Dedicated to Uncle Birdy & Harri...30/07/08

Yummy Yummy... Had a great dinner with the folks from Steerprop! Simple dinner but totally enjoyable. Guess I won't be able to see them much as I count down to my last day on this coming Saturday. Thankful to them for taking good care of me for the past few months, especially Uncle Birdy! Haha... So to Uncle and Harri, thanx a million! It's been a great pleasure working, learning and chatting with you folks! CHeers! Hope to keep in touch!

ANyway, guess you folks will be around for the commissioning of Hull 328. Ring me up or drop me a message if you guys have any free days! = )

Oh! I got the chance to meddle with Harri's EXPENSIVE Olympus SLR. Hym... Can't remember the model but it is real cool! When can I get myself a SLR too? Maybe I shd get rid of my old Olympus μ700. So any takers?! Haha...

*yawn*

Time to sleep!

5 more days... 29/07/08

Had a great swim at OCC last weekend. Can't believe I actually went to sun tan. Haha... Well, it was enjoyable though. For honor and glory, I must endure...

5 more days to the end of my Keppel attachment. Already starting to miss the place and most of all, the folks there. And of cause, 4 seasons too. Not really sure if I will be going back again as most of the folks there seem to be leaving. Won't wanna return to a place where I have to start all over again from scratch if given a chance.

Btw, had a great session with Kenny and Shawn. Was quite apprehensive about joining them on a dinner session but I reckoned it was uncalled for. It was great just to sit at the coffee shop after having KFC and tucking in on 10 sticks of chicken satay. I kind of been missing out on that for quite sometime, a simple meal and crapping session. I shall try snapping a pict with the 4 of us.

Oh! I managed to snap a pict of... Can't get a facial shot. I have another 5 days to achieve so...

I'm really glad with what's happening and developing. Once the circle is complete, it's time to move on.

And, I'm more or less done with my report. Got to work on some minor parts. I shall leave it for tomorrow. I'm so gonna... tmr.

Weight: 59.4kg
Target: 65.0kg
Remaining: 5.6kg

Shall post some photos on the lauching of vessel when I have the free time!

Rabbit & Wolf... 27/07/08

This is my first and only alternate Saturday off at Keppel! Happy and definitely loving it. Anyway, Harri smsed me sometime in the afternoon asking what I am doing during my off day. Haha... He misses me?! Haha...

Tried to work on my report but the progress was just too slow... Didn't really accomplished much except for another 1 or 2 pages. Got a lot more to cover tomorrow.

House warming at Claire's was great. The food was fabulous and the place is really very cosy! In fact, I would love to stay in one of those places if given the chance, just me and myself, alone. I would surely love the freedom. Of cause, the house comes with a cost, overwhelming one too...

Oh! I was glad to meet Wj with the folks as he seemed to be missing out on most of our gatherings. Didn't really have a chance to chat with him but I reckon this is what best friend means - regardless of how seldom we get to meet or talk, the bond is there.

And yes! I got to try Johnie Walker too! Well, can't say I'm a fan of its taste but I will surely grow to love it in the days to come. Seriously, I will... Not quite sure the difference between the Black and the Red labels. I'll go check it out.

Was running through the pictures in my personal folders and I realised that I took quite a few of my own footings on different occasions. They're not really very glamorous but I kind of like them. Haha... More to come in future!

Onboard H327 on the wheelhouse deck overlooking the sea.

Enjoyng the sea breeze @ ECP

Munching on all the left-overs @ Claire's place

Had a wonderful chat with Ms Ow as usual. Nothing beats a simple down-to-earth chat in the wee hours of the day... Thanx for listening to my truckload of crap from apples to rabbit, blah blah blah... And I dedicate the above picture to you! Haha

Anyway, there's another 2 more days to our one yr TW trip anniversary. Haha... I got everything penned down in my blog, http://plumynblossom.blogspot.com/2007/08/day-01-taipei-290707.html Miss those days? You bet but there's at least 700++ photos to keep the memories hanging for a while...

I guess there's no harm asking and clarifying on any doubts. There has got to be a reason to the doubts or whatsoever. It might actually mean something. v('o')v Cheers!

Like I've been saying these days, I'm happy for my folks around me. Looks like there's another reason to be. The circle is almost complete. Perfect... Well, I'm drowing in my own thoughts soon. Time to tuck in. NIght!

P.S. I LOVE YOU FOLKS

The Boy... 24/07/08

I'm masking as I am writing this entry. Been a while since I last pampered my face with the blue coral mask, courtesy of Ms Ow. Anyway, the mask is almost empty. *hint hint* Is there any citrus flavor?

