A Nocturnal Reverie

Wednesday, June 28, 200610:50 AM♥

recently,i have been "patronizing" the hospitals,funeral wakes,n homes. not because i choose to,but this had already became a part of my parents' social life. at least once in two weeks we will have to attend funerals or visit my dad's friends at their homes or hospitals. some of them,i nv knew of their existence,n some were those i grew up with. some of them i see each year during big events but this year,at their own funeral event,sadly. some of them i used to laugh with,now,still laugh along with them,but at the hospitals. it sucks. imgaine u reach home,n ur dad ask u to change to something not bright,u will know where u are headg to. once in every 2 weeks i repeat. it sucks.

in the past,just probably 5 years ago,when i was 13,i used to attend house-warming,birthday parties,weddings n many kinds of celebrations along with parents as part of our social life...we were like happy entertainers. things changed just few yrs later. obviously reason is,ppl grow. ppl turn old..daddy is 48 already,his friends are ard his age,alot of them are even more older. therefore they aged together n go through the different parts of life hands in hands. to sum it up,i will just end with, CHERISH,otherwise,u might as well DIE NOW.

-as we go on...we remember...

lalala~ really,sch wasnt that bad. everyone looked very glad today.tutors are nice too. i guess we are all in the same sch because of purpose & choice,not by force. tts something v.gd but it also means tough competition then. nevertheless,im very motivated to study n im gon' make sure i achieve something useful at the end of the day when i leave shatec. thanks to partner n new friend rynette. nice name isnt it?btw, we had already made a pact to study hard together. coincidentally,we drew our lots n ended up safely in the same project group. we are meant to be. *smile. anyway,rynette is a really nice girl. not some fakers out there. alright,here's a quiz my economics teacher gave. enjoy.

what day is it?

its not the day after mon or the day before thurs.
it isnt sun tml nor was it sun ydae.
the day aftr tml isnt sat.
and the day before ydae wasnt wed.

ans: simply sunday.

-i made the right choice again.

here's a better understanding of what i do at the banquet (A ceremonial dinner honoring a particular guest or occasion,mainly wedding events). Arrive at the hotel early to have some really nice food aftr getting changed, & make some more new friends. :) aftr which,report work at 530pm. help out to fold napkins,the ones uncivilised ppl throw on the floor instead of making full use out of it. check the table settings,n check again. report to the black jackets (the upper hands) again and together,the part-timers will be briefed for the night event. then we will rehearse once on the food presentation. (a.k.a the cold plate,first dish). this plate is one of the heaviest btw. done with that,we are assigned to tables we will be serving for throughout the night. prepare the side station for putting new utensils for replenishments,water jars & so on. of course,filling + refilling up the water jars (3 soft drinks,2 chi tea,1 ice water,1 warm water) and taking out the new plates from the kitchen & so on is our job too. so in between the event,if someone request red wine or beers,stouts or other hard liqours,we must go to the bar counter and get it (provided the main guest bought & brought it). on the other hand,we must change the plates n replenish the new ones for the table we in-charge aftr each main dish.. also,be alert when the next main dish is ready to be served. repeat this sort of process for eight to nine times,and those ppl better start moving off.(staffs who wont be doing overtime leave with them). there,we (stay-back staff) will start clearing the tables,the napkins,the seat cover,the table cloth and set new ones,including table settings. only around 10 to 15 ppl will stay-back and do for the whole ballroom. this will all end sweetly at 2am. then,we will all eat like some hungry ghosts and wait for our cabs to take us home......
home sweet home at 4am.
by the way if one is unlucky,he/she will get to serve 3 tables at once during the event with some blur sotongs who doesnt do anything. i was the unlucky one.

*blink,sch starts tml & im not feeling it. new environment,new teachers,new toilets,new people. lets hope i can adapt to it fast. papa,mama,trust me that i wil get the results which will make u all proud.

-someone took a damn pic of me again.

"rubbish" to all who have an image that im pampered n rich. "damn" to those who thinks i wont run out of money. "fuck off" to those who says i reach out my hand for money. n "losers" to some who describe my dad as an atm machine. daddy may have more than 5 houses, more than 11 cars,n lots of savings,but i dont. get it? i just cant take it when ppl says im pampered. what's in me tt ppl must say that? i shell my own prawns n crabs,clean the toilets,wash the dishes,iron the clothings,feed the fishes,tidy the house,pay for my bills,n WORK FOR MY OWN MONEY. still pampered? or is it because so n so is still depending on parents to do the above?

rich n wont run out of money u say? check out my wallet. ez link card or maybe my bank.
my dad is an atm? try pressing it n see if money will come out..

get it over n done with this pple. my pockets are dry,my hands are itching for gambling n my stomach is hungry. i took up 2 jobs to have enough money for sch which is startg on mon. i have my downturns too. n now,this is the time. btw,if im really rich,i wudnt be workg for bill gates. if having 50 bucks for 2 weeks(food n transport) is what u describe as RICH,then i admit,im indeed rich. suckers,think it through for goodness sake.

