Heroes on Tuesday night...

wuz walkin back to me office at T1 when from the corner of my eye i saw this girl oh so familiar... hey... JANET?... wat are u doin here? janet's my coursemate back in TP and the last i heard she went overseas to thailand for her student internship... but we all haven't finished attachment lehz... how come u're here? dun tell me u another ivan lek/karen lim case... no lahz... i come here to extend/renew my visa... then now waitin for my flight back... ohz i see... alrite alrite... chatted for awhile wif her b4 she left for her flight... apparently she's havin the time of her life at her attachment... pple there are nice... she stays at the hotel... food is paid for... work is flexible... too flexible according to her... wow... sounds like u got the better bargain... maybe greener pastures are always available beyound our shores...
*nobody understands*

DAMMIT! i'm way past my deadline for my work n i'm still not done... i'm utterly n totally screwed... but not literally... oh give me strength!

it wuz a great nite of champions league football... 31 goals scored from 8 matches and 8 of those goals comin from 1 match... wif tat match bein man utd vs fenerbache... they really juz dispatched the turks as though they were a training ground team... but i must tell u... when i saw the team lineup... i wuz bewildered... the midfield wuz rather unfamiliar wif kleberson n djemba-djemba in the middle of the park and wif bellion out on the rite... ferguson usin this team for champions league? sure anot... giggs remained on the left from the usual man utd midfield team... but once the game started... they proved me wrong... the whole team played well and plus rooney got a hat-trick... wow... can't remember any player gettin a hat-trick on their debut b4... he is by far an exciting talent... plus i dun think he was totally match-fit yet... nearer towards the end of the game giggs came off to be replaced by fletcher and the whole entire midfield was young and unfamiliar now... but the talk of the town wuz still rooney and his marvellous display... happy days ahead for man utd i'm sure... juz hopefully now alan smith and paul scholes can find room in the squad then...
*nobody understands*

yesterday at work was a totally hilarious affair... it wuz a slow tuesday nite at bakerz and i had marlene... peizhen... derek n jon for company wif alan out sick... the whole time we all were workin it wuz as though we were damn sure the place wuz gonna close at 10 coz got no customers... jokes were aplenty as we all clicked well among one another... we're all considered old-timers liaoz as we've been workin together for so long already... haiz... we wun get many dayz like these often so gotta enjoy it when we can...

Four to the floor i wuz sure...

wuz at this mid autumn celebration thingy in my department today... wuz rather hesitant to go in the 1st place coz as i said in an earlier blog entry of mine... i din know anybody there plus i wud feel so out of place... entered into a room full of strangers... sat in a little place out of radar... but ah! been spotted!... "come... come... eat... eat..." alrite then... wuz feelin hungry anyway... shan't stand on ceremony then... more pple started to fill the place... more stangers tat is... juz lay as quietly as i cud all this time... pretendin to be too engrossed in my food so tat it'd save me the awkward looks i'd get... initially tot this wuz juz gonna be another drab affair wif the likes of these office types... but boy wuz i wrong... they may be office types... but many were still young at heart... lanterns were brought... dried ice in buckets situated on tables givin the place a kind of smokey effect... many holdin lanterns and walkin ard the place... hahaz... they juz wanted to have fun... and fun they had... anywayz... 2pm... lunch's over... helped wif the clean-up and now... back to work...

Tired lahzzz...

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

as i wuz comin back from lunch today... one of the staff from the office (not from the department i'm workin in though)... invited me to a mooncake festival next tuesday... it wuz a nice gesture and all... but it really made me wonder if they're juz askin for the sake of askin or did they genuinely want me to be there... i guess its the former... coz in the 1st place i dun talk to any of them so how could they want me there? well... and even if i did go... i'd juz wind up bein another farkin lamp-post...... plus i dun like to eat mooncake... ;p

been given a new assignment lately... bein an auditor now requires me to walk ard the terminals and check up on the trolley retreivers and apparently grade their performances... quite tirin i find this... coz there are like so many retrievers ard the terminals tat i dun even know if i'll find them all... it's like playin those games which require u to find all the targets before u can move on to next level... i checked the gradin system i wuz given and found this section on attire quite baffling... it says 3 points (average rating) for shirt tucked in and not too crumpled while 2 points (poor rating) for shirts not tucked in and crumpled... BUT all of them have their shirt tucked out! well... wuz very diplomatical in all of their ratingz... coz its like i'm supposed to be one of them (wif me bein a waiter and all)... and now here i am gradin them... and i have another section of gradin which is friendliness... but i guess its not their fault when they walk ard wif this stern look on their faces... tats juz their regular look...

congrats to man utd on winning liverpool a couple of dayz back... i think tat wuz one of the better performances man utd had put in all season... wif ferdinand back... it wuz as though the whole team change from man city to man utd... even silvestre somehow played better in tat match... a sign of more good things to come wif rooney still on his way back to fitness... but who play upfront? van nistelrooy more or less obvious choice but who support? scholes? then where does rooney... saha... smith come into this picture? they are not bench warmers mind u... but wif tat said... liverpool din really play to their potential too... i'm sorry lahz jon... but xavi alonso not tat good lahz... he haven't settle into the squad yet... he's too used to playin the real sociedad style of play and so haven't click wif his mates on his passin... and still... baros is preferred on the bench then upfront wif cisse which i find is an insult to his talents... he's the top scorer in euro 2004 for cryin out loud! and now wif gerrard injured... liverpool's gonna find it tough till he comes back coz he IS their engine... wif this said... it's still early dayz in the premiership... let's see how the rest of the season goes...

