I'm guilty of not updating my blog as frequent as before.
And since Miss Hong left a request, ahem.. i shall fulfill her request and do an entry.

It's 2010!!!!

I know it's very lag of me to be exclaiming about the new year, but can u believe it??? it's been a decade(why can't we just say 10yrs and have to invent a word specially for it?) since the start of the millenium!!! remember 10yrs ago, I was just a little sec 2 girl, all excited about the Millenium concert at the Indoor stadium. (I can still remember how the Ngee Ann CO instructor was scolding his orchestra... damn throw face cos all the people were watching them..)

And so, with the start of 2010, we began a chain of celebrations...
Firstly, my bdae. *woohoo*
It was spent in a luxurious hotel in Vancouver. Dear booked a suite and there's rooms in the suite!!! There's a living room with a huge flat screen TV with superb sound system n DVD player. Did I mention there's a 3seater and 2 seater sofa too? Then there's the dining area with a nice round table and a few chairs.. when i say a few i mean like 5 or 6... then there's the KITCHEN!!!! YES there's a kitchen!! and there's pretty china wares and glasses in the cupboard for us to use. So cool rite! There's also a fridge in the kitchen for us to store our haagen dazs ice cream. Strawberry cheesecake and Banana split are great flavours!!! too bad we don't see them ard in supermarkets. If u see them, let me know k??
And of cos most imptly, there's a bedroom with a huge bed! U see, a huge bed is really impt to us because Dear likes to snatch the blanket while i like to play a set of taji in my sleep. Hence to minimise injuries and colds, we have been getting either 2 double beds or 1 kind size bed throughout our trip. Forget what others say about sharing a small bed and be cosy or wat. A good night sleep is more impt.
And since it's my bdae, of cos there's more to it... ask me when u see me!

And last week, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary with a simple dinner at Seah Im food centre... a bit disappointed we couldnt have duck porridge cos it's sold out. I think the porridge taste must better than the rice. Nvm dear, we can go back soon!
And we went to the top of vivo and sat there for about 1hr, looking at the progress of IR, talking about work n sch n the couples ard us (some really behave as if there's no one ard) and we concluded the day with shanghai red bean pancake at food republic! We love it!! But I love it first! Then I intro to Dear n now he likes it too =) not forgetting the dao xiao mian which moo moo intro to me.

ok v tired alr.. shall cont another day... gg to finish my 3rd Harry Potter book!

Ok, finally it's out.
I've checked Cathay Pacific Inflight entertainment for the month of Dec and the following are some of the movies which I've shortlisted.
Frankly speaking, I was hoping they will have more interesting new release than these... well...

From SG to HK
1. 500 Days of Summer!
Dear just watched this in Vancouver with his friends and they all like it. So yeah!!! I can watch it on the flight for free!!!

2. On His Majesty's Secret Service (HK Movie)
Some crazy show by Wong Jing..

There's "Hua Bi" too.. see which one I'll be in the mood for then.. there's Pinocchio too, so can watch that too. Or what about "The Time Traveler's Wife"? sounds good too.

But my flight is only 3-4hrs? So I'll most probably need 2 movies...

From HK to Vancouver
1. UP
I wanted to catch this in cinema, so it's a good thing that I didn't..

2. Finding Nemo
I didn't watch this despite channel 5 showing this on tv for qt a few times alr. so it's another good thing again.

3. Julie and Julia
Since it's a comedy, shouldn't be too bad right? But after watching the trailer, maybe I'll put this last..

4. Funny People
Errr... not heard of this movie... but seems funny..

5. Harry Potter and the half blood Prince!
I just finished that book, so I may rewatch this movie!! yeah!!

And there's a few random ones which I may watch if I've run out of things to do... but 5 movies should be more than enough, given that the flight is 12hrs and I still need to sleep to get ready for my new day in Vancouver!!!

Btw, they will be showing 300 too... but it's so gory n sad, I doubt I will even want to come across that channel.. eeks!

Looking for Jan program!! But at least Dear will be by my side then, so if there's nothing good to watch, I will always have him to chat with.

