We met in a leap year.
We made it in another.

Jason's Believe it or Not
Went for a run, came home, cool down, did some crunches, too tired, rested my legs... started snoring. -.-
Woke up to my snores, thought it was the next day. Ultra alert now.
True story.

"When you're in a dilemma, where do you turn to?"
Macus asked this on Fb,
and "U-turn" was what Joseph commented.
Turn left, I'd have said;
because life is not always gonna be right.
--
But then again, "who do you turn to" should be the correct question.
And yet again, why turn away? Face it, like a boss

The Speedy MOVE is here
I can feel it.
Moving Office Very Efficiently, by the way; MOVE.
Proj SMOVE is really taking a toll on everyone of us.
But the real test is yet to come.
See you tomorrow!
--
Still, life's great when compared to that stupid pig because she has been staying over in office!
My first reaction:
"OMG!...
So cool!!!"

Marcella, Y U NO MAKE SHIRT FASTER?!
Almost 2 months to correctly tailor a shirt, naise.
FYI, I went down today to know that it's only gonna be ready tomorrow,
when they promised to rush it out during the Valentine's week;
their original plan to deliver it before CNY was delayed all the way till now!!

Boss and Big Boss both says I should go into PR or marketing related industry. I hate that kind of job the most.

Dear Chris
The awkward moment when you lend your friend $60 and he transfers $100 back with the balance as interest; and you wonder if "fkyou" is an appropriate reply.
The awesome moment when you transfer $39.90 back to him with a smiley.

Is it true?
Man knows he has met his true love when he stop thinking about having sex with her;
woman knows when she starts contemplating it.

Not everything we can do without
Working and earning money is really not everything in life;
in fact, there are many other more exciting things to do in this world.
Thing is, we can never do them without money.
Working itself can be pretty exciting, just learn to change your perspective.
Adapt, because there's no other skills more important.

"Get married 5 years later ok?"
*nods* "okay......"
"So there is a plan?!"
--
-.-
No la, we just got together for fun!
--
Which isn't totally false.
(Both the "No" and the "fun" part)
But it's like asking an infant whether he's planning to go school.
That's where he'll eventually be, but it's just a right question at a wrong time.
I'd love to, totally. But what are the chances of it actually happening?
I won't say low, because what I thought I'm never gonna have,
I have it now. Everything's possible in love; like really everything.
For now, we'll just live the moment.

Favourism
You know how much it sucks to fall out of favour especially when you once had all the attention.
But sometimes, it's really good to be out of the limelight.
You come back to earth, and understand once again the natural state of being normal.
We are all unique, just like everyone else.
It's not how others see you as the special one that matters;
it's how you see every single one of everyone else as indispensable that's important.
Just be yourself.

Just 2 days...
Alright. Driving is getting boring...
It was only fun when it's illegal.
And just 2 consecutive nights I realize the pain to climb up the multi-storey carpark, going in and out of EPS carparks, stopping and moving off at consecutive red lights (manual car yo), making sure no one is crossing the zebra, forecasting when the yellow light is coming out, cruising along expressway feeling the ache in the ankle for stepping on the pedal for too long, and of course, topping up petrol. Zzz

Insecure
Yes I should be.
How can I not be when you are constantly hanging out with your ex whom you were once so deeply in love with; whom you still regularly meet up for supper, who is still in your clique of best friends; all these when you agree ex-es shouldn't be friends.
How can I not be when you told me you went overseas with a group of friends and one turns out to be your fling; who you were together with when we were close; whom you once said was just a friend; whose photos I still see in your mp3.
How can I not be when knowing how much of a reacher I am in having you; when knowing you are not replying certain messages to guys when I'm around; when knowing you can't make any promises to me except uncertainties.
--
But I really am not.
I just want you to be happy.
Insecurity is only for idiots.
You're already mine; what's there to fight for, what's there to lose.

Best friend never
It's a big risk to become BGF from BFF
Because you'll either end up getting married or become hi-bye friends. Or perhaps even strangers. One thing for sure: BFN
--
If you remain friends with your ex, you're either not serious about the relationship; or you're not serious about the break up.
You agreed. And I never thought its the former.
But only you know the answer.
--
We all know where this will lead to...
Better had it than never.
That's words of the losers.
Best have it forever.
Because its not easy to enjoy the moment knowing it's gonna end.
Still, stay happy. I will!
Feel the world.
Live the moment.

It's not easy being a father
but it's really one experience everyone's gotta have.
Just by making a bottle of milk in the car makes me realize how tedious and tough that role can be, but yet how much joy it beings about.
Fuck marriage? Think twice.
You can see the whole wide wold but still miss out on the best nature is providing

Felt useless
Cos I stayed home doing nothing today. Just ONE day, and I feel so aimless. Thank goodness I'm employed!
I had a hard time thinking why this day felt somewhat significant
Ohhh... Maybe I've really moved on

Thanks for being the greatest present of the night!
Because all my presents are like lame. Hah.

