^^Wongpo Fun & Chai Pak Hang^^

finally finished watching this tvb serial.!!.. meaningful and will make you think about what's life all about.. esp liked the part about ah fun(guy) and ah kiu 's(gal) relationship.. ah kiu started out liking ah fun but coz ah fun cannot let go of the memories of his dead galfren who died in a tragic hit and run accident 8 years ago, refuse to acknowledge the care n concern of ah kiu. instead, happens that another doctor, ah ching, likes ah kiu and really treated her very well.ah kiu felt rejected and seeing how ah ching treats her, was touched and wavered on accepting ah ching. but when ah kiu started seeing ah ching, ah fun felt jealous and awkard as ah ching is also his good friend. Not knowing how to respond, he stupidly tries to create more chances for ah kiu and ah ching and like wish them all the best. Then, one fine day, ah ching proposed to ah kiu. it was then when ah kiu realised that she hasn't gotten over ah fun at all and rejected the poor really handsome guy's proposal ( he's really handsome lor!!if it's me, i'll choose ah ching!). then stupid ah ching went to encourage ah to be more proactive in chasing ah kiu if he really likes her. so ah fun confidently went up to ah kiu to express his love, wanting her to be his galfren. This is totally da me! he took advantage of the fact that he knows ah kiu likes him from the very start and without doing anything, wants to make her his gal. ah kiu was pissed and voiced it out when ah fun abruptly brings her home to meet his parents saying that she's his galfren. da me!
ah kiu said to ah fun, you just assumed everything, i feel uncomfortable that you tell the whole world i'm your galfren when i haven't even felt that you ever courted me before.it's weird....

...how much i agree with this! some guys just take it for granted.. i feel that all r/s should go thru the natural process of courtship before embarking on a real committment. it's important coz the efforts by the guy will give the gal assurance that he's serious about it and not just trying to get a galfren using the fact that the gal is nice and has some feelings for him. no matter how real this form of assurance is, it counts i feel. ..

after this omoshiroii essay, don't you think i'm a guru. call me natsuri guru!

wa..it's coming end may already!!

..wah.. havent written for a long time..been busy and with my shift timing..i'm so dis-oriented..like i have lots to do like packing my room, burn a new disc,update the songs in my mp3, go to the gym,play badminton,develop photos, collect my new levis!(hah..which i am gg to collect tomorrow..finally..), limitless gatherings (think after starting worklife, my frens n i tend to make an effort to meet up more...i wonder why that's the case tho.. but it's pretty cool anyways!), to go pulau ubin to cycle, eat coca again... save $... print lyrics, check my mails, chase nick cheung's tvb serial...blah blah... oh yah..n motto nihongo o benkyoshimasu... so many things to do, so little time, limited energy..restless.

my bro bought a new sleek barebone computer! kaoz..then dumped the old comp in my room.. took the modem. so i'm left with a kom-pyu-ta with flickering and blurry monitor and one that isn't able to shut down properly, without internet access also. sighz. but at least i can upload digital pics n listen to music! ...we must be contented with what we have! going to buy a router for internet access soon...what's a computer without internet?! but i'm unhappy coz my room now looks really cramped up with the comp...wait till my okane recovers then i want to buy new comp too!! ... bai4 liu4 li3 bai4, hui4 bu4 hui4 kai1.........

1am-random thots.~

read an interesting article on how long one can go without having a handphone... reminds me that day i was supposed to have a dinner gathering at night and in the day i met up with a friend...and i forgot my mobile. how suayz..just when i have a full day planned ahead..and need to be updated if there're any change of plans etc... if i'm going hougang mall or hougang green or hougang point or hougang ave 8 market, it's ok lor..

for me i'm not those who sleep with their handphone cradled in their pillows, sometimes when i'm engaged with my own stuff, i don't even bother to reply smses or answer my phone...don't think i dao or something..coz logically speaking,if you sms me, means i can take my time to reply and usually it's not urgent. if not, you would have called me direct. but then again, if you call me, i'm super deaf when it comes to ringing handphones..somehow I'm not those who glance at their phones every 10min.. so gomen nasai if i just missed your call..hehz..

cursed seat..i didn't believe in it till I sat there.

