Interesting Morning of wet-marketing ;-)

Today I got up super duper early (6+am, around the same time as my working days but today is Saturday!!!), thou I only slept at 2am yesterday. Why??? Today I'll be hosting a steamboat dinner at my place, having it with Yu & Qing & of course my family!!! Yoz...So excited!! But gotta do some wet-marketing to get all the food ready for tonite! ;-)

Wow, the market was already pretty packed with people (kiasu aunties!!!) at 7+am. Being young and a shortie among the crowd was pretty disadvantageous to me. Coz I'm not as experienced as the KS aunties to fight for attention from the sellers. All I can do was to wait patiently and queue for my turn to get everything packed. *I'm such a "law-abiding" young singaporean!!* LOL

Thank goodness. The veg seller auntie has longed recognised me, coz she knows my mama. Always call me "xiao mei", haha....feel so young manz... Haha...So i do get some priority in getting my things packed (and also not to get cheated by them!!). ~Smilez~~

I then went over to the butcher to get the pork rib for making the steamboat soup base. Aiyoz, so many people crowded round the pretty butcher auntie, so I thought she's showing some stunts or what. Poor butcher auntie, she was surrounded by some "desperate housewives"! Oh, thse housewives are not like those in the reality show 'Desperate Housewives', crazy & yearning for new love. Rather, those that I've seen were desperate to buy the "prettiest" piece of pork! Scary manz, I saw not just 1, but 3 of them entering the butcher auntie's chopping area, and watching her every chop & cut. That's so stressful for the butcher auntie. *If I were the butcher auntie, I'll wave my chopper at those desperados!! Haha* I'm a violent gal!!!

I think those aunties are nuts. Looked like they were afraid that the butcher will cheat them of their pork or what. I think these aunties dunno Sg rules. Didn't queue somemore. Luckily the butcher auntie was very fair. She ignored the cut-queue auntie and came over to serve me. Wahaha... Haiz...acutally i hate pork le, I don't really eat pork coz I think it has a weird smell and I find pig (real ones) quite disgusting. Haha...but no choice, my mama said that using pork ribs to make soup is better. So I follow... ;-)

I also bought quite alot of yong tau foo ingredients, but I'm still afraid that those are not enough for my pals. But only 2 of them coming... Haha.. So I'm a kiasu person too. Hope I won't turn into a "desperate housewife" like those I've seen.. ;-p

Bought half a watermelon for after-dinner. All by myself and it's so heavy!!! But ok, still managed to carry all home. Hehe...

At last got to talk to my sis. Maybe it's the breakfast which I've bought. Hehe~~ *Happy* But still unhappy about what she said to mama... So hurting... ;-(

It's pouring heavily now, and that Fish still not here yet!!! aRGhhh....Super ultra late QUEEN!!!! I'm almost done with all the preparatory work & she's still not here... ;'(

Ok, beta go & bathe before she arrives. Happy New Year and have fun people!!! ;-)

Can't Get to Sleep... La la la... ;-(

I can't get to sleep now!! I've offended a friend!! Sob, sob. Not that I didn't know that she can take no jokes, all I have to blame is my stupidity and bluntness. But it's also today that I truly know and undertand her tolerence for jokes - NO JOKES FOR HER. I shall zip up my mouth from now on. ;'(

It's really meant to be a joke, and I really wasn't trying to be disrespectful, not even laughing at her or anything (I dun see the link between saying her more 'hei xin' than me as laughing at her. Well, unless her heart is really 'hei'. Sorry, but I know it's not).

Sigh, life is so tough, pleasing people is even tougher... HELP, HELP!!!

JC 1st 3 Mths' mates' Get Together

Lazy day...wanna get up early for a swim before heading to bank to settle some stupid stuff & put the metal bands around my molars, but just slept & slept... SUPER ULTRA LAZY!!! Okok, tomorrow gotta make an effort to hit the pool or the running track. Too much sinful indulges recently, need workouts!!!

Felt uncomfortable with the metal bands in mouth as they kept rubbing against my tongue and cheeks when I'm talking and eating. Well, probably a good way to make me talk less and eat less. Somehow, I've became pretty talkative and crappy ever since I started working. Haha..gossipy too. OOpz...

A pretty busy and stressful week at work, where things that should not but might happen had happened. A terrible mistake but luckily not really our fault, more of a third party's fault. That's a big relief coz I've been so worried the nite before the completion of the investigation and I didn't sleep well. Scared that I'm the one causing the big blunder, but luckily it wasn't. PHEW...

Had a X'mas dinner with my colls yesterday evening. Dinner was ok, but guessing who bought whose present was fun. Lots of laughter and joy. I love the blue stone necklace I receive from WL. Wow, very nice!! Already started wearing it today. Hehe... It's alot more fun & meaningful to draw a person's name before buying the exchange present. At least the present can be more customised (so-called). Everyone seems to be in high spirit this month! That's why I like december so much. Furthermore, my birthday falls in this month too. Haha...

Today went out for dinner when zhen,sze,ade,xiao ma & lao ma. Went changing appetite again. Pretty hungry coz I didn't manage to take my lunch,so tried eating the main dish. Haiz...hard a tough time eating the food,thou I've ordered grilled dory fish which is in fact pretty soft. Took a long time to finish most of it (the waitress kept threatening to take it away from me ;-( )

Great pals! They know me well, got me what I want. Heehee~~ Love the world of sports voucher they got me. Thanks so much!! Now I can get another set of swimwears or a pair of trackshoes. Yeah~~

Didn't really shop much thou there's a late nite shopping at cityhall since everyone was tired. Well,i'm still very awake coz I took an afternoon nap. Haha... Nice catching up session cum 2 belated bdae celebrations - lao ma's & mine.

Tmr accompanying ah ma's to do her hair cum xmas shopping. Oopz...haven check out the exact location!!! Ok,beta do some checking 1st. Nitez, all...

Bdae part III

Back to work again...Monday blues, of course. Seems like a no-rest weekend and it passed so quickly! Feeling really lathargic, but still gotta work.

Expected that my colleagues were up to no good today (as usual!). OMG! They got me a photo cake with my stupid ang ku kuey (chinese dessert) face on it. Alemak!! It looks disgustingly good!!! Think it's really funny to have your own pic on your cake. What's worse is that you gotta cut your own face up, or I should describe it as self-disfiguration! Cunning colls I have. They were so happy eating my face up. haha... I think it's funny too. And definitely a memorable one. But really thankful to my colls, for always giving me such bdae surprises. Haha...

