Valentine 2012

Pre-valentine of mine was grumpy and down, seeing flowers and gifts on Facebook. Green eye me stopped me from logging to it for the whole 13^th. Then 14^th came and I guessed I got myself a nice sleep, was super happy dunno-for-what admitting that I am alone this year as the Man is back at Malaysia. Long d really sucks. Well, got myself a nice smile for whole day of 14^th at office and then got Hersheys from Bon as Vday gift. 

Then soon after I knock off, went home straight away planning on how to celebrate it my way alone. On the train, sore eyes man, couples cuddling here and there, well its kinda indecent actually. Maybe its because its Vday so everyone got so passionate about it and starts all those touching on the train. I am alright with love gestures, touching of forehead, kissing in the cheek but hey, fondling is way too much. So I got myself calm down with my Ipod and alighted. 

Went home and got myself some fattening snacks and HK dramas. Roomie got me chocos too. It all went well until the Man called, asking if I want any Vday gift. Of course I want, though I know he must be up with something funny. Never thought that....

he sang through the phone. First time listening to him, to sing a complete song to me. Never. So I cried, and to avoid my roomie know about it, I start cracking jokes. Well, it doesn't sound well but hey, a complete song from a man that doesn't sing in K or even in bathroom. Thankew Man, appreciate it. Though bad me didn't prepare anything for you, I mean I did but it went wrong so yeah, Happy Valentine 2012! 

Writing this down because I have been so forgetful recently, I might be forgetting this next year so yeah, blogger.com please don't shut down for no reason, need you so much!

Christmas 2011

Christmas was fun when it was with great people, positive environment and attitude. Mine was fantastic! 



Night before the eve, I was with the group of besties and I had my best gift exchange sessions ever. Unstoppable laughter till my stomach close to explosion and then we are there at Fine Cuts! (nice and cheap Western restaurant located at the basement of Central Mall at Eu Tong Sen Street). I got an epilator from SuPing as my main gift and tumbler, handcream, bath set as small gifts from the rest of my dears. It was great cause everything were on my wishlist and thank you for all the quality time spent together. I had a great night with you girls. 



First year in Singapore, I went to the common place - Orchard and was an experience. Spraying of white snow in bottle,though got slightly conned in purchasing colored snow in bottle which was far away from what I've expected. Sigh, and it rained on the night where I was expecting a lot funny stuff from the crowd. Luckily I hung out with few friendly friends and had a great night with them. 


Then on the Christmas day itself, I went to Orchard again with the same gang and shop around. Despite the crowd, was a good sight seeing on the street when the Sun still up. A peaceful outing with them. Due to tired night a day before. 


Great that Christmas falls on Sunday,means extra holiday on Monday. Went out with roomate and the gang, for a fun and laughter-bursting singing session. From oldies to latest pop songs, admired all their voices. Loving it when there's a pool table for me, though SGD 2 per game, managed to grabbed the cue and hit few balls. And I end the night with Sherlock Holmes the movie, my great handsome manly hairy actor "Robert".  


And before I end this Christmas post, share with you some 'studio' pictures. Together with some wacky crazy colleagues. 

Can't wait for New Year!!

Parents of X gen

Was having dinner and meet up with the gang, in a busy crowded food court. A sudden scream for attention from a decent dresses man " Hello ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please! Do you have any male relatives of the age from 60-70s here with you! I repeat, a senior male aged from 60-70s!"

The crowd were slient, whispers chattering.

"No yah? Because I have an old man who has just collapsed out here!!"

The man then left leaving the crowd proceeding to the other side repeating same question.

Us, whom were very disturbed wondering who have left their own relative here alone.


Soon we finished our dinner and once were stepping out from the place, we were stopped. The old man was there, unconsciously together with paramedics performing the least aid they can onto the old man chest.

We were stunned. Numb our hearts were. Then we stood still as the old man were carried away.

We discussed. We were curious. How can the old man be here all alone!! Is he with someone, like his old wife, or any other relatives??

Sourly, tears of fear and pityness in each of us. The old man was pale, very pale. Wonder if he is still alright?
Dare not we say it out, but thats my thought at that moment.

What is happening to this society? How can such tragic scenario happenning. Why so!

Rules and Regulations

Understood that certain working environment will sure have its own style in keeping the circle. Same goes to mine. Penalty for every 15 minutes lateness, SGD 5, which is RM12 in Malaysia. And for the past month, been reaching late to the office for the punch card, sometimes 1 minute, sometimes 2, sometimes 5. 


Indeed my fault for reaching late, I can't blame it on the company for imposing such rule. So what I can do is, wake up earlier for the bathroom (as I am renting a room with a family at Singapore), try to make it early to the office.


