firstly, i wanna say thanks to gb and gavin.. u guys shld know what i thanked u for huh? really appreciate it =) spent yesterday and today uploading all my photos.. my webshots photo manager got well, shot. so i'm uploading the photos one by one. cant be bothered to dl the photo manager all over again.

*ben has just dumped elli for kate. elli is now talking to daphne in the apartment they share*
"You're not thinking about Ben, are you?"
"Ben? No, I haven't thought about him for ages."
To be honest, she was even boring herself now, the way she kept obsessing over Ben. It didn't matter what she was doing, where she was, who she was with, Ben was there. It wasn't even like she wanted to think about him anymore. She wanted to not think about him. She so wanted to not think about him. But he was always there. It was like she had no control over her mind. Like her mind had turned into HAL and commandeered the craft. She'd make a firm decision not to think about Ben but then HAL would say, 'I'm sorry, Dave, but we are going to think about Ben. I'm going to put these images of Ben up to the screen and you're going to watch them. Here's Ben getting dressed in the morning. Look at the clothes he's wearing. See how those pants look on him. And here's another one of Ben, lying next to you. Remember his chest? Remember?' and Elli would be turning her head away 'No, I'm over him' and HAL would persist, his monotonous voice saying, 'I'm sorry, Dave, but you're not over him until I say you're over him.'

brilliant piece of narration. "Liar, Liar" by Gabrielle Williams. In true Australian fashion. (if you read Australian books regularly, u'll get my drift)

my mind is in a big horrendous mess right now. i'm just moving blindly ahead. and i have no idea where i'm heading or what i'm heading into. i cant see no straight road ahead. so many times i have tried to justify what is taking place. just today, i must have justified the situation to myself at least 5 times while i was out. i thought i was pretty sure what i wanted and what i did not want but time and again, it just crumbled before my eyes. where has my belief gone? down the drain, as the cliche says. everytime i hear something abt it, i sink, and i have problems floating back as i try to justify what happens/happened.

i should just let go but i cant. for some strange reason, i cant. God knows how often i tell myself it is nothing wrong, what happens doesnt concern me cos it is not what i like or want in the first place. i try to justify to myself that nothing is wrong. so why do i feel like lightning strikes everytime i hear abt it?

"but this is not what i wanted. mine has to be mine only, not one that looks as though it's been giving a part of itself to everybody," she shouted into the wind. "then it shouldn't matter what it's been through, who it's with or what it's encountering." "i know! i know! but i.... i just... feel terrible" "so you do want it" "no" "but you dont want it shared" "not with her" *silence*
don't you know? dont you see? it's you. the flaw in yourself you saw through long ago. the one which brought you so many troubled times and now, u fall right back in again. you got to stop this. you got to wake up. only you can save yourself now.

and even as i end my entry, i find myself uncontrollably trying to justify to myself that it's all okayy. sometimes even i think i'm truly a horrible horrible person. i'm just so twisted. sometimes, i hate myself.

just realised i forgot to say about thursday! thurs was quite a cool day.. okayy, rather, lunch time was cool.. we had a quick and early lunch at tm food court then... we went to jean yip to cut hair! all 4 of us.. it was kinda, on the spot then we decided to go and cut hair.. sc suggested it then we all just agreed.. it's really quite shuang3.. it was sooo comfy when the person washed my hair.. and my hair stylist, patrick, was quite funny.. talked crap with me.. in the end i just decided to layer my hair.. and it felt like he like cut away so much of my hair! but later they all said that it's not much difference la.. and he asked me to go for treatment more often.. er, yeah. like i have the money.. then i asked him abt colouring my hair so he gave me his name card and ask me to go and find him if i want to highlight my hair. er, yeah.

anw, jo's hairstylist styled his hair so nicely! it's really very nice. but next day when he came into office, it's back to the usual style. sigh. sc's one is funnier. he actually looks like tan yew hui!! ohmygosh, really has a striking resemblence to tyh. or maybe it's just the hair style. but yv and i couldnt help bursting out laughing all the same. plus he looks so much younger.

