lingering…

I’m back! From the sunny beaches, clear green/blue seas, crisp waves and tanned shiny bodies! Haha! Welcome to Singapore!

Yeap, I’ll be putting up the Bintan pictures much later, it’s all stored in my laptop at home, so I gotta wait till evening to get to it!

So I’ll give my full write up, with illustrations laterz. =D

Anywayz, I brought back more than just beautiful pictures, memories, a tanned/burnt shoulder… i brought back heat rash… =(

And super super itchy, when it ’strikes’. why do I say ’strike’? That’s becuase it comes and goes, and when it does come, it itches like a million mosquito bites, and I can’t even sleep in peace! Well, but that claimed me 1 more extra day off whilst I get an mc and my calamine lotion! (calamine, calamine, calamine lotion… )
Dear friends, if you want to maintain smooth silky legs under the hot hot HOT sun, please drink LOTSA water man!! And don’t get heat rash coz it sucks big time! Imagine sharpish bumpy moulds all over your legs and thighs.. urgh! totally not it! Thankfully the rash came on the last night there, so I still had quite a lot of fun throughout the trip.. yay!

wait up for the pictures ya!

went to the changi airport yesterday evening to see zg, yokes and Ada off to Italy…*jealous face* with the NUS band though, but they are like going for only 1.3k!

How exquisite, Italy! If I’m not wrong, it’s shaped like a boot, right? How cool is that. Anyhow, I do wish them a safe trip, free from the italian mafias and full of pizzas,
and pastas and tobasco-ing good time. -gosh i really don’t know what I’m saying sometimes-

Adios Amigos! Bon Vogage! (is that mexican? italian? french? bah… who cares)

I love you darling! I really do!! =D I’m smiling everytime I think of you, and no, it’s not the medication that’s making me this delirious… =) It’s l.u.r.v.e….. <3

and.. hmm……….I’m starting to fall in love with your camera too… haha!

went to Menutti @ Raffles Place yesterday too! 50% off after ____pm. Ha! I’m not telling ya! Or not everyone will start to fight with me for my Soffiato dessert!

It’s a delectable ‘volcano’ of warm, melt-in-your-mouth cake, with a rich, smooth, Aphrodisiac-tic chocolate lava centre that oozes out, spills over… sprinkled with
sugar icing on the edge of the ‘volcano’, harmonized with a gentle scoop of vanilla ice cream, that starts to swim about the plate as it melts from the warmth of the soffiato volcano dessert…

Not to mention the fullness of the chocolate, as it overpowers the mouth from the moment you eat it.. and then it lingers… lingers… lingers…

aphrodisiac-tic huh! wait till u see the pictures I took… perfect date place! and it’s so cheap after half-price! 50% off $5.90 each dessert, u do the math. Try it! Right, if you ask me, I’ll tell you what time it goes on half price! =PpPp

We, and the interns at oh-see-bee-see, pledge to be efficient with time allocated to us, ya-da ya-da….the plot is, we wanted to go to minds cafe for lunch and recrea today..
Well we definitely made use of our ‘anytime between 12 to 2pm lunch’ time break i guess! Efficiency, i like to call it. =P

However however however, we found that it only opens from 2pm.. so we decided to go ahead with plan 2. So groggy me (from the medicine, tsk, i’m on steroids man!), and the gang headed down to Bugis to the… arcade! Yes, that’s super old-school, and we played time-crisis, strikers 1945, and that rifle-shot game where 4 people can play one. It was fun, but I kept throwing in the credits for the strikers1945 game as if it were water. haha… well well, I spent every last bit of energy left in me, after the arcade, -pause- time check: 1:55pm. -con’t- I was realllyy groggy…
I really wanted to sleep so badly… sigh… th stupid arcade card is still with me, they made this dumb policy where i can only refund my card for the $2 deposit 1 week later. Dang…

counting down the hours/mins/seconds… time check: 3.37pm. 3 more hours to go…

tsk anywayz, we have this 4pm all interns tea party.. which really consists of the 4 interns in my dept. and as usual, it’s self declared. just don’t tell anyone, ok! *winkz*

In times like these, we disillusion ourselves with all kinds of parties — tea parties, lunch parties, countdown parties.. etc…

Something beautiful… Love isn’t blind; Love is so powerful, it overcomes weakness, not blinds the person from it.

half day today!

