Sixth Sense

Sometimes I am just amazed with my sixth sense. When I was leaving the ktv, I was thinking that maybe I should take the wet tissue (left in the room) in case I may need it later or what. And know what? The next moment, I actually fell down and that's when I needed the wet tissue. Argh. Why is it that things just can't go according to my way? I stood up immediately on my own and I did not cry. I always told myself that whenever I fell down, I would always stand up on my own and no matter how pain was the fall, I would not cry. You may say that I am trying to put on a brave front, well, I just don't like people to see the weak side of me. This applies to "falling down" in life. I would stand up on my own.

Well, the good thing is, as compared to my previous fall at east coast park in which I could not walk at all, this was simply a minor fall. Just some scratches.

(As I was writing this entry, my wound was bleeding as I just torn out some of the dead skin. OUCH. )

Time flies when you are having fun. My 3 days of break is going to end! Argh. I simply can't imagine that I have to go to work tomorrow. Why can't we have 15 days of holidays for Chinese New Year? Afterall, it's our MAJOR festival and we are CHINESE.

Whatever it is, it's a brand new year. Whatever had happened, it's in the past. I should move on and welcome the new year with an open heart. Like what Celene had smsed me last night, What cannot break us will only make us stronger. We'll emerge stronger one day.

To all my friends, the same old angie which you had known earlier on is coming back. Just give me time. I'm sure I can be happy. And I would be the same angie all over again.

Happy Chinese New Year!

As usual, my whole family woke up super early this morning to go to temple to pay respects to my ancestors. And know what? Early in the morning on the first day of Chinese New year, one of my aunties actually commented that I look much fatter! -_- I know that I have put on weight, but to hear it from a third party is still very depressing and heartbreaking! And I feel inspired to lose weight before I meet this auntie again at my sis wedding dinner! Hmph! I will be skinny Angie once again!

After eating all the crackers and love letters as our breakfast, all of them came to my house for a pure vegetarian reunion lunch. Every year, I would look forward to eat the crispy "prawn roll" which is freaking nice. It's limited edition as my auntie would only make this "prawn roll" once in a year. This is the time in which my mum and the aunties would prepare the food while the "kids" would watch TV together.

This year, all of our attention is on my nephew -Marc



It's amazing that my brother seems to be able to establish good rapport with Marc. Marc likes my brother so much that he just sticks to him for quite some time and he refuses to come close to me!



Handsome Marc & Me. This is the closest I could do. He just doesn't seem to like me.



Anyway, after all of my relatives had left the house, I went to take a nap. It's a tradition for me to take a nap after reunion lunch on chu yi. I was not born in the year of pig for nothing. Haha. It was a wonderful nap with no disturbance. Haha. Afterwhich, I went to meet up with my buddy, David. We had a great chat at Macs. All in all, it was really great meeting him as I have not seen him for quite some time. He seems to have slimmed down a lot, maybe I should ask him for some slimming tips.

By the way, my bf is currently not in Singapore to spend this long holidays with me. So, if you guys are bored, remember to ask me out! Heehee.

I want to be happy all over again

I know I shouldn't be crying on the first day of Chinese New Year, but reading one of my friend's blog just got me crying. I was very touched by his blog, really.

Quoted from his blog,

"This post is dedicated to my friend Angeline. Its not been long since I last saw her, but she din look as carefree as before. She was the happiest friend I ever had, and theres nothing more than I want to see her happy (sounds funny, as if I like her). Hmm what I meant is whenever I feel down in school sometimes, seeing her will chase the worries and sadness away. Projects with her was never dull. Her smile has that power. I wana see that smile again."

This entry really strikes me that I'm really not that happy anymore. I mean, when I met up with him the other time, I was all smiling, yet he could sense that I was not that happy after all. In fact, he's not the only person who has said that I just don't seem to be as happy as before.

It's true that money simply just can't buy happiness. I was much poorer back in school days, yet I was really happy at that time. Even when I failed my tests or did badly for my presentation, I would be in smiles again the very next day.

Adrian, Thanks for believing in me. I really appreciate it.

It's Chinese New Year Again

It's Chinese New Year Eve today!

After work, I rushed back home to have my reunion lunch today. I know it's weird to have reunion lunch, but my family is special mah. I also can't remember when did we start to have reunion lunch instead of reunion dinner. Anyway, it was totally a wonderful lunch with my family. I really treasure this annual reunion lunch as my family seldom has the chance to eat together other than those important occasion. It's my family's tradition to make some dumplings in which my mum would put a golden coin in one of the dumplings. And know what? I've gotten this golden coin this year. haha. I'm going to have good luck this year for sure!

