received a forwarded mail. and find it very meaningful... Thinking and looking at the foot prints behind me...
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?" The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the padi field and choose the biggest padi and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick." The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big padi, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is a even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the padi field, he start to realize that the padi is not as big as the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted !!!! So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, "this is love. you keep looking for a better one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person.
""What is marriage then?" the student asked. The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick. "The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn. you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get, this is marriage."
Went Isetan with WanQi yesterday . It has been a long long time since I last met her. When I was still in SGX, I meet her twice a week for lunch. Thousands of things to chat leh.
She dun wan to treat me dinner so she leave her work place early [cos she suppose to treat me IF she’s late] . But in the end, I’m late. lolx. [gossiping starts…]
We had a quick dinner and start our shopping. I just can’t believe it.
I “reserve” NOTHING!!!
Nothing catches my eye.
In the end, we went Taka and Wisma to continue and I bought a Redish brown belt from Charles and Keith. Qi supposed to buy the same belt as me [different color lah, she prefer white] then it left only the last piece so she didn’t get it.
We then headed our way home. Gossiped the whole journey home.
Me + ZW + Mummy + Daddy and a few of our relatives went Malaysia for a 1-day Tour. Headed a few temples and pray.
Our 2nd stop is a temple where your are able to touch a Super huge fish. I am so afraid that it would open its big mouth and bite me. But Mummy say must touch then will HUAT AH ! so I touched. Haha but I’m so afraid lor. Hehe…
I Bo Liao the whole afternoon at home, watching Korean Show, "My Gal". headed to Small Aunt's house at CCK and celebrated Mid Autumn.
She cooked her signature dish [deep fried prawn] and many others like pork ribs soup, Fried beehoon, grill Chicken Wings, Luncheon meat [Caven’s all time favourite], Chicken Curry, Stir fried Vege. Mummy bought Otah and made Mua Chee for add-on too!
All the children + Parents went downstairs to carry lanterns. But Me + ZW + Meiqian + HaoJie + MeiYi prefer to to stay at home watch TV. Maybe we need to admit. WE are getting old [Meiqian say de, I never say I old ah] ha ha.

Here are some snap shots taken:
The waitress kept refilling out glass with chinese tea and suddenly we realize their strategy [wan us to fill out stomach with water so we can eat less] so shortly we stop drinking our tea. Hahaha.
I couldn’t remember how many rounds we place our orders [maybe 5 times, maybe more]. If I dun remember wrongly, we have order every single dish from the menu. And repeat the Sweet & Sour pork 4 times ! *faint*
There are 3 different desserts Shawn placed 10 for each of them, meaning each of us have to finish 1 GreenBean Soup + 1 Watermelon Sago + 1 Mango Pudding.
i’m speechless !
I am Super FULL then.
Being the last group to leave the restaurant, we loiter around at the lobby and later decided to head for Paulaner Bräuhaus @ Millenia Walk [this is the 2nd time this mth I am visiting the place] for a beer. The place is extremely packed. In about 15 minutes, we gotten our outdoor table and hang around till about 2am. We all head out way back. Being the Mobile street directory I guided them their way home . Hee hee…
I am very pissed off by a stupid man at the Science Canteen Bazaar just now. Was walking by and looking around the bazaar, while I heard this beautiful voice/ song coming from a CD store. Hold back my foot steps and take a look. It’s Oliver the singer. In my heart, actually I wanted to purchase that CD. Take a look at the price it’s $17.90. Di walkover over and whisper to me “maybe you could get it at a cheaper price in Chinatown” then I asked the person any further discount for it. [ because there’s this sign saying 10% - 30% ]. Shortly after, I place the CD back with the stacks. Di picked up a twin CDs album and that STUPID IDIOT man walk over and say “ I dun think you can afford that” What the @#$% !!! What is he trying to day !. I am so pissed off. Stupid Idiot man !!! I rather get this album from a music shop for $21.90 then to get it for that Idiot man!

