My recent favourite songs...# 1: 《小宇宙》

《小宇宙》

词曲:吴青峰
演唱:苏打绿
苏打绿-小宇宙
左手边有个年轻人插队
看一眼看一眼眼神充满不屑
电扶梯一对情侣相依偎
你看我我看你挡在走道左边
右手边一个妇人丢纸屑
走向前走向前好像没有不对
公车站车门停在我面前
挤向前挤向前把我挤回路边
卖衣服的店员态度就好像
我花钱我花钱只是买她臭脸
不太熟的朋友靠近我身边
他的嘴他的脸充满世故气味
为何这城市为所欲为
我只要只属于我的宇宙
给自己一些从来没有过的
宁静快乐季节
已老去的岁月化成蝴蝶
都飞翔在我的房间
向时间交换来的新语言
和心上的山水说声谢谢
面对着那些不美的世界
都不想不去挂念
左手边车水马龙吐着烟
压过线闯过街直到我看不见
右手边充满暴躁的情节
一支笔一条线通通划下句点
碍…回到我的世界
碍…无谓的事都走远
左手边窗帘拉开了一些
我的房间我的身边多了一些光线
一瞬间瞳孔缩小了一些
我的房间我的身边充满鲜艳蓝天
右手边音乐放大了一些
我的房间我的身边多了一些气味
一瞬间心门拉开了一些
我的房间我的身边充满想像空间
啦…啦…
啦……

I simply love the music and lyrics...简直是‘愤世嫉俗’得...很有道理...把人们的心声都唱到骨头里去了...哈哈。

Yay! Last day of work le!!! =D

Last day of work yesterday! But I OT 1 more hour for free ok...haha..cos too many things to clear already...and I want to clear whatever I can clear, so that the newcomer won't get confused, and most importantly, they would have less reasons to bug me...

I want my 'NUA' days back!!! Wahaha...

But sadly, my boss told me to go back for half a day to teach the newcomer about the job as well as the system...I was like, what the heck, can't I just leave the company in peace?! Urgh... and I've already said a big lie in order to siam...(Yes, it's a big lie to me cos I am a person who can't lie properly..and this time, for the sake of my happiness and freedom, I have to lie without battling an eyelid...)
I told my boss that I'm going for overseas, from SUNDAY onwards, (instead of Monday in case it's too obvious..惨了,我的心机越来越重!=P) I said I'm going M'sia, so I 'planned' that I would be coming back on Wednesday...and 没良心的老板 wants me to go back on Thursday instead!!! *抓狂*

I shall see how I can siam..haha..it's not about the half day of work..I'm more afraid that the more I give in, the more they want from me...this is called 得寸进尺...wahaha...

Anyway..I bought a new mouse from Suntec! Saw something quite similar at Keelee's house..and I thought it's cute..but don't think I can use it in school though, especially the library...people will just whack me... bleah..

Busy weekend.. =D

Busy! Busy having fun! haha...

Thursday Joyce aka Majyo came to my workplace for an interview...and now she's my colleague! And soon she'll be taking over my job! haha...finally I can leave the place in peace...if they still haven't find a staff to take over me..I don't know whether they'll still be willing to let me go..
But anyway, even if they can't find anyone to replace me, I am determined to go...
I want to enjoy the rest of my holidays in peace and not to be bothered by work, suppliers, deadlines to finish purchasing all those tiny little screws, bolts, nuts, rings, washers, and whatsoever...wahaha...
Anyway Joyce is there to 'dong3' for 1 month, and after that she has to go back to Shanghai to continue her studies too...so they can do nothing to keep her then also..haha..

Had choir as usual on Staurday morning at AJ auditorium...we had practice with the guitar club alumni people and it was quite fun...but noisy too, cos the drums were loud and we can't really hear each other talk at times, let alone singing! So we had to go outside and practice our songs...

Then come KTV! Too bad this time too few guys, only got Chee Guan and Wansong. But nevermind, cos we have the altos!! Even us sops can sing quite low SOMETIMES..so no problem for the girls during duets..haha..
We need more of such outings, people! =P

Liping, Joyce and I went to Kee Lee's parents pub The Yard to eat dinner and chill out. At first Liping still thought that Kee Lee may not welcome her..haha..silly gal!
It turned out fun in the end right?
We had nothing to do...so we played some board games that we found there...such as..


We thought we went back to primary school times..haha...
Liping was losing at first..and she was cursing and scolding...wahaha..but she was damn funny when she cursed...but in the end she got 2nd! Hey..I'm the last ok..and I 坚持 continue playing even though I am playing alone..wahaha...我坚持要‘回家’!LOL..


Joyce is trying to 强镜头...wahaha...

We played Snake and Ladder and I am the first to win! Yay! But Monopoly was damn funny...first time I owe $10000++ in Monopoly!!! Both Kee Lee and I 欠Joyce一屁股债咧! 这也未免太夸张了罢?!haha...Joyce is the ultimate winner of this game...and she has concluded that Monopoly is completely a capitalist game..haha..eh, ask you to play board game why you think so much??? LOL...