... today i was hotseating at my colleague's lau juli's seat...was happily telling a few others where i'm sitting and they wished me good luck coz her seat is known for getting all the bad n troublesome calls... i was like ..HUH.. there's such a thing meh.. then followed by a series sure anots...

...yesssss! it's true! so far during my night shifts all my calls were alright and this is first time i'm sitting at her seat.....i've since got 1 mah fan case one after another.... poor buddies gotta follow up for me tmw as i'm in only late noon...arghh.! ....now i believe... i believe i can fly....i believe i can touch the sky...~ wahhaa.. but hor..on a lighter note, the cases actually stimulated my brain cells a little as I havent gotten such cases for a long time...oops..TABOO. i feel super challenged!!

anyways, 20min to knock off! ..waaa..i'm counting down again..i'm always counting down to knock off time whenever i blog....okie..must stop..like dam demoralising and sad... but wat to do..company ban all the sites to surf and only my blog site is spared....so i'll normally blog at work....

great song and the mtv is so sad!!!sob sob... (TT)

P/s: Specially for you sharon san..enjoy n savour....

7.59pm at work..

..it's a cold rainy day ,perfect weather for nua-ing and sleeping at home..but. i'm not. life is as such...zannen deshita ne. wish i could enter jap fonts into my blog..but the office (aka..."orpit"...thats how my dad pronounces it..) doesnt have such programs...lousy.

new head has taken over call centre and first thing she did was to put plants and greenery in our already very cramped workplace.. every pillar in call centre has a huge pot of plant that is about an average human being's height. kaoz...so squeezy. the plants are fighting for oxygen with us and they're cramping up the place plus obstruction to our movement and also makes call centre look like a jungle... think the 1st person to lodge a complaint will be the cleaner auntie...she can't get the vacuum cleaner in and out easily due to the plants...she was just screaming the other day.

well...in addition, each team is given a ugly green notice board which looks like a mahjong table to decorate. my team's name is Jaguar...wat a song2 name!! yucks...it's not by choice ok...we're suppose to name our teams after brands of cars... how innovative. i see colleagues staying back to do the board n some even coming back on off days to do it..out of goodwill..no OT pay also. this is just the beginning...more changes to come...

time to go.....!!

talented shin

anOther pic of shin~
....talking about a shin... i realised how talented he is. he composes all the lyrics and songs for mayday and i thought composing lyrics was easy. not until when mr alfian asked me to fill in lyrics for his song..wakarimasen why he can't fill in english lyrics and wants me to fill chinese lyrics for his song.he said the tune of the song is more suited for chinese lyrics..okie.anything. well, that wasn't the first time.. i struggled to pen lyrics for the previous song for him as well..and alamak. it was super hard...the most brain cell draining activity i've ever attempted. plus i'm not that musically inclined so i gotta play the melody as i fill the lyrics to get the tune. rewinding and forwarding..kaoz. tsukaremashita yo. then turn out my lyrics like very soapy and drama...my goosebumps pop up when i sang it to myself.eeeks. change!

so....not looking forward to the upcoming challenge...dunno can reject not. :P
it's 2am now.... natsuri san! tanjobi omedeto gozaimasu! eating chicken chop with the company of irritating customers and jene...guan hock....shawn.... and Zhou Chuan Xiong on 933fm ... yawnz

Mind Boggling

this is quite fun.. i could get out of this room! hah..

http://flash.qbol.net/pl;p/youxi/images/04042203.swf

There are 13 items hidden in this room in order to let you get out of this room.
If you found:
0-6 items, your IQ is very low, total idiot
6-8 items, Low IQ, u r an idiot
9-10 items, u r normal 11-12 items, your IQ is high, above the average.
13 items found and get out of the room, there are less than 4000 people in the world can do it.

my idol! jay chou.... jie lun!! (^_^)/ 

sepet!

