Though he is forbidden by his deity to meet up with me, we met up yesterday. Went to Han's at Marina Square for a short dinner before making our way to Bugis - I had wanted to ease my craving for bubble tea : ) It did feel weird meeting up with him after such a long time (yes, I know it's only slightly over 2 weeks); there was a mixture of anticipation, anguish as well as joy (though I refused to admit so) He had dropped a few pounds and looked visibly tired, which was very different from the active and smiley King Kong months back.
Frankly speaking, I didn't know how to react in his presence. Should I act chirpy or just remain nonchalant? (I didn't know and I felt like an idiot) I had loads to tell him - I wanted to tell him that I kinda missed him though I felt sick of his money issues. However, he beat me to it when he told me that he had received a call from his cousin saying that his deity had got wind of our outing and that he was worried because he had broken his promise to the latter not to meet me till Chinese New Year. When asked about the consequences, he mentioned he might lose everything (Never play with higher powers eh?) and things would be much better if I had agreed to support him all the way (but I was not prepared to).
Every single time when he brings up the issue, I will feel tremendously sick. I strongly do not believe in girls supporting guys. No way. Though I must say I miss him alot, the aching feeling immediately morphs into pure anger and frustration the moment he tries to persuade me. I just want to run away from him...and confirm once again that this is not what I want for long term...Tried numerous times to forget about the whole issue and move on, but many a time, I cannot forget his big hands, his lovesick face and towering physique..
Should I leave? Am I able to do it? Can I forget him? I don't know.

Millions of Needles
After so much liaison between the tattoo artist, Adeline and me regarding the phoenix designs, price negotiations as well religious research, we finally did what we wanted to do yesterday : ) I was early (thought that early birds catch the most worms) and realized that the tattoo artist was not in yet : ( Ultimately, he was 15 minutes late : (
After the confirmation of the design and payment, Adeline was the 1st one who went for the painful process. While the tattoo artist was performing his art on her back, I sat in the same room
: ) I wanted to make sure I was there to give my full moral support to her~! I was quite surprised to see her remain oblivious the moment the needle pricked into her flesh. She was still smiling away, but it didn't last long. After half an hour, her smile curled and I could see her frown. I guess she must be in great pain at that point of time. Berline (Adeline's younger sister) and Sharon, after their haircut, joined me in giving moral support to Adeline, who, presumably, was momentarily dead because she was motionless : P (I hope she didn't faint due to excess pain)
The whole ordeal was over after 2 hours and we could see her heave a big sigh of relief : ) We were happy that she had breezed through the tremendously painful process and getting what she had wanted. The best part was that the phoenix design on her back was beautiful and it fully complemented to her existing star tattoo. It's worth both the money and the pain : )
After a 30 minute break, we went back and it was my turn. I must admit I was kinda stressed. My hands were cold and clammy and I couldn't stop going to the ladies' - Guess stress made my bladder lose control. After redefining the design, I laid on my side and he began his painful art on me. The moment the needle pricked into me, I trembled (natural reaction, I guess?) After a while, I was able to withstand the pain..but that was only for an hour. Outlining was considerably fine, but not the killer, which was the colouring part. Colouring is all about pricking the same spot repeatedly until the colour eats into the flesh. My design required 12 different types of colours..(Can you imagine the agony? I don't want to think anymore!)
The moment I knew the tattoo artist had used half an hour to colour only a small portion of the design, I wanted to kill myself straightaway because I could feel my skin rotting away from the repeated pricks and the pain was indescribable :~ ( Guess he could feel my agony and he was constantly assuring me that everything would be fine and that he gave me short breaks (as well as smoking breaks for himself) to rest my tensed muscle and to let the rotting skin breathe : ( I was beginning to feel phobic about the whole affair...especially the excruciating pain : (
Ultimately, the last few moments which he was about to complete the whole design, I was whining in pain and was egging him to speed up - I guess I couldn't tolerate the pain anymore; I had gone beyond my threshold of pain to the point of hallucination. I thought I saw tiny red bubbles when I stared at the wall : P The finished art was fantastic; the colour was vibrant as if it was for real. Though it received many compliments, I was certain that I did not want to undergo such excruciating pain anymore..
At the same time, I was very touched by the simple gestures of Adeline and Sharon. They have waited 5 hours for me and though they mentioned that it was nothing to them, I felt blessed to have such good friends around me : ) But one thing for sure, if it were either one of them, I would have done the same thing for them as well.
Right now, though I am still feeling the pain, aches and bruises, looking at the design makes me forget the negative feeling..Well, how can I not feel this way when it's going to be with me for life? ; )

