Last nite i slept very late...was out for supper with my frens until 4plus in the morning...was so tired the next day that i actually wanted to forgo my Batam trip with my NTU frens..the same group of frens whom i joined them for their grad trip to Redang and KL...haha but i noe if i dun go, Kailing will kill mi loh...I woke up at 945...I was late...coz we supposed to mit at 10am at Harbour front and i juz woke up at 945...was cursing and swearing until i rushed myself to get ready in 15mins and got into a cab...Mum asked mi y am i in a rush and i told her i was going Batam...she was shocked!! haha wondering y i go Batam and nothing much to do there..Well tat was wat i tot to...but i mean going out with Kailing is fun..no matter where we go..haha so i decided to go despite my heavy head..so i rushed off in a taxi..until i reached Harbour Front..then i gave him a $50 note and he was like: u dun have small change?? then of coz i dun haf tatz y i gif the big one mar..so he grumbled to himself and said: carry big notes when u are in a hurry...i heard tat and i was like: Uncle, sorry ar i only got big notes...take it or i dun pay loh...nowadays taxi drivers are getting very poor in their attitude...when i can afford a car myself, i wun ever need to take a taxi...pay pple money and i still got to listen to him complaining...ok so i reached Harbour Front and Gim yong was supposed to come and bring mi to the rest of the group...haiz..i was like y cant Kailing come fetch mi lehz...but later i realised that Mickey didnt turn up and Ling's cousin took his place...so she couldnt juz leave her cousin alone there..we boarded the ferry and we were late for boarding..but luckily the officer let us go and the ferry has not sailed off yet...wat a lucky day!!
So we reached abt an hour later after we boarded the ferry...we reached the hotel and put our things before we were all set to go out...dun really noe what we can see there...haha the hotel was quite a nice place..Holiday Inn Hotel and itz got really nice ambience ...so we walked around the hotels...haven got the pics but i will put them up soon...then we decided to take a cab to go out to the city for some shopping..we reached the shopping centre Megamall...quite big lar...but not too much things to see there...nt really very cheap oso...but the Levis jeans was cheap and it was authentic too...so Wenxin( Ling's cousin) bought 2 at one go for only $90 over dollars...real bargain..haha...then we had lunch at AMW...the fast food restuarant that died off in Singapore...Root beer float still taste as wonderful..We went to the supermarket...haha itz something like Carrefour and i really loved supermarket..coz many things to see and eat!!!! We bought snacks and drinks like nobody's business...haha for the ladies, we even bought panti liners back!! haha each of us bought around 1 packet each ...coz itz damn cheap there lar...haha so may as well buy..we were even wondering if we can bring a carton of it back to Singapore..haha then we will be the first to smuggle panti-liners! :p Anyway, there were chaos when we were abt to pay up..haha can u imagine spending 6 figure in a supermart?? haha obviously not Sing dollars...but the exchange rate was terrible for us to calculate...first time in my life spending 6 figure in the supermart!Later we walked around and went back to hotel at 6plus...Batam's time is one hour back to Singapore time..so we had a rest and went to Polo Ralph Lauren shop in the hotel...wah this time all of us bought many Polos coz itz quite cheap...convert to Singapore money, every shirt costs around $30...so itz quite a bargain compared if u buy them in Singapore!
We went back in cab and then headed to the sea food restuarant for our dinner...haha we ordered prawns, crabs, Kai Lan, Tofu and of coz with rice..haha wonderful...itz really nice to sit by the sea and enjoy seafood with ur frens...it cost in total SGD 98...maybe a bit ex i tink...but alright lar...coz i dun like to be calculative with wat u eat esp u are out on a trip...spend if u like it...tatz how i tink we should enjoy a trip..it wun be fun if u juz wan to budget on everything... =)
So i stayed in the hotel after dinner while the rest went to ktv...haven had a rest in a while...the feeling of staying alone in the hotel was wondeful...sipping a cup of hot sugared tea and listening to FM 93.3 for my fav chinese songs...haha wonderful..tatz the kind of life i wan when i am 30 with no worries...haha by the time they come back, i was fast asleep...got chased out of bed by Kailing...haiz...we slept til next morning...we had breakfast at the hotel and it was sumptuous...booked my massage..they were having a promotion of Cinnamon body scrub, Shoulder and back massage, Javanese massage and hair spa...i always wanted to do spa in batam or bintan...saw tat it was really relaxing and of coz with the natural sceneries, it just makes u feel even more relaxed...not like Sg..where u only have 4 walls and a bath tub...arghz...i dun call tat a spa...was reading a spa mag while doing the hair spa...SPA came from the greek word, Sanitas per Aqua...health thru water..spa actually lasted for many many years...and itz still as popular...haha i caught a glimpse of a Bali Spa...itz on the rocks..wooh...can u imagine doing spa and facing Indian ocean??? haha i am going to organise that spa trip to Bali soon!!! i simply love spa...hahaha tatz the end of my trip...bought 3 Polos...a cute piggy bank...and panti-liners!! hahaha =D

I took this quiz: Which Greek Goddess are u? just now and I am Athena..haha or rather i belong to her category!Maybe u would like to try this quiz out to find out more about urself...
