War of Nerves.

Bump into me reveling in a hot tea at the traditional-and-modern fused coffestall labelled Ya Kun (enunciated 'Ah-Koon'), or relishing a mango frap at Starbucks Coffee isolated on a lazy afternoon like today, if the weather accedes. Momentarily, it can rain relentlessly and the humidity makes me want to kill myself! Or if getting out of the house isn't appropriate, then it will be a perfect reason to have one entire afternoon dedicated for just sleeping or snuggle at home watching my long-due-to-see DVDs. But no, I should be doing some other like seeing my friends particularly when I got Saturday-off this week, which in turn eventuate it into a longer weekend plus christmas for catching-up! Yay. Not that the weekdays 'forbid', I'm moderately enervated to take on anything after work notably the past few weeks.

MPH is believably receiving a little too much, like endless this holiday season! That I am assured. Almost impassable to clear all, can we? I so need physical and mental rest, anyone heard me?! Well, I do get occasional visits on common days from campmates like Joseph, Ken and then a few of my other closer friends had skied in, when I wasn't working. -Haha- At least, I could drift my focus away from the ceaseless work even for a short while. Thanks. I long readjusted myself to the season of retail madness. It's a remarkable change of feeling; that I see MPH as one work place now and not one bookstore in a shopping mall like I did formerly.

I missed the supplier's eat treats last few weeks. I was on medical leave. Nevertheless, just last Friday another treat, everyone! And then one of my colleagues unexpectedly bought us Starbucks' blended mocha. Of course, I will always remember that part when another MPH mate of ours constantly grumbled about how bitter it was without whipped cream but we can still do without it, really. And that my other colleague's frap was the only exceptional one with the cream! Boy, that was comical.

My colleagues said I was lucky. The other day, I had to do deliveries to all the city and suburb outlets with our driver. But unanticipated things occurred en route like we were partly drenched in rainwater right after lunch, then there was a tree fall at Tagore Drive and no matter what we still had to dash across it! And there was this one odd customer order which we were rather displeased with. Radically, we not only wasted an hour till after two (the place's a corporate government office where the lunchtime is until 2pm), we were also given an absolute wrong customer name (no such name in that one building) by the customer herself which I myself was utterly confused and basically no idea how and why. Despite there was no contact number. And the second immediate person to receive on her behalf (who indeed exists) wasn't even around. The following day was similar. Couldn't the security just collect it first and then give to her when she returns? What-so-ever, I went to SP as well to deliver MPH vouchers for their forthcoming open house. Like whenever I went back school, it surely brought old good retrospection. And that goes all the way back to the years where I used to be a constant official helper for the courses and career fair open houses with the rest. Was that fun, extra CCA points!!

Moving on from livelihood to hq meet-up part IV at Vivo City today! The last for 2006. The MRT station at Harbourfont was jam-packed, it was almost like having an autograph and take-a-photograph session of the most popular actor from Taiwan there with all the screaming fans which will soon result in stampede. What typical Singaporeans, they are forever rushing like God-knows-how. That precisely happened when I alighted from the train. Never but almost crushed. Anyway our original idea was to watch the silver screen ever since our previous get-together at Harry's (Heard and remember that!? It wasn't only me. Haha) but since we got our own holiday plans in the evening and cos of the crowd, we sticked to just lunch at Fig and Olive, in which I agreed the food wasn't good. I didn't recommend, I was just saying cos I saw the restaurant beside Earl's Swensens the other day. And then headed down for coffee. My frozen chocolate frap wasn't that bad. Today's get-together was without Joseph for the very first time. Anyhow, Death Note II. The movie trailer's out!

But we didn't take any photos today ya. Till next year's January outing. At Clarke Quay, I heard. Mosaic of our meet-up (October and November), below.

An entirely different note altogether, why is there people who likes to criticize so much instead of really helping or giving advice? If you can tag me. That's friggin reality. To those out there, anyone, I shall seriously suggest why dont you look at yourselves first before criticizing others, can? Duh.

Last Friday, met my secondary school closer buddies at White Sands. Yes, we all changed. It's funny we always said the words 'keep-in-contact' when we ourselves didn't even try. At times, you did try but just that the other do not really bother so much. So why we? -Hmm- Oh did you watch Supernatural last Friday? (though it was shown on AXN already) Great, cool tv series after The Ghost Whisperer.

Finally, I've picked up on my running again after a hiatus. Was like finally. Yeah hopefully I'll stay faithful to it.

Hari Raya Aidiladha next week. Already the festive songs playing on the local radio. Christmas songs on-aired concurrently this year. Oh ya, have a great Christmas and Aidiladha for anyone celebrating.

It's gonna be 2007 soon. Doesn't quite feel like one year ya. New year, what's my resolutions? I wouldn't wish to be like a voice without words. I will suppress my fears. And battle through this - War Of Nerves. What's yours?

Tired but i'm going out again after this. -Haha- Till then take care people.
