SEX wasn't on my mind...

Believe me, SEX wasn't on my mind.. :(

Finally, this entry is not gonna be one for reminsicing purpose. I'm gonna talk abt an incident that happened in the office yesterday... i was possessed by the legendary blurry monster again... argh.

Yesterday, my office phone rang twice. FYI, my phone usually doesn't ring at all. When the phone rang, the caller ID would show the name of the caller if the caller is from VISA.

*tu tu tu tuuu... tu tu tu tuuu..*
the phone rang

Caller ID: *Clare Yung*

Me: I've no idea who this person is, so i took a deep breath and picked up the phone.. Hello?

Caller: May I speak to Clare Yung?

Me: Arh?? Wt.. how come this person is asking to speak to himself!?! and who the hell is clare?? i thought i heard wrongly, so.. Sorry, who are you looking for?

After some commotion and some colleagues' guidance, i managed to jot down his name and contacts on a piece of post-it note. And found out...
.
.
.
Clare happens to be my boss's boss's boss.......

OMG..

that's not the worst thing.

FYI, the caller said he's John Teo from Singapore exchange (SGX). And.. on that cursed piece of post-it note.. i wrote..
.
.
.
.
.
John Teo
S E X
9********
.
.
.
.
ok,laugh laugh laugh.. :(

for the benefit of those who didn't catch it, i wrote SEX instead of SGX..

and, i didn't realise it when i passed the note to my colleague.

my colleague: S-E-X?!!!

Me: Singapore Exchange larrrhh..

after a few seconds, --> utterly embarrassed.

what signal was i trying to send out??!!

argh.

SEX waaasn't on my mind at all lor.. believe meee.. :(

*tu tu tu tuuu... tu tu tu tuuu..*
the phone rang for the 2nd time

I dreaded the sound of my phone ringing. But this time, the caller ID only indicated a number. FYI, when an unknown phone number appears on the caller ID, 1. it's either someone's modem dialing my number which usually results in a series of *tuuu*'s, OR 2. one of my frens..

Thinking that I couldn't be so suay twice in a day, I picked it up hastily.

To my horror dismay.......
a voice with a indian accent answered my stoney, sulky and sian hello.. damn
i had to ask him to repeat so many times and i still couldn't get who he is asking for. Something like "&^$$#& admin manager".

When i turned to my colleagues for help. They all shrug in unison. Who the hell is that?

Picking up my composure i'm not a well-trained receptionist, i asked for his name while my colleagues are walking over here to help me.

This time, it's Nicolas from Crystal Wine.

Wine.

V*sa and Wine.

Weird.

In the end.... i found out
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
he dialed the wrong number..

@%$**^#

and hanged up on me!!

%@&*(^#*^(^

my phone is cursed lar..

**NOTE: Nothing is changed to protect those who are rude to me.

All Jazzed up!!

All Jazzed up!!

As if the reminscing from the previous entry is not enough.

Guess wad?

I just finished watching Swing Girls.. *ll*g*lly..

FYI, swing girls is abt a group of non-musicians learning to play jazz music at an absurdly fast rate.. then leading to a finale performance in a concert.

a 101% feel-good movie.. (simin, mabbe u dun watch lar.. later nightmare again)
those who wants the clip, i see if a can make any "arrangements"..haha

L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole is heard at the ending of movie.. So Springy, So Swingy and i'm still So Stoney... hurhur..

It just rekindled my love for jazz again!!!

err.. but, no way, i still don't wish to go back to band.

Here's the lyrics:

L-O-V-E performed by Nat King Cole!
Words by milt gabler and music by bert kaempfert

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you

-trumpet instrumental-

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don’t break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

the music will be uploaded soon, perhaps tmr.. :p

So, Stay tuned!!

Reminiscing the good old days..

Reminiscing the good old days..

caution: this post is solely for reminiscing purposes.. that comes with a tinge of haolian-ness and mushiness.

