When Direct and/or Crude meets Sensitive

ever tot of d formula below?

non-sensitive issue:
when direct and/or crude meets sensitive = no reaction

sensitive issue:
when direct and/or crude meets sensitive = explosive reaction esp when threat is felt even when small amt

& wat seems non-sensitive to 1 doesn't mean it would b for another. tolerance is another factor tt can affect d outcome. & emotion & mood can affect d tolerance lvl too. & there r many other factors too.

humans r such a complicated species.

Life is so Irony

3 yrs ago I cant wait to get over my last 'exam-able' sem & 2.5 yrs ago I cant wait to get over my FYP. & when I finally graduated, was so relieved & happy. I told myself that I do not wanna study liao.

However, at times I still ve to read scientific papers. It is something that never fails to put me to slp.

Then 1 yr ago when l know of a chance to work outta lab, l tot finally l don't ve to read papers again. But l am wrong. At Times, I gotta read papers again. psychological papers. Cos dear wanna discuss his assignment with me.

Not only that. l have like gone Thru at least 1 full Module with him & that is on thinking critically. It is quite interesting actually.

Anw, cos of my change of job nature, actually l am still corsidering if l shld Take up a Master.

Life is so irony.

Nature vs Nurture?

Suddenly l had this feeling to write. Wanted to write in Facebook status but I think it might be long. Thus, decided to write it in this blog which I had not touch again for quite some time again. well, what trigger me is that I had this utterly mixed feeling that is mostly sad.

Mum had been babysitting many kids all these years & I had also seen many different types of parents from relatives, colleagues, etc. Parents that can be doting, pampering, protective, etc. To some that even got the bo chap attitude. Some will selflessly take leaves to take care of kids even if boss not happy. Some will struggle to get up & wake their kids even when they are unwell. Some will grumble & be angry when kids got unwell. Some will not mind to bring kid to specialist even though just 1 visit can cost few hundred. Some will just go straight to KKH. Why can there be so much extreme? Isn't the kid give a life by you? Didn't a mother carry the baby in her womb for months? Isn't the lad given birth by you?

Nature vs nurture. Does it mean that after giving birth, your task is completed? The kids will grow up by themselves? Does nature take it own course? Don't you need to find time to nurture? To guide? To teach? To love? To care? If you give the bo chap attitude to the kid, the kid would be nurture, be conditioned to think that no one care even if unwell. Or maybe even be scolded. They will end up having the learnt helplessness attitude. What ever happened, they keep everything to themselves. Do you think that is good? You might end up destroying the life of the kid esp if they are unwell & Kept to themselves about it, By then, it was discovered, it might already be way too late even if you paid immediate attention to it. But also f. you do pay attention rather than scold or ignore.

A cousin of mine manage to learn to go to Polyclinic when unwell. But at least she is old enough to make such decision for herself & got some savings fr doing part-time. But for a 12- Year old kid, do you think the kid will have such capabilities? It is really so sad especially if this happen to someone close to you. $ isn't everything. Though without $, you also won't survive, But $ doesn't buy you real love & care & concern. However, how much can you do to help? You can tell µ kid to look for you but if they never, you also can't help. haiz....

safety

Last night, my parents called me askin if I accident recently. S usual, their story twisted saying I bump into lorry & I not happy & off my hp & dear worry. D whole scenario is a lorry broke down in my path & I was too closed to d triangular hazard sign to while tryin to steer out & notice tt plate I hit a car. Both of us got some dents & scratches but not so serious.

Anw, durin dinner & aft dinner today my parents tok ab it again & aft d incident at d petrol kiosk jus nw, I think next time when I drive, thr r many many things to notice & do & be careful too.

