Melon's Mood for Today - # # # #

***********************************

Had a fruitful past week, mood would be 5 # if my boss had allowed me to go and help them out at the last 3 clinics for their CPR skit tomorrow :-(

Well, now can only wished them all the best for tomorrow with the media coverage :-)

24-Sep-2007 (Mon)

Reached office in the morning then had to ask my colleague then gonna know my boss will be overseas for the entire week. I'm his staff and he never told me anything, maybe forgotten ba.... :-( He only sent me an email asking me to do what and pass my things to who..... that's why I asked my colleague who might had know.

At night went for InternationalBuffet@Marriott with one of the clinic director and her 2 staff whom I'm super close with ;-)

My first attempt driving to town from office and didn't lose my way :-)

Food was relatively good. Also my first farewell treat from a director, whhahaha......hehe...

25-Sep-2007 (Tue)

Can't rem wat happen.....

26-Sep-2007 (Wed)
Gathered with a few of my colleagues after work to celebrate Post Mid Autumn Celebration.....

We had a feast and played sparklers and lantern....... then biaomei and me heard things that the rest never hear....... supposely to be quite eerie....... but we kinda of just pretended that we never heard anything until we were home. Come to think of it now, really quite eerie.

27-Sep-2007(Thu)

Morning went with several colleagues to town area clinics to put a CPR skit to educate public on the importance of CPR. Had quite a fun time :-)

At night went with colleague to PlanetFitness@GWC for our 1st session of one week free trial :-)

Jogged for about 40mins then we settled for dinner at the KennyRogers there.

Bought 6 CDs at the MY CD Shop there. 3 CDS for $49.90, quite a bargain. Bought some english compilations such as the Movie Love Songs and Corrinne May new album which I had wanted to get.

Suddenly received a bad news from my ex-camp mate that one of the ex-camp kid is in critical condition. Couldn't sleep well for the entire night upon hearing this.....sad....

Chatted with her on the phone for quite a while.

28-Sep-2007(Fri)

Went to helpout at the other 3 clinics nearer to the east for the skit. Drove them around the clinics like 跑歌台 like that, haha.....

Then the casts and helpers was treated to a dim-sum lunch for our contributions :-)

Received news that the ex-camp kid is better liao, what a relief!

At night met up with her for a cuppa at TheCoffeeClub@Siglap and sent her to her cell group after that.

Reached home then started to do the birthday prez for my good friend.

28-Sep-2007(Sat)

Had intended to go back office work in the morning but couldn't woke up.

Played with Ash for a while. She's not my niece, she's the one that my mum is babysitting. She's becoming so cute now :-)

Noon met my good friend for gym at the PlanetFitness@Vivo.

Jog on the threadmill and cycle for about 50mins till 3.30pm then went for lunch at the ToastBox there. Met up with my another colleague caz rem she's helping out at the HeartFair there. She gave me a coupon to get a goodie bag, haha. Donated $2 to get a 'heart' collarpin.

After that, my buddy and his wife came to fetch me to go Suntec shop. Got Toyota roadshow there, so we went there kapo a bit, nothing fantastic.

Had some retail therapy. Bought a Man U black jersey for $110+, a black tee at $30+ and 2 pairs of socks for $16+.

All worked out to $150+ after discount to collect 3 chops. 7 more chops and can get $50 voucher :-)

Then we had dinner at the ChongqingSteamboat@Suntec. Quite a lot of varieties of food there but was quite ex. Worked out to be about $40+ per pax.

Happened to find out that she's nearby also, so both group met up at MarinaSquare for 9.20pm movie. We watched 'Death at a Funeral'. Erm.....kinda of Mr Bean show which everything happened in a house in a day. Some lame british jokes, think my friends don't like it.

Then I sent her friend and her back home.

Left my keys in my gym bag in my buddy's car. So had to call my mum to wake her up to open the door for me :-(

Reached home and slept at 3plus am.

29-Sep-2007 (Sun)

Slept till 12.30pm........told mum to make a set of spare housekeys for me to put in the car in case my keys not with me again like last night.

Then started to do my work SOPs to ensure smooth handover.

Worked until 6.30pm then tired and had dinner.

Then drove to buddy house to collect my barangs.

Continue my work until 9 plus pm then chatted with her on the phone for quite a while.

Blogged and preparing to sleep liao.

Another boring working day.
Went dinner with good friend after work at the foodcourt@Marina.
Kena spotted and questioned by ex-colleague then explained lor, haha.
Sent her home after dinner.

