I’m back from Taiwan for a week already! It was freezing over there. Like 4 aircons on full power following you around. I will blog more with photos over the weekend!

I always forgot what websites i want to visit when i get home, remembering them when i’m at work. This is so frustrating. I need some supplements to boost my memory.
The older i get, the more i shun away from people.
I think there’s a curse in our office, the curse of single. Lol. You see, we designers and programmers are seated in a ‘cluster’, all facing a blank wall like classroom style. And it so happens that everyone sitting there is single, 7 girls and 1 guy. 3 have already hit their 30s while 5 of us are in our 20s. But the rest of the company are happily attached.
So do you think it’s a curse? Or are we not attractive enough? Hahaha..
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes…
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We’ll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower’s daughter
The pupil in denial
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes off of you
I can’t take my eyes…
Eyes…
Oh, did I say
That I loathe you?
Did I say
That I want to leave it all behind?
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind off of you
I can’t take my mind…
My mind
My mind…
Till I find somebody new

I love this song! Heard it for the first time from 超級星光大道 where 倪安東 sang this song. I think 倪安東 sings better. Here’s a video of him singing this song. Enjoy.

Btw, today’s my chinese birthday so have to eat mee sua, but my mum went malaysia to attend wedding dinner so i was left to cook my own mee sua. Turns out i overestimated the mee sua and cooked double portion!
So i had a really full dinner cos i managed to finish all of it! Haha!
Lesson learnt #1: Mee Sua multiplies in water.
Lesson learnt #2: Looks are deceiving. Same goes for mee sua.
To all my friends, especially bestie, i dedicate this song back to you!
Although it will be more touching if the guy/girl you like dedicate/sing this song to you, but me as a friend is also not too bad right! Haha.. Enjoy the song!

Here I Am
Leona Lewis
This is a crazy world
These can be lonely times
It’s hard to know who’s on your side
Most of the time
Who can you really trust
Who do you really know
Is there anybody out there
Who can make you feel less alone
Some times you just can’t make it on your own
If you need a place where you can run
If you need a shoulder to cry on
I’ll always be your friend
When you need some shelter from the rain
When you need a healer for your pain
I will be there time and time again
When you need someone to love you
Here I am, hmmm
If you have broken dreams
Just lay them all on me
I’ll be the one who understands
So take my hand
If you reach emptyness
You know I’ll do my best
To fill you up with all the love
That I can show someone
I promise you you’ll never walk alone
Well if you need a place where you can run
If you need a shoulder to cry on
I’ll always be your friend
When you need some shelter from the rain
When you need a healer for your pain
I will be there time and time again
When you need someone to love you
Here I am, oooo
Everybody needs somebody who
keep a heart and soul in two
Well if you need a place where you can run
If you need a shoulder to cry on
I’ll always be your friend
When you need some shelter from the rain
When you need a healer for your pain
I will be there time and time again
When you need someone to love you
Here I am, Here I am
But i dont know should i be happy or sad about it. Lol.
I know i havent blogged in a long time, it’s actually a plan to get more privacy here. =D
So i celebrated my birthday one week early, at Aloha Loyang. It was great! People who i didnt expect to turn up, turned up! Words cant describe how i felt! But i’m positive about this, I LOVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
Not to forget, the surprise flowers at work! Minze and Renard! LOL!
Alright, here are some photos!

There are lots more photos, but limited disk space. So this is it!
Although i had a blasting pre-birthday celebration, the actual day was very very quiet. I slept till noon, had brunch with my mum, came home and spent the rest of the day with family.
Dont know why, i’ve lost the feel to blog lately. Maybe it’s the limited time i have at home.
Hmmm.. Let’s go back to 2 weeks ago. My uncle from the US came to singapore for a short holiday with his wife and 4 kids. The 4 kids are cute, but the cutest is the youngest one!
He’s so OMG freaking cute!
My uncle and his wife is chinese but dont know why their kids all look like ang moh. Maybe cos they are born in US? Lol..
Cute eh? I miss him so much! No chance of seeing him unless i fly to USA!
Here’s everyone, my grandma, uncle and his wife, US uncle and his family, his sister and son, me and my mum, and my mum is carrying baby Ryan.

