Air Asia was giving out free tickets today
yes. how nice it sounds.
marketing gimmick we all know. but we still fall prey to them!

tickets to BKK, 8July 2010 - 12 July 2010 booked!
hahahaha
YES, BKK, again!
*gawds
this is the nth time im going there. am seriously like visiting the country once every year.
if only i could travel so frequently to Japan!
tickets are cheap! All in all, we paid 99bucks!

and i guess probably this is what we do with mabel goh ard (ie: purchasing air tickets 8 mths in advance. lol).
still, first time travelling with mabel goh!!! we shall see whether its fortunate, or misfortunate. :P

sometimes the more you wished something happened, the more it won't.

so............
stop expecting!

i needed to blog. wanted to leave down this note in my memory.
I'M BLESSED WITH TRUE FRIENDS :D

let's start!
p/s: super long entry. just to leave this in my memory. :P

021009 [Friday]
Had an early celebration with hui&isa at Timbre@OldSchool, Mount Sophia.
I've been to Timbre before, but the outlet at Old School was great! i thought it was their best outlet amongst the rest.
Although it was a simple chillout session, gossiping, humming to the live band..
the feeling was great!
there were busy preparing for assignments/exams, and they still bothered to make some time out for me!
i love you gals!

081009 [Thursday]
FIRST SURPRISE OF THE DAY:
a tiramisu from Gobi from the muskis!
well, i gave them a HUGE heart attack as the cake was supposed to be delivered the next day. however, i decided to claim off day the next day, BUT i didnt inform them before hand. it was when i was asking mf abt the hairdresser before they found out!
but still, it was still a huge surprise from them!
/lovelovelove

Celebration with the people @ CSP. I think CSP has the culture of employing people who are born in the month of October!
LOL. The 4 of us (faith, TJ, Richard & myself) had a massive bday celebration tgt. Dinner was @ Ah Yat & we proceeded on to OBAR where the REAL PARTY starts! oh anyways, the dinner @ Ah Yat was free coz there was a housefly swimming in our vegetables and Roy managed to get us a free meal! haha~
oh yes! the REAL PARTY!
we played "0 0 7 BANG"! All of us! including my bosses! it was a simple game for us, however, it was a TOTAL JOKE looking at the 老一辈 people trying to catch up with us and play the game. TOTAL HILARIOUS. i swore i laughed till i cried. HAHA.
well, it was becoz of the game playing that all of us got so high, and Roy got SO DRUNK, he totally knocked out.
Crazy photos, crazy people, a CRAZY PARTY! I LOIKE! :D
Oh yes. MY SECOND SURPRISE OF THE DAY!
guess what was my cake?!?!?
Passionfruit Meringue frm The Patissier! yes! Eldwin got that cake specially coz he knew my cravings! hahaa
he even specially bought one for me, all to devour by myself!

091009 [Friday]
THIRTD BIRTHDAY SURPRISE:
momo actually called the day before and told me to wait at home as she bought smething and the delivery man was coming. Well, obviously my momo dont really know hw to lie, and i kinda saw through it. Nevertheless, i still love the super chio flowers that my sister had for me.
Although we always argue and scold each other moron, but well, its our way of communicating! she knows i love her, and we show it through actions :)

I had my hair permed @ Hair Profile at Far East! Thanks to Meifang, i got a super good deal, and super chio curls! LOVE!
Next, had dinner with the Tans at the very ulu+老kokkok restaurant at Far East Shopping Centre. Thou the restaurant is old, but they serve really good steak at affordable prices!
FOURTH BIRTHDAY SURPRISE:
i was supposed to meet mf at Gallery Hotel; Bar84. Upon reaching, was shocked by the presence of ny&ber!
YES! i didnt know at all that they were coming. Ny was busy with her assignments and it will take someone like Lee Kuan Yew to be able to get Mabel out at 9pm. (yes, 9pm is unearthly late for our Ms Bossy!) AND YES! she actually did it for me!!!! and to think we stayed out all the way till 1am plus! HEARTS!
Bar84 was really cool! Its a superb place for chilling out. We even had the opportunity to watch a magic show! which was quite impressive, i thought.
However impressive it was, it couldn't beat the effort and time that my besties did for me!
M&M had a madewithlove scrapbook album for me, and NY did a "SHOUTS ME" box!
i got so touched i teared while reading the album. i'm speechless over what these ladies did. these are what i call true friends!
/HUGS&KISSES

