starting the day early means more posts a day. like I said b4, my bio clock seems to be pretty tuned to waking up at 7am. So much so that even on my free day - like today for instance - I was already awake BEFORE 7am. My body likes to wake up b4 the alarm once it tunes in to it. So even when I want to slp in, I ended up waking at 7+. which means, technically, I will never be late for sch.

yeah, seeing its my free day of cos I nua-ed in bed. did some mind-boggling transcription ( I am way behind time...) and headed down to JP. Cos John Little's having sale and... I needed to buy some new lingerie. haha. and just down the row is Body Shop... so total damage for today : $150. yeah... I know... *glance at hole in pocket. But, I'll be getting my pay soon after I turn in my work for the research project, yay!

and I like to introduce my new friend...

Xiao Feng/晓凤

Haha! its a pair (: 晓龙 is with Jer... I didn't expect him to get sth like that. But of cos... I love it.

everything was perfect ytd, after sch that is :P everything went according to wad I planned. Bought my usual 8 Days to accompany me on the train.

Ok, talk abt the train ride, maybe its not that perfect afterall. After the first few stops, this Indian lady sat down beside me. And quite a sizeable one, mind you. Look, I got nothing against Indians and I'm certainly not racist. But I really cannot stand the smell she carried with her. So much so that while reading the mag, I had to turn my head frequently to my right to catch some fresh air. Seriously... if not everytime I inhale, I smell this.... dunno how to describe it. Anyway, I thought it'll be very bad if I changed seats just like that.

But after a while, this auntie sat down on my right, and I was sandwiched between the pungent smell that doesn't go away and the occasional rubbing of the auntie's head while she dozed off. That's it... I endured till Outram and just stood up to take a seat opposite. *gasps for fresh air!

And back to my perfect afternoon... haha. Reached T3 after 430 and got my coffee bean then strolled to the belt. It was then did I realised that he may not be there, cos I don't see any HK flight from SQ. And yeah, indeed, it was at T2. But well, its less than 5 mins away from the sky train. And I didn't have to wait long for him...

Jer really bought alot of things... haha. I got my jacket and polo tee (: but sadly I cant wear the skirt he bought, even if diet also cannot wear it. Unless u saw off the sides of my hip bone. LOL. yeah, the hip area... but I'm still happyyyyy! The whole night was just dinner, chatting & catching up... with him, his sis, his cousin, etc. Its a good break away from the books, and since weekends I had done so much... I deserve a break don't I? :P

but yeah, in the midst of the joy of having him back, yes... I still remember my deadlines... BOO.

you guys remember the game Ghost Squad we played on sx's Wii ytd? I think it got imprinted into my head cos I like the game alot. So much so that last nite I dreamt I was fighting a war in the jungle, alongside (this is the weird part) thong ler?! hahaha. he wasn't playing with us wad, how come I was fighting a war with him. LOL.

The dream was actually quite funny, I had to leopard crawl in some drain to avoid the enemies and I rem seeing those blue & red laser dots (see?! its the game!!!) darting all around me. Miraculously I didn't die in the game. I woke up in some ward but I couldn't find thong ler. LOL.

anyway, I woke up damn early at 6+ today cos its my 外公's death anniversary. Over the years, other than Chinese New Year, its the only other occasion that we can see alot of relatives gathering around. The aunts will kp saying how tall I've grown. its weird... haha, cos I've always been this height for yrs. then as my nieces & nephews grew up, they'll compare their height with me again. haha. they're funny sometimes.

was hoping to see two of my fave cousins, but they weren't there. One went to play his fave golf game, and another was too busy with her business. Oh well, I can only sms to ask after them (:

feel recharged after slping early last nite, and getting a power nap after the temple visit... 开工咯!

today... is a happy day. unexpectedly caught baby online b4 leaving for my meeting and we caught up a little. Haha, the meeting was surprisingly relaxed cos the we're actually starting early on our case. So we agreed on a structure and decided we shall go back and work on it b4 next meeting. Hopefully, we can settle it fast next week... because we'll also be having a quiz to study for then.


went down to Shuxian's place to play Wii! we almost wanted to buy sushi at the sports complex but decided against it. in the end, our root beer idea was not bad, it was so yummy we all had second helpings! wahaha... and woo... its so fun to try out all those games and compete among ourselves. LOL. conclusion is I'm bad at gymnastics but I can do archery. haha! its been quite long since I meet our nh friends. I really hope after my leg heals we can get that ball game idea rolling, you guys think can or not?

And here's one of the highlight of the day - super hyper Cookie. Somehow he took a liking to me and kept wanting to come over. I was scratched quite badly I think! but no, I still love doggies (and cookie =D)

he was actually looking at e camera, but my hp's cam a bit lag. oops :P

*edited

There's this idiotic freako who added me on MSN, and I thought he's one of my uni frens. You know, those adding that comes when you start new sem and know new people. But he's so not one of them. some horny idiot who's asking me to on my webcam.

Too bad la, chee ko pek, I'm not those kinda gal. And I dont have a webcam. Be careful ladies! I dunno how in the world he got my contact!

I didn't really realised how afraid I am of needles until now. The first time the needle went into my left thumb I was honestly freakin' out. I know its only one needle, but the sudden feel of it poking into the not-so-fleshy part of my thumb is definitely not a good feeling. Plus the numbness that comes after that... I kept asking the chinese physician if the needle can be removed. LOL. until his helper asked me if I was afraid of pain. Nope, its the freakin' needle!




And so today I listen to dear Gladys and go back to the clinic, and this time he poke IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LEFT WRIST! wa lau. he didn't tell me, I thought its the same place. so while he prepared e needle I looked away. EEEKS! I was a bit grossed out that he simply stuck the needle there. I mean its where all people slit when they don wanna live, yucks.

ARGH, see show you. maybe I'm over-reacting to some of you, but I seriously... cannot stand the needle there. oh, mum went too cos some of her old ailments acting up. We're quite a sight when we walked out of the clinic I tell you. I had my right foot bandgaged and hers was her left foot and one of her fingers on her left. LOL.

OK, recently as 13th Sept draws nearer I kept reminding my bro of his impending enlistment into the army. It never fails to irritate him and of cos it adds on to my happiness. hahaha. no la, after that I wont be able to tease him as much wad. One week left for me too. And this morning I was surprised by sth... That day they went to JB without me and went to Secret Recipe to bring back our usual loot of cakes. I told him I wanted cheesecake... only this. But in e end he also chose another slice of mango cake for me. Hey. He knows eh... I mean, its quite an open secret that we both like mango la, esp me. He's nv done sth like that b4, lol. He usually just choose any choc cake cos he knows it'll cfm delight me.

and talking about my bro, he just told us sth that really crack me up. I'm amazed at the ignorance of his friends. Tay Ping Hui was illustrating the origins of mooncake on ch8 after the 7pm show and my bro said his friend told them:

"Mooncake ah... I know! They throw into the river so the fishes wont eat up the hero ma... Right?"

