Chilling out
Work work work work work. 5 days work week is killing me already. First there is Monday blues. Then Tuesday, I begin to think like “HUH?!? It’s just Tuesday?” What a long long week more to go. Wednesday? Well, I feel slightly better at the end of the day, knowing that I’m more than halfway thru the week. On Thursday, the playful Ricky will partly surface. AND Friday… WHEE!!! I’m free. The cycle goes on and on.
There comes a time I get super frustrated by this cycle. So, there’s always CHILL OUT NIGHT!!! =D Yes yes!! One of the coolest thing to do. So privileged to have the whole night to chill and relax. No worries. No whatever. The only worry? Yeah maybe there’s one. Catching the last bus back. Haha~
Well, I’m really glad to have a cool hang out partner and ex H3 lab partner, miss He Li. Hmm… and also one of the highest income earner among the A level graduates. So lucky. But well, she claimed that I’m the only one earning more than her among the people she knows. Erm~ hahs. Yeah, that is after my commission la~ =) And so, she nicknamed me as Mr 1.9. Hahaha!!
Yeah, we had this whole long conversation at Gloria Jeans!! The Pasta Salad that she recommended me is really really good. I liked it =) We ordered ourselves both a white chocolate chip latte or something. It really feels good sipping it bit by bit as we talked. Feels like we’re releasing our stress and pressure we get from work. Hehs~
Looking Serious. Business is a serious matter.
Still looking friendly.
Come on, just be yourself. We're free from work. For the day!! and the WEEK!!!
Hmmmmm~~
"I know I'm hot. I don't give a damn." quoted from He Li.
Matching phones!! =D
Smile Smile Smileeeee
I want more chill out nights PLEASE!! Gimme gimme, gimme more!! Hahahahas =D Oh no… that night animal is taking over me ;)

This weekend was really cool. Fritzie a.k.a MONICA and I have been talking about this JB trip for quite sometime. So, we decided to get our butts off and head down for a shopping spree. Vina and learn khang came along. Yeah, we have one thing in common. We’re colleagues! Super cool rite! Going on a trip with colleagues =)
So, sat morning we all woke up the same time as any other working day =\ I so reluctantly pulled myself out of bed. It’s like I so wanna wake up late on a sat morning. But wells, that’s the sacrifice I had to make to avoid the crowd and have more time to spare in JB.
Four of us went in two different groups. Team A consists of fritzie and vina. Team B consists of me and learn khang. The first pit stop was Woodlands Checkpoint. Crossing the checkpoint was super fast for me even though there was a HUGE HUGE crowd there. Because as me and learn khang was wondering around to find a shorter queue, one counter just opened right in front of me. Hahas. However, at the checkpoint, Team A is still leading even though they got stuck for about 10 minutes. They managed to board bus 170 right in front of us. Team B followed closely behind. Evantually, Team A got to the final pit stop – JB Checkpoint a minute before Team B. Hahas That was where we met up and walked to city square.
We headed straight for the Cineplex!!! Hahas Wells, because the movie tics are just so cheap as compared to Singapore. Here, a movie tic just cost S$ 4 ONLY!! That’s the weekend price and it’s STILL CHEAPER than the weekday student priced ticket in Singapore =D That is why I’m a total movie fan back in Msia. Especially during the 3 months hols after As. Watch till I literally ran out of movies to watch. Ahahaha. So, we watched definitely, maybe. 3 relationships, 3 disasters. And it ended happily ever after. Nice movie. I just feel I can relate my feelings to it. So many thoughts and feelings overflowed in me during and even after the movie. And… I just don’t know how to put them in words. It doesn’t matter I guess.
Next, four of us went around looking for hair salons!! Hahaha =D Cuz we thought of doing something, yeah~ just something to our hair. Groom ourselves nicely at some classy hair salons. REDS hairdressing, Jean Yip hairdressing, FOX, Hair waves, Thomas & Guys, Jansen. Yeah~ I can now memorise all of them. Why? Haha~ Well, because we actually went from salons to salons twice or even thrice for some to make up our minds. Evantually, our final decision? Guess what!?! We decided to just buy hair products instead. Erm…All our effort of walking and surveying… Hahas~
Oh, and besides that, we were like eating something every hour! It’s like after walking for an hour, we’ll like “hey, lets find something to eat!” hahs~ Wells, food back there is just too nice and too cheap to resist! Hehe~ Even before we left the mall at 8 plus, we shopped for more food to bring back to Singapore. I just feel like buying everything. Haih~ just if food doesn’t perish so easily.