-again,dont think u really know me well. dont judge by what i live in. its silly.

"hi sir,fill up this lucky draw form and get a free gift from microsoft. be present for the draw at 5pm sharp.today's lucky draw winner will go off with an O2. the microsoft pavillion is just beside siemens,hall 4." i said.

man 1 : wow! what free gift? you? (silly look)
man 2: bill gates here?
man 3: i fill up the form,u go lunch with me.
man 4: can,i fill up,i be there at 5,but before that,tea with me?
man 5: i dont want o2. i want apple,ipod. *hello,im from MICROSOFT.*
btw,these men wasnt joking, they were SERIOUS.

this happened for a few times each day. and im geting very tired to entertain them. the best way is to just smile,n walk away. cant believe this happen at the communic asia,where all the higher status employees,managers n heads are the main visitors. i wondered with increasing regularity,whether these pple had came to the wrong place. or maybe,they should hook on those motorola or lg gerls,perfect body in their one piece tight-fit suit or two pieces wear,short n sweet.. not us,microsoft,in just big t-shirts n simple black pants.

holiday inn,ive got nothing to complain abt the staffs. everyone,including the captains are damn nice to me. they all guide me along accompanied with selfless teachings. im fortunate i landed up in a place without enemies of mine. i enjoyed working,minus off the pain,the pain,the pain.. i can hardly lift up my right hand now. banquet is not an easy job aftr all.

-i miss talking to you.get it?

first day at work,singapore expo. communic asia exhibition/roadshows. all about technology and i.t.i was representing microsoft,an exhibitor.. basically,my job was just to lead the customers to our microsoft pavillion. tell them the basic knowledge of microsoft n so on. the rest,the rest will handle from there. easy job i can say. lunch n transport was provided. so no pain. bumped into adib! very nice to see him. felt like hugging my long time fren la.. so will work for microsoft till friday. 12-5. then at 6 tml,after microsoft,im expected to report work at holiday inn hotel for weddg banquet. workg as a waitress. i guess i will be workg till 2am. i know im hardworking,haha.but of cos,i work to gain. as well as to clear my debts. both the exhibition n the weddg banquet can help alot in my up-coming tourism studies as well. i can see myself in the bright future ahead. all the best. :) also,i made a promise to dear fren/sis weihan that i will make it to the bach degree at switzerland. it might again,be a highly impossible goal,a dream aim,but i believe once i work towards doing,nothing cannot be done. its just the same as 12 years ago,when i was 6, & came to know abt grade 8 piano certificate,i told myself i have to get it if i want to ever start learning. n this year,ive gotten it. so what say you? rem guys,have faith in urself.

-hopefully i can pull it through this week.

seth t.c.h came down to pass me 60Gb 15000 songs pc+mac ipod,that one he n myself are sharing for my bro's 21st. it wasnt cheap but im sure this is something that my bro will definitely appreciate as one,is by his best bud,the other,his sis. this is something that he wanted for long too. so we are all v.happy for him. its his 21st after all. apart from this,parents n myself are very proud that my bro got himself a very gd buddy,seth. of cos,not for his gifts,but the heart he has for each n everyone. elder bro seldom have frens he can really trust.he seldom have frens whom he can share everything with. but once he said to me,"i really like this fren. he can be trusted." , i know this time,this frenship is for real. i saw myself too.. wad kind of person,u,seth t.c.h are. so this entry is entirely dedicated to u. our family welcome u anytime u want to drop by,like again. we appreciate nice people. and thanks again,for the great gift idea. i mean,the perfect idea for somebody's 21st.

-how many friends can be called friends?

this is not some kind of fruits. definitely not the jackfruit u eat. n yes,its the bee hive. in real,its extremely larger than what u see here. not enough? visit verde cres for more. this tree is just in front of my house. according to some,these kinda bees will kill. they are not the ones that feed on honey. yucks,how scary. just woke up n was called to see the tree. up until then, still thought the tree had some cat on top, or nice flowers..then hell not,its a bee hive,half my elder bro's body. i scractched my head,i scream n i ran straight into my house leaving the rest outside. then news spread fast enough,n one by one,we went to ring the bells of 135,139,143 n they all came out. we said,"look at that tree. there's something unusual." *they looked up* "nothing leh? what thing?" they replied. mum pointed at the tree up there n say,"there's a bee hive." *arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* *all SCREAMED* SOME SHAKE,SOME SCRATCHED,upon seeing it. thanks mum for introducing such a thing. its not the tree trunk once again. its a bee hive. *sting*

i hate to only have this way out.. to write abt anything n everything here. when im feeling all complete,pple tell me they are feeling lost. i could help them by just listening to them,but inside,i dont really understand how they felt. cos "LOST" were all they felt. but i have to fess' up. im sorry i have to say "IM REALLY LOST". im feeling lost. but similarly,i only can describe this kinda feeling using the word "lost". im trapped in many ways. somewhere is incomplete.. suddenly u see the back of everyone. suddenly u have no idea how to continue typing.....

