An essay with less than 4000 wors is suddenly daunting and I really don't know what I should write about. I still have no idea what I want so whar is there to write?
So has anyone watched Singapore Dreaming? It's quite a sad tale about the dreams of a Singaporean? I realise how greedy we can be. We are never satisfied with what we already have and we just refuse to make do with what we have. We want the condo, the car, the credit card, the country club and the cash.
So PLEASE!! How can any sane Singaporean would want to live here? It's so damn competitive and suddenly a bloody degree is not enough!

I was tired and feeling really sleep. So last night I was in bed by 10PM and just now I had a nap for about 2hours (not exactly a nap huh?) and I didn't even toss or turn. I was that tired and now my eyes are doing that thing again where they give away to the tons of bricks that are pulling my eyelid and forcing them to shut.
I have no idea where all these tiredness comes from and I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep.
Tomorrow is Sunday and I ain't going out. I just wanna stay at home and slack it.

So what do you do when you're feeling uninspired, lonely and just...lost? It's like I want to do something but I just don't know what. So what I did was to watch Hancock online because there's just nothing to do at the moment. I wanted to write back to Rachel but my head and my hand just refuse to co-operate with me.
So if there's anyone out there who can give me a fresh new breath of life...i say BRING IT ON!!!
Coz I'm tired of this thought that keeps running through my head.
"Why is this happening?"
"What should I do to change it?"
"What should I do next?"
Blah blah blah, yadda-yadda-yadda...and the list goes on. I feel like I need something new in my life and I am searching for it. If it can just drop from the sky...I'll be the happiest since I am not too sure when.

Marina and I finally met up last night, a few hours before her night shift at the airport. We decided on Kopitiam but ended up at Popeye's and I missed their delicious whipped potato.
We talked and laughed and most of the time just trying to catch up. We talked about our future plans and how we are going to achieve it. Usually, talking to her makes me think more about the future and what I should do now to get there. It's scary how our thinking is now towards the future and not what is hapening now. There's so many things to think about...its so adult!
She then surprised me with a gift when I came back from the ladies. She placed it on my chair and we laughed at how simple gestures can make anyone's day.
I'm so glad we kept in touch after all these years.

I am not remotely sure why I am writing about this but the subject suddenly popped into my mind when I was trying to sleep last night. I realize that during certain parts or stages of my life I was infatuated with a certain Chinese guy…yes, even all the way back in primary school!
Primary School:
His name is Michael Koh Kuan Hua. I am not sure if that is how his name was spelt and quite unbelievably, I remembered his full name. However I couldn’t remember till what level were we classmates for. It was probably until Primary 4. I remember him as someone taller than me. Just thinking about this gives me this warm tingling feeling in my stomach and spine. He’s cute and…well that’s it. I don’t really remember much. But I do remember this one detail where he accidentally cut my finger back in Primary 2. If you are born in the same era as me, you probably still remember how we used to use mahjong papers to write a composition as a group. So that piece of bloody big paper was on top of my hands and Michael took a pair of scissors to cut the paper and then suddenly I was screaming and my finger bloody. It was scary!
Secondary School:
His name is Stanley and I can’t remember his full name! I was in Secondary 3 He is very good looking. Back then he was skinny and tall and he has a girlfriend! But I don’t care. Teenage hormones tend to do something funny to someone’s emotion stability so I figured what the hell…so what if he has a girlfriend. And not only that, he plans to marry her. But I remembered that it (the infatuation) lasted for only a short while. Turns out that he went to Singapore Poly thereafter, although a year later than me coz he had to repeat Sec 3. Not only that; his girlfriend was in the same faculty as me and was classmates with my BD mates. Like how entangled is that?
Polytechnic:
I don’t think I was infatuated with a Chinese guy….not even Terence…or Ben. Ok let’s skip this stage.
If you had been following my entries you might have heard of Gabriel Wang, Bryan Lee and Joseph Tan. I wonder how Gabe is doing…I don’t even know how that awesome conservationist looks like. All I know that he made my heart flutter and his voice soothed my ears. He was endearing and he was a colleague.
Seriously, you spend at least half your adult life at work and there’s just no other place on Earth where you can meet and get to know people.
There won’t be any “So the point is…” in this entry because it’s just random and my mind was reeling on what to write on when the subject popped into my mind.

My room still smells like Ikea! I have a new computer table, a new wardrobe like thingy (i really dunno what it is called) and a new clothes rack PLUS Effa bought a new pink chair that goes with everything else! On Saturday night, we had a DIY frenzy in the livin room and it was fun until we all were tired and it wasn't fun anymore. The screwdriving part just drove me nuts!

So...why does everyone have to leave?
Why is it when I thought I have a special connection with someone I was wrong about it?
My frog prince is now gone and there is nothing else to look forward to at work. We said goodbye and I have never heard him called out my name so many times in one day.
I'll definitely will miss him as much as he will miss me (so he says).

Hmmm...the last time I wrote was a week ago and the truth is, there is really nothing to write about. Everytime I want to come up with something and finally thought I got it, I just dumped the ideas into the bin becuase it's realy not wroth writing about.
On the eve of National Day I went out with a few of my friends. And before I met up with them I just got a few hours to think about what has been happening since I last saw all of them. I started to realise that most of us are in banks right now. RBC, POSB, DBS, HSBC, OCBC...and the list goes on. Ben is in Kim Eng and Terence is back for the summer and is working part time at HSBC. Kian Seng and Zhihan are doing part time relief teaching as well as studying (not sure full time or part time). When I looked back at all those times when we were foling around, being students and just have not all the worry in the world, I smile and thought that if you would have asked me if this night will happen, I might just say no. But it happened and it was fun.
I have some pictures and the ladies have not sent me any of theirs.

Today was my first NATAS fair...I finally booked my end of year vacation! Effa and I decided on 11 days Cairo & Istanbul. We finally did it! Money is going to be a problem and I think I should start saving a lot instead of a little. I have to plan a budget and I know Yanping said I shouldn't do this but I am going to keeo my crdit card away until November. I can't afford to have the convenience of whipping it out to pay for something everytime I go out.
Anyway Nurul dropped by and we took some pics. She shared with us her experience in Cairo and Istanbul and she even showed us some personal pic taken during her trip. She's a cool gal.
1:19 AM
It was a regular and normal night but we were all there to just hang out, eat and chill...and gossip, laugh and talk.
I arrived late...very late and as soon as I walked past the entrance gate, I got a called Jefferson. "Adik, dimana kamu?" I explained the whole story about why I was late and told him that I will be there in one minute.
As soon as I got there the fist person I asked for was him. It was nice to see the people that you have not seen for a very very long time...
Jefferson and me
Siti and me
Joan and me
Gwang Kee, me and Joan
Siti, Joan and me
Stranger and me
It was a fun filled night with lots of food and laughter...my stomach hurts now and I should go to sleep. Good nites!!!
