the men don't get it.

i totally agree.

放弃了，就不要再回头看。
因为你多望几次， 也是于事无补。

机会来了就要抓紧
因为一松手
就会飞走了

Something has happened!

Oh look, a delicious biscuit is on the floor. You bend down to pick it up, and spin around - somebody has stolen 216 NP from you while you were distracted!

The delicious biscuit turns out to be a choco-strawberry techo cookie worth more than 1000 NP. Yes, still playing neopets. =P

What kind of person are you?

You are an outgoing and cheerful person. Although you get frustrated sometimes, you get through hard times easily and are joyful again.Your friendly personality makes you attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex, but this makes your spouse feel insecure. Your lack of emotion is a disadvantage, but your candor has made you popular.Friends of your gender find it hard to understand you because of your innocent thinking. But this is your advantage as it attracts members of the opposite sex who have the same personality as you.

Amici

The word means "boyfriends, friends" according to an online italian-english dictionary. Apt description.

Last night i went to a restaurant of that name with ASN and ME. We were going to celebrate our first paychecks but SEA and ANZP couldn't come cos they had work to do... So i ended up out w the other 2. Can't seem to find a time when all of them are free.

So these two guys are the Beer-Drinker and the Wine-Drinker. Was quite funny to hear them talk about opposite likes. Beer-Drinker suggests next time go Chinatown for claypot fish head, Wine-Drinker would be talking about which wine to order... But overall, we kept talking about work and anything else that wasn't about work, would lead back to work. Otherwise, the 2 would be talking abt the Arts fac...

It was a good dinner. would have liked to try the tiramisu. Kind of weird to be dining w 2 guys in such a cosy restaurant cos it was neither a date nor a group outing. Hopefully can find a time when everyone can meet up together. =)

Later gotta go back to office and work... Sigh.

Sigh

Got cancelled again. -_-

My office is at the ground floor of the building. This morning, when i bent down to pick up something i had dropped on the floor, i found a millipede crawling around. Millipedes don't harm people so i picked it up with a piece of paper and brought it out to the lawn.

As i was flinging the millipede off, i found the gardener staring at me. He walked over when i flung the millipede off. So i pointed at it, and HE BRUSHED IT ASIDE AND SMASHED IT. -_-

Caught Ed's group at Esplanade today. Sounding great as usual...

A male confessional

recommend that u guys read this blog: http://paper-windmills.blogspot.com. belongs to a fren of mine who writes quite well actually. =) found his latest post really entertaining. even his comments too. lol.

Scrabble! =)

i love playing scrabble but not that competitive that i'ld go to the library to borrow books on acceptable 2 letter works in scrabble.

so finally found a friend who was willing to play w me. =) so i lugged my standard sized scrabble board to suntec and we sat at Starbucks and played while drinking ice blended strawberry and cream and latte. really should make it a weekly thing cos otherwise i'm just really bored at home when The Gang doesn't meet up. AND I LOST! was leading by quite a bit at the start... but i think i got a bit complacent towards the mid and my opponent got the J, Q and Z - power letters. but it was a good game, cos we criss crossed the board, formed 2 words w just 4 tiles a few times, had a few 5-6 letter words too! =)

and i'm quite amazed that my life sci buddies are all free on 30th! except our dear LSR fan who has er hu class right smack in the mid of the day so i guess we'll have to start taking photos ard 9 or 10 then eat lunch so that she can get to her class.

tuition later...

Episode VII

the girls are finally all married!

Mrs Bree Jones - married Johnson Jones (prof; grandma angela's 1st or 2nd love)
Mrs Gabrielle Lawson - married Mitch Lawson (fireman)
Mrs Susan Deppissee - married Leo Deppisse (gardener)

all three got married on the same day, within 5 min of each other, and took the same limo to their honeymoons. =)

then... Gabi got pregnant first. gave birth to a Julie Lawson, baby girl with orange eyebrows (must be from Gabi's dad, Ray). Susan got pregnant second and gave birth to Mike Deppissee, baby boy *FINALLY broke the curse of daughters!* with black eyebrows. Bree got pregnant third, but don't think she'll be able to give birth (already 1 day overdue!) cos the game restricts the number of ppl in the house to maximum 8! I guess the 3 sisters will have to split up...

the house is so crowded! i don't even remember who's who's husband! i think i saw Leo kiss Gabi *gasps* or was it Susan? will this be the start of another scandalous relationship in the house? will Johnson Jones continue to see Grandma Angela? stay tuned!

KY

My Asst Director, KY, is a funny guy. really. today he and DSO A were talking abt taking leave on 8th Aug (Nat Day eve). I cover KY's work when he's away so they popped over to my cubicle (next to KY's) to ask if i'ld be ard. I said I would and we got confused abt when the Nat Day Observance Ceremony (NDOC) (4th Aug) was. *my fault* =P so the following conversation was held thinking that the NDOC was on 8th.

