Tete A Tete!

My collegue and I put this together right before during lunch hour. Totally dig my silver ribbon and glistening teddy!

Carmen, the delicacy of all boys men, HK.er-turned-SG.ean, popped by my humble abode to sit a tete-a-tete while i did preparations for dainty cookies! It was an evening with an awesome blend of good laughs, idle and heart to heart chatter.

Here's the recipe, really easy to put together. Time consuming, i must admit.
1) Cream 240gm butter, 1 cuppa granulated sugar and 1 cuppa brown sugar before adding 2 eggs and 1tsp of vanilla essence.

2) Prepare 2.5 cuppa blended oatmeal (Measure and blend to a fine powder larh!), 2 cuppa plain flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt and fold it into (1).

3) Add choc chips and nuts. (I used baking choc chips and ready chopped almonds)

4) Roll into lil balls and set em on a cookie sheet, placing 'em an inch apart. (Keep your itchy-oily palm from flattening out the mix.)

5) Bake. Supposed to bake for 10 mins at 375 degress. But my electric oven allowed 250deg. Take it out when the top turns latte coloured. Allow it to cool before storing. :)

Recommendations:
1) A chorus of nancy boys who helps you clear the mess.
2) Girlfriends who keeps an eye on your hygiene practices.
3) Flour-war with boyfriend(s).
4) Skip the mixer. Folding everything together makes a good workout for the clavicle, deltoids, triceps and brachioradialis!




SELAMAT HARI RAYA PUASA ALDILFITRI !
It'll be HariRayaHaji on Thurs, 20th Dec 07..
Be taking my off-in-lieu on 21st December 2007!
Sat 22/12/07 Sun 23/12/07
And oh! 24th Dec-half day,
25th Dec Christmas Day.
And that spells a S-U-P-E-R LONG WEEKEND!

Might be applying for leave on 26th-28th Dec too! To reflect upon 2007 and plan for 2008. And have a great rest before RatRace2008. I dont mind fully-paid-for holiday trips (travel insurance inclusive)!! Anyone has to offer?!

A little social education.. Cut-ted and pasted whole sale.
"Hari Raya Puasa, also known as Eid Al-Fitr, celebrates the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan during which the faithful fast during daylight hours from dusk until dawn. A day of great celebrations, many people wear their finest clothes and attend early morning prayer meetings at local mosques. It is also a day to catch up with friends, families and loved ones and many people have open houses welcoming a constant stream of guests and well-wishers."
"Marking the end of the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Eid al-Adha or the “Feast of Sacrifice” (known locally as Hari Raya Haji) is one of the most important feasts in the Islamic calendar. The three-day festival commemorates Ibrahim’s (Abraham) willingness to obey God by sacrificing his son – although he was later allowed to sacrifice a ram in his son’s place. In remembrance of this, a cow or ram is usually sacrificed as part of the religious celebrations with a portion of the meat being donated to the poor, sick or needy"

Love

Couch potato me watched
on DVD last night. And dawned on a couple of valuable lessons.

Lesson 1: Language
2 slangs i picked up from Rosalee: Yikes-A-Bee! which means Yes! and
Scoop-A-Doo! for Wow.

Lesson 2: Infatuation Vs Love
And i've come to the realisation (once again) that he might 1) have wanted to love me, 2) loved the idea of me (the independant woman part, etc.), 3) love what i stand for, 4) love what i seem to be. But that's not a full picture, is it?

How many times have you said love to one of the opposite sex? Countless. But to say i love you spells loving one for little things that are true of them and only them. And that, he didnt see nor love.

And in this chick flick, it portrayed how possible it is to love someone all your life but not realize it until something happens.

Lesson 3: Life
I'm following my gut. Sometimes you have to do that even if what you're doing seems crazy. Because in the gap between what prudence says we should do and what our heart tells us we must do, there in lies our humanity.

And to Chris, this's for you upon knowing the lil piece of ML news. :) Keep me updated and excited! It's comparable to a butterfly emerging from the coccoon!
"If you feel something and dont do everything in your power to reach for it, then you're basically slapping life in the face."

Friday
Lunch@90 Hougang Ave 10, #02-25 Hougang Mall, S538766 with my two pampered-silly-by-boyfriend BFFs!

