92 - 86 days... Life is Great!

Life is great! Especially when you get free meals, free drinks and lots of companionship all week round. I would say that this had been a great week.. if only this would continued..

Monday (1st Oct) - Nothing much happened at work.. emm.. just that I wanna work OT but have some outdated mails to post so emm, have to go down to Singapore Post Centre at Paya Lebar. I was expecting a long queue since it was the start of the month.. those people who like the personal touch thing.. will go and pay their bills by cash.. emm, with all the technology and IT age thing.. why can't people go by GIRO or pay online or some other queueless method.. I wonder when is this going to end.. anyway, took me 40 mins to get to my turn, it doesn't help when there is only 2 counters serving, 1 with a new staff.. Got home at about 7:30 pm, have dinner and nothing much to do (I going in camp soon.. so no mood to do anything..) so decided to call the SDU ger.. Emm when she picked up the call, I tried to use my cold calling method to talk to her, see if she say "sorry I dun want or I dun need". hahah but think she got problem digesting what I say until I mentioned about SDU. That must had triggered her mind.. then we started talking or rather i am doing most of the talking.. the conversation went well lor, lots of giggles and laughter emm, but it seems like she is the submissive type which emm, may not really suits me.. anyway, see how it goes. I did not call ZHU as I dun wanna have the feeling that I am doing a 2 timer thing..

Tuesday (2nd Oct) - Same thing at office, struggling to finish the stupid blue file things.. doesn't help when I am having bad stomache.. but emm, I am not going to take MC, trying to establish a personal best record for no of days without taking medical leave... Ivan from RT arranged for a dinner at Paramount this evening and was looking forward to it.. try to make the date go by real fast but having extended breakfast, lunch and teabreak.. soon it was end of the workday and time for the dinner... I was told we are going for a ala-carte buffet which emm, based on my stomach condition may not be so good of an idea but emm, I dun care as long as I got companionship... I reach Parkway and manage to find my way to Paramount, I think the last time I went there was about 10 yrs or more ago... the building is made up of 2 sections, one side is the shopping centre and the other the hotel.. as there was no seats at the hotel lobby (the seats was actually quite near to the cafeteria so dun wanna end up spending $$ on coffee). I went into the shopping centre and behold what caught my eyes, sweet things was moving around the area, all skimpy dressed.. oh my I am going to get a nose bleed. I looked around and found out that there was 2 pubs at level 1 so from my level 2 position, I looked and scanned around the gers (mostly filipina I think).. emm, oh my.. I am getting a bit dizzy up there.. anyway, finally Ivan came along and we proceed to wait for the rest outside the restaurant.. Jerome was late and as usual David the organiser was late also.. The restaurant was actually Tung Lok the famous chinese restaurant and the food is great even for a ala-carte buffet.. After the meal, Jerome, Ivan and me decided to check out the scene as Jerome was going for a smoke.. emm, I must comment again.. nose bleed... when we came back, David told us that he had footed the bill... tried to pay him but emm, he say we can organised again and rotate between us.. emm, anyway, it was a great dinner and I enjoy the companionship from my new friends..

Wednesday (3rd Oct) - Dun recall anything significant, just that I finally got to work OT... still have to meet Mya before she fly off with her hubby to shanghai.. Called Zhu at night, she was with her friends, talke to her for a while but emm, like no topic to talk and she not like talking much.. so asked her to pass the phone to her friend's hubby and talk to him for a while mostly exchanging regards.. then pass the phone back, chat for a while more on brainless issues and wish her goodnight.. I think my work and work therapy may be working as I dun feel so heart-broken now...

