  • Haul!

    http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11">

    It’s been a whole while!

    Longest time and not on hiatus definitely.

    Shitload thing happen in the company today. It's not that I cannot handle this little issue,
    but this particular person has been bossing around. She tried to use her authority to speak to me; I understand this (since she is in the managerial side). I respected that. But speaking to me in a sense like I owe her something is not forgivable, at least to me. Speaking at a harsh tone to me in front of some colleagues when I am not even in her department, so she better quit bossing around. I dun really believe 100% that she's that bad when she came back into this company again, but I’m seeing more things which are so true, as described by my colleagues. I would say she is lucky I still respect her as a manager, and thank her to let me see her truest colors and be smarter in future. Haa!

     

     

    Anyway forgone the worries and looking forward to work smarter next time!


    Many updates.

    Boiler 2 weeks ago with the EP SIM mates.

    Fun night we had!


     


     


     

    Met this Sweetie Pie there as I know almost every weekend she's there! =p



    The next day was community service with the New Hope.

    A group was tasked to bring the kids to the movies, and another to bring package goodies which we have prepared in advanced to the homes of these families.

    I was in the group bringing the kids to the movies and they were all lovable!

    Had the great time with them!


    Finally after the longest time, met Sharon recently. We have been saying for ages to meet but yet..

    And of all places, we decided to head to Butter last Fri (also after finally trying to match our schedule!), together with her Friend Yi Xuan


     


     

    Love this pic to the core


     


    Ends the night short as baby came over from Zirca after attending a function. =)


    Sat 10.10.09 was 2 years for us!

    Despite that, he had to work, so I did shopping with Sharon.

    Replenished myself with Shu Uemera's mascara, and bought my mum Coach mini Pouch as her Bday present.

    Thank Sharon for sharing the discount with me! =)


    Night was Kepple Bay TCC with baby, romancing the night.

    Not romantic with the family beside our table, the father kept snapping with the DSLR.

    It was so bright that it nearly blinded both of us.

    Gosh, does he really need to snap 5 times with the same pose by the person posing for the camera.

    *rolls eyes*



      




     


     


     


     

    Happy 2 years Baby!

    Loves youuu!



    Goodness that I am to be in one of the committee for our co's year end xmas party!

    Sounds fun and we have something in mind, but tiring coz it's gonna be our peak period soon.

    So contradicting, but we have a good team! =)


    Will try to keep things more posted.

    Honestly, tired each time I so wanna blog!

  • ".... That tonight's gonna be a good night ... That tonight's gonna be a good good night ...."



    Sweet Girlfriend who bought her Boyfriend Starbucks blended coffee today, and it's the second time she did it!
    I did not promote myself, did I? Haha

    4th September


    I don't want to waste such money but when you're feeling stress, you just can't help it!


     
    With Baby's 2nd sis.
     

    His 2nd sis and husband.
    (I wouldn't dare call her "Er Jie" coz she makes fun of me about what my manager has said. Long story to this!)


    Maybe a drunkard and a half drunkard Scenario? 


    The music totally rocks the night!


    Trust me you will definitely love it when you're there.
    The drives of the music could keep you busy all night!


    Sharon (poly schoolmate) apparently asked me join her tonight at butter, tempted, but I have to wake up 6.30am tomorrow! Wouldn't wanna take any chances of being late! Maybe next time girl, plenty of chances we have!


    5th September

    Dinner @ Swensons with the polymates, there after KTV at Chinatown.
    I totally nearly lost my voice (after the 2 days MC last week) and yet I was stubbornly hogging on the mic.
    I think I did a great job screeching, I suppose?!

    Mind me as I stole the pictures from Annika =x









    Who does this bowl belongs to?
    - ANS: ALVIN NG -

     

    Now you know how much the guys miss you Alvin!
     

     






    I love the fun and jokes with them!

    I think I look dead tired like a hangover.


    There after headed to Rasa Sentosa to find Baby and his family.




    The next day was a short day with parts of Wasabi at Sentosa as well!

    6th September

    Drizzle when I woke up! Frantic that how we're gonna meet and gave a call to Feline as I'm waiting for them to arrive. Yet still stayed in Sentosa and found a sheltered place, and they started with Volleyball.























    Prepare for the fastest snaps!












    See me not as I was the photographer.
    Relunctant to join because I hurt my back and have yet to recover for a month!


    Recommended my colleague the Foot Glide and they bought to try it, becoz I was raving about it, and we're crazy for heels! Trust it works well! The next I tried was also good. From scroll, and it's washable. I'm sure girls would understand how the shoe paddings get dirty easily!


    Washed and cleaned. Good as new and reuseable!


    I guess have yet to shared Baby's new home with his family.

     


    Dining lights. Possibility of having a romantic dinner - 0%
    How to when his family is around!




    Trust me, this cost at least more than SGD 1K! I think it's a gift from their contractor who did their house.
    Product from Air, and some of their products are cool.



