A life TOO ordinary..

My Creme Brulee


You're frozen and your heart's no open..




God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.



Over a decade and more to come!!


You are my masterpiece~


Well, sorta!

German Bier Bar. Had a wonderful time with the Buangsters at Vivocity yesterday. The food was good and the company was better. Go try it if you have the time. Pork knuckles, sausages and nice dessert. And beer of cos~ It was my 3rd time to Vivocity last night. It seems thatI go to Vivocity only for dinner. I must go shopping there one day.

We went to Rail Mall for Turkish food on Friday only to find that it's been replaced by some Fish restaurant. We headed to Hoshi at IMM. The food is decent, for the price, it better be. Hur hur. I've given up taking photos during gatherings cos' pictures never make their way to my blog.

It's simple pleasures like this we really need in life. Good food, good friends, good time.

4 more days to SpongeBob SquarePants and PATRICK~

Everyone knows how messy I can be. Be it my classmates, hostel neighbours, colleagues, family, yada yada yada. Yes, I am not proud to say it, but I can be super X 89153156144 disorganised * and even that is an understatement*.

But you see, the beauty of disorganisation *if there is such a word to start with* is that you never know when you will find a dead cockroach a nice picture of your friends from JC and yourself dressed as a walking fashion disaster or pictures of your cute cousins before you start calling them 'pesky' or like $50 note that you kept for whatever strange reason or the last sappy movie you were forced watched to please someone and all those KNN-ly embarrassingly foolish stuffs that reminds you of your not-so glamourous past. Well, you see, it can be quite refreshing sometimes. And it trains your patience. Cos' find a pencil in 8946513189 places definately needs patience. And a lot of faith in the Almight One up there who's prolly sniggering at you . And it trains you to face disappointments cos' after searching 8946513189 places, you might not find what you were looking for (and of cos' if you find it, you learn about humility and try not to be too proud of yourself). So disorganisation is quite a beauty when you are not late and is still looking for your favourite underwear or when the deadline is like 30 seconds later and you can't find your excel file because you forgot the file name or when the plane is taking off within an hour and you are still home looking for that business shirt you intend to wear . Right. The beauty of it.

Oh well, anyway I saw from my online jobsearch portal email that there is a rather enticing vacancy available. It has always been a dream to work in that company because it sounded so cool and I think it is near where the un-bimbo and my favourite beef noodle is. And somehow, the job scope seems similar to what I am currently doing. And it is a private, overseas conglomerate. So it sounds really pretty cool. So yah, very cool lah. There's something that's holding me back, I can't say what exactly it is, maybe it my conscience or my guts, a lack of it rather . Oh well, the ad was up like yesterday, so maybe tonnes of more qualified people had applied already. Right. Stop calling me a chicken!!

Anyway, I knock off at 5 tomorrow cos' it's 'eat-with-your-family' day. Which ironically, I am meeting Coins-the cramping curse, the bleeding curse and his gurlfriend for dinner. And it's my treat to a Turkish restaurant. I feel as if I'm betraying my family. hur hur.

Oh and I'm going to watch 'SPONGEGBOB SQUAREPANTS'!!!!! My cousins are coming in around that time and had 'expressed interest' after I asked Huey Li, so yep, I am going to get the tix this Saturday. hur hur. It's always nice to have small, cute lil' cousins so that you have excuses to go for kids' shows and enjoy yourself without looking childish .

Just received my OG flyer (ok it does sound a little 'mature'), but yayee, another Sale. hur hur. And got mushroom pot 1-for-1!!! OK la, I should stop spending money like they grow on trees. hur hur.

Anyway, it's an hour since I started this blog.

I think I want to sleep now. Sleep is very important.

