When i first saw her,i had a schoolboy crush on her.She had this coarse kind of voice that made her stand out from the other girls.Her nose was always red like 'rudolph the red nosed reindeer'.I always teased her saying that her nose stud is the reason for her red nose.She always loved to laugh and make others around her laugh as well.She used to tell me that she's a very happy-go-lucky kind of person.I recall bringing her to eat cheese thosai and how she loved it and how i totally despised the taste.When i was relatively a newbie working at the airport, she used to help me out a lot in helping me to adapt.There was an instance when i got a complaint from a cleaner from the cleaning company, Campaign, but i had accidentally heard it as 'kian peng' and keyed in the comapny's name as 'kian peng' in the report.When she saw it, she broke out laughing hysterically and told me that it was definitely Campaign and not 'kian peng' and hence, she gave me the nickname 'kian peng'.I used to call her 'ah pui' cause there were rumours that she was actually fat during her primary school days.We used to talk a lot of cock and laugh at each others' crappy antics/jokes.We became very good friends and i used to confide in a lot of stuff with her.She too confided in me.She told me that she had a medical condition.I never really thought that it was anything serious.When i successfully got into Temasek Poly, i eventually quit my job at the airport.I was keeping in touch with her for a while but as time passed and i got even busier with schoolwork, i eventually lost contact with her.Just last month, when i was so stressed out with schoolwork, i received a sms that she was hospitalised and that one of her lungs had collapsed or something.I recieved news that she was under ventilator and stuff.I really wanted to go and visit her but i was tied down by school work.After a few weeks, i was told that she was better already.I was just happy that she was better.Then after all my exams were over and i was just planning to visit her last week with my former colleagues but i was told that she was better and that she did not want to be disturbed by any visitors for that day.So i did not make the trip.Then this week, i received the news that she had passed away.I was really gutted.She died at a very young age.The happy,cheery friend that i had is gone forever.Rest In Peace, Grace Wee.

Liverpool did the 'double' over Man Utd for the season.Man Utd's loss to Liverpool left a bitter taste in my mouth.I would never have expected Vidic to make errors, who has probably been United's most consistent player till that day.I guess it was just not his day and a red card for the day ruined his and Man Utd's chance of ever making a comeback in the game.I watched the game at downtown east at that weird lounge with a bunch of my friends.The last time i went there was a few years ago when Man Utd played Liverpool as well.That time, United notched up a win at the final minute of play.Hehe.I guess it's all even now.The title race is probably a bit more interesting now and i hope that the loss will be a wake-up call for United to be more consistent and to wrap up the title.I went to the IT show again on Sunday as my friend had wanted to get a 'water-proof' camera so that he could take pictures when he goes snorkelling.I guess he got it at a good price and he seemed very satisfied with it.After that, we headed to Beach Road for dinner.I had 'Mee Goreng Putih' with chicken pieces.It was seriously my first time eating that and i have to say that it was not very wonderful.It was just edible.Recently, my friend from my NS days has been pestering me to try Monavie, a health drink.He keeps saying that fifty dollars is not much for a drink that is so beneficial to my health.When i told him of my near pauper state, he asked if my family members would want to try it.I had to keep them safe from sales monsters like him so i told him that they would not be interested either.He just did not want to give up and kept trying to persuade me to buy it.In the end, he went home not being able to sell his expensive drink to me.Haha.Okay, i still have not found any job yet which explains my near pauper state.Any donations to my fund is welcome.Thank you.

Ok back with another entry.It is the holidays now.I have been mostly lazing around at home.Then i would go out whenever my friends wanted to hang out.I went to the IT Show earlier today.Goodness gracious me!It was a thursday but the whole place was so crowded!My friend bought a HD TV.Bloody rich bugger!Haha.Manchester United knocked Inter out of the champions league but they had to fight hard for the win.I do hope that they play better in the quarters against whoever they get.I thought i will be doing relief teaching for the holidays but somehow no schools want to call me up so i am just rotting at home.I also received my results.I managed to pass everything at one go!WOOHOOO!!The only sad part was that my gpa dropped a lot.I guess the more important thing is that i have progressed to the next semester of study! I am eagerly anticipating the showdown between Manchester United and Liverpool on the coming saturday.I really hope Man Utd will beat them and effectively knock them out of the title race....
