http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20090324/tap-290-woman-killed-hit-train-clementi-231650b.htmlI'm not sure whether she meant to commit suicide or was accidentally knocked down by the train (unlikely) but either way, I think it's a sad way to die. I mean being hit by an incoming train is cruel. It's a lose lose situation - u die or u die. I was talking to "yam cake" today and I told her that if it's me, I wouldn't want to kill myself in that way. I think I would rather eat sleeping pills and breathe in carbon monoxide in a car. I think that's the quietest way to kill yourself. No jumping from buildings, using a knife to slash yourself. It's all so painful...
Anyway just a random thought, please don't think that I'm having depressing thoughts - I still wanna get married in July and eat my tau huay tomorrow ^_^

I'm touched by the msgs I've received from my friends after the last post...
However nothing has changed so far, I'm still stressed as ever...pimples are popping up, I've lost a little weight (1kg to be precise). Did I forget to mention that right now I have a new senior mgr and mgr??WTF..need so many mgrs for what???
In regards to the wedding, I'm just praying that my mum doesn't go into one of her foul moods and pinpoint something again. I hope she stays sane until after the wedding day (or better, stay sane forever). It's like I never know what's going to happen with her. I really suspect it's menopause..hehe..I can't believe I said this...oh well...
Warning to couples that are going to be married: it's not a walk in park if u get what I mean...don't think after proposal can lovely-dovey ah...wait till u hear what your parents want (for me, its mine)...
Btw bui, I hope yours will be smooth sailing, which I know it will :)

The good times are gone. This financial crisis is really bad. I mean even though I'm not feeling it yet but I know it's a matter of time that S'pore will be hit badly.
And this comes to my next question? Do you think that the US bailout helped? Personally, I feel that it's too late. The damage has been done. If you're wondering, wahhh..how come I'm suddenly analysing all these stuff, it's cos' I was reading Time Asia just now. Really interesting article on what caused all this mayhem.
Also, I think that the next US president will need to do alot of damage control. Looking at the 2 US candidates, I'm not sure if they are competent enough. I feel that Obama is riding on the fact that everyone hates the Republicans and I don't like it that he has celebrities to advocate for him. It's like he's popular because of all this fanfare. Can he deliver is another thing. While McCain is a Bush clone, enough said.
I would have loved Hilary Clinton to be president though....US needs a woman president...hehe...
Ok lah....enough of all this boring stuff...need to start work soon...

Since the tainted milk incident, I've been reading labels of any products that I'm buying. Even yogurts like Meiji, I still check it out though I know it's not from China (better to be safe than sorry).
This is worrisome. Lucky I drink HL milk and not Dutch Lady. Oh by the way, latest news - there are now 5 more China made food products sold in Singapore that contain melamine.
Here's the link of all the products
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20080925/tap-140-5-china-made-products-tainted-me-231650b.htmlSo please be careful ya. Don't play play....

What's going on man? Lehman Brothers, AIG..now Morgan Stanley...
So drama this financial turmoil...I don't think it will impact Asia yet (but it will happen soon). I predict US - Europe - Asia.
Thank god I didn't buy any investment plans but let me tell you the joke of the day...my insurance policies were previously from AVIVA and I've just changed it to AIA a month ago...Wahahahah...talk about foresight...
Anyway it's just health policies so I guess its fine. I still have NTUC to fall back (thanks to my company)...
FYI, lately I've been enjoying watching CNN cos' of all this drama and the US presidency election. Like soap opera...

Is there a perfume that smells like egg yolk? Stupid question right? But you know what? There was someone in the train that smelt like this. I'm not sure if it's the lady or guy standing in front of me but it was like raw egg yolk. Hmmm...
Anyway I was actually starting to blog this when the boss came in and I think he saw my blogger page so I'm a little worried. No in fact, very worried. What if he starts searching for my blog. I'm kinda paranoid now.
In fact, if you noticed, I never put my pics or full name here. Knowing the place I'm in, you never know what they might find about you....Am I thinking too much???
*Worried......

