Tuesday = 3 more days left to Saturday.

Work's been pretty mind bogging. I am quite messed up with all the new info squeezing into my "grey storage space" every single minute. The working environment here is highly fast-paced with little time to even take a break. Which is good of course. That'll make me work proper and not result in slacking tactics. But I still wanna go back to school (duh).

I'm still under going training. And what's there to learn? You asked. A whole list of medical terminalogy, logistics, system learning, transmission of cases etc. Every morning I have to sit in with the doctors and nurses, the Medical Director and the Operation Manager. It's like a meeting but I have to report my cases to them infront of all the seniors and my direct supervisor. The whole senario is just like the english drama - ER.

F*STRESS CAN. =(

Stepping into the office everyday is like going to a workforce battle. I prep myself with "armours" and "weapons"...iron my clothes the night before, pack my bag (FYI, I change my bag everyday. Vain la. haha) and file my notes. I think this bloody job made me serious not only about my overall personal self.. the working environment kinda changed me for the better. I began to be conscious on not only my physical appearance to work ( bo pian. CBD area) but also improve my incapability on time management. For the record, I have been AWESOMELY punctual. Actually, I have to thank the ex who constantly drilled his "no lateness" quality inside my head. Oh, jia you for the exams :)

p/s: To my friends, give me grace lah hor when we hang out during my off days. hee. *grinz*

It is challenging and fun lah... sometimes you get to hear the doctor's advice to a patient and you get to do cases which involves sending an air ambulance to any part of the world for USD27,000 (hur hur. hell ex).

Ok, enough of ranting over work for the day. I can't wait for LABOUR DAY! Might have some plans with bunchie.

Right.

Need to get back to my medical cases. Lazy to check for grammatical errors.

Later. =)

p/p/s : I KEEP FORGETTING MY CARDIGAN/SHAWL/JACKET. URGH.

SHOUTOUT TO MY BFF.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING BESTIE. =)

Birthday dinner at a ching restaurant somewhere in CQ and then to Timbre (near Asian Civilization Museum) for part II of the mini celebration. Her primary school mates were such great company that it didn't take me long to blend in and bitch away. Anyway, I'm still much awed by the high-profiled Timbre. So wanna hang out there again. I dig livebands.

p/s : Babe, I know that the gift will come in "useful" (hehe).

p/p/s : I am officially a Pina Colado turned Mojito, Cranberry Vodka turned Whiskey Lime convert. My perfect poisons.

I popped by

Urgh. I'm getting all oxygen deprived after lunch and it's no good 'coz it's training week. THERE ARE TONS AND TONS of medical and insurance to learn lah.

Effing ice temperature here at the office. I forgot my cardigan again.

While MSN and Facebook is banned here, luckily there's still Gmail and Blogger.

OK,

back to lessons.

Hello.

Pretty much pissed with the bloggerdotcom. There were tons of other photos I wanted to upload but Safari screwed up on me as well.

Anyway, work's so far so good. My new colleagues are nice to get along with compared to DSTA but seriously, NOTHING beats working at Starhub. 

Those Haw Par days will forever be the best times ever in this life of mine:) 

I miss everyone and everything at Starhub Haw Par. From the janitor lady to the floor of the pantry to my favourite handicap toilet to my desks.. the cushion Theo made... the poolgames with Jeremy and Mark during the early days... online shopping with Theo...the meeting room covered with white paper... cute Lawrence..Xinlei's hot tea...me coming in late EVERYDAY...the long lunches full of excuses... the chalets... yummy CCF and SM... the OT dinners at "Sarawak"... all the birthday celebrations for everyone...signing and decorating cards.. collecting cash to share prezzies... the full screen MSN mass convos... teh tariks and McDonald's for breakfast... the countless post sticks used...GY aka My Ah Pa's freezed valentine roses and his "I should be a reporter" all-time classic joke... the laughters...Shifu's "GOD SEAT"... Xishi's pretty skirts and dresses... the KPO perm staffs who are forever creating new office politics... stupid Peter and his VIOS and his offbeat shades... the tap sound of the Starhub pass... the wet umbrellas congesting the passageway... all the funny nicknames given... the shortforms... not forgetting The Infamous Bitch Club... my last day in Starhub... all the group pictures taken (which are sadly not with me and I don't know how am I going to get them)... not forgetting lovely Wati...all the sweet memories... and a "love". 

