千五百七十; The Sims 2

Planning to try doing listening comprehension exercises after work in the office. It's the best place to do it, cos the PC has my earphones plugged in to it and can just sit properly at my table and do. Have to complete 28days' worth of listening in a day or 2 though.

And now is a really bad time to get addicted on The Sims again. Yesterday I was letting my TNK family in The Sims 2 do their thing, and the man of the household died (from old age haha) and gave my family insurance money from his death. His little boy got taken away by the social worker unfortunately.. and then luckily, the wife, being a Lusty Lover Aspirant, had other backups so she called up one of her lovers and I made him move in with our Dina and he brought in $46k to our family Income. The little girl Julie grew up into a teenager and I have to find a job for her. I think I applied for her a Gofer job last night. I think its time to increase the size of the house though. It's so cramped with all the equipment cluttering the house.

Ok , i better get back to my listening...

千五百六十九: Kuala Lumpur Plans

I wonder what's wrong today. Lips were tingling the whole day. (the word tingling looks like its spelt wrongly..) hmm

Settled on our accomodation for the xmas eve Kuala Lumpur trip, so irritated that the family suite disappeared in our moment of hesitation. In the end, we had to book a twin and triple suite and split ourselves up instead. argh.

Update: dunno why, i thought I would just go to the website to take a look to see if there is the family suite again and there is!!!! so i booked it first!! then i'll cancel the other rooms tomorrow if this one is confirmed (cos it comes with breakfast for the same price lor...) so happy!! keke..

so we are going to stay at Pacific Regency Hotel Apartments in Kuala Lumpur, and we booked the 2 bedroom suite, which should be the Family Suite cos i don't see any other 2 bedroom suite type in their website. Somemore, free wireless internet connection! :D its just one night, but with internet, at least can check where to go if we are bored..

ok, with my tingly lips and I kept sneezing for no reason and felt very cold in the office. and I had a really weird nightmare last night. I met my primary school friend in the nightmare, we were having a good time until I realised she had stolen my wallet. my Coach wallet from Ryo as a birthday gift!!! I was so mad, (in the dream) until I realised she had stolen the wallet because she was being directed by this evil mastermind which turned out to be a guy i know from somewhere. (I can't remember who it was in my dream right now..) so.. it was tiring being angry, and woke up feeling very agitated and alot more tired than b4 i went to bed.. :(

千五百六十八: 和楽

Dinner at Waraku with the fashion show pple. so expensive ... dunno why we had to pay $10 more for no reason. :( in the end the sum was about $40 per person! so irritated. didn't expect to spend so much.

After that, we headed to Balaclava for a drink, wine treat from K.. :D so about 5 of us shared a bottle of Oyster Bay red wine, chit chat for quite abit. and then K sent me and Yumi back. Hopefully next week we can meet for lunch once b4 i fly to Seattle over the weekend.

千五百六十七: 勤労の日

Thanks to the public holiday today, was able to get a couple of errands done.
  1. Open a UOB Kay Hian trading account
  2. Buy my contact lens cleaning solution (been putting this off and i thought I could share with my sis until I realised I need a bottle to use in Seattle. -.- )
  3. Created another mosaic piece - beer glass. :D
Mosaic Beer Glass

Problem was, today also spent alot of money. Lunch was $20 , dinner was $16, taxi fares was $14 + $1 + $6 = $21 (ARGH!!) and the contact lens thing cost like $8.50!? Luckily its payday again next week. but i was saving up for shopping in San Francisco!!

Went to Go-san's house but due to waking up too early this morning (stupid daily alarm...) I kept dozing off while watching tv at 11plus pm. :S w/o alcohol. sighz. old liaoz.

oh I think that the rumour i heard about my idol in sg is probably not true. Not one person spotted him so luckily I didn't spend a day waiting for him to appear because i had actually quite a lot of matters to settle. anyway can still see him on tv :


Gatsby Hair Bleach CM starring 木村拓哉

This campaign was launched in Japan in March so we're a little late here. kinda not so manly, but he's still soooo pretty!!

千五百六十六: ETF

I realise I have to seriously think about investments liao. Went to this investment talk with Akane, and its really time to think about my finances more seriously. I have the expenses part down quite well but the higher income part I have to plan and act upon.

and tomorrow will be a busy day. heard a super super delicious rumour about a star in town, wonder if its true. but as a true fan, I'll be hiding out and waiting for his appearance if it happens to be true. I believe that if I want something bad enough, I will be able to get it somehow.

mosaic class and then house party at Go-san's place. probably sleeping over?