1) notice if windscreen got paper or so in case raining when driving
2) rmbr to lock all my doors even if i am waitin for dear or others & even if it may not b a short wait
3) blk my hp in case call/sms/etc come & disrupt my GPS navigation
4) rmbr to off d lights b4 I leave
5) make sure I don go wash car, etc alone

though we r in sg which is relatively safe, I suddenly recall tt day when I went to do d final settlement for d accident case, I think i'm oso too bold liao. for d whole case, I was alone startin fr when i jus hit d car, dear nvr pick my call, den i forget take note of d other's party car plate no & info. in d end i ask fr him via watsapp. den he called sayin increase in d amt he expected & i agreed cos i dk wat to cx & tt i tot he's d victim so though he initially said he can come to pass me d receipt, i felt bad & asked for scanned or photo of it. but in d end, dear said shld but too late. dear oso den said shld oso ve a b&w copy which we both signed to cfm close case & so i ask fr d guy if possible. he agreed & i only noe he said he stay sembawang so i tot i might b able to meet him like at d mall or mrt so we can sign. aft agreed to meet him but he said he is not at d mall but will send me a location, i took cab down. didn't noe wat d place is like. in cab, d cab uncle ask whr but i oso dk. i only can say i can set gps & tell him direction. d uncle said his impression of tt area got pubs. i almost fainted. i search & see tt d unit i was given is a crab restaurant so i was relieved. but when i reach & call him, he came out, i notice alcohol smell fr him. but i still assure myself tt mayb he got drink beer while eating. but... his friend called him & he told his friends tt they r all inside at d pool table. i really almost 'fainted' cos i was alone & it was dark alrdy. tt place is quite ulu. no hse nearby or near d bus stop. d bus stop is near a park. tt time i gave myself a time of a next cab in sight aft a few min if d bus still don come. i think i really made a too bold step cos i nvr figure out d location. i shld ve called my friend or cousin to accompany me even if i don wanna let my parents noe.

& aft dis car wash incident w d indian uncle trying to get in w so many things tt he shld ve notice d diff in car, i really think i shld not go for car wash, etc alone or to settle anything alone anymore. not to say outside but also settle things at home oso la. like for instance, d air con servicing which i had been wishin to call for. cos like for air con servicing for my parents' hse last yr, i was alone but thr r many technicians & in diff rm. hw can i 'supervise' all at once w things like keys, wallet, hp, etc ard d hse oso.

weird encounter at petrol kiosk

Today went back to ve dinner w my parents, grandma, godma & relatives. After dinner, while on our way back, dear tot of gettin a car wash & so we went.

Aft d car wash, we drive forward to let another staff to dry our car. s I was lookin at my side of window, I saw a man approachin & walkin nearer & nearer to d back seat at my side. I wad blurred cos he is not in d car wash team tee. Furthermore he was carrying a plastic bag which seems to b a loaf of bread. Thus I paid more attn to him.

Tt man is an indian uncle. He really come & open d back seat door so I shouted to him & ask him many times since he was attemptin to open d door, 'hello hello who u lookin for?' But d uncle jus wanna get in. 1 of his legalmost got in actually. As he was tryin to get in, not only his leg is gettin in 1st but his head oso. His face was facin me oso s i looked back & shout to him. Jus dk why he nvr 'hear' or 'see' cos even d car wash staff further away oso blur. Jus b4 he really got in, he den hear me & said 'sorry sorry same car' & closed d door & walk to d roadside. D car wash staff ended up laughin non-stop crunchin her stomach s she laugh. & dear was pissed by tt  uncle. Actually dear nvr notice d uncle till I shouted. Even w d doors all closed, I can oso hear d staff laugh & say 'same car'.

I totally don understand why tt indian uncle can 'mistaken' d car. he dk whoever he is waitin for got no car wash? Cos ours was jus being dry when he approached. Our car is still wet oso. Y I say this is cos in d end he waded to roadside. So he is not waiting for car tt is havincar wash. furthermore,  I shouted so many times to him. Y he nvr notice? I was oso lookin back at him & his face was facin me. We got eye contacts too. Is his eye sight not gd? Is his hearing got prob? Dear's car oso got hang scented bag on d hand grip above d door. It's dangling thr. Didnt d uncle notice tt diff? Ppl always comment tt our car smell nice fr all d scented bags which dear hang though we r both immune. If u say tt is no smell since dear & I r immune or not, but my mum commented ab d smell jus ab 2 hrs ago when we sent her & my cousins to d coffeeshop near my grandma's place. So not only d uncle' ears & eyes got problem? His nose oso got problem. I really don understand why.

