Yesterday was the last day of my voluntary work at WSC.. Had lots of fun the past 1 year, and of cos a great sense of achievement to be involved in voluntary work. Its really fun being with the kids.. the day we played games in Ntu, when we went to Mushroom farm together, etc. But honestly, ever since I started work, I've got very little time for myself, and the last few times I've been dragging myself to the sessions. Decided to take a break for now and settle down at work first. As I've mentioned before, staying committed is never easy.. In the future when I can manage my time better, I'll definitely take part in some form of voluntary work again..

My kid made this star for me - Teacher's day and farewell gift.
And a little gift from family service centre..
Such a beautiful cake.. For Melvin.

Laughing Gor 之变節

This show is so nicee!! The cast is so good.. Its already worth it going to the cinema for them - 謝天華, 黃秋生, 吳鎮宇, 黃日華, 曾志偉, 元彪. I'm cant wait to watch it again.. when I find the canto version online.. :)

Had lunch with my uncle today, then he had to rush off to run some errands.. So I bought some fruits and went to sit by the river. Its surprisingly peaceful there, everyone was just standing around, smoking, daydreaming, and there were tourists taking pictures.. Just a street across and the things people do are so different.

If I had a choice, I would still prefer a simple and carefree life.. free from competition, politics, gossips, selfishness, and fake people..

Anyway, Happy Birthday to my Daddy! I love him so much!!! :)

Childhood Memories

I was having a nap on my grandma's bed this afternoon and I saw this..

Looks like some old and worn out soft toy?

Of cos it looks worn out, I think it was already around when I was just a few years old. So its been around for 10over years.. but soft toys wont hang around that long.

Its actually the blanket I've been using since I was a kid! I'll take very long to fold and zip up my blanket everyday but I dun wanna change cos its so cute.

Its amazing how my grandma still keeps alot of our childhood stuffs all over the place.. u just have to be observant to find it.

And coincidentally, there's also my childhood favourite breakfast! Super nicee!!

I treasure my uni frens alot.. cos its really just the few of them. And we've all started work, keeping in touch is difficult, making an effort to arrange and meet up is even harder..

Anyway, ION orchard is irritating. Find it really hard to get to places we want to, or even look for restaurants that we wanna settle down at. But they have nice posters for pics.. so nvm.

Woohoo, I'm blogging from my E71. Cool! You may think I'm outside, but I'm in my room la. Trying out if wireless works. Cool, now I can blog while I'm lying on my bed. This week I'm stationed at tamp instead of raffles, and its like going from heaven to hell. Work till 830 this two nights, so tiring! Tell u all more next time, I wanna go sleep now, gd nite!

I have a simple wish.. hope I can knock off early tmr, cos afterall, its a friday.

Happy friday!

Simple Pleasures

Do you know wat are some of the simple pleasures in life? I read this from my company's magazine and would like to share some. Tell me how many you would like to achieve after you've read. I hope to work towards all of them gradually!

1) Rise Early
Instead of snoozing your alarm so many times, try waking up 10 or 15mins earlier, either do some stretching, sit down to have breakfast, or simply spend some time preparing for the day ahead.

2) Explore and Experience
Dun sit infront of the com for hours. Try some outdoor activities or engage in some fun sport during the weekends or after work. Work towards a healthy lifestyle.

3) Deal with Detractors
Ignore negative people. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who shares your vision and dreams.

4) Boost your Brain Power
Try things like crossword puzzles, Sudoku etc for good mental workouts. The brain games will increase mental abilities like processing speed and reaction time.

5) Lose an Argument
Instead of winning all the time, seek to understand from a different perspective. You'll be much happier.

6) Start with a Smile
Smiling makes you feel better, relieves stress and can increase efficiency of your immune system. It will also release feel-good chemicals called endorphins into your blood stream to lift your mood.

7) Build an Emergency Fund
Always be prepared for life's uncertainties. Be realistic, start small and find savings plan that fits your lifestyle so you'll have the confidence to face any challenges.

8) Find Time to Meditate
Quiet time alone helps to relax and bring calmness to the body.

9) Retire Early
With a sound investment portfolio and a well-thought out plan, this is achievable.

This aside, all of us should also have things to make ourself happy. I derive alot of pleasure from watching my dramas and catching Moses on twitter! Finally discovered the good of twitter!

Wanna share this nice song by Rod Stewart.. been listening to it recently. Move to 3.30 to listen to 'Its a heartache'.

Hey how's everyone? I'm here to say, ITS FRIDAY!!!!

I'm doing great at work, didnt learn much yet, just abit here and there. Work aside, I really like my environment and the colleagues. They're very happening, we've been celebrating birthdays this week and been eating cakes. Yesterday was my big boss' birthday, we gave him a surprise, together with the tampines colleagues through video conference. It was really heartwarming. Today we're having some gathering too, shall blog about it soon..

Today is special.. at 12.34pm and 56sec, the time and date forms 12.34.56 07/08/09.

Enjoy the looong weekend!

The new phase

Last week was quite an important one cos I had my convo on monday, and the next day I officially started work. It marks the beginning of a new phase of my life..

I didnt had much to do at work for the first week, but so far the colleagues are quite nice and easy to get along with. I hope it stays that way..

Caught up with Jy and rah tonight.. realised T3 is quite a nice place to shop and chill, and its so near our place!

Hahaha, the smile of the year!
Damn good at acting busy.

My precious weekend is gone just like that.. update soon when I'm free!
