Feeling sick. Every wk, since i started work, from monday onwards, i started to have constipation for the next five days till the wkend cums. This is so horrible. My stomach feels so bloated and sometimes i wonder, m i getting tummy and growing fat? or isit those undigested stuffs tt i haven gotten rid off. What's happening? Work stress? Cant be lo. Though i do make few mistakes sometimes, but the colleagues just tell me bout it, nvr even scold me. Not enuff fibre? I eat fruits everyday lo, some days, i had fruits 2 - 3 times a day. I even tried prunes and prune juice (taste horrendous), but all means had failed.
Mum keeps nagging about how unhealthy n harmful it is. argh, of coz i knew it.
I rmb when i was very young, less than five, i went to c a chinese physician due to the same problem. Guess wat, he actualllie use sth to help me pull the disgusting stuffs out to my anus and immediately ask me to go to the toliet at the clinic quickly. Gosh, it was so gross.
When i had another terrible time in secondary, i couldnt (aND wouldnt want) go back to the same place for the same method. Went to consult a western GP instead. I was given brown medicine, in form of tablets and it was quite effective. After tt, i tried again. It was ineffective, seems like i'm immune to it liao.
This time, i tried prune juice. Just tried it few hours ago. It tastes disgusting, just like medicine. Yucks. After tt, my stomach felt weird. Mum was scolding me for drinking a third of a bottle at one go and might get diahorrea instead. Well, i rather get tt and to get rid of my bloatedness..
Hopefully, tml will end the constipation of the week. It's friday and wkend is cuming..

The blades might look shiny but i made a promise not to touch them ever again.
Its hard not to take notice..

Ray Charles - Do I ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind
Darlin' do you ever see
Some situation somewhere, somehow
Triggers your memory
And do you ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind

Do you ever want to know
If all dreams go on endlessly
Or do they just run down
Somehow and gradually become
The custody of that melancholy jailer father time
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
Do I ever cross your mind
uninvited - when you're lonely
Or does that only, only happen to me
And don't you ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind

Do I ever cross your mind
Uninvited when you're lonely
Or does that only, only happen to me
And don't you ever wonder
What became of all the time
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind
And darlin' do I ever, ever cross your mind

2 daes of non-world cup matches..
Wonder how it'll be lyk? Been watching the matches for the past 2 wks. It has been my source of motivation. Everyday, wake up in the morning, in the train gg to work, wonder wat are the matches for the night, and the score for the 3m matches tt i missed. Some of the nights, i even sacrificed my sleep for it. Shit. I wonder how will i survive when the wc is over in 2 wks time. Will I lost my source of entertainment during the sch hols? haha. Fortunately, that period of time, i'll be so busy with all the camps, and get ready for the start of the school sem, i'll be too chao-ta to bother. Another term of Red Indian Chief. lol

Counting down:
13 more days to the last day of work at deustche. Definitely will miss the ppl thr, and all the food dey fed me with. Just 2 wks thr, i've grown fat, with all the wunderful, delicious food i gt almost everydae.
Today it's lyk the lst time i crapped and joked in the office. I was jumping, or skipping ard happily in the office. Mad lo, dunno wat came to me. lol. Usually, i wouldnt, in fact, couldnt, coz everyone was so so busy with their work. Rayner was the one hu start it when i was sitting near him using the Bloomberg system. He mentioned tt i alwaze gif the "cant be bothered" face when i did my work. TT's y for the past 2 wks, no one cums to entertain me.haha. Ya, if u dunno me, i can be a dao person, unless u took the initiative to approach me.

Haiz, so sad. Spain is out. I'll miss my torres and sergio ramos..
Preview of some of the soccer dudes:

just came back from marina sq some time ago. Met up with the galz, and had a simple dinner and strolling in the shopping center. Ts and i spent about half and hour queuing and trying out clothes in Mango, but ended up with nuthun. Either couldnt find anything pleasing to our eyes or the sizes that we want had been sold out. Haiz, miss the crazy sale one last thurs..

The first thing kl said to me when she saw me was, "why are u so shagged?"
work has been busy lately. Well, not really. In the afternoon, I was slacking away, surfing the net, it's only in the evening, when work start coming in and i just couldnt finish in time for home or outing. Haiz. Tt's y met the galz late today. If i was not meeting anione, i dun mind doing OT..extra pay lo.lol. Oh ya, which reminds me, i haven send ani of my timesheet to my agent, and i nid $$ go PP with CS.lol.
Seriously, i must agree tt the colleagues are vv nice. Lunch at hakka restaurant, and everyone paid, but they forbid me to put in my share. Their reason was tt i'm just a temp staff and student, and in future, when i start working, then treat them lo. So paiseh lo.

