i dislike pple who r OVERLY obsessed with branded stuff... if u r a rich tai tai and have too much money in banks, go ahead and splurge cos its non of my biz. however, if u r not and still wanna show off ur "wealth", hmph... tts something quite unrealistic.

i hate it when u tried to tell me stories like u wanna save money cos u have been thru hard times, yet u r buying LV stuff every mth. futhermore, u said it was only once in a bluemoon. -_-" how long is ur bluemoon? exactly 2 weeks eh? i dun understand why u keep telling me and everybody tt u r not a shopping person yet i keep seeing u with new stuff. i dunno why u always complain abt ur bf and his nasty family and yet sticking with him, while having another 'intimate pal" who he has no idea at all. u always tell pple how unfortunate u r, how hard u have been thru... are those real?

u r a nice pal but i just dun trust u... hmm, tts saddening enuff. i dunno how to put all these things across to u. maybe its better for me to keep quiet inorder to keep our friendship.

i bought a new phone today. went to nokia shop in JP and i cant resist the temptation anymore. the price of 6260 did really go down by 100 bucks. i checked with the staff and they told me i can get $130 for my old phone if i trade in. tts so good compared to 100 bucks offered by hello shop. after much pestering, i also managed to get 30 bucks off the $100 surcharge for the upgrade, which is less then 21mths. i paid only $338 for that gigiantic phone.. wheee..

wats more? after i asked abt the price of additional batt, questioning the staff how come certain shops r giving an additional one for free and comparing prices between a "no plan" phone and a "contract" phone.. the staff gave up on me. he said, he will gimme the additional batt FOC! wow!! i din expect tt at all. tt batt originally cost $65. haha.. zf says im so auntie, for being so calculative. :P no loh, he was mesmerised by me! wahaha~

for dinner, i had it with the sci club lao ren at fish n co. this time round our topics over dinner have changed so much. we no longer tok abt sch work, lecturers, club activities... but instead, abt our irritating jobs, money, career, house and car. everyone's perspective of life has changed i guess, esp when most of us r out in this realistic working world. im glad tt my job is not as bad as compared to some. like wendy, shes slogging everyday until 3am for her events company and furthermore she is underpaid. due to the stress she is facing, she lost quite alot of wt. and emi was reprimanded alot of times by her superior for not knowing the chem stuff well enuff. hmm.. actually we dun learn tt in sch loh. huida and xiaohui are still searching for a job they like. hmm.. kinda sad eh? anyway, there are some good news from pearly. shes being offered training at infinity, a pharmaceutical company at boston even when she havent grad. she will be there for 1.5yrs b4 coming back to serve a bond for EDB. this just reminded me of the TAP prog for merck tt i tried to signed up last yr. yah, i wasnt successful or else i wont be here now.

yupz, gotta think ahead wat i wanna do in the next few yrs to come. to contd with my job? to further studies? to go abroad to work? ... or get a rich hubby and be taitai? seriously, i dun wan my BSc to be wasted.. i still like chem though...

just duno why.. i simply felt happy today. its a chore to wake up 6am on a sat morning to report for work. however, everything just turns out quite well today.

started off by seeing snookie at the ctrl. she was ivy's mentor on our sny to mel.. after tt went to the briefing rm tgt with my teamates. havent seen them for like 2 weeks? im glad tt today im working with them. next, we had a nice n fatherly IFS, no no no airs at all, friendly and jovial. and the world is so small, he is in cuixia's team! (cuixia = my good fren i gotta noe during interview) next, i met huiying just before i board. haha.. this online pal i have for 6 mths, seen her a few times in town, stc but never tot i will be taking over her plane today. during work, though i do forget a few little things here and there again.. everything is still alright. :P yah, except for this particular pax, who complained tt the oj (orange juice) was diluted and sacastically made a remark tt we dun have enuff oj onboard and we have to add water to it. everyone gets the same but why only he is making the noise? -_-" no choice gotta apologise to him and give him a new one. oh pls, look at his expression when he complained to me. hmmm. then after meal, he told me tt hes not feeling well, some gastric probs and he said is due to the diluted oj he had drunk! OMG!!! wat a story he can think of. hmm, being professional i have to cater to his needs, ask abt his wellbeing and offer him some medication. i guess, he just need attention SO i keep gg up to him and ask ... "are u feeling much better, sir?" haha. maybe im just too pretty and he wans to get my attention. wahaha. BHB.

