1 Day Legoland Tour

Yawns! The girls overnight at my place and we set-off to our trip to Legoland at 0615 am!

Jams at the causeway is not unusual on a Saturday and we made use of this to recoup our energy before we go excited at the amusement park. The coach stopped at Heng's Heng's Kopitiam for breakfast and mygosh! signature dishes in Malaysia can be found there. Like the 芽菜鸡 from Ipoh, 猪肠粉 from KL and 炒果条 from Penang. We had a very satisfying breakfast and immediately set off for Legoland!

Heng's Heng's Kopitiam

It was crowded with people already at around 10 am and we quickly scanned through the map and rushed for the first ride that we saw, Project X coaster. It was nothing compared to the Mummy's ride in USS seriously. The speedy turns only made you giddy, less the thrills. We went for the 2nd ride, Knight's Feast which many said is the most exciting ride among all. However, it turned out a disappointment for it's faulty track.

Project X Ride at Lego Technic

We queued like about 30 mins and announcements that they have experienced faulty tracks with the ride were made. We were hoping that it will be resolved soon, but the queue was not moving after 30 mins. And so, we decided to give up and walked around the park for more interesting rides.

Can see Cannot Ride - The faulty Knight's Feast Ride

The park is really small, not even 10 mins, we finished walking and scanning through the park and decided on our final ride that made us all soaking wet, Dino Island. It's something similar to the slide we have at Haw Par Villa many years ago.

We didn't want to go home empty handed and so we tried our luck at the mini game booths trying to win a big toy home. But, we failed. And we decided to spend our ringgit on souvenirs in their souvenirs shop. Got myself a Lego Dragon Key chain and a 5 & 7 Series Lego figurine.

How can we miss taking pictures with LegoMan?!

Meeting time was 0345 pm for a tour around a Chocolate Factory in JB. Nothing much there, so we headed for shopping at AEON (f.k.a. JUSCO). We were given only an hour to shop around the mall, and we spent that hour in COTTON ON. PHAIL to the max! But we went back satisfied! Got myself a beautiful top and dress, and it cost only RM50 which is like around SGD20?!?!

The day ended with a nice restaurant dinner in JB and *sinful* supper at Newton Food Centre when we reach Singapore.

20.12.2012

It's a day before the Dooms!Day as many of my colleagues were saying. And to celebrate the day, Bro Foo brought the AP Team out for lunch despite of his coughing. Awww~ So sweet of him!

The week before was totally full of fun and laughter. Farewell tea for P, Christmas Party at DIS and celebrating our dear Boy's birthday.

Merry Christmas 2012! - Decorative Items from George!

It was awkward talking to P as I only know him as one who treat his students and lecturers more importantly than the Admin staff. Well, I could be having wrong judgement about him but that's really what I felt through the 2 staff rallies I went. Anyway, the Department got him a gadget watch that according to my Director, he love it very much being a gadget-guy. The SPM made shoot an MV with a song that was composed by one of the Directors. It was hilarious when DP came out first with tune going off-keys all over the notes.

Went to "show-face" at DIS's Christmas Party and my gosh! We were welcomed with door gifts made with love by the colleagues. Huge model versions of Rochers, Mentos, Lollipops, Kisses, etc can be found hanging in the office. Lucus as usual is very proud of his skills in roasting Turkey, but we were too full to try some. Sorry!

Dear Boy's birthday celebration up-next and we went around Orchard searching for Japanese cuisine just to satisfy his craving. Finally settled for one at Cineleisure and Sinnee Is Crazy almost stuffed herself to death. Karma for ordering almost everything on the menu. Haha! But it was really fun with the group. Always crazy and full of ROARING laughter. "Image" definitely doesn't exist in the dictionary when you're with them. Love Team MSS loads!



Team MSS!

Criticism & Attitude Problem?

I have to write this, just for ranting purposes.

My new partner (we call her DOS cos' of her ancient technology skills), has been criticizing one of the team members on her dressing. Not once, but many times. Criticisms like her fashion-sense, why wear jeans on formal working day, etc seriously pissed my colleague off.

