27 Dresses.

Went to watch 27 dresses today. It is a MUST-WATCH everyone. Touching.. Haha. Predictable but nevertheless heartwarming. Four stars from me. =D

Anyway went squash in the morning. As usual, first 15 minutes killed me. Yup.




Thats my racket with its new grip. =D Finally no more needing to bear the dirty black sediments on my hands. This was taken druing my " half time break". o.0




The wall's disgusting huh? Haha. Dosen't look as bad in real life. =.= What do you expect? Its like $3 an hour? Dirt cheap?



Thats the very empty court. If you were expecting like something out of the blue, like some posh resort style or what, sorry to disappoint you. XP

Anyway went for a swim after that. Did 1.5km. Which is like much less than before. Haha. Reason being the sun came out after that and for some particular reason I did not want to get my skinned more burnt than it already is. =x Bad excuse I know. Anyway there were lots of kids. School swimming programme I think. Disruptive to swim.

Oh and I realised that I am actually going to swim like 5 days this week. Is that hardworking or what? Like, I use to do that only when nats was coming and there was intensive training. Now I'm like doing it on my own? wow. Of course intensitiy's not there though. Still... Haha.

May be going back to Nestle to work. Depends on whether they still need me after CNY. Sorry Anvril. Really had plans already until chinese new year. =( Would love to go back this monday but can't. Ahh. Which also means that if I go back to work, I can only take my driving practical lessons at night, which is like peak hour prices. Ka ching ka ching. Man.

Anyway same thing tomorrow. Drop by Nestle before going for a swim at ITE Simei with the swimmers. Ivan said he would be there. He better be. Haha.

One more thing. Realised I haven't watched enchanted yet. Im like so into the soundtracks and completely forgot that I haven't watch the show. =.= Dumb right? Ha.

Finally. One more reminder that 27 dresses is a MUST WATCH! Night! =)

$50 Dollar Voucher on my table.

I know the title is totally random. Couldn't think of one that will be able to describe this blog entry fully. Haha. So yea, its true. There is a $50 dollar inline skates voucher on my table. Going to get a pair before it expires. =D

Anyway went back to Nestle today. It was like everyone I knew was coming out to see me. Haha. Funniest was Yizhen. She saw me, then gave the shock look. So I told her " didn't you know that my contract has been extended?" Then she was like very blur and asked " Its today meh?" I mean. haha. Was just joking with her and she actually took it seriously. Haha. Work too hard girl. Take a break.

So ya. Kelvin practically said, " feel free to walk around the office. Special privelleges for you only." Wow. Flattered. Especially when I still remember how he used to scold kit for allowing the contractors to walk into the office unattended. Haha. Do not know if its because I am an ex staff or because of my aunt's influence though. o.0 Either way, appreciate that Kelvin. Haha.

Too bad I did not have the time to stay longer in the office. Had to go for training. .actually walked from changi business park central 1 to ITE simei. Cool huh? Joined training. Lenard's lane ( slacking I know) Haha. Don't want to join the fast lane from the start and malu. =x

3.45km. Not bad. And I realised my sprints have deproved alot. Or at least I feel so. Got to know the new yr 2 girl who joined this year. Aileen if I am not wrong. Some of the year ones too. Pity most of them do not wish to stay in TJ. Had dinner with some of them. Then went home on a train with justin ( a year one) and his friend whom he met at the station. Shes kind of cute. Haha. Not my type though. Aww.

My sunburnt skin is still very painful. Wonder if I am going to have a sleepless night like yesterday. Practically was trying to prevent myself from turning around because it hurt and yet trying to change positions now and then because it was hot. o.0 fix huh?

