Today, I want to talk about modes of transportation.
I missed 4 buses in a row yesterday. See, I can either take 106 near my place, or walk to the interchange to take 7 to work. When I was nearing the 106 bus stop, 106 left. So I thought, better catch 7 if not I’ll be late for work. When I was on my way to the interchange, I saw 7 zoomed past me and I was caught at the traffic light junction. When I finally reached the interchange, a 7 was leaving. I ran for my life but it still left me (drowned in perspiration). And I had to wait for another 12 minutes before the next one came along. And another 106 would have left the previous bus stop as well.
When it did finally come along, I looked at my watch and gave the bus uncle a very annoyed look. And I was thinking, if only I have my own means of transport, then I wouldn’t have to go through all these. So, I’m determined to sign up for my basic theory some time soon and save enough money to get a car or something. But… along the way to work, I saw this car that crashed into a tree. And I start to have doubts again, especially since I have no direction sense and need a second or two to tell my left from right.
At work, my colleague told me there is a hello kitty airplane(http://evakitty.evaair.com/index.htm) filled with all kinds of hello kitty merchandise and even have hello kitties pasted on the airplane! And the in flight meals….you guessed it, hello kitty as well! It’s really very cute. Although I’m not a hello kitty fan, I would really love to be in that plane sometime. KAWAII ne! and speaking of planes, I once wanted to be a pilot (but I’m too short) and then an air stewardess (but I didn’t make the mark). So my adventure in the sky had to call quits until I found this job, which allowed me to travel occasionally. But that looks likely to end soon as we’re expecting a new china colleague.
Oh well, can only look forward to the blading session on Sunday! Feel the sea breeze on my face, feel the sun infuse vitamin D onto my skin, feel the (un)smoothness of each glide and count the number of calories burning, as I go “left, right, left, right, left, right….”

Confessions.....
Tommy goes into a confessional box and says, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose woman."
The Priest says, "Is that you, Tommy?"
"Yes, Father, it is I."
"Who was the woman you were with?"
"I cannot tell you, for I do not wish to sully her reputation."
The priest asks, "Was it Brenda OMalley?"
No, Father."
"Was it Fiona MacDonald?"
"No, Father."
"Was it Ann Brown?"
"No, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest says, "I admire your perseverance but you must atone foryour sins. Your penance will be five Our Fathers and four Hail Marys."
Tommy goes back to his pew and his buddy Sean slides over and asks,"What happened?"
Tommy replies, "I got five Our Fathers, four Hail Marys and three good leads"

Patience...
A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a three-year-old girl in her basket. As they passed the cookie section, the little girl asked for cookies and her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly, "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through -- don't be upset. It won't be long."
Soon, they came to the candy aisle and the little girl began to shout for candy. When told she couldn't have any, she began to cry. The mother said softly, "There, there, Monica, don't cry -- only two more aisles to go and then we'll be checking out."
When they got to the checkout stand, the little girls immediately began to clamor for gum and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be no gum purchased. The mother patiently said, "Monica, we'll be through this checkout stand in five minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap."
The man followed them out to the parking lot and stopped the woman to compliment her. "I couldn't help noticing how patient you were with little Monica," he began.
The mother sighed and replied, "Oh, no. I'm Monica -- my little girl's name is Tammy."
>>>> I hope this will not happen to me man. I think I’ll probably stuff something into her mouth to stop her from being a nuisance. Or buy a muzzle for her and put her on a leash and threaten to whip her if she makes so much noise.
I always know there is this violent streak in me. Keke

Enjoy the honeymoon....
News from TOday:
"A study in London has found that the honeymoon period for newly weds, before the arrival of children, is the happiest time of married life. After that, the magic soon fades.
But romantics can take comfort that, on average, every successful marriage benefits from a strong honeymoon effect, lasting approximately a year. "
Only lasts for one year?!?! that's like so depressing!

