School school school.

Its really hard to get myself moving. Its like getting to start an engine tt hasnt been running for quite time. hmph. Realli need a lot of motivation and determination to get myself on those tutorials and lectures I have missed. Phew. so much to do. so little time. Plus.. to learn those drawings for pgc by next month. bleh. double stressed.

Uncle Seetoh has left Exxon. Last day was on monday. lotsa nice and gd memories these last few days. I have plenty of pics. but have to wait for ariffin to send me the pics. hehex.

I can feel myself moving into another phase of my life. lotsa new changes to my environment.. I believe.. I will try to survive...

I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me.

ok, I am almost giving up blogger. At least till I found another host and set up all the relevant stuff. hmph. Sickening.. anyway, my entries are so boring nowdays tt they arent worth reading anymore. Just some rantings of my messy heart.

2 night shifts. Nowdays, Its nice to have someone to do my post with me. :)My new trainee is quite nice, and hardworking. So I tink it doesnt take long for him to noe more den I do. Tues night was a very busy one with impt jobs and all.
Uncle was with me the whole night..cos of major jobs. and i am glad to squeeze a little more knowledge out of his 10 yr experience in this cracker unit. :):):):)

Work nowdays.. despite me complaining all day abt ppl leaving.. but the new ppl are fun!more youngster in the team now... shall upload the pics of team dinner if blogger ever permits me to. haha..

My determination is slightly swayed already... I still have another 6 yrs to go..4 yrs of course and 2 yr bond after completion.

School has been fine, flooded and confused by all the trignometry functions. Well, it takes time for me get back on track to noe what I am doing.Now tt we have sch, I have chance to meet up with Celine more often..

Lots of thoughts flooding in me. Yet dont noe who to spit it too. haven been having quality time with friends. Sumtimes when i feel like talking to someone.. I stared at my phone and no one came to my mind. And those tt i approached, are just entertaining me out of gd will.. at least this is how i felt.

2009-08-08T00:54:00.011+08:00

ok! some updates for my Genting trip, with Joonchye,Siewling,Shiqi,Elwin and gf.. and also.. lifen joining us in the midst of it..

Overall..the trip was great. I played stuff I would never imagine myself playing. Went to casino.. tho lost like 20ringit. lolx.. but still its an unforgettable trip. Slacking till midnight. having KFC in the middle of the night.. Laughing over JC getting sunburnt in genting. and.. over.. the melted icecream. Not to mention trying to scream while playing the rides.. trying to scream. but unable to! lolx. pressure pressure supressing. haha..
Slack, Eat and play whole day. Lived like a king! hahaha..

Started off at Bukit Panjiang Plaza..

I totally love the bus seat. And I guess.. I was the only one who fell asleep on the comfy chair.We arrived at 3am. So we slacked here and there. till like the next day 12 plus.. and u can see all our faces.. Super shagged! Left our luggages in Lifen's room...

This is the super ex and unnice wanton mee. I miss the $2.50 wanton mee we order for weekends.
Camwhore in the room. not a lot.. haha..

Outdoor!!!! Themepark.the weather is totally so loveable.

I like this one! rollercoaster!
and i hate this one. swirl and swirl. make me giddy only

I like this! :)
Up and down...

We went for the Haunted adventure. went in in twos. Had a gd laugh. cos Jc was shocked by a hand. haha.. He was v brave initally. so i tagged on his jacket... whilst shiqi tagged siewling.

Then, we went for foot reflexology.. at Healing touch. comfy comfy..:)

Oh, I think food at Causeway Bay is nice. :) tho its realli quite.. ex..

Great getaway..

2009-08-05T23:10:00.000+08:00

wow. what's with blogger. cant upload pics AGAIN. totally sickening.

I'm not in the right mood or mode now. Haven been slping enough for few days.
cant slp properly last night. Seems like there was a lot on my mind.Went to work today like a walking zombie with panda eyes. How nice. *shrugs*

Was hit by a bad news when i came in on tues. ok, someone important to me tendered his resignation letter. Someone impt.. My dearest uncle seetoh..
ok, i call him uncle not cos he is old. but cos he like to call mi auntie. I agree that we have to give him our best blessings since he found somewhere else,
for a better future. Nevertheless, I dont noe how i can put my feelings into simple words. I just.. broke down and cried tt day. ok, i admit I was behaving a bit off norm by crying like tt. but can someone just put urself in my shoes...

When my mentor left me.. he said.. nvm lar clar. u still have barry, alwee and Seetoh mah.. and he went to team 2
Then Alwee was transferrd to Ic&t.. Nvm lar clar. U still have barry and Seetoh mah..
and Now barry is in console... and barry said.. nvm lar. outside still have seetoh mah...

Do u like get the picture y am i exactly so sad..? I do get attached to ppl v easily.

ok, like what ariffin says. One person's lost is another person's gain.

I'm feeling so sick now. Flu, headache and sore throat. or mayb morale's low. feeling v sick. I just feel like having a gd slp.. tt i can dont wake up. unless needed to.

2009-08-03T12:15:00.001+08:00

Back from Genting! hmmph..Wanted to blog abt the trip. but.. i guess I suddenly lost tt mood.

People come and go. But I am keeping my fingers cross that it nt that someone I thought. Sometimes when I feel that I am left alone, I am always glad I have him. If he is gone too.. all my motivation will taken away too. So I am praying hard till I know the real ans.

ok, I am sprouting some nonsense tt i need to get off my mind.

School starts today! I am so nervous abt it.

Mood swings like roller coaster. =.= So up and down.

I really miss all my friends. WHEn will someone organise an outing.. haha.. and not wait for mi and bixia.. So disappointing. :P

2009-07-29T14:35:00.000+08:00

It seems to me that blogger always have some problems. Right now, this new post page looks pretty funny again and I cant seem to locate any icon that says, "upload picture." wth.
I thought of changing.. but it did occurred to me that might not even have any time for blogs anymore in the next coming few months. or even YEARS.

School offically starts on 3rd August. Lessons will be scheduled on mon, wed and fri. Packed.. with work schedule. and Gym sessions.

Priority goes to studies and work. I gotta start to schedule for driving soon too. Wow.. sucha long list of stuff waiting for me. Well, I would say.. at least for now, I knoe where I am heeding in life. All is gd and well at work. despite the fact that barry's not ard in the field with me anymore. i lost my.. "sense of security" but it gave me a chance to be more independent and responsible for the things i do. Moreover, have to start learning new post. Shahul already started.. and here i am, still slacking away. Yusof has a newborn girl.. :) So I did OT in team 2 yesterday. my first ot in other teams.:) ok, i hope for more ot to come, if i can do it. Keeping busy is gd, it makes me forget things that I dont want to remember. I hate it when my mind is empty and random sad thoughts starts to fill my mind. Everyone says I am an optimistic girl. The secret behind it is to try to fill in gd thoughts so that my little capacity mind has no more space for sad stuff. Sounds pretty simple right?

I managed to talk Celine and Pema to sign up for the standard chartered marathon, 10km this year. hahaha. Gotta start to train for it soon. My sis and her 2 besties joining with us too. Time to get those feets moving. :) Some of my team ppl are signing up for the full marathon and they were laughing tt i only took the 10km run. Well, I still insis on my stand that.. I should start from the minimum! lolx...

Will be heeding to Genting tmr night with the exxon peeps. :) I'm looking forward to it! haha. gossip sessions, casino and outdoor themeparks.. :)

2009-07-19T15:47:00.009+08:00

Woohoo. i'm back.. with some long overdued pics.

I cant rem the scquence. so its all random! :)

All is well and gd at work. At least for the moment. Adjusting towards juggling work and studies soon. Some changes coming my way. I have tt 'left all alone' feeling again. *sigh* I dont have a choice, do I? hmmm.Anyway, I have a new trainee tech following me now. Experienced tech from celanese. Well, it does feel weird having someone to follow me. There were contractors teasing me that.. I used to tag barry. now upgrade alr, someone is following me. haha.. It feels pretty funny when I see someone new come in. totally new to the plant. It makes me think back the first day i was here. and how my mentors taught mi and drilled me with qns.. plus bluffing me to believe certain ridiculous stuff that i think only I will believe.

We had a team dinner at 3Monkeys, orchard tower. Food was so so. But it beats going to Indian restaurant. ;) hahaha.. There was a stage there.. with a live band. To further liven things up, one of my teammate went up and sang 2 indian songs for us.

Deciding what to eat...

That's ariffin. :)

My dearest uncle seetoh:)

from left, Barry, Winston and Yigui. Sad to say, winston and Yigui gg to leave the team too. Being posted for other duties. =.=

From left, Kenneth, Uncle Ee( the eldest in e team) and winston

tt's like.. the.. indian grp. The one on the right in black is my supervisor.

Enjoyable dinner. But, I think they would appreciate the outside seats more. ;)

Oh ya.. just at random.. I permed my hair! hahaha.. it was a sudden decision. So far... i think..its pretty manageable.. just tt.. it definitely requires more time to take care of the curls.

Some family pics..

Ziqian is so cute. hahaha.. Always make my day with his lively smile. well, he can laugh nonstop for the whole day. He is very gd at speaking now, talk and talk and talk. He stayed over at my house on friday, cos the bro was in the hospital. Vomiting.. *shakes head* whole family falling sick. When kids fall sick, parents suffer.

haha... this was taken during our last hangout for dinner.. dre so bushuang.

me and pema while waiting for lester.. late king.

going nus with celine later. for the matriculation exercise. Sch sch sch... here i come! :)

Mummy and val went malacca for 2 days.. hmmph. I see a lot of things lying ard waiting for me to put them back in place.

2009-07-05T19:36:00.005+08:00

i am Back! :) and blogger sucks cos I am unable to post any pics..

Life after turnaround has been gd.. haha..

Shopped with Mummy( Last friday), val and bro last week in town. GSS! i love retail therapy. hahaha..

Last off day(tuesday).. Watched Ghosts of girlfriends' past with Mike..Before that was lunch at.. some sandwich store at PS. And seriously.. the Hot english mustard sucks! its seriously worse den wasabi. The movie was funny, I would give it 3.5 out of 5. After movie was massage.. at kenko. It feels gd to be pampered. :) hahaha..

The next day was gym.. and then watched Transformer with my siblings. I watched the 1st part with them too... hahaha.. I totally love the movie. :) Bubblebee rawks. lolx.. and megan fox is damn hot. ( ok, i noe tt sounds weird coming from a girl... )

After movie, we rushed home.. cos the deliveryman is bringing Wii! after much persuasion.. My parents gave in and tada! we have a new game.. :) From what I see, my dad is a lot more addicted than anyone else.

Now is the durian season... so been having lotsa of it.. and I cant seem to get enuff of it! hahaha.. So sinful.. And to add on, Exxon is gd at making ppl grow fat. There was a fruit party that day. with lotsa durians, rambutans, lychees, cherries, prunes... etc etc.

Worked night on Thurs and Fri.So far. it's very peaceful.. And sad to say, some of the team members are gg to be transferred to some interconnecting unit.. wth.. I hate it when ppl are transferred and its happening everywhere! sigh* anyway, I was saying ever since Elvie went away, I have tried to make myself immuned to ppl leaving.. However, it did set me thinking, what if one day.. Barry or Seetoh leaves too.. den life at work will be so boring.I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Had an individual talk with my sup again.. I've already gotten my study grant for part time studies in NUS, Chemical engineering. Woohoo.. Back to sch. Well, I have real mixed feelings over this. It just feel so lethargic to be gg back to sch again. With all my off and rest days packed and busy.. All the maths formulas and chemical equations. Sometimes I ponder over my own decision.. Is this what I really want? Why do i study for? become and engineer?
Since young, I know I wasnt that born smart type like some of my friends are. I was only lucky that I am not the stupid type either. And I was just a little more willingly to work hard. willing..I guessed i did not have much of a choice? My results have nv been fantastic.. just average.. I only want to give it a try and at the end of the 4 yrs, I am able to face myself without any regrets. 4 yrs of studies.. its gg to take a lot of hardwork, determination, self motivation and encouragement to keep going. I am sooo glad Celine is doing this with me.. :)

Yesterday( saturday ), Met up with Dre, Les, Jason and Pema for dinner. :):):) the rest couldnt make it.. so its a small grp thingy.. and I would sae.. I miss them so much!! hahaha..Working life.. makes gathering so difficult.. Just a simple dinner at long John silver's, with plenty of SZZA stuff and laughters.. esp dre's handsome friend pics.

Sunday.. Its been so long since I last went for the sunday gym classes.. And it feels gd to be gg back there. :) I constantly have ppl ard me.. giving me advices and encouragement abt weight management. ok, sensitive issue. hmph. Advices on what to do and what to eat.. and encouragement abt how abt slim will make me feel. All are apppreciated. ok, I hope.. there will come a day where I look into the mirror and smile.

After gym.. I went to take a walk at Novena.. There was a charity event gg on there.. for Singapore Cancer Founation.. and ppl were donating their hair. Well, This might seem normal.. But It really did amaze me that.. many ladies went for it too. So there were a lot of 'botaks' walking around in Novena.. and even in the Ladies. Somehow, It made me feel that these people look more gorgeous den ever even without their hair. Because of their kindness and love for others. This is beauty from within. I was pretty motivated by them.. but I really do not have to courage to walk aound hairlessly. hahaha..
On my way home, I saw ppl giving up their seats to elderly in the train.. It made my sunday very beautiful cos.. I realized Singaporeans are still a kind lot. :)

2009-06-21T16:17:00.006+08:00

I'm back!....

