A look at my own life

Went for kickboxing class with Lijuan yesterday night. After the class, I was walking past the reception counter when I overheard HIM talking to the receptionists.

HIM: "You sure you all don't go and cheong???"
Girl: "Sorry leh...I don't cheong one..."
HIM: "Go lah! Take my RED FERARRI"

I was disgusted by his conversation. Made him sound really shallow and childish. Therefore, it's time to find a new crush.

Anyway, life wasn't that good for the past 1 week. I had a major quarrel with my sister and decided to stay out for 2 nights. I was really pissed off with my sister for being incredibly self-centred. I mean, everyone is self-centred to a certain degree, and hers pisses me off big time.

Life at work wasn't that great either. Mon and Tue were hectic, Wed was my IPPT, Thu had to stay back for an exercise and Friday was juz as bad. Today was the climax for the week, with reports and 1 paper undone, I had to 'run location'.

I hope things won't get any worse....

Kickboxing

I went for HIS kickboxing class on Sunday. During certain segments, he came down and joined the class in the workout. There was once when he was standing directly behind me. I was a little bit nervous coz' I didn't want to appear stupid when I was doing the punches and kicks until...... I felt a few drops of water on me when we executed the jabs.......

Alamak! It was actually his perspiration! Felt a little disgusted actually...haha.....

Jogging

I went jogging tonight coz' my IPPT is on Wednesday. Haven't jogged at night for a very long time. While jogging, the smell of incense burning was in the air, and I could see people by the walkway offering their prayers and stuff. It didn't feel eery, in fact, it was pretty heartwarming. At least there's still filial piety in some of us. It'll be another story altogether if I were to be working of course. Haha.....

The jog reminded me of the days in NUS where I would go jogging with my friends in the middle of the night. I miss those days.....

Seafood and more

It was Lijing's 24th birthday celebrations today though her actual birth date was yesterday. I joined her family for seafood dinner, and in between I slipped out with Liping and Fiona to get a birthday cake for her at Yishun. We were at Bottle Tree Village, where Sembawang Seasports Club used to be, and the food there was quite nice. However, dinner cost $225 for 12 persons though.

Anyway, now that both my good friend and I are 24, things still remained pretty much the same. After dinner, we took a DETOUR and went *ahem* for some sightseeing. Haha! However, we didn't get to see HIM nor HIS car. Strange. Maybe he went to his girlfriend's house for dinner lah. Anyway, we don't know anything about him, whether he's attached, married or even his sirname. Oh well, crush only mah...for the fun of it.

I know Yanli will go "Liixxxiiiaaaaa!!!!!!" if she knows that I went 'sightseeing' again. I think life is pretty boring without crushes yah?? :P

Need or want?

During another coffee session with Yanli and Lijuan, the following question popped out. Do we need someone or want someone? Yanli and Lijuan said that they need someone but I think otherwise. At least at this point in time, I think I want someone to want me and not need me.

What the heck. Does it matter?!

Fate?

Went to some PC Technology Seminar at SIR Building today with my colleagues. When I went into the auditorium, I was surprised to see bored people who are dozing or have already dozed off. Then I realised, must be those long-shift (9-5pm) people in MHA who wanted to siam the afternoon and signed up for these seminars so that they can either sign their names and scram, or sleep throughout the seminar. Anyway, I fell asleep after 5 mins too. Heh heh!

Well, at least my office hours were officially over and I volunteered my time to attend this seminar. Luckily I wasn't caught on camera when the speaker whipped out his digicam and zoomed in on the participants to demonstrate something about digital cameras/photos. My colleague was not so lucky, she was caught sleeping by a very-high-resolution SLR digital camera with her mouth wide-open. Man, some people are just plain unlucky.

Anywayz, we went to Bugis after that. I went to meet Ah Chew and Cher to reminisce the good ole days when we would stone at Coffeebean. I didn't go to for aerobics classes today because I didn't want to run into HIM. We sat there from 6 to 9pm. Half the time, my mind was elsewhere. When we were tired and decided to call it a day, we went on our separate ways. I went to the carpark quickly so that I won't run into him. Just shortly after I started the engine, he appeared. SHOOTS!

Why do we run into people when we don't want to see them?! Anyway, his car was parked behind mine, so I thought I could quickly drive off without crossing paths with him. Alas! I was moving off when he was about to cross the road, so he stopped for me to drive past before crossing, which means that I drove past in front of him entirely, and I didn't even want to run into him! *sigh* Shit happens.

Maybe I should miss his classes for 2 months?? But I've already made a reservation for his class on Monday. *sigh* I hate myself!

Bad news

Yesterday was by far, the most outrageous attempt to see HIM. It happened like this...

My colleagues and I were at East Point Mall, waiting outside Sake Sushi on the 4th floor. The plan was to catch him (visibly) when he walked across level 3 to get to the escalator on the other side then up to level 4 to get to his car. We, on the other hand, were supposed to pretend that we were waiting for seats and then disappear into the restaurant when he came up to level 4. That was the ops plan. However, I forgot about contingencies......

He didn't walk across level 3. There was another escalator which I didn't realise and he took that escalator up to level 4. Before we knew it, he was walking towards us. Oh shoots! I didn't have time to inform them! So I behaved as normally as I could so that my colleagues would carry on talking, making us look more normal.

Out of the blue, Anita turned and saw him, without confirming with me if it was him, she exclaimed (LOUDLY) "EI!!!! HE'S GORGEOUS!!!!!!" *fainted* Then I tried to mumble "ya..ya..." so that she would shut up because by then he was just walking BEHIND us. She wouldn't give up, she kept poking my shoulders then my head to make me turn and look at him.

Then he was gone, he had gone into the carpark. Anita exclaimed loudly that he looks cute and the rest were disappointed that they didn't get to see him. Then somebody suggested going into the carpark, after him to see how he looked like. The whole gang (minus me) ran into the carpark after him and were like "IS THAT HIM?! IS THAT HIM?!?!" Naturally, he turned and looked at them.

Happy and satisfied, they left the carpark and I think he too, fled.

I'm giving kickboxing classes a miss for the month of September.


Lesson learnt: Bringing colleagues to see your crushes is not a good idea because they probably have not had such excitement in their lives since secondary school days, which was a pretty long time ago. This excitement, however, is most likely to be at your expense.
