Happy belated Birthday to Tianbao

It was our dear Uncle Bao's birthday last Saturday and Chingyun helped him to organize a party for him. And the turnout rate was quite good though many were late. As I've told Mr Peh, he should tell them an earlier meeting time as all of them are bound to be late. Haha. true enough, they were all late, including Mr Peh! Sometimes, I just wonder why is it that all of them simply like to be late or maybe they simply don't like to be one of the first few to arrive?

It was quite a friendly session until they started to play the 7-8-9 game. To say the truth, Tianbao really drank a lot and he basically drank all those drinks with no mixer! If I were him, I would have died long ago! Poor guy man.

Another shot with the birthday boy. Thanks to Tianbao, I got to share this birthday cake as well!

I really enjoyed hanging out with them. It was so good seeing them. Like I was telling my friend, we always claim that we are too busy to meet up with friends, but to me, that's totally an excuse. If you really want to meet up with a particular friend, you will arrange to meet up with her or him no matter how busy you are. Sometimes, even meeting for a short coffee session is good enough. It all boils down to the point - Do you actually put in effort to meet up with your friend? Even for me, sometimes, I am guilthy of "being too busy". Anyway, I just wana say I love my secondary school friends! =p

Though he drank a lot, he was still quite sober. Here's a picture of our dear Birthday Boy at the end of the night.

As for me, I was feeliing quite okay until I was in Weipeng's car. I was like totally gone in the car. I couldn't even remember how did I manage to bathe and get to my bed.

And when I woke up this morning, I've decided to cut down on drinking or simply just go for wine-tasting.


Drinking is bad for health. Given a choice, I would rather run 5km than to drink.

Let's do something more healthy from now on ya?

Promises

What is the meaning of the word - promise. A simple word with deep meaning to it. And how many of us actually truly comprehend the meaning of "promise". Sad to say, though most of us are so-called to be educated, we do not really understand the meaning of this word.

Don't you realize that as you grow older, you will realize that sometimes, a promise is nothing. It seems like people tend to use that word as an easy way out to escape from a awdward situation. Just like somebody once told me that sometimes, people make promises just to make the other party feel better or to make themselves feel better. How many times do people make promises to you, and they break it the next moment? Shouldn't you make a promise to somebody only when you really mean it? Or is it true that promises are just meant to be broken?

Don't make any promise to anybody if you know that you will break it in the future.

Is my blog really that boring?

Well, some of my friends were commenting that I'm getting more and more predictable in writing my blog. As a result, my blog is getting more and more boring. Maybe, to a certain extent, it's quite boring, but to me, it's a channel for me to write about how I feel and it's all about my life. It's like an online diary and I can't live without it. I'm so used to write my blog every other day that I would feel that something is amiss if I don't write my blog for a few days.

Anyway, I went ecp with Shixing and Limin today. Though I was quite tired from last night's KTV session, I was determined to go there as it would be the last day in which my favourite bicycle kiosk would be in operation. Following the SOP, I went to look for my favourite auntie, and chose my usual kind of bike. I wanted to bring them to my favourite breakwaters, but in the end, I actually brought them to the wrong one. Keke. I'm such a blur queen. Anyway, we had a nice chat at the breakwater while enjoying the breeze. It was supposed to be a romantic hangout for the couples, but apparently, we were so loud that a lot of couples would rather go to other breakwaters. After a while, Jianhui came to join us as well.

Three of them are my close friends who basically know everything about me (or even my darkest secrets) and I'm so glad that they can mingle so well! It's like they have known one another for quite some time. It's really amazing. Or maybe those people who hang out with me usually belong to the same kind of people, that's why they can click so well? I really had a great time with them! If only I could just hang out with my friends at ecp everyday. That would be really cool. As I was cycling back to the bicycle kiosk, I was suffering from Monday Blues. The thought of me having to wake up at 615 doesn't perk me up at all. Sigh.

I'm so tired! Yawn.

Hope that I won't get lost tomorrow! Heehee.

T:Nine V02

Look at this...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Isn't this chio? It's my first birthday present of the year! Yukai bought this for me!

"The T:Nine V02 is the "Cafè Au Lait" of Cafè K2's T:Nine X-Training's blend. We prepared the T:Nine V02 with 84mm wheels, ILQ-9 bearings, standard cuff height, and high ankle lacing. The end result of this combination is a skate that's so supportive that it's a commuter skate with the ability to endure a marathon or training session. This skate fits so well and rolls so smooth that in no time you will focus on how much pleasure it brings out in your skating." - extracted from http://www.skateline.com.sg

I really love this skates! =p But then, I find it to be quite expensive. To a certain extent, I wonder is it worth it to spend so much on skates given that I could use that same amt of money to buy a lot of things. Even my sister was commenting that I am stupid to forgo my Gucci for this pair of skates. Hmm... Maybe, I'm stupid.

