10 things that always annoy me

When I send a text message to you and you reply few days later.

When you call or message me late at night or early morning.

When you reply to my message with shortcuts like GR8(great), B@TM(busy at the moment), F2T(free to talk), RUUP4Sx?(are you up for sex?),NIcDr$CnITlkUOutOfIt?(Nice dress, can I talk you out of it?), etc(et cetera)...

When I converse with you in English, but you keep saying 'Sorry'
You:Sorry! we must what?
Me: @#$^%&*
You: Sorry? Oh we must 'Copulate'?
Me: No, I meant 'Cooperate'.

When I offer you a seat in the bus or train, you say 'no need'.

When I am in the bus and you come up to me to check my ez-link card.

When I order food and you ask me,"eat?". Sometimes I want to say,"what I am going to do with my food is none of your business; just give me your damn food, will you?"

When I am in a taxicab and you ask me,"straight?"

When I am handed a set meal at a fastfood restaurant, you say, "Thank you and enjoy your meal" but don't even look at me.

When I bought a bottle of Vitamilk and ask you to open its cap for me; you open it and put it back.

When you give me a receipt.

When you two talk and discuss in cinema about the movie being shown.
You one:I think he's a murderer.
You two:No, I think she's a murderer.
Me(shouting):Shut up!Shut up!...(in my head, of course)

When you run around inside a library.

When you stop me for a security check.

Newspaper's headline with PUN.

When you've posted something on Friendster and it's sent to inform the rest of the world that so-and-so person has updated her/his(blog, photos,etc) on Friendster. Stop it people!

All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go...

Am I sad to leave?

Just few weeks a go I was still talking to my friends about what I would do when I got my application for Singapore Permanent Resident approved.

Just few weeks a go, my boss told me what I would be assigned to do for the next few months with the company.

Just few weeks a go, my uncle in US called and I told him he could visit me in Singapore any time this year.

Just few weeks a go, I emailed my Internet friend in Bangkok that if he even came to Singapore he could look for me.

Just few weeks a go, I joined WildFilm Singapore.

Just few weeks a go, my housemate and I were looking for a new place to move to.

But it doesn't matter anymore because I am going home.

I have less than a month in S'pore. How should I spend it?

So I've been offered a job in Laos. I'm excited, nervous and sad at the same time. I had never felt like this for a long time.

I'm excited with a new job, new place, new environment, new direction... and few more newS.

I'm nervous because I don't know how to inform my boss about me having to leave the company. I'm nervous because I don't know what to expect from the new job. Have I made the right choice? But you can't be sure or certain about everything, can you? My favourite quote:"Life is about choice; you are what you choose." So I'm gonna live what I have chosen.

I'm sad having to leave Singapore. I've never stayed this long in any place besides my own village. Friends have been wonderful; experiences have been...er..up and down(if that's the right word). But still no regrets having been here. I'm a survivor!

Things I wish(and have) to do before I leave:

Settle my PC loan
Meet up with as many former SCI classmates as possible
Say Good-bye to Nikki
Meet my host-family
Cancel my PR application
Call Tobe to tell him I'm leaving
Have a drink with Steve King at Marina Bay
Clean the house
Visit Jurong Bird Park (I've never been there)
Visit Sentosa (For photo taking)
Attend my Junoirs' convocation in NUS
Shoot friend's wedding
Have lunch or dinner with MOL's friends(Magic Of Love) and colleaques
Visit Thai market
Drink coke

Anything else I should do?

I'm missing you already.