There was one encounter when she wore a super short jumper the day after she criticized my colleague who was wearing jeans skirt. And today, on a Wednesday, she wore a mini skirt in jeans material.

Double-standard.

So I was evil and decided to make some "remarks" her dressing.

Me: Eh, why you wearing Jeans today?
DOS: *mumbles to my colleague* Say louder lah
Me: Huh?? You on half-day today??
DOS: How I wish *in a sarcastic tone*

My colleague and I happen to be on lync and she told me to be careful and not to have clashes with her. Reason being she overheard DOS gossiping with the other colleagues about my attitude and was ranting that I have attitude problem and that she finds difficulty talking to me.

Well, I didn't cared much cos' she doesn't understand me, the colleagues she were gossiping with doesn't understand me too. So rightfully, the statements they made about me is not genuine. But somehow, the thought that someone is making wrong statements about me kept haunting me. And the feeling is not good at all.

I dislike the feeling of being wronged by fools.

I was ranting about me feeling imbalance at the thought that I'm there slogging and DOS was there (practically every working day) doing nothing but yawn. And this reply by Rob Chan cheered me up big time.

POLY-50 [2012]

Although most of the runners were running in the heavy pour, I had fun with the team and enjoyed it totally. The past few months of training didn't went down the drain at all as it was the bonding that's the whole objective of participating in Year 2012 POLY-50. Another year full-strength for team FIN.

Well done team, we did it with PRIDE.

All the support from Tina <3 nbsp="nbsp">

AWOL day~

I came to a decision to AWOL today for work last night when something kept bothering me so much that I didn't really feel enthusiastic about going to work. Won't talk about what happened, and shall just try my best to follow what I wrote on my Facebook status update:

So I spent the day at home, free from the air outside, cleaning my room. Well, the Mom has been nagging me to start cleaning my room for New Year 2012 (yes yes, we always start cleaning around THAT early~), and so since I'm in the mood for it, I've decided to "stop" the weekend morning nags.

Found these super epic toys that I took over the ownership free-of-charge. Didn't know I have such capabilities of handling all these transfer of properties since young~ 

GAME BOY from Soulmate and TETRIS from Cousin

Relaxing moments never last, and as I was chatting with Team MSS on Whatsapp, I realised it's already 10:00pm and there goes my AWOL day....

Holes.

LSD: My socks got hole sia!
TKH: My nose got 2 holes sia

And me being one who can laugh at the slightest bit of joke couldn't stop laughing and for that instant, I totally understand what "LSHMBB" that Sinnee always say stands for. "Laughing So Hard My Belly is Bouncing My gosh!! Such fun loving colleagues I befriend with in the Campus. My only factor that keeps me in the School. LOVE Them Loads!

Daddy's Stories

1972.National Day.Sunday.2nd Day on the 7th Month Lunar Calendar

Daddy used to accompany Grandma to the wet market for groceries shopping every Sunday without fail. 1972's National Day was the 2nd day on the Lunar Calendar and it was on a Sunday, and as usual, Daddy woke up early and saw Grandma already up, washing herself, preparing for the trip.

After 30 minutes and Grandma has not gone out of the house, Daddy went back the house terrified to see Grandma lying on the floor unconscious. Grandma passed away the following day....

1958.Peaceful Day 

Grandpa was a very hardworking person and never fails to prepare for business even when he was given opportunities to rest. The family owned a cotton and cloth business around the kumpung neighbourhood then, selling handmade cloth to the Malays. 

The family slept on the top of the shop and the kitchen was at the ground floor. One day, Grandpa was resting in the shop when nobody was at home. Everyone went home gradually but Grandpa never woke up..... 

Family.Business.Entertainment.Fun

TRUST was the word the the family believes in the business operations. Grandpa never collects money when he went selling around the neighbourhood. He trust that they will one day, come back to his shop with the monies and they did eventually. 

