REBECCA'S 21ST BIRTHDAY PARTY - DAY 2
woke up & we had breakfast from mac!
cheers! heex
after which, we went escape theme park
this was my second time there only
(the first time was 3 years ago?)
we started with a spinnin' kite ride,
then a bumpy mini roller-coaster train ride,
the mini ferris wheel,
the pirate ship,
the spinnin' cup on a spinnin' giant disc,
& our favourite - wet 'n' wild (AGAIN!)
i remembered i loved it the first time i came too
hoho
=P
we then went back to the chalet
& prepared for the evenin'!
decorated the room a little more,
bathed, changed & wore our costumes
i was the PUMPKIN for the night, wahaha
imagine a 22 year old wearin' a costume that was meant for toddlers?
haha
the birthday girl was a kind-hearted witch (she claimed),
Qiuyi was a black cat,
& Min Min was a black widow (very convincin'!)
there was a buffet on top of bbq
& there were LOADS of people who slowly streamed in
my god.
there were about 60 over people (juz an estimation) who came?
played a few rounds of daidee before goin' to sleep
& i really suck at it!
had so much chivas mixed with sprite juz cos i kept losin'
oh man
haha
bec with the balloons! (credits to Anvia for pumpin' them!)
 the buffet laid outside our room
oOoOoOo..
with the green witch - Qiuyi, Min Min, bec, me
 with the tin woman!
the pretty, fruity birthday cake!
 the pretty birthday girl with the cake!
another cake! from Yongmin & Huixian last night
bec with her mum
 the witch & the pumpkin
colleagues from J.D. Power!

REBECCA'S 21ST BIRTHDAY PARTY - DAY 1
on leave today!
wahaha
& it's all for Rebecca's 21st birthday party cum halloween party this weekend!
=)
halloween-themed chalet! heex.
met up with Anvia, Qiuyi & the birthday-eve girl, Rebecca at jurong east
& we took the train all way to tampines
where we, as usual for every chalet, grabbed the remainin' stuff we needed for the bbq from tampines mall
then made our way to costa sands resort downtown east by cab
checked into our halloween-decorated room
hoho
there were black hairy spiders (one of them was even single-eyed), rubbery bats, spider webs ALL OVER (cotton la), gross posters, pumpkin basket, etc.
interestin', haha!
(luckily bec made me insist on gettin' the decorations, cos we were initially not gettin' them)
we wanted to go to the escape theme park in the afternoon
but it would only open at 7pm!
boo.
so we had a change of plans - decided to go cyclin' this afternoon instead of tomorrow
& to go escape tomorrow
Adeline came at this time too
(after we had kfc)
& we went to have ben & jerry's!
Adeline & Anvia didn't cycle so only Qiuyi, bec & me did
after cyclin', we went back to start the bbq
bec's mum & an uncle were there already
her mum is so friendly la!
Yongmin & Huixian came for tonight's bbq too
& we had a good time chattin'
at almost midnight, Min Min reached
with a mango cake that she baked! woo.
but it was really hilarious -
we wanted to give bec a surprise
by Min Min appearin' with the cake out of nowhere
while we were hidin' behind a wall, lightin' the candles
some strangers from another chalet room offered to help us plan the surprise too
haha
they took the cake, then a guy went over to look for bec
bec was confused of cos
a big group of them then came, dressed with scary masks & took photos with bec
so weird la, none of us knew any of them
after this strange encounter, we went back to the room
where bec opened her gifts that she'd received so far
Yongmin, Huixian, Min Min then left
leavin' Adeline, Anvia, Qiuyi, bec & me for the night!
we played a few rounds of uno before headin' to bed!

went to town with Vivi!
had ajisen ramen at 4pm+
which was our lunch/dinner, haha
caught world trade center too
the 911 event that happened 5 years ago
it was based on the true accounts of 2 survivors - Will Jimeno & John McLoughlin
kidda disturbin'
but really amazin'
remember wednesday's incident - a train hit a man at chinese garden station?
Rebecca was on THAT train & what's more - in the FIRST cabin!
she said she felt the train went over somethin'
(she even thought one of the wheels had fallen off, ha!)
but no one had any idea what was it
the train then ceased service & she had to take a bus home instead
it was only much later that she learnt that it was a MAN that the train had run over
OMG. OMG.
why another train accident?
i wasn't in singapore durin' national day this year
& i won't be around again, durin' the comin' christmas

there is somethin' that i
really really really really really really really really really
REEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYY..