and theres another incident. one pax actually fell ill, felt sharp pain in his ribcage. this is my first time encountering a case which we have to page for a medical doc lohz. something new to learn! those who r near EMK kits have to bring them down immediately regardless whether there is doc or not. also, met a pair of cute baby twins too. one is called josephine and the other is samantha.. sooo cute loh. i played with jo most of the times. *gugu gaga..* :P
touched down, met ericia n xinhui at the departure hall. i was so excited! haha.. hardly see my batch gers mah. and behind them were aine and mark, the couple who i flew to chc with. prob gg on the same flight bah. then back at ctrl.. i saw nina, did my sq12 with her.. ha. couldnt recognise her initially cos she cut a new hairstyle! so nice ah.. i met so many pple today.

back home, i saw a new monitor laying on my table. :D my dad brought it back from his office for me. woohoo~ tts why i can take my own sweet time writing my "essay". and guess wat? my bro fixed it for me leh!! so un-him. haha... thanks anyway. also, found out tt a phone on my intend-to-get mobile phones list have dropped by 100 bucks today! im so damn happy... maybe i can get it tmr yeah? hee. (since i dun have to go sim lim to fix my pc tt soon now)

btw, i had ben & jerry's ice cream again. yum yum... i love it! tell me how not to get fat? hahah..

with so many nice things happening in a day, how can mary not be happy? :) hope everyone had a happy day too.

great great.. rem i mentioned tt my screen goes pink at times? i tot it can still tahan and wait for a few mths b4 i have better ability to buy a new pc.. but *boom* it died on me today. :/

always feel handicapped whenever my pc is down cos i have to rely on my bro's. all my files and stuff are in mine and are unretrievable, how troublesome this is. anyway, i hope i can get everything fix on sun.. a little hard though cos i only have half a day to do so. money is gg to be spent again. then, how abt my phone? haha... see how bah.

tmr im taking bus to guangzhou. will be back when the sun sets.
~me~ at 11:14 PM

im exhausted now.. cos woke quite rather er.. early this morning at 9 plus when ericia sms me. :P she asked me if i wanna join her to go back stc. i'm fine with it cos im keen to visit ms foo too. tt rich ger drove me to stc... a car can bring so much of a convenience loh! hmm.. when will i get mine? *dreaming* anyway, we saw ms foo and had a little chat b4 we left, shes a bz woman u see...

i ended up with ericia and pals at orchard for lunch. its nice to meet new frens.. esp pple who r different from me cos u can study them. :P her fren lynn is super duper dramatic, who will be gg to stc for her first day tmr. shes rather panicky for the entire course. the other is a petite and beautiful one, really nice eyes she have and looks sooo much younger than her actual age. after the conversation we had, i realised ericia has many frens in our line, including her cousin. tts a nice thing bcos u can always discuss work tgt with them, and they will understand wat u really mean. for me, no relatives, no close frens in this line except for batch 836. hmm.. what exactly drove me to take up this career?

1. i wanna do something different. i dun like to follow the mainstream of uni grads who prob end up in desk bound jobs or popular among sci students, teaching. even if i ever ended up teaching in future, i would love to share with my students what i have been thru in my earlier yrs. tts my aim k!

2. i wanna fulfil my dream of visiting different parts of the world. learn abt places, pple, cultures, food.. and not forgetting the shopping trips i can have. heee.. i dun wanna be a frog trapped in a well. i need to see the world!