Confessions of 1 unmarried woman
I was very much looking forward to Confessions of 300 unmarried men. Firstly, coz I haven’t watched a (good) play in a long time. Secondly, I’ve watched Confessions of 3 unmarried women some 2 years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The men version is supposed to be the part 2 of the women. Lastly, it solves the problem of what to do on valentine’s day.
The play turned out to be okay. It’s funny but I got lost somewhere in the middle. This time, instead of a full plot like confessions women, it’s a string of short plays by 4 different playwrights and it gets really confusing when they end abruptly at one point and moves on to the next part. There’s even this kara-oke part where the 3 men take turns to lip-sync love songs. No doubt it is entertaining but lip-syncing love songs?? I guess I was expecting more.
The show opened with a teaser. “As we are about to start the show, please kindly switch off your mobile phones or turn it to vibrating mode as long as it does not affect the person sitting next to you.” something like that. Hurhur. Yah, that was the kind of humour the show had.
That aside, it does have funny anecdotes about why men chooses to remain single. Let me try to recall some of it…
1)Your dog is barking outside the door. Your wife is shouting outside the door. Who do you let in? The dog of course, at least the dog will shut up once you let it in.
2)My wife complained that there are too many electric gadgets in the kitchen that there’s no place for her to sit. So, I got her an electric chair.
3)The reason why I am unmarried is because, every morning I look into the mirror, I can’t even stand living with myself!
There were a lot more funnier ones but I can’t remember now.. It’s the kind of tickling humour. Laugh and forget.
So I asked mr. Goh what will be his reason for staying unmarried. Smart chap says none of those mentioned in the show applies.
The show did explore the topic about missing the “right” bus, but the analogy was that of a sushi conveyor belt. Disgusting thing they mentioned is, what happens when you pick a dish and it’s one that someone else has fingered. (I’m glad we didn’t have sushi for dinner that night)
So yep, a not-too-bad play for some vday entertainment I guess. Somehow, as the years move on, vday celebration is not that significant afterall. No candlelight dinner, no vday cards, no flowers for me this year and I’m not complaining. I read an article in Today and the writer (who worked as a florist) wrote that she had a customer who ordered two bouquets of flowers. One for his wife and one for his mistress. Another story is that of a girl overseas who ordered a box of chocolates online to be delivered to her bf here. When the delivery person reached the place, she saw that the table was set for two for a candlelight dinner. Yah, kinda sad.
So, what’s your valentine’s package? Hope it’s none of the above.

My love affair with fireworks display...
My love affair with fireworks had been amazing the past few months. Witnessing the national day fireworks lighting the sky from the four corners of Singapore on the balcony of Swissotel brought along a brand new experience of fireworks viewing. (To be exact, just 3 corners since we can’t see the displays at the back) Given the bad direction sense I have, it took me a while to figure out where the fireworks were coming from (yishun, tampines, marina). Then there was the Fireworks festival a few days after NDP.
And then I got the chance to light my own fireworks at the kelong during xmas. The fireworks powder is actually stored in this phallic looking “tube” with a long wooden stick to prop the “tube” upon shooting. We got the medium-sized fireworks which cost about S$10 per tube; all for that ten seconds of wows and oohs and ahs and oh my gods. The lighting up part is quite exciting, almost like lighting a bomb and then you’ll have to run off to safety after you lit it. We weren’t allowed to light the tubes when planes are flying by (the kelong is pretty near an airport). But can you imagine sitting by the window and seeing the sprouts of light and colour appear right before your eyes/reflected from the windows?? How cool is that. You may never ever get closer to fireworks than that.
But I was wrong, the New Year’s eve fireworks at the esplanade were even more bombastic. A full ten minute of fireworks display. They appear right before your eyes and draw you so much closer to them, as if twirling you into their vortex. Spell-bound. And then there was the CNY fireworks at esplanade too, for all the 15 days of cny. Singaporeans are really spoilt with the amount of fireworks over the past 2 months. Then again, I guess it’ll boost our tourism industry. (I was surrounded by Malaysians, Indians, Chinese and a few hongkong pp)
I don’t know when I first started to fall in love with fireworks display. The awe and fascination with something so beautiful but yet so short-lived (and expensive). You’d be kept in anticipation before the display begins and be surprised once in a while with the occasional outbursts. And you never know when the display will end but you’d wish it goes on forever. But I guess the best part of all is to watch it with someone you’d want to spend forever with.
I almost lost this love relationship with fireworks some time back; when I felt it’s such a pain to squeeze among thousands sticky and sweaty persons and I’m losing the effort to catch it. Plus, fireworks display got tired and there weren’t any for me to catch. It takes two to tango, really. To want to keep things together, to dance in sync. I just wish the music will not stop playing and we’ll still be able to catch fireworks display again next year.

It's been a while....
it's been a long long while since i wrote anything. wonder if anyone still stops by to take a look. (gimme a shout out if you do).
Anyway, to sum up how I have been for the past few months.. i'd say EXCITING (starting with the Taiwan work/trip and typhoon-August) and then HOMEY (spent more time with family and mr goh's family-September) and then October was quite a MESS (fell sick and kinda fell into some kinda depression combined with neurotic mood and sleep at 10pm habit) and now, November started on a good note with public holidays and cooking/baking/laughing/hip-cuppping at gracia's (Thank you gracia and mum for hosting us!).
We're almost reaching the end of the year again. Christmas decors are already up along orchard road and in the shopping malls. Seems like only yesterday when my dad flew back from Australia and spent christmas with us....

