More than words
Evigan just did the sweetest thing for me!
Ok, here's the thing, a couple of hours ago, I was puking and having diarrhea, along with my monthly backache, AND along with a sore throat.
I was on the brink of just giving up, collapsing and just lying there.
Was waiting for Evigan to come over to take care of me so I decided to entertain myself by calling a few random people.
"Hello, I just called to say that I love you before I die."
Well, according to doctormix; puking, having diarrhea, having a backache and a sore throat are not symptoms of death so yep...
Then, I got a call from Evigan.
He said, "Check this out." Then belted out 'I Remember You' on guitars. AND HE SANG!
Turns out, he couldn't come over cos his mum didn't let him so he decided to serenade me over the phone. =) So he did songs like, 'I Remember You', 'Heaven', 'Coma White' (Yes, abit out of the category, I know. Hehe...), 'Sweet Child O' Mine', 'Yesterday's Eyes', 'Angel', 'To Be With You', 'More Than Words' etc etc...
Oh! AND HE SANG A WESTLIFE SONG! FLYING WITHOUT WINGS!
Awwww ok I cannot find any words to describe how tremendously touched I was and still am.

Hantu came over to my house cos we wanted to fix his hard disk. Unfortunately, his hard disk was beyond repair. Well, it'll cost thousands to actually salvage the data.
So we started cooking dinner.

Dinner and the 40 year old virgin!


Friday, 28th December 2007
Met up with Evigan after work. Went to Suntec to pick up a photo that was taken from my company's Dinner N' Dance function a couple of weeks back. Here's one of them, I only got one in soft copy cos the company charges $18 for a freaking 5R photo. And you get the soft copy only if you print a hardcopy out. Oh, they charge $10 for the CD. Rip-offs...

Then we went to the Food Court to have dinner. And we cam-whored after that. [Haha I need to learn how to improve on the 'flow' of all my sentences.]




This shot was taken by Evigan; Haha he's not looking at the lens!
*We actually took more pictures that what is being shown here.
Met up with Gordon and Melisa. We went to the arcade and spent like, 45mins there.

Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Rock!
Going back to school during my lunch break to meet Agnes, Alvin and Syamira is always worth it. I wish we could go back to the first day of school, minus all the projects, tests and exams. I can't wait to meet them and Ain and Fariz next Thursday. It's going to be real fun. =)
Oh ya, Merry Belated Christmas all! Will post pictures of my presents soon!
Still owe Evigan, Papsy and Biatch their presents.
And, Dong, we've yet to exchange our presents! Will let you know as soon as I get yours!

Doggy... ='(
I dare say that I'm a rather big and soft hearted person. As sadistic as I can be, I cry real easily.
Yesterday, as I was walking home with Hantu (Thank you for sending me home.), we bumped into this stray dog as we were about to cross the road. He’s a rather huge black dog with a white snout and a white chest and beautiful eyes. Real handsome and well built too.
So I went over to touch it and he was really friendly. Did not bark, and also did not lick me unnecessarily. I couldn’t bear to leave him alone so I called my brother, Nicholas, hoping that he would know what to do. He said that he would come over and take a look at the dog.
Meanwhile, I had to make sure sure that the dog didn’t run off.
Ok, I’ll skip the nitty bitty details. The dog humped me. And I found out that that dog was the same dog that my brother was carrying Holden and running away from a couple of times cos he tried to hump Holden.
I couldn’t bear to leave the dog alone but I had to cos, yeah, my mum will freak out if she were to see another dog at home. I cried a lil cos I felt bad that the doggy had no home and no proper care.
Anyways, let's skip the sentimental part for now...
It's my dad's birthday today!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
LOVE YOU!

My Prerogative
Went for my company's Dinner N' Dance yesterday. Brought Evigan along.
It was pretty cool. There was a performance during the pre-party, there were blackjack tables, photo-taking booths, spin-the-wheel, a calligraphist, and and and A PALMIST!
So I got my palm read, but I don't think I should be so indulged in what he told me. Just gonna take note of it and like, yeah. Haha... Loads of good things were said, and they are very accurate!
Dinner was good, the host was amazingly funny, he dressed up in drag and we had all the games going on. There was a lucky draw and I won a $100 Tangs voucher! Oh! And, my table won a prize!
One of the final acts that Evigan and I watched before heading out was this guy from Disney. Apparently, he's the voice of Kermit the Frog. He did a song with Kermit over his shoulder, then did some impersonations of people like, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
My first Dinner N' Dance experience was awesome. It would have been so much better if I knew more people. Ah well.
My weakness caused you pain. I'm sorry.

