come out come out wherever you are

i was never really good with safekeeping my things

i lose my mobile phone so often sometimes i don’t even know why i bother buying new ones since i forget to bring it out anyway

i don’t wear earrings anymore because one side of the earring will drop out everytime i bathe or go out or sleep or just walking around leaving 1 side of all my pairs of earrings

i didn’t lose my necklace because that would be rather impossible but i stopped wearing them because it either gets tangled with my towel or shirt or something and whenever i tries to entangle it will break off wtf i’m so rough like that

i have this ring. more of a band. not a ring. which i’ve been wearing since 8 years ago.

i’ve never taken this ring out, never. it has been sitting safely on the ring finger of my left hand. not when i shower. not when i go to the beach. not when i do cleaning. not when i cook. it was there for soooooo long it became part of the finger and sometimes i didn’t realize i even had something on wtf

the other day i was spreading butter on my bread and accidentally dirtied my fingers so i took out the ring and clumsily trying to place the ring beside the sink. the next thing i know the ring dropped into the sink and the running water washed it down.

i stood there for what seems like 5 minutes shocked and not knowing what to do. so i turned the water off. i opened up the U-bend trap trying to recover it but it’s no where in sight.

gave up after 5 minutes of digging. and spent the whole night mourning over my loss.

tried again the next day, took out the whole bend thing, poured out every little dirt inside and WHOA LAA!! there it is! sitting at the bottom of the bend covered up by some don-know-what-gross-thing.

PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW…..cleaned it smiling and feeling satisfaction all over.

after scrubbing it and drying it, i carefully place it on my bed amongst all other things like my laundry my bags my magazines books (ya my bed is so big i can practically put everthing on it and still have space to sleep)

i took a shower, changed, cleaned the room, surfed, read the magazine, turn off the light, sleep.

what?

so what happen to the ring? yes i totally forgot about it. i switched the light back on, frantically searching for it, and it’s nowhere in sight. NO WHERE IN SIGHT. i searched high and low here and there.

yes people. my ring has decided to mysteriously hide itself again. i still couldn’t find it until today ya allah

why oh why please come out wherever you are WTF things tend to show up when you’re not looking so i pretended to not look for it ya right wtf

we’ll see if the theory works in a couple of days T_________T

*—–*—–*——*—–*—–*—–*—–*—–*—–*—–*——*—–*—–*

okay boring things aside

i went for my team’s dinner the other day

food sucks and all, and this lobster is the only dish i think is edible, of course besides the fried rice

img_0421.jpg

the place came with free karaoke set so our first volunteer to show off their *ehem *ehem talent is..who else but my dear kokwei & fatboylim?

img_0422.jpg

me, shu, yien & huiChyn who were placed at the same table

img_0450.jpg

my table+ illegal table immigrant fatboy and kokwei

img_0463.jpg

i don’t know what kind of sign they’re trying to do

img_0464.jpg

halfway through we realize pey is not in any of the photo HOW CAN so we shouted for her and here you go

img_0466.jpg

almost all the bosses went up to sing except my big boss who was sitting quietly at my table. we kept trying to convince him to sing and made all kinds of promises like we will back him up if he ever go up and sing, we’ll go up and dance

he did -_-” and he even called out for my name when i chickened out so i went forward but kept standing at the side trying to hide myself wtf

and this fatboy standing next to me kept on pushing me to go in front and dance wtf half way through the song you can see the 4 guys in front arguing who should sing with my boss damn funny

joan hearts robots now

February 25, 2008 · 2 Comments

*edited: after i posted this entry i got so many replies and responses in return. and everyone commented on how ugly it is. REALLY THAT BAD AH *sob T____T why la are u guys so bad? give me a break i think it’s cute in a …well…ugly sense..i’m trying hard okay boo i’m gonna buy more robots because practise makes perfect wtf

i have no idea and no liking for figurines or robots at all. like seriously, who would wanna spend time fixing some stupid robot when i can go shopping or play mahjong right wtf wtf

