I went to Asian Aeropace in Changi Exhibition Centre Singapore on last weekend with 2 friends of mine, Dei & William. Since the admission fee was not so cheap (regarding that I could get it for free from my uncle!!!), I determined to visit every corner in the exhibition venue.

The thought I had had before I arrived to the venue was completeley wrong. It was an international civil and military indoor and outdoor exhibition covering all sectors of the aerospace industry with focus on the needs and exports of Asia-Pacific countries. Guess it was foremost aerospace and defence technology exhibition and air show...way much more than just an aircraft exhibition like I had thought.

The coolest part of the exhibition of course was the flying display. It enabled me to witness the action of many pilots with their vehicles in the air. Though I had Dei & William talking about many kinds of aircraft in many series that I didn't know during the show (guys...for me the coolest aircraft is the hunter aircraft..that's all!!! no bargaining!!! hahaha.. =D), I did enjoy the show with them.

No regret at all in spending money for this event. Too bad that my brother wasn't in Singapore for the show, as I know for sure that he's crazy about aircraft.

It's really cool to know that there's a woman as a fighter pilot!!!

Relax man..it's time to take a pic..not to have a war...

I just got SMS from my friend. He said "You know what, lately I've been feeling...bla..bla..bla...." He ended the conversation with "Please don't tell anyone about it,ok?!"

I called my friend. After talking about few light topics. She started the new topic with "You know what happened between me & that guy for the last 2 weeks? We've been...bla..bla..bla..."

I watched 1 of my favourite TV shows "Desperate Housewives" on Moday few days ago. It was episode "You Never Get Away From Me" which comprised of Lynette's secret on rigging up a remote camera, Betty's secret prisoner in the basement & Mike's undiscovered relationship with Zach. You know exactly that when it comes to this TV show, revealing hidden secret is the most captivating part.

Do you think everybody has a secret??
I guess it's not about being dishonest. It's more about in certain circumstances we better not to tell it to anyone...but not making another version. Just keep your month shout.

How about you??
Any unrevealed dirty little secret?? No??? Hhhmmm...do you think I believe you???
How about find your secret in the list below from video of All-American Rejects' song titled Dirty Little Secret??

I want to go blind, so I don’t have to see them "together"
I waste office supplies because I hate my boss
I haven’t spoken to my dad in 10 years and it kills me everyday
Everything that I told her was a complete & total lie!!!
When I eat, I feel like a failure
I had gay sex at church camp 3 times
I pee in the sink
I am a peaceful person who happens to be filled with violent rage
I’m only dating her to get to her sister!!
I’m afraid to take the next step
I miss feeling close to God
3 Years ago, I tried to kill my self. Now I’m 18 & people say I’m happy. But I still want to die.
Sometimes I fake empathy to get people to like me
I’m afraid of naked woman
I love you so much but can’t tell you!!
I cheated on my sat & I got a scholarship
I take more (pill) than the suggested dose
I’m in love with my best friend
People think I’ve stopped lying, but I’ve just gotten better at it
I know it really stinks, but I like the smell of my own poop
My family is rich, but I shoplift everyday
I have more body hair than any woman should

I know..I know...it's been a while since my last posting in my blog.
I've been really really drowning in my crazy workload...

Repetitive lines for the last few days :
"Tisa...please update me the progress of this deal for that country"
"Tisa...how much is the discount for this deal?"
"Tisa...please send me this document to logged the order"
"Tisa...we're encountering this problem for that order, please help us"
"Tisa...tell me the Gross Margin for this deal"
"Tisa...you should take part in this training"

*phone's ringing*

Tisa : "Hello...Tisa's speaking"
XX : "Hi Tisa...this is XX from country XX. Can I talk to you now?
Tisa : "Yes, sure. What is it?"
XX : "Do you remember deal XX?"
Tisa : "Yup!!! Anything bout it?"
XX : "It's an urgent deal & we have to settled it today since tomorrow is public holiday in our country. Could you please expedite it?"

Pheww....too bad that I like being busy!!!
Is there something wrong with me??? =)

I made a phone call to my senior-high-friend back few days ago. She & I was in the same gang *gang??!!* when we were classmates. I didn’t really have a certain topic to talk about with her. Basically, just wanted to say hello & asked how life on her was lately. But then..we ended up in the “adult discussion”. She started the discussion with telling me that her boyfriend’s business has been blocking his way for finishing his thesis. She had been asked to tackle the business while he focusing on his thesis. She refused this idea since they were not “officially engaged” yet. She also mined of his few ideas on the situation when they're married. I was like “Heeellloooo….do you think I’m the right person to talk about this “heavy issue” with??”

Having conversation with her was the trigger to call my uni friends. Instead of called 1 of them, I called them all & having conference call with all of them!!! Since all of us were staying in the different cities *I’m the one who were stay in the different country* guess I took it as a very cool thing!!! We took our time to talk about many “unnecessary things”. Eventually, we had this “adult discussion” (again!!!). Since 1 of them was married already *still can’t believe it till now*, I couldn’t refuse of the topic. We talked about her plan of having the 1st kid & how to please the husband. While other spilling out the issue of arranging the wedding & helping their boyfriend to find a settled job for their engagement future. I was like “Phheeewww…things were going damned too fast…way much much faster than I expected”.

