~"~Killing Me Softly~"~
Recently I've just finished reading this book by Nicci French which Little Prince reccommended me. It is a story about Alice Loudon, a research scientist living in London, drops her comfortable but ordinary relationship with her boyfriend and begins a obsessive affair with a mysterious and good-looking mountaineer, Adam Tallis. Everything begins when she first set eyes on Adam Tallis across the road. Nevertheless, she decides to be with Adam though she knew nothing about his past. The mystery starts when she gathered more and more information about his past, all the things he did and those prank calls and notes.
Personal Comments: I find that this story is quite ridiculous as in the part when Alice met on Adam on the road. It is ridiculous that she could break off with her boyfriend just because of a guy met on the road. Futhermore, involved in a series of mystery that made her relationship and the whole story more complicated, confused but even more thrilling to find out more.
Therefore, I decided to borrow another novel by Nicci French(Think I shall not reveal what book I borrow until I finish =P). This morning Little Prince make me a breakfast, and this time with egg plus bacon. Then I got a half day work before I meet Little Prince again to Sengkang Library for some self-study.
Little Prince told me that this story has been film into a movie. Below is the song and lyrics that I've found on the net. (Does not gurantee the song is from the movie)

Killing Me Softly With His Song
(Roberta Flack)
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.
And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on ...
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
He was strumming, oh, he was singing my song.
Killing me softly with his song,
Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song ...
With his song ...
No matter what, Fiction are meant to be exagerated.

~"~Access card~"~
Wa...sian~ Today coming back working as a temp staff. Suddenly feel hungry and walk to pantry to refil my bottle and have some biscuits to fill my stomach. "Beep~" The access card system sounded and i key in the password. "Invalid card access" appeared on the screen. What the ~ They never extend my access card! Damn it! I went to talk to the person in-charge of our access. She said she never receive emails from our supervisor to confirm our extension. Damn it! How would I know that? Then they gave me their emails told me to ask my supervisor to give them an email confirmation. So I walked all the way back to my place. Shit! How am I going to get back my seat if my card is invalid? Damn it! Have to stand at the pantry waiting for people to help me open the door. So I loiter around hoping for any passby.
After I told OIC, she said "Oh ya! you haven't send your contact to them right? Ya~ I haven't give you Angeline's no. Nah~ This is her no."
So I walked out again~ all the way to Blk A because I didn't know where is the shortcut. When I'm back, again have to wait for "you yuan ren" to open door for me. Sigh~ The whole morning running here and there and busy with some other connection stuffs that I couldn't do anything and just to wait, and wait, and wait~
That is why I'm here to blog. I'm free.

Soon, it was lunch time. Little Prince meet me and we went to amk for Mos Burger. Sianzz. Yesterday Mos today Mos, soon can go Mosque liao. -_-" Then, Little prince walked me back to office while he left for gym. The moment I step into the building, I met Pat, Thomas and OIC eating. "Come, Xiao Tian come." Ended up, I listened to their talk for another 1 hour. -_-"
Lucky I didn't bring Little Prince in for lunch. It'll be a big mistake.

~"~Those were the days~"~
Those were the days. The first day of orientation, followed by the the first day of school. The time we met each other, unfamiliar faces, unfamiliar feelings. A totally strange place to me, to everyone ~ Classmates and lecturers. First few weeks of school were totally strange for me, always feel that people are behaving weirdly, differently from secondary friends, life. Always tend to compare things and people. As time past, I get used to it and make friends with them. We became close friends. We copy notes, copy tutorials, shared lecture notes, helped each other to sign attendance etc. Many many things happened around us. Too much to describe in a few lines. But no matter what, the fun we had in the past can't be compared to work life I suppose. Everything past after a blink. Three years of poly life gone. What should I do now? Confused, Very confused. I missed everyone, missed my friends, my classmates, my lecturers, my days spent in poly, in studying. Life is so different when one entering socialty.

~"~The last gathering, I suppose~"~
Today was the last day of the last week of the last month of IPP. So, we have we gathering at chomp chomp and expectedly not all turned up except for me, Little Prince, meiling, JP, aven, wilson and unexpectedly, hadiman. Me and Little Prince were late because I came from school. JP and the rest were there waiting for more seats for us. Thus, Litte Prince and me standing beside two indians hinting for their seats. They look like mother and son I suppose. Though we stood there for more than half hour, even when those considerate people gave up their seats for us, the indians still took their own sweet time tasting the small plate of satay. Little Prince wasn't in good mood, thus, insist on waiting for their seats. Until they finally finished their food, they delibrately asked the family besides their to have their seats. What the~ They really damn bu zi dong lo. Nevermind. Da ren bu zi xiao ren guo. Let the matter rest. Haha~ After our dinner, we took Aven's ride to the nearby bus stop and went home.Friday, April 22, 2005

