DXB - BHX

Just came back from my leave, am feeling so tired and not able to catch up... So worried that I can't perform my best on board. =
Met a Singaporean girl on this flight~! Finally~!!
Nice girl~! Of course~!! Cheers to Ferne

I met Fran outside 21st Century last night after I came back from Christines place, Manazel.

BHX - DXB

Oh Man~!! I did not know that at the end of Summer, the time will go back 1 hour in the whole of Europe!! Sigh.... This proves that how ignorant i was. Silly me woke up an hour earlier to get dressed and go for my flight, while others are still in bed snoring away...
Now this is something really different to me. And So happened for me to be in Birmingham to experience it~! Hahahaha~!!

FRA & BCN was initially 2hrs & 3hrs behind Dubai time. And now its 3hrs & 4hrs behind respectively!! Woho~! This is something...

Had a long msn chat with smelly potjie last night.. It did not turn out fine. I was really sad...
Cos in the profile for Friendster, he had put "Its complicated" for relationship... He think its funny, kind of a joke.. But its not at all funny to me. I got real dissappointed.. He said hes sorry and hes gonna changed it to "Married". I said, ''...leave it". No point doing anything now. No matter wat he does now cannot change the fact of his unsatisfaction of his emotional lost...
And i felt worse... My emotional lost in this long distance relationship is getting more and more...
It is bad... Out of sight out of mind. Maybe that explains it all.......
Perhaps i should consider a new "status" for US....

Holiday in Spain & Frankfurt [101005 - 271005]

2005-11-25T07:58:00.000+08:00

I have too much to say about this wonderful holiday... I think it'll take me days to write everything down~!

But i really wanna thank Mehdi, his brother for putting us up in his place and showed us around. The life in germany etc... And of course i met alot of new friends.. Very nice people from Germany. They took time out to bring us round the town and stuffs.. =D
Long, Soul, Eddy, Kilhwan. Fantastic people.

Spain~!
Oh my... The rich culture and history background. How can u miss this it in the map!!
Really greatful to Fran and family for letting us stay with them for a few days... it was really fun... getting into the life of Spainish people and their cuisines...
Yummy...
If u ever go to Spain and have not tried the Tapas or Crema Catalana. Then u are really wasted!! Be prepared to sit down in the restaurant at 9pm - 10pm and enjoy ur complete meal till 12 midnight. And move on to La Ramblas for some Sangria or local made beer and party till dawn~!
HAhahahaaha~! U gotta experience it yourself~! This kinda experience is really unforgettable.

If u wanna see the pics, they are regularly updated/refreshed in my friendster webpage.
Cheers~!

Love sAb

DXB to DOH
Today was just a single Doha flight for me!! Whew~! Lucky!! hehehe... Just had dinner with Tannie, met Dong on the bus to the CBC. So happy to see him. Managed to do some catching up. I sure missed those fun times we all had in the training college.
Lucky Dong, have so many flights with Mira. They all are nice flights... Envy~! I'm still waiting for my buddy bid with Tannie to Malta. Sigh.. Heard Dong said that if we are in the same group, it would be so much easier to bid. But too bad we are not.

Am counting down my holiday to Frankfurt and Barcelona!! Yeah~!

2005-11-14T05:15:00.001+08:00

Just alighted from JED turn around flight.
Its a challenging flight. Short and yet demanding service and pax. We did not have enought time to even drink water properly not even to say rest. Flew with Lara again. My batch mate!! I was L3 and she was R3. hehehe~! Plane positioning.
The crew today are really nice. Nice PUR and SFS. Everyone's helping one another.

Just recieved baby's sms, saying he missed me alot and he had so much to share with me... Same here... Before i left for the JED flight i recieved a sms from Christine. She's in Sin holidaying now. Lucky gal~! Dure miss her laughter..

The buc finally starts to move back home... I'm so tired. I missed home in SIN. Wonder how's Mum and Dad doing?! Is my sister coping fine in London Heathrow?? Can she take the freaking cold weather there?! And of course, wondering what my smelly baby is doin?!
I can only wish them all well and fine and happy.

Good night to all my dearly missed friends out there~

Woho~!! The World Wide Web

2005-11-14T04:54:00.000+08:00

HOHOHOHOHO~!
I've finally bought myself a laptop and got hook up to the internet!! Yeah~!!
I don't have to spent time in the internet cafe spending much more $$ and less privacy... ['Cos i use the webcam to communicate and ppl start to turn heads when they hear u laugh etc.]

I'm going to start putting up my NOT SO everyday journal of some thoughts of mine while travelling the world. Here u go--->

19 Sept 2005
From DXB to NBO.
I'm so surprised that my purser of the day is a young lady from Australia. And her eye shadow colour is 'Whoa'. Blue, green yellow!! As a purser (PUR), she doesn't know where we are transiting!! OMG~!

I did not call or sms Gyu Ri as promised. I felt bad. But i felt so excited to go Nairobi with my new curly hair.. =D

25 Sept 2005
From DXB to ICN
I'm so happy! I'm so happy!! ICN aka Seoul. The very 1st top bidding destination in Emirates! As no. 1, the allowance is the highest! ~$300SDG. The other thing is its a new destination, and there are alot of Korean crews, so they are bidding for it to go back home... But I'm so lucky to get it without even bid for it!!! Yeah..

