MaRvELgAL. Drunk When Sober.

So a lot of things happened to me since the last I updated here.

Relationship
I gave up on a long term relationship of more than 5 years. While most people around me were shocked or didn’t know how to react when I broke the news and some were just asking questions because they were being busybody, I really don’t give a shit about your opinion. Nor do I feel the need to explain or answer to you. But then again I do want to write about it. So here goes.

The underlying reason is my own selfishness. And that is all. I had a great relationship with a wonderful man whom to this day and possibly forever will always have a space in my heart. Nothing is going to change that.

So I may regret this decision. So be it.

To this relationship, I only have good memories.

Job
This year has been exceptionally bad. The economic downturn and heaps of internal issues happening in our office, I thought it would never end. Can you imagine, within the span of 8 months, I have had 4 different bosses?

But despite all that, it has a been a great year of achievement for me. Many a times I wondered if it’s just pure luck and timing, and the fact that I’m Monkey in this Ox year. Always I have been told otherwise by my peers and immediate bosses that the successes I have achieved were all down to my pure hard work. To be honest, it didn’t feel like hard work. It was a naturally enjoyable process for me. Yes there were obstacles and challenges and utterly stupid people to deal with, but that did not bother me at work. Yes yes I rant here but that’s about it. For the first time, I think I have to say and it’s alright to say that I am very proud of myself.

With that, I have finally decided to move on. I finally quit my job. It was such a relief for me. Huge sigh.

And whether I will be successful (of course I do want to be successful) or if I fail, I know I have mummy to go home to. It’s just a job, right?

New Place
At the same time, I will also be shifting to a new place and staying with 2 hot girls, not a houseful of people.

New Beginning
And so I have decided, this will be my last post here. I have far too many memories to delete this space. At the same time, I also want to start afresh, like all the other aspects of my life.

It has been a pleasure enjoying your read-ness-ship. Thanks for all your comments. If you have nothing to do online, feel free to read all my older archives.

Till we meet again.

You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you’re becoming someone else
Don’t recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you

You say you’re leaving as you look away
I know there’s really nothing left to say
Just know I’m here whenever you need me
I’ll wait for you

So I’ll let you go
I’ll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

Take your time I won’t go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I’ll keep your things right where you left them
I’ll be here for you

Oh and I’ll let you go
I’ll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I’ll be right here waiting to see
You find you come back to me

I can’t get close if you’re not there
I can’t get inside if there’s no soul to bear
I can’t fix you I can’t save you
It’s something you have to do

So I’ll let you go
I’ll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me
Come back to me
So I’ll let you go
I’ll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I’ll be right here waiting to see 
You find you come back to me

When you find you come back to me 
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me

I’ve paid for a couple spa last year in September when I was at this spa place with Fter. Only she will think of doing these kinda spa spa things. Hehehe.

Anyway, finally, yesterday, we went for this couple spa that comes with how-much-time-you-want jacuzzi, full body massage, facial and head massage and ear candling, all done in the same room together gether. The massage was really awesome, they didn’t like rush to get it over with, but really took their time to massage and press and thumb circle every inch of our bodies. Ahhhh, nice. I slept halfway during the facial and ear candling, which I thought was really unnecessary. But since I paid for it so, might as well. This was my boyfriend’s first time going for a spa muahahahhaha. He was initially quite sceptical and scared of the whole thing but in the end, I’m glad he enjoyed it, although this also means I get to laugh at him for being half gayish, cos he had a facial scrub.

Soon afterwards, the boss of the place had to call us to sit down for a chat, which of course means here-comes-the-sales-pitch talk. I’m getting quite used to these talks in Singapore, the only way to combat it is to sign the package say you don’t really have the money. I told the guy I really liked the massage but it’s not something I’d want to buy in advance. Face it, times are really bad now. I’d rather keep the money for rainy days. Maybe I’d come once a year or when my parents come down, I bring them for a couple spa. Just themselves la not me and them together jeez what’s wrong with you? And that’s just it. I really wonder how they will survive in this economy. Perhaps some tai tais would sign up lor.

Facials, however, are always a necessity for pretty looking girls like me.

The jacuzzi was really good and awfully romantic!! Hehehehe. I’m pretty sure next time if I could afford my own home, I’d also install a jacuzzi filled with rose petals and candles and 101 romantic songs (did you check out the 6 CD album geez!).

Something like this…

After 3 hours in a spa, we went for vegetarian food and headed home to play Pet Society. Yes, even da boyfriend is hooked with it.

I’ve been coughing for nearly 5 days already. Got this throat inflammation. Not the usual one, this one was really terrible. I can feel my throat swelling and my fever lasted quite a bit. I lost my voice and now I’ve got running nose. Swallowing also hurts and when the cough gets bad, I could be vomiting nothing but air.

