First post of the year

After so long, I manage to squirm through all the mess to get to my dust filled blog! What a long pause it was.

So... I was pretty much busy and lazy, the latter holding more weight.

I am craving for loads of MJ recently so Andy and I were playing 2 player MJ this afternoon!! So despo hahahah.

Then I got quite emo not because I lost $23 but due to some unexpected sms.

And then I cried cos I think life is unfair.

And then we wanted to eat kway chap but the store wasnt open.

And then I had laksa with KWAY TEOW and TAU GEI (~!@#$%^&*)

And so I just have to look forward for a better week ahead.

Isnt that positive thinking...

I wished I am stronger.

hello stranger!

Haven't been blogging for a long time! Because time has not been on my side, this place is left to be alone.

Just a short update because the photo uploaded is NOT working. Been 3 months since I started on the job and I should say things have been going well, only that I gotta work late, and sometimes I feel incompetent. Have lots to learn, really. Another good (or shall I say I've fallen into the trap) news is that they terminated my contract, and offered me a permanent post. Well, NOTHING changed. Maybe only the bonuses part. But oh well, negligible la really. Been hearing lots of news of collegues preparing to tender tender tender. Is it really that bad? I know it's not the best I've seen but I hope I can last long enough, or rather to survive long enough.
Other than work, the most exciting part of Nov is the AUSSIE TRIP and of cos meeting my beloved boy after 10000years!! First, aust has been so much fun and I really hate to leave the place. Everything was so wonderful. Love the weather (sans the mosquitoes), the low humidity, the food, the scenes, the ocean, the roadtrip, the gummy bears and teddy bears, and most importantly the culture! So laid back and relaxing. The slowed down pace is something we'll never ever find in Singapore. Which is good and bad in some ways. But for a Holiday, it's definitely something awesome.
Aust is really not a place for shopping. Got some cheap bargains thou, like tops at Supre for $5!? Super coolness! I love their cotton on body too and I can't help wanting to buy just something whenever I pass by.
It was 9 days well spent with Andy darl, immersed in breathtaking moments together, navigating in the trusty Ford along the Great Ocean Road, entertaining each other with the senseless and absurd 'small talks', and of cos having no one but just each other's company. Thank you for the effort in planning the intinerary that's so enjoyable and exciting!
So, I got a well deserved break (in less than 3 months into my job) that is supposed to energise me to a higher level. BUT, first week back into work was ultra tiresome and I was pretty much still in holiday mood. This week is better as I've sort of gotten back into my tracks. BUT, work is pilling yet again. :(
Can't wait for andy to be back again on the 11 Dec which is really soon! Just 2 more weekends. So dear friends please try to date me before you say I MIA hahahah. But no la I will try not to be MIA I promise! So you can still date me after 11 Dec. :))) I absolutely LOVE december because it's the month of fun, joy, love, and partayeessss! Can't wait for the Christmas getogether session with the DHG! Havent been meeting up since I dunno when? But I've got a Wedding dinner to attend on that day so will only be able to join in late :( As according to past records I assume the party goes on till late. So yeah. Haha.
Oh yeah. LOADS of office politics going on currently and I seem to be the target of enlightenment?? Diff pple keep telling me diff things and all I can do is listen, listen, listen. Comment? That shall be reserved for just one maybe. Hahah. Okay craps I better go sleep already.
Shall blog more about Aust another day. I wanna remember details of the trip so I must blog it down.
Till the next post.

Bumble bee

Oh yes I've been busy like a bumble bee :( Left office quite early yesterday. But left really late today la! Reached home at abt 10plus. Yawnsssss. A really hectic week ahead. Or rather, a very hectic 3 days ahead. Tired man. If only I can leave at 5.45 everyday.

Met Ess for lunch today and we had really delicious soup at the Golden Shoe food centre!! I'm gonna rave about the soup cos it's really nice!! We had lotus root soup and water cress soup. Yummmmmilicious can =DDD plus the best thing is it's healthy hahah. Wanna go there again!

