Rain Rain Go Away

It's lunch time... and its raining... wat lousy weather!!

Luckily I stepped out of the office early to 'ta pau' back. The Nonya stall which we frequent for its mee siam & mee rebus was closed today... SOLD OUT so fast due to the podcast by Mr. Brown making fun of the Prime Minister National Day Rally Speech?? Hehe... I thought its strange to have 'hum' in mee siam... was it supposed to be eaten that way?? Hmmm.....

Heard from my colleague the Prime Minister's secretary actually wrote in to the forum to say that the PM had actually meant "Laksa mai hum". That made more sense than "Mee Siam Mai Hum".

Bro came to my house around 10+ last night to fix my computer. Something's wrong... I can't seem to connect to the internet although my modem had successfully dialled in. ARGH!!! The internet is such an important tool for me at home!! How could this have happened? He said its virus... DAMN!! All the stupid spywares! We re-installed Norton Anti-Virus and ran a thorough scan on my PC... to my horror.... its 1am and the machine was still running!! Bro told me to keep the computer running till the next morning, then re-start and run the virus scan again... Yawnzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Sometimes I wonder why must technology be so advanced?? I would be happy if using a typewriter since no one can spy on my files and steal them. Just that I need to perfect my typing skill as there's no 'backspace' key on the typewriter.

Brought my "A Brazilian Sonata" cd to work today. I need soothing music to relax man!! The stupid Competitive Review for Jan-Jun 2006 is driving me CRAZY!!! Read an article in Her World (Sep 06 issue) that music is therapeutic. I shall try to relieve my nerves for today... Hopefully I don't fall asleep due to the lack of it last night...

YEAH!! Tomorrow is the day of my Japan trip!!! I've got to do some last minute packing... Nevermind, will do it after watching "LOST". Why must "My Lovely Sam Soon" be shown at the same time?? ARGH!!!!!

Rain has stopped... but I think the dark clouds are still hovering above our heads... Rain Rain Go Away....

Ready to fly ...

I'll be flying off at 11:55pm on 25 August to Osaka via Japan Airlines : )

I wonder how different the service would be compared to ANA.

Wonder if I can fall asleep soundly on the plane since its a mid-night flight... I hope I can, or else I would look super tired when I arrive in Osaka, and maybe fall asleep on some rides in Universal Studio!! Eeeeekkk.... better try to catch some sleep.... I hope its not going to be bumpy and stuffy like the ANA flight to Haneda airport when I went to Hokkaido on 7th July...

I really look forward to this trip : )

The Break Up

Went to watch "The Break Up" last night with Xueling at Great World City.

The show was quite farnie... the common issues that would spark rivalry between couples. They loved each other dearly, but, because of circumstances, they broke up... and I think the friends around them played an important part to this ending.

But I think the story came to an absurd ending... especially when the both of them suddenly met - Vince Vaughn was buying stuff from a grocery shop, which Jennifer Aniston happened to pass by. He called her, and she looked back. I was like... so DUH!!!

I loved the condo in which they stayed in. Really spacious and cool!!! Too bad they had this unnecessary quarrel which lead to their break-up. Well... things like this do happen. Especially when male & female were made very differently...

Guys tend to keep everything to themselves and they are not very good at expressing their thoughts. Women, on the other hand, always felt that they gave up a lot and gave in a lot, but don't feel appreciated.

So the moral of the story is ----- Be open about your feelings. It's good to praise someone occasionally. Don't be stingy with kind words! This is relevant to all relationships. : )

Expect The Unexpected

The executive who replaces WC left on 14 Aug...

She had a better offer. Besides, she's unhappy with the team. So I think that's good for her, to get out of here fast, and with the right opportunity.

And before you know it, I'll be flying off to JApan again!! This time from 25 Aug (11:55pm flight) to 31 Aug 06 :)

Will be visiting Osaka first. Can't wait to go to Universal Studio!!! Then, will visit Kyoto : ) Xueling will lament that because of Universal Studio, we can't visit her Osaka Castle :P Last stop would be in Tokyo, where we'll visit DisneyLand!!! YEAH!!!!

Then we'll be going on our company trip in end Oct : )

The 4 destinations are out for us to vote - Bali (surprising zero votes by today), Hanoi, Shanghai & Taipei (most popular so far, with 9 votes).

The results would be out on 28 Aug ; ) I would be holidaying in Japan by then, so uncontactable anyway. hahaha..... watever will be, will be.
