Would you invite your ex to your wedding??

Hehe.. well, that was the question asked during this morning's Mix FM radio show.. and this guy called up to share his hilarious encounter when he attended his ex's wedding.. the bride actually had all her exes placed in one table.. you can just imagine the stories that came out.. they were comparing when they met the her, how long they were together & even how many who has slept with her! OMG.. hehe.. aren't you supposed to keep them well away from each other..?

well, personally, i've only had one.. but there were a few who were more-than-friends-but-not-bf.. heck, i was already someone's ex before i ever had a bf! hahah.. don't ask me how that happen... people! they think they know so much about you & start talking behind your back not knowing that all they're saying is soo far from the truth..

one wedding which i attended.. or rather "forced" to attend a few years back was for this guy i met during my a-levels.. we almost had something going on, but it never came to anything.. sure, i was crushed when i heard he met someone at uni, but then we were friends after all & it's not like there's anything between us... so even if we no longer kept in touch, we do have the same friends & we do see each other at certain functions, so no point of me being less than civil about it..

however, the wife was so sure that i'm his ex, that she'd be making so much fuss whenever the topic of muah comes up.. Duh! like i care.. but i do pity my friends who are friends with her & hubby.. so that's how i was "forced" to attend their wedding.. the wife rounded up my friends to make sure that i attend.. not sure what that was supposed to achieve tho, but after almost 3 years of trying to avoid any confrontation with this mad woman, i decided to go.. & did it in style no less...ahaks..
brought along an escort.. lucky for me my cuz was a willing conspirator, although he almost got busted as some of his friends were there as well.. also last i heard about it was he did get some trashing from his gf abt this (although from my limited knowledge, they were not together yet during that time.. ).. opps.. didn't mean to get him in trouble..

i didn't realised it then but seems that i surprised quite a lot of people that nite.. news even travelled all the way to UK.. & the guy i was sort of seeing (off & on then), called me from UK asking me abt it.. poor guy.. & when it came this guy's wedding... well.. i better continue the story in pt 2.. this is getting too long, even for me.. haha..

so i'm off to waste a few hours before my 9pm meeting.. hmm..where should i go?? .....

So what if i want to stay in this cloud of mine?
where none of the bad things can ever touch me?
where i don't have to think about the future?
or what i need/should do?

I may not be as happy as I should, but I am not unhappy now..
I just need a little peace in my life.. at least for a while..
So leave me be.. allow me to enjoy while it lasts..
for i am sure it will not..

Darn it.. wished that i could actually go to Australia, rather than just do this new job from Spore.. hehe.. well, it's good enough that i do get travel at all huh? maybe one of these days... i don't like my job, but i do like my job too.. hehe.. can't seem to make up my mind here.. anyway, just how many people do you know who love theirs? i'll last it out here for as long as i can.. or at least till something better comes up.. hehe..

Wondered what caused the blackout this afternoon, that almost all of Klang Valley got affected? Luckily i was on my way out of lunch already, & not caught in the jam due to no traffic light.. in fact, my lunch partner's wife got caught in the elevator in Putrajaya during the blackout.. at least, only for a few minutes before it started again (must be the backup power..)..but scarily, the door opened to reveal walls, as she was in between floors when it happened...

god.. i so do not like these 'performance review' thingy...
and all those pep talk..
you need to be more aggrassive...
you need to project more leadership quality...
you should be looking for opportunities to grow...
you need to learn to work smart, not work hard...identify & eliminate wastage...
at this age, you should be more career-minded, mix with the right people...


yeah... yeah... tell me about it..
and these so-call "work-life balance".. how is it possible to have such thing, with the amount of work expected out of us, & this current headcount.. ? As it is, what we do is never enough.. & he just couldn't get over the fact that i passed over that vacancy..

well.. i'm not exactly aiming for the head.. nor am i willing to stay in this level forever.. but i don't exactly know what is it that i'm looking for.. where to specialise.. what to aim/focus on.. he said that experience doesn't matter if you're strong enough to compete, to get what you want.. and yes, in this environment, we need to be fast & we need to be better than the next person & we need to be visible.. one way or another..

and how do i do that? nooo idea whatsoeva....

2004 has finally left us.. Happy New Year!!

This year's New Year celebration was pretty low key as compared to the last.. Prolly due to the cancellation of countdown by Singapore, plus the rain has been going on/off throughout the whole day.. either that or Grand Hyatt throws a better party than Conrad... hehe..

But watching those people on the dance floor, i can't help but noticed that the westerners really do know how to dance.. well, not all of course.. but those who knew, wow, should see how the guys twirl the girls round & round... they looked like they're having a ball.. what, me join them? woohoo, don't think so.. i'm way to self-conscious to be dancing all nite.. haha.. the asians however & here's mostly the elderly ones, tend to be more class-room inspired movements.. nonetheless, these ppl do know how to dance, unlike myself..
(Note: just my own observation, not a sweeping generalisation of any particular person/race/region/whatever)

Although the bedroom is smaller than Hyatt's, but it's much better really.. the bed, is so heavenly.. they even turn down the bed for me during the evening, the pillows & duvet is soo soft that you could sink into it... wished i could stay in bed the whole day.. if only the company would pay for me to have another nite there... well, you can't expect me to afford a room like that do you?

But celebrating New Year's on your own, is no fun.. well, what to do.. they tell you to work, that's what you do..
