Listening to: Nothing

I'm sitting in the dark, typing on Mel's laptop while he's dead asleep, curled up in bed. It's been a busy/tiring/fun week since he's back. We drove.. ok technically, HE drove.. anyway, we went round satisfying his cravings for local food - including porridge at Tiong Bahru and minced meat noodles somewhere in Bedok. We went to Parklane to play games.. Jeremy came along as well. Speaking of which.. i have noticed that he spends more time with Jeremy than he does with me. But then again, it can't be helped coz I've work and all.. so it's 6 hours in the day with Jeremy.. and prolly about 4 hours with me (if i'm lucky) before he gets all tired (after the entire day out with Jeremy) and collapses in bed.


Work's been such a drag. I haven't been doing anything much at work.. no motivation. Just don't feel like doing anything. Instead I spend the days playing hearts and various other weird games like insaniqarium. There IS work to do... my "follow-up" folder is getting bigger and bigger. Apparently I have about 84 things to follow up.. and my hours in the office are spent ignoring the folder's existence. I'm gonna get fired sooner or later.. why bother. I mean, i'm just hanging around until i get my mid year bonus (which is pro-rated -.-)

Mel's parents just came from China.. his mom bought all sorts of nice things for me.. which I cant wear coz *ahem* of all the weight I've put on. pity pity. she's so nice. Mel, of course, takes every opportunity to tell/remind me that she treats me like her own daughter. like DUH i can see that? i'm not blind, ya know. or heartless.

One of my colleagues moved into this house and met the landlady from hell. She didnt stay for more than 5 days there and decided to move out. Let me tell you what a bitch this landlady was.

1) She promised use of the aircon and a tv in the room. at least she did when my colleague went to see the room. After she moved in, she realized the tv was NOT in the room and the aircon remote is "missing"

2) Landlady requests that C (for colleague) should not open the window, for unknown reason.

My question is.. how can anyone BREATHE with the windows closed and no air con..

3) Bathroom has no DOOR. Single cubicle with SHOWER CURTAIN. Like most HDB flats, the bathroom is located in the kitchen. There is a door leading to the kitchen.. but the lock on it is "spoilt". i.e when you shower... anyone can fling open the shower curtains.

4) Bed. The mattress provided isnt the normal kind of spring mattress. Think really THIN mattress. When you sit on it, you can feel the board underneath

5) Landlady has clothes and other belongings in the cupboard in C's room.

6) Landlady refuses to give C a bedroom key

7) Landlady locks the sliding doors to the living room, giving C no access to the living room at all

8) Landlady does not allow visitors. male/female.


all this for 300 a month?

By the way, the landlady refused to give C her 2 mth deposit back too.. and the agency that helped them in the transaction, didn't bother helping C either. They totally sided the Landlady from hell.

After fighting for days, C is finally getting a portion of her money back. sigh. better than nothing. But still.. beware of these agencies.. they're just out to earn your money and don't bother for your welfare etc at all.

Listening to: Beep - Pussycat Dolls

A feeling of unease has been fluttering in the hollow of my stomach since my uncle's call 2 nights ago. He had rang from Penang to inform me that my aunt was going to be flown back to Singapore for an urgent operation.

I was asleep when he called, hence groggy when I answered.. so I kinda went "okay.." and promptly fell asleep once more. I woke up half an hour later only to go "wait a minute.." and hurriedly called my uncle to ask for details.

Apparently, my aunt felt unwell halfway during the trip and went to the hospital for some checkup. They discovered a growth in her colon that was blocking the flow of food and recommended an immediate operation. My family decided to come back to Singapore for the operation.. (normally, I'd have some smart-ass remark to make on that, but not today.. not today)

My uncle (Uncle Sam) then said Uncle Teng was coming back to Singapore the next day and that I should contact him for details and find time to visit my aunt. I said okay.. and hung up. 2 minutes later.. "crap. which aunt was he talking abt.." and gave him another call...

It sounds pretty bad, though Uncle Sam was telling me not to panic..

