F1, Singapore 2008

Gotta say...it has been quite a weekend...the hype, the excitement, the craze and all, everything is now over until next year that is......and as of that-It is OVER?!?

Congrats to the three winners esp Fernando Alonso from Renault for making it to the top from being down in the pitch....The incident the previous day [Engine problems] was truly a blessing in disguise for him.......

Yesterday's race was a rather eventful one....with three crashes and one dramatic incident-WOW!!! Kinda SAD for Ferrari and Felipe Massa....I mean after the qualifying round on Sat, so many people would have bet on him and all that and to have that incident happen yesterday.....time for Ferrari to have a think over on maybe sticking to the old "lollipop" style instead of going modern....Seriously, the whole thing could have been avoided if they had the old style instead of the traffic light, na? I mean like come on....they had the race...he was leading until that incident...anyway, what's over is over.........his teammate-Kimi Räikkönen was another sad story-the fella only had four more laps to go before he crashes...the way he crashed also was horrible..the tires were totally GONER...Like totally, Ferrari was really having a bad bad bad bad bad bad bad [countless more] patch yesterday....with the way events turned out for them.....There was also that guy from Force India....OMG, Massa goes and crashes and the jsut drives off then that guy goes and crashes and gets his tyres burning?!?

Anyway, there was one great lesson to have learnt from yesterday's race:-Even if you are at the top, it doesn't meant hat you can never fall down to the bottom and the same for the other way round....Just because you are at the bottom now, it doesn't mean that you can never rise to the top......F Alonso and F Massa have proven true to these words...............

Until next year, that is all for the F1 fever! Adios F1 [for now]
And while we are at that-WTH is with Singaporeans??? I mean, yesterday the whole race was being telecast live throughout the world and yet that is how Singaporeans behave? While the lady was singing the National Anthem, the grid girl, holding our National flag wasn't even standing at attention [too much to ask?] and at that, she was turning around, looking everywhere except the front-like WTF.......??!!??

_+_=Shampoo

Read a recent post on Shams blog...gotta say-quite an interesting one haha.....it was nice knowing that he had not linked me till now?!? Haha and also got reminded of our nick name: Shamsul and Pooja make Shampoo.....am sure some people out there must be having a blast reading this .... but I guess things like these make life more memorable and eventful....Haiz...miss hanging out with him...it's been like so long.....it's been so long since went out with _______....haiz...........

Anyway, Navratri is going to start tom.....so here comes days of drinking.......water, juice and tea that is-haha........

Bored

Have been rotting away at home for the past four days....went to sis house on wed, went swimming on thurs and as for yesterday, couldn't do anything so was online, met Rac and asked her for recipe and after that, I set down to cook...Being the first time, was rather very happy...went to shop and after that I set out to do it...happy that first attempt was a success....so today, had to clear up all the stuffs since navratri is coming so I made again today and made extras in the hope of giving her but that we shall see.....haiz.....Saddening.....anyway, also helped my mom make lady's finger veg today...so happy;)


They turned out to be weird shape cos had to stuff them at once since was in a rush to make finish and clear up...haha.......now I realise it's fun doing cooking stuff-better late than never.

Sengkang Swimming Complex

Today, no call came so tried thinking of ways to make my day fun....spent the morning watching cartoon online.......the poor kid keeps getting killed and coming back to life!!-haha it's stupid but rather funny.....after that, thought of going to Funan to get Bro's present but wanted company so asked Doink along but she had cleaning to do so in the end, thought of going Gym [have not gone there at all since it opened] but didn't wanted to go alone especially being the first time, was scared of making a fool of myself..but was rather suprised that it was so empty, might be going there soon if no calls come....so in the end, made my way to swimming pool.....it's heavenly, the chilling water and just swimming ....it's damn fun...so the whole afternoon just drowned away in the water......

Anyway, the following are the pictures I took on my way back, it's rather boring walking back home alone, so enjoy :) :-
The slides....They are so freaking fun....let's start level by level. The first level has the green free fall and the red "forgot the name"....it is rather fun....and the safest among all....secondly, there is the competition slides...they are damn painful especially at the curving part cos you literally 'fly' before you land back on the slides...and never to lay down and slide, you would get a sore back....finally, the third level, the two covered curvy curvy slides...they are damn damn damn headache!! You would be going round and round and would end up having lots of fun, bruise or a bad headache!!! But the whole thing is still damn FUN!!!!

