good to see you

good to see my sec sch mates at the wedding, especially the guys. HAHA not that the girls are not important or my female hormones are booming, it’s just that it’s been so long since i last saw the guys. I meet up with the girls much more often uh huh. Esther suggested steamboat before CNY and Nike requested for gathering. And erm we kinda agreed that Janey shall be the organizer. Thank you thank you. You know what to do. ah ha. Okay, after your ROM for Universal Studios/Sentosa. Jane, can tell me what is “la-la-la” secretly? tsk… curiosity kills.

This weekend should be interesting too, going out and breaking my bones while doing spring cleaning. I’ve been cleaning for so many days, basically, I changed the layout of my room (shifted the wardrobe, cupboards etc), wipe every corners of my room etc. I’ve thrown so many things away too, 旧的不去新的不来. Come come, new stuffs.

And I’m going st.james dragonfly tonight for yoga’s live performance. wee wee i’m gonna catch him live. Actually, it’s nothing new.. I’ve been to his concert before but… nevermind. I hope i can enjoy his performance throughout though I’m sick-but-better-already.

And yes, I was sick after Esther’s wedding… Fever, sore throat and body aches caught up with me. I was cursing and tossing around on my bed while trying to fight off the virus. I swore to recover before CNY so that I can munch on the CNY goodies without any worries. Okay, maybe there’s this ‘weight-issue’ to worry but hmmmm… eat first then say lar..

gong xi fa cai!

hello

I’ve been wanting to blog but couldn’t find a right day to do so. Now, while I’m waiting for my hair to dry, I typed this on my lil Smartphone. Very smart.

I’ve been quite packed these few weeks… meeting some friends esp the sistars and tweety, helping Esther with her wedding stuffs, preparing Esther’s hen’s night surprise gift (mostly Jane’s work but at least I took the time and effort to edit photos and go her hse do till midnight okay), cny spring cleanings & shopping… In fact, I’m just back from a talk that I signed up with tweety. It has got nothing to do with design, more of personal development and future prospect stuffs. Tml I’m going for Evvon’s birthday celebration with the sistars. Yip yip, I’m pretty energetic now and I’m having my period. Make sense?

Next week will still be as packed till CNY’s over, I supposed so. While I can, I shall say my piece before I fell asleep.

ON WORK LIFE

Work’s pretty stagnant. I’m working on some Singtel stuffs. Wow, some may say: “Wa! Singtel leh, not bad! ” But oh please, I’m doing the cny/valentines MMS for them. So it’s really, nothing impressive. Once in a while Nippon Paint comes in. As usual. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results.

ON FRIENDS

To different friends, I’ve got different stuffs to say. LOL.

ESTHER

Yes, the donkey. I don’t think you’ll be reading this coz you don’t read blogs or I don’t think you’ve got my blog address. Anyway, being your 12 years of friend and part of the sistar’s member,  I’m really happy for you as you finally found the man of your life, someone to share your joy and worries with, for you to lean on and are able to provide you with the sense of security. I didn’t expect you to get married at this age because you’d always come upon as someone who’s very career-minded, strong, independent and hmmm.. realistic. LOL. However, ever since you met Alex, everything changed. You will be Mrs Lew coming Sunday! Quote from Crystal: “Damn! Why is everyone getting married so early?”

Anyway, I believe you will have a blissful marriage! *Hugs hugs*

JANE

Another one to get married real soon, since ROM date fixed already huh. HAHA lotsa things to say to you, may be a bit mushy. Nevermind, I don’t say now must wait till when?

I remember you told us not to 看好you and Alan because you don’t want to live in expectations and a lot of the 被看好的relationships will end up… like Lydia and Wenhao. =P So, we didn’t看好you all and now you see!! You’re not cursed! You’re getting married!  Of coz I’m happy for you like I do for Esther… In fact, something more… You’re like the total opposite of Esther in terms of personality. You’re not career-minded, not strong, not very independent, very untidy, gossipy… blah blah blah. The best thing I found in you, is that you’ve got one of the purest heart in… Singapore. Haha. And that’s all. Hahaha. Kidding la. You know you are nice, that’s why you’re surrounded by nice people like Deborah, Esther, Evvon, Maggie, Wenhao, Zhimin, Daren and most importantly, me sey. XD Aiya too many things to tell you lar, next time then tell you, if not my blog will be full of you. So disgusting.

