Just some updates:

1. Met up with Pri Sch peeps for KTV and supper. This time including Meihui (my pri sch best fren whom i haven met in 11 yrs), Jinyuan (the boy I USED TO dislike) and Weiwen. KTV was good with Meihui dropping all our jaws but I enjoyed supper better. I've always preferred more interaction like catching up over a meal to KTVs when it comes to people whom you've not met for such a long time. It feels great looking at the guys mostly grown up. Speaks differently and more presentable. Now I look at Jinyuan again, really impressed. It's the kind of factor he has that attracts me. Fine young man indeed. I'm so looking forward to the Dec chalet with them!!! Lotsa catching up for the past 11 yrs!!

2. Was quite down since Sun night. Though now it seemed we've cleared the air but i seriously do hope that we'll put everything behind and never bring it up again. I really want to return to how we used to be.

3. I prolly won't leave after my contract ends. Change of plan. Boss called me in for a talk on mon. Asked me about how i'm coping with work and colleagues as well as asked if i'll be interested if they offer me a perm position. Told me to do him a favour by doing up my resume so that he can recommend me to HR. Seriously, at that moment I was really glad when he told me he heard very good feedbacks about me. It just feels good to be recognised and praised isn't it? So now I shall wait for their good news.

A random post. Went to sign the papers for the Boon Keng unit in the morning with ahboy. Then had Botak Jones for lunch before rushing home to catch how Alfred died. Haha. My daily activity every morning is to watch 3 Tvb serials.

Stayed in office till about 2am last night. But actually could go home before 1am. So why was i still in the office? We were playing games!! Haha. Was playing with Marcus while Tim was reading a book and listening to music. Poor Weilun was the only one slogging away so we waited for him. The night in the office with not alot of pple and doing our own things is actually very shiok. Of cos with fun loving pple. Saw another side of Weilun finally. I like my teammates more and more each day!

Happy Happy Jasmine!

Met up with my pri sch frens today. I cannot believe it we're still meeting up after like a good 11 yrs!! I got so excited at the thought of meeting them again. It feels so wonderful really. Seeing that everyone has grown up, guys becoming more mature, and even to the stage of getting married. This is just so amazing! Had a great time catching up with them and thinking about the past. Those fond memories....


Class of 6/1 back in 1997. Spot the suspects.
Meetup again after 11 yrs. See how all of us have changed.

The guys.
 The gals.



I guess i'm really spoilt. Can't go anywhere without a car now. Felt like crying when i took a train to BUKIT BATOK just now. Haha. Dear and mum really spoilt me.

Everything's fine now. It's back with me again! Words can't describe the happy and relieved feeling i had when i saw it. Dear said I was totally different before and after. Before i couldn't smile at all, after i was so full of energy and back to the crazy me. Hehe. Dear was totally amazed.

Oh i was finally busy last night. I feel so happy being busy at work. Busy with work that I know how to do. Learning more and more things now. Getting more and more difficult. Time passes faster and faster at work. Geting closer and closer with colleagues. Of cos, I get happier and happier! =)

Left office at 130am last night with a super bad migraine that is really making me feel very terrible. And when i came down, there it goes again. I ignored the front cabs and walked to the back despite feeling so unwell. Then the uncle infront shouted at me, 小姐，去拿钱啊? I didn't want to entertain him and walked on. He continued shouting, 'eh 小姐，去那里?要不要坐车?' Cannot stand him shouting like that anymore, I shouted back, '我去bedok north你要载meh?我不是走去后面lor!不然又给你们讲!'

Then he shouted, '都没有人了，那里可以不要载？不载要做什么？

CAN YOU ALL PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO?!!! Take the first cab, pple say. Walk to the back, pple also say. It's really !@#$%^&! Never knew taking a cab can be so frustrating. Esp at wee hrs when i'm tired and just can't wait to get home. Or when i'm feeling terrible like yesterday then people come and show pattern. ARGHHHH!!!

