Ah. This is one nice buidling which is actually the fusion of european and thai style. Built during King Mongkut 's time . The European style was largely because of the influence of Anna .

random rants

At work today, i watched as drama unfolds. And i truly understand how the phrase "making a mountain out of a molehill " came about.
We all know Singapore is essentially not so much of a self sustaining country. WE rely on imports and exports and hence the so called "foreign talents" influx for maintaning our GDP growth. No doubt there ARE foriegn talents i know of..I have had those crazily brilliant classmates from other countries. BUT how many of all the foreigners working here are TALENT? (Please read again if you think i am being obnoxious. I totally agree that there ARE talents. )
Sometimes, the cultural disparity is so obvious that no amount of cultural classes you go to can help u understand things. Cultural dissonance or assimilation for progress...i always ponder about this. Is there a KPI or measure for this?

SOME people put up intersting show instead of working. I always feel, when you do a piece of work, it should be for the good of the project or company rather that trying to make use of this piece of work for your own gain, e.g getting recognition and credit. LEt me tell you- If you have substance, if you are good, you do not need to wayang or put on a show. It all shows too easily. You can't have me fooled.

Of course, to maintain a harmonious working environment and PROMOTE cultural and racial harmony, i kept my mouth shut and tried to be diplomatic. But in my heart i was thinking " this aint a talent. this is a troublemaker. " They claim to be stressed and busy. i have no idea where this invisble workload came from. Thats why it's invisible. But really, i tell you why some people work late(I say some..gotta be careful with my words here) or can NEVER seem to finish their work. I tell u why- they are too busy putting on a show, too busy talking. too busy worrying about what the boss feels about them and creating rumors or criticising other. These time spent COULD have translate into quality pieces of work. Making a mountain out of a molehill. All shows need an audience. I shall sit back, relax and watch as they take the stage. But No sir, i aint gonna be fooled.
Sometimes, working with people is harder that the task itself. Well, let's embrace this cultural differences with an open heart. World Peace.

mooncake festival some time back. see. i am so random. we made hazel and nutt little lanterns. nutt's lantern burst into flame so he was very upset.
i have many many thoughts that i really want to pen down or rather rant about, you all know how nonsensical my thoughts are that it prolly amuses other, but i will still write it down when i find the time to do so.
i am busy or so i claimed. i found out why already. i am busy cos i spend most of my time doing nothing and so i do not have the time to do anything.
:/

Here we go again

Super lazy to blog!!
looking forward to BKK trip in 2 weeks time!! oh man!! & i have 14 days of leave left! i feel like gg to the States to visit NYC ( Sitting at Central Park eating bagels)and n Chicago to reminisce about times back then! Or maybe Niagara falls to watch the waterfall cascade and feel the numbness in the face as the cold wind gushes by. Or maybe California for some Dim sum and Sushi. OR maybe Florida for disney and the CRAZY rides at Universal and outlet shopping. Miss the cold cold days of travelling and of cos miss the COACH shopping. Next time i go USA, i'll buy the whole COACH down. I wil prolly need 1 mth. Oh man, those memories feel like just yesterday. Where has my youth gone to? Where are the fun and relaxing days ??? It would be nice to do all those crazy things once more. Boo wee.

by the way did i mention i love my blackberry? Now i can be on msn 24/7 (not that i am) , i can reply email instantly and surf the net on the bus and train to work!
some long long time ago pictures. Tuptup's cousin's wedding. thanks to my laziness, there is meagre amt of photos these days. all of u are spared the gross amount of pictures of myself n tuptup. :)
and did i mention lee min ho is DAMN cute. Oh man, i feel like a teengae girl all over again.

This is such a random post.

Happy Birthday to Poei and Aloy!

Random days

Random outings. Inglorious basterds some time back. Which reminds me, caught City of Life and DEath as well yesterday. All these war movies plus my own self readings kinda make history alive again for me. Oh but gruesome images and cold blooded killings can be very disturbing indeed.


And then to Marina barrage for family day. Look who our dear Flower took a photo with! haha
That aside, the days seem to whizz by, busy with work and things outside work- from tennis to friends to family to tuptup, to tuptup's family and friends, to new classes (every wed i need to call in for 2hrs after work to listen to some class conducted in houston) .

Oh well, such is life :)

You see everything. But You know nothing

Can't wait to try out my blackberry:) the thing is. i fear even a blackberry will not make the sms reply faster and missed call rates lower
anyway long time since i blogged. The weekend passed by like a whirlpool. So many updates, so little time. Birdpark on Sat. Sun will be told another time

We found out tuptup is a descendant of the bird!

sushi next!! all the food for 20 SGD!

Should i get the blackberry bold.......AH.SIAN!!!

oh i m a nutcase

sunday. ah. marks(hopefully) the end of an otherwise terrible and emotional week. some days i just lose it. at the end, i am filled with guilt and remorse. i am sorry for all the outburst.

thAt plus all the grey topics i have been reading about- holocaust (no thanks to Inglorious Basterds) has sorta made me really crazy. war time atrocities are really sickening.

i shall not attribute my nutcase situation to stress from work, yada yada. i am not a good person . thats all i can say. when i get irritated and upset, nothing matters. i just go crazy and throw away everything.

Guess only my parents and tuptup can (barely) tolerate me.

Sorry. Sorry to everyone.

