*the miss absent-minded award goes to...*

none other than yours truly!!

Sad to say... over the last weekend.. till yesterday... had some hit and miss with lost items..
Christmas Eve.. lost my new MNG jacket which i had not wore it except in the fitting room (and despite that SMRT cabbie driver pride himself that he was a honest guy who would return everything that his passenger had left behind in his cab.. I called the SMRT hotline 5 minutes after leaving the cab.. Guess what... it's still missing till date... Self-praise = no praise)
LOST item no. 1 = my jacket!

Yesterday... I realised that I did not have my card case (in which there were many cards.. credit cards, membership cards, previlege cards & my warrant pass) when i was making payment @ the Isetan sale.. (which by the way.. the crowd at the private sale was scary... like the chinese saying.. people mountian people sea!) .. thank goodness i've my nets card with me.. else.... went home straight after payment (was on one day leave yesterday... heehee) searched high and low in my room but can't find.. well, was prompted that it is in the cabinet at office.. anyway, it was like 3 hours before bs so made a trip down to office... Indeed it was sitting happily in one corner of my cabinet..

hmmm I think i need to make a checklist before i leave a place.. hmmm incidentally.. i kinda like sotong... !

*Sms communication*

Don't like communicating via sms. Lack the personal touch at times. Some may not intend to be sarcastic but inappropriate use of words or sentence structure might put wrong msg across. Read between the line. Or perhaps not.

*Service Excellence!*

[Incidentally, this is the title of the course that I'd taken as part of my training hours requirement... ] -- irrelevant

DEspite of the notorious service standard of the service industry in Singapore.. having experienced "excellent" customer service at two F&B outlet had really "blow" my head away.. In both scenario.. I complimented them for their "excellent" service.. Yes.. I did told them "THanks for your excellent service".. Not lying.. but rather to remind them that do treat others what you want others to treat you!

Excellent Service @ the basement resturant in Hereen.. [haha.. what an obvious clue to which restuarant I'm talking about!] ~ 21st Dec 2005
1. The manager (whom he proclaimed to be] doesn't seem to have respect for others. YEs.. the manager.. why? Is it good manners for someone to CUT your sentence, to interrupt you when you are talking to defend himself? Not just once.. ANd rasing his blooming voice just to get his pOint? Mr Manager who was on duty Wed evening DID exactly just that!!

a lil background stOry... about 15-20 of us would be arriving for our appreciation dinner at that place.. but only 5 of us were there earlier... REASOn.. cuz did not make reservation.. (later realised from long whoe arrived later that (A) THE restuarant claimed that NO reservation/ booking of tables DURING this festive period which was contrary to the "oh-it-sound-so-valid" excuse spun by MR Manager!) WAs told by THE manager that you can only OCCUPY a table if you have 80% of the seating capacity of that table. HEnce, we cannot & not allowed to BOOK the long table cuz despite that we would have 15-20 pple coming... WE CANNOT occupy any table if we failed to meet the 80% sitting capacity requirement)

ok.. hence that manager tried to reason out with me (haha.. mr MANAGER.. i guess you think that LOUD blooming voice would be able to scare me off? Hey sir... if you been through phone calls that pple called and complained and curse and swear at you, your parents.. (for something that you did not do, but due to their non-compliance with the laws).. would i be intimidated by you.. Nah... and yes... is it basic courtesy to cut a person in mid-sentence... I don't think so.. AND.. sir, you claimed to be the manager.. why aren't you even protraying basic courtesy? Cuz we didn't dressed up to the nines?

2. your "lame" explanation that the 2 ladies who took the other long table behind us.. They had made prior reservation. When queried on procedures to make reservation ~ haughtily stated "deposit of $25 pax". [if i had known that their staff told long that no reservation during the festive period.. he would surely be shot Speechless..] funnily.. the two ladies left within 5 minutes after MR manager left. [I wonder why?] Mr Manager... did you tell us the truth.. or just spun a pretty lie to entertain us? AND.. really.. you don't know your staff's full name?