Anyway, my father's sister aka my godmother aka shi kang jun's mother as well as shi kang jun aka my godbro as well as godfather sold their house and amazingly bought a unit just directly opp ours. Little did we expect them to move so close to us. They're like the last person we'll think of who'll stay near us. Soooo near summore that we can communicate through the window. It's really surprising. Wonder how will it be in future.

I miss dear so much. Another 5 more days.

Meeting nice people really makes my day. Or rather my night. Just reached home from work. Just wanna blog about this nice cab driver who drove me back just now. After rantling about the irritating driver the other day, I met a really nice and courteous one today!

Once bitten twice shy. I heed my colleagues' advice and walk all the way to the last cab in line.

Me: Uncle, Bedok North Ave 4.
*looking out for face change*
Him: 你去近近所以走到后面来啊?
Half of me was thinking, huh? not another one?
Me: 对lor. 怕给人家讲.
Him: Aiyo 不会啦! 那些人hor, 为什么这样的. 应该是那些老的才会这样啦. 都一样可以载吗.
Me: *feeling more consoled at least not every driver is liddat* 对lor对Lor. 那天我才碰到一个讲我为什么没有去远远.
Him: *laughs as if he felt they were ridiculous too*
Reach liao.
Me: 谢谢uncle.
Him: in a very polite tone, 不用不用.
Me: uncle 你的人很好.
Him (very humbly): aiyo 不要这样讲.
The whole time he was talking so politely! Nice people/drivers still exist afterall. =)

Went for my second session of accupuncture for my foot yesterday. It's really painful la. Poke in needle already still twist twist turn turn. 要我的命啊！Anyway, they suggested i go for some blood test and xray to ensure i don't have any serious problems. It's funny how come the lady doc kept asking me to seek western doc's opinion. Doesn't she want business? Wonders.

Another thing I'm quite pissed about. I've always been joking about how taxi driver's face changed when they heard, 'uncle, bedok north ave 4'. Yes, my office's at Tampines and I live in Bedok. It takes only less than 10 mins for me to get home and including midnight charge it hardly hits $8. So that would mean there's no incentive for them to take me home as compared to my colleagues who lives in Clementi and Jurong East (that's madness to travel all the way here. haha.). And so far i've not really experienced any face changed driver until last night. Yesterday was the first time i stayed really late in the office ever since i started cos it's month end and there's alot of things to clear. I left the office at around 2.30am with 2 other colleagues. So we each took a cab among the many cabs that were queueing there diligently every night waiting for us. My 2 other colleagues took the first 2 while i took the 3rd.

When I got up, 'uncle, bedok north ave 4'. HIS FACE REALLY CHANGED and he started his pattern.

Irritating driver: 'eh, 做么没有去远远啊？
Of cos, given the easily provoked jasmine ESP at a time when I badly wanted to go home and sleep, blood was beginning to boil. I ignored him.
Then he went on, 'eh 前面那两个会去很远吗？
*starting to fume but still keeping quiet*
Irritating driver: 'har? har? 她们会去很远吗？
ARGH! Then I said cos he simply wun stop asking, '不知道!!'
Irritating driver: '你们不是同事meh?为什么会不知道她们住哪里?'
Me: !!!!!!!!!
Him (still didn't stop at that): '你们office还有人吗?'
Me: 有。(in a pek chek tone)
Him: 会多吗？有没有二，三十个?
Me: *super pek chek already* 你要做什么？
Him: 我想要回去排吗。
Me: THEN 就去LOR!!! (pek chek max already)

I just don't understand how come there are people who cannot sense angriness in someone and shut his gap immediately. ARGHHHH.
Then when I gave him directions and he knew I was reaching, HE DELIBERATELY SLOWED DOWN THE CAR!! It's damn obvious la!!!! There's nobody, no cars, and yet there's a significant slow down in his speed when there's about 100m left. Nvm. When i finally reached, you should just see the way he SLOWLY switched on the light, took his own sweet time touch here touch there first den reluctantly stop the meter.

!@#$%^&&*(*&^%$#@ Really very angry leh!!!