Love Dear..

I miss the days when Dear and I go to the arcade at Suntec (near kbox) and stood there for hours looking at people playing the sweets jackpot machine (the one which u have to scoop up the sweets below so that it will push down the other sweets and get JACKPOT to win the soft toy.)

It's a way to go for cheap dates when u're on a tight budget hehehehe...

Like Dear's MSN nick, one week has gone by just like that....
Not only was Dear sick, it's been a happening week at work too...

My MD has been FIRED!
To put it diplomatically, he's leadership style does not fit our company culture, hence he's asked to leave.

But to me, and to whoever had been asked to leave, there's just no diplomatic way to make this sound better. Asked to leave means fired, and that's it.

A few of us were qt sad, because he has been a leader whom marks his words. When he says he will fix it, he WILL fix. And he's open and friendly and down to earth. No airs around him (e.g. I always wonder what is the colour of the polo tee which he always wears. Is it supposed to be grey? Or was it initially white then he wears n wash n wear n wash till it becomes grey? OR!! Worst still, it was black to begin with, and he washed till it becomes grey??!!?) well, u get what I mean.. he doesn't wear those expensive brand n make u feel that there's a difference between u and him, Although there's a difference between u and him.

And also, most importantly, he's a charming man.

He's the kind of man I had always wanted. Matured, rich, successful in career, can cook (he can cook chilli and black pepper crab! and he cooked a 5 course dinner for his managers.. TWICE!!) and handsome! He's old... abt 50+? But his charm wooOOoo... even a girl like me, who can alr be his daughter, still can fall for him.. hahahaha!

The company has been and still is in a mess.
But we have to live by my ex-MD slogan..
"Can We Fix It?"
"YES WE CAN!"

gosh... no more eye candy...
but at least this new MD is pretty!

Decluttering- to make way for a new start.

Was staring out of the window this afternoon, looking at the rain pouring down.
It feels like back to uni days, when I was busy cramming the content into my brain.
Then when I'm tired to studying, my thoughts will wander~ think about my future, think abt what kind of jobs I would be doing, the kind of guy my bf will be etc...
And today, the same feeling and thoughts struck me.

What lies in the future?
or rather, next yr...

It's time for me to reconsider~

Would u still go to work if your doctor gives u 2 days of mc?

hmm...

Ok I'm gg to give a Social studies kind of answer.

It depends................

....depends on what kind of illness I got. If I've fever/cough/flu and I still go to work, that's irresponsible. If it's stomachache, u probably can't concentrate when u're working and may even commit mistakes in ur work, which is unfavourable. If you have diarrhea, then of course u shouldn't go to work! What if u can't control and poo on ur pants! That's gg to reflect so badly of u, not to mention the *EKKS* smell. So inconsiderate towards to your fellow colleague.

.....depends on the importance/urgency of the job. If my work is really damn impt and without me the whole company can't function. But then again, if my company can do without a MD for 2 months and it was still business as usual, how important can u be, right? Ok maybe ur job is really damn important, like a doctor saving life, fair enough. BUT!!! If u're a doctor and u're sick, all the more u shouldn't be work right!

Moreover, if your doctor gives u 2 days of mc, there must be a reason for that right? I mean, why not 1 day or 3 days? Why 2 days?
From my years of experience with doctors, GP to be exact, I derived the following about the number of days of MC given:

1 day is given to you - Chao4 geng1! But since u're paying for it and u already pon lesson/work, ok la give it to u. But 1 day only!!

3-4 days - you are really seriously very extremely ill. High fever, vomitting, diarrhea...so poor thing~~Take 3 days mc and rest well at home ok. Doubt u can go anywhere anyway.

2 weeks - quickly wear the mask! stay away from children and elderly. Guess what, u have chicken pox!

>2weeks - I will refer you to the hospital. Maybe will not see you again.

So what does 2 days of mc mean??

It means you are sick, but not the super serious kind. All u need is lots of rest and water and u will get well soon in 2 days time.