101009 [Saturday]
Simple dinner @ ECP & chill out session @ Keppel Bay was more than enough to sum up my 24th celebration. Had a great time with the kss-ians. Not forgetting the difficulty of trying to figure out what present they got for me! LOL.
dont worry babes, i LOVE the presents and definitely will take gd care of it.
it will follow me through my life journey :)

I guess this was the BEST BIRTHDAY i had ever gone through.
i passed 23 with blinded eyes and had a horrible birthday. But my 24th was more than enough to cover for what i missed on during my 23rd.
i know ive said it a million times.. but still,

I LOVE YOU GIRLS, AND I REALLY MEAN IT.
THANK YOU ALL, ONCE AGAIN.......................................*

finally claimed my off day last fri (18th Sep), and rested all the way till Mon (21st Sep)!
but didnt really rested enough coz i practically went out EVERYDAY.
no drama marathon, no sleep marathon.
BUT, was really quality time spent with the kss-ians!
been ages since we spent time like that, lah! & i really loveeeee it! thanks to ny's bday! :D

we're all turning 24!
its left with me, mel & huoy.
time really flies.. especially this year!
didnt do anything really productive and the year is coming to an end.
2009 was great!
at least i thought i led my life fulfillingly! especially happy over the fact that i finally learned diving! thanks to mel! for asking me along. i really really love it! 

well.. a very random post coz i'm bored@work.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

totally high today!
in less than 2 hrs, i'll be seeing mayday!
and in 5 days time, i'll be in BKK!

itinery for bkk:
day 1: eat, shop, shop more, shop till i drop, eat, massage, sleep
day 2: eat, shop, shop shop, shop shop shop more, shop till i drop drop, eat, massage, sleep
day 3: eat, shop, shop shop shop shop shop shop more, shop till im dead, eat, massage, sleep

short and sweet. i like :D

heading out to indoor stadium now.
bye people!

i suddenly wished christmas could arrive faster.
other than the fact that we might be going taiwan.
i just wished christmas come faster!
dont ask me why. just a very random thought.
i suddenly just enjoy the season of giving.
i suddenly miss the feeling of last minute shopping for christmas presents.

i suddenly love christmas.

Returned back to SG on Monday, 10th Aug, after a 4 days 3 nights trip @ Redang.
i had a helluva GREAT time over there, minus the fact that i got sick on the last day, on the way back to SG. it felt horrible to be shivering the whole 13hrs ride in the coach! i guess i swallowed the MOST number of paracetamol during the ride back in my entire 23yrs of life.

Didnt really managed to take many pictures coz basically we were busy eating, slping, having fun & most importantly, DIVING!
Anyways, thks to King that mel&i managed to get some underwater photos!
pardon the horrible diving skills! hahahahaa.
mel&i kept complaining that we were tired and the fins that we rented frm them were horrible. but i guess, the most important issue was because the both of us FINNED TOO MUCH!
and our MASKS! hahahaa. was fogged up MADLY! i seriously wondered hw did we managed to see underwater.
BABE, TIME TO BRUSH UP OUR DIVING SKILLS!
sipadan next! :D

i met many great pple during this trip. i guess that pple who dive are really VERY VERY sociable. within a couple of minutes, everyone is like everyone elses' best friends! which is good, i thought. you have nobody else except these pple to help you with when you're underwater. so it helps to be sociable and click with them.

i saw a helluva no of sea creatures this time round too! Redang is definitely like a SUPERB place to dive. we saw sharks, HUGE bumphead parrotfish, HUGE stingrays, pipe fishes, GAZILLION NUMBER OF NEMOS, nudibranches ( i guess i will never have seen it if no one pointed out to be in the first place), blue spotted rays, eels, etc etc etc
THIS IS HEAVEN!
can't wait for our next trip! looking at the pictures that others had post really brings back all the memories and just makes me wanna go back there right away!

oh man oh man oh man, i LOVE redang! i'll definitely be back again, sometime!



am meeting the muskis for swensen's ice cream buffet later.
TIME TO PIG OUT! lol.

Specially for Xiaowei, Jiaman & Mabel!