today..
went sentosa with chengsi, joyce, ervelyn, licheng, aaron, william and winston.. reached palawan beach at abt 3 after some confusion.. then me and cheng just applied sun tan lotion and just lie down on the beach to tan.. the sun was very hot man.. tan until our skins a bit painful.. but it felt good tanning our backs. prob bcos we dont have the sun in our faces.. then we played ultimate frisbee.. and gosh is my stamina lousy or what.. and i just realised how much i havent been exercising.. gave up after a while cos it was really too hot.. then we went swimming.. rather, me, cheng, aaron and winston swam.. the rest stayed by the shore to watch.. initially we just floated in the sea.. on our backs with our faces to the sun.. felt so good! then we swam out to the platform.. stayed there for a while. then when we were abt to head back, i refused to jump down from the platform cos i hate having my whole head in the water. in the end, i got down from the side and hung onto the side of the platform. think the guys from another group were very amused by me.. *bLeAh* left the beach at abt 5.30 and went to shower and clean up.. and then it really rained elephants and donkeys when we were abt to leave palawan.. just as i've predicted to jo last nite.. in the end, we rushed in the heavy rain to the monorail station.. eventually reached harbourfront at abt 7+. met ling ling and went pastamania for dinner. erm, alrite shant say more. left for home at abt 9..

actually i think i didnt really get very much tanner leh.. maybe just a little bit ba.. maybe i didnt tan long enough..okayy there's always next time.. anw, tmr i wont have to wake up at 7+ liao.. can slack.. shall slack for abt 2 weeks then continue working.. and tmr, we'll have to go down to ulu pandan to interview potential facilitators. cool. then have to find one day to meet up with sc, jo and ks for dinner at southbank. and not to mention boss owes us 2 treats on top of his promotion treat. and he owes me fish soup from golden shoe. muahahaaha.. shall clear those slowly.

ritez, i'm really tired. tata. =)

end of a chapter

hihi.. well yesterday was sign off day, meaning, last day of project.. was a super hiong day.. did control testing in the morning then we went to have lunch at crystal jade again.. but this time, shy ching's treating us cos it's our last day and he just got his bonus.. actually afternoon passed by peacefully enough. i mean, it's busy but manageable. then sc started fretting about the KS test (fyi: Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test is used to see to what extent is a sample distribution behaving like a real population) and how to calculate it and all other people were fretting about inaccurate reports. in the end, we had anu, the vendor for business objects, to stay till nearing 9 just to rectify reports. at about 10+, we were thinking like, yay can sign off smoothly.......... then suz and simon came to say that test cases had problems.. the pending cases do not tally. something like that. so we all trudged down to the meeting room and simon tried to explain what was wrong. and i tell u, i predicted he will be somewhat like jack cook, what with being British and all but his voice was just.. plain boring. hypnotic. woah i could fall aslp man. but his normal voice is okayy leh.. anw, the problematic pending case had us troubled till past midnite okayy. n it was still unsolved. but we still can sign off cos it's an isolated case. i have never worked till past midnite man.. ans suz was saying it's a great farewell gift to me and yv! hahaa.. left office at about 1 with jo, kim sia, shy ching, shin yeow and yv. and sc hAd to say loudly that "yes jiahui, u're right. shin yeow is a good catch hor?" wah THANX! purposely say that in front of sy! yes he's a great catch but he's too old for me la.. grrr.. shared a cab with jo, ks and yv and reached home at abt 1.30am. ran into a huge xiao qiang at the lift some more.. lol.