I finally get to finish the book which I bought at the Book fair @ Expo. It's quite a nice book. Though it's fictional, I could draw some parallels between myself and some of the characters in the story. Shall not elaborate too much. Just wanna say that I enjoyed this book quite a bit that I ordered its VCD from Amazon. Hopefully it arrives soon...

I've been to IKEA a couple of times. In fact, I went yesterday too, after my dental appointment. I kind of draw satisfaction just by hiding my stuff in boxes so I ended buying close to 10 over boxes in just 2 days. No regrets though...

Reckon by now that most of my folks know I love brown colour. Yes, I love brown colour but not quite obsessed with it yet...

Haven't had the opportunity to meet with Uncle Birdy and Harri until today. As you can see, we kind of communicated using the piece of A4 paper posted outside their room. Everyday when I went over to look for them, I would leave a note on it with the date and time. Guess Harri kind of went along with it and doddled some stuff on it too!

Harri's been rather chatty nowadays. Can't believe he actually spent one whole hour showing me photos from Finland. It's not the first time but today has surely been the longest. He was showing me the snaps while Uncle Birdy was catching up on his maiden sleep. Oh! They slept at about 5 this morning since they had some trial the day before. Only one word, "Professionalism" - they're the only vendor onboard today.

Oh! I did OT till 630pm! Been a while but I surely do not miss doing OT at all. But staying behind with the Steerprop folks is always fun and rewarding. DOn't think I will be having much of an opportunity since I'm leaving soon. =(

Harri asked if I have any plans after graduation like travel for a year? Hym... I would surely love to if I can afford it but well... there's thousand and one reason to suggest otherwise. Still I told him I'm saving for my trip to the big apple... It seems unlikely, almost impossible to achieve. Well...

Alright, got to go. Mask is almost too dry and I have the report to work on. Haiz...

Satisfied... 21/07/08

Bought all the boxes needed from IKEA after work and was already busy packing my room at 8. Took about 1.5 hours to finally hide most of my belongings into the boxes, away from my sight. Though my room is still in a mess, I think it's much better than its original state. In summary, satisfied...

Anyway, thanx for the vases and flowers. They are nice!

WOrk has been rather... slack. Didn't accomplished much at all since the vessel is out in the sea right now. Oh! Harri just smsed me not long ago...

Harri: "Where is Boy =) Something failed on other main drive and we are coming back tomorrow. Maybe I'll have to move to Singapore :)"

Boy aka ME!: "haha yes uncle Harri! I'm packing my room. I wanna cry. It's so messy. Why is everything breaking down? OOps.. yes, I think you should move to Singapore. I can rent you my room. It's quite near to the yard. Haha... = P"

Harri:"Are you moving if you could rent your room? I need lot of space for all my plants. Do you have single big sister :)"

Boy:"haha sorry uncle, I have no single elder sister. Oops... would you consider single elder brother? haha haha..."

Harri didn't reply me as expected. Haha... ANyway, I'm gonna miss the Steerprop folks when I end my internship.

Time flies and my holidays are ending real soon. Have to start working on my report since I devoted the whole of tonight packing my room.

I would really love to travel, hopefully sometime soon. And perhaps, in near future too. Have tonnes of reasons to. I reckon travelling away from here is the only escape or exoneration from all the responsibilities and worries. Call me a "runner" or anything you can come up with. Sometimes, they just seem too overwhelming to overcome...

" fly away

I'm happy with the turn of tides. As long as it remains this way.

By the way, it's COMPOTE. Don't be an earnest reader. You should know what I mean.

Cheers!

P@@Ping tom... 20/07/08

The gym session was great. I must say I was a bit anxious about it as I've never really been to a gym to workout before. The gym was quite deserted and the music blasting in the background was soothing to my ears. In summary, I love the place and would like to visit it again. Thanx to my breastie... Oops I mean Bestie for the company.


What followed was a swim at YCK swimming pool. It was like any other regular swims but what happened in the changing room took me by surprised! Guess no one can believe it as I was peeped at when I was showering after my swim. Yes?! I was peeped at!!!

Er... Was finishing my bath when the guy in the cubicle beside me tucked his head under the partition. I was utterly shocked and dumbfounded. The fag signalled to me not once but twice to... I didn't really know how to react to it but my middle finger came pretty naturally. All that I could remember was that my heart was pounding in my chest and I felt vulnerable. I changed into my clothes asap and left the cubicle only to find the guy eyeing me as I stood in front the mirror to do my hair.

