Until you lose what you had won
(Jet-Look What You've Done)

Felt really pissed off yesterday... haven't felt this way in a long time... It was all like a beautiful soap opera... with me being the jackass of course... But before i continue... i'd better intro u to the cast... Nicole is my ex-manager but now takes care of Fullerton and Paragon outlets... Florence is my current manager at Atrium outlet... Anthony is my supervisor... Jon is my buddy/colleague... Betty is the operations manager... Joe is the supervisor at One Fullerton... and lastly there's me... so let's get started then! NO TIME TO WASTE! PICK UP THE PACE! *nobody understands*

I had arrived at Baker's Inn@One Fullerton to do my shift... Nicole had called me over as a favour coz she din have enuff staff so i decided to help her since she's a nice manager and all... i usually do bar anywayz so i dun mind coming here... when i reached there... i looked round... but nicole wuz nowhere to be found... nevermind... it's cool it's cool... walked in to talk to Joe... my 1st time speakin wif her actually...

Joe: I gif u a punchcard 1st... u go change then later come back and i'll tell u which station u'll be workin tonite.

At that point i wuz like thinkin... station? din i come here to do barrista? but its cool its cool... no problems... went to the toilet... got changed and returned... and tats where it all started...

Joe: ermmm... can u work here tomolo evening?

Me: oh sorry i can't... i'm workin at atrium tomolo evening...

Joe: oh its ok... they already found u a replacement to work there... so can u come here instead?

wat..... *pause* *searchin for answers in my head*..... at tat point... i wuz really like... wat....??? replacement? i din even tell them to find me one... was it like i couldn't come to work at all? did i even call u to tell u i couldn't come? but wait… juz wait a damn minute… nobody even bothered to call and let me know… let alone ask… I dun mind working at fullerton dun get me wrong… but atrium is my “home”… am I not wanted?

Me: found me a replacement? ermmm… alrite… but nobody informed me abt it…

Joe: oh……? ermmm… I dun know… betty called to tell me tat u work here tomolo…

ahhhh betty… it cud only be u betty… only u cud have resorted to these underhand methods… at this moment I was simmering… not yet boiling… nobody even had the decency to ask me whether it’d be alrite if I worked at fullerton the next day… they all juz assumed… makin an ASS out of U and ME… if one of u atrium pple had at least asked me nicely… of course I nice young boy wud have said ok since they need help… but u assholes didn’t… I really felt like playin truant… juz dun come for the shift at all… show them tat I not small boy good to eat… I wud really take them go fly kite… but tats not professional… not professional at all… but wait… looks who’s bein pro now… all of u are pros… real “pros”…

Me: I guess since I’m not wanted there tomolo then its alrite tat I work here tomolo then…

Joe: ohz… okok… thanx…

started work wif an attitude… I somewat cuden be bothered… I din talk to nobody… anti-social jon reared its ugly head… takin orders… can I have a orang~~~… wat u order? Say louder… *stunned*… orange juice pls… ah beng at his best… I need the money… I’m wat my buddy jon calls a shift-whore… I cuden take it… I had to go to the toilet again… msged jon to vent my frustrations out… they already do this to my buddy b4 I not happy… now they doin the same thing to me… they really shuden mess wif jons ya know… we can juz snap at any moment… we’re humans too and we have feelingz too DAMMIT! doused myself wif cold water… cooled down slightly already… but was still warm… thoughts kept running thru my head… did Florence have a part to play in this? I wonder… she’s always under betty’s spell… betty say jump… u dun ask how high… betty juz change shift for me without even askin… nobody do nothing… is tat the case… but wait… maybe she din know anything… she was off yesterday… she usually takes off on Tuesday… soooo… cud it be Anthony then? did u have a part to play in this? if u did… u jolly well shud have called… u know tat… did u know nothing abt this? For ur sake I hope u didn’t… I feel like a ragged doll… passed on from outlet to outlet to help… I think I’m like the only idiot who’s done every single outlet in Singapore b4… even the old Merchant Square outlet tat has since closed down… well… it’s been more than 2 yrs… exactly… it’s been more than 2 yrs and u all still treat me like tat? Dun I mean shit to u? respect? wat respect? we have none for u jon… fark u… if u have none for me then I ain’t got none for u… Baker’s Inn@Atrium is not wat it used to be no more… everything now’s so corporate… the family feeling is gone… part-timers leaving… new memos and rules coming from upper management… now it’s all abt the money… for me… and for u… u corporate farkers… I need to cool down… I need to get myself back to working condition… I need to leave this job… enuff ah... i said enuff liaoz ahhh... last chance ahhh… I’m warning u for the last time ok… this is ur final warning… no more chance… where did tat come from? *nobody understands*

