  1. Went to office only at 920.
  2. Received wedding package from Ritz Carlton.
  3. Listened to my boss talking about how skillful his family, relatives are in computers.
  4. Missed the "meet the GM session" because I got too much things to do.
  5. End work at 610.
  6. Missed the shuttle bus at 605.
  7. Waited by the roadside for almost 20min.
  8. Got a ride to Braddell rd in a Jaguar~ Thanks to the restaurant manager who asked me along when her customer offer her a ride.

That's the summary of my 26th July 2005. I would like to elaborate on one incident. That's the ride from SICC to Braddell rd. Below is an abstract of our conversation along the way.

misspeirong: So do you come here very often?

member: No.. Seldom..

misspeirong: (oh ok... tt means you come like once half a yr or once in a few mths ah? so i am lucky to get a ride from you!)

member: I come about once a week, once in 10 days~

misspeirong: ............... -_-"'

So I realised once a week is SELDOM. And often probably means twice a day. I dunno what is once half a yr call liao~

My Boss -- Joe Yap

My mum is finally back!!! I must say, I really missed her alot~ Though I din miss my dad at all... Its really good to have my mum ard!! :) Though din really did much, but we just sit ard, den telling her wat happened to me daily~ Thank God for this!!! :))))

I did something crazy today! Ha~ My boss wanted me to call up some hotels to ask for their wedding menu!! He say use my name wor~ So..... I called up Sheraton Towers and Ritz Carlton saying I want them to fax their wedding menu/package to me!! Then the guy at ST even asked me "May we have ur fiance's surname, just for referrence.!" WAHAHAHAHAH~~~ I really STUNNED loh...... Den anyhow just give a surname! hahahhaha....... DAMN FUNNY!!!!! Then later he fax the menu n package to me. With the opening letter saying wat " Blah blah blah~ Congratulations. and thank you for chosing our hotel as ur very 1st step to ur blissful marriage etc~" WAHAHHAHA... I almost faint when I say that man~ My boss also laughed when I passed to him the menus b4 I left for home... He was like "oh! you got it already!!"

Ha~ Later I found out its actually for his son lah~ Dun ask how come his son cannot do all these himself. I guess my boss is being a nice dad trying to secretly help his son save money. (since he is a top chef n can get better price)

I really think my boss is a nice chap leh~~ He gave me an organiser today. He say this yr is already halfway gone liao... I was so shocked! Initially I still din get wat he meant when he shoved tat thing to me.. I thought he wants me to pass to somebody.. Den when i ask " huh? give me ah??" he say.. yah lah.. if u dun want den just throw it away or something lah~" But I still very thankful that he actually gave me tat...

Den when I asked him if he will be attending the company's annual dinner, he asked if I am going.. Den I say i cannot go cos i part time.. Den he ask how come cannot go? Den i say its only for permanent staff.. Den he insists that in past yrs, part-timers can attend as well... Den i say no lah~ anyway I leaving soon le... den he say nothing...

He really quite good hor??

Den another thing is, I wasn't feeling very well today... Had slight fever yesterday... Actually din want to go work, but my mum I shouldn't have tat attitude, so go loh~
Den today whole day my mood not very good ah~ Especially when the kitchen staff did the usual thing like making fun of you, teasing you.... I got VERY IRRITATED!!! Really felt like complaining to my boss!!!
Ha~ ALL the kitchen staffs are very afraid of my boss!!! I always see him scolding them, telling them wats right, wats wrong! Hahaha.... When they got something to ask boss, they oso dun dare to approach him... Actually they dunno... Boss in fact cares alot for his staffs' welfare ah~

PS I: Now watching ENGINE by Kimura Takuya! Very nice and touching... cried as many times as Da Chang Jin... Though its 3X shorter than the latter.

PS II: The battle should be over soon!!! YEAH! haha... The feelings in me is finally fading away~ Thank GOD for this!!! Guess I must really be happy and get ready for school in 2 weeks time!!!!

Finished again!

Firstly, this post was meant for 21st July 2005. Cos my comp got hung yesterday, I wasn't able to update... So now, updating from my office.

