my pangga got his a few months ago.. and now... *drumrolls*i got mine!!!
i got it last sunday.. but didnt want to post about it until i got it running and configured to the wireless network.. =) i wanted to post this blog using MY new laptop.. hehehe =D
i was initially looking for a lightweight laptop.. =p no need to explain why.. ehe *blush*
however, there are a lot of spec trade offs if ill go for the laptop that weighs around 1.5 kg.. some even have external drives.. uhhh.. i dont think that's gonna work for me.. i dont wanna go around looking for the missing parts of my laptop.. =p in the end, we decided to get the not so heavy, not so light.. 2.3 kg..
the presario v2000.. the latest and smallest member of the compaq presario family.. mostly it has good reviews.. but naturally if it is compared to very high end notebooks.. it falls short..
but hey.. there's always something better out there in market.. which would cost you a great deal.. i got my money's worth with this one =)
this is so great! now, my pangga and I can play network games! hahaha! right mahal? =p
movie in SG
i just read lei's blog last night.. he wrote about deuce bigolo: european gigolo..
then i remembered that it has been quite some time since we went to the cinemas.. it's quite expensive.. ehehe.. =p
and THIS is the sad part.. did you know.. that movies are released here in SG a month or two after it has been released on every country i know.. that sucks! pano na si harry potter.. huhuhu.. =(
sabi ko nga kay pangga.. i would be reading about the movie in your blogs.. even before i can actually see the movie here.. *sigh*

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
MORNING
waaaah! i have butterflies in my stomach.. at 130, we'll be having this office event.. like a quarterly gathering of some sort.. and all the newbies were divided into four teams.. each of the team will be doing a presentation.. waaaah!im not really expecting for us to win.. i just hope everything goes well.. that we wont get all nervous and mess up our presentation.. =S *nail biting*got to go! wish us luck! =) *cross fingers*~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
EVENING
elow.. just updating my blog.. with everything that happened on our office offsite..
we didnt win.. =( but twas ok.. oh who am i kiddin.. most of us were kinda dissppointed.. the team that we least expected to win, won.. how? we dont know.. perhaps coz we're in a different country.. so different standard.. different expectations.. hehehe.. just needed to share it..
our team (Jerilee, Wen Jin, Moi, Kiat Fatt, Rizza, Allvina, Arnold and Ramesh but he was cut out of the frame =S) with our costume or what's left of it.. ehehe..
but aside from that.. the whole event was great all in all.. we all had fun!!!
our team won the charades game.. we almost won the name that tune song.. i got eliminated early on the musical chairs game.. =p i was kinda surprise to see myself being so makulit and maingay.. ="> hyper ako sobra! too much sugar i guess.. hahaha! =p

the event was held on one of the ballrooms of the raffles town club.. after the presentations and games.. we proceeded to the bar of the club.. where the awardings took place..


there was also a free round of drinks c/o our big boss.. =D
there was a stage for the band.. but no one was playing.. so they just played a couple of songs..
we got to dance the macarena.. well, the filipinos at least.. kami lang ang game e.. hehehe.. namiss ko tuloy ang kada when we were just in college.. we would start dancing to get everyone dancing as well.. haaay..
the big boss danced the swing with two female coworkers.. =) nayz!
then there came a group of musicians who serenaded all of us.. we requested for them to sing a filipino song.. and they sang.. the.. hmmm.. 'may pumukol sa pipit, sa sanga ng isang kahoy'.. dont really remember the title anymore.. hehehe.. but we all sang with them.. and they sang it well given that they were locals and not really filipinos.. =D
after the drinking, dancing and singing.. it's time for dinner!
just across the street.. was a chinese restaurant that was reserved for our department.. we had the traditional chinese dinner where the food are served one by one.. they would place the next viand only when we're done with the one on the table.. daming food! i think it was seven dishes or so.. =)

this was a fun fun event! i got to interact with most of our officemates.. make them laugh.. laugh with them.. converse with them.. play with them.. do the wave with them.. brag and do some trash talk with them during the games.. sing and dance with them.. have pictures taken with them.. and lastly.. had a heartful dinner with everyone! =D
here's to the kampong spirit! cheers!

flower on the mountain cliff
this made me teary-eyed.. buti na lang nasa office ako.. i was able to hold back my tears.. (magsenti ba.. at 2pm in the afternoon.. =p haha!)
a story for those who have lost the sense of romance in their lives..
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.
Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before,has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.
I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy.
My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of brin ging romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love.
One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision,that I wanted a divorce.
"Why?" he asked, shocked. "I am tired, there are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered.
He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times.
My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can't even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him?
And finally he asked me:" What can I do to change your mind?" Somebody said it right, it's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered : "Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?"
He said :" I will give you your answer tomorrow...." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.
I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....
My dear,
"I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further.."
This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.
"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to saved my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.
You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.
You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city, I have to save my eyes to show you the way.
You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month, I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.
You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails, and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand... and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face...
Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die.. "
My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting...
and as I co ntinue on reading...
"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk..."
I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....
Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...
That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.
Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model, it could be the most dull and boring form.... flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship.
Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... and that's our life.. . Love, not words, win arguments...

i was afraid of this.. that i might be too lax because i still have lots of time for the preparation.. (calling netnet! calling netnet!)
i sent netnet a list of all our wedding to dos.. and she saw that there was one item that i have already checked.. hahaha! sabi nya 'ano yung x? complete na? isa pa lang natatapos natin?' hahaha! sad to say, yes.. =p
but we did take care of the major stuffs before we left for SG.. kaya lang.. yung mga small stuffs doesnt seem so small now coz they will all affect the outcome of the wedding.. *still freaking out*
what to do? what to do? waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!
my pangga will be playing volleyball this weekend.. he suggested that i stay home to work on the wedding preps.. hehehe.. they werent really playing against another team.. practice lang.. so i gladly agreed.. =D
hopefully, ill be able to cross out some of the items on my list..