Buying this pair of skates will mean that I got to brush up my blading skills! And I must make sure that I must blade regularly so as not to waste this pair of skates. Keke.

Congratulations

Yukai has been selected to go University of Washington for exchange next year! And this would mean that I could go US next year! Yeah! It's just so exciting! At the same time, he has also gotten some scholarship! Wow.

2 good news in a row. It's something which we should call for a celebration, isn't it?

Busy Day

Early in the morning, I sms KC, asking him what are the buses that go Bedok North from Bedok South Interchange. To my surprise, this guy was already awake and he called me immediately. And his first sentence to me was - Why don't you take cab?!! Super thanks. I have been trying so hard to stop taking cab, so you don't have to remind me to take cab. And ya, so far I have been quite a good girl except for those unforeseen circumstances in which I really have to take cab. In the past, I used to take cab every other day, but now, I only take cab at most once a week. That's a great improvement.

Anyway, my mentor gave me the opportunity to do hands-on today. It was very stressful, but I was happy. And basically for the whole day, I was very busy. I like to be busy, not too busy though. I finally understand what it is like to be a CSM. You must be really good at multi-tasking and you must be fast yet accurate. I'm still at a loss at times and I tend to make stupid mistakes. There are so many things to learn. And I am really very slow at my work. Just hope that I'll have the chance to have more hands-on tomorrow. But, I feel kinda sian that just when I am starting to adapt to this branch's way of working, I got to go to another branch next week for assessment. The good thing is, that will be my last branch and I would be considered to have "graduated". And I would be more or less settled in Kallang unless they need staff for other branch.

I finally ate my favourite pigs' organ soup today. However, it just doesn't taste as nice as before. Has my taste buds change? Or is it due to the different ingredients? Or did I order something wrong? Hmm... It just tastes different. Whatever it is, I'm glad that I finally can eat my pigs' organ soup. At least it satisfies my wish of eating the pigs' organ soup there again. For your information, my "pigs' organs soup" consist only of toufu, vegetables and meatballs. Keke. My taste is quite unique isn't it?

Tell u guys something really funny. Just when I was thinking of having some buffet for dinner tomorrow, I read my horoscope and it says - Somebody is asking you out for a big dinner, but you better think twice as it's time for you to go on diet. You should start to exercise regularly.

My god! It's like so accurate! Argh. How on earth do they know that I wish to go for a big feast though I'm trying very hard to go on diet? Or maybe I should adopt Alicia's diet? But then on second thoughts, I doubt I can forgo my happy lunch or dinner. Oh well...

Training

Knowing that I would be going for training today, I asked Darren and Shixing to meet me for lunch. Being a very typical working class adult in Raffles Place, Darren actually took me for a walk around Raffles Place, recommending the good food to me. If you have met up with me at Raffles place, you would probably know that I don't really know Raffles Place well. The only buildings I know in Raffles Place can be counted with one hand, and these buildings (which should feel very honored) are OCBC Centre, Great Eastern Building, UOB and Citibank. And don't ever ask me to meet you at some weird place in Raffles Place as I would probably get lost. Haha.

Anyway, after walking one big round, we decided to eat at The Food Barn as there wasn't any queue. Despite waking up late, Shixing came to join us. It was nice catching up with Darren as I think I've not met him since... erm... It was so long ago that I couldn't really remember when was the last time I met him. And Alicia came to join us as she wanted to collect some CD from me. The sandwiches weren't very nice, but at least the company was good. So I guess that probably compensated the not-so-nice sandwiches.

After lunch, I rushed back for my training and my trainer was not there. I could have spent more time chit-chatting with them. By the way, early in the morning, I thought I was going to be late for training and thus I was rushing like hell to the training place only to find out that my trainer was late. She was late by one hour in fact. And the best part was she didn't even explain why was she late. Knowing that she has this habit of turning up late for class, I would have enjoyed a longer lunch. It was such a waste of my effort to be punctual.

Nevertheless, it was a good training lesson for me. I've learnt a lot of things about telegraphic transfer (TT) and the things to look out for when doing TT. So, it was not a wasted trip after all. But, there are so many things to remember! I think my brain is going to burst anytime man!

Maybe I had killed too much of my brain cells in the day. I'm so tired. I guess I shall head to bed now.

Good night!

