    Freshly back from KL now..after a gd sleep..now back in my cosy home...

    Spent plenty of time around in that area near Bejaya, KL..not very sure abt the name though...
    Places like Plaza Lok Yat, Sungei Wang ....


    There my mum and co was stocking up for the business and mi was looking at for the 1st time..sooo many different kinds of accessories at one go...

    Eating hawker style once in a longtime is quite interesting as in SG..we are used to foodcourts and air-con eateries..coffeeshop is still a class above hawkers..haha..well..looking at pple walking past whilst eating..heee..


    Night Market was another highlight where its quite amazing at how fast they can set up the stall..in 30mins..all night market booths can be set up .. and start to block the path of pple..slowing our speed to look and patronise their goods..yep and the temptation of the price forced mi to buy a watch for myself...haha

    Next up was the taking of pix ard that area..which the Petronas Tower and Twin Towers caught our attention..Went to the top of the multi-storey carpark to take somemore..and even went nearer to the TwinTowers for betta view..


    Took their MRT/LRT/Monorail(wateva one)..and have to say that i am fortunate to be in SG..Queueing to buy train tix is certainly not one of the way to spent time after having fun ... well..especially at the Sungei Wang station (seems like ClarkeQuay) ...longgggggg queue...
    Not to mention the public buses (r they?) but i seriously think walking is walk too faster than those buses..traffic is a problem there..

    Being a nightspot and pub/clubbing area in SungeiWang..saw many diff kinds of pple..haha..specifically at those transexual personal..well..have to say that Thais are betta at that ..haha..no comments..

    2nd Day was basically a toned-down day...sightseeing and topping up of stomach..
    Was at Times Square which is real big..(than Vivo maybe)..interested in the roller coaster ride there..but time constrain but i think i will go on my own someday..haha
    Seeing the stuff there is real tempting for me to shift my budget to "procure" my needs from there...prices are cool for bulk purchases all at one time ... if the budget is there...
    Although still not quite used to one time big purchase though..haha
    But Times Square looks adequate for a 1-2day stay in order to complete shopping for the whole place ...

    An interesting trip..being the previous one is at Sunway Lagoon..haha.
    Hmmm..thinking of back to the Times Square (when $$$ comes in..haha)

    Few days ago i was complaining sbout having nothing to do and boredom for the past few days and here it is...

    Basically nothing productive has been done other than producing faeces, and spending time infront of the laptop..playing games like no tomorrow and watching tv like MediaCorp/StarHub is going bust anytime soon...
    Could possibly be long long time again before i get another such extended holidays though...so i refrain from telling pple how pitiful i am of staying at home..haha..

    Had another farewell lunch with the lunching kakis on Thurs - supposedly for XH ba - at BPP...and after it i went back to ALB to settle some stuff..haha..wanted to collect my eClaires only..then was caught and "invited" back to the office..
    Suddenly, my appearance is so fannatic tat so many pple came to crowd ard ..haha..macham star like tat..alright la..receive another rd of well wishes and small chats and stuff..
    Quite touching when some took my "thank-you" email with quite serious and commendable comments..haha..i tot they would juz think its juz another farewell email from another young chap so eager to leave..well..afterall i really wrote that email with sadness and from the bottom of my heart...

    Linking up was today which is also the 4th Yr!!haha
    Watched "Mission Sex Control" ..nothing offensive just a plain comedy with a direct objective involved...not surprising if nobody knows this movie..sometimes i think i am quite gd in watching movies from Mars...haha..However, its not too bad though..
    Next was JacksPlace which we had a nice meal though..very full indeed..haha
    Looking forward to the yr ahead!

    Well, for this current moment..i am unable to slp..becos i am trying to ton for the night..the morning thats coming up i would be joining my mum & co up north to KL for a weekend trip..not very excited becos my mind is quite blank now..juz wanna keep myself tired enuf to slp on the car..haha..else would be darn boring looking at trees and cars for 6hrs continuous..maybe its a stupid way..well..i am a rookie in travelling dah...

