Decided to try my luck with my colleagues for the 10 Million Ang Bao.. So the group of 12 of us each chipped in 10 bucks to buy $120 worth of TOTO...
And guess what... we struck!
Nope, not 10 millions (nowhere near even..)..
We struck a pathetic 4 digits... which works out to $90... and after dividing, we are supposed to get back $8 each! Sigh, dumbest shit ever.. so effectively, each of us still incurred a deficit of $2!
what the....

1.3 Venue scouting...Dilemma!!!!
Visited one last venue today... Was curious and excited how the my impression of the place would be as I heard pretty good things about it. After waiting for two weeks, we finally managed to get hold of someone from NLB and got to view the pod at last. (aka the place PM gave his national day rally speech) This place is... nice. Really really really nice. From the 16th floor of NLB, there's an almost breathtaking view of Singapore. (Almost as we viewed it early in the morning. But I'm definitely convinced that the night view would take my breath away.)
Damnit, dilemma lah. Unsure of which of the two location we should choose. Sigh.. what a headache..Unlike the previous comparisons where we would choose arts house over everything, we were unable to make a decision of which venue we want. Both venues have their respective pros and cons and both venues are just as impressive. Interestingly, both venues have the potential for very different atmosphere. Comparatively, Arts House gives a warm and cosy feel, while Pod gives a cool and 'glam' feel.
What a tough decision....
Anyway.. we made up our mind after some struggles...
I hope we made the right choice... hee...

1.2 Our Wedding.. - Venue Viewing..
Hee... went venue viewing today!
First to Arts House, followed by Singapore Arts Museum...
Fell totally in love with the rooms (Gallery & Living Room) in Arts House (Better known as the Old parliament House). Fits our wedding concept brilliantly.. just like a hand in a glove. Just standing there, I could almost visualize hosting a party there.. Mingling around with friends, holding a wine glass in a pretty cocktail dress. Just like the way we wanted it to be.... Perfect.
Unfortunately, prices ain't exactly very pocket-friendly and availability could be an issue. In addition, they have official in-house catering, and any external caterers will cause us to incur some costs... =(
Anyway, with ultra high expectations (set by Arts house), we popped over to SAM shortly after.
Beautiful courtyard and Glass house. (not so keen about the atrium as it used to be a chapel.. gives the feeling of a church wedding..) Rental rates are more reasonable and availability is not an issue as yet. But still, Arts house has already wow-ed my heart away... And sadly, SAM doesn't seem to impress me as much as arts house did... Oh, but the courtyard at SAM is really pretty, definitely one of the places I wanna take my wedding photos at (that's if I decide to sign up any packages lah)
LOl..oops, seems like I'm pretty biased towards what I want... but shall try to remain open-minded.. Time to fix up appointments for other venues too!

Supper with the bitches...
My favourite pastime recently is spending time with two of my induction mates - Jean and Alicia... Funniest, meanest (trust me, we do get really nasty at times...), most candid and oh, manly girls I come to know recently... Totally in love with them right now... LOL...
Gossip sessions that reduce karma to an infinite low are our common interest..
Really enjoy talking to them. Being in the same organization and having job scopes that are pretty much the same, suffering under the mean hands (read: incompetent) of different bosses and having almost no social life (okay, maybe it's just me) sets the platform for countless topics for the three bitches to bitch about. LOL..
Sadly, with our really really awful schedules, the only possible time we can arrange to meet is for supper.. (darn, thinking of the consequences that comes with supper.. but again, guess it's worth it!) And best of all, we would hang out till late, erm, early.. (Got home at only after 5am today) Definitely the best way to prevent burnout at a shitty job like this..
Wonder how long this fire will last..
But at least for now, i totally adore them!
Go girls!

Crazy KeY at work...
Did a couple of insane things today...
Fixed up a blading session with some of the bball gang at ECP. When we arrived at ECP, the weather was cloudy, but ain't raining as yet. Waited a while for the whole grp to arrive and before we knew, it started drizzling. Damn. Anyway, decided to proceed with blading anyway since most of the gang came a long way from the far west of Singapore, and of cos, all of us silently hoping that the rain won't last too long...
Ya right. The fucking rain not only lasted loooong, it got heavily by the minute. And while we were at the far end of ECP, it started raining cats and dogs... Lucky huh. Managed to get shelter in one of the pavillions. But insanely, a couple of the bladers wanted to get their money's worth and decided to blade on in the heavy rain. LOL, and I followed suit. Definitely one of the craziest things I did in a long while - blading at relatively high speed on a slippery road at ECP in heavy rain -totally drenched from head to toes. Honestly, it made me feel young (feels like I'm back in my crazy JC days). Afterall, haven't really had any opportunity to do anything so crazy and fun.
Of cos, felt damn disgusting after taking off my blades... My poor blades are soaked and I'm dripping wet... LoL.. but it was fun nonetheless.. (wonder if the rest felt the same..=P)
Anyway, invited the gang over to my place (which was supposingly the closest to ECP compared to the rest) for a shower and headed to Chomp Chomp for dinner.
Crowded as usual and took us a while before we finally spotted a family who was 60% done with dinner. So the group of 7 of us stood beside the family and waited for about ten minutes. Out of nowhere came an auntie who pretended not to see us (erm, her eyesight muz be really bad since there were not 1 but 7 of us) and stood behind the family. Once the family stood up, she hurriedly ran in front of my friend and put her bag down.
What a bitch.
Hungry and pissed with her disgusting act, I couldn't help but spoke up for us.
KeY: (rather loudly) "AUNTIE, 我们先来的leh"
Auntie: “不用那么大声。 我听的到的。”
Picking up her bag, she moved off and continued mumbling: “你很有礼貌lor"
K: "是吗？ 谢谢 hor"
Auntie: Glaring at me and walking away... mumbling... “你很有礼貌lor"
Whatever. The fact that she moved off simply after my comment goes to show that she knew that she was in the wrong and just wanted to try her luck at whether we were pushovers. Unfortunately not. I bet her kids were embarrassed by her act (I know I would definitely be if she's my mom. In fact, I wouldn't even let her carry out the act in the first place) as they stood a distance away and didn't even come up to her 'rescue' during the whole commotion. Such an unnecessary encounter...
Totally disgusted by how ungracious Singaporeans came be (okay, maybe not all, but a handful and that is bad enough).
Anyway, don't expect me to be nice and polite when you step on my toes.

