Chanced upon Stella's (aka Jeremie's gf) blog from the link on Jer's photos. (For those who doesnt knows who Jer is, he's my ex bf back in 1997 & 1999) Seriously i always thought she's arrogant and not easy to get along kind of girl since i met her on Jer's sis wedding a year odd back. And sometimes even worried if he's doing well in this relationship. Nonetheless, i do see a big change in him as compared to the him before. Not that our relationship was bad, in fact till now, our relationship was the only one that i had where there is completely no quarrel in two years, given the fact that we meet EVERYDAY! No doubt there after things got a change and we broke up eventually. Still, this close to 4yrs of relationship would never be forgotten.

There is this post Stella put up yesterday, that makes me see her differently, and to "be at ease" after reading it, knowing he is happy with who he's with, and being treated well and vice versa. And really. She's worth the envy cos Jer got the best family i ever met. Best parents, best sisters, best in-laws, best uncles and aunties. Its was them who made me what i am today, esp. his mum who dressed me up, doll me, further educate me, enrolling me into Shatec, paying for my school fees and ended me in this job im in now that had changed me entirely. I was just like her daughter. And im really thankful for everything to-date, though its all in the past. And this is why i still holds close contacts with them because without them, there wont be me.

Couldnt believe it. I actually tagged on her board. Which part of me was afraid to see her reply after her knowing its me, which she obviously would know who i am. She was apparently having an arguement with someone who i saw as childish, and i merely wrote her some words cos her post touches me. I wont paste it up here, but its rather about the trust and love she and Jer shares and it just lets me feel happy for them. I always thought this is really important in all relationship, easy said but not easy achieved. But im glad they did it.

Her reply:
stella - XD:
what you said was very touching. thou u din name who u r but i guess you've really seen jer change. whoever it is i still thank u for your supportive words. Well, appreciated

stella:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
stella:
i'm tinking probably only your name starts with X. heard alot abt u frm jer's mum. very nice girl.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And i actually added her in FB? omg. I know, Jer might be thinking "THIS IS CRAZY!"
I really miss them alot.. And i hope, to visit them real soon, esp. to see Jer's sis newborn. :)

Soon to be back to work in a few hours time. If only time could pass a little slower...
Had been checking out netbooks with Fred, although we had decided which one to get already.




Well, this is the baby. After much consideration, i would either get the black or the white one. Cos the pink is not really the pink i like. Plan is to get on Mar's IT fair, which we could get from Fred's friend. But we wonder how much is the bonus? Plus my main concern is how to sell away my current lappy.

Anyways, i had appointed a FOC finance controller today cos i was being told i spend too much. Im sure he will do a good job to oversee my finance. Haha!
Thank you in advance~ :)

Only one night shift this time around. Will be off tomorrow and day after. Had a really long sleep from about 10pm to 2pm today. :)

Still, im starting to feel a little sleepy now.

Have agreed to breakfast with colleague after work. Craving for egg and toast breakfast, which we've planned to have at vivo's toast box. And im also looking forward to lunch/dinner later with monster. Katong LAKSA!! and of course KOI cafe bubble tea on the way! Its just another "craving for laksa" day for us. :)

im getting to see so many ugly sides of people. And realised, this world is so scary.

People who shoots words without thinking of others feelings. Who threw tantrums/attitudes at people for unknown reasons. People who put blames on others, cook up stories to be an angel and makes others the devil. And MORE! The list will go on and on. Whats wrong?? im really puzzled.

Service industries especially. People always have to put up a fake smile, be nice and the moment customers/guests' back turn! What?
Ive seen it for myself, or even been one myself at times. A guest walks past, smile, greet. And once the guest past, we talk bad, we roll eyes. I often pays attention to other colleagues who meets guest, be it in-hse or site inspection guest. They chat, laughs like they're some old friends for years. Once back is turned, again, immediate facial expression change. Not even a smile or whatsoever.

How often are we sincerely speaking and acting? How often are we being nice straight from the heart? I dont know about others. But ive always been doing this self reflection. God had created humans with different personalities, characters. But its you yourself, who could make a difference, a change.

