It is Grace’s turn today to be on MC. 2 days MC. Heard from her husband that she is suffering from a headache? Stress? Or just do not feel like working? Anyway…
Dear called me before he left. Will be joining him tomorrow. =) So excited about it!!! Do not think so actually…
Did not have the appetite to eat again during lunch. Left work at 4pm sharp, thought I had to go and try on my new uniform as well. However, I was told that mine was not really. Will have to go and try next time round. All but me from Reservations went to try their uniforms.
Went to had a bite before heading home. Tried Han’s custard puff. Thumbs up for it. Delicious!!! After that, took a taxi home. I had to rush home to go to the gym. Have to go for dinner with my family later on. It is those usual dinner organized by the temple.
Auntie Susan told me that she will be going to Cruise with Steve and family in November. Asked me to go along. I will very much love to of course. But am I able to apply for leave? I still want to go on leave in December, during my birthday. She is even willing to pay for me. =) Shall I? Or shall I not? Shall discuss with Dear about it tomorrow.
Auntie Irene and her also found out that I am going to Malaysia tomorrow. With who? I think they do not know. Mummy may be suspicious of who I going with. But who cares. Auntie Lita definitely knows who I going with. She even double-confirmed with me whether I am going with Dear when we alighted from Auntie Irene’s car.
Tomorrow have to wake up slightly earlier to pack my stuff. Better not forget to bring anything. Especially my PASSPORT!!! But it seems like I am not feeling sleepy at all. Too excited for tomorrow??? God knows…

4:08 PM
It seems like it has been quite a while since I worked the morning shift already.
After so long, today is again the day where I cannot leave as scheduled. Nearing lunchtime, I had to clear all the follow-ups on hand. There were quite a number of emails and faxes to clear as well. However, I managed to clear them before leaving for lunch.
Did not really have the appetite to eat during lunch. Just had a couple spoonful of mee-tai-mak only and 3 fishballs…
Just after I came back from lunch, Dear called. He just woke up I guess. Asked me whether is anyone accompanying me to go shopping. As spoken last night, he is willing to company me. Hehe…
I actually could go off at 5pm. However, Ein Ein had to go for her dinner break. So I left only after she came back. Called Dear then. At first, I told him he need not company me. I can do my own shopping. He agreed at first. Kept asking me if I really do not mind. Yes I do not mind my dear. Anyway, he came down to accompany me still. Funny me. When he wants to meet me, I do not feel like meeting him. When I want to meet him, he do not feel like going out.
Planned to meet me at 7pm at Ang Mo Kio. Called me at 6.30pm. He OVERSLEPT!!! Decided to head to Orchard. Asked him to go there to meet me. 7.30pm… Called me around 7pm again. This time round, he sounded rather pissed. His sister is using his toilet!!! He is unable to take his shower. I assured him that I will continue to do my shopping while waiting for him to come. Finally, he reached at 8.30pm. Before he came, I tried on many clothes. None really fit me though…
Sat out Meritus Mandarin for a chat. Expressed his thought of not going to Malaysia then. He had no money. I was pissed of course. Imagine you have it all planned, where to stay, what to do and where to go. All of a sudden, just one word and everything is gone. However, I understand his situation as well. Said I do not want to go already. But seeing me so unwilling, he decided to go ahead with the plan. I admit I was unwilling. But I want to be a more understanding and caring girl-friend as well. I do not want to force him to do things he will not enjoy doing. Yes, I am a very stubborn girl…
Went to eat Burger King before leaving. He ordered a Chicken Whopper meal. I just had fries. When the burger came, MY GOD!!! It was huge!!! I took a couple of bites. Still, we are unable to finish the whole burger. Like I say dear, in Orchard, everything is BIG!!! (A joke between you and me only)
Reached home, saw the Winnie the Pooh stickers on the table. I then remembered that I had asked Steve to buy for me. So sweet of him. He actually remembered but not myself!!! Thanks anyway. Feel like a pampered 3 year old child… =)
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:53 PM
I just cannot blog again today, in both Blogger and Xanga. Something is worng with my computer??? Or is it the websites???
Anyway, I slept very early last night. After finish blogging, Millie used the computer. I went to my bed for a rest. Told her not to off the computer after using as I wanted to use. However, when she left the room, I felt too tired to surf the web. Decided to off it and go to bed.