1) Iced peach tea was way too sweet, the ratio of beverage to added water was almost 1:1!
2) Piping hot mushroom soup was smoothly creamy, not over powering and really fragant. It was served with..
3) Freeflow crusty bread
4) Main course of either A) Breaded Fish Fillet with Rice
B) Chicken breast and Pasta in Cream Sauce.
5) A lil scoop of kopi ice-cream in a wafer cup
All that calorie punch for $9.50 Nett! Ughhh Talk about loosing weight.. =l

And thanks to Kel and her Sexy Swift, i sashayed back to the clinic cool and crisp albeit the scorching sun! ;)

I cant believe i spent a perfect weekend getaway right here at BendemeerRoad! Ex sec school mates stayed over in preparation for a blading session at ECP.. Which, unexpectedly yet(AND) favourably, turned out to be an entire night of laughter, daidee, laughter, unostacko, laughter, DS.lite, laughter and loads of astute conversations! Followed by more syringes of banter and playful scoff, hours of nuah-ing, drifting in and out of sleep, dvd, a basketball match with neighbourhood imps kids and KFC!

Ok Trac, next round, we can bake, blade and bathe (just so it'll rhyme).. and nuahh. :D Oh that N word is almost orgasmic! Add an Ahhhh for good measure. No pun intended.

Sunday. Work which was as hectic as ever. And the new scrub.
I couldnt resist heading the gym(even thou it was 8pm!) for i so love the sweat sheen. Marc the not quite eligible philanderer had to come along when i was almost done with the treadmill and entice me with food. Damnit. I acceded and was on our way to a 'jape-full' night at the Esplanade. One activity that's never missed when we're out together: shooting each other with harmfulless bon mots. Tied with this AwesomeCompany package is a parking fee of $5.50! (whispers "so ex leh!") And that wraps up Sunday, tied with a ribbon. Short and sweet.

Health & Organ Donation



Guess my weight contest begins. :) Submit your answers in the comments section!

Building a nation of fit and healthy Singaporeans So now im putting myself under great torture!

While a minority group might find the ramifications of the Singapore Organ Donation legislation horrifying, I beg to differ. Organ and tissue transplants offers others a new chance at healthy and productive lives. It also returns an individual to their family, friends and the society. Within all of us is the power to change someone's world by being a donor. It's about life. [Speaking of which, im long overdue for a blood donation, and have yet to volunteer for Bone Marrow donation! *covers face in shame.] Yet, there is a shortage of organs for transplants (say a 7-9 year wait for a kidney transplant), which has led to a thriving black market to meet demands. Would you put one of your kidneys on black market bid? Here's a few factor's i'd take into consideration.

maritial/dating status, number of children(if applicable), sum of money 'compensated, overall health, family medical history, laws governing such trade, etc. and am so lazy to elaborate on these points.


Am so lazy to write. Be back later!

I wouldnt buy another 'she got pregnant cuz the condom gave way' story again! Cause this's how strong rubber is..
You dental commrades got it right.. An XS latex ambidexterous powdered glove containing a M sized surgical gown! Amazing how stretchy it is when handled with care..And how often it tears when we flip it out!

21 Sept 07
An overdue bonding session with Seek, a friend of 7-8 years. Till now, we vividly remember how we met. Shalln't elaborate on that for now. Here's a sneak of that TGIF night.. while having lunch supper at Esplanade's Makan Sutra. Esplanade-Cuz parking is a mere $1.50SGD per entry!!!
Zakir and I headed to ForbiddenCity@ClarkeQuay for a mingle.with.you.mingle.with.me.mingle.with.his.friend. session. Had a glass of enamel-eroding-coke and orange juice!

Zoo, Wakeboard

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo.


From left to right clockwise, Yuenhong and his bucally erupted right upper canine, going-bersek-dealing-with-numbers-Jiemei aka Jam, moi, flight-stewardess-to-be Trayc, Officer-to-be Darius, and student Jenwei aka Jelly!

It pays to be a civil servant when balloting allows you and 3 others free enterance to the Singapore Zoological Gardens over the weekends! (Albeit trips to HQ for card collection and return.)
Big hugs to Darius for we travelled around sunny island in the comfort of his MPV, and to JenWei who drove safely!

This trip is a great surprise with unexpected animalistic sex scenes(literally) and calls of the human nature! Lost? Here goes!

Do not expect primates to be scritch-scritch scratchin' and hanging by the long tail all day! They make love too. Doggy style. The sex animal:

And this fellow, who obviously looks the oldest amongst this mission of monkeys, did a 'monkey walk' from afar, sat on the stone, turned its head realy s.l.o.w.l.y. and smiled for the camera. Talk bout humans being camera shy. These creatures are definately not!