1.1 Our Wedding
Yap, wedding bells are ringing! Actual date isn't fixed as yet as usual (still needa go 'count' our eight characters before selecting "THE DAY".) But if nothing goes wrong, it should be somewhere during the 4th quarter of 2008 or 1st quarter of 2009.. (LOL, not really helpful I know...but that's about all I can confirm for now)
Honestly, planning for a wedding is so much more tedious and frustrating than I thought. Not as enjoyable as I expected, especially when you need to consider budgets and family expectations.. (thank god both our families are easy-going..) Oh well, I'll get through this!
After some discussion, both of us agreed on our wedding plan:
- No wedding banquet, no hotel venues. No wedding march, no 撞门, no church wedding...
- Just a simple lunch reception for relatives to announce our marriage and ... a simple chill out/cocktail party with a small (is a hundred people considered small?) group of close friends.
We also shortlisted a few places that offered venues that suited our wedding concept - NLB building, SAM, Arts House, Asian Civilisation Museum and Legends.
Time to start emailing them for venue viewing...
Hee.. let the 'fun' begin...

Happy New Year...
Honestly, there's nothing to be happy about new year. It just goes to show that you're getting older - one year closer to dying.. and that's about it. Okay, I'm just being sore. Cause I'm stuck at home alone, with no new year plans, no one to go out with. Did get a couple of offers from some nice pple (who probably felt sorry for me). But no thanks. And too lazy (or maybe too proud) to whip out my phone to make plans.. so decided to just come home and sulk and feel sorry for myself.
Totally sianz from work..Imagine working till 10pm on new year's eve, when majority of the people in the world (besides me and two other unlucky colleagues) are stuck at work. And wait, where's my beloved boss... hm...oh.. he's on Off... Not to forget idiots who kept bugging us for the GST package (so glad it's the last day for applications) and best of all, next month's schedule..(PMs and PMs and PMs...and really pathetic 6 -10pm shifts on weekends! Fucker) Looking at each month's schedule never fails to spoil my mood. Sigh... oh well, just 7 more months to go....
Guess a bad day at work really screws up my mood for any happiness for new year. What a great start indeed.
Anyway, any new year resolutions? Nope. Doesn't work for me. None of the resolutions I ever had was actually fulfilled. So, guess that's it. No more resolutions...
Sigh.. too emo for my own sake...
that's it. period.

Wedding plans..
Sat down with Zim and Mac today over breakfast.. (Cancelled my last blading session of the year due to rain! damnit) Anyway, we talked about a range of topics.. and finally fell on the topic of our wedding.. With Mac's expertise in mind, we discussed our rough plans and budget and shortlisted several places that we could possibly host our wedding. (Nope, there won't be any wedding banquet. Just a simple affair for a group of close friends)
Hee..Actually, the conversation got me a little excited about our wedding plans. Can't wait for things to start falling into place and for us to really start the planning! We have yet to settle on the actual date (due to a series of uncertainties) so it's kinda hard for me to say when it really will be.. But hang in there.. the day will come...

Catching Up...
Met up with one of my friends today... Realized that I haven't been as good a friend as I would like to to her. (As usual...) Seems like both of us have moved on quite a bit and there were so many things that I am unaware of that are happening in her life. I feel kinda guilty for having distanced myself from her due to priorities in life. Seems like I've been a lousy friend who is lost in my own world. She has moved on quite a bit.. Doing well in her work, getting into a relationship.. blah blah.. and I'm actually ashamed to say that I am unaware of the details of her life. To think she still regards me as one of her bestest friend. Really deserve a slap for being such a lousy friend...
Actually, it ain't just her. There are a handful of them whom I'm been neglecting and as a result, pretty much lost the friendships I had with them. As much as I despise it, I've to admit that I'm someone who 重色轻友. Seems like I've given most of my time to Zim (No, I'm not blaming you, and I believe that every minute spent with you was worth it) and have gradually chosen him over several of my friends. Quite a pity indeed, especially when these are some of the people that went through joy and sadness during my good old school days...
think it's about time I made some effort to meet up with several of my friends and catch up with them on what's going on in their life... if they are willing to meet me to begin with....
LOL.. let's see how things will go..

Karma...
I always believed in karma...
Been a really nasty person for the past week... bullying people around me... =P
Seems like I'm really running damn low on karma now...
sigh.. needa start accumulating it again...
Need my help for anything???? I'll do anything to accumulate karma!!!!

Free, but stuck...
Finally done with my induction course! Feeling a little empty now.. especially when I think about having to return to work.. *shrugs* Oh well, let's not go there for now..Did make a handful of friends during this two weeks, some of which I totally adore and would love to keep in touch with and a handful of which I would probably never meet again in my life (and I don't really care anyway..=P)
Honestly, don't think I gained much (as in after attending all the classes and talks) during the two weeks of brain-washing, guess it's because I was in a semi-conscious state most of the time. Afterall, I probably slept no more than 20 hours throughout the week (thanks to bridge and supper and ktv).. But one thing that definitely stuck with me, is the advice given to me by the instructor... Slapped me right on my face. He mentioned that, if this job isn't meant for you, you should move on and not waste your time.
Actually at that very instant, I felt like he was saying it directly to me. For the past months, I've been struggling with thoughts about the job. To begin with, I do not really enjoy the nature of the work (being at the beck and call of the GRLs is definitely something I cannot stand, esp when some of them treat u like a slave) and I dislike the management style at work (to be more direct - I HATE my boss). I dislike the inflexibility of my work schedule, I dislike missing out on family events and friends' gatherings simply because my boss is too 'lazy' to make extra arrangements for me. I dislike being bullied at work (he refused to send me for my region's retreat simply because he needs to compensate me an off day if he did so..ass) and being thrown a whole shitload of work simply because the boss has too many emails that he needs to clear (just pure incompetency). I came to realise that I treasure my time with my family and friends over my career. And it totally frustrates me that the nature of the job is restricting my leisure time tremendously. Seems like I've listed enough reasons for me to move on....
I'm giving myself two months. Two months for change to happen within my workplace. If things doesn't change for the better, I'll move on....
Dreading each and everyday at work....
damnit...

Stuck @ Nacli...
Not really in a blogging mood recently. Guess that explains the lag in entries...
Hm.. anyway, just a simple update.. KeY is currently stuck @ NACLI (some ulu place off pasir panjang road) for induction and will be stuck there till the end of next week. Oh well, it really isn't as bad as it sounds. Met lotsa fun people who are a bomb to hang out with... (of cos, to bully and to gossip with lah.. =P) and most of the activities are either brainless (just stone and pretend to listen to talks) or fun (which is a PERFECT fit with KeY's personality..). So, guess i'll survive...
Set a new record for my life.. slept only 9 hours in 3 days! (no thanks to gossiping sessions) LOL.. oh well, when there's fun, who needs sleep....
Okie.. time to start packing for another week of in camp training..
til then...