Saturday is maybe lunch and movie with a fren, then dinner with the fashion show people. Sunday has to be study day!!!

千五百六十五: Bee Movie



Hilarious movie! Spoilt by the fact that the GV theater we were in PS was having some sound system problem, but at least we received another free ticket in return.

Something made me really pissed off and it was just "click" and i told the person we're not friends anymore. Firstly i made the effort to ask the person to join me in a movie I thought was gd and he said he didnt want to watch cos its a cartoon. AND. he goes to watch it anyway cos someone with a free ticket asked him to go. so my asking had to come with a free ticket?? kinda hypocritical, don't you think? Anyway, things i found meaningful and need to do like mooncake shopping etc was always rejected or pushed away with excuses. and then I'm called petty or oversensitive when I get mad. Who wouldn't? Don't tell me you're not going to do something with me for some dumb reason when you will still do it with other people when it benefits u. But heck it, since we are not frens anymore, I wont bother to go on telling this person why I am not going to be in this supposed friendship anymore. When I pointed out what I was mad at, since he insisted that he was "such a person", then sorry lor, I dun wan to be friends with "such a person". its like you are insisting you are a hypocrite and want to remain one.

千五百六十三: Rules of Attraction

On my way home I was savouring the voice of someone special in my head today. I was just replaying his voice over and over in my head today and it suddenly dawned on me that one of the characteristics that attract me to any guy is his voice.

First, the smile. Some people have smiles that just light up their whole face, making an ordinarily normal face look very mischievous and cheeky and such smiles attract me. Some people though, when they smile, they look very fake, very insincere.. too wide a smile? teeth baring smile? I guess the difference is whether their eyes smile with their mouth. Some guys smile and look like perverts.. and some just look awkward.

Then.. the voice. the way of speaking. Youthful voices that speak in slow, measured, well-thought tones. I can't stand nasal voices or voices that are gruffy. Or people who speak without thinking. Voices can't be too high of course, else so sissy, but think Kimura Takuya ~~ ☆ that's the best kind of voice I like actually haha.. but anyway, I love to hear intelligence in a voice, patience, and kindness. and wit. and laughter in the voice. not the hahaha kind but just that you can hear fun bubbling in it. Boyish voices where u can hear the musculinity behind them, of men who are sure of themselves, confident but not pompous or cocky or arrogant. & of course these voices do not speak inappropriate words, do not make fun of my name, my attire or the things i do but instead give their comment with constructive suggestions for me to improve upon.

if after the smile has charmed me enough, with the eyes and the voice, I guess the general air the guy gives off as confident, laid back, good memory and quick mind is good enough. (haha.. quite high standards there)

BUT I can't stand lazy guys. guys who skive off . guys who keep complaining w/o doing anything to change the situation (actually applies to girls as well for this.. whiners are weiners) or guys who can't be bothered to be on time, or to keep to the time agreed upon. (Ryo has to work on this punctuality thing with me but he definitely is not lazy) I hate being made to wait, it makes me feel like the other party treats my time with no importance and I can afford to waste my time and wait around.

so... I thought about this, and dreamily went back to replaying the voice in my head again and again as I made my way home in the cool evening air.

千五百六十二: Shopping!

ok .. At least this is going to be about the things i want to buy...

first.. a laptop..

My current one was bought in 2005, VGN-Y70P. so its nearly 3 years old now. It works fine mostly, but the screen sometimes flickers, and the left mouse key on the laptop is abit spoilt. You have to press it in the right place with the right strength for it to work. (hehe) but of course if you have an external mouse, there's no problem with this. I can't really bear to part with this one cos its so light!! it's only 1.69kg, but its really barebone, no cd/DVD drives at all, only a laptop. Since my sis will be going to university next year, thought why not, might as well get a new one, pass this on to her after clearing the hard disk?