Though we r in sg, I think to b safe, next time I drive I better lock d car doors. & I wont go car wash, etc alone. This is jus too insecure & scary to think ab cos u nvr noe wat d person's intention. Is it really pure mistake? I really dk.

accident & emergency call

Ytd met w d 1st accident of my life. While driving hm at am exit to another expressway, kena blk by a lorry tt broke down in my lane. Tt time was heavy traffic & thr isnt any notice of d lorry so by time I realise it s right in front of me. While tryin to switch lane & to take note to avoid d hazard sign, I knock into another car. Luckily nobody was harm & I jus scratched d car but at tt moment, I really not sure wat I shld do. All I can think of is to call dear & to take pic. In d end dear nvr pick d call & I forget to take pic of d pic of d car fr far. I oso nvr took down particulars of d guy or even his car plate no. Everything happened jus to sudden & fast.

Aft d accident, dis tot sudden strike me. At work or others, we need write emergency contact person. Usually we would write our closest ones like our parents or husband/wife. We will oso think of them when we need help or feels scare or hopeless. Did we note tt they may not b d ones who r able to pick ur call at d shortest possible time due to work, etc? Actually b4 d accident, I did call dear to cx if I really can get home w low fuel light & meter below  'E'. When he nvr pick up, thought of my colleagues & friends appear in my mind & I wonder if I shld ask them. so aft I got d accident it really makes me thinks tt 远亲不如近邻. But having said so, it may still b unavoidable tt we may still think only of d one which we wan d comfort fr. it is really so 矛盾 of wat u wish & wat u might get.

Last sun had a company lunch at MBS Todai restaurant. Actually there is 2 days to choose from. 1 at MBS Todai on Sun & another is at Marina Aquamarine on Sat. Chose d MBS cos tt sun more free.

S dear gotta work & couldnt go, though only I eat foc, he wished to go too but too bad. However, he seemed really keen & was like quite disappointed tt he couldnt go. & so I promised to treat him thr when he isnt workin.

& there I go again though jus 6 days apart to treat him today aft his class & we r really filled to d max w alaska crabs (red crab, snow crabs & king crabs), sashimi (tuna & salmon) & many others. & dear is v satisfied w his meal today. :)

Oso cos tt time he was unwell & d royce chocolate was expiring, I finished up but promised to get for him when he's well. It'd been actually like 2 mths since but I nvr get chance to buy. Since we r at mbs, we went to buy 3 diff boxes of royce chocolate. I m so glad I m able to keep & fulfil all my promise. Hehe.

a long long post

It is actually almost 2 months since i last update again. Times felt jus too short s usual. But w d change of job, it seems even shorter. Unlike workin in research lab, though thr could ve many experiments concurrently tt lunch may seems difficult, there may b times for ownself when durin some incubation, etc. However tt may not b applicable for all working in d lab. Mayb cos i was jus a staff rather than a graduate student, so my ex-boss nvr push me to read scientific journal & to think alot for new ideas though thr may b at times. Nw, work is really work. No time to pause or relax. D only time would b lunch. Ya. Thr r times i m alone for lunch but i would choose not to eat & go back immediately cos tt would b my lunch break. If i m back in office, other ad hoc tasks can come, ppl may need to purchase things or i b ask to cx on certain things which may disrupt wat i had to do & wat i planna do. It s really a challenge but so far i m cool w it though i was told i face weird or funny situation which my colleague who was in charge of wat i m doin also nvr face b4. i m really takin it s a learnin opportunity.

I oso must remain my cool & use some thoughts to deal w certain ppl. Ppl which could b guess by many others. Lol. D only thing i don like is tt my precious time is wasted due to tt certain gp of taichi great grandmaster & grandmasters cos i put in effort to cx in details. & i m really afraid cos of tt, i would ve to rush my other tasks & end up w many mistakes which i m not surprise if it really happened some day.

Durin work, time is limited. Aft work time is oso limited. Cos i can spent hrs a day on travelling & back hm, will still need find time for chores, assist dear if he need for his studym & oso need to try go back at least every weekend to my parents' place & even in-laws too. so really still feel lack of slp s ever. Mayb worse cos i always couldnt open my eyes while dear drive me to work. But though tired, i will try to rush all d chores at 1 go so tt i can try to catch some rest ltr on.

Jus last sat, while dear's at work in d afternoon, i practically did all d chores before headingback to dine w my parents. Also cos sun got staff lunch at MBS. Was actually plannin wat ti do aft i got hm & i expect to get home by 3. Was plannin for a nap, den sew dear's pants & serve d net awhile & watch drama. In d end only reached hm at 5.30 & couldnt do much. At least the lunch was fun.

