59. Spring Cleaned My Blog

2006-08-24T23:37:00.000+08:00

FYI, i've just spring cleaned my blog. Removed all the unwanted stuff and kept only those worthy stories for keepsake. And if you've noticed, the numbering still continues just to remind myself how many posts i've posted........lol! Good day!

58. What a Surprise Call!!

2006-08-24T22:52:00.000+08:00

It's been a long time again since i last blogged. I just came back from my HK trip & i intended to blog about the trip when i'm back. But i've been so lazy.....so i kept procrastinating. But just now i had a surprise call and i gotta blog this down straight away even though i've eaten a sleeping pill b4 i got the call.

I just received a call from HK from a friend i've known during my high school days. When i heard him saying his name i was so shocked, especially when i knew that he was in HK for an exchange programme. I always thought he's going back to Adelaide. After that i knew things weren't right 'cos we don't normally chat on the phone (we msn more often) & for him to call me suddenly at 10pm, i had a feeling he wasn't in the right mood. We chatted for about half an hr and i listened to him pour out his unhappiness & how i wish i haven't come back fr HK so that i could be there for him. To me he sounded as he really needed a friend there, and a hug of assurance.

If you're reading this, let me tell u that i really admire your courage for taking such a big step. And i really think it's super sweet of u to do what you've done. I really hope you're being appreciated well and things will go well for you ultimately. Hang in there my dear friend & wish that you'll be baby-sitted 1 day! Don't hesitate to call me anytime when u need a listening ear, 'cos u gotta be my listening ear too when i need one.....hahahahaha! Take care little baby boy (just kidding)!

57. Mr. Cool

2006-07-26T16:20:00.000+08:00

I remember i used to hate watching Korean drama when my mum was so into them the last time. She kept asking me to watch but i simply refused. But there was once whereby i had nothing else better to do, i started watching Winter Sonata i think....then i became hooked to Korean shows.

After watching "Memories of Bali", "Sad Love Story"& "Full House", i'm super in love with Jo In-sung, Yeon Jung Hoon & Rain! Below are some of the links to their video clips...........really interesting and funny. It's a "must watch" thing!

Jo In-sung:
Wo.......after watching the clip on the autograph-session, i realise that Korean stars are so much more patient and friendly towards their supporters than the Taiwanese stars. At least their sessions are systematic and the bodyguards are friendly. Unlike in Singapore, everytime there's a meet-the-idol session, fans get chased away and pushed around. I think you should watch it, it's the last link under this section. He's super nice and will do whatever the fans request him to, e.g. Hugging.....

56. Hi Everyone!!!

2006-06-28T00:04:00.000+08:00

Hi there! It's been a long long time.....Anyway, i've been good & happy. Recently been single after the last one.....and attracting the wrong kinda people nowadays......lol! Enough of my nonsense.

I'm pretty happy with my new banking job so far. Anyone wanna invest? Got good lobang to intro though (",) Look for me if u're interested to roll your $$$......As for my new colleagues, i'm getting along pretty well with them....slowly blend in lo!

Few days back i went ktv with Shelley, Becky & Fiona. It was a wonderful gathering.....filled with laughters and fun! Really miss my sisters 'cos we seldom have time to meet up.....but tmr we're going for dinner again.....looking forward to that. And today, i met up with 2 long long pals. Actually i was suppose to meet my big bro, Bernard, for dinner @ Compass Point. Then as i saw him coming up the escalator, I saw Gordon behind him! I was so shocked yet overwhelmed 'cos he was a guy i used to like alot for 2 damn years at least! But now seeing him again, just brings a smile onto my face, but without other mixed feelings anymore. Bottomline is that, it was a very nice & warm feeling seeing them again after so long.

Tomorrow, there'll be a new branch manager reporting to work. Wonder what kinda chemistry we'll have working together.....hmmm? Hope he's a good boss. Gotta go work on the dot man.....so i gtg & gotta end here folks. Till next time........gd nite!