Happily.. I shocked the MAnager when he tried to intimidate me by cutting my sentence shot... cuz i told him "sir. can you let me finish my sentence. It is impolite to cut a person when he or she has yet finish his/her sentence." hey.. my voice may be kiddish.. but me certainly won't be intimidated by him!! and was rather tempted to challenge him .. 80%, so if I come alone, I won't be allowed to sit at a table at all.. cuz the smallest table seats two person..]

Customers always right? Not in the eyes of this MANAGER.. (no wonder his staff protrayed similar attiude.. It runs from the top!]

Excellent SErvice @ a coffeejoint in J8 level one [ NOw I love STARBUCKS even more.. ] Dec 22, 2005
- An order of 3 drinks, a slice of cake, a salad was place with this curly hair Malay guy. Well.. the place ain't exactly crowded but the CHinese, thin, poor attitude beng seemed to be rather s=l=o=w and ya.. creating a line at the drinks pick-up pt. so curly hair malay guy TOOK the receipts of those queueing and gave us a no. stand each, informing ordes would be served to us at our table.
5-10 minutes passed.. the 1st drink served. another 5miutes 2nd drink served with the salad and they took away the no. stand without serving me my drink!!! So i just walked over and asked if my drink was ready. chinese beng talked to me without looking at me and said all the orders were served and asked for my receipt. TOld him that his colleague took it just now.. and that guy didn't seemed convinced (hey, do i need to con for a $6 coffee?) and the lady in black.. *the manager* asked for my receipt.. told her that one of guy had taken it earlier and gave us the stand instead. explained that the stand was taken cuz the orders were served.. [temperature rising.. controlling...] " you can check the table what's being served. I couldn't have possibly HIDE the glass, could i?" when they recalled the order - (all this while the beng looked totally bo*chup and refused to establish eye contact) - and yes realised that they DID indeed forgot the drink.. they merely said they would serve it. (btw the slice of cake that I'd ordered was actually sitting at the counter before I order it.. cuz before i ordered it.. there wasn't any reindeer slice in the cake counter.. and they just gave that to me.. goodness gracious.. i wonder how long it had been sitting there.. and it's rather rubbery... once again.. I thank the curlyhair guy for the excellent service and .. if i have a pen.. I woul comment on the feedback form!

few minutes later.. the lady in black.. the manager.. came and refunded us in full.. am rather shocked... she apologised for their error & hence refunding in full.. actually didn't wanted to take the $ but should not reject blessing.. well.. at least this manager take responsiblity for the errors of her team.. and not shun & defend. customer retention

but I won't want to go back to that outlet for a very long time....... give me a cuppa from starbucks (if given a choice.. kopitiam kopi!) oo.. and not to mention.. happy faces matter.. so if you are serving/ interacting with others.. SMILE!!

I'm not exactly a customer from hell.. treat me nice and I will spread the word around about the truly genuine excellent service...

*red.. violet red..*

haha.. I didn't get pink streaks. i guess the brown highlights made my hair looked very dry.. hence.. my hairstylist recommended me to colour the wholehead instead of highlights.. violet red..

Result.. well.. it looks rather loud under light.. dull hue of red.. and on the strands that were previously brown... magenta red! haha.. the next best thing to pink i reckon... red.. festive color ma.. for christmas and new year hahaha!

Oh ya.. violet.. moi changed my blogskin last week! :)

prior to my bright color antics.. met cuiqi for sHopping at MNG sale.. bought this girlish skirt which was rather pricey even after discount... but it looked so good.. (am actually wearing it now.. ) and this very glam royal blue (color not easy to match but love the material! ).

had a wacky time with carmen, glenn and max last night.. i guess the mad cow lived to his name last night.. thanks though.. cuz ya.. wacky it may be.. at least it was fun... thanks glenn for sending me to the far east cuz ya.. kinda out of the way...

*Rules and Boundary...*

In this society... you are have to abide by rules and regulations... (yay, respect the authority that GOd has placed over you. Provided it does not conflict with the 1st commandment!)

