Clubbing Nite!

Yesterday morning's sun was strong! So glad that I was on leave and so I managed to swim on a weekday morning. So happy and felt really satisfied after the swim. Yah, thou I gotta admit that I'm a lousy swimmer, I really enjoy soaking in water. Heez~~

Activities for the day were already planned. I've already made an appointment to do my hair before meeting PW group & some of my colls & frds @ 'Clinic'. But in the end when I got to the salon, I sat down for less than 5 mins and walked out of the salon. Haha~~ Yah, due to some promotions the shop has which will only commence in April, I was advised to go back in April (which is just like 1-2 days later). That left me with 4hrs of rotting time. Sigh... But I decided to do some window-shopping and keep a lookout for my frd's bday present as well to spend my 4hrs. Heez~~ Didn't buy anything, but sort of found the present for my frd. Haha!!

In the evening, managed to meet up some of them for a quick dinner 1st before proceeding to 'Clinic' to meet the rest. Well, it's 'Clinic' is a bar not one that you go & see doctor, ok? Haha!! Although you can still find doctors and nurses there, but the doctors there are quack doctors lo. Heez~~ On the overall, it looks like an interesting place on the outside, but in fact nothing much in there. But of course they have special drinks there which looked quite interesting (in drips & syringes!) though we didn't get the chance to try. Wow, can't believe that it's such a small world! LN actually knows Glad & her gang of frds!! Haha~~ Complicated network of frds!! We had a fun time at 'Clinic' playing some games before proceeding to MOS. Well, over at MOS... hmm...a little boring. Still prefer Zouk Mambo afterall. Haha~~ After that went for supper with some of them before procceding home at ard 4am. Oopz... I was being locked out of the house! After much phone-calling & banging on the door, I managed to wake my sis up. Haha!! Otherwise I gotta sleep outside my house already.

So tired!! But I'm heading for gym soon!!! :)

Mid-Week!

Yeah! Tmr is the last working day of the week! Heez~~ Cos Fri will be on leave again. Well, gotta clear my leave by end of April. Still got 4 more days to clear. But I've already thought of how I'm gonna clear them. Haha!!

It's been a relaxed week @ work as bossy has just left for Bali without leaving much work for me to do! Haha~~ Think he's already in R&R mood already so can't be bothered with me lately. RH not ard to talk to me in lab coz she's on honeymoon, bossy's not giving me work to do. So bored!!!

Anyway, went out with Glad, Jo & LPP after work yesterday. A pretty last min decision coz my tuition was cancelled at the last min again. Haiz... Always like that! Anyway, so the 4 of us went to collect the farewell present for SR before going to Orchard to get some gift vouchers for her as well. Tmr's her last day, wish her well. :) Dinner was at 'Sun & Moon Jap Restaurant'. Food was a little pricey but pretty good. Thou what I've ordered wasn't really that filling. Heez~~ Had a great time gossiping & planning for more activities together. Yah, all Glad's ideas! Haha

Today's tuition was cancelled as well, so hit for the gym alone. Hmm...was kinda of cheated coz I went into the Step II class instead of the Step/Hi-Lo class. The steps are so confusing!!! U know, I've actually attended 2 Step class before and for both, I surrendered in <10mins after the class commenced. But this time round, I persevere & stayed till the end. Thou most of the time during the class I was lost and just stood there. Haha~~ But it's a fun class!! Heez~~

Yeah! Parents & bro are back from M'sia! This ends my maid's life, I HOPE!! Haha!!

A EAT-ALOT Wkend!

It's time for my weekly updates again! Now my muscles are aching. Exercise for 4 consecutive days this week! Thu was combat class, Fri was pump & combat, sat was combat again (3 consecutive days of it!) and today went blading and jogging. A crazily exercising week but I simply love it! Haha!!

Think I've been on a binge for these few days. Really ate alot leh. Getting scary...how come I'm eating so much huh? Isit becoz of the amount of exercise I've been doing? Hmm... But still, I felt very satisfied to be able to eay my favourite bbq fish after my Nike plus experience just now. Haha~~ I've been craving for it since a few days back. Heez~~

By the way, yah, did the Nike plus experience with LLT just now. It's about a newly launched product by Apple, where all you have to do is to attach a sensor to the Nike runnig shoes, and by having a receiver attached to your ipod nano, the sensor can communicate with your ipod. It can then tell you how far you've run, how much calories you've burnt, etc. So interesting, rite? I quite like the running shoes. Very light & comfortable! But it costs some $180 lo. Sigh... After the jog, we were made to do some interview. Again, I was tongue-tied. Dunno what to say but luckily got LLT. Haha!!

Such a tiring day...coz b4 my jog I met up with Glad, Jo, LPP & a whole bunch of their frds for blading! Haha~~ So nice, it was a fun & enjoyable session!

Tmr back to work. A 4-day wk! Haha~~

Hmm....So what Am I good at?

