LAST DAY OF WORK!!!

ITS MY LAST DAY OF WORK!!! and wat better way to start off the day then to get half drenched when coming to work....haha.... juz hope i dun fall ill... heez...

Yesterday had a really long day... not at work of coz, work was boring yesterday, had nothing else to do already, so actually spend the whole time rotting, surfing the net and chit chatting... After work, went to yishun still considering whether to cut my hair anot... so decided to go look for May (who is rebonding her hair at yishun) along with Xiu (came down from orchard), while waiting for xiu to arrive, couldn't resist the temptation of all the shops around me, so went to do some window shopping while waiting for Xiu (making full use of time mah...) saw a pair of puma shoes, rather nice was added on in my "to buy" list but later taken off once i tried its on and didn't find it very nice on me... okok enough on shopping... when Xiu arrived, we went to look for may... there we discuss if i should get my hair cut... After a "short board meeting", the conclusion was to leave my hair till after my graduation ceremony which is this coming thursday... so we sitted there and waited for "Ms GORGEOUS" to be done with her hair... she actually have rather long hair man, maybe because she ties them up so often so never really notice.... When its done, it look abit weird, but after awhile of getting use to, its pretty ok... Went to have dinner at the food court after that... then set around chit chatting on what to wear for the concert and all, after that went for a little walk before heading home, Xiu and me took the train (she was heading to novena, so i tot i accompany her there then i carry on to doby ghaut and change NEL home since i have the time), while may took the bus... On the train, recieve a call from herbert asking me if i wan to catch a movie, since there was time, i agreed... my phone was on the "verge of death" (low batt) when he called... so headed to somerset to get tickets for "House of Flying Daggers" 11:40 movie... after that, tried calling them on the dying phone to inform them where i would be, but i can't, found out that u cannot make calls out with ur phone is low on batt, luckily managed to send out a simple sms to them and divert my calls to herbert's phone before it "rest in peace"... Roam around the arcade as there is the place i told them to meet... felt so lost without using hp man, juz so in secure and "isolated from the outside world"... heez... When they finally came, we grab some drinks and was into the movies we go... The show i would say was not bad, its wasn't as good as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, however its have a good case and have good scencery... there was also part of the movies that is somewhat similar to sense i saw in other movie (like LOTR, WU Jian Dao, Matrix, etc) overall not a bad show... The show ended at 2, so after that, herbert was feeling abit hungry, so we headed off to chomp chomp for some food as it closes at 3 am, when we reach there... to our surprise it was already closed... onli a group of pple having beer, all stall have already closed... so as we were tinking of heading home when herbert remembered another prata nearby, so went to had a few prata then head home... reached home at about 3 someting, took a quick shower and was off to bed....

This morning, woke up at a quater pass 8, have a cold shower to refresh myself (which didn't really work...still feeling rather tired...) go change and headed to work... the weather was ok when i left the house, the weather was ok, cloudy and rather windy, but as soon as i reached chinatown, i could "smell" dampness in the air and immediately i could tell it is raining... True enough its was pouring cats and dogs... and that is not the worse thing... the worse thing was i haven got an umbrella with me... haiz... have to walk the long route to work and also get abit drench as there is some place that haven had shelter... before going into office, grab breakfast downstairs and a "stronger" coffee (rather stuggling to keep myself awake now, with the weather like that...) This morning, nothing to do liao...so it more like here to pass time and hopefully get my pay... heez... After work today, think they are going to have a mini farewell party for me... cannot stay for too long also, and should be off home, if time allows really hope to catch an hour of slp if not i will really slp in the concert hall tonight man... oh yah forget to mention, will be attending a concert tonite, MUSIC FROM THE HEARTS 2004, performed for last year, attending for this year as an audience... heez... dresscode for tonite would be how i dressed for my prom night... everyone say to wear formal...so i cannot too "han suan" also... Wah...last day leh.... really going to miss this place, this computer, the pple here, everything man... Really thankful to everyone here, been an enjoyable few months here... really glad to be working with u guys and hope there is still chance in the future... *sob... OK lah.....guess this ends of my chapter of blog for the day lah... the last time i am going to write blog using this computer i guess (still remember i started off the blog here....heez...) okok better stop before i too gan dong and start to tear liao.... will try to blog as frequently as possible after this... BYE!!!

Friday.....a haircut???