After roaming in the mall for one whole day, the chamwhores eventually revealed themselves. Haha! Lalala~ Dancing Chamwhoring in the moonlight.
After a session of taking pics like nobody’s business, we headed for home. Fritzie seemed especially lively, jumping up and down, asking what’s next what’s next. Wells, she claimed she’s a night animal. And she’s oh so excited that we’re taking the same bus back to Singapore. Haha.
It was really great!!! We’ll head back to JB, other parts of it or other malls after our next pay day when we have more money. Hahahha =D - - -
Sunday. Woke up super late around noon as I was so so so tired after the whole JB trip. Can still feel my legs aching slightly. I logged onto msn as I have no plans for the day. Saw cat, my dearest buddy online. And so, I complained about me feeling stuck in my room with no where to go. Sunday is a day which I usually hang out at places like orchard, suntec, marina square etc etc with people. Even my roommate went out. So, I was telling her how miserable I was. No plans, no where to go, nobody to go with… I really really appreciate your wonderful listening ears buddy =) Luckily she was there. And then she told me that it is actually a good thing to spend a day with myself. It made me wonder. Maybe I should. After a while, she went off to do face mask, hair mask of whatever mask it is. And I thought I should do something for myself.
So, decided to bring myself to parkway to get some stuffs. I collected some stuff I ordered earlier. After which I bought myself a cup of milk tea to sip. It feels really good to treat myself a nice drink as I walk care freely under the light blue sky. I felt so relaxed. So free. My actual plan was to head back home after buying myself drink. But I decided to head for the beach instead.
Beach – a place with so many, so much memories. I can see myself doing all the things I once did as I walk down the footpath, sipping that milk tea I have in my hand. It was really crowded as it’s a Sunday. So, I stepped out of the footpath and walked along the sandy beach. It was nice. I was sort of having this conversation with myself as I walked. I felt as if I’m holding hands with my other self beside me. The grip was just nice, just the right pressure, just the right temperature. It was like we’re relating to each other about the thoughts and feelings we shared. Too much to talk about, too much to share. So I settled down at a spot under a tree as I was having this conversation within me. Things of the past and the present went through my mind as we talked. It was so comforting, going through the past hurts and pain, trying my best to overcome them, one by one, hand in hand. I felt so nice. Never knew spending time with myself was so enjoyable. I’m so sorry for always neglecting myself, ricky. I should have spent more time, quality time with myself. I’m glad I made a right choice, having a date, spending a whole day with myself.
Thanks for the day. I love you, ricky.
Thank you, jiayi for being there for me on a Sunday morning. If it isn’t because of you and your words, I wouldn’t have did what I did today and have a dreadful day instead. It’s always great talking to you. I love you loads. Take care.

Pulled myself up super duper early this morning. My handphone called me up at 7.20 this morning, which is 1hr earlier than usual. Well, because I had to go to MOE to run some so called “errands”. I think I’m able to prepare myself up in a shorter time nowadays. But my roommate learn khang still consider it long. Hmm… well, because I always take my own sweet time as I always dread to go work. Yeah, all the practice, it’s getting better and better. Practice makes perfect.
And when I arrive at the MRT, great, I see the working crowd. Packed like sardines. And when I decided to take out my earphones to put some music into my ears… It’s gone. Freak. I just realised I used it in my room yesterday and forgotten to put it back into my bag. …
MOE building is just so so SO pretty. Brings back a lot of memories too. Well, the last time there, I still remember myself talking to some scholar friends. And now, I see that all of us have pulled ourselves through this 4 year journey. I still remember the first time going to MOE with a group of friends, I was really impressed. WE were so impressed by the building. But after knowing what’s actually going inside, haha… I guess it isn’t an easy place to work.
Well well well… time really flies. So many memories. 4 years of study in Singapore just passed like that. Haih~ and I’m working now. I really really miss going to school. I want to relive the great times I have back then. I miss having a class. I just miss the days.

Woke up super late on this Saturday morning and found out that it was raining cats and dogs. And so it ruined my plan of going out. I just don’t like myself to be drenched after putting on going-out-clothes. And so, I dated myself for the day instead. I went online and saw cat. Had a nice chat. And I don’t know why we went on talking about our past relationships. The past is always the past. We just can’t change anything that has happened. But it feels good to comfort and encourage each other since we’re in the same boat for now. Well, the topic ended quickly as it was not too good to dwell too long on it. What we can do is to treasure the time and chance we have right now to make things right and set things for the future.
