Had stomach runs and feeling nauseous on early monday morning. Took leave and visited Raffles Hospital to do my medical checkup for uni application. The nurse gave me a sample bottle for urine test and I waited for a long while before my name was called for x-ray and other checkups. Doc was rather grumpy guess cuz he had done too many such kind of checkup. He just ticked all columns quickly and signed his nice name below the form. Took my blood pressure and commented monotonously that my blood pressure was rather low and my spine kinda not straight. Guess what, he still put a healthy 110/75 for my blood pressure reading la. I still prefer the female doc at HPB who was so motherly and caring as she checked my spine and did x-ray. Although doctor is a specialised profession that required much devotion but I do believe that a simple smile from them and not an apple will keep all ill health away.

The capital marketing dept is shifting to plaza 1 and I felt much surprised. Firstly, is cuz I will not get the chance to talk with the guy (which I got little acquainted with last week). Next is I missed the OLs from next door hurrying to toilet with the loud thud of their high heels. It felt so much deserted and gloomy with the lights off and the door closed.

I was taking the lift when the OL from next door smiled at me. She has this oriental beauty which always make my heart skip a bit. We had a short chat and gosh, I felt so lucky to be able to speak with her. Her smile so dazzling and her voice so sweet. Of cuz I am not bi-sexual to have double attraction with both sexes. Just that, I always feel shy and nervous when I am being approached by beau and bella.

Late this week, the OL and another colleague had conflicts over some accounting terms and heads. The discussion turned out sour and it was followed by a loud bang on the table after a long ominous silence. He shouted "out of sight!" and I nearly chocked on my fish-sliced bee hoon. Soon after that, the colleague was on the phone to discuss XXX deal and project. The person on the phone was obviously been hard and pushing his/her luck to negotiate on the deal. He slammed the phone, kicked his chair and table and threw files out..and the poor portrait on the wall in front of me became crooked. Anyway, the representatives from XXX deal visited our office and most colleagues were rather pissed with their terms and conditions. I was like a tea-lady rushing in and out of meeting rooms to serve the clients. Anyway, temp staffs are like this la, have to do all odd jobs. Shouldn't have wear heels that day cuz I nearly tripped on the cables and wirings while holding on to the trays of cups, plates and jugs. If I tripped, that would be so damn malu.

Had dinner with someone whom I prefer to place as anonymous (wahaha~) on thursday. Sat in the chevrolet and we buzzed through raffles, nicholl highway, geylang, tanjong katong and finally settled at Old HK cafe at Joo Chiat. Nice ride and I guess I was super anxious to ask about driving a car and the techniques involved. Got lost half-way but managed to get back home safely after looking through the street directory and passing through the several lorangs in Geylang.

Procastination in the process. Have many things on mind to do and to be completed but I don't have the drive to do any single bit of them. The egoistic side of me is erupting and sometimes I do want to be part of the whole picture rather than just been the side cast most of the time. Perhaps that's part of a leo's characteristic. Aggressive at times but purring and laid-back at times. I am definetely not a leo's native, always wanting to be in the limelight and being AA. Or else I wouldn't be who and where I am. I would have found attraction in the entertainment or show business industry..which in fact I detest the most. Maybe I am more of a combination and blend of gemini and cancer.

Anyway, I was leaving office on a thursday when a guy from capital marketing approached me. I always see him since his office is just opposite of mine. He asked me whether I was the lady who spoke to him on the phone few days back regarding his enquiries on some stuffs. At first, I didn't know what he's talking all about since I receive plenty phone calls from weird people daily. Then, I suddenly recalled and we both broke into laughter. He broke the ice and offered his warm and large hands to me. Cool ya, just some desperate thinking of mine. Nice person la~

Went cycling at ECP with shin and QY on saturday. Initially, SQ was supposed to join but she..fainted. Gosh, I wasn't there to witness the incident. Luckily, it was just a minor injury. SQ mama if you are reading my post, don't visit The Clinic for the time being k. It was a fun cycling trip and I saw many adorable dogs. Tcss to the max and pacified our hungry growling stomach at yummy Jack's Place.

Witness some fainting spells in my home many years back. There was once when she fainted below the table and I tried to push her numb and cold body back. But I was still young and didn't have sufficient strength to lay her face down. Her head just thumped backwards at full gravitational force and blood immediated oozed profusely from her sore head.

Saw this great MV by Whee Sung and D.O - We're not crazy. If you are wondering whether the singer in the MV is a transexxual or drag queen..Whee Sung is a male and the person in the MV is lip-synching his song. The video was shot in Nevada..some city in Las Vegas. And could I say Whee Sung has great vocal chords and range for a male. A very emotional, artistic and abstract video with wonderful photography and choregraphy skills. Will not write in details on this video, is best that you just view it and either like or dislike it. Can visit the link, may load faster.

Read in the papers on the sudden deaths of two soldiers some time ago, one was a REC while the other was a pilot trainee. Blame it on the hot humid weather, heatstroke or simply cardiac arrest? Are soldiers less rugged and the younger generation too pampered? Cardiac arrest or anything which are relevant to heart..it does ring a bell to me. Now that friends and people around me are being enlisted to NS, I am getting more worried than before. Bless all of them and may it be a smooth ride for them all! Drink more water too.