Thursday/Friday (4th & 5th Oct) - These 2 days have to go down Bedok in the evening for meeting, rushing to finish off some stuff before I go for my in camp next month.. Getting a bit worried on a company project thing on cost-savings, have spoken and met up with the vendors and all seems well but emm when I discussed with the person who is supposed to be doing this project, he seems reluctant to accept the proposal.. Kind of make me worry as I had taken up quite a look of the vendors time and make them seems that their proposal is promising.. sorry guys.. Went off to the Singapore Post Centre again to send some stuff, there was no queue this time... how ironic... anyway, finish my stuff and went to Popular to buy a book.. yes, a book.. it was but Mary Bukoh (933 DJ).. her brother is working in my company.. so emm, figure that I can passed the book to him to get it signed.. a bit bo liao but... emm.. that is just some of the things you can do to divert your mind away from the less happier things..

Boss was sick on friday so was informed that the meeting with Purchasing Dept had to go on.. dunno what to prepare.. just call Bedok to prepare some documents and went down.. Was slightly late due to some last minute issues.. anyway, taking into account how these people are, I try to be very careful on how I talk but as usual, my PR skills prevails and they openly offered to help to work on this issues with us.. not too bad.. at least i got one less thing to think of.. eh, wait a minute.. ain't I suppose to find more things to keep me worried so that I dun think of the less happier things... emm.. Meet up with J.. we had mac (I realised that I had not enough money in my wallet when paying my meals.. fxxk where did all my money went?). Not to mentioned too much but we discussed on some sensitive issues and emm, I can just hop he gets over it soon..

Saturday (6th Oct) - Having a 7th month organising committee dinner this evening.. I spent the whole morning lazing around before proceeding for my Kidsread... was slightly late as I hanged out a bit too long at Singapore Pools (dun ask what I doing there... it is nothing great)... Today everyone was late for the training but surprisingly the kids was seated quietly in the room... rush to get everything done... do spelling.. some art and craft and story-telling with the other volunteers.. Was also informed by Jenny (my ex-classmate working at CDAC) that there were some hand painting thing today.. after finish the class with the first batch.. proceed to have spelling with the second batch.. after which the older kids and the other volunteers came into the room to do the hand painting thing.. the kids were supposed to hand print on a paper bag which would be used as a goody bag during the volunteers' nignt on the 27th.. anyway, all I can say is that it is a big mess... the watercolor was too dilute.. there were too many people in the room... there was no proper area identified for the bags to dry... emm, mess... Anyway, finish the stuff and it was still early so meet up with William at Clementi.. we had a good chat.. emm, I supposed on him and maybe daniel are the only person who remains in contact with me after I left the agency.. I also mentioned about the ger who left the agency... emm, I simply cannot understand why she would leave and also condemned almost all the people down there.. people that show their concern and care for her.. maybe she is just a crusader as what I used to be... I used to dun contact people from my ex-company once I left... even if they used to be on very god terms with me.. not sure if she will read this but if it is not too much of an inconvenience to you, I would like you to return me the things you still owe me... sorry if it sounds crude but emm, since you dun appreciate the concerns people show to you then I think I am better off showing my concerns for my our friends.. the dinner went off nicely.. food was not that great but emm.. a lot of jokes and laughter.. and ya.. I was the youngest among the organising committee.. most are in their 40s, 50s and some in their 60s.. but emm, I think it is a good way to hang out with your ex-colleagues and also to retain my chinese values.. thank you O.D.E for giving me a chance to get involved.. after dinner, proceed to Spencer's house to have a drink.. the guys at all there... including Mr J... he was still not himself... anyway... was real tired by then... chat and have some drinks and then proceed home to hit the sack... tired...

Sunday (7th Oct) - Not sure what I gonna do... went to the market to buy food and also to join my fellow singaporeans in their queuing exercise.. manage to do 2 sessions at the Lor Mee and Fried Carrot Cake stall... first session lasted for 30 mins and 20 mins for the other... good work guys.. let keep up the spirit of queuing and hope we make it as an offical sports in the next olypmic games.. Wanna call Zhu or the SDU ger but emm, just dunno what to say... called David, he was in JB but agreed to meet tonight for dinner... then maybe have a drink at a pub.. tried my navy pants and oh.. I think I lost a bit of weight.. or is it becos of my recent stomach problems... gonna take nap and wake up to see the F1 race... I hope Lewis Hamilton wins...
