This was what he said to me.
This is life. You take wrong steps, you miss opportunities, you suck it up, you move on, you learn from it, and you become a better someone.
I wonder why am I always hopelessly attracted to "big brother" figures. |

Thus far, I am enjoying my work.
My job is halved very beautifully.
It is not excruciatingly deskbound, neither does it require me to be running about excessively.
It is just the perfect mix thus far.
Today, I attached myself to school excursions on the pre-text of learning about our programs.
Holy shite, I saw how cells are cultivated in labs. Effing interesting stuff!
Good things are happening to me and I'm very very thankful for it.
I had an awesome Monday night with Lao da, Pauline and Sarah.
Purdey got chef to cook me awesome mushroom soup (On the house!) cause I was positively starving from my event on Tuesday night.
I met Dexuan, a PhD holder whom I name "Scholar" (and damn, only 30 years old) on my way home today.
Meeting men who are older allows for some form of juxtaposition from the headcases I've met all my life.
I think men who are older exude a different kind of aura.
They feel more confident and in control. And they are generally better at putting other's at ease.
I also found a friend to go to work with in the morning.
I think in general, I fucking love my life. haha. |

| Veek goes for her medical check-up. |
[Aug. 28th, 2009|02:57 am] |
Nurse: (Hands Veek a bottle.) "Go take your urine sample."
Veek: (Goes to the toilet.)
Veek: (Comes out of the toilet with pee sample in hand. Has no bloody clue what to do with it. Walks around looking for a nurse. At least 30 people looking at the pee sample in Veek's hand.) "What do I do with this?"
Nurse: "Place it on the tray, it's just next to the toilet."
Veek: TMFD *&(&^&^%%
Doktor: (Stares at the X-ray of Veek's chest very intently, and for an unusually long time).
Veek: (Thinks) Fuck, I got lung cancer is it.. (Palms start sweating).
Doktor: (After three minutes) Very good Victoria, you look healthy to me!
Veek: TMD*&%$#$^&*
FML.
Today, I drew my family tree during Bahasa Indo class.
Ini keluarga saya.
Ini ibu saya, ini bapak saya.
Mereka punya dua anak.
Anak kedua cantik sekali.
Cher also taught us that "kawin" means having sex.
I felt like I was three once again, doodling with crayons. |

I am grinning stupidly to myself now,
because I am so damn happy about my new room.
All the drillings and dust don't matter,
I am just so happy.
Had supper with Chok and Samuel last night.
After which Sam and I chilled out at the top deck of my multi-storey carpark till about four.
The weather last night was awesome.
My teeth was chattering from the cold,
but it was extremely reminscent of Hong Kong, and I liked it very much.
That was also when Sam put things in perspective for me,
and I realized maybe I should really get my act together.
Lately I'm more enlightened about many things.
I thought maybe breaking up wasn't a bad thing like what I used to think.
That maybe I started on the wrong footing right at the outset,
and am only beginning to understand what sharing a life with a person really entails.
Maybe I needed this time to examine myself and some unrealistic expectations I have out of relationships.
Maybe it was really something I had to go through so I can become a better someone.
Maybe one day you'll find me sitting on a lotus levitating someplace. lol.
I'm still considering my appointment with A*Star,
but once I start work I promise to work damn fucking hard,
I want to restore some semblance of order to my life. |

| Veek has a nice week. |
[Aug. 23rd, 2009|12:24 am] |
On Tuesday, I went to Sentosa with Quan and Steph.
We all agreed this is a bad bad year for us.
So we did the SMU jump and we laughed!
 
