I Saw Thomas Ong! (:

Just reached home!
The Financial Management exam wasn't so bad.
I didn't really study for the theory part but I don't think it's going to affect my fate of passing or failing the module,
as long as I get most of the questions for the calculations correct.

Okay.
So I went to meet the bf at the National Library after my exam to study.
But end up didn't really study a lot.
So when we were about to leave,
we were at the elevators when the bf said to me,
"那个人很熟."
I turned around and guess who it was?
THOMAS ONG!
The bf said it quite loudly so I think Mr. Thomas Ong must have heard him,
so he turned over to look at us.
And that's when I turned to look at him! (:
*Drools all over the floor*

Pics of the baby:

Last night's episode of Desperate Housewives!

Last night's episode of Desperate Housewives was great!
Definitely the most intense episode ever! (:
I'm going to check out the website or something.

Today I'm going to prepare for tomorrow's Financial Management exam.
Actually I haven't studied anything until last night.
I always hug the Buddha's leg at the last minute.
Luckily he let me hug. >.<

Today's Exam

Okay.
So the exam wasn't as bad as I had expected.
At least some things I had studied did come out.
And at least I was able to take the exam.
I lived in fear for the past few weeks that I was going to barred from taking the exam.
But no, there no bracketed words beside my name on the list that said I was barred.
I was constantly skipping classes.
1 down, 2 more to go. (:

New Playlist

This is much better!
Listen to the first song!
It's FUCKING NICE!

My Deteriorating Memory!

I realised with a jolt yesterday when I was studying that I'm now not as good as memorizing stuff for exams,
compared to when I was in secondary school.
Is it that I'm getting old or are the things I'm studying are so boring that I can't get them into my head?
By hook or by crook, I've got to get them in,
with tomorrow being the big day, and all.

I've been meaning to blog about the recent shocking news of the salary of our gahmen ministers and all that,
but I don't want to seem like I'm opposing the gahmen (starting to suspect that I am).
Was in the library yesterday and the bf went to hunt for some foreign newspapers,
and even the Hong Kong paper has the news of the salaries of our gahmen people's on the front page!
ON THE FRONT PAGE!
And as compared to other countries Presidents and such,
ours are very very well-off.
I'll stop here.
In case I go on and on and really become a gahmen opposer.

It's raining outside.
I love the rain.
Except when I'm outside.
Cos I refuse to buy myself some new slippers.
I may fall to my death anytime.

Check him out!

This guy is really good.
He has had 18,243,495 views on YouTube, the last time I checked.

Exams Next Week! >.<

Not feeling so good.
Am dreading the coming week.
That's the "week of exams".
But whatever,
I'll be able to see Ethan too.

Am starting to think the baby's kind of cute.
Adorable when he's happy, but has a roaring temper when he's unhappy.
He's coming every morning around 7.30 - 8am,
and goes home at 7 plus in the evening.
A whole 12 hours with us.
Looking forward to the next few months,
when he'll start to grow and play and crawl and maybe even talk.
He's going to be a fast learner, this one.
We can already see he's smart.
He'll be up and running in no time. (:

Update

I went to the library for a while just now.
Came home and Ma was feeding Ethan.
After feeding, he released 2 or 3 humongous burps.
I burst out laughing cos he had a very weird expression on his face when he burped.
He then proceeded to pee on me.
And then cry like there's no tomorrow.
Noisy kid. ):

The baby

So the baby was here yesterday, along with mother and father.
They are going to keep coming until Thursday.
The baby kept eating and farting.
Haha.

My Saturday Afternoon

I'm in the library with him now.
I'm spending so much time with him,
but it's never enough.
Well, you understand.

So yesterday my cousin, her husband, and the baby came over.
I was sort of napping when my Ma opened my door with the baby in her arms,
to "introduce" us.
He was wearing this bright green one-piece baby suit,
I thought he looked like a bright green cabbage.
Without my specs I'm blind,
so I sat up and leaned in to see his face properly.
When I peered at his face,
he sort of shook his head and squirmed to get away.
Didn't get off to a very good start, did we?
No, didn't think so.

Me and my sis have started to call him The Caterpillar (because of his green suit).
I'm contemplating calling him Little Green Man.
Anyway,
his name is Ethan Mak Kai Jie.

