Pay Day!!

Woohoo.. Got our pay yesterday. And guess what... Germaine and I went Times Square to shop after work. Haha.. I bought a jacket - RM10, a pair of slippers - RM10, a sling bag - RM25, a top - RM15. Germaine is a crazy-shopper. She bought 4 pairs of slippers, a pair of covered shoes, 2 bags, as for tops, I have no idea how many she bought. Haha...

Then we had dinner at a place called Gasoline. I like this restaurant alot because the concept is very special and unique. The concept is something like The Flintstone. Haha.. They have a variety of food with cuisines ranging from western to chinese and the prices are quite reasonable as well.

Reached home about 9 plus. Too tired to watch dvd. Went to sleep about 10 plus. Today is another day of work. Later Nigel is bringing us to pasar malam at about 8 plus. Think I going shop again. Haha...

Steph's movie review

In my previous post, I mentioned that I watched 3 movies during the weekends. I've decided to make a short review on each movie. Anyway, this is my personal review.

1. 20th Century Boys
In this Japanese movie, there are 9 childhood friends where one of them is a comic fan and he created a comic story whereby the world will be attacked by a kind of virus and then that's the end of the world. The virus cause the people to have their blood vessels burst and it's literally burst out of the body; from eyes, neck, etc. Then the blood will be drained out of the body and the person died from loss of blood. It attacked many countries and a gigantic robot was built to further destroy the world. It happened that one guy came across their comic and after about 30 years, he turned the comic story into reality. Then the 9 friends are supposed to save the world. I don't find the storyline any good. Because the events that happened in the movie is too un-real.

Rating: 2 out of 5

2. Blindness
This is an American movie. At the start of the movie, there was this Japanese guy who was driving halfway when he suddenly gone blind. He can see nothing but whiteness. His wife accompanied him to see an eye specialist. Then the eye specialist and the Japanese guy's wife contracted the disease as well. The patients that the eye specialist had come in contact with, also contracted this wierd disease. Then all those who are 'blind' are being quarantined.

The eye-specialist's wife followed along because she wants to take care of him. More and more people are being quarantined. The wife takes care of her husband and the people in the ward. Then the whole country contracted this disease and the city was devastated. Towards the end of the story, the Japanese guy suddenly regained his eye-sight.

I don't understand the storyline at all. Firstly, it did not show what caused the people to contract this disease. Secondly, why wasn't the wife infected if the disease is infectious? Thirdly, how come that Japanese guy can regained his eye-sight all of a sudden? This show is really wasting my time. Do not watch this show. This is the first time I felt like walking out of the cinema before the show ends.

Rating: 1/2 out of 5

3. Tropic Thunder
This movie is about this director who wants to produce a movie. Due to miscommunication, the production group blew up fireworks worth of a few million dollars and that happened when the camera wasn't even rolling. As such, the director brought the main actors to shoot guerilla-style in the jungle with hidden cameras.

Throughout the movie, one of the actor was held hostage by the heroin-factory workers. One of the actors thought that was part of the scene but, in fact, it was happening for real. Catch it on the screen if you want to know what happens next. It is a funny, action-packed movie. I find it the best among the 3 shows.

My Weekends

Back from Singapore yesterday night. Haix.. It's another working day. Anyway, I enjoyed myself during the weekends.

Reached Singapore on Friday. Germaine was held back by the immigration officer at Woodlands Checkpoint because she brought back 2 packets of ciggarettes. But, lucky her, she doesn't have to pay any fine. The officer was kind enough to tax her on the ciggarettes only. Des came to fetch me from Woodlans Checkpoint instead of Golden Mile. Then we went AMK Hub. Bought a pair of couple ring. =D After that went Golden Mile to buy the return tickets then went back AMK Hub again to watch movie. Wanted to watch The Coffin but tickets were sold out so watched 20th Century Boys instead.

Went Sentosa on Saturday. Haha.. It was a hot weather. But still better than it rains. Feel really happy because I can realx and enjoy myself after all the things that happened in Malaysia. Watched Songs of the Sea at night. Mel was working so she got us in for free! Thanks Mel!! Most importantly, I can spend time with des. Went for movie again. Wanted to watch The Coffin but tickets at Tampines Mall and Century Square were sold out. So we decided to watch Blindness.

Sunday was my sister's birthday. Stayed at home in the afternoon then went to meet des again at night when he finished work. Went for dinner at Geylang then watched movie again at E-Hub at Downtown East. Haha.. Watched movies for 3 consecutive days. This time, there are 13 of us watching Tropic Thunder. I feel that it's the best show among the 2 others I've watched.

