Happy Weekend =)

It's Sunday nite again!!! Pre-Monday blue? Ermm...not really, but still thinking if I should take MC tmr coz I'm down with rashes now & the itch is unbearable!!! But I can't afford a day of MC given the approaching deadline. Sigh... Why am I always so ill-fated? :S

Anyway, this weekend has been a gd one. Enjoyed my blading classes this week coz we learnt something new - A-frame turn!! It's not too tough, however, I always have the tendency to tilt my body whenever I do the turns. Haha... Also got to know 2 little sweet gals during blading class today, they are really cute! I wish I'm still a kid too! Haha~~

Yest was my 1st time attending a friend's wedding. Actually it's more like a glaxo mass gathering and catch-up session with my long-time-no-see friends! Haha.. Time flies! I've left the co for 2.5yrs already! It's really nice to meet up with the ex-colls, ex-sups & ex-bosses. Really miss the fun time I had back there 2.5yrs ago. But of course there were depressing times too! Still remb that I was known as the "cheapest labour" back then. Haha~~ Surprisingly, I was pretty close with the gang of students in SPT, especially bumble bee! Hhaa... Glad that til now we are still quite close, or infact closer than during our attachment time. Heez...Met up with my dearest ex-sup, Ah Prim! Hhaa...too bad didn't get to sit with her, must really meet up for a dinner soon! Joined PW group at Vivocity for movie after the dinner (or rather I ran off half-way thru! Haha.. Anyway, the crowd at my table was on some sian topics.. Haha). But missed my fav banquet dessert, YAM PASTE, & forgot about the cute wedding favour (yesh, I'm cheapo, so wad? Haha) :(

Today's a pretty busy day too! Bladed early this morning, then went for potluck at WL's house and met up with some friends in the evening for a bday celebration. So sorry that I didn't join in for the ktv session this afternoon,too tired. Only slept for 3-4hrs last nite. Haha~~

Overall, it's a great weekend! Okok...gotta get back into "working mode", it's Monday again!! =)

End of Long Hols & Start of NEW Project!

OMG!!! My 4 days of long weekend is gone!! Didn't do much stuff over this hols, was spending most of my time at home rotting & doing my Beijing report. However, find it a good break. Haha...doing nothing & bumming around can be quite recharging too! =)

Monday was my co's hol, so brought dad & mum, & also my niece out to Harbourfront for dim sum buffet. But then, bad timing for me! Wasn't feeling too well, so in the end didn't eat much dim sum. Luckily the 3 of them enjoyed the food there. Heez... It's been quite a while since I last brought my parents out, and this time round, it was a trip to the newly opened Vivocity!!! It was VERY crowded, even though it's a working day. I supposed many people have taken leave to enjoy the long weekend. Pa & Ma were amazed by the mega-size shopping mall. Find it just another shopping mall with the same few shops. Well, saw a few nice boutiques thou, wanna shop but pa & ma just walk and walk as if we are in a park not a shopping mall. Haha...Yah, they only window-shop, & I guess they are only interested in electrical appliances shops & hypermart. Ahaha... I find the stretch outside Vivocity very nice coz it gives a great view of Sentosa. Hmm...come to think of it, it has been donkey years since I last stepped into Sentosa. Hhaa

Basically I rotted at home for the whole of Hari Raya Puasa's morning & afternoon coz ktv session was postphoned and later my date with Kheng was cancelled as well. Sigh... But at least I managed to get my report going, but... still 50% more to go. Wahaha... The very least, I stepped into town in the evening to meet up with LLT for dinner & movie. Watched the Scoop, and Hugh Jackman is really charming leh. His smile can really make 1 melt! Ade, u love him too, rite? Then must catch the Scoop & The Prestige!! Heez...As for the female lead, Scarlett Johansson, she looks very plain to me at 1st, but the more I watched her in the show, the more I find her pretty. Haha

Started on my new proj already. Quite enjoy solo work now coz everything's within my own control. Still got quite abit of stuff to be done before bossy returns next week. So wish me luck!!!

