I was waiting for bus to work one day when I saw NP shuttle bus at e opposite bus stop. Certain nostalgia came back to me and I had this tearing thought of returning to sch immediately. I miss those days when I had to attend lectures, to eat at SIM foodcourt and the occasional bus rides wif Ying Jie back home. ~miss SIM Food greatly~

Like what Hanjuan said (sorri mushroom ah, hv to quote u haha) " We have a lifetime to work so better treasure the school days." I heard so many cases of working adults who wish to further their studies and return to schools. Even the uncle at my lab mentioned about the thrills of studying and how he wished to study again. loLz..

I received the news early this week that the juniors from my secondary school's Guzheng Ensemble clinched Gold Award for SYF. Shu Wen sent me the video clip of their last rehearsal and wow..it blew me over. Congrats Juniors, your hard work had paid off and the award had shown your determination and professionalism. I am so happy for you gals!

Parents bought Value Pack Ice Cream from Venezia. So touched cuz all 3 flavours are my favourite..green tea, strawberry and lemon sorbet.

Watched "200 Pounds Beauty" with Jiang Xin and Hanjuan. It's a great, light hearted and touching movie. The leading actress had this very sweet voice that oOh..melts my heart like caramel. Indeed beauty is only skin deep. Then we headed down to Toa Payoh for a talk at Sunshine Empire only to find out that the talk was cancelled. I felt kinda dejected but managed to purchase Ayumi's Best White Album which came along with a promotional mega size poster and that cheered me up. One thing that baffled me was the way the music store promotes Ayumi's double album. Why not have sth like a 10% discount off when you purchase the BLACK & WHITE Album. I mean this way they can clear their stocks faster and not face slow sales rate. But anyway is juz my opinions la..perhaps they have their reasons or better sales ideas.

Ayumi looks gorgeous in this sexy pose. I had heard rumours that Ayumi is experiencing decline popularity in Japan as Koda Kumi is too HOT. But who cares cuz I still prefer Ayumi Hamasaki as she rocks and her songs are much better.

Had a gastric flu bout on friday. Dunno what's wrong with my stomach but it juz refuses to perform as expected. T_T This gastric flu syptom has been an old stomach habit of mine and will act up at unexpected moments...which is oH so Damn it. I visited the toilet countless times and feel like puking whenever the smell or sight of food is around me. Guess I have make a nice ally with toilets and perhaps I shld even invest in some toilet buisness in the near future. LOL. I wanted to take half-day leave but dropped the idea since it was a friday. So I "tahang" the whole day in lab lo.

Friday air always seems to be better and my mood swings become less frequent. Someone says I am especially EMO on Monday which I completely agree with him/her. Haha.

Thanks a lot to Yi Jia and Yong Zen for giving me the doughnuts from Vinco's. Call me a country bumpkin or mountain turtle but I dunno much about doughnuts. The only kinda doughnuts I ever know are those plain sugar or chocolate with colourful sugar kinds. WaHaha. The doughnuts from Vinco's were yummy and had a soft and crunchy taste. My taste buds are craving for more.

I went to Peck San Teng （碧山亭）and Kuan Yin Mountain （观音山..direct translation lol）during the weekend with parents for Qin Ming Festival to pray ancestors. It rained heavily on that day so the weather was less humid. When I was young, the sight of urns and burning paper were a douuble horror to me. Especially when I had to hold the joss sticks and pray to my grandma in this errie hallway. But now I'm more impressed by the ancient yet serene architecture of such temples.

Being reading "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" lately. It's a great book with inspirational thoughts that touches my heart. I came across this sentence:

"You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you don't. We think such things are random. But there's a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole."

A monk once told me that all babies are awaiting death once they are born and that death is inevitable. Hmm, indeed it's true.

Slacking in his tunnel

Being doing the routine stuffs for 5 wks liao. Haha..can't imagine that I have not touched SVOC and those ''Cha-Cha" separating funnels for such a long time. I miss them greatly.Working with Uncle Chong is great and at least he's more approachable. Some workers there are dampening my mood by providing such comments:

1. You can't learn much from Uncle Chong

2. I feel pity for you..sighz

3. Why are you still working with him for such a long time, you shld be learning new stuffs

But let me put this clear, is not that I don't wish to learn new stuffs but they just don't offer me the chance. Almost every day, I offer my help politetly to Senior TO and the reply is so expected " There's nth for u to do today." or " I will inform u when there's work"..(which ends up as a lie). So I will say OK and hunt for new things to learn from others since she doesn't own the whole lab. Bleahz.

It's so strange how coldly she treats me. Sometimes she smiles at me but at other times she just gives me a cold shoulder. I am not complaining about any unfair treatment but I just don't get it on why she will rather do those work herself. I didn't screwed up her last job the previous time.

