By My Side - David Choi

Heard this song during hungry no more feast during Angsana College's FOC 2012. It's a really sweet song! =D

I'm just listenin' to the clock go tickin'

I am waiting as the time goes by.

I think of you with every breath I take, 

I need to feel your heart be next to mine.

You're all I see, in everything.

I just wanna hold you, 

I just wanna kiss you, 

I just wanna love you all my life.

I normally wouldn't say this, 

but I just can't contain it.

I want you here forever, 

right here by my side.

All the fears you feel inside, 

and all the tears you cry, 

they're ending right here.

I'll heal your heart and soul; 

I'll keep you oh so close.

Don't worry; I'll never let you go.

You're all I need, you're everything.

I just wanna hold you, 

I just wanna kiss you, 

I just wanna love you all my life.

I normally wouldn't say this, 

but I just can't contain it.

I want you here forever, 

right here by my side.

No one else would ever do.

I got a stubborn heart for you.

Call me crazy, but it's true; I love you.

I didn't think that it would be, 

you have made it clear to me.

You're all I need.

I just wanna hold you, 

I just wanna kiss you, 

I just wanna love you all my life.

I normally wouldn't say this, 

but I just can't contain it.

I want you here forever, 

right here by my side.

Covering temp #9

Last day at work! Reached office early and managed to chat with melissa! really rare chance. slacked the morning since there was hardly anything for me to do. went for lunch at ghim moh market with melissa, wl and may. the carrot cake was really good! love it. had my xiao guo mian which wasn't too bad too. The guy really good customer service! He helped me take my utensils, chilli sauce and even asked me to take it slowly and be careful before passing me the tray of food personally! Melissa left slightly earlier for her induction and that was the last i saw her. :(

Finally a nice pretty polaroid with this girl, after the several attempts. Gave her a choice of polaroid to keep. Thought she'd choose this cos it's the best out of all. But.. She chose to give me this and her logic was that, it's better to let ppl have a good impression to keep.

Left office at 650pm after finishing her cup noodles! scenery still as nice and it's so different since i first started working there. the building's so tall now! Time flies and it's really the last official day already. But, at least i completed one task: saying bye to suh huey! haha. 

I'll be back! =D

Covering Temp #8

Had breakfast at holland drive with my parents. Didn't know it was the market till i saw the hakka noodles stall. shared kway chap with them while each of us had a bowl of wanton me.. headed to NUS afterwards and seriously, SSC is so inefficient. made us wait 1 hour for 10 mins of signing agreement. =.=  bought subway for wl and drove to utown for mum to see the place. was back to office at 1045am. Quite slack before heading out with melissa for lunch!

decided to eat kway chap again cos mel wanted to eat that. had a good chat with sufen and mel. was quite amaze when sufen said i don't look like an average borderline pass student. haha. was telling melissa about my outing before getting back to work. 

Left at about 630pm with wl to old airport road. this girl hasn't tried lao bao tau huey before so.. we had tau huey for appetizer. we shared hokkien mee, char kway teow, chicken wings and satay for dinner. hehehe. headed back home after that cos she was having a headache...

BY2 - 你並不懂我

New song from BY2. Lyrics are so real reflection of many relationships.

So many a times 沒兌現過承諾 傻瓜才當溫柔. I must be the 傻瓜 then.

And I think 你並不懂我 怎麼能愛我 is so so so real in life...

BY2 - 你並不懂我
作詞：Mr Mars、彭潇明、楊眼眼
作曲：潘沁珈


原來不愛說 以爲你懂得
每次說著說著 都是我哭了

我擦幹眼淚 慢慢習慣沉默
朋友聊起 我就說一些別的

你總是哄我 說永遠不分手
可是我 還不確定會停留
終於我看透 沒退路的角落
不閃躲

你並不愛我 怎麼會懂我
你從來就不曾 在乎我的感受
沒兌現過承諾 傻瓜才當溫柔
難過時候 還假裝笑著點頭

你並不懂我 怎麼能愛我
曾經我也以爲 有你我就足夠

直到發現 原來我不過
是你用來炫耀的 玩偶
我好難過 你並不愛我

你總是哄我 說永遠不分手
可是我 還不確定會停留
終於我看透 沒退路的角落
不閃躲
你並不愛我 怎麼會懂我
你從來就不曾 在乎我的感受
沒兌現過承諾 傻瓜才當溫柔
難過時候 還假裝笑著點頭

你並不懂我 怎麼能愛我
曾經我也以爲 有你我就足夠
直到發現 原來我不過
是你用來炫耀的 玩偶
我好難過 你並不愛我

Covering Temp #7

Helped ky in the morning before uncle came over to take over. Had a short but insightful chat with ky while manning counter. I think we only get to chat when we are at the interview centre! haha. Lunch was initially w melissa and wl to biopolis, but... Joyce initiated lunch! Thus... we went to Rochester Mall's obolo for lunch as joyce had some voucher.

