Emotion 10/19/2009
And so it comes again.... MELLOW. SENSITIVE. TEARS. PAIN. Quick Update 10/15/2009
Blogging is not my forte, nor it is my cup of tea. I write when I feel like writing, but unfortunately I always succumb to laziness or inspirational-less self. I always have this syndrome. I start something enthusiastically and decide to drop the matter completely. No hesitation I should say. So what makes me think of writing today? now? Well, the most obvious reason is because I am bored and there isn't other things to do that is more time consuming than writing (what a positive remark!). And by writing I mean blogging. I do not have multiple diary accounts so here I am. I am no longer scratching my head because I have long since lost my train of thoughts. My spontaneous remarks usually stay in my head, they belong there and it's quite amusing how the complex brain processes the data into an almost humanely impossible information. I guess I am lost in my own mind. Retard. The past couple of months I have been enjoying life quite well. Aside from the normal routine, I had a time off with my mom and sis. We went for a short holiday getaway in GuangXi, China. The trip itself was slightly forgettable but I am not complaining since it's always good to be away from work, to look at the other side of the world and witness whether their grass is greener there. For me, China is always exciting. I can't really say I love the people there, but culture and food wise, China is "almost paradise". More of it in my places page (hopefully it won't take long before I update there). And, inventory count is over. Now I only have one more count scheduled in December. Meanwhile, I am good to rest and regenerate the much needed stamina and health. While doing that, I am now in KL for a 3 days digital workshop and in November, I'll be flying home. I need TLC almost desperately from my family. I guess I am getting slightly annoyed in taking care of my own self. Is that even possible?! More planning to come:: holiday, annual leave, bonus, salary, food, clothes, shoes, bla bla bla. I guess I'll just update again some other time. The Most Courteous Neighbour 08/19/2009
This happened to me about 2 nights ago. I was walking toward my residential lobby and automatically digged through my bag to find the access card, this neighbour of mine actually pressed the open door button for me from the inside. -> 1 POINT As I walked in to the elevator, he pressed the open door button for me patiently. -> 1 POINT I said thank you and he smiled to me acknowingly. -> 1 POINT When we reached our floor, I hold the open door button for him and he said thank you. -> 1 POINT It was the first time I met him but courtesy should not be bounded by familiarity. Sometimes, a small gesture makes a whole load of a difference to someone's life. I am proud to give him the Most Courteous Neighbour award of the year. Yes, he's only 10 years old max. I wonder how adults are being "too adults" by not learning from small kids? I do understand not all kids are superbly nice, but well, if we could teach them about manners, why aren't we doing it ourselves? Honestly, a lot of my BAD times are caused by adults. Maybe again, I am being too adult for not able to let go/forgive/forget as easily as a kid. Hmmm...this life is confusing. Education is one thing that I should not have taken too seriously. blah blah blah. There you go, Mr.Neighbour....you have the attitude to succeed in the future. Just, don't let anyone/anything "pollute" your mind. Good luck. Personality Break Outs 08/14/2009
Characteristics of all four personality types can be found within each of us, but there is almost always one personality type that is dominant. We call this the major personality type.

The magic of relativity...hmmm... The past 72 hours were good...no, I should say very good...I couldn't believe how time flew so fast! As I was in the bus heading back to the tiny red dot, I got goosebumps reminiscing yet another memory to be hold dearly at my old age...holiday is always a nice getaway for me, but having to spend holiday with close friends is another treat I greedily want to splurge on again and again...I secretly wish that it would never end... I hate goodbyes...but without goodbyes, would I be able to understand the meaning of hellos? honestly, not really So, where have all the 72 hours gone to?.... I don't know Aside from all the physical activities that we did (which I will write on my "Places" page later on)...I guess most parts of the 72 hours have not really "gone" anywhere...those hours stay with me...yeah, they are teasing me to have another holiday... Thank you for a wonderful Malacca trip...there wasn't an awkward silence, it's just a moment of enjoying a comfortable silence where only good friends could do so ^^ A Quick Hello from Malacca! 08/07/2009
Annyeong! (not that I am in Seoul) =P Quite a pleasant surprise to hear me from Malacca, aren't you? It's National Day holiday on Monday so "Phamily" decided on a short getaway in Malacca...we're staying in a comfie, cozy, long-missed, none other than Lam's crib! (kumabwo-yo) ^^ While waiting for the rest of "Phamily" members to arrive, am currently a temporary clerk for Integrated Merchants Sdn.Bhd...erghmm, not sure if I am allowed to disclose the name but oh well, it's a nice decent place with Alaska tucked just a step away *yahooooo* Thing is, I have taken the place for granted and "grabbed" a cone of ice cream...I can't just have free desert, can I? hahahaha...frankly, I am not helping much but spending time leisurely while watching the big boss running here and there *nod nod* now I know how hard life is.. *grin* Look forward for an awesome time later, tomorrow and the day after!! Dance Noisily Workshop 08/02/2009
 Photo courtesy of Ng Chrong Meng QiJing and myself participated in this free event in conjunction with Singapore Art Festival. It was quite some time ago but I only get to see the photos today (it's a norm for professional photographers to take ages before publishing their artwork since they have tonnes of projects to do, and editing the way professionals do take approximately 1000X longer than my usual "bo-chap" style). So anyway, I looked bubbly aka chubby aka fat. ROFL. The workshop is about expressions of feelings and emotions by the use of sounds, and therefore the title "noisily". We were not allowed to speak, but merely making funny voices. We were also taught to be in close contact with our body, how every movement creates different sounds, different emotions and different "touches". I found it rather embarassing at first because I wasn't very comfortable to act "silly" in front of strangers. But most of them are dancers themselves so they were real good. After a couple of attempts, we scored fine. First up was solo performance. Everyone was given a standard basic movement to improve on. The piece was simple, but not easy. There were moments of laughters...but everyone did well. Second up was team performance. We were divided into groups of three. The choreographer then delegated some simple task i.e. (1) Everyone has to touch each other, (2) Everyone has to remain on their place, but make noises...etc etc. This part was the most entertaining of all. I have somehow made peace with my ego and performed quite comfortably. Third up was a "merger" performance. My team and QiJing's came together to perform another piece, which is the collaboration of both pieces that we did on second task. It was fun. Thank you for such an amazing experience!! Excited...and not so excited 07/27/2009
