wala's again..

so i left off yday sayin i had to zip off to wala's. met a friend there lucky we made it in time to get a decent table and seats. its crazy the band starts at ard 10 and by 9 all the seats are taken up and if u cant find seats my advice wld be juz to leave and find somewhere else unless u can survive standing for the rest of the night. another thing is the time they end their 1 for 1 is at 9 maybe thats y the bloody crowd packs in early.. duhhhHh.

so i had my usual 2 rounds of hoegaarden. i juz wish they have the big 750ml bottles back soon. its much more worth it then drinkin the 330ml bottles now. bleh! jill suggested to have wings and i was like cool since i havent had it in a long time. but we had a difficult time finishin it off. therefore im impressed with ah ho cuz she can wipe out the wings.. *pukes*

skinny chummy dropped by with her moley guy friend. haha :P lucky i was guarding the 2 extra stools i had. haha. kept telling her not to go st james cuz she's been there almost every wk i think for abt a month already although she says its only been 2 wks. tsk. then they ordered another portion of wings which made me sick even by looking at it. ohh ohh another thing chummy and i kept thinkin back abt that 1 time smally chummy was with us at wala's. think that was the fun-nest time we had at wala's. cuz there was ah ho, her friend (which skinny chummy brought up yday and we realised we didnt rem her name, hee.. sorry!), skinny and smally chummy, taxi door and myself. hope we can do it sometime again!

oh darn its back to work tmr... *sigh* dread the work but am looking forward to see smally chummy... missed her on friday. wonder if she has stuff to update me on for friday cuz i wasnt at work? hmmmms....

moving on from mid to late twenties... *groans*

so here i am past a quarter of a century old.. have nothing to my name nor a career to boast about. this totally sucks. am i being struck by the mid-life crisis? when u realised u've been in this world for so fricking long yet u have yet to acheive anything? actually i dun really care... let me juz lead my life a day at a time.

so moving on.... oh i mentioned in my previous entry that i'd talk abt the pressies i rcvd. chummy skinny & smally, aw, tg, al & crabbie shared to get me a new wallet. cuz chummy smally asked me wad i wanted and i told her i needed a new wallet. my old money clippy wallet was dying on me. so she said that they cant afford a mont blanc becuz over budget which i was totally cool abt it. as long as they dun get me some funny-lookin, odd-coloured wallet. ended up they got me a mont blanc!!! then i was askin chummy smally isnt it over budget then she said she'd top up the rest! *sniffs* so touched. then norain sprung me a surprise too. i came back from a site inspection and found a box of chocs on my table with a lil note from norain and she came by shortly after to gimme a big hug! so sweet right??! then grace and michelle presented me with another $150 mont blanc vchr cuz i told them i wanted a name card holder. haha now i will have a full range of mont blanc stuff. wallet, namecard holder, key pouch and a pen but in an ugly green. cant complain tho. heh



got back from batam this morning. had a good massage there, it felt so good. fell asleep while tanning and jumped up when the heat finally got to me and now my face+nose hurts like hell. it was like my most interesting trip to batam. made 2 new friends while i was there. we got to know the f&b mgr who used to work in sg and we made friends with a fellow diner while having dinner by the teppanyaki grill.. we were like the only patrons there cuz it was like the rest of the ppl stayin in the hotel decided to have buffet and it was very noisy. we had to waste some money to eat teppanyaki to get away from the crowd. think the dinner check muz've came up to abt $200 cuz we had quite alot of warm sake. ended up this new friend we made insisted he settle the bill for us. he's a damn interesting guy. born in sg, studied in us, living in hkg but works all over the place. he's into shippin, marine engin so happened that he docked his ship for repairs in batam. he left us his namecard and mobile number so that if we ever go to hkg we can give him a call and he'd bring us ard. so nice right? but we shld nv be so trusting towards ppl...



ok thats abt all i need to get ready for wala's.... cheerios!

this was supposed to be yday's blog entry

on our way back from work last night in chummy's car last night she was saying she'd be blogging abt one of our sales ppl whom during morning meeting pronounced warner brothers as warner blooders. hahaha. i almost wanted to die and chummy thought she was the only one who realised it when there i was hard trying hard to contain my laughter and not burst out laughin like an idiot.

then i told chums i wld blog abt another colleague that we have who's a fortune teller??! she knows the future...! when she reads the morning reports instead of reading it as last night's figures or last night's no shows she reads it as the present day's figures! and mind u she has been corrected before.... and to think she's a SSM... dear dear me. fake bitch.

so yday i rcvd a rare call.. from emily. she ordered me to go ktv with the rest of the FO ppl. feelin ok i decided to go.. think it was a bad move. stayed on till ard 5. had abit to drink and found out something abt my buddy that left me abit disappointed. felt that the situation cld be handled a lil better? but oh wells.. its not fair to pass judgement like that cuz when u're caught in a situation like that urself u'd not be able to think very well too. -shrugs- hope she gets past this in the nicest way possible and also to all the parties involved.

and so i woke up late even tho nick gave me a wuc on time cuz i went back to sleep. got up at like 845 and i was like oh shit! then i started puking and had abit of diarrhoea, felt weak and wobbly all over yet i still decided to go to work cuz i had alot of work left off from the day before. didnt manage to do much but didnt wanna take mc also cuz kept feeling its only a few more hrs to endure... boy was i wrong. it was damn painful waitin till 640. left on the dot! and here i am back home blogging. alrights i shall head off to bed. really have alot of work to finish up tmr.... gd nights to all....

