Saturday night---Da Vinci Code

Went to watch Da Vinci Code yesterday night. Planned to watch it with Yew Wee but most cinemas were fully booked last Saturday afternoon. Too bad we had to cancel our plans. Until now, still no news from him, WTH.

Deric called me to check my progress on Friday. Sucks, felt so lost and messed up for the report. Daily report sent to all big boss late, in the end kana complained by Bernard ( who was on leave). Thought he wouldn't care since he was on a half day leave but it was otherwise. Totally useless, no excuse even though I'm still at the 'teething' stage. What the fuck. Deric was right that I am still attempting to consolidate all pieces of info to get the one big picture. Hai, hope tomorrow will be a new day.
Anyway, told him I'm not confident in my work. He gave advice and promised to accompany me to DVC.

We met on Saturday after he finished his exams. He wondered if he had read the wrong topic cos' what he studied didn't came out. Got a feeling that he might fail. Unfortunately, what is done cannot be undone so there's no choice. God bless him... However, believed D will pass cos' he's a smart guy. haha...

Got surprised that he was already at blk 57 when he called me. haha, so gotta hurry. haha. Both hungry-pangs went for pig organ soup near Jalan Besar, (it was one of the best POS in singapore and so people said. extra bonus to it cos' the soup can be refill.)

Drove to PS cos' we thought there will be seats in the evening. When we reached there, sucks, left midnight show. We left for Tampines mall. Hai, we buried our own grave. The queue is extremely long that it reached outside Ajisan and the timeslot left only 1230. Hahaha, I was laughing at myself, how foolish to go to neighbouring town on that day, at that hour. We ended up with no choice since we wanted to watch no matter how. Haha. Strange, it's been one week and there's still so many ppl. Both of us came up with 2 conclusion= GSS and sch holiday; neighbouring town. Haha.. Guess all of you should know who came up with the latter. Hehe.

Had 3 more hours to spend so we went Mohamed Sultan to rackie. To our surprise, there's no queue or human traffic at the pubs. By right, on a Sat and at the hour should have long queue. In the end, we ended walking along all the pubs along UE mall to Zouk and back to UE mall. crazy. Heard some songs his band recorded, haha, I have no comment on the vocalist cos' it s***s. Nice guitar strumming on his part.

Spend most of our time in the car that day until the whole body numb. Hahaha. Stopped at East Coast before going back to Tampines JIT for the movie. Damn adverts, time stated at 1230 but ads spent 20 more mins, so the exact time of the movie started about 1am. Connie called twice during the show, didn't dare to pick up, msged her, luckily didn't get scolding. Phew.

The seat was damn uncomfortable, no headrest and one of the armrest occupied by this "considerate" friend. So in fact there's no r&r thruout the movie. Haha.

The movie came out fine, the story was rather direct and hastened, however I saw no climax, hai. Fortunately I read the whole book, so I could understand more or less. I believed it will be damn complicated when people don't know what the holy grail or the priory of sion is. In fact, I was a little confused. Was enlightened by D when he explained to me the relation between the last scene and the bible. Realised it was one of the most vital part that Dan wanted to portray to the readers.

Damn it, reached home at 4am, need to wake up at 8 plus. However that superman need not sleep, still went supper with friend after sending me home, didn't sleep and continued working when I went for my service @ 10am today. Haha, he so piah, I became so stress. haha.

A thursday evening -- 11 May 2006

Thursday was the 1st time I went dinner with my colleague. Initially there's 3 of us, Deric, Alann and me to go makan. In the end, Alann stubbornly insisted on finishing his work. Hence, we left without him. I requested to go Bugis cos' thought of looking at some shoes, however I dropped my shopping plan cos' it was so inconvenient to shop with a guy. He drove from our workplace to Bugis. I was damn comfortable in the car that I don't really want to get off. Haha.

When we reached there, I can't really decide what to eat, Fish n Co or Sakae Sushi. Thus, we did a coin flipping to decide. Hai, always like that... We ate @ Frog Sushi, chatted, joked throughout our dinner. The jokes from him are super lame, for e.g...

Q: what is the name of the longest knife?
A: Tu Long Dao ( too long knife)

There are many more but blogging in could not bring out the coldness. Haha.

