Close this chapter
I am sick. I am tired.
And it's time to close another chapter.
But...I still haven't been able to close the previous one.

Hate...
I hate it.
I hate it when we have to argue.
I hate it when we have to fight.
Everything seemed to be going fine.
I don't hate you.
I can't hate you.
I just hate myself.

Personal Demon
Second day back at Clementi Warehouse.There were more things to do yesterday compared to now.I spent my time since starting work doing nothing today,except for going to despatch and moving three files of documents to the auditor's desk.
Wednesday.The moment I stepped off the bus when I reached NP,the feeling I had was rather odd.It feels wierd to be back in school.SCC activity.Showcase was already over when I got there.Went to the canteen to meet up with Fun,Edmund,Jayson and Qiang.
Starting to feel quite alien in the club.
Just think about it,by the time I am back in school after the attachments,I would probably have zero knowledge about the new people in the club.Edmund,Jayson and Kinet would have already been in the army.Leaving me with the small pool of people who knows me and whom I know.
To be honest,I am starting to have my doubts about staying on after attachment.It's not the first time the thought of not staying on has lingered in my mind.For the last few times I had to battle with this personal demon of mine,I have been able to overcome it.
Apparently,this time round,it is back stronger than ever.But it's my own battle and no one can help much.Guess I will have to get through with it somehow.
After all,sitting in on the activities,participating in the performances,MPs and Concerts,every outing that I have been able to go to,every jamming session that I had the oppurtunity and pleasure to take part in for the past two years.Not to forget,the two years of Gala dinner which I have sat through and bid farewell to those graduating.Somehow,my turn to be in the position of those I have bid farewell to seems to be the only thing I am looking forward to.It would then truly mark the end of three years of being in the club.And it really wouldn't be too long a wait I guess.
Thanks Guo Loong for the long talk we had at KAP and Happy Belated Birthday.
My batteries are running low fast.Earlier than usual sleeping time.Woke up to a disappointment.Not going to touch on it but apologies.Whatever it may be,please be alright and may God bless you.

Destination:Taiwan
Once again,I am bored out here at Tuas.There's nothing to do for now.Everything's pretty much completed.And I am just sitting here staring at the screen of the PC.The only thing relating to work which I have done is explaining the flow of the powerpoint slides to Wei Leong.
Probably be heading to school for SCC today.
But frankly speaking,I don't even know what I am going back for.
I no longer seem to have that excitement about the arrival of Wednesday every week which I used to have.Plus some disappointments.
Anyway,enough of that,been thinking about going to Taiwan during holidays.Dad seems ok with it,even telling me that Taiwan is quite a nice country to go to.Looks to me like the green lights to go ahead and plan...lol
As usual,Mom is saying that I should only think about that in future when I have a higher pay and not with the attachment pay which I have.
Maybe I should do up a presentation to justify my 'Destination:Taiwan' plans.Considering going as a group and not crazily spending,we should be able to minimise quite a lot of spending.Anyone else interested?

Bus ride
Started my day in a rather 'wonderful' way.
Missed the company bus.Took 182 from Boon Lay into Tuas.Quite a bus ride.It's quite easy to navigate my way as I have already familarised myself with the different buildings along the way.Even though it was my first time taking a bus to work,I managed to reach without any problems...proud of this particular thing about me.As long as I can remember anything which is along the way,I know I can get to the place.
I think it's a useful skill for travelling,be it in Singapore or overseas. But it's also interesting though to just wander around...the different sights,sounds and places along the way.
For now,after going to Tiffany's blog and seeing those photographs...makes me really want to go to Taiwan.It's on my list of countries to go afterall.In fact,if I happen to be rich enough in future,I will want to set aside a period of time which I would spend going around the world.I want to go around the world and take photographs of the sights of each country.
Back to work...lolx

Two Years
Ok...I am two days late with this post.
Been so busy that I haven't found any time to blog this last few days.
Anyways,two days ago marked the birthday of this blog.15th April 2006 to now and still going...haha
So,Happy Belated Birthday to my blog.
Been here at the Tuas Warehouse since this Monday(yes...I am still here and I am blogging at work).For the past three days,already clocked 10 hours of OT(if my calculation method is right).Working on the Rates Adjustment for the major customer of this warehouse:Unilever.
Our company is actually providing Third Party Logistics services to two rival companies(P&G in Clementi and Unilever in Tuas),just shows how good the company is I guess.
Basically,both these companies handle with lots of different goods.To be more precise,Home Personal Care and Food.Like P&G does Pantene and Unilever does Sunsilk,P&G does Pringles and Unilever does Skippy(peanut butter spread) and those Knorr Cubes(solid soup stock).There are lots of other stuff...but probably would take me quite a while to list them all down.
However,the operation processes of both are quite different.In fact,coming up with this presentation slides have been quite a horror.I woke up from a nightmare about justifying the change in rates and stuff like that after the first day.Thankfully,I didn't continue to have nightmares every night.
The first checkpoint will start tomorrow when Wei Leong(the Tuas Operations Manager) presents it to Sheila(the General Manager of Toll(SIN)'s warehouse).And next Friday to Victor(one of the CEO).And hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Now,all we have to do is piece all the remaining information left,merge our slides(job split into two - Kaitlyn,tasked with leading this project as Wei Leong is new,and me) and explain to Wei Leong.
For now...just waiting.

