Told J tt I going to catch tennis, but in the end I din wake up at 4am. Not even sure if it is going to be shown. He bowed out 7-5, 7-5, 6-1! Such a close set 1 and 2, but I guessed he lost steam in set 3. Had this bad feeling that he won't make it and I din check results until mins ago. My intution is so right*Sigh* Probably will catch the replay. Sigh, his performance had been disappointing ever since my subscription to the Sports Channels. Very disappointed!!!!!!!!

Bugger, keep asking me qns - and I'd not been having good memory on things (lazy to remember) got to dig my "history books". *haiz*

Umm, I was having a problem discussion with KL and he say he going on half day later (which means I have to finish whatever I need to ask). So I said, "You are going on pre-teacher Day holiday!!!" Then he said, Yea - Msia holiday. I was "uhm". Then he say "Diana Holiday". I was "Ohh - dead oredi". That sets my thoughts, today is the 7th anniversary of Lady Di(if I'm not wrong?)
Don't get it wrong. My name did not come about because of her. I'd asked my mom about it. My name was given before her existance being made known. Though mom jokingly said, "yaa.. I know she's going to marry prince charles and become famous so I name you after her ". But she married him in 1981, isn't it? (I was already kicking around by then) Tsktsk, And I don't like people calling me Di or Diane. But nevermind, I can't change people way of calling.

Well..it's lunch time.....outz~

I thought I posted something before I finished work. And I titled it "今天很阴". Where had it gone to?

不相信也不行 - 人的心情就会影响工作量; 忙就很忙,闲就特别闲.很想去唱歌,可是偏偏约好了,就有古怪的事情阻碍. 本来很好的心情和感情,给不相干的人-事-物-破坏. 很难过 - 真的很想把事情做好, 但是事事难了. *-nag-* Pal, 真的好久不见!!!

But the feeling of 怒 disappeared once I got home. I played with BB - he was giggling when I said the word "nice". I din noticed it - until I repeat the word. BB laughed and laughed. Mmm...maybe the word meant something funny in his world.

Progress well with The Heavenly Dragon - disc 14! Haa...cos I'd watched certain episodes, so can skipped those. And finally know how the toad gets into 段誉. *tsktsk*

20mins more - I'm not going to miss my show today!

多谢司嫔妮! 我听了陳晓东的原唱版本. 很肯定我比较喜欢伟联唱的-比较有感觉- 听了会不知不觉流泪.

有人问我会觉得谁会赢. 我不知道. 本身自己看好女参赛者,但是要看人气和当天的表现吧. 也要看以后的成绩! 哈哈, 林俊杰将会是特别来宾! 真好!!! J 不要吃粗啦 - 你是最帅的呀!!!

吖呀!! 我忘了看天国的阶梯!!! 10分钟....

你让我发现天的蓝 蓝的让人好心安
生命的颜色于是开始不平凡

你让我看见海的宽 宽的够容下梦想
生命的样子变得好简单

孤单的夜里我不孤单 爱过的人显得坚强
哭著或笑著入睡都一样
最美丽的脸庞是明早的太阳

孤单的夜里我不孤单 爱过就没有遗憾
笑著或哭著醒来都无妨
有个人住在我的心上
久久长长
我身上有你给的翅膀
在云间水上自由飞翔
灵魂像天一样蓝 像海一样宽
不怕孤单

I heard this song sung not by the original singer. His version indeed is very touching. Probably I need to find the mp3 and hear the original version. Here's my 1st attempt of translation in english *haa* - that's the best I can translate for now:

You let me discover how blue the sky is, the blue that makes one feel at peace.
The colors of life begin to become colorful

You let me seen how wide the sea is, wide enough to fill ones dreams
The faces of life change to much simpler

Lonely night but I'm not lonely
The one that had love truly are much stronger
The one that had cried or laugh still sleeps
The most beautiful face will be tomorrow morning sunshine

Lonely night but I'm not lonely
The one that had love are with no regrets
It does not matter to wake up in tears or joy
As there’s someone who lives in my heart
Forever and ever
I had wings that you gave
Flying freely Amidst in the clouds above the water
My soul is just like the clarity of the sky, just like the openess of the sea
Not afraid of loneliness

Tomorrow is the start of a competitive US OPEN. Will Roger continue his winning streak?! (Hope not!) Or Roddick doing some catching up or Nadal the sensation kid? But most important to me is, will JCF repeat his run of 2003 into the finals? I certainly hope so. But I doubt I can catch any live matches...