I was estactic!! Cos i so wanna go to Seoul. I went to so many places that i think i did not waste any time there during the lay over. I visited the most popular streets, palaces and malls and i even went to the footbal stadium!!
Had a fantastic chicken hot-plate meal!! Yummy~!

30 Sept 2005
Dubai
I missed my darling's birthday.. sigh... Has been wanting to change it for another flight back to sin but has not been successful... Happy Birthday darling.

2005-09-13T22:26:00.000+08:00

Friends too!! It'll take me a long time to update my pic here as im in the internet cafe and every minutes counts. I would strongly recommend u to visit my Friendster account for more updates of me pics n stuffs!!! Kekekeke~!!

Life here is difinitely so different! Don;'t remember how many times i've said this too~!! kekeke!! oops!
I've learn to be strong and be cool and more independent now. Have a few cool good friends with me to pull me throught the tough time... Really glad n happy that heaven/god sent them to me. I would now recommend a few places to you ppl out there who wants to visit cool places besides the typical Australia n Newzealand.

Malta, Moscow, Spain, and much much more places are a real hit!! I just came back from Moscow. Its a real nice place to visit if u like to see old history, Artifacts, architecturals etc...
Awesome man!! But sad to say i cannot upload my pics now, as the stupid kodak store here corrupted my memory card when i sent them for film developements... Shit..... now they are fixing for me, by sending it back to the main office... so i gotta wait for a few weeks a suppose... sighhhhh & there's no garuntee that i'll get the pics back!! Damn! They pics are r great man! n I really really love it!! cos i had nice crew then n we had loads of fun n stuffs.. sigh.. wat to do?!
anyway, so drop me a message or something to keep me occupy during these boring days yeah!! =D

DUBAI

2005-07-08T16:55:00.000+08:00

Hi~!
Sorry for the late post of my latest news... Cos now i'm currently away in Dubai. Where? In UAE United Arab Emirates. Where?
In Middle East. Where? ....... Check the net then.... kekekeke =P

I'm doing real fine here. Its freaking hot here. Ppl have to wear conservatively. But some still hack care... Cos its a very cosmopolitian place to live in.

I'm currently employed by Emirates Airline. So gotta base in Dubai.
Now living in an apartment with 2 other roommates, 1 from Hongkong, her name is Kobi. The other is Ann from the Phillipines.
They are all very nice ppl. Got to know alot of nice ppl here, especially from my batch mates.
Living here is basically alright. Besides the freaking hot weather, the roads and the food. Going from destinations to destinations will need cars as its far and its unsafe for us NEWBIES to take public buses. The food here are expensive, but when comes to Summer sales.. Whoaaa CHEAP!!!

Training in Emirates is not an easy thing man... Ppl always have the impression that air stewardess are "Trolley Dollies" to serve u drinks. Or rather the word Bimbo. But when we started training, we realised that its not as wat others have thought it to be. Its a very stressful job, very tiring and have high responsibilities... We are the safety officers cum fire fighters cum paremedic cum baby sitter cum waitress cum toilet cleaner on board the plane... not easy yeah...
We have to go thru 5 weeks of intensive training and a passing mark of 85% in order to graduate. Every yr of your service we will need to repeat this whole process again.. What ppl in singapore said is true. Its very difficult to get into Emirates Airline and to pass... I cvan't update my pics cos I'm using internet cafe to online not able to download softwares.. Ans Dubai have friendster site block. Sigh........

Will keep updating my blog as often as i can... If u want any pics, do e-mail me, i'll mail them to yah.. Take care ppl. Miss ya...

Sabrina

I know I'm not suppose to blog......

2005-06-24T12:16:00.000+08:00

I know I'm not suppose to blog in the office especially using the office time..
But i simply can't help it especially now...
15mins more before i step out of this office for good...
New life ahead for me... New challenges...
Had a warm hand shake from my boss, wishing me well...

Bye~!

Tommorrow is Friday...

2005-06-23T12:23:00.000+08:00

Today I came into the office early so i can start clearing my stuffs off the desk.
Suddenly seemed so busy as wanted to clear off some work before i leave...
Got a gift from my colleague Shilpa again...
She always pampers and sayang me with little gifts that'll touch your heart...
Thats what they always said, its not the quantity or quality of the present. It the genuine blessing that you recieved from the sender...
So touched...
My boss is giving me a farewell dinner tonight... Really appreciated his effort, as I knew that all of us are busy in the day...

Thanks everyone!! [Shout out loud + waving my hand]
{I missed my darling so much}

Dream job

2005-06-21T14:36:00.000+08:00

This is one BIG thing I really wanted to clarify~!

