Sigh

hi baby

going to sleep soon. feel quite blah.. dunno why. Like suddenly I'm quite useless. Sian. It's times like these that I wish you were here. Oh well.

Tomorrow morning I have to drop by the office (of that proofreading job i was taking about) because the boss wants me to write an article or something like tt. it's good money so i said ok. Dunno whether I have to stay there, we'll see.

Then will be spending time with vanessa because she leaves on thur morning.

anyway, miss u very much. muaks!

WOMAD

Hi baby! This is a photo post to tell you what happened last night atWomad.



The first act we caught! They're called The Idan Raichel Project from Israel and they played Ethiopian folk. Quite nice, like some sort of African opera, hehe


End of the act.


Queuing for drinks!


Cheaper than I thought it'd be. At a club, it's average $10.


Jewelry at the stalls.


We bump into Robin, Vanessa's family friend.


I like how I look in this photo. Lost the scarf!! Boo hoo :(


Silly bartender.


Lots of pics of Van and me, so be warned.


Eating pasta, it was very good!! Wah, the pasta was cooked just right with really fresh mushrooms and herbs. Only $5!


Bumped into Rachel (red shirt) and her cute friend Eva.


Near the main stage, on Fort Canning hill.


Funny hor, I didn't see the sign til after the pic! shall take it's advice. It's a sign i tell you!! hur, hur. :)

the end

muaks!

Some photos I took last night

Hi baby,

was messing about with my camera last night, and these are two shots I took:





Can you guess what the first is?

Will be going to WOMAD tonight, some world music festival that's set on a hill called Fort Canning. It's going to sweaty and hot and filled with mosquitoes! Hope I can come out alive.

Muaks

Happy Anniversary!

HAPPY 20th MONTH BABY!

It's been so wonderful together, and I hope we'll have many more happy months together. Muaks!

Going to meet peishan now, i'm very sleepy. sigh.

love you very much

Missing You

Hi baby, wondering where you are.

Feeling sleepy the whole day. Nothing much happened, I've just done my CV. The more I look at it the more disappointed I am, dunno why. WishI could've done more. Not in terms of grades, but more ambitious work and projects. Funny eh. I could've put more on my CV but it ran out of space. Anyway most of it was law stuff which i thought was irrelevant anyway.

Feeling blah blah blah.

Miss you a lot, it's so hot today. I want to snuggle with you in a cold room, under the covers. :(

Gg to sleep early today. very very tired. MUAKS

Hihi

Just wanna say a quick hi baby! Anyway today I've been brushing up my cv, changing the layout and making it look presentable. I've made a list of companies to apply for. I guess the thing that worries me now is my 2:2 :( I know everyone will see it and make lots of judgments about it, which is fair enough. Oh well, have to press on i guess.

I'm going out for a quick dinner now and meeting the Bristol people for drinks because Safa is leaving again. So fast! I'm a little broke now, sigh. it's bad. I luckily have friends who are looking out for work for me, so hopefully something will come through.

will be back early tonight, so I'll see you online! should be back at midnight ok? which is 5pm or so your time. MUAKS. Love you lots and lots.

Productivity Tools

Was surfing online to find things to get our asses in gear when it comes to work and stuff, and found these:

1) Backpack - It lets you make checklists, notes, make pages for your projects (or in our case, job hunting). See the page I made here: http://wurh.backpackit.com/pub/74524 (you can make it private or public)

i signed up another account under our gmail: forcutebabiesonly@gmail.com
login: workspace
password: zm2haicf
so can try it out!

2) Google Sidebar - Rem we downloaded google desktop and found it so useless? Just discovered that it now comes with a sidebar which you add can plugins to. I'm just testing it out now, but with it you don't need to use Gmail notifier anymore, and can also add a todo list plugin and write notes and stuff, news alerts etc. Seems quite cool so far.

Still looking for stuff. Anyway, perhaps the first step both of us should do is write a list of companies we might apply to!