I'm not Stupid

I was never somebody who would always top the class. I was never a smart student who would be selected for all kinds of international intelligent tests. I was never a scholar.

But, I was never stupid.

But, somehow or rather, people around me lately just enjoy making me feel stupid. Do they find joy in making me feel stupid? Maybe I'm still not familiar with certain practices, but that doesn't make me stupid, okay?

I hate to feel so stupid! Argh.

If I don't screw up, I'm not Angie

Today, I had decided to try my new way of going my work place which should be faster. Once again, I've proved that if I don't screw up, I'm not Angie. When I exit from Boon Keng MRT station, I was lost. I had no idea which way should I go and where was the bus stop which I wanted to go. In the end, I just happily walked to one of the bus stop nearby and boarded the bus. However, once I was on the bus, I came to realize that I was going in the wrong direction! Argh. As a result, I had to alight the bus and took another bus in the opposite direction.

My life is like a drama right?


Anyway, don't know if I am a jinx or what. When I was very hungry and was about to go for my lunch, there was a major power failure! All the lights went off and the computer just shut off! So, all of us had to stand at the branch entrance, advising all customers to go to other branch. The power only resumed at 4pm. Luckily, there wasn't much things to do, if not we got to stay until real late I guess.

And I did surprise cash check today! It was quite an experience though I must say I'm really quite slow at counting cash.

All in all, it was quite a fulfilling day!

And the most important point is, I've found a faster way to go home!

------

How fantastic.

People actually start to ask if I have kids. I have promoted from the level of "looking married" to the level of "looking auntie enough to have kids".

Isn't this fantastic?

Drama-mama

Just when I was very excited to start my Monday, I received 2 smses about the loss of my favourite team. I even slapped myself several times to make sure that I was not dreaming when I saw the score. Unfortunately, the truth was Man U lost. Maybe if I had stayed up late to watch the match, the results would be different.

Though I was really reluntant to wake up from my dream, I got up super early from my bed this morning. I was so early to the extent that I felt that I should take bus to waste some time. But know what?

Being a typical Angie, I took the wrong bus again! In the end, I alighted halfway and boarded another bus to bring me to the bus stop that I wanted. Just when I thought that I should be so proud of myself for being so guai to continue taking bus despite me facing so much problems, I actually alighted at the wrong bus stop AGAIN.

In the end, I gave up. I was running late, so I had to take cab eventually.

It was such a wonderful start to my day.

I'm just so Angie. I can't stand myself sometimes. But then again, you can't really blame me given that the place is really quite ulu? You try going to Lavender Food Square from Sengkang, and you'll know what I mean.

The good thing was, despite me having such a dramatic start to my day, it was a quite a happy day for me at work! My mentor had given me an admin card which meant that I could start to have some hands on rather than observing her. Moreover, she was going to apply all the necessary IDs for me! I'm so excited!

By the way, I can finally eat my favourite pig's organ soup! Yeah! Hopefully I can eat that tomorrow!

PS: Wang Li Hom is going to hold his concert in Singapore! Should I go? Or should I not?

My First Time

It's my sis birthday and I went to spa at Body Contours with her! It was my virgin full body massage and body scrub. And I must say, it was a good experience. It was very relaxing and shuang. As I was lying down there, my whole mind is in relaxing mode and my body is so relaxed. After my body massage and body scrub, I went for the steam bath. It was very comfortable as well. I wish I could do it at least once in a fortnight. That would be so cool. =p

After our spa session, Alan came to pick us up to go to Suntec. We had my favourite xiao long bao and chicken soup which was like super super nice! I think I should just stay away from shopping centre as I have a serious illness of shopping non-stop. Argh! Anyway, with the IMF conference going on, suntec is really quiet. When I say quiet, I mean it's really that quiet. There are hardly any customers in restuarants. I didn't know situation was that bad until I came here. But, I guess most people actually avoid going there as they figure that it would be too inconvenient given that you have to walk to marina square and to millenia walk then to suntec! And it's like freaking far and super not worth the effort as you could have gone to Orchard to shop instead. There were quite a lot of IMF participants shopping in Suntec as well and most of them are just so tall. They must be thinking that generally, Singaporeans are hobbits. Keke. Or maybe I am the only hobbit.

Anyway, I met Jac at Marina Square. But, the funny thing was, she actually saw my sister before she saw me! Am I so insignificant? Maybe I should have worn heels instead of flats so that maybe I would be within her vision ya? Keke.


As my sister and her husband were going to have a romantic dinner at Meritus Mandarin, I asked Alan to send me to Dobby Ghuat so that I could go meet Jo for dinner at Serangoon Gardens. We has some Thai food and it was quite nice too! Subsequently, we went to our favourite K-Garden with Shixing and BC.

