救援人员从废墟的空隙伸手进去确认了她已经死亡，又在冲著废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在在砖
当人群走到下一个建筑物的时候，救援队长忽然往回跑，边跑变喊“快过来”。他又来到她
经过一番努力，人们小心的把挡著她的废墟清理开，在她的身体下面躺著她的孩子，包在一
随行的医生过来解开被子准备做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里，医生下意识的看了下
“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活著，一定要记住我爱你”
看惯了生离死别的医生却在这一刻落泪了，手机传递著，每个看到短信的人都落泪了。

My bunch of cousins and myself celebrated Mother's Day in this Awon Korean Restaurant in Excelsior Hotel. Initially, the expected turnout is 10 pax, 5 pairs of mother-daughter that's made up of my mum & her sisters, and their respective daughters. But my mum has this little brother of hers that's super 不甘寂寞 and so in the end we added another pair of mother-daughter & father-son.
Anyway, the food in this restaurant was fabulous. It's very authentic Korean BBQ cum steamboat buffet at very cheap price. Part of the reason why I chose this restaurant was because my dear mummy is a HUGE fan of korean drams. I was hoping that she'll have a taste of the Korean culture first before I treat her to a trip to Korea sometime later.
The food served there is really very tasty, even though the variety is quite limited. But what I liked about them is that it's oil free. They have this very special steamboat cum grill meat thingy that's imported from Korea I believe. And it is not like the ones that we normally see. Anyway, this special baby allows the grilling of meat with the steamboat's soupbase, hence making it oil free. Erm, I hope you get what I mean. Hahhaah
The pricing is pretty reasonable and there's 30% discount for UOB/DBS card holders. Actually even without the discounts I would think it's pretty reasonable (around $23++ for weekend dinner). Maybe because of it's affordable price, it's always full so better make reservations before you go.
I'm glad that my mum & my aunties all enjoyed the food as much as I do. And they all agreed that it's a very nice place to dine in. So do try out if possible.
I'm sure gonna go back there soon.
^.^

当一个人处在一种很怕，很慌乱的情况下，能够有朋友在身边陪着你，不断的给你安慰和帮
我想，人在这种情况最需要的是这种‘不要怕，我陪你！你不是一个人’的感觉。
谢谢你们！真的，谢谢你们！

本人 ：妈，重点是，那个房子是大还是小？
妈妈 ：是洋房来的，我还记得外面是白色的。
本人 ：Okay, Veri Good!
拜托，拜托， 请让妈妈的梦成真！

Most of you would have already know, I've been offered a job with Hitachi GST.
I couldn't be happier. Really.
I remember telling one of my ex-colleague via MSN sometime back, that I'm giving myself until Mar'08 to look for a job in the private sector. Otherwise, I may consider going back to teaching since I've enjoyed my 1 year of contract with MOE. The only thing that's pulling me back is the NIE part. I guess everything is predestined =)
Come to think of it, it was really a dream come true for me. Rather spooky though.
Here's what happened:
My current company has this practise of celebrating birthday for employees at the end of every month. So for the month of Mar, I was the only one. Previously, the birthday baby will be the only one who gets a slice of cake but somehow this month they decide to get a whole cake instead. My colleague was asking me if I wanna blow the candles since my birthday had passed long ago. I was quite hesitant initially but my other closer colleague (who knows about me waiting for reply from Hitachi) told me to do it because then I'll get to make a wish. So I agreed. And indeed, my wish was " I hope to get the job from Hitachi". That was 12.30pm.
At around 2.30pm, I received the call from Hitachi. Incredible rite? Hahaha.
Although this job may not pay me any better than what I'm getting now (at least for now), but I know I'll be able to scale to greater heights from the experience that I'll gain with this company. It'll give me more market value in future if I wanna switch paths again.
More importantly, this job allows me to travel. Which is what I've always been looking forward to. Maybe I'll get sick of it someday but at least for now, I'm looking forward to this.
I don't know what will be the outcome of this career switch and frankly, I'm quite scared of what's gonna happen next cos I don't know what lies ahead but I hope that my faith would not fail me now.
I pray that I'll be able to brave through the storms ahead and that my faith & determination would not fail me. Please pray for me.

