I've been dreaming quite a lot recently, and I actually remembered these dreams when I wake up! *weird*

Dream #1
I dreamt that I was getting married. The affair is supposed to be held on a ship. The ship I rented was very far away and we had to take a transport there. The lorry that was supposed to drive us there drove off without me & I had to run behind. (imagine me in white gown running after lorry. Damn!) Anyway, someone on the lorry managed to ask the driver to stop n I eventually got on the lorry. (don't ask me y it's lorry. I don't know) I don't know who's the groom though.

Decipher:
Wedding
To see a wedding in your dream, symbolizes a new beginning or transition in your current life. Dreams involving weddings are generally negative and highlight some anxiety or fear. It often refers to feelings of bitterness, sorrow, or death. Alternatively, wedding dreams reflect your issues about commitment and independence.
To dream that you are planning your own wedding to someone you never met, is a metaphor symbolizing the union of your masculine and feminine side. It represents a transitional phase where you are seeking some sort of balance between your aggressive side and emotional side.

Wedding Clothes
To see wedding clothes in your dream, signifies new friends and pleasurable undertakings.

Running
To dream that you are trying to run but cannot make your feet move as fast as you want them to, signifies lack of self-esteem and self-confidence. It may also reflect your actual state of REM paralysis while in the dream state.
To dream that you are running alone, signifies that you will advance to a higher position and surpass your friends in the race for wealth. Alternatively, you may be running from some situation or from temptation.

Dream #2
I dreamt that I went to this exercise place to swim n wait for Ru. Then ANDY LAU was there. But no fans around him. I was tired after a few laps n decided to rest. Then suddenly Andy said,: "秀燕, 你要不要陪我去海边走走?" (No need to guess also know my answer rite? hahaha....) Anyway, the dream got cut off abruptly in the middle, i.e. the part @ the beach. &#@%^%#@ I went back to the pool n Ru arrived and we went to the gym.

Decipher:
Swimming
To dream that you are swimming, suggests that you are exploring aspects of your unconscious mind and emotions. The dream may be a sign that you are seeking some sort of emotional support. It is a common dream image for people going through therapy.

Idols
To dream that you are worshipping an idol, signifies little progress in attaining your goals. You are worshipping false values and ideas. (I'm not worshipping him. He called me by my name so he knows me!!! hahaha.. so this one is not applicable)

Anyway, for those who are interested to know my results. I failed... terribly. 36 points! WTH! I was doing so good in the circuit but got stress on the road. Then got this stupid van come n ka-chiao me. Sianz....

Note to self: KTV on weekend is not that expensive afterall! applicable only to Partyworld

2005-12-01T12:24:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow is the day! The day I've been waiting for to officially go on the road without the stupid Mr Ang. Pls pray hard that it don't rain... Wish me good luck!

So busy the past week. My colleague just came back from Penang. Nearly died doing all the Chinese papers updates. *pengs*

Checked my account this morning, can't believe my own eyes when I saw I had less than $500 after paying bills n such.

All my money has went into buying pressies...

attending chalet...

meeting friends...

I need a part time job. Lobangs, anyone?

Feeling : gloomy

2005-11-16T13:50:00.000+08:00

I'm super tired! Aerobics yesterday left me with aches all over. So blardy tempted to take MC and rest @ home. haha..

Had a chalet @ CSC Changi during the weekends. It's been such a long time the 2/2 gang spent time together like that. It was a very small chalet with a small group of ppl. But we all enjoyed it cos it's very cosy. =D

Like dom said, this is the first bbq where EVERYONE participated. haha..

Celebrated chix bday on Monday. Went for brunch @ Marriott. The food there was quite good & the service was good too. =D
Then soon it'll be Tracy's bday le. So fast! Ahhh... I'm gonna b 24! *faint* It's a whole week of catching up with old friends last week.

This coming week will be the catching up of my driving. I went out for a spin with sis to Bt Merah Mobil cos she wanted to use the axs station to pay bills. I was not used to driving her car n i couldn't change gear in the middle of the road! hahaha... scare the shit outta her. Anyway, we managed to reach home safe n sound & i parked the car! woah!!! Now, I'm juz praying hard that boss is ok with my leave on 2nd Dec for my TP.