DSO A: then u won't be able to watch her sing.

KY: i will give u my full support on the rehearsal!

Me: cannot! must be there in person!

DSO A: Aiyah... on that day, i print a life size photo of him and hold up lar.

Me: cannot! then cannot see u (DSO A) liao!

KY: photo hor... will bend... *KY slouches to imitate what the life size photo would look like if it was not supported on a board*

couldn't stop laughing when i recounted the incident to two of my other colleagues. =P

Looking afar.

Some photos from friday. =) will upload the whole bunch when i've collected everything. that's my fellow mouse-killer btw. =P

One of my favourite photos that i took on friday...

Somehow it gets pixelated when i resize it. -_- doesn't do justice to the picture.

Pink as a lobster today, peel like an onion tmr.

Yes, finally went cycling today! 2 HOURS UNDER THE HEAT OF THE MIDDAY SUN. the nick says it all. lost my balance and fell down (yes, very klutzy of me). just a little scratch on my right knee (where i landed on) but no bleeding. However, 10 hours later, i realised that i got a little bump on my left thigh. must have hit the handle of the bike when i fell. 20cent-sized bruise right now, but will prob develop to >50 cent size tmr. -_-

went shopping *FINALLY*! bought 3 tops - well... in effective 2, cos the 3rd was to wear inside one of them. Yes aki, i should stop buying too many shirts! should try to keep a lookout for nice knit tops or something. they ran out of size so i had to settle for a 3rd choice colour, which isn't that bad except that i prefer the purple and the pink (although pink would look ultra sweet).

after that, we headed to spinky's place for our monthly dose of SNTGD! SO FUNNY!!! laughing uncontrollably, and as usual, laugh till i cried, and spinky went "ARGH! GREENIE!" and hit me with a cushion. =P we really should do this more often!

then the STOOPID bus! SPEEDING LAR! never stop for me although i was just 3m away from the bus stop. -_____- had to wait another 20 min b4 the bus came, and this one was speeding too, so had to hang on to the metal bar for support even though i was seated. =P

i think my left arm will ache tmr - feels a bit sore. and the pelvic bone is still aching from the bicycle seat. we should switch to blading next time - butt won't ache that much, unless we keep falling and landing on it. haha...

strong influence...

i think i influenced my 29 yr old colleague to become more klutzy and childish... =P

today, he accidentally spilt coffee over himself n his keyboard (klutzy!), then asked me to lean forward to see the coffee stains on his keyboard then he pushed my head down! hmmph.

today was a relatively slow day at work...

sleepy. what should i wear tmr? find something that doesn't need to be ironed...

Get to know yourself better

This quiz is quite accurate for me... Kind of reminds me of the kind ur friends would ask u in sec sch, i.e. walk down a forest, what's the first animal u see/ on the table there's a jar - half full or half empty etc...
http://quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Lalala...

He has done it yet again. Everyone already said it's not for photocopying, but he thought he was doing a favour by photocopying 10 copies of everything. Now insisting that we were in the wrong - as usual.

-------

in case i don't blog tmr, 2 MONTHS SINCE WE WENT JAPAN! OMG! still a bit unbelievable that we went! it really was incredibly fun... lovely weather, DISNEYLAND!!! next yr... next yr... next yr...

-------

-------

my friend is experiencing quarter-life crisis of a sort, love life and career... Why don't ppl wanna get married and have kids? Fine if u really don't like kids and don't wanna have any, but marriage... Why would ppl not wanna get married if they really love/wanna be with each other? sigh... hope everything works itself out.

on the other end of the spectrum, found out that one of my friends is expecting! CONGRATULATIONS!!! and two of my friends FINALLY got together. Was quite obvious there was something between them from quite some time ago actually... =P

Sorry to disappoint...

Dear the patient fans of fairview affairs,

i apologize for the lack of new episodes. there's a bug in the game, causing my characters to get stuck in the hot tub. sigh. anyway, the 3 girls have moved into a new home and are getting ready to get married n have kids! stay tuned next week!

anyway, a random search of friends' names, turned up more links to that list with the different names entered, and one friend's maths GEM proj report on tessellation...

“HOW BAD IS YOUR TEMPER ACCORDING TO YOUR HOROSCOPE?”

I think this is quite true... haha... [note: long post. 3 posts today!]

ARIES MARCH 21 – APRIL 20
Nothing seems to ruffle you more than a lack of discipline, disloyalty and decorum. But Arians are also known to go into a rage very easily when challenged. Those of you who have been on the receiving end of the Aries temper know that if not calmed down they can even get violent. But one thing is certain if the opponent remains calm and does not react to their outburst, Arians cool down very fast. They are also the first to apologies, which makes them easier to forgive.