Back from Switzerland....
Finally got back after a looooong 12 hour flight.. Sigh, wasn't a very good flight back (nothing to do with the service tho), no thanks to turbulence and bad weather. But I guess I made it. Suffering from a little jet lag now. (fyi, Switzerland's 7 hours behind) Ended up sleeping 16 hours last night and that totally explains the reason why I'm still awake now. (It's way past my bedtime!!!!!!! dammit)
Anyway, Switzerland is fabulous. Gorgeous country. I loved almost everything about it - the people, the weather (i did quite like the cold weather actually), the buildings, the mountains and simply just the place. But one definite complaint I have, is the ridiculous cost of food. One simple meal, say fried rice and a bottle of coke, (per head) would easily come up to 15 franz. (which is approx. SGD18). This is insane... So guess we had no choice but to go budget most of the time. Seems like most Western countries have this issue...(pretty similar to my Aust experience actually, but at least water was cheaper!)
Besides that, everything else was great. And we were really lucky as there was snow!! Normally, it doesn't snow till dec and Mid november is just too early in winter for that. But guess God heard our prayers and it snowed two weeks before we arrived, leaving beautiful snow everywhere in Mount Rigi and Luzern! Hee... feels totally like X'mas out there. Loved it. Loved it. And Loved it.
Just a Glimpse of the snow at Mount Rigi.... (Feels like I'm at the Top of the world..)
I love it there....
Wished I cld spend a few years of my life there...
Oh ya, for those who may concern... (esp Chen Qiwei), no rice was fried once again... Thanks to really bad rashes I developed as a result of the cold and dry weather. Ended up itching like crazy every single night - where got mood to fry. Seems like I really should avoid cold or dry countries during my actual honeymoon.. LOL...
Ooops... too much information...

Surprise..
Out of greed and mischief, I demanded that Zim leaves me a surprise gift to welcome me on the day I arrive... (was expecting a scarf or glove or something along that line)
Hee.. and guess what Silly Zim bought me...
LOL...
a PS 3 controller..
ROFL...
What a sweetheart...
but a PS 3 would do a better job! (hee...just kidding!)
Thanks Zim... oh well, at least it means that a PS 3 is coming our way..
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Yap, touched down in one whole piece! In fact, it was a great flight, with really spacious seats and of course, Kris world and a really nice lady sitting beside me. Well, a truly SQ experience indeed. =) (Definitely a contrast from my last flight, for the better of course.)
Anyway, leaving Geneva for Zurich is less than 12hours. Hee, pretty much enjoyed Geneva - Gorgeous buildings, GREAT shopping (kinda busted one tenth of the $$ I brought at H&M) and of course, great food (CHOCOLATE!) and wine. The only downside is probably the weather. Temperatures have been about 2 degrees (or less) and the extreme strong winds are real killers. But other than that, I'm enjoying myself right now! =P (Zim's been a darling so far!)
Had a little accident on the first night though. Quick summary:
Dozed off watching TV while waiting for Zim to return from his conference. Suddenly, a hard banging/knocking at the door woke me up. (Kinda jumped in surprise) So I jumped off the bed and ran towards the door, hoping to open it before the person leaves. However, while running towards the door, I scratched the bottom of my feet against a metal piece on the floor. The accident kinda scraped off a piece of skin and blood was oozing out. (yeah, it really hurts too). Ended up limping for one day.. T_T . Pretty much healed now but still.. it was a painful incident. TMD.
Anyway, on a side note. Realized I got a missed call from my boss (TMD.. I'm ON LEAVE LOR! wtf).. On one hand, I'm a little concerned and anxious to know what's up. On the other hand, I'm a little irritated as I'm afterall half way around the globe, and I'm pretty sure that it's not really something urgent. IDIOT.
Oh well, shan't think too much about it. Hee.. can't wait to get to Zurich. Hope it will snow over there! (erm, though it's a little bit too early into winter.. LOL, but still... a little hope doesn't kill!)
Till then...

Time to go...
One last post before I head over to the airport...
Starting to feel the excitment ... and of course, the fear of the long flight.. Luckily, I checked out the inflight entertainment earlier at work and found several interesting movies that I'm really keen to catch! (hee.. stardust!!! Transformer!!!) And of course, brought a book, brought my ipod (equipped with a half a dozen of South Park episodes) to help me cope with my anxiety.
Think I'm pretty much done with packing (and so I hope).. Hee. oh well, as long as I've passport, some money and ah ping & ah pong, I thnk i'll survive!
After slogging off my ass for the past two week, I'm finally on my way to find my love. Hee... will be back in just 9 days...
till then..
tata..

你的花心程度?
Bored at work.. so i did a little test...
Felt that it's pretty accurate..
你的花心程度很低， 不过有时也会有移情别恋的念头，但是你并不想背上背叛情人的罪名，所以不会这么做。 但是你很容易错将对友情当爱情， 容易因关心而发展出爱情，所以你要事实理清感觉，别把友情与爱情混淆了。
Guess I needa stop having anymore distractions...
I hate distractions!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGH...

From a friend...
From a good friend... to me and Zim...
"Luv’s story there’s a plenty. The ONE that you’ve been searching for has imprinted your heart everlasting and for an eternity. Together, the luv boat is gonna rudder down the never-ending stream, in the sweeteest symphony and unbroken PROMISE."
thanks for your blessing...
and thank you god for such a great friend..

thanks for your blessing...
and thank you god for such a great friend..
Two sides of a coin...
I like being alone... Being alone gives me the space I need to think about things that's happening in my life... about decisions I made, about situations I met and about anything else under the sky... I like being alone, not having to think about what to say to others around, just being silent, indulging in the wonderful music my ipod plays, and being drawn into the meaning of the songs...In addition, I especially like being alone in a crowd.... It's an amazing feeling - people walking by you as if you don't even exist there... Nobody caring about you... and you're feel to do whatever your want..(to a certain extend of course)..
But, on the other hand,
I dislike being alone.. When I'm alone and given ample space, I would start evaluating my life... When I start thinking about things in my life.. my imagination will run wild.. I would wonder if things I did were right, decisions I made were sound and of course, lotsa "what if" in my life. I would start to ask myself questions and doubt decisions I make... and it scares me... It scares me to think that I might eventually come to realise that some of the decisions I've made were actually huge mistakes..."What if" questions are the worst of the lot. They make me discontented with my life and wonder about things I probably shouldn't have done, or about things I might actually have if things haven't gone the way they had... I would start thinking about my life in general, about what I want to achieve and what I have achieved (which is probably nothing great).. and start to realize how insignificant and sad my life had been, blah blah, blah... In conclusion, I would probably sink into depression if I'm given too much time and too much space to think too much.. Hence, I need someone/something to occupy my time and to distract me from thinking things through too thoroughly...
Guess till date, zim has been my buffer in this aspect. Our stickiness kinda took up most of my 'alone' time. I would just whip up my phone to give him a call when I sense my imagination starting to stir. And it sucks that he's not around, (though still a phone call away, but the rates are a hell lot of difference).
Wish he would be back soon...