To be an air stewardess is definitely NOT my dream job!!! It just enables me to travel to my DREAM locations, Egypt & Rome.
Yes yes yes... You get to travel for free, enjoy the luxurious resorts and hotels in the world... You get to meet high people from all over etc etc...
But...
I won't fancy all these, if I had to trade them with my love ones...
Is it worth travelling so far just to eat delicacies alone??
Spend your first winter shivering in bed missing your smelly pillow??
Hmmmm...

Counting down to Friday...

2005-06-21T14:07:00.000+08:00

Feeling exceptionally relax and sleepy after lunch...
Especially when there's not much work for me to do now...
Counting down to Friday... My last day in this office...
Used to think of getting out of here everyday...
But now, starting to miss this place...
Human's feelings are always so contradicting, especially the female kind...

Meet up

2005-06-19T10:49:00.000+08:00

I tried to arrange for meet-ups with my friends before I leave for Dubai.

Yesterday was for my secondary school friends. Time seems to fly by with no reminisce. Everyone of us are doing something different for our life (of course) and future. Though we used to be in such similarities in likings and goals for our life.

Those were the days... I will miss you gals...
Being alone, away to a faraway land, memories and love are the only things that keeps me going on strong...
Take care ladies...

Odoru! Hidamari no Tami

2005-06-15T21:21:00.000+08:00

Nani? Korewa nan desuka?!

What is it?! Its a cute table top "ornament" which runs on solar energy...
This is a farewell gift from Elton, My colleague. So touch... Really appreciate that he made the extra effort to walk all the way to the central to get me this during our 1 hr lunch break.
Looking at this really calms me down.

Thank you.

13th June 2005

2005-06-14T14:23:00.000+08:00

My Monday morning was greeted by a nicely wrapped present from who??

Base on my experiences & knowledge, there are no people in this office who are capable to putting nicely wrapped gifts onto my table. Except for her, Shilpa.
"Okay.." I told myself to open it up and solve the 1st mystery of the new week.
"Bingo~!" Homemade cookies to cure my Monday blues... =D
Its fresh from oven, delicious and filled with 'goodness'...
My my my~ Hahaha~! Don't envy me!!

Preparations

2005-06-12T15:12:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a tiring day for me to go shopping..
Shopping?! Tired?! Yeah...
Me my mum and sis, went shopping for my luggauge.. & all the other necessities...
I bought a huge one...
My mind's full of whirl thoughts which made me so so tired...

Looking back on Wednesday morning...

2005-06-08T10:31:00.000+08:00

Wednesday morning looking back onto Tuesday...

Tuesday morning, afternoon, & night was busy...
Mind filled with work, affliations & relationships...
Going to a faraway land leaving all i had here...
I've got thousands of unwillingness to leave...
Yet I also yearn to see the world...
The thought of leaving my darling here waiting for me really makes me sad...
If only I can have the best of both worlds...

Tuesday morning looking back onto Monday...

It was a fun yet tired day for me. Went to help Cynthia pick her gowns and dresses...
So happy yet so sad. Happy for her and hubby... Sad as I'm not able to attend her wedding and be her "aunty" during her wedding dinner... Caught up with other two of my good friends... Telling them all of these Dubai things...
I'll miss them terribly...

I hate liars!!! Betrayal!!

2005-06-04T10:56:00.000+08:00

Yeah~! Its finally saturday. Yesterday was a busy busy day. (Hmmm ever since last mth I've never been free)

I was very upset with my colleague / friend.
I told her not to tell ppl after resign where I'm going. And she promised.
But then she blurted out their conversations about my resignation reason and where I'm going...

I asked her, but she denied and said no! Said my boss told the other girl's boss and she knew it and she had guessed it immediately!!! What the hell!?!
I just submitted my tender 5 mins before my boss went out and he can call to tell his friend and his friend can tell his staff which is already on the phone with my colleague!!! I'm not an idiot~! Lied right in my face and still push the blame!!

I remembered I told her not to say where I'm going. You can tell them I resign, but don't tell them which actual company i go!! Its just not right! Cos i did not tell my boss too!! And when i confronted her, she threw her temper at me and walk away in the mist of her lunch!!! I should be the angry party not her!!
I really should not have trusted her with my personal secrets. Because she's simply a CNN news reporter.

So ppl reading these, sometimes its not selfish to be selfish... You are simply protecting yourself... Good luck~!

What to do?! Work sucks!!

2005-06-02T10:47:00.000+08:00

I'm begining to dread this job to the core. And its sucks like never before.
Just because I've resigned on the 30th May. I'm already overloaded with work that I already can't breathe. Besides those irritating remarks that I've got made me pissed off totally and cursing softly why on earth are there people like these. You can pray to heaven not to find anymore of these nonsence in the seven oceans. And you wish your prayers are heard.

I'm going to be really nasty now. If you need help, [regardless what post u hold] you gotta wait till mine are finished. "NO, I'm busy too." will be my reply.
Not going to be any nice lady anymore. People just take advantge.

When it comes to work, all men/women becomes cruel...

Now I can't wait for weekend to come. At least theres time for me to breathe...

Every Morning

2005-06-01T08:41:00.000+08:00

Morning folks...

Every morning I will be greated by my boss's 2nd hand smoke...
I can never start my day in the office "fresh".
This which really dreaded me from coming...
I HATE IT!!!