Too tired, knocking out soon..Blog again... ;-p

Tired Tired... But's it's an Enjoyable Day!

Back to my blogsphere again! Have been away from the virtual world for so long, now I'm so enthusiastic about blogging again! So I shall blog, blog & blog... til I drop. Haha.. Afterall, my B'dae celebrations have yet ended, so got lotz of things to share. Hehe

Ya, mentioned in my earlier blog that I was supposed to settle some X'mas gifts today. But, feeling too lazy and having the strong urge to laze at home, I decided to postphone my X'mas gift shopping to next weekend. Very last minute, rite?? But I was really lazy to get out of my house. Spent the entire afternoon lazing around at home, wrapping my co's xmas party exchange gift. Well, I've bought a belt, since it's for a guy, somemore he's those sort of prim and proper guy, can't really get him anything funky (well, at 1st wanted to get him sugar-coated camel nuts since he loves them, but decided not to as I dun want to carry $15-worth of peanuts to the dinner. Haha). So I think the belt is still the best, suits him well, and it's practical. Thou my coll said that it's too personal, I think it's fine. Rather than getting him some ornaments which will end up like white elephants. Excited!! This Friday's will be the xmas dinner! But the dinner is going to burn a hole in my pocket, aroung $50 for the buffet. What's even not worth the price is having a teethless gal at the buffet. LUGGI manz!!

Oh, back to my activities for the day. Eventually, I still drag myself to Orchard to meet my friend for dinner. Both of us had lasagne and luckily I was still able to chew it. Haha.. They served pretty good lasagne, really worth going again! Hmm....can't quite remember the name of the restaurant, think it's called Spageddies, which is at paragon. That's a bdae treat from my friend. Thanks so much!!

We then went on to walk along orchard road to see the xmas lightings. Hmm...didn't find it very attractive this year, but still, it was a nice walk down the streets. Wanted to go Tanglin mall area, hoping to catch some sights of the artificial snowing. Along the way, we saw some nice photo exhibition. The pics were really great! Probably coz we love the natural landscapes so much, think we ended up spending an entire hour admiring the pics. Well, the pics are like those you can see in national geog, I can't help but marvel at the fantastic work of nature. Was impressed by 1 pic which showed a naturally formed heart-shaped island. Amazing, rite?? That's the beauty of nature I guess. By the time we are done with the pics, it was already 11+pm. Time to head home manz... So tired, it's consecutive 4 days of late nites and I'm feeling weary. But still, we had a great time stroding down the road and looking at the pics. Hope I'll get a chance to travel to those exotic & scenic places soon!

Planning for a treetop walk, but will be quite busy in the next few weeks...sigh... ;-(

23 Years & 1 Day Old

I'm 23 already!! Wow, so fast, another year has passed. But glad to say, this year has been a revolutionary year for me - many happenings and changes to my life. Of course many unhappy things too, which have brought my mood & emotion on a rollar coaster ride, and I guess I'm still suffering a little from the after effects. But things have definitely been alot better that a few weeks back. Hope I'll be 101% back to my normal self soon!! ;-)

Phew! At last the 3-day long conference is over!!! Nearly died of boredom then! Some talks were really boring and my mind just wandered off (& never come back!! Haha). It's a eye-opening experience thou, having the chance to meet those fantastic chemists. I do wonder if I can be as outstanding as them... But the thought was always dampened. OMG, I only got a bachelor, how to get such acheivement like them?? Will some kind soul give me an overseas scholarship?? I yearn for that, but I doubt I'll get the chance. ;'(

Yesterday Ah Bao delivered a cake to my doorstep. Wow, I'm so touched, thou it's just a slice of cake but it's the thought that really counts, isn't it?? Nice delicious cake, dunno if i'm able to eat it anot coz I dun want the peanuts to stuck to my gums. So the cake is still lying in my fridge. Haha

Mnay people have been asking me what are my bdae wishes this year. Truthfully, I've been too busy with work & conference these few weeks, hardly have the time for a good rest, let alone thinking about my bdae wishes. Guess another typical wish I have is that my family & friends to remain healthy and happy. I think it's really important after going through and seeing many unhappy things this year. On a personal note, I shall keep my other wishes undisclosed. Wahaha...

But it seems like many of my friends and colleagues made a wish for me instead. All of them can't wait to sell me off the shelf! But why?? 23 yrs old only, I'm still young, rite??haha.. Well, know that they are concerned and I'm thankful for that. But I simply feel that r/s isn't something that one can rush into. Not to say that I'm picky or anything, but it's still not my upmost priority now. My colleagues were even commenting that I look so different at work & at social functions. Aiya, of course, working in lab need no formal or nice dresses since I gotta put on a labcoat over what I wear and I dun want to contaminate my nice clothes. So basically I prefer to dress casual, in t-shirt and jeans at work. But their comments made me think that I dress really ugly at work. OMG!! But anyway, who cares, I'm there to work & not to fashion-show and there isn't any nice guys around. Wahaha.. ;-p

Interestingly, those colls of mine even asked me to start dressing up & putting make-up to work to attract the opposite sex. OMG!! I think that sounds crude and makes me like a desperado. Anyway, I want someone who's attracted by my character not looks, that's too superficial, isn't it?? furthermore, putting on make-up to work is a no-no since I work in a chemical lab. That's too dangerous and I think it's bad for skin too. Haha

Ok, back to my celebration yesterday. Besides attending the conference and indulging in the buffet lunch then skipping the entire afternoon's talks just to nap at home, I attended MayDay's concert. It was fantastic, with the exception of the poor sitting arrangement. Well, it's a pretty flat arrangement so basically I can mainly see the heads infront of me given my height. Haha...That's the problem when you don't get the most expensive seats. But i still prefer to watch concerts at SIS, sitting arrangement is way better than yesterday's. Rock band's concert was really fun. We even stood on our seats but were later chased down by the security. Stupid Idiot!!Such flat sitting arrangement, who can see?? i should have brought a ladder there. Haha

Haven't been blogging for so long and now I feel that I got so much to blog about. But I gotta go out to fix the Xmas presents and meet my friend for dinner. Will blog again some time soon!!! ;-0

We've grown up!