Preparation for Geneva...
Hee... Starting to make preparations for my trip (countdown.. two weeks to go..).. Been shopping for some winterwear... been printing out tons and tons of information on geneva (thank god for office printer) and been speaking to Zim's mom (who's a real darling) who has been giving me great advice on how to get around (hee.. she went there last year..now it's my turn!) Excitment is definitely is building up!!!
Anyway... went for a shopping trip with my mummy to buy some necessities (maybe not so..) for the trip! Enjoyed going out with her, afterall .. it's been a while since i played my part as a daughter...
Auntie Loo sponsored this~Ski-ing Gloves for the snow (on the mountain top!) and a snow cap to keep me warm!
While, Poor key burnt her pocket on this...
Well...of cos, not without sponsors =). Thanks my dear sistas..Your KeY's birthday donation fund will go into footing the bill for this luggage! And thanks to Uncle Loo, who generously paid for 1/3 of the luggage. So effectively, I only paid... hee.. do your own math! =P
So, to reward my mummy for accompanying me and paying for my gloves and cap.. I decided to give Auntie Loo a gift!
Hee... bought this using a $50 voucher that I won using my UOB lady's and of course, with a bit of top up! Hee.. hope mum likes it la.. at least she's using it now.. =)
Oh well, that's all for the shopping trip with mum! Still needa buy a set of long johns to keep me warm...
Meanwhile, KeY's feeling... Excited!

Leaving on a Jet plane...
It's weird how different I feel each time I enter the airport...
Been there countless times since last year and each time.. it felt different...
May 06 - KeY's leaving for the states for three months...
Bunch of really sweet friends came to see me off and of course, the feelings were mixed. On one hand, I was really excited and was looking forward to being in the states for 3 months, yet on the other, I couldn't bear to leave behind my friends, family and especially Zim. I couldn't even look Zim in his eyes without the urge to cry... At that instance, I blamed myself for making the decision of leaving him behind for so long... (Though here I stand today, feeling that the best decision I had made in my life was to go for that trip!).
Feeling: Extreme sadness...
April 07 - Trip with Honors classmate to HK
No extreme sadness of course, Lotsa excitment.. Going for a graduation trip with such a big group of friends was definitely a first for me! But the sad part of it was that, while everyone appeared excited and happy about the trip, there was a nagging feeling deep inside everyone's heart/mind knowing that everyone will go their separate ways after the trip.
Feeling: Emptiness that was temporarily disguised by excitment...
June 07 - Australia Trip with Sis and Buddy and of course Zim
Hee.. of course, there was genuinie excitment while checking in my luggage! Afterall, it was my first trip to cairns and sydney and Zim baby was with me! (YEAH!) With Zim with me and two of my best friends too! It was definitely a trip worth looking forward to! And indeed, it was one trip I really enjoyed!! (Not so sure abt the rest tho) =P
Feeling: Anticipation!
September 07 - Zim comng back from Indonesia
Hee.. Zim went on a working trip for a few days and I decided to pick him up when he returned home. Waiting for his flight to land and for him to get out felt like forever! Felt so good to have him in my arms again! Guess I really missed him while he was gone..
Feeling: Longing for him.... and when he was in my arms, it felt so heartwarming...
November 07 - Sending Zim off for Geneva..(two weeks apart)
Oh well, was unsure if I was going to cry anot, LOL (believe it anot, the first time we were apart, for a mere 2 days, I cried each time I thought of him or heard his voice. And guess where he went - Malaysia. -_-". Forgive me, that was erm... 2 years ago la) Afterall, we will be apart for 2 weeks this time. I was surprised that I was rather strong.. No sadness, (maybe a tiny winy bit) more of a "I'll be missing you" kinda feeling.
Feeling: I'll miss ya~
Oh well, going to the airport once again in two weeks time... I can pretty much guess how I will feel - Dread. The thought of flying alone for 12 hours, transit for 2 hours, internal flight for 2 hours, makes me wanna puke already. Oh well, I'll get by....
KeY's leaving on a jet plane soon...oh, but I know when I'll be back again- 22nd Nov....

Dempsey...
Call me 'sua ku' but after soooo long, I finally made my way to dempsey road...and i'm totally in love with that place.
It reminds me sooooo much of cairns... dimmed lighting, restaurants at both sides of the roads.. and so many pubs... It totally rox!
Anyway, went with Zim to Prime Society for his farewell dinner (he's leaving for Geneva for two weeks before I join him)....
Think the place is abit overrated. The ambience was nice, (I love the decor, especially the mirror image at the entrance).. Service was good. But, I personally thought that the steak wasn't fantastic. The calamari was acceptable and soup was nice. Nothing too wow though. Guess Zim kinda brought my expectations too high. But still, overall, I wouldn't mind heading back to Prime Society again... (maybe with friends, but probably not specially)
Checked out their dessert menu and wasn't impressed...hence we decided to go restaurant hop... and guess what we found..
the ultimate dessert place:
I totally adore their chocolate cake...cos the chocolate syrup oozes out... yummy.. Cheesecake was kinda too sweet.. but oh well, i'll let it pass since it tasted really cheesy (I like!).
That's it for my first experience at dempsey! Hee... but the very next place i'm aiming ..is Oosh... Shall pop by for a drink sometime soon.. any takers?

Life just isn't fair....
Something happened at work today and that was really discouraging... Can't quite explain here (needa cover my own ass la)... But still, I felt really confused. What I learnt today contradicts my own principles. Seems like standing up for your own rights and beliefs might not necessary benefit you all the time, especially at my workplace.
And that really sux.
It sucks so bad that I can't help but feel really helpless and angry. Angry that such things can actually happen in front of my eyes (it feels so 8pm drama serial) and helpless because there is really nothing I can do. Confrontation will just make things worst.
Guess I just have to learn to be more tolerant and learn to control my temper better. (Quit snapping at people so quickly - though I suspect it's in my relexes...sigh~)
Sigh.. waiting for another door to open in my life so that I can walk out of this room and lock the door up forever....
When will that ever happen?