Ah, unhappy stuff aside. Met a long lost friend today. Had a good chat. How true that in times of adversity, you realise who matters, who never, and who would never. You realise how important family is, as they are the people who stand by you through the sun and the rain. And i particularly like the notion that " we can be happy now" . Often, we keep envisioning about the future, setting goals and dreams like " i wan to achieve this and that" so i can be happy, i want to have this and that to be happy. But really, you can be happy now, there are many things you have now that is enough to make you happy. But enough is never enough. Long story short, dont neglect the present for the future. What you have in control is the present and the very first thing you can is to make a change to the present and be happy. You can be happy now.

Last agenda on the list as always( long backdated photos).

random duh pictures

1)tuptup waiting for train

2)taptap acting pretty

3) off to JB

Bubble tea!! i prefer Singapore's Sweet talk!

We love mee goreng, nasi briyani and Horlicks

JUSCO!!! so fun!!

Dinner at Sizzling stone grill.

HELP LA

Yet another traumatising experience. The TAXI DRIVER tried to pick me up. not pick me up from the taxi stand.Haaaa
HELP LA!
Taxi driver :" Wow..you look so young and pretty to be an engineer...i thought u were 21"
Taptap: " *roll eyes* thanks

Very funny ah. anyway this cab driver is very "young". 33 with an earring that spells " i am so not fashionable".
So anyway, i reach my house. Then this cab driver wound down the window " Can i have ur no, so i can specially pick u up from ** hotel tmr" ( u see, i am on ANOTHER training course at the hotel AGAIN..)
HELP la.
Taptap:" i think you should go"
Now that i think..very scary eh. Thankfully i din tell him where i stayed. I alighted somewhere further from my house. But anyway Tmr, i 'll carry a knife with me. I hope the hotel security dont check my bag.
Sigh.

21 guns

friday wraps up an pretty stressful week. hello to long weekend.
Job .career. I pretty like the way others look upon us. The new comers of the working world, fresh out of school, all so excited and ready for a brand new refreshing change. This excitment quickly fad into a sense of apprehension and sometimes self doubt as we grapple with the reality of the working world. The responsibilities that you shoulder and the amount of new changes and challenges ahead. No longer are you a student or an intern. Those seemed so far away and child's play. The things that you do in school, the stuff that got you through college with good results doesnt seem to work anymore.
"Your life, your career, you are in charge" . Suddenly we find ourselves out of the comfort zone and gone are the natural progressions that come with ease. The burden of seeking what you truly want in your job, of doing well in your job lies soley on you. Sometimes you dig deep into what you have got or what you think you have got to prove to the world out there you are capable. The self doubt comes in when everything you do seem so small and when expectations fall short. Expectations of others and yourself. Maybe it's all about taking things in stride, never giving up in your search to bring out the potential in you. The little pebbles or big boulders that get you down, they will make you stronger one day. Fear and setbacks are ever present in our lives. You Pick a fight and you fight to win. Sometimes we set too unrealistic goals that are doomed for failure right from the start.
This is nothing personal. And i am not refering to anyone per se. But i am just summing up what i am hearing from people around me. I am one of those, struggling to find what's my potential and dealing with setbacks. Such is life.


We had a two days career developement training over the past two days. I often find the most complex person to understand to be myself. During the class, we were suppose to identify our top 5 values. Reason being your values in your life kinda guide you towards the decisions you make. So mine was economic security, family happiness, achievement, health and personal development. I think before i try to understand others around me, i should take time to understand myself more. You know all those stuff about Myers Briggs indication. Johari windows. I think they kinda make things more complicated. Instead of understanding myself better, i m more confused. I prefer feedbacks. I was talking to the person next to me, in which we are suppose to find out more about the person based on random questions and then try to find out 3 values of that person. He couldnt, but what he wrote was pretty interesting : " Happy person, expressive and fast paced"
I never knew i came across as happy. And then, there was another sections on : "If i could lived my life again, i would..." I took up my pen and the words flowed. I never knew i had so many regrets in life and so many things i m grateful for. So i ended off with : " i would wish i never met XXX and YYY" Go figure XXX and YYY.

That aside. So much tv shows on cheating. Doesnt anyone realise things never become the same anymore when trust has been broken? You are a fool if you think you can pretend nothing happened. There's no such things as a second chance in everything you do. There's no such things as " it's a mistake. " It's over means it's over.

So much for a lighthearted post for a long weekend. Actually someone asked me why i blogged. Simple. i have no answer. It is just excuse for me not to read my book. :P




Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

on a hot saturday

sun burnt from tennis.on a sat, we went around city hall taking polaroid shots. some thai food later. all the food for 20$! i was dressed like a malay because i had sunburns on my shoulder, so cannot all my sexy dresses *___*

Like my new Coach Bag? Can still see the patch of sunburn on my chest area T___T

The only side of him that looks good. Last night, we weere talking about how we first met last year. Kinda miss all the times when we first knew each other..We talk about exs, love problems of people ariound us, pretend to be totally cool in fromt of each other..dress our best etc etc..You know the sweetest part of a relationship is always when two pple just fall in love..the guy is chasing the girl and super nice to her.. i guess girls like the feeling of being chased everynow and then. so every now and then the feeling of guys chasing me is a novelty and fun BUT it always ends up with me feeling of sorry and feeling bad.
so anyway, to keep the novelty of the relationship going, i pick up a quarrel everynow and then. Very difficult one ok, must think of new thing to quarrel each time.
tuptup: " so blah blah blah XXX and meeting u was like a dream come true"
taptap : "yup. and the dream became a nightmare"
....

See..i told u i was in the muslim attire. haha
