My Expensive Weekend

Who knows staying in Singapore on a weekend before graduation is so expensive?

Rental of Grad Gown – $230 (will get $140 back, I donated the rest)
Little black dress for Grad Night (Prom) – $138
Signing up for SMU Alumni member – $10
Grad Photo Scam – $50 (as deposit, another $200 more to pay)
Make-up for prom – $28 (I better look like Liv Tyler by the end of it)
Miscellaneous cab fares for next weekend – $100

Awwww, it’s still more than 20 days to next pay day and guess what? I’m already broke.

Haha.

Blackberry is expensive to have! My bill came up to $100 this month!

Ahh there’s a growth at my left ear and its causing me tremendous pain.

No Batam for 2 weeks! I miss the boy. :*

girls night out

Pinky is back in Singapore for a week!

We just met up for dinner at Coca Restaurant. Its just so much fun being out with the girls! And talking about stuff we used to do back in those days after o levels!

We used to go orchard every other day. Played pool and subsequently CS together!

I miss those times! Its almost a decade!

Alrights I shall go to bed now. I had so much fun tonight!

Superstar Virgo

I just came back from my virgin cruise trip to nowhere! It was fantastic!

The room was pretty good! We got the balcony deck! So when I opened the balcony door there was 2 deck chairs and the sea beyond the glass railings! And at night, it was just a galaxy of stars to gaze upon.

Checked out the casinos too, not as big as Genting but pretty good as well. I was wondering where were the other 2000 people on board cos’ I don’t see much people around when I went restaurants and stuff, but I realized most were congregated at the casino!

Watched 2 movies at the big movie theatre and also a stand-up comedy cum juggling show by a French man. Pretty good shit.

There’s a nice water slide cum swimming pool too! I had 2 go at the water slide!

Food was quite good too. I didn’t get sea sick though I did feel a lot of vibrations even while I was sleeping.

And when I got back I watched movie with Ervien and sent him off to take a ferry to batam. And met up with his best friend, Weibo. Hee. Weibo is still full of shit as usual. Had dinner with his cousin too, I don’t like spoilt brats.

Next week Batam again! I want to have the fish soup and do something to my hair before graduation!

Oh I hope to get extra ticket so that Ervien can come to my graduation! If anyone got extra tickets and don’t mind giving to me I be very grateful!

Alrights damn tired I’m off!

Blissful

Work is picking up, quite sick to say this, but I’m glad when there’s work rather when there isn’t and time pass too slowly.

Had dinner with Tiak and Zhong last week after work (can’t remember when) and watched Taking of Pelham 123! What a great movie! I want to watch it again!

Met up earlier with Cassan and Cliff for dinner at Hougang, had my favourite hokkien mee at Simon Road! Woohoo. And been so long since I saw them! I think these friends are the best thing that came out of my last relationship.

The cruise this weekend is confirmed! Oh I can’t wait.

I’m seeing Ervien quite exclusively now. And it’s been great. I’m just really happy! I’m glad I found a good listener, companion, driving-instructor (trying to work this part out). And my mom just found out about him over dinner last night. She don’t say but I know she’s happy for me.

And since people have been asking. So here’s some facts about the boy: he’s my age, Weibo’s best friend, stays in Batam, met him more than a year ago, he can speak so many languages, and able to read arabic. haha. I’m quite impressed with him la.

And the sweetest part is he went to buy BB storm after I got my Javelin so we can communicate 24/7 (not that its that exaggerating).

Okay now I sound so love-struck.

I aim to be on time for work everyday but I hate feeder buses in the morning! omg. Why do I have to wait like 20 minutes for a 3 minutes bus-ride?!

I’m starting to love my work place more and more. I have fun colleagues and I’m getting used to having to be at work every weekday and sleeping regular hours. And just looking forward to the weekend to meet Ervien.

Life is good.

BERRY

Finally got my hands on that Berry! I bought a Javelin, sacrificed 3G for something small and light! But my monthly bill is gonna be so chor (expensive)!

Last weekend at Batam was good. I drove a good 50km and Ervien fell asleep sometime after telling me “you are doing good, just keep to your lane”. I almost hit a bike when the bugger did not turn on any lights on a DARK stretch of road!

I just went to catch Monsters vs Aliens with my colleague, Shuyun. The movie was just lame and not nice. OMG. But I had a good time nonetheless checking out the new mall at Bugis.

Probably going on a cruise next weekend with Ervien and his family. Hope its fun fun fun! Especially with lil’ Nicholas on board!

And it’s Father’s Day celebration this Sunday, my siblings and I are organizing a big feast at home.

Alrights i better be off to bed!

My Exciting Weekend!

I had such a relaxing weekend, although it was packed full of interesting activities!

Friday
Well, after work on Friday I went to catch my ferry over to HarbourBay (Batam). I was so super tired on the ferry, I fell asleep, but to be woken up by the guy sitting next to me, who passed me a Health Declaration Form to be filled up. It was some formality done by their authorities with regards to the recent H1N1 outbreak. And I couldn’t fall back to sleep after that.