Leave The Memories Alone
Leave The Memories Alone
So here I am with my thoughts of you
And this world I've left for me
Stoic faces when I think of you
And how I once believed
So now you call me, but you know I won't let you through
I've myself to decieve
So leave the memories alone
I don't want to see
The way it is, as to how it used to be
Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing
And I'll hold you here in my memory
So I find me in your garden now
A sad smile for the scene
And all the flowers that we planted now
Taken by the weeds
But in my minds eye, you know they still bloom for me
They stand tall there, in that summer breeze
Leave the memories alone
I don't want to see
The way it is, as to how it used to be
Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing
And I'll just hold you here in my memory
In my memory, yeah
So leave the memories alone
I don't want to see
The way it is, as to how it used to be
Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing
And I'll hold you in my memory
You'll never change
You'll never change
You'll never change
You will never changeGreat song by Fuel.It's in their album Angels and Devils.No idea if it's sold in Singapore.First heard this song in Ric Flair's Farewell Video.Love the lyrics of this song.It really expresses how someone important will stay with you in your memory even if they are going to be away from you,even if you might not see the person as often or ever again.Especially how they will never change.
Bought myself a new pair of earphones.It's great.Lolx...here's a photo of it with my iPod.Ending this post...maybe games for a while before I leave.I transfered my SNES emulator from my old PC.Now I can play games like Chrono Trigger,Final Fantasy 3,Tales of Phantasia...bored days are easier to get through with RPGs...haha

Boredom
Boredom...leads to blogging @ work.Especially since you know your supervisor is in a meeting which doesn't seem to be ending soon.And you are sitting at your desk doing up a set of workshop presentation slides about office security which is probably quite common sense to the people but nobody just bothers about it and are doing it for show for an upcoming audit.And that is the way life is.Lolx...
Well,at least doing these slides allow me to have something to do,otherwise,I think I will fall asleep.But I doubt they are going to last me to 5.30pm.UNLESS,I do them real slow.Probably will finish it asap and let my supervisor go through.In fact,this is the second time I am doing it.He commented on the first one in the morning.A few days ago,he said in his e-mail that the slides were good.Lolx...guess he changed his mind in the morning.
But frankly speaking,I prefer the one I am doing now.In fact,I was quite shocked when he said the previous one was good,cause I think it was rather messy.Think it was the way I put it across to him in my e-mail.Or maybe,he really didn't go through it the other time.
Anyways,TGIF!
Probably going to buy my electric guitar...tomorrow?Maybe,perhaps.
Three more days to 'that' day!
Back to work!

Day 1
Yea...it's the first day of life with PSP gone in my life.
Life still goes on.Even though you really wished that you wake up and losing it was just a dream,but yea,let's face the truth.And I do have better things to think about.Especially after Ed showed me this:

Really tempted to buy an electric guitar.Currently eyeing the second or third one.If that third one comes in black,it has to be that for sure!
But I guess I ought to give it a serious thought.
Let's just say,the promotion is really attractive!Haha...
Time to sleep...new idea for song.Flower of Hell or Naraku no Hana.Another melody and theme which I find interesting...haha