6 Nov is gonna arrive really really soon :) And when I look at my work calender, 6 Nov is really really really too soon :( My feelings are mixed.

I feel broke. Waiting desperately for payday. Anw, am thinking of setting up a savings account with SCB. I wanna set aside a portion of money every month diligently. Shall visit the bank when I have time. Or... you who is reading this and from SCB can give me a call to share with me the details? Haha. I'm a lazy worm.

Alrights shall go bathe now. Super sleepy. Nights world. Nights baby :D

It's a secret

Seriously, I can't wait for Halloween to be here!!
Have sort of prepared my 'costume' and it's almost there I would say :)
Head to toe!!
And I'm so happy I've the green light *winks!*

Anw, schedule for the next one month of so will be like packed sardines.
Okay maybe not so packed la.

1) Cruise this weekend!!
2) Fri night out with my colleagues!!
3) Sunset grill next sat!!
4) Shopping/ktv after pay day!!
4) Halloween!!
5) Yes Andy Aussie trip finally!!!!

Okay it seems like I'm excited about everything.

Work week will surely pass really really quickly which somehow makes working more bearable.
Not that it's really boring in the first place anw haha.

Anw I've been quite stress at work actually becos everything is so fast paced!!
This UOB person called me on SAT regarding work la complaining about Bishan.
I've learnt my lesson and switched off my corporate phone after I've settled the prob.
Not gonna turn it on during the weekends/PH anymore man!
I need a break.

So anyhows,
Friday was my cursed day.
Why?

1) Forgot to bring my HP and I had to make a trip back to get it. (I was at the guard house but becos of the u-turn I missed my bus! Making things worse, it was 8am when I left home. Note - work starts at 815 officially.)

2) Becos my staff pass cum ez-link card was in negative value, I couldnt pass the gantry at Tanah Merah station. So, I went to the control station wanting to top up. Guess what, they said they cant top up my card cos it's not the new cepas. I was so angry at that point in time cos it was HR's fault for not issuing me my new cepas staff pass. Lucky I was able to top up my card at City Hall station. But anyhow, it was time wasted again.

3) It's the time of the month, and being late for a month, they came in excess. Thus the utmost dreaded came. Good thing was I managed to clean things up after lunch.

4) Met client at TPGX but it was a wasted trip cos he wasn't very interested. I was very interest in what he's gonna sell thou - Macarons!

A series of really uncalled for situations all in the span of 4 hours =/
Lucky there were no more bad lucks after lunch with Cheryl.
Hahah.

Then.. in the evening, it was charity night.
Yeah.. went Orchard to sell flags.
Shall not complain about all the donation /charity work expected of me.
But anws, managed to fill about 2/3 of the tin :)
Feel a sense of accomplishment.
But, was super hungry la!
And tiring man.
Saw my good old neighbour and she thought I was still in Uni hahah.

Met Qian for dinner at Tam for Mos burger.
So weird la..
During lunch I was the only one eating cos Cheryl was hungry
Then during dinner I was ALSO the only one eating cos Qian had dinner at home.

Sat was SHOPPING DAY!
Met Cheryla, Moomoo and Ess for shoppinggggg
Was supposed to be shopping for halloween stuffs la but you know girls just love shopping for everything hahah.

BUT

I managed to get what I need!
I'm only missing out on 2 items.

Didnt want to waste money on cab but still cabbed home in the end. Hahah.

Okayyy am so bored today. Supposed to play mj la!! Why is it so difficult to find the 4th player?

Alrights shall go nua abit then prepare for bed.
Think of what to wear tmr.
I'm still bored.

Okay Monday blues here I come.

Starlight, star bright

Somehow the pause in blogging has somewhat impeded my ability to write and think - I was stuck while writing emails today and cracked my head on the vocabularies to use. I think I miss cracking my brain juices writing and smoking essays. hahah.