How often do you get to see the largest land mammal swing its long trunks and flap its huge ears? Often.
How often do you get to see the largest land mammal poop? Well, we did. The Asian elephant had a ball of shit at its anus-'Stuck'. Little did we know that its rectum was FILLED with faeces. While anticipating the dropping of that visible ball of shit, peristaltic waves were pushing more faeces out of this ivory. In the blink of an eye, the anal sphincters relaxed. It poooooped and gave a satisfying grin to its fellow housemates who were right behind! "eewwww" and we went "hahahaha"

Petered out by an entire day at the zoo, we headed to Ice Kimo, followed by a visit to Darius' quake shaken castle lookalike condo. It was a boring match between Everton and ManU, with ManU scoring 1 after 83mins. Meanwhile, we YouTubed and drooled at JustinTimberlake's dance moves (it was all about his perky ass, really). Followed by a bowling session at OCC, cam whore and a virgin experience driving Darius's Honda Edix!
His six-seater compact MPV is a minivan with a 3+3 seating configuration! A really roooomy and smooooth ride!

The following day's wakeboarding(cable) experience was a total flop. The best had to be these..

1) Jumping off the dock at high(est) speedThe biggest splash wins! Obviously, many of us fell face flat. And never had another go at it.

2) Riding the wake with muscle man;June translates euphoria and security!
And thats a 'one night in beijing' episode.(As much as i feigned ignorance when he flashed his pearlie whites at me countless times the entire day, i was shamelessly smiling in my heart! hiakk hiakk hiakk.)

3) An 8m(i think) jump made it all so worthwhile.
My toes had a good workout gripping the slippery metal framework during the vertical climb. My legs went wobbly when i looked down.. No turning back!! Thank The Above for a horizontal wooden plank! Forward is the only way down..

SPLASH The impact of the jump was so great, my feet touched the bottom of the lake! I thought i felt something round and squishy before making my way up to the surface of the water. The next 30seconds were spent yelling away for my butt cheeks felt like it was splitting. A 2nd go at it for the sake of the video-cam? NO WAY!

4) Awesome company made the day possible.

5) Not forgetting.. Chitty chitty bang bang! And a muscular looking me

Take home for the day:Cuts and bruises from a day full of falls!





With a heavy heart, I now set my sights on the sea. It's been a month, a long time coming, since you turned around to leave. But my journey ahead will be still wrought. Nothing distracts me from the thought of you. Its irony. Dubious as it seems, I dont want you back.
I was wrong, i was right. I was free. So alive. And now im down, you can see. Took a ride on the suicide romance. Dont know where im going yet, but am sure im getting there. No its not easy tonight. I am bound. I wear black.

Hairspray, Vienna, Haircut


Monday, 10th Sept 07
An opportunity to spend a pleasant two hours in an air-conditioned auditorium at VivoCity. The film isn't deep(great for monday blues!) but works admirably on its song and dance. Hairspray way exceeded my expectations with its deceptively simple read-between-the-lines jokes. Tracy Weekiat and I couldnt help but let out loud bursts of cackles.

Tuesday, 11th Sept 07
An excursion to Vienna Restaurent!

3 Sisters. Mum Sis and I!



A gesture appeared during the Qing Dynasty when Emperor Qianlong visited South China with civil clothes in secret of the common people. During the visit, the emperor served tea to his officers, but since they were in public they couldn't use the 'koutou' gesture. Hence invented a more discreet gesture of showing respect and subordination. The fingers move up and down continuously, thus, metaphorically depicting repeated bowing, not with heads down to the ground but with fingers to the table.
Today, the gesture says "Thank you for serving me!"
BUT! The same sequence of finger movements on the table express nervousness and impatience in many ang moh countries!


Mum: You know what this(gesture) means?
Us: Dont know. Urm, rabbits hopping away?
Mum: No. Means Thank You.
Me: (Does that gesture with a twit expression and two hands, enthusiastically) What does this mean?
Mum: I dont know.
Me: "Thank you very much"
All: AHAHAHAHAHA. Accompanied with weird glances frm irritated diners.

Mature content, not for circulation.
2 VS 1. Unfair. See, i wasnt wrong when i said i used to suffer from Middle Child Syndrome!


Then again.. Maybe not.


Apparantly, the 7th Lunar Month isnt over..


Chicken Soup for the Stifled Soul..

Ahh smells good..

And here's how mum suggested drinking it..


Wednesday, 12th Sept 07.
My o-so-kiddish-looking new bangs. With love from the neighbourhood salon and their handful of skilled hairdressers from M'sia.
Fugly but pampered.