My Thursday Morning

Not feeling so good.
Feeling very sleepy.
Consideration is being made for going back to sleep,
but I've got so many things yet to be completed.
Feeling kind of lethargic and nasal.
Not having blocked nose but voice sounds terribly whiny, for some reason.
Around 7:15am, the Ma dropped the bamboo thing before putting the clothes out to dry.
The noise jolted me awoke.
I am not happy.

Mother and son will be arriving tomorrow.
Being Good Friday and a public holiday, the father may probably be here too.
They'll be bringing the baby cot and nappies and bottles and pacifiers and milk formulas and all the things that troublesome
babies need.
Baby and I will be laying our eyes on each other for the first time tomorrow.
Hope we will give each other good first impressions.
We will be seeing a lot of each other.
A lot.

This is my short hair.
Not particularly pleased with it.
But whatever.

My new loves

And Gerard Way.
I think he looks better with short black hair,
like in the video of 'I Don't Love You'.

Update!

Just received news that the baby will be arriving next Monday.
I've got no school then, but he'll be a major distraction from my studying.
I'll be teaching him to laugh like the angmoh baby of the video I took from YouTube.
Heh.

There's this guy with the darker skin colour from another race (I'm not going to say the "I" word),
I can't believe how hao lian he is.
He parked his Honda (not very good or new) right outside the lecture theatre.
After class, all of us went out and saw him in his car,
with his stereo blasted way too loud,
driving off.
He was playing some outdated ghastly techno song.
People were laughing.
Can you imagine?
Ugh, I hate this kind of people.

Someone To Laugh Along With

My Chemical Romance - I Don't Love You

Fall Out Boy - Thnks fr th Mmrs

Quit-Smoking Advert

I see her everywhere.
On the TV, in bus shelters, in newspapers.
This ad was meant to shock people into quitting smoking, for good.
It shocked people well.
The Singapore Smoking Control Campaign's toll-free smoking QuitLine has seen a five-fold
increase in the number of calls.
On 28th March, the Health Promotion Board also launched another advertising tactic at
Raffles Place, featuring a "sick patient" on a stretcher being monitored by a doctor,
and nurses distributing flyers to the lunchtime crowd.
Although this effort pushes smokers to quit their bad habit,
parents are also worried.
The TV ads are now only going to be shown from 8pm onwards,
when most children would not be watching TV.
Complaints were received from parents that after watching the ads,
the children had nightmares.

It's enough to shock me,
what have we got to say about children?
I was walking to the bus stop after school on Friday,
when I saw this women at the bus stop again.
And for the rest of the day I had her gross image glued to my mind.
Let's hope there are not going to be any more of this kind of ads.

My Saturday

So I'm at the National Library now, with him.
The Internet connection really sucks.
I found the Marketing Management book I wanted and am really happy about it.
Along with it I found a really new and nice (most comics are all tatted and torn) Calvin
and Hobbes comic.
Now all we do is sit at the library during weekends,
and sometimes even weekdays.
Well, all the time.
You think that's boring?
I think it's good.
I love books. (:

I surprise myself sometimes.
I never knew I could write that kind of stuff.

A Haircut

I just went and got me a haircut.
The hairdresser chopped off half a ton of my gorgeous mane off my precious head.
I think she has a problem with my Ma.
My Ma used to have a problem with her.
So she cut off most of my hair for vengence?
But that's stupid.
I'm the innocent party!
*Cries*

