The happy one leaving..

Well.. the happy one in my office is leaving for Tokyo tonight instead of Sunday.. he actually wanted to like leave on Sunday night instead, but then he and his partner felt that they could do some sightseeing on their own, hence, both of them are flying there and staying at their own expense.. I sometimes really envy him.. He only join the company 9 mths and yet, he get to go so far.. Tokyo you koe.. not Thailand, Taiwan or Malaysia ok!.. haix.. So you say should I envy or not loh! haix =( Even if I travel, the furthest would be Taiwan.. unless I got special project and all.. haix.. we shall see how lah!
When the happy one is gone, the lab becomes really solemn and quiet again.. haix..

End of the year, I tot of bringing my parents to HK for holiday, but depends on whether got money or not lah.. haix.. not cheap ok.. see how lah..

Just came back from the movie outing with PK & Maween.. we watched Indiana Jones 4.. well.. all I can say is that its so so only.. its just over-rated lah.. the action is those really Indiana Jones kind of action.. nothing mind-blowing.. so if you call me to compare whether its Narnia or Indiana Jones, I would choose Narnia anytime man! =)

Then went to website and surf, and realised that the movie, The Mummy, is coming back again in 25 July 2008.. I love this show lah.. this is the show which got me all interested in Eygptian history! oh man.. this show I must catch! Any kakkis want to watch with me? Tag me! =)

Ok lah.. I'm sleepy liaox.. I almost fell asleep in the cinema lah.. too comfortable and the pace of the movie was a bit slow lah.. Tired.. eyes closing..

The quiet lab atmosphere starts again,

Do you believe in insurance?

Well today, believe it or not, I've actually signed up for insurance and bought it from my buddy, Marcus. He has successfully convinced me and I told him straight that if he ever quit (though he said he wont!) the insurance company, I will stop my policy. He is fine with it.. so ya..

You may then ask me why I suddenly believed in insurance? The reason is simple. There are 3 reasons..

(a) First things first, the insurance package that was offered to me is quite an all-rounded package..

(b) Next reason is that the insurance that was offered to me of course its at a cost, but its not what I can't pay, but its that I need to cut down on my monthly expenditure. I've been spending too much to the point that I'm not even saving part of it for my future car! So ya.. I actually took like close to 2 hrs to decide (or at least hear him talk) whether I have the sufficient funds every mth to support the premium and do I really need insurance? The reason why I think so much is becos when I don't have enough money to splurge on luxuries, I get stressed.. especially, I actually plan to air-condition the 3 bedrooms in my house (becos my parents simply don't have the cash to do so), give them a yearly holiday (to places like HK, Aust, NZ, etc), and also saving up for my car.. so you see.. now its like I have to choose between these luxuries and my insurance.. I took very long to come to terms with this and decided that I shall put these luxuries aside first and buy up the insurance, in the event really something happen to me and my parents don't have the spare cash to do so!

(c) Last but not least, I want to support him lah.. my buddy leh.. but its not an obligation.. I can support him in other ways but I'm confident to say that I take up this insurance is not mainly to support him, but for my own protection.

So ya.. Now, I'm a believer in insurance or so I hope? haix.. monthly spending allowance down =(

The badminton game!

Hey peepz.. today's badminton game after work is not bad.. at least I didn't tire that easily, becos my opponent or rather opponents actually didnt play "high ball", so not so shiong.. =)

And today's turnout at badminton was significantly quite impressive.. 8 to be exact.. usually, its only 3-4.. the most, 5.. so ya.. the newbies in the company join that's why..

Played against two newbies and man.. they are good.. I think at the rate I'm going, I'm going to like lose in the badminton CCG (Corporate Community Games) competition (ie, if I'm joining, becos according to Warren, he said no names submitted up yet but he has a list of 7 ppl liaox (but whether they can make it is another matter becos they may have offical commitments and all), and they only need 1 more reserve to make a team of 8.. No doubt I would love to join, but at the expense of the team's reputation, haix.. I want to join but haix.. see how lah.. who koes I may get in leh? haix..) =(.. I'm sure that they want the best ppl to join the competition.. haix.. =(.. I don't even koe the full rules of the game and all lahx.. =(.. sad leh.. felt so disappointed and lousy after today's game, and I think I stand a very low chance of joining the competition loh.. =(.. haix.. this is the problem with me.. I set very high standards for myself and because I'm a perfectionist, I would really want to excel, so unknowingly, I actually add pressure to myself and sometimes, it may hinder my performace.. but I really want to join.. =(

Oh well.. ok then.. I have ranted and blog my true feelings liaox.. feel much better becos I can't possibly talk all these to Warren, or else he feel I very "gian".. lousy but still want to join.. so ya.. I'm sure he will really want the best to join the competition and judging by my performance yesterday, I don't think I stand a high chance lah.. haix.. =(

Ok lah.. gtg liaox and do my other work.. lotsa to achieve tonite as well..

Am I fit enough for badminton CCG?,

The headache started again!

Fwah! I don't know whether is it the computer radiation or its simply I'm thinking too much until I stress! The terrible migraine just came back on and off.. The worst was when I finished work.. my goodness!!

Today work was ok.. tml and the days after, I would be busy man.. though boss on urgent business trip, but I think she expects me to do some stuff.. so have to give her results when she is back in office on monday loh! =).. so ya..

Other than that, nothing else to blog lah.. tml badminton loh.. =).. exercise time.. and I get to use my Adidas shoebag tml! Yeh! =)

Headache go away,
<<< abriel >>>

Bogged by paperwork!

Fwah! Not only today did I suffer from Monday blues, but also I'm bogged down by paperwork in office today..

Suddenly got so much paperwork to do.. and I did experience a terrible headache once near lunchtime.. am suspecting that I had too much caffeine either yesterday (had a cup of coffee in the morning, and a double expresso in the afternoon) and then this morning, had a cup of coffee before I came to work.. so ya.. not too sure whether is it that, or simply becos I'm like used too much brain cells (becos suddenly I can remember everything WITHOUT writing it down! That is amazing lah! I usually get short-term memory one!).. so ya.. or it could simply becos I'm staring too long in front of the computer.. so ya... my goodness..