..shucks! logged in late...dam. was watching a movie "Sepet" and was so engrossed in it that i didn't realise my break time was over...great..graveyard still can log in late.heh.

omoshiroii no eiga desu ne. meaning:interesting movie....Sepet means slit eyed in malay i think,aka referring to the chinese. about a malay gal (Orked) in love with a chinese guy ,a typical ah beng (Jason Lee Seow Loong..super corny). After they overcame the psychological barriers of inter racial relationships and objections from their parents, orked finally decided to call jason to tell him how she felt towards him as she'll be going overseas for a scholarship. Jason had been waiting for her to call him for many days. The movie ended showing 2 shots- jason's mobile on the floor ringing but he's unconscious beside an overturned bike. Then showed a guy picked up orked's call and answered her in a robotic manner (errm..as in his answers to her questions are short n curt, yes i understand. its alright. it's ok. i love you too. ..). and the show ended. owarimasu.

My guess would be that the guy who answered is jason's good friend who didn't want to hurt her or affect her mood as she'll be going overseas soon. So his answers are short n robotic so as not to give himself away...should be la huh. well, my colleague junyi think that jason's friend killed him as he did have a crush on orked before, and wants to get orked for himself. ..which i think is highly impossible.
Another guess I have would be that the guy who picked up the call was actually an illusion or hallucination on the part of orked, as both missed each other so much and to make the story complete, calls the need to end it in an abstract way. However, junyi doesn't quite agree with this and insist that i think to much. can be what...anything is possible as it was open ended..

so how now brown cow...what you all think about inter-racial relationships? i find it difficult to come to a consensus leh...and of course, for my parents as well.lol. think as old as i can get, i will still be thinking about it...

a spoof of my fave backstreet boys song :(

.....but it's actually quite funny...haha.

Victors - yummy + value for money

wanna introduce u all to this gelare restaurant/cafe in marina square ~VICTORS-

If you go from sun-thurs for dinner, it's $13.90 + and this is wat it includes:
- Soup of the day (man..their mushroom soup is super authentic..yummy)
- A bread pizza cheese thingy (we din order this but was served to us-on the house!)
- Entree aka main course ( all the food on the menu sounds oishii. i ordered honey-glazed chicken leg and they gave me like half a chicken...super big.good for the hungry)
- Gelare ice cream ( a choice b/w mango or coffee..i chose mango of coz. huge scoop as well..stuffed by this time)
- A drink (choice of soft drinks, tea or coffee)

Lucky I was hungry that day...hehz. my eating patterns are seriously disrupted due to my graveyard shift..head right to my bed once i reach home and only eat when i wake up. and best.i feel extremely hungry at night. aka hungry shift.

just had a sumptous dinner of chicken rice and otah and herbal soup... tink should be able to tahan through the night...... mata ashita~

result of good photography.. me n merlion!..looks ghostly actually.. errrr 

graveyarding~~

harlo halo... ohayo...selamat pagi...zao an...good morning! it's 4.46am now..at work with my headset on one ear and my earphones in the other ear..the beauty of multi tasking. 10 min more to my breaktime..phew..think will sleep awhile later. yawnzx100.

my first time trying out graveyard shift..cool and yet not so cool. when i'm so tired but i can't seem to sleep in the day.now i'm suffering from the effects. but cool, i like it when i don't have to spend time to dress up in office wear. office wear is so boring and mundane.women must wear heels.basic colors are black, white, pink,grey and stripes. boring. i hate it.then we must carry those dainty bags or document bags to work so as to go with the outfit, which i hardly do nowadays coz i can't be bothered anymore. sometimes i even wear flats to work...ssshh.
I just don't understand why we must be dressed in the so called office wear. It's so stereotypical. Must it be this way?.zenzen wakarimasen ne. i always hope that one day someone will set the trend of dressing casually to work but of coz stylishly la, not those ah mah-ish market wear.
yeah....!!