SINGAPORE: Fresh graduates joining the Civil Service from 1 June this year will be paid more.
Those with good honours who join the Management Executive Scheme, a scheme for graduates employed across many ministries, can be paid up to $2,800, up from $2,410.
Other graduate schemes will see increases between $230 and $620.
For example, teachers with good honours degrees used to get a starting salary of up to $2,560 but now they will get up to $2,820.
Those with basic degrees in the uniformed services used to get up to $2,260.
Now they will get up to $2,570.
The starting pay of accountants in the Civil Service has already been increased since 1 May 2007.
Starting salaries were last adjusted in June 2006.
The latest adjustments are part of the annual pay review to make sure that salaries keep pace with the market, says a statement by the Public Service Division in the Prime Minister's Office.
The Singapore economy has performed well over the past year, with increased hiring and salaries in many sectors.
Since the Civil Service pay hike was announced earlier this year, applications received via the job portal increased by about seven percent, from 1,440 applicants to 1,540 applicants, during the period between March and April. - CNA/ir

GAWD... Where is my damn resume???

I'm back from Penang, again. The next time I look for a job that requires me to travel, I will try to find out where I need to go first.

Anyway, the food was good so there's not much to complain. 'cept I reached home after midnight and had to go to work today. I *heart* Malaysia. Right.

Met with some Malaysian kids. They are really a nice bunch of kids. Very cute. I hope we will stay in touch and I hope I will be able to help them as much as I can la.

Some good news couldn't really confirm today. So the budget went like some kind of stock market prices. hur hur. Oh well, some things are worth the wait. I hope.

It's freaking hot lately, how I wish I have a TV in the room so I can watch TV in comfort. hur hur. I am such a lazy swine.

Yayee. Got money from gahmen again. Show me the monehhhhhh~~

I planned to sleep at 8.30pm today because I had an immensely tired day at work, it was like running up and down Reading Room all over again, minus the grease and the dirty old men. But I stayed up to stare at the TV till 9 and when I was finally ready to sleep at 9.15, I couldn't sleep!! So I tossed and turned and decided that I should write some totally pointless stuffs just to humour myself. Very clever.

I can't think of anything interesting I want to blog right now cos' my mind is totally occupied with what happened at work today and what is going to happen tomorrow and the weekend that follows. Not good cos' these are big opportunities for me to screw up. Like how the minor screw up happened just now. *sigh* Maybe that is why I couldn't sleep the whole night.

Anyway I will be off to Penang *again* this Saturday and will return on Sunday night. Which is obviously sad because my precious weekend will be burnt and I cannot shop for Duty-free liquer *not that I am alcoholic*. And it's one night, and I have to return to work on Monday. I won't even have time to go and buy Tao Sa Piah.

We heard some good news in the office, which got me and Paws a little too excited. Well, I guess we should not indulge in too much happiness until the whole news is confirmed. Oh well, I am still not sleepy yet.

I have yet to make any travelling plans cos' I've been really working lately *hur hur*. And at the rate I'm going, I doubt I will have much funds to travel. Which means I might not make it for Silly's graduation in Melbs since the air tix is so freakingly expensive and I don't have 1 month to spend there to make my air tix worth. I didn't know my last trip to Auzzie could become such a luxury now. Very sad. And even if I have the one month, I don't think I want to spend my time going there again since I've already spent considerable amount of time there. But I do miss my Vietnamese noodles and oysters. Fresh, succulent, raw oysters you know.

For some strange reason, I miss Qingdao quite a bit. It's prolly cos it was a whole month of doing nothing, watching the flowers bloom and listening to the sand storm hit against your window. It's prolly not the place but that time of my life. I think I think of Qingdao because I am lazy. hur hur.

No, I still don't feel sleepy yet.

*20 minustes later*

I found a glass I bought a few weeks ago. I wanted to paint it but never got the time to do it. So just 5 seconds ago, I painted the bottom layer. Actually I didn't really have anything particular in mind I want to paint on the glass. So maybe tomorrow morning I may wake up thinking why I did such a horrendous job on the glass. But for now, I like the red-black combination on it. And maybe I will fnish the 90% tomorrow night. If I get the mood again. Maybe I should go for the pottery class which I never got around doing *because it is so freakingly expensive*. One bad thing about pottery is that I can never afford a kiln and no kiln, prolly no nice pots. Oh well, I will think about it again when the time comes. Pottery Scholarship Sponsors, anyone??

Oh well, I think I better return to bed to toss and turn. At least my eyes get some rest. Goodnight everybodeh...
