Florida Sum

Dear Diary,
It was Sharon Sum birthday on 20th Sunday. I was really beat after the Alumni games, I had legs and thighs cramps. My body was in fatigue and dehydration mode. Fortunately, Sister Ting just stay nearby. So I could get the refugee chance and get myself dressed up before the party.

Sister Ting and me

I try to carry the gun that is printed on my shirt.

Alumni meet in SR 08

Dear Diary,
Today was my Alumni Match. We only get to meet up once a year. I missed the games last year as I couldn't remember the events that I had that time. We played 6 matches altogether. And we were totally drained and extremely exhausted. My skin was red and burnt just like any of the lobster that ya can find in food court. My junior, Elon came to play for us. He used to play with for the first 3 months before he went to SAJC. He kept telling me how regretful he was to leave SR and join SA. He wished he could stay with us for 2 years and complete his A level here. How time flies..

Just about to DUNK!

No way!

My favourite number is still 10!

We played 6 matches altogether.
And lost in semifinal. We were leading for whole 9 minutes 57 seconds. The score was 21-20.Unfortunately, the opponent scored 3 points in the last 3 seconds. It was rather dramatic as Dawei missed blocking the ball by few cm while the opponent player let the ball flew to the air. It was bitter for most of us to see that the ball went into the net. However, our opponent let us played for the final as they had to leave. By that time, most of us did not have the heart to play again. There went another bitter escape in our final. We always lost in either semifinals and finals to the same team every year. And i believe most of us hate to admit it as we didnt do our job to practice on our own.

Healthy morning!

Various colors of APPLE Tees and accessories

I met Beng and Zm after hip hop class. We'd Mos Burger at Plaza Sing for short dinner. We then continued our journey to Serangoon to have supper with Gabriel and Jx and discussed about the trip. Home sweet home at Zm's...

We jogged this morning along the highway. Love the fresh air and the greeneries alongside Sengkang Eastway. I felt so fresh when i went to work today. The sales was rather bad and i guess it was on the verge of closing down and retrenching part timers staff like me!
Darn!

Another Movie escape

I had another show, Hancock on Sunday night. My spree for movies this week was absurd. It had been so long since I last watched a movie before Hellboy2. Guess the last show i watched was acted by Patrick Damsey. I cant remember what's the title of that movie. I spent the night at Gary's residence.

Movie Bonanza

I had dinner with Steward and Stevi at Raffles City after i have finished my work. She's flying off to Korea on Monday. She told me that Steward misses me a lot. He used to be my tuition kid. Somehow I am not teaching him anymore due to my hectic schedules. He made a ruckus as I was not able to go over their place for the night. Rather petty but adorable boy he is. Stevi and I had a hard time of taming and appeasing him. Thanks to the burger meal as it helped to calm him down.
I met the gang for Hellboy2 afterwards. Gary ditched me and he had wasted his movie ticket since it had already been paid. He fainted halfway in his room as he had not been sleeping for ridiculous 48hours. Nobody sat on my right throughout the show. Hongkong Cafe was our next destination. Guess I was gonna be exhausted for service on Sunday morning.

Mango Tango!

Exhausted Thurs

Dear Diary,
I dragged my feet and went to work this morning. I had the intention of taking off day as I am extremely drained. I went over to meet Gary after my tuition at kembangan. Dozed off a few times while teaching. It was truly embarrassing for a tutor to sleep. Darn it! Gary couldn't sleep for the whole morning as well. But he is still widely awake and strong enough to accompany me. Time do fly very fast. Holiday is going to an end soon. But I try not to think about the ending as the thought of it acts as catalyst of the end product. I gotta think and make use of every moment and seconds especially with friends and people around us. Respect and being socialize with others truly fill my day.

Apple Day!!

I went over to Gerard's place the night before and watched Wimbledon Final. Nadal won the championship finally. We turned in early as we planned to jog and swim the next day. He just moved in to this place not long ago. It is right behind NUS, The Foliage. It was cosy and classy.

View from Balcony
We jogged to Fong Seng and bought Prata. The sight of NUS building sent some chill down my spine. I dislike the competitiveness and stress of the study life over in NUS. Outright terrible. Haha. We made a short relax over the pool. We discuss about paintings as he appreciates arts a lot.

I left for work afterwards. I was late for half an hour. But, I love to start my day early and do something healthily. It makes me fresh and jovial for the rest of my day. :)

Today was a special occasion. We had outing in the evening at KBox, Cineleisure. So we close the shop early as 5. Everybody was riding highly today.

Me and Ryan (comic Stripe)

We were trying to disturb Alfred who was on the line

Notorious Kids in Apple Centre

We had 4 cars in total total to bring all of us over. We booked a suite that costs at least 1k. It was furnished with large screen, pool table as well as buffet.

Huge Martell (Drooling)

Sushi Buffet

There were so many of us, 17 and we had to take turn in choosing the songs! The girls were good at singing those Chinese songs especially by Jay zhou and Jolin. While the guys truly rocked! We sang English songs! My boss even surprised us with his cantonese vocal skills. I realize that my company had so quite a number of talented singers that i don't come across often. It was an awesome night. Shawn drove us home. I guess many of us like the boss, Rick. He was helpful, generous and hilarious. I do learn something from him as the manager. He is humble and hilarious. He jokes with his employees and he sent all of us home. It drives us to work harder and yearn to contribute further to the company whenever he gives us tasks. I am so blessed to work in Apple and work for him. My colleagues are fun loving and entertaining as well. I will definitely learn to be like him when I have become a manager myself.

I cant believe that there were so little fishes in the shop today. No customer on sight. It just look like a monday to me. I accompanied Alfred, my colleague to deliver 2 I macs and 1 macbook pro to Intercontinental Hotel. He drove quite reckless, Sports car pattern. Our customer was paying us in US dollars.

Holy Cow!

US$ 8000 on sight

I thought it was US$8000, but it was only US$4500. But, I did my calculation wrongly as we wanna exchanged it in money changers. That was a bad move as we bargained for greater exchange rate and even had the intention of gaining the profit. haha.

Louis's car!

When the mission is done, we went to Bugis to buy packets of duck rice and Katong Laksa for our colleagues. Simple as it goes. The duck rice stall was familiar. I remembered i ate with Gilbert, vivien, serene and ry. It was so near yet so far. Time really flies.
As soon as the shop was gonna close, these 2 customers bought laptops. And I had to serve them. There goes my late Cell Group meeting..

What hurts the most

I have listened to this song for quite sometimes dating few months back. It touches my heart a lot.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

I love Apple

Dear Diary,

It was a joke today. Suddenly, almost everyone in my company wear slippers and berm to work today, while I am in a normal attire. Nobody informed me that it is annual stock taking today! I cant get to wear slippers! I really miss wearing sloppy attire. Haha.
Shi Yun, another of my colleague is another joke. She skipped school and came to work today. Probably, she has problem with her lecturer in RP.
My boss, Rick was so generous. He treated everyone Sakae sushi for lunch. Get to eat my favourite meals, Unagi, salmon and tuna brawl!!
I skipped dance again today. I have no mood to go. Guess, they will kick me out soon. I hope it's not too early. I don't have the motivation to dance. Oh Lord, help me get back to my old self again. I wanna be more cheerful and confidence.