Anyway, I went to Celene's place for some reunion dinner yesterday. Her mum was really very nice to cook us a lot of wonderful food. And I like the emperor chicken in particular. It's super nice! I really enjoyed the dinner. After dinner, what else can we do other than drinking? It's scaring me that for now, drinking seems to be some kind of SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) for us. We just can't seem to party without our BEST FRIEND, Chivas. By the way, we did something really crazy. We actually turned off the lights in her room and we started dancing to the hip hop songs. Damn happening, right? It's quite fun actually. In fact, this is a very cheap way to "club". We drank the Chivas which Jo had brought and the mixer (green tea) which we bought from 7-11. In the end, we stayed at Celene's place till 3+ and we actually finished the bottle of Chivas...

And I'm feeling very tired now. I have this slight headache since yesterday afternoon and it just won't go away. Maybe it's a sign that I should sleep VERY early today and have a good rest for this CNY.

I simply love Chinese New Year!

Life

I'm starting to dread growing up. As you grow up, things change. People change. Everything would change. And you start to see the ugly side of people, the ugly side of life. Sometimes, it's best that you do not get to know so much. Ignorance is bliss. The more I know, the more upset I would be. So what's the point of knowing so much? The truth would only hurt you more.

I told myself that I would no longer be affected by such matters. Then why is it that it still hurts so much to know the truth? Why can't I just forget about it and move on? Why does it mean so much to me? Sigh. I just feel that if I do not untie this knot of mine, I will never be able to move on.

Whatever it is, Chinese New Year is coming and I really want to have a happy CNY. I guess I should just stop thinking of all these stuff.

Getting Married! Are you kidding me?

I'm only 22+.

Can you believe that one of my friend, who is at the same age as me is getting married? I simply can't believe it! Though I keep telling my friends that I want to get married this year, I have to admit that I'm not ready for marriage. So, I can't figure out why would anyone at my age wants to get married? Whatever it is, it's their life. I wish them a blissful marriage. =p Afterall, marriage is a happy affair.

Anyway, Chinese New Year is finally coming! This is simply my favourite festival of the year. I can look forward to good food, mahjong, house visiting and lots of fun! It's a time for family reunion and meeting up with old friends as well. I simply can't wait for Saturday to come.

Shopping

Ever since I had started working, I would always look forward to my off day. I would say my off day is well spent today as I had a great time shopping! I bought some dresses for CNY and some really nice presents for Valentine's Day.

Unfortunately, I had a slight headache for the whole day and I kept feeling dizzy. If not, it would have been a perfect day.


Anyway, I'm going to sleep soon. I'm feeling so tired man.

To those who are feeling down, do remember that Life is like a coin, you can spend it any way you want but you can only spend it once. You do have the choice to lead the life you want. To be happy or not, it's up to you. No matter how bad it seems, it could always be worse. I really hope that you will live your life happily, just like before.

Drinking Session II

While drinking with my boss last night, we had a good talk. He's really a good boss as I could feel that he cares for me. Now, I finally understand why is it that his ex-pfcs used to work for him, and not for themselves. Somehow, I feel inspired to work WITH him and to work really hard FOR him.

I told my boss that I was never a FAILURE. In schooling days, I was always an achiever in everything, be it ECAs or studies. I would always make sure that whatever I do, I will make myself proud. Similarly, I want to make myself proud in ocbc.

I want to go to cluster meeting, with my head raised high up, and not dragging my feet to go for cluster meeting for fear that the CM would shoot my sales figures. I want to go to roadshows, knowing that I would definitely close rps and lump sum. I want Compass Point to be No 1 branch and I want to be No 1. All these are possible. All I need now is to build up my confidence level.

Anyway, I also met Michael, who was previously from ocbc. Jo told me that he was a legend in ocbc as his sales was freaking good. He told me quite a lot of stuff and it was really talking to him. I do feel kinda inspired by him. Before we left the place, I remembered that Michael said this to me, "There's no lousy products in this world, there's only lousy salesperson."

How true. If you keep telling yourself that it's a lousy product, naturally, it will be a lousy product.

Happy Birthday to Daddy

My dad had a birthday party at some ktv on Sunday. I realize that my dad's friends were quite happening as they were singing and dancing throughout the whole party. For your information, most of them know how to dance cha-cha man. My mum is super cute as she always tells me that I should be good in dancing since I always go to "disco" to dance. Little did my mother know that my kind of dancing in pubs is definitely a different league from theirs. Haha. I guess my mum would be horrified to see my so-called dancing moves if she were to go clubbing with me one day.

There are limited photos as Yukai's camera went dead before my dad cut the cake. In the end, we had to resort to my 2 megapixels camera phone.



