R we goin to break up?

I'm having alot of uncertainty right now. I'm not feeling very safe.

We have been together for almost 4 years.. The first 6 months of our relationship was great. Its the happiest moment in my life. Then she finished her study and decided to go back to help her dad. I didn't want her to go. I really want her to stay with me. But I respect her decision. I started to regret that why I didn't ask her to stay.

Then, our long distance relationship began. We can't be like normal couple, holding hand while strolling along the park everyday, I can't eat her cooking everyday that I used to. I can't hold her hand watching her fall asleep and wake up seeing her beside me anymore. The most of the time we spend for each other is smses everyday and an hour talking on skype everynight. Sometimes if both of us had functions, we didn't talk for days.

I will normally visit her every 4-6 months at her hometown. I treasure every moment that I be with her, even though I had a lot of quarel everytime we meet. But I do like the feeling of quarelling with her and then need to make her happy so that she'll forgive me. Everytime she'll forgive me. I feel very sweet. This is the feeling that I can't get by talking everynight on skype.

I remembered that one time when we were just finished a movie, she promised her family that I'll go for dinner with them without asking me, I was so mad and just stormed out. Took the elevator to first floor (the cinema is at 7th floor). Then I saw her at ground floor looking everywhere for me. I just followed her at the back. She walked to LG, foodcourt, then outside the building trying to look for me. I was so regret that I just walked away. So I packed on her back. She turned around and then she cried (just along a busy street). Of course I had to hold onto her and she keep asking me why I abandon her? People walking by just look at us 1st and then look everwhere to find where's the video. They thought we are filming taiwan's drama. Of course, she forgave me in the end but I promised I never walk away from her ever again.

I also remembered that one time when we were preparing to go shopping. When we arrived at the shopping centre, parked the car, then I found out that my motel room key is nowhere to be found. She took the key when we exited the room, obviously she had lost the key. I was so mad at that time because my company laptop was in the room (there was only one copy of the program that i was doing that time. If I lost the laptop, then I'll be in deep shit). So we drive back to the motel and look for the key. Of course we didn't find it. But luckily my laptop was safe and sound. I was so mad, didn't want to quarel with her (and promised never walk away from her) so I asked her to leave (In theory she walked away, not me). My temper had already cooled down when I saw my laptop. It was raining heavily outside, so I just had a nap and watched TV (pretend nothing happened). A few hours later, I called her (would want her to appologize to me), asked where she were. She told me that she was inside the car below my motel. I expected that she had gone home and sleep and pretend nothing happened like me. But what she did was crying in the car, and wait until I called. How silly she was. She even bought me KFC because she scared that I would be hungry. How silly she was.

Recently, when we were going to eat dim sum. She found a very narrow empty space at the corner. She wanted to park her big Corolla in. I didn't think she would make it. So I told her, "Aiya, you can't park inside de lah, find another space." Because of that, we didn't talk for the whole dim sum session. I din't know what was wrong. So I asked her then found out that i can't say "You cannot park inside", I should say "This space is too small, get another space." What's the difference between two sentence? She told me that the former one was I descriminate her but ther latter one was because the space is too small, she won't be able to park it in. The problem is the car park space, not her. She was very funny. At the end, I need to do a dodgy magic trick and some joke, so that she forgive me again.

All these sweet memories, I won't forget.

Back to our problems. I feel that her family is a very huge obstacle between our relationship. It is true that her parents don't like me (for whatever reason I don't know, I'm not a bad boy). Her parents do not allowed her to come visit me, or go holiday with me (as if I'm the rapist of the century). So everytime I need to see her, I need to go her place. Because of that, we have miss out a lot of our time visiting other places instead.

She said that I have not try my best to please her family, but I was very polite everytime I meet her parents. She said I didn't talk much to her parents. But all her parents was watching dramas when I went to her house. You certainly don't like someone to disturb you when you are watching dramas.

She's not helping me either. Since I'm only at her house less than 2 weeks in a year, I can't do alot of things to impress her parents. I asked her to talk more frequently to her dad about me. What I'm doing in Australia. I didn't know whether she tried or not but I certainly feel that she's not trying hard enough.

She was so obedient to her dad. Although she already 27 years of age, she still would not dare to disobey him.

I'm feeling alone on this matter, fighting for both of us, but she feels that she's alone being in between both of us.

There's some question that I'm always thinking lately, "Should we get married? What if her dad oppose? Who would she choose?" The thing I'm more afraid of is that I might know the answer (Hope my answer is wrong).

Should we still be together? How long can I maintain the relationship like this? Is this a test of how deep our love for each other?

If there's a god in this world, tell me what should I do?

God, if you are listening, I really wish that I can be with this girl the rest of my life.

Grow Up!

I'm bloody angry at this!

We were having our usual gathering at a friend's house at 7pm Saturday night. One of my friend, P told me that she'll go to that gathering, but before that she'll go to visit her friends 1st. (She normally tumpang my car).

"OK, fine," I told her.

We reached the gathering 10 mins late. We went in, din't see P at all. "OK, mayb she want to spend time with her friends" I thought.

We were having alot of fun. We started our dinner at 9pm. We were happily chit-chatting away while we were eating. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. L opened the door and it was P. She looked very angry. I forgot what L asked her, but just after that, P just scolded everyone she sees..

Something I heard:
"Have you finish talking?!"

"What time I mesej u? Why you didn't call me?"

