I throw all of your stuff away. I’m gonna clear you out of my head. I tear you out of my heart. And ignore all your messages. I tell everyone we are through. 'Cause I'm so much better without you. But it’s just another pretty lie. 'Cause I break down. Hard as I try I know I can't quit. Something about you is so addictive. We're falling together. you'd think that by now I'd know. cause here we go go go again.

i almost died yesterday..

choked on a fishbone and couldn't get it out for as long as an hour.

put my finger down my throat to find the bone.

almost vomited at several times..

Then my sis suggested that i should go and swallow rice balls.

Did so and the bone is still there..

Then my mum suggested that i should swallow bread

SWALLOWED TWO AND ITS STILL THERE!!

Then my sis asked me to go drink vinegar.

Decided not to trust her.

So i continued diggiong for the bones.

My mum offered her help to use twisers to get the bone out from the throat.

My dad even helped to look for touchlight so that my mum can see the bone.

But... My mum has lao hua yen.. so i didn't accept her help..

continued digging...

almost vomited...

super tired... then rested..

At some period of time, i thought the bone has gone down... but it was just my imagination.

Got so tired that i went into the room to find my sis for help...

cause i trusted her eyesight more than my mum's..

She was watching her korean drama serials..

and i told her.."姐姐。。 我要死了。。 got fish bones in my throat..."

she looked at me coldly... "你很吵leh... 我在看戏。。 去死啦， 去死啦。。。"

... SPEECHLESS...

so i went out of the room and went into the bathroom.

There, through the mirror... i saw the bone...

It was actually quite easy to "kiap" out..

But my fat and short fingers couldn't reach that part of the throat.

So i went to wash the twisers and tried getting it out..

but when the hand went into the mouth... It blocked the light and i couldn't see the bone..

so fed-up after several tries and it was really uncomfortable...

i went to sought my sister's help again...

"我真的要死liao..."

Finally, she decided to help me...

But she claimed that the twisers wern't long enough to reach the bone..

SO..

I asked her to take the touchlight for me... and i did the ''operation'' myself on myself..

finally out after some tries...

Hey hey.. It has been a long while since I’ve updated, so… Thank you to all those who remained loyal and constantly viewed my page to see (by luck) if there’s any updates!
Maybe I’ll just start by explaining why, for such a long period of time, I’ve not updated my blog. Well, I got myself a temp job at the start of 2009 and hence, didn’t have that much time to update my blog
I’ll begin by telling you all how on earth I landed myself the job. The job agency called and informed me that there’s this job offering at $6 (which is under my expectation) and it seems like an interesting job. I accepted it, thinking no harm going for an extra interview.

So the next day, I went to this super impressive looking company and had the interview. During the interview, I was told that my job responsibilities would include liaising with various companies and organizations, marketing the various company events, blah blah blah ... When I revealed that my interest is in political science, the interviewer (director/boss) even mentioned that I’ll get to contact with CEOs, MDs, COO, Directors, GM and even manager and this job will give lots of exposure. The interview ended after some 30 minutes and I was told to wait a few days as they have other choices for consideration.

I left the building and proceeded back home. On the MRT station, I suddenly received this call from my agent (Darren) that I got this job. I was so surprised when I was told of the news as I had expected the news some 2, 3 days later, instead of like 5 minutes later from the interview? Anyway, I accepted the job after listening to the various exciting description by the interviewer and I was tasked to start work right after the New Year holiday, which is the 2nd of Jan.

So, the company that employed me is called the Singapore Business Federation. It is an organization which functions like a governmental agency/ non-profit organizations, and what it basically does is organize events for the benefit of the business community in Singapore. As what its website and my boss always say, “The Singapore Business Federation is the apex business chamber that champions the interests of the Singapore business community in trade, investment and industrial relations. It represents more than 15,000 companies as well as the local and foreign business chambers and key national and industry associations from business sectors that contribute significantly to the Singapore economy. Nationally, SBF acts as the bridge between the government and the businesses in Singapore to create and enhance a conducive business environment. Internationally, SBF represents the business community in bilateral, regional, multilateral fora for the purpose of promoting trade expansion and business networking…” …Boring stuff…

Anyway, I went into this company and entered the Industry Development Department as Temp Marketing Assistant. I was so shocked on my first day to find out that there were only 3 people in my department. My boss, my colleague and me. What’s more, my colleague himself is also a temp staff. I was thinking at the back of my mind how this department survived with only temp staff. Then, I asked my colleague, “Is there more to our department?” He replied, “Our department is considered big.. There’s a department which consist of only the director himself.” I was like…haha. Who would have expected that the notable SBF only has such small pool of employees under their ostentatious facade? I felt so cheated. How come the director (My Boss) is able to speak of SBF till it sounds so great?

With that mindset, I started working. The most immediate project our department had was the Launch of SBF-TP Clean Energy Testbedding Community with “Updates on Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City & Clean Energy Solutions for Urban and Ecocity Development”. It is jointly established by SBF and Temasek Polytechnic (TP) to complement the effort of the SBF Clean Energy Business Group (CEBG) and the Singapore Fuel Cell Community (FCC) hosted by TP. Supported by the Economic Development Board (EDB), CETC is targeted at business and technological cooperation to test bed and pilot Fuel Cell (FC) and other Clean Energy Technologies (CET) and Applications for adoption.