today, we went to sc's baby's full month celebration at his house. there were soooo many people it was unbelievable! we reached there at abt 3 and ran into meihui and joanne at the void deck. ate some stuff then slacked around.. suz came at 4 plus and left at 5 plus.. but we (yv, jo and me) just stayed at sc's hse till late.. went to see hannah and she was just sooo cute! one thing i have to say: when yv carried hannah, her (hannah's) face was like, contorted as thou she's suffering.. but when suz or jo or me carried hannah, she looks absolutely peaceful and contented.. it was really funny. and not to mention my heart simply melts whenever i see hannah. she's the most peaceful little thing i've ever come so close to. (mental note: forget xuanle) anw, once most of the guests left, we just took over the sofa.. and i actually fell aslp.. that was how comfortable we made ourselves.. hee hee. then sc opened red wine for us.. mmm it was really good. very fragrant. had quite a fair bit.. then had raspberry ice cream.. yum! heehee. finally left sc's hse at abt 10 and went mos burger to eat. rather, the 3 of them ate and i watched.. reached home at 11 plus..

actually i have more stuff to say about working in uob but i shall do that other time.. very sleepy now. nitez.

p.s. hafta thank jo for the shoulder rub and the offer still stands.. if u wanna try a hand at foot reflexology, i can be a test case.. kidding!

was listening to jay chou at work at night yesterday and it just reminded me of the tuition days where i'd listen to jay's songs on the way home.. and i just felt like, i miss those days. as much as i moan abt tuition, it was not that bad actually. at least the company was good.. just gary chan, lilian, joycelyn, chan sijia, nicky, edwin shuai and me with lots of paper, lots of books, lots of problems and lots of moaning.. drowning in green tea, eating junk food.. and of cos, gary chan's cat.. hahaa.. can never forget the time when he carried his cat to the window to scare a dog.. the mortified looks on ling ling, lilian and huiying's faces and the absolute hilarity on sijia's and my face.. hahaa. actually come to think of it, tuition with gic helped me overcome my intense dislike and thus, abysmal results for physics.. really have to thank him.

today we left office early.. quite comical cos the people opposite us were amused at our joy jubilation at being able to leave office for once. catch is that we have to chiong reports tmr when ams and kd finally sort out their stuff.. sigh. and rumour has it that jo is going to meet potential number 5.. muahahaaha.. must grill him tmr.

i think shy ching is really very cute.. this happened yesterday while i was extracting reports from jo's terminal.. (in chinese)
sc: i really want to go somewhere quiet to sort out these test cases, it's so noisy here, i keep getting interrupted by raymond, suzanna, riz and simon.
me: okayy i help u think..... toilet? confirm can get privacy..
sc: *laughs* the handicapped toilet big enough right? and it's unisex leh, u can come with me!
me: *pretending to give the horrified look* HUH? wah boss's boss, very scandalous leh!
sc: *laughs* ya lor, i'm married liao, wait other people wu4 hui4 hor?
then whenever he got stuff to say, he MUST say it out one.. so whenever i'm at jo's terminal, he will always tell a lot of things to me.. things abt his office at raffles place, abt jo, abt raymond (sc doesn't like him), and of cos abt his wife and baby.. stressful as it is, it's always nice sitting next to him..

have finished registering for nus and ntu, apparently i have to fill in the appplication form to be a teacher because i'm applying for arts and social science and faculty of science.. what crap.. oh well.. now to compile the stuff to send to smu and of cos the application fees.. yipee =)

hihi.. back again =)

this week is supposed to be my last week at uob doing uat.. but work gets delayed yet again so it's being extended again. uh.. actually this week it's not so much the work that i remember..

wed: boss's boss had a craving for crystal jade so we went to have lunch at crystal jade.. it was just absolutely yummy =))) and it's only abt $13.50 per person. d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s. mmmm. hahaa.

thurs: thurs was so so.. ohh we went to best denki and bought ear phones. and joseph and i were attracted to the same pair of ear phones. oh well. and in the end, we did buy the same ear phones. one thing thou, i still havent open them.. somehow i just didnt find a time for it.. hahaa.