Layout and background is under going changes - thanks to Phunk, but not this pic la..you got it wrong!!! *throw slipper* kee..kee...kee

I'm supposed to start watching 天龙八部 vcds. HK passed me part 2 but I haven't even started part 1. MEL wants to see the last ep but waiting for me to finished first. Eh... I commented, that could take quite some time since I'd part 1 with me for 2 mths ^_^ .......Ahhh...

Did some work this afternoon - I was supposed to do it on Fri and I totally forgotten about it!!! And I must re-org my mail folders - I should hv time to do since Boss is out of town.

Felt happy when I picked up a post card that caught my eye. Hee was thinking how many should I take, and I picked up 4!!! J was all smile when I showed it to him and 1 is for him. The rest are mine!!! Now where should I put it...office..home....1 more....mmmmmmmmmmm...toilet?! :D

Today is the last day the Thai IT staff is in town. He took some nice photos for us. Although I'd difficulties in understanding his english, he always smile. But what touches me is his sincerity and showing of appreciation; He bought biscuits for everyone, and thank everyone. He also thanked me for helping out with his accomodation (which I have to do) and wished me to be in great health and happy forever on a personal note. Cos he accidentally stepped into my cubicle while I was sneezing and feeling down today. I appreciate his well wishes. Maybe we'll meet again in the Big Busy Bangkok.

Singapore is so small. I usually don't meet people that I may had already met. But then, I've to trust that gut feeling that tells you that probably U'd met b4. YF - my colleague for 2 months, and probably some1 who I'll work closely if I'm tsfer there. She's my senior of the same course. Her batch was so small but yet I get to know her now. In fact we could have known each other earlier since she worked previously in my ex-co's client. After talking to boss today, boss seems eagar to move me to an area I'm more interested in. Thou' I'd minimal exp, I explained to her once the momentum is up, the skill will kicks in naturally. And she was right that I'm more comfortable in the Window-based development rather than Unix. And she will tried to talk to the hiring mgr to see how I can fit in. And she believe in taking the risk and giving chances. She mentioned a proven case where they moved someone with not much exp to his current role. Thou I'm not under performing but boss probably want to keep her headcounts plus having a WIN-WiN situation and I appreciate that. Lately, I'm not happy with my performance. Set some targets but after 3 weeks I couldn't complete 10%. Why?
1. clear some sh!t admin work (suddenly every1 is travelling in&out & we just chg travel agent), I hv to call multiple times just for one traveller +
2. thanks to ignorant site, I have to perform magic to 6 mth pending datas uploaded and they are still not responding +
3. staring blankly dunno what the heck I'm doing and what should I do next +
4. some new things at work are poppin up and I don't seems to be informed +
..............the list goes on..........

MIN triggered the button today. My brain works so slow that I don't understand her codes 0929. But eventually I understood, so we met up for dinner. I'd fishes for 2 meals - that's all I should eat for now. Don't ask me which taste better, cos I'm not too sure. Rena was farnie when she can't recognise her bb pic on HK's phone!!! Then it's about time for Rena to go and for us to meet MEL. Min nv 09 laa...she slurp her rose tea while I can only hv earl grey, the rest Heinkken. We din go to a good plc I felt as they seems to rush to close shop. No good. HK send us home again. Hee, so was talking to MEL and then my gut feeling went right again as I felt MEL looks familiar....guess what...we were from the same primary school...* haaaaaa* Mel and YF linked back to Min. Then I slowly traced back my thoughts, and I came to the conclusion it is fated for me to know Min & HK afterall. :D


Wow, this blog seems long...tsk, came home and decided to check on work mail. Yes, I'm not joking. at 3am - and guess what - mail box full!?! fwaaaaaa....clear clear clear

Hey, one colleague send this out. So pick a fruit!!!

