One Raffles Quay

Today is my 1st day entering into One Raffles Quay though I used to work in the opposite building, Hong Leong Building. 

The place is so damn posh as compared to Hong Leong Building. You need to exchange for a pass @ the visitor booth & only with the pass, you then can enter the lift lobby. In additional, I just realised that UBS occupies a couple floors of One Raffles Quay and UBS staff have their own lifts. Cool right? Oh well, after all, have to understand, it's UBS!

  This is the lobby whereby we exchange for pass.

This is the lift lobby.

Plus, from MRT station, the whole linkway is sheltered. Oh yes, did I mention about the shops? There is Celede, Coffee Club, Spinelli & 7 11. Lazy? Just lunch at one of these outlets, though kinda expensive.

A little information about One Raffles Quay.

The office towers, with the gross floor area totaling approximately 1.59 million square feet, will be built to the highest international standards and will feature large floor plates specifically designed to meet the requirements of leading financial institutions and multinationals.

The 45,000 sq ft subterranean mall will be connecting the office towers with Raffles Place MRT, thereby providing a valuable pedestrian link to the area.

It is the first premier commercial development in Marina Boulevard, the new financial district of Singapore.

I just love the building! Can I work there? I wish!

Recommendation: ****

The actions were good esp Donnie Yen. Never had he disappointed us before. The only disappointing character is Louis Koo. Thou handsome but he was always beaten up. Anyway, worth catching if you loves fight, blood and actions. 

I quit my job!

YEAH!

I quit my job after a day! I hate the working environment! I hate the men who look at me droopingly. YUCKS! The feeling sucks!

So I am currently a full time job seeker. LOLx… 

Anyway, I have a job interview tomorrow. 

8th August 2008 – Congratulations!

367 days to 8th Aug 2008, the day I shall be congratulating you! The day you have decided to get married again! 

Should I congratulate you or should I wish you all the best? Will you still maintain your love statement to her till 8th Aug 2008? Will you finally grow up after this 2nd marriage? Will you have kids and live happily ever after? Will you stay faithful?

The above questions came as a big QUESTION MARK to me.  

But I seriously hope that you have found the love of your life. After all, you had waited for her for years. Your ex-best buddy, Mr A had confirmed it months ago.

I have nothing much to say but CONGRATULATIONS!

I don't know how can I forget you totally when the scar on me reminds me of you. The so-called "hatred" I had for you, I just cannot simply remove it from my mind. Love for you has faded as time goes by. You had became my memories instead. Things happened for a reason. The reason of you re-appearing in my life again is for me to do some soul searching on what I want in love.

I am of view that you did not love me as much as claimed or even before. If you did, you would have accept me as who I am without asking me to change this and that. This isn't my definition of love but it maybe yours. 

Maybe she came to you as your prefect girl since you love her so much. Maybe she is really the one for you. Maybe all these are fate. Maybe, maybe, maybe……………………………………

My mind and heart are full of ungathered thoughts which can never ever be able to put them into words. So I guess I shall allow them to remain as where they are supposed to be. Maybe something are best to be left unspoken. Maybe time will tell.

Once again, all the best to you & CONGRATULATIONS! You were be removed from my memories only when my hatred for you ceases to exist. Definitely, not within this year.

Anyway, you taught me a lesson which I had never learned. I had since taking things slowly as I know that the faster the "thing" comes, the faster it will go away! In additional, I still feel that we should love our partner as who he/ she is. By changing the person, he/ she will never be the one we 1st met and the 1st we fall in love with. & of cos, I think I deserve to be treated as a Princess gf and not a slave gf. I prefer to be appreciated. I deserve to be loved just like a normal girl cos I still believe in fairy tales.

THE PRINCE & THE PRINCESS LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

P/S: I may have found my prince. He is just somewhere around me. I will leave the rest to him & fate.  

How to be a better couple?

1. Be realistic about each other.
Do not try to turn your partner into something he or she is not. Let's face it, guys! There's only 1 Pamela Anderson in the world, and even she has had her implants removed! Give your girl a break and understand that her physical appearance is NOT going to change overnight with the help of a few facials or treatments. And ladies, Brad Pitt has already been taken, so you are gonna have to do with what your guy is like! Chill out, love each other for what you are. There is more to your partner than what meets the eye.

2. Always talk things out.
Now guys, I know this is not your favourite pastime or mode of resolving issues, but u know what? This works with the gals. Don't make assumptions about each other's feelings. Learn to express yourself better so that you partner understands what you are angry about, or hurt about, or even happy about! When you stop talking to each other from the heart, it's the beginning of the end.

3. Do stuff together.
Make an effort to do things together. Do some sports or involve yourselves in some shared activities; something both of u enjoy or are interested in. It could be as simple as watching movies together, or just strolling hand-in-hand down Orchard Road. Watch soccer with him once in a while though the green patch on TV puts u to sleep in 3 seconds. And guys, do give in if your gal asks for another day to window-shop, rather than suggest that she go out with her girlfriends for "that sort of activities" instead. If you are spending more time with your friends rather than with your partner, it's a warning sign that you are drifting apart!!!

