In this sophisticated world, one often finds oneself in a struggle with power, fame, money, attention and many other unnecessary entities of life. I seek to find a simple life, uncomplicated yet meaningful. A lot more important elements of life are waiting to be discovered. Live your life to the fullest.

I am Lost

Lost.. really I think I am lost.

I can't seem to find the direction I am going. Be it at work or my personal life.

The economic turn down, the Thailand uprising, the Mumbai's terrorists' attacks.. what's up with this world man..

Workwise... I can't seem to find the eagerness I had when I first started off. The flame just died. I am managing it well though. I wonder how the rest of them feel. Rising star is probably still shining bright. Good for her. Haha..

Lovewise.. I don't really want to comment here..

I should probably seek refuge at my grandmother's house. I find peace there whenever I go over. Here I come...

Anna and the King

This blog is about Alice. The name has been changed to protect the innocent. Beware...

I wonder if you have seen the movie Anna and the King? No, it is not related to Alice. Like I say, it is just a movie's name. The movie was terrible, Alice fell asleep during the movie or was it due to the chalet before hand?

Many years back, Alice and xiao xin were classmates back in their secondary school. Like I say, names have been changed to protect innocent parties. Their secondary school was definitely not in Yishun like mine and definitely not YTSS. It is just a story, fiction, you know.. not true.. make up one. Get the idea?

Alice wasn't that bright a student back then, but she was hardworking. Xiao xin was also not very smart but slightly better than Alice. (Please dun complain first, that's how the story goes ma...) He was also very hardworking fyi.

Alice and xx sat beside each other during class but the people around him including Alice always bully him. A poor chap.. but nice at heart.. he forgave them all. Even helping them out when they have problems in their work.

Back then, there wasn't any hanphones and pagars were not so common yet. Most communication was still done through house phones. A far cry from now right? When is the last time your house phone rang and it is for you?

Alice often called xx after school to ask him for advice. Not about how one should lead life blah blah, they were so young then and knew nothing about these. It was mostly about school work. I wonder why xx always help her since she keep ganging up with others in class to bully him. Guess he was too kind hearted. She called so often until xx' mum knew from the phone's ringing tune that it was her. Kidding.. there is caller ID back then. Xx is thinking of getting consulation fees from Alice now that the economy is so bad and a pay cut might happen anytime soon. Alice... prepare to receive the lawyer's letter.

Somehow... I dunnoe why.. both of them ended up working in the same restaurant after their O level. It was tough, you have to wake up really early and xx was constantly being scolded for doing the wrong things. I guess the knowledge in text books can't be applied easily in real world. Alice was doing quite all right, other than the spilling of water over a customer. I wonder if she has gotten over the shock yet. But I guess she learned a lot from the experience and became stronger in character.

Ok, so they did become closer.. no prize for guessing what happen to them after that. All xx said to me was that a christmas card was involved.. that's the start. The ending involves a certain bus interchange. And he remembers the exact location and what happened back then. Xx is thinking of sueing her for the emotional pain caused and the phobia inflicted in him with regards to future usage of the interchange located somewhere north of Singapore. Nope, it is definitely not the Yishun one, although it is pretty near my place. It is a story my goodness.

Ok, so that part was boring for you guys, so I am going to fast foward a little bit. Few years pass by and everyone started working and lifestyle changed.

It is all about beer and chill out..




And 5-10..


Where the loser have to drink..


Staring...


Birthdays...


And getting married... nope, he is not the groom.. looks like the waiter from the restaurant...


Well, time flies... xx's first love is getting married but the groom is not him.. he only has one word to say....


Heng!



Lol, just for laugh folks. Names and locations have been cleverly changed and it takes a sage to figure them out. So no worries..

Before I end off, they say I look like Jay Chou with the specs.



Please... don't make Jay puke. He still has a great future ahead of him...

Night Shift Counting down

Two more nights to end of my night shift.

Haven been updating as you now why la... the sudden change in biological clock needs time to adjust and I am just too tired to blog.

Anyway, still surviving. I still need to blog about Alice's wedding.

But for now, have some friends who are not feeling well and many busy with work and exam. So good luck here and take good care of your health! Will be back soon.

Congrats!

Well, the girl has finally found her right man.

Congrats Alice on your completion of the wedding dinner, and still managed to join us at wine bar after that.

It must be really tiring, but it is all for a happy occasion. Really happy for you. Enjoy yourself in the wonderland of yours and may you "zao sheng gui zi".

I can't believe you pour the well wishes(in terms of wine) back to my glass! The "zao sheng gui zi" better not be in it because it was out of friendship I drank for you! And if I kana, it is really going to be your fault!

Anyway, will wait for the photos.

Last but not least, happy birthday cheng hao! Although I have said it many times but then.... may all your wishes come true, that includes career and gals!

Stress

It is Nov already.

Stress stress stress.

Starting to feel the heat from my work. Oh well.. shall not talk about it.

Just celebrated ch's bdae this afternoon with the FF gang at bishan by having a simple lunch. Hope he likes the zen we bought for him.

The next big thing is probably going to be Alice's traditional wedding on Thursday's night.

I am still thinking whether to blog about her. A special entry and lots of juicy news perhaps?

I can see her stun face in my mind. Haha.
