God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. And ME to share all the pain, laughter, tears, sorrow,happiness, sun and rain with you! Let us endure all the 暴风雨 and 彩虹 together!

Stupid Helpdesk people

Wait ah.... let me scold first..... WTH...

Wah lao eh.... cannot imagine la.... Alvin were just inquiring what are the cancellation charges if we decided to cancel the trip as we care unable to fly there due to the closure of the main airport.....

And the person replied that they will cancel our booking for the hotel.....


But I guess in the end, the misunderstanding was cleared up with a follow-up email by Alvin. They asked us to confirm with them if we would like to cancel the booking of the hotel.


Hmmm..... come to think of it.... I guess the misunderstanding occurs when one party "thinks" 1 step ahead of the other. E.g in this case, the helpdesk people "think" ahead 1 step by assuming that when we ask that question, means that we have the intention and wants to cancel the booking. Thus, the misunderstanding occurs.

Another example... ...

We all know that currently U-Tapao Airbase in Bangkok is allowing planes to land and fly off for passengers who are stranded there or going to BKK urgently. If you are "thinking" one step ahead, then, you can foresee that there might be possibilities that airlines might be allowing planes to land and take off from there IF the main airport is still unavailable. As I was just seeing word by word in the airasia website, no other thoughts were given to whether will there be possibilities that the commerical airlines will start to send passengers to that airbase and thus they might not allow passengers to refund their air tickets, which Alvin is able to foresee. Hmmm... maybe he is looking at other websites also?

The morale of the story?

We need to COMMUNICATE to ensure that we know what each other meant. To communicate to confirm. So that there will not be any communication breakdown or communication barrier... ... It doesn't takes much effort to say what we meant right? Although I know it can be irritating at times when we try to explain ourselves and people don't get what we meant and we just gave up. But sometimes when we tried to explain and the other party knows what we are trying to say, we will feel and think: "Good. The person knows what I meant."

That's life.

Let's see if the airport re-opens on Saturday@6pm... ...

Blood Donation

I don't think I'll be able to make it to Nuffnang's first blood donation drive tomorrow. There is lotsa things to do but I am always procrastinating... .... Furthermore, it is the time of the month. Although I had donated blood before during the time of the month, I don't think I would want to do it this month as I am feeling very lethargy these few days.

Just a recapped, my last donation was on 22nd March 2008... ...



This was a special day, as it was someone's birthday!!! =D
(You know who you are)


Maybe I am going to donate on my birthday this year. Like the one I did in 2005. That was my 21st birthday... ...

Let's see... ...

Advanced Birthday wish and card

Early birthday wish from Pasta Fresca... ...





According to the letter to me and the website, Pasta Fresca served authentic South Italian cuisine that includes pastas, pizza, main courses, zuppe, Italian breads and their Italian desserts.....

I've received the VIP membership card 2-3 months back but I've yet to try out the Italian cuisine... ...



Anyone wants to try? Especially people who I know likes Italian food? =P

Pray... ...


I'm not so afraid of the riot in BKK... ... Cause I believe in if I'm fated to die... I will die.... regardless where I am.....

I'm just worried that we can't go... ... It will just put our efforts into waste. I'm even ashamed to say that Alvin has put in more efforts than me despite amidst his exams during the "research" for this trip. Maybe he is really better in this. I really hope this trip can pull through.....I know we all needed this getaway from our work and studies..... riots can continue if they want to....they have already been like that since mid of the year..... they just don't freaking take over the control tower at the airport.....

Well, hopefully things get better... ... I don't care who is the gov't of bkk.... who is the PM..... they just don't freaking spoil our plans!!!! Dammit..... Just when we I am looking forward for it... ...

Shall see how things go.... wait till 3rd Dec and see how.... ....
If not..... maybe a shorter trip to Malaysia? I dunno.... see how ba.... got to look around to see any contingency if the riot continues... ....

BDay Bash


Going to have this birthday bash organised by the BUDDIES on 5th December. Thanks aZ for designing this poster and organising bash for the 3 of us - wL, wC, and me! This is a belated one for wL, an early one for wC and me. wC and I are just 6 days apart from mine. Maybe we might already be "bedside friends" when we were born.... lolx.... right buddy?

But wa lao eh...... dress like cartoon character??? Like what sia? Hmm.... I think I just go and buy Minnie Mouse hairband can? lolx..... Hmmm..... Still got some time for me to think... ...

Any suggestions?

Thailand Riot

Hopefully the riot will stop soon and the airport will resume its service.

I still want my getaway... ...

14 more days... ...

