Tuesday, September 25, 2007Finally a day, which satisfied
Well finally a day where I actually had work to do the WHOLE day. No matter how drudgingly boring it was, it actually felt good because I actually DID something today. In a few weeks school will start and I will CERTAINLY miss the faces at Compliance @ aviva. I'm going to miss the idle banter when I leave. I love listening to Jaya, Damon and Sis talk about TOTALLY random stuffs.
Off from work and to my daily thoughts
Well the dream didn't continue so I guess I'll never know the real events of it I guess.
I spent a whole lot of time just thinking about it. Why her?
Of all people and not even a person that I would usually even think of. It just makes me wonder.
The whole idea is absolutely absurd and if I know it is absurd she'd probably think the same way. Yet if she ever knew it would be even more disastrous then any of those I worried about before. I just can't explain it....
The thing is that nobody knows about this and THANK GOD it will stay this way for I have no intention of telling a soul about this for sheer embarrassment. Just as long as the status quo is kept the same I suppose this thing will pass me by.
The take over...the sweeping insensitivity.....of this....
And back from the lapse.....
I really have no idea what to think now...ah well maybe I should just be content at the mere passing of each day. I have fine friends and a nice life....
O well Dad is taking bro and I to the Larry Carlton concert this Sunday. Man I can't wait...
9/25/2007 11:16:00 pm
When I dreamt up the absurd....
In the depths of my brain, the little neurotransmitters worked their magic and created an illusion known as a dream as I slumbered in my nice cosy, cold room.
It was raining...I was with a group of friends and this group was of a mixed group and had people from all areas of my life in it. Suddenly in memorandum of my reading of the book on body language, I noticed one of the people in the group seemed to be mirroring me. Watching it happen I wondered if it was real. Of course unless you're thick headed or your brain is just for mere decorative purposes (no harm intended), you'd obviously know why it mattered. Yes, it was of course a girl. This girl whom I shall not name was previously featured in a previous dream I had many moons ago.
In that dream I well yeah those who read would remember, but this time how could it be such that it was that same person again?
When i woke up i realized it was already 7.30am and wanting to know more i tried to fall asleep for it to continue but it didn't and I was awakened at 8am sharp by Gaya to which my brain shouted at me..."GET YOUR ASS UP, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR WORK!"
I made a 10 second sandwich, dropped my phone (NOOOOO!!!) on the kitchen floor and scrambled to get it and kicked the kitchen stool (plastic) out of the way and bustled out the door with my laptop in my bag and sandwich in hand. I pulled on my black shoes and started off for the elevator. I ate part of that 10 second sandwich on the way down where I realise...Che Che had made me another sandwich (Tuna) for breakfast thinking I had none , though a nice gesture it obviously meant i had to eat more than I had to.
Fast forward to the office.
Well I had no work and I finished the daily runs and Kelvin called me into his office to look at a dollardex report and I ran searches on it and TRIED to do some of the AML reviewing procedures but without prior advising, I could not process none but two clients.
I spent the next two hours looking through the old floppies and marking out the contents. Che Che and I went for lunch at BK where we got free oreo bars. (4 of them), I gave one to Kelvin, one to Damon and the other to Jaya. Jaya gave hers back as she isn't a fan of wafer biscuits.
After finishing my work with the floppies I had so much free time ( 4 hours), i read Wikipedia on many things. From Loony tunes, to the pulse rifle and smart gun, to Aliens vs Predator to etc etc.
At 6 I left and went to meet Josh on the train to school. I got on the earlier one due to bad communication in the tunnels but eventually i got off and waited for Josh's train. When we got to school, Belinda told me I was to sort out the flutes and do a stock take. Which Belinda, Karmen and myself did together.
Most of the time was spent doing idly nothing. I got Belinda to type out the list into a spreadsheet and gave her my password to my laptop, I went off with Gabriel to get the orange juice done. By the time i returned Belinda had started typing but had not figured out how to activate the touch pad. I told her "F9" , she hit the F9 key a few times and later told me, I can't see your mouse leh!. Then i told her...you need the FUNCTION key hahaha...
Well after we finally finished the stock taking and the recordings we sat down for some dinner. Fast forward.
Left with Belinda after Karmen left at 10, we left at 10.30. She took 61 down to the Shell station thinking that 52 didn't stop there (Au contraire ) regardless when i got on the 52 I later saw her at the shell station.
Well that's technically all for the day.
Back to the dream, I want to see if it continues and I'll try to make it happen again so I can grasp the sequence of events more firmly. Funny though, I finally understand the role that person played in both my dreams. She satisfied the sober heart which had lost the crystal dream. When i first dreamt of her, I wondered what was her role in my life and how little she meant to me at that point of time. Now I'm really wondering, why is it her?
Is it because of a feeling I might have accidentally suppressed?
A reaction to get over what happened previously?
To prevent the past from reoccurring?
I myself don't know the answer but all I know is that, it being all a dream. Is unlikely to come true. Though dreams take into mind the conditions of which the world places the situation. Could it be a sign?
Disturbing.....very disturbing.....

