Green


My Green Tea Ice Frappacino Posted by Hello

TGIF, the week has drawn to a close, good riddance to my job (well...for 2 days at least) everyday I trudge on, wallowing in the endless sea of complete disarray from being disillusioned working in a tiny firm for way to long.

The peanuts I'm paid does not justify the workload I'm given. It just doesn't add up. After work I hopped onto a bus and met Stephen for some coffee, as always I being extra ordered the Green Tea Ice blended which no one ever drinks anyway, while we discussed the possiblity of me working at MTV ASIA with Stephen, I just hope they are hiring.

A nice change of environment would certainly do me good, plus according to the man himself, MTV is some sort of haven offering TONNES of perks...this is making me lick my lips! :9

Erin joined me back home, poor gal so tired from all the lessons and tests, and yet she still came over, truly truly appreciative of it baby! Big BOLD KISS! MUACKz! Tom came over too, borrowed my digicam, nice to see him after so-so-so long, we chatted till midnite...What a friday evening, okie that should be enough, I deadbeat from all the running around.

Jecht Out!

Dare


someone dared me to post mushy stuff up, and I gladly accepted...coz I damn super duper thick skin hehe :P

To my dearest Erin,

You mean the world to me,
Thoughts of you are constantly on my mind,

your eyes are like globes that mean the world to me,
your smile like an eternal sun that shines brightly in the darkness,
your presence is what I hold most dear.

Being with you is like a dream come true,
everyday is filled with passion and excitement,
time seems to fly whenever we are together,
But i can assure you my love for you is steadfast,

i have never enveloped anyone with all my heart till I met you,
for my heart is where I keep you,
and where you always will be...I love you...


mushy enuff? people are gonna read this now!! ur face got blush? wahaha =P

Campus

Provided a link to my blog today complete with a mini PD banner, I’m really beginning to love Fireworks, it’s so much easier than PShop. Pictures can be resized on the spot, and translucency is as easy as grab and scroll.

I can’t believe my reply from SIM/RMIT still isn’t here yet, I’m practically teetering between sheer frustration and full blown rage. The wait and torture of wanting to know the outcome is killing me. A quick check with SIM yesterday was fruitless as the receptionist said that most probably my case was still pending. Guess the waiting game continues.

I posted my current favorite jazz song, Diana Krall’s The Look of Love. Adore the pacing of the musical piece, Diana’s deep low husky voice really brings out the ambient of the song. Last night I practically fell asleep to the song, had my WINAMP on repeat and let the music carry me into a deep slumber.

Work is a typical bore today, after a quick proof-reading of an article to be published; I just lazed the afternoon away. Might be watching I, Robot tonight, depending on Erin, still waiting for her reply. How sweet, knowing that she doesn’t like futuristic shows she still accompanies me hehehe…thanks baby!

Some recent musings, the controversy surrounding tertiary institution camps were brought into the spotlight, when quite possibly, a jealous student asked the government just what sort of image were they portraying with having camps whereby female and male students took part in activities that had a certain sexual elevation. What’s wrong I ask?

This is considered tame, the guy who wrote in should go check out the spring breaks in the US, Ozzie and Britain…those are absolutely wild! Their activities consist of beer drinking, arson, vandalism, and stripping, streaking and full blown mass orgies in frat houses, chalets, dorms, beaches, boats, hotels and even in parks! If the ladies are game for it why not? Just more fun for us guys haha!

Looks

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
 
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away 
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
 
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you 
You've got the Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss 
 
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go Don't ever go (I love you so)

My 2 weeks hard work... Posted by Hello

ooo Posted by Hello


I know what y'all asking, "geee...you got a new banner uncle jecht". Yup! After sleepless nights of drawing up a design for the mother of all blog banners I finally created this 7.5MB monster! It encompasses everything in my life, its a collage of yours truly, and gawd I love it...

Ok enough self flattery, I used a combo of photoshop and fireworks to achieve the effects seen above. The whole theme is largely inspired by my fav. anime InitialD, thrown in are some yin & yang balances I got from my prev. work with websites and pics of me and erin, me and camp mates, my EVO7 and a Greddy Turbo Metre. The tiny words you see at the top half are the lyrics to my fav. song, not telling ya what song it is...see if you can figure it out.

Oh another thing...don't bother clickin on the buttons of my banner, they are errr...still a work in progress...once I figure out how dreamweaver actually works.

I had quite an eventful weekend, spent Friday night watching King Authur, recommended if your into knights and swords kinda thing, doesn't hold true to the legend, the knights of the round table drop dead like flies, and King Authur and Excalibure? totally wimpy! theres' no magic at all, Merlin looks like some aboriginee spending 3/4 of the show covered in mud! DISAPPOINTED!

