Fighting for our Rights but Disappointed....

Today I was made to represent the team (only me + RH in the team!) to fight for our rights coz I sat directly opposite him during lunch. Stupid RH! It's in fact she who feels so strongly about the arrangement while I'm pretty neutral about it. Yet she sat so far away from us & we ended up communicating to each other using sms! Haha...
Hmm...really think that I'm very easily pushed over, yah, & bad at saying 'No' to others. Got to admit that it's my weakness, so I'm so easily bullied hor. Sigh... :( Anyway, she feels that the arrangment was very unfair to us (actually there's so many things that's unfair now, especially to me!) & feels a strong need for us to voice out. But it wasn't easy for me to bring the group into that topic you know? Coz there's this "powerful" person sitting besides me who kept the "important" person opposite me occupied with other topics. What's more is that another "critical" person was sitting besides the "important" person opposite me. Ahaha...sounds complicated, rite? Ooopz! Take some time to digest! =)

Anyway, eventually, I managed to link up the topics & therefore brought up the matter to be discussed. Wahaha... think my talking skills improving liao! Heez.. However, sadly, the "important" person simply brushed me aside. Really disappointed & sad, coz he used to dote on us alot. Sigh... =( In other words, talking to him doesn't solve our problem either, yet we pinned so much hope. Haiz...

Actually, I wasn't feeling too strongly about the issue before today's lunch. But after the lunch, I really feel the unfairness & start to think about my future here. Well, this has also led me to come up with a decision on some matter which I've been hesitating about. So I would say that today was a disappointing day yet it gave me a clear direction of where I'll be heading. Hmm...hope I won't slack so much & start working towards that goal. Haha...

Another week of DEADlines...

Weekend's over & now I'm back to fight the solo war. So many deadlines to meet, another week of mission impossible! Haha... Well, hope that I can make miracles happen.

Had a well-spent weekend meeting up with quite a couple of friends. Had a really good chat with pig on sat over lunch. Started some character analysis stuff & we realised that we are so alike! Haha...yah, we feel that we are very rational ppl, where our brain rules rather than our heart. But most gals behave the other way round, where they are led by their heart. Hmm...so are we really man in a woman's body? AHaha.... But then, I also feel that sometimes I'm abit over-rational leh, & I think it's not very good, lacks flexibility when it comes to handling certain issues. Yah, should learn to "listen to my heart" more often. Haha...

But to my 2 dear friends, for ur problems, I dunno if my judgement is right. I hope that your judgements are right & mine's wrong. The final decision is still yours. =) Anyway, as your good friend, the most I can do is to offer you my advices, and definitely any other forms of support you need. Don't worry, no matter what happen I'll not walk out of you, ok? I'll definitely be around to support you, no matter what your decision is as I believe that you know what you are doing. =p

SIANZzzz...

Blogging @ office hour again. Well yah, I admit that I'm SKIVING!!! Ahaha... no lah, this is called fully utilise the time I have, coz I'm waiting for my reaction to be completed & I feel really SIAN now. OopZ! Thought I've just recharged myself, how come my battery is going flat again? I thought I'm an energizer battery? Haa haa... Gone case lah, this battery lifespan is depleting already... =(

Why so sian again? Coz my solo war starting next week, and the management is pushing pretty hard. Sigh...you don't give me manpower how can you expect me to achieve your goal by the deadline which they keep postphoning? I'm no octopus, don't have 8 legs leh. You might as well take my life bah... Haha.. Just felt that they are over-ambitious, to the extent that it's really unrealistic. But what can I do? Anyway, I've said, I'll do my best. Now on top of this project I still got a secondary task to do. Sigh... Anyway, now my attitude is, when it's time to work, I'll do my best & when it's time to knock off, I'll just go off. Ahaha... So bad of me =p

Now I just don't feel like doing anything, only wanna wait for lunch time... Heez

My Personality?

