"There is a magical quality to true love. It's not without cost or pain and agony.
Love comes with sarcrifice. You have to love the flaws in the person more than you love the good qualities,
and if you can live with the flaws, then you can have true love."
Jamie is my name
I am a strong girl. It's time I stand on my own feets.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD!
I'm 20 years old and single (sigh!). But I'm happy to be alive.

Lunar 7th month 9 course lunch @ Sentosa Construction site. A group of 'Happy Us' taking photo by Siloso Beach. Perhaps, that's the best thing about working at site. When you get too stress up, slip your way through the noisy environment to the haven with plenty of sunshine. That should refresh your mind for a while.
One thing I learn from that day lesson: Company paid for the drink. Don't they look high and... maybe you should see them live. That will explain ALOT MORE. Trust me.
Site has portable toilet which is expectedly unclean. We held our bladders until we have reached Underwater World for the toilet. We were there for awhile and took the chance to view FOC item, like the sea turtle pictured above.

Listen to good stuff only? NO WAY. The dory was indeed fishy (spoiled).
I can't deny my love for IKEA's meatballs. Simply irresistable.
This is the 3rd time in 2 month that we had a feast in IKEA Queensway.
We keep coming back for more, more and MORE.

Last night, I had dinner buffet @ Timbre with my loveliest classmates. Althought it was drizzling but it didn't dampen the atmosphere there. During the meal, it feels like we have gone back to school days, eat and work on project concurrently. I miss you people already. Well, Timbre has nice ambience, the usual day is opened for drinking. Buffet is served only on Sunday evening. Affordable price, limited varieties yet acceptable standard to our taste bud.
There's a high chance I'm going back there again! It's worth to try out. =)

My Birthday 2008[ 8:07 PM ]
N.B. Not to forget, my beloved classmates who celebrated with me @ Vivocity as well.
I done something crazy on Sunday. I signed up for Great Eastern Women 10K.
Maybe, it's time to kickstart some basic training and get fit again. The race is on 26th Oct 2008. I have more than 2 month to train. Wish me all the best, to a healthier ME!!!

Enjoy the delicious photos.

THIS IS BREAKFAST.
A little shocking, I know that. But my colleauges insisted that's LUNCH.
One of the male concluded he will be broke just by feeding me. WTH* I'm not rubbish bin.
Something you probably don't know about me. Personally, the accuracy of this test is pretty high. For those who has facebook account, try this quiz, yeah.

If I have a choice to the ending, I would have done it differently.
Finally, things had changed for the better for the clique. We met up yesterday for dinner, despite the long wait alone. I believe it's all worth the time for it.
We might not exchanged many words during our short meet up. The feelings pretty much the same, we still have each other no matter what happens. Be it near or far, we're reminded often of one another. I LOVE YOU GIRLS!
In fact, I fell in love with Clarke Quay somehow. No, it's not all about dancing and drinking at the popular nightlife scene. Perhaps, you will find out its beauty in regardless day or night. Take a slow stroll with your loved ones, friends or family over there. Should you feel upset, don't jump right into the river. Pour your heart out to them by the riverside.
No outsider will take particular attention to you. That's the bonus. They probably think you are drunk and ignore you. =)
I guess it will be a short entry for today. Got to knock off now. *peace
p.s. If it's meant to be, there's no running away from it.

Network down[ 6:25 PM ]
Sorry people. My network was down lately, that should explain my absence online for weeks. I wrote a list few day back. Then, I realized they are still my beloved friends or even buddies. Perhaps, it's just me not knowing how to maintain the connection. Deep down, I miss every single of them very much.
Indeed, I have shifted my focus fully in my career. Something I don't want to lose or regret for not doing my best. To my friends, don't be offended or upset if I seem distant from you. Please remember, I always think about you.
My List (Not in order, definitely)
a) Melissa b) H2O c) DPFM 01 d) NCC, you know who you are.
p.s. cherie/weiling: I'm not upset about us anymore. =) drop me a msg anytime. For my former classmates, sorry I havent been spending time with you.
Give me some time, hopefully by end of this year. I will balance out Jamie's time only with my social circle. In fact, I have some concern that I don't know where to start or end it. Don't worry too much about me. I will be strong and work hard.
That applies to everyone I care for too. Let's do it together, okay!? =)
It's a beautiful Sunday, isn't it? Please be assured that I will lend a listening ear if you ever need me.