3. i feel i will be a different and a better person after tt. def more independant.

4. i need the money.

5. to a much lesser extent, i wanna show pple wat they think i cant be.

6. a job which i used to question esther when she was sitting beside me during sec sch days. hee..

yupz... after e reflection, i felt more firm with my current aims. anything not so nice that comes along will not disrupt them!

back in JP, i walked ard, look look see see until althea came to meet me after her driving lesson. althea althea, she always have many amazing stories to tell me. from her teachers, to her mum, to her nice, weird, crazy frens, haha. i passed her the chocolates tt im supposed to give her on vday and to my surprise, she brought me a brolly (= umbrella)! she knew tt i hate to bring one ard so she bought me one. haha.. so cute of her. thanks gal!

" Serotonin is a kind of neurotransmitter, relieves anxiety and depression in people who are stressed. When stressful scenarios are repeated over time, the amount of serotonin in the brain declines. Depression due to recurring stress is a vicious cycle, as the more we're stressed, the less serotonin we produce. However, life will never be stress-free."

as more stress sets in, situations get worse and worse. how true.

today is the 15th, last day of the new year. tts fast eh? it reminds me of something else too... esp when ZX mentioned it.
~me~ at 7:15 PM

went out today to get some skincare pdts with someone who wished to keep his identity unknown, haha. yah, i have no choice but to get myself more skincare cos my face's condition is deteroriating. skin peels, dark circles, puffy eyes.. all thanks to my job man. Ir and wen recommended me biotherm.. so since i have a $10 isetan voucher, i decided to spend it on tt. hmm.. a small bottle of mosituriser and eye cream cost me $132 without the voucher. oh man... its freaking expensive. initially i wanted to buy the line peel, which supposed to have more functions.. but its really too ex - $95. so what happens is.. the sales girl gave me a sample bottle to try.. the bottle is as big as the eye cream one! haha. some small minitures stuff also given to me. after paying this much, they better work man..

met xj and vince for dinner at the roadside stalls opp centrept. it was really really nice to see them again after our meeting last yr. we had many sinful dishes like sting ray, sotong you tiao, satay, oyster omelette. yum yum.. i really miss all these food. i guess we ordered too much and we had to force everyone to finish all the food, inorder not to waste it. so 3 of us left the place with bloated stomachs.. haha. yupz, we chatted quite a bit. vince shared his puntured lung accident... its was so damn scary when he told me tt he could see the doc slicing up his flesh and poking tubes into his lungs. he must have suffered for tt period of time... but he is a v brave one.. he didnt want to inform his parents abt it *since he was staying in the hostel* until the hospital call them up. he said he is old enuff to take care of himself. wah! if it me, i will be there crying man. issues like bgr was brought up too.. and they were anxious for me tt im still not attached. haha. okok.. i will try LOOK out for more guys.

im happy cos im off until 26. :)

im home pple!!! just got back this morning at 2am. yah its sooo early and being so damn tired, i made a stupid mistake by informing the customs officer tt im from SQ12 instead of SQ11. haha.. i think he must be wondering wth im toking abt.

a very interesting and fulfilling 7 days i had. being activated last min, i had to quickly pack my luggage for this long flt to tokyo and LA. upon entering the briefing rm, i sat beside a black face woman who gave me a v tough look when i smiled at her. i knew she isnt a nice person to be with.. and yes, my first sector was with her and imagine how much nagging, suaning, zapping i had from her. okie fine, anyway the things she pointed out do make sense, just tt not in a nice way. and of cos, i do feel stupid. hmm.. i always make mistakes tt i noe i shdnt be when will i get things rite? i just wanna be perfect.