I could go on and on about my life in Starhub. *pouts*

I'll tell you more about my job tomorrow. It's super late now and I need to catch Bus 25 at 7:45am.

Pictures over the weekends. Finally got to try Aston's again with Bunchie.


Aston's Express.

The couple enjoying their meal.


OH! I have to blog about this. Shifu drove the new Toyota-Altis. *coughs.* Shiok lah can throw away your old Nissan. Awesomely smooth ride and damn spacious behind. Touch screen radio head unit CAN~!!! Call me sua ku but it's the first time I've sat in a car with touch screen buttons. I was trying to purposely give him wrong info about this "FOG LIGHT" function but I reckon I made a good guess about the use of it. For foggy terrains lor. 

I can't wait to get my license. hee. =) 

p/s: damn lazy to check for errors now. off to lala land.

Rant-ism.

After almost a month of rest, I'm going back to the mad morning rush AGAIN.

This time, it's right smack in CBD. 

And I don't like that I have to dress up at 7am in the morning. Call it plain lazy but it REALLY IS a chore. urgh.

I JUST HAVE TO ENDURE THIS FOR ONE YEAR. 

KA CHING* $$$* KA CHING* $$$

Nights ya'll.

p/s : Damn the ulcer on my inner lips.

牽手



Two hands, clasped together,
Such a simple and innocent gesture,
That has such a deep and meaningful message.
Trust that the one given the hand will protect it.
A promise that the one taking the hand will keep it safe.

When a hand is rejected,
It leaves a slight nick in the rejected's heart
When a hand is offered,
It shows the given trust and love.

It's a quiet humble gesture
That can mean the world to someone

Two people holding hands,
What message is passing between them?

MV by Kenji 吳克群. Song untitled: 牽牽牽手 (Holding hands)



The MV tells the whole story.

**

That gush of emotions through my healing heart was beyond anything I have ever felt before. His hand emits not only warmth but a complete sense of security. All that I could remember was our hands held so tightly in our new love reunion and you, my dear, basking me into ultimate happiness...
 




















Alas, an image of a face I cannot put to picture. A dream so real, I can only smile.

p/s : Let me reminisce this sweet dream again. This time, in reality. =)

PAISEH LOR.



Need I say more about how fugly can a Singaporean get? Pathetic are both who engaged in the dumb fight and immature is the one who "kaypoh-ly" videocamed the hoo-ha which inevidently showcased his 3mins of barbaric behaviour to the whole world. 

Andrew Teo, 42, alleged employee of Mediacorp who quoted the wrong penal code and claimed he could engage a citizen arrest.The video started with Andrew Teo shouting, "What you tell me to fuck off ah?" 

I like the "chicken shit" part and how he used SM Goh's name to prove how much a citizen of Singapore he is.

Well, we never know who first started hurling verbal abuses. Nevertheless, they both got their "fame and glory" mah

SHAME ON BOTH OF YOU BEING SINGAPOREANS. UTTERLY DISGRACEFUL.

'Pain In The Brain'

I had a sleepless night thanks to this pulsating pain at the top right of my head. 

mi·graine    
n.   A severe recurring headache, usually affecting only one side of the head, characterized by sharp pain and often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances. 