Seriously, i'm getting fat. I'm going have a tummy. Wth. Need to exercise soon, after slacking for so long. This weekend gonna go swimming, at least practise for my evaluation. Haiz.

Today is the start of sbs senior camp, till friday. haiz, din go for it, coz of work and most of the com ppl nt gg for senior camp too ma. U all do have a fun time, and tell me bout it lo.lol

Haiz, dun feel lyk gg down for lunch tml, but feel so bad. Wana stay in office and rest and read my "omg" comics. kl, she noes wat i mean.haha

Netherlands is out of the game. One of my favorite and supported team. Either Portugal or Holland out, i'll miss seeing them. I support both teams lo. Din catch the match coz it was at 3am. haiz. Heard there was 4 red cards given, and the last few minutes were lyk wrestling matches. Haiz, miss it. haven seen soccer players wrestling b4.
Another exciting 3 am match. Hard to predict hu'll win oso. France? Spain? Of coz, hope Spain will win, wont wan another of my supported team to be out, and Spain did well in the group matches compared to France. They should be given a chance to advance lo, esp my torres. Oh ya, not to mention he gt indian scriptures as his tattoo on his arm. So weird lo. And Sergio Ramos had his parents' names on his arm too. Does Spanish like to carve things on their arms? lol.

Need to sleep early liao. Super Tired. Tml might be doing OT too..

Next round, they would be having a hard time against either netherlands or portugal.
and Becks is so shuai today..haha..

Becks preparing for the free-kick

GOAL!!

I love his sky blue boots..

Watched argentina against ecuador yesterdae. Exciting. It's the first extra time in this WC, and Rodriguez scored an impressive winning goal, so cool and shuai.
Seldom catch the 3am matches, but yesterdae decide to watch it. Ended up dozing off on the sofa b4 the first half ended, by the time i woke up, it's already in the 2nd half.
The match ended at 5.30am..haiz..so late lo..

Slacking the whole day today, resting in fact, getting myself energised for the following week.

GERMANY IS GOING QUARTER-FINALS....

Wat a match, just less than 20minutes, Germany was already in the lead, with Podolski's 2 goals. After his first world cup goal in the last match, he seems to be on fire. Incredible. I was jumping and screaming at the 2 goals. He destroyed the dreamz of the Swedes, whom wanted to take revenge by winning the match, wanted the Germans to experience the shame of losing in their own land, like wat the Germans did to the Swedes in 1992. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. Well done, Germans! They brought miracle and pride to their country. They came to WC with a new young team, yet under Klinsmann and Ballack, they managed to come so far, and so good.
I was expecting Klose to score, to add on to his scoreboard, but he din. Still, he's the Man of the Match, being the architect of the 2 goals scored.
It was indeed an exciting game. The next round, they might be facing a stronger opponent, Argentina. Still hope they'll win and move on to the semis.

Catching the Argentina vs Mexico match later, at 3am. Expecting Argentina to trash Mexico.
Wanted to catch all the 2nd round matches, but couldnt coz of work. These matches are so much exciting, like the Portugal playing against Nederlands. It's hard to predict which will win, but they are playing at 3 am on Monday's morning. Haiz.
--------------------------------------------------------
Lukas Podolski’s adidas +10 team

Well, to begin with, Stefan Wessels would be in goal. Let's say that he is a great person and a superb goalkeeper. And, of course, he's a former team-mate of mine with Cologne.
At left-back, I would have Roberto Carlos, who has been one of the best players in that position for a long time now.

Then, as central defenders, I would have my father, who was a professional footballer himself playing alongisde Lucio. I think that Lucio is one of the best defenders in the world at the moment with a lot of pace going forward, but my father was also an excellent defensive player in his time.
The right-back in my team would be Cafu, who also applies a lot of pressure up front and is simply a superb defender.
As for my number six, it would have to be Patrick Vieira, and alongside him would be Ronaldinho and Bastian Schweinsteiger.
On the left, I couldn’t pick anyone else but Pavel Nedved.

As for up front, I have to tell you that I would would love to play next to Ronaldo. When it comes to football, he is one of my all-time idols.
------------------------------------------------------
Friday's work has been okie, well not exactly okie. It was busy. Was rushing to meet the dateline, and I was so anxious to finish, that I made a numer of mistakes. Damn, all the numbers are making me blurred. Lunch was at Maxwell, it's my first time eating there. There are so many good, cheap and nice food. Someday, even if nt working thr, shld go thr and try other dishes. It was a surprise tt Rayneh joined us for lunch. Usually, he lunch-in lo. As usual, the guys were toking non-stop about wat to bet for the matches, and after lunch, dey went down to pool again.