Seriously, I was really kind of freaked out. Though being nude in front of guys is quite a regularity in NS but for this, it's totally totally humiliating. I've concluded never to visit the notorious YCK swimming pool again, unless accompanied by another guy.

Anyway, had went IKEA dna Giant. Got a small box to house some of my books and stuff. Planned to tidy up my room by today but I guessed the ordeal proved too much to overcome. Just realised that my room is in a real mess! KInd of impressed by my ability to survive through the mess. I've decided to drop by IKEA tmr after work to get some more boxes. *pissed*

And I bette start on my report too if I wanna visit Claire's house this weekend. Hym...


T.I.R.E.D

Oh! Mich is trading 8 Days magazine for a fraction of your effort in helping her get a packet of _ O _ _ O _ _. Go figure it out yourself! Cheers!

135km/hr ... 19/07/08

Driving at 135km/hr was definitely a thrill. The trees by the sides of the road were zooming past at lightning speed and all that I had to do was to focus on the road infront. Simply exhilarating!


Had quite a bumming session at work today. Was onboard watching Kung Fu Panda. Though I was like half asleep throughtout most of the show, it was still quite an experience watching a show during office hours. And trust me when I say I do not get to do so much.

Went to watch the Dark Knight. Glad to be able to arrive in the cinema in time if not I'm gonna watch the show again. Anyway, anyone who has seen the first installment should go catch this one. This is so much darker and intriguing than the first. Wonderful movie!

Hym... Been watching movies every weekends. Guess its time to put a stop to it since sch is starting soon. Oh perhaps after Mummy?


"It felt kind of awkard. Can't help feeling ... It was almost like the Brooklyn Bridge connecting New York City and Brooklyn was missing. I can't help feeling stranded. I should have been wiser in making my choices and know what I have signed up for in the first place. Well, I'll make sure history doesn't repeat itself. Or at least I try..."

??????...18/07/06

TOday's tuition started early and ended early too. Apparently Jos had made plans to meet his friends for a dip in the pool. Seems like this friend of his is moving out of his condo for 6 months and it's gonna be a while before they get to meet each other. Didn't know the bond between them is so strong. I guess this is the beauty of childhood.

Quite surprised to find myself staying behind and chatting with Jos' mum. We started talking about the Jos' progress in his studies and I have no idea how it got diverted to other stuff like Jos's elder bro, Jos' mummy's work etc... It was great to get to talk to someone much older than myself who have seen much of the World than I have. The down-to-earth talk was worth the half an hour spent standing by the study table.

Anyway, Jos' mum was complaining how the school is pushing her son so hard - the never ending pile of homework tasked by the teachers. And how she feels that the school isn't putting enough effort into other less "potential" classes. She can't helped feeling sad for the kids in those classes. To hear that from someone who seems to have almost everything in life is rather... "interesting".

We went on to talk about how a child's family brought-up dictates his or her societal status in one way or two. I can't help feeling happy for Jos for having such a good mum who kind of fits every bill of an excellent role model. Though Jos always complain about his Mum, I reckon somewhere down the line he will understand how fortunate he is as compared to others.

One thing led to another and my internship at Keppel soon came into focus. She asked if I'm planning to return to the company upon graduation. I've been thinking about this question as well and I kind of decided when she said Keppel is a good stepping board for those that wanna stay in the marine line. Of cause, she added that much would depend on one's interest and passion. That kept me thinking to myself... "What do I hope to achieve?" Honestly, I'm still searching for the answer to this question and I have clearly failed to find the answer to that. I think I am taking too much a time to decide and I better get my act together. Haiz...
Anyway, beginning to miss my intern experience at Keppel. Not so much of the work but the people. Been very grateful to the many mentors that I have been attached to. Like Thanallan. He has been my first line of defence when it comes to the countless arrows that have been shot from the superiors. A big "Thank you!" from the bottom of my heart. I sure hope the one day JB tour with him and a few other folks would materialise. Seems rather impossible but fingers crossed!

For now, I just wish to enjoy the remaining days of my internship at Keppel.

Too many thoughts in my mind and I'm not sure how to pen them down... Hym...

*bloated*... 16/07/08

Sometimes truth hurts more when being said then received. Perhaps it is time to stop being true and be someone that people are most willing to accept you for.

ANYWAY, got snapped at over by 2 people in a row. Seriously, I didn't signed myself up for it. I'm not going to hear a single matter with regards to... ever again. =P

I'm taking a step back, for good.