so now i'm aiming for one in the SZ series, which is super light, and I can carry with 1 hand. (this is very impt to me, else if a laptop is immobile whats the point) In Sg, the VGN-SZ55GN/B costs about $2499, the lowest priced SZ model. Checked out its equivalent model in JP, and its VGN-SZ54B/B and the difference is that it has Vista Home Premium instead of Vista Business as compared to the SG version. The cost is 180,800yen, about S$2361 (yay cheaper!!) and I have a $250 value in my point card which i can use to discount the purchase further. The remaining cost that I pay in cash, I get another further 10% point back into my card (~16,000points and 1 pt = 1 yen that I can use) which i can use in future.. :D

so.. now i gotta decide whether I wan to buy it this december or my next trip. hmm probably next trip i think.. save up more and i will be shopping alot this december liao hoho.

ok.. other things i will probably buy thx to xQ^^ and his discounts during the trip (all from Coach cos the price is so so so affordable there!!):
  1. Signature Stripe Ipod Case
  2. Signature Large Beauty Case in Brass/Khaki/Parchment
  3. Logo Cellphone Medallion Bracelet Cellphone Lanyard
  4. Signature Studded Gallery Tote - Brass/Gold - this is super nice but I want to be able to put a laptop into the bag, so maybe I might have to go for a bigger bag?? shucks. If its bigger I can use the bag as carryon whenever I travel liao
  5. Signature Demi Pouch - Black - looks very good for clubbing but what can it hold?? definitely can't fit my wallet in....
  6. So i think i'll go there and see if any pouch suits me at all. hmm.
I wonder if Kate Spade bags are more affordable there...

And i'll be shopping for maybe clothes/boots there oso. Speaking of which, i need to get some gloves after work, probably from the coldwear store. have to squeeze out sometime after work ... but looking very forward to the shopping!!

千五百六十一: 61 dinner

Small gathering yesterday, shopping with my sister before that as well after work, and before that introduced my sister to my colleagues at work when she came to sign contract.

Dinner came with shocking news, i hope he thinks through more future decisions less impulsively though. After dinner we had drinks at SMU Ice Cold Bs, remember to bring your matric card/ some sort of tertiary card / alumni card for 30% off drinks. Beers turned out to be $7 each because of that.

Before dinner my sis was the office with me as she came to sign contract for her holidays temp job here. Then intro-ed her to some of the APAC colleagues, then to the Japan colleagues and after that she was lucky cos we had bento lunches leftover from the IT days event and then she ate one for lunch. She then sat there studying (and playing DS) until my working hours ended and we headed to Citylink for some shopping before the 61 dinner.

I dunno why she can find stuff to fit her so easily?? Almost immediately, she found a pair of ballet type flats which looks totally cute on her, then after that at zara, she found jeans also and I got a Mr Men tshirt. I wanted to get shoes originally!! went to like all the shoe stores and saw 1 pair i liked but it was kind of expensive. (>$50) have nv spent that kind of money on shoes in sg b4, so .. seems kind of expensive maybe i'll wait till my pay rise. or maybe my bonus. hehe.

It was IT day in the office, so there were some cool stuff on sale from the vendor booths and a lucky draw going on in the office. $14 for 1GB SD card, so I got Ryo and myself 1, then 2GB thumbdrive at $19.90 so got that as well. I better bring my checkbook next week, they'll deliver everything to the office next week .

I didn't realise there were only 2 wks left to the exam and the trip, so this weekend i really have to study.... ArghH!!

千五百六十: Kose Sale

Much thanks to the people who tried to calm me down, to console me, to let me fume silently, to try to make me feel better about the overall situation. Really appreciate it. I want to be really evil and say that I hope it will be boring event but I do hope you guys have fun and take lots of pictures and hopefully I will spend the time with other uninvited guests having fun on my own also (crosses fingers and toes). The next one I will (must) be part of it, definitely.

I went to the Kose sale with the girls in the office today, a whole bunch of nearly 20 girls rushing down to Great World City at lunch time to try to snag the 70% discounts. In the end, the sale was quite disappointing. Had wanted to get whitening products, but the discounts were barely 20% for those and for $80, it was difficult to put down such money to try new skin care products. & the cosmetics on sale didn't really appeal in terms of colours or packaging. Thought of buying mascara, but in the end I placed the item back as i still had a Lancome one unused in my cupboard. thts $23 not spent. :) All I bought from the sale was a fine line concealer that seemed really worth it at $19. :D so .. everyone was very surprised I only bought that, but then its stuff for the face, & face is so impt, so why buy just cos its cheap??

weekend soon again.. can't wait!

