Greetings from London

Adrian, Ivan and myself say hi to peeps in sg and in syd! kekeke..

London is nice, summer doesn't seem like summer coz it's still freakingly cold. The only thing that reminds me that it's summer is that the sun comes up before we go to bed, say about 4am and it sets when we are heading home, say about... 9pm. Yes... it gets dark only after 10pm. The days seems so long, yet so short. I guess that's what happens when you have great company. Oh, I miss the boys so much.

Wonder how everyone else is doing back in sg.

Sel's probably making his preparations for his big move to sydney, nicky's probably.. erm.. still working? Haha... dude, please make sure you have some juicy gossips to entertain me when I get back! I realise my updates to adrian and ivan are giving them quite a bit of entertainment. Ah.. at my expense.... what's new...

Went to this place called Southend Central yesterday. It seemed like a huge happy neighbourhood! Everything's brightly coloured, there's an amusement park, actually, the whole area looked like a big amusement park. Even the names of the road make you happy.. eg, Pleasant Rd. Kekek...I derive pleasure outta the little things, no?

We finally booked our travel and accommodation to Amsterdam after a long time of sitting and surfing the internet at 3am. But all is good and now we're just counting down the days before we hit prague then amsterdam.

Oh boy, I'm hungry now. Am having gastric problems these days, quite bad actually coz I'm actually taking medication. It's no longer just eating to make sure I don't get hungry coz even when I do eat, the pain will still come. Arghhh... I'm paranoid about getting hungry. Sheesh..

Came up with a concept about the world making payments and all with love. Of course it got shot down by adrian and ivan. Sigh... oh well... i shall go think of how it can actually work then propose the idea to them again. Imagine.. a hug to the grocery shop uncle when u wanna buy a coke! Money will no longer exist! But the question lies in.. how much lurve do u have to give if you decide to buy a house or a car. *ponders*

hahah... me and my once-in-a-while crazy idea. I'M HUNGRY!!!!!

Till then... all folks, please take care...

ps: adrian says: hope all you farkers in sg are having a blast. We'll see each other again in hell. Get the mashmellows ready.... :p

One for the road

Hokay, slept like half an hour last nite before getting up this morning ard 6 plus to bathe and pack my luggage. It's funny, my job requires me to fly basically almost everyday to almost everywhere, but today, it feels different. I haven't exactly been on a trip like that, as in, travelling alone for 18 hours to the other side of the world and i wun be the one walking up and down the aisle today. BTW, my flight is one of the more dreaded london flights coz allowance is slightly lesser, there's a standby day in the hotel and... it's a day flight so passengers tend to be slightly more.. erm.. awake. Point is, i pity those doing my flight today and I'm glad that I am finally passenger!~! muahaha...

It's raining now and I wish i was cuddled in my room, on my bed, having a nice and peaceful sleep.

Well, Sel's gonna be leaving in a coupla day's time and it seems like they've gotta whole lotta stuff planned to do. Walas, karaoke, dinner, dempsey... geez, and I wun be able to join them~~ And so before I go, just wanna say a huge bigass thank you to him for being such a great fren when i was going through shit. You be strong and take the world by storm!~

Would love to say more but adrian's mum's here and i gotta head to the airport liaoz...take care peeps and I'll see ya when I see ya...

Cheerios!

World tour part I

Oh boy, I just got back from Cairo and Dubai and I am so freaking tired, it's not funny.

Feefee decided to pull some stunt on me... AGAIN...

She was working well during the entire trip in Cairo where we basically travelled to the pyramids and spinx on camel and horses. The camel ride was fun but kinda tiring coz we had to straddle its hump.. erm.. yah... and it ain't small so our inner tighs hurt like crazy the following day. I got plenty of bruises from riding the horse too coz the guide decided to bring us on a horseback riding spree. He held onto our horses's reigns, and started galloping away (his horse, i mean)!~ It was the coolest ride ever coz it's really like riding a horse at top speed up and down the sand dunes! yeeehaaa!~ Oh, back to the bruises... i got them coz feefee was slung behind me and as the horse galloped, feefee banged against my back the entire time. Hmm.. maybe that's how the thingy got stuck.

Now all i can wish and hope for is that the catch for winding the film back is the problem and NOT that I didn't load the film correctly coz if it's the latter, all my pics will be blank.. and I think i will die. However, IF it really is the catch that has problems and will actually need time to be fixed, then I'm equally fucked coz my trip to london's tomorrow!~!!~~

In Dubai, group of us went sandune touring. No, not looking at the sand dunes but more like being driven on a 4-wheel drive, up and down the huge dunes. It was a different kinda ride, very much like a roller coaster ride cept that it lasted much, much, much longer and it's more sudden. Seatbelts, very very important. No joke... Decided to not put on the seatbelt for more trill, knowing me, and I was basically tossed around like a rag doll at the back. It's actually very amazing coz it really takes some skill to drive that kinda terrain. The jeep might slip and tumble anytime if something goes wrong.. but nah.. so far so good!~ Oh.... I went quad-biking too!~~ Rode my own quad-bike up this huge sand barrier, the kind that u have to go up at top speed and the moment u hit the top, u basically fly before landing... WOOHOO!~

Okay okay.... long long day today... gotta wash my clothes or i wun have any lingerie to bring to london. Then i gotta send feefee for repair... then i gotta help nicky choose a shirt for some wedding... and I gotta meet adrian's mum to get some stuff to bring over tomorrow... then i gotta watch movie with the guys... (not that i'm complaining).. ah.. it actually feels nice to be back!~ Hopefully we can top it all off with a drink somewhere!~

Oh, and I'm officially in lurve with my teamates!~ hahah.. guess what our favourite past time is?