I'm free again!... cos.. TURNAROUND 2009 is officially.. OVER!!!

yeayea. today is my rest day.. FINALLY after 11 working days.came back for extra 2 days.. because of start up. It wasnt just tt my sup asked me to go back on my off day. I was a willing party too. Cos I didnt want to miss any part of start up.

this is going to be a super long entry. I wanna blog this down. so that I will remember this whenever i look back at my blog.

Its been a gd 48 days. I would say, I've learnt so much things in this 1 and a half mth. From the very start, connecting lots of hydrocarbon hoses for the cold box solvent wash. Shutting down the plant safely.. Liquid draining.. to hc freeing. Every process is a learning experience. mechanical phrase.. I worked with so many contractors. From gd and reliable ones from PEC.. to super jialat ones from HL and HS. I have some of them to thank.. for guiding me.. cos they are more familiarise with the job than I am. For those who took me for a little kid, they didnt have an easy life with me either.. hahaha..

Getting the equipments back, putting them back to service, working with engineers whom I have nv seen before.. I am glad everyone gave me a chance to learn.. esp for the compressor side. I just do accordingly. sumtimes I dont even noe why i am doing that. but they bother to explain to me.

Combination of team 2 and 3.. different working styles and ppl with diff personalities. So crowded during lunch time..having not enough seats to go about. Although it was quite obvious that the group were segregated at times.. into malay kampong, little India and Chinatown. but it was fun and lively.

whatever it is.. I am going to feel that the shelter is going to be pretty empty for quite some time.

Normally ppl only have one mentor to guide them. I am very blessed. cos I have 2.. Barry and elvie. Especially when elvie went to team 2.. it made me miss him a lot more.
Now that turnard is over, everything's going to be back to normal.. So i only get to see elvie only once a week. one thing for sure.. I believe dis turnard did make our bond stronger. :)

We had a 'celebration' dinner last thurs.. cos product on specs. :) I was caught in the middle if want to follow the crowd( with elvie, winston, siewling) and go for indian food at Anjapa. or to follow the chinese to beer garden ( mengsang, Barry, Jc..etc) ..
In the end, i followed the crowd.. and i was pretty elated to see liuwei and my dear uncle seetoh there. haha.. indian food. all curry and spicy food. I like spicy lar. but I personally think.. Sakuntala is better. at the end of the day, it become .. a twisted story.. that i chose elvie over barry. hahaha..
Indian Food!
This is my dearest qing ai de mentor, Elvie..

Here are some random pictures..
top 2 are sleepy eyes.. after only getting 5 hrs of slp everyday
oh ya! this was the green snake we caught at tankfarm.. A snake in a bottle.
last week, met up with Jac, shiyun, Jess and Ailian for dinner at vivo.. haha.. dinedine at Kim gary. Korean restaurant. food was alright.. had a long and gd chat. Its nice to hear updates from sec sch friends. To think shiyun is getting engaged.. and jess is applying for flat. haha.. i was telling them I will be asking my mum to prepare a big shelf for me..
This is jessica's 'fav'. hahaha.. Super thick margarine on a super thick toast bread.
DO not order this. lolx. it was meant to be an appetitiser. But somehow it made us.. lose our appetite.
this is the super big bowl noodles I shared with Jacintha.

I love meetups like this:0

Ok, went to grandma hse last last week..

My grown up Ah qian..Now he can sing and dance. and my questions in english too.
As bad as ever.

And.. happy Birthday ah ma! haha.. just a simple cake.. with all the grandchildren and children ard.

Shall update again.. SOON! :)

2009-06-11T23:21:00.002+08:00

woohoo!

its been soo long since i last blog. decided to log in a short short and random entry..

Work work work everyday. hahaha..

but learning lotsa stuff.. and..

Turnard is being delayed for a week... and so.. one more week of hectic morning shift.. with the scorching sun. not forgetting.. one more precious week of work.. with elvie... not forgetting the rest of the team 2 peeps.

the feeling is coming back again!! to get used to the days without elvie.. :(

i just wanna exclaim this.. My mentor is still super nice and cute! hahaha..

ok ok.. i guess it was a little too busy today. and i got all hyper and jumpy becos of one stupid bleeder. and so.. hahaha.. tt explains the tone of this entry!

gotta turn in before i become a panda tmr. tata!

2009-05-23T12:00:00.002+08:00

TOday is my off day!!! yay.. a well deserved sat off! :)

Plans for the day. rot int he morning.. and. shopped in the noon. going to my grandma house at night. Woke up damn earrrllly.. like 8 plus. :( supposed to go and jog. but i was too.. laid back.

dis was taken a week ago. on my way back home. I never got sick of the night view in jurong island. All the lightings and flare.. makes the island a very special and pretty one. and yar. by the way, tt was our flare.. during shutdown.

ok, i noe this pic doesnt show u how pretty it is. lolx.

Dis is my dearest mummy with her flowers and cake.

ol, i concluded that. most ladies like roses. ( most.. ) :P

Moral has been very low of late.. I was tempted to take mc on few occasions.. as I felt tt. my presence doesnt make any difference. in short, i wasnt of much help. I was more affected when yusof seems to noe everything.. and kept telling mi that he will settle this and that, and asked mi not to disturb. Perhaps he didnt mean it that way. but it sounded that way. And.. for tt.. i realli miss shahul loads loads. there are ppl who just put u down with words. i wouldnt say its his fault.. I was just simply angry at myself. For being not as tactful. i've been always a careless soul. forgotting to check upstream and downstream of stuff. Self reflections done.

Many instances, I have been nagging and complaining abt my own sup. But well, tt was just for work. I still tink he is a man with a kind heart..well, there is always a gd side of everyone. my mentors have been realli great. haha.. these are the ppl whom u can realli rely on to make things safe.

2009-05-20T23:12:00.002+08:00

back from work.

I am getting quite used and sick of this routine.15 hrs outside everyday. altho time passes very fast during work.. but the time left before slping time is like.. damn limited. So this entry is squeezed in.. cos i needed to let out some stuff off the chest. and i dont know who can i talk to.

it got pretty sad when turnard starts and meet ups with friends become so rare. As a matter of fact, yes, i really miss my friends. everyone. those tt i promised a lunch or dinner date, like meiyin, shuzheng, eve etc.

it made mi pretty happy to recieve random msges from friends.. like celine asking if i am still alive and kicking.. and also pema.. telling me abt the crocs sales. For a moment when i checked my phone after work, it did made me feel better that well, someone remembered me. :)

Work has been hectic. lotsa permits everyday. Tuesday was the busiest. just mi barry and elvie for my post. with hundreds of permits. I mean it, a gd 100 plus. Tho busy, but i was a happy busy girl.
Now that we are already half way thru the turnaround, many times.. when I look at the way ppl work.. I tend to look back at myself.. and i would start to think.. if i can really survive in this kind of environment for a few more years to come. I always recieve questions from other department, asking why I want to be an operation technician. In others, I see the weakness in myself. Sometimes I really cant help thinking if my optimism can get me thru.

Like i always say, I draw energy from people. its always the people who kept me going.

work aside.

monday was my off day.
3and.. it was.. a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY for siewling!
Watched Angels and demons with travis. well, i haven seen this guy for like 3 yrs. hahaha..
the movie.. was.. great. i like it a lot. :):) den dinedine at ajisen.

2009-05-12T22:49:00.003+08:00

i'm back again.. with a small and short post.

firstly,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! to my dearerst mummy...

i was working on sunday, so I bought her a cake and 3 stalks of roses on my way home on sat. And i guessed.. we did surprised her. loveloves. :)..

shall upload pics when i am free.

Work has been.. interesting, and tiring. its very different from the normal routine stuff tt we do. its like putting the whole plant in another mode, and that makes it behave differently.

Like i have mentioned in the previous entry, for turnaround, I get to work with my dearest mentor, elvie!!! hahaha.. I used to make him cofy when he was still in team 3. And so.. i did the same thing now too. tt made lotsa ppl 'jealous'. thinking what did he do to me previously that made me so...'guai'.

the very 1st day of turnard, my mentor said to me.. clar, u must be careful ok.. now its different.. always think before u do anything, work safely ok.. .. .... etc etc. Den he said..one last thing, always rem.. when u do leak check.. ... rem to open the snoop solution cover ok.. "

lol.. ok.. now i am a big joke. cos i did some stupid thing like spraying soap solution without opening the cover.

To me, its a pretty challenging period.. trying to adapt to things in a faster pace. Sometimes, when i look at people around me.. I know my weakness point. =.= I needed that extra encouragement from people.. and tt little more confidence to make me a better technician.
Anyway, this turnaround is a gd period to have a deeper and better understanding of people. All the problems seem to be surfacing one by one. A gd leader can bring abt a gd team... and what can i say is that.. I miss my step up a lot. ;) (despite the fact tt he always auntie auntie me.. ) but i least i noe where i was heeding towards.. and how we can do things in a simpler and efficient way.

things tt makes TA a pretty miserable one:
indecisive head
lunch
walking ( i realli miss my bicycle loads)
lotsa cunning contractors who thinks i am a blur

things tt makes TA an enjoyable one.. so far:
my forever superman
elvie,siewling,jc,lifen,winston etc.
learning new things everyday
exercising really a lot
operating and seeing things tt we dont normally see

well.. so far so gd. still enduring. :)

i believe. we must enjoy what we do. yay..

and.. to end this entry.. i've been v touched.. by my siblings. haha.. esp my sis. coming home after a long and tiring day.. and sore feet.. she prepared a warm pail of water for mi to soak my legs. and also massaged them. my bro bringing mi tea when i asked him too. hahaha..

little things tt touched. :)

2009-05-06T23:52:00.003+08:00

TA has just started.. from sat.

3 days morning. yesterday off. and today start of my 6 days straight.

one reason i like TA. its a 2 teams together thing, so I get to see ppl whom i dont usually get to see. like lifen, siewling, Jc and my dearest mentor, elvie.

one reason i dislike abt TA. is the walking. no bicycles.. so walk and walk and walk. wth.

Had fun the past few days. learn new things too.

let me pray each day to be a safe and happy day for everyone.. and.. lesser bruises for mi to bring home each day.

2009-04-27T11:42:00.005+08:00

ok, I am feeling so lazy..

Here are some photos taken for the past one week..

Birthday Celebration for my collegues...my dear stepup, Uncle Seetoh, my console Kishor and ah bung Alwee.

This is strawberry cake from The Royals. yummylicious.. I dont have a liking for strawberry stuff. but this one is nice. hearthearts.

Anyway, if they know I am going to post their pics here.. I think I will get scoldings for sure. esp from the uncle. lolx.

well, like I've said in my previous entry, Work has been busy busy. Mayb because turnaround is just around the corner. Permits are piling up like crazy. I think the plant knows we are going to give it up soon, and so.. it is throwing tandrums already. hahaha. ok, just a silly analogy of my part. To me, it doesnt matter busy or slack.. what's important is the process of doing it. :)

Anyway, time passes by so fast! This coming May will mark my first yr at Exxon! :) WOw wow wow. hahaha... ok, I've gotten quite used to the life here. I noe I can do things independently now. As a female tech, there are many things that made things difficult to get by. Well, still trying to blend in better. hahaha..

It always amaze me how long guys can talk abt CARS. Day and night. Perhaps today talk abt the specs, tmr talk abt the COE, the next day talk abt the engine, the colour, the modification.. so on and so on. hahaha...if not, soccer, fishing,.. I am not complaining. it's gd knowledge. :) well, its a male domainated environment.

As much as I dont want to admit, there is still a big gap between guys and girls. :)

ok, casting work aside.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off days were spent on.. Gym,shopping for presents.

Watched 17 Again with Valent on wed.

oh man. he is damn cute. hahaha.. I like the story line. hmph. Many times, we will exclaim.. If only we can go back to the past.. We can change things, and perhaps the future will be diff. But.. given a 2nd chance, are u confident that u can really do it better. or will u make the same decision again.

Saturday.
Met up with the darlings at Raffles City. DineDine at Out of the Pan.

Pics are still with the 2. :) hahaha.. nice to catch up. talk and shopped. Viv bought royce strawberry choc.. and treated me one. Awww... sinful but niceeeeee...

ok, tt's all for now.

Have you ever have that feeling, even when u are surrounded by people, you feel that u are alone? its like everyone else besides u are talking, their lips moving away, but u might not understand what they are talking about or even bother to noe what they are talking about?

Have you ever felt like talking to someone and.. u got hang up by 3 people in a row?

ok. it's the emo-ness again. sigh. =.=

On a lighter note..

Work has been fine today. SUPER busy and some little upset.. But happily busy. its like warming up for TA. with lotsa permits. Sometimes I like work like that. It makes time go very fast. I like gg ard issuing permits and all. And I guess I made barry puke blood again today. Snoop Snoop. haha.. If i were to write a bk abt the stupid things I do everyday, I require a thick one. And anyway, I'm glad i always have my superman. everyday is a new learning experience. :)

2009-04-16T23:59:00.005+08:00

Let me blog abt how my day went ysd.

So 'interesting'...