I think I do awesome SMU jumps. And I hate the way SMU appropriate everything.
On Wednesday, I had an unnerving panel interview with A*Star.
I won't even go into details here.
Anyhow, they called me back on Thursday and offered me formal employment.
On Thursday, I went for my first Bahasa Indo language course at Peninsula Plaza.
I enjoyed it very much, and am looking forward to classes again next week!
Guru Marianna is very cute. She works as an interpreter for the courts as well.
I am also a very good student. I practice rolling my tongue every day.
And I speak to Bapak in Bahasa Indo too.
Emmanuel picked me up after class and we had supper at Jalan Kayu after.
We drove to a damn gorgeous place at Seletar Airbase,
and he made me laugh cause he had mats and foldable chairs prepared.
So we chilled, ate peanuts and listened to music and he took my ring!
I'm going to learn how to drive there so I can bring my friends there too.
On Friday, I visited Butter for the first time.
It was also my first time clubbing with Steph and Quan etc.
I felt like I needed twenty drinks last night to keep the smile plastered on my face,
and to keep my eyes from rolling.
Once again, I ended up feeling extremely sober after clubbing.
Thank God for great girlfriends!
Today, I was out cold and reeling from my hectic weekend.
But Bapak Ng was extremely merciless, and insisted I drive him to Geylang for taohuey.
Then he insisted we drive past Geylang Serai.
Traffic was a complete horror! Now I'm so tired from driving.
Next Monday, my new furnitures will be arriving.
And my queen-size bed will follow soon after.
My life is great. |

山不转，路转。
路不转，人转。
人不转，心转。
This is my favourite line from PM Lee's National Day Rally.
I look at Singaporeans kao-pei-ing on online forums,
and I don't know whether to laugh or cringe.
Tomorrow, Veek goes to Sentosa. |

On Wednesday, Quan, Steph and Veek went to ION Orchard.
Then Veek met Chok and Sam at night.
Sam makes Veek laugh.
So Veek always likes Sam.
On Thursday, Veek and Pee Ess went to Da Vinci- The Genius.
Veek thought it was disappointing,
cause Veek wasn't as interested in the original colours of Mona Lisa,
than the story behind the portrait.
But it reminds Veek of Art History in Choi Hong,
and it reminds Veek of beautiful beautiful Choi Hong.
Veek bets Chok Mun forgot what is sfumato.
Veek wants to go back to Hong Kong to find her memories.
Lookit, here's lovely lovely Choi Hong. That's my favourite sculpture on the left. I got so fat in HK.
  
On Friday afternoon, Veek will go to Bugis Village with Pee Ess and Meizhen.
Veek wants to go on a shopping spree.
My poor poor friend.
Watching you grapple hurts me so much :(. |

In case I won't be around with my country,
MAJULLAH SINGAPURA!!!!!!
Imperial Kitchen at ION Orchard. The service standard is beyond awesome I swear.
  
The jellyfish (with chilli oil) is supremely splendid. Better than the real thing.
SCI Happy Hour at Brewerkz.
 
HAHA unglam max. But the mussels, they are orgasmic. I swear.
That is my Cartier ring Joel's wearing. We have one each! It is gorgeous okay?
And Prof Bo came over to talk to me! (Chok, don't be jealous! HAHA!)
I thought my eyes must have been glazing over.
Sigh, the man of my dreams.
I'm sorry folks, if I'm at it for the 500th time.
I'm so in love with my Dior.
It is a nice pink and it is shimmery.
Pee Essers, please eat dim summers with me tomorrow!
I hope Sunday comes quick so I can have fun again!!! |

I murdered a lizard yesterday.
The lizard was crawling near the hinge of my door.
And I closed the door unknowingly.
It went splat.
And it became very flat.
Its head was crooked.
And its guts splattered on the door.
I felt very sorry.
Sorry lizard.
Veek didn't mean to make you die in such an unglam way. |

I finished all three parts of The Godfather today.
The Godfather ll was the best for me.
I thought Robert De Niro was beyond splendid as young Vito Corleone.
And of course Al Pacino is so hot stuff,
I wanna have his babies!
 