Happy Birthday to my Daddy. It's a very nice fruit cake, bought by my dad's friends. When my dad was cutting the cake, I kept on telling him that I wanted strawberry. Know what? His friend came over to me and gave me a slice of cake with strawberry. I feel like a spoilt brat. Ops.



My wonderful sis & Me. Check up her watch, Mother of Pearl. My sis always complains that I don't put her photos online, so I shall put this photo on my blog! Haha.



A very blurred family photo. I know it's very dark and blurred, but this is the only family photo that was taken using my camera phone. I seriously don't understand why must the camera be dead when we needed it the most?

Last of all, Happy Birthday to Daddy!

Ramblings

Make a guess when was this photo taken?



In 2002?

In 2003?

In 2004?

Well, it was taken just one year ago. It's amazing, isn't it? My sis said that I look so young and naive in this photo, but it was only taken 1 year ago. What has happened to my happy, youthful look? Or maybe it's just my hairstyle which makes me look younger?

------

Anyway, it was a turbulent night for me last night. I felt really down. I didn't want to go out as I didn't want to see my boss, who was drinking with my friends. It was only when my boss had left, then I went to meet them for ktv. Apparently, they had a talk with my boss about me. Jo was telling me that I shouldn't give up as my boss had told her that he wanted to pull me out of the servicing shit. I felt really touched, yet at the same time, I felt lost. He may wants to help me, but seriously, what he can do to help me is limited as well. It all depends on me. Once, I went to temple to ask for a lot. It was a good lot and it says that there would be a saviour in 2006 to save me. Is it my boss? Maybe. If only, I have met him earlier, things could be so different.

I really appreciate my friends for giving me a good hug when I needed them the most. Thanks. I'm not going to cry anymore. And I mean it.

Confession

My dear friends, I have a confession to make.

I know I have told you guys that I'm going to stay happy no matter what happens. But, it's just not going to work. I have no idea what's up with me as well. Most of the time, I am happy. But there are times in which depression will just sink in. There was even once in which a great surge of depression just sank in and I started to sms celene and my bf, telling them to meet me. At that moment, all I needed from them was a hug.

I really don't want to be this way. I would always want people to remember that I am a happy-go-lucky angie and not a pathetic, depressing angie. You may ask me, so what's bothering me? Well, I can't really pinpoint anything. All I know, it's an accumulation of events happening to me, accumulation of mean insulting remarks passed at me, accumulation of confused emotions going through me. I really hate this kind of angie.

Many of my friends have been telling me that I must learn to be selfish. I'm not trying to imply that I am a saint or what, but the word "selfish" is never in my dictionary. I hate those people who are selfish and I would never want to be one as well.

Well, I guess I am just stupid. I simply live in my simple angie's world.

"The truly important things in this life have absolutely nothing to do with work, money or how nice your car or house is. It's time to start paying attention to the things that matter rather than giving them lip service."

MOS II

I went MOS with some of my colleagues in ocbc last night. Anyway, we ordered 8 jugs of drinks but after finishing the drinks, I felt as if I had just drank jugs and jugs of orange juice. That's all. As I was telling Jo, I had never been so sober for a long long time. Haha. But, we got really high on music. The music was damn good and we really danced to the max. It was damn fun. If I didn't have to work the other day, I would have stayed all the way. Oh ya my boss was super happening man and he was dancing with us for the whole night! I was indeed very amazed and I kept telling my boss that I like him as he is a very HIP boss sia. If you ever see him dancing, you wouldn't believe that he is my boss. Haha.

But then again, after one whole night of fun, I felt like shit in branch today. No energy at all and I get irritable easily. And now, I'm feeling damn tired! I guess I should just sleep early tonight to rest well totally. I really need to be very focused tomorrow. RP, RP and nothing else.

Anyway, I have been reading my horoscope from LIFE lately and it's freaking me out. Though you may say that it's foolish to believe in such things, but it's really very accurate... Oh well.



Jo, Theresa, Angie

Being loved is like waiting for a bus

I stumble upon this entry when I was surfing my multiply account this morning. And I find it to be quite interesting...

Dear friends , Please spend 1 minute to read this, it's very meaningful.

When the bus come, you look at it and you said to yourself, "eeee... so full...cannot sit down one". So you said to yourself, "I'll wait for the next one." so you let the bus go and waited for the second bus.

Then the second bus came, you looked at it and you said, "eeee...this bus so old...surely very uncomfortable one." So you let the bus go and decided to wait for the next bus.

After a while, another bus came. It's not crowded and not old but you said, "eeee... no air-con one...and the weather is so warm, better wait for the next one." So again you let the bus go and decided to wait for the next bus.

Then the sky started to get dark as it is getting late. You panicked and jump on to the next on coming bus. It is not until much later that you found out that you had boarded on to the wrong bus!

So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you want!

