Live as if there's no tomorrow

If you were given only one day to live, what will you do? And how will you feel? Will you try to lead a happy life with you loved ones? Or will you be upset that you are leaving?

For me, I think I will choose the second option.

I shall live as if there's no tomorrow.

Jac Jac

Today is Jac's last day at Compass Point...

It's supposed to be her off on Monday, but we ask her to come back to work since it's her last day and she should show some "cheng yi". Haha.

Look at her face! She is simply so sad to leave all of us. Err... actually it's me who asks her to give a sad face. Though she never says it out, I guess she must be quite sad to leave us!

Me & Jac. With my uniform, I simply look so PFC. Argh!

Happy Photo of Jo, Jac Jac & Pammy!

The Girls

All the sales staff!

Boss with us!

Though Jac has not been with us for long, we are definitely going to miss her when she's gone. I'm going to miss her one-liner, her "thanks", and her corny jokes. And most importantly, nobody will be around to do the register with me. It's just going to be so lonely for me.

Jac, wish you all the best in your next career.

Champion Chin

You guys have been hearing about my chinchillas, but you haven seen them in person, right?

Introducing the Champion Chin - Chin Chin

It's going to be Chinchin's birthday soon. Let me say Happy Birthday to him in advance! Woohoo!

I would like to post lala's photo down here, but she just refuses to let me take a proper photo of her. Next time maybe!

------

I did a personality test. The test will try to analyze your personality from the way you draw a pig. Other than knowing that I can't draw for nuts, here is my analysis...

Towards the top of the frame, you are positive and optimistic.

Facing left, you believe in tradition, are friendly, and remember dates.

With many details, you are analytical, cautious, and distrustful.

With four legs showing, you are secure, stuborn, and stick to your ideals.

The size of the ears indicates how good a listener you are. You are a poor listener.

The length of the tail indicates the quality of your sex life. You have a great sex life.

How true is it? You judge.

Sports Unlimited 13

I went back to NTU for Sports Camp today! When I alighted from the train, I was shocked to see that the old bus interchange was reduced to a piece of flat land. But, the familiar smell of cocoa greeted me immediately when I stepped out of the train. Some things just don't change, isn't it? Jianhui and I met Eddie at the bus interchange and so we headed to SRC together.

Coming back to SRC really brings back a lot of memories. It was one of the place in school where I had lotsa wonderful memories. I miss those days. And it's really great to see my sports camp friends! I saw Albert, who is the best gl ever in Sports Camp. Also, there's Junhao who is forever so crappy and funny. Even my ABLs, Jialiang and Yaohui came back as well!

Hall 8 Valley

Mud Crawl - I hate mud. Luckily, when I was a freshie, the mud crawl was not part of the course as yet.

River Crossing - One of my favourite station as it's quite refreshing to dip into the pond after such a shagged run.

Slippery Slope - I was the station master for this station for 2 yrs running! This would be the most happening station where there would be lotsa shouting and cursing! Haha. And the guys had to suffer the most at this station. This year, the programmers actually use a much steeper slope and this makes it even more challenging!

Anyway, after seeing most of the stations, I would think that this year's Grand Finale is quite challenging. I seriously doubt that I can finish the route if I were one of the freshies this year. I bettter give a second thought if I were thinking of joining Sports Camp again. Haha.

And I got three conclusions after watching the freshies completing the race.
1. The girls are getting fitter.
2. The girls are getting taller.
3. I am becoming to be an Auntie Angie.

Why do I say so? Well, seriously, completing the Grand Finale is not an easy task. Given that this year's GF is so much challenging and yet the girls are able to finish the race. I just got to admit that they are very fit. And all of them seem to be so tall! Argh! Why am I so short?! Last of all, I didn't run with them. Then why is it that I am so tired after walking around NTU? I am really becoming to be a weak auntie.

Toons World
Behind: Jianhui (SU7), Teck Loon (SU6)
In Front: Me & Edwin (SU9)
We took a similar photo last year, but it seems like we looked much more ethu and younger last year. Are we just getting old?
(Don't you think I look like a ghost beside the guys? I'm just too fair. Damn.)

Another nice photo taken by Edwin. This is a "top-down self-taking Approach".

Will I be back for next year's Sports Camp? I don't know. Though I must say it's good that all the seniors would always come back to Sports Camp as a form of gathering every year. It just feels great to see those friends whom shared your passion for Sports Camp. However, things would be so different given that I won't know anyone from Sports Camp next year as all of the people whom I know would have graduated.

Goodbye NTU

On a roller coaster

It's Saturday today and I'm staying at home. Nowadays, Saturday is like my family day in which I would try to eat dinner at home with my family. Given that I will normally eat out on weekdays, I guess it's good that I should eat at home on Saturday. Somemore, my sis and her husband would be home tonight! Hehe.

These few days, I'm like on a ride on the roller coaster. As in I'll be in a world of my own - Don't feel like socializing or don't feel like doing anything. I just want to be alone. And sometimes, I will just feel very sian. And my mood will be in fact be very extreme. What's wrong with me? PMS? Hmm... Maybe.

Or maybe I realize that out of the sudden, I seem to have lost a lot of things, and the thought of it is making me very depressed.

I feel like going this place right now...

My Peace.

------

For the past few days, I have been doing a lot of deep thinking late at night. This could be the result of me being in a daze during the day. And I apologize to my friends for behaving so weirdly lately. I don't mean it. As I've said, I am pms-ing.

