~サムねこの物語~
a dedication to the children.
Same o' work, same o' life n same o' complaints. Even
I m getting tired of my daily whinings. Gah.
Let's tink happy tots.
Rite..i m still down with the 杰伦-Fever from Saturday nite. Not that his concert reli blew mi away but his talent is dumbfoundingly impressive!!!
I wanto marry him. WOOOhhOoooo!!!
Anyway, i was looking thru the lyrics of some of his better songs n i came across dis v meaningful section:
(
Digressing: ...then again, most of his songs r jaw-droppingly nice; for eg. i can listen to 晴天 5009 times n continue to replay it for another 4869 times)
孩子们眼中的希望是什么形状
是否醒来有面包跟早餐
再喝碗面汤
农夫们烧毁土地跟村庄终于拿起枪
他却慢慢习惯放弃了抵抗
孩子们眼中的希望是什么形状
是否院子有秋千可以荡
口袋里有糖
刺刀的光被仇恨所擦亮在远方野蛮
而他却微笑着不知道慌张
It's from his 止战之殇, see? Even the title is so poignant.
I recognize talent when i c one ok! So, si-teeu-pit LHK!!! I'm NOT shallow ok!! U imbecile!!!
On the other hand, ur gf's assets r alarmingly...errr...alarming..OK! BeeeembbbbbOoo...HAA!! Now who's the shallow one?! HUH?? HUH??
Ahem.
(Digressing again: Ok..i m forced to do dis; Weiming wans mi to say "Hi"....so...errr....Hi.)
O btw Eliz, my dat pair of slippers snapped too. Yesterday. Dammit. Must b retribution for laffing at u 2 much. Dammit.
Had to limp my way/drag my broken slipper along/lug my tonne-heavy leg/leopard crawl past Orchard @ Atrium b4 i can reach P.S to get a new pair. DAMMIT. Cost mi $30. DAMMIT. I dun even like it very much. DAMMIT.
Must b those racist jokes again. Muahahaa...(inside joke, inside joke)
But lo and behold! Nothing will stop mi frm telling racist jokes! Muahahahha...NEVER!!!
Thou shalt not succumb to ur destructive prowess, Siva!! (*Doctor Evil's laff echoing in the background...Muaha...Muahaha....Muahahahahaha.....wif compliments to the turned-inside-out pinky across the lips*)
4gif mi. I'm a highly-stressed individual.
Tink happy tots....tink happy tots.
X'mas is coming!! Yipeeee! I get presents! Yipeeee!
O ooops! Time for my Monday dosage of bitchy reality TV. 2nite we get to c how geekish Shandi goes wild..EHA! Yep, it's dat entertaining Model show.
So, Ciao for now.
there's a reason y pp say the things dey said..
...and i m not afraid to repeat myslf again.
There is also a gd reason behind y i simply cannot stand pp wif no sense of urgency. I may be too
kanchiong for my own good stimes but at least i m responsible...if not overly responsible.
I was toking to a fren abt matters of the heart s usual n we bof agree dat it is alwaz better to live with somebody who has 10 small flaws, than wif somebody who has 1 big flaw.
I can tolerate ignorance, but i
cannot tolerate indifference.
Bcoz oni by being indifferent, u will continue to be ignorant.
*******************************************************
To b fair, i m a self-professed farking impatient person. I hate waiting, be it waiting for a bus or waiting for a date. So much so stimes i xpect pp around me to be equally spontaneous n eager to get things done.
When dat doesnt get materialize, i simply snap.
And i happen to noe dat's not very fair, for everybody lives by a different motto.
But i m entitled to complain, so sue mi.
*******************************************************
LN made a comment juz now saying dat i shud do PR, n i said i dun feel mentally strong enuff to take on the assortment of pp out there, especially those funny pp who hv crap for their personality.
Dat's oso 1 huge reason y i took on dis shitty job.
Oni by going thru shit, i will noe how to dodge shit nxt time.
But meanwhile, lemme work on my threshold for tolerating pp who live against my primary values of life, so dat i dun feel murderous / suicidal (it's a vice-versa thing) the nxt time i encounter those freaks again.
how to lose somebody when u nvr had him before?
No i m not feeling philosophical again. The oni feeling i hv now will probly be numbness. Inside out. Duh..oxymoronic....how do u actly FEEL numb? I alwaz ponder over dis oxymoronic shit..but seriously, u ought to witness it for urself, i.e the forlorn body attached to my head.
Y the philosophical shit den?
