An Article About Nothing

One friend after another are flying away. This Tuesday 1st August, Wise Tiger is flying back to US for his studies. He told me he will be back next year December. I still want to believe he is bullshitting, I want to believe that he will be back this December not next year. Running away from your problems is not a solution.

Another friend Little Tiger is flying off to South Africa on 12th August for 1 to 2 months depending on circumstances and maybe leaving for Australia in October again because of work. I think I wont see him for 3 months. The worse thing is he just got a girlfriend and he has to fly off for work. Poor girlfriend, they just got together and have to part for 3 months.

Mr Alien is flying off this 27th August to South Korea and will be back in November. He is going for a student exchange. Pretty cool cos he does not have to do any assignments or take any exams. He is like going there for holidays, very lucky but poor girlfriend too. She is gonna miss him a lot.

Everyone is going to start school soon. So no more meeting them on weekdays. Haha... Anyway I wont be free on weekdays also. My school is from Monday to Wednesday. Then with so much work, Thursday and Friday will be doing OTs and weekends is for doing projects.

So it will be work, school, work, school, work, school, WORK and SCHOOL. I think August and September will sucks. I just bought a camera for my projects. And I like have to borrow money from Little Tiger first to buy it. Today, Big Tiger and Wierd Tiger help me bargain for a better deal. Big Tiger got me a free tripod stand and a bigger memory SD card and Wise Tiger help me got a free screen protector and Little Tiger finance the purchase. Cool.....

Besides borrowing money from Little Tiger to pay for my camera, I borrow from Mr Wall to pay for my school fees for 2 consecutive months. You see, in life I am not afraid to have no money because I have friends, my friends dont have to be rich, they just have to be generous. Of course I have good credibility thats why they lent me money. :) They are investing in a potentially successful person. Do you all know that people born on the 23rd of October 1982 are destined for greatness....

I met my friends on Saturday and we were talking about asking girls out. So this girl ask me in jest why don't I ask her out. Ok so I ask her in jest does she want to go out with me, and she replied see how lor. Ya see what, see the weather, your mood or see when the cows can fly. Anyway, the thing about her is that she is funnily chor lor (rough). Like putting one leg up to scratch her leg, talking about toilet humour and who knows the next thing she does is start digging her nose or scratching her armpit. Can you PLEASE have some IMAGE....

Actually I didn't want to name this article "An Article About Nothing" but rather "People Born On The 23rd Of October 1982 Are Destined For Greatness." I decided against it because I find the title a bit too long.

A Rose Fully Bloom

Recently I have changed my job from credit cards sales to credit cards marketing. So now I do not have to run around anymore doing roadshows and burning my weekends. Although I got a huge pay cut but then I have always wanted to try marketing, so for me it is a good opportunity.

In the past when I was doing sales, there were times when we had to go to office to do our admin and I would sometimes look over to the other side (the sales teams were sitting next to the marketing dept). Hmmm.... There were indeed a lot of pretty office ladies there. You can see that they were women not girls. They had this mature beauty. They were like 26 years old and above.

Now I am sitting among them, though some had left already, there will of course be new people replacing them. My neighbour is one of the newbie, as we were sitting in cubicles, she and me are just separated by a cushion wall. The first time I saw her, she had this mature beauty yet display girlish charms. I always cannot resist looking at her, I look at her cos I want to know what is so special about her but I cannot find any answer. Sometimes when I look at her, I am afraid that she will caught me looking at her. So sneaky right.....

There is another one whom I call the Titanium girl. I called her that because she is the poster girl for our Titanium Rewards booklet. She has big round attractive eyes, full lips, girlish laughter and a voice like music. Perfect. I always remember the way she smile, it was bright and her eyes would twinkle. Talk to her a few times but now she has left, too bad.... Will I see you again?

After working in office for a few weeks, I spotted another beauty. I don't know where she appear from but I always see her around, should be from another dept. She always had a smile on her face. She have this girlish appearance but had this mature dress sense. The first time I talk to her was at the mail collecting point, there were female magazines for staffs but they had left, so she asked me whether she could have them. I said ok and she was so happy when I gave it to her, she was giggling like a girl. -_-" Anyway whenever she walk past my desk I would definitely look at her. Beautiful...

We also have this Ikea girl in our office cos she is the model in for our Ikea application, she has chiselled model looks, not my type but still can look right. She once had an anynomous sender of lily white roses. She distributed it around office. Stupid guy, if you want to give flowers, at least put down your name right. Waste money, waste effort.

Of course there is my lovely mentor, she is always cheerful and funky. She doesn't act and look like her age which is pretty cool. She got tattoos, change her hair colour now and then and has 2 kids, amazing woman. She is the one who brought me into marketing. I really appreciate her help. I kind of miss her when she left, although I didn't say it or show it. Hope I will see her soon in the near future, still haven't treat her lunch yet.

Now I am even having lunch often with this colleague who is 2 years older than me. She don't look 26 and has this cute dress sense, she likes to wear either pink or white. Sometimes she put on a hair band or clip her hair. She totally look like a young girl and she is often mistaken to be 19 years old. Sometimes she would look at me and laugh for no reason and when I ask her what is it about, she would just shake her head smiling just like a little girl. Cute....

Of course my office has young and pretty girls but somehow they had no appeal to me. When one of these women smiles at me, their smile brightens my day and it really makes my day. I prefer a fully bloom rose than a rose bud. Because a fully bloom rose is seen in all its glory and is at its most beautiful.

Haiz.... Why wasn't I born earlier......

Season Of Love

Last Saturday, met up with my ex-school mates at Mind's Cafe at Boat Quay. Saw this really tall and charming girl who work there taught us how to play board games. My friends told me I should get her number since she kept talking to me. Shit.... How come I didn't notice that?? Never mind... Let it be part of a beautiful memory. Just like those I have met in the past..... Bwahahahahaha......

After that we went to eat my favourite bak chor mee at Circular Road. Nothing fantastic about it but I just like eating it. For me, I don't need a reason to do something or like something. Very illogical right, sounds like a girl right. Haha.... We were actually talking about Mr Wise Tiger's love problem that night after eating.

You see he actually fell in love with a girl. Had confessed his feelings before. Remained as good friends with her. And is now fighting his own feelings whether to confessed again or not. Although before that the girl had a boyfriend, she is now single again and has show some positive signs towards my friend. He is afraid that if he confessed again, it would damage their friendship and the trust she had in him. He can't stop himself from analysing all the little gestures and things she done. To try to interpret whether those actions meant anything at all. Haven't we all made that mistake before, always trying to analyse whether someone like you or not. I gave up doing that long ago cos its too bothersome. I prefer to have a peace of mind and to be happy.

Mr Wierd Tiger told him he should just go for it and tell her his feelings for her. And stop wondering whether she like him or not. The only way to know the answer is to ask her and not try to interpret her actions. And yes! Mr Wise Tiger has decided to pluck up his courage and tell her he likes her when he sees her again. All the best dude!

Mr Wierd Tiger himself had a brush with a 16 year old girl, he didn't really said much but from what he said, it looks like its over and the reason for it was that she was too young for him. I pretty much admire his balls for daring to tell a girl he likes her directly.

Mr Little Tiger recently got to know a girl on friendster. They had went out a few times and it seems like its progressing smoothly. They are not together yet but can see he is dipped in the sea of love. Congrats to him.....

As for me..... Its just me and my stupid pride........