Thank God It’s Friday!! Beautiful beautiful morning…Met Christy-belle @ the Chinese Garden station, what a pleasant coincidence.. Gal, I hope you manage to catch your shuttle bus! Hehe.. xP

Went to Settler’s yesterday with 20:47. Boy was it…. (I’m going to prove right the research that every unsatisfied
customer tells an average of 11 people a bad experience, and tells an average of 3 people of a good experience with a
product/service) Now where was i… yes, Boy was it…. STINKY!! Went to the outlet near the clarke Quay station, opposite the Kreta Ayer Police Post.
Seriously, it was the smell of damp, mouldy carpet; like a musk of sweat and BO; i could just imagine the amount of disgusting bacteria i was breathing
in that night. The scary thing was, after a while, we kinda got ‘used’ to it. Eew! I’ll never go there again man..

Maybe bring a nose peg the nxt time round.

We played Cranium, Taboo (love it! Singapore version.. even had Chen Fu Ji in it..) and some Dinosaur Bones (sth like heart attack).
What can I say, the people you play with make the difference.

Happy Birthday Tarynn!!

I’m glad it’s a 1/2 day for me today! Yay! There’ll be an int’l exchange talk in the afternoon today, that’s why.
I wanna go to Europe.. but lack of funds. =| And all the exotic places, but yeah, even australia seems difficult to apply for
coz there’s only 1 position available man! The whole of SMU sending only 1 student to Australia! Did they have a quarrel
or what. Right. – Zip =X -

I love pilates and what it does to me. =D

Not many deep thoughts this Friday morning… good. let’s just keep it this way…

Gonna be out of SG tomorrow noon… off to the sunny sunshine and beaches of Bintan…

How beautifully God paints the skies every morning, in every different land — with the same Sun.

With One Sun, God made perfection in so many ways.

Just as there is One God, perfect is every way.

Something beautiful… How Perfection embraces the Imperfect.

one.more.time!

-mic test- Right, this blog is up and running once again!
Please excuse me while I clear the cobwebs, sweep away the dust, oil the hingest and what nots…

Thanks eve, I read your blog and decided to get mine up again, although I’ve kinda lost though with the
html language… I’ll try the best I can anyway…

Reasons why I love interning at Oh-See-Bee-See:
¯I love 12pm to 2pms. Especially when I get to meet up with good ol’ friends (everyone seems to be doing their internships around the biz district area as well!)
I’ve met with Steph; Zien; Victor; & Mae; so far… really nice, let’s catch up more often.

¯I learnt that pingpong is quite a fun game! The pingpong ball’s so light, it just bounces all over the place! Like a mad flubber, if you have watched the show.
Really takes a high amount of skill to get it under control… but it’s so much fun! Thank goodness for the recreation club, at least there’s some place decent enough.. =P

¯I got to know really nice people on my level, such as Peiwen, Ivan and YH. Thanks PW, it’s really much more fun having youa round to count down the hours/minutes/seconds till 6.30!

¯Intra-MSN via an email system that only allows sending of email within the building, with fellow suffering interns.

¯[I'm still finding a cure for withdrawal symptoms from the internet.]

¯’TGIF’ has it’s full impact on me.

¯I have only done 1 OT so far, I should be thankful for that.

¯How I know the shortcuts to almost every function on the computer, I can navigate my email without the use of a mouse now.
Reply = Alt + R; Reply All = Alt + L; Send = Alt + S; and for microsoft excel even. W-O-W.

¯How I can actually sit at my computer typing this out without being noticed coz my boss is mostly @ meetings upstairs. -bliss-

Tomorrow’s Tarynn’s birthday and we’re going to Settler’s in the evening after work. I’m glad this ltb grp of mine has become such lasting friends,
even my own ltb team didnt’ meet up as often coz we’re always so so busy with our own lives. but they are really beautiful people and it’s always very heartening to see
them around in school…

Although there will be 1 person less tmr, he’ll always be in our hearts. I still remember how our email threads always had to prompt him for his replies. Like what Su said,
he really was such a Heartlander Dude. everything’s just genuine, sincere, real and down to earth. and with all the events that have happened, I can only thank God that I had met such a wonderful person in smu, and for that good chance to even know him better, his points of views, and how lazy he always says he is… he really was.. but in an endearing way, i dont’ know how you make that out. like a good younger brother… hey bro, you’ve made an impact to everyone around you, and everyone misses you dearly, but most of all — rest well.

‘Cherish the people around you’ has long been said, re-said, phrased, re-phrased.
It’s not about achieving big things. To me, it’s about making each moment with anyone, a sweet memory.

—

I’m looking forward to the weekend.. Where i’ll smell the salty air, and sink my toes into velvet warm sand. I want to watch every sunrise and sunset!

—

I’ll be leaving ’something beautiful’ at the end of each blog entry.. something which has made me pause, smile and thank God for. =)

Something beautiful: How beautiful music and lyrics sound when they are put together…
