2:35 am	Various I have not decided upon what this entry will be build on. I just felt like typing in my livejournal for some unexplainable reason. Just got back from Europe 2 days ago. Somehow felt like i wasn't really travelling. I guessed it's cause I got so accustomed and comfy to the lifestyle there that was like assimilated into the locality of it all. Anyhow, I'm thinking of flying off to HK aug-sep coz Eddy will be there which spells free accomodation. Not that I really wanna go HK, not much to do there anyway. Sure there's shopping, but I've since switched from those fashion for a good long time. If I do go, it's just I wanna get out of Singapore. As simply as that. And of course, it's one of the cheapest options I've got at the moment. I think the travel bug has hit me big time. I didn't miss home one tiny weeny bit during the course of stay in Europe. I didn't even miss the local food which I usually helplessly would. Not a bit. Jesus. I can't help but feel I'm becoming an obsessive shopper. As if all that shopping wasn't enough in Europe, I went shopping today again. I wish I can go shopping in States, so much cheaper there. Real Sales. Melvin, Sarah and I were discussing over lunch today that we should head west of States next year for major shopping spree. Sounds really good to me, especially since Mel knows exactly where we can get all the good bargains and he can be our driver. Haha. I wonder if anything has changed. I feel it has but then again like the last time, nothing has indeed changed the moment we met. It's always my psychological fears and paranoia at work I guess. But where is my enthusiasm? Bumped into H in town today. Hah, she didn't look fantastic. Okay, I know I'm bitchy but part of me was really jealous of her in high school. Now that she looks a little lesser than average, I can't help but feel abit thrilled. Bitchy bitchy. And of coz it pleases me even more as I saw her checking out my long legs and nice short shorts. Women. Tsk tsk. Sorry for this chunky and semi-comprehensible entry. I mean if anyone is even reading it. Current Mood: bitchy (Comment on this)

1:51 pm	What do you learn about life sometimes? That you cannot always expect the best. That it is never suppose to be fair. So when it's bad to you, you should try to grasp something about the situation, reflect, take it in your own stride and move on. What you put in may not give you the returns you expected, sometimes, nothing at all. Or worst, negative returns. Some people are placed in your life to make you sad and hurt. Don't blame them because they are there just so you can realize how good others have been to you. Yes, it makes you sad because you start to have regrets for not valuing those good people but it is better late than never to show some appreciation, even if it's not in action, at least in heart. Some people come, some people go. This is all part of life. Even if things seem really bad, fulfill at least your part and do it well. If it eventually does not work out, it is just tough luck. I'm going to fulfill my responsibilities for another 2 days. Come what may next. Current Mood: sad (Comment on this)

11:31 am	the point being.......? can't really describe the saturday i'm living right now. it almost seems as if life is a standstill. i'm devoid of any emotions at the moment. my mind is a blank. no, it isn't a case where i'm down or depressed or troubled. it's just blank like that. i'm not even thinking of "what-ifs" nor fantasizing about the future right now. no desires, no yearnings, no hopes. what sort of disease is this? Maybe...when your mind gets overwrought from a period of excessive thinking, it happens? shit happens. Or.....i don't know and i'm not going to make any effort to know. thus far, this has been my saturday, 11 dec 2004.

9:47 pm	meaningfulness of simplicity sometimes, it's the simplest things in life that makes you wanna jump for joy. just like how "a presto" typewritten twice instantaneously lifted my spirit. i like the words "a presto", even how it sounds. ....a presto...a presto...the depth of my heart which those two simple words have reached is simply indescribable. italiano is indeed beautiful.

