Imaginary Friend
Just finished my night auditing. This round of night shift is a little scary.
See, about 2 weeks ago, my niece was in my room "chatting" with me; she's coming to 5 soon and as you know kids this young can hardly pronounce words thus I usually just entertain her by saying "yes", "no", "ya", "mmm" and so on and not understanding most of her speech.
Then suddenly she said, "Jie Jie go already"; "Jie Jie" means elder sister in Mandarin. At first I thought she meant my neighbour's daughter who's much older than my niece. However, I realised from my room, we were not able to see the main entrance of the house and definitely not anyone at the corridor. So I asked my little niece who she meant. She said once again "Jie Jie go already", this time pointing towards my room's door or maybe her room which was facing mine.
By now, I'm having a little goosebumps. I asked her "where got Jie Jie?". She said "There...Jie Jie going to my room already." and in a split second, she turn her vision away from the door and continued our "conversation" like she had not mentioned anything about "Jie Jie".
My hair on every parts of my body STAND!!!......and I mean EVERY parts of my body!!!
Just a few days ago, something similar happened. I was preparing to go to work and was doing my hair in the kitchen. She came out from her room and we were "chatting" away...again. All of a sudden she ran to the living room and back to the kitchen, giggling away...like she was having fun. I usually like to call her "crazy girl" when she does stupid things like that, so I called out to her... "you crazy ah?".
Again, she said something that made my hair on EVERY parts of my body stand; "I'm playing with my friend". Then she ran to the living room and back again doing the same thing...giggling away.
Keeping a straight face and trying to act I'm the last person to be bothered about such things, I took the courage (or whats left in me), I asked my niece, loudly; "you crazy ah, where got friend?". She then pointed to the...er the space next to her and said "there, my friend." Again, she ran to the living room but this time to her room...still giggling away.
Many people believe kids at a certain age have imaginary friends but some believe kids at a certain age are able to see "things" adults can't.
So the "Jie Jie" and my niece's "friend" are imaginary?
Thinking of the above, my round of night shift this time is a little scarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry!

Back to night shift again! This time only doing 2 nights...YIPEE!!!
Heard we have a crazy lady staying in house with us...OH GOSH!!! Hope she don't go crazy on my shift! Then again, she's staying for 14 nights, anything can happen on any shift!!! Can I ask her to move out??? Maybe to Woodbridge Hospital??? Anyway she's in Singapore for medical purposes......so maybe Woodbridge is a better place for her to stay...?
Recently I have a new resolution, that is not to whine and be positive towards life, but with such people around (guests and staff), can I really be a positive person and not to whine? I wonder.
Is GOD (my 4 face Buddha) testing me?

New Me
After writing 2 bloggs before this, I realised my perspect in life had somehow changed a bit (just a little bit)....:-p
I won't say it had changed me completely but I was somehow happier than before. I used to whine a lot; about life, about work and about not having what I wanted.
I truly hope it's not a passing phase of my life but it will stay and make me a better person.
I'm gonna be this person who's contented with life (most part of it...hehehe), I'm gonna whine as little as possible......but don't test my patience lah......hahahaha

"Xiao Long Bao"
Went to Tampines to have lunch with a friend. It's been a long time since I had "Xiao Long Bao", it was soooooooo yummy. We had it at a restuarant well known for their "Xiao Long Bao", but I somehow forgot the name...??? Must be the age...hahaha
Then when to a cafe for drinks; my friend had a tea while I decided to pamper myself, I had what they call "Monkey Business Smoothie". Well if you guessed it was banana smoothie then you are right. It was just ok.
Had a good chat with my friend even though he was supposed to be working; can you imagine that!!! He's having a 1 and a half hour lunch with me, then we had coffee for almost an hour. Then he told me he's actually working while having his lunch break with me......??? Can I work in that company......please......! :-p
After a wonderful afternoon, I went back to my work place to do some workout. It was a short workout but was fruitful......can feel my arms hurting. Guess it will be worse when I wakes up tomorrow...... ouch............
I'm so not looking forward to work tomorrow...it's gonna be a busy day!!! Or busy week rather!!!

Life Goes On...
I was reading two bloggs posted of the "crazy-but-cool-bloggers", one of them is dedicated to the department I'm working, feeling for all of us due to shortage of manpower. The other talks about something she learnt from the movie "Fantastic 4"; "We Have A Choice!"
Then I realised these 2 bloggs somehow "interlinked"; are we gonna feel sad for ourselves when there's a situation of any kind or do we choose to look at the other end of the tunnel where there's light?
See, I've been feeling very very (and I meant "very") down recently due to some "issues". I have not been the happiest person on earth. But then again, who will be the HAPPIEST person on earth??? Or who will be SADDEST person on earth?
Answer : No One!!!!!!
There's always someone happier than you... and there's always someone more sad than you.
If we choose to feel sad for ourselves when we are depressed, then we will always be this sad person looking at the darker side of life, and we will never be happy. There's bound to be things dos not go according to what we have planned, do we choose to feel sad or do "We Have A Choice?" to look for the light?
My choice : To look for the light!
p/s : this is for all my FRIENDS who had stood by me and showed their concern when I was not
the BITCHY person I was for the last few days!
THE BITCH IS BACK!!!!!!