people who lean on grab poles in the MRT!
GRRRR.
sometimes i'll purposely stick my finger (with the longest, sharpest nail) out while holdin' on to the pole
so that when they, for a moment, lift their nua bodies off the pole
but lean back again.. *OUCH*
muahaha.
not my fault!
i have the right to hold on to the pole!
& is it wrong to have the habit of stickin' one finger out? =P
woo la la
i OT-ed again

yeah.. i do that too.. fingernail no fingernail, i'll poke one finger out (guess which one.......) if they still idiot and lean against the pole (and my hand) then i'll either wriggle wriggle my fingers.. or pluck my hand out hard and then stare at them when they look

MONDAY. HAZE.
月光下的你沉默而孤单
挺直的脊梁和瘦削的肩膀
眼里的迷惘
影子的苍凉
夜雾 茫茫
可以对着你一整个晚上
什么都不说数着呼吸幻想
想着真实的你 到底怎样
怎么坚强
但爱 轻悄悄的 追来的不露痕迹
化成一件外衣
披上眼前的你 我思念到了底
就一直逗留在你心里
因为我遇见你像一场虚拟的游戏
我认识你也只是网路上一段讯息
你若不在 我的脑海
就一片空白
因为我不停猜想你的心思你的脸
模拟着和你见面走在一起的画面
我会等待 你能接受
这么爱
oh man,
i'm an OT-freak!
worked till 11pm again
doin' non-urgent stuff
WHY?
don't know.
no point goin' home early anyway
this haze has worsened
i don't care -

took some time to get out & find our way to the bus interchange
took the bus to sentosa!
we had a short kayakin' session
then borrowed a volleyball to play by the beach
we then joined some people to play 2 matches of beach volleyball!
wahaha, i could hardly play

& thanks to those new friends we made (while playin' volleyball)

are you not assertive or are you juz being nice?
are you lacking self-confidence or are you juz being modest?
are you not having your own stand or are you juz easy-going?
are you lazy or are you planning for something bigger?
are you boring or are you juz being loyal?
are you stingy or are you juz being spendthrift?
are you trying to impress or are you juz being diligent?

MONDAY.
第一次
当你看着我
我没有开口 已被你猜透
还是没把握
还是没有符合 你的要求
是我自己想得太多
还是你也在闪躲
如果真的选择是我
我鼓起勇气去接受
不知不觉让视线开始闪烁
喔 第一次我
说爱你的时候
呼吸难过 心不停地颤抖
喔 第一次我
牵起你的双手
失去方向 不知该往那儿走
那是一起相爱的理由
那是一起厮守
喔 第一次吻
你深深的酒涡
想要清醒却冲昏了头
喔 第一次你
躺在我的胸口
二十四小时没有分开过
那是第一次知道 天长地久
感觉你属于我
感觉你的眼眸
第一次就决定 决不会错
quite a smooth day at work
whew
productive too! =)
你知道吗 爱你并不容易

HAZY.
went east coast park with Seok Chuan, Vivi, Meishi!
but only Seok Chuan & i cycled
the other two jogged + roller-bladed
the park was rather deserted, thanks to the haze!
guess not many were as stupid as us to cycle in such a hazy day
wahaha
no falls/ injuries this time!
whoops. =xX
had an early dinner at mac, heex
then took a cab down to town
(too nua to take any other transport)
Seok Chuan then left to meet her friends
the 3 of us then walked around town
& finally watched a dumb horror movie - stay alive at cathay cineplex
it was my first time catchin' a movie at this theatre
wasn't much of a difference from other cinemas i muz say
the show was forgettable
not exactly VERY scary, but half the time, Meishi buried her face into my shoulder
hahah. =xX
bumped into Yongmin & Huixian with their friends!
hoho
Vivi finally saw Yongmin face-to-face!!! haha
we headed to sakae sushi @ the atrium for supper!
i haven't touched sushi ever since i came back from tokyo ok
but it was near last order, so we didn't have much anyway