-S.O.S

well done to liverpool players again (crouch n gerrard). also,without gerrad's non-hesitant shot(though he was not very on form today),beckham's leadership,Crouch breaking the deadlock with a headed goal,how well can england do? england nv fails to give surprises.. initially, i thought it was a 0-0 already as certain players were under-performing.. was pissed off with players like lampard,joe cole..chelsea players....wont forget to mention every girls' fav player beckham,whose delivery for England's first goal was superb. for the first time i thought beckham is worthy to be praised. those who are so used to criticising crouch,calling him giraffe,horse-like face n so on,should probably,think again. we admit,he is really bad at times,only gd with his robotic actions,still,we cant deny his long legs are his forte. his long legs are what the squad needed very much. if not he wont be assigned to play as forwarder. n to those who alwys say that england is lucky,i wonder whats wrong? jealous that they alwys manage to score right at the end? or just not so happy they are the popular team?or u ppl lost money on betting? oh come on,face the fact,even if u say they are LUCKY,they still won. n u will nv know what the players were thinking when they were playing.say whatever,i might be a hard core england fan,but i nv said it was lucky when brazil won the world cup in year 2002 & england didnt.

hows my trip?

good and the bad. i was in my cousin's gd hands,throughout the trip.he is fun to be with.had nice talks with him as well.. his frens,not too bad. just that maybe characters different. i was the crazy one,they,the decent no-comments ones. i was the talkative one,they,the quite quiet ones. though they were quite prone to indecision,stilll,the trip was fine. outdoor theme park was fun! cos i managed to take some rides. JUMBO ELEPHANTS,MERRY-GO-ROUND,FERRY-WHEEL n so on. i tell u,i was reminiscing the past. i dont rem takg alot of those rides when i was a child. thus i took revenge n went for it. WHILE THE OTHERS went for scary ones. the vertical tower,tt one which shoots up n u never know when it will drop down. cousin weijie n his fren xiaojun went for 5 times in all. all different views. i applaused when i was far down beneath their toes. so daring of them. ok la, maybe so timid of me la. then they went for the standard rides,roller coaster,n those turn turn turn turn turn high up rides. i just waited n sometimes went for my turn turn turn turn turn low rides. how i wished i wasnt suffering frm height phobia.
apart from the theme park,i dont rem any significant incidents. we just had a tough time deciding what to eat n what to do..i dont wanna decide for everything n aftr that everybody else disagree at the back or leave the place with regrets.

now,im having a headache,partly because england is not performing. secondly,i dont know if i have too much slp or too lil slp. its painful.

-i forgot what i forgot. pls remind me if i forgot to reply msgs or forgot any outings or anything else.

by the way,its dearest peiqi's burfday! happy burfday girl! love u lots.

reunion. younger bro is back! meaning,more noise,more irritations & more laughters. i think he bought ard 50 tops for himsellf & 10 over stuffs for me. including world cup logo t-shirt,one of my favs. he really had all of us in his mind n heart,something we really appreciate. tues is my turn to be out of spore. though,im neither taking the plane nor the train,neither the ship nor the car. im taking the BUS. to the highlands of genting. wells,nothing special i know. had been there just last year end. but then again, my male cousin had an extra seat n asked me along with his frens. i was like," no harm knowing more frens. go relax myself before the sch starts." i need some proper play too. so i agreed. the main thing which triggered me to say yes was because of the bus journey. im really looking forward to it. the longer,the better. i can have some nice slp with perfect music plus so-called nice "scenery". 3 days 2 nights,short trip. still,im gon' make full use of it,though its just GENTING.. wanted to go further places but no one was available. so too bad. cousin weijie will be fun to hang out with too. great personality he has. too bad again,he is my cousin. *laughs. cheeky rite me.. ok,seriously,tts a joke. n tml night,he wil be fetching me to his place so that tues early morning we can leave together. thus,i wont be online for awhile.

things i have to get it done/remember when im back.
get pc birthday present ready by the 16th. (girl,if u are reading this,have u got any celebration plans ?)
injection + full body check up for tourism course.
uniforms (except bow)
get ready for work on the 20th - 23th.
inform shatec i cant turn up for orientaion on 22nd. (duh! sch not even started yet n im doing this..but money more impt lar,i mean for NOW.) sorry.
rem sch starts on 26th (oh maaaaaaaannnnnnn!)
-trust me,i will forget to accomplish the above when im back. not on purpose,but by accident.