When I reached Batam, got to the custom, and they passed me the Health Declaration Form, they didn’t want it (I sacrificed my sleep to fill the numerous blank fields), I felt a bit cheated. Anyway, when I got out there, I couldn’t find Ervien! He was supposed to pick me up, but we joked about it in the day that maybe he will just not come, and I be stranded! So when I didn’t see him, I panicked! Haha, but eventually he came.

We went to eat at a hotel (forgot which one, there’s so many around) but I was feeling too nauseous from the ferry ride to have any form of appetite! And went to pick out some DVDs to watch before heading back to his place. Watched Make It Happen before I fell swiftly into sleep, drifted in and out of sleep. Wanted to start learning to drive that night, but I was too tired from the week’s worth of work.

Saturday
Woke up with breakfast in bed! And drifted back to sleep after my breakfast, I was too tired. Waited for Ervien to end work before we head to Turi Beach Resort for the day. OMG the beach resort is damn damn nice! The whole place looks really Zen! Haha, if I’m dirt rich I would have bought a unit of their apartment/beach front room complete with a private staircase leading up to a balcony and the room.

After settling down, we went over to a little hut within the resort which we can rent and do jet ski! The nice man (which I later found out was called Yoga, I made jokes about his name to him), asked if we wanted a jet each but I was too scared la. Haha, am still incredibly afraid of falling into the sea and drown! But anyway Ervien likes it fast but I’m too scared of speed! And the seawater splashing all over my face (shouldn’t have make up on!) and I tasted lots of the water. If it wasn’t so expensive I would have wanted to have another go at it, alone! Haha.

After that we headed over to a “kelong” to have dinner, crabs, prawns, cumi goreng (calamari)! Wonderful dinner but I subsequently developed a huge bout of stomachache, which didn’t go away for the night. Went back to the resort to rest cos’ my tummy hurt like hell! But I got hungry in the middle of the night, and called for room service but I canceled it due to the limited variety of food and head out.

Here comes the best part of the whole weekend:

Ervien let me drive his SUV out! I was so excited! Had to ask him to teach me the simpliest things: how to start the car, how to switch the signals on, high beams (so impt!), adjust the side mirrors, rear view mirror, how to switch the gear to drive, brake, accelerate etc! He told me that he’s been driving for 10 years, so he forgot what it feels like to drive for the first time.

Anyway I drove from the resort to the city, which was like a good 30-40 minutes! Haha, but throughout I was more excited than scared. I had to try to keep in my lane, signals, slow down (Ervien reckon I should keep at 60km/h just in case), brake when I see the red lights, check for vehicles before I want to switch lanes to overtake. (HAHA IM SORRY IF ANY OF THESE ARE BORING YOU GUYS!) And the most exciting is trying to make a right turn and a U-turn, I thought I was gonna hold up a lot of traffic! And one thing I learnt, oncoming vehicles doesn’t stop anyone to make a U-turn! And it’s kinda hard to try to listen to turn left, turn right, because I take more than 3o seconds to figure out what’s left and right! And I almost completed a parallel parking! Which was pretty bad cos’ Ervien had to readjust after I got out.

After having our teochew porridge, we got back to the car, Ervien drove first and I took over. But of course life is not exciting enough: the left rear tyre punctured while I was driving. Ervien just calmly told me to stop cos’ we have to change a tyre. This was bad because I was urgently in need to pee!

Anyway, he told me to stay in the car while he jack up the car and change the tyre. I thought I could wait till the resort, but, the road was downhill so it was damn difficult to jack it up safely. Anyway I did the unthinkable la, I asked him to drive somewhere more secluded, and I went to the bushes to pee! HAHA. I really couldn’t wait! And went back into the car to wait for him to change the tyre. He later explained to me that it was very dangerous for a girl to be standing out there and there are people driving past whom may harrass us. But I felt quite safe la.

I didn’t drive after that, I felt like it was my fault or I jinx the car. And Ervien also wanted to get back to resort fast. Haha, that concluded the exciting day.

Sunday
Had lunch at another seafood place. Ervien told me that the big boat restaurant that used to be at Sentosa was bought over by the owner of this seafood place. Anyway the whole restaurant was huge, he even have a hotel next to it where we went to play snooker at.

And anyway I just got home. Too tired!

But I had a great weekend!

I definitely gonna learn driving properly, soon. In the meantime, I have my very personal driving instructor, who is very patient, and trust me so much that he was looking for CDs to play music while I was driving!

Okay, kind of looking forward to work this week, I wonder what’s in store for me!

Errrmmm

I think it is very stupid if I gotta password protect my post every time I blog, unless I gonna password protect entry into my blog.

And I like to write for people to see, so I don’t think I should let one person stop me from blogging freely.

So no more password protection, it was stupid. HAHA.

Steven commented that my blog is boring! But at least I know that there are others out there, reading now! Haha. I made quite a few friends over the years through my blog.

Anyway, whoever you are, I know you are reading this, and telling him all about my life in Korea, new updates about my life. Stop torturing yourself. He’s not interested in my life anymore, and I’m not interested in his. And you shouldn’t feel insecure, you deserve much more than him, who can never in this lifetime, ever, settle down.