I have been thinking of what do I want?A simple question with no answers. If you post this question to any kids, they could easily give you answers. One kid may say,"I want to have a lot of toys. Another kid may say,"I want to eat MacDonald's everyday." Why is it that small kids can give such straight forward answers to this question, yet I can't find an answer? Am I thinking too much? As you grow older, you start to get confused of what you want in life.
So, what do I want?

A successful career? A lot of money? A happy family? Or just a simple life?

Actually, I just want to be happy.

Somebody sent this sms to me - Hope that you will turn back to happy angie... I miss her.

Where has the happy angie gone to?

When we divorce, carry me out in your arms...

My colleague sent this email to me and I find it to be very heartbreaking... Take some time to read it.

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I had to carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom. This was the scene of ten years ago. The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid, I went into business and tried to make more money.

When the assets were steadily increasing, the affections between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school. Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes.

Abigail came into my life.

It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. Abigail hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Abigail said, "You are the kind of man who best draws girls eyeball." Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we just married, my wife said, "Men like you, once successful, will be very
attractive to girls."

Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn't help doing so.

I moved Abigail's hands aside and said, "You go to select some furniture, O.K.? I've got something to do in the company." Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised her to go and see with her. At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me.

However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she would be busy preparing dinner. I would be sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Abigail's body. This was the means of my entertainment.

One day I said to her in a slight joking way, "Suppose we divorce, what will you do?" She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was
serious.

When my wife went to my office, Abigail had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes.

Once again, Abigail said to me, "Michael, divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together." I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate anymore.

When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. "I've got something to tell you", I said.

She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want to divorce. I raised a serious topic calmly.

She didn t seem to be much annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, "Why?" I avoided her question. This so-called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, "you are not a man!"

At that night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Abigail.

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said.

Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.

At late night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast.

When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again. She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month's time before divorce, and in the month s time we must live as normal life as possible. Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken.

She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, "Michael, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day?" This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, "I remember." You carried me in your arms, she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.

I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form.

I told Abigail about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out for the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, dont tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for bus, I drove to office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.

On the third day, she whispered to me, "The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there."

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Abigail became vaguer.

On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc.I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger.

I didn't tell Abigail about this.

I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now.

She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown fatter. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain.
Subconsciously, I reached out a hand to touch her head.

Our son came in at the moment. "Dad, it's time to carry mum out," he said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.

On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, Actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old.

I held her tightly and said, "Both you and I didn't notice that our life was lack of such intimacy."
I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Abigail opened the door. I said to her, "Sorry, Abigail, I won't divorce. I'm serious."

She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. "You got no fever", she said. I moved her hand off my head. "Sorry, Abigail, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of life, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you."

Abigail seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into cry. I walked downstairs and drove to the office.
When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me to write the greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until we are old.

Upon reaching home, I looked forward to passing her the flowers and break the good news to her that I will promise to love her till the day I die. However, I could not find her at all in the house. Suddenly, my father-in-law called me and told me that she was admitted to hospital. All of a sudden, I suddenly felt my heart sink, and I could not contain the worryness and fear within myself. She has always been healthy... What happen??? I rushed to the hospital immediately...

"She was diagnosed with last stage of lung cancer", said the doctor. I was shocked, my legs become numb and I succumbed to the ground. Why wasn’t I told about this?? In fact, no one knows about this, not even her parents. I walked up to my wife and cried, "Why did you hide this away from me" She simply smiled into my teary eyes and said "Pls do not be angry with me... I don't want to hurt you... I am really happy that I am able to spend my last remaining moments with you...Thank you for everything."

Upon hearing this, I feel like I am really worse than a beast for even wanting to give her up for another woman. I don’t know how to break the news to her that I have decided to call off our divorce. Everything seems too late.

She passed away peacefully a week later...I have spent all my time during her remaining days, with our son around our side. After leaving the mortuary, I banged my head against the wall... "Why didn’t I tell her the truth?" Upon reaching home, my son ran up to me and pass me a small envelope. I open it up. It reads "Dear, I do know that you have decided not to call of the divorce. Ms Abigail did called me and make some nasty remarks to me. However, pls do not confront her on this. From a woman's point of view, I understand why she did that. I am very happy of this, yet I pretended not to know, as I am sorry to you that I can no longer request you to carry me in your arms for as long as we both live. I am sorry for leaving you early...please take care of yourself. Love always, teresa..."

Treasure those around you while you still can, for there are some things which you can never do with him/her again once they're gone....

Simple Friday

It's Friday again! Yoohoo!

During lunch time, Jo and I went to AMK to collect the Lock & Lock for her customer! And I called Pat, Jason and Damien to meet us for lunch. And it's nice catching up with them as we have not been meeting up for quite some time. Then I realize both Jason and Damien are having a good life man as they can drink coffee at S-11 anytime in the afternoon! What kind of job are they doing? Hmm... Even Jovan is having a good life and I heard that he has been promoted to senior wealth manager. This guy is simply good. Maybe I should meet up with him someday to get inspired by him. keke.

After work, I went to meet Beng Chuan for dinner at the famous Hougang Western Food. But, I wasn't damn hungry, so I didn't eat much also. It's kinda wasted as I like to eat the Black Pepper Steak there! As a result, I could only eat the chicken wings which doesn't taste that nice. And that Shixing took freaking long to come after his work, we had no choice but to stay in the Coffeeshop, absorbing all the oil. Haha. I could feel that my whole face is clogged with oil and dust. So disgusting!

