MON: Work was as usual. Was making good progress with my calls. Attended the second part of the online Siebel training. After work, the gang made our way to catch 'Date Movie'. For those out there who loved that movie, well don't read on coz I'm going to pay out that movie badly. I knew before watching the movie, that the show was going to be a stupid one. The jokes were lame and soo predictable. I guess its ones of those movies that are brainless (not my kind of movies).
TUES: Had training with Jeffrey So for Siebel again. This system is supposedly going to be faster and much more user friendly. After work, went home to 2 little brats that decided to spend a night over. Went to bed by 10pm but didn't sleep well, as 'baby/princess' was kicking, rolling and slaping me. ARGH!
WED: Started packing a little at work. Room started being more and more cluttered. Walking around became an issue. Every now and then, you'll hear 'ouch', 'omph', 'aaahh'. After work, the gang went over to Clarke Quay to meet up with Chai. Had dinner at the Indonesian restaurant. Food wasn't that bad nor was it that good but I guess the company was more important. Walked around the newly renovated clarke quay. It looks alot better now. Looks very mordern.
THURS: Once again at work, we started to pack more. More oohhss and aahhhsss..

Just another day at work. Its pretty quiet as 3 mates went off for training. So once again I shifted my ass to an empty slot in the office. The reason why I'm a nomad is because we're in the midst of moving office and till we move I am without a proper seat. I requested for a seat with a view that overlooks the city. =)OOh update!! I've been PROMOTED! Yes lil nerdy ner has moved up the corporation ladder. I am now a presales + technical support engineer for ASEAN. The title is quite self explanatory actually but for those who aren't that bright..(hehehe..no offense) I basically help out with the technical support department and do presales for the company - APC. Okay enough about work (I get 9hrs of it everyday!)...just the other day I went for a drive at changi village - very close to the airport. I was watching the planes take off and land. It then hit me that I will not be going away for a long period of time any time soon. Its quite sad. Memories started pouring in and tears started to well up in my eyes. I thought about the first time I left Singapore for Sydney. The mix feeling of excitement, fear, lonliness and clueless expectations that I got was undescribable. I would give anything just to get that feeling back. Those years I spent in Sydney were truly the best times in my life.I learnt so much in that time. More about life, friendship and love.I guess when you're actually in that period of time in your life, you sometimes fail to see what's in front of you. You only get to see the real meaning of it when you're out of it. Well, its been almost 8months now that I've left Sydney, and I'm still missing every bit of it. But with that being said, I'm also learning to appreaciate what I have right now. I'm loving work, my new found friends and loving Singapore again. I know things would never be the same again but that's the reality of life.

Morning Madness
Wednesday, February 8
I just heard the news today that you have decided to take your leave. Without goodbye you left us. Left us with only fond memories of you. Things will never be the same without you, parties will lose its essence, laughter would echo in the emptiness only to return dead.I guess I should be happy, as you left without a throe. Through with pain, through with suffering, you are now at rest. I can only pray in silent and bring comfort to them. As time on earth is precious, you have taught me to enjoy. Be thankful for what I have and give with all that I can. Goodbye now dear love and till we meet again. I'll be thinking of you in all my prayers and pray you do the same.

Crazy in love
Steals the feeling from a love affair
And there’s no place to lay the blame
'Cause in any case, oh, no one cares
Helplessly we just watched it fade away
Neither will admit it
Are we both aching to say.
We, you, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you were so sure of me, I had my little jealousy.
We, you, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I wanna feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.
I know it used to be so easy
One touch and I was high
And I could get intoxicated
Just by looking in your eyes
Oh, baby ain’t there anything we can do
'Cause I know you’re missing me
As much as I’ve been missing you.
We, you, I miss the days when we were crazy in love
When you were so sure of me, I had my little jealousy.
We, you, bring back the days when we were crazy in love
I wanna feel that way again
Remember when we were crazy in love.
Girl, we were more than best of friends
We were crazy in love...

