Chocolates N Cheese

Woohoo! Counting down the days to my OZ trip! Yes!

The only thing is. Walau eh, damn sian loh. I was supposed to leave on 27th night and reach 28th night. But something cocked up with my travel agent (STUPID PPL) and then now i’m only leaving on 28th and reaching on 29th. Which actually turns out ok, since I’ve a new project coming up and i’ll have to rush as much as possible since we only have a 2 weeks turn around time.

And then the Thailand coup is driving me nuts! Why ah why!!! Previously, my other job, i had a small chance of going to thailand, then Tsunami happened. So kena canceled. Then now, i really got chance to go, got Thailand Coup. URGH. But my boss is reassuring me that the trip may most likely go ahead as planned. Whew. Hopefully lah. Keeping my fingers & toes crossed.

So, am really excited about the trip. For now, i think i lost all energy to write any more. This is a surprisingly short Blog. i guess it has to do with my fatigue from yesterday’s Zouk. Hehe

Will write soon.

What a title. So negative one. But it’s true. I’m tired, hungry and uninspired.

Tired coz I spent until 4am last night helping Ron with a music track for my boss that he rejected in the end. Sighz. What a waste of effort & energy.

Hungry coz it’s close to lunch time and I’m always hungry. Heh. Nothing new here.

Uninspired coz it’s Wednesday ONLY! Urgh. And I’ve got this nagging work to do but I just can’t get around to doing it. Maybe i need to feel stressed out before I can really produce stuff. Sighz.

BUT

Despite all these, I’m really looking forward to Friday and beyond. Friday’s ZOUK night! Yeay! Really looking forward to that. Need to de-stress. Dunno why i’ve been so stressed out lately. All i can think of when I wake up is when I’ll go back to sleep, and when I sleep all I can think about is waking up. Sighz. Dunno wat’s happening.

Can’t wait to go on my Australia trip. Leaving next Wednesday, arriving on Thursday. Have more or less planned out what I wanna do. This trip’s gonna be REALLY good as it’s been a long time since I’ve taken time off to myself away from everything else. And also, will be meeting Meng Li & Jonathan & a coupla other Utopian mates so it’ll be pretty fun lah. Different from what’s happening at home. There are like 4 events lined up during the time I’m not around. Wah, luckily i applied for my leave a year ago, if not I can’t imagine wat would happen man.

I mean, i feel bad lah, coz they’re already short-handed, but this is something that I’ve planned in such a long while, and it’s my breast fren’s wedding!!! How can I do anything else right?!?!!?!?!

Yesterday, I got news that I’m most likely going to Bangkok for a Nokia-Discovery event. Wah. Happy man I coz if I do get to go, I’ll be going twice in November. Once to go see the place and the rehearsals and stuff (which i’ll definitely extend it into a weekend there) and then the other time for the actual event (which I’ll definitely extend ALSO). Wah. I can’t wait for all the cheap shopping and massages man! This is prob one of the more exciting parts of my job. And I thought my trip to Kuantan and Batam next January would be fun! hehehe…

Anyway, I’m getting hungrier and it’s turning 12noon sharp. I’m going off now for a quick bite, then SHOPPING. Yes, this gal needs to de-stress BIG TIME.

This is a funny story that i need to write here before i forget. Also mainly coz i have nothing else to do now in the office and i’m pretending to be very busy so that my colleague doesn’t try to push his work to me. mwahahaha.

Anyway, we have to raise up money for the next season of Keep It Like A Secret’s t-shirts. The money that we’ve been making out of MAAD still doesn’t cover it totally so I have to think of ways and means to scrimp and save from now until we get the goods since it’s COD. Sighz.

I kept thinking, die die die. Lost hope and such. And mind u, i only found out about this raising money thing on Tuesday morning. So anyway, yesterday, as i was walking to the MRT station, i felt something hard in my pocket. Ok that din sound right. But aiyah, u’ll get wat i mean in a while… Anyway, i reached into my pocket and found $50!!! Wah. God must’ve been telling me that he’ll be helping me. hehehehe… So happy man.

WAIT. That’s not the end of the God Given Signs. This morning (this is the funnier one), i was walking to the MRT again…. as i was crossing the road, I THOUGHT i saw the Chinese God of Fortune holding on to the Golden Nugget. As I walked closer, it was REALLY a Chinese God of Fortune holding the Golden Nugget!!!! He flagged a cab and went off. hahaha… Yeah lah. He’s just an actor lah. U think i would be seeing such things during this month? Siao!!! I’ll go crazy loh.

So, two signs that God is gonna help me. Yeay!!! Until he really rains money on me, I’ll still have to scrimp and save lah.