Finished our dinner at around 10. Initially thought of going back though the night is still young and there's endless stuff to chat about, but there's really no place to go. Went back to his car, supposed he will drive me home. Who knows, he thought the same, so we both decided to go for a drink. Hehe... We went to the previous youth flying club for wine. The place is located near Dempsy Road and somewhere behind Botanical Garden. Forget the name of the place but the ambience was good cos' it's 180 degree different from BQ or CQ.

The wine cellar showcases a wide variety of wine, but I chose to stick to French to play safe. Damn it, I still thought the French variety was limited, until I realized the cellar allocated one more corner for the French wine. Haha...Who knows Deric also blindly follow me. WTH...

I chose a Chateau Roc De Segur 2001, it's a Bordeaux red, just to play safe cos' I knew the region produces many good wine. Haha... What an amateur. Haha...

Aha, Deric let me test the wine, and I told him irregardless of testing, we still have to accept it. haha. However, I didn't expect the wine to turn out rather good. It's young (cos' approx.5 years), the tannin is low, not too round cos' it's young and the alcoholic vol is only 12%. For me is absolutely good cos' it's easy to drink and not get drunk.
Haha.. Dangerous for the driver to get tispy too rite?

The wine is accompanied with crackers and cheese. Yummy! Chatted for long, from top to bottom. Exchanging each others' life philosophy. ( Though I'm only 2 decades old but when it comes to this topic, I have plenty to discuss about. Haha...) Just love to do that cos' you feel great when both in fact share the same beliefs.

We chatted till the bar closed, at that moment it's about 12 plus. Haha... Both of us finished the whole bottle of wine ( means I drank half of it), what an achievement! Surprisingly I'm not drunk, Yuhoo! cos' I usually confine myself to 2 glasses otherwise I really couldn't take it. Haha.

Mum called in the middle of our conversation, damn it, I expected the worst she will say, fortunately she just ask me to go back early. Phew...

In the end, got back home at 1, mum and sis also just reached home. Haha...

Habits 2

Today's topic is sight.

The 1st impression of a person or thing is being judge by their appearances.

That is why people use "Love at 1st sight" for a reason. They don't use "love at 1st sentence" or "love at 1st word".

I believe the appearance of something is vital. Me, like many others, just couldn't shoo this "beautiful" temptation away.

I love beautiful things, irregardless of living or non-living. It brings nice feeling to the eyes and even our mind. :)

Bad Habit 1

This period is my bad habits exhibition. The theme is senses. Today I shall talk about smell.

So what's about smell? Basically, I love nice smell. Haha, lame, everybody love it too. However, I love to make myself smell good and I expect people to do the same. Sometimes, I will sniff people standing near me (not obvious though), especially when they applied fragances. Haha...

Fragance made me feel good towards that individual. Currently, I'm mesmerised by a smell from someone. It just made me feel so nice. The person is... ... ... saya. Haha, Chance can last for a long time. I can clearly smell my own smell for the whole day since 24 April 2006. Haha. Alrite, I'm not so self-obsessed, in fact since Darren is gone, Deric became his replacement. Better smell cos' the smoking smell isn't that heavy, wonder what fragrance he used, it's kinda new to me. ;) sniff sniff sniff like a dog...

Surprise surprise!

Yesterday was a surprising day. Haha.. In fact it was my birthday. Was really delighted cos' many of my friends did not forget my birthday, even Shirlena (haven seen her for a year since last ITP) hehe.. but that was not all. Haha

I never expect all my colleagues knew about it. I didn't tell anyone except Pei xi, and so... ... u know... and then all know about it. hoho... However I didn't really know they knew until lunch time.

Initially Pei xi, monica and me just thought of going Quest for lunch. Then Deric and Alann wanted to join us and to eat something better. In the end, he thought of Swensen's @ airport. We took Deric's car there. I thought it's a manager's treat but somehow hohoho... it was my birthday treat. cos when all of us finished our meal, the waitress brought a bowl of ice creams with a candle. So surprise! Thanks Pei xi so much, love her, smooch. Haha.. Purposely requested them to sing the birthday song in cantonese. Haha, in the end Deric bao ka liao.

That was not all. When we went back to the office and I left my desk to learn something from Pei Xi, the lunch group placed a cake from Spinelli coffee on my desk, plus a hello panda and a hi-chew grapes. Oh my, my heart almost melted. of cos' I approached each and everyone to thanks them. :) so nice of them.

