FROGGER

Think I gonna lurve facebook soooooo much!

Just saw an invitation to ARCADE GAMES by Ryan. My ryan baby I love you soooooo much for inviting me.....

Cos I saw my all time favourite.... FROGGER.

I remember playing this when I was really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really YOUNG. Ok I put x23 of "really" cos I played this around 23 years ago to be exact ok.

Frogger was my cousins' favourite game and at that time, only the rich had computers. And the computers were big and squarish and the images were ugly cos you can see the matrix making out the shapes on the screen.

I was fascinated by the game. They had other games la, but more for the "bigger" children la. I remember them playing "Mission Impossible", "Donkey Kong" (yes, another of my favourite), "Dungeons and Dragons" (All time favourite for them cos its a "guy" game) and not to mention, FROGGER.

Maybe at my age, I was fascinated to see the frog jump across the road and onto the logs and then go home. Maybe my cousins' surgical fingers (they are both doctors now) made the whole controlling of frogger look so easy.

I remember my frog can only go straight and straight and straight. I was so dumb that I cannot move the frog sideways. I had to wait till all traffic was clear before i move my frog straight straight and straight. Hahahahahah..... same for the logs I had to wait till the best chance to jump it on the log..... cannot and dunno how to move left or rite.......

Now facebook has ALL the favourites. I am going to be sooooooo hooked on facebook now.......

Gone with my wings??? I dun think so...

I know I gonna get depressed with my wings gone. Plus I am down with flu and a toothache. Whenever my health is not in top form, my emotions always go haywire and goes on a roller coaster ride. But this time I am quite calm.

Haha. Maybe the antibiotics that I am on have sedatives in them. Maybe I have learnt to take things easy? (Not very convinced).

Funny thing is, I have been learning to accept the way things are now.....

With immediate effect my commission is affected. I dun even need to wait till march. It was a blessing in disguise to let tortilla go. I am sad I had to make such a decision but it was a rite one. Cos if he didnt go, I will have to go (meaning hug him and die together). Hahaha.

Losing my wings is not a big thing. Cos I wasnt born with wings. So i'll need to get adjusted to things now. The simple things in life can also bring happiness. Not neccesary to have luxurious things to be happy..

For example, you can be happy taking a bus ride around and seeing the beautiful creations by God. You can be happy by lazing around at the beach and spending time with the people you love. You can be extremely happy when you get to take a ride in people's car and go to JB!!!

Hahahahaha...... Ok i am proud that i am taking things well.....

I am not gone with my wings. Ah ber is still here and doin well ok.....

In loving memory of Tortilla

It was over jus over the weekend.

My tortilla is gone jus like tat. I didnt even have the chance to say goodbye. Kenji took him away on saturday and Tortilla never came back and is never going to come back.

Farewell Tortilla, my pair of able wings...

The last I saw him was on Thursday. He accompanied me on his final mission, the mission he was initially bought for. He sent me to the swimming complex and waited for me patiently while I finished my class. Both him and I didnt know this was the last time he was going on a mission with me.

Kenji told me that Tortilla refused to start at the workshop. It hurt me to hear that cos I know tortilla must be angry with me. Tortilla doesnt really give me much trouble. I could handle him and I could bear with him whether he could start up or not. There are some parts not good about him. But it wasnt wat he wanted either. He tried his best for me for the past 2 years.

He watched Junior grow. Junior slept inside him. He was there when Terror was bought home. He put up with her pee and barking and scratching. But he will never get to see their kids, or my kids.

Tortilla was there for me when I needed to move from east to west of singapore. He even carried me all the way across the causeway. Even though he was weary and tired, I worked him to the bone and he finally couldn't move anymore in JB. That was the 1st time I left him overseas in a foreign land. But he was brave and able. He waited patiently for me to return the next day to help him. He was there to share my happines together with my family by ferrying us everywhere we wanted to go. He was there when I was angry and hurt and I cried.

But then I let him go. I dun know if the antibiotics were making my brain make bad decisions or my toothache barred me from thinking rite, but I let him go. And I miss him.

Farewell Tortilla. Just wan you to know that you are missed, you will be missed and I do love you. Its just circumstances that made me unable to keep you. Hope you get a good owner who will love you jus as I loved you, or love you even more.

I know I didnt fulfil my part fully. I didnt bathe you as often as the other cars. I dun really keep you clean and shiny and proud to be mine. But I love you no matter if you have 1 inch of dirt over you or whether you are shiny or not. I love you cos you have been a part of me for the past 2 years and you have served me well. Maybe its now time to get someone who can treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Love you lots. Bye Tortilla.

Dilemma at the dentist

Today I visited my dentist for a rumoured horrible procedure on my molar.

Well. I was contemplating to pull it out or save it. Pulling it out means I save a whole lot cos it might cost only $80. But I have no more molar on my left side. Saving it means I need to spend a total of 2months of my time and around $2k+ of my money, which includes a root canal treatment, crowning and a bridge.

