Boredom is my enemy

Oh my god.. I can't believe it myelf that I have not met up with anyone for the whole goddamn week and I have been staying at home.. Doing practically nothing.

Do you know how boring that can be? I am so so so bored to tears, bored to death, bored to the core of my bones. So bored that all my leg hair dropped.

Sian..

Yesterday, I was home after work and then I check mail and then.. I stared at the Yahoo homepage... blankly. I was thinking what to surf and what to research for. Nothing!

Then I tot of reading but I got no mood too read. My family was watching TV but I dun like the TV show. So I just sit there and stare at the TV. Boliao leh, the TV show.

At this point of my life, I realised that I need to do something. Last time, I was bored like this too and I decided to take up opera. Now, I am bored again. I am going to pick up something else. I was thinking of going back to my French classes but they are very expensive. Trop cher pour moi.

I am stuck at the bottleneck of my life.

Yesterday I downloaded mIRC. After like so many years of not using mIRC, I am now using it again to chat and kill time. So last night I chatted to like 12+am... And time flies when I chat boliao things. Think my circle of friends too small. I need to expand my circle of friends lor.

Company Dinner

The day I came back from JB, I went home chop chop got ready to go for company dinner. It's actually a dinner for my department only. For this dinner, i have to contact all the 22 inspectors and try to find a perfect time where everyone can make it.

In the end, most ppl can't make it and some ppl just dun like to attend company dinner. So ended up only about 15 ppl came including all the admin staff.

Shawn and Patrick. I think Shawn is the youngest inspector in our company. Our inspectors are mostly above 40, uncle type.

Azman and Shah, we were at the Hyatt Hotel, Straits Kitchen. They serve local dishes like chicken rice, laksa, prata.. all those. Some inspectors do not want to come becuz they think the food is cheap, can be found at Hawker Centres. It's different lor. The cooking was very nice and they got lots of ex dishes like big prawns, crabs and scallops.

Philip and Roger, they are good inspectors, never give me problems. Some inspectors very irritating lor. Always give me problems, give me headache only.

This is me and my colleagues. Well, May, the one in the middle is my manager who I always mention to you. She intro all those diet pills and all those beauty tips for me lor. See, I told you she not fat but she is taking reductils now.

After the dinner, we went to KTV for awhile but I was half dead cuz I just returned from JB. At around 11+, I told them I wanna go home liao.. They are ang moh style and prefer to sing ang moh songs.. i sing chinese songs a bit weird la. So I decided to leave. In the end becuz I decided the leave, the whole group decided to leave also. Fortuantely, one of the inspectors sent us home, i dun need to go and find taxi. I will be dead lor.

Dinner

We had a Wei lao hui yesterday for the participants of Maha. Ang told us to dress up for it but I forgot to. It was raining so badly, no mood to dress up la.. Will get wet.

The dinner was scheduled at 7.30pm. May wanted to do some last minute christmas shopping so we all met up at around 6.30pm at City Hall to shop awhile. I dunno if I should buy x'mas gifts also. Abit no mood leh.. But I do like shopping tho...

At around 7.30pm, we met up with YL and my mum to head for the restaurant at Purvis street.

Our dearest prof is already there and also our dearest Ang. She dressed up for the dinner.

Ang of cuz sat with the big shots. We the small shots sat together.

Small shots, YH is pointing at me.. screaming "Mad or wat?! Dun take my photo lor!" May on the other hand was gossiping I think.

YL seldom appear on my blog, aiya give a chance to star here. Woo hoo~ She was as usual, talking and talking but look at May. Think she more interested in smsing lor. Poor YL talking to the wall.

This is ang, yah i know I was very fan over her words but that day YH started taking photos with her so I just joined in the fun but so sorry, i got no make up on my face thus revealing my ugly scars. oops.

After the dinner, we wanted to head for PP but then it was raining like hell and Ang say go kopitiam drink kopi first. So we all went to kopitiam while the rest of the COI big shots left. When we just sat down, WZ and Ang started arguing over Xi Fan and Ji Fan. To Ang, Xi fan and ji fan sounded the same and wz could have bought the wrong food for her if she mistaken ji fan as xi fan.