............ yes........... DRINKING!~ HA!~

Ramblings for the day

I just got back from Bombay.
I will have a days' rest before going for 9 days to dubai and cairo.
I will have another days' rest after that before heading to London for 12 days.
I will have almost another days' rest before going over to Sydney.
I will suffer major jetlag and insomnia when I return.
I will most probably hit the clubs the weekend I'm back.
I am trying to kill myself with an overdose of activity.

Anywayz, the past coupla days have come and gone. Things have pretty much become a routine and I quite like that routine. I'm happy. I dunno what I'm happy about but I guess I am.

Just had a conversation with my colleague in the cabbie on the way back and we were talking about relationships - the pros and cons of being in one or the lack of it. Well, she pretty much said that she missed being single coz being attached comes with lotsa obligations and responsibilities. That is true but as long as the feelings are being reciprocrated, then its okay, ya? Then she mentioned that, she seems to be the party that's more boh chup and I said that's good. Afterall, my experiences have taught me that the one with the upperhand in the relationship is the one who cares less... or to put it in another way, the one who loves more has more to lose. Sad fact it is but too bad coz that's life. Then we started talking about fidelity and she feels that women these days are more prone to stray than guys. Actually, I think both are equally guilty of that. Women only seem to be more sluttish coz it's always been the guys who do it. However, with the new concept of equality, women becoming more self-sufficient and educated, we now have more bargaining power and we know we can live without men who break our hearts.

Come to think of it, who can blame women for straying or for becoming the way they are? Instead of having to suffer in silence because of what their men did, women now take things more easily coz they almost 'know' their men will most probably stray anyway... so why give so much or why bother so much? It's like a self-defence mechanism that men have conditioned women to have. So men can't blame women for breaking their hearts coz for a woman to break a man's heart, there must've been someone, somewhere out there who has broken her heart, resulting in her establishing this self-defence system for protection.

So what the fuck am I trying to say here?

Dun blame the gal for breaking ur heart.
Dun judge a gal for meeting/ sleeping/ making out with just some random guy coz it's just as easy for guys to do the same and get away with it.
Try to get use to the fact that women do that these days.
Stop breaking people's heart coz you're just adding to the world another cynical human being who may someday break ur heart or someone elses' heart.

Hmm... should I go out tonight or should I stay home? I shall go smoke and ponder...

Creature of the dark says...

Dammit.. i almost burnt down my kitchen trying to fry some nuggets. Arghhh.... so much for tryin to cook!~~

Yes.. it's almost 12am and i'm trying to do up a decent meal for dinner. Decent, includes maggie (more like Koka) mee, eggs and nuggets. Ha.. how healthy can i get~ Anyway, the pan went up in flames and for a moment.. i stood there wishing I didn't attempt to do such a thing. Maybe i'll be better off with just the noodles. Sighh.. i know.. I'm pathetic, I can't cook... But hey.. at least I'm trying!~

That's it... I hereby conclude that I AM the creature of the dark. Now I'm trying to figure out wat to do as the nite goes on... Not funny when everyone's gonna sleep and I'm just waking up. Damn... it'll probably be better if it's a friday or sat but no.. it HAS to be a monday.

Anywayz, good news is that my staff travel application has been approved!~ Which means, I'll be getting a tix to fly to London to visit dearest Adrian and Ivan, FOC!~ Muahaha... Oh I'm so excited!~ I can't wait!~~ Wooopieee.. As discussed, we'll probably head to Amsterdam and Prague. Adrian mentioned Belfast too so hopefully we can fit that somewhere in our itinarary. This time, we WILL make it to the comedy pub in London, and he's gonna bring me for pastry.. yummy... All the way to london for pastry~

This will be a good trip... no, it will be a great trip! I'm so looking forward to it as it'll be a nice long break from work, colleagues and Singapore. It's not as though things at home's very routined or anything, but I guess being away and spending more than just a day or two at a particular place will really help me experience the place more fully instead of just being just a touch and go thing. Well, my trip really isn't that long too, more like.. 10 days. Ahhh.. and I'm glad I dun have to spend 10 days in sg without anything to do coz that will drive me crazy~

Hokay.. dinner's ready... yes, the nuggets survived the pan of fire. Am gonna have me 'lunneper'~!~ kekeke... :P

Hopeless yet Hopeful

Grew up in a small town And when the rain would fall, I'd just stare out my
Dreaming of what could be And if I'd end up happy, I would pray
Trying hard to reach out But when I tried to speak out, Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray, I could break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
Make a wish, take a chance, Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness and into the sun.
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away

Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean Get onboard a fast train Travel on a jet plane
Far away And break away

Buildings with a hundred floors, Swinging 'round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me But I gotta keep movin on, movin on,
Fly away, Break away

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
Take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away.
Out of the darkness & into the sun But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, Make a change, and break away