I mean.. it's big enough to block off the colon.. I dont know about you (if you were in my shoes).. but hell, I've been terribly worried.. Esp when she's one of my favourite aunts..

Ironic thing is..she's the most health conscious one in the family.. vitamins.. anti-oxidants.. drinks lotsa water.. swims/jogs every week..

I don't see my lazier aunts getting anything like that.. I mean, not that I want my other aunts to get a tumour.. but she seems like the least likely candidate, ya know?

*agitated hop* She flew back to Singapore yesterday.. and she's in surgery right now.. argh. And I can't do anything..

Uncle Teng told me not to visit today.. said tomorrow would be better.. oh well, if he says so.. I would much rather be there when she wakes up, ya know. Uncle Sam keeps telling me not to panic... it's getting rather funny. He just called to ask if I was going to visit Aunt Helen.. I said no.. he was like "it's not that bad.. dont panic.." I dont know whether he was telling me not to panic or whether he was trying to convince himself.. actually he didnt say panic.. but something like that. i dont recall the exact words he used.

Oh well.. back to work..


Melvin - looking forward to your return.

Listening to: Nothing - at the office

So yes, I'm supposed to be working but I'm blogging. Sue me.

Was talking to Li just now (YES, on msn while working! get off my back already..)

Snippet of our conversation (hope you don't mind Li)

~Catherine~ says: i dont have bad attitude
~Catherine~ says: i have no attitude.
~Catherine~ says: period.
~Catherine~ says: bleh.

lianne [i turn to look, and burn my eyes.] says: bleh indeed!
lianne [i turn to look, and burn my eyes.] says: you're never happy though, you notice?
lianne [i turn to look, and burn my eyes.] says: like there's nothing that seems to make you feel happy
lianne [i turn to look, and burn my eyes.] says: perhaps you should start looking for something like that
lianne [i turn to look, and burn my eyes.] says: so you at least have 1 thing
lianne [i turn to look, and burn my eyes.] says: or way of escaping

~Catherine~ says: would it be really bad if i told you - I dont know what will make me happy.
~Catherine~ says: I love you tons. you know me so well.


The conversation's been on my mind since.. somehow. Been feeling.. a lil relieved that someone seemed to understand. A lil vague.. a lil like "where have you been all these years".. and a lil like "what have I lost. who am i.." kinda weird feeling.

sigh.

Listening to: Nothing

I was looking through a friend's holiday photos and feeling reaaaallly envious :p So much so that I was commenting to Melvin "I wanna goooo.. dear see, they look so happy.. and he piggyback her in the picture"

In a heartbeat he replied "ok lah, I piggyback you to take picture. Then after that we can take more pictures in the hospital and look happy"

Puts things into perspective, he does.

Listening to: Ni Ai Wo Hai Shi Ta - David Tao

*looks at "listening to"* Yep. Chinese Song :p

There has to be more to life than moaning and griping about work.. yet, somehow, work IS my life now. Other than work and wow.. I dont seem to have anything to talk about! My conversation currency is like.. devalued. Think Banana Notes..

Ok. I'm on the topic of conversation currency coz my colleagues and I were talking about a particular presentation we attended last Saturday. Art/Music appreciation was one of the "currencies" mentioned. And I'm not talking about Missy Elliot. So I basically sat there like an idiot while they prattered on.. and zoned out.

And Melvin just sent me a sucks-ass messenger. It's some beta live windows messenger. i TOLD him it was windows messenger and he INSISTED it was MSN. and guess what. I'm right. And we all know how windows msger just ABSOLUTELY sucks. The interface is icky, blocky, flat and it's not compatible with my MSN plus. So now i have to re-download msn msger. and I think i've lost ALL my emoticons. I'm not a happy person.
I dont know why.. so many times he's tried to intro things to me.. yet for most, i just get annoyed that he did it in the first place cos i'd be trying to change things back to the way they were coz the things he sends me just sucks.
Remember ya'll, the new beta windows msger live SUCKS.