I woke up when i heard my dad's voice. And tt implied.. I was alr late.i woke up at 6.30am... hahaha.. I accidentally off the alarm mode on my phone. So i left house in abt 5-10 mins.

ok, here it comes.. the blur part.

I chased after the bus.. boarded the bus, den realized... I din bring my wallet, ez link card.. So I called daddy to bring it out for me.

I had to chase tt 715 company bus if i wanted to be.. not tt late. lolx. so i ran... and.. yar. I got on the bus. ANd even if so.. i was the late to do so. Unfortunately, the bus was nicely packed. so there was no seat for me. The uncle told me politely that I need to wait for the next bus, cos no standing was allowed on the bus.

Whilst waiting.. ... .... I realized.. that i left my strawberry pouch on my dining table.. and tt implicts that.. I forgot my jurong island pass. *shakes head* its like.. 2nd time alr? So i had no choice but to call Console and said i will be late lor. hahaha.. Talked to Seetoh, and as usual.. my step up.. being soooo nice.. asked me to take my time. late jiu late le. dont rush. hahaha.. well, tt made me feel much better actually.

At the checkpt. the quene to change the temporary pass.. was like pretty long. I had no choice but to wait.. and by then, all the day buses were gone. So.. while waiting, I saw Zeng geng. bixia was on leave. I reached shelter at like 830am? haha.. my sup didnt say anything. :) and seetoh only smiled.

It rained for the whole morning. cat 1 all the way..

and well.. After work, I actually asked barry to send me to Checkpt to collect my IC and return the temp card. but sumhow. his wife was delayed in the lab. And so.. I took Seetoh's car instead. this.. "uncle" sumtimes really v v cute de( ok lar, he is not tt old. but becos he kept calling me auntie.. tt's y i also call him uncle) for the whole day.. he helped me quite a no. of times. be it on field.. or even paperwork wise... he also make mi feel.. all the 'issues' can be solved.

Met up with Lifen after work at cwp. Had Swens for dinner. hahaha.. Once I stepped in, saw adi, taufiq, may and amreet. hahaha.. Well, i missed that place like lots lots!!! just some catchup with lifen. :):) and she bought me nice nice dark chocs. hahaha.. Girlfriend May was MOD with sir Billy, and so.. we got like 2 Mango Lychee and 1 Macademia mania sundae.
Saw Ah Shiung.. steve and a few others. :):)

SUper sinful sundae made by tianhwee.

Well, I thot tt was the end of my blur day.. tada! when i wanted to take bus home.. Den i realize.. i lost my ezlink card.. AGAIN. wth.. tt was the 3rd ezlink card of the week.

bleh.

2009-04-16T11:39:00.006+08:00

the one above is from valent.. and the one below.. was from mine.. hahaha..I hated my bro and sis. becos they broke my hairband. hahaha.. tt realli made myself laugh.

I had tt mickey mouse bk.. full of Max's name.. sonia's, tina's and the other one abt Swensens and.. some sad stuff during the sec 4 yrs. It made me reflect on myself. when i was teen. hahaha.. I guessed I was a pretty irritating one. hahaha..

Dinner with my Max.. at tao's. i haven seen him for a yr since he came back from korea. Initially it felt pretty weird. haha.. but I got pretty comfortable with it after a while. well, this is someone whom i used to see and talk to almost everyday during my sec 3 and 4 time. And I was surprised to see Pinkoon there. Well, its been so long since i last met him. haha.. and becos of that. we got like one extra dish.. hahaha.. nice nice. i like the set :)

Meet up with sec sch friends for steamboat dinner ( novena) and chilling session last last fri. ( Junjie, Kenny, Tengfei, Weekiat, Jac, Tina, Ailian) woohoo.. I would say.. this is the bunch of ppl.. I spend my teens yrs with. hahaha.. the original 2/4 peeps. hahaha. Dinner was full of laughter. Laughing at the salty fish lookalike stingray.. and.. creating lotsa nonsense abt Ailian's Fetish. haha.. We heeded clarke quay after dinner. Settled at Brewerks. Den continued our session at mac. Loveloves. :)

Whilst trying to get a grp pic. with JunJie's excellent skills. haha.. tt was my hand on tina's face.. since i noe i cant fit into the pic. hahahaha..

I personally like this expression of tengfei's.

work ysd was gr8. hahaha.. cos it kept me very occupied. since I stepped into the shelter.. till handover. :) I am not a saddist ok. but. time passed faster that way. Moreover, my console was outside ysd. they got ot to cover him, so that he can come outside and familiarise with the plant before turnard. And I would say, its gd learning experience for me. cos I learn things that console takes note of from inside. :) haha..

This morning was fun! haha. cos i onli had 5 mins to have a sonic quick shower, grab my stuff and run for the bus.. and my dear girl was back for OT... So.. lifen acc me.. haha.. ran with me.. and send me out. hahaha.. :)

work last night was alright. Turnard is coming. and its kinda making me nervous, excited,anticipating and.. increase in stress level. with all the overloading info. adding on with my inexperience, and clumsy hands on. I am trying to figure out.. how can i survive this turnard. Some are very encouraging... its ok tt we dont know. we all learn. at the same time, with ppl trying to bring u down. I would say it takes a lot of motivation and positive thinking to keep it going. Well, to keep that positive attitude.. I admit there are too many things tt I dont know, but I can learn. I believe I can. :) tt's what keeps me going.

My com is finally back. Got the acer ppl to come and take a look. and oh my godness.. my whole mother board is spoilt. and needs to be replaced. Thank god its still under warranty. :)

Its been so long since we talked. He said some stuff.. tt made mi pretty touched. In a way, I suddenly feel very.. 'loved'. I've always wanted a elder brother. But since nature dont permit me to have one.. haha.. there's 2 guys out there. who sees mi like a little sis.. haha. I personally dont like all this god sis godbro stuff. But i do apppreciate the care and concern i am recieving from the 2 'kors'. lolx. :)

2009-03-01T16:26:00.003+08:00

=.=

Its weekend! and i've been slacking away..

the past one week was pretty alright. tied up with work and trainings on off days. To a certain point that. my mind only have stuff abt work work and work. ok. abt people at work.

Some minor changes at work. people going in to console, peopl coming out. i am adapting. I really am. basically. at work. i'm a happy new tech. still learning. lotsa funny things in the team. PC113, people calling me auntie.. laughing at barry and his bai ka. Perhaps all the minor minor stuff. But I think.. sometimes.. we have to be positive and make the best of everything.

training on tues. at Traders Hotel. About safe operations training. Basically something like.. erm.. Industrial safety. with lotsa incidents pictures and people talking abt their experiences. Its interesting to listen to them. I was pretty awake during the training. My team members were saying.. If i scare, I can still change job now. haha. After training, barry sent mi and Yigui back to jurong pt. Saw the beautiful preeetttyyy rainbow. :):) I wish I can see a rainbow everyday. hahaha..

Anyway.... I am feeling so sian right now.
its a sunday! everyone seems to be busy with their stuff. and I am damn bored at home.. Alr went gym yesterday. tt's y decided to skip gym today.
I haven been seeing the peeps for quite some time. and as what i always sae... no one seems to want to take initiative for gatherings. or is it.. just me missing the people. anyway, i noe.. weekends. everyone is busy accompanying boyfriend.. and girlfriends..

fine fine fine. i'm just bored. and just want to rant rant rant. bleh.

2009-02-20T17:26:00.006+08:00

well well well...

Just on fri.. 6th Feb I think.
Went Gym for bodycombat. Den meet Celine to shop at town. :)
Had Dingtaifung for dinner. Den searched for her vday present.

Spend the weekend working. Morning shift.
I like to work morning. Altho I have to wake up earlier and face the morning sun. Its only morning shift that more things are happening, and I can learn more things. I am also more inspired to do line tracing. haha.. Well.. Seems like I have given back a lot of stuff to the lecturers, and the cptc trainers. Sad to say, I seem to have a pretty short term memory. I do not learn things and remember them for life. I need a refresher every now and then. I tink right now, if u put me thru any module of my diploma.. I will learn to appreciate it more and better. I wished I had listen more to ms ler for thermodynamics. to mr yong more abt petrochem processes, to allen liew more of fluid and mechanics, mr Ng for CEP, mr quek abt process variable and control and mr goh for the industrial safety.

Went for TSP training on the 10th feb at Marina Mandarin hotel. Trg was pretty fun.. to me.. haha... Tested our stress level. and.. yupyups! I can manage my stress.. in an excellent condition.. :):)

Went to meet Pema after trg. for dinner. Also to purchase Jieying' super late bday present. haha..DineDine at secret recipe. She had her pasta and I had my choc cake. pema's treat! haha. I was still full from my marina mandarin lunch buffet. had a great chat, talk and bitch at stuff. :)

Night shift for 12th and 13th FEb.

14th Feb like the previous post says.. was just another day. haha.. it kind of like brought back some memories. abt last yr. hmph.

went for bodypump and bodylicious with viv and J. haha.. Its been so long since i went for classes. :) went to Jurong pt to look for mummy to have lunch. SUbway subway.. haha.. subway rocks. hahaha.. Only managed to get a book.. its been some time since i read a story bk. wanna get back to reading. :)

shall update soon ar.

2009-02-14T12:02:00.002+08:00

Happy Valentine's to everyone!

Show love to love ones.. and be loved.. :)

Well well well.. I just got back from night shift. I was on leave ysd. So only 1 night shift. haha.. :)
Shahul has gone back to india.. So I am kinda missing him. But nevertheless, I have my companion, Barry. haha.. Found someone in my team whom I can really click with. haha.. Someone who helped me a lot.. and someone whom I dare to confide in. I was actually pretty affected by something that someone else said. And after some talking and thinking, I managed to talk myself to not think abt it, as it is just some round table gossips among some people. Shouldnt let these minor words affect me. :)

We put one of a drier on regen, and in doing so.. we open 3 big valves. and it made me feel like i've just finished GYM! hahaha.. phew!

Gotta catch some quality sleep now. haha..

I miss everyone tho. :)

2009-01-26T23:56:00.003+08:00

Happy New year to all.

I hope.. this yr will bring prosperity, luck and good health to everyone.

I am not celebrating Chinese new yr this yr. Sad to say, my grandpa just passed away on Fri, 23th Jan in the morning. So I was busy at the wake for 2 days. We sent him off yesterday morning at mandai crematorium. Well, I was my first visit there. Cos my paternal grandma and my aunt were both buried. I can't help feeling very fascinated by the technology and facilities there, accommodating to the needs of the public. Very clean, comfy and efficient.

Last Wednesday,21st Jan, I took my certification test. All was well for the test. I did my questions and my mentor, LV was in for day training. In fact, I was pretty touched that he did pop in during his short breaks to look through my papers and talk to me and all. well, i didn't say i love my mentor for nth. Lunched with Kim and Shiqi. team 1 and 2 on training.. so met some kind souls like Yusof( he tried to help mi print the procedures that I need), LiuWei, Shiqi.. with my console, kishor.. and my kor, Ashrin who gave mi .. "secret notes" with much encouragement.. And not forgetting Winston who pop in to offer me oranges and offerring to print P&IDs for me. for a moment, I feel that my company has really very warmth ppl! oh yar.. I did smt stupid actually, I actually locked my smart card in the room.. My bag pressed on to the keyboard too much times, and my smart card got blocked. meaning, I cant access to the company intranet.. so even if I can do any reference.. I cant!!! bleh! well, everyone had a gd laugh for that.

After work, my team went to Sakuntala in little India for Dinner. I heeded there in Winston's car with YiGui and Shahul..We had abt 50 bucks to spend per head. I pretty liked the food.. Well, I love spicy stuff.. YiGui, Barry and I were pretty in love with the spicy kangkong. Den.. My sis messaged me to say my grandpa condition had turned for the worse.. Den after a while, my bro called to say ah gong was looking for me.

I excused myself.. but I couldn't get any cab. Somehow, little India's cab seemed to be all HIRED! Barry and ariffin came out to smoke and saw me still waiting for cab after 5 mins. In the end, Barry offered send me down. I felt bad cos he only ate a little of the food. Hmph. My team sure have v nice people!

When I reached, he just held my hand.. the first thing he asked was.. if I had my dinner.. at that moment, I alr started to tear. Why would a dying man asked abt me first! hmph! Then, asked me to work hard and take care of mummy. That was the last time I heard him speak. After that, his condition remained like that for a day.. and passed away in SGH on Fri morning.

He passed away with cancer. His body condition was deteriorating, ever since Dec. For people who know me well enough, I hadn't been a gd grandchild. In fact, I don't talk much to him. Shan't elaborate on that. But it hurts to see him in pain and I believe, death was a relief to him.
In my grandma..I saw the greatest virtue that mankind should possess.. Forgiveness. Sometimes, we get very blinded by small things that seemed 'important', that we fail to see the beauty of other things.

Whatever it is, in these days, I learnt to see a lot of things, did reflections and think about certain issues.

My condolences to my 2 friends as well.
Hweeteng.. for the demise of her grandpa. on the same date as my ah gong. and...
JoonChye.. for the demise of his grandma on 25th Jan..

Takecare, everyone.

2009-01-26T15:35:00.009+08:00

Here are some updates abt the last few weeks..