Things will go my way...

wanna hear something ironic? i had written in my e-journal abt my work experience here at CAAS durin the past mth... i wrote abt how the communication levels between my manager and me was at a minimum... tat my work wuz gettin mundane and tat the days were gettin rather long n borin each time... also wrote a bit on how i'm like doin the same work as the previous mth and tat nothin new wuz assigned to me... all tat said... clicked submit and it wuz on blackboard... then... and juz then... an hr later my manager walked into my cubicle catchin me by surprise... quickly closed all my soccernet browsers...
Abbas: So how? how's the contract coming along?
Me: ermmm... can lahz... no problem... been writing up on some things for it... got this *point*... this *point*... i also added a few *point* *point* *point*...........................................
Abbas: okok... alright... i need you to do something for me soon... got to
start on auditing... will need u to do this *point*... then... *point* fill
in and access *point* some of them... ok? can?
Me: yahhh... alrite... shuden be a problem...
Abbas: by next week can ah?ok...
wahhh... amazing... it wuz as though he had access to my scool's blackboard and he managed to access my e-journal which wuz only meant for my LO... outrageous... funny how all these things juz pan out dun
they... DAMMIT! now must go edit my e-journal...
*nobody understands*

Sick of it... after so long... old reputations die hard... too many things... it's different now... too different... it's juz money now... money's all tat i care for... change? maybe... have i? maybe its u... i gotta get out of here... i mean it... i dun wanna be shakin my head no more... too much nonsense... too much pollution... too tired...
*nobody understands*

wuz readin JUICE magazine the other day... used to have a VERY good impression of tat magazine coz it wuz like bold... fresh... and appeared neutral to the naked eye... i still do have a good impression of the magazine... juz tat... now i feel tat its not neutral anymore... but like a support magazine to the likes at Far East... well... at least tats wat i think... i'll surely get ridiculed when i say this... but their style pages are rather narrow... this must be THEIR style... u mean wearing bapesta shoes and Xlarge caps are the style now in singapore? and so now if u're a turntablist u're already defined as cool? breakdancin is the in thing? juz like the magazine says... "put a moron in armani, and he/she is still a moron."
*nobody understands*

Now... lastly... i wud like to bid farewell to F.R.I.E.N.D.S.... it'll be sad to see u all leave... but all good things must come to an end... i've been a fan since i started watchin the very 1st episode wif my sister and have been watchin ur lives unfold ever since the 1st season started up till now... wait... well... din manage to catch this latest season coz of time constraints... but thankfully... have my blogmate to thank for taping all those episodes... thanx again gerald...

Ha, well even if it isn't from you, just wana let you know that I really loved it. Thanks... (btw, the menu is in preparation, don't worry) If it IS, then well well well, it'd be the second time I've received flowers from you...and it's BIGGER and MORE NICELY bundled this time! I had a wonderful 7 Sep, with a pinch of laughing dust at supper to top it all up...
Those who hasn't seen The Trocks, you better go watch it...you'd enjoy it, guys and gals alike. Lastly... to Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo - "The Trocks", KEEP ON TROCKIN'!

spent the whole of my saturday working... from opening till closing... been a long time since i last did a shift like this... finally got to work wif marlene for real today... some of my colleagues were initially afraid of her coz some heard rumours tat she very bitchy to she quite fierce... dun know where they hear all this from but personally i think she's alrite... last time used to work wif her at millenia... apparently i had quite the reputation over there... wuz called the "eat snake boy"... hahaz... cannot blame lahz... worked there during the world cup period ya know... eyes were glued to the big screen across the street rather than to the customers... in any case... workin wif her wuz alrite... juz tat i guess yen wuz juz a little stressed coz she unintentionally made a few mistakes... no worries yah...
went for supper after work coz wuz farkin hungry... had a quick 1 wif the colleagues b4 jon n jon retreated to 7-11 to have a quiet drink... we dun usually hang tat often as last time so this wuz a treasured moment... had a decent chat on wat's been goin on in each other's lives... been a long time since we last did this... time? time is short... it's nv enuff... juz gotta make do wif wat we got yeah...

managed to catch two movies on sunday... stepford wives and harold & kumar go to white castle... stepford wives wuz rather funny i must say... but as the show progressed... it started to get a little unbelievable... the things abt robot wives and how they became robots wuz a little confusing for me... the show even had christopher walken as a robot... wow... this actor always plays the villain parts... probably coz he has tat villain face... but harold & kumar wuz juz a plain brainless... stupid... lame old fashioned comedy... which i quite enjoyed i must say... been a long time since i last laughed so much at the movies... go watch it if u juz wanna let go of all ur day's stress and juz have a funny time... hahaz...

an end of an era...

Ohhh it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real
I like the way that feels
Ohhh it's as if you know me better than I ever knew myself
I love how you can tell
all the pieces pieces pieces of me
all the pieces pieces pieces of me