Sunday, September 23, 2007How it’s been
Well things have certainly flown by. I got most of my work done so early this week that I had nothing to do by Friday and what more to do then pick up my copy of WORLD AT CONFLICT (OMG BBQ !!@!$@$!@!@). Its certainly one of the most fun titles I've picked up in a while. Its got a great story line and interesting game play. Nothing much has happened on my side. It seems almost senseless to blog about anything now because its just the usual every weekend you know?
So yeah. Apart from the fact i went for dinner with Aloysius and Wei Kit at Beauty world plaza and later went down to Thomson Plaza with Aloy to kachau Gabriel and then to run into Aaron from church. Apparently, thats the only "exciting" thing that has happened this week. Yeah....o well off again ..maybe for more WIC or some sleep perhaps. Do do do

Tuesday, September 18, 2007A day at the office
Well as I'm waiting for Damon to come back, I decided to do some off the record blogging. Well today started doing new stuff, strictly confidential so can't say.
I checked out my new time table. Guess we're going to be seeing more of Dr Eddie Ong...:X
I guess we (the usual gang) are going to be in for some "fun".
He's taking us for OPC like O_O.
Well the whole week i've been doing things past lunch time and i can't remember the last time i went OUT of the office to eat. Hmm...
Sunday felt like a day that I've not had in a while. Music wise it was not the most fun day. We at Swensen's and we went through most of the mass pieces and other stuff.
John wants to do recordings of all the wedding songs we intend to play for weddings in the future. So we better brush up our acts and get ourselves together. Time to send out them emails again eh?
Played "March of the Meistersingers" with Joven. Its an odd piece I've not heard before but it's got a nice ring to it. In the future I can ask him for more pieces to play with the section at school. (You girls and guys hear that? MORE scores!) I suppose it'll be good for learning to stick together. More importantly i want to improve tone and intonation of everyone who needs it in the section among the year 1s at least, yes more importantly I want to have a good tone and playing technique. We are never good enough are we?
Well I'm gonna get back to work...

Monday, September 17, 2007Updating
Well Saturday's practice was ....well swell.....small in almost every section. Had lunch with Kenneth Koh before that. Had dinner with Aloy, Josh and Kenneth the day before at Carl's Jr at Marina Square after work. Had a fun time.
Well I went to SLS with Kevin afterwards, i went to meet him first at Bugis MRT but I overslept and ended up at kallang and had to retake the train back. We did some good research and looked at some stuff. All in all my efforts were well paid. Somehow I feel that Kevin is just the person that i can talk to about problems of the 3rd kind. He seems more ready to listen then anyone else apparently. Hell he offers his "professional" advice on how to hook one up. Supposedly anyway.
Its been a while since i've heard from so many former friends. I hate to say but i miss the boys and girls I used to know. Even those who were well...fked up to begin with. Sigh...the days, the days!..
I got lousy GPA of 2.8 ..*@#*@!#*@!#

Thursday, September 13, 2007Earth quakes of a smaller scale
Wow, so much for the tremors from the Sumatra earth quakes. At the centre of impact in Singapore, particularly at Raffles Place, I didn't feel anything at all. There was barely a shake, let alone a quiver. All was still for me. FOR ME that is. Some idiot made an announcement saying, the building is being checked for structural damage, do not panic. 5 hours later, another announcement, the building has been declared safe, you may not return to work. O and what have we been doing for the past 5 hours?
Retarded ain't it?b
I've been doing crap work for the past few days, yesterday slack, today typing che che's documents. Boring! I want to do more brain draining tasks.
Well apparently since , i do have viewership which i DON"T know about. I guess this is not the best place to recite or recount the more subtle things in my life here. Maybe somewhere else perhaps. Well gotta go get something to eat, band in 45 mins. This is just sad only two members at dinner now. Karmen and Mitchel. I do hope nothing bad happens today. Like absurd tuning or something...
*Note: Not that I haven't gotten over it, the thoughts just flood back when theres too much "free space" running on THIS guy's head computer. If you know what I mean. Don't misunderstand me.*

Wednesday, September 12, 2007Not a day goes by
That i don't wonder why – Rick Price
Well today at the office was your average day i must say. Except for the fact I received and made many smses and calls.
After work i went to J8 for dinner with Kor Bob and Che Che.
There she be....(eys ti asw sism ehcalr nceh) <- LOOK! ALFRED MORE PUZZLES :X
Suddenly its one of those moments where time stood still for just a brief moment and you go wtf and time suddenly goes back to normal mode and it just pasts.
Well had wanton mee for dinner and Che Che decided she wanted to kill some cash so we spent 40$ TRYING to finish house of the dead 4....which surprisingly took up alot of cash. Different from when i played with Gary though.
Well stay tuned for a proper update soon. When i feel like it...

