Blinking your eyes, does your body quiver and tremble?
Are you breathless? Anxious? Are you falling for me?
Oops oops baby, your cheeks are tingly hot,
Are you really gonna deny it like this?

Oh i love you, like crazy.
Oh show me your heart that's about to explode

Why are you like this? Why are you like this?
Really! Why are you being like this?
Do you know? Do you know how i feel?
Do you like me? Do you love me? Tell me now you fool.

Knock, knock can you hear me now?
Knock Knock just wanna love you now.
Welcome to your wonderland.
Evryday i'll knock knock knock knock..

Love me baby, everyday i'm thinking of you.
Sweet kiss! S.O.S.! Come save me my boy!
Call me call me baby, my heart is beating so hard for you.
Your voice melts me, i'm dizzy, fall for me boy

Oh i love you, like crazy.
Oh show me your heart that's about to explode

MACH

A heart that was beating faster than light.
To you first in a way that's faster than light.
I'm getting closer now.
Only through your skill that was faster than light,
come to me, take me, steal me, steal my soul.

Please don't forget me.
Don't forget the colour of my eyes.
I want a moment to aproach me, this moment my heart flutters.
Please take me, come here first, please, take me.
I want you to take all of my pride, and my heart with your lightning speed.

My sould is spreading faster than light.
I'm getting captured by you in a way that's faster than light.
I'm getting closer now.
Your gaze is more ardent than light.
Robs me of breath,draws me to you alone, snatches my soul away.

Please don't miss me, please don't miss me.
Moments are being locked in you, I want to have you this moment.
Please grab me, come here first, please grab me.
I want to collect all of my belongings and my heart with your lightning speed.

The thorns within me disappear, a new sky is drawn. Your breath in the rim of my ear, your breath seeps into my heart at Mach speed now.

Please don't forget me, please don't forget the colour of my eyes.
Moments are approaching me, this moment my heart flutters.
Please take me, come here first, please, take me.
I want you to take all of my heart and my pride with your lightning speed.

i thought the day would never come. but its really here. it's leonard's last day today. he tendered his resignation and he is moving on from UOB. i should be happy for him but there's still this bitterness in my heart. i doubt leonard wanted to leave at his own accord. he left because he was forced to. because of the way the management was treating him and all that ruckus stirred up because of the fraud case. leonard does not deserve to leave. he was the one who interviewed me and guided me through all the though weeks and cheered us up when our morale was like below zero. now he has to leave because someone just does not like the way he runs things.

i still remembered my interview day. it was a friday and he was dressed really sloppy! hahaha and only later did i realise that fridays are dress down fridays. he's really tall, dark and not so handsome. but he has a really sexy drawl that was so attractive! hahaha! but i found him to be such a great guy from the start. when i asked him why he chose me to join the team, his reply was.. "you can sell, i can see the potential in you. that's why i selected you." after hearing that from him, i was so happy and pledged to myself to never ever dissappoint him and to be in this bank for at least two years with him.

and now this.

Miss Plastic pushes him to a corner and forces him to do something that is an insult to his qualifications. leonard finally relented and gave in to Miss Plastic by tendering. all i can say now is the past has passed and we can only look ahead.

i wish Leonard, the bestest boss in the world, all the best in his future endeavours and may him find pastures way greener than here.

lunar new year is around the corner!!

went to Toa Payoh just now to pass Alvin some ties.. well 8 in fact. i don't see the need for them anymore and i think he'll need it more in his new work environment (he got his job in HSBC!! ^^ so happy for him!!) so i passed all of my babies to him.. take care my babies mommy ain't gonna miss you anyway.. haha!

anyway when i was at Toa Payoh, mommy asked me to withdraw some cash from the bank ( Post Office of Singapore Bank or POSB ) Heaven forbid! me, draw money from a local bank!?!? hell to the no! so i withdrew some cash from my Citi account and gave it to her. No offence, but local banks just stink, the queue and the interest rate! gack!! after that, i went over to Fairprice to do some shopping. needed a packet of split green beans. goodness me! the supermart was jam packed with people! it was so freaky! gawd i can;t bear to stay in a place with all those low class commoners! i made my quick purchase and left in like 15 minutes (the queue at the check out counter was damn killer)

this is a reason why i HATE to go out on saturdays and sundays. its crowded everywhere. even getting a table for two in a restaurant in the town area is killer if you do not make reservations. hate singapore so much now..

