Last post of the month... Thou it's the 1st time i'm writing this from my N80ie (using home network). Been having dizzy spells since sat n this really the 1st time i've got the feeling of 'earth-swirling' kinda of faint spells, luckily din really blackout.:) anyway got home earlier than usual to rest (under the orders of many loved ones), n to sleep more!
guess i need to keep up with my resolution to get out in the sun n exercise more other than chasing buses haz..
Finally catched a movie with my lover nest, thou the pirates show wasnt as nice as expected(n both of us ended up giddy with seasickness ha), at least spent some solo moments with her.. Also been trying to stay as long as possible at my place with my beloved neighbour Eunice blessing me with ai xin breakfast n sweet sweet herbal tea:)
Glad that mdm is back at office, thou it's never the same again with a newbie boi (between us) haha.. we'r no longer 'only 1' to each other liao.. Awaiting mao mao's owner to be back, to offer me the much needed shield n comfort to lb..
With the seating arrangement still pending, hope that mao mao's return will bring along good news in June!
to be continued.:)
p.s. N hope my driving lessons will finally kick start in june!

WHy....so drastic....
Should hv posted one entry last week...anyway Mayday started with bursting news at work. It began on last friday b4 lunch when dodo informed us he cant join us for lunch as there's 'team lunch' for him.. tot it's the usual TL lunch for him until DLB asked tart to join too... Dodo updated us with the 'trim and fit' program, whereby we were shocked at the drastic move of one of the LB...Seems like they r really making drastic moves in this 'trim & fit' program where we r to grow 'laterally' and 'taller' for some.. As for me.. my LB called me to go over, when we were abt to leave for double o..i somehow guessed it and that's muz be the most 'dreaded' walk over to her place.. tried to distract her with other stuff b4 she told me abt the news. I shld be happy abt it, but somehow.... only welcomed the 'lateral' growth rather than the change in position... as i dun tink i deserved it.. entirely.. in any way, when i asked her if its like too soon, (guessed she felt the same too), she only said that it's the company decision/move to retain pple.. guess the only thing i can do is to really work harder and be humble as team member advised..
Din reallie know how to break the news to the rest as i know nest wld be real disappointed as im for her.. but still told them over the wire b4 we left for double 0... so thou the whole nite out was quite fun..can sense the moodiness.. anyway me and germ left early since i hv my basic theory test the next day while i guess germ wld like to spend the 1st mmts of her bdae with her other half..
05.05.07 seems to be a 'special' day bah...Woke up real early for my Basic Theory Test thou im still nursing a bad headache from the nite b4... luckily i passed it with my Best Friend and got my PDL on the date which is my mama's and germ's bdae. Went back to nap awhile thou i cant get any sleep at all as im still thinking of the drastic news.. somehow, cant really accept the fact... somehow feel that the 'accelerated' growth might nt be good for me if i cant live up to it.. anyway, went to attend the 1st church wedding -mos's wedding at his childhood church. Can say its quite an experience as i tot it'll be juz a solemn ceremony but the couple kept singing and singing at the 'service' which some songs r quite nice.. catch up with my uni classmates, some i hven seen for nearly 2 yrs since graduation day.. haiz... how time passed...
Went to Jie's place to celebrate mum's bdae with take-away pizza, and other food stuff like a mini party.. too bad brother is at field camp and not out this weekend..
The week after started off with a series of meetings and i hardly gets any chance to talk much to mdm.. Anyway i was out at the usual monday mtg when the news is formally out..so by the time im back to office, feel super weird when pple start to 'congrats' me..expected a long 'trim and fit' list and it turned out to be one with slight surprises too.. gotta accept the reality for now..
With 1 more day to go b4 mdm goes o leave.... hope tt i can survive these coming days without any major crisis.