however... not everyone are nasty. the next 3 cpx leaders i worked with are great, as well as the other crews even the jap gers! this is the first time tt i enjoyed so much for the flights as well as the outings we had! its was their team flight and somehow i felt i am part of them as well. Ir and Zul, the couple were so willing to teach me, correct me and took really good care of me when im outstation. Ir is like a mother to us, made milo, gave us cream puffs, provided her own mosituriser and of cos teaching me how to be wise onboard. her husband, helped me alot to contact pam when my fone was down in LA. they say will invite me to their house one day.. and Ir will gimme the cute doorgift tt she bought from jap. haha.. such a cute couple. wen is another nice one. we went shopping tgt, chatted abt work her bf and the eye-roller, XXX. we laughed so much inclu the IFS when toking abt XXX *with eyeshades.. keke*and esp when Zul tried to imitiate her actions. haha.. not forgetting my "daddy" elango, who is a loving dad who practically buys everything for his darling son. before i forget... i must mention this suave cs i had. even he is 39 *we celebrated his bday for him in the hotel*, he still look soooooo charming!!

lets look back at what i have done the past 7 days...

1. :: sin- nrt:: nightstop in washington hotel.

first time got asked by an ang moh to join him for dinner in japan. though i rejected him, he gave me his name card and told me to contact him if i change my mind. and from then i got scared, thinking tt i gave him the wrong impression when i kept smiling at him during the journey. pls, im not someone easy k? ha. this is my third time in narita so im more or less quite familiar with the place. no other nice place to go to except to aeon and jusco, bought a sweater there for only 1000 yen! its on sales.

2. ::sin-lax:: nightstop in millennium biltmore hotel.

more indians than ang mohs onboard so we were all bz with the indian veg meal.. everything was v rush. im v surprised by something which my batchgirls discussed b4 in class - breastfeeding. its actually quite common on the plane and tt the mothers are not embarassed at all without having anything to cover up. i have seen it abt 5 times in less than 2 mths le.

upon reaching the hotel, one will "WOW!!" once they step into the lobby. its damn freaking grand, k!!!! this is also wat pam said when she came over. u feel as if u r the princess living in the castle with high ceilings decorated with paintings and carvings, huge pillars, classic looking carpets and furniture... the buffet breakfast was free for us except tt we have to tip the waiter tt served us. as usual, i love the omelette.

in the afternoon, i went out tgt with the rest to santa monica, which is abt 1hr 30mins busride from the hotel. we saw a beautiful sea there, where baywatch was filmed and then off to the shopping street. din buy much stuff cos everything is ex and i dun have much interest in. anyway, wen was v fasinated with:

and she bought USD180 plus worth of clothes. tts alot man! anyway, u cant get tt brand in sg here.. so buy more lah! haha... we also spent 2 hrs in toys r us before heading back. we still have our tong zhen k? ha. actually i was v near to hollywood, universal studio, berverly hills and disneyland leh! i will leave tt for future.. :)

3. ::lax-nrt:: nightstop at tokyo hilton.

yupz, i love japan cos their service is good and their products are mary's fav. from ramen, gyoza, yakitori, korokke, titbits to all those little cute stationeryand bags.. prob its due to the influence from my dad who used to bring us to daimaru, sogo, taka and the jap supermkts every weekend. bought most of my stuff from the 100yen and tokyu hands. the most special item is this new refillable notebook, i had a similar one 4 yrs ago from kino. its the same but different col! haha. cant resist the temptation of the cute stuff tt the creative japanese have, but i gotta constant remind myself of the prices! the packaging kills as well!

something to ponder: things are more marketable with the good branding and packaging, so it applies for us too?

the weather was bad in tokyo.. rained for the entire day but we were lucky enuff to escape the earthquake as we were still in LA. * hey, anybody worried for me? sobz..* it was really cold out there and our umbrella broke due to the strong wind. while we were walking back to the hotel, it was v chilly and dark and my toes were frozen cos water seeped in. for the first time, i felt soo hmph.. how do i describe? ... so scared, so desolated even im with wen n Ir. i wished i was back home and under my blankets. back at the hotel, we gave an advance bday surprise for the charming one. tot of a kinky idea though... wen is supposed to knock on his door to say shes scared after having a bad dream and needs his comfort. but before she could say tt, lawrence panicked immediately after hearing wen said," law, are u sleeping?" he put his hand infront of him; to protect himself i guess.. and wen burst out laughing - plan failed. haha..