WZ arguing with her hands flying around.

Arguing still going on and Ang is having a headache.

Ang: Xi fan and Ji fan are the same!
WZ: No they are not... one is 'J' the other is 'X'..

Ang pekcekly looking at WZ.Look at this.. what is this hand trying to do?

Wah lau eah.. Taking photo.. Later Ang zam you one leg give you diao bia ok... YH trying to take a photo of Ang very pekcek over Xi and Ji.

Then they heckcare the argument and started taking photos.. Mad or wat?

Then I joined in the 'Mad or wat?' action and took photo together with they 2... hahaha...

After the kopi break at the kopitiam, susan sent us home. We wanted to go PP but it was raining and May was busy smsing so we dropped the idea.

JB Trip

Aiyoh.. mad or wat... So many things to blog so many that I think I will take ages to finish blogging lor.. Mad liao.

Ok Think I start off with the JB trip while it's still fresh in my mind.

I attended the opera conference in the morning and May and YH are supposed to join us but they very good. Fly aeroplane and didn't go watch lor.

They arrived at the musuem at about 3pm lor. By that time I have already watched several speakers' speech. Actually I kinda enjoyed the speeches and I do learn some stuff from them. But I think in order to understand their speeches, you will need to have some basic knowledge on opera. If not you will catch no ball, especially those speakers from China. They talked about alot of chim stuff.

During the break, I saw YH they all and I decided to skip the Pan Yue Hong's performance and Uncle's speech to go JB with them. It was a big sacrifice. Bo bian la, they want to avoid the jam.

We arrived in JB at about 5pm, check in to the hotel, then went to eat. Very sinful. Ate alot of sinful things and of cuz got eat YH's favourite xia po. The xia po actually taste like prawns lor and the shell so big, the meat so little. I sinfully ate 2 xia po, stingray, otak and vegetables.

Or mi tuo fo...

So sinful.

After that we happily go shopping. We shop and shop and shop but we didn't buy alot of things. We are quite fussy when it comes to shopping for clothes. We want CHEAP and NICE. It's very hard to find the CHEAP and NICE ones.

After shopping for awhile, bought some tops and hair bands, we went to KTV. Sing sing sing sing sing... until 1:30am. Then we got back to the hotel.

May's usual practice is to order room service wheneve she stay in hotel. Well, you can do that in JB but not in SINGAPORE lor. It will be damn bloody ex. So we ordered room service and while waiting for the food to come, we do not allow YH to fall asleep. So me and May keep disturbing her and May even asked YH to massage for her. Yet that YH bo sim anyhow press press. May keep kping that YH is pressing the wrong area and it was not shiok.

May is very fussy lor, she cannot compromise to sleep with us so halfway thru, she woke up and moved to a single bed (there was a single bed and a double bed). She got fussy requirements like the feet cannot be under the blankets. Unfortunately, YH keep tugging the blanket and May think it was too hot to sleep with us. She mad la, who ask her to wear the bath robe. She so excited to see the bathrobe that she decided to wear them to sleep.

Next morning, May was the first one to wake up and she started her usual kping so as to wake me and yh up. Me and YH were dead lor. Tired like hell. Yet she non stop kp at us until we bo bian. We tell her shut up but she wont.

Ki siao lor, she wanted to eat the hotel breakfast and she will sai us jit ba if she din manage to eat it. Breakfast will end at 10am so me and YH bo bian, have to company this hua dan eat her hotel breakfast. After we woke up, May stopped her kp.. finally.. I think she make a perfect alarm clock.

After eating breakfast, we faster go shopping. No time already. I still got to return to SG by afternoon cuz I got company dinner again at night.

YH go cut her hair while me and May go shopping. May didn't buy lots of things leh and she very buey gam wan lor. Aiyah. we will go again la but go to cheaper shopping centres PLEASE.
The things there at City Square can be bloody ex. I told May we should go to Bugis Village lor. Cheaper.

After shopping for awhile, we went back to the salon where YH was cutting hair and to our HORROR, she was GONE!