Then I continued doing my various paperwork like almost near 1800 hrs, and was planning to like leave soon liaox.. until one of my colleagues from main office called and I have to entertain that call.. so ya.. work stuff.. so by the time I'm done, its like abt 1845 hrs liaox.. then one of the managers (who worked in the same workplace with me and stays opp. me nia) gave me a lift home as she is also going home.. so ya.. so sweet rite =)

Then watched a bit of TV and then started to do some of my own stuff online (I've got tons of things to settle and I have not even started 20% of it.. oh man!).. the main stinging issue would be my church camp worship sets (need to change chords and re-type and all), and also my worship set for Father Day's service.. oh man.. I'm gonna be so busy and wonder what time would I sleep.. =(

Ok.. gtg lioax.. If I don't leave now, I will never.. gtg and do other stuff..

Busy, busy,

Adidas is included in GSS 2008 Sale! (30% + 10% discount)

** Photo on left: My damage for the day!

Woke up at 0630 hrs this morning, and started my jogging regime at 0700 hrs around my neighbourhood, and I'm actually very impressed with the weather.. hahax.. its cloudy and at times windy.. nice weather to jog in.. but I think its either me or my mind.. I kept thinking of giving up, but I actually pushed myself.. so ya.. I'm glad that it helped lah! =)

After my jog, came home and eat breakfast, then went to Vivocity with family for grooming my dog's fur.. she looks nice and pretty now.. ha.. Director and award-winning dog's hairstylist groom her leh.. not nice also nice lah! =)

Then after 3 hrs at Vivocity (ya.. her cutting session is 3 solid hrs!), came home, put her down, and its my family and I going for our GSS rush liaox! Ha.. my parents and sis was not really enthu.. I was the only one, and moreover, I love crowds, so I don't mind the shopping crowd at Orchard lah! =)

We all felt sleepy, so my dad gave my family a teatime treat at Ah Teng's Bakery @ Raffles Hotel and ya.. the cakes were nice =).. and I had a double expresso.. and man oh man.. that was the limit! I drink it since like 3pm in the afternoon, and until now as I publishing this post (close to 12 midnight liaox!), I still don't really feel sleepy ok! Man.. the coffee really potent lah!
I don't know why.. As I age, my body is very susceptible to caffeine.. once drink a lot, I can't sleep liaox.. I would be awake for most of the time! Oh man..
So that double expresso practically made my shopping trip more fruitful!

So as suggested in this blogpost title, I did engage in some really serious shopping, since its the start of GSS (Great Singapore Sale).. and what a way to start my GSS shopping at Suntec City followed by Orchard =)

I actually did only a minor part of the region.. have yet to explore the rest of Suntec City (as I only went to Adidas shop!).. and man.. once I'm in there, I cldn't come out.. there were so many things to buy inside lah! What I wanted to buy were all on sale! Ha.. they were on 30% discount somemore! =).. (of course, this 30% discount is given, becos its like the colour of the clothing that ppl don't really wear becos its an unpopular colour, but who cares! I find it nice and actually think that it can match with my jeans/berms can liaox.. =)
I actually wanted to get white, but then becos its a running top (both singlet and t-shirt), the material is very thin, and hence, if I sweat, being a white material, its a bit transparent.. so ya.. didn't choose it.. =)
Because I use my Citibank card and pay, I actually get an additional 10% off the discounted 30% price! What a steal huh! =)

Here is a breakdown of the stuff bought at Adidas:
- Adidas RSP S/S Tee: UP - $45, Now (after 30% Adidas discount + 10% Citibank card discount) - $28.35
- Adidas RSP Singlet: UP - $35, Now (after 30% Adidas discount + 10% Citibank card discount) - $22.05
- Adidas Shoebag: UP: $19, Now (after 10% Citibank card discount) - $17.10

So you see.. I have saved like a total of a whopping $31.50!! If these items were not on sale, it would have cost me $99! So you see.. Man.. Now I can't get enuf of Adidas products! I think now, when I go to shopping centres during the GSS Sales, I would not fail to like step into another Adidas shop, becos its like super cheap lah.. even though no 30% discount, at least I still can get the 10% discount (becos I would be paying by my Citibank card anyway), becos its like how often Adidas actually gives such wonderful discounts to consumers? =).. oh man.. I'm now feeling like so excited lah! =).. Confirm I would be stocking up at least 1-2 more tees/products from Adidas this GSS! =)

What also hightens today experience was that I saw 2 of my current working colleagues in Adidas.. and the best, all 3 of us knew each other (with one colleague who is sitting in front of me.. and he is the one who actually called me.. then the other colleague suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and man, we 3 met! we 3 chat for a while, and then 3 of us were suddenly discussing whether to buy what Adidas items.. ha..).. so it was really coincidental..

My GSS items still have 1-2 more things yet to achieve. I would want to get a crocs slippers and probably another pair of jeans, becos I realised that my jeans are like I kept wearing the same one every week, so a bit sianx liaox.. must have variety.. my tops are also like almost every other day always wear the same.. ha.. see I must buy more clothings liaox.. but slowly lah.. the more impt ones to buy this GSS would be a pair of jeans and probably my crocs slippers or maybe some simple casual tops.

** Photo on right: My Espirit HongKong shirts =)

Oh.. my church friend, Christina, has just came back from Hongkong (she was on business trip, so its like I asked her to buy for me some tops from Espirit in HongKong, and she did lah! Fwah! I tell you.. the tops were super nice, and wats best abt it is actually, the season of the t-shirts are NOT in Singapore yet as Espirit in Singapore is 2 seasons BEHIND Espirit HongKong!.. so ya.. I get exclusive wear.. and wats even best is that it is HALF price of what it is sold in Singapore, which means to say, a typical shirt that she has helped me buy can cost easily SGD$39.90 - $49.90, but I only got mine like only SGD$23 - $30 max! Cool rite? When I visit HongKong someday, I'm going to shop in Espirit lah! =)

After Adidas shopping, gave my family a sort-of dinner treat at Sushi Tei Paragon, becos I got a $10 Sushi Tei voucher from my company's bowling lucky draw mah! =).. so ya.. had a great time with the food at Sushi Tei lah! =)

Then proceeded to Aussino to buy a bedsheet which I have take a liking for.. ha.. it was $35! too bad no discount.. so ya.. I bought another set of pillowcase to match with it (becos I've got 2 pillows rather than 1!).. so ya.. that set of pillowcase costs me $4.90 for a pair.. so my bedsheet set altogether costs $39.90, and I must say its a good buy, becos Aussino products are very comfortable.. in fact, I'm sleeping on a Aussino badsheet now! Super comfortable! =).. 100% cotton.. what you expect rite! =)

Well.. and as I was coming home from Orchard, I saw a tagline which I felt it was very smart of the construction company to come up with such a slogan to tell ppl that the area is under some works of sort!).. see the tagline either on the nick of my MSN or my ending blogpost sentence (just before I sign off!)..