stoning already...not sure whether what i've typed makes sense. hope it does.if not, i'll post a better one. okie..taking my short nap...mata ne.

white water rafting trip KL 30/4/05 - 2/5/05~

..welcome back to singapore natsuri san! I'm talking to myself..so sorry.heh. I just reached Singapore last night from a rafting trip to KL.Erm.as for exact location, I really cannot remember. I would think it's in a small town called Kempar or something like that. I'll check it out and update if i can remember. Here goes my itinery for the 3 days 2 nights trip:

Day 01: 30/4/05
I met up with the rest of the tour mates at Kranji MRT station at 7am..such an ungodly timing rite. I had to wake up at like 5.30am to get ready and do some last minute packing.( and I can't believe that after 2 hours of packing the night before and last minute packing, I still brought the wrong clothings and forgot my toothpaste lor. Not to mention that i brought a sling bag which really killed my shoulders and my bag was one of the bulkiest.I look like I'm going for a 5 days trip or something...sianz)

We took the 170 bus to the customs, but ended up walking to the customs instead as there was a mega jam. hot, hot, atsui, humid, taihen atsui ne! and guess what. I was wearing jeans and a tank top. jeans..nice body hugging jeans with sneakers and I look like I'm going town for a shopping trip. I wonder why. By the end of my walking, the jeans were stuck onto my legs and i could barely walk with my shoulders dying.

The clearing of customs was surprisingly smooth since i thought the whole of singapore should be scrambling out of country for this long labor day weekend,ok..maybe not so early.
Waited to no avail for bus 170 and we took cab instead. Our group mates started hailing cabs in the middle of the road junction with many drivers, fingers hovering just above there horns. It's stupid lor..(i went to the side of the road where it was safer,fyi)...they flagged a cab finally and what did they do? instead of getting onto the cab, they asked the cab driver to fetch us as we were further front (duh. again endangering their lives. abunai yo!).
Reached Larkin at 9am and rushed to get our breakfast and hopped onto the bus at 9.30am.We finallybegan the long bus ride to KL. In between, we stopped at Yong Peng for meals n our toilet break. My friend complained that the toilets were cannot make it.But trust me, they're way better than china toilets. So not much for me to complain on that. I feel quite contented actually.heh.

5pm- The bus pulled up at about 300 m before our hotel.Expected. There was a mega jam.Again! kaoz. Aruite again lor. Our hotel was situated above KL's bus station and god,it was like entering an oven when i stepped into the station. People people and more hito!Made our way up to our hotel and settled the accomodations and stuff. We created a small commotion when one of my tour mate wanted a change of room number coz we were given room 913..(aka inauspicious number according to her la... i got no idea). and bingo. since it was an inauspicious number, of coz nobody will want to change with us rite. But coz it was just the first day and none of us knew each other very well and all still paiseh and courteous towards one another, we managed to swap the rooms without much explicit objections. keke. Just a lot of rolling of eyes and bitching behind the doors.

5.45pm -We gathered at the lobby for our dinner.Aruite (again) to Sungei Wang shopping centre to makan. We had dinner at this place called "Tong2 Luo2 Wan1" where they serve HK dishes.I ordered Shrimp Dumpling Noodle soup... (psst...sharon san: it was good..but i still think the sydney chinatown one is still the best!oishii ne!) and a drink upon translation is called "purple stockings milk tea from Macau" ..which was so so good. Enough about food! now to shopping.
Sungei Wang was a huge complex and the time allocated wasn't enuff to even shop the 1st level! but still managed to get a pair of shoes from Vincci (the local shoe brand-the shoes are cheap n comfortable and they have a few outlets in singapore as well). Then began our trip to supper and we headed back to the hotel at 11 plus. that pretty much sums up the day n I gotta go and take calls now!! (working graveyard shift!! (-_-)ZzzZZzz ... will update later.