My first experience of tutoring. Disastrous, is all i can describe, somemore, he demanded to have it on weekdays when i cant even make it. Call the agent le, she told me go for twice b4 ending the tuition. No choice, I unwillingly agree.

Flo called me, telling me about a month job offer, admin one, earning 1.5K. OMG..so much??!! i couldnt believe it. Temp for one month only lo, haiz, too bad, i already had a job liao. So offer the job to jon. Jon, if u get the job, u own me a treat lo. So high pay lo..

sat was spent at home, slacking and sleeping. Falling in and out of sleep, giving me a headache. Dunno why, i still feel very tired.

something is just bugging me. I just cant be there to tell u tt i'm okie. It just disturb me.
Some unspoken words hurt too much and talking about them will make me feel again. I dont tink tts wat i want..

how do u numb ur skin after the warmest touch?

Blue October - Congratulations

Congratulations
Would you like to take a walk with me

My mind it kind of goes fast

Today is just a weird day, why is suddenly all the good things happening to me, and why m i in such a good mood? ??-_-??
First, it's about work..
After yesterdae a day of off from work, today went back office seeing the tables piled up with pprs. Still, i managed to clear them before lunch and in the afternoon was busy with the idms, which reuqired to be processed every twice a year. I'm so "fortunate" to participate in this this first half of the year. All have to be cleared by tml, and since tml i couldnt stay to do OT, i did OT today. Despite the busy day, i dun understand why i still feel so happy, smiling away during work..MAD!!
Lunch was great today, though it's just porridge at Amoy with fellow colleagues. The porridge is delicious with raw fish..yum yum.
Boss called me during the middle of my work, asking me if i could extend my work contract for another 3 months. Wah!! I rejected telling her, i gonna be back in sch.
Ya, i started to like working at deutsche le. Though it's not as happening and noisy as compared to OCBC, i seem to like the serenity of the office when everyone is so busy with their stuffs. In fact, i learn a lot of stuffs this time, processing, another stage of banking industry. i got all the first hand experience of being a processor, in the credit operation team, dealing with all the incoming funds from local and abroad. It's just so fun..

Guess wat, i gt my first tuition kid. Going to start the first tuition soon. It's a guy, and heard he failed his chem n bio, might be another lazy bum like kl's tuition kid??hahha. Was telling mum about it. She jokingly made fun of me, asking me to scream at him, pinch him, beat him. well, tt's how i teach my bro when we were young, in sec sch.

Mum is weird todae too. I rmb i just briefly mentioned about the beijing homestay once, and today, she suddenly asked me if when i'm gg beijing..?????? i din even mention i wan to go, coz i noe i gt no $$. Immediately i told her, not gg la, i no $$. Then she surprised me, asking me the cost all these and if anione gg, and ask me to go..wow..mum sponsoring me the trip w/o me pestering to go?? This is so weird..hahahahha..ya, since mum had already mentioned bout it, i dun mind gg if the cost is not too high and the trip will definitely worth it, for i'm gg to visit my future sch in 2 yrs time. This is so amazing...

okok..back to Italy and Cezch match now!! Hope Czech win, my BAROS!!!

Its the first time i cant differentiate this feeling...

After the previous post, decided to have my own +10 team too..haha..

My +10 team

Goalkeeper: Oliver Kahn

Defender: Philip Lahm, Cafu

mid: Steven Gerrard, Michael Ballack, Deco, KAKA

Forwards: Arjen Robben, Miroslav Klose, Henry Thierry

Others, also my favourites: Sergio ramos, Roberto Carlos, David Beckham, Frank Lampard, Rafael van Der Vaart, Torstn Frings, Ronaldinho, Ruud Van Nisterooij, Lukas Podolski, Milan Baros, Raul, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres.

Exciting match tonight but cant watch..haiz..3am.
Netherlands against Argentina. Argentina is now top of the group with a larger goals difference.
However, relying on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, Netherlands is placed at 3 while Argentina is at 9. Looking at the recent performances, it seems that Argentina is the stronger one. haiz, but i'll still support Netherlands tonight.

Cant wait for tml's match too, at 10pm, Czech against Italy. Many ppls guess it'll be Ghana and Italy to proceed to the nxt rd, but somehow, i hope Czech will move thru..