Ya ok.. I'm now feeling sleepy! Tml need to work liaox.. haix.. a 5 day work week rather than 4 day work week.. haix.. oh well..

Chance meeting with an old Secondary school friend!

Hey peepz! Its the weekend... =)

This morning the Starhub staff came to install my cable TV.. and I must say its very easy to navigate.. currently, am able to view ALL channels (even those I didnt subscribe, becos its the weekend and Starhub has not configure my cable box yet! They would only do it on Monday..)..
But all I can say is that I'm very happy with my cable TV! =).. lotsa programs to watch and more reasons to stay at home to rot and watch the interesting programmes on screen! =)

After the installation, I proceeded over to Tampines Sports Hall to restring my badminton racquet and got a new badminton racquet grip. It costs me $17 in total.. Quite ok lah.. the store owner there very friendly.. he was telling me like "this one can already. can save, save.. don't need to get so expensive one!".. fwah.. this is what I call an honest shop owner! Nowadays, where you see shop owners telling you this? Of course, when I went in there to like asking him what strings should I buy for my racquet, he recommended me a specific one based on the badminton racquet that I'm currently holding.. so ya.. Very honest chap! I will definately go back there for my badminton needs, though its quite a distance away =(
Waited for like 20 mins for my racquet to be restring, and then, I saw another badminton shop at Telepark (the building opp. Tampines Sports' Hall) whereby they sell Sintec stuff, and I knew that Warren, my buddy colleague, is looking for this brand of shuttlecocks, so I msg him abt it lah, and we chatted briefly via SMS loh.. so ya..
Came home after that by cab becos its like I'm almost running late for church.. so ya.. it costs a hefty $11.80 though.. haix.. sianx.. =(

Anyway, today church was fine.. we went to Marina Square foodcourt to eat dinner loh, and man oh man.. I actually saw one of my buddy classmates when I was in Secondary school.. he is none other than Donny Tan..

It was actually only that I added him in Facebook (through I forgot who liaox) just about 2-3 days ago, and was viewing his profile and view some of his pics just this morning, and its so freaky lah.. nite time I meet him.. ha.. and I got to know that he is actually a regular, becos he signed a bond with SAF.. so ya.. but can lah.. he so fit.. no problem one.. he officer somemore.. so what you expect! =)

Had my weekly dose of Starbucks after that, and then came home, and blog this blogpost.. Got to go and sleep liaox.. tml morning waking up early to jog.. I need to jog.. I'm getting FAT!! I can't have such an image in my current company.. I need to practice what I preach, so I need to keep fit and exercise on a regular basis! =)

Need to sleep liaox.. Ciaox peepz!!

The bowling saga!

** Photo on left: My bowling team: Triple Jam (from L-R: Me, Joseph, May Ling)

Well peepz.. I had a whale of a time at bowling today! Ha.. my peak game was my second game, where I had alternate strikes after like countless tries, but too bad I did not have any 3 consecutive strikes, or else I would have won $50 cash liaox.. haix =(

** Photo on right: Lane 11 & 12 players!

Anyway, did what I needed to.. I just did my best.. and of course in the process, I did encourage a few ppl, and particularly this one person.. ha.. Ok peepz.. don't guess.. its a SHE ok! ha.. =)
She actually peaked at her third game, and her scores when added up, it should be more than my score liaox.. I purposely one.. *tsk tsk*.. kidding lah.. Hers is beginner's luck lah (or maybe its not?).. ha.. You should have see her face glowing especially near the end of the last game, becos she managed to have a strike; its like one in a million chance that she did a strike lah.. hahax.. =).. but she happy good liaox lah.. at least my encouragement helped her a bit, becos before the game, she was already putting herself down.. but oh well, she is "unequal yolk".. haix.. saddening =(.. but at least I've gained a friend, though I wish it could be more than that =(

** Photo on left: My bowling team, Triple Jam, got lucky, as we won in the team lucky draw, a $30 Sushi Tei voucher, and the person who presented us the prize (and in this photo) is the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer =)

Anyway, though my bowling session was a flop (becos I did NOT even hit a score of more than 100 in any of the 3 games!! My max today is only 91 pins.. sianx!), my bowling team was quite fortunate in a sense that we won in a lucky draw.. each of us won a $10 Sushi Tei Dining Voucher! Cool huh! So at least better than nothing loh! =)

Then came home.. then go to internet and sign up for Starhub Cable.. ha.. wanted to get this very long liaox, but didnt due to no good promotion.. now promotion is $100 off subscription for a year (which works out abt rebate of $8.40/mth discount on subscription.. so find it quite worth it loh!), but after confirming and all, realised that I have to pay quite a fair bit (as in delivery charge, etc.. Gonna wait for the salesperson to call, then I see how things are.. Can't cancel, but maybe some stuff I don't need to pay?.. so ya..) After which, I'm blog this blogpost liaox and its late.. very late.. need to wake up like 6 hrs time to go to work, but never mind.. the weekend is near!!

** Photo on right: The supporters and participants of the Annual Bowling Competition 2008!! Can you spot me? If so, then near me, you can spot Warren liaox.. he is on my left !!

Oh.. today is also the day where I actually have signed up for KrisFlyer membership.. this is because I have been hearing so much from my colleagues, and since its free, why not.. ha.. I would be flying by SQ to places for work in future, so why don't I take the chance to like sign up for my membership now, so that I would be able to clock mileage in my future travels and who koes, I may earn myself a free holiday ticket.. hahax.. =)

Weekend I've got quite a fair bit to do.. My personal Sunday morning run as well as also re-stringing my badminton racquet somewhere in Tampines.. super far.. haix.. but oh well.. Weekends are good! =)

Can you smell the weekend yet?,

Badminton session.. SHIOK!