    Also, Mr Kilo would be back from Aussie tmr..haha..give him couple of days to switch back to Sg-mode and i think can jio him out to spend $$$ and help boost SG's economy liao ...haha..
    Congrats too to nu'er for a well done FTE..haha..quite amazing though..cos it almost slipped my mind abt it..i only know she is going for something sometime this month(practical or FTE)..heee...well..gd that she did it liao...another step towards being a driver..and i would have another driver frend..haha..(useful de...heeee)
    -cannot say much..seeing this she will "wat sia" me again..-

    My long-lost verbal-fighting skills were back when i managed to see MsHuLi on MSN today ...haha...she haben lost hers yet ...haha..but kindof nice la..cos longtime since i get some1 her standard back then..heee...stupid la..
    Nice to know that she would be graduating in another 6months..waliao..every1 is a grad liao lo..well..though studies is now no longer my priority thingy..just feel that slight jealousy..haha..Nvm..i shall work the other way round..Hard Work..!!haha..

    Can any1 die of boredom..
    Quite possibly..haha..i slept 3 times today!


    Had nothing planned in mind today originally...so it was home-staying thru to evening till i was hungry enough to walk out of home to grab something..NASI BRIYANI! .. haha..the famous Northpoint one..
    Sleeping 3times a day is certainly not one of the way to spend Xmas though but nevermind..relax and rest lo...
    Its seriously not about today ... Christmas is not something diedie muz celebrate..Its the thought of the next few days..!!

    Having the next few days to relac-jack is nice but seriously having preview today already..if i am gonna spend the next coming week this way...i would either grow roots or i would juz vomit white foam soon..

    One thing in mind is to join my mum and co to Malaysia..haha..after dunno how many donkey years i am gonna go overseas with my family..HE brought us once..and only time..well..not quite excited but at least that would clear 2 days of this coming week..haha

    Still thinking of what i can do for the next few days... Any1 with any gd ideas!!!???
    Perhaps go rd looking up ex-collegues and army-mates at work ... see how lo..schedule and mood ..haha..

    Once again..Merry Christmas!

    Finally i have ended everything to do with ALB - a fun half-day being involved in the childrens' party! ... Playing games and seeing so many pples kids.. having fun with SK, BS, Drusilla's kids the most ..haha - because they are all BOYS!...
    Gave out quite abit of goodies...M&M's, Chocs, Crackers, Lollipops, "tongkak" sweet and those dolls .. Phew..it was tough..but enjoyable..luckily with the help from YY so that everything went quite smooth..
    Well..I brought the cam but I HAD NO CHANCE TO TAKE PIX...all those VIPs were ard somewhere out there went i intend to take pix...sighzzz...let me remember thru memories instead...

    Also received alot of well-wishes - on top of xmas wishes - well, it was with the bit of sadness as i leave ALB with happy memories with the collegues..
    I believe i should do more than the mere "thank-you" email..but well no time to do more than that but seriously i did thought about it..initially wanted to make up a banana cake but restrained from doing it...if not pple will remember me..for having stomaches..!
    As i started walking out from the office..memories started pouring in on how i came on the 1st day ... what i did..whom i met...blah blah blah...afterall 1yr is also quite a fair bit of time spent...I almost cried..haha.."almost" only..tears rolling in the eyes...i am not EMOtional type..perhaps sentimental..hee..


    It relates me to the day i left Jurong Camp when i admit i cried for 3mins...thinking of 2yrs of day and night spent there...good and bad.. 2yrs of my life there..Well..ALB although is one grade lower..only 8-530(day only) and for 1yr..well..i truly have a sense of belonging here...if not for ...well..nvm ... pple advance ..and advancement have to include such scenarios...

