dead fish playground

am still figuring out how to use this damn thing.

Baby met with a (minor) accident last evening (my midnight) when I was talking to him on the phone. That emotions and feelings stirred by that statement just engraved right into my memory so deeply that I will never forget about it. “Baby, i just met an accident. I will call you back in a while”

With a “Oh ok, bye”. I hung up immediately. I was hoping that it wasn’t something serious. My logic told me that it could be nothing serious cos he was still able to tell me that he met with an accident and to call me back. Somehow, I could sense the anger in his tone when he informed me of the accident. I was worried that he might smash up the person who knocked into him. I wanted to dial his number so badly but I knew I had to just wait patiently for him to call back. The silence in the bedroom was killing me.

After 10 – 15 mintues of waiting ( or perhaps shorter than that?), he called back. He was safe and I was relieved. Never mind about the side mirror, never mind about the scratch. So long as he is safe and not hurt, all is fine.

We were both going through patch at work. He had his share of shit, and so did I. I knew I sounded pretty cold and unfriendly when I answered his call, and I’m guilty of that. I felt even worse when I knew that he got shits from his boss. Anyway, I just hope things turn better for him.

I am facing some problem with one of my shipment to India at work, and I’m quite frustrated with it because that would means more work and time spent on investigating the case. wah lao oi. It was meetings and meetings with alot of colleauges coming down from all over the world, and alot of travel arrangements to be made, and I have to follow up with the hotel in Sydney on one of the over-charging that was done.. too little time to handle too many things. Plus, I had been having a seriousl sleeping problem since Sunday night, and apparently that didn’t help me much in my concentration level during work. And I’ve to say, my face didnt’ turn out to be as friendly as normal at work.

Well, I’m actually feeling quite alright except that my tolerance level has dropped by a few levels, and my tolerance for nonsense became zero for the past three days. But yeah, despite of all these, I’m still alright. I will get by. This is just another phase of busy time. I usually just get by. Been the case for me all these years.

Brought the Vietnam and Philippines colleauges to Chinatown for local food last evening followed by a round of beer at Crazy Elephant at the Clarke Quay. It was actaully a good time to bring them around to Chinatown because of the lantern lightings that was set up for the mooncake festival. I miss talking to Vietnamese. I used to deal with Vietnamese every single day in my previous job and I had so much fun with them. Talking to my vietnamese colleagues last night just stirred my memories and emotions. We shared about our cultures and office knowledge (gossips) and we all had a great time. Somehow, we’ve a better relationship which I know will be good for future work.

And this evening, I went to Jumbo Seafood at Dempsey Hill with the global colleagues (from all over the world). Of course, colleagues from other departments as well. It was quite bored initially because I was just “alone”. Everyone were either of manager levels or heads of somethng something. I was just a team assistant. Things were alot better when my boss made it for dinner after his interview with a candidate after office hours. I just sat there quiet absorbing whatever that I could that was shared by others over the table. I realised that there are even more things that I could learn!

It was later when some left and I had to join table with the rest… some colleagues from other departments were singing praises for me in front of my boss which got me quite embarassed. However that made me feel good cos I believe I like to have my boss to be proud of his hire. And I guess I’m the only one of his so many hires who is extrovert!

Chatted to a few heads of something and something, and this colleague who is pretty “infamous” actually exclaimed that he didn’t knew about me at all until this evening. I couldn’t helped it and I had to tell him straight in the face that I’ve shook hands with him and introduced ourselves to each other in the office sometime back… *grins*

Now, here’s the mundane update for last week… or to updates about my life

1. Played badminton, am going to do it again

2. Went for photoshooting, am going to do it again..

3. Watched movies

4. Did some planning for weddings

5. Gathering with my diploma classmates

6. Drafted my itinerary for my trip

7. Boss gave me a present which I like. Can’t share what’s it here. Ask me privately if you like to.

8. Bought a new pair of shoes

9. Gotten my Allure hairmist from Chanel

10. Bought my external Hdd.

Checked the Canon’s cameras out also.. they’ve got a pretty good deals for their DSLR. A pity that I can’t bear to part with my thousands from my bank.. Well, next time when I’ve extra extra extra cash… that could wait.

I wanted to get a 3-in-1 printer as well, but decided to save that $159. And I didn’t want to lug it around while waiting for Larry to show up.

