Just some updates about work and play!

Friday was 'end of month' so it was exceptionally busy at work. Had to work OT till 7pm, and there was so many $50 note that I almost couldnt close my cash drawer! And the stacks of $50 amounted to around $10+K. That was my first time handling so much cash, and I felt a sense of achievement when the amounts tallied at the end of the day.

After work on friday, Audrey and the guys came over for mahjong, and we played all the way till 9am on sat. That was the first time I stayed up without sleep for 28hours. We even went out for breakfast after the game, which is quite rare. Usually by 7plus or 8, all should be asleep. Later that day, I had dinner at Soup Restaurant with my mum. Long wait, but nice food!

Yesterday, we went swimming at Audrey's place. It was nice catching up with each other in the pool! But I'm quite badly burnt, my shoulder, forehead and nose is so painful now.

Haven been so blue on a Sunday for quite sometime. And this very stupid question pops up in my mind again. There is 7days in a week, why do we have to work for 5days and only have 2days rest? Thats quite unfair rite. Some countries have already converted to 4working days, or at least 41/2 working days. Will Singapore ever switch to that?

Work is getting slightly more interesting, I'm being trained to be at the counter now, where I take orders from distributors face-to-face. Somehow, I'm more comfortable with direct interaction rather than through the phone.

Work seems to be taking up most of my time now. After work, while many people are making their way to Orchard, I'm dying to leave Orchard and reach home asap. And so my life is just work and sleep. I miss my friends! Girls, lets meet up for dinner soon, and then decide when we should go camping or cycling! :)

This is my baby cousin Aaron. He's so adorable!

First Day at Work

HELP!!!

I dread going to work. I'm feeling exactly like a primary 1 kid, dreading to go to school. Today feels exactly like the first day of school when I was in primary 1. I dunno who my classmates are, I dunno wat lessons I'm gonna have, I dunno wat time is recess time, I dunno if my teacher is fierce or nice, I know nothing about english, chinese or math.

I think I've got quite alot of things to learn at work. So many things to learn, and not only remember, but do it fast and accurate. It doesnt feel good to be at this transition stage, wanting to do things fast yet I'm unsure of many things and I'm so afraid to make mistakes.

* I hope things will get better tomorrow.

Hi people!

Last monday we went cycling, today we played badminton. It seems like we're getting healthier huh? I didnt know sports could be that fun. But then again, I think I need some time to adjust. Last week my arm muscles hurt, today my thigh muscles hurts even more. Tomorrow when I wake up, I'm expecting other parts of my body to ache as well. Thats the consequence of not exercising regularly. :(

Ok, I promise I'll try my best to exercise regularly. I'm really sick of having aches here and there. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to camping with you guys. I bet its gonna be fun!

Cycling

Badminton and dinner

Thats a Happy Family!

Dream Come True

Wow!!! I'm so happy today, cos I went shopping and bought 2 tops and a watch! Its been quite sometime since I bought clothes!

As for the watch, recently I've taken a liking for MontBlanc watches. There's this show whereby the guy is so sweet that he promise to give his girlfriend his MontBlanc watch if she could pass her lawyer qualification test. I think the watch looks good both on guys and girls, and I like it because it is simple, it has a round and white face, with a black leather strap. With the word MONTBLANC on the face of the watch, it looks so classy and nice! As yet, I cant afford a real MontBlanc watch, so I could only get a similar one. Strictly speaking, its not similar la. Its far from the real thing. It is just a very simple one which also has a white face and black, fake leather strap. But at this stage of my life, I'm already satisfied with this fake yet similar looking one. When I start working, I'll wanna save up to get myself a real MontBlanc watch!

And since I'm at this topic of unrealizable dream, take a look at this:

Isnt Mini Cooper cool? Yup, its my dream car! Its very suitable for girls, so small, cool and nice! If I could afford, I'll want to own it in the future!