And yet! My colleague came to work for the past 2 days despite having 2 days MC from the doctor.
Ask him why he came to work and even worked OT, his reply was,
"Hey sis, alot of work to do la!"

Come on la, work impt or ur health impt? If 2 days rest can make u healthy again, what can be more impt than these 2 days?
And because he refuse to stay at home despite repeatedly being issued 2 days MC, he hasn't recovered since 2 weeks ago.
Is it worth it?

Alot of work?
Heck la~

Fann Wong and Christopher got married today!
But the whole wedding seems like a show put up for all of us to see... well, I suppose we don't really mind seeing this kind of show, so sweet n blissful.

Sometimes u think about it, u spent months to prepare for this special day (not to mention the amount of money spent!) and it only last for a day. ok maybe u will argue that the memory will last u for a lifetime, but still.. if only that special day can be long. Which is why I've been harbouring the plan to hold me wedding in 2 seperate days. So I'll have 2 special days instead of just 1! Yeah! But so far, the response I got whenever I mention the idea of having my wedding in 2 days haven't been exactly positive.

They say, "U sure? so weird..."

Hmm, BF, what do u think?

2 days because we dont have to wake up so early, and we can slowly enjoy the day instead of rushing here and there.

2 days because we can spend more time to mingle with our guests instead of just "Hi! Thanks for coming!", "Yum Seng!" and "Thank you for coming (and your ang bao/gifts/well-wishes)"

2 days because Dear will not be too tired and will be able to remember clearly what we did on our wedding. He will not be able to give me the excuse that he was too tired/drunk that day until he can't remember. But I've confidence Dear will not say such thing to me since his memory is generally better than mine. So it's more possible for me to say such thing than him.

AHHH!!! How???

Nvm, still have a few years to think about.

Meanwhile, u guys and girls start saving for ang bao k!

And the long weekend is coming to an end~~
It has been an eventful week with my bro coming back home from camp.
He really stinks when he first came back because he hadn't bathed for 36hrs then.. yucks and he wore the same uniform for 10days!!
But all is well after he bathed and changed into a new set of clothes.

Dear is coming back tonight! Tml morning will be able to talk to him on MSN alr I hope. Really miss talking him, have so much things to tell him.

Anw, I've learned something this weekend

My bro is emo-ing...
And it's been less than a week in the Army...
Aww~~

I feel sad for him.. imagine being ripped off ur freedom (and hair, which is/was super super impt to him), trapped behind the fence and stuck in a grey n gloomy place where they serve yucks food and have officers who treat u like dog/dirt.

It's really sad. Esp the yucky food part.

But lucky lucky him is going to be back this weekend! All thanks to the other *ahem* race who will be celebrating their new year (it's ironic.. really) So this weekend he is gg to turn from a dog to a king and we will all give in to him. Bring him for some big feast and so on..

On the other hand, my dear BF will be away for this long weekend (don't understand why he's always away on my shut down day.. BF! u purposely want to avoid me isit!! haiz...) He's going to the Rockies, a place where I'm v gien to visit too.. Imagine all the years of studying Geog and I havent had a chance to see those mountain!! (Bt Timah not counted.. Genting also not counted. The nearest would be Huang Shan, but that's not fair! I havent even started studying Mountains in Geog yet!)

Acc to my accurate count down, it's 95days to THE day.. haiz.. it's been 17days only leh..another 5.58times of the 17days b4 we can meet again... HAIZ...

On a more positive note, this week has passed rather quickly. Today all the managers and big bosses went away for a off-site meeting, so I spent my whole morning looking for info on the Canada trip. But given my efficiency, I still managed to do 2 campaigns analysis after lunch, which I'm very proud of! And tomorrow we will be joining them for the off-site meeting after lunch (Woohoo!!! I love the lunch served by that hotel CAN!!! it's super nice!) then Friday is the start of my long weekend~

Not exactly looking forward to it.. no Dear, no MJ (maybe can have..hmmm) HAIZ...

Hopefully the long weekend will pass as quickly as these 3 days~~

Positivity- The Way to Go~~

There's always 2 sides to everything.
The positive and the negative.