Last chance honey
Last chance honey
This is your last chance honey

On a very much lighter and sweeter note… when I wuz done wif work… I wuz supposed to go meet jon at parklane to borrow money from him so tat I cud have a small dinner n take a train home… I like only had 80 cents wif me and tat wuden get me far… BUT THEN… who else wuz there to gif me a pleasant surprise but my gal risa… I had called her earlier in the evening to like sorta vent my frustrations… but least I expected her to surprise me after work… so late already u still come down here… dun u hafta work tomolo? but wait… wat wuz in ur hand? oh my! Mcdonalds! wat??? lemon tea?!… *rub eyes*… a sandwich too???!!! the burger’s for my dinner and the sandwich for breakfast… wahhh… I know I told u I dun have money but I wasn’t prepared for this… and u had to make the nite even better when u sent me home… wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh… cannot like this… I’ll up u back… but all in all… thank u… the day wuz real crappy till u came along… it wuz really a pleasant surprise and it made the “blackout day” bright in the end wif juz ur presence alone… where else can I find galz like u? hahaz… juz kiddin… see ya Thursday… can’t wait… *nobody understands*

There is love of course. And then there's life, its enemy

I think i know what you're about to say,
I can see it in your eyes and on your face.
We swore we never would, so while the words are still unspoken,
don't you think you should take a breath, take a moment, take your time before you lie.
Cos once you do, love is different. Everything changes between you and I.
It's up to you. This can go either way. You get to choose which road we take cos it only takes a half a truth to throw it all away.

So you face yesterday thinking on the days of the old and the price that we paid for a love we couldn't hold. I let you slip away, there was nothing I could do.That was so long ago. It's so hard to find your way when the lies come around. Still it happens every day, so don't let it get you down.

Just a time within a time, just a scheme within a scheme, a little world within a world,
or is a dream just a dream? Before the night turns blue, now I say goodbye to you.

Woman

Dear listeners...Many apologies for the delay...go blame YOU-KNOW-WHO.

If I be so inclined to climb up beside you,
Would you tell me that the time just isnt right?
And if I ever find the key you hide so well,
Will you tell me that I can spend the night?

Leavin your smell on my coat, leavin your taste on my shoulder.
I still fail to understand what it is about this woman.

If I could bottle up the chills that you give me
I would keep them in a jar next to my bed.
And If I should ever draw a picture of a woman
It is you that would come flowing from my pen.

Oh Sunday... where have u gone...

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
(Linkin Park-Breaking The Habit)
*nobody understands*

met up wif risa yesterday... it's been a long time since i last spent a day wif her... time is rather tight these dayz coz got a lot of things to juggle... met her at ang mo kio for lunch b4 we headed down to EXPO to walk walk... whenever i come back from work i always see a lot of crowd get on and alight at EXPO station so i typical singaporean kapo kapo go look see lahz... apparently there wuz a "made in Indonesia" exhibition... a car show... and a john little warehouse sale... nothing really interestin actually... wanted to go check out the cars like the ah beng i wuz... but then realised had to pay 10 bucks to enter the show... wahhh... the cheapskate showed his class man... we U-turned and decided to head home to slackz... money wuz real tight lahz... cannot blame... *nobody understands*

met lyd later on for a drink along wif her sis and others... nice to see lyd's doin fine and all... her sis wanted to discuss wif us a job opportunity... in other words... a chance to earn more side cash... of course i jump at the opportunity lahz... already times now so bad... hafta make a livin mahz... its good money considerin abt the things we hafta do... chatted for awhile b4 gettin some dinner and then sendin risa home... had a wonderful time wif her once again... but then again... there's always nv enuff time in a day... oh well... the week starts again wif work in the mornin... back to the mundane life... OH PLS SOMEBODY SAVE ME! *nobody understands*

Spectacular Spectacular!