Pema's Birthday! 21st eh! legalled alr..:)

Celebration at Pitstop cafe, at boat quay. Well, I would sae.. it was a.. too noisy place for.. quiet ppl like us. ahem.. hahahaha.. ok, we are not that quiet.. but cos.. we had lesser ppl .. and all girls.. with only one dre. As compared to the other group who has over 30 pax.We had to scream at each other to make ourselves heard.. and that made all of us pretty short tempered.

Food was not bad, but kind of SLOW..

anyway, I was playin with photoscape.. so.. here are the pics.

12-16th Jan. Work permit trg pics.

It was boring boring boring. hmph. look at how Yusof slept.. and u noe how boring it was.

During training.. they kept me pretty occupied.
this is my Qing ai de lifen. hehex. I am so glad I have her and JC for the 2 days. :) mY ATF and deargirl. lolx. Such rare chances dont come v often.

16th jan
After the trg, we met up with Siewling, Shiqi and kim for dinner at Ichiban Sushi. Somehow.. I wasnt feeling well that day. Shopped ard at JP.. and we all went home. I wanted to go home, cos I was feeling v nauseous.. like I can vomit anywhere. But in the end, I went to find mummy to go to hospital and visit Ah gong.

Hospital atmosphere.. It gets me thinking.. the patients are mostly of old age. Part and parcel of life, isn't it..? 1 day, we will get old, sick.. and... yarr.. u noe..

On a lighter note..

9th Jan

Met up with the 1st batch ppl for steamboat. :) steam boat again. my fav eh. lolx.
I like meet ups. :) gossips, updates.. and just plain chatting. Went to grandma hse after that. cos..my grandpa condition was bad, coughing non stop with much breathing difficulties.
Elwin and Joyce

3rd Jan.
Went to cemetary to pay respects to my GuGu( aunt) who passed away Jan 2008.. and my grandma (May 2006) It seemed like just ysd when we were running to the hospital and preparing for the funeral thereafter. After that, we all went to Fortunate restaurant for dimsum. its been so long since we had a proper dinner together.

My little aunt.. with my dad and uncles. See, they all look so alike in a way or another. haha..

And they all kept commenting that My little cousin ( the elder sis, Kailin) look like me.. and the younger one look like my sis.. Perhaps some of our features?
Went to my aunt's place. Then I saw this pic in the living room. I have it. but too lazy to scan it in.. its noticeable the decrease in no. of people. And .. I really miss those times.. where we go my grandma house for reunion dinner. Anyway, Look at how dark I was! haha.. tt was sometime after my netball carnival I guess.

It was a pretty good gathering. Seeing everyone. Perhaps the lost of my aunt and my grandma did a pretty great impact on the whole family. its like.. A show without the main actresses.

Some of my cousins just skip these boring stuff.. like going up to the cemetary with them. But for me, its gd exposure and time to spend with my relatives. :)

2009-01-14T23:26:00.003+08:00

I'm on day shift this week, for training. So funni that permit trg can take up to 5 days. hmph.Basically they teach everything. even how to role play as the contractors. hmph.

day shift is SO tiring!:(

Been really busy lately. Studying, gyming and shopping.. i have yet to tidy my stuff, spring clean for new yr. For now.. I will conc on my certification test, which is on the 21st of Jan. Once clear, I will be a happy lady of freedom. :)

Trg has been great with the peeps. Esp, Lifen and Joonchye. haha.. Really miss Jc and his craps.. with all his unexpected response and answers to stuff. And of cos.. my qing ai de Lifen.. catch up with stuff.. gossipped! lolx. Isfar has been super nice, cos he lives near me.. so I have been taking lifts from him this week.. which allows mi to come home earlier.

this post is damn random. I just got sick and tired of staring at my notes. I've not touched notes for so long, and I have kinda lost that.. momentum to study!

I've been lagging in my post. lotsa pics. but yet to be posted..

Soon soon...:)

wish me luck, ppl. :)

2009-01-03T14:54:00.006+08:00

Been working working.. and all my thoughts are about work.. and the people at workplace. ok.. not healthy. haha..

On the last night shift.. we had a ... 'feast'.. some oney from the company for yr end. ordered Indian food.. well, had to accomodate to vegetarians.. and have to be halal. So i guessed that was the best plan. haha..

PLus plus.. birthday cake for the december ppl.. haha..
Such coincidence. habib and Uncle Ee on 14th Dec( same as Ziqian and my uncle!).. den Kamil and Ashok on 26th Dec.. mi alone on 17th.

Plus plus.. celebration for December Birthday ppl.

Anyway, Work has been gd. I like my job.. i enjoy my learning. However, ever since i started working in shift.. its more den over that.. I have been singing this song..." If I were a Boy..." lolx.. I am living in a man's world.. and I am still adapting to that.

So far. everything is ok. Except for some hiccups last week. Someone made mi feel so betrayed.. and yar.. In a way, it made me realized that adult life is not that simple. In school, perhaps ppl do say .. in JC or uni.. the competition level is high. ppl backstab and stuff. I would say.. I am very pampered in a very friendly and warmth environment.. where we slack together and study together. And right now.. its time to kiss gdbye to that. cos.. someone has proven to me that.. individual progression is what should be most impt to one. :) no bad feelings, just some.. 'enlightenment'.

Despite all the FUN times..My mentor might be gg to be transferred to another team. And this has been making me pretty depressed for days.. I sound like i am exaggerating, but i am not ok. In a way, mentoring me can be tiring I guess. being a new tech who doesnt know a thing, not strong in fundamentals and clumsy at hands on. I was sad when i was posted to team 3 cos i have diff rest days as the rest. What made my working life seem better was that my team members have been nice and to add on, I have 2 ppl who are constantly teaching me things patiently, in a way, more concerned abt my learning. barry and elvie. Now that elvie might be transferred to team 2. Well, I kept assuring him that.. I will learn to be independent. cos one of these days, I will have to be alone.. once i am qualified. If anyone can understand, I felt the same way when I was YOUNG and sir patrick was transferred to Thomson.

I want to lock him up with a ellis lock( some locking device) and throw the key into the furnace. lol.

Yesterday work day shift. I went to climb the highest tower in the whole exxonmobil chemicals! a very tall distillation tower with abt.. 158 trays. I could see the whole jurong island. So pretty. haha.. And i tried to look for the small tower at CPTC. and I would say. it was really SO SO SO SO SO smalll~.. lolx. Went to climb it becos the contractor had to change the wind sock at the top. So I got Shahul to climb up with me and the contractors. It wasn't a requirement to go up, I was just.. 'challenging' myself. haha.. from what see, abt 20 monkey ladders or so.. and today, my arms are aching like crazy. Anyways, It was so fun! haha..

Being the only girl in the team definitely gets more attention. My team members were so eager to help me find a boyfriend. Even asking the contractors how old are they and stuff. And.. constantly promoting my team one and only eligble bachelor.

And Elvie was SOOO nice ysd. brought me ard my unit. Asking me qns.. and.. the usual practice was for me to find the ans myself. But well, he gave me all the ans ysd. cause he said, next time mayb no chance alr. argh!

This is my beloved mentor, Elvieranshah.. so cute.. posing for my camera.

This is the man.. who could ans my qns at 4 plus in the morning, and tolerating all my nonsensical answers to his questions. he is the one who teach me how to protect myself when doing my job.

Well, I alr noe who will be taking me when he is gone. And.. I would sae.. I definitely have to be more serious alr.

The decision is not final actually.

So.. I hope for the best! :)

its only few mins to 2009!

just want to post a last entry of 2008...

I welcome 2009 with a big big hug.

2008 has been a whole yr without any studying, meetups with greatgreat friends, meeting new ppl, new collegues.. graduation,lotsa decisions makings..

I believe this yr has made all of us grown up.. in terms of maturity and thinking. Esp to all my poly friends (& lianhao ;)) out there. its a yr of transition. from studying life to.. working life for the girls and to army life for the guys. I am loving every meet up we have.. and special thanks to Bixia for helping me to make every gathering possible. passing msges to people and stuff. I guess.. As time goes by, it would be more and more difficult to meet.. but.. well, it takes a little effort from everyone.. :) I do miss the times we used to mug together yar. haha..

For my.. EM collegues.. now that we are all in different shifts.. I guess.. its near impossible for us to meet unless we have trgs. anyway, work safe! :)

For my dear siblings, I wish my sis can faster get a bf so that she wont be so MAN.. lolx.. ;) Not just that lar. hope in this yr to come, she will noe what she wants in life..and for my bro.. to enjoy his schlife to the max.. well, and get gd grades too. and for my parents, to be as loving always.

Specially for Liting.. haha.. Hope u will be happily loved always. :)

For everyone and everybody...

BE happy.. Gd health and have a prosperous 2009!

2008 hasnt been exactly a yr of happy happenings..

Let 2008 bring away all the unhappy stuff with it. All the terrorists attacks, sanlu melamine milk powder, all the natural diasters, bad health.. and bad luck.. Shoo shoo.. all go all go.. lolx

happy 2009~!

2008-12-21T00:22:00.004+08:00

The sad news reached me ysd morning.

Poor Bixia had to break the news that... our lecturer, James lee left us on 19thDec, 4am. he was 33, leaving his 2 v cute and young sons...

We had plans to visit him, but we were held back saying that he was too weak to take visitors. We recently made a Get Well card for him, but it was unable to reach him on time.

All the memories kept flashing into my mind. it seemed like just yesterday that he was visiting me at Wyeth, asking abt my attachment and all. It was well known that James was a very responsible and caring lecturer. The few of us had that extra bonding with him as he was our LO during attachment. Contacting him through emails, he would reply the emails with much encouragement in it. We missed the chance of taking pics with him after our final presentation, we missed the chance for DnD and graduation as well. I guess its most memorable to Bixia, Jason, Evelyn and me, the way James went thru our presentation slides with us. One by One, word by word, teaching us how to rephrase our sentence so that we can sound more professional. He wasnt in sch after our presentation, but we left him a card and a 'certifcate' for being the greatest 'teacher'. He messaged us to say thanks and asked abt our presentation. I rem clearly, in the last msg. he said.. "I think you have great calibre and you will go far in life."

The cancer took him away from us.. in less than a year. He was strong, he fought the illness well, with faith. I cant help feeling very guilty, he had done so much for his students. and yet.. we did not do anything for him. The world lost a great man, NYP lost a capable lecturer, his 2 young sons.. a wonderful daddy.

It makes me feel and realized how fragile life is.

The wake was at his parent's house. Peaceful. We ( Dre,Bixia,Jason,Panda,Sher,WenQing, Bingshen,Pikwah, Sihan and Isaiah) all fulfilled our promise, to pay our last respects with no tears. I am marveled at the strength of his wife. Behind her smiles and warm hospitality, we all know that the pain she has to go thru is the most unbearable amongst all.

I broke down and cried the moment i stepped out of his house. And I sincerely thank my frds for all the concern. I know their mood cant be any better than mine. I am sorry for being sucha loser at controlling my tears. thanks loads people..

I will remember James Lee as my most motivating, cheerful and caring lecturer. He will always live deep in our hearts.

People cant remember the things you said to them, but they will always remember the way they made you feel.

I dont noe if it is appropiate to post this pic. But I want to remember his Smile.. ALWAYS.

2008-12-17T11:50:00.004+08:00

Saturday was a dinner gathering with the peeps. haha.. now 5+4 very hard to find. However, our grp is expanding! haha.. We have pikwah, Bixia, LianHao, darren, Isaiah joining us.. with dre, jieying, pema and me. :) To celebrate.. me and jieying's birthday. haha..

We settled down at Balcony for a drink den. haha..

Pics from my 21st party.. to be updated again! :)

2008-12-09T12:56:00.002+08:00

Night shift tonight.

Been pretty hooked on facebook. as everyone can see. If u cant, means u arent talking to me enough. :)

I like its application, tho some of it are much similar. My top favs.. for now, MObwars ( pls accept my invitations, its ok if u dont wanna play.. lolx) and Pet society. Well, the pet.. I dont really have much time for it. so most of the time, my brother takes care of it. its sch holidays so he doesnt have much to do anyway. So it keeps him occupied.
Well, friendster also has very similar applications, but sad to say, it doesnt attract me at all. I sound like advertising for fb ar.haha.. well, i believe, gd things must share! even photos tagging are made easier. :)

Last friday, I took half day leave, and hang out with Siewling, shahul and Kim. Watched Body of lies. And.. sad to say, I dont understand much from the movie. except that leonardo is handsome. lolx. :) Had dinner at taka. DInner time, so we had some difficulties finding seats. whilst kim and sl bought their dinner, this uncle sat down.. and.. smile smile. So, he started talking to me. he was friendly, and asked quite.. polite stuff. So i kinda just chat along as he was alone. haha... How often do u see 2 strangers in singapore smile and chat... well, to me.. its pretty rare. cos singaporeans are a traditional lot. and my mum taught me.. not to talk to strangers! lolx..

i'm going to take my nap. takecare .. people. :)

2008-12-07T13:45:00.007+08:00

Its a sunday! and I am resting at home. its so rare that I am staying home on sundaes. haha..Well, initial plans was sentosa outing with my sec sch friends, organised by Jac. But sadly, a lot of people cant make it. :(

my right eye has been looking sore for 2 days. And i dont noe what's the prob.hmph.