MUAKS.

Photos from Prague + One Goose

Hi Baby,

Found some photos of me when we were in prague!



This was when we were at the top of Prague Castle overlooking the city. Nice view eh! Unfortunately I look crappy.



It started raining so we went to eat at this Italian restaurant. They had cheap and nice pizza & pasta, I think each dish about 5 pounds, so not super ex.



This is a Nene (nay-nay, not neh-neh!) goose eating seed from my mum's hand (i think), they're the most gentle of all the geese so when they ate from your hand it felt very ticklish! while the other geese would just snap and pinch your flesh.

Hehe, muaks!

Rainy Day Blues

good morning baby!

I feel sleeeepy. Woke up to a huge downpour outside, then my dog got scared, aiyoh. Speaking of dreams, I had a disturbing dream last night, like I was being attacked by someone. I don't know, i remember moving in my sleep. Sigh, why can't I have nice dreams about you?

Anyway having serious second thoughts about my class reunion. I think I need a break from meeting people. It's very fun and stimulating, but I feel a little tired, so I think I'm gonna enjoy some time by myself before and after the bristol formal - go to Borders (tho not half as nice as in Bristol), have a coffee etc.. wished you were with me! I miss your company so much, always so simple and I can be myself the most :)

My tummy isn't feeling well today, and I think it's linked to the period. Or maybe I ate something bad, I don't know! My mum thinks I should go see a gynae... but it's so expensive! I'll ask my dad to reccommend someone maybe. SIGH, is this all because of that ONE stupid injection. Why must my body be so weird?

OK baby, have to go. First I have to call and cancel with my ex-classmates :P

MUAKS, i Luuuuurve you!

I hate pretentious people!

Hi baby,

"Work" today was soooooooooooooooooooo boring. But that wasn't the worse bit, I hate the people I work under! Firstly, it was this guy who is only 27 but acts like he knows everyone and everything. He was dropping so many names of the "important" people he knew in various companies and his friends. The stupid thing was that I think I knew half of the peope he named dropped. God. I hate people like that, people who've barely experienced life who comes along and thinks they can tell people how to live theirs. Argh!

Then there was an Australian born Chinese girl who's so bitchy and whiny that I wanted to slap her. She's the typical high-maintenance woman. She'd whine that she did more work than the guy, and they'd argue about who did more work. It was obviouisly a clash of egos. I am so appalled at how they run the company! People who are so arrogant will never go far. I just kept thinking of the MONEY. Thank god I'm only doing this for two days.

After "work" (I called it "work" cos i barely do anything) i met up with my old friend Michelle, who works at Morgan Stanley. I was a bit afraid that it'd be weird, even though I've known the girl for 14 yrs and we were really close once, we kinda drifted.. so it was nice to have a really great talk and catch up! I think it's partially a change in me. I'm more confident now, and I really like talking to people and meeting new people so it was really fun. I'm slowly but surely getting there I think. It's really partially thanks to you baby, you're so patient and understanding with me and allowed me to reclaim my confidence. I love you!

MUAKS

*yawn*

Hi baby!

Just got up, had my first almost decent sleep in a while, so I feel much better yay! Will have another early night tonight.

My friend is bringing me to an invitation only party on wed and the dress code is RED. And i don't have anything red, and I hate dress codes so I'm going to be a rebel, haha. Actually I was thinking of buying a red chunky necklace since I've always wanted one so maybe that'll do.