I had been sleeping far too early for the past few nights. As a result, I was already feeling very sleepy at tired at 12am. I was basically stoning while listening to them singing. In the end, we left at around 2am and I collapsed on my bed immediately after bathing.

Okay, I admit I am BK. Next time I call myself BK Yong can?

Learn how to do absolutely nothing

Abstracted from CLEO October

We're always whining about how we could do with a holiday or more time to relax. But when we do have a blacnk slot in our clendar, we find ouirselves checking email, answering messages from the office and filling up a free day with even more work. "But time crawls to a stop whenever I have nothing to do," we hear you say. Need tips on how to savour precious thumb-twidding moments? Read on.

Slow down slowly
You don't have to leap straight into a Do-Nothing-Saturday-Night. Accustom yourself to tiny nuggets of free time first. For instance, instead of occupying yourself with a magazine while commuting to work, let your mind wander. Look at the scenery or study the people around you. Train your mind to chill out.

Multitasking is off-limits
After work, that is. Trying to watch the news while doing your laundry and cooking dinner divides your attention and leaves your mind frazzled. Focus on one thing at a time. If you're browsing a cookbook, relish the delicious pictures and enjoy the experience. This will improve your concentration and you'll end up being more productive too.

Do what you want
Instead of doing what pleases you, do you tend to go along with what your boyfriend wants or what your pals think is cool to do? Change that mindset. So what if you'd rather stay home to watch reruns of Friends while your friends are planning to club-hop the night away? Once you've identified your favourite ways to spend your free hours, you'll crave for more.

The problem with me is, I tend to multi-task too much after work at home.

------

Wanna turn back time?

1) Regular exercise can add at least three years to your life. (See. that's why we all should just exercise regularly)

2) Your body detoxes during the night, so get a full eight hours of sleep. (That's why I need to sleep early every night!!!)

3) Studies show meditation can reduce your biological age by up to 20 years. (I don't do meditation, but I do Yoga... Does it help?)

Grrrr... It's cold

Though I didn't on my air-con or fan, I'm feeling very cold. It's going to be a wonderful night for sleeping. And the best part is, I don't have to wake up early tomorrow for work.

This is the life I want.

Happy Birthday to Sis

Today is Friday! As a result, I'm in super good mood today especially when I don't have to work tomorrow! Yoho!

And the most fantastic thing was I actually left office before 6pm! I reached Ban Leong at 6pm when my family wasn't there yet. I was so early that they just left home when I was already there. Haha. So, I just sat there, waiting for them to come to comfirm the food. We had the usual black pepper and fried chilli crab, my favourite prawn paste chicken wings, fried prawns, ngoh hiang, fried beehoon and sambal kangkongs. It was a really happy dinner. And I'm so glad that my family enjoyed the dinner though it was a pity that my grandmother couldn't join us as her legs were too painful for her to bear.

Anyway, the reason why we actually decided to have such a happy dinner was to celebrate my sis' birthday!

Good Guy or Not?

When watching any movies or drama shows, we have no problems in identifying the bad guys and the good guys. From the start of the show, you will be able to identify instantly who is the bad guy and who is not. And you would always get so angry whenever the leading female actress or actor foolishly believes that the bad guy is the nice guy. But, in reality, the truth is: There is not clear definition to define a good guy or a bad guy.

Humans are complicated creatures. Maybe we are so highly intellectual that we tend to engage in mind games such that the situation would be in favour of us. I hate mind games and I'm not one who play mind games, reason being is I have no idea how to play mind games. I wish the people around me can just be who they are and not trying to engage in highly intellectual taxing mind games. Work is stressful enough, and I definitely do not want my relationship with people around me to be so stressful as well. I just want to be myself. Like what my boss always tells me, it's important to be loyal (true) to yourself. We, humans may be more intelligent that animals, but at times, some people resort to underhand means to achieve their goals that maybe we are worse than animals. That's sad.

Or is there a good guy in this world at all?

Note: When I say "guy", I mean both females and males.

An album you shouldn't miss

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

You guys should go buy this album. And the reason is clear. It's NICE! If you like his previous albums, you will definitely like this as well. All the songs follow his usual style, very jayish.

I like the song, tui hou a lot (I think I've recommended this song in my previous post). The lyrics are nice and meaningful. And it's just so touching. Somehow, whenever I hear his songs, I can feel the sadness of the songs. Heng(1) you(1) gan(2) dong(4) du(4). Really. All his other songs like zou dao zui hou, xin yu and ti ma ma de hua are those typical slow songs which are very soothing to listen to. And of course, in this album, there are rap songs which are just like his other rap songs in which he would always act seh in the MTV. keke.

