Project Super CCPE – Mutiara Hotel, JB 11:24 PM
17th & 18th of March was spent over at JB. Mutiara Hotel, to be more exact. Upon gathering at Newton Food Centre 7am that morning, we, the 4 malay girls were very much engaged in conversations. It was as if we’ve known each other for a long time.
Yana – whom i’ve known less than a month
Nurshabana – who went to Induction Training on the 15th with me
Syaima – whom I’ve neva met my whole entire life
(introducing: Ema, me, Yana & Azlina)
(the ladies.. taking every opportunity to snap some shots!
toilet pun toilet la...)
In whole, there were 17 participants. With a mixture of seasoned CCPEs & newly appointed ones just like myself.
(almost all of the participants.. cool bunch!)
Norm lesson such as Team Building, Transactional Analysis & yadi yadi yada.. were inevitable. But what was more valuable to me was the program on Life as a CCPE & sharing sessions, where real life situations were role played & we had to find ways to solve/handle them. Though it was scary to see such situations, it was a lesson well taught.
The other main highlight was the food. This camp was all about eating. Scrumptous meals. The dinner was the ultimate best. Eating lamb chop & sirloin steak for dinner!! Fuyohhh...power!!
I love my X-MEN!! Wif Farhan (Magneto) as our group leader.. he led us, Eric (Professor X), Elsie (Storm), Gregory (Wolverine), Rahman (Cyclops), Syaima (Jean Grey) & myself (Rouge), to total victory. Not in terms of winning, but in terms of gaining knowledge.
"X-MEN"
(clockwise from the orange shirt:
rahman, eric, greg, me, ema, farhan & elsie)
I made lotsa frens throughout the camp. Everyone knew everyone’s name & that made me feel good. I felt so tight…. felt like family! The 1 thing I find unique & special about the company. The she-she-P-E family!
(group shot after "Cultural Fiesta")
If I was given a chance, I’d definitely go back for another boot camp. & I bet every single one of the 17 participants feels the same way.
Words can’t fully describe my thoughts & lovely moments about the camp. It was definitely sweet.
Thanks so much to my Liyana aka MC hammer, Syaima ku yang cute (cubit la pipi ku, bukan jaw!), Nursya & Azlina (the stunning mummies), Horsey Hazre (yang balik kandang tak kluar2) & Janip the Mr Detailed… u guys were great.. hope we stay frens!!
(by the pool on the 2nd day - before being dumped in the pool...
oh dats Nursha on d extreme right)
(just before departure back home.. )
Much thanks & much love to all those who made this bootcamp
an enjoyable event!
May our new forged frenships stay strong for a long long time!!!
16th March... 11:16 PM
What to wear.. oh what to wear.. heheh
Decided to be a lil irritating today. Dressing up away from the norm, trying to give a lil shock & juz for pure fun.. heheh
(wahahha shuttup u!! dun luff at me!)
Met up wif Aja in the afternoon at around 4pm. Headed to Orchard Cineleisure for the very much awaited movie at E2 Max.!!
Since the DVD rooms were all occupied, we had to make do with the 2 PC rooms, though costing $6 more, I didn’t mind. It was once in a purple moon anyway…
Picked out the local horror flick about the hungry ghost festival, The Maid, & dined to our lovely lunch cum dinner of Turkey Bacon meal from Burger Kings!!
(pretty much satisfied & stuffed!!)
For those who have yet to visit E2 Max, please please do!! U’ll love the place as much as we ultimately do! Heheh (holla if u wan further details k..)
He bought for me these sandals after the movie! His super belated birthday gift for me.. hehe thanx awak!! I love it!!
(the very last piece for my size.. uhhh i love erm!!)
We were the first passengers in Bro & Kekani’s new car!! Suzuki Swift!! Gorgeous..
(congrats u two!!)
After sending him off to Cairnhill CC for his Dikir training, we sisters & bro headed down to Changi Airport for a late night supper at Popeye’s!! whahahha too bad u had to miss that one, awak.. next time k..
(at the viewing window)Entertainment 11:06 PM
Was over at auntie’s place in Pasir Ris spending the whole day there last Tuesday. In the evening when bro arrived, Kekani, Yat, Adik & myself headed for Ikea Tampines for awhile..
We wanted to get for Kekani & bro this…. But unfortunately.. they ran out of the color green.. Darn… So the short period of time we had there was spent fooling around & doing dumb stuff… hahah
(toilet models!)