为什么你还是对我有所不满？
为什么我总觉得你认为别人的女儿比较好，自己的女儿就一无是处?
为什么你看不到我的努力?
我很用心的想要改善我们的生活, 因为我觉得你应该要享福了。 所以即使我很累,很不开心, 我还是硬着头皮撑下去。
可是为什么你对我说的,永远都是我哪里不好,哪里不够,谁谁的孩子很本事,赚很多钱,
在这种时候，我真的真的真的很不好受！
因为是独生女，我没有兄弟姐妹可以分担家里的烦恼。
就算我们表兄弟姐妹再亲，他们也没有办法了解或帮我。
对于朋友，我没有办法很明确的让他们知道我的痛苦。
每天强颜欢笑的，我很累。
我知道我的极限快到了，我不知道还可以忍多久。
我很怕有一天我会受不了，会撑不下去。
真的，我很不开心！

I am so so reluctant to get out of bed yesterday and is practically dragging my feet to work. Arrggghhh. As if things cannot get any worse, the job interview that I thought I had been scheduled for was put on hold and till now I still don't understand why.
HR: The managment had decided to put the recruitment for this position on hold.
Me: Orh, does it mean that the recruitment had stopped becasue the position is filled?
HR: No, the position is still vacant.
Me: Erm, that means they are still considering or they have totally stopped the recruitment?
HR: Er, it was put on hold because the management have not decided what to do with the position. However we'll keep your resume for other available positions.
Me: (question mark, question mark, question mark) Alright, thank you!
QUESTION! Why in the world would they want to advertise for this position, conducted 1st round phone interview, message me to schedule for interview when I'm in Taiwan, gave me hope, ONLY TO TELL ME THAT THEY DONNO WHAT TO DO WITH THE POSITION??!!??? WAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? *Irritated*
This is not the 1st time this kind of thing happened to me. Am I that unlucky or what? Arrgghhh..
I am reaching my ultimatium for this current job, and I really wanna leave. Otherwise, I will end up being the one who wants to commit suicide.
I hate this kind of 'I want to leave but I cannot leave' kind of feeling, I hate not being able to justify my degree with my current income, I hate not being able to see any light in future. Yeah, so what even if I've made a difference to other people's life? Who's making a difference to MY LIFE then? Don tell me about my job being 'good enough' since I have lots of leave & time off. What's the point of having alot of time off when the people around you are so damn busy? I rather be busy with work but rich than to be very free but poor. Understood?
The more I talk about it, the more my blood boils.
Change topic. Let's talk about Taiwan.
It's damn fun lar. Although Taiwan's airport is really lok-kok, but the place is heaven. The people are so polite, so friendly and the food...OMG..the food is superb. Cheap, large servings & delicious. Almost 80% of the photos were taken with food, or me queuing for food, or me eating the food. Hahaha.. I love their 葱油饼，水煎包，生煎包，大肠包小肠，烤肉，鸡排，芋圆 and counting. Even their KFC serves nice food - egg tarts. Yes, their KFC sells egg tarts that's damn delicious.
The weather is fabulous, cold & windy. Exactly what a polar bear needs to survive. Hahaha. Imagine me, the all-time popular poala bear shivering in cold. Hard to imagine neh. But I really did. Even in the bustling places like their night markets where it's packed with people, I am also shivering in cold. In the end, I had to buy a pair of leather gloves so that my hands won't go numb. When we were high up in the Taipei 101, on their 91th floor (I think) outdoor observatory, I cannot even stand still cos the wind is just too strong.
Oh, I have to mention about the hot spring resort that we stayed in - Spring City Resort. The place is so so nice. The room is very Japanese style, with our personal hot spring. First time doing hot spring, and it's really fun. In the end, I think we were in it for too long that we got a bit 'high', felt abit dizzy. Haha. That was the most relaxing night we had in Taiwan. The moment we step into the resort, the only thing that were feel like doing is to laze around and nothing else. The food served in the resort is ridiculously expensive, in the end, we ordered McDonalds in. Muaahaaah.. But it was a great choice cos we get to eat in the comfort of our room (since we paid so much for it ) and we got to share some nice moments chatting, exchanging heart to heart conversation only to cry our hearts out due to some sensitive topics ^.^ Nice memories.
Conclusion: Taiwan is a highly recommended place to go. Brought back alot of fond memories of that place =)
Photos to be up later cos majority is with Ms Bianca.

Is it just me? Somehow CNY seems to get less and less fun - no ambience, no anticipation.
Okay, maybe some others who don't even get to celebrate CNY will want to punch me after reading this. But is true wat, CNY is really getting very boring.
Coming from a BIG family, I am suppose to enjoy CNY and I did, past tense. In recent years, I don't even feel like buying new year clothings. After all, I'll be in my own house and the people I see are those who comes over every weekend, just that they dressed up during CNY. The Ang Paos collected no longer make any difference to my liquidities, I am still as broke. In fact, even poorer than usual days since I have to give my mum n ah ma ang paos. Prices go up everywhere and in the end, the whole Singapore watches movie on Da Nian Chu Yi.
This year lagi worse. For once in donno how many years, we (as in between cousins) did not gamble on Chu Yi. How weird is that??!!!??? No wonder something is missing >,<