next day i went out alone to get boss a gift... as instructed loh, no choice one. ha. dun worry boss, i have some stuff for ya! bought 5 boxes of cream puffs *ex ex :/* , ties for my dad and bro. spent quite a bit but i think its a rare chance cos chances of gg shinjuku is hard to come by.

4. ::nrt-sin::

met this taiwanese pax who was transferred to us from UA. his plane broke down in chicago and he was being pushed here and there... his luggage went missing too! there were 22 of them who were supposed to be off in taipei but are now gg round n round the world. these pax were taichi here and there without knowing where they r off next, where they r staying.. hmm.. tt shows how bad the arrangements UA had for them. Ir handed the suituation v well, taking down their names, informing the ground staff abt it, listened to the pax patiently and offer as much help as she could. she wasnt annoyed by the troubles tt she has to go thru, which prob many will be. tts soaring. and bcos of this, the aft galley got a compliment letter for tt! hee..

Thursday, February 17, 2005

heyo.. currently at LA now and im gg to some mall later with some colleagues. hee.. its so exciting cos im meeting pam later for dinner too. anyway, i have brought her some pineapple tarts all the way from sg and some crackers from tokyo.. ha. hope she'll like them.

yupz.. the flt from nrt to lax was tiring though load was light and for the 2nd svc, we r like rushing like hell. i was bz giving out the ED cards, white ones, green ones.. even when the pilot announced cc to ur landing positions. quite gan jiong lah. ha. some of the pple i met were nice and some arent.. hmm.. yah, was quite fed up when i was working with the NOT so nice ones. so just try to bocup XXX lohz.

yupz, i just realised i made a mistake... i tot my fone is triband, and could be used in LA. however i guess the info i gotten is WRONG. so im uncontactable now.. until im back in sg... hmm.. cant msg anyone at all. hmm..

but but.. going for this flt means no more perth for me. hmm.. sorry FJ, marc n gf. gotta see u guys another time. this also means no vday for me.. maybe its good in a way; i wont think of stupid things and make myself unhappy. gotta apologise to boss, who already booked seats at e restaurant for dinner. hmm.. i hope he can get someone to go with him.

need to pack my bag! pray for me tt it will be a good journey! :)
~me~ at 2:48 PM

was late today for the dinner at yenhui's place, not only me but also char and jovy. hehe... when we reached there, the guests all had their meals le.. we were so paiseh loh. luckily, there are still food left for us cos they catered more. after tt we had the chance to lao "yu sheng" tgt with her relatives... my third time for this yr. besides tt, the family also got a big cake for their mum whose bday falls on 15 feb! omg we din noe abt tt so we did not prepare any gifts.. hmm.. yh din wan us to noe anyway.

eugene's whole family was invited. imagine tt... haha. i think both of them r getting married real soon. its so exciting to see ur good frens getting married. i havent experienced tt and i guess i will be the first to volunteer to help out on their wedding day! btw... me n char agree tt yh's bro looks quite nice and decent. she din intro leh... haha!

on our way back.. *only char n me* we contd laughing and making stupid remarks. then suddenly, she SCREAMED v loudly while we were along the rd and pple turned their heads to us. haha... guess wat?? char saw a cockroach and almost stepped on it! hhaha... its so damn funny tt i couldnt stop myself from laughing. tts so char man...