千五百五十九: Weddings

Today seems like a replay of what happened the same time last year.

I found out I was purposely cut out of a wedding list this time (last year was accidentally apparently). Reason given (as heard from some of the classmates who were invited?).. no space. No space when almost all the guys in the class were invited? I forgave her when she ruined my reputation in hall a long time ago after she apologised cos I thought, fine, we've been classmates for a while and the group is still pretty close after all. Now, of cos there will be no invitation from me when it's my turn and I will not give some crap excuse like not enough space. If i don't invite someone, means I don't want the person to be there. Simple and clear.

Not enough for the day, something that I had hoped would never happen happened. I bumped into my molester. He didn't see me, thank god. I was bent over a book when this person walked past me and I didn't know why, chills went through my spine. I just felt a sense of foreboding, and not knowing why I looked up, at the pair of legs which led to a very familiar-looking backview. Looked abit more until the guy turned right at the bookshelves at the cookbook section and I almost stopped breathing in fear. It was the damned molester. and he was wearing the same red shirt as the day we ambushed him.

I was so scared, even though I knew he couldn't do anything to me in the bookstore, I was just scared that he would see my face, recognise me and come after me for revenge. My mind was a blank at that moment, took out my phone and didn't know who to call for help. This is the post incident trauma kicking in. I didn't know that I would fear him so much if I saw him again and today 's incident was enough to really shake me. I sorta just stood behind the shelf near me, not moving, trying to keep the top of his head in sight to make sure I wasn't in his line of sight at any time. Finally after he circled the store for a while, he left while i dodged behind shelves to avoid being seen. It was really horrible. I was all jittery and just on the watch in case he appeared and only dared to breathe after I got into my parents' car.

Please, let's just have the court session asap to put this guy away and let me live in peace again.

千五百五十八: Hubstation

I went with 郷さん to Vivocity Starhub today to try to apply for her cable tV service via the Hubstation promo, which comes with free 1mB broadband internet free. We still didn't know yet if her new place had the starhub signal yet, so it was really a gamble.

Bought the set, got some cables and took a cab to her friend's place for some glass shelves (to be used as her shoes rack) then took the cab back to her place to begin the setup while she prepared dinner for us. The card validation took >10 minutes and I was beginning to think that her place did not have the cable signal after all. So I thought, no harm calling Starhub for a check, then I called them up and this technician said the account seems to have not been set up properly yet. I was a little panicking by then, because I really wanted to watch the last episode of 女婿当家 on channel 8 but we didn't realise the tv cable had a different head from the TV and then I couldn't even connect the tv to the cable point directly. Really felt like crying then, seemed like a helpless situation and I was missing the show for no reason... :S

郷さんwas really sorry about making me miss the show, then we just put in a DVD in the DVD player that I had set up for her as well and watched it while the technician said he had set up the system again, and intermittently we switched channels to check but it still wasn't working. :(

at 10pm, i was like, its really the problem of her house then, then i switched to the cable channel video input and saw the 10pm news beginning on channel 8. ArgHHHH!!!!! i was really pekchek and couldn't believe how super unlucky the stupid set had chose to be dead until the show was over. ARGHHH!!!

but of cos, things worked the way they should, and I was happy that she could watch her cable tv and use her internet and my setup wasn't a waste of time. phew.

well this totally proves we don't really need guys for such setting up, if the ISP and the cable tv providers properly do their job on their end. and 郷さん is going to treat me to high tea in return for my services. :D
*edit - I said we don't need guys because when I said I was going to help my colleague set up her internet and cable tv services to a male colleague before leaving, he looked so disbelieving that I could do it. hur!

on the other note, my sister is going to work as a temp in my office soon, after her A levels. so we can probably get my parents to drive us both to work from now on. hee hee hee.

waiting for my hair to dry, I took a cab home from her place at about 11pm. I haven't been to a HDB area for so long that I kinda forgot how smelly the lifts were. Do people still pee in the lift?! grosss!!!