19-Sept-2007 (Wed)
Some CEs came to HQ for meeting and asked me out for lunch.
So we drove out to Country@GWC for lunch.
At night went with some colleagues to visit PlanetFitness@Vivo.
The GM there brought us for a walkthru and most likely I'll be joining them after the 1 week free trial which starts next Wed since their branches are quite accessible and one of them is near my new office :-)
Staff price is $700 for unlimited courses and usage for 12 months. Amount to about $60 per month.
Should make full use of it after work everyday to train myself to be healthier ;-)
Initially had planned to trial at the Vivo branch on Wed and GWC branch on Thurs de....but now Wed got Lantern Festival celebration with some friends so most likely have to give the Wed session a miss.
After the walkthru, I went to the CoffeeBean@Vivo alone to wait for the rest of them to finish their workout. Then we had dinner at BK and went home after that.

20-Sept-2007 (Thu)
After work went to meet the rest of the CEs for our planned dinner at Swensons@Suntec.
It was a long table arrangement with 13 pax and can see that its actually 'separated' into 3 discussion groups.
I was initially in discussion grp 3 where they 'grilled' me on where am i leaving, haha.
Then I jumped from discussion grp 3 to 1 to hear their clinics' ghost stories...haha. Actually I dun really believe leh but they narrated it until so hard not to believe... lolz...
After dinner sent Biaomei and another IT related colleague back to BoonLay.
Sigh, a bit lost when I travelled back but in the end still managed to find my way back ;-)
Reached home, bathe and visited biaomei and PG's bloggie then realised they had mentioned about me leaving and etc, so touched :-)

Extracted from Biaomei's bloggie
"i love forums cos can get a lot of latest info and lobangs.. im member for quite a number of forums but now we hav our very own! thx to biaoge.. =) one dat we hav ownership of (see pic as above.. but the default is actually black in colour lar but i change my own settings to pinkvibes.. haha as usual)"

Erm.... a bit lost again while looking for the route to PIE at Bendemeer area, haha.
Reached home at about 10plus pm.

22-Sept-2007 (Sat)
Woke up at 7.30am and drove to the NHLC@BotanicGarden.
Parked at the NUS carpark behind and walked quite a distance to the stage area where the main event is.
Event started at 9am and ended at about 10plus am then I drove home to rest after that.
Had a short rest until 12.30pm and sent mum to her friend's house near Holland area.
After that sent dad to Defu area to collect his repaired cab.
Then met up with some friends at the Kbox@MarineParade for karaoke. Sigh, the system there keeps hanging our songs halfway and skipped most of our songs.
My friend got fustrated and complained. So in the end, we got the price of a head waived off :-)
We sang from 2pm to 7pm and went Fish&Co@JurongPoint for dinner after that.
Then we managed to catch the 9.20pm 'The Invasion'.
Not really a good show, some scenes are quite gross and disturbing, haha.
But I had a good company, so it made up for everything ;-)
I reached home at about 12am plus and KO right after bathe.
Super tired but happy :-)

23-Sept-2007 (Sun)
Woke up at 12.45pm and watched tv, forumed, blogged and slacked till 6pm.
Had a 'revision' of all the songs of all my blogs.
Got news that dad struck 3rd prize lottery for his cab's plate and won about 4k.
1k to pay for his recent car crash, approx $300 to buy 2 new tv to replace the faulty ones.
And another $200 to buy our family a seafood dinner at 镇发活海鲜@SunsetWay.
We had chillicrabs, prawns and etc.... everything was so so only.
After dinner we went to shop at a nearby minimart.
Stocked up some panadols in car for emergency usage.

Car Decorating Week

**************************************************************
Melon's Mood for Today - # # #
**************************************************************
Haven really blog for more than a week cause had been hanging out late lately.
Reached home already very tired so no energy to blog :-(
Also because I had recently set-up a forum for my company's 'clickers' to interact and have been actively chatting there ;-)

Can't really remembered wat did I did and where did i went over the 8th & 9th Sept weekend so will be skipping those dates.
Think I met my poly friends on the 8th for dinner at ChangingAppetites@MarinaSquare. Ermm.... the food is not really nice.
Bought a ‘炭’air-purifier and EvilSpidey Radiation Detector.
The 'ball' under the EvilSpidey will rotate and emits blue and red light when detected radiation. Sometimes it works when I'm using my mobile and sometimes it don't.
Sometimes it light at night when I'm driving for no reason which makes me thought there's traffice police (Same blue & red flashes) and so I quickly slow down, haha.
The ‘炭’really gives out 'car smell'. It makes my Glade odourless, lolz...