Ecuador 0-3 Germany

Yeah! As wat i expected and wat Klinsmann wanted, the Germans won the match, topping Group A and hopefully avoid the nxt match with England.
The Germans played well, scoring 2 goals in the first half by Klose, and he became the top scorer for the moment. Well done! Then came the 3rd goal by the young Podolski, it's his lst world cup goal!. the Germans were contented after the 3rd goal and Klinsmann started to replace some of his best men, Klose, Frings etc in the 66th to prepare them for the future matches. Despite the high score, the Germans continue to attack.
Yeah! The Germans won! SO HAPPY!!! They won with 3 goals and a total of 15 shots though Ecuador had a higher % of ball possession...
And Captain Ballack was the Man of the Match.

While over at Hanover, Poland won Costa Rica 2-1.

It seems lyk Group A matches have cum to an end....
Germany topped the group followed by ecuador, poland and costa rica

too excited to sleep liao..hahah

Man of the Match

The Germany Team
---------------------------------------------------
Lionel Messi’s adidas +10 team

With so many great players from the past and present to choose from, I would find it impossible to choose just ten. So I’m going to go for the team I played in that won the U-20 World Cup last year in Holland.

That would mean that, in goal, I would have Oscar Ustari, who is a fantastic guy and a good friend.

Then, at the back, I would have Ezequiel Garay, Gabriel Paletta, Gustavo Cabral and Lautaro Formica. Those four guys make up a great defensive line which is always really solid and very difficult to break through.

In midfield, just like in the U-20 tournament, I would have Fernando Gago, Rodrigo Archubi and Pablo Zabaleta, all excellent players.

Then, up front, would be Sergio Aguero, Pablo Vitti and myself. I think that that was a great team and one I would always be happy to play in.

Apart from those ten players, I am very lucky that I already play with the footballer I most admire at the moment, Ronaldinho. I’d love to carry on playing with him forever because he’s a great player to watch, and to play with.

The same goes for another Barcelona player I like a lot, Deco. He has great skills. Rafael Marquez is also someone I’ve always admired and wanted to play alongside, and I’m delighted to have that opportunity.
-----------------------------------------------------
Raul: My adidas +10 team

The goalkeeper I would choose for my team is Iker Casillas. I think he’s a great keeper and he’s also a good friend. He definitely has some impressive qualities and he’s still very young.

My first pick in defence would be Paolo Maldini because I think he’s one of the greatest professionals there has ever been at world level. His career has been faultless.

Next to him I’d have Fernandeo Hierro, more or less for the same reasons, and because I’ve been lucky enough to play with him and there have been many times when he’s helped me a lot.
At left-back, I would have Roberto Carlos because in that position he’s the best, he continues to be the best, and it would be difficult to find another player with his qualities.

On the right, I’d have another Brazilian, Cafu. It seems that the older he gets, the faster he runs, and his performances remain impressive.

In midfield, Fernando Redondo would wear the number 5 shirt because to me he’s a very special person and, apart from that, he has all the qualities, both human and professional, to be in this team.
I’d also have Zinedine Zidane in there because of his elegance and for the fact that he’s a player of a different stature who’s great to watch and who would teach me a great deal.

After that, they’re all forwards, so we’d have a mixture. First, Roberto Baggio, because he’s one of my idols. I always enjoyed watching him play, he was a real quality player. I also played against him once and I’ve got his shirt as a souvenir.
After that, I would have another childhood idol of mine, Paulo Futre, who played for Atletico Madrid. I enjoyed watching him very much when I was a young boy because in those days, of course, I was a fan of Atletico.
The last one would be the player I’ve most loved watching, and that’s Diego Maradona. I would have loved to play with him and I think that if he was in the team, we’d have a good time playing together. To play in a forward position alongside him would be a huge honour.
----------------------------------------------------
Steven Gerrard’s adidas +10 team:

My goalkeeper would have to be Peter Shilton. He's the best keeper England have ever had in my opinion, so I think we’d be very strong in that department if I were to pick him.

Right-back is a difficult one because there are so many good players in that position, but Cafu just edges it. He’s still going strong at 36 now and, personally, I think he’s been the best around in that position for many, many years.

At left-back, I would play another Brazilian, Roberto Carlos. I think he’s got a great engine, he gets up and down the pitch, defends well and also scores good goals. What more can you ask?

In the centre of my defence, I’d have to go for Bobby Moore, the former England captain. He’s a legend back home and, having watched videos of him action, I can see that he was a great leader. Alongside him would be John Terry, who is obviously a team-mate of mine with England. He’s a great leader and an awesome player.