If we just look at the negative side, we will just sink deeper n deeper into the into self pity and think the whole world owe u something..

Think positive, and u will feel "heng ah.. it could have gotten worst"
I mean even if the situation is very bad, there will still ba an even worst senario?

Example 1. It's raining and u've no umbrella n u're soaked to the skin!
Negative: NB! Why rain when I dont have umbrella??!!!
Positive: Phew~~ at least the lightning didn't strike me.. / at least it's rain.. not snow or ice..


Example 2. You got chicken pox now...
Negative: Wahlau why me?! Why I so suay dio chicken pox?! Who the hell spread to me?
Positive: At least not cancer... I thought is skin cancer.. and I can get 2 weeks of mc.. not bad la...

So think positive.. and you'll go a long way~~

Today is sat!!! Finally a day for me to rest and catch up blog surfing... I havent been updating nor reading others blog for qt a while..

Read a few blogs and realised many changes have taken place...
Some r/s didn't work out... some went for exchange... some mugging till want to drop... some planning for their grad trip...

wooo.. I've missed out on so much...

Somehow, I feel what those blogger feels.. like Royston is on exchange and somehow I can feel his excitment in his entries.. (I hope dear will enjoy his exchange too.. otherwise it's a waste...)

and of cos frens who are not exactly having a smooth ride in their r/s.. I'm glad they are brave enough to let go of the past to embrace the future. I suppose girls in our generation are not so weak afterall.

Although dear has been very good to me...till now, I can almost imagine the feeling of losing someone once so close, and now like a stranger.

Being together is not easy..
it's not easy to find someone you like.
it's not easy either to find someone who likes you.
it's even more difficult to find who likes u and u like him/her.
And when u're together, it's not easy to maintain the relationship.

So in short, if you've found someone you love, congrats!
And if you haven't... it's ok.. being in a relationship isn't as great as u think it is (let me stress that dear has been a great bf and I do love him alot) it can be tiring at times when things don't go as u wish...

and tml.... I shall celebrate the gift of love by my cousin and his wife... woohoo Little Xin Lei!!

Dear Friends... it's been almost 2wks since i last updated.
I've been qt MIA during this period because work is never ending... and of cos spending time with Dear.

First of all, I'm an Auntie! again! Another niece added to the big big family... I'm not sure how we are gg to squeeze into 1 table in future. i doubt we can. but i don't like 2 tables leh..Welcome to Xin Lei!!! Din manage to take photos of her when I went ot hospital to see her when she's just 1 day old. in fact, 14hours old. the baby is so small... so cute! Will take more photos of her on her 1 mth celebration. Her mum bought her a qt expensive dress for her 1st month lor... with legging somemore. hahaha very 'in'!

Today had a review with the Marketing Director. Obviously he's v pleased with my performance (after all the very positive remarks and comments by the managers, of cos he is pleased) and obviously i'm concerned abt my future in this company. From the wya i look at it, i need to dong another 1 yr at least to hope for increment n promotion. 1yr... imagine stuck in this position (and salary) for 1 yr? haiz... don't know what to say...
Dear Friends, if u have any good lobang, don't forget me k! I want consumer marketing job!!!

But then again, 4months into this job, I'm getting comfortable with what i'm doing and also with the environment. yar, there's sucky pple, or what we call 'nonsense', but i suppose there's always some weird pple in every office n company. so yar... i'll live with that. so should i stay or should i venture?

I think i'll stay....for now.
Crazy ah, fresh grad coming out, how i compete? just stay n see see look look ard. take half day every now n then to go for interview.

Ox year not good for Ox, better play it safe.
I need a job to buy flat n get married wor.

Though I'm tired, but I insist that I have to write this entry while I'm still 22.

I seldom celebrate my birthday ever since primary school, except for my 21st (which explains why I had a super big one). But this year Dear dear will be celebrating with me. I'm so happy! (He says I'll be the Queen tml... we shall see)

It has been a wonderful 22th year for me. I've been able to do the things I want to do and buy the things I want to buy (not all but at least I've all the basics) and the person I love. If you ask me to make a wish now, my only wish is to pass my driving (Popi ah!).