TAURUS APRIL 21 – MAY 20
You are generally quiet and have control over your emotions. It is difficult to predict what will upset you, so when you do lose your cool, people don’t know how to react. Your temper is like that of a raging bull, and anyone trying to pacify you will be the first one to get a verbal bashing. You generally get upset when you are concerned or when people accuse you of doing something wrong. You also hate being reminded about mistakes you’ve made in the past. You also have the potential to be terribly vindictive if rubbed the wrong way.

GEMINI MAY 21 – June 29
You are recognized by your cheerful disposition and your jovial nature is easily susceptible to anger. In fact, you are the best person to have around when there is an ugly scene at a party you can bring the warring factions together quite diplomatically. But when you lose cool, you yell and scream and will not listen to reason. You must have the last word in a wordy duel. Your capacity to argue aggressively is matched only by your seductive charm.

CANCER JUNE 21 – JULY 21
Considering how charming, caring and kind you are, you dislike unpleasant scenes, much less creating one yourself. You have great tolerance and rarely get provoked into losing your temper. If someone is unreasonable or trying to create trouble, you are more likely to walk away quietly. But that does not mean you do not have a temper. When angry, in your effort to control your emotions, you tremble, your hands get sweaty and sometimes you fumble for words. Tears roll down your eyes easily and the opponent is touched by your innocence and will seek an apology immediately.

LEO JULY 22 – AUGUST 21
If anyone has total control over their emotions, it is you. But then, you can be described as stiff, cold and uncaring. You are known to lack spontaneity but you really don’t care about opinions. You don’t like to create scenes and will never accept invitations to a party where you suspect the presence of an unruly lot. But your very presence seems challenging to some and they take vicarious pleasure in your disquiet. When angry you can use critical language. A dressing down can humiliate your opponent, causing a strain between both of you forever.

VIRGO AUGUST 22 – SEPTEMBER 21
Most of you are gentle and have full control over your emotions but those of you given to temper tantrums can certainly get violent. When see things with rage, you yell and shout and tend to break things lying close at hand. You can even harm yourself by banging your hands on a glass top table or wall. You should never get into any argument, for you are a sore loser. You feel that others are trying to persecute you and don’t quite respect your opinions. When hurt, you can also hold grudges forever.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 22
Did someone say that you are the charmers of the zodiac? Well, it’s true. Few have ever seen you ruffled or angry. You are very conscious of your image, and you believe that anger distorts your face and personality. You also think you are above things like anger. But wait before you get into self-congratulatory mood. Your family or those very close to you know you better. You have an unmatched temper amongst all the zodiac signs, and what makes it worse is your capacity to justify it.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21
Of course you don’t lose your cool. But your very demeanour (manner) projects haughtiness (arrogance, pride), pride and grand disdain (disregard) for lesser mortals (human). Others are often found saying that anger sits on your nose and you are raring to give your piece mind to the first person that try to be funny with you. You are selective in the choice of your friends, and have a low tolerance for the superfluous (extra) types. Your tongue-lashing (attack) is generally in a soft hissing tone for when you scream, your voice tends to get shrill and loud and you do hate drawing attention to yourself! When upset, you are angrier with yourself for having shown weakness, for the last thing that Scorpio wants to show is being out of control.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 20
You are insensible and generally have no complete control over your emotions. You do get angry quickly and others marvel at your anger levels even when provoked. Actually, you get tongue-tied when angry and you will remove your anger waiting for the other person to calm down. Then you will reason with your opponent and convince the other person in a very gentle manner that the whole thing was just his mistake. You’re also likely to totally sever ties with someone when you’re upset with them.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19
Few will believe that a hardcore practical and materialistic person like you is capable of sensitivity and genuine emotions. You project a hard exterior but are actually very sensitive, a trait you successfully hide from others. You can see thing with anger but will not betray your feelings. But then, there are times that even you cannot control your temper. Under such circumstances you can shout and scream, more with frustration at the situation than with anger at any particular person. Your outbursts can shock others and can make them feel guilty too.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18
You are noble and kind and dislike losing control over your emotions. It is very rare for you to get angry. You are also the pacifier in situations that involve arguments. It is always your endeavor to be perfect and socially correct in your behavior and attitude, but if misunderstood and slighted you can give in to an angry outburst. You will shout and scream and then walk out from the scene. You cannot easily forget the situation and will be bitter about it for a long time.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20
The only thing that can be said about you dreamers is that you appear even more attractive when angry. You are very sensitive to others’ feelings, so you rarely hurt them. But when others tend to hurt you, then things take a nasty turn. You will yell and use harsh words and feel inclined to shake everything and everyone up. Your creative imagination is at its best when angry, and you tend to get pretty dramatic. When upset, you refuse to listen to reason and wish to be left alone. But once you calm down, you repent your tantrums and seek forgiveness. SO nobody can be upset with you for too long.