The Truth Hurts......real BAD
I was trying not to think of the "issue" I had a few days ago, and I was getting over it...or I thought!
Today, a friend told me something regarding it and it felt like the pain is doubled than what I was feeling the 1st time! I don't blame the friend cos he was not aware of the "issue" at all, no one did except my best friend.
GODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!! I'm back to the beginning......in fact, worst! I can feel my heart pounding really really hard now!
I always said to people, the truth hurts...... and it's really really hurting (real bad) right now!

12 June 2007
Had quite a smooth day at work even tho we are down by 1 staff. Guess I was a bit harsh on the team even they did quite a good job; sorry guys.
Had a good meeting with my "Hello-Kitties". But think it could be a more fruitful meeting if certain "someone" is not there? ;-)
Gurls, you had done very well and keep up the good work!!! :-)
p/s: Trying to forget what happen but it keeps flashing across my mind. GOD!!! END THIS!!! :-(

11 June 2007
After work, went for training. I'm preparing for SHA athletics in Aug. This is my very 1st time going for the training for this year; all other athletics from my Hotel had already started training since 2 weeks ago.
It was tough but I really needed to do this; I really needed to start training to get rid of the flabby tummy of mine, and Faizal told me it's the best medicine for what I'm going through now. Faizie, thanks! It really worked!!! I'm feeling much better but "it's" still linger in my head. Guess time will washed "it" away sooner or later.
I've made a promised to myself, from today onwards I'm going to start training myself, with the help of Fasle Jr; he's going to be my personal trainer. I'm going to build some NICEEEE chest and arms...hopefully nice abs... hehehe
After reaching home, did some more sit-ups and push-ups...I'm not going to stop till I succeed!!!
Faizie, once again thanks for being there, thanks for being my best friend. What am I going to do without you? Luv Ya!!!
Liah, thank you as well for the sms. Really appreciate it and thanks for not pushing me to tell you.
Going off now to do some more sit-ups and push-ups.

Lazy Saturday
Used my 1 night comp stay voucher and checked into the Hotel for 1 night last night.
Met up with Selamat and Carol for dinner. Selamat drove us to East Coast hawker center to have the well-known satay. I had the mee goreng but it was so spicy thus only managed to finish half of it.
Then went to a light shop in Geylang as Selamat wanted to pick the lights for his new house. He found a few which are of Balinese concept. Think he's getting them.
Then proceeded back to the Hotel but on the way we bought the well-known Geylang soya beancurd...yummy!!!!!!
Went back to the hotel.
Carol brought a few DVD. I wanted to stay up and watch the DVD with the both of them but I was too tired and fell asleep on the sofa. Woke up later as Carol and Selamat wanted to go home. Then I realised I was asleep for almost 2hrs. :-P
Selamat said I also snored. :-P
p/s: thinking of something Faizal told me and I'm very affected by it.
GOSH! I didn't know it was such a big deal to me.
Faizie......I'm so down. :-(

OFF DAY
I'll be officially on OFF in exactly 4hrs and 25mins!
Even though, it was not a long week, I was so looking forward to my OFF day! Cos I'm checking into the Hotel! Not that I'm so amazed and in love with the place I work but thinking of lazing in a very soft and comfortable bed and free from my forever-nagging parents (oops)......aiyo so shiok!!!!!!
I'm inviting my 2 very dear friends, Carol and Selamat, to join me. If you remembered, they are my very dear friends whom I called "travelling-kakis", mentioned in my very 1st blog. They met up last night, while I was sleeping, to discuss what to do after check in. They suggested to go to Sentosa or Mount Faber, probably to enjoy some drinks and the night scenery of Sentosa. I love the idea cos the last time 3 of us sat and drink in Singapore was so long ago; usually we just have dinner and drink in some coffee places, seldom drink in clubs or pubs. However I'm trying to save money for my next trip (in July) and hopefully save a little for my new house-to-come leh.... And I know myself very well; if I start to drink, it will be very difficult for me to stop, and that means spending a fortune......Anyway shall see when we meet up tomorrow.