Once again, it's Saturday.
Yes, a day to celebrate the end of working week. Unfortunately, I'm on shift today, right now. By right, I should have knocked off at 12:30pm. Thanks to my darlings at Tender dept, I have to stay until 2pm.
They're the one who tender for the job, I'm the one who do the shit later on. ALRIGHT. They do SHIT PART 1, I do SHIT PART 2. 可怜吧！*cries.
After 2pm, Joc and I are bringing our Lord, Chris to cut his hair. He got this unbelievable uncle hair style that we seriously cannot *tahan. Did I mention I have my fringe cut flat and straight? Like 中国娃娃 or 日本少女, that's up to you to decide. =)
Last Wednesday, I went to SP NCC FO BBQ. I thought they must be surprised at my changes. It's not that bad, right? C'mon, I'm entertaining to be around. Eugene must be, "少来啦！"
Zhen Long, Jing Kai and Eugene commented I have strong Malaysian accent. I can't help it, people. I working in a place with 50% Malaysian workers. 极够力喔。*wink. I already miss that night at Kallang Sea Training Centre.
I miss you* whoever you are, whatever it is and...
CHRIS IS MAKING ME 吐血！臭男人！(I must complain to Joc now.)

Making a comeback[ 12:50 PM ]
[ FIR - Ni Hen Ai Ta ]
I'm listening to this song right now over the radio. 10 minutes to the end of my lunch break. I know it has been a month long wait for everyone. Thus, I decided to take this chance and thanks my loyal readers. (I LOVE YOU!!!)
Well, I'm not exactly a writer. My life is not exceptional beautiful. At least, I know life starts to bloom well ever since I've graduated. 2 weeks ago, I attended my Graduation Ceremony at Singapore Polytechnic. A moment to remember, a lifetime momeries. Over there, we've a group of friends, a team of lecturers and many more. I really miss those days with the people I have associated.
I'm especially thankful to what has happened that brought me this far. To some, I may have exceeded their expectation. I'm glad I did and I will continue to try my best.
What's left behind is history, lesson to learn. What lies in front of me, is present to learn as well. I can control my future, or so I believe. =)
To my dearest friends, may the days ahead of us be bright like a Sun.

I was browsing my camera album when I came across a few photo of roses. That's when I realized I didn't blog them in my entry. I'm not sure if you remember I used to work at CK Tang Lancome counter before starting a full time job at Sysma.
Well, Sandra was still working there but her role was different now. She works as a flower girl, period. For each flower a customer receives, it comes with an exchange voucher for this whitening foam. It's mild and gentle to the skin, I have tried it. I love it actually.
To be really nice to my crazy we-should-dump-the-flyer buddy, I bought her CHOCOLATE donuts from donut factory. We'd craving that very day. In return, I took home 2 stalk of gorgeous white rose. I attracted envy stares along Orchard Road, some even approached me where to get that. Oh, attention seeker.
You probably thinking roses don't SUCK UP Breezer. Veggie = Alcohol?
In fact, I tried to water it and preserve its beauty (at least for that moment).
Beautiful in an artistic way. I do know I'm abit strange. SHUT UP!

"The Bible"
Inspiring quote of the day, from Clement.
"Another day to learn new things and reinforce your old skills. Don’t give up.”
To Wai Yiu, thanks for the already known fun fact No.1 of Chinatown that day.
“Chinatown’s Chinese name is derived from the buffalo carts in the past.”
17th March 2008[ 12:24 AM ]
It was a long long time ago, I was thinking of place to backpack in Singapore and Shamsul suggested the following:
Pulau Ubin Sentosa Pulau Tekong (Higly Recommended) Yio Chu Kang Ang Mo Kio Orchard Road Geylang Red Light District (2nd on the list) Beach Road (3rd on the list) Dover
“Tekong is a good hideout. Ubin is not bad either, safer than Tekong. If you want mainland, Bukit Timah is top of the list. You can always seek refuge at Gurkha Camp. Their apartments not bad, no lift only.”
How sympathetic is that from him. It doesn’t end here.
“Well, Ubin, you can do animal hunting, visit the swamps, go fishing, visit the villages. If you want a challenging package, go Tekong. You can play CS & practice your shooting, and camouflage capabilities. No insurance though.”