Have to go for lunch now, I might be doing some "professional" part-time proofreading job which pays like $150 a day. the sucky thing is that i'll be proofreading a muslim coffeetable book on the haj, but it's the publishing company that contracts with the muslim assoc or something like tt, so i won't be dealing with them. anyway the lunch is just for me to find out more.

will tell you more when i get back. MUAKS love you

Hrmmmm

hi baby

just got back from having supper with friends. we were just sitting in a coffee shop talking kok.

not wanting to toot my own horn, so pls don't take it that way. i met a friend today who calls me the "inconfident chiobu" and it puzzles him a lot. And i like him cos he's very frank and blunt, so I knew he wasn't kidding. which made me think: first of all, am i very inconfident? hrm, maybe not with you, but I guess with certain pple. secondly, is it weird that i don't think myself that way? that i'm "chio". i don't really get hit on by many pple for one, and i've learnt not to take compliments too seriously, because well, talk is cheap, and guys just lay it on so thick when they want to get into a girl's pants, chio or not chio.

anyway, you know me, i hate talking about looks. i think it's because my friends have made me feel bad for supposedly being pretty. even tessa makes me uncomfortable sometimes. I should take it as a compliment but i don't. and hence, i find it a hinderance when it comes to making friends with girls, you know what i mean?

now i feel horrible for talking about this, because well you know me, i just hate this kind of thing, but if i don't talk to you about it, then who?

anyway, i met this girl today, my friend's friend and she was so nice. she's very sweet and made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. as if i was her own friend. i think it's such a gift for pple to be sincere and sweet in that way, i wish i had that but my shyness gets in the way.

on a different note, we're celebrating my mum's b'day tomorrow. it's actually on sunday but she could only get leave today. i forgot to buy her a present! but i really want to, i realised that she's a really great mother. so giving and selfless!

i hope you had a good day... hoping that you come onto MSN.

Whee Fireworks

Hi Baby, it national day today and everyone is on holiday. Last night I went to watch fireworks at midnight near the harbour. It was very nice, because of the crowd which were mostly families and the kids went "waaaaah!" and "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" hahaha, they were cute.

then I went to my friend's house and we sat around and talked cock and played daidi. Anyway I'm so sleepy right now, but dunno why I woke up, sigh.

N (skinny law dude) is having a national day BBQ at his place tonight, where all of us are supposed to either dress up as a minister (all white) or wear batik shirt and white pants (ack). don't know whether i'm gg cos my dad wants to eat out i think, and i'd rather go out with family for now. see lah.

i miss you baby, wish you were heeeeere. MUAKS. my one and only.

My Sunday

Hi baby!! This post is to give you an account of what I did today. So get ready for lots of pics! First, I wanted to go to town to return some library books at the library, so I leave my house at about 3pm...


This is the block opposite mine, but this is the type of flat I stay only mine is two storeyed and I think these are only one-storeyed flats. Depressing right? But it's a nice, quiet area and I like it a lot.


Walking to the bus stop...


The bus stop outside the train station. Usually I take the train to town, but I wanted a more scenic route today to take photos for my baby :)


This is our travel "ticket", have to tap it when we go up the bus and when we come down so it deducts the correct fare. it's damn ugly right.


On the bus 147.. notice the TV? It's damn irritating, I want peace and quiet but no...


mmmmmmm.... Snacks I bought for the bus trip, hehe. I love Collon!


My mango bag that mum bought for me, it's cute and can stuff lots of things inside!


First stop: I went to the bookshop to buy a notebook. Look at the piles and piles of assessment books!?!?! Siao.


Crazy crowds in town, ugh! S'pore is so small, and to prove it, my friend said he was in town today and I lied and said i was at home. I msged him to ask where he was and turns out he was at the shopping centre I was going to. SHIT. So I had to do covert ops. I actually saw him!! Lucky he was wearing a cap so he was easy to spot. Sigh. Anyway...


This is the nice library at the top of the shopping centre, it's like a haven away from the mess. Love this place!


The business section...


Down the escalator...


Took a photo of myself in the toilet when no one was looking :P Didn't want people to think I was crazy.


Had to go meet my dad at Little India for dinner, so was walking to the bus stop. This is Marriott hotel (the pagoda loooking one) and Scotts shopping centre.


This is Mustafa centre. it's this huge shopping area open 24 hours. Sundays are crazy because the place is filled with indian and bangla workers. It's literally a sea of black... Anyway we had nepalese food, which was quite yummy.


