Sunday, February 25, 2007 River Angbao>yup went there again on sat to see wat its like tis yr... hmm altho nth diff compared to last yr's but managed to catch some firewrks at the same time =) wanted to see if the fortune teller i went to was there tis yr but guess i din go on new yr eve so she wasnt there again liao like last yr when i went back to look for her wif dejia... hahaha she was the one who predicted tat i wd hv a bf last yr and asked me to bring him down if i wanted her to tell our fortune... so wanted to try my luck =p
earlier in the day caught "Just Follow Law" which is pretty funny and quite diff fr prev jack neo films... i felt the laughter sort of died down fr the soul switching part cos things started to get more serious but it was still enjoyable... tis wkend i finally got to visit kel's parents and he came down to hv dinner wif my family to celebrate CNY as well as my mum's bday in adv... haha coincidentally bumped into his ITE classmate who got married late last yr and was also stayin same area as me.... still left a visit to his grandma so hopefully can do tat within tis wk...
also met up wif ryan for dinner on fri at sizzler using the 3 for 2 voucher... haiz as usual sizzler doesnt really live up to my expectations cos of lousy food and narrow variety but juz to make use of the voucher juz nice for 3 pple lor... but indeed the salad buffet bar is enuff for one person cos besides vege and fruits, got spaghetti, fried noodles, ham, egg so its quite sufficient for a meal instead of the main course.... well pple get wiser all the time rite? =)
wow american idol is back and competition is strong again tis yr... ya they r rite in tat if there are no restrictions in the guys and gals to go into the top 12, all 12 of them could be gals manz.... solid performances!!! aniway here's one of the songs fr the 1st live round tat i really like... full of character manz!!! hehehe....
Give Me One Reason - Tracy Chapman
Gimme one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Gimme one reason to stay here And I'll turn right back around Said I don't wanna leave you lonely You gotta make me change my mind
Baby, I got your number Oh, and I know that you got mine You know that I called you, I called too many times You can call me, baby, you can call me anytime You've got to call me
I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I don't want no one to squeeze me They might take away my life I just want someone to hold me Oh, and rock me through the night
A youthful heart can love you Yes, and give you what you need I said this youthful heart can love you Oh, and give you what you need But I'm too old to go chasing you around Wasting my precious energy
Baby, just gimme one reason Oh, gimme just one reason why Baby, just gimme one reason Oh, gimme just one reason why I should stay Said I told you that I loved you and there ain't no more to say # posted by MinGMinG | 10:59 PM

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 Happy Lunar New Year!>wishing all of u a very Prosperous Lunar New Year! hope u hv much much money come in! and wish u much much happy! hahaha.... sorry watch too much jacky wu variety shows...
1st CNY day hmm dunno y.. guess its cos i growing older tats y dun really feel the festive mood... abit sian cos of the yearly routine to go visiting relatives and nth to say or do much there... and also cousins gettin married one by one... an older female cousin gettin married this yr and another cousin younger than me by a yr gettin married next yr and has aredi bought a flat liao! hahahhaha.... time flies really fast.... all the aunties were saying we were oni babies one moment and nw we r going to be wives soon... last yr they din attack me but they took the chance tis yr to "shoot" me and ask when i bringing my bf hahahaha..... looks like i'm really getting old.. cos they even tot i was older than one of my older female cousins!!!! sadz!!! i better get rid of my curls soon - i tink they r the culprit hahahahhaa... sounds like they r more desperate than me and scared i dun get married hahahahhaa.....
the situation wasnt any better at kel's side too.... he got grilled on the 1st day abt me and for not bringing me there hahahhahaa.... and then on 2nd day his cousins still came and waited at his grandma place to see whether he wd bring me to visit her!!! haiyo when its time we will sure bring one la dun need so kanchong rite??? hahahahhaa.... muz give pleasant surprise and drop the bomb unexpectedly hahahahhaa.....
2nd CNY day tis day kel's relatives came to his place... din wanna make an appearance so fast so i din visit his parents yet... but met kel and his frens at vivo to watch epic movie hahahaha... they wanted to catch ghost rider but i din wanna watch it so stupid me went to choose this movie... haiz big waste of time hahahahhaa..... had dinner at the new restaurant called earle under swensen... haiz another waste of time hahahaha... main course nt very nice leh but lucky the ice cream saved the day =p
3rd CNY day nth much tis day.. wanted to go visit kel's parents but more relatives came to his place so din go... plus he was bz visiting colleagues so i get to rest at home =)
4th CNY day haiz my 4th day wasnt veri gd tho.... no its nt becos i hv to go back to wrk... started off the day wif my left front tooth hurting me... esp when i press the area under the nose... guess its the wrk of the wisdom teeth pushing their pals to the front ba....