55. Finally Pass Everything!

2006-05-17T01:09:00.000+08:00

Yesh! Finally pass all my certifications!!! Time really flies.....1 month just pass by like that without us realising it. In these 5 weeks of training, I've made many new friends & unexpectedly another small episode happened in my life again. Well what episode? Nothing much really, just that there are times when i was asked who do i like in the class? I told them that my "market" will not be in the class. Just after i passed this remark, someone out of the class really stirred my normal routine of daily life. You can put it as a guest star appeared in my dramatic life once again. But this time round, there wasn't much drama so that's gd. All i can say was that this guest star spiced up my training days for about 2 weeks and it was all a nice dream.

Anyway, training was really fun @ the bank although studying wasn't fun @ all :) All the in-house tests and certifications were really stressing me out before today. Now the load is finally unloaded! This is a picture of one of our trainers, Steve, who is a super big man that never fails to make me laugh. No matter how much i felt like dosing off, with him around i'll only laugh till i feel so awake. He's an excellent trainer i would say 'cos he trains according to our frequencies!

And here are some pictures that were captured in the class and during our role plays.............

Some of us also organised study groups. There was one Friday (I think was on 12 May) when I met Jarell, Marcus and Marilyn @ Starbucks, Compass Point to do revision till 11pm. After that Jarell & Marcus came over my place to continue revising for our exams. While we studied through the night, we also had some fun gossiping & teasing one another! There were lotsa laughters and tears from yawning......lol! I still remember Marcus was the 1st to K.O. @ 4.30am & I surrendered @ 5am followed by Jarell, the champion! I only managed to sleep for a few hrs lo! Jarell tried to snap a picture of me sleeping & the tupid flash woke me up!!! After that i was dragged by them to go eat breakfast when i was still so in a daze!!!! Anyway, here are some photos taken that night @ my place.............

54. 987 Males : 1000 Females

2006-05-07T22:46:00.000+08:00

I'm starting to feel quite sad when i look @ how the society is becoming. Many people are getting into very casual relationships very easily and are willing to share 1 man with many women or vice versa. What's this? Are there really not enough women in Singapore? No lo........according to statistics, there are 987 men per 1000 women. It's very near the ratio of 1:1. I know i may not be in a position to comment on this issue but at least as i grow older, i'm getting very sick of such BGR games. I gotta admit that scandaling or flirting around do give the city dwellers some thrill and short-term happiness. It gives you less pressure as there are no commitments but sometimes things can get messy when either party starts to play for real. Anyway, this is not the point. The main point is that i'm getting very disappointed in men. Just when i'm willing to tame down & stop my playfulness, i'm seeing more & more sides of men and marriages. I've heard and seen so many married men still scandaling around or attached men acting single when they wanna hook up a girl. Why are people nowadays treating relationships so casually & never know who to treasure what they have? Come to think about it, there were some people whom i didn't know how to treasure in the past also. But now i've learnt to treasure the right one. And now, my philosophy is that i do not wish to waste anymore time on the wrong person. So if i were to invest my love & commitment onto 1 man, i must make sure the he is the right one. If the feel is wrong, i'll break up after the observation period is a flop.

Another thing i've mentioned is marriage. If you don't wanna be tied down, then why get married & be unfaithful after that? It defeats the purpose. Couples who aren't married are still considered single and have the right to continue searching for the whole. But what puts me off is seeing/knowing married men being unfaithful. Marriage is a new beginning, a new life you spend with your love one & not the end of everything. It's true that you'd probably gotta give up certain freedom and fun, but you can now enjoy doing things that are more fun when 2 people are involved instead of doing them alone. At least now you've found a soulmate, a friend, a wife/hubby that totally belong to you. For this, i feel married couples should never take this fate for granted and be unfaithful.

Recently, i got to know a friend. At first i thought he was single that's why he's dating so many girls. But after the weekend, i found out that he's married. I can't understand the situation so i asked him why is he still dating girls when he's taken. He didn't explain much but he just said that his wife is also doing the same & he married her 'cos he had wasted lots of her youth. My 1st impression was that this is a very sad marriage. If you get married just because of this reason, then i'd rather you don't. If i'm in such a situation, it's either we work things out together and start anew, or just get a divorce and give each other another chance to find their real happiness. Or happiness doesn't exist anymore? I really dunno 'cos i'm still searching for it.