LOVE

I know I love to say that love changes people and this and that,
I really mean it.
Love makes you do things you never knew you would do.
Like going long distances (I mean literally).
I've been travelling from Toa Payoh to Jurong East to see him,
but not all the time of course.
Would you do that just to see a friend?
I would probably say,
"YOU SIAOW AH!!! So far, you come here lah!!!!"
Xiao Hong once asked me if I loved someone,
would I go all the way to Joo Chiat to buy chee cheong fun for him?
I said yes.
His question made me think a lot.
I guess love makes people excited somehow.
This anticipation...
This happiness you feel.
I used to have this feeling of my heart swelling (no, it's not a heart condition)
and face gets hot and stomach fluttering thing going on inside me.
I sort of miss that feeling.
Now everything's just going on as it's supposed to be.
Nothing exciting anymore.
But I still get that feeling of luuuuurve when I look at him.
One year ago,
Xiao Hong used to ask me why I keep smiling to myself at work.
He could see that glow.
It's like, if you've seen someone in love, you'll immediately sense it.
It's like a glow, somehow emiting from the person's aura,
that differntiates that person from everybody else.
Some people say they don't need love,
that single is the best, whatever.
Well, I can say, they are bluffing.
Love is the best feeling in the world.
Love is what everybody should look out for in life.
Love is what everybody is looking out for in life.
To love and be loved.
Just having that feeling once is enough.

Somehow love makes you stronger,
makes you more matured,
makes you less selfish,
makes you wake up every morning feeling really happy.
There are things you wouldn't do when you're not in love.
Like just staring at the handphone,
wishing he would sms or call you RIGHT NOW.
Like wishing the bus or train would move faster,
so you can see him sooner.
Like taking up cooking,
so you can cook for him.
Like washing the dishes with him and feeling nice,
although it's something you deeply loathe.
Like loving kids and wanting to have some,
so that you can raise a family with him.

For some reason,
I'm humming to Nat King Cole's L.O.V.E.
Hmmm,
I wonder why.

Update!

Received the news that there won't be a break after the exams.
New modules start immediately after the week of exams.
We need a break.
I mean, we're not exactly up to our eyebrows with textbooks,
but at least have the decency to spare us just one measly break after the exams?
Okay, what's the use of me protesting?
If I complain to the management, I may just get myself kicked out of the school.

Next week's the last week of school,
before we break (I mean, study week) for the exams.
Gotta reeeeeally buck up.

With the bad news done,
now the good news:
MY BACK DOESN'T HURT NO MORE! (:

I love it that when our body gets hurt or sick,
it will automatically repair itself.
Just sleep that pain/sickness away!
But you'll probably need a lot, a lot of sleep.

These days have been busy rushing project and homework.
Now that they're done,
I can take a breath.
It doesn't really take up a lot of time,
but I hate datelines.
I just have this feeling of dread,
whenever a dateline looms near.
Like for example, library date dues, payment date dues,
especially homework datelines.
I mean, even if I had finished it early,
I'd still hate it.

The Lingering Smell

I woke up the past two mornings smelling of Tiger Balm,
went to sleep at night smelling of Tiger Balm,
Don't think I'll be rid of Tiger fucking Balm for some time.
It's not doing me much good.

Exams are around the corner.
It'll be much, much more difficult this time around.
I'll have to keep reminding myself that I'm smart,
and I can accomplish anything I want.
So that I'll be confident.
Nah, I'm kidding.
If I'm able to pass Financial Management,
I'll thank the Gods, the Heavens, and my smartness. (;

My Unlucky Saturday

After the night of pizza,
I think I must have sprained my back or something cos now I have a fuck of a backache.
PY did you spread it to me?
But there's no such thing as contagious backache,
so I've got no one to blame,
not even myself.
Or maybe I over-exerted myself.

Anyway, despite the nagging pain in my back,
I stubbornly went out to see the bf at Jurong East,
I wish we went to Bugis instead,
cos it's so much nearer to home.
Yeah, I was there for a few hours,
maybe 3?
Then I really couldn't stand the pain anymore,
I was sitting on the floor and felt as stiff as a log.
Standing up and stretching did not help,
I could even stretch without wincing in pain.
And weird sounds escaping from people's lips are not tolerated at the library.
So we left,
and headed to the nearest Waston's to buy me some meds.
If not for the Panadol,
I don't think I would have made it home.
I bought a box of Panadol Extend and some Tiger Balm plaster.
Now I'm sitting at home with painkiller in my stomach,
and Tiger Balm on my back.
I feel a little better.
Yeah, a little.

Oh yeah,
and I left my thumbdrive at the library.
I was on the bus (luckily not too far from the library),
when I suddenly scrambled down the bus,
and walked as fast as I could to the library (my back hurt like hell).
I called the bf, too.
He was about to board the train,
luckily he did not.
He reached the library shortly before I did.
He found it, thank God.
No, thank God no one's eyes were sharp enough to see a stray thumbdrive lying on the floor.