ID NUMBER X01

This particular friend, I’ve decided to refer to you as X01. I don’t know what’s wrong with you and I don’t think I want to find out because the way you spoke to me makes me sick. Since I’m pretty sure you’re not going to be the friend who will stick with me till my dying day and vice versa, let’s not waste our time.

ID NUMBER S02

Hello S02. We haven’t been speaking to each other for some time ever since I told you that whichever decision you make, you’ll be responsible for it and I don’t want to affect your decision much. If you feel like telling me, you will and you can. I’m still on MSN during weekdays and my Smartphone is still very smart. If you still feel that I’m not obliged to listen to you on stuffs which I’m not supportive of and feel bad for interrupting me with this kind of stuffs. Then, I suppose… Let it be. I do read your blog entries and statuses so don’t worry, I’m not ‘casting you aside’. Or maybe you never worry I don’t know LOL. Read that you’re working part-time now, not a bad idea. When it’s time to move on, you will and I will too.

ON LOVE

(empty)

I’m stressed. Sistars and mother stressing me on this. I’m in no hurry still because I seriously don’t know what I want. Ask me what kind of man I’m looking for a dozen times and I still can’t give you all an answer. That day I managed to say.. “er.. clean?” You all were like mocking me saying what “walao who like dirty one?” KNS. Then still ask me for what? To me, it’s still the same case, got feel means got feel. No have means no have. Can click means can click, cannot means cannot. I’ll know when I know…

ON FAMILY

Everything’s fine. Mother, father and brother still the same. I still love them very much though I really hope my brother can stop waking me up every sat morning in order to get me watch Naruto with him. I like the anime but I love sleeping more.

ON MYSELF

Still the same old same.

Gone, play on
Oh gone, play on
Gone, play on”

happy new year

Before the first day of the brand new year ends, I would love to wish myself happy new year, may everything be fine and nice. Same to all. Can you believe? It’s 2010 now… I’m older again. damn it!

coming to an end

Managed to catch 2012 yesterday with BB, not bad but i prefer the day after tomorrow. Maybe it’s because 2012 seems a bit exaggerated and I can’t feel it coming. The fact that they were already rushing for time yet the leads still can give each other a heart-melting kiss was so duh….. i rolled my eyes.

Alright, so what if the end of the world is really coming and it’s 2012? What will I be doing then? Probably, eat myself to death with my family, since weight and health won’t be an issue then. BB was saying, maybe we can have a last party with close friends and our families. Not a bad idea. Oh, not forgetting those touching drama moments like hugging and kissing your parents, telling them how much you love them… It’s a must do. The last thing I would do then, would be working and trying to figure out some css/html codes.

What else, walked around Iiii-on and alright, not everything found there is nice. The minced pork noodle at the food hall sucks and R-burger is not as fantastic as the ads. More to try. Side track, eh my art friend membership haven expire! Back, Mama went Korea the day before, sponsored by my aunt. I gave her some money to spend thou. Pek cek, mama go overseas still need aunt to sponsor. I wonder what I’m doing. It’s not as if I never save, I did. But the bills, money to give parents, insurance, repay study loans, expenses and stuffs…

Okay, year end is coming soon. Bonus? 13 month?

Been listening to Yoga 林宥嘉new album recently. It’s really hard to find a quality mandopop album (thou this is not really a typical mandopop album) like this nowadays, considering that everything has gotten more and more commercialized. This is worth the money i spent, almost every track is impressive. I know, some of my friends asked me why I like S.H.E when i didn’t really like commercialized mandopop. The thing is, I like them for their attitude, friendship and personality, not really their music especially the recent FM album. As for hebe, it’s a different case. I felt that she…has a.. 非主流灵魂生在主流体里. She’s capable of doing the kind of music that may be off-mainstream and hard to sell/digest for some. (like, how many people actually listen to Sandee Chan’s award winning album? Some don’t even know who is the hell is she) Just heard over the radio, Yoga said he was amazed by hebe and quite a lot of music he like now was actually recommended by her, eg Rachael Yamagata, Ann Sally (i wish you love)… Oh, for me, it’s baobei who recommended Rachael Yamagata to me. That’s why I’m looking forward to the solo album that she is going to have but its taking ages. -.-” I hope she can be persistent in getting the kind of music she wanted, like what Yoga did, argue with the producer etc. Cool! Indie music 万岁！

Apply it to the design works I’m doing. Sometimes, I wish i am more persistent and not swaying to the commercialized world without knowing when and why.