On the right of midfield, I would go for Luis Figo. He has been named both FIFA World Player of the Year and European Player of the Year in the past and he is still a fantastic footballer.
On the opposite wing, my choice would be John Barnes. He was a big hero of mine when I was a kid for Liverpool and, when he was at his best, he was a really exciting and very skilful player to watch.

Zinedine Zidane would be the man I would have alongside myself in the centre of midfield. For me, he is the best attacking midfielder in the world.
Up front, I would pair Marco van Basten and Thierry Henry together. I think Van Basten scored the best goal I’ve ever seen in the final of the European Championships in 1988. As for Henry, he is the best player in the Premiership at the moment in my opinion.
----------------------------------------------------
Michael Ballack’s adidas +10 team

In goal, I'll have Oliver Kahn. Not only because he was my team-mate at Bayern, but because every day in the national team I'm a witness to his ambition, his charisma and his willingness to succeed. He has achieved so much, he's been playing at the top level for years and he's been voted the best goalkeeper in the world on a number of occasions, which speaks for itself.

At right-back, I would choose Cafu. Not only is he a very strong defender, but I totally admire his ability to play dynamically, to come in at the right moment on one of his long, overlapping runs. It’s incredible how fit he still is considering his age. He certainly isn’t Brazil captain and a world champion for nothing, and that's why he'll be my right-back.

In the centre of my defence, I would start with Jurgen Kohler because he had such an impressive career. He was a player with truly German virtues, absolutely classical, and was a strong man-marker. I think he put the fear in a lot of strikers.

Then I would have Lucio, whom I played with at Bayern Munich and Leverkusen. He has such a great personality and is the epitome of a winner. He is also incredibly dynamic as a defender and very strong on the attack, so all in all, I think we would have a good central defensive partnership with him and Kohler.

On the left I'd play Paolo Maldini because, like Cafu, he has been very strong in that position for more than a decade. Andy Brehme is another player I completely admire in that position, but with Maldini would be a good choice because he has such a tremendous personality and is a great sportsman.

Emerson would be my defensive midfielder. I played alongside him at Leverkusen and he was one of the strongest players I've ever seen. He's got it all: power, dynamism, a goal threat, composure, charisma. All in all, he’s an amazing presence on the pitch and makes very few mistakes. I've always been impressed by that. He's also still maintaining that high standard, that's why he is my top man for this position.

I would be in the middle with Emerson, of course, and my left-midfielder would be Ze Roberto, whom I have been playing with for a long time. To me he's one of the best dribblers around and is very skilful. When he's fit you won’t find a better player for this position.

On the right, I'd play Ronaldinho. He's more of an offensive player, of course, but I have to find a place for him somewhere because he is one of the best players in the world at the moment. He's got amazing technique, is very dynamic and can do anything with the ball. That's it in a nutshell, and that's why I think there's really no contest for his position.

Up front, I'd like to see Marco van Basten in this team. I know he's not playing anymore, but I think that, as a striker, he was absolutely perfect - he could do anything.

Next to him, I think would have to be Pele. What a feast for the eyes he was. Pele was simply one of the all-time greats, so he would have to be in my team.

germany against ecuador and poland against costa rica matches starting in half hour time....

Start of 2nd week of work...
It's the start of the new week and everyone in the office is busy with their stuffs, hoping to clear them by the end of the week. Stressful atmosphere once again filled the whole office early in the office.
However, with the world cup in the germany, almost everyone in the company is excited about it. Every morning, the first topic mentioned is definitely about world cup: the matches the night before and which teams to bet on for the night. Even during lunch, the guy colleagues are teaching us how to gamble -_-'''
They warned us not to bet on tonight's matches since both ger n ecu had been confirmed moving on to the nxt rd, and the game is now controlled by the coaches to c if dey wanted to mit the English for the nxt rd. duh..of coz the germans dun wan to mit becks n co la..tt wat i alwaze been hoping for ma..
Work has been quite slack. Maybe coz i've get used to wat i'm doing, and tend to finish a bit too fast and thus, slack quite abit, ended up surfing the net.argh..but dey banned the used of web messenger..haiz..
Get to know the colleagues better also. They are friendly when not at work, but when cum to work, they only care about those pprs on their tables. Many of them used to work in citibank, no wonder they are bringing the stress and compeitive environment into here..hahah..

Time to go exercise soon and swim for my evaluation..
Keep eating non-stop..
All work and world cup with no exercise making me FAT..