Yesterday was a nice day! my boss was not in office! He off! That means, I could be as slack as I want! But there is this weekly work schedule thingy tats getting on my nerves.... I hasn't been able to hand it up on time! All thanks to those "management"!!! Dunno why they forever take so long to sign some papers! Just sign only mah~

Apart from me being slack, the whole kitchen is slacking like siao! They will just come into the office and sit there, talk nonsense and speak vulgarities! *yeek* I just one ear go in, the other ear come out... Then yesterday was the "What-is-your-age" day. haha... I went ard asking ppl's age and ppl came to ask me my age... To my surprise, almost all of them are younger than wat I expect! Remember that 30+ chef I mentioned in my previous blog? That very PR one? He is only 6 yrs older than me loh... I totally din noe how to react when he told me this. I felt so guilty when I told him I thought he 30+. The aunties den told me "no lah~ he is only 20+"

Conclusion: working in the kitchen for too long, will make you age very fast!!!!

After work, its time to relax!! I met Adeline at the Mac near our hse... Had a good laugh again! She was supposed to show me some photos... and hai~~ Wat a disappointment ah~ But anyway, told her an old story of mine... Hope she got to noe me better!

When I reached home, washed up and everything, I felt a sudden sense of loss... because I finished Da Chang Jin le... not the whole series, just wat I've got in hand... So sad... Den din noe wat to do.... But luckily, one thing kept me real busy! That's finding out how to go to my freshie, Aili's hse today... And oso finding somebody to go with me so that I wun get lost alone in the midst of forest and cemetry... hmm... I pray that everything will be just fine today!

Hai~ Nothing to keep me occupied le... Now waiting for the Jap drama Yixuan had kindly agree to download n burn! I am really so thankful that she agreed to help me download! I can't dl cos my dad dun allow us to dl anything into his comp :(

That's all for yesterday! Think I will have lots of fun today!!!

PS: Mum's finally coming back from China tmr!! *can't wait*

Yet another activity to keep myself occupied!!

Ha~ Its yet another slacking day at work.. I brought 12 CDs to my workplace today.. to copy into my PC.. yeah~ so nx time I can listen to songs I like le!! Today was a nice day cos the person sharing my office is not ard... I felt so relaxed~ heehee.. and finally can listen to 933 le... Today's work, though slack, i still got quite tensed up... Cos i made a mistake today!!! I forgot to tell my boss that the meeting in the morning was cancelled :( oh man~ I panicked like MAD!!! I thought die le.... He is going to shout n scream at me just like he did to his chefs... But he didn't!!! He somehow managed to push all the blame to those ppl he dun like!! wah piang~ I was like "THANK GOD"!!!!

Then today I kept walking ard the club, looking for this person , looking for that person.... Den at ard 4+, after I walked ard and finally stepped into my office! I heard "师父每年都会寄卡片来问候 五百张了算多不算多" I was SO HAPPY AND SO RELAXED!!!! And I can't stop smiling and move to the music! haha.... I dun remember myself being so happy when i heard 恒星的恒心 in the morning... Can u imagined how the whole day at the club can actually tensed me up? I just hope everyday will just pass safely and peacefully!

haha.. Back to the title of this entry!! Its 大长今 lah~ Yongqi highly recommended me this korean series.. At first, i must admit I was still rather sceptical! But after I watch the 1st 2 eps! I cannot stop!!!!!! I stayed up watching until 2am yesterday!!! Its really not like ANY korean drama shown on TV!! Its no love story! Its a touching and encouraging drama to watch!!! Now I finally understood why its SO popular in HK, Korea, TW etc...

This really made me realised something! You must really try everything in the world! Even if they are those you Believed you will not like! Cos you can never really come to understand it b4 you try... And when you are willing to make the 1st step of giving an attempt, do it with an open heart! Dun do it sceptically or do it as if somebody force you to.. Its good to have an opinion and mindset of your own, but its definitely not good to be obstinate... Ppl will not think that you are 有性格,有主见, they will just get annoyed...

toking about obstinate, 我和我最后的倔强 握紧双手绝对不放~ hahahha......

Back to 大长今 le....

Finished

I am now writing this blog entry from my office... Its really boring.. nothing for me to do... I just finished the long awaited Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I have been reading it from 330-now... finally finished le...

Since I got nothing to do, must as well write a blog entry about this book I just finished...

Well~ I somehow feel that the title did not catch the gist of the book. Afterall that Half blood Prince remained unknown for 95% of the book. And when its time to announce, it took only 1 sentence... This book, is really what the author mentioned... Its part one of a 2-part book... Just when all the adventures start to surface, the book just end.... I was quite disappointed about this. I was still thinking how come this book is so thin!!! Now I got my ans...

