Running away

2010-10-05T08:32:00.000-07:00

Auditing is a very fast-paced job.

It forced you to "grow up" in less than 3 years after you have graduated from work.

When I just joined, I was just a fresh graduate and had almost no experience in the corporate world. Well.. Three years passed and I am expected to manage not only my client, my juniors as well as my managers.

Is three years long enough for someone to grow and learn enough to undertake those tasks?

Maybe or maybe not.

I was very stress during a period of time, just trying to cope with the preparation of house as well as meeting the deadline of my engagements.

There were times which I just want to leave all the things behind and run. It was just too much for me.

Well... Ironically, considering that edwin had lesser work experience, he supported me in dealing with the above. "Taking a break is not a solution. You can't possibly keep taking breaks."

There are times when I felt that he is naggy. He kept asking me to change this and change that. I felt that he is being too harsh on me. Sometimes, I just shut off when he was nagging. Ha... This resulted in quarrels. He hated me doing that. But I just love to do that to him. =p

It has been a long time since I do a thorough self-reflection. Maybe it is time for me to do now.

Camera eye

2010-08-18T08:30:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wish that my eye is an automatic camera so that I can capture all the precious moments when I see them.

Travelling

2010-08-18T08:21:00.002-07:00

Travelling used to be my hobby. I still love travelling a lot. But I have given up that hobby.

I like to see what is it like in the other parts of the world. I once had a dream of visiting the 7 wonders of the world.

However, I married a guy who don't like travelling.

The idea of a short trip was rejected several times.

He feels that travelling will cost quite a sum which can be saved for other greater purpose.

My colleagues just came back from Japan. They spent about 3.5k for a 10 days trip.

When they told me that, I was calculating how much can I save from 3.5k. I guess this thought is originated from the pressure to save money for the family.

It was a waste that I have to give up my dream. Well... I must say that it was worthwhile giving up.

Haha... To compensate for that, my honeymoon destination must be somewhere expensive, romantic and unforgettable! =p

National Day Parade

2010-08-09T08:38:00.000-07:00

Edwin and I watched National Day Parade today.

A very weird feeling watching tv with him actually.

We seldom watch tv when I am at his house as his landlord don't like him to bring friends home. Therefore, usually I will hide inside his room and watch movies with him from his desktop.

Watching tv with him gives me a very relax feeling. It was a different feeling from watching movies from his desktop.

Ha.. Weird but true...

Busy Busy Busy

2010-08-09T08:26:00.000-07:00

I have been driving from West to East and back to West last few Sundays.

The first sunday that I started driving was to fetch Edwin from the airport. He is back! =).. Misses him even though it is only for a few days.

The next Sunday was to the electrical fair in Singapore Expo. Not really a wasted trip. We bought a Sony Bravia TV (Serial No. 40BX400) for $999 and get a free dunno what brand HD camcorder. We bought a Hitachi fridge at $799 over there too. A pretty big fridge for us actually. Should have brought the smaller size. Nevermind. What is purchased is purchased. Let's look forward to having it delivered to our house! =)

We drove to Tampines for baminton the week after that. After that, we went to liang court to change our Sony Bravia TV cos I felt that the specs was not very good for the current technology. People are already watching LED tv whereas the motion flow for our TV is only 50Hz, which is pretty slow for the TV on sale now. Therefore, we changed to a Philips TV the motion flow is 100 Hz. At the same time, the colour contrast is much higher too! 80,000:1 compared to Sony's 30,000:1. We topped up additional $300 and have to return the camcorder. Nvm la. I bet it will be difficult to sell the camcorder in ebay. =p..

Finally, we drove to Tampines again on the Sunday that just passed. It was for badminton again. After that, we went back to our house (sounds weird calling the place ur house.. =)), trying to tidy up the place.

In the end, my lazy husband decided to ask the contractor to clean up the house instead. That was despite all the cleaning equipment we have purchased. =(.

All in all, these few weekends were spent on buying stuff for our house.. Don't really have time to spend at home. But it was worth it.. =)

New hobby

2010-08-03T08:27:00.001-07:00

Watching cooking channel is my new hobby these few days.

Marriage has definitely placed a part in my latest hobby.

I like the thought that he looks forward to my cooking.

I personally prefer eating to cooking. I dread the preparation process. I don't mind chopping garlics but I don't like cutting fish or touching meat.

I am not very good in cooking actually. He is a much better cook than I am.

He is better in using all the different ingredients than I am. For me, all seems to be the same.

I guess in order for him to look forward to eating food that I cook, I need to brace myself for the challenge ahead.

ROM

2010-06-18T08:28:00.000-07:00

I was very excited on maybe 14th or 15th.. grinning from ear to ear in a silly manner at times.. I guess that was infectious. Ha.. I have even managed to influence a colleque to feel like getting married.

But anyway, the days past by very fast and very soon, 17th June arrived..

It has been a very hectic day...

We reached the place at 12noon. The make up and hairdo took 2 hours. Haa... When I was doing the make-up.. my husband to be kept popping by and smiling.. I guess he never saw me make over before.. p...

Finally, we proceed down to the Registry of Marriage which is located at the Minstry of Nation Development. Not a very romantic place thought. A pity that the old place is under renovation.

When we reached there, everything went as planned except for one. My father forgot to bring his ic and he went back to the car and take. Just a very small hiccup.

The whole solemnisation process was indeed very solemn. Everyone was very quiet and serious except for my cousins who were giggling behind through the whole process. Haha.. I guess they find it very amusing..=)

Went for a 2 hour photography.. Very tiring... Thick makeup and high heel shoes.. jialat... I cant imagine what will it be like during the photo shoot..

Time to get used to wearing high heels..

The whole thing end with a buffet dinner at orchard hotel.

and I went back home and he went back home.. so weird hor... but no matter what, we are married.. =)

17th June 2010

2010-06-01T09:19:00.001-07:00

In less than two weeks, I will be married!

In less than two weeks, my marital status will be married instead of single.

In less than two weeks, I will be getting the keys to my future home...

In less than two weeks, all the decisions have to be made with another person instead of by myself alone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep the above sentence in mind...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In less than two weeks, we will be married!

In less than two weeks, our marital status will be married instead of single.

In less than two weeks, we will be getting the keys to our future home...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
feels weird but sweet.... =)

Kolo Mee

2010-06-01T08:53:00.000-07:00

I am savouring the kolo mee that his roommate tabao and import back from Kuching now.

Whenever he or his roommate is going back to Kuching, they will tabao back several packets of Kolo mee. That will be their dinner for the next few nights.

Even if it is me, I don't think I will get sick of eating it continuously for the next few nights. =p.

I am not sure why. Kolo mee in Kuching taste very different from the one sold in Jia Xiang even though the founder of Jia Xiang is from Kuching!

Kolo mee is one of my must-eat whenever I went back to Kuching with him. =p. Actually I eat a lot when I am in Kuching. Their sarawak laska is very nice too. Very different from the Singapore one. Edwin like the kuay chap very much. He say it is very different from Singapore too. Oh ya! Their 'o jian' is not those thick thick de.. It is crispy crispy and thin thin de. Very nice lei! The most important thing is his po po's cooking is very nice!!!! nice dinner every night.. yummy! haha...

Okay. I shall stop here now... need to stop drooling over food... =S...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eh! If you all want to have a taste of Kuching kolo mee and sarawak laksa in Singapore. You can go over to a coffee shop in Jurong East. It is near the DBS bank in Jurong East (near the mrt station or old Jurong Entertainment Centre) and it is along the main road. =)... The food is nice...

Wedding Dinner

2010-05-17T09:24:00.000-07:00

A long time since I blogged. I guess it was because of the lack of time. Audit has taken up most of my time. I used to work almost 6 days a week for the past two years.

After having a boyfriend, I have lesser time for myself. Ha! I am definitely not blaming him for the lack of time.

It is tested and proven that having a relationship will definitely take up a lot of your time. I finally understand why parents prohibit their kids to go into a relationship when they are studying.

Conclusion: It is too distracting and time consuming! Ha. =p

Anyway, back to the topic for today.

I guess for the next few years, I will be meeting up with my cousins and relatives through wedding dinners.

The time has come for a series of wedding dinners again.

I attended at least one wedding dinner for the last two to three years. I guess more will come in the next few years.

During the wedding, little kids are running around. Those are my cousin's children.

I used to be like them. When I was young, I love wedding dinners. That was when I can play with my cousins. We used to form one table and the food was never finished (it is a kids-only table) and the table was empty most of the time (most of the time, we were running around).

Well... I guess that is what those little kids are feeling right now.

As for the 25-year old me, I sit beside my parents instead. At times, I will walk over to my cousins and relatives to catch up with them.

guess which one belongs to my era... =p

=)

just cousins...

。。。景物虽在，人事已非。。。

2009-12-07T08:20:00.000-08:00

This sentence is being quoted by vivi....

The December in 2007, I just joined KPMG for like 3 months plus?

D&D was held on 27th December 2007. After D&D, we went off for a drink. There were 5 of us. We went to Chjimes for a drink while zz can watch his favourite MU match at the same time.

A year later, the D&D was cancelled due to economy downturn.

One more year later, the D&D resume. It was held on 5th December 2009 this time round.

After the D&D, we still went for a drink at Chjimes. This time round, there were more people. There were 4 more people on top of those who went two years ago.

For some reasons, we took the same route to Chjimes for the both years. While walking, I told vivi. Do you remember we took the same route two years ago?

She replied: "Really? Don't really remember.."

and she said this sentence: "景物虽在，人事已非"

For those who don't understand, it means despite the secenary and the buildings being the same, the others all have changed.. Be it the person, the things...

The feelings we had two years ago is totally different from what we are feeling two years later.

How things have changed.

I am very sure two years ago, I havent think of the feelings that I have right now.

How has audit changed my life.

I think the only good thing about audit is it let me meet him.... and also my few other fellow peers...

Movies

2009-10-24T09:53:00.000-07:00

This blog was meant for a few weeks ago.....

-Time traveler's wife-
Watched time traveler's wife today after work with him

It is a very nice romance. It is about a guy who knows how to travel through time. He managed to travel back time to see his wife which she was young and also to travel to the future to see his future child. He is able to see how he died as well.

Shant reveal much about the movie in case u guys havent watched it yet. But it is a very nice movie.

Though might be a typical romance, but definitely worth watching.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-I love you beth cooper-
I have watched I love you beth cooper yesterday. I think it is not worth watching. Pretty dissappointing actually because afew mentioned it was quite a nice movie. Furthermore, GV gave it a 4 star. Wondering what is the review based on

Maybe if I were like 5 years younger, I might appreciate it. Cos it is like those teenage love story, getting quite lame at some point in time during the show.

It is directed by Chris Columbus. He is the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Frankly speaking, I am very disappointed with that movie as well. I was very excited about that show because that book was the best book out of the Harry Potter's story that I read. Well... When the movie was screened, it was totally different from the story book. What a letdown.

Okie.. Maybe I should condemn that director instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some movies though typical but nice. Movie like The Proposal.

It is really a typical romance. Even though typical, it is sweet and romantic.

Or maybe I am too old to appreciate teenage love story. Haha.. is that a sign? hmmm.... maybe...

Anyway, back to The Proposal. Like I mentioned, it is a typical romance. Typically, the female boss (Sandra Bullock) proposed a plan to her secretary (Ryan Reynolds). The plan is to get married so as to prevent her from getting repatriate to Canada, which will resulted in her lossing her job.

Therefore, she "proposed" to her secretary and they went on a short holiday in Sitka in Alaska, the hometown of his secretary. Many things happened and they gradually fall in love with each other.

Please watch the movie for more details.

Like I have said, it is a typical love story but worth worthing.

Relationship...

2009-09-12T10:33:00.000-07:00

Recently, another broken relationship happened around me again.

I don't really know the male and female lead. saw them and talked to them several times but not really very close.

They were together for about 2 to 3 years. From what I heard, it was the guy who initiated the break-up.

His reason was that he don't wish to restrict himself to one lady only and it is too early to restrict himself to one lady only. I think that is a very selfish thought. If that is the case, why be together in the first place? Is the lady not good enough for you? Hai..

In the past, I used to think that if you are able to be together for a long period, then most likely you will get married. I am wondering why is it not possible that you will be able to get married if you are able to be together for a long period. Am I be shallow to say that? Maybe..

Maybe a relationship is not about the number of months or years. It is the quality of time you spent with that person... Even though you spent years together and it was spent quarreling, then I don't think those were quality time spent.

Hai.. nvm la... none of my business anyway. Just wanna say out my thoughts... nitey nitey...

my 2 weeks leave ending in 1 more day...=(

A happy normal day

2009-08-23T05:33:00.000-07:00

today i went to work as usual....

when he msged me, i replied as usual....

he sent me a msg as follows...
18th August 2009 11:15
"at pk alr ahx? You wil be going back office later? If got then I leave my tie there you bring back for me… ok ok?"

I was in office clearing artivision stuff. I planned to go PK before lunch because freddie is there. Wanna clear things with him. He will be back in office after lunch. But I think when he is back, he wouldn't be free to entertain me already. He will be busy with his AEH stuff.

Back to the message, I didn't really think much when I saw that message. I was thinking it was just another way of bullying me. Ha.. For your info, he likes to bully me alot.

Met him and jj (my another colleaque) for lunch. Lunch was normal for us.

During lunch, he kept insisting me to put his two ties, which I placed in my locker, in his locker straight after lunch. Even though I just don't understand why, I still did what he told me to...

I opened up the locker

When I went to the locker.. I saw a gold paper bag inside.. Alot of thoughts went through my mind.. I kept thinking who was the one

When I went to the locker after lunch, I saw a gold paper bag in my locker. I was wondering what was that. Who put it inside. I took it out and saw that it is a citigem paper bag..

I don't dare to think alot. Afraid that I might b dissappointed.. I slowly opened the paper bag and saw what's inside... It was another package! Haha.. =p.. I opened up the packaging n saw a box.. Inside the box

I took out the paper bag and I saw Citigems on that paper bag and straight away, I know it was from him. My tears just flow down uncontrollably and it just won't stop. I was very very very touched.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have told him I wanted a necklace for my bday present. I just felt that it is very sweet to be wearing the necklace everyday. haha... okie.. I think that is very childish or stupid of me to think that way. But then I still think it is very sweet.. =)

We went to see a few jewellery stores. Citigems was one of them. It has a necklace which is very nice but very expensive. It is about 300 plus. So we concluded that it was too expensive and decided not to spend the money on that and to save the money to buy flat instead. I managed to convince myself and not think about that until that day..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

和他在一起之后，我才知道为何人会应为感动而流泪。。。

out of work = into life

2009-07-13T09:15:00.000-07:00

saw this nick from one of my seniors...