Saturday, February 12, 2005

woke up at noon today so tt leaves me with half a day to go thru. actually i was awaken by many smses this early morning.. and i was really annoyed. i screamed and mum tot i was having nightmare or something. ha.

having the whole afternoon to slack, i decided to read up on my frens' blogs to update myself with their happenings. linked from one to another and i finally landed myself in places which i shdnt be in. *sorry hor its not PORN! so no juicy details ah!* read abt their stories for the past few mths and memories just flood back.. saw pics with Y in them. hmm, and i got emotional.. i just cant get rid of tt stupid feeling. OK... vague details again rite? u dun have to understand everything cos my entire blog is coded with my OWN lingos. hehe.

did it ever occur to u tt after reading pple's blogs, u feel tt ur life is so damn empty and not as exciting as what others' have been gg thru? hmm.. this often happens to me. i dunno why. perhaps im really a boring person or maybe i din really appreciate the moments in my life well enuff or maybe im not in good mood today. hmm.. okie, enuff of tt. i just have to think of the happy moments tt are gg to come... tt will make me feel better.

1. CNY dinner at yh's place tgt with applied chem pals.. including my crazy char!
2. monday's "date" with my boss, if possible.
3. perth on the 21st to meet an online fren, fangjun and tgt with my dear photographer who be the ones bringing me ard. heh
4. a late reunion dinner with my sci club pals on the 27th....

btw, the frens u mix ard with is an impt factor tt defines most of ur character. tts why pple always say " birds of the same feathers flock tgt."

Team 34N 
~me~ at 7:49 PM

*yawn yawn* terribly tired after the flt back from auckland. tried v hard to force myself to sleep last night but i simply couldnt do it. blame it on the time difference man. its 5 hrs...

anyway, it was a v different CNY for me this yr. having to spend my new yr's eve on the plane eating "yu sheng" tgt with my colleagues, a supposedly cny dinner with my team at a cheena restaurant called "ding hao" and the rest of the new yr, mostly spent in the hotel watching tv. hmm.. no choice, the pple i meet always like to hide themselves in the hotel. they dun really like gg out, so its sad for me. if u noe me well enuff, u shd noe how torturous it will be for me if i gotta stay in a rm all day long to watch tv by myself. haha... anyway i still managed to see a bit of akl from my 3 hrs walk to town. as usual, my fav stores are surf wear stores.. i simply cant resist the temption to go into each one of them to take a look at what they have.. esp BAGS! heh. i also took a chance to visit the famous skycity casino. hey, the security checked my pass lehz! tt shows im young, k!? *grinz* actually im v grateful tt someone accompanied me there but... i wished she din. cos shes simply drowns my mood of exploring, which is ALWAYS the case. ask her to play jackpot tgt, she dun want. everything also sianz sianz.. except for grumbling to me how bad her bf is, his family is to her. sometimes i do doubt her truthfulness cos certain stuff she mentioned is rather questionable. hmm... tts bad for our relationship. kk forget abt tt. back to the place.. i met an indian/eurasian guy who spoke in hokkien to me in a mini mart. after chatting to him for awhile, i found out tt he is a malaysian, raised in sg, then moved to sdyney and worked in akl. ha. complicated sia.. anyway hes a saint too. i always feel nice to meet another fellow saint somewhere out there. also, i realised tt the hotel's surroundings is like little seoul! why do i say tt? cos u prob meet more koreans than ang mohs over there and restaurants, mini marts all sell korean pdts. heh, of cos i have bought back some korean food! instant noodles, crackers... duhz, korean stuff from NZ? haha.

toking abt instant noodles.. im sooooo scared of it right now. from the lunch i had on the eve to all the dinners i have in akl, i have been feeding myself with tt. i have no choice cos my normal sg dinner time is right at the midnight of NZ.

for this trip, i have known my team members much better. shirley who i always look up upon, has her birthday 2 days after me! francis, my cs is so damn funny. i enjoyed learning from him and not forgetting the crapping part. yashin has thousands and one stories to share, some are really amazing. bernard, my ifs leh, was learning how to install, use msn messenger from me last night. Angie, the super tall lady always have tt cheeky smile on her face. yupz, i agree tt team flying is much better... im less afraid to ask questions.

