Tuesday, August 29, 2006 In memory of...> my dearest and oldest male hammy (aka little berny or papi) i've kept since end-2004.. nt sure of his exact age but shd be ard 2 yrs old... he had some big lumps since beginning of this yr which i tink are cancerous so he kinda lasted for quite some time b4 passin away on sat...
tis morn discovered another dead hammy in anotehr tank.. altho they din die in the same tank the strange thing was both carcasses lied on their sides, they died oni within 3 days of each other and there were no obvious symptoms (slow movement, limping, lying on their sides, not eating properly) prior to their deaths... kel suspects virus... goin to carry out major disinfection and cleaning tonite b4 more casualties occur...
sadz.. miss the hammies alot esp papi... nw oni left wif 4...
Sarah Mclachlan - I Will Remember You
I will remember you Will you remember me? Don’t let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin’ in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep Standin’ on the edge of something much too deep It’s funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can’t be heard
I’m so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose Clinging to a past that doesn’t let me choose Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

明天我要嫁给你 (女生版)
秒针分针滴答滴答在心中 我的眼光闪烁闪烁好空洞 我的心跳扑通扑通地阵阵悸动 我问自己要你爱你有多浓 我要和你双宿双飞多冲动 我的内心忽上忽下地阵阵悸动 呜...
明天我要嫁给你啦 明天我要嫁给你啦 要不是每天的交通 烦扰着我所有的梦 ( 要不是停电那一夜 才发现我寂寞空洞 )
明天我要嫁给你啦 明天我要 ( 终于 ) 嫁给你啦 要不是你问我 要不是你劝我 要不是适当的时候 你让我心动 ( 可是我就在这时候 害怕惶恐 ) # posted by MinGMinG | 10:40 AM

Thursday, August 17, 2006 Bz Bz Bz>yeah yeah finally get to pen something down hhee... been too bz la.. so get ready for a long post! hehehee... aniway the KL trip was fine... altho i wasnt very well prepared for my sales pitch and did everythin almost impromptu but lucky my boss and colleague were supportin me by addin in more info and answering their qns... we also met the malaysian palm oil board and on the way there the taxi driver was totally clueless as to how to get to teh place! sianz.. even my boss had to refer to the map and guide him... we took a gd hr and 15min to get to the place when it shd hv oni taken 45min... aniway got back late tat nite and went back the next day to wrk to prepare stuff as well as continue packing for the beijing trip..
haha the nite b4 the beijing trip kel and i went to hv supper at joo chiat market and when we were sharing our plate of char kway teow two uncles sat down at the table adjoined to ours... i noticed one uncle (sitting next to kel) lookin at us and he eventually approached us to tok.. told us to treasure our relationship and kept emphasizing togetherness as a couple... his counterpart kept pullin him back and told him to eat his food and stop his jittery talk but he juz kept goin on abt he and his wife first met at the market and it brought back memories and along the way alot of sacrifices were made.... the message he was tryin to bring across was that we shd treasure our luv.. i noe one is christian and the other catholic but kel said both of them were doctors... hmm... aniway it was quite interesting the way they came up to us to give advice to us as elders even tho we were complete strangers...
as for beijing.. i arrived on sat (aug 5) tog wif my boss.. really liked my hotel room cos they gave us the best ones since we were clients... there was chocolates and cookies and fruits and fresh roses!! real nice.. we went shoppin in the afternoon wif my colleague who arrived earlier... went to yaxiu market and bargained our way thru hehehe.. but i din buy much tho and then the next day we met wif the hotel person-in-chg to discuss the conference details as well as look ard the rooms... we were goin to hv parallel sessions and the breakout rooms were pretty small and both my colleagues werent happy wif it so they were thinkin of goin back to the hotel we used last yr... we went to meet wif tat hotel manager and he said they could give us the biz... we shd be able to get back our deposit in full since the contract din state tat theres a penalty charge if we cancel prior a mth b4 the event but i guess the hotel is tryin to get some money out of us... aniway tat will be the conference team's headache so hopefully everythin will turn out well
yup juz basically meeting up wif clients over the next few days and boss tellin them she is leavin and my colleague and i will take over the major tasks.. there was once when we met wif petrochina and they all juz gone quiet when she announced to them... my colleague said they looked as if one of them was goin to cry!! hehee... guess my boss' role in this region is simply irreplaceable =p hmm we did more shoppin at wantong market and hongqiao pearl market b4 we were officially done... i bought some souvenirs for kel and his mum, grandma and aunt and more food! my colleague got in total 5 or 6 gucci bags! hahahaha... she can open a bag stall herself =p i was tryin to get some polo tees for kel and i simply walked away when i couldnt get the price tt i wanted hehehe.. the lady at the stall said i got 'character' and asked where i was from... they had set the price really high cos we went straight to the markets in our suits... kinda spent a bomb durin tis trip so i guess i wun do much shopping the next time i come for the conference..
the last day of our beijing trip was on wed (national day) but since there wasnt any meeting arranged on tat day i decided to catch an early flight back to sg so tat i could be back on national day in time to spend the day wif kel.. took the midnite flight and on the way to the airport it started to pour and the taxi driver even warned me tat the flight may not take off due to the thunderstorms... hmm i was tinkin to myself in sg also got thunderstorms but planes still take off as usual ma rite??? aniway it was confirmed when i checked in cos the lady said the flight will be delayed by 40mins due to 'bad weather'.. so i went to the waiting lounge and they were serving free refreshments for the passengers on SIA... there was another flight to sg by china airways and they juz hv to look on when the rest were getting their free sandwiches and drinks... i wasnt hungry so i basically stuffed it down my stomach... after all i am typical singaporean.. free juz take lor! hahahahha...
lucky din wait too long... we were allowed to board abt 10min after the official take off timing... i was one of the last to board cos i was bz tokin to kel on my cell tat i din notice hahaa... tried to get some slp but din really slp well... had some mac breakfast at the airport b4 kel and i went back to my place to drop off my stuff and unpack and wash up b4 spending the day tog... haha we wanted to catch the firewrks tog outside the stadium but too lazy.. decided to catch it on tv instead...
hmm over the wkend caught dragon tiger gate.. wasnt a fantastic show judging fr the audience and its screenplay.. lookin forward to the breakup tho! hehehe.... met up wif kel's fren bryan as they were goin to collect goodie bag and tag for their new balance real run tis coming sun at sentosa... hahah they were required to fill a form and kel unknowingly filled in a portion which requires parent approval for registrants under 18yrs old... the lady said it wasnt unnecessary and i told her "but he's 17 tis yr"! hehehehe.... after the registration kel and i went to esplanade area to catch the national day wkend firewrks display... pretty short display but there were soooo many pple there! it felt as tho it was countdown durin new yr day eve hehehe.... car and pple traffic was real bad and we made a big round by walkin fr raffles place to chinatown to go back to my place... bumped into my jc harmonica mate jingjing in the train as she was also went to the firewrks display... on sun kel went to pray for awhile at his church and again i bumped into someone i noe... my sec classmate verena wif her bf at the katong laksa place...
hmm starting to feel abit of pressure as my boss is effectively stayin till end of next wk... more and more wrk! my co's goin to organize a recognition conference call next wk to recognize her efforts in the asia office... there was once when she and i were discussing the nissan project wif our russian colleague she officially informed him tat she was leaving and i wd be running the project and he unadvertently blurted out abt the recognition call... hahaha she paused and looked really blur so i quickly turned ard and said ya there was the usual co conference call comin up... guess the recognition call shd be a surprise for her so we shd be keepin it a secret fr her =p
karen and i were discussing where to go for her farewell lunch next wk and wat other present to get her besides the briefcase the whole co is sharing... shd be getting her a necklace ba... kel was suggesting tat i shd get a separate private gift for her since i wrked wif her the longest in person... so shd be bz gift searching this wkend =p theres sup to be a biz trip to KL next day but guess its not goin to happen.. heng cos my boss wanted me to give the presentation to petronas instead..... but i got sabo aniway cos big boss wants me to give the asian part of her presentation on biofuels at the beijing conference haiz... but aniway getting a day off tom due to wrking last wkend so can get to be a pig and catch up on my slp for a whole day! hehehehe...