I ordered their wild mushroom pasta set lunch which comes with soup/salad, iced tea/coffee and  cake/macarons. It was a gd lunch with sufen, candy, may, wl, mel and joyce though the service was abit poor.

Then, the unit got their welfare for this month. Been some time since I saw such nice welfare since the pringles month. haha.

 Headed to Millenia Walk to meet Ben for dinner. Honestly, I can't remb the restaurant's name. He reconmmended this ramen which was not too bad, just alittle too much of msg.

 I love the gyoza! It wasn't too salty or too plain and it was really crispy!

 After dinner we decided to walk to MBS through the helix bridge since I was only on it once. We saw some light show that comes on every half hour? don't even know if it's considered a light show.

The view from the higher floor of MBS. Didn't know the view was so magnificent. It's like... the whole world is beneath you. something like how it goes in the song 'top of the world'. ;)

Walked the Lions Bridge to Gardens by the Bay. Awesome night view of this place and the breeze was really cooling and nice.

 This guy, he's never been to the Gardens yet. So we just walked around the outskirts of the place. Sadly, my parents were on the way to fetch me so we had to leave.

 We walked back to MBS and saw this pledge thing. You're supposed to push the button if you like this line from the pledge but as singaporeans, we decided to just support this campaign!

My parents came pretty soon and I left him to go home by himself. aww :(
Anyway, it was quite a good night out with him seeing the attractions of Singapore that I hardly get to visit frequently and chatting with him about random stuff. hehe. Next outing after we settle into uni! Seeyou in NUS! =D

Covering Temp #6

Headed to NUS early morning. Despite the queue, the waiting time was pretty short. Got my registration done in about 15mins. Managed to see christie and benjamin so we continued chatting in the hall.

Look at our photos! They pulled all our faces....

Met Ansabel and Louise for matriculation fair. We took a super long time to get out of the fair. No shortcuts, just one way out -  we had no choice but to finish the fair, seriously... Cabbed down to city hall to meet my parents for lunch at The Handburger before taking a train back to work.

Immediately was AM interview so I didn't have time to touch my desk or computer at all. The interview was pretty draggy and quite a few candidates only got to go in 1 hr after stipulated time. >.< 

Wai Lin was very nice to buy me siew mai to keep me company for the interview. May bought me custard bun too which i don't have a photo of. 2 of them so sweet. Don't look at how ugly the siew mai looks -  the xin yi behind means alot to me. ;-)

The interview ended really late. Only managed to go back to office at 715pm. Waited for wl for awhile before we headed back home. It was a good chat in the train. =D

Covering Temp #5

Melissa and Wai Lin wasn't here today and many were sick. Malini and May were having flu and Joseleen had a mild fever. It was alittle slack in the office as there was only the email to clear. Got junxian to clear since he needed more practice and honestly, he really took his own sweet time.

I was actually abit stunned by some msges. Wanted to try lighten the mood of our conversations but apparently, i sounded sarcastic. I totally had no intention of being sarcastic but trying to make things sound positive. Oh well, things don't always sound right through words. But glad that i was just alittle surprised and the whole thing was nothing serious. 

Joyce initiated lunch and thus, junxian and my plan of going to Biopolis changed to going to the coffeeshop with ivy, sufen, candy and joyce. Was telling them about my my car incident while walking there and about the psychologist positions during lunch. Was chatting with sufen about uni mods too. oh and maybe the uncle see i small size or what, gave me alot of mee but gave sufen super little. lol 

After lunch, junxian showed me a video before the two of us fell asleep. He continued clearing the email while i was looking at my modules. Wanted to do the AP shortlisting but had to wait for uncle to finish clearing emails. He seriously took his sweetest time. 120+ emails he took the whole day to clear but still didn't finish.... Started AP shortlisting only at 545pm. Managed to clear and print out the shortlisted ones before preparing laptops for interview tmr. Quite happy w my efficiency though it could have been better. only judy, suh huey and ivy was still around when i left at 635pm. 

Once I stepped out of the lift, the sun was glaring right at me. But, the scene was pretty. I've never seen it so bright at such a late timing before. It really cheered me up. hehe. 