Well peepz.. my first exercise in the week, and I must say its very fruitful! =)

Today not much ppl at badminton session, so naturally have to play more loh.. and ya.. I think I have burnt enough calories which was put on during lunch today, where I ate 5 pieces of pizza (becos my big boss give treat..).. Hold on your horses before you scold me greedy! I actually only ate 3 pcs, but then the girls in the office said I should eat 4 pcs.. so I ate.. then the last piece, my big boss call me to eat, I can say no meh..
After which, I cldn't move lah.. and from 1pm-5pm, I was still so full.. doubt the pizzas have digested so fast in my stomach!

But the badminton session really help me to shed some weight lah.. so ya..

Wanted to play with Warren in the badminton session but no time.. never mind.. next time I will play against him! =)

Came home and then ate dinner then now this blogpost loh!

Tommorrow is bowling competition, so hope I can perform well and hope no aches by then.. let me see whether I can do a Turkey Strike or be a champion team or sumthing lah.. ha.. Chances are slim but not impossible! Ha.. =)

Ok.. gtg liaox.. now experiencing a bit of aches liaox.. oh no...

"Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" rox!

Oh boy oh boy! The second installment of "Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian" really live up to my expectations!
I was actually only like didnt expect much, since most sequels are always degrading its storyline as the story develops. But this movie is different! Its worth EVERY cent! I can boldly say that this movie is even BETTER than its first installment.. and for those who are worried to like having a cliffhanger on its ending, don't worry! There is a ending for this.. so ya.. I'm happy becos I hate shows with no endings and leave ppl to guess! =)

Anyway, I have to say my special thanks to my bro, Alvin, for this FREE ticket (its a GALA PREMIERE ticket, which means that only this special group of ppl have the privilege to view the movie 2 wks before its official release in Singapore, ie, 29/5/08!.. this bro of mine won it at a mrbrownshow.com contest lah! Lucky him huh)! It was indeed a blessing! So ya..

Met him after my church camp final mtg at church, then proceeded to Suntec to meet him at Eng Wah Cinemas.. and boy oh boy.. it was a looonnnggg queue lah, and Alvin was like fifth to sixth in the queue. Ha.. so Alvin is kiasu too, but in a good way lah! =)

Then the most kiasu part came like once we collected our tix, we proceeded to the entrance of the cinema theatres and waited to be admitted. The wait was like about 15-20 mins, and we were THIRD in line.. ha.. kiasu huh.. but kiasu is good, becos we went all the way to the back of the cinema and got the couch seats.. ha.. and machiam like we were like getting GV gold class seats but Eng Wah standard (complete with a small coffee table to put our drinks and lots of leg-room and in the privacy of a corner!).. We were so cozy in our corner that you see, I was actually sitting cross-legged barefooted on the couch, machiam like my home like that! Ha.. It was so comfortable lah!!

Anyway, after watching the movie, all I can say is that I can't wait for the third installment liaox! I'm serious!

After that, came home, had dinner.. watched a bit of TV and now on this blogpost loh! =)

Ok.. gtg and sleep liaox.. lotsa things to settle after this blogpost.. oh man.. 24 hrs dun seemed enough for me!

Narnia III, I'm waiting for you!,

The beach affair!

I've got real OBVIOUS tanlines on my bod! My goodness! It's been a llooonnnggg time since I've been to the beach (after my Bintan trip last December actually!).. and today was my first this year! =)

Today's outing at the beach is not like a fun thing.. its actually part of my church's youth group (called Generation Joshua) initiative in organising a Sports Fiesta! And what a great way to hold it in Sentosa! =).. Special thanks to PK for being the main organiser! =)

** Photo on left: Me, Rachel & Alvin on Sentosa Monorail.

Yesterday came home from church like quite early (considered on average, Saturdays I reach home at about 12am becos of Starbucks, but yesterday I didnt!)..

However, did not sleep early though, becos its like I can't sleep lahx! So I slept late yesterday nite, and woke up early this morning loh!

** Photo on right: The imba peacock photo that PK took with my camera!

Woke up like at about 0545 hrs (which I actually only had abt 5-6 hrs of winks!..).. woke up feeling tired and fatigue.. dun koe why..

Had Macs for breakfast, and its bathing and change into my beach wear and all, and then, left house then take NEL to HarbourFront.. I tell you.. machiam like I'm going for work everyday lah! I'm not kidding!

** Photo on left: Alvin, Me & PK getting ready for Beach Volleyball!

Met PK, Alvin & Rachel @ Vivocity, becos we are taking the monorail in.. No one was at the entrance lah..

So we each bought a monorail ticket and low and behold, ppl were already waiting for the monorail.. my goodness.. and we thought we are the earliest!

We waited for the monorail for like abt 10 mins, but the brazillian samba music is cool.. we had that like surround sound at the station! =)

** Photo on right: Let the Beach Volleyball battle begin!

We reached the station and the beach was like ghost-town! Not many ppl were there.. becos by the time we reached there, it was only like 0820 hrs.. too early for anyone to be in Sentosa..

And guess wat.. I saw one man who is dead drunk and sleeping in front of some bench or sumthing.. as usual lah.. must be after the Saturday's partying, but its such a disgusting sight lah!

Then I've found the way to Palawan Beach (our mtg place).. so we walked towards that direction, and we saw a peacock, so that's why Alvin (our official GJ photographer) has to use my camera to take a photo of it!

** Photo on left: The Palawan Beach sign (Taken by Photographer King Alvin!)

We've reached the beach and we put our things down, and man, the volleyball court was empty! Ha.. so we have the court to ourselves.. that is the reason why we actually go there so early! Kiasu but clever rite =P

Then we settled down and 4 of us (Rachel, PK, Alvin & myself) played volleyball.. Sebastian then came and then join us for a while..

One by one, our ppl came, and the Sentosa crowd just starts to set in! Not forgetting the unavoidable "sun-kissed" skin!

The afternoon went on.. with the sun scotching and yet, we still play beach volleyball! Ha.. We played frisbee as well.. quite fun!

** Photo on right: My most satisfied cam-whore pic so far! Cool huh! =)

I think I'm getting quite bad sun-burnt skin.. Tanlines are super obvious if I remove my top.. You can see the outline of my NUM singlet on my bod liaox.. I'm not complaining.. haha.. =)

Then today is one day which I really wear my sunglasses like almost the whole day! The sun was super glaring, and once I wear and if I take out, my eyes can't open.. so becos of my sunglasses, I have a slight sunglass tanline as well around my eyes.. but thank God not very obvious! =)

After Sentosa, all of us proceeded to Haagen Daz @ Vivocity to have some ice-cream, to cool down ourselves!.. And the ice-cream is gooooodddd BUT expensive.. so ya..