Everything is as you want it until you decide

anyway how did you spend new year's day? let me boast a little here! hehe!

kenny baby came back to singapore just in time for the new year's. and even after surviving the 6 hour flight back to singapore from shanghai, he was willing to take me out for a picnic that very night! i was really surprised and was really, really looking forward to it. but since it was only 3pm, i told him to go get a nap first before dying on me later that night!

for the time being, i popped down to Mark's and Spencer's to get some frozen food (i let the maid off on that day. my fave auntie meeds her rest too you know!?) anyway, if you don't know, Mark's and Spencer's serve really good food. its to die for. especilly the desserts. i bought some crackers and cheese twists and a good strawberry cheesecake from there. next stop was Da Paolo's where i bought some sandwiches, salad and pizza. last stop was the MarketPlace where i bought a bottle of wine, some packs of ciggies and utensils.

kenny woke up at 7pm that evening and he looked so groggy and puffy faced! hahaha! i gave him a kiss on the cheek and he beamed immediately! its so cute of him. i just love it when he beams.. we freshened up and and left the house at like 9pm that evening for the picnic venue..

when we reached Kranji Dam, i was dreading that it would be so dark and quiet. thank goodness there were a few other couples there. prolly waiting for the first sunrise of the new year, like us, before sharing a kiss! hahaha! we had a great meal there and it felt so good. having him near me again, huddled together under his cardigan (i didn't bring a blanket, thinking it would be a warm and humid night) it felt so nice and fuzzy hugging him again, my head against his sighing chest. heaving so slowly. i feel so secure all over again. so safe and warm.. i remembered i dozed off in that position. but i didn't care if someone were to steal our belongings or whatever. because i know kenny is here and i am safe with him.

when i awoke from my short siesta, i was happy to see him still cuddling me. i beamed back at him and gave him another squeezey huggies.. haha anyway i was in time to see the sun rise over the horizon. It was so beautiful to see the malaysian state of Johore across the straits of johore slowly illuminate and bathe in the warmness of the sun. it was a really beautiful view. we wished each other happy new year and gave each other a peck on the lips.

that was seriously the best new year's celebration anyone could have. ever.
so happy kenny got safely back to singapore! he had so much stories to tell about his short stint in shanghai! for those of you who are unaware, kenny got 'loaned' to the Bank of Japan's Shanghai office for a good two months as their Taxation Director was not available for duty. Heard she was suspended due to a corruption case.. Okay, i shouldn't have divulged that. But mistakes do happen and it unfortunately happened to her. Ironically, i'm facing a situation similar to hers!

As you all have known, i am working for a local bank here in Singapore (hint for you my lovely people, the bank has the word "OVERSEAS" in it!) Anyway anyway, our department is being suspended for an indefinite period of time due to a fraud case (i'll explain it more later!) So for now, its like a paid holiday for me, slacking in office while doing something really silly. like a Credit Limit Increment calling campaign.

Oh the fraud case you ask? here's some juicy goss for you people! anyway in early november, a fraud case was detected. i don't know how they discovered it but the fraud case just surfaced.. after much investigating by the utterly incompetent compliance department, they found out that it was not just a few accounts that were fraudulently manipulated, but 500! they got a whopper of a shock and decide to terminate the agent immediately. i don't know if he was charged in court.

IN COURT YOU ASK?!?! yeaps.. there's a law for Banking Secrecy, whereby the officer is not allowed to use the details of a customer for his own interest without the explicit consent of the customer himself. This is also a conflict of interest for the institution (the bank) and the customer. a breach of this act may result in being fined S$125,000.00 for the officer and/or a jail term of three years. the officer is henceforth barred from working in any bank, insurance company, hedgefund company, mutual funds houses REITs trading and the Exchange. As for the institution, it may be fined for up to maximum of S$5,000,000.00 and its banking license suspended for a period of up to a year.

back to the story, so yeah. the department was closed since early november due to the fraud case. investigations and such took them like three to four months. so november went by like a boat sailing in the Mississippi, slowly but surely. then came december! and we thought we could resume selling but alas! our joy was shortlived! along came this bully of a regulatory board called the Monetary Authority of Singapore. it stated that all insurance agents and brokers MUST be registered with them, failing which will be practicing without a license and thus a fine is inevitable.

so again the selling was halted so that Human Resource is able to do the necessary paper work to facilitate with the registration. and today its the 13th of January 2011 and i am still not hearing any news from HR. how sad can life be huh?
