Rambling about random stuff.
Okay, this is creepy.
Out of curiousity, I decided to randomly search for the names of some ex-colleagues from Singapore Airlines last year in Facebook and surprise, surprise - I actually found two of them!
One of them was someone I worked directly with - he was one of the superiors who supervised me in my daily tasks, not to mention the countless amounts of food he treated me to and refused to let me pay. (I still feel bad about it till now.) The other is the Vice President of my department - Information Technology, the same individual who interviewed me for the internship.
Seems like in the near future, the whole world will be on Facebook.
Oh, speaking of Facebook - I’ve been lurking around there for quite a bit recently. All my friends were right - it is addictive. But nonono, I don’t go there for the mindless applications like crappy quizzes, Texas Hold’Em Poker or whatsoever crap.
I go there to play Fluff Friends.
Okay, come to think of it - it is a little mindless too. But dang, everyone knows I have a weakness for animals.
So, since I can’t adopt a real-life pet due to my multiple allergies - a virtual pet will suffice for the time being.
Mine is a squirrel called Squeegee (yes, the namesake of my favourite stuffed pig), who is brown, fluffy and absolutely adorable. I’ve fed him loads and trained him up so he’s big and strong and gets the first place for most of the Fluff-races I enter him into. Wheeeee.
Okay, I deviated. Anyone with a Facebook account who knows me, feel free to add me.

I’m seriously contemplating taking part in Stardust 2008 - an islandwise Singing Competition due to take place over the next three or four months. The invitation email landed in my inbox a couple of days ago, and I’m still pondering about it till now.
Much as I’m keen, my health is a serious obstacle that is stopping me.
I still get breathless when I walk continuously for ten minutes or more, and I am still on multiple antihistamines and all that shebang. Mum reckons it’ll take about five or six months for me to fully stabilize all over again.
Which means singing is basically out - because I can’t even talk in long sentences without having to hyperventilate a little.
BUT I WANT TO JOIN STARDUST 2008.
Argh.
Okay, time to sleep now. I have to get up in exactly four hours for a morning class at 8.30 A.M. And mummy dearest will flip if she discovers that I’m still awake now especially since I am on strict doctor’s orders to get plenty of rest and turn in before midnight. (Which I haven’t heeded at all - been going to bed at 4 A.M. in the morning ever since that asthma-anaphylaxis episode.)
Okay. Yes. Now. Night!

Get well soon so you can sing! XD
You’ve already added me in Facebook. I’m going to pat Squeegee XD
I love Facebook, the application invites just annoy the crap out of me.
I have de-activated my Facebook account for the moment (Dissertation, for the win! Not really..), but I have experienced trying to look for former co-workers online. Luckily I haven’t found any of them.. yet. Haha!
haha I know what you mean.. I adopted a pig on facebook. :P
Facebook is addictive at first but after a while, you get bored…and it goes on and off like that. Oh…and getting so many invites about this and that facebook application is annoying.
Jia you for the singing competition!
hey brenda i know what you mean about fluff friends, i used to go on that all the time last year when i was in the middle of exam time, seems not as interesting when i don’t have something else i’m supposed to be prioritising…
ohw I hope you feel better soon so you can join the singing comp