fri: was a battle at work. having a splitting headache didnt help either. come to think of it, i've been having these headaches since wed.. ks came back today to collect the rest of his files. so in lieu of our reunion, we went to swensons for lunch.. on the way back to office, we saw LOTs of people queueing for some 5566 stuff that is supposed to be available at 3pm.. our lunch ended at 2pm btw. anw, shy ching discovered some discrepancies concerning our test cases. so it's like, morning was the prelude.. after lunch, me and yv were really like fighting a battle.. meeting a 4pm deadline. but in the end, we managed to get them settled. really felt exhaused!

sat: yv and i had wanted to go shopping at bugis then go to catch a movie at night.. sat morning seems relatively peaceful so we were quite sure we will at least be able to catch a movie. but.... in the end, we worked till 10pm.. TEN on a SATURDAY! grrr.. thanks to the people at knowledge dynamics who always seem to be able to successfully screw up the reports. and they take so long to respond to errors. irritating. so we were like, keep validating reports and i kept extracting report frm BO and doing the dumb checklists for the errors. grrr. in the end, we ended up eating the walls strawberry ice cream for dinner. 3 pathetic souls eating from one huge tub of ice creams.. and OH yeah, talking about almond jelly!! turns out both joseph and i are huge fans of almond jelly while yv can only cringe at the thought of almond jelly.. muahahaaha..

on the way home, the cab driver was so funny! he has all kinds of religious pictures in his cab.. even wind chimes in the boot! and he told us how he scared an NS guy by saying he didnt hear the wind chimes.. then he started telling us some of our fortunes.. according to him, joseph is "the kind who will think he's correct n wont accept others' opinions (cos he's born on 1st jan) but since he's born in the year of the rabbit, people often make use of him" *jo nods in agreement and says we make use of him* yah right. he didnt say much abt yv thou.. and he said me being born on the 8th, is "someone who is very frank when it comes to people. when i dislike people, it's very obvious" how true! if u can see the wallpaper on my office comp, u will know why =) then he said i'm the kind who people take for granted. i can do so much stuff for them but often, i dont get acknowledged, not even "thanks". well..... to a certain extent, i think it may be true but i dont go around notice this kinda things. otherwise, life will be so bitter. but this is being made up by me being more blessed because i'm born on the 8th.. woah looks like i have to thank my mum for some excellent timing there =)

and yeah, hahaa, i was telling yv, if there's one thing normal about our boss, it's that he has great taste in music. that is, same taste as me. the alternative kind. coldplay, five for fighting, the calling.. he was playing music from his ipaq and i was like, WOAH! great taste in music.. yeah, someone who has the same good taste as me =)

erm, realised i spent lots of money on fod this week.. crystal jade on wed, swensons on fri, ajisen on sat.. not to mention the $29 ear phones.. okayy okayy i shall stop moaning.

and those 3 dudes who "escaped" to tekong.. i was rather tickled to hear that.. thanks, darren, for telling me that. and i will remember that tekong is about the size of hougang town. and i will check out the eligible bachelor stuff. and yes, the dude you wanted to punch the daylights out of. thanks thanks =)

hey! for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks, i dont have to work ot till 10pm! yay.. quite happy. actually today is a very slack day.. just go yv's blog and see her latest entry.. when she blogs, u know it's a slack day at work. had so much free time that i ended up downloading manutd wallpapers and screensavers onto the comp i'm using. *sMiLeZ* but think i'm changing the wallpaper to a photo instead. cos i couldnt really see nice man utd or takeshi kaneshiro wallpapers..

ohh today shy ching was sooo funny! so cute! hahaa he was talking to us about results and our university options then suddenly the button on his back pocket dropped off and we ended up searching all over the floor for his button.. very very comical.. and he was excitedly saying that when project end, we will go for a good meal and joseph will treat. and we were like "why joseph, not u?" then he said someone's (dOnT kNoW wHo) getting promoted soon.. hahaa then of cos must hen3 hen3 de4 qiao1 ta1 yi4 dun4.. yay!