Well, time passes so fast in Singapore while it passes so slow in Malaysia. About 4 weeks & 5 days and we'll leave Malaysia for good. Looking forward to another return in the middle of November.

~Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn’t know you left open~

You are still my friend...

I once wished upon a star
To have you in my heart
You're so close yet so far
Memories etched to my heart

I once liked you so much
But you broke my heart
Longing for your warmth and touch
To mend this shattered heart

You once liked me too
I was over the moon
But you made things complicated
Which was not I wanted

We had different mindsets
We led different lives
You like to plan and organise
I like to take one step at a time

Let go of you
Want to start anew
Let go of me
Go pursue your dreams

You can't be my boyfriend
But you are still my friend
I can't be your girlfriend
No doubt I'm still your friend

3 more days...

3 more days and I'll be on my way back to Singapore. Can't wait to go back!! I want to leave this law firm as soon as possible. I don't know what that bitchy-witch will do next. Though I'll be in Singapore for aout only 4 days, I still don't mind as long as I don't have to see her face. She is so fake.

She set Germaine up. A client settled his bill using e-banking and Germaine had printed out 2 copies of the receipt and filed it inside the client's file. Now that witch told Germaine that the receipt is missing. How can it be missing when it has already been filed inside the file? It's strange.

Anyway, God knows what she's doing and someday or somehow, I believe she'll be punished.

Another day...

Monday comes again. Work again. Counting down to 28 November 2008. 29 more working days. Haix... When will that day come?? It seems so fast yet time passes so slow each day (except weekends).

Now I'm filling up my SIP log book while drinking coffee. I realised I've been doing almost the same thing everyday. Nothing new. Nothing makes me look forward to coming to work. Haix...

Friday night, it was raining after work. When Ms Kwan dropped us at the bus-stop, germaine and I were cursing and swearing. There're f***ing lots of people waiting for bus and cabs. We knew that it is impossible to get a cab. So Germaine called Nigel to come and picked us up. Went for dinner at Macs at Bangsar. Then we went home. At night about 9 plus, we went to play pool with Nigel and Eugene at Breakers. It's a nice place. Played pool and drank beer. Relax after a week's of work. The feeling is good. =) Went to see scenery after that. By the time we got home, it was already 4 plus in the morning. But I'm happy.

Anyway, our weekend was still ok. On saturday, went singing with Brian and Logan at Neway. It was damn expensive. Each person paid about RM60 but I paid only RM50 because I'm only left with that amount. The ktv insists you to purchase 3 bowls of snacks - RM9 each and insists you to purchase a plate of fruits - RM 25 (I think). It is compulsory. I find it damn ridiculous. But heck that. Although it comes with buffet, I still find it that it is over-priced. I will NEVER go Neway again.

Yesterday we just stayed at home the whole day. So lazy to go out. Anyway, it was raining also. Watched dvd again. Haha.. I guess our lives here revolve around work, home, dvd and more dvds.

Tomorrow Never Comes

I'm like half-dead.. Or maybe three-quarter dead. Don't know what to write in my blog. I searched for a story instead. Pardon my laziness.

Tomorrow Never Comes-- By Norma Marek

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two,
To stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you know I do.

So, just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So, if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear,
That you love them very much, and you'll always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

~The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for~

Friday already...

Finally it's a Friday... So what.. Meaning weekends is coming!! Woohooo... Tomorrow going to sing K with Brian and others. Haha.. So long never sing already.

Last night went pasar malam with Germaine and Nigel. He drove us there. Bought quite a number of stuff. Haix.. Spend money again. Wanna save up money so when return to Singapore I can convert to SGD then I have money already. Now I think when I return I have to get money from my mum. I don't like to get money from my family. My dad is earning so little and he has to support the whole family. I don't want to add on the the burden; always having to take money from them. Hmm.. There must be some way out. Haix... Always troubled about money problems.

Anyway, just received an email from Ms Nicole Loh. We are returning on the 30th of November instead of 1 December because school re-opens on the 1st. Haix... School's re-opening soon. I wanna study hard. It's the last semester already. I also wanna work hard. Earn my own pocket money so I don't have to take money from my family.

~Some people never find it, some only pretend, but I just want to live happily ever after every now and then~

I'm returning

I'm returning to Singapore on the 24th!! Haha.. So happy. After about 3 weeks, I'm finally going back. I miss everyone so much and the Singaporean lifestyle.

