Juz emotions taking me over

Archive for October 2005

One can never be too amazed at the kind of language that comes out of you when you blow up. My apologies for those who got a shock haha..I hope that I’ll never have to do that again. So I will not be removing what I previously wrote as a reminder. Thanks Val, for your sweet note of encouragement.

In response to a comment that I already deleted, I already said that my blog is not open to criticism because I do not like people to judge my thoughts. Blogs are for expressing personal views. So if you cannot respect my personal views, pls I say pls get the message.

Following this saga of anti-smoking, I went to do a lil’ bit of research on smoking. No doubt that the taxes are high for the cigarettes, but they do not constitute a major piece of the $ pie that Singapore earns as some people assume. Endorsing people to smoke with this excuse is incredible, considering the type of complaints abt the high taxes I get from smoker friends when they buy their cigarettes.

From Singapore’s history, we already learned that Singapore relied on its ideal location and deep sea harbour to prosper to what it is today. Singapore has never supported its people to smoke, especially in recent years where you see the anti-smoking campaigns becoming more aggressive. The fact that the govt are making more places smoke-free is evident of this fact. In western countries, cigarette companies are allowed to promote their brands freely, not so in Singapore.

Thinking that non-smokers should keep quiet abt becoming passive smokers by force is just such a @#$%^ idea. Don’t tell me that if someone tries to rob you or kill you, you keep quiet? You may think it is too serious of me to think this way. But think abt this, the smoke contains 4000 types of substances, of which more than 40 causes cancer and many are strong irritants which will affect your health. (http://www.umm.edu/careguides/asthma/asthma_secondhandsmoke.html) You get robbed of your health and die a slow unawared death.

Do you know that out of Singapore’s top 3 causes of illness leading to death (Cancer, Pneumonia and heart disease), 2 gotta do with smoking? Again, no offence to anyone, especially smoker friends. I can never emphasize enough abt the fact that I am NOT against smoker friends, I am only against the cigarette in their hand which slowly poisons you and me.

I just wrote my entry abt the Singapore Hit awards n I saw some comments by some people on my entry abt the buffet-ktv. I do appreciate comments on my blog by people but I do not appreciate people criticising what I write even if you are close friends coz this is MY blog n I am entitled to comment on what I think I see n feel.

So if you wanna express your dissatisfaction at what you see on my blog, or simply bothered by what I wrote, BUZZ OFF n WRITE ON YOUR OWN BLOG LIKE I DO TO MINE. Scold me, bitch abt me all you want AT YOUR OWN BLOG, I DUN CARE.

So what if M was sitting at a corner, I didn’t tell him to sit there, did I? IF he was so considerate to strangers, he should have smoked outside given that he doesn’t know. Yeah, I do know I was holding the mic for the songs, but hey, purpose of going KTV is to sing, not go n listen to songs. If no one singing, then might jolly well just listen to songs. If wanna listen to songs so much, go TURN ON THE RADIO, buy a CD, download a song or go to a lounge or Ming Ge Can Ting instead. Oh yah..on 2nd thot, cancel the Ming Ge Can Ting idea, it’s a NO-SMOKING place.

I ask people to insert songs, sing the songs, but all bz talking loudly or choosing even more songs or dunno how it goes. So what u expect? Play analog again n again? 

Ok, abt the hitting-on part, instead of me commenting n people complaining, why not JUZ ASK HIM to find out? Or maybe I should explain my stand. Ever since we intro H as Rainbow n suggested the ktv, he has been talking abt how his fav song is Rainbow by Fish Leong, raving abt how much he love it all the time while in the ktv n complaining when it wasn’t there. FYI, I already picked the song for him when he requested, but it was skipped by the system. Then was i the only one who saw that after Dor n hubby left, M came over n sat beside H to start talking? That’s why the hitting on idea came abt. This is a stupid quarrel. So what if I did what I did, playing on my hp? I dun wanna sing or talk, go into bad mood, wrong is it? I must comply to your moods, is it? Then he is very good lor, giving his honest opinion knowing that it is offensive. Next time, go ktv with him, since u all enjoy his smoke n listening to analogs on the songs n dun mind his HONEST COMMENTS.

As for me, I rather go to ktv with people who enjoy KTV n know how to keep quiet or speak softly when people are singing. I do go out to ktv with smoker friends, and they smoke in the ktv (I don’t like it, but for friendship sake, i simply compromise) but I don’t go out with MOOD SPOILERS.

Now if for any reason that this entry is offensive to you, PLS go bitch on your own blogs COZ your comments are not welcomed on mine. Oh..n pls do not ask me to go ktv with you, coz I won’t ask you either.

Just heard the news on 93.3 that Yixin from DreamzFM (my fav of the 3 guys) will be going to the Singapore Hit Awards. So happy!! Coz I’m going too n I’ll get to see him again! Been a long time since I saw him. The last time was a few years ago at the New Yr countdown at Esplanade. Still remember I was sitting at the front, star struck haha..took 1/2 day off to go there in the afternoon to ‘book’ seats. Really admire his talent for music. Can play guitar n piano, write songs, do arrangements..see..so talented! hee..n he sings very well too!

Ok, Yixin, I hope I’ll get to hear this from the emcee..

"Best Local Music Composition goes to Jie Shou by Lin Yi Xin"

I like the song a lot, as the tune n lyrics match so well and it’s sung by Jingru, my fav female singer n of course, composed by my fav guy from DFM…Ah…counting down to the awards, 16 more days.

