To Perth and Beyond

Wohoo! Just got back from my trip to Down Under Perth :). Yes yes... alot of ppl say it's the land of the old uncles and aunties sleeping in parks... But it's a beautiful place... and I would love to retire there... Go to the seaside everyday... sit in the park... admire the view... feel the sea breeze caress your face... It's gorgeous. And there are big patches of greenery and flowers everywhere. It's so fascinating to wait for spring and summer and see different kinds of wildflowers growing everywhere... Sighs....

And being with my daughter on this trip has been great. Cos' her ang moh is more power than mine, she's nice company and she has a ba bao dai... it has everything inside. From body moisturers, to sweets (2 different types), etc etc.... everything except face moisturers which both of us badly needed. Hahaha :)! But it was relaxing.... and there are so many birds and animals there.... I like animals =)... and greenery.

But the tv there really suxs... we watched tons of "comedy shows" ont he comedy channel... they have the normal shows like simpson etc... but then... they have "THE MAN's SHOW"... which feature the jiggety girls and the famous "GIRLS ON TRAMPOLINE", where scantily clad women bounce up and down.... me and bao stared at the screen for a while.. then burst into laughter... i mean... how lame can that be... do guys really get turned on by that?... mmmm.. Hahahahaha!

And there's this guy who msged me alot when I was Down Under... It's nice to have someone think of you all the time... :)... And whom you think about alot too. I'm happy!

Tappers End of Bond BBQ

Yup, the much anticipated end of our 3 years bond is up and this bbq is to celebrate our freedom. Even though this has given me more chances to sought for "greener" pastures... it has also made me sad... being the sentimental old fool... cos' it means that this bunch of people whom I have been working with everyday will be leaving one by one. Frankly... it has been a great 3 years. Yes... there have been worries, late nights (with pizzas), quarrels, tons of complaints (stupid sian suxs bloody hell)... but... I have made so many new friends, made so many new connections... I feel really blessed. Relationships with some people didn't really started on the right footing... but... you know... 3 years gives you enough time to really see them for who they are and well... friends need time to make and grow... But the sad thing is that some new friendships may not be blossoming cos' some people are leaving already... sighs...

Okok, enough of my mushiness... the night was great. We had our resident executive chef (in blue) and some fake assistant chefs (they just want to get to the hot whooping food first) who bbqed the night away to feed 20 hungry human pigs. We had Robertus who brought a huge cake which triggered everybody asking him - "Who's birthday?". I had my 2 bestest buddies, Kong and Leader, who brought food and whom I tried to make them mingle with my colleagues. And we had the human pigs to eat up the food.. Hahahaha. Usually... I hate crowds.. and mingling... but this night was different because after being in the same boat for 3 years, there are so many things in common to talk about... And one of the topics was flats... that I've nothing to talk about... but our age is the time where people start to form new families, get new homes :). It's nice to see people getting together and sounding happy and excited about their futures.

The bbq ended on a happy note... Everybody seemed cheerful... I spent the rest of the night till way past midnight chatting with Kong and Leader in my room, cosily airconditioned and sipping coffee. If only everyday is as happy as this one is.... :)

I think I'm falling in love... :D

This is wine, that's all too strange and strong.

I'm full of foolish songs and out my songs must pour.

So please forgive, this foolish haze I'm in.

I've never really been in love before....