PMS...
Been getting really bad mood swings for the past week. Must be PMS. Hate it!
The usually friendly KeY ended up really irritable, impatient and quick tempered. Sorry to those who got hit by my mood swings as a result of stepping on my toes. (Though some of them really deserved it.) Just wrong place, wrong time, wrong person la.
Maybe (for your own safety) you should avoid KeY during the end of every month. That would save you from her mood swings. Oh well, at least on the bright side, my mens came, and mood swings are OVER! Wheeeee~ So not looking forward to end of the next month. Guess I really must learn to control my mood better during this period... Sigh~
On a side note:
Zim's leaving for geneva on wed late night. Feeling a bit low as I won't be seeing him for ... 2 weeks? Been a while since we parted for so long. And I'm unhappy not just because of I'm going to miss him, also because he'll be out of the country probably enjoying himself while I'll be stuck in the shithole at work. TMD.
Can't wait to be there myself!

Nasty KeY @ work...
I admit that I'm a really spoilt kid. After all I have the luxury of having cars available for my use most of the time or someone (usually my grumpy mom or my grumbling Bro or the lovely Zim) to pick or drop me off. As a result, I'm rarely a commuter of publc transport (esp. buses...)
Decided to head to the gym today afternoon. One of the rare few days when neither cars are available, hence I've no choice but to settle for public transport. And the experience really 'made' my day...
Waited for approximately 5mins before my bus came, fully packed with school girls (to be more specific - my juniors) way to the front door. Managed to squeeze my way up though I could barely balance myself. I figured, maybe I'll scan my ezLink card after the bus moves off and after I'm sure that I won't lose my balance due to the sudden movement. Before long, I realized that the stupid bus driver actually refused to start moving until I scan my card! In fact, he stood up, pointed at me and asked me to scan my card (rather rudely too). Gosh! Was that even necessary?!. So effectively, the whole bus was waiting for me to scan my card. WTF. Was he worried that I would cheat him and hitch a free ride? I could do better than that lor. honestly, I felt really insulted. But whatever, did what he wanted else the bus would probably never start moving.
So I stood at the steps, with my hand holding the pole at the side to maintain my balance (and of course, feeling really really pissed off). And when the next stop came, he STOOD up again and told me to remove my hand and refused to open the door till I did so. TMD. I'm not stupid. I obviously know what to do when the door opens and for goodness sake, my hand wasn't even in a position where the door will trap it. Asshole. Worst of all, that added on to my embarrassment and frustration.
Thank god the crowd moved and I was finally out of the view of the bus driver. Now he can stop picking on me. Idiot. Meanwhile, I could really feel the anger and injustice bottling up inside me, screaming for an outlet for release....
Finally arrived at my stop. I was getting ready to get off when the old lady sitting in front of me (I was standing) got up and started to move towards the exit slowly. (this I can understand, as she wasn't exactly very mobile on top of her old age.) Concurrently, an old auntie (who's obviously much more mobile) behind me got up and started pushing me, trying to get me to move faster. Typical Singaporean Auntie who's kaisi and worried that she won't be able to get off. Idiot. I was fuming, On one hand, I did not want to knock into the old lady, on the other hand, I really can't stand people who push me (be it at the MRT station and on buses). And oh, not to mention that I was in a bad mood to begin with.
SO.. nasty key came to work.
I turned back, stared at the auntie and raised my voice (plus I was listening to my mp3, so I probably spoke louder than I intended) saying: 不要推了， 我也要下车！Guess that probably stunned her as I did not recall feeling her push anymore after that.
Oh well, I admit that the auntie was just an 'object' of displacement. I simply displaced my initial anger on the next thing that came along. And too bad for her, she stepped on my foot. Though the incident didn't quite appease me as much I wished it did (Jogging @ gym did, thankfully), I did feel slightly better!
Did feel a little guilty for being so harsh on that auntie. But I'll definitely say the same thing to her again, maybe softer and probably rephrase it a little. (I'll try my best la~)
Overall, the experience reinforced my negative image of public transport -especially buses. I conclude, I'll just not be lazy and walk to the train station in future.... (well, at least it's good exercise too!)

I obviously know what to do when the door opens and for goodness sake, my hand wasn't even in a position where the door will trap it. Asshole. Worst of all, that added on to my embarrassment and frustration.
Thank god the crowd moved and I was finally out of the view of the bus driver. Now he can stop picking on me. Idiot. Meanwhile, I could really feel the anger and injustice bottling up inside me, screaming for an outlet for release....
Finally arrived at my stop. I was getting ready to get off when the old lady sitting in front of me (I was standing) got up and started to move towards the exit slowly. (this I can understand, as she wasn't exactly very mobile on top of her old age.) Concurrently, an old auntie (who's obviously much more mobile) behind me got up and started pushing me, trying to get me to move faster. Typical Singaporean Auntie who's kaisi and worried that she won't be able to get off. Idiot. I was fuming, On one hand, I did not want to knock into the old lady, on the other hand, I really can't stand people who push me (be it at the MRT station and on buses). And oh, not to mention that I was in a bad mood to begin with.
SO.. nasty key came to work.
I turned back, stared at the auntie and raised my voice (plus I was listening to my mp3, so I probably spoke louder than I intended) saying: 不要推了， 我也要下车！Guess that probably stunned her as I did not recall feeling her push anymore after that.
Oh well, I admit that the auntie was just an 'object' of displacement. I simply displaced my initial anger on the next thing that came along. And too bad for her, she stepped on my foot. Though the incident didn't quite appease me as much I wished it did (Jogging @ gym did, thankfully), I did feel slightly better!
Did feel a little guilty for being so harsh on that auntie. But I'll definitely say the same thing to her again, maybe softer and probably rephrase it a little. (I'll try my best la~)
Overall, the experience reinforced my negative image of public transport -especially buses. I conclude, I'll just not be lazy and walk to the train station in future.... (well, at least it's good exercise too!)
KeY's wish came true...
Yap. It's all finalized. KeY's little wish is finally coming true. (Not without a fair bit of emotional blackmail =P.. poor zim)
But anyway, budget's set aside =) and leave approved! Now I'm all set to head over to Geneva for 4 days and Zurich for another 4 days! Just needa settle my work (which isn't much to begin with) and of course do a fair amount of packing.
As usual, I'm dreading the 12 hour flight and transit. But the joy of finally being in Europe with Zim will (hopefully) be overwhelming enough to get me by the flight. Can't wait to take gorgerous pictures of cathedrals and museums (i know this doesn't sound very exciting.. but it's something I'm looking forward to!) and of course, sitting at outdoor cafes, cycling around the town and most importantly, put my really rusty deustch to use! think I better bring along my german english dictionary! (Just in case)
Anyway.. looking forward to my trip!!!!!!!!
And of course, thank you Zim for making my wish come true...(I really do appreciate it!)