aniway the main thing was tat my paper got accepted for presentation at an event organized by NTU here in sg but even presenters hv to pay to speak.. however my company policy is to get speaking slots at events so tat we dun hv to pay for registration to attend events... so i had to make a call to the organizer to appeal waiving of the fee based on our co expertise and global outreach lor... she was saying tat they oni make exceptions for invited speakers who r usually very experienced in speaking and publishing journals and i got butted cos she said i sounded young to her!!!
so i explained saying i am representing the co experts to present the paper and it seems tat she oni looks at the person's credentials, nt based on the co.... cant believe she's sayin all this juz to earn tat extra USD750. i used another point saying we could promote their event to our clients and she even suggested tat if we can get 10 pple to register thru us, she may consider giving me the free slot!!! piangz!!! i even tried tempting her wif a free registration at our own conference in beijing and she even boldly suggested tat we hv to pay flight/accommodation costs juz for this exchange!!! gosh i really felt insulted manz...
haiz tat was a really bad moment b4 i went for our co CNY lunch wif the accountant and her staff...the restaurant was oni across the road fr my office and the food was not bad given the reasonable prices... it was smooth sailing for the rest of the day until after wrk, stupid me went to bank in a cheque tat was dated the next day!!! oni realized it later but too late to go back to retrieve aniway cos the bank was closed aredi rite??? it was oni 5 hrs to midnite the next day so i was praying tat there was no staff doing OT processing cheques and dishonoring mine... up to nw haven receive any calls so maybe i'm safe =)
then came the last straw when i got home buying coke downstairs... the bottle costs $1.35 so i gave the cashier $2.05 in two-$1 coins and 1-5c coin... i din say out loud tat i was going to give her 5c so i purposely placed the 3 gold coins on her hand... and when she gave me back the change she gave me 65c leh!!! i told her i had given her 5c and she said she din see any!!! piangz... haiz nvm i told her keep the 5c i dun wan it... well i noe its oni the little things tat happened but cant help but feel tat i cant seem to do anything rite today... so feeling like tis song nw altho its abit unlucky for CNY la... wat to do? juz hope tat things get better!

Friday, February 16, 2007 Happy Valentine's Day>hahah abit too late for this greeting huh? hope u enjoyed the special day wif ur loved ones and friends since its called Friendship Day too =)
aniway the wrk day on wed started with this chinese uncle asking for newspaper payt for jan/feb... and i was wondering huh? i tot our newspaper vendor is a malay guy and he oni passed me an invoice 2 days earlier??? i kept insisting i wun pay until i find out wats going on by calling the malay vendor who said tat the invoice he gave me was for oct-dec last year... he aredi stopped supplying newspapers this yr cos the territory "belongs" to this chinese uncle hahahhhahahah.... i felt as tho i was treading some territory belonging to some mafia.... so i signed a check and kept complaining to the uncle tat no one informed us and we were kept in the dark abt this hahahahah.....
an hr later i received a pleasant surprise on wed when someone knocked on my office door and in came this guy wif a bouquet of roses in his hands... haha kel asked for delivery to my office and i really love the dozen roses which came in 5 diff colors: red, yellow, orange, pink and purple. lucky no one in the office else i will be very paiseh... but really touched cos its the first time someone sent flowers to me at the office =)
he wanted to book jack's place at bras basah for the dinner (nvr even heard tat bras basah got a JP branch) but he oni found time to go down the day b4.. he was surprised to find tat it was aredi fully booked cos it was so ulu... in teh end we went down to holland v for dinner and looked ard to see which restaurant to go to... and of cos most of them were fully booked... so we settled for cafe rosso which was completely empty... guess its cos the menu oni serves light food.. but it was pretty gd fusion food! hahahah kel was joking by saying " juz treat it tat i booked the whole place for today" hahaha..... but awhile later got 2 more couples came in la...
here's a pic of the cute bouquet.. haiz 4got to bring my cam for the dinner tat day else can post more pics for u to see see ;)
 he wanted to get a branded watch as a gift for me but scared tat i wun like it and it wd be wasted if he spent so much $ so i asked him to save the $ for a new hp when our hp contracts expire mid this year... i made 1314 lucky stars for him and started preparing since july last year, signifying i luv him 4ever.... it was really nice to see the touched look on his face =p he tot i'm nt the type to do this kind of things ahhaha but he was utterly wrong! hehehee..... but really glad to noe he luvs the gift...
