Against all odds

Sad day for Peiyi and I. SIGH SIGH SIGH. Everyone is starting to leave! First was my Blue Eyed Boy. I literally got lost in his eyes (no kidding)! That guy got fired. It was pretty sad considering he is a father. Hmmm. But then again, it was really his fault. People shouldn't drink so much so often. Especially not if they have work the next day! Today was exceptionally sad though. That guy. SIGH!!! That's all py and I could do. Sigh and sing, very appropriately, "Against All Odds" by Westlife and Mariah Carey. And as some people, who know me well enough, know, I can drama the songs very well. The first time anyone sees me 'acting out' the songs, they will laugh till their sides hurt. I can confirm that. Just ask py. She sees it all the time and it still cracks her up. HEH!

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave


So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face


Really apt for today's mood. SIGH!

We were really disappointed about some stuff today. Boring! Enough to put py to sleep on the shit boat. Ok la. Not really in the best of moods today. But this always encourages me (:

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you;
He will not let the righteous fall.


Hope it helps you too (:

Well, I am sure I made DSL guy's day really memorable. I am an IDIOT! I think I must have been dreaming of something. After getting back, I was in urgent need of the latrine. Walked the the bicycle racks to get my bike. I slotted in the key, turned it and attempted to unlock the damn thing but it was stuck. Ok, fine. I asked Ryan for help. He said he could, but he might have to break it. I said "Go for it." He really broke the lock! He kicked it and the lock broke. My gosh. He's really good at it. It's his second time breaking bicycle locks. So... I was all grateful and stuff, said thanks. Then I rolled the bike out of the stand, one hand on the handle, the other on the seat.
WTF! Why is the seat so hard?!?! SHIT! It's not my bike! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NOOOOOOOOO~ Worst thing? My key was stuck inside. Oh no. Evidence. So I went all Grand Theft Auto and rode off with the stranger's bike. Guess whose bike it was. The guy that makes me want to kill myself so I don't ever have to hear him again! WHY?! Damn, the seat was pretty high too. Initially, I could get on it. On the way back to the pump room... That's a different story. The bike fell! Fortunately, my feet touched the ground before the bike hit the ground. If not ah... Paiseh! There were people around. Luckily Kongsberg was gone by then. PHEW.
Talking about Kongsberg... Haha. Ok, shall not get started. I just found another function for my phone (:


Hey you! I know you are reading my blog cos you just messaged me. Thanks so much. You're really such a nice guy. It's great to have known you for so long. It's been what? 5, 6 years. Hmmm. Really, thanks (: Be happy. I am happy for you.

Today is rest day. No exercising. Need some well deserved rest. My obliques are really aching! Have not been working on them for quite some time. In the past, I would exercise not so often, but intensively. Then I would get sick. It was really bad. Now I understand my body better. I won't fall sick! Until I start Insanity. If I dare. So scary. Max interval training? Hmmmm.

Just dance

I had a great weekend. Saturday was work followed by OG outing. I think I last saw him on Saturday. Hmmmm. He's so cute huh. And young. 24 only. Plays the guitar, has a good job, looks dreamy. Well yeah. He has everything working for him. Shall we stay onboard too? Maybe Wednesday. Haha!

Initial plans for Holland V were cancelled as Alicia, Darrell and Kenny were already in town. So had to head from work to home to Somerset. I was starving by the time I got there. Then I led everyone on a wild goose chase to find Thai Express. I thought I remembered one at Centrepoint. I was sadly mistaken. It was Heeren :/ Ended up eating at The Handburger. My third time there, second time eating the stuffed portobello burger. It's made of tofu, spinach, portobello mushroom and baked with breadcrumbs then put between a rustic bun. Ah! Nice! The guys all ordered huge ass burgers which were stacked like crazy. It had like bacon, onion rings, beef, cheese and the works. I guess that's why it's called The Works. Haha! Scary. I'd never eat that.