It isn't thin at all. I will be combined with Book 7 and it will be the longest. But then again, why must she do that? How I wish that Book 6 and book 7 will be completely different stories, so that I can read more... :( So now, I will have to wait for probably another 2 yrs before I know the ending of this beginning...

Anyway, I did not enjoyed this book as much as I did for 3, 1 or 4... I just felt that it is not as fast-paced. I did not cry like I did for 3, 4 and 5 thought there is one sad part... BUT I did enjoy the "love story" parts!!! Haha.. about Harry and Ginny, about Snape and Narcissa, Tonks and Lupin and especially RON AND HERMIONE!!!! Some of it weren't explicitly written but you can just feel the "thing" going on between these ppl!

Lastly, I seriously dun think this can be shot into a movie by itself. It will have to be combined with book 7. If not, I dun think it will make much sense. I seriously cannot imagine how old I will be by the time all the movies are out~

Ok~ since I got somemore time... Must as well lengthen this entry... hmm.. wat shall I write...? ok.. let me tell you abt my workplace... Today its "TAT" chef's off day... though I saw him in the morning and was very hostile towards him, he disappeared in the late morning... HEE~ Tmr will be my last time seeing him I hope... Cos on wed he will be on 2 weeks leave!!!
Today I had fried hor fun as lunch! Very nice!!! Got lots of beef and prawns... As usual, I din finish it... hmm.. nothing much le... just the fact that I had only been seriously working for 4 hrs... the rest of the time just read HP and surf net...

Wah~ Still got so much time!!! damn~ Ok~ Will write about my tat battle.. remember? "TAT" battle... I seriously think it will be over soon man!!! Well~ I haven't been thinking about it since hmm... forgotten when liao... Though I faced it on Sat... I tried my best to dodge.... But I can only confirm the ans after this Friday... Cos I will be facing it this Friday... I can only pray man~ Pray that all things will be controlled. Then again, it probably can only be over when term starts, when One incident happen. Only by then, I will declare that I've won ..... or lost....

Ok~ dun care liao.. still got 15 more min.. I am just going to leave... BYEBYE~

Just a little story to share.

Before I start my entry for the day, I shall comment a little on my day yesterday. Had a great time with my fellow s71 pals. It was quite short though... But I know we will meet very soon! And wanna thank some of them listening to my complaints abt that harassment that's going ard at my workplace~ Though I can't do anything about it, at least I am able to just grumble and complain to my friends~
One last thing to add about yesterday : Steph!! U really shocked me with your stomach capacity!!!!! O_0

Ok.. The proper entry... Today I am just going to share a story with you. A true story I heard from my pastor today. Here it goes....

It's set in Vietnam, during a time of wars and chaos. There was this little village girl who got pierced by some spears and was bleeding profusely. A doctor was quickly summoned. But he said he can't do anything much as this girl needed an immediate blood transfusion. So he turned to the other villagers for help. Being a French, he wasn't able to communicate with those villagers. So he just mimed to them, trying to get the message across. After he mimed, he waited to see if there were any volunteers willing to donate some blood. Then he saw this little boy raised his hand. This little boy was looking ard and put down his hand shortly after he raised it. Then looking ard again, he raised his hand again. Afraid that he might change his mind again, the doctor pulled him out from the midst of villagers and tested for his bloodtype, which happens to be suitable for the little girl. When the doctor started the transfusion between the little boy and little girl, the boy started crying and crying~ Confused and curious, the doctor went away to seek help from a local nurse, hoping to find out why is this boy crying so miserably... The boy said that he cried because he thought the doctor is transferring all his blood to the little girl and that he himself will die. Puzzled, the doctor went on asking if that is really the case, why did the little boy still volunteered himself? The little boy simply replied, "Because she is my friend".....

Do you think we are still able to find such friends now? Do you think you have a friend like this little boy??

For me, I am sad to say that I dun think I have such a friend. However I am proud to say that there is someone who did volunteered to die for my sins. His name is Jesus.

PS: Harry Potter and the half blood prince in progress...

hmm... today work was normal.... just that I find the adnormal chef more and more sick!!! I am starting to ignore him le....

