Have You Seen A Whale?

You might if you have yesterday's Digital Life and read my interview on "Wired Mummy". Wahhhhhhhhh okay, you know why, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (cried somemore).


Don't get me wrong, i love the article written by Yuen-C. She made me feel wonderful about myself and for once, i think i'm in love with me :) and if i can marry myself, i will promptly do so. But i honestly cannot say the same for the picture. Although everyone in the office assured me (at first) that i 'looked good' but the truth soon came out, one by one. They said the picture didn't do me justice.. Wahhhhhhhhhhhh (Cried even louder, sorry if i soak your sleeve accidentally, but don't worry, my tears are clean and in fact, they are very precious, so keep them safe somewhere and trade them for rice when the supplies go down again). They said i look prettier and of course slimmer in person (i know darlingggsss) but still, the whole Singapore saw that ugly picture...Granted, i'm not your super-slim-girl-next-door and i have horrible pictures taken by Fen and the rest but it's still nicer than the one published na...Wahhhhhhhhhhhh


When PH came for drinks with Champion later that evening, i jokingly asked them both whether can they call a certain Mr P. Daniel to arrange another shoot since they know him so well? PH promised to ask when Mr. Daniel is back from wherever he is, haha! But to be honest, taking such picture is really stressful, i feel like i have a whole load of stones in me (no wonder that added pounds to the pic, haha ;p). Kat texted me, saying i looked fabulous, more than Diana Ser. Oh com'on, i honestly don't think so and i know she was trying to soothe my wound. Kat herself looked gorgeous when she appeared on those high-life magazines and Business Times but me? i looked like a big fat whale trying to sit still, with wobbly fat fingers holding an ultra slim phone. What a perfect combination! Have you seen the 200 pound beauty korean movie? Yah, something like that. I cringe at the sight of that picture and if i have a way, i would have bought up all the papers that day! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....


Aud said it was the lens the photographer used, Chris and many others said it was the wrong angle taken from below, Lynn said it was because i was seated. But the same lens must have been used for the other two celebrities as well and they definitely must have many shots taken from different angles too. Anyway... Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..


Okay now, i'm tired from crying too much ;p. Have a good Labour Holiday tomorrow. Go have fun, eat and make merry. As for me, i shall stay home with my wild-rocket salads and plain water.

And btw, i leave you a much 'accurate' picture lest your mind kept wandering to that whale.. haha :)

Becks Leaving Do And . . .

Alright, i'm going to post some pics from Becks leaving party here, all carefully selected, naturally the naughty ones won't be shown here and unless you are in my facebook, you won't be seeing them anywhere else :)


We were naughty, to be honest. We cross-dressed him and made him walked out of the office building in a lovely pink tube dress (actually it was a skirt, we just pulled it all the way up to look like a tube dress), carefully chosen by Aud, complete with pink wig, courtesy of darling Ivy, and a lovely necklace from Mommy Al. And Becks, being the good fun sport he was, allowed all these to happen. Well, he didn't actually know, coz Aud had blind-folded him before 'changing' him. But he was game enough to let us do what ever we wanted that evening.


So if you happen to be in Shenton Way at about 7.20pm on April 8, you might have caught a glimpse of a lovely tall pink maiden, head covered in a kimage paper bag - yes, that was Becks!! Haha..!


I had it all planned well, conspiring with his two other flatmates, and the party was held in Becks' own apartment, a very hot, spacious penthouse on top of an office building at the end of Shenton Way. It was super huge, with a super big garden plus a lovely view of the City and part of the World Trade Center. No wonder girls are flocking to his pad every now and then ;p


Becks didn't know where he was taken to (although i half suspected that Joggy might have told him), but he was surprised to find himself in his own apartment after we took the blind fold off. Even if he knew way ahead where the party would be, he was an excellent actor not to have let it showed.


Although Becks was very adventurous with food, there were a few he swore off like - pig's brain soup, pizza with lotsa pineapples (he insisted that was not the way to eat pizza with) and bittergourd. Therefore, coupled with some other food, we had our own little fear factor. Dear Becks took all these in a gulp but had to wash it down later with some strong gin to kill the taste!


I won't forget that nite, a nite of fun, laughter and of course, some tears. No doubt he won't be in the same time zone as i am, but i'm sure he will be constantly terrorizing me in some ways and being in the same firm makes it easier for him to do so.


Anyway here're the pics, enjoy and hopefully, you won't ask me any question :)

"The Ultimate Bachelor Pad in Singapore"

 

Don't you think he looks kinda cute here??

(Becks's gonna roast me alive if he knows i posted his pics here.. don't tell him ok)

And today is my birthday :) and as usual, x-man is the first to send me birthday greeting. In fact, for no reason, i dreamt of him on Sunday nite. Well, i actually dreamt i kissed him without brushing my teeth (it was morning in my dream). When i woke up, i thought to myself, ermmm, i wasn't sure which was gross, kissing someone without brushing teeth or kissing him?? Haha... anyway, he's not really that bad lah, if he's a changed man, i don't mind kissing him, with or without brushing teeth!! And last nite, i dreamt of him again, no, no kissing this time, but just some cuddling.. Goodness, what was wrong with me??