but i spent my first ever 3 hours doing this Keroro Gunso for Kel and i totally have no idea how to get started and the stupid instructions are all in Japanese wtf so i had to call up Yien so he could brief me through it and borrow me his cutter

the finished product came out pretty horrible T_______T i had a hard time fixing the parts together and more so the stickers are damn horrendous okay the stupid robot is so small and the sticker is like damn mini okay how the hell am i supposed to paste them nicely on the robot T_____T wtf

but hey! it’s my first ever attempt okay what do you expect

robot-008.jpg

ya u get what i mean right all the stickers are rippled WHY LA SO UGLY AHAHAHA can you see the eyes for the mini keroro so funny okay i cannot get them to be flat okay T______________T

robot-011.jpg

back view

robot-012.jpg

i don’t know why the robot CANNOT STAND FIRM it’s like so unstable and if you move the leg a bit it will fall okay wtf T______T and it takes too much effort to take out everything and re-assemble so i guess i just have to live with it and accept that i’m not talented

robot-021.jpg

AND YOU KNOW WHAT

someone doesn’t like it okay T__________T he complained so much about how sucks it is and that i should have done this and done that and that i am skill-less wtf and that he could do better and that i should not have done it and should have left it for him to do

boo. waste my time only

but somehow i got so addicted to assemble robots that i sort of bought a few more so i could spend time duh what a geek i’m turning into

Jes’s turning 2X

February 24, 2008 · 3 Comments

it was Jes’s surprise birthday party on Friday. it was our very first surprise birthday party and the plan was to have Jes go shopping at 5.30pm, we get to Linus’s house at 6pm, get the catered food at 630pm, and Jes will come back at 7pm.

turn out, we arrive at Linus’s at 8pm wtf the traffic was quite bad. no that was an excuse, the truth is we left home late. and Linus had a hard time trying to keep Jes in the mall until 8 and he kept texting us to hurry up. he even had to fake toilet visits so he could buy more time

we waited in the living room with balloons without lights and fans.

and people kept trying to shut me and shan up coz we kept talking when we’re not supposed to because people could hear us outside wtf

when i hear about the taiwan marriage proposal on having all the dormitories light to turn on/off at the same time to make a LOVE shape, i was like ooOooo cool

when i hear about the guy who went to cameron and fill up his car with roses then drove back to PG on the same night to give it to a girl and ended up getting rejected anyhow, i thought that was funny

when i hear about the guy who booked the whole cinema and in the midst of a movie in front of strangers, the screen played ‘will u marry me’, i thought that was cheesy

when i hear about this,

proposal.jpg

happy valentine’s!

February 13, 2008 · 3 Comments

“in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, at least that’s what they say. he created the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and look at His creation, and He saw that it was good. and then God created men. and it has been downhill ever since.

the story goes on to say that God created men from his own image but that’s not much proof of that afterall God made the sun and the moon and the stars and all men make is trouble”

LOL isn’t that true

well well well

its time of the year for the most annoying celebration again

so Yien was asking me if he should give me flowers since everyone in office would probaby get something and i’ll be damn pressured okay ahaha wtf

and when i go to my grandma’s during CNY, there’s always the most disturbing question ‘do you have a bf’ and when i said no then they’ll ask me how old i am and will act very surprised when they hear how OLD i am then they’ll give me the long lecture that why i should not be so choosy at this age WTF

ok so tomorrow im gonna act very sick in office so nobody would come and ask me where are my flowers wtf

cupid_dead.jpg

screw cupid *resentful wtf ahaha

nola i’m not gonna spoil the valentine’s okay happy valentine’s people have a great one!

a thankful note

February 11, 2008 · 12 Comments

everyone likes christmas. because of the christmas trees. christmas carols. mistletoes. christmas gifts. christmas shoppings. the whole lovey dovey season.

but Chinese New Year is not that bad either. even though sometimes the CNY music blasting from all the shops and malls can be horrendous.

this is the time of the year where i get a long break and get to be at home with all the other family members, while feeling grateful of everything i have.