Well, heeded gym ysd. and made a trip to town. I went shopping alone. I need to get smt from wisma and I din ask anyone in advance. So I presume everyone is busy on sat night. Its the festive seasons, and the decos are all up. Jungle bells are ringing.. everyone was taking pics here and there. Perhaps I used to go there with my friends, and did not have the chance to realli appreciate those pretty things. So i stood ard and took pics with the crowd. haha..

Just last week( i think thurss). Met up with celine and dre to have breakfast. Den went to dre house, cos Celine needed him to install some things into her phone. haha... As always, i am the victim looking at them fighting away. Really miss our poly days, even the way out of sch, the long pathway, the gossips we shared and the nonsense we nv fail to entertain ourselves with. Well, I even miss the times we sigh and complain abt the reports we have to hand in the next day even tho it was given the previous week.
this is dre's rabbits... haha..

Heeded gym after that. and met up with valent at novena. to shop for tinz present..

anyway, Happy Birthday Liting! finally 18th.. have a gd one! :) can bring u go club officially alr.. haha.

Friday night. Went to meet the swens ppl for a drink at boat quay. LiuQi, Hongda, WeiChen, steve, tianhwee.. well, we got paxson and hweeteng to come too! tt's super rare alright. haha...

May cheryl and Jiawei came to find us after work. its great to meet up with them.. after so long. Looking at them makes me miss swens a lot. Its been a long time since this came into my mind. Once I start thinking, i cant help missing a lot of ppl at swens.

With me and my cam ard. we camwhorred a little.

Sisterly love.

my girlfriend and LiuQi
the guys.
Love my girlfriend to the max! she got the whole pub looking at her and listen to her sing. totally mesmerized.

cheryl.may.val.clare
me and my soulmates.
I like this pic. Paxson and Hweeteng. love in the long run.

Sat to monday.. night shift. nothing much at work. Just that.. its time to buck up. cos i haven practise a single drawing. it was 3 peaceful nights. :) my mentor was in console. so i had chance to go in and disturb. I am getting.. pretty bonded to people in my team. esp my mentor and barry. :) well, I am an easy going person to start with. lolx.. alright, just kidding.. I am just lucky that my team doesnt have any MCP ard who kept saying that girls shouldnt work in this field.mayb they think so, but at least not like kept demoralising me? haha..

Tueday. Met up with Meiyin and ShuZheng after my night shift. Went bugis to sing! haha.. my birthday treat..:) den went NYDC for dinner.. MEiyin's friend joined us too. haha.. its great to talk to them after so long. the last time i saw them .. was before i joined exxon. and in a blink of an eye.. its been 6 mths alr!

Meiyin and me

Meiyin, ShuZheng and me
Me and ShuZheng

loves meetups loads. :) and i love my friends more.

2008-12-06T12:04:00.002+08:00

Seems like a lot of things to update. Shall update it again. :)

Something's wrong with my IE on my desktop, making me very pissed.

Feel like a lucky girl. Cos its only 1st week of dec and I've gotten 2 presents alr. :) A dress and a wallet. The dress from my NTU friends( at Wyeth Attachment) ShuZheng and Meiyin. haha.. will take some time before I wear it? lolx.. really Appreciate the thoughts tho. Its the sincerity that counts. :)
As for the wallet. From a special friend. Thanks loads too. It did surprise me.

I been feeling very out of place recently. Suddenly feel that my life is going not the way I want it to be. I mean how often does life goes according to how we want it to be. But Its just going quite.. Wrong. All my friends who noe me.. should noe that I am super fickle minded by now. Perhaps its the inferior complexity within oneself that makes me hold back in the things I want to do. Perhaps.. Sometimes I dont even noe what I realli want.

Matters of the heart. Perhaps now is a gd time for both u and me to think and tell ourselves what we realli want. :)

2008-11-28T15:33:00.005+08:00

Its been ages since I've last blogged.

Life has been great! Work.. and meeting friends on off days.

last friday morning, i met up with Celine, both of us just finished nightshift. So we made a trip down to NUS to hand in our application for Btech. Had breakfast at jurong east before heeding our way there. One thing was that, when 2 blur people are sober, they are prefectly normal. However, being two drained out girls.. who haven slp a wink the entire night, we were like 2 walking zombies.

It was fun.. I love outings with them. Singsing at Amk Kbox. Bingshen was so engrossed.. haha.. and I am totally in love with Bixia's singing. haha.. gifted eh. :)

Went for dinner. order dishes.. and we were quite pissed by the stall. cos it doesnt seem to have much things and they stated a lot of items in their menu.

its always Bixia or myself initiating the outings. Den... we have to msg everyone and all. hassle hassle. and some dont even reply. I am not complaining that msging ppl is troublesome. its just that.. perhaps.. the organising role can be changed sometimes? just some frank opinions.

2008-11-18T19:34:00.005+08:00

off day off dayssss! hehex..

rot at home whole day. doing things and just laZing ard.haha. And went for my jog:) Wanted to heed gymm but kinda lazy to make the trip down. so change of plans, stayed home.. mummy's off day too. been feeling very sinful these few days. the people have been feeding the shift teams with pizza and kfc. had that for 2 days. the thought of it makes mi lose my appetite now. lolx. the treat was becos of the new LSMG project.. successful! therefore the treats. :)

Last friday

Went retail therapy with Celine. SHopped for her stuff, cos she was attending the exxon DnD. I was working, so i couldnt go. So, settled for some stuff. as well as her present! haha.. :)

Laughed like hell over some stuff.. realli funni.. We saw this guy with a mini shirt. like showing his stomach.. and butt crack. lolx. recession. one cloth make into 2 shirts. lolx. tested some gliitery makeups, and I think the 2 of us were making a lot of noise in the shop. but it was funfunfun. girls.. we should go out more k. haha.. anyway, the outing was.. filled with.. Kisses ;) lolx.

Sat.
Worked morning. Successfully got barry to send mi from SCP to PAC to find celine. yea~ haha.

work was fine. as always. :) cos i got a very smooth unit. Afterwork, had dinner with a friend. chat abt stuff. haha.. meetups are great. :D

Yesterday

A very interesting morning. one major leak at a product line. its PRODUCT, so its expensive. 7 or 8 techs including myself finding mitigation prob. and..commission firewater and all. and suaysuay, it rained! drenched thru out. but fun fun eh. lolx. den mi and sham.. helped to solve the problem! haha. we found the way to access the inaccessible valve! haha.. cos we couldnt help in anything, so we walked ard the whole unit. find ladders. hahaha..

I like sham. and i like the way he say, U wouldnt Know till u try! :)

2008-11-14T11:46:00.003+08:00

todae's my off day! :)

had a gd gd slp ysd after night shift. haha.. just like falling into coma. Slept from 11am to 730. haha.. work was pleasant. :) Funny stuff here there. esp by some of the indian nationals. there's one of them whom I realli cant understand his slang. haha.. so everytime he talks to the console man, I assume that he's speaking in his mother tongue.. cos the console man is an indian too. But.. apparently, he is speaking in english. =.= haha.. my post work. quite.. limited, therefore, i happily followed people around to see them do their stuff. Chat with one of my team members for quite long.. interesting topic eh, abt what guys do when they go overseas. and how extreme some people can be when their wives arent ard. tsktsk. guys are all hao she one eh.

On monday we had our team building session at marina mandarin hotel.
erm. one of the sections was knowing ourselves more thru some test called FiroB.
In summary...
-need people in my life, and I expressed it out
-need clear instructions to work. I like people who tell mi what they realli want and expect from me.
-moderately affectionate! hahaaa..
-am a tension reliever!
-extrovert

It ended up with some score at the overall. introverts have lesser score. and extrovert has higher.. haha.. mine is 44. considered high... people at my table kept laughing at my high score.. proclaiming my high affections! well, i make ppl feel loved.. lolx.. y not.. =P

Happy hr after the whole session. basically just sat at the cafe in the hotel. and order drinks, sit and chat. The waitresses are pretty and elegant.. and got all the guys all smitten. lolx.

just some random thoughts..

well, I said this before to some people..I hate it when MEN thinks that I am v gulliable. its just that I have more trust in people, I tend to believe in what people tells me. before I will think that this person is bluffing me. Mayb cos I have always been in a very protected environment.
And I am beginning to see this world turning pretty ugly.

I guess as we go on in lives, we meet more people, encounter more things. Meeting more people means we have a larger social circle.. some super nice, some super friendly.. and some super plastic. its hard to find someone whom we can click very well with.. click very well, in a sense.. understand u. hmph.

2008-11-11T14:01:00.002+08:00

Someone told me this todae..

An unbirthday is an event that can be celebRated on any of the 364 days on which it is not the person's birthday. It is a neologism coined in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass.

So happy unbirthday to all! everyday's a reason for celebration yar. lol.

night shift tonight. gonna nap soooonnnn... Zzzz...

2008-11-09T22:54:00.012+08:00

My dear bro

me and mummy dearest

Anyways, we were realli gd at camwhoring. :) my parents and grandma are v spontaneous too! haha..

Been covering shifts, morning and night. Going to work at night is like.. everyone on the bus is going home and u are on ur way to work. lolx.. Night shifts.. do routine work, and i found someone to reply to my mail instantenously! ;) love her sia. haha.. anyway,I wanna exclaim.. that i realli love my mentors! haha.. as in barry and LV. :):) I've been tagging them everywhere. haha.. to places that I dun have to go. Realli appreciate the learning experience, even all the questions they bombard me with. I realized how my passive my learning had been all these years. I never see the need to ask WHY. even if i asked and I dun understand, I will just let it go.. and I will memorise the context of it. now, I'm trained to ask WHY and HOW, even that question is arrowed to me. haha.. I learn to find answers to my own qns, and then ask for clarifications. I admit, many people say that working as an operation technician is not easy. I never think that it will be easy. In fact, its even tougher for females. Male dominanted environment. Frankly, I dont know how long I will stay as an ops tech. THo many of my frds have been really very encouraging about me going back to study next yr. but i guess for now, I will just concentrate on my certification test.. and shall think abt it next yr. ;)

28th Oct-Happy birthday KIm!

You Act Like You Are 16 Years Old

You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid.
You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way.
You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.

What Age Do You Act?

haha.. i am onli 16.. lolx.. kim should try this:P

2008-10-30T01:08:00.008+08:00

JC really entertained us with his super practical yet so lame jokes. haha.. and kim with his.. sudden attacks. oops. Really miss the girls.. gonna miss them more when we all return to shifts.

Pics from last weekend.. when grandma and my aunt visited my house with the 2 cuties..

kawaiii ne..

I treasure all the sweet memories.:)

2008-10-12T23:57:00.002+08:00

yay! Long weekend.. :)

this week. schedule is totally.. prefect. lolx. Due to training schedule, I got extra off days. haha..

My 2 days of day shift were gd. except for the fact that.. I had some problems trying to escape from my trainer. lolx. I am appreciative of his teachings, but u noe.. when old ppl gets naggy.. he just repeatss and repeats. all the important and unimportant things. It gets tiring. He doesnt seem tired talking, but i really feel tired trying to listen. Besides that, I totally love my mentor! haha...

weekends were great. get together with family and relatives. :) my cousins are real cuties. haha.. shall post pics soon.

Heeded gym with Viv and J in the morning. Went for new classes.. and I am aching everywhere now. lolx. my fav still body gombat! haha.. Jessy came later. :)

alright.. I am so excited abt this week. haha.. vendor trainings. meetups with collegues. yippeee.. lolx..

may all wishes come true. stay happy!

2008-10-08T19:08:00.002+08:00

yay! my first OFF day after shift work.:)

3 days of night shift. The first day was pretty 'exciting'. cos a lot of new things to look forward to. haha.. The plant looks so different at night, pretty lightings and all. So chilling~
I was pretty used to doing line tracing with JC, and I am quite not used to it without him. No one to remind me of the no.s and stuff. Independence! lolx.. I am in team 3 with Kassim. Sad to say, I dun have anything in common with this guy here. haha.. 5 mths of training, and i guess I nv really talked to him much. so now he's struck with me and vice versa. lolx. Anyway, met my teammates. and so far so gd. i like them:) haha..

My blurness started on the 2nd day. I left my employee pass inside my locker. and I need my employee pass to enter the locker area. So i need a female card to enter the girl's locker.. Thank god, i found one girl from another department.. and.. yar.. they had to walkie talkie her back. haha..

3rd day, I saw my mentor already! back from Hari Raya. :) learnt quite a no. of things from him and another guy. time passed faster too.

alright.. more to go. tmr on morning shift. haha..

For friends working out there, Gambatte..! off days or whatsoever.. do keep in touch k..

For guys in army.. Book out and ask ppl out! haha... enjoy trainings yar. lolx

For friends who are studying.. ( esp. for Pema Tay) Enjoy sch life. play hard and study smart. haha.. mugmugmug..!

2008-10-02T12:57:00.002+08:00

Friday

Went IMM with my sis before heeding to my grandma's place. shopped..
Start of F1 race. :) I am not so into racing. But well, I would say... I am SO proud of SINGAPORE! haha. its like we are sucha small country yet with so much zest and.. opportunities. :) spore rawks. lolx..

Meetups!