1:28 am	MSN NICK::Shyn::me gustan canciónes de italiano tambien I never thought italiano songs can sound so beautiful. and tonight i was introduced to an especial heart-wrenching one..... Andrea Bocelli - Nel Cuore Lei Se Conosci gia l' amore Che vuole lei Tu saprai che dovrai Dare tutto quel che hai A lei Ti legherai finche vivrai, a lei... Ti prendera il cuore Ti vincera Lei sara la tua strada Che non puoi lasciare mai A lei Ti legherai finche vivrai, a lei... E non c' e niente come lei E non c' e niente da capire E tutta li La sua grandezza In quella leggerezza Che solo lei ti da Sara cosi e poi Sara di piu L' amerai...l' amerai Perche tu ci crederai A lei Ti legherai finche vivrai, a lei... E non c' e niente come lei E non c' e niente da capire Lei e cosi Puoi solo dire Che piu ti fa soffrire Piu ancora l amerai Finche tu vorrai scoprire Dentro un brivido che da Il segreto della sua eternita A lei Regalerai Quello che restera Del tuo tempo che verra A lei Ti legherai, per sempre avrai Nel cuore lei... -------------------------------------- If You already know The love she wants You'll know You have to give everything, all of it To her You'll become as one with her, forever... She'll touch your heart She'll win your heart She'll be your path That leads to what you lacked, the path To her You'll become as one with her, forever And nothing can compare with her There's really nothing to understand It's just the secret of Her greatness The sheer joy That she alone can give And that's how, now, it will always be Until it becomes even more You'll love her, oh how you'll love her Because you trust yourself to her To her You'll become as one, with her, forever And nothing can compare with her There's really nothing to understand That's just the way she is All you'll know for sure Is the more she makes you suffer The more you find you love her Until at last that dawning That in the thrill she alone can give Lies the secret of her eternity To her You'll gladly give All that's left Of the time you've still to come To her You're as one, with her, forever And she'll be there, in your heart Current Mood: melancholy Current Music: otros canciónes de italiano (Comment on this)

12:10 am	Vintage Madness today, i had yet another stranger come up to me and ask where and how much i bought my swatch. seriously, i can't remember coz it was so long back plus what i had on was a re-matched face and strap piece. told her i cant answer her questions and she insisted that it must a special collection, not bought in singapore and blah blah...and went on with her theory until she finally walked off. i mean hey, this swatch is really old, can't you see the fraying string? sigh. some people just don't listen. anyway, this incident reminded me of a pair of old white nike sneakers which i bought 4 years ago for 29.90SGD i think. i kinda threw it aside after wearing for awhile and left it to turn yellow. and decided that i had to wear it again this year for a performance. guess what? friends who saw it was like "oooo...so cool. where did you get that? must be expensive, look very vintage"...and blah blah. this is really shocking because if it looked stylishly vintage, it's really becoz it had been abandoned to collect stains and dust. not like i intentionally did anything to it. hence, i decided that if i need cash now, there's definitely an avenue. sell my old stuff. stuff that's turning yellow, stains, fraying...whatever. and people actually think it's prized possession.

12:17 am	PWC vs DT Right now, i'm in a super dilemma. In 9 hours' time, i'm gonna wake up, make a single decision and not think back. I will then either sign/not sign, send/not send the offer letter. Whatever it is, i shall just stick to my decision and not dwell on it anymore. This has been dragging on long enough, while i look forward to a career with PWC, uncertainties in a new firm deter me. This is further made worse by the enjoyable experience i had with DT. PWC has the prestige, the brand equity, structured learning process, the portfolio. DT has the culture, the people, the interesting companies i would like to audit, the informidable IT system. Which should i choose hence? Current Mood: contemplative (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:57 pm	Operation Slut it was such a relief that: (1) my mum didn't disown me (2) the school didn't sack me (3) the evening tabloid (wan bao) didn't post our slutty pictures (4) pearlyn didn't get shot all in one night, we managed to turn into ultimate sluts. crazily dancing and enjoying ourselves amidst the leaders. but surely, we cannot refuse the important people's requests to dance with them on stage, can we? i mean, look, even HL went up to the podium, all in the good, clean name of fun and party. but we are so glad that the news didn't print our slutty faces, although the evening channel news did show us playing drums. phew! otherwise, what would my mum think? "my daughter's such a disgrace!" what would the public think? "so fat and ugly and slutty. no shame!" what would the school think? "is this the image we wanted you to portray?" and that pearlyn, in her excitement to take picture with HL, she nearly tripped over and hit HL. imagine if planted snipers think she's some assasinator...think she'll be shot flat down. haha...anyway, this event's definitely an eye-opener. oh yes...and that cute bodyguard too .... ;p Current Mood: amused (Comment on this)

4:38 pm	Music phew! finally done with the performance at esplanade concert hall. amazing that i'm actually so patriotic to perform on national day. oh well....but it's definitely great fun. esp when we start to do all our slutty poses. haha. also another plus point is to get to know joe, maybe can hire him to teach pro congas playing next time. nowadays i feel like i'm a full time performer. endless performances, rehearsals, practices. first it was ron frank's farewell concert, then esplanade, this sat will be convocation, 21st aug will be at marina sailing club, 22nd (sep/oct?) will be sgx corporate event and UN gathering. and many more invites are flowing in. can really be draining sometimes, hope i can cope when school starts. Check out some of the slutty photos ;p School School starts in 4 days and I have only managed to bid for 2 modules. Strategy and Spanish. Dammit! Curse all those juniors who dump their edollars. Adeline called me the other day and so I voiced out my displeasure. She assured me that it's likely they'll add vacancies to the classes. they better! Career Have voiced my acceptance to DT's offer. Think i'll probably go back there. afterall, it's not as if i didn't entirely enjoyed my times there. think i should be able to survive my self-imposed 3 years trial. after that, then maybe i'll consider other options which are more aligned to my passion.

