朽木百哉のブォグ

I was in this huge mansion with grey walls, marbled, and a flight spiral stairs leading to an upper deck with a Victorian style sofa.  I saw Norfazilah, whom appeared in the feminine attire, the unusual of her atheletic style during the ITE days.  The only time we all saw her in the most feminine attire was on the Secretary's Rendeveous during the last year of my studies in ITE Bishan.

There was a room, with lots of guys sitting around; appearing to be waiting for her.  I walked into the room and saw them all sitting around casually, and she came down and have casual chats with them on a one-to-one basis.  They're escorted by her out of the room on a solo basis, periodically.

I recall that she has went to CA to do her own business via Facebook; and what is she doing now, in this huge mansion, and so dressed up?  Don't tell me she's a social escort?  I certainly hope of the last.

We sat at a lavishly-built dining table; the purpose of the visit was some catchup with her, after not seeing each other since graduation in 1999, it's quite a surprise to see her "doing so well"...I've asked her what does she do for her business but the reply didn't seem very clear; probably in my mind, I was gasping in wonder, how much is she earning, that gave her the ability to stay in such a huge apartment?

I saw her once again later, coming out from a room near the flight of spiral stairs, and I was handed a note, saying something along the line of "if you had came in later, I will be getting the wrong idea"...again, with an underlying, mysterious meaning.

Next scene, I saw myself and dearie walking up the stairs, and then lay on the Victorian sofa, with dearie already almost at Slumberland's gate, and I tried to "camoflauge" into the colors of the sofa like a chameleon, and later on, seeing Kulvim and a girl (resembling Stephanie), coming up the same flight of stairs and I stood up after finding that, it's not possible to "morph" into the same colour as the furniture, and asked if they have watched Ip Man 2 or Iron Man.

The last appearance was in a bathroom-cool tiled room, with only myself and Fazilah chatting; she was dressed in a gown, which looks just right for attending any evening function where glam is required; gold coloured with a matt glow.

Bang bang.  7:30AM.  It's all a dream.

I've finally faced myself to challenge the imperfection by doing a 100 twist crunch with 10 sets of 10; it looks easy, but towards the last 3 - 4 sets, you can literally feel yourself being less flexible at the abdominals; it felt good, especially after that swealtering, weights ploughing session which more can be done if it was in my camp's gym.

A glass of milk to cultivate the Sandman mood

Saw myself reading an article about a local celebrity, Pan Ling Ling, having passed on "at the age of 32" on the main page of Yahoo with headlines snippets.

When I woke up, it was 6:59am.  No such news when I read about it.  Blazing beat was also one of the factors waking me up.  I recall dearie also having trouble coping with the heat as her air conditioner has malfunctioned recently.

I appeared in room that looked like the front office of my workplace, where some agents are served; I was attending to this Harry Lim Chek Hai, whom was a grumpy man on the phone; the role I was in was somewhat hybrid, answer calls and come out to attend to "callers" like him who called to get a quote.

The details was written on no a paper, but some plastic hand-sized model with the name on the top left corner; this customer's name is "Remon" and some of the info could not be read in proper sequence, that irritated this Harry Lim.  I could see it from his expression and vocal tone that he is becoming unhappy...and when he started grumbling off track, I amplified my voice and challenged him "you think I can't speak louder?  It's only because I chose not to raise my voice" and he started telling me that he could shout till the entire ammo dump could hear his voice - since when did he work in ammo base?

I could feel my throat a little strained after using that Lion Voice against Harry.

Next scene was the Tampines Bus Terminal, bearing the appearance of that before the recent facelift - I saw that there was an identical bus that brings us to Larkin in JB, Malaysia, but this time, this bus is bound for Thailand, and there were some Thai words scribbled by the side of the English text.  Weather was blazingly hot like that of the recent climate...and I saw my ex, she called me and was talking to her; she had wanted me to board the bus with her but I walked off after hanging up; to "booth" which was like a defunct information counter, identical to those in Bukit Batok Bus Terminal, which was away from the view of the boarding berth of this "Singapore-Thai" bus.

I woke up, indeed, with a sore throat...so it's a no action day at work.

Another mental challenge in the evening as working hours come to an end; call volume suddenly sprang up to 20+ queue calls in the morning, but some new implications will somewhat help to reduce workload on our end that had been briefed to all of us.

The next hurdle, mental challenge during lesson; got to chat with dearie over the phone, Bluetooth to Bluetooth while she starts using the new Jabra BT2060 I got as her birthday present - superior quality without any trouble on audio quality.

The lesson today had been mostly based on graphs, but certain graphs are not "disturbed" as hinted by our lecturer.

Not many from our Hoarde has appeared today; Step:  down with stomach flu, Leon: unknown reasons, Justin and Louis had left class during the break; Econs may sound like an abstract subject, but noticed most are theorical and yet, being a core module.

Just the last lap to make it back; Wan had just touched down at Singapore near 10pm from Jarkata; I gave the ice wine at the DFS he dropped by a miss as cheapeset was $180, simply overpriced!

I had a deep sleep soon after freshening up at dearie's place, before she came to my place for revision, and we caught a meal at A-Star coffeeshop - Za Jiang noodles and for myself, Teochew noodles; the meal was pretty filling.

Weather had been pretty warm, and the sight of Fat Cat near the bubble tea shop was simply a sight - laying on the road and oblivious to the surroundings people walking, he was finally "combated" by an umbrella from an elderly woman, who conversed with me in Cantonese about his fatness; and that he has been spayed (marked by the chip-off ear).  He wrestled with the umbrella and finally sat up for a good photoshoot.

Dinner was done at home under the connosieurship of Chef Sihui, who made the meal really sumptous - an Italian dinner minus the settings and music.

The evening was spent at Pu-Yi's place as she held a housewarming; managed to get some wrappers for regifting as the present is of odd-shape where I can't wrap with normal paper-textured wrappers.

Dearie's mum had helped me with the wrapping and it turned out just beautiful!  Weather was like a open air oven where I was baked at every foot set under the sun - fortunately Pu Yi's place was very windy.  We spotted a tree lizard and took a snap of it after attempting to find "free parking" around their area.  Nice shot done from various angles, till I was too close for its comfort and it scampered away.,

Daryl, Fericia's spouse, Alex and Kai Ling are here; it's rare to see them at such events; in fact the first time seeing them after awhile; especially so for Daryl; "no show" after their wedding.  They will be getting their keys in a few months' time, and will all be within close proximity.

I took quite a few glasses of red wine, which turned myself into lobster within minutes;  so dearie was tasked to drive my cute pica back for rest, before we caught our Ip Man 2 show at Century Cineplex. 

It was a hit!
