A proper post

A proper post. At last. =)

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Been hoping for some kind of a surprise, but it didn’t come. *ouch*

These days I’ve been so sick, mentally. Going to get physically sick soon. Have got many things that I want to write about, but just got no energy at night to sit down properly and give those stuff a proper think-through.

In summary, life has not been too bad. Trying to get myself engaged with outside activities, after working hours that is. Like participating in chingay, finding courses to enrich myself.

MapleStory is becoming a bored game, especially when no one’s online most of the time. Lack of motivation to train my character. Stuck at level 77 for so long.

Sigh.. Life is becoming so mundane now that I’ve officially entered the workforce. Standard routine everyday: work > home > tv > 1hr (or maybe even less) of comp > sleep.

Boring.

As age catches up, I’m starting to feel the stress. Acting nonchalant, in actual fact I’m not. It didn’t feel any better when I’m seeing more of my friends starting the new phase of their lives. You know what I mean.

But still, life’s been good in general. Still glad I’m given a chance to experience life. =)

三吋日光 by Fish Leong

三吋日光

深秋山頂風微涼　戀人並肩傻傻看夕陽
仰望　你為我敞開的天窗　一段日光落在手心　
三寸長

＊你說　秋天早上的日光
　一寸　能許一個願望

＃希望我愛的人健康　個性很善良
　大大手掌能包容我　小小的倔強
　你的浪漫　只有我懂欣賞　
能讓眼淚長出翅膀飛離我臉龐

△還想每天用咖啡香　不讓你賴床
　週末傍晚　踩著單車　逛黃昏市場
　我的浪漫　只有你懂欣賞　
就讓每個颱風晚上不恐慌緊張

第三個願望　還不想講
你自己想一想　問微笑的月光

Repeat ＊,＃,△

一人一支閃閃仙女棒　好像我們之間有星光
很燙　可是很燦爛很漂亮　一點點光　捧在手上像太陽
等到　世界末日你再講　那個願望　一起握緊不放

CLEO helps you

Adapted from askCLEO. LOL

I know there’s nothing wrong with being single, and for a while I was quite content to be one of those swinging singles, doing my own thing without having to ‘report’ to anyone. But now I’m starting to feel a little down about it. I’ve been trying to get back into the dating scene the past few months, but I’m still single. What’s wrong with me?

A lot of people are single through choice, while some are single because of situation (like working or living in a place where there are very few other single people). And of course, there are those who’d love to be in a relationship and meet lots of available people but still remain solo.

There are two types of relationships – ‘co-creational’, where two balanced people live their lives side by side; and ‘needy’ relationships, where one or both partners are using each other to compensate for low self-esteem. If you’re had co-creational relationships in the past, being single probably doesn’t frighten you. Needy people, meanwhile, want someone to do all the things they should be doing for themselves – someone to entertain, financially support and nurture them. Not surprisingly, this sort of person sweats desperation and any self-respecting prospect runs like hell on sight. If this is you, try dating yourself. Treat yourself the way an adoring partner would: spoil, pamper, and motivate yourself just as they would. Just when you decide you don’t need a man, you’ll be flooded with offers.

It’s all the tea’s fault

Photos will be up when I sort them out. I promise. Have already uploaded some to flickr though. But I need to upgrade my flickr account. Reached the limit of photos I can display there. haha

My hair smells of ktv room now. Can’t wash hair since it’s already so late. yucks.

Had been a great break for the past few days! On leave on Mon/Tue to settle last min CNY preparation like queueing for bak kwa (yes I’m one of those few who actually queued for 2 hours just to get the maximum-allowed-2kg of bak kwa), baking cookies, last min spring cleaning..

Half day in office on Wed, doing practically nothing. Everyone’s in CNY mood. hahaha

CNY’s pretty normal this yr, except that we’ve got more kids around. More questions from aunts about “when are you bringing ur bf to show us”, “when are you getting married”.. All I replied was, it takes 2 hands to clap. =)

Sat was practically spent at LW’s place. Nice flat she’s got. I’ve got my lucky stars around that day, kept getting blackjack. keke

Busy house-hopping on Sun. Started at the house that’s the furthest away – Kovan. Last stop @ Teck Whye. And then it’s mahjong time. yeah! But my hand’s still itchy now. The 3hr session didn’t curb the itchiness!  Leaving only 3 of us, went to the nearest Kbox @ JEC. Lousy place, Lot1’s was much better that time.

