i could just imagine my coll giving me the ‘is-she-okie-look’ whenever i squeeze this pink little pig to release stress.
appreciate the tots though.
thanks pumpkin !
and yes, if you do see me squeezing this little pig in office, its means..
‘come back in 5 mins’
i’ll appreciate that.

chance across this card and its cost a whopping 16 bucks!
blank inside.
16 bucks for a blank card?
what’s this? monies-suckin-shop?
whatsup?!
i’ve listed up 3 reasons for you. foc. how nice.
being single:
> freedom.
lotsa lotsa lotsa freedom. free to do what i want, free to go where i want, free to go with who i want. okie okie, jen does noe my whereabout. but that’s abt it.
> leisure afternoon by myself.
i loved it. lunch-ed by myself, with a book, waiting for jen.
thinking abt nothing except me, myself & i.
> me, myself & i.
isnt it nice? its all abt me, me, me.
i dont have to go all out factoring someone else needs /wants / fears in my life. this is why europe and bike-tinky are possible ! *giggle
oh wait, let me end off with saying – i havent reach the stage where i could catch a movie with myself. i cant do it.
being single & its fun – it was almost worth bringin out the champagne !
lets make ur time worth it by listing out 3 great things abt being attached.
being attached:
> love
plenty of love, love, love.
knowing that someone cares abt you, being there for you, the whole works.
its nice having someone to support you emotionally, mentally, whatever-ly. *grin
> constant companion
i suppose? right?
someone doing crazy stuff, silly stuff, surprising stuff, happy stuff. anything goes. well, its nice doing things / activities with someone other den yourself.
> whatsup?
why did i volunteer to write the great things abt being attached. cant think of any other reasons, all else seems to fall under ‘plenty of love’ that’s seems to covered ALL. i’m struck. help me out?!
write in to me when you came out with reason #3.
______________________________________________________
sidetracked !
love is magic:
falling in love with or without fitting the bill.
the want to be with this person.
let me decipher that for you:
its all abt magic.
when you met someone and you knew oh yeap ! she’s someone that i’m seeking for. does it happen to you?
it doesnt seems to happen to me! hehe !
maybe i’m too cautious and over-think (guy’s fault!)
maybe i am wiser.
maybe the person i am afraid of hurting is myself. i dont wanna fall in love only to have that person tellin me i am not what he is seeking for.
so, no. no magic.
i never like magician in the first place.
*laughter.
cool. it suppose to be a fun post.
you read it, while i njoy my singlehood !
where’s the remote for the idoit box?
groove.
pumpkin for writing the bus arrival time coding for me..
.. and for stayin up late doing just that.
that was sweet.
– groove –
sms conversation between jen & me.
started the ball rolling:
maybe i shld ask the guy in class out for dinner. i do have his contact, being 27, newly single (3 mths!) i dont exactly feel that shy. prince charming dont swing by jurong just because i wrote a note to santa. the only thing that’s stoppin me is rejection. not the easiest thing to deal with.
explanation: as usual, throwing out my tots at her. but it’s true izzit? smts you have to go lookin for prince charming. prince charming dont fall off the sky. just like groove dont fall off the sky. and yes, nobody like having the door slam in your face.
jen:
yeah, u write to santa and wish for someone with all our good points combined.. tall and look good in WHITE shirt. durh haha !
explanation: i have a thing with guys in white shirt. dont ask.
me:
can i be greedy & wish that he’s good with his hands too?
explanation: being smart is a bonus but able to fix stuff (fan / toilet bowl etc etc) around the house is bonus x10. sorry, happened to see that sorta stuff as a man’s job. come on, do you expect me to fix it?!
so, anyone match my criteria?
write in to apply.
*joking !
jie’s tree. day. 
“dear santa, leave presents take sister. ho, ho, ho – only joking”
groove.
for unknown reasons..
i found myself at a ktv laughin my head off at the girls.
for the record, i dread ktv.
chinese songs, yeap yeap, there’s english but still, mostly it’s mandarin.
for someone who demanded guy to switch to class 95 whenever i hop into his car..
i had fun, mandarin & all.
*the pretty girls.
gift-exchange.
agnes’s gift was my baby.
we were told to buy ‘unique pressie’
mentioned to jen & i asked her – do you have any flowers thats below 20 bucks, delivery included?
*wink
she: no. what abt xmas plant?
me: what the hell is xmas plant?!
i demanded. but i loved d idea aldy.
*swing by CSM (city square mall) and noticed FEF selling this little pot of xmas tree. perfect. here’s go. 
*okie, i promise to get you that next year.
*my fav host of the year – she’s witty, she’s pretty, she’s tall, she’s daring, she’s sing well, she’s even dance (damn ! god is unfair! :)) and she’s my girl (ops team) wahahaha
*the ‘old’ ops team. (me / ling / ms chan )
– god, i missed ling.
ling saw me & happily exclaimed ‘you become prettier.’
me: ‘same old, same old’
wave hand in dismissed.
ling: ‘must have guys chasin after you right?’
impressed, nothing escape her sharp eyes.
shake my butt at the girls when i guessed wrongly. tot that kan / elke brought my gift. *ah ! my camera is dead, upload the photos tml. hello, not my butt-pix ! my pressie from ling ! =) 
the 4 hrs endless laughter cum catching up cum singing cum buffet (by sakara ) $37 each. worth it.