Still..
For a long time things seem to change
It’s been said that nothing good lasts forever
But this love is better every day
We get all excited inside, every time that we get along
He still got love in his eyes, and I still got love in my soul
Still, feels like the first time we met that
I kissed and I told you I love you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we are grown and marry with kids
We still, talk on the phone for hours when I’m away,
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day,
the question everybody asks, is how we make it last,
I tell them I still, he still, we still
Now I still smile in the morning, when I realize I’m still in his arms
We know everything about each other,
but we still keep holding on yeah
We never gonna break up, we be always there to make up
as long as we stick together we climb higher
I’m gonna ride with him to the wire,
our love is never gonna end, we’re on fire
Still, feels like the first time we met that
I kissed and I told you I love you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we are grown and marry with kids
We still, talk on the phone for hours when I’m away,
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day,
the question everybody asks, is how we make it last,
I tell them I still, he still, we still
We go through problems just like everybody else,
but I really don’t mind, ´cause it makes us keep it fresh,
now its sadder than an argument,
is the thought we may have never been
He is my lover, my baby’s father, my lifetime partner and my friend '
Still the man of my dreams, and still the man for me,
and I’m still in love with him, so deeply,
I think I’ll sing it again,
Still the man of my dreams, and still the man for me,
and I’m still in love with him, deep deeply
Still, feels like the first time we met that
I kissed and I told you I love you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we are grown and marry with kids
We still, talk on the phone for hours when I’m away,
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day,
the question everybody asks, is how we make it last,
I tell them I still, he still, we still

Just the way you are...
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore I
wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this farI
took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk toI
want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Can you believe it,its 2006?! Where has time disappeared to? I feel as though time has moved along and left me behind. =(Anyways..this is that time of the year when we make resolutions for the year and in that year we TRY to keep to it.Well this year Im going to be slightly different (kinda got this idea from One Tree Hill). Instead of making resolutions I'm going to write down what I want to do and wish to do this year. hmmm...kinda sound like resolutions right? Aaah..nvm.
So this year's resolution.
1. Try to enjoy Life. Don't get too caught up in something that might take away the joy of the simpliest things.
2. Save money.
3. Visit these countries : Canada, Australia - Sydney of course! but I wanna go other places as well.
4. Be a better daughter.
5. Appreciate my friends more.
6. Be a teacher.
Hmm...that's what I can think of for now. Will let you know if there's any update in it.

TAG. YOU'RE IT.
lost...
(time to bitch)...okay ever since I've been back, one persistant question keeps being asked by almost everyone I meet. "Why did you come back? Don't you like Sydney?"...Well being the diplomatic me and the filial daughter, I had to say.."oh coz I think now is the time to look after my parents, so I decided to come back and work here, to be closer to them". At first, I even got myself to believe that that was true. but now..not so anymore. I never expected me to work in Sydney or Australia for that matter. I did want to come back home and work and maybe move to Canada for a while. But after much thought and reflections I realised that Australia is my home too. The other day I met up with Caroline(Mark's sis -she was here for a week) and started talking to her. I told her that my trip back to Sydney this time around made me realise alot of things. Firstly, I realise that Sydney can NEVER be a place of holiday for me. I think I've built a life there to treat it as a holiday country. I know that place TOO much and TOO well. Sydney was my home during the time that I was writing my university chapter so much so it has become part of me, part of my life. The other thing that I realise is that my life (my friends) are all in Sydney. I can never NEVER find friends like those there. We have shared so much through all these years that we've become more of a family than friends. I've realised the differences between good friends and friends that become your sisters. I do have good friends here in Singapore, they are the ones that you spend time with in the weekends for a catch up over coffee or to go shopping with, basically just for social activities. But those in Sydney are the ones that you can depend your life on. They are the ones that would drop everything just at your call..I love them to bits and I can't imagine life with out them.
So back to what I was saying..now after much thought about where I want to be. I began to wonder why did I come back here? The reason I ran away was to get away from the folks. I needed to break away and live. Then coming back here I thought, things would have changed. They would have realised that I'm all grown up now with a better control of my life..but boy was I wrong!! They're still treating me like a 12yr old. So god help me please, let my parents relax. I feel so trapped here...ARGH! I do get my freedom but at the same time I'm still trapped in alot of ways.
NEways..its been such a long week. I need a break. So to keep me going, I tell myself that one day all this would be worth it..

"Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch ur heart. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just becuase it was with them. They're the people you canshare your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life."

Dirty Dealings...
After dinner, Nav said that he would drive up to meet up and collect his drinks. Whislt waiting, I helped exchange one of da's lychee drinks with Nav's sugar cane. BTW this was all done at the boot of the car. It looked so dodgy coz the carpark was dark and dingy, and while this 'commotion' was going on, I was on a look out for Nav..so it looked like some drug thing happening. It was funny when Nav pulled up SLOWLY with dark tinted windows. I swear if there were cops around, we would surely be questioned. But the suspicion ended when Hairul came to give Doug a kiss and we all kept saying 'Good nighst' and 'I love yous' .
Once again, a memory made to be kept forever!!! This can only happen with this gang in Sydney. Guys I'm definately gonna miss you.

I'm back - AKON
' Don't look no further... I was gone for a minute but now I'm home'
YES I'm back!! Boy do I miss this place. The weather, the smell of this place, the feel to this place,.. but most importantly the PEOPLE!! I think in the last couple of days I've caught up with almost everyone here. Although Mark's been working non-stop, and I haven't got a chance to be with him yet, catching up with the guys has been great! From the night out at BlackBird to Doug's birthday party..I hadn't had the time to breathe.
Only now as I wait for dear Miss Chow to get ready. We're heading to Chinatown then to the Rocks for more phototaking. I promise for pics to be up soon. I have not installed photoshop on my lappy yet so excuse me, but it might take awhile for the pics to be uploaded. Also I'm waiting for people to send me pics. =)
So here I am, in Sydney for the next 2 weeks catching up with my mates and my lover.hehehe..then back to reality. Sigh! Anyways..I'm off to look for food and to catch some sun rays..take care people.

Well..I must say that I DID write alot back in those days. Uni days sure gave me lots of free time. =) Wish I could go back and relive those years again. but life goes on doesn't it? sigh..it does. 13wks back and what have I acomplished?? do I dare say nothing? Life for me hasn't really gone according to plans as such but I'm taking it a day at a time. With parents on my back constantly, I really have no choice but to live a day as it comes. I'm slowly learning to deal with parental pressure all over again. Its not easy, but i guess one has to deal with it.
Okay, I'm really lost for words now. Nothing much has happened lately and I can't think of anything that would be worth saying. Now is that bad or what?! Has my life shifted into a mundane and boring routine that I can't possibly find anything interesting? Dear me..what should I do? what can I do? well for starters, I plan to turn this sat a workout day for me. A run in the morning, followed by a swim, and maybe for the mind I'll play articulate by myself (sad huh?) hehehe...ah wellz.
so there you have, the lowest low down you could possibly read. sigh, sigh, sigh...

Well, with that thought hanging heavily on my mind, I've realise that life is way too short to be fearful or angry at certain things. Do things with full compassion and make everything worth your while. (sound so philosophical eh?!). ANYwaay, just be happy and have fun.
~
As for what I've been up to lately..well, our little Ner (not so little anymore) is finally working. Okay maybe working is not really the right word to use. I'm more like helping out my mum's friend with some stuff in his company. SO, my position currently is as follows:JAVA PROGRAMMER/IT CONSULTANT. Sounds pretty important eh?! hehehe...What my job here is to convert his Delphi softwares to Java platforms. Its alittle hardcore, but slowly I'm getting used to it. Here's the low-down of the company. Its called Emobile. What we do is to provide services through sms. We've built a chip which has our software embedded in it. Currently our business is mainly based in Jarkarta. So with your mobile, you can do simple transactions (e.g checking bank balance, funds transfer, blah blah..). Other services our we provide is allowing customers to use their mobile like VISA cards (direct debit). So for example, when you go to one of our merchants (i.e restaurant) and you're about to pay your bill. All you have to do is to give your mobile num. The restaurant will then send an sms to the bank, which will in return sms u for confirmation of the payment and your pin. And VIOLA! you've paid your bill. Well there're more services that we provide but I'll spare you the boring details. For those interested, well just email me. hehehe...

