"Hey, how you been? Wanted to send you this message yesterday. Happy birthday. Had a great time?"
many would have gone through the influence state of mind that 'you can only have 1 best friend' as a primary sch kid and thinking back, i really used to have one best friend. we were always enjoying each other company, studying together, playing together, eat together.
i wasnt a hardworking kid and i like to play alot. used to give excuses to my mother so i can play zero-point, 5-stones and etc with friend after sch and was quite an expert as a result *hiak hiak* however i will complete those maths and sciences mock exams and tests given by teachers as i like these subjects and would pass to my best friend for reference. [forgotten whats the frequency rate] Although i really didnt study for my PSLE, maybe its the constant practise on mock exams and tests given by teachers or is it my sheer luck, i was able to get decent result for the sch that i wish to get in coz its just beside my flat!
my best friend werent as lucky as me, she need to appeal to get to the sch [cant remember if thats her choice of sch before appeal] and i was excited that we ended up in the same class again but i guessed her ego/pride had been hurt due to the appeal. since then i felt a change of character in her, she had became a perfectionist in term of studies and friendship.
nobody is perfect ... i am not a perfect person ...
"why u didnt tell me you joining them for.."
"why u didnt tell me there's a update in ur literature note"
"why u didnt... "
need to report everything to her? i felt very restricted, i have lost my freedom. i didnt let her know abt my feelings and thoughts on her change in character but started to find excuses to drift away from her. i am really suffocated by her constant 'why you didnt' qns and couldnt stand it much longer, i wanna break free.
finally, she sensed there's something amiss and she want to meet up and have a chat to find out what's the problem and clear the differences.
but i chose not to, i dont wanna talk about it. i dont really dare to meet up with her, is it the feeling of guilty or fear?
soon we were on the different path. i dont know what is her side of story, but some ppl at her side came to tell me off. but i wouldnt care, i want my freedom.
we were strangers from that day till the day we graduate, but it's the day the stranger-feeling starts to fade. we started to chat and meet up on bday celebration with a particular group of friends. as everyone are busy with their new life in poly and jc, most of us lost communication with one another.
.
.
.
.
the only constant is the constant change.
ppl matured as they grew, so do i.
given a scenario, we would have a diff approach in handling the matter as compared when we were young and now.
maybe i should have meet up with her and clarify our differences.
maybe she would be the same old good pal of mine, hanging out together w/o the feeling of restriction.
maybe..

meet pooh gang for ktv bday celebration @ centrepoint for lunch and they presented me with their gifts =) cosmetics from all of them and make-up/manicure set from xiaoling =D will pick up some skills soon and make full use of their gifts coz i dont know how to make-up and manicure!
*gasp!* "didnt even know how to make-up!?! are u a girl?" some ppl might exclaimed in disbelief! but thats true! i rather had more time to sleep then to spend time sitting infront of the mirror =P
in addition, everyone received some cute stuff gv promo stuff from xl. i had medagascar's evil penguin towel and giffale cup cover.
they surprised me by treating me to a massage before our ktv marathon and i opt for leg massage eheh. 1st time having leg massage and it wasnt that painful and tickish as what i saw on tv prog. the guy didnt use much strength? i dont know ahaha but i doubt that i am v.healthy =|
soon we had our ktv session at cappuge. lalalalaaa~ and after ktv session, xl gotta rush off for wk @ gv and the 3 of us had some 'snacks' @ wakura. had a taste of the salmon cheese potato salad that sally recommend and its yummy! *drools* and we shared a set of cha soba, udon and katsu don among the 3 of us =D
didnt had a full day celebration with them coz i will be meeting my family for bday supper celebration =D
later @ night, i was thinking of treating family and kt to porridge buffet @ quality hotel, recommended by albert. called up the hotel to make reservation but it was a 1st-come-1st-served-basic and was told by the staff that the place was full-hse at that momment for their dinner. thinking that we might not have the seats by the time we reached as there @ 2300++, i decided to forgo the idea and was fanatically asking for more opinions on where to eat for supper. han suggested having those famous dished such as beef horfun, frog leg porridge, bean curd @ geylang!
cake cutting session was up next with the new green tea favoured cake from my parents =) after enjoying the cake and packing a piece of it for sis, the 5 of us [dad, mum, han, kt and me] were on our way to pick up my sis.
after sis had settled down in the car, she passed me a plastic bag which i thought was her stuff initially. and to my surprise, it was the eeyore pillow which i had eyed for it few days ago while walking pass mini-toon! the inital gift from them would be the eeyore doll, hehe sis preferred the small size while han perferred the big size but in the end both out of stock =P thus the cute eeyore pillow!
thanx alot sis and han =D
the supper was great!
ordered large pot of froggie with 'gong bao sauce', a pot of porridge for the froggie, hokkien mee, beef horfun, bbq chicken wings and oyster ommelette w/o oyster hehe! yum yum yum! all is v.yummy though we had ate at geylang before @ no signboard and those durian stalls, the feeling today is different! i am really happy to have this feast together with my family @ geylang tonight.
maybe its the street-stall ambience which i like, savouring those yummy foods. maybe its the happiness in sharing yummy foods together with my family. maybe its my bday and everyone closed to me is gathered together. maybe its the last bday celebration as a 'single' with my family [reminded by sally earlier this noon]
but whatever it is, i am really happy to celebrate my bday with 6 buddies and my family =)

