Birthday

Happy Birthday? I wouldn’t say this year birthday was really a happy one. 2 years after my 21st birthday, it’s like any other normal day to me when it comes to 23th birthday a day ago. Ever since that eventful birthday which had been made possible by Dearie, my parents and friends 2 years ago (which is my first and only birthday party I ever had), I would have expect the subsequent birthday to be NORMAL. Normal in the sense that there isn’t really much to look forward to. Apart from the fact that I do get to have friend acknowledging this special day for me, my family wishing me and of course, Dearie.

Imagine eating instant noodles all by yourself on your birthday. Imagine traveling out to eat dinner alone. I spent that so called special day on my own. Any other normal day, if I were to do the same thing, it’s considered a blessing because it’s a day away from work. BUT, because I hold some hopes, some hopes in thinking that I’m going to truly enjoy myself with all the wishes and present I’ve received from those who still remembered this special day of mine, plus the fact that my birthday this year is coincidentally a public holiday, which I thought I really ‘tan deo’ (in hokkien).

First and foremost, I thought this would be a very special birthday when my colleagues all sprung me a surprise when my senior suddenly ordered me into the room, lecturing me nicely so as to get into the mood. Suddenly, everyone was out of the office. I didn’t find anything amiss until a birthday cake suddenly pop out held in the hand of one of my colleagues, only then I knew I’m being fooled by my colleagues. Nevertheless, this thoughtful moment by them made me feel that this birthday is a wonderful one. Of course, not forgetting me receiving my very first present from one of the remembered person in my life – Da Jie Jie, when she together with Dearie, sprung me my first birthday surprise.

Of course, my friends never forget me and they never once will as always. They took time out to celebrate for me. I chose the venue and we really had a great time feasting @ Sakae Sushi. It’s great hanging out with them and thanks to them, I no longer need to carry a bag which is more appropriate for outing rather than to work, given my office wear. Thanks to Don, Jon, JJ, Gav.

The next two days are the days I’m looking forward to. However, due to unforseen circumstances, plans changed. My family celebrated my birthday with dinner @ Cafe Cartel instead of the long awaited Fish n Co. Where on my birthday itself were spent all alone. Imagine eating instant noodles and having to travel outside to buy your own dinner...but i suppose with hope and expectation comes disappointment.

Of course, not forgetting my hamsters! Their birthday falls under the same week of my birthday. It's been a year since i brought them back to their new home. I have to say i have been feeling guitly towards them. Especially towards MiuMiu. He now has 2 lumps on his body but yet nothing can be done as the vet has said it's most likely due to the poor genes left to him by his parents. Poor him...Sometimes, i really think is he really enjoying what he's doing now..

I promise them a treat soon and i'm going to do it right after the 'thunderstorm is over'....soon soon..

My Birthday's Nothing

A year older but it's really nothing much....just like any other normal day.

Meanwhile, don't be too sad, Dearie. I'm here for you...

Thank You Da Jie Jie!

It totally caught me in a surprise. I totally didn't expect Da Jie Jie to still remember my birthday. I'm touched, indeed touched. I'm puzzled why Dear keep checking my shirt size the day before. It's weird, very weird. I thought she wanted to buy me a shirt, but instead, it's Da Jie Jie who wanted to....

Just one more working day and i'll be hitting a great weekend. Pass this weekend and i'll be a year older, so are my beloved hamsters, MiuMiu and Shoobing. But Miu Miu seems sick which affect me abit. I'm worried, yet i feel so helpless. What's even worse is that i've got to wake up at 4 plus in the morning later on to help out in Changi Airport. A total of 180 passengers to check in, total crazy shit. I wonder how will i survive tomorrow. Think tomorrow is a long day.

Had a great day with you, Dear. Muacks!

Random

Everyone has been busy, so busy i couldn't think of anyone who can spare some evening time to catch free movies with me. If you think i'm wrong, do let me know and you'll get to go movie with me for FREE! Movie's called Rock N Rolla in GV. But do note that the review isn't that great, so DO NOT BLAME ME if you really spare that precious time and in the end, realise it isn't worth your time. But doesn't really matter since it's FREE..i still do hope i'll be able to recover fully to catch this movie as well

Has been sick since Thursday. I really hate sore throat. The feeling of swallowing be it food, water or even your saliva is a torture. Simply can't help but keep feeling and be reminded of the uncomfort and pain. My bout of sickness always starts with sore throat. The next to follow would be the flu and it bounds to make me feel as though i'm in hell. Somehow, the flu medicine would make me drowsy the whole day, no matter how many hours of sleep won't help..I must watch my diet these few days if i want to enjoy my feasting come next week when i'm another year older.

Have been making plans and realise not only i'll be feasting but i'll also be spending a bomb on just eating alone in the spans of 4 days next week. Still, it's a yearly affair, so why not. Sakae Sushi, Fish n Co, Kublai Khan and of course, not forgetting my secret recipe cakes...yummy!