I heard that it’s 白色情人节 today.
At the same time, we celebrated Dad’s belated birthday at Tao’s Restaurant. I haven’t managed to get hold of the photograph we took. (I will update on this)
I find today’s date familiar, seriously I think is someone’s birthday. Who is that someone… give me some time to figure it out. I know it’s not any of my business and why should I even bother in the first place.
NG HAN ZHONG!
It’s his 20th birthday, perhaps Vel remember it. That’s for you to find out why. (sounds scandalous) They’re clean, I mean no dark secret.
On second thought, I can’t be sure of that myself. *smile. I hope she doesn’t run after me with a parang upon reading this. I know she won’t, she loves scandal.
Oops!
13th March 2008[ 11:52 PM ]
“… I’m damn full okay. Stop pushing food to me.”
My colleagues are forcing me to eat more, more and more! Boss gave us a treat at York Hotel (Penang Buffet). It was a surprised treat (my concern is that whose car I’m taking).
(OH FCUK!)
A wild guess could lead you to the painful truth of my lunch break.
“Jamie, you be taking Mr XXX’s car. Haha. You’re newbie, sit at the front.” (Boss’s balls. Okay, that’s crude.)
Pardon me, alright. I seldom write like this. It’s a bad thing to be a newcomer. Queenie and Adelin just joined the office few days back, why can’t they take the Boss’s car? I need no vomiting before indulging in buffet. (argh!)
Jocelyn was the sly one. *shakehead.
Up to date, I’m still distant from my friendly colleagues, except for Sharon and Eloisa. However, they are quitting the company after working at least a decade here. Bad news.
After slogging hard at office, I went to meet my all time favourite people: Pei Qin, Louis, Marie, Yong Lun, Lilian, Way Quan, Si Jie and Min Yee.
Happy 21st Birthday Louis!
Pei Qin arranged us to meet at Ju Ju Steamboat for the joyous celebration. If only, I didn’t have the buffet in the afternoon. The food simply irresistible and Way Quan gave me some of his share. Oh, I must mention this, okay.
They served this special flower tea (free flow). It’s totally oh-my-god! PERFECT!
Then again, how can I live my life without them?
I LOVE YOU, POLY MATES!
12th March 2008[ 11:49 PM ]
2 words: Strange and Awkward.
Kenny Roger reminds me of someone else. Good memories, of course. I shall not elaborate.
We’re having Kenny Roger at Marina Square, exactly where I spotted my deaf brother and my petite sister-in-law (she’s good complexion).
“She doesn’t smile…” commented the clique. I found out later that my brother was an hour late. (she’s angry lah!)
Dinner ended with a nice “chick” chat with Cherie, Vel and Sandra. I decided to overwrite Weiling, with Vel. More “angmoh” flavour. She picked that name herself, I’m interested to know the meaning behind it.
10th March 2008[ 11:49 PM ]
Erica met up with me for dinner at Bishan (Pizza Hut). She’s late, later and very late than me. I was starving, crawling on the floor of the crowded J8 and screaming for help. But I was ignored.
Jacinth spotted me alone. I think it’s a good sign. I don’t mean anything in particular.
Let’s do a quick check of my life. (I’m good at changing topic, right?)
I’m still single (sigh!) and happy at work. My friends are alive, so am I. I knew Daric online, he’s one sexy-talk man.
“… you look hot in tube.” I like that compliment. How flattering.
Up to this point, which sentence is a false claim? (Answer at the bottom)
Answer: I’m a drama queen. I won’t reveal answer easily. It’s not a scam.
8th March 2008[ 11:46 PM ]
I don’t like what she said to me, period.
I actually went to club last night, Ministry of Sound. Definitely, with my oh-so-happening clique. *wink.
7th March 2008[ 11:44 PM ]
This day has arrived, like finally.
I’m not quite into the situation, am I? I hardly remember the plot layout that I have been staring at for the past 4 days. Could that be a sign on me not suitable for this job? I have yet to find out, stay positive Jamie!
*va-va-vroom. I died once on the first day at work, I don’t want to die again on the road. My boss drives a Merc (be specific, I don’t know which series) and it has good engine. It sounds better than clock ticking. An impatient driver he is, at every turn he makes a swift “initial D” movement. Beads of sweat, dizzy spell and headache are kicking in. I held tightly to the safety belt whenever I remember.
In between the visit to different site, he actually drove off when I have one foot outside the car. The door wasn’t even closed. He’s a risk taker. It happened not once but twice. He did that on Li Lian too. She’s our attachment student from SP aka my junior. She’s actually a 1988 baby, like me! A typical Leo she is, chatty and lively, I like. (I’m straight, believe me)