2nd Last day liao..... very sian in office donno wat to do now... though been assigned some work liao, but i have already finished it (efficient eh....lolx)

Yesterday band prac was ok.... for the first half that is, was more focused i would say, but after the break felt my body was "burning" from the inside (like a fever is coming up or something...) spoiled my mood totally man... "off form" i would say, but made a great discovery yesterday, which is in Sherine and Andy Tan, both of their tones were superb last night.... haven heard such good tones in a long time... felt "inferior" last night i would say... haha... And their skill was equally impressive, used to tink Andy tan skill was "average", but only yesterday that i really see the "power" in him when we played swan lake, he is a player with great potential man... really an asset to the flute section... As for Sherine, she is really impressive too last night when we played phantom of the opera, was making a recording and one portion of the song she execute is pretty well, but she still say its not good... i personally feels its good (maybe because i can't play it ba....haha).. Overall, with people like Sherine, the Andies in the band.... i dare make a bold comment that if they practise hard and groom the year one well, the Flutes section can and will be the best section in the entire band... wa ha ha ha.... okok enough about my section liao... Back to blogging... heez... after band, spend abit of time chit chatting before leaving the bandroom.... was drizzling so had to go by the front gate... walked with Xiu xiu who waited for me (thx leh xiu) heez... Escorted her to the mrt, before heading off to my bus stop (where i met up with the rest of them....) Got home at about close to 11, have my dinner, and longang ("long yan" in chinese) for desserts...big and juicy man yum yum =P after that, went took my shower, then waited for my hair to dry off before heading to bed...

This morning, woke up at 7:30, donno y, my juz open at the dot... and since it was still so early i tried to get back to slp, but no matter how i tossed and turned, i juz can't seem to get back to slp.... and when i finally did, my alarm rang, its was time to wake up... asking for it right... anyway pull myself up and prepare for the brand new day the awaits me... was abit moody at first (due to the slping incident) but slowly subsided... won't let a small thing like that spoil my mood for the weekends lolx... Bought breakfast to the office this morning, Tea and toast, was not bad lah... at least something to fill my tummy for awhile... finally got new chairs... the one i used to use have a faulty back rest, so always having this backache after each day... at least get to enjoy the new chairs for the last couple of days... heez... I am really feel to the extend that i am already thinking of wat i should do after work... tinking of getting a haircut (coz the back is getting abit long) but triming won't be too worthwhile considering that i am going to turn botak soon, but wat hairstyle can i cut then.... haiz... well at least there is something to keep me busy for awhile...shall take one step at a time and see how things goes then... if really no plans then go home early and have meeting with Mr. zhou i guess (not aston zhou arh.... zhuo gong....=D) Anyway, having a cough now.... had starfruit juice juz now....hopefully it will be better, got vick's cough drop also...determine to get it better man... heez... Alright then... guess thats all for today folks... will blog again tml then... Sayonara!!!

Thursday.....2 more days...

*Cough cough*... haiz... think going to fall ill soon, last three days in the office liao (including today)... already starting to miss the pple already... heez...

Yesterday was the first time after a long while that i gone back home straight after work... Got home, sat down and had dinner, mummy made nasi bryani (donno if this is how its spell =p), curry chicken and fish... had 2 big plates of it, not a single grain of rice left... heez... then while watching tv, started sorting out photos that i have redeveloped... Feel really bloated from all the good food i had, so stop the things i have been doing, put on my jogging shoes and went downstairs for a walk (to help digest the food)... was tinking of jogging, but afraid that i might puke, i gave up the idea... had a brisk walk instead... From the walking, its was rather quiet and there was a gentle breeze, so was tinking what have been happening today and this passed few weeks... thinking of the happy time, fustrating times, down moments and all... was a good walk i would say.... reflected alot... After that, when my stomach is less bloated, return home to continue with my stuff... from 10 to 12 mn, i was sorting out the photos... took me quite awhile didn't it.... well there were 9 rolls in total and alot of photos... heez... after that... took a quick shower... wipe dry and was straight off to bed...