The baby pool....the best part about it is the bucket, this part has been taken off from the Jurong Swimming Pool but it is quite fun as you would always see people waiting in anticipation in one line for the water to fall and when it falls, it falls hard!!!
The shower fountain........people would always be walking round and round it for no apparent reason...
The whole fun package-the slides behind and the baby pool infront.....the best part about it is the bucket....
The indoor pool....On Sat and Sun, it is always flooded with coaches and students learning swimming....didn't manage to get a pic of the outdoor pool but it's nice as well.....
The long way home-it is so super duper tiring when going home after a swim!!! If only they had a shuttle service...haha but it's nice to walk home especially if it is windy......

Future Plans

Met this retired teacher today and the words that she said to me were so cool....all of a sudden, the hurdle I had in front of me seems to have disappeared. Now, thanks to her, I have more choices to do such as:
-Bonded IR Free Loans???
-Going Overseas........
Haven't really discussed with them yet anything but I guess I myself have to come and become accustomed to this fact first....

No matter what happens, everything has been predestined by the one above and it is just a matter of time before everything destined appears before us....all we have to do is to wait patiently and be grateful for whatever is happening currently lest the upcoming.....

Career Path

I have decided never to be a TEACHER!!! Especially not one of Primary school.....Kids these days are Monsters, Devils and Terrors.......they really scare me! I shouted myself hoarse today and they could even listen.....For the first time, I felt so freaking angry that I banged the table until my hand was bloodshot for the next hour.....I was in so much pain and yet they continued....all I felt like doing was strangle their necks [OMG!!!] I mean, they are freaking only 6-7 years old and the way they behave.......!!!

Saw this e-mail and realised it is so freaking true, not only for the sense of employee but as a general person overall...haha:-
Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. They keep their private life separate from work and take complete responsibility for their actions and their situation. They don't make excuses; they just take care of business and expect everyone else to do the same. Those who don't, co- workers and managers- will have to endure the Scorpio wrath. They don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is wrong with any given situation. And if you tread on their fire be sure to expect retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition lying down. If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word and don't break any promises-Scorpio is keeping track and building up some heavy resentments against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it until too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure to know. Scorpio employees will react towards those around them exactly as they are treated. When they get what they want, they will be very accepting. If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio co-worker, be sure to treat them respectfully and act professionally. Give them challenging work that allows them to utilize their awesome self-confidence and courage.

Fighting Back

I gotta say tat I felt hurt, to hear her saying such things...like the two always say-m usually quiet and if such things happen, it is a miracle and yet, with her, I am always like a transparent sheet? I mean yea...I have commitments as well, but can she be saying that to me when all things are being set as conveniences to her? Majority Rules?
I think my mom is right-am totally not cut out for it-even now the B***H is back to haunt me to pay back to her $5. Why shud I when the amount I got was wad I had agreed on
? Why should I listen to her and like a fool depart with the money...the issue is not about money but it is abt her.....thankfully for me, for some reason, I had saved the SMS-Thank Goodness and for the first time, it felt good fighting back...!! Bring it on....haha ...come back again and I shall continue on retaliating!

KIDS these days are MONSTERS!!!

RESULTS!

Got back results today. Am so happy with them though not very much cause the sickening GPA didn't improve at all.....the disappointment hit so hard that is hurt a lot. All I wanted was for it to increase just significantly to make matters ok but I guess some things are not meant to be? Also, I feel disappointed in myself as well as feel I have disappointed them. Now, the direct questions they are asking and the answers are coming out as a No, I don't only feel as if letting them down but am feeling so scared myself. I guess I expected too much out of myself. In the end, I am nothing but a dumb person? Now, even I, myself am so unsure of the next step-all I can do is pray to GOD that may he bridge the missing step for me!
For some people, happiness for them is satisfactory but others want all those around them to be happy before they can feel the satisfaction. Sometimes, the feeling by other people may not be expressed out or they are unable to do, what else would they expect from you then?-Do your very best all the way. What's the point of current happiness when the biggest decision lies in the final thing....why be happy now or expect something when u are just happy for the current situation?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NISA!!!