Oh, weekend's coming again!!! Haha~~

50% of superlong weekend's gone!

Weekend just come & go so quickly!But luckily this is going to be a long weekend for me since tmr is my co's hol & Tuesday is Hari Raya Puasa. Yeah~~ =)

Well, didn't really do much for the last few days. Fri evening went out with Ade to get my contact lenses. But this stupid shop wanted to charge me 30 bucks more for "educating" me on proper lens care & stuff (coz it's my 1st time wearing. Haha). OMG!!! 30 bucks more leh! My lenses only cost 25 bucks per box after my staff discount, u know? I rather waste whole box of lenses on trying to put them on my eyes than paying 30 bucks for nothing. Yah, gal, I rather pay u the 30 bucks lor. Haha... So of course, in the end, we just walked off. So at the end of the day, I didn't buy a single thing while Ade spent almost 50 bucks on clothes! Wahaha... So happy to see others spending $$ leh.. Heez =p

Yesterday & today were spent blading at ECP. Yest's class was fun but today's was a little boring & didn't really learn any new techniques. But on both days, it was fun playing with Oscar. Heez... All thanks to LLT & family too! It's really nice to see that your family is so close =)

Oh yah, Ryan passed both his chemistry & physics!!! Happy for him & hope he continues to work hard. Yah, will deliver my promise to him, a treat! =)

Yah, better get my Beijing report going & gotta prepare some stuff for my new project too. One man show again, but I supposed this round wont be as bad as the previous one.

It's Friday!!!

It's Friday & long weekend's coming!! In fact, didn't really go into making much plans for this coming long weekend except for bringing my parents out on Monday. Haha~~ Too bad that sis & bro can't join us, so I'll be the only guide. Well, decided to bring pa & ma to the newly opened Vivocity! Sigh...but ma finds the place abit too far leh. She's so lazy!! Really dun want her to coop herself up at home most of the time. It's really scary to hear so many people committing suicide, u know? So no matter what, I'll still drag her out of the house that day. Haha =)

This morning had a confrontation again. I clearly know that this round it's indeed my fault thou. I shouldn't have peeped into his stuff. But sometimes I really dunno leh, is it that I didn't trust him enough? I used to trust him alot, the way he handles things, how he takes care of himself. But somehow, the trust seems to be lost in a way. Feel that trust is to be earned, not given. Seeing him to get so stressed over $$ issues upsets me too. Probably I shouldn't worry for him too much, afterall, he has grown up & I'm in no position to control him (don't want to control him either!). Just that with the freedom he's given, hope he's sensible enough to make the right decisions. Don't want him to regret in the future too.

Lately, heard & see alot of people ard me who are troubled by $$ issues too. Oh well, in fact, it's something that everyone thinks about everyday, rite? Haha... Yah, I think about $$ too!! There's definitely nothing wrong with that, afterall, it's $$ which makes the world goes round mah. Ahaha... To me $$ is definitely important, I want more $$ too!! Haha... But sometimes really feel sick of all these money-chase leh. Dunno if what I'm typing is still making sense now. Ahaha...
Anyway, heard that this guy frd has been liking this gal for many years already, but didn't dare to woo her coz he's not rich. I also understand the whole story behind why this gal want a rich bf lah. Ahaha... but then, this guy frd is really a nice guy leh. Felt abit sad for him, but at the same time, I understand the reason the gal has (maybe only partly thou..). Given another "case study" it really triggers me to ponder ,"Is bread more important or love?"

Nothing is absolute in this world, always need a gd balance of everything. But then, if i were to choose, which will I pick then? Hmmm... Hahah

Haze, Haze Go Away!!!

I wonder when will the sky clears? The haze is making everything seems so dull & gloomy and I really don't feel like doing anything outdoor. Every morning as I stare out of my windows, I thought I'm at Genting Highlands. Haha..except for the weather, of course! Yah, now I miss the bright clear sky as well as the sun so much! Sigh... I guess many of us have taken these things for granted all the while, rite?