I realize Valentine's Day is just a nicer name for Guy-pay-for-everything-Day. But wellzzz, perhaps it's only applicable to some.
--
It's pretty easy to determine who's the settler and who's the reacher in a relationship by simply looking at who gives more shit about this day. When both don't give a damn, it's probably too good to be true.
--
All you scumbags!
GFs stick around all day everyday; all became "single" on Vday. -.-
What nice BFs you girls have. I pity you peeps. Hahaha. Just kidding.
Chillout again soon bros! No one will be Forever Alone I hope... :)

Employee's dilemma
When you are sick
You have two options:
1) Rest at home
2) Go to work
The first one shows irresponsibility on the employee's part because he will then be incompetent in finishing task-at-hand and lead to lost of man-hour. The latter results in similar act of irresponsibility because he/she will inevitably spread the virus/illness to co-workers in the same workplace, causing a local pandemic.
--
Now on the employee's part, it's 2am in the morning after a nice valentine's day dinner; coupled with the consistent coughing and the blocked nose which both exacerbate the breathlessness, insomnia is resulted, which is highly likely to reduce the willingness for early reverie and even if the before-mentioned is done so, efficiency level at work will be greatly compromised.
--
Oh wellz. Pon work it is...

Now I'm a flu-rider.
Luge was indeed fun (not forgetting the Skyride; both of which the noobie me is a first-timer)!
But Wavehouse is definitely the place to go before dying...
Surfing, I am gonna master you before I die!!! (Though I'm pretty pleased with my balancing skills yesterday, compared to Mr. Bamboo)
--
Helluva fun.
Only two down sides:
My neck is sooooo stiff now (and it happened to Jack and Zoe as well)
& I fell sick (probably cos of the rain) and spread the fever to my boss =(
Terribly sorry!!!

Things I learnt today
1) Politics within a corporate can be pretty dirty and ugly
2) Desperate housewives really do exist!
3) ONS/FWB is actually pretty popular even after passing the 30-mark
4) I miss my girl

Trust me, it's the saddest news I've heard today
I actually missed something so important.
I remembered so many dates that are now useless;
but I forgot that one important day I shouldn't have missed.

Am I focusing too much on inconsequential stuff that I miss out on things that are important?!
I have one fking big mistake I'll regret my whole fking life. 20years later, Uncle Jason will be telling your kids "How I Forgot Your Dad's 21st" and only remembering it a month later. Because giving excuses and apologizing is too mainstream, just forget my birthday. If forgetting your birthday is gonna affect our friendship, let's just remain as bros; because we're too awesome to be anything else. Happy belated birthday goodguykang. -- scumbagheng

And then I realize I'm not going to die just yet.

I'm finding back my old self.

Everything comes in waves
Just when I thought I can borrow money from Sis to pay for Uni fees, she got retrenched.
And when I got home, I got the news that fees are going up this year.
Haiz.
This is really the down point of my education life.
Reality is cruel.
No matter how good my results were,
the truth now is,
No scholarship.
No university for me...

Marcella, you better thank her
If not for Joyce, I would have condemned you!
First you failed your promise to deliver on time,
now that it is here, it's of the wrong fit!!!
I will miss it for both CNY AND Vday. Tsk.

We may have been different, but now you are the special one.
We may have been different, but now you are the special one.
Just a kiss
Lying here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings
when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment

I never open up to anyone
So hard to hold back
when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow
Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight
I know that if we give this a little time
it'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real
No it's never felt so right

No work, no income, no expenditure
Start work, shoe spoil, bag spoil, get girl
That's $80, $60, $(infinity)
Still got $170 for PPCDL, $300 for driving, $500 for diving, $150 for Ophir trip.
Not including the debts I owe Alex, Rex, Kang, Mum and Bro.
Not forgetting Valentine's Day is just lurking round the corner.
*KABOOM* Wallet just exploded.

First time was during Army;

Time. Money. Energy.
When will they ever reach an optimal equilibrium?!!!

Realized there's a lot of things yet to be done
I don't mean work. I mean things to be experienced and learnt. There's to much in life to ever have enough of it. Let's keep moving forward and upwards.
Brought a new pair of shoes today
And I feel the urge to splurge coming back to me. I brought a brown one, liked the grey one, and wanted the red one too. Zzz. Time to earn more money!!!

I should totally skip lunch break
Sun tan sounds like a good past time during that period.
One thing, I won't need to eat;
Second thing I won't spend unnecessary money because food is so expensive at Harborfront (cannot imagine next time at Raffles);
What's worse is when you go shopping during the break; naise. I spent $50 in less than a half an hour. -.-
--
Then again, treated boss and colleagues to lunch this afternoon. Repaid her treat (at a pro-rated price LOL)

I think brown shoes are the best. Because it goes well with all shades of jeans; and considering my rainbow-full T-shirt series, they're gonna be a perfect fit.
New HR Director came in this morning
Really friendly.
She was an officer, and her son's our age; went through NS at the same time (in Armour unit) as us; and is gonna go NUS FASS like us.

It's so different and empty that I bet Bryan will be stunned by the new outlook tomorrow when he enters.
Let's hope he doesn't mess with the books that I've decided to bring down from my table-top (because it's simply too retarded to waste my table space), they are my precious!

Every time I rearrange and organize my room, I feel a new source of energy in life; as though I have a new direction. That's why I keep shuffling my stuff around! Hahaha
I should start reading all my books
kinda regret putting them up for sale.
Feels like my brain is deteriorating... -.-