* I give you all 12 days to stop ah..... make sure you all stop by 9th Dec 2008..... so that i can go for my getaway!!! Thank you.* lolx....

Injured left little finger

Well, today I injured my little finger... ....

Because the kid that I was seeing was sliding the door a little too fast and I tried to stop the door. Apparently my little finger went in between the door and the "wall" (i think) but luckily I was fast enough to pull it out.

As usual, trying to be professional about it, pretending nothing happened. Just like what happened to my BIG TOE few months back. Not too sure if the parent saw what happened. Hopefully my finger doesn't get too swollen tomorrow morning.



At least not as bad as my big toe huh?

Time to sleep..... slept only 4 hrs last night... ...

The most expensive ketupat


GUCCI KETUPAT!


Done by my colleague. Don't ask me how. I don't know. =P

*edited: Thanks DiEsE for spotting the mistake. It's Ketupat.... you are right. =P

Mom informed of my trip

Anyway, before I go to bed, it is getting late EARLY.....

My mom is informed of my overseas trip to BKK already. Opps.... ya.... for those who don't know yet, I will be leaving for BKK for a holiday soon.

As expected, she didn't make much comment, just asked me to take care of my own things when I get there. I guess she has already been "immune" to me going away for camps for few days etc. I guess this is the longest trip I will be going after Taiwan trip in 2005 with the "Taiwan Gang" since 2005.

Yup. Next is to inform my dad. I guess he will be fine too. And then, my brother. And he definitely will ask me to get some stuff back for him.

Anyway, time to sleep.

Looking forward for the trip... ....

2500 words... ...

My 2500 words individual assignment is finally done. 60% of the whole module.
I have no idea how I am going to die in this assignment. I don't even know if I am making any sense in my assignment. They should have given 60% for our presentation instead of 20%.

Well..... just wish me good luck.

Now just got to say:

"Don't know, don't care, don't bother."

Now, it is time for the last 4 group assignments.

Heard that it was a master student who is marking our critical appraisal assignment. She is marking like an English teacher can? And her expectations and our lecturer seems to be different.....

One word - SUAY.

This cat will always remind me of someone who has 3 cats at home...... or it is more? =X

Life is a struggle... ....

BUT... ...

God never promised you smooth journey... ..


... he only promised you safe landing.

Who am I in your eyes?

I just came across a very thought intriguing entry here.

Like the blogger said, how often have we in our lives, have thoughts like,

"Who am I to you?"

"Where do I stand?"

"Do I mean anything to you?"



I'm sure it happen often right?

As a human being, we often require words of affirmation from people who we adore or respect. To allow us to know where we stand or who we are to them. We require constant feedback from people, to affirm us, and to give us a sense of security and/or confidence. This can constantly be seen in relationships and even work situation. The intensity or the urge to want to ask this question happens most of the time when there is a change to a situation or the start or end of a situation/event/task.

In relationships, it can be love relationship and even friendship. Example, you had a fight with your girlfriend/boyfriend and you are angry with him/her. Have you ever wonder who you are to him/her? Your friend decided to go out with another friend or do her own things instead of going out with you. Did you ever have the thought that "I am not important to him/her?" Sometimes when we were down, when we needed someone special to be there just for us but she/he didn't. Have you ever wonder...... "Where do I stand?"

Or when you are dating with "the one" and he/she always say how much he/she misses you, etc.... but when you all became girlfriend-boyfriend or even wife-husband, it has reduced significantly or worse off, it never happen again? I'm sure you will begin to wonder.....

"Do he/she really loves me still?"


So much about relationships. How about work? It happens the same too... .... but maybe not as frequent or intense as relationship as some people take work as just a job. I personally think that words of affirmation is important in work as we all want to know how well we have been doing as it can boost our confidence and morale. Unless you know you have not been doing well.... feedback from superiors can create more stress and demoralise you if you are not the type that look at the positive side.

In a nutshell, we all need feedbacks and words of affirmations. We all have the need to feel and be secure. After all, security is the first 2 level in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Now, think about it. When is the last time you ever say "I love you" or "I miss you" to your loved ones? Not forgetting how about, "Thanks for being there for me." If you can't even remember, I think it is about time to affirm them.

*edited*
But on the other hand..... sometimes.... somethings are best unsaid.... and some people make take you for granted if you tend to say alot to them....

what to do? that's life....

All of a sudden... ...

... ... I miss my girl girl ... ...

What it takes to understand a person?

Just some random thoughts.....

It takes a person TIME, PATIENCE and CONSTANT TRIAL AND ERROR to understand a person. It will be good if you can understand a person the first time the person did something or said something. If you failed to understand what the person actually meant, ASK.

"Seek to understand."