Today I've attended an opening talk as well as a lab tour at our rival company, which is also my attachment company. Haha~~ Well, part of the talk was good and their lab was a very well-planned one. Truly impressed by how well-organised their lab facilities are! After that had some discussions with my colls. So if given a choice now, would they want to stay in our present company or to job hop to our rival company? Hmmm.. Indeed, our rival company being the top-ranked pharmaceutical company, it's definitely an attraction to many. But many of us would choose to stay in our present company even though in terms of company benefits & $$, it'll be incomparable to theirs. There's alot more factors which will outweigh the $$ & benefits factors. Hmm... What I've always like about my co is that it's not a commercial lab and the environment her is very conducive for learning. Yes, I always feel so proud that my co's mission is to find medical treatment for the developing countries. Such a novel thing to do, rite? Haha~~ Furthermore, like what I've always said, I have a great bunch of crazy colls! Yah, dunno why, everyone's getting crazier & crazier lately. Haha~~ But we really have lots of fun.

So sometimes, I feel like having a job change, yet I really can't bear to leave my present co. Haha~~

I've always been thinking. So what am I good in? In which field can I excel? I know that in R&D, it's gonna be tough to excel if I just stay on with a degree, I'll wash testtubes for the rest of my life probably. If I go into manufacturing, given my character,I'll probably just die there becoz I know how political it can be. What am I good at? What can I do? Where can I go? Sigh... I need to know myself better, know my strengths (do I have any?), know what I want before I can move any further.

I'm sunburnt & aching all over my body....

Another weekend comes & goes again! But tmr I'll be on leave. Hooray!! Well, I'm still left with 6 days of leave to be cleared by end of next month. So decided to take a break tmr & accompany my mama to shopping. Haha!! Haven brought her out for quite some time already, felt quite bad about it, so time to make up for it! =)

Hmm... have been quite tired & ermm lazy as well to update my blog more often. Haha!! So will be giving a weekly update instead. Heez~~

Tuition was cancelled on Tuesday again! Sigh...sometimes really get quite pissed off about it. Haiz...anyway, in the end I met up with Qing & WPC for dinner @ Orchard. It was raining heavily then & by the time I reached Food Republic, I was half drenched and my jeans weighed tonnes. Sickening...as everywhere was flooded. I think the funny part about the meetup was that someone whom I just met said that I'm cute. Ahaha!! Why am I always associated with the word cute? Hmm...I'm cute meh? I don't think so leh. Even someone burst out into laughter when I said people said I'm cute. Haiz... Why not use the word pretty instead? Wahaha PLS DO NOT PUKE! JUST KIDDING! Haha~~

Decided to skip gym on Friday and in the end accompanied LLT to blood bank for blood donation after which we went to Maxwell market for dinner. Then LLT went crazy over his CD shopping. OMG!!! Yah, CDs & movies are so important to him leh. And lately, concerts as well. Aiyo... Haha!! Immediately after I've reached home, got a call from GY, as she was somewhere near my home. So we met up for supper & chit-chat session. Heez~~ Had a great time talking! Hope you'll get the job soon. Then I'll fly over to US to visit u, ok? Heez~~

Saturday got up early, met up with LLT & friends at Punggol Marina for wakeboarding. I'm now sunburnt & aching all over my body. But it was a fun afternoon! At least I managed to stand up for a while on the wakeboard. LLT, u gotta try harder next time, ok? Haha~~ After a tiring afternoon under the sun, we rewarded ourselves by eating at the seafood restaurant there. Food was good, big crab! Haha~~ But my nose was useless, it's been runny for the whole of yesterday. Sigh... After that, went to play with Oscar for a while before going to catch the movie 'Music & Lyrics'. A movie with nice & simple story! Hugh Grant is great too. =)

Didn't do much today except for catching Disney on Ice at SIS. This year's theme is 'Finding Nemo'. Haha~~ This is one of my favourite Disney cartoon. It was a great performance. Really impressed by their ice skating skills, so cool! After that was home sweet home....

Coming week only gotta work for 4 days. Haha!!

A Happy Weekend!

Oopz! This week is a week which I've burnt a big hole in my pocket coz I've just bought a laptop on Thu. Haha~~ The purchase was easily decided in like 15mins? Impulsive? Ermm...not exactly. Coz I've already eyed on that laptop earlier. Haha~~ But it's just that me being a com idiot need some help & advise. Thanks to LLT for your help! At the end of the day, we bagged home 1 box holding the laptop & a few other big bags full with the freebies. Haha~~ Gotta thank my Titoudao for carrying the stuff for me. =)
Have been quite busy and tired for the last few days to play with my "new toy". Haha~~ Hope to get all softwares and stuff settled soon!

Managed to catch 2 movies this week. One of them is a free movie treat again. Heez~~ This time round I watched 'I'm a Cyborg, but it's ok' with WS. Quite a lame show thou. Maybe it bcoz I'm not a fan of Rain? Haha~~ Also managed to watch 'The Pursuit of Happyness' on Fri nite. It's a meaningful show. So how will you define happiness? Hmm... Earning lots of $$ yet it's a job you don't like? On a job you like & feel satisfied with but it pays u miserably? Sigh...being in a realistic society, I suppose most people's equation for happiness is Money + Material satisfaction = Happiness. That's quite saddening, but then it's the truth, isn't it?