Covering Temp #4

The day started off with wl msging me to help her photocopy forms only to realized that she sent the msg wrongly. Reached office ard 840am and started preparing for the interview. Left at 930am for grange road. Unfortunately, it wasn't all smooth sailing: needed to photocopy the forms for the panel, timing on schedule stated had a slight error n a traffic jam at Napier road resulting in us being late.

Met a KC senior who was a candidate and talked to her. great knowing her and catching up.

Apparently back in the office wasn't too good for wl too. But despite that, I reached back office at abt 12 and we made a super impromptu decision to go for lunch at tiong bahru plaza.

We ate at BBQ chicken since she needed to use her groupon voucher and it was quite a nice experience being able to walk off without paying! Haha. We cabbed back afterwards since I needed to help with judy's interview. I managed to convince wl that I'm paying for the cab fare - achievement unlocked.

Kinda fell asleep awhile at the interview centre but luckily not many ppl there. Slacked awhile back in the office while waiting for uncle JX to clear email before I helped wailin. JX and I had a mini durian party in the pantry at 6pm and I took polaroids with Wai lin and Malini before leaving the office.

Today overall was not too bad, less tense and not as much work. Other than the many hiccups along the way. Epiphany: We are always burdened and shouldered with work. Sometimes, we just need to get a bag to help us carry the weight. Friends in life are just like our bags; helping us share our burdens. And that is why I don't mind going all out to help her this week, even though it was stressful.

And i must say, this DEAR girl is so nice to me. My breakfast and lunch all 包-ed by her today. Not forgetting dinner the night before and the many other times we had dinner together.

One of the reason why I am attached to this place is because of the people, especially wl. The things I learn, her randomness, lame jokes, life story gave me a different perspective to life as it is.

I cannot express how glad I am have her as a good friend and how she always pampers me by treating me food. I think I lost count of the number of times she treated me to meals. And honestly, her excuse that she will wait for me to 赚大钱 before treating her back makes totally no sense and is deemed invalid after being used for the nth time. But it will be something and someone I won't forget. Thank you for treating me so well! And yes LOVE YOU!!

P.s Remb our convo abt using words like dear and <3 u? Hahaha

Covering Temp #3 - Eighteen Chefs

Started the morning by having a short chat with Candy and Kam Yoke (originated from Candy's qn as to whether I passed my driving). Thought I would have nothing to do for the morning but end up, I helped Wai Lin go through her application forms. 2 set of 63 application forms made my eyes really tired and my brain totally drained. Wanted to close my eyes so badly just before lunch but luckily, may and wai lin decided to go down to take a look at the durian puffs. They left first leaving me in the office and I decided to just call Jun Xian along. 

 We went down to the 5th floor to have a look after which May queued up to buy durian puffs for us while Wai Lin, Junxian and I headed to the market for lunch. I finally had my Hakka noodles! hehe the aunty gave me my cheese tofu upon request again. Think the 2 aunties can recognize me alr! I am a loyal customer k!

After lunch was back to the office where I left for interview centre almost immediately to help JX set up and guide him at the same time. Went back supposedly to help Malini but she said not so soon.. SO.. i continued with Wai Lin's database before leaving at 245pm to the TV room. Met the scholars ( they were really pretty!) and slack around listening to Sufen before i received an SOS from JX. 

Headed down imm to the interview centre and stayed there afterwards til about 5pm. Luckily it wasn't anything major that went wrong. Clear emails and finish Wai lin's database by 630pm. Wanted to put my head down to rest awhile when..... Suh Huey said the file in the thumbdrive was empty..... Thankfully, the file was saved in the desktop of the laptop she used.

While leaving, Malini said she don't mind joining us if we go somewhere nearby. Thus, Wai Lin, Malini + me headed to Tiong Bahru Plaza's Eighteen Chefs. Have not been here before so it's a whole new experience. We queued for about 20 mins before getting seats...

This is their sides menu. Their sides are rather creative and cheap.

The two of them suggested that I order the student meal which was super worth it! I got to customized my own pasta and the meal includes ice lemon tea and ice cream, all just for the price of $6.40! After adding an extra ingredient (salmon), it cost just $10.90! Plus, for student meal, topping up an ingredient entitle you to one more free ingredient! Super good deal!

When we arrived, this was displayed on a big banner outside. This is their newest additions to the exciting menu they already have. 

 My lemon tea which tasted average. Don't know why but it tasted abit like coffee initially.

 My Creamy Mango Pasta with Mushroom, Salmon and Chicken slices. This is one of the better pastas I have eaten so far. Their creamy mango sauce comes with just right sweetness and fragrant smell of mango. It is not like normal cream sauce where you will feel gelat after awhile. I really love the sauce that i tried to finish all of it. The salmon was not of any inferior quality as what you might get for such a price elsewhere. It was finely grilled and the original sauce of it was retained. Generally, the ingredients and sauce complimented each well and I really liked the whole thing. It is a definite must try for cream lovers!

