I just love meeting up with new people...
Its the company that counts... Great ppl with Great Fun!!
But yesterday.... well... things happen for some reason which can be unexplainable. Minor crash... but was in state of shockness... but everything was fine... Thankfully the traffic only started to turn green... Thankfully dear is fine.... just a long tear in his jeans and minor bruises...
To think of it, by now me and Michael should be at Cameron Highlands.
Dear.... just take this as a lesson learnt. Dun get too bothered over it too much. Unexpected things will just happen beyond your control but I will be morally supporting you...
Well, things happen for a reason.... but learn from experience.
Next dance.... nothing can describe how pissed I am....
I can't stand dancing with my partner.... and I dun wish to say more... He simply do not have the flow in dance. He is bloody hell to technical... Having to remember the steps by writing down on a piece of paper but still even after that, he cant remember his routine after all. It's just making me more frustrated!! Its like doing things but its very... totally... UNPRODUCTIVE... its like a waste of my time and money!!! I wanna scold him but also cannot, afraid that it might affect him... Argh!! watever!!! Look... Im paying for the class man.. and its like $25 an hour... Normally we use only 2 lesson to complete a simple routine... It's damn simply steps. But for Jive, 3 lessons and over, he still cant get it. I miss Theo... my school partner. We are on par but we simple have that flow in dance. I think Bao Sheng understands what I mean...
ARGH!!!! Damn it!!! Damn!!!

OK... THIS MEANS.... NO MOOD TO WORK.... but its only 4pm... Hai...
Hmmm....
Tonight.... thats the time I looking forward to...
The HORNETS TEAM are coming down to ACTORS to chill out... Thanks to Mike for introducing them the place... and looks like I need to have mental preparation to handle this bunch of ppl... OMG... But its gonna be loads of fun I bet!!!
I think would better get to ACTORS early and catch some sleep first... or else... omg... by 3am... I will be an angry gal.... Humpf!!!!
Now... since Im so free, allow me to day-dream... lol
Hmmmm... till now, I have always wanted to travel overseas. Even though its Bangkok I would not mind at all as long as Im out of Singapore, having to escape from the hectic working life of mine.
But I cant just say.... I have to do something if I would really wish to travel out of Singapore...
How I wish I can go to Korea.... it would be great if its in the winter season.
I would then need to save up alot.... How much??? When would that happen??
Hai.....
Ok... next... my current beloved Samsung E730 have not even celebrated its 1 yrs old birthday and Im already having tots of getting a new hp... oops...
Should I?? Sony Ericsson... but will I get used to it?? Hmmm.... W810i....

ok lame....
Now, I am practically sitting down doing nothing waiting for time to pass. Its 545pm and I am still waiting for just a reply... but to no avail... hmmmm.....
Still waiting.... and its not going to end till my phone rings.
Whole day I have been carrying like many carton boxes fully loaded with 7 thick files each.... HEAVY!!! It seem that I am the only one clearing up... but what can I complain about...
Oh well... but till now I have no complains over my current working environment. I am well taken care by my colleagues with concern... All the jokes and laughters unlike my previous company where all the back-stabbing takes place.
I am having all a very good start. A GOOD NEW START....

Blur me.... and been so blur all time, I didnt look through the file properly and I actually photocopy additional stuff... -_-'''
Whole day I was actually standing by the photocopying machine... stranded there left with no choice but to continue photocopying all the documents which has to be couriered out...
Boring job scope which I have... easy job with good paying money... oh well... but there's not much a challenge yet. All Im doing is checking the expense claims reports... Tons of them to be precised. Just did a chunk of photocopying today... Tml would be more packing of files to carton boxes which has to be sent to the warehouse for storage. Hmmmm....
Was telling Mike that how I feel like giving up teaching tuition. I just feel so tired teaching.. more of like I just feel so tired working 24/7... Working non-stop... but the problem is, am I able to sustain my living lifestyle?
I think its possible... I dun buy anything extra AT ALL.. Expenditure all draws down to food, transport and dance fees... And the latter is actually the main killer. Soon I will have to fork out another $100, set aside another $100 for my dance and $180 for my dance shoes.
Should I simply just pass my student over to my mum to teach. I just feel that my brain has slowed down alot. Due to tiredness, more of like mental breakdown like sooner or later.
Shower me with more care and love. I really need them now.... lol... oh well.... I dun expect much... but just take me away from the hectic world or work.

