说好的幸福呢
Thursday, October 23, 2008 |7:17 PM

你的绘画凌乱着
在这个时刻
我想起 喷泉旁的白鸽
甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯
我还爱你呢
而你断断续续唱着歌
假装没事了
时间过了 走了
爱情面临选择
你冷了 倦了 我哭了
离开时的不快乐
你用卡片 手写着
有些爱只给到这 真的痛了
怎么了 你累了 说好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不说了 爱淡了 梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数着你在不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻
我都还记得
你不等了 说好的 幸福呢
我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着
要怎么停呢
怎么了 你累了
说好的 幸福呢
我懂了 不说了
爱淡了 梦远了
我都还记得
为什么幸福时忍心离去☆..

thinking of him again
Monday, October 20, 2008 |12:54 AM

woke up on sat morning to read this on the papers:

Crash kills two; car torn into two

The two best friends were supposed to meet another group of friends for a late night's supper at Geylang Road. But they never did.

The car they were driving in slammed into a tree and both buddies were killed.

The horrific accident happened on Oct 16, at around 11.45pm.

The red Subaru WRX was forcefully torn into two - the front end of the car ended up three metres apart from its back half. The car's contents were strewn all over the road.

The car engine also burst into flames but the fire was put out in five minutes, The Straits Times reported.

The impact threw both driver, Mr Kerk Teck Guan, and passenger, Mr Ng Wei Liang, out of the car. It was so great that Mr Kerk's right arm was severed.

Both suffered multiple injuries and died 1 1/2 hours later in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

A Chinese national ,26, who works in the food industry, told Shin Min Daily News that he was nearby making a phone call when he heard the screeching sound of a car braking, followed by a loud bang.

According to Shin Min, he saw the car engine on fire and two men lying on the ground in a pool of blood, next to the car.

The man, who wanted to be known only as Mr Zhang, said that after the accident, he saw a bicycle that stopped by the site of the crash.

Mr Zhang also expressed that he often saw cyclists along that stretch of road.

But he was not sure whether the driver of the car had been trying to avoid the cyclist.

Mr Kerk's uncle also told Shin Min that at the time of the crash, one of his friends had seen a cyclist approaching the same road but against the traffic flow. The friend was following behind in another car.

My first reaction is..to look at the names of the people involved. In fact each time i read about news of accidents on N-S Highway its the same reaction. I look at the names of the people involved. My mind is always afraid that something will happen to him. Especially when i read news that involve Subarus and WRX.




溏心风暴Ⅱ之家好月圆
Tuesday, October 14, 2008 |9:49 PM

Above is the latest TVB show..Record is 40 episodes in 7 days. Not bad eh? hahah..unbelievable i finished 3 TVB shows in less than a month. The habit of watching Hong Kong TVB shows is in me again. Actually, watching dvds at home is one of my cost cutting measures. Overall review of the show --> Fantastic. Hopefully they will have Part 3. After finishing the show i am feeling a loss..waiting for the next 大制作.




how the financial turmoil have affected me
Sunday, October 12, 2008 |10:29 PM

Just last friday, i read the article that officially Singapore is in recession. For the past weeks, when i pick up the papers daily its financial news hitting the headlines..day after day..banks collapsing, bailouts, reducing interest rates etc. Well fear is gripping everyone as people don't know what to look for in the coming days i read about how traders expecting a huge cut in their bonuses, how families who used to spend lavishly cut down their expenses, how people say they can't always buy their gucci, hermes, prada bags and the list goes on. I always thought what these people mentioned are so cliche till i went shopping yesterday with a friend of mine. Taka was having sale for its card holders so there was a crowd but i felt that the crowd wasn't as much as before. As i moved on to Isetan Scotts and Tangs, *jaws dropped* the situation was bad. in fact should i say the atmosphere was eerie. There was no crowd on a Sat night! *shakes head*

As for me, the measures i've taken are as follows:

1) My bobbie brown blusher is almost running out..went to taka counter but they didn't had the color i wanted so approached CD counter but they also didn't have the one i wanted *sway* right..walked to Tangs to realise they don't have Bobbie Brown counter..luckily i brought along my Isetan voucher and finally i saw my CD blusher that i wanted...it costs $66 dollars so i used my $40 voucher and the rest i paid using my Isetan card which had a 5% rebate better than nothing. :)

my Christian Dior Shimmer

2) today went shopping with charlene again..this girl have so many cards should i be thankful to her.well she is entitled to 15% discount using taka card so today i took my watch belt for a change. Follie Follie already had a 10% discount so but using the taka card have another 15% making it 25% altogether. Original cost - $49 after 25% only $37 a good $12 saved! and best of all my watch belt it now pink and it looks brand new! *smiles*

a brand new look

a clearer view of my watch my bao bei follie follie watch :)
3) finally..i have always been a lover of parfums..i use 7 different parfums for 7 different days and currently my stock is depleting! so its time to replenish. the wise choice would be to purchase it @ shopping centres..coz they have free gifts like pouches etc.but but do i need it?? nono..so the wise choice i made was that i went to Lucky plaza..they have loads of parfum shops..and i got this.. 100ml for $75. i think @ Tangs its selling 100ml for $100+ another good $20+ saved :)

Presenting "Mariah Carey" perfume

last of all the bottle is in purple chio right?