Which fruit will you pick if you were handed these:
1. Orange
2. Apple
3. Banana
4. Coconut
5. Pineapple
6. Papaya
7. Mango
8. Cherry
9. Grapes
10. Peach
11. Custard Apple
12. Pear

ORANGE
If orange is your favourite fruit, it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly, but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy, but are reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care and you love with all your heart, and not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs.
APPLE
If apple is your favourite fruit, you are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken person, often with a bit of a temper. While you may not be the best organizer yourself, you make a good team leader and are good a taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner. You have an enthusiasm for life, unmatched by most.
BANANA
You are a softie! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temperedness, and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty! Because of the way you are, our relationship is always very much in harmony!
COCONUT
The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socializing, you are particular about the company you keep. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario, especially at work. You need a partner with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn't everything for you.
PINEAPPLE
You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in asking career changes, if that is what is to your advantage. You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. You rarely, if ever, make romantic overtures. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection.
PAPAYA
You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life, in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humour that along with your generous nature keeps you in most people's good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right placeat the right time. You enjoy meeting new people and seeing new sights whenever you can. Your sense of humour is what attracts members of the opposite sex to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!
MANGO
A mango lover is a personality to be reckoned with, quite often are a person who has quite fixed ideas, and influencing you is not an easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes, and times even like to control a situation. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!
CHERRY
If cherry is your favourite fruit, life isn't always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally, and find that you make small sums of $$$, instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are often involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner, but find that expressing your feelings is not very easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.
GRAPES
You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cool down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life, you enjoy everything you do, right from the way you dress, to your style and your day-to-day life. Your partner must share your zeal and zing for life to enjoy all you have to offer!
PEACH
Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life it all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you, that makes you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don't however like to display all that passion in public.
CUSTARD APPLE
You are a modest and conservative person who can be quite sensitive at times. You tend to be thoughtful and contemplative, and therefore are rarely rash in doing things. You are quite ambitious and are good at anything that requires much detailing or working with numbers. You are quick at finding fault with others. While looking for a partner, you value a person's intellect far above their looks or good old passion. You are quite shy and not very comfortable demonstrating affection.
PEAR
If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the enthusiasm you started it with. You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation and love to get into a good discussion!


So what did u choose? Does it really fit you? Guess my pick..haa. Prize will be the fruit! :D

According to phunk, we were in Sydney tt time of the year. But can't really rem much where we went on which day. I'm surprised phunk can rem. ( I thot I'm the one with better memory, but guess not) Coincidentally, I was talking to my colleague ydae, we were talking about England and the places we went before. If she never touch on that topic, I won't hv recall anything. Maybe because I went with my ex-colleague who I don't keep in contact, it become forgettable. Whereas the trip with phunk, we do talk abt the trip, and laughed over farnie things and arguments. At one point of time during the trip, I was pissed with him. Prob he did too. Facing each other 24x7, there sure sometime dun meet the eye. But over time, we just dun remember. But I'd learnt alot about him - his "friends", army buddies, family. haa. Thou we studied same poly, we never really know each other. He said that I sabo him to be class rep during 1st year. Well. I don't rem u know. :D mabbe becos of his phunk' appeal amongst the straight faces across the room. Thou we were in the same class every year, we only talk casually. He still keep in contact with the class and that is when I knew he went to study after army while I was working. Then I started to ask alot about his school. He was one of the PULL factor - sort of decided to go to tt uni becos he's already there; at least I can put my mind at ease rather than going to a total strange environment. I wondered was I the PUSH factor; If I'd not gone to the same uni, will he ever ever ever ever graduate? I do blame him for not telling me how hard/strict the course. It more demanding than I'd expected - but I do thank him for not telling too. Contridicting eh? Phunk may/may not know this. After my first sem, did I started treating phunk as a FRIEND. I don't label people I know of as FRIEND unnecessary. I'm strict as a person, and protective of myself. He knows that whenever I'd to trashed him about his setback with some people. At the end of our last sem, i called him "Ah Bang" (not everytime, i'm not mushy friend). Then he told me, cannot anyhow call. Cos some ppl may not know and will mistaken as "Hubby". I laughed over my head. Not that I mind or he mind - but by then, some people are jealous of our sound friendship and start talking behind our back. Spreading the unkind words that I'd least expected. There was nothing to clarify thou' some pple asked. We were pissed but it din't affect us. It make us see clearer the person face. (thou we already know what kind of person he/she was).
Well, there are certainly more things about phunk. But I've to end here cos my brain is blocked and I need a rest. haaaaaaa...