Anyway going to watch 27 dresses with the swimmers tomorrow! ( year 3s I mean) At least thats the plan unless further notice. Looking forward to that. And also Arena on saturday night! NUs closed door party. haha. Time passes so slowly without work. Ahhh.. Miss working at Nestle. Hope Patsy needs her man soon. =D As in an assistant. Haha. Don't think too much. XP

Planning to go squash tomorrow. Drop by the pool for a light swim to relax and then to meet shu and the rest in the evening. Wonder how am I going to maintain such a lifestlye. Not that it is very taxing physically or mentally. But its taxing on my pockets. Booking of court $3. Mrt ride ($1.50 per ride.) Swimming entrance fees ($1). Plus food and drinks. And movies and arena. Wow. Going to spend all my salary soon. =(

But its all for a good cause. ( that I have to keep reminding myself XP) Alright. Going to sleep now. Come to think of it, I haven't heard Jay's new songs from the latest album yet. ( Not so new after all) Its being wasted in my cabinet. Yup that was totally random.


I Miss You.

First Driving Lesson

Yup. First driving lesson. And I went like... 4 rounds around the circuit. ( applaud please) haha. Felt great, pretty scary at the start, was just telling my mum that my right foot was on the brake most of the time while it was suppose to be on the accelerator because I was so afraid I might knock into someone else. =.=

Did alot of breaking point and stuff, turning, haha. The instructor was not very clear but pretty good because all the things he said got into my head. May be planning to cancel the lesson on the monday before chinese new year so that I can go back malaysia earlier to practise ( don't tell my mum =x)

Anyway went to play squash in the morning. Some of those people did not even book but since I am so nice, I actually paid $3 for them to turn on the lights and the fan. Ha. Was already so drained out in the first 15 minutes. After that practised my serve. I can serve well now! ( at least I think so) hahaha.Tiring.

After that went to the pool. Did a few laps. Not as tiring as yesterday. Maybe the intensity wasn't there. Not that I was going very fast yesterday either. =.= Anyway swam for 2 hours. 2.8km. Saw this bunch of malay super fat kids ( 3 of them) trying to tease a girl. Chikopeis.. Like swimming under her when she was swimming. Sick. Poor girl. Hence being the nice guy I was, I swam inbetween them and the girl and acted as if they were blocking my way. They had to give way. HA. =D Anyway. Just a reminder. Girls please do not go to YCK pool alone on a week day morning-afternoon. Very empty. And very dangerous if there are chikopeis like those people I met earlier. Not safe.

After a while those guys sort of realised that I knew what they were doing and decided to move to another corner of the pool. Ha. Effective. =) Oh and my sunburn just got worse. I mean, can you get sunburned while you are still sunburnt? I don't know. It seems to be hurting much more now and heat seems to radiate from my back. =s

Tomorrow will be break in the morning. Then to Nestle to drop by in the afternoon and then finally to join the swimmers at ITE simei. Swim again. o.0 I feel so hardworking. Haha. When I lie flat down on the floor I did not feel like I had the strength to sit up. Scary. o.0 So tired. Aching. Burning. Painful. But feels good at the same time. =D

Will be catching CSI miami on 5 later before sleeping. it is the episode that I missed the other time on AXN. Yeap I am a CSI miami fan. =)


Haven't seen her online in a long time. Heard she's sick. Ahh.. I wish I was there. =(

Getting the Momentum back.

Wow YCK was great! haha. Quiet, empty, practically had one whole lane to myself. Felt quite breathless at the start, but I think its coming back. Clocked 3km, nothing fantastic, got burned red like lobster, but it felt sooooo good!

Will be going back tomorrow. This time to book the squash court ( its also absolutely empty at lunch time) and after that drop by the pool for a swim. Other than the fact that we have to pay one dollar (adult fare) instead of children fare because the pool does not accept, and also that the shops are all closed and there ain't a place to get food nearby, its almost like resort-style. Good place for suntanning, exercising, and well, a few of the guys there were doing water gym exercises.

My whole body is hurting now, from the sunburn and also tired from the training. But feels good. Did not have the appetite for dinner though, and I am still unsure if it was due to the fact that I exercise so much today after a long time ( I lose my appetite after an exercise) or that I haven't gotten use to the new maid's style of cooking. Today was some sambal fish, which was very oily and, well, unappetizing.