    02-oct 2002

    jenny asked me a really weird question the other day... we were having lunch, and all of a sudden, she asked me," why do your shoes look the same?.. the both of them?.." i kinda looked at her for a mo' and carefully answered," well.. they ARE a pair.."
    and i was thinking like," what the hell is she talking abt?.,. of course they look the same.. two shoes= 1 pair what.."
    then she laughed and gave me this exasperated look and said, " i meant your two pairs of shoes.." *mutter* how would i know.. she wasn't talking abt my other pair of shoes before she asked that question.. we laughed abt that one for like the next 15mins..






    Jen.. i miss us.
    I just read my posts back in 2004.. somehow.. life seems better.. back then.
    was i happier? I think so..


    /cry
    Listening to: Dirait-On - In Accord

    Seems like I only have time to post once a week :p

    I simply refuse to comment on the latest NYP "scandal".. it's no big deal. *rolls eyes* not like someone was filmed murdering someone else. Geez. Conservative prudes. every single one of them.

    Hmm. what else does that leave me to blog about?

    Oh yes. The lil Johari thing. I finally went to do one up. apparently.. 50% think i'm HELPFUL (where the fuck did that come from?) and another 50% think I'm SENTIMENTAL. -_-'
    and someone even thought I was dignified. *sniffs* now where did THAT come from..
    So for those whom I didnt get to tell on msn, here's where you go: http://kevan.org/johari?name=cath_ong

    *ponders*

    I asked Veronica (my colleague) if it was worth it. All the late nights up, the working over the weekend.. i mean.. most of the people I know.. stop work after 6pm. but we're kinda "on call" practically 24 hours. KL (the manager) has the tendency to call you on Saturdays.. *wrinkles nose* I don't know. My workload aint as heavy as veronica's.. yet. and I seriously think i'd be leaving if it ever got that bad.. not worth the pay.

    I'm considering giving my mother a call. to tell her something very important.



















    "Mom? I want that 2 thousand bucks in my OCBC bank account to pay off my uni loan."




    Think she'll give it to me? NAAAHHH.

    Listening to: Nothing

    It's another one of those "I have nothing to blog about, but i'd blog anyway" things.

    Valentine's has come and gone. I spent the morning in a meeting.. then proceeded to spend the afternoon transcribing a long and dreary talk. After which I went home.. dialed melvin on skype and proceeded to continue with my work, while he play WoW. or DOTA. So it was one of those "we're on the line but not talking" situations. Then out of the blue, he said "Happy Valentine's.."
    and I said "oh. Happy Valentine's dear." and that was that. A 2 second dedication to the day we call Vday.

    I guess after that 4th year Anniversary, the Vday isnt as important. After all.. now I got 2 words (happy Valentine's) as opposed to 3 (Happy Anniversary dear). Maybe NEXT year.. he'll stop at "happy" and I get to finish his sentence for him before he goes back to playing games.

    Listening to: A dream is a wish your heart makes - Cinderella

    Daily routine: 6.30am - wake up
    8.30am - Work
    6.30pm - get off work
    8.00pm - Shower and Dinner
    9.oopm - check Email and wonder why ppl dont ever rest. (more work)
    10.30pm - Bed

    I went to get my Singpass password done today. checked how much I owed CPF for the Uni loan.
    Accrued Interest as of 30/01/06 (or was it 31/01/06?) = S$986

    FUCKING hell. I dont even have enough cash to play off the fucking interest. i hate my parents. for those who have their studies conveniently SPONSORED.. you have no idea how fucking lucky you are. you have NO EXCUSE to screw up.. esp when your parents pay for your education.

    Esp those who have parents who send them overseas to study.. you have NO IDEA what its like to have a 20k++ debt on ur ass the minute you graduate.
    one thousand fucking bucks for INTEREST. and its gonna fucking GROW. and dont tell me "pay it off quick". Do you think money grows on TREES? I havent even received my FIRST paycheck from my FIRST perm job. I have RENT to pay. I have BILLS. "pay it off quick" you say. why dont YOU pay for me huh? fucking useless "advice"..