LMAO.

was actually ready to go home after I finish with all my stuff of the day, but xiaomei popped the question to go our fave hangout - Coffee Bean at JP. Ya, now its almost like my weekly date with her. And I just rem that this sat I have to go back there again for my 325 meeting.

anyway, today was our first real meeting with the entire 325 grp, and it was weird to have our sweden friend around. Luckily he's easy to talk to, and yeah... I sorta took up the 'responsibility' to talk to him so that he wont feel neglected. went pretty well, we at least came up with a draft of wad aahad wants. hopefully it'll suffice...

had this long talk with Serene at Macs... Its our first real heart-to-heart talk since we knew each other. yeah, again she broached the topic of MS & me. I know she's concerned, just like shuyi you all... but really. I think by now you all know what is my stand. And I really appreciate that she could see it my way too. It makes talking about it easier in a way. Haha... so ya, dont tell me abt what first step to take, who to take, do what and whatnot.

You guys shld know by now. So yep, let's leave it at that... I don't want to risk getting myself hurt. anymore.

went for my first real networking event in NTU, for a certain established hotel group (: I must say I am impressed by the org, all the GMs turned up and they were very good in delivering their part of the presentation. I always tot such talks were solemn events, oops.



I think the prog's real good, but I think I wont be gd enuff for it. The fast track is really damn fast la. LOL. in 18 mths you'll be an asst manager of a department. Of cos, its sort of like I've been wanting to work in the tourism industry, but i think this is kinda too demanding? Or like Joyce and I were saying... somehow we are not like some of our peers (not just in HRC), I think I don't aim high enough! maybe its cos I know where I stand. hahaha. ah, whatever, these kind of talks make me feel small.



anyway, the reception was good, I like the smoked salmon. quickly snapped a shot of the plate cos its got an interesting design. but the whole plate is quite heavy after placing our glass on it.

Ok, bo skill shot ok, cos there were alot of service crew around, cannot appear too noob right?!

alrighty, I cant wait for this weekend to pass. I'll finish another load of work for the deadlines next week and Jer, Gladys & Wylin will all be back. I think its really fated for me not to go... See... if I were to be gone this weekend, how much work would I be piling for next week. Hai. Oh well, ren le ba shuhui...

still feeling the after-effects in my left hand, havent really regain its strength after the poke. damn, its my first time and I was very nervy. I don't want to go back! but I guess I have to. I'm talking in circles right, don't mind me...

whole day havent been really productive. dunno why, have things to do but I dont feel the sense of urgency yet. Shuhui, shuhui... concentrate will you. Tml is declared 'networking day'! Lunch and dinner provided, only thing is the attire. Hmm... wait till you see me. I'll take pics to show you all what I mean... for now, back to reading my case study. Oh, today no pictures, I'm too cui~

due to many things that happened ytd, was some sort in an emotionally fragile state. couldn't slp though I was tired! was chatting with eric abt the sudden change that happened to us ytd and he suddenly asked... if he died would anyone cry for him? what a question... but of cos I had an answer for it la...

today I'm home alone. Mum & Bro went to JB with 大姨 to buy mooncakes and shop around. I desperately have to do some transcription and submit sth today, if not I don't think I'll be able to meet the deadline next week. And hopefully get some reading done? there's like tons to do... and you know what? next week is already week 6, which means mid-term is coming. But what have I done so far huh?!

I've been hugging the jacket while I hobbled around in my room and was just not in e mood to work. So I decided to take some pics to cheer myself up... I wouldn't say its camwhore la...

so... will anyone, except Jer, cry if I were to die? (HAHA, see la eric...)

Took a test (http://www.helloquizzy.com/results/the-long-scientific-personality-test) as rec by Joyce, MBTI... took a similar one from a link given by Jer too b4, and somehow the results are a bit diff. This one shows more details, perhaps cos there're many more questions. And its surprisingly quite accurate... Here goes...

Your result for The LONG Scientific Personality Test ...

ESFJ-The Provider

You scored 64% I to E, 58% N to S, 29% F to T, and 11% J to P!

Providers, a subgroup of the Guardians, take it upon themselves to arrange for the health and welfare of those in their care, as well as being quite sociable. Wherever they go, Providers take up the role of social contributor, happily giving their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, that traditions are supported and developed, and that social functions are a success. Providers are extremely sensitive to the feelings of others, which makes them perhaps the most sympathetic of all the types, but which also leaves them rather self-conscious, that is, highly sensitive to what others think of them. Because of this Providers can be crushed by personal criticism, and will work most effectively when given ample appreciation both for themselves personally and for the service they give to others. This is not to say that Providers are afraid to express their own emotional reactions. They are quick to like and dislike—and don’t mind saying so—tending to put on a pedestal whatever or whoever they admire, and to come down hard on those people and issues they don’t care for. You share your type with 10% of the population.As a romantic partner, you work hard to nuture and protect your relationships. You go to great lengths to maintain harmony and are motivated to resolve conflicts. You have a very clear idea of what is important to you and do best when your partner shares those same values. You want your partner to be loving, commited, and willing to support your frequently overwelming feelings and reactions. You feel most appreciated when your partner is kind, considerate, and helpful, and compliments you often on your hard work in their behalf.

went for my haircut ytd at Millenia Walk, cut another version of bob so my hair's back to the short length again. I like the cut, just not the way she helped me blow. A bit too 'over' - more for like runway rather than a sunday afternoon out. Immediately dashed into the toilet to tame my 'beehive' down :P

oh and xiaomei gave me the notebook she made for me (: ok la, she say this shot not well taken, like dont do justice to her decorating efforts. But it was so rushed leh, haha... nvm la, I like can liao, right? :P Thks alot Jo! I decided I will jot down my personal thoughts inside instead of using it for sch, too precious!

then I finally got my wireless fixed ytd nite too! my cousin came over to set it up again for me, wheeee! and then somehow or rather, I ended up chatting with Gladys & xiaomei at my void deck. Took a lot of shots, silly, funny, normal shots etc. haha, my god, laughing like dunno wad.

that's my feng jie stare. if you irritate me, you'll get this ok? wahaha.

anyway, the rest of this is a 'life-is-unexpected' post. I learnt from colleagues that a GM in my PA company just passed away this morning. dun really know the details, only know that he was out of town and it happened overseas. Hai... I haven't really worked with him but I've seen him around enough in the office to leave an impression...

the time I was silly enough to fall down while looking at him reverse the car. right in front of his entrance. and the time I helped gladys put up the poster just outside his office. he saw us and smiled. omg... life really IS unpredictable...

which reminds me that Jer is overseas too... boo...

been busy the past few days. Hmmmmm, not entirely over work. wahaha.

