Spent my Weekend in "Confinement"

It's Monday again! Not a bad day, pretty busy with work as usual, but already feeling alot better & back to my usual self. All thanks to the 2 days of rest/MC last week! Getting back a little more drive to work as things appear more optimistic now & I'm already taking things more easily liao. =p

Oh, guess what? Today bossy told me that proj will be extended til 15 Sep! Haha... dunno to be sad or happy, for him & for me as well. Happy for him & I coz now we have more time to achieve our goal, & his head might be spared. Hhaa... Sad for me coz again, it dragged on & I really hate the dragginess! It's also sad for him coz I'll be going away soon... He got no choice but to release me lah, coz I've already given him chances, yet he kept insisting that there's no extension... Too bad liao...ahaha

But as things get better for my proj, other things happening around just not as expected. Sigh...but hope some of the changes will improve the present situation :)

Well, last sat & Sun really like staying in confinement coz I was stucked in ktv room on both days! Sat was great, ktv-ing wif Rain & gang for a good 5HRS!! Nearly lost my voice, 3ppl sang for 5hrs, really powerful, rite? All thanks to these 2 ktv queens, I'm not a ktv queen lor... Rain, u promised me some bird nest, rite? Hey, I want authentic 1 leh, not the 60 cents dunno wad bird nest drink from market's drink stall, k? Haha... Then dinner we went to our 'lao di fang', all the sweet memories started flowing back... Wah seh, Rain & I already know each other for 17 YEARS leh! It's really fate that we get in touch again after some 10yrs gap & we became closer than we used to. Remember the great times that we had playing zero-point after school, going to the playground for the swing after house practice! Haha... Lots of fun time then, and those happened some 10++ yrs back! Now we lao liao Hhaa...

Sun was again another activities-filled day. Started off with my usual workout, did kickboxing this round & now I'm suffering from muscle ache... :( But it was a great sweat-it-out session. Then went lunch before going to watch the final match. Great match, emerged as the champions again, congrats! After match, dinner and the KTV again, OMG!!! It's a fun bunch of people to be with but think I got claustrophobia leh, or rather I can't tahan sitting in a room, moving my mouth not my limbs for some 8hrs in 2 consecutive days. Yeah, I'll die! Sing til I wanna puke liao leh. Gal, me not as power as u to sing & sing yet wont feel sick of it. So this weekend I'm going back to my blading ground! Hhaa...

OK, hope it's a smooth-sailing week! Counting down to my hols...Heez =p

Yet another MC...

Blog at this hr, not in office coz I'm on MC! Yup, 2nd MC for the week. Haha... Down with gastric flu, but infact I feel pretty good now. Had a really bad flu in office yesterday, kept sneezing & nose got really runny, til the extent that my nose even started peeling from the constant rubbing. But the moment I stepped out of my office, the runny nose stopped. Haha..See, I say I'm too sick of work, it's really so true leh. The bug only bugged me in office, once I'm out of the place I'm ok. Haha...

Work & life have made me quite tired these few months. Deadlines @ work just kept dragging on and on that it becomes so sian to work already. Think it's going to drag again, from end August to Sep? I think that's sure to happen especially when we see some good results now. *So happy yet a little dreadful* Booked my hols so die die I will oso go away in Sep. Just don't like to have things hanging in mid air when I go hols, then come back got to look at those shit again. But still, looking forward to my recharging hols =p

As for my life, too overwhelming maybe, many things and issues to manage and all seem crashing down on me at this point in time. That's why I feel so stressed up and easily depressed lately bah, coz I've never been like that before leh. Yah, LLT, u r rite! I got many "interesting" friends, but all I asking for is just a simple life leh. Haha.. But of course I see this period of time as a very gd life experience, coz it definitely brings me a step closer to understanding people and facts of life. It has also made me a stronger person for sure. Really thanks to my fabulous friends who have been giving me support and encouragement all this while. Really glad to have you guys around! *MUACKS*

For the past 2 wks this uni classmate of mine has been trying to reach me. I've heard from many other classmates about how she likes to make use of people, so I'm extra wary of her liao. Expectedly, she actually saw the job ad for my co & wanna apply. Guess what? She asked if I know the person hiring (obviously it's my nicey big boss) and wanted me to pass her resume to him. Really KNS! She jz wanna make use of me to pull strings & get the job. My co's job application is so easy, a 5-min fill-in-the-blank questionaire & you can submit the application online lor. Smsed her that & I think she's not happy that I refused to help her. No reply from her then, not even a 'thank you'! So from this you can easily see what kind of person she is... I'm now praying hard that she won't get the job offer...