The big '2' is here to stay now for U! ;)

Outing wif Van n Mita

Yesterday, thankfully no calls came, so was able to go and meet my two dearies after nearly 8 months. I guess the last we met was for Mita's b'day celebration and after that was this outing. In the morning, accompanied my mom and from there, went over to Nisa's place. There, sat and listened to her tell her script as well as tested her....haha as I did that, I was like-OMG, how to remember the whole of the chunk?
Anyway, at the end of it all, she did it-So am very damn happy for her-CONGRATS BABES {both of u got it :) }

Anyway, met up with Mita to go and look for Van's present. Upon doing so, we realised that we had totally no idea what to buy for her.....we went to the different type of shops then we went ino Nike, I remebered seeing the beautiful lanyard on Rac's blog and went to look for it but no more and couldn't find it elsewhere. Next was a cap form Quiksilver, though we were like, yea she would like it, we didn't know the colour and design to buy. Then we walked in the back alleys of the shops and suddenly found this beautiful shop selling t-shirts. The lady there was very nice, she was toally into suggesting for us the t-shirt to buy and in the end, after casting away "Always Late" and another t-shirt, we got her a " I only loook Innocent " t-shirt.

Anyway, after that met up with Van and we went to Breeks for a late lunch and early dinner. We had left the cake with the manager there and had asked for it to be brought out after the food. It was a totally 3 months belated borthday suprise, but one nonetheless. Haha. Anyway, as we were eating, Nisa joined us and as she met Van, ahha she wished her happy birthday. Van had a stupid expression on her face. Haha anyway, after we had ate and sat around talking , all of a sudden, the manager along with the staff came out with the cake and singing a borthday song. haha as they were doing that, Van was lloking aroudn to see who they were singing for and that's when me and Mita wished her a Belated birthday and thankfully we did so, if not the whole thing would be one big mess as she was about to say that "it's not my birthday".

Anyway, after that it was nothign but laughter as Van was startled and all and there was one particularly funny thing that tickled the both of them non stop. "Mita said-Did you suspect? and I replied-Who would suspect after 3 months?" and for some reason this tickled both of them all the way home.

Then, we just walked around talking and all......Got to learn that Mita has a BF!!??!! and Van liked a *** because of his dancing...haha it was non stop talking and all....but its really fun meeting them after long time nad everything and just sitting and talking.....we walked to Clarke Quay and boy was the night life happening, it was so packed because of the moon cake festival adn then we walked ahead along the road to see the happenings....not much since it was rather early but there was one particularly unique place-Clinic C or C Clinic......it was a very interesting place, there were hospital beds and wheelchairs, people getting drips and the bar being an operation theatre-had seen this kind of things only happening in Japan.

Van safeguarding the candle.

The ice cream and cake combination we came up with.....

Beautiful Fountain at Clarke Quay

A Gracious Society, Singapore-this is how gracious we are. This pregnant lady boarded at Dhoby Ghaut and alighted at Hougang. All the way, nobody bothered to give up their seats for her. Even though there was an empty seat nearby, a guy rushed to it as she was making her way there.

A Week Holiday

Holidays really flash by your eyes....in a blink, it is already Friday. It's like-what the hell have I done this whole week...Nothing except for the fact that I have discovered two awesome Korean dramas on Channel U but the irritating thing is that the characters have been dubbed to speak in Chinese and it is so freaking irritating, I rather they speak in Korea-haha, it sounds like they are constantly cursing!!!

Haven't really got to watch much movies.....
Mission Istanbul: it seems like all movie makers are covering the topic of Terrorism....but gotta say that both the actors are so suave looking[V and Z].....as always-haha.......haiz, anyway, I guess the biggest disappointment is Kismat Konnection: was so looking forward to the movie and what happens in the end...it's a damn big and huge disappointment, nothing that great about the movieand especially Vidya Balan-OMG...she is so plain looking and all and as comapred to Jab We Met, I am sure another actress would have done a great job-why did they have to get her?? As compared to Shahid, she is so Y--K! Another one is God Tussi Great Ho: it is a copy of ....Almighty[forgot the front part].

And it's so unfair that all and everyone of them have watched Singh is King except for me-which brings me to the sad part, that even if I wanna go, there is no partner for me: anyone interested to waste money and watch again.

Nothing much as apart from that, except for the fact that the expected disapointment still hurt badly....I don't know why I can't come to face with it...she is always doing it, I should have grown accustomed to, no? But yet again, here I was happily awaiting to end up being heavily disappointed......Life!
But luckily, there are two other dears for me and am so excited about meeting with them! Especially I hope that the suprise would actually pay off-I know that it is rather very belated but hope that the dear would be happy! Can't wait to meet - Van and Mita =)

Learnt to upload video all thanks to Rachel-Thanks a lot babe :D