Anyway, for the past week, everything was pretty well-paced. At work, I'm almost done with my old, draggy project, except that I still gotta tie up some loose ends. New project is still in the warming up stage, but really not used to the pace now & how smooth the new project runs (*cross fingers*). Yah, my friends & colleagues always say that I'm born to slave. Haha.. Is it really true then? Hmm... Anyway, looking forward to more challenges =) Well, other than my project, still got some stupid secondary tasks to deal with. Oh well, not that those tasks are tough or what, but I've some really uncooperative colleagues who are really pissing us off. But what to do?

Happened to come across this article in yesterday's recruit. It's about "Taiji-ing" @ work. Haha...a really interesting article. Yeah, I've already learnt how to "taiji" my work now, coz there's really an unfair distribution of some work. Or probably I should use the word "delegate", rite? Haha... sounds much better haha

This weekend was a relaxed one. Fri nite was spent with my dearest sis & bro makaning & chit-chatting. It's been such a long while since we 3 last went out for dinner. It was a great evening! Hope we can really do it more often, ok?

On Sat, I basically "nua" at home for the entire morning & afternoon. In fact I wanted to go for a jog & swim, but the haze just made me don't feel like it. Wanted to start on my Beijing report but in the end ... ... Hhaa...well, yah, too lazy lar. Sat still gotta do work?! So of course I chucked it aside! Haha.. Evening was spent with my JC clique to celebrate Sze's bday. Glad that she likes the present =) She even thought that the food hamper was pre-wrapped which in fact I'm the one doing all the purchasing & packaging. Heez... So my hamper wrapping skill is quite pro leh. =p
After dinner it's midnite movie with LLT @ Vivocity. Didn't find the place as fascinating as I thought thou. It's rather out of way too. But it was so packed with people even at 10+pm. I guess if ther'll still be this much crowd a few months later? Hmm...

At last we managed to start on our blading lesson today! It was fun but some steps abit stupid lar. Like learning the steps to fall. Coz I thought when u fall you'll just fall, will one have the time to think of & use the steps? Haha... After which got to meet Oscar. He's such a sweet & obedient boy! I guess he had quite abit of fun playing in the cold water today. Heez~~
It's such a tiring day for me, lack of sleep & all. Yet in the end I still met up with Ade for shopping & gossip session. Ahaha... Well, shopping part was kinda a "no choice" thingy, coz got 2 red bombs end of this month & mid next month & I need clothes for that. Being a gal is so troublesome leh. And definitely high maintenance cost. Hhaha

Monday's here again! Let's all hope it's a less bluey one & hope the air clears REALLY SOON! And..... LONG WEEKEND'S COMING!!!! =)


P.S. To LLT: Really happy to see that you got good opportunities coming. If it's a good one, seize it! Don't forget my treats after that hor. Wahaha =)

Feeling Better...BUT the Haze Came....

The weather really sucks now. Sigh... It's making me feel so sick and lethargic, to the extent that I'm having a headache now (well, not too sure if it's coz of the haze or the stress I've faced for the past wk. Haha~~) When will the haze clear? Now I can't jog, can't blade and can't swim and don't feel like staying outdoor. Sigh... I really can't stand it. I want the clear blue sky and the sun! The haze makes everything seems so gloomy leh... =(

Anyway, these few days not in much mood to do anything. Becoz of the haze or ...? Yesterday I decided to give most activities a miss. The b'dae BBQ, uni friends' gathering and ... Yah, tired and didn't feel like meeting people. Haha...Oh well, feeling better already, no worries. Quite a few things made me happy yesterday. It's such a coincidence that my new coll is actually my JC junior! well, not just that she's from my JC, she's from my junior class too. OMG!!! We were quite surprised. Well, yah, it's such a small small world! Haha~~ We were both shocked and found it unbelievable! Think we looked like 2 "siao cha bo" screaming in the middle of orchard road yesterday. *Malu* Haha!! Well, so now I've promised not to bully her her anymore. But hmm... she's way too cute already and I just couldn't stop making fun of her. Haha...