C.H.E.E.R.S for peace and harmony

And don't come asking me anything about my entry.

Poisoning in Progress... 15/07/08

My heart melted when I heard my mentor saying tht he wanted to fight for my chance to go on a sea trial after understanding that one intern actually followed on the previous trial... I'm just grateful for all his help. Seriously, he has been very nice and accomodating towards me. I shall try to snap a picture with him before my last day in Keppel.


Did OT till 9 today. It has certainly been a while since I stayed till this late at work. I think I will kind of miss the days that I spent in Keppel once this internship comes to an end.

Hym... Just very tired of everything... Got a series of irritating sms around evening. All I can say is, I asked for it... Maybe, all that I ask for is just a helping hand but I guess I got more than I asked for...

Anyway, either my weighing scale is spoilt coz it seems like I'm actuall putting on weight. I reckon the reason has to be the former. Haha...

Been going out for the past 4 weeks. Shall reserve this coming one to myself. I need that personal, quiet time to myself...

It's been a Great Weekend... 13/07/08

It has been a great weekend. Been looking forward to it as I agreeded to catch Red Cliff sometime last week. It has been a while since I sat through a chinese movie. Well, needless to say, Red Cliff, is definitely a show everyone has to watch as I watched it twice. Yes, I actually watched a chinese film twice. I guess this explains how good this film is.

Been watching movies for the past 4 weekends. I think the number is going to increase in the weeks to come as there are some cool films coming up like Mummy and Batman. Hym...

Dinner at Tao was great the day before. Wanted to snap a couple of more pictures but I guess my starvation has gotten the better of me as I tucked into most of my dishes before I had the opportunity to. Anyway, you guys should visit the restaurant at least once. Be pampered by the 7 course dinner and the hospility of the staffs. You won't regret it but I'm not too sure when it comes to your wallet...

The appetite of 11 people is rather intimidating especially when you have me included. There and again, I think partly due to Veron too as she and YJ alone contruibuted to most of the coloured plates in the picture above. Her appreciation for sushi is undeniable. Haha...

Million thanx goes to WJ for his presents from HK, especially the fragrances which I asked from him.

Oh! Speedy recovery to Lorraine too.

It's MONDAY BLUEs again tomorrow...

Hym... Think I spent over a hundred in just one day. Therefore, the exigent problems on hand include cutting down on my impulsive spendings and my weight gain management. Haiz...

*disappointed*... 12/07/08

Well, kind of disappointed over the whole event. Well, the quest continues... and continues...

My agenda for this holiday has more or less been completed. Just need to to have a little more patience.

*no title*... 09/07/08

I'm TIRED of EVRYTHING...

220V shock of my life... 08/07/08

Got a 220V shock of my life! I actually got electrically shocked a few days ago. In fact, it was just the day before and guess what, I got "one" again today.

Was fixing some light bulbs with my mentor yesterday when I accidentally touched an open contact and got an instant '"wake-up"call. Well, needless to day, it left my finger with a burning sensation for a while. The message is, never ever play with electrical sockets!

My intern days are quite limited as I am leaving on the 2nd of Aug. Seriously, time flies. Too bad I can't go on the official seas trial this time round again. ANyway, I didn't have any hopes too. Just gonna miss Uncle Birdy and Harri as usual. It's kind of sad as Harri is starting to talk to me more often considering the fact that he was actually quite reticient and seems to embrace solitude pretty well in the beginning. Well, I hope I can see them for my remaining days in Keppel.
Wondering why I posted the 2 photos in my blog? Actually, nothing special. Just kind of miss hugging someone. Be it your parents or your friends or your loved ones. Like I mentioned before, I will teach my kids to embrace hugging as a part of life, provided I have any to begin with.

Can you remember when was your last hug? Please do not include your daily hug with your beloved bedside partner: the bolster.

And yes, I'm elated. I'm seriously happy for a friend of mine. If I am asked to quote an example to explain it, it would like receiving a wedding card from a best pal of yours. Yes, it's that joyous an event or rather in this case, piece of information.

Like I always say, loving someone is giving the other partner the authority to hurt you and hoping he or she doesn't. I'm definitely no love guru but when it comes to BGR, I will always give it a try. Of cause, a calculated try.

"...My momma always said, 'Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'..." You should know what I am driving at. Sometimes, it's really not that complicated and "It's complicated" is a pretext that the youths of the new century seem to over-use.

In summary. I'm happy for you and for me. =P

Period.

