Lets slow down
and start going backwards.

I LOVE DEAR.
Is there another more powerful word than love?

If I can find a place to stay near Dear in Beijing and if I can get an air ticket, I will fly miles to meet dear, even if its just for a day. I will give up my pretty stuff just to be with Dear. I will use up my savings just to let Dear talk to me. I WANT DEAR NOW. =(

Okay no. I cannot be emo or else time will pass slowly. I must look forward to Dear's return. Less than 2 weeks to be with Dear again. =D Gwad, I cant wait!!!

What I thought would be comfort actually brought tears to my eyes. (Dear, its your bb and wg.)


HAHAH. Okay just ignore that. I think theres alot you guys can ignore for the next few days, cause my lover of 4 years has left for a foreign country- China. I had the strongest, most happy front at the airport today. Gawd, I actually sucked back all my tears and negative thoughts like crazy. But I was cool.


Baby will be gone for 17 days. Dont tell me "CHEY" cause its a big thing to me cannnnnn. I started this relationship thinking I was the strong one but now, I think roles have been reversed and I'm weakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I want Samuel to be back quickly. =(

I will flood my everyday with alot of stuff to do. So ppl please please please ask me out. I semi-glad that I have Uni Y camp from tml to thurs. But that also means I wont know how Samuel is doing in China for 3 days. So I will be worrrrrying and worrrrrying. =((( HAI..

I feeeeeeel so lonely. =((((((((((((((((

NOOOOOOO. I must be happy or else time will kill me. I cant wait for nonstop fun with myself for the next 16 days. I cant wait to tear a page off the calender everyday. I cant wait to go for camp! I cant wait to meet Tiying and I duno who on Sat. I cant wait to crash Audrey's lectures. I cant wait to stay at Lulu's hall. I cant wait to say HAPPY 4th ANNIVERSARY to Dear, from Singapore to China.

I cant wait to be at the airport again next next Tues. =)))))) Baby come home soon!!

Times like this make me envy how some couples can throw in their entire hearts and souls and just be crazily in love. Some couples can just meet up every single day just to see their other halves. Its not about the amount of time they fork out but about how they will never get sick of each other and that every moment counts.

Now, when I see some disgusting ah beng's blog talking about some ah lian he loves (or rather, lubs) and how he calls her weird names and how he thinks shes the world to him, I will just crumble and wish I was Ah Lian. Gawd, I'm disgusting but I cant help it.

Thank you Jason Mraz for those encouraging words;
If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

Let me know that you still love me like our early days. Let me SEE, let me FEEL. Dont just tell me, I'm deaf already.

Perhaps.

"I Love the World"

I love the mountains,
I love the clear blue skies,
I love big bridges,
I love when great whites fly.

I love the whole world,
And all its sights and sounds.

Boom dee odda,

Boom dee odda,

I love the oceans,
I love real dirty things,
I love to go fast,
I love Egyptian kings.

I love the whole world,
And all its craziness.

Boom dee odda,
boom dee odda,
Boom dee odda,
boom dee odda.

I love tornadoes,
I love arachnids,
I love hot magma,
I love the giant squids.

I love the whole world,
It's such a brilliant place.

Boom dee odda,
boom dee odda,
Boom dee odda,

Boom dee odda,

My Favouritest YMCA colleagues. =))))))

Even though I had a great experience at Yew Chong's wedding today, I MISSSSSSSSS Y READINGG LIKE CRAZYYYYY!!!

AH!

I miss leading the group and acting high.
I miss conducting icebreakers with Khar and the other leaders.
I miss fooling around.
I miss being greedy with everyone during lunch.
I miss gaying with Khar on the way to SCAS.
I miss feeling sleepy on the bus back.
I miss lunching at QQ Mian.
I miss all the volunteers.
I miss all the cute beneficiaries.
I miss Nicole, who offers to speak to SMU organisers if camp clashes w Y Reading! HAHAH. =D

Love Y reading and I really hope everyone in it will remain even when we take on different routes. Tough though.

Y Reading is like my CCA! But the thing very special about my CCA is that we are from different schools! I think thats really cool. Its super heartwarming when we come together and laugh nonstop all the time. Dont really rmb what we laugh about but we always end up laughing like crazy. And love all the photos we take together- ugly or super pretty (as Yiliang likes to call it). Its like everytime when a new album is created, I will be damn excited to go take a look and soon everyone will be commenting like crazy. Hahahaha.

Y clique really has the power to make me laugh at my computer screen. The photos are AMAZING this time round. And till now, I still feel that tingling sensation of happiness when I think about my bday surprise. I am truely touched.

When I think of my lonely days in a new school- SMU, I will feel better immediately knowing that Yiwei and Libing will be there and Yiliang will be too! =) Now that I think of it, I went to Uni Open Houses with Y clique ppl too.