Yesterday, a guest came and requested for late check out. And one thing i couldnt uderstand till now in my 6yrs in hotel industry is, how could some people be so "no-shame" to ask for free this and that, and gave this "i ask, you MUST give" kind of attitude. Asked for late check out till 430pm cos "son needs to sleep from 2-4pm"?? My colleague was nice enough to extend a 2hours LCO till 2pm for them. The guest literally stood there and argued for a good 15-20minutes, repeating again and again her son dont sleep before 2pm and wont wake up before 4pm. They are actually expatriates staying in Singapore! If it true that your son have to sleep at 2, why cant you check out at 12 and bring your son home to sleep? She then used "spa appointment" that coincidently ends at 4 to check out at the same requested time. When declined, she threatened to cancel spa appointment. When i asked if she wants me to call spa for her to cancel now rather than cancel tomorrow and got imposed cancellation fee, she stumbled and reject. Nonetheless, i gave spa a call and got to know, she did not have a appointment booked at all! Today, when we were all certain she will not check out even at the extended check out time of 3pm, she leaves before 1pm. This, however made me smile. For a reason, i could get the room ready for the next arrival/guest. And another, though she acted that way the night before, but she had given a step in by perhaps understanding our position.

In life, there always had to be one who gives, and one who take. I really hope everyone could be in harmony. Cos im sick of these giving faces, attitudes kind of things among friends/colleagues. Afterall, we aint kids anymore.

Alright. i've finally changed my templete.
Does this looks better monster? :)
But i think the words are too small. And maybe no one would understand the navigate next page. Its to type "her","tag","exits", "past","wants" and scroll down.

There are actually alot blogskins that i fancied. But many were either error on the templete or too pink or just didnt turn out as nice as it looked.

Off yesterday, today and tomorrow. I seriously looks forward to a getaway. And its been sometime since my last trip to Bangkok. So yeah. Bangkok is where im looking forward to get to. Perhaps within the next few months or so. Everyone was quite demoralised by the fact of not having bonus at our expected pay day. Rumours then spread that its due to be out last month, which again wasnt. Last week, people spread that asst. finance controller spread words that bonus is confirmed but dont know how many months we're getting. And today, Fred smsed and said its being announced but again, dont know how many months. I guess we shall just wait and see la.

Tired already @ 8pm?

Had a good Friday 13. :)
Heartful breakfast with monster after a "diet" day the day before. Well, not a intentionally diet. Its just, by the time i woke up, breakfast and lunch is over. When i wanna have dinner, i got to leave for work. And when i thought i could have supper at work, was so busy till supper is over. Anyways, its been long since i had half-boiled egg with toast, together with a hot milo for breakfast. Its just what i had today! Lunch was at our long-wanted-to-try duck meat in Katong. And our all time fav. KOI cafe bubble tea in Parkway. See! I made up to the lost i had yesterday. :)

And we've also finally gotten our moshi pouch. I still settled with the pink one to go with my phone. And his, brown, which i thinks looks much better than the black one he lost.

The only bad bad thing was.. im ultra sleepy now cos i only slept like.. 2hours after my night shift. Coffee and Redbull doesnt seems to work on me! I hope time pass sooon.

Next up. I realllly realllly wanna get a new lappy. Fred showed me one which he's interested in getting and i got tempted? Ha.. It looks the same as the Acer i originally wanna get. But now this looks not bad too!

Last but not least, Happy Valentine's to all my love ones, especially to my bestie, Ebel, Monster Fred and Mr Ng. BIG BIG kissss!

I admit im super slack nowadays. Hadnt been online even when i have the time.

Had another impromptu party till dawn yesterday. Got home at 5 this morning. Was meant to be a colleague's farewell, who's due to leave singapore in a week or so. But attention wasnt really on him. Still, had fun when the right person was there. Down with another eye infection. Eye is still red till now. It was a rare day where we had lots of us having the same off day together. Had plans for picnic but expected, not all who agreed to come came, given the fact that all had too much to drink the night before. The planned picnic turned out to be touring the island, which we've done umpteen times already. Got two luge rides, went images of sg and lots of casual roaming around. Tried out the new ride at Cineblast called Desprados (dont understand why?), which is opened for island staff to try. Fun but short ride. There's this moving "horse" which you need to sit on, and attached to it was a gun, where everyone will compete to shoot the "baddies" on the screen. Everyone was betting i'll be last. But i got 2nd place out of about 10 players? Try it if you could but guess tix is quite ex.

Random pics on the cam.
The wishing tree, which we all wrote our wishes on too


And the "leftover" from the Sentosa Flower, which i missed again this year.