I think this is really true for auditors, is it?

or is it most of the jobs, this sentence will stand?

I think actually it is a choice ultimately.

Work = money = better standard of living

so you need to make a choice.

If you want a better standard of living, you work like hell.

If you think spending quality time with your family members, you work less and maybe a more normal standard of living.

I think my parents chose the former.

They slogged so as to provide a better living for their children. They only have two days of rest per year. Well... Because of that, they didnt get to spend time with their children. They always missed my Meet the parents session. It was always subsituted by my aunt.

I used to think that it is important to spend time with your children. I even had a dream to become housewife. To look after my children and spend time with them.

Now, I have started working. I think I am working like my parents. I seldom see them and seldom talk to them. Most of my time was spent working. Sometimes it was spent with him.

Sometimes I felt like changing jobs. But I wanted to provide more for my parents. So that they can lead a better life in future.

So am I stepping in their footsteps?

I think I can't reach a conclusion yet.

P.S. But I think auditors work doubly as hard as those of the same pay. mmm....Think the only good side is the pay rise is very fast...

down the bed

2009-07-13T08:27:00.000-07:00

I think being clumsy is just my nature.

I hit onto everything that's along my way. Even though sometimes that thing is way way far away from me.

It becomes more evident after I'm beside him.

I concluded that's because no matter what I hit onto, he will always notice it!

ha!

I think it is starting to bug him that I'm such a clumsy person... but what to do... you have to accept it, my boy..=p...

Sometimes I wonder why wasn't it evident before I was with him.... how come??? it wasn't that obvious then mei? Now I conclude... Love is blind... haha...

Anyway, let me recall a recent showdown of Mr Calm versus Ms Clumsy........

I was on the bed sleeping. He was playing his game.

Well.... I started rolling, trying to find a suitable position...

Ha.. I think I enjoyed rolling on the bed so much so that I forgot I was on the edge already.

mmmm.. wait! or was I dreaming?? I think I am dreaming. I can't be that clumsy.

Anyway, I was on the bed one second ago and ..........................

I was falling down the bed the next second...

After that second, my upper body was on the floor, with my lower body on the bed and in that position, I looked up at him.

I think my bf is too engross in his game alr...

He just simply grabbed my arm and pulled me up onto the bed and continued his stupid game....nagging at me while playing his stupid game...

"how come like that also can fall down?!"

So.... I have concluded that his game is more important than me... or maybe he is used to my clumsiness...

but then guess what?????

his nagging grew by maybe a thousand times after that fall.... okie.. maybe not a thousand times... but it's a million times...

Weight Gaining

2009-07-12T09:25:00.000-07:00

omg...

i realised that my weight only increased.... it doesnt show any signs of decreasing...

sianx...

at most.. it just hover around the same weight.. sometimes increases and sometimes decreases... increases by maybe 0.5kg and decreases by maybe 0.5kg???

was it because im older alr? losing weight seems to be such a difficult task!

aim to lose abt 5 kg by early september... but i dun think it is possible now alr...

okie... i aim to lose 3 kg by early september then! haha...

okie... i will go jog mmm.. at least twice a week?

common~! who wanna make this bet with me? hahah... i need motivation to lose weight!!

hee...

mmmm... if i didnt lose weight... i willlllllllllllllllllll.....

haha...we shall negotiate again... =)... actually my weight gain is quite obvious in the recent photos taken....

compare it with my older post and u will see the difference... =(....

i think maybe i ate too much in kuching...=p... ha

Kuching - Sarawak

2009-06-20T11:48:00.000-07:00

I nv tot that sarawak is located not in Malaysia until this year..

My friends have told me sarawak is in east malaysia... i told okie... the east side of malaysia... mmm... nearby near KL or dunno where... ...

It was this year that i realised Sarawak and Sabah are located in another part of Malaysia...

Both of them formed part of the Borneo Island...

Felt that I seems a bit ignorant when I asked questions abt Kuching history and Kuching geography....

mmm... went to kuching with him for approximately 2 weeks. was very excited but at the same time nervous.

alot of questions run through my head when the date to kuching is nearing..

thinking....

will his family members like me? will they think that im pampered? will they think that we are not suitable? and alot of stuff la....

DAYS IN KUCHING

We reached the airport at night.. his mother and cousin picked us up...

first impression of his mother is that she is quite friendly...

after dunno how many minutes of drive, i reached his house....

met his grandmother....

his grandmother reminds me of my late ah ma... I think the size are similar.. age are quite near to each other.. my ah ma was 78 and his grandmother is early 80s.. and the elders of that generation wear similar clothings as well. I miss my ah ma very much....

when we were, it happened to be kuching's sch holiday.. so his mum is free as well (she is a sch teacher).. she drove me ard when i was there... he followed along as well...

normally we are out sightseeing in the day and we will be back by evening so that we can have dinner at home...

his grandmother prepared the dinner... i love her cooking... only managed to learn from her one dish... mmm... but then i think he knows it better than me...

when we are free, we played nitendo wii which he bought just 2 days before we leave singapore..

conquering Resident Evil was the main activity when we were at home... there will always be one player.. and 2 audiences (me and his younger cousin) adding on to the sound effect..

his house is very lively at night when his relatives will come over for dinner, watch tv and chit chat...

hah.... alot or maybe all commented that he has grown fatter...=p... sometimes im wondering he grew fatter because of me or i grew fatter because of him....

went to Samatan Beach for the weekend. It was a long drive from Kuching. On the way, they dropped by Sirikin. It is like a market for the locals but set up by Indonesian.

Then we went to Fairy Cave. It was a long climb into windy and cool cave. When we were at the entrance of the cave, cold cave kept rushing out.. A great contrast between the temperature at outside and inside. It was dark inside but we managed to spot a few bats hanging upside and resting for the day.

There are several other caves in Kuching. We dropped by Wing Cave as well..

When we finally reached Sematan Beach, it is already 2pm plus. The weather was even hotter at the beach.. I don't even feel like going out. Just feel like sleeping inside the chalet for the day. Haha..

Anyway, we went cycling after some time nua-ing in the chalet..

There is no cycling track at the beach. So we had to cycle out along the road. I think partly because we are bringing a kid with us, we need to stop whenever vehicles drove past us. . .

The beach is the next stop after cycling! After some splashing water and relaxing in the sea, he decided to rent a kayak..

haha.. so they took turns to kayak. and guess what? hah.. we noted a trend. No matter who edwin kayak with, the kayak will capsize. haha..tested and proven and the result is 100% of the sample size. =p... mmmm... wonder why will that happen... ha...

anyway, the sunset was fantastic.. i missed the sunrise though. hah.. cos we were too lazy to wake up. i think only edwin, me and his cousin were sleeping, the others all managed to wake up and catch the sunrise... I think the sunrise should be nice.. since the sunset was so nice...

mm... the next week was spent traveling around kuching again...

went to the cultural village and learn more abt the history of kuching...

went to the musuem to see the top 10 museum in Asia... it was really not bad... different theme in different buildings...

went around to eat...

other than that, it will be spent in the house playing resident evil... =p... or maybe watching him play resident evil..

stress

2009-05-17T08:35:00.000-07:00

i think im quite stress today...

cos tml i will be going through my e-dialouge with my performance manager = whether i will be able to get promoted to senior level..

due to the financial economic crisis or maybe other reasons, i think the no of ppl promoting esp to seniors will be more difficult... i think that means u need to perform above average and ur technical skills must be quite good in order to be promoted...

now im thinking....

im thinking if he were to ask me the following questions, how am i going to answer:

do u think u have the ability to become a senior?
i felt that maybe i dun have.. felt that i will be nervous when im stress and im stress easily... and my multi-tasking skills is not very good... and i think my technical skills are normal only... haix.. cham ahx....

then im thinking.... if he were to give me good news... i think u will be able to promote to senior.. however, u must brush up on ur techical skills...
now im wondering whether i will be able to stay calm and manage the team... haix.... how how how???

actually, i really feel that a job is dependent on the senior and how well can the senior manage the team and plan the work..

the things that a junior will be able to do is limited... the junior will do the part by doing the fieldwork well and communicating any issues to the senior...

so i think the role of a senior is very important....

will i be able to take up the task?

World's Most Unique 5 Strangely Coloured Beaches‏

2009-04-05T09:11:00.000-07:00

i received this email from my friend... interesting leix....

Punalu'u Beach

Punalu'u Beach is the most visited of the few black sand beaches on Hawaii 's Big Island and the stunningly black sand is actually volcanic rock, deposited as lava and subsequently cooled when met by the ocean. Apparently to take any of the sand home would result in you being cursed by a volcano goddess by the name of Pele.

Papakolea Beach

One of only 2 green sand beaches in the world, the truly magnificent sight of Papakolea Beach can be experienced by travelling to Hawaii 's Ka'u district. Again, the unique colour of its sand can be attributed to volcanic activity - specifically, the green hue belongs to the abundance of olivine crystals which have been produced as a result of a nearby cinder cone erupting and eroding.

Hyams Beach

You may need to wear your shades when visiting Hyams Beach in New South Wales , Australia , but not just due to the sun. It's not surprising after looking at photos but this sublime stretch of beach is home to the whitest sand in the world, an honour awarded by the Guinness Book of Records.

Pfeiffer Beach

The hills surrounding Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur , California , are rich in Manganese Garnet. A result of this being washed down onto the beach is the colour scheme you can see above - the entire stretch of sand has become a shifting, pink and purple canvas. Although it's probably inedible, I can't help picturing a bowl of Raspberry Ripple ice-cream every time I see it.

Kaihalulu

You won't find many beaches elsewhere in the world with sand as red as this one. Kaihalulu, or Red Sand Beach , is situated on the island of Maui and can thank the neighbouring cindercone hill for its intensely deep red appearance.

New Song.

2009-04-03T08:55:00.000-07:00

ha... im gg to repeat my old song this time....=p....

i played it after i watched moulin rouge....

at first when i put it in my play cos i was touched by the movie... felt that this song is nice...

however, this time round played it again because of its special meaning....

i used to wonder what does come wat may mean?

do u know???

i think if u know... u will think this is a very touching and sweet song...

come wat may -----------

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

seniors

2009-03-29T09:53:00.001-07:00

there are some seniors whom i dun mind working OT for them....i dun mind coming in during weekends and working late for them...

but there are some seniors whom i dun even wan to waste my weekdays working late cos of them...

i had a senior whom i felt that working late for her is not worth it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i am super angry.. i am gg to vent in my blog.. for those who have my blog address, please read and forget abt it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
been working late these few weekends. wanted to go off 'early' this friday.. at abt 11pm... (FYI, 11 plus is considered early for me... my normal working hours is till 1am)

at abt 9 plus, my senior came back from her facial and my colleaque and i notify her on our intention...

then abt 10plus, she 'asked' us is it okie if we could fill up the accounts for her and clear all the queries and stuff later on...

i think it might be selfish of me to think that how come she dun wan to fill it in herself. it is her work and not ours. our duty is to perform field work and her duty is to fill in and check the FS.

it is just that it is really not being very fair.

she went for facial while we were working... and then she came in late while we came in early...

then she needs to work late and we have to work late with her as well!

i think whoever who are under her wont feel balance at all...

and guess what.. she sent us an email and notify her that she worked till 6 am in the morning editting 2 accounts and is it possible for us to help her edit and check the remaining the figures for 4 accounts when we come back during weekend. she just concentrate on editting the wordings for the remaining 4 accounts.

wth right..

actually if it were to be other seniors, i dun think i will mind. but it is just her...

and KPMG is not paying us our OT. what makes her feel that she has the right to ask us work late..

Koalas...

2009-03-14T02:14:00.000-07:00

received an email from my sis...

that shows all the photos of koalas!

aren't they cute????????!!!!

on some note, i think we have some similiarities...

we both like to sleep......

In less than a year...

2009-03-11T01:39:00.000-07:00

in less than a year, i have lost my two grandparents....

last year on March 10, i lost my ah gong....

and this year on March 7, i lost my ah ma....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on 6th March, I went to my ah ma house to see her... cos my mum says she is not doing well....

went there and saw her opening her eyes.. though they are not moving, at least they are opened. being a long time since they were opened. was it because she wanted to see us for the one last time?

when i went there and touched her, i realised that she has lost so much weight over the last year. all i felt was bones on her arms... =(.. my hearts ache on how much pain she had suffered over the last year...

for the past few times when i went to visit her, i always cried... cried like mad... but this time round, i didnt... just felt happy to see her... feel like hugging her.. maybe that time i was thinking she will be able to make it through this time round again.... but i was wrong...

my mum woke me up in the morning and told me the news i didnt want to hear....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i went over to my ah ma's house and saw her lying there... she looked like she is sleeping... sleeping soundly... touched her hand... doesnt feel cold... her head too...

i wonder... will she wake up if i were to shout her name louder.... will she wake up if i push her harder...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
at 12 plus, the people came and the ritual started... it repeated itself.. just like last year...

saw her body being carried down and into coffin... finally, i broke down when they nailed the coffin... that's when i realised i will nv get to see her again....

nv get to eat the things she cooks...nv get to hear her scolding us...nv get to hear her speaking of the old days...nv get to hug her again...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
my little cousin asked me when the coffin is being nailed...

"ah ma 现在开心吗？"

i dunno how to answer him....

i know actually she doesnt wan to die... she is a lady with a very strong will...

she raised up 12 kids... took care of them and protect them when my grandpa wasn't feeling well...

i think without her, the family wouldn't survive...

i think my ah gong is really fortunate to have her around...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sometimes i will think that maybe she is happier right now as compared to the time when she is alive with the needles and being feed through her nose and lying on the bed all the time....

however, when i remembered that actually she doesnt really want to die... my heart aches...

there's once when she suddenly broke down in the hospital... that's the first time i saw her cried.... she asked me.... xin ah... will i die????

i said no.... ah ma... dun worry... u wun die one...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cried the hardest during the first two days... subsequently, i didn't cry anymore... not sure why, i had this feeling that actually she didn't really leave us... she's still ard near us...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i will feel weird when i saw her photo at the wake... sometimes i will feel that it wasnt really her wake that i was attending...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
actually im not one who is good in facing the music i think......

i misses her very much.........

