Yes! I looked forward to today because it's my day off and I get to spend some time with my mei. We slept together in the living room on our sofa (it was very windy and cold!), we get to have lunch and dinner together, play games together, talk and watch tv together. Always when she was here over the weekends, she'll be asleep on Sat night by the time I'm home and I'll be heading out to work on a Sunday morning. So even if I try, I may miss her by the time I'm home or she'll be preparing to leave - means we interact for an hour or less.
We spent the whole day at home today and I get to play some games with her. From strumming the guitars to singing songs fromo Guitar Hero. We played Gears of Wars 3 on easy mode. Only game we didn't play as plan is Dance Central 2. Hope to play that when I have my weekend off.

Goodbye
Today was the day I'm dreading.. I had always want to drag it, put it to another day so that I'll never face it.. at least not so soon. However it was inevitable and it'll happen sooner or later, why not now?
I had thought that it will not hurt and that I'll let go of it easily. I was wrong. I was struggling not to shed a tear while I was on the way to the destination.
My heart was battling whether should I hold on to the piece of string or was it time to let go. In the end, I chose to let it go.
I'd decided not to waste his time, that he deserve someone better than me. One who'll love him equally or maybe more. One who will set a huge chunk of her pie chart for him. One who will at least put him on the top 2 billboard list. One who will think of him all the time, who will try to make him happy, who will listen to him pain, who will be there for him.
He is still in my heart but I guess time will heal all wound. Trying to hold back my tears for the whole day, it's finally time to let it all go.
Will we still stay as friends? Will he still give me advice? Will we still keep in contact? I'm not sure.
We'd set I'll get a free brunch that should a guy date me out or a friend try to set me up on a date in 3 months' time.
Love hurts.
I'd never thought that I'll feel the pain. The sadness. I'll never want to fall in love again. Regret yes. Never expect it to be that painful. But it is for the better. Must one lose something to learn? Can't help wondering what is he doing, how is he feeling and how is he doing. Why must it happen just to feel all these? Why must one take another for granted?
And I know that I'll never find a guy like him. I'd just let a rare gem go and I hope the gem will shine better with another owner.

My good boss
Okay, I have been going on and on about "time to search for a new job", "quit" and all yet I'm still here. I guess the main reason why I'm still staying is because I happened to be working with a good boss. He's the main reason and it's not easy to find one whom I can really work well with, who's patient enough to teach me (even to the extend of almost spoon feeding), who can be fun and serious at the same time. So to leave now makes me feel very guilty. I want to support him as much as he is supporting me now. I learnt a lot from him and who doesn't wish to have a boss who is straightforward? Of the many bosses I'd worked with, this is the best of the bestest boss ever!! No matter how the day is, he can just make you happy. :)

Jiawei's wedding *WHAT?!?!?!?*
Yes... I'm trying to post the next 2010 wedding photos (like I'd remarry so many times. haha) since I managed to get home before 12am. Hoping to upload and post everything so that I can sleep before the clock strikes 12.
It was held at Holiday Inn Atrium. It was my first time there and food turn out to be ok. :) Get to see some of my old secondary school friends whom I am familiar with but will not continue to keep in contact with them. I'm happy with my current group of friends.
Handmade photo plant, practical, cheap and you get to keep it after your wedding.
I was trying to do an artistic shot
Ring of lifetime commitment, one that binds you for life and a reminder of your love towards each other.
With the groom
And the bride
Did I mention that we are his appointed reception?
Someone asked me to take a photo to make sure everyone drops an ang bao in
And also to write a note of blessing in his handmade book
Taking photos before the dinner starts
At the dinner
It's kinda clear to see that our table is split into two..
We went up to his room after the dinner, admiring it and surprising the couple
After the dinner, we moved on to the nearest pub to chit chat.
YJ 在賞月
Some random photos
Cheers!
Caught me eating again.. can't help but to eat
Taking one group photo before calling it a night
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ah! 4mins to midnight, time to go sleep and get ready for tomorrow. Cooling night to sleep in and did a quick check on Tokyo's weather, it's nearing Winter and temperature is going down....... OOOoooooooo!!

Potluck!! + One of the many weddings attended in 2010
Met up with Jw, Xiaobai and Bel at Jw's place today for a mini potluck session. Made sushi the whole day - for dajie to bring to work, for me to bring to the potluck and for tomorrow's lunch/mei & dajie's lunch.
We played Monopoly Deal and I sucked at it. I really sucked at strategic games.. seriously. That's why I do not play games that required building of buildings/turn based/ etc.
Xiaobai arranging the food for phototaking while I munch on his new cookie. Yums!!!
Posing with the food.....
Clockwise from top left: Mini burger with cheese by Jiawei, cookies by xiaobai, sushi by me and curry by Ruhui. It was all delicious and filling! As Bel was busy finishing her report, so we asked her not to buy her portobello and come straight over to eat.
Lastly we had chocolate fondue with strawberries and biscuits. It was all nice but I skipped the chocolate and biscuits, sticking to the strawberries only due to my sore throat and cough. How I wish it'll go away for it always disturbs me when I sleep.

