Some photos which I took in China

Did I lose weight?... Hhhmmmm...

This is a photo which I took with my wife last week...
So did I lose weight? compared to the picture below?

I wonder....
hahahaha...

Continue to -Oil~~

Hello, this is me. My name is Anntonii and you would probably know me through my stories. Incase you are wondering why there aren't any pictures of me in my StoryBlog. The reason would be downright simple. My readers are majority females so I suppose putting my picture there would only drive after my readers....


A lot of people want to visualize me after reading my stories cos they wanna say 'hi' if they see me on street one day so I guess I just put a few pictures.. darn...

I don't like my photos to be taken... yeah because I'm not satisified with the way I looked.
Ok... I'm fat... damn fat.. all 116kg of me and most of the time I have to use the SI unit Tons to describle my weight rather than kg....

I'm trying very hard to reduce my weight now....

I've changed my diet... almost completely.
I've excersied quite regularly now... (I believe the amount of excersie I have done for the past year is somewhat more than my last 10yrs add together)

Yeah... that's about it for the moment...

Wish my weight reduction is successful!~
Don't +Oil for me... must -Oil...!!

Some pictures which I took in China....

Happy Anniversary

On Oct 22nd 2006,
We laid our differences apart and share a common goal

As we exchanged our rings and pledge our vows.

We vow to stick with each other no matter what happens.

We vow to love each other for as long as there may be.

On Oct 22nd 2007,

We vow to keep this vow everlasting...

Happy Anniversary My Dear,

You are the reason why I'm alive...

What was the objective? What's Next?

I've finally concluded my lastest story, 'Book of Love'

Well, there was a twist inside this story as I started writing.

As some of you may know, the main character inside this story, Mark Lee Yee Siang is the name of a good friend. I used his background and personality for this character plot.

I told my friend about it and he was pretty amazed that he had a 'writer' friend in me.

He penned Chapter 9.5 for me as a goodwill.

One thing that shocked me was that 'Christine' was the name of his current girlfriend.

(They got together not long ago)

My initial ending was to put Mark and Jade together in the story.

But since his gf is named Christine so I plot the story all over again.

So in the end, Mark is with Christine afterall... and I sincerely wished them the very best in life.

It is true that sometimes we would be with the ones we loved the most.

But love is something which we cannot explain.

'What's Next?'

I believe with the conclusion of my current story, the next question on people reading my stories would be... 'What's next? When's your next story coming...'

I have to be frank...

I tried to have a go in blogging because I thought blogging can get me some sparecash.

I'm in a small debt and financially not very sound.

Tomorrow's My 1st anniversary with Wifey and I don't even have the money to buy her flowers.

Anyway, I have not earn a single cent from blogging...

That's pretty lame so far....

Considering the time I've spent daily in updating the stories.

As much as I feel like quitting.

I looked back to those who was 'influenced' by my stories.

There aren't many but I've visited their blogs and read their entries on how they loved my stories and encouraged their friends to visit.

I'm flattered.

Because this wasn't the initial objective set out.

I'm touched.

Because these are things which money can't buy.

It would still be a long way before more people will know about my stories.

I don't when I will stop...

Maybe today,

Maybe 10yrs later,

Maybe after I've published a book.

Maybe Not...

I might stop writing altogether

I used to think I have succeed, yet failure comes straight into your face like a humble pie.

"Dare to dream, only to realize that Nightmare exist afterall"

I will comply all those works which I think is wonderful and put it into a book.

I don't think it's going to sell anyway, so I will only publish one copy.

Safe keep it inside my Time Capsule.

It's funny cos I even wrote the Prolouge of the book long time ago.

{ Prologue }

“Dedicated to all those who think they are in love,
those who are finding true love,
those who tried so hard to love,
those who had never been in love. . . ”

Everyone knows the meaning of the word love, ask them and they will tell you it’s a kind of feeling which you won’t get much in your life, a kind of feeling which you never expect it to arrive.

Stories of love pass us each day without realizing its existence in the first place. Sometimes we think we are in love, but the feeling becomes mutual as time goes by. Yet there are times when love passes us before you could even realize.

Love is a feeling that stretches your emotion to the fullest. You’ll feel the joy, the laughter, the warmness, the coldness, the loneliness, the attention, the neglecting, the kindness, the anxiety, the jealousy, the eagerness, the worries, the sadness and the happiness if you get love in return...'