Every since I stepped out into the working society, I have always been responsible with my own timings unless due to the fact of some unforeseen circumstances. I will only trouble my mother and not other people. Especially during exam periods. My mum would offer to send me to school early in the morning.Since my 'N' level days, every school holidays I would definitely be working and supporting my own expenses and not taking a single cent. I buy whatever I want and I like with my own hard earned money. I have learned to understand how hard money is earned especially now.
My greatest achievement is having to own my laptop buying using my hard earned money. With $400 instalments every month having to pay back to my dad. No more asking money from my mother for food and transportation fares.
I have this very funny habit of mine. Every since I started working at CNBC Asia on a contract basis, I always tend to reach office very early. To the point that no one is in office yet. It gives me that nice feeling to know that Im the first to arrive for my department. Of cos there are other freaks who are earlier than but in different department. And same goes for my current company.
When I have to early at a certain place, I make sure I get my butt out of bed as soon as my alarm goes off. I make sure that leave the house on time and go down by myself. Why trouble people when its your fault for not been responsible in managing own time slots. Timings are all handled in the palms of your hands. Why depend on others and to trouble others. If Im damn freaking late, I would jolly well not grap a cab...
In life, it all draws down to responsibilites. Handling and managing your own things. Not having people help you all the time. You have to think for yourself. And especially in working life. Having to upkeep punctuality all the time and to protray a good working image.
Somehow everyone's mind concept changes each time one gets older in age.... but its a matter of maturing in a good way or bad way.
To look back and see my working attitude in the past and comparing now, its a total drastic great good change. Probably, I always have that thinking that I do not like office job. Well, working in an office has its pros and cons. Pros are that your working hours are fixed.. Cons are that it might be either super busy are super boring. Im amazed with my drastic change in myself. And I would say that it is a good thing. I have learned to be very much more matured and independent.
BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH YOUR OWN LIFE

Waiting.... More waiting.... still waiting....
Argh... heck... it will never end... all the way till 6am. Damn it...
All the staff at Actors... Zsa had left... Hazel started school... Candice (long gone). But only me and Estee are long survivors as Actor's employees.
Come to think it, I started of last year early June, all the way till now and still going on till its almost a year soon. I wonder why...
I wonder why am I still hanging here... because of the extra cash?? Because I like this place?? Actors has practically become my 2nd home.
Freddy is just like godpa... who no matter wat, still pamper me in the end. Of cos he should pamper me. I do my work and I do it well... I like this place... I like the people here be it if they are a bunch of crazy people. Love the music.
Techno, house or watsoever music had never been my era.
I love Latin the most and I am becoming a 22 year old freak who likes the 80s/90s hardrock. Can you believe that I would prefer dancing to social off-beat cha cha than to R&B.
Clubbing scenes were never to my liking.
Bad memories of clubbing scenes. Scenes where you can see people hitting on other people. But isnt it always the case. Lol... but who cares... I m not one of them...
Give me latin and salsa....
My legs are so itching to dance salsa and cha cha now.
Ok... i m bored....
STILL.... WAITING....
HELL....

It seems that when he is not around, the bar is not that packed with people. But once he is back... TODAY... its damn freaking crowding...
Thank god I slept for awhile before starting to work. Or else by now I would have dropped dead with tiredness.
As my colleague is pregnant... I would rather she stand inside the bar area while I run the outside area.
But oh well, its always good to see him around with his usual large bottle of Red Wine...

I just speak out whats comes from the heart.... I guess I am just too soft which will simply just lead to hurt sometimes. I am one silly fellar who simply just falls too fast... way too fast. Its my bad. But what can I do. I cant help it. What do you except me to do or say then.
What I can say is that when I like/love something, I put my full heart and soul to it... and bury all the past behind me and treasure the present and future.
My actions will speak louder than words

Let It Be
Writer, lead vocal: Paul McCartney
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah let it be.