I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy Ever since you went away Every hour of every day I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy No matter what I say or do There's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes And there comes such a sweet surprise If seeing's believing it's worth the wait So hold and tell me it's not too late We're so good together, we starting forever now
I miss you like crazy I miss you baby Love like ours will never end Just touch me and we're there again
Just one night And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we gonna make it through It seems believing is worth the wait So hold and tell me it's not too late We're so good together, we starting forever now
And I miss you, I missed you All the tender love you gave me A feeling gets this strong You know the real thing's come along And I miss you
I miss you like crazy baby Only your sweet love can save me I miss you like crazy A love like ours will never end Just touch me and we're there again I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy No matter what I say or do # posted by MinGMinG | 10:17 AM

caught lake house on sat wif kel.. wanted to catch it cos of il mare, one of the korean romantic movies which i really liked... really liked the concept of the time difference bet the couple... haha maybe i am the kind who likes tis kind of far fetched romance... aniway the western version was slightly diff and both kel and i even tried to use logic to explain the whole story but my conclusion was tat dun even start to try to explain a storyline tat dun even make sense in the first place hahahaha.. save the brain cells for betta stuff huh? =p nevertheless i still like tis kinda stories and keanu and sandra still made a GREAT pair ever since speed ;)
had another feast on sun wif kel's cousins at G7, some seafood place in geylang... we had frog leg porridge again which was still not comparable wif the one nearby or even wif the one at chinatown... tis time it was his treat for 13 pple! 大出血 hhahahhaa no la... after all they r relatives... but cannot do tis all the time la rite? =p

haiz will be missing out the NDP as its national day on wed cos i wun be back till nitetime... kel's best fren will be performing and wanted to pass us his tixs to view but too bad i wun be in sg.. hmm seems like kel's goin to start travelling too wif his aunt to their factories in china ard mid aug which is the wk after i'm back.... hee its as tho he takin the baton over from me....