Driving home...


Taking Sam for a walk. He shat on the sidewalk and I forgot to bring a plastic bag so had to use a leaf to pick it up. Got shit on my finger!! Ewww.


Watching the Arsenal-Chelsea game...

And now I'm talking to you!!

MUAKS.

My Birthday Flowers from Baby!

Muaks.

baby baby

hi baabbbyy... I came online and you weren't around so I think you must be asleep and tired from work.

feeling sick still... but not so bad. think i'll relax today. hopefully i'll see you online tonight.

muaks!

Raining Outside

Hi baby

Woke up at noon-ish to eat lunch. So hunnngry. Gonna meet my friend Arthur for dinner later, we're eating Thai food at Golden Mile centre, which is like where all the real thai people hang out and own businesses and where are the thai workers go to eat or meet friends. Their tom yam soup comes in 'mild' and 'spicy' and I tried mild before and it's super bloody hoooot! So I don't dare try spicy hehe.

Daniel has been very nice, and been getting pple to go for my b'day on friday. It's just drinks at this place called Cafe Iguana where the magharitas are nice and cheap. I don't think many pple will turn up, but hopefully a few of the ones i like will. hehe. Will let you know who. Miss you, wish you were here too.

Last night I went to my friend Cheek's housewarming thingy at his new apartment. It's super nice, and he has a plasma tv and nice minimalist furniture. The toilet light turns on by sensor! It's super bachelor pad, but the funny thing is that he's going to be posted to Tokyo in a few weeks, so he's not really gonna live in it. Ah well.

Some old friends have been contacting me, and though I'm a little hesitant to meet up, I guess I should. I'm starting to get sick of Singapore already, I realise life here is still the same. Maybe my house is too small for me to have any real space, or my friends are still the same, or that nothing exciting is really happening, but it's also cos I'm so tired and haven't been sleeping well and my system just isn't gelling. And of course, because I'm not with you!!

Anyway, shortlisted a few names for my company:

1) Mali (like the country/city? Easy to pronounce and memorable)
2) Croa (I shortened Croatia, hehe dunno why I keep thinking of countries)
3) Rupa (Sounds a bit weird now that I think of it)

People keep asking me to use my name, and I think it's a stupid idea cos no one can pronounce it!?

Oh well, lemme know what you think. Muaks!

Missing You

Baby, it's 4am and i can't sleep. Feel very sad and very down, I miss you so much. Trying to imagine hugging you, but it feels so lonely in my bed. Don't know why I feel so low. Baby, I want to see you :( Wish I could fly back now and not leave you. So painful...

Zzzzzz

Baby I'm going to sleep early tonite, so don't wait for me online ok? I'll talk to you tmr! Miss you!!

The Amazing Shrinking Woman

Hi baby!

Didn't do much today. Went to the library with my brother, and borrowed 3 books and a magazine. All business related. One is about branding on the internet, one is about Customer R'ship Management on the internet, third one is like a textbook for e-commerce and the last was Entrepreneur magazine. Overkill right?!

Feeling tired, and looking run down. I don't know why I couldn't sleep again last night, it's like I kept thinking and thinking and tossing and turning eventhough I was tired. Don't know what I was thinking about. Then I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep. Sucks.

Anyway, I'm gg to do some exercise now. I don't know what. Was thinking of starting out slow and just brisk walk for 1/2 hour, not really in jogging mode. Tell you something weird, last night we went out to eat Hainanese food (chicken rice, mmmmm) and when I got back Iweighed myself and I was 56kg! And I was like shit. Then I woke up this morning, and I was 53kg?! It's like I lost 3kg worth of water overnight. Which was funny. Anyway, don't mean to sound like a weight-obsessed bimbo. But isn't it weird? Hehe.

Anyway, so bored today, I miss you so much! Love you.

Muaks