Back to real life! My boss has began dropping subtle hints of my inevitable expulsion from the firm should I keep applying for medical leave like there is no tommorrow. (what? 10days MC since Feb is considered little!) With the puny pay I get, I should only work once a week! Then I get this little prep talk from him just before lunch, something about how hard it is for him to break even, yadda yadda...whatever you miser! Wanna break even? sell the merc and posh buy a daihatsu! thats breaking even!

I just got wind that SIM results are out! My colleague got thru...as for me, I have not seen the mail yet...god knows...I pray that they accept my application. Ok thats enough for now, cya next time!

Banner

I'm hard at work making a new banner with my newfound powers of fireworks...ok I know it ain't no biggy, but its sort of a technical accomplishment for me, gone are the days of editing. I hope the banner works out...if not, I'm screwed hehe...
 
Uploaded some pics of Clarence's last night in SG (see friends & family album). We were doing like 150-160 on the AYE, damn the black protege5 is fast, and stable too. Was trying to get some snapshots in, all the pics took on a lumograph-like effect, nice! artistic! ok my hand was trembling hence. =x
 
Reached office extra early today, had a really good sleep...and for the first time, in eons, I actually bounced out of bed and the trip to office wasn't a drag. Kinda hungry now though, guess I would have to wait till lunch.

Revelations

Last evening had my farewell dinner with Clarence, went to have dinner buffet at COCA Concourse, never tried it before (yes would u believe?) Fantastic chilli sauce! Array of meats to cure any seafood hater's hunger. What I liked most? Meatballs, and the Beef fillets!!! they were so juicy and tender, we ordered like 5 plates I think. Simply delicious! Next up we went ti have coffee at Kopi Bean, sat down chatted about Perth and stuff, and Clarence forever psyching me to go with him to Perth. yawnz...next! 

My office PC that finally passed away after a devastating disk-fragmentation maneuver performed by my PC-illiterate bosses leaving me with a registryless file PC incapable of even starting up my WinME. All my months of hard work, wiped out in a night, thanks to those morons...anyway got PC repair dude Yew Wei to fix the thing, he gave me a standby that had no network card (which equals no Internet! the horror!) So he checks my PC and discovers the harddrive is corrupted as well due to some Trojan virus. Crap-Assed viruses, 2 days later, i get a reworked PC complete with WinXP and 20GB HDD, the most powerful PC in my company YAY! (insert sarcasm)  

Janet (currently a kindergarten trainee teacher) so far worked 3 days counting today (has entertained thoughts of quitting already! I'm betting on 1 month before eventual resignation), has feedbacked to moi that she is somehow capable of financing a Kia Picanto (a budget korean car; cheapest in SG) dont ask me how shes gonna pay for the downpayment with that measely allowance of her's. Just know that at $50 a month...thats friggin' cheap.

Downloaded Hai You Ming Tian's theme song sung by that bulldog, Guang Liang called Wei Ming Tian, GAWD I love that song, so touching, so meaningful yet so melodious...brings a tear to my eye whenever I hear it, especially now...

Tomorrow

To Ah Girl,

Let tears that are shed not be of pain,
the river of hope swells when it rains.

The stillness of night brings calm,
and shelters the sad... away from harm.

The future is not the present,
what lies ahead is god-sent.

My love for you is boundless,
my heart is forever yours,
Trust in me, together we are fearless.

Ah Gong

Steaks


A little something for my baby... Posted by Hello

Just ended the weekend celebrating my 8th month anniversary with Erin. Wow! has it really been 8 months already?! seems like just yesterday when we first started hehe.

The day began we me on MC, nice huh? that gave me the Extra time i needed to dash to Sengkang and get the necessary stuff, a bouquet of lilies and milk ger and milk boy piggy banks! Going back home met up with some uncle at the MRT who talked to me about where to get cheaper flowers in Sengkang...like i cared...on board the public train, i had to face off against errant kids who wanted nothing more than the total annihilation of my pretty lilies. Those wretched demons!

Anyway later I met her at Parkway Parade for some mouth-watering steak dinner at Jack'sPlace. Then brought her home for the surprise in store, ok so it isnt the millenium bash, but I thought it was cute and made this anniversary rather special.

Watched Initial D Stage 4 episode 3 & 4 as well, fantastic!Finally the pace has picked up, and the battles are pumped! Made me a happier guy.

As for my ah ger, I LOVE YA baby!!! HAPPY 8th Month ANNIVERSARY!!!

PEACE


The hell hole I work in? Posted by Hello

Well today I reported in sick, lazed the day at home bordering between delusional and psychotic. Plus the nice chilly weather helps to heighten my virual senses. Gf is in school now, gawd i miss her. Won't be seeing her tonite either cause she's got dinner back home. It's nice to take a break every 2-3 weeks or so. Sudden change in pace, helps to cure the dullness of adulthood.