Story of a rose... 11:23 PM
Red represents = True Love, Respect, Courage
3 roses simply means.. "i love u"
Brown represents = warm, comfortable feeling of wholesomeness, naturalness and dependability
That evening, was just like any other. Abu picked Tipah up from her work place, like he religiously does everytime. J
Unexpectedly, Abu whipped out a brown paper bag & presented it to Tipah with a huge smirk! A shiny wrapper stood out over the top & Tipah saw a hint of red.
What she saw, took her breathe away. 3 stalks of roses, nicely wrapped, stood erected. Never has anyone ever presented her with roses. It was just something about roses that made Tipah weak in the knees. Though to others, roses are cliché, but it represented the sincerity of his love.
Taking the very best care of those roses, trying to keep em alive for as long as she could, was the best way she knows how to show her appreciation to Abu. His love, his compassion & perseverance to win over Tipah, was simply astounding.
Day in & day out, she watered the roses. Taking care of it till it wilts helplessly.
(the wilted roses)
Though wilted & hardened, Tipah still kept the roses in the vase. Placing it on the shelf, making it the first thing she sees every morning. Unlike many others who would just toss it out the trash, the wilt roses represented something else to her. The hardened roses signify the strength of their relationship. Things do not always have to be peachy. It’s the strength that keeps their relationship alive.
It’s been a year since she kept the 3 wilted roses. & she still has it. In the glass vase… on her shelf. Sweet, ain’t it?? J
(that's them.. hehe :))
I lurpe u… to infinity.. & beyond

Thank KEKANI & BRO for bringing us around!! Muakhs!!
Saturday...
Personally invited to Xinmin's St John's Camp by CO Adrian, i went back to my home ground to take a quick peep.. Met the neva changing TICs & the wonderful bunch of juniors i use to call my own...
How they've all grown from being led to being the ones who lead... Through the years.. method's changed, approach to punishments & running of programmes has been vastly revised.
I still remember rather vividly when i was in St John back in 1999. The punishments, sweat, aches, pains & tears we had to endure juz to get thru our Saturday activities. How we had to remain in pumping positions, male style, on the hard gravel carpark under the scorching sun, for the littlest mistake that we made. How we had to redo things if beyond satisfactory..
How we much feared our seniors & dare not challenge them. Cos that would mean doubling our punishment if we do..
& how all of us prayed very hard every saturday mornings that there would not be a Changing Parade that faithful day. Our hearts raced tremendously when screamed to change from our full uniforms to our PT kit & back to our full U's, given less than 4 minutes to do so each time. Every man for himself..
Back in my days, the punishments took up 3/4 of the training.. hence not much time was left to absorb the First Aid lessons & performing the so many drill commands of the Footdrill Instructor.
The discipline was tough, but it made us a betta bunch of youths.. Sad to say, much betta than the current kids produced by the society.. Academically INTELLIGENT.. but has low endurance level, bad discipline & superb complain KINGS & QUEENS... anything u're not happy with.. go straight up to MOE.. next thing u noe, principal's in deep shit! U LIL BRATS!!
Overall, i tot Adrian did a superb job with his new approach to handling the camp. Lesser punishments & trusting them to play their part as a Trainee. Discipline was neva compromised with Sock Neng as the RSM... We'll done ya'll :)
AS UBIN WAS CANCELLED... spent my evening walking from Cathay up to Borders, made a turn to Far East & headed back down to Cathay for our show, The Messengers at 12.15 am.. 3 hours plus of walking, argh... Thanx awak! The 'torture' was great.. whahaha but... E2 MAX.. E2 MAX.. E2 MAX!! make sure reservation's for next time k.. muakhs!
(me, me & more of me... he's off dealing wif some business..
gotta entertain myself..)
Friday...I hate Xray scans... i feel so.. so VIOLATED!!! having to take everytg off, except for the knickers, & putting on those huge blue robes & tying it around my waist.. i feel so naked!! arrghhh..
But i love having dinners & spending time with Harith...
(this is the handsome Harith.. shocked & stoned)
(with the busu & 'elephant')
How can u not love Harith?? he's so gorgeously cute, huge eyes & a smile to die for!!

Everyone else but Me.. 11:09 PM
It’s so hard living in the expectations of others. Obligations you need to fulfill & duties that you just gotta do.
On one hand, there’s the family to please and the other my love and my friends. With both hands occupied with other factors other than for myself, when do I actually get the time to do wat I want. Seriously.. ???
Does life always have to be about pleasing others and obtaining social approval, that wanting to do wat u want makes u self-centered, selfish?
Yes time management is the key to all my imbalances. But understanding from both parties is what I really want. To me being understood is the answer. The only answer, in fact
You not being able to enjoy doesn’t mean I gotta stop enjoying too.. I’m young, I need my freedom. & I need to break free to do wat I wana do.. fly wherever the wind brings me & not the perceived paths of others. I’m a rebel. But weren’t u?