I'm counting down on my days to getting out of this smoking box.
My last day of employment will be 24th June 2005.
Had a little ice-cream celebration with my bf last night...
But, I still can't believe I've finally tender my resignation...

Maybe soon I'll be able to get over this childish behaviour...
Good luck people.

Resignation

2005-05-31T15:18:00.000+08:00

It wasn't easy for me to brace up my courage to give my boss the resignation letter that I had prepared a day earlier...

Yes you are right.
I had finally tendered my resignation letter afer such a long time grumbling down here i wanna quit i wanna quit~! Well, everyone needs to carry on with their on lives even without you. They can still manage well or even better.

The most surprising thing to me is not my boss throwing his tantrum at me, or stopping me from leaving or banned my leave balance. Its how news travelled...
Soon after he left the office, someone called to ask my colleague if I'm really resigning... I'm in complete shock!! Oh my~! So fast!! Why would an ever busy man like him tell everyone I'm quiting!?!

Hmmm.... I smell a rat.... Do you??

Madagascar

2005-05-30T20:29:00.000+08:00

Hehehee~!
After a long anticipated wait (waited for the rain to stop, so we could go out into the streets...) on Sunday. I finally could dig some time for a movie. Madagascar.

If you are looking for plain laughter, funny, and no head nor tail animated story to cool your nerves.. This one is highly recommended...

Lets skip the story plot of making the birthday wish came true, and not mention how realistic it should be, and forget about the monkeys that were left on board the ship which was taken over by 4 snarky penguins.

I couldn't stop laughing my heart out in the cinema, so were the rest. That was what i really needed to release some tension. The animals are cute, funny and funny~! ["You didn't see anything...", by the Penguins]
You had to be fast to catch the joke and the bombastic facial expressions throughout the show, otherwise, you'll miss alot!!!
Me and my boyfriend just couldn't stop using the 'QUOTES' in the show for some giggles~!
["Just wave and smile~", by the Penguins]

Needles day

2005-05-26T09:18:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a needles day for me... Though I'm a person who is not afraid of injections, but too many jabs within a day really irks me...

Had a Hep A+B jab on the left shoulder. Drew blood from my left arm, another Mantou jab on the same arm... Oh boy...

Why would i need so many vacinations and examinations??
Well...

To go or not to go...

2005-05-24T13:41:00.000+08:00

This question has been in my head since the day I recieved that message...

To go or not to go???

I'm really in a dilemma...
No one can help me, except myself...

Go?? Am I very selfish if I had??
No?? Am I going to regret it for the rest of my life??

I hate this...

Hong Kong Trip II

2005-05-23T18:15:00.000+08:00

There are many 1st time experiences for me in HK...
I've learned to be very independent, decisive, organise, observant & patience in this trip, especially when you are in a foreign land.

I took my 1st bite into the smelly bean curb~! Oh My~!
At first, when we saw the signage I walked over get myself a piece. But I couldn’t find any. Its because the lady had not started frying the bean curb… And the “Smell” is not obvious yet. But then… *phew~!
I finally brace up all my courage and took a bite into it… Hmmmm, not bad at first. But then…… As I chew and chew, the taste got horrible… It got so bitter and yucks… I’m sorry.

I had my first roasted pigeon, roasted goose and Dim Sum for breakfast…
The Dim Sum is really good… Oh my~! *winkIt is very much cheaper than the normal set breakfast we usually had. About 5 of us with ~10 dishes. It’s only about $150Hk dollars. The Dim Sum we had are not those that we ordered from the push cart ladies. They are pre-ordered and served directly from the kitchen when ready. Hot from the stove!!

Dim Sum in the steamer.

From left, Ivy, sis, Guek Hoon & Huiting
We loved picking food from the street stores. Yummy~!

My first Victoria Peak tram ride~! My first mini bus ride, MTR & taxi.
Hahaha… Its actually nothing special about those rides. But it’s the exposure and experienced that I had during the rides. Just as like when I reached Lan Tau island’s big Buddha peak. I felt wonderful. There is this kind of a “touched” feeling gushing up to me… I can feel the clouds. I felt like I can touch the heaven. It’s a wonderful feeling, that I personally think that one must experience in a life time.

We felt like the whole world is slanted when we were climbing up the peak.

Tourist open top bus to town [central]

Taking MTR to..... Hm... I forgot... =D

The wet market right infront of our hotel's door step.
Very close to the neighbourhood feeling...

The ever famous Ladies Market.

There are all kinds of goods and products you can find there. Its very much like Our Pasa Malam here. But a huge one. You can get from wigs to majong tiles, Cds to paper panties.
Alot to see and look. Not forgetting to mention their imitation products. Fake CK watches to Dior bags... =)

The Lover's Rock.

We had to turn the mountain around to reached the top. Had an endless fight with the mosquitoes to let us pass thru to worship the God and Goddess of the Rock. We also discovered a pervert that poison dogs and scribble onto the walls claiming his act as a reason of defence from them.