Oh god...what's becoming of the euro playoffs lately? Teams fancy winning on penalties... Where's the skill, vigilance, anger and frustration? Czech's on a winning streak...the 3-goal victory landed them straight into the semis....knew they had a thing or two...but one thing's for sure...Portugal AIN'T gona be taking Euro home this year...Haha. Mark Greece or Czech.

Saturday has been one of the most incredible nights ever since school ended. Was under the company of my dearest Joanna with Jolyn and her dad at the Moscow. What a stunning performance...Those cute male acrobats in the flying trapeze... Boy were they flirting with the audience...Poor Jolyn was anticipating to see some animals but baby, Singapore only allows dogs and horses...go blame the authorities. Bought her Singapore's most expensive and gigantic blue balloon...freakin' 15 bucks boy! Met the stars...Jo couldn't stop drooling at Zoe...(she's gona kill me for this)...Saw an imitation Jamie...The beautiful Amy Cheng - heard that she's a single mom...good gracious...it must be hard.

Well, ever since Teng Jun's gone to Australia for training, we both gals haven't been partying much late at night...cos we're without a 'bodyguard'. I bet that my darling misses him...oh...hang in there...he'll be back for your birthday at least! Birthday celebrations will be flooding in soon...*hint hint* so...yap, it's gona be EXCITING!

We've reached the semis...

And the Czech Republic have won their match 3-0 against the Danes... once again... the Danes have failed to live up to expectations and crash out of the tournament... so the semi-finals look like this now... portugal vs holland on thurs mornin and greece vs czech on fri mornin... oh wow... my juices are juz flowing when i talk abt the 1st semi-final... it's gonna be a cracker... history shows tat in the previous few tournaments... the host nation has nv made it past the semi-finals... but then again... holland din win a penalty shootout for so long till they beat sweden... so i dun think the history books will have a part to play in this... in truth... anything can happen in this match... egos might flair and cards cud be flashed... the dutch hate losin... and this feudin team cud really take it to the hosts... but portugal are no pushovers... this is the semis and no team is here on a free pass... under the influence of scolari the portugese are a totally diff team compared to previous tournaments... they hold the ball more often now than their opponents do... but on thurs mornin... i think the dutch will be attackin more as their total football will show... but all in all... it'll look like an even match against 2 exquisite teams... my prediction... holland to score 1st... but lose the plot in the 2nd half... *nobody understands*

The muddy murphy's experience

Met wif terisa after work on friday... she'd been away in HK for quite some time and so of course it'd be natural tat we'd wanna see each other... or at least i'd wanna see her for tat matter... out from her bag came a portugal jersey... FOR ME?! wow... she knew tat i liked portugal but nv did i expect her to get me a jersey... wat timing too... portugal had juz beaten england in their previous match... went to get changed and proudly wear the jersey... oh my... i'll definately ruffle a few english feathers along the way... we made our way to esplanade for dinner b4 walkin down to fullerton for some desserts... yes... bakerz inn lahz... marlene wuz workin tat nite... wahhh... then also got catherine doin part-time... not bad... still got some familiar faces... anywayz... my gal n i... we've been together for abt a month already... evaluation: things are goin rather well... ;)... as the nite wore on she seemed rather tired... must have been coz of the travellin and jet lag and stuff... well... took her home b4 meetin up wif jon for some soccer action... where to then? pabulum? coffee shop? my place?.... "muddy murphy's then!"........ wat.....? *nobody understands*