Siblings will get together and pack the cotton wools in 500g each for sale. It was though packing while in tears due to the dust of the cotton. But they had great laughter in the process. Simple and fun-loving family bonding, they called it.

In the past, the family was the only family around the neighbourhood who had television. Television was in black and white and they only had 2hrs of screening time per set. It was operated in normal battery (with higher voltage) then. They always had a fun time with the neighbourhood who flocked to their house for entertainment. 

Present.Now 

I now understand why Daddy love reminiscing about the past. He always feel that out family is lacking in a lot of ways and we never had the fun and loving family bond he grew up in. We are individual and intolerable over the most trival issue.

The family story that Daddy said explains all about his mild character. I am glad that my Daddy grew up in such loving family and I am happy that I'm able to hear these stories that I never knew from him.

FOCUS DENISE LIM!

SHIT!!! I should be packing my bag but instead I'm looking at his facebook?! WHY?! DIE!!!

(Pulling myself back from the taboo zone)

********

Getting angry over Mai Oppa is no fun at all. So much as I want to ignore his messages, those flowery emoticons kept popping out and I'm seriously... lousy. Giving in to him that easily!!?! Just hope that the next time he can give smarter excuses for rejecting meetings. NO "lazy" as an excuse!!

Had my first 2012 Birthday celebration with my dearest Toby He & our Ipoh friend, Vince at a cool vintage cafe (Carpenter & Cook) nearby my place, helping a mother look after his son at a random bus stop and enjoying a very *duh* movie recommended by Ms He~ Love them both!

My Birthday Cake at the Cafe *yums*

Sunday was fun day out at the Karaoke and Gardens By The Bay with my Piggies Juniors. Singing our lungs out at Maroon 5's Move Like Jagger and the "Puts" at 2PM's Put Your Hands Up.

With My First Found Junior!

And the 2nd cheeky one!

One we took previously. :)

Soon the long awaiting (erm, not that long from my previous trip) Penang Trip is coming! My first time celebrating National Day outside of Singapore!! So exciting!! The trip should be fun with my dear Jan and Koe Koe! ^^

*********

Time to pack bag!

Trying...

Trying to enjoy my life these days, seriously..

There have been times where I really think life shouldn't be that way, no matter how impossible you think it can be in your own way. I always have the urge to tell friends who bored them down with the piles of uncleared stuffs (aherm, that includes myself) "Get a Life!"

So.... I have been for the past 2 weeks...

- Cleared my "desk"drobe (re-organising my workstation)
- Going for gatherings (the poly and brothers gathering)
- Logging in to MSN during working hours (finally after SO long)
- Got rid of my purplish pink specs! Woosh!

The Dinner at Heng Heng with my Parents

My fav Long Island Tea @ Timbre with the Poly Gals~

Iced Ice Balls strongly REJECTED by the Brothers

Definitely there's more to come like the coming photography activity at the other part of Singapore with Lulu and gang! And of course my new dance (street jazz) class at Orchard.

*************

I was back Ngee Ann Poly for a sharing session recently and my gosh! The campus has changed greatly! No more Canteen 3 (*sobs* where's the yummy butter rice~), School of BA changed completely, new "dress" for School of the Film, Arts and Studies, new central Makan Place (the biggest foodcourt in campus), Air-conditioned Canteen 2 and the revamp of the Sports Complex!

Our discussion after the sharing session ended at around 5.45pm, pointless to travel back to office (yesh!) so we part our ways from the Campus. It's been long since I took a walk through the Staff Apartments back home and the interesting memories came back as I passed by the Sports Complex.

The days where my belly button got hit in my initial attendance at Squash's practices, that one unforgettable time when I got hit by a basket ball at the half BBall court while waiting for BD, and the time where I felt so hurt by Toshio's (a guy I had a crush on back then) disappointment in his 2.4km NAPFA... Blahs~

So nice to be back Campus!!!

*************

New Camera my BIL bought. Looks cool~

Egg wrapped Japanese Rice at the Neighbourhood

Brother Foo say seeds of Jackfruit taste like potato after long boiling. I wonder if Durian seeds can be eaten that way too~ hmm.....

