280808 - RMIT Graduation

Whoohoo~!! Finally declare graduates from RMIT!! I can finally jump for laughter as my 2years of hardship have all been paid off for one piece of paper.


The awards ceremony was kind of a low class one. With chairs lousier than Ngee Ann's and hall much smaller than Ngee Ann's. Though there's a tea reception at the end of the ceremony, i seriously rather they dont have this. Food tasted yucky and super not user friendly. Serving snails for the guests? My tian~! Many of the guest (including my mummy) who's illiterate to english characters just eat watever is on the tray! Not to mention the english illiterates, in this small and crowdy atrium, people just take whatever food at arms length! Janice and my mum ate the snail pie without knowing its snail (they thought it was mushrooms) and got a shock out of themselves after knowing the truth!

Its so disgusting! And this tea reception is a very very good example of the kiasu-ness of Singaporeans! Squeezing and pushing one another just to take food. No order at all! Not only about the food. Many are so rude!

Walking through graduates who are trying very hard to take some pictures of themselves with the school etc. There were no words of "excuse me" or "sorry" for their rude actions! Many times Janice have to tell the person blocking our way to excuse themselves.

This whole event was so un-glam. I really missed Ngee Ann. It felt more like a University to me than SIM. Haix..

But anyway.. My cheeks were swelling after the long hours of photo shooting once we put on our gowns. Hahaha! Not only my cheeks, my back and my head were in pain from the long hours of heavy wear. Hahaha! Its really one good experience of gown wearing.

Post Grad Celebration

Shall write about the post grad event since I have not gotten most of my convocation pics.. Hahaha.. Well, post grad celebration was not with my Uni pals, but with some close mates from poly.. Invited some very weird combination from different cliques - My jie meis, BIT cliques, TA03 guy cliques & Lionel to The Clinic for a mini gathering. But only 5 of us out of the 9 invitees turned up?


Stupid Ben Ben.. last min went for some game competition.. what? Wanna win a trip to Korea? Hmm.. Its not impossible.. but well.. haha..Jia you ah!! So poor thing for Tong, the only guy among 4 gals.. Haha! Was bullying him on our way home since we all live around the same area.. Hahaha!


But he wasnt the one who got bullies k.. Im also one of the victim.. Sob Sob.. that lili disfigured my "angelic" face while taking some photo shots of me with the drinks.. But anyway.. Im not those petty sort.. as long as everybody had some laughter.. Its okay for me to be the clown in action.. Hahaha... Why Ji Jiao so much? And it true of lili to say if she didnt create some jokes, the whole night will be quite PEACEFUL.. LOL..

The gathering was a long and peaceful one (we didnt expect us to stay past mid night since there's only a few of us). Updating ourselves about our directions and doings. Tong especially had updated much about himself since he's a fresh student from NS. Surely its tough for him to adapt to the competitive campus pace after 2 long years of "caging". But with his sociable and hardworking attitude. He should be fine for his 3/4 years of Real Estate course.

Planned for another meet up to the Kallang Ice Skating Complex probably in mid September with the same bunch and probably another weird combination. Hahaha! Coz another unfamiliar clique from Carter's side might be joining. Hmm...

We'll just wait and see ba~~ Shall entry for my convocation soon~!!

My 1st Branded

Am I to be happy or not?

Why do I have mixed feelings even when I spend something I like on myself?

Guess that's because of the in-born thriftiness in me that's playing a trick on me.

Though I yearned to have a branded (at least one) that's bought out of my pocket, I didnt know it will give me this much pain & sour-ness.

Will I still splurge on it if i knew it would bring me much entangled thoughts and feel?


Omma Lim....
You're crazy...
Absolutely crazy...
To buy....
This..





Im bringing overnight rice to work now...
Save as much as I can to make me feel better..
Omma Lim..
YOU CAN DO IT !!

The goods leave.. The bad stay..

Had a farewell lunch with Kartono, Wendy and Ms See on Wednesday..
Its also the day after Nakka left FDI..
Its really shocking that so many staff left FDI since our move to Gateway.
Blame it on feng shui? I doubt so..
Nakka & Kartono have been with FDI since beginning when FDI was first set up in 2005.
They've been here for almost 3 years.
What made them leave?
Environment?
Work?
People?
Benefits?
All of the above are not the reasons for their resignation.
Its because of the way FDI treat their staff.
Promoting "smart" people and ignoring the silent workers.
Is that the way?
4 words.... 没天理啊~!
Kartono said... Keeping the "intelligent" workers and abandoning the "working" workers is a disaster..
To be evil for this second..
Lets see how long FDI will survive..
Evil Kartono.. Influence me on these thoughts..
But.. Its a nice one..

=)

Farewell my Mates~~

GOOD LUCK KARTONO & WENDY..


TAKE CARE KARTONO & WENDY..


STAY CHEERFUL KARTONO & WENDY..


THINK OF US KARTONO & WENDY..




STUDY HARD WENDY..


WORK HARD & EARN BIG KARTONO..


CALL US (INCLUDING AGUNG) WENDY..


BON VOYAGE KARTONO..
BYE BYE....

Phenomenal Phelps

WHOO HOO!!!!!!!
MICHAEL PHELPS WON~!!

