**-*- It's been a while, hasn't it?**

Okay fine, I haven't been blogging. Again. Like what's new? And yes, I haven't seen my own blog since the last time I "updated", which was barely a real update, since it was a re-post! Heh. Anyway, no Zen, I don't blog. I really don't.

BUT! Things may just change!! Because.......

*drum rolls*

I HAVE QUIT!!!

I am officially FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Stunned by my happiness? Yes I was happy in the job, but many things had changed since September. Many people left, and many new people came in, and I guess it was time for me to move on from the company.

AND I'M HAPPY!!! It's been a month plus since I tendered, and almost 3 weeks since my last day (cos I had leave to clear!), and I'm so totally enjoying myself! Sleeping late, waking up late, KTVs, MJ, poker (but not so much), plays, and miscellaneous rubbish things I do when I'm absolutely, totally FREE! Like going to Sentosa to spend a few hours in the sun ON MY OWN! Absolutely lovin' it!

Anyway, latest on me? Looking around for a job, but not mass-sending out resumes yet - tap on my network of friends first! HEh. And responses seem quite reasonably excitable. Oh well, we'll see what happens!

Now on to more urgent things! Pictures!!!!!!!!!! (or rather, videos!)

Okay, so I was at the Airshow yesterday, and I LOVED IT!!! There was a Black Knights Demo - OMG OMG! They were SOOOO COOOL!!! AND! I've decided that I wanna marry the last single black knight!!!! Heard that his name is Jeremy or something!!!!

Okay I'm totally droolin, but man! A girl is allowed to drool okie! *slurps*

So, we're having a contest, my dear friend Alyssa and I, to fight for the last single Black Knight of 2008.. so come join us! Haha! If you wanna check out your competition, here's a little preview of the two very sexy contestants!

ANYWAY, the display was very exciting, and they were really damn cool la, with several "stunts" that were more memorable, like the one where one of them was flying upside-down! And underneath it, was another one! Damn cool! I only have videos of their stunts, and I think the videos speak for themselves! Okay first one is pretty simple, they are just flying across the sky - WHICH I WAS ALREADY IMPRESSED LA!

Haha, yes I'm a loser like that!

Disclaimer: Personal Camera + Unprofessional Videographer = Shaky results, and many umbrellas & heads in view...

Okay, if the vids display funny (i.e there's an additional picture beneath the actual vid), I'm sorry, but I have no idea why...... But can you hear the roar of the fighter jets! Damn! So sexy lah!

Next are the crosses, where two of the aircrafts will come from either end and cross each other! One of them is the single one!!! Think it's the one that starts from the right (at the very start of the vid)! Haha.

Disclaimer: and sometimes, a finger at the corner...

Whoohoo! I think at some point, I said "This is the one I'm gonna marry!" HAHAH!

Next up: They TWIST AND TURN!! I think the official name is Twinkle Roll? Something like that....

Pretty Cool huh.

Next up: PRetty cool as well - the afterburner climb!!!

Man, I would love to be in the planes man!!!

Next up: very tacky stunt, but quite sweet as well - I would love to call it Love is in the Air, but that's TOO CORNY! Well, the black knights call it the Flaming Heart...

Oh, quite cool, after the "Flaming Heart" was formed, we heard a cheer behind us, and when we turned around, we saw a guy on his knee, and then followed up a whooping hug of his girlfriend... Tacky, but apparently it gets people into the marrying mood..

okay, next up: My most favourite vid! It was what I was talking about above, the Mirror Pass (a.k.a upside-down) and some other tricks!!! Be patient, the mirror pass is the last part of this vid...

Ain't that the coolest!

More information on the Black Knights can be found @ RSAF Black Knights 2008 Website

> > > OMG! Visited the website, feel UTTERLY cheated by the people who told me about the single Black Knight - the name is not Jeremy (or it could have been Jeffrey that I heard, but that one is married). The un-married one is called Lester... And he's not the one doing the cross.. Erm, very hard to identify him in the demo...... But he IS the youngest la, so still okay la... Anyway, Alyssa and my contest shall be still on! Wahahh come join us! ;p The rest of the Aero Demo, erm I wasn't paying attention - haha did a LITTLE walk around, went for lunch and all, and waited till the AIRBUS came out!

