Meet ups with long - uncontacted friends surely felt good =)

" we can skip all the warming up bullshit and still talk like the years hasnt gone by "

That was the nicest i've heard all evening yesterday.

Finally a month in BMT. PTP phase is over, but hell, I ain't getting anywhere nearer to my ippt aim.
Yea, there's improvement but there's more to be done.

Endure all the way.

Its funny how people easily get influenced by our peers, the latest trend, and, the most important one of all, the media. Hahs. Well, basically, if you're rich, and your company's doing damn well in the market, your company's name and / or products' name will be famous all over the world. And when that happens, funny stuffs starts happening.

Here's a conversation i've heard once, while strolling at the supermarket with my parents one day,

" LAO GONG AH, shall we buy more pampers? Our baby needs more. At home running out liao. " Said this middle age lady, probably in her mid 30s.

Well, first fact, Pampers isn't the correct term to be used. Pampers's the brand name. LOLS. It should be called diapers. Well, there are many other brands of diapers too. Mummy poko pants and even huggies! Imagine saying you wanna purchase hugs. hahs, and there are people in the world giving out free hugs. The irony.

Another classic example is buying toothpaste. Colgate, being one of the top brands in singapore, is very much commonly known in singapore. " Mummy, at home no more colgate already. " And mum comes home with DARLIE and says " nah, here's your colgate. "
There's sensodyne, the kids' famous lion brand and of course, the tri - coloured aquafresh.

The one that relates closer to home (at least for me) is tupperware. Ever heard of people wanting to ta pao their food? The common conversation would be " EH. help me pack the food into the tupperware. I want to bring home " There goes the food into a common plastic container. How can that be comparable to a tupperware??!! My mum's a tupperware dealer. And i must say, my home's filled with em. and they're not like any other plastic container. even much better that lock & lock (in my opinion that is )

Although there's many more other examples that others can think off, but this is just something hilarious that came across my mind the other day. hahs. oh wells.

On another note: Army in week's time. YEA! & uh-huh.

As go through my email today, I stumbled across a facisnating email sent to me. I shan't say who its from, but yea, just wanna share something.

This is an exerpt rom it.

12) "I want to spill my heart and tell you my life sucks" blogs are for
losers. They dramatize situations and make you feel even more victimized.
Instead of "telling" people about your feelings and failures, take
action to change and improve your habits and personality. (They are linked.)

It's a much more productive use of your time!

I guess this is very true.

I finally took off the damn bandage stuck on my left foot.
The torture, oh, not the pain of the foot, but not being able to wash my foot. hahs.

well anyways,

BON VOYAGE Tingwei!

well its always a new experience in a foreign country =)

                                                                        
What should we do, when all seems a blur?
I've reach the point, where I need to make a stand.
No more hiding behind the closet in a curl.
I should decide and do something, maybe not? Maybe i can.

Its time to tear away the excuses, yes okay.
Its time to really sit down and think.
Now, what i really want in life you say?
oh my, I've got nothing that really links.

I'm feeling kinda poetic tonights.
Although i think it pretty much sucked.
I so seriously need to think about my future.
damn, mum's right.

" Never judge a book by its cover "

This phrase has many disputed origins, some say it first appeared in 1944, in an American journal, others say it first appeared in the murder mystery novel, Murder in the Glass Room, by Edwin Rolfe and Lester Fuller.  Some even claimed that the idea came about in the early 16 century.

Well, no matter where, whom or when it came from, this phrase is very true, even till today.

I had my very first, significant impression of this phrase recently, during work. Working at the robinsons expo sales has exposed me to many people, especially new friends. There's this particular cashier collegue of mine. He has medium length spiky hair, and straight fringe that falls all the way down his face. ( parting to the side, so you can actually still see his eyes) Furthermore, he has this face. Hahs, one look and this first thought that came to my mind. " wtf, freaking beng "

Intially, i didn't really liked him. The way he speaks to customers, the way he calls customers lining up in queue to the till and such. Untill i finally got to speak to him and such.

Here's the nice part. He's in NTU.

" !!! Beng can go to NTU? wtf? "

Thats the common thought for most of the other cashiers who werent that close to him. AFter i got to know him better, he's actually a really nice person. Just that he looks and sometimes behaves like a typical beng. And he's in NTU!  Look where am i heading. hahs.

Here's what he said when i told him about the first impression he gave me

I said " eh, i though you sec 2 drop out. LOLS "
HE went " hahs. I told that to many others. Its not the appearance, its the heart that counts "

That sounds so true.

On another note, here's my own quote I came up with.

" Where ever you go, there'll be people who like you, love you, who really will be there for you when you need em.
There'll also be others who hate you damn right down to the core. Rather than associating with those who put you down and make your life miserable, GO and be with those who really appreciate you for who you really are =) "

Almost 2 weeks of work at the Robinsons Expo fair.
New people, new friends, new challenges.
Working at the front line service (as a cashier) may bring certain satisfactions,
but they too, bring fucked up moments and disappointments,
be in it yourself or others.