Haiz, din watch last night spain's match. Heard the Spanish played well with Torres scoring 2 goals and Raul 1, which made Torres the top scorer at the moment.
England against Sweden later at 3am, haiz..couldnt watch again. Dun feel lyk watching the repeats after knowing the results, esp the excitement will be gone. Hope england will win and stayed top in Group B, even a draw with Sweden will maintain their position then..
Germany's match starting liao. Hope the Germans will win.

It's just too tough, too difficult for me...
I thought i have already forgotten about it, but i realised i didnt. I'm just trying to hide away from it. When i read thru my archives, the memories flown back, floating in my brain, thinking about the impossible.
Maybe, someday i'll forget, the wound will heal and when i tink of it, it'll no longer hurts...

the fire fades away
most of everyday
is full of tired excuses
but it's hard to say
i wish it were simple
but we give up easily

Insensitive - Jann Arden

How do you cool your lips after a summer's kiss?
how do you rid the sweat after the body bliss?
how do you turn your eyes from the romantic glare
how do you block the sound of a voice you'd know anywhere?

Oh, I really should have known...
by the time you drove me home
by the vagueness in your eyes
(your) casual good-byes
by the chill in your embrace
the expression on your face
that told me
maybe you might have some advice to give
on how to be insensitive

How do you numb your skin after the warmest touch?
how do you slow your blood after the body rush?
how do you free your soul after you've found a friend?
how do you teach your heart its a crime to fall in love again?

Oh, you probably wont remember me
its probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
who went ahead and fell for you
I am out of vogue,
I'm out of touch
I fell too fast,
I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
on how to be insensitive

Oh, I really should have known...
by the time you drove me home
by the vagueness in your eyes
(your) casual good-byes
by the chill in your embrace
the expression on your face
that told me
maybe you might have some advice to give
how to be insensitive

(how to be) insensitive (3 times)

Sad song..
how do you block the sound of a voiceyou'd know anywhere...
how do you teach your heart to cryto fall in love again

Waiting..waiting for someone to get back
7 more days..

my memories are like this: individual splotches of paint, diluted - such that they smudge together forming a huge mess, but still, a pretty picture. Abstract??!!

Portugal won the match against Iran and cristiano scored one of the goals, he played well.
Another team has made it to the round of 16.
going for italy and cezch for the matches later..

Finally, the weekend is here. Have been looking forward to it. Not tt i'm gg to have some special outings or anything, i just want the wkend to rest after a week of work. Not that the bank job is tiring me out, in fact, kinda get used to it, and kinda slacked also. its actuallie the world cup that driving me crazy. Everyday after work, rushed home to watch the matches till 1 plus or 2 plus, then nxt morning have to wake up early for work. How can i nt be shagged??!! no wonder the pimples are taking the opportunity to bully me. :(
Pimples are not the only one who bullied me. Sob!!

Why do i always meet bitches? At least i have my close ex-colleagues to be ard when we met the woman in the last job, and tt woman wasnt really against me either. This time, i met one and i have to dealt with such ppl myself, all alone.
Never have i been so so fake, luffing away, sharing stuffs wif the person i loathe. Wat a hypocrite!
Well, todae, i have affirm tt she didnt lyk me either. Who cares then? If she wan to be hypocrite, i'll play along too. Still, she gonna pray really hard that the volcano in me will remain peaceful forever. I wouldnt care if she's gonna be my companion nt though i was new here. I've grown to be an independent gal.
Does it matter wat courses others choose? and wat interest them?
Does it matter which tertiary institutions ppl wan to go?
Does it matter one has a bf/gf and if one is getting a nt?
Does others' future concern u?
Does it matter wat's others are doing?
Well, it might be a matter to the person himself/herself, but certainly not u.
Even if you are just concern, well, why does it seem lyk insults then?!
Or maybe you are just too dumb to phrase it nicely? or u r just bitchy?

Work is not as bad as i have tot ever since i chose to move to another area(still in same office). At least, i wont get to see undesirable creature and my blood vessels wont get to dilate as often. Quite slack. I tried to slow down my work pace, but the more i get familiarised with the work, i seem to slack more. haha..efficient??!! ;p
Stayed up to watch england's match yesterdae and due to insufficient sleep, felt sleepy and tired the whole day, almost gave tt bitch a chance to insult me. damn..

I tink i'm getting gastric pain soon..shit..