Today, work as usual.... as the days goes by.... workload seems to be getting lesser and lesser... just feeling relieved that i am finally gonna "regain my freedom"... on the other hand, gonna miss all that have been happening... being infront of the com all day, multi tasking, hearing david laugh his guts out (lolx...) haiz....gonna really miss all this.... but well life still goes on... already have plans for the next 2 weeks.... going to prepare myself (both mentally and physically) for NS.... jia you ba... will see how its goes... After work will be band prac... can't wait, hope its gonna be fun... been trying to enjoy each of this practise as they pass, i haven't got many practise left... but at the rate it is going, its seems that there is nothing i have to worry about leaving behind... my job here is more or less done i guess... very encouraging... its sad to think that such wonderful times is gonna be over real soon, only starting to really know those people in band and bond together that i have to leave... well.... fond memories will be with me for life....no regrets i guess... Thought of leaving sometimes makes tears roll in my eyes (even when i am a guy, i can get emotional sometimes lah), gonna really miss each and everyone of my frens man... *sigh... Okok, lets change topic... making it sounds like i am going to somewhere far and no longer coming back... hahaha...ok lah... guess i have to get back to work liao lah....last three days left (2 days and 3 hrs to be precise...) buai for now!!!

Mid week liao.... very fast

Good Noon pple, its mid week again... tot of blogging earlier today, so that i won't end up like yesterday.... =P

Anyway, yesterday made a few trip (during office hours) to the photo studio to get my photos, but both time i was rejected (stating the photos was not really) got quite impatient, but told them i would collect it the today, coz dun wan them to rush through and do a lousy job... after work, went for band practise, there is many people and Fantasy Variation is starting to form... so happy for them... at least more effort have been place... "Reap what you sow" that is what my secondary school always used to tell us... And i really hope those that put in effort for practise really reap what they sow... Other then Fantasy variation, we also played Swan Lake the orcheatra version... it is a very nice piece, really like it... thought alot of effort have to be put into it... but first encounter with the piece is a good one... Apart from getting more attached to the band... think i am getting rather attached to the Altus flute as well... cause the sound it produce is so fantastic.... haha going to miss "her"(my altus) i think...hahaha... okok enough of flute liao lah.... after band.... slow walked out alone to the band room, actually wasn't really alone, was with "the andies" actually... quite enjoyable lah.... When got home, everything is pretty much the same, makan, shower, then tv... heez... guess all my blog reader should know by now liao lah... wahhaha... after that is off to bed...

This morning, first mission was to collect the photo (costing me close to 90 bucks...haiz...), then in work today is more slack, guess is because "my time here is getting shorter" liao ba... so dare not assign too much to me... Anyway juz trying to enjoy every bit of my time here lor... is actaully feeling rather moody today... fan ba i guess... getting it more and more often nowadays... donno why... becoz of the things happening around me??? army??? or wat??? i really cannot tell... that is the most fan part i guess... someting really wish to confine it to some someone... but thinking about it.... why make someone else life miserable by listening to me talk crap right... so guess i will keep it to myself then... heez... as Uncle dennis will say "Kai xing jiu hao" and i always believe in taking things as it comes... so hopefully "Ming tian hui gen hao ba" heez... after work today....still have no plans... donno wat to do... dun tink i wan to roam around town like zombie lah... so will be good boy and go home early today ba... ok lah... i guess thats all i have then.... everyone have a nice day and hope all you wish for comes true then... TAKE CARE... and LOVE YA LOTS!!!

Another day have passed

Hi there pple, have been "busy" the entire day, thats y i am blogging only now... hope u guys dun mind... heez...

Yesterday, was tinking of catching the movie "House of Flying Daggers" but no one was interested and my best movie couple, Xiu and ZX is BROKEN (Defn: More broke then broke --> term used by Xiu), so the plan was called off, and since there wasn't any other plans, so decide to go home early. When i was at chinatown MRT, got a call from Xiu, asking me to go orchard as zx wants to do some shopping for clothing... was reluctant to go at first, but after awhile, juz went to meet them anyway, since i won't have anyting to do at home, so wat the heck...=P. Met them at OP (wistma) before continue with "our mission". Stop at levis, when a pair of shoes caught my eyes, its was really unique, a nice combination of denim and leather, cost about close to 200 bucks, thinking of buying but will have to wait till i get my pay lah...heez... meanwhile, it will have to go into my "to buy" list lah... As we proceed window shopping, my "to buy" list seems to be growing as there is more and more things i seem to like, (that is the thing with window shopping i guess)... Yesterday seems more like me and xiu shopping as we were looking at our things more then zx is *grinz... lucky he bought something in the end, if not will feel very bad... heez... Our last stop was at HMV, stayed there and listen to music for close to an hour... heez... Heard Wu Bai "AI NI YI WAN NIAN" live concert series, blasted it so loud it sounded so like i was there live (the same as when i attended he concert when he was in Singapore the last time), after that move on to classical music, listen to a few jazz cd, was very nice... naturally...more things in my "to buy" list liao le lah.. heez... after that is about 10 plus and by the time i got home was close to 11, had dinner, then bananas for dessert, took a shower, watch abit of tv (Shi zi lu kou) and went to bed...