Anyway, am so tired right now so will be going to rest, not before I catch the heroes on channel 5 though. =D So long. Can't wait for wednesday to come to go back to Nestle and gossip with my khakis! ha!


Girl please take care of yourself. Alot.

First Weekday in a Long Time Without Work

Yup, as the title goes. Feels wierd to wake up on a weekday and not have to go to work. Surprise surprise, recieved an sms from Kit this morning. Haha, going to call her some time soon to share the gossips. o.0

Anyway I have decided to go to Yio Chu Kang pool later for a swim, before deciding if I should go down to TJ to join them for training. The reason why I chose YCK is not because the pool there is fantastic or what ( I don't know actually) but because I want to check out the facilities they have there. Apparently, there seems to be a large number of things to do there, including tennis, and yes of course, squash.

I have been thinking all morning. Thinking about what has been happening to the friends around me, and the memories I had in the past. It is amazing how lasting the after-effects of a failed relationship are. It could even be longer than the period that two people were together. And regardless of how many times one says that he/she has moved on, it is often not the case and is but a way of comforting oneself. Yet in such instances, what else can we do? Try to salvage it? Live life in denial?

I personally feel there is no shortcut to the situation. It may take months, years and even forever to get over it, but regardless of how successful one is in decieving oneself that he/she no longer cares about it anymore, they will still be affected by what happens to the other party and what they say. Perhaps the best medicine is to be able to find another mate in life. That is the real meaning of moving on. For if one is able to open himself/herself to accept another being into one's life, it is an indication that he/she is no longer preoccupied with whoever was in their life. Confusing? yea. Precisely how I feel right now. Confused. It requires much depth, experience, to be able to walk away, smile at a beautiful memory, and pick up from where it was before. To understand such complexity of human thoughts and relationship requires strength, courage and knowledge that comes not from the theory of books but from the experiences of oneself, the hurt, the happiness, to build their own ability, to see through that life does not neccessarily consist of only one perfect fairytale that shatters, so fragile as the wind.

To the few and far between who have managed to live life of a fairytale, that is one love, one soul, forever, I appluad you. For those who haven't, that does not mean that life is no longer what one wants and desires. Wallow in the sorrows for as long as you need to, but always remember that one day you will be able to stand up and met someone better. To move on as such is not to let go of the past, but to build upon it, to accept once more. To know that past is past and present is what happens now, and that future, no one knows.

Take comfort in the friends that stand by you to encourage and to accompany you through joruneys of high and low, ups and downs, to learn and move on in life. Trust in the heavens and fate that regardless of how bad the fall, you will one day gain the courage to stand up and face greater pleasures, the rainbow after the rain.

As for now, let it be now and no longer so tomorrow. As I always believe, you are no longer the same man you are today tomorrow, the lessons and knwledge and intelligence gained from living one more day will make you the different person you are tomorrow. That is how people change. You see things from different perspectives, match it with your ambitions, and finally realise that it is not worth to hold on to anything that is already lost and gone.

Let every failed relationship be a lesson that builds to a greater one in the next, all the way until you find the very one, the very one you can trust upon, the one fate has in store for you.

Dubious people.

Well, its been two days since I updated. Just thought that I should share this experience with all you people out there.

By the way, this happened on friday, just a short while after I submitted my previous post. There was this lady who was clearly not local ( claimed to be Mongolian) that came right up to the Nestle reception counter and said:

"I want to see your business corporates"

at least that was what I thought she said. She was mumbling so softly and I had to restrain myself from saying " WHAT?" and instead say " I beg your pardon" I believe that should Kit be around, she would most probably ignore her, but it was like, I was the only one at the deserted reception desk, and she was the only one, coupled with the fact that it was exceptionally quiet, that made it very weird to ignore her.