Dentist said my tooth can be saved. So I proceeded with the root canal treatment. Just 2 roots to dig out and clean and disinfect and fill. Total damage today $545.70. Hmmmm.......

Next month I gonna spend more on my crowning and bridging. Well. hope its for the better....

I am going to Macau

I am soooooo looking forward to March.


Partly because I will take on my new role, have a new partner (the 1 and only guy in both the temp and permanent teams is MINE now), have a better work life balance, celebrate Jared's birthday most probably in JB DANGA BAY and and and and and AND I AM GOING TO MACAU!!!!!


I am going to stay at the Venetian for 3 nights!!!!! Ok. i know in my previous post I am talking about saving and stuff like tat. But I DUN CARE. Cos the venetian is some place that is 5**** and I will surely feel like a rich gal. Hahahahaha.







And I am going to HK after like 19 years!!!! And not to mention to Zhuhai to ShOp TiLl I dRoP..... YEAH!!!!!

March is a good month.
April not too bad too cos got long weekend.

June and July is a good time to plan to go cool places
August got long weekend again
September is good cos got nice birthdays I can celebrate
October is kinda boring but its towards the end of the year so it will be great too
November has long weekend too
December, dun mention, its the best month in the whole year!!!!!

Change of role

Remember that I resigned and was rejected (most embarrassing resignation la)?

My company is undergoing an internal restructuring. I have been offered a new role and I have sort of "accepted" it as my bosses have "assigned" me to this new role as they feel that my strengths lie in Service.

I will no longer do recruitment. Meaning, no more calling and talking to strangers, no more people flying your kite, no more late nites waiting for candidates, no more excitement when my candidate gets selected for a position, no more interviews with weird people, no more interview marathon, no more profiling resumes (dun speak too soon), no more PROJECTS (YEAH)

I will be focusing on service delivery. Yup, i'll be a service delivery consultant.

I will be fighting paperwork everyday. Perks are, I get to go home on time, I get to reach home before the sky runs out of light, I get to play more facebook and update my blog more often when I am back, I can slack at home, I can meet up with friends and have my social life back, I can do more housework (yeah, rite...), I can be a couch potato, I can spend more time with Junior and Terror, I can spend more time with Kenji, I can sleep early, I can rest more, I can have more free time.

The downs are..... I have no commission anymore. I have to scrimp and save on my poor meagre basic pay. I might have to sell tortilla away as I cannot afford to have him, I have to think twice when buying expensive things, I have to eat bread and butter and maggie mee, I have to plan my money in smart and wise way.

Actually, its not a bad thing rite? Cos anyway I still have to save rite. Hahahahaha.

And Commission is not the most important thing to me. The most important thing is I am happy with my job. And so far I am happy. :) And yes, paperwork can be lethal too, but I think it is still manageable I hope......

We'll see how things work out..... anyway Ah ber wun starve to death cos I am a jack in many trades. I wun go to the stage where I have to stand at Geylang. Hahahahahhaa..... the most I will be a fishergal..... hahahahahah..... or I shall be a bummer and have free food and lodging at bradel..... Hahahahaha. mummy will be the most happy person on earth I think......

Well, to look on the bright side, I no longer have to rush around like an ant or spider. I no longer have to stare at my phone for SMS from clients or candidates. I no longer have the stress on filling job orders....... I just have to beat time to do keying of the system and paperwork and talking to clients and candidates that are familiar to my company and helping to do service recovery all that. YEAH!!!!! Which is my forte!!!

Well, anywhere I go, 2009 is a good good good year for me!!!

So I am going to PROSPER and BLOOM and HUAT AH..... hahahahahahaah

Happy Valentines Day!!! 2009!!!

Today is Saturday and its Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines to all my friends whether you are single or coupled or married or divorced. Actually everyday can be valentines if you choose to live it that way.

In fact this afternoon when I went out with Rina she mentioned that she dun feel the mood for valentines..... Hmmmm. I never seem to feel the special mood for valentines..... Last 2 years Yup, I do feel a twinge here and there in my heart.... the excitement of going out together where your boyfriend and you can spend special times together just on this day..... where you should feel pampered and loved and well taken care of.....

Today I still didnt feel the mood up till 2.45pm when Rina and me were discussing about Valentines day.

But I decided that since I dun feel the mood, I should create it for myself. Well you see, I am quite a stubborn and independent gal who takes things into my own hands to make people feel better.

hahha...

So I decided to cook a valentines dinner for kenji. Nothing special cos I do cook for him occassionally... but today I made him his favourites..... bacon, beef steak, ham, eggs, Mash potato, greens for the day, baked beans and I also baked him my 1st cake ever since moving into my house. hahahaha.....

And I actually felt the mood when I was preparing dinner!!!! Hahahahha.

That explains why the food tastes really nice!!

Dun talk too much.... let the pictures speak for themselves...... :)

Looks good rite! Ah ber can cook one ok!!!!!