Sleep
Accompanied Gramps to see her regular doctor this morning. Though very reluctant to wake up at 9 am, I had to - The bump on her head refused to go away after a couple of days (She fell head on while dozing off) Realized that it was indeed difficult for her to walk even for a few meters; she was dragging her feet slowly..slowly..Fortunately, there was Fat Boy : ) otherwise, I doubt it would be quite difficult to cope. The moment we walked into the room, the doctor started to scold her for being her own doctor - She has not been eating medicine that he prescribed for her. Instead she chose what she wanted to eat : ( Because of this, her cholesterol level increased, hence, the dizziness (as well as an attribution to the fall) Though she mentioned that she was sick of consuming medicine cocktail every single day, I believe it must be the expenses as well. I know how expensive medical care it is at this present moment because 160 bucks was transferred from my pocket to the doctor's after a few minutes of consultation, blood and urine test as well as a few tabs of medicine. This is of no choice because it is a way of prolonging the life of a loved one...
Had brunch at Tiong Bahru market. Initially had wanted to go home straight after that, but it was one of the rare times that she was out, hence, decided to let her whiff in more of the fresh air outside : ) She had her favorite fishball soup noodles whereas I had the shark nugget lor mee (it was just so-so though the stall received accolades) and iced soya bean milk (the standard dropped as well. Boo.) After that, we went home whereas Fat Boy rushed to work.
Felt full and sleepy after the heavy brunch and after a couple of hours on the net, I took my deserved nap after a refreshing shower : ) (Sleep is my ultimate love~!~!) Even after 4 hours, I refused to wake up, but due to hunger and thirst, I had no choice : ( Had wanted to eat Maggi mee with lotsa ketchup, veggies and ham, but was lazy to cook. Dragged myself to the nearest coffeeshop and bought back mixed veggie rice - Curry chicken thigh, cabbage and black soya tau pok! (Guess it's pretty standard : ) )
So much me-time today and I simply love it~!Guess it would be good if the weekdays are like that as well (Yes, I know I am dreaming) Hey! I feel like I am back in my university days - Skipping classes is my forte. Unfortunately, I cannot skip work : P

Rash Phobic
Went lunch with one of the clients from a prestigious private bank this afternoon. Actually, I don't really like such power lunches because it means eating into my precious 1 hour : ( I have to put on a mask and engage in shallow conversations : ( Actually, entertaining others is my forte; I never fail to draw others' attention and make them laugh if I want to. Many, including Adeline, say that I am destined to be in the sales line..but hey, being a sales person, who is constantly on the go, is damn tiring..Just like today.
Went back to the office, feeling shagged. Though munching a gigantic sweet and crunchy Fuji apple made me happy, it was short-lived. I spent the whole afternoon browsing through the numerous useless resumes and going into my favorite SPI forum : ) (I just want to go home and sleep) It didn't help that there were some issues with a candidate and the client due to some stupid miscommunication (I guess another deal lost : ( )
Despite tired, I went dinner with Adeline, Jacintha, Sunshine Boy, Sharon and her husband at Molly Malone's (Actually had just wanted a simple dinner) Had 2 and 1/2 pieces of beer-battered fish and fries, as well as Guinness stout : P (Guinness stout tastes like chicken essence). After a nice chat regarding our previous jobs as waitresses, we went home. Though still feeling tired and groggy, I was satisfied with the hearty Irish dinner : )
When I reached home, my calves started to itch - I began to feel paranoid. Recently, after suffering a heavy bout of rashes all over my body, I am extremely scared of rashes. Sometimes, at night, I would start to scratch my thigh and calves because I felt itchy. Not sure if it is for real or it is just a figment of imagination due to the paranoia...I have steered clear of the sun and seafood, but I still feel the itch..Is it due to beer?
I don't want to know.