So, what are you waiting for? Go grab this album before it runs out of stock.

Blogthings II

You are a giving soul. Way too giving in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do.
You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style.
You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it.
In relationships, you tend to be very romantic and demanding. You'll treat your partner like gold, but you expect a lot in return.

What Do Your Bathroom Habits Say About You?



How You Life Your Life

You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.
You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences.
You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them.

Did I mention that my company's D&D will be on 30th October this year? Of all days, the organizing committee has to arrange it to be on a Monday. Smart choice indeed given that we are always very busy on Monday. Many even say that by the time they are done with the work, it's already 8pm and it's impossible to get changed for the D&D.

The only reason why they hold it on a Monday is - It's cheap. Dirt cheap maybe. Or maybe they intentionally plan it on a Monday as they don't really want too many people to go to save costs on drinks and they don't want too many people to get drunk. If too many people get drunk, many people will puke and it will dirty the place. Actually, I wonder why it that after last year's experience, the hotel is still willing to do our business? That's weird.

And for this year's D&D, I'm going to chain my camera to myself. No way am I going to lose my camera this time round.

Saw this on my friend's msn -

Life is short
Be swift to love
Make haste to be kind

On MC (again?!!)

I'm on MC today. The reason why I'm on MC is a long story. Don't be mistaken, it's not a fake MC. I'm really sick.

Well, I has asthma attack last night. As usual, when I need my inahler, I can't find it. I think I've left my inhaler at home which means that I don't have any medicine to relieve myself. Given that I was at my sis place, there was no spare inhaler as well. (This reminds me that I got to put a spare inhaler at my sis place for emergency use.) So, as a result, I didn't sleep for the whole night. I woke up as per normal at 6am, getting ready to go to work. But, after getting all dressed, I really don't feel well. I have a splitting headache which is probably caused by the lack of sleep.

And so, I didn't go to work. After driving my sis to work, Alan is really nice to drive me back home to see doctor. Thanks Alan. =p

I shall rest well today. I'm simply looking forward to my wonderful dinner tomorrow evening. Keke.

------

Anyway, I knocked off at 6pm yesterday and met up with Celene and Alicia. Celene was commenting that we were very lucky to be able to shop at this time as most people should still be working in their office. Keke. To say the truth, I have never go to town at six plus since my training at ocbc has ended!

We had a wonderful dinner at Thai Express. I love Celene's noodle and my tom yum soup. It's nice! Though I think it's not filling enough as I still feel quite hungry after the meal. After not meeting Alicia for quite some time, she is still as drama as last time, but she has slimmed down a lot. She was telling me that she has been controlling her diet as she wants to slim down for her wedding. Why is it that all brides will always want to go on diet before their wedding? That's so torturous. I can't imagine myself eating an apple (only) for lunch, neither can I forgo my favourite fried and fattening food. I rather run 4km everyday and eat normally. I live to eat, you see.

As we were discussing about Alicia's wedding, I can't help but to feel real excited about it! I simply love wedding! Don't worry Alicia, it's going to be a real fun and romantic wedding for you and your husband. =p

Look at this!

9-11

Today is 9-11. In a blink of eyes, five years had passed by us. I couldn't even remember what was I doing when 9-11 happened. I have a short-term memory, you see. But, I think I was still in JC - an innocent, sweet girl with wonderful complexion back then.

Anyway, am I getting old or what? People around me have been asking if I am married. Do I look like I'm married? Or do they stereotype CSMs generally as single, old, mean and unhappening women?

Thus, I've decided to make a statement today. First of all, I am not single. Secondly, I am definitely not old cos I'm only 22+ years old, not even 23 years old yet. Thirdly, other than bitching about certain people at times, I am a super nice and sweet person you know. Last of all, I can be happening if I want to be.


The conclusion is, I am young, nice and happening.

Get my point?

What kind of CSM will I be?

A BM once asked me," What kind of CSM do you think you are?"

I was stunned by the question for a moment. But, I know that I want to be a know-it-all CSM. Once my colleagues have any questions, I want to be the CSM who will help them some any enquries. Even if I do not have the answer immediately, at least I will try my very best to solve the problems. And of course, I want to be a CSM who can communicate and mix well with the fellow colleagues. Work hard together and Party hard together.

My role model would be my ex-boss. Though he would scold us when we did something wrong. we know that he would always be there for us. He cares for his staff and his staff not only respect him, we love him. If I were to be a leader in future, I want to be like him. He is able to give his staff a great sense of security under him and with him around, there is always fun. (This entry is supposed to be what kind of CSM do I want to be, but why is it becoming an entry to praise my boss?)