As usual, we camwhored. This time outside 313's Forever 21 with hundreds of people walking past. No one dared to ask people to help us take photos. The woman we finally asked was some hostile creature. Anyway, the photos were taken on my incredibly lousy 5.0 megapixel handphone. So they aren't that nice ): What IS nice is that the OG finally got together again. Although some from the usual group weren't able to make it, we decided to just meet up. I really missed hanging out with them. They made the start of my JC life great! (: Thanks guys!

Headed to Cold Rock for ice cream because I didn't want beer or coffee. Haha. Ice cream was on me(: Because we only bought one, so I didn't mind. Haha. One regular cup is $6.50. Bought the Ferrero flavour. Was alright I guess. Didn't really taste like Ferrero or anything. But the texture and consistency of the ice cream was really goooooood. I liked it! We played Albatross Soup. I was too tired to even think! But Deyong refused to spare us. Ok so in the end we guessed the bloody answer. So lame. So gross! No wonder I thought of it. HAHAHA.
Had a lonely ride home on the train. I enjoy it. Being alone... Gives you time to reflect and just think about yourself every now and then (: However, it wasn't very enjoyable too cos I swear some dude was trying to look down my shirt. Perv. F off!

Woke up early on Sunday! Meant no long sleep this entire week! But it was worth it. Went to Sentosa with YX (: Suntanned and just talked. Haven't done either in a long long time. Nice to catch up with friends (:
I was afraid the sun wouldn't show face. Morning was really cloudy. Thought it might rain. I checked the weather forecast and it said morning was cloudy and afternoon would have thunderstorms. Thank goodness they were wrong predictions (:
The sun was a little odd. At times it was really painfully hot. Other times, it disappeared behind the clouds. Then it started to drizzle. Not long after, it stopped. Sometimes the wind was nice and warm, sometimes it was really hot and carried lots of sand into our eyes. But that's the beach I guess. I wanna go back soon. Maybe play a little beach volleyball (:
Thank the heavens I didn't put on weight. If not I wouldn't go to the beach also. Paiseh. Started on a new workout yesterday called "Hip Hop Abs" from the creator of the Insanity Workout. Just about 20 minutes of cardio and another 20 minutes for the hips, buns and thighs. AHHHH SHIOK LAAAA! It's like dancing! And I love to dance. At least I can dance. At least I think I can. I looked at myself in the mirror. Not bad la. Anyway, if conventional workouts bore you, you can switch up to that every once in a while. It's really fun and it makes your muscles which you never knew you had, sore! NICE.
Next workout: Insanity (: Can't wait. I have all the motivation in the world right now! The only problem now is the diet. Breakfast from the rig usually consists of bacon, eggs, pancakes/waffles, sausage, pastry and salad. I eat the eggs, occasionally one sausage and then eat hell of a lot of pancakes/waffles. OMG. The pancakes are nice laaaa. I eat at least 2 every time it comes. It is EVIL I tell you! SIGH. Then I will snack on buscuits and then at home there's always cakes! WHY?! Why is there temptation everywhere? I can't resist food. I'm surprised I'm not a big fat slob now. My friends have always told me I should be really fat by now, but by some miracle called metabolism, I am still in shape. Thank you! (:

I WANNA TAKE THE BILLIE PUGH TOMORROW! Bet it'll be fun (:


Starting to feel a little different. Sigh. I don't know la. I really don't know what I should do.

Taurean

Subscribed to some daily horoscope crap at horoscope.com.

25/4: Taurus
Have you been harboring a secret desire for someone you believe thinks of you only as a friend, Taurus? Don't be surprised if you learn differently today. This is a day when hidden passions may suddenly be revealed - and your friend could unexpectedly divulge a covert attraction to you! The only downside is that sometimes it can be a letdown when fantasies become reality. Take note of your reaction before moving ahead.

Stuff like this confirms my scepticism.
If only life was so easy, so readable. Then again, it'll lose the fun.
Do we really want to know what's going to happen tomorrow, or five years down the road?