Today I was very excited when time reaches 5pm... 30 more min to knock off! Cos I am going Noble House today~ To give my friend a treat for her 21st bday~ But the excitment kind of turn into a disappointment....

I specially ate only rojak for lunch today cos I thought I will be going for buffet at night! But~ When I reach Noble house, they tell me that buffet must have minimum 4 persons!!!!!!!! damn~~ I was really disappointed!!! Cos their buffet really very nice one wor~ Den bo bian, have to eat ala carte! I was still worried that it will be too expensive... But luckily my captain ( I am/was a waitress at noble hse) gave me recommendation... Ate things that I really like and are really nice!!! Everything turn out to be $85.50... But later.... She went to get a voucher for me... haha.. tat NKF one loh........ (can't believe I actually forgot to bring my own) Den got $25 discount!!! haha... so turns out to be only $60.50! Its within my budget! or rather, slightly below my budget!!!! kao~ I really want to say a BIG thank you to her!!!! Although the ala carte was very filling and nice as well, I must still return for the buffet!!!!!!! It's been abt 1 or 2 yrs since I ate le....... I intend to go nx week! Anybody wanna join me???

Ha~ Toking about my friend... You guys must be thinking its quite ex treating a friend at $60 rite? But I think its all worth it~ I known her for 14 yrs le....... My friend for the most years!!! I knew her on the very first day of Primary 1!!! Time really flies... And she really changed alot!! character wise~~ Today, we tok abt her workplace and how this lady named Laura is super comical and have a great sense of humour!!! I can't wait to see this lady....... She unleashed the humourours cell that had been hidden in my good friend for 14 years!!! So today was basically a laughing session! We laughed at the restaurant, laughed at the mrt station, laughed on mrt, laughed on bus... We just went on and on and on~~~

Well, I just want to say a very big thank you to her! She is call Adeline... Thank her for being with me throughout these 14 yrs~ How many ppl can have a friendship that lasted for whole 14 yrs at the age of 21?? I definitely believe we will have many many more 14 yrs ahead!!!
Thanks gal!!! ;D

Where shall I start?.... ok! with my work! Today I drove to work cos my ezlink card no $$ le..... forgot to go top up...... Work today was fine... Just that some of them kept chasing me ard to get their taxi claims...... and I really cannot stand the chef that called me n ling huey "dear dear''! Wah lao!! I seriously think I can sue him for harassment!!!! He will just snuck into the office then tok to you and den just anyhow tape ur shoulders or touch ur neck loh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really seriously think that he is not normal~ as in psychologically..... I am getting unfriendly towards him le! If he irritates me further, I shall just show my even blacker face!!!

Ok! enough of him! I shall talk about the GM!! The Hong Konger~ I bump into him today at the general office~ Den I just nod at him~ I wanted to greet him... but dunno how..... so just say Hi! Since he said Hi to me..... I thought it was quite inappropriate though... Apart from the friendly and charasmatic side, I saw the other side of him today... I saw him reprimanding an Ang Moh today.... I dunno wat position is that Ang Moh..... but the GM spoke to him in a very disapproving manner...... whew~ It can be quite scary....

Oh~ I forgot to mention.... actually today work was quite slack... nothing much to do cos I have been waiting for ppl to pass me some stuff so that I can get down to work.... So guess what I did the whole afternoon! haha..... Well~ give you a hint! Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince will be out this Sat 16th July!!!

I went surf all the sites regarding this new book!!! I went to forums, news site, JK Rowling's interviews etc.... haha. It really stir me to find out who will be the Half Blood Prince.... Seeing all HP fans scrutinizing all the HP books so far to come out with guesses as well as evidence to support their guesses!! i was like O_O!!!! They really SCRUTINIZE loh!!!!! They talked about the tiniest details!!! Read really deep into each sentences and asked JK Rowling lots of questions which I din even thought abt it!!! And most of these questions were classified as GOOD QN by JK Rowling herself!!! (meaning qns she cannot ans cos its related to the plot)! This surprises me even more!!! This just means that, although I have read all the books Nth times!! I still not inferring enough!!!

When I started reading HP, I did not thought of inferring anything at all! Cos I just had this impression that it is a teens book~ So dun have to use much of your brian!!! But clearly, I AM WRONG!!!! Its got far more depths than I imagined...... I am more and more impressed of JK Rowling and I really really felt stupid for thinking that HP is a childish book! From now onwards, I am going to read them even more times and read them more carefully and of course making MORE INFERENCE!!!