"Fevers" after the Holidays

Holiday to Medan, Ipoh and followed by Kuala Lumpur is a good break from the reality and how I wish the travel journey can continue for long...

Few months ago, my partner asked for a transfer to a new setup centre and this was approved with lots of regrets. The overloaded things that my partner do was emphasised at every opportunities that she have with the Director but the concerns were never taken into serious consideration and not to even say, plans for improvement. Thus, my partner was smart enough to grab when opportunity came along. For this, her workload was finally taken into consideration and was successfully segregated out to the respective sections responsible. Everything came too late.. If only they have planned with execution earlier, things will definitely improve. Which is why the sayings, "regrets comes when it's too late".

I have been going for meetings very lately and this is really draining. No contributions you can say in my roles at meetings, but seriously, what is there to contribute when you are treated as an amateur and when your idea came out of your mouth too late. Slow in digesting information I admit, but to sit in a LONG discussion beating around the bush and with noise pollution, at times, it's really not effective to have such meetings.

Looking at the datelines that I have on my list, and the tons of job that I have to take over my partner, I just feel like I'm losing myself. Does anybody know and cares about what I am seriously doing? It may seem no value add to the section with my "Finance Officer" title, but the operational work is definitely in a time-consuming manner that you can never imagine. So much for "that's why people say employing FO is of no difference as employing a Mso". It's really disheartening when you are indirectly termed as "brainless" just because the method you took is not effective.

I was given this title, I did not asked for this title.

A Day at our "Sibling's" place

Skipping the VPN Token Training from CIS, I went to Republic Polytechnic for a sharing session on their paperless payment process. This is the first time I've seen a Finance Office paper-less. What amazes me was the fence-less construction in the School. Indeed a designer award construction, the institution looked totally different from the other Polytechnics! They even have an own lake within the campus and this made the stressful work and studying life in campus more peaceful.

Met up with my dear ex-colleagues Sandy and Mei Yee Foo, who are working there now for lunch and ohmy~ Words can't describe how wonderful it was to see them again. *Misses* indeed to their suan-ings and sisterly care for me. =]

However misses I have, we have to learn to accept and let go in all situations in life. I guess this had happened too much ever since my journey here in SP, so much that I am kind of immune to all the movements already. Coming back to the office after a long "break" from office environment only to receive the news that my partner will be transferring to a new centre really startled me.

Mixed feelings I had and is still having now, but glad thing is that she's still intact in campus, and that I know that she's always there to help when I'm in doubt. Just that I have no official reasons to bother her with every thing in our operations. Work aside, I am sad that my wonderful working partner and cubicle mate will be "leaving" the office. No more gossips, screams and laughter in my little corner soon.

Sighs....

Disco Fever!

It's the annual Oldies meet up and I am SO happy!! With the light sticks that Ah Mel brought, Ah Bui and myself totally indulged in our world of K-POP; screaming and grooving to the max.

I was extremely thrilled when there's KOnglish in one of the K-POP MVs we selected. How wonderful it'll be if there's KOnglish in ALL K-POP songs! =D

Walked around ION with Toby after the screams and was quite disappointed to see the indifferent prices on the price tags even during the GSS period. Sighs, have not much to look forward to the shopping with BD tomorrow after tonight's experience.

Love Sweets from Hokkaido - Wishes from Toby He~
I'm a no-sweet person but "have" to eat this as this is meaningful and just when I was about to pop in one of the sweets, that sweet dropped! *cries* does that mean I won't have any luck in finding my other half? I have to go to the extend of the previous unsuccessful relationship I had to console myself. Ended up popping another one and this time it was done with caution. XD



Money Turtle from Taiwan - Wishes from Ah Mel

Graduation 2012

Cheerios to all the ushers, marshalls, sparcs and bouncers who made the annual Graduation ceremony possible! Without the wonderful cooperation, the ceremony wouldn't end with praises from the Director of Academic Studies.