Geneva...
Zim's going geneva again in Nov and I really want to tag along...
I dream of myself sitting in an outdoor cafe somewhere along the streets of geneva, slipping a cup of hot chocolate, reading a book and occassionally lifting up my head to check out the people walking past me in the streets. To simply just laze around the place, visiting museums, monuments and parks, strolling along the Geneva lake alone, waiting for Zim's work day to end before heading over to a decent restaurant and enjoy good steak accompanied by red wine. Holding his hand in the cold weather as we walk along the streets of geneva, discussing his workday and how wonderful it would be if Singapore would have the four seasons too. Window shopping in Malls and boutiques that sell goreous but sadly, unaffordable accessories.. and of course, shopping for gifts (probably in the form of chocolates) for friends and family and collegues... Just spend a week, just the two of us in a laid back country before returning back to reality...
Of course, in reality, dreams are expensive... Afterall, I only just started working... my pathetic savings can cover no more than the air ticket to Frankfurt, not to mention the transfer flight to geneva. In addition, going for this trip would set us back from our plans to go US next year.. Unless, I'm willing to eat air and drink water for the next few weeks, even months, it's gonna be financially impossible for me to pay for the whole trip (inclusion of air fare and expenditure and lodging). Spoke to Mom about it and she suggested that I could ask Dad to sponsor me. Honestly, I'm really tempted to do so. But again, I feel kinda bad, afterall, I am supposed to financially independent now. Maybe a loan from Dad might just work out.
Keeping my fingers crossed on another issue - whether I'm able to get 1 weeks' leave from work. Since I started working in the middle of the year, I'm only entitled 8 days of leave, of which I already took one. So thereotically, I could take up to 1 weeks' leave. But still, the CC operates on a shift basis and the absence of one staff would mean reduced manpower and thus, the rest having to cover up my duties. Although I seriously doubt that the CC will 'die' without me, I'm still a little concerned if my boss is willing to grant me the approval for my leave.
With so many obstacles in place, there's a high chance that my dreams ain't gonna come true this time round...
Oh well... that's life...

Top five in KeY's heart...
Yap, I'm very eng today, finally got a good break from work and no friends to go out with =P... LOL... so I decided to update my friends on what's the love(s) of KeY's life right now...
Here it goes....
Here it goes....
Number 5...
Something I cannot leave home without... KeY's ipod...
I'm a 101% music person.. I cannot imagine life without music... and of course, I absolutely hate travelling without music! Hence, I swear by my ipod! Was a X'mas present from number 1 (now you know who he is) and it's been with me throughout the past six months. when I'm slogging for my final exams, when I'm flying in the plane away from him.. at least this was what kept me company...
Was watching oprah just now (one of my sinful indulgence)... felt like she was endorsing ipod.. kept mentioning ipod here and there... Well, the main point is she was asking what songs the guests on the show were playing on their ipod.. Hee, Hm.. got me wondering.. what am I playing in MY ipod...
Actually..though I've a 30GB ipod... the amount of music I have is less than 1GB.. (sissy was complaining that I'm totally under-ultizing my ipod and insisted I swap with him so that he can do the ipod justice =P no way sista!) and the best part is... for the last 1 week.. no matter where i go... I've only 1 song on repeat mode... yes, which means.. I've been listening to the same song over and over and over again....
LOL... and the best part is.. I'm still not stick of the song.... =P

Number 4...
Latest addition into the Loo family...
Finally bought my own pair of blades... I'm sooooooo in love with her right now... (decided to use 'her' as she's afterall a womens' skates) I guess it's the sense of accomplishment that I bought them using my hard-earned money (though i seriously think i overpaid) and Of course, her gorgeous appearance and her ability to let me skate with speed...
Can't wait till my next blading session... wooo-hooo...

Number 3...
We have a love-hate relationship... Though it was love at first sight.. there were sooo many times when you pissed me off with things you can't do that other laptops can.. And of course, there are as many times you wow me over with the cute little stunts you can do that others can't... Hence, you are still number 3 in my life.. Can't imagine life without you..
*Laptop bag's a samsonite!! hee.. thanks to number 1 who bought it for me on a working trip to Indo.. That way..my apple baby can rest comfortably when I'm not using it...
A gorgeous red cover I bought in taiwan.. doesn't it just make my apple baby so chic?
Have to admit.. did spend quite a bit dolling the macbook up.. think i spent a few hundred dollars just to protect it...but honestly, each time I look at it... i'm totally convinced that the money's well spent...
I love my apple baby~

Number 2...
I was contemplating whether to put them in the first or second place... But after some thoughts..(and the possibilty that number one will sulk for a day if he ends up as number two) I decided to put my two little babies in the 2nd place...
If it's your first time seeing them, let me introduce.. They are two little PIGS. (I repeat, PIGS)... had them for 14 years.. came to me as my birthday present (well, mom forgot to buy me presents when I was 9, so before she came home from work that fateful day, she popped by watsons and paid $3.90 for one of them -ah ping. Few days later, she popped by watson again and saw one last pig left, and she decided to pay $3.90 again to buy it for me - ah pong..Guess if she had foreseen the attachment issues I have, she probably wouldn't buy them for me if she could choose again... ) Too late.. well, they came as little pigs that were bright pink in colour and even had a cute curly tail.. but after a few wash and a decade.. they are uniformly grey, and the cute curl in their tails were washed off...damn~
Definitely one of the most precious things in my life.. Can't believe life without them... Hee.. managed to catch them in action searching through Zim's pile of magic cards...
The one in green stripe is called Orson (aka Ah Ping) while the one in the brown white shirt is called Orwin (aka Ah Pong)
Believe me, I can go on and on about their personality and stuff... but to spare the readers the agony.. that's all I'm gonna brag about here... Hee.. moving on~
*Oh, and just if case you're wondering.. I'm definitely sane~*

Number 1...
Yap.. no surprises as usual... and of course, once again, formality...
But nonetheless.. he's the man behind KeY! Or rather, KeY is the erm.. woman behind him...(no chen qiwei, think straight).. Yap... been a great support (emotionally and of course, financially =P) for the past 3.5 years of my life and definitely many more years to come...
Maybe I should try to not ill-treat him so much... =P