Anyway, I know I am young and experienced. But, don't worry. I'll work exceptionally hard to prove myself. Sales may not be suitable for me, but it doesn't mean that I can't succeed in other areas. =p

R & R

It's Sunday today and I don't feel well. I went for tuition in the morning and throughout the whole lesson, I was sneezing like hell. My nose feels weird and I just don't feel comfortable. Sigh. Must be the seafood platter I ate last night which has caused me to fall sick...

I went rollerblading with Shixing and BC yesterday. Celene was supposed to join us as well, but she could only make it in the morning while I had to work in the morning. The good thing was Shixing would be driving which means that it's so much convenient and fast! haha. After parking the car at some ulu carpark we changed into our blades and we started blading. Everything is quite okay, except that I'm still scared of going down slope! Somehow or rather, I'll just lose control when I am going downslope. If I can overcome that, I guess I would have up another level in rollerblading. Keke. And most importantly, I need to master well the techinique of turning.

It seems like the whole world likes to come ECP on weekend. I seem to see the same old familiar faces every Saturday. Haha. I'm not exaggerating, but I do really find some faces to be quite familiar. Anyway, I guess I will go ECP every Saturday from now onwards as my favourite bicycle shop auntie told me that they would be closed from 25th September onwards. It's so sad. this would mean that I could no longer rent bikes or blades from her anymore. Does it also mean that I could no longer go ECP? That's so upsetting. But then again, this would give me a good reason to buy my own pair of blades. Should I or should I not? Maybe I shall buy myself a present for my birthday and that would be a pair of rollerblades. hehe.

After rollerblading, we went to Parkway Parade to eat at Fish & Co. The seafood platter was damn nice! Haha. I love it to the max! Shixing also introduced me the ice cream at Scoopz which was made from natural fruits. But, I was so full that I just tried a few mouthfuls of Shixing's. Actually, I realize Parkway Parade can be quite a happening place to shop. Maybe I shall go there to shop someday.

Oh, it's raining on a Sunday again. Sigh. I guess I should go take a nap now.

It's Weekend!

Yeah! It's weekend again! I'm so happy!

Anyway, I've received my first birthday card today! It's from Partyworld. Being their VIP member, Partyworld has sent me a really nice birthday card and a lot of vouchers! I simply love vouchers. Since Partyworld is so sincere (super got cheng yi), I shall support them from now on, or for at least for this month since I have the vouchers! One of the voucher actually entitles me to $20 off the total bill and a free birthday cake. This is so sweet, isn't it? But then again, there's still one month to my birthday. Haha.

If you guys have my msn, you would know that I have been using the nick, Princess Angeline since my birthday last year. Times really flies, I didn't realize I've been using this nick for over a year. Every year, I would always feel so princess on my birthday. Just hope that I would have a wonderful birthday celebration this year as well. Since I am not born with royal blood, I would at least want to be Princess Angeline for a day. And that would be my birthday. Heehee. But then again, it's really very off that I have to work on my birthday this year. Argh!

------

Know what is my lastest addiction? My lastest addiction is to sign up for saving or insurance plans! I've been hearing presentations for quite a lot of plans and the problem is, all the plans seem good. But, I have limited funds. So, I guess I got to think carefully before making any commitments.

Back

Hey! I'm back. Don't worry, I'm still alive and kicking.

To say the truth, I do feel weird if I don't blog for one day. I'm so used to blog everyday.

But, out of sudden, I got nothing to write about.

Is my life so boring nowadays?

------

It's kinda interesting to go to different branches every week. I get to meet different kinds of BMs, different kinds of CSMs, different kinds of tellers and different kinds of sales people. And I get to see the unique working style of each branch. The only sad thing is, I feel so bored at times as there is nobody to talk to! So, I'm really glad when I met Ferlyn at Sun Plaza. There's finally somebody I know and somebody who I can have lunch with. Anyway, working at Sun Plaza is quite cool as I managed to meet up with Simin and HQ for lunch since it's so near their house anyway.

Two more days at Sun Plaza and it will be weekend again!

Service

I used to like to wear a particular shirt with these wordings to school -

It's true hard work never killed anybody but I figure why take the chance?

That's my motto back in university. That probably explains my university results. haha. But as for now, I simply can't apply that. There's no free lunch in this world, so I must really work hard to prove myself.