    I'm gonna be in DEBT for the next 8-10 years of my life.

    Dont fucking bother me.

    Listening to: Nothing

    I had this conversation with a colleague today after I was told to look into publicizing the RP's move to Woodlands to the students.

    Me: you know, we could just do a poster stand and put postcards so ppl can take..

    Vivienne: Nah.. this is a paperless campus. We should try avoiding using paper whenever possible. Even like invites are sent via email and stuff. it's all e-invites, e-cards..

    Me: okay.. since KL (the manager) said that email doesnt work.. and nor do posters.. and since you're setting up a booth for registration.. how about we tie that in with e-coupons they can redeem for things on that day itself?

    Vivienne: Nah.. I've sorted that out. We're giving out coupons to those who sign up early.


    Sooo my question is: What happened to your "paperless" campus?
    If you can have your coupons, I sure as hell can have my postcards.

    Listening to: Never let go - Josh Groban

    I'm blogging for the sake of having SOME kind of update..
    So i'm just gonna post a few buncha pics up.. some from the office christmas lunch.. some from the lil "farewell" they did for me. They were really sweet actually. Gave me this hella big card.


    Bunch of us at the Christmas office lunch thing.

    Taking photos in the hosp is such a bore.. all we have is white walls..


    Taddaaaa.. last pic is me, showing off my nice and big card :p though I dont know why Sandy was waving in the background when I was opening the card..

    OOo look.. 4th year anniversary.

    what did I get? 3 words. "Happy anniversary dear"

    I see how much effort it took to SAY those 3 words dear.
    Thank you SOooooo much for LOVELY and MEMORABLE anniversary.

    Celebrate it? Naaah... not needed. Gift? Oh Nooo.. its WRONG to expect something, afterall I shouldnt take things for granted.

    And for you to say "I've exhausted my patience".. well.. yes.. dear i'm SORRY I actually EXPECTED something for our FOURTH anniversary. SUCH Audacity on MY part.

    Listening to: One Last Cry - Brian McKnight

    Let's deal with things one at a time. It's going to be another one of those "from work life to love life to game life" posts.

    First, work.

    (at this moment, YZ is msging me so forgive me if I sound distracted.. or if this part of the post sounds a lil fragmented)

    where was I?

    Right.. work. I handed in my resignation for the position at NUH last Friday. Reasons for that decision range from the impossible workload to the shitty treatment temp staff get.. and the lousy slave-labour pay. I think I've mentioned once.. that my work comes in boxes. one box a day.. with the exception of mondays.. I get 3 boxes on mondays (coz the hospital operates on weekends, in case no one noticed). so make that... 7 boxes for a 5-day work week. I'm too slow, I think. Coz I only manage to clear about half a box a day.. and it's extremely stressful to know that it's the 27th and I'm only clearing stuff on the 12th.

    It's not worth 6 bucks an hour.

    And the treatment.. *sigh*
    Case No. 1: This girl was suddenly asked to leave. She received a call from the recruit agency telling her not to bother turning up for work the next day. No explainations, no warning. I went to ask around and finally got the reply that she was on her handphone too much, smsing and stuff.
    The thing that didnt sit well with me was the "NO WARNING". I mean, if you find she's on the phone too much.. TELL her. So that she can cut down or something. or ASK her why she's on so much. For all you know, she was going thru a family crisis or something. But Noooo.. no such thing.

    Case No. 2: This is even more ridiculous. One of the girls fell sick (she was the one replacing said girl in Case 1) and took 3 days of MC. Really really bad flu, I could hear on the phone. By the 3rd day, they sacked her, telling her they couldnt afford to wait for her to get well. I mean, it's not like she didn't want to come. It's not her fault she fell sick.. and she's only been at work for a week too.

    Why should I stay? Why should I stay in a company that "professes warmth and care" when they treat their staff so callously? In the 3 weeks that I've worked there, they've changed staff for that particular position like 3 times. And something tells me it's not the staff that's screwy here.

