Countdown to Sept 8

Sighs...12 more days... Before I enter the Army.

Really wondering alot now. Hoping that everything would be fine there...None of the sergants mark me...have loads of friends...friends not being pussies and stuff like that?... I am sure they wont be lah. Anyways yea... I have quit my job at Firmenich.

I wanna meet everyone before i enter the army. I've met Admond n Edric today ( Long time since i saw both of them )..Poor Edric was admitted to the hospital cuz of his leg. And Sharon his gf was so nice as to keep him company everyday! Nice girls are hard to find nowadays. Every one is for themselves now.

I was thinking about a story that Kenneth told me...

Theres a guy working at a supermarket...and he would bring his 2 dogs there. A girl walked into the supermarket...started to play with the dogs. And she came back the next day and the day after and so on. Until she got aqquainted with the guy. So she got attracted to him and asked his collegue abt him. The collegue replied, u will never get the guy cuz all he loves in the world are his dogs.

Moral of e story... It is hard to find love nowadays without complexity. Whereas when u love a pet, u just have to give it love and warmth and it would be happy. No questions asked, nothing buried inside. Simple and straightforward.

Which i find really true... Its seems like its no longer "I love u" but "I love u because..."

See the diff?...mmmZ Havent met them in a long while...today is like nostalgia trip for me.

After meeting Edric...i went to meet Bryan for dinner where again we bumped into Glecy..our old classmate from cathecisim. And its kinda nice to talk to the people whom u dont usually mix with everyday. Lets u know how they are doing and stuff like that...

Went to Kino...Bumped into Judy from Orchid park. >.<....n yup...really loads of old friends coming up today.

When i reached home...i recieved a text from SeowFang...whom i have never met in like 3 over years...and she was asking me for my MSN and stuff like that...so yea...its kinda weird. MmmZ...

Did abit of reading today...about Blackholes and Purgatory...well actually reviewing them. Read them before...but was asking friends about it and opinions and stuff...

And Pluto is no longer a planet?....its being "Demoted" to a dwarf planet... Looks like the world has to change their textbooks and planetorium's hafta revamp the solar system and stuff like that lol.

What a world we live in... we really cant stop learning.

Am i digging chinese songs now?

What da hell man...i think 2 mths of 933fm has gotten me to like chinese songs...i am actually asking people for the song titles, artists and stuff like that...and on Yew Cheng's Bday...i freaking sang chinese songs at Plasma lar....>.<

Hahahaha...i have no idea what the lyrics mean...but i think theres like alot of the "Urmf" cuz the singers sing with so much "Feelings" like as if they wanna cry...

mmmZ....

Marcus Ou << & >> Me (Outside W.Network)

This is what we both look like after we shaved Outside WineNetwork! And we were working with that kinda hairstyle! LOL

GOT GUTS!

So after work at Firmenich today.. I went to meet Marcus Ou @ Orchard MRT station...we wanted to shave our hair before work today...went over to Wisma's Watsons to look for some spray on hair dye..but they only had 2 colours...black & dark brown...urgh...

Went over to Taka's Watsons and same thing...So we walked over to Heerens...this Jap shop at lvl 3...and got ourselves an ash coloured moosue dye. After that..we got our dinner at cine and took a cab to W.network...heh...

So Marcus started off first...we took this rattan chair and placed it on the roadside and he started shaving his ENTIRE side off...i was kinda shocked man...>.<

I had in mind a mohawk... sorta like aerodynamic mohawk. But i call it myself "Mohog" cuz i think its kinda shabbily done. Everyone told me they liked my hair...assholic customers didnt try me and nice customers complemented. 2 nice groups of customers even tipped me. Heh...and i heard an ah ma call me nice!

Mmm...We shaved at the roadside and took it to the toilet cuz we needed a mirror...i dont know wth got into me?...but this is called GOT GUTS!....however i think my hair isnt really even now on both sides...and there are some tiny spots which the hair is a tiny winy bit longer den the rest. LoL..Everyone looked at me and Marcus's hair. However some thought it was pretty funny...screw them cuz they are the usual typical singaporean who either keep their usual hair and some who rebond who wanna look good from the back only....or the usual side partings for guys and cliche center partings for bengs.