J.D. POWER COMPANY EVENT!
the past 2 days were merely WORK & nothin' else
decided not to blog on them
but today was kidda different
it's a friday,
but the entire J.D. Power didn't have to work!
(err..actually not all, some managers still worked)
anyway, we went on an EXPEDITION!!!
(so-called)
we gathered at the bus-stop in front of fullerton hotel
early in the mornin' at 8am! yawnx.
(even earlier than reportin' to work)
for the first time, you could see all these office guys & ladies
in their casual, sporty wear, haha
a chartered bus then came & picked us up
goin' to we-had-no-idea
throughout the journey we were all guessin'
cos no one told us what was this expedition gonna be like, & where was it
it turned out to be - singapore orchid country club! (located at yishun)
we were split into 3 groups & went to various stations for team-buildin' games
the theme of this so-called expedition was team-buildin' obviously
the first game that my group played was 4-by-4 tic-tac-toe
lesson learnt:: never be so caught up in competin' with people & forget the objective of workin' towards the same goal together.
the second game was holy temple (did i get the name right?)
a thin pole rested on our index fingers (2 lines of us)
& we were supposed to lower the pole to the ground
it was really tough!
lesson learnt:: a person blamed for somethin' may be encounterin' problems outside his realm of control that caused that somethin' to happen.
the third & last game before lunch involved more runnin'
we had to run to a ring where there were alphabets randomly scattered
then we had to touch the alphabets in sequential order
& run back to where we started
lesson learnt:: maximise your resources. one person can never handle too many things at one time - team members offer help!
we then went back up to the ruby suite
where we had a really inspirin' talk by David Lim - leader of singapore's first mount everest expedition team
quotable quotes:: the best teams do not have 100% of everythin', they use 100% of everythin' they have.
lunch was quite sumptuous
we played a really hilarious pirates game after lunch
captain salute, lighthouse, man overboard, eat your grub, row your boat!
muahaha.
we were then again split into 3 groups after lunch for 3 more games
this time they were all indoor
the first game was a thinkin' game - somethin' like cluedo + sudoku combined
my team was the only team who managed to crack the puzzle!
woohoo.
lesson learnt:: active listenin'!
the next game was system machine
each of us was assigned a number
& we had to pass a few balls in a certain sequence - ascendin'/ descendin'/ even numbers only/ etc.
required some concentration & focus
lesson learnt:: schedulin' with people & co-ordination between various people
the third game was called bullring
each one of us had to pull a string
& all the strings were connected in the middle by a ring
we had to pull the ring up to support a ball & move it to another spot
this game was kidda fun but had to focus so much!
lesson learnt:: everyone in a team matters!
the final round-up game was runnin' through a turnin' rope
kidda thrillin', haha
we all had a souvenier home - the book, mountain to climb, written by David Lim himself!
had dinner at lek LERK thai @ marina square
(edit:: thanks huh, becky. haha! =P )
with Rebecca, Pui San, Qiuyi
we planned to play with lanterns & candles tonight
but the haze was REALLY bad,
so we decided not to add on to the pollution & stay indoors!
had drinks at xin wang hongkong cafe

HAIX.
=(
Adeline has left us.
=(
she handed up her resignation letter today
& we all thought we still at least had one last month to work with her
(since it's one month's notice)
BUT,
they implemented a new policy - which was to leave the very next day
WHAT THE?!
anyway, it was good in a way too
you get paid without havin' to work that one month
haix.
one by one, first was Anvia, now Adeline
it's juz Rebecca & me now..
bec, you can't leave, please..
gonna miss bai xiao jie so much
she's always makin'/ bringin' breakfast for us
always so gentle, cool & blur!
she's worked longer here than any of us in DP
always so patient in teachin'
& workin' so hard for the company
so sudden
from tomorrow onwards, i won't see Adeline in the office anymore
=(
what makes someone so determined to leave?
the lack of appreciation for the amount of effort put in?
i guess so.
i believe appreciation is an important source for motivation
imagine workin' so hard, OT-ing almost everyday
& all you get is only
"why can't you complete this in half a day?"
or you get scoldin' when you make a slight mistake?
we ARE humans, & humans DO make mistakes at times
but in this company, there's absolutely NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES
this is the cruel, sad truth
Adeline, i will miss you callin' me QING MEI!
take lots of care..