~"~Mum's birthday~"~
Today is mum's birthday. A few days ago I bought a pendant from SK. A round-small-3-coloured one. So after work, Little Prince wanted to meet me though I have to rush home for dinner. We met and went to buy a mocha flavoured cake. Actually wanted to try out the green tea flavoured but they didn't have a smaller one. So I bought it. On my way home I saw dad waiting downstairs. He told me as it was far and he wasn't sure it was me so didn't dare to approach me. My eyes grew even wider when he told me he thought I was an auntie! Arghh~~ Me? Auntie? I felt totally turned off when he said that.
Finally, we had our dinner at bishan. We searched the whole place for suitable restaurants but ended up having one at the nearby coffee house. The dinner turned out to be so-so. Soon after we reached home, mum had her cake cutting ceremony with the family and my brother's girlfriend. I felt envy. Envy that he can bring his girlfriend to join in the celebration. Envy that he can have anything and everything he wants. Envy that he has everything and I yet to achieve.
When will I have a chance to bring Little Prince back?

*--Pizza Hut--*
OIC suddenly said "Later wait for me arh, we go eat pizza!" Big big question mark O_o? What day was today? Her mood seems so good. But my eleventh sense told me that she is going to treat us because this is the last week of IPP! Hurray! Siao~ Actually nothing to be happy about, I'm staying anyway.
So we took bus 86 to AMK. To my surprise, everyone seemed don't know how to travel to AMK, except me. I'm a AMK expert! Haha~ -_-" So, the 6 of us order a 2~3 and a 4~5 person set, with a variety of Supreme Chicken, Curry Chicken, Hawaiian, and~~ I cannot remember liao. (I wasn't trained to remember everything I eat so all I care is eat) In the end, the meal cost $70 and OIC paid. We tried to give her the money but she don't accept. But it is logical that she will not accept cause we are her subordinates, she is our boss, she where got face to accept? But we also feel paiseh if we never give her. It the end she still never accept, expected. Of cause she won't, and of cause we won't force her. We actually going to take a bus back after lunch, but the rest suggest take cab instead. I have no objection on taking any travel tool back (even plane), but I was thinking that since she will not accept our money, she will not accept the cab fare either. True enough, she said "You all haven start to earn money. Dunwan dunwan! Not time den treat". I was thinking still got next time meh? That make us feel even more uncomfortable.
So, the three months has past. Two more days to go! But I know "I'll be back"~ The HR staff finally called us, saying that my pay was $7 per hour plus 1.5 for OT pay. Expected. A few weeks back if this price is to travel to my ears then I'll think that it is my expected salary. However after Little Prince, my friends, parents, brother, sisters, uncles, aunties, granny, nanny~~ continuing psycho me that the market price should be 1.5k~1.8k, I have eventually changed my mindset. Hai~ No choice, no work how to support myself, how to go out andenjoy with friends, how to buy things I like, how to buy all birthday, anniversary presents, how to fulfil my dreams, how to further studies if I want to? How?
To conclude the whole entry: I think the pizza meal didn't worth that much. Pizza Hut sucks!

~*~The Eye Twitching Issue~*~
In life, human sometimes may have this eye twitching problem. Some may believe that right eye twitching signalling good things may happen, whereas left eye twitch will bring you bad luck. Recently I have this right eye twitching problem which has been continuously twitching and twitching for the pass 2 weeks. The only good news that I received is a friend is getting married. So isn't true that a good things will happen if your right eye twitch? I don't know.
Dr Rob Hicks from BBC Health commented that this is an innocent problem that affects most people at some time in their lives. If someone becomes aware of a twitching below the eye it's usually when they are worried about something or have something on their mind. It's extremely common when someone is under pressure or being stressed by something, by his or her work for example.
When this is the case it's important to find out what the real problem is and to get it sorted out. It might be that you are not happy in your current job or have a problem with your relationship.
As far as the twitch is concerned the best thing to do is to try and ignore it and it will go away. The problem is that worrying about it only makes it worse so you become trapped in a vicious cycle.
It is not caused by using your computer but you may find that the twitching become worse if you are under stress whilst working at your computer, if you have too much work or deadlines to meet.
To avoid possible computer-related problems in the future don't sit in front of the screen for more than twenty minutes without taking a break; have your eyes tested regularly by a good optician; and make sure the screen isn't too bright.
Treatment: Reduce your stress, get more sleep, mix the coffee, eat more bananas and B-complex pills. Throw in a couple of sugar pills for good measure. Save the cerebrospinal fluid exam for emergencies.
Or, you might just wait for them to go away on their own. Whatever.