And you won't believe it, we actually went to play pool after dinner. So, a group of us (including Mingjun, Hongyao and Chan) went to play pool. When I was at the pool centre, we felt very outcaste. There were only small kids playing pool. We looked kinda over-age to play pool actually, especially when Shixing was wearing long sleeve shirt while the kids were were wearing bermudas and shirts. We just got to admit that we're getting old. But I must say the kids nowadays are damn happening. I don't think I could stay up so late back in my primary school days or even secondary school days.

Being a "wonderful" pool player, the guys had a great time laughing at my skills. Seriously, I can't play pool for nuts. But, they had taught me some skills which I believe will help me to improve my skills. Who know I may actually win them some day? Keke. You never know. Anyway, surprisingly, Shixing can play pool quite well. haha. I'm kinda impressed.

After that, we went to some void deck to play Bridge - intellectual game! I know it sounds quite off to play Bridge at void deck but I bet you can't think of a better place to play card games right? It was very fun. It reminds me of my jc days when I would always play Bridge with my jc classmates in the canteen. Unfortunately, we were having so much fun that I guess we laughed too loudly and somebody actually complained about us. Ops.

Sometimes, doing something so simple on Friday can be so fun. I guess what matters is the company. =p

Good night!

(Pardon me for such a simple entry. Well, I wrote this at 2am, so you can't expect me to write something exciting ya?)

Angie's World

Lately, I am in the world of my own. In my little Angie's World.

I'm basically in a daze most of the time. After roaming around randomless like a sheep who has lost its herd for so long, I finally wake up from my dream land. It's time to move on. And I finally came to realize that I have really been in my Angie's World for the past one year. Or rather, I am in my comfort zone.

It's time to wake up!

Reality may be harsh, but I believe I will be able to handle it.

PMS-ing (again)

I'm in my pms mood today. As you can see from my previous post, I was very pissed this morning. Though I've cooled down a lot during the day, I still feel kinda moody. Maybe I am just pms-ing again. Even my happy Mos Burger dinner can't make me happy.

I miss those days when I could go home and complain to my sister how bad my day was. And she would always assure me that everything is fine. But right now, I could only complain on my blog.

I miss my sister.

Super Pissed Off

I was very determined to start my day with a smile and be happy. Yet, early in the morning, I had to receive such irritating email. I was super pissed! Why must he do such irritating act? Do you call yourself a good leader? PUI! In fact, you should read this particular article on How to be A Effective Leader on Straits Times a few days ago. You know why? Cos you are such a lousy leader. But then again, I doubt reading that article will help as you are such lousy leader that you are beyond hope. How do you expect your subordinates to respect you if you always do these kinds of irritating small acts? I will never respect you as a leader. Never.

I may not be good in sales, but who says I can't succeed in other things? One day, I will succeed and show you what I am capable of.

Thanks for making me feel so abandoned and used. Also, Thanks for making me realize that I have made the right decision.

Simple Off Day

I went back to NTU today! I went to see the Pool Games! Wow, there were a lot of sexy bikini babes and hunky guys! As compared to my batch where only a few worn bikinis, nowadays, it's COMPULSORY to wear bikinis as almost all of them were wearing bikinis. How times change. Most of them look very young and most importantly, innocent. Did I look like this when I was a freshie? Maybe.

After that, I had a sudden thought of going temple. Thus, I decided to go si ma lu. As it's chu yi, it was very crowded. It seemed like the whole world was there, praying!

And true enough, after praying and getting the answers (from the lot I had drawn), I feel so happy and lighthearted!!!

-------

One of my close friend was faced with a tough decision to make. I'll pray for your father's speedy recovery. Take care of yourself. You know that I'll be there for you anytime.

Past and Present Life

I've gotten this link from Adrian's Blog. You guys can try it if you want.

Your past life diagnosis:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.You were born somewhere in the territory of modern New Guinea around the year 725. Your profession was that of a builder of houses, temples and cathedrals.

Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
You had the mind of a scientist, always seeking new explanations. Your environment often misunderstood you, but respected your knowledge. (Then why is it that I always do so badly in Science during my school days?!!)

The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your lesson is to study, to practice and to use the wisdom that lies within the psychological sciences and in ancient manuscripts. With strong faith and hard work you will reach your real destiny in your present life.

Disappointed

I was supposed to go for Sports Camp Opening Cememony last night, but in the end, I was held up by Branch meeting. By the time the meeting was over, my friends had already left and there's no point for me to go back to Sports Camp. I was really disappointed not to be able to go back for the Opening Ceremony. Going for Sports Camp Opening Ceremony is important to me as it's a once in a year thing which most of my Sports Camp Programmers will meet up. Sigh. I have no fate to meet up with them I guess.

In the end, I went to my sis place to stay overnight. And my wonderful sis cooked Mushroon Soup for me! I feel so loved! Thanks sister!

And so, I am rotting at my sis place alone now. Sometimes, it's really good to spend time alone with yourself. It gives you the time, the chance, the clear mind to think of stuff.

I shall enjoy my off day doing nothing!!

DEAD TIRED

Going back to work after the run is MAD. I didn't even have time to rest at home and I had to get ready for work. I was feeling real tired from the run. My legs feel weird. And headache strikes me the moment I step into the branch. I'm so tired.

After work, my sis came to branch to look for me and we went shopping! Haha. It's really great shopping with my sis. Haha. And I bought quite a lot of clothes! It's a very fulfilling shopping trip! But, I guess I got to eat grass till my next pay day. I'm such a spendthrift. Argh!