Life will only be meaningful if we have hopes and dreams, and when we have something to work towards to or have aims to achieve. It pushes us to work hard and I believe its gonna be a great feeling to achieve something we've been wanting so much to achieve.

While many of my friends dun like the idea of growing up, I'm actually looking forward to being an adult and instead of getting pocket money from my parents, I think it will be just as nice if I could be the one giving them pocket money!

I intended to put up 2 pictures of us playing mahjong today, but after uploading I realised that my Dad and my brother didnt wear shirt, so better not. I dunno wat my brother will do to me if he sees himself topless in my blog!

We went for DimSum today morning to celebrate Mother's Day for my grandma and then we went to her house for mahjong again. I didnt win any money again, but had lots of fun and laughed too much that I'm really tired now.

I'm enjoying the simple and stress-free life I'm leading now, and I really love spending time with my family every sunday. I'm wondering whether things will remain the same, when my brother and I get older, will we still take time out every Sunday to visit my Grandma, or will we be so busy with our own work and life that we'll only visit her on special occasions? Will we still play mahjong together and laugh off the sunday afternoon?

Wonderful friends!

Holiday Time!

My exams are over!

I had a very good 12-hour sleep last night. We had to go to my grandma house for lunch, if not I could have slept even more. And I had a great day at my grandma's. I've been yearning for home-cooked food, and finally got to eat them today. Then it was a round of mahjong with my grandma, uncle and my Dad. It was fun cos I won! Too bad it was a friendly match and so I didnt get to earn that $10. Spending time with family is the best thing to do!

Adeline introduced me a job, and I'm going for interview tomorrow. Although I'll want to find a job soon, I actually hope to have a few more days, or even another week to relax and just do nothing. Shall see how it goes!

Enjoy the holiday! :)

Hi everyone!

Just a short update cos I need a break from FM. all the bonds and interest rates are making me crazy! and I'm getting so bored in hall because I only get to see sarah, sarah, and sarah again. and she's always sleeping! haha.. when it comes to lunch or dinner time, its just cant 1, cant 2, cant 1 or cant 2.

While I'm looking forward to monday, I think I'll miss my hostel room. will be moving out very soon, and I doubt we will get back the same room next sem. Its been great staying in hall with sarah, especially during the exam period when we study together, seeing each other so much that we get so sick of each other. And also the times we laugh so crazily at silly things.

I've thought of many things to do during the holidays! I shall prepare the list after monday, gotta go back to calculate interest rates now.. All the best to those still having exams!

3 more to go..

My accounting paper is over!!

Sad to say, after being a student for so many years, I still suck at spotting questions. Haha. I'll better stop trying my luck, and study everything obediently.

30th April is coming soon.. Everyone, hang on there!

I have many thoughts running in my mind right now, but I find it difficult to express them in words.. After a series of events, I've learnt my lesson. After almost a year in uni, I'm still so gullible, believing every single word people tell me. Its getting scarier and more stressful in business, where everyone gets such good results. And those are the people who have been constantly complaining to you that they dont understand this and that. At the end of the day, I'm the only one failing my test while everyone gets high marks. When I try to recall the things they have been telling me, and I try to piece it with their results, it doesnt match at all.

Its not that I dont know fake people are over the place, I just dont know they can fake it so well. And experiencing it yourself is different from hearing other's experience. I thought I'm already well-prepared for such an environment, yet it isnt so.

Recalling the times in JC, when we say we dont understand something, all of us really dont understand and the whole class really fail the test together. Maybe I'm too used to that and havent adjusted to this new environment. Its ok, we are constantly learning from our mistakes and I think its not too late for me to experience this now. I still have 2 more years in uni, and I'm very sure I wont fall into anyone's trap anymore.

But then again, there are still nice people around, helping and encouraging me when I'm down. It gets very tiring when we have to be wary of everyone around us, but I dont think I have a choice, I have to start practising from now.