The rebels would like this.. "Rules(laws) are meant to be broken." [though I don't agree with that. though sometimes you might have stepped on the line.. without realising it! but change is necessary for growth! so.. count the costs!]

Went back to work this morNing. Uncle Cabbie took $15 from me cuz of the volcanic eruption early this morning that only let me rest at 5am. Saw this email circulated by personnel on the new section on blogging..
" On the use of a website or blogging, an officer may create or participate in a blog or other types of online publishing or discussion to share their personal experiences, hobbies, etc. if they do so in their personal capacity, responsibly and in their own time. However, they should be mindful that the Internet is another public forum and they will be personally responsible for what they write. Should an officer be found to have acted irresponsibly and infringe this guideline, disciplinary action may be taken against him/her..."

Oh man.. I'd violated this guideline... cuz I'd compOsed this during the working hour.. so next time.. will do so during my lunch hour then... seriously... the organisation don't owned us.. so why the necessity to get their permission if I want to create a blog in my own capacity...? I guess the norm is that they want to feel that they are in control. Anyway, i reckon the size of my brain not pea size.. and nah.. i won't go against the authority nor blogged about internal procedures.. (hey.. classified is classified ma.. though I see people reading classified documents openly on the MRT!)

Control.. to be in control is a good feeling.. though the one being controlled usually wants to break free... Me? seriously, I don't like to be restrained.. but right now.. I just feel being bound by the way things are..why can't i do the things that i wanted to... gotta see beyond that..yea.. period of waiting... enjoy the process, cuz the fruits will come... (fruits don't ripe instantly...you gotta wait..)

I will wait.. You're my hope.. I will worship... the Everlasting King.. the Holy One..
I will wait.. You're my strength.. I will worship.. the Everlasting King.. the Holy One...

In all things, give thanks to God!

truly.. praise is a sarcrifice!

*Volcanic eruption*

At 2am, volcano erupted in pasir ris. What shall i say. New level bigger devil. Was in the midst of doing the appreciatn thingy when the door sprang open. High decibel shootout. Door closed. I off light. Decided to go online to send the pix to carmen b4 zz. 5min later, phone rang. Call frm mom. Cancelld the call. Tried to log off. She came in and refused to bulge until i sleep. Yes, i undrstand her concern abt insufficient sleep. But what infuriate her would be me being overly involved - in her opinion me obessed with church- in church stuff. And too lil time at home.
But i maintained my stand. Its my desire to serve God, and regardless of that, they are still my parents.. Cuz if compromised, sure can't get out.
No matter what, i would not be swayed.
Road ahead gonna be bumpy, but fear not cuz He who is with me is greater than he who is against me.

*Fear OVERcame!*

This is absolutely GROSS! This silly disgusting 6-legged creep decided to make an attempt to invade my room.. was happily adjusting my mag holder when this thing popped out.. Poor eugene on the line heard this pierceing SCREAM!! And thank God for the unopened Norton Internet Security which i hit it and it landed on the floor.. and the good old box held it for a while until i grabbed my good old trusty 最新现代汉语大词词典 to add weight to the box!! hmm actually let out yet another SCREAM when i lifted my dictionary and shifted the box (cuz i wanna crush it) CUz i saw the wriggling legs.. Man it's almost as long as my index finger!!!! Poor eugene got it the second time.. but i managed to swiftly crush that.. and Phew... it's finished!! Amen!!

ACtually, I'm rather petrified when i saw it.. BUT the belief that one roach breeds many more gave the motivation and the quick response to exterminate it AT all cost..

Parallel to be drawn.. if inspite of fear, i can rise up tO face the fear and conquer that by my own hands.. WIth Him.. I can certainly slay that Goliath of mine..

*friends..*

truly.. I thank God for placing wonderful people among my midst..

In every phase of my life.. people around me changed. There are seasons in life that you're chummy with some and when the next season come along.. the gap widen.. You never know when the fellowship will cease.. Hence cherish your pals/ colleagues/ family members ard you!!