 This was Wai Lin's grilled chicken pasta. I didn't get to try it but from the picture as seen, they are pretty generous with their portions..

 Malini's Beef with raisin rice. The beef tasted not too bad; the marination was of some standard but the meat was alittle too thick. Malini had some difficult cutting it into smaller pieces which can be quite annoying when all you want to do is enjoy your dinner.

 Malini reconmended this sambal cheese fries. It was delicious when it was piping hot but got alittle gelat when you eat it cold.

 We sat around for awhile to chat and went to the toilet. And then.... Wai Lin thought she lost her phone. so we went back to look for it and the staff happened to find someone else's samsung phone and returned it alr. End: the phone was in her bag. =.= Headed to the mrt and took some photos along the way.

 On the escalator down to the mrt! hahaha. girls can take photos anywhere! I look really shagged though.

Overall, today was quite a good yet tiring day. I had a good chat with Jun Xian and I think I sort of broke the ice already. Looking forward to getting to know him better. Also, the night out with Malini and Wai Lin was also something that made me felt good and I really appreciate their company. Oh and not mentioning, I had a good and fulfilling dinner! =D

Entertaining Forum

Some random person took my photo and put it up on a car forum. When I saw it, I was initially stunned and alittle annoyed by it. As I continued reading, I was really pissed by it but after awhile, I thought it was qutie entertaining. 

So apparently, all these guys were coming up with reasons how I actually passed my test like... I wore hot pants, or maybe I wore nothing.. And cos I mentioned in my blog post that I mounted kerb during warm-up, they were commenting on it as well. So, I replied humbly that I wore a touching-the-ground jeans + polo tee and it is definitely possible to pass with 2 or 0 points. And then, I got this reply where the guy asked if I would like to practice driving using his car. Honestly, I feel this qn is alittle creepy, as if there were some sexual connotations behind. Totally went like wth?!

Then, one of the guy commented that perhaps the tester is my relative. Seriously?? Just so as to answer your qn, I don't have any relatives that are TP testers and don't think there will ever be? Maybe, one day I might get acquainted with a tester and for whatever reasons he make me his god-daughter or whatsoever, I'll let you guys know.

Yes, practice so much still can strike kerb on TP day. Who wouldn't be nervous before a test or exam? And for those of you guys who are interested to know why i striked kerb. First, I was already slightly late due to delayed transport so i was panicking. then, i requested for an old car which took quite some time to arrange, making me more panicky. Lastly, the instructor was asking me so many qns in the car which caused me to lose my concentration. Thus, i forgot to reverse before moving out of parallel parking. 

And the guys started to question my ability to drive. No, I don't have any other stuns other than striking the kerb on TP day. Thanks for reminding me that I have to be extra careful so that I can show people like you that girls can drive well too. 

Okay, then it became personal. The guys were commenting how I looked ugly and bad. With all honesty, I don't think I look pretty but I don't agree that I look bad. Whatever you see on the blog, it's just an ordinary girl leading an extraordinary life. Everyone is pretty in their own ways. I don't have the looks but I don't criticize people as ugly or claiming that they have inabilities due to their gender. 

Some random guy actually said I look bad. Okay fine, I conclude that I am just an average-looking girl. And afterall, what has looks got to do with driving? Because pretty girls who wear sexy pants will have a easier time during test? What logic is that?

This comment was the one I wanted to reply the most. Quite hilarious actually. This guy thought that I am an imposter of the blogger who passed her TP with 2 demerit points. Seriously, who wants to impersonate another person for such minor things? To this guy, kcalina is me. 

This last comment was the funniest comment I saw. 2 demerit points for not checking mirror; I should have checked my make up. Firstly, I don't wear make-up. Yeah I am not good-looking and I DON'T put make up. Criticize for all you want but girls who wears make-up may not be pretty and those who don't wear may not be ugly as well. Secondly, if I were to check the mirror for my makeup, I think the tester would have failed me cos i suck at putting makeup.

Conclusion: to all the guys who think girls can't drive for nuts or that girls can't do well for TP, you're wrong. Girls can absolutely pass their TP test with 2 DP  or even 0, not because they wore some sexy pants, or wear thick make up, or not wearing anything, or because the tester is related to them, or because they look extremely good-looking or any other factors other than skills. Stop looking down on girls because what guys can do, we girls can do a good job as well! Guy who think that girls can't do it, you need to get a life because we are no longer in a masculine-dominated society!