durian feast @ bugis with h.s.a ex collegues.
was having bad sore throat in the morning but still decided to meet up with them as i was feeling better by evening. quite surprise with the no. of ppl present as i thought it would be only some closer collegues.
i dont have any special expectation from durian as long as the durian is not hard or tasteless, i will be very happy already =P *yummy*
was a happy sleepy pig on my way hm and manage to rot in front of tv for a while before preparing for my meeting with zMonster, then something 'creepy' happened.. was quite a strange flow of events actually.
0125: prepare to charge my hp
my hp was flat for the whole day and i dont normally switch on my hp during charging time but as kt would be coming over to my place to zzz @ ard 0300 after his wk, i would need to switch on my hp for him to contact me when he had reached my place.
0128: recieving incoming sms,
was waiting to start a game with cl initially but he had smsed me to inform me that his com had hang and was going to zzz. but i didnt know it till i swtich on my hp.
0128: recieving incoming voicemail,
i dont normally check out my voice messages as ppl dont leave voicemails nowadays especially when my hp when flat, ppl might get auto direct into my mailbox. didnt check voicemails for yrs but strangly i dont know why, i actually when to check if someone really left a voicemail for me.
i heard some classical music playing.. *gooosebumps* imagine my group of friend wasnt into classical music and in the middle of the night someone is recording classical music for me?!! someone must be playing planks on me, i havent really finish listening to check if the person left down any messages after the music coz i am too tired as the song must be damn long, after 1 min the song is still playing..
due to the short bundle-up charging cable that made difficulties in holding the phone near my ear, i switch on loudspeaker, imagine the dead quiet hse with the music playing from my hp.. -_-"
0130: beep beep, incoming voicemail..

had a pre-bday celebration with lynn, sharon and miaoqun at tampines. had dinner @ Din Tai Fung, 1st time eating some of the dishes and xiao long bao was one of them.. hehe not i suaku, but its was so expensive that i dont normally bear to spend that kind of $$ =P but this kinda celebration i think is still quite okie to treat my best buddies =D
before the disehes were served, sharon present me with a scatch-a-present card. so cute and innovative, it was a card to determine what presents i will get from them and i got a free meal =D wanted to treat them insted but was treated instead =P and they pass me my bday card with $88 bucks inside.. hehe thanx gals actually thats what i really need now hehee! hope the 88 bucks will make me "fa" and be rich ehheehe =D
soon, we were walking ard finding places to settle for our dessert and we ended up @ cafe cartel. yummy chicago cheesecake and giantantic Viking Rock, consisting of 10 scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice-cream with cookie chunks. didnt know the serving was so giantantic thus we cant manage to finish, so i suggest to have games of scissor, paper, stone among the 4 of us as forfeits and miaoqun is the unlucky one hehe.
thanx alot gals, really enjoyed meeting up with u all. hope i will have more time to meet up with u all soon =) hope i can get my 'schedule' and update u when u gals can come over my place for a swim =)
not to forget,
kor, thanx for ur bb eeyore =D it is now sitting on my office monitor hehee.