I thank God for some of the wonderful pals that have left their prints in my life.. especially in these recent four years..

long :: one of my closest pal in the cell. (with the exception for eugene & vicky, we've been in the same cell for very very long time.. since my 1st official cg!) brother.. thanks fOr believing in me even when I don't. really really appreciate your care and concern and the occasionally "harsh" word to get me back in shape!

eugene :: my lil bro (cuz he called me his “大家姐“` pronouced in canto) hmmm bro.. really you have grown up.. though we look younger now than we were four years ago! haha... hmmm thanks for the words, the fellowship.. the encouragement.. thanks for being the 弟弟 that i never had... really enjoyed the fellowship we had after bs yesterday.. Let's strive on together!! BV huh? :) [ps. btw remember that conversation we had when we left Bible House.. actually.. i really meant what I say cuz if you ask me to consider that.. actually i did.. ya.. I guess my brother knows me best right... BUT.. this is not the season for me to consider this yet.. and like what i told you... there will be major upheaval should clashes occur.. but eh.. don't prophesy that la!! [leave everything to God, ya!]

jadyn :: one of the choir helper that i was formerly under... who took good care of me.. girl.. actually i was kinda scare of you initially...(bet you don't know that!!) but gal.. talking to you really really motivate me a lot!!

jolene :: one of my 1st few choir pals that I've grown close to.. really really can sense the love of Christ from her...

max :: seriously.. my 1st impression of this choirbro turned cellgrp member ain't that rosy.. haha... cuz I thought you are out of this world.. (if i use unique.. you will just permutate the word to another.. haha) we had our differences.. though glad that it was sorted out... else i won't have the chance to know you more than just another name in the cellgrp. A real talented guy in the area of creative works.. one that really goes all the way out to help his friends... keep going in the direction that Holy Spirit is leading you.. don't look back at the past and yet not be intimidated by His calling upon your life. Live out your destiny.. don't rob the rest of what you are to do!! Don't tarry brother!! :) step OUT and UP!! You are not alone in this journey!

lian :: my 1st disciple.. i would never forget the two hour long bs that I'd given you at the bedok mac.. on gifts/ ministry .. and actually never expect at the moment in time when i challenged you to sign up for a ministry.. which i don't know what's the reason for promoting usher.. (now I know why.. It's His prompting!) gal, missed the long chats we had.. hmm let's make things happen k?

my colleague @ work : vic :: don't think she's reading this.. high chance no.. but really thank God for this wonderful friend of mine whom i just got to know early this year.. but really grown rather close to her.. hmm hope to undo the misunderstandings you have towards christianity though..