"I took the wrong train to Pascol Valve and my battery is flat, and I'm out of credit!"

Funny Mike answer,"How can we call you if your battery is flat leh?"

"Not half person (mandarin:ban ge ren) call me?!"

Then funny Mike answer again, "there's no half person in this world, only one full person" (*hahaha, he's tat funny*)

"Next time when all you guys want me for help, I won't bother!"

All the guys just stunted, most of the people didn't even know what happen or what they have done.

Poor L, becoz he was opening the door and standing in front of her, he became the obvious target for the scolding. He juz stood there, looking very innocent.

I'm very piss off with this. Is it our fault you took the wrong train? Is it our fault that your sim card run out of credit? We are only your friends..we are not your family..we don't deserve to be scolded by you like that! If you took the wrong train, just f**king take the opposite train back. If your sim card run out of credit, just f**king top it up in 7-11, worse come to worse, just call the cops lah!

This is not your 1st time, and I'm f**king piss off with your attitude! When do you want to grow up and stop acting like a spoilt kid! Don't be so selfish! If you want to act like a spoilt princess, do it in front of your family. We totally don't deserved to be treated that way!

Big Earth Quake

No, Australia has no earth quake today. Everyone stop panicking. What I’m talking about is the big “Earth quake” in my company today. The company decided to retrench 5 people and move 1 person to other people today. My company has 50 people so retrenching 5 people = cutting 10%. Due to economy ressession in Autralia (Only started, not even in ressession yet), my company decided that each department will give a name list out, and the board of directors will decide which one to cut, AND I’M IN THE LIST!

It all started that on Wednesday (29/8), my supervisor,Derek was being called into the directors room. Usually being very “eight”, I felt something very fishy going around there, so when Derek came out, I ask him what’s going on, and he just say nothing (*act like nothing happen, blowing mouth wistle*).

Then about 4pm yesterday (30/10), during my conversation with Derek, he (in his casual tone) told me that there was an executive meeting yesterday (he forgot that he tried to hide from me yesterday), and normally after the executive meeting, the BIG AXE would be taken out, and somebody would get chop the next day! Strangely it didn’t happen.

“Well, who’s going to get the bullet? You or me?” I responded

“I think both of us is going to get it..since we are not doing anything.Haha” He said.

This is because we always spend most of the office hours joking to each other and researching discounted price for computer products.

Today (31/10), both of us had a call out. When i got back to the office, i saw the office half emptied.

“Has everyone going early for the long weekend?” I asked my Engineering Coordinator, Dom
“No, there are all retreched.5 of them,” Dom replied.

(*Pretend to be shocked*) “Is it? Why am I still not get fired?” I joked to him.

“Its serious. I’m not joking,” he said in a serious tone.

Realising how serious it is, i change back to my serious tone and ask who’s being retrench.

“Tong from Electrical department, Yacof from Mechanical drafting department, Loo and Colin from Major project team,” said Dom

“But they are all very skillful employee.” I said, Dom just shook his shoulder.

Then I called my supervisor, Derek. “Yo, Derek, do you know 5 people is being retrenched today?!”

“Is it?” he replied in his usual calm tone.

“Tong is one of the retrenched!” (*higher my voice*)

“Is it?” he replied in his usual calm tone again.

“Din’t they consult you before they retrenched him?!” I said

“They did. They ask me to select between you and him, who is more useful.” He said

“WHAT!YOU MEAN I’M IN THE LIST?!” higher my voice again.

Then we talk for another 10 minutes. He told me that its suposely another guy that is less important to the company and not both of us should be on the list. But unfortunately, he’s in charge of a very big project at the moment and the company can’t just sack him. In the end, he said that I owe him lunch because he saved my job, and I replied that I rather lose the job then.
So, this how I nearly got retrenched.

I always wanted to quit the job to go to work in Singapore but do not dare to take that step. Sometimes I wonder, if they retrenched me, its not a bad thing. At least I’m force to face the fact that I lost my job and force myself to go.

I message my mom about i nearly got retrenched and this is what she replied me, “You better behave yourself, getting a job is harder now.” My mom is the only one in this world that knows what I’m thinking.

Happy Halloween!


Before I start my post today, let me tell you a little bit about halloween.

Halloween is celebrated by most western countries on 31 October.

Halloween is actually a traditional celtic festival. In the 19th centuries, Irish immigrants carried the festival to the united states and since then it became an important festival to most westeners. On that day, people will dress-up in monster costume and go trick or treat or costume party. Bla..bla..bla.... sleap oledi?

I won't explain anymore of this boring stuff, anyone who is interested in Halloween, just click on the address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween.

If you know me good enough, you'll know that i'm a big fan of zombie's stuff. I like zombie movies (Resident Evil Series, dawn of the dead..etc) and zombie games (Resident Evil series, Stud the zombie, silent hill series..etc)

The story always starts when some people are infected wif some deadly virus..when the person dies, the virus took control of the brain, then he/she becomes a living dead and go around biting people..until almost everyone in the world become zombie except a few people left..

But you might say, aiya..zombies are slow, you can sneak into their back, put C4 on their head and ignite it and they still can't touch you one bit, right? Wrong! Coz now they are running zombies (watch resident evil:extinction)..and zombies like to hide in dark corner and back alley and juz pop up and bite you..one bite or one scratch, then you are gone..scare or not?

Not scare enough? Then what if these guys become zombies..then you should b reeeaaaly scare till you shit your pants!