Although it's only for about 4 days, it's still better than nothing. We told our boss we returning because our LO needs to see us. Haha,,

Yesterday after work, Ms Kwan drove us to Maharajalela station to take monorail to Sungei Wang there to buy tickets. Lucky it's on the way. If not, I don't know how to get there because it was raining damn heavily and with thunderstorms.

After that we went Times Square starbucks to smoke. We decided to jay-walk to get over to Times Square because the traffic light is very far down the road. Then I don't know if my life is that big or what. We saw a car coming and we ran across the road. I slipped... But didn't fall. I was in a shock. What if I fell and the car couldn't stop in time? Lucky.. Really very lucky.

~We make provisions for this life as if it were never to have an end, and for the other life as though it were never to have a beginning~

Tadahh.. Poof..

The witch strikes again. I don't know was it her doing or what. Germaine's lap-top (actually it's the boss's, anyway...) was infected by some strange virus. Everytime we left the office, the witch will still be here until 7 plus at night. If it was her, then she better be careful. Doesn't she sense that her KARMA is on the way (on the way at CTE, Singapore; very fast will come) to find her already?

Yesterday I came back to work after fallen sick for so many days. She didn't even bother to ask how am I feeling. But thinking back, it's better that she didn't ask. I think even if she asks, she just ask for the sake of asking only. Yesterday she came out of her room and ask around: "Anyone see my pen-drive ( aka thumb-drive) ?" Then came to our area looking around. Then she ask me: " Steph ah, you check your area there see got my pen-drive or not?"

Whatever. Don't have! Get lost! You bitch. Rhymes so well with witch. Same breed. Let me tell you, I will keep scolding you as if there is no tomorrow. I will keep scolding until the day I return to Singapore. Don't worry. I won't curse you in my blog because I will curse you secretly. Maybe I don't even have to say anything then you will get your retribution. I don't want to be too evil. If not, I'll be like you.

Insomnia

Argh!! I had insomnia last night. No matter how I tossed and turned, I just couldn't get to sleep. The feeling is just irritating. It was raining damn heavily last night with lightning and thunderstorm. I admit I am scared of thunderstorms. I thought I can have a good night sleep when it's a rainy night. But the thunderstorm was scaring me. When the rain stop, I couldn't sleep. It was until 2 plus in the morning then I managed to fall asleep.

Later after work Germaine and I are going to Times Square to buy tickets back to Singapore. Woohoo.. I can't wait to go back. I already know what I'm going do during the weekends there. 26 Oct is my sister's birthday. No idea what to get for her. Probably get her Doraemon stuff since she likes it so much.

Conquered...

Finally I'm back to work. Was sick for about 5 days already. I've fallen so seriously ill after so many years. Still not fully recover because I'm still having sore throat. In medical terms, it's called Tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is an infection of the Tonsils. Tonsils are located on either sides of the throat. Check up wikipedia for general knowledge. =)

So many days never blog already. I'll just summarise everything up.

Thur
Morning - Germaine and I was sent to another branch to do file searching
Afternoon - After lunch, we followed a lawyer to a court hearing. It was so bored. Then I started to feel a little unwell. I felt really very cold
Night - Really falling sick already

Fri
Morning - I didn't go to work. Was having fever at 38.2
Afternoon - My temperature rose to 38.9 and I was alone at home
Night - Germaine accompanied me to see a doctor and my temperature was 40.2! Consider myself lucky not to have any brain damage

Sat
Morning - My fever kept coming and going. I felt cold and hot then cold and hot again. The anti-biotics the doctor prescribed didn't work very well for me.
Afternoon - Rested the whole day at home while Germaine went out to buy groceries.
Night - Our friends brought us out to drink some tonic soup. Nice...

Sun
Morning - Vomited. Couldn't eat anything. Ill just vomit what I consumed down. Vomit until gastric pain. Still having fever. I thought I was dying. Then looking at our photos, I told myself I cannot die. (sounds a little drama but it's the truth)
Afternoon - Germaine called our boss to bring me to hospital. Took my blood for blood tests. Lucky, don't have to be admitted to hospital. Prescribed some medicine for me. Mr Koay paid for EVERYTHING.
Night - Rested at home. Fever subsided.

Mon
Felt alot better but still rested at home the whole day.

Thanks alot to Mr Koay and especially, Germaine, who had been taking care of me when I'm so sick.

~Funny how just when you think life can't possibly get any worse, it suddenly does~

Inquiété

Y did you have to go Thailand? It's so dangerous and chaotic now. Do you know I'll be damn worried about you? Please let nothing happen to you...

