Passing Phase
Yeah. Everyone tells me it's a passing phase. But how long does this phase take to pass? Before it ever passes, I think my will is wearing thin and dying. Wonder if i still have the strength to pull myself together after each fall and rejection.
Just awaiting for that one chance was so difficult. Maybe I didnt really screw up, just that I cant convince them why i want it when i cant even convince myself that i want it. But still.. is very sian.
Thanks for not consoling and leaving me to my comfort. I am fine.

Me Love to Bake
It has been ages since I last baked. My last attempt was bread and butter pudding but it was such a failure. I dont bake with a proper oven but using a conventional roaster instead. Although it can be used to bake cookies, i have ensure that the bottom of the cookies is cooked by turning it during the baking process. Ask my mum to buy me an oven but she always tell me there's no space to put. Boo Hoo Hoo.
Today, i tried something simple and quick. Chocolate Chip Rock Buns! :) Bring back good memories huh.. it's one of those first few food I made during home econs. lol.. :P
What shall I attempt next? Chocolate Souffle or chocolate fondant? :P

IBS
My IBS(irritable bowel syndrome) is back again. I have been frequenting the toilet extremely often. Now I cant eat, I cant drink... cos anything into my mouth will come out from the other end almost immediately. IBS has no cure to it and its easily triggered by stomach flu, stress or spicy food or dairy products. And there are only ways to ease to symptoms by taking those Mg powder and diarrhea pills.
Sheez... I hate IBS.
Sheez... I hate IBS.

Post Olympics Withdrawal Symptoms
The 29th Beijing Olympics has finally closed its curtain. Sigh. Another 4 years before 2012 London Olympics begins. This is surely one of the most watched and most controversial Olympics ever. Think China did quite an excellent job and for sure, it has done the Asia proud, being one of the few Asian cities who have hosted Olympics other than Tokyo and Seoul.
Never watch so much on Olympics before until today. I used to watch only swimming... those were the days when you were a fan of either Pieter Van den Hoogenband (aka the flying dutchman) or Ian Thorpe (aka Thorpedo) before Michael Phelps started breaking world records in the swimming arena, like nobody's business.
So how? No olympics to watch liao. *Sob*

baby sister
I can still blog, provided i dont type too "violently" on the keyboard. Demure and gentle is the way.
Oh my baby sister... I think by now most people know I have a baby sister who is 9 years younger and still in sec 2. Oh yes, the baby in the family and she is lucky to have an elder sister and elder brother who are ever so protective of her. But i dont know why i keep stumbling onto her "love messages", really unintentionally. Oh god.
Once, I was using her computer and her msn was on. Then a guy S messaged her "hie darling..." I was like opps. Haha. She even indicated her relationship status as "in a relationship" on friendster and her msn nick sounds so "fishy" and "in love". All right I closed one eye.
On another occasion, while my mum and I were on the way out from home, we saw baby sister and another guy strolling in the rain, walking home from school. Madness... the rain was quite heavy and the 2 kids actually walked quite a distance from school back home, without an umbrella and very drenched. And when baby sister saw my mum, the first sentence she exclaimed," He's not my bf!". Tsk tsk tsk... I was laughing at the corner but I closed one eye again.
Just now, as usual, baby sister returned home late from school due to her cca commitments. Mum got worried and asked me to call her friends on her mobile which she has left it at home. When I switched on the phone, a few seconds later, one message received, send by a guy D. I read the message that said " Hey darling, I have reached home. *muackz* I love euu. Message me when you reach home k?" Tsk tsk tsk... and I dont mean to read her message lah.
I cant help worrying but I dont think she will like me to know about her "love affairs". And even if i want to question her about it, I dont know how to approach her (generation gap? lol). I just hope she will not betray my mum's trust in her... and if you were me, how would u react?
Kao... I sound like a lousy sister. lol.

Finally the 2nd!
Our 2nd medal finally arrived after 48 years of long wait! Of cos... Sg paid quite a heavy sum (taxpayers' money) for the silver medal and it does take a long time to see the fruit of labour of the FT sports scheme. Congrats to us n the team. It's our very 1st post-independence medal.
I did not bother catching the whole action. Afterall, the results was so predictable. I watched part of it, hoping Sg would not lose by too much of a margin since the Sg team is the overseas branch of the China team. lol. It would have been a more joyous and glorious celebration if the medal was won by non-FTs.