Obviously, i was inspired again. Dis time round, by a Long-Time Fren. (Read: an abbreviation for--He was More Than Just a Fren Long-Time ago.)
Ok la..i noe dis is my blog, so i shud probly quit the drama mama act.......dun tink i can pull it off anyway....but just tot dat the curt explicitness may bring about an "Ouch!" somewhere.
Recently, he toks to mi more often, which is weird, especially since we've got all the history crap going on. It's to the extent dat he is sharing information (unwanted on my part btw) about his new found love, a recent infatuation, wif dis sweet & demure young thing he hv just met.
But apparently, it's enuff to throw him head over heels oredi. He simply can't stop exclaiming about her.
"Ouch!"
Ok...i noe our history (read: HISTORY means PAST, no longer existing in the present, no more, nil, nada, zilch!) happened like many moons ago, in fact make dat many
blue moons ago, but his fascination wif dis gurl does make mi feel abit......insignificant.
Not dat i m still yearning for him or wot....but strangely, i do feel like i've just lost him, yet AGAIN....hmmm den, it's natural to feel a lil' bitter / sour when u c ur ex-love finds new love...rite?? rite??? RITE???? *wide-eyed*
Of coz i happened to oso be aware dat the morally correct emotion is to "feel happy for him n wish him all the best wif his new found partner n also hope dat dey can live happily ever after... juz like errr....Shrek & Fiona?"
But! ...the soreness is understandable isnt it? Especially when he didnt shower s much concern n affection on mi in comparison, wif dat bitch......ohh...! Errr...i meant...Beauty.
Well.....den again....objectively speaking, we merely shared a spark, not so much a relationship. Hence the title, "How to lose somebody when u nvr had him before?" So, wadz wif all the over-reaction n yakking!?!
Hmmm....Do u consider puppy loves s relationships? Of coz i noe puppy loves r defined s the adolescent and mere mindless attraction to the other party, but hey! U've gotto admit the feelings then were truly true?! (B4 all the scheming shit comes in dat is..)
Remember how strong ur feelings were for the boy / gurl in the nxt class or sitting nxt to u?
Haha...cute.
Well, just to end off as a morally correct person (not dat i wasnt one before...), i shall wish him all the best with uhhh.....let's just call her Fiona.
am I suay....or am i suay.....!?
I got off on a reli bad start...FUG. As if Monday on its own isnt depressing enuff.
Basically i forgot all my daily necessities when i left house. FUG.
Had to eject myslf out of my dad's car while it was travelling at 150 kmph on the highway n do a 720 deg flip to break my fall, so dat i could return home to get the forgotten stuff...o shoot...for the sake of my keys, comb, baby johnson, blotters and EZlink card, i risk being exposed of my secret identity as Agent Shalala after the effort to kip it hush-hush all dis while.
U noe all those nosey parkers on the highway who saw mi did dat stunning...err...stunt....might just dcide to write in to the press n announce to the whole world my will-not-be-secret-identity-anymore then! *Gasp!* I tink i might hv saw a flash while i was 562.74 deg thru my flip!!! Was my picture taken!?!?
Darn those technological breakthroughs.
******************************************************
Uhhh......actly the car was just downstairs when i realised i 4got to bring all those crap....and...uhh...it's....uhhh.....parked.
OK so i went home to retrieve the forgotten, only to realise i dun hv my keys wif mi so i hv to scream for my granny to open the dr. She was nowhere in sight when i climbed up the step to my window, IN MY OFFICE WEAR, n terror struck mi.
Turns out there was only 1 place she could be....dat is.....the TOILET. I called on my house fone for like 5000 times, of coz to no avail...for she is hard on her hearing n not very mobile.
I watched the clock tick away in horror, n i simply canot relish the tot of taking a cab to work for the laz time i did dat, it costed mi 16 freaking Sing Dollars...!
Wif 16 bucks, I could watch 2 movies, i could eat EIGHT big plates of vegetarian beehoon at Amoy and i could use the public toilet for 160 freakin' times!!!!!!
Of coz i stuck to the trusty SBS n SMRT la!!
Ok bcoz i hv been using my NUS EZLink pass since EZLink got implemented i hv no freakin' idea where to buy a new one....so u can imagine how freakin' silly i looked while trying to figure out how to operate the machine, just like a freakin' suaku tourist!! GAH!!!
When i stormed into the office, 20 min late, more shit happened. Candidate called to say she's down wif very bad sore throat, cant turn up for intvw n for her assignment tomoro. So i called Client, she wasnt in office yet, her colleague asked mi to call bck 1 hr later, which i did, oni to be accused of not informing her earlier n dat she was fuming.
