Be Water My Friend

i always wondered how some people can spend their whole entire day online.
i can't do that for nuts.
normally when i go online, i'll check my mail, read some blogs and thats it. all completed within like seconds hahah. and then after that i am staring at the same blank screen. i know i know there are like movies and stuff online to watch, but somehow i am just not very intersted at this point. i think i am the kind that enjoys watching stuff comfortably on my tv at home.
ok so the most exciting thing that i have been trying to do for now, is to change the parting of my hair... i know how EXCITING and BIMBOTIC i am. what to do, stewardess mah.
the good thing is that i got work today. the bad news is that it is to india, and that it is like my last few flights. i feel very happy to be finally quitting. relieved in fact.though working has not dampen my passion for travelling. but then again,seriously, who doesn't like going on a holiday right. i will be taking many many breaks soon, can't wait to eat, drink, party, enjoy life abit more. and of course my dear friends, all in moderation, all in moderation.
signing out. plenty of hugs to myself.

I'm really, really, really glad that people are starting to blog once again! *tumbs up*
Jen, so sorry!!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! WOOOHOOO!!! 1 TOWER FROM ME OKAY?
So, if you win the best post, you'd get 1+1=2 towers! wow.... talk about getting high! hehe...
Well, for me, i've personally been swamped with assignments and work... and you know what sucks the most? having CHINA groupmates who can't speak english, or understand english at all! (not even the questions for the assignments) urgh... it's frustrating... seems like CHINA graduates ain't that good as what we all used to think. They haven't even done a financial report analysis at all... my, it's like asking a car mechanic who says he don't know how to do an engine oil change!
My, my... but of course, there are some good ones, those which come from the top schools in china of course... i guess each place has it's own batch of rotten apples. And you know what? The assignment is like 3000 words and they think it's sufficient. Please, 3000 is damn little for a 'serious' and 'masters' assignment. Arssholes...
Anyway, some bastard scratchd my car! I guess he didn't know how to park his car then he just went all the way in and really scratched my front bumper up real bad... ASSHOLE.. and i still don't know who it is.
Oh well, i'll let you guys know more about what's happening to me, but i'm seriously quite 'tied' up now, both emotionally, financially, psychologically, physically and all the 'llys' you can think off! hope i'll 'recover' soon!

two nights ago i went for shabu shabu with a whole bunch of friends. shabu shabu is what we call steam boat but with delicious japanese beef. i think i might have eaten three plates of beef by myself just cuz they were so damn good. after close to two hours of all-you-can-stuff-your-face, we went to a sleazy looking karaoke place that smelled as good as it looked. but it was all fun because my friends tend to do stupid things when they have alcohol dancing in their systems.
and today i have done nothing else except watch csi new york and eat junk. i love lazy sundays. especially when the dark clouds loom and the winds howl.
oh just an update on my transportation to and from work. my principal has so kindly offered to pick me up every morning and send me home after work. so until i get my cast removed on november 4th, i don't have to taxi to work. yay for kind japanese people.
p.s it was very nice hearing your voices when i called on jen's birthday night. :)
p.p.s jen, if i win the tower of beer, i will give it to you because im such a good friend.

Hello people from the bloggggggg :) Its been sometime since I last posted something! Ohh and as usual I posted again only after I changed my car in Brisbane...haha....managed to sell my mini for AUD$30K so I used the cash to buy this cosmic blue (looks purplish under the lights) mazda 3 MPS....loads of power and torque to the front wheels...2.3litres of turbo power....massive roller coaster fun....does 0-100km/h in 6secs flat without the need to rev to the heavens like my dc5R. The amazing thing about this car is that the car's ECU controls the turbo boost depending on which gear u're on to maintain traction....it does 80-120km/h faster than a 911 carrera which is sexy hahaha...the photos above are courtesy of mj who used his camera to good effect
Just to update people about what is happening with my life....I have two exam papers on the 6th and 15th Nov before I finish this semester. I am also doing summer semester come 24th Nov to the 1st week of Feb....will miss CNY in 2009 :( I will have one final semester from end Feb in 2009 to Early June 2009 before I graduate from my masters in International Econs & Finance. Fingers crossed....haha....So whoever wants to come for my grad next year pls plan yr leave/holiday :)
Good Luck to the guys in university locally and in australia with the coming exams. Damn studying is still da besttttt.....no one can disagree with that. Peace out guys. OhH and happy belated bday Jen!!~

i need to vent as well.
i just found out today from my accountant that i won't be reimbursed for the daily taxi fares to and from work. so that means the 4000yen i pay every day to get to school and back home comes out of my own tiny pocket. and that works out to be close to 100,000yen by the time i actually am able to get my blasted cast off and take the damn bus. i can use that 100,000yen to buy a friggin return air ticket back to singapore and still have change left over to eat fifty plates of chicken rice.
im angry. very very angry.

just to whine,
i am having a really bad headache,which i think results from the very bad pillows at this horrible zurich hotel. i can't even turn my head fully right, cause doing so would cause me to yelp in pain.
the people at this hotel are really racist and rude to asians. i don't understand why on earth are we being discriminated against.
oh i heard from a crew saying that one reason why they treat us badly is because the company pays them like minimum. so no choice they have to make us wait like 2 hours to give us the worst rooms, and no freebies of any sort. all thanks to the company who keeps trying to cut cost on our end.
i can't really state my company's name cause in the recent circular, they warn us against blogging about anything negative, and that they are keeping close tabs. how frightening, i must say.
signing out to go rest for a while,

Bankers are such a hypocritical bunch.
During good times, they shake your hand, earn their pay, snare a commission.
During tough times, they lose your money. Complain 'bout it, they say your'e ungrateful for the good times, and they're just doing their job.
But the thing, isn't their job to earn us money, protect our investments? Why should we thank them, pay them commission ?
Damn bankers, overglorified bunch of suited pencil pushers.

This blog is seriously getting very very FEW contributions, and usually from the same old few people (thumbs up to them!!)
I think we should seriously be more 'pro-active' in blogging! Considering almost half of us are overseas!
We should have a vote on who's blog is the most interesting/unique/enriching/entertaining every 6 mths! then, that person would get 1 'tower' of beer for free from the rest of us! isn't tt a good way to entice us to blog?
come on, do your bit! blog away!!! don't be a reader only, be PROACTIVE contributing to the greater good for the whole 'community'! Have we ended up in such a stale, boring period of our lives?

just because this blog seems to be dying a slow death, heres a short update on my life in an attempt to revive it!
so i fractured the end of my shin bone, nearer to my ankle, a week and a half ago at work. so im casted up and walking with crutches, which is a huge pain in the arse. especially when ive to hop down my apartment building's stairs one by one and hoping i dont fall and snap my neck in the process. showering is another pain; having to wrap my casted foot with a towel and then wrapping and tying three or four layers of plastic bags just to prevent water from seeping into the cast. i dont want to end up with a mouldy leg. and taxi-ing to and from work is making me yenless; but japan has brilliant work accident insurance coverage. just wished it doesnt take such a bloody long time. just gimme my money, damnit.
so anyway, im looking forward to walking properly, with shoes and all, in 5weeks' time. just in time to meet ayufan. he's lucky he doesnt have to carry an invalid around osaka.
hope you all are healthy! see you all soon!