And AIRBUS came on -- only got pictures, but it was quite cool - seriously it's like a very very quiet humongous giant... Very mild and tender - but very serious as well! I like!

It was exceptionally quiet, considering it was hovering rather low as well - very exciting!

And who can resist pictures with the giant?

Of course, Alyssa couldn't resist a picture with the hot pilot! Haha..

I shall just settle with my little Ferrari private jet....

And so airshow was great, and we were leeaving - only to realise....

Queue for shuttle bus - all mixed up with the queue for cabs, which I was supposedly in...

Rightmost is supposedly the line for cabs - don't think many people realised.

That's the queue that continues from the mess inside....

And - FINALE: The queue from across the canal!!!!

The above is the queue for the shuttle bus - and mind you, that's just a third of the view, and it's layered, meaning people are snaking around, along that length... Think these people should be just about to reach home now.....

Not as bad, but below is the queue for cab...

So the two of us decided to walk, and have Vincent come drive us home.....

What an adventure!

**-*- My Journeys - Life, Fun, Work, Travel**

Dear Long-forgotten Diary,

Been a long while, kinda miss days when I can wile my time away just blogging the entire day. I didn't even have so many things to blog about at that time! Irony!! Haha now that I have more things to blog about, I really have pretty much no time to blog about them all.

Quick Summary: I am still happy! :P Though times are hard.

Work is really hard at times, really really hard. So hard I just want to break down and cry, but rarely anymore. Somehow, I think I'm much stronger than before. A year ago, I would have cried looking at the shitloads of work I have to do. Now? I shut up and CHIONG! Odd thing to hear from me, I'm sure! But really, bite the bullet and chiong is kinda what I have to do to get through with the piles of work.

Sometimes it just feels so taxing, I need to scream at everyone and/or run away from life. Just for a day. Nobody but me. Focus my world on me. And nothing else, no one else. No emails, no human interaction, no forced smiles, no hypocrisy. You think?

Everyone around me seems to feel that I'm not doing a lot. A lot of people actually undermine my efforts. But HECK them! (Sometimes even the supposedly supportive people are totally not encouraging.)

I will prove them wrong, I promise myself this.

Anyway, on a much lighter note, I did kinda just take a break.. Went Genting with Ah Fu! Pictures available! Click here!

Trip was very short, but was definitely fun! Hehe, we did very many silly things, but was all good fun! Being silly is our thing! :P Themeparks were different with Ah Fu, I say! He was SO FUNNY on the rides! If only I could take pictures of his look on the rides! Hehe!

By the way, Vin thinks that the below ride is the SCARIEST Ride in the entire world!

Check out how much fun the little girls are having!

Well, the gist of it is that: I TOTALLY ENJOYED MYSELF during the SHORT trip we had. :)

So there was the long journeys (there and back, I mean) that Ah Fu and I took together.

Next up for me?

Yet another long journey in the pipeline - TWO, in fact.

In about 6 hours, I have to wake up to a gruelling day. Lugging my packed bag, I will prepare myself for a 6-hour long journey to a place never been discovered, a land where no one has found - KUALA LUMPUR...............

On a COACH, no less.... BAH!

It's gonna be like a major Deja-Vu for me man, I was just on the coach like a few days ago? Taking the long long journey. To a place unfamiliar to me, where it's gonna be home for me for barely a day and half. Yeah, blardy short trip - All CRAMPED with work. I'm gonna be very good friends with the office in KL - and I'm talking about the office space, not the colleagues, since I'm gonna be in the meetings/trainings like DAY LONG. Blegh.

And I have been warned about this trip - it kills, bad. With the boss, NO LESS. THE BOSS, THE COO, THE DIRECTORSSS. Basically a regional meeting/training. Oh! I didn't mention, I'm on the same coach with ONE director and THE BOSS. *kill me now? PLEASE?*

Onto happier thing... 2nd long long journey. Come Tuesday, I will, once again, lug my packed bag (this time about TEN TIMES bigger), and starting yet another estimated-to-be-7-hour journey. Thankfully, or not, this one will be on the plane. Destination China, here I come!!!

Yeap! Going Beijing! The Heart of CULTURES and all traditional beauty! Where Zee is gonna be bombarded by right about 3000 delegates, from ALL OVER THE WORLD! With the EWET China team, naturally.