It was an early but disturbed sleep though. First with Judy’s message. Followed by Elaine’s. Then, Dear messaged at around 1am, wishing me good night. =) So sweet of him.
Keep having the same dream. Or is it called illusions??? But because of it, I was awoken a number of times.
Woke up at 8.30am. Headed to gym even though I was sick. Determined? Or stubborn? Whatever… Saw Mr Rahman while I was at the gym. He was heading home I guess, after a swim? Took a taxi to work AGAIN!!!
Work was alright for today. I did something which really impressed Grace. One of the guest has requested for me to send her a map, showing her how to drive from the check-point to our hotel. I surfed the web for the map with all the directions. I then complied them together, to put them into 1 page only and fax it to her. ***Good job… A pat on your back***
Dear messaged me at around 12.30pm? He could not sleep. Must have slept too much already yesterday. Called me again slightly after 8pm. Was quite hungry then. Thought of asking him out for dinner. But he did not want to. Settled for something light then.
Was suppose to call him when I get home. He messaged me at 9pm, asking me to call. So sorry dear, I did not realize that I have a message. Still, I called him and we chatted for ½ an hour. Talked about a number of stuff:
· Decided to stay in Kuala Lumpur this Saturday
· Asked him to tell me what he getting for me for my birthday this year. Kind of early but he has something in mind already. =) He did not want to tell me though. Want to give me a surprise then. =)
· Told him I got a surprise for him. Forced me to tell him what was it. He guess it right. But I denied. You shall see on that day dear.
· Asked him to go Elaine’s birthday party as well. As usual, he refused.
· He decided to go for the interview at Ritz Carlton next week.
· Asked me to call him if nobody is accompanying me for shopping. =)
Seems like we are getting on very fine nowadays. Continue to be like that and I am sure things will work out well eventually. ***cross my fingers and pray hard***
Love you my darling…
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:50 PM
Before I went to bed last night, I was already not feeling well. Dear decided to go for an X-ray first before meeting me this morning. He got a total of 2 days MC. Rest well at home please... So we did not have breakfast together.
When I woke up this morning, THAT WAS IT!!! I was down with a running nose already.
Met Dear at 10am at City Hall MRT station. He came to pass me all his certificates. He then went home when I went for the interview. It was a total failure to me. I could not really answer all the questions Angel asked me. In other words, I was not prepared at all. Actually, I am more concern about Dear's interview. Asked Angel if I need to arrange another appointment for him. Was told he is able to go down on anyday from Monday to Friday, 10am to 1pm.
Call Dear to tell him about it then. I really hope that he will go by next week. Do not ask me to call for you and arrange the interview. I will be pissed. Do not tell me to forget it. You are lazy or do not want to go for the interview anymore. I will also be pissed. You have always wanted to get a new job. So just go and try... It is really a good catch.
Went to have a drink, and did a little shopping AGAIN in Marina Square. Manage to get a top from BYSI.
After lunch, I was asked to go to and see the doctor by Grace. She even said she will not mind even if the doctor gave me an MC. I need rest. Jackie is already on MC for another 2 days. However, I was half-hearted about getting an MC. Decided that to get some medication will be enough.
Elaine has finally decided to celebrate her birthday!!! At her house downstairs only though. Better than not at all anyway. Asked me to ask Dear along. He just called me and I asked him. I know he will not want to go. I understand. He will be bored. But he can always socialise with my other friends right? Sooner or later, he will have to meet all of them also. Anyway, we did not really talk about this issue, as we know we will end up quarrelling only.
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
1:01 PM
On my way to work today, I received a call from Jess. "Jocelyn, can you come as soon as poosible because Rebecca is on MC." That was the first sentence she greeted me with. I was not at all panicky, surprisingly. Just answered her a "I will try to". She was actually kidding. She wanted me to buy breakfast for her.
At first, she asked me to get something from Qi Ji. I guess Rebecca must have ask her to do so. However, she wanted Ham sandwich from Hans. I had to drop by at Qi Ji as well as Siti wanted Ice Milo.
At Hans, saw Aaron and Adeline. I ordered the sandwich, and turn to face them. However, Adeline did not lift her eyes to look at me at all. Did you really not see or are you pretending??? It did not really bother me though.
David was not at Qi Ji today. I realised during lunchtime that he is helping out at Banquet today. What function is there??? Bumped into him when I was going for my lunch and when I came back from lunch. What a coincidence.