P/S: I wrote on twitter that i really dislike people who point their finger directly at your face no matter the reason, unless we’re staging a drama and I know you’re going to do that with my approval. If not, it’s really rude. I really mean that.

boiling

A friend called to ask me help her find a female part-timer for a event/roadshow the day before the event. Alright, i send smses around and another friend got back to me, expressing her sister’s interest in the job. Nice, i thought everything would be fine.

Late night, friend told me her sister can’t make it because her elder sis is against the idea. She’s very sorry for the trouble and apologized to me. I wasn’t angry with her, but i was worried what if my friend can’t find a replacement in time? I told friend about it and upon hearing the news, she was pissed and ranting about how can someone be so irresponsible. I apologized to her and told her I will try to help her find replacement again. She say okay, we’ll keep each other informed.

So I sent dozens of smses around, ringing up some friends. Some replied, and i’m thankful for that. However, almost all can’t make it. Too last minute or don’t have white polo tee. Nice janey even asked her sister to ask around. Her sis called up her friends and her friend’s friends. That was near 1a.m. Finally, one was interested and say if she could get the pay on the spot upon completing the work, then she’s alright with it. Nice. I was relieved for a while and i tried to ring my friend back and inform her of the availability.

Guess what. This friend, never picked up my calls, neither did she reply my smses. Gone in the air somehow, suddenly. How am i supposed to feel? I’m doing you a favor because i think of you as someone who’s nice and responsible. You made me waste my time, money and even felt so guilty when that sis can’t make it suddenly. I’m so pissed that I told Jane and her sis to forget the whole thing and get to sleep. I really do appreciate what they did, not forgetting wenhao and those who replied too.

To her:
I will never help you find part-timers ever again, unless you learn how to appreciate others’ help.

Personal note:
Not everyone is worth helping, be selective.

Alright, anger aside. Past week wasn’t so nice, mainly because I didn’t catch enough sleep. Weds night, cousin came over to borrow my macbook to do her homework in iMovie. She… Wasn’t someone of normal frequency and behavior so i had a hard time communicating with her… Fearing that i might hurt her emotions or caused her to be stressful.

Halfway doing her work, she would jump onto my bed and start rolling on it. For someone, who’s a cleanliness freak, I almost cut my throat. My bed is on my top no-touch list. She completely don’t know what she was doing and yet can’t bring herself to do it… She was taking random video of my fan, my guitar etc… And she left around 3a.m. I was very sleepy then considering that usually I sleep at 11p.m and wake at 6+a.m. So after she left, I had to change my bedsheets if not I wouldn’t be able to sleep (peacefully), and yes, I went to took a bath again. In the end, I only managed to sleep around 4 and wake at 6+ to prepare for work. So, I was pretty restless on thurs but during night time, Debbie needs my help in Photoshop so i promised to teach her.

Wasn’t able to change day so i sleep late again on thurs, restless again on friday. Friday, wasn’t very nice… because I wasn’t satisfied with a work I’m doing and I’m tired. Illustration for a website. The painting style. I didn’t like it but my boss wanted it that way… I don’t think that really suits but at that point of time, I have no idea how to improve it. Then again, who am I to speak? If he think that’s what he prefer, then I suppose I have no way to say no, because I have no valid reason for it. I wasn’t able to show him a better alternative and so, let it be. Before that, I was doing some NP *roll eye* stuffs and premiums that will never be used.

I think I’ve got bad attitude towards my boss near the end of the day (I do think he sensed that), after feeling pek cek over some stuffs, and running late for dinner with some friends. I don’t like to be late, and I don’t like people to be late as well. Probably, I also don’t understand why my boss like to talk to us near the knocking off time, and it’s a bit paiseh to interrupt his speech even when I had something on or purely mental block. Oh, I do think that my thinking is very different from my boss’s, and sometimes, it’s pointless to tell him what I think because if i say them too bluntly, it’s attitude problem. I know I can be very hurting in words, so most of the time, I do try to hide some, or just don’t talk about it. Then, that’s the way I am. My world is exaggerated, so are my emotions.