All in all,
quite a disastrous day.
Not one of my happiest days, no.

Pizza Making Night

Yesterday was kind of fun.
I reached PY's house only to sit there and watch TV for a while,
and after that we went to buy the ingredients for pizza.
We had to make do without using an oven.
But overall I still think it was quite successful,
if not a mess. (:
Here are some pics:

My Friday Evening

Am at Peiying's house now.
Was feeling bored and chatted with her on MSN but somehow I ended here at her house cooking dinner and making 4 pizzas.
Just had dinner now.
Will upload pictures another time.

Being A Ma

Nothing much is happening in my life,
I guess that's why I don't blog so much anymore.
This week is supposed to be my one week break.
But the management went and took it away,
leaving us with 2 days of lesson this week.
It's not that bad, I guess.

This is already the midst of March.
April is coming along and it will bring with it a baby to our house.
No, I'm not giving birth,
my Ma is going to be the nanny of our cousin's little boy.
I've never seen him before.
I only know he's 3 months old, dark skinned, and have long legs.

Um, everybody, please stop saying there's something wrong with this, something wrong with that, about my blog.
I can't change all the mistakes.
There's a bug in blogger that goes around screwing up some people's blog.
Maybe if we leave it alone it'll return back to its original state.

I'm feeling fucked up.
Don't feel so good these days.
Been thinking about the past and the childhood.
I typed and saved parts of my feelings about my past...
Dunno if I should put that in the blog or not.
All I know is that I hated reading it,
and I hated myself for writing it.
I found myself crying after writing it.

I guess being in love makes you think about the future.
Buying the house, the car, the children...
Well I've been thinking a lot about the last bit.
I think if I were to be pregnant now,
I won't feel that bad.
The ones who are going to freak out are my parents and the bf.
I want a boy, he wants a girl.
But it's not up to us to decide, I guess.
I'd raise him/her like the most important thing to me in my life.
He/She would wake up in the mornings and I'll be the first person he/she sees.
I'd bring him/her to McDonald's to have breakfast once in a while,
like my Ma did.
We'll bring him/her to the beach, the library,
we'll go kite-flying...
I want to be a good Ma.

Somebody bought my dream car!

Wah lau!
Blinkymummy and her 'Good Fren' bought my dream car!
White colour some more.
I WANT!!!!!

I so love this song.
It's 'How To Save A Life' by The Fray

Yo, Girrrls!

Watched The Tyra Banks Show.
Don't usually watch that talk show but I was to help my Ma shred chicken breast meat,
so what the hell, I turned on the TV to watch something and shred chicken at the same time.
I love American talk shows.
Ophra Winfrey, Ellen Degeneres, Tyra Banks...
Well, today's episode of The Tyra Banks Show is one of the best I've seen.
It started with Tyra Banks showing pictures of herself being taken by some person,
who got the unflattering angle of Tyra Banks.
She looked, well, fat.
So the guy must have sold the picture to the American tabloids and said Tyra Banks gained 40 pounds.
She started the show clarifying that,
let's put it in my less civilised terms,
"TO HELL WITH YOUR SHIT STORIES!!!"
She actually shouted, with a choked voice, to the tabloids and paparazzi,
"KISS MY FAT ASS!"
Okay, then following that,
the show began with the topic of the weight issue,
more specifically, anorexia.

It's really kind of scary.
To watch these women feel so uncomfortable in their own skin.
They make themselves believe that they will be more beautiful if they lose an extra pound, an extra inch,
by simply not eating.
There was this married mother of two, who was also anorexic, who went on the show.
She's 27, and weighs 75 pounds.
How much is that?
30+kg?
She's 27 and looks like a 9 year old kid.
I bet you could take a pair of chop sticks and hit her ribs and you could make a musical intrument out of her ribs.
She looked frail and very very unhealthy.
Let's just say that if she happens to be caught in a strong wind,
she just might fly away with it.