Finally I m back to my comfy home slacking.... Well, I dun kinda remember wat I blogged just now but I will try to recall...
Life has been such that, I have tuned in to the relaxation mode.
Stop-over at Phuket
There's like nothing much to do and to shop.... or rather practically nothing to buy. Things are simply getting more expensive over at Thailand. But what's best was the Thai massage we all had... It was hell of a breaking bones session.
Stop-over at Langkawi
As usual... NOTHING AT ALL... just caught a cab and went over to the beach area to have our meal which cost us a total of RM69++
Well, thanks to Spiff that me, Bryan and Anita are able to enjoy the cruise though there is nothing much we could do. We all got to experience the lifestyle of rich people who happen to be Spiff's grand-aunt and uncle. How they enjoy luxury food... drawing down to bird's nest, sharks fin, abalone...etc... They even paid for all the dinner and Thai massage when we went with them.
Seeing how Spiff's grand-aunt managed to change SGD$2000 within less than 20mins both win and lose at the casino.
Thanks Spiff.
I somehow understood how the probability and ratio goes about for gambling... There's this situation that I was totally amazed by myself. After looking at all the numbers which opened and I actually concluded the next upcoming expected number... and OMG I really could not believe my eyes... 'zero' the number which I expected it to be... 'if only'.... If only I had chips with me or I would have told Spiff's grand-aunt... she would have won back a sum of money... I 'might' even win something.. lol... but oh well... things happened unexpectedly somethings. Be it sweet or bitter.
Ok... you know what...!!! IM BURNT!!! After all the tanning... and it was like at 12pm in the afternoon.. the worse heat to ever have a tan... IM TOTALLY BURNT!! Im all red and in pain...

Everything is simply amazing.. Starting from the checking in point all the way till now. Nothing much to do on board though, because even for the bars and pubs have practically no one there. Was supposed to rest once I get on board but only managed to get less than 4 hrs of broken sleep. Headed down to the pub area and drink abit. Woo... that made me really sleep through the night though I woke up with slight headache.
Watched the sea by the deck.. its totally amazing that you see the endless sea. It never seem to end. The beautiful horizon... and the ripples of the sea and the great sea breeze.. it just feels so good having to just sit at the deck watching the ship sail through the sea... its so much of a relaxation which I really need and off cos its the best place to start day dreaming and daze away.
Alright... internet access charges is damn freaky expensive here... like $0.33 per min and I have already used more than half and hour on the internet.. Have to go for now. I will update soon.

Quoted a few days back on my msn - *I wanna have a sweet life, so who is gonna be willing to pamper me with TLC?* Its finally happening. Even though this is the very first day, the very start of our relationship, but I think there would be more to this relationship.
First time ever do I have a boyfriend who is 7years older than me. But this is wat he told me... 'so wat if a 29 yr old prefers a company of a 22 yr old? Does that seem to have an age gap? Or prefectly ok?'
I think I finally know what's the answer to my question and what question it's supposed to be. Thank you.... It's a relationship starting on my mother's birthday itself. Looks like I always end up with biker guys... hmmm.... *rubbing chin*
Ok today is my mum's birthday... Happy Birthday Mum...
Next is what I heard was that Sean, the one whom I saw during the Melaka trip, he was knocked down by another biker who had erratic riding from behind. Hit Sean and he actually flew off his bike. I am praying that he is not in any serious condition but be well soon. At least he was warded to a hospital in Malaysia immediately unlike my step-cousin who was delayed in sending him to the hospital. All these really reminds me of Ben, my step cousin.
Please be well Sean. We are all keeping you in prayers and that you will be well.

But I think I know whats the answer to it. It does not seem like what it looks like at all. What is it then... Pls tell me... Pls advise me... Let me accept the fact. All I want to know is an answer to my question. But what exactly is my question..
I want something but what is it... it seems that it will not belong to me. Is it really this way? Pls tell me...
I really dun wish to have these happening to me. Why!!!
Help me... ADVISE ME... I think Im totally lost. It looks like as though I am lost in a deep forest which is not suppose to be this way.