Hong Kong Trip

2005-05-20T23:00:00.000+08:00

I'm back on the 18th May. How i wish i could stay a little bit longer...

I joined my sister & her colleagues on a trip to Hong Kong this May, first time ever in my life.
We had booked a Free&Easy trip for 7 days. It was a 1st time for us all...

Our purpose of this trip is not really a shopping spree, but a more "Experiencing" one. We had our itinerary planned before hand.
Its really an eye opener especially you are travelling on your own with no tour guides to guild you around town, beside the maps you can get your hands on upon the arrival to Hong Kong.

Believe me, its enough. Its exactly the same as what you see in the HK TV serials. High rise buildings, skyscrapers, dark black dirty alleys, rowdy crowds etc.

HK is basically a very developed country like Singapore, besides the mountains and peaks.
You can get to anywhere with any public transport available. The mini-bus, trams, MTRs, coaches & taxis etc...

One thing i really dislike about HK is "Leaky water"!!!
Unlike here, there's no pedestrian roads alongside of the traffic. You have to walk under the linkways between blocks and apartments... Well, as a M&E Consultant / Building Consultant, it is highly unacceptable for A/C condenser units located on the facade of the building where there are high traffic [human] flow... Its not nice to look at and very difficult to maintain too. Thats because the exterior front facade of the building are packed with big neon sign boards, A/C units, balconies etc...
Drops of water [god knows what they are] will just drip all over me anywhere anytime.. *Arghhh

The other thing i find it very amusing are the advertisment ads... *HAHAHA
I don't know how to discribe it here but the presentation way of the advert is very out of point to the aim of the product!! You can never, NEVER guess what message they are trying to prove!!

The only TV advert i like is the advert on 2nd-hand smoke... Two thumbs up for that!!
I love to eat their Dim Sum in the bustling morning of this fast paced city...
They talk fast, fast service, swift movements in maneuvering themselves in the packed MTR. *Whaooooooo
I can never do that man!!

In general, its a very urban society. If you have the opportunity, do check HK out..

Cheers...

Joy is an anticipation of Fun.

2005-05-11T09:48:00.000+08:00

I'm really over the moon these days...
1st thing 1st, but I can't tell now. [hexhexhex...]

2nd, I'm going to Hong Kong tommorrow~! Have been longing to go ever since when i was in Secondary school...

In Tributes to the TRUE PEOPLE'S President

2005-05-06T23:07:00.000+08:00

I would like to explain why he is the TRUE PEOPLE's President.

He was born in Singapore [Peranakan], he went through hardship in WWII, nominated as the president by Mr. SM Lee to serve his people.
He won many hearts with his sincere, cheerful, kind and amiable character.
He’s firm, dignified, intellectual and poise when represents Singapore.
He’s friendly, down-to-earth and approachable, speaks our language when he’s with his people… He did a great job.

Good bye, Dr. Wee Kim Wee.

You will be missed.

Coco Lee's Latest albumn review!

2005-04-29T09:54:00.000+08:00

Hey~! Its again a Friday, and a super long one!! Yippie!!

Ok, as most of my friends out there knows I’m a Coco Lee fan…
I buy all her albums to show my support. Say NO to piracy yah!!
Sad to say, though I missed the most fantastic concerts of hers during her “peak” time. But given a chance now, I would definitely go!!!

Everytime I will wait patiently for her albums. Wanting to be the first to listen to all her songs and learn to sing them~!

Coco Lee's New album "Exposed"

I’ve waited years for this new English album “Exposed”. I am really excited to see what new heights she had achieved. I was a little disppointed. Because I only found 2 songs in the whole album nice. And its not very nice. But just okay. I’ve always loved R&B(pop) songs, so her featured song ‘No Doubt’ but of course is my fave among all.

The other song is a ballad name ‘Magic Words’. Coco Lee also participated in the song writing for this album. Good try~!
Not to mentioned her vocal is really fantastic~! ‘No Doubt’ about it!! (hehehe)

I would really love to hear her sing mandarin songs again. New ones!Do check it out!!

Happy 7th Anniversary

2005-04-24T23:03:00.000+08:00

If they were to say, “There is only this life, but not the other…”
I would rather not have the other.
Just to be with you…

In loving memory of QQ. (April 2003 - April 2005)

~In loving memory of QQ~

2005-04-07T10:00:00.000+08:00

She left us silently in the middle of the night on 07-04-2005.

I'm so so sad... Fighting back my tears...
I did not get to see her last.

She lives in her cage in JC's room. Everyday, when he reaches home, open his room door, he'll call, "QQ" in a squeeky voice. Trying hard to speak in her language... You know what?!? She will respond to all our calls... She is just a normal Syrian hamster that you can find in any pet shop. But in my heart she's the cutest, funniest, obedient hamster I ever have.

RIP QQ~ We will miss you greatly... *sob...

I need fresh air~!

2005-04-06T10:56:00.000+08:00

My office is a very small one.

ONE boss.
ONE project Manager.
ONE electrical Engineer.
ONE M&E Engineer.
ONE prescriptive Fire Engineer.
ONE administration &
ONE breathless ME...