Phew...managed to accomplish my assigned tasks in time (still keeping my fingers crossed on 1 last thing thou, gotta wait til tomorrow before I know the outcome, so praying hard now ;-) ). Basically I've rotted in the office for the entire day, felt more bored than happy. Rotting is worse than having a crazily busy schedule. Believe me!!!

But today is still a happy day. I'm proud of myself that I managed to get hold of the precious moments cards for my coll's ROM. Well, not easy to get them, ok? Coz due to overwhelming response, the shops no longer carry the cards, & the person even told me that I gotta wait til X'mas. Luckily I emailed the smrt person in time & she has the last set left. So she sold it to me. Wahaha...So happy!! Hope my coll will be happy to receive the gift too. ;-)

Just a while ago, I was chatting with a pal about work life. I guess no one really likes to work (or probably I'm the only nutcase who would rather work than rot??!!) In fact, I think the problem doesn't really lie with whether you are working or not. More correctly, I think the nature of your job, your colls & of course, your boss, matter alot. But I've told her that life consists of vicious cycles. At the least, you see that one gotta work hard (to earn more $$) so that he can afford to play hard (which costs $$). Just like the demand & supply curves (recall: My can't-make-it econs in JC...ahaha) So I should be thankful to have a bunch of fun,crazy colls to laugh & share woes with. ;-p

Hmm...got an urge to become a farmer when I retire... Think it's so nice to plant your own crops, harvest them & enjoy the fruit of your hard work. Thou it's yet another vicious cycle, but well, isn't life full of this sort of cycles?? Birth always follow by death, and the cycle just continues...

The world is not going to pause/stop for anyone. It's has been tasked to move on for the lives of so many people on Earth. So we shouldn't stop and keep moaning over setbacks/unhappiness. ;-)

An Ordinary Yet not too Ordinary Sunday...

An ordinary yet not too ordinary Sunday....

Today is yet another boring day... Tuition has been cancelled, no dates, nothing... Just rotted around, lazing at home.

Went downstairs to get some groceries in the afternoon and I met this little boy in a provision shop. Guess what he said?? "Auntie, excuse me..."

I'm like, huh??? What??!!! Auntie??

So I've been promoted from a jie jie to an auntie already! Ok, fine... as I gave way to this little boy, I happened to knock into him. BUT... it was UNintentional. For sure, I didn't mean to hit him, it was a pure accident (believe me). Thank goodness that he didn't cry, if not his parents will think that I'm bullying their son just because he called me an auntie. Time is running out! I'm becoming an auntie... Sob sob...But, what's the definition of auntie?? Is there an age range for one to be addressed as an auntie?? I continue to ponder....

Well, such a minor "setback" did not haunt me for the rest of my day. Glad to go for a jog in the evening, feeling real great sweating out. ;-)

However, my quite nice Sunday was disturbed by some "ge tai" near my place. Oh my god! I thought that the ghost month is over, or has the clock turned back??Having a ge tai right below my block is damn annoying. I hate it!! I regretted that I didn't cast my vote to support my dad & sis in getting a KTV set for my home. If not I'll be blasting back at the Hokkien ge tai right now!!

Happy Friday...

Ooops...have been too busy, or rather too lazy to update my blog. Feeling tired now (as usual), so will keep this entry short.

So happy that it's Friday again! A good week, since boss is not in town & my coll and I left at 5pm (instead of 5.30pm) today. Haha~~ Infact, our boss has "approved" this, since he said that we've been working hard. He's quite a nice boss afterall, except for his bad habits, but that's his health,not mine. Wahaha~~

Went for a dip in the pool after work, good workout, but still polishing up my freestyle strokes. Sigh...tough manz... but tmr gonna swim with Jac in the morning again. So happy!! ;-)

At Last! Teambuilding @ Batam is Over!!!

Yoz, I'm back from co's teambuilding at Batam! In general, I think the whole event was good, had pretty much fun. Maybe I should talk about the activities we did for the last 1.5 days on this extreme corner of Batam Island, Turi Beach Resort.

Everyone was excited as we make our way to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal from Biopolis yesterday. I was excited too, but feeling a little stressed as I was one of the committee members. Gotta organise and settle the transport thingy and unluckily, got a transport company with poor service. Sigh... Pretty frustrated with the person in-charged. ArgHH!!! Anyway, that will come later.

There was a slight drizzle on our way,but thank goodness, it's just a passing shower. Hehe~~ Everything was going fine, and we then board the ferry, called "Golden Raider", to Batam. Ermm...its name sounds great, but in actual fact, it's a small,old boat lar,not a cruise ship. Haha.. Met lots of "uncles & aunties" there. Hey, don't get mistaken, I dunno them. Heard that these people would board those casino cruise when they reach Batam. Oh manz, SINGAPOREANS!!! Think it's a disgrace... ;-(

We did a couple of adventurous activities at Batam, which include trekking, abseiling and paintball. Muddy (my shoe fell into the mud water!! Yucks!!!), dirty, sweaty, but really fun!! Like abseiling the most, though I got a few scratches, but it's really fun, though scary at 1st. My team only got 3 guys, all the quiet sort. Ya,so I've expected that we won't win the games. Yes, truly, it's as expected. Haha... But it's ok, so long as we have fun, rite?

Yesterday's BBQ dinner at the Island bar was simply great! Like the ambience alot. But then, our director joined our table, haha~~A table of gals, he's the only thorn. Not that we don't welcome him, just feeling a bit out of place, no idea what to chat about. But I really appreciate his effort in trying to forge a good relationship with the RAs. I would really say that he's a great man. Luckily we had a good reason to excuse ourselves as soon as we had finished dinner. One of my colls actually fell sick after the trekking, so Hui & I packed some food for her and delivered to her room. She had diarrhoea, then kept vomitting. Poor gal! In the end, we got to call a doctor to come in from Batam's town (about an hour's drive) who then gave her a jab. Felt really fortunate to be here, in S'pore. Everything is within reach all round 24 hrs. We even got quite abit of difficulties finding sour plum for my coll (who felt really naseous then). The best the hotel could provide me was lemon. Coz the trainer told them to find something sour. Haha...I nearly laughed my head off then, but I was glad that I didn't. Afterall, I guess they don't quite get it why chinese likes sour plum. Haha~~ Good thing that my coll's feeling better now, though still pretty weak. But she missed out on the fun today.