Okays anyway.. work is getting me so stressed up. BUT, work is not everything. I gotta persuade the workaholic me to stop thinking about work at night or during the weekends. There was this email I read last week that reports a man who worked to his death. The sad thing was his death was revealed and found out only a week later! Actually I've heard of this story years ago, but could only fully apprehend the meaning like NOW. Hahah. Moral of the story: Don't work too hard no one will know! Ok I'm just so bored.

Sat was a fun day! Love spending time with the princesses, and the guys haha. Had Coca for dinner. Well..thou the price is slightly steeper, the quality of the food was quite good. And the sauce was not bad :) Observing the way my friends play the games in itouch/iphone was so hilarious! Especially the way Ess plays cooking mama. Hahah! After the dinner was chillaxing at Winebar. Played the 'I have never' game and it made me laugh till my stomach hurts!

Sun was family day and we had family dinner at Spring Court in Chinatown. It has been a long time since I've been there. Used to be a regular patron before it relocated to Chinatown. Anw, as usual, the family indulges in karaoke! People singing the usual songs, and everyone got super high. Even my great grand mother sang some teochew song! I totally love family gatherings :)

Anw..was feeling quite upset over the weekends and this long awaited long weekend. But I'm glad things are better now. I hope things will only get better and not the other way round. On a positive note, I'm really happy that I have such good friends :)

Got my tix to aussie! Excitedddd :DD I love a spontaneous trip so I'm not gg to plan. Or rather it's cos I'm quite lazy to do so haha. Oh well, November will come soon. And we'll be able to meet each other soon!! :P Can hardly wait!

wake me up when september ends

cos im tired!! feel so sleepy at work the whole afternoon. lucky i ate noodles and not rice for lunch, if not i think i'll just doze off mann. goshh im so weak! growing old man. didnt have such a problem when i was younger.

oh yeah had lunch at smu today and the food rocks! had tomyam fish soup with ee mian and it is really good! the thai crusine looks sumptuous too but i didnt want to eat rice. actually everything there looks good cos of the very vibrant setup. shall lunch there more often!

work is getting more hectic as appointments just keep coming in. feels good cos at least im occupied every single minute. but bad cos i dont get the free time to organise my stuffs. tmr's my senior's last day man hope i'll be able to cope after she leaves! if not i foresee i'll be buried by emails.

result's out and im really really happy i got what i want. and everyone else got what they want too! :) our hard work and effort has paid off! but.... i wasnt as excited as i thought i would be. maybe it's becos i've gotten a job and no matter what i get it doesnt really affect my pay. haha.

elithia's bday surprise on sunday that didnt turn out to be a surprise! hahah. but it was a nice feeling hanging out with them again since our last gathering. more potlucks/parties! the choco cake was damnnn good man. and 'taken' is so thrilling! too bad i didnt get to watch till the end. shall go watch it when im free!!

cheryl and calvin's bday chalet yesterday..which got me damn sleepy today! hahaahh but it was worth it cos i love hanging out with my darlings! and what a remarkable cake she has. really live up to her reputation. haha! eat bridge, drink bridge, live bridge, die bridge! BRIDGE IS OUR LIFE. hahah. can't believe we're still at it ever since J1. i doubt the culture will ever change anyway. haha. and moomoo's back! i think i kinda screamed a little when i saw her. cos moo looks different! in a sexier way of cos. haahah and prettier! the fusing into japan sort of gave her the jap girl look. i love! <3 i think cupid's gonna strike her soon.

9 more days to andy's departure for aussieland..sad :( he's gg there for 3 months! thou i know time will pass really quickly. still..can't help feeling emo. however, i will go aussie in oct or nov! perhaps early nov. but first things first i needa be able to log into my hr eportal to take leave! the IT dept is soo slow. gonna be my grad trip! hahah. a belated one.

was at smu for lunch today, and there was this roving campaign, and they were giving out goodie bags! got one, and was furbished with lots of vouchers! tony roma's, mof, acuvue, and more! great deals. hahah.

i feel like eating ice cream! havent had ice cream for a long time.

alrightss tmr will be a short day. so looking forward to the lovely weekends.