I don’t know how to put things in a very subtle way. This is the only way I know how. To write it all down & hopefully someone understands me.
You are/were in my shoes. U should know exactly how I feel!!
At a young age where others couldn’t give a flying fuck about the world, I made huge sacrifices that only few knew. It was d hardest hit in life & I had to suck it all up. The darkest moments where I had to be there for them but yet i wonder if anyone was really there for me. A punishment for a mistake i didnt even commit..
Fuck! I cant take it anymore!!
This is my time. My time to do wateva I want. It disheartens me when others say I’m one sided.. Being with ‘one hand’ rather than the ‘other’.
When I try so hard to please one, the other would take it as tho I dun make enuf sacrifices…
Hello!! My time has always been about others. Never about me. So don’t u dare make remarks that i don’t make sacrifices.
Damn u!!
It’s this bottled up anger that makes me a bad person. & I HATE IT!
I know how to handle myself. Juz understand me. Please.. I beg u…
I ask for nothing more..
*Only Barney accompanies me in my lonely nites to sleep*Daddy's new ride.. 10:33 PM
Tuesday nite was d nite where we all tasted daddy's new ride. His much awaited & very much bragged about, Toyota Wish..
After surveying for quotations for Sis's kitchen (it's high time u guys rombak dat green ting), we had dinner at Haig Road. Suggestions to Arnold's was declined... thanx to Mr Asmawi (party pooper!! hahah)
(us at 'Classic Ideas')
(u'd need bribery to shut dis boy up!)
Dinner was a rather painful ordeal for me actually.
"What? eating is painful for Ah Fat?"
& so dis is what would run thru my sister's minds wen they read dat previous sentence.. haha kan kan kan???
YES it's true!! D excruciating pain on my stomach before, during & after dinner made dinner not an enjoyable feast..
Barely able to stand up straight, Yat & myself scout round the carpark searching for that darn Wish...
& there it is.. a cool.. Grey ride.. super spacious (unfortunately not so for the back seats but it's still ok for me cos of d short legs), DVD player & the smell.. fuhhh.. BAU KEDAI WOI!!
NO MORE BUS RIDES FOR HARI RAYA THIS YEAR ON!!!
YAHOOOO!!! jump for joy my sistas & brada!!!
(yeeeehaaa!!)
(dat small boy has a thing for steering wheels..
can u see em?)
(out of boredom! whahah)

Twiny's Surpirse 12:34 PM
I noe it's a lil late to post this up babe.. but i'm gonna do it anyways.. gotta let u njoy this lil video of ur sueet suprise from a sueet bunch to a sueet girl.. (& so in ur words...)
wahaha..
Date: 28th Feb
Venue: From Vivo to Cameron at lil India...
It was a rainy rainy day. The plan was to give Yati (twiny) her surprise birthday party. 25th Feb was her official day turning 21.. (no more stopping us watching SAW 21 kindda show babe!!)
After a lil twist of plan from the dear organizers.. who else but our normal clan... the boys were to get the cake & i had the wonderful honour of dating twiny out on a pouring day.. how romantic is that... hehehe..
Initial plan to surprise her out of her wits at the open roof space at Vivo turned out a failure due to the sucky weather... & the boys.. stranded at KK carpark.. great.. very great...instead of d boys coming to us.. we had to come to d boys..
so me being a damn good actress.. i cooked something up..
met Yati at Vivo, made a quick sweep into Mphosis & Forever 21 and psychoed her into eating at Cameron at Lil India.. Reason being, they have the most superb Yew Tiao.. & that's d truth..
I made her walk from Dhoby Ghaut to the eating place.. cos that's the only way i know how to get there.. i had to torture her.. else we'd get lost.. wahahha & also to steal some time.. d boys being late.. AS USUAL.. lol!!
We were both hungry but i told her to wait a lil while before we ordered food.. THAT was when she got a lil suspicious.. whahah spoiler la.. cos the boys were late..
10 mins later.. the cake & the very drenched boys arrived.. da la tak sempat take out d cake from the box... ngan plastic2 skali kasi pat birthday girl!! wahhaha cute la u 2...
it may not be that great but i hoped u like it, babe!!
thanx to the boys for braving thru the downpour & willingly got wet juz for her...
sori i had to drag u so far... but i hope it was all worth it...
MUAKHS MUAKHS MUAKHS!!! HAPPY 21st!!
Stay cheerful my dear twiny... :)