It's Friday ! took the A2 bus to YIH then transferred to BTC bus following on transferred to a London cabby. All because we [Me, Steph, Sky, Steven, Violet + Sharon] is heading to Sharon's love nest. it's a very long journey i would say. we went round the whole house and i love her master bed room. its more like a hotel room to me! ate pizza and play some cards then later headed to Bugis for out KTV session. Faith [Steph'f friend] join us for the KTV. But she didn't see at all. Probably it's a drinking session. Me, Steph, Sky, Steven + Faith finished the bottle of Chivas. while we play dices, i was always daring the others by giving a huge number and they give up on me. ha ha. Steven and Sky drank lots too. [including me]
I’m extremely early for work today 720AM . All because Prof Blake is in Singapore (Taxi picking him up at 730am at hotel lobby) and will reach my office at 745am.
The Taxi is REAL on the dot. Reach the lobby of YLL at 745am sharp. I picked him and brought him to DGMS office then started to blog while waiting for the questions to be finalised for Anaes Paper II, (exam start at 1030am)
Yesterday was Anaes Paper I, and that’s my first time administrating an exam. I thought it would be interesting but it’s extremely boring. I almost have fallen asleep in front of the examinees.
My AO, Gladys brought her Notebook there and was doing her work.
Guess wat am I doing !!!
I was sitting next to her and I’m reading my StudyGuide (For my UOL exam). Gladys asked me to go my own things. Oh! I am reporting to her. And will my performance appraisal DROP !!! ha ha ha.. hopefully it won’t. But it’s really very bored. Will reading the StudyGuide, which makes me sleepier and realized that those words in there are Floating. Haiz… *_*
Given the students 30 pcs of writing paper each, It’s not enough!!! Was only a 2.5Hr paper . They start putting up their hands and ask for me. WOW! So many things to write meh??
Therefore, today I decide to give them 40 pcs each, hope they dun ask for paper so often.
I got a good news today ! my dearest friend shares her happiness with me. And little miracle is already 8 weeks old, which means another Rat Baby. On the other hand, there will be 1 more little one calling me “aunty”… I’m getting old !!! Feel like hugging her so much now. Hug the both of them. She will definitely make a good mummy because she’s already a good wifey. Congratulation !!! my dearest friend.

SZ house was like a gambling den. In a living/dining room we can set up 3 different games. Soccer match for the guys, Poker cards for the ladies and Mahjong for guys & gals. Didn’t realize that ZW is a pro in the soccer game. I’ve forbidden him to place PS with I’m around. (Ha ha ha.. cos I wan all of him attention lor) ZW play his virgin match with WQ. WQ look extremely serious (with part of his t-shirt covering the controller <<> dun ask me why he cover it. Cos I also dun know)
We have gotten him a renoma money clip wallet. Hope u like it!
Shortly after, SZ’s neighbours join in the gang. While we are playing, suddenly “BANG!!!” Joe’s princess fall and handed on her chin. My heart dropped. Her gum starts to bleed and everyone was aghast. Luckily no major injury. Phewwww…

I declare, I’m a lazy blogger. Hmm.. my excuse is too bz lor… but I’m really bz… these few weeks were bz with the dedication of the Li Ka-sing Building at NUS bukit Timah Campus. And today is the big day. 4th Sep 2007. Dr Li Ka-shing and MM Lee will be coming to unveil the building name and it will no longer call Blk A, but Li Ka-shing (LKS). Me belongs to the operation team. Need to make sure whatever the VIP need is always ready and most important is to think ahead of it. Yesterday there are so many last minute thingi, Amy (LKS’s right hand lady) come for a site visit. When she went into the holding room I prepare for LKS, she mentions that LKS would need a foot stool. My bosses look at me, and I gave her the most fantastic answer. “ We got to buy 1” . and he needs some cushion too. Hmmm then boss with her the new exec headed Ikea. 2 hours later, came back with the needed stuff. And we start to fixed it. Then actually we manage to fix up everything by 730pm. But we d-li-dare-li drag till 8pm.. haha, the reason is. After 8pm I can claim taxi fare home . HA HA HA!! LKS looks so cute. With his trade mark (the black frame glasses). Smiley and friendly. Belows are some pic I took at the Marquee.