Anyway, when I stepped into the office, I was told that both Jackie and Darlene are on MC. Great!!! That left with only Rebecca and I to mend the office till 12pm. It was managable though overall. Adeline wanted to claim an hour at first. But when I told her that Jackie and Darlene are on MC, she did not do so.
I attended the Telephone Courtesy and Technique talk at 3.30pm. It lasted for only an hour. Goodness gracious me!!! My memory suddenly failed me. I could not remember the code for my lock. Tried afew times but just cannot get it right. Headed to the Human Resource Department to get it.
Did a little shopping at Citylink. Guess what I bought??? A PAIR OF JEANS FROM GIODARNO!!! Going to wear it to Malaysia this saturday. Dear must be very surprise then. Tried to shop for some tops as well but I did not really fancy any. Guess I will go to Orchard or Bugis on Friday to shop for them.
Headed from gym again once I reached home.
Dear called me. He has a fall AGAIN. This time round, he has hurt his hand. It is in a bandage now. Poor darling... Besides that, he is having a fever also. Kind of worried about him now. As for his on-going stomach pain, the doctor told him it is gastric. He had better take care. Otherwise, he will have to go for an operation. Heard it dear. Take good care please. Do not make people worry for you!!!
Called me again after he had finish bathing. Had a little quarrel. I know he is in too bad a condition to go for the interview tomorrow. Was just asking him to give me a reason to give the Human Resource staff for not being able to turn up for the interview. Say you are sick??? Asked me to say he had gone overseas!!! Use your brain my dear. This will show how irresponsible you are. You jolly well know that you are scheduled for an interview and you still can go overseas. To make things worse, you inform them only at the eleventh hour. This made me pissed. In the end, we decided to tell them that he has to attend a meeting and is unable to go for the interview. Maybe I can schedule the interview on another day for him. You should have come up with this reason soon right? Then there will be no quarrel. But anyway...
He will come to City Hall to meet me tomorrow at 9am. He is to pass me his certificates so that I can pass them to the Human Resource staff. We shall go for breakfast first then. Hans???
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
12:25 PM
I was awoken by Dear's call this morning. At 9am. He was already on his way home actually. But, half way through, he was asked to go back to Amara. The system had crashed and they do not know how to solve it. So poor Dear had to u-turn back. Called me again when he has solved the problem and ready to go home.
At 11am, just when he was about to sleep, he called me again. Asked me to surf one website, to find a hotel in Seramban. He has discounts for certain hotel as he had bought insurance for his car. And this insurance entitle him to the above discount.
Could not sleep already after that. Went to gym then. After that, came online to surf and just laze around at home.
Before I could call him to wake him up, he called me already. Had thought of calling him at 4.45pm instead of 4.30pm as I found out The Terminal at Plaza Singapura starts at 6.50pm.
I left home at 6pm. He at that time had only just finish bathing. Met Rasied at Hougang MRT station. Took the train with him as he was going to Marina South.
As usual, Dear was late. We were unable to catch the show. When I told him that I met Rasied, he was not very happy. Jealous??? Decided not to go on telling him what we talked about then.
Since we could not watch any show, we did a little shopping around Plaza Singapura. After that, walked from there all the way to Lau Pa Sat for dinner. As usual, ate satay. But we had something else today. Stingray!!! Not as good as the one in Serangoon Gardens though...
After that, took a stroll to Amara. Before that, he said there was a beach around in Raffles Place. I was really wondering which beach then... Are you referring to Clifford Pier my dear??? Anyway, we did not go and search for "his beach". It was too deserted a place already.
Left for home after that. While in bus 147, there was this lady sitting next to me. She was dozing off every minute. And her head keep falling into my direction. Irritating. What amazed me was that when she was looking outside to see where is she then, she can fall asleep. When she open her bag, put her hand in to take something out, she fell asleep again. Are you that tired auntie???
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:49 PM
Jackie ask me to buy breakfast for them this morning. 2 chicken pie, one coffee with milk and the other without was their order.
