Keeping the dream alive.

Nyeh..first week of work's fine..i guess...not that much work to do yet..because of the external audits and all..but that over and done with..so like...now..everything's gonna start piling up soon..and i already made a boo-boo like on the 3rd day of work...damm sad lar...like...it was my bloody careless mistake..
mistook an '8' for a '0' on the calculator..dammit..
gah..am still beating myself up about it..
i shall never make this kind of mistake again.
Grawl.

on another note..modern amusement guy..i shall continue to call him MA guy..right..i dunno lar..met up with sybs on wed..she agreed totally that we have an 曖昧 r/s..heh..currently...from what i feel....everything is very 曖昧..including Tweedledee..
sigh..too confusing..can't be bothered already.

white flag

anyway..haven't quite gotten my internet password and all from the IT dept..so i can't send mindless emails to everyone seeking entertainment..can't email MA guy or Tweedledee.
:(
and everyone's at the lab has been fine...very nice...doesn't seem like i've been away much..hahaha..
but apparently everyone in the factory..aka the china guys..esp those that i'm quite ok with..keep assuming that i'm going off again soon..
he told me something like this...
you came the last time...stayed for 6mths..then left for 6mths..then came back for 2 weeks..then left for 6mths..when are you leaving now?
and i'm like...errr...either when i quit or when they fire me?

heh..
i'm seeking amusement in the most primitive way now..self-entertainment..
i get to work by 7.15am..because of some logistics issue...i get to have enough time to read my morning papers...and business times and all..if only i could get internet access..then i could blog..
and i'll prolly be getting an office like in 1-2mths time...sharing with this other chemist...
she's been there since aug..so far...from what i know...the rest of them aren't exactly chummy with her...they're more partial to me..
-shrugs-

ah wells...Starbucks girl managed to kop a mug for me..and passed it to me at work...i still have 1 more mug with her and an apron..heh.
and i'm supposed to get her willy wonka chocolate bar for her and 1.5dozen of donuts on sunday..wahaha..
we're funny in that way..
she'll go get those from donut factory..and i'll get mine from the donut place at vivocity..
each getting 1.5dozen..so we'll have 3dozen nuts in between us..
plenty to go around..
we're planning to have those for lunch..and decide on which place has the better nuts..since Starbucks girl hasn't got the chance to taste Krispy Kremes yet..
:)
something that i managed to have like...twice in november last year!
heh..
so nice.
righto..

Peaceout.

Every once in a while..when i'm really really free...i get reminded of God's wonderful plan.

my 17 year old self would be unable to see the perfectness in His plan..but now..looking at the bigger picture..i'm astounded.

Currently...i'm amazed that i would land up in the same OG at Jing.
and i reckon that's where it all started.
being in the same OG meant that we were super duper close to each other..
a bond that never did break..
then from there...when we broke into our respective classes for the first 3 months..
she ended up in the same class as alicia.
and being close...i became an unofficial member of that class as well..
i can still remember the day when i crashed her class..
the maths teacher was like...we have a new student..
and everyone else was like..yar! transfer student from njc..
O__o
like rights..
plus..jing is obviously connected to jun...and has been connected to him ever since young..due to the fact that they're neighbours.
so..i got to know jun too.
after the results were released..she ran for council..i made my class vote for her and alicia.
heh..
then from council..we became friends with aileen and peter...
and thus, the pjc cell group emerged.
and from them..i made new friends like jon, xiangyu and all..
it's like a chain growth reaction with no termination..
i like..
and obviously..
because of shangjun...jing went to fmc..
and then...i got into fmc..
and new friends were added into the foray..
agnes, pam, eugene, sharon, jem, tiff..
and i've no idea how or why..i'm accepted as being part of the class..even though i was never in the same class as them..maybe it's just stems from the fact that we're all from the 1984 batch.
and the wonderful thing is..they just accepted me with..well..no questions asked.
and i couldn't ask for a better or more perfect class to be in.
:))
then from the class..it grew to yf..and by yf..it includes kids that are not in singapore for a good part of the year...
it's amazing lar...the power of 1 person to start a whole ball running..

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be wothy of such devotion.
- K9 Shiloh Dawg Skool's Calender for 2007

Within the past 5 months..never before has a pet affected me in such a way as ginger has. Made changes in my sleeping cycle for her. And it may seem weird, but the fact is...i am her leader. and prolly the love of her life..because i'm the hand that feeds her..and she recognises that fact as well..with her thrusting titles such as "You are his life, his love, his leader", it makes you want to protect her from every single boo-boo that comes her way..and it's also through her that you learn that 'to be a leader, you must first learn to serve.' Serve in areas such as picking her poo-poo and clearing her pee-pee..you realised that she's dependent on you for EVERYTHING. from her everyday meals to her weekly bathes...she trusts you to ensure that she's free from fleas and ticks..and that you'll be home to feed her dinner..because there's no way she's able to prepare dinner for herself..nyeh.
i may not be the best leader now..and i do make mistakes..but she forgives me within 5mins of MY boo-boo..
sheese...
i love ginger.
the hyperactively friendly dog who managed to worm her way thru the innermost recesses of my heart in superquick time.

me thinks that i'm a bona fide couch potato... :)

Sometimes we project our romantic desires onto others, then internalize them as though as though they were true. Sometimes a flirtatious smile, comment, or gesture can be read as having more meaning than was originally intended. We incubate them, until they grow to have a life of their own.

-Phlin-

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on him,
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.

Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you
of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says,".....that's her."

