can't be fussed about anything

if tomorrow never comes...

If that happens, what would you do? What would your last wish be? Where do you see yourself? Where would you fly down to spend your last few hours?

Many would safely say that they would spend their last days with their loved ones. That's quite a cliche thing to say. I mean, I would most probably say that. But when that really happens, would it jolt you to do something that you wouldn't imagine?

I think if that really happens and I know I've only a short amount of time to live, I would do something I've never done before, like invite all my friends for this PARTY. ALL of them would have to wear their favourite colours, BYO and hmm I'd probably drink with everyone and be merry. Of course I wouldn't be drunk (I wouldn't want to spend my last hours pissed). Hmm...If some people can't make it, then I guess it's not my loss eh?

ANYYWAYYYY if I do die, which I would one day, remember to wear something RED for my funeral. No one should mourn for me =) No one should even say things like "She was a nice gal"...screw that man, hahah I wouldn't hear all of that, so yeah.

hmmm I don't even know why I'm saying all these. Oh well.

citibank kicks ass!

hahaha... =) i wish i can remain workin in citibank (but of course not in pwd admin) sigh... oh well...i guess i've something to look fwd to next week. this week's been quite a torture for some reason. even though i'm enjoying the process of handing over and teaching the newbies what i know, i still feel a little frustrated. *shrug*

post netball blues - hahaha after the match on SATURDAY, even though we lost (by just a mere margin) we still posed happily for the camera. try spotting the big boss =p

a photo with our opponent for the day. =p

too lazy to put up more photos of netball, i wanna talk about this place in paradiz. it's like a 7-course meal and it's yummilicious!!!! our first course for dinner TODAY - toasted bread with creamy dip with melted cheese. Of course i can make this, but i'm not complaining!

Thereafter, we were served our second dish. I chose this chicken salad. It was tangy, almost sourish but i love it! Joanne couldn't finish her fruit salad so I greedily gobbled down her share.

Mushrooms anyone? YEAPPPP 3rd dish and I was getting full already!

After this fourth appetizer, I was pretty much stuffed. AND YES, once again, I can make pumpkin soup too, thanks to Grace =)

By the time we were served our main course, I was full already. I ate the whole damn meal anyway because the lamb was good!!! (***highly recommended!!!)

We were served tea and desert after everything. I couldn't finish my share and had to pass it to pregnant Weisiong who gladly accepted my offer.

It was an enjoyable meal today. I enjoyed the company, and the food. I'll DEFINITELY come back again because...of the GREAT service, and reasonably priced food/set-meal. *buuuuRRRPP**

marraige is such a... __________

one day, i was going to pee when i realised there was this plastic bag in the toilet bowl. thinking that the wind could have blown it into the bowl, i made this comment to my mum "there's a plastic bag in the toilet bowl". My mum immediately turned to my dad and their interesting exchange commenced.

Mum: You threw the plastic bag into the toilet bowl??
Dad: (nonchalant tone) yeah...
M: AIYARRRR!!!! DADDYYYY??? WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID???
D: What??!! Just flush it a few times and it'll go down!!!
M: (flustered and growing angry exponentially) IT WON'T LAH!!! How stupid can you get??!?
D: Then what??
M: (glaring at my dad - uncomfortable silence as i watched on, pretending to mind my own business)
D: Don't tell me you want me to pick it up.
M: Of course lah! It won't be flushed down!!!
D: NO! I won't! It's so dirty!
M: GO!!
D: No!
M: (let out a exhasparated grunt) STUPID USELESS MAN!!! (pushed my dad aside and with one breath, she picked up the dirty, wet plastic bag and threw it into the dustbin)

***They didn't speak to each other for at least a day.

Notes:
1) My dad's really dumb. He should have known that you can't bloody throw anything solid into the toilet bowl. Solid is not equal to shit. Plastic bags, sanitary napkinds (used OR unused) all fall in the category of solids.
2) My mum's even more dumb - she married my dad, who's dumb.
3) sigh...if parents are dumb...WHAT ABOUT MEEE....argh! NoooooooOO! I shall live in denial =)

Lesson of the day:
1) NEVER be dumb enough to marry someone as dumb as u.
2) Never marry someone who thinks that throwing plastic bags and flushing them down the toilet bowl is okay.
3) Need i say more??