The Funk Song
Met Agnes, Alvin after work yesterday. I bought some stuff while waiting for Fariz, Victor and Ain to come. We went to the Thai Restaurant at Far East to wait for them. Fariz, Victor and Ain arrived after awhile. Talked and talked and cam-whored A LOT. Had so much fun bullying Agnes (as always) Heh…
We made plans over dinner to bring our partners along when we meet up again. Really hope to see them again soon! =D
After dinner, we walked over to Mac Donalds where Alvin bought us ice cream! Woohoo… Haha… Thank you Yan Ting Jie!
Was walking to the train station to go home when I bumped into Gordon and Melisa.
Ok people, I've come up with a Christmas list!
1.Slash’s Biography [Available at Kino. Don't bother looking at Borders cos it's overpriced there.]
2.'Back Home [Westlife's latest album]
3.Season 1 – 3 House DVDs
4.A good good good Camera [An SLR preferably]
5.Money money monehhhhhhh!
You may choose to pool in your moolah together to get the present for me [If you're planning to pool in moolah for me for the Westlife album, you can't. You're supposed to get it yourself.] =P
Thank you thank you and have a merrylicious Christmas!

Sound.
You scribble a thousand words on a piece of paper
But, do you really have anything to say?
Because words can mean everything
Or nothing at all
So fuck the lyrics, let's just play the song
Skip all the fancy words, spare me the emotions
Bring the instruments to life, don't have to make i fast, don't have to make it loud
Play from the heart, don't ever stop
Start a riot, start a fight
But don't be a rebel without a cause
Don't be a puppet, don't be anyone's slave
You are your own authority, don't ever give up
This is life, it's how you play your game

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova
Cos we don't believe
That they're gonna get away from the summer
But you and I will never die
The world's still spinning round we don't know why
Why
Why
Why
Why
How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?

Come together
Hanging out with my Biatch has always been fun fun fun. Today[8th December 2007] , we went to Crazy Elephant and he bought a jug of beer. I had a few mouthfuls before I stopped. [Partly cos I wasn't in the drinking mood.] I finished up his Ribena pastilles though.
The music was great. House band was lovely. They covered Voodoo Child and Superstition, amongst other awesome songs.
All of a sudden, a waitress pops by our table and says that some guy is buying us drinks and she would like to take our orders.
"What the fuck!?"
-Biatch
In the end, I got a Screwdriver and Biatch got another mug of beer.
We were rather puzzled / amazed / curious on why that ang moh guy bought us drinks. We just lost our "free drink" virginity!!!
Three possibilities:
1) He probably thought that Hantu was a girl [which can be rather true]
2) He's gay and he's attracted to Hantu
3) He's hoping that we'll walk over to his table and you know, see how things go from there
4) He's just having fun and he's a nice guy with a little extra cash to spare
Of course, I could brainstorm and create a ga-zillion number of reasons but that would be insane so I shan't.
Anyways, in case any of you is wondering, it's NONE of the four mentioned above. =)
Awhile after we had our drinks, we saw that same guy signaling to the waitress to the table next to us.
"Arrgh! Why's he so fickle-minded? Can't he just stick to ONE table?"
Those were my initial thoughts, but that's the alcohol speaking.
So yeah, we got up to leave after the House band finished their second set [which was amazing]. And I convinced Hantu to go to the guy to thank him as we're heading out.
So we did. Shook hands and stuff.
And found out why he bought us drinks.
There's no point highlighting! =P
Nope, not gonna tell you!

TRALALA TRALALA IT'S MUNCHKIN'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!
Darren Tan was born today.
"Today lan la", that's what he might say.
He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
He's always there for me when I'm sad.
When I cry, he'll be rather speechless.
But I'm sure he'll do anything to make me stop, even if he has to wear a headdress.
I call him Munchkin, he calls me Rachelsea.
And when he imitates me, I'll giggle in glee.
When I'm down, he'll do silly things to make me laugh.
He listens and craps with me and likes to do that tiko* emoticon that is rather gaffe.
My Munchkin is a huge Man Utd fan.
He sings their songs (that follows tunes from Nursery Rhymes) like a man.
I tell him my deepest secrets most of the time.
No one but him knows about them and I know he won't trade it even for a billion dime.
We'd have mindless talks sometimes.
Throwing emoticons back and forth without meaning, but that's fine.
Darren's a really great friend to have.
How much do I love my Munchkin? You do the math.
Happy Birthday Munchkin, you're one in a zillion.
Have a great day, you're my minion.