Anyway, Sports Camp is starting tomorrow! Wow! I'm so excited to go back to NTU to take a look! Time really flies. It's SU13 (by the way, I was from SU9) this year! The girls should be around 19 while the guys are 21! Oh man. I feel so old. = (

I know I've said a lot of times, but I must emphasize I am really very tired! I need to sleep early tonight!

But, I seem to have endless of things to do... Sigh. I need to have more FREE time!!!

Mizuno Wave Run 2006

I have just came back from Mizuno 10km Wave Run 2006 and I'm feeling so tired! My legs feel kinda numb after all the running. I wasn't prepared to go for this run at all, given that I have not been running for quite some time and the only time I went jogging was on wednesday. But, I had promised to go for this run with Jianhui as his birthday present. In the end, it turned out that he had to accompany me to run. Haha.

As compared to the Corporate Challenge I went the other time, this was much more Xiong. Haha. After running 5km, I was already dying. Even a small little boy can run faster than me! That should really put me to shame man. In fact when I reached 7.5km, my legs became quite numb. I couldn't really feel my legs exist. Haha. Along the way, I saw some familar faces! I saw my buddy, David, Mingjun & even my jc teacher, Mr Goh. And of course, I saw some of my sports camp friends who were working as marshal.

Anyway, Thanks for running with me, Jianhui and Happy Birthday to ya!

I read a very meaningful article from Sportsmag Singapore today. But, I'm too lazy to type the whole article, thus I would only highlight those sentences which are very inspiring and meaningful.

"The fear of failure to reach what is on the other side of the glass panel is a huge obstacle that keeps many of us from achieving our maximum potential. Maybe it's because we are a nation that is plagued with success that failure is avoided at all cost, even the cost of winning."

"What drives us to go beyond what is perceived as impossible? Who, or what determines the boundaries between what is possible and what is not?"

"What was the reason for their success for those successful people? Was it because they had the resources to begin with? Was it becasue the environment they were operatin in was good for selling their product? Was it because they had all the support they needed? No, no and no. They succeeded in the fact that they were passionate and dedicated to what they were doing. This passion and dedication is possible only if you enjoy what you are doing."

"When it comes to being a winner, it is often not what you have achieved in terms of medals and accolades, but how you have developed as a person in the circumstances in which you are operating that determines winning."

Extracted from Sportmag Singapore "Looking through the window and walking through it" by Chong Wei Yong

What do you want?

What do you want?

Just like Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, I do not know what do I want. Even if I was given that unique compass in the show, most probably, it will lead me to nowhere. That's because, I really do not know what do I want.

Confused.

Why do I feel so lost all the time?

Compass Point Branch

This entry is dedicated to my Compass Point Branch...

When I was posted to Compass Point, I was told that it's a hostile branch with unfriendly people. And so, I went to the branch reluntantly. But, it turned out that how wrong these people are. Compass Point is in fact a wonderful branch to work in! Work is boring at times, but you guys alays manage to make working so much fun with all the gossiping and bitching session. Even when we are packing things or tidying up the branch, they just manage to make the whole process so fun and enjoyable.

Compass Point with ex-boss Choon Seng. He likes to tell us about his marathon story during morning meeting and I would never forget that he likes to watch Animal Planet as well.

We are a super happening branch, given that we always have branch outing to MOS or Ban Leong every now and then! We would party the whole night and still go to work the very next day, feeling so high from the hard liquor. And we would always complain how tired we are during the day. Haha. And I guess you guys won't believe that we would always get real excited, planning such clubbing session.

Credit should go to our Boss for being such a happening branch. Where can you find a boss who would go drinking with you, do clubbing with you or even go dancing with you to the lastest hip hop songs? My boss does all these. He is in fact more happening than me! He is that kind of person who would go MOS at 1am! Haha. However, he likes to siam drinking (just like me!) or maybe the Yong family always have this uncanny ability to siam drinking? Hehe. Yet, he has his serious side. What's so amazing about him is that he knows when to relax and when to be serious. I would always feel so inspired and enlightened after talking to him. If you have worked under him before, you would understand why is it that all his staff love him so much. At the same time, you would really respect him a lot. Not all bosses are worth my respect, but he is one who definitely wins my ultimate respect.

Another person whom I really respect would be my Sales Manager, Sally. She is one of the top SMs and the reason why she is the top SM is because she delivers good service and attitude to all her customers. She is like my role model and I truly inspire to be like her. Even if she has a complaint case, all of us would think that it's the customer who has badmouthed her. Cos she is a very ethnical sales person and I truly believe that she would never want to jeopardize her job because of one deal. She is so good that all her customers are very loyal to her and they would only want to buy from her. Though she is a mother of two, she looks very young and if you hang out long enough with her, you will know that she is very young at heart. She is like my tidbit partner as we would always go shop for HAPPY tidbits when branch has closed. When I am feeling very down, she would always be there to motivate me. She is really the best sm anyone could have and I'm so glad that she is my sm.

And of course, Compass Point would be so quiet without you, Jolene. You could always hear her laughter and voice from afar. Sometimes, you could even hear her voice outside the glass doors! Haha. She is a drama-mama queen, which means that seeing her complaining about certain customers is entertaining enough. Though she may be in her bitter land at times, she gets over it very easily as well. Just bring her some liquor and beer, she would forget about everything. Haha. Her trademark word is "miscellaneous", and under her influence, we all start to use the word "miscellaneous" to describe those people who are not close to us. Life is really stressful as a sales person, but with Jolene around, she just makes the whole branch so happening. She is the one who would always motivate me or go party with me whenever I feel super demoralized. Thanks, Best Friend.

