feel so happy cause i did a good deed today...went to buy plaster, biscuits and dettol for the tsunami victims...most cutomers at the departmental stall are also buying medication for the tsunami victims...looks like singaporeans are not that heartless afterall hehe~ but feel so sad for those victims...especially when you watch the news and they film those dead bodies all tied up and decomposing...gosh~ so heart-breaking...it's the least we can do for them...though we can't bring the dead back at least we can provide some sort of comfort for those living ones...hope the dead can rest in peace and the live ones can carry on with their lives.........

if only im flirty rich i would have donate more...but really hope more miracles will happen...the number of singaporeans missing is increasing each day and i guess their family members are already prepared for the worse...

i can literally imagine the scene now...helpers helping to remove the decomposing dead bodies from the scene so family members can identify them and many more bodies still submerge in the sea not being discovered as there is just not enough helpers around...the bodies are already all bloated up and some already badly decomposed...i really have no idea how will those family members feel should they identify their love ones among the dead...is it a good thing? to discover their bodies and bring them back to singapore for a proper creamation or to continue hoping that they'll manage to spot their love ones name on the surviving list in the hospital...i really have no idea...

should there be some kinda warning or should these country have some kinda equipment to sense that a tsunami will be approaching im sure this will not happen...here we are waiting to welcome 2005, a brand new year but over at the other side...people are searching for their love ones......is it really a good start???

have u guys seen the terrible remains of the tsunami devastation...who could have ever imagine their wonderful holiday in an exotic island would end up in tears, end up in some losing their love ones...it's such a sad scene when they film all the dead bodies all dumped into a hole preparing for "burial"...

you call digging a hole and dumping all the dead bodies into the hole a burial???issn't there any prayers conducted so these poor souls can rest in peace!! even if there is a monk chanting for them it still seem so cruel and heartless to dump all the dead bodies into a hole...there are still 16 singaporeans missing and 2 are confirmed dead...who would have ever imagine such a thing would actually happen...it took everyone by surprise...thankfully it did not happen in the middle of the night or else i think there would be more deaths...

it suddenly strike my mine that life is so vulnerable...one moment you're having fun under the sun and the next moment you might be sweep away with the strong current...so people please treasure and cherish your love ones...you'll never know when you'll ever see them again...

anyway today i finally manage to find my iron-on sequine design!! and it's one i've been looking for for a long time!! hahaha~ but me and grace did a really bad thing...well not very bad actually...the iron-on that we wanted was pack in a packet of 2 for $12 but we only wanted 1 so we secretly change their packaging and pay at the cashier and the cashier didnt even know anything...hehehehe so we act innocent and went out hahahaha~ but im sure anyone would have done the same thing right? afterall why would you buy 2 when you only need one?

but we're honest customer...at least we pack them back into the packaging that ladel $6 and not something cheaper...hehehe

First stop: Bedok, curry fish head for dinner...(totally spicy but yummy!!)

Second stop: People's Park complex, dear got his dream phone, O2 Xda mini...a pretty nice phone but a little too complicating for simple user like me...haha*

Third stop: Esplanade, photo taking session!!

Fourth stop: Mount Faber, a totally scary experience! can you imagine we were driving up hill and guess what! the car run out of petrol!!! the red warning signal keep appearing to tell us that petrol level is low...

in the end we had to drive down to pump petrol and drive up again...but by the time we drive up it was already 12am so we had our "special countdown" in the car!! hehe* doubt anyone had such a special countdown like us...

Fifth stop: Plaza Singapura, to watch "Seed of Chucky", which was a total waste of money and energy trying to stay awake in the theatre to watch the movie!! it was a totally sucky movie!! and the least scary series of Chucky!! the bloody scene was so fake, especially when Chucky kills the victim and the blood spitting out part...gosh so damn fake!! i would give the show 0/10!! cos its so dumb!! guess the producer was on low budget thats why the movie turn out to be so terrible...

by the time the show ended the four of us was like walking zombies...just so desperate to lie on our wondering beds...

Final stop: Back to chalet...hehehehehehe ^v^

yesterday the whole gang from aussie called me!!! so happy to receive their call!! have not hear from them for a long time...glad that everyone is well...hey! i miss u guys in aussie! pls take good care of each other ok! especially the two small ones!! be careful!! miss u guys lotssssssssss!!!!!!

shalalalala' 5:17 PM

today we're suppose to go to swissotel merchant court hotel for our company christmas lunch and i was the one making the booking...therefore i will have to find out the number of people attending right? well i did...and there was a total of 21 people including me so i told the coffeehouse staff and she fax me a guarantee slip where we have to guarantee at least 16 people turn up or else they'll charge us a penatity of 35% of the total cost of 21 person...but thankfully all 21 of us turn up...