Was watching argentina's match just now. They did unexpectedly well this season. Are they having a high chance of winning the title??!! Many people are hoping to see the Arg playing against Brazil in the finals.
Not hoping to see eng playing against ger nxt rd, wana c more of both teams.haiz.Which means, there is a must for ger to win nxt match, against ecuador. Can they do it?! they must do it!!
Watching the Netherlands match later. Ivory coasta played well the other time, but i hoped netherlands to win. Way to go, Van nis, robben and var der vaart

so orangy..one of my fav color..

Watching the meixco's match later, though dun really noe bout the 2 teams and interested to noe. Ya, just watch for fun, since thr's no work tml.

Ya, just receive the mesg tt tcm students can go for homestay in beijing for a week b4 sch starts, get to know how's the uni life thr is lyk. still wondering wan to go nt. Somemore, thr're so much camps, might clash with the trip too. argh. Cs was telling me to go, just in case i get culture shock in future. Haha, i believe i will experience such lo, and i'm prepared for it, esp tt i'm one hu cant stand dirty environment, and some of u noe la, i just hate hmm..ya..hahahahahaha..but wat attract me thr in 2 yrs time and i cant wait for it will be the olympics..
someday i wana be at the world cup stadium and euro's too!!

How i hope i can in Germany now..

You look so Shagged!!!
tts wat cs told me when she saw me todae..
All the work and World cup fever had made me so tired yet enthu. Everydae after work, i'm so so tired, mentally (esp) and physically stressed, my legs hurt from wearing the stopid heels, but i just cant help but want to catch the wc matches.
Today was really really busy, so much incoming funds and processing to do. Terrible!! i couldnt even have a proper breath at all, and tonight thr's germany match, but i was too lethargic to catch it anymore. One match per night at 9pm is good enuff.

Spain played well tonight, winning at high score of 4 goals. Excellent!! I love spain!!
Ts, i gt new lg le.. He's TORRES Fernando, he played well, and scored the last goal, and so CUTE! and had scored 10 international goals liao lo at the age of 22. I have already crossed van nis oout of the list!;p

Hope Germany will win tonight, to proceed smoothly to the next rd!
Please do not let the Polish stuffs disturb them, esp Klose and Podolski, who both are related to Polish.

Oh ya, ts and kl, if u galz wan, can mit for dinner on fri after wrk. Its my dress-down day!!

2nd day of work..
Actuallie, the new working environment is not as bad as i tink. Everyone in the office is nice and friendly, even dose u do not noe, they'll smile and tok 2 u in the lift lobby or office, but when they cum to work, they are so so serious, busy with their own stuffs. Even those colleagues sitting near me start to joke and tok 2 me.
It's not as stressed as i tink after all. Maybe i have familiarised myself with the system and working alone w/o any fren isnt bad thing. The quiet environment allowed me to concentrate and able to do my job well. In fact, i learn a lot of stuffs, esp now in this dept. Used to be in credit card dept last bank job, now in securities. Maybe coz i'm doing my work alone and w/o any disturbance, i finished my work too early. In the mid afternoon, i was already slacking thr, mesging, disturbing my frenz and surfing the net. Unfortunately, they put a block on the web msn. Couldnt surf the net for too long, esp when i'm sitting just right in front of big boss's rm. Must show good behavior in working lo..lol..In the end, i went to my fellow colleagues and asked if they nid any help nt. All of them seem so busy lo, doing non-stop or maybe they are doing far too slow..lol..So end up, i did OT todae. Hmm..extra pay lo, slightly more than 10 bucks, so happy!!
Oh ya, ts..gt a few cute german colleagues wrking in the same office diff dept leh..hahah, and i'm so in love with a fellow colleague's accent and slang, esp when he spoke to the American and German customers, so nice!!
OKie, i seem so biased. Cant help, since young, i lyk Germany a lot, followed by england.lol
even when we were young, i mentioned tt, " Hitler is my idol!!" haha..but after history lesson, realised tt Hitler was born in Austria, no wonder he nt as gd-looking and tall..;p

Shit, i caught a fever. A extreme high fever. World Cup Fever!! -_-'''
Finallie, one asian team won a match!
Ballack playing tml's match, but is at 3am.Haiz, i wan to watch him play!!!

it's things like this that stands out and make you notice and remember. it's things like this that makes you smile...from the inside.

first day of work..
The feeling of working in a new environment is so diff. I still prefer to work in ocbc then. I miss my ex-colleagues, the crazy lunch we had together, the funny jokes and gossips we shared, the annual events and celebrations within the dept, the tea breaks we had at coffeebean. Damn, i miss all tt.
now i noe wat other said bout the competitiveness wrking in a foreign org. everyone just do their own stuffs, seldom bother bout others. To make it worse, the work is so boring, and so so much to learn and rmb, my brain gonna burst soon, looking at the diff currencies...
Ya, come to tink of it, i only lyk the name of the bank, and tts the only thing tts cool bout the job.hahah..
Actuallie the staffs thr r nt bad, nice, but keep to themselves. Poor me, alone, suffering thr. Like wat ts said, tink bout the $$$. ya, shall tahan for one month.
yeah, tml having lunch wif an ex-colleague hu just wrking near me, so happy. and the place i'm wrking nw is so near the place i used to wrk...revive my memories...