http://www.paleothea.com/quiz.html
My analysis is as follows:
Athena is one of those Goddesses who just inspires awe. Man, she is just sit-your-ass-down-ROCKIN'-cool. First of all, she is the Goddess of more things than I can shake a stick at. Second of all, she has an incredibly cool story of birth, that is very important to her mythology.
She was the Goddess of Wisdom, Goddess of Military Victory (war with good tactics and winning strategies, not just fighting, like Ares), and Goddess of Crafts.
Athena invented the flute, the trumpet, the earthenware pot, the plough, the rake, the ox-yoke, the horse-bridle, the chariot, and the ship. Now that's just the "guy" stuff. She was also the first teacher of the science of numbers, and all women's arts: weaving, cooking, and spinning.
Haha...tatz all about the abstract i got from this website...quite accurate...coz pple who noe mi by now knows that i am a warrior!! i noe exactly what i wan and work hard towards it..!!

Went to my office after work today..supposed to meet a fren for dinner but last min, he got to do OT...so nvm...i went to eat with Bangwen, Xuan bin..my other biz partners oso there...so nice to be with them...we share common goals and dreams...nv see a team so united ..especially we only noe each other for a month only...so itz kind of different...no back stabbing, nobody wil scold u if u do anything wrong, everybody willing to share ...a biz that fuss abt pple...wonderful...a career and working environment i always wished to have...kind of tough work in the beginning..but i noe itz definitely worth it..my office has been my second home...8 hrs in STA Engines, 5 hrs in my other office and the remaining on transport and home...muz spend time with my family on sundays..mum misses mi alot..i miss my mummy cooking and my sisters' company...but i noe i am working hard to better provide for them...my mum understands and is supportive of wat i do..sincerely appreciate what she has always been doing for mi...buys alot of tonics for mi...always asking what time i am coming home..might be irritating at times but i noe she is the only one who cares and cares with her heart and soul...Mummy i love u!! Mummy i miss u so much as i am typing my blog...if u can read my blog...i hope u noe tat i love u with all my heart....dun worry too much for mi coz i noe wat i am doing...clear of my directions in life and i need all your support... =) i am planning for a trip to china for her and my daddy...very sadly, my whole family nv gone on a tour before...too many pple in the family...not too well to do to fly every year...but i will make this childhood dream of mine come true very soon...to afford for a trip with my family every year...
Anyway, was in office after dinner...saw Irving in office...looks damn smart with that pink shirt...but he kinds of drift away from mi, Jiawei and some biz partners...maybe he too busy?? i dunno...was msging Ben..my ex-bf..so was sharing with him my biz...he asked mi to go to his hse and find him to tok...i was in a dilemma...haven seen him for sometime...if i am still who i was before, i wouldnt have hesitated to go find him...but i noe itz not right..he has a gf...I realised that he is a self centred man...an immature man....very irresponsible and selfish as well...for the first time, i rejected going over to his hse to find him...i got my dreams and i noe wat kind of man i wan as a bf...I felt so proud of myself...haha...i am very soft hearted at times..esp when it comes to old flame...but itz over a long time ago...i am changed....haha :p

So sad...Irving is away to Beijing and Shanghai for 4 days..He will only be back on monday and tuesday is his cousin's wedding...so effectively he will only be back on thurs...the office feels so different without him...anyway i miss him quite alot...haha dun feel comfortable when he is not around..i guess most of my biz partners feel the same too...I tot Irving was leaving on Wednesday...so i msg him take care and stuff...but he didnt reply...hmm...i find tat weird..he sure knows how to keep his price up and sell...gals are sensitive creatures ...Heard Ah Hao that he has a few admirers in the company...but i tot if he likes mi, he will like mi...if he doesnt, even without competition, he will still not like mi..So i believe what is meant to be, itz meant to be...tatz on point of view abt love...but not wat i feel abt a person's life...nothing is meant to be in life..coz u can control...i always feel that u have certain control over ur life..so decision making is impt in our life...