Anw this week is a week of feast. Sun buffet at MBS Todai restaurant,  today a colleague's farewell lunch. & think fri thr is another lunch fo dk wat. But this is oso a week of deadlines... & I m glad I bought back an email to read & drafted out my JD form last night. Or I think I m really behind time. But it will stilk b a no no to bring work hm unless necessary. So far able to manage to cope on time though I may reply mail late.

I m nw tryin to save my leaves too. Think will wipe out all accumulated leaves in mid june cos b gg Europe. 1st time to travel to d 'west'. Though I don shop & nvr go for branded stuff, heard fr many tt d bags thr r cheap. But still no time for me to try do some research. Jus tot of getting cos since all d way thr & somemore it b so much more ex in sg s always heard fr ppl. So b wasted if I don right. But of cos not anyhow soend la.

My parents b gg taiwan & hk durin similat period & my dad asked me to help jom check-in to d airplane via online while I m at work & I never do b4, & w no info, & w criteria tt don fit fr d online check-in FAQ page. Great. Wat a wonderful task & timing.

Actually, at work, I realized parents always seem to be too reliant on their kids esp for all tech savvy issue & etc. I really hope I can keep up w at least d major trend sp I can jus rely on myself only in future. Cos I do ve d feelin impatiency & grumpyness when my parents assumed I noe it all & should & must help them & they may even b unhappy when I dk. Like s though I don wanna help & jus give excuses.  It is really not a nice feeling of d 'kid' lo. & I hope tt isnt wat my dad felt again this time wgen I told him I dk & need him to cx details so tt may I can try better but definitely not durin work.

changes

it'd been a really long while since i blog. months. b4 my weddin till nw mid jan of 2013. time flies. things changed.

mid of jan oso means 2012 was gone for 1/2 a mth le. & it oso means i been in a new job for 1/2 a mth le. alot of things ve changed within this 1-2 yr. & of cos for 2013 on, i shall strive to save up. m quite surprise tt though i had depleted most of my savins & earnin fr part time jobs & 1x bursary durin my uni, managed to actually help though not like 1/2 1/2 but at least managed to help in significant amt for d hse reno, furniture, electrical appliances, & oso weddin stuff. & we r totally loan free except d HDB loan la & dear's car's loan. nw tt all those were over, it's time to save up even for rainy days & mayb a honeymoon trip too.

anw, though i got a new job startin in 2013, i'm still stuck in d same place, same buildin whr i had been for d past few yrs despite diff roles. i'm back to confuse ppl again. haha. gotten dis job is really quite a blessin & gd fortune. towards d end of last yr, i got no time to job search but 1 day durin a briefin, bump to my dept DD & she asked once again on my contract duration then. it was d 2nd time tt she asked me & so i ask if thr is any position available & indeed thr is. i expressed my interest but at d same time worried hw to break d news to my boss (previous). but he not only was alright w it but asked me about d grade & encourage me to proceed. tt time, i alrdy passed him my weddin invite & i felt so bad cos i would leave like really soon aft my weddin break. last week at my new desk, my ex-boss saw me & he asked hw is my new job & some sort of if my new boss is ok. my colleague beside me heard tt & even till nw, she still said my ex-boss is v nice. ya. he's a nice guy. jus tt he is strict to his staff/student but cant blame him. he got to achieve his KPI & he got other roles s well. so i nvr blame him.

d reason y i took up dis job which is totally diff fr my degree is cos actually i don intend to stay in research for long. research depends on experiment. may not work at times & can b demoralizin. furthermore, i got no intention to further on for Ph.D & so unless i stayed s a PO forever if not i shall not expect too much changes in my pay or so. plus, d location is saturated ard west & south. all r so far fr hm. thus, i decided to swop to admin based job if i got d chance but though i got several part time b4, i guess is v hard to convince w/o pay cut or so cos all my part time r really short term. submitted several application but failed to get a response. so at least nw i get my fair chance to gain experience for future.

it's funny tt i decided & insisted tt i don wanna study anymore when ppl ask if i wanna pursue Ph.D & tt d degree is such a struggle for me but aft i cfm i will get dis job, i actually tot of mayb pursue a part time master or even a degree if thr is no higher grade. but tt is cos i was hopin to get a cert to further enhance my stand in such position or even higher if thr r better prospect. i guess i m really hopin i can save more also ba & also aimin to clear our housin loan in shorter time span & hopefully for a better future. anw, i shall c hw it goes. esp my savin plan for nw to further study oso need $. haha.