OK~ Back to my battle.... Its been quite 风平浪静 these 2 days!!! And I can only Thank GOD for it!! I am really thinking of it less and less... Really seems to me that this battle will end soon! And I can't wait!!! Apart from hoping the battle to end, I must also be clear of my feelings and emotions when it ends........ I hope that it will not be 不清不楚。。。Anyway, just pray hard that things will end in a quiet, peaceful way.... Such that no one gets hurt (including myself...) and everyone will be genuinely happy (especially myself...)

Battling!

Today is officiallly my 1st day at Singapore Island Country Club being an executive secretary (I realised its not call assistant) aka office girl. I thought today will be very hazardous cos ling huey is not with me... But things turned out to be quite ok! haha.... Still got lots of things to do. But I am starting to get the hang of it and things are much easier now! :) But of course must thanks to ling huey for clearing up the mess b4 she left.... and I was really sorry to call her up and kept sms-ing her to clear my doubts...
Work was fine.. But the ppl there.... erm...... haha.. i shall elaborate...

There is this 40+ senior chef who is really very very talkative! I appreciate him teaching me stuff... but he is really too noisy! When I want to end a conversation he just goes on and on and on... If not for a phonecall or someone asking for him or me, I think I will spend the whole day there "yah loh yah loh" "hahaha" "hmm! hmm!" Dun need to do my work liao!!! Then the things he says oso very weird... He is a totally weird person!!! Do you know how he address ling huey (n now me) ? He call us "dear dear" OMG~!~!~! I was totally grossed out can!!!!???
I shall keep my distance away from him... Luckily he will be on long leave starting next week!! Whew~ Just have to bear with him for a few more days...

There is another 30+ senior chef who is not as weird, better looking but very PR (public relation). He say they will speak to me in a different tone they speak to ling huey... cos ling huey very 斯文. So I replied saying "so you mean I very 粗鲁 lah?" Den he went on to say that no~ it just that I am more wild~ I was like -_-
W~I~L~D!!!!! what a word to describe me!!!! He still say he believed I am those type that goes to the beach alot and do sports! (he is basically saying that I am tanned!!! another -_-) Den I told him I dun like to do sports one loh.... (kao! I am so fat leh~ Do sport??) Den he very li hai! He did not feel a least bit paiseh that he "believed" the wrong thing~ He still carry on asking oh issit? den wat u like to do? I was like DIAO~ he really knows how to create topics man~
He is not a bad person but definitely, base on my observation, he is a very superficial person... So just smile at him all the time can liao... watever he say can just 听了就算了。。。

Next! My boss! The Executive Chef! He is a very very vulgar person man!!! all kinds of language!! I heard him speaking on the phone scolding some supplier... wah. really very shocked!! The words he used very VERY 狠毒!!! And I managed to see him cook today! Its definitely not easy to see him cook! Cos he usually cook on special occasions. He cooked specially for SICC's General Manager!!! well.... his "po-ing" skills oso not bad wor~ haha... The GM though in the late 40s (i think n a Hong konger I believe) is quite good looking wor~ very charismatic~ But maybe cos he is too casually-dressed, dun look like a GM. He "praised" me today for a report ling huey did. But of course I told him that it was ling huey who did it lah~ Den he went on commenting that my boss is a very difficult person to work with. But so far so good~ Hope it will remain like this till the end of the month!

Ha~ Up nx!! Remember I mentioned in my previous blog that I am going to try and get a SICC member to fetch me in/out of the country club? I was on time for the shuttle this morning so no chance to find out... Until I missed the shuttle in the evening! So I stood by the road pretending that I was waiting for the shuttle and not any members' car! So cannot look as if I got nothing to do mah... So I kept playing wif my hp, msging ling huey etc... I thought that those members will see me den will offer to send me out! BUT~~~ 5 cars passed me without even slowing down!!! I was like "huh~ I so unlucky and so unpopular meh?"
When I told ling huey about it, she says in order for those members to offer you a lift, you must look at them very hopefully one!!! I was totally """"-_-""""" I think I will never get the chance to get lifts liao loh... Its really too paiseh for me to look at those members trying to tell them "pls pls pls give me a lift!" Unless I really in a very big rush!!! If not... hai~ There goes my hope of getting a lift from a young, shuai and rich guy~ :(