Well, there’s the H1N1 invasion to Singapore already! And the carrier is my fellow SMU-mate, though I do not know who she is, she’s not revealing her identity. President Howard Hunter sent out an email to the school today, but students are not allowed to disclose information. I feel like I’m part of a circle of trust. HAHA. Anyway, hope she’s fine.

Someone commented that once you get married, you gotta accept that life is over. I do not agree, I think its a start of something new. Just my views. I feel that it is bringing the relationship to another stage where you can pool resources, stay together, have a family and learn to take care of each other through whatever problems and work things out without giving up.

Though my recent breakup causes quite a dent into my emotional state and distrust towards the male species. I still believe that someone out there feels the same way I do and one day if I can open my heart I can find that. It’s just not now. I can never allow myself to be hurt and feel abandoned again.

And I feel that men or women who say marriage is the end of their life, are people who are not contented with their partners. They may subconsciously be still searching for that perfect someone. Someone smarter, slimmer, leaner, stronger, lovelier, sexier and the likes. That’s why they feel so unhappy with commitment, they can no longer play the field.

I think marriage can be beautiful if 2 people can be contented, and grow together instead of apart over the years, like some couples do, which is really sad.

My parents are a classic examples of 2 people, whom I believe were madly in love once, that grew apart before we even grew up.

Everything takes a lot of effort.

I screwed up this relationship I know. Instead of forcing you to forgive me and work things out, its best to let you go and find your contentment in life.

And on my part, I know I will never do it again. Tarot reader was right, I should have heed her advice. But maybe I just wasn’t contented then.

Work is, just work. I hope it gets exciting soon!

I’m heading over to Batam this weekend, Ervien and I are planning lots of shits to do!

Overwhelmed

I’ve officially changed from a hobo, post-graduation, to an OL, minus a lot of free time.

Those days of watching Gossip Girls till the wee hours and plowin, sowing and harvesting on FB’s FarmTown is officially over.

I started work and it was, overwhelming. Lost is more like it. Taking minutes is a horrible event not to be repeated ever again. And thanks to my boss for dropping a bombshell on me today, makes it even worse. It’s only 2 weeks into work and I’m regretting not taking up the first offer I signed for. My boss said he felt really bad about it, but seriously, omg, are you kidding me?

I had a horrible day, but ended up pretty good, even though I did not become 5 million bucks richer like 4 million other hopeful residents in Singapore, who probably also bought lots of TOTO!

I met up with the girls after doing a bit of OT today. Its been awhile, sorry I’ve been MIA-ing.

I realized I gave up a lot of things just to spend more time to be with someone who wish I’m not around often. Am I too blind to see? I know I’m jaded, but those who knows me, know that I will never give up on love. It might be the wrong time, wrong person, wrong things I’ve done and will never be forgiven, but at the end of the day, at least I can tell myself, I’ve given it all.

I had a really good time in Batam last weekend, being pampered by Ervien and Deny. But mostly Ervien.

Random thoughts.

Just played mahjong over at Mabel’s. Her mom just got back from Japan so we’ve got a lot of snacks! Really like being around mothers, mine especially.

OMG. I still can’t get over what my boss told me la. F***

And he also said I should project the right image for my job, cos’ people don’t take me seriously. He thinks I will be good with the men but people will just take me for a bimbo. OMG.

Anyway I’m damn lost at work now la. At least if I continued to do what I had been doing, what I was really good at, I might feel better.

And I just found out that a 7-11 franchise cost $70,000 in Singapore. Not that expensive when you think about it.

Looking forward to tomorrow, Frisbee at the beach with Weibo, Suzi and Ervien! It’s so nice to have all the people I love hanging out together.

I’m heading over to Batam again next weekend, the things that keeps me going amidst these lousy things I’m going through.

And oh yeah, the past four days was spent at my cousin’s grandmother’s funeral. The worst part about funerals take place at the viewing gallery of a crematorium. Its just tear-jerkish.

The best part about starting full-time employment again, are the weekends. Simply precious time. And now there’s something else that keeps me looking forward to weekends!

I better get to bed now! Else I be late to go meet the gang tomorrow.

Play Time

I’m not gone yet, waiting for the clock to strike 5.30pm! Gonna meet TM for dinner, he helped me purchase my ferry tickets last evening!

I’m going over Batam to meet Ervien and his friends, chill out and probably change my hair (therapeutic) before I come back!

Day 3 and I am doing good, won’t be long before I get to that stress-free stage.

News is, I’ve been dumped, hard. I should feel relieved, that too will come soon after my irrationality about holding on goes off.

Oh my gawd, I’m ranting, I just deleted a chunk of my honest thoughts because it’s too brutally true.

Met up with Tiak last night, had a really good time. I must say he is quite a good listener and companion. And we watched a “comedy”, Henry Poole is here. OMG, the ticket sales girl told us it was a comedy but it wasn’t.

I can’t wait to leave for Batam. KTV, mahjong, clubbing,  hairstyling, beach and seafood!

It’s time to play!