10-Sept-2007 (Mon)
Mon went for my transfusion and got serious blood reaction twice for the first pack.
Entire body filled with red rashes making me felt super Hot&Itchy and looks likes a cooked lobster attracting everyone's attention.
Doc gave me super medi to KO me for 4 hours for the first reaction and I managed to stay out for the 2nd 'wave'.
Bro came to fetch me at 9.30 and I reached home at about 9.45pm.

11~12-Sept 2007 (Tue & Wed)
Boring working days.
My tender news suddenly broke out on Tues night which really caught me unaware.
Sigh.... actually I had planned to announce to them personally in 'order' but guess plans got disrupted and I had to quickly informed those whom I'm closer to before they hear from others. Soon by Thurs, almost all whom I wanna informed had knew.

13-Sept 2007 (Thu)
Had meeting till 6.30pm and went for planned dinner with my good friend at IchibanBoshi@Suntec. Food is quite nice and reasonable pricing.
Managed to catch up a bit with her since our last dinner which should be months ago.
After dinner, went to shop around and bought my Black tissue box cover which I had been looking high & low for it.
[Today (16 Sept) went to 'AutoBacs' and saw another TRD black tissue box. But think my voodoo one is cuter, lolz...]

Also bought a Study/Career voodoo doll for my friend and a small turtle softie for my good friend. Seeing my good friend so happy and treasuring the softie really makes me happy too. Guess she's too stress with work lately and seeing her smiled is a real relief. The voodoo doll is still in my car.

14-Sept 2007 (Fri)
Gave my boss a surprise lunch treat at a chinese restaurant nearby office with several colleagues.
After lunch I rushed down to NUH for my Endo appointment. Then rushed back to office and waited for my Boss to come back from his meeting then sang bday song and 'cut' birthday cake for him :-)
Hmmm.... surprise lunch and cake doesn't really makes him 'surprise' or happier.
Wonder whether is my departure a real setback for him which makes him lost his mood and laughter these days :-(
Reached home and discovered bro bought a car-sign for me from Malaysia, just nice for me as I was trying to look for a really cool one ;-)









15-Sept 2007 (Sat)
Went to office at 10plus am to clear some work.
Noon sent my good friend to ECP to join some other colleagues for their Swim Clinic as they want to be prepared for their Open-Sea Swimming Marathon on the 7th Oct 2007 at ECP.
I spent my entire afternoon there seeing them swimmed until 4.30pm.
Then we proceeded to somewhere near Eunos for a seafood dinner.
The food not so nice leh.
They were supposed to treat my boss for his bday de but in the end my boss took a faster step to clear the bill as per usual.
After dinner, I went to Marina to meet other friend and her friend for their dinner and movie (No Reservations).
The movie is really nice and heart-warming, it sets me thinking again......

16-Sept-2007
Woke up at 11am, went with my bro to meet Biaomei to collect her unwanted monitor as my bro one is downed.
Met one of my buddy at a carmart (Autobacs@BukitBatok) to shop for car accessories. Hmm.... a wide varieties of accessories there but all are quite ex.
Only managed to bought a SportsPedal set for my car, really comfy and chio man..... super happy :-)
After that, I went to IMM alone to buy bdae gift for my good friend. Hmm.... quite ex.... but never mind lah.
Reached home at about 6pm and went dinner with bro & family.
Stocked up some 'refreshing sweets' in the car for 'long-distance' drive to prevent dozing off.
Then came home, watched tv programmes, update forum and blogged till now.
Going to sleep soon, Nitey Everyone :-)

6-Sep-2007, 8.20pm - Broke the news.
4-Oct-2007 is the day.

My tears simply just flowed when I was blogging this......

I am really grateful for all the things that you have done for me for the past 10 months.
... the things that you had taught me.... with many guidance and patience...
... the trust and 空间 that you have given me to learn, explore and improve to develop myself...
... the numerous attempts & ways of looking for new things for me in order to keep me 'happy'...
... and last but not least.... the most important of all..... the care and concern that you had showered me with throughout the 10++ months.

I am truly sorry that I have to make this decision at this timing and I would really like to thank you for all the things that you have done for me.

"Thank you"

Who knows that there might be chances where we'll meet again in the future right?

Take Care.