Even if an aircon bus came, can you ensure that the aircon bus won't break down or will the aircon be too cold for you?

So people...(mostly girls but guys too!) want to make sure that what you want is not wrong. But it wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance, right? If you found that the "bus" doesn't suit, you just press the red button and get off the bus!

But wait...I am sure all of you have this experienced before. You saw a bus is coming (the bus you want of course) you flagged it and the driver acted blur by pretending not seeing you and zoomed pass you!

The bottom line of being loved is like waiting for a bus and whether you want to get on the bus and give the bus a chance depends totally on you and walking alone is just like being out of love.

If you love someone set him/her free. If he/she comes back to you, you know they're yours. If they don't then it was never meant to be. Remember to always say what you mean.

If you love someone, tell. Don't be afraid to express yourself.

Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time, it might be too late. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.

Pass this along to your friends. It could make a difference.

The difference between doing all that you can or having regrets which may stay with you forever. Friendship is never an accident. It is always the result of high intentions, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution. It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

And remember.... Keep Smiling....coz... "Of All Things You Wear, Your Smile Is As love returns to me, As I return to you, As love returns to us.

Why has all my money gone?

Why is it that I always feel so poor despite getting my pay for the month? Something must be very wrong with me. There are millions of things I want to buy or spend on myself, but it just seems that I always don't have enough money to do that. Why is it so? But then again, I am quite determined to set aside a certain amount of money for savings this month, so I guess I got to control my spending no matter what.

Things I want to buy or spend on myself:
1. Camera
2. At least 2 sets of new clothes for CNY
3. A new pair of specs
4. L'oreal Powdery Melting Foundation
5. Facial treatment
6. Manicure & Pedicure
7. Eyebrow threading

8. And many other things...

Today is my off day, but it's kinda sad as nobody is really free to go out with me. Luckily, Celene would be taking off next tuesday, so I would have a companion for shopping . Yeah. As for today, I guess I should just rest at home in the morning and go back office to look for oppty to close rp. I am desperate for rp. Am I not hungry enough? Sigh. I'm ready to be bombed by boss tonight. Sigh.

I'm a bitch

I am freaking irritated with my ex-boss. She is just a bitch man. Whenever she talks to me, I must be prepared that she is going to make some sarcastic remarks to me. I feel damn insulted when she said that to me. I have never felt so insulted before can! Call herself a bm? What the hell. To me, she is just a bitch.

------

Anyway, I read this article from CLEO (pg 68) and I find it very interesting. Think that I'm leading an unhealthy lifestyle, read on.

7 Bad habits That Are Sooo Good for you!

Bad Habit #1
SLEEPING IN
Makes you look like bona fide slacker
==> But you're actually keeping weight off

Bad Habit #2
POPPING THE PILL
Makes you look like you're planning on being promiscuous
==> But you're actually reducing your cancer risk

Bad Habit #3
BEING QUARRELSOME
Makes you look like a bitch
==>But you're actually doing your heart a favour

Bad Habit #4
BEING "KIASU"
Makes you look like a competitive workaholic
==> But you're actually driving down your pressure

Bad Habit #5
SKIPPING THE GYM
Makes you look like fitness slob
==> But you're actually making your next workout count better

Bad Habit #6
GOSSIPING
Makes you look like, well, a gossip
==> But you're actually keeping your emotions stable

Bad Habit #7
DRINKING AT MEALS
Makes you look like an alcoholic
==> But you're actually protecting yourself from food poisoning

It's interesting, isn't it? I can even show you that article if you want. haha.

On a lighter note, why is it that all the girls in the whole world seems to have slimmed down, except me? It's so frustrating man. I seriously want to slim down, yet I just keep putting on weight. What has gone wrong? My diet? My unhealthy lifestyle? I guess I must start jogging every night from today onwards. I want to be skinny Angie and not Fatty Angie!

Kelly's Wedding

When you start to receive wedding invitation from your friends, it's a sign that you are getting old.

Anyway, I attended my ex-colleague's wedding last night. It was very grand and the food was delicious! Everything is just so romantic and sweet. Super Gan(3) Dong(1). As I was watching their wedding videos, I was trying to picture how's my wedding is going to be like? Will it be very grand or just a simple affair? Will all my friends and relatives be there to celebrate the special occasion with me? I can't wait to get married! Haha. Just kidding.



The happy bride, Kelly and her husband



The Best Friends



The Early Birds - Happening Mummy, Me, Ailing & Jo. We were one of the few who actually came to the ballroom way before 8pm.



Sweet Theresa with Jo. Nice shot.

4Ps

What it takes to be a good sales person?

You must have 4Ps.