Friday was a day of mainly transcription, made some progress but some technical problem made me too frustrated to get back to work. boo.

yesterday was super fun (: first was HRC Bridging Day at Sentosa. Seems that the response of the freshies were not bad, they like the games. yays. so here's some pics...

Take a second look at my tag.

:D they wanted us to include our 'nickname' on the tags as well. What else but this right?

Yup so as expected I was bua-ing sunblock every now & then cos I don't want to be sunburnt/tanned. But I neglected one spot. My back. And it like uber chao ta now. like 10 shades of difference or even more.

Then I managed finally got to spend some time with Jer, like the first time this week? Did some toiletries shopping... and we went back to pack for his HK trip. I didn't know that packing can be such a chore... hahaha. anyway, we met his friends at night to watch the Thai horror movie '4BIA'. Its not bad... the effects are not as good as Jap or Hollywood movies of cos, but erm I still had his jacket's hoody covering half my face most of the time. WAHAHA.

ok la, I didn't really say it last nite but I was a bit nervous abt meeting his friends, but in the end... they're nice people, nothing to worry about... haha...

Oh, I'm going for my haircut later, like finally!! I cant stand the ends of my hair on some days...

I conclude that I cannot live my normal routine without my internet. Or to be exact, my wireless connection. ARGH. But I can only wait till sunday when cousin comes over. Boo!

Anyway, since I was internet-deprived, I went on to doing other work that I could do on my lappie. Like my transcribing work - already started some. Which means money will be rolling in soon :P

Had an impromptu meetup with the ladies from my office ytd. It all started from xiao mei's suggestion to get CB. Then Gladys said their KTV was cancelled, and she came down to JP with her qin ai de after their work. Which means yesterday I spent like more than 6 hours in JP cos I was lunching with Minshan there! lol. Its one of those feel-good evenings you know will never fail to cheer you up after a day of work.

But... I forgot to pass Jer's cookies to xiao mei. Stupid right. Which means I have to get it to him somehow while its still fresh... But I havent seen him this entire week! And may I repeat myself again, you gals see him more in the office than I do ):

Was looking at some old sms that night when I couldn't get to slp (I haven't really been controlling my caffeine intake since sch started) and it brought back alot of memories. Nice ones of cos (: I miss dempsey's Ben & Jerry... and the Henderson Wave...

okok. it boils to missing long-ge, isn't it?

beside the fact that my wireless decided to give me prob, my blogskin decided to play a prank on me too. nvm. its ok. I can still take it.

so let's stick to this dull default template until i can find the time to search for another blogskin.

anyway, I decided I shall have one less post on rambling about sch and one more on other things instead. was half-watching (cos my bro's com in the living room) this channel 8 show about some competition for super mummies, and i am quite tickled by how the producers thought up of ways to test all the mummies there.

they asked the ladies to recognise their hubbies by the one leg that was sticking out through each screen. and then for a whole minute all so u have 8 grown man eagerly sticking out their legs and waving it here n there, as if to call out to their wives. OH, I think they shaved. haha... but there were 2 mummies who chose the same Daddy D (or Leg D) and they were asked why did they choose him.

"Oh, I recognised the scar on his leg."

"So XXX, does your hubby have a scar on his leg too?"

"Hmm... this is an embarrassing question... I..."

So there you go, after two kids and years of courtship/marriage, the wife doesn't know if the hubby has got a scar on his leg? I dunno... I'm feeling embarrassed for her as well. Its on the kneecap, the leg... not in some secluded spot like... under the armpits?! how come you dunno he got a scar? hmm...

so... how much do you know about the people near you? (:

I feel like screaming. or maybe pull on my hair. but considering the recent hairfall I decided not to further aggravate it.

MY WIRELESS CONNECTION DECIDED TO CRASH ON ME at this crucial period.

WTH right. today is the start of the simulation game for strategic mgmt. Tml we have FYP discussion & meeting with prof... how can i work w/o Internet? Lucky my bro's com can be used once in a while n he's not using wireless. but it irks me that i cant use my own com at my will cos i got stuff to do. arghhhhhhh...

I approached my cousin for help cos he alw fix our com prob. he offeredto come later. but. BUT I was paiseh to make him come over so quickly though he just live across e road. and he got his own business wad. So i said dont nd so rushed... although it is!!! and he said he'll come over the weekends then.

slap me pls.

I couldn't recall when was the last time I felt so reluctant to drag myself out of bed. And I was already wishing for the day to be over before it even started. gosh. talk about monday blues. mine was a serious case can.

anyway, 311 tutorial was an agonizing process. our answer was taken down bit by bit, argument by argument and it was so slow that we only managed to go thru half of what we're supposed to do. somehow we already lost faith in our tutor. and we're like having doubts abt things he say cos he is so 'unconventional' in his style of teaching. makes our monday mornings even more unbearable!

I'm only too glad that this week will be less packed cos we don't have clashing of assignments deadline. but judging from the amt of work... I think we really gotta slog hard this sem.

thks to Jo & Gladys for the occasional encouragement. Esp dear gladys, you sent me a msg at mid-day to jia you cos only half the day left. hahaha... put a smile to my face (: sry ladies... I'll try to settle down & adjust to the workload and not disappear like that... I miss our chilling out times...

somehow it doesn't feel like week 3. Its not supposed to be this busy. I'm not supposed to feel so stressed so fast!

With the sudden load of work piled on us, many of us are really burnt out this weekend. How come we're all chionging for the Giordano case as well as Aahad's article analysis. I think its a curse. Anyway, I am supposed to be shopping in JB now, but obviously I'm not. haha. I knew that if I were to continue with the original plan and go I wouldn't enjoy myself anyway. so many things on my mind now.

I kind of need to go update my planner to see the real picture of wad's coming next week. I think in the transition period of week 5 to week 6 you guys may find shuhui disappearing from the surface of the earth. Its cos I most prolly have to 闭关修炼. By some misfortune, I was assigned to do the Internet findings + case analysis presentation with my teams on the same day. And there's also a quiz from Aahad.

and last night (or rather this morning) while working on the slides, had this sudden craving for choc... I think its cos I walked past Godiva ytd in Citylink. Rem the drink xiao mei? we should get it one day, my treat.

I think I havent blogged for 2 days? Anyway, the AB311 case study had me stressed out these 2 days cos there doesn't seem to be enough time to digest the concepts of this week's lecture and we already have to go on to do the case. Plus, my eyes are making me tired. It sounds stupid right. But I've ran out of eye drops and lately my eyes get dry easily cos of the lack of sleep :P

Somehow ytd everything got onto my nerves. Aahad spent one entire hour on 6 slides/1page of the lecture notes. And we had 7 pages that day. It was so agonizing to go thru it that I found myself stoning right away. Then there was a last min HRC meeting + Prof Boh's meeting + AB311 meeting after that. My god... Anyway looking on the brighter side... I got the Research Assistant (RA) job. and we're given quite a tight schedule, which was another reason why I felt pressurized.