This year's Graduation is definitely more experiencing and exciting being one of the ushers-in-charge. I was assigned to take care of the medallists, prize winners, medallists' guests and of course the other graduants' guests. We've encountered angry and nasty guests, attitude and uncooperative ones and of course, nice and pleasant ones.

It was fun talking over the walkie-talkie and laughing alone hearing the funny comments and conversation from the other ushers-in-charge. One instance was the speech by the guest of honour, where the guest speaker actually prepared 8 pages long of speech and slides! It was so long and we were so worried that the late-guests might be impatient waiting outside the hall! However, we cracked a few jokes over our walkie-talkie that "we need lecture notes~" in the hall in future.

The most memorable session was PACE's session. Only a handful of students since most of the graduands withdrew from the ceremony as they are mostly working adults, we had a hard time filling up the hall with guests. And because of that, we broke the rule of "no children under age 7 allowed into the Convention Hall", and invited some from the auditorium to the hall.

Wrong decision made indeed. Serves us right for breaking the rule. The kids were running about in the hall even during the guest speaker is speaking and this was so embarrassing. Pregnant graduands were seen and one unforgettable incident is that one of the graduands actually forgotten to collect her rope and had to "kapok" the mannequin's! ROFL!!

Tired but fun, this is indeed the most memorable events I participated in SP so far.

The Graduation 2012 Bear that was "left" behind

Music Talent!

I stumbled upon this Youtube video from Facebook and mygosh! This guy is real good! It started off with my Yoga Lin's song - 自然醒 and just as I was about to close the window, thinking it's some song cover that I've already heard, this guy in singlet appeared!

It's not about the guy, but about the materials and how amazing he made use of the simplest objects that is always around us. Textbooks, pillow, biscuit tin covers.... The "drum" melody that came out was totally beautiful.

Concept could be adapted from the Korea's Stomp, but who cares as long as the perfomance earns your cheer and wonderful comments. Claps to Benjamin!

珍惜

人生就是那么的短暂。

光光的莱、光光的去。

财务带不走，爱情带不走。

既然什么都从没属于你，

何不珍惜每一天和自己的时光？

大胆的，放松自己。

勇敢的，挑战自己。

开心的，解放自己。

Friend Leaving

My friend is going back to where she belong and this means I'll increase my level as a quirkyalone very soon. But halt.... Does that mean I'll have more chances to travel? =]

"Sibling"-Ship 

Mr Yeo marked a semicolon in his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and just when he thought the relationship might be better during/after the cooling period, situation turned worse and he pronounce "dead" in this 2.5yrs relationship. I've been through this and the only advice to him is "face it".

Work Anxiety

I'm seriously feeling useless in every projects that I'm involved. The minimal comments I gave was always ignored/rejected and the feeling of being treated like an immature working adult sucks. 6 years of working experience and yet I'm being treated like a small kid. Anything to do with my looks? I second that. Just because I choose to behave bubbly when talking to my colleagues and be silent in most discussion/decision making doesn't mean I have no adequate judgement that I ought to show.

Colleagues are being non-cooperative and this causes a delay in my work that the auditor need. My fault? Why is it so that arrows are always pointing at me when I am just a worker. I really drag being in a coordinator role in every job that I've done. I am utterly disappointed with the management, still. Always not knowing (or don't even give a damn) to the things that I'm doing. Just because as an OCD, I clear my tray (my fault again for hating to see things laying in my in-tray?) fast and my documents are always neatly placed on my desk; I am being seen as though I don't have work to do? Nonsense.

Nevertheless, I'm actually happy that the complaints in my outstanding tasks was brought up to my Director. Had some workaround to my bored down tasks as such, but hopefully she see the unfair spread of workload in the office, which I have been hinting her.

I am having goosebumps with the phrases "you get what I mean?" and "educate". I am not to blame for having a dazed or blur look, mind you!

Getaways-hiccups 

Another lesson learned when having such short-notice holiday plans. 1st thing is to check your passport's validity and if you need a Visa to that country. =[

Pooky returning with disappointment

Kermit!!