Best incident happened that make us laugh -
I was driving and reaching a junction, so I asked quickly - "Left, Right?"
Phunk reply "RIGHT!" I quickly turn right. Phunk look at me, say " it's LEFT".
I rolled eye, yelled, " I asked you LEFT OR RIGHT!!!" Phunk say "I tot u say Left, right? so I reply right"

Words to my friend: When can you stop smoking!! You too skinny!! *sigh*

Friend Value 4.5*/5 <- no 1 can score perfectly u know...ha... Fun Value 2/5 <- mate, u too lazy.. only zzzzzzz

Sigh, the effects coming in. running nose. fever. Decided to see the doctor tomorrow. (should have gone just now). But before I can go on MC, I have so much things to settle. Realised alot of things to cover for tomorrow. So just now, write email to my boss telling her I wouldn't be in but will still finished her slides. Ask YAP to help me take the stupid projector to the CFO. Tell travel agent that I will be out but will follow on on that ticket deadline. Then realised, all these are admin stuffZ! kaoz!!!!

Still have to work cos I brought back my laptop. But at least I feel at ease that I'd "jiao dai"... don't want to end up dragging others' work. Thumbs up for myself!!!

Outz.. take care from *the beaten soul*

I believe effort equal results. I don't like acting nothing happen if it really of my concern. Hidding in my own cubicle, I still have to breathe hard in the thin air. I don't want to probe; I don't want anything to hurt us. I don't care what other says, but what u says means everything.
In the end, I'm the victim. Not becos what other said, but what u said - "dull, sian, meaningless ". At the end, my heart bleed. At the end, is everything in vain? Am I not worthy?

I don't wanna break glass; I don't wanna lost my voice. *Sigh* Can feel it clogging up there. Even tried to drink 感冒茶! Becoming very listless; need to review data, another new set by Friday(actually means by tmr leh)! 1000x records. I can't review all so I start to distribute ..haa..BUT Yap not around - he'll "kill" me if i send him the list. Let me spent another 30mins before I decide to give to the various parties to review. Buay tahan le.

The more I tried to think, the more I'm not working "correctly"

Oh ya, I'd thought of what to do with this blog. I found a topic to write about but din really put into words. I will write about one friend every now and then. So look out for your name appearing soon! *HAaAAa*

OH Mr Riz, if u reading this, please help my request b4 u come back k..lazy bummer!! :D

《好久不见》(Long time no c!!!)

你的样子越来越美越来越可爱 走到哪里都会有人偷偷望着你
你的歌声越唱越美越唱越动人 唱到哪里都会有人偷偷流着泪

好久不见的你是否别来无恙 是否心里有时还在偷偷想着他
年复一年岁月无声改变了我们 得到什么失去什么又有谁知道

好久没到这个地方来唉咿 这里的人每个每个变了样
是否记得当初我为你们唱的歌 是否记得一路花儿为我们盛开

好久没到这个地方来唉咿 这里的人每个每个变了样
是否记得当初我们讨论的女孩 是否她已越来越美越来越可爱

I heard this new song last week. Decided to put it on here and dedicate to my friends 

Just as I'm hoping to get my WISH come true - I think it not going to happen!? I'd been wanting to go KTV since Nov last year. But no1 wants to go, no dates can be fixed between Pal and me. Finally, we are going tomorrow (supposed to be today but Pal last minute need to do smthg)! Guess what, I'm feeling my throat drowning right now. Can feel the itch-ness. Why? Becos I ate APPLE CHIPS yesterday. Leftover since Sunday, and my mouth itchy, finished that last bit. I'm not a chips person, that's why my throat is taking the effect of not drinking enuff water! Plus my wisdom tooth is growing AGAIN. *Grumble*

Now, going to get my butt out of this desk and get hot water, drink luohanguo. *sob*