无能为力

sorry aunt. i noe u said b4 tt w/o ur generation of ppl, my generation of ppl nvr take initiative to meet up w our cousins. but aft dis incident, thr seems to b a v big gap btw ur daughter & son w us. i doubt i ve d ability to communicate w them & frankly speakin, i guess i choose not to than to makes my blood boils again.

太过分了!!!!

my blood boiled aft gettin a fxxxxxx rude reply fr a cousin. i m always tryin to b neutral & jus 1 ear in & d other out whenever my mum said tt she kan bu qi all of us. but aft d incident which she 不留面子for our aunt on a X'mas eve gatherin & her reply nw, think i cant b bother w her anymore.

X'mas eve, we always have gatherin & exchange gift. once, right in front of other & me, when she received a gift fr an aunt, she jus simply blurt out, '这礼物纸不是去年的吗?'. her younger bro stopped her & say how can she say like tt, & she replied, '根本都是吗。这明明是去年的。'so fr then, her present, i wont put in effort to buy.

my mum always say she come on CNY cos of angbao, & tt keep saying others gave her how much. & when my relatives were talkin ab my weddin date, she said tt mth she usually go holi, etc. but all i choose not to register.

however, d reply i got jus nw, is like tellin me she don ve d heart to come. her heart isn't w us. her parents divorce & she don wanna ve so much link w us. anw, i don care if she wanna come anot. if u don wanna come, jus say u go holi la. not like i will cx ur passport or so wat.

d whole episode happened in aug durin a gatherin, i asked my aunt aka her mum if she & her bro will come & to get their address & contact. however, my aunt cant cfm & don know their add. ok. nvm. nothing weird. cos my parents till nw oso cant write out my new add. so my aunt gave me their contacts.

knowin dis cousin, i choose to ask d bro 1st. d bro end up dk who i'm till i say i fr his mom's side & stay where. he den reply to ask me to check w his sis for his name & add cos he's workin. fine. i cx w her & she give me only 1 add which i noe is not whr d bro is stayin.

last week, aft my mum ask me to cfm w them their attendance & if need baby chair, etc. so once again, i sms them separately. i asked d bro 1st again. & he reply pretty quickly & said he may b workin & tt his dad & sis will go. thus, i asked hw i should address d invitation card to. he replied & said address to his dad but i don ve his dad's name & so i asked him again.

on d other hand, right aft i ask his attendance, i sms his sis to ask her too. & she replied tt she will be attendin w his bro's wife & baby & tt she's reply on his bro's behalf too & so his bro wont reply me. yet her bro alrdy relied me w diff ans. so i reply them separately, askin them to cfm & let me noe. she immediately reply to say tt their dad wont be attendin but thr is no news fr d bro.

aft like almost a week, there is no reply. so dis time, i sms them both tgt w 1 msg. sayin tt we will mail 2 cards to her & her bro & we will save 3 seats & 1 baby seat for them. But i would need them to discuss & cfm who will attend once cfm. i alrdy don care if lesser ppl will come. but y i need to noe who is attendin cos it's really impt. if their dad r comin, he wont wish to sit w my aunt. so we will need to swop my cousins fr another table with them so they will sit at diff table. we cant cfm tt only on tt day itself esp if all ppl alrdy come. it wont b nice to swop seats when ppl alrdy seated ma.

her reply:
'Shan Shan, as this is a happy occasion for you, I really do not want to say things too harsh, have to tell u, we have already informed who will be attending the wedding. So that will be the attendees. If possible please do not ask the same questions over and over again... Regards!'

hey, if you both give me a definite ans, do i have to ask again? ur bro nvr say ur dad not comin. he totally nvr reply my request for ur dad's name. so d ans is not clear. I also asked u previously if it's cfm tt it will b u & ur sis in law & baby but u oso nvr cfm. if u think i keep askin redundant qs, den in dis reply, u can oso jus say d attendees again so i wont ask. replyin like tt means wat?

dear asked me to reply her back say it's they who nvr cfm w us. bro say dad & sis comin. sis say dad not comin & tt she b comin w sis in law & baby. both ans r diff, & nvr reply a confirmation. but i guess i gonna listen to a friend, wait at least a day see if d bro reply. but i jus 咽不下这口气. i really wish to say back. i don care if she end up really not comin. i don 稀罕.