Saturday
haha... Met up with Celine Retail therapy.shopped, talked and chill.. haha.. Den we ran into Shikin and Fiza. :) its so nice to meet up with schmates after graduation. More over, come to think abt it. Shikin, Celine and I are.. Collegues! Same company, just.. different plants. Had lotsa fun with celine, laughing at tiny mini things. all the craps. Yea Man~ ;)

Sunday

Went California Fitness with Vivian and her friend J. Supposed to be a visitor pass.. and sumhow.. after some.. psycho-ing. I joined:) haha. Went for Bodycombat and Zumba fitness class. for a first timer.. I like the class! haha.. Its funfun, esp when u do it in a grp. haha.. I am not someone who is enthu abt dance and stuff.. but the music makes ur body move with it. and at the same time.. sweat it out! :)

Monday

The day started off with a bad news. My deepest condolences to my friend, whose mum left the world. The news hit us hard, it really took all of us back. Well, just a note to take down.. Always treasure ppl around u.. cos life is unpredictable.. Before its too late.

My level 3 classroom training has finally come to an end. At this moment I cant help feeling so sad that all of us are going to be separated into different shift teams and trainings. Joining EM in May and June, these few months of training had been long, taxing and tiring. With plenty of drawings, tests and such. The people whom we get to see like everyday.. At that moment that we were packing our stuff and all.. It made mi had the urge to take a photo down.. and remind myself of this secluded and chilling SAR building.

Perhaps I am too emotional. But it striked me that.. people once told me that friends are realli hard to find when u start working. I am so blessed to say.. at least.. i found some. :) Altho we are all of diff ages, diff backgrds.. but i believe the few months training have brought us closer.. and know each other better. :) I was really close to tears when i said bye to kimB and Sl as they left for CPtC.. it was just sedimental on my part.

Now.. towards a new chapter of my life.. Shift work. I am SOOOOO looking forward to it. ( i tink so)..

2008-09-22T23:25:00.009+08:00

Its been a rather 'foodful' weeek...haha.. meetups with friends, family and colleagues. Gd food thruout the week! gotta runrunrun more..

Me and my sis bought this CD that teaches a workout session, yet to try it out.. but its believed to be effective to SWEAT it out! haha.. well, I shall blog abt it if it is effective. ;) That skinny tinz claims she wants to try it out too! boo~

I covered Valent's shift at Swens last Sunday, cos her leg was swelling like a pig's trotter. lolx. Worked morning 9-3. It was sir Paxson's OFFICIAL last day too. well, i've decided to have the same last day as him.. haha.. so I told mam Lihui that I dont wanna work anymore cos my shift schedule is starting soon. But she said she will still leave my name there. anyway, as i see paxson go, I can totally understand how gf May feels. so 'abandoned' and.. yar, ALONE. Loads of new staff.. still require loads of training.

Aliff and me Ah Shiung and me..

Well, I had fun. But I think its really time to let go. :)

Tuesday. Mummy's off day. Nice dinner at Chong Pang. :)

our Sumptuous meal
Mummy
Daddy
Justin
Valent

Wednesday- Sakae Sushi with my Exxon Colleagues. Cos Diqqin had a craving for sushi. Ate till all of felt like throwing up. haha..

I thot he look like a Dracula.. lolx. tt's Diqqin.

Friday.. the 4 of us went for Steamboat at Bugis. Me, Siewling, Shiqi and Kim. It was funfunfun. Kim was SOooo lucky. we piled his bowl with lotsa food.. till he just sat there, feeling bloated and just stoned. haha.. Had a gd laugh over the veggiess and Prawns. Such chances will be rare in the future when we go to shift.

Sat- Singsingsing with Valent n Tinz. girls day out! val had a great time laughing at me and tinz formidable partnership at singing. haha.. we dont noe how to sing the same phrases.. and we sing the wrong phrases!. haha..

2008-09-18T23:02:00.004+08:00

I did this once.. at an Exxon training.. and.. now i did it on Facebook.. It has got the same results! haha...

ESFP
Extraverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
ESFPs live in the moment, experiencing life to the fullest. They enjoy people, as well as material comforts. Rarely allowing conventions to interfere with their lives, they find creative ways to meet human needs. ESFPs are excellent team players, focused on completing the task at hand with maximum fun and minimum discord. Active types, they find pleasure in new experiences. ESFPs learn more by doing than by studying or reading, and so they tend to rush into things, learning by interacting with their environment. They usually dislike theory and written explanations. Observant, practical, realistic, and specific, ESFPs make decisions according to their own personal standards. They use their Feeling judgment internally to identify and empathize with others.

2008-09-18T23:02:00.002+08:00

Many thoughts are running through my mind.

A lot of things seems to be uncontrollable within our stretch. A simple decision can change someone's life totally. Its unevitable that we will reach a cross junction.. forcing us to make a decision. Whatever it is, make decisions not to regret tmr.

Its been a not-so-fantastic day. Just felt like sumthing's weighing in my heart. The thing is.. I dont noe what's wrong. hmph.

Wanted to go Geylang.. jalan jalan with gurlfriend, mahirah and peeps. but well, I was too tired. I haven been doing anything much.. but felt.. anti social today. Even smiling seems tiring.

tsktsktsk.

2008-09-14T22:25:00.010+08:00

Its been a gd week! haha..

Work-Training's almost done and yar.. life gets more relaxing. :) movie marathon.. and yups. just some procedures here and there. hoorays! :) And we are now separated into our own shift teams( sadsadsad!) well, I didnt have a preferred one.. but i was wishing that my shift schedule can be at least similiar to my frds. but it was the direct opposite. they all had the same working days, except me. so when they work, i rest. when i work they rest. On a brighter note, I believe I will learn to be a lot more independent soon! :) so.. on 4th Oct, Shift Team 3. Here i Come!

Last Thursday- Outing with 0506 Peeps..

All our army guys POP on tues and wed, and les was going to be enlisted on Friday. So dinner gathering was fixed on thurs. I'm glad lotsa ppl could make it. 13 of us. and we decided on Swensens.. cos Bx and Sher were craving for.. Ice cream.. haha..

13 of us..
Pretty pretty girls with our botak gonnabe.
4skinheads.. haha..
Well, girls will always be girls. we camwhored the whole night. haha..

Cherries Lovers
After dinner.. we were headed home.. cos most of the girls were working the next day. But somehow we stopped at this 'fountain' area.. and we started camwhoring again. Jy had went the other direction to take her bus.

We'll miss his hair

Lovesloves.ilovemeetups:)

2008-09-09T19:10:00.004+08:00

Time Flies! its been 4mths of classroom training, and.. yes, we're going shift next month! 1st oct. :) Having that said, the thought of starting shift comes with excitement, anticipation, and fear. Its my first time working 12 hrs shift! Well, I actually look forward to my shift allowance more. haha..

I've put in serious thoughts about my own future. At this stage, I've more of less come to a conclusion. :) The other day, shiqi came to class with this sec2 maths qns from her tuition kid. And it suddenly striked me that I have forgotten all my maths. all the vectors, matrix and stuff.. well, i guess its time to take out some old textbks and try to find back those 'memories'.

its been a gd week in class. We merely had one test. we have completed most of our syllabus.. and yups, we have more time to ourselves! Slack, play and moviesss.. :) I guess this 16 weeks of training have brought the May and June batch closer. Well, we had more than enough time to noe more abt each other.

The fasting month is here. let's all be more courteous to the Muslim who are fasting. :)

Just last weekend, worked for Hp Charity Event. at HortPark( the gardening hub). Well, I didnt know sucha park exist in Singapore. anyway, its a nicenice place. Gd scenerio, plenty of plants.. very pretty.. I got my sec sch frd, valent, liting and jessy to work in it as well.

the event started at 9am. reporting time was 8am.. and we were late.. that park is pretty inaccessible.. ok, excuses. just late.

tt's my AA*, Jeffrey haha..

Some hiccups during the event. Its really not nice to be sandwiched between 2 parties. esp when u can understand the stands of both. nevertheless, I was so elated to see CELINE! haha.. she acompanied me to have my lunch. talked about stuff.. i really miss her SOOO MUCH! And.. a big thankyou to people who spared a thought for me. Appreciated. :)

2008-08-26T20:35:00.007+08:00

I realized that I have been blogging lesser and lesser nowdays. Everyday, have to bring back things to study afterwork. Routine tests, which makes me feel mentally drained out everyday. I would say.. my plant is FREAKING big. Well, I just come to realize that the ethylene plant that I am going to work at.. is one of the biggest Ethylene plant in the world. Scream.lol.

Work has been alright. I have been good. going home straight after work.. cos I have been spending toooo much. =(

Thursday, I went to this 7th month prayer ceremony at Clementi. I am a buddhist, not a taoist. Just a note, there is a difference between the 2 alright. haha.. Just to offer some prayers.. more importantly, to see Sir Paxson's lion dance troupe. my dad is a helper there, therefore explains my attendance there.

Creation by ShaoHong Liondance.

Friday- EM mini gathering. BBQ At sembawang Park.

It was drizzling and the sky was filled with dark clouds when I left my house, but surprisingly, the rain stopped! and the weather was good the whole day, light breeze and all.

the guys were so lousy! haha.. they couldnt get the fire started. till we came, and shiqi started a gd fire. lolx.. My contributions was.. to help to fan, and wrap the corns and sweet potato. Kim Huat made some remarkable contributions too. haha.. he helped me prepare the aluminium foil for the corn and he helped to step on the charcoals to break them into smaller pieces. GREAT.:)

My trainer was funny lar.. hmph. seems like i need some time to learn how to communicate with old people. i am learning. serious.

Movie outing with my Exxon Collegues. Shahu, Elwin, Shiqi and Kim. Shahu is a study freak. haha.. We watched "Journey to the centre of the Earth". and he suddenly told me.. the water fall or something is a Quench water tower. and they got trap in a confined space and they din do gas test. Well, he was just kidding. but i guessed he really studied hard.haha.. Trainer asked for PFD.Well, he always draw PID ( a more more detailed diagram) instead. lolx.

Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Outing with Whopper, Tianhwee and Yongjun, Movie."Love Guru". erm. just a crappish funny and horny show. haha.. i give it 3 out of 5 popcorns. haha.. shopped around, and saw Pikwah at cine. Therefore, I missed NDP again. hmph.. i am so not patriotic. This sounds spastic, but i still wanna say this..I love SINGAPORE, this is where I belong. lovesloves.

Well, I am actually quite sad that I missed the fireworks. cos Whopper says fireworks is a waste of time. :(

We went Bowling. AGAIN. haha.. this time round with more peeps. they called along their friends. I played like a kid. haha.. washed the drain till its sparking clean. haha.. The world is so small, cos.. I met my relative there.. he was one of whopper's friends. haha..

Went to Bishan to give Andre a surprise early birthday celebration. I lied to him that the lunch date was just with me celine and bixia. den les, jason, pikwah and lianhao turned up too. haha.. Celebrated at Cafe Cartel. hehex. More people supposed to turn up, but all had last min commitments. hmph. We shopped ard Bishan.. like twice.. haha.. and after our analysis, we decided that Bishan J8 has got lots of fastfood and food stalls. haha.. only dun have BK. its not as small as we all thought. haha..

First of all, as noticed.. I took away my blogskin. Somehow I find it pretty troublesome to go and search for blogskin again. I shall stick to this simple layout, till I have more time to do anything else to it:) haha..

Anyway, Happy birthday

to the July and August's babies!

Isaiah, Betty, Sihan, WanQing, XiaoMing, LiuQi, Steve and Sherilyn.

haha.. one yr older already eh.. =P

Updates.

Last Monday, on my way to work, I realized that I did not tighten my bottle, and therefore, my whole bag was full of water. so were my notes, my stationery and stuff. Well, it wasnt tt bad at first, but i did not identify the correct leaking source. Therefore, the whole water bottle was drained. As I walked, the bag was dripped with water. haha.. Blurrness in the morning.

Wetted Bag , this was after some drying with the hand drying machine.
Stationery

Tests for the week have finally ended. Some issues in the team regarding the tests, the amount of time to study and stuff. I didnt ask for much, only a PASS is gd enough. haha... We have yet to know which post we are taking, Olefins or Compressor. Another 8 more weeks of training before shift work.

We requested to go out field, to the plant, to do some line tracing. Unlike the rest who has experience, it was my first time at a commercial running plant doing a 'task'. I followed JC. haha.. and I did something really dumb. I rolled my P&ID and put it inside my pocket whilst I climbed the monkey ladder. I'd pictured this before, and.. the scene came live. It came out from my pocket, and flew all over the floor, from a height about 3 storeys. Imagine my poor friends down there picking up my sheets of papers for me. I promise I wont be so blur in the future.

Friday

Meet up Dinner with Whopper ( Ah Seng), Guoxing and gf, May, and Yongjun at cwp. Before that, I dropped by IMM, to find sir patrick! haha.. my favfav manager. :)

Saturday

Outing with Whopper, May, Tianhwee and Yongjun. well, this was unplanned. initial plan was to meet celine. and Whopper kept insisting that he wanna tag along me and my friend. But somehow due to some miscommunication, I didnt get to meet celine. We watched Money Not enough 2. rating-3/5 popcorns. Very singaporean movie, but.. not as fantastic as I expected. Somehow, in my personal opinion, the storyline and the title dont really match.