~If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times~

I want to complain!!!

Say I attitude her. What the F***. Since when I attitude her? When we first came in, I somehow remember her saying: "... this company has got no politics..." My foot! No politics then what you call this? Do you need me to remind you that in fact you are the one playing it.

Come on... May I know how old are you already? You have the cheek to say things that Germaine and I have never done before. You have the cheek to complain to the boss. You made Germaine got scolding from the boss. I didn't get it because I'm on MC. You this freaky; two-headed; back-stabber; bitch... You dare to accused us.

Let me tell you. I won't think of ways to get back at you because that is a waste of time. But let me warn you; you will get your KARMA, if you believe in it. I think you do because you are a Christian. Such a person still exist on this Earth. It's just a waste of the Earth's resources.

Enough is enough. You don't cross our border, we don't cross yours. You stay where you are.

~The great use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it~

Let the wind take away my soul...

I've been feeling up and down lately. I don't know what you're thinking about, what you expect from me, what you expect out of this relationship, what you are unhappy about... ...

Before you came into my life, I yearned for love. But I know, for sure, problems will arise. I hate having to quarrel, have heated arguments. Again, I know, if a couple does not have quarrels and arguments, it will defeat the purpose of being in a relationship. Through these, they will understand each other better.

It's hard to live alone outside. Try to understand what I'm going through.

Deep inside my heart...
Am I really being unreasonable, overly-sensitive and paranoid? I guess because the time that we spent together before I came to Malaysia was too short. I still couldn't set my mind at ease. Sometimes I don't know what's up with me. Maybe our perceptions are different. Or the way I show my care and concern is the wrong way.

Personal reflection..
Love is like a plant. The basic neccessities for a plant to grow are water, air and sunlight. In love, concern is like water, care is like air and warmth is like the sunlight. A plant will wither if these basic neccessities are missing. Love will slowly fade away if the neccessities are absent. Do not let the love fade away...

What I feel about:
Girls - Once in a relationship, they will give all out and will try their best to make sure that the relationship will last. But once they have decided to give up, they really will do so. Not because they are heartless. But because they have already given the guy alot of chances and she is tired of everything.

Guys - Once a guy gets what he wants easily, he will lose interest as easily as well. Not to offend guys, but this is how I feel personally.

~Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed~

Counting down to 28 November 2008

37 more working days to the end of my internship. Then I will go back to the life I'm leading before. Can't wait for the day to come. 37 days.. It seems so short yet so long.

It was kind of lucky yesterday. We didn't have to wait for an hour for bus or cab after work. We reached home at around 6.20pm. I guess we break the record. Ms Kwan, our colleague, drove us from office to a bus stop. Before we could finish smoking, a cab came along. Lucky we managed to go home early as it was raining yesterday. Haha.. Lucky day. Hope today will be the same as well. We must leave at exactly 6pm. =)

While watching dvd at home last night, a bug trespassed our house. We spent about 10 minutes trying to knock out the bug and dispose of it. We were petrified. It was only a bug and we spent 10 minutes dealing with it. I wonder what we will do if a cockroach intrudes the house. I will just run upstairs to my room, I guess. Haha..

~The mind determines what is possible. The heart surpasses it~

Things that irritate me during my attachment...

CAB INCIDENT

1. Couldn't get a cab or bus after work
2. Have to wait for an hour or even more
3. The Indians snatched cab from you
4. The people cut your queue
5. The Cab-drivers 'choose' passengers
6. They can anyhow charge you
7. They will get you to share cab with some strangers as long as you all are going to the same place
8. They are dishonest. They told you they know how to go to your desired destination. Once you board, they immediately say "You tell me how to go lah ok" (Ok my foot.. I'm the cab-driver or you are)
9. Command of English isn't very good. You get frustrated by just conversing with them.
10. Sometimes you wonder if you are talking alien language or what. They just don't understand and you have to keep repeating yourself. This is frustrating too.

I know I have to suppress my anger if not I don't think I can live till the end of my internship.

~What you think of yourself is much more important than what others think of you~

Well.. Well..

I've decided to create a blog during my internship in KL. Reason being, I want to share my experiences and I need a space to vent my anger, frustrations, etc. If not, I don't know what will become of me at the end of the third month.

I'm here for only about a month. Still got 3 more months to go. Can I really survive? I have doubts about myself. Might suffer mental breakdown. Cant wait for 1 December to come. Then I will leave this place.