Positively oozing masculine charm. Men like him make other men look damn bad. |

I have closed the chapter of my academic life,
although I very much want to further my studies in future
(I got how inspired by May Lwin's robe. lol.)
I imagined graduation ceremony to be more inspiring,
I imagined I would feel a little poignant at reaching this significant milestone.
But everyone was taking photos in a very business-like fashion,
and I found it very hard to remove myself from my usual dead-pan stance.
Or maybe it was the interview with the CEO that made me feel burdened.
It was really nothing like I imagined.
In other news, I received an employment offer today.
But again I am unsure of what I want. Afraid of the opportunities I will miss.
(I am quite convinced I'll get bad karma rejecting another job.)
But anyhow, I have a week to sort out my thoughts.
My room is now a very pretty shade of light purple.
And I can't wait for my new furnitures to come in.
I will have a queen-size bed,
so I can cuddle cuddle. Whee.
Damn, I'm so happy!
I am in general a happier person now.
I am confident I made a rational decision.
I know now I have to grit my teeth,
but I also know in no time, I will be laughing at my own childish foibles. |

记得
谁还记得爱情起开始变化的时候，
我和你的眼中看见了不同的天空。
走的太远终于走到分叉路的路口，
是不是你和我要有两个相反的梦?
谁还记得是谁先说永远的爱我，
以前的一句话是我们以后的伤口。
过了太久没人记得当初那些温柔，
我和你手牵手说要一起走到最后。
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_67zVnK9PY
This is the reason I think English lyrics can never never measure up to Chinese lyrics.
It is also the reason I get depressed going to kayteevee at night (plus beer). lol.
I distilled my two favourite stanzas here, so enjoy! |

[Jul. 19th, 2009|11:38 pm] |
I'm so tired, from I don't know what.
I think maybe I need a holiday.
Emman suggested Batam (he pays). lol.
(At this point, Peishan screams.)
I prefer Bali though. Or Hong Kong.
I want to be veek the trooper. |

[Jul. 19th, 2009|01:03 am] |
I finished reading The Godfather today.
It is beyond splendid, I simply can't find the words to do it justice (maybe I'm just inarticulate).
Although I must add that I found the sexist undertones most disconcerting. lol.
But what the hell, a good book is a good book is a good book!
And I really like the way the book attacks dominant institutions,
how they exist merely to perpetuate hegemony of one class of people over another.
People are essentially helpless against it, and so we resort to hero-worshipping.
I know best, cause everyday I pray Wolverine or Michael Corleone becomes my boyfriend!
I'm going to rent the DVDs soon!
I get weird little bruises on my face everytime I drink more than usual.
I'm beginning to suspect that I am mildly self-mutilating when high. lol.
Yesterday was fun in a weird way.
We went to a ktv-pub somewhere along Boat Quay,
where I saw my first bar-top dancing.
I think the most apt way to describe the whole experience was:
I-experienced-a-culture-shock-in-my-own-country-last-night.
 
Filip is 1.9m tall. I took off my heels to enhance my dwarfiness and his giantness.
All of us at lupsup bar
And then we adjourned to a Thai disco called Sabai Sabai.
I would like to declare that Thai discos are grossly over-rated and over-hyped.
It isn't as much fun as people make it out to be.
And the crowd is some kind of oldish-weirdish-trashy.
But I must admit getting damn high when they sang "Nobody" by Wondergirls. lol.
Veek gives Thai discos two and a half stars out of five!
Amanda goes around jabbing people with her weird toy and heeheehee-ing.
The world is getting too damn small for my taste. |

I think when two people aren't quite placed on equitable levels, things cannot work out.
Its like a fundamental equation of life.
A friend told me I have to learn to calibrate my expectations,
which is something I admittedly have yet to master.
I think it is mastering the middle of both spectrums that is truly mastering the art of living.
Like it is easy to love or hate, but most trying to endure a love-hate situation.
I will never be that Superwoman.
But hey, you were never that Superman yourself!
And I cannot deal with "I love you" declarations at the moment.
I find them very funny. |

Its settled then, we are renovating our house.
And I need some suggestions on the color of my room.
Koay says lavendar-colored rooms seem like they always smell nice. lol.
Renovations are no fun at all.
I keep bumping into things. My poor leg is covered with bruises.
In other news, I have finally finally registered for my refresher course.
(Credits to teoshiang, who dumbly didn't get her PDL.)
So my dear friends, look forward to me driving you around in my spanking new Camry (yea right!)
Hitherto, unprecedented.. my FYP supervisors!
Stupid Zhuo, grinning like a monkey. |