Today's job really kept me rather busy... And I thought its good if it keeps it this way! So that I wun have time to think too much~ Although I still think about it on and off, the frequency wasn't as high as previous days! Thank GOD for this job once again~
Today, I fought yet another battle! It was a very short one..... But its the toughest so far~ When I saw it, I was on the verge of throwing myself under my blankets and sob :'( But I reminded myself "hey! this is just another battle!! Dun lose it! Be tough and strong to face it!!!!" Ok~ So I did! I faced it and tried to take control over it... There were incidents I almost lost the control but I still managed it well! I am now at a point of trying to end this battle! I am starting to withdraw~ And I am withdrawing very hard-heartedly!!! I kept reminding myself I must not 心软 or have any feelings attached! Becos I know if I do, the one that's going to hurt the most will be myself and nobody else!!! Although I already feel the pain now, I just have to 咬紧牙关 and everything will be over soon!!! (kao~ sounds as if I am in labour~)
But anyway, I can see this battle ending~ When it ends, I no longer have reasons to be hurt or sad cos everybody else will be happy...

这是一个充满爱的七月 :)

hmm~ I am really glad that something I had prophecise 2 yrs ago is finally coming true!!! hahaha~ I knew they were meant for each other!!! I am really so proud of myself! heehee... I shall continue to stand firm to my judgement. I am sure they will last for a very very long~~~ time!!

Ok~ now back to my own reality~ I am finally the only one left in the "core" that is unattached! Wat should I do?? haha... Am I just going to grab any guy that comes along the way? HA~ NO!!! I really felt happy for all my friends and feel no pressure at all! :) As long as they dun forget about me, this friend can le!!

I had a GREAT post-encounter class today!! And GREAT is the ONLY word to describe it!! I could really felt GOD speaking right into my face!!! Majority of the things that had been mentioned today at post-e really applied to those things that had been swirling in my mind these few days! I really just wanna say a BIG "Thank You" to my Heavenly Father!!!

Though I finally understood where my stand shall be, its still quite difficult to put them into actions! That's why I really felt like shit today... I went ktv with my camp's ppl... I am really struggling to remind myself where my stand should be!!! I was kind of stuck in the middle... Do you understand? Its like you know what is right, but you just dun feel like doing the right things! I am really now forcing myself to be firm on my grounds and should not be shaken further... Things that happened recently are really things I have to overcome to be a better Christian! And I know I am going to win this battle!!!!

Ha~ I know all of you reading these entries are blur~ I oso felt very vague myself! ha~ But wat to do? I am fighting a battle! If I disclose too much info, it just shows that I am losing it... This is the 1st time I decided to keep everything to myself! So do bear with me ok? I know its not gonna be easy, but its a trial for me! So just pray for me ba!!!!

Saturday, July 09, 2005

I slept at 830pm yesterday and woke up only at 9am. Was supposed to go for tuition but felt too tired. So i slept until 11am. Had my brunch after I woke up and went for cell meeting... I initially thought of just slacking at home and be away from all people. But was glad that I did not....

The moment I stepped out of house today, I just felt that I am going to breakdown any moment. I felt that I was in a 一触即发 state. I just felt that everything was not right!!!! The thing that has been bothering me just kept swirling in my mind... I believed that during worship at church today will definitely caused me to make a downpour...

During cell, I still wasn't very concentrating... When it's over, my cell leader wanted me to go for Xtreme (a special service for teens) together with some of my spiritual sisters. I did not want to at 1st..... But in the end still went... Just as they were preparing, I just went to one corner and sit down and tried reading my bible... I was super touched when Pastor Victor (a pastor that doesn't know me personally) came to ask if I was alright. I replied saying I was fine... Den he went to take a chair for me saying that the floor is quite dirty... Oh man~ I really felt SUPER touched!!! This man is worth my respect man~ Much more than some other pretentious pastors ard....
Pastor Victor had a talk on homosexuality at Xtreme. It's a little explicit I thought. And he was really funny! My mood did lighten abit after attending Xtreme.
One thing that hit me hard was that I really thank God for life, thank God that I am hetrosexual (the norm of society). God led me to understand that the homosexual ppl are really facing struggles much worse than the norms... So~ we hetrosexual really shouldn't complain too much!!!