So I’ve been eating porridges the whole week and tasteless soupish noodles. Everything’s tasteless.

Last Wednesday was bad. I was having high fever and in bed the whole day. Not talking, not picking up phone calls, just sleep and sleep and sleep. And missing mummy dearest badly.

I was so happy last Thursday when MsGreen, MrGuardsman and MrJetLi came to visit while I was working from home. I was just about to cook instant noodles when I heard the doorbell rang. They brought me porridge, a herbal jelly and a herbal drink. I was so touched. We had lunch together and off they went back to the office. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever got friends coming over to visit when I was sick. I thought it only happens in TV shows. Luckily I was wearing my bra when they came over. I made a conscious effort to finish watever they’ve brought for me.

It was good to be sick, I really appreciate their kind gesture and I learnt something new about them. They are keepers. Good stuff.

It’s Valentine’s Day today, Happy Valentine’s Day, my dear readers of 2 peehpul. I spent the morning doing some laundry for a while and we went to Paragon’s Din Tai Fung at Orchard Road to have our brunch at 4pm. Yes, 4pm. Then we walked to Shaw in hopes to catch a movie but the queue was so fucking long. Usually nobody watches movie at Shaw because the cinema’s quite old. But this time, the queue was so fucking long. Forget it, we never like Q-ing and it’s a job for Singaporeans only, so we walked aimlessly for a while until I suddenly had the urge to eat cake. And I remembered MsGreen bought this really really really delicious, best tasting cake I have ever eaten in my entire life for MsJazz’s birthday last year so I had to go get it for dinner. Walked to Takashimaya, St. Leaven at the market place downstairs but there was no strawberry cake. Sad smiley face here. You see, I’m not a cake person. But St. Leaven’s strawberry cake is so awesome, you can turn a gay person straight or vice versa after eating just one bite. I could finish an entire 1kg cake all by myself. It’s that fucking good. So it was sold out, and I went home heartbroken cos I couldn’t have my cake.

Going to Orchard on Valentine’s Day was of course the worst idea, but we only went there because of xiao long bao. Orchard was full of people. I don’t know why. All day everyday the place is fucking full of people. One auntie hit my ankles with her plastic bags so I gave her a stare. Her ’sorry sorry’ didn’t came across as sincere so if the world was to end tomorrow, I’d kill all aunties holding plastic bags first. Some idiots were selling roses for $5 a stalk. Who bloody buys a stalk of rose for $5 in this shiteous economy? Apparently, more dumbasses would. Some were also selling at $10. Heard from my mum, back in KL, 5 stalks of roses are sold at RM100. I tried to convince my boyfriend to buy a stalk for me but he refused to be a dumbass for the day. Shucks.

Now I came back and went straight online to catch up with my pet, Cibet, in Facebook’s Pet Society. Damn MsGreen for making me addicted to Pet Society! Arrrrrrrr! I find myself constantly logging in just to clean it, play ball with it, go shopping and race at the stadium. I’m getting quite good at racing hehehe. I’m so proud of my Cibet. But guess what? Pet Society’s under maintenance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sacrilegious!!!!! Damn I was so heart broken (again!). I miss my Cibet. Arrrrrr!!!!

My bloody running nose is annoying me. MsGreen says this should be the last stage of my throat inflammation. Once my running nose disappear, I’d be better. I’m going to take my bath now and force my boyfriend to watch Desperate Housewives from Season 4 because he promised me earlier he would watch with me. He didn’t get me any Valentine’s Day gift for 3 years in a row already. Enough is enough. Now it’s pay back time. I know how he hates Desperate Housewives eventhough he has never watched the series before. Just because there are some old looking women in a series doesn’t mean it’s not nice to watch. I’ve cried so hard watching a few episodes, and I think the stories are really touching. It’s even better than Prison Break, Lost and Heroes combined.

Happy Valentine’s Day again and hope you had a good one. Hope you spent loads of money because the economy needs it. 

For me, everyday is a valentine’s day =)

28th Oct 2008

(I just realized that I haven’t finished posting about my Beijing trip… tiuuu.)

I’m far too lazy to detail every damn thing so am going to try doing this, when pictures can speak a thousand words, I’ll just mumble a few sentences.

We took Tiger Airways btw, costs only S$160 from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh. The budget terminal here is not so bad, not as bad as the LCCT in KLIA. Clean and just alright for an airport to function. Not much complains here.

Me, mum, dad and boyfriend.

Yeah, shortcut to all those crappy airplane pictures you’ve seen a thousand times.

We started off exploring nearby our hotel area.