    Notice the stint I had at KKH was much more enjoyable and pleasant compared to the stinking hellhole called NUH. Maybe coz the ppl are nicer and are ACTUALLY considerate *Gasp*
    For this "temp to perm" position I've just resigned from, ADIOS! Damn Hypocrites.

    Now, Love life.

    After 4 years of dating the same guy (I dont know if he even remembers when our anniversary is).. well..

    THings grow old, ya know. And I find that.. the romance and passion have long evaporated, replaced by the mundane everyday life. I find myself expecting more out of the entire relationship.. and more than half the time, he just can't keep up.
    To put it bluntly, things have grown boring. tiresome. and the only "color" that we see is the red haze of anger when we fight. and oh, do we fight. every other night.
    It's not to say we don't love each other. Just.. you lose touch, sometimes. you dont feel the yearning to be together. come to think of it, you don't really miss each other as much. the other person is just.. well.. on the other side of the telephone line. Even the "I love you"s seem to be said more out of habit than really expressing how you feel.

    *shrug*

    (at this pt, he's prolly say something like "you love the attn dont you" or "such a attn seeker" or "stop being so melodramatic") - see what i mean?

    Ok. Game life. Warning: you prolly wont understand half the terms.

    I've more or less given up on my priest. She's NEVER gonna get to 60 =/ I simply dont have time for 2 characters. I'm more interested in playing my mage than priest anyway. And I dont relish doing BRD a gazillion times trying to do Emp/jailbreak/Incendius. I've also abandoned my warrior at lvl.. 8 i think.
    which reminds me.. have to save leather gear for my brother. I keep forgetting.. God knows how much leather gear I've DE-ed.
    Aniko's disappeared on me =(
    And my guild seems to be coming apart. Note: I've noticed a pattern here.. no matter which guild I join, they seem to come apart in less than 2 months. I've been through about 4 guilds now.. been there, done that.. dismantled a guild, i'm THAT good. that sorta thing. *sigh*
    Another note: Try to sound like a guy on ventrilo :p Comments from fellow guildies about sexy voice and the proceeding requests for phone numbers upset the boyfriend.
    Honestly dear.. they were only teasing.. no need to /glare the poor ppl..

    Anyway.. it's getting late. Midnight now.. I should go to bed, except I'm not sleepy.
    Many thanks to Eugene and Tim for the calls a few days back. I'm fine now.. not gonna die anytime soon. And thanks to Andrew (you can just call me ya know, instead of asking poor Eugene to call).

    Shimin, lunch sometime hun?

    Alrite. Gotta end the post now. WEekend's gonna be tediousome. Lunch with grandma on Sat, then some other obligation on Sunday. Lovely.

    Listening to: Nothing

    Well, guess what.. i'm sick again. Had a fever yesterday.. a steady 38.5 deg celsius. And was aching ALL over.. So i pretty much slept the entire day away.

    Got better this morning. 37.4 degrees.. so I thought "what the hell.. I'll just head to work" Was half convinced that the fever will clear by the evening.

    Then something really extraordinary happened. I went to the loo to pee. Looked in the toilet bowl.. FUCK... it was BRIGHT red. Aaaand... i wasn't having my period. now where did all that blood come from?

    plus.. my fever just went back up to 38.0.... Sooo.. I guess it's another trip to the doctor's.. and a whole lotta hospital tests coming my way..
    I think its the fever.. but maaaan.. which fever causes you to pee blood..

    /sigh expenses.. rising.. again..

    Listening to: Somewhere out there - Linda Rostadt & James Ingram

    You know you're getting old when you prefer class95 to Perfect10 =/


    Just got home from a lil class outing with Irene, Tim, Shimin, HuiJing, Yuchen, Serene, CK, Eugene, Jenny and KF (well technically speaking Jenny isnt from my class.. but she spent so much time hanging out with 00S21 that.. well.. she's practically family, that sorta thing. And KF.. was erm.. just there coz Jen was.)

    HuiJing and Serene were the only punctual ones I think. Tim did a lil detour on the cab to pick Shimin and I up.. so we reached there at about 6.15.. (we were supposed to meet at 6..) Aaaanyway.. by the time CK reached, it was like 7.. =/ now we know who to tell we're meeting at 5 when it's supposed to be 6.