Uni Open Houses, K box, Dessert at The Coffee Club at Clarke Quay, Back to NYJC, Yishan's bday chalet, my bday at ECP. And more to come. =)

Yew Chong is officially a MARRIED MAN. Heh. =)

Surprise in a surprise caught me by surprise.

Its like those times when you open your eyes, and a surprise pops out in front of you. My birthday surprise was beautifully crafted by Y clique. It really blew me away. When I opened my eyes, I was completely stunned and I heard a familiar warm voice that went "Happy Birthday." AHHH. Hahahahah.

So it all began with me given instructions to head East. And as I approached a pavilion, the group started singing Happy Birthday, with passersby looking around for the lucky fellow. So EVERYONE was looking at me. HA.

There was a spread of food- stingray, pineapple rice, chicken wings, curry chicken, salad, bread, nuggets, marshmellows, tarts, alot of drinks. It was like a buffet. Then I was presented a super big mousey 'piggy' bank. SOO cute and SOO BIG.

Next comes the fake surprise. (I dont know who came up with this but it was quite smart.) I was told that Yan An was coming. Woah, amazing cause after NS, he wouldnt want to come out. So while waiting for him to come, we played games. Marshmellow game then murderer. Khar got everyone to close their eyes while she chose the different roles by tapping on their shoulder- Murderer, Detective, Cupid, Deathgod, Doctor... And I was like "Why so many roles!?" with my eyes still closed.

Then I got a tap too! I felt like finally I can open my eyes and then I heard Samuel's voice "Happy Birthday." Everyone was looking at me again. AHHHH. Samuel was sitting next to me with a big birthday cake in his hands. =) I felt so stupid closing my eyes all the way laaaaaaaa.

I really BIG BIG BIGGGGGGGGGG Thank you to Khar, Tiying, Yiliang, Libing, Andrew, Yiwei, Christopher, Pauline, Huili and Yishan who was sick and couldnt come. It was an amazing surprise that REALLY surprised me. Thank you Samuel too. I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH. I'm so touched.

Cant wait for the photos! Especially the stupid photo of me closing my eyes dilligently while everyone else were not even in the game. The game didnt even exist! AH!

After heading down to RP to deliver super nice fried rice to Samuel for lunch, I went to the library to watch documentaries again. And after watching "Walmart, high price for low cost", I got particularly emotional.

HATE WALMART. After studying about how good their company is at organising and specialising their goods and services, I actually felt how nice it is to see it for myself. I've learnt that they have different goods at different branches to match the needs of the residents nearby. I've also learnt they are able to bring prices lower by locating manufacturing firms offshore, this helps the poor in developing countries to get jobs. I've always thought this is a big firm all firms should learn from. I'd even written them as an example in my Human Geog essay before! GAWD, I'm so wronggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

They exploit workers. They promise them medical benefits and insurance but in the end, they need to pay a huge sum of money to be entitled such benefits. They told workers to rely on the government for medical assistance. Thousands of workers are under the care of the government's medical fund. The company earns hundreds of billions of dollars but they cant afford to help their employees? The workers all over the world even donate to this fund to help each other survive, which sums up to millions but the family who owns Walmart only donates $6000 yearly. WTF right?

They sell toy cars in US for abt $14, which is quite cheap attracting many buyers. But did you know, the workers are paid only 14 cents per car? China workers get less than $3 per day and they are forced to stay in the company's hostel, which looks like an underground war zone. No fans, only 1 window. If they dont wish to stay, they still have to pay its rental. Its like, what kind of rule is that? Forced to pay rental cause I kindly built this place for you alr. AH, so pissed.

And did you know, they even hire overnight workers and lock them up when they lock the stores too? These ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are hired and locked up in the store to clean the place. No one is allowed to leave, or even able to leave. AND, employees are threatened to lie. Managers cut off working hours of the workers and ignore all their overtime pay. They have to pretend that the other workers worked only until 9pm when they worked until 12. Walmart lies to workers that they cannot find any other workers so please help them work longer hours. LIAR!

And Walmart promises to help the environment since it was a big firm and it should help others (bullshit). But, it is helping with the pollution instead. It has numerous courtcases regarding river pollution.

Walmart has also countless crimes happening in their carpark. They said they have survillience cameras installed for the safety of customers but guess what! It has been found out that no one is hired to look at the screens of these cameras. Whats the camera for? And I dont believe that they cant afford it.

More and more countries are boycotting Walmart and refusing its entrance into the country. If Walmart ever wants to step into Singapore, I will join the Anti Walmart union.

Okay, enough of ranting. Haahhahaa. Ranting over a supermarket. =/