So was feeling quite sian from all these and had my coffee craving so I rang up one of the gals. I'm so glad that though it was impromptu we still made it for our Ladies' Night. haha. But eh, I know when I just reached I let my mood got the better of me... sorry abt that ya ladies. I usually don't get stressed up in week 3. haha, i think the final year thingy is getting to me alrdy.

so yeah, even wylin made it to our dinner! *grins Gladys treated Waraku at MSQ. congrats to ur confirmation gal (: Dinner was of cos great, lots of silly jokes & laughter. cannot tahan the hokkien spking part, totally cracked me & wylin up. Which I think made us one of the noisiest table. oops. Eh, Gladys... you cannot always treat leh. But thks for the wonderful company & dinner gals (: Just wad I needed!

with the 稀客

my favourite! (:

this weekend shows no promise of a break but hopefully will be a good mixture of work + play...

its been so long since I cried over reading. and though I stayed up till 2+ and practically dragged myself out to school today, I don't regret it at all. though it was a crime novel but Patterson still managed to weave in a lil' touching scene here n there. The nurse who helped many while they fought against illnesses had lost her own battle against cancer. and she was also a loving mum & wife. so yeah there was a small part that said:

She hadn't really left for good. She's just ahead, waiting for you.

I just thought that it was a... very positive way of looking at death. which reminded me of the conversation I had with minshan on MSN just a few days ago. happens the topic of that day was death. we were wondering abt how we would deal with losing someone very close to us. we both thought we will most prolly join them soon after due to heartbreak. hahaha. ok la, I don't want to think about that for now. Cos just a while back I had a big scare cos of Thong Ler and the day's happenings are still fresh in my mind.

my I/O psychology module had its first real tutorial today after the disruption from the National Day holiday in NTU last week. So we see the class in full force and was asked to do the usual introduction. Cos that module is a prescribed elective for Psychology majors or people who want to minor in Psychology (or simply taking it as a UE like us) we were considered the 稀有珍品. LOL. Out of the 21 students there were only 3 business students, including me. And our tutor was hoping we can split up so that we can 'give a different perspective to discussion'. Hmm.

So yeah, we were supposed to give our names and one of the best/worst job experience we ever had. How apt is that, right? Immediately my dear friends came to mind and of cos I had no problem giving my account of my best job experience. Let me just show you all again, who are the lovely people I met (besides Jeremy of cos (: )... I know I keep mentioning them in my posts nowadays. Even my mum cant fathom why I'm still so close with them... haha. she thought its just an internship.

This is dear Gladys, in our recent dinner cum RA movie. LOL. I think we only got closer during the later part of my time there. somehow amidst all the teasing in and outside work, all the 'squabbles' here and there... we can also talk abt alot issues and I think we are very similar in certain parts of our personality. hahaha. I think the 3 yrs apart make me sometimes see her as a da jie too. Ehhhh you dote on me like a xiao mei too right. WAHAHA. thks for the advice you'll occasionally drop me, I wont forget (:

The one in yellow is Wylin! When I was there, everything also pester her to help. hahaha. sometimes the 'cock-eye' me also 不小心 irritated her :P oops. but we are of the same age and I think that's why alot of times we can crap tog. haha... hey gal, sometimes see u always OT right... really feel like dragging you away from your work... Go out and enjoy life cos we're young & we're not supposed to be slogging away should we? but also understand you got alot to do. so... hope that you'll find that Prince Charming to charm you away from your work so you'll take time away from it :P

and this is the adorable xiao mei or Josephine who self-declared her love for me on her blog. hahaha! curious pls go link to her blog n take a look, lol. anyway... with her around its always very 热闹. She surely have 1001 comments on alot of things but it always crack me up. and she can be so sweet to buy me my fave snack & is now in the process of decorating my notebook. haha... I think I mentioned b4, actually xiao mei also makes me see things in a different light (: eh, when did we become so close huh. haha... we're like poles apart in personality, but i guess that's why we complement? oh and we have a common love for Coffee Bean, so here's my CB kaki too!

So yep, what would I do without you gals (: I'm looking fwd to the lunch and our getai next week...

I'm surprised at how things all happen together at the same time. Rem the research assistant job I applied for? I thought it was gone after I transcribed the audio. hahaha. cos I think I missed out a few of the jargons. But apparently the Prof who's hiring wants to meet me tog with 2 other students. So that means we're shortlisted. but not hired yet I guess. I hope she's getting us 3 and not thinking of just hiring one after we meet.

And after I replied the email to say I'm ok with the meeting time. I was having dinner when the stupid boy said he's not going to tell me my phone rang. Ya, we're like that. lol. anyway, it was the anixous mum who wanna get English tuition for her kid. Seriously. on the same day, one job after another?

Anyway, I told her I cant take up the tuition anymore cos I already have another job. I'll help her look out though. I fibbed la, but I really prefer the research assistant job more though its more hours and commitment. I think it'll be a gd learning experience too, judging from the content of the audio clip :P

So yep, I'll be meeting Prof Boh after our combined seminar class on Thurs. Let's hope I get it (: oh ya, Adella told us about Prof Ahad's class today. and I think it spells alot of hours analyzing cases & presenting. boooooo.

so for now, I shall enjoy whatever freedom I have left. Lunch tml with the gals back in the office! Then I decided I shall go to West Coast Park's Mac to try some mugging. Yeah, I somehow got the mugging mood. Let's hope the Macs' conducive for studying tml

P.S: another boo, I gotta keep my ankle guard on for a few more days ):

omg, I just realised that I wasted ytd afternoon reading the Giordano case. Somehow silly me got the idea that its gonna be the case study to be discussed tml. I didn't bother to chk the course outline and I haven't got it printed out yet. Well, this is what I shall do during my 4-hour break tml then...



I thought I would spend my afternoon lazing around & trying to read some more 311 before the table tennis finals today. But with xiao mei & her frequent Coffee Bean cravings... its no surprise that I got jio out for a CB break. hahaha. Yeah, since fri at MSQ she was already demanding her CB, and way before that day too.