I'm coming HOME!!! After 15weeks of being back in sunny Singapore, I'm dying to go HOME! I know Singapore is truly home and I love it here (don't get me wrong) but I guess it's the getting used-to-be-back-here thing that is getting to me. I've been gone for 5 years. I've built a life there. Coming back here, meant I had to leave everything back there.My friends, my family, and a chapter of my life. Many will call this a part of life and that this is all a part of growing up. I miss everyone back there.
Fine, its easy making new friends,but making ones that will last and mean as much as those in Sydney - impossible!! Okay maybe I'm over dramatising, but everytime I meet a new person, I find it such a cumbersome to introduce yourself, telling them about what you've done, why you chose to do that..and stuff like that. Its painstaking I tell you. Its worst when you've got a problem and you need to talk to someone (other than your parents) about it. But THERE's NO ONE HERE!!! Imagine I have to tell them all the things leading/relating to the problem before I can tell them about the problem.Sigh..I miss you guys!! Even my old high school friends are so different now, its like we have this 5year gap between us. I'm glad Coral is back. Finally someone who understands me. But I've been pretty busy as well so haven't really had the chance to meet up with her proper.*ner makes a date (Must meet Coral)*
Anyways, yes I'm coming home!! It'd be a short one but we'll make it last. PARTIES PEOPLE!! Its ARTICULATE time!!! hehehe...I can imagine, Mags getting her 'leather' clothes ready, her milk shaking drinks, Thomas's intimate relation with Mark's venus-fly-trap. HAhaha..Classic memories man. So its a date, we're definately going to play Articulate!! Here's the plan..I'll be arriving with my folks on the 27th Oct (thurs) and we'll be leaving a day after my grad 5th (Sat). Well for those that can count (def not me!!!), you can see that I barely have 8days to hang with you guys. So please please please for my sake, keep your days free k!!!
Mags>> This is for you. (well it goes to Debs too but I doubt she reads my blog)
My menu list: Chap Jae (we have to cook this again -this time not too much k)
Chicken wings (the cumin one)
Curry (yes that'd be me!)
Stew (debs can take over this one now- hehehe)
All cakes (to be done by Debs)
Places to eat: Thai-a-long
Outbacksteak House
Lanecove pasta place (the one with 101 pasta, thought of bringing my dad there).
shit...can't remember all the other places I wanna go to!!Anyways you get the point yea.hehehe...
Aw man, another month more!! I can't wait. So till then guys, good morning, good afternoon and good night.

The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.

Baby, you Are...
my sunny sky,
my favourite high,
my bed so warm,
my port in a storm,
my sweetest gift,
my emotional lift,
my best friend
until the end,
my inspiration,
my destination,
my shinning light,
my day and night,
my heart healer,
my anger chiller,
my pain reliever,
my sping fever,
my gem so rare,
my answered prayer,
my heart and soul,
my life made whole,
my merry-go-round,
my "up" when I'm down,
my best chance,
my last dance,
my best shot,
my energizer,
my appetizer,
my morning sun,
my evening fun,
my dancing partner,
my heart's gardener,
my source of laughter,
my everafter,
my heaven sent,
for who I'm meant,
my burning fire,
my greatest desire,
my soul mate,
my sweet fate,
my dream lover,
my "before all
others",my confidence,
my common sense,
my reason why
until I die.
Just in case you didn't
know.

forever missing...
" somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight,
someone's thinking of you, and loving you tonight.."
I love you dadaboo..