Yest was Ryan's b'dae. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, RYAN!!! Dropped him a sms and of course, I asked about his Chemistry paper. Guess what? He said that he's extremely confident that he'll be able to pass. I'm so happy for him! Really hope that he does well. =)

Yest's dinner was good too, not becoz of the food. But rahter, it's that there's people who understand how I feel now. Heez~~

Today I attended the 3hrs aerobic challenge with Ah Bao & Ping. It's fun but I think the haze just spoilt everything. Sigh...this year's challenge was not as fun as last year's thou but the goodie bag was very good (Ok, I know I'm cheapo... :( ) Fun time jumping, dancing, kicking. Lately I've been having this urge to dance leh. Haha... ANYONE?? Went to shop for Sze's present after that. Haha... got her something nice & interesting. Guess she'll like it. Hhaa... Still thinking what surprises we should give her on her b'dae. haha... *cheeky smile* It's always so nice organising b'dae celebrations for my good friends and giving them surprises. Haha... seeing that they are happy makes me happy too =)

Sigh...my headache still not gone yet, time for bed & hope it gets better tmr! =p

Another sad day?

Seems like I've been posting quite alot of sad, depressed blogs lately. Hmm...my life like quite negative recently, with so many problems arising in both work & personal. Haha...but no worries, friends. I'm coping well with the problems. Every problem is definitely a challenge for me but I've learnt to better cope with it each time. Also, it's such a big achievement when they get solved! Hahaa

Sorry to have caused some of you to worry for me yest when I kinda went MIA. Well, not really MIA thou, had a really bad & busy day yest, needed some time alone to think over some stuff. Was very tired too & in the end slept with my facial mask on my face! Wahaha...

Oh well, today's a mix of happy & sad things. Happy that 2 of the problems at work got solved and at last I'm seeing the results I wanted for my project. Hooray!!! Really happy, managed to get what I need in the nick of time (my deadline is tomorrow!!!). The NMR problem which scared everyone off was resolved as well. Heez...

Today I've also gone for my final lesson with Ryan. Dunno if I was too harsh on Tue to scold him and to come up with the decision to call it quit. Sigh...Today he seemed more focused on his studies, at least most of the questions I gave him he was able to solve quite well. In fact, I got a strong feeling that he'll pass his chemistry this time round. Hope he doesn't disappoint me. =) Was feeling abit sad at the end of the lesson. Haiz.. such mixed feelings. He always made me so angry & I always wanted to give up on him. Now that I'm the 1 calling it quit, but I felt quite sad and really can't quite bear to end the tuition. Afterall, I've been tutoring him for the past 2 years already, quite sad to part leh. =(

Haiz, I thought that I've already make things clear and more or less got them to understand and accept my ideas but then...Sigh...After living together for so many years, I feel that I'm still not being understood. So sad... To them I'm just a selfish person, who place my priorities above theirs. But I'm just being realistic and think in long term. I really dun want what happened 10 years back to happen again. Am I wrong to do so? Maybe.

Sigh.. So what if I'm a degree holder? Does my $$ just fall from the sky? Does it mean that I'm working less hard yet will get more $$ compared to others? I never said that I dun want to contribute, I just wish to seek for greater transparency and definitely a good discussion within the family before any decisions are being made. Yah, maybe I worry too much, things might not turn out as what I've thought afterall. Yesh, STAY POSITIVE!!! =)

I hate it!

Sometimes I really hate being an adult! Though I still feel like a kid deep inside me, I think the environment has made me "so adult" that many of my peers even commented that I'm quite mature for my age. Hmm... so is it a good or a bad thing?