53. My New Job!

2006-04-30T22:44:00.000+08:00

Well my last day @ RX was on the 7 April 2006 & I started my new job @ DBS on the 10 April 2006. Ya.......i didn't manage to get a break in between at all and that's because the training @ DBS started right on the 10th :(

I'm now receiving my 1 month training in the Banking products and systems. Althought it's a crash course and is giving me lotsa stress, i'm glad that i got to know a new bunch of nice colleagues. On Friday (28 April 2006), most of us in the class decided to give ourselves a break and organised a KTV session @ KBox. We booked the largest VIP room i think and ordered two bottles of 3litre Martel!!!! Actually at 1st we ordered only 1 bottle, but to our suprise the huge bottle finished in a glimpse! That night i think the bill came up to at least $1.7k........Although we had overspent, i guess what was most important was that we all had a good time.

52. My Last Day @ RX

2006-04-08T22:40:00.000+08:00

My official last working day at RX was yesterday, 7 April 2006. As like what i've mentioned in my previous posting, we were invited to the AA dinner at Copthorne Waterfront. After work i went to style my hair with Camie @ Jean Yip before attending the dinner. It was a buffet style dinner and the food was pretty good i have to say. The evening was quite enjoyable and i had a couple of red wine there. After that, we stayed back a while to take some pictures with one another to keep as momento. Below are the pictures taken with my colleagues @ RX:

Following that, a big group of us headed down to Velvet underground & Zouk. It was hell of a fun really! I guess this kinda last day of work was really memorable. After the drinks and fun, I treated them to supper @ River Valley. Over there, I also took some pics with a them before we headed home to zzzzzz..............

51. Countdown!

2006-04-06T16:11:00.000+08:00

Well i'm starting to countdown my days left @ RX. Tomorrow will be my last day & i'm going to pack up all my stuff today. But the good side of it all is that tomorrow we're having a AA Thank You dinner @ Corpthorne Waterfront ballroom. So i guess at least i can have some fun and bid farewell to all my colleagues at the same time :)

Hmm....wonder how many things i gotta pack later on....Luckily Mark is sending me home man, if not ah...........lol! Haiz....next time there won't be many chances to take rides from him lo (",)

P.S. To all my colleagues who are reading this, i'll miss u guys and hope u'll stay happy ya! Keep in touch!

49. Resigned From RX

2006-03-31T14:59:00.001+08:00

I've tendered my resignation on 27 March 2006 and my last day will be on 7 April! So now i'm leaving RX & going to another new environment to work on the 10th. Hmmm....so tired....no break @ all :( Well i hope my new job will be better than the current one & hope i can earn big bucks.....heee......!!!!!! If it is not because of certain issues & people, i don't think i'll leave so fast also.....haiz......can't bear to leave my kah-kis lo!

48. Asian Aerospace 2006 - Part 2

2006-03-29T16:42:00.000+08:00

25 Feb - 26 Feb (Sat & Sun) are the days opened to public and also happen to be the busiest days because there were sooooooooooooo many people lo! Many people came for the airshows but to me they weren't that fantastic actually.

I had friends who came on Sat to look for me and so i brought them around practically the whole day. I didn't have much to do except looking after the chalet & helping out here & there.

The most happening day was the last day. My mom, aunts, uncles & cousins came to the show 'cos i gave them free tickets. I brought them to the function suites which were meant for the staff to bring their families there for lunch catered by Pan Pacific Hotel. But the food wasn't as good as those @ my chalet (same caterer), sad to say. Maybe because my side is meant for VIPs so that's why the food are of better taste i guess. @ the function suite all tables were occupied but luckily i met Mark there. He gave up his table for my family 'cos they were done with their lunch. But anyway after that i also brought my family over to the AA 07 chalet to have some desserts and nicer food (",)! After a scrumptious meal, i went "shopping" with them @ the Retail Village where they sell model planes & souvenirs. And so more than half a day was gone. But my family kinda enjoyed themselves la.