slack day today so i ended up surfing smu's website too and my mind is made up to take accountancy. the courses offered all sound so fun.. i was actually thinking like, should i take this option or that option, and mind, i havent even apply for admission yet. hmm somehow looking at all the course options which include political science, 3rd language, psychology, sociology under General Education excites me.. yay so i wont be dreading uni life if i know the courses all sound so exciting!

anw, had to stay till 7+ in case the system is up and we can do validation.. but in the end nothing happened so we ended up looking at the address book in shy ching's email from his comp.. and then we started looking for "potentials" for jo.. with emphasis on those whose names have the word "lin" or "lyn" or those who work on 14th floor.. hee hee. think he almost pengz..

anw, did ya see the tag board? some anonymous person left a msg.. well i just wanna say i wanna know who u are. i think u're interesting and bo liao enough to say something u think is so true but yet remain anonymous.. '^_-"


------ Sunday, March 14, 2004

it's been a hectic week. for one, our dear avp shy ching is back from paternity leave. and he excitedly showed us his self-made vcd on his daughter on friday. it (the vcd) is so nice! bcos she (his daughter) is so cute! and friday after lunch, suzanna lent him her laptop and he brought us to the conference room at level 3 to watch the vcd. during office hours. do we have a funky boss's boss or what? and yup, he knows we call jospeh as "boss" so he says he's boss's boss.. so now we call him boss boss.. hah.

been working ot everyday too. difference is, the night times got better because the other testing groups have finished whatever they are doing and left to return to head office so at night, there's only me, joseph and yvonne (at our area). sy and ray are quite some distance away and out of ear shot. so we begin to talk about a lot of things at night. mainly is we ask and jo talks. bcos we are talking about jo. and his uh, life thus far. it's interesting. and the more he talks, the more my impression of him changes. he's a really nice guy, not one to escape from the past, not one to push blame away and one who's really patient by nature. anyone who's between 23 to 28 and wanna know a nice guy? this one's a good catch. hee hee. i'm serious thou. if i have a sister or an unattached cousin or something like that, i'll introduce her to jo.

okayy enough said about work. i bought five for fighting's new album on tuesday. it's good. the first 2 tracks sounds coldplay-ish to me, which is good cos i like coldplay a lot. 100 years is the best song in the album. the other tracks are pretty good too, there's a definitve five for fighting trait in them, a certain magnetic pull in the lead vocal's voice that draws me to their kind of music. a worthy buy. more worthy than justin timberlake's album. and that's saying something.

wanted to go to ntu open house yesterday but by the time we left office at about 2pm, it was too late to make our way down to ntu so me and yv decided to go shopping instead. actually i was feeling kinda guilty cos we left poor jo behind in the office with the excuse that we're going to ntu's open house. especially when he msged to "enjoy the weekend, especially for you as you've burnt yours last week".. he also burnt his. but... oh never mind. i certainly didnt think of going back to work after we realised we wouldnt make it for ntu talk. anw, shopping wasnt exactly productive considering the only thing i bought was "liar, liar" by gabrielle williams at kinokuniya. oh met gb and his friend at kino and they actually asked me and yv to play mj but i was just too tired so i didnt agree. actually i saw 2 skirts i really like at topshop. both are flare kinda skirts. one's a normal ($59) and one's a denim ($53). reeaallllly nice but just too expensive. oh duh why do i have to like topshop stuff so much? why cant it be like, pepperplus or samuel and kevin? urgh. i was so tempted to buy the $59 one..

went to smu open house today. initial plan was to go with ling, cheng, lilian and joyce. but joyce was sick, cheng had to finish her scholarship essay and ling and lilian didnt wanna g for acc and econs talk so in the end, i went with yv and emma. pardon me, but not the best of companions. lots of stuff factored in that made me kinda sian half. but got to talk to one of the accountancy students and cleared some doubts. but he kept shaking his legs and seemed rather tired. whatever.

some stuff i felt today but i wont say here. someone once told me (it's sad but i truly cant remember who) i'm always talking about happy and funny stuff to others but i never tell others when i'm feeling down. and that same someone told me it's not good to bottle up my feelings. privately, i agreed. but... sometimes it's just hard. i dont want to talk about it.