Its kinda cooling now that i am like 3/4 botak. However i think that i dont suit that kinda hairstyle?...i rather the studious or the normal usual styling of hair. LoL but anyways its for fun and what the hell..i am gonna shave it off before i enter the NS..

Its 5.46AM now and i am still not sleeping >.< Blog another day then.

Buyakasha!

Work was pretty harsh today...always was...always ready but never really...for work...

What the hell am i blabbering on about...

I feel that sometimes i am treated like a dog at work..."Aaron! go get IPA", "Aaron! get for me containers", "Aaron! Lick my butthole"....okay leave that out...but URGH....get the point?
But of cuz the temp staff shuts his trap and gets it done with a smile. Thats me ^^

It was crazy today...there were so many orders...and cuz i took leave last Friday, that Quek didnt pack anything at all man...so little..and i was given that kinda shit on a Monday. >.<....

Anyways...Tng's on leave for the whole week...heard hes gone deep sea fishing. Should be fun.

Lets see..Juli's a nocturnal bird! Hope i can get to see her when she comes to Singapore for a day.

Got a msg from Joann! Shes just moved in and came online today...but i didnt catch her...i got a feeling its gonna be hard for us to chat... But nevertheless...i hope we wouldent drift apart cuz of that. She said to me once...i'd forget her...mmm i cant...i wont...

Oh so we were going for lunch today...and this new manager came up to us...asking us if we were going for lunch. and asked if he could join us...Didnt catch his name though..but we talked...Hes attached to Firsin...thats Firmenich ( Singapore ) for 2 mths and then going to Firmenich ( Shang Hai) Lucky bastard!...hes from the States ( New York ) but he moved to Geneva at 5 years old...Background..Ba. Management ( Harvard University ) Butoh!...

23 years old only and hes getting to see the world. I am so envious >.<

So apparently hes a management manager...he gets the whole picture of what every department is doing and tries to improve workflow and stuff like that?... Then he will get posted permenantly at one of the branches in the world.

Moving on.. I had to do OT today cuz there was simply too much stuff...and Quek that asshole escaped! urgh.

OT is always boring...cuz u come home at night...like 9plus...and u cant do much except sleep in a few hours and get ready for work the next day...

So Dig this...i was eating Mee Hoon Kway for dinner alright...and this bloody Xiao Qiang ( Cockroach ) --> Thats what the chinese call it..dont know why....anyway it was on the side of my bowl...the inside side...luckily it wasnt on the soup or anything or i would vormit. So i was looking at it and it stared back at me and i lifted the bloody bowl and slammed it on the table.

Bloody thing would budge...so i flicked it and it flew...now i was kinda pissed off cuz i was scared if it took a shit onto my noodles or anything...But i had no choice..cuz i was still kinda hungry and dinner time was ending...so i shut my eyes and chewed on miserably... =..(

Went back to the lab after dinner...i opened this bunch of al can containers and guess what i saw...another FUCKING XIAO QIANG...i thought it was dead cuz it looked crushed...so i put on a pair of gloves started to take it out...fucker ran deeper into the bunch of bottles. So i told Alex...i cant sleep if i know i dont kill it. so he suggested IPA...isopropyl alcohol...i wanted to soak it in IPA and burn it...but the IPA killed it almost instantly. Its better den Bygon or Sheltox.

Anyways i took a cab home...Freaking costs me SGD$25.30. Urgh...TUAS is so damm far from civilization man...its nothing but factories and shit like that....And it wasnt even midnight charge!

Got home...was talking to Georgina just now...and HEY....shes like the 3rd or 4th person say that Joann looks like Jolin Cai!... Cuz she said pretty lady u have there..i was like Pretty right?! and she said she looks like Jolin Cai...I mean... I didnt mention anything abt anything. Joann dig this! U're like celebrity hot k?!