Went to DXO to chill out with him before heading to GV Marina to catch “Death Race”. I like the show pretty much. I liked how “strategic” the racers could get. Brilliant.

While we were chilling out at DXO, there was this young man who ran himself into the transparent block of glass. He was thrown off onto the ground. He got up, looking abit seh seh. The next thing was a policeman running along. By then, the young man had already gotten running towards the entrance of the bar for his escape, which so happened to be our direction. The policeman was shouting “Chase him!”. By then, he had already ran past me and heading towards a waiter.. and that waiter went “hur?” looking damn blur. The young man ran to the road.. And there’s this security guard who was guiding the traffic tried to catch hold of him but failed. Then a young smoker was by the road side saw what was happening, ran towards the young man.. he threw himself onto the young man. And that man was pinned down. That was so dramatic!!!

Then the guy seated at the table next to us whom I believed is a Thai due to his strong thai accent asked his friend “Why is Singapore police so fat?” I took a glance at the police, and I asked myself also why also.

The indian man from the Halloween Party last night texted me… I remembered shaking him off telling him that I already have a boyfriend early this year. Anyway, Larry called him back telling him that I’m no longer using the number, which in actual fact, that could be deemed as that case cos most of my friends contact me via my work number now. Now that reminded me something… Halloween is coming soon.. I don’t hope to see him this again during this party.

Now now, next time I gotta watch my actions as they lead to consequences that I’ve to bear in the future.

Oh.. I got Eagle’s new album – Long Road Out of Eden. Considering that they haven’t cut an album for so many years, I could say this is a not bad album.

September’s going to be a busy, excting but broke month for me! That reminds me that I’ve to chase my debtors to return me $$$ that should be returned to me months back…

I like how things are right now.. very serene.. peaceful… not having to worry so much about anything or anybody… cos i just basically don’t give a damn or bother about anything much. I’ve learnt that the lesser attached you’re to something / someone, the less upset/hurt/disappointed will get.

The shits that I went through earlier this year were all blessings in disguise.

Oldman was flying off to Senegal for work and called me while he was at the airport. I’m kinda worried about him because he got bitten by a spider that caused him to have high fever and vomits. He has yet to recover from the attack and was asked to fly.

Silly him, asked me if I would miss him.

Him: “Hey baby, will you miss me?”
me: “yes, of course i would. why such silly question?”
him: “hehe, nothing. just checking.”

Whenever he travels to other part of SA for work, it would means no communications between the both of us. SMS-es to him or to me would be lost in the network, somehow. And calls is way too expensive! Having him calling from SA to Singapore is already very expensive, imagine having him to call to Singapore while he’s autoroaming in other parts of SA! I’m so used to hearing his voice everday and he’s not going to be calling for one week. wah lao.

And now, he’s not visiting SG in September which I’m glad because September is a busy month for me. He’s asked to travel to Cairo in two weeks time, and to another place which I didn’t quite catch well.

Told me that his meetings had been re-scheduled to the first or second week of October. I hope he comes during my birthday week. That reminded me of something… 九月初四 …

He’s planning for a transfer to work in Vietnam. I’m kinda reluctant of him to go over to work in Vietnam because there are so many gentle vietnamese women there! later he kena snatched away how?? ok, that’s not my main fear. It’s just that I’m not sure how receptive are the Vietnamese to foreigners… and the living condition there.. He told me he is tempted to go Vietnam to work, and I asked why. Answer was because there’s an opening there. *faints* Oh well, whatever it is, if he moves to vietnam, he’s nearer to me! But… well.. I really hope he doesn’t go to Vietnam to work.. .but then, up to him lah.

I’ve to say I’m pretty cursed on my own. They usually don’t last longer than three months. Once three months’ time is up or round the corner, things starts to happen and eventually everything will slowly come to an end.

I’m sort of resigned to such happenings. And I guess that could also be why I pick myself up fast whenever I fall.

No, it has not ended yet. But I’m prepared.

And so it is.. just like you said it would be.. life goes easy on me.. most of the time. And so it is, the shorter story, no love no glory, no hero in her sky. Can’t take my eyes of you.. I can’t take my eyes of you..

… if it has to be, so be it.. Cos it only shows that it has to be that way.