Dear called me while I was walking to the hotel. Actually, we planned to go Malaysia tomorrow to get the dinner set for his friend. But upon 2nd thoughts, tomorrow will be a very crowded day. Singaporeans will be there at the check-point, creating a long queue. They will also fill the shopping malls in Johor. Decided not to go then. Thought of going on one of the weekdays. But I am not able to because I have to work!!! We decided on him going to buy it on Monday and me wrapping it up on Friday night. =)
Our line got disrupted. Took the chance to call Jackie to tell her I will be slightly late. Did not pick up Dear's call while I was ordering the chicken pie. Thought of calling him back only after I got all their breakfast. However, he called me again immediately after the 1st call. Picked it up then. He thought I had fell, that is why I did not pick up his call. Silly you dear.
David was the cashier at Qi Ji. Just ordered the coffee and continue talking to Dear. Only to realise that I asked something wrong. I wanted a cold coffee without milk. But i said, "A cold coffee without ice."
Just after lunch, received a call from Ritz Carlton. They asked me to go for an interview next week. I rejected at 1st as I thought I will stay in Marina Mandarin. After 2nd thoughts, I called them back. Asked them what position are they offering me. Business Centre Executive was it. Asked them if they had other position. They told me about the Guest Relations Officer. Anyway, I have arranged an interview on Tuesday at 10.30am. Wonder if I should change job if I get it. It may reflect badly on me though. It seems like I change job in every 7 months. We shall see how things go then. The 2 positions offered does not seem very attractive to me though. But if they can pay me well, if Dear got selected, maybe I will consider.
Asked them for management position in the Front Office Department. They are looking for a Supervisor as well. Minimum requirement would be 2 months. Recommended Dear to go for it. We are scheduled on the same day, at the same time.
At 4pm, all left except Adeline. Jackie, Rebecca and Ein Ein went to the food fair. Adeline left at the same time as me. While waiting for 6pm to come, I surfed the web to find how the $25 note look like. Gotcha!!! Found it!!! Printed it out as well to show Adeline.
Went to Suntec City to look for Jackie and Rebecca for dinner. Went to have steamboat in a Chinese restaurant. The food is not bad though. Showed them the print-out as well. Going to show Ein Ein as well on Monday.
After dinner, did abit of shopping. Tried calling Dear many times to tell him the news. I am more excited than him. He called me at 8.30pm, when he just woke up. I was shopping for a pair of sandals then. Could not talk much to him as well as Rebecca was with me.
After buying the sandals, called him back and told him about it. We were heading home then.
Called Millie to go downstairs to meet me as I wanted to go and collect the CPU from the computer shop. Came back, fixed it and here I am, blogging again.
Should I go gym or cycling tomorrow? Dear just called and say he will go cycling with me tomorrow... Shall we?
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
4:10 PM
Planned to go gym in the morning today before going to work. Was rather lazy to go at 1st when my alarm rang. However, in the end, I still managed to bring myself there. Must be determine... Dear called me when I was on my way there. He told me he quarrelled with Mr Eusoff earlier on.
But the time I got home from gym, it was already 11am. Like last week, I took a taxi to work. Once I step into the office, I was asked to process the SSH reservations by Jackie. After that, was asked by Adeline to help her process the reservations that fall on the peak periods. That was not the end. After lunch, had more reservations to key in. Before I can finish the 1st stack that I took from the tray, it was already 4pm. I had to take over from Ein Ein already. Work tied me down till 8pm.
After that, waited for Jackie and Rebecca to finish doing their report. Went for dinner at Thai Express. Tried their pineapple rice. Nice!!! Found out that Grace is going to Merchant Court to work next month.
On the way back home, I found out something again from Jackie. Singapore once had a $25 note!!! Did not know such a note existed at all. Much less know how it look like...
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:47 PM
For the 1st time this week, I enjoy the pace of work today. It was well-balanced out. It kept me occupied till exactly 4pm. Like yesterday, gave all corporate reservations to Siti. Was given the chance to check her work as well.
However, 1 thing I dislike about work is Bee Hua's attitude. It has not happened only once but already a couple of times.
Firstly, she e-mailed us, with the words, "Enclosed email". Usually, when we use these words, it means that there is an attachment. However, there was none in that mail. So, as per Adeline's instruction, to email her back, asking her what is enclosed. She called me and started to talk in a sacrastic manner. Her enclosed email just meant whatever that was emailed to her by the secretary. Pissed!!! Must she be so sacrastic??? Why cannot she say in a nice manner?