SwissWinds is used to be known as SwissBand by many many ppl in my generation. The stubborn old me still prefer to address it as swissband lar. U jus duno the difficulty and agony i met when it's time to fall out (kanan busein?) and shout out thes tongues tyings "swisswinds", instead of the good, old and humble "swissband".

Recently, someone brought up that swissband has gotten gold with honours this year. And my first immediate reaction was... "ohh..". A plain, indifferent ohh.... I jus could not bring out the same joy and contentment i had 5 years ago.. omg, 5 whooping years liao??.. I did not even jump for joy when my own SAJC band clinched a gold medal in 2001..
in fact, i was pretty devastated when SAJC got into the finals... think, 1 more round of intensive trainings againn.. and an even stiffer competition.. argh. why did i join sajc band ar?!!!

Looking back.. i'm glad that i was part of the swissband family back then even though it didn't end perfectly as it should have.

Swissband taught me what madness passion is. I still remember the good old days when I wud meet up with a few friends to practise in the bandroom before school everyday!! When the bandroom was closed for exams, some crazy very patriotic and loyal ppl like me will gather at the corridor outside bandroom.. for i dun remember wat oso. Oh mann.. those were the days.... where can i find such time now??!! :'(

hmm.. alot of ppl say first love is the most difficult to forget. i hope the same applies here too: the first gold is the most difficult to forget.. we had made historical record (i abit kua zhang) when we clinched the first gold medal ever for swiss cottage secondary school in 1999. It's pure sweat and blood okiee.. dun mind me haolian here hor.. Back then, we never tasted gold before, we were all yearning for it and the "band to get gold medal in 1999" wish was almost never left out in the sec2s autograph books. We will always be remembered as the first batch to open the gold medal way.... provided that we werent badmouthed by SOME ppl..

haha.. enuff of the first gold. I'm gonna talk abt my first formal band concert at victoria concert hall. It's the hardest to forget too. I could still list out that night's repertoire now - but mabbe not in sequence larr. They are:
1. Trailrage Saga
2. Declaration, Ballad and Finale
3. Yagi Bushi
4. Yorkshire Ballad
+ interval +
5. Asean Selections
6. Memories of the 60s
7. Carribean Hideaway
8. La Storia -the song where everyone cries

encore: el carilaro unsure of the spelling now

somehow i think i still got the sequence correct. hmm.. any challenges? hehee

Swissband is also the place where my jiemei-ships were forged.. The same shoes, same black-white friendship bands, same smiley keychains, similar outdoor bags.. etc etc.. Ohh!! and the "save the lecture" teeshirts which attracted alot of unwelcome attention in malaysia.. heehee..

Even though the passion died (regretfully), I'm glad my jiemei-ship will never go away..and the good old memories will never be forgotten..

Yi Lu Shun Feng.. and Good luck

Yi Lu Shun Feng.. and Good luck

a listening ear wanted...

urgent!! A listening ear wanted..

yes, i'm looking for a listening ear becus i need it.

no, i'm not looking for ppl to whine at.

it's abt me (again) owning a listening ear to pay attention to ppl's needs, a smarter tongue mouth to say things that ppl wants to hear and a sharper mind to process all the info presented right in the front of my eyes quicker.

admittedly, my attention lifespan is extremely short which maybe explains why i'm so blur most of the time.

how how? any cures?

heehee sometimes, i would think that my violent & stubborn refusal to listen is due to my mom's constant naggings, flamings, insultings, etc etc..

I thought if i'm gonna take all these naggings, flamings, insulting seriously, and if i don't learnt to adopt the right-ear-in, left-ear-out strategy, early enough, i may not be able to survive till the ripeful age of 21++.. hey i'm still 21!! ahaha..

yup, i succeeded in protecting my life dignity.. but at the same time, i lost the ability to listen well. in the end, i'm still not going in the right direction afterall.. not wrong, but it's not totally right. i'm doing great injustice to my siblings, frens, salesman, roadshow helpers, ngr..etc etc..

i seriously need to learn to listen.. which boils down to... i need to have the patience to listen and learn.. which boils down to.. i shdn't procrastinate now.. which also reminds me of the things i need to do:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
to watch the incredibles dvd, the downloaded liang jing ru's live concert, the borrowed prince of tennis anime, and the much-delayed yakitate cartoon..

ahh.. i got so many things to watch.

oh ya, emm...
.
.
.
.
did i miss something?