Fullerton Hotel stay :)
The long awaited fullerton hotel stay is finally here!!! *courtesy of miss poon, of course* the sweeties are really a lucky bunch. instead of chalets, we stay-over in hotels and become tai-tais for the weekend. feels great to be with the girls again. no matter how busy everyone is, we'll all make our best efforts to be there. zee suggested that we do something out of the ordinary.....so here's a low down on what we did during the stay.....
checked in in the afternoon, lazed on the luxurious bed! gaped at the huge bathroom and tall ceiling! and made ourselves totally comfortable. so comfortable that mich and miss poon kept zao-geng-ing. but that was alright, we had a good laugh. :) so when everyone is gathered, we decided to be shopping queens for the day and do some shopping since it's the great sg sale season! me and huiru have been wanting to get some really nice shrugs! and zee has got one which does not look "ah-ma-ish" and is pretty nice! (but in the end, me and huiru still didn't see any we like). mich got some nice and comfortable stuff from la senza though. I was quite amused by the fluffy pink/black thing in store.
then....steamboat buffet at joaqium restaurant! ate all we can... and in the midst of our dinner....guess who arrived into the suntec convention centre?? Senior Minister GOH CHOK TONG! and his entourage. other VIPs and all the hunky chunky bodyguards. (think huiru associates them with dogs) so the out of the ordinary thing would be to stand up and applause when SM goh walked by or salute him or something... heh, but we didn't. But we did ate quite alot during the buffet. esp the cakes! and desserts! sweeties all have sweet tooth.
the conversation during dinner was wedding wedding wedding. and wedding themes. miss poon happily said that her wedding song would be the thong song since it's her fav song at the moment. *raise eyebrow* and we talked about what are the things to look out for during weddings and how we will all be the bridesmaid and tekan the bride groom and how everything should be planned perfectly since it is going to be once-in-a-lifetime thing and sometime amidst all the discussion, we got a bit teary eyed. i think we will definitely need water proof mascara on the wedding night.
and we went to the games place again!! and pictionary gets even more hilarious everytime we played it. yun drew an animal who somehow resembled a cross between a cattle and some worm or something and we still managed to guess that she was drawing a bull! and she drew something like a dome and zee could tell that it was an igloo and zee drew some stick man with long neck and yun could tell it was the hunch back of notre dome!! amazing how brain waves connect. we should really have kept our drawings. and tried another game huiru introduced too... TABOO! hah this one also very funny. esp for the verbs. and yun was hilarious as she improvise and came up with actions and sounds that just made us laugh and laugh and laugh.
the next morning, went swimming in the pool. *mich, pls upload the photos!* i realise i can hardly swim without my goggles and i kinda swam in a zig zag fashion, from one corner of the pool to the diagonally opposite corner. sheesh. well, we've decided that the next gathering would be cycling/blading at east coast! and dinner at the east coast hawker centre with its great food!
til then!

Oasis Board Games! Pictionary!
Pictionary is a damn nice/fun/exciting game to play. Met up the girls to have dinner at liang seah zi char... yun just came back from europe nt long ago and gggoh came back from Philippines too (no, she is not a maid.) she was there on a mission trip, and came back with some pounds shed. mr goh suggests that i go for such trips too, for all the wrong reasons. heh, but that made me think of those days spent in Karimun, Indonesia... where i was there for a week, painting the schools, teaching the students english, telling them everything about Singapore, went trekking and crawling into bat caves (which made me realise that i am really claustrophobic) and so on and so on...
anyway, back to the pictionary game. mich, ru and fen were in one team, me, gggoh and yun another. and so the battle begins! Everyone is geared up to win the game. Pens ready, thinking caps put on and get set....go! we screamed, banged the tables, made a hell lot of noise... and it's interesting to see how different people think differently...
like...for the same thing that we are supposed to draw... there are soooo many different ways you can do it and soooo many different things that your team mates can guess (however inaccurate...) and i was supposed to draw an ice chest. so i drew an ice cube... then i drew a treasure chest like box....but not very effective...so i drew a macho chest. how would you have drawn it?
go try pictionary some day... :)