Why did industry development turn into a CLEAN ENERGY department?

My first task was then to send out individual invites for the event to 700 plus companies, with their respective salutations. Eg. Mr. ABC, Ms. XYZ. … Your eyes did not deceive you. ITS 700!! After the various emails, I was in-charge of the RSVP and all I do all day was reply thanking the companies for their interest in our seminar. How come my job scope seems so much different from what was promised? Haiz…

But I must admit that I was quite pleased when I was given my own work station. At least I felt respected. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET FROM MY DESKTOP EXCEPT FOR THE EMAIL!! BORING!! I CAN’T SUFT THE NET when I’ve got nothing to do. Shucks…

So my job hovers around the launch until the 20th of Jan, which is the day of the event itself. Medias were invited and CEOs from many companies came, and my boss was so disappointed when the only news coverage was a small paragraph in CNA. HAHA!!

The only one thing I enjoyed during the process was that I get to meet the super handsome Lecturer from TP!! Haha.. he was involved in all the planning and we had meetings in SBF/TP now and then, and I’ll get to see him!! He’s older than me by 10 years though… hmm. His name is Kwan XX. I’m drooling… JKJK.

Anyway, I’ll continue another day… I want to knock off now, rushing off to CT’s Alumni Barbeque!!.

YIPEE!!!

*I was typing this is my office and sending off through email..

Last Saturday, 7th February 09, the NP gang went out again. The destination was Sentosa and was to celebrate Bernard's 23th Bday!

Attendees: Me, Ngiam, Bird, Po, Xiong. Beng couldn't join us as he was on duty.

We planned to meet at 9.30am at vivo for breakfast but i am guilty enough to say that i was late, and reached only at 10. (I overslept and the freaking bus was late.. oops. Shan't blame the bus.) I was the only late persson and proceeded to Giant to meet them.

We bought water and tidbits, bread and tuna worth 26 plus in Giant, sponsered by Po and ngiam, to be brought into Sentosa. Then, we decided to grab a bit before going in and went to the kopitiam.

There, we bought 13 dollars woth of Tim Sum(Sponsered by me), 13 dollars plus of Kway Chap Sponsered by bird), and 5 dollars plus of Niang Dou Fu (By Xiong). Weixiong was laugh at for only buying that small bowl of niang dou fu. We ate to our fill and then adjourned to Sentosa.

At the ticketing booth, all of us paid for our own ticket, except for bird, who is sponsered by Xiong. They actually wanted me to sponser them but in the end, ngiam and xiong decided to pay for their own and bird was left to be seen as heartless.

Upon reaching sentosa, some serious debates was held to whether we should go to Palawan beach or Silosa. In the end, Silosa won and we walked there from the entrance.

In the walk, bird repeated his story about his dream of parachuting using a super duper small parachute, which eventually led to his winning of 4D. It was quite interesting and i had a good laugh.

After walking to a few spots, we decided to camp below the "lifwguard house" as the shade "would remain". Then, the guys started taking off their clothes and to put on the suntan lotion. Ngiam joined them in putting suntan lotion while i strongl\y opposed to Suntan lotion and INSISTED STRONGLY ON PUTTING SUNBLOCK instead.haha.. i didn't want my whitening efforts to go to waste. Ngiam said i should tan as white makes me looks ghostly.

Then, the guys started playing games while me and ngiam has some girl's talk. It's sort of about her china trip and details shall not be mentioned. We also did some zi-paing. Penalty was imposed on the person who dropped the ball, and i should be 5 pumpings if i'm not wrong. Me and ngiam joined in a while later and the game was changed to frisbee. Ngiam was "zhao" by po while i was "zhao" by xiong, who would have to cover our punishments. Bird would have to do double of it. Being a sports idiot, xiong did quite some push ups because of my error. poor thing.

They stopped the games for a while and suggested swimming. However, I COULD NOT JOIN THEM AS MY RELATIVE- BIG AUNTIE CAME VISITING. So i have had no choice but to stand on shore and watch them play. I also doubled as the photographer.

We took a break at around 12 and started snacking on the chips. They were so tired after the swim that ngiam and xiong fell asleep, and po, bird and 1 just lazed around, playing blackjack. Think we sat till 2, where they began waking and we started eating the breads and chicken, and ngiam, po and bird went off to buy drinks.

So only xiong and i was left back at "camp" to take care of the barang-barang. Had a talk with him and was quite fulfilling given that i knew some gossips by the end of it.

When the three of them came back, they suggested going to take the skyride/ go back as they were really tired. We played till 4 plus before we left the beach. for the ride and THE RIDE WAS SO FUN!!! Thanks Po for the treat!

After the ride, we went to bath and headed back to vivo. We had our dinner at carls Junior and xiong left us at around 6.30 due to prior commitments. The rest of us headed to the cinema, but there were no tickets for 7.15. So not wanting to watch the movie in tee'shirt and shorts,which will be bloody cold, i didn't join them and bird follow suit, not wanting to be a gooseberry. Seeing no more programmes left, bird left us at 7.30 after some pet-sighting and arcade playing. I joined them in some window shopping and bank visiting till 8 where i went to join my sister who was also at vivo.

THE END!!

*I was told that after the outing, most of them who wanted to tan themself (Ngiam and Xiong) was sunburnt. I also got sunburnt on my nose as i didn't put the sunblock on my face.
