Well, my trip to Bangkok was cancelled at the eleventh hour due to the coup. I'm not really sure of the reason why but i guess it might be due to the uncertainty...Good in a way, cos i'll not miss a guitar class and yet i can watch SI today...
SI
Hopefully HAdy will win....i think this season show case a better 2 finalist...better fight....
Jonathon has a very stylo look...those rocker type....Hady reminds me of Taufik...Hope i get to see a super duper show tonight
KTV on Thurs
It was a all girls session with Nikki, Adelyn, Jiaen and myself. Short of Rong Biao and Jing. Jing have a performance so....ROng Biao, the busy man had to attend a birthday KTV at the other partyworld and hence only came for finale for like 30mins?
Hmm, Nikki's singing has improved a lot....i find that her singing has more soul than Adelyn....Adelyn's voice seems more at the back and i guess, she din sing as much as compared to the past..Jiaen the powerhouse, have soo much lung power, she can sing as loud without the mic!!
The session is fun and we were even singing the songs that LS made us sing then...Those memories...
Preparations for Laopa's wedding
Its Guoqing's wedding....on the 14Oct....Im the emcee again....This is my fourth attempt....
Being an emcee is very important. After the first attempt at Winson's, i realise there's a lot of different type of emcee...to be a well prepared, read the script one...that's easy....to be one that can seek attention from the crowd and bring up the atmosphere, that's the challenge....Till now, i've only attempted to be the first...That one is rather ok....Nothing too difficult...the latter will take good timing, experience and not forgetting a good partner....so....lets see wat type i'll become on that day....
Met up with Guoqing, Ernie and their 'sisters' for that day to discuss and have a look at the restaurant. Its held at OCC at Yishun. Then i saw their work for the dinner. Self designed table numbers, some flash display and all and all. Yesterday, i saw how these two ROM couple interact..Can see that E is the one that's leading the relationship...well in a good way and direction i would say...GQ is now more sensitive to girls and i can see the electricity in the way he look at Ernie....GQ is soo comical now, will make very funny faces and so and he told me about how E will hint to him on certain things. Guys are blockheads (some) and need a lot of guidance to understand girls. That time when i have a talk with the both of them, they gave me a lot of examples and guidance. Yesterday, what i see is E though asking for GQ to be more sensitive, she did do her part in the relationship. And that is what im lack of, to certain extend.
Soo hard....tiring...its hard work....
Guitar class
Yesterday's guitar class allows me to discover certain things about my classmates. We are learning a new song now, Jay's 晴天。 This song requires both plucking and strumming. And boy was the strumming hard...those up up down down pattern is driving me crazy. And the class was a little disturbing cos with 5 guitars, its crazy. Dareen is late again, this time better by 15 mins....but this guy hor, think he has played this song before, so he was strumming away and we cant really hear what we strumming. Class is a bit too many different standards and i think that he being the ace in this song, should have the courtesy of playing softer!...late and play soo loud...argh....Juwind and Freda are not soo good with the plucking but think Juwind seems ok with the strumming pattern. BAsed on the 爱我别走, seems like Juwind have the least practice.
I realise that in order to have an effective class, the students play a super important part in preparing before they come for class. Like our guitar class, if all of us make effort to practise prior coming to class, things might be much easier....But of cos, preparation takes technique and knowledge of how to prepare. Previously when i was preparing for my recording, i din have enough knowledge on what is called really being prepared. Hence, the first and only recording took almost 9 hours!!! and not completed! can u imagine all the time wasted? sigh
I guess in life, there are a lot to be learnt and it does help alot if all do their part. But of cos, if you are the one that knows how and what to prepare, it also helps to guide those weaker people into moving in the correct direction....
Time to makan.....