Nah, I’m actually fine now.

tsk.

sickofnpdesign

i am so sick of doing designs for np. not ngee ann poly. i dun even dare to call them designs.

from mugs to banner(s), calender(s), machine sticker, ccm, shirts, tissue box, standees, videos and now chinese new year angbao n greeting card. what’s next?

its a yearly thing i see. last yr was bat, now np. like… couldn’t humans just meet up with one another instead of  sending cards? LOL

slap me.

so plain and simple that’s boring

At this point of time, i’m feeling darn bored and i don’t know what to do. Actually, it’s more like  i’ve got too much things to do and i don’t know which one to start with. I desired for things but i take no action. I dream of the impossible(s), trying to make some possible but so far, it’s not feasible.

Talking about dreams. The night before, i dreamt of myself in WWIII. Bombings everywhere and people dying, i see no blood. i tried so hard to escape and i found myself inside this factory basement like place. I hid behind some cupboards and those terrorists appeared. I freaked out and was praying hard they don’t spot me. The funny part comes in. These terrorists opened a door infront of them and started jamming john mayer’s songs and so, i was saved. Guess what. I told myself in the dream that this dream is not logical and i shouldn’t be dreaming this kinda thing. But i’m still dreaming! Let me rephrase. I told myself in the dream, to not dream illogical dreams. Okay, nvm.

Back to what I wanna do.

I wanted to do some illustrations but i don’t know what to draw. Okay, i know i should be practicing to draw some feminine handbags and all (for my work purpose) but i’m not really interested in that. I’m not a good fashion illustrator..But, nah.. i’ll still try to learn how to draw those girl stuffs. O ya, i forgot i girl lar. LOL.

I wanted to learn AS3.0 but i’m stuck, at the very start.

I wanted to write a Chinese fiction, but i’ve no storyline in mind.

I wanted to go Langkawi with my family at the end of the year, but I don’t have so much money to pay for all.

I wanted to solve my knee problem but i don’t know how.

I wanted to take cervical cancer vaccination but then the adverse effects news report freaked me out so I don’t think I’ll take it. LOL.

and I wanted to ….

happy 21st to baobei

hey see, i’m so nice that i dedicate an entry to you on your very big day.

First of all, I shall do some mentioning on your early celebration we had on the 26th. You know, the initial plan was not like this but since you requested for a change then we shall go according to it. So, we had a sing out loud session @ Lucky Chinatown, korean BBQ buffet dinner @ Bugis street and late night drink drank drunk @ Sentosa. Nice, except for that korean bbq which Jane insisted on it being very nice.

We performed for you in the ktv and you had your vids taken. keep them well, watch it when we grow old and can no longer sing or dance like that. It’s a pity that you don’t get to sing your ‘Sorry sorry’ but nvm, there’s always another chance. Like you, we shall skip the korean bbq part and jump straight to the late night fun.

Sentosa. A place i seldom go. Nicer than before, with the right people and weird timing. Who the hell go Sentosa near midnight to drink and chat yet leave the place around 5am without watching the sunrise? ‘HEE!’ The weather was damn bad that night, humid. What made us even ’sweat-ier’ were the drinks we had. I thought I’ve quit drinking? But for your sake, it’s alright. I’ll have a drink or two. okay, i had more. LOL. It’s feels so funnei to see you all having red lil or big face as if you all just went wayang. Yee was the first one to go down while ET went bonkers. I love seeing her in an ecstatic mood coz it’s very funnnnnneeiii. But o well, it’s a pity that I didn’t get to see you behaving the way she do. The chivas is not enough to make you drunk hur? Wellie, we still hope you enjoyed the day and find those stupid/funnei moments memorable. After all, you’re 21 now. Officially an adult with much more responsibilities that you can imagine.

Now, words from me.

We’ve the kind of love-hate relationship that it is complicated. *for others who may be reading, NO, we are not lovers and we won’t be. LOL*

I don’t even know I should consider you as my friend or lil sister. Whenever we’re troubled, we share our worries. well, maybe not all the time haha. When we’re bored, we’ll message each other. The first message will always be, “B, what are you doing?” Sounds like some possessive love-birds? LOL! In actual fact, we both know that it’s because we are damn bored and was trying to get a reply to start a topic and chat from there onwards. It’s not like we really care where i’m at or where you’re at. MUAHAHA. And i don’t even noe since when and why you started to call me B instead of Baobei?

Okay, the story behind the ‘baobei’ thing. That was years ago, when i hardly even know you. We went for a badminton game with the rest and you know me as ‘toopid’ and i call you ‘ph’. Inside a washroom, you say i looked small so you would like to call me baobei. then call wing ‘girlfriend’ etc, easier to remember this way. I said okay lor, den i call you baobei back lor since i also don’t know what to call. That’s how we started this baobei thing!!! now, some of my other friends and even my boss will refer you as, baobei. Yang baobei. LOL.