It was horrible. The wretchedness of the whole nausea thing. Urgh. When I finally manage to get into deep sleep around 7am, my alarm sickeningly had to linggggggggg at 11am. I thought all the agony would be gone but as I opened my eyes, that pounding pain was still there. As always, when I start getting sickly, I'd complain to my mother. yea yea. Very mummy's girl. We searched all the possible places where panadol could be kept in the house but there was none left. How coincidence. Every time there is a need for something, it's ALWAYS either gone/missing/misplaced. I retreated back to my bed and tried to get to sleep. It was around noon by then. Freaking unearthly timing to fall asleep. The noise made by children after school, the darn school buses with the big wheels were like surround sound lah

Anyway, to cut story short, I finally found panadol hidden in my drawer. I don't know whether it's physcological or what but awhile after I consumed the medication, the pain alleviated. 

I just woke up awhile ago. Feeling a little lethargic due to the tossing and turning when the pain persisted. But it's all good. =)

And,I'm freaking hungry now. hur hur.

Emotions gush out of me whenever this song is played. Heart it ALOT.

Moi. Weird.

I don't know if it's the haze going on or is it my late nights but I'm kinda bumped out of good health this week. 

My stupid SE phone's on a strike. 

The kitchen's like my most favourite place to be in the house right now. I am on a bingefest and am totally not loving my body.

PMS. SULK. PMS. SULK. PMS. SULK.

I hate recruit express and their inefficieny. 

I want chocolates, marshmellows, chicken chop, prata etc.

I love the smell of fried omelette with onions. 

(smells the air again)

Ok I swear it's the haze. 

**
Anyway,

Here's this amazing young cutie from Korea who has a god-sent soulful voice. The song is called Confession 고해 ( from popular Kdrama- Lovers 연인). 

My No.1 FAVOURITE Korean love song. Enjoy.


And if you feel the song like I do ( I am such a sucker for anything passionate and romantic), hear it again. Recaps on the drama below. Yeap. All the awwwwww moments might make you wanna get the DVD.


Oh btw, the couple in the drama is together in REAL LIFE. Heard wedding bells rang last year in December. aww.

Ok!

Of Tabloids and Pretty Stuffs. 

HOLD YOUR HORSES/ELEPHANT TRUNKS/MANHOOD/"THANG"/INSERT WORD HERE.

32D OK.

WOAH. BOOBIES GALORE. 


Her name is Sufiah Yusof and she goes by the alias of Shilpa Lee. 
Her profession? A highly paid escort in the UK where she charges 130 pounds an hour and has sugar daddies at her beck and call. 
Her history? An Oxford undergrad (10years ago) at the age of 13. Yes. She is a child prodigy. 
Her full story here.

"I have men who are thrilled about my passion for mathematics. In fact one made me recite quations while he pleasured me, then I gave him oral sex while he chatted about algebra. It drove him wild," said Sufiah.

So before the act right, Sufiah can recite her *ahem* "sexy" line. 

"Sir,would you prefer me with a black-lacey bra? without bra? or me screaming algebra?"

WHAT THE HELL?

She reminds me of the infamous pornstar Annabel Chong

And they both have one thing in common : They are fucking(literally) brainiacs.

*

Seriously, what has the world got into? I was browsing the local tabloid (The NewPaper) these few days and I see er xin news all over the world. 

First, the Math genius shocking hooker story. And then? An incest case in Aussie turned the couple into household names after their story was unveiled on national TV.

Tell me, what's next? 

*

Anyway, more raunchy news ahead.

I'M JUST KIDDING ALRIGHT. CHILL.

It's me and my obsession with Topshop's lingerie. Everytime I step into Topshop, I am a pair of undies richer and $14 poorer.


Too cute to wear leh. How?

Anyway, while waiting for mummy to run her errands at Gardens, I decided to have my brunch at Aston's. Not only was Bestie raving about their menu, even as far as Choa Chu Kang(Shifu) have heard about this super famous western fare. I passed by their main outlet at Katong last year and was amused by the huge makan crowd. 

So, I ordered my BBQ-sauced chicken ( called Hickory Chix in the menu) with coleslaw and onion rings as a side and waited patiently to feed my hungry stomach.