Today morning I had one of my foulest moods ever. I never understand why people must crowd in the center of the train especially at the metal pole. I was in the train and there were 2 guys holding the damn pole like it's a life or death situation for them. Excuse me? Please move in front so that the people behind can move right? And guess what I did? I felt so frustrated that I pushed my bag forward, not once but twice and shoved the guy from the back. Am I a gangster anot? Pissed the hell out of me. Not only did I purposely use my bag to shove the guy, I made sure that when he turned around, I showed the "dao" face..whahahaha..
I was ready for a fight..seriously. But he didn't do anything leh. Just showed me an embarrassed look. Chey!! I wanted to scold him man..
Anyway that's about it for my action packed morning..hehe..

Wow, it's been a while since I've blog. Hmm..nothing much to add. Work is still as drama as it can be. Marriage life is doing fine. Haha..oh gosh..what should I write about?
Oh ok, I've booked my tics to Chiangmai. I'll be doing my Thai customary wedding there. It's going to be a simple one, held at my house in Chiangmai. I don't really need an elaborate one. Also, I can't wait to take a trip there cos' I wanna relax and get away from work.
You know what? Though I hate my job, I really like that I have a good Asst Mgr. I bet that if I left this place, I will never find such a good leader again. Cos' she's not from S'pore, maybe that's why she is flexible & decisive. If I got a female Singaporean boss, that will be the end of me. They are usually demanding, not flexible, seems to think that the whole world is against them..I hate this kind of person...Oh well...the dilemma right now is do I leave for greener pastures but end up with a rotten boss or stay here like a stale bread with a good boss (provided she doesn't leave b4 me)?

I've just finished editing hub's assignment and this module is a killer man. It's Strategic Management. Yewww..I hate this topic to the core. Even when I was doing my degree, I hated this topic. It was like yucks yucks. I can't stand the SWOT analysis and Macroenvironment. Usually I'll take 2 days to edit his assignment but for this one; I took 2-3 weeks to edit cos' each time I was always finding myself going completely bonkers. Well..at least it's done (though it's 1am right now)!!! Yeah!! I wanna go to sleep nowwwww....

I've not been inspired to blog lately Maybe cos' my AM is on leave, so most of the work falls on me. And when I'm at home, I'm usually KO so blogging has not been in my to-do list. I hate to work, period. Especially when I'm all by myself to fend against the **beep beep** bosses.
On a brighter note, I'll be eating sushi tomorrow. Yesh, with hub...I've got this craving for sushi since I went to Nihon Mura (Jap restuarant at Revenue hse) with Jaime & Helen. The sushi dishes are super cheap!! 99 cents man...Unbelievable!! Plus, the desserts are yummy...

Euro is finally over. 3 weeks of sleepless nights and looking like a panda are over. I'm glad that Spain won. After 44 years w/o a title, they deserved it. I really enjoy watching Euro cos there's always no clear winner. Makes the match much more exciting :)
Btw you know sometimes when u go into Yahoo's main page and there are articles that are displayed there. Anyway there was an article that caught my eye - "Will ERP mean every road pay" (
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20080629/tap-357200-231650b.html)
Here's the part that I like -
.....the day will be quite soon when the only safe place to leave your vehicle is at home, if you are lucky enough to own a landed property. You can well imagine that, one day, if I drive out of my house, the first thing I hear would be this ’beep’ sound coming from the little device on my dashboard, and everywhere you go, you will be hearing ’beep, beep, beep’, instead of car horns...
Everything is increasing...food, ERP, petrol...I feel the pinch...

Sob...doesn't time pass so fast like a bullet train. I'll be back to work tomorrow. Sigh...
This is really sad...I want more R&R...wouldn't it be good if we could just stay at home and not work with $$ dropping from the sky??? That'll be great man!!!! Oh man...the sianness..I know for sure that I'll have tons of stuff to clear tomorrow. I can just feel it...cries...

I'm going to swear off eating Thai buffet at Hilton for a while. I've been there like 4 times this year. Yesterday, I just went there with my ex-colleagues and now my tummy is like churning. I feel so
rolly polly, it's like my tummy is going to burst anytime. So guys..please don't ask me to go there for the next 6 months. I need a break ^_^
Sigh..I'm feeling super bored at work. I'm supposed to reply some emails but I've decided to post something (since dajie told me that I've not updated my blog). The thing is that I've got alot of thoughts I wanna say here, but I'm just too lazy to type it out..hmmm..does this make sense to you? I'm such a lazy person, just give me a bed and I can sleep in the office, right here right now..zzzzz..

