i'm left with last episode of sky of love, another touching japanese drama, but i still think 1 liter of tears is the saddest :( :( and i'm feeling quite mad because there isn't any last episode of the drama uploaded online?! someone please find it for me, i hate watching drama halfway and cant continue. damn it damn it. anyway, cried a little during work when hiro contracted cancer. :( why is all good people so short-lived :( :( :(
hello! finally it's saturday again. been slogging at work from early morning till late afternoon everyday for the past week. i'm so exhausted everyday until i can just fall asleep at 8pm plus. if it weren't for that tempting 10 bucks per hour, i doubt i'ld be able to hang on till today. think of it another way, a blessing in disguise since i no longer have insominia ever night. the most honorable accomplisments were the movies that i finished watching despite having to pause the movie every few mins to answer phone calls. they include wall-e, mummy, and my sassy girl!
anyway i just realised not too long that i've a DPS (Dependent Protection Scheme) and it's under great eastern! (if ever i die or when i become physically or mentally incapacitated, someone please inform my parents to claim S$46k from GE) Mum was quite shocked when i remind her one day after work that if anything happen to me, she must remember to call GE customer service hotline and ask for a claim form. haha! A results of studying too much about insurance, and hearing so much mishaps that happen to people everyday. i was so excited when i entered my nric into the system and saw my details there. Not taking too long, i realised that $36 bucks was deducted through my CPF ordinary account w'out my permission, and no renewal letter was sent to me to inform that i have this policy! Like what customers always call up to complain to us' how can you deduct the amount w'out my approval and w'out me knowing that i've this policy in the first place?!' where in the first place the admin department did sent out every year, but for some reasons, most of them didn't received. oh yeah, karma.
also, there's something i'm really afraid during calls. especially when old people, who's not under our company, wanna purchase eldershield from us. There was once this elderly who called, and ask me what's the premium was if he wanna buy eldershield at his age. If you ever talked to very old people on the phone, you might realised that their voice sounded quite rugged when they talk, and i can't differentiate whether they are male or female, the most horrible thing is that the premium rates for male and female is different, that's why i have to get their gender right. Then i was like 'hmm.. are you a guy or a girl?'. the rest overheard my conversations and burst out laughing. i got influenced and started laughing ridiculously too, the poor old man must have thought that he had accidentally dialed some swindler hotline. luckily that old man was very nice, he was calming me down and asking me to relax when he overheard me laughing.
remember i mentioned about watching 1 liter of tears in the previous entry? i finished watching the entire drama in 2 days several weeks ago. and i watched it all over again today since early morning, and i'm already halfway through the drama! watched it seriously! it's probably the most touching drama ever, and i think i cried more than 1 liter of tears. mummy watched with me and she was crying too haha!
one of my favorite scene :)
p.s the male lead gave me a sense of familarity. think about it.
it was a memorable day when i finally turned 18 yesterday :) thanks to all the lovely peeps who made it to celebrate with me, thanks for those efforts and surprises. and thanks to all my darlings who wished me through sms, friendster comments, or tag, or wished me personally. :)
i'm going to pen down as much details as possible to mark on this special day in my life where the girls had specially planned everything for me. cabbed to kbox @ ehub early afternoon with weiting, eileen and chanya. then teckjun joined us afterwards.
thanks photographer teckjun for me and eileen. i think i was a little fussy when he unheedfully snapped unbeauteous expression of us when we were concentrating in singing. hahaha. but i've tried my best to filter out the nicest photos so just bear with it :)
then dinner at BBQ chicken. weiting told me that she needed the atm, and she bought vanessa and shuwan here! surprised! i was taken in that they wouldn't be coming, and was still a quite disappointed. recommended them the korean version of ice kachang, and requested one of the staff there, whom we made friends with, to specially prepare a bigger serving for us. and they charged us for the same price. :)
our new friend, and the 'chicken joke' arising from some misproounciations of someone's name, which send all of us laughing. and he passed us a small piece of paper with his hp number and msn to send him the photos LOL.
this was supposedly a 2nd surprise. but the manager was quite blockheaded, haha! he went over to our table after the desert and ask 'so when you all want the cake to be served?' lol! and i can also see from where i'm sitting, a bunch of staffs gathering at a corner to light up all the candles. haha! oh yea i didn't say about how the first surprise was revealed. weiting was telling me the gift was shared by all the girls. and eileen was like 'huh what gift?' and weiting went ' aiyo! the biki... opps' HAHA! but i was very touched still! brought the cake, shook my hand. and then sang the birthday song. :) alright i almost cried. hahaha! this is damn unglam!!because i wanna mention about the relightable candles which doesnt go off even after blowing for several minutes. otherwise i'm not gonna post that! and the last candle was finally put off by splashing some water over it.
offered the cake to two of the managers, and few of the staffs. and the staffs in the kitchen were clapping whenever i walked past to pass the cake. lol! damn friendly can! till i was a little embarrassed! haha!
after dinner, weilong drove us back to my home, and bought a bottle of redwine to celebrate the last few hours of that special day! was a little frightened on the journey cos he attemtped to drift his car where half the other side of the road were occupied with cars. lol! eileen and weiting stayed overnight to accompany me for the entire of my birthday ! :)
and i've made a very simple wish this year. instead of wishing for a saccharine-sweet fairy-tale, wishing to be the fairest lady of all, or wishing to loose a couple of weights, i wished that all my loved ones would be very happy, and most important of all, stay healthy. maybe watching 1 liter of tears had influenced me quite a lot. I think that for too much of my life, i had wish for things that i couldn't have, and couldn't accept it gracefully, and i wasn't able to make give this gift to myself. I've been the kind of person who's always looking at what i don't do well enough, or the things in which i haven't accomplished, instead of the things that i have accomplished. It's been an emotional turmoil for me for the past 1 year, to finally be old enough to realised that i could have look at things in another way, and realise they really are the things which i could have, that they are actually gifts, that are available to be, and that i can accept them.
once again, thanks all. :)
p.s / if you realised, i have curly hair in the photos above!