20th September 2006....happening day
Well, early in the morning, heard the news about Bangkok's coup...and to think i'm going to Bangkok this weekend on company's trip...sigh
MP came around to ask if im still giving the go ahead and given much thought, i chose no...and boy, am i proud of myself...haha..y? simply cos i think that in certain situations, it takes courage to say no. Actually, im not really looking forward to this trip neither am i dying to forsake the trip due to the coup, its just simply stagnancy i guess...in the end, after much persuasion, i just agreed to tag along.
Today was the night to watch Forbidden City - Portrait of the Empress. It was a musical by our very own Kit Chan. Im proud of her, in the sense i admire her pursue for her love in arts. Be it Singing, Musical and all, she gives me the feeling she's soo good in it...
In the musical today, i went with my colleague. Took a bus cos she's lazy to walk and boy was it a bad choice. We arrive 15 mins prior to start time and hence, no dinner. My tummy are complaining that they are empty but sigh.....
And then when it was interval, she was not feeling well and decided to go home. Boy, i was hungry, cold and alone. Sometimes, things just dun happen the way you hope and its soo frustrating and hopeless
Luckily the show is good....those vocals....wow....wonder when will i be like them....
while enjoying the show, i realise someone looking real familiar on the stage.....isnt that jo dong...wow, i can even recognise her in the show though im not sitting in front....
you noe, its really very interesting to see someone u noe on stage performing. And whenever i see a good fren performing, im always soo proud of them.....i remember the time when i saw weizhen and brian performing at sentosa...i admit, i was close to tears....im touched...really....at these little things...even when i went to see jing jing at the hotel lounge singing...that moment was magical....
i guess, i admire Jin San Shun at times....she's soo simple and clear cut. Sometimes, if life can be that simple, isnt it great? but at times, life can be simple if you choose to look it that way.....and hence, simple life, lies in the way you define it.
I guess, in my definition, nah, life is not simple.

some thoughts......
Was listening to one of 同恩's song named 一个人遗憾。I especially like the chorus as it was meaningful. It goes
一刹那无奈 好过一次次失败
一点点愉快 要用一生来感慨
一个人失败 好过被世界推开
when i heard the first sentence, it seems to reflect on what B make me realise by making my status as a hi bye fren....i felt helpless...helpless as i was not given a chance to make a choice.....maybe chances are given, but not literally...i guess in life, there are always chances here and there. BUt it really takes the brilliant eye and clear brain to spot things at times. Guess i din spot the warning signs in time and the volcano erupts....
somehow the three sentences seem to reflect things in life...at times, little happiness are not spotted in time and one will only realise one day, suddenly. when that happens, prolly years have passed and looking back, you will realise that i should realise that long ago and enjoy the happiness there and then. Realising the 'mistake', you will regret, sigh, on how we can miss out such minor details to brighten one's life.
Failure, happens all the times to human. At times, we should be thankful that we failed before. When one falls, he will realise or should realise the mistake and take note to prevent future happenings. It's fortunate that each of us fail once, fortunate that you realise that you are wrong, that someone tell you of your mistake, that people bother to tell you your mistake, rather than them ignoring you. THe feeling of being ignored is bad, it's a feeling of failure. Can make one helpless and hurt their ego.
I guess, no one is perfect. It's ok to fall at times. But very important that someone pull you out from the quicksand and highlight and guide you along. These people are important people. They can be your parents, close frens, relatives etc.
So if you meet such person, be thankful

'Court' session.....
Today had a meeting with all the TLs....this meeting has been one of the most exciting one i would say...one that i was warn against, a preampt that someone might question my ability as a TL....
introducing the following main characters:
1. MP - my Ops Mgr
2. HA - the attention seeker
3. AA - the loudspeaker
--------------------------------------------------------------------
MP : "Now that the time is late, let's go round the table to finish up the meeting. AA, anything to say?"
AA : "i wanted to clarify why..............."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
the story spin into a debating session
---------------------------------------------------------------------
HA : "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT I'M UNAPPROACHABLE? IN WHAT WAY AM I?"
MP: "No....I've never said that...."
HA: "You spoke to AA......"
AA: "Yah, when i ask you ........, you mention "when has XYZ become like HA, soo unapproachable?"
MP: "No, AA, i've never said that. Y would i say that, i mentioned its dah dah dah dah. THen you say dah dah dah dah. Right? then after that dah dah dah dah dah...."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my goodness!!!! it's already 10+pm and they are arguing about such things? Can't stand the loudspeaker and attention seeker. Throughout the whole meeting, HA have to say this and that after everything that MP mentioned and AA seem not to understand what MP is saying and that the words can get twisted. Somehow, i think a boss would NEVER say such things especially to AA or about HA. Like MP say, she wouldn't put her head on the chopper board!!!
Somehow, i think that AA and HA do behave like kids. FOr me, though im a very straight forward person, i DO NOT use this character anyhow in the office especially to my boss. This is something i feel that should be carefully thought of and planned before you comment anything to your boss. You wouldnt want to place yourself at a losing end or at a position where you will get yourself slap. I've gotten that before and know how it can get to. I salute to both and worry for them as the session has really shown certain character of them, a bad one i think. These 2 will definitely be the last on my list to approach or share anything. Too risky. It's like playing with fire.
There is bound to be certain politics in the office, and it's really an art to tackle such things. I remember someone told me once that humans are the ones that's terrifying. For the reason that human can do more damage to another as compared to meeting a ghost. And that is something i've learnt and seen today.
Hence, moral of the day, be real careful of what you say, when you say and who you say to. After being a DJ, i've even understand greatly what every little thing i say can lead to and that everyone has to be responsible for what they say.
Beware!!
However, i'm glad that i escaped the meeting will no knifes on my back or chest....phew!