In my family no one smokes. My friends, yes... But they are very considerate. They will puff only when not around us, or they'll go to the "Smokers Area" to smoke even if they don't have to.

Well... I'm in a real fixed now. My boss (who writes my pay cheque) has been smoking in our small non-ventilated air-conditioned office for a year now...
And everytime he smokes, i feel like.... hmmmmm puke, is the word.
Sorry to say that, but I'm really sensitive to those. Thats the main reason why i avoided clubs and such.

Maybe one fine day, he'll just stop smoking~! (Pray hard!)
But I always pray hard that he goes out to meeting or goes out station, so we can have smoke-free office!!
Here are a few of the links to some facts of smoking. And a funny picture!! :D

*Smile~
On the following night he wrote to me something, where in the past few years he didn't write a single note before... I was caught by surprise~! I am thrilled! I am feeling very happy!!! Very glad that he understood my plight. Expressed his love to me & assured me "infront" of the world!!! Which is not him definitely NOT him!!!

Every time I read what he had wrote to me, I'll go jumping up and down with happiness and excitement in the office~! Haha... I wanna Screammmm out loud for everyone to share my joy!!

This is what he had wrote in my "Friendster" testimonial... *Smile Wide*

Thank u so much 4 being my pillar of strength when I was @ my weakest, being my eyes when I couldn't see, being d support 4 all I ever need.Love u oways, 4 all of eternity.

A series of unfortunately events that happened to me on a fateful Saturday

2005-04-04T14:12:00.000+08:00

Did you watched the movie "A series of unfortunate events"? Starring Jim Carrey??
My last Saturday seemed to be extracted from the plot..

Thinking back. I felt silly and too kind-hearted... Feel like banging myself against the wall now. *sigh~

I went out shopping with my sister at Orchard Road early afternoon. Then i was suppose to meet my friend 4pm at Orchard MRT, 'cos we are going to Far East to find a shop that sells lolita dresses.

As I quietly walked head down not making any loud entrance to MRT station.
Just to avoid those "bugging" land mines. Its as usual that Orchard MRT is the popular spot for these agents and direct sales persons to station their "Land Mines" there to URGE people to do charity through sales.

But, I was still spotted by their eagle's eyes~! Okay, One boy came up to me and ask me to help the needy and listen to what he has to say. I said okay. He is good with words [for his age]. He said "...some people are generous and kind to make donations to help them..." So i replied, "in another words that if I don't help I am considered to be unkind and inconsiderate lah?!" And then he asked me to write down my name as a kind of record that he had spoken to me and he could answer to his boss... So i wrote. And he demanded $$ from me. I was like WHAT!? I WAS FOOLED~!

So my friend came. And I saw her surrounded by a group of people. An plump Indian guy with coloured shades holding a clear file holder talking to her. So as a friend in need, I went up and shake my head sounding to her not to buy in mandarin. The Indian guy actually understands mandarin and he started yelling at me!!

Plump Indian, “What has it got to do with you?! What do you mean by shaking your head and influencing her not to buy?!?! Why are you doing this and what intention… etc” I was definitely shocked when someone yell at me like this when I’m trying to help warn my friend!!! So I shot a few sentence back at him asking him what has it got to do with him when I’m talking to my friend?! And he kept shouting at me non-stop like a choked CD.

So, I kept quiet and told my friend that its up to her to decide.
And so, the guy asked her which amount is she comfortable in contributing??
She pointed and gave him the money…

The guy was smiling away happily, obviously that he won the “WAR”. And turned to me sarcastically asking me “Which amount you are comfortable with??” I shake my head and left. I lost completely.

I felt the thunder strike right at me and my mind was filled with anger and agony.
I was lost in my mind throughout the shopping in Far East. I don’t really blame my friend for not standing by me, ‘cos I don’t think she is cleared of what has happened to me and that Indian guy.

I definitaely felt hurt. Because I’m doing this to so that she won’t be the 2nd me.

Donating to charities through direct sales is fine with me. You create jobs opportunities for others and on the other hand you are doing a good deed as they are going to donate a certain percentage of the sales to charities.. But people don’t use these tactics to do charity?!?
And the bottom line is, its your DECISION weather or not you want to donate.
Nobody can force you.

[For your information : To those who are interested to find out more exactly where your money goes, here’s an article I found in the web. Its only for references not pointing particularly to any companies or sorts.
http://www.ncss.org.sg/ncss/about_ncss/news/news_301003_commission-based_charity.html]

I was suppose to meet my bf that night and we would go and view a flat on the following day as planned. As I was waiting for his confirmation despite my confused mind then, he did not mentioned anything about viewing the flat despite me asking him.
To me, I can read him like a book. If he carefully try not to mention anything about it, means that you can forget about the whole matter. So, to CONFIRM what I assumed was correct or not, I sms him asking him “so are we still going on Sunday anot?!” As I expected the answer came out to be NO.

I was really really dissapointed and sad. Even though I had already told myself not to pin too much hope. But I just can’t help feeling sad. *sigh~

What a bad day I had. Everything seems to go so wrong at the slighest thing.
I’m trying hard to fight back my tears. Telling myself that it’s just a simple and small issue, no need to get so aggitated/emotional… But I just let the worst half taken over me.