violet :: my palie thru' JC to NTU... lots of memorises shared.. thank God that we still keep in contact.. :)

~~~~~~~~~
thank U all... for being my dearet pals!!!

Hmm had my eyes set on them since the 1st time I got my mini and looking for iPod gadgets.. No bonus points for guessing my fave color.. though i actually like them all.. espeically the middle four.. they are BRIGHT!! Well, like my friend Vic would say.. don't be crazy to buy them.. though I'm not surprise if you would.. seriously.. i might consider bUying them.. unless these appears in my christmas stocking! (though I won't be hanging any.. not that i ever did anyway..) Gee don't they look sooo appealing... lalala..

bought two golla pouches @ PK Computer.. Man, the prices at Funan varies man! Cuz i saw them priced at $22.90 @ other shops.. and man. all of them are at $14.90! Since I can't get my iPod Socks, i make do with these.. One for my mini.. [the red one with the straps..] another light blue with a flower stitched @ the frOnt. hmmm yupyup.. something to reward myself..

Here's is it! cool ya? haha. I better stOp bUying things.. hmmm bought my third pair of the sparkly ballerina flats from URS & INC on Monday.. ( first pair was the pinky one.. 2nd pair was the kaki pair.. the latest edition.. the white one!!)

*??*

The most ridiculous thing happened last night. While I was walking out of my room to the kitchen( merely to empty my rubbish bin), dad just yelled at me for ALWAYS returning home in the wee hours of the night. [NOTE: the latest i'd reached home for the past week was Wed nite @ 1130ish & Sunday nite @11ish. AND I did inform my mom about it.] Hey... why do my brOther get the liberty to reach home as and when he pleases (and the late nights are for his pleasures purpose.. not work!) ] the double standard only applies cuz one with XX chromosome is MORE suceptible/at a higher risk to CRIME etc compared to one with XY chromosome?? And does curfew comes attached in looking youthful? Hey... I'm no longer donning any school uniforms and YET I'm expected to be straight home after school? [ yes.. school.. perhaps that's what they thought i'm still in school... you know come home straight after your lessons ended... ] or my name should be hermit instead or hermione..

And can't i have a few moment of solitude when i come home.. must you always come into my room when i need some peace? Must you treat me like a 16year old (whereby not such tight reins were over me when i was 16)

There is only one hiding place.. the secret place that I want to go back in..
In times like this.. I just want to hide in His arms, and forever stay in that realm.. The warmth, the reassurance..

Yes.. this is only the beginning.. New level.. new devil [not exactly new, but the old one in a more mightly way..] Well.. storms are around to be still. Mountains are there to be moved.. Problems are there to be overcome.. not by myself but with Him. The joy of the Lord is my strength!

*anOther Monday..*

hmmm despite of the feeble attempt to wake up earlier this mOrning.. I didn't managed to. Yes, I can push the blame on my alarms being too soft. Yet I know that my flesh is at work again!.

Drafted a very long email to be sent (obviously) cuz ya.. gotta talk to someone regarding certain things I felt that i ought to do but not sure if it is the time. Trigger point of this... services over sat & sun.

Had a very enjOyable time with michelle, carmen & max after service on Sun.. heehee.. I guess Michelle and I was a wee bit too tired.. so we were rather cranky!.. hahah.. ask carmen and max and you will know why.. perhaps for me.. crankiness & craziness is how i chose to react to certain things.. obv not all will get to see this side... heeeheee.. cuz not all can take it!

hmmm seemed that I'm in this parable state again.. but don't know why i tend to relate better to the younger folks than the people around my age.. or maybe its the spiritual level ba.. {side-track.. one of the sisters i just got to know yesterday from choir ~ she was standing next to me~ thought that i was 19! haha.. she got a shock to learn of my actual age.. hheeheehe.. ! made my day right.. seriously.. it's the Glory of God!!}

Thank U max for treating us to a mOvie! hmmm.. after deliberation.. we decided on "Perhaps.. Love".. Takashi Kaneshiro is ever soooo charming... and i just love his vOice.. that aside.. was rather touched and moved by certain portions of the movie... and yes... being one whose imagination tend to run... thoughts ran through my head (which was also essentially the trigger pt for the long email cuz many thoughts ran through my head while one of my colleague was presenting during the branch sharing.. and No.. it got nothing to do with WORK.. or rather.. partly has to deal with it.. but.. hmm.. ok.. stop at this ba!)... and hmm... shall not elaborate.. reason.. hmmm.. maybe not here.. why.. can't them state here either.. why? obviously for some reason.. ;p