*lets get hungry !
*monkeying around girls
groove.
considered myself informed.
she’s going europe, with or without me.
its smt she wanted to do, plus the fact i might be attached (or married) by 30. there’s really no reason for her to stay..
*tears
the tears just came. too fast for me to stop them.
text guy. knowing that he’s already in la-la land. well, i just needed to tell someone den & i needed someone who understand the sorta friendship jen & i share.. without giving me a funny look & askin ‘why are you crying?’
well, maybe guy dont get it afterall.
haha !
so les. i know.
it’s not as if she didnt ‘leave’ me before. her 3 -mths backpack last year.
well, perhaps, i shld explain here..
why did i cried?
everyone in my life seems to leave, somehow or rather.. even she’s leaving. okie, perhaps, its a bad idea to explain. since i’m still upset abt it.
tissue pls. haha !
nah, i’m fine. at least by the time you read this. i know if she’s going, she will be back. i can always visit her, its not gotta happen now blah blah blah.
but still.. can i revisit this entry? 🙂
G.
opening speech by groove:
long. overdue entry.
i wanted to blog abt these, yet, i didn’t, forthright isn’t me.
but the time have come.
being a female species, of coz i’m gotta blog abt our dear male counterpart.
no offence to anyone.
simply treat the following as #101 lessons from your friendly female buddy.
lesson #1
reply sms.
yes you are busy. like super busy. like super super-SUPERRRRR-busy.
i understand. (understanding being my middle name)
but please, take the time. make the EFFORT to reply.
call it courtesy, call it showing concern, call it whatever you want.
but reply.
1 day late, forgive-able, 2 days late, okie.. benefits of doubts. 3 days late .. wow, i aldy forgotten the issue. 5 days late, yawn. why bother now?
havent you hear? even the papers chase after the lastest news !
maybe i am someone who HAVE to reply. its beyond me to simply read, delete, you dont have to reply. i cant. i see it as a responsibility? friends msg me to share some issues, the least i could do is to acknowledge the issue & provide some comfort.. by simply reply.
whatever it is, i just cant ignore msgs. am i nice or stupid?
anyway, i expected the same from everyone else.
so, dug up ur phone. make sure u reply me.
lesson #2
dont leave a girl at counter.
omg ! i cant believe i am really writing abt this. but, what the heck !
i was being left behind at the fast food counter.
my male friend got his food & left me there.
i’m not sayin i need a man to hold my hand & lead me back to the table, but pls. dont. do. this.
wanna noe how i feel?
he ordered. he collected his food. he left.
the staff gave me a sympathetic look ‘your order mdm?’
‘i dunno what i want suddenly’ shake my head in regret.
‘maybe a fish burger? a small fries?’
‘i dunno’
all i wanted den was to go home.
either i am so pampered of having pple ordering food for me that i almost expect certain pple to do so or he is simply insensitive.
anyway, i’m not askin for the sky or tiffany.
just order for me.
lesson #3
never ask me out for coffee & went MIA yourself.
this is the main reason that pushes me to write this entry. lesson 1 & 2 are simply icing to the cake.
so pay attention.
ditto lesson #1 – however busy you are, reply sms.
two ‘offenses’ already:
1st – YOU asked me out.
2nd- YOU didnt pick up my call nor reply sms.. until when it’s no longer impt.
yes, you can be busy. like having meetin with the president, which you arent. so, have the courtesy to pick up my call or inform me at your own initiative if you cant make it for coffee.
second. whatever reasons it is, like you suddenly had a bad hair day. have the courtesy to msg me too. and not let ME be the one who called AND text you whether the coffee session is on.
do you still need a reason?
fine.
you are a guy.
be a gentleman. show some responsible.
my understanding only stretches that far. otherwise you ended up losing a friend (aka me) and being blogged at.
closing speech by groove:
either i am being very stupid or very brave for bloggin these.
whatever it is, like you, i have limited patience & limited understanding.
if understanding is what you are seekin, make room for me to exercise some understanding-skills.. simply ‘sorry for the late reply.. sorry, i cant make it for coffee coz.. ‘
let me end this entry with a quote from ms chan ‘friendship is a two-way traffic’
yeap, if you are not gotta put in effort.
what make you think you are special enough for me to continue puttin in effort?
i’m not gotta accept apologise.
for, its no longer matter.
i just want you to learn from your mistakes & hopefully you change for the better. sound like my mum but yeap ‘it for your own good’
– from your friendly blogger groove.
“If its looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck”
msg from guy.
explanation from guy.
chatted with kj.
laughed with kj.
and, strangely, KJ is the one who drove home the point.
seems to hit me hardest coming from kj.