its dinner time!!

hihi good morning!! mary is at akl now, time now is 11:50 am and im waiting for ivy and the rest to be awake.. haha. initially wanted to sign up for the tours to go sight seeing but then what they have to offer is far too ex for me and the cheaper packages arent interesting at all. so... haha. think i will go to the city area to "mai dong xi, chi dong xi.... " :P

hope those back in sg will have a wonderful CNY and have collected alot of ang pows to treat me dinners. wahaha~

ARE U SURE, MARY? ha... i will try not to return. :P jj wanted to get the cheeze cookies and the seaweed crackers from taka but too bad, they are all sold out! we went clementi to hunt for it, also helpless. hmm, so the lesson learnt is: dun do last min shopping, often its too late. haha.

i got myself a pair of sandals from vnc. nice nice.. the strap is made of a thick band of sliver ribbon! ha. i wont be able to wear tt for cny but i think my mum will! hmm.. always stealing my shoes.. ha. anyway, i hope i can catch up with the fun of cny when i return on fri. yh invited me to her place the next day for a buffet dinner tgt with eugene, char, danscen and jovi. yeah!

Monday, February 07, 2005

spent sometime looking at my pay.. its v confusing cos they split up everything and its tough for us to keep track on the pay since its paid to us on 3 different dates. haha.... need to have a proper $ mgmt or else i will end up spending everything without knowing! ha.

anyway, i went orchard and chinatown today again, with my parents. bought some new yr goodies, change my kiwi and helped my mum to choose her cny clothes. hmm! din buy anything in the end and have to pay for my mum's top via card cos i borrowed her cash to change to kiwi. i lugi leh... *pouting lips*

after all the "rushed" shopping, we hurried home to change for the dinner at goodwood park hotel- a reunion dinner with my uncle's family... this yr was slightly earlier, dunno why it was arranged this way but i was lucky enuff to be able to make it for this sumptuous dinner. its was a wonderful one. nice food, nice ambience and nice feeling with my family. btw, i have fed myself with pineapple tarts and egg rolls already. i eat as though i wont get to eat them again. haha... im worried lah. wat if theres nothing left for me when i come home from akl? ha. i asked mum to keep my fav bamboo shoots for me too. i dun care.. i must have them! im not tt sad to leave sg during cny, just feeling disappointed cos im gg to miss the fun with cousins, and definitely the FOOD! im a greedy pig k! oh.. i think im gaining wt cos i have been eating n eating. kfc on fri, yesterday marche, then reunion dinner and all the goodies. *grinz* okiez.. watch over my diet.. after CNY???? =P

mary is feeling super lazy now, a lazy sat afternoon infront of the comp after a sound sleep. last night i was in the air to madras. fyi, madras = chennai = india. must be wondering wth am i back here in sg so fast rite? haha... tts how fantastic our modern tpt is.

yesterday i shared cab with this LSS whom i v sure i work with her b4. haha.. she is nice to share working tips plus health tips with me on my way to the other side of the island. no airs at all! and its such a coincident tt shes belongs to the same team as sashi and noriani. heard tt sashi "suffered" from sq16. haha, so shd i say im blessed or wat? yah, i handed up my mc to the control and realised tt i still have to go thru a short series of procedures. so mah fan leh.. its just an mc?!

anyway, the flt to MAA is a memorable one i would say. heard rumours how BAD it was and how pple dread gg for it.. so i was a little scared. after the experience last night, i think its not so bad afterall. generally, the pax understands ang moh pretty well and most of them carry laptops k? hmm.. reminds me of ping's classmates. oppz! haha. *dun kill me ping!* yah, the 3 choices of meals is confusing, the flow of meal service is quite terrible for last night and basically no time no time. toilets, hmm.... tts the worst. i dun wanna mention tt. and the poor AIC have to clean the messy floor, NOT me! there's something im feeling v gulity abt. i forgot to give a pax medicine when he told me his stomach isnt feeling v well. i told him i will come back to him shortly and i actually forgot! omg.. tts sooooo forgetful can? hmm... hope no complaints on tt!

