identity of friendship?
"how could i demand that of him? especially since he was my friend! that would have been extremely unfriendlike of me! to put it another way: it was impolite. because friendship emptied of its traditional content is transformed these days into a contract of mutual consideration, in short a contract of politeness. well, it's impolite to ask a friend for something that could be embarrassing or unpleasant for him."

you think that's true? well for one i'm definitely not 'keki' to my close frens. i expect the same from them too. i can be a darling yes but i can be a little terror at times, not exactly mincing my words...i would think it's perfectly fine to ask my friend to do something potentially unpleasant because as their friend i would do it for them under the same circumstances. except nowadays it's all about niceties and being considerate. you have to put yourself in their shoes and consider all sort of factors they have against them. REALLY! what ever happened to the gut feeling of going all the way out for your friends?
anyways fb is better than blind dating. you can totally check out a person's profile before making your move. i have this anonymous person poking me and asking me to chat? no pics posted and all female frens added..hmmm lame? i wld think so.
novie is...

neighbours~GAH
arrgh~ hate my freaking neighbours! it's a bloody weekend and first i got awoken by her stupid dog who just keeps barking for no apparent reason. hello? it is 5am in the morning and she doesn't know how to shut the canine up!! then at 8am i hear intense construction work apparently demolishing another neighbour's bungalow who joined the hot property fever and probably managed to sell his house at a ridiculous high price. and now for the upcoming MONTHS they are most likely to convert that tiny space into a block of apartments and squeeze more than 10 families into it. bloody nice way to start my weekend...
just a thought
if love should be based on compatibility? if not, what bridges the gap after the initial rush of emotions? because the love i know doesn't lasts so what gives?
such a homely feel! grrr..i need to fly to tokyo!!
ASIA RAIL!
was busy at hyatt the past week..manning a booth set up by my company ;p think i gained a few extra pounds eating their buffet lunch 3 days in a row
asia rail is what communiq asia is to samsung elect i guess anyways since the rail industry is quite niche the turnout is only 2-300 pax? we sponsored 60k for this, in addition rented a suite as hospitality lounge for 3 days to bring exclusive customers up plus a cocktail recept at brix on the first day!
alot of ppl were interested in our train models tho' kept asking if they're up for grabs together with the brochures ~_~

effing news i found out a new erp gantry has sprung up mysteriously in 2 days?? before my cte exit to upper serangoon road on my way back and the gahman has decided to tax us for joining the jam to head home away from the city center area (pray tell where is the rationale in that? do they even bother explaining to people who vote nowadays) till 2230hrs!! well dear lta you might as well put a gantry at my house just toll me each time i drive my car out lor...n super pissed was at holland v then found out public carpark which used to be free after 2200 hrs became season parking after 2200 hrs now! n best part is they simply add this clause in red under the parking rates signage which overwrites all the previous 50cents/half hr coupons for 0700~2200 T_T
yipee flowers!
i regret to inform you these are NOT from my admirers but receiving 2 stalks in a week is quite a feat! haaa the sunflower is from HR who's trying to saka me for unknown reasons becoz she said i din have to be flawless in my work but i told her i'm just doing my job hmmm abit skeptical there...the red red rose is from my darling boss rauno who kept asking ppl about their sex life..he's swedish and a hoot when drunk like being the loudest customer at modesto's and disturbing waiters with 'i'm trying to bring the girlies back to my room whaddaya think will impress them?'
whatever makes me happy