Love is an experience. You will experience the most wonderful times, the most stressful times and the most comforting times in life. If you look back, love goes with time. Without time, there won’t be love.

People often mislead the feeling of love when they think that it’s ‘love at first sight’. Maybe true, but it could be a case in a million. The rest could be the beauty of the opposite sex toying your heart and mind.

I live my life in search of love. Someone who doesn’t care about appearances, someone who don’t mind your awful habits in bed, someone who is willing to take care of you throughout your worst time.

Someone, who tries her very best to suit your life.
I hope I had found that someone special… and below are some of my definitions towards love which I had compile.

Enjoy,

Anntonii

My job....incase you were interested?

A few of my bloggers have been very curious about my job, my career. What do I work as during office hours?

Am I in the creative industry?
Am I in the media industry?

Well I certainly hoped to be in the above 2 industry but unfortunately I’m not.

I did my Olevels very very badly and got a mere 23 points for best five subjects. As I looked through the subjects which I was eligible for Poly education.

- Mechatronics Engineering.
- Nursing
- Marine Engineering

I have the “luxury” to pick the course which I can get myself in.
I had wanted to opt for a design course but after much rejection from parents, I didn’t even try.

I picked Mechatronics Engineering… cos it’s in Temasek Poly and heard they were moving to Tampines in 1996.. (Oh yeah I studied in TP from 1995 – 1998) and got into the course because I lived in Bedok!!

Temasek Poly use to have a few campuses… Grange road for business … Kim Seng rd for Engineering… yeah man… my old campus is ‘walkable’ distance to Zouk! Bukit Merah Campus was infact the one which I attended much of my course before shifting to Tampines.

After Poly, I went National Service… and in 2001 March I took my first step into the work society Full time!

The job which I applied was an Associate Engineer in an American company. When the manager interviewed me, he asked me a strange question.

“Would you like to try out as a Production Supervisor?”

I was taken aback, cos when you mention Production Supervisor, the first impression would be those uncles trying to get the aunties to work properly.

But since the industry was pretty bad in 2001 and sensing that the manager would not have employed anymore Associate Engineer, I decided to take up the challenge.

So my first job was a Production Supervisor… and a starting pay of S$1,550…

I went on to work for the same company for 3 and a half years the company was bought by another company. During my 3.5yrs of stay, I did my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics… Sensing that the future was vague, I decided to look for jobs and ended in my second job.

A Production Supervisor in a hard-disk company in Kakit Bukit.

Well… I didn’t have much to say… cos I quit within a year of joining cos I was loggerheads with my senior manager. I threw my letter without securing another job… and stayed jobless for 3 weeks!!

The thing about jobless was not really about the money, it was you wake up everyday in the morning don’t know what to do. People argued that its time to take a good rest and relax… but how long can you relax?

I’ve applied for everything that websites and newspapers have to offer. In the end, I’ve went through 11 interviews and got 3 offers in my jobless period.

I told myself… it’s between Engineering and Manufacturing. Either one type will determine my future.

Then 3 weeks later, my present company called me and offered me a job. Well… apparently it’s another hard disk maker in woodlands but the processes are totally different.

Guess what? I was offered a Manufacturing Supervisor again!
So I just carried on my job… up till now.

6.5 years and counting… I’m doing the same things over and over again. The difference is only the people I worked with and the processes.. (pay of course different lah!)



Being a Supervisor is about the operations of the areas that you managed. You managed the man, materials, machine, method, quality and quantity. That’s practically everything you see, hear, feel about your work area.

Oh yeah … I’ve been promoted to Senior Supervisor with effect 1st Oct 2007.. (Don’t ask me about the increment cos it sux!)

I used my right brain a lot during work because I managed costing and projects. Maybe that explains why I used my left brain when I’m off work… to balance up bah…

If you ask me, what was my greatest regret in my career?

My answer is really “why didn’t I go study design last time!!! Blah!!”

Because I always wanted to be a fashion designer… now I’m a Production Supervisor… HOW FAR AWAY!!!

My Next Story.... Stay tuned...

So far.. only got the title and little plot...

Title will be

[Secret of the Heart 心の秘密]

Don't worry.. it's won't be like Jay Zhou's Secret...