Handjob... *Hancock... 06/07/08

Sleeping at 2 the day before is really a killer if I have to go to work the next day. Thank god I'm on off today.

Woke up at 9 when I wanted to wake up at about 12 or 1. Guess my body has been routined to waking up at after sleeping for just 5 hours. No idea why but I actually put my cell to silent mode the day before. I was glad it paid off.


Settled my lunch at JEC before looking for some things to keep myself occupied. Glad to have my BF to keep me company as he agreeded to go for a movie, Hancock. Wasn't really keen on the show after hearing some negative feedbacks from my folks. Well, I think notorieties of boredom has been verified.


Not to mention the swim that I did before taking a cab down to town. The pool was packed but I still managed to do my frees and breasts... More to come in the days to come...





Seriously, I had a wonderful time watching Hancock. Despite the feedbacks I gathered, it's actually a brilliant show. Given the fact that it is just 93 mins, the movie has been well-filmed and the plot has been well-dictated.


Maybe it's just me but I have some thoughts of my own after the show.


I think it's important to feel accepted and appreciated even if it is just a simple complement like,"Good job" or rather "Thank You". I guess individuals leave their company of friends largely due to the fact they are not accepted or acknowledged. Embracing someone who is different is important even if he or she is different in ways that are off the norm. At least that's what I reckon. Don't ask me to elaborate further...

Anyway, one of the best scenes I love from the movie was when Ray Embrey and Mary Embrey were dining with Hancock. I love the point when Ray was describing how he met Mary in the supermarket. That moment was just heart-warming. It just showed how much an impact an individual can make in someone's life. Only one word, "Romantic". When is my turn coming?

In summary, I loved the show. Still, I would rank Wanted above this though.

Read an article on The Sunday Time's "Sloppy Singapore". If you have the chance, do get a chance to read it. Haha... Anyway, the article is talking about the shorts-and-slippers combo that is very much prevalent in Singaporeans. To be honest, I was an advocate. I remember talking to Mich about it the day before on my sense of dressing - the usual sloppy shorts and T-shirt plus a cheapo slippers. Haha... I guess I value comfort over every other things. Maybe I should make a change from now on...

There and again, this shorts-and-slippers combo can in fact be a national identity. Trust me, I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Been wondering about our national identity recently and I can't help feeling that it has pretty much been eroded by the invasion or influx of... (my boyfriend shd know who I am refering to). So, this unique dressing culture may well be beneficial than detrimental. Just to quote from the papers," ... someday we'll see our reigning beauty don this 'national costume' at international pageants." It may just come true somewhere down the line!

Anyway, I'm going to die tomorrow. Kind of regret talking on the phone till now. *DEAD*

R.I.P

tired tired tired... 06/07/08

Had a great dinner with the folks to celebrate Zhi Wei's Birthday. Didn't catch the name of the cafe that we visited but all I can say is that the food was great and the price was affordable. Of cause, only with a Citi Bank card holder that is to say.

I'm seriously tired... My eyes look teRRIBLE! Trust me, TERRIBLE!

Keppelitis... 05/07/08

Been bumming around at work recently. Perhaps its the fact that there isn't much to be done since the vessel is more or less ready for delivery. With just less than a month left, I guess I'll be slacking around much more often...

Took a couple of pictures when i was onboard. Of cause, I'm not supposed to. There and again, as long as I don't get caught ya? Typical...

Does the picture explains the meaning of a silver lining? I'm not quite sure on the meaning of that but anyway, I love taking pictures of the sky.

Think I have mentioned that the Black Knights that do the archrobatic flying practice over the skies of Keppel Singmarine? There you have it, they are decoating the sky with the "heart" just like they did, during the Asia Aerospace 2008.

The wheel house refers to the place where the captain controls the vessel. Haha... I was pretending to be one. Pretty cool ya?! All the gadgets and control panels.

Received a present from Harri! Haha... He's the Finnish guy that I have been talking about. I wasn't sure what it was as he packed it in a plastic bag from the local med store. He said it was some stress relieve pills for me. Haha... Anyway, it's a very nice gesture of him. I was clearly pleasantly surprised.

It is a brainy toy. Seriously, it took me a while to figure out how to assemble the wooden blocks together to get the "star". It was fun but not too fun... Hym... think I better get going. Meeting the folks at 715pm at City Hall. I can feel my sore throat coming back - Keppelitis. I hope I don't end up eating some fried food which I simply can't resist. K...

Got to go. Ciao!