And just before I turn 23... I realised something.

每一个人都有他们可以做的事。 若硬要做不可以做的事，不只会事倍功半， 而且也会不开心。
就算拥有荣华富贵，但是不开心，那又有什么意义呢？相反的，若再做自己喜欢做的事，可能也可以获得意想不到的成果也说不定。

I shall be contended with what I have today and work towards what I enjoy doing rather than to do what I think can bring me the material gains.

Happy Birthday to me =)

Happy New Year to all!!

I really want to do my recount on 2008, but haven't been able to find the time. So today I shall force myself to sit down and do a proper recount.

2008 has been a year of changes...

The year started off with a holiday trip to BKK with S01. (Heng we went last year and not this year.) It's our first trip overseas together as a class. We ended the trip with a surprise birthday party for me. Dear dear and his 'gay partner', Kerv, played a big part in planning the surprise =)

Then Ah Boy got married~!

Ah Boy become Ah Man liao ah!!

Next up was to pia FYP.

FYP started off with a mess because nobody has the motivation to so anything. But things got better as we work along. We often meet at either Woodlands Library or JE Library to do the report together. Finally we got it done! But sometimes when I read our report, it's total rubbish la.. Hahaha Heng got Pass ah.

So we sat for our last paper in uni and we finally graduated! After years and years of studies, we finally got the piece of (useless) paper!

Next up was a period with Johnsn & Johnson. I'm really glad that I made the choice to take up this temp job during my exam period. Not only do I get to know more people, gained more experience, I also got myself my current job (not that it's super great, but at least I got a job. Yep)

The stint with JnJ was made even more enjoyable with the company of people like Rachelle. She's so funny and we had lots of fun!

Naturally, I need a perm job and I finally landed myself in this job. I'm beginning to find joy in the job. It's all in the mind. If you think it's interesting, it's good, then it is! (ok, I've to try harder) It's really ok.. just that I hope I can have more freedom and space to do some things and not just listen to other instructions. I believe I have the taste, foresight and attitude to make things work. Yep.

And last but not the least, there's Dear~~

Somtimes when I think back, it's weird that we are together.. I mean 5 years ago, who would have thought that we will be together? It's all fate...

I hope I never missed out some impt events as my memory is failing me (yar la yar la, I turning 23 le la)

With that, I shall embrace 2009 with lots of hope (Hope to change job. Hope to go Canada. Hope to be healthy. Hope to lose a few kilo. Hope to shop shop shop. Hope to.....)

May there be world peace and no retrenchment!

2008 is coming to an end.
This year is especially fast, isn't that so?
And soon.... someone will turn 23 le. OMG! too fast too fast..
(someone turning 33 too le wor....)
Every year end, I'll do a fast recap of what happened during the year, and also the people who made a great difference in my life.
Of cos, u would have expected that He is a majoy turning pt in my life, but that's not all.
Off hand, there's so many names, so many faces running through my mind.
Thinking about it, we went to BKK early this yr n now see what is happening in BKK? (I was checking Facebook just now and 1 of my fren is going to BKK tml! must be super cheap to go there now)

Many things can happen in 1 sec, not to mention 1 yr.
I shall recap abt 2008 and work on the entry, as soon as my company's X'mas party is over..

Btw, side track abit, I dreamt of Andy Lau!!! He was a special guest in one of the talk I went to. He wore a white shirt n black pants n he was singing in the audi and my cousin was using the camera that Sally bought to take a pict of Andy! and Sally's camera is so zai, it can zoom zoom zoom clearly into Andy's face although we were sitting very far away from him. Woohoo!
Andy is coming to see me this wk!
Aren't u jealous!

Today is a I-don't-understand-why-this-happen-to-me Day.

I-don't-understand-why-this-happen-to-me Case 1
I'm in my company's X'mas party planning team. But it's not going to be as easy as one would think. Given the limited budget we have currently, it's not going to be easy.

But i've been trained to work round tight budget, haven't I?