After a thoughly satisfying meal of laksa and nasi lemak..we had that and that..
niceeee :)
shared a mudster..nicenicenicenicenice

right...in other news...
i'll be going for my medical tomorrow..and if nothing else goes wrong...
i'll be employed by tuesday..

and so..that's about that.

so...i'm still free to bum on monday! :)

So I must find my fears and face them
Or I’ll cower like a dog
I’ll kick and scream or kneel and bleed
I’ll fight like hell to hide that I’m giving up

Come on...make a guess..
what new book am i reading now?
albeit the fact that i'm prone to juggle a few books at a time..
but what's the latest one that i'm reading?

``Pride,'' observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections, ``is a very common failing I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonimously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.''

oh..and ginger's better already..at least i don't have to coax her to have her meals...
AND i don't have to add rice or peanut butter to get her interested in it.. :)

Dear God,
It is great the way you always get the stars in the right places.

and..

i think he forgot what happiness is..

Dear God,
I don't ever feel alone since I found out about you.
Nora

"At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need."

Dear God,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tue. That was cool.
Eugene

i just remembered..
i need a watch..
new watch!
yay.
still browsing tho.

Dear God--
Put another holiday between Christmas and Easter. There is nothing good in there now.
Ginny

Ginger's errr...not exactly injured...but..not exactly normal either...
i suspect that she might have a sore paw or something..
might be due to a weird sleeping position...
not too sure..
she hasn't been eating her meals..since sunday night...
and i have to coax her to eat..and drink..
like feeding her with a spoon..and holding the water bowl for her to lap her water from...
it's quite tiring...especially when she decided that she's sick of her food..
i have to add stuff like peanut butter to make her WANT to eat the food..
and the poor girl didn't managed to nap at all yesterday..because her head can't touch the ground..
so the entire day..she was either standing and zoning into space...
or standing around watching cars zoom past and all..
yeah...
still trying to locate the source of her discomfort tho...
she stepped on my foot last night..and started whining...
but after examining her paw...i couldn't find anything wrong..and..she's not even limping..
so..
-shrugs-
sigh...poor girl...

Dear God,
How come you didn't invent any new animals lately? We still have just all the old ones.
Johny

Just to prove Calyn wrong.
I went to taiwan for the holidays. It was fun.
went to taipei, tainan, taichung, and back to taipei.
i love taiwan tv channels.
heh.
that's about that i reckon.
the food in taiwan is amazing lar...AMAZING.
even their food court set meals are super nice lar!


errr...i took about 500over pictures...and i'm too lazy to do anything about it..so..
heh.. :)
the best beef noodles ever..




Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you got now?
Jane

People are generally keen to gain your approval. When you make what you term as "proper friends" you tend to stay with them through thick and thin.
You are outgoing and cheery and have no problem being in the lime light. In fact you rather like it
You naturally take charge of a situation and are very good at getting things done.
You like variety and get bored if there isn't enough of it.
You thrive on the good things in life believing that we only pass this way once and should make the most of it, and by golly you do!
You really are quite romantic but don’t worry too much about this as it soon wears off!
Smart cars, good food wine dancing and song would ensure you were making the most of living the high life.
If these are not currently in your life they are certainly high on your agenda and a life style you aspire to.
You crave recognition, and bask in the glow from compliments especially if they are about how competent you are

After watching like 2.5 taiwanese dramas in the past half a year...
i conclude..
guys like dumb girls..

i mean...seriously..
it makes sense..just like how girls like guys who are smart..
case reference 1 --> it started with a kiss..
the 'dumb' girl managed to end up with the hawttt and super duper ultra smart guy..
case reference 2 --> smiling pasta..
it's just another cinderella story..which happens to be nice..
so..
like...
maybe airheads aren't all THAT stupid afterall.

hmm..
maybe.

2006 has been interesting...and in a way...quite eventful.
well...
firstly...i've got a new niece.
then 2 days later...i landed with a new puppy.
and then there was hours of shit duty...
toilet training..
1st month celebrations..
dog training..
and kidnapping of baby gwen..
that followed.
currently..
gwen was spotted talking to ginger in baby language..
no idea if dog language is similar to baby gurgle..
-shrugs-
and then..
i ended my nus 'career' on a high..
well..not to some people la.. but to me..definately a high.

and it's things like that that remind me how wonderful my God is.
like...
1. i always wanted a dog..but after recieving 'NO' so many times from my parents..i sorta decided that i'll get it when i get my own place to live in..and so...i kinda stopped harbouring any desire for a dog..that was like..sometime in sec/jc, i reckon...didn't do anything about it...didn't pray etc. nada.
then...out of the blue...i've got ginger..and considering the fact that she's a golden retriever...i didn't have too much problem getting the parental approval. in fact it was more of the lines of...
'so how? want the golden retriever? want to see issit? ok can.' the whole decision making process lasted less than 30mins. we got the dog like 2 days after i saw her. fast right...i know..

it's stuff like that...things that i myself may have inadvertably forgotten over the years...or filed away as things to do in the future..and that's that.
the future wasn't here yet...at least not to me..
but then...apparently...God hasn't forgotten my prayers...and well...my idea of 'the future' isn't the same as His idea of 'the future'..and really...
His timing was good..it was really good..
because...
i got Ginger during the last sem...where i was just basically bumming lar..
i had to finish 3 modules..and that was that.
3 modules of my choice...nothing heavy and stuff...except french..which was interesting.. :)
i had school on 2 days...and 2hrs of tutorial on another day...
so i had ALOT of time to spend with ginger during her first few months in the family..
if i had her after i started work..
who's gonna toilet train her?
toilet training itself was really time consuming..
but it's soo cool when she'll just open the kitchen sliding door and go to her toilet and all when it's raining.. :D
nyeh.

'twas a good year...and well...may '07 be a good year too :)
