| Quite a few events have happened since I last posted here. I was still hanging around down under, was initially planning to return to sg by 1st week of Aug, but i did not book my flight nor did i pack either. Instead, time was wasted just waking up late, watching dvd series, surfing the net n aimlessly passing time, just waiting for the weekend whereby most of my friends/ex-colleagues were free and could spend time with me on weekends. I have pretty much settled all that i needed, sold as much rubbish as I could, i was more like a sitting dead duck, waiting for someone to call to buy some rubbish off me... Then came one weekend,at the end of August, where everyone was busy and I did absolutely NOTHING except to watch at least 4 movies a day. Just imagine, everyone else goes to work for 8 hours a day but i spend my time watching movies... after that weekend which i continuously watch several movies each day, and absolutely NOBODY called to purchase anything, I finally decided, I should permanently leave Perth in the next few days. I booked my flight on tuesday nite and flew out that friday nite. As soon as i got to sg, i started planning again. I couldn't unpack permanently as there was too much stuff and there was too little space... i was again living off my luggage but this time my luggage was in the living room. I started looking for jobs but in vain, nothing came up. I did not get a single response from anyone. I then decided that I should consider the 20th sept 2009 date being such a nice number... I hurried off making plans and looking the possibility of making my ROM on that day. There were several things that was involved to be legally married. I was lucky that my aunty was a solemniser and could accomodate me for anytime on 20092009, eventhough she had to do 9 other couples on that very same day. I just wanted to get the paperwork done and thought maybe my parents wouldn't be interested in rocking up since it was such a hassle for my dad to travel. Then came the issue that TT had to go to the states. I got everything ready, ie paperwork and attendance at registrar office but I had to tell everyone that its on standby, pending on if TT arrived back from the states in time. He was due to fly back at midnight on the night before and any extended trip/missing his flight/flight delays (apparantly its quite common with united airlines to have delays) would have caused the entire event to not work out. I wanted to book a venue, but obviously since I was so last minute, every single place was fully booked out. I thought it was a good thing that I didn't book a venue since if it didn't happen, the restaurant would be so pissed at me that they lost opportunity for more business. Even up till the night before, I couldn't sleep at 2am as I was so worried that TT was not back from the states yet. I called/smsed and left voice msgs... but got no replies from him. My cousin wanted to come but I didn't want too many pple to come as both the families have NEVER met. I didn't want any confusion if my cousin came and my MIL/FIL thought it was my brother. After all, I had to invite my aunty (and her family) as she was the solemniser and then my grandpa. Everything happen as planned. However, it was rather awkard as both families have not met and I did not introduce them either as my parents were late, causing the ROM ceremony to be delayed. We had to hurried off to PJ @ KeppelClub as I had made reservation for lunch. Till this day, I think both families have not been introduced... sigh... i wonder whether i should take the initiative to do something, | | |
| Here I am doing nothing. It has been a month since I am back to this place. This winter has been marvelous as this place has got central heating, I do not need to suffer from the cold as I use to. No more hiding under the covers, wrapped up like a cocoon, No more frozen cheeks, fingers and toes. Insulation + Central heating + free electricity is the best thing ever, except for the fact that I have to tolerate a few disgusting PRC housemates. When I say disgusting, I mean it. Picture this - who uses toilet paper and doesn't flush them but instead throws them into a bin which sits in the toilet for at least 2 weeks, who cooks till the rangehood is dripping of oil, who spills food while carrying it into their room and doesn't clean up the floor. Far out, I've given up in cleaning the house. My focus is now on the garden because I know nobody can dirty the garden. I told myself that this is really not right. Everyday is just passing by like that and I am doing absolutely nothing, I have no interest in DVDs really, nor in computer games, nor anything. I think i should start to learn mandarin and start to play a computer game. this boredam is driving me mad. I should be packing up and yet I am not. What the hell am I doing. I'm not focusing on anything because there is no aim for anything. This is bad, I need to find an aim in life. | | |