I tried calling a few venues n restaurant to enquire if they do "corporate event". I was going down the list in the magazine when I called this seafood restaurant somewhere in central. A lady picked up the phone n said...

Lady:"Hello! This is XXX Seafood restaurant."
Me:"Hi, can I enquire if your restaurant does coporate event?"
Lady:"Oh yar yar.. We are XXX Seafood restaurant."
Me:"Oh, yar I know that. But I would like to check if you do corporate event?"
Lady:"We are located at blah blah blah.."
Me*impatient alr*:"Yes I know that too. Do u errmmm.. do company party?"
Lady:"Huh? You want coffee?"

*toot toot*

That's it man.. I just hung up the phone..
I don't understand!!!
If this lady on the other side of the phone can't understand English, then why let her answer the phone? Can't you get someone else to answer? Adn if she doesn't understand English, she could have asked me if I can converse in Mandarin?

Diaoz..

Now they have made a potential customer frustrated with them.

I-don't-understand-why-this-happen-to-me Case 2
In any case, if u guys have any great ideas for X'mas do let me know k... Or if you have good lobang for venue n food, let me know too k!!
Thanks in advance.

Btw, I don't understand either why the people in my company are so polite. They always start off their email like this..

"Pls kindly find the xxx file in yy folder"

Isn't 'pls' or 'kindly' enough? Why the need to write "Pls kindly"?

I-don't-understand-why-this-happen-to-me Case 3
Today my contact lens was torn. (Don't ask me how it's torn. I don't understand how it was torn either..)
So I went down to the optical shop in my office building, thinking if I should buy 1 lens or buy the lens casing n solution.
I decided to buy 1 lens as I don't want to be blind the rest of the day. But the lady was kind enough to give it to me free! (Actually they not suppose to sell loose lens either, so yep, they r a good shop n I've feedbacked it to my previous company. Hahaha)
She didn't give me the A***** brand though.
Instead, she gave me the C*** brand.

After wearing it for a few hours, I tot it's not bad.. not as uncomfortable as I tot it would be.
But!!!! when I reached home and want ot remove it, I nearly gouged my eye out.
I just can't remove the lens!!!
I tried all sort of ways n it just would come out.
THEN!!! the lens rolled n went to the back of my eyeball!!!!!
(Technically, the lens can't rolled to the back of the eyeball cos we have veins n skin tissue blocking the way. It will atmost be trapped in the upper or lower lid)
But it's super scary. It's not my first time, so I was very calm. I even wanted to ignore it n go n bathe first, hoping it will come out on its own. But I decided not to... just in case I forgot about it later on.
So I tried all sort of methods again, and finally I got it out.

Hate their lenses. It's not my first time wearing their lens and it's always the same! (last time I wear the monthly one n now is the dallies. But it's the same!!!!!)

I don't understand... the manufacturer nv wear their own contacts ah? they don't know their contacts v difficult to remove ah? Why they didn't do anything to improve their lenses!!!
ARGH no more C*** lenses for me..

I can't understand alot of things, don't I?
Pls kindly bear with this little girl. (Hey I'm a little girl k... at least in my office..)

i've learnt the art of acting busy..
having nothing much to do at work, i can't bear the thot of approaching the manager for work. she can be qt ruthless in giving work to others to do. so i shall be discreet n do my own stuff (reads logging on to sametime, something like a internal msn, to chat with colleague) that's how pple act busy.
office politics finally surfaced today.. though i'm not a victim yet, but i foresee that i could be one of them in the near future.. i must learn the art of protecting myself..
this makes me remember that phang phang once advised us to read romance of the 3 kingdom b4 we start working.. it's time to revise the classic! (Cailing! when we meet up with phang phang! havent seen him for qt some time le...)

the wkend was a v shiok one.

celebrated my 1st halloween on fri (not with HIM though...) at downtown east with a bunch of teenagers who had just finished their exams.. they reminded me that i am old.. cos i find their behaviour v rowdy.
the 'ghosts' were qt scary cos their make up n costumes were really power! so realistic until boy boy v scare when i was made a victim of a dracula.