Then after that, came home and then ate dinner.. and then nap for abt 30 mins, before I started this blogpost!

Ok. I would need to go and sleep liaox.. tired.. need to wake up early tommorow to go to church camp mtg, followed by a "Chronicles of Narnia" movie outing with Alvin, as he got 2 free tickets to the event which he won lah.. So ya.. so sweet of him.. Alvin, thanks hor! =)

Overall, my weekend has been so so well-spend!! =)

Sentosa rocks,

Tired..

Well peepz.. I did sent the email to my HR afterall, after hrs of consideration whether I should pursue the matter.. I got a very strong conviction that I shld pursue no matter what..

I sent this morning, hut I have not receive any reply from them. Going to give them until max next tues (20/5) to reply me.. If they don't, then I will pester them again! I don't care so much liaox..

Today at work was ok.. it was research work again loh! So dress formal today to go to work, becos after work, it was a compulsory event thingy at Furama City Centre; a management & staff rally.. so ya.. just hear all the various ppl talk loh.. quite boring, but the part when the HR come out and talk, he is a total joker.. so ya.. at least not so boring for his part..

As with all Singaporean's style, after every function, there would confirm be food.. so ya.. today is no exception at all lah!.. Had food and at the same time, talk a while to Cheong & Warren.. so ya.. quite a good way to end the day.. then one of the managers (same working place but somewhat different dept) gave me a lift home in her car, as she just stay opp. me only! Ha.. what a small world huh! =)

Then came home, ate dinner and watch a bit of TV and now typing this blogpost loh.. dun koe why these few days very tired.. in fact, as I'm typing this blogpost, I was like want to close my eyes liaox! oh man.. getting old..

Think I should get some winks soon,

Bowling was FUN!

Well.. despite my angriness, I still went ahead with my company's practice & fun bowling session.

Had met 2 new intern colleagues and spoke to some of the big shots and fellow colleagues.. ha..

My first game I scored 104 pins (with 2 strikes consecutively!), but the second game, I only scored 86 pins (with only 1 strike in the beginning!).. ha.. it must be that I didn't eat anything and stomach getting empty!)

And of course, saw Cheong.. catch up with him for a while.. and also, one of my buddy colleagues, Warren, whom he and I chatted like old friends and at times, make fun of me.. Ha.. he is the one whom I was talking earlier in my earlier posts of how he and I have an age gap of an exact 12 yrs, and he is also the badminton organiser and all!.. but he and I always get along very well.. so at times, he is very cheeky.. and today, one of his cheeky jokes actually made me blush! My goodness..
But talking to him can just make your day already! =)

I was so tempted to tell my ex-company problems to Cheong, but I've decided to keep mum abt it.. didn't want him to remember about anything of the past! so ya..

That shld be all.. Now at home, typing this blogpost and starting to feel that my veins on my hands and thighs are starting to become tense and stiff, so need to stretch and all.

Ok lah.. eyes closing now..

Resting,
<<< abriel >>>

Very vexed and fustrated!

Well peepz.. The title says it all.. I'm totally disappointed.. in fact, if I can, I wanna report it to the authorities! I'm just a step away from reporting it!

What happen you don't want to koe (only 1 of my close friend koe abt it.. so ya). All I can say is that my ex-company's GM has pissed me off so much that if I can curse and swear at him, I will.. but I choose not to.. I'm just calling him a stupid old man!

All I can say is that I'm definately gonna pursue this matter, and if need be, I will report this to MOM (Ministry of Manpower). Of course, I don't want to make it until so tua zong, but if I don't get a satisfactory answer from them, I have no choice but to do the reporting. I'm not threatening them or what.. I just expect a satisfactory answer.

So now, the more the stupid old man don't want me to email, the more I want to challenge him. Tomorrow I'm gonna go and ask HR what is happening! I got hardcopy email proof! I'm going to scan and send over.

I can't simply put this matter down. I know I shld not take revenge and all, but this is really too much! I have worked for them so long and spend my 1.5 yrs of toiling and sweat to even do things which I actually don't need to do, and this is how they treat me? Oh man.. I shall then treat that I have spend my 1.5 yrs there for NOTHING!

They better give me a reply tomorrow, or else I don't know what will happen!

Argh,

THE meeting!

Well.. today's meeting was somewhat bittersweet, but nevertheless still funny lah..

The guy who I met, whose name is Marcus, is actually like a financial planner and of course as with all financial planners, he actually did a financial analysis for me.. ha.. I'm interested in taking up the plan with him (mainly to support him lah), but have to see my finances whether they allow.. Will see what he tries to offer lahx..

So ya.. but can see that he is very sincere about it.. unlike other financial planners whom I have met in the past.. so ya.. this is the way that I like.. they don't push you to buy their "products".. so ya..

Today at office stared at my computer the whole day until I was about to die of radiation liaox.. ha.. eyes and brain totally tired.. am working on a Safety SOP for submission loh.. No choice.. My boss didnt have the actual soft-copy, so I have to retype 95% of it from SCRATCH!.. and its a LOT lah.. thank God my partner (who is the one whom I told you that recently I have been cliquing with him and all becos of this!) actually offered to help me type another part tml, or else, I don't know when I would finish lahx.. hahax..

Ya.. so after my dinner and appt with Marcus, came home and now blog this blogpost loh.. tired liaox.. gonna sleep!.. tml is another day.. Looking forward for the bowling session in the evening! Yeh! =)

Bowling, here I come...,
<<< abriel >>>

A meeting to look forward to!

Heya.. Its me again.. ha.. I have been blogging quite faithfully huh!

First of all, let me shout out to my brother, Tjow, you have finished your exams liaox! FREEDOM! Now, the worst part is to cross your fingers and hope for the best! =).. Congrats bro!

Anyway, today received a weird call.. I almost wanted to like put down the phone.. I was super pissed off lah.. You should have see that look on my face.. but it turns out to be actually Marcus who was my once brother when I was briefly involved in crusade activites, and actually, he still is my brother =).. He played this stupid prank on me lah.. super horrible guy.. no wonder when I hear the voice, it sounds so familiar, but don't know who only.. haix..

Anyway, we've talk briefly, and we are going to have dinner tml (after abt a week of postponing!).. so ya.. gonna catch up with him tml.. am sure looking forward for the laughs that I'm gonna get from him tml =)

Ok lah.. its getting late.. I need to sleep liaox.. very tired.. I don't know why.. old already perhaps..