------

Providing good service is really important. A particular customer called me this afternoon, telling me that he wanted me to help him with a housing loan. Apparently, I used to help him to do some capital repayment or some housing loan enquiries back in Compass Point. He like my service and he was hoping that I could handling his housing loan. I was telling him that I would get my BM who is more professional to handle his case, but he actually said that he thinks that I am professional enough. I am really touched by his comments. His comments really make my day. That's the reason why I love to be in service industry. Though you have to handle difficult customers most of the time, occassionally such nice customers would make your day. They will make you feel that whatever you have suffered in the past is worth it.

Good service rulz!

------

September seems to be a birthday month! I realize a lot of my friends' birthday falls in this month. It's such a happy month. And a lot of my friends are getting married in October! There are Brother Greg, Alicia and Jason (and maybe me? Keke. Just kidding)! Wow. These two months are just going to be so happening!

Blur Queen

I think I've partied too hard on Saturday night. Up till now, I'm still in party mode. The hip hop music keeps ringing in my ears.

I really can't stand myself.

I woke up super early this morning so that I would not be late for work at the new branch. But know what? I actually took the wrong side of the bus! Thus, instead of arriving at Yishun MRT station, I ended up at Punggol MRT station. What the... To no choice, I had to take cab to work again. I wonder if it's a curse or what. Somehow, I just got to take cab for work on my first day of reporting to each new branch.

I was really happy to see Ferlyn at the branch! For once, I could see some familar face man. As William was kinda busy, I got to catch up with Ferlyn. She was so shocked to see me that she even asked if she was seeing the wrong person. Haha. We also met up with Simin for lunch as she stays nearby. It was great meeting them as we began to update one another with gossips. Keke. Though I must admit I don't really know a lot of gossips. I'm not one who gossip you see. Haha.

As usual, while everybody was busy with their work on a busy Monday, I felt kinda useless. All I could do was to observe and to learn as much things as possible. (This is a bit out of point... When observing them, I realize that all the girls seem to have very good complexion?!! Why do I have so many pimples? Sigh. I want to have beautiful and smooth complexion like them. Argh!) Back to the main point, I wish I could have some hands-on experience. And I was happy that William told me that I could go branch early tomorrow and he would let me open branch! Though I got to wake up early, I'm kinda excited about it.

It would be a wonderful day at work tomorrow!

------

Anyway, I have decided that I shall be nice and not gossip about this particular friend. Come to think of it, it would be quite upset to hear such gossip of yourself, so why gossip about people? Okay, maybe it's really quite hard for me to stop gossiping totally, for a start, maybe I can cut down on gossiping? =p

Happy Birthday to Jo

It's Jo's birthday today! Happy birthday to ya babe!

I met up with Jo yesterday to go Comex with her siblings. It was really crowded but we were really lucky to be able to find a packing lot once we drove into the car park. Everything was very cheap there and I was very tempted to buy the speakers as the speakers were damn nice and cheap! But, I guess I don't really have much use for the speakers since my speakers are working fine. On top of that, I was tempted to buy mp3 for myself so that I can bring it along for my weekly jog, but I didn't buy since I figured out that I could use my wonderful N70 as mp3. In the end, I bought a very stylo thumbdrive for myself.

Anyway, I had an ugly experience at the Comex fair. The staff of a particular big company which shall not be named in case I would be sued are just so irritating. They basically made a fool out of Jo and me but giving wrong instructions! I was freaking pissed that I kinda created a din over there. Come to think of it, maybe I should have just cooled down as what boss has always said, what goes around comes around. One day, I may be in such ugly situation given that I am still in the service sector. I should be more understanding, but I was just so pissed! By the way, this is not the first time that I've received such bad service from the same company. Argh. My advice to this company is that if you want to compete with the international companies, you have to watch out the people you recruit.

After that, Jo's sister drove us to Gallery Hotel. Yes, we'll be staying over at Gallery Hotel for one night! I've always gone that area to club, but it's my first time staying in such high class hotel! When we entered our room, we were mesmerized! It's very nice! Look at this!



Our room! Look at the pillows! It's very soft, big and fluffy! So nice to sleep on. And there are so many pillows for me to hug. Even the comforter is very cosy! I really had a very good sleep on the bed last night!



The cool toilet. The doors of the toilet is those see through kind - which means that the people outside can actually see the person inside bathing. Haha. It's kinda cool for those lovey dovey couples!

We were basically like 2 suaku people who have never stayed in a hotel before! After overcoming our excitement, we decided to go swimming! We didn't know what to wear to the swimming pool and so we went there to take a look in our shirt and shorts. After making sure that everybody actually worn bathrobe to the pool, we worn our bathrobes to the pool too.