Went to see the doc juz now, but the moron is closed till 5pm! damnit, need an MC to backup my "sickness" you know...otherwise I will just to wasting the time away surfing n blogging. Looking out the window I can see a vast part of Singapore shrouded in darkness and a veil of gloom seems to hang in the air (not that i care, i still got my air-con on) but there are just certain days you just dont wanna climb out of bed. You dont wanna see the dreaded office desk, you dont wanna see your boss, you dont wanna wrestle with lunch time crowds, and you dont wanna jostle for space in the overcrowded blasted trains.

All you need is some peace and serenity, which I'm gettin in abundance now. Doing everything at my pace, not worrying about when my boss is gonna step out of the office and try to catch me surfin internet. And all those crap things u do to goof off in office.

On a side note, 10 July is approaching, my 8th anniversary with erin is dawning...I havn't found time to go hunting for something...must try to squezze it in tomorrow, I PROMISE myself that!!! Shhh~!!! not going to tell her what I'm getting...

Scents

Yes it's done! Its finally done!!! The hum-dum crash course in Dreamweaver & Fireworks is finally over, everything has accumulated into my first finished work, some freighter company's official webby. After 2 days wandering in total unknown territory of htmls and java scripts and hyperlinks, I emerged somewhat wiser or sorts (mental note: never, EVER! tell ur boss you can try something new)

Didn't sleep well yesterday, and was hoping I could meet erin today, but alas the poor girl isn't feeling very well and we had to cancel our plans for dinner. Came back home pretty exhausted as well, and soon drifted to sleep. I really did not get a good chance to speak to her, and it left me a little vexed, oh well...I'm waiting for her call now hehe...

Last night as I was tossing and turning on my side of the bed, I couldnt help but rolled over to erin's side, the scent of her still lingered, I really love her scent, it warms the heart and soothes my soul, truly wonderful. I never thought just the scent of a person could do such wonders. Even though I miss her real badly, I took comfort that her scent was there to slowly guide me into la la land.

Even though we are miles apart, I still can feel you in my heart.
The scent of you on my bed will forever linger in my head.
When I'm with you, its all love and laughter,
We'll share our ups and downs together.
Your the only one I ever want,
True Love when our hearts beat as one...

Specially for you, my baby, erin.

Piggies


Piggies with ZARA© inspired pillow casing. Posted by Hello

This was supposed to be a full blown entry, but alas, after uploading the pigs, my PC conked out and I had to wait till I came back to office to complete the entry. Pretty fruitful weekend, went Bugis Junction on Friday to grab those piggies and had Jappy food before heading home. Went to Parkway on Sat to get new piggy banks to replace the ones in my gf's hse which are overloaded. I got the Ah Gong and Ah Ma talking on telephones, "awww...aint that cute :o" (post the pics up later).

Erin wanted to buy the Doraemon bolster from Just Toons, but some smartass beat us to just by a mere whisker. Poor baby, she's got nothing to hug that reminds her of me when she sleeps. I will try to get it for her ASAP!

Euro2004 concluded this morning with the biggest upset as yet...Greece champions??? Punters all over the world must be cursing and swearing, Portugal lost 1-0, sad. You could almost make out a faint chant of KELONG at dawn today.

Back to work now, can't believe my boss actually made me go learn Fireworks and Dreamweaver, so that i can create a website for our client, best of luck to myself in meeting the dateline...as of now, i'm still figuring out exactly how to use fireworks to edit pics to be uploaded, I HATE THIS! ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS!!!ARGH!!!

Forums

Its was one of those idle work days in my office as I was surfing around aimlessly killing time, when I chanced upon SG Forums. Ok I heard of it, my friend introduced it to me way back in army, back then I just read what people posted and laughed at their naivety. I never signed on because I felt it was a load of crap and the people in there were either mentally retarded or just plain desperados.

3 years down the road, and I posting feverishly everyday in Speaker’s corner, in Aunt Agony, in Chit Chat or even in Bar. I never thought posting in forums would be such an excellent time-killer. Reading the ludicrous postings of some pimply tween asking what sex is like is just the brim of subjects I’ve come across.

You got your jilted lover in the Agony channel, crying her cyber-heart out, you got your psychotic perverts in Bar digressing on how they aim to humiliate and demean an imaginary female, your pro-activists campaigning how the latest laws are a conspiracy theory and etc. The list just goes on and on, and topics are always new everyday.

By the way, the forums are a great way to de-stress as well, got pent-up anger you wanna release? Why not flame one unlucky loser online? Pick a topic, disagree with him, call him all kinds of names blah blah blah, there you have it flaming and a one-way ticket to being banned.

My personal fave, slamming some holy-moldy muthafucka called Father_Cuthbert, cause all his posts are pages of the bible and how he badmouths all the other forumites.