That I Would be Good
"Give me the courage to speak as I stand
And spew, my continuous unwavering thoughts
My belief, my 2 cents' worth
The courage to be the one who withstands
All my ideas of a great man
To be the best even if no one is watching
To run as fast as my legs would take me
Even if, I'm the last to cross the line
To let myself die a little
When you take that part of me away"
Shifted the mini-hi fi into my room last last weekend, and hv been blasting the under-utilised machine ever since. Still missed the previous old SONY hi-fi where I can play 3 cds and there is this karaoke function so i cld sing along with the music. Anyway, spent the weekend singing alot of 'oldies' in my room, though strictly speaking, are onli stef and Jay's past albums..Realised that I've to refer to the lyrics booklet now and then as I've lost touch on the songs I used to sing without missing a word hahaz.. guess this spells someting.. either im geting old, or really these songs r getting yesteryear liao?? haz.. I supposed each phase of ur life are accompanied by different songs at the point. Like Stef's debut album reminding me of my JC days, Jay's hito Fantasy album signifying the happening start of my uni life, Stef's 'Start' and 'to be continued' albums bringing me comfort in my 'transition period' when i was 21. And the latest album 'Against the Light'... for some healing effect. Still prefer the older songs thou as they remind me of the good old days...
Bro came back from camp last friday and his head look super small without the hair hahaz.. he got to spend 4 civilian days due to the PH, but wun be coming back for the next weekend. So we went to Vivio for advanced Mother's Day cum MaMa's bdae dinner at this 'No signboard' Rest. Crabs r quite big, prawns r yummy and we had a super full dinner....happy:)
Bro and jie talked abt the recent movies they've watched and im quite surprised that even Bro who's 'trapped' in camp hv watched the recent movies.. hmm....
Anyway, Bro seems to be adapting well in his army life thou its still too early to tell. Muz remember to apply leave soon for his POP :), which happens to be on the day of my 2nd anniversary of working at my 1st job.
Met up with the gals at Central last friday, got to know some updates on MH and Serene, and it's been quite a while since i last saw GS.. glad to know Momo hv gotten her driving license, reinforced my 'drive' to get mine too hahaz.. Talked abt our 'hang-over' nite with JJ, CY, dee and momo, and laughed over all those 'malu' moments... nevertheless, that experience din deter our after-dinner venture out to CQ-Attica where we (the gals) got free entry but elvin gotta pay his cover fee. Had 2 jugs (oh.. Muz remember to pay dee the $, think its $78 total rite?) of gin tonic and vodka ribena. Stupid waiter refused to let us sit at the sofa area coz its reserved for the VIPs=angmohs.. i guess.. coz there's isnt a soul ard on the upper flr where we were.. so we gotta stand ard a table at an empty pub.. but by the time we left the 1st flr is real packed with angmohs.. its really an angmoh pub. Went home with CY and MH, and MH says its her 1st time 'chiong-ing'!! unbelieveable..., muz get her to join us more often:)
Was at my Mdm's table when she was reading an email from boss, i peeped at it and the contents were abt if i cld continue to help out the ad hoc work which i've been complaining abt...she actually mouthed a 'damnit' phrase and commented that boss think 'we r very free'...guess that's wad i like abt, working with her is always 'we' not me alone...Mdm told me she is getting married (finally) at the end of May (that explains her long leave). Finally, coz when i 1st started working under her abt 2 yrs ago, i remembered asking her causally, when is her turn to hv the wedding dinner. She actually replied saying that she might not have one... forgotten how i react last time coz i only meant it to be a causal question. Anyway hv never seen her other half in person myself, thou hv heard from other colleagues. But i bet he muz hv heard abt me, since im alwayz disturbing my mdm after office hours at her table, that when her mobile rang (i presumed shld be him calling her), she wld replied monotonously that she's 'talking to [m name]'. Really happy for her and hope that i can keep my disturbance to the minimal during her long leave.
Injured neighbour flying off tonight with her hubby for her Hokkaido holiday, guess i wld miss her ard in my partition... muz really get used to be working alone without neighbours or LB at nite. Maybe i shld start going home early..
to be continued...
我怀念的。。。 过去单纯美好的小幸福。
P.S. Not sure if the 'poem' at the top is originally from Stef anot.. coz i remembered her posting in some forum, maybe its from some book she read. Anyway quite like the way she included the mumbling words in her song 'That I would be Good'. Quite an 'emo' song, at least for me.
