The time has come for us to part. All the best Nino. We'll miss you.
Take good care of yourself in China and hope to see you back real soon. Gain lots of experience and remember we're just a phone call away..

Apologies for not being able to send you off at the airport and i believe that the girls cried buckets.. We'll always be here when u need us and let things start anew. Dont start doing those stuff that you told us during Cat's bdae. Hope to see a happier you next year. Please rem to give us ur china number in case we need to contact u..

The sleepover last night felt just like any other sleepovers we have had. Nothing really special and it seems that all it matters for us is to enjoy each other's company for the very last time at the 'old' house. I'm glad we took time for steamboat, ktv, sleepover, shopping, dinner and our very first da-ing session with the 4 of us present.

Hope you like the gift as much as we did selecting it. before i forget, thanks pal, for everything.. together with the 2 of them, you all are the reason why I never regret not quiting SJAB in Sec 2.

Once again, all the best. Let us know when you've settled down and see if we can make plans to meet u in Dec.. hopefully *pray hard...

Been fighting sleep for days on end but realized that the human will is incredible at times..

Came back from night cycling on Monday and totally forgotten about bidding deadline on Tues.. Missed everything for round 1A. Had a training session with barely enough sleep followed by the sleepover gathering at THE 'hougang house'. dozed off and managed to sleep for an hour before waking up and saying my goodbyes.. i took a long slow walk home and went back to bed for another hour's of sleep before the ODIN peeps came to pick me up to school. I dozed off at every possible freetime. No wonder they say that if we have a competition to see who can sleep the longest, i'll be the winner.

O week officially starts tomorrow. From tml onwards, i'll be stuck in school till my next holiday. Say cheers to a new school term.

zombie with failed eye-makeup

Thanks to all my friends who didn't tell me that i look like a walking zombie with horrible gothic eye makeup that smudged. I appreciate your kind intentions.

Life has been beautiful recently and I hope it stays this way.

I didn't know I can be dead tired yet happy, contented and grateful at the same time.
It never occurred to me that I can be the person I always wanted to be. Let's just say I'm pretty much amazed at myself, by myself and with myself.

Been acting like a workaholic desperately clocking OTs when i actually don't really need them. Making myself tired, but contented. It's as if I am making progress doing what i can with all i have. I mean, everyone loves to see a little more of Yusof Ishak.. Who doesn't? Even if it means sacrificing some beauty sleep and suffering from the effects of dark circles and eyebags..

WQ's interpretation is right. and the number 8 is the sign of infinity.

Met up with Jo and Tina today at our fav makan place. I like the kind of feeling of seeing each other and knowing that we're still the same persons, but better. Sharing the going-ons and knowing that we're all good and happy, albeit tired. Finally gotten the Taipei picture book. Love the fact that we share a common experience and that no matter how long time passes, we can bring up the same thing and recap the experiences once again.

The only issue i have now is that i've been missing the weekly gatherings for two consecutive weeks.. Haven been spending enough time with my family. Can't remember the last time i ate dinner at home with my mom and sis. Think May. So please just imagine how much i am looking forward to a good home cooked meal served piping hot straight from the pan. That is sheer indulgence in comparison to cafeteria food. Her cooking beats that of a 5* hotel's fare. Really. To me.

I'm so looking forward to work tomorrow.

The sunnier Sunday is, the better Monday will be.

Just one of the rare family gatherings which we talk about whom we'll never forget.

No issues about who they were, but rather what they liked, how we felt and the going ons then..

Reminisces... Been so fast yeah.. almost a year.. since i sat alone in SW2104 lecture listening to the crap about growing old and dying when someone close really did passed on..

My maternal Grandpa knew what happened two week ago.. the incident blew out of proportion and he apologised. that was an unforgettable episode and credits go to my Grandma..

He seems to enjoy the ride home everytime i drive.. saying good good good~
I enjoy it too.. knowing that things can happen anytime.. tonight he was saying that he got just a couple of years more to live.. and that 80 is enough for him.. saying that he has no wish to live to 90 at all.. i dont like it when the old speculate just how long more they WANT to live; it's like predetermining your will to go on.. everyone, especially him.

Tomorrow is Youth Day. as if it makes any difference to me. i have to work. oh crap. and i'm a youth who's not entitled to youth day. and cheers, to MORE OT tomorrow. yeah right.
This is turning into a dumping ground for crap. serious.

I'm making improvement. Work is getting worse at a slower rate.

Some guest named K C made my day today, with a one-liner in his email correspondence..
Something to do with GEM.. I feel so proud of myself.. *yaya.. buay paiseh ar***

Wanted to ask the almighty Lee whether i can wear jeans to work since i am allowed (by left) to wear casual attire - skirts. By right i was supposed to don office attire for all 6 days. but dressing up and looking like a 25-yo aint really what i look forward to.. but i know his answer anyway. He likes his female subordinates looking like OLs.. with knee length skirt, court shoes, nice blouse, blazer and makeup. damn.

Meeting with the Odin peeps always makes me feel youthful again. Wasnt in the right capacity to learn and play new games. My mind is fried and everything is playing on slow-mo beside me. Work has been this dreary monotonous series of actions that i perform for the sake of the payslip at the end of the month. and now that it's the start of the month again, i shall wait for the end of the month to come.