'There's nothing at all....' But anyway, I do not know what he is thinking, whether ready or not...
It's more like whether m I ready or not and whether I accept it or not if anything is to happen in future.
Our future is just like as through it been covered with a piece of cloth and you do not know what's beneath it, what's gonna happen. We dun really get to control it. But only trying to change it or leaving the way it is when it happens.
You are not going to know who you are going to meet or who are going fall out with someone... life is unpredictable.
I missed 2 chances of my life.... a 14 years friendship since young, a 2-3 years friendship but he is going off....
Will I miss another one?? Who know??
Surrounding happenings can sometimes cause confusion, and been in a state of dilemma.. to the point when you do not even know yrself and wat you wanna do... HOW???
I dun know why but I have been quite affected...
Salsaera Paradiz signing off lovingly 4/11/2006 01:03:00 PM
Giving wrong signals is the worst.... but sometimes we just do it without knowing it. Hai....
And all these will just case trouble and maybe even sadness in the end. Is this even fair...
My heart is starting to shake... melts...
If its not for her, I think I would not be talking to him actually but instead just simply going on our own seperate ways.
Things happen and I wonder why and what makes him do that.
Is there really something going on... Sparks?? Or simply just merely concerning as a friend? There's just this strange feeling in me.
Since the last day I saw him, the image of him kept appearing in my head. Why???
Oh well, what can be so important other than my dance... July 1st would be my bronze medal exam. Then competitions....
WDDSC.... Competitions events calender is what I always take note off. http://www.wddsc.com/calendar/medallist/index07c.htm

I also suck at road directions....
PLEASE... Help me... hopefully I would not be getting route 6 or 7... Or else I will definitely fail. There's like way too many cars.
Truth to say, Singaporean drivers are just very impatient. All they want is fast and nothing gets into their way. -_-'''
Dance was good usual... I am always looking forward to the private lesson with Annie Lao Shi... To train on my technique and my cha cha walk... I just hope Kane will remember his routine... Especially on July 1st and 2nd....
Oh my....
I did something illegal today.... I tried riding on Kane's bike. I was like screaming most of the time. Oh please I can hardly balance.
Give me a bicycle... yes I can ride and I can ride it fast. But its just so different. Bicycle is just light I can definitely control it easily but motorbike... hmmm.... I m thinking twice.
Like was Michael told me which his instructor quoted to him, 'Some people are destined to be a biker, but some are just destined to be a pillion.'
To think of it now... I would have to agree to that sentence. Being a bike and being a pillion is totally different. But definitely the pillion would hold higher risk to their life.
For they would not know how what's gonna happen next and cant react fast enough to bad situations like the biker themselves as they are the one controlling their bikes.
Hmmmm.... how... what should my final decision be? Aiya... wait till I get my car license first then we will talk about it... -_-'''

Good day it is....
One can of red bull in the morning really helps me to keep myself awake till now.
Now I know how to stop myself from dozing off in the office all the time...
RED BULL!!
LOL...
Finally met up with all the regular customers... and I was telling them all about the bike thrill to Melaka last weekend... How much fun I had and how I wish to learn and get my bike license. kekeke...
Haa.... but best of all is really to have Michael appearing at my work place...
Glad that he really had a great time there, enjoying all the old school time songs... 80s - 90s hardrock... lol...
Hmmm.... his singing is not bad I would say. (but Michael... you dun thick skin hor.. ) lol...
What Im amazed about is that... he enjoyed himself so much that he stayed all the way till the bar closes, when he was supposed to go to MOS to meet up with his friends.
Looks Im gonna expect him more at Actors. Every Friday I would say... and since next Friday is Good Friday, I bet he gonna go down to Actors on Thursday.
A place where he has always been looking for to jam and to sing.
It's definitely a good place to chill if you like the place... But as wat I have told Mike in the very first place... he has to come down to see the place himself and then judge if he likes it or not. And he does like it.
Call the hornets bike team down and chill out. Call Alan and gang... whahaha... its gonna be whole hell loads of fun...
More to come... more to come.... Cheers to the bikers!!!
Haa... few more hours to go and I would be dancing all the way... Woohoo!!! Gonna try out on my new dance shoes....
Ok... you know wat now... IM HUNGRY...

Finally my 3rd new pair of dance shoes!!!
Elegant pair of 3+ inch high heels....
It is very comfortable that I could not even feel the strain on my feet even though the heels are very high.
Worth buying this pair for just $77 as a practice heels and my salsa heels.
Next would be my 4th new pair of International Latin dance shoes imported all the way from England, worth $180. Not very high though... just 2.5 inch heels. Not much of a strain when I am to compete in competitions in time to come.
Im crazy....
1st pair of heels = $120 (died-ed)
2nd pair of heels = $160 (half dead)
3rd pair of heels = $77 (brand new)
4th pair of heels = $180 (on the way)
OMG.... I have spent a total of $537 on dancing shoes for the past 2 years.