Yesterday…I found my kindergarten’s friend through my junior high friend. Three of us had a chat by yahoo mess. And again…we talked about who’s going to get married, who has just got married recently & who had the children already. I was like “Mmmmaaannn….Am I that old??!!!”

Guess…I have to begin to accept the fact that this is “the time”. Though I’m not sure about it…seem like my surroundings keep sending me these symptoms. Friends, I know exactly that “the time” will come. But please….not right now!!!! I still need more time to have fun!!!

I always thought that by the time I’m ready to talk about those “heavy topics”, I’d be adult already. I’d be the person who has those 2 features I always admire…wise & patient. But dunno why…time goes by way too much faster…feels like I’m not able to compete with it anymore. I do still have loads of dreams in my pocket to be pursued. Though I’m completely aware that my age in mid 20 is 1 of the signals I should reckon that I’m adult already...

I used to think that being adult is in the top of my "wanted-to-be" list. Being adult means we can do anything we want without asking permission to parents, able to make money for living & allowed to have “partner” to be kissed *blushing*. But looks like I missed the biggest lesson about being adult : BIG RESPONSIBILITY.I mean….look at me now!!! I’m working already & part of this huge multinational company…but still fooling around!!! I’m just not ready (yet) to have such a life…

Frankly speaking…those “heavy topics” still in my “BIG NO NO” list to talk about.

Do you think this is “the time” when I have to start thinking about being adult??
Do you think I will be ready for it??

DO YOU THINK
I WILL BE READY FOR IT???

Does he even realize I'm here?
Where is he, where is he, where is he?
Where is this beautiful guy?
Who is he, who is he?
Who's gonna take me so high?

Last weekend, there was Thaipusam celebration in Singapore. Thaipusam was the most dramatic of all Hindu festivals. Celebrated during the full moon in the Hindu month of Thai, it was a day of fasting, thanksgiving and consecration.

The festival of Thaipusam was an awesome display of belief and devotion. Thaipusam was a celebration of the birth of Lord Murugan (Lord Subramaniam) the youngest son of Shiva. Lord Murugan was the grantor of wishes. Hindu Indians with a future wish, desiring to fulfill a vow for a received wish or repenting for a past sin take part in the procession.

The Hindu devotees were in a trance. The trance allowed the people not to feel the pain of the body piercing. There was no blood either. Body parts, including tongues and cheeks were pierced by sharp skewers. Deep devotees carried enormous steel arches called kavadis. The Kavadis was attached to their bodies with spikes, hooks and skewers.The festival was open to males and females of all ages.

The festival was an intense show of faith. The devotees went on a three-kilometre trek with ritualistic act of worship and thanksgiving. The main participants in trance, hauled or carried beautifully decorated kavadis (containing milk pots). These were literally hooked to their bare bodies. It was a display of belief that transcends pain. It was amazing & scary at the same time!!!

I had no idea what Chingay Parade was when I heard it for the 1st time. I never have thought that this parade is originally from Malaysia. People said that this parade is The Grandest Parade in Asia. Hhmmm...really??!! Guess I should consider my self lucky for witnessing this parade.

Definition of this "parade" for me was more about a series of people or things appearing or being displayed one after the other. More about marching people for celebrating special day or event.

Well..it was quite close to my definition. It was about participation from both the people and commercial sector, to add greater diversity, colour, and spontaneity. People, young and old, commercial sector to people sector, arts groups, interest groups, ordinary people, talented artists, participating in the remaking of the Chingay as a Parade…from prancing icons, clanging cymbals and stilt walkers to boy bands and beach volleyball culture. Traditional floats of fiery Chinese dragons cruising alongside a cool Tiger Beer float.

There were 2 phases for the parade. It was the parade itself called "Chingay Parade of Dreams" & "Street Party". Thank God it wasn't really as packed as I thought (though it was still take quite struggle for me due to my "small" figure..I wish I was taller for such occasion!!!).

I was always wondering...how was it like to be in Chinese family for Chinese New Year???
Therefore, I joined the event in Sharon's house since she's a Chinese girl. Well...actually it wasn't really proper to be called "an event". It was more about gathering in friend's house.

I was really interested to this big green table with those little boxes on it in Sharon's house. Then I found out that it was for Chinese game called majong. For me, those boxes have the same role with the cards I ussually play, except they had Chinese character on some of them & they were played in some certain other way also.

- pose before playing majong -

My friends mocked my decision for not playing Majong with them. Not because I didn't know how to play it *cocky*, but I found that testing many kinds of food & snack is more fun than thinking about the strategy to be the winner of Majong!!! hehehe.. =P

- busy with the snack with Cecilia -