In case some of u din know... muddy murphy's is an irish pub situated along orchard rd near orchard hotel... ya know... where most of the "high society" escorts are or the transvestites scout... anywayz... i must have been mad when i walked into the pub... for god's sake... i wuz wearin a portugal jersey... it wuz like gettin a man utd fan to sit wif the anfield crowd... had plenty of eyes lookin as i entered the pub... mostly englishmen gave me the stares... but i juz looked for the nearest possible seat and sat down... the match wuz startin soon n we din really have a good view of the screen... we got up and took 1 rite up in front of the screen... wow... wat luck... AHHH... and juz then... lez bluez started walkin in... a grp of frenchmen started to sing n cheer loudly... showin their vocal support for the french... and guess wat... they sat juz RITE in front of us... marvellous... "jon... i think we better support france..." wat? u must be jokin... i ain't gonna support these arrogant players... allay lez bluez the frenchmen wud chant... but it din really seem to work coz FRANCE weren't playin well... in fact... their whole team wuz crap... greece really showed them a thing or two abt teamwork man... it really made these frenchmen sittin in front of us real pissed... rite then... from out from nowhere came in some liverpool fans... oh my... u can juz imagine the look on jon's face when they walked in... being a liverpool fan tat he wuz... he screamed and cheered loudly for his anfield club... wow... and juz rite then... "jon... i think we can support greece now... my red army come in battle the french..." farker... u really got identity crisis... these englishmen weren't really watchin the game... they were juz sittin round the bar chattin and enjoyin their drink... until greece scored of course... wow... the place erupted man... not tat the english like the greek team or wat... but juz tat they dun like the french team... hahaz... but juz look at me... in my portugal jersey... supportin the greeks... din u forget they beat us 2-1? wow... i'm really a confused fan... no wonder jon n i are such good frenz... hahaz... *nobody understands*

Greeks Almighty

Looks like most of our hot favourites are heading for the shambles while the underdogs would be pitting their wits against the best of the best in the coming semi-finals. After Greece's sensational victory at this morning's matchup, be rest assured that you DO NOT wanna strike that team off your betting list. It's pretty evident that Greece's back with a vengeance...and boy, are they getting better match after match. Portugal, be sure to keep a lookout for Czech and Holland...they've got something great coming.

Today marks the Gala Premiere of The Great Moscow Circus...Feeling pretty excited, first time taking charge of the opening night...all the glitz and glamour, the place's gona be flooded with the media, celebrities, radio DJs, and most importantly KIDS!!! Jo's coming with meimei and Tiffany...Wow, bet it's gona be a pretty memorable and fun experience and definitely more to come.

Wild wif ecstacy

All congratulations going out to Portugal again for reaching the semi finals... it wuz real dramatic... both teams played their hearts out.. gutsy performances from 2 sets of teams lead to a great quarter-final match of the ages... eventually 1 team had to lose and it was one of the favourites England... as soon as owen scored in the 3rd min i wuz like thinkin... die... it'll take some effort from portugal to equalise coz of the english spirit... it took them till real late in the game b4 the english resistance cracked and of ALL PEOPLE... it had to be Postiga to score... my god... the spurs misfit... a failure in the premiership... a hero in portugal... wow... the pple up in north london (tottenham) must be wondering WAT THE FARKZ IS WRONG WIF THIS BLOKE?... my heart wuz really racin thruout the match man... it wuz like the portugese sent all their warships to battle wif the english but then only like 1 bloody ship had a cannon... portugal were bloody controlling the game... 65% to 35%... had like abt 27 shots on goal if i'm not wrong... but only like 5 were on target and 2 went in... come on lahz... u gotta do better than tat to win the cup... can't always be tat wasteful in front of goal... but one moment tat really touched me wuz when scolari... the brazilian-born portugese coach held both flags and placed them over his heart... and tears filled his eyes... this is wat soccer is abt man... *nobody understands*

Onto tonite's game... france against greece... it seems like a quarter-final mismatch wif the dream team versus the dreamers... initial 1st thinkin wud be... AIYAH... greece no chance lahz... wah lau... france?!... of course france win lahz... but do not write greece off juz yet... its already the quarter finals... no team got a free pass here... it all took some hard workin gettin there... although france is technically better and defendin champs... their defence doesn't seem to be as strong as b4... sure... they might be arrogant abt it and say tat... WHO CARES... their midfield and attack already makes up for wat they lack in defence... but if the gods are wif the mighty greeks... anything can happen... although i dun know the greek team well... let alone even pronounce some of their names... i still think tat they cud still provide a shock in the quarters... my prediction... greeks into the semis... either by takin it in extra time... or juz a slender win at the end of regulation time... *nobody understands*

What A Blunder!