Sigh...today's a bad day. Be it at work, tuition or at home. Work-wise, I'm still stuck with the same old cycle, but this will probably end next week. This means that I'll start on my new project next week, I HOPE!!! Don't know if I should feel happy or otherwise, coz it seems like my present project is a gone case already. Sigh.. Yah, all down the drain, so sad leh =( Anyway, I do look forward to the new project, with simplier chemistry (hopefully!!).

Today I really got so pissed with my tutee. Well, partly becoz of him attitude and partly becoz of some personal reasons. Well, received an unpleasant call just before the tuition & I kept thinking about the problem during the tuition lesson. At the same time my tutee triggered me, and I started lecturing him again. Sigh...I hate to do this, but I really cannot stand his attitude towards his studies when his Chemistry paper is on Friday. To this point, I really give up on him and requested to speak to his parents. Yah, after some 2+ years tutoring him, I've decided to call it quit. For his sake as well as for mine. I see no point in continuing with the tuition, it's a total waste of both of time and his parents $$. In fact, I almost wanted to scold his parents you know? I feel that his parents have somehow neglected him, which resulted in the way he is now. But I held myself back, coz I know that I was in no position to lecture them. All I did was to let them know their boy's problems and I left the rest to them.

Hmm...sigh, got some personal problems to settle. Really angry & also disappointed with what happened. Felt abit lost at this point. Sigh... No idea why things turned out this way. Just hope the problems will be resolved soon. =)

Busy Busy BUSY!

Last week was a busy week, & this week going to be one as well. When will my project come to an end?? It's still a BIG QUESTION MARK! I know that it gonna be soon, but just how soon will it be? Sigh... just feel that it's a waste of time & resources to drag it any further, yet bossy refuses to give up. Well, I can't bear to give up too, coz it means all my effort for the past few months will go down the drain. However, I don't quite agree with the way he handles the whole situation so far. Sigh... But what to do?

Well, abit regretted that I didn't go back to office last sat, some stuff happened today which was not so pleasant. Sigh.. but anyway, will still try to get things going & done before bossy returns. Wish me luck! =)

Ok, enough about work. Last weekend was a busy but rewarding weekend. Haha...Fri nite was again my fortnightly gym session, followed by a "treat" to watch "Johnny Tucker" (U got the tix for free still claim that you r treating me? *bleah* Wahaha). A funny show though, haha.. Sat was a planned day yet everything turned out so unplanned! Haha.. all my planned activities had somehow been canceled & in the end I splurged on an IPOD!!! Wahaha...all thanks to you. I only pyscho you to get 3 CDs but you psycho me to buy an ipod. *sob* Anyway, I've been wanting to buy, just hesitating. Haha...anyway, thanks for your advice & help in picking the stuff. I'm a gadget idiot lor. Haha.. But you seemed more excited than I do when i buy the ipod leh... Yah, coz it's my $$ not yours, rite? Haha... Quite happy to have gotten it, though now my pocket has a big hole now**. Ok, less shopping & going out on wkends! Hahah... =)


** Some clarification here. I'm not blaming YOU for the purchase, really. I wanna buy it lah, jz couldn't quite make up my mind. Haha... My pocket's hole can be stitched back, hopefully soon! Ahaha...Really appreciate your help in helping me decide on which ipod to get as well as checking the purchase for me. I can be quite blur 1 lor...Haha A BIG THANK YOU TO U! Hmm...as for your 80GB ipod, well, will do if you carry a pink handbag for me from now on til... ... HAHA =)


Sun & this evening was busy shopping & shopping & spent $161.80! Well, not my $$ thou, I'm just helping Ade to spend. Haha... Well, what you've spent is still peanuts compared to mine, rite? Haha... it's fun seeing her trying out the evening dress, so much so that I was so bo liao to try out a piece too. Quite like it, but no use for me at the moment. Haha... probably when one of you gals get married, let me be your bridemaid then I can wear that lar. Heez..

Tired..tmr gonna be a LONG LONG day.... =(