sat was a sinful day. to celebrate my aunt's bdae, we had buffet, durian cake n late night ktv... He seems to enjoy alot though.. sing until so high. n my niece loves him cos he is like the coin operated horse, put 20cents n the horse will move.. hahaha except that this horse is free...
I really old liao.. last time can stay at ktv till 3am also no prob, but that day i cant even dong till 1am... n i dont really feel the kick of singing alr... that's good news, cos i can save. (but i'm craving for some boardgames...)

sunday took family photo at the studio... i think my parents made the photographer until he wants to give up.. they can't pose as what the photographer wants n they can't smile naturally.. at least that's what the photographer says... well.. let's just wait for the photo n see how it turns out... i hope it's good~~
then evening wanted to give HIM a surprise by waiting for him outside his hse... how would i know, i was given the surprise instead, cos he was alr at bpp waiting for me... argh.. there goes my surprise..but i enjoyed gg shopping with him at ntuc n also the bus ride home..

a short weekend, but a happy one.

and that had caused me to have a not-so-frequently-felt-monday-blues
so i wore bright red today to counter the blues.
it's a purple day! muahaha!

and finally... i've time to write this post.

last fri was my last day in the company.
correction: it was my 2nd last day in the company.

My 1st last day was much quieter as many pple were not in office and somehow it was much easier. Probably cos i only spent 2mths there then.

And now, it's been 6mths....
Time flies, doesn't it?

My 2nd last day was more emotional as I've gone thru so much with the team during this period. The period when I helped my manager to tide over the product launch and roadshows. The lunches I had with my colleague at our fave kopitiam Ah Lim. The lunch break shopping trip with my ex-sales room-neighbour at IMM.
Looking back, we had fun.

Maybe as we grow older, we get used to all these 分分离离 cos the feeling isn't as strong as when I grad from sec sch or jc or even uni.

Still, I'm very gandong by the what my manager did. She wrote a very long message for me on a card, encouraging me not to give up and to keep in touch with her (unlike some others...)
It's a very small gesture, but she was v v busy then, trying to finish off some work, yet she took some time off to write the msg to me.
And she took time to find me on facebook.
I didn't even bothered... opps!

So, a farewell lunch at Aijisen marks a break from this company for the time being.
I'll be back!

And now, I shall take one step at a time to embrace the future.
I hope I'll meet nice people like them at my new office!
Well, should all things fail, I know there's someone whom I can fall on.
Right, bf?

yesterday was the day.
i signed.
felt relieved, yet at the same time felt weird.
but since it has been decided, don't look back.

anw, He surprised me last nite at 11.56pm with a sms.
Yesterday was our 9th mth anniversary!
and guess what...

I forgot!

I guess I was too overwhelmed by the many changes happening ard me recently n also the citibank guy!

Nonetheless, we celebrated this day (without me knowing) at Changi V eating the super super nice hor fun and His fave red tea jelly with longan while i had sea coconut with mango.
YUMMY!
And He tempted me to try the famous nasi lemak at changi V.
Heng I was able to resist the temptation.
We dabao home to eat instead.
2 packets.

Muahahaha!

Not bad la, the rice is v nice! But too bad the trip was too long, so the rice was cold by the time we reached home, so it's not as nice.

oh oh.. and while we were at Tampines Mall, there's this Uncle Lee who stopped us in the crowd just to tell me that He is a very good man.
For 1 sec, I thought he's a fortune telling man.

WRONG!

He's selling wedding package.

Just because He looks abit matured while I was in office clothes and we are holding hands in a shopping centre, it doesn't mean we want to get married lor. (ok we want to get married... but not now la)
That uncle forced us to listen to him (cos he said He is a man with v good manners, so bobian, have to cont to have good manners and listen to that uncle) and led us to see their wedding albums.
Bobian... see lor...
then they ask how old are we.
I tot he will want to lie abt out age, but he told them the truth!
after that, we can see that they are no longer interested in us alr.
So young, won't get married one la.

eeks... not gg to hold hands when there's bridal shops ard next time.

What an enjoyable day~~
=)