On a sidenote, Happy Birthday Mr Takuya Kimura!!! お誕生日おめでとう!!My idol is 35 years old this year.. (oh i just realised he's a year younger than Ryo..) but still looks as good as when he was 10 years ago. Well done!! and many more good years to come and stay handsome forever!!! :D

千五百五十七: Sleep Debt

I wonder why I sleep alot during weekends nowadays. I don't stay up late, and when I just become sleepy after a little reading on the bed and drift off to dreamland. is it age??

and the amazing thing is that I manage to sleep early in the evening even after a 4hour nap in the afternoon. (-.-;)

so my plans for studying didn't work out too well, have to buck up abit if I want to try to pass the JLPT this year...

I had strange dreams last night, of seeing Ryo's parents, and brother's family but no recollection of seeing Ryo at all in my dreams at all. Sighz. We decided on where to stay for the year end trip, I think the place is at 夙川, near my favourite Kura-sushi, a conveyor belt sushi place. :D can't wait to see him!! coincidentally, he's going to SFO until 2-Dec, when I'm only landing in SFO on 2-Dec (if my trip is confirmed). argh!! 勘違い・・・ just miss each other. too bad about this...

ok i better go try to study abit more before the weekend ends..

千五百五十六: Friendship

I saw several livejournal blogs and they had the click to read further option. why my one don't have?

I read my past entries and I see that I did have a very very low level of tolerance and a very bad temper. I guess this really does taper off with age, since I hardly feel anything worth getting so angry about nowadays. I do get pissed off when I don't get my way, what I want, but that also fades off quickly.

But anger with people, they pretty much stay the same. Once I start feeling different about a person, it doesn't change anymore. The trust, the feelings of goodwill just go and don't come back. (Once trust is gone, its hard to earn it back) Especially being treated with double standards. I hate people who try to sweet talk me, coerce me like I'm some idiot when the faults, the mistakes are laid out so obviously and they don't respect my requests to stop calling me by some names that make me very uncomfortable, even after not only 2times but 3 times of me telling them nicely to stop calling me that way, since we are only friends. Even close male friends, I don't do affectionate name-calling, as that would mess up platonic friendships with me.

I don't easily call people close friends, or let them be close friends, so if we were only went out a few times, ate a few meals, I don't think that really counts to me as becoming my close friend?? Friendship needs to be proven, friends are supposed to be there in times of need. Only those who have proven their friendship (like some of the 61ders, Xynn)or people who has been through thick and thin with me (Friday, my sisters maybe) are the ones I will truly say are close to me. The rest are just people who come in and out of your life. yeah, friends, acquaintances, but its very early to call people close friends when barely known for a year. I draw lines between becoming too good friends with colleagues. If from work, we go out as a group, fine. But, frequent outings between just a guy and a girl leads to gossip and I do not wish to allow that to happen. I don't want a rerun of hall life, just want to keep my own life intact. Contact after work should only be on a need-to basis. Else there isn't any line between work and private life and it all gets messed up sooner or later.

Now, I am happy with going out with the group of local girls, the Japanese ladies also are including me in their meals and outings. It might get a little expensive going out with girls, (no one to give u treats for no reasons..) but what's the price for getting a general peace of mind anyway.

千五百五十五: Steamboat Dinner

Steamboat dinner
Remains of a good steamboat dinner


:D I suggested that we have steamboat for dinner last night and my parents really went to Tiong Bahru market in the morning after sending me to work to get ingredients! :D

Steamboat at home is high on vegetables and low on meat. which suits us very well. With squid, white meat fish, and mushrooms and vegetables, there is more than enough food for picky me ( since everything my mum buys is food I like). hehe. ate throughout the Shall I Dance movie, with the tv screen swivelled towards the dining table. However my sis in UK came down with some sort of stomach flu and she im-ed us during dinner and I felt it was abit bad to tell her that we were having steamboat while she wasn't feeling too well there.. hmmm ...

finally its Friday again, and we're having a birthday dinner for the november people today :)

千五百五十四: Balaclava


I haven't gone drinking for a while and yesterday just felt like going out to enjoy the atmosphere of a pre-public holiday drink. Got the japanese ladies in the office to go with me to Balaclava, and we saw K there with his colleagues. Sg is so small, cos after that we saw KP with 2 korean ladies there so the group of us from the fashion show ended up gathering there in a big group.