Realised that I've been spending alot of $$ on entertainment lately. Haha...OH GOSH!!! What happened? But I wasn't involved in retail therapy leh, thou I bought some clothes last sat. Haha...but I'm never a shopping person unless I see the need to buy something. But spent alot on food, movies, ktv, & hols! I'm getting more & more spendthrift! Hmm...is spending a good stress reliever? Or probably doing things together with good companions make me happier and it doesn't matter how much I spend. Isn't it a vicious cycle? U earn, spend, becomes happy and when you are happy you are motivated to work harder & earn more. Haha...

MC Granted!!

Silly me! Fell & hit my forehead yesterday afternoon, now got a big bulge liao :( This accident earned me an MC today. Haha...Yah, friends know that I've been dying for an MC for a long long time, at last I got it, not in the way I expected thou...Only expected some flu, cough or fever, not physical injuries..

Anyway, it's definitely a good rest day since I've been 'qiong-ing' late nites since Friday! Haha..

This is how I spend my MC day:

This morning got up around 7am leh. Sigh...my body's so used to my normal waking up hours already, want to sleep oso cannot get back into sleeping mode, so got up for breakfast and read my book, "Men r from Mars, Women r from Venus". Well, most of the points are pretty valid I think, the differences between men and women, their thinking and needs. A really interesting book =p

Went to see doc Quek at 10+am. He's so scared that the blood clot on my forehead will spread to my eyes and caused me to lose my sight. Luckily I can still see clearly, so only 1 day MC granted. But this is gd enuf. Heez~~ Came back, online to chat with some pals, den off I go to Northpoint to meet LLT for lunch. Another sinful lunch - KFC! All thanks to U lor.. I got 2 red bombs coming soon. Gotta start losing weight liao. Ahaha... Yah, think today u r more entertained by my "interesting stories", rite? But it's gd to hear your opinion of the incidents. Thanks alot! =) Didn't felt like going home after lunch, coz it's so rare that I can shop on a weekday afternoon leh! So I went jalan jalan at Northpoint. A small shopping mall with not much things leh, but I still managed to buy the soundtrack for 'Helen & the baby fox' which I wanted. Spent again!! :(

Gotta reached home before 3pm coz auntie promised to bring her 3 mths old puppy, Don Don over. It's shih tzu breed! Very cuteeee!!!! He has pretty long fringe which kept covering his eyes. Really feel like cutting off his fringe for him. Haha...just kidding lah. Took quite a couple of pix for Don Don, but he don't like to take pix. Likes to lick and bite me alot! Haha...so fun to have him around today. Gave him some food to eat & it kept following me! Haha..cute dog which don't feel comfortable peeing outside his home. But eventually, think he could not hold any longer, so he peed and pooed at my place. Haha...

Tmr going back to work liao... Haiz...so sian... :(

Feeling very angry with some stupid guy who has a filthy mouth and definitely a filthy mind. A CHEAP guy!!! Congrats to you! You are no longer considered as my friend, and off you go into my condemned list! U should be feeling really honoured as I have yet done this to anyone else except you.