One of the rare meet up with Chris who happened to be in Singapore and was free to meet us since his strict girlfriend was busy with her own concert.
2010 Dinner at Orchard Central, Marche.
Photo edit done by Bel. :)
---------------------------------------------------
Anyway I'd been lagging on posting photos taken in 2010. Partly is I'm still finding cheap Photoshop software so now I'm using temporarily means to upload my photos without editing it.
It was one of the numerous weddings I'd attended in 2010. Friends suddenly decided to get married one after another on a monthly basis so it was also my poorest period of the year. Father's wedding was held at Novotel last year, October. I, posting photos after they had celebrated their one year anniversary. Weddings held by ex-colleagues always felt like a big gathering with everyone. :)
With the two Erics
A proud mom :) And I the evil god mother from the east!
The very adventurous guy
Pretty ladies not for sale!
The two sisters
Me, alone. Still can't get used to taking photo solo. Just awkward...
A group photo with the other table
My fave girl.. who's always very pretty
The first ex-colleague
If you notice.. I like to take photos with pretty girls. Hehe.
Peps at my table with some visitors.
Jeremy, who is really a S.N.A.G
With yet another table
Yeah!!!! Finally managed to upload photos, post it and now I can sleep! Not that it's a burden or a must but I just feel that I shouldn't be too lazy.
3 more weddings to post and I'm done with 2010! Sheesh! And 2011 is going to be over in 1 month's time!

男公關?!?!
Ever since the launch of a new product in Oct, I have been working till late since then. Working hours can stretch from 0930hr till 2230 for the first 2 days, then 0930 till midnight on other days. I treat this as an endurance test, a challenge to see how far my mind and body can take it. It was working well until last night. Not sure whether was it because everyone around me are starting to fall sick one by one and a particular someone who did not bother covering her mouth when she coughs (you can nearly feel the germs in the room). I'm starting to feel sick last night. Sore throat and cough creeping up on me and today was the limit. I felt extremely tired and feverish. Was it because I didn't sleep early for the past nights and woke up at 0700 yesterday and end work at 0100hr? Chatted over the phone with a friend till 2am+, woke up at 0700hr today and just reached home. Ah.. Thought I get to leave work early and end up.. I just couldn't leave my colleagues to die. Thought of waiting up for da jie to return home but I think I better go get some sleep.
ANYWAY, I attended a girlfriend's hen's night at this ladies club. Yes.. Ladies Club! It was my first time to such a place and it was an eye-opener! It was located at Lavender and I'd say all the 男公關 are from China, maybe just one of the female manager is a local - she's extremely friendly. There are at least 10 guys and they would "parade" themselves every 30 mins or so. First was catwalk then belting out songs from a Karaoke system. I'd say 99% of their singing sucks... It just spoil their "good looking" image. All the guys were suit up so they look really smart. Of the many guys there, only 2 are good looking.
I was turned off from the start because the host was announcing that a lady was celebrating her hen's night and invited her on stage. We did not request to do that and neither did we ask to send her on stage. Host tasked her to dance. He got a guy to do a mini pole dance and asked her to finish that mission and considered a pass! While they were still trying to get my gf to do that, someone working in that club approached us and said "the host are at work to celebrate for your friend on stage, maybe you'd like to support them by giving flowers?". Note: Their flowers cost at least $100. Frikking expensive ok?!?!?!?! So.. we were obliged to do that.. $100 per person.. $200 gone. Wth.... Really spoil our night. I did not dare to talk to any of the guys because I was afraid that they'll ask me for 小费. I'm a stingy and soon to be poor student.
Drinks was considered ok since it cost like $500++ for 3 bottles of hennessy to be shared among 10 of us, of which 1 has already quitted drinking and the other is not a drinker. I drank a little too much and was feeling very sleepy by the end of the party. We wished that the night would last longer for spending just 4hours together wasn't fun enough. Games for my gf was cool though and we found a very steady patron for one of our game, for her. Haha. After that, he kept coming over to our table and we could tell that he was drunk for he was very tipsy and falling over his words. There we learnt that he was a mix - SG and Taiwanese, just returned to SG from god-knows-where, he's holding a pink ic so he's a proud Singapore citizen. Photos are waiting to be vet through by the bride-to-be, which can be publish, which are for our own eyes only. I can't wait to see the photos!!
Fun as it was, the place is quite small, 男公關 and customers alike do not frikking flush the frikking toilet!! It was so disgusting especially after they'd forced themselves to puke and not flush it. 男公關 really can't sing except for the host - said to be a professional singer in his country, place is small - less than 10 tables, small stage, no live band. Nothing like the typical Thai pub. Out of the many guys, I'd only spotted 2 good looking ones so you can imagine how bad it was. Maybe they should work on their facial complexion, their hairstyle and their breath. NOt sure if they have bad breath but they better have mints in their pocket to avoid losing potential female clients.
Friend suggested going to another ladies club at PS and I can't wait for that day!