DON'T MARRY!!! Don't sell yourself to the entity of Marraige! It's all bullshit!

Just last week (on thurs if i'm not wrong), it was Arjun's last day. SOOOO...we had a nice lunch in the sun. This pizza place was just opposite where we were located. Here - a picture of the younger gals working in my department.

I must comment that the pizzas are HUGE!!! For 4.30 per slice, it's quite a bargain! =)

Dishes of the day - the really fattening chicken skin plastered with fish cake (i think) annnddd chilliiiii crabbbbbb...*Drool*

My whole department...! We'll miss you Arjun!!!

netball vs reality

A shot taken with one of our opposing groups. I mean out in the court, you should see us play. We were rough and well, the opponents were rough too. Both teams were bent on winning, and guess you could see it in the match. But off the courts, we're alrigt, we're all colleagues in a higher level. =) Apologies to the gal whose breast i touched! it was an ACCIDENT!!!! =p

netball rules!!!

hahaha....we had citigames on saturday. it was a great time meeting this group of fun loving, siao ladies. Mannnn..i've gotta work on my stamina. I played 10 minutes and I was dying. I played two rounds of ten minutes...guess wat? I'm aching all over now. =p

anyway i went to meet the monash bunch (Janz, Gerard, Byron, Lai) yesterday and on my way there, i was explaining the rules of netball to James (hur hur...) and he didn't like them rules. he said there were too many rules. I kinda like it. It's a pretty sport. To me, it's supposed to be a gentle game of ladies shooting and passing the ball with grace but of course if you were to watch a match, you would realise that it's far from that. IF U WANNA SUPPORT CITIGROUP PRIVATE BANK NEXT WEEK, BE SURE TO TURN UP AT NUS HIGH SCHOOL. hahahha next week we'll be fighting for 3rd-4th placing so we'll see... =)

Speaking of Citigames, we were watching the soccer match when my team mates started whispering excitedly "James Lye! James Lye!" I was like "where? where?" then they kept directing me to him by pointing him out. When i finally saw him, I let out quite a loud disappointed grunt "cheyyy" hahaha he's not as big as he seems on tv. oh well...

appearance vs reality...

hahaha one of the themes that we learnt in ACJC. Well, speaking of AC and netball, we used to play it often, like once a week. We had two PE sessions, so the gals in the class would always opt for Netball much to the guys' dismay. Those were the days when you can actually see the guys being SOOO frustrated because they weren't used to the strict rules of netball. =)

ahhh..those were the days...

my previous weekend was more happening...

It started off on the 2nd of June (fri) when Mr Lai and myself went for this GREASE musical. It was crappy and quite a horrible production. Other than a little engagement with the audience (during the beginning of the musical, which also seemed like it was trying to stall time to fill up the seats in half of the indoor stadium) and the powerful ensemble, everything else really was just disappointing. The bloody seats were squeaky, kids behind me were asking their parents "when is it going to end??" and i wasn't at all satisfied with how the musical was being portrayed.

Guess where I went on saturday?? FINALLY after being dua-ed by my instructor TWO times, I finally went for his lessons. ANDDDD it was a greatttttt sunny day to wakeboard!

This is probably the most decent shot that Lai took that day.

Clearly, he was more caught up with taking photos of other things. But i must say, nicely taken!

Classic photo - Me going to lose my balance and trying to cover my face because my face gets hit all the time.

Lai, wakeboarding behind me... =p

I had dinner with my cousins. I'll talk about this the next time I suppose... =) It was great to meet up with them.

Afterwhich, I met up with..*DruMMMm rOllLLLLL* susu!!! hahaha she was back in town so we had drinks at this jazz pub along river quay...oops, boat quay. =)

ANDDDDD the weekend was topped off by....dinner with the family. Jasmine's dad was in town so we had a gathering. Pity i didn't have a photo of the whole group =p So it's just me and pers, again.