    Did I say The Proposal was a fantastic movie?!
    Not talking about spending just 5 bucks for the tix, even 10 bucks is worth it! =)






    My mum and colleague reckoned I lost weight with the Sunken look, but I still feel myself as heavy though!



    I'm meeting the ex-Sony/Samsung girls tomorrow!!!!



    Baby's Love!

    Love you every second, miss you everyday

    Long (Dragon) Fei (fly) on 29th Aug
    How do I get the above name, thanks to my boyfriend!
    Makes myself and Charmaine ponder what it meant, and only his friends know what is he talking about!
    We're definitely not in synergy.

    Edited some pictures using Baby's Macbook, with some blurry effects at the corners.


    We're identified. Like I tagged in facebook!






    He hates my phone camera flash!








    Yes, I know they gone through thick and thin!

  • Misc thoughts!

    Wonder what makes me busy despite the less peak period at the time of the year for work!

    I was being the question why am I taking on to do Business Development (BD) when I am only paid as a surveyor. My Manager fought so hard for me to take on the challenge. With willingness to challenge myself,  that no one dare bullies me in future if I happen to switch jobs. Even though just being a surveyor already, many goods or mistakes came across, clients who are extremly impressed, or extremely disappointed in me, I have to always braise myself to accept them., humbly and willingly. That's the nature of my job. Clients may start blaming you and be sarcastic with you either over the phone or worst, in front of you. Thanks to my managers who are so encouraging and taught me alot to overcome those uncertain factors.
    I was really upset when I heard that one of their corporate client was very upset with me because of some mistakes which came across the line of job (handled by different people). Without blaming as we share the burden, trying all means to salvage the matter even within my reach, but still, people will only remember the mistakes you make, not the GOOD which you helped saved the situation. When shit happens, and a heavy sack on my shoulders, many times I refrained myself from breaking down in front of my colleagues because I always believed in doing better and learning from mistakes even though is not entirely my fault (I rem breaking down in front of mysilly boy only once or twice,with the humongous amount of ppl who blamed you for no reason). Because of all these faced, because of the doubts ppl have in me, I dared myself to take on the BD position, which is a huge take-on. Meet bigger clients who would give you more jobs.

    Now, you all gonna see white hair sprouting!


    Brighter side, keeps me in detail to update foremost the dates I had with ma girlfriends.

    Earliest was the relaxing with the Entrepreneurial classmate at City Space, floating space up at Stamford Swissotel at the 70th Level.

    The view was breath taking but not as much as I expect to be.
    Unfortunately, Singapore CBD hasn't shown much light in the recent years.
    Probably each and every is trying to cut down on bills ya?

     



     


    All had the same drink as alcoholic contents are out as we're driving that night.
    We're too engrossed in our conversation that we're lazy to think,
    so all the same contents of mocktail!!

    The environment was fantastic with the soothing jazz,
    and even have the chance to be able to hear each other share our conversation!
    Am sure to bring the boyfriend over for once!


    Then one weird weekday evening sudden crave to meet ann, yet decided not to,
    and yet decided to meet her.
    She nearly smack me out of my indecisiveness.
    Hahah!

    She brought me to central orchard i-can't-rem-the-name-of-the-food-restaurant to try food,
    which not too bad to be rated!




     
    Taken with her Samsung Jet!
    Sooo much better than my Nokia phone cam lor!


    The char-bo had the fetish to buy something for herself to "destress maybe".
    We walked all rds in Orchard to check out our wants and went home empty handed.
    Surprisingly!






    Boy, I think I have put on some hefty kilos.
    You could pinch my cheek for that!
    Arghh!


    I have the crave for KTV!
    How soon?!

  • Surprise Surprise!

    The longest time I've updated! Moreover it's early in the morning, with a gonna-be-packed mrt at the next stop (Jurong East station). With a lucky corner seat I have got, updating this entry with nothing but nonsense!

    What have you got over the weekends!
    With the usual Mahjong thing, which 2 weeks ago have lost 110 bucks in a game, and recuperated with 300 plus in a game! Spells sweatness..

    Caught UP, and its one hilarious show!


    Ending abruptly, have a great Monday!

  • Let's See

    See who's back in this style again!













    I do miss it and I made my own wish come through after months of complains about my hair.
    Not chop too short, just 3 inches or more at the back!


    Hmmm, compared to 2 years ago.
    I felt I have aged. Timely!


    This morning was a lazy Monday, woke up late, hailed a cab.
    Hailed the first blue cab with the Nets system not working.
    Hailed the 2nd cab which only can pay by cash, Ezlink, or Visa.
    Without thinking, I just hopped on before I am late!

    Reached 5 mins earlier my work place lobby, but eventually reach about nearly 10 mins late in the office!
    The uncle was figuring how to use the VISA MACHINE!!
    Twice, times he pressed the wrong key or wonder if the font color doesn't go well with the background.
    Am usually a patient person with this, but already 15 mins in the cab fuguring how to use,
    in the end I was kinda pissed off that I told him I will do it for him.
    WOW, just one try I'm done!
    I can't soley blame the uncle coz the system is thru a handphone,
    which I think it's a big time hassle.
    Could the taxi company DO something about it for the convenience of the drivers.
    Imagine those uncles who can barely read english (maybe there's chinese languages).
    I won't let that spoil my day, with my new hair style! Haha!!