Looking forward for tml,

Shopping spree..

** Photo on right: The results of my shopping spree!! =)

Well ppl.. guess wat! I went on a shopping spree today again lah.. Have been spending way too much money since I've got my card.. hahax.. have been swiping like nobody's business man !! I always tell myself to control but it always seemed I can't leh.. haix.. =(

I'm temporarily putting my plans of owning a car on hold first as the cost of owning a car now is super expensive, especially with the petrol and COE prices reaching soaring prices..

I've made an aim.. Once I earn a gross income of $3000 and above, then I will consider.. Right now, I'm not even there yet, so I guess my mode of transport would still be public !.. =) Public transport means can allow me to spend more.. hahax.. kidding.. =)

Anyway, as you have seen the photo above, that is my damage today.. but I bought these things either they were too nice to resist or I actually need it.. Anyway, the following are the cost and details of my "damage":

(a) GAP Polo T-shirt : $59
Reason to buy: They were too nice to resist. Moreover, its super comfortable and they are 100% cotton. Also I'm wearing polo t-shirts to work currently, so this additional polo t-shirt would definately come in handy!

(b) A tie from G2000 : $24.50 (AFTER a 50% G2000 Birthday discount voucher!.. Normal price is $49)..
Reason to buy: Worth it huh? Got it for work of course.. =).. Told you I like ties and long sleeve shirt liaox =)

(c) A leather belt from Fossil : $58.00
Reason to buy: Apparently my current most casual belt is almost gone case, and my casual leather belt (after it has been with me for abt 7 yrs.. and its Giordano product ok! Dun play play ah..) actually has a tendency to turn mouldy after long periods of not wearing.. so ya.. Decide to buy this Fossil belt and thank God that this desired belt was after months and months of searching, and this Fossil belt is exactly wat I was looking for!
Actually, Timberland was the first place where I actually saw my dream belt, but the one I like is actually $110! *gulp*.. Then today at Gap, I saw another one.. very nice, but its $65 and they didnt have my size, so I didnt bother asking them to check other outlets.. and whilst shopping at other places, manage to find this loh.. Nice huh =)

(d) A long pants from G2000 : $34.50 (AFTER a 50% G2000 Birthday discount voucher!.. Normal price is $69)..
Reason to buy: Worth it huh? Got it for work of course.. =).. I might as well get it becos I would be using it quite often =)

TOTAL DAMAGE: $176.00

Actually, I'm so glad I am single (ie, don't have a girlfriend or wife for that matter), NO passion for gaming (be it computer, PSP, LAN or Wii) and clubbing.. All these actually can help save my money for my shopping needs/passion! Having one of the above will definately tighten my finances, judging by me not earning as much as you think I am!

As mentioned earlier, all I want is a personal vehicle of my own, to fetch friends and parents around.. but guess my friends or parents who actually yearns to sit my car and "test" my driving have to wait a wee bit longer, unless I turn into a multi-millionnaire overnight or strike lottery, but that is highly (and in fact!) IMPOSSIBLE! So its wishful thinking on my part.. But since I'm determined that I would get a vehicle of my own, I will surely make a point to get it, but its only a matter of when! =) So my dear friends, you have to wait ya =)

Actually I want to buy another 2 items, but I'm waiting for the Great Singapore Sale (GSS) then I buy.. Wanna see whether there is sale for it before I buy =).. even there is a discount of 10%, I will also buy =).. Anyway, the 2 items are:

(a) 2 pcs of Adidas singlet (for my weekly badminton sessions), but they are currently sold at $35 each.. a bit expensive.. so I've decided to wait for GSS =)

(b) 1 pc of Adidas shoe-bag (also for my weekly badminton sessions) and they currently range from $19 to $29; size about the same but design different. Will again wait for GSS to see how much they will drop! =)

Well.. that's shopping aside.. Today being Mother's Day, I gave my mum and dad a treat at my usual Chinese restaurant hangout, Pearl River Palace at Suntec.
The food was good.. apparently they've added to the current menu about 10 new dishes (just for Mother's Day), which explains it to be $38.80++ per pax rather than the normal $32.80++ per pax, but this is considered cheap liaox.. other restaurants or hotels can easily charge up to $60++ to $98++ per pax! So ya.. I dun have that kind of money to spend until so extravagent, so that's why.. but its good enough.. the meal came up to $145 after the taxes.. so ya.. Quite expensive for a 3 person meal, but its worth it.. It's Mother's Day afterall.. next stop would be Father's Day.. but don't know where.. have to scout loh.. maybe Trader Hotel buffet next? I don't know.. have to see how.. becos I would be celebrating my dad's birthday on the same day as well.. so ya.. see how lah!

Out of all the new dishes that I've tried today at Pearl River Palace, the one dish which I like most is the fried cereal prawn with salted egg. I tell you.. it is so fabulous and delicious, that I actually ordered a second plate! =).. the combination is simply perfect! They actually fry the prawns with probably some salted egg yolk batter, and then deep fry it together with the cereals.. so ya.. super high cholesterol but yummy.. Its so yummy that I actually feedback to the captain that they should actually consider replacing the current cereal prawn on their menu to this salted egg cereal prawn.. very shiok I tell you.. saying of which, I'm craving for it again! oh man..

And I think I have been to Pearl River Palace Restaurant enough times already for the current group of waiter and waitress recognising me! Ha.. today one of the waitress talk to me and ask me this time I came with family or friends.. hahax.. so you see, I think Pearl River Palace should award me with a VIP card.. hahax.. I actually did recommend and brought one of my NS friends to this restaurant, and man.. he was so impressed with the food served that he actually wanted to bring his mum to this place for Mother's Day dinner tonight, but whether he would be able to book the seats is another problem, becos' I think the restaurant is 95% full.. so ya.. shall ask him someday..

Oh well.. I've spent a LOT today, but felt that most of it were worth it lah! So I don't felt that I was shortchanged or anything like that loh! =)

Ok.. gtg and sleep liaox.. need to wake up early tml to work.. haix.. Am experiencing Monday blues already.. but oh well.. never mind.. Wednesday got bowling session.. Yeh! =)

Am looking forward to Wednesday nite for bowling, and shopping is FUN,
<<< abriel >>>

I have no choice..