Updates from Japan Grand prix
|7:42 PM

where is everyone after the singapore gp? just last month our country held the first night race of the GP. Historical, magnificant! must say its well staged but i still read about complains from the roads being bumpy, track like a circus, safety car is a joke till the tram line causes mechanical fault! well but i do believe when there are complaints then there'll be improvement. so disappointed that i didn't get to go for the first night race. better make sure i make it there next year!! but i'm so disappointed i realise that many people aren't actually F1 fans..people are only excited when its comes to singapore but not many people are in fact interested in motor racing *haiz*..how i wish more people share this passion of motor racing with me...anyway F1 has 2 more races before the 2008 calendar ends..well i am looking @ going for the Australian Grand Prix next year..for now..its updates from the Japan Grand Prix held @ the Fuji speedway today. and its yet another unexpected win for Alonso of Renault despite not starting from pole position. In fact, Hamilton started from Pole but ended in 12th position.

yay yay...though i aint' a Renault fan but i am always happy when a black horse win after all the speculation of Hamilton and Massa. So there's still competition to be seen in the last 2 races of the year * hiaks hiaks*

*For the news on the Japan Grand Prix, please see http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2008/10/8517.html







realisation from the packing of my room
Tuesday, October 07, 2008 |12:12 AM

*zzz* i am so tired from packing of my room!!! gosh its amazing that i threw out so many things from old bags, writing pads and other miscellaneous stuff and i repack all my electronic stuff, nail polish and some of the beauty stuff into boxes now my room is much neater :) such a great sense of satisfaction. hee hee. in fact while i was packing my stuff i realise i gave away many those small small cute cute things which were given to me by some of my friends. if you are reading this, many at times i am happy that during occassions, they give me those cute cute things (ie: handphone pouch, key chains, hello kitty things) but then again i really don't need those stuff. actually i feel that alot of people in my church give me the things out of love yet they don't really know what i want. Don't people realise i never put my handphone in a pouch? and also i dun really need so many key chains..and as for hello kitty stuff...i think alot of people dun realise what kind of stuff i really do like... another thing to add on is people give me books for presents. pls pls i am not someone who really really loves reading that much. so please dun give me books that you think are interesting to me but to me it doesn't appeal.

for now..we are already in the last quarter of the year and xmas is like 2.5 months away..will be expecting gifts.but pls pls if my friends so read this post of mine..pls i would very much appreciate vouchers..yes vouchers...shopping vouchers which i think are more practical for me..then i can grab things i like myself..if people thing shopping vouchers aren't those which will help me grow spiritually ..then can also give me vouchers from book stores and when i feel like reading / grabbing some christian literature..then i can go and buy on my own..




jaded.1 more week
Friday, October 03, 2008 |6:28 PM

sometimes i really regret leaving audit.maybe i should say its my misfortune to have ended up in my current company. I have a real terrible CEO and i think a considered nice CFO. CFO is a nice lady apparently quite motherly lah. But my CEO is really a terror. Petty, and like to do those 小动作. My whole finance team in SLIC is leaving. Best right? in the past its always 1 person leaving @ a time but now the whole team is leaving @ 1 go. my departure is thanks to my dearest CEO. Well i really have many encounters with him. should i say have it made me stronger or more vunerable? actually i really think i shouldn't be angry with him but let me tell some disgusting things he did:

1) there was this issue which dragged like 1/2 a year and can't settle. my cfo computed that we should be getting back an RMB xx amount from the 3rd party. But then my ceo asked someone else compute and they ended up paying a HUGE sum out to the 3rd party;

2) worst of all we didn't agree to pay out the amount and he forced my CFO to accept the figure and wanted the finance team to bear responsibility if there are any mistakes with regards to the above;

3) he loves to shout @ people. Shout @ my cfo along the corridor and bangs the table @ people. 1 classic example: i was having a meeting with my CFO about last fri. my ceo didn't even knock on the door and just barge in and demanded to see my CFO. my cfo told him to give her 15 mins but he refuse and shouted that HE WILL SACK HER WITHIN 24 HOURS IF SHE DIDN'T SEE HIM IMMEDIATELY;

4) most classic example: today he ordered the IT department to cut off my colleague and mine internet access. i called the IT dept and they say the reason is because i have resigned. but then again..the whole dept have resigned. y only the 2 of us???

from the above it only shows 1 thing...小人. really glad i am leaving this place. won't ever look back. had enough of it..BYE!!!!