gonna go off soon..
go off? from where? permanently? or temporary? soon? how soon? [yikes.. I'm talking to myself again! ] lalala!

*it's 2:30am and i'm wide awake..(the one hOur long entry!)*

truly, I know that I ought to be in bed catching winks now.. but after creating the 3rd card for the december bAbies (in midst I was listening to the Angels sermon.. really regretted not attending the service.. but couldn't be there cuz ya, it was the day that i brought my mom for chinese service... nevertheless.. still could feel the tangible presence in my rOOm .. and.. ) didn't realise that the newest addition to the cg happened to be born in december as well... [fortunately, i got his info last week.. phew, i didn't miss it.. else.. head roll? cuz am supposed to update the contacts..]

there are actually many things that i need to do, but just don't know where to start from.. hmm which reminds me of this song that I love in my dhs choir days..

"sometimes my life is like a ball of

mixed up colored strings,

so full of knots and tangles,

i just can't do a thing.

And when i go to sort it out,

I realise that I

gonna have to take it

one string at a time.

one by one,

each shining color thread.

blue by blue,

green by green and red by red.

Tll the colors come untangled and

the knots are all undone..

one by one..

one by one.

......

.....

i can make it one by one."

actually forgotten the words to verse 2& 3 just remembered verse 1 & chorUs.. so dug out my sec sch chOir folder~ think the pri. sch one still ard somewhere..~ ya i keep my old stUff~ .. ha... it's a decade old now ( ha.. i suppose u can estimate my age right!) sUrprisingly, the scores are still in good condition.. except that it's kinda yellowish.. wa.. looking thru' the scores..bring back fond memories.. heehee... O, the song that i like titled "one by one".. hmmm why is there an MSG stamp there??]

gee.. am talking to myself once again.. whatever.. :)

*the demise of my fossil watch*

Thou shall not attempt to wear my watch while walking on the pedestrian path again.

Yesterday marked the demise of my pinky-flashing-flower fossil watch.
Was walking along the pesdestrain path to the bus-stop with my phone & wallet in one hand and the watch in the other.. was fumbling to retrieve a sms from my phone when i lost grip of my watch.. And yes, while i was walking across the cover of the drain. Before I could react, (to catch it), my poor watch has slipped in between the gaps of the drain cover and landed face down @ the floor of the drain. (which is aproximately 2 metres below ground).

The idea of opening the drain and climbing down crossed my mind when i saw the in-built steps below the drain cover.. [ha! crazy though right.. though haha.. I've walked in the drain & canal before.. in one of the vnr thingy in JC2. though come to think of it.. it's rather dangerous cuz water snakes can be lurking in the water...]. But, decided against it.. Cuz, (a) there's someone walking towards my direction 50m away. (b) I am gonna be late if i do that (cUz meeting emmy 530@ expo and it's like 5pm) (c) the watch would have been damaged cuz ya, the face is made of glass.. and falling 2m down against concrete ground would like smash the face... Ultimately, I don't want to dirty myself, hence.. frown upon that thought and ya.. proceeded to the prayer meeting, leaving my watch in the ditch..

Well, the consoling thought is that.. fortunately, it's not my fave red dkny watch that was my last year pressie.. And yes, the flashy watch is approximately 2 years old @ the time of the accident...

*You're Here With Me*

You're all I want,
You're all i need, Oh Jesus
Take more of me
So I can be more like You
And I'll hold onto You
Whatever I'll go through

You're here with me
My Saviour, my King
My everything, Oh Jesus You are
The reason I live, forever I'll give
My all to You

Open my eyes so I can see who You really are
Open my ears so i can hear Your tender voice
And I'll trust in You
Whatever I'll go through

You guide my path, each step that I take
You lead me Lord, in Your arms I'll stay

*Me.. who am i?*

frankly.. who knows me the best?

funny that when you refuse to hear from the Source and yet tried to hide in guise of distraction.. He would use a unsuspecting person {persons in my case} to turn to Him.. one is one that i was talking to.. the other is one that talked to me...

all in all... the msn conversation with my lil bro revealed to me certain things that i would choose to avoid.. the chat with max earlier does revealed to me what i should be doing as well..

how much do i want it? what do i want it for? Have i forgotten?

Yes, my Heavenly Father knows me the best.. thanks max & eugene!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and yes. avoid jumping to conclusion.. the porridge thingy was cancelled due to someone else's decision.. which i have no further comment on that...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

