28th-Aug-2009 08:05 pm - my week

8pm on friday, i'm still sitting in office. i m actuallie somewhat done for the wk, juz waiting for papa to pop by to pick me.

monday i was in business attire taking the train westwards from Kembangan. the feeling came back. nostalgic. things have changed certainly, i also know tt it wldnt be like b4. previously i cldnt be bothered to listen to the radio on my mp3 player, cos i noe once the train enters the tunnel after kallang i wld have to change to mp3. it's different now. i m so used to listening to the 2 cheerful bubbly DJs on the morning show, i opted to keep it. 

the train reached the usual stops, in seq, of cos! what a journey it had been. i mean, the past 2yrs in tt direction and not the train ride tt special day. 

sigh. 

i reached ORL. once again more memories came back, it felt like juz a while ago, Jason, Hsien Hoong, Jonathan, Alexander and myself were fooling around in the training room and in the toilet and along the isles of lvl 2. even the buffet lunch was served juz outside the training room. we had to go back and be sleepy listen to all the introduction tt CS wanted us to hear.

no. 26months have already passed by. what have i achieved? what did i do to my life?

on another note, i had been pretty disciplined the past wk. i wasnt too confident of the cello homework songs my teacher prescribed and i practised everyday (:

at least cello is therapeutic. am feeling jaded. pretty jaded. luck n thank heaven and even god/buddhas (lol), no problem in the family n heatlh - oh... i havent ran since the 21km race on 16aug... yikes lazy tang.

still jaded.

24th-Aug-2009 11:10 pm - upset
cello

i was kinda upset today.

i went to ORL (its tt building above Citylink Mall with which u have to get on the escalator to go to Marina Sq) today. i was advised by the ORL guard that I ought to get a ORL pass since i was active there, albeit only for the day.

blur blur, i found my way to level 4 the security office. i told the guard, i'm stationed in ORL for half a day, can i get an ORL pass please?
ok, he said. he took my pass, took out my ORQ pass and gave me a used pass with 2 chips that grants access to both ORL and ORQ. 我的小黄!he confiscated it!!! got feeling one OK, 小黄has been with me since the day i joined CS! 26months 13days!

maybe it is destiny, i quote Sir Alex Ferguson. that it was given to me in ORL, and it got taken back in ORL.

my ex-supervisor says that its a sign. the guard gave me the ORL pass because i was to stay there - i went for the interview n didnt do too badly nor too well. we'll see in the next 10days?

haha if it really is then it is a wicked act of fate. or they want me to keep the access passes of 3 buildings as a keepsake of 堂仔曾经到此一游? i dunno. i dun dare to look too much into things.

anyways, heres the SGD20 note i mentioned:

15th-Aug-2009 12:02 am - 那些女孩教我的事
ts1
要不是你让想念猖狂打破天窗
我不会发现枕头上的荒凉
以为你就是故乡
却变成我的流浪
谁的傍晚是谁的天亮

十九八七六十六亿人同时狂欢
五四三二一个人倒数孤单
回忆的拥挤广场
假装你还在身旁
就像你最爱依赖我的肩膀

第一行诗的狂妄
第一首歌的难忘
第一次吻你的唇你的倔强
第一颗流星灿烂
第一个天真愿望
第一个诺言美丽的荒唐

你教我爱的善良
你教我恨的野蛮
你教我忘记该忘伤心太伤

那些你教我的事
让思念更苦更长
只想问想念的 想念的 想念的 你怎么样

爱情是信仰或只能是旅途风光
那女孩带我漫游一次天堂

你教我怎么爱上
却没教怎么遗忘
让我的阳光都变成了泪光

my favourite line...how can i forget 3rd January...

11aug - old liao. 27 liao. received many greetings on MSN, FB and SMS of cos. kinda disappointed that my respected and loved elders/seniors namely Keng and Lucy cldnt make it to Lunar (:

i left home a bit early in search of the mystical pair of pants that wld match the Versace (WOW, way too atas for me, seriously) jacket my uncle gave me. not brand new, sth he bought n yrs ago. took me 5mins at bugis to know that there wasnt any fabric tt was near. probably need another visit to the tailor?

met gabby and wen for dinner. it was deja vu n nostalgic to return to ma maison at Bugis. 2yrs since gabby treated us cos of her internship. lol and for the 2nd time i went there i got free meal again wahaha~ food was gd.

after tt we adjourned to Lunar. stevie and catherine, AS USUAL, alwayz on time n super early. love these 2 pple. thats all 5 of us. play some dice, talk cock, sing song, listen song, see pole dancer without pole... uncle thomas n uncle jan came... they gave me an angbao~ :P

it was a simple night, no harsh drinking. good. very good.

 

12aug - lunar bdae. so qiao hor? we had dinner at East Ocean. it was a v expensive atas dinner but the dishes were good. pics to follow (: thankew mama for the big treat.

9aug - went to uncle thomas place 1st thing in the morning to help pack. he brought me to lunch at capella. its a new resort/hotel at Sentosa. pretty lovely place for a holiday getaway.

fantastic lunch, even though i had the club sandwich, with beer :P and sparkling water. too atas life. not used to it.

came home, tired out, even though i didnt think i reallie do much other than wiping books and taping cardboard boxes? oh yes, we did move stuff to the shop. i told uncle thomas and uncle jan abt my predicament, uncle thomas was happie i can help him out in December. owells, probably to make back some $ from the expected spending in HKG.

steamboat for dinner. not the mixed kind, but one whole promfret fish steamboat. was the soup too sour because of the new bottle of sourplums or my mood?

10aug - nothing happened. i went for a run at ECP at 330pm. as i ran i asked myself is it too late to regret my actions? went home quick shower and i reached early to meet the CO folks at Paulaner for dinner. 1for1 as usual on a pub hol, but we missed the band again. >.<

i sent them home as i drove. why, y Marina Sq, y Paulaner, y Flyer, y Esplanade, y ORL bus stop, y Geylang , y Aljunied?