Today's return ferry was bad, though it was again the "Golden Raider".There were so many people trying to board the ferry. Worse than yesterday, today there's lots of aunties & uncles and I nearly got squashed (I'm short!! Sigh...). Luckily my kind coll, like a big bro, made way for me to board, of not I think I'll never get to hop onto that ferry. Haha~~But still, no seats left in the airconed area, got to sit at the non-airconed area, which was supposedly the smokers' area. WAD??!! Yesh, I nearly suffocate to death during my 30 mins ferry ride. Suffocating, screaming in silence as a passive smoker. Only one word to describe - UNBEARABLE. What worsen my mood was that that poor-service transport company called up to tell me that the bus which's supposed to pick us up at 4pm had broken down on its way. So we gotta wait til 4.30pm (AT LEAST!!!) for it to arrive. In the end, it reached at 4.45pm. The bus supposed to be catered for 40 people,in the end only 10 odd took the bus. Most people were to tired to wait for it to come,so they took a cab back instead. Haiz... Failed mission...So sad...

Ok,gotta wash my stinky, muddy shoes & yucky clothes, then time for bed. Nitez.... Sorrie...wad a long entry...Hehe~~

Another Day @ SGH

Wasn't able to do much stuff this week due the the series of lectures and meetings. Arghh...sigh..it's even more tiring to attend such stuff than working in the lab. I was dozing off for more than half of the time. ;-(

Went to SGH this afternoon to do some lung test. Haha~~ Super fast! Only took 5mins, went in early, so the whole process ended at 2pm (My appointment supposed to be @ 2pm). Stupid us! Should have gone in for the test much earlier then, there's basically no patients! We arrived at around 12.30pm, both of us were very tired, typical coffee addicts, coz we weren't supposed to take any caffeinated drink today before the test, therefore we took a nap at the outpatient clinic. Poor gals, rite?? Slept on the hard chairs, like 2 homeless gals, slept for an hour odd, til the crowd in the clinic was gone. Haha~~

though the test ended early, we decided not to head back to office, went home instead. Too tired, but happy that we can go back home for a nap. A rare chance. Guess when we start officially, life is not going to be so relaxing and easy.

Sigh,my last report to be done. Gotta finish by tonite coz won't have time to do on the weekends. Yeah!! Weekends!!!

Trip To SGH & Charlie & Coco Fac

Today was a pretty good day coz only got to work for half a day. Heehee~~ Got time-off to go for a pre-employment medical checkup at SGH in the afternoon. Sigh, the checkup was unlike the one I had last year at Raffles, it was so much more disorganised. My coll & I gotta re-queue for the different tests and it's so troublesome. In the end, the whole checkup took up a solid 2.5hrs to complete. Hmm... It appeared to be pretty stressful to work under a doctor, as from what I've observed. The executive who's supposed to take care of "VIPs" like us got reprimanded by the doc just because we came in earlier than the appointment time. Well, I don't think it's the executive's fault, probably the doc is scolding me indirectly. Isit wrong to be early for any appointment?? I thought most people would have done the same as me. I told the doc that I can go out & wait til my appointment time before seeing her, but...aiyoz, really feel sorry for the poor executive. ;-(

To think of it, it has been a good 13 years since I last stepped into SGH. 13 years ago, I was only 10 years old. Time flies....Back then, I had to make frequent trip to SGH with my parents to visit my ill grandma. I used to envision working in a hospital setting. Hmm...no idea why. Haha...but I've not really thought of becoming a doc (don't dare to dream of that), maybe just feel that it's a great place, where lives are saved, though not always successful.

Ok, back to my checkup, had 3 tubes of blood drawn & a jab. Ouch, my arm still aching after the jab. Blood withdrawal was "fun" as you see the tubes being filled up. Haha...think I sound crazy!! But the sight of blood didn't fear me. My coll was so terrified that she didn't even dare to look during the blood drawing. Haha...how is she going to be a nurse (she said she wanna switch to become a nurse!!)?? So many tests to undergo (still got to go back next week for spirometry & urine tests! Hope to get time-off again) and the results will only be out in a month's time. Frankly speaking, I do have some fear. Fearing that any results might turn out negative. Nervous!! The doc was surprised that we are handling so much lethal chemicals!! Sounds bad, I got scared by her too. Start to get more concerned with my health, and now, I'm even considering of switching line. But, my contract has been signed, guess will only switch line a few years done the road then (provided I'm still alive!).

At last! I managed to catch my Charlie & Coco Factory with my old pals (ermm...plus my friend's friend) tonite. So cool, have not watch any movie with them for donkey years!! A pity that 1 of our gang members has watched it, so no choice but to abandon her..Sorry, big bird... ;-(

On the overall, I think the show was ok, not as good as what I've expected, so not worth the $9.50. But interestingly, choco scent filled the entire theatre! Smart people! They were trying to capture the vision, hearing and smell of viewers!! Hmm...another sense that's missing - taste. Why not provide us with some chocolate bars?? Haha...

So tired after the show. Already 12+am by the time I get home. Yawn, yawn...time for bed. Sweetie dreamz...

An Unlucky Morning

Yesh! Today I'm on leave, to enjoy a long weekend. Initially, I have planned to go for a splash at the swimming pool with my friend. However, due to unforseen circumstances, we had to change our plan to playing badminton instead.

So tired after yesterday's outing that I slept til 9.45am this morning. Luckily my friend had changed the meeting time to 10am instead of 9.30am, had a good 11hrs of sleep. Hehe~~ The weather looked good at 1st - bright and sunny. A perfect day for an outdoor badminton game. But, the weather these days is sooOO UNPREDICTABLE!!! It started with a drizzle the moment we arrived at the badminton court!!! Sighz... nvm, we thought that it should just be a passing shower. Unexpectedly, the rain got heavier and heavier, then stopped for a while, and started to pour again. Faintz~~ Ok, fine, at least we had a good chat then, about relationships, about how unpredictable guys are (just like the weather??). After chatting for a good 45mins, we thought of proceeding to the CC for the game instead, but it started to pour again, much heavier than earlier on. I was like, "Eh, can't be so suai, rite?? No luck to swim, then no luck to play badminton too??!!" By then it was almost 11am, if we play the game for another 2hrs, Jac, might have to rush for her next appointment. So we proceeded to AMK central for lunch.