Sometimes by not doing anything to revive the situation is worst than doing something…

[p.s – To those people who have read this, don’t get personal or sensitive. Its just my thoughts…]

Do you have the same qns whirling in your mind??

2005-04-02T21:25:00.000+08:00

Does he feel the same way as I do?? Can he feel what I am feeling now?? Can he think for my situation?? Can he understand what I am thinking?? Can he put down his ego & pride to call me and understand whats wrong when he finds me behaving weirdly???

Do you feel the same way as I do??

Are men really from Mars and women from Venus??

As I'm reading this article, I'm smiling away.. Thats because i was reminded how funny and cute we were during those days. How he found an excuse to hold my hand, to get my contact number. How he managed to gather all his courage and then down it goes,grup, when he wanted to say his first "I love you".

Its so sweet~!

How we got all these funny names for each other. Such as "smelly potjie kornue"?! Hahaha!! Our anthem, and our "Couple's weirdest/Mission Impossible accidents!" !! For example; how high the probability would be to tear a packet of chilli sauce and it squirt right into the other party's eye?! And as when the couple's kissing, one of them burp?! Oh my~!
Nope?! Mine did!!
And how many coincidence that you need to gather for opening a sweet wrapper and it jumped right out of your hand and hit bull's eye on his head?! Or the hanger on your door knob just flew and hit his head again?! Hahaha~~ 2 more points for me! *wink
So here comes the phrase, "Sweet hits the head!" - 糖TOK头!!
This is to remind us how much the candy wanted to escape from my evil clenches and fly to him for refuge..

So funny!!

Time flies, and we had so much things to talk about. Our life now and after.

Now - Dating / relationship
After - Marriage

It will be a new chapter or i should say a new beginning for us.

~The End~

My Family Picture; taken on 2005 CNY~!

⁮─My FamïLỳ ─ ⁮

2005-03-29T22:37:00.000+08:00

*My elder sister, 28 yrs old. Dad, 56 yrs old. Mum, 55 yrs old. Me ==> 25 yrs old, Monkey, Leo star, Sun*

It has been a long while we had not taken a family photo. My dad is always busy with work. Never like to go out when he’s not working. A very homely person. He seldom talks about his work, his colleagues or his friends.
[My sister is just like my dad. As you can see from the photo!! HAHAHA~!] Not just appearance!! Their characters are so much alike too!! Doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to socialize with new people etc etc..

Me?? I’m not very sure about it myself. I can’t tell just by looking into the mirror and say, “Yah! I look more like mum/dad!!” I can only do my sums when people tell me so. But I know deep inside me, I’ve inherited my mother’s character more, much more than my sister. Don’t ask me where and what?! I really don’t know how to tell you.
But I just knew it. Believe me.

The Chinese believe that, people who are able to be a FAMILY in this life, must have a very deep relation in their previous life in one way or another. Some even say that children are ‘debt collectors’! Who knows?!
There’s an ancient Chinese saying, “10 years of good deeds to meet one another, 1000 yrs to share a pillow” –
It’s a direct translation.

I miss being a baby~! I miss those times when i'm little. But, most of my memories are not so good if were to recall... We were at the lowest point of our life then. My favourite & best food than, was luncheon meat.
I can still remember my granny smoking outside the toilet, grumbling at my mum. My cousins wet my bed. Running errands for my mum to the Ma-Ma shop in my "I LOVE MOMMY" panty!! Hahahaha~! I was then a pre-school toddler.
My one and only toy was the paper dolls!! Remember?!Wearing clothes that my sister pass down to me etc..

There are so much to say about US~ Being together forever~ This thought simply makes me feels wonderful.
Its a special bonding with no ending. And it never ends. I sincerely hope you have the same feeling as i do.

Good night & sweet dreams..

2005-03-24T17:05:00.000+08:00

Hahahahahax!! Seems fun oh!!

My colleague from India showed me a picture in the web showing 2 Indian ladies painting each other with colours! Then my colleague told me that, they are celebrating the COLOUR FESTIVAL! I bet you have heard to Thailand's Water Festival, Italy's Tomatoe Festival etc~ It is believed that they would colour each other with colours on that day to bring them good things such as luck. They would go home and be greated with candies etc..
And according to her, in India, they have this gender discrimination thing. Like that of our 男女受受不清 [p.s. Did I get it correct!?] type~ So on this particular day, you can touch a complete stranger without worrying that you might get stares and being arrowed at behind you!!

Indeed, India is a very colourful country, where women of all ages and walks of life wear colourful Sarees. Red, yellow, purple, white, gold, pink and peacock blue.. So fashionable yeah!?

Given a chance I would like to visit India too.. YOU?