It’s 2.30am in the morning. What the heck am I doing up? I am so slepy but I just wanna vent a bit of frustration. This blog is slowly becoming my emotion diary, where I write all my happiness, anger, frustration n thots. Just came back from a bbq buffet+ktv session with Dor n hubby, Hong, Jac, Haz and some of their frenz, Michelle, F n M (Guys).

The buffet was good, but I gotta limit myself haha..cannot eat too much. Calories..why did God invent them? SIGH..OK, So everythg was going on fine, till one of their frenz M decided to tell me that "HEY, Your voice is gd, but we need to hear the others sing". That got to me and made me real P*SSED with him. We haven’t sung that many songs yet, n I happened to be the first to choose the songs, so of course there was a couple of songs, with a few more in between chosen by others.

Then after me, Jac was choosing a whole load of songs inviting those who know the song to sing. So when no one wanted, I took the mic. So, WHAT"S HIS PROB? I did egg a few of them on to sing, but no one wanted, even him, so COMPLAIN FOR WHATTTT?? I didn’t complain when he started smoking n smoking n POISONING MY AIR, KILLING ME, MAKING MY HAIR N CLOTHES SMELL. The way he said his words, is like wanna give people a slap, but inform u first that it is not yr fault, I just feel like doing it.

My regular ktv kakis – Fifi n gang will know that once ppl do that in the room, I will be very irritated n cover my breathing facilities with cloth or clothes to filter the POISONOUS smoke in front of these people, whether they are my friends or not. I already gave him enuf face by not doing anything. After his remarks, all I did was a bit of nose pinching exercise n complain outside to Haz that my hair is smelling like shit. Anyway, to show my irritation, I decided to ignore everyone, shut up n play some games on my HP n Hong noticed it. SMSed me to stop playing. Then what? The next best thing I can think of is to go HOME. Another guy F noticed the change of mood n tried to lighten up by requesting us for some light hearted songs. But obviously, that didn’t help much, coz I was still feeling that this is the WORST KTV session ever.

I really feel irritated at some type of guys I see, who does not have respect for others, esp towards gals..that M was just this kind of guy. Tried to hit on Hong since we walked into the ktv and she thinks he is just asking abt her job. Think u not been out enuf, gal…

Even as we were going off, he just walked out whereas F was opening the door for all of us to walk out n walking behind us to make sure everyone’s there. That M, just walked off like nobody’s biz n didn’t even offer to help Michelle when she opened the main exit door. That is so ungentlemanly of this M. F left a good impression as a mature gentleman and that contrast was so sharp..

Hai..enuf talk, me going to dreamzland for my Zzzs..gotta get up early for meeting my FC ppl. Hope they all turn up. Ciao…

Some people have brains but dunno how to use them.. I dun get it, I JUST DON”T GET IT! What’s wrong with these management people in my office? Their brains are SIMPLY disabled to the simpler tasks in the office.

The Dir can call me from a meeting room to call this manager to attend a meeting, but he cannot call the manager directly to come for the meeting. Isn’t it the same? Everyone’s extension is 4 numbers, not that every phone has a speed-dial for my number, right?

Then there was this stupid NH again. There is a tiny tiny little hole in the corridor (our office on raised platforms) outside his cubicle and he is worried that people will trip over it. It is a hole made by a ladies’ heel, how big can it be to cause people to TRIP?? Dummy….and he can walk over to me and tell me to call up the Facilities people to repair it. Can’t he do that himself??

Yesterday there was one manager who just called me to ask who is in charge of the lighting coz his was out. Then he made the call himself. So what is wrong with this guy who is JUST a senior principal engr? I feel so tempted to ask him “Is this my responsibility? I am not an AA, I am SOX administrator!! Calling Facilities for odd jobs is NOT in my job scope!!” Maybe I should just complain to HR again.. *+#^&%@~&*^

SICK..SICK and getting more SICK & TIRED of this stupid job….3 more mths to go before my misery ENDS…

Hey…it’s me again. I hope I don’t bother anyone with the notification emails of my blog haha..someone was asking me why I haven’t updated my blog for some time. Well, to answer that, I was busy with my David Tao FC. Getting the orders for tickets for the concert, planning for the members’ gathering, negotiating with supplier for t-shirts, placing orders, collecting the $$ , keeping track of progress of our website building, contacting the record company and concert organizer company, updating the latest news and answering queries at the davidtao forum/fanclub forum/ fan’s blog..

Yup..that about covers what I am mostly bz with. SIGH…SO BZ.and our progress not so steady with a rival group vying for the best seats and badmouthing us implicitly in their emails. Really wish I can work well with them, but there’s a lot of undercurrent n suspicion going on.

Then there is the website that my bro is working on. I just saw his opening page few days ago, which was very good. Liked it a lot, but I wish he can speed up n complete by next week, because this thing has been asked by EMI so many times. “When are we getting to see the website?” I asked them for allowance of 1 more week..but I dunno if my bro can come up with the site? At least a few pages and get it up and running will do…we just need to provide a link to David’s official site. Kor, if you are reading this, pls pls pls do it fast!! Help me find somewhere that can give me a free domain..”zhexian.com” will be nice…wonder where u set up your online store..

The FC was something that I started from nothing. Looking at where it is today, I’m just amazed at how much we have gone through. God does bless this FC in that we managed to get official in a few mths’ time and I have a wonderful, crazy and fun committee who shares the same hope and vision for the FC and are willing to work towards them, no matter how tough it looks. Always asked Him to bless this effort I have done, to thrive. It’s a difficult path but a very satisfying one. Personally, I feel that I’ve grown a lot from this experience. It’s tiring but all worth it!