Next, it would be Brother Greg! He is the most friendly person to me when I first came to Compass Point. Or maybe he is friendly to everybody. And he used to buy me chicken wings for breakfast everyday! (Now you guys know why is it that I just can't seem to slim down. It's all because of those sinful chicken wings.) Brother Greg is the most hardworking pfc I've ever seen and I really admire his persistence. By the way, he is one hard-core drinker! He can drink a lot and everytime he would drink a lot. Brother Greg, it's time to watch your health, ya?

My table buddy, Pat has left the branch, but I guess I ought to include her in this entry. She is an amazing person cos she would always do things which you never expect anyone in this world to do! I thought that I'm a very blur person, she is worse. She is that kind of person who would always ask us to help her look for her wallet every 2 days or she would forget where she has put her handphone. Nevertheless, she is a very good sales person. I really admire her ability in closing sales. Though she is blur, she knows what she wants. All the best in your new career!

As Jac Jac used to hang out with Steph, I wasn't close to her until recently when we started to talk rubbish. I still remember that when she first came to branch, I thought that she is a very fierce and attitude girl. But, apparently, all of us are wrong about her. She is one crappy person and she is very good at impersonating our gestures and behaviour! Girl, maybe you can consider to go into the showbuzz? Haha.

New Brother Jason is new to branch, but he never fails to amuse me with his words and funny expression at times! haha. I shall not speak ill of him here, in case my sm would scold me again! Haha. Claire has just came to our branch and I guess she must be another happening girl as well! She has the energy and passion.

Pammy is our new SA and she has fitted into our branch perfectly. That's because she is as attitude as us! And she is very happening as well! Haha.

Not to forget my wonderful BO, Ailing. She is like the bridge between the sales staff and the operational staff cos she is very close to both sides. I must say she is a very helpful BO who would always help the pfcs to do some of the operational work. That's why all pfcs love her! Haha. In fact, she has taught me a lot when I first came to Compass Point. It came to a point that I'm kinda dependant on her as I tend to ask her a lot of questions. That's why whenever she goes on leave, I would miss her a lot. It's like I would feel so handicapped without her around. Anyway, Ailing is very good at "networking", that's why she can always get things done so easily. Haha. She is a very happening mother as well who would go drinking with us at times!

Lam, the housing loan expert. Whenever I have housing enquries, his name would pop into my mind. I got a lot to learn from him I guess if not, I would not be so lost when he is on leave! Haha. You can always talk rubbish with him as he doesn't care! By the way, he is one attitude guy as well, if he doesnt want to do a particular thing, nobody can force him to do so!

The happening Group @ Jumbo

To all of you in Compass Point Branch,

Thanks for teaching a fresh graduate so many things in her first job. You guys have showed her that it's possible to foster friendship in working life even in this competitive working environment.

I love you guys, Compass Point. Though you guys may not remember me 10 years down the road, rest assured that I would always remember those wonderful days I've spent in Compass Point.

Cheers to Compass Point. I strongly believe that Compass Point would be No. 1 branch under a wonderful leader with such devoted and bonded team. Compass Point would always be the No. 1 branch in my heart.

TGIF

I met up with my sister and her husband tonight for a wonderful dinner at Suki Sushi tonight! I really love to eat sushi. It was indeed a very happy dinner and I guess it was also the most proper dinner I had for the whole week.

And I went to watch Pirates of The Caribbean after the dinner!

Despite hearing a lot of negative comments of this show from my friends, I find that it's quite a good show! Or maybe people have been telling me that the show is very boring, that's why I do not have much high expectations. Since I do not have much expectation for the show, I guess that's why I still think that the show is quite nice. All in all, the zhong(4) dian(1) is - I kinda like the show. And I like my Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp is damn cool too!

The show is hilarious and I was laughing like hell most of the time. In fact, I was the only one laughing in the whole cinema. Maybe I was too easily amused. Haha.

But, I am so tired now. Thank God It's Friday, though it doesn't make any difference to me since I would be working this Saturday and Sunday.

Jogging

I had a wonderful jog last night. Frankly speaking, it had been a long time since I went jogging. And I really felt great after the jog though it was already late at night. I guess I should try to go jogging at least 3 times a week, not only to lose weight, but to cultivate a healthy lifestyle as well. In a way, jogging helps me to relieve stress as well. And it gives me some time to think about my life.

Anyway, one of my good friends has gotten a job that she wants. I'm so happy for her! Gal, I believe that you will be happier in the new job and I wish you all the best. =p It would be a new beginning for you. Treasure the opportunity.

Don't be afraid of the possibility of failure as it actually helps you to be a better person tomorrow.

Have The Courage

From somebody whom I really respect...

Have the courage to appear foolish, for the real fools are those who never attempt anything.

Have the courage to make mistakes, for they can teach you like nothing else can.

Have the courage to take action. For even though your actions carry the possibility of failure, if you never act then you are certain to fail.

Have the courage to live each day fully, with enthusiasm and a generous spirit. Though there are many problems in this world, there are a whole lot more positive possibilities.

Have the courage to do what is right instead of what is easiest or most convenient. It will earn you the respect of others and, even more importantly, the respect of yourself.

Have the courage to see and accept things for what they are. That will put you in position to make a real difference.

Have the courage to love, to speak your mind, to follow your curiosity and your passions.

Have the courage to give of yourself, for the goodness you give will come back to you over and over again.

