victor is cute!

him: ching 在嗎?
me: 我不知道他去哪里 leh.
him: 你不知道他去哪里啊? 可以叫他打給我嗎?
me: 你有打他的 handphone 嗎?
him: 沒有 leh.
me: 你...要不要 try 打他的 handphone?
him: er...ok looorrrrr.

and we both start giggling. =.=


pity he only comes into the office in the mornings and stays at site for the rest of the day. i probably would have enjoyed work better. i wonder if he's single. =\

was supposed to meet one AF bro to pass him my e. tenellus and glass diffuser, and another bro to get the betta tank from, but both pangseh-ed me! lucky we were supposed to meet at sengkang, so i didn't have to go all the way out for them. tsk!


bought sushi dinner again. i have no idea why i'm always craving for sushi. thankfully i hardly eat rice besides sushi. fat fat fat! looking forward to dinner this friday to celebrate PL's birthday. buffet again! sad.

teo's aquatic farm

headed over lim chu kang to find the infamous teo's aquatic farm that everyone's been talking about. it was so hard to find! nearly gave up even. but alas, we found it, with some help.


was expecting more customers but apparently, we were the only ones. they had 2 large planted tanks with discus. their stock was kept at the back instead of in glass tanks. really supplier sia. the uncle (i don't know if he's teo or not.) was very nice. i told him what plants i wanted and he picked them out for me, not minding that he had to walk to and fro and into the 'ponds'. he also suggested plants for my low tech tank when the plants i thought of wasn't suitable. in the end, he even gave me FOC two bunches of plants to 'try' planting.


planting took me like, 2 hours. i faced the problem of the plants not holding on to the soil. they came out so easily and messed up the waters. i also realized i bought too many plants. i still have quite a large handful of e. tenellus extra. tsk.


my e. tenellus foreground was also a bad choice. i think it was my planting skills. it looks so messy! the background was worse. >.<


i'm just praying for all of them to grow and grow out nicely. =(

the irony of it all

as if a new incognito blog address wasn't enough, i had chosen this time to decomm and restart my tank. lol. cabbed down c328 yesterday to get another packet of gex soil and some equipment. cabfare was a whopping $18 by the way. madness! spent yet another almost $50. decided to DIY some co2, so i had to get tubings and a glass diffuser. also tried root monster and seachem flourish.*cross fingers* going down teo's later today (hopefully) to get my plants. going for more low tech this time; ferns, anubias and probably mini nanas or hardy stem plants.


the changing of soil took me around 3 hours since i had to painfully scoop out the water bowl by bowl. filling the tank was slower, cos i didn't want to disturb the substrate. tsk. also set up a mini tank, planning to keep my sakuras in there. may get bees if successful. i'm pretty skeptical though, since my first no-filter tank didn't quite work out. sigh. wish me luck!


- - - - - - - - -


work was terrible today. HL and LP was on mc, and so i had to cover HL's work. su isn't of much help either. all that emailing and ordering of supplies nearly drove me crazy.


i hate to say this, but the new project engineer vict IS quite good looking. lols. he's pretty nice and easy to work with too. =P

alas, seems like the only place i can be myself and be in control, is at the office. how pathetic.

1 more reason to hate work

my office is officially unclean. and i'm probably the sway-est of them all.

right. my office has a filing room where, obviously, the old files are kept. it's normally pretty humid and musty as the only window isn't open, no aircon in there, and the door is kept locked most of the time cos there are contract files in there too. normally when i go in to read up on the contracts, i'll simply switch on the lights and leave the door closed since i'm too lazy to use the rubber door stopper.


couple of weeks ago, i was in there as usual, when i heard this loud, deep, rhythmic breathing sound coming from behind me. initially i thought it was the aircon or ventilator etc, so i turned around and strained to determine the source. it stopped for a while, then started again, and i confirmed it came from inside the cupboard. totally freaked me out, and i opened the room door at once. i think it continued though. i told HL and JW about it and they were freaked out too.


i never went into that room again. until last week, HL was in there when she too, heard the breathing sounds. but she only heard it 3 times though. we told PL and she shared her sentiments about that room. apparently,  there was once they placed a cracked buddha statue into the room and some time later, the crack disappeared perfectly. dunno how true that was.


anyway, over the weekend, she and H went in and took pictures to show her fengshui master. there was a corner of the room which, no matter how PL tried, the camera refused to take a picture of. the button just wouldn't be pressed. i had goosebumps when PL told me. so now i have to carry the buddha pendant wherever i go. and yes, i still have to go into the room. which sucks.


but at least we keep the door open now. and there's more people around - we just got a new project engineer today! =) i have to agree with LP; he IS kinda cute. and much more fun than the project manager. at least he can joke and laugh.


BUT!! work still sucks. leave at 7pm, boss face still black black. sibei sian.