After seeing them off, i stayed on 'cos we had a party to celebrate the last day. The party was pretty fun & i made more friends among my colleagues. Initially, everyone only bothered to eat and look bored. But after a few dosages of booze, many people then started to have fun (ya lah i was 1 of them..lol)! I was the one to start the heat loh! I "jio" one of my colleagues to play 5-10 & as we played along we had more & more people surrounding us. Then later each of us even had 2 supporters to help us drink in case we lose the round! The best part was there were DJs spinning hip hop and i danced till damn high with many colleagues. I even battled with 1 guy but i dunno who he was.....hahahaha.....Wah....that night we got really high in spirits after mixing beer & red wine! Some of my colleagues even got drunk......lol! Yeah man, i really had fun that night especially after slogging for so so many days (",) Cool.........

47. Asian Aerospace 2006 - Part 1

2006-03-28T00:23:00.000+08:00

Although I've resigned from the company and I really dislike the way things are done there, i thought i should still blog about Asian Aerospace (AA) as it was quite a worthwhile experience for me.

AA was held @ Changi Exhibition Centre on the 21 Feb - 26 Feb, and my company was the organiser for it so i had the opportunity to be part of this big event. It was really an great experience for me but it really shacked me out.

Some may know that the next AA will be organised by the government and no longer co-owned by the company i'm with. So my company has decided to shift our AA to Hong Kong next year in September. And during this AA, i was attached to help out for the development of AA 07. On the 1st day of AA it happened to be my birthday but i had to worked till soooo......late. Early in the morning, i had to MC for the ribbon cutting ceremony performed by our Ministers. After that i had to help out at the AA 07 chalet, which was a built-up to host our VIPs.

Then, I had to return of the office to prepare for the networking session held at Raffles Hotel on the following day. I worked till 7.30pm and rushed home to shower & changed before i proceeded to Raffles to see to the set up for the event @ 9.30pm. I was there till after midnight and it was my birthday. This was my first time i spent my bday slogging like a mad woman. But luckily, Jialiang from Kingsmen (the person whom i liase with) was a great help to me all these while. A very helpful and nice guy he was.

I was put in-charged to organise the networking event and damn......there were so so so much to do single-handedly! I was so stressed out that i even had eating disorder and insomia. Ya....that's how bad it was :( But everything was worthwhile when i saw the whole event worked out successfully. Basically, i had to liase with the hotel on the respective arrangements needed, and also work things out with Kingsmen on the set of the function room. And these stuff are tedious enough. On top of it, i had to prepare the various marketing collaterals & get them printed out & running around Singapore to get the materials. And that's not all. I still had to see to the logistics and even shifted boxes and boxes of stuff here & there. For once i felt like a bangladesh lo!!! U won't be able to imagine how many calls i gotta make a day, how many people i gotta liase with, how many trips i gotta take per day, and how much strength i needed to complete my jobs.

On the 22 Feb, i was @ Raffles hotel at 8am. The whole event ran smoothly till like 10 odd and i had to stay back to see to the tear down of our set up. But luckily, my boss let me off for the rest of the day so that i could go home & rest. My friend came to fetch me back that morning and had coffee after that. And at this moment, my friend Joseph called to say he was at AA site and asking if i'm there. Only then i remembered that i told him to look for me when he visits AA so i made a turn back to AA as i felt quite bad about it :) Well although i was really tired that day, i managed to get Joseph to take some nice pictures for me so it wasn't that bad.

After 22 Feb, things weren't that busy for my side anymore. So on the 23rd onwards, i had more slack in a way. I can't really remember all the details but basically everyday i was doing the same routine. Walk here & there, do ad hoc errands, attend to my chalet, find kah-kis @ other chalets to bitch, eat nice food, tour the exhibition halls, go see pilots (hahaha!), settle logistics matters, etc. Weekdays were a little more mandane while weekends were filled with much more fun, which i will talk about more in my next blog. But during these 6 days, i got really tanned. And i had 3 shades on my upper body - 1 shade caused by lanyard tan, 1 shade caused by V-neck polo-tee, and another is my natural skin colour! And till today i can still see my lanyard tan lo!!! Irritating!