ENGLAND! IT'S ALL OVER! WHAT THE FISH WERE YOU GUYS DOING???!!!#@!*%
As for old Unkle Sam, you were just plain lucky! You must have been sipping on Season's Ice Lemon Tea instead of Coke isn't it? Too bad you didn't place your bets on the Portugese heh...what a waste.Ha! But we have yet to outplay each other so don't get too cocky mister!=P
Dear old Rooney...if only you had stayed for second half...haiz...oh well, no point crying over spilt milk, was a game well played, least England could do was square off with the men in thick bushy eyebrows...Right now, let's just look forward to the greatest mismatch of the quarterfinals - France and Greece.

Olé

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep...

worked at baker's inn after the airport again today... damn tired... workin long hrs wuz nv my plan... but here i am... tired again... anywayz... had florence, jem, angie, joel, catherine and me... cat's this new full-timer... i worked wif her b4 when i did one day at Millenia Walk... back then she wuz still a part-timer... i guess she decided to take a plunge off the deep end and sell her soul to baker's inn... nice person and easy to talk with... i know i'm gonna hate myself when i say this... but joel's ok lahz... he's not tat bad... workin wif him wuz alrite n i guess it wuz juz a misconception when i said i din enjoy workin wif him... jem's getting better in the bar... he's forcin me out mate! but u know... u'll nv replace napolean... *nobody understands*

now onto more sensitive topics! let's talk abt soccer! tomolo will be the day... portugal versus england... host against hooligans... who will be victorius? i'm rootin for portugal man... hopefully they'll take the cup... the most underachieving nation in the history of football i think... they shud win something sometime soon... england also another underachieving nation... but as much as i love the EPL... i dun like their style of play... hardly any skill at all... it's usually the long ball... and also... i feel tat eriksson is biased... i mean... beattie was in the form of his life... he had it all... looks (my sis wud agree on this wif me)... heading... strength... good shooting skills (compared to heskey)... speed... BUT... he always nv gets his chance... even heskey is in the squad... wat the... all very controversial stuff... and tats y i'm not the england manager and juz an outsider... i like scolari... something special abt him... to him... coachin portugal is juz like coachin brazil i think... they both speak the same language n both teams got samba footballers... juz tat... in terms of skill n success... i think brazil is techinically better... hopefully he can bring some of tat magic over to portugal... but my prediction is... a draw at full-time and portugal to win on penalties... *nobody understands*

Tis Gona Be Exciting

All you Portugal fans, better put on your jerseys and please, avoid Coke.

How's It Going To Be

I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing
I wonder what are we fighting for
When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder is there anything
I'm going to miss

I wonder how it's going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be
When there's no one there to talk to
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be, How's it going to be

Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in, swings empty
Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me

I wonder how's it going to be
When it goes down
How's it going to be
When you're not around
How's it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be

And how's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
And how's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion oblivion
How's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
How's it going to be

And we all have the same things to go thru...

“Honey, I’m home!”… parents have finally come back after 2 weeks of travelling in the United States… dad had some kind of meeting there so my mom took this like immense opportunity to join him and tour ard when he wasn’t bz… met them at the airport arrival hall for a brief chat b4 helping them wif their bags… once we stepped out… who wuz there but linkin park in the flesh… din see chester though but mike looked as cool as ever… everytime any member of the band smiled… at least 1 gal went wild wif ecstasy n screamed her lungs out… wat for… only she knows… but all I know is… it WAS loud… many guyz were there too… probably wantin to get a glimpse of their punk idols… whatever it is… linkin park din stay long… as soon as they exited the arrival hall they juz made their way to their chauffeured taxi without even stopping to sign autographs or take pictures wif their fans… probably coz their bodyguards din even like let the crowd get within a foot’s distance of them… BUT OF COURSE… WE’RE STARS DAMMIT! *nobody understands*

Rushed off to Baker’s Inn rite after work… wuz doin a 7-11 shift over there… my shifts wud hafta be like tat now considering tat it’ll take me some time to get there from the airport… things feel "different" now... can't explain it... it juz... doesn't feel rite anymore... workin here used to be more than juz the money... but now... the "air" dun smell so good no more... but then again... i really need the money... my internship doesn't exactly cover my maintenance ya know... oh well... let tat be tat then... the "old" baker's inn is gone... *nobody understands*

Your Song

You left me with goodbye and open arms
A cut so deep I don't deserve
You were always invincible in my eyes
The only thing against us now is time

Could it be any harder to say goodbye & without you
Could it be any harder to watch you go, to face what's true
If only I had one more day

I lie down & blind myself with laughter
A quick fix of hope is what I'm needing
And now I wish that I could turn back the hours
But I know I just don't have the power

I'd jump at the chance
We'd drink and we'd dance
And I'd listen close to your every word,
As if its your last, I know its your last,
Cos today, oh, you're gone.