Achievement of the day: I started one of the fires! HAHAHA I must say everytime during BBQs I either come late or well, let someone else handle the pit. Anyway for more photos of yesterday, click here.

I haven't been using this particular camera for a long time. I just realised I have photos from one of the outings that i went for. =ppp i look dammn short...and stout =(

and yess..who can forgt about the baby...raphy's to be exact. =) he's sooo adorable!!!

---

My mum just called me this morning, when i was about to leave for church. Our conversation went something like this...

Mum: Hello?
Renzi: Yes? Mum?
M: Har I can't hear you...did you recieve my message?
R: No...
M: HAR??
R: (almost shouting) NOOO...
M: You going to church?
R: Yeah...
M: Harrr??? I CAn'T HEaR yOU!
R: YES YES YES!
M: Har?? Anyway you better stay at home today. (yada yada)
R: Okay lah...
M: OI! I'm talking to you.
R: I SAID YES YES YES!

I then realised it was a waste of time talking to her because she couldn't hear me so I put down the phone. =p

I hope I won't be as deaf as her when I grow up. =(

flee fly!

everytime i scratch my bites, i can't help but think of that song. bah! the bites are irritating me!!! =( Some told me they're sand fly bites, some say they're bed bugs. either way, it doesn't sound pretty. either way, i'm not feeling good! ulgh!

joke joke...! hahaha i was looking at a website about sandflies and there was this super lame joke which goes like this...

why did the girl throw sand out of the window?
She wanted to see a sandfly (sand fly).

L-A-M-E!

experienced another lame incident. i was working when my phone started vibrating. i picked up the phone and said...

Renzi: Hello?
Other caller: (hesitated) Hello?
R: Yes?
O: Er...
R: (trying to be as patient as possible) Yes?
O&R: (uncomfortable silence)
R: Yes??
O: You're not a boy.
R: I figured that out.
O: No, you're not my friend.
R: (very amused) I figured as much
O: Yeah, my friend's male.
R: ....
O: Sorry sorry, wrong number.

Hmm..one more incident...actually this always happens in the office. Whenever anyone asks this colleague a question, her answers would be pretty much redundant. Like today, I was reading this email when I came across this unfamiliar name, Tan Ah-Kow (the name has been changed to protect the individual), so I asked aloud...

R: Who's Ah-Kow eh?
C: Tan Ah-Kow lor.
R: .....

TMD....i might as well talk to myself if i expected answers like that. It's as good as talking to the wall actually. Tsk.

Oh well...

why do have the luck with taxi drivers?

I was on my way, in a taxi, to some agent when the taxi driver decided to talk to me. This was all in chinese. Too bad I don't have the programme to type out chinese - it'd probably be more interesting.

Taxi Driver: (yada yada)... SOOOO...do you have a boyfriend?
Renzi: Err...no, I don't have.
T: AHHH???! How come?? You so pretty. Don't lie lah..
(TMD LIKE I WOULD LIE LIKE TAT)
.
.
.
R: Uncle, would you be able to wait for me downstairs? I'll just take a short while. I need to sign some papers and I'll be done.
T: (seductive tone) I'll try. If I can I will wait for you lor.
R: I'll just take 10 minutes max.
T: HARR??! So long?? I can even have my lunch already HUR HUR HUR. Then I come pick you up. HUR HUR HUR.
.
.
.
T: So have you had your lunch yet?
R: No, I've no time. I'll be rushing to and fro. I won't have time for lunch.
T: Har?? No lunch?? How about this? I buy lunch for you and wait for you lor!
R: ERRMmmm (regretting even asking the TD to wait for her) I have biscuits waiting for me in the office.
T: Good good, at least you have something to eat.

eeks eeks eeks~!!!
The taxi driver was nice, but i felt a little too nice. hahahaha... =) Oh well... At least he's better than that idiotic driver who stopped and asked me "going geylang?" hahahah keith said he would spit at the driver. I haven't spat at anyone in my lifetime. I don't really intend to do it now. HAHAHAHA.

time to go. I'll be taking MC tomorrow, so yeah... ONE DAY OFF~~~ WHOOOooo! It's a legitimate excuse, erm...okay, reason I mean. I'm having these wierd bites that are itchy and are spreading. It's realllly irritating me. Sigh. Oh well. I'll see what the doc says.