This is definitely not the very first time that you are making me angry for saying disgusting things to me. Yesh, I utterly disgusted by your words! Don't blame me for being petty or not being able to take your so-called JOKES. If not for that I'm angry, will you say that you were just kidding? U kept saying that you are only talking cock, say but wont do anything. GOD KNOWS! It's your eyes and your brain/ brains (Guys are said to have 2 brains,remember?)! U are being so disrespectful to a gal, and yet you expect me to laugh it out, like "Haha..it's ok, continue with your silly & crude jokes, I can take it since we are GOOD friends!" I must be really out of mind then! Please lor, it's not about me having low tolerence for such jokes, it's definitely no joke to me. You better use your upper brain more often! All your R-rated and pervertness are pissing me off. How can I still keep such a disgusting and disrespectful friend? All I can say is that you are beyong hope! And you dare to claim that any other guys are just as disgusting as you. Oh please, you r the MOST disgusting guy that I've ever met. I think you deserve the "hard candy" way of treatment! *Haha*

Thanks for the past and I wish you all the best for your future endeavours. Hope you will not bother me in future.


P.S. Qing, please convey the above msg to your disgusting friend. I'm damn disgusted by him liao. To this point, no amount of apologies will help.

Grant Me an MC, Please!!!

What am I doing? Blogging at this hour when I'm supposed to be working?? I TERRIBLE NEED AN MC!! I dun want to work! Think I'm suffering from work phobia already! Probably I'll need to go IMH to get one... I've been expecting to get an MC since last Thursday, have been sneezing, though not too badly, have been eating heaty junky food. But I'm still in office now... :( Am I too healthy to fall sick? Y didn't I fall sick or feel at least abit sick to earn an MC for the day? I starting to sink back into depression mode again? Cannot!! Sigh...

U guys must be thinking that I'm going siao...Well, true, coz I dunno which direction I'm heading in for my work. Furthermore, bossy is not around and I need his advice. Sigh =( My paperwork is piling, and I can't quite be bother already. Ermm...still quite bothered, decided to lunch in for the week to clear them =( Besides the actual PJ, I still got other 'secondary tasks' to do... I NEED An ESCAPE!! Going nuts soon again.. Haiz...

I wanna take leave now, but I know I can't. I'm feeling so sian now. I wish I can take out my Sudoku game to play now. Thanks to my friend for the great gift! It seems like a good destresser or should say an escape from work for the moment! Haha... SOS... SOS...

Only 2 more weeks to go??

Another week spent searching for the "invisible needle" in the haystack! Sigh...not much findings, even with Glad joining my 'task force'. On the very 1st day she worked on my thing, she already realised its tediousness. WAH! At last someone truly understand my mental struggles for the past 2.5 months! Enuf about work, it's same boring stuff, stress & more stress, ambiguity & more ambiguity.

Wed was Nat Day, at last a public hol! Went out with my sec gals to catch a movie, den to TMC and a 'talk-it-out session'. I oso dunno what to talk it out. I know that problems exist in our friendship but these probalems are sadly, but definitely unavoidable. It's just part & parcel of life! I feel that as you grow and move on, you will meet different friends who'll be able to provide you with different support & needs at different time. Another growing up & learning process in life bah! Haha...
1st time to c 1 of the gals flared up, sorry to have upset you :(
This made me cold war with OLBF, banished him into the cold palace! Haha... Well, things are ok now, I'm not so petty, k? Just wanna him to realise that certain things he shouldn't interfere, and what's more, made me lose trust in him liao.
Not only me, everyone around me seems to be in a not-so-good mood lately. Hope it's not bcoz of my influence! Haha...

Haha...I've watched like 3 rounds of fireworks during this fireworks festival. So nice! But I think still like the ones at HK Disneyland the most, where the fireworks were at the sleeping beauty palace! =) Nice weekend catching up with friends & blading... Haha... But next wk 2 kakis going away...sigh...

Tmr work liao...wish me luck! =p

Such a short session! I want more!!!

Slept at almost 2am this morning yet got up at 6+am & can't get to sleep already. All my biological clock's fault! Now I still feel tired... Anyway, good to get up early on a Sat morning, no tuition... Heez.. But decided to give jogging & swimming a miss so that I can pack my room. Well, my mama has been nagging at me to do so :S

Feeling happier this weekend, or probably should say that certain things in life simply cannot be understood & are not within our means to control. So indeed, this stressful & depression period is really a good learning journey for me. Yesh! I'm getting back to my optimistic self! :)

Yest was 1 of the few times that I felt like OT-ing til midnite. Sounds crazy, rite? Coz there's this experimient that I was doing and I felt really anxious to c if it works. If it does, it means that my hardwork for the last 2 months have not gone to waste! But hp kept beeping & ringing coz I'm supposed to meet my gals at 6.30pm for a bdae celebration. And another group of pals going to get a blated bdae present for HD. Yet I was still in lab at that time! I wish I can split myself up into 3!! Anyway, I was too engrossed with my work then, din bother to reply or pick up the calls. Hha...Sorry pals..