PRIDE, PASSION, PERFORMANCE, PERSISTENCE

My boss gave all of us an inspirational talk last night when branch had closed. One thing I like about my boss is that he emphasizes on TEAM WORK. To me, I always think that team work is important in an organization but somehow or rather, teamwork is non-existent in sales line at times. Everybody fights for their own rights and numbers. Can there ever be team work in my branch?

Maybe. Just like I was quite touched when my colleagues actually passed a potential rp customer to me today. Though I didn't manage to close that customer, I really appreciate their effort of passing that oppty to me. To say the truth, though there are many horror stories about my branch, I do enjoy working at Compass Pt and I love my colleagues. My SM has been really very nice to me all this while and she always tries to encourage me to fight on. Jo, my favourite party friend, is always there to listen to my complaints and whenever I feel depressed or what, she would definitely cheer me up. Even my CSM, BOs and my SAs have been taking good care of me all this while. My Cisco is always there to cheer me up as well. I couldn't ask for more. To say the truth, I really wish to stay in Compass Point, but will I have the chance to stay on after February? I really don't know.

Once, Jo raised her right hand up and asked me,"Angie, how many fingers do you see?" I told her 6 fingers at that moment but in fact, all I saw was a blurred vision. When will I ever be able to look beyond the 5 fingers?

Meaningful Poem

A nice poem which I had gotten from ade's blog.

"Have you ever noticed
That the worst way to miss someone
Is when they are right beside you
And yet you can never have them...
When the moment you can't feel them under your fingertips
You miss them?

Have you ever wondered
Which hurts the most;
Saying something and wishing you had not,
Or not saying something and wishing you had?

I guess the most important things
Are the hardest to say.
They are the things you get ashamed of
Because words diminish them,
Words shrink things that seemed timeless when they were in your head
To no more than living size when they are brought out...

Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them.
If you do, they might break your heart...
But if you don't, you might break theirs...

Have you ever decided not to become a couple
Because you were so afraid of losing
What you already had with that person?

Your heart decides who it likes and who it doesn't.
You can't tell your heart what to do.It does it on its own...
When you least suspect it,
Or even when you don't want it to.

Have you ever wanted to love someone
With everything you had,
But that other person
Was too afraid to let you?

Too many of us stay walled
Because we are too afraid to care too much...
For fear that the other person does not care as much,
Or at all.

Have you ever loved someone
And they had absolutely no idea whatsoever?
Or fell for your best friend in the entire world,
And then sat around and watched her fall for someone else?

Have you ever denied your feelings for someone
Because your fear of rejection
Was too hard to handle?

We tell lies when we are afraid...
Afraid of what we don't know,
Afraid of what others will think,
Afraid of what will be found out about us.
But every time we tell a lie...
The thing we fear grows stronger.

Life is all about risks and
It requires you to jump.
Don't be a person who has to look back
And wonder what they would have,
Or could have had.
No one waits forever..."

Drinking Session

I was feeling real down yesterday and desperately wanted to do something happening. Don't know if I am addicted to drinking or what, I just feel like going somewhere to drink. In the end, we went drinking with our happening CSM last night. We had a heart to heart talk with my CSM. In fact, I feel super flattered when my CSM told me that I should become CSM instead. This comment means a lot to me as my CSM is one who does not praise someone often. But then again, my boss has already told me that it doesn't matter if I am good in operational stuff, ultimately sales figures is what it matters. Sigh.

Anyway, I must say my CSM is a good drinker man. She can drink Chivas with no mixer, purely with ice and water! She is super dare can. The problem is, my CSM likes to talk rubbish when she is high. Apparently, she smsed and talked a lot of nonsense to my boss. And she could not remember what did she sms to my boss. I guess I should just delete my boss hp no if she ever gets drunk again.

I think my whole branch is crazy. They are thinking of going either Insomnia or MOS next Wednesday. Very happening, isn't it? Somemore we are having our cluster meeting next Wednesday, so all of us can go clubbing earlier as compared to normal days in which we had to stay till 9+ for teleconsulting. From their past experience, whenever they go to Insomnia, all would be gone by 12am. Hmm... Can you imagine all of us are going to work as usual on the very next day. haha. How interesting. Anyway, this clubbing session is part of the team building program under the new boss. =p

Rain Rain Rain

Jo and I were getting all ready to go jogging just now when it just suddenly rained! WTH. I really wanted to jog tonight as I feel damn fat lately. My gigantic tummy is already jutting out like nobody's business. Well, maybe it was just not meant to be. When I was teleconsulting, I was still comtemplating should I go jogging as I wasn't feeling well today. I had diarrhoea, coupled with flu and dizziness. After thinking and worrying so much, I couldn't jog eventually. WTH. Maybe God didn't want me to die early, that's why it rained so that I couldn't go jogging.