Day 02: 1/5/05

Our day began at 6am and bus fetched us at 7am prompt.Today is when we'll so our long awaited rafting! I haven't tried it before and was so excited.BUT the van journey was terrible. We had 12 people but the van only had 11 seats. sucks man.And 4 girls had to share a 3 seater. Guess what. I'm one of them. Not even half my butt was on the seat and I can really feel the curved edge of the seat jabbing into my back. One of my gals even had to sit upstraight in a yoga pose so as to make more space..thanks gina. The van was considered ex as we paid $50 ringgit each ( I think it's ex coz it's m'sia and petrol is so cheap lo). Somehow nobody in our tour group noticed that we're squeezing in the bus.Nobody asked whether we feel ok or what.Even if nothing can be done, it's nice to just ask. We would feel much better lo. No. The guys slept like pigs.During the break, I even had to ask if they could swap seats with us so that we could take the longer 3 seater behind. We still had to squeeze a bit though, better than nothing.
By the way, the trip was like 3 hours. (-_-ll)

We reached our rafting destination at about 11am,only to be told that we are scheduled to Raft only at 1.30pm.!! it's crazy lor..then they gave some stupid excuse that they thought we wanted to do tubing so they arranged for us to come at 11am, do tubing then do rafting.Rubbish, we told them we not doing that the night before. still..... great, we were sitting around in the hot sun shoo-ing away houseflies (dunno where they come from also..alot lo) and perspiring like mad.
After 1 hour or so, the rafting operators came and asked us to go for lunch first in the town nearby (it's like 1/2 hr drive) and after that it'll be just nice for rafting at 1.30.sounds good rite. We finished our lunch at 1.15pm and the restaurant people refused to let us go coz the operator needs to come down to settle the bill first (coz lunch was included in the package). Waited till 2pm for them to come down and can't see nobody. Fed up, we just got the driver to drive us back. Noone was there when we returned. We just waited again from 2.30 to 4 before we saw signs of our raft. we complained to the operator coz we waited super long and demanded some sort of compensation but they just avoided the topic by saying with enthusiacism " oh yeah, let's raft!" pissed pissed pissed.

Actual rafting began only at 4.15. and guess what. It began drizzling.! kaoz! irritated!!
luckily the rain ceased after a while. However, this rafting thingy was graded a 3 out of 5 coz the waters are more for beginners. Well, I had a souvenir out of this rafting. I fell out of the raft and right onto the rocks of the waters.S.U.A.Y. The rocks crashed right into my face. lucky i had a helmet on, if not i would have suffered from concussion. haha..good thing my group mates rescued me in time though and that I had paid attention to the safety briefing before the rafting so I knoew exactly what to do when i fell over.heh.

It ended after 1 hour 15 min and the van picked us up at about 6pm.Sighz. a whole day of waiting and for this 1 hr of rafting. Such a waste of time ! the horor was that the trip back was another 3 hrs and with my wet clothings in aircon, it was super uncomfortable sitting in the cramp van. The driver drove all the way without stopping as he was in a rush to go home and this delay wasn't expected at all. Managed to reach KL at 9pm and had our dinner. gosh.hungry...wet and tsukaremashita ne.

Since it was going to be our last night in KL, my room mates and I stayed up to roam the streets awhile... had real nice teh tarik at a roadside stall and then ate ramly burger. It was so good lor! all should try! yummy! at about 2am..we went back to our room and retired for the night after a rambutan yakking session..hehz

Day 03: 2/5/05
Shared a cab to KLCC to have our breakfast.Wowed at the amazing architecture of the Twin Towers and snapped super alot of pictures there, followed by shopping spree at my fave vincci again (chked out singapore's vincci for the shoes i bought, and it was cheaper! yeah). Had the famous roti boy for lunch and head back to Pudu Raya Hotel (missed out the name of the hotel) to catch our bus at 1.30pm..
okie..think i'll end it here.. didn't realised how long my post is! and this marks the end of my work as well! yippe...knock off time in 45 min.... zZzzz
