Another drunken night

Before & After

Boss requested that those people who got promoted should give the whole department a treat and so all of us went to Riverside to have a sumptuous seafood dinner. Very sedap!

And as expected, the gang booked a KTV room, for a night of drinking and singing after dinner. Even our Malay colleagues joined us.

This time since the Ah Bengs, on knowing that I am able to hold my liquor rather well, kept getting me to drink. And it was when I noticed something rather interesting. Its not the amount of alcohol that made one drunk but rather how well one is able to control the rate at which the beer react with your system. Its like the more active I am, the faster I will get drunk..

Ok, I don think I am making any sense here, forget it...

Anyway, I did not get as drunk as the previous time. I did get a little tipsy but I can still walk in a straight line and did not topple over the stairs. I did not puke when I came home and most of all, I did not have a hangover the next morning. In fact, I woke up at 530am even though I slept at 1am last night. And I was rather awake although a little grumpy cos I did not have enough hours of sleep last night.

And then tonight, David and Tiff wanted to drag my ass off for more drinking again.. I surrendered. My body can only take so much abuse for a week. And I need sleep. Desperately..

Luckily, I don have to work tomorrow. (Finally!)

More crappy stuff about me!

I received this in my email today.. rather accurate I must say..!

Choices (part 3)

Its really funny how sometimes when you have made up your mind over something and then some other forces, (of nature?) came along and throw all your balance off-tangent. Confusing but yet, deep down, you already know what you are going to do, its just a matter of accepting yourself and then admitting that what you have been doing all along are just so pointless.

Its like you have already plan to go down a certain path in a silent and lonely wood during a dark winter night, with silence as companion. The path may be very treacherous and tough but its the path that you have choosen and you resolved to walk the path to end, no matter how much you will get hurt. Walking down a dark and treacherous path alone in tears.

And suddenly one day, out of nowhere, you met something so distracting, warm and extraordinary. Its so distracting that its taking all the attention away from your walk. And the more you walk towards the distraction, the more you realize that there really is no point being so stubborn. There is really no point in feeling the hurt over and over again just so that the memories will stay with you. Its a matter of accepting that what had happened is over and done with. Memories will always remain as such, memories, somthing which gives hope and yet destroys when too much are being invested in them.

The path does not seem so treacherous anymore and the surroundings are not so dark anymore. In fact, everything are clearer and lighter.

The burden of regret and hurt seem so much lighter..

Changes or maturity?

Its funny how much I have changed after working. Lets see..

I used to be very quick tempered and will take things very seriously. I don like to be told what to do and was rather rebellious. The more anyone ordered me to do anything, the more I would want to ignore it and do it the other way round. Another thing is that I will never be able to take it if I got any scoldings, even if it were my fault. Thats the reason why I will never be suited to work in the customer service line. I was so affected by the nasty comments of customers that my temping period as a CSO was really miserable. I hated it.

Then I surprised myself today while I was chatting with the cabbie tonight. He was complaining how he had met a lot of weird customers. Some of them are very nasty ones. So I told him my experience yesterday.

A customer called me up and demanded that I provide him some shipping documents. But I had never heard of him before, not to mention his company. He was already very sacarstic when he called, commenting on my capability and my inteligence. Here I was, trying my best to help him with his problem and there he was being a pig, shouting at me and making snide remarks about me. In the end, I told him that I really had difficulties helping him cos I had no idea who was in charge of his shipment. He told me off and then slammed down the phone on me.

Strangely enough, I did not feel angry but find the whole incident rather hilarious. I was actually scolded for nothing! In the past, I would be so pissed that I might even call up the person and ask him to get his facts right and then go fuck his mother.

So I told my cabbie tonight that in the end, we are all just trying to earn a living. It is just work so there is no need to get personal with which ever assholes that he picked up as customers. Its no big deal.

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I was like "Woah! I did not imagine that I would be capable of such deep words!"

So I have come to a conclusion. Its either I have matured or its either I don give a damn about how others treat me. Either way, I hope its a change for the better..

Endless Love

解开我最神秘的等待
Unravel my mystic awaiting
星星坠落风在吹动
The stars have fallen, the wind is blowing
终于再将你拥入怀中
Finally I can embrace you again
两颗心颤抖
Two hearts quivering together

相信我不变的真心
Believe me, I have remained true
千年等待有我承诺
Thoursand years of an undying promise
无论经过多少的寒冬
No matter the passing winters
我决不放手
I will never let you go

现在紧抓住我的手闭上眼睛
Now close your eyes and hold on tightly to me
请你回想起过去我们恋爱的日子
Please recall the times when we were in love
我们是因为太爱
We loved too much
所以更使得我们痛苦
And so the pain now
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
With not even a chance to utter words of love

每一夜被心痛穿越
Each night is filled with a piercing pain
思念永没有终点
With a deep longing
早习惯了孤独像随
Long used to such loneliness
我微笑面对
I faced my torment with a smile
相信我已选择等待
Believe me, I chose to wait
再多苦痛也不闪躲
And will never hide, no matter the anguish
只有你的温柔能解救
Only your gentleness can save me
无边的冷漠
From my cold abyss

现在紧抓住我的手闭上眼睛
Now close your eyes and hold on tightly to my hands
请你回想起过去我们恋爱的日子
Please recall the times when we were in love
我们是因为太爱
We loved too much
所以更使得我们痛苦
And so the pain now
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
With not even a chance to utter words of love