Thou I often complain about my bossy, he's in fact a really sweet boss & definitely 1 whom I can be frank with. Ya, that's nice about working with ang mohs, they are more willing to accept comments, good and bad ones. Told bossy that I'm losing my motivation, it's like searching for a needle in the haystack. But in the 1st place, is there any needle in the haystack? Ahaha...DUNNO!!! Think should have, coz others have searched before. So y can't I find it?? Anyway, bossy remember my nice big bossy, oh yah, my so-called godfather, saying that he has to keep us smiling if not he'll be in deep trouble. Well, my big bossy dotes on us, especially since RH & I were trained by him personally. Bossy has been trying to keep me smiling, & asked RH to keep me smiling too (I asked RH to dance for me to make me smile & indeed she danced! Ahaha...*MUACKS*). Think these words r sufficient to keep me smiling & work on. Heez~~ Yah, bossy even stayed on to wait for me to finish up my work, he won't leave me alone I know. So I can't even stay til midnite or come back on weekend even if I wanted to. Thanks & I felt so blessed! :) I hope to see some good results on Mon!!!

Yah, I was pretty late for the bdae-ktv celebration, no time for dinner either so could only grab some bun & tu-tu kueh. Not very satisfying thou, coz lunch had a sandwich only (no time...). Anyway, it was a fun session, such a rare meetup with all 7 of us, but w/o sea cucumber, who's still MIA in Aust :(
Well, I'm now stepping down as an organiser for meetups, this round 'de has been tasked to organise, I jz wanna be a follower.. But in d end I still gotta step in hor, to settle d present. Y it always seem like only I know what my pals want? Sigh... Anyway, happy that Min loves the watch, & she had a really great evening yest, so did we. Evil 'de! Made me sing a duet alone, then I gotta jaga both male & female parts?! :'(
But it's such a short session, we got lotz of catchups to do but no time. Anyway, Cat said she'll fix the next gathering, hope it'll be some time real soon! =p

Wah, a really long entry today...but I'm just going to continue.. Haha...

Another happy thing is that 'de got the job which I recommended! Congrats, my dear!!! Now I got 2 new lunch kakis liao. Haha... So good! But hopefully I'll have the time to go out for lunch :)
'de's happy too (coz got eye candies THERE? haha) but can't bear to close down her Do-nothing-but-rot club. How can you be like that? Almost a year alr, u know? U know how much effort I've gone into searching jobs for u? So u beta work hard, at least for my Rochester treat next month. Haha.. No lah, I help u but don't ask for anything in return, so long as u r happy working, even a treat at hawker centre is good enough :)

Tired, just wanna a relax weekend now. Look forward to tmr's skating carnival! Cheerios~~




P.S. Wah, U r really my LLT! U know I'm in a better mood now, still stressed thou. Heez..

Am I incompetent?

Left 3.5 weeks, to the deadline & hopefully to my freedom not death day... Well, still struggling to stay afloat, stressed but no longer feeling depressed, no worries. Stress is definitely unavoidable at this point of the project. Tired, tired... But I'm disciplined not to take MC or leave til next month. Haha.. luckily next wednesday is PUBLIC HOLIDAY!! Hooray!!! Actually to me now, it means less 1 working day to finish my tasks. Sigh.. :( I've become such a workaholic now!

I really wonder why the things didn't work as we hope for. Is it that I'm incompetent or the things just don't work? I start to wonder if the problems lie with me. I feel so helpless and lonely fighting a almost solo war. Boss always tell me "NEVER GIVE UP'!
But he's going to abandon me for the next 2 weeks. ARGHHHhhh... I can't wait for this torturous period to be over soon!