My god.. We lost YH!

So May called her and immediately she kp that she smsed May but she did not reply and she got problems calling May. Poor YH was waiting for our call.

Yah, YH got a new hair cut but seems like the rest of the troupe, after seeing her just now, did not realise that she cut her hair. YH hated her new hairstyle but I thought she looked rather feminine leh.. hee hee.. Aiyah.. quite cute mah. Dun hiam lor.

We shopped for awhile more and went back to hotel to check out. We wanted to take tacxi to da bao xia po for YH but at this critical moment it started raining cats and dogs. Damn.

We have a change of plans to go to the causeway instead but the cab driver refused cuz of the jam. He decided to drop us at some ulu place. Wah liew..

It was raining like hell lor and we do not want to go to some stupid ulu place. So someone suggest to go city square.. after awhile, someone suggest again to book a cab back to SG. So we told the cab to go the the Singapore taxi stand.

While getting stuck in a jam, we took photos of each other to kill time. Hahaha.. See YH's new hair style...

We arrived at the Singapore taxi stand and the counter guy tell us that we have got to wait for a Singapore cab to come in then bargain the price with him. He will then send us all the way back to our home. Great. Save the hassle of checking thru the customs. Woo hoo!

And so, we sat down and waited..

and waited..

and waited..

and waited..

We took photos of each other again to kill time...

We started to get restless..

YH started to wander off look for food at this mama shop. May tell me faster take photo of YH looking for food again... and blog it. hahaha.. bad right..

You can see that May is SB sian here. She and YH both commented that this photo look as if that May kana caught in Geylang and is avoiding the camera from the reporters. Hahaha... I dun want to tarnish your reputation lor may... But you said it yourself.

Finally, we managed to book this private car to send us all the way thru the customs to each of our homes for $50. I tot the price was reasonable as we do no need to queue up for the customs and we can sit thru the whole journey. Cool. I told them that since there is an option to sit thru all the customs, never am I going to take a bus back to SG again.

YH, who is a qian jin xiao jie like me, agreed.

May, who is the professional maid, sort of agreed but I think she prefer to save $$.

Back in SG... still raining like hell...

Today... still raining like hell.. My god.. so super sian...

D n D

Just had my Dinner and Dance yesterday. It was quite a nice dinner and we had it at IndoChine, Bar Opiume. I specially went to curl up my hair that day for the dinner and I love the curls! Unfortunately, I can't make them permanent as I still need them for opera.

Took this pic outside as the Bar Opiume was pretty dark. I want to take a photo of the curls! But too bad la. I never bring my camera. So can only use HP to take lor.

See Bar opiume is actually quite a nice place. The deco is very cool and the ambience was good. I am not a drinker but I am trying to be one. My manager forced me to drink some white wine. I dun like leh. Too sour. I prefer cocktails. So she recommended me this Lychee Martini which I thought was kinda nice.

Our dinner was Vietnamese food. I love it! I like especially those rice paper spring rolls. Healthy and Yummy!

Then we had some games and the MC was a good. He was funny and made lots of silly comments, liven up the atmosphere~ There was a lucky draw too and the grand price was a 27" LCD TV. I didn't win any lucky draw lor. I am just so suay. There were other great prizes like Digi cam 7.1 px with a printer included and a Nokia phone and a MP3 player. But I never win anything! Suayz.

The whole fuction ended at around 10:30pm. Quite early in my opinion but I got my own appointment after the DnD la. Hee hee...

BBQ

That time remember YH blogged about the bq at my place. Yah, I got take some photos but that time I didnt have my bluetooth so I can't blog about it. Now that the BT is back, I am going to post up some photos too!~

We were all happily bbqing and you can see May at the pit there bbqing her favourite crabstick. She want to make the crabstick crispy and bloated. After much hard efforts, she finally made some and ask our dearest richard to put them on a plate. Unfortunately, Richard decided to act smart and used the tongs to hold up about 7 crabsticks and walked to the table to put them on a plate. Just plain lazy in my opinion. He could have took a plate to the pit instead.
And so, accident happened.He dropped all the crabsticks on the floor! Frantically he wanted to quickly pick up the crabsticks without May noticing him but it was too late. May already saw and she screamed at the top of her voice.