NICE.
Mgr called, asked mi how i was doing, so i told her abt the shit n she replied wif some irrelevant details.
NICE X 2.
Ah Beng later said she could see the black cloud hovering above my head and nobody within 10 m dared to tok to mi.
The rest of my day was too insignificantly crappy to b mentioned.
******************************************************
I deliberately took a longer route home, in the company of my new toy, MuVo V200.
Not a fantastic high-end gadget, but i like it all the same.
The weather was gd n the music was gd, so i took a short walk ard the neighborhood juz to c how things hv changed n appreciate the surroundings abit. Hven done dat in a while.
My primary school is no longer there, oni debris. The flock of birds on the trees near Esso oso no longer there, quieter now. New pavilion. New condo. Played wif some neighborhood familiar cats as well.
The simple pleasures of life.
lost in thoughts.
Just a quick blog before i call it a day, before i bcome lazy again. Sometimes so many things happen in a day dat even tho i told myslf i should blog abt it, i alwaz bcome too lazy to pour out the nitty gritties all over again.
I realise i prefer to travel alone. When my colleagues leave for the day, i found out i hv a subconscience dat prevents me frm leaving wif dem even tho some of dem take the same train as mi, even if i m ready to leave n all dat. I guess I cherish privacy, coz it gifs mi ample time to self-reflect. I tink alot, well not necessarily abt pessimism, but perhaps the tinking gets a lil' too much for my own good? O well....it's hard to control wad comes into ur tots, no? 2 goods can come out of dis over-tinking phenomenonin the long-term; either i m a genius in the making (i seriously doubt it) or i'm a potential candidate for the looney house (seems more like it).
I was just enlightened a moment ago n i must blog dis moment down. It seems like age is reli not the exclusive factor to make one grow up. At face value, I may be 22, but in real, i reli feel like i'm 32...n I must say dis makes behaving n tinking like my peers abit challenging.
Looking at some of my older colleagues behave, i reli dun c how i m different frm dem. In fact, stimes i even feel dey r a childish bunch of clouders...Even Jes commented 2day dat, even tho she's older than mi by 8 yrs, she dun feel the generation gap. O dear...wadz gg on!??! Say if i reli tink like a 32, it's pretty bad coz it seems like i hv just lost my way, my way in Life dat is. Losing my way at 32??? Wun dat effectively make me a LOS-ER (literally) ey???
Anybody has a gd torch to loan??
The Good Days~
Well, the good days are over, so it's back to harsh reality again. But NVM!!! At least we stepped outta the island for a puny getaway...better than nothing? Anyway, here r some of the fotos we took in Batam.
In fact we took more fotos but 1 of the cameras which belongs to Charles got stolen. In addition, his handfone oso got pickpocketed...how suay is dat.....?

boring sunday..
I dislike Sundays. I still do. Instead of implementing a 5-day work week, i tink Mondays shud start later at noon so dat Mondays will be half days for everybody...sigh...but i so noe it's not about to happen oredi. Damn. Errmmm alternatively, how about making Wednesday an official free day for the nation??? Errrr...errr....Fridays half days????
Ok..as promised, i shall bitch about dat deserves-all-cruelty-in-all-form-whore i blogged about previously. Basically, she applied for a job so i called her in for an intvw, she came in lookg all sweet and gurlish so i tot she was alrite cept lookg a lil' lian. During the interview, she even avidly shared her past employment woes with me, like a friend wud do. After the interview i sent her info to my client (i.e. giant Japanese MNC) to try her for the post of Purchasing Coordinator. Dey wanted to c her, so i arranged for an intvw for her wif dem.
Blah blah blah...yada yada...nearing the date, i called to remind her of the intvw n she said ok. When the day finally came, she didnt turn up. After apologizing countless times to my client, i tried to track her. Of coz to no avail. 1st 2 times the line rang till it was cut to the
duuuuuuu...tone, 3rd time she ended the call after 2 rings, 4th time the fone was off n so was the 5th time. So it was quite obvious, she was out to avoid.
Altho it aint exactly my fault, n my mgr understands dat s well, she was obviously disappointed. She went over to my client's for a "Service Reconciliation" n received the bad news of my company facing the possibility of being blacklisted by dat department bcoz it's the 2nd time dis happened, all dat bcoz of my misjudgement. She even pep-talked mi. It was utterly humiliating n demoralizing.
So, frm now on, dun blame mi for being a judgemental arse nxt time we hang out n i start criticising every innocent passerby acidly. It's juz Ocupational Hazard Number 505.