Neglecting the whole world....

2009-03-05T07:43:00.000-08:00

the whole world is complaining that im neglecting them....

firstly the G1s... complaint that i neglect them when i have a boyfriend...

next, my friends complaint that i havent been joining them in their gathering...

and guessed what? my boyfriend complaint too! complaint that i neglect him too... neglect his feelings...

what happened ???????

so in the end, who has my attention all the while???

actually, i understand why the G1s and my friends are complaining.. i really did spent lesser time when them... spent more time with my boyfriend instead... most of my weekends are spent with him...

so why does my boyfriend complaint to me that i neglected him too???!!!!

omg manx...

at first i was quite perplexed why does he feel so? i have been spending time with him all the while... when did i neglected him??

i dun think i neglected him....

these few days... he was hinting me... dropping me hints and clues on his feelings.. why he felt that i neglected him.... at first i tot i know... but in actually i dunno.... ha.. bu dong zhuang dong lo...

but luckily i have an intelligent and patient boyfriend...

even though i'm physically with him... but we are not mentally connected... quoted by him.. i only care for the physical contact...

it was till these few days then i realised that actually i have been hot and have been cold....he has been telling me that i have been hot and cold... but i nv realised how tiring it can be till these few days.... amazing how he managed to make me understand... zhen shi li hai.. ha...

however, think i have been making him very tired...trying to understand what i am feeling.... and trying to get my attention...maybe i really took him for granted....

so now it is my turn... hopefully i will be in time.......

2 months old

2009-03-01T09:02:00.000-08:00

I have a boyfriend who is very naggy.

nag at me all day and night long..ha..=p..

nagging is just one of his strength that i found out after we were together...

another thing that i discovered was he is actually a very sweet guy.

looks can be deceiving is best used on him...

he looked like someone who will bully me.. but seems like im bullying him more instead.. =p... mmm.. okie.. he has his fair share of bullying me too actually...

like the way he looked at me anxiously...

like the way he dote on me...

in fact, like him when he nagged at me too...

in fact, sometimes he is quite trusting too.. =p... like a small kid like that...

wondering how many months old can we be.. as old as our parents??? =)

I'm yours

2009-03-01T08:40:00.001-08:00

Song for the month....

a song which i will never get sick of listening to it.... =)

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, and now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours

actually i think there's a live version which is nicer...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

2009-02-14T09:53:00.001-08:00

it is a nice movie...

about a guy who was borned old and then he gradually becomes younger.... and then in the end, when he died, he was a child....

when he was borned, his mother died giving birth to him. and his father got a shock when he saw him and he placed him outside someone's house..

lucky 'old' benjamin.. a lady is kind enough to adopt him as her child and took care of him...

day by day... he looked younger and younger.... and he died as a baby...

o course... he did have a wife (his 'childhood' playmate).. and eventually a child with her...

in the end, he left his wife... afraid that in the end his wife might have to look after two kids...

i'm wondering if i were his wife, will i be able to accept that my husband becomes younger as time goes by instead of aging with me...

bday celeb and dancing! =)

2009-02-05T08:44:00.001-08:00

went for janey's bday celeb after my wheelock at Miss Clarity in bugis...

I must say that the restaurant is a must not try...

firstly, the service aren't good.. aunty merry passed the waiter janey's cake and asking him to help her put the cake into the fridge. but he just left the cake at the front door and serve other customers. we have to remind him before he put the cake into the fridge.

secondly, the food is not nice at all considering an average of $10 plus with service charges and GST.... we all tried their chef recommendation and none of them except for one is nice. kin commented that those that were tagged chef recommendations are those that are more pricey in the menu.. that restaurant really CMI manx. omg...

but anyway, we still have a good time over there, taking photos and chit-chating..

the cake is fantastic with the macrons... arigatou zhe yan!mmm.. nope.. i think must thank janey.. if not for her, we cant taste it also.. hah... but the cakes and macrons are from candele... really must try!~

after the dinner, the whole group of us went to support ah yuan for his dance competition.

thanks to ah yuan, we managed to get free tickets. but then we are suppose to hype up the crowd cos there is no free lunch in this world. even so, our dress code on that day arent hip hop at all! hah... wondering how are we gg to hype up the crowd.

anyway, it's a competition held along padang after chingay, on the street. so all of us are suppose to stand on the street and look at the not so tall stage.

for me who is not very tall have difficulty trying to see the dance. abit sian la actually.

dunno whether is it cos we all saw too many dance performance (all thanks to ah yuan.. we have been supporting him since secondary.. 忠实supporter! ), that i think actually alot of the dance looks the same actually. kin agreed with me too! i think right.. maybe what differentiate the dance is which dance can hype up the crowd and also which group is more syncronize and more complicate? ha.. i aslo dunno...maybe should check with him..

anyway, ah yuan got third.. congrats!

wheelock

2009-02-05T08:39:00.000-08:00

there are five people in this year's wheelock team as compared to last year's six people..

mmm... but then seems like the working hours are the same i think..

we went off earlier during the weekdays at about 10 plus as compared to last year's 11 plus 12 plus...

but then we have to work on both days of weekend instead of last year's one day...

I prefer this year instead of last year's?

mmm... maybe cos one AM is there last year instead?

felt more enjoyable and less stressful this year as compared to last year...

i think team members really make a difference

New Song!

2009-02-05T08:24:00.000-08:00

New Year 2009

2009-01-24T00:42:00.000-08:00

It has been 24 days past new year and I havent had time to sit down and write down my New Year Resolutionssssssssss!

okie.. let me recapped my new year resolutions for year 2008...

cant find the blog in this website.. was located in my old blog as follow...

http://fallingstarz.blog.friendster.com/

here goes...

1. to slim down o cos…. =P…
---> let me see... i think i didnt.. in fact, i think i gained 2kgs over the past 1 year.. shit...

2. to able to survive in kpmg..
---> okie... i did survived for 1 year....

3. find my mr right?
---> mmmmmmmm....... this is a very subjective thingy.. who is my mr right and what defines my mr right????

4. to tidy up my house… =P… haha… ridiculous that this gets to be my new year resolution… wun wan to know how messy my house is…
---> this is definitely not be met.. ..

5. save more money and spent less! save at least 400 a month? possible???
---> not met as well... spent more actually...

6. update more post??? went to read my older post… really enjoyed reading them… bring back my memories… =)
---> okie.. this is considered met... wrote quite a number of post actually..

and now my 2009 resolutions...

1. to slim down... haix.. this new year resolution just keep repeating itself year after year.. maybe i should be more specific...

a. to exercise (like jogged for 30 mins at least twice a week) maybe i should learn from ade (my senior in kpmg).. she used to cycle on the bicycle bike for 45 mins everyday.. amazed by her determination.. she's my idol man..
b. to cut down on my food intake. hah.. especially at night..

2. do not procrastinate.. I think what I'm best in is actually procrasinating... so those things that need to done must be done by that day and not the day after what..

3. finding my right... mmmmm...

I used to think that my parents are a perfect couple... and there's a saying that 属牛的和属鸡的 are very compatible. That's my dad and mum... haha.. so used to set that as one of my criteria and also... wanted to look for someone who is the same type of my horoscope...mmm.. someone from capricorn, virgo or taurus... so I would think that maybe my Mr Right is someone who is 属鸡的 and that is someone from capricorn, virgo or taurus. ha.. naive belif right?

Subsequently, I realised that's not neccessarily all these will make a relationship worked out...

My parents used to quarrel alot during the early stage. (that's what my mum told me) and it was subsequently through understanding and tolerating with each other that makes their love for each other so strong.

learning how to understand, tolerate and trust....

4. writing down the details of my everyday life... it is good to be able to be able to remember what happened in the past.

Beheaded or not.

2009-01-23T21:03:00.001-08:00

The verdict for the melamine case is finally out.

I have been wondering will the wicked woman heading San Lu group be sentenced to death.

She has caused the death of about six children and more than 300,000 babies have fallen ill with utinary trat ailments, including kidney stones. The worse thing is she is well aware of what is her product causing since May and she only announced it in August, with no action to remove her products off the shelves in supermarkets.

Well... Despite all the wicked things she has done, she was not being sentenced to death. Life imprisonment was the verdict for her instead.

Now, I wonder what the judges in China deemed that will constitute a death sentence if the actions of concealing her tainted products which caused the death of babies and babies to have kidney stones doesnt result in one.

Melamine

Extracted from wikipedia

Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant.” However, the toxic dose is on a par with common table salt with an LD50 of more than 3 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.[12] FDA scientists explained that when melamine and cyanuric acid are absorbed into the bloodstream, they concentrate and interact in the urine-filled renal microtubules, then crystallize and form large numbers of round, yellow crystals, which in turn block and damage the renal cells that line the tubes, causing the kidneys to malfunction.[13]

The European Union set a standard for acceptable human consumption of melamine at 0.5 milligrams per kg of body mass, Canada declared a limit of 0.35 mg and the US FDA’s limit was put at 0.63 mg, but was later reduced to 0.063 mg daily. The World Health Organization’s food safety director estimated that the amount of melamine a person could stand per day without incurring a bigger health risk, the "tolerable daily intake" (TDI), was 0.2 mg per kg of body mass.[14]

Red Cliff II

2009-01-17T20:55:00.000-08:00

went to catch red cliff II after a long and busy day on saturday...

the movie starts at 11.40pm and ended at 2am...

both of us concluded that the movie was alright.

maybe our opinion might have change if we catched the movie at a more normal timing like 2pm instead of 1140pm? esp when we were both exhuasted from work. but then, weekends are the only chance when we can meet up.

here's some comments for the movie..

felt that the first episode was better than the second one... in terms of plot..

but i must admit the effects created during the war on the sea and land were superb, esp the part when they are attacking the ships and when all the ships are on fire. and also the part when 诸葛亮

so i guess it will be better if you watch the two movies together and I am sure that you will conclude that that is a good show.

or maybe it will be better if you havent read the books... just felt that the story stray away from the original story too much

calm and compose

2009-01-15T09:21:00.000-08:00

i am sure no one will ever link the above two words "calm" and "compose" to me in any instances.

I am somemore who gets gan jiong easily. i dunno why leix... wondering was i quite like that all along or i gradually changed to become a gan jiong spider. hah..

anyway, i must say i have a senior who is always calm and compose in all times. recently worked with him on this job which i have totally no idea on the operations of the company.

okie.. at least i know it does hedging, trading of options, forwards, swaps and futures.as for other details, i dun really have an idea i think.

or maybe cos he is the senior, so he managed to answer the queries with a very leng jing tone.

i think im lost without him in nestle. okie.. or maybe it was my lack of knowledge on the company that resulted that?

mmmm..so maybe you need to know your things before u can be calm and compose

hah... okie.. i will try to get all my stuff right next time...

as for any other reasons, i will try to find out and update u guys again. hah..

Happy 51st Birthday!

2009-01-04T09:32:00.000-08:00

My beloved father turned 51 tommorow.. so we went out to Jurong Hill Top for dinner today...

chose Jurong hill top cos it has been a long time since the family went there.. we used to go there to skip? hahah.. not sure what was the reason though.. not to eat but to skip.. all the way up to jurong hill top...

anyway, the teppanyaki chef guessed my father's age.. and guess what??? he tot he is 60... omg... im sure my father doesnt look anywhere near 60... i think he still look handsome and charming..=p..

mmm.. the teppanyaki tasted not bad.. quite nice ahx... they have complimentary vege (bean sprout) and desserts..

the rare family photos...

this is clearer...

Hot N Cold

2009-01-04T09:17:00.000-08:00

time for a new song...

haha.. wanted to put 国境之南.. but then i think it is too slow and sad to start a new year.. so decided to put this song.. more lively?

mmm... chance upon this song when someone told me one day that I am hot then I am cold.. and I am yes and then I am no...

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah, you PMS like a bitch
I would know

And you always think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know
That you're not gonna change

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a rollercoaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh

You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down, down, down, down...

IP Man

2009-01-04T08:57:00.000-08:00

IP Man is being pronounced as "yip mun" and not "I P man" or "yip man"

Movie is starred by Donnie yen. love his fighting scenes. jet li's as well.

i think i really did prefer fighting scenes more than anything else. think i like him because of the serial 精武门 whereby he play the role of 陈真， the disciple of 霍元甲。

was in awe with his fighting skills.

haha...

mmm.. as for the story line, i should say it is a tyical chinese 武侠小说 story。..

《叶问》的故事发生在上世纪正值战祸乱世的中国，叶问是一名单纯醉心武术、追求武学自由的武痴，充满仇恨和悲剧的大时代并不在他的视野当中，他只专注于对武术的执著与热情。然而出于对民族的热爱和对武学精神的不断参悟，叶问一步步走出武痴的局限，在一场场畅快淋漓的忘我比拼中，扛起振兴中华的大旗。

haha.. handsome... ops... okie..i admit i have a preference for older man.

Twilight

2008-12-29T07:04:00.001-08:00

went to catch twilight on saturday...

i shall declared that ah yuan is the bravest of all.. meet him for consecutively three days since he was back and guess what? he havent gotten chicken pox before... 真是勇敢的战士. haha

anyway, catched twilight with him and merry...

alot of ppl said that male lead is very handsome.. basically all the reviews abt this show was from females. told me it was really a nice show..

so decided to jio the 2 of them..

mmmmm...

this show is a typical teenange romance.. i guess im too old for that? it gets abit draggy towards the middle and the end... ah yuan was already yawning with his super sian look beside me and aunty merry just keep sneezing into her tissue.. (hopefully i didnt pass my chicken pox disease to her..=( )

watching this show will sort of make you recall the days when you were in sec sch or jc.. those sweet sweet admiring... i think so la.. at least for me...

other than that, i felt that it is really quite boring except for the baseball game and the part whereby the male lead and the bad guy fight.

mmmm... i guess i prefer fighting scenes more than romance...

there is sequel to this show for your info... three more actually...

and i bought the storybooks for this movie despite me saying that the show is normal..

i think story book might be better than movie ba.. it is always like that isnt it?? =)

cointreaupolitan, tom collins, long island tea..