So anyway, she repeated and claimed that she wanted to do business with Nestle. It is the first time in one and a half months that I had to entertain a walk in purchaser, and I had to be all alone! So I told her the standard reply that the group in charge were out for team building and I asked her to call the main line on monday so that I (or Kit) could direct her to the correct personnel involved. But she did not want to leave! Said what she came from Mongolia, dosen't have a local line, and wants to speak to our marketing managers regarding the purchase.

I had no choice but to ask her to wait while I dashed in to ask Sharon how to deal with the situation. Apparently, she just asked me to get a name card and tell her that we will contact her on Monday regarding the matters. That was what I did and she actually told me she did not have a name card and was buying bulk for personal consumption. So I told her to call back on Monday for consumer services, but she refused to leave!

Kept asking if there was any brochures and prices and products. So I told her this was a sales office and we do not deal directly with purchasers here. Still didn't want to leave! So I told her that regardless of what she wanted to do, she had to call in and either talk to the correct department or make an appointment with the correct personnel. She just stood there and did not want to leave. Clearly, she was fustrated, but no way did I care. She was the unreasonable one in the first place, did not even want to leave a name or contact number, and wanted infomation. After that she said she wanted to export to Mongolia, where she had a company ( oh now she had a company) and refused to call in on monday. Kept asking about our international distribution. I mean, how in the world am I supposed to know that. I swear I should have given her our Switzerland main office number. hahaha.

Anyway finally thanks to Jeraldine and her punky I-Don't-Care-Bo-Chap attitude, the lady finally left. Million thanks! Tell you what I wanted to do. I seriously wanted to call security and make them drag her out ( sighting that she did not have a visitor pass). Two obstacles though, firstly I did not know the number of the security desk downstairs and secondly, the security guard looked like old ragged thin-to-the-bone old men and women and I doubt that they could do anything as much to drag that lady out. =.=

But it was interesting. Haha, and directly after that, all the people from inside came out and started asking what happened. Haha, thanks to all those who helped me deal with that dubious persistent lady. =)

Anyway, that was my last day, am sure going to miss those nice colleagues over there. Well, may go back sometime to visit them and I seriously hope anvril gets me a job there again. =D

The weekends had been a blur. Wake up, eat, sleep. Yes, been sleeping alot for who knows what reason. Its like Im catching up on all the sleep that I loss during my period of work. Felt tired and bored at home. Ahh, thats only two days. Imgaine whats in stall- two and a half months!! zzz.. May decide to go back Segamat earlier for Chinese New Year before my parents so at least there is somewhere else to go, too bad my uncle cannot take days off to go in with me.

Oh ya, most probably planning to go Mount Kinabalu with him too. After new year, around Feburary. =D See the scenery. Haha, will bring the camera he gave me, plus his own super expensive new camera and his new lenses. Will be an interesting trip. Look forward to it. =)

Feel like playing squash tommorow. May go to Yio Chu Kang. The racket has been sitting in the cupboard collecting dust ever since I bought it. =.= After that may go for a swim before going down to Temasek for gym training with the swimmers. Haha. And first practical lesson on tuesday! (driving) I think I mentioned it in the previous post but yea! hahaha. Excited about it.

One more thing, my piano is finally fixed, tune and ready to go! =D Now I need to find new pieces that I love so that I can figure them out on the piano. Getting real bored of the old ones already. =x

Saw glendon online yesterday. Most probably very shag and was ill, hence he was out of camp. Lucky dude. Went in tonight again. He said it was managable, not tiring till crazy. however he said they were very busy and practically had no personal free time. o.0 Oh and they stripped and assembled a rifle already! cool! hahaha. Hope he copes well in there.

Anyway, haven't really seen many people online. Suechee sent me the remants of the prom pictures on saturday and I have been editting them ever since. Ahh, I want to talk to so many people. Please appear online soon. haha.



it hurts me to see how affected you still are by what he does. Hope you do fine.