Yay!!! 2 hours of sewing and I'm done with my very first stuff toy, Kermit!! =D

Before

After!!

Just...... update.

The week begin with my new Zumba class on Monday! Yay!! Totally enjoying the dance and sweating it out makes me feel JUST so, healthy!

Sinful lunches at Ajisen for 2 consecutive days and Haagen daz treat from my Director for her promotion. Sighs, so much for the Zumba and aerobics. JUST when can I start my weight lose plan?!

Flag Day 2012, and operation was so much smoother than last year. But, getting myself stuck in the bank for the whole afternoon, only returning to the office when people are getting off the office is not something to be happy about. Working from 7.30am to 7.30pm on a Friday?! JUST where is my TGIF????

Shopping with the 2 young ladies is JUST awesome! Reminds me of the good old days when $20 shirt is considered expensive for me and how amazing the value of money changes as one's earning power grows.

Stepping into COACH and buying it for someone else is JUST so miserable for someone (me) who doesn't own a branded stuff (not to say my Tommy watch~). Aherm, can I have a branded farewell gift when it's my turn too? I want a Kate Spade or Loewe!!

Farewell Gift for Ernie

Private Emotions

"Every endless night has a dawning day; Every darkest sky has a shining ray..."

I am on the bus home now and the bus smells funny. Anyways, after working for the whole afternoon on a Good Friday, I met up with my buddy, Soon Lee at JCube, the old Jurong Entertainment Centre.

Open ice-skating place with spectators seats for viewing looks magnificent, but not with the crowd we were with today. The crowd spoiled our mood and plan dining there, so we went to IMM instead. The walk from the train station is especially long with the road block for a hospital construction. Nevertheless, we spit our sorrows at work, joked and teased each other throughout the journey.

Unlike the other friends who sympathized and stood by my behavior and sorrows at work, he provided me no emotional support, but solutions (not logical ones) to tackle these problems. I wasn't unhappy about the lack of emotional support; I was actually happy that I see some light in facing the challenges awaiting ahead for me every day.

Indulging in his Nepal and Egypt photos made me forget the unhappiness in work and I am now looking forward to my Medan trip in June! My camera has been isolated for quite some time and it's finally time to trigger my photography cells!

Shopping with him at Diaso for the first time was enjoying. Like a lady yet not a lady, we never missed any spots in the shop and finally gotten ourselves boxes for his Dental Equipment, mats for my office's discussion table and KK.

He is really a suave person. Without second thoughts, he suggested making a trip down Westmall for my 50L backpack despite the high possibility that the shops might be closed by the time we reach Westmall.

Fortunately, the shops were open and I've KIV-ed 3 backpacks now! Not really a wasted trip as I've learned a lot of information about choosing a good backpack from him! Traveler's indeed a traveler.

Thanks loads for the good night, Buddy! ♥

The Closing Week

So many happenings in just one short week.

Overtime working every day;
Felt disappointed over my PB;
Got frustrated till I cried at work;
Saw a dead pigeon while crossing the road;
Missed 30mins and slept 45mins watching a short film at SAM; etc.

Earned praises for the year-end buffet catering that I was arrowed to organise;
Enjoyed the "sayangs" from my colleagues and lao tou
Booked my trip to Medan;
Had a satisfied Mexican meal at Rendezvous Gallery, etc.

..... the ups and downs in a short week.

Addicted!!

My latest food addiction is the soya ice cream from Mr Bean!

(Ref from Google Image)

I've always been a fan of Mr Bean, from their soya milk, pancake, bubble tea to their merchandise and now their ice cream! All thanks to my Junior that I got to try this guilt-free dessert after a hearty lunch one day.

Yes! It's totally guilt-free! I can have many cones for a meal and yet feel so healthy! And it's cheap too! $1.50 for only a cone and their cone taste especially different from those cornettos ice cream's.

My gosh! Vanilla? Chocolate? Cookies and Cream? Strawberry Cheesecake? Nah~ It's Soya Ice Cream!! =D

Counting Down....!

