ckg day #93
想说的话,一直放在心上.
一旦有了勇气还有对的时间,
说出来了后是不是不该后悔了呢?
是不应该后悔的.
但是为什么我却好希望什么都没说.
总觉得说出口是个错误的选择.
一直放在心,我从来就没有想过要说.
今天我是怎么了.
为什么有了坚持的立场却没有办法去解释清楚?
这世界上有坦诚而不伤害到对方的方法吗?
为什么出发点没有恶意的我却要向问题低头?
为什么
为什么
为什么
满脑子的为什么有谁能够为我解答.
放在心上没有错对吗?
把想说的话说出来也没有错啊.
在这差别只有一线的选择,
你又会如何做个明智的选择呢?
是跟着原则吗? 还是感觉?

ckg day #92
it has been so long since i last blogged here. hehehe.
cos life has been the same everyday, every week and every month. dont wish to bore anyone who happens to drop by my blog. so i didn't write it, cos i am bored of writing the same things everyday too. hahaha.
anyway. i just came back from my first ktv session here in chongqing! rarr. three months since i last hold a mic and sing man! jenn is a happy girl today. (very tiredd too!) was on morning shift this morning at 6am. so i went to work with barely 5 hours of sleep. i get tired very easily when i dont get my 12 hours of beauty sleep lar. so i knocked off at one plus, skipped lunch and nap asap.
met my colleagues in the evening to the Melody ktv which is like 5times bigger than cine kbox? or more. hmmm. very new and well furnished place. service is soooo much better than kbox too. lol. its like when you press the service button. the crew will pop by within a minute. its really really that fast can. no lie. good mics, fantastic sound system, touch screen song pick system (no remotes to control). simply so much better than sg's. was telling them i wanna import Melody back to sg. so the package we got today is like we order dinner in there, like at least 98RMB and will get free singing hours. in other words, we pay for dinner there ahh. AND food in there is good you know. they really have a kitchen to cook de. not instant and packet. nice! :)) i'm quite impressed Melody. the whole experience is so cooool and the best thing is that i get to sing again. after like 4hours of singing.. i'm already so worn out lar. so we headed home seperately.
so i think we spent arnd 40bucks sing dollars for 5pax and 4hours of singing? worth it ba! :) got dinner and good service some more. hmmm. wanna go franchise it. hehhee.
and some time back.. there was this autumn outing for every department in the hotel and each employee gets a budget of 150RMB to spend. so front office went to this sci-fi theme park which i felt was pretty boring. every rides is so sci-fi which is so boring even after the first ride lar. i slept in most rides cos waiting time is longg and i was at work in the morning tooo. at 6am! imagine how turn off i was when i realise everything was so uninteresting. but everyone else was rather fascinated by the whole place and rides. hmmmm. i was much happier during dinner after that. glad that didn't have hotpot but had old duck soup 老鸭汤 instead. it also comes in big pot of soup, but its clear soup which means non spicy! den got peking duck to eat also. the leftover bones throw inside the soup to boil it. it works like hotpot actually, but the main dish is the peking duck. yumms!
yups. thats about all the highlights i have in nov. still at the club lounge currently, will be moving on to the next stop soon.
i'm getting tired. goodnight. :))

big roars.
i'm like down with flu again for the donkey times since i have been here in chongqing. perhaps its the weather, the changing season which i am not used to. perhaps i didn't manage to get my 12hours of beauty sleep that i always need. perhaps i am missing everyone at home and i have fallen ill due to my distracted focus.
like what i told alex a few mins ago, when one person is sick, the heart tends to fall ill too. just like how i will always get super emotional (because i am alr emo by nature) when i am feeling very lousy and uncomfortable. missing my love ones who will take extra good care of me when i am sick, missing friends who will check if i am getting better.
ohwell. perhaps its the distance ba.
i really appreciate friends like alex. who always catch me up on the msn once in a while, asking me how am i and stuffs. and amazingly, he often got me when i'm feeling down or sick. and when the new msn window is blinking and alexus FIGHT! appears... you just dont know how much warmth it has been transferred. like how you are trying hard to transferred your recovery power to me now. lol. but still, thanks alex. you have been a great friend :)
marv and barney tooo. when my private message change. you guys always seem to be on the lookout and had cheered me up simply by asking me if i am alright and well, the chats we had. xie xie ni men. :)
my bestie, stephie. know you had been busy and hope you are coping well. though we dont really get to catch up, but still emails recieved from you had been simply wonderful. just wanna say sorry too! cos i know our chats had always been halfway through bcos of hmmm. yups. but still thanks for updating me with you life even though i cannot be there with you. loves you! :)
also appreciate my lovelyy family. my mama, dad and my sister. who will always check me out through the webcam every now and then. my mama who will alwayss tell me that she cooked curry chicken for dinner, updating me with family-gossips. my dad who will always to do something more constructive over here instead of watching tv and computer. and my sister - regarding facebook.
and most importantly, my dearest boyfriend who never fails to give at least a call everyday since my day1 here. to make me feel so close yet very far away from home. thanks for believing in us, thanks for your encouragement, for your understanding tolerance and love. thanks for not leaving me out in your everyday even though i'm so far away. you are my greatest motivation. :)
thanks to all those who have dropped a line or so somewhere. jenn is happy to have you guys around.
87days more till i am back. rarr.