House and Home
I was at the smoking bay just a few minutes ago and heard 2 colleagues teasing and bitching at one and other.
Then 1 of them asked the other to leave...jokingly. He said "Go back, this is not your House, this is your Home!".
Hey! I can relate to that!!! To me, where I lived is just a House; where I sleep and eat, but here (my workplace) is my Home; where my friends are, where I can confide and find comfort in the arms of my few Good Friends. That's why I'm blogging it down...to remind myself.
Sound sad? Not at all...to me!!!
p/s : must get my own House where I can call it Home! ;-)

Not-So-Beautiful Liar
Took me a whole full day to decide whether to post this blogg or not. Not very comfortable people reading/seeing "the other side" of me. Still, I decided to publish......
Just saw the tag-line on someone's MSN and it reads ".......... Lonely .........."
Suddenly "THE" question flashes across my mind; "what if that person wants to patch things back?" ...was it a hint for a patch back?
The answer to that question is simply a NO! I don't even need a second to think...in fact I don't even need to think about it at all!!!
The reason gave when we broke up was "we are not compatible", "you are not what I'm looking for" and a whole bunch of "I want this" and "I want that"......oh by the way, the reasons given all not from me.
Well, when we were together, it's all about what that person wants; when that person wants to meet, when that person don't want to meet, what type of bags that person wants me to carry, what type of bags that person don't want me to carry, what that person wants me to wear and what not to wear, how that person wants me to talk, sit, walk, what movies that person wants to watch, when to have sex and on and on and on...... Not once I was asked what I want!
The day we broke up, it's what he WANTED again, and the reason... the few mentioned above in bold.
Can you really know if 2 people are compatible in just 1 month?
Can a relationship last if everything is based only on 1 party?
To add, can a relationship last if only 1 party is giving and not recieving?
It's not even a mutiply choice question where you can choose, the answer is only a simple "NO"!
I can't help but to think the reasons given for the break up were all nothing but "BULLSHIT". To be honest, I already know it's bullshit cos it seemed that the most commonly used excuse for breakups is "we are not compatible". Why people just can't be honest??? To lie so as not to hurt the other party? To lie so it will not be a painful breakup? To lie so as to make others think one have put in a lot of thoughts before the breakup? That, one have tried every means to salvage the relationship but there's no more reasons to give after much thoughts, thus the decision from the breakup? Hmmmmmmmm......
I shall keep to my belief in Life...never regret, never look back!

Good Things Never Last...Part 2
This is specially dedicated to a very good friend who had just left us...Emily! Emily had left the organisation...truly hope she will have a good job offer.
I had known Emily since my day 1 in the current place I'm working...that's exactly 5 yrs 9 months and 7 days! Not a very long time but long even to know someone well. Emily is always there to lend a ear when you needed one, she had always given good advises if you needed some, she's a simple person who wanted nothing but pure friendships, always caring towards others and one of the great colleague whom anyone can depend on/work with. I'm sure she's very well-liked among friends/colleagues.
However I guess she felt she was not appreciated. Hey Ah Em, you knew there's a lot of good friends here had always supported and appreciate you...right? I'm one of them... :-)
Well, like the saying goes, good things never last! It seems like just yesterday we met each other and today, it's the time to say "goodbye"!
We took a few photos together...Emily and me, then with Liah. And as usual, the 3 of us gossip a little bit. She was trying very hard to be strong, controlling very well not to cry. She didn't want to give us the "last" hug" when she was leaving; maybe she knew we will cross each other path again some day or maybe she knew she will definitely burst out crying if she were to hold anyone of us.
All of a sudden, it occurred to me, workplace will never be the same without Emily!!! I felt a certain sense of "loss" now. Guess another saying is true, you will never appreciate something/someone until it/he/she is gone.
Emily!!! Take care & all the best!!! Must keep in touch!!!

Needed Another Break!
Oh GOSH!!!!!! I need another holiday!!!!!!
All of a sudden, I need to get away from Singapore, get away from work and, of cos, get away from family...in short, get away from everything and everyone!!!!!!
I'm sure you have experienced the same before; you just need to "disappear" from everyone you know for a short while. You kind of "got sick" of the people you know, doing the same thing everyday over and over again. You just want to see something new for a change, to do something else other than your routine job, to see/meet people who are unfamiliar, not to hear from people you know for a while.
Well, "that" day had just arrived for me...again! I need to get away from EVERYTHING!!!!!!
My next trip will be......OH MY GOD!!!......end of next month!!!!!! Still so far away!!!!!! *sob*sob*sob*

