Thursday
On my journey to Raffles MRT station, i passed by the underground Raffles Link. There are 2 ang-mos dressed like an flight attendant, holding signboards and shouted: “Welcome to London!” This is one of the promotion tactics by British Airways. Innovative eh?

Friday
Celebrated Lester’s grandmother birthday at Marina Long Beach with the family. Happy birthday~ Heez~

Saturday
Stay at home the whole day, a secondary school aged boy deliever a letter for me. It’s my organ donation pledge form. Can’t bother to explain to my parents. But my mum don’t agree me to donate my organs after my death.

I know the adults are pretty sensitive to such issues, especially they like to relate all these to customs and religious related practices. However, it makes me rather irritated and gets me on my nerves.

At my age of 21, i can be responsible to myself, my life. But to my parents, or to any parents, we are still a little kid.

A last minute thought, to dedicate song for Lester over class 95fm on monday. Happily waiting and keeping track for the time it will be aired. I specially made a request: “*i hope my dedication can be aired around 9:30pm, because i’ll be in his car and i wanted a surprise for him.”

Nope… My dedication wasn’t chosen, but for a very good reason.

The deejay replied me in an email yesterday, saying:
“Hullo there Lay Hiang,

Sorrie cldn’t read out your dedication yesterday (monday)…was away on an overseas assignment!

So…tell you what..I’ll be reading your dedication on Wednesday (22/6) night alrighty? Will try my best to time it around 9.30pm!

Stay tuned!

🙂
Yaz~”

But the problem is, we are watching Channel U’s Superstar last nite. !@#$%^&* (-.-‘”)

[First Verse]
终于穿越了巨大寂寞
应付起长夜得心应手
也能呼吸也有脉搏

把被你折磨看作成就
苦痛也就能换成守候
山守著云也没说什么

[Chorus]
一定会有以后
我拿铁石心肠镇守著爱情
留给你一个回来的原因
当你伤透心

给我一个以后
淋著时间的雨我寸步不离
你是我留不住的生命里
尽力强留住的唯一

[Second Verse]
那些动人的我不会说
已经决定的何必承诺
把心掏给你够不够

一千年后谁记得我
但我还牢记你轮廓
没有倦容还在等你回头

Came across this song a few years back, in one of the Kokoro’s flash animation series which i think is meaningful.

Kinda excited to meet my secondary school friends in the coming month. And there is a list of people in my mind, i’m eager to meet up with.

Hmm… I’m eager and yet rather worried. Have to look good and glamorous in front of these classmates right? Perhaps, i watched too many TV series drama liao. In a gathering, rich and wealthy tai-tai will show off their latest piece of jewelry while the man talk big in their businesses. Hahaha~

Anyway, shall do exercise to tone up, apply pimple cream every nite in case of any outbreak, take extra extra care for my daily cleansing procedures, skip dinner, start preparing clothes and accessories to wear liao. Hahaha~ Dun spread the words out if you happen to be my secondary school classmates reading all the crap i’ve just mentioned.

Anyway, see you guys… (^_^)

And yesterday is my dad’s birthday. Bought him a Crocodile’s shirt for him. When i hand over the gifts, he almost forgot today is his big big day. Hahaha~ Happy Birthday, dad~

Friday
Meet up with Xing Cai for dinner, duck noodles, in the neighborhood coffee shop. Can’t stand the scene when he starts cleaning his sweats from the forehead with his hands. “Tissue please~” i said. Getting a little particular about hygienes recently. Had a chill-out at West Mall’s coffee bean. Talk about his current job in Ritz-Carlton, and his embarrassing situation at his ex-girlfriend’s 21st birthday party. We left around 9:30pm while he meet another girl. Humph~

Saturday
Catch Batman Begins in Plaza Singapura in the noon. A long movie to me. Visual, plots, sound effect, scenes set-up, characters, thumb up. Shall be waiting for it’s sequel with the joker. Heez~ Today is a no transport day, so we walked. Bought a Bata’s black sequins sandals for $14.95, an additional $5 off if i buy it earlier in the week at Great World City. Took a bus back to Lester’s house and i fall asleep on the journey back. Yawnz~

Sunday
Wake up only at 3pm. It’s rather late to have breakfast, neither was it brunch nor lunch. Craving for Marche, we had our lunch + dinner at Suntec. Had cream of mushroom soup, rosti, stir-fried vegetable, chicken breast with black pepper sauce, teppanyaki chicken and beef and caramel banana waffles with ice-cream. What a feast~

And somebody dunno how to clean his mouth even at his age of 21 years old. Duh… Remember what my mister told me this morning, “Look at the dustbin. The amount of tissue you used is…” Well… This is what i call cleanliness. Living with me isn’t gonna be easy. Hahaha~

Went back home and pack my room alone for 3hrs. Duh~ The amount of dust collected is yucks. And my face tingles quite a bit after all the spring cleaning. Something must have resides on my skin.

I can’t imagine myself attending my friends’ wedding in the years to come. That feeling is funny~The thought just strike when i browse through Shirely’s wedding captures in Terry’s blog.

Erm… How to say? When we are younger, we tag along our parents to attend wedding dinners. But we hardly know the bride and the groom. So we ended up onli enjoying the dinner itself.

But if the bride and groom were your friends, guess it will be a different story. You’ll feel closer to them, to the whole ceremony. And food may just be the secondary factors for you to attend. It’s the atmosphere, their joy that you’ve witnessed. So xing fu~

Encounter some problems in work and emailed Sharlin for help. Thank you for her patience. Guess she got every single answer i wanted. SP lecturers are still very helpful. Heez~

She is back in Singapore for 2 weeks le. Both Wendy and Leon is still teaching in the school. Sharlin asked me about all your updates. Well… We can pay a visit to school for lunch sometime? The food there is calling for me.

I had a pay rise of $70 after my salary was reviewed and revised. Hmm… Not much, but i hope i can save my $70 up for my education and my holiday trips.

Trying to save and save and save. Erm… Still -ve the budget amount i set for spending. I drafted an excel sheet to calculate my expenses. After this month, i’ll need to review where all my money goes.

Both Banana and me had a hard time trying to escape from the rooms. Erm… We are playing game actually. Played once during my ITP times. That was ages~

Try your luck too:

• Crimson room
• Virdian room
• The Blue Chamber

Do you know ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” phrase, normally used for testing font types, font sizes and text positioning, contains all alphaberts A-Z?

Do you know the origins of ‘a.m.’ and ‘p.m.’? These abbreviations represent the Latin phraes ante/post meridiem, which mean ‘before/after midday’.

Do you know what comes after once, twice, thrice? These three are the only words of their type, and no further terms in the series have ever existed.

Do you know data is singular or plural? Strictly speaking, data is the plural of datum, and should be used with a plural verb (like facts).

Everybody is not in the house last night, except my youngest sister and me. My cordless phone and its station are separated, phone in my room, the station in the hall. While both of us are happily talking in the kitchen, the cordless phone beeps. Someone must have pressed the station locating where’s the handset. Hmm… But the beeping goes off in about 1 to 2 minutes. Both of us dare not go near it.

This morning, i started to wash up myself, preparing for the day. My dog barked furiously as if there is a stranger. I turned and looked. He was in my mum’s room, facing high up as if there is something near the ceiling. I called for him, but he barked at me. Wonder what did he see this time round again?