That's my new drink you see there, not the usual fave ice blended mocha. Cos I decided I shall try sth new, and that's how I got my Ultimate ice blended drink. Ok la, I still prefer mocha... haha. 还是旧的比较好?

anyway, I couldn't get much done. mainly cos I'm already a person who gets distracted and cant concentrate in the afternoon. And somehow the CB at JP seem extraordinary noisy that day. So I got a few pages read, chatted the rest of my time away. thks so much for getting me the cod & cheese snack from MUJI. that's so sweet of you la, I only told you on Fri that its my fave snack when we dropped by the shop... (: And so I pei xiao mei go shop around... sorry I cant accompany you longer, hehe... you shld noe I'm enthu abt supporting the SG team in the finals.

which was why I decided to walk back home cos I know at that time, the interchange will be flooded with Bangas like a mini Little India. I hate them swarming all around me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not biased against them... I just don't like them all crowded at one place and their non-stop chattering really gets to me. But erm, I think while walking home I was too anxious. (P.S: I reached home in abt ten mins :P ) Feeling a strain in my right lower leg now. Actually, I think recently I gotta be more careful in my walking... cos this is not the first time I'm feeling the strain. I don't want to hurt my ankle again.......

yesterday after settling down to read my tb, I realised how tired I was. So after reading a few pages, I decided to be a good gal and sleep early so I can start my Sunday well.

and wow, really early lo. 7+ I already found myself awake, lazed ard till 8+. And then I rem that this morning Phelps is swimming arguably one of the most legendary races - 4 x 100 Medley relay. His fight for the 8th gold medal. and yeah, he got it & even received special commendation for it. I'm so glad I caught the race... Nice fight from the Japanese and Aussies. Too bad the Japanese team din get Silver. The breaststroke round delivered by Kitajima was wooooooo!

anyway, I'm supposed to be shopping in JB, but the trip was cancelled due to sth... wanna guess? Even the PM's English National Day Rally was postponed leh... my family wanted to catch the match tonight so we pushed it back to next week. Cos our initial plan was to have dinner there. And talk abt next week, its going to be packed during the weekends.

Fri: Dental appt + Huiyu's 21st
Sat: JB
Sun: Alverina's 21st

Boo-boo for my pockets. haha... but I can't make myself push these parties away cos its a great opportunity to see my NH friends again. And I think even for Shuyi & co, I feel like I havent seen you all in quite some time... (:

ok, this is my 3rd post today. lol. its just that I have so many random thoughts in my mind that I want to clear before I start on my reading. I wish I have Dumbledore's pensieve now! Then I can just remove these distracting thoughts and be a good gal to start on the readings. YES. I've been trying to pick up that strategic mgmt textbk to continue where I stopped the other time. One chapter is freakin' long can. And minshan, thks for getting me into the mugging mode. or shall I say, trying-to-mug mode.

Here's some more pics before they rot in my hp and become stale.

the day I dragged myself out for a meeting on Sunday during the NDP weekend. And I decided to succumb to the temptation of coffee in TCC. If I'm not wrong, this is Caramel Pecan Latte... I forgot :P

OK, I know posting this will surely get some hoo-haa. Cos I'm still having a wee bit of cough left. But hey! Me & Jo were at Toastbox in MSQ... I wanted laksa of cos, but when I decided to listen to xiao mei & order mee siam instead... the staff told us mee siam is out of stock. HAHA. its fated. had laksa ytd nite. I prefer the one at The Quad though. The gravy is yummier!

OK, I've mentioned to some people abt this kuey chap stall in JW, which happens to be near Jer's hse. This is more recent, lunch today (: OK, maybe I've not tasted the best... but so far this is my fave. I'm not good at describing food, so ya if you trust my taste... you can ask me where's the coffeeshop. And guess how much this cost?

$2.40

Tell me where else can you get nice kuey chap at this price. at this time of the year.

okay. don't worry abt me guys, I just wanted to pen down my frustrations last night. I won't pick up a fight with her for no reason... (: This morning my mum never say anything, surprisingly. Nah, I think she's just leaving it for another time. haha. anyway, I forgot to say last night... that my bro's enlisting in September. So... with one less person to fuss over I think I shld brace myself for more music. Cos she's more free wad!

anyway, let's see what I've been up to on Thursday night! Pictures from Gladys' phone.

The guys with the platter. It still looks very tempting!

me & my '弟弟'. hahaha. its just a private joke cos that day I tot I look 'older' than him

again... we are one short of Wylin

I think she knows that soon she'll be losing her 'control' over me, that's why lately she's been trying to tighten her reins on me. Yes, I know I've been out more often lately, and sometimes late. She's unhappy that I'm home late on some occasions. I've always tried to make it before 1am, if not as early as I can. Till now, I can still count with my 2 hands how many times I've reached home after 3am.

But no matter what, I always make sure I have my means of getting back home. And when I'm going to be late, I even let her know beforehand so that she won't wait up for me (let's ignore the fact that sometimes she purposely wait for me in her bid to try and make me guilty).

Most importantly, it shows just how much trust she has in me. You mean you cannot trust the friends I choose? I will mix with bad company and pick up bad habits is it? Can't I differentiate between work and play?

I've worked my entire holidays, 12 weeks, and not had much of a break except for the BKK trip. So since sch work is still trickling in can't I steal time on my off days and go out? In fact, when I count back, I've been working every holiday since I came back from France, last summer... which means no proper 'break'.

I can respect why she doesn't want me to go HK, and I've left it at that when I know I can fight for it. But surely she should know now that I'm 21, a final year student about to graduate... my circle of friends and social activities have evolved?! Is she going to like cage me up or what? Its only the 2nd week of sch, I am sensible enough to know when I should start studying!

I can accept that when I was kid... why do I have to be the earliest to leave birthday parties... the only one who can't stayover... and blah blah. But increasingly her calls when I was out is getting irritating. 'Ya, that was my mum'. And she calls for the most silliest reason when her real purpose was just to know if I'm on my way home. So ya, at 21, this is getting too much. I'm not asking her to wash her hands off me... but just... respect my personal space.

So yeah, just now was the last draw. I picked up her 2nd call. After that I msged my brother and off my phone. I know she'll call, let her then... I told him in the msg that she shld just go slp and stop calling me. The bigger a fuss she makes the later I'll be home. You may see it as me being a bad daughter, worrying my mum like that... deliberately cutting off her means of contacting me. I don't care!

That day I already said, I'm putting up with her because I'm still studying and I know she's concerned about my final year. Looks like I'm being tested for my endurance here. Just now I saw her at the balcony but I just went on to washing up. So, tml morning if she wants to say her piece... ok then!

Its been very long since I've felt my temper boiling within. I'm keeping it down because I don't want a quarrel with her. But if she picks up her fight, I can jolly well pack my stuff and do it outside. Rot at some Macs then.

Doesn't she know... Just like a rubber band, if you stretch it too hard, I'll just snap.

头脑快爆炸了.

I know transcribing wont be easy but I never expected it to be this tedious. I'm not supposed to divulge the contents of the audio but let's just say there's some jargon that I didn't catch and I think I'm gonna just leave it.

I'm supposed to transcribe the ten-min audio clip and send it back by today. I'm left with 3 mins of audio left to transcribe. I dunno, if they give me like this one hour interview to transcribe how long would I take?!?! And seriously, its v strenuous. Mum said I should quit frowning at the laptop. But I always frown unconsciously when I'm concentrating what.

Yeah, I need a break so I came here.