For your information, the site is unbelievable. I’m looking forward to the completion of The Glass House. No, you’re not mistaken. It is what it’s named. Cool, isn’t it? However, workmanship is crucial to ensure stability of this house. We provide quality work, no worries.
We visited two completed project around the same area. I’m learning to appreciate the art of construction and design.
1st house: They used sea water to run water test for the swimming pool. It looks like a crocodile pond to me. Can you imagine yourself swimming in it? How creepy. Oh, I hope I can squeeze in a walk in wardrobe into my future HDB flat unit. Impossible.
2nd house: Aerospace rich guy bought 2 plots and share a common swimming pool. The exclusive feature is the water fall at the edge of the pool. Horizon lining and you can observe stunning sunset. Both plots have different interior design, very comfy.
I know you can’t feel exactly how I feel at that point. I promise to brush up my limited vocabulary. But some things are beyond the description of word. (crap!)
5th March 2008[ 11:43 PM ]
It’s norm that I won’t be on time, at least for this month itself. I hope I will survive the trial I’m going to face sooner or later.
I have started moving into the office, I brought my Bible, mug, slippers, jacket and more to come… I spent the entire morning sorting out my notes and dividing it into chapters. *Ta dah. My survival technique for measurement is all inside this thick ring file. Should I label the front with “The Bible”? (hmm…)
Jocelyn is adapting well over there. No, I’m not struggling especially I have The Bible now. My colleagues are SP Alumni, youngest Alumni is 14 years my senior. He’s a Singaporean.
For your information, the company hires mostly Malaysian. Jocelyn and I broke the “tradition” they had in the recent years (like 4 years already). We’ve 5 Singaporean out of the 20 staffs in the office.
I’m in Project department, everyone is a workaholic. How do they manage to work under the loud radio 93.3 FM? (I feel that my head is growing bigger, not the brain but the explosive.) It’s only a matter of time that I explode. *ba-bomb.
“… how’s tender department? I’m feeling sleepy after lunch. Yawn.”
I can’t remember what she replied, somewhere along the line that we’re in the same shit. I’m glad that I’m not alone here. We text each other in the morning, during office hour and after work for the past 2 day.
I mustn’t regret the choice: I have rejected working in CPG as Property Executive. (Damn it.)
Guess what, the boss is bringing 3 other colleagues and me to our construction site located at Sentosa. I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel (of misery). It hasn’t been all that bad, has it? Wait a second, what misery? I have no idea either. I’m keeping my fingers cross for the better day to come.
3rd March 2008[ 11:42 PM ]
“I’m late, again!”
Not to anyone’s surprise, I’m aware of that obvious piece of fact about me. I’m not a punctual person. If I have to be on time, I will… end up ahead of the scheduled 8:30am. “Let’s do a time check, 8:40am. 10 minutes late won’t kill my first impression, right?”
At least, that’s what I thought (to myself).
First SMS of the day, Jocelyn wrote:
“… I think you’re in Project department, they brought me to Tender department. I feel like we’re back in ITP… “
For some who have not heard of Jocelyn, she’s my attachment buddy-turned-buddy classmate-turned-colleague-turned-good friend. A long chain of relationship, I know. At one point, it sounds complicated.
To my horror, I wasn’t introduced to the company history, people but to get my ass glue to the seat and start work. I was dumped a stack of construction drawing with a layer of dust on it. *sneeze.
“What a way to die on my first day of work…” I wasn’t prepared for measurement, not that I know I have to. I asked on the day I signed my appointment letter. Thankfully, I didn’t waste my school fee for the past 3 years.
My utmost concern was my lunch break.
Where are we eating? Who are we eating with? What to eat and what to do?
Eloisa cracked it up really well. “I worked here 18 years leh, You only first day already have problem what to eat. Aiya, Everyday try one stall lah, left to right, right to left. Haha.”
Good idea. I will consider it. 姜还是老的辣！
Time past real slow, the sound of clock tick has put me to sleep. I have lost count of my yawn.
p.s. Cherie babe is going Hong Kong until 7th March.
p.p.s. My horrible brother is coming home from Hong Kong tomorrow.