After Movie, I managed to get LiuQi's present. :) Dinner.. and we went BOWLING at Yishun Safra. me and my dearest pal. May and me.
This pic is a classic. haha... Whopper's present, this might be the 1st and only time we get to see him in PINK. cos we bought the shirt for him.
May. Ah Seng . Me

We waited for abt an hour for the lanes. Whilst waiting, we talked about stuff. I do envy the group of them, growing up together since sec sch, some pri sch and yet they are still very closely bonded. They just know each other inside out. Like Valent, Liting and mayhao. Whopper commented that I've changed a lot since when he first known me. :) at least it was a change for the better. haha..

They invited a friend along, and he left shortly after a game. Well, he wasnt really friendly. haha.. =P May left after a game too. leaving just the 4 of us. we paired up and played against each other. haha.. and.. Here are the winners:

me and whopper! we won in both games. haha. I am not gd at bowling, but luck was on my side. I kept getting Spares and Strikes. haha.. This kind of luck dont come often, mayb cos I was teamed with this cute joker. He really made my day, laughing our hearts out.

With Winners, Of cos there's the losers too...

Tianhwee and Yongjun
4 of us. (Look at the closing Bowling alley behind)

Something's just wrong with me. I cant sleep! i slept at 4am and woke up at 10am. that explains the eye bag that seems to be pretruding.

At swens, I met these 2 MAYs.. both are real great! here's the other..

Dearest girlfren and I miss her loads

As promised, These are the pictures from CPTC. haha.. like damn outdated alr. :)

Let's look forward to a Gd week ahead!

2008-07-26T20:03:00.003+08:00

Before I blog about anything else.. I really want to say SORRY to my dear friend. I am sucha blur. We were supposed to meet up. However, due to some miscommunications, I decided to cancel the outing. And I actually forgotten to message Jieying about it. I only realized it when she called me at 6 plus.

First was Celine. She mistaken my meaning in my sms, then now Jieying. I really have nothing to say.. except sorry. I am sucha blur.

As everyone graduate from school, gatherings became rare. Everyone is busy with their own things, and their packed schedule.its been so long since we had everyone. as in.. 5+4. Instead, we met new friends, new clique.. like Lianhao, bixia and all.. The guys in NS, booking out only on weekends. For the girls, either working or starting school soon. Well, this entry seems to be going nowhere. just me yakking.

A random question struck me the other day. When u feel sad or bloated with troubles, and u feel like talking to someone.. Who will u call? Its been so long since i last called someone becos I am feeling down. Nowdays, I chose methods that are more independent. Retail therapy, jogging, or blogging. I do have a special friend. someone whom are not very reachable nowdays, but I do appreciate that whenever I msg him about things, be it complaints or to share some news.. he's always there. Sometimes you don't need someone to really agree with what you say. But it just need someone to reply a comforting statement like " I understand". I believe it takes effort from both parties to get a relationship going, it applies the same for friendship. Sometimes I believe, a simple message like "How have you been?" from a friend whom you have not seen for sometime will make your day.

Well, this is just a random entry.

Been busy the whole afternoon.. doing some clean ups and stuff. everything else except to study my notes. 140Qns tests on monday. I have yet to read a single set of notes. As I kept complaining about the things that I have to learn.. I kept reminding myself of my objective here. To learn and earn.

keep it going. I can. I hope.

2008-07-22T20:52:00.006+08:00

Back to blog.

Ever since I started to work at Jurong Island, I realised that I have been becoming more and more blur as the days go by. Perhaps the bad air in JI is affecting my mind! lolx.

its been PID PFD all the way. haha.. memorising loads of stuff. today i just fin a test with a full A3 paper full of tempt gauges, columns, control valves and all. Felt so accomplished when i finish drawing the PFD. It took me so much pains to learn them all ysd!

Last week, I worked swens on sat. 12-5. haha.. pehaps going to be my last schedule. I dont noe.. to be confirmed bah. haha.. Met up with Pema, Andre, Lester and Sharon for dinner. haha.. Its been a long time since I last saw Sharon!. haha.. Dine dine at Hongkong cafe. :):):) Good to have Pema updating us with her orientation funstuff, dre with his army hardship... Congrats to les! he got his driving license already! haha.. anyway, i miss isaiah and the rest!

Hit the Totoro..Specially made by Lalo. They made her whacked the totoro to get her secret surprise inside. Well, i think its sucha pity.. cos the totoro is really a masterpiece!

Totoro is created by Lalo. inside is full of candies and choc. a ball of sweetness.:)

I believe Qing has a wonderful 21st birthday. I can feel the warmth and xinfu ness in her. haha.... Loves. <3>

Talking about birthdays.. it suddenly striked me how long i haven meet up with the darlings. my 19th birthday celebration images flashed back into my mind. the 3 girls took much effort to surprise me too. well.. i just want to say.. girls, I miss u guys loads! :)

Human beings look for reasons when things don't go well,

the circumstances, the timing, the weather and the luck.
They pull out all these various excuses to console themselves.

"It wasn't supposed to be like this.."

"If only I could do it over again." but..

Will it really turn out well if u get to do it all over again?

Since they failed the 1st time, where did that confidence of success the second time round come from?

Instead of dreaming about changing the past for the present.. how about changing the present for the future?

Just some things to ponder over.. I find this rather interesting. :) well, I managed to chiong thru the show, Operation Love during the weekend. A outdated Jap show. But I simply love it. haha..

"Ask.. and it shall be given. "

Sat-Swens day. 5-11. erm. everything was alright, except that i really felt like slapping one of the staff. He just care for himself and his actions... I think my grandma move faster than that. bleh. To put it simply, just plain selfish and lazy.

Sunday-Yusof's wedding. My Exxon collegue marries a air stewardess.. and she is so pretty. haha.. We went there to give my blessings, observe the malay wedding.. well, we dont really have this kind of opportunity. JC,Elwin, Shiqi, Lifen and I Went Cityhall after that, to shop around and had dinner. chill at JUst noodles from 6 plus till 10. power seh.. haha..talk abt stuff. haha..:)

Level 3 training started this week. No more CPTC. ~~I miss Mr Ho~~ The 14 of us are separated. 2 went on shift. the rest are divided into 2 grps. Well, I got to grp with JC and shiqi. so at least there is someone to wake me up when I feel sleepy. The first day was a goner. Monday Blues perhaps.. insufficient sleep the night before.. It was real hard to stay awake.

Tues- FireFighting training.

I fought a BIG fire! we were given the real firemen suit... which was freaking heavy and stuffy! now i noe how a firemen feels.. haha.. anyway, we did something similar to the CPTC one. but we din get wet at all. we were given an extinguisher each.. and they put on a BIG fire. so we got to 'activate' the extinguisher and put out the fire.

well, i personally wish that is going to be the largest fire I have to put out in my life.:)

peace;)

2008-07-05T10:09:00.003+08:00

I've officially graduated from CPTC. Computer based operator training. something like that. hahaha...

It's been a gd week! last week of training equates to last week of slacking. haha.. now that CPTC is taken over by the petrolfac people.. well, life is not as simple anymore. I miss the times there is freedom in there. :) I shall post the pics soon;) anyway, I will definitely miss the trainers. well, 6 weeks of training went past smoothly all becos of them. It let me felt that I was back to school. Mr Ho KS, Mr Han, Ibrahim and Mr Tan ( he never fail to bore out the whole class.-complete knockout). haha.. For Mr Ho.. he is simply my idol. haha... this guy has brains and talent. u name it, u have it.. every break time is interesting with him around. He tells us stories about his experiences in the plant, the types of problem that he met during troubleshooting, his marathon experience, things that he encountered overseas. A learnt and humble man. In him, I see the weakness in myself. its contant learning, trying and going for everything that makes his life different from the rest.

oh ya, bus 6 route has a stop right in front of my grandma house! haha.. Went there ysd.. my uncle brought Ziqian and Zirui there too. haha..

ZiQian

Zirui

I simply cant stand the sight of that woman at my grandma's. bleh! y in earth will such mothers exist? i just dun understand. I have never seen a woman more rotten than this. yucks. shrug.

2008-06-29T17:50:00.009+08:00

Time flies! next week i will graduate from CPTC again.. :)

Its a pre-requisite to wear a bullet proof vest to work everyday. cos i got verbally asaulted by bullets everyday. My collegues and I were on the topic about premarital sex and the younger generation mentality towards sex. In fact, I did hear of some stories which I find it quite absurd.Like my mum's friend called and whine about her son surfing porn site at the age of 12. Well, he did not surf it in front of his mum, he sleeps early every night and wakes up in the middle of the night to either surf porn sites or to play his gameboy. To add on, the gameboy was an'illegal' item as it was secretly bought after stealing money from his mum's wallet. Here's another one.. schboy at the age of 14 going for prostitues. Well, adventurous uh? haha..

Last saturday, went out with liting, Tianhwee, Edward, Valent and Weilun. A couple with 4 lightbulbs. haha.. Went for Suki Sushi Buffet and movie. Buffet was.. scary.. haha..Tianhwee really kept our table full all the time. Watched "you dont mess with the Zohan".. quite alright.. funny. but i will give it 3/5 popcorns.:)

Supervisors rawks. haha..

Sweetened

Sunday i worked swens. enjoyable:) just a pity that girfren worked night. Elated to see Sir Raymond. haha.. well. as everyone expected, I have yet to quit swens. haha.. since now is still training, i'm not physically drained. but mentally full each day.:) Moreover, I miss my girlfren! haha..

Met with with Carmelita the other day. 6 of us ( my current collegues) went for dinner at secret recipe. well, the food wasnt really fantastic. Got sabotaged as usual, so i sat with JC( my default partner). I guess Cam made the correct decision to leave. better pay, better working hours.. Play pool after dinner with JC,Elwin and ShiQi.

Watched Get Smart with Liting and Valent. nice nice.. I like that movie. 4/5 popcorns. hehex. anyway.. I'm glad to see a Happy tinz now. :)

27th-Saturday

Happy 20th Birthday Isaiah!:)

We met up on the 28th. Andre booked out too.. haha... met up with Pema and Jieying earlier. Planned to shop.. but in the end, we chilled at Cine,BK while waiting for the rest. Isaiah, Lianhao and Kenneth was shopping for presents too.. Dinner at breeks.. we had this 'surprise' for Isaiah. haha.. seems like they are having some serious manpower shortage.. We really had problems trying to get hold of one staff.. and frankly speaking, I dont like that super kanchiong manager too. haha.. nevertheless, we waited for our dessert for so long! After a while, we finally got hold of one staff who at least noe something, the rest all look foreign and untrained. so we got our ice cream.. haha.. MASSIVE ATTACK! well, when the bill came, we realized that sumhow they din charge us for the massive attack.. I guess it was negligence on their part.. and guess what, we acted blur... ;)

Here's the handsome birthday Boy.. ( where is Betty? *sniff sniff* )

that us..without Kenneth.. (in a call)

Botak Dre!

I love meetups with the peeps! miss those schdays that we can hang out everyday.

2008-06-21T00:04:00.002+08:00

Its friday! Accompanied Shiqi for a haircut just now. Last Wed was Carmelita's last day. she found a more suitable job at a pharma company. Feel glad for her. Almost everyone said that females technician dont stay more than 2 years. well, due to the working environment and stuff. plans for the future.. to be re-considered.

CPTC training so far. Its pretty dry to be viewing videos everyday. However, I did learn lotsa things that I Have not learnt in school.. and see things that I dont get to see. I totally love our main trainers, Mr Han and Mr Ho. Mr Ho is a very very experienced project engineer from Shell. It really amaze me the way he look at things. Many things we see, we just take them for granted. These are the people who take a step back and ask.. WHY? well, the makings of an engineer. Being inquisitive. Its like the same logic how Newton discovered gravity from an apple falling onto his head. Normal people would only say OUCH. yar, U get my point. :)

I've been a real blur these days. My collegues named me "Chilli Sotong". lolx.After seeing me forget to lock my locker, forgetting my rubber band, or clothes etc.. well..I guess they did exaggerate it.. I'm not that blur.. I think. haha.

As Promised..

anyways, i miss dre!

2008-06-11T22:41:00.002+08:00

its been another week! Dre book in for camp last friday. sad ar.. haha.. we went out on tues for a.. 'farewell' dinner. haha.. :)Dinner at Pasta Waraku at MArina Sq. People went includes.. Bixia, Sher, Celine, Pema, Jieying, Isaiah, Darren, Lester, Lianhao, Kenneth,Yuanxiong, Andre and Allen Liew. Except for the part that the waitresses and managers simply cant wait for the guests to browse through the menu properly. Not to forget the fact that they only give us 2 menus for 13people. :)

sumhow, blogger is really problematic. I cant seem to upload any pictures right now. :(

Last weekend was burnt out totally. I went to the PC show with Shiqi on saturday. Both of us need a camera. We bought one from Olympus at a gd bargain. Just a normal camera with gd specs. We rushed to Orchard as Shiqi had to go for her medical review. Retail therapy! haha.. GSS.. sales everywhere! So tempting.. hahaha! retail therapy is gd, de-stress!.. ( tho i am not really stressed out right now.. ) The camera was heavy, and it did tire us out having to carry that big Olympus bag around orchard road.. After that, Shiqi went home and I went back to the PC show to meet my dad, my uncle, ah qian and all. haha..