Let's talk about last night! (:

I think ever since the night at the airport I havent seen any of them. Oh, Tong Seng even further back cos he wasn't there. Gladys. And especially JEREMY!!! There was a lil' miscommunication about where to meet and eat, but we sorta iron it out. (right, Gladys?) So movie was at The Cathay at 9.55pm and dinner was in PS. Manhattan Fish Market... Its been a long time since I tried that.

Anyway, we dragged the dinner for as long as we can cos we have plenty of time to spare before the dinner. Another video call and gotta admit on some occasion we really look like lil' kids trying out this new game or sth. Eh, I love the mussels in the garlic cream sauce. Damn nice! Pictures are all with dear gladys, so that will have to wait till I drop by Wartsila. Maybe next week?

The movie: Pathology. Its sorta my first R21 movie. The male lead is one of the stars in Heroes and erm... its not those steamy movie. But rather its the violence/gore/blood etc etc that makes it R21. But the plot was not bad, so at least its not those movies that is like just throwing all the violence and whatever in.

Argh... let's get back to transcribing some more before lunch gal. I'm not sure if I'm really looking fwd to getting this job. My brains might be fried before I revise for exams.

I never knew a walk to the canteen and back can meet so much people. I believe minshan feels the same. and its great to see you guys in NTU la! its like been how long since I can bump into you all in school. Ever since SA or the Nan Hua days... so happy! (:

its good to feel the work streaming in, slowly I'll have to build up the momentum again. FYP meeting quite fruitful today, at least we're now narrowing our research further. again. haha! from now on, wednesdays are FYP days! And I'm really glad I chose Industrial/Organizational (I/O) psychology as an elective this sem, the project looks more manageable than I thought (as compared to our biz projects...). And somehow there's movie clips n stuff in the tutorial and the topics relate to HR alot.

but... today there was a 小插曲... ok la, all the while there's this tiny part of me still scheming to go HK. and my mum knows. of cos she does la, sometimes she can read me quite well though there are times where she don't understand me... she told me straight to give up the thought of going to HK.

鸡蛋. 她好狠...

ok lo... I know cannot already. But I really hope you can go Gladys (:

these few days my mind is like a pendulum bobbing between the choice of 'to go Hong Kong' and 'not to go Hong Kong'. and just ytd I told gladys I'm changing my mind every 5 mins. which is not exaggerating.

ARGH. this morning I was rather determined to stick to my mum's view of not going. cos I can see where she's coming from.

yes, its my final year. yes, I just been to bangkok. yes, I still have a grad trip to save up for. and YES I AM FINANCIALLY DRAINED. she doesn't have to kp reminding me that la. I'm doing fine... because I always leave reserves (see, typical Taurus). its just that she's worried I wont be able to settle myself down to study if I zip in and out of the country like that. during this kinda times, I hate it when the whole family is like waiting for me to graduate to lighten the burden. And even my aunts and cousins are like that. I don't like that unspoken pressure being put on me. Am I that insensible to let one trip distract like that...? aiya, dont want to quarrel, leave some leeway for myself (:

Anyway, after speaking to Gladys on the phone, I am swayed la. I know it'll be damn fun... I hate all the BUTs and the IFs here.

OK, to take my mind off things, here's wad I found...

P.S: I think my brother looks quite cute when he was a kid leh. Don't tell him or he'll ya ya. And I dunno why the hell I let them clip my hair up, the forehead looks even higher~ eeks.

have been searching for a nice skin for quite some time. this wasn't what I wanted initially, cos I think the reading pane is too small! But I think the HTML code for the brown one i found got some error. so yeah, I settled for second best. for now that is.

today was my first official lesson. yeah, I dont think those lectures counted last week cos they were so 'introductory'. I really wish I don't have 2 profs away in US for conference. I'd rather the lessons kick in at a faster rate so I can feel the studying mood quick. At the pace that my lessons are going... I think I'll be feeling damn slack. shucks.

This week I only have an online lecture, a makeup tutorial and a FYP meeting. give me work pls!

oh ya, I've sent out some applications for temp jobs in school in my bid to keep aside more $$$ for grad trip. hmm, let's see... research assistant & transcriber. All pay quite well, but I dunno if they are already snatched up... *cross fingers*

最近莫名其妙地突然很感性...

一首歌的歌词,
朋友的一句话
都足以让我联想起很多东西

就好像昨天在车上听到 <<触摸>>
一首以前就很喜欢的歌
觉得它的歌词好有意思

幸福是看得透 而不是舍不得他的所有

有多少人可以做到这一点呢?

曾看过一片短文写着: 很多人往往把自己所珍惜的紧紧握住. 可是他们有想过吗... 他们在坚持的是什么? 也许因为这坚持, 他们会错过其他更好的. 倒不如在恰当的时候学着放手... 所谓 '舍得'... 要舍才能得. 因为要先放手才能再握其他真正属于你的.

*******************************************************
dont ask me why I wrote this post, haha. Its just some of the thoughts that's been going thru my mind since ytd. Anyway, I'm not emo! Perfectly fine, just not really looking fwd to my morning lesson tml :P But yeah, I really should get into the 'student' mood...

somehow my cough sort of came back. I think I figured out why. Thinking that I'm better, I didn't take the cough syrup. Cos the doc say only when there's phlegm them take it wad. I guess now I shld =P I'm rather glad I told Josephine I'll pass on the Sentosa thingy ytd, cos I think in that weather my cough will worsen.


after dilly-dallying the whole afternoon and trying to get as much rest as possible, its finally time for me to meet dear gladys. Thanks alot Gladys, for sending me to the airport, the nice dinner & even the trip back. 你对我真好哦... (:


Dinner at Sushi Tei in ECP. (correct hor Gladys? haha.) I love the restaurant decor & ambience. I guess it could be cos there wasn't much people there, so it was quiet w/o any rowdy kids to disturb me. wahaha. yet, i think it seems too quiet for a sat afternn, we had expected it to be crowded. anyway, here wad we ordered!

hidden at the back is our sashimi salad, golden roll & the unagi+egg dish (yeah I forgot the name, only know how to eat) &...

salmon belly soup! and there's only two of us, I was damn full after the meal... I think I totally agree with wad you say gladys, that here in SG we're eating too. Thinking back... Macs, Secret Recipe, Sushi Tei. FAT-TEN-NING.

(: luckily our dinner & arrival at the airport was timed quite nicely. didn't have to wait THAT long. meant it as a surprise but somehow Jer anticipated that I would go... and the lil' misunderstanding that caused Jer's Dad to kan cheong for me. haha... I told them I'm at T3 shopping & he tot I was there waiting for the flight. cos its landing in T1. So he told Jer to 'don anyhow leave. maybe someone waiting for you'. LOL.