Well ppl.. guess wat.. My boss and my colleagues now very "on" liaox.. they asked me at work whether I know how to sing.. don't know why my boss suddenly say this!..

The conversation goes on like this:

Boss: Abriel, you know to sing song or not?
Me: Erhh.. ya?

Boss: Good.. then this year, we nominate you for Company Idol loh. You go up and sing. You go up and you don't win, you get $50 as prize for consolation.
Me: kept quiet..

** Colleagues in the background.. all very excited.. there were laughter everywhere..

Boss: You know how to play guitar?
Me: (kept quiet)..

Boss: Keep quiet means you know.
Me: Ehh.. Guitar I don't know, piano I know.

Boss: Wah.. good loh..
Me: (smiles sheepishly in front of the computer)..

Colleague 1: Wah.. know how to play piano? Got girlfriend or not?
Me: No.

Colleague 1: Why?
Me: My expectation very high one.

Colleague 1: Of course. Know how to play piano, is a value-added character leh, so choose girlfriend also must have value-added character.
Me: Spot on!

Colleague 2: Ok. We do banners for you, and support you. (sound excited!)
Boss: Ya. After you play already, a lot of gals will come after you, machiam like honey! (sound excited!)
Me: (laughs)..

Boss: So you must join ah.. we nominate you! Set!
Me: huh...

Boss & colleagues both left the office for their work-life balance activities.

So you see.. they are already so enthusiatic already, I can say no meh? My boss specifically ask me leh.. don't know why she thought of it lah.. She said this is the "ritual" that every newbie in the company must go through! Ha.. Oh well.. we shall see when the day of the application form comes in.. see whether they still remember.. haha =)

Ok.. gtg liaox.. Need to turn in for the nite! Very tiring ok!.. I wake up tml still have to do my church stuff.. Never-ending man!

Would I embark on this Idol journey?,
<<< abriel >>>

A soon-to-be health nut!

I tell you.. ever since I have join this company, I realised that I have become healthier by the day..

You can say at work, I'm taking a daily dose of Vitamin C in the form of fruits or fruit juices! And its NOT only 1 or 2 days.. in fact, probably 4 out of 5 days or even all working days, I would be gulping down those doses of Vitamin C. =)

Not forgetting that I would be participating in my company's weekly badminton sessions and somewhere in September, my company is organising an ACTIVE day at Grand Copthrone Hotel, so gonna join that as well.. then in December, there is gonna be the Stand-Chart Marathon 2008.. so I'm gonna join that as well.. Oh man..

Next week would be a very busy week for me.. here's wats up:

Tuesday (13/5) - May or may not have company's bowling session. Organiser still deciding!

Wednesday (14/5) - My company's Annual Bowling Competition (Practice Session) @ SuperBowl, Marina Square.

Thursday (15/5) - My company's Management & Staff Rally @ Furama Hotel.

So you can see.. being in a company such as mine, certainly reap more benefits (not only monetary wise but health as well!) than my previous company!

Saying of my previous company, I get really angry! They apparently SHORT-PAY me $70.. They never pay my OT the amount that they should pay! I emailed to my boss and highlight the short-pay part with bold red and underline and increase font size! I don't care! How can they be like that?
I even included in that email a DETAILED calculation of how my OT pay should be counted! My goodness.. thank God I left this company already, or else I don't know how many more times they will miscount my pay! Apparently, this is about the fifth or sixth time that my salary got miscounted, and everytime I must chase either my boss or the accounts dept. to settle it.. haix.. so inefficient!
Now, I'm currently waiting for a reply from my boss. I wanna see what his reply is! Saying of which, I should email him again after I finish blogging this blogpost!

Anyway, back to happy things.. so I'm seriously turning into a health nut soon.. but it doesnt help that today I was so tempted to try the Yong Tau Foo with Laksa gravy @ NUS Arts Canteen.. and I tell you.. it was really GOOODDDD... much much better than the normal soup one.. but ah.. very high calorie.. Apparently I reckon yesterday the calories lost whilst playing badminton is like no use liaox.. all gain back by the laksa gravy! ha.. but oh well!

Ok lah.. today whole body ache at office.. lucky no samples to do.. just some paperwork.. and man oh man.. Just as I tot that I would escape being a safety officer, I kenna the job title by my boss.. so no choice.. but I get to work with that down-to-earth colleague which I told you he and I clique very well.. so ya.. so not so bad.. even if have to go for courses, we would be going together.. ha.. so I won't be alone! =)

Really got to go liaox.. and man.. my whole body ache.. especially my buttocks.. oh man! But this week really flew by so quickly.. tml is Friday already =)..

Be healthy!,

My badminton experience!

Well ppl.. I've officially completed my FIRST corporate badminton session! Not many ppl go though.. the organizer last minute got something on, so he told me personally that he would not be going..
The organizer and I become good friends now liaox.. =).. he is another super friendly guy.. always make you feel welcome though you are new! Its as if he has known you for years! =)

Left early at work becos going to play badminton mah.. then cab to my main office to collect something from HR, and then walk to find the community centre that they play badminton!

I left hurriedly at HR becos I was in jeans & polo tshirt.. not nice lah.. Ha..
Then I forgot, I left my access card up at the HR desk.. fortunately my HR saw it and keep for me.. I was wondering where my access card has gone, just as I was searching for it when I was downstairs! So to cut the long story short, my HR gave it back to me after I gave her a call!

Just then, the organiser, saw me, and then asked me do I know to get to the place and all.. Ya.. he was very concern I lose my way!.. so ya.. Very helpful guy..
Then halfway through the game, this same guy msg me and all.. Ask me to enjoy the game and asked me whether I have reached the community centre.. ha.. =).. now you know why he and me are good friends? =)

So I played badminton for abt an hour or so.. very fun! Its been a long time since I've played! Skills got rusty (esp. during serving the shuttlecock), but after a while, I got the hang of it, and I was enjoying every minute of it..

Though I kept running during my IPT for the past few weeks, my muscles still cramp sia.. Now my hamstring cramp.. my goodness.. Just hope I can walk tml.. Getting old already ya koe.. =P

But still, I wld NOT give up my badminton regime! I will try to attend as faithfully as I can! =)

Oh.. I bought Tong Heng egg tarts on my way home.. yummy! =)

Ok.. gtg liaox.. getting tired..

Leg pain,
<<< abriel >>>

Getting to know ppl is fun!