Nonetheless, its a refreshing new experience =)

So far, I've only met one sarcastic late 40's/ early 50's lady.

" Excuse me madam, Where did you get this shoe from? " I said.
" Robinsons "

zzz

And not to mention that she was wearing this blacken face that looks
far darker than the full black unifrom the cashiers were all wearing.

oh wells. Just another day =)

Just another week of work.

" In this life, we often lose everything we try to keep,
And get to keep everything we try to give away. "

I would have credited the person who came up with this quote,
but i didn't took notice bout it.

This is so true isn't it?
does the next line go

"  Make do with the things you have now, rather wishing to have things that you want oh so much. "

hahs. thats random by me. but yea. oh so true.

PS: damn it. maybe i shouldn't get a new cpu afterall. sheesh.

hahas. came across this quote.

" Don't know to do, is just another excuse for not learning hard enough "

that is so damn true ain't it?
Applies to various aspects in life actually =)




 

So i am here once again. Back to clear up the cob webs, dust and eeky pest before they start to claim my lj here their home.

I used to be  frequent blogger, way back in secondary school. Maybe i had much more time then. Maybe its cos i ain't that involve in that many stuffs as i am now. Or rather, maybe i am just plain lazy now. It seems like i'm always saying this eh, coming back to blog, this and that. But i dont usually do that.

Guess there ain't anything that interesting to blog about these days. hahs
Or, they're in too much detail that i'd rather not blog about em.

OH WELLS. GRINSxD

PS: when's sentosa gonna reply me. hmmm.

Tell you guys something. I've been blog-hopping ( something which i don't usually do, cos i'm lazy. and when i actually do it, i'm lagging way far behind. LOLS) and realised that many people have evolve from their own way of blogging.

Well, what do i mean by that? I remember setting up my first blog years back during secondary, and yea. havent heard of live journal at the point of time. It just seemed like everyone's using blogger. And the funny thing is, I realised that most bloggers those days have a similar style. Something like,

" I woke up today with in an awkward position where my body was scrawn up. I even had a weird dream of me being chased my unknown people, going after my head. Anyways, i play dota for 2 hours and trashed some noobs using blah blah blah... "

Its kinda like people blog upon what they do for the day. Even if nothing's interesting. okay. not everyone. but most people. during that time. And being the perpetual lazy person, my blog became kinda quiet after a while. And by the time i finally got back(can't rmber how long that took), I found blogging fun again.

Not because you get to know what people do each and everyday. LOL. that'd make us all stalkers without knowing it. And the person blogging a huge dumb ass. Its cos people blog about interesting stuffs. okay, I wonder why i'm saying all these.

Maybe i'm trying to find a new way to blog. Maybe i might just blog more frequently nowadays. oh and yea. I can sure forsee where this will all lead to. Cos eventually, I'm LAZY. HAHs.

Yawns. Guess what.  Its a monday and i'm home. Yea, its my offday. A freaking offday with no one around at home. sheesh.
oh wells. I've alrdy been surviving this weird set up for 3 whole months and counting. Shall not rant about it no more.

Being alone on a blue-y monday has given my much time to ponder and reflect about everything that i've gone through so far. Bumpy obstacles, tough-too-handle situtations, stress-that-makes-you-feel-like-plucking-off-all-your-hair, these are some stuffs that I believe everyone have gone / will go through in their lives up to the present. And admist all that, the one factor that makes you stay sane while you battle all those shit is : Family and Friends.

Had a mini family gathering (father's side) yesterday to celebrate my grandmother's bday. At least most of the cousins were there.
Aside from the waiting for the food, which took like forever to be prepared, I overheard my grandmother saying to my mum.
" The whole lot of them are not close cousins " or something along that line. Being a 21st century mum who accepts technology in our everyday lives, she replied, " Who says they're not close? Everyday also chat on the computer! "

That conversation,although adrupt and short, made me ponder for a about 2 seconds, before i head back into complaining to my cousins about the food taking along time. 2 seconds isn't that long, but its long enough to make me realise that i really wasn't that close with my own kin. Guess everyone's busy with their own lives. There's simply no time!

And having the need to go through SIP certainly does takes a toll outta your time, and your life. I've always believe that this SIP, no matter how frustrating, time consuming, irritating, and stressful till you dont feel like going back to work the next day, is a glimspe or a SNEAK PREVIEW of how our working may be in the future. Plus on top of all that, we still have our MP to worry about. oh dammit. Having all those time taken away, time needed to be with friends and family are well, compromised. Is this what it is going to be in the future? Hell, i hope not.

Quote from my angel: "Time is created by yourself. There's always time for everything. "

Well, maybe she read it somewhere, I have no idea. But its definitely my first time hearing that line from her. That quote is actually, well, very true. I'll just have to squeeze time out to meet everyone once in a while aint it?