Today, Mun yue gave a bird sticker that has my birthdate on it. I pinned it on my board. Hehe. Haiyo, Pei Xi and Monica were not here today. In the end, the cubicle left me alone. Lonely, I'm so lonely, nothing to do, just studied what Pei Xi loaned me. Deric briefed me on the company's overview as well as the duties that our department is doing. What the fu**, I felt like an idiot cos' whatever he asked me, I know nuts, so malu. Hai...

Anyway, recieved Steve's postcard and birthday card today. Haha they came simultanously... Gracias, Merci, Danke, Grazie, obrigado, xie xie, arigato, terimah kasih and thanks. :)

Passion for dance

Discovered Deric's great passion for dance today. Haha.. We just happened to talk about boardway musicals, then we mentioned about dance. Are you thinking about hip hop, modern ballet? Nope doc. It's social dance... Haha. Many people classify this dance as one for old people. Haha..

Got to know that he knew 5 dances, mostly latin american, cool. Just love people who dances latin. Never expect him to dance in the office ( of cos' within our cubicle). haha... Waiting for him to lend me those dance movies. hehe..

Today saw the dancing programme on ch5, "so u think u can dance" or something like that. Damn nice, just love those hip hop. One of the couples danced salsa, woah! Really sal-sa (xiao sa). Haha...

Anyway, PAP won Jln Besar area yesterday night. Gotta wait 5 more years for the extra country bonus. hai.

Sucks man

It's been almost 2 weeks since I started working, but sucks man. Not the work or people, but the administrative stuff. Almost 2 weeks and haven't got my own password and email account. Deric sent the application to the India call centre but rejected due to certain f**king issue which we also don't know. Guess the "supplied chain" broke in India. Hence, might be getting it next week.

Patrick said it's very strange, already 2 weeks and not yet ready. Saya must wait for so long to get to see the world. damn slow. Haha.. Think now Tom ( the bigger boss) is helping to solve this matter.

Hmmm... Yes! Tmr's Friday. Shopping time. Shop for my second home (my cosy office space). Gonna go PS to run an errant too.

Wonder if I could take my election leave on the 15th? Haha... Then that will be a long long weekend. Haha... Btw today, stoned in my chair and mind entered into the 4th dimension for 3 times. Haha. Damn sleepy and monotonous doing the verification work, but no choice, who says it's part of my job.

Hey, guess what is the meaning of this entry?

The conclusion is... Who says IBM is technologically efficient? Haha.

Erm... Hello

Guess what I'm doing now?

I'm performing multi-tasking; eating orange from Valencia, blogging, msn-ing, researching what the hell "Risk of Loss" means. I'm struck with the ROL and must find the definite meaning otherwise I will feel very uncomfortable. Haha.

Today, Pei Xi was telling me that I do not need to go an extra mile to revise the work I learned everyday. I will generally pick up the skills as time passes. Hmmm, indeed many people told me that but I felt like a slowpoke. Perhaps I'm a little impatient in that sense. Haha... Looks like the Taurean is up to its mischief. Gotta slow down my charge, otherwise the fire on the matchstick burns off. Haha... Anyway, I changed my priority in life and Swee Poh said I'm "hua xing" but close friends will know what kind of people I am, it wasn't good, yet I'm not a bad person either. Haha, how ironic.

Went to Orchard then Bugis with Jac, Theresa and Li Ping yesterday. I felt a oh-so-long-time-no-see feeling. Hai, really missed everyone. Life is just friendless without friends. Haha.. Lame sia... haha.. reminded me of the lame riddle, how do u call a lame prawn? Ans: Lame sia.

Chatted with LP in PastaMania for few hours but I just didn't feel that time passes that quick. Haha.. Got to know what many other friends are doing... wuwuwu... *smirk*

Jackie gave me my early b'day present. Aha! Super artistic, just love it, especially the ring holder. Brought to office today and prepare to let it face the world. haha

hey guys! let's meet again for nydc this time... ;)

Btw, realised the real meaning of a word few days ago.

"Assume" is the word I realised.

What's so special about it? Frankly, there's nothing special but hey people, do not simply use this word when you don't know the actual meaning. Haha... Because... when you use this word, you are basically making an ass out of you and me... haha.. get it? no? Right, so simply spell the word 'assume'.

A-S-S-U-M-E, hence, making an ASS out of U and ME. Haha... So next time do not use "assume" but you can use "presume". Haha...