It's FY11/12 Closing period and I have been working overtime in office and at home for the past few weeks! It's quite enjoyable working overtime especially when you know you are not alone.

It's the annual PB letter from HR again and this has caused many unhappiness to some of the colleagues. The basis and scale that HR uses seems pretty unfair. Reasons like "because you were promoted last year, therefore you have low PB this year" were told and most of the staff were not convinced.

I was disappointed with my Director not because of the PB and the grade, but because of the way she handle problems (me). "Never make empty promises" and "jump into conclusion" are the words I would like to convey to her after the incident.

Never mind the unhappiness.

Had an interesting encounter with a security guard of Tanglin Mall yesterday and I am seriously flattered! I was mistaken as a Japanese initially, then a Korean and he concluded that I must be a mixed (Japanese and Korean)! Hohoho~ And I'm even more happy when I see another kilo dropped on the weighing scale! =D

A random phone call....

Me: Hello?
Caller: Hi! This is Jason!
Me: Who is Jason?!
Caller: Erm, your friend's friend?
Me: (Thinking I could have heard 'Jaron' as 'Jason) Oooh! Wassup?
Caller: How have you been?
Me: Ok ah! Sorry lei, my Watsapp got problem, so I went out of the Group Chat.
Caller: Huh? I am Weisheng's friend lei.
Me: Who is Weisheng?! Orh!! Secondary School de ah? That Basketball de?? Eh... So do I know you??
Caller: I mean I mean Song Yong's friend!
Me: Wah Lau eh, who are you really?!?!
Caller: I am Jason, the financial planner taking over Song Yong.
Me: OIC! So how is Song Yong ah?? He MIA le ah?
Caller: Erm, he left for his own business.
Me: Whoa, so cool! Why he suddenly "dumped" me huh?
Caller: Haha! So now I am to pick you up!
Me: Too bad~ I am taken!

...... and our conversation continued.

Bye Viruses... Farewell CGL....

Yay!!! Finally I'm in the pink of health! Bye-bye the nasty viruses! ^-^

Apple and Lemon Juice (Vit C Boost) from my lovely Partner, THC~

Went for Zumba last week despite the running nose and cough, and it was quite tedious for me. Panting after a few movements and always running for sips of water cos my throat felt dry many instances. But this week was whooo-hooo! Latin dance is totally awesome! I didn't know it is that sexy and cool! Looking at the expression of the teacher and some students, they totally indulged themselves in the dance with PASSION. Smiles on their face and sexy mesmerizing eyes in their every movements. WOOSH! It's gonna be Latin dance for me again next week!

Another colleague left the department and I felt quite a lot for her leaving.

I am not very close to this colleague, but she is really nice, helpful, welcoming and sociable to new comers. She was one of the seniors who shared with me her experience in doing Bank Reconciliations and she dropped by my room many times to check on my status, and each time she shared with me manuals and information that may help.

Not to comment much about what I heard about her from colleagues, to me, she meant no harm. Though at times, I will experience her bluntness, and sarcasms, she is not a bad person after all. She feels for the needy and can be righteous too.

Her resignation was on an impulse and for this impulse action, she was left with no turning back.

I don't understand why a cunning person rejoices on her last day, going around the office making the statement "雨过天晴了！". Is it because the threat is gone?

Sighs...

Tired.

Could it be because of the ....

long day on Saturday,
approx 5 hours of sleep every day,
90mins of Zumba on Sunday,
45mins of jogging on Tuesday,
whole day of meeting,
and 60mins of Steps Aerobics..

that I am real exhausted?

FYE closing is coming real soon, and I am starting to feel the tension.

MONEY TIME!!!

 So many outstanding to clean up, and I am arrowed to organise a Year End Closing tea on the 30th March 2012. I love to source for all these "sai-kang" but not when I am down with stuff. Especially so when this is only my 2nd time involvement in financial closing.

This is ultimate sian-ness.

BD called and told me a real terrible news.