4. Meet each other halfway.
If he agrees to throw out that rotten T-shirt with the "The Rock" print, u shouldn't kick up much of a fuss if he asks u to keep your room tidy… There's gotta be a little giving and taking in a relationship, so learn to meet each other halfway.

5.Show ur love
Buy her flowers or candy or perfume every now and then, even if u have been together for 5years. It's wonderful to continue showing someone that u care for him or her. Cook him a special meal, paint him a Valentine's Day card. Knit him mini-socks he can't wear
(like for decoration purposes), buy him a packet of milk for breakfast, or pack his wardrobe for him… so he knows u can still be romantic and loving despite having been together for quite awhile.

6. Respect each other.

Stop making jokes about her hair or skin, or whatever it is u love to laugh at. Ask urself if she thinks if its funny. And if he has an inferiority complex about his height, stop ogling at tall guys and make him feel worse! Love is about respecting each other's feelings and being sensitive to each other at all times.

7. Bury the past.
Stop bringing up the past. Gals..don't bring up the happy things
about u and ur ex to ur guy, it would jus make him jealous or unhappy. And guys, don't talk about the happy times that u had with ur ex or mention about her in ur every other sentence as it would make ur gal feel unhappy and she might think that u saying all this b'cos u are gonna get back with ur ex or not interested in her anymore.

8. Sit on ur jealousy.

All of us go thru' spells of insecurity at the beginning of the relationship, but don't translate that insecurity into jealousy. If u're gonna go through ur partner's mail and cupboard, and eavesdropping on conversations, u know something is wrong with u!!! Jealousy is like a poison that slowly spreads thru' the relationship before finall y killing it. Trust ur partner; love has to have trust in it.

9. Keep ur commitments to each other.
If ur partner is standing u up all the time and cancelling dates and breaking promises, u need to talk! If u're in a relationship, make ur partner ur priority and don't disappoint them if u can help it. It's really terrible when someone promises to take u to dinner, and then calls to cancel it. Don't make promises u can't keep. If ur partner starts to feel that he/she is not important enough to u, u may jus lose him/her.

10. Be honest.
Honesty is not scowling at how awful she looks first thing in the morning, or telling him that he has the biceps of a fly~! When we say "be honest", we mean expressing ur feelings clearly, not being bitingly cruel. When u're hurt, say so, and when u're angry, tell him/her, w/o getting hysterical. If u can't be honest with ur partner, who can u be honest with? ?Love is also about honesty, and a relationship where no honesty exists probably isn't worth it!

For all the couples on earth! 

I HATE going to work!

The 1st day was a drag!

The environment sucks! The place is so dirty & dusty. All are men! Look at me as if I am naked! 

I just HATE it!

Bear with it just cos of the money? That is what some of my friends say. Why not they work in that place on my behalf? I hate going to lunch! I hate going to the toilet even!

I JUST HATE THE PLACE! 

Interpretation of my dreams

To see children in your dream, signifies your own childlike qualities or a retreat back to a childlike state. It is an extension of your inner child during a time of innocence, purity, simplicity, and a carefree attitude. You may be longing for the past and the chance to satisfy repressed desires and unfulfilled hopes. Take some time off and cater to the inner child within.

 

The loss of a child, signifies fallen hopes or a project.

To save a child, signifies your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed.

Weird dream….

I had a dream. I am not sure what the dream is trying to tell me. But it has something to do with my job – which has been bothering me for a pretty long time. 

I dreamt that I was working in a kid's gym. Though life wasn't as easy as before (as compared to office job) but it did bring me the happiness and joy which I yearned for. The innocence of the kids made me feel at peace. After all, kids are the kindest souls on earth. They will not "bully", they will not betray & they are not fake. Either they like it or they hate it! Isn't that great? Oh well, kids are so difficult to handle.

Anyway, what does this dream tell me? Or…. WAIT!

Am I wanting to have kids? o_0 

Love is…………….

I was reading a friend's blog when I asked myself what is love……

LOVE IS…………

愛不能要他/她成為一個你想像中'完美的人。。。

但爱卻可以使你找到一個幫你成長的他。。。

不要老是說'這是你/我的錯',何不就抱荣对方。。。

不要老是說'我希望你這麼做',何不尝试說'我感謝你的一切'。。。

为何我选择不放弃你,因为我舍不得。。。

我真的舍不得,我无法忘记和你在一起的每一分每一秒。。。

你叫我给‘我们’一个机会。。。

我相信你。。我真的相信你。。 

Priority or option?

I read this from a pretty lady's blog whom I chose not to named her here.

"someone become a priority in my life, while I was just an option?"

I may not know what had happened cos I seriously don't know her personally. She just happened to be my gf's ex bf's sister and a friend's ex-gf. 

Coming to think of it, I am always an option while they (as in my ex bfs) became a priority in my life. Do you know how tired it is? Do you know how hurting it is? 

When will I be a priority instead of an option?