| In life there is always ups and downs... however, we can always look on the bright side and choose the up sides of life.... no matter how bad things may be, it can always be viewed to be good... Just abt 3 weeks back, i was quite embarass but happy... Then last week.. i just found out i got retrenched. For most pple, retrenchment is a bad, however for me, I have been waiting for a retrenchment. So I shld be happy that I got retrench. As much as it is what I want and everyone says its a blessing in disguise, but my mum thinks its a bad thing. True enough its what I want but I thought it would happen 3 months later, ie in Sept. It didn't daunt to me that it would happen so quick as we are flat out this July&August and I even struggle to find resources in August. Those poor pple left behind will be working their ass off. Oh well, now I will just have to return back to Perth and pack up my belongings. My plans were to settle in Sg and seems that fate has just made it clear it was going to happen. I was initially going to wait to be retrenched and gave myself till March 2010. But since it has happen, I don't have to wait anymore... When I think about the day I have to go back to my office to return my laptop, wireless card and settle handover, I feel quite sad, leaving behind memories of the office, the poeple that I hang out with. Some were quite sad about me being gone. I guess its a much different feel when you're away for 6 weeks and when you're depart from the company for good. Sigh, I still wonder whether this retrenchment is a good or bad thing..... | | |
| I almost forgot to blog one of the most memorable or should I say embarassing moment... I thought I should blog it here so as to jog my memory if I do forget... Thanks to TT, it was embarassing... I knew he had the ring, I was expecting him to pop the question over a nice romantic dinner or by the beach/park.. in fact, i was preparing myself to pretend to be surprised & shocked BUT he really caught me by surprise. He had previously mention that S'poreans would say "want to apply for flat?" would mean the same as "will you marry me?"... The day b4, he wanted to go checkout Punggol Point but there was no beach area there, ended up we went to Pasir Ris beach to sit by the beach, read the papers while enjoying yakult wif crimson grapes... I was thinking since we were going to a beach area, it was already rather suspecious but nothing happen.. So anyway, it was his dad's 60th and his sis had already suggested to go to Lei Gardens @ Chijmes. I was excited to go eat really coz it seems the food is really good there for such exorbitant price. I drove the family to the restaurant and got scolded by TT for stepping on it.. cars in asia are really weak for some reason..-the vios was weaker than my jazz eventhough its meant to be more powerful, must be due to being assembled in Thailand instead of Fully made in Japan... anyway, I decided to ignore him for the entire night for scolding me in the car... We had a good meal, the food was fantastic, I particularly like the shark fin dish. Service was initially poor but later on picked up after the 2nd dish.. I was waiting for all the dishes before going to the toilet as I didn't like the idea of having the food sit on the table while i was away. So I went to the toilet after finishing up all my food. I took my time in the toilet so that I could buy myself more time while I continue to ignore TT for the night. After I came out from the toilet, got back to my seat, notice that everyone is pretty much finish wif their food. Then his sis said.. must use the wet tissues, its already paid for.. very ex.. cost like $S1.50 each leh.. so then I picked up my wet tissue, in nice packaging, flip the tissue around to see where it was being made.. and then his dad said to me "look on the table".. he repeated himself a few times... and i was rather surprised coz i was wondering what was on the table.. i looked all over the round table and then after quite a while, then i saw "it" right in front of me... everyone was laughing, even TT was laughing.. it was so embarassing... TT was laughing and said that i really got a shock.. i knew i was really embarassed because i could feel it on my face ... really turning red... now come to think of it... its the wrong purpose the country encourages pple to populate... i mean if you want to get ur own flat, you have to get married quickly unless u can wait till u're 35 yo.. damn... i need to ask TT later if he's after the flat or me?... | | |
| I'm still drowned wif sorrows... from the previous blog to date.. still feel the same...I'm serious fell that i have really aged... and i'm impressed with my strengths, to move furnitures... today i must focus ... focus .. focus... | | |