Recollection
Just came back from work. Have not had dinner and feeling abit grouchy : ( Not sure what I am going to eat later on, but I am very sure I was super full from the club sandwich, pumpkin soup and banana smoothie at TCC. It was Boss's lunch treat and I reckoned it was not wise not to order anything expensive since he was using it as an opportunity to sound us out and determine our staying power with the company : ) Initially, it was rather awkward to have him around, but he managed to break the ice and in no time, we were discussing what the company could improve to proceed to the next level : )
Though it's already the 2nd day of the week, I must say that I did not have a good rest during the weekends. Last Sunday, I went for the Interfaith Outing, which was organized by SPI. Visited various Chinese and Hindu temples, mosques as well as churches. I must say I enjoyed the trip - If not for the outing, I doubt I would have known about their existence (what's more visit them?) However, I was quite disgusted by a particular couple. Not that they performed lotsa Public Display of Affection (PDA), just that the way they behaved towards each other was funny...
After the outing ended at 6pm, I joined the SPI members for dinner at a Korean restaurant. The food was fantastic - Had slices and sliced of barbecued beef without having to cook them myself
: P I enjoyed munching the endless flow of kimchi and cured radish as well : ) I will go there again!

Despite an expensive lunch, we had great fun reminiscing the past as well as digging at Boss (Guess that would be an evergreen topic : P ) Unfortunately, Rightie had to leave at 4pm for her church : ( Both Adeline and I walked to Far East Plaza to look for Douglas, the tattoo artist to discuss about our phoenix designs. Guess it's really important to communicate with the tattoo artist to minimize any unwanted pain and tears : P After that, we roamed around Orchard Road until I met up with Fat Boy to watch "Saw 4" - What a sucky movie. Boo.

Searching
I have been catching up on Rightie's blog after knowing that she was unhappy with her work and family. Wanting to make her happy, I decided to search and buy her Yoyo, a cartoon character in Hallmark cards : ) Many months back, she bought me Hoops after knowing I was terribly depressed. I am never a plushie person, but when I received the gift, I felt great love and it was good knowing that somebody still cared : ) By the way, Hoops is now sitting cosily at the little parapet in my office. Looking and touching it reminds me of Rightie. Now that it's her turn to be depressed, I have to do something for her : )
After having a quick dinner of MoS burger (I had my Ebi rice burger!), I went to the departmental store at the 2nd storey to begin my hunt for Yoyo! I panicked when I did not see any electric pink and green plushie anywhere. Walked round and round but to no avail. Out of despair, I seek the salesperson's help and imagine my happiness when she told me that she had kept them in the storeroom to make way for the plushies meant for the coming Christmas : D Picked a medium sized Yoyo and left for Zara, the flagship in Liat Towers. Had wanted to buy the T-shirt which Fat Boy wanted but the stock ran out : ( (That idiot had wanted to buy it weeks back, but due to its funny design, he wanted to consider before buying) Left for home due to my aching back and tired feet, but stuck to my jogging schedule (I am still terribly phobic of getting fat!) Came back and saw King Kong online. Frankly speaking, I was not sure I was still happy of seeing his nick...
It had been a while since we last had a good chat. Had not seen him for quite sometime too. Though I must say I miss him quite a bit - Imagine talking over the phone till almost 2am every night and meeting up 2 - 3 times per week months back. However, due to different opinions and beliefs regarding finance, I guess we have no choice. I must say that I was quite disappointed regarding yesterday afternoon - Finally gave him a call after much internal struggle and though happy to hear his voice, I was also shocked to know that he was on medical leave. When I asked him to see the doctor, he said that he had no money (Money again! Why must you always complain to me regarding money issues? What do you want from me?!) Hung up the phone and felt so bitter and disappointed (Is there nothing we can talk about except your shortage of cash?) The last straw came when I received a text message from him asking for a loan. I felt terribly sick and had concluded that this would never be what I was looking for. Never.
The time now is 10:25am. Another few more hours and I am going to meet Adeline and Rightie soon! Yay! I am so happy : D Great to see the girls again. Too bad, Amy will not be around. (What to do? Amy has newfound friends - Amy, I hate you. Hmpf!) : (