Rest Day

It was my off day yesterday and I went to my favourite place, ECP - to find the peace I want. It's really my favourite place. It's the only place where I can find peace and I feel totally so relaxed. It's like my hiding place. I just feel so good, lying on the breakwaters while looking at the sky. It's also good for napping with the gentle breeze. Keke.

After cycling, Jianhui and I went to Suntec for a wonderful dinner. I had my favourite xiao long bao and the herbal chicken soup! It's so nice that I keep thinking of my xiao long bao and the soup today! Haha. I wish I can eat xiao long bao everyday! And I went Carrefour for some grocery shopping after dinner. I simply love to shop for grocery! Within minutes, the trollery was full with happy food. Heehee. As a result, we had a hard time carrying the plastic bags, so we had no choice but to take cab. I wanted to save money by taking public transport, but I guess it's really kinda impossible to carry those bags to take train.

And so, I stayed over at my sis place. The bed at my sis place is so comfortable that I nearly couldn't wake up this morning to get out for work. It's really very comfortable. haha.

Anyway, my parents would be away these few days. And it means that only my granny and I would be at home. I shall be good girl and I will go home early for the next few days. =p

I'm so tired right now. I'm going to sleep. Good night!

Cultivating a healthy lifestyle

I have signed up for Mizuno Run this Sunday! Come to think of it, I have not been exercising since I went for Korea. Hm... I seriously wonder if I can finish the run? To prepare myself for the run, I guess I got to force myself to go jogging tomorrow. If not, you may just see my photo on newspapers headlines on Monday.

ONE OCBC STAFF DIED IN MIZUNO RUN

Okay, I am not some big shot, so I guess the headline will only appear in one small corner in the newspapers. That's sad.

Anyway, I was chatting with Yuxiu last night over her stringent diet. She doesn't eat meat, and she doesn't eat supper and fried food is a no-no to her. She eats very healthily. No wonder she is so skinny! I guess I should learn from her, eat more vegetables and no fried food. The problem with me is I love fried food and tidbits. It's so freaking unhealthy. And I should cut down on supper which is like so unhealthy and not constructive.

So, if you see me eating any unhealthy food, must warn me Okay?

I will eat ALOT of vegetables from now on!

A happening Sunday

I went to Ehren's Baby Showers! I simply love babies and it's so nice to see such a small cute baby! Given that both the parents are so beautiful, I bet the baby would grow up to be a real cute boy. haha.

Wendy's husband is the famous chef from Oriental and he specially cooked some dishes for the Baby Showers. The food is definitely not like those food which we always eat from the food catering. It's nice and delicious! I love the cheesy mushroom chicken rice in particular! And the seafood soup is very nice as well!

Our ex-colleague, Jocelyn came as well. She is another very happening mummy. Come to think of it, most of tmy colleagues are happening mummys, like Wendy (who went MOS with me when she's pregnant), Ailing (who would go drinking with us occasionally) and Jocelyn (who simply looks so modern and happening!). I must be a happening mummy next time as well! haha.

We also saw their wedding photos! It's so sweet! Haha.

Happening Mummy & Enren

Sleeping so soundly

We left the place around 3+.

------

After that, I went to town to meet my secondary school friends for KTV session! I'm simply so happy to see them! Limin was sick so she didn't go. As usual, Bao wasn't there. This Mr Policeman is indeed very busy. Even if you give him one week or one month notice, it's the same. He still won't turn up. =p

The guys - Zhanhong, Chingyun, Weipeng and Kit

Yuxiu & Me

Anyway, Weipeng is damn funny lor. He keeps asking us to go Changi to watch sunset and I wonder why. I mean you should do this kind of romantic stuff with your girlfriend and not with a bunch of friends, isn't it? Hm...

After KTV, we decided to go Holland Village for dinner. Weipeng's car is very spacious and it's so comfortable sitting in his car! However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we ended up at IKEA instead of Holland Village. It's fine with me as I love IKEA's swedish meatballs and chicken wings!

My favourite Swedish Meatballs

Chicken Wings

When we finished our dinner, there was one chicken wing left on the plate. I was tempted to eat it, but I was too full. Seriously, I find it a waste not to eat the chicken wing, but I was just too full. What a waste.

After our very wonderful dinner, we had a short walk to Queensway, hoping to find Junwei. But, apparently, this guy left his shop early for his father's birthday dinner as we couldn't find him in the shop! Each of us actually gave him a missed call, to tell him that we came to his shop... haha.

The night is still young and there's a lot of places that we would want to go. In the end, we decided on Mount Faber. But, you guys won't believe it. We went up all the way to Mount Faber, alighted from the car, had a 200M walk and we went back to the car! Just because Altivo is too far! It's like so DUH!

And so we decided to go Thomson Liquid Kitchen. We should have just gone Liquid Kitchen in the first place. We had only one bottle of red wine. A very friendly chilling out session. And we played our favourite game, zou ji mi man. We have been playing this game since secondary school days and we are still playing it 10yrs later. haha. And know what? We are still using the same old stupid numbers as code. Some things just don't change.

After one bottle of red wine, that's how we look...

The two Drunk Boys

Me & Peng, the wonderful driver!

My Primary School Friend - Kit. We've known each other since Primary Four!

The guys, trying to act cool. Or are they drunk?

Blushing Hong & Me

The group

We are simply a bunch of hungry ghosts. We had craving for Prata and so, we ended the night with Prata!