I couldnt get to sleep for the past 2 nights. Insomnia will be the greatest torture since sleeping is the only activity that I look forward to. I'm not too sure if its the exam stress setting in. I dun think so, cos 1 month is not short enough to scare me yet. But losing sleep and other symptoms, such as getting irritated easily seems to show something.

And ya, we have to decide on our specialisation soon. Its gonna be a tough decision cos this choice is gonna determine wat I'll be studying for the rest of my uni life and most probably decide which career I'm going into. Career? Didnt realise it was so near. I'm just not confident that I'll make a good choice for myself at this point in time. I suck at making decisions. I dunno wat I want in life. I dunno wat I'm good at. I dun even know why I'm here.

Love is so fragile?

Is this some break-up season? One by one, so many couples around me are breaking up. So love is fragile afterall. and break-up seems like a small issue. when problems arise, no effort is made to solve the problem or no time is taken to talk things out. I've always thought that its difficult to fall for someone, at the right timing, with the right person, with right feelings. So why are these people not cherishing what they have and not putting in effort to sustain that hard-to-come-by relationship?

Affairs of the heart is always so vexing.. its a blessing in disguise not to have a boyfriend. yet.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!!!!!

I'm enjoying my new year! Love meeting up with relatives and catching up with them! and also, love Blackjack and Mahjong, esp when I win money!

The smiling pig is welcoming u to a new year blessed with good luck, good health and happiness! May all your dreams come true and have a GREAT year ahead!

Love is all around..

Valentine's Day - I guess its a sweet and memorable day for many couples out there. From the number of bouquets I see in Ntu, and judging from the crowd at Jp during dinnertime, I've seen how important Valentine's Day is to those dating couples. Its a day to feel love, not necessarily from your partner, but may be from friends as well. Its a day where everyone can get involved, even if u're not attached, u can still get some love from your friends!

In the afternoon, there was a competition at Canteen B. The guys would carry their gfs and the couple who can sustain for the longest period of time will win the competition. when i saw how twisted those guy's body became, i laughed quite loudly! and one of the guy's leg was shaking so badly.. haha. though i had a real good laugh, i nearly cried when the champion was out. At that moment, it was very touching!

I can't believe it. I rejected my Dad's offer to drive me home today.

I have no more lessons for this week, but I need to stay in hall to complete next week's tutorial before going home for the long weekend. If I go home today, I know all tutorials will be left undone till sunday night again. The past 3 days were really bad, sleeping time reduced to 4-5 hours per day just because I have to rush all my tutorials. I'm really sick and tired of doing last minute work. Last sem shall not repeat itself.

I think I know where the motivation is from. Seeing my friends getting all As and Bs for last sem is scaring me. I need to buck up.

Finally, on 17-01-07,

My first week of school lasted only 2 days. On wednesday I skipped the career talk and went home earlier. Thursdays and fridays are my free days, so that's it. I'm very satisfied with my timetable this sem, its nice having thursdays and fridays free. But on the other hand, it takes alot of self-discipline to be able to make good use of my free days, especially when its such a long weekend.

It was actually nice going to school again, because only school can put a stop to my very-unhealthy lifestyle during the holidays. For this following sem, I think I'm going to be very healthy, since lessons begin at 830 everyday. Talking about being healthy, I've been putting in extra effort to try to exercise more, but my aim of swimming at least once a week could not be achieved because of the bad weather. My swimming bag is going to be on standby now, I'll see if its really going to rain every day.
















Serena is back from Australia! Went to swensons for lunch and then watched 'Night at the Museum'. There is something I dun understand, whenever I watch movie with Serena, I'll fall asleep. Previously, I fell asleep when she forced me to watch Star Wars and Harry Potter with her. Today's movie was a comedy, but I still fell asleep for a while. Girl, I promise I'll break the trend next year when you're back again! take good care!

Haven got time to blog everyday, so here are some pictures..