Just before I left, picked up her call again. She was calling for Adeline. However, at that time, Adeline just picked up another call. Told her I will ask Adeline to call me back. "She is the one looking for me. Of course she has to call me back." That was her reply. At that time, I really feel like giving her a slap. This is what I call a BITCH.
Anyway, after work, went to pluck my eye-brows. Shopped around for a while before messaging Dear at 6pm. It was an hour already and he has not called me yet. Called me shortly after that. We went to watch Anaconda. Not a very fanastic show to me.
After that, walked to Amara. Was very angry then. Angry with both him and Amara. He is always like that. Always say to do something. In the end, back out. I am tired of telling him off regarding the above already.
As for Amara, I am angry with them for telling lies as well. It has been a long time since I hear Dear say that they are going to increase his salary and promote him. Instead, they are giving him more work load, without any increment in salary. Mr Chia is also restrictly him to leave. Selfish bunch of people. Cannot believe I was once working in that place. But it can be considered a blessing as well. Without going there, I will not have met HIM already.
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:37 PM
Today, I got Siti to help me to do some reservations. 1st time asking a trainee to help me to do things. Feel abit awkward in the beginning. But as times go by, I have got used to it already.
Like yesterday, I left at 4pm sharp. I thought that I am able to meet Dear today. But he called me, telling me that his interview was postponed to tomorrow. He asked me to change shift so that I am able to meet him after his interview at 5pm. I am scheduled to work at 12pm tomorrow. Asked Ein Ein about it and she agreed!!! Thanks girl.
Head to the gym again!!! 3 days straight in a week!!! Very determined...
After that, brought my CPU down to the computer shop to service. To my horror, the man told me that my mother still owe him $100!!! How angry I was then at that time. But I managed to put it off and act as if nothing happened.
Complained to Dear about it when he called. So pissed off. Anyway, it is nothing new. She does this to me everytime...
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:25 PM
It was another boring day today. I was able to leave at 4pm sharp. Before leaving, told Jackie about my intention to apply for a day's leave on next Saturday. Since it is on a Saturday, she approved. =)
Took a short nap at home before going to the gym. Today, I had the company of Elaine. After so long, I managed to meet her again. For a short while only though. After gym, she went to meet Junda while I head home.
Dear called me at night. His 1st question was, "How is your stomachache?" Words cannot describe the feeling I had then. It was just so nice. So nice to have your love one to be so concern for you, to ask you how are you when you are in pain and suffering.
Told me he going for his 2nd interview at Raffles hotel tomorrow at 6pm. All the best to you sweetheart. Plan to meet after that. Shall we go catch a movie?
Spent the night watching VCD. Finally, I have finished watching it. Here is the other half of the story:
All but the girl have found out that the heart she has belong to that guy's ex-girlfriend. Her present boyfriend then tried all ways and means to break the 2 of them apart, insisting that he fall in love with her only because she looks like his ex-girlfriend.
Eventually, the girl herself found out the truth. She decided to marry her current boyfriend then. However, on their wedding day, she was admitted to hospital. It seems like whenever they are holding a wedding ceremony, a mishap is bound to happen. At that day, the guy has already planned to leave for another country. However, upon hearing the news, he stayed behind. He left only after knowing that she is fine.
Being the selfish one, her boyfriend wrote a letter to him, telling him that she has passed away already. Although she is still alive. 3 years later, the guy returned and they bumped into each other on the street. This mark the end of story. Abit not what I expected though. Will there be a part 2?
{&i'll hold on till the end of time-}
2:18 PM
It was a very boring day today. Things only got busier at atound 3pm. Howver, I still managed to leave at 4.30pm.
Headed to gym. Stubborn me... I was having a rather bad stomach cramps. Only did some exercise for 40 minutes. When I wanted to continue doing the motion cycle, it was too painful for me to carry on. Decided to go home then.
Immediately after reaching home, I went to take a short nap. Woke up at 8pm. Was too sticky. Could not take it anymore. Headed to the bathroom for a shower.
Continued to lie on the bed and rest until Dear called. After that, I felt a little hungry. The pain was so bad that I could not eat at all. Decided to eat something. As I ate, the pain was gone. Begin to eat alot till I felt very bloated. Slept almost immediately after that.
Dear told me he is going to Malaysia on 25 September. His friend has a function over there. Ask me if I am able to take a day's leave to go with him. =) Shall ask Jackie about it when I go to work tomorrow...