Tiring day, more & more problems start to surface for my project. Oh well, I should take them as challenges rather than problems, rite? Haha.. Tough war, but I guess it's be over soon. *Cross fingers*

Anyway, did an interesting personality test, with courtesy of LLT. Haha... There's also tonnes of other interesting tests available @ the website http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Thank You

Thanks alot! Felt alot better after telling you about it. But I've been feeling really guilty for not telling you much earlier. Thanks for not blaming me. Really appreciate it. Cheers to our friendship! =)

A simple, lazy Sunday...

It's a simply, lazy Sunday & I'm just out of my dreamland. Haha...seldom get the luxury to laze-all-I-want on a weekend! So tired today coz I only managed to sleep for some 2.5hrs last nite. All thanks to my sis, woke me up so early just to ask for the code to lock her luggage @ an hr where my brain "malfunctions"! =S Anyway, bon voyage to Lao Da & enjoy your trip to HK! =)

Anyway, got up early this morning to visit WL & her baby at hospital. CONGRATS to her & family! Yup, WL gave birth yesterday morning to a cute little gal, weighing 3.37kg. Haha... the parents are still deciding on the name now. Such a lovely gal! Hope WL & the baby girl stay strong & healthy :p

Ok, back-track to yesterday.
Quite packed with activities, infact, I managed to meet up with 3 friends separately on a single day. Haha... Started off my morning with a swim (yah, I need to build up my water confidence! =p). Think I might end up getting crippled in years to come. Dunno if it's coz I've strained my left thigh muscle or it's some old injury, after Fri nite's Cali session + swimming, my left leg started aching again. Well, the pain is kinda of on & off, & I can't exert too much pressure on my left leg. Luckily it hurts no more today. Haha...

Anyway, met up with Rain to watch 'Little Man'. Nearly missed the show coz there's a miscomm between Rain & I. But well, it was a very lame show as they kept repeating the same jokes. Anyway, nice to meet up with Rain. Gal, you beta dun drink so much leh, so bad for ur health. Just take things easy, ok? =)

Evening was a bellyblitz session with Qing at Amore. Haha...it was FUN! Yah, gotta shake d butt quite a bit, a very interesting class which both of us enjoyed very much. In the end still kana made to take a pic for MyPaper. OMG... Yah, if you are lucky to grab a copy of this free paper during the morning rush hr, check out next wk's issues, dunno which day thou. Haha..

Haha...still quite alive after all the activities yesterday, so decided to go ahead to catch midnite show. Wahaha...yah, watched 'The Host', it was rather funny than scary. A million times beta than 'Little Man', really worth a watch!

Ai yah, weekend's coming to an end again, ready for tmr's challenges? Hmm...

Beyond Words....

Thanks LLT for jioing me to the 'Forbidden City'! A really nice musical, with such close up view of Kit Chan. All I could say is that her singing was SUPERB!! =) Of course, the other cass were fantastic too, a very entertaining nite! Hmm...It has been quite a couple of years since I last watch a musical, still remember the last musical I watched was "lei yu" by Sharon Aw.

Well, today was another busy day @ work, and I've been informed that I'll still continue with my present project all by myself after the 21st this month. Hmm...to be happy or sad? I dunno leh.. Happy coz being able to work on the project alone means that bossy has a good level of confidence in me and it's also a chance for me to prove my worth. Sad coz I have already been working on this proj for 2 years already!!! Really wanna move on & work on new project. Haiz... anyway, no matter what, life has to go on, so will definitely stay optimistic! =)

Haha...WL's baby is about to due soon. She's so excited, so is Glad & I. Heez..
*Hmm...y r we excited too?!*

Guess what? Today WL let us feel her big tummy. Yup, with the little baby gal in her tummy, the feeling was really...umm...hard to describe! It simply feels like a balloon as I stroke it, and yah, a BIG BALLOON!! Hhaa...I could sense the joy & excitement in WL. A happy mother!!! I'm happy for her too, wish this pretty mummy-to-be and the cute-and-pretty baby good health! =p

Glad & I started talking about child-bearing. Haha...but both of us still can't imagine that one fine day we get married & have kids. Haha...at least to me it still seems quite far away. Haha....Hmm...lotz of funny thoughts going on now Wahaha...