It had been raining non stop for so many days. When will my sun be back? Rainy days just give people a sense of depression, isn't it?

Anyway, I can foresee my branch to be very busy tomorrow as there will be many customers asking for new $2 dollars notes and ang pows. Sigh. Will there be any oppty? I hope so.

Since it's raining, I guess I should just sleep early. Hopefully, I can wake up early tomorrow to go jogging.

Clubbing with my Branch

It's a public holiday again! I simply love public holidays! haha.

Thanks to Adrian, who had bothered to initiate an outing. I met up with him, Shixing and Ally at Swensens, Marina Square today. It felt really good to meet up with them, and we were talking nonsense just like in uni days. It seemed like all of us had grown up quite a lot in these few months. We had learnt to be smarter in the working world. Why is it that we have to experience so much as we grow up? Why can't everything be simple just like school days? Things have changed, people have changed, everything simply had just changed. I know that I have changed as well, for the better or worse, it's for you to judge.

I had to admit I have been a spoilt brat. Just like when I came home for dinner, I was complaining to mum that I really wanted to eat something good for dinner. So, mum asked if I wanted her to buy food back for me, I said no and I went to sleep. And know what? When I woke up from my nap, my mum had bought back my favourite burger for me! My mum is very nice to me, right? It was then that I felt really guilty. My mum has always made sure all the food for dinner is to my liking. I guess I should learn to be more appreciative.

......

Anyway, I went clubbing with my branch people last night. My bm, csm and even my bo, all were there. My branch is very happening, isn't it? It was my first time drinking with them and it was fun! I truly enjoyed myself and we partied all the way till 3+. I was not drunk, not even high in fact. But, I was enjoying myself, dancing the whole night while watching them drinking. To me, clubbing is only fun if you actually drink and dance. =p Some people got really high and started to mumble rubbish. I bet they won't even remember what they had said in their drunken state. Some also started to do funny things. Why is it that people always start to talk rubbish or do funny things when they are drunk? Do people speak the truth when they are drunk? If I never remember wrongly, I will get very quiet when I am drunk. In fact, I only blurt nonsense when I am super sober. haha. Ironic, isn't it?

Enough is Enough II

I had just finished reading the book which Celene had lent it to me. Reading the book has helped me to explore my true self. After reading the book, I realize that there are many things which need to be done. My fear would be that I may not have the courage to carry out some of the things. It's going to take me a lot of courage.

"Living our truth cannot be for some future goal or noble end; our commitment to releasing judgement and limiting beliefs, practising positive affirmation, honoring our emotions, and striving for win-win is the daily tonic for breaking free of endurance. Try as we might, we cannot compartmentalize our lives. To live an extraordinary life is to allow our spirit's energy into every cell of our being and into our every thought and action. As Gandhi wrote, "One cannot do right in one department of life while still occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is an indivisible whole." - Jane Straus

......

Yukai told me that I should add this to my new year resolution
11. Be nice to Yukai

And he actually said that he merely expected me to treat him slightly nicer - from "horrible" to "slightly less horrible".

What the hell. Am I that mean to him?

Gloomy Sunday

It's a raining sunday again. I simply hate raining sunday. It just makes me feel so depressed. Nevertheless, I dragged myself out of my bed this morning to go to work punctually. It was a gloomy sunday for me. And it was a terrible mistake to go to work today. I had a really lousy day at work. =(

It had been raining non stop for the past few days. When will it ever stop? Will the sun be shinning up there when I wake up tomorrow morning? I hope so.

......

Top 5 bad habits of Angie:
1. Drinking excessively
2. Swearing like nobody's business
3. Bitching around every day
4. Eating chicken wings every other day.
5. Taking cabs unnecessarily

As you can see, I am simply leading a very unhealthy life. I guess I should try to take public transport as often as possible instead of taking cabs unnecessarily. And of cos, I must try not to drink so often and stop eating chicken wings every day!

Anyway, I am determined to save as much as possible from this mth onwards as I must start saving for my Australia and US trip this year. I am simply so excited! For the sake of my trip, I'm willing to cut down on my shopping expenses. I'm serious. If you ever see me spending unnecessarily, remember to remind me of my new year resolution that I must start saving. =p

Photos from my phone

I've just learnt how to upload photos from my phone to the pc, so I've decided to post some photos on my blog. It's only now then I realize that my phone consists many of my friends' photos and there are only 2-3 photos of myself!



A very nice taken photo of Celene. My phone camera is damn good, isn't it? haha. 2 Megapixels.



Jo and Me in the KTV room. Though the room is very dark, this pic is still very well-taken, isn't it? My camera phone comes with flashlight, you see. haha.

Welcome back to Singapore

Limin is finally back in Singapore!