2008-12-26T09:40:00.000-08:00

after infecting vin's house last nite due to the mahjong sesssion after the jyians saga in the airport, i went his house again!

to play mahjong again! and.... to try his cocktail he made......

according to mr ah yuan, it is not good to stop during the mahjong session and have a break... however, in the end, he was the one who suggested taking a break instead.. omg..

anyway, we had a break and went to try the cocktails that vin made...

as the saying goes....每个成功男人的背后都有一个女人。。。so that's vin & jessie...=)

long island iced tea.... dun be fooled by the name. it is a tea in disguise.. it is made of several alcohol such as vodka, rum, gin and tequila... so it is in fact quite strong...

海角七号

2008-12-24T06:49:00.000-08:00

this show was recommended by zilong...

he recommended me like months ago??? i tried to watch it weeks ago. However, the lack of development, the failure to link the parts and the inability to differentiate the different characters ( i watched it online) in the show during the first 10-20 mins make me lose interest in that show.. hee..

However, after being stucked in my house for days and I can't stepped out of my house so distances more than 1km, I decided to challenge that show again...

yesh! Finally managed to finish this show after 2 hours!

my comments about this show....

I don't really understand what is the story behind the show. =p.. Anyone who knows please enlighten me. Maybe the taiwanese will understand the show more?

However, it seems to be quite a good show. Though it took me several attempts to settle down and watch the show, it did managed to capture my attention towards the middle part

The songs are nice.. =)

2。国境之南

Four Christmases

2008-12-22T13:22:00.000-08:00

caught this in the movie about 1 or 2 weeks ago?

mmm.... this movie is about 1 hour and a half with the male and female lead being Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon ...

a light romantic comedy...

the story plot is sth like this..

the male and female lead dun wished to be tie down and does not wish to commit themselves to marriage even though they are a couple for several years already.

i think for the americans or english, it is a trend that everyone will be home for christmases.

however, in order to avoid that (i think they dun wish to spend time with their family members), they decided to go overseas for holiday and lied to their families that they are on a community service mission to cambodia.

however, in the end, the plane got delayed so they ended up going to their parents places for christmases.

as both of their parents are divorced, they ended up going to four families...

each families has their own stories which in turn change their mindset on families, settling down and having children....

ya ahx.. roughly like that....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
actually dun really have much comment for this movie.. quite funny at times... mmm..but dun thnk will recommend u to watch it during weekends... ya lo... not very spectacular la actually...

okie... i intend to watch IP Man later on and mmmm... maybe Yes Man...

bridging....

2008-12-07T11:55:00.000-08:00

jessie msged me a dunno how many msg msg persuading me to go with janey and ting... janey too...

didnt joined them cos firstly, i wan to shop with merry more.. secondly, i dun think i will be able to shop with ting and not feeling awkward even though we are able to play mahjong like nth has happened...

mahjong only take abt like 3 hours at most? whereas for shopping, it will take like more than 3 hours, even abt twice or thrice the 3 hours.. and that's only the 3 of us... dun tink i will be able to converse with her normally.. will be talking to janey mostly ba...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

actually i really miss the times when we went out together... haha.. laughing together, gossiping together, shopping together, crying together... like what i have mentioned in the post in 2005 (that was really very long ago)... really been through quite a lot...

i also dunno what happened that causes this friendship to 变质... was it the decision i made or was it the decision she made later or was it our characters that just make it difficult for the three of us to be friends for long.. there always exist a period of cooling down...

actually, i dun really wan to change my life right now... maybe im being selfish...is it? but i just dun wan to change... work is making me very tired... i dun wan another complicated friendship to tire me further...

if it is not possible to trust me in future, why bother to mend the bridge between us...

like what janey says, we are adults now..and we have our commitments... dont think there will be time for quarrels to happen.... and distrust to happen... cos we might not even see each other once in a month... unlike in the past when we will see each other at least twice a month? or maybe more....

but then, sometimes i just felt that the gap is there.... it will be very "..." of me to ignore that gap and treat it as nth has happened...

time will tell i guess....

where most of the sales are! =p....

2008-12-07T08:57:00.000-08:00

haha..went shopping with aunty merry again!!

hahah... i tink it has become a twice a week function... or is it thrice a week ???

managed to pyscho her to go orchard.. haha.. cos according to rach, there are alot of sales going on in orchard... everywhere is having sales!!!

bought lotsa things man... 2 dresses and 2 cardigans, cardigans are both from zara.. red and white cardi!

actually, my shopping skills is amazing i must admit...haha.. 老王卖瓜

cos right , it all happened within the last 4 hours.. the first few hours, i wasnt feeling very well... firstly, my whole body is aching, then im suffering from stomach cramps, and then, im tired... think can fall aslp anytime.. haha even had the intention to go home and slp...

i think must be the stomach cramps making me look like im dying anything soon... have to suffer it once a month...

actually, merry also not bad... she bought quite a lot of stuff too lo...

met janey and ting while shopping... mmmm... actually i know they are coming to orchard la....

Time for a new song!

2008-12-02T01:01:00.000-08:00

heee... christmas is coming!!!! i love christmas and i love december.... i dunno why...... anyway, here's the new song...

choose the following song cos it is really very lively..... yeah yeah...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is...
You

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeers click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
Ooh baby
All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is...
You

All I want for Christmas is you... baby (repeat and fade)

UnIts in KPMG

2008-12-01T09:19:00.001-08:00

today is the first day of my secondment to another unit, A1G.

and guess what???? I forgot to bring my phone... what’s new right… so ended up being uncontactable.. when i reached home, i saw like lotsa sms alerts from Singtel saying XXXX tried calling you but you were uncontactable..... there are a few weird nos which i didnt see before... but nvm la...

anyway, felt abit weird being seconded to another unit… have been wondering what will it be like if I were to work with ppl from our unit…

but actually they are really quite friendly la I think...

then heard from the fellow G1 who is working with me, the leave of the ppl from her unit was really being plotted by the staff managers or whoever instead of them plotting themselves… omg… super sian right… that makes no difference from working in those MNC companies…

one thing I like abt audit is that I can take super long long leave… hee… just like going for school hols like that.. haha.. but not 3 months long la.. o cos…

I think there is a difference between my unit and their unit… I think our unit are more friendly.. haha.. seems like the senior and the G1 like abit not very close leix… really work and dun talk de.. okie la.. chatting maybe will decrease efficiency but make ur mood better ma…

And hor… I think our unit more ,….. dunno how to say… let me quote the following example…

Haha…

The G1 (sandy) came in and told the senior (aileen) can I have the white box….

For a split second, I was wondering what white box was she referring toooooooo?????

White box???? or maybe her unit got this type of white box whose function is same as black box…　okie la.. that's lame.. anyway, she is refering to the starhub mobile broadband that KPMG provided to the senior.. it took me a few seconds to realise...

cos our unit named it 　“小白”

much more humanised??? hahah.. okie la.. but actually our unit is not really very humanized frankly speaking... hah.. just that it is more fun to be in... i think la... seniors are crazy.. with GAs even crazier... but managers are the craziest... hahaha.. kidding la....

okie.. shall keep u all updated on whether other units are better or A1K is better.. hee.....

Heineken

2008-11-25T06:43:00.000-08:00

went to Heineken for audit 2 weeks ago..

the audit was considered quite rush i think...

on the first day, we met our client. the first tot that came to my mind was that she seems quite bossful...

but at yen yen's umpteem times of persuading, i shall drop that tot and think that she wasnt really wat she seems...

after some interaction with her, i finally decided that she was really not what she seems to be. she is in fact really quite competent and knows what she is doing and she is very helpful.

however, on the second day, she went on MC. the third day as well.... we started to panick.... afraid that we cant finish our stuff.. esp yen yen who will be gg for training on friday..

she is finally back on thursday and friday....

chatted with her on friday... actually felt quite guilty... really wanted to chat with her more on her china trips... however, im really scare my stuff cant finish.... so i have to cut our conversation...

by friday night, she really seems quite pale.... in fact, her eyes become very red...

she was on leave on monday as well..

a few days pass by... then 1 week pass by... and 2 weeks pass by and in the morning, yen yen msged me....

told me that she passed away.....

that news was really very shocking to me.. i cant believe it...

till the time i received yen yen's msg, i still believe that she will recover and perhaps i might see her on finals when i go in...

started to regret that i cut our conversation....

started to regret that i nv really chatted with her...

her death makes me think of something.....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

felt that sometimes auditor are quite annoying... haha... in the client perspective o cos...

when they are here, they are just here to check ur stuff... doubt ur work and question u like nobody business

the worse thing is you have to repeat the things u told them every year because they change every year and they will ask u the same question every year...

because when i was in heinken, i felt that i was annoying... i have no choice... cant really chat with client... can only talk to her on audit matters on work.. even if it was chat, it has to be a small chat... very small chat... if u chat too long, seniors will think whether u spend more time chatting or working...

and if u dun interact with client, client will hate u... cos when they saw u, it means her work doesnt ties or means pushing back her stuff and entertain u...

how? which type of auditor do i wan to be ?

G1s

2008-11-08T10:31:00.000-08:00

met up with jac, elaine and lynn for ktv session.. actually there's joe too, jac's friend...

however, after the ktv session, jac, elaine, lynn and i went to swensens for some 'ice-cream'...

haha... our main motive was to have ice-cream there... however, in the end, no one ordered ice-cream... all ordered side dishes or main course instead... lynn even ordered a set of hearty american breakfast...

we ate while we chatted...

i realised it really has been a long long time since the G1s meet up already...

the last time when we meet up was lynn's bday celebration on 11th sept.... mmmm.... that was like 1 1/2 month ago?????

okie la.. we did meet up during the unit trip... however, that was only like 6 of us ????

so suddenly quite miss them ahx...

alot of them are so busy with work... the tiong seng ppl... and the ACCA ppl cant meet on friday...

and hardclose are starting... alot of ppl are overseas...

when a few are back, a few are going off....

wonder when will the whole group meet up again....

nvm... i will just go org again!

i think coming nov and end dec...=).....

cheese tart....

2008-11-07T12:05:00.000-08:00

Intended to make strawberry or blueberry tarts when I'm on leave for that week.

However, due to a special request, I decided to conquer cheese tart.

Anyway, first the tart crust....

The ingredients are as follows:

1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs (I used McVites as a subsitute instead)
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted

Please note that the serving is for 8. mmm... I think maybe 8 big pies? not really sure how many does the 8 serves actually...

anyway, my serving was to divide it by 2.... but it was way too much ??? I think it can make like more than 20 small tarts?

The instructions:
1. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and cinnamon until well blended . Press mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.

2. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 minutes. Cool. If recipe calls for unbaked pie shell, just chill for about 1 hour.

manage to grind the disgestive bscuits but I still think it is not very well grind.

anyway, everything went on smoothly until the butter... guess what I missed out the word MELTED after the butter... I used semi solid butter... so of course, the tart crust doesnt stick together... so.... redo everything lo......omg...

m, 4 tarts crust are out....

and now the filling.....

the ingredients are....:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

as mentioned above, this is to serve for 8.. haha... dunno 8 what though... 8 people? 8 pies? maybe 8 people ba...

anyway, my initial plan was to divide all the portion by 2... please take note of the word initial...

okie... here is the instruction for the filling for the cheese tart..

1. Combine cream cheese, eggs, 1 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low speed until smooth. Pour filling into graham cracker crust.
2. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Remove pie from oven. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

okie... i have added the cream cheese, the eggs, the suger... after mixing... please note that i dun have an electric mixer.. everything is done manually...=)... and... after mixing mixing mixing... it doesnt seems smooth... everything seems very lumpy.........

something doesnt seems right.....mmm....

okie... now i know why... before i mixed the eggs and suger with the cream cheese, i didnt mix the cream cheese in a smooth way... like 1 circular motion.. instead... i cut them into square pieces... soooooo.... it becomes lumpy...

and so i wasted one whole package of cream cheese....

this time round, i tried half a package of cream cheese instead...

soooo.... i first soften the cream cheese in a circulate motion first... so that after i add in the eggs and the sugar and start mixing them together, everything will hopefully come out smoothly as expected....

when i was doing this cheese tart, i was visualizing the cheese cake in hilton... it is very very very very nice... the nicest cheese cake i have eaten so far... haha.. and that is my target! =p...

so... i felt that to have such a smooth and delicious cheese cake, the cheese filling must be very smooth..... and so.... the stirring process starts...i stir, stir, stir and stir until the mixture becomes very smooth, until i become statisfied..

okie.. dunno after how many stirs, it indeed become quite smooth..... and i added a few drops of lemon... according to the website and i felt that adding lemon might decrease the level of sourness?

anyway, in the oven it goes, after i put the filling into the tart...

finally after about 30 mins, it's baked! hee... actually im not sure how to determine whether is it bake.... depends on gut feeling... i think my guage was on the filling.. when it became not as watery, i assume it is baked... hahah

send it over once it is done.. didnt really have a taste of the cheese tart...

and luckily, the remark for the cheese tart was it is nice.. esp for the cheese that part... mmm.. not sure what does it mean by nice though... smooth? not very sour? or??? haha...anyway, i dun think the tart is really nice.. i felt la.. though it smells quite nice...

taxi drivers... a gemini?

2008-11-07T11:59:00.000-08:00

i have mixed feeling for taxi drivers..

hate them to core when im on the road as a driver because they are reckless...dashing and overtaking like nobody's business when they are on the road.

HOWEVER,

whenever I took a late night taxi.. the reckless taxi driver will always changed into a gentlemanly guy who will at least make sure that I went into the lift safe and sound before setting off on another reckless journey...

mmm.. at least 8 out of 10 taxi drivers will do that...=).. how sweet of them isnt it?

I have some male friends who doesnt even check to make sure that you are safely home..

on leave...

2008-11-07T11:52:00.000-08:00

decided to go on leave for 1 week...

used to think that leave should be spent to go overseas.. because i have concluded that you dun have a lifetime to travel around the whole world and to cover all the countries.