Yang baobei, we both are very stubborn people so we had so many moments of disagreements before. And i think *after* too. We used to get frustrated and heated discussion on some stupid newspaper article, like some gender equality issue or people having sexual acts way too early. It’s like both of us will want our points to be taken and in the end, it’s either we buay tahan and decides to change a topic or we’ll just went off to cool down. LOL! Still, we’ll look for one another some days later and start another chat. maybe get into disagreements again. LOL.

I don’t think we had major argument before yet.. those really big ones.. at most we don’t speak to each other like… a month or two? actually i can’t really remember. Coz usually, you will give in and initiate to talk to me. hahaha. After that, you will keep grumbling and whine about how much you gave in to me and stuffs. tskk~~ i know i’m the fortunate one. LOL. But hey! i bring you lotsa entertainment too horkay, you said i’m one of your funniest friend and it’s so good to have me around you, rmb? that’s why you have a price to pay.

And since i’m a not so bad adviser, listener and entertainment-er, you’ve to cherish me. domineering right? i don’t care. *spins*

Without me, you will have lesser sense of security among some people, less funnei moments, no one to bicker with you, no one to look at you innocently in order to hint that her bag is heavy, no one for you to pat her head, no one for you to hug when you needed one, no one to help you photoshop your photos, other people who snores to sleep beside you… the list goes on. see my importance?

Without you, i will have no one to help me carry my bag (actually there’s Evvon), no one to help me download albums, no one to smack, no one to act cute to, no one to go thru morning sinus process in ah ji’s hse with me, no one to split my gain and lost @ the mahjiong table, no one to rub my head, no one to cover my mouth/face using her super sweaty palms… the list goes on too. i see your importance.

my boss said, to strike a balance in your life, you need a dog and a cat. one to adore you and one to ignore you. I had this feeling that, if you’re the pet of my life, you’ll be my dog. and if i’m your pet of your life, i’ll be the cat. MUAHAHHAHA.

YPH! Happy YPH day to you! Although you’re of a legal age to decide your own stuffs already, but you will still be under my control as long as you are in singapore. HAHAHHA u cannot escape my small claws~ HEE!

Stay happy and sometimes cute okay?! u know u love me HAHAHAHAHAHA

YAYY!!! *spins*

me-girl-next-door

Someone told me i’m that kinda girl-next-door type instead of bitchy ones because i’m not yet qualified for it. lol. define bitch.

anyway, i saw this ms singapore, ris low’s interview clips on razortv. omg. what happened to the judges? ridiculous.

video link 1 video link 2

For the past week, i’ve been watching movies everyday while traveling to and fro my work place. download them on tom365, convert to mp4 and load them into my beloved ipod. Managed to watch movies like Twilight, 17 Again, A.I, Iron man, Ratatouille… I’ve even downloaded Titanic because, ahem uhm I never watch that before. As in I love to watch movies but I don’t do that often especially when I’m in my sec sch days. No $ no luxury. Nvm, now I have tom365. And erm, The pursuit of happyness is one nice one. Yup, a lot should have seen it already hurhur. I’m so slow…

My brother quited his job again and one income less for my family now. Sometimes I wonder when can my father retire and when can we live a better life with no worries on material stuffs. No, we’re not starving.

Work wise, been dealing with After Effects recently and it felt… weird. The previous time when I last touch that was during Motion Graphics in Year 1? Meaning like 3 years ago? That time it was still After Effects 6.5 and now, CS3. We don’t have CS4. The awkward and contradicting part was that I know it’s always nice to learn something ‘new’ or almost ‘new’ but then again, I know very well I’m not going to do MG in the future and it’s not going to be on my portfolio, neither on my company’s portfolio. So, when my boss asked me to do that, i don’t really know how to react.

It’s like I know I have no choice but to do it and it won’t be a fantastic job because I don’t have a good understanding of the software, what’s possible and what’s not. When my boss say “You can de lar, I know you can de” and walks off, I know very well… he’s telling me to just get it done somehow and yes, I know I can finish it on time but it’s not going to be a quality work. If I can do very good video/MG, then I will be in some other related company. Then again, I supposed he don’t have much choice now… everything’s quite… rojak. So hopefully, like what he said, things will get better when the damn system is up. Now, underachieving.

That’s my boring work life.