Now most of my days are spent working and working. Except for weekends, where i have Korean lessons together with Rena! 안녕하세요! (It means “Hello”)
Just this monday i witness 2 minor but dangerous accidents.
One is while i was waiting to cross the road, a motorcycle skidded on his right turn. It was just like what they show on tv, but hundred times more shocking to see it real life. But luckily the motorcyclist was alright. Seeing this discouraged me a little in considering to take motorcycle license. Hahaha..
Two is after the first accident, i was on the escalator down to the Mrt. I was reaching the bottom when an old lady 2 ppl in front of me fell down on her back. I dont know how that happen but i just jumped to the side and everyone was so panicky. Luckily again, someone pulled her up before there was a jam on the escalator.
Phew~
Oh and also, last saturday after our korean lesson, me and rena went to toilet and was the last to take the lift down. When we reached the lift, we heard someone pressed the lift alarm and we saw our korean teacher trapped in the lift! OMG! So i ran downstairs while rena standby upstairs. Then i went up with the CC person to help open the lift.
Initially i tried to pull open the lift doors while the CC person turn the key but i not enough strength ah. So we changed places and finally the door opened. Lucky lucky.
*****
I think i’m blogging like i’m writing a composition. Hmmm..
Life … is full of regrets … but we just have to live with it.
Finally, i shall end with one last photo of Bryden poking Lulu. He likes to poke, pull Lulu’s ear and skin and hit her head like basketball, but Lulu just very quietly sit there let him do those. Lol.
Since i started working i dont have much time to sleep and watch tv, let alone blog.
Let’s see, after i started working, the first happening thing i remember should be our company bowling event. We went to Mount Faber Safra and there’s a competition for us too. Four ppl to a group, the first prize is 2 Gold Class tickets each, second is $50 Taka voucher each, and lastly is $20 Take voucher each.
My group didnt get into the finals but it was still fun cos i quite like to bowl and best thing was we bowled during office hours! =]
I’ll update this post with the photos soon!
*****
I dont have a very good memory, so i forgot what else happened after that.
But i do remember what i did on friday. Hahaha..
Me, mindy and sihui went to Rena’s house for steamboat! Poor Mindy have to OT until 11pm then reach Rena’s house. We had joy, we had fun … gossiping! As we dont have that much energy to tahan until next morning, we all went home at 3+am. Haha..
*****
Yesterday, i met up with sihui, jason, choon kiat, leong wei and edmund at punggol park to chill. We reached there at 6+pm then dilly dally until 8+ then we called for bill. While waiting for leong wei, we went to the playground and play. Lol. We played the swing, then after that the kid in us kicked in and we played “Crocodile”. Hahaha..
After that when leong is reaching we went back to the cafe to drink. We were deciding where to go next, sihui’s house or kopitiam, when edmund say he can drive his dad’s car!
So we went to clarke quay cos leong and jason got this secret place where nobody else knows. We bought our drinks and headed to this secret place. I tell you, the place has a very nice view of clarke quay! It’s really WOW.
I’ll not post any pictures cos this secret place cannot be disclosed. Only we know! Muahahaha..
For our June monthly affair, we went to Pulau Ubin.
We met at 9am (!), then took the ferry to the island. The first thing to do is to rent a bicycle ($7)! Too long never cycle so started abit wobbly.
The whole morning we cycled around some parts of the island, like Chek Jawa and beaches. Halfway thru, my sports shoe’s sole came off! Too long never wear already! =[ So tahan until reach the town area then bought a cheap but ugly slipper to wear.
Throughout the trip we saw wild boar, rabbits, lotus, sunflower, spider, durians, crabs, prawns, puppies and the thing that made me very happy upon seeing it was COKE! It was so hot the whole day even though it rained abit.
We had lunch at one of the seafood shops then headed off to one last beach before going home. The beach was quite small but there were 6 puppies living there! They are so unbelievably cute that we spent quite some time just looking at them. Hahaha..
At the end of everything, we all went home with full bodyache and pain in the ass. Lol. But it was fun!
I just started working! One week already! Finally found a job after so long. But it’s quite far, at Tiong Bahru. Have to travel one hour there.
Still need some time to get use to working cos i’m so tired when i get home everyday!
*****
Yesterday went to watch fireworks at yishun with mindy, sihui and jason. It’s the closing for arts festival. The fireworks is WOW! It’s pratically surrounding you and you have to turn in circles to see everything and so close too!
Will post the photos soon!
*****
For the first time in dont know how long, my sms did not exceed 400, so didnt make use of the unlimited sms.
Hmm.. i think i need more friends?
*****
My effing ex-boss still haven give me the rest of my March pay yet. Asshole. Keep delay and delay. Friday he asked me for my account number. I checked and he only transfered half. And i have to ask him how much he transfered then he tell me have to wait next week for the rest cos some of his cheques haven clear yet. Dont know what stupid cheques need so long to clear. And dont know how they be bosses with no money. $900 only have to drag for months. Asssssss.
Last Friday went out with Rena to PS cos she have to use up the remaining amount in the Dorothy Perkins Gift Card we got for her last year. We had dinner at Waraku Casual Dining which was quite satisfying cos i finally had fresh salmon sashimi after craving it for so long. Our main course was also delicious and the bowl is so big! I know i’m abit mountain tortoise ah.. Hahaha.. Btw, i cut my hair, and now the natural curls shows, making me look mature. =[
After everything we felt that it was too early to go home as it was a Friday night and 10+ only! But we couldnt think of what to do so we took a train back first. I alighted with her at Sembawang to discuss the plans for the following day when Ah Min called, saying that she's coming to Chong Pang with her guy and friends for supper.
So i went home to get the car and drove down to wait for them. The guys had nasi lemak and then we went for Tau Huay and egg tarts down the road.
After not meeting Ah Min for quite some time, she is still as funny as ever. What are we going to do without you Ah Min! LOL.
Drove rena back then reached home at 2+am but slept at 5am. Hahaha..
*****
Saturday, me and rena woke up quite late, then dilly dally here and there discussing where to go. Then Ah Min msged. After several smses and 1+ hours later, we headed down to PS again to meet Ah Min for dinner. We queued for Astons and dinner with the same group of people again.
Then we bought tickets for The International at 11.30pm. Since there was quite some time till 11.30, we hanged around Ben&Jerry. The guys were enjoying the live singing while we 3 were entertaining ourselves with Bingo and drawing. Each of us will take turns to name an object or person and draw out quickly, then see if we drew the same thing.
Sadly, it turns out i have a very different perspective of things. LOL.
The International sucks! Dont ever watch it! I blanked out in the middle of the show cos it was really slow with lots of conversation and lost what the movie was about. So i busied myself with checking whether Rena and Ah Min fell asleep. Hahaha..
After that took the night rider home with Rena and boy, what a long, tiring, hot walk to the somerset bus stop from The Cathay! Reached home at 3+am and somehow played Restaurant City until 4+am. Lol.
*****
So that concludes my boring life!
Recently i have been listening to a few old songs like 天天想你[张雨生]，他不爱我[莫文尉]， 最熟悉的陌生人[萧亚轩] etc.. And so far these two are my favourite!
