Bro is fine but he's still in the hospital...so he's missing the ManU match 2nite...haha. On Thursday, the doctor said he can go home the next day. Then on Friday, the doctor said he can go home today. Then today, i got an SMS from him saying he wont be able to go home today. That just sucks! He's in NUH btw.
So i do have lots of work to do...school wise and i'm only barely there. This is pathetic!
I finally got my results for last sememster exams. A for Management (expected) and C for Econs (expected too!). But on average, i'm not too sure.
I'm watching the game between Liverpool and Arsenal at this moment...so ciao!

So Ben called me at 530PM today...surprise surprise. Apparently Ben was 'forced' to go for his knee operation tomorrow when he was scheduled to do it next month! Some other guy who was scheduled tomorrow had to cancel his and they found that Ben was the 'right candidate' to fill up tomorrow's slot! This is ridiculous. IT'S AN OPERATION FOR GOODNESS SAKE! NOT A REGULAR CHECK-UP!!!
People have to be mentally prepared for a surgery...you're going under the knife and mt brother had to be pressured to be mentally prepared in less than 12 hours.
He called and the first thing he said was "Bro...your brother here is going to die tomorrow!"
That got me shock!
So yeah, he have to cancel plans with Huizhen for her birthday coming 1st Aril because he won't be able to walk for weeks! "I'm going to be crippled in less than 12 hours"...that's what he said.
So i hope that everything will be fine and that he will keep his hopes up.

I was chatting via email with dearest Yanping today and revealed to her that i won't be able to shop with her anymore. I have a serious case of 'saving deficiency'. Yes...i made that up.
Starting from my next pay, i have no choice but to save about 26.9% of my take home pay. Yeah it doesn't seem much to you guys because i have not calculated in bills, transport fees, my lunch/dinner in the case i don't bring any food to work, money for my mommy,grandma and sisters and other important expenses. My daily expenses when i'm working fluctuates like crazy. Some things might come up like let's say, someone's birthday and somebody calls you up and say "hey wanna share and get 'somebody' a birthday present?" or "hey, 'somebody' is leaving the company next week, wanna share and get 'somebody' something?" or "hey, let's meet up for our project this weekend. we'll talk it over lunch or something." Oh and not forgetting, i must love myself at least once a month and treat myself to a movie or a nice cup of caramel frappe from Mccafe or once in a while, get myself something nice to eat at work and not bring lunch to work instead. OH and not forgetting, sometimes things just need to be bought at home...like lets say a new pack of sanitary pads, shampoo, shower gel or a new toothbrush.
So there, i can't do any shopping at Forever21 or get a new pair of shoes from Charles & Keith or have a nice lunch with Yanping at Pizza Hut or Ramen Ten. All these will have to wait for at least 3 months and i don't know if i can handle this kind of pressure!
GASP!!!

I had finish reading 'A Place Called Here' by Cecelia Ahern, an Irish author, who happens to be the daughter of Ireland's Prmie Minister. I really love all her books because her ideas were out of teh box and her writing find, brilliant.
A Place Called Here was about a woman who had an obsession of finding for things that she had lost. You know for example, socks, earrings...and the list goes on. So to cut things short, she found a place where all the missing people or missing things go to and the 'residence' called this place 'Here'. There was even a place called 'Lost and Found' where things such as socks,earrings and diaries were. As it is, her lost possession, the ones that she had lost when she was younger were all in a box.
When she was younger a schoolmate of hers went missing and now 14 years later, they met at this place called 'Here'.
I know that this all might sound irrelevant BUT i was starting to think "what if there is such place?".
I was searching through a drawer one find day at work. I wanted to find a file that had customer's name labelled on them. I search through it 3-4 times to no avail. I know that it has to be there coz i had it in my list. One week later, i tried again and was surprised to find it on my first time...at the same spot i did a week ago! SO i was thinking maybe it went to 'Here' and then came back again, coz in Ahern's story, some things came back to the owner and this was what made me irratinally think that such place might just exist.
One other story by her was "If You Could See Me Now" which is about imaginary friends. At the end of the story, one of teh main characters which happens to be an imaginary friend said something like: "Have you ever wondered if we really exist to help you get through certain things in life?"
What if imaginary friends do exist???That all those people you see on the street and those small toddlers and kids who were talking to something/someone in front of them(you cant see themof course) do exist!
Time to ponder over these things...

I just want to post some pics especially of little Izzz. I managed to even get a video of him! Took half day today to see the doctor about my rashes which got worse and also it gives me time to do my assignments! Oh no...i just realise that i miss the Victori's Secret fashion show! I watch it every year...yeh i know some of you have question marks all over your head but yeah i do love watching it!
This is random, I forgot that i took this when we were in Johor!

The title says it all.
I'm walking on eggshells every five minutes of my life when i'm at work. Working in a bank requires you to be on your toes AT ALL TIMES and there's no exception. You do something wrong now...it bites you in the ass in the future!
I'm not sure if i'm tired of it all because i have to keep going and i don't want anything to bring me down. I guess this is life. You have to keep on going eventhough it all suck! Bring yourself together and face the next challenge...keep on going till the end! I'm only 21 and i still have so many years ahead of me (
insyallah...at
Allah's will)...so i shall not complain. I always tell myself that complaining will only make my life worse!

