Back to Reality

      Wasn't feeling that well... emotionally for the past few days. Since HongKong trip, i couldn't help but feel sad despite the fact that i don't look sad in front of most people. Guess of all, only Dingze & Nat or maybe Xinyi know the reason why i am rather sad during or after the trip. Never did i go into details though. Its hard to say... Don't ask, i don't know how to put it in words.

      First day of work, i received lots of complai... erm i mean comments about my team members during my leave. None of the relief-leaders wanted to work with my members again. Now then they know how i feel. *laugh* Sometimes, i do respect myself for being able to survive despite being sandwiched. But still, i can't help to despise myself for the lack of leadership & unable to train my members to be capable FA. I even received call before one of the leader reach the work place early that day and edit their reports.

      Really getting annoyed and felt like quiting after hearing news that alot of them are leaving. Some planning to go ahead of me. Its rather sad to think about my own future. Where should i be heading to? Which course or industry should i choose? What i like may not be what i could get. Not everyone is like Jianqiang or Dingze who pursue what they wanted.

      Despite feeling all down and low, i am glad that i am still useful for my fellow friends. Apart from work, i am still the old listener or people who can give-advice-without-experiencing-it-myself listener. Ironic? haha... Spend my KTV session singing abit but watch a number of mtvs. haha...

      On a lighter note, I watched Alvin & the Chipmunks yesterday. Storyline was predictable yet the chipmunks are real cool & cute... Their voice also great in the movie. Songs are nice. I love scenes in the movie like Theodore having bad dreams and the trio singing at the window pane. Enjoyed the movie TILL that idiot Wani called from workplace.

RECOUNT

      Sorry for the late posting, guys. I wasn't feeling that well after my trip to HongKong. Let's recount where we had been... Terminal 3 before we set off to hongkong... its big & spacious... Day 1... we went to Lan Tau at Ngong Ping, Citygate Shopping Center... Day 2...Wong Tai Sin's Lung Cheung Mall... Temples... Snoopy World... Apiliu Street... The Sweet Dynasty...Day 3... Stanley Market... Waterfront Bay... and many more... We seems to go alot of places? Definitely... with lots of photo shots too...

      Before we even board the airplane, we are having fun. Ashton, Dingze, Jack, Jianqiang & me stayed overnight at the airport. So-called celebrating my birthday... but... NO BIRTHDAY CAKE~!!! hmmm... but at least get a treat from mr zhang. We went to Terminal 3, which will only start functioning on 9 Jan 2008. We jump around, walk around and pee around... oops... i mean in terminal 3's toilet. We noticed a fly print at the urinal for guys. For guys to aim? hmm... but there are alot of people who didn't get marksman out there leh.

      Many people asked me. Is my trip a shopping trip or a sight-seeing trip? My answer would be 50-50. We spent almost equal time on shopping & at the same time not forgetting to see the various places. We took tonnes of photos. Since day 1, we formed the 183 Club with a personal assistant & a semi-professional/amateur photographer (self-proclaimed). Hence, there you go... we snapped everywhere we went to. We also have 3 free-lance photographer who would simply take our 'natural' shots. Alright, before everyone goes 'what?', let me introduce to our roles. Here you go:

     01. Elaine Tan, Ashton Tan's sister : Personal Assistant, Photographer-in-training
     02. Joey Ng, Ashton Tan's cousin: Tour Guide, Photographer, Manager, Image Consultant etc.
     03. Ashton Tan, the yandao: member of 183 Club, Assistant photographer
     04. Jack Heng, ah jack : member of 183 Club, Free-lance photographer
     05. Lionel Zhang, ah qiang aka the act-cool-ah-xia (rich guy): member of 183 Club
     06. Donatello Wu, ah ze aka the gentleman-looking-ah-xia: member of 183 Club, Free-lance photographer
     06. Wee Liang, xiao pang: member of 183 Club

Snoopy World@New Town Plaza

      5 different characters formed 183 Club. All have different personality. With the 2 "Bao-Ga-Liao" crew... We look good in almost all pictures. Looking at our pictures, its hard to believe we aren't the chosen ones... haha... we had enough photos to compiled into a Calendar, CD covers, Magazine covers & even Xie Zhen Ji... Hong Kong looks amazingly beautiful at night. Espically the Avenue of stars & the Peak.

Village @Lan Tau

      What is Hongkong famous for? "买东西，吃东西, 买东西，吃东西" As advertised, Hongkong is a shopping paradise, especially true for ladies. I saw lots of beautifully-styled clothes. If i had a girlfriend, i may go bankrupt. We bought alot of clothes... bargains... and ate a lot of great food... and the bad ones... Their reputable Dim Sum did not disappoint us. Soya Beancurd from The Sweet Dynasty is the highlight. Smooth and tasty. You can simply eat it without the ginger-flavored sugar syrup. It doesn't cuddles like most Singapore's version.

The Arrival of 183 Club

      We did not went to Disneyland nor Ocean Park. That is one of my disappointment. I actually looking forward to visit one of them but in the end, we did not go to any of them, due to inaccessibility & price. Anyway, other free beautiful places, more or less, did cover up a bit. So still... we took more than 1.6Gb of pictures... 183 Club looks good wherever we go, however we posed *laugh*

We look cool no matter how we sit

      To sum it up, we had a good time together. But i would be lying if i say i totally enjoyed myself. Unsure if it was due to the headaches i had or some other small matters, i did not enjoy as i had expected before the trip. But nevertheless, its good to go overseas with friends. You will get to know a lot more about them. The experience? i would give it a 7 or 7.5 out of 10.

The Ultimate Bowling Challengers

      On Sunday, a group of friends celebrate my birthday with me... Though i need to book for the ktv myself... and decide on the dinner place myself... haha... but its okay since they made it up by putting up a great "performance" in front of me & a great day... The most happening birthday i ever had... From KTV to "Amazing Race" in Cityhall/Orchard. Imagine how much fun & laughters we had... Its almost impossible for me to write the fun we had here in words... feel it, baby~!

DECEMBER

      Exactly one more week to my birthday & a trip to hongkong a day after. Can't wait for this day to arrive. I have been waiting for this day to come. December is my holiday season & a month for me to enjoy. Apart from my birthday & hongkong trip, I also have a bowling marathon this coming SAT & an outing on SUN... & ending the month with a BBQ. But before all the happy events... Tomorrow will be my IPPT, which is likely to be my last try. Wish me luck, but i don't pint much hopes as i am now alot FATTER than before.

      Received my first birthday & x'mas gift from.... surprise surprise... mr kang... he gave me a box of cookie, i think, from Japan during his vacation there. I haven't open it as i am trying to resist the temptation of eating MORE food before my ippt. It was actually the 2nd gift from him. I remember i received chocolate on his previous overseas holiday. So its kinda nice of him doing so despite little contacts. He still occasionally send me good music & emails etc. A nice person indeed.

      At work, everything still ok since the company is not producing much... haha... maybe collapsing soon. *evil grin* Anyway. I will decide where i want to study after my holidays. I wanted to live my life to the fullest & do what im interested in more. That's why i come up with a few more options. As usual, i have people 'pour cold water' without even really understand my views. Thinking i am still the young kid who do not know that study part-time is tough. Anyway, i heard enough of this phrase. haha... i have lots of friends in part-time studies.

      Hotel industry? Engineering industry? Currently, i am interested in the former.. but latter is my rice bowl now... so i had an advantage staying in this field. Hmm... heck... will think about it in January. *laugh*