So, later I played some songs and did some recordings. Took a looooong time just to record a chorus of a song. I was worried I will wake the neighbours up but I still sang like nobody’s business. Hahs.
That was how I spent the whole morning and afternoon.
After that, thank God the rain stopped and I got ready for church. I just think I’m pro at being at places ON TIME. Because I always slowly prepare myself until it’s the time for me to leave. And so as I walked out of my house, I saw a bus coming. Looking at the time, I know I must get on any bus, or else I’ll be late. So I just hopped on. 1st time talking this bus as I always took the other route. Everything that followed was all just so perfect timing. The train just left immediately after I boarded it as trains at Tanah Merah towards changi airport always take their own sweet time. And tadah~ I reached church on time. Service started as soon as I stepped in.
What actually made me and all my other brothers and sisters took the trouble, came all the way to that exact place? Saturday is a day which I so look forward to. Not only it’s a weekend that I can finally rest. But mainly because I can go to church!! Yup yup. Thinking of it already makes me feel so happy. It’s not because of obligation. Not duty. But the love for the heavenly father.
During the service, I was struck by something. I suddenly remember the tithe I gave last week for the month for april. As I’m already a working guy right now, tithe shouldn’t be that small amount when I was a student. Honestly, writing the exact amount on the offering envelope stirred up some feelings in me. But I know I will never out-give God. Parting with that somehow large sum of money was hard. But deep down I knew, what God has done for me worth a million times more than what I gave. Then, today, what struck me was my weekly incentive I’ve earned from my job this week. I was dumb folded when I realised the exact figure. It was exactly 2 times of my tithe. "God will definitely bless you with 2 fold, 10 fold, or a hundred fold of what you have given to Him" A phrase which is so familiar and now I see it. This is my first job, my first income. And I can see the hands of God in my life. To see how He has turned so many unfavourable situations around just touched me so much. Warm tears just flowed down my cheeks.
Amazing love. Who am I? Just a small speck of dust in a vast universe. I LOVE YOU!!! I shouted at the end of the praise song at the end of the service. My heart trembled and the warmest tear flowed out of my eyes as I know those words came out right from the most deep down and bottom of my heart.

It has been long long time since I have the chance to use my comp to go online. Well, because I somehow messed up with the drivers. Causing my comp to be unable to recognise my network adapter. So couldn’t get on to ANY wireless. yeah~ so that explain my disappearance from the net, as I can only access msn thru my Nokia.
Well, talking about wireless. Remember the time when I have that super ultra cool gadget called the 3G wireless modem? Yeah, it’s gone. Thanks to that stupid guy who moved into the mansion. Miss Lee was so nice to subscribe to wireless for everybody to use but he complained that the speed was too slow. So, to please him, the kind soul in me just passed it to him.
Well, staying in this place is just interesting. I get to see so many good, bad and horrible things. Seriously. Yeah~ that stupid guy. He’s a dwarf. Quoted from my friend. At first I didn’t believe. He described him as someone less than a metre tall. How can it be? AND the essence is… HE WEARS HIS UNDERWEAR WALKING AROUND. SHOWING THE SHAPE OF HIS *toooooot* Well, later in the day yesterday, I got to witness it. Ewww~~It is plain disgusting!! As I was talking to the model-looking lady living next door while she was cooking, she poured out all her bitchiness about that guy. Hahas~ She said that guy keeps wearing underwear walking around, what does he have to show? If he’s a good looking hunk, she wouldn’t mind. Ahhas…… And then she also bitched about his wife. Claiming that his wife came out in the middle of the night with a semi-transparent night gown without her bras on. Hahas… Oh wells, interesting or rather disgusting people.
Soon after a chat with her while she was cooking, I found out that she’s really a model. Haha… cause I have been referring her as “that model lady” to my friend. And so she is. She pointed to her hair and showed me her “toot hairstyle” (quoted from her) and said she got 1200 bucks for that, so she didn’t mind. Well, if I was her, of cause I won’t mind either. Free haircut and a free hair coloring. It’s nice to talk to her and keep her company while she’s cooking. Everybody likes company. Even I do. In return, I get home-cooked food for dinner =)
Today, I’m pretty glad that I made the right choice. Cuz the boss poured in the weekly incentive for this week. Meaning I can make extra money. Yays!!! I correctly predicted it. So, my strategy paid off. Halfway. Will try my best to get something out of it. So that I can get hold of THAT TOPMAN JACKET!!!!!! So cool, sleek and sexy. Simply my right fit!