I saw the email and i just smiled. It felt good to know that someone was thinking of you and they tell you about it.
I got a Friendster message from Del today telling me that he suddenly thought of me and told me to SMS him and leave me his number. I sms him straight away with a silly smile on my face. Del is one of my good friends back in secondary school. He was the one i could talk to whenever a problems arise and he was the one i share my jokes with. I missed having him around to talk and to laugh with. He said we should meet up to talk and have coffee together. Sounds too grown up huh? Back in secondary school, you will never have money for a nice cuppa...heck you didn't even think about coffee. But now we're all growing up and i don't know how exactly i should face this issue.
But hey...no matter what, being remembered will always be a good feeling. My heart rose happily just a few days ago but then came tumbling down back again when he called only to ask if i knew this guy who happens to be his friend. There was no "How are you?". Just "Are you busy? I want to ask you something."
All i can conclude for now is that he is not a friend anymore...

I realise that for the whole day that i spend at hme on Friday, i didn't tale any pics of Izzz, my nephew. I have 2 nephews and 2 nieces (anak sedara) on my fathers side, none on my mum's side yet.
Mum is baby sitting Kaka Khiarin's son and it's quite unusual to have a baby boy in the house because it's just...unusual. I don't have any brothers so it's just weird. I don't know when else i will be able to take a pic of Izzz (yes thats how his name is spelt, full name is Izzz Zulhairi). I will be working and by the time i come home, he will be taken home by his parents already. He sure is one crybaby and i love his cheeks!
Nisa is so far taking things well now that my mother has her attention towards another baby. She has to start being independent and i'm afraid that she would kick up a fuss if no ones pay attention to her.
At this moment, i have a swollen left eye and it's just so irritating. Why does this happen to me all the time? I really don't want to go to the doctor in fear that it will lead to something else.I can't take time off work coz i will be taking leave for my exams...i just can't do that.

It's been like a week since i last make an entry.It was school, school was what that has been making me so tired and almost lifeless. I'll be at home only at say 15 minutes to midnight. And then the next day i have to wake up at 630AM to go to work only to start the same process all over again.
This week, i received a confirmation letter from Mendaki, informing me that i got the loan but only $2000 so now my mind is bog down with thoughts on ways to get the balance of $4000 for my school fee.
My off day on Friday was of course spoiled by the fact that i had to go to class at night. Dr Jacob was an ok person. of course he's better than the Korean lady. But he was still kinda boring. The lessons were no doubt more interesting but he was kinda monotonous and i couldn't help it but fell asleep once in a while.
So now that all seminars are dealt and done with, i'm left with assignments and exam. Results for my Econs and MOB are still not out and it has irritated the hell out of me. What's taking them so long?
Today, Sham and me met up together with her friend, a German guy, Andre, for our CCM main-assignment partner project. What we are supposed to do basically is to interview and expatriate. So he has been living in Singapore since 1997. It was definitely and eye-opening experience to get to know an expatriate on more than one basis. We got the interview done in about 45 minutes and then we chatted on a more personal note. I ask him about Europe and football culture in Germany. He was really open and it's a refreshing thing to be talking to someone who is expressive and very open.
I gave myself a treat today and bought Fall out Boy's Infinity on High. Totally catchy songs and hard to memorise song titles!
I think i'l leave here now and leave with some pics i took when i was bored in class.
This is Aiyun, the ever cheerful girl!

Damn it! Chelsea just scored another goal and now they are tied with Spurs...why can't damned Spurs hold on to their 1-3 lead? YES!!! Spurs was leading with 3 goals...to Chelsea!AARGGHHHHH!
Anyway after so much football outside..i realise what i wanted to talk about...the Champion's League quarter finals draw...i rushed home on Friday just to catch it live! I've never watch the draw live you see so i wanted to watch it!
Thankfully or unfortunately (depends on how you look at it), Manchester, Chelsea and Liverpool managed to avoid each other in the Quarter Finals.
Manchester is facing AS Roma.
Liverpool is facing PSV Eidhoven.
Chelsea is facing Valencia. (gasp!!!)
AC Milan is facing Bayern Munich.
But in the event that Chelsea and Liverpool won their quarter finals, they will face each other in the semi finals (deja vu right here).
uurgh i almost miss Ugly Betty. Gonna go catch it now!
4:14 PM
Yes this is my 301st entry! How fast was that? I started in like maybe early 2005 and this is how far i have went.
Anyway i just wanted to post pics that i have been delaying for quite a while!
This s my very small and untidy table at work.
I will look at this when i;m feeling stress and then i will find myself smiling to myself! HAHA
This is the view from the 6th floor of OCBC tower. I was having training and just took some photos.
Some more photos of the view.
Like usual, i do have things to day but i just can't recall. At this moment thought i hv to get back to my reading for tomorrow's class!Which reminds me...classes will be starting tomorrow...for every single day till friday...from 630PM till 1030PM...i'll be dead tired i think by Wednesday!
Thursday, March 08, 2007 10:06 PM
The schedule for this week is really busy...busy and busy. I finally got home early after finishing late at school for the past 3 dyas. It is finally taking a toll on me. I'm tired....really tired. But nothing is done yet. I better type this out quick because i have to do my research for the CCM project. I'm meeting my group mates for our presentation discussion this Saturday. My new team mates i think are thankfully ok. They are witty. Not sure if they are committed but i would like to think that they are.
And yeah...i did spot a Wentworth Miller look alike...twice! Haha. He's really tall and have those intense pair of eyes....he looks eurasian...prolly a mix of so many blood that he look so good!