The pool is damn cool! As Jo and I were in the pool, we were saying that how nice it is if we could enjoy such life forever. It's so relaxing and shuang. We stayed there for a while only as it was getting late and some of our friends would be coming over soon..



After my swim in the bathrobe. I have been wanting to wear a bathrobe (after swimming) since I was young, hence I decided to take a photo of me in bathrobe! I love wearing bathrobe!

It was dinner time! Maomao, Joanna and Jo's friends came to join us for dinner. We had dinner at this Japanese restuarant. As there were 8 of us, we were given our private room! Given that all of us talked so loudly, it was actually a good idea for us to be inside so that we would not disturb other customers. haha.



Ailing subsequently came with the bouquet of flowers for Jo!



My happy set meal - Unagi Don

The food is damn nice! I really love it. I guess I shall come back here to eat one of these days!

After our dinner, we went back to the hotel room for some friendly drinking session. Bascially, we were busy taking photos as Jo was afraid that if she didn't take the photos now, she might be too drunk later. haha. We were basically talking nonsense and chilling out. Most of the photos are in my boss' camera as my camera was low batt (what's new?).



The group photo of everybody!

Finally, we lighted the candles...



Jo and her secret recipe's cake



The hot chicks

We brought quite a lot of liquor but in the end, we only drank one bottle of Chivas and then we headed to MOS! (We were supposed to go Butterfactory but the door bitch was so irritating that we decided to go MOS instead.)

MOS is cool! I like the music though I must say the place was kinda too crowded. We ordered tequila shots, and after drinking it, I got to say that I really hate tequila shots! You can make me drink flaming lamboghini or sex on the beach, or whatever, just dont make me drink tequila shots. It's damn disgusting. PUI. Even the thought of it now makes me feel like puking. haha.

Actually, our birthday girl was very steady for the whole night until we gave her the Flaming Lamboghini! She did something real funny, but I guess it shall be our private joke for those who were there. haha. Jo, I would never forget what you did! That was really classic!

By the time we reached hotel, it was already four plus. The birthday girl fell asleep after bathing. Haha. I guess she was really tired. And I had a wonderful sleep on the comfortable bed too. Keke.

And you won't believe that we actually woke up at nine this morning to go swimming! The weather was good! I really wish I could always go swimming in such pool every weekend. So cool man. Keke.

I'm just going to rest well now at home. I must get ready for work tomorrow at a new environment! Ganbattle!

------

Bimbo or not bimbo?

If you wana test whether you are a bimbo or not, go to the guest rooms of the Gallery Hotel. If you could see the room number, congratulations to you, it shows that you are not a bimbo. But, if you can't, it's okay cos you are not the only one.

My friend was commenting that why is it that in my previous entry, it seems like most girls only go for looks as every sentence has the word "good-looking". Then I replied, at least girls look for looks and other factors while guys simply go for Big Boobs. Heehee. No offence to the guys ya? I'm just kidding. Most guys go for looks and big boobs. haha.

I don't have to work tomorrow!

Time really flies. Two weeks of training had passed just like that. Just when I was getting used to the working environment and colleagues, I had to move on. All of them especially my mentors have been very helpful and nice to me! They really taught me a lot of things for the past 2 weeks, hence, I've bought some snacks for them to show a token of my appreciation for their help rendered to me during my attachment. I'm just going to miss the branch's personal toilets which are forever so clean. And given that I tend to go toilet quite often, the branch's personal toilet is a plus point to me. Keke. And people there are nice too. =p

For the next one month, I would be like a nomad. Travelling to different branches every week. I guess it's quite an experience given that I would be meeting many different kinds of people and I would realize that every branch has a different culture. It would be an eye-opening experience for me. And the good news is that I don't have to report to work so early next week, but this will also mean that I can't go home early anymore! The earliest I could go home would probably be like 8+? Hmm... But, I guess I should be happy that at least for one week, I don't have to wake up at 6+.

It's friday today and I'm at home. Surprised? Well, if you know me well, you should know I seldom go out on friday lately as I got to accompany my grandma at home. It's not a bad idea to stay at home on friday night actually as I could do my own things and I could even go jogging.

Anyway, I just had a great jog and I felt really great. With the ear phones in my ears listening to my favourite music, I really enjoyed the jog. That's the kind of life I want. Going jogging twice a week after work, doing yoga once a week at night and go cycling or blading at ecp during weekend. Will I able to achieve this kind of life in future? That would depend greatly on my working hours and my efficiency at work of course.

I'm very happy today as I don't have to go to work tomorrow! Haha.

May all of you have a great weekend too!

Tears and Rain by James Blunt

How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
