dragonfly wasnt that big it wasnt tt big afterall..
din exactly plan to go clubbing ytd..aint my interest afterall..never been to such places without the company of my hall mates, my course mates..that was at least a yr plus since ytd's visit..

senior joyce asked me to go..so as usual i wun unless ive company so 'happily' arranged one with my colleagues..n 5 out of the 8 of us went..plus 9 seniors?yah so dat makes it 14 of us or 15?
guess we were pissed cos on a fri we had to wrk till 730..y?managers dere so wad to do..dun feel lyk oso hafta fake lahs..so took a cab down with senior gg to esplanade..n me to vivo..shall claim for the fares..dats wad auditors do!claim claim n claim!

met rick hj jen jiali at modestos an italian rest. for dinner..yah n tt huge plate of ceaser salad was good..yum!of cos lahs..costed me 15bucks..nice relaxed dinner..laughed all the way..haha..so it was at least a good session after a sucky week at work:P yah..n so dey happily arrowed me as the KTV rec club for us G2! and hj for sports and siew koon for drinking..cool right?its so nice dat ive such fun loving fellow colleagues:) greatful for tt..

by the time we were done with dinner, it was alr. 10 so next? headed to dragonfly and alas cnt imagine dat i actually queued to enter a club..lotsa of wrking folks as well as bengs and lians..good dat we had a fellow guy colleague-sam with us..but poor him, one guy hafing to 'look after' for gers..haven had so much drinks since last year at profs place..yah n i mean a vodka lime+ vodka shot(courtesy of sam)+ vodka ribena+vodka red bull+whisky!cool! but i still prefer my vodka lime..the feeling? feels alright as least we were all in a relaxed mood, so high i guess..oh man! luckily i was still sober, jus can really walk straight but i knew wads gg on ard me:P we headed to the dance floor, so packed so packed, we were all so closed to oneanother, so many ppl e ard us...the music was alright..din notice sly was on stage though i remembered his sgs being sang..oh well..grateful dat sam was ard protecting and watching over us..thanks!so nice of u!:)

hj puked and was quite seh..sam's briefcase gt all the puke and me n shuling had to head for the toilet to clean oursleves..me din really gt it though..poor ger hopefully u r feeling much better..
its true tt we cnt drink too much such tt we totally lose ourselves..i noe im tired twds the end..headed twds our little table n was glad tt the guy gave up the seat for me..him?whus him?i aint sure, cun be bothered but jus knew tt hes mingbao's fran or colleague.luckily i knew wad i was doing..luckily i was in control luckily i din jus listen to wad he offered..oh my! thanks sam for cming over..yah he aint my bf n i knew..so gtta thank u for looking out for me..so one wrd of caution: gtta lookout for another

so left at 2 plus and one of the seniors drove me n hj home..so exhausted tt i jus plonged myself on the sofa n concussed..completely! hangover? nah..still managed to wake up to gif tuition at 1030..

mb its stress, mb its lack of sleep mb its of other reasons which i cant pinpoint..

if ya were to ask me hw im feeling now...i can tell u straight tt i aint happy with the fact tt ive to wake up early and work till late...aint totally awake..im like a walking zombie,hate seeing my eyebags darkening, hate to listen to the gossips rel. to office..worst, thanking my seniors for being so kind to forewarn me bt the spinsters managers in office..thanks for telling me tt i will die under tt newly promoted director..it wun help by saeing tt she favours guys and will vent her anger on gers n not only gers but add the word pretty to it n u r cfm gg to suffer badly under her...sheesh..

hey!im being employed to learn n work not for pple to rant at! not here to tolerate the managers shit!yah being the lowest in the rank doesnt worth much but cant u jus think of urself in the past? dun u all haf some EQ? WTF!

gtting all emo bt it cos 10 days time i will b on a job with 3 guys and the darn director..dunno hw bad she is and i noe it aint fair to jus judge her jus by listening to my seniors comments etc..oh well, if shes not so evil, will pple detest her till like dat?i dunno..i jus wanna pray hard dat i wun die too terribly..will cfm die but hope wun die too badly..

it mus be lack of slp n the setting in of yet another rd of depression?the feeling seems to be appearing yet again..3 yrs ago now...oh pls! tmrs finally fri. again!good! but cant come bk to slack at home..for my future?will i haf one?sds bleak but whu noes..sians..yah gg dragonfly with the rest of the colleagues after work..nv been dere before so shall go chill..n yah think joyce does haf an agenda for asking me to go with them.,,n babe!it doesnt help by telling me dat piece of info and its scary to be in the office now..dun try too hard cos i aint trying and mb none will fit the bill..thanks for the thot though babe!

sleeping time..seems like im only enjoying myself during my slping hours and singing class...the rest of the time?im only hoping ill be aslp..seriously..if living is so hard..forget it..i dun mind not being a being..yah

tink hes the most gentlemanly of all...really impressed! carried my lappie even when i said it was okie, opening and holding doors for us, always letting us walk first, so ever polite..offered to help me keep the heavy lappie in his locker, still insisting on carrying when the lappie bag isnt tt heavy without the contents..n thanks for queuing for the fishball beehoon for me..feeling so guilty tt me din even ask wad ya wanna eat and u had to take ba cho mee...thank you!
surprised tt u noticed wad i ate dat day and remembered tt i do tk lotsa of veg...thanks for ur msges to remind me on this n that...and the reminding me on little things as insig. as switching off the wireless when using the cable..oh my!this is really helpful..thoughtful of u!