你今天早晨是否带着很不愿意起床的心情把身子拖起来？尤其是要去上班和上学的朋友？！

那你昨晚又做了些什么？我？

我和朋友们聊天，购物，查看资料跟听歌~~ 我想大部份的人都知道我是怎样办到的。因为他们也和我一样都上网了。
对我而言，这长网是万能的。现代人都离不开它~！我也一样，就连写日记也在网上~！你可以在夜深人静无人打扰的情况下购物。相反的要是在网上作生意，您将会24hrs 开业，也就等于你的回报比起店面相对的高了一倍噢~！
您也可以在网上教学，看电影和下载音乐，很不错吧~

不过~
事事有例外~ 不法之徒也商业化了。他们会在你不知情的情况下对你下手！比如黑客入侵你的电脑盗用你的个人资料等。令我最最恨的就是他们盗用你的资料后还故意留下电脑病毒，扰乱系统！！可怜的我们就要花钱去买防毒软件，甚至得更换一台电脑~ 还有哟，少女们也要底防那些网上结交的新朋友噢~ 哪怕是男是女都不要过份的相信他们~ 要带眼使人。

Hmmmm~~ 只要事事小心谨慎就应该没什么大问题了吧？！
今天就写到这里吧~!

请以下的人留言，谢谢~！
1) 喜欢网上购物的
2) 喜欢网上游戏的和
3) 喜欢网上串门子的

A few of the sample drawings / project that I have done. Just dunno y there's a patch white no matter how I edit it.. Sorry..

A sample drawing that I have done.

2005-03-22T08:47:00.000+08:00

Hi all~~ As promised, here is the sample drawings and designs that I have done for the past year.. Definitely not just these few buildings that I've done. There are more, but I think I'll bored you with the same type of pics over and over again.. To me every project/task is very different. Each has its unique way to work at it. We sometimes have to play with the loop holes of the Architectural/Structural aspect to achieve the maximum utilisation for our design.. And as you know, customers are always right. Even when you have done up the design and about to submit work, they can just re-submit their "wish list" to you. And there goes your hard word and effort.. 'Cos for us, its accumulative work, ! factor leads to the other, all works in a chain reaction.. All the calculation have to be redone, and the drawings too... OMG!! Sometimes they will change and change and change and not take up our service! Can you believe it?! *sigh

For me? I am already so used to this kind of a crappy people.
*Point* "You, get it done ASAP 'cos they are rushing me for the letter... I want it by......"
And here i go, dashing to the site to survey, take measurements, get the building owner's authorisation letter to start work.. Me goes back office, compile my work and start to calculate and draw...

*RING~~* "Hey eh Ms Sabrina, you know this other person trying to under cut me and the client told me to stop work now.. so i think you also stop lah.. I'll call you again once everything is confirm again k. Thank u huh Thank u huh......."

This is what i call [cry no tears]..... *Sighhhhh

Ok people cheer up!! Today is Tuesday! Friday is Good Friday..... So!! Lets count down!!
Cheers~~

-=Devils & Angels=- Which one are u??

2005-03-17T14:00:00.000+08:00

Afternoon all, I bet anyone reads this will agree with me.. Office politics are so darn irritating and frustrating... Why can't everyone be sincere and nice and polite to everyone else?? Why can't they stop back stabbing or sucking up to their bosses for their own benefits in the means of hurting others?? WHY!?! Wouldn't it be nice and good of a working environment if nobody does all those crappy stuffs? Sometimes i really wonder, Is there a Pandora's box opened in every office/world.. *shrug

What i can conclude here is that, there are always angels and devils making your life full of surprises.. Sometimes i would say these people added spice and interesting ingedients to my chapters.. Without them, my life would be like a boring piece of paper with a few scribbles..

Oh ya, today i recieved a message from my friend, and she told me that she had forgotten what am i working as, my job etc. So here is a little introduction to my work and what i had been studying all these years.. Maybe a picture tells more than words.

Basically we are the M&E Consultants. People come to us to do designs, endorsements and submissions of plans for them to the relevant authorities. So my major part of my work are DRAW DRAW DRAW... We survive on BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS..
The Code Of Practices... *duh*

Though repetitive, but i do get job satisfactions.. Take a look at some of my works..

~Sentosa trip~

2005-03-15T11:05:00.000+08:00

*Mermaid me*
This Sentosa trip was so fun!! I had my 1st dance with my smelly Potjie on the windy night of Siloso Beach.. We went to the Under water world together.. Got so much to talk about and explore together.. We had a nice dip in the waters n got myself real tanned.. Its such a relaxed day... No need to think about work. Sun, sand and the sea... Wheeeeeeeeeew~~ When will the next one come again?! I really missed the time spent there..

15th March 2005 - A day in the office

2005-03-15T09:52:00.000+08:00

I've decided to changed my job.. Finally.. Made up my mind to leave this office for good.. Finally.. This morning was a terrible messy one. Everything seems to go on so bad for me.. Everytime I hear a friends tells me how stress school works are, I would always tell them, "Studying is always the best!! I missed being a student & holding the STUDENT status.." Its so so different working out here..

Like what my colleagues said, "Its a big ocean here... You had gotta learn to swim on your own... Its either you take a few grubs of water & learn for good, or you'll get drown.."

I really appreciate the help they had given me when I really needed a push.