I can't seem to get this sentence out of my mind - "Breakdown in Society". I heard it last night while watching CNN. I think this summarizes what this world is about, don't you think? From senseless wars to the undermining of the Beijing Olympics, it's a mad mad world. I guess when people around the world become more influential, the more chaos there is. The days of living a simple life is gone. You watch the news and you are like WTH is wrong with this world.
Actually I think that Singaporeans are very sheltered. We can be self centered at times, thinking only of our own needs and nothing else. Actually I'm not trying to be self righteous here. I admit, I'm also self centered and selfish. But I think that watching the news can sometimes humble you. It's good to be aware of what's happening and not be a tortoise.....

OMG..it's really humid tonight & I'm sweating buckets but I have to blog about this (irregardless that its 1am on a Saturday night)...this has been bugging me since Friday and it's about................................the movie - Forbidden Kingdom -_-
Let me tell you, it has one of the most ridiculous plots I've ever seen. The whole time I was shaking my head cos' I couldn't stand the plot. I'm a realistic so when everyone in ancient China speaks English to this ang moh kid who somehow teleported himself there, I’m like huh. It's sooo stupid. And the script is so cliche. Examples: "There can't be 2 tigers in a mountain", "the gate of no gate" and the best one "you orphan bitch". I mean when did the Chinese in the olden times spouted words like "orphan bitch"? I almost fainted when I heard that. And when one of the characters died, I just couldn't stop laughing. Imagine a hero saves a girl and he says - "swallow, don't die". Alamak, how can I take this movie seriously?
I knew that this movie would kinda stink but since Hub wanted to watch it and his exams just ended, I was thinking that it wouldn't be that bad. And the truth is, it was very very bad. Even hub thought so. We had that stunned look after the movie. No, actually I think everyone had that stunned look, not only us.
One of the worst shows I've ever watched man....

Here I am back again..many hours later, wide awake...
Right now, I'm actually trying to find a nice blogskin. Last night after my last post, I stayed till 2am finding for the right one. But all seem soooo umm, not my kind. I did try out out a few blogskins to see how it looks like but it just doesn't seem "me" so I reverted back to this one again. Crazy right? That's how indecisive I can be sometimes. When I'm getting clothes, I'm like yes, this is what I want. But trying to find a template for my blog is killing me ^_^
And the goddamn Internet is so slow today. Sigh..what else can go wrong man? Have you ever wondered why things just don't go the way you want? It's like some sort of unnatural force changes your flow...
It's like I want the internet to be fast but it's slow right now. I think god is playing a trick on me, he's telling me to freaking choose a skin right now and make up my mind...

Humans = fakers. Okay, this is from my general point of view. Btw this is not directed at anyone, just what I observed. For instance, when u are at work, your boss makes you do something that makes your temperature boil but u just keep quiet. Or maybe you can't stand someone, but you still smile at that person. I have to admit, I'm one of those. And in actual fact, how "saintly" a person is, I bet that person also has moments like this. We are such hypocrites...
I actually got this thought while I was on my way home yesterday. Thought of how humans are such funny beings. You simply hate that person but yet you act cordial in front of him...
Looking at the papers, you see how someone can kill another being for the most ridiculous reasons..we, humans are the worst...
Anyway, it's just a thought. No hard feelings ^_^ Just felt like getting this out..hehe..

I wonder why do people wear the way they wear (hehe..sounds cheem?). This morning I saw a lady who was clearly on the round side wearing tight tight clothes. Tight top and short skirt. It's like the seams were bursting. Omg..and she was wearing high heels. I had that urge to just knock her and I could actually imagine her falling off. She reminds me of a toy, what was that? That toy that has a round base and once you knock it, it just sways side by side. In fact, I actually like to human watch in the morn. The behavior that some Singaporeans display during the morning rush hour makes me so amused....
Btw I saw this article in the Straits Times about Singaporeans and it was talking about our complacency towards many things. This example really made me laugh. One of the examples that the article gave was this - The LTA made an announcement that they'll put in $80million to upgrade roads etc but why didn't the Singaporeans question where the $80million came from? Ok, I for one didn't thought of that. I never question where all those funds came from. Anyway good article I must say, the article questions our bochup-ness towards many things...