I'm glad there are not too many cases of anorexia in Singapore.
But I've seen some girls who are way way way too skinny.
There was once, in the MRT, a very very skinny girl sat beside me.
Her arms were just bones wrapped with skin.
I bet she couldn't be pinched.
Imgaine hugging her.
*Shudders*
Anyway, she and her friend came and sit beside me.
Luckily, her friend looked more healthy.
At first, I didn't notice her skinniess.
Cos you don't sit in the train and directly turn to the person beside you to look at him or her.
People started staring at her and that's when I noticed.
I tell you, I sure as hell wanted to get away.
Maybe run to the other bunk or something,
in case somebody looked at the both of us and started seeing the vast difference.
I will personally kill the person who says,
"Wah! So big difference ah!",
and following that,
shoot myself.
Luckily, that did not happen.

The problem behind all of this weight loss craze and anorexic girls is that these girls lack confidence and self-esteem.
The word anorexia would never have been invented if everybody could look at themselves in the mirror and say
with a bright smile, "I'm beautiful!"
They feel so uncomfortable in their own skin,
they have to keep losing weight to reassure themselves that they are beautiful.
I'm not saying skinny isn't good.
Healthy skinny is okay,
but not life-threatening skinny.
To think, half a century ago,
people would be fighting for food,
instead of now, pushing their plates away.

Blackness.

Was in class having Financial Management,
when I felt a slight shaking of the floor.
Left, right, left, right...
Thought the table was shaking,
so I removed my arms from the table.
I asked my friend if he felt it,
he said no.
Then laughingly said,
"Earthquake in Indonesia? Hahaha."
We left it at that.

Then I was chatting with bf on the phone
when I received an sms from that same classmate.
It said, "Really got earthquake just now in Indonesia!"
I burst out laughing.
Just finished a good book,
Girl In Times Square by Paullina Simons.

Been reading a lot.
I discovered my love for reading when I was young.
Pa used to say I'm never seen without a book.
Now he doesn't say anything.

Feeling sad today.
My mood was deeply affected by a question I asked a friend,
of something that happened in the past.
And I thought of death.
A car sped by,
ignoring the red light.
I was about to cross the road.
I thought about the events that would follow,
if I were to take that wrong step,
just one step earlier.
What would I see then?
Red lights?
A crowd gathering?
The sky crying for me?
Or just nothing?
Blackness.

Where would I go?

Toto, HUAT AH!

The toto results came out at 10 last night.
I was about to switch off the TV,
when out of curiosity,
I turned to Teletext to see what the numbers the whole nation has been trying to guess was.
Was thinking of betting, too, initially.
Well, maybe at around 7:30PM last night,
with only 1 hrs 30 mins left before they closed the bet.
Then maybe I decided that I must try my luck next year.
10 million, you know.
Not a small sum.
Bf told me the average amount being betted was $20.
So $20 times the Singapore population, 4.6 million,
which is equals to $92 million.
So the gahmen must have to give the winning price 10 million,
when in fact they earn about 82 million.
That's great.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

It's been raining since yesterday.
I can't stand it anymore.
I ruined my plans for yesterday.
I want to go out!
Without holding a fucking umbrella.

Handphone Shop Story

I'm here to continue the story of the handphone shop thing.
Monday night, my sis went to help me get the things from the shop.
Okay, we're supposed to get the crystal case, desktop charger, and have an exchange of the battery.
When my sis got there and told the guy about the battery,
she said he looked a little panicky and worried.
So anybody would have seen right through him.
And they actually didn't get the stocks for the crystal case,
when he told me last week they'd get them by Monday.
So my gungho sis showed him a black face and probably said something nasty,
which sent him scurrying to another handphone shop to borrow a crystal case first.
Then my sis came home, with an air of triumph.

The thing that infuriates me the most is,
they obviously want to cheat people of the battery right?
Why can't they be more professional about it?
That guy told me on the phone last week,
"There may have been a mistake,
I might have given you the wrong battery 'accidentally'."
So shouldn't he be treating the whole incident as an accident?
Instead of clearly showing it on his face?
I think the only thing I've got to say is...
He's only recently started working there.
Or maybe I'm the only customer he's had that didn't fall into his trap.

Everyone's Sick.

