(took my favourite bus 169 to woodlands to kill time) LOL. ate at foodmall. ronald returned to the shop to continue with his work while i went window shopping. met after he finished work at 9.30pm again and ate supper at toastbox.

订花

had a cny staff lunch yesterday. yusheng, sakae sushi, meesiam... not bad. no need to spend money on lunch. haha. the other temp staff is on leave today. so i was super busy since morning. had to go over to park mall since some of the classes were held there due to insufficient classrooms. i thought i can finish evaluating the remaining piles of survey forms today. but before i can finish clearing them, more work came in. photocopying and keying of data. but everything is still ok. all went smoothly. received lejun's msg while working, asking me to go order flowers for him. hehe. left office a bit late today and went to chongpang. the florist was quite friendly. so i placed the order and then the florist asked me, '你帮朋友订花, 自己要不要订?' i smiled and said 'no gf leh'. another lady beside her replied, '没有girlfriend才要订花. 给了花可能就有了.' haha.

8/2/2008

happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to lejun
happy birthday to you

i went swimming with lejun this morning. came home in the afternoon. read newspapers and slept. lazy sunday. another busy week ahead.

1st week of work

finally i'm here blogging. went to work on mon morning. reached singapore shopping centre before 9. yes. it is singapore shopping centre. many people thought i was joking. haha. had a tour around the office and classrooms. received this pass which allows me to access to any part of the office. day1 was all about standing in front of the photocopying machine and printing stuff. learnt how to make use of the different functions of the machine. there are also electronic hole puncher and stapler. was only a bit tired when i came home. slept at around 12+am.

i began using the computer on day2. the other temp staff, ching tong, taught me about key data into the system so info such as the courses and classes will appear on the plasma tv or whatever you call that thing and students will know which classroom to go to. the previous sentence is a bit long. haha. day2 had to work until 8 instead of 6 because there will be a Professional Conversion Programme (PCP) talk. most of the people who attended it were jobless. was tired. i slept at around 11+. haha.

i sat at the reception counter on day3. the recep lady was on leave. was very busy attending to clients and also picking up phone calls. it was not easy. angry callers. influx of clients enquiring about the courses. the day finally ended and i squeezed onto the crowded train. reached yishun after some time. went to safra, bought goggles for my brother and then walked home. very tired. i slept earlier than day 2. at around 11.

day 4 was still ok. sat in front of the computer in the morning. went for lunch and came back to the office. ate until very full. was thinking i'll be busy in the afternoon. had to contact students to confirm with them if they are attending revision classes and also key data of student into the system. however, i was asked to go to the office at the 4th floor. called the students. couldnt contact some of them. either they didnt answer, starhub is unable to get a response from our subscriber or the hi card subscriber is not available blah blah blah. was stuck there for 2 hours. havent been exercising for some time. so i brought along my swimming pants, goggles, shampoo and other stuff that morning. went to swim in the evening after work. it was 8+ when i left the pool. wanted to eat kfc. so i walked to chongpang and bought myself a zinger meal. hehe. day4 was totally cui. at about 10, i could hardly stay awake. went to bed at 10.30. was wondering. working is already so tiring le. when i go to tekong, wont it be more tiring. haha.

day 5. today is ching tong's last day of work. thanked him for teaching me so much during my 1st week of work. and i kept asking a lot of questions. hahaha. went over to park mall this afternoon. there are too many classes and we dont have classrooms le. rented some classrooms over at park mall. many people are upgrading themselves, signing up for cert, advanced cert and diploma courses in tourism. companies are also sending their workers for the lessons too. i'll be reporting to work at 8.30am instead of 9am from next week onwards. and new temp staff will be coming in on mon. heard that he's a regular temp. was keying the schedule for next week. there are lessons in almost all time slots. will be more cui than this week i guess. so many things to do. but it's quite fun la. yeah.

loves swimming

swam in the morning with aloysius before going to ssdc in the afternoon on fri. practical lesson that day was better. the car stalled only 2 or 3 times. i'm starting to get the hang of it. releasing the clutch just nice to the biting point. changed from gear1 to gear2 numerous times. practised braking just in front of the stop line and also with all four wheels in a yellow box. everything went smoothly. i have to wait about one month for the next practical lesson which requires pdl already.

had breakfast with few of my pri sch friends on sat morning. angeline teh is going to move to eunos. so she had contacted a few of us to meet up before she leaves yishun. we lied to benjamin that she's going to migrate to australia. and he believed. told him the truth only when he was about to leave. hahaha. played pool at safra with michael in the afternoon before we took a cab home.

went to safra again this morning with lejun to swim. i only realised that i lost my brother's goggles before i left house. must have left it in safra on fri. no choice but to buy a new one for him. lejun soaked in the water while i swam swam a bit. i'm starting to love swimming. it's quite fun actually. bathed and had lunch. waited at safra for bernard to come. aloysius came after some time too. played pool. went to northpoint. and then back home.

i am starting work tmr. finally. no need to nua at home and do nothing. yeahyeah. feeling quite excited. but also a bit worried. lot of questions on my mind right now. what will i be doing for the day? will i be able to get along well with my new colleagues? where do i go for lunch? will i be eating alone? do i go home for dinner or settle it outside? hmm. i guess all these questions will be answered after tmr. shall sleep a bit earlier tonight. aiya. no more listening to radio until 3, 4am. maybe 1 or 2 am will be ok. as long as i dont oversleep. hehe.

隧道 － 林凡

a song from hot shot (篮球火) ost.