After all the hype, I must admit, the Hickory Chix did not meet up to my expectations. It kinda "lost" to the scrumptious chicken chop set (super TV-famous too) I had at the Old Airport Road hawker a few days ago. Their(Old Airport Road) chicken chop was so yummlicious it still lingers in my tastebuds. Nevermind the cold, canned baked beans and fattening fries(I changed it to a sunny-side up). Aston's chicken chop (though tender) tasted like chicken satay in bigger chunks. I had to disguise the "satay taste" by dipping it together with the BBQ sauce. Erm, which was disappointingly salty and it gets "jerlak" after awhile. Still, I'd give credits to their home-made coleslaw. Quite tasty.


I wouldn't conclude Aston's as an over-rated deal as yet. I'd definitely go back to savour the rest of the menu (with friends of course). 

Check out Aston's blog here.

With my amateur photography skills, I shot this magnificent structure with twilight mode.


The Singapore National Museum. I would love to hang out there someday. 

Oh and how can I forget this pretty gesture from the sister. 

SO CHIO CAN. 





I just love ANYTHING starry. 

And the stars have gone to sleep awhile ago because it's 7am now.

Bonjour.

I was at the doctor's waiting to do a medical checkup (required by my new company) and heard this old song playing on the radio.

Nice. =)

Hold onto the night 
Hold onto the memories 
If only I could give you something more
Well, I think that I've been true to everybody else but me 
and the way I feel about you makes my heart long to be free 
Everytime I look into your eyes I'm helplessly aware 
That the someone ive been searching for is right there... 

- Richard Marx ( Hold On To The Night )

WHEN CAN I SKATE LIKE A PRO?


SUPER PRO RIGHT? 

And what does me a noob gets? Claps? IN MY DREAMS. 

THIS.

Yes. OUCH. PAIN. BLOOD. ER XIN. 

Inline skating is never an easy sport. Who said putting on your blades and gear and start balancing is as easy as pedaling a bicycle?

Damn hard CAN.  *cries*

I'm still at the greenhorn stage whereby falls and scratches are pretty common ( I think it's just me ). ALMOST EVERY TIME I BLADE, I FALL. Like, what the hell?

But but, I am a fighter. And I will fall a thousand times just to stand up again and learn to skate like a pro. wahahahhaa. Or maybe I should just bloody hell join the Skateline School and get my basics right first. 

Oh yah, for your info, I refuse to put on protective gears. It's fugly leh. 

I caught the new season of The Apprentice earlier on Channel 5. New season, new rules, new losers and new fighters. Awesome way to showcase the man-eat-man world out there in the harsh reality. I get super attentive when it comes to the bitch fights/ dude showdowns in the boardroom. And Donald Trump? Who doesn't want to work for him? Right right? 

Ok. Back to youtube-ing. =)

p/s: Happy happy 7th to darling bestie. *muacks* And when shall we celebrate our decade of friendship?

谁不希望生活会有所改变
可其实改变不知需要时间
有时候日子过的简单一点
未必不是一种愉快的体验

愁眉苦脸不如乐观一点
学会满足却更要挺起双肩

日晒雨淋总在所难免
微微一笑代替所有抱怨

I love this song! So close to the heart. Every single line of the lyrics. Live simply and feel totally awesome.

I've got the link to the episodes on tudou.com. Catch it if you missed it!


I totally dig local dramas these days. To update you frog dwellers out there, the current hit TV chinese drama - 一房半厅一水缸 (Literally "One Room, Half a Living Room, and a Water Basin) is filmed right at the heart of our sunny island. Like DUH.

Set in a block of government-rental HDB flats and revolves around its quirky occupants and a supposed million-dollar Chinese antique, this drama features characters and situations familiar to all, and is created by the same people who did the all-time favourite drama Holland Village. Stars Huang Wenyong, Chen Liping, Fiona Xie, Kang Chengxi, Li Yinzhu, Apple Hong, Adam Chen, Rayson Tan, Ong Ai Leng, Patricia Mok, Nelson Chia, Hong Huifang and the late MC King.

More about the drama on the official website.