It would have been a more joyous and glorious celebration if the medal was won by non-FTs.
And the controversies about FTs representing Sg is forever going to prick us. Recently, I have came across a news article about Tan Howe Liang, our first medalist, was from China too. However, the article failed to point out the differences. Tan did not come to Sg because he was talent-spotted in China to be a weightlifter in Singapore (he migrated here when he was 4) as compared to our FTs, they came here because of their sporting career and to fill in the demand of talents in the sport here, given attractive monetary incentives. Plus, during Tan's times in the past, almost all the Chinese were migrants from China, so there's hardly any "pure bred Sgreans" so as to speak.It's just different. Calling Tan an FT? Then in this case, he should be rewarded with those monetary incentives under the FT scheme, rather than having his name mention on papers every 4 years.
I came across another blog which found an interview of Li Jiawei on China National TV that reveals about her inner thoughts on her sporting career. Nothing on Singapore,the country that gives her the opportunity to train and compete internationally. Not even a hint of gratitude. So what if she is our flag bearer at the opening ceremony? So what if her birthday happens to fall on our National Day? It's not making her "more Singaporean" or feel like one. Tsk tsk tsk... anyway, i think she is overrated, looking at the way she played during the Olympics. The latest FT, Feng Tian Wei, has in fact played much better despite her inexperience.
Nonetheless, lets hope our Sg team wins another table tennis medal in the upcoming individual match! woohoo! FT or not, the medal still rightfully belongs to Sg cos we bought the medal with our money. Heh.

Ouch!
This is one hell of a horrific Olympic moment for this Hungarian Weightlifter. His elbow is so badly dislocated, from back to front. *Gasp in horror*!

So Wrong
I seriously think its easier to buy an air ticket to see him in Japan than to see him when he is back in Sg. Wtf. I haven seen him for ages b'cos his dad has glued himself to his baby Sky. Seriously, it's really wtf! If you think that I am currently enjoying his company right now, my friend.. you are so wrong. lol...
It's so tiring to run and hide from the dad for almost 4 years, like teenagers worrying about their parents knowing their puppy love. At our age, you must be thinking that it's hilarious and I find it very amusing too. But now, I find it exasperating, extremely. Gee. Especially when you know you have an injured bf and you cant see him even though he stayed freaking 15 mins away from you! And no.. i dun blame Sky. I guess he feels just as terrible.
Fine. Waited for 1.5 months.. Wait and wait and wait...until there's no more excitement...

Anyway, i appreciate my buddies for trying to talk to me. But I am just not in the right mind at the moment to do any talking and absolutely nothing is going in the right direction for me. Screwed up interview and all kind of fucking shit. Cant believe I hit quarter-life crisis so soon. Lalala....
Oh yeah.. was quite pissed after the interview. Maybe with myself and maybe with the interviewer as well. All i can say that these people over there seems to me, are all blinded to the reality outside their posh offices. Pui....

Just Some (Boring) Updates
I have to blog something in case people think I am dead, together with my blog. :)
I am still jobless and I am gonna be the last one to get a job. How exciting. And thanks for the consolation, my friends. But you will never ever understand how it feels like or rather how i feel. It's very tiring to rest too much. Ironically, people who started early are feeling tired and wanted to rest. So no work also die, got work also die. I rather work cos' i need some self-confidence back, i want a life, i need moolahs to go for retail therapy, i need a career to ignite my ideals.
I am feeling so downright depressing and I hope to be left alone. When I am angry, upset, I like to be left alone. In other words, I disappear. So it's better that I keep myself calm and quiet, rather than I get emo and slashed at you furiously? Including those who like to moan to me, better not do that to me now cos thats no point in doing so and if you still want to moan, strongly encourage to have a blog where you can express yourself almost freely (no-no for anti-gahmen and racist remarks). Now you know Momo can be such an anti-social freak who does not like to be consoled.
The only hopeful thing is going for interviews. But I need a real hope, which means moving on to 2nd interview. Everything stops at 1st interview mean uncertainty. Therefore, there's no need to go for too many interviews (like me). I have already rejected 2 interviews b'cos I simply do not want to waste time. I only go for interviews which can offer me jobs that I know I want and I can do well. It makes me more decisive on what I want. So hopefully there's calls for 2nd interview soon for S soon and I wont screw it up like what I did with EM (That was a severe mistake that led to my downfall.) As for tmr, I am having my 2nd interview for a gahmen stat board position. Hope they wont ask tough questions ( I hate those scenarios kind of question. How do you resolve conflict? and blah blah...).
Momo! You have to be confident! Crap your ass off. (See.. no jobs=Lonely=talking to yourself more often=near insanity)
Sometime I really wonder, is choosing what you like equate to being fussy? My mum thinks I am fussy, the fortune-teller thinks I am fussy (and a predicted ambitious career woman). My definition of a good job is where I can learn something valuable out of it and it's a job that I will take w/o having to think twice about accepting it, of cos best if it comes with good pay, good career progression and near home. It's the experience and skills you picked up at work that is going to bring you far and beyond. Now, I want to be fussy also cannot. Haha.
And thanks ST for the headline news a few days back about the job market slowing down and not so rosy anymore. That's like rubbing salt on my wound. I think ST is really slow. Sg's media.. tsk tsk tsk. (Thats why i rejected SPH interview.) 'Nuff say about jobs and my gibberish, cynical nonsense... hell of sickening topic. Can you imagine that will be the most talked about topic in your next 40 years to come other than talking about your husband and children (if any)? Lol.
The only good news now is Sky is back from J-land after 1.5 months. Thanks to all my friends for your well-wishes! He is okay now but the road to recovery is still long. He came back yesterday slightly past midnight. Thanks dearie for bringing me many gifts and stuffs I have requested him to buy over there in J-land, especially so many Kose products. :) But the greatest and best gift.... is himself.