It was convocation day for Xiaowei on Wednesday & yesterday's was jm & ber's.
FINALLY GRADUATED AFTER BATTLING WITH UNI LIFE FOR 4 YEARS! CONGRATULATIONS BABES!

well, i had my mortar board on my head on 28 Aug 09.
i can't rem what was i feeling back then.
i think i was quite nonchalent. haha. coz i find that wearing the gown & mortar board made me feel ugly.
p/s: esp when after i saw my stage photo, i went WTF WTF coz the photographer had the ugliest photo of me with my double chin revealing itself right smack on the photo -.-
anyways, the bond between myself and unimates wasn't that close in the first place. i only spent 1.5yrs in RMIT-SIM and i guess there wasnt enough time to have serious bonding.

i miss school.
especially my secondary school days. the times we gathered together to gossip abt teachers. the jokes we had on susan leong. the nicknames we had for schoolmates. even people we didnt know would end up with a nickname frm us! lol.
tt's us. or rather, tt's women! gossip is a part of our lives. hahaha
i really really miss those days.... :(

A memorable day to pen an entry.
Finally, my 底库 dont have to be displayed on 3709's windscreen w.e.f today!
hahahahaha

oh well, actually, not much 感触 lah. my driving skills still pretty much suck so ya. it's just a date at the end of the day.

oh, ms goh is flying for taiwan today for A FREAKING EIGHTEEN DAYS!
*gawds knows what she's gonna do there for 18days!
bet you won't have fun coz ur're not going with us!
LOL.
k lah k lah, bon voyage, and rem my 阿忠面线. more 猪肚 pls! :P

And another thing, the muskis kept reminding me that i have to blog bout this!
yes! i have 2 birthdates w.e.f 30th May 2009.
why is that so?
because..............................................................................................................
venue: 爱琴海民歌餐厅
backgrd music started to play 张敬萱's 断点
沁薇：OMG! yayyy.. they playing 断电！！！
忠威：沁薇，生日快乐。这首歌，断点是你的朋友点给你的。
沁薇： wtf!

yes!
the muskis played a trick on me! but for a gd reason lah.
coz they know i love that song, and wanted them to sing for me.
and the fullofideas ms chay then decided that they have to say that it's my bday before they would definitely sing that song.
and ya, TADAH!

忠威：沁薇，今天是你的生日吗？
沁薇：是地（guiltily)
莉连：我们请沁薇上台好吗？
沁薇： wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf ! & i had to go up in the end, and shaked hands with 俊欣，莉莲 & 忠威.

gawds. i was super paiseh
esp when it was a trick for them to play my song!
but nevertheless, thanks muskis!
i love you girls!
*smoochies

and yea, so w.e.f 30th May 2009, Tan Ching Wei has officially 2 birthdates.
Remember my presents ok!
:)

Well, this blog isnt like a blog anymore because my life has been rather mundane, or rather, i dont have the mood to blog anymore. Just so happens that i'm feeling the monday blues today and can't concentrate on doing anything.
Anyways, my arms and body are aching frm the aerobics on saturday and the wii boxing i was playing with jm yesterday. gawds. i think it really helped to shed off some weight.
p/s jm: i'll be dropping by your place often to play tgt! kinda hooked already! :P

2009 is a fulfilling year for me i could say, till date, at least. In the aspect of "self-fulling", not in the aspect of my career, unfortunately. Been planning lotsa trips this year. Hurting my savings at the same time. But oh well, let 2009 be the year i love myself more! Let me enjoy myself more! haha~
Really looking forward to my next diving trip, planning in August, and my taiwan trip with darling ying&bong in November!
And i wanna go genting in june, and my batam spa trip!!!!
KSS-ians, WHEN ARE WE GETTING OUR TICKETS TO GENTING?!?!?! haha

i realise that i can't blog proper anymore. Its liked i'm stuck. Cant get my thoughts written out fluently.
Another reason why i've been blogging lesser and lesser.
I guess it happens because i dont really use my brain cells in my day-to-day work. SO BAD!

urgh.
my mind's blank again.
ciao~

叶子是不会飞翔的翅膀
翅膀是落在天上的叶子
天堂原来应该不是妄想
只是我早已经遗忘
当初怎麽开始飞翔
孤单是一个人的狂欢
狂欢是一群人的孤单
爱情原来的开始是陪伴
但我也渐渐地遗忘
当时是怎样有人陪伴
我一个人吃饭旅行到处走走停停
也一个人看书写信自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里
就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你
我一个人吃饭旅行到处走走停停
也一个人看书写信自己对话谈心
只是心又飘到了哪里
就连自己看也看不清
我想我不仅仅是失去你