1:08 pm	to ying jie, my dear friend...... be sure you'll be dearly missed because you've always been there for all your friends. we'll remember the joys and laughters you've brought to us, even on days of dark clouds and looming gloominess. ----- there, upon the fields you lay, a fateful day. drained of your last breathe. Us, frantic hearts watched in dread, our dear friend taken away from us. ----- i'll always remember the moments we spent in Deloitte. those times we all shared. happiness, sadness, tiredness, complains, bitching, jokes. it'll always stay in my heart. our lunch adventures, wishing upon the well at far east square, savoring hot curry, going for statutory audits, calling names, mockery. all these will be safekept, they cannot escape. i know all the cats which you loved and pictured will too feel the pain. they too will cry in unison for the loss of a brilliant young lad. Ying jie, my dear friend, rest in peace. you've led a beautiful life and you've made us all feel beautiful with you. take care...... Current Mood: sad (Comment on this)

11:50 pm	blue lobster what's blue lobster popular for? fish & chips right? oki, here's my account.... wanted to dine at the newly set up blue lobster at suntec basement. sat down and an aminah waitress was taking our order... aminah: would you like to try our dinner set? me: what do you have for the set? aminah: it's written over there (pointing to the chalkboard at the front counter) me: (so u expect me to walk over??!) so what do you have? fish? aminah: (blush, i dunno??) eh, let me check....(walks off to the board) (walking back to our table) aminah: we have pea soup, fillet...brownie...blah blah me: so how much is it? aminah: $7.95 upon hearing it was so damn cheap, we ordered 2 sets. out of chance, we later confirmed with the manager that the set was $19.95, so apparently our dearest aminah make a blunder. FLOP 01 imagine the big fuss if i was billed $19.95 x 2. anyway, we cancelled the dinner set orders in time and requested for re-order. a chinese waitress came to us this time round. me: seafood basket n fries for me fren: soft shell crab n fries chinese waitress: okay, that'll be calamari and seafood basket.... FLOP 02 fren and i came to the conclusion that over-exposure to seafood would make people forgetful. 10 minutes later...... aminah: excuse me, your order was with fries right? me: yes, with fries. aminah: sorry, we've run out of fries. it's on it's way. but we have rice, salad... me: (with disbelief) okay....so how long will it take the fries to arrive? aminah: i dunno. FLOP 03 sighz. what went wrong? was it just the aminah, or the chinese waitress, or the restaurant? it was just too ridiculous to hear that a 98% empty fish & chips restaurant has ran out of fries. anyway, if you must know, we left without taking the third order. i din need excessive amusement in a single evening.

2:47 pm	i tink 6838 will be the winning number tonight. haha. if that really turns out true, i'm quitting school and going full time gambling. anyway, i've been boasting to my whole family about my windfall last night. damn amazing. borrowed this china travel guide and was browsing it at mr bean's with ning when i discovered a 10 renminbi in it. decided not to take it at first, i slotted it back. but when i flipped back to the pages, i discovered an 1 yuan. stunned that my 10 yuan has magically divided itself by 10 denominations, i frantically flipped through the other pages. and gosh i just couldnt believe when i found a 100 yuan. my eyes must have popped out then. and another flip, a 20 yuan, flip, 5 yuan. it went on until i colllected a grand total of 139 yuan (approx 20 plus in SGD) what a windfall! that was not the end. just as a waitress was settling the bill for the table behind us. a mastercard came flying my way and landed next to my right foot. money was definitely heading towards my direction last night. we had a good laugh about my streak. amused at my luck, i fantasized aloud to ning about a briefcase full of USD crashing into me as i step out of the cafe. of coz that din happen. oh well ;p i think it's a good omen. this 139 yuan is gonna be our seed fund for our china trip, pretty encouraging and definitely a motivation for us to go ahead. hopefully all will go well so we'll be on our way to discovering china soon........yay~ Current Mood: happy (1 Comment |Comment on this)