Looking forward to enjoy my holidays cos this will be the last week of my work! Yay!
Wanna go for some retail therapy but I am either lazy or I do not have the shopping mood...hmm...muz get my shopping list out! Yay! =D

Everybody Hurts - The Corrs

An old but nice song...

"Everybody Hurts"

When your day is long
And the night
And the night is yours alone
When you think you've had enough of this life
Well hang on

Don't let yourself go
Cause everybody cries
Everybody hurts
Sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
(When your day is night alone)
Hold on, hold on
(If you feel like letting go)
Hold on
If you're sure you've had too much of this life
Well hang on

Cause everybody hurts sometimes
Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts

Don't blow your hands
Oh, no
Don't blow your hands
If you feel like you're alone
No, no, no, not alone

If you're on your own
In this life
The days and nights are long
If you're sure you've had too much
Of this life
To hang on

Well, everybody hurts
Sometimes, everybody cries
And everybody hurts
Sometimes

And everybody hurts
Sometimes

So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Because no, you are not alone

胡思乱想

也许,有些事情放在心里就行了,不需要说出来。但是对我来说,‘不吐不快’才是我现在的心情的最佳写照。

反应迟钝啊!到现在才经历从恋爱到失恋的整个(算是完整吧?)过程。而且从头到尾,都是我在演独角戏。哈哈。“老天真爱作弄人”这句话是我们平时在电视剧里才会听到的台词,不过TMD(Sorry for my use of vulgarity here..if you do not understand, please do not ask me..haha)没想到这种事却也发生在我的身上!

天啊!放过我吧!!我只是个很普通的女生,只想好好地过平静的生活,难道有这么难吗?

敢做就要敢当。敢说出来,也是因为我准备要放下这个包袱了。

我经常认为,生活,就是应该要敢敢地去尝试新事物。这样,人生才不会有太多的遗憾。好啦,失恋这种再普通、平凡、正常、自然到不行的‘生活经验’我也体验过了。What's next?

刚刚看了《幸运星》,里头有几句台词我是还蛮同意的。“做人不要整天脸黑黑,生命是充满色彩和惊喜的。”不管这些惊喜是好是坏,生命中有了这些惊喜,人生才会多姿多彩。所以要不断地调适自己,让自己往好处想。这种‘功夫’是需要不断地练习才会看到成果的。一个人要改变想法,可以很困难,也可以很容易。Sigh...希望自己能够做得到……

我好像已经不是很相信“顺其自然”这句话了。什么是‘自然”?其实在这个世界上,很多事情都是人为的。’‘顺其自然’也只不过是顺着人们所铺的道路走罢了。

哈哈。我自己也被搞糊涂了。不够精神,又开始在这里语无伦次了……无奈啊!

Sugar cane juice, fried kang kong, and 'Orh Lua' (Fried Oyster omelette-with starch)...after that June went home first due to her running nose, so she wanna go home and rest...the 4 of us comtinued to walk around Serangoon Gardens before we decided to sit down in Coffee Bean to sip some coffee...and we just sat there, chatted and laughed for almost 4 hours! This is the good thing about holidays..got much more free time to spend with your friends and family...)

Tomorrow I am gonna start work at 8am... *Yawnz* How I wish I have more courage to say 'NO' to them...stupid me, I have the courage to do silly things, and yet I don't have the courage to ask for more pay...why am I so stupid?? -_-|||

Harry Potter tomorrow with Huixian and Liping! Looking forward to that though! :D

Shall not let those small tiny winny hiccups in life bother me..你们是不会得逞的!

What else is more important than to be grateful and happy for what I am given, and to treasure what I have with all my heart?

Xiangji shall remain happy in her own small simple world... :)

My Brother's Wedding

It all started with this word...喜...



My mum cut the word out herself? 厉害吧?我老妈真的是很喜欢什么事情都亲力亲为,她的这股毅力总是让我感到即佩服又惭愧。=P

Today I woke up at around 650am, to get ready to accompany my brother to 'fetch' my sis-in-law home...as a 小姑,this is my job...they say it's tradition...so I just follow and 凑热闹...haha!


The wedding car (Jaguar)! *Most importantly, take note of the 4 digits..wahaha!* (If not what makes you think I take the front part only?) LOL!


Ok la, this is the actual car...although the background cannot make it...haha..


Door opening!


My brother was forced to say "I love you" in 10 different languages/dialects! This was taken after it's over..haha...


My brother being 'tested' by the 姐妹团...to make a card within 5min! In the end the card was full of red hearts..wahaha... woohoo!!


Ok...I know this is a very bad angle...no choice la...best angles were taken by the photographer and videoman liao..and my stupid camera...suddenly pangseh me and 'told me' that the battery is flat!!! =S


I didn't take any photo with my own camera during the dinner, cos I find it quite troublesome to carry the camera around, since I can't put it into my clutch bag...
Took this pic after I reached home..haha...


haha...自恋狂!