My parents and I are sick.
Which leaves my sis.
Let's hope she doesn't catch our germs, too.
My pa went to see Dr. Ah Yap on Sunday.
And the three of us ate those medicine.
He went to see Dr. Ah Yap again today.
So we're eating his medicines again.
Haha.
My ma is the most affected.
She couldn't cook,
so I made myself lunch.
An egg with leftover rice and a piece of leftover chicken.
I thought I fried the egg pretty well.
One of my biggest acomplishments. (:

I'm Sick, Naturally

I'm sick.
Naturally.
I saw it coming, being the Chinese New Year, and all.
Having flu, cough, and sore throat.
I predicted the sore throat, too.
Having eaten the whole bag of hot and spicy snacks.
Everyone's getting sick..
My pa, bf, and now me.
Ugh.
I can't think properly.
I can't continue typing.

I Love Me Phone!

Got my N70 back.
I don't think I love the 6288 as much as my N70.
And it saves me the money to get a new mini SD card.
Went to sleep at around 11.30PM last night but couldn't fall asleep,
cos I had this nagging feeling in my heart that I wanted my phone back.
So I woke my pa up and exchanged phones again.
Haha.

Need A Bigger SD Card For Phone

I seriously need a bigger memory card for the new phone.
My 512MB memory card is in the father's N70,
which is going to waste since he doesn't take pictures.
I checked the phone's gallery just to be sure and found a video of him and his friends
at a food court.
The bad news is the N70's memory card slot is only able to put in reduce sized memory cards.
This 6288's memory card slot is for mini SD cards.
The phone came with a 128MB card.
That's like,
very little.
I can't even put in all my Eason Chen songs. -.-"
Am going to Sim Lim Square to get one.
Cheap cheap!

New Phone For ME

Exchanged my N70 with my pa for his new Nokia 6288.
Don't think the camera is as good as N70, a little too bright.
But I love the graphics.
But whatever.

New Phone For Pa

Went with pa to buy handphone for him just now.
As expected, the salesman whipped out all sorts of stuff to persuade us to buy.
Thinking that the promotion package of one Nokia battery, handphone pouch, desktop charger, screen protector and crystal
case, all for $68, was worth it,
we decided to include that package as well.
They told us it's the New Year so they can't get stocks ,
that's why I've got to go back on Monday to get the crystal case and desktop charger.
But after closer inspection,
I realized that the battery he gave me was a compatible one,
instead of the original one that he said he was going to include.
So I called up the shop.
He told me there may have been a mistake.
That he "accidentally" gave me the wrong one.
"Purposely", more like.
I told him I'll be going back on Monday to get it, along with the crystal case and desktop charger.
With my sharp eyes,
I saved myself.

So the thing is...
When buying handphones from shops who aren't the authorised dealers,
i.e. those shops which deal with 2 or 3 handphone operators,
keep your eyes opened.
Only those which bear the sign, 'Singtel' or 'Starhub',
or those M1 Shops and Singtel Hello! stores are trustworthy.

My ma just received a phone call from my cousin.
My cousin asked if my ma is willing to be the child's nanny for a monthly $500.
Of cos my ma took the job.
I'm happy, too.
With the extra income and a baby in the house!
We're already planning where to put the cot!
:D

Sights and Sounds

Went to watch Just Follow Law with bf yesterday.
It was good!
A typical made-in-Singapore movie,
but much better than I Not Stupid all that.
Story plot is dull but roles played were good,
especially Fann Wong.
Quite a bit of tear-jerker at the end.
When Gurmit Singh and Fann Wong realise how important is family.
Then went with bf to the place near Esplanade where they put up decorations and stuf during CNY for people to see.
There was nothing much, really.
Every year is the same.
Took some photos.
Then we went to Lau Pa Sat for dinner.
Then we walked back to the bridge near Esplanade to sit.
Took some photos.
Whees. :D