Be PATIENT. If you don't get it right the first time, don't get irritated with yourself (which I often did) or others. Stop and think. What could go wrong. It takes TIME to understand and know a person. Even we don't know our parents well enough and our parents don't know us well enough, what makes few weeks or few months or even few years of friendship/relationship for us to say that we know each other well enough?

Understanding a person require CONSTANT TRIAL AND ERROR. You think or feel that it may be this way, maybe not. You just got to give it a try somehow, rather than worrying whether is it wrong or right. But we are not the "worms" in the person to know what every action or word actually meant. It takes us constant trying:

"Oh, do you meant this?"

"What are you doing?"

"I don't get you, what are you trying to say?"


On the other hand, people being understood, needs to give those who wants to understand him/her TIME and PATIENCE. Not to forget, allow them to use CONSTANT TRIAL AND ERROR. Do not feel irritated when the one who seek to understand does not understand you and says he/she does not understand you. Do note that the process he/she is going through, is LEARNING to understand you.

In addition, have you guys every wonder, we tends to feel more irritated with our loved/closed ones not being able to understand us as compared to some "normal" friends or acquaintances? When "normal" friends or acquaintances don't understand us, sometimes we are more patient with them and able to tell them maybe once or twice. But when it is with our loved/closed ones, we tends to think and feel that "you should know", "you should understand" or "you don't understand".

It takes both hands to clap. Just like 2 persons standing, facing a door. When one tries to open the door, the other refused to let the other party to open the door. The door will never be able to open. Same goes to understanding a person. If one prevents the other one from understanding him/her for whatever reasons, the person seek to understand will face numerous challenges in understanding the person who does not wish to be understood.

As I am someone who always want to try to understand a person especially my closed ones, I will get really bothered when I feel that I don't understand them enough. Or worse off, when someones tells me that,

"You don't understand me".

Sometimes it can be really hurting to hear that. Maybe sometimes I just try too hard to try to understand someone. But on the other hand, the other person may be feeling irritated as well.... hmm.....

Well, the moral of the story is, before you decide to tell someone he/she don't understand you, tries to explain and let him/her understand, so that you will be understood. If we don't try to explain, we will not be understood and then we will say others don't understand us..... and others will try/learn to understand us...... and yet we don't want to explain..... and it continues....

We will never be understood.


I just reaslised I had posted an entry some time ago on similar topic, but that is more on our assumptions on "they will not understand even when I tell them". Does this happen to you too that we often decided not to explain further? Check it out!

Irritated... ...

Been quite irritated with myself.... couldn't get my assignment done.... It's only 2500 words.... yet I took so long to complete. dammit....

I need to learn how to focus again!!!

I need my motivation!!!

Park Ji-Sung

I was watching (online streaming of) Man-U vs. Stoke match yesterday while reading/doing my assignment. I didn't know that there is an Asian player in Man-U team until there is a change of substitute at the 62nd minute.

*ya.... I know you must be saying.... what a "green horn" I am.... lolx.....*

Anyway, as the title of the post, the player is Park Ji-Sung.

He is also the first Asian player to score in the history of the UEFA Champions League

Anyway, yesterday match was rather exciting especially in the beginning where a goal was scored by Ronaldo at the 3rd minute and the last 2 goals were scored in the last 10-15 minutes by Ronaldo and Welbeck. The 2nd goal was scored slightly before the half-time. I missed out the 3rd goal as I was typing my assignment but apparently it was scored by Berbatov at the 48th minute.

Thus, the team leave the field with glory with a score of 5-0. I guess this served as a motivation for them after their last defeat against Arsenal. And someone was damn happy after watching the match..... lolx...

For more details of the match with Stoke, please click here.

Joanna Wong, 王若琳

LET'S START FROM HERE



Giving up, why should I
I've come too far to forget
We're beautiful, we just got lost
Somewhere along the way
So much was missing when you went away

Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don′t need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here

Standing here face to face
A finger on your lips
Don't say a word don't make a sound
Silence surrounds us now
Even when you were gone I felt you everywhere
Let' start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don′t need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

I've never been the one to open up
But you've always been the voive within
The only warmth from my cold heart
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here



I LOVE YOU



I love you, say we're together baby, you and me...

I can only give my life and show you all I am
in the breath I breathe
I will promise you my heart,
and give you all you need
if it takes some time

If you tell me you don't need me anymore,
that our love won't last forever
I will ask you for a chance to try again
to make our love a little better, ooh...

I love you, say we're together baby,
say we're together...
I need you, I need you forever baby,
you and me

You say you hardly know exactly who I am
so hard to understand
I knew right from the start,
the way I felt inside,
if you read my mind

If you tell me you don't need me anymore,
that our love won't last forever
I will ask you for a chance to try again
to make our love a little better, ooh...