Magnes Leekay
I am thinking of Magnes Leekay
Why am I thinking of Magnes Leekay?
Is it because Magnes Leekay broke her arm again?
Is it because Magnes Leekay swung by my tree again?
Did Magnes Leekay not shut her vent again?
Did Magnes Leekay wave her fist again?
Should I call Magnes Leekay?
Should I buy a banana for Magnes Leekay?
OH!
I know why I'm thinking of Magnes Leekay now!
Today's the day Magnes Leekay fell off a tree
Happy birthday Magnes Leekay

Okayyyy... This ends my lame installment of Magnes Leekay. Since today is her birthday, [HELLO MAGNES] I shall be nice. =)
Happy birthday Magnes Leekay. May every banana you eat give you a better swing, from tree to tree, obstacle to obstacle. You're an awesome friend, one in a million. And you always never fail to make me laugh. Here's to future teasings and laughter.
See you tomorrow Magnes. Cheers!

Today's my Homegirl's Birthday!
For all the times you cheered me up.
For all the times you held me up high.
For all the times you had my back.
For all the times you steered me back on track.
For all the times you lent me your listening ear.
For all the times you made me know that I'm appreciated.
For all the times we had lunch together.
For all the times we just sat there and talked.
For all the times we opened our hearts and souls to each other.
For all the times we would laugh together.
For all the times we would laugh at each other.
For all the times we would comfort each other.
For all the times we would reassure each other.
For all the ups and downs we've been through together.
I can truly say, "Kamal, you're my Homegirl for life!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAMAL!!!
LOVE YOUU!

Magnes Leekay; Part 2
Magnes Leekay
Magnes Leekay is a monkey
But she's not the least bit funky
(Just kidding woman)
When she laughs, we see her teeth
When she's angry, she waves her fist
But we all know what a gentle being Manges Leekay is
Which is why we like to bully her and make her pissed
(But Magnes Leekay knows that we all love her so much)
Magnes Leekay had a broken arm
Magnes Leekay should live in a farm
Magnes Leekay brings me hope
Magnes Leekay is my dope

Yeowzer!
Now, with my intern, my own Fasten Your Seatbelts!, helping to organise my family's own Christmas Party, putting together a DEAFCON Army, handling the Ticket Ambassadors for Deafcon, and not forgetting about all the posters and flyers I have to help distribute to the various schools... Times like these, an hour of alone time is a huge privilege.
Then, as always, there are times when I wished I wasn't alone and that I was spending it with people, being the little social butterfly that I am. Then again, I don't just want to spend my precious time with any random person that waltz by.
And it's you that I want to spend my time with, you and a select few others. =)
YES HANTU, you fall under the category of 'a select few others'.
Anyways, just to side track a lil, SOME STRANGE MUTHA FARK THAT I DON'T KNOW KEEPS BUYING ME OVER AS A HUMAN PET ON FACEBOOK!!! ARRGH...

Care.
Ok, let's see... First week of my intern at Cheveron International.
Went pretty good! People there are really nice and friendly. Office hours seem to pass by rather quickly although I'm hardly doing anything but watching people work. Well, that was for the first 2 days.
Had some hands on experience on the 3rd and 4th day.
And on the last day of the week, I was invited to a company lunch at Carousel. And my my my... It was awesome! However, I couldn't enjoy it much cos I was having my monthly backache. It was so bad, it ruined my appetite for even chocolate!
Went back to the office, my boss found out that I was in pain and he walked up to me and went, "Eh! I heard you're not feeling well! What're you still doing here? Go home and rest!" Everyone showered some attention on me and soon, when I reached the office, I packed up and went home, still in pain. Took the train in the end cos I figured that a cab ride was going to be no different from a train ride with this amount of pain.
Anyways, I'd like to thank my fellow colleagues for the warm reception on the first two days and for all the care and concern when I wasn't feeling well. Special shout-outs to Levi, Eguene, Arasi, Joseph, my supervisor, Peter, and the big boss of the level, Ser Sin.