My Old Workplace, My Favourite Workplace: TakPo

Last night my ex-colleage Xiao Hong called to ask how I was.
I was glad to hear from him but felt guilty cos after resigning,
I haven't took time to pay them a visit.
So I've decided to go Chinatown to see them this weekend.
And buy some cake to treat them and at the same time see if there were any more angbaos around.
Xiao Hong asked me,
"Wei she me mei lai kan wo men ah?
Ou er chuan yi ge jian xun lai jiu xing le ma?
Jin nian mei lai gen wo na hong bao ah?"
Then I told him,
"OK, wo ming tian jiu qu!"
He said,
"BU YAO BU YAO!
Ha ha, mei you la..."
I remember receiving a $2 ang bao from him last year.
I miss the people there.
I miss the fun and laughter.
They seem to be able to make eveything into a big joke.
And we'll just laugh laugh laugh.
Work was especially fun with Xiao Hong around..
He was my fake-high-five buddy.
We'd run towards each other in slow motion and slap each other high fives and pretend to miss.
Then feign shock.
Xiao Kang used to laugh at us from behind the congee counter,
when he was new.
Xiao Hong is full of crap.
That time when I was still working there,
his wife gave birth to a son.
Coincidentally, his surname is Luo.
So he named his son Luo Zhi Xiang.
I remember he showed me a photocopied copy of the birth cert.
I read the name and started laughing.
There were lots of good times during the 6 or 7 months working there.
I would continue working there if there wasn't so much work.
I'm lazy, yeah.
But the workload is heavy.
I miss them.
But I'll be there to see them this weekend.

Rob back in rehab... ='(

"Williams enters rehab on birthday

Williams has enjoyed a hugely successful solo career to date

Pop singer Robbie Williams has been admitted into a rehab clinic in the US on his 33rd birthday, to be treated for a dependency on prescription drugs.

It is not the first time the British star has entered rehab, having become addicted to drugs and alcohol after he left Take That in 1995.

He said later that his condition was so bad that Sir Elton John "kidnapped" him and made him seek treatment.

In September, his Asian tour was called off because of stress and exhaustion.

The Los Angeles-based performer was to have visited Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai (Bombay) and Bangalore in November.

A spokesman said at the time that to have performed in those cities after honouring European and South American commitments would have been "asking too much".

'Personal issues'

Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke - based in Williams' home town - his mother, Jan, said it was a "gift" for her that he was seeking treatment.

"He's a very public figure and all the media attention at the moment is added pressure on him," she said.

I shall be sending him loads and loads of love as always - I have always given him a lot of loving support Jan Williams, Robbie's mother

Mrs Williams plans to fly out to the US after her son has finished his spell in rehab.

"I shall be going across at some stage but when you're in rehab, it's a programme for the person themselves, and they have to address their own personal issues," she added.

Last year, the singer spoke frankly of his experience with depression in a BBC documentary on bipolar disorder with Stephen Fry.

In the interview, he admitted taking antidepressants and that his depression had made him "stop going out".

"I'd get up in front of 40,000 people and say 'look at me, I'm ace'", he said.

"Then as soon as I got off stage, I'd get in the tour coach and go back to my bedroom and pull the duvet over my eyes."

In another TV interview, broadcast in 2004, Williams said he only gave up drugs and alcohol because they made him too fat.

He said his addiction made him "blow up to the size of a small aircraft hangar".

Williams' former Take That bandmates are currently enjoying a hugely successful comeback, including a number one single and album, and a sell-out UK tour.

Their song Patience is expected to win best single at the Brit Awards ceremony, which takes place in London on Wednesday.

But this is the first time in several years that Williams has failed to be in the running for the best male or best album categories. "

In case you don't know, I'm a huge fan of Robbie Williams.
I've read 5 or 6 of his autobiographies and it's really sad to know his story and how he fought his inner battle with drugs and alcohol to see him bounce back again.
But life for him isn't easy.
I hope he gets well soon.

Anyway, a less depressing news here.
It's me and my baby's first anniversary today.
I love you, baby. (:

Something New, Something Great!

Check out that www.flickr.com photo badge at the bottom right hand corner of my page.
Cool! Ain't it?

GONG XI FA CAI!

It's Chinese New Year Eve today.
We did some cleaning up and stuff.
My ma brought the dog to our house.
She refused to pose for the camera.
We had our tuan yuan fan, roasted duck and steamboat with lots of abalone.
I ate two pieces straight out of the can and it tasted disgusting.
GONG XI FA CAI!

Bugger

I went to school this morning just to find out that there's no lesson today.
Fuck.