I just want to scream right now! It's really frustrating to see Liverpool lost at stoppage time! Bloody O'Shea! I really thought they could hold it up...afterall they did so for 92 minutes! They had more than 15 shots at goal compared to United's shameful 4 and they had so many corner kicks, none of them converted to a goal! None of their set pieces were helpful either. I still feel metals and chains tied around my heart, weighing me down at every word i type. It's just so disheartening.
No matter what, Liverpool vs Manchester United will always be the Premiership's biggest clash -with all due respect to Arsenal and Chelsea and, also not forgetting Everton and Manchester City of course. The point is, these two clubs are just massive football enemies!
What is more disheartening is the fact that Liverpool has never lost in Anfield this season until today and Benitez has yet to win against Manchester United since his takeover!
What more can i say???
Well i could add that I "will never walk alone" when it comes to clashes as big as these. When it's against Chelsea, United's fans will come to me and say "I'll be a Red fan for tonight" and when it's against United, Chelsea fans will come to me and say "Ill be a Red fan for tonight". Uurghh! This is just so frustrating.
United was celebrating on the sacred Anfield ground! This shouldn't be happening! This just shouldn't happen!!!!!
Manchester has done little to deserve this win...i know i couldn't stop babbling but all the Liverpool fan will agree with me! Liverpool was attacking 85% of the time! It's devastating to see them crumble after so much domination. Even Ronaldo's lethal moves create only shocks for at least only 4 times in the whole game. Their strikers were non-existent...our strikers were up and running. Bellamy, Kuyt, Gerrard, Riise, Alonso, Gonzalez and even Agger were all working hard. So much effort and hard work just crumbling right under their noses...at home.
This is just terribly unfair!!!

Things took a surprising turn in between 520PM to 615PM today at work. I was chatting via email with Gabe and it was such a stress reliever. For once we didnt discuss work and it was good he brought the age subject because i was kind dying to ask him how old he is. We chatted about where i'm doing my part time studies, his plans of going to SIM soon and how he was planing to go to St James after work. It all started when he asked me about a work issue which i'm supposed to get back to him with. I had lots of things to do (as my buddy has been on MC for two days and i have to take care of her portfolio) so it was impossible for me to follow up on every single issue. I have my own RMs to take care of too. So i told him to please spare me because i couldn't cope with everything and then he was telling me how a "poor thing" i am and then it just escalades from there.
In the end we both concluded that we can just chat each other up to relief our stress at work and he can be the brother i never had and i can be the sister that he would like to have.
At this moment i'm having asthma again and my rashes are slowly disappearing. Alhamdullilah. My asthma...i thin is due to my flu and my cough. I feel like phlegm are sitting on my throat and it's blocking my windpipes causing me to have shorten breath usually in the morning and at night at a time like this.
I have my dental appointment tomorrow and will be dropping by at work to hand over some stuff back to my buddy. i don't want to do it on Monday coz it will be bloody busy for her and for me. Since she's on duty tomorrow i though i;l drop by to hand over some important things to her. I couldn't handle her EQ anymore!

I'm really really sick at the moment and am trying to keep things strong on my side. Trying to remain positive and praying a lot.
It all started with my right eye. It was quite swollen on Monday especially my eyelid. So i went to the doctor (and also to work) and he told me that just below the eyelid, it looks like a pus is growing. It was pretty normal for me coz i get that a lot when i was in secondary school. So he gave me some eyedrops and some pills to eat and told me to go home and rest for 2 days. I went home and the first day was normal although i roughly remember that i was scratching my arm at certain times at night.
The next day, at about 12PM, my mum told me that my face was red. I have rashes on my arms too. So i thought maybe it was the pills. I stopped taking them but the rashes kept on coming and by night i had a slight fever. The rashes were really itchy!
The on Wednesday, i went to work but had to take half day leave coz i was scratching mad. Made an appointment with my family doctor and she was quite shock at the state of my rashes. Gave me a jab which she said will make me sleepy. She also said that if it get worse, i will need to go to the A&E immediately and should not wait. I went home and tried to sleep but it was useless coz the itchiness kept me awake.
It subsided for a while but the rashes comes and goes which is really really annoying.I didn't sleep well last night because the itchiness just wouldn't let me. I was uncomfrtable 80% of teh night, it was horrible.
At this moment, i have runy nose and asthma and i'm not sure if it's due to the rashes. I hope not.
For now i really need to do my MC assignment which is due latest by this Saturday but i'm aiming to email it to him by tomorrow night...wish me luck!!!