Sunday was Father's day! Did not buy anything or plan any celebrations. Just happened that it was my mum's rest day too. Therefore, we headed to JB in the afternoon. Just to walk around and slack. Everytime I return from JB, it would make me feel so blessed to be a Singaporean. No offense to the Malaysians. Its just that Singapore govt make our environment clean and green indeed. No matter how often people complain about Singapore being a FINE city, but I guess that is the price to pay for having a gd and clean environment to live in. At least we dont have drains being choked up with litters, chewing gums sticking around or drunkards lying beside a convenient store with vomits on the ground. We had dinner at the roadstalls. Despite low hygience standard, the food they sell are really nice and cheap ;) haha.. The stalls in Singapore have been so urbanised that the food they sell are just from a standard recipe.. losing the original taste. Sometimes when I start to take things around me for granted, a trip like this will make me appreciate things more. :)

Did some volunteering work on 08June at the new temple in Punggol. its a really nice place, really worth visiting. haha.. Anyway, I went with my siblings. Our job scope is just.. to prepare packed food for the people. It was fun. haha.. We had to be full attired, with caps, aprons, masks and gloves. well, I tore my cap. haha..

2008-06-09T23:25:00.002+08:00

I am not in the best of mood. and i dun understand y everyone has to come and aggitate me. bleh..

well.. what can I say.

sigh..

no one noes what's behind the smiles. hmph

2008-06-07T12:25:00.009+08:00

its has been a blur blur week! Last Sunday, I worked at swens. 12-5, i forgot my ezlink card, and we went to meet whopper yj may tianhwee after work. its been ages since i saw May, for she is still forever having exams. haha.. Met 2 other friends, Sheng Yew and Nicholas. Fun ppl, had a great time.. laughing at how bad our history have become.

Monday, I forgot to bring my HP out. In the end, I had to get Daddy to send it to cwp to me at 7am. I missed my Point to point transport. Movie at night, NARNIA, omplimentary from swens. They booked the whole grand cathay for the staff, so there were lotsa tickets to go around. I think the movie was nice, a more exciting climax then the 1st episode. I would rate it 4 popcorns out of 5.

Tuesday, my worse nightmare. The greatest fear of a Jurong Islander is to forget the jurong island pass. And I did. I forgot my JI pass, My company smart card and my bus pass. I dun noe what was on my mind that morning, I simply forgotten everything. Its so so so troublesome to get a temporary pass to cross the checkpoint. Even getting out of the checkpt was a hassle. I couldnt take my point to point transport and I had to trouble Isfar to send me to jurong point. Anyway, I was pretty grateful to Shiqi for acccompanying me to make my temp pass and the rest of my collegues to contribute to the ideas on how I can get out of Jurong island with lesser of the troubles. haha...

Friday, another blur day. So far, CPTC training has been fine. kinda boring in fact, we had to find things to do during long breaks. But i do appreciate the experience shared by the trainers, Mr Ho KS and Mr Han. at 415pm, the bus came to pick us up to go back to my company. So I took my things in a hurry and boarded the bus, intending to go back to company to bathe and change. Alas, it was only when I reached the locker area and it suddenly striked me that I left my whole bag of clothes inside my CPTC locker. After much struggle.. I sought help from Isfar AGAIN. haha.. he send me back to wdlands this time round. Thank god he hasnt left.. Cant explain my recklessness and stupidness..

Went to Eskibar with the Swens Peeps, Tianhwee, Valent, Liting, Jiawei, Steve and Pinkoon. My first visit there, I quite like it. a very nice place for friends to chill( literally chill;) and talk. Went to MOS after that to meet Dre and the rest. Liting and Jiawei have not reached the age limit and so they went off to a pub at boat quay. i did miss my girlfriend tho. May was supposed to come.. but she had last min urgent matters.. if not, i tink it will definitely be more more fun! Initial plan was made for a big gathering. Sumhow, lotsa things cope up and aeroplanes flew. haha.. In the end, people who could make it were Andre, YuanXiong, Lianhao,Jieying&bf, Bixia and her 2 friends( xinyi and peilin) plus mi and my sis. My 2 collegues joined us too( joon chye and Shiqi). funfunfun. haha... but i do miss the usual gang.. :)

The trainers printed this out at CPTC and I thought this is pretty worth sharing.

Bill gates 11 rules of life.

RULE 1
Life is not fair - get used to it.

RULE 2
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.

RULE 3
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out
of high school. You won't be a vice president with
car phone, until you earn both.

RULE 4
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a
boss. He doesn't have tenure.

RULE 5
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your
grandparents had a different word for burger flipping
they
called it Opportunity.

RULE 6
If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't
whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

RULE 7
Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as
they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about
how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest
from the parasites of your parent's generation, try
delousing the closet in your own room.

RULE 8
Your school may have done away with winners and losers,
but life has not. In some schools they have abolished
failing grades and they'll give you as many times as
you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the
slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

RULE 9
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get
summers off and very few employers are interested in
helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

RULE 10
Television is NOT real life. In real life people
actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

RULE 11
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for
one.

2008-05-23T20:58:00.016+08:00

21st May 2008 was graduation day. pics of grad day will be loaded.. SOON. haha...Mummy and Valent came to witness my graduation.. daddy couldnt make it at the last min.

Took off and made a trip back to school with my graduation robe. When I reached, the whole auditorium was filled with a sea of blue. It made me recall what I was thinking last year when I saw the seniors taking pics on their graduation day. still one more year to go. and yet, time just flew by, and now, it is my turn. 3 years of tertiary education life has come to an end. It seems like just yesterday when I was making my way to school for the orientation on my very 1st day. In fact, I was feeling lucky that I made this decision 3 years back. It took a lot of courage to quit JC and enroll for polytechnic- to be labelled a JC dropout.

3 years of wonderful memories.. I browsed through my laptop and found a lot of memorable scenes. I am feeling thankful that cameras are so readily available on our phones nowdays. Some shots were taken so randomly, to capture that very moment. Sad to say, no more lectures together, wandering at AMK when there was long breaks in between, Captain's ball,or simply just sitting outside the labs and gossiping with any available lecturers. I will miss knocking onto Adeline Ler's room and bothering her with important and unimportant stuff. I will miss Mr Goh's safety lectures, those interesting games and his deal or no deal stuff.. One of the most difficult modules was AIC, taken by Mr Quek. I remembered that particular practical session that he came and said he realized that my eyes arent always close,they just look sleepy all the time!okay.. erm.. sometimes I was just too laZy to open them bigger. haha...

Here's some pics i uploaded. not in sequence, cos my folders are seriously flooded with pics and I am simply too laZy to sort them out.=P

The 6 weeks of cptc training.waking up early everyday to go throught the jurong island checkpoint. Taking turns to packet food for everyone cos the cafeteria food was indeed CMI. (for ur info, no more cafeteria at cptc-- like finally close down!)

tt's us and mr Han.:)

Creativity wanders when lessons gets boring.
Love the night view at jurong island. hehex.
Cool-totally spastic.

tt's one of my fav pics. celine.. acting like a frog. lolx
guess what was dre doing.. lolx....He was trying to imitate some uncles doing taiji across the block..

Library scenes. I remember meeting pema adrian lester andre and celine to study 2 weeks before the exams. intense chionging helps. :) We were most awake during lunch time.. and we spent time in the NTUC, cracking our heads over what titbits to buy to keep ourselves awake.o man.. i miss mugging with them! there's always dre to ans all my doubts. pema and adrian to discuss those things with. and lester forever blurring.. and celine.. forever asking ppl not to disturb her when she was always the initiator of a conversation.

This is the secret to andre's gd results. scanning the notes with LONG hair. lolx..
Dre's hair used to be so long tt we could actually help him tie it up. and as a matter of fact, he looked like sher's hairstyle! haha..
night outing at orchard during the christmas season.
Camwhoring in the pilot plant..
Sentosa outing! tt was like.. last yr's .. august?

I remembered it being in august becos it was close to dre's birthday. haha..

2008-05-17T11:55:00.004+08:00

blogging seems to be a weekly thing nowdays. cos i am so drained out after a day at work. haha.. ok, i am exaggerating. erm.. so far, we have not started any work. it has all been lectures and orientation stuff. It not very physically tiring, but just mentally.. cos it takes quite a lot of effort and energy to stay awake in classes. lolx. its like back to the CPTC life, where I wake up early to go thru the jurong island checkpt. and now its part and parcel of my everydae life. i am not complaining here. just need a little more time to get used to it and settle down.:)

The company decided to give us a 'treat'. haha.. so we had our 3 days course at Hilton Hotel about indivual effectiveness and cultural appreciation. true enough, its pretty effective, we get to noe the rest of the ppl better.. and realli to appreciate the ACCENT and differences of the nationalities and races. just some serious bonding. lolx.. for the past 3 days, we had fun... and were seriously well fed. haha.. On thursday, there was a department dinner at hardrock cafe. haha.. lotsa managers and high authority ppl. we were just like some small fry sitting around. The dinner was not bad, i ordered bbq chicken. the portion was so big, just by looking at it, u will feel full!

There was a call up for birthday ppl. haha.. there were 3 indians from our company celebrating birthday in the next few days. the hard rock cafe ppl were pretty spontaneous, they actually played Bangla songs for them. we have to admit, Indians are really gd dancers! haha.. the way they really let down and dance. haha.. they are very serious when u talk abt work.. but i saw the fun side of them too. haha..
Shiqi me and Lifen
the group.
lifen was on Mc. so left with the 4 of us. haha.. tt's me, shiqi,Joon chye and Eldwin.

no more hilton hotel. back to jurong island next week.:(

last sunday was mother's day. went shopping with ah ma and mummy. haha.. i cant find a suitable present. so.. i still owe her one present. lolx.

Happy Mother's day!

this is the woman of my life. haha.. the one who drive me craZy with her naggings. touched me with her actions and care for me when i am sick. for everything and everything.. i just want to sae.. i love u mummy.

I saw this at the kids department and I thought of sher and panda. haha.. cute right..
tt's my cute cousin .. haha..

its pretty scary when u on the tv news nowdays. or even just flipping the newspaper. its like its mostly pictures of the victims of the catastrophic earthquake or cyclone . its like the world population is a sudden X- 50000 kind of thing. as I safely sit in front of the com and post this entry, how many more bodies were found. Thank god we live in singapore. cant imagine if this happen here. its like.. it could have destroyed the whole country just like the snap of a finger. i find these natural diaster a lot more scary den terrorist of any kind. its unavoidable and it just hit the countries hardly, like s smack of the face. i wonder how long will ppl take to recover from this calamity. it gives us all a awakening call that we should noe how lucky we all are.

2008-05-11T11:44:00.002+08:00

it's been a week since I started work. like celine said, we are working adults now! haha..

been meeting new ppl. haha.. the female population amongst the new hires is like pretty pathetic. Haha.. like 6 females outta 45. the 39 comprises of 50%Indian technician( direct import from India) 40% Malays and the remaining being chinese. sounds so unproportional yar. anyway, happy to see Selina on the 1st day. its like.. so nice to see a sec sch friend cum netball team mate cum same course mate to be a future collegue! :)

Anyways, went to sch to collect the graduation robe. and I threw it aside already. lolx. 21st-graduation day. omg. lolx. on the journey back to sch, sumhow.. it do make mi feel like so Old. lolx.. we have graduated! no more reports to chiong, tests to study. at least for now. no more slacking in the canteen and gossiping with the lectures. I really do miss the lectures, esp ppl like mr liew, ms ler, mr Quek and all.

Wed. Watched Run Papa Run at AMK hub with CG. hmph.the movie itself wasnt realli that fantastic. just a normal gangster father turning for the good kind of storyline. just that louis koo is freaking handsome.. and very MAN! haha..

It gave me assurance that I made the correct choice. No regrets. :)

Last Friday was a 'gathering' with CPT peeps. People came include Celine, Andre, Lester, Jason, Pema Jieying and Bixia. Dine dine at Hongkong Cafe at Cineleisure. Friday, at dinner time, the space was pretty constrained. so we were given a very cosy corner. so cosy that celine and me were trying to synchronise how to take turn and use the left and right hand at the correct timing so that we wun bang into each other. haha.. den we went to take neoprints. lolx.

its always fun with them alr.

Anyway, Mummy left for thailand on friday, coming back on tues. Meantime, lotsa things to be taken care of. haha..and i would sae.. valent makes a gd Mum! haha.. she does everything my mum does.. haha.. so she nags at me too. lolx.. =P

Sat- Watch Forbidden Kingdom With Weilun. Awesome kingfu. just some awkwardness with the Sun Wu kong speaking in English. haha..

Sunday. Scheduled to work 5-11. in the end, i had to go work at 9am. worked 9-9. tiring. vivian's finally back to work. and she work 10-10. haha.. 1st time, I got Viv and Valent to be same station as me. the only thing tt sux.. was the cough. hmph
Girlfren had to be 'summoned' down to Tampines Mall the very last minute. shortage of staff. New outlet. high sales uh. lolx..

Mam Doris is quitting by mother's day. The new RM came down to take over ysd. petite size young lady. hmph. Looking at mam doris handing over the stuff reminds me of mam jane. the scene that she was handing over things to mam doris flashed back into my mind. very clear.. and its seemed like just yesterday. Although I am not affected by the new RM cos by that time, i dun noe if I am still working here. let's just cross our fingers that.. hopefully, its a chance to meet another great person. Hope so.