Back home at 11pm. Dead tired but can’t sleep. Brain’s too active!

The Complaints Choir Singapore

We get fined for almost everything
Drivers won’t ‘give chance’ when you want to ‘change lane’
The indoors are cold, the outdoors are hot;
And the humid air, it wrecks my hair
Those answering machines always make you hold
Only to hang up on you

When a pregnant lady gets on the train
Everyone pretends to be asleep
I’m stuck with my parents till I’m 35
Cause I can’t apply for HDB
We don’t recycle any plastic bags
But we purify our pee

*chorus:
What’s wrong with Singapore?
Losing always makes me feel so sore
Cause if you’re not the best
Then you’re just one of the rest

My oh my Singapore
What exactly are we voting for?
What’s not expressly permitted
is prohibited

“Ooh”

When I’m hungry at the food court, I see
People ‘chope’ seats with their tissue paper
To the aunty staying upstairs:
Your laundry’s dripping on my bed sheets
Please don’t squat on the toilet seats
And don’t clip your nails on MRT

Stray cats get into noisy affairs
At night my neighbor makes weird animal sounds
People put on fake accents to sound posh
And queue up 3 hours for donuts
Will I ever live till eighty five
to collect my CPF?

*chorus

Singaporeans too kiasu! (so scared to lose)
Singaporeans too kiasi! (so scared o die)
Singaporeans too kiabor!(scared of their wives)
Maybe we’re just too stressed out! (even the kids)

“Ooh”

Old National Library was replaced by an ugly tunnel
Singaporean men can’t take independent women
People blow their nose into the swimming pool
And fall asleep on my shoulder in the train

Singapore’s national bird is the crane (the one with yellow steel girders)
Real estate agents’ leaflets clogging up my mailbox (en bloc, en bloc; en bloc, en bloc)
Why can’t we be buried when we die?
No one wants to climb Bukit Timah with me

*chorus

“Ooh”

There are not enough public holidays
My neighbor sings KTV all night
Wedding dinners never start on time
My hair

The Old Garden

Thanks to LW for extending the invite to me =)

Media screening last night was held at Cineleisure. Arrived early, walked around trying to find the counter to get my tickets.

The invite said screening starts at 7pm.

Was only at 6.50pm when the organisers arrived and setup the booth.

Got my tickets, went in to grab good seats since it was free seating.

No movie trailers while waiting for the movie to start. All we saw on the big screen up there, was one that says “Cathay wishes all a happy and prosperous new year” or something along that line. Boring wait.

Screening finally started at 7.20pm. Having watched the trailer and read a bit on the plot, I had quite high expectations of the show.

The storyline is about this guy who’s a revolutionist. Met an ex-revolutionist lady while he was on the run, and they fell in love. They lived together for a few months, he left to settle some revolutionary stuff. Sadly, he got caught by the police. Supposedly given a life sentence, he was released 16 yrs 8 months later. While searching for the lady, he discovered a “shocking” truth (That’s what the site said) . But I couldn’t sense any “shock” from the show. And it wasn’t much of a love story between the two as what I had expected it to be.

1hr 52mins is too draggy. Almost dozed off in the middle of the show, when there was about 1 min of black screen. Yes.. the black screen was part of the movie itself. But total darkness, without any dialogue, seems wrong.

I’d be a spoiler if I reveal what “shocking” truth it was, all I can say is, not worth watching if you don’t like revolutionary movies. There are quite a few disturbing scenes as well. Probably still worth renting of the DVD when it appears in the market.

the tensed environment

When a colleague popped by my desk this afternoon, she could sensed the tension around my workarea, where “uncle” xz is sitting.

The anxiety was about the same in every corner of the office.

Checking our bank accounts every few minutes..

Going down to the 2nd floor atm to check if $ is in..

Asking around if he/she has gotten their pay..

WHEN’S OUR PAY COMING IN?

And no.. “uncle” xz is not our finance guy lah.. just that he’s stressed out by the project he’s handling. lol. thus the tension around my workarea.

It had been a long week

Yes it had been a long week.

2 late nights within 4 days.  Rushing work. Getting up at normal timing the next day.

The whole week had just been work, work and more work.  Boy was I glad when I met my uni khakis for SCP dinner on Wed night. Missed them so much!

I’ve been declared broke, yes.. again! Till my claims are reimbursed..

Short entry for the week. I’m finally leaving office early. =)