Actually, I was still too full for lunch, though the herbal chicken at AMK central is nice. Sorry to disappoint Jac, she can't have her herbal chicken b'coz of me. I was too full to share it with her. But sure she can finish lar, I need to go on diet. Unlike her, so envious of her! ;-(

Wah, did I offend anyone recently?? Felt cursed. On our way back after lunch, I was nearly knocked down by a Yakult van while crossing the road. Well, saw the green man light while crossing, and the van just made a turn at the bend. Hey, driver, don't you know that you gotta let the pedestrans cross 1st??? I was too shocked to react then, luckily my friend grabbed me. That was close, the van was just centimetres away from me,ok?

In the short time span of two odd hours, I can already feel the suainess! Or isit **Jac who brought me the suainess??** Ahaha~~ Have never felt as unlucky as today. Was even afraid that the crows' shit might land on my head on my way back. Guess I should stay at home for the day and give my boxercise class a skip then. Haha~~

Mood Is Up Again... ;-)

Yesh!! The long-waited-for hols is here!! Wow, a long weekend indeed, coz I've self-declared Monday as a non-work day. Well, I took leave, of course.

After an update of my lousy mood in my previous blog entry, my mood boosted and has gone back to normal since yesterday, since it's Friday & it marked the start of my long weekend. Lotz of programmes for this break, making me excited!!!

Yesterday had wonderful dinner date with an old, JC friend. Well, we bumped into each other a couple of times on the streets. But have yet met for a meal for almost 2 years. The chat was a long, but great one. Recounting the fond memories we held, updating each other about our present life and upcomings. Coolz~~ Though our dining place was not a posh, expensive restaurant but just a foodcourt (Well, nice name for the Marina's food Loft, nice open space facing the Singapore River, great view & atmophere but food SUCKS!!), the company I had was simply great on a Friday evening. So much of catching up to do, the nite was just not enough!

Today I went KTV with another group of friends to celebrate Min's b'dae. No idea,not in the singing mood today. Was basically focusing on dedicating the songs, feeding myself with the keropoks & drink. Just wanna sit back & listen to my friends' singing today. Haha~~ As well as entertaining my friends with my nonsense. ;-)

Wah...I wanna go on a trip to some beach resort / island during my 1 week of unemployment in Sept. Discussed with my pals, but some appeared paranoid & fearful, coz it's still the 7th month, which is the Hungry Ghosts' Festival. Oh my gosh! Why isit that even the younger generations are so superstitious?? I am a typical Science grad who believe in logic and proven facts. Well, I used to believe in such things too,but as I grow, I get less convinced by these superstitions. Same for religion, I've lost the faith in what I may be used to believe in when I am younger. That's why I declare myself as a freethinker now. Perhaps the "multi-religion" I've seen in my family has significantly shaped my thinking and made me ponder over what's my faith. Anyway, that's a bit side-tracked... Haha...I wanna go snorkelling, sunbathing...That's what I look forward to for so long. I'm going to try my best to convince my friends to go... Ahaha...

How's My Day?? BAD....

My mood took a nosedive today. Not quite a good day at work. Early this week, things seemed to flow pretty well, but today, everything appeared to go against the flow. Sigh, my reactions not going well, or maybe it's because I've not done well enough. Feeling really tired this week, no idea why. These two days I needed 2 coffee each day.. Bad, bad... But glad that my boss is kind, he has been patient with me, going through my data and spectrum, analysing and explaining things to me. It's wonderful of him and the more I should work harder to prove my ability! Cheer up & Jia you!!!

Look forward to long weekend!! But sg is boring... What shall I do then???

YoHoHooO... My New BlogSkin

YoHoHooOO.... My new blog skin is up! This time round, I managed to get everything nicely set up in 2-3 hrs time. Wow!! Actually, I was lazy to do any major change to the code, furthermore, I'm a comp-IT idiot. But pretty satisfied with my new blog skin I have. Like the previous background music, so decided to retain it. It's such a nice song! Haha...& I managed to find the mp3, so now I can listen to it any time I want. Heehee~~

Had a good weekend, meeting up with friends, lazing around. Bought a pink Fila sling bag for my friend's bdae. Oh, I like it too! Though I prefer the yellow one, this bdae gal prefers pink colour. Haha... No idea why, think that pink seems to be the "in" colour now. So many friends having pink craze now. Wahaha...

Well, think I'm in a pretty good mood lately. Perhaps after weeks of emotional struggle and uncertainty over my job, and now, I see that everything is more or less settled, I feel more at ease and happier. Glad to receive my confirmation (at last!!). After nearly a year on this job, I would still say that I'm still happy and satisfied, both with the job and my colleagues. I defintely hope to achieve more in time to come!!

Decision Making

A decision-making day. Well, I got the weekend to think about it - to stay or go. But think I've already got an answer in mind. Just thinking over my long term goals and plans... HmM...

Ponder Ponder Ponder: Will I Still be a Research Chemist in a Few Years Time??

Yeah, today I was back to work. Getting sick was no fun - bored of the sleep-eat routine at home, can't go jogging or swimming. Sigh...Lonely... At least at work I'll get to move around, do things, and make myself feel useful.

Had a terrible ear block today, guess it's a result of my runny nose. I could barely hear well, so my colleagues gotta shout into my ears. Haha.. Nothing much to do today, my boss seemed busy at his desk. He looked quite haggard too, have not seen him for the past 4 days, and he seemed to have aged tremendously! Aha, he didn't shave again. Maybe my absence was the cause of it, coz his work piling up. OOpz..

Today's lunch topic was "Our Future". Sounds like a primary school english essay topic. But no, no... It's definitely not. My colleagues talked about how bad it is for women like us (well, I feel that I'm still a gal thou...wahaha) to work as organic chemist. Yes, I do agree that it's a high risk job. High risk, be it our safety or our health. That's definitely a long-term concerns. Working in this line for 10, 20 years is bad for sure. Thou many safety measures have been in place, there's no 100% safety or protection. Sigh... But I would say, as til now, I enjoy what I am doing. I dunno how long this will continue... I often question myself, "So what's next on my life plan?" I have many dreams and plans, but I have reservations as to how far I would go and how many of my dreams and plans I can fulfil.