I miss her so much man. And now I am so happy that she is finally back in Singapore! Her bf had booked a chalet for her and she invited me to the bbq. It was really great meeting her again. When we were in the chalet, I just couldn't stop talking as I had so much to tell her! I guess I would need at least 3D3N to finish my story. Haha. She is my soulmate and she basically knows every inner secrets of mine. I just feel very comfortable to tell her everything. Afterall, I have been confiding to her since secondary school.

I'm just so happy that she is finally back in Singapore. Yeah. This is something that calls for a celebration.

Drunkard in Disguise

After 4 days of being so disciplined, Jo and I went Liquid Kitchen last night. Once again, we had proven that it's possible to finish one bottle of Chivas in an hour time. We are simply crazy people.

I was in bad mood last night. As a result, I was out of control and I just drank and drank. It was just like what had happened at Indochine in which I just drank and drank non stop. That's the problem with me, when I'm in bad mood, I would just drink non stop. But, after drinking, it didn't make me feel better at all. In fact, I felt much worse. I guess when there's too much alcohol in your body, all the emotions welled up in your body will just outflow. Luckily, I was still able to make it back home myself. That's the reason why I never allow myelf to get drunk or even high as I would want to make sure that I can still go home myself.

Now, I am afraid that I am simply becoming an alcoholic. Actually, the truth is I don't really like to drink, but it's just that I like to partying. Like I had said to my friends, I don't need alcohol to get high, I get high easily on music. So maybe next time, I should just drink Shirley Temple. (Oh man, I am kidding myself)


Anyway, a new colleague came to my branch. She is so irritating that even Ms Nice Jo cannot stand her. The thing is she doesn't bother to learn and she is forever giggling. Her giggles irk me. She always asks millions of stupid questions, just like one of my very irritating MT mate. I won't mind teaching her stuff, but the thing is she doesn't seem to care! And her attitude simply sux. But, she does add some excitement to our branch in a way as she has become our common bitching target. Oh man, I am simply so bitchy. Anyway, though I can't stand her, if she ever asks me for help, I will still help her. I am a nice senior, after all.

I'm a good girl

I have been a good girl lately. No drinking for 4 days. No chicken wings for 3 days. And I have been jogging regularly. Not a bad start for the new year.

But, the thing is, I think I need to be more focused in work. Somehow or other, I guess I am just not focused enough. And I need to be more sales-focused. Though it's only the 5th day of the month, I am feeling very stressed out. Sigh.

I MUST BE VERY FOCUSED TOMORROW.

Anyway, I am looking forward to my ah kun kaya toast set for my breakfast tomorrow. Yeah! Thanks to my CSM and BO. Heehee.

Photoblogging

I have decided to post up some of the significant photos taken in 2005 on my blog for memories sake... Please enjoy.



CNY gathering with my secondary school friends - Chen Lye and 2 of my best friends, Limin & Yuxiu. They are my friends whom I don't meet often, yet I know that they will always be there for me no matter what matters.



One of my greatest achievement in NTU would be the completion of my A+ grade FYP.



Photo taken on the last day of lecture in NTU. And did you realize that most of us were wearing Man Utd jersey? Those were the days in which we do dumb things like this. If I didn't remember wrongly, I was the instigator. So, I was the childish one. Ops.



B&F Gathering - I wasn't in this photo as I was the cameraman. Those lectures would be so boring without these guys... I really miss them, esp Joel, Weilun, Baolun, Adrian, Jovan, Derrick, etc...



My First Job. My sista in OCBC



Precious convocation photo taken with my good friends, Celene & Raymond. But, seriously, don't you think Ray looks super out of place in this pic? He is simply too tall and I totally look like harry potter!!



A nice retreat at Batam



Celene & Me. Looking at this photo reminds me that it's time for me to lose some weight.



Lastly, my sis ROM. This ring pilliow is very beautiful, isn't it? It's sewn by my sister.

My Horoscope for the day

Some people just love to use the words "cannot", "should not" and "impossible". Let's face it they are lame. While it is healthy to see and set realistic limitations. Life is about testing your boundaries and trying your best.

How cool.

Feeling Edgy

Tomorrow will mark my first day at work in 2006. I have no idea why, but seriously, I feel kinda edgy about going to work tomorrow. I feel as if I am a primary one student who is afraid of reporting for school for the first time. It's not the first time I would report for work, yet, I can't help but to feel real nervous.

It's a brand new year and things are just so different now. There would be a change in working style, change in working environment with a new colleague coming to the branch. With the new boss watching over me, I guess things would just be so different. Whether it will turn out to be good or bad, it's still too early to judge. But, I seriously hope that I would be able to achieve something in 2006. Angie is never a loser, and she will never be one.