Den its now the actual service. Surprisingly I did not even felt like crying today... I once again thank God for the great sermon today! Its really something that we all should remind ourselves in life. Be it a Christian or not... We should not live in shame and blame! God has a purpose for all of us.
I felt abit better after church and I thank God for all his blessings today~

Life is Unfair But GOD is Good!!!

1st Day at Work

wah~~ Its a terrible day at work!!! Everything was in a mess... Cos got so much things to do..... and so much things to learn... Since I dun have any fellow co-workers, I have to be really independent, which I think i am terrible at... Thanks to ling huey for her patience and 教导!!! If not for her, I would have really die there.....

Apart from the mess at work, other factors were great! Especially the food wise... In case you guys din noe, I am now working as a executive chef's secretary... haha... My office is just next to the kitchen!!! I get free food whenever I like!!! haha... Got chicken sandwiches and watermelon juice as breakfast, got seafood pasta and orange juice as lunch!!! What more can you ask for man??? Because of this reason, I din really mind when the HR told me that I wun be having any OTs and my pay is still only $6 per hr... The food I get everyday is definitely going to make-up with it!!! The other chefs and kitchen staffs are all so friendly!!! I am sure I am going to enjoy my nx one month there!

Another great characteristic about my workplace is that I get to see lots of rich ppl ard!!! For those who din noe again, I am working in Singapore Island Country Club! wahahha... I see lots lots lots of BIG and expensive cars all around! Ling huey told me that we can actually hitch rides from those members on our way in to work or on our way home! Cos its really far to walk into the country club... what ling huey told me was that, you just have to stand by the roadsides then the club members will just stop and offer you a ride in or out! If its along the way, they will send you further to the place you wanna go!!!

Well~ Things are not clearing up at all... I still very bothered by it...... damn~~

Trying to be a 双面人!

hey guys! I will stop posting my China trip journal for the time being. .. it will be back on and off..... Cos I need some place where i can really 发泄 for a while。

Firstly, Thank GOD for his wonderful blessing that I finally managed to find a job! Thanks to Ling Huey for the recommendation. It all fell into place perfectly.... All I can do is thank GOD... Also, thank GOD for keeping me busy this whole day.... If not i will be thinking of things i shouldn't again.......

Had a really great time with qp, wt, steph, celest n yx... Its been a VERY long time since we 6 had such moments.. too bad that steph came later.. If not, it will be more fun~ I had been toking craps and nonsense... I dunno if my friends felt it.... But I am really not quite the usual me... I tok more nonsensical stuff than usual......
But I was really REALLY happy!!! Glad that they like the presents... When I saw celest cry, I oso felt like crying.... But i must 忍. I scared my tears will not just be of joy.... I am oso happy for yx!!! Though I dunno the best way to show it..... But I really am..... I am oso happy that afterall, my friendship with yx is still of high torrent! I cannot be any happier to see all my friends being so happy and full of laughter! I thank all my wonderful friends for tolerating my horrible temper, character all these years... really... I really want to dedicate this song to u guys! Its definitely from my heart!! Not trying to be cliche at all!!

虽然你脾气坏 对待朋友又差 凸槌又更爱牵拖
佳在你遇到我 不爱计较的我 算你坏人有好命
我走路你坐车 你吃饭我洗碗 你被欺负我拼命
若为了爽到你 可以艰苦到我 因为 咱缘分不可散

有你 我才未孤单 有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若不爽 我是你的垃圾车 每天 听你的心声
有你 我才未孤单 有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若欢喜 我是你的垃圾车 每天 听你唱歌



Well~ As for why am I a 双面人, forgive me that I cannot say..... Though I know that those ppl/person involved will not read this... I just dun want my beloved friends to be worried for me... I am sure this is just a transition period. Everything's gonna be alright, tomorrow will be fine! Afterall~ misspeirong is a very strong girl right~? :) 兵来我挡,土来我淹!!!

Day 2 in Guang Zhou

Its basically a free and easy day... My Dad has to work, so I am left with my Mum, Grandma and brothers. We went to this Chinese restaurant where we went the day before. We sat at the exact same seats, served by the exact same ppl. The restaurant really not bad wor~ We ate Dim Sum for both days. I stil remember the waitress who showed us our way is really very pretty!!! She is the prettier version of A-sa of TWINS.