Well.. today was spent quite meaningfully in office.
No samples to do in office, just some paperwork.. so ya..

Today, I got to know more abt another colleague of mine. Quite a down-to-earth and funny guy. Talking to him is like talking to another old friend whom we have not met for years, though he is 4 yrs older than me! Striking a conversation and continuing it is also easy! So ya.. the best thing is that he is only sitting in front of me.. so very easy to communicate =)

Then the day before, my HR, has requested me to like ask me to send a photo for my Management & Staff Rally (which is next wk), and I managed to find and crop a photo (the one on my cousin's wedding) and send to her. Must look presentable mah, becos my CEO would also be there.. so ya.. stressful huh! =P
Then my HR also said that I should say one of my hobby and all, and I told her that its easy.. eat loh.. then she replied her pastime is the same as mine =) ha..

Tml would be my FIRST badminton session after like how many years! Its a corporate weekly exercise organised by my company. So ya.. so tml I would probably be meeting more new ppl and also experiencing backaches and all. I hope I would still be able to work on Thursday.. haha =P..
But this means that its the start of my keep fit regime! I want to see how long I can last! =)

Ok lah.. gtg and sleep liaox.. Tired.. need to sleep well for my badminton session tml..

Recee trip @ Tebrau City, JB, Malaysia!

My Sunday was spent going through what I call a fruitful day.. Not only did I spend time with my church mates, but also at our friendly neighbouring country, Malaysia.

Was there for recee for my church camp, happening in June 2008 =).

** Photo on left: A few Church Camp 2008 Committee members doing a recee trip @ Tebrau City, JB, Malaysia. We have work-life balance =)

The day started with me going through what I call quite a torture, becos the previous nite, I was having coffee at Coffee Club with another church friend (and I got 10% discount becos being a Citibank Card member!), and whilst we are at it, we also brainstorm ideas for role-playing during church camp..
It was a fun brainstorming session altogether; we had our share of laughters more than "brain-aches".. and I was so surprised that I had come out with so many weird ideas. Ha. =P

Then its like by the time I get home and settle down, its already about 12.30am. Super sleepy.

Woke up like at about 6am in the morning.. Wash up and bathe.. then met a few of them at AMK MRT before proceeding to Causeway Point to meet the rest!
(Had a cup of iced "Yuan Yang" & a thick toast pork floss bread - all from Toast Box, before I left for Causeway Point).

** Photo on right: The Church Camp 2008 Committee lunch up @ The Chicken Rice Shop in Tebrau City, JB, Malaysia during recee trip!

Some of us (Christina, Seb & myself) sat in Tjow's car.. and man.. his driving is good lah! ha.. So smooth.. he's driving a manual somemore.. With the kind of traffic going into Causeway on Sundays with a manual car, is like torture for me (becos of the clutch and all, but he does it just fine!). Surprisingly good! =)

Reached JB, and then do all the necessary receeing of the hotel that we would be staying.. The sales executive was friendly =).. then its like we proceeded to Tebrau City to make a recee trip (and also for some shopping!) as we plan to proceed there for Free & Easy sessions.. so ya..

Had a whale of a time.. Had even bought an ORIGINAL "Ah Long Pte. Ltd" DVD at only RM$29.90! =).. the price when converted to Singapore dollar, is like only $13-$14; the price of a VCD in Singapore! =)

Had lunch as well.. then a short discussion.. then its back to Singapore, and for me, Uncle Andrew gave me a lift to Amara Hotel (becos my aunties and uncles are staying there, as part of their Annual visit to Singapore).. so my parents spend a day with them.

Was actually supposed to have dinner with them, but then, they had a last minute appt, so its like my parents & I then went to Raffles City Shopping Centre to eat the beef noodles.. very good.. I'm craving for it now! =P..

Then came home.. and now blog this blogpost..

Ok.. I gtg liaox.. need to sleep.. Tml is a new work week.. haix..

Malaysia, truly asia,

My workday without lunch =(

Well.. yes.. amazing right.. I survived on my breakfast of one MacDonald's cheeseburger and 9 chicken nuggets at 0615 hrs all the way till 1700 hrs..
I did not have my lunch.. haix.. =(

I was actually working on a sample which my boss asked me whether I want to try.. I said ok.. then she told me to setup the machine and all.. But my senior was not here.. so I have so so much problems with that machine.. I set one perimeter right, and the other perimeter would just go haywire. What a waste of time!

Close friends would know my "kuan" (Hokkien for character); if I don't achieve what I want to achieve at that certain day or time, I would have no mood to do anything (including lunch or dinner!).. So yesterday was no exception..

My boss came back from mtg at about 1400 hrs, and saw me still working on it.. I told her I didn't eat lunch, and she was shocked.. but then she can't help.. Just as I've decided to like go and grab a bite, my VP said he wanted to call for a last minute mtg (and the best thing was that he was already there.. I would think he would have fetched my boss back to office).. so ya..

And the mtg lasts from 1410 hrs - 1700 hrs.. my goodness.. My stomach was growling and I was yawning half the time.. I know its rude, but can't be help.. I was feeling very restless from the hunger experience..

After the meeting, I told my boss that I will have to wait my senior to come back from her leave (which is on Monday), and then I will ask her to teach me.. My boss agreed..

So I cleared up the machine and just as I was about to go back to my desk and take something, my boss told me that one of my despatch driver send our weekly dosage of fruits over.. so I had bananas (good source of potassium, carbo, etc..).. and I ate that.. so nice sia.. I actually ate 3 bananas.. ha.. then in addition, ate 1 small pkt of biscuits.. that was my dunch (lunch + dinner)..

Then when I left office for combine prayer mtg, I went to Seah Im hawker to grab a bee-hoon-mee goreng for my dinner lah.. so ya..

Felt satisfied lah of course.. then attend prayer mtg, and then now came home and blog this blogpost..

Now tired liaox.. Gonna go church tml and Sunday to JB, Malaysia for my church camp recee trip.. Yeh! =)

I can't live without my 3 meals,

Random Post..

I've got nothing to do on this Labour Day.. just wanna get some rest.. Actually want to go out to do a little shopping, but no kakki.. haix.. sianx.. =(.. so here am I typing this random post..

By the way, the following is an interpretation of my name.. All I can say is that its 95% accurate.. my goodness.. I wonder who actually did this.. =).. so here it is:

What Ghui Chong Boon Abriel Means

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?