好烦阿! 什么事都不是很顺心。。。教车教练又把课取消了!　王八蛋，混蛋，臭鸡蛋！

今天又是个公定价日前夕。。。是不是当人老了就越来越少娱乐？可是Sean都２８岁了还是很happening吗！Sean和朋友打麻将，Candice和淑慧正在庆祝Teris的单身派对，晓茹要和男朋友出去。。。只剩我，Joe和Keat，要去Joe爸爸的店换轮胎．好无聊。想要Joe陪我去KTV可是他一定借口多多。唉。。。

那个台湾的包包Supplier还没有把包包寄出去。他已经骗了我很多次了。。。上个星期还说今天会寄可是今天问了他却说还在排船期。可是我已经等的不耐烦了！索性叫他把货用空运的好了。＃＊＃＄＆︿％＊

最近很喜欢这首歌。歌曲的旋律很美。有空的时候听一听吧。^_^

歌曲：眼泪成诗
歌手：孙燕姿专辑：完美的一天

我已经　已经把我伤口化作玫瑰
我的泪水　已经变成雨水早已轮回
我已经　已经把对白留成了永远
忘了天色　究竟是黑是灰

分手伤了谁　谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你再回味　字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美

我已经　已经把绝情变成了恭维
因为不配　你就忽然自卑说声失陪
我已经　已经把沉默变成了忏悔
无路可退　只能无言以对　

分手伤了谁　谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你在回味　字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美

分手伤了谁　谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已是无所谓
让你再回味　字不醉人人自醉
你的品位总是美

Attended my cousin's ROM on Saturday. The ceremony is already over by the time I reached cos I had to help mum @ her stall. Anyway, I wasn't very keen to witness it.

Was told by sis that she was also a late for the ceremony(but she went earlier than me). My aunt actually say things like "wah, ceremony finish already then you come. bla bla bla..."

It's blardy bullshit lor! My sis gotta help out my mum in the morning and then rushed home to wash up before driving down to Changi. It's so understandable that she will be late lor. Then they had to say such things, and then they expect us to respect them cos they're our elders! *puke blood*

On my bro's ROM, they were late for the ceremony too! And ALL the guests(around 30-40 of them) had to wait for them lor! I bet they don't even know they made my brother darn pissed juz before he read his vows! And they had the cheek to say such things to my sis. Sick!

Anyway, after attending another of these ROM @ chalets, I learnt a few things for my future ROM.

1. I will only make sure I have enuff crowd then do my ROM @ chalet.
2. Changi is super inaccessible for friends n family. + there's so little parking!
3. Never ever get a 15-yrs-ago make-up artist to do make up for me. I rather spend the money.
4. I MUST die die slim down before my ROM/wedding. (flimsy white don't look good on fleshy ppl)
5. I will rent a car, drive ah-ma down to the venue first thing first.

Enuff of complaints, here are the pics

Goals for the month :
1. Settle the bag spree chop-chop
2. Learn driving at least 2 times a week
3. Go bank and open another SAYE account

昨天aerobics instructor说11月8号没有课。太好了！我真的很后悔。。。aerobics真的很难，很累。比还要累咯！可是钱已经还了，课已经上一半了，不可能半途而废的吗。

工作还是有点烦恼。有点想直接就辞职。是想到每天／月的花费，就还是决定忍辱偷生。哈哈哈。。。　
吸气，呼气。。。。空气多么的清新。。世界多么的美丽。。。　（但愿如此）

I'm so angry. I have to stay in for lunch yet everyone went out for lunch cos my beloved colleague just told me I had to cover for the reception duties last min! *fuming*

Idea is, if she were to told me earlier, I could have went out to ta pao lunch back. Then when I finish lunch @ 1pm then she can go for lunch. But she had to go @ the weirdest time, 12.30pm. Then I like hanging halfway. Don't know whether to go out or not! *fuming like mad right now*

Idea is, I've done the recept duties for the week already! It's so blardy unfair! I mean I don't mind helping lor, but then can make arrangement earlier ma. Like so last minute I oso cannot say don't want or cannot. Haiz..

Just get 2 students their Centennial Mug. One of them look sooo cute! hahahaha

2005-09-27T13:30:00.000+08:00

The day when everything went wrong

Sounds like a composition title right? It's the perfect summary for my morning.

1. Woke up late
2. Bus broke down on the way to work
3. Late for work (kinda happening everyday)
4. Slipped n fell
5. Scald my right arm with hot water
6. Spill my cream of mushroom on the counter table (lucky no one noticed)

I think I should take the day off from work. So disastrous.

Met up with the 2e2 gals last Friday. Brought our bfs along so that they can entertain themselves while we fill each other with the latest happenings in our lives. It sure felt like yesterday when we recalled our secondary school days. Some things juz stayed unchanged. E.g. Joyce's super LOUD laughter. -_-"

I'm so blardy pissed with my job & my colleague i wish i could juz quit n leave office right now!
FUCK!!!