Anyway, after a long day ytd I thought I would slp in like a pig. But look at the timing of my post now. I woke up at 8+ la. for the second time consecutively. I think I'm too tuned to waking up at 6am. I nd the slp... maybe later.

oh ya, there's a boo boo today... I gotta be at this meeting at 6pm in town. *sigh

I think when I dont want my train of thoughts to be disrupted its better for me to blog in English, cos typing in Chinese is slower. And I gotta admit that after years of abandoning Chinese, I had to grapple with the right choice of words to express myself. Alrighty, I shall try to blog in chinese occasionally to prevent my Mandarin std from sliding to the pits!

And yesterday was officially, finally... my last day of work. Don't get mistaken, I said finally not cos I can't wait to leave that place. In fact, I cant bear to. But 'finally' becos I had extended twice, and whether I want it or not, its time for me to go back to sch and dutifully be a gd student. for my final year.

The past two days I had been doing things that I do not have to do, but took great lengths to... becos I know if I dont go out of the way, I wont see certain people or go certain places anymore. Which was why for e.g. I delivered the A4 size white envelopes to Biz Control personally cos I know they need it badly since a few wks back.

What really touched me the most was the well wishes, the lil' gifts & warm emails that I've received when the colleagues from other dept knew I was gone. Come on, I am only an intern. Alot of them could care less, given their busy schedules & business travelling plans. Bryan, Annie, Thomas etc.

ok, this is a badly taken picture, cos I was trying as much as possible to NOT include the other stuff on my study table. As you may have guessed, my room is a mess after a week of work + sch. Uncle Teo gave me a pen that he said he didn't had use for. He said someone gave it to him in the office. Mum actually suspect that he bought it for me, but didn't want to say so. I will never know cos I don't want to ask... But he's still like a dear fatherly figure to me all the same (:

Then Gladys gave me another surprise. Maybe I shld trace back to Thurs nite. I went home for dinner and back out again to JP to pay my hp bills. While msging each other we realised that both of us are in JP. haha... she was buying this water bottle for a friend and I still helped to input some comments blah blah. That friend was me la! hahaha. Seriously gal, I dunno its for me. But really really thks, so thoughtful of you... Now when I use it in sch I'll always be reminded of you... So sweet :P

Vikkie was surprisingly very nice to give me a note & a Carebear too. We only talk at work, nothing like what I do with Gladys, KTS, Jo, Wylin & Jer etc. But since Thurs she sent me nice msgs & told me to take care and stuff.

all this just made me cant bear to leave the place more. Yet somehow I feel, I didn't leave the place at all. Cos I know I'll be keeping in touch with some of the dearest people there (:

was a very impromptu lunch at Secret Recipe, IMM. This time with a new addition to our dept, Vincent! it was so last min that we had to borrow the company pickup, with permission of cos. And lao ban was so nice to ask us to charge the meal to her. It was quite fun to ride in that rickety pickup. The doors creak & stuff... LOL.

Ok, one lasssst thing before I end this long entry. I did a damn reckless thing with Jo last night. We were walking from Cine to Far East for her hair cut, and was about to cross over to HMV side. The traffic light was flashing green... and we decided we'll go for it but quickly cos there's not much people left on the road. So we walked out on the road but within our first two steps or so the traffic light turned red. We were like, shit!!! Cos fri nite there's like so many freakin' cars on the road. And seeing the light turn red I was damn worried that the cars will just zoom across the road like some F1 race. Being a typical Taurus who is risk-adverse, I dragged Jo back, ready to head for the curb.

But Jo screamed and pull me back onto the road, 'What? Run la!!!'

OMG, then the two of us just ran across the road like some crazy primary sch girls released from the sch gates. And when we got across safely to the other side we were laughing at how silly we must have appeared to others. Or crazy maybe.

God, xiao mei makes me feel that being 21 is not so young afterall. But also thankful that I have someone around to remind me that we shld do crazy things once in a while. Let you hair down, gal...

雨天总是带给我很多不一样的感触
当时的心情, 和谁在一起都会影响每一次的体验

很多时候, 雨天会让我超想喝咖啡!
能喝杯热腾腾的咖啡, 捧着爱看的书...这对我来说是个天大的享受 (:
和朋友在咖啡厅聊天也不错!

可是心情不好时, 雨天也会让我闷闷不乐
就好像觉得每个人都呆在自己的伞下, 自己的世界里.
看不见彼此的脸孔, 也摸不透彼此的心情.

你们还习惯我用华语吗? 哈哈. 不知道为什么突然很想用华语...

yay! today is such a great day (: its the first day I'm in such high spirits ever since I started coughing. first, the lecture today was quite good & ended like almost one hour earlier. It could be due to the fact that the lecturer was engaging AND pretty. second, I finally managed to see a doc. its the clinic in sch. So conveniently situated outside my lecture venue that I think I'll regret if I dont go. Cos my cough last night was quite bad.

WOW. turns out that the medicine works wonders. Its really not the psychological effect. Gladys noted that I didn't start coughing even during late afternoon (she once said that when I started coughing non-stop she'll know its almost evening, time to go back soon). I think I can finally slp in peace tonight, woots!

forth, the pay's in! woo!

fifth, tml is friday!

ok, I think I gotta go calm myself down a bit. time to take my med soon. ta-da for now (: shall try to take more pics in the office tml. Its my last last day. really. trust me.

:P

looks like I'm going to have an even slacker timetable. went for my AHSS elective, Working in 21st Century, and I regret choosing it la! I think the module is too heavy for a 3 AU course. Need to interview 4 people & write up a 4000-word report. with a partner. How the hell can I find someone I trust within like 10-20 mins of the lecture time to share the 4000-word burden?!

anyway, 1/2 hr later when the lecturer gave us time to 'socialise & find ourselves a partner' I sneaked off. so i travelled all the way and gave up my half day pay at the office only to sneak out 1/2 hr later =_="" so I dropped it when I was back home. got a gd rest, slept like a pig. Rest is what I need now to recover faster!

back in office, cos most of the GMs are out of town... our already-late pay will gonna be even later. And if one of the two GMs who will be in tml decide to 'attitude' and dont sign... there goes my pay. I wonder when will it be in?

I was actually feeling better today, really! Still coughing of course, but less persistent than ytd. Only thing is that its more painful to cough now. Cos my chest/stomach's aching from the coughs of the previous day. Ouch.

It was only until late afternoon did I doubt if I really was better. The stupid coughs came back. Then Gladys told me abt this night cough/ day cough thingy. That my coughs get more serious not cos I'm not getting better but cos mine is a 'night cough'. Gee... why is there day & night for this. haha.