However, after 1 year plus in audit, I felt that it is essential for you to go on leave for at least 1 week to recharge urself. It is especially important for auditors due to the long hours you need to work when u are on job and the high level of concentration.

i think it can be quite tiring for many people.

anyway, when i was on leave for this week.. i have thought of looking for a new job.. =P...

so i really did look through the classified ads... it might be due to recession or whatsoever. There are not much accounts related post. but the problem is even though there really is, accountants doesnt really interest me actually. not the current me maybe. felt that it is abit boring. auditors are more dynamic. used to be interested in banks before i joined audit. however, not really interested in banks again. haha.. maybe after im exposed to different clients in different industry, felt that bank doesnt really interest me. hah...mmm... maybe im have not really audited a bank before..=)...

so as of now, im not intending to change job actually after browsing through the classified...

mmm.. now im wondering if im really interested in changing, will i still write a post? hahah....

Ginvera Marvel Gel with Green Tea!

2008-11-04T10:52:00.000-08:00

heee.........

wanna recommend the above product to the gals who are viewing my blog! =)....

mmm.... i suddenly felt that my skin looks abit dull today.....

then remembered it has been a long long time since i exfoliates......

so i exfoliated using Ginvera Marvel Gel with Green Tea.....

indeed alot of dead skin got removed.....

and amazing, i felt that my face look brighter (glowing slightly) and is better than what i saw before...

believe me... im not exaggerating...... i really feel so...

haha... so i decided to share with others...and ade (my KPMG senior) told me that this gel has whitening effect....

and true enough after i went to read the prinouts on the container... it states the following.....

1. softens the cornified layer and gently removes dead skin cells
2. stimulates skin metobolism
3. has an anti-oxidant effect, makes skin look younger4. balances free radicas to delay the aging process
5. revitalises skin cells to lighten aging spots and freckles
6. softens, smoothens rough & coarse skin
7. removes make-up & impurities
8. safe to use daily, has no side effects

okie... let me see.... i think maybe the bold ones are those which i felt that was quite obvious after 1 wash ahx.... hee....

then i think 2 times a week (so maybe during sunday and wednesday) is the recommended no of times of wash..... yeah....

and rem to do your mask!!! masking is important tooooooo....=).....

mmmm... i havent been doing la actually.. hee... but will do it!!!

taiwan shows..

2008-11-04T09:44:00.000-08:00

haha...

being watching taiwan shows these few days...

something to worth mentioning is 大小爱吃... being hosted by 大 and 小 S... love the 综艺节目 hosted by them....

it used to be 娱乐百分百... like 4 or 5 years ago la...haha... but after that 罗志祥 took over.... and i didnt watch liao actually... dun really like him actually... felt that he is quite attention seeking at times

next is 大小爱吃....

anyway, watched one episode....

it is abt losing weight... hahah... yes... that's wat i need now..... i think i did gained weight when i started work... abt 2 kg???

anyway, they mentioned that the best way to lose weight is not to eat 4 hours before u sleep.... you might not think that it is not healthy.. However, come to think of it, your body wun be busy digesting the stomach in ur food if you slept before it finished digesting.. This explains the theory why we will have nightmare when we go to sleep when our stomach is very full... Therefore, does it sound reasonable not to eat 4 hours before you sleep???? hee...

and before you sleep... do abt 20-50 situp... mmm... but actually someone (i think it is vin) mentioned before sit up is actually to build muscles... therefore, if you have fats on your stomach, you shouldnt do sit-up.... you must first lose those muscles.. which is by running or doing aerobics exercise....

yesh....

so this are the things you need to do to slim down... hahaah... my theory la....

Firstly... run or do aerobics exercise (something that will make your body sweat) for at least 30 mins.....

Secondly... have a heavy lunch and skip your dinner or have an light lunch and an early dinner.... plan to sleep at least 4 hours after your dinner... but not too late.. you might end up having gastric....

Thirdly, if you are slim enough, do some sit-up before you sleep... it will help you tone your stomach....

eh... but they didnt mention anything abt flabby arms and thick thighs.... mmm.. okie... i will go research and inform you guys again....

Nature boy....

There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wandered
Very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
While we spoke
Of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return

Your song
My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on

So excuse me for forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is well I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Love song medley
Love is a many splendored thing,
Love lifts us up where we belong,
All you need is love!
[Nicole:]
Please, don't start that again
[Ewan:]
All you need is love!
[Nicole:]
A girl has got to eat!
[Ewan:]
All you need is love!
[Nicole:]
She'll end up on the street! (sigh)
[Ewan:]
All you need is looooove!
[Nicole:]
Love is just a game.
[Ewan:]
I was made for loving you baby,
You were made for loving me.
[Nicole:]
The only way of loving me baby,
Is to pay a lovely fee.
[Ewan:]
Just one night,
Give me just one night.
[Nicole:]
There's no way,
Cause you can't pay.
[Ewan:]
In the name of love!
One night in the name of love!
[Nicole:]
You crazy fool,
I won't give in to you.
[Ewan:]
Don't, leave me this way.
I can't survive, without your sweet love,
Oh baby, don't leave me this way.
[Nicole:]
You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs...
[Ewan:]
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no.
[Nicole:]
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs
[Ewan:]
Well what's wrong with that?
I like to know.
Cause here I go... again...
Love lifts us up where we belong!
Where eagles fly,
On a mountain high!
[Nicole:]
Love makes us act like we are fools.
Throw our lives away,
For one happy day.
[Ewan:]
We could be heroes...
Just for one day.
[Nicole:]
You, you will be mean.
[Ewan:]
No, I won't.
[Nicole:]
(sigh) And I, I'll drink all the time.
[Ewan:]
We should be lovers...
[Nicole:]
We can't do that.
[Ewan:]
We should be lovers!
And that's a fact.
[Nicole]
Though nothing, would keep us together.
[Ewan:]
We could steal time...
[Ewan & Nicole:]
Just for one day.
We could be heroes,
Forever and ever,
We could be heroes,
Forever and ever,
We can be heroes...
[Ewan:]
Just because I... will always love you...
[Nicole:]
I...
[Ewan & Nicole:]
...Can't help loving...
[Ewan:]
...You...
[Nicole:]
How wonderful life is,
[Ewan and Nicole:]
Now you're in, the world...

Come wat may
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

vin's & kin's bday celeb!

2008-10-29T07:47:00.000-07:00

okie... the 2 guys are 23 this year....

time flies... hahah....

anyway, celebrated their bday on the 26th October 2008.

the bday surprise was being planned by jessie, almost to perfection till the two bday boys dunno we are celebrating their bday....

firstly is vin......

i think jessie's acting skills must be super good... then vin didnt suspect that we ARE celebrating his bday together on the 26th October...

everyone are stationed are each level in heerens.... mainly....

ting & ming nan are at first level

janey and zhe yan are at the second level....

kin & fung xin are at the third level

and finally... aunty blur blur who is urs truly is at the fourth level... i think the most boring level is the fourth level and somemore im alone.... and i need to spend the most time trying to entertain myself before vin reached....

anyway, the plan is that we are gg to give him a surprise because he didnt know that we are here... he tot that we all have plans on that day and ARENT FREE AT ALL...

so........

5 mins before he reached...jessie gave me a call to station ourself and to pass the msg downwards (haha...according to the level we are at)....

anyway, after much much waiting, he FINALLY reached....

i think he most be cock eye or our acting skills are damn good...

firstly, when he was at first level... ting and ming nan were very near them... BUT he CANT see them! ming nan has to call him in order for him to take note of them... omg... and they lied to him that they are free for dinner.... but meeting their friends after dinner....

then...... they took the escalator up..... and reached the second level.... so janey and zhe yan are stationed there.... okie... i forgot wat was their reason for being there.... and vin BELIEVED them again! omg..... i cant imagine that.... isnt it too much a coincidence? hahaha.... i think in some way, he is too trusting... haha..=p....

then... the third level..... they "BUMPED" into kin and fung xin..... haha... they told him that they are celebrating their 2nd year anniversary in heerens and will be eating in billy bombers (when in fact, billy bombers is closed.. hahah..omg right).... and guess wat.... vin believed again.......hahah...

okie... finally my level.....

im stationed inside new urban male since jessie's msg "he is here!".... and after 'pretending' to be very very interested in their stuff for some time, they finally reach new urban male.....

okie... guess wat..... i am standing infront of vin for a very very very very very very long time.... and shaking non-stop (cos i cant help laughing!).... and he still havent see me!!! omg manx.... and ting has to point to somewhere (actually nowhere) and asked him "eh.... do u think that the top is nice?? (when in fact, it is not nice!)... and vin replied..."mmm... not nice"....and HE WANTED TO WALK AWAY ALREADY!!!!

jiu ming ahx..... nvm la.... after much hinting and stuff, he finally saw me... and i think that's when the whole trick was being exposed.....

anyway, went to have dinner and finally kbox!

as for kin, managed to make him believe that the bday celeb was only meant for vin.. until... fung xin came in with a bday cake.... heheh.....that's when he 恍然大悟....

anyway, enough of the boring narration..... and now it is photos time! =)

hahah... guess who are the couples???

and this shows who are the real couples....

at the restaurant... without aunty merry...

the aunties!!! aunty janey...aunty merry.... aunty blur blur....

having fun!!! =)

we are having fun tooo! =)

happy birthday to yous!

一人一半，感情不散。。。。。。=）

wishing........

blowing.....

cutting!

with their loved ones... =)

and their friends!!!! =)

testing testing testing.....the timer! =)

done! timer set! group photo taken! =p....

i think this photo is nice.... looks quite vibrant... is that the right word???haha...

hahah... the gals!!! =p.....

mmmmm.... i think we didnt celebrate ah yuan's and ah wei's bday this year.... cos ah yuan is lost in norway and that stupid ah wei is choosing to act dao and mia.... okie... i think i quite miss ah yuan....

Audit....

2008-10-20T07:34:00.000-07:00

okie... im back in wheelock again... now as a G1 instead of a G2... mmmm... went in with michael again....

omg....

haha... i think the good thing when im on job with him is.... i will tend to spend less...cos we have to skip dinner..... he always bring his bread with him for dinnner....

mmm... then the bad thing when im on job with him is... i will have to skip dinner with him too! that's makes me super hungry when i reach home and i will find food to eat...and i will grow fat..cos i eat late at nite... ....

mmm... when i went in today, felt that he is abit different as compared to that time when we went in last year... felt that he is less happy i think....

mmmm.... will i become like that in a year time??????

i think audit has the ability of making ppl's life miserable...

firstly, i think you need to work till late at nite... which will make ppl's mood super terrible...

secondly, i think you have to either think of ways to arrow others when u got arrow or to try to resolve that 'arrow' being shot to you....

thirdly, you have to entertain nasty client when in fact you are in a super bad mood...

finally, you have to motivate your juniors when you are super demotivated....

so what's makes ppl stay in audit????

i think u really have to love audit alot....

posted on 19 October 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okie... i think i just discouraged a friend from joining audit after he read my posts.. hahah...

actually... i think whether you enjoyed audit also depends on ur colleagues... as well as ur client and finally your seniors....

for me... i think my clients are good, colleagues are superb and finally seniors are marvellous... so as of now... i still like audit,... hahaha...

East Shore Hospital

2008-10-08T10:18:00.001-07:00

went to east shore hospital after work to visit my ah ma...

when i reached there, i felt quite useless... she was there lying down and no matter how i shouted her... she didnt wake up...

in my eyes, my grandma is a very strong lady...in the past, whenever she got warded into the hospital, and how serious was her condition, she will always manage to be discharged and be healthy again...

she got warded into TTSH in may... due to brain tumour... acced her on fri nights...stayed over with her till the next day... chatted with her... understand more of her past and how she love her kids...

my family member always told me that she can stay in hospital alone... but there's a incident which i beg to differ...

when i wanted to leave the next day, even though she say very strongly...

"okie okie... you go you go... i can stay here alone"

i know that she wants someone to stay with her....

because she turn her back on me when she told me to leave... think she dun wan to see me leave...

so i stayed on....

after a while... she turned and saw me... she smiled and said... i tot you left...

after a few fridays, i went to china......

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i came back 1 day earlier from china when my mum told me my ah ma has been unconscious for the past few days...

when i was back, she was awake already.... didnt slept the whole nite....

ended up chatting with her.... know more of her past......

went home early the next day, when the maid has reached.... because of the serious lack of slp... went straight to hos when we landed in singapore... stayed over in the hospital for a night...

and i started takeda.....

didnt go and visit her at home....

and she got warded again....

and i went there only once....

and then PK....

didnt go this time.....

and then tronic

didnt go and visit her again......

visited her once again.... after she went for her tumour removal surgery

unconscious ever since....

and now............

unconscious again....

the time when she was telling me that she will live till 99 years old seems a few days ago... however, why is it that she is lying on the bed unconsciously???????

please dont take her away.................................

welcome nite!

2008-10-04T12:46:00.000-07:00

KPMG has a welcome night for those who joined KPMG during the year every year.

I think for the past 3 years, it has been held in Zouk.

Don't really felt like going this year actually. Firstly because not many G1s went and secondly, i wasn't feeling well. Have slight flu and slight sorethroat. Therefore, definitely don't wish to worsen my condition by dunking more alcohol.

I drank 1 beer and 1 tequila shots before resting down at one side and trying to act like I'm not present.

Time passes…. And finally

9.45pm. Yesh! That’s the time Hui San & I planned to leave and just nice Lynn came and find us.

mmm… I don't really remembered what happened. In the end, the seniors were toasting us in the end. I was stuck there, drinking those alcohol... mmm... actually quite enjoyed the feeling of dunking alcohol...hahah... quite fun in some sense... but the after effects are enjoyable at all..

but anyway, I think i ended up drinking 1 more beer, 2 more shots and 2 more vokka oranges.

and yesh.. after don't know was it the shots or the vokka orange, we finally managed to sneak off.

off to the toilet actually, lynn was inside the toilet for quite some time. Despite her umpteen times asking us to leave and she saying that she is perfectly alright, I still think that she is not alright. So the two of us stayed and accompanied us. Waited till she is out from the toilet while ferris and sharon went off first.

Went outside to try to catch a taxi. And guess what! We waited for like half hour? There is no taxi at all…

Omg manx…

Anyway, after some time, lynn finally got into a taxi… lynn first and then hui san & I.

Though I looked perfectly alright, I think my insides are turning.. dunno how to get rid of the alcohol inside my stomach. Woke up at 5 plus thinking of how to get rid of them. Feeling terrible.