Good fortune

I have a really nice boss despite d fact tt he is always chasin aft us for results. though i m in dis place for more than 9 yrs, undertakin diff roles, i m so blessed to meet nice ppl ard. ya. thr r few tt don accept me but those ppl aren't impt. most impt r those ppl tt recognise me & my effort & thus givin me so many opportunities all these yrs esp since i quit to go back to study.

i can say dis is a place whr i can call s another hm yet i noe in long run, i shouldn't b here forever even if diff roles. but it's a place whr i can learn n fr current situation, allowin me to progress towards whr i would prefer to be. it allows me to grow up & learn here but i guess ultimately i would ve to leave though no matter hw reluctant i may it.

well, i feel so much cos i guess i will miss stayin w my parents though thr can b times i don agreed upon certain behaviour, etc which made me really upset. i actually feel like huggin them, & no matter hw i thank them & even those tt help me along d way is nvr enough to really express hw i m really feelin right nw. frankly speakin, i do feel like cryin right nw.

i guess all d gd fortune i had accumulated durin all d tough struggle in d past for those SOKA performance & being a leader is still embracin me. I must try to accumulate more good fortune b4 wat i had accumulated become depleted or gone into deficit.

wedding troubles

dis isnt jus all ab myself n my encounters but is wat i see fr others oso..

traditional chinese wedding will start off w d customary ceremony where groom come to pick d bride & d bride's jie mei will make it difficult for d groom n tt is wat we called s gate crashing. den d groom & bride will go to their home for tea ceremony before gg back to bride's side for tea beremony or even for outdoor shoot b4 returning. simply s it may sound but if got mamy relatives
den even if w/o outdoor shoot, may oso b v rush.

other prob can oso surface at d hotel or restaurant. like pen no ink, media cant play, laptop cant  connect to projector, mic quality poor, things not set, things forget bring. certain things r unavoidable, certain things r avoidable. yet thr still can have many other prob. like uncoorporative guests. guest who 自作主张, 自已为是 & assume can bring any no of ppl they wan despite ppl tekling them cant. but at least these r minority.

wedding is a once in a lifetime event. everybody w well state of mind will want their weddinv to b perfect. to b how they wish it would b. would participate n find watevet thry can. would find ideas.would b worry if anythibg would go wrong. yet today, now, i m at a most disorganise dinner at a really bad location or rather in a building tt ihas really bad structure design w confusing signs. d bride is fr laos so if she didnt care is undrrstandable cos she dk. but d groom, a fellow singaporean & he been to many dinner & b brothers for few times, yet he didnt care & leave all to hus coordinator n 4 bros to manage a rented ballroom arranged w 50 tables. emcees only come at 7pm n attempted rehearsal makin ppl blur b4 they stopped. d groom still wanna think of more ideas like popper when his bros r all shag out & tired.w last min role changes & additional of numerous tasks. w last min searching of all songs for march in, montages, etc. & his cocktail montage seems to b jus open d slideshow fr his laptop photo gallery w scenaries, other ppl, w table plan comin in when guest comin, w last min chsnges n shifting ppl fr 1 table to another, w certain tables where ppl r unknown where to sit & too msny to b named.

y i say d buildin is bad. lvl 1 no toilet. d toilet is deep inside d ballroom so w/o emtering d ballroom, there is no way to access d toilet. d card stated lvl 2 but they don wan ppl take lift up cos no space for recept. but i see ppl in wheelchair, w walkin sticks. d signage put is lvl 1 but there is only 1 restaurant thr. n there is another weddin stated at lvl 2. i came early to pass dear his shirt. i noe lvl 2 but blur when see lvl 1. i climb stairs up to see another function so i climb fown. not onlt i blur. ppl come take lift but saw lvl 1 sign n they wanna press lvl 1 in d lift. lift door openat lvl 2 they oso blur. ppl come uncertain of d chinese name n ask d waitress for d restaurant n they oso confuse n almost bring to wrong place. ppl oso commemt tt d toilet is v far. there is no seats at lvl 1 for ppl who came early. only got seats outside restaurant for restaurant.

