Bloggers’ Calender 2009 Photoshoot

Despite reaching late.. I had a good time at the photoshoot! Great company, great jokes.

The many laughter are a rare find, given that most of us know one another online.

Thanks guys & gals for the fun this afternoon!

Can’t wait for the calendar to be published!

Post edit: photos from the shoot won’t be released before the calendar is out. So I guess we’ve got to wait till end of the month.

Many thanks to PatLaw & willyfoo for the idea and LiveStudios for the venue!

Lost phone

Sigh.. I’m feeling damn sad now. Lost without my phone, though my phone seldom rings.

Took cab home. Driver was a little bit impatient at the traffic light at office area (supposed to turn right) and he turned left, taking the route along Nicoll Highway to KPE to PIE. I got a pissed coz he was going one big round. Took out my phone to plurk. (thankfully thou, he stopped the metre way before we reached my house).

And yours truly left the phone on her lap after plurking.

When I alighted, I heard a thud sound actually. Checked the cab, saw nothing, and I closed the door. Few steps away, I felt something amiss. Checked my hand – no phone. Quickly checked my bag – no phone. SHIT! Turned back, tried to catch the driver’s attention before he drives away. Too late. Without much thinking, I quickly made my way home, got my mum to call my mobile.

Called taxi HQ, reported cab number, while trying to call my mobile at the same time.

Stood by the kitchen window. Then! I saw something shiny on the road (carpark)! Asked my sis if she can do me a favour. Think she was tired from her camp, she didn’t actually reply me. So I thought nvm..

Just then, a white van drove over to where the shiny object is. Driver alighted, picked it up and drove to the other side of the carpark and parked. (I could see from my kitchen window) And at this time, I saw the taxi driver drove in and starting to search the cab.

Yes! Someone answered the phone! Happily asked my brother to run to the van while I try to stall the person who took the phone. But the person didn’t speak! Blardy hell! I was so anxious already and you don’t want to say anything?!?!

Just as my brother reached first floor, the van driver drove off! WTF! Subsequet calls were not answered. wah kao!!!!

Just at this time, the taxi HQ called back and say the driver couldn’t find the phone. I felt so pai seh! Coz after hanging up the phone, the taxi driver still searched a few more times! I went downstairs wanting to thank him, but he drove off just as I reached first floor.

Sigh. I dunno if I should be happy or sad. Had been complaining over the past few days about my phone. Contemplating if I should sell it off and buy another one instead. Just “nice” I drop it? Argh!

My phone is just 1 mth old! Bought it on 3rd Nov only! =(

Tired.

Stressed out. At work. Feeling overwhelmed with the many tasks on hand.

I tell myself I can do it. Yes I can!

And my foot, is in intense pain again. Either I had to walk slowly, or limp. If I was seen walking around normally, I was just putting up a strong front. Decided to see the doc again tomorrow morning. I swear I didn’t feel the most pain in the morning! That was initially, when I visited the doc last month. But now, it just go into pain anytime of the day! &^*(@^#*(!@&!

你不是真正的快乐 by 五月天

你不是真正的快乐
词曲:阿信

人 群中 哭著 你只想變成透明的顏色
你再也不會夢 或痛 或心動了
你已經決定了 你已經決定了

你 靜靜 忍著 緊緊把昨天在拳心握著
而回憶越是甜 就是 越傷人了
越是在 手心留下 密密麻麻 深深淺淺 的刀割

你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

這 世界 笑了 於是妳合群的一起笑了
當生存是規則 不是 你的選擇
於是妳 含著眼淚 飄飄盪盪 跌跌撞撞 的走著

你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼

你不是真正的快樂 你的傷從不肯完全的癒合
我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河
難道就真的抱著遺憾一直到老了 然後才後悔著

你值得真正的快樂 你應該脫下你穿的保護色
為什麼失去了 還要被懲罰呢
能不能就讓 悲傷全部 結束在此刻
重新開始活著

As requested. I didn’t type them out though =)

Plurk Outing v2.0

Fine.. I’m obliged to type something about it

BUT I’VE GOT NO PHOTOS WITH ME IN THEM! SHYT! Shouldn’t have left early!

And so..

Plurk Outing v2.0 @ Ice Cold Beer @ SMU School of Business!

With a turnout of about 30 plurkers ? Didn’t do a count.

Actually.. I don’t know what to write about, since.. I didn’t interact much. hahaha

Except that I got @DaphneMaia to introduce the people sitting at the next table to us LOL

Had to leave early ‘coz was supposed to meet another group of friends for ktv.

It was great meeting new friends yet again! I thought I’ll just post their entries about the outing here!

Eh I thought it was a long list.. but I only found 3 links from this plurk.

So when’s Plurk Outing v3.0 going to happen?

突然好想你 by 五月天

五月天 – 突然好想你

最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚 绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音 不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今 终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你 你会在哪里 过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆 突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲 变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你 带我走过最难忘的旅行
然後留下最痛的纪念品

我们 那麽甜 那麽美 那麽相信
那麽疯 那麽热烈的曾经
为何我们 还是要奔向各自的幸福 和遗憾中老去

突然好想你 你会在哪里 过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆 突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚 绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

最怕此生已经决定自己过 没有你 .
却又突然 听到你的消息

Lingering sensation

The sky looked so promising as I sat by the window, plurking away on my laptop.

Until I hear a sudden downpour.

SHYT! My clothes are outside!

In the attempt to save the clothes, I ran to the kitchen. Knocked the toe against the door ledge, held on to the dining chair for support, skipped (hopped) a few steps. Thought I managed to balance myself. Alas! I fell, and the dining chair fell with me.

And my first instinct was to check if the toe was bleeding. As expected. I saw blood.

(After taking the clothes in) Washed the wound, walked back to the room like nothing happened.

I thought things are fine. No pain anyway.

As I made another trip to the kitchen to get myself some water, I felt something wrong.

The wound on the toe wasn’t in pain, but the nerve connecting to it was! All the way to the knee! Gosh! WHAT’S HAPPENING!

Slightly swollen toe. =(

The pain was gone during dinner time. Thankfully.

But I felt another kind of pain. The kind of pain you get when you have blue-blacks.

And I can’t bend the toe.

Sigh.