    Complained to the Baby but he, sms-ed me with a surprise this morning..

    Him: Let me tell you something that will brighten your day/week/month.
    Me: Hee, what thing? (As usual trying to act a bit cuter)
    Him: This weekend we go (CENSORED) then we go (CENSORED) then you can go and CHOOSE THE (CENSORED)(CENSORED)(CENSORED) that you like!!

    ............

    About 15 mins later

    ............

    Him: Wahhh you no feeling one, not excited.
    Me (Walk back to her desk and saw the sms): SERIOUS!! ............. Blahh blahh blahh.

    I was talking to one of the managers you see?
    And I never know this early morning could perk me up on a sleepy Monday!

    Of course it lightens up my days and weeks, practically can't wait fer weekends!
    Silly boy!

    -Pardon our 'english'. We speak like buddies!-



    Treat my Dad Zhou's Kitchen buffet last Sat as it's was his birthday, shared by Baby and myself, but my Mum offered to chip in.
    Think we have no idea what to give him, so food is the best!
    Then Mustafa in the wee hours with Baby, and laze with nothing and mahjong on Sunday.
    We're suppose to do something I think but in the end...... Lazy bums!!



    I suppose all out there had a great weekend?
    =)

  • LifeAintMundane

    There is always many things to learn.
    I used to believe in the velocity of knowledge, the faster you catch, the better you get the hang of things.
    But then, I realise a perspective of what I used to think didn't allow me to enjoy more of what there is outside.
    Many years rushing on things here and there, now taking a slow pace has let me breathless.
    Once I slowed down my pace, there are many things I could have missed out.
    Life is NEVER simple.
    It's is not the everyday luxury you will gain, like gentle river flowing down the rocks of life.

    Despite, my weekdays are still in a turn of rushing up and down.
    There left my weekends to enjoy like nibbling every single bits of sweet chocolates.
    I need my holiday, again...

    But always motivated by managing to hit my target for this month!
    More incentive rolling in next month! =D





    If you have ever seen this car around in Singapore, do give a big wave and get me acknowledge the wave.
    Unless you see me talking to myself without the hands free, then better not before you got me embarrassed! (Which means I'm singing in the car!).
    Something which bounces me off my seat in the office, and carried me to the expressways in Singapore.


    And I happen to have my fave lot (Lot Number 8)!
    Unfortunately can't drive this mini thingy home as this is practically a shared coy vehicle.



    Digressing again,
    Apparently many knows my boyfriend shifted house, and now this is what we will see outside his room.



    ..... 

    How convenient! He could just stretch himself out to just golf away!



    My leave has been approved for next month, to attend my very own convocation!
    Can't wait to meet my comrades with "MAB" once again, reminisce on how we used to encourage each other.
    Didn't wanna remember us of the hard exams time, but come to think, kinda miss it big time!

    Those studying SIM, please come see US on 28th Aug ya?
    We need a handful of photographers around! 


    Hope y'all had a Happy weekend!

  • I got a Letter

    I had a letter from HR today..


    And signed the bond as well!
    Bonded to this company for a year, but well,
    I don't mind! It's not signing my life away as long as goodwill comes.
    After 3 months in this company, speaks happiness, although times are hard, and stressful.
    Had been through the worst, or maybe not yet the WORST.

    Back to the letter, inside the letter spells my I-N-C-R-E-M-E-N-T!
    My manager told me in advanced that she will be fighting for the increment as she thought I deserve it,
    and indeed it was approved!
    I have no idea how can I thank my manager so much, that she looks upon me, and groom me to be someone.
    I am consider lucky to have a direct superior like her! =)
    This meant I have to work EXTRA hard to prove my worth,
    you know, increase meant no slack, and work doubly hard.
    KPIs are my best friend for now.

    Best of all after receiving the confirmation letter, I am able to have my alternate Saturday off!
    Duper happy coz I really need rest, at least it perks my morale a little.

    Shared the happiness with Baby, who's in camp!
    His reply was just "eee"!
    He loves to tease me, and I miss him!

    Nothing to say but, !!

  • Life not easy without you


    When times that we miss each other, we appreciate.
    When times we had bad arguments, we ignore to treasure.
    When times are lonely, life is not easy without you.





    It's only nearly 24/7, and you keep had me missing you.
    Faster finish your 5 days reservist okay Baby, and can't wait to give you the tightest hug!

    (I got the scariest picture for you above!)


    2 hectic weeks,
    screwed up at work,
    screwed up with health,
    screwed up at nothing.
    But in return, there are times which ppl shows appreciation,
    which really perks up the cloudy weeks,
    with fun colleagues who made "tension" and "stress" become more of "naughty" and "cheeky"!
    I can't help but keep chatting with my "condominium" neighbour!
    (Since in this industry, we name our office space condominium)


    What's weekend?
    Comes next entry.
    Need to crash!
