Neglect

distressed
I have to admit I never have anything interesting to write about. I'm never a writer. And my English is bad. My best grammar-policewoman (Perlin darling), never fail to point out one error or two every now and then. Not that I resent that :)
It's been a month since I joined Friendster. I have to admit it's quite slow moving now in terms of business coming in. But everyday questions on technical stuff and follow ups are enough to keep me occupied. Not to mention regular chats with friends on MSN. Thank God for instant messaging.
I've been torn lately on who to visit first, Linus or Perlin, and when to do it. I've just started this job and it seems inappropriate to take a long vacation so soon. Not to mention the fact that I also need time to save enough money to do so.
There's always something to pay for. Bills, insurance, school (I just blew 1K plus), stuff I wanna get (just the Macbook lately. Can't hardly blame me :)) and money to put aside for the flat and marriage. I'm also running against time to take up my degree.
I get so turned off by so many commitments I become freaked out by getting married, push away the thought of paying for it and later for the flat, to reno and all. Won't even consider having kids anytime soon because of the lack of savings. I push away plans to take up my degree cos my friend's plea for me to visit them soon seem more urgent and I want to soothe their pain and loneliness as soon as possible.
It's a nightmare. I recently felt the pressure to show my love and support to my friends. Honestly, I don't have the energy sometimes when I'm doing my own fire fighting. It may seem pale in comparison to my friend's plight but, I can only do so much. I keep telling myself that I need to take care of my needs first, but I'm slowly losing that battle. What a headache.
I wish I had more time for everything.

2009 here I come!
Dec. 29th, 2008 | 10:05 pm
As you can tell, I’m so looking forward to the new year. Why? Cause I know something big is going to happen then.
Maybe I’ll get a new job, in a company that I’ve been aiming to get in for some time now.
Maybe I’ll finally get to go to Europe for a holiday.
Maybe I’ll get a job overseas, a chance to experience a new country, culture and people.
Maybe I’d finally get rid of my braces (Goddamnit!) !!
2009 is a make-it-or-break-it year for me. And by hook or crook I better make it!
There’s one thing I know for sure that will happen. And that is me moving into my new home in Yishun! For those who know where I used to live in Yishun, my parents bought a unit at the block just right in front of our old block. What a joke eh?
I finally get to have my own room again. I hope to add in a new television, LCD of course. :) Maybe I’d get a Wii to complete my entertainment needs. But I rather get that as a birthday present…. HINT!
And maybe, just maybe, you guys would finally come over my place and stay till the wee morning playing mahjong etc!!! Serangoon is too goddamn far for me!
Ok I’m off to play a game now. I rock!

Being Twenty-something - we all like to call it the "Quarter-life Crisis"
Jul. 22nd, 2008 | 02:35 pm
mood:
mellow
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job ... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot don't seem as fun.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out !!

We both can now talk about the past without feeling sad inwardly (at least, not for me).
This has turned into a friendship with so much love that one may easily mistake it for romance. But no, this is not that kind of love.
Slowly, bit by bit, the secrets are revealed. And now I wonder, does the friendship have to go through the test of time before we can truly be honest about our feelings and thoughts? Does being apart play an important role too?
Somehow, I'm glad it all panned out. I love you, but I'm no longer in love with you.
And that's just fantastic.

| What Jane Chan Means |
![]() You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. |

contemplative
For Stacy, I think it might be because of James, her boyfriend (or is he not?). Or maybe, it's to experience another working environment. Or maybe it's just to get away from Singapore's working pace. I dunno, all I know is that I'm proud of her, that she has the guts to pack up and leave.
Be it for a few months or a year, gosh I wish I can grow the balls to do it. But being the typical Singaporean, we want to be sure that we will be safe and the future in whatever country that we are going to, is bright.
So we watch the news and read on all the horrors of the rest of the world and are glad that Singapore is more or less safer and so we decide that it's best to stay put. And so life goes on around us and we, like tiny shiny bits floating in a water globe, wonder and dream of how the world outside is like.
I don't wanna be the scaredy cat any longer. Yet the practical mind tells me that I can't just pack up and leave without much money and without a care for others. Then again, if I don't move my ass to do something about it, I'll never leave this place now would I?
God give me strength!

sad
By 25th April, my department will be moved to another section in the office. And I hate, HATE where I would be sitting at.
Right now I'm sitting at the end of a row of desks with a wall at my right. People hardly walk here so I have all the privacy and no disturbance.
My new place will also be at a corner, BUT it will be the first table at a row of desks and my back facing a big space where people can be walking about! URGH! It's so open!!!
It means less blogging, surfing random websites, watching movie trailers on quicktime... Basically less everything and more work!
I'm so SADDDDDD~~!!!