And I think being sick blurred my senses. George greeted me twice in the morning b4 I could hear him. Jo was talking to me & 'Jenny' became 'Jeremy'... Oh, maybe this is not cos I'm sick. hehe :P and my eyes feel so so tired. My voice is damn nan ting too, hoarse from coughing. I WANNA GET WELL SOON! ):

thks to all those who have asked abt how I was (: I'm more of tired from e coughing, cos at night when I wanna slp... Its difficult. Even when lying on my old couch today. Whenever I am abt to doze off, I get awaken by a few coughs. But its ok... I'm having my medicine regularly. and downing alot of water. so I shld be fine soon!

first day of sch was another messy concoction of emotions. I guess its becos I am still in the working mode. After having 12 weeks of PA, I need to adjust being back to a student again. Mindset that is... It just felt weird to be walking around in NTU grounds, seeing all the excited freshmen roaming abt sch with their facilitators. Then it hit me that TWO YEARS AGOI was like one of them. TWO YEARS LATER I'm a senior roaming abt the grounds, calmly looking for my lecture venue (nvm that I'm like ten mins late) and giving directions to the little ones who look like lost kids.

but I love seeing people I know in school again. Joyce was of cos the first I saw. And I think I'll be meeting thong ler they all for lunch one day. Its so fast... the guys are in their first yr already. Everything kps reminding me of how fast time flies.

Weekend come faster pls!

I just realised how silly I was on Thurs. And I only realised it now. Gee... being sick really makes me more silly. or shld I say stupid.

In any case, I felt so much better though I'm still coughing away. So much so that I thought I shld sit down and just run through my PA report once. BUT. BUT. BUT!!!

I downloaded the copy I completed in the office and sent myself. To realise that... Its a freakin' wrong copy I sent. argh... I somehow sent myself the old one leh, which was like half-done kind. I seriously hope... the one I done is still on the desktop. And not gone somewhere else. Cos I really rem saving every other minute as I dont want to lose my work. Its quite possible cos there was a few occasions where I was called away from my com to do some work.

shucks. tell me its still there. Then dear Wylin can send to me tml when she's in the office.

was hoping that slping more will get me better today, but I sorta woke up with a worse cough. And worse still, da yi ma decided to visit me. of all days, why this?!

mum knocked on my door at 730am cos we nd to go get our passport renewed. *grumble grumble* so yeah, another morning I dragged myself out of bed... I wonder why so suay man, suddenly cough + period and what-not, spoil my wkend plans ): was supposed to go roller-blading with Jer & Gladys & her friends at ECP tml. I think in my condition I most likely cannot make it. And its the last day Jer's in town cos next wk he's flying to BKK with Wylin & Lao Ban for LEAD prog.

oh ya, rem shuhui is sometimes quite merciless when she's sick & everything's not right ok. Just now I was walking up to order wan ton mee for my mum, bro & me and this woman intercepted my way.

"xiao jie, wanton mee dry, 1 pls."

=_=""

excuse me, although I was sick and in my tee-shirt and jeans. I had some makeup on and my hair isn't greasy or oily. Which part of me look like I'm the ordering auntie?!?!?!!?!?!

So ya, with my deadliest stare, I shot back

"Do I look like I'm taking orders? I'm ordering just like you ok?"

Dammit. Super bad mood now, dont mind this grumpy post.

last night was my night out with my colleagues before my last day tml. alright, maybe to avoid confusion let me explain. I only know just now, a while before knocking off, that its confirmed I'll be going back next week to help out when Boss & Wylin are away for LEAD prog. So yep... last night went out with Jeremy, Wylin, Gladys & Koh.




Dinner was at Azabu Sabo at Central in Clarke Quay. Honestly, these few days I've been feeling quite horrible at times. Like early in the morning or late afternn. So yesterday by dinner time I was already quite worn out. Like wad I've told Jeremy today, what I'm doing now is 'gek' and trying as much as possible not to fall sick. Cos its my last few days at work, I dont want to absent myself. So ya, I think after dinner I felt a bit sick... but the whole night was damn fun cos there were alot of private jokes & silly shots captured. OMG. haha, I wont post here la... Don't worry Gladys :P


Brewerkz was quite nice. First time there... they brew their own beer and they also offer quite a wide variety of food. But erm, I was too full. haha, only munched a bit on the fries n wings.

So if you slept late on a Thurs night, you can imagine how was Shuhui like on the following FRIDAY morning. OMG, I almost wanted to just slp and take MC cos I know I jolly well 'qualify' for it. As I was on the morning transport, I somehow took out my camera and looked through last night's photo. Be it the random or silly shots... I smiled there and then on the bus. And for some I had to contain my laughter.

I think that's how much friends can do for you... Just a photo will trigger your memory of some gd times tog. And make ur weary Fri morning suddenly seem much more bearable. And with that thought I suddenly 'emo' la! Its my last day, I reminded myself

=_=" So much for the happy thoughts.

anyway... today, I dunno how but I managed to get past the agonizing hrs of the day. Actually I have no inkling of what Gladys & Wylin they all were doing for me until she like.. guiltily cover up her laptop when I went to take the store keys. And the ear phones, and the music. i sort of pieced everything tog.

BUT. BUT. BUT.

when I saw the video I just cried la, haha. Silly me... Yeah, though I was like 'prepared' for the surprise I guess nothing prepared me for the sweet messages they put in. Omg, then the floodgates opened, Jas also teared. haha... Really, looking through the photos brought back alot of memories. I never ever expected myself to find such great friends for company during my PA... Thanks Wylin & Gladys! Another thing that touched me was the card after I read, somehow they managed to get Lao Ban to write me a msg too la. She was so busy having a meeting with our bosses. How did you gals do it? Sneaked the card in?

In any case, it was a great way to spend my 12 weeks. No break, yes... but its all worth it.

today was... a jumbled up day. emotions mainly.

I think due to my swollen throat and lack of slp, I started my day feeling quite low. Half-dragged myself to work. Then Ms. Tan decided that she'll fall right at the entrance of her company on her 3rd last day at work. And it was such a stupid fall, lol. So much so that she ended up laughing while sitting on the floor (cos she realised how silly she was) while dear Wylin picked her up. OMG!!! hahaha... Its damn embarrassing. Lucky only one of the GM saw cos he's reversing his car in e parking lot nearby. Goodness!

I think after the laugh I felt better. And after a sumptous lunch, its hard not to cheer up. Our Quality Manager's having his last day tml. Then Boss say 'shun bian' farewell for me. Honestly, I dont mind... but I feel paiseh cos... he gotta share the lunch with me. Get what I mean? Anyway, we had a long lunch... By the time we got back, although my throat sort of worsened after that (half the food is either fried or spicy) I think I was in lighter spirits.

Ok, most of the pics are with Gladys cos her phone's cam 5 megapixel. lol. We were snapping away while waiting for the food and Jasmine commented on that. She said that is how different the two generations are. The 'older' ones will just chat and the younger ones find things like cam-whoring to do. But eh, we were mostly just trying to squeeze the 3 of us into the pic.

Although I'll be quite burnt out by tml, I'm still looking fwd to my Thurs cos we'll be having dinner with some colleagues after work... I think it'll be a fun & interesting night. I cant wait to see the reactions I'll get.

Alright, I shall try not to be too irritated by the occasional cough and work hard on submitting my report on time tml for Boss to vet.