Anyway, tmr's FRIDAY!!!! Haha...Happy weekend to all! =)

Tioman EXPEDITION!

I'm back from my Tioman trip! It was really fun and definitely exciting!!! A very different experince compared to my past overseas trips. Feeling so much more charged up now & hopefully I'm ever-ready to face the upcoming challenges. Haha~~

Well, we did 4 snorkels and a dive during our 4D3N "expedition"! Hmm...in fact, we only paid for 2 snorkel trips, while the other 2 snorkels were bonus trips with courtesy of this nicey Mr A. Haha... A "YAN YU"? Hmm... No idea, but we did exchange contacts. Mr A really took extra care of us during the snorkels and even picked seashells for us! Haha...Anyway, all thanks to him for making our stay in Tioman an enjoyable one. =)

Did a discovery scuba dive too. It was fun, a little scary though, coz unlike snorkelling, now we are going into the water rather than mere floating on water, and there's so many things to take note of. Furthermore, it was more like a crash course, only did the drill for once in the pool and out we went into the open sea. The equipment was really heavy too and I couldn't really walk with it on my back. Too bad, no time to take pics of us in the full dive equipment..Sigh..What a waste! Anyway, the great memory will forever stay with me. Haha...In the open sea, we were so scared that our oxygen supply would fall to zero. Haha.. Yup, Pig and I were holding on tightly to my divemaster's hands as our buoyancy control was lousy. The moment he let go of my hand, I could feel myself sinking! Ahaha... But it was really fun, and to think that we go down to 6.6m deep! So exciting!!! Hmm...think I should save up for diving course next year, but I need a buddy leh. Pig, will you please learn swimming soon and don't be so BLUR? Made me your NANNY throughout the trip hor.. =(

Haha...really a wonderful experince to be out in the sea, and coming so close to the marine life! Saw lots of interesting sea creatures!!! Cushion starfish, a 7-legged starfish, nemo, butterfly fish, angelfish, eels, sea cucumber, jellyfish, sea anemone, corals, sea urchins & a BLACK TIP SHARK! Oh My God!!! A really rewarding trip! It's a pity that we didn't have an underwater camera, to proof to show you guys..Haha...

So much fun & joy. A really memorable trip! Till now I can still feel myself like floating in the sea! Ahaha...

Hmmm...I'm gonna find a nice bottle to keep my seashells and of course, I'll hope to start my collection of sand and seashells from different beaches from now on. Heez~~ I'M NOW FULLY RECHARGED, ARE YOU?

Ok, ready for the next go! Planning for a Phuket trip next year, hopefully!Haha ~~ Anyone interested just register yourself with me, k? Heez~~

Ok, take care folks! ^0^

At last I got my Trip Tix =)

Yeah, finally I got my Tioman trip tix! Well, in fact, I've gone through lots of trouble before I secure these tix, hope the trip turned out well.

I was really irritated by this travel agent. Really dunno why I've been so down on luck lately. Did I step on some dog poo or whatever? Sigh... I'm never been a superstitious person, but the series of encounter with weirdos are really scaring me leh. What happened to my life?

