missing you
I have received the loveliest email from a long time friend over Christmas and I really miss him ...
"..... JOE – You were never left out, and I have never ignored you on MSN. Your messages on MSN or via SMS have never been or WILL NEVER be ignored. Thanks for your encouragement all these while. Don’t let your megawatt smile stops shining and stunning! Stay happy always! No matter what your surname is, you are always the same Chichi. Cheers!...."

Today Uncle Goh called to gently remind me that there has been a lot of anger in my recent entries so out of concern he was just curious to know why... I have been very calm and happy lately, I have not been pulling a long face to work or snapping at people; Uncle Goh don't think too much. Blogging has just become my own way of detoxing my inner system - mentally and spiritually. I just write about certain things that I have no answers to or, even about an event that had taken place which I couldn't understand the cause of it... sometimes I get frustrated and I just needed to flush it out of me. It is just like shitting - when it gets a little 'tough' to 'let go' it can be a pain, but after you have gotten it all out of your system it really lightens you up! So, it isn't such a negatively thing really.
Was at Tantric a few hours ago, helping out doing some volunteering work with AFA. We were conducting HIV test for MSM (Men who have Sex with Men) on-site with the Oral kit. Our job was simple and very harmless. Basically facilitating the test for the MSM patrons free of charge and patrons do the anonymous test voluntarily, it was not a compulsory test. Previously at certain on-site venue, the test was made compulsory by the owner of the location. While we were trying our best to do our part in helping out the local gay community to reach out to as many MSM as possible hoping that by doing these on-site tests more people will actually come forward to get tested, there was this one guy who I had a little short 'conversation' with:
Mr X: You shouldn't be here. I don't think it is right. This isn't a proper place here for you to conduct the test.
Me: It is just a screening test that we are doing here. Results will only show post+ or Neg-. Even if it is post+, you need to get tested again at the clinic... for a more accurate result.
X: There isnt any doctor here. And I don't tink u shloud be doing this at a bar!
Me: We are trying to reach out to people who do not go to the clinic or hospital to get tested. And this is totally voluntarily, it is entirely up to you to get tested.
X: I wont do it. I feel that it is not right for you to be here.
Me: Well, thank you for your feedback.

At one of my usual missions (out to save the gay community) last night, I met a long time friend, Ms. Mistevious - looking every bit herself. She is one person I have total respect for and she has never change one single bit from when I first knew her since 5-6 years ago. This one is my favourite among her many many other pictures:

Uncle has passed away today
You know what they say about a phone call in the middle of the night is always bad news.
You will be missed. Peace.
You will be missed. Peace.
1-0
Ah Soh: You changed your own designation to a SD in the new namecard artwork? Why did you demote yourself?
Ah Soh: Can you PLEASE change it back to AD - your working title. (notice her tone is never a request although she was asking)
Kiong: No la. I think I want to keep it as my official designation. SD is good for me.
Kiong: I am more comfortable using SD. I never apply for AD post and you keep piling AD work onto me. I don't like spoon feeding juniors. I hate doing those admin work. Making sure that their works are on track. I would rather concentrate on my own design work.
Ah Soh: You mean I can't even ask for your second opinion on junior's work? You know other company also the same - even if you are a SD, you also have to do a AD's work, with AD's responsibilities.
Kiong: That's other people. None of my business.
Ah Soh: ok .. you change it back to AD. I will take note of it.
Kiong: I been here for two years close to three. I know you. You will go back to square one and ask me to do the same old things again. I don't need that. Now I am making it official. I don't want to take care of juniors. So, NO.
Ah Soh: I have no time for these... I got no time to keep attending to these things about you. Other designers never give me such problem. It's very common that your have another title different from your official title. Like my friend, she is a Manager but her namecard states General Manager. Other bosses don't even ask their staffs, they just print the cards...
Kiong: You can print. But I wont distribute.
Ah Soh: Why you so unaccommodating? You come in 9am plus and leave at 630pm sharp, I also never say anything. It doesn't matter one, what have you got to lose?
Kiong: When I come in 7am and leave at 10pm I don't see you complaining.
(Her mind is all over the place. I am not about to join her in her mental roller coaster. Not gonna go further with her nonsenses.)
Ah Kiong: If doesn't matter why are you so particular about this. You brought this up yourself. So, may I now go back to my work.
Ah Soh: OK la. Up to you.