Alone but not Lonely adapted from ‘Life is An Attitude’.
It scares us more than anything except death being alone.
Our fear of aloneness is so ingrained that given the choice of being by ourselves or being with others we opt for safety in numbers, even at the expense of lingering in pain, boring, or totally unredeeming company.
And yet more of us than ever are alone.
While many Americans have their solo lifestyles thrust on them – people die, people go away, a huge and growing population is choosing to be alone.
In 1955, on in ten U.S. households consisted of one person. By 1999, the proportion was one in three. Single men and women accounted for 38.9 million of the nation’s 110.5 million households. By 1999, single parents with children under the age of eighteen made up 27.3 percent of the nation’s 70.9 million family households. Meanwhile, many more Americans are divorcing. In less than three decades, the number of divorced men and women has more than quadrupled – to a total of 18.3 million in 1996, compared to 4.3 million in 1970. Never before in American history has living alone been the predominant lifestyle.
Nonetheless, we persist in the conviction that a solitary existence in the harshest penalty life can mete out. We loathe being alone – anytime, anywhere for whatever reason. From childhood we’re conditioned to accept that when alone we instinctively ache for company, that loners are outsiders yearning to get in rather than people who are content with their own company.
Alone, we squander life by rejecting its full potential and wasting its remaining promises. Alone, we accept that experiences unshared are barely worthwhile, that sunsets viewed singly are not as spectacular, that time spent apart is fallow and pointless. And so we grow old believing we are nothing by ourselves, steadfastly shunning the opportunities for self discovery and personal growth that solitude could bring us.
We have even coined a word for those who prefer to be by themselves: antisocial, as if they were enemies of society. They were viewed as friendless, suspect in a world that goes around in twos or more and is wary of solitary travelers.
People who need people are threatened by people who don’t. The idea of seeking contentment alone is heretical, for society steadfastly decrees that our completeness lies in others. Instead, we cling to each other for solace, comfort and safety.
Ironically, most of us crave more intimacy and companionship than we can bear. We begrudge ourselves, our spouses, and our partners’ sufficient physical and emotional breathing room, and then bemoan the suffocation of our relationships.
To point out these facts is not to suggest we should abandon all our close ties. Medical surveys show that he majority of elderly people who live alone, yet maintain contact with relatives and friends, rate their physical and emotional well-being as “excellent”. Just as an apple a day keeps the doctor away when they were young, an active social calendar appears to serve the same purpose now.
But we need to befriend and enjoy ourselves as well. We must learn to be alone. Instead of planting our solitude with dream blossoms, we choke the space with continuous music and chatter to which we do not even listen. It is simply there to fill the vacuum. We can’t stand the silence, because silence includes thinking. And if thought, we would have top face ourselves.
Let us learn, then, from those in search of what they have not been able to find and hold: peace of mind, gentleness of heart, calmness of spirit, daily joy. Who have come to understand that to know and to love and to be of value to others, they first must know and love and value themselves; that to find their way in the world, the have to start by finding themselves.

THIEF!
theif steals. by taking away things which dont belong to you and without the permission... it is stealing.so, if by using up your personal thing without your permission, can that be considered as stealing toooo? afterall the quantity/volume just get lesser and lesser what. and that gone quantity is not used up by me.
so what to you think? steal or not steal? thief or not one?
dont tell me you cannot afford one. rarrr.

ckg day #59
its just 100more days before i am back! just hundredd more daysssss! :) wheeeeee.
cant wait to be back, i'm missing everything and everybody in sg sooo much. roars. life here is getting pretty boring without good company. without movie and dinner date with mrchan. without gossips with ame and jo. without shopping with hoer, without the usual hangouts with alex, marv, eric, fang, yc, catcat and everybody else who always stick with us. without the birthday gathering of the angel babes. without my mama's cooking and my dad's lame jokes..
i'm boredd. got addicted to the facebook finally. hah. initially i cannot view every applications in the website that needed us to hold on. it was only yesterday that i realise, eh! i can view and play with MOST of the functions already, and best of all, my secondary sch fav teacher found me in facebook. hahaha. i started playing arnd, exploring and then.. i'm hooked.
anyway, just wanna share something.. i'm not very sure if i told you before, but the GM of the hotel is a singaporean. he was the one who liase with mrs tan and gave us a placement here. and ever since i have arrived, he took good care of us.. well, everyone else did lar. but there's this special bond with between us bcos we are singaporeans mar. and its always nice to see him arnd during lunch/dinner at the restaurant. and sooo, on the saturday that had just past, my GM has left the holiday inn north chongqing. he was offered a new placement in Beijing, and he accepted cos he wanted to reunite with his family in beijing. so yupps, was invited to attend the GM's farewell party on friday and it was so touching larr. though he had only been with the hotel for 15months.. he is very very and super close to his team and understand them very well.
ohwell, currently the hotel is without a GM. and there's no more a GM to bum into when i'm having lunch or dinner and there's no more the feel of seeing someone from homeland is warmth. :( but still, wishing him all the best in beijing.
skipped dinner at the restaurant tonight. headed outside to the residential estate to buy some
bread instead. i always enjoy this kind of short trips out. hahaha. i love to be in this kind of cooling weather actually. but i'm always lazy to head out for long bcos you need to put on extra clothes and wear shoes instead of slippers. lol. this kind of weather also makes me crave for their hot and spicy shaokao! :) yumms.
2nd periodic report has been submitted. 3 more report to do before my oiap is officially over. perhaps i should start on my final report some time soon so i will not need to rush on the last week in chongqing. HAHAHA. yess, i'm thinking about the last week here alr.
time plsss pass faster !