Night Shift
I'm doing night shift again...this time not as a Duty Manager (DM) but Assistant Manager (AM). GOSH!!!!!! It's been 3yrs since I last did night shift as a AM.
Felt different as I'm used to telling people what time to close the system, but the next 4 nights I'll recieve instructions from my counter-part when to shut the system.
Hope I still remember what to do and what to look out for as a night AM.
Actually we almost forgot do a few things, but thanked GOD, we realised before it was too late.
Good to know the night team is a GREAT team to work with. All are good workers, jokers and team players. Whewwwwww......
All of a sudden, I remembered a staff who had just left us not long ago. Let's not mentioned names. He/she was quite a dread to work with, always got mistakes; not that I don't make mistakes but I learnt and usually don't repeat my mistakes. However he/she will always have the same mistakes and always have reasons to cover for himself/herself; busy with guests' enquries, busy with check ins and on and on and on...Never seemed to learn anything after 2yrs with us (oops...maybe some people already know who I'm talking about...?) There was once when I told he/her off, he/her actually accused me of targetting her......dah??? Well he/she is now working in something which I think he/she can excel in, in fact, I think he/she is more suitable for that job rather than Hotel industries. I didn't get to tell he/she anything when he/she left but I actually did wish he/she all the best (in silent).
...see after all, I'm a nice person deep inside...hahahahaha
Felt different as I'm used to telling people what time to close the system, but the next 4 nights I'll recieve instructions from my counter-part when to shut the system.
Hope I still remember what to do and what to look out for as a night AM.

Good Things Never Last
Today, another 2 friends at work had left the organisation; Sandra, who had finished her 2yrs attachment (it seemed like just last week she joined us as a trainee), & Alfie who had left us for better offer (feel happy for him cos it was a good choice).
Before that were Daphne and Zaine...both left for brighter future. Then Suelyn, who is still in the same building but different area. Soon will be Emily......
The same question alway pops out my head when friends I know leaves; "Who is next?" and there's so many people talks about leaving...including me.
I have been working with these people for a long time; some since I joined the company, and others, since they joined the company. Sad but happy at the same time... SAD cos work place will definitely not be the same without them...HAPPY cos they had left HELL...hahahaha
I had been thinking : "What if I leave?"
- Will I be able to survive outside life?
- Will I be able to find good friends like I have at the current working place?
- Will I be able to adapt to other working style as I'm so used to mine right now?
- Will I not be facing the same problems/worries I'm facing now?
- Will I have to work double or triple hard?
- and ultimately... Will I be happier???
After asking myself all these questions over and over again, I know the only answer I have is "if you never try, you will never know." TRUE! However am I ready to take that leap?
I wished sometimes I will be decisive and daring enough to try anything, but sadly I was never that kind of person. In fact, I'm the direct opposite...indecisive and always too scared to try new things.
I just realised how solem and serious this blog had become. Ok ok I shall stop here.
p/s: NOT looking forward to my night shift tonight! :-(

Friends or "Friends"
Hates people who are "double headed snakes"; says/do 1 thing infront of you but another behind your back. Totally no respect for such people!
Sad to say, I know a few people who are like that in my circle of "Friends" and it's more sad to say, I've "caught" them doing their "thing"! It was just a split second (and I mean SPLIT second), they just did their "thing" when you had JUST turn your back at them...
It's even worse when you treat them as friends but guess I was wrong. I used to think the word "Friend" means someone who will be there whenever you need them and lend a ear be it when you are down or at joy.
Well that thinking will have to change, for now I have to tell myself that "Friend" means when you are very CERTAIN and SURE that he/she will be that person to tell you the truth RIGHT IN FRONT of you, even it was nothing pleasant to hear. A "Friend" will also be the one NOT jump to conclusions when he/she hear someone else telling he/she about what you've said but to verify with you. A "Friend" will also not put you down to make he/she looks better infront of other people or to get closer to the other groups of "Friend". A "Friend" DEFINITELY will not make use/get close to you ONLY whenever he/she needed your help!
After writting the above, I somehow felt guity of some points I made, but like I said, such thinking will change and I DEFINITELY will not fall into the caterory of the above again!

New Wheels
I was having my off day yesterday, it was another boring day.
Selamat called and invited me to his new house which is still under renovation. We are gonna be neighbours soon!!! I'm sure his house will be very nicely renovated! His house is not very big, but it was just nice for him and his mother. You should see his room, HUGE!!! It's 2 rooms together, without the wall!!!
He also gave a big surprise! He called me from under my block and asked me to proceed downstairs. I was trying to locate him at the motorbike parking lot cos he's a "mina-motor"! Or should I say "he was"! Then, all of a sudden, a car stopped infront of me. I first thought which asshole so rude, knowing I was about to cross the parking space, this person just stopped right infront of me. Then I thought, maybe someone gorgeous just wanted to say hi.....hahahahahahaha... When I looked into the car, there Selamat was, behind the wheels! He just bought the car!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!
After viewing the house, we then went for dinner. Had mee goreng near my ex-kindergarden; it was really very weird to see the kindergarden I went to almost 30yrs ago (oops...I suddenly feels so OLD!!!).
Went home after that and I, once again, glued to my X-Box! Didn't managed to sleep till 3am......