Stifled



'Stifled' by the caffeine effects of my new favourite drink-Hot Caramel Macchiato-Foamed milk marked with espresso and vanilla, topped with a distinctive caramel pattern. Sweet, buttery and intense!
Stifled heart.
Stifled tears.
Stifled yawns.
Chicken Soup for the Stifled Heart, anyone has to offer?

I lay aghast at the magnitude of our past. Those memories, deeply etched, flood back. Those promises, a good many, now empty.

"Pull the hair back from your eyes
Let the people see your pretty face
You know they like it when you smile (Find a reason to smile)

Try not to focus on yourself
Share that love with someone else
Don't let the bitters bring you down (Down)
Don't let anything bring you down"

Welcome the dawn of another hasteful Sunday at work.

Friday Night Fever!

Congratulations to Nick, for its sunny side up on his side! He's got Uly Company Best Award! And probably is on his way to Officer Command School! Cheers!

And its scrambled eggs here for me with global warming and its effects on man kind! Nursing an episode of sorethroat, runny nose and fever. All on a FRIDAY. May the force of MotherEarth be with you (not).

Still, there's always a reason to say TGIF! Let the following describe my Fri night!



Exposing a 14yr old to loads of crude jokes and pun for a Fri night, we rented from CineNow for only $3! Support the arts!

Jon would be enlisting on 14th Sept 07. Dinner on 8th Sept 07, 7pm at Hog's Breath, CHIJMES. There, he celebrated his 20th birthday too! If you date this lad, the few places he'll take you to is Hog's at CHIJMES for special occassions, Starbucks at Novena/Cecil Street on chill out nights, Prata&BarChorMee at Thomson for supper or XinWangCafe at Kovan for MonopAly. Here's a lil something, just to remind him that i AM a girly girl.

10 Things To Do

1) Say "TGIF" (Thank God Its Friday.)
2) Do something nice for at least 2 collegues.
3) Take the stairs (UP and down) instead of the lift/elevator.
4) Indulge in (dark) chocolate.
5) Plan your finances for the month of September.
6) Drop the TV remote control and pick up The Straits Times.
7) Pamper yourself. Buy/Do something you always wanted, bearing in mind point 5.
8) Stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself "I am wonderfully sculpted. With fats here and there just to compliment"
9) Take a look at old photographs and reflect how much you've changed physcially and mentally.
10) Have a good long 10min shower. (I dont know why I said this. Cuz i can never spend 10 in the shower.)

And if you have a special someone..
1) Reminisce the days you birds started dating.
2) Spring a little surprise.
3) Tell him/her why you like/love him/her.
4) Dine at a restaurent.
5) Take a silent walk together, be it down town or the park.

Bored Stiff

Its a Thursday and for once, i spell freedom in capital letters. Yet somehow for today, freedom ties with boredom as my collegue is away on course. Minus the clinical setting, it literally is an off day. Shallnt elaborate on the little perks of a civil servant during school holidays. ;) Idle idle in front of the mirror. Only to realise I’ve been super hormonal of late! One big zit just popped up! :(

Idle idle and an illustration of my work station:



And the clinic looks especially spacious because my collegue and i compliment each other! I being the leftie has the chairside cabinet and workdesk shifted accordingly and here goes, if you can imagine........ Here's the clinic!




Here a tip-off for my male readers. Inject a good amount of the following in your daily sms/calls[to your GIRLFRIEND(s)] and you'd be pleasingly surprised! I promise. *slurrrrrrps. Substitute dear/darling for..
1) Cookie
2) My lil Yorkshire Pudding
3) Hunny Bunny
4) My dirty lil whore
5) Buttery fluttery saccharine sweetie pie
6) Sugarplum / Plumed sauce
7) Vanilla bonbon
8) Sweetmeat
9) My hourglass Tabasco bottle
10) Sticky pumpkin syrup

Ok this might not work. Maybe.. Im just having a sweet tooth today. :D Cheers.

2 Cents Worth

In my bid for profoundness. Here's my 2 cents worth on what everyone should know.

What is this elusive thing called love that everyone so desperately needs? Is it about the knight in shining armour who rescues the damsel in distress, rides off on a white horse/pumpkin into the glowing sunset to live happily ever after, with no clouds ever to darken their skies? With a need to burst the huge bubble on your crown, let me bring you back to reality.

Few people realise the importance of CONSTANTLY WORKING on maintaining a relationship. a lack of maintainence = neglect. The inevitable result of neglect is a deteriorating relationship.