Good ngiht world~ And alll taxi drivers who are not CHEE KOR BEI!!!

Now I've this hugeeeeeeeee bruise on my knee. sigh... PLUUUSSSSS my weak left knee, left me limping yesterday (stupid heels).

ALLLRIGHHHTTT I ADMIT IT!

sigh, as much as I hate to say this, maybe I am as deaf as my mother. Maybe it really runs in the family. Maybe I am so similar to my mum it scares me to even admit it. The other day, I was playing with my brother's hamsters when my mum started talking to me -

(I think the conversation went something along the lines like the following)

Mother (M): Do you remember how to bathe your hamsters?
Renzi (R): Yes, I bathed already.

It's no wonder I have so many miscommunications with my mother, because both of us are equally deaf! =( And no, I didn't pick that up, Lai told me about my silly conversation with my mother. =ppp

Speaking of hamsters and my brother, he has 2 hamsters. One's called Max and the other, Cynthia. Max is alright for a pet name, but Cynthia?? Bearing in mind that my mum's name's Cynthia, erm, I wonder what went through my brother's head when he thought of that name - that my mum's a rat?

Looking at how my bro treats the hamsters remind me of my experiences with my hamsters.

I had 2 when I was in secondary school. 'Hamster' (aka Uncle Neo) bought me 2 hamsters. I didn't want them but since it was a gift I had to accept it. I didn't even name those two rodents. Anyway they lasted for probably less than a week. In that duration of time, i tried bathing/drowning them with water. I thought that was comical, looking at them gasping for air. You're going to say I'm cruel butttt...really, I actually don't have anything to say in my defence. As I was saying, those two buggers were found missing after that bathing incident. A cat probably ate it up. Some did, however, speculate that they ran away *shrug*

I had another hamster named Hammie Arafat. Paul named it. Hahaha he named it because he bought it. He bought it because I complained. I complained because he bought a hamster for XH for her xmas when we were 18 (it was just after A levels). Initially I played with it everyday, sigh... I even talked to it. Then I got bored, so I slackened off feeding and spending time with it. I think my maid took ownership of that little thing subsequently. She fed it until it became...FAT. Then, I told her that she should stop feeding it and I would feed it. I did feed it occasionally, like once a day. I started to slacken off and not feed it because i thought it was too "fat". I gave it water, and nothing else for close to 4-5 days? On the 5th day, when I was going to play with Hammie, it didn't move. I jabbed Arafat with a pencil but it didn't bulge. That was then when I knew, he died. Think my maid gave it a proper burial - chuck it into the bin.

hmmmmm.... I give Max and Cynthia 2 weeks max (hur hur, no pun intended). Right now, everytime when I come back, they're both fighting for water when I try feeding them. We'll see....we'll see...

ANYYYWAYY isn't this girl soooooo adorable?? I finally found a life version of BOO (from Monstas Inc). She's such a sweetheart i tell you. I hope my future girl/boy/kid/thing looks and behaves like her. AWwwwww.... I was VERY tempted to pinch her cheeks but of course, I had to fight that temptation. Her dad was there, erm...there during the briefing for the Yusoff Ishaak Camp.

Second day of camp - when we were all squashed in Kaz's van.

One of my kids - hard at work. HAHAHAHA...the camp was generally quite slack. Other than having to watch out for the kids (in terms of safety), there was nothing much we had to do. I did help out for the Marketing department, while my buddy (Adrian) helped out with the production team.

The challenge - to come up with a kart (or a thing that moves at least) from junk the kids find from the neighbourhood and their houses. This is just the skelethon of their kart

My marketing team at work =)

I'm very impressed at how fast they came up with the kart

The team getting ready to do some majorrrrr kick-ass spraying...

After a few touch-ups....

WALA! The end product! =)))

We did VERY well. We won the competition. Really proud of these kids.