The Prata

It's a very happening and fun day for me. I really had so much fun with them. They are simply a bunch of very fun friends to hang out with. And not to mention that, we really have fun sitting in Weipeng's car. It's just so happening, sitting in his car. You should try it someday. And he is very nice to send all of us home! Thanks, Weipeng!

Anyway, to all my friends, I am not an alcoholic, I'm just a social drinker. =p

Superman!

I've finally watched the movie Superman Returns! Well, some people had been telling me that it's a good show while there are also people who complained to me that the show is boring to the max. So, I went to watch the show with an open mind.

And my conclusion is, it's quite a nice show. Though it's not as action-packed as Spiderman, but nevertheless, it has its plus points with such a handsome Superman and a really cute Superboy. Okay, I know I may sound bimbo, but I wish Superman can be my boyfriend! He is so freaking cute with such good body. Drooling.

And it's really cool to have Superman as my boyfriend, isn't it? He is the Man of Steel and he can save the WORLD. And he is fearless. But then again, though it sounds cool to have Superman as a boyfriend, I guess it feels terrible for the girlfriend as she cannot tell anyone that her loved one is Superman. And you won't even know when you will see him again whenever he says good night to you. Most importantly, she won't even have a boyfriend to accompany her to her friends' weddings, birthday parties or she can't even watch movie with her boyfriend. It can be quite sad. And she can't even tell anyone how much she loves her boyfriend as nobody will know that she has a boyfriend in the first place. And not able to show or tell anybody how much you love somebody is very tong ku.

On second thought, having Superman as a boyfriend may not sound like a good idea. Hmm...

Superman!

Geylang Outing II

I've just came back from a really full dinner at Geylang with Celene! And I'm so happy to see her again! *Anyway, gal, you look great with your new hairstyle.

I had my favourite Gong Bao Tian Ji and Durians! Yummy! It was such a satisfying dinner man. It had been a long time since I ate so much in a day. I ate Swensens for my lunch, some Fried Yuo Tian & Nong Hiang for snacks before I went for dinner. It seems like I've gotten well from my illness if not I doubt I would have the appetite to eat so much.

Anyway, I realize it's kinda weird for 2 girls to go Geylang to eat. Everybody seems to be looking at you. There was a point of time when both of us were happily walking down the streets, then we suddenly realized that we had came to the wrong place. It was very awkward. And we turned our heads immediately, trying to act that nothing had gone wrong. Ops.

When our food had more or less digested, we went to eat durians by the roadside! It's my first time eating durians by the roadside actually. It's quite a different experience from eating durians at home. After eating one GIGANTIC durian and many mangoteens, I was really full. Burp.

By the way, it's really hard to catch a cab in Geylang!!! Argh. But, I managed to catch a cab at the weirdest place of all. Even the taxi-driver was asking why did I choose such a place to wait for a cab as the possibility of catching a cab there was like 0.0000001%. But, I guess I was lucky to meet uncle who just happened to stop in front of me. Maybe, I'm not a jinx after all.

------

It's Pat's official last day today. As I was typing a goodbye letter for her, I felt really sad. But, I guess saying goodbye is kinda common in our line. People come and leave. In fact, I should be happy for her that she has found a greener pasture.

Pat is one who is very focused in getting what she wants, and this is something which I should really learn from her. Looking at the way she talks, the way she handles her customers' objections, she is just born to do sales. She simply has the passion to do sales. And most importantly, she is hungry for sales.

Pat, may you soar like an eagle in your new job. And don't ever forget about us, ya?!

Convocation -13th July

Exactly one year ago from today, it was my Convocation.

Time really flies, isn't it? (okay, I know I have been using this phrase like million of times, but I just can't find a better phrase to replace it!!) One year has passed. I was still new at the job at Hougang Mall when I went for my convocation last year. And now, I can be considered to be a senior at Compass Point... What a change.

Anyway, you guys won't believe it that I've not gone to the studio to take my graduation photos yet. Sigh. I am such a procrastinator. When all the fresh graduates of this year are done with the photo-taking, then I shall go studio and take mine. Haha. As I was telling Celene, I shouldn't drag this photo session anymore, coz I may look more and more cunning and looking less and less like a FRESH GRADUATE as times goes by.

To all my friends, WHERE ARE MY CONVOCATION PHOTOS? They promised to send the photos to me, yet till now I have not received any photos one except from Celene.

Where are the rest?

NE Cluster

Maybe I've slept too much or what for the past few days, I couldn't sleep at all last night! I was wide awake even after lying on my bed for 2-3hrs. In the end, I guess I only managed to sleep at 7 plus when I had to wake up at 845am. One hr plus of sleep. How wonderful.

We had our usual Cluster Meeting yesterday evening. Other than the usual sales review, our CM announced our YTD ranking. And my best friend, Jo and Brother Greg are in top 30 in the whole network! I am so happy for them! Their hard work has been paid off after all. And my good friend, Siewping who has been doing very well is also in one of the top position too! Congratulations to them! As for me, I have only myself to blame for not in the top 50 position.

Anyway, after our Cluster Meeting, the usual gang went K-garden as a farewell party for Ada who would be leaving soon. I didn't expect myself to stay quite long as I couldn't drink and I definitely couldn't sing as well. But, I started dedicating a lot of my favourite songs and that's how it all get started. =p Somemore, I guess they were too high to realize that I was singing off-pitch. Haha. Sometimes, it's good to sing KTV when your friends are drunk, as you won't feel so stressful ya? While all of them were busy playing games, I was happily having my own Concert. It came to a point of time when one of them started asking why is it that their song will never come. Ops. So, you guys know why? Haha.