I tot he went to Shanghai on Wed..so i din go down to office..but mainly becoz i was meeting Ginny and Baoling...We went to Kallang indoor stadium coz it was raining very heavily...bought oyster omelette, satay and chicken wings...of coz, how could we miss out Coco, Gin's dog??? tat dog was practically crazy when she saw us eating!!hmm...was kind of disappointed that day coz i msg him the whole day but he nv reply mi....then thursday i met up with Ferrine and I saw him at the office..quite angry and shocked to see him..( i dunno y i am angry oso..maybe becoz he didnt reply and i felt like a fool..) so i pretended not to see him...while i was in the conference room, i tried not to look out for him...but then he flying off soon...so i juz kept turning to look outside...then i saw him and he smiled..so nice to see him smile..ok so he went off to the airport...tink they flying off at 1am...he called Ben at 12 plus and we were all in office..before Ben hang up, he asked if i got anything to say to him...so pai seh...*blush* haha but he ask mi to take care thru ben...haha cant sleep liaoz..Kidding..i not tat crazy over him...
Today is Sat...met up with my sec sch fren, Gaurav...he changed alot i guess...used to be very quiet and low confidence...but now i see him, i am glad he is more outspoken now, more confident and a man with goals...haha until today, then i noe he is an Indian...Trust mi, he doesnt look like a normal Indian...coz he is more fair...so much fairer that he looks like a European...but he is a 100% Indian...going to join SIA in flying soon...he is a Steward...haha now i got one more fren in SIA...so nice..when my biz is stable, i will take up air stewardess if i can be one...coz by then, i got too much time to spend...hahaha but itz a nice meet up session with him..coz he is a business student..he says i talk like a business graduate but i am an engineering graduate...hahaha maybe i should have taken Business instead..was almost flying with all his compliments when i was exchanging ideas with him on the business scene and jobs and pple in Singapore..basically, we just feel tat u need to do more than wat u are doing now for bare survival...look at our education structure...ineffective to produce talents but we ended having a big bunch of pple having the same goal: get a degree, get a job and be an obedient citizen to pay ur taxes and bills on time..no extra $ for other stuff...after housing loans, insurance, handphone bills, children education funds and everything... u are almost a goner!! do something abt it now...earn more and save more for a rainy day rather than make it when u need it...tat will be too late...
Anyway, really sick of my full time job now..really..wish i could get over it soon...haha

STA Engines juz like normal...normal office routine and scoldings here and there...haiz...i like the name but dun like the job...not say dun like...juz tat too much responsibilities and work to be done...die...got presentation on the 14th...better start to get back to work!!!
Anyway, i am feeling wonderful coz i like my life now...i spend my daytime at STA and nite time at my company with all my close frens..where to find such a conducive working environment...hahaha...so nice...been very busy...not even keen to go clubbing until June asked mi to go Dbl O last nite....haha i like it now...alot of freedom and alot of things to tink and do...so nice!! Met up with Yi Neng lately...this guy is good...he is one of the MDRT agent...Million Dollar Round Table..his gf oso one of them..muz be quite outstanding to be one...itz the top 1% of all the insurance agents in the world...shared with mi a very interesting and motivating story...his line is rather similar to wat i am doing except i dun sell...haha here it goes:
Have you ever done a 100 piece jia saw?
Have you ever done a 500 piece jig saw?
Have you ever done a 1000 piece jig saw?
Have you ever done a jig saw without looking at the picture?
If ur ans is No, then i can tell u that alot of pple are doing this esp in the road leading their lives...
Pple picked up random pieces of these jig saw of their life and start piecing everything up..at a point of time, they take a step back and realise that the picture that they made up was not wat they wan in their life...but u can only regret and sigh..
Y not paint a picture of ur life with dreams and pick up the correct pieces that will make up the picture which u want for ur life?
Everybody should have dreams and goals...only when u identified them, then u will work hard towards the dreams and realised it!
Winners dun quit and Quitters dun win...tink abt it =)