45. Happy Birthday 2 Moi

2006-02-21T00:15:00.000+08:00

Hi guys! Haven't blogged in so many days. It's my birthday today but i can't even remember until Jia Liang told me.......lol! Tell you all, i've been so so so extremely busy for these 2 weeks. Everyday no time to eat and no time to seat. I've been so busy with Asian Aerospace & i'm helping out in the Asian Aerospace 2007. Sometimes i think i'm a super woman leh....5 people's job i gotta do single handedly (bao sua bao hai!!!) I'm really shack man! As i am in-charge of a Networking event for the AA 2007, i gotta take care of marketing collaterals, event planning and liasing with the event site which is Raffles Hotel, gotta do some designing work, monitor the RSVP of the invited guests, do logistics, and whole day calling this person that person. Collapse man!!!! Tired!!!!

44. How's Your Valentine's Day?

2006-02-15T00:32:00.000+08:00

Many friends just asked me how is my Vday? Well, i'm not attached currently so of course i spent tis day without any bf :( But well, it may not be a bad thing afterall 'cos i can spend some time with my mummy. This yr is probably the 1st Vday i spend with her 'cos every yr i would probably be out. I've also invited my close pal, Shelley, to come over my place to have steamboat as today is also my lunar birthday. I mean, it is not necessary that you spend Vday with your gf/bf/spouse. You can spend it with anyone whom you luff!

Overall, i'm very happy to have spent tis special day with my mommy & my close friend. Both of them gave me very nice flowers.

As for the steamboat, it was a spread!!! My mom prepared everything herself, from soup base to ingredients. So sweet hor? At the end of the dinner, all of us were so damn full lo! After that my mom even brought out a cute little round pink cake that she bought for me, and we sang the Chinese Birthday song to celebrate my lunar bday.......lol! The most touching part is that mommy took out a surprise present, and that was a pair of Destinee earrings which i've always wanted! It was really a surprise 'cos yesterday she bluffed me that the last pair of earrings was bought by a lady already. And i was so disappointed upon hearing that. So you guys can imagine how touched i was when i saw the earrings. I know she did all these to make me happy, and make me feel loved even if i'm single! THANK U MOMMY, LOVE YA!

43. Asia Aerospace 2006

2006-02-14T12:36:00.000+08:00

Phew! What a hot and humid Valentine's Day! I just came back from the Asia Aerospace site. Went there at 9am for a company level briefing and also to tour around. It was really hot like hell lo!!!! Perspired like mad, felt so uncomfortable everywhere. But i must say that the site is really huge and can't wait to see the airshows and the new Airbus 380. For those who are interested in going to the Asia Aerospace, the exhibition is opened to public on 25 - 26 Feb and tickets can be purchased @ Sistic. This will be a great show i believe. It's an opportunity not to be missed!

Hmmm....Valentine's Day but still gotta work 'tho. So tired now. And today happens to be my lunar birthday also :) To celebrate this two ocassions, i'll be having steamboat @ home with mom and i've invited Shelley to join us @ the dinner table too. Well, even if one's not attached doesn't mean he/she is gonna be lonely today ;p Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

42. Weeee........So Happy!

2006-02-07T17:21:00.000+08:00

I'm looking forward to next week 'cos it's my birthday celebration. This year I'll be celebrating with my new colleagues at RX. We'll probably just go KTV @ K Box I guess. Hai also no time to celebrate with all my friends because of the Asian Aerospace 2006. My birthday conincidently falls on the 1st day of the AA Show which is on the 21st Feb. Anyway, I should be going to MOS during next weekend also just to unwind and gather with some friends. Guess that night is gonna be quite happening....kekekee.....for me la 'cos i am expecting some really special friends to come! Hahahaha........some may know what i'm talking about 'tho.