ACHING... 04/07/08

My legs are aching. The best part is, my arms too! Think jogging without proper warm up is detrimental. Still, I'm satisfied. I've never quite jogged this much other than the army half marathon when I was in army...

Maybe I need a new pair of shoes...

HUNGRY...

MacRitchie RUn...03/07/08

Been wanting to go for a run at the MacRitchie since the start of this week and I finally got to do so.

The vessel that I have been working on is back but seems like everyone's on a holiday mood that that includes my vendor too. So, I managed to leave early again! Oh! They are taking a day off tmr so I think I shd have no trouble going for my tuition... finally...

ANyway, back to my run. It was a run to remember. Wasn't quite sure how much I wanted to run but once it got started, there was practically no end...

The brown line indicates the path I took when I got started at about 615pm. As you can see, I covered about 5.4km from my car park to the HSBC tree-top walk. Hym... Was really glad to have my ipod to keep me company. My only issue was that the ear piece was a little soaked with my perspiration and that they kept slipping out of my ears as I ran. Perhaps I need a better pair of better grip?

I got so carried away with my running that I thought I could make it back to my car before night falls. Well, I was clearly wronged... It got so dark that I had no choice but to run to the expressway and ran along the perimeter back to my car. Er... I'm not sure the distance I covered in the return trip as demarcated but the green line but I reckoned it was about 5km too? Had a couple of stops during my reutn trip as my legs were simply, terribly over-utilised...

Still, I was satisfied. I should really keep to my routine of dedicating a day for swimming, jogging and another for gym-ing. As usual, nothing lasts long for me but I shall see how long this will last.

DInner was okay, nothing special. Just looking forward to the weekends. Bum and movie!

... 02/07/08

Finally did my little errand the day before. I ended up spending close to $60. *speechless*

Received a sms at 1 in the morning the day before It was from Harri. Looks like I'm the latest errand guy ya? ANyway, got it settled today too. Guess my honeymoon has officially ended since the vessel is said to be back tonight at 9pm. Hym...

It still daunt on me. Going to take a while.

Can't help thinking over the suggestion... Petrol prices have been risng man! Ridiculous...

Tuition on Friday. Been a while. Maybe I shd start another assignment if I wanna...

The quest continues...

Down... 01/07/08

I have quite alot in my mind now. Where shall I start?

Met my mentor today. He looked real perky and invigorated. Guess the long rest from working has clearly shown through the radiance on his face. Anyway, it was definitely great to see him again. Afterall, he was the one who took care of me when I was attached to H327.

Saw my fellow intern folks outside HR in the morning. Apparently they were filling in the forms to claim their pay for the sea trial they went sometime back. My heart sank when I learnt about the fact coz actually, I yearned to go for H326 sea trial. Hym... But I guess this can't be helped as I also learnt that no intern was to be allowed on vessel I was workin on as the ED was onboard. (More like ET if you were to ask me) GUess this made me felt alittle better though part of me still... ANyway, I have been bumming around for the past 2 days while the vessel is out in the sea. I guess not going on the trial is indeed a blessing in disguise.

My folks have been complaining and reprimanding me for doing insane number of OTs recently. Well, all I wanna do is to earn more though I know the OT pay is norminal. All that I want is to... ASAP. Of all people, they should know better than anyone else. I know they are showing their care and concern for me. I'm just torn in between...

Oh with regards to my blog title, there's a couple of reasons to it.
1) My weight went DOWN since I started working. I'm officially 3 kg lighter...
2) My level of zest has gown DOWN.
3) My appetite has gown DOWN.
4) My savings have gone DOWN.
5) NUmber of laps of free and breast that I can do has gone DOWN too.

Basically, all that can go down, have had.

Had double blows from my best pals these few days. Heard something which really felt like a knife aimed straight for the heart. If you ask if its bleeding, you bet. Guess nothing hurts more than hearing from the pals you are close too. There and again, what's your criterions for a best pal? I'm lost... Maybe I'm EMO-ing (term I gathered from a friend). I think the situation I am in happpens at times. All I hope for is that it's occurence is not periodic and frequent.

Btw, I had a little incident that got me reflecting upon myself. Perhaps I am like ... that pisses people off at times. Haha... I am definitely learning how it feels like to be the receiving party. Well, don't bank into a bank when it's not bankable. What am I talking about?

Maybe it's the time of the month again.

Sometimes I ask myself why I look forward to going at work, like looking forward to meeting Uncle Birdy and Harris. I realise I don't really get to help in such stuff.