It's gonna be at Punggol (bloody hell). It's an LRT station away from Punggol station and it's called Danmai Grove. The LRT station is called Danmai (Obviously.).
Anyways I'm hoping to get the 16th floor. It should be the highest floor since I didn't see anything higher than that on the brochure they sent to us. It's gonna face the LRT tracks, but it's not too bad. The block at we are aiming at is at a cross junction and there's gonna be a sports stadium and swimming pool diagonally opposite! Yippee!!
You know, my colleague was kaopei-ing that she and her boyfriend applied for a flat dunno how many times but did not win even one ballot. Me and Dongli tried 4 times, 3 in Punggol and 1 at Boon Keng. And we won all of them. Buwahahah!!!!
We had to drop the first 3 becos in the first ballot, the unit that we wanted was taken up. For the second, we realised it's a bit far from the LRT station and we preferred Damai Grove. The last one is at Book Keng. That's the most expensive as it's built like a condominium where it would have the full fittings like air-con in the living room, bedrooms etc. Everything is done up from the walls to the floorings and windows. Not only was it so damn expensive (Half a mill for a 4-room flat), we didn't want our place to look like everyone else's flat. So... NEXT! :-D
So there, if you do not know what to give us for house warming, do not fear! I will come up with a list of things we need and wouldn't mind having. And you don't have to crack your little cute heads on gift ideas.
I've got it all covered!!!
I love my friends :)

Hey guys, Friday was great to have all my close friends with me and Sunday was a smash! You guys are great and if I ever not shown how much you mean to me, I ought to be spanked!!! By Dongli of cos *teehee*
But seriously, I wouldn't be a happy person if not for you guys in my life (Uh oh, emo time). Of cos Dongli will definately make me happy, that's for sure. But we all know, that's not enough. My life is complete with people whom I can REALLY call friends.
Like real friends that I can count on to be there for me, emotionally and physically (unless that day you're so damn busy you can't meet me then cannot be helped la.).
Oh shit, I just realised it rained during lunch time and only now I remembered I have laundry out for drying. OH NO!!! I hope my tenants helped to bring the clothes in!!!
I know, such abrupt thoughts interrupting this tender moment. I can't help it. I'm domesticated (OMFG) until my mom comes back from Philippines. Which is tomorrow. YAY.
Ok I've gone blank.

Today I'm 26 le!!!! Wallan!
Thanks you guys for the birthday greetings :) I don't know why I'm surprised to get any greetings at all. Hmm, something's wrong with me.
I really can't believe I'm 26. I remembered when I was 18 and 21 like it was only last year. Now I have to tick the check box that indicates "26 - 30" or something like that.
Fucking for more years and I'll be 30. FOUR YEARS!!!! This can't be happening!
But you know what, I don't feel like I'm 26. More so, I don't feel old. I still feel hyper and excited about anything and everything like as if I am still a teenager, only with more wisdom. Heh.
I hope I don't look 26. I'm trying to defy ageing.
I should turn to botox.

I don't know why I stopped blogging... Wait. I think I remember. The time I stopped was the time I started getting jobs and ever since then, I didn't even have the time to check my emails and sometimes chat online.
Recently I've been so stressed up at work and ever since Dongli switch to a new role in MTV, he's clocking 12 - 14 hours of work. Hopefully this is just for the beginning since he's still in the learning stage.
Anyway guys, if we can't go on a hoilday before Linus leaves for Belgium, let's do a chalet and BBQ eh? Grilled food and sleepovers always turns me on :)

I cannot say there is not much pain - In fact inking on certain areas were pretty painful like FUCK! Thank God my design is very simple and small. It was over in half and hour.
Dongli's one took about 2 hours plus man. And that's becos it's covering his whole calf. His second session to finish up is after he gets back from India. Poor pipi!
I started out small becos well, I didn't feel ambitious yet and I needed to get this one tattoo first before I move on to anything else. This first is special becos I'm proud of myself and what I have become (even though I'm not exactly a high-flyer). If you see it, you may not be even be impressed. It's simply my name, and I just don't know how to descibe how I feel about it but be assured that it feels good. :)