Woke up the next morning. Feeling not much better as compared to 5 plus last nite. Irriting feeling

Okie… so the conclusion is firstly, don't drink when u are sick and secondly, don't drink beyond your limits and thirdly, don't mix.

and please stop me if I told you im going to a welcome nite in zouk next year.

time for another new song!

2008-10-02T06:26:00.001-07:00

mmmm... cant think of a new song to put up leix.... how how how ????

okie... i shall put a song that im recently addicted to... =)

对不起刚才我是不是听错
还是我想太多想到了昏头
天气不错开了窗吹走脸红
进一步退一步都害怕打破
更不想在原地永远做朋友
给你线索也给我勇敢借口
下定决心沉默就让沉默为我们追究
你和我这一刻不想到而交流
却突然震耳欲聋

一字一句一瞬间走了火
一天一点一转眼入了魔
忘了我从什么时候
忘了你为什么能够让我一步一步走火入魔

一直猜一直想一直揣摩一直到你变成甜蜜的心痛
如果可以把如果变成结果
下定决心执着就让执着为我们突破
我和你的小说这时候出现烟火让情节充满感动

一字一句一瞬间走了火
一天一点一转眼入了魔
忘了我从什么时候
忘了你为什么能够让我一步一步走火入魔

一字一句一瞬间走了火
一天一点一转眼入了魔
如果你有相同感受感受到有一种突然的冲动
放肆一次走火入魔

nice lyrics i think... u think ?

blog

2008-09-19T12:28:00.000-07:00

mmmm... have been wondering what is the purpose of a blog?

to voice out your comments or to keep track of your tots?

mmm... i should think both... however, i think once you made this blog public... ppl wun tend to write private tots in their blog unless they wan their tots to be known...

mmm... im not sure whether i wan my tots to be known.. but just wrote the following entry...

lost
my msn nick was "lost... light" please for a few days...

ironically, it is not love life... people will be concerned on what am i lost... some will ask me whether is it love life and some will ask me whether is it work?

i think 3 asked... and 2 commented whether is it love life and 1 didnt comment only asked whether im alright...

actually im alright.. dun worry...

it is just that for one instance.. or maybe for a few instances and a few days... i was quite lost at work... not sure whether audit is the right path for me... not sure whether i really love doing auditing.... mm.. though there are a few days that im sure that audit is not the right path for me, im not sure what is the job that is right for me...

that's what im lost abt...

mmm... as for love life... i dun think im lost... i don't wished to think anymore and i don't wished to be confused anymore... nature will take its own course and finally everything will turn out well... i don't mislead people and i don't like to be mislead too.. so if i really show that i care for you, that means i like you... simple... mm...

okie... I think someday later, I will know whether I'm being mislead... someday, it will be no string attached I think... when I know it's not worth me waiting..

First week of september.....

2008-09-13T10:03:00.000-07:00

okie... let me summarise my bday week....

Basically, i was quite lucky to be under training during my bday week... hee... but then... training also means i need to go back to office to clear some outstanding stuff too...

Monday 01/09/2008
training... went back after training to clear takeda's and celestica's queries... not much for celestica though... most of them are takeda's...

Tuesday....02/09/2008
mmmm... went back office again! to try to clear a few of celestica's and takeda's queries... but then didnt stay till abt 9 plus like that only...

okie... so judging by the time i finish work these two days... i think maybe i can go home early the next 3 days! hee...yeah... looking forward to wednesday, thursday and friday!

Wednesday 03/09/2008
celebrated my bday with my uni friends during lunch time... hee... the restaurant was quite nice i think.... sherlynn.. thank you for organising!

okie... traininng ended at 5.... yeah... looking forward to dinner time!!! but then micheal called.... he asked me to go back and help to clear celestica's queries..... =(...... okie.. nvm... think wun clear till very late...... so..... went back and started clearing....

seems that the queries are nv ending.......=(........... from 5 clear till 6... from 6 clear till 7... and from 7 clear till 8.... then from 8 clear till 9..... and from 9 till 10... and finally... at 1045.... shirley told us we can go home.....

but then.. nvm la... even though i can only leave at 9pm... its okie ba... since the person whom i am suppose to meet cant go as well.. haha.. so we are both stucked in the office... but come to think of it, luckily i was being called back.. else i will be waiting for him while he is still stuck in the office... if that was the case, i think i will be sadder than im being called back........

okie... good thing is i reached home before 12... or maybe just when the clock strike 12...

Thursday 04/09/2008
my bday.... hee... my colleagues celebrated for me... we went to sushi tei... forgot to take pix in sushi tei.... but then i got a very nice bday cake from awfully chocolate...

keppel bay was quite beautiful towards the evening... but not very fantastic... cos hor.. there are alot of constructions lei actually... so it sort of destroy the scenery... at first i tot it will be a nice n secluded area.... it wasnt actually.... zhen shi de.....

童话。。。。。 by 光良。。。。。

dunno why... no matter how many times i listen to this song right... it will always managed to touch my heart.... always always had that feeling....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
忘了有多久再没听到你
对我说你最爱的故事
我想了很久我开始慌了
是不是我又做错了什么
你哭着对我说童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂从你说爱我以后
我的天空星星都亮了
我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
你哭着对我说童话里都是骗人的
我不可能是你的王子
也许你不会懂从你说爱我以后
我的天空星星都亮了
我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
我要变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
我会变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手变成翅膀守护你
你要相信相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局
喔
一起写我们的结局

melaka trip!

2008-08-24T08:05:00.000-07:00

we have been discussing abt having a overseas G1 trip... however... it just kept postponing from maybe june to july and then july to august

and finally after much discussion, we decided to fix a date and not change it anymore!

so we went for a 2 days 1 nite trip to melaka on the 23rd of august...

and 8 out of 15 managed to make it....

though slightly more than half of us can make it, it was a relatively successful trip...

i think we all had fun..... at least i did,.... and i enjoy myself immersely.... =)...

here goes what happened for the 2 days 1 nite....

okie... we meet 7.30 am at lavender mrt station.... we are suppose to walk for abt 10 mins to the place where we are suppose to take the bus to melaka... however, when we stepped out of lavender mrt station... it was raining heavily.... damn damn heavy manx.... however, the rain makes the bus trip super comfy... hahah.... nice to slp... i think all of us was fast aslp when the bus was in motion.....

while waiting for the bus to start....photo taking! =)

while waiting for our turn at the custom... damn long queue lo... omg

finally after half a day of ride... i think we only reached melaka at abt 1 plus 2 like that???!!?!? omg.... by the time we reached there, all of us are damn hungry liao...... we cant wait to start our eating spree! (haha.. according to emily, we are suppose to eat and eat and eat in melaka, there are lotsa stuff to eat over there.. hahah)

so here goes... the photos of our eating spree and shopping ard... =)

our first stop!!! the chicken rice ballss.......

while waiting for our turn.....

hahah... dunno what is that emily doing manx...

our dishes for that stop.... chicken rice... chicken....chicken rice ball (chicken rice used to serve in the form of balls in the past...=)) and cabbages....

our second stop!!!

and now... mee siam,... haha... we were too full... so we order 1 plate of meesiam to be shared among the 8 of us... haha... omg right...

followed by chendol....nice nice nice!!!! really nice....

okie... finally after all the eating and eating and eating... we decided to go for a stroll and act like tourist and visit all the tourist attractions....

here goes....

the fountain in front of the Stadthuys a.k.a. red square in melaka...

i think the below link will say sth abt its history....

hahha... any idea what's this pix abt?? haha... actually wanted to take a photo of emily and her bf holding hands de... but then... always cant catch the two of them in action... hee... actually... felt that it was quite sweet to see them holding hands... felt that holding hands is a simple yet an amazing action.... mmm....it can bring 2 people closer..be it the physical distance or the virtual distance and it gives a sense of security to the girl...hee... i love to hold hand!!

and now the jonker street!!! full of ppl isnt it???

okie... any idea what am i doing??????? guess guess guess....

fate

2008-08-17T10:27:00.000-07:00

i have been wondering this question....

for two people to be together... 是靠缘分还是人为呢？？？

我以前认为缘分只能让两个人认识但却要人为才能让他们在一起。。。。

不过。。。。。

我现在认为两个人能不能在一起，真的只能靠缘分。。。。

如果你们没缘，我想再多的“人为”也没用吧。。。。

对吗？

好吧。。。。。

就让一切随缘。。。。

cya in half year time!

2008-08-17T09:37:00.000-07:00

went to send ah yuan off on the 5th of august 2008....he will be in norway for abt half year?

reached there quite late actually cos cant finish my work on time ahx....

there's been a few seconds when i tot of not gg to send him off...

but....

the tot of not being there to send him and not only that, but also not gg to see him for the next half a year sort of scare me or worry me...

i tink so la... couldnt exactly rem what i was feeling 2 weeks ago... haha...but that idiot has safely reached norway and is enjoying his life over there....

hopefully he wun spent all his money and cant come back.... omg... i think that's wat worries us most...

okie... here comes the pix.....

bye...................................

　byebye again..... =)

while waiting

with his parents.....

Community day !

2008-08-15T10:01:00.000-07:00

KPMG has a community day once every year...

it is named make a difference day from this year onwards...

anyway, that day's itinery is to clean up the beach and to plant trees..

i think tree planting is really suitable for auditors... we killed thousands of trees a day lo...

everything must be printed in single sized paper and all information must be shreded...

mm... but then think the tree that we planted on the day might not be enough to replace the number of trees we killed everyday.... omg

anywhere, felt that it was a relatively interesting and fun day..reminds me of those sch outing where we used to have when we were in sec sch or jc.......

but the most important thing is we get to be released at 1.30pm! even though we are gg to charge 8 hours to the community day... hee... so happy...

anyway, below are a few pix...

while waiting........

while waiting 2....

and now we corner rachel... haha

lunch time !

okie... slacking in action... haha

yeah! tree planted!

a mega big group photo!

The Gift - Colin Raye

2008-08-03T08:42:00.000-07:00

mmm... was helping pauline to search for her songs for her wedding ahx....

then i chanced upon this song, decided to make it the song of August...

i think it is a smoothing and a lovely song...

mmm... actually not sure whether this song was meant to be happy or was it a sad song.. but it is definitely a love song ahx...

Winter snow is falling down, children laughing all around.
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true.
Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed
I would find some one, and baby I found you.

And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart,
you gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.

Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep
just this moment, it only time stood still.
But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray,
but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.

And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.

All I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday.
Can't find the words to say thank you for the gift.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

2008-08-02T23:57:00.000-07:00

okie.. went to catch this movie with Sher Lynn, johnny and sichao...

haha.. i must say this is quite a weird combination.. hahah.. but nevertheless, there is a first time for everything...

back to the movie, i think it was quite dissappointing for me....

nothing very spectacular.. storyline was normal only...

mmm... okie.. it was quite funny at times...

mmm... maybe this episode is just to have some 伏笔 for the next episode...

because it shows a lot of scenes on the human ostracizing hellboy and the white guy telling him abt the difference between the humans and the hellboy species and whether is it worth it to do so many things for them... sth like that la...

let me guess.. the next episode might be abt the humans thinking the hellboy is a freak and then the hell boy might end up being the bad guy for a few minutes.. then sometime changed him back to help the humans again...

haha... okie.. that's was my storyline.. we shall see whether hellboy 3 will have such storyline a not...

hahah....

bbq finally...

2008-07-28T10:19:00.000-07:00

okie... the long awaited bbq day is finally here!

the cycling before the bbq doesnt work.. because the earliest of us (kin and fung xin) only reached at 3 plus?

aunty janey and zhe yan reached at 4 plus...

vin and jessie reached at 6 plus...

aunty blur blur reached at 7 plus...

ting and ming nan reached at 10 plus....

ah yuan reached at 11 plus

finally, the finale... aunty merry reached at 12 plus....

being a long long time since we had such a gathering... we used to meet at least once a week.....overnite kboxing esp.... that was when i was in uni ( i guess that was part of the reason why my uni results sucks...) haha...

as we grow older, and when we joined the working society... we ran out of time... firstly, we need to work... then we need to spend our time with our families... next we need to spend our time with our bf/gfs... so... lesser and lesser occassion where we gather together...

anyway. the bbq was fun... i bet kin and fung xin master their skills of bbq-ing.. haha... most of our food were bbqed by them...

i was more interested in talking.. haha..okie... occassionally helping them out though...

the master cooks..

anyone has any idea what is he doing....mmm... i dun think that's the way to start a fire...

so wat are brothers for right... 要dumb一起dumb... haha.. the dumb brothers...

the part-time cooks at work...haha...

mmm..seems like 4 men is not possible to squeeze inside a 4 men tent...it's just nice for 3 women

and now... presenting to u guys group photos!! hahah...

everyone's bbq-ing in process!

the guys jumping madly.....

and they jumped again ?! it should be our turn!

hahah..seems like our group photos are always in chaos

with the runaway guy....running all the way to norway...

showing his moves....

First day of 虎跳峡 - 云南 - 中国-

2008-07-23T09:30:00.000-07:00

Okie....

we slpt at abt 12am plus 1am like that in lijiang and we need to wake up at 3.30am the next morning... know why?

hahaha....

because we want to skip the entrance fee of the 虎跳峡 ... by reaching there early in the morning (way before the entrance man/lady start working), we manage to skip it....

when we just reached...... pitch dark....

okie... slightly brighter... haha...

okie... so when the sun get up, we started the long long climb....

haha... okie... i admit it was really tiring for me.... mmmmm... it might be due to the lack of slp? it might be due to the lack of exercising? or it might be due to my super heavy bag.. it was damn heavy manx.. omg...

while i was climbing, i swore to myself, i wun climb it again! hahah... omg.. it was that tiring for me... esp the upslope...

but the scenary was definitely worth the climb man... nice scenary....

yeah start of our climb! the worse is yet to come... hahah...

mmm... dunno what river is it... 金沙江..confirmed by jian ming...

haha..captured by my sis.. a cow admiring the scenary

on our way to the top..... it was only 7.30 am like that only lo... omg... abt 5 more hours to the top!

the teeny weeny road up to the top....

shack look...okie.. maybe im the only one.. that the 代价 of not exercising consistently..

okie... the first milestone.... at 8.30am....

someone kindly provided those information for us... okie...accordingly, we need 3 hours to teahorse guest house, 5 hours to halfway guest house and 7 hours to tina's guest house.. our original plan was to tina's... and we reached that map at 8.45am... so 7 more hours to go... dun think it is possible because we still need to have our breakfast and lunch....

okie... reached the place for us to take our breakfast...