My ma bought this pot of flowers at $4.
I say, I've never seen anyone else bargain the way she does.
It's pretty nice too.

Yesterday I got a huge shock.
It's always when I don't expect anything and don't anticipate,
that I get a surprise.
I was walking towards our meeting place but couldn't see him anywhere,
and when I spotted him,
he was holding a little bouquet!
Although there're only 3 roses and little flowers and stuff,
I loved it.
It's the sincerity and thought that counts.
He used his lunchtime to go out and buy the flowers,
and only had lunch at 3 plus.
And he drew me a card which I think is far nicer than what I drew him.
It even has a photo of him looking pretty in it.
I took the flowers happily,
and when we walked past a woman holding a huge bouquet,
I didn't envy her at all!
I think maybe an aunite envied me,
or was it me looking weird and standing at a weird location?
I was waiting outside the toilet for him to finish pooping,
holding flowers with one hand and pressing my handphone frantically with my other hand,
trying to not look out of place,
which I did.
This morning I checked the flowers,
they haven't dried up yet!
Am so happy. (:

Just watched Borat.
It's fucking crap.

Am staying home today.
No lessons for today and tomorrow.
And it's Valentine's Day today!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
I love you, you love me, I love him, she loves me, he loves her, she loves her, we love you, you love us, GOD LOVES ME!
Not anticipating any surprises today.
I already prepared myself for that.

I drew the bf a card in less then 2 hours.
We're going through this craze of drawing cards for each other, no matter the occasion.

It's gonna be Chinese New Year soon.
I've got a one week break next week.
So am going to use that time to complete the PS2 game,
in case I don't ever get around to finishing it...
Don't think I'm going for the bai nian thing at all...
Just going to stay home.
What for?
After the flood and the damage it caused,
it doesn't feel like CNY at all.
This is the saddest CNY ever.
Going to see my not-very-close relatives would be just plain weird.
Don't think I'll even recognise them if I happen to see them in the streets.
That's how bad it is.
I don't know them at all.
My parents aren't close with them, too.

I actually hate CNY.
I don't get a lot of angbaos.
I hate CNY songs.
I'm like the Grinch.
He hates Christmas whereas I hate CNY.
But at the end he ends up loving Christmas.
But I don't see myself ever loving CNY.
I only like the bright decorations at home.
But one of them fell down.
My ma stuck it up again.
It fell down again.
Now it's lying somewhere, forgotten.

I love Eason Chen.
Bu Zhi Bu Jian made me cry.
I was thinking of some things at that time.

Yesterday was at Esplanade library with boyfriend.
Cuddling together and watching animation was nice.
Nice...
Hehe.
Then we saw Sam Leong outside the Esplanade near the bus stop.
Then he popped into a cab.
From what we gathered,
he had called a taxi and was waiting for the taxi.
He was looking nice.
Nice...
Hehe.
I have a thing for chefs. =/

Bf drew this birthday card for me.
Although it's a bit late and not fantastic,
nevertheless I still love it. (:

I love the Esplanade Library.
And I love my boyfriend. (:

New skin here.
I swore not to change skins no more but I just could not help it.
Am feeling bored.
BF's gone to a wedding dinner.
Let's see.
Feb 14 is around the corner!
It's great, huh?
Love..
I don't remember what I was doing last year on 14 Feb.
Probably snoring away while everyone went on dates.

My eye's better now.
Although still a little itchy.
I skipped school for two days because of this.

It's my baby's 30th birthday today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY! (:

Today I had a fucking sore eyelid.
It wasn't the eye that was painful or sore, so eyemo or whatever wasn't going to help.
Felt as if the eyelid was going to clamp shut anytime.
And it didn't help matters with my sleepiness and with my class ending at 4pm.
So I had some fun with my N70.
I'm normally not very vain but I just took some crap photos anyway.
It's the bf's 30th birthday this Thursday.
I'm drawing a birthday card for him.
Much better than popping down to Popular or Hallmark to buy a birthday card.
It's turn out quite well, I think.
My sis drew one for him too.
When my sis bothers to do something like this for someone,
it means that the person is worthy enough for her time.
It means quite a lot.
She didn't even draw one for me lah.
Bugger.