d groom himself is like umsure of wat he wants n unsure of everything. florist close at 9 yet he wan to collect flowers aft. yet he wan bring his in laws to tour ard. book mpv oso book late. no car to chauffeur ppl ard fr laos like his in laws n so coordinator need to help him find driver but can last min chsnge plan. end up we only reach home at almost 11 ytd to iron dear clothes. for all these effort. is only worth angbao of 20+. haiz. y can there b such ppl ard???

a sad news

dis mornin, once i log-in my FB & looked at my neighbourhood gp, saw a really shockin & sad news. a lady seemed to ve jumped down w her few mth old baby & both were dead aft.

aft followin d posts & their threads, found they jumped fr my blk. & those who can see clearly were fr my units at diff lvl. OMG!!! it's still unclear why this happened but they anticipated tt they fall fr a lvl above me but may not b fr d unit above. not sure if 1 of d residences anot. but still 1 lvl up is still s scary sia. so near.

anw, someone posted d wanbao's 1st pg. d baby is a gal & jus 6 mth old only. somemore, d lady were only married since mar last yr. so newly wed & d baby is so innocent. ppl oso say based on d paper, think they werent a residence & they fall fr d highest lvl (25). well, guess cos my blk is d tallest amg d other blk fr d same proj.

nw is still lunar 7th mth & dis kinda things happen. d last i heard of such news was fr d place i am stayin at nw. i wasn't sure if i should really b tt glad tt i wasn't thr seein what happened for both time. but fallin fr such height, even if i m thr, even if i can try renderin 1st aid, think oso hard. nw can only pray & chant for them.

BTOs near parents

talkin ab far fr my parents, jus saw tt recent BTOs thr r near my parents one & comin sept will b even closer to them than d recent past BTOs. haiz. if not cos jus got d hse recently & within 5 yrs cant sell, if not i might b tempted to apply for the comin BTOs.

cos if so, den i no need to change job eventually, & if really in future, got kids, can let my mum to help supervise even if got maid or so. & at least i still can meet my friend for supper & walk home even aft mid-night movie or to go for swim tgt. i guess i gonna miss these gd old days cos less than 100 days, gonna b far away le.

but i got an idea, if possible, if dear gg meet his buddy for chat & drink at night, den i take his car to meet my friend & den go pick him aft tt to go home lor. but hope really got d chance. cos sayin easier than doin. haiz.

Seletar Mall

slowly fallin in love w my new place but it's still too far fr work & fr parents. but d consolation is tt thr will b a mall near me. less than 400 m away? & it'd been cfm tt thr will ve cinema too.

been following d facebook gp of my estate & always don dare believe when they say d triangular plot of land in front of a lrt stn gonna ve a mall cos tt land don look big. even when d chinese yao cai dian ppl oso say thr will b a mall i still don dare believe cos scare of disappointment. even when the wooden barrier ard tt land got the mall's name den i believe thr will b a mall but still i wanna see fr my own eyes & so i did last mon.

when ppl fr fb anticipate if thr will b cinema, i still don believe. even till someone said cfm got cinema jus duno which co cos fr inside story of his co yet i still don believe. even when ppl say cos got pic of a couple eatin popcorn & i oso see fr my v own eye on mon i still don dare to put too high hope cos tt land really don look big for cinema.

but today, saw link tt tt fb gp put & now i guess i believe. since it's in d news though online, so it cant b fake right? hehe.

'... ...
These include a Cineplex on the 4th storey, a food court on the 3rd level, anchor retail shops at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd storey, and a good-sized supermarket at Basement 2.

other than d distance to work & fr my parents' place & only 1 feeder service to khatib/yishun mrt, i still quite like d location provided drivin la. cos gg town, etc is actually quite near. but i guess i wont drive. cos no $ = no car. if sg don rain, mayb i might consider learnin motor bike cos cheaper than car though more dangerous. at least distance to work wont b any issue anymore.