My grandpa reads palms. He's said stuff that made me cry, made me laugh, made me angry. But I decided I won't let things like that dictate how my life is going to play out. I know some people resign to it. They tailor their lives around their 'destiny'. CRAP!
Then again, it's fun to read stuff like this. Makes me laugh. That's why I subscribed! It's entertainment.

Miss Terrorist

The shit boat got stopped by the Police Coast Guard. NOOOOOOOO. I had no ID on me, not even the Maersk ID card. I held up the boat for 10 minutes while those people with nothing better to do took down my particulars and did god knows what on theirs. Hopefully everyone had a sense of humour about it. Paw called my mum. I thought I was gonna DIE when I went back to the office. Luckily, she was on the phone and I ran as fast as I could out of the office and back home! PHEW! She hasn't mentioned anything about it. YET. Apparently, this is the second time in 3 years that the Coast Guard have stopped one of our boats!

Why am I so unlucky?! I'm really not meant to go onboard the boat and the rig. Everytime I go, there are complications. I got slapped with a stupid safety violation the last time. Now I got held up by the Coast Guard! ENOUGH! I don't want to do it again. Today, I tried to be nice. Thought I could surprise someone. Oh so fun! HA!

The rain was pissing down today. Woodlands MRT was pretty flooded. Shelter would do nothing to shelter you. Went CWP to walk around. Ended up spending more money. $20 ):
I should really stop buying stuff. So impulsive. Let's just assume these are necessities. Shoes are necessities! Without them, I cannot go out and meet nice people like you (:

OOOOOOOPP!

It's been almost 3 months working here. What my mum said was true. I never thought I would actually make friends here. But I have! If I managed to, then there is hope for 'anti-social' people like me. I'm starting to feel more comfortable around others :)

I guess you can say that I've had a great time here. And it's all thanks to the guys! All the old men. Haha! It gets boring at the pump room. I always look forward to them visiting or daytripping. It brightens up yet another dull day for a brief moment. We had fun staying onboard and hanging out after work, playing stupid games, taking photos and eating supper at 11pm. We didn't even mind that we had to wake up at 0430 the next day to take the 0515 boat back to the pump room. It was fun I haven't had in a long time. The first night staying onboard after they left was boring! We just hung out at the office and FB-ed till it was time to sleep. We lay in bed talking to each other for a little bit, saying how much we would miss having them around. We hoped that feeling of missing them would last only a fleeting moment. It's better now I guess. Cos they still come and visit us every now and then. Like Xiao Diiii, who drops by to steal bottles and bottles of water everyday. WJ is like a big brother to me. I can confide in him and he always cares and offers me advice. Choy is another big brother figure. He's extremely nice! He woke up at 5am just to see us down the vertical ladder safely. SO SWEEEET! Mok likes to talk a hell lot of crap and acts like a big shot all the time, but we all know deep down inside, he is as caring and protective of us too! The 2 E&I guys still daytrip so we see them everyday. They stole cornflakes for us :) Cheeeeahhhhh... I like his ID photo very much! He never fails to make me smile :) Jeremy aka Powder Boy is an interesting character. He is very fair and he has very amusing expressions! And I like his smile! But we are still wondering what's up with his hair. OOOOPP! (:

Sadly, we will be leaving in about a months time. Don't know if we will see them again! I sure hope so. It's true! I am very fond of them all (:

Anyway, I feel like I've just started a new chapter of my life. Things have changed and probably for the better. I wish I could pretend that everything is ok but it's not that easy.
I thank you for respecting my decision. I wish you all the best in whatever you do, and will pray for you every night as I always have. I do not hate you. I respect the person that you are, but I really want you to let go. I am not as good as you think I am. One day you will realise that. Please go out and experience life. Stop holding on to something that is already gone.

Hide

I wish I wasn't such a bitch sometimes. I'm sorry I'm cold and heartless. Nothing I did was easy for me. But I can't always be holding on to something that just isn't meant to be. Sorry.