I'm hooked on Hong Kong Dramas. I used to think more of Hong Kong movies rather than drama. Rather, i'm seldom a fan of drama because it's frustrating and tiring to catch episodes and episodes. But no longer do i have those mindset. Right now, it's fun catching episodes after episodes. It's as though i've something to look forward to. But seriously, if only i owned the whole series, i bet i'll watch the whole series within a day or two. Anyone has any Hong Kong drama to lend or recommend?




I'm in love with this biscuits. It's similar to the Hello Panda under the same company 'Meiji'. But right now, i'll prefer it over Hello Panda because it's really much nicer than Hello Panda. Much because of the hard and more crispy biscuits shell. The chocolate filling is more or less the same as Hello Panda's. I've one right in front of me right now, but i have to watch my diet if not, my sore throat might just worsen again. REn!!!!!

An OFF Day Wasted

I still thought today will be a very fulfilling day because i'm on OFF. Away from the office = no worries, no stress, no troubles, no nasty customers, no irritating phone call. BUT, my laziness got the better of me yet again. Worse enough, i realised i forgot to collect my diploma certificate when i'm on my way to meet Dearie for dinner.

Only a week left before i can declare myself a year older, but i'm starting to show signs of falling sick. It always start with my throat. So i better down gallons and gallons of water before i really do fall sick.

That earlier phone call i receive from my colleagues certainly didn't make me feel better. The way my company works really bring down new employees morale. Imagine them deploying the way of 'you only know where you went wrong only when you did something wrong'. In another words, you will first need to get scolding for doing something which you don't even know it's wrong before you actually know it's REALLY wrong. Total rubbish, no wonder my company has seen a high numbers of quitters since donkey years ago. I'm still hanging in there meanwhile because it's not that tough for me and i quite enjoyed myself there, except for the way they work.

Seriously looking forward to tomorrow......

Tedious Days Ahead

Sick. My irritated nose is hinting to me that i'm going to get flu soon. I actually thought that the past few days of mild flu isn't going to continue but it seems like something worse is coming.

Lesson totally sucks today. Business Statistics is a killer. Anyone has got any idea what the hell is that? I'm totally nuts about what the lecturer is even trying to go through, my mind is even in a total blank state after lunch time. Somehow, we human beings often lose the war to the digestion of yummy food, increasing the rate of failure to concentrate.

Work has been tremendously over-whelming. But i guess stress does help motivates me abit. Seriously, stress hasn't been a good friend in my company, especially when one and a half year ago from the time i join until now, there hasn't be a single person who passed the probation of 3 months. Not because they were not up to the mark but because they quit even before they reached the 3-month mark. Rumoured has it that there is already a total of more than 15 people. I certainly hope i'm not one of them, especially after knowing what's happening and what IS GOING TO HAPPEN to Singapore is months to come. We can certainly expected unemployment rate, finiancial crisis and also, my pockets burnt of course.

Actually, i'm not really looking forward to my birthday. Especially after i know how tedious it's going to be, not on me but Dear. Thanks for everyone making the effort to celebrate my birthday and i very much appreciate it - you guys colour my life.

My sudden thought of whipping up a good dish really make me look forward to this weekend. That is of course, provided i endured this expectedly difficult week, especially when i've got to work on Saturday. Sad!!

Haircut, Movie and Dinner

Life is so unpredictable. The news brother brought to us yesterday made me feel that life is indeed unpredictable. You never know when is going to be the last sentence you are going to say. You never know when is going to be the last time you talked or ever seen your parents or loved ones. The fact that that Private was so well and alive as described by Bro made everything seem so impossible. It's just the night before he turned in that he appeared fine and who would have thought 6 hours later, he would say goodbye to this world.

That piece of news sent me to do some thinking. I used to be where he used to be, i fully understand and i hate to say, it's really a pity. A life gone just like that, i feel pity for him, i feel sad for his parents. Really...still, i bear this hatred which i refused to pour it over here..
Bro came back home, shagged. Even wanting to catch some Champions League action, which only then i realised there's a match hours later. Bad luck struck me. I set my alarm clock at 3am only to realise when i woke up it's 5am and i vaguely remembered what happened when i shut the alarm clock off hours before when the pain of my foot hurts.

I went out the brightly lit living room to see the red mark on my foot. Only then i realised i fell down hours ago and fell back to sleep immediately right after that, missing that victory match by Man Utd.

Morning was full of positiveness. It's been a long time since we are going to hang out the whole day. Started off the outing with a haircut. This haircut was special. All because i finally did away with the short crew cut which i'm so used to ever since i got enlisted 2 years plus ago. Whereas for her, she trimmed her hair and off we went to catch 'Connected'.

Story plot exactly the same as the English version 'Cellular' which i caught it quite long ago, nevertheless, it's still as nice and exciting. Dinner was the long awaited Seoul Garden. There she went as usual, being the herbivore, kept attacking all the veggies, whereas me, being a faithful carnivore, concentrated on my chicken of different flavours. By the third round, we were also KO and only helped ourselves to a small serving of desserts and fruits. When's our next outing, Dearie?
