to keep my fingers crossed that no one would back out until i started receiving smses from Yu informing me that this guy wants to stay in slumber and that gal has some errands to run....as usual, this "Aeroplane Queen" wlll come out with some nice excuses when she wants to "fly ur aeroplane"...anyway, it was kinda expected lah...; ]

But the four of us-Yu, Ai and boyfriend and I went on to try our luck..Met at Parkway to have lunch and did some light shopping... Ai suggested bowling, so we set off to East Coast in the drizzle. When we reached the bowling alley, we were told that half of the lanes were set aside for the tournaments and the other half were all taken up by their regular customers...what a day! So we ended up in Mac, hoping that one of us would squeeze out some ideas on what to do next. I began to feel sleepy, and wished I was in bed. We parted not long after.

I reached for my bed the moment I got home and slept for about 2 hours when I received some calls from my friends. Had late dinner with a friend...it was a treat to Mac (again). Tried out the bowling alley at downtown east...but it was damn crowded...seems like every corner in S'pore is crowded...I hate crowds...We were number 7 on the waiting list...so we left for pool..

Number 2 on the waiting list for pool...we waited....and waited...
Decided to go home since I can't play for too long or I might have no transport home..

Had a shower when choon n tony called at 12mn to ask me go KTV... Had to turn them down since I was already in my pj... Guess this is just the right day to stay at home and laze in bed. Nothing would turn out right if I were to go out today. Tomorrow would be a better day.

what could have been worse????

It's really not a good sign that I blog in just a few hours after my first blog....
When i was so down, some ex-classmate can still play a bloody April's Fool joke on me...
Well i dun blame him...but got really frustrated...
Wouldn't go into details of the joke...but i was quite relieved that it was a joke afterall...
But it did caused me unneccessary anxiety and worries.
After lunch..read a mail from a girlfriend about how her trip with her ex-bf went...
Make me feel like crying out loud...it was like a dream...sweet during that trip..but have to face reality when she came back....
Probably gonna happen to me anytime soon....
Feel like shit now~~~~~~~~~ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
I'm really tired...tired and drained...of what i dunno...tired of living i guess.
