In the morning went to interview for IT Executive at Kaki Bukit. Oh gosh! That company offers me a total of $1300 with phone and travel fees. Not that much either and still need to 'standby' my weekend to troubleshoot any errors if any of the outlet call up. I rejected the offer not cos of money but also the location of work – Kaki Bukit Place. I got to transfer 3 buses to reach the company if I really took that job. When I was on the way back home, Rina called. We chatted and mostly regarding about our interviews. When I was at the bus, I found I’m lost my way! All thanks to Rina. Not sure if she was purposely not, say bus 15 can go to Tampines and asked me not to alight. She didn’t tell me to take the direction where I alight earlier on. [As if I stayed at Eunos area…] Nvm I went to Parkway to take bus home. Then, me so blur went back home and has forget that there is power closure till 5pm cos our level is replacing some electrical wires. So that means there isn’t any electricity at all. No TV show, no fan, no online, no music and etc. In other words, there isn’t any thing I can do! Can consider me lucky cos I only rest an hour then got to go out again. [As if I staying in hotel] At nearly 3.15pm, Tian still not yet reaches City Hall. She’s late again! Lucky, today only sign contract and is not actual day of working or else DIE! Not sure is she jinx or me… or is just so coincidence… the weather will drizzle whenever I meeting her… [Think she will mad when she saw it]
Upon reaching, we were asked to go into a small room. A guy was explaining the contract’s terms and about the .Net Programming job. My mind was so blank! Not sure if I want to take up this job not. Thinking quite a while [nearly half hour to one hour] and asked some relevant questions before I decided to sign the contract. And I was the last one to sign the contract! Tian keeps asking me to sign the contract so she can meet her friends to KTV… Worst still, I have 2 hours to ‘rot’ cos my next meeting is at 7.15pm some more at City Hall again, nth to do within the 2hours, went with her to Party World to ‘spend’ my hours there. The first time ever I heard Tian singing… Wow! So sweet!!! Same as her name, ‘Tian’ but how come her character so different towards us – so violent but so sweet to her beloved Ron… Ha-ha!
At 6.45pm, went back to City Hall mrt to meet my GS buddies. All came on time except Charmian. We went to Suntec City to eat Country Mania. We called Charmian when we reached, she say she waiting for her mum to come back so not eating with us but meeting us for drinks later. So we order our food, ate and chit chat till ard 9plus Charmian came. The food is so delicious and money worth. Everyone finished their food and our stomach is so full as if we are dragging our feet to walk. Next, we went to coffee bean to sit without order any drink and start to ‘distribute’ or give the presents to everyone; gave Yanni and Charmian birthday present. Iris gave each of us a photo of the group photo we took in April's GS. At ard 10pm they were closing so we change to McDonalds to sit and eat ice-cream [As if ice cream is our dessert?]. We sat till 11am then went to conventional hall to take bus home. Then Wansee’s bus came first, so she got on the bus and bid farewell to us. Felt a bit sad cos our buddy, Wansee is going to Australia on the 15th July to further her study for 2years. [Kind of she bu de; but no choice study is more important than anyone of us here rite?] Actually, we quite expected she is leaving soon but we didn’t expect she is leaving so fast in 2 weeks time. That means this will be the last GS dinner we had with her. Gal, see u at Terminal 2 on the 15th July. Remember don’t cry too much when you see us there; cos we know u will not bear to leave. Anyway, must always remember us and study hard wor! We will keep our promise and work hard at the same time saving money flew over there looking for you in year 2006/2007… :)

This morning I had the most bizarre subway ride. I board the Number 3 train at Grand Army Plaza after 9 a.m. Find a seat, then settle into reading Henry James for class. I hear a woman’s voice gradually rising in volume. She is preaching the “Lord’s” word to the train car’s sleepy riders. Of course, I had forgotten the headphones for my subway evil sounds blocking device. The train stops and starts.
The words denigrating “gay devils” reach my ears. I stand up.
Me: “Excuse me, but do you mind keeping your voice down, I am trying to read.”
Preacher Lady: (screams) “I got to testify.”
Preacher lady hitches up her skirts and tells me that I am going to hell for interrupting you-know-who’s word. Two or three OTHER Christian ladies on the train start shouting at me and discussing my prospects as the Devil’s prison bitch. The last straw was a 50 something red faced man in a suit slamming his Bible towards my face.
There was only one thing I could do.
Me: “If you all don’t lower your voices and cease calling me Satan, I will have to sing show tunes.”
The other straphangers look at me with stony faces.
I begin to sing.
“Its very clear, our love is here to stay. Not for a year, but forever and a day…”
Preacher lady and the Jesus police start mumbling and beseeching G_d to strike me down and boil me in molten tar. (I look better in silver.)
The train reaches Wall Street. Confused subway riders check out the scene. I begin swaying and feeling the music.
The slamming Bible man looks like he is going to pop a blood vessel. “I cast ye out, Satan.”
I go into jazz dance crouch and then spring up to belt out, “THAAAAAAT OLD BLACK MAGIC, HAS ME IN A SPELL…”
Bible man has to get off the train as I wriggle and shimmy. “That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine!”
Bible man exits. SHOW TUNES 1, FUNDAMENTALISTS 0.
“So when you walk alone and forlorn, and hear that Cadillac horn remember, love isn’t born, its made…and that’s why every window has a window shade…bad a biddle be bop…”
I try to discuss freedom of religion with the ladies, but all attempts at reasonable discourse fail.
By 34th street, the last of the Christian word warriors has left the train. 3 subway riders shake my hand and say, “I have always wanted to tell those idiots to shut up! Bless you.”
I am shaking. I don’t know what comes over me at times like this. I only know that I cannot stay silent. I wish that I had my ukulele with me.
At 42nd street, a woman strides into the car and starts PREACHING. The entire car bursts into laughter. I interrupt this new preacher lady and note that she is wearing a flowered straw bonnet.
Me: “Excuse me, Ma’am…but I must warn you that there has been a 12 subway stop donnybrook regarding the unwanted intrusion of religious beliefs into our morning commutes.”
Preacher Lady 2: “I got freedom of speech! And GOD TELLS ME THAT THE GAY DEVILS ARE CONTROLLING NEW YORK.”
Me: (standing up) “If you do not cease and desist fouling the air with homophobia, I must sing…SHOW TUNES.”
There are now 3 or 4 gay men on the train. They start laughing.
Preacher Lady 2: “The Lawd says you are going to …” (litany of punishments that would be fun with the right person).
Me: (sings) “The Girl that I marry will have to be, as soft and as sweet as a nursery… the girl I call my own, will wear diamonds and laces and smell of cologne…”
One of the boys on the train starts to harmonize.
Preacher Lady 2 makes her way down the car, pointing and exclaiming, “I have met the devil right here!”
Me: (sings) “Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets…”
Dancing around the subway poles and doing my best Gwen Verdon kicks, I feel the spirit in me.
I close with “Pennies from Heaven” and make sure to get the Jazz Hands in for good measure.
As Preacher Lady 2 runs to the next car at 72nd Street, the doors open, a perfect end of song button for my gay pointing gesture.
The subway riders break into applause and I bow. Rock on.
Several straphangers whisper, Happy New Year to me in Hebrew.
An Orthodox lady hands me an orange.
I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me,can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going.You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