max.. thanks for lugging that desktop from home to bugis to sim lim to somerset [explain in next para why i was there] to home.. thanks for the help and labour/ energy exhausted!

was at somerset [6th flr FAber house] cuz a female sounding MELVIN called to inform that i'd won a lucky draw, guranteed to win the top 4 prizes if i go down & complete a 80min survey. plus i'm guranteed a thumbdrive cuz i'm a credit card user. i guess i make a nasty "potential" customer cuz ya.. i make a fuss over the fone with a tony guy.. cuz i was deciding against the decision to the "survey' [ha,, i'd suspected it was the timeshare thingy..] well.. that tony tried to use empathy to make me feel obliged to attend. else miss melvin won't get his/her commission.

it's a nicely-done-up-office with SPA feel.. and ya i decided to be more specific abt my job [inserted govt sector instead of tax auditor..] and ya.. gave my basic pay amt instead of gross.. hmm guessed that is a huge deterent cuz the 80min survey was suddenly 'full-housed" and yes, they gave me the prize that i "won" and WITHOUt the promised thumbdrive. yea right. the so-called $700 SPA voucher were worth less than $150 [S150 being the lavish estimation to the "spa scrub" the last were PAPER coupons] and yea, dun be conned.. ;p

gotta do the most impt thing now.. PRAYY!

*do i or do i not?*

seriously.. I do feel.. ha.. I must be a good actress.. doesn't show that it matters huh? perhaps, i hide it too well.. or rather.. only some can see.. some don't...

ha.. what am i talking about? yes, the issue that only the sNa folks out there would face.. hmmm trigger point of this pOst was a qUestion my friend pOst me today..

hmmm cuz it seemed to this friend of mine that i didn't seem plagued by this prob that most sNa folks would face. to the contrary.. I do.. many a times in fact.. stimulus : many.. songs, the subject itself.. places.. but dwelling in that ain't bring me anywhere but going in circles.. so ya.. in His timing.. :)

*Last Service @ No.1 Jurong West St 91*

hmm time flies.. it doesn't seemed like four Years! Wow,.. just a jiffy.. fours years had come and gone...

woah.. can't believe it... four years ago.. @ the last service @ hollywood.. dec 9,2001. I was abt 5 months old@chc! Was still @ the infant stage..i guess.. haha.. and if I didn't recall wrongly.. for the 1st service @ the jurong west premise. it also marked my 1st day @ CCH.. [aha.. I was in children church for brief 3 weeks..before i slipped into doing nothing.. cuz the timing wasn't right.. was working alt sat then.. hence can't commit my time.. and ya.. not my calling...] anyway.. the pics I took @ the hollywood..

ha.. amazingly some of them still in the same cg as i am.. (after multiplication, reshufflingm multiplication...] actually just two..:) sad to say some of faces are no longer around..

yes.. moving on to another place.. not just the beginning of a new chapter, but a new book! Thru'out these four years.. many memories.. fond ones more than :( ones.. It's not an uneventful four years.. and yes.. glad to say, there is a vast difference [spiritually] now & then..

Some of the pics taken last nite... [will arrange nicely on my flickr later..]

*a tribute to my hardy T610*

Truly.. a hardy, faithful phone..
one which had fell many times.. Swam in a bowl& blow-dried straight after and working perfectly for 1yr + after the wet experience...

my faithful T610 that had been faithfully serving me for the past 22 mths plus! Thanks for putting up with the frequent falls & despite of the scraches & bumps, you never let me down! You're truly a champion.. being the sOle phone that never need to hop down to the service centre for servicing... Thank you my dear! bearing with all th trauma & in turn getting kinda cranky as days go bye.. sorry, I gotta let you go while you are still have trade-in value.. [yes, there is still a practical side in me!] byee! hope someone will give you a new lease of life!

byeee my dear silver SE T610!

*V3!*

Actually intended to catch the webcast but didn;t make it in time... :(

V3? Wonder what it is? It's the sleek pinkie replacing my T610...

hmmm, I know this will be mine when i saw it @ the new teleshop @ ngee ann city on thurs! [it's limited edition!] And I only got mine after calling M1 Cust. Svc this morning to reserve it.. if not for vIc, my colleague, i would not be one of the 2500 in Sunny Island to hold this PinkV3! [well, the cute motorola guy @ teleshop even told us that earlier that day-thurs- there was a hussle between a man & a lady (man wanna get the phone for his gf, lady for herself.] hmmm limited edition, hence I don't think I would see many with this.. [my first sms on V3 took me 5min! which would otherwise be composed & sent in less than one min if i was using the 7260!] never mind.. will get used to it...
