frequency of posts will be lower as things eat up my time here and there, and sometimes I feel too lazy to blog. lol. There were times where I wanted to say sth here, made a mental note to, but when I on my com I alrdy lost all inspiration to write. The feeling's just not there anymore..

So when I was clearing my room and lots of memories were brought back, I told myself I shld blog. I will. And so here I am.. Spring cleaning never fails to make me nostalgic cos of the nick nacks I kept and other little stuff that will remind me of some people or events. Ha. Be it an old comb, a scribbled note etc.

And this time round I threw the whole stack of papers which i didn't last year. The stack of papers and notes from year one. Heck! Those are the rough papers. Sometimes u gotta be a bit hard-hearted when doing things.. if not, I wouldn't be able to see that desk top. Which I haven for quite a while cos of all my stacking =P

A bit lagging in my reading.. Had wanted to do it just nw, but ended up spring cleaning my room. Somehow I feel lazy.. Or maybe is the new year mood? (No... its an excuse, I know it. There!) I've been like playing games on www.viwawa.com its a real cute website.. and it makes me happy seeing the cute avatar. haha.. try it!

well, can see from my previous post I'm already sick of my job. Not to worry, I'm not quitting just yet. I havent earn enough.. And I know, from living example around me, I am actually alrdy very xin fu. Endure, try to endure ok shuhui, CNY coming soon...


ytd was the long-awaited friday for both me and eugene. Cos both of us had a hard week. And was looking fwd to it for a break. Was actually hoping we can meet earlier la, and its all my fault. For gg to the hairdresser then and the queue was long. Not in the alot of pp sense, but the work to be done b4 me. The hairdresser was dying hair for 3 pp and I nd to wait for her lo. And I was so glad I wasn't like one of them, she was there since 12++ ok.. so means she waited for 6+ hours. OMG! The hairdresser la, she's a bit slow kind.. but i think its good esp when u do rebonding and dying hair with her. And some more, cos its new year that's why.. more pp..


And so, I cut my hair. to a shorter length. Cos my ends are too thinned out by one wrong move from a previous hairdresser. And since I wanted to go for a change, but not too drastic one (cos I still wan my long hair), I think I cut abt 5 inches of my locks. Ok la, I like the hairstyle.. just that cos I just cut, the ends at the side is a bit qiao, hope it'll grow out when my hair becomes longer.. if not I'll have to be stuck with a dilemma of to rebond or not. I don't wan to rebond when my hair is not the length I want! argh.. *cross fingers*


okies.. bought this shirt from na fang's shop blog. I've long wanted to buy a pair of shorts, white since it'll go with alot of clothes easily.. But still haven get it yet. Am trying to plan a trip to Bugis for it.. see how it goes. but boo.. she nv gimme discount ):

I hate the job.
But I like my colleagues.

I want to quit.
But I need the money.

I know I'll be much more relaxed if I don't do the job. Just quit.
But a promise is a promise. Since I committed to it, I shld stick to it.

But I hate the fact that its only WEEK 3 and my READINGS ARE PILING!
I dragged myself to work after sch.

Monday, it'll be damn sian to wait for wk to start. Wed it'll be damn rushed cos lessons finish late and I have less than 1/2 hr to eat. Sun I'll have to forego my evening time, which can usually be spent slowly reading a textbk after TV. at least its better than nothing.

I hate that from the tone of the person on the other end of the phone I know he's not going to donate ever, and yet I still have to make myself finish everything I nd to say. I hate that even if the person gave me shit attitude I still have to sound nice and polite and end off with a Thank You. Thanks for what?! For your shitty and rude attitude?!

'Oh. I don't need to consider.'

'Sorry Sir, what do you mean?'

'I don't want to donate my money'

'Do you recall receiving the 2007 Annual Giving..'

'Oh that one ah, I don't want to donate. Ok.'

I hate that I'm letting all this affect me though its just a stupid job that I do to bring in extra money.

well.. my blog's been stagnant for quite a few days. Been wanting to blog abt Soonhui's 21st chalet but there wasn't much time. What with sch starting and my phonathon job, I don't have much time left for stuff like blogging.. Just spent resting or doing my tut and stuff. Argh.. These 2 days gotta use it fully to catch up. Full speed ahead!

anyway.. there's alot photos uploaded by weizhe, heow hui & pong.. So when I got the time, I'll start pulling some out and put them here.. and ya, I'm trying not to get too tempted by a top I saw online. Argh... its hard to resist temptation, esp when there's a sale!

My knight in white. hehe.. In his uniform, we actually weren't supposed to hold hands or anything, but Eug said nvm. So in the pic we seem like a shy couple who just got tog. Like don't dare to lean in too close or show the held hands. hahaha.. But I still love the pictures we took, his fren was nice to help us take 3 and told us to 'change pose'.