40. It's Chinese New Year!

2006-01-31T14:50:00.000+08:00

Wow...CNY is here again! Have been busy playing so no time to blog till now. Well this year i was quite a good gal 'cos i stayed home to pack my stuff & accompanied my mum on CNY eve. Normally, every year i'll also go out & club or squeeze among the crowd @ Chinatown. As for the 1st day of CNY, i went to my grandma's house to visit during dinner time. I bought 2 boxes of mango pudding that are in the shape of a koi fish from Crystal Jade for my relatives. The presentation looks wonderful but the taste wasn't so great after all, so i won't buy them next year le. After dinner, i went MOS with my cousin, Shelley, Mickey & friends. Well, it was quite fun except that some idiot went to splash red wine on the dance floor in the Smoove Room. Then the wine stained my cousin's shirt and splashed onto Shelley & the rest also. I didn't get much of it 'cos i was wearing black & red. Wah! All of them were so pissed but too bad we couldn't find the culprit.

I went home with my cousin 'cos i've gotta drive him & his car home. As both of us drank quite a lot, I didn't want him to drive so i sacrifice lo.........:) But good thing there wasn't TP....hahahaha! 2nd day of CNY was visiting @ my place. So i was busy receiving guests & all. After that, i went to 1 of my aunts' house to watch lion dance. Actually it's the same routine every year la. Next destination is another aunt's house to gamble. Hmmm....so sad lost about $110 yesterday cos of some irritants that spoiled my mood! I can't gamble when someone irks me.....but well hope today will be a better day lo! All the best to myself later at the mj table!!!! :)

38. Spring Cleaned My Workstation

2006-01-19T17:37:00.000+08:00

Wow....so shack....the whole day i've been spring cleaning my workstation. It is filled with all the files and documents since year 2000 i think! My work area really needed some packing to free up space. Damn tired now......but so happy to see my workstation being so much neater. And to welcome CNY, i've even hung some cute cute deco to liven up this serious and no-nonsense corner..... :)

37. Shopping Queen!

2006-01-18T15:05:00.002+08:00

Yeah! It's CNY again! Time for goodies, ang baos, mahjong, fun & laughter! Best of all, it's the best excuse to revamp my wardrobe!!! I've started shopping for new year clothes since end of last year till now & i realised that i've at least 30 pieces of new tops but don't have matching bottoms *Faint*........so i went hunting for nice bottoms with my mum and finally got a skirt and 2 three-quarts. But i'm still looking for some more leh........And i'm also very happy that i've bought a new Adidas red-coloured watch which i've always wanted. I've bought 2 pairs of new shoes and 1 pair of sports shoes also. Now i'm only missing a new bag.......hmmm............can't wait for CNY!

36. Interesting Points to Note

2006-01-18T14:44:00.000+08:00

I read this from my friend's blog and i thought it would be useful for the others to read. Hence, i copied and pasted here.....:)
1) Emergency number The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked.

2) Locked the keys in the car? Your car has remote keys? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you happen to lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are home, call someone on your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the other person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: *It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!"

3) Hidden Battery power Imagine your cell battery is very low, u r expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when u charge your cell next time.

34. Happy New Year !

2006-01-01T06:01:00.000+08:00

It's 2006 & i'm pretty high now.....hahahaha! My resolution? Well.......to get on with life & get something out of my career. At the same time, i also hope that someone right comes along............i'm just waiting for something to work out.

Anyway, i just came back from Ministry of Sound. Tell u, the queue was freaking LOOOONG!!!! I queued like 3 hrs before i could squeeze in! Ya, my count down happened outside MOS in the queue! But i did enjoy myself la except that someone wasn't there only.....I was glad that i saw my friend Michael inside & also a long time friend Kelvin. Kelvin bought me a bottle of Chivas & i drank so much till i even have problem typing now.....lol! K....i gtg rest! Blog another time. Happy New Year everyone!

33. Boring..........

Another 45mins i'll be knocking off.....but i still pretty blank. I came work happily & full of drive but in the afternoon i begun to stone. Something seems missing....missing something. My "kah kis" today all disappear to nowhere.....all got their own stuff to see to. Haiz.....waiting to go home to set up the dinner table 'cos i've invited a few friends over for a post-christmas dinner gathering. Ciao!