just as we're about to leave the office at 12pm (cos the lunch booking is at 12.30pm), my manager called and told me that she forgot our medical director and wanna add her....basically it's alright cause all i have to do is to call the coffeehouse and ask them to add one more seat but my panicky manager have to make such a big fuss and say the staff let us sit at a round table! how to add one more person in? it'll be so weird!!

hello~~im not at the coffeehouse, how am i suppose to know that they give us a round table? and what'w wrong with a round table? why can't a round table slot in another person? do you have to make such a big fuss??? how the hell am i suppose to know that we have to include our medical director???she's also not from the corporate office!!she's from another company!!!and you say to call all staff from our corporate office only!! gosh~ when manager gets cranky...they start screaming at us...the poor staff...

finally she called me 5mins later and say the coffeehouse staff can slot one more chair in for us so we'll sit in 2 tables, 11 person each! see! i told her they can slot one more person in but she has to make such a big fuss!!!

haiz~ spoilt all my mood of enjoying my delicious lunch....thankfully it was a nice buffet cause they had a pretty wide variety of choices...the nicest and most popular dish is the snipper lobster...it's actually like the clayfish but duno why it's called a snipper lobster?? everyone was queuing for the lobster cause it's so yummy!!! i didnt know you have to queue up so i juxt cut in and take mine food...i was wondering why is everyone staring at me...than i realise i actually have to queue up to take the food...oops....hehe but since im a small girl i guess they will not hold it against me and we're in a high class hotel...it'll be so embarassing if they were to shout at me...

we went there with in our C.F.O (chief finance officer) car and at a junction when we're about to turn a lady driver bum into us from the back and she just drove off like that without even coming down the car or stop to apologise!!!she drove into a car park and escape while we're searching for her!!!how cunning!!! but never mind cos all of us remember her license plate! it's SBF 3723 U

anyway no one had the mood to work today cause tomorrow's chrsitmas eve!!!i receive so many christmas pressie from the staff in the office....so nice!!no matter what the present is...it's still the thought that counts right!! ^v^

can't wait till it's 6 o'clock dan i can go shopping with grace for xmas pressie!! anyway here's wishing everyone A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!HOPE U RECEIVE LOTS OF PRESSIE AND HAVE FUN!!


shalalalala' 5:35 PM

roxanne got for everyone of us christmas present! how sweet of her...though the presents might not be expensive stuff but buying for almost 12 person must have cost her a bomb too...the nicest part is all the cards on each present actually provide a hint to the present inside...for example, siew chin receive a WARMER and the card goes like this "wishing you a WARM christmas on this festive season" every present comes with a special meaning and purpose to the receiver...that's how christmas should be like! not giving expensive or branded gifts to people but giving them gifts that is meaningful and special! even if it is something cheap...it's still the thought that counts!

..:4 more days to christmas:..


shalalalala' 4:38 PM

yesterday we celebrated ken's 21st birthday at party world...a ktv beside hello singtel in orchard...was really very keen on attending but didn't have much of a choice...anyway birthday boy was definately the happiest yesterday...singing his heart out and smiling non-stop...=)

today we celebrated grams 70th birthday at a restaurant at bukit merah...so fun! taking photos non-stop and meeting up with the rest of the families...if only desiree u were here!!after lunch at the restaurant we went back to grams place for cake cutting celebration!!so nice to see the "almost whole" family gathering together...jux like before whenever we celebrate chinese new year...grams place would definately be everyone's first stop!!now the family size seem to shrink...because some of us are not in singapore...when will we have the next gathering where the whole family will be present?????????


shalalalala' 10:49 PM

yipee 23mins more to 2 days of freedom!!but it's raining outside...y mux it always rain when i don't bring my umbrella??if only we can control weather like how we control our air con with a remote control...hmmm~ but that's just me being crazy...

next weekend is christmas but i don't seem to feel any christmas mood floating around...i don't even hear any christmas songs...and this year orchard christmas lighting is just so pathetic...nothing fasinating and catches my attention...*yawn* unlike the good old days where christmas lighting is always the attraction during this festive season...orchard will be packed with people trying to catch a glimpse of the deco and trying to squeeze through the crowd to take photos...but this year deco is just plain boring...not even worthy for taking photographs...i'm not being mean but just stating a fact!

went down to our company clinic to see a doctor cause i can no longer stand my coughing! it's killing me! every night i feel like im having a asthma attack...and our physicians charges are so expensive! first consultation fees plus few packets of horrible medication cause me $41.75! thank god for company reimbursement...it's so expensive but our clinic is still fully packed with patients...looks like singaporeans are willing to pay any price to see a doctor...