My fellow colleague hope to move over to admin work in a few years time. Guess then, she'll be married with kids already. Hehehe... Many think that it's not good for women to stay in chemical line for too long... But I don't seem to have much plan to move over to other lines. Lost sheep now.I start to ponder over what my colleagues said.. So what will I be doing few years down the road??

My 1st & Only MC for the Past 1 Year

Was having a cough, flu & fever. My doctor granted me a 1 day MC. Wahaha... slept for the whole day, no Monday blue this week. But, my clean record of zero MC for the past 1 year is now stained... ;-(

On Leave or MC??

Yeah, I'm on leave today! So glad that at last I'm on leave again. But, on second thought, I could have gotten an MC instead, down with flu & cough now... Haiz,what a waste!

Anyway, made plans to go cycling with my sis but this 4ever-lazy-gal said wanna go shopping now. And the amount of time she takes to get herself prepared for the ECP cycle...sigh... from a sunny morning to a dark, cloudy afternoon. Cannot stand it...sigh...Our character going way apart as we grow...

Well, yesterday was a pretty good day, happy coz I got quite a number of compounds to submit for testing. Haha...at last! But sometimes felt that we RAs are just like surrogate mothers, "give birth" to the compounds, and the very moment they are "borned", our boss grabbed it away from us and we have not much access as to what happen to them after that. Haha...sounds pretty bad, as if we are just the production operators...

Yesterday had a great time laughing at my boss (IM SO BAD!!!!). Haha...why? Coz the equipment which he had so much faith in screwed up & really pissed him off. I saw his compound going down the drain... Quite bad,really...Sigh... That's why I refused to use the equipment regardless of how he persuaded me. In this case, I'm smarter than him...Ahhaa

I always feared him coming to talk to me either before lunch hour or before knocking off, he likes doing that! Yesterday he came to me when I wanted to go off again. Sigh... I got to run for my tuition. Sigh, saw him walking towards me when I was drinking water, and ended up wetting my blouse and he laughed like mad. Yupz, funny, told him that my mouth is too small, that's why.. Haha.. Well, I always got problem drinking water from my bottle properly... Why??? Quite embarrassing to be walking around in my wet blouse... Haha...

Alrite, going out soon. Hope it won't take me another month long before I blog again. Cheerioz~~

Eventful (??!!) Week!

This week has been a pretty "eventful" week. When I say eventful in "inverted commas", it definitely points out that it's not something good. Well, well, true enough, most of my recent blog entries did not contain much joyful content. I guess this entry is the worst. I would say that this week has been "exciting", with a series of unfortunate events...

Sigh, sigh... the she & he are off and to think she suspected that I'm the one whom he had consulted with regards to their breakoff... Haiz...Damn upset.. Coz the donkey years of friendship diminishes to pea size when it comes to love or friend. As a friend, I won't do such a thing of course! Be it I like the guy anot, coz I'll be more than happy to welcome a live-happily-ever-after kind of ending for my friends!

Very blur at work this week, stressed, busy, tired... Things seemed to go wrong, sometimes very wrong, and I get really pissed off with myself too! Spilled a portion of "potion-might-be", dissolved another of my "potion-might-be" in DMSO. Everything can only be described by one crude but irreplaceable word - SHITTY!! My pooh-boss's killing me for my stupidity. I guessed he's been shaking his head real hard, and thinking twice, maybe even thrice, about confirming me this coming August. Sigh... Yes, and indeed, this week he has to submit a review report on our progress and performance. Damn! Everything has been pretty well til this week. And why must our review be done this week??!!! But luckily, I had some new findings this week, which kept him busy (wahaha) but happy... coz he can show off to my big boss..

And, and...got some nonsense this week. But well, don't wish to mention much about it, gonna dissolve it in concentrated acid...Wahaha

Oopz... think as a result of my bad mood, I've upset a friend, sounded abit harsh that day. Really apologetic. Already apologised to him,but still felt bad about it. How??

Got a bad news today, an uncle of mine just passed away. Haiz...Life! This is the second death which I've heard within a month. First it was my coll's mum, then now it's my uncle. Yep, and it got my mum so upset. Life is short, chase your dreams!!

A sucky week! Bless me with a better tomorrow!

Saddened....

Yeah! I'm back from my Bangkok trip!!! Well, it was a pretty enjoyable trip, but don't like the weather, it's hotter than S'pore. Furthermore, their air seemed to be full of dust,dirt...YUCKY!! I can see the specks of dust/dirt (so black!!) when I clean my face. Well, on the overall, I didn't buy alot of stuff, mostly are for friends and family. Only 6 tops, 4 bags, 1 sandals, 1 earrings, and a cap for myself. Not alot rite (embarrassed)?? Haha...

Well, I was saddened by the death of my colleague's mum when I got back. It's really so sudden. Just 2 weeks ago, she brought her parents on vacation, and now she's gone. But luckily, my colleague is strong, she has be strong coz her dad needs her now. Being the only child isn't easy. Especially now, she has greater responsiblity to bear.

Yes, we should all treasure the people around us and don't take them for granted. Love them and show your care and concern before it's too late.

Sticky Gluey Friends??!!

One thing that pissed me off recently is the sudden appearance of long, lost friends (??!!) who started talking so nicely, as if they miss me so dearly (BLAH!), but eventually to realise that they have embarked on a sales career!! That's when they will start promoting their products, be it health supplements, which they claimed to be some miracle pills, or insurance. Sigh, that's life! Especially when you start working, you'll see such friends (??!!) contacting you out of the blue. In the first place, they are not even my close friends, just "hi-bye" friends and one of whom I've only met twice. It's really irritating!!! I would say that they have superb pestering skills, lots of patience and ultra thick skin! Haha... That's why I know that I'm not the cut for sales line, as I bear none of the virtues they possess.

Well, well, I'm not that hard-hearted. I do understand that it's their job, as the only way for them to survive is to target friends, and of course, it's usually easier to approach less close friends as even if it's going to sour the relationship, they'll be less concerned since we are no more than just "hi-bye" friends. But, I still feel, to a greater extend, that they quite fackos. Miss me?? Then they would have started contacting me years ago, why wait til now? Maybe they really miss me (which I remain sceptical about!), but the timing is really not right. Missing a not-so-close friend at this point in time doesn't sound convincing enough. Maybe they have exhausted the list of friends in his contact list and I look like the sort of easy target for him. But sorry, it's a NO NO. I'm not easily convinced or swayed, though I may look as if I am.