Free time...
Everything that happens,happens for a reason...
Well,I just lost something which I have regarded so important to me.And now that it's gone...I suddenly realise that it has taken up so much time in my life.
This 'something' is none other than my PSP.
I think it was pick pocketed(?) from my bag while I was out with Zhao and Xianz just now as Xianz is going to serve National Service soon.He's going into camp this Wednesday so we felt that we should meet up for dinner and spend some time hanging out together.
I admit that I was really pissed off about the fact that it's gone...but I guess there's really nothing much I can do.Looking on the brighter side...my camera and my iPod is still there.And maybe it's time for me to buy a new "toy"...maybe an accoustic guitar with pick up or electric guitar and an amp?
Now that it's gone...all of a sudden,there seems to be more free time.
I would say my feelings are quite mixed up now though...will need to buy myself a new mermory stick...photos from the gig last night are gone.Haven't checked but I hope I transfered those important photos into my laptop.Chances are I am going to sell my remaining UMDs away.No point keeping them...and I guess it's no point buying another PSP.
Still,I must say I don't regret meeting up with them today.It's going to be a while before we will get to see Xianz again.I truly believe that I am blessed to have friends like Zhao and Xianz.Of course,at each phase of life,you would meet different people and make more friends.The older the wine,the better the taste and true friendships are those that last.But surely I would forget about this bunch of crazy poly friends which I have now.Be it the guys in the class or the SCC gang.
I thank God or any holy being up there looking down upon this Earth for blessing me with such friends.
And now...I officially have more free time to interact with people...lolx

志明与春娇
Wow...it's my blog's 400th post.Taking a bit of risk in blogging during office hours.Supervisor's not around.The information which I require to complete the task assigned to me has not been sent to me yet.Waiting.Touching up on my other tasks on hand though.So at least I am not too bored or look too free.
Went to this gig called Show!Singapore Chinese Rock.It was held in Home Club @ The RiverWalk.There were five bands performing.The first two were not bad.It was the other three,especially the last,which were absolutely good.In fact,one of the guitarists in the last band was Ed's friend.And trust me,they were so good that I was in awe when I watched their performance.Must say that it was worth the $8.
Plus,the housepour was good...lolx.The Whiskey Coke which they served was way better than the Jack Daniel's which I drank before during chalet.I like it so much better.And if not for that,I would have had to drink Asahi.And if you didn't know me well,I DON'T like beer.I prefer alcohol...lolx
Apart from performing their originals(one band didn't perform any original though),the bands also performed cover songs(that one band performed cover songs only).Songs from F.I.R,Zhang Zheng Yue,Sun Yan Zi...and the most performed...MAYDAY!!!Everytime when I heard a song by Mayday coming up,I was darn happy.But to think that one of the bands even performed 志明与春娇,well,I was still happy but the feelings were quite mixed up.In a way,I was happy that one of Mayday's best songs(frankly speaking,all songs by Mayday...ROCKS!lolx) is performed but it is a song which sparks something in me every time when I listen to it.I swear I was taking bigger and more constant sips at my housepour during that song.
Guess I will end this post with the lyrics of 志明与春娇.Can't upload a video cause the internet @ work can't go to Youtube.Maybe I will post the MV when I get home.
It's a hokkien song but the lyrics(being in chinese,just read it in hokkien!) should be quite easy to understand.If you don't understand,can ask me!Lolx...Enjoy!
Verse:
志明真正不知要按怎
为什么爱人不愿阁再相偎
春娇已经早就无在听
讲这多其实拢总拢无卡抓
Pre-Chorus:
走到淡水的海岸两个人的爱情
已经无人看已经无人听啊
Chorus:
我跟你最好就到这
你对我已经没感觉
到这冻止你也免爱我
我跟你最好就到这
你对我已经没感觉麦阁伤心
麦阁我这爱你你不爱我
Verse:
志明心情真正有影寒
风这大你也真正拢没心肝
春娇你哪无要和我播
这出电影咱就走到这位准嘟煞
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Solo/Interval
Pre-Chorus

Giddy...Spinning
Ever since last evening,while I was on my way to school for SCC activity,I knew that I wasn't feeling well.Let's skip the details about what happened during activity.I tried my best to put on my 'Game' face...but can't help lose it.It only made me feel more unwell.
Jamming with Greg,Shao Xun,Winston and Fun was nice though.Probably one of the few best things that could have happened.
When I got home after everything,my head was seriously spinning.I bathed and went straight to bed.
Woke up this morning,continued to feel the slight spinning.
And it's coming back as I blog.
Maybe I am dying.

14 more days
For the very first time,I am blogging using my desktop at work.No worries...lunch break now.And since I eat fast,I always have quite a lot of time before 1.30pm.Probably will be back to doing the presentations again later.This one is on Office Security and Clean Desk Policy.Think it's some kind of workshop for the people in the office.And frankly speaking,I have no idea whether I am doing it correctly.But I guess it should work out.After all,the first presentation which my supervisor asked me to do was quite satisfactory.Otherwise,I doubt he would even dare ask me to do another Powerpoint Presentation for him.And also,not forgetting that it is to be presented to the management above.Maybe he has confidence in my powerpoint skills. XD
14 more days to a special occassion.Just marked my planner...with so many things to think and remember,I am getting more and more forgetful.
Time to get back to work!