shalalalala' 5:44 PM

don't you feel that live is so boring?well my life is boring...actually it's more like a routine...it goes like this:
1. wakes up at 7am in the morning, get ready and leave for work
2. catch the crowded 8am train that is always packed with working class peoples
3. reach my office at 8.25am and get ready to start work in 5 mins time
3. work till 12.45pm and it's lunchtime! meet grace for lunch and back to the office after 1 pathetic hr of lunch break
4. continue working till i gain freedom at 6pm and catch the train back home
5. reach home around 6.30pm and bath and eat dinner
6. watch tv from 7pm to 10pm and wait for dear's call if he is free and has his phone back from his topid officer...
7.sleeping time and the same routine will continue again.......................
gosh~ life is so boring...why aren't there any interesting things happening in my life?? it's always the same routine again and again...no changes at all...LIFE SUCKS TOTALLY!!!!

anyway change mine blog skin today and i did it on my own! so proud of myself...but still having some problems with the links and signature...really don't have a clue how to go about adding links...everything i try don't seem to work....but overall manage to settle the skin and tagboard...*hehe*

i'm feeling totally sleepy and boring today!!anna's on leave so there's nothing for me to do...no leave forms to update, and so few phone calls to answer...i've been staring and surfing the net since i started work at 8.30 this morning!!gosh~ i don't think there's any other more relaxing job than mine...

i'm feeling so so so sleepy today and mine nose is dripping again...looks like i'm getting symptons of a bad cold and maybe a fever too...can i go on m.c for the rest of the week?? with all these drilling noise i think im gonna go deaf soon...because of the renovation work, we installed a door bell so whenever visitors come they have to press the door bell and i have to run to open the door for them because in order to enter, you will need a access card so all visitors have to press the door bell...looks like i not only become a receptionist but also a "door opener" hehehehe~ well, at least all these running to open the door becomes a form of exercise for me and it's helping to keep me awake too hehehe~ or else i might just doze off on my table... looks like i have to bring some magazine or comic to the office to read to keep myself entertain and to prevent me from dozing off... *zZzZzZzZzZz*

WHAT DO GIRLS WANT ???
When I was a fresh-woman, all I wanted was a guy with big muscles. So I dated a muscular guy. He was as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he beat up any other guy who stare at me. I was afraid he would hit me too. So I dumped him when he was in jail. So I decided to date a romantic guy. He was so sweet : he sent me flowers every Fri to my office just to ask me out; one time he packed himself into a box as my birthday gift..... But he was also romantic to other girls....... until I found out in a florist that he ordered 5 dozens of roses each Fri...it was too late...... he already dumped me. So I decided to date a stable guy. He was a good man. He had a Ph.D from MIT. But all he talked with me was Networking. I had to dump him because when one day I said I was going to Banana Republic, he said you don't need to go to Manhattan to buy bananas. There's a Mama shop across the street. So I decided to date an interesting guy. He was so funny. He was like Jack Neo in TV. He made me laugh all time. But later, I couldn't laugh anymore. He didn't have a job, nor did he plan to find one. All he did was playing Mahjong and Sony playstation, I dumped him.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

WHAT DO GUYS WANT ???
When I was in Secondary School, all I wanted was a girl with big boobs. In poly, I dated a girl with big boobs, but there was no passion. So I decided I needed a passionate girl. In college, I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency, she cried all the time. So I decided I needed a girl with some stability. I found a very stable girl, but she was boring. She never got excited about anything. So I decided I needed a girl with some excitement. I found an exciting girl, but I couldn't keep up with her. She rushed from one thing to another, never settling on anything. She was directionless. So I decided to find a girl with some ambition. After University, I found an ambitious girl and married her. She was so ambitious, she divorced me and took everything I owned. So what do you want?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
At many times, people just go after what they want their ideal partner to be. And they neglect what that person has. Chasing after what u want is never ending and may not come to a good end. So cherish what u have and appreciate what they are!!!

found this on a forum...don't you think it's so meaningful? people often neglect what their partner have and always wish to change them into their "ideal" partner. but is it actually possible to change someone? even if you manage to change them, they are not who they are...but who you want them to be...so will you actually be happy being with them??? learn to be contented with what you have cause it's fate that brings two together and learn to cherish and appreciate them...


shalalalala' 8:30 AM

shalalalala' 4:22 PM

our first Singapore idol is born...taufik...wasnt really a taufik fan so ain't that happy he won...was hoping sly will make it but can't denied that taufik does have talent...especially his version of "me and mrs jones" it's so well delivered...but i still prefer sly version of "i dream", its so much better...i totally agree with the papers that taufik has talents and sly has popularity but i guess sly's popularity didnt help him gain more votes...but nevertheless both of them will be given contracts...todays papers is already full of articles on last night Singapore idol...looks like singapore do have some talents afterall...but im sure sly will be able to make it big if he is promoted to the taiwan market, maybe because he has the "ah beng" attitude and looks that taiwanese like?? hehe wonder when's Singapore idol 2 gonna be shown??American idol 4 will be out in Jan 2005!!can't wait!! every season of idols, the nicest part is the auditions cause there'll always be some freaks appearing and giving us audience and the judges some entertainment...*grinz* just like this season of singapore idol...the "lemon tree guy" haha