32. Enjoying My Work

2005-12-23T12:00:00.000+08:00

Well i'm really enjoying my work nowadays. I'm blending in with more colleagues now and everyday we have a joker to make us laugh & that is Mark! Life isn't that mandane anymore @ RX. My boss came back yesterday & i was sooo....happy to see him. But i dunno if that's a gd thing 'cos everytime he comes back he'll dump me with tons of work....:( Well i kinda like it 'cos this time round my task is of higher challenge and wider scope. But it is stressful @ the same time. The only consoling thing was that he commended my work & told me he's proud of me.... ;) It's comforting to hear that i am of great help to him and he appreciates all my efforts. He even gave me a spa range of products for X'mas. So sweet right? I really gotta say that my boss is really cool & smart person, and i really look up to him! Great mentor! Hmmm, i'm only waiting for a chance to be posted overseas 'cos it'll be a great learning experience & i can finally get out of Singapore which is a place of too many hurting memories........

31. Super Fun Saturday

2005-12-18T23:21:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a real fun day which I haven't had for a long time. For the 1st time I went KTV at 11 am! I went with my colleagues, Camie, Qi Jin, Mark & Jonathan. Tell u, the session was so crazy. Think everyone hasn't woke up so all went 'xiao'. And especially with Mark around, everyone will just laugh till u drop dead. He's really a joker who never fails to amaze me or entertain me. With him around, there isn't a moment of time i feel sad. He managed to make me laugh my troubles away & even stop thinking of my ex. He's damn funny! After 5 hours of KTV, i headed to Suntec to do my manicure & pedicure for X'mas. Mark went down with me to meet his friend there 'cos I insisted that he wait for me to go dinner.........hahahaha.....! As for the rest, they all had dinner appointments.

I had dinner with Mark & his friend Joshua @ Kuishin-bo. The 2 big guys really enjoyed the food there lo! They really could eat man! The nicest thing was Mark helped me shelled out the crab 'cos i didn't wanna damage my manicure......lol! The way he tried to scrap the flesh out was so comical till i couldn't help but to laugh. Then he even said that i should count myself lucky 'cos he doesn't even do that for any of his gfs. Hahaha......so? But it was very nice of him though! After the scrumptious dinner, we gathered back @ Camie's place for MAHJONG SESSION!!! Wah kao.....i couldn't stop laughing & arguing with Mark leh. He & I have this funny habit of squabbling non-stop. Can't stand it lo. But anyway in the end i lost a bit la.....so i shall revenge the next time!!!! The underlying conclusion is that i really enjoyed myself a lot that Saturday!

30. I Sprained My Wrist...:(

2005-12-15T13:13:00.000+08:00

Haiz........sprained my wrist on Monday @ work while carrying a bag full of greeting cards that were waiting to be sent out to my boss' associates. I think i didn't carry the bag up properly from the floor & so i ended up hurting my wrist the moment i took it up. Actually, I thought after a few days it should be fine but then my wrist swelled & i had to go to the bone-setter just now during lunch. Wow!!! The physician twisted & bent my arm like nothing man! Crack here & there.......damn pain lo!!! But now it's ok le...but my hand is bandaged. Luckily it's my right wrist not my left........lol.

But when i was there, i kinda recalled that the last time i was there was with one of my ex-bf last year. I sprained my ankle then......ya i know i keep spraining here & there.....but i remembered him carrying me down the 2 level of stairs after my ankle was bandaged. I thought that it was quite sweet of him then.......thinking of it just brings a smile onto my face. But then again, that was the only sweet thing he did......hahahaha.

28. So Stress!!!

2005-12-08T23:53:00.000+08:00

Just came back from office at 11.20pm!!! OMG.....so much work to do! I dunno whether my boss is trying to drive me away or trying to test my capability that's why he's pushing me so hard. Dying soon.........

I was @ the office with another colleague. Envy her......'cos her hubby came to fetch her. So sweet right? How i wish i also had someone to pamper me when i'm so tired and suffering from fatigue. Just need a warm hug and a chest to rest on after such a long long day. Well......it was just a thought that flashed by 'cos i'm too busy & tired to ponder over such issues now. If someone right comes along, well that'll be a blessing. If not, life goes on 'cos there's too much other stuff for me to handle now. Ok just a short blog for tonight. Gtg continue my work and email my BOSS! Tata.......