Ok, back to this travel agent, I hope that today is the 3rd and last time that I'm seeing him.
A weird/scary fellow... -_-"
It all started on Monday, when he called me up to inform me that my trip tix are ready for collection. But when I went over to the travel agency on Monday evening, he claimed that the tix have yet been delivered to them. ARGGhhhhHHH... Didn't he tell me that very afternoon that my tix are ready to be picked up? Ok, nvm about that yet. The way he talked to me made me feel that it's more that pure good customer service. He actually remembered me (always address me as "Miss Cia") and could even comment that I've gotten tanner. Hello, that was only the 2nd time we met, the 1st time was some 3 wks ago when I went down to book my trip. Ok, that's fine, probably he's just trying to find topic and chat with his customer. Seeing that I've made a wasted trip down to Golden Mile, he felt apologetic and promised to deliver my tix to my place. Yah lor, I stay in AMK while he in Aljunied, yet he said it's ON THE WAY. OMG, I think even a 'non-geography' person would be able to read the MRT route and tell me that it's so NOT ON THE WAY, rite? Who knows, maybe he owns his own MRT train which can bypass all other stops, Aljunied ----> AMK. Wah seh! His private express train leh... Haa haa...

I really can't stand having things unsettled & hanging in midair! I called him up again yest to check on the status of my tix, and again, same answer, tix haven arrived. WAD?! Sigh...RH actually volunteered to go down & collect on my behalf after hearing my story. So I asked the agent to confirm whether I can collect the tix yest as my frd will be going down to pick it up for me. Guess what he said? "Why do you have to ask your friend to collect for you?" ArghhHH...IT'S REALLY NONE OF HIS BUSINESS! Must it be me going down personally to collect the tix? Then he said," Come down to collect and see me as well." He deserved a *BISH*! My goosepimples creeped up lor.. Sickening... There he promised to deliver the tix to AMK MRT for me today. At this point, I really think I need an ESCORT!

Haha...lucky/unlucky you, LLT. U have been selected for the task! HAHA...Ok lah, having to go through all those trouble tonite + waiting for me for an hr (partly my fault & Dou Sa Bia frd's fault, but mainly the train's fault =p), I know just that plate of fish & chip is not sufficient to thank you. Next time buy you Tip Top Curry Puff, k? Haha... But then you always made me wanna kill you, coz you always laugh at my "exciting" encounters -_-"

To Dao Sa Bia frd, thanks for ur dao sa bia. Oh yah, so from now on, the code I have for you is Dao Sa Bia frd or DSBF, a cool code, rite? Wahaha... Seems like our new favourite activity besides gossiping is EXCHANGING dao sa bia! Ahaha... Take care & enjoy your chalet! =p

Time to pack my luggage for my trip, lazy to do it though. Haha....getting my sun, sea and sand soon! I hope I won't be so suay again, hope I wont meet the agent at Tioman leh, I'm so scared now... Think I should bring a set of fork & knife for safety reason. Haha...Hope i wont have any probs crossing the custom again... WISH ME LOTZ OF LUCK!!! =)

Encounters with Weirdos?

I just can't believe my luck! I've been pretty "heng" these few days. Came across a couple of weird & siao people leh. Really don't understand, where did all my luck go to this year? Just these few days, I had some 5 encounters with weird people. OH MY GOD!!!

It all started on last Thursday when I was on my way to Expo to meet Rain for Comex fair. There's this 30+ chinese guy who boarded the train at Tanah Merah station. The moment he boarded the train, he began talking and then screaming to himself which is kinda scary. And he was standing so near to me.. Luckily I alighted a stop later.. Haha..

Sat we met this weird auntie on the bus. Actually i have already notice that she kept turning back to look at us during the journey, thought she knew me or something but I wasn't too bothered either. In the end, she started scolding us before she alighted! I can still remember her saying,"Next time don't talk so loudly, the person infront of you might not want to listen to your conversation!" I was pretty stunned by her reaction, coz we were not shouting or screaming on the bus, it was just my normal talking volume (maybe my friend talked too loudly! Haha)Pretty amusing...if we have disturbed her, she could have approached us at a much earlier time,. why only do it just before she alighted? I think she's too lonely, need someone to chat with her bah..

Sun & Sun meet 2 other siao pp doing funny things on the train. Haha...seriously, I think it's too much of a coincidence to meet so many weird people in <1 week!

Now I hope the weird/cheeky travel agent will really give me my trip tix tmr, I need my hols!!!