MICHAEL PHELPS 8TH GOLD MEDAL~!!
MICHAEL PHELPS THE HISTORY MAKER~!!


MICHAEL PHELPS...........


THE PHENOMENAL PHELPS.

Over sensitive


Ive been having this feeling this week. Am I leaving the company for good or is the company ditching me for good?

When Joane tendered, it took weeks for us to find a suitable replacement, and we're still finding her replacement now. When I tender, only a week later, my replacement is recruited and will be reporting to work on this coming Monday.

Looking at the corporate view, its good as Sheri wont be handling all the PMO work herself after i leave. But, deep down personally.. I got a feeling that they're happy to shoo me off.. Finally?

Days ago.. Sheri said something to me that kinda disappoint me. "Chingu.. why everybody keep coming to me for tasks addition ah? They seem to forget about your presence.. Hahah". Forget my presence while im still here? So fast? I felt like crying at that moment.

I had a enjoyable time working with the Indians. They taught me a lot not only from the working perspective, but also from the cultural perspective. I used to be a racist person especially to the Indians coz they looked scary, pervert-ive and dirty. But im no longer racist against them now. They're fun people to work with. Really.

I start to think. Whether its all a one-sided feeling from the beginning? I enjoyed working with them and will surely remember the happy memories I had with them. What about them? Will they remember me too? Will they miss the 'Shuin' they always call? Will Malik miss his "sister"? Will Mahesh miss his "dear"? Will Seany miss shouting "go home so early again"?

That day, when Ms See asked me whether Im excited about the new job.. I gave her a "NO". Think i finally understand how Jan felt when she was about to start her job at Deloitte. No excitements, but rather.. Mixed feelings.

Leaving from my comfort zone gave me a sense of insecurity. Kept asking papa about budgeting.. management accounting etc.. Told papa about what a used-to-be-friend of mine critic-ed about my new job and new company.

Haix.. I gotta move out of my comfort zone, work hard and stay focus in my new work! Like what Mr Yeo said about the giving of name card scenario.. I will always remember it!

(My desk at FDI.. I will always remember~)

Re. Kate Spade Bag

I just realised im being fooled by CBG and BIL again!!! Arghhzz!!!

On my 21st.. they lied to me that the Titus watch that they bought cost $1.2k where actually it has one ZERO less in the lied amount.

Now.. they lied to me that the Kate Spade bag cost $2k+ and after confirmation and checking through the net and with a friend, it cost about 1/3 of the lied amount. =.=

CBG!!! Stupid FROG!!! You 2~!!!!!!!!!!!!

생일 축하 합니다 ! - (II)

I got a Kate Spade Bag!! I got a Kate Spade Bag!!
Yeah~!!
Was very delighted when I saw the HUGE green box CBG was hugging. Actually I sorta guessed they (CBG & BIL) got me a Kate Spade bag when I met CBG on Friday. She kept mumbling about the cost of a Kate Spade bag and that told me that they cant afford to spend on it since it cost 4 digits etc.. And when I was looking at the bags in Robinsons, she started to get panicked *she got a I-cant-say-lies* face and kept pulling me away from the bags section and even commented things about professional bags since i gonna really enter the work force soon etc etc.... =.=
Nevertheless, was still glade that I got a 1st real branded *apart from Elle" bag! Notice i used "a" instead of "my"? Coz i didnt buy it with my own money!!
We shall wait... wait till i think its finally time for me to buy a branded, and with my own money. I will use "MY". Hohoho..

Anyway.. My birthday on the actual day was a simple and peaceful one. But, guessed it wasnt an auspicious day to play board games. I've lost a game of scrabble 1st time out of the numerous rounds i had with CBG & BIL!!! (><) But one thing for sure, I sure am not good in Monopoly. Dont like that game!!! Losing money and my estates!!!! Arghhz~!!

생일 축하 합니다 ! - (I)

20mins "shopping" & 40mins eating with BD was pleasant.
Teasing Wendy to buy pressie for me was fun.
Building a "Oppa Jr." myself was exciting.
Acting tourists in Clark Quay was foolish.
Food in Waraku was fascinating.
Activity in Minds Cafe was enjoyable and hilarous.
A day with CBG was peaceful without BIL.
Longevity noodles from Mummy was appreciated.
A morning with continuous SMS wishes was touching.
My pre-birthday activities with my dear friends & family was a memorable one.

NDP Preview


My 1st LIVE NDP in my 23 years!! Though its not the actual day of NDP, but still.. I enjoyed it very much!!

All Singaporeans should watch NDP LIVE on stage at least once in their life!!

The normal and repeatitions of Marches, Firing, Parachuting, Fighter planes, Fireworks etc every year were extremely stunning, mesmerizing and gorgeous on LIVE!!! Giving me goosebumps throughout and my mouth were not once closed!!

Especially the fireworks, its like raining fireworks!!!!

Ben Dan said the fireworks fell on him and he actually felt the heat! Wah!!! See!! You will never experience that if you watch it from far or watch it on tv. Hohoo!! Fireworks on preview is only 60% and yet its already so stunning.. 100% on the actual day? My gosh!!

(wanted to put up the fireworks video.. but the size is super big.. hoho.. too bad)
