8:03:00 PM

Work has ended for reallll!! Again, bidding the last goodbye.

It was a pleasant surprise during the farewell lunch today.. after eating they presented me a big envelope and in it was a self-created "Certificate of Achievement" for me! It was really sweet of them! And it has touched me in a sense. =) So I've worked at Schindler for a good 11 weeks... Much that I was looking forward to the end of my contract, I found myself wishing I had carried on working. The everyday routine of lunching out with different people at different places, feels really wonderful and I'll certainly miss it alot. I guess it's my good fortune having to get to work with these people, especially with my two direct supervisors who are really friendly, and funny all the same. =) They brighten the mundane office life. Though I can't say the work there is anything productive for my brains, I've learnt a horde of stuffs about life, about the working world, how good bosses should be like, etcetc.

And so, this chapter has closed on me. What's next? IT Fair! Four Days of endless speaking and persuading. Should do some good in honing my confidence. :D

This week was a blue one. I'm glad the blueness is fading. Somehow, during such periods anything comes into me easily. Gets me pondering on stuffs. Over-thinking. Happiness reigns over all else! =)
Alright going for a jog down at the park. Woooooo! First time.

Another week flew by. Back to Monday! It's my last week at Schindler. I'm so gonna miss the people there. Yucks, I hate bidding goodbye; especially if it's the last.

It's the bluish period that always come before the red does, like always. If anyone even understands. lol. Feeling a whole lot vulnerable. Dread. There's something wrong, and to make the matter worst like it isnt already bad enough, I can't seem to put a finger on what it is wrong. At all. And this really sucked a hell load. No one would understand, I don't need anyone to understand either because I don't understand myself. Succumbing, once again. Rahhh!

Caught two movies last week. Angels & Demons and Night at the Museum 2.

The first movie's great!!!!!!!!!!!! Caught it with Louis. Enjoyed the thrill, and the twists, and all the amazing facts I have never known before. I like surprises thrown right at my face. Feels awesome to get awed haha! Reading the book makes me understand the story more, which is good. Been long since I've got down to reading a book that really interests me.

I thought I would be rotting the Saturday away, was almost falling asleep infront of the lappy when Eden called and asked if I wanna come out, eat something... clad in my OGL shirt and pants (because I thought I would just be out for awhile...) and in a moment roland n him came to fetch me. Got Yilin too and we went Downtown East, when they suggested watching Night at the Museum 2. I gotta say, the first movie's better, much much better. I remembered laughing alot and enjoying thoroughly the first movie. But this, pretty much cold, mmmmm no hearty laughters.. The theatre was freezing. No jacket.

Movie ended, went to Simpang, met up ZE, Grace and ZE's sister for dinner. How weird, because the day before my colleagues and me went Simpang for lunch as well. So that's two days in a row going there. Missed that place. Used to live near there. Went home after dinner... getting late... for my standards. lol.

I guess I'm feeling a notch better. Writing helps, even when I'm not exactly writing what I'm emoting.

5:12:00 PM

Went for K-session again... lol! This time we went to Chai Chee CC, which was so darn cheap!!!! When we called to book, they were saying $10/person, special student price. But when we were there they told us "oh we have special student price, $5/person now" for 5 long hours!

Reached the place with Eden, Roland and Yilin first.. Roland drove us there! So cool having friends that could drive. And it's my first time meeting Roland and Yilin. Roland's one wacky lame guy but can't deny he's really a damn nice person at the same time! Yilin the sweet girl, though quiet I could tell she's really nice as well! In summary, all of Eden's friends are nice, so he said. :D

ZE and Dom arrived next. And then Mengyee and Grace. There was a misunderstanding midway, kinda scared me for awhile but lucky all's fine after awhile. I sang till my voice was really hoarse when I was about to sleep. I like the duet "PK" by Gary Cao and Liang jingru. =))) Hard to find guys who could sing like Cao ge, but, ZE darn nice lah!!!
And Eden, enjoy the subtleness =))))