    The journey on MRT back home i was still thinking..making many friends thru ALB was also one of the highlight of my stay here...haha...my last stop was those bunch of mates in 30SCE...and i tot that was it..and amazingly was female friends! haha.. afterall i think 80% of office personnel in ALB are gals..(90% for MMC)..i think my last new female frend is....those in ABC ba..haha..2yrs already..
    Hmm..the "humour" in me was relished ..haha..but i try not to overdo to irritate pple la..not gd..cos i know i not staying for long...

    X'mas eve night was spent at home watching shows taken on RecordTV in Facebook ..haha..its a useful application! ... JY went KTVing with friends..i was TV-ing..I dun normally "celebrate" X'mas though .. The logic is every1 is out there .. no one is at home..haha..so i shall be the one at home..haha..
    Definitely a "Ping-An" Ye ...heee

    Spent my Sat with 2ladies..haha - HY & NGla..
    Movie-ing (WarLord!) and Eating and Hair Extensioning (@ Cine) and end with the drink session at Harry's ...
    isnt too bad a movie though which i could get the idea of wats the movie is trying to bring out..but i feel noticeably is Mr JinChengWu's "blurness" and "simple-mindedness"..save my comments on it..however its definitely worth a $9.50 ticket for me..(although i paid $8)..
    Ending the day was the drink session at Harry's..amazingly it seems quite normal for me liao..haha..no more that greenhorn feeling which i had the last time round...well booze was not the highlight though..basically a gd nice atmosphere to sit down and chill...
    Yep..quite relaxing though as i think the 2gals have been added to my close friends list..haha..of course for my friends have got priviledges de..haha..where we chatted and i was willing to share my stupid happenings that had happended in the past... of course..nice to hear their stories too...


    Sunday was supposed to be a peaceful day after my praying session...however got the call of football-ing..and the itchiness and tempt was so great that i decided to rush myself and go for a wack...
    However, it has been returned with a back pain right now..!! I believe the "sudden brake" when i was charging is the main cause and as of now..it still there - the shooting pain...die tmr dunno how liao..ahdooi...

    Tomorrow would be the day that i have long been waiting for...ending my journey in ALB with a children xmas party..haha..perhaps juz enjoy and relax ..look around and let it stay in my memories..haha(gd ones ofcourse)..*thinking of sneaking cam in...dunno how..we shall see)

    We shall see how it goes on Monday (my last day in ALB!!)

    Passed Judy the 2 baby hamsters ... kindof sad wor.. cannot imagine rearing a pet.. i will get emotional abt it one..can bear to give it away although it is only in my home for 1day!... maybe its too cute and thus .. so unwilling to pass it to her...but afterall gave it away though..with heartpain..
    But i think they must have got quite giddy during my ride to work ...haha..i put them in my helmet bag...!! haha...


    Suppose to be a halfday - meetin up Doreen for the 2nd meeting for the insurance talk - met at 2pm..end at 530pm!!! no breaks at all...record eversince i had lectures in NgeeAnn!! ... wow.. she can really talk..(or i can really listen) ...finally decided some kind of a plan with her though..haha..
    Afterall..she is Mr Wo's cousin-in-law and tat she was very detailed and complete in her presentation, so i find her qute trustworthy enough...next is whether i can cope with the premium coming up..we shall see then...

    Tmr is DONG ZHI - and i was rushing to buy praying stuff, ie. fruits/flowers/TangYuans...phew..tiring sia..
    Awaiting TangYuan fiesta tmr..i have got 80 balls to clear ..haha..abit siao though..hee..of course nt on my own la...

    Lunch & Dinner - Ate to the fullest my stomach can allow..

    Lunch was a treat from Peter, with his winnings from his car plate number...maybe i should buy some tooo!! - BoonLay Raja was the place, near JurongEast..Food was nice and i was there eating to the best of my ability ..haha..heckcaring the buffet coming up...

    Dinner was at RiverCity @ Excelsior Hotel - a gathering with the Tekong mates..haha..enjoyable session where we shared happenings recently and updated each other about relevant frends..