It's over! After months of preparation made by my brother and sis-in-law and family...everything just ended in a day's time!

They are going to Japan - Hokkaido for honeymoon...so sweet.. =D
I also wanna go overseas... =P

Feels good to take a break...and have some time alone to yourself...

Took leave today, and gave the excuse that my brother is getting married tomorrow, so that I can help with some preparations, if there is of course...

But of course there are things to do! Mainly...to clean up my room..haha...

I still don't feel the happy mood yet, probably it still feels like any other normal day today. But tomorrow will not be so normal anymore! =D

I haven't practice my 'emcee', I am soooo not prepared. And my dress for the night was only bought on Wednesday, after work at Causeway Point! How bo sim can I be?
Looked around many shops, and I could not find any dress that I fancy. Probably my younger cousin is right, my expectations are too high le...haha..

Luckily I managed to find the 'right' dress at Causeway Point, if not I would not be able to rot at home today. =)

Had a meeting with my boss and my boss's boss yesterday. And we came to the topic about my last day at work. They WANT me to work till end of July AT LEAST... the ang moh boss still hoped that I can work till August...NO WAY! haha.. no doubt I'll have more money coming in, but money is not everything that matters...
I want something that cannot be bought with money, just like what Jiahui said on her blog...I want time...time with family, friends, and myself.

Joycelyn left for Australia last night, or to be exact, this morning at 12.30am. Liping started tearing when we were about to go home, in case we missed the last bus. Then Joycelyn's turn, after that Yiing Yng, Shi ya and I also ended up tearing...
We weren't in the mood to cry! haha...
We will miss you Joycelyn! And I love reading your blog..the way you comment on things are always so funny...wahaha..a grad gown looking like a tablecloth?! haha..that's sad lor..haha..

I can foresee that Sunday, there may be a major tearing/crying session at Changi Airport.. 1 year will pass very fast! And we will meet again soon gals!

同恩《做自己》
词:盘子 曲:蔡健雅
会不会走太快
爱宠坏你和我
能不能停一下
只要一下就可以
偶尔我想偷个闲
好或坏等明天再想
偶尔我会有点腻
好或坏等明天再说

不想爱你或爱他
我只想做自己
只想为了自己
多呼吸一点
就算爱你比爱他更美丽
不如我让自己解放

会不会走太快
爱宠坏你和我
能不能停一下
只要一下就可以
偶尔我想松了弦
而好或坏等明天再想
偶尔我想听不见
是好是坏等明天再说

不想爱你或爱他
我只想做自己
只想为了自己
多呼吸一点
就算爱你比爱他更美丽
不如我让自己解放 oh~
不想为你或为他
我只想爱自己
只想为了自己
再诚实一些
就没有你没有他没有谁
只剩我和自己流浪

会不会走太快
爱宠坏你和我
能不能停一下
一下就可以

Back to normal...

Yup, there were some abnormalities going on in the past few weeks or so. But now, everything is back to normal! It's clear and transparent now, and I, relieved... =)
So, it's time to move on...

Shall not talk about work, anyway the conclusion is just that, it's getting busier and busier, and I have to get ready to clear more things on my side..It's not good to leave s*** for the next person who comes, who is probably my aunt... =S

Went for choir practice at AJ yesterday! Sang songs and I really enjoyed myself during choir, just cannot sing very high notes..maybe next time I should try Loh Wei's suggestion, bend my knees and lean backward to sing, so that I can force my high notes out more easily! Wahaha... (eh but it's quite true leh! Dunno why..haha!)

Met Jiahui, Kevin and Marvin for 'food hunt'! It was nice but we did not have enough time to go to places that we wanted to go initially.. Jiahui and I planned to go Geylang, Newton, Thomson, Serangoon Gdns etc to look for good food. But in the end we only managed to go Newton and Thomson! Anyway, the food is still nice!


We definitely ate more than these..satay, oyster omelette, sugarcane juice, chocolate prata, durian prata, cheese prata, mushroom prata, milky prata (this prata is super huge and it has condensed milk inside, nice but super filling!)

Of course for the pratas, Jiahui and I ate 1 prata each, Kevin is the one having like 2 pratas, and we all shared the chocolate prata. Plus 4 Milo Dinosaurs! ROAR!!!
4 dinos later felt super full, and 2 dinos M and J felt like puking very much...and so we walked a few bus stops down just to wait for the food to digest a little more..haha..

Oh ya! Before going for dinner, Jiahui and I walked around Far East and saw a weird 弟弟!


It's 《全民儿童创意争霸赛》!Haha.. He's wearing a cardboard box, carrying guns/rifles/whatsoever which is also made of cardboard...
Jiahui and I concluded, the 小弟弟 is weird, and his parents are weirder...to let him roam around the shopping centre like that..

I think he has just watched "Transformers"...

And during choir, we saw this:

Our Prague competition cert! In 2002!

Oh, how I miss Praha... I wanna go to Europe!