@ honjin again

went honjin for japanese buffet again. no wonder they say i'd do best to marry a japanese. i had bento for lunch for the past 2 days, buffet dinner today, and probably sashimi tomorrow. tsk.


pretty much had fun today, even though i thought the atmosphere was kinda weird at the beginning. i think our table got a lot of pissed looks cos we were so noisy. lols. the restaurant was totally packed today, which resulted in slower service and poorer quality as compared to the previous time. nevertheless, i satisfied my nihon craving. (i seem to have sushi craving everyday. =.=)


totally beat. i'm off to satisfy my alcohol craving now.

scorpio employee profile

got this from zhu:

scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. they are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. they keep their private life separate from work and take complete responsibility for their actions and their situation. they don't make excuses; they just take care of business and expect everyone else to do the same. those who dont, co-workers and managers, will have to endure the scorpio wrath. they don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is wrong with any given situation. and if you tread on their fire, be sure to expect retaliation. they won't take insults or opposition lying down. if you manage a scorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word and don't break any promises. scorpio is keeping track and building up some heavy resentments against you if you do. you may not even be aware of it until too late. but when scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure to know. scorpio employees will react towards those around them exactly as they are treated. when they get what they want, they will be very accepting. if you are trying to work with or motivate a scorpio co-worker, be sure to treat them respectfully and act professionally. give them challenging work that allows them to utilize their awesome self-confidence and courage.



pretty much true!

silly boy picks at his food. =.=

let's talk about sex

just kidding. let's talk about food! top 3 sinful sins!



pizza! used to love hawaiian. i could eat a whole large one on my own!



next, pasta. love both the hot creamy alfredo, and the cold refreshing mayo pasta. omg!!


and the ultimate temptation i never seem to (want to) resist, sushi!



even the rice taste yummier with wasabi. lols. maybe it's because i love eating rice with soy sauce. unhealthy i know. BUT! sushi is healthy! yay for nihon mura and cold storage. lol.


and the reason for my random outburst? i'm in a light mood today. despite it being a normal, hectic, 12-hour workday. no idea why though.


i wonder if electric shocks can zap those fats away. cos i seem to get it all the time. there's this weird thing going on. seems like my office has too much electricity. whenever we touch random stuff, we sometimes get this small electric jolt. small but it hurts. in some cases, especially when we touch metal objects, we can also hear a 'psst' sound. there was once when HL simply poked my back, and we BOTH felt the electricity. tsk. can i complain for having an unsafe working environment?


one day down, four more to go. i'm beat.

sushi is good for you

me: 有 maple prepaid 嗎?
cashier: 有。
me: 30k 的。
cashier: 哇, 最後一個了。
me: er......

how would YOU respond to that?


- - - - - - - - -


went shopping again. sushi shopping! i think i scared HL with the amount of sushi i bought. like how i always seem to scare people at sushi buffets. now what's wrong with sushi? it IS healthy. it IS low in fat/calorie. most importantly, it IS yummy! what's there not to like about sushi? hrmph.

came across this article. pity the victims.

confessions of a shopaholic

and i ain't referring to the movie. =(


met HL and JW for hightea at nihon mura dhoby (again). originally planned to eat sakae buffet, but their timings and locations are soooo restricted. wanted to take pics, but when i saw the sushi, i forgot everything. lols. had my yummy potato salad again. came across PL halfway through. she was out with her bf.


got some bad news from her though. she's probably gonna quit as well, after that screaming session with H yesterday, which shocked all of us. i know it's not her fault. hais. JW mentioned that she's probably gonna go as well, if she has to handle all PL's work. bad bad bad.


anyway, had loads of fun. these girls are freaking crazy. we all probably are. especially the laughing fits. reminded me of those me and zhu used to have in sec school. =P


went to bugis after that. actually after every shopping session, i'd tell myself not to go shopping so often since i'll always spend so much. but every time someone asks me, i'll agree. shyt lor. thankfully i don't crave for expensive branded stuff.


and yes, i bought loads of stuff again today. kill me.

i will remember you







I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories

yay -_-

just as my declining interest in f1 was reignited by hamilton's 3rd place in the opening australian grand prix last week, FIA decided to conduct more re-investigations and now he and his team has been excluded from that race. jarno trulli regained his 3rd position after they withdrawn his penalty. well done FIA! the lowered budget has already messed up the whole f1 thingy; look at the shitty cars they produced this year! it looks like their investigation systems aren't too good either. if FIA stewards happen to read this, well, YOU SUCK!!

do you believe in the underworld?




On 15th day of 8th Moon 1976 (8th September 1976), the Jade Emperor of Heaven, issued a ‘Jade Edict’ to allow deity JiGong to take a medium’s soul by the name of ‘Yang Sheng’ of the temple ‘Sheng Xian Tang’ to visit the Underworld.


After about two years from 9th September 1976 to 30th July 1978, there were together 62 journeys made to the Underworld. Each visit was recorded immediately through ‘sand writing’ to reveal the extreme sufferings and punishments in Hell. It was then compiled into a book called ‘Journeys to the Underworld’ and this book is not a religious book in any sense. It does not belittle any religion but indeed it encourages readers to continue practising religious beliefs of their own choice.


The original version was in the Chinese language and in 1982 Mr Lee Teik Chong started to translate it into English and it was completed in May 1985 for the benefit of the English reading people. The editing was done by Mr Tang Eng Teik, lecturer at the Chinese Studies Department, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


The book is published for FREE distribution and the journeys are real. It serves as a reminder to us that never to make any serious mistake in life and how to live a meaningful life. The descriptions are exactly the same as in the teachings of Tao of Heaven and with due respect to the people who had contributed to this book, I would like to include it, journey by journey in my website so that the purpose of the Jade Emperor is further disseminated through the internet for the modern world.



i don't know about you, but it all feels very fake to me.

i'm so glad it's friday tomorrow. such a hectic week! so pissed off with su again. she's a bloody director and the only HR personnel available. and yet i'm doing all her work! on top of that, she conveniently tells me, "huh what is this? i dunno what is this leh. you go find out yourself can?"  when she's been in this industry for donkey years. oh god, someone tell me what fuck use is she of?? or promote me to take her place then.



my new assistant has just resigned. (yes, after just 2 weeks.) she claimed it was too boring. JW and HL look set to go off next. plenty of tell-tale signs. i wonder if i should just follow suit and take up either that bank or that law firm offer. hmmmm...