So anyone out there who's into MLM or selling insurance, you can forget about convincing me. Ahaha...

My Spider-webbed Blog

Yesh! Think my blog is spidered-webbed coz I've sort of abandoned it for > a month. Hmmm... seriously think that my life is boring, not much things to share about & my past posts are mostly on my work, and they were boring. Well, not going to dwell too much into my work this time, as again, there's nothing else but STRESS and tremendous STRESS. My hair greying, going nuts, besides nuts, going berserk maybe. But things are improving towards end of this week, finally more relaxed and calmer. Without my boss around, work seemed even more hectic and stressful.

Well, other than work, I've been feeling lousy these days. Ermm...not pms, but haiz, lotz of problems, things to think through, really hate it. This May is quite a tough month for me, really can't wait for my Bangkok trip!!!

Haha...but but, something to be happy about this month too. Happy for my dear friend. Maybe a tough decision for her, but I'm more than happy to kick her off the shelf and off my previleged club.

For my dear friend who may be reading my blog, here's for you:

Believe in yourself, ok? Don't be fickled-minded lar. Don't shift the pressure to me, you should know that I'm hopeless... Haha..

So I'm an Iced Coffee....

You Are an Iced Coffee You're always on the go... so much so that you can't stop to drink warm coffee Iced coffee is the perfect energy boost for your crazy, hectic life And truth be told, you like your life to be on full throttle You stack activities constantly, so that you never have to slow down or be bored. Hmmm....think it's true to some extent... I can't slow down...wahaha

A Strange, Weird, Funny Encounter

Another workless day again. Felt so useless these 2 days, got nothing to do. SIGH!!!! Why??? My new "pet" has arrived but the person, simply missed out the consumables which I need, so I could not do any work at all. It's not productive!!! Haha...pretty funny, think my boss felt that I have been under quite a bit of stress last week, he want me to take things easy these 2 days. But, but... I have finished writing my labbook, clearing the mess on my desk, wiping my workspace, bumming around... Well, really really bored...soooOOOO bored you know?? I'm really a born workaholic. I can't stop working! My colleagues are so envy of me, but I really don't enjoy a minute of it. It's making me feel so useless and worthless...sigh...

Nothing else better to do, I started working on my presentation slides. Hey, my presentation is still a month away, so everyone's laughing at my kiasuness again...Wahaha...

Had a pretty funny encounter just now, as I was on my way home from tuition. As I was walking out of the carpark of my student's condo, a cabbie offered to give me a life. Quite friendly of him to offer, but i turned him down. Well well, think i was pretty paranoid, no idea of his intention, and since I was just a street away from my home, I could jolly well walk home. Come to think about it, it's so strange, rite??

In a Month's Time...

Wah, today my partner did her project presentation. It was fabulous. She spoke with much confidence and grace and I'm really impressed. Hmmm...in a month's time, it's gonna be my turn. Beginning to feel stressed and nervous already. Hope I'll be just as good, if not better... ;-)

Just worried that I'll freak out or get shoot with tough questions... Gotta start working on it real soon...

Sigh, I've been put into the organising committee for this year's teambuilding. Don't know whether I should be happy or worried. With this additional task (besides my hectic work project), I wonder when can I take a good long break... Haiz...

Anyway, it's really not an easy task to organise a teambuilding programme for the company. With such a wide age range, it's difficult to organise activities which suit all age groups as well as different interest groups. The present plan is to go on some OBS sort of adventure programme in Malaysia. Well, I kinda rejoiced at the idea since I've never been on any OBS programs. But sadly, I've received many bad comments and criticism from fellow colleagues who kinda jeered at the idea. Sigh, most of them not spontaneous about it, complained about the long bus ride of 8 hours, which I really understand. But, personally, I look forward to such travels, with my colleagues, the fun! But guess not everyone thinks the same way as I do as 1. It's my 1st job, so it's the 1st time I'm going on such company retreat. 2. I'm the youngest in my unit, so I supposed I'm the most energetic! Ahahaha.... 3. I'm 1 of the organisers, so I gotta be "on"?!?! 4. I love such adventure stuff.

Ok, fine, I should not be so selfish, I should think about and consider how the rest feels about it too. I don't want everyone to be dragging themselves there, when we are supposed to let our hair down and have fun. I'll gather their feedback. Well, it' already tough to organise activities for same age group, like my experience back in those days as harmo president... sigh...

It's even tougher now I know. Just hope we wont end up in Sentosa or Pulau Ubin...ahaha....

Chemistry is just like Cooking....

"Chemistry is just like cooking. With the right ingredients and conditions, you will be able to make fantastic dishes. The same applies to life!!!"

Hmmm.... the above line is by.... ME, but it's in fact quoted from a really fantastic Chemist whom I've met today. Wow, he's really a very experienced chemist, even a missing methyl group can't escape from his eyes. I'm really very impressed with him. He's impressed with our performance & hardwork thus far, kept saying that we've been "cooking" hard...Hehehe...

Well, I really like the lines and I've always associate chemical reactions with cooking, just like him wahaha... Guess great minds think alike, maybe I've the potential to be such a fantastic chemist like him too!! Bluahh....

But I really think that the same principle applies in life. With the right things happening or meeting the right people at the appropriate time, things gonna work great, don't they? And for a relationship too... But I've yet found my ingredients and ideal conditions.... Haha.... ;p

Makan Challenge???

Today, I had a more than usual Saturday. I have to wake up early in the morning just like my usual work days. Ermm... no worries, not heading for work. I've agreed to join my dear friend in youth activity called "Makan Challenge". YOUTH??? U must be wondering how come I'm still considered as a youth...Haha... Hey, youth = 25 years old & below... So I'm safely under this category... Hehe... on the upper end of the age range though...

The weather did not turned out as expected, it rained before the challenge began. But it's in fact a good sign that it's starting to rain again!! The weather is getting back to normal I hope. Well, the heat these days is killing me... Thank god, we were lucky enough that the rain stopped just before the programme commenced, though still drizzling... But it was good enough to start...

We had a "good" time running from Youth park to Dobby Ghaut, then to Orchard & back to Dobby Ghaut... Well, it didn't just ended there... We had these sort of crazy runs for a couple of times & it's driving my legs mad... PLUS, I was soaked with a mixture of rain water & sweat... YUCKS... Seriously, I stinked & it's really disgusting!!! But what a great workout I had on a Saturday morning!!