But what you cannot see, is the 2 squads of army boys clad in their clean white uniform beside us plus the MP vehicles and some MP ard. I honestly felt quite intimidated and a bit scared to walk in the alley beside Heerens to find him. Haha.. was afraid I'll be stopped by some MP and hauled away like some criminal cos there were the army guys there, and I stood out like such a sore thumb.


anyway, since Eug had things on tml morning and I was having a splitting headache (ever since I reached town) we had a simple dinner at the BK in Vivocity. Double Swiss Mushroom! Yummy
yummy! We were both so hungry lo, cos it was alrdy like 7+ close to 8 and we haven eaten anything. My stomach was so empty its got this weird feeling alrdy. haha, so the BK was v satisfying!
anyway, I met Minshan ytd for lunch at JP and we went ard to shop. Had so much fun with her. But saw this woman that made me utterly disgusted by her 'fashion sense'. She actually has quite a nice body. Tall and slim, 3/4 jeans and shoes that enhanced her nice legs. But she had to show her underwear. And if its like u wore a G-string or wad then u bend down n it showed, ok.. That is still 'passable', I can just look away. But this woman, had her whole panty band popping out, showing distinctively between her jeans n top. and I mean WHOLE because it was RED and said CALVIN KLEIN.
it was damn disgusting to me la.. I mean, as a girl, shouldn't you take more responsibility in making sure ur undies doesn't show. I don't care wad brand you're wearing underneath and I dont want to see it. Especially when it looks like u're wearing ur man's briefs cos that was what hers looked like. Its like those boxers guys wear and the band that show when their baggy pants sag. and she was with a bunch of guys.. Damn. I wonder wad's got into her.

Night mode did not really work for us. And my head looked so big, lol. But its ok, its a start to our photo-taking. haha.. I bet the couple waiting for the parking space must be damn pissed. Hee.. we were abt to go when we tot we shld take a pic and there was this car waiting for our lot =P




anyway, Eug brought me to Maxwell Food Center (I'm not v sure if that's wad its called, but yeah.. Its Maxwell, quite near Lau Pa Sat) to have the porridge there. He was telling me how good is it, and the moment we stepped in the first stall I see is He Ji Zhou - a big stall with a queue. There were like abt 3 pp at the kitchen area cooking the porridge lo, you can imagine how busy it is if it were to be lunch hour. There's a wide variety of porridge there, and we order the Mixed Pork Porridge.


Here you go, the yummy porridge. Real smooth and a lot ingredients, which justifies the $3.50 they're charging it for. Pig's intestines, kidney, pork etc. Oh, only complain I had was that the intestines weren't handled properly, as in washed or seasoned properly, cos there's this icky porky smell to it. But other than that, everything was great. So maybe if u guys shld try this next time, req for no intestines then (:


So yep, the dessert.. heh heh. I think its Longan beancurd, though it tastes like jelly. But still.. not bad (:
Ytd was the last day of my attachment. The past few days our colleagues have been treating us very well cos they knew we're leaving. Well, not that they did not treat us well b4, just that they took the initiative to ask us to go out with them for lunch & letting us choose the place etc. Just Thurs they treated us to Billy Bombers at JP. I wished I had my cam phone with me, so I could take pictures of our food. I had sth called Surf and Turf, which was really nice. To my surprise (as well as my colleagues), I managed to finish everything eh. There was a steak (not the usual portion, damn big lo that one) and a fish fillet.. Steak was tender, fish was real good too.. oh, instead of fries I chose potato salad which made me real glad I did. Cos the salad was good, and my colleagues kept commenting on how 'balanced' my meal was. haha.. cos theirs are all fried or like ribs (gravy's got fat ma.. =P).
well.. 5 weeks there. Eric had said he regretted going there cos he might have had more meaningful ways of spending his hols. Yeah.. I agreed somehow, if I went back to Starhub, I could earn near 3x more. which will do me a lot of good given the financial security it would give me. haha.. I did not learn as much as I hoped to. Mainly did Excel stuff, and in e end the employee opinion survey had been pushed back 2-3 times till the deadline was 3 Jan. And since it was only one day for me to help them do the results, I couldn't do much. Pity the temp staff taking over me. I had tot that if I were to be given the time to help them churn out the results of the EOS, it would be a good achievement on my part. 2000+ responses and I'll have to like do the results for each SBU even.
But the exposure and friendly colleagues were a huge plus point la. Its like I was networking, career advice they gave were very good too. What we asked they would always give very good answers and sound advice.. (: But I don't think I'll be going back there for my PA, I hope to go into another industry, hopefully Tourism..

just read the last of my novels I borrowed. Well.. I had 7 in total from the 3 trips made to the library. But those written by Wendy Holden had sort of disappointed me. They were bestsellers but I had honestly preferred The Undomestic Goddess over any of those. There were a lot of dialogue and details which I felt were boring and doesn't contribute much to the plot. Ended up flipping my way thru' the pages till I found myself staring at The End. So yep, I had a total of 4 of Holden's book, but after 2 I went back to my Nora Roberts. Eve & Roarke were much more interesting to read.

Anyway.. last nite.. I gotta apologise to Shuyi, Soonhui & Heow Hui. It was quite silly on my part. Haha, being at home I had drank too fast, and too much wine (on an empty stomach =P) and so halfway trying to organize a last min chit chat session I felt whoozy and decided to call it a day. I rem Heow Hui telling me he'll call e rest and I just went to lie down on my bed. Still, I think in e end u guys never meet up rite? So sorry I spoilt everything!

First day of the year.. first person I met was.. Eugene. no surprise here ya, haha.. He came back ytd afternoon from Msia. And we met for lunch today. Simple affair, beef hor fun and Starbucks! There's so much people at Vivo lo.. I tot the crowds would be elsewhere since the countdown last nite was alrdy there. I was so wrong!

But anyway, had a good time just chilling out with him (: Last 3 days of work and then it'll be school starting all over again for me. I would also be doing that calling job.. which I totally find a bore but had to do it cos of the $$. ha.. Jan will be busy for him.. so let's jia you ya.. Looking fwd to friday, last day of work!