yest had lunch wif pei and zq who was having a course in the area... ahah find it abit strange to see him in shirt and pants... rushed back to the office after lunch cos our accountant was waiting for me to come back... when she left she asked me to help her deliver some docs to the office opp my building cos recently when she goes there, the secretary kept asking her alot of questions on some accounts... she din wanna hear the secretary's incessant speech so i became a delivery gal for her hahahaha..... the secretary wasnt there la so i was spared any torturous interrogation =p
hmm finally got my check for the conference bonus... went to do abit more shoppin these few days b4 CNY comes.... bought a kilo worth of taiwan flavored muah chee for kel's grandma and mum for CNY and also for the first time in my entire 25 yrs, queued for bakua at toa payoh!!! ahhahahaha queued for a full hr b4 i got a kilo of bakua on behalf of kel to give to my parents... he was too tired to queue cos he's been helping out at his uncle's vege stall due to the bz season... gosh imagine they are selling lotus roots at $6 per kilo!!! i guess its a gd and versatile idea to earn big bucks by setting up a stall to sell roses on Vday and then switch to veges during CNY hehehehehee....
kel and i heard this song while havin dinner during Vday so dedicating it to him =) was given half day off today to start off an early CNY long wkend courtesy of candy... tats really rare cos i nvr ever had special half days off like other companies during my entire time in this job... going off to do more shopping ;)
Crazy For You - Madonna
Swaying room as the music starts Strangers making the most of the dark Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the smokey air Can't you feel the weight of my stare You're so close but still a world away What I'm dying to say, is that
Chorus:
I'm crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
Trying hard to control my heart I walk over to where you are Eye to eye we need no words at all
Slowly now we begin to move Every breath I'm deeper into you Soon we to are standing still in time If you read my mind, you'll see
Chorus:
I'm crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this I'ts all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss You'll feel it in my kiss because I'm crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this Its all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss im crazy for you, crazy for you crazy for you crazy for you
its all brand new, im crazy for you and you know its true, im crazy, crazy for you its all brand new, im crazy for you and you know its true, yeah, Im crazy for you Crazy for you baby # posted by MinGMinG | 12:21 PM

黑白配 - 范玮琪
太阳晒得我 眼睛睁不开 你的好脾气 让我的心情坏不起来 下雨下得我 眼神发呆 你的道歉 听着听着我都快要笑出来
谁说不能黑白配 世界上没有什么事 能够如此得绝对 曾经有人这样唱过 白天它不懂夜的黑 你却懂得我的美
有时候我会 感觉非常累 有时候也会 不自觉把你拖累 你有时会说 我们不配 只要能依偎 真真的什么都无所谓
钢琴也是黑白键 一样能弹出我对你 只有满满的感谢 也许黑永远不明白 在这个彩色的世界 有你我才会存在 在这个彩色的世界 有你我才会存在 # posted by MinGMinG | 3:01 PM

Friday, February 09, 2007 Stupid>hahah not toking abt myself or anyone la... theres this song i recently like which has the title "stupid"... another cooperation bet JJ and jinsha... well nt the singing but the dialogue in the song... i really like the dialogue cos it really says hw i really felt when i was single and i guess it speaks for many singles out there too...
first part of the dialogue it says hw sometimes its painful to be in a relationship and hw u really feel like giving it up all tog... for my case i relate to the song cos theres a streak in me tat wans to be free so i dun hv to bother wif anyone else, to be able to do anything tat i like to do without considering anyone's feelings.... BUT there will always be a time when something in ur heart nags at u... telling u tat somehw u wanna feel loved and to love, but the more u wanna live in ur own world, the harder it is for anyone to enter it...
amidst all the mind struggles, its only thru time tat u realize wat u really wan in ur life... tat u learn to treasure the things tat u nvr tot u would really care for in the first place... tat u realized hw stupid u were to give things up so easily cos they din come easily in the first place.... nevertheless pple grow up thru time and learn valuable lessons along the way, tats hw we become stronger and more experienced. can u imagine hw ur parents have lived thru most of their lives wif all those obstacles tat we hv not faced at this stage yet?
so moral of the story? ask urself wat u really wan... wat r ur priorities in life? is it worth it to give up one thing over another? wat sacrifices are u willing to make? no matter wat ur decision is, stick with it as it gives u meaning in life... i understand tat sometimes things r uncontrollable, but as long as u noe tat u hv tried, u gave an answer to urself... after all, life is too short for regrets...