Netherlands against serbia and montenegro match is over..
netherlands won by one goal, and it was by robben. A pity tt van nis was subst out in the 69 mins, and the mom definitely go to robben, who is just 22 yrs old..He played well and had so many shots..
It was a match full of fouls, yellow cards and subsitutions..

last night england match was boring though. Even the goal was own goal.-_-'''

Deutschland
World cup started yesterdae with the host, Germany playing the opening match against Costa Rica and the Germans won, 4-2. Hurray!!!
So happy when one of my favourite teams won. Ya, i'm supporting England and Germany.
Yesterdae night was spent watching the exciting match. Though it was not as exciting as watching with a bunch of frenz, i was accompanied by stan's and ts's mesgs commenting on the match. It was just like two years ago, when the few of us were crazy over the Euro cup just before the prelim practical examinations, and it was then i started to like netherlands coz of van nis and portugal coz of christiano.
The first goal was scored by ts's cutie Philip Lahm which was then equalised by CRC's Wanchope. Was so worried at tt moment, praying hard that the German players will score another goal. Fortuantely, about 5 minutes later, Klose scored one more to put the Germans in the lead, and i was screaming like mad especially after Klose's 2nd goal of the day.
Haiz, but my fav ballack din get to play coz of his injury, so sad. At least i managed to see him a number of times on the bench, and the goalkeeper Kahn didnt get to play also. I prefer him to Lehmann lo, he's so so much better, looking at the performance during his last world cup. Haiz, and their defend is so terrible, which might mean they might not go far..sad..
oh ya, not forgetting the new young rising German star, Lukas Podolski. He is only 21 years old lo. He just remind me of Christiano during the Euro Cup when he was another young player in Portugal.

Lukas Podolski
Oh ya, saw a picture of the German's reserve jersey, red top and white bottom. So ugly. i still so much prefer their white top and black bottom lo..lol..

The other match played last night was Poland against Ecuador.
Poland 0 - 2 Ecuador.
So, Deutschland is now top of the group..yeah!!!
Germany will be playing against Poland for their next match on 14 June..sad!! i cant watch coz its weekday and have already started work in Deutsche Bank. SAD!!
ts, must update me what happening k??!! sad..cant watch Ballack play..

Tonight there will be 3 matches, and another of my fav team, England will be playing at 9 tonight, against paraguay.
Hope the British will win their opening match, usually they failed at their first game..haiz..
The other 2 matches will be too late to catch le..haiz..
Sweden vs Trinidad
Argentina vs Côte d'Ivoire
Haiz, the netherlands and portugal matches are on sunday night, and i couldnt catch it coz next dae is the start of my work..haiz..so sad!!

yeah..world cup and work gonna accompany me this whole month...
oh ya, and my one month work seem to clash with the world cup..hmm..must be someone took leave during this month and i have to take over his/her work..lol

Sometimes, sitting down, chatting with a close friend, catching up with the gossips about the people around you can be fun...
Friends of a feather shop together
The afternoon was spent with ts, recalling dose memorable uniformed days..the silly little jokes we had, updating each other on the things happening ard us, looking at the little precious moments ornaments which we both adored..

Cant wait for the world cup...
Germany, England, Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, France, Brazil............

i was asked if the feeling is already gone..
unfortunately, it did..

Starting work at the "in" bank next wk, which also means less meet-ups with friends and less shopping trips..
haiz, suddenly dun have the urge to work..

my evaluation gonna be in july..
haiz, hope i can be part of the team..

Love this song now..

for you i will - Teddy Geiger

Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all
Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet
As what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
and cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will

Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar, I've crossed you in hallways
a thousand times, no more camouflage
I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to tryI'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you

If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room
I would

That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
To get through to you

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannon ball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I willYou always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will
For you I will

Romance does not change regardless of the era. Ano man ang panahon, kapag may dalawang taong nagmamahalan, di sila mapipigilan ng kahit sino man. In this case, two people will be pushed together despite the fact that they do not like each other.