2005-08-31T21:58:00.000+08:00

Juz backie from movies. Went with sis to the VS sales @ Timberlux building first. Bought 4 tongs & a super comfy & pretty nightie. hehe

Picked mum & dad from home, rushed down to catch 7.30 show @ Tiong. Bought burgers cos all of us haven't had dinner... The show started @ around 7.45 & ended @ 9.15.. a bit short rite? Anyway, it's good cos if i stayed inside there any longer, i might get heart attack. haha...

The story of The Maid is actually about this family who's in the Teochew Opera business, hired a maid, Rosa, from Philippines. The day she reached the family was the first day of the Hungry Ghost Festival. So, the mdm(Hong Huifang) warned her some not-to-dos during the month. But one day, when she went outta house, she stepped on the burnings juz outside. & strange things started to happened.

The ending told the story of why & how the previous maid died. It's quite bo liaoz @ the end... hahaha.. Anyway, if u wanna know full story, go watch in cinema or wait for pirated vcd/dvd lah.. =D

Anyway, i felt dat the story a bit stupid. I was basically laughing for the first 10mins lor!
1. the maid speaks better english then the sir(Chen Shu Cheng) and mdm
2. the maid wakes up later than the employers & sleeps earlier than them
3. breakfast is ready when the maid wakes up
4. the family actually don't look so rich to b able to have a maid & they totally have NO PURPOSE to have one!
5. the mdm told the maid that she had done something wrong that offended that Ghosts. Then tell her not to worry cos the ghost month onli 30 days, after that she'll b fine. But idea is... she started seeing ghosts on the 3rd day(i tink) of 7th month!

Anyway, if u don't mind spending 7 bucks to get scared... can consider to watch it. hahaha...

2005-08-31T18:02:00.000+08:00

I'm backie @ home @ 5.45pm today! Hohoho..

Attended a course today, Who Moved My Cheese. And I got a box of soon-to-expire cheesedale cheese cubes for writing the best 'handwriting on the wall' hahaha...

Going to watch The Maid with my parents & sis later... Still waiting for all of them to come home.. So tired... feel like sleeping leh.

Sis's here to pick mi up to the VS private sales.. gotta run... bye..

2005-08-28T01:06:00.000+08:00

I've been a really good gal recently. Staying home on Fri & Sat nites.. Dad & Mum muz b thinking "jit kor siao liao ah?" haha... I'm beginning to enjoy then nua-ing weekends.

Anyway, i suddenly had this thought while cleaning up the house this afternoon. Normal youths will like work/study on weekdays n enjoy themselves on weekends. I rather i work AND enjoy on weekdays, make myself so tired, i can slack my whole weekend @ home! hahahaha.... I think I'm seriously going CRAZY.

Planning with San to mit next week cos Shiyan's back from aussie(for good). I totally hate it when ppl call mi & suggest a mit up, then ask mi to organise.

S : hey, let's mit up next week. We haven't met for so long
ME: ok.. sure!
S : okie. U can call the rest n set a date n call me back?
ME: (to myself) HUH???? wtf?

It's like so DUH... So whenever they asks me to call up the rest of the gang, no one will ever get any calls from me.

Whenever I make plans to meet old friends, I always ask them to choose a date & I will always try to block out that day for them. But my dear friend thinks otherwise.

P : eh, we mit this friday ok? 7.30 @ city hall.
S : huh... only can friday ah? my poly mates always meet on fridays one...
P : (to herself) WTF???

I'm giving up on her... "no eyes see"

Work this week is pretty stressful. Had a talk with boss for like 20 mins on my duties & other stuff regarding the presentation on Monday. She also kinda realised i'm quite lobo @ work(although she don't say it). wahaha....

Conclusion of the talk...
- I'm 'assigned' to help out 2 officers permanently
- She agreed to let me help out more on media briefings & conferences
- More work cos I'm like more or less in charge of the press coverage report

Actually L is quite a nice boss when her mood is good. Compared to BB & AB, who are almost like devils. I think they're out to chase their secretaries away. Anyway, heard news dat LL & J are gonna apply for a transfer soon. I'll have 2 friends less in the office... sob sob sob.. Y so much office politics? =(

I'm thinking of a job change too... should I? But thinking of interviews and getting into a new evironment turns me off completely.

I'm trying to get this. Still waiting for reply from the seller. Argh... i hate waiting... (-_-")