Booze Talk
After a quick dinner of double plain cheeseburger, fries and green tea at MacDonald's, I went to Shin Bar with Sharon and Sunshine Boy to get my S$2.90 fix. Guess at the ongoing rate, I am going to have a beer belly soon : ( We spoke about work (as usual!), marriage, clubbing and sex (ooooohhhh, one of my favorite topics : P ) After 2 mugs (which was actually insufficient), we left because it's only Friday tomorrow : (
During lunch, The Vegetarian shared with us that she was going to get married next year - Her boyfriend, who is almost a decade her senior, proposed to her yesterday and she agreed! Feel happy for her though I still think that she might be a tad too young for marriage (she's only 19). Then again, since she is so into her boyfriend, why not? Anyway, the latter had made all the necessary arrangements, all she needs to do is to sign the marriage certificate
: )
Another friend getting married. Gee, I feel so old (and single) : ( Well, initially I was very adamant not to marry just because the surrounding friends around me were getting hitched one by one and due to my age (I didn't know that 25 years old is a marriageable age!) However, after facing the pressure of being bombarded "When are you getting married? You are not getting any younger!" by Gramps, relatives and acquaintances; and the marital bliss of the newly-weds, I am not sure if I don't want to get married anytime soon : ( (Dammit! Am I going to yield to pressure soon? >: ( ) Then again, it really doesn't make sense to jump into the bandwagon when the heart's still unstable; ultimately, one will leave the marriage with regrets of marrying too soon. Of course, I do occasionally toy with the idea of marriage because I can wear the bridal gown, be the most beautiful bride around (that's how confident I am : P ) and of course, rush to catch the plane to my honeymoon destination after the banquet and be with somebody I love forever and ever and ever...(Wonder will that happen? Awwwwww....) *Dreamy*
Sales progress has been in the slumps since Day 1 of the month. Despite numerous interviews, I cannot seem to close a single damn permanent placement. It's either candidates rejecting offers or that clients are still not awaken from their fucking ideas - They are still looking for perfect fits, too slow in the recruitment process and in most cases, they cannot match the remuneration expectations of the candidates (this is what I hate most! Boo.) Well, I am prepared to be hit by the 80-20 gantry this month. Guess I just have to do what I should do eh?

Girl Power
It has only been 2 days and I missed her so and she's finally back today! : ) Yay~! For the past few days which she was in Bangkok, I was rotting in boredom. It didn't help that there was nothing much to do (What could I do with the limited number of resumes and the endless flow of job orders?). She came back looking very tired (Guess it must be due to the lack of sleep as well as the medication for her rashes). Nevertheless, that didn't stop us from catching up and yakking away while working : ) By the way, she bought me a cute little orange tee and 2 packets of dried pork skin crackers : ) (So sweet so sweet!)
Had the sickening meeting today instead because the air con was not working yesterday. Felt demoralized when Boss was asking how poor my sales were. Explained to him regarding the tight labor market (Gosh! Imagine how many times I repeated that to clients as well - Tight labor market) and hoped he understood the situation. Anyway, I have already mentally prepared myself that I would hit the cruel 80-20 rule as well as come back on alternate Saturday mornings (Oh, my precious sleep!)
Went for dinner at Marina Square with Adeline and Sunshine Boy. Had curry chicken vermicelli because I did not know what to have and it was a mistake : ( Guess it was too heavy for my liking and I felt bloated after that. We spoke about our secondary school days and how we prepared for our examinations. As Sunshine Boy wanted to satisfy his craving for thick toast, we proceeded to the HK cafe at the basement and continued with our gossips : P
Left at around 9pm because we have to wake up early for work tomorrow (Boo!) While both Adeline and Sunshine Boy headed to the bus-stop in front of the Esplanade, I strolled to the bus-stop opposite Peninsula Plaza to take my favorite bus, 51 : ) However, along the journey, I felt nauseous and feverish. Guess it must be due to the curry chicken vermicelli. How sick : (

Shattered
I always looked forward to the weekends because I can wake up late. Sleep becomes a luxury especially when one is working in a demanding and stressful environment, like BGC (Boo). Nothing can make me not sleep, be it hunger, stress, or even sleeping too much in the day. Unfortunately..I couldn't sleep well yesterday.
Was waiting for him* to come online yesterday. Wanted to share with him the mundane details of yesterday and of course how sick I was, rotting in the office every passing single day : ( Wanted to tell him that I had been feeling very lousy and luckless and that I was trying hard to find a "breakthrough" - to get out of the dark hole (like Sadako climbing out of the well?) and of course my newly bought red Maryjanes so that I could wear it to the coming SPI outing. Finally saw him online and before I could do anything..
He: Things do not go smoothly for you recently?
Me: How did you know? (Puzzled)
He: My Boss (Deity) was saying that if we continued to meet, I would bring my bad luck to you and I didn't want that to happen to you.
Me: (Demoralized) Then what you suggest?
He: He (Deity) was saying that my luck would improve after Chinese New Year. Let's not meet till then. I really do not want to screw up your life.
Me: (Super duper demoralized) OK, if that is what you want.
He: If you need to talk, I will always be there for you. We can always use the phone. By the way, if things do not work out, let's remain as good buddies.
Me: (Ultra demoralized) (You fucker) ***Went offline***
No doubt, he's the almost perfect guy that I am looking for. He has everything that I asked for and I must say that I have never revealed to him that, due to pride. He's tall and big. He cooks well. He sings well. Most importantly, I know how he feels about me. Somehow, I did visualize our future...But guess everything has vanished into thin air (Forget it!)
I am not going to accept such crap. I am going to forget him. I am going to treat this as a lesson learnt. No guy can play me out like this. He must know that we are never going to remain as good buddies. Never ever. As for myself, after this incident, I vow to be a better woman. No more playing the field for me. I am going to settle down and live the life that I want it to be.
It will happen.