隧道 － 林凡

时间一份一秒
心情像白云
自在地飘
独自坐在公园一角
任凭风冲进怀抱

十二点的钟声
传遍了
城市每条街道
期待拥抱
又害怕会被你知道

到底是要远远看你
还是靠近一点更好
我不确定
你是不是
我一直要找的主角

我用骗人的祈祷
骗自己
我现在很好
和你在一起的每分每秒
就像走过
彩虹隧道

时间一份一秒
同一座城市
相互寻找
独自坐在公园一角
看着雨后的青草

十二点的钟声
传遍了
城市每条街道
有谁知道
我现在矛盾的心跳

到底是要远远看你
还是靠近一点更好
我不确定
你是不是
我一直要找的主角

我用骗人的祈祷
骗自己
我已经看到
忐忑不安的背后是微笑
是我们的
彩虹隧道

幻想不停围绕
它很美
也很煎熬
我却无法选择
要或不要

到底是要远远看你
还是靠近一点更好
我不确定
你是不是
我梦中见过的主角

我用骗人的祈祷
骗自己
你没有看到
阳光底下
我的心像羽毛
跟你飞过
彩虹隧道

CNY

cny day1: i was the last to wake up. visited grandma in the late morning. brother drove us. he got his driving licence recently. didnt meet any of the uncles or aunt. left after some time and went to maternal grandparent's house. everyone was there. 大舅 and family went to batam for holiday. 小舅母 took out some old photos. really old photos. saw how my mother, uncles and aunt looked like when they were young. reminiscing the past. we all then proceeded to someone else's house. should be my grandmother's sister ba. so many people squeezed into the house. hahaha. i have no idea how to address the many many relatives, like my mother's cousins and blah blah blah. so we entered and just 'hello hello. happy new year!' our way through. as there were too many kids around, the elders that was giving out angbaos was confused. some were asking if we have received the angbaos yet. watched iron man while the older generation gambled.

cny day2: last to wake up again. hehe. watched tv and slacked around. played patapon. pata pata pata pon. pon pon pata pon. chaka chaka pata pon. hahaha. i'm addicted to this game. went out in the late afternoon to grandma's house. cousins, uncles and aunts were there. the cousins gambled. lost some money. haha. went home after that. went out again at 10+ to meet bernard and lejun for supper. reunion supper. lol. we ate pratas. as usual, they were talking about ns stuff and i listened. walked home at 1+ with lejun from sembawang.

stayed home yesterday. slacked around doing nothing much except using the computer and playing patapon. previously, mother had bought the stuff needed for the yusheng. at night, we lao-ed the yusheng before biao booked in. went to ssdc this afternoon. woo. was a bit excited. it's my first practical lesson. i drove the car. very fun. can only drive in the ssdc circuit because i havent taken the basic theory test and obtain the provisional driving licence. the car stalled a few times. mainly because i released the clutch too much. so funny. had the start the car again. practised braking, steering, changing gear. i'm looking forward to tmr's practical lesson. yeahyeah.

shopping

went shopping with ronald today. first to causeway before heading to queensway shopping centre. ronald needed a pair of running shoes. havent been to the shopping centre for a long time. was a bit surprised when i saw the many clothes shops instead of shoe shops. it wasnt like this previously, was it? hmm. bought more clothes at queensway and ronald bought his running shoes. woo. we both spent quite a lot of money. dont think i'll be spending much money on clothes again since the new clothes for cny had been bought. went to ikea in the late afternoon. wandered around. saw this bedroom. the layout was quite unique. next time when i have a house, i'll go ikea to shop for the furniture. hahaha. it was fun to visit ikea once in a while. you get to think about how you want your house to be in the future. yeah. me and ronald then slowly walked back to the mrt station. was shocked that my wallet wasnt with me! man. i lost my wallet. so we made our way back to ikea. heng ah. someone had found my wallet and returned it to the security room or smth like that. the security guard was saying they had made a public announcement just now but i didnt hear it. so lucky to find it back. should have asked the security guard for the contact of the person who found my wallet. wanted to thank him or her. thank you very much! i must be careful in the future. cannot be so careless le.

exercise.

exercise to keep fit and healthy. this is what i had been doing for the past few days. sat morning went to play basketball with pingkee. jumped here, jumped there. attended cdac in the afternoon. there were a few new mentors. did spring cleaning. threw away those unwanted things. wayne prepared a 'discovering my desire profile' test for all of us. it's quite accurate. but must be truthful when doing the test. it allows you to know yourself better and improve on your character or areas which you are weak in. very interesting.

met lejun and aloysius on sunday morning to swim. i'm still learning how to swim. lejun left early to meet gf. so me and aloysuis continued to stay at the swimming pool for a while. bernard came later and we had lunch at northpoint before going to safra to play pool. reached home in the afternoon and slept. i was tired. my legs were a bit sore. jumped too much on sat.

woke up early on yesterday morning. was going swimming again with aloysius. this time was at safra. i finally can swim a bit le. there's always something wrong with my kicking. previously i couldnt move forward just by kicking. now i can kick and move forward. at last. i must swim more. haha. ate at a coffeeshop opposite safra. played pool for a while after lunch. reached home at about 5. put down my bag and immediately went out. the weather was good. i had the urge to cycle. and so i cycled to woodlands. somewhere near kranji. cycled back. went to sembawang park 1st and then back home at 7+pm. tiring but fun. my whole body is aching.

this morning i overslept. rushed to ssdc. practised the theory questions. booked other slots for thursday. came home and slacked for the whole day. cycled to aloysius's house just now. had to borrow a memory card reader from him. but seems like it's not working. i plan to go swimming on thurs or fri. and also go jogging soon. yeah. that's about it. shall go eat my mee goreng now. haha.

Top Of The World - Carpenters

Such a feeling's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