What's more disgusting is that you know what sort of great delicacies we had for the so-called Makan Challenge? Yeah, it's really "delicacies"....things like chilli, bittergourd, lime, apple, sour plum, tomato, and worst of all, raw beansprout!!! Now wonder my friend's bf got diarrhoea...Haha...

Well, our team didn't do too badly, at least we came in sixth among the 20 teams...though we've missed the first 4 prizes (1st prize was a bluetooth MP3, not ipod, as previously claimed by my dear friend...) we managed to get a consolation prize!!! Ermm...well, it's a pathetic pilot pen & pencil set...(pretty sad case)...

Had a gd time with another dear at Essential Brew restaurant in the evening... A pretty nice place to sit & laze around on weekends... Highly recommended!!!

Happy CNY!!!

Happy CNY, folks!! Ermm.. Sorry, my greetings seem to come pretty late, today is already the third day of Chinese New Year. Well well, it's better to be late than never, isn't it? Haha...

Well, had a good CNY this year, lotz of visitings from my relatives, ermm...that means I've rotted at home for the last 2 days!!! Sigh... Made my body ached, but recovered after a morning swim today...Hehe~~ So fulfilling... Well, have not been into the pool for almost 2 weeks, ever since i fell sick... Now i'm almost back to normal again... ;-)

Last 2 days, we had visits from my aunts & cousins... Really nice to see my dearest cousins yesterday. Well, we have not been doing such visits for a couple of years, so happy to have them over at my place yesterday... Hehe...

Well, still having a bit of cough...so gotta keep away from the CNY goodies... Haiz... (Though I did eat a bit....Hahah.... SHHHhh...)

Yeah, a good CNY break, but gonna be back at work on Monday... V'dae somemore....Sigh....

CNY Steamboat Dinner - Round 1

Today I have attended a whole day analytical training... So tiring... Think my medicine made me drowsy, though I have gave the cough mixture a skip today... Think yesterday's dose was still taking effect...For so long? I wonder too...

This morning felt pretty drowsy on the train, wanted to sleep, but saw a pregnant woman who had no place to sit.. I felt bad not to give up my seat to her... Think that she needed the seat more than I did... So I tried to sleep while standing...but of course that's not possible...though I dozed off quite a couple times while standing...haha...

The analytical training was a good one i think, but I really felt too sleepy to concentrate...dozed off at times again... ;

After a day of training, I saw a stack of papers on my workbench..Good guess! It's my boss who left me the stuff... Work!! He threw me 2 reactions for tomorrow... ;-( It's Friday tomorrow...but he wants me to clear as many reactions as possible before I go on my leave next week...So sad...Can't he see that I'm sick? Not even a word of concern from him.... He said that he hoped the reactions work tomorrow so that he'll have a good weekend... So do I... I want a good Friday & weekend too.... ;-(

Never mind about that, I'll be on leave soon...hehe~~ After work, we went Coca restaurant for steamboat! It was fun!! I admit that I was lousy...ate so little, no appetite mah...still feeling sick.... sigh... But it's really an enjoyable dinner.... ;p

There's going to be another round of steamboat tomorrow... ;-)

So Malu!!!

Yesterday something terrible happened. Made me really malu... But I don't wish to go into the details of that incident. Think my sis is right, I still don't know how to take care of myself... :-( Now I'm losing my voice...Haha...sexy voice now... ;p


Anyway, these week should be pretty relaxed at work. I attended a pharmaceutical seminar these 2 days. Well, some parts were pretty interesting but I just can't stand sitting from 9am -5.30pm! Think that's making me sick...


Well, hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to go on a tour to Jurong Island... Hope that the MPs coming to visit us in the afternoon instead.. Well, I have yet been to JI, so this is a good chance to go...


Another full day training on Thursday, which means that for this week, I just have to work on Friday, then next week I'll be on leave!! Hooray!!!

OTs & OTs....

Oh manz.... I've been doing OTs these few days, missed my swim again... ;-(

Well, so nice to see my big boss visiting us again this morning. He came over to chat with my colleague & I. Kinda sweet, he apologised for not visiting us so often these days. Well, we understand how busy he is. Besides, now we got a new boss, guess he feels that he should let our new boss take charge instead. But he's really a charismatic guy. A really nice gentleman. Oopz...no other meanings attached, my colleague felt the same way too, coz he's really a good boss. ;-)

As for new boss....Haiz... think he's a chain smoker. Always come into the lab with strong cigarette smell. YUCKS!! But no choice, he's my boss, there's nothing much I can do about it. Maybe should buy him some breath freshener..Heheh.. My write-ups are piling...coz everyday I gotta run so many reactions to satisfy my new boss...no time to clear my paperwork... & that's y i gotta stay late these days... Yet he kept telling me that it's late, I should go home. Well, if he gives me less reactions, I'll be able to go home early,rite? Sigh...Well, be positive, lotz to learn from him... ;p

Long Waited Long Weekends!!!

It's has been 2 weeks since I last blog..Haha..in other words, I have not been practising my driving skills for 2 weeks already! Well, still waiting for my driving license to arrive... ;-)

Arghh....a hectic week, though still not getting the full blown of it. But guess it'll be pretty soon!!! Sigh...

My new boss just came in this week, but he's already keeping us busy, & well, he messed up my work, my reaction!?!!Sob sob... But luckily, I was still able to recover my stuff, though the yield was poorer than expected. Simply feel that he's too impatient, yupz...just got his keyword today -- SPEED!!! Everything he talks about is speed, speed & speed. Just because he's too impatient to wait, he caused me to screw up my stuff. In the end, a task which can be completed in less than a day took me 3 days to finish!! Sigh, isn't it much worse this way? It's only 4 days since he came & we have slaved & shagged like hell...Hope it's not going to be a long term thing... :-(

He wants things to be done in his way, sigh...so MCP, so egoistic.. & he has been monitoring us so so closely...every hour a spotcheck! Alemak!!! Sleepless nites, now my mind all about work...However, I should be thankful that he has been teaching us quite alot of stuff, really a good opportunity to learn from him.

Yupz, gotta be more optimistic,cheer up, shall enjoy my long weekends before Monday again.... ;-p