------ Sunday, March 07, 2004

hmm just realised that my class has 8 people who got 4As.. woah no wonder mr phang was so happy. i can think of 5 people who are possilbe people who got 4As (me counted) so i'm wondering who are the other 3.. someone enlighten me pls?
anw just wanna say that my intention was not to boast about my results and gloat over them.. it's just something i'm wondering la.

got called back to work today. grrrr. this is so tiring. yes la, good pay, but i'd rather rest at home on a sunday.. anw, had to do summary of all the stuff today and also to help to generate the reports with excel first, think gonna have to use business objects soon. went home with raymond and joseph.. ray was telling me to apply for all the scholarships i'm interested in but to think what are those scholarships that i'm really interested in. shall consider carefully. he always speaks sense. of cos rite, he's prob 40+ la.

nth much.. promised to look for a nice ringtone for jo. his ringtone by that ah beng boyband shin is getting on my nerves. grrr.


------ Saturday, March 06, 2004

nothing much today.. dragged myself to work.. used "dragged" cos i was dead tired.. not that i dread the work.. uhm did yet mre excel spreadsheets today.. up till date, i've learnt to use "countif", "counta", "vlookup", "sumif", "if" and "concatenate".. everytime i see joseph using a new function, i'll keep asking until he teaches me what it does.. now i dont even have to ask, he will just explain the moment i'm about to open my mouth.. today i get to work more closely with suzanna and rizwan.. their australian accents are pretty heavy too. and simon too. and yesterday i was saying simon is quite cute and so tall.. today he turned up in jeans at jo's desk and i'm like "hMMMM".. until jo say i'm crazy.. hahaa. serious but he's about 6.5 points.. plus height will be 7.5. if wears suit... 9.5! woah. hahaa there i go again.

left office at 6+pm.. like a normal workday rite? sigh. took train home.. all i wanted was to go home.. on the train, we saw these 2 backpackers.. ahh my dream of backpacking across NZ.. their backpacks were like, HUGE!!

anw, mum and dad offered to pay for something i really want to buy in lieu of my results.. havent thought of anything yet.. am thinking of maybe asking them to help pay part of my travel fees if i decide to go holidaying.. joyce, cruise???? heh heh.. or else let's just head off to a tropical beach and sip cocktail by the sea with g2000 mannequin's build-like guys to ogle at? hahaaha..

anw, man utd beat fulham 2-1 in the FA Cup quarter finals.. that's very good news. esp since our defence is pathethically depleted. rio ferdinand suspended, gary neville suspended, quinton fortune and mikael silvestre injured.. woah. today's linesup was (from left to right for both defence and midfield): howard; o' shea, keane, brown, p neville; ronaldo, scholes, butt, fletcher; giggs; van nistelrooy. keano in defence with brown? desperate times calls for desperate measures.. oh well.

speaking of man utd, i changed the wall paper on jo's terminal (which i'm using to generate all those excel stuff cos all the info is on his hard disk and thwy amount to a few GB) to man utd's dream team (sir alex's era) as voted by readers of manutd.com.. there's peter schmeichel as gk; mikael silvestre, jaap stam, gary pallister and gary neville in defence; ryan giggs, paul scholes, roy keane and david beckham in midfield; and eric cantona and ruud van nistelrooy in attack. w-O-a-H what a lethal linesup! hee hee. ad guess what? jo knows who pallister is.. i'm surprised. i'd love a wallpaper of man utd's all-time dream team thou.

righto, thinking of writing a letter to 4B.. chow if u're reading, help me k. thanx.