小孩的天真

sometimes i really envy kids. they r so pure & innocent though they can b really mischievious. sum had a family gathering at uncle's place & saw d youngest 2 boys playing hide & seek. the youngest took time to find d elder one & when it is his turn to hide, he will repeat where the elder hide. the cycle repeats itself till all of us were laughing but still he don noe wat happen & cont d whole process. however s n adult, we arent suppose to make such silly mistake or rather we try v hard not to so tt we wont b laugh by others. tt's y i hate being grown up but we had to face it. time wont wait for us.

hope i wont b bias

i really hope aft all these incidents, i can still b s neutral s possible to all pr esp fr tt origin. it's not gonna b easy but i'll try my v best. cos ultimately, we r all humans. pls proof me so cos i really don wish to become bias esp if there r only some black sheeps.

Liar Liar

It takes great skill to b a liar tt can converse w a wonderful story 'impromptu' or do they rehearse & think of all possible question or wat will follow aft each sentences?

ytd, i got to noe of a colleague tt either she is lying to me or she is lying to another. but i guess most likely to me esp since aft previous incident tt she think i don wanna help her, she seldom chat w me or rather, she wont come & act pitiful w me.

ya. she is d one tt rather serve net, online shoppin, den end up complain boss push her for her thesis & so she gotta do till 4 or 5 am & comin in showin she worked hard & wanted us to pity her. & she is d one who wants ppl to repeat her experiment & put aside ppl's own experiment & yet when ppl don wan or wanna push aside hers, she would get offended & think ppl don wanna help. & she is d one who isn't happy when her original country is at lugi in d olympic while she is a sg pr. well, she is a graduatin phd & is currently converted recently as staff while waiting to graduate.

so, wat happen was last week, thr is a PH on thurs. on fri, i was told by another colleague, d one whom she was closed w tt she wont b comin in cos she was gg to bali for diving. & when she went to boss to 'apply leave', boss did ask if she got leave. s a staff, i noe tt leave is earned slowly. tt's y i've been tryin so hard to save leaves now. yet she give reason tt she is entitled to d leaves cos she like did more durin d thesis, btw d conversion fr student to staff. & eventually, think boss oso give up & said he pretend he nvr hear anything. tt means, any pro, she will have to ans by herself. i really feel she is really bold. like tt oso can? & she can go psycho d other colleague who jus become student to submit leave application form for boss signature & then don bring downstairs for processing, tt way, d leave will always b thr. @@ no wonder she can like go for so many holi.

anw, d thing is tt she didn't noe i alrdy noe she went for divin ba. so ytd, she came to 'ask' me if her eyes look diff. & den said is cos of mosquito bite den progress to say her husband kena many & allergic reaction till lymph node all swells. said her husband kena bite on a night & so i ask if got see doc. she carry on to say tt d followin mornin when her husband go for shower & found thigh area oso got swell on lymph nodes area & so they got scare & went to hospital. aft take med, swell reduce but her husband v tired w slight fever & so she keep takin care of him & thus didn't come back to work on fri & her husband keep feelin tired & slept for d next 2 days.

she even said she worried if it's dengue so i told her d symptom since my dad & i kena b4. & told her tt mayb she can try get mosquito patch, or those anti-mosquito gaghet & she said mayb but suspect only like take a mth of anxiousness den aft tt wont cont'd. & tt is v rare to get biten by such poisonous mosquito for such allergy in sg. guess, is only a really rare chance.

deep in my heart i wonder, u sure is in sg? tot u go divin? but since she nvr tell me, i assume i don know. so i nvr questioned her. but i did cfm w d other colleague when she go but w/o cfm i alrdy noe sure is tt weekend cos b4 tt she was ard. true enough, it's tt weekend. & she even viber tt colleague to give pitiful smiley face tt she miss her flight & need stay at airport 1 night to catch d next available flight. & tt was wed night tt suppose to be her original flight. so if she tell me, her husband kena bitten d night b4 fri, tt means on thurs, she is suppose to b in sg & on fri at a local hospital. yet, she was catching a mornin flight to bali on thurs mornin. WOW. POWER SIA. so which is correct?

I jus feel tt she is a v li hai ppl cos watever i can ask to carry on d conversation, she can con't her story w/o any loophole. like everything is pre-rehearse. guess, i need to beware of this person. if not, die oso duno how i die.

PR

Last night saw a neighbour (PR) also hang Sg flag outside their unit. quite surprise cos recently, a colleague of mine told me that she jus merely comment on d olympic, something not gd on a country & the other party originate fr tt country (though a PR now), become defensive to her own country. it really makes me wonder if Sg should really reconsider getting in so many PR without really selectin carefully.