只是心又飘到了哪里

she passed away yesterday morning at the age of 34
another proof of "life is fragile".
s i g h s.

a random thought came through my mind. a sudden urge to leave everything and go overseas to do something i like. probably not something i like, but to learn how to survive in a stranger country. i've always been pampered since young. everything's paid for. everything's planned for. all i had to do was to follow the map and reach the destination. thinking back, i didn't really know what i wanted in life. previously, all i had in mine was to find a nice guy and settle down. be able to live happily together. i thought i found him. until reality strikes you right in the face. young was the word. innocence was the word. didnt think that life might not always be smooth sailing. didn't know what could happen to you the next minute, the next second. as we mature, we think differently. 23, going on 24 means something. i can't possibly lead life aimlessly. not knowing what am i working towards. i dont know whether this is the kinda life i wanna lead. humans are greedy. we want to possess everything that we love. but this is not possible. definitely not. i just wanted to try a new life. trying to learn to be independent, for once. i want the feeling of not having someone to be always there for you. i want to learn to grow up stronger, to be able to decide for myself, to be able to handle problems by myself.

this is just a random thought. a very random thought. i guess i'm just too blinded. too lost. i can't think straight, again. i'm always running in circles. living in history and i hate myself for this. this lady just wouldn't learn. wouldn't slap herself to reality.

but seriously. i hope this random thought turns into reality some day. perhaps when i save enought, i would have the courage to take on this part of my life journey.

ok. i sound emo.
and yes.
i'm not really ok now.
this is the qinwei that i hate. hate it to the core.

leaving in a jet plane in 7 hrs.
tokyo, i'm coming!
been crazily busy these few weeks. havent been meeting up my dearies for awhile.
wait for me, i'll be back in a week with goodies frm japan! :)

and FINALLY, i get my long awaited break.
needed it badly.


/hope everything will be fine by the time im back. i guess i just need time to clear.
:)


CANT WAIT!

In a couple of hours, 2008 will be gone, forever.
08 was considered a less than satisfactory year for me. filled with more sorrow than happiness. I fell, picked myself up and stood strong, preparing myself for the longer roads ahead.

There were good times, there were bad times. Got myself a job that thou pays me peanuts, but am happily working there with my lovely colleagues and company. My dearest sister got engaged! After 4yrs plus of dating! haha. Happy for her, nonetheless.
Bonded even closer to my darlings! To all out there, my dearest dearest darlings, THANK YOU, BABES, for all the listening ears, all the advices and time spent with me. I appreciate it loads and i know we will always be there for each other 5yrs, 10yrs, a lifetime down the road!
Love you all babes!


2009 will be a better year for all of us!
Definitely!
Wishing all the best, may all our lives be filled with more happiness & love.
STAY HAPPY MY FRIENDS!

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE!

xoxo,
Qinz.Jena :D

华仔！我爱你！

anyways, enjoyed myself thoroughly!
thanks to MS XIUHUI FOR THE TICKETS!
thanks thank thanks babe. could nv thank you enough for all the free concerts i've been to!
*huggies!

人 群中 哭著 你只想變成透明的顏色
你再也不會夢 或痛 或心動了
你已經決定了 你已經決定了
你 靜靜 忍著 緊緊把昨天在拳心握著
而回憶越是甜 就是 越傷人了
越是在 手心留下 密密麻麻 深深淺淺 的刀割
你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼
這 世界 笑了 於是妳合群的一起笑了
當生存是規則 不是 你的選擇
於是妳 含著眼淚 飄飄盪盪 跌跌撞撞 的走著
你不是真正的快樂 你的笑只是你穿的保護色
你決定不恨了 也決定不愛了
把你的靈魂關在永遠鎖上的軀殼
你不是真正的快樂 你的傷從不肯完全的癒合
我站在你左側 卻像隔著銀河
難道就真的抱著遺憾一直到老了 然後才後悔著
你值得真正的快樂 你應該脫下你穿的保護色
為什麼失去了 還要被懲罰呢
能不能就讓 悲傷全部 結束在此刻
重新開始活著



/你是，  真正的快乐。 吗？