If anyone is catching the show like I am, please do stay tuned to the last episode tonight! I can't wait for every truth to unfold. Was talking about the possibility of having a Part II to 一房半厅一水缸 to Shifu earlier on msn. I, on the other hand, am thinking of sending a "fan's suggestion email" to Mediacorp and tell them about my idea of a sequel. Anyway, Shifu's hooked to the show as much as I am and he's like ending his tuition on the dot at 8:30pm lah just to rush home for the finale. muahaha.

OH DARN.

It's freaking 5:45am and my hungry stomach is growling.



Foodie alert! Such a sumptous feast to my eyes when browsing Dr Leslie Tay's foodblog.

And yah.

I FREAKING WANNA EAT A RAMLY BURGER NOW!!!

Imagine the calories.

But fuck.

Who cares about calories when you crave for yummies?

I shall sleep to shut my tongue up.

Ciao.

Blues blah-ism.

I'm starting to feel like I'm a drifter in this dog-eat-dog society. Contract at the old company is up and thus I have been at home for the past week sending resumes. Basically my daily routine is : youtube-ing into wee hours of the morning and then rise and shine at unearthly timings like 3 in the afternoon. I'll take my shower, have my cranberry cereal for brunch and start on my TV marathon. I TV-surf from Ellen Degeneres to News 5 to my favourite local Chinese Drama at 9pm. You can say I'm kinda jobless now with only tuition being my main source of income. Also, I've not been hanging out with anyone since I got back from BKK besides meeting up with Bestie for coffee at gardens. Personal issues at home is turning me into hermit the crab(is there such a phrase?). I started growing lazy bones and am not replying smses/refusing to pick up unknown incoming calls.

It's horrifying to know that I do, in fact, enjoy this solitude. Fuckalingling . I re-read the whole chunk and I see a total loser in the making. *grunts* Well, get use to it. It's just one of my another eccentric personality.

Anyway, optimistic stuffs. =)

I went for an interview on Monday and the agent, who claims to be a head hunter (am still unsure of how did he get my contact. Don't recall sending my resume to any recruitment firm.) fixed me up for a 2nd round interview on Thursday with the HR director. It's a reputable listed foreign company and the office is right smack on the 17th floor of Odeon Towers. Yup, that's where The Loof ( a bar/chill out place) is located. Although I am not exactly happy with the working hours as the job requires me to do shift work, it all bogs down to $$$. I would say that the salary is substaintial enough for me to forgo my precious weekends. Now now, don't start pitying me alright. I know I've always been very true to my 'saturdays-die-die-also-won't-work' policy but as the adage goes : Money makes the world go round.

I'm ashamed to admit this. But it's true. Money now makes my little world go round.

I wouldn't go into gruesome details on why am I so hard up for ching-chings here on cyberspace though. To set the record straight, I ain't some cheap bitch who'll do anything for money(if you know what I mean). I'm thinking of the things I can do with money if I take up this job. I can pay off bills/debts and also help out with the finances at home. Right, you may proclaim me as a material girl but I like to see myself living comfortably with no monetary issues whatsoever. With extra extra savings, I would have more than 1K for BKK end of the year, feed my atas dream of owning a Chanel Classic, get my driving license and maybe even throw in a Nintendo Wii for Christmas'08. But of course, beside all these luxury stuffs, most importantly, my resolution for this year is to not be a poor undergrad.

I hope next year arrives soon. By then, everything will be ok. My worries will only be scoring As and how to top the cohord.

For now, I shall persevere.


Aza Aza Fighting! Fighting!!!

Boys may come and boys may go

And I am a material girl

I know cashing out on a midnight blue, satin sexy top in Topshop = my 4 weeks of $3 lunch.

But I LOVE IT LEH. HOW??? ( but I'm still hesitating! DAMN EX LAH. )



I cannot tell you how lovely this top is because the picture doesn't justify it's prettyness.

Oh,

My cute fat toes and my Reef beach sandals.

I love this.

A lot of girls are sexy

Aint it crazy how after all this time
We got that you hang up no you hang up kinda love
We got that you hang up no you hang up kinda love