*Thanks for your concern but I'm nobody's possession*

Going once... going twice...

"ermmm miss... here rite... we got two Jon's... we got Jon Yeow and Jon Lim... which Jon u want me to gif the thing to?" she juz stared blankly at him... I MEAN MY GOODNESS! IT'S WRITTEN ON THE PLATE AIN'T IT?... it still cracks me up when i think abt it... one of the many hilarious blunders i've witnessed durin my time at baker's inn... but back to the story.....

Jon: ivan? of course i know him... he's my classmate... u're... u're his...

Lek: i'm his father! *chuckle*

wow... talk abt a small world... so for now... i'll temporarily be under ah lek's care and he'll kinda supervise me on the things he handles at CAAS... besides signages he does other stuff like events at the airport i think... juz yesterday... a few HK starz ( edison chen, anthony wong, maggie q, kenny bee, etc.) arrived from HK and he was the one who facilitated and somewat greet them... the 1st project he wanted me to handle wuz a killer... damn headache ah... go n count the no. of flow signs in the airport and colour combi them coz the management were thinkin of overhauling it and wanted to know how many there were and blah blah... watever it is... i'm gonna be ALL ARD the airport for the time being... interns always gotta start somewhere... so signs is my game for now... *nobody understands*

A lil' belated

FIRSTLY, jon, i just realised that your blogs are ALWAYS that long-winded! Is there really so much to say and so many grievances to pour? Hiaz...we can't even have a proper conversation when we're out...So i guess you and i should blog more often..perhaps it's a better tool when we communicate, rite? Finally, clubbing nites have ended (this prophecy MAY not be true for my blogmate though), shopping has ceased for the meantime, coffee sessions at Starbucks have become coffee sessions at the workplace,no more gossip, just sweet-talk with your dearie after a hard day's work and before you know it, it's time to hit the showers again. BUT most importantly, before leaving for work, you should ALWAYS REMEMBER to water your plants...what's the point of doing it in the night? People who don't understand botanics...hiahz...just imagine being dehydrated for the entire day, under the blazing sun, till your daddy comes home, "Son, Evian for you?"

The long-winded internship story

Started my 1st day of work with CAAS today... i wud say tat it wuz a rather "interesting" day... came to the airport at 8.30am today... as usual... i din know where to go because my supervisor din inform me on where to report or anything... so basically... i knew squat... found out that the supervisor wuz on leave and tat he wuz very busy wif a lot of things prior to me startin my internship... talk abt bad timing yah... in any case... followed rachael and the rest to some sort of meeting room at Terminal 2 to be briefed on our job scope and stuff... wahhh... thankfully got rachael... if not... surely wun know a damn thing when come to the airport... think i'd probably have gone home coz nobody at the airport management department wuz returnin my calls... anywayz... things turned out fine at that point... finished our briefing at 10 b4 our respective supervisors whisked us away to our different departments... my supervisor... Mr Abbas... ( he's the assistant manager of terminal operations by the way... ) wuz in some sort of meeting and so the woman who collected me from Terminal 2 to shepard me back to Terminal 1 told me to wait in this empty office cubicle for him to return... i wuz there... i waited... n waited... n waited... fell asleep... woke up... BASKET! already 12.30... he's still not back yet... by tat time my arse and arms developed cramps already... waited a few more minutes b4 he finally appeared... better late than never yeah? quite a friendly chap... easy to talk to and rather accommodating... he kinda briefed me on wat i wud be doin here... my workin hrs... blah blah blah... i kinda switched off coz wuz rather dazed after wakin up mahz... OH! but i know tat lunch is from 1-2... this type of things then i pay attention... farkin hell... no good lahz jon... *nobody understands*