This morning, overslept, its either i forget to set my alarm or my alarm dua me... open my eyes, its was already 9:05am, rush like mad, didn't even bothered to put on contacts today... lucky still manage to make it to work by 9:45 (power ba... wahahah)... there is quite abit or work today, plus the time i took to accomplish them, the day have already passed... was rather quick today... shortly after this should be going for band.... then everything after that guess u all know liao lah...heez... anyway...guess thats all i have for the day then...blog again tml !!!

1 week to go...

Start of a new week, and the start of the last week working for this company.... should i be happy or not? i am not sure... heez...

Last weekend wasn't the best i weekend i had. After work on saturday, rush down to kallang river for dragon boat training, was all ready but when i got there, no one from the team was there... not even the canadians (usually train about the same time) was there... was rather angry as i wasn't informed that training have been postpone yet again... but will i wasn't the onli one who got cheated... Arron (another guy from the team) also came down, we waited for awhile before making a leave. Arron drove, so it wasn't that bad for him, as for me, its a long bus ride home from kallang man... anyway, sort off cooled down in the bus so wasn't really bothered about it after that, too tired to be bothered about it too i guess... got home took a shower and rotted infront of the tv... day seems to pass slow when u are rotting, really "tu mao ru nian"... but at about 7 plus, my eyes couldn't stay ok no longer, so decided to call it a day (abit early right u muz be tinking) anyway, slp at 7 close to 8 (was like the timing i slpt on the first day in bathrust, but there it was 9 plus 10 due to the time lapse =P). Got up at about 4am in the morning... and was really awake by then... Since i could think of anyting else i can do, i watch Television for a couple of hours before forcing myself back into bed and slp till about 9am in the morning... practically slept close to 12 hours man... heez... making up too all the loss of slp for the past week i guess... Sunday was as boring i guess... rotted at home as well... didn't have any plans so was juz slacking the day off... Evening was better as there were more programs on tv to watch, like channel 5 was showing X-men, channel i was showing some old killer bee film, and channel 8 there was "tai qi zhang san feng". All was equally good so was practically "channel hopping" catching a glimps of all...after that was news... then "zong yi da ge da" but by then had some matters on hand so didn't watch much of it... did my stuff to close to 3 am, then go to bed... didn't have a good start to the weekend... but lucky the end of it wasn't that bad... *wink...

Today is ok, manage to get up from bed rather easy despite the late night... maybe had my fair share of slp over the weekend le ba...=P, anyway morning is great, not raining anymore, hopefully its won't rain, but the sky is abit gloomy though, hmm... final week in this office, then wil be 2 weeks of break for me before "going in". So guess will be "organizing things" in my com i guess and sort out all "unfinished business". And since i will no longer have access to computer everyday, i might not be blogging everyday... tot i should tell u guys in advance so as to not disappoint all my loyal blog readers out there... heez... but will promise to blog as often as possible before i "go in" lar...*grinz... Oh got 2 news to share with everyone, especially for Harry Potter and Jay Chow fan. First Harry Potter Book 6: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is on the way!!! but time of launch have not been confirm... Next Jay Chow Jie Lun latest album to launch on the 3th of Augest 2004 pre-ordering is already on the way, and heard its selling like hot cakes... heez... okok, enough on entertainment news, now back to my blog... hmm....work is still as usual, but the workload for me is no longer that heavy, guess its maybe i am leaving so they dun allocate that much work for me... so i have more time to blog i guess... wah ha ha (evil laugh)... drama arh... heez... Now doing some review on documentations and also more research... so kinda lack lor...have to spread things more evenly so that time will pass faster... =P Erm...cannot really think of anything else to blog liao... so far there isn't any plan for me after work, hoping to catch a movie (house of flying dagger maybe) but yet to find any kaki... shall see how later then...So exciting... made a dedication to 933 and heard it being read out... was so cool... not sure how many of u guys hear it... was so fun heez... alright then... guess thats all i have to say for today then.... keep in touch all... love u all very much... buai!!!