.... the infamous 28 bends in 虎跳峡... one of the bends...

okie...saw a line that cuts across the mountain? the line is the road that we will be walking in dunno how many minutes time...

yeah.. happier... hahaha.. know why? cos i exchanged bags with kester (the last one in that photo)haha... can u tell that he is the only one who looked shack now... hahah.....mmm...i have one who keeps muttering words of encouragement behind me... and the last 2 who always walks the last so that my sis and i do not lag behind...

saw another thin line at the mountain? scary isnt it... omg...

yeah! finally reached the top! u need to finish the 28 bends to reach the top! that's where the chinese saying 先苦后甜 comes in because the view is magnificant... not to say the view while we are climbing up...

yeah.. another milestone of ours..

any idea why are there so many vehicles there? because.... the tour group brought the tourists to see the 虎跳石... the stone over there is not a real one according to jian ming (will show u guys the real one later at the next entry... we will reach it!) .. anyway, that stone over there is just a stone that roll down from the mountain..ehx.. but that sound a bit scary right.. imagine such a big stone rolling down from the mountain...

wa...doesnt this photo look like a postcard photo??? click on it to enlarge it! it's nicer!

postcard photo number 2! click on it!

postcard photo number 3! click click click....

yeah... group photo number 3 = milestone no 3! at 2.45 pm...

waterfall! filling up our water bottles and enjoying the coolness of the waterfall...

the guest houses in 虎跳峡 are all with nice view... with the clear blue sky and the mountain as backdrop... it's hard not to be beautiful...

okie...im fainting...

magnificant isnt it ???

i think this pix just show again how magnificant is it...click on it click on it!!

climb and climb and climb non-stop

i think this is nice...

yeah! finally reached.. halfway guest house... not tina's.. haha..too tired....

okie... dun be envy... that's the view we get when we woke up in the morn.. how i wish i have this view every morn...

hahah..there's a 爽死你天台... okie.. it is really "爽"死你 or maybe 冷死你 cos of the cold wind that just blow non stop..omg...

cheers!! 8.25pm...

<< 赤壁 >>

2008-07-14T09:15:00.000-07:00

went to catch this movie tonite after work...

The main cast are

梁朝伟 .....周瑜
金城武 .....诸葛亮
张震 .....孙权
张丰毅 .....曹操
尤勇 .....刘备
林志玲 .....小乔
赵薇 .....孙尚香
侯勇 .....鲁肃
胡军 .....赵云
中村狮童 .....甘宁
臧金生 .....张飞
巴森扎 .....关羽

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

let me see....

i think for those who have read 三国演义 might not like this movie... im not sure...

haha.. cos i rem vin saying jessie's brother was critizing the movie like mad... saying this is not right and that is not right... understood why he would had such feeling.. cos i was critizing the director when i was watching harry porter too...

so...bless my ignorance... luckily i didnt read the book...

to to me, it was a interesting movie... worth the watch...

but then right... there is sth i must have to say abt tong leung....

not sure whether was it because i watched lust caution before (uncensored version somemore...omg... it was a terrible mistake)...

whenver i saw him, i will think of lust caution... and those scene with 林志玲 just makes me wonder why must he always have this kind of scene... omg...really... like the stomach scene and the bed scene.... dunno the meaning of those scenes... zhen shi de....

aiya..actually i dun really like him liao... hahaha... omg...

anyway, mot to mention him... others were quite okie.....

but right the scenary was damn nice... hahaha... my next few targets! ahah..=)...

kept asking kin where is the movie taken?

okie... after searching online... i discovered the following information

赤壁本来不是一个地名，只不过是一个名词，意思是烧红了的石壁。据说当时赤壁之战发生的地方在现在的湖北省蒲圻县。如今三国赤壁古战场已经被列入国家级重点文物保护单位，其中古迹众多，还有岛屿棋布的陆水湖风景区。

因此吴宇森导演选择了在河北易县大兴土木，重建赤壁现场。吴宇森曾表示：“我们除了考虑真实性，还要考虑到剧组人员的安全以及环保问题。我们在赤壁看景后，发现那里水流湍急，危险性很高，而且搭建曹营等外景也不利于长江流域的环保。”河北易县环保局负责人表示，剧组在水库搭建外景符合双方约定，不会造成环境污染，而且“曹营水寨”以后还将被保存下来，成为风景区新景。

this is the map of china...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha... found some 歇后语 in connection to this book...

刘备借荆州——有借无还
张飞穿针——大眼瞪小眼

丽江 - 云南省 - 中国

2008-07-12T09:52:00.000-07:00

okie... after the overnight bus ride, we finally reached 丽江 early in the morning... at abt 4am in the morning... the bus driver said we can slp in the bus until the sun is out

kelvin suggested going down to catch the sunrise.... jianming went down with him.....

a few minutes later.................

both of them came back shivering like mad....

okie...maybe only kelvin... jianming seems stronger... hahah

my sis and i ignored them and continued slping......

finally reached 丽江....

okie... let me see... our itinery for the day...

went to 拉市海 in the noon and 束河古城 after that

below are a few photos for 拉市海

went for horse-riding.... i think it was fun.... and learnt a few tips abt horse-riding from the "tour guide"

we on our respective horses

the vegetation that we passed by on our horses... according to my guide, they plant mostly corn and fruits..because vegetables are too tedious and the harvest is not as good as compared to corn

scenary.... i suggest you expand the photos (click on them) for all the scenary photos in order to see how beautiful the scenary is ..

scenary..... nice....

posing... posing.... posing! =)

nice view of the town....

拉市海。。 it is actually a 构造湖.. and what is a 构造湖... it is actually a dent in the earth cust.. and due to the underground water and raining.. which leads to an accumulation of water... this becomes 拉市海.. so it is not an ocean/sea but a lake... nice

my sis and i!

i was looking through the photos when i noticed a similarities.... pointing fingers towards the "dunno where" with back facing the camera... dun understand the 意义 of this position.. ahaha...mmm... or is it a common position only understood by guys????

another nice photo of 拉市海

our 马夫 and us...

a collage of 拉市海 itself...

"rowing away diligently" and eating away diligently.. ehx.. actually only one person is rowing the boat....=P... guess who is it????

okie... my sister suggested we somersault infront of the camera... so we started somersault and i think we looked like idiots... flipping in the middle of the grassland... omg.... so far.. that was considered the best pix that we have taken... omg....

haha... look at the photo... that was taken while we were busy somersaulting... mmm... or am i the only one who was busy somersaulting instead????omg..

a collage of 束河古镇....

okie... .that was the itinery for the day....

now... some photos of 丽江古镇....

a collage of 丽江古镇... i think it is considered very much commercialized right now as compared to 香格里拉's.... but ironically? it is also the nicest out of 古镇s that i went to

finally... a collage of our group photos... ehx... realised that we only had a photo of our meal? because we only took a meal... that was the breakfast... throughout the day... we didnt eat much... haha.. kelvin and jianming was stuff to death manx... omg

昆明 - 云南省 - 中国

2008-07-07T07:52:00.000-07:00

okie.... we went to guangzhou after xiamen.. stayed there for 1 day and took a 25 hours sleeper train to kunming.....

the hostel we stayed in guangzhou.... 200RMB for 4 pax... relatively cheap right? yeah...

taking the train to kunming....

the train photo... photo 1

the train photo.... the beds....

okie... out of the 25 hours, we are awake for about 10 hours??? hahah... out of which, we were eating... chatting... reading.... and occassionally falling aslp yet again.... omg... that train ride is only good at making ppl slp and slp....

okie.... finally after 25 hours of dunno torture or heaven, we finally reached kunming....

spent one day in 昆明 and we travel to 丽江 at nite.... just lotsa of travelling spent in buses and trains i think

anyway, that day in 昆明 was spent gg to the 云南民族村 which is a gathering of the 26 民族 in 云南 and also a miniture of the attractions of the states where the 民族 are.. i think a relatively interesting places.. but right... it can be a tourist trap too... just dun pay extra money other than the shows put up by the ppl...

i must say the culture of those 民族 is one of the attractions in 云南... all the cultures have their own festival and their beliefs.... i love 藏族most after visiting 香格里拉... cos i think their cultural is more 浓厚？or maybe cos i interacted with 藏族 more during this trip...

anyway, below are some photos taken in 云南民族村

a miniature of dali's pagoda ... dunno the real name...

group photo 1

a consolidation of the grp photos we took in that 村

random pixxie of the photos we took in that 村

okie... 1 last pix... rem this place... they took u to a room where they get u some tea... then told u it is one of the 18怪 in 云南 which is 石头当茶买 ... there is no such thing ahx... only got the 石头长在云天外... omg... u see... the 18怪 can also use to cheat ppl... zhen shi de...

anyway, below is the website for the 18怪

http://baike.baidu.com/view/2335.htm

enjoy!

厦门 - 福建 - 中国

2008-07-07T07:15:00.000-07:00

okie... as mentioned in the earlier post....

xiamen was my first stop.... it was not a wise choice to make this the first stop... or maybe even to stop at this place for this trip... however, since my mother told my 叔公 that we are gg there even way before we planned for this trip, we have to go ahx...

but luckily we went.... get to know more abt 叔公 and get to know more abt my grandma and grandpa when they were younger.....

厦门 is quite a nice place... not very fast pace with not a lot of ppl... a city that is not very developed

my 叔公 brought us to a few places... like 鼓浪屿 - a city of pianos a pity we didnt get to the top where u will get a see xiamen from there cos it was raining heavily... and we have to miss it....

i think the main purpose of this trip to xiamen was to visit my shugong rather than visiting the attractions over there.... therefore, i think i can say my objective was met cos we did have a good chat with him....

=)

Photos taken there....

we stayed at my shu gong's house throughout our trip there.... something to mention was that even though his house was old, it was designed and built by my shu gong

my shu gong's house...

in the wet market in xiamen... interesting out-of-itinery attraction.. hahah

with shu gong and his younger son and family

with 叔公 and 叔母

on the sleeper bus from xiamen to guangzhou... interesting... nv realised china got such buses... no seats at all man! ... only beds... according to someone, it used to be double bed than single bed and no matter who u get beside u, u have to bear with it... omg manx...scary right...

China trip

2008-07-07T05:56:00.000-07:00

wa.... i think 1 entry is not enough for this whole china trip......

our itinery was as follows

厦门 --〉广州　－－〉昆明　－－〉丽江　－－〉香格里拉　－－〉丽江　——〉昆明　－－〉广州

all in all.... i must say that the china trip is very interesting....

each backpacking trip only makes me love backpacking more and more and prefer backpacking as compared to following tours....

=P....

some of the groups photos...

in xiamen

at 虎跳峡 @丽江

in 白水台....on the way to 香格里拉

to 德庆 in 香格里拉

小木马

2008-06-05T07:57:00.001-07:00

LALALA LALALA LALALALALA
LALALA LALALA LA……
*repeat*
整理旧照片泛黄的笑脸
记忆不断涌现湿热我的脸
铺木的街道无忧的年少
外婆的歌轻轻地飘过夏天的那座桥
找不到斑白的头发和微笑
想回到外婆她温暖慈祥的怀抱
小木马轻轻地摇啊摇带我回外婆桥
小时候斑驳的红瓦砖墙早已倾倒
小木马轻轻地摇啊摇外婆不曾变老
依旧哼着熟悉的歌谣
*repeat*
小木马轻轻地摇啊摇带我回外婆桥
长大后老田里红色蜻蜓再也看不到
小木马轻轻地摇啊摇外婆不曾变老
我好想念她唱的歌谣

put this song as my june song because firstly, for my 2 grandmothers.... and secondly i think this is a nice song by jeff chang...

then my mother told my ah ma that her neighbour got problem hearing.... my ah ma paused a while and said 我的耳朵很灵 in hokkien ...

haaha... she ahx..

i think she is really okie... i just pray tht the tumour in her head wun do a weird things and harm her... please dont...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sometimes i really dont understand.. why must cancer only comes when a person is of old age... my ah gong also died of cancer... i think he will be able to live a few more years if not for the lymphatic cancer... he cant survive the chemotherapy which kills not only the cancerous cells but also his normal cells too....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my ah ma incident makes me think of a lot of things....

she makes me realised that i dont want to have only 1 child.. but more than 1.. in fact, 3 will be better... because it is really taxing if you dont have any siblings to help u when ur parents falls ill....it will be good if 1 is a guy.....

if not for all my relatives who took turn to acc my ah ma, i think she wun recover so fast...

she makes me wonder whether i really wants to continue audit... im really glad that im not in wheelock or any jobs that i have to work late right now or when my ah gong passed away.. imagine if im on those jobs, i'm not sure whether i will be able to acc her or to watch over my ah gong for his last few nites...

starts to wonder whether i should take up like maybe childcare teacher? hahah.. where the working hours is not that long and the responsibility is not that big....

haix....

prawn prawn... here i come

2008-05-17T09:12:00.000-07:00

went to celebrate merry's bday today at farmart!

haha... went prawn 'fishing'!

i think it has been a long time since we went for this type of 'interesting' outdoor activity.... haha.. (actually was abit excited this morn... have a feeling that i havent been feeling very long..hahah...mmm... like when during sec sch... we will usually go to east coast park la... this sort of feelings...)

anyway, it was really a very interesting experience actually... a good place for prawn catching... good environment.. though the weather is hot, it is windy today..i think due to the location... it is located relatively high... so nth is blocking the wind from coming!

mmm... it is $13 per hour..but u get an hour free for 2 hours continuously.. and also... if u felt that 3 hours is too much.. they will indicate how many hours u have left... and u can go back next time with the receipt and continue again ! but then.. u need to get a mininum of an hour before u can redeem...

now..the fun part... haha... okie.. the results....
in order of number of prawns
sk and fung xin : 6 prawns
me, mer & ah wei: 5 prawns
ming nan & ting: 1 prawn
jessie & vin: 1 prawn
janey & zhe yan: no prawn!

heee........ mmm... okie...i think mininum 1 prawn for 3 hours ba...as for janey and zhe yan...maybe the problem lies with the baiting..cos i heard them saying the prawns always ran away with their bait... omg....

hee.... okie... so our total catch is 13! hee... but then i think we ate a total more than 33 prawns!!! hee... cos right.... there are some people who managed to catch ALOT of prawns!!! and i think they have too much prawns and they gave them to us!!! hee.. yippie.....

eating live prawns is really different... they are really fresh and cruchcy..nice nice! but then... the process of washing them, pulling out their huge thongs and bbq-ing them is quite sinful..cos watching them die...omg....

hee...okie... let's not talk abt those scary parts....

and now photo time!