Come to think of it, I guess my cluster is quite a happening lot. We do have fun together during our drinking or clubbing session. Seriously, credits must go to Brother Greg who has been networking with rest of the pfcs and he is the one who bothers to organize such gathering for the cluster. If not for such gathering, I guess I would only know Compass Point Branch and Siewping in the whole cluster. =p

Happy photo of Jo & Me

Brother Greg & Me
Why does he look so upset, taking this photo with me? Hmm...

Happening Compass Point - Ok, maybe I'm not that happening. But, Jo and Brother Greg are damn happening. They are the best party mates you can find anywhere! TAH is their favourite phrase!

No. 1 PFC/RM - Don & Me

Sweet Ada & Us

Stupid Daniel who keeps saying that I'm haolian when I am obviously not a haolian person!!

On a normal day @ Compass Point

Have you ever seen a PFC queuing up to close her account?

It happened at Compass Point and I have proof to that!

Crappy Jac queuing up at the banking hall to close her account.

Our friendly SA even approached her to see if she needed help... haha.

I guess you guys have been hearing about the new guy in Compass Point but you have not met him personally right?

Introducing our not-so-new colleague at Compass Point...

Stepping out

I've finally made an important step out of my protective shell. Some may ask what exactly triggers me to make such a decision out of the blue. It's definitely not a impulsive decision or what. And don't worry guys, I've thought it through. I believe it's the right decision to make at this time. I'm big enough to make decision for myself.

Though I really don't know what lies ahead of me, I believe it's time for me to find back my true self. There are times in which I question who am I exactly. Seriously, I have no answer. If I can't answer that myself, how do I expect my friends to answer. Am I right?

Tomorrow will be a better day for you and me. =p

On MC

You won't believe it? I concussed on my bed from 9pm last night till 11pm this morning! That's 11hours of sleep! Wow. I didn't know I am that tired.

It's my off day today, though it's more like medical leave as I am recuperating at home. Even my mum and grandmother keep asking me if I am going out. I guess they are so used to me going out on my off day that they find it bizarre that I am staying at home. But, seriously, I am too sick to go out. Even at home, I would feel breathless at times or even experience giddyness. I definitely do not want to faint outside where I'm not sure if anybody would bother to help me.

When I woke up this morning, I was determined to do quite a lot of things, like packing my messy table and sorting out the documents in my pc. And I finally managed to clean up my table! That's an achievement. I am so proud of my neat table now. haha. Since my sis would no longer stay in the room, I guess it's only my responsibility to ensure that my room is neat and clean. After all, I am the one staying in the room.

Just hope that I would be feeling much better to go back work tomorrow!

Sick (again)

I've fallen sick (again). Terribly sick in fact.

When I was home yesterday after Sunday banking, I didn't feel well and so I took nap. And when I woke up at 8+, I was sneezing like mad and coughing like there's no tomorrow. I hardly could breathe as I was lying on my bed.

It was a miserable night.

I tried to wake up at 2am to watch my World Cup Finals. But, I felt so giddy that I collapsed back to my bed. I couldn't wake up at all.

It's really a pity that I've been following World Cup matches, yet I actually missed the Finals. Well, it's just not meant to be. Perhaps I should watch the replay later if I feel much better.

I've gotten a MC today, but I had to come to work as there weren't enough people at branch. I was basically dragging my tired body to work. I was feeling super lethargic the whole day. And it didn't help that normally Monday is a busy day. I had my lunch only at 5pm.

I feel so dead. I think I'm going home now.

Blogging

I have been blogging for over a year. And I guess blogging is really a good way to channel my feelings. As I read my entries over and over again, it's like my life story. It truly depicts my happiness, my sadness and my dilemma at times. It's also a way for my friends (those who bother to read my blog) to check out how am I doing. Though I may not be some famous bloggers who have high readership everyday, my blog is my precious. I'm so used to blogging that I will feel weird if I can't blog one day. I'm really that obessed with blogging.

However, due to sensitivity of certain issues, there are things which I can only write in my diary. Sometimes, I wonder what will happen to my diary if I die one day? Will somebody chance upon my diary and read it? But, seriously, even if I have passed away, I guess I won't want anybody to read my diary as well. After all, diary is something which is very personal.

It's a raining Sunday again. Sigh.

NDP Preview

Thanks to my best friend, I was able to go NDP Preview yesterday! Though it's only a preview, I'm very happy! I love going to NDP!

Whenever I go NDP, I would feel very excited. And it never fails to make me proud to be a Singaporean. Though I am aware that there are many ugly Singaporeans around, generally, I'm really proud to be a Singaporean. Anyway, if you have been to any NDP before, the feeling of singing the National Anthem out loud is an experience. Most of the time, I could feel that the whole stadium is singing our National Anthem, and the feeling is great.

The Parade (SOP)

Singapore Flag!

And of course, one of the greatest highlight of the whole parade would be the FIREWORKS. It's so beautiful. Whenever I see fireworks, it gives me a sense of happiness and hope. It can make me forget all my worries and unhappiness! I simply love fireworks.

The beautiful fireworks

More to come!!

Though I love to watch NDP, I hate it when it comes to the going home part. Sigh. We had to walk a long long distance before we came to a bus stop to take a bus to suntec to take cab. We were damn tired and hungry. But, everything came to a good end as we had a wonderful dinner/supper at HK cafe.

After that, I was so tired that I decided to take cab to CCK. =p