3D 2N Melaka trip with Bikers Team!
1. Thicker wind breaker
2. Have yr sports shoes on
3. Definitely to wear jeans
The last entry when I stated that I do not know how I felt when having to go to Melaka, I know it now... It was totally great and a whole new experience. Not the usual taking of coach up to Malaysia but a big group of us riding all the way up to Melaka...
A total of 9 bikes... Sports bike to be specific!!! My fav bike... HONDA BLACKBIRD
The one Dominic used to ride but now he got himself a Silverwing. It's a pretty bike but comparing to speed, it's a losing point as compared to Blackbird. I also like Ben's bike.... First SUZUKI bike in Singapore. Damn cool!!!
We had a delay in departure due to the heavy rain beforehand. But weather was dry and cool for our ride up to Melaka. Quite heavy traffic along the
N-S highway till Pagoh due to major accident. Close to 3 hours of ride up to Melaka is totally tedious. Back aching like nobody's business.
It was a successful mission arriving at the Celub shop at 12.20am on Friday night and we all managed to have our satay celup. Something which you cannot find in Singapore. 'Satay Steamboat'. Totally awesome...
Finally we all reached Eric's house and oh my... his house porch is big enough to park 9 big bikes without much problem. Finally we all knocked out after a tiring journey.
Eric's parents very nice and hospitable. They even took the trouble to get an extra car for us and Veggie food for Kwan who is a vegetarian.
Saturday morning, I was the first to wake up though I slept very late. Only a few of us were awake so we decided to go for a light breakfast. Woohoo... Slacked awhile, take pictures, I had pictures with poses on Ben's bike.. Cant wait to receive the pictures...
Melaka famous Chicken Rice Balls for lunch...
Walked up the hill to St Paul Church with Eric, Sean and Dominic... Great scenery and what's best was the cooling wind blowing against us
But very soon, it was time to return back to the house as Team A had to leave for Singapore... Haa... too bad for them... for they missed out a great seafood dinner.
Eric's mother specially ordered fresh seafood for the restaurant to prepare and yup we ate on behalf of Team A.
Then came the worse part of the night. Clubbing seems to be the usual plan in every trips.
There's this gal I just got to know and she stands a freaking 180m tall. *FAINTS*
She is not only tall... she really can club and dance non-stop. And because she is super tall, that makes her very eye-catching. But the moment she starts dancing... I start to shake my head and walk out all the way till I reach the table outside the club with my head still shaking. LOL...
I think I have seriously not within the teenage era... My time has turned back to the 70s - 90s hardrock... lol... But seriously, by 2am... my eyes are starting to close... but she insisted that we go on bike rounding, and I was already so tired. Just to impress the people in Malaysia... -_-'''
But I was freaked out when I was almost gonna be thrown off the bike twice. It's not the biker's fault but just that it's the Malaysia roads are horrible... filled with big potholes.
Then I remembered about my step-cousin who passed away like coming to a year now. How badly he died. The whole situation was similar to mine. Going out in a big group... all bikers... Dun tell me that they were not speeding... because the minimum speed on the N-S highway was 110km/hr. And most of them were riding over 150km/hr.
Reasons for his nasty death
1. Was too tired to concentrate on the roads
2. Was speeding too fast and lost control to brake
By the time we were back... I knocked out after washing up, all the way till 12pm the next day and that they had to buy food back for those who were still sleeping.
Sunday was practically a lazy day... slacking all the way before setting off for Singapore.
Love talking to Annie, Kwan's wife. Got to know a lot about her. I already have the plans to learn and get my bike license but after this trip, I'm even more tempted to get it but at the same time I am very afraid.
Finally it was time to head back to Singapore. This time, I see and experience an accident in front of my eyes which happened just beside us. In my heart I was thinking at that point of time was that, it could have been us, been knocked down and injured very badly as the car behind was driving at great speed.
Oh well, but overall, I never regretted going on the bike trip to Melaka.
Pictures will be uploaded to my friendster once Alan uploads the pictures in the forum.
Back at home yesterday... it so happen that Penny also knows Michael.. what a small world this is. Had a great time talking to him and crapping a lot.
Looking forward for the supper meet up and to be his pillion then... lol... Hahaha... Penny... you take the front, I take the back. Yeah!!! LOL...
After this trip.... I have also come up with a conclusion....
I really love my life as a SINGLETON... I have all the freedom to myself, having to go anyway I like.