i need to go bath now.. before i get slaughtered by ampk for dragging time.

hmm.. damn, super irritated now. when nobody is at home and i dunno if i will have my dinner at home or i have to settle myself before work. which is again... lun-ner at a weird hr. recently, im only having 2 meals everyday cos pple assumed im full after breakfast and its WEIRD if i eat again *tts my grandma's theory* or they expect me to cook instant noodles myself. -_-" btw i dunno where my mum puts her stuff in the fridge.

i wonder wat my mum is doing with her hp. everytime i call her, she never picks up. thanks to my bro who bought the dummy hp for nothing. shd i go n get mac? or shd i cook instant noodles? or will my mum cook later? damn... i dunno.

i just hate this kind of uncertainty.

* if u r patient enuff.... open ur ears! haa...* i just added this new music clip which i like alot alot. heh.

after all the waiting by the phone and net, i finally got something to do! hmm, lost my SQ16 and wat i get now? MAA turn tmr night. omg... i have been telling ericia how lucky i am for not getting any india flt. see lah, retribution. ha. its a turn somemore... means half of my pay goes to cab fares. :(

today mary went ntu again. hmm, seems like i will go either ntu or nus on my free days eh? before tt, i met hongda at JP to get my candle. such a sweet boss i have, he made a candle for me! not all guys can be so creative one k?! thanks alot boss! yupz.. i went ntu this time just to meet joyce cos im supposed to visit her tt time but i din have the chance. we had our dinner tgt at hall 2 canteen * my food sucks big time* before heading to her hall - 10. then a call from amy... she told joyce tt there is some talentime thingy gg on at hall 15 and ask us to go and we did. hahaha... its so much of a coincidental can?! euegene took part in the talentime!!! haha.. in the past i support his TQ when he is the director and for this time, he is a contestant himself. i wonder how he feels to be the other way round. btw, i tot the talentime is something quite big for the hall and the contestants shd be of certain std. to my dismay, the whole thing really cmi. haha.. not tt eugene din sing well. its the rest of the contestants, the music, the backdrop, the sound sys... all their arrangement. hmm! maybe i have high stds lah.. but joyce also feels the same leh. haha...

okie, old mary is getting tired. zzz...

just now went out with m for some drinks. first, to zouk wine bar.. my first time there even though i have went to zouk several times. after tt we decided to go newsrm to listen music. anyway, its ladies night for me and he need not to pay any cover charges. no dance for tonight, its a purely meet up session and to have some drinks.

tonight is an unusual quiet one. not many pple were seen, rather weird for a wed ladies night i think.

too sleepy.. the alcohol makes it worse. ha. nitez

im stucked on this drama series which i have stopped halfway sometime ago.. a really touching and yet complicated story. i wonder if such things do happen in real life.... maybe it does? just like the chinese saying "ren sheng ru xi, xi ru ren sheng."

love is such a wonderful thing and yet it can cause the worst wound u ever have.

im still on the 14th episode.. i cant stop. haha.

nice toking to A, to know tt she is such a cute mummy's ger and how strict her mum was. but seriously, she dun look like one. haha.

yup, we compared the circles of frens we have and realised we have a totally different social circle from each other. to her, she thinks her frens are more fun oriented while mine are family oriented. hmm.. quite true isnt it? and tts is tt reason why each and indivual one of us r so different. we grew up differently tgt with our families, frenz and the environment that surrounds us at every stage of our lives. thats the reason why cliques and couples form; only those who can stand each other, gets tgt.

as for a person who just stepped into the working world, i wonder how my views twds life will change. i shall see it for myself...