haha u muz be asking wat MY priorities in life r ya? well if u really noe me, i am not a very ambitious and greedy person. ya my mum always tells me u hv to strive for better things in life, but diff pple wan diff things rite??? for e.g maybe someone wans to stay in a condo, but as long as i hv a roof over me its sufficient enuff. its all abt whether u r content enuff ba....
i guess for me its juz to hv a stable job and of cos to hv a complete family when i get married. i'm not the kind to sacrifice my family and ask them to be my support when i am carving my career... cos i dun wan my family to leave me and be lonely when i am old =) its really sad to see those elderly stayin in a nursing home for the rest of their lives wif no family to care for them, no matter hw successful they were in their lives.... wat kel says is true: u can hv all the money in the world, but u cant bring them wif u when u die. u leave this world wif oni the memories u had in this life.. so i guess i wanna die noeing tat i cared for my loved ones and they r safe and happy ba....
ok enuff of my preaching =) enjoy the song..
笨蛋
=================== 对白
(金莎) 很多時候我因為怕受傷 所以就選擇先放棄 我更因我太自由 所以明明渴望愛情 卻依然不知怎樣讓別人進入我的世界
(林俊杰) 難道我不能給你百分百的信心 你知道 我一直有多麼的在乎你
(金莎) 我珍惜這份安全感 卻擔心他的泣聲 所以每天的感覺 還是孤獨的 我還是需要一個人 一個人想一想
----------------------------------------------- 『演唱,歌词部分』 冰箱结霜咖啡滚烫 煮不好最简单的早餐 我的生活是一团混乱 维持单身感觉茫然 喜不喜欢习不习惯 我总是说不出个答案 一个人来又一个人往 怎么让他流连忘返 我不想当笨蛋 我在墙上写满渴望 我可以大哭一场 房间还是空空荡荡 我绝对不逞强 该属于我任其自然 可是我也要安全感 在某个适当程度的主张 纵然是了解眼光也是温暖
=================== 对白
(林俊杰) 這段日子 你真的過得好嗎?
(金莎) 沒有你的早晨 加了糖的咖啡 也是苦的
(林俊杰) 當時 我尊重你的要求 所以我離開 但 這段日子你不開心 所以 我就回來了
(金莎) 也許 我連自己要什麼我也不知道 我一個人悠悠蕩蕩 最後久了 也沒有了目標 冒昧醒來 發現牆上 已經不知覺寫了你的名字
(林俊杰) 單身是茫然 戀愛 也徬惶 我明白 所以 我用時間 去證明了這顆心 我會因為你 曾經的放棄 而改變
------------------------------------------------ 『演唱,歌词部分』 每个早上都想赖床 没有梦是最让人沮丧 我的眼睛盯着天花板 也跑不出任何对象 我不想当笨蛋 我在墙上写满渴望 我可以大哭一场 房间还是空空荡荡 我绝对不逞强 该属于我任其自然 可是我也要安全感 在某个适当程度的主张 纵然是了解眼光也是温暖 我不想当笨蛋 我在墙上写满渴望 我可以大哭一场 房间还是空空荡荡 我绝对不逞强 该属于我任其自然 可是我也要安全感 在某个适当程度的主张 纵然是了解眼光也是温暖
=================== 对白
(金莎) 難道我真的是個笨蛋 一直錯過已經在身邊的幸福
(林俊杰) 我們只是用時間找到了我們需要什麼 時間讓我們認識了自己 也肯定了對方
(金莎) 因為你 讓我知道真真的幸福是什麼 # posted by MinGMinG | 12:04 PM

徐若瑄 - 亲爱的
发现我们电话里常常沉默了 想看的电影也不在相同了 你的眼神虽然是温柔的 却想另一个人在面前那样陌生
如果我能穿着你最不喜欢的颜色 嘴里含着念你最不爱听的情歌 你能不能对我在冷漠一点呢 至少让我以为你不在爱我了
亲爱的为什么你还不敢承认呢 亲爱的我们都是脆弱的人 亲爱的听时间的话放开手 别感伤应该感动我最亲爱的
亲爱的为什么你还不敢承认呢 亲爱的我们都是脆弱的人 亲爱的别牵着没感觉的手 真的不怪你我太爱你才说不出口 (不怪你太爱你才说不出口)
亲爱的我也不相信心会疲倦的 亲爱的我们别在骗自己了 亲爱的听时间的话放开手 别感伤应该感动 (别感伤应该感动我最亲爱的)
我们都记得相爱最诚实这一刻 对我说你不爱我谁的泪都别流 如果能从来一次请别在这样从爱我 我太幸福就会忘了爱总有慢慢变化时候 # posted by MinGMinG | 1:18 PM
