sigh... *rubs eyes*

sian. monday blues AGAIN. I quote vina=) We r probably not alone on this one. It's the first Monday since the previous batch of interns left...except for the few 'hardworking' ones like my dear friend VINA. That's what friends r for right?! Even though she came early, she waited for me to end together! heh...

There's quite a few things to finish up today. Been procrastinating. Let me address a few things here first...

First, thanks MING for offering ur house as the partyspace. Even though it wasn't much of a farewell... only 3 of the leaving interns came... but it was still fun nevertheless. Took some time to warm up but eventually we got down to the games & drinks. Got to know our fellow interns a little bit better.

Thanks Pearl for calling your lil' bro along... This is one brave boy, downing half a cup of vodka in one gulp.... and Peizhen for calling her funky friends who brought us the mixers. Oh yes, of course there's also the 20-yr-old car which made funny noises as the driver attempts an Initial D. Couldn't stop laughing... And guess who's this Takumi person?!? none other than our RJC prom king a yr before mine. Abel (think that's how his name goes) was since labelled 'e Initial D guy'. haha...

Thanks to 'whatever his name was' (another RJ snr) for introducing the 'chu-chu' game. It's DAMN funny!!! esp. when everyone's make the same sound at the same time. plus it can get utterly confusing... caused me to drink a couple of times in the row.

Thanks to Andy for lugging me home. I was totally ok when we were at Ming's house, perhaps cos I was sitting down all the time. I knew I didn't eat dinner. That's bad for the stomach. So figured I should take some food. But by the time we r nearing NUS main campus, I was already feeling bad. Eventually when we finally managed to walk to the famous prata shop at west coast, I couldn't take it anymore and had to puke. Would u say that's utterly embarrassing? I don't know, at least I didn't think much of it. My stomach was pretty weak for the remaining weekend. That was a bad experience... and a lesson to be learnt.

I have excuses though. First I was so tired that once I got home, went to take a nap. By the time I got up, didn't have time to eat anything. Then I figured it's just gonna be Wala Wala, so I won't have that much to drink. Who knew, we ended up at someone's house. Plus the consecutives shots, the lack of mixers, and no dancing to sweat it all out... Alright, being the reckless me, I never thought it would be so bad either. So in some ways, I deserved it! hahaha...

no regrets though... it was a fun night!

Lesson learnt!

NEVER DRINK ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!!!

explain tomorrow...kinda running short of time...ZZZzzz

Ello?!? Is there a way to not type a title but still have a link w the first few words or something?!?!?

Haha excuse me if I sound hyper. 'cos it's Friday! It's finally the weekend!!! yeah... i hafta say that recently I've been experience diminishing returns at work, which is totally not good. Got a presentation this afternoon, I better make it work. The day should be over by then. I'm all ready for the weekend to re-charge. Productivity better picks up next week!!!!!

Despite the complaining, I've been enjoying myself. There's always e 'talking to friends' & e 'doing wacky things' aside from all the work.

Issit the common thing for our age group? What I realise is that when ur age reaches the 20 mark, love/relationship no longer remains a personal thing. Out of nowhere, it becomes the topic of conversation with friends, and also PARENTS! Parent?!? Yeah parents! It becomes awfully funny when ur mom starts to tell u how she thinks all these guy friends of urs look... how she would start asking who is this and who that is and why aren't you good friends with this person and that person. It's weird that parents seem to be the ones totally against BGR when u r in ur teens. And suddenly, when u turn 20, their body clock rings and there's a 180 degree change. Not that it's the case for my mum but just in general. And the weird part for me is to actually agree on the looks part with my mum. It's just funny that all of a sudden we r on common ground. That's not NORMAL... ...

And with friends... yup that sure is interesting. Vina & I never used to really talk about these things 'cos I know she might not support my radical views. But yeah now it's fine. More often then not, our girl talk ends up surround the topic of dating, relationships, guys, bla bla bla Hope that's not too BIMBO! And Vina, pls don't blame me for dragging u in=) Of course, there's all these other pple... Tiff has been an 'old' member of this 'chat club'...and Yishi. And now, even with old classmates & new friends... someone else bound to mention the topic. But it's not that it's not interesting. Part of me love talking about it. 'cos it's always fun to hear other pple's views. To sometimes realise that u r not alone... reassures me of my decisions.

What decisions? u'll know soon enough...

CM offsite...

To those of you who doesn't know what it means... it's an EDB thing, where the chief management 'disappears' for 2 days to brainstorm for ideas. Our entire division is gone, except for the 3 interns and the JOs... which leaves me with more room to clear what's on the table and tie the bits & pieces together. A little too quiet though...

For those who are leaving this week, we had a lunch gathering yesterday at an Indian restaurant. It was loads of fun! less 'cos of the food than the hilarious conversations we had. A group of us were having 'heated' converstaion over bgr. I'm a poor storyteller but u've gotta admit that the simplest comments can become a joke when u have 2 different species giving their thoughts about the same thing. u realise that our brains r wired totally differently.

1. out for food: WHO PAYS?!?
2. pre-marital pregnancy: TO ABORT OR NOT TO ABORT?!?
3. what makes a GOOD KISSER?!?

These may seem to be extremely common topics but seriously, the jokes r funny when 5 pple seemingly high-on-water starts rambling. esp. towards the end when we incorporated very EDB jagons, ie. value-add, value chain, outsourcing. Haha 'cos Hau Yee was talking about couples going to movies, with the couple seats in mind. Guys, we r already going to movies with u, why r you still thinking of value-adding? The argument is, of course we have to move up the value chain, if not why do we pay twice of $9.50 on the weekend for? BGR is like the entire value chain... from R&D to clinical trials to eventual production. It's the entire economy! Even though production cost in Singapore may be high, we still gotta sustain manufacturing!!! *grinz* Outsourcing is not an option!

I hope you see the parallel and laugh=)

Monday blues...

It has been a really busy but exciting weekend. Too many things happened for me to recount. Well...all I have to say is that I have REALLY GOOD FRIENDS. I'm really glad that's the case. There's been times when I was down... on and off when I think of troubling events. But thank goodness I've got many good friends to talk to. Thank you...esp. to those few who have heard me go on and on about the same topic. I hope I didn't drive you nuts! haha=)

There's pple who have made my life hard 'cos they are so immature. But I think I don't blame them. Everything's gonna be alright. I just hafta enjoy my summer and move on!

Guess who?!?

*disclaimer*

This is a special request from our dear Yong Chuen. The photos posted are a misrepresentation of how my friends look! heh...esp. Yongz=) He definitely looks better than that in person *grinz* I'm sorry; it must have been my camera!

P.S. i just changed the template. How does this look? If u didn't notice, the small 'x' on the top right corner gives all the links. It's e navigation bar!!! Anywayz, the first link i've got is Chang's blog. Enjoy...

new photos!!!

hey friends, I've uploaded the latest photos we took in Singapore. Just a selective few 'cos it's really slow to upload EVERYTHING. I should go set up a photo album and link it to this page. Maybe that'll make things much easier next time round. But anyway, bear with it for now=)