Well, I'm quite happy that my weekends have always been well-spent with family and friends. It always gives me the motivation to get back to work on Monday and of course I'll look forward to the next weekend. Heez~~

Yesterday I've met up with Noorul in the morning to do chemistry. It's great to see that u like the subject so much. Heez~~ But then, don't neglect the other subjects as well, especially your maths & english, ok? After that met up with LLT for our usual Combat class. It's a fun class, especially the part where we have to run in circles. Heez~~ Can feel that my right leg is recuperating well, except for a little pain once in a while. Managed to meet up with Rain finally. Haha~~ Had a good dinner at Soup Restaurant and it so happened that LLT & frds came to the same restaurant as well! LLT power huh? Haha~~ Rain & I couldn't decide which show to watch after dinner, so eventually we ended up chit chatting at Starbucks. Haha~~ Nice catchup with interesting topics to talk about. Haha~~

I've bladed today! So happy!! Coz I've not bladed for >3mths already. Really miss it! Hmm...well, what I like about blading is the ability to go at high speeds and you can feel the wind hitting your face. On top of that you get to see the nice calm sea, feel the sunshine and see groups of people so involved in their activities, be it cycling, blading, picnicking at ECP. How I wish I stay somewhere near ECP. Haha~~

Yes, now the sun is back! Time to hit for outdoor activities again!! =)

It's March!

Another week came & is now gone again! Time really passes so fast, it's now the start of the 3rd month of year 2007 already! But it seems like I've yet to achieve much for the past 2 months. Anyway, work-wise I should be rounding things up for my current project withi this week, which means that I can start on something new & hopefully more interesting and challenging real soon. Looking forward to that!

Another coll has just tendered her resignation. Hmmm...it makes me start to ask myself what I want again. Am I going to continue in this field or should I switch to something else? Or I should further my studies. So what do I want? Well, yah, these questions have been popping up in my brain every now & then but till now I still don't have a definite answer to them. Sigh... Yah yah, I always tell myself that I should stop procrastinating & start have good thoughts about them. Of course gotta be more pro-active in getting things moving! =)

Hmm...dunno if it's becoz of my current project or having stayed in R&D for 2.5 years already, I start to feel abit sian over my job. Or am I just short a good break to get recharged again? hmm... I need a change to break the routine!

Weekly Updates...

It's been another busy week that I'm so short of sleep. But I've just taken a good time a few hours back, so time to blog! Haha =p

This week I only did 1 gym session on sat. Sigh... Skipped Mon's class to visit Glady at the hospital. Poor gal! Kept puking and was hospitalised. Glad that she looks well and infact very talkative during the visit. Hha~~ Hope that she recovers real soon! Work's so boring without her, coz there's no one for me to suan already! Haha~~ I missed Thur's class as well due to OT! Yah, rushing some compound like mad for the last few days, don't even have time for lunch. Got a little pissed off with SH as well. Sigh... Anyway, don't wish to mention about it again. In the end, met up with LLT to watch the crappy movie, 'Norbit', since both of us missed gym & were pissed off with work. Well, actually I'm less pissed off lah. LLT so pissed that he needs his "happy food" but which in the end didn't make him happy. Hhaa~~ So what does it show? U should change your definition/classification of "happy food", ok?

Fri went for a movie marathon. Yah, "forced" to watch 'Dreamgals' again, followed by 'Notes on the Scandal'. Haha~~ well, 'Dreamgals' is a nice show which I didn't regret re-watching, of course! But the overall sound effect wasn't as fantastic as the other time when I watched at The Cathay. As usual, I dozed off at times during the shows. Oopz...sorry, not within my control. The theatre was just too conducive for sleeping? Heez~~ Yes, this reminds me that I've won another pair of movie tix for this coming Tue. Looking forward to it! =)

At last managed to go gym on sat. This is my 1st Combat class since 3 weeks ago? At last I'm back to Combat class! So nice to see the familiar faces, the instructress. Heez~~ Of course now I'm more careful so as not to hurt myself again. Evening had a belated Bday celebration for SQ at Happy Pay Steamboat followed by ktv. This celebration was indeed a big group! 8 of us in total. Hhaa~~ Double of our usual group size! It should be a good sign, isn't it? Most of us had fun. Afterall, it's Qing's b'day, gotta give face & not be a spoil-spot, rite? Heez~~ Of course, since it's our dear gal's B'day, as friends we should do our best to make her happy & make it a memorable (in a good sense, of course! heez~~)celebration for her.

Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both SQ & Noorul (both of u are born on the same day)! Hope all your dreams come true!

Today I was basically rotting at home for the entire moring before catch the play 'Titoudao' with LLT. A great show! Very funny, though I didn't understand some of the Teochew spoken but really enjoyed it!

Another week's gone again. Time for bed!! =)