    After reaching home was another disaster..perhaps with too much food in the stomach ..i cannot sleep!!! No mood at all...in the end slept only at 130am...ahdooi...

    Linking up with the last post -
    Thurs was having another farewell lunch with XH,Claire & WN - a peaceful and enjoyable one at Ajisen...real happy to be enjoying last few lunches with nice frends .. well .. sometimes lunch is one of the things i look forward to ... if they turn out well though..


    Fri was a peaceful day too .. enjoying the quietness of not having n Ermo beside..haha..preparing though .. to handover to JT... thinking of how to explain and show wat i have been doing as a planner ... i think she wun have any problem with it...afterall she was my 1st teacher to this job...
    Also, for the 1st time i rode to work..heee..the journey was quite smooth ...less for parts of BKE(KJE) ... reached safe and sound...although met with some difficulties when going home...perhaps due to rain..but everything went well soon after ...

    Then for a long time since dunno when - a Friday night at Cineleisure - my mom and sis having this booth with hair extension, JY was helping out so i went to wait lo....
    Hmm..seen alot of "pple" ...haha


    Sat went to look at bike - recommended with the Kawa KR - quoted a price which seems ok...as assessed by JY's frend, XW also says it was nt too bad though...can be shortlisted...well..perhaps needs abit of thinking still..

    TODAY - a movie day ...watching Lust,Caution & Alvin&the chipmunks at Lido ...
    1st one was cool - some intimate scenes though...story was not too bad but i think it was more of the artistry which impressed more...

    2nd one was enjoyable - cute chipmunks singing and quite amazing...thinking of buying the soundtrack ... hmmm..we shall see...

    With the coming week which would be my final days with ALB - i see myself handing over and get ready for my new phase soon...i dun think JT would have much problem..and i juz hope for a smooth handover and transition...would missed some of the collegues though...still thinking of my farewell email..haha..

    Just hope that these few days would be peaceful (Ermo not around though..hee)...

    Everything was so fast..yest i was telling Mr Wo that my last day would be next wk - considering i take up all my leave, and inform him to see how some1 would takeover from me..
    This Wednesday morning, i was constantly enquired by many people who expressed their shock and surprise to me..saying why its so fast..well..there i was telling them wat happened..
    Some had well-wishes..others expressed their concerns and i shared with them why i had decided...

    Its confirmed that JT would take up my planner duties and i would handover to her...ironically 1yr ago... i was the one who took over from her most of her items (as she was converting to PT)..well..1yr later i am returning back to her...

    As LSP and few others wun be ard next week..it was settled that they wud be giving me a "farewell lunch" today...such ability to arrange something out of the blue and under adhoc circumstances are perfect example of purchasers' capabilities..haha..(we are used to dealings with adhoc requirements..hee) and there whole Procurement gathered at "Hilltop" near Jurong Bird Park..as the name suggests .. its on top of a hill... (very nice view from the restaurant)..
    Very honoured that PSH, CT also made it for this as sometimes i tot to get them join in such activity was tough..haha..luckily my face still rendered them an appearance in wat would be a last department-level lunch..(perhaps only for such occasion only)
    Missing Esther, WN and EW though..but its ok la...honoured enuf..

    In my mind..thinking about a farewell speech already..where i would really have to thannk many people for all the help & guidance thruout this 1yr..hmmm..still thinking how to phrase it appropriately..
    As i look forward to next week, for wat would be my last wk..hmmm..everything muz be handover properly and appropriate..i dun think JT would have much problem..but i think it would be tough for her to do it for long...

    It has been quite a relieve to know that i soon will be free from all the burden of planning for the 2000+ items ... now that most of the pple i know that i will be "graduating" ... it saves me much of those "explanation" as i fully expect the art of relaying msgs to be fully implemented in this kind of scenario...

    If everything goes well..i have abt 5-6 working days left...haha..phew...next problem is to have clear instructions how my planning stuff would be handed over...