'fun shots!'

shots shots shots

hee... then hor... i took some video...so here u go!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jaknuXhzik

mmm... right now only has 1 videos... ..others are still uploading in progress.... but guess by the time u guys read my blog (like 1 day later) the videos are available! yeah ... enjoy~!

2008-05-10T09:45:00.000-07:00

went to meet the WAT friends today...

in the midst of the gathering, pauline and danny announced that they are GETTING MARRIED!!!!

wa... their wedding dinner is going to be my first wedding dinner with my friends... hahaha...excited....

mmm... but the couples doesnt seems excited.. maybe they expected it already...but then i think when the date is nearing or when they start preparing, they will become more excited...haha...cos even the 旁观者 like me n sher lynn are more excited than them... hahaha

hahah.. wondering who will be the next one to get married??! sk? barry??? hahah.. sher lynnn!!!

okie.... definitely not me! first let me find someone who can make me settle down first...

oh ya! we all were toking abt the tax relief and all the benefits related to child... hahaha

pauline was saying that if we got children before 28 then can enjoy all the tax benefits la and all those related to the number of children we have... hahaha... okie.. i went to search online... it didnt indicate la... but then!! there are really a lot of goodies related to giving birth lo.... they are encouraging.. the more the merrier... so the goodies extended to up to 4 children! omg....

http://app.mcys.gov.sg/web/corp_press_story.asp?szMod=corp&szSubMod=press&qid=453

above is the website that says ALL the benefits related to giving birth... it is very obvious that the government is trying very hard to encourage birth! =P..... so jia you ba ladies....

genting....

2008-05-04T06:39:00.000-07:00

hahah...straight after i pulled out from artivision, i went to genting with my grandma and my aunt....

long overnight bus trip...

omg... my grandma went to the casino straight after we took our breakfast....okie... and she stayed there throughout the whole day... occasionally came out to have her meals.... then... stayed there the next day too!!! omg...

mmm... as for me and my aunt... we went to shop ard... occassionally went in to acc-ed my grandma and sat there and look at her gambling....

ohx ya... went to watch iron man too! (hee..sorry merry).... iron man really nice movie manx....
really worth watching...........mmm... merry if u wanna watch, i dun mind watching it again!

photos time!!!!

okie... i did a very stupid thing by bringing only shorts there... u saw my top?i wear a jacket over my long sleeve manx... omg.... it was damn cold... forgot im gg genting...

yeah!!! i love jet li!!!

my grandma (mother side...) =)

my aunt and my grandma

Artivision

2008-05-04T06:26:00.000-07:00

finally pulled out from artivision... i think artivision is the client whereby i stayed the longest.....

2 months if im not wrong...

wheelock is the next one on the list... 1 1/2 months....

mmmm.... quite missed the client actually... i think out of all my clients, artivision is the nicest..hee...,mmm... maybe cos i think i only have to deal with a person (the one doing the finance) and another person( the one doing the inventory)...

the guy doing the finance is an old man...mmm... felt a bit guilty when i did raised my voice a little bit when i was auditing the accounts... mm... cos he is quite stubborn also...

but nevertheless, he is very helpful...

haix... but no matter what, we are still auditors... think even though we chatted and im quite close with everyone in the company (it is quite a small company), i think they still dont want me to stay there too long... =(....

but that's auditor's life....

luckily the client is nice cos im quite stress over there... because im the only one in that client place... i think this was the only client whom i dreamt of during my sleep... omg....

think didnt really get to have a good slp towards the end... thinking of all the debits and credits.... and what needs to be done and what are outstanding... omg....

but yes... it is finally over....

thank god...

my brother

2008-05-01T08:28:00.000-07:00

hahaha... i have a funny brother....

mmm... he looks like he is not scared of anything!

always trying to put up a brave front...

but in fact, he is very very very scared of ghost.... and he made it known....

hahah.....

he wanted to go genting with us.... and he started asking his friend (jia jun) to join him

so i asked him

"你叫家俊做什么？？？ !!"

he replied very agitatedly :
"你们都是女的。我自己一个人睡。。云顶这么多鬼！！！你要我给鬼吓死啊？？？~！！！！"

hahhah... believe me.. he sounded very very serious....

hahaha.... 笑死我.... knew all along he is afraid of ghost... ahaha... but dunno it is to that extent manx....

okie... decided to change a new song in my blog every month....

have been thinking what song to place...

finally decided...

明天过后 by 吴克群

i think this is a very typical love song which almost all the gals wish that her bf would sing it to her.... haha at least i am one of those.. =P

anyway, i used to love this song alot alot....

but there's a time when i dont dare to hear this song....

right now.... i think it's time for me to get over... so it shall be the song of my blog for the month of may... the month when i leave for alaska....

yesh... time to get over....

anyway, here's the lyrics.... a nice song i tink....

你问我明天过后会如何
世界若毁灭我们又怎么了
我笑了电影情节太唬人
只有单纯的你相信着
你问我明天过后会如何
冰天雪地里我们怎么活着
我笑了笑你太傻又太笨
但自己心中却决定了
我相信抱着
你的手就温暖了
睡着或醒着
我的手为你加温
就算明天崩塌又如何
我们手握着
外面天再冷
全都由我负责
你问我明天过后会如何
冰天雪地里我们怎么活着
我笑了笑你太傻又太笨
但自己心中却决定了
我相信抱着
你的手就温暖了
睡着或醒着
我的手为你加温
就算明天崩塌又如何
我们手握着
外面天再冷
全都由我负责
也许我有时太傻太呆又太闷
甜言蜜语不是我的风格
但请相信
真心从来不会少一分
多嘴的人
恋爱从不会认真
我相信抱着
你的手就温暖了
睡着或醒着
我的手为你加温
就算明天崩塌又如何
我们手握着
外面天再冷
全都由我负责
这世界再冷
你的心不会冷

unpredictable......

2008-04-24T10:00:00.001-07:00

i think life is really very very unpredictable....

i have a colleagues whose brother just passed away.... i think his brother is at most 1 or 2 years older or younger than me....so that makes him in his early twenties... he only spent less than 1 quarter of his life.....

i really dunno how my colleague is gg to face it man... i cant imagine....

realised that life is so vunerable... he might be talking to you and the next minute he might be gone from the world and not back anymore...

scary....

i think the first time i faced death, the first time someone close to me passed away was about 3 years ago. when my grandpa passed away... it was a very very unexpected death.... no one expected it.... and i dont think i faced it very well..

in fact, i sort of dun wan to face his death, to the extent that i have this thinking that he just went overseas and he will come back... sometimes when i went to my grandma house i still have the thought that he will just come out from the bathroom or bedroom any minute...

but then.... he will come not back anymore... wun chat with us anymore....

so dear friends... it's time to give your loved ones a big hug and tell them u love them...mmm... if u cant say u love them, just do something that shows that u treasure them

treasure those beside you, u wont know when they will be gone from this world...

JP Morgan chase!!!!

2008-04-24T09:42:00.000-07:00

unbelievable manx... i actually completed this 5.6km run.... omg

it was a damn damn damn shag run.....

been a long time since i ran that long....

i think i started walking at abt 1plus km only????

ran and walk ran and walk ran and walk

haha.. i told zz, yiqian n lynn... okie... i wan to ran till i ache the next day at least...

YES! I DID!!!

im now aching all over.... from top to bottom............................................

(but i like the feel of aching... hahaha.... i like sweating too..... shuang...)

the one who acced me walked... hahaha...

P.S. i think he walked me than me... wahahaha....

yeah... in office...preparing for the run!
mmm.... lack of 1 person... lynn met us at padang instead..

alone

2008-04-21T10:00:00.000-07:00

for last week, this week and next week, i was, am and will be alone in my current company...

let me see..... i think rite, this is the first time i'm alone in a company... most of the time, at least one G1 will be with me....

mmmm... sometimes i like being alone in a client place... i dont have any restrictions......

but then..... i dun have anyone to ask when i needed help... and i think it is more stressful when u are alone....

in the past, when wei boon was here... haha.. whenever client asked anything, i just look at him (wei boon).... and...... o cos he will automatically answer all the questions.....

but now... i have to go tackle them alone.... but nevertheless.... there is first time for everything.....

when i was looking through my senior's queries for the latest file (it is a 3 years audit.... so we have 4 files... 31 March 2005, 31 March 2006, 31 March 2007, and finally 31 March 2008)... and i suddenly felt quite tired just now... there was no one there except me....... at abt 11 plus..... hahaha...mmm.. im quite brave, aint' i... to stay there till 11 plus....alone somemore....

okie... can tell that u all dunno what is the main point in this blog... hahha....

nvm... i also dunno.....

wondering whether i will be able to stay 3 years in this line.....

i wan to and i hope to.....

anyway, waiting for my hair to dry........... with a big fan blowing behind me........

forbidden kingdom!

2008-04-20T05:24:00.000-07:00

it was damn damn hilarous manx.... cant stop laughing

other than it being damn hilarous, i love the fighting scenes o cos... haha... mmm... preferred it when jet li is fighting.. whahhaha....

mmm.... let me see....

okie... i shall comment on this... one thing that's super weird abt this show is that... u will be able to see the 玉皇大帝 speaking in english, with the 孙悟空 and the other knight answering in english....

weird weird weird...

im sure if this film were to be filmed in chinese, it will be much much better...

but nevertheless, it is still worth the watch... the combination of jet li and jackie already outweigh everything...

=p

photo-taking... what else! =P....

took us lotsa of courage to pose there with ppl walking past us... haha... not to mention to ask ppl to take it for us... haha

With my STM, will i forgot u all?

2008-04-08T08:16:00.001-07:00

My STM is getting from bad to worse.... nope.. not worse... it is almost beyond hope.... omg!

mmm... think a book that is abt...

abt-

a lady who wrote down in her diary the 点点滴滴 of she and her husband.... she passed the diary to her husband saying....

:"if one day, i were to lose my memory, can you read my diary for me?"

okie.... inspired by her...i shall start writing my diary.......

a diary from young......

My childhood - preschool
i was borned in 1985 in a small little kampong house.... my daddy is Ong Wee Teng and my mummy is Sia Giok Lian....

i remembered that the little kampong house is situated behind the muslim cemetery...

the car need to turn in thru the entrance of the cemetry... and then ... turn left??? and i forgot liao...

my kampong house has a very big garden of trees... what is remembered most was the durian trees... dangerous to walk below them cos u dunno when one durian will fall down and make u shorter!

it has a lot of chickens and chicks too... i think one of the hens ran after me cos i 'bullied' the chicks....

mmm... there are a lot of snakes too.... i think ah gong is an expert in catching snakes... but then... he let them go after catching them....

i remember my ah ma will piggy back me using some cloth (not sure how was it tied) and carried me ard into the farms.....

and i remembered i had to stand beside my sis (Ong Ying Yu) who was inside a wooden chair (that wooden chair is amazing... one side, it will be able to act as a chair, the other side, it will be able to act as something for the child to sit)

my dad used to jog at nite too... late at nite... then we will stand at the door and wait for him to jog back...mmm... i think my dad used to be in a good shape then... whahha

i remembered the times when my dad just started the farm... there are hills and hills of soils and sands... where we can run on it...

4 years of childhood in kampongs....

then we moved to HDB.... no more kampongs... that's when my little brother (Ong Ying Jie) is borned... borned the same day as my sis....

the first day we moved into the HDB, my sis and i were in a room... i cant slp.... because i am scared.... soooooo..... i stationed myself beside my parent's bed and decided to watch them slp.... in the middle of the nite, my dad woke up and saw me sitting there.. omg.. i think he had the scare of his life... i told him i am scare... so from that day onwards, he moved to our room and accompanied the both of us..mmm... i think maybe me.. cos my sis was slping soundly on the first day....

mmm.... remembered that we stayed in our grandma house alot.... my parents will bring us there in the morning and bring us back at nite...

my 'evil' aunt sometimes will put fake two human heads (cos i have another aunt who is a hairdresser..so she has some human heads for her to style) beside the bed so that we will guai guai go slp in the afternoon...omg.. u see how scary is it that i still remember after sooooo many years....

my grandma is in charge of taking care of my sis n i... bringing us to the childcare... and bringing us back.... she is in charge of our recreation as well...bringing us to swimming pools.....

according to my mum, every nite, i will 吵着my parents to bring KFC home... haha.. but then i dun really eat... so my poor daddy has to finish up the KFC then i insisted to buy home....

my mother with my sis and me.... and my 2 cousins.... =)

my cousin and me!! same age out of the 31 cousins???? =)

celestica.....

2008-04-07T09:02:00.000-07:00

i went down to the client that i will be gg down in may to get a "sneak preview" of them....

ehx...the place was ulu enough... (my lunch how????... to me, lunch is the most impt factor in the client place... whahah)

okie... but client was still not bad.... helpful enough.....

so far so good...

but.... went to look thru their last year file...

saw the tons of adjustment made......

bad feeling start to set in....

mmmmm..... we shall see..... 21 more days to go before the nightmare.... omg....

okie... i think i should enjoy myself or rest super well during this april.........

commitment

2008-04-05T10:07:00.000-07:00

have been wondering........

why will couples break up???????

what are the reasons that makes them break up

hahaha... okie.... a weird thought... have been wondering this because i dun think i will initiate a break up no matter what... unless it is really beyond repair

i think maybe some reasons might be
1. in-compatibility
2. no chemistry?
3. timing not right?

i think no matter what is the reason.... i feel that what it matters was whether the person that initiate the break up tried to save the relationship before breaking up or does the person tells the other party there is a problem?

haix... i think that is what relationship is about...communication.....

mmm... so what is my title about???

i think if u have the commitment to this relationship, u will try to save the relationship before it falls apart. hee... actually that was quoted by janey when i tok abt this to her today.... that's what she felt

what i felt originally was whether the person feels like settling down? if he does, dont think he will initiate a break up that easily.....

okie... let's end this 严肃的 topic....