I couldn't join them for dinner, rushed home for this soka planning for next Sunday's youth meeting. I'm glad the planning went really smoothly, and all was done in an hour. Glad that we're becoming more efficient heheh

As my mind scour through the pages of the past few months, I can feel this awed, amazed feeling resonating inside... The floating elation makes everything feel like just a dream, a really sweet dream. And the fact I am living this very dream leaves me feeling extremely gratified.
But with these, comes fear, inevitably or not. Not overwhelming fear, just a little tingling in some corner somewhere. The fear of what the future would paint, the fear of whether this would stay; and how far it would stretch. All that's to come... scary, yet exciting.
The intensity, the thrill, the warmth, the calm and coolness, security.
I've trudged onto the same grounds once again, but this time, i'm savouring something entirely different. Something truer than all that ever happened. Something too colourful I could hardly describe.

I dunno which version I prefer, Kelly Clarkson's or Leona Lewis's, but I love this song all the same.

A Moment Like This

What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me,
Would you agree
It's almost that feelin'
That we've met before
So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come and now...
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well I maybe dreamin'
But 'till I awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

My birthday came and went.

Surprises springing from everywhere, good and bad. haha.

Friday night; had to head to Raffles Place for TMSA meeting. I told Eden it would end late around 9pm but he insisted he and the others would find me after that, there. The meeting ended at 9.20pm, called him, and he said meet at the station. First surprise of the night - finding only Dom there. He waited for 45mins gee felt bad

We left for tamp station to find kat there, followed by Grace. I know now they're up to something!! Walked to Tamp Library. Crossed the road over to the park. They blindfolded me with this white bandage!! Kat guided me to wherever the rest are... and I walked so slow... because i kept imagining there were drains infront of me.

And when I finally reached, i kinda smelled stuffs burning, and I thought it was the cake. but goodness!! They lit my name with candles on the ground. it was so so sweet. I was shock, really. And they made me blow allllllllll the candles out. Pity, it was a pretty sight! =) And the cake arrived! Swensen's cake sponsored by Dominic cuz his PI had exceeding expectation (i had little credits to it though, i just tweak a few of his sentences). Thanks man! Chocolate Vanilla ice-cream cake. Awesome. =) Oh wait, there was the gift too. Eden's idea. Because he read my messages. Hilarious. hahahah =) =) no idea when i'll use it. seriously. And the card was lovely with the Pikachu!!!! Really cute!!!

And then we took photos! Credit to dom once again since he brought the camera. =)

Thanks so much Eden for organizing this entire surprise celebration! Threw me off my feet really. And sorry for for all the trouble you had to go through, it was way taxing. >.<

And also thanks ZE, Grace, Kat, Mengyee, Dominic for joining the celebration and helping in one or another! Really lovely to know these people. Some whom I've only just knew for awhile and yet they did so much!!!

Though the whole celebration lasted for about an hour, it was truly memorable. A memorable 19th b'day. You guys made my night. =)

Saturday was yet another amazing day! Just me and Louis spending the day in town, or near town. We went to the new mall at Bugis, Iluma (reminds me of I love u, ma!) to catch Star Trek at FilmGarde. Theatre was cool! The ticket stubs quite of a novelty from the conventional cathay GV ones. Star Trek was cool too, in a sense. The graphics, the navigating of spaceship. Just that I don't 'get' such movies... hahahaha. I still prefer thrillers and romance! On our way to Raffles City, we dropped by the Mint museum of toys. Sounds like a really nice place. haha, but it was really small, though 4 levels. Collectibles, origins of disney characters etc etc. Mickey Mouse looked really ugly when it was first created. And there were the Five Little Nigger Boys that was really funny because they were so black, and the photo was really dark without flash too so you could barely make out the dolls from the photo. They gave us some $5 voucher so we used it to buy tea, and left for dinner at marina square... Forgot which restaurant we ate, but it was a jap one, quite cheap too. I think Kat will know. Went to the river side near esplanade to chill and =) I love it!!! Thanks dude if u even see this!! =)

Headed back to Tamp, walked about for awhile. Sat at the park. The moon was really pretty against the dark sky. A pity the sky was star-less, thanks to raining clouds. Still, =) .......