Hmm.. wat else shd i write to look busy… hmm… ok… last night was a blast. Went clubbing again (yes, i must join the Club-aholic Anonymous soon!). This time it was slightly different. Din go MOS. I think coz the music every week sooooo same it’s sian loh. We had our drinks at O-bar as usual, then headed to Zouk. Yes, the land of youngsters. I would’ve felt old but the fact that they checked our ID (yes, it’s nothing new) showed that i still looked young (as usual, hehe). Zouk was fun! Music was great that night. The scariest part was the crowd at Phuture the first time we went in. Went in halfway, then decided to turn around coz no more path to move. Wanna turn around also no space. Wann move out even worst, CANNOT move!!! everyone was stuck worst than sardines in a tin!!! In the end, i saw the bouncer trying to shine his way out of the club, i decided to just tail him and that method worked so well! Whew. Thought I’d have to stay in phuture stuck to one location and not being able to move. Nevertheless, the first try didn’t scare us off. Never say die attitude mah. The second time in was great! Sommore got space to stretch arms one. hehehe. Music was fabulous, not to mention the company.

All in all, wat a great night! Today’s an even greater day. Half of our management is not around (meaning one of our boss lah), so today everything very relaxed. Remus is blasting off oldies for some reason. It’s so much better than his chinese songs and him crooning to it. Tomorrow will really be TGI Friday coz i think Remus has to leave early to fly to Bangkok to meet Stan, then our whoel management team won’t be around liao.

Just got a disgusting fact about Koalas from Jeremy. This is research for one of our events. “The baby Koala can directly feed FROM its mother anus” DISGUSTING!!!! Imagine if the mom pees, and the baby koala thinks it’s food or water. EWWWW. Ok. Stop being disgusting, ming!!!!

Shall stop here. I think i write a lot liao. I pity those of u who actually sit thru reading this. hahaha.. But I also appreciate it lah. At least it gives me an avenue to talk to many many ppl at one time. heh. Sometimes talkative ppl get tired talking too u know!!!

=)

Woohoo! My wall’s getting finished tonight! Can’t wait to see the end. The fumes from the spray can’s making me a lil disoriented but it still smells pretty good. Dun get any ideas- i aint’ no druggie. hahaha.

Anyway, that’s only ONE part of the house that is done. We’re gonna photolog the whole process from the first wall to the other end. By the time we’re done, i’ll be charging entry to my house coz it’ll be like a Keep It Like A Secret museum!!!!! Will continue posting more pics about this. It’s again very relaxing and amazing to watch the artist at work. Something I know I’ll never have the talent at- drawing!

Anyway, yesterday’s MAAD sales was Mad!!!! Was very happy and encouraged! Can’t wait to see what the next few weeks bring about. I hope that it’ll only improve from then on! What I can’t wait to see is how much potential our thing can grow into after we’re done with our business kits. I hope that it’ll be CRAZY, but even if it isn’t, i know it’ll be fun every part of the way!

Website for www.keepitlikeasecret.org has been updated a lil. we had to relook at the cost structure to be fairer to the international audience, but also am trying to maintain a privilege for our home peeps who are supporting us.

I’m so tired right now but yet can’t sleep coz am so excited. Head’s spinning a lil more. Opened all the available windows and turned on all the fan but the fumes are getting stronger. URGH. Hope this doesn’t make me sick. I’m feeling more and more disoriented by the fumes since my house is so small and no matter where i run, i can’t hide! WAIT: taking more pics of WIP…

OK. So, two weddings to look forward to this month. Both frens of whom I shared my teen years with. Heh. First up: Matthew’s wedding in JB. Matthew’s the brother of one of my bester friends, Joyce. What I remember of him are his interesting stories and how he would stand up for us- a really good quality in a fren. Although now we’re all grown up, it still was really nice meeting up with him when he came down to JB… that was a long time ago i think… and when he mentioned he’ll send me the invite, I did wonder if it was true! hahahaha.. so i was happy and amazed he remembered me. Appreciated that!!!!!

Next up, end this month’s Meng Li’s wedding. WAH. Never expected her to tie the knot, but now that she is, i’m ever so glad she has found someone that will cherish and treat her right!!!! Am really excited about this, only coz I’ve been waiting for almost more than a year now (if my calculations are correct!) and even longer for her to be hitched!!!! Have known Meng Li from when I was 11. Wah. So long man!!!! We used to stay close to each other, so I guess that fact did help a lot in us becoming ‘breast frens’. Sigh… My breast fren’s getting married- yet another sign I’m getting older and older.

Can’t wait for my australia trip man! It’ll be such a refreshing thing to be away from Singapore once again and to be travelling like i used to when i was in milan. This time, all by myself. Scary but exciting and am really looking forward to the break from work. I think once I get back, I should be refreshed again. i guess it’s this way with work…. That’s why the tourism industry in the world will never die, coz ppl always need a holiday to get away from the mundane things in life!!!!

Ok. I think I shall go try and get some fresh air in the toilet or something now before I start hallucinating and type nonsense.

Will post pics of the work on the wall Part 2 soon

Keep spreading the Secret!