It's finally here!
After waiting painstakingly for one whole month... it's finally here!
KeY's very first own credit card! Muahahahahahahhahhha
It's pretty exciting having my very own card finally.. at least I won't need to account to my mom each time i use my supplementary card..(the price to pay using a supplementary is havin' the need to patiently explain why you had to use the card, what you bought, why do you have to be the one to foot the bill for dinner blah blah blah... to the person who is going to get the bill, which in my case, is my mom...Definitely a process I detest) BUT! From now on, I have only to account to myself... and that totally rocks...
Presenting....
(thanks to zim who reminded me that I've to remove the serial numbers on my card.. I was so ready to just post the whole card online..LOL... stoopid key)
Anyway, no doubt I'm a little concerned about my lousy financial head... but thank god for my personal finance consultant -Mr. Zim, i've slightly more confidence that I will not overspend...
hee.. looking forward to using my UOB lady's card!!!!

KeY's latest craze...
I'm obsessed with Origins...
Totally obsessed....
Can't wait till my next paycheck....
So gonna buy a moisturizer from Origins to add on my goregous collection...
woo-hoo~
Family matters...
Feeling really frustrated right now... Mom pissed me off once again.. Sigh.. I really wished I could be much more patient with her.. but it's so difficult that I've almost gave up trying...As much as one part of me has already given up, the other part of me still wants to be a filial daughter.. and seriously, it's extremely difficult...
It's really draining...She doesn't seemed to want to listen to me... Did an errand for her, explained the situation and settled the issue... Yet She just kept asking me to do same stupid errand again and again and again even after I found out the answer...Just because it's not the answer she wanted, she kept asking me to repeat the task...For goodness sake.. I already went the exra mile to get the errand done in the first place and now she kept asking for more..
Aiya. don't know lah.. Really frustrated now that I can't even think straight (so if u don't understand what I just wrote, it's okay)... I just know that I'm really unhappy with her.. and seriously have nothing much to say to her...
Wish she could be more understanding and appreciative...
Or rather.. I Wish she would just leave me alone...

KeY's New Routine...
Been cultivating a daily routine recently. Besides catching my favourite animes on a particular website each night, there is one thing I need to do each and every night before I sleep....
Almost driving my cousin crazy with my new routine. I can almost swear that if I continue doing it for another couple of weeks, she's so gonna kidnap my ah ping and throw him down the rubbish chute.. but for now, I don't care... =P
My new routine is... *drum rolls*...- I have to play the MTV of <天冷就回来> every single night before I sleep... It's the aftermath of the musical "If there're seasons" lah.. I'm still totally infatuated with George chan.. (yeah, I heard he's gay, but whatever, I'm sooo in love with his voice...) and l shall repeat myself, I can't help but be in love with his voice!!!!! *Melts~*.. (Yeah, no surprises but yes, I would replay the segment in the MTV with him singing solo again and again...)
And of course, I enjoy torturing my cousin.. Guess it's called revenge~ Afterall, she has been torturing my little babies for the past decade, so it's time I pay back the debt... Definitely killin' two birds with one stone - first, I get to drool over my latest crush. Second, I get to hear my cousin scream: "Noooooooooooooo... not again!" ..
Muahahahhaha, only 1 word can describe this feeling...
shiok~

'Evan Almighty'
Caught 'Evan Almighty' today... Nothing wow or exciting. Just simple entertainment. Simply a movie that you can do without.. Despite that, there was a scene in the movie that struck me at my face, caught me by surprise and gave me a wake up call...
No, I'm not planning to build an ark, though I would really love the company of the cute wild animals...it's obviously something more meaningful...
It's just that I've always believed in god.. Yet I don't consider myself a christian now.. I'm just someone that believes that god exists. Period. Although I'm often envious of devoted christians around me who have a relationship to God and able to 'talk' to him, I just hate the fact that the same isn't happening to me... I prayed and asked for faith time and time again, asked for him to 'talk' to me and for me to come into my life.. but it never came.. and, so, rather ashamed to say this, I gave up trying... I withdrew from him completely. I remembered that once upon a time, I was proud to say that I'm christian... Eventually, my answer went to 'sort of like a christian'...but now, I would simply answer 'freethinker'. Whatever little relationship I had with God faded off overtime and I feel totally detached from him now... It just seemed to me that despite my prayers, my faith isn't growing and my relationship isn't developing. Of course, the typical human nature led me to conclude that maybe it just ain't meant to be, although deep down inside, I knew that it's because I wasn't trying hard enough and sadly, couldn't be bothered to do so...
There were times when I really believed that it's going to work out.. really enthusiatic about my growing faith.. yet there were even more times when things just ain't happening as I've expected. It just seemed to me that he has nothing install for me.. Just as if, it didn't make any difference in my life whether I believed him anot. Life just goes on as usual...as eventually I chose to simply not do anything at all...
The message in the movie that slapped me awake mentioned that when you pray for courage, god does not just give you courage. He creates opportunities for you to demonstrate and develop courage or when you pray for love and closeness within the family, god doesn't just make your family closer and more loving, he simply creates opportunities for your family to bond and become closer..
I went cold.. it just struck me.. Maybe it's not that god didn't answer my prayers.. it's just that I haven't treasured the opportunities that he gave me to develop my faith and relationship with him. When I prayed for faith and for him to enter my life, I simply expected him to literally walk right in and 'talk' to me and with that I would be able to have a relationship with him that are similar to my other friends. Thinking about it, I can't help but wonder how foolish I was to have such a ridiculous and unrealistic expectation... Maybe he did give me soo many opportunities for me to open my heart to him, but I simply ignored that and instead even thought that he hasn't answered me at all...
It's amazing how things happen when u least expect it... Who could have expected that I could gain such a meaningful message from a dumb comedy... I have to admit it gave me a second ray of hope... I believe it's time I start from scratch.. To rebuild this faith and relationship all over again...
Maybe this time round, I might be able to reach the end...

It's amazing how things happen when u least expect it... Who could have expected that I could gain such a meaningful message from a dumb comedy... I have to admit it gave me a second ray of hope... I believe it's time I start from scratch.. To rebuild this faith and relationship all over again...
Maybe this time round, I might be able to reach the end...