I love you, say we're together baby,
say we're together, oh
I need you, I need you forever baby,
you and me

Remember when you used to hold me,
remember when you make me cry
You said you loved me
oh, you did, yes you did

Rabbit Without Ears

A German romantic comedy movie that looks interesting.....



Synopsis from InCinema.sg:

What would yellow-press reporter Ludo do without women? He needs the famous ones for his dirt-digging stories, and the less famous ones for his legendary one-night stands. Blessed with unshakable self-confidence, Ludo usually gets the interviews he wants and the sexiest girls as well. All goes well until he lands in big trouble - and bare-assed - in the midst of a celebrity party. For that, he is sentenced to 300 hours of social work in a pre-school nursery. Expecting it to be child’s play, Ludo is in for a big surprise when he discovers that the place is run by Anna, whom he enjoyed making malicious fun of in their primary-school days. Back then, Anna was shy, awkward and wore big eyeglasses. Ditto today except for the fact that now she’s ready to take revenge mercilessly, resolutely and adorably... Whether he’s criticized for not sewing ears on his toy rabbits or made to look ridiculous as a clown’s helper, Ludo has to go along with the torture. But at some point he begins to like it. He likes tying kids´ shoelaces and telling them spooky stories. And he likes being picked on by Anna, who cannot hide the fact that she has fallen in love with him and is hoping the 300 hours will never end...

Trailer:


Trust no one. Deceive everyone.

While walking home from work, I saw the following movie advert at a bus stop...


Synopsis of the movie (taken from Golden Village):

Roger Ferris (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best man U.S. Intelligence has on the ground, in places where human life is worth no more than the information it can get you. In operations that take him around the globe from the Middle East to Washington, Ferris's next breath often depends on the voice at the other end of a secure phone line CIA veteran Ed Hoffman (Russell Crowe).

Waging war from a laptop in the suburbs, Hoffman is on the trail of an emerging terrorist leader who has orchestrated a campaign of bombings while eluding the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world. To lure the terrorist out into the open, Ferris will have to penetrate his murky world, but the closer he gets to the target, the more he discovers that trust is both a dangerous commodity and the only one that will get him out alive.

Expectations

"When there is no expectations, everything is a bonus."

Sometimes when we expect something to happen, but it doesn't. Maybe we will get disappointed, angry, frustrated and/or sad.

It is good to have expectations... ... but then again.... sometimes we just set ourselves to disappointment, frustrations, anger, sadness when we or others don't meet our own expectations.
Thus, it is important to know or let others know what is your own expectations or what you expect of others. So, you don't set yourselves to all the above.

But well, sometimes it is easily said than done.

When you can live forever, what do you live for?

When you can live forever, what do you live for?


This movie looks cool..... but only going to be shown on 18 December..... gonna wait for it to come out... I think it will feel very terrible to see everyone leaves you when you are still alive.... I don't want immortality.... just let me enjoy life to the fullest.... when it is time for me to go... maybe in my 60s-70s.... let me go peacefully.... no dementia.... no heart diseases.... nothing.... let me die in my sleep......

Anyway, the following is the story line extracted from Golden Village:

"Twilight" is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands and he hasn't aged since 1918.

Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.

Which is a nicer header for my blog?

As you can see from my previous entry.... I just did a collage of my recent few photos.... I was wondering if I should replace my current blog header with the collage if it looks nice....

Any comments from my readers? Does my collage header looks nicer than my Pon and Zi one? This Pon and Zi header is also designed my me (of course not the pictures itself).... I like both headers... but just cannot make up my mind....

So.... please throw in your suggestions!!! Thanks! =)

This is my current header:



This is how my blog will look like if I use my collage as the header:


Please remember to leave a comment after reading. Thanks.

Welcome to my world!

I'm going to be on leave later.... had a bit of dozing off this afternoon and wake up late this morning (i.e. Sunday morning).... thus here I am.... still not yet asleep....

Did a collage just now....


Nice?? Any comments? *bleh*

Going to sleep already..... good nite!

Time of your life



Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

(music break)

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Bad morning

I had a super BAD morning.....

*reader have to take note that the following descriptions that what happened to me may be alittle too descriptive.*

Waking up in the middle of the night due to very bad stomach ache/cramp/diarrhea at 3+am in the morning!!!

Can you imagine being in the toilet with the excruciating pain in the tummy? That point in time... I feel like just give me an injection and put me to sleep.... I am so damn tired.... and with the damn pain.... and with the intermittent diarrhea.... ARGH!!!!