Super long meeting at work from 2.00pm to about 7.00pm.
Drove home, bathe and had dinner.
At 9pm plus, received a call.....
She sounded quite 'weird', so I quickly drove down to meet her.
We went to airport for some quick bites and a cuppa.
Then we started to have some real private chat about her concerns....
看你失落的脸又再为爱憔悴, 我心痛的感觉竟如此的强烈。
我该如何把爱藏在心里面？
。。其实我也害怕会失去你的感觉。

31-Aug-2007
Reached office as per usual and super tired as did not slept well the day before.
Had a chat with a conclusion which makes me really sad throughout the day.
Guess everyone in the office can see that I'm quite unhappy as I had the 'please leave me alone' look when I'm really downed..... in the end, I really had a 'peaceful' day.
I skipped breakfast and only had a small bite at Sakae@TiongBahru with Dajie.
Really had no mood to work for the entire day, 8 hours was like 8 years to me.
After work, went dinner with my Shifu and HAD at EarlSwensons@Vivo.
Initially wanna cancel the dinner caz I dun want my sad mood to affect them.... but guess I shouldn't cancel it as we had planned for it quite long time ago. And I thought perhaps they could cheer me up a bit over dinner, and they really managed to 'counsel' me a bit.
After that I sent Shifu home.
And as it was quite early still, I asked Xiaomei out for a cuppa at Breko@Bugis.
Quite lost on the way but still managed to find my way there.
Feel like having some alcoholic drink to 'drown' myself but didn't cause I still need to drive so only had some lemonade drink and a short chat with Xiaomei.
Shared with Xiaomei a bit and the advice that she gave me is quite similar to my intentions. Perhaps there's really nothing much I can do but to take each step as it comes and see how everything goes.
Sent Xiaomei home then reached home at about 12plus am.
Bathe and slept at about 1.30am.

1-Sep-2007
Woke up at about 9am and drove to work.
Reached office at about 10am.
Managed to clear some work till 1pm plus.
Thinking of since I've had a date at 6pm and there's carpet-shampooing in office, therefore stayed with friend until 4pm plus.
Thinking my friend is going to Suntec for the Commex and I'm going to RafflesCity, therefore offered her a ride to RafflesCity.
Sigh....thought I had planned all my route nicely....who knows I think I missed an exit at CTE and we ended up in Serangoon. But still we managed to detour to Marina and found North Bridge Road which led us to RafflesCity.
Met her and we drove to Vivo for our dinner before movie.
We had dinner at The BOSSES aka 黑社会, wow.....the looks is nice....everything black :-)
Minus point, it served Chinese food at quite a high price but the ambience made up everything.
Then we shopped for a while and proceeded to our movie.
Movie 'Ratatouille' is relatively nice to me and its about 2 hours, quite a long duration for an animation.
After that we drove to EastCoastPark and parked at a nearby carpark to relax and enjoyed some radio programmes inside the car.
Then we took a short walk to Mac to use the loo and drove her back after that.
I reached home at about 2am.
Bathe and slept.

2-Sep-2007
Woke up at about 1pm and had late breakfast.
Then drove my family to pray my Granny for seventh month at a nearby temple.
As there are no parking lots, therefore I stayed in the car throughout.
My dad came out offered to jagar the car asking me to go and pray but i rejected him with a moment of 'guilt' after that.
As a free thinker, I don't really wish to pray but still I felt like being unrespectful to my ancestors, sigh.... really dunnoe wat to do.....
In the end, I did not stepped out of the car.
After reaching home, we went to wash the car and polish the scratches mark that i had caused. Managed to diminish it a bit but still some paint dropped off and therefore unable to restore it completely.
Then discovered another patch of scratches near the driver's door! Dad said it should be some car trying to drive off and accidentally caused the scratch...... then also discovered some dent marks at the boot area. Must be caused by over-reversed.
Sigh~~~ 3 weeks car and so 'injured' liao....
Maybe wed take half day and seek 'consultation' for my car ba. Hope at least something can be restored.
Evening bro and family came and we had dinner at one of the Zhi-Cha stall at one of the nearby coffeeshop. Its has been a long time since we ate together like this. Used to do it every sun when dad still had his business 3 or 4 years ago..... times really flies....
Initially wanna meet my friends for kopi at Westmall de.....but they said too tired...so ended bringing my niece to my Ah Ma house.
Came home, bathe and blogged till now.
Going to rest liao....tomorrow still needs to work.... Oyasuminsai :-)