I am really excited and nervous about this trip. It's gonna be with THE COO (a fine lady - she's one of the main reasons I shut up and chiong - main main main reason being I wanna rock the world!), and the LAO JIAO or old bird of the company. Stress! But super looking forward.

And oh yes, I've been warned about THIS trip as well - yes, it will also kill, bad! But it will be a most treasured memorable journey of my life - I promise myself. Will be the first real away-on-business in my life, and it will be BIG. Can't wait. Really. No words can describe my excitement now.

But as always, it's gonna be a whole shitload of work I will have to do, there and before. So I will still die.

Oh did I mention? It's gonna be a GOOD TEN DAYS. Will be back on 8th September. Nice.

I love my life. As if you didn't know that. :P

Yours sincerely,

Long-forgotten Blogger

**-*- Randomness is the cure of staggering posts...**

Has it been yet another two months? Man, if I keep this up, perhaps I can manage with a healthy 6 posts a year huh?

Apologies la.. Been so busy!! Day by day, Week after week, and months just pass so quickly. And before you know it, you have been on your first job for more than half a year. Amazing, no?

Work hasn’t been too bad.. Though busy, I am enjoying myself, with occasional grouses. But like what’s new right? Who doesn’t complain about their jobs? And who doesn’t hate their work sometimes huh? At the end of it all, all that matters is that you will have to make sure you did your best and you have accomplished the most that you can.

Just to update everyone, socially, yes I’m still alive.. Been doing a lot of alone shopping lately though, with occasional extravagant play/musical goings… Haven’t met up with many friends la.. Guess it’s because everyone is busy with own things as well? What with everyone working extremely hard, and studying for exams and mugging lives away… Once again, I have to remind myself that I do miss mugging my life away… Better remind myself of mugging life, if not I’ll really soon forget the feeling of it… Anyhoo, been happy anyway. So why look back huh? Memories are meant to be placed in our hearts ma, hor? HAHAHA Cliché with capital C!!!

Anyway, was saying that I had gone on shopping spree lately, on my own! After work! Hahah just last month, bought SIX pairs of shoes!!! (inclusive of FOUR pairs of heeeeeeels and one heelys, and a cutesy casual wear flatties..) and a bag (or two? Don’t remember), and quite a few tops, quite a few skirts and perfumes and whatnots! So ya, I think I have spent quite a bit last month la huh? But I feel so happy la!!! Hahhaha..

And I think I really have to officially claim March 2007 as the luxurious month la! I went for the shopping spreeeessssssss, and like FIVE Productions la! There were a local play (Titoudao - very local very hokkien and yet very poignant, I Love it), a ballet dance performance (Coppelia - I got a bit bored after a while...), a NUS production (Watching the clouds go by– I SAW TAY PIN HUI THERE!! And the play a bit too "communistically-themed" for me, though I did enjoy it..), another local play 251 (the story of Annabelle Chong - quite good, I was a little surprised. Was well-done, though it's a little not too disappointing that there was no input from Annabelle Chong herself..), THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (though I was a little disappointed, and felt a bit cheated by the fact that it's the Australian cast, was still a great experience for me! :))

Though I went for the few productions, I have give credit to Michelle! She was the one who gave me the tickets to Titoudao & Coppelia! Thanks Mich(tz)!

Hmm anyway, that was that la huh? Not much update to talk about.. April was just a busy month with a lot of preparation for my BOSS (not the big big big boss, but the director of my division) and a lot of chionging out with stuff for the company only.. Hahahah..

Hmmm guess what? I have come to the end of my free time to blog! An hour is all I can spend la huh? Hahahaha oh! Another part of my exciting life is my family! Mainly my DARLING HAN HAN!!! Presenting... Rhys Toh Jun Han!!!!!

And of course, not forgetting the photo whore in me!!! Hee~!

**-*- V-day 2006 (Post-dated: Feb 19 2006)**

Am looking through my blogger account, and I see a lot of drafts that I hadn't had time to blog and post. So this is from TEN MONTHS ago..

On Valentine's day, we went to Spagheddies @Paragon to have dinner. Totally forgot what we had or what we did after or before liao.. But here's some pictures that I took the effort to upload..