Bad day
Well, for some reasons, i thought i should classify today as a bad day
The characters for the below
SK - my direct supervisor
KS - another supervisor
MP - operations manager
1. I was late for work and right at the face of mp.
2. The particular company that was not informed of how the transaction fee was charged based on walk in. Though it was not a direct impact on me, somehow, affected me.
3. SK told me that boss ask her to relay the msg to me about the frequency of my personal calls...and that try not to have late nites that will result a shagged looking me, first thing in the morning
4. KTV session planned long ago from a total attendees of 9 to 3. Sian...somehow, had a feeling that KS and MP went along to 'please' me or have an agenda to tell me
5. Day ended with SK joining us for dinner only and not ktv....sounds fishy and i have this weird feeling
6. We had dinner together and the agenda came.

5. Day ended with SK joining us for dinner only and not ktv....sounds fishy and i have this weird feeling
6. We had dinner together and the agenda came.
- Team leader's meeting coming up and i was warned about someone might bring up the topic of 'whether some Team Leaders justify their designation' and in short, that refers to me
- My punctuality
- My personal calls
- Justification of my pay - Peter feels i'm still not up to being a Team Leader
- I'm warned of how i speak to Peter....
7. Mood a bit spoiled but i forced my tears to stay in the tear duct.
8. Had a kinda crazy KTV
9. After all, felt bad and try to call BC. Call was not picked up nor returned. Sian
Now to elaborate, i'm feeling down for the following reasons.
Team Leader was not a designation i was informed of prior to accepting the offer. I admit i placed myself at a danger zone full of mines and due to carelessness, i had to work hard to prove myself. There are some people who will question my capability as a Team Leader and i felt that this responsibility should be left on MP who should tell the rest of the Team Leader, why my designation is the same yet different. It's different literally where my designation has this Operations Support after the word Team Leader as compared with the rest. Dont they understand that firstly, i was a green bird when i was given this job. If i can easily rised up to the designation, it shows that the experience gained by other TLs over the years to scale to this designation is peanuts lor. Can't stand that woman.....argh....attention seeker...
I've thought of how i should make my exit from the company. From the day that my bond ends, i should move on. Dont think this is a good enough environment to scale. Or maybe i'm still too stubborn about certain things and refused to submit. Dunno and i dun wan to noe.
I better start planning and make my exit simple and respectful.
As for now, time to sleep first.

the week
Well well,
Last week was rather ok. Work has generally settle down more or less from the busy times where i can finally start to clear my own work....ok lah...MP is back and hence, hope that she will ask for justice to my previous promised pay....
Had fling with wz and were toking about b...seriously, when ff were toking about b and at the moment where ff mentioned that me n b are now hi bye frens, my heart sunk again....its that feeling of expected and hearing it again...sigh...at that moment, i sms mx and tell her about this stupid b and how sian it is that this friendship is going to...i guess, i really have to consider forgoing this fren as its really hard to maintain the friendship with someone like b...
anyway.....
wanted to share with all what i've completed for my two nieces for their one month
This is a 300 pieces jigsaw puzzle done specially for the two princess....idea is to put their photo in the middle where baby minnie and mickey are....
i did it in about 3 hours.....achievement !!!
And this is something i've collected over a few months.....it was francis who help me with the 7 and i managed to get the last one at a single try....haha...
With the box, arent they pretty?
It's rather amazing what little things can bring the happiness to one's life....simple gesture, smile, a tap on the shoulder and all....hmmm
So if you are one guilty fellow of not doing or showing any love or concern to the one beside you, what are you waiting for?
I'm celebrating bc's bday at sentosa tomorrow...will share the photos taken tomorrow......cya....