Female human species(author inclusive) tend to tip towards emotional things, in activities that maintains a relationship. Say "Lets go to the zoo. Lets yadayada"
Males, on the other hand, do and achieve and think that have done their bit. Eg "I called and sms you already whartttt" Learn that the more you love us, the lovlier we get! Spoil us silly!

The aviation black box is an indestructible data recorder. In a crash, its role is fulfilled as it shows what went wrong to avoid future accidents. In each of us, man woman (and monkeys?), are significant episodes that influences how we think act and behave. Because of these experiences, character change isnt as simple as hitting on the ->Backspace<- button on the keyboard. We need to expunge certain actions / catch phrases that has been conditioned us the good 20 odd years of our lives.
A recent incident dawned on me that greatest emotional pain is inflicted by the ones who are closest to us. So now you know the reason behind that silent turmoil in you, buckets of tears and (however you felt). And the worst thing to do is to remain silent, walk out on him/her, reply with a nod or shoulder shrug. Because as time passes, it really isnt what is said/done, but how that person felt when you did so.

There has been difficult times, emotional pain, periods of anger, rejection,
frustration, emptiness, etc. and those negative adjectives sum a long list. Point is, woes, distress, misery, etc. stem from unrealistic expectations and harmful attitudes from either party.

Slowly, the 2 drift apart. And what once was unity developes into seperate paths. Dont fret if you're in the midst of a turbulance! It can always be improved. Turn the desert into a garden again!

Sometimes, humans overestimate the effort required to sustain a relationship.
It actually is as simple as getting back to the basics, going back to the beginning.

Once, i read about seeing love as a 3 legged animal but i rather see it as a tripod. That difference in analogy aside, the article pointed 3 legs, particularly passion, intimacy and commitment.
Personally define passion as a case of influenza-Haha! Heart palpitates, temperature rises, head spins, quivers at the passing thought of him/her. :X
And you men who got so excited over the word intimacy, it goes beyond sexual (physical) intimacy! (ps: keep THAT intimacy confidential and not put it up for public distribution on the-u-know-where site) As much as THAT plays a big part, it is but a subset. More important is emotional intimacy. Two needs communication and not be emotionally shutdown. Briefly, commitment is a willingness and decision. On which i dont know how to elaborate until the day i reach my destination.

Spend quality and quantity time together. Time is a precious commodity in the rat race of Singapore. Yet if we adopt the 'left-over-time' policy towards our other half, romance wouldnt be part of the equation.

So what was the last straw that broke the camel's back?

And the wedding ring? Its called a Suffering. HAHA. (With love, 98.7FM)

Monies

3rd month into serving my 2year term with the garh-ment.
And its time to address a particular thought that's been at the back of my mind-financial planning. I want to start taking care of the various aspects of my finances. I used to plan (save) alot when i was much younger, when material needs werent in my dictionary. I was hardworking (and still am). The only difference? I've been spending(splurging) alot more on "necessacities"

Many of us do not spend time planning our finances. (Side track. And to Joyce, this IS for you! Where did ALL your cash go to!? :) Anyhows, I MISS BEING YOUR CLINICAL PARTNER. As much as i 'reprimand' you........... I'll spare others the mush i wanna tell you! :P) "Financial planning is an activity the importance of which cannot be understated." Unfortunately, i myself do not spend much time planning my finances.. even though it is a relatively simple activity.

Merci!

Ironically, the weekends attrit me. I cant help but those weekends with you keep flashing back.

I dont say TGIF anymore. Until i find a reason to do so. Life has been back to normal. I do what i do before i met you. But it just isnt the same anymore. Until the day i find another who can show me the way back into love, everyday's a routine. But i'm really grateful to The Above for friends who have stood by me. Seen me fall. (And will see me at my peak AGAIN) I wish you'd stop avoiding me like plague and start treating me like a normal friend. Simply because i do not deserve this treatment. And because im not talking to you because i need/miss you, but because i've straightened out my thoughts and wish to simply care for you, as a friend-need i emphasize.

How much was real. So much to question.