Left the office at about 7pm, wanted to hv dinner at Suntec then do pedicure but then the stupid shop, despite us having made reservations, made us wait for 30 minutes and then we decided that that was abit too much, if they were shorthanded then don't take reservations!! so we just left cos we hadn't finished our dinner at Tonkichi yet and we had rushed there to make it in time for our appt. Went back to finish dinner, then headed for Balaclava at about 9.30pm. I love the place, cos its always so full of beautiful / well dressed execs (due to the proximity of the banks i guess) and the guys look more handsome and classy than at St James/zouk. hee.

I had a beer then cos K had bought his 1-for-1 early, he had quite a few drinks left and he gave me 2 bourbon cokes which surprisingly didnt get me too sleepy. Chatted quite abit, then he offered to send me back when I was actually ready to take cab liao. By then, the other japanese ladies had gone back le, cos of work today. His fren gave us a lift back to PSA building where he had left his car, then he had to make a work call to US so he took me up to his office so that I could use the loo and he could make his call. saw what his desk looks like, well all cubicles but very nice view from the window and he's quite a neat guy. waited for him to make the call, then he gave me a lift back. :D

& woke up late today but luckily my parents gave me a lift to work as they headed out for some marketing and early breakfast. its so shiok when you can leave the house at 8am and still be early for work!

千五百五十三: 周杰倫 - 最長的電影

From Jay's latest album
作曲:周杰倫

我們的開始 是很長的電影
放映了三年 我票都還留著

冰上的芭蕾 腦海中還在旋轉
望著妳 慢慢忘記妳

#朦朧的時間 我們溜了多遠
 冰刀劃的圈 圈起了誰改變
 如果再重來 會不會稍嫌狼狽
 愛是不是不開口才珍貴


*再給我兩分鐘 讓我把記憶結成冰
 別融化了眼淚 妳妝都花了要我怎麼記得
 記得妳叫我忘了吧 記得妳叫我忘了吧
 妳說妳會哭 不是因為在乎

千五百五十二: SOX

There was some internal audit session with the auditors today and it was quite a nerve-wrecking experience. Just knowing they were auditors made the session of going through our checking process was enough to make me sweat. With every explanation I made, I'm wondering if they were going to tear it down or did I not cover all aspects. Luckily, the session went through quite smoothly, they didn't ask me as many questions as they asked James. phew.

Maybe that was the reason I was feeling sick all throughout the morning waiting and dreading this session with the auditors.

But despite a 4-hour nap yesterday, and sleeping early last night, I felt very groggy and heavy-headed today. hmmm.

& I finally finished watching Heroes! The ending came so suddenly, and the villain was killed so easily it was not really believable. A little disappointed with the ending.

千五百四十九: Icon

Shunji-san himself personally helped me style my hair :D pretty cool, he didn't realise I was singaporean until he heard me on the phone with my mom. sighz. if only my mum nv go and kpo and call me while doing hair. it was quite rude of me to have to pick up the phone while he did my hair. :s

千五百四十八: Conduroy Cafe

Had some good news today from work, from the company that manages our contracts actually. they are merging with another business unit from their parent company so they are becoming 1 big company in Singapore. Then, they are going to take a more active role in our welfare, so they are going to start giving out retention bonuses when we renew our contracts. :D luckily my contract is due for renewal next month. hohohoho.

After work, was supposed to help Go-san check internet plans, but the website was so outdated for Starhub that we decided to head for the shop at Vivocity to directly check and apply. As it turns out, the hubstation thing for cable tv is quite worth it, since free internet if you're a light user, but we had to check her new aptment for cable point and signal first. -.- so in the end, we couldn't apply.

Headed to the food court for dinner and then she confided in me about some issues. I would say good luck and I am happy for her, but then the food court is really not a good place for heartfelt talk. the place is super noisy (even though we had our dinner at nearly 8pm)and then so we headed to Conduroy Cafe to chit chat over a drink.

Conduroy Cafe is the sibling cafe of Conduroy and Finch I went to with Go-san b4 and very very nice ambience. we took outdoor seats since the place was quite cold, then she treated me to a drink for helping her with her internet applications. :D had a lot more secrets spilling out, but i am glad to have someone to share with and give me some advice from a outsider's point of view since she dunno me very well also. Beautiful view of sentosa gateway and the ships by the way. Finally reached home at about 11pm, quite tired.

I'm waiting for my hair to dry now.. (realised from many blogs i read that posts are written when most girls are waiting for their hair to dry in the nite after a late shower... hmm) so .. good nite!!
