ugly news from the morning ::

been very busy recently, so busy that i didn't even buy my biz times to update myself, read my favourite National Brochure. had been making calls all day(s) long, rushing here and there (and last sunday had been the worst), been through a few ironical make-you-grow-up experiences.

now, i know one of the ways to xiao li cang dao - that is, to hide a dagger in midst of a smile.

the story goes like this...

yesterday, agent D, called me up in regards to this unit he'd brought his client to see on sunday. he told me, his client was interested to make an offer and asked me what's the reserved price my client would let go. being young and innocent, (haha, really, in this respect that is) i told him the price the owner wanted to let go, plus another $10k. subsequently, boss called to say this agent D went to approach the owner himself to try and undercut us.

eeks!! hope he develops a bad body ordour on his corpus body. to think he was so friend-ly and nice to me whilst trying to dig out information from me. so smelly!!!!! geesh, it IS a lesson to be learnt, cos actually all the while, throughout my conversation with him, he did hint very strongly that it is a cut throat industry and even friends do undercut each other. he's a 9,10,11 district agent by the way, so be ware of piggish looking suspicious characters unleashing their stench unethically.

okay. shall learn to be smarter and talk less.

but on the other hand, i didn't really want to be the meanie around. cos its so tiring to be fighting a war in front and trying to cover your own backside, you get what i mean? and since we don't have exclusive to that unit, we're in a vulnerable position, unless well, we have loads and loads of cash stashed away somewhere to advertise.

hmm..

we can work around it. and we will work around it.

the himbo said ::

my best himbo guy friend said this: actually it's a guys thing to be interesting mah... gals just need to giggle giggle can liao... bleh....

just when i was thinking im like feeling really bored and mundane in the midst of all internet chatting.

hm, okay, so i shall have to learn how to be giggly from now on. *giggles*

hur hur..

bits and pieces of the past ::

after baptism service was bp dinner. yes, i gate crashed lah. anyway, it was too late to buy tickets and it will probably be a waste of money since i reached only at the 3nd last course methinks. but me, being the greedy one.. and buay pai seh one, cobed one mango pudding for dessert. hahaha.. not bad le. considered tan dio liao.

anyway, i didn't know our fatherly SM Goh was there, though i vaguely remembered Sim Wong Hoo going while reading saturday's newspapers. twas stopped by police at my schol gates and silly me, i thought they were npcc police juniors trying to be funny with me.

more to come.. very tired now..

Part II. felt quite nostalgic while in BP. Those places seemed so familar yet unfamiliar at the same time.. and well, everyone has moved on. even the tress in BP had grown taller. i can still remember standing under the hot sun during PE, cos there was no shade from the trees..

was looking around for the guy with the nice back view. but i didn't see him. hm. well.

anyway, hahaha, someone commented that that was only one of the few times the school song was sung with so much gusto. and yay! i haven't forgot the tune and lyrics. hahhaa.. before that, the wayang was quite deafening.

honestly speaking, even though im proud of my secondary school, but i think our school is still quite stagnant, like haven't had a breakthrough for years. they should try for SAP. being autonomous isn't quite enough if you asked me. jewel commented that our school is quite diversified in the sense that we have a braod spectrum of standards of students and their race, which makes us really like a mini singapore. quite cool right?

did some networking.. then went off.

by the way, saw Sim Wong Hoo up close. i think he looked very stressed.. maybe its because of the Creative stocks. ma chiam he'll faint any moment. hai.. so poor thing right? anyway really quite thankful that he gave face and graced the event. i think the school has been wanting to re-connect with him for like the longest time. hahah.. gee..

baptism back in church.. hokkien!! ::

really very happy to be at church yesterday (saturday). it was really interesting - whole service is conducted in hokkien and in bits of chinese since the people getting baptised are based in the english congregation and had chosen to be baptised in the hokkien ministry because of their parents. it was almost like my rebirth in Christ! okay lah, not to that extent, but i'm trying to rediscover my interest in the Word. felt very inspired. also because the "famous school singer" sent me a note after the bp dinner to encourage me.

anyway, the whole ai pia jya e iya song was converted into another worship song, which was honestly, quite close to the heart. hahaha.. my parents era's song. really what, anyway, the whole congregation was full of old people and people of my parent's generation, so i supposed its an effective way to reach them too! i believe that God had used this creative method to reach out to them, perhaps a generation which is so possibly entrenched in another religion. but anyway, i pray that that congregation will continue to grow in numbers. quite critical as hm, to be practical, those people would probably meet the Lord faster than us, youngsters if you go by statistics.

i should really go back more frequently. God, help me okay!!! ^^

sick and tired ::

i blogged a long post about today.. which was a damn bad day. and in the end, blogspot failed on me and the post was gone!

its just not meant to be man. hahahaa..

La Olympus ::

was just wondering if singapore were to host olympics..

we'll house the olympian-wanna-bes in a 60 storey HDB called La Olympus, complete with a conceige below. and each unit will not have unit numbers! they'll be named after the olympians-wannabes who stayed there during the whole week.

and the hdb valuation of those units whose tenants became olympians would be higher. heh..

rejection lines! :O ::

haha... i'd discovered this!

10. I think of you as a brother. (You remind me of that f**king pest. And I'm not into incest either.)

9. There's a slight difference in our ages. (You are one jurassic geezer.)

8. I'm not attracted to you in 'that' way. (You are the ugliest freak I've ever laid eyes upon.)

7. My life is too complicated right now. (I don't want you spending the whole night or else you may hear phone calls from all the other guys I'm seeing.)