And here I shall disclose my top 3 "Pissed My Mood" list..lOlz

1. Stomach cramps

2. Threats

3. People who snaps at you when he/she is in a bad mood even though you're the innocent party

The excruciating stomach cramp started on thursday and I visited the toilet for countless times. The pain was just like someone tying a thick rope around my stomach and pulling me back tightly every few minutes. If I had a choice I wld rather pull out a knife and stabbed myself like a Samurai..bidding Sayonara to them. Haha..sorri for being so sadist.

I hate threats..especially when some old fella asks u to wash bottles and threatens to make ur life miserable and report to ur supervisor if u failed to do so. I don't mind washing stuffs or mopping floors but pls PLS dun use threats on IA students to resolve such issues. It really irriatates me a LOT.

See how accurate this forecast was " Make sure you don't respend to ppl who want to pull you into an emotional wrangle..being brutal could be the only way." Think I gotta Think and Act Smart, be less gullible and emotional at times. Jia You!!! 困难挫折打击不了一颗坚定不移的心 (GM James Phang)

Went to East Coast for cycling cum BBQ on Saturday. It was super relaxing and calming when I saw the sea and sky. I felt so carefree and the atmosphere was so much less tensed than that lab. Even how difficult life seems there's always this little bit of emotional comfort and serenity ard. *sMiles*

Muz apologsie to JX..you're my first passenger on the double bike but I juz dun have the stamina to ride. But at least we have fun rite..and Jie Jie came to our rescue. Haha.

SQ and KW's colleague was so nice to drive us home. Thanks a lot Milton.

Light turns to darkness
Darkness turns to silence
Silence forces unspeakable truth

Clinging on to the fragile and faint hope of life
But yet it shrivels

In fornloness, lonliness and regrets
There's a undying voice within an innocent soul
Pleading to be freed of all torments

Time waits for nobody
Plead not for time to unwind
Plead not for guardian angels

After each rain
The sun appears
In adversity
See not a cup as half emptied
But as half fulled

Being dreaming of her lately, although the dreams are getting fainter but I still wake up in cold sweat. Is it an answer telling me to move on with life but not to forget about her? I obviously have no definite answer cuz it's juz too abstract. Mayb is juz me tinking too much cuz like wat Wen Fang told me before.. I am a person who tinks too much all e time n I shld learn to relax. Haha..Life is a vexing puzzle.

Wednesday started quite ok until the Senior TO pull a long face. Dun wish to explain this lame incident but it obviously tells me more about ppl in working life. Apologised to her and she lectured me awhile before I continued wif my work. I m feeling stressed wif her ard and my heart skips a beat whenever I do sth wrng. Gotta get used to life there and start complaining less. Cuz someone says I m a complain queen..muaHaha. Luckily some students there are quite supportive.

New bird still getting used to e new env

Went out wif godsis this wk and was treated to lunch cum dinner at Sakae Sushi. Gosh..i ate alot. My stomach was full of salmon, rice and green tea. Had a unique shopping experience wif her. Indeed, cash is power and being more affluent means that the places you shop are different. She taught me some real lessons in life and cleared my doubts abt MLM.

Hanjuan's BBQ Birthday

Hanjuan.. the birthday gal

Went for Hanjuan's 21st birthday bash on the last day of march. I met up with friends at the train station and somehow, I just couldn't stop talking and teasing them. Time really does fly and indeed absence makes the heart fonder. I really miss u peeps and this bonding session or wadeva u call it..muahaha..is really enjoyable and the best time of my week. I was so exicited (goodness..dunno for wat reason) to catch up with friends and of cuz to take a break frm mundane ''no life'' week.

Before the start of the BBQ, Hanjuan sat wif us on one e cove at ECP and we managed to persuade her to wear the brand new sports jacket we bought fot her. K..tat's the moment when I was being v lame and crappy due to the influence of SQ and MR. KL lo. LOlz..

I saw Shin's new Motorola HP and was super amazed by how slim and convenient it was. Then KW took a video of me called the "Bok-Bok-Bok Vibrating phone". I feel so malu la after watching tat video. GeeZ

The birthday gal proceeded on wif her "Thank You" speech which she did standing high on e stool. Haha..remind me of some impt parliament speech. She desperately wanted to end her speech asap so Hanjuan cut it short wif a simple senetence " can we cut the cake?" Everyone started roaring in laughter and I ended up wif fits of hiccups and burps.

Leftovers frm e BBQ

Had a great buffet of grilled chickens and prawns, mushrooms, salad, fizzy drinks and cakes.

Back home on the train..wif some unknown person third from right. Look at shin, QY and KL faces and u noe tat once again I didn't manage to take their pictures secretly.