    Because of certain LATECOMERS... dinner started only at like.. 7.30? 8? The fish and chips we had were.. alrite, i guess. It wasn't fantastic or anything, but it was cheap. After which, we dropped by TimB's new err.. boardgame place. It was apparently the opening night of his joint, so we dropped by and stayed to play an hour or so. the gaming was free :p Rene and I felt bad, so we decided to order more food..

    erm. for those who dont know.. TimB = Choir Senior from NJC. Tim.. is well.. good old Tim.

    We dropped by eskibar but there weren't seats.. pity. So we ended up in "the rest room".. as opposed to the "bed room" and .. some other "room" which I can't remember. And apparently.. one of Jen's friends was managing those bars... so we chilled there for.. awhile, I guess. More talk and gossip.

    I didnt leave the bar plastered/high. for a change :p

    Once again, thanks to Tim for sending me home.. I remember he once told me I should learn not to take certain things for granted. I assume the "sending home" is one of those things :P

    I spent the night wondering about those I used to call "my best guy friends"..
    And.. I cant help but feel it's pretty one-sided. It's like.. Mmm.. take Eugene for example. He was like.. my best guy friend in JC. I told him.. just abt everything.. shared thoughts.. fears.. and various confusing things in the life of a 17 year old. Looking back.. I think he just listened for most and tried to say whatever comforting words he could think of. I realize I know very little of him.. and for that 2 years.. I did nothing but.. talk. He's never really shared things with me.. so.. yeah.. like I said.. pretty one-sided. He once said that was not the case. That guys simply didnt blabber abt "unimportant" things like girls =/ whatever.

    Come to think of it.. I wonder who I'm really close to now. I dont confide in ppl like I used to, I think. I talk about.. things that happened the last outing.. or what I did on my trip.. a lil of my worries maybe. But.. there simply isn't ANYONE I share everything now with. I wonder if that's what happens as you grow up. There isn't a "somebody" I call and cry to.. there isn't a "somebody" I think of immediately to call/tell when I'm feeling down or pissed.. Feels a lil weird sometimes.

    It's 1.30am and I'm still wide awake. Don't really feel like playing.. I wish I could just.. pick up the phone and call someone .. to talk. Someone who.. understands. Then again, it's just wishful thinking. Chances are I'm going to stay in bed with my eyes closed, and find some place to bury whatever unpleasant thoughts/feelings I'm having.

    And before this degenerates into a "self pitying" post.. I'm gonna remind Shimin: my hair treatment... bring it next week pls :p I TOLD you I'll forget abt it and you'll carry it home =/
    So yeah, next week.

    Night guys.

    Listening to: Unchanged Melody - Air Supply

    Well. I started working last Friday (for those who were wondering where I've disappeared to). Of ALL things, as an accounts assistant in NUH. It took me 3 days to clear one day's worth of discrepancies. *sigh* look at it this way.. they have about 60 cashiers.. and I have to deal with the discrepencies of daily collected amounts for ALL of them.. and you have no idea what kind of weird mistakes they make.. and when even $0.01 diff is impt (else you can't CLEAR the stupid thing from your system).. well.. yeah. So the work's piling and I'm not happy.

    On a happier note: RP's offered me a position as a general admin officer. a perm job.. not the lousy temp ones I've been taking. And the pay isn't too shabby. I was expecting 1.8k or something.. but heh. they were feeling generous, I guess. Yes, it's not a very exciting job. and yes, I'd be bored outta my skull. But if they're offering 2k for a general admin job.. why not? right?

    The huge drawback? They're moving to bloody WOODLANDS come April =/

    I figure I'll whine and complain when the time comes, in the meantime... 2k per month pay, here I come..

    (which reminds me.. 2 weeks notice to NUH must be sent soon)

    Alrite, end of general update.

    I'm gonna.. erm.. read a book or something.

    As Aniko would say, "You are such a dork" :p