27. Victoria Secret's Sale!!!

2005-12-05T23:14:00.000+08:00

Hmm...haven't blogged for a while. Been so busy with work & thus so lazy to switch on my PC. Well my weekend was busy but fun. I had lotsa work to do till I can't even attend my friend's birthday celebration :( But anyway, I did take a little time off and went to the Victoria Secret's sale with my mummy! I managed to buy a Nike white top & i love love love the material.....so thin and comfy! Then I also bought a real comfortable sports bra, & 3 lacey panties....lol!

And today, I was @ Beaufort around 8am busy organising the Emagineering Workshop for our regional colleagues. And it was a good experience 'cos i got to meet the other Directors, Presidents & colleagues from China, Australia, Thailand, UK, USA, etc. After a busy morning, I went back to the office to continue my work!! So much WORK!!! Got presentations to do, must send out 400 X'mas cards for my boss, must do the stuff for the Regional Marketing Academy on Thurs & Fri......*bish*.......Help me out here man! Stress!!! But good la. It keeps my mind off nonsense......hahaha! And finally, I managed to squeeze some time out at late evening to cut my hair. Now it has more volume and layers, and my stylist gave me a messy look (he loves to do that to my hair. dunno y also.... he hates hair that's neat :p)!!! Before I went home, I went to meet Joe for a while @ Far East 'cos he just knock off. Haven't seen him for some time & happened to think of him so just met him for a smoke. He has become very style now tho.....a cute Hongkie indeed! After that he offered to accompany me to wait for a cab @ the super long queue b4 he went home. So while waiting, we started catching up with each other. And I realised his Birthday is this Friday. Hmm...what should I get him? Dunno la....let's see what I can think off. But anyway, I'll be meeting him for dinner soon. And now I'm super lethargic....gonna K.O. due to fatigue already........*faint*

3. RX 93.5!

2005-09-23T22:30:00.000+08:00

Today is Friday & it's our dress-down day @ the office. But not only that, it's also the RX 93.5 session. The theme was "Violet on Your Chest" so I wore a purple spaghetti with a purple bear hanging around my neck that drops to my chest. This small gathering is a welcome sesssion for the new colleagues & also an update for everyone on the lastest statistics of each business unit. This time round Alice & I were the newbies, thus we had to put up an entertaining item to let the other staff know more about us. Hence, I came up with the idea of incorporating health and beauty tips while presenting our interests & hobbies. At the same time, we played some hip hop and R&B music in the background to liven up the atmosphere. In order to increase the entertainment value, we even sabotaged the audience. Calvin from Finance was picked by me to be my model when I was trying to demostrate how to use green tea bags to heal dark eye rings & puffy eyes. Tell u, he was damn funny & sporting! He simply lied down on the floor & everyone asked me to sit on top of him to do the demo! My goodness......everyone went gaga! Lol........!!!!!

The 2nd sabotage was dragging Jeremy from Operations Dept to me our model for demostrating the right way to remove lipstick. This demo was even funnier than the 1st 'cos Alice applied the RED lipstick on Jeremy & I had to help him remove it. And this time, the audience asked me to kiss him......hahahaha! OMG.....it was so funny till everyone was laughing like HELL! I never thought it would turn out to be such an entertaining presentation. Of course I was glad that it was a success and I enjoyed myself too....and the most comforting thing was being praised by my boss as a confident speaker and the item was very creative. To add, I even won a $30 voucher for being one of the 3 staff with the most outstanding outfit.

Finally I managed to get a job after I graduated from RMIT/SIM & after sending out hundreds of resumes. I started my 1st day @ Reeds Exhibition on 7 September 2005. It's a big organisation and the working environment is pretty comfy. My direct boss is quite a nice guy but he's always flying around so basically I'm very much on my own. I love the pantry @ the office because I get to drink mocha/cappucino everyday and it's very big and modern as compared to some other pantries of the companies I used to work for. Anyway, I hope I will stay on this job for sometime........