so scary to hear abt 3 ppl getting hospitalise within a wk.
-after wk,

after awhile, kt and me rush down to cgh to visit cl. to our surprise, the bed allocated was empty! *horror! did we get to the wrong hospital?* thus we check with the nurse and realise that he had been discharged! thus we ended up @ tampines eating dinner with them but he look quite off-coloured.

sis: u wanna feel the baby kicking?
zzz: yes yes!!
sis pull my hand and place it on her tummy where the bb is kicking
sis: u need to wait awhile ah
very soon, bb is kicking and i felt it!
zzz: i felt it!! hehehehe
the feeling is so amazing that the little one is growing day by day in my sis and i can actually feel the little one. i used to wonder in the past why ppl get so excited when they felt the bb kicking their mummy.
now i had experienced the excitement myself. =D

Today was my last day @ ta..
I thought i would be really glad to leave this place coz the working environment or should i say the company 'goals' was very much different from my jobscope and there's nothing much left for me to contribute to this company unless i changed my jobscope to what i am not that interested in.
was climbing up the stairs to my office and i had kinda strange thoughts/feelings that 'today i am still on my way to ta but next monday i wouldnt be here anymore'. though i was with the company for only slightly less than 3 mths but i had some sense of belonging to ta already.
was thinking of treating them famous amos cookie the night before but there wasnt any nearby stores for me to purchase but i was lucky! the nearby petrol station's ntuc was selling mini packed carbuary hazel nuts cookie and i bought it back for everyone =)
during these 3 mths, i am really bz with my wk @ ta and helping dad that at some point of time, i had the "i was having my retribution for slacking my time away @ hsa during the past 3 yrs that i dont had much time to even sleep now". but i was glad that i had slogged hard to get rid of my slacking lifestyle and i succeed! coz i was actually feeling weird that i had nothing to do for the last 20 mins in ta.
now, i felt that i was exposed to different life experiences in different company regardless of the length of stay which i felt its good to accumalate these experience along my way to my goal in the future.

I thought I will be bz like hell for the last few days @ ta.. but it seems like 2 guys will be doing the system interface and I am now like rotting piece of lard [coz I am piggy pig] Arghz! If I knew it would be like that, I would not request new company director to let me start wk on 11th Monday instead of 8th Friday!
Everyone seems to be in s.c.s why I am so unlucky to meet that stupid ediotic pm?!?!!!! Damn him.. else I think I will be happily working @ s.c.s with my friends and 1 of them is starting wk there soon though most ppl @ different location.
Maybe I should try s.c.s again one fine day and show that ediotic pm that I am someone with much capable to do something BIG! And its their lost to employ me in the future and not the past! *wah I so bhb.. puke*
*edited
when I thought I am rotting away like a piece of lard, the interface design is throw back to me… so I am bz again.. but starting new job on Monday is good too, finally I had a sys-free feeling on weekend! =D

sms manager to inform him regarding my resignation last night, coz I was quite bz till I forgot to tell him during office hr. thus we had a chat this morn and its quite a nice one. He advised me on some of his past experience to let me know that I should planned what I wanna be next time and move on from programmer to other fields. Yeah I know that I cant be a programmer for life coz ppl can easily employ other programming experts from other country @ cheaper rate.
After the chat, told s about my resignation coz he will be the one taking over after I left. During lunch time, inform another 2 ppl that are lunching with me.
I began to type and print resignation letter but had typo in the initial copy and need a reprint but I forgot to take the printout and j [haven’t told her that I’m quitting] saw it and grinned @ me. so paiseh!!
Now I am thinking of buying on fri to treat them.