    Hmm..trying to look ard for bike..most prob PHANTOM..dun seem interested in those sports bike series..feel awkward to bend the body forward...partly perhaps due to the slipped discs...haha

    Alright..losing concentration as i am watching SINvsTHA..well..sighzzz..SIN losing 2-0..omg...

    Eversince LSP called me in for an "interview" and being seen by a few of those caring collegues..and for which my action and tone is quite clearcut of my intentions to move for greener pastures..i have been seeing many little groups being formed now and then/here and there..suspectingly talking about me??? haha...or i m thinking too much..haha

    Then today when my defence of the news was stripped and i start to leakout quite clear info of my intentions...by those ladies...it was a point of no return..
    I was telling some1 that MMC could be a subsidary of SPH/MediaCorp/MICA...where news spread real fast ...

    My few sentences of intentions spreaded like a disease..within 2-3 hrs...i think the whole clothing know abt it liao..and there came diff pple with diff forms of interview/interrogation/chats ..wateva u call it..Some came with gd intentions..some are over-concerned...

    Diff pple of diff concerns and theories of persuasion to get me to stay .. Mr Wo also had his version too..I can start to understand the pple who show their care and concern..
    It seems i can now see more of those pple from how they wanted to know more abt me..haha..

    I am suppose to give my final answer tmr..12hrs more to go..

    My oh my! - The much-awaited Driving Licence is mine now.!!!
    I have passed today's TP with 14points...well..who cares abt the points when its below 20 to pass...Being a 1st timer and to pass is already a very big achievement for me though..haha

    Looking back at the past 4months of practical training, circuit & road - having the lowest morale during Lesson 2.1/2.2/3.1, where i spent sooo many lessons, for which i juz can't get it right..there i tot i muz pass my TP in the least possible tries as i have enuf practice during the practical training phase...hee..yes and finally i did it...yooohooooo.....

    Next aim - maybe a bike ... subject to the new job requirements...

    Interestingly, after the dance thingy..now i am somewat sensitive to music where i will imagine myself swinging and swaying to the beats..haha..oops..i think i kana hook onto it le..hee..listening to radio and i will start to imagine hand moving, feet moving etc..haha..siao dingdong..
    Was at KTV at JY yest and same too..some of the techono songs..i start to move abt..hee..
    post "One-in-a-million" syndrome perhaps..

    30Nov - ST Log Staff Dinner.. People enjoyed the dinner while we had dinner ... & dance..haha

    Almost 3wks of practice finally will end with a perfomance to vie with other divisions for the "ST Has Talent" contest..well..the fame was nothing .. the prizes were .. ok... but the fun part was the practice and discussions thruout the few wks..to come up with the ultimate resulting performance.. We were 2nd!!!! -- Our sister team .. -Dikir Barak- came in 3rd..

    Well, 1st was from ST Medical with wat many called them "881" .. "Go-Tai" performance..hee

    XH & Claire came up with much of the ideas for the dance and really deserved much credit for it.. whereby a 2nd was definitely a credible result.. People were tipping us for 1st but well..for me ..i am contented enuf to have a 2nd though..means we are also 1st in ALB..haha

    Enjoyed the times and moments of practice though..haha..fun and tiring at times but was great was WN, XH and Claire were pple nice to mingle with...

    Well..much thanks also to pple who encouraged and helped to comment and judge our practices to perfect our performance..e.g. Judy/Florence/Mr Wo/JinTeck/Doris/OP ladies...haha..*my "puppyhand" and "Stiff-body"..

    Naming pple would be important now as i would start to recall pple who helped to make wat i am now..as i have submitted that all-important document already..informing Mr Wo was a tough one..i think he could have been disappointed..but .. well.. told him abt my plans and he wished me well... next up was the Snr one..

    Forget it..leave the negative stuff 1st..
    Once again..Voila - ALB Sensation- Time well-spent and these 3wks and the performance would certainly be much remembered with me...