A Levels results release

didnt have to work today.. thankfully both jo and ks are very understanding people and they let us take the day off.. but have to work on sat and even sun if raymond requires it thou..

reached vj at abt 1.30.. slacked around, talked to people.. even finally saw tim's gf.. saw kevin who looks like a jap anime character.. but not the cute kind '-_-" then went to the hall at 2+.. didnt really listen to mrs chan's talk.. it's automatic filtering.. hahaa. the guys were crowding aroung mr phang's area and the queue took very long to clear.. the longer i waited, the more nervous i felt.. got my results at abt 3.15 thereabouts.. got 4As and B3 for gp.. which is excellent results i guess.. exceeded my expectations.. really. cos for phy i didnt manage to finish data analysis. my answers for econs drq different from other ppl's.. etc. i was only confident of A for maths.. but.... things turned out well i guess.. got a shock when i heard that 70+% of people got distinction for chem.. woah must be some serious moderation. considering that chem r is always packed.. hahaa. and mr phang tried to scare me k..

him: so jiahui, how many As do u wish to get?
me: huh uh 3 As lor.. that's what everyone hope for right? if i get 3 As, i will be contented.
him: *strict face* i cannot give u 3As....
me: *silently thinking "OH NO"*
him: .... but i can give u 4.. congratulations.
i was totally stunned.

anw, mr phang said we are his jiao1 ao4.. i felt so touched to hear him say that.. he said us being his first ct class, we are setting a very good example for his ct classes to come (watch out, 04S15!).. think our class, 02S64 has quite some people with 4As.. and he said out class is one of the top S6 classes. think top should be 02S65 la.. darren, correct or not? anw, he said we did him proud and really showed good attitude and determination in striving for our results..

well what can i say? it's possible because we have such a great civics tutor who cares so much for us not ony academically, but also care for our mental and psychological growth too. i can never thank him enough. after we got our results, i tried to express in words my gratitude for his teaching but i just couldnt find the words to describe my feelings.. all i managed to do is to shake his hand for a very long time and kept repeating "mr phang, thank you very very much".. think i repeated that 4 or 5 times.. it's just.. he does so many things for us, i cant thank him enough. he's the best form teacher i ever had in 12 years of schooling in singapore..

after that, we tried to find ms wong to thank her for pushing us to do well in chem but she's already left.. so went to look for yv instead.. then we left vj and headed to town with the intention to eat.. but then joseph really meant what he said about treating us to sizzler's today.. so we went to far east instead to shop while waiting for him to knock off.. but ended up sitting in long john silver looking at yrbook.. went to hmv to check out five for fighting's album, ran into alexis, hongyi and edwin outside heeren. oh did i mention ed looks cute (as in, coochy coochy cute) with his army hairdo.. hahaa.. it's great to see him again.. havent seen him since prom i think. hahaa.
then went down to suntec sizzler's for dinner.. actually we intended to treat jo la to thank him for giving us the day off and being such a great BOSS but in the end, he just took out his mastercard and signed the bill. woah. then he looked and ooh-aahed at our yrbook.. hah.

took cab home, guess that dude will claim the cab fare from company again. hahaa.

sleepy sia.. tmr still hafta work. and hope everyone's contented with their As results. nitez.

went to eat at kfc with a whole grp of people.. 2 gals (me and yv) and 6 guys.. uhm, joseph, kim sia, eric, raymond, sai cheong and shin yeow.. they just ordered a lot of stuff and shin yeow treated us.. then when we returned to the office, eric and raymond said to bring us to the server room.. but it's a high security place so we better dont act so mountain tortoise.. hahaa. the server room is quite cool la.. just lots and lots of comps in huge racks.. also dont really know how to describe it.. all those stuff actually run the bank's testing system.. woah. and i got my own user account into uob's lan.. cos jo the pig's username always has problems.. it's kinda cool cos i also have my own outlook account then i can communicate directly to sai cheong and raymond when i have stuff to ask for their help.. uh worked till 10pm on tues..