Had lunch wif my fellow attachees at the airport canteen... saw joanna for the 1st time in a Cathay Pacific uniform... my goodness... red's in fashion sia... but honestly... u look damn different from when in scool... aiyah... but same person in the end... day wuz pretty slow moving till then... got back to my office and checked up some stuff on the net... WHAT!? YOU WERE SKIVING ON THE JOB?!... no lahz... really nothing to do... 1st week is suppose to be familiarisation for me... for the time being got some kind office cubicle space for me... i think they're at a point of hiring new full-time staff so they juz let me "own" a space for a while... WAHHH! then suddenly... out from nowhere... now MANAGER wanna see me... but nothing spectecular lahz... another nice fella... he briefed me on the airport surroundings... some of the projects i wud be doing durin my time here... a bit of soccer... a bit of how screaming school galz at the airport when they see celebrities annoy him... very informal kind of chat we had... he n his assistant both rather easy to talk to i must say... he gave me a spare pass so tat i can enter the office for the time being till they process my application... so for now... farkz... must pay full price at the canteen... hahaz... i juz bring out the best of my cheapskate side dun i? hahaz... *nobody understands*

as usual... i wuz doin my own thing... checkin scool e-mail and half writing my blog at work when suddenly... mr abbas walked into my cubicle and said... "come... let's take a walk"... then suddenly all those movies of hearing tat line started floodin my head... it wuz either the guy nv return back alive or there wuz something REAL serious to talk abt... BUT SURPRISINGLY... we were on the way to the canteen for some tea... wahhh... 1st day then u bring me for drinks... i think this relationship is going too fast for me... hahaz... juz jokin... but anyhow... we had a short chat abt wat is expected of me here b4 more blokes started joinin in... wohhh... and suddenly... i wuz sittin wif the big boys... they started chattin abt their wives... their kids... their jobs... something which i DEFINATELY wasn't a part of... AHHH!... then they turned to the topic of soccer... wahhh... tat's when i started to join in... we were talkin abt how bad the england team was against france... how zidane bossed the midfield... how CRAP owen wuz and tat rooney is the only star in the team... i let it known tat i think portugal will take the cup... although they said portugal no chance... i still have faith in them... their silky skills... their good looks... their cockiness... all the makings of a champion... finished up wif tea... back to office... b4 i knew it... 6pm liaoz... time to go... will be back tomolo... hopefully i will be given something to do this time... i had enuff of reading the trolley maintenance and retrieval manual... *nobody understands*

No More Tears

No sunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance, and I won't waste another tear. If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you do it. Now if you've had your fill, get the check, pay the bill, you can do it. Tell him to just get out, nothing left to talk about, pack his raincoat, show him out,
just look him in the eye and simply shout: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, I can't go on no more, I want him out, I want him out that door now. I always dreamed I'd find the perfect lover, but he turned out to be like every other man I loved.
She cried the day the circus came to town, cos' she didn't want just parades passin' by her. So she painted a smile and took up with some clown while she danced without a net upon the wire.
I know a lot about her cos' you see, she's an awful lot like me.
She saw that when he pulled that big top down, he left behind her dreams among the litter, the different kind of love she thought she'd found. However, there was nothing left but sawdust and glitter. Don't cry out loud, just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings. Fly high and proud, and if you should fall, remember you almost had it all.

Let me bring you back...

The week till today (wed) came n disappeared like the wind... wuz workin wif me mate jon on monday... it wuz his last workin day b4 he wud disappear down-under in brisbane for the time of his life... his bro is studyin there and he's rather thrilled to go see him... i assume he has tons of things to catch up wif him... jon's leavin on the 12th...

For You

wohhh... it's been ages since i last blogged... my goodness... feel so foreign rite now typing all this out... it'd be almost impossible for me to rekindle all tat's been going on this past week coz tons of things did happen... both sad n memorable... if u din know... my grandpa passed away in his sleep more than a week ago... i still miss him though... he wuz like the only grandpa i had when i wuz old enuff to realise wat wuz going on ard me... i lost my maternal grandpa when i wuz juz a young boy so it wuz like i hardly knew the man... the day at the crematorium wuz really emotional and it still pains me when i think back to it... my gal's been great... seein thru all these difficult times wif me... things wud have been harder without u... a big thanx to my frenz who came to pay their respects too... it wuz really appreciated... from then on after the funeral... it wuz back to normal life for my family n me... *nobody understands*