Dreamt of someone that I'd not seen for 2 years; I was so happy and wanted to say "Hi'. But, there was this gal stopped me and told me not to disturb them as they are working? really strange cos I don't know this gal at all. Then the later part of the dream was so disturbing. I woke up thinking why I'd such a strange dream. Mmm.. what was I thinking before I slept? did it trigger a weird dream? Strange. Just as I was slowly awake, spinnee sms-ed tt her iBook was outta stock. Awee, then read her blog and I wasn't surprised with what happened. Blah, then tried out the quiz and guess what the result i'd gotten!?!?! HAaaaaaaaa.....Unbelievable ~ Kena thrown eggs le!!!!

You Are the Girl Next Door!

You're caring, warm, and the girl that nice guys want to marry.
Uncomplicated and simple, you've got an easy going attitude guys love.
But this doesn't mean you're dull - far from it!
You're a great conversationalist, and you're an expert at living the good life.

Hey! It's a Friday again. The week seems faster than last week (though there was a holiday then). Probably becos it had been a busy week with my brain squeezed till the very last drop. Before I left work for home, I dropped a msg to Min to ask me out if they going somewhere after her work. From the minute I reached home, I sat at the cosy chair for the next two hours watching TV. Since Min and HK worked till unknown hour, I thought why not I continue my happy tv hours. As I was ready to wash up, Min sms-ed "Riverwalk, Iguana NOW NOW NOW!!!". Almost fainted. Since I was the one who told them to contact me, I decided to drag myself outta the house. Washed up, quick dinner, dress up, train ride to Clark Quay - took me an hour... *haa* But wait - WHERE'S Riverwalk!?! How come the maps at the MRT station don't have leh!?!? Called Min to clarify - it's Riverside laa...*grr* So by the time I reached, they were seated abt 5mins before (wow, took them one hour to get the table *tsk*). Mel was there too as he just knocked off as well. And they had ordered a jug of Lemon Magarita~ When I stepped into Iguana - I quite like it. High wooden chairs, the lights were good. They served quite nice food too. I'd flourless chocolate cake - I was so thrilled !!! (recalled that I'd bake this cake with Cat). It was served warmed with ice-cream. .. mmmmm.. taste good!
Had a great time talking to them - a nice chatting session will relax the mood. Wondered will this be a weekly affair as this is the consecutively 2nd week session. Haa.....

Oh ya, while I was on the way to meet the ladies- I called Pal and told her the crystal bracelet string broken. I was having this thought this morning when I wore it since it had been quite some time I wear it. And it happened while I was packing to go home, my hand brush against something, and one of the crystal drop. *argh* Hope Pal can FIX it!!! Then talked to Shann - she's such a darling - asking me if I'd eaten as she's cooking "dinner" (thru Pal's translation, cos I couldn't catch what shann's kiddy talking). She could understand when I asked her if she knows who I am and who is she. She's growing up real fast. Ahhh...I'm so happy!!!

Happy 40th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:) Hope everyone is in the mood to have fun!!! (:

Was at Quayside yesterday and ramen dinner with X-colleagues...then went on to the Beach Bay pub enjoyed a bottle of red wine... it was quite a relaxing time we had sitting on the beachchairs....*thumbs-up*

After coming home, looking at my own blog, I realised a mistake. 5 years ago, I did catch the fireworks but was not at Marina Bay having steamboat dinner. I then remembered clearly, it was one of the most upsetted & worrying time of my life that I'd forgotten totally. For thousand and one reasons, we only spent that day together once. Realised J had grown much maturer this past one year. (Not that he had not been growing la!) But of late, he impressed me deeply...... Mmm...well.....mmm.......oh..ya....Fireworks meant alot to me - it seems to carry my secrets & prayers with it. Whenever I watched the dazzling sky, there's lot of emotions within me - Sad, happy, thrilled, hoping, Worry -u named it, I had it.

Anyways, have a happy weekend and holiday ahead!!! Next holis is in Nov.. darnz, don't think too much abt it!!!

6 more days to National Day!!!! The last time I waited patiently for the fireworks on National Day was 7 yrs ago (1998)!!! why why why!!!? Because.........

Hope to catch the fireworks this year =)