6. I've got a boyfriend (He's my male cat and a half gallon of Ben and Jerry's).

5. I don't date men where I work. (Actually, I wouldn't even date you if you were in the same 'solar system', much less the same building.)

4. It's not you, it's me. (It's not me, it's you.)

3. I'm concentrating on my career. (Even something as boring and unfulfilling as my job is better than dating you.)

2. I'm celibate. (I've sworn off only the men like you.)

1. Let's be friends. (I want you to stay around so I can tell you in excruciating detail about all the other men I meet and have fun with. It's that male perspective thing)

oh no, i think i've used a couple of those lines before. oh, wo hen bad hor? hahaha.. oops.

ic ic ic ::

after 4 months of restlessness.. i finally got my ic made. to my surprise, the ica is really efficient and guess what, cos my case was some pick pocket case, haha, i paid only $60 bucks, not $100 or $300 (gasps!, who paid $300 to get their ic replaced?), but only $60!!! Government is so good to meee!! (this year i can vote already you know! *hint hint*) i was wondering around the ica building and i was quite overwhelmed by being a singaporean and actually felt a bit shameful for not having my pink ic. :P okay, i get these patriotic bouts. /me i see those people in NS giving me the evil eye. haha.. i couldn't help singing those national day songs when i was looking at those children's drawings!! ooops. i was humming quite softly lah and made sure no one heard me, else they would be thinking that this girl is siao.

very happy also, cos i'd updated my particulars, im legally a christian. wahahha.. and my chinese characters would be stored in the database, and in the database, im no longer a primary 6xer. haha.. and most importantly, hahah.. i would have a nice ic photo instead of the usual ugly one!! good! cos i can use the photo i took for the namecards - those corporate shots! i will be very proud of it and starts flashing it around. the only bad thing is scarly the people at the customs won't recognise me. wahahhaa..

had lunch with jewel and mom. very thankful that jewel took time out to eat with me, but sorry for ranting at you. i need to go for emotional detox i know.

big irony or what? ::

hm, my CGL sent me an email. CGL as in cell group leader. i dunno if its me or what, but i think he sounded quite resigned. and at the same time, he's quite decided on what he says. on not having enough resources to take care of errant flock like me. okay lah, i used the word errant flock on myself lah.. he didn't say that.

okay, for your info, i haven't been going to church or CG for quite a while. like i'd told xuel, just now, who by the way is also an CGL in her own church, i just don't feel right in the CG. as in.. i felt like i'm forced to acknowledge them to be my best friends overnight or something save for a few.

i wonder really how many of them know me. know me as in know me. not even my good friends know me if you get what i mean. if you think you know me through reading my blog, i don't think you know me too. even minute things which displeases me, or makes me happy, i don't think some of my friends know.

i want to go church. but my schedule doesn't permit me and i'm not ready - i want to go willingly, with a true intention to enjoy worshipping God and receive spiritual input, not go to church and sleep. so, the email to me appears to be some form of ultimatum complete with a deadline. okay, maybe you may think that those are excuses, but im sick of it lah. you can say im sick of trying to be good, if not better.

God knows these. He's planning a right time for me to pick up His Word and Wisdom again. I will not live on borrowed faith anymore. Soon.

1 wedding and 2 pictures ::

oh okay lah.. its quite old, and if i put in more effort, i can do it myself. hahah, i'd added pictures to my blog finally. but the animated gif doesn't work leh.. i think its because blogspot only allows smaller resolution pictures.

my laopa got married already!!!!!! congrats!! as in my poly good friend jiushou got married last last saturday with his girlfriend (my laoma!!!) of 4 years i think. Congrats!! The ceremony was really simple and sweet and it was held in aloha loyang chalet. you can say its a beach wedding, cos its right beside the beach. haha.. nice! and their friends were really sweet and i am officially part of their pseudo family. hahaha.. okay a tat dumb but they really nag at me like my parents you know. and they've got me a psuedo nanny! haha..

went to the "big" digital fair at harbourfront today. am really tempted to buy this digital camera for $109! 5 mega pixels you know!! but honestly, i was a bit relunctant, cos the brand is really unheard of. not that im so brand conscious, but i would know where to go to should the camera spoil.. and i wouldn't want to buy anything on impulse, so in the end, i didn't buy anything at all. but it was fun.. to just shop. goodness knows how long i haven't been shopping. yes, not even the great singapore sale. see, im such a guai girl. someone give me a shopping voucher!! hahaha...

puppies galore ::

argh! but i still want to rant!! singtel sucks! hope their shares continue to drop and they'll be crush under their dropping index!

went to reactivate my brother's account and they told me they needed my ic. good grief. can't they just get those red tapes away? do they mean i can evolve into their mother or what?! *roll eyes*

okay, enough of those stupid and make-people-grouchy incidents.

went to my colleague's place for his baby's 1st month! hahaa.. the baby's soo sooo cute! okay. check this out. /me points below.



so cute right? and his doting father compiled some of hic pictures into the animated gif.

anyway, after seeing the baby, we went to another colleague's place (which was just upstairs) and i was bombarded by a brood of shih tzus!! there were like 6 of them! goodness.. crowding around me. okay, im not a big fan of shih tzus, but im a dog lover nonetheless, so it was really nice and happy to have so many dogs around you.

by the way, jewel's got a jack russel which was super duper hyper.

i want my xiao bai back!!!!!! i douch care!!