"BALA!!!!!!"

Then she started scolding Bala upside down.

That is May, scolding Bala. Bala was still trying to pick up the crabsticks.

Poor May. And so, she got to bbq the crabsticks all over again!~

Then unfortunately, another accident happened. The pit caught fire. Everyone started to panick and tried to distinguish the fire by fanning it furiously.

I took this photo when the fire was gone but you can see Richard still trying to fan the fire. Then he picked up all the chaota chicken wings from the pit to give the rest to eat!
These are the chaota wings. EEEEeeee... eat liao will kana cancer lor.

Group of ppl eating happily. Forgetting all woes for the moment. Haiz.

It started raining and everyone started packing up. See everyone busy clearing the stuff. The cake for my sis was not cut yet and so we went up to cut the bday cake~



My sis very happy cuz she got 2 cakes! hahaha

Fire Drill

Today we were informed that there will be a fire drill. Rather suay as today is a busy day. My partner was gone for a workshop so I got to cover her work. Tired like hell. So around 9.30am, the fire alarm screamed and we still dilly dally in the office. I still drink some more tea before heading downstairs.

Slowly, we walked down the stairs from our 9th floor office. We were supposed to head for the carpark near to the Carribean Condo. Along the way, there was sea breeze lightly blowing at us. So cooling. Listening to the sea waves splashing onto the rocks..

We were walking along this passageway towards the carpark. I dunno what the guys in front were pointing at but I think they must be pointing at the cable cars tower..

Then I saw this harpoon gun to my surprise. I don't expect to see a hapoon gun on Keppel Bay lor. I tot they only exist on Sentosa? A new discovery yo.

Then the ppl all crown in this carpark to take attendance. It'sgoing to rain! My god and they are still not done with the fire drill..

Meanwhile, took a photo of this Carribean condo. I think it's quite a nice condo.. After awhile, we were allowed to go back. So we made our way back, passing by the harpoon gun and passing by the sea side. Back to office to work. so sian...

Fussy me

I am a virgo and virgos are said to be very perfectionist. I dunno if I am one. Sometimes I am not so perfectionist leh. I dun ask for alot but then sometimes I do silly things just to make things perfect. One good example.....

I was looking at some documents and I saw this file fastener like this..
One side is longer than the other side. Wah liew.. Cannot tahan leh. Why one side is longer? Like that not balance. So I will adjust it.

Like this, both sides are equal long. Hahahaa..

I felt much comfortable after adjusting it. Hahaha..

Sorry for wasting your time to read this boliao post! hee hee

Dressing up?

Amai keep commenting that recently I was very busy and that I seldom online liao. Haiz, actually by right I should be quite free after a major performance but somehow by left, I am like very occupied. Busy par toring la.

Recently I became more and more vain leh.. Aiyo.. bought clothes.. accessories.. etc. Actually ever since I learnt opera, I became more and more sloppy. Can't be bothered to dress up since I am only going for rehearsals and there are no yandaos at COI. So everytime I just sloppily go lor.. and I realised that May also became like that. Drop standard liao. Can't be bothered to dress up for rehearsals. Last time I not like that one leh..

And the worse thing is rehearsals always falls on Saturday and Sunday and these are the only 2 days which I got time to slowly dress up. If I can't be bothered to dress up on sat and sun and I got no time to dress up during the weekdays for work.. that will mean that I am not dressing up at all. I will look like Auntie.. wah lau eh.. cannot like that leh.

I look at my wardrobe and realised that all my pretty dresses are collecting dust. Kinda sad. I wanted to wear those but thinking of having rehearsals.. like no mood to wear also.. Sian.. Sometimes I just heckcare and dress up for rehearsals and ppl will be like.. "wah.. miko today want to go where??"

hahaha..

everyone ask and ask lor.. but actually not going anywhere lah.. just want to dress up that's all. Cant go on slacking like this.. I am 24 years old leh.. not 42 lor... dammit.