Went home. And yet another 'surprise'. Which, I should not even bother to remember because I know things will become better... And I'm really glad you're back. Thanks for coming back Stan. Sincerely.

And Kat had her own surprise too that night! hoho. I still find it unbelievable how uncanny things can get!

I'm emotionally overloaded now. Not stress. Just brimming with emotions. None of sadness, thankfully.

Oh yeah, I drove my mom's car illegally just now, when she got down to da pau dinner. Goodness. Goodnesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

BEST B'DAY EVER =)

I need periodic reflections. :( good night.

May 4th!!!! 5 more days till I'm 19! 19 sounds weird. Neither here nor there. Alright, maybe more to the old side. Gahh I'm getting old. And once again, time flies like hell fast. NINETEEN.

I don't know why but I've been feeling physically tired for the past 3 days, wonder what's up with me. And no, I'm not stressed out. ><

Went for a reallllllly short swim yesterday at eden's condo. Barely 40 minutes. It's been so long! The last I touched a pool was during WWW last dec. There were plenty of clouds ytd afternoon, meaning that the sun wasn't glaring at all so I wouldn't get tan =p soothing. Cabbed to Teoheng, we were running late. Because apparently everyone's addicted to Blackshot (=.=") ok I spent the time reading this really sweet yet bitter diary of someone's love life. It kinda touched me in a way... tsk tsk. hmmm...

Singing was great. I don't know like half of the eight in the room. Two of them came solely just to share the ktv costs (that's what they said), because they refused to sing until the last hour. =_= They were all pretty friendly people, and one of them was especially playful, in the gay way. If you see my facebook album you'd know who. But he sure is one smart kid! So many scandals ............................................................. gosh. gays. Or probably gayswannabe. We ended at 9pm, and had late dinner there. They were all snatching for zE's hand. =__= And I wonder what's with the 302 form the NS guys were talking about.

And my beloved guess watched broke down on me. It was 5 mins slower and I just wanted to tune it back and boo, the seconds hand didn't wanna budge. Hope dad would bring it to the repairs for me. I don't wanna have to go down all the way to somerset >.<

9:42:00 AM

GOSH. I just realised it's MAY. MAY MAY MAY!

I mean I know it's May already obviously but the full realisation just hit me.

How time flies. I'm really amazed.

Why do good times always fly so fast!

So should I be happy because there were good times, or sad because they flew by too fast? ><

9:22:00 AM

Using my Touch to blog. Slow typing ......

Had a great badminton session yesterday. By saying great I meant the work-out was good, and I didn't sucked like I did the last round. Zhiyuan's still as good, making ppl run! I changed my racket's grip. It's bright yellow now, though already partially stained, bleh.

Went for lunch, and they suggested LAN >< kinda reluctant because I simply suck at L4d. (And at all the guy's games, so I'd probably just stick to o2jam and the likes.) 3 girls versus 3 guys! Talk about fairness. Lost every single round, except for the last cuz I migrated over.

So when we were about to pay, kat realized her purse was missing. Searched all around, even viewed the CCTV, which was so darn blur, lag. Why on earth would they install such a low quality CCTV, wasting space. Kat concluded some KID in red shirt, barely 12 I guess, stole it and left. It's really heart-wrenching knowing such people exist, and worst that he's just a kid, and that they'd probably be feeling so elated they've got more cash to spend on games and their conscience won't even tickle. It's plain unlucky to have the day ended like this. it was just a moment of distraction. Reported at the police station for a good two hours.

Kat came over to my house, and I could feel my mom's hint of irritance again arghhh. I hate it she has to be so critical sometimes. Still she's my mom what could I do.

Wished that she could let a few more reins off me. =.= gee i won't start lamenting on all the freedom thingy again. Sobs.
Irony of life. Then again, I bet I would be wishing for some sort of restrictions placed upon me if my mom were to completely let loose of me. Lol complications. We're always wanting what we don't have. True?