I did some silly things few days ago and just to realize that my attempts are just futile. Perhaps sometimes the heart doesn't coordinate well with my mind. It beats furiously at moment and aches a little at other moments unknowingly to me. Females like me got to grow up and realise the importance of other stuffs rather than such silly games. The best cure I realized is to rub more salt over your old wounds and by doing so, you will wake up and face reality. And it works for me. Sadist or crazy..well, up to you to decide.

Gosh, I extented my working terms until mid July. Partly cuz I could earn extra income and the other reason being that I wanted to help the admin lady since there's insufficient manpower currently. She sang a very bitter chinese song begging me not to leave end of this month and I agreed. I must be crazy or some sort but ya, like that lo. When colleagues did some sweet things, my fear or anger always seem to vanish.

YJ did mention that I am getting more and more auntie after working with the OL. But being prudent and shrewd are virtue aren't it?

Met with yingjie and JP for dinner on tuesday. Was kinda weird at first but had a great time I guess. Manage to do some catch up with my dearie yingjie after such a long long time.

Normal week at work and I realized some very amazing 90/10% formula from one of the acccountant cum analyst. It set my brain thinking and cracking even when I was on the train. Now, I understand why some of them mumbled to themselves when they are walking around the office.

Sometimes, I don't know what I should do in life. I am not that strong-willed and daring to voice out my opinions. I want to make certain rejection but I halt as I have made some rejections in the past which turned out sour and awry. It troubled my mind and inner thoughts tremendously and I know the answer could only be yes or no. No laying between fences.

Moved in to my temporary house at kallang. Loved the view, I could see the ferris wheel and the dazzling neon lights of geylang. I adore geylang since a long time ago..of cuz not those hanky panky business, c'mon I am a female. But the bustling night life. Night activities seem to attract me more than morning activities although I am not a night-lifer. Shall update some nice pictures next time.

Went out to chill on friday night. Kena suan non-stop from Billy Bombers all the way to Kandi Bar. We are a hilarious two pairs. Got a teeny-weeny taste of flaming lambo which SQ declared to dunno how many persons and got me rather malu. Had this burning sensation on my throat but after that was all cool. Thought there would be some after-effects which were so-called claim but nothing really happened. Perhaps cuz I missed the flaming sip. After all, it's a first experience. Enjoyable night out with all of them.

Had dinner with some of class people at Ah Yat Seafood restaurant. Sumptous dinner and great gathering. The guys were discussing about NS and I do share their excitement and bitterness. Thanks QY, YC and SQ mama for the wonderful treat. I really do enjoy the meal.

Got to use manager's desk for this week. Helped the admin lady to set up her mail, messenger and printer settings via assistance with KHLeung in London. Spoke to him for more than 1 hour and my ears were choked with british accent. I hate doing troubleshooting for IT stuffs but this time round was rather fun. Back to my old desk next week and I loved the manager's desk to bits cuz it was cosy and the view was pleasant to eyes..unlike mine.

The electrical engineer visited us and I complained about the faulty doorbell. And that began his personal recount of feng shui and chinese superstitious beliefs. It sent chill down my spine and the admin lady was in disbelief throughout the whole chat. He says that ghost aren't that scary unlike human beings. Which I gotta agree sometimes.

Had my official graduation on thursday. The morning started rather screwed up and I failed to give yingjie her invitation card which I must seriously apologised. But all went well and I was like phew~ when they didn't show my video clip during the graduation ceremony. But there's Jas in the video and when he said "will definetly miss school" there was this super slow motion effect of him nodding his head followed by some sad music. That instantly sank my heat. Took many photos and everyone was in uplifted spirits that day. Kok Howe was joking that everyone continue smiling even when he had finished taking group photos for us. Headed down to vivo for lunch at sushi tei and food wasn't that ex with hanjuan and yingjie around. Kena pull along to watch movie with O5 people which I felt akward at first. But the movie sex in the city was hilarious with many dirty M18 sex in NYC jokes. Especially the sushi on body scence. Well, I loved sarah jessica parker's character. The guys didn't really like the movie but we girls enjoyed it. Then headed home for dinner and to do some personal stuffs that evening.

Went to the cashflow workshop on saturday with estelle and ken. The people were giving affirmative replies and that made me worry on whether this is some kind of MLM company. I was feeling uneasy and the office was engulfed with a strong scent of air fresherner. Then started the cashflow 101 boardgame with our game master, Richelle, hosting the game. Everyone was rushing to get out of the rat race within one hour and we were like frantic traders trying to get deals. I was slow in processing as usual. By the 45 mins I realised that I was closing to 65 years old but was still in the rat race and my passive income fell short of my expenses. 3 of the players were already on the fast track and I started punching on the calculator to try to get more stuffs on my asset column. I had many stocks but my real estate and business columns were pathetic. Crazy thing was I kept getting doodads.

After that was followed by sharing session. Met some NUS and NTU alumni and current students. Then had an interesting chat with a guy (gosh forget his name) from NUS engineering science. Couldn't believe that Richelle was just in her early 20s but an entrepreneur. At least got a chance to meet Robert Kiyosaki indirectly.


Going gaga over Mr Wong


Mr Stoll seems very tall among us