让爱成为你我心中
Let the love in our hearts
那永远盛开的花
Blossom like a flower forever
穿越时空绝不低头永不放弃的梦
Traveling through an unawakening dream

我们是因为太爱
We loved too much
所以更使得我们痛苦
And so the pain now
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
With not even a chance to utter words of love

让爱成为你我心中
Let the love in our hearts
那永远盛开的花
Blossom like a flower forever
我们千万不要忘记我们的约定
Lets not forget our undying promise
唯有真爱追随你我
With only true love as our companion
穿越无尽时空
Traveling through time and space
我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲
With not even a chance to utter words of love

爱是心中唯一不变美丽的神话
Love is the only unfaltering myth

Lone ranger

I worked till 6pm today. Exactly 6pm and I stepped out of the office. I was prepared to continue working, perhaps all through the night if if possible but I was too tired. My body did not want to cooperate with my mind anymore. And the office was getting very hot and stuffy with the air-con turned off.

You asked, "why work until so late on a weekend? Why not go out and have fun, enjoy yourself and relax?"

Two reasons. One, I have a lot of work which does not seem to be able to get over and done with. If I do not clear them, my boss will probably chop my head off and use it as a soccer ball.

The second reason is more melodramatic. I guess there really is nothing for me to look forward to and nothing for me to enjoy during the weekend. Even if I am not working, I will most probably be rotting at home, staring at my iBook and surfing the net.

It was dark when I reached home. My parents were out, dating. My dog was locked in the kitchen and my sis was all dressed out and preparing to go out and enjoy her Sat night.

"Where were you the whole day?" Sis asked the moment she saw me.

"Work lah, what else."

"The whole day? Tot you went out after your work..."

So there you go, thats me, with my pathetic life. Its not that I do not want to go out and have fun but nothing much interests me these days. Christ, even my boss asked me not to always stay in the office until so late and go out have fun, meet some boys, or maybe even date some of the guys in the office..

And reading through some of the blogs about how these guys went out to watch shows with their wives, how they are enjoying their married lives with their other halves, just make the loneliness even more acute.. (Incidentally, I am listening to Akon's Lonely on iTunes.. Drats...)

Anyway.. I used to think that I want to stay single and be carefree. I do not want to get involved perhaps cos I have no confidence in myself or relationships. Its too complicated for a simple girl like me to get into, I hate to get entangled into relationships, or perhaps its just cos I am trying to protect myself. Whatever the case, I just want to be left alone.

Yet, it seems that there is always something missing. I am not saying that I need a man to complete my life or whatever crap like that. I am talking about companionship or just the basic human-to-human communication and interactions. Coming back home after a long day at work on a weekend and seeing that your house was emptied of laughters, smiles, talks, gossiping etc, just does not seem right. And hearing your brother saying sweet nothings and flirting with his girlfriend on the phone, your sister all dressed up to meet her boyfriend and remembering that your parents were out dating just makes the loneliness even worse.

There was this classic anecdote which I often tell my friends. One Sunday afternoon, my sis and bro brought their other half back home. My parents were in the bedroom laughing at one of their silly jokes again, my bro was having breakfast together his girl and my sis was playing with Ozzie with her boyfriend. I was the only who was facing an inorganic mater, my PC and my lappie. All of them were laughing with another human while I can only tap in silent on my iB or my PC.. At first, I was too engrossed in my tapping and then suddenly I realized that the house seemed to be more alive. There were laughters and barkings (Ozzie) all around. I looked up from my stuff and then just had this funny feeling that I did not belong at all. I felt forgotten and left out. So I did the next best thing, I took my iB into my room, locked the door and then went to sleep. On a clear Sunday late morning.

Well, at least now I am being kept busy by my work. Lets just hope that I can continue staying as busy like this so I do not have to be reminded that forgotten feeling again. Or whatever melodramatic shit.

Porsche Boxster

I cleared a shipment for this car today.

Headache siah....

Seems like nothing will go right for this shipment. First, delayed in payment to the shipping line cos my daily despatch went down before I can pass him the cheque. Then the shipping line was closed for the lunch hour.. So my container was delayed in getting released...

Then, got a call from the customer to tell me that he was already at our place to look at the unstuffing when I distinctively told him that we can only get ready for him at around 5-6pm. That was only 3pm then. Got a blasting from customer as a result.

Next, there wasn't enough drivers to truck this container to our yard here. Everything was delayed until 8 plus when the small little container arrived. Container was unstuffed and car was brought out. But tow truck was not here yet cos he went for a quick dinner and forgot the timing... Sheesh.. Got a scolding from me as a result, since I got another scolding from the customer..

At the end of the day however, when I saw the exquisite car loaded onto the tow truck, safe and sound, I felt a very weird sense of satisfaction. I have done my job, even though I got a couple of scolding from the customer due to some hiccups here and there..

All in a day's work...

Tired now..

My potrait!

Kiss me and I shall be your princess tonight! :D

I'll be there..

Over mountains, over trees, over oceans, over seas
across the desert I'll be there...
In the whisper on the wind.. on the smile of a new friend
Just think of me and I'll be there...

Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight
To be with you..
Cause I'm on your side
I still care...
I may have died but I've gone nowhere..
Just think of me and
I'll be there...

On the edge of a waking dream..
Over rivers, over streams,
Through wind and rain
I'll be there...

Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I'll fly to be with you
I'll be there...

In the breath of the wind that sighs
Oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me..
I'll be there....

This is such a sad and beautiful song....