Work...
Pretty bad day at work today...Kinda tough discussing details here as i can roughly foresee several possible consequences. So, pardon me... just let me grumble a bit.. to let off some steam... to let me cool down...
I'm cooking a recipe for potential disaster. And the best of all, the killer ingredients are not due to my negligence... not due to my carelessness or anything within my control.. It's instead due to what people are doing or rather not doing.. People who are screwing up my work for me... people who are for some reasons avoiding my (numerous) calls... people who are just unreasonable and people who are not sticking to deadlines they promised me. It's not like I'm being unreasonable. I gave ample time and informed them way before.. yet things still can't be done...
i'm seriously frustrated. I detest the thought that I might be getting a scolding from my boss for screw-ups that were not directly caused by me. It's not like I'm not doing my work, not like I'm careless or forgot something. If I am responsible for the screw-up, I admit defeat and will gladly accept the 'punishment'. But I just can't take it lying down when the responsible party is actually someone else. I'm willing to go all the way out to complete the task, all I need is to get them on the phone to convey my intentions and I can't even reach them. Something tells me that they are avoiding my calls... and it's so irritating that there is really nothing I can do without offending them...
Handling people is definitely a challenge and for now, I'm not doing it right. At least it appears so... Seems like I'm going to spend my OFF day trying to get my hands on them... worrying if the task will be done...
Wished I have more control.. I don't mind doing extra work... I just need the required documents in.. I'm more than glad to do the sorting out no matter how messy the documents are.. Is it really that diffcult? I don't think I'm asking too much. It's just a simple request.
I'm not blaming anyone.. (or maybe I am) But I'm really frustrated with how little control I've on the situation... I wished I could do more... or rather, they would do just a little bit more...
Despite this, I'm definitely aware that there are others who do their parts in helping me complete my tasks on time. I appreciate and thank those who geniunely went all the way out to help... and secretly hope that the rest will just do the same...
One more day...
Hope he comes...

A hell of a weekend...
Finally able to get 2 consecutive weekend days off... All thanks to my birthday that also falls on a weekend... Some logical, yet stupid unwritten rule at work forbids us to take consecutive weekend days off without taking the friday and monday off. So theoretically, you need to burn 3 off days just to get that weekend off. Sigh, gotten used to my fate and let's move on...
Started off the weekend with 2 persons KTV at Marina's Kbox. Amzaing how I was able to wake up on time for this...Been sooooo long since I went Ktv, kinda rusty already, but who cares.. LOL, nothing exciting, but it was fun...
Followed by, a fantastic musical: 天冷就回来 (If there're seasons...). Superb act. Although there were occassional hiccups, the whole story line was touching, sad yet fun. Of course, the actors were fabulous, with goregous voices that easily captivated the audience and acting that were full of emotions and life. No doubt KeY cried her eyes out.. (every single time 小静 appears, I will cry). It helps that I was familiar with most of the songs, hence able to digest the songs better. Of course, the Singapore style musical always include lyrics. So, no worries on that. In addition, the musical changed my views on several songs. I never knew 细水长流 could be sang with such a sad story behind it, reminiscing times spent with someone who has passed on, T_T. I didn't know that 天冷就回来's lyrics was so meaningful until the musical. Plus, I didn't like 陪你看日出 initially as the song was totally overplayed. But after the musical, I am in love with the song~
But the best thing about the musical experience was that we were sitting on the very first row. First time ever in a musical was I able to see the every details of the actors' faces. And it totally felt like they were singing and performing just for me. Sigh~I really wanna watch it one more time... but too bad tickets are sold out.. guess I've to wait till 2009...
Met up with my beloved sistas and brother for dinner and for a drink. Went over to Long Bar @ Raffles Hotel for a drink... Interesting place with nice decor and a different concept. Each table has a whole bowl of peanuts (unlimited). The fun part of the place is that you are free to sweep the peanut case off the table onto the floor, or simply just throw the case anywhere on the floor (or, erm, on your friends). So everyone was able to relax and had fun throwing peanuts @ each other. Though the variety of drinks was not fantastic, the overall experience was interesting... No photos with me though... Shall wait for Qian to clear her work before she uploads the photos (if ever)...LOL
Day ended with mahjong (damn, i lost $$, but thanks to Zim who covered my loss with his wins, tmd) and supper @ Prata place over beauty world, which was of course accompanied by a hell lot of juicy gossips...
But overall, thanks sistas for spending my last day as a 22 year old with me... LOL
Another exciting day tmr...
Happy Birthday KeY! =P

Wish List...
I know it's tough for you guys to get presents for me... But honestly, it's equally hard for me to think of what i actually want... Maybe it's the new earning ability, there isn't really anything that I want that I can't afford to buy... it's more like I'm too stingy to part with the money.. In addition, there's nothing I really really really, die-die must have... LOL...it's not that I'm contented with what I've.. it's just that, I can't be bothered to think and that there's nothing out there that's really amusing or attractive enough... so, for those who are seriously cracking their brains, I'm really sorry... think harder... =P
ALthough I do have some ridiculous wishes..
1. Return Ticket to US.... (New York OR LA will be good...) Open dates please, since getting leave from work is a painful process...
2. Tickets to musicals: Rent, Wicked & Hairspray... (Open dates too!)
3. A puppy... (this is on my list since forever... might remain for a lot while more)
4. A cute guy in my office.. some eye candy that I can check out... preferably looks like and talks like daniel wu..
5. A damn HDB flat... (it's not that I don't wanna get married, it's just that our beloved government isn't releasing enough units.. so poor zim & key have NO place to stay..so get married for wat~)
Okay okay.. I'll be more practical...
1. Erm...
2. Erm.....
3. Erm.......
4. Erm.........
Sorry guys... tried my best...
Last words: Use your creativity... (oh, and... erm... please don't hate me....)
PS: Zim has no clue either, he won't be of much help~
^_^

Public Transport...
4 main reasons why I 'LOVE' taking public transport..
1. Waiting at the bus stop allows me sooo much time to enjoy the breeze (which is often a combination of really hot air and pollution from numerous exhaust pipes) in the wonderful sunny Island..
2. Buses never fails to meet and stop at every single red light possible...(wow.. gives me sooooo much time to appreciate the wonderful Singapore scenery, isn't it puuuurfect?)
3. TV Mobile plays sooooo loudly that I can save batt on my ipod since I can barely hear the music from my ipod... or at times free techno music blasting from other passengers' phones.. so sweet of them to share the 'wonderful' music with everyone...
4. It's a great place for exercise as there are barely enough seats for anyone, hence I would normally stand throughout the trip, oh all thanks to aunties that would so considerately hog two seats. Guess they knew i needed the workout... Great workout for calves indeed...
So 'looking forward' to my next bus ride...