Anyway, I went to temple today. You may call me to be superstitious or what. I've gotten a good lot and I really feel good about it. I will have great sales coming in for the year 2006!

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

Liquid Kitchen



"Liquid Kitchen is a contemporary upmarket lounge bar concept. It is an alternative to the local city centre bars and lounges. The place to be seen and heard... at your own convenience! An escape from the hectic buzz all around, just within metres of your natural habitat."

Well, in my opinion, Liquid Kitchen is quite a cool place for chilling out. I like the comfortable sofa-like seats, coupled with nice cushions. Most importantly, the price for the drinks and food is quite reasonable. The place also provides good service and what's more the waitresses there are quite pretty as well! They also play nice music, so it's like you can chit chat or even play games with friends while listening to the nice songs.

I would definitely go back to Liquid Kitchen again.

Small Little Angie's World

Well, I couldn't sleep last night. I thought about a lot of things, about work, friendships, relationship, life, etc. Why is it that as we grow older, we tend to encounter greater problems? Is this really part of growing up?

I'm a simple person. To me, there is only right or wrong. There is no such thing as in between right or wrong. I hate it when people lie to me. I rather you hurt me with the truth than to hurt me by lying to me.


I find it so hard to trust anyone now. Am I being too judgemental? It's like some people have betrayed the trust, can I still believe in them? At times, I find that I can't even trust myself. Even I, myself is not being truthful to myself, so can I expect others to be truthful to me? So, who else can I trust in this world anymore?

There are certain things I rather not know; rather not hear; or rather not see. Just leave me alone in my small little angie's world.

Class BBQ

I had my jc class BBQ last night. There were ade, andrea, yuanmei, sherlyn, taufik, mervin, colin, kc. yukai and of cos me. It was enjoyable and I guess those who were there enjoyed themselves. As usual, kc was our entertaining factor. If only andre, the freak could join us too. =p

Some of us met up at the Giant at Parkway Parade to buy the food first. The most embarassing incident would be that we actually met one of our jc class mate whom we didn't invite! Anyway, I pretended not to see her, it was poop who actually said hi to her. I was like it would be better if we didn't acknowledge each other. Whatever it is, I guess even if we were to invite her, probably she won't come either.

Anyway, we had to walk a long, long distance from Parkway Parade to our pit. All of us were quite exhausted by the time we reached our pit. Luckily, I had a heavy lunch if not I would be cursing like hell. The guys started the fire while the girls helped to prepare the food. Soon enough, we started bbqing. All the food we bought was my favourite and I love the bbqed chicken wings especially. It's nice! I'm simply a chicken wing freak man.

By 9pm, all of us were super full and we decided to play games to eat the leftover food as forefeit as we didn't want to waste the food. It's so funny to see each and everyone of them forcing the food down the throat whenever they lost the game. I was lucky enough to eat the food once. Besides, I wasn't very full so I don't mind eating. Ops.

Luckily, Colin brought a bottle a wine as well. Kc was very excited to drink red wine so I started playing 5-10 with him. This guy is damn funny lor. He looked so animated and excited when he played 5-10. I just couldn't stop laughing playing games with him. I didn't know my classmates drink, if not I would gladly bring my liquor there to drink. In the end, we finished the bottle of wine so fast that we had to resort to drinking plain water as forefeit. Seriously, I won't consider that as forefeit since I was really thirsty, but since we had no more other forefeit, we had no other choice.

All in all, it was a great class outing. I truly enjoyed myself.


PS: My class girls had given me 2 sets of bikinis for my birthday present! I simply love them! Thanx gals!

Welcome to 2006

It's a brand new year and it's time for me to write down my new year resolutions. I would always write my new year resolution on the new year day to signify the beginning of a new year. As I had mentioned many times in my previous posts, 2005 had been a eventful year for me. I had made some wonderful new friends; learnt many new things; experienced the working life style; and had lotsa fun partying. You may ask, is 2005 a good year for me? I would say, it had been a good year for me cos of the people around me who had showed their care and concern for me. It meant a lot to me.

My New Year Resolutions:
1. Save money (I must really start saving money so that I can go for a long holiday!)
2. Get a driving license (I hate it when everyone seems to have a driving license except me. Besides, I must get my driving license so that I can drive my friend home after clubbing!)
3. Cut down on drinking and clubbing (For health reasons...)
4. Earn lotsa money (So that I can spend, spend spend! Is this contradictory to my No 1 resolution?)
5. Go on a long holiday (This shall be my belated graduation trip. haha)
6. Slim down (It's time to get rid of the damn tummy and all the fats in my body! Fatty Angie No More!)
7. Strive hard for my career
8. Spend more time with family
9. Be more
giving

And the most important resolution is
10. Be Happy

That's about it. Wishing Everybody A Happy New Year!