Kavana, Will You Wait For Me
I need to talk with you again Why did you go away All our time together still feels like yesterday I never thought I'd see a single day without you The things we take for granted We can sometimes lose
And if I promise not to feel this pain Will I see you again X 2
(Chorus) Cause time will pass me by Maybe I'll never learn to smile But I know I'll make it through If you wait for me
And all the tears I cry No matter how I try They'll never bring you home to me Won't you wait for me in heaven
Do you remember how it was When we never seemed to care The days went by so quickly Cause I thought you'd always be there
And it's hard to let you go Though I know that I must try I feel like I've been cheated Cause we never said goodbye
And if I promise not to feel this pain Will I see you again X 2
(Chorus) Cause I miss you so, and I need to know Will you wait for me?
(Chorus) And time will pass me by Maybe I'll never learn to smile But I know I'll make it through if you wait for me

DAUGHTRY, OVER YOU
Now that it's all said and done I can't believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath I fell too far, was in way too deep Guess I let you get the best of me
(Chorus) Well, I never saw it coming I should've started running A long, long time ago And I never thought I'd doubt you I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know I'm slowly getting closure I guess it's really over I'm finally getting better And now I'm picking up the pieces I'm spending all of these years Putting my heart back together
Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you
You took a hammer to these walls Dragged the memories down the hall Packed your bags and walked away There was nothing I could say And when you slammed the front door shut A lot of others opened up
So did my eyes so I could see That you never were the best for me
(Chorus X 3)
Well I got over you I got over you Cause the day I thought I'd never get through I got over you.

bonjour[ 11:30 PM ]
Since 20th onwards, I am working at CK Tang lancome counter until my full time job at Sysma. Job scope? Redemption counter assistant. I'm paid to use skincare product. At the end of the assignment I get to bring the redemption gift home. Sounds good to you?
I tried the eye cream and my dark rings got lighter after 2 tries. It's amazing. I had 4 other fabulous temporary partners too. Sandra is my bitch aka buddy too (below). We worked the same shift, meal together and we talked nonsense. Hui Fen, she's one fearless petite girl. She dared the counter manager, to get the security guard to confront her for violating the rule.
Sarah is sweet looking but super ah lian. Definately, a nice friend to girls. Wan Ting is gentle and tall. No, you ain't fat. The full time staff are humourous lot. They took care of us and in return we do a nice job for them.
Apart from the usual condition of the job, we have to put on heavy make up to conceal/highlight whatever it is on our face. Standing at the Lancome counter, we are the representative of the company.
IMAGE. That's the word. My poor face suffered okay. Now it's better with the skincare product sample I have got from someone. I'm saved.

HAPPYBIRTHDAYMRANGSUANPINGERIC!
Happy birthday to YOU! You're borned in the zoo... (lalala)
My elder brother used to disturb me with this song on my birthday. I love my brother, he's always funny and take good care of me. Therefore, my boyfriend/hubby must be as good as my brother! I'm proud of you BRO!
Okay, the point for today entry is my buddy's birthday. We could get a HUGE discount but we got the 10% off staff discount. Better than nothing right? Here's the food we had. I apologize for the poor quality of photograph.
Garlic butter mussel. I like chilli mussel (tried it in Perth, Australia).
Seafood platter for two. Bigger portion, better quality to Fish n' Co.
Here's my buddy. He looks hopeless but he hell load of good results. DAMN IT!
Lunar 7th month 9 course lunch @ Sentosa Construction site. A group of 'Happy Us' taking photo by Siloso Beach. Perhaps, that's the best thing about working at site.