National Day

Juli and Me at City Square JB. 6th Aug 06

The Annual...

MmmZ....finally its mid year season....well sort of.. Thats when Juli comes down from the UK...to visit her relatives...

Just went to JB just now...met her at City Square...pretty fun! she still seems the same... Her mom was really nice to me...haha kept asking her to tell me to join them for dinner and all...well yea...basically we spent the whole day at city square. Walking around...shopping for books and stuff for her. OH YEA! i saw the NIKE REGIME at Crossover...but its like 399rm....bloody ripoff...its 170 sgd i think...mmm just divide by 2.3....but still...in sg its 130 only....but too bad they sold out here...they have size 11 and 10 left...which i think 10 fits nicely.

Well we were at the foodcourt...then after that...we left her parents and relatives...mmmZ...walked around...basically we combed the entire mall 3 times....went to e arcade...which we spent a whole lot of money. haha...pretty fun since i havent been to the arcade for a long time. and she likes racing games?...just that she dosent know how to use manual...and its crazy cuz her car was travelling at gear 1 all the way?....>.<....

MmmZ....went for bubble tea...and i told her she could have found a shop that sells bubble tea in msia...and bought her her favourite grape bubble tea.

Wanted to watch CLICK by Adam Sandler...its out earlier there..but the movie started half an hour and the next slot was pretty late.. anyways...we went into a bookshop...popular...got her posters of babies for her sister...a book on a guide to learning mandarin. and a story book which i had no idea wth was.

Mmm...well..had a fun time in the end! We walked from 2 all the way till 9 i think....its bloody 7 hours...of cuz a few breaks in between but wth?! haha ^^

Joann & I @ The Line ( Shangri - La ) 1st Aug 06

Shes Leaving..

Who?...Joann...sobZ...shes one i consider as a really gd friend?...but shes leaving to do her Ph.D in neurobiology...super smart huh?

We went to The Line on 1st Aug 06....i think thats gonna be our last 'date' together. And throughout these 'dates'...i found her getting more and more amusing... Its really strange cuz usually the girls would show their true colours by the 2nd or 3rd date...but no...its like her true colours are actually making me want to go out with her again!

I asked her this qn. And i was so amazed... Goes like this

A : Do you enjoy your job?
J : Yea very much.
A : Why? its like more than 50% of Singaporeans hate their jobs.
J : Its because my dream is to help mankind. Though mankind is killing itself...the least i can do is help them. Even if i dont find the cure for aids or anything, I would still feel satisfied about it because i would be helping the next person find it.
A : You are like Ms Universe man...

Thats really noble man...i mean everyone is in it for the money...mostly. Most of our passion dosent pay off...however her passion is to help mankind and i think the thing that pays her off most is mankind's benefit itself!

I am happy and sad that shes leaving...happy cuz shes gonna do something she likes and of cuz attain a higher qualification. Sad because i terribly miss her...even as i type this blog...the amout of words is like equilivent to the amout i miss her...mmm on a scale of 1-10?...which means its over the limit already. Haha...

Is this attraction? i often ask myself.... I mean I love having this relationship with her as a gd friend...She tells me I am the only guy friend that keeps a platonic relationship... But i feel good about it. I mean i had never ever had any designs on her before... But i wanna see her more after each time we meet.

Whats true love? I feel true love is when you forget about yourself and put yourself into another person's shoe and see the things he/she sees... Putting aside time to spend time with him/her even if schedule is packed etc. Making deep sacrifices for that person.

I am skeptical about wooing good friends...Cuz if something bad happens if we hit it off...things would never be the same again... Sigh. I dont wanna lose a good friend.

However, this has kept me wondering from time and again... Why is it that someone whos gonna get a Ph.D would want to hang out with a regular poly student... Its my honour to be her friend man... but sometimes i feel that i am not good enough for her. However, she has never ever put me in a situation where i felt small and unimportant. Shes pretty good at listening attentively and giving really gd comments.

Shes always telling me 'Angels by your side' before i go to bed... I would smile and think...arent u the angel?