Batman Begins
Batman begins is really a nice show... esp when batman holds quite some significance for me and mr goh. and christian bale looks great in the batsuit! and this show is definitely 100 times better than mr and mrs smith (and their super over exaggerated invincible action moves, which i must say is quite badly choreographed esp the final shooting scene which made me want to stand up and shoot them dead instead).
went to emerald orchard food court for dinner. well, mr goh ate but i watched. and he had soem ridiculously priced bak kut teh $5! for a bowl of rice and 3 bak kuts. and he made me take a pic of his ridiculous bak kut teh....
went back office to collect stuff from the traffic counters.. the office is like a second home to me now... and i'm pretty glad it's in town...coz i get to meet people i know (sometimes), spoilt for choice when it comes to lunch time, and get to see what's happening in orchard road... (they put up fantastic 4 figures at the traffic junction at Heeren/Mandarin Hotel/Singapore Visitors' Centre/California Fitness over night! so I was quite happy that morning coz it's something colourful to add to my day in office.
overall, it's been a nice weekend... looking forward to the next....

Bumping into one another....
When i was on my way to work from home this morning, i waved to a stranger and smiled at him. No, i wasn't out of my mind.... i think i was more like half awake and thought he resembled a friend who stays near my place... so i gave him a "firm" wave and a bright smile. Only when i was like 5 steps away from him then i realised that it's a case of mistaken identity. so Paisay. Heng he was on the phone. He actually looked behind himself to make sure that i was waving at him n not some other chap. To make things worse, there was only traffic behind him and i could not pretend i was waving to someone behind him.... :(
I bumped into a primary school friend some nights ago. we used to be neighbours when we were still primary school girls. We'll go to school together, have lunch together, play hopscotch, zero point together, loiter ard after school together and go home together. It was nice seeing her after so long and finding out that she is doing well and all. pity we weren't as close as before.
then last night, bumped into another friend, miss xie. well, actually, i bumped(literally) into mr goh when miss xie enthusiastically called my name and i had the shock of my life and blanked out for a milisecond and bumped into mr goh. pleasant surprise.... :)
So i say... it's really nice to bump into friends when you're out. esp friends who hold a dear place in your heart.

Nolstagia
was at Holland V just now...made me realise how long i haven't been there. got some new cafes there which look really nice (must go there again sometime, for some relaxing moments) and there was still the old holland village shopping centre. I used to frequent HV a lot when i was in NJ. kinda like a studying place for me since it was rather near my house...my favourite hunt was starbucks. the smell of coffee keeps me awake and the staff don't really bother you.
was looking for a place to lunch, so went into delifrance and saw groups of acjc students studying there, preparing for their A levels. man.. A levels was like 4 yrs ago for myself!! i feel old.. and i saw the familiar TYS from redspot and what not. and i thought about the times i had to do those stuff and agonize over them. and i thought about my study kakis too.
and i just sat there for the afternoon thinking of all the times i spent at HV. sweet.

A levels was like 4 yrs ago for myself!! i feel old.. and i saw the familiar TYS from redspot and what not. and i thought about the times i had to do those stuff and agonize over them. and i thought about my study kakis too.

Woman at work
That's me at workdesk. time was probably 745pm and it was a saturday. was alone in the office coz my colleague has got a gathering to attend to and one of my surveyors worked an extra half hour so i gotta wait for her. The table was pretty neat when i first started working....but somehow or rather, it's very messy now. I shall keep a mental note to keep everything clean and neat.
watching american idol(repeat) in mr goh's room now. i must say carrie has power lungs but she sounds really strained and off key some times. thought bo did better. but oh well. she won. and what's with the dawg man?
tired...tmr still gotta work man... and big boss is back from tokyo! no more eating snake...

Happening saturday
It was quite a happening saturday and i'm back in the office today on a sunday to meet the surveyors and pass them stuff. anyway, last night was quite fun filled. finished work at 8 and went liang seah zi char to have dinner with mr goh since we were both very hungry and didn't want to go anywhere far. so there goes the planned romantic dinner for the night. shopped around bugis after that but didn't manage to get anything. we were arguing over what kind of office wear is appropriate to buy for work. he insists i shld get like shirts but i told him that don't have to be so formal and can get some nice blouses instead. so, i've decided to do my own shopping today without him. :)
met Hianzee at hotel intercontinental! and the funny thing was, we were both there to use the hotel toilet. *grins* It's nice bumping into friends when you're out. coz i feel like, there's some kind of fate thing involved, if you know what i mean. not those arranged kind of outing, but just there and then we meet and have a pleasant surprise. ;) serendipity.
went to geylang to have supper after that with jem, eric, mw and ty. was rather concussed then but felt that i shouldn't waste my saturday away. Not that i enjoyed the company very much or that i was hungry but most importantly, coz i want to spend time with mr goh.
I guess when you're working, you'll really start to prioritise and decide how to put ur free time to the best use.
Lesson number 2.