Was waiting for him* to come online yesterday. Wanted to share with him the mundane details of yesterday and of course how sick I was, rotting in the office every passing single day : ( Wanted to tell him that I had been feeling very lousy and luckless and that I was trying hard to find a "breakthrough" - to get out of the dark hole (like Sadako climbing out of the well?) and of course my newly bought red Maryjanes so that I could wear it to the coming SPI outing. Finally saw him online and before I could do anything..
He: Things do not go smoothly for you recently?
Me: How did you know? (Puzzled)
He: My Boss (Deity) was saying that if we continued to meet, I would bring my bad luck to you and I didn't want that to happen to you.

End of the Weekends~!
I am so happy that my SCV bill was waived - I saved over 40 bucks for nothing! What happened was like that - Upon renewal of MaxOnline subscription, I was given 12 months worth of free SCV : ) Due to my absent-mindedness, I forgot about the expiry date and of course, Starhub conveniently billed me : ( Felt shortchanged as I am not home most of the time to watch SCV (and hey, isn't it right that they should at the very least reminded us of the expiry date?) Went down to the outlet at OUB Centre with Fat Boy this morning and voila! (He's the man!) He managed to talk his way through and I got the waiver! Yay~!
Met up with Adeline and we went to the Waterloo Temple to pray and ultimately, from the lot, she did not get a straight "yes" or "no" from the deity on whether she could have a phoenix drawing tattooed on her back : ( She was rather confused (Poor girl). As for me, I was rather confused from the lots as well..*Sigh* After that, we proceeded to the nearest hawker centre to grab ice cold drinks to cool down the heat!
Proceeded to the hairdresser's at Far East Plaza (since my flyaways were getting more and more irritating and Adeline was getting annoyed with her colour-fading bleached hair, why not?) Had my slanted fringe chopped off and right now, I must say that I looked like a freakin' China doll : P Went to recce the tattoo parlours once again and came to a renowned one which charges more reasonable prices than the previous one. Looks like we should be patronizing this one the moment Adeline came back from her Bangkok trip! (how envious!)
Yesterday, King Kong and I met up with Adeline and the guys to slack at Cafe Del Mar in Sentosa. Played volleyball, swam in the swimming pool (how sporty and sunny!) and sipped Mojitos : ) Due to the overdue exposure to sunlight, my face was charred red and my skin was burnt : ( How sick. Not only that, my rashes flared as well, causing me to itch all over (what the hell!) Saw Vicious Lady as well (how coincidental eh?) and as usual, her fakeness made me puke - She asked how long we had been there and whether we were keen to play volleyball with her. As I did not want to make myself unhappy, I left the place with King Kong and we had our dinner at Sakae Sushi. I was super duper hungry and wolfed down a few plates of spicy salmon sushi! (Yummy!) I felt extremely fried and tired and imagine how fast I sped to slumberland the moment my head touched the pillow : P
Last Friday, I went for my routine dental checkup and I was shocked when the dentist told me that I had 2 cavities in my teeth. I was puzzled; didn't I brush my teeth religiously twice a day? She explained that I did not brush my teeth hard enough and that I should avoid sweet and chewy stuff (my mochi and ang ku kueh! NoooOooooOoooooOOOOO!!!!!). Filling up cavities was an expensive affair - 150 bucks (fortunately, 1/2 of the amount is reimbursed by Boss : ) ). Left for dinner at Cafe De Orient in Sunset Way and was kinda disappointed with the food quality : ( Boo....