Tuesday, September 11, 2007It’s been a long time
Soon it's going to be 7 months since it happened. Yeah that..for those who are not so well versed look at it this way. On September 14th Ngee Ann poly will release the student's results. Minus off 7 months from that date. It brings you to the date of which my life took a turn down a path that although rocky made a change for the better in my life.
I remember that day, few days before Christmas, the day after Christmas...that lunch I had with .....that fine day a few days after i came back from Melbourne. Sigh....If you're reading this , don't pity me, its simply for the better. *You know who you are*
Then the crystal dream just shattered....
How painful it was yes....but I know your decision is for the best. It was for the better of both of us. Sigh....now...Jo if you happen to read this..don't think of going to her to say anything alright?
Just that faces and places will never replace....(erh sa ni lehcar nehc)
Time will heal all wounds i suppose, but somehow the gap between now and then although wide is not yet wide enough, or maybe the lack of people thereof that can even compare to ....
Ah well...   Â
Almost 7 months anyway....
-------------------------
Â
Well Work has been coming along nicely. I finished the PEP scans and moved on to the monthly runs. I had nasi lemak for lunch. I'm trying to cut back on my expenses see. Hopefully i can do what i can to build up my savings again before the next term. Well I'm also back to listening to gold 90 daily. I heard 6 songs (oldies of course) that I want to add to my media library. Listening to the radio is useful for boosting ones knowledge of modern music these days. Well I think thats enough for one night..

Monday, September 10, 2007Welly wello well
Turns out I missed mass today, because brother dearest used the alarm clock to wake up to report to his camp leaving me essentially with no alarm to wake up for mass....thus my absence.
I spent most of the day otherwise enjoying myself. Had saxophone lesson with Mr Steven and we did a few duets today to form a new post exam retinue. I particularly enjoyed contraflow and rondo. They are a jazz and classical duet for Eb alto saxophones respectively. Real nice, I love the harmonising in Contraflow and the feel of Rondo. Just gets me going.
After class i went for lunch with Mum at Miss Clarity cafe. We had a tad bit too much to eat and we were technically bursting while we walked to Thomson plaza. I was in no real mood to shop, being tired beyond fubar and feeling too damn full, you could say i was abit of a show spoiler.
The rest of the day has nothing interesting to blog about.
O well time to sleep work in the morning...

Saturday, September 08, 2007Day to day
Well, life is as usual with work, I enjoyed today's workshop quite alot. Ke Xin you ask me blog more about my daily life...this IS my life lol..I know its boring haha.
The same people the same faces over and over again each week haha, seriously I need to settle the problems of the 3rd kind. One fine day I should actually try....
O well haha I feel like shooting some digital characters. Ciao

Thursday, September 06, 2007Work work
Well Works getting to what it should be. My desk comp is almost fully set up and soon i'll have acess to AS400 as well. That should make my job at work alot easier. Haha, work is great so far. After I moved in with the rest of compliance into the fishtank room, I feel that while there is less privacy it feels more homely to be able to talk to colleagues. Especially people like Daemen my supervisor who is only about a month experienced in aviva but experienced through other companies. It pays to have a young fellow around to talk to haha. O well its late, work, sectionals and band. Long day ahead. Good night!

Tuesday, September 04, 2007Blogging from work
Ey thar yall!
My desk computer at the office still isn't working so I guess i had to find one source to the net yes?
The first day of work was kinda boring...no desk computer, literally no work.
Why?
IT division was really busy and couldn't sort out my credentials for the PC
SO technically yes I slacked and was paid $63 for doing so.
Today its equally the same except i have internet access thru my phone which i connected to my laptop thus giving me a short time frame of internet usage. Very short time frame actually. Well anyway as GPRS is expensive I shall use it only when i need to blog or feel like blogging since I don't have access here. Back to stoning ...

Sunday, September 02, 2007The sleepless night....
Well after a good concert by NTU which although at times sounded a tad bit robotic, I enjoyed myself especially at Noah's ark. So grand, so touching, so inspiring. Sigh. I ended up at Joshua's place with Aloysius and Gary. We played abit of WII , and we were talking about wiitarded stuff haha. We played most of the night away as expected so not one of us got any sleep. Now here i am at the choir room typing this entry while everyone else is at breakfast. Cause i just simply don't wanna eat. Sigh I don't feel myself. Bah...