And because its SEPTEMBER.. I'd like to start on a HAPPY NOTE! :D

Thanking all of you (once again). :)

Carrie, thanks for dedicating an entire post to me! And for the sake of you, who's having huge question marks all over your crown, lettme enlighten you. Here's what she wrote in her journal:

dear friend,
i feel upset for you. i don't know how you feel, because no one knows, except for you yourself. never have i see you so committed in a relationship, probably cause it's only 3 years+ knowing u and this is only the 2nd bf i've seen you with. i believe this is not a bus stop for you, else you wouldn't grieve over it. i can see, you are trying to be strong, cried when the lights dimmed, sleep late and waking early for work the next day.
if you need a shoulder to lean on, i'm just an msn away. if you cant find me online from mon-fri 8-5.3pm, you can give me a buzz on my singtel phone.
babe, though you ain't the most attractive one, nor the hottest one among fuglies, you're still the most capable one for being a thrifty wife. everything will come to an end, good thing will come to a good end :)

AND MY SAY IS: Thou im not the most attractive, nor the hottest. I attract the most number of men. I'll not bold my previous sentence because everyone KNOWS it. And AI(i) work the MOST(Read: most self reliant). And gone through much much MORE than ALL OF YOU. Muaaahahaha. Im the 2nd youngest but mentally, I AM your big sister. :P

Kellylogy: Im so envious of Richard and you, larh!! I stand strong in defending for you against your mum & aunt! Those morning messages we drop each other is really encouraging. They come even on weekends! I TOTALLY DIG YOU LARH.

Clara Kwek, for dropping your 'How're you coping' here and there. You're really pretty, even with screwed fringe. Loves!

BJ. No. B&J (Ben & Jerry's? NO! Bobby and Jonathan!) for this silly vid! BIG HUGS! B: Thanks for being the DJ. FYI, i love songs that start with acoustics and have clear meaningful lyrics! J: Never knew classmates would come thus far. Appreciative(but not thankful) of your harsh words during that difficult time. Haha!

AO for those calorie injection late nights! Lets MonopAly again pretty soon!

Tracy and that lovely pinkish Ben&Jerry's cake! Photo available here, And those nights at Starbucks, minus the 2nd hand smoke. :P

Marc and his oh so encouraging words of affirmation! You know what we shared and share. We went thru the same shit. And we're turkeys emerging to eagles!

DearDaniel: (who's never gonna chance upon this blog, for i dunnoe-what-reason) You're like a big brother! We're like switches. On off closeness. Those caffeine filled plus DVD nights never fail to add more wrinkles(Crow's feet & Nasolabial folds)! You heard my aspirations, frowned at my indecisive and lost thoughts, eventually see how i break down my end goal into smaller steps. I hope we'll live to see my dreams evolve! Its a great and shameless pleasure getting to know you! My advice to you: Stop Piracy! Support the arts!

JR: Xie Xie Ni De Card & Lil Gift! Gimme sometime to take the photo of that monochrome thing. :) And add more .. sentimental stuff here

Carmen, who has gone thru this shit when we were in Year1. The difference: I didnt clench and hurt my fists against the rough treated concrete wall. I love myself too much to bleed for someone. (Yeah, it did bleed) Although we have different perspectives, i know the end result will be similar. That like you, i'll be able to see dawn break into a magnificant orange sunrise again! :) Kudos to our friendship! And that Potpourri dress. :P Cheap sale lehhhh. Lol.

Cady: Boss. I extend my gratitude for your attendance at the overdue bonding session on Wed. "Gam Sia Le Kour Wa Bin. Wa Jin Hua Hie."

Chris and your life (s)experiences! The last i saw of you were those few days in Aussie, dating all the way back to June 2005! Lets carry on this virtual talk and meet up real soon when you're back home from the US! If i visit NY, house me, be a good guest and you'll be HANDSOMELY rewarded! Thanks for showing me the crazy and serious side of a 26year old bachelor! FYI, Bachelor of Engineering(Sg, NTU) and Masters in Business(US). Thanks to you, my 2008 goal card just got longer: OpenWater Certification! Soon enough, these underwater colours would no longer be part of another desktop display nor something seen only in documentaries, but an experience i'd never forget. :)

LOL,my coffeemate (not creamer u dumbnut), my 'kai ma', my workplace mentor, my confidante! Thanks for showing me the ropes! And your support in my passion for paperchase. Couldnt emphasize how grateful i am for your 'grace'. I know im a big fat slacker at work (using msn, reading mails, checking out websites, and you know how long the list goes) but acting as if you see only ValueMail and IDEAS icons. Couldnt bear the thought of leaving PPS and you! Would never forget how we laugh ourselves silly over the tiniest pun. Thanks for being so open, sharing with each other bout our personal lives and the fking(the word's flaking. Whatever u my reader is thinking. -.-) stock market.

Not forgetting my family.. Who have to put up with my crazy screamy singing. It happens when im at my extremes.