Ok.. After lunch (no breakfast cos by the time I am awake, there is no time for it le.)... we just went walk walk nearby... Den scully I need to go toilet! But i refuse to go to their public toilet. So we had to rush home. After that, my mum and grandma complained that they were tired and did not want to walk anymore. So, I decided to go explore Guang Zhou city by myself. I wanted to go to this Big shopping centre my Dad mentioned but I did not know the exact place. So I just start walking in the direction I deem correct. Wah KAO~ I walked for like 30min, I still can't see it... But luckily along my way, I came to this other shopping centre. So I went in and look around. Still manage to get myself a pair of shoes there wor~

I spent like 30 min in it as well.. I took about another 10 min trying to figure out which exit I should take. By then, my legs are really really tired! And started having blisters.... but I still refuse to give up! I die die oso must reach that Big shopping centre. Finally~ after walking for another 5 min, I Found IT!!! Its really big~ Its like our Suntec City... There are all sorts of apparels, brands in it. But I did not get anything from there cos its not worth it lah~ They all cost the same as it is in Singapore, so no pt... (no wonder its less crowded than the shopping centre i went just now... I remember I went into Esprit and 6 staff looked at me loh... There are no other customers apart from me... They are all so free!!!) All I bought was Beard Papa~ In SG, 1 Beard Papa puff cost $2. But there, it only cost RMB6. Its $0.80 cheaper! So I bought 5... heehee... always she bu de eat in Sg, I want to have my fill in China! hahaha...

After exploring the above 2 shopping centres, I really dun feel like I am in China, I felt more as if I was in HK. But the moment I stepped out, everything just da hui yuan xing. Just when I was abt to get a cab home, something stupid happened again.

I told the cabbie where I wanted to go, he actually asked me to go opposite. I was like WTH~~ Wat's wrong if you just make a U-turn?? They drove like nobody's business and now the cabbie is actually telling me he dun wanna make a U-turn!!!!? Too upset, I decided not to get a cab in the end!! I just walk all the way back to my Dad's place!

That's about all for my Day 2.... We had dinner at a Si Chuan restaurant. Its really cheap beyond my imagination... Food in China may not be VERY delicious. But you can trust it to be VERY cheap!!!

From Singapore ----> Guang Zhou

Hi Guys!! After 2 weeks, I am finally back! I felt so refreshed after my camp. And had a much more pleasant mood (though it could be better). So I decided to start blogging again~ Let's start off from where I left the other time.....

Day 1 : On Board CZ 352

Woke up at 6am and took a cab to airport. Lots of gan chu when I saw the gates where Mayday went through. I went walk around the whole area and took some pics.
On board the Southern China Airline, I am totally er dao!!!! The plane is damn old can~~? And its 3-3... Wah Piang!!!! This kind of plane should only be used for short distance like KL loh....... Not for a flight that is 2900KM!!! And the facilities is totally YUCKS! No inflight entertainment at all!! No headphones for you!!! The service of the crew is equally bad~~ They basically just shout at the passengers...... But I can understand this cos they are serving mostly their own kind of people!!! Yet another bad pt!! My fellow "plane-mates" -- seriously, after travelling with them, I no longer thinks that Singaporeans are kiasu~ my dear "plane-mates" beat us Hands-down!!

After an almost 4 hr flight, we finally reached 广州新白云国际机场. Its an airport that only came into operation last August. So its really huge and nice...(of course Singapore Changi Airport nicer lah~)

Saw my dad and he realised that I had a black face (I already tried my best to hide it le...) I said "no lah~" But actually in my heart I was like "What am I doing here, in the country I hate most!!!??"

The air quality in that country is terrible~~ There is haze in the air ALWAYS~ I really regretted not bringing some mask over.....

Up next is the horrendous traffic! Nobody seems to be following the traffic rules!! There are pedestrain crossing only that no one bothers whether its Green or Red. There are zebra crossing only that cars do not stop or slow down unless there are Already ppl standing/walking on it! There isn't any road a driver cannot go. There isn't a turn that is forbidden. Its madness!!! After a few days there, I learnt that crossing a road in China is an extremely concentration-consuming task. Its good training for all your 5 senses.

That's about all for Day 1 in Guang Zhou. I am still in awe of my Dad's condominium. Its really very very nicely furnished!!! Not only that, it is located in the CBD area of Guang Zhou, near to a train station, near to dozens of restaurants. Can you imagine having a condo in the middle of Shenton Way? How much would that cost man!!!???