shall blog abt the 1st bday pressie i rcvd this yr in my next entry..........~<|:o)

that used to be my playground..

was chatting with ah yin earlier this afternoon sometime after lunch.. cuz i was feeling sleepy and didnt wanna work too hard on a monday cuz theres still like 4 long days to go before the workweek ends. BAH! its a bloody torturous cycle...

anyways as i was saying i was chattin with ah yin and she was apologising to me for having abruptly ending a conversation we were having the night before cuz she was at work and needed to log off to prepare for the electricity shut off, they call it something like high tension shut down? some crap that they do every now and then to test that all our backup resources are intact juz in case something really happens. then we started reminiscing abt the old times.....

how it used to be so fun going thru all those crap with our buddies. it really makes alot of difference working with the ppl u like and get along with. and so ah yin was saying she remembered the previous time she was on night shift on high tension shut down together with nick.. i remember i was also ever on midnight once on hi tension but i cant remember who i was working with, muz've been someone who didnt matter much! ha. but well i remember those times when i was on shift and fidelio was like down for the whole morning.. i was on shift with jasper and both of us had to redo all our checkout transactions which was like a whole fricking drawer full. and also there was once we had waitboxes all the way till like 9pm. that was my longest morning shift, it ended at ard 11pm. that was when shimin was still ard and jean herself was monitoring the rm situation.

that was all good fun. its sad that such history will never repeat itself. i muz say all that groomed us into the talented ppl that we all are now! the present kiddos have a long way to go before they'd ever be like us. *evil grin* lol

oh another thing.. chummy was being irritating today. bleh! last thursday while we were at suntec walkin ard after lunch i told her i felt like buying a 'lil piggy' to munch on. u know those lil cute thangs in a plastic basket that they sell during mid-autumn festival? she refused to lemme buy it cuz i was already munchin on a pretzel and having my honey green pearl tea. she went to buy like 6 'BIG PIGGIES' during the weekend and she refused to let me share it with anyone else. its like punishment to me for being greedy?! all i wanted was a lil bit of my childhood.. *sniffs* and the worst thing is the big piggies didnt even come in the cute baskets, that was the whole point of eating that fuckin piece of flour?! and now i still have like 4 big piggies to go...... *groans*

but chummy no matter how u torture me.. im still glad for having u ard. sounds abit sadist eh? but really, i dunno wad i'd be without u ard. i need uuuuuuuuuu.. to answer my silly qns abt work, to send me home after work!, to have lunch and fetch water tog with me, to listen to me sing all the weird songs that ppl dun normally sing(n u actually know the songs too!), to pek zao with, to listen to me ngam ngam cham cham only to have me rebutt u that u gg yy and most importantly to slap my back to my senses when i lose track of where im headin towards... thank u. i love u. *muah!*

and it comes tumbling down..

ever had the feeling that everything seems to be finally moving on fine for you? after so long.. after all the shit u had been put thru. its like u finally get to see the sunshine after braving the rain... but all thats not meant to be. u juz need 1 little setback to bring u back to where u started off from. when others say life is very fragile im beginning to think that happiness is very fragile too. theres only a very thin line that seperates happiness from sadness. and with that 1 little setback i've been kicked back into the region of sadness and darkness.

chummy u are right. i didnt need that person back in my life. it was a mistake to even let that person creep back into my life. and so now im suffering the repercussions of my dumbness. this time i really want out... and nothing more to do with that person...

and here i am again building up my new defences and having to work towards being happy... its sucha chore.

"How do I, say goodbye, to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh, always come back,
I thought we'd get, to see forever,
But forever's gone away,"

Good riddance i might say?

guest appearance...

headed back to wala's again yday.. its like a weekly affair thingy. but i really prefer sitting down having a few drinks and a live band to keep u entertained rather than going clubbing... feel im too old for clubbing. it makes my body ache a whole lot for the next few days and it leaves my ears buzzing for the next day which is highly irritating.

and i had the company of 2 girls.. 1 of which that has disappeared for like the longest time. it was nice meeting her again. =) im gonna post a pic of them which i took last night even tho i know 1 of them will come after my blood cuz she looks white in the pic... aiya its juz the flash and cuz u have make up on but bear doesnt :P




well... hope we'd have many more outings of such before bear disappears again? cheerios!

soon to be smoke free?

its been 2 days since i last took a puff. think its been easier this time as compared to all my previous attempts, its not really considered as attempts because i really did stop smoking for quite some time before succumbing back into the habit again. i remember clearly i used to suffer from horrible withdrawal symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, feeling lousy the whole day and every little thing that went wrong would make me 'snap' and was just easily irritated. now i suffer from none of those but instead i have alot of craving for different kinds of food and im perpetually looking for stuff to snack on. abit like how pregnant woman behave? although im not quite sure cuz i havent really been through pregnancy??

u all muz be thinking y i've suddenly decided to quit smoking? honestly im not quite sure myself i juz thought its about time i stopped or i'd never get down to doing it? i find it amazing myself that im finally beginning to think straight? haha. it really takes massive amt of determination in not succumbing to temptation. picking up a ciggie is really easy but try having a ciggie put in front of u and not having to pick it up... its like HELL.

so now the plan is to quit smoking altogether. and smally chummy stop smoking in front of me, its abt time u quit too! dun gimme the crap abt quitting next yr! *faints* after i stop smoking and which by then i'd have put on hell lotta weight becuz of the snacking, i will need to start planning a regular exercise regime. that is of course provided if i keep to it! well if i can quit smoking i dont see y i cant be determined to lose all the excess baggage! pls wish me luck..