He was told that he failed his bridging project! A project that I helped in editing~ I am feeling SOOOOO guilty...... Yet he trust me to help him in another project in one of his modules this Sem. HOW?! DIE!!!!

From my Partner, THC~ ♥

It's Saturday!!

What a fulfilling Saturday was yesterday!

No waking up in the afternoon and slog myself over the outstanding tasks I brought home over the weekend!!

I woke up in the morning, had my breakfast (couldn't remember the last time I had breakfast on a Saturday~) and went straight to shed some fats with dear Jan. Strolling down Tanglin Court on an early Saturday afternoon is a total enjoyment. Like a tourists, with my MP3 on, The mannequins were waving at me with their beautiful outfit.

Reached home and started on-ing my laptop. Yes, it's working time! But I'm not going to slog for the whole afternoon this time. I realised, you have to manage your time in order to enjoy a work-life balance. After a few hours, it's about time I get myself ready for the next itinerary of the day - meeting the "it's-a-complicated" folks!

Dinner at a Hong Kong Cafe, we had laughter with Lion's time-to-be-a-nasty-customer. KTV was up next! And woosh!! I found another marvelous friend with awesome vocal! LUO ZHI BANG is in the house!!! Like Ah Mel, both of them are a real talent in music! I am so proud to know friends who have these fortes. ^^ Also, kudos to Lion who gave his "first" time to us~ Well done bro, Edison's song suits you best!

The night is coming to an end for Jan =( But it's still young for the rest of us! Together with the guys, we went Rochor for Tau Huay~ Eating along the alley is kind of spooky especially so when we saw soybean water placed in a line like it's serving someIT. Just went I thought the night is ending with a filling stomach, we chanced upon an expired game voucher in Lion's wallet.

Trying his luck, we went to Playnation at Scape and attempted to use the expired voucher (Lion tampered with the card by amending the expiry date~). Lady luck was not with him, the cashier were smart enough to reject the tampered voucher. Nevertheless, we went ahead with 1.5hours of wii game, till we were chased out of the shop.

I can only say, I sux at jumping and bumping!!!!! Many times it was Ah Bang who helped attack against Lion and Sebas. I better stay at one corner than ruined the scores~ =x The games were SOOOO fun!!!!! Who say stupid games are only for females? The guys were shouting and screaming equally gu niang-ish like a lady! Hohoho~

Time check: 03:40am Sunday

I had a wonderful and fulfilling Saturday!!!!!! =D

The Dragon Year

I'm enjoying the New Year this year, so many programmes that time passes extremely quickly these 2 weeks.

Children over the 1st 2 days of the New Year!!

Lo Hei with a bunch of colleagues

One of the Lo Hei lines that I can never forget from Brother Roland is "吃饱回家！" with his potato accent of course. Roaring laughter the moment he shouted this.

Steamboat with Uni Girls

Dear Jan brought her self-made photo albums and my gosh! The photos were lovely! Looking at the albums, memories from that day came flowing back. It was a tiring but HAPPY day! I've never enjoyed myself as a bridesmaid so much before. =)

A visit back School!

All thanks to the temp mei mei that I suddenly have the urge to go back JSS. It's been 10 long years since my last visit to receive an outstanding award after my 'O' Level with the class 5B.

When we saw Julianah Ng scold some of the kids in the Cookery Room.. ahhhh~ those were the days~ Looking at the pairs of lower secondary kids reminds me of the partnering with Ah Pang, Aaluoos, Pei Yong and Me when we were these young. Haha! The image is exactly the same!

Letters from HR

Last year, I received 2 letters from HR.

One is on the amount of variable bonus I'm entitled to, the other is on the merit increment recommended from both my Director and Deputy Director.

This year, I received another letter from HR.

And it's on the change of title from "Administrative Officer" to "Finance Officer". *lame* What's the big deal in the change of title when the things that both title does are the same? Changing the title doesn't make any difference in the reality. It'll only further portray the stereotype in humans' mentality and widens the gap in "status discrimination".

Whatever~

我不喜欢。。

被人盯，的感觉。