Blaming is useless, while making things right are what we should do. Plus ranting over OT done can't help anything at all. While learn to do things faster and time planning are essential in preventing OTs,


Positive thinking will results in happier life, so why not keep ourselves happy with the alternatives we have? Get to the problem and solve it, lesser rants will keep smiles. 


Guess this is how I begin my day today, Good Morning peeps! ~ cheers and have a nice day!

The 5th of June 2011

A night to remember as I managed to get enlightened. I always think that relationship is just part of our lives, boyfriend is only a matter of you want or you don't. Correct? I wonder.


Surrounded with happy couples, feel and sense how happy they are with their current lives. What about me? Mine, pursuing for his family's career and me, going for my dream. What about our future? What to do when our dreams are too far apart? Will us sustain? 


Concerned friends advised and I have my stand. Understood their intention, worrying over my feelings here. But as long as I am not troubled with any argument with him, I will keep this On. The feeling of missing him, aching and certain times, I really tear out.


Then was introduced to a new friend, sharing her stories to me, and sweet her revealing her love stories to me. I am happy for her, her happy face was infectious. Starting to think, what is the chemistry between two different person that able to attract one another for such a long duration. 


Keeping this in mind, still thinking. One could sacrifice much for the love they have on the other, one could even give up on certain priorities in life for love. What about me? Am I too selfish in this? Should I head back to be with him? Or should I let the time being to be our test period? To test whether we can overcome the time and distance.


Tough, and I am confused as usual~ *miss*

Diversified environment

Having the chance to be here, as a foreign worker in the city of lion, is a valuable one. Soon I understand the feeling of being a foreigner, the feeling of insecurity and strange. Previously, I was one typical girl, afraid of foreign workers back at Malaysia, fearing they will attack or hurt me anytime. Its strange, but now I understand. 


I understand the threat and the feeling of being misunderstood by others\, to judge the book by its cover. Why so? Human, stereotyping is common. 


Back to the title of this post, my experience in working in a diversified environment is not new. I am comfortable to work with anyone from any Asian countries, but seemingly with those from the Western countries, tough as I can imagine. Unstable personality and rule-less them love to behave in a way where I cannot understand. Why? They are so moody, they can simply scold and a moment later, they can be very sweet to you. 


Anyway, they are just a minority of those surrounding me. 


What about the politics? Media here at the city of lion, monopolized, mainstream as usual. Nothing different, just that, not more on racism, the thing I like it here. What I dislike, the selfishness of majorities that I encountered. People pushing and running down the escalator, without caring the elderly and girls in heels (like me), simply rushing, for what reason, I really have no idea. Then the youngsters sitting on reserved seats on MRT and pretending to be sleeping, ignoring the pregnant ladies and senior citizens. I have no idea what and where those selfish people from , excuse me for putting it on the people originally from the lion city, no idea, I really have no idea where they are from. Just sharing my experiences, no intention of condemning any race, any countries or whatsoever. 


What about the manners? Smile? Rare, but I believe if I carve it on mine first, initially it will infect yours as well. Do not believe me, try carry a big smile out to the city today, see how much smiles you have in return. I wonder, is it the stress they are facing in their lives or plainly, they are shy to smile? Why shy? What if I smile and people do not return it, feeling like an idioto smiling alone there right?


Not only that, kids here, headache for me, I wonder why parents here rarely shout or hit on their kids? As precious as pearls, I can say. Kids as old as 4 years old on a baby trolley, with their long legs slipping out. Wondering, and what's more, kids shouting here and there in supermarket, I know kids wert, common right? But if kids at Malaysia did this, parents at the side would just give a tight slap on the face. Here? They seems like begging the kids to shut up by offering candies and toys. Hmm......wonder....


And what's more, people here rarely switch on the lights, I wonder why? As I know, fluorescent lights would not cost much wert. How come they can eat in the dark, eating fish with bones some more. Then watching television in dark rooms, and having everything in the dark. I would not say this is eco-friendly living style, why, because it only spoil the eyes of your kids. Training them to see and watch in the dark is not a fair thing to begin with. 


Lots more to share, and now its my time to switch off my room's light, before my landlord feeling bad about this. Good night fellas.

Singapore,the Lion city

My first coffee when I was being left by the famous Sri Maju bus at Singapore's custom.

 

Super down and angry me was cheered up by a kind taxi driver. Followed by crispy mini hash browns.

Luckily, weather in the city was kind to me. Windy and not sunny.

Curious and free me was loitering around Marina. The architure amazed me and casino wise, not bad. But the coffee there, hmmm...maybe I was expecting a better roast beans. Anyway, its free. Drink as much as you want, gamble as much as you want.

Then it was a spicy moment, saliva dropping noodles from Chinatown.