we don’t have thanksgiving, so i’m gonna dedicate this entry to everyone that i want to thank.

god i’m thankful that my parents are healthy and active. that they aren’t one of those dreadful parents who nag and complain all the time. that they’ve been as understanding as they can be with us and have still been helping us with everything they could when we get in trouble. when i say we, i actually meant me.

my eldest sister for spending time and bringing me to Crystal Jade, and probably the reason why would i leave my job and be like her wtf

my brother for having such a lovely marriage and wonderful baby boy who jumped and hopped non stop, and always trying to steal our luggage bag everytime we bring a decent one home lol

my second sister for realising her dream although she had to work like triple harder than anyone else, and for buying me things and giving me cash everytime i needed them. and saying i get uglier when i lose weight wtf

all my friends.

Rachel & Michelle, everytime i need some beauty advise and for doing all my assignments and quiz and tests on my behalf when i sleep at home after a whole night of partying

HuiChing who still kept in touch with me when i’ve been so ignorant with our friendship, still sending me cards to show you care even though i forget your birthday every year

Eric & Hock for always calling and scolding me when i refuse to get out of the house to meet you!

the Puppies for remembering me for the gatherings everytime we are in sgt, even though i couldn’t make it to any of the gatherings until now

Beejay for dropping me messages once in a while letting me know he still remembers me.

Gao! for not messaging me for so long X-( where are you!!

ChekChow & Ah Hao & Steven & WayKing & Thong for being there to meleweh together and the jamming sessions and alcohol parties and making me skip all my classes wtf

All my uni mates for keeping me sane that 4 years and PohYiau & CheeJen for backing me up during my final shit thesis.

Jes for listening to all my crap and gave me the advice & slapped me with the truth that i know but refuse to believe, and letting me know that you’d always ALWAYS back me up if something ever happens

Pey for being the rational one and a good cook, even though you refuse to make ABC soup for me no matter how many million times i requested, and not getting angry with me when i’m late or when i say you’re short wtf

Shu for the mahjongs okay la maybe not mahjong only and everything else life would be hell of boring without you because you’re simply as crazy as i am.

Yien for putting up with my nonsense, car pooled me to work, music sharings, oldtown visits even though the thought of the food itself is enough to make you puke already, and..and..and..basically everything wtf.

Kevin for 3 yrs of strong friendship from the 1st day i step foot in office and to stand all my tempers, also never failing to crack some dumb jokes and your powderful england.

JunnHoe for being so nice even though i was being forced to drink some bitter soup when i was down with flu, and for being one of our Pearl member (ex-pearl :( now)

Sim for never failing to pick a fight with me everytime we discuss something and refusing to bring Grace out wtf and being my trip organizer even though i was such a bitch during planning

FatBoyLim for the laundry and taxi service lol no la wtf for always being there everytime i need help in downloading series ok la no la lol for just..being there…

KokWei for being so thoughtful and also being the DVD supplier and computer technican and Kazaa technician ahaha

Linus for being the “consultant” and keeping me entertained at work when i was in the States, and for telling jokes that people don’t understand wtf

ChingSiang for being my SC tour guide even though it means sacrificing sleep for work after play.

JG for never saying no to any of my requests no matter how inconvenient it is, i mean like, never..really never.

ChakFung for all the turned down hiking invites and pingpong bat and being my pingpong sifu although you didn’t teach me anything besides laughing at me silly wtf

David for ignoring me everytime he has a new girlfriend wtf

Sean, Grace, ChengLin, Angeline, Angie, Jeney, ChiaHuey for all the practises, rehearsals and performances. it truly became a big part of my life.

and to you. it really takes a lot for someone to come back into my life after all these years. there’s probably nothing that can be done to undo what has already been said and done, and nothing could change the hurt and anger that i’ve gone through. but coming back with the clarification and apologies that were very much needed, was a great relief.

wtf so emo today T___T

maybe it’s because i have to go back tomorrow T_____________T the whole holiday whisked by so fast and returning to work marks the start of my new year, no more slacking and all work wtf
