escaping mundanity & normalcy..

[郭美美 - 勾勾手]

granted myself another item from my
wishlist last week.. in advanced of the
dateline I set for myself.. by March..
find it a deal too good to miss out.. so
don't want to wait any longer.. thus,
burning a big hole in my pocket.. but
happy in the other way.. that finally I
got a laptop of my own.. the most
expensive thing that I've got for myself
so far.. guess it's time to carry out some
rationing on expenses from now on.. =p

on the other hand.. I have someone.. or
perhaps "sometwo" nagging for updates
here.. if I still don't start.. I guess my
tagboard might be flooded.. because both
of theirs are kind of like.. "untagable" =p

after working of consecutive 15 days..
which only a couple of days are in OTs..
signs of fatigue a.k.a retard response..
hmm.. ain't I always like this? hehe.. nonsensical
reply to questions.. and also shrinkage
in social circle.. have not been meeting
my friends as often.. and also tiredness..

met up with the usual clique last Friday
for dinner at Tastes of Thai.. to celebrate
Wee's birthday.. coincidentally his actual
day falls on the same day as my Dad..
rushed there straight after work.. intend
to take a cab down.. but not a single cab
in sight was available.. end up taking bus
and train to Sembawang Shopping Centre..
luckily was quite familiar to that place..
as I went there for a number of time.. so
I manage to reach not too late.. while the
rest of them headed for Double O.. I make
my way home with Wee giving me a ride..
I know that some are finding me weird for
missing out such joints lately.. and I don't
really bother to explain.. or perhaps I don't
know how to..

4 days of break for the Chinese New Year
is sufficient to recharge back the lost energy
that I've used up over the weeks.. practically
resting at home.. and a couple of house visits..
it has not been a harvesting occasion since
many years back.. nothing to look forward to..
went Alan's place last night.. happen to be at
Jurong West.. so meeting the guys is quite
convenient.. had dinner at Jurong Point with
Morgan, Willy and Patrick.. Bryant and my
brother came a while later.. played blackjacks..
won a few bucks.. but end up losing a lot during
the "In Betweens".. tough luck.. eventually lost
more than I've won earlier..

later will be treating my family for dinner.. it's
my Dad's lunar calender birthday.. either it's
shared between my sister and me.. or likely to
be ended up paying alone.. haha.. either way..
doesn't really matter.. as long as everyone are
happy right? =)

it has been 6 months since I switched to this
current job.. so far that I've gone throught..
things are going on quite kind for me.. although
setbacks and mistakes are unavoidable.. most
importantly.. is to learn from them.. and from
others.. can't always be the one that makes all
the mistakes right?? hehe.. =p

now that I've got half of my wishlist.. the other
half will have to wait and see.. but looking really
forward for a short holiday oversea.. in months
to come.. hopefully..

TaKe CaRE!!

[王蓝茵 - 恶作剧]

better start this post.. before someone
complain that I'm getting lazy again.. =p

being pretty busy at work for the past
whole week.. working non-stop since
last Friday.. only till Thursday, I get to
rest.. not after a gruesome schedule that
I've planned up for myself.. too engross
with work and forget about dates..

enrolled for an internal course at Depot
Road on Thursday.. but forgetting about
I'm on night shift the previous day..!! got
to drag myself after work to the class..
luckily it was only a 3 hour course.. with
test that easily passed.. hehe.. lucky me..

public holiday on Tuesday.. but I got to
get back to work.. production is running
a tight schedule.. but was allow to arrive
late.. as all of us were involve in a dinner
event.. the newbies treating the oldies..
had the dinner at Fish & Co.. total bill
come up to S$700!! but quite reasonable
for 25 persons meal.. and I got to pay for
it first.. got to get back to $$$ from them
next week.. =p

cough seems to subside.. but not recovered..
wondering why it took so long.. perhaps I
should drink more water.. but funny enough..
when I start work.. I can easily forget about
a lot of things.. water.. toilet break.. lunch..
easily when things become so busy.. someone
don't seems to understand the urgency.. and
keep getting on my nerves.. not only mine..

with someone older.. more experienced in
the field.. although I'm a month earlier in
joining this company.. but with his previous
job experiences.. I thought one should be
more sensible and responsible.. yet I'm now
seeing a difference.. leaving me in a limbo..
as a senior to him.. yet facing a elder person..
how am I suppose to reprimand him?? feel
really awkward.. even though my supervisor
had voice out once.. that I should.. if anything
goes wrong.. yet I couldn't bring myself to do
it.. I'm just not up to this..

because of this.. one of the operator.. wonder
why my temper is so mild.. able to tolerate
for so long.. is trying means and ways to flare
up in front of her.. hahaha.. weird..

will be another long week ahead.. got to head
down to Woodland from Monday to Thursday..
Woodland!!! so far away.. was send there by
my supervisor to attend a job related course..
well.. at least it's something good for my job
advancement.. but I hate the travelling..!! I
guess my colleague who is going with me is the
happiest person regarding this.. because he
lived in Yishun.. -_-"

laptop seems likely to arrive earlier than I
expected.. the price dropped.. and makes me
really tempted.. shall placed an order once my
payday arrived.. finally.. I got to have my own
little machine to play with.. hehe.. =p think it's
a good bargain getting $600 or more lesser
than market price..

weekend.. weekend.. perhaps it's a homely
weekend for me.. time to pack my stuffs..
getting a little messy at home.. hehe.. laziness..

[周杰伦 - 深蓝色的情书]

2006.. what does this string of number
significant? a better or worse? 365 steps
of road.. 4 steps taken.. so many more
haven't.. looking back at 2005? should
we always remind ourselves of history??
probably not too often.. isn't life about
going forward? even if you are to look
back.. don't look back in anger.. =)

the last sentence sounds cool right? hee..
borrowed it from Oasis.. they are here
for their concert soon.. will I be there??
nope.. probably not.. I guess not many
people will be interested.. as in my friends..

partying is already something past.. how
my New Year is spent? working on Eve..
met the usuals from KTV throughout the
night.. followed by Issac Wong's full month
celebration.. to see a buddy going through
parenthood.. saw the change in him.. which
is rather good.. at least for good.. =)

first day back to work on a new year.. rather
pleasing.. no rewards.. just a pat on the back
by my supervisor for recognising the work
that I've put in.. and also the recieving good
reviews from many others.. work can be quite
tiring.. but simple gestures can make people
goes on.. still then.. complacency must not get
into my head.. there is more work to be done..

something urgent on my agenda too.. I think
I got to control my spendings.. seems like I've
been spending lots lately.. not very good sign
for my accounts.. the urge to spend seems to
happen as and when naturally.. so much that
I've forgotten about saving.. got to do some-
thing about it.. before it goes too late again..

got family dinner tomorrow evening.. when is
the last time we actually had dinner together?
hmm.. don't really remember.. should be a
few months back.. everyone are busy with our
own stuffs.. perhaps a swim in the early noon
if the weather permits.. =p

hungry.. dinner.. got to go..

TaKe CaRE!!