And because of the intermittent diarrhea and I also wasn't able to "push out" the "liquid" out from my tummy.... I can feel the tossing and contraction of whatever is in my tummy.... nothing at that point of time can ease the pain.... nothing seems to be able to "Get out" of my body..... until I stand up... and it feels like I am ready to "let go"... yet.... when I sat down.... the pain came back again..... dammit!!!!

I just felt like sleep in the toilet.... on the floor for that moment in time.... and clear the whatever mess the next day. Haiz.... that is the worse pain I ever have.... considering myself being someone with high tolerance for pain.... and I was sort of moaning in pain..... hmm... maybe that is the feeling of how girl girl felt before she passed away.... with all the pain....

I am so tired and I have no more strength to "push" whatever that is needed to be out of my body..... I just decided to clean myself... and see how thing goes.... and left the toilet with that excruciating pain and the feeling of "passing liquid"....

Went back to bed..... with tummy facing down.... hopefully it will reduce the pain.... it reduced a little.... saw my mobile first aid kit that I usually bring for camp.... and hope that I can find some oilment to ease my pain... but to no avail.... no choice.... I just faced down... and hope that the pressure can reduce the pain.... and I was also tossing and turning..... finding the best position with the lesser pain....

I guess while I was doing that.... I am just too tired and I fall asleep.... and before I knew it... it was 6.50am.... and got to wake up for work.....

Everything was alright.... I guess it was after I drank my milo when I was on the way to work..... and I started to feel the tossing and turning.... the contraction in my tummy.... ARGH.... and I endured till I reached my workplace.....

And I just feel so lethargic at work.... and I guess that 10 min nap at work after lunch did help a bit and applying the oilment that my colleague has.... does soothen it abit....

I guess I have food poisoning..... and maybe allergy too... as I have itch rashes during the episode of tummy ache at 3+am.....

Hmm... to lighten this entry.... I am going to end with a lame joke.....

I was feeling a bit nausea too during 3+am..... but I guess I was not going to "puke" since I don't burp. *lame*

Hope everything is alright for you... ....

Hope everything is alright for you... ...

What Muffin Am I?




You Are a Bran Muffin



Some people have accused you of being all work and no play. And that does describe you most of the time.

You are very career oriented. When you're not working making money, you're working to improve yourself.



You have very little room in your life for fluff. You want to live as good of a life as possible.

You are competitive and driven. You like to surround yourself with other motivated people.



While you are a go-getter, you are by no means self centered. Quite the opposite.

You are a caring, together, and stable friend. You are grounded enough to be there for people.

"Take photo for what? Go where"

"Take photo for what? Go where"

I took passport photos last Friday in a photoshop at Ang Mo Kio Jubilee. I was supposed to take it near my house before I go to AMK but I didn't know it closed on Friday. As you all know, I have very bad dark rings and eyebags especially when it is nearing the submission of assignments. It was already around 8pm when I took the photo. Thus, the photo turns out to be ugly with my dark rings that looked like I haven't been sleeping for days.

I was indecisive whether to take a new photo or to photoshop the current one. Hmm, as I wasn't very pleased with my "lips" in the photo, I decided to give it another try before I give up on it. I decided that I should make it fast.... as I needed to process my application for the passport.... and I do not want to make someone wait..... because of the delay of my passport expiry date....

Thus, I went to bath..... blow dry my hair..... put on foundation..... put on blusher..... put on lip stick.... just to TAKE A PASSPORT PHOTO..... lolx....

I cannot believe I actually go to that extent to do that.... but well..... I guess everyone wants to look good right? Although this may just be a form of identification that I may just be using once or twice a year or even lesser.... BUT.... I STILL WANT TO LOOK GOOD! =P

Hmm.... then I went down..... and I took another one..... at the same time.... I also got aZ to help me photoshop my eyebags for the previous photo.... lolx.... but there's nothing can be done to the "distorted" lips....

This time round, with the make-up, I looked slightly better.... my dark rings are not so bad.... thou there is still presence of eyebags... but not too bad either..... Thus, after some considerations, I decided to take the photo that I took just now for the application for my new passport..... Do not want to wait any longer before it drags on and delay the booking of the hotel and air tixs for my trip.

Isn't it a waste if I gonna wash off my make-up so fast? haha... thus I cam-whore before I remove my make-up..... I may look a bit darker here..... as my make-up set was supposingly for use with the tanned skin I have previously.....

Here are the photos......

Shall photoshop-ed and make it into a collage when I'm more free... ...

Only make some adjustment to the contrast and brightness.....

Ready.....1.....
