原來愛情這麼傷
希望能明白，希望能向往，
只要你能心灵相通。。。。
“我睜開眼睛 卻感覺不到天亮
東西吃一半 莫名其妙哭一場
我忍住不想 時間變得更漫長
別與你有關 否則又開始胡思亂想
我日月無光 忙得不知所以然
找朋友交談 其實全幫不上忙
以為會習慣 有你在才是習慣
你曾住在我心上 現在空了一個地方
原來愛情這麼傷 比想像中還難
淚水總是不聽話 幸福躲起來不聲不響
太多道理太牽強 道理全是一樣
說的時候很簡單 愛上後卻陣腳大亂
只想變得堅強 強到能夠去忘
無所謂悲傷 只要學會抵抗
原來愛情這麼傷
原來愛情是這樣 這樣峰迴路轉
淚水明明流不乾 瞎了眼還要再愛一趟
有一天終於打完 思念的一場戰
回過頭再看一看 原來愛情那麼傷
下次還會不會這樣”

New Hires Program @ Penang
Had to reach Changi Airport at 0615 on 2nd Jules to fly to Penang for the 'orientation' program at EY.....
Felt really nervous when i first reached there, cuz everyone seems to know everyone... oh well i guess dats mainly cuz all were from NTU or SMU....Thruout the whole flight, the only words dat came out from my mouth were "Tea" and "Thank you" to the stewardess.. hahaha; luckily the dude who sat besides me toked to me during the bus trip there.. hahaha Thanks kwangwei for dat...
The hotel dat we stayed in *Evergreen Laurel* was actually quite nice and grand looking from the outside
The first day went pass quite fast... cuz mostly were toking about Admin and kinda... so yeah... but oh man... the rest of the days really crept by man... and it was freaking freaking BORING... so aint going to mention too much about it.. shall focus MORE on the 'leisure' programs that i engaged in! lol...
Went out to Gurney Drive on the 1st nite for dinner... the view was quite nice actually along the beach.. hahaah
Team CSA (the name we gotten for our group*
oh yeah.. i have to mention this.. there was this really ancient looking house... looks haunted too!
we stopped by Gurney Plaza for some light shopping... din get anything but my RUmmy -O for $39.90RM..... wat a steal!!! hahaa
Entrance to the hawker centre... we had ALOT of bowls of Assam Laksa and this really weird tasting Fruits Rojak.... hahahaha
Gurney Plaza; got my Rummy - O from the Toys R Us...
For the 2nd nite.. we mainly met to discuss the presentation due on thurs.. and we ended going to this really cheapo "niteclub" looking place.. where we were given some 厢房
Rachael was so desperate to go clubbing on wed.. we managed to finish all the presentation shit by 8... and we were on our way to Chillout... and being it Ladies Nite.. they got the free entrance.. but the drinks were really quite cheap.. so its nothing much to complain about.. lol
I like this pic... of myself.. makes me look skinny! hahaha
Rach, Kwangwei and moi
Babes @ Chillout
Went to this tze char place for dinner.. food was really quite good and cheap too.. hahaah and they have this really pathetically small 'lala'...
Some nite views i took of the same Gurney Beach
Went to KTV after dinner... and it was quite fun hearing how KW sings.. lol... clubbing was followed after... din really drink a lot but managed to get so high dat we started doing cancan dance inside! hahahaah
The last day was quite boring too just went to some old mall and did some foot reflex... haha
