Short update

Nothing much that I can do with my Fujitsu laptop, since it’s so freaking slow.

So I thought I’ll try and see what I can blog on.

I’m still busy with work, yes I know work is endless. But once this project is over, which is going to be SOON, in say 2-3 weeks’ time, it’s gonna be woohoo~ time!

Still busy but slightly less busy, as most part of the bulk of work had been done, it’s mainly bug fixing now. So I’ve got a wee bit of time to hop over to XBOX area – after office hours – to play a bit of Wii that Yuhui brought to office.

And I must say, I’m addicted. *oops* They got me tempted to get one set of my own, so that the kids can play when they come my place.

Raving Rabbids 2, Ping Pong, Cooking Mama, Mario Kart. Haven started on Mario Kart though, there’s bound to have time for that.

Have been missing out on badminton & Pilates for the past 5 weeks at least. Gosh I need that minimal exercise that I can get every week.

Sigh I miss my after-work activities!

If you’ve chatted with me over msn recently, you might have noticed my display picture:

Let me introduce, this is baby Gabriel 李彦泽, Angie‘s newborn! More photos can be found here. Cute right this photo? Wonder how his parents taught him that. haha! For a 1 mth old, this photo is so cute!

Time really flies. Been receiving quite a number of wedding / baby shower invitations recently. Guess it’s the time now. But no worries, you probably won’t receive one from me anytime soon. =)

Good Job ladies!

输得心服口服!They’re really good!

Nevertheless, good job done ladies! Silver is good enough, for now.

Thank you for helping us clinch a medal after 48 years!

Congratulations Singapore!

Woohoo~ We’re finally getting a medal after 48yrs!

An internal email was sent out at 2.30pm titled “History in the making”.

Xbox area has became the official spot to watch Table Tennis Women Team Semifinals LIVE. (While I catch the scores LIVE online)

5pm. TGIF. Wanted to play Wii, but the gang was still at xbox area. Ended up joining them to watch the matches.

Excited. The Singapore Sporit! The XM spirit! We were all so excited during the match-point! Will we win or will we say bye-bye to the Gold/Silver medal once again?

Alas, the players did us proud! No doubt some people call them China-poreans, but it’s still great having a medal won under the name Singapore! WoohoO!!

The Korea team did great as well! If you’ve missed how the score went this afternoon. SG 1 point, KR 1 point. KR 1 point, SG will add 1 point as well. That’s how close we were.

Nevertheless, WOOTS! We’re guaranteed at least a Silver!

This sunday! Finals! I’m so gonna catch it live!

Jiayou girls! We’re all supporting you back here in Singapore!

The Angel

I can’t stand it when people doesn’t give up their seats without others telling them to.

Though thankfully, they stood up to give up their seats after I politely requested them to.

Happened many times on my way to work. Pissed off with them. What happened to all the manners learnt in primary school?

Take this morning for example. Bus 960 was as packed as usual, this old lady, I estimated her age to be ard 70s, was standing at the 4-seater seats (the one with 2 seats facing backwards). She’s slightly shorter than me, with no seat-handles / bar handles to hold on to, she had to rely on the hanging handle. The route of the bus has quite a few turns before it reaches the next stop, of which the turns, to young people, are not entirely safe without holding on to handles. The hanging handle doesn’t help much ‘coz you have to balance yourself when the bus turns.

Throughout the whole journey, the old lady stood throughout. And the person sitting in front of her, is a woman at her early 30s the most. WTF? Cannot stand up let the old lady sit is it?

I wasn’t an angel today, one thing I was tired, secondly I wanted to see if the woman will stand up or not. #$%^Y&U Wrong choice made. So I asked the lady to stand closer to me and hold on to the seat handle instead. At when she said her feet’s actually aching. Sigh. I should have been an angel and asked people to give up their seats, but doing it so often made me feel like I’m just being a busybody.

The ugliness of Singaporeans.

Happy (belated) Birthday Singapore!

Why do I keep getting the impression that Singaporeans are nothing but spoilt brats?

*bleah*

Please don’t compare our glorious NDP to the Olympics opening. Two different occasions, two different locations, two different countries. Obviously they have the money to do a glam show. If we were to have fireworks only once every 4 yrs, you think ours will not be any grand?

Be proud. No matter how small we are, it’s still a nice place to be in.

Woohoo~

Had been an eventful day, despite spending my precious weekend in office.

Decided to invest in a proper face-care regime, nonchalent about the big hole in my pocket now. 😐

080808 had been a good day, my first assignment as an XM Clubber, TGIF went smoothly. Plus May cycle of the company had been approved, with yours truly here being one of those affected 😀 Nevermind if you don’t understand.

As time passes today, there was a small(?) sense of excitement. Thanks to XZ, finally figured out how to make use of the little & 5 yrs old Canon Powershot A80.

The office building is just opposite where NDP was held. Pretty good view of the fireworks! Glad I made the choice to stay, took over hundred photos! Visit my flickr to view those that are the nicer ones. Quite a lot of blurred photos. Sigh. It’s a good attempt though, first time using the manual settings of the camera =)

One of my favourites:

I saw this online. So pretty!!!!

Compared to the one I took:

I must clarify, the fireworks photos, would have been better if not for the smoke. Not condensation on the window panes!

咿呀呀

咿呀呀(五月天成员石头献给Baby的歌)

作词:石头@五月天 作曲:石头@五月天

呀 咿呀呀 咿呀呀
宝贝说的话 咿呀呀
不要担心 你很快就长大
很快你就会 叫妈妈
转眼你已经 一岁啦
宝贝还不会 弹吉他
相信有一天 你也会大声唱
哥哥爸爸真伟大
你的微笑是魔法
你的眼泪是我的慌张
你会有烦恼 也会有悲伤
有我在这里 别怕
呀 咿呀呀 咿呀呀
宝贝说的话 咿呀呀
我会担心 你很快就长大
很快就不会 找爸爸
你会爱上你的她
你会拥有也会失去呀
未来的路 很远很漫长
心痛的伤 就让他去吧
你的微笑是魔法
你的眼泪是我的慌张
你会有烦恼 也会有悲伤
有我在这里别怕
未来的路 很远很漫长
有我在这里别怕

Plain White T’s Hey There Delilah

Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me.