Special day..

Special Day..

today is supposed to be a special day..

but no one, who knows, remembers.

heh.. :p

No, i'm not having mood swings!!

No, i'm not having mood swings!! ROAR*

I'm feeling sad suddenly.

Mood Swings?

Nahh... Sometimes, i think mood swings are way too much overhyped.

we seem to shrug most of the excuses to mood swings..

i duno abt u..

but deep deep in my heart, i know the reasons myself..

yes, reasons, plural and lotsa them..

Shd i keep them to myself?

*nodnods*

hint: if u bug me enuff, i may tell u.. muahaha

What's ur love style?

What's ur love style?

Your Love Style is Manic

For you, love is the ultimate rollercoaster And you love to hold on tight and enjoy the ride Every time you fall in love, it feels like the first time And while it's exciting and exhilarating... It's also stressful and scary!

What's Your Love Style?

i think my mood is more like a rollercoaster..

Lotsa new things..

lotsa new things!!..

On Monday, after lunch, I received an email from my IA tutor. She asked if she could come for a 2nd inspection visit on friday. That's one piece of sad news. Imagine 3 fornightly of reports untouched. I'm dead. So, i procrastinate to ask my sup if she's free this fri.. i was hoping that she'll have other appointments on fri if i ask her later..

"hi sophie, my tutor is coming down for a 2nd visit. she's wondering if u r free from this friday onwards.. "

ya, i sorta lied... and i din get away from that. :(
My sup replied saying she'll be free on fri morning... 9.30am!! omg i thot i was going to be so dead. So, i unwilling sent an email to Mdm Wu (my tutor) abt the time. And guess wat?!!
.
.
.
.
.
she couldnt make it!!! HURRAY!!!~~
i get more time preparing my lies and lines for her next visit! heehee!

After work, I had abt 1 to 2 hours before meeting my mother at commonwealth for Guan Yin Liang Liang's aka Goddess of Mercy's bday. Just when I was walking towards City Hall Mrt Station, thinking abt where to rot, I saw a very familiar face presented in front of me...

HUITING!!~~

haha.. she's alone too.. erm, not quite lah.. when i met her, she was alone. But actualli she's on a date with her so-called veri good fren aka "ex"-bf, ivan poh. I think he must be very angry at me for spoiling their date. *oops*
Anyway, later huiting chased him away cus we want some private time by ourselves. It's been dinosaur months since i met her!! And I'd happened to pass by her attachment company(3M at woodlands) when i took a cab home last night!! haha..

so wat happened to ivan? hmm.. i'm not a meanie hor.. i gave him back huiting in less than a hour. 30mins? And i got a very belated present from her. We went to citylink's HMV and i took out to a gun, pointed to her head and demanded she bought me a TWINS album as present.

Tadaaa~~ That's one new CD..

Thank You Rainbow!!~

:)

Happy April's fool!!~
On Friday, I was fooled by only one person.... she's suzanna bte husseint.jing.bing.. humphs, that's the price for fooling me.. bleahh

Friday was such an eventful day. I forgot to bring my hp to work... and i'm supposed to meet the gap spree organiser that day to collect my gap bag.

No prizes for guessing wat happened next.

I asked for an early lunch, went all the way back home to retrieve my hp and later, took a cab to orc to collect my bag. After everything, i didn't even need to call her at all. But getting my hp by my side has indeed put my heart more at ease. hmmmm... now i think hp is more impt than ngr.. gasp!! wat am i toking abt?? *zipped*