Anyway, thank you to those who emailed me, sent me sweet sms, leaving me birthday greetings on my facebook and MySpace. I always feel extra special on my birthday. Champion gave me S$150 to buy snacks for tea for my bday plus gave me two bottles of his wines to share with the rest in the office. What more can i expect from a boss?? Such kind soul, ok lah, i'll be his maid my next life.

 

"Happy Birthday To Me"

 

I haven't drink them yet.. maybe i can resell it back to Champ.. :)

PS: If you leave unkind comments here on Becks, i'm gonna delete them and i promise i won't talk to you for life!

Becks

I have never cried that much after my issues with x-man was settled but few days ago, my tears had a great time falling freely and happily from my eyes which would have made the monsoon rain proud.

And all because of one man, another man, not x-man. This man has injected so much fun, laughter and joy in my life for the last two and a half years that with him gone, i suddenly feel like i have being 'divorced' the second time round. The irony is, i wasn’t even in a ‘relationship’ with him in the first place.

Becks, the first ‘ang moh’ man in my life and one i know no other ang moh can ever replace. From the world he was in previously, he blended extremely well into ours, experiencing everything without hesitation. He is game for anything. He tried durians and loved it and he can even eat more than me. I remembered when he first came to Singapore, he brought me to Top Ten in Orchard Towers to meet his friends without knowing what kind of place that was. I didn’t know too until he sent me off in a cab 15 minutes later and on the way to the taxi stand, he finally told me why. That was not a place for a 'decent' girl like me. Haha, yes, i was very decent then :)

He is a very easy going man, exceptionally well-spoken, smart and very adaptable. Becks is at ease chatting with anyone, from the cleaners, to taxi drivers to any senior executive. I’m most impressed by his linguist skills. He is good with his bahasa as well as mandarin and is fast at picking up our local dialects although i wouldn’t repeat some of the dialect words he learned from the taxi drivers.

Shane is so smitten with him that when he knows his favourite uncle is leaving for good, he cried badly. The wizard uncle who played bat and throwing ball and running around the office with him. Shane's special magician uncle. I did a 20minutes video for Becks and on his last nite in Singapore, i played for him at his farewell party. The vid was very difficult for me to make, not just piecing each clip, but going through so many old pictures, the emotion was a bit too overwhelming for me. It took 48hours to complete, leaving me completely exhausted for the few days after. But it’s all worth it. By the end of the vid, everyone had tears in their eyes. Becks is indeed a special man to many of us.

After the party, he texted me, telling me that both shane and i have such a special place in his heart and i can send Shane to him and his parents in London anytime. Little did he know, he has a special place in both our hearts too. I dunno when i’m seeing him again but if all went well, i’ll see him again in Osaka end of this year.

In London last year, he brought me and Aud to The Ivy’s for lunch, a very popular celeb-watching restaurant that needed an advance booking of at least five months ahead. He made arrangements and took us both to Sussex for a day where we enjoyed our first countryside experience out of London.

Becks, he is someone that is hard to forget.

 

I will miss you mate!

 

 

Note: He's really a great colleague and friend at work - don't anyhow think ah.. :)

Hey You!

That was two days back, now it's Wednesday morning!! Yawn... zzzz


Yippeee... I'm off tomorrow. But I'm not telling you what i'm doing :)


Btw, i'm puzzled by people's reaction when they knew i'm Malaysian. Hey i'm proud to be one k. Although my country may not be as developed as yours, and even if it's not as clean as yours nor as safe as yours, but it's still kick-ass in some ways. I grew up there.


No, i'm not gonna start some controversial entry now, i just wanna sleep. Nitey nite~~

Menghapus Jejakmu

by Peterpan

terus melangkah melupakanmu
lelah hati perhatikan sikapmu
jalan pikiran mu buat ku ragu
tak mungkin ini tetap bertahan

perlahan mimpi terasa mengganggu
ku coba untuk terus menjauh
perlahan hati ku terbelenggu
ku coba untuk lanjutkan hidup

engkau bukan lah segalaku
bukan tempat tuk hentikan langkahku
usai sudah semua berlalu
biar hujan menghapus jejakmu

terus melangkah melupakanmu
lelah hati perhatikan sikapmu
jalan pikiran mu buat ku ragu
tak mungkin ini tetap bertahan

perlahan mimpi terasa mengganggu
ku coba untuk terus menjauh
perlahan hati ku terbelenggu
ku coba untuk lanjutkan hidup

engkau bukan lah segalaku
bukan tempat tuk hentikan langkahku
usai sudah semua berlalu
biar hujan menghapus jejakmu
lepaskan segala nya

engkau bukan lah segalaku
bukan tempat tuk hentikan langkahku
usai sudah semua berlalu
biar hujan menghapus jejakmu
