War
Going back to work after public holiday is horrible. From the moment I stepped into the branch, I was so busy that I couldn't breathe. I was always on the move and I hardly can find time to drink water. I had a 5mins lunch at 4+ and worked all the way till 10pm. It's scary, isn't it? Given that I still got some work left undone. But, I told myself that one can never finish his or her work, so I should just leave at 10pm. Keke.
Today is a public holiday which means that I'm going to be real busy tomorrow again. As such, I guess I'll try to go to office much earlier tomorrow to clear my work.
It's going to be war time again tomorrow. =p

I love Public Holiday!
I
went for a shopping spree at Wisma yesterday. And I spent 200-300 within a few hours there. It was totally madness. It came to a point when I told myself I can't shop anymore if not I got to eat grass till my next pay day. And I forbade myself to use credit cards as I've realized that one tends to overspend when using credit cards. Anyway, my sister bought me 2 really nice bra sets too! haha.
After our great shopping trip, my sister and I rushed to Indoor Stadium to watch Wang Lee Hom's concert! I was really excited about his concert! And our seats were quite good as we were quite close to the stage! Wang Lee Hom is really very handsome and charming! And he's cute too. Most importantly, he has the looks, the vocals and he's talented! He played piano, violin, guitar, drums and even er-hu. I was so mesmerized by him. And when he sang Kiss Goodbye, I nearly cried. It was really very touching and nice. If any guy sings this song to me, I would just faint. Anyway, one good thing about this concert was, there were lyrics on the screen! This makes it so easy to sing along with him! The atmosphere was really great. I'm so glad I was there.
Lee Hom, Looking so cute!
Playing Guitar
Like a Prince-Charming, playing ViolinAnd my nice brother-in-law came to fetch us after the concert. This saved us from the trouble to take cab to go home. Having a car is so convenient. We even drove to Geylang to eat my favourie tian-ji zou! I wanted to eat dou hua as well but I got to give that a miss as I was just too full.
It was a great public holiday. If only I could lead life like this everyday. If only...
Me, posing with my cute sheep in the car.

WARNING: Don't Read If You Intend To Watch Death Note
As it would be a public holiday today, I went to watch Death Note last night. It was a very exciting movie, and I must say it's one of the best movie I had watched in the year (though I must admit I seldom watch movie...). The show was about 2hrs long, but it was so exciting that when the show ended, my heart was still thumping and I can't wait to watch Part II. In fact, I would think that Part II would be just as exciting, if not, it would be even more excting.
But, if you intend to watch this show, do not continue to read from here as it may spoil the excitement of the show.
Shinigami, the God of Death, dropped a notebook in the human world where a weary genius picked it up. "The human whose name is written in this note shall die", it said. This was the notebook of death that determined people’s death. Light Yagami, an extremely bright elite university student was the one to possess this ultimate tool that should remain only in the hands of God. Light decides to create an ideal world and begins to hold the scales to judge the criminals in his discretion. Meanwhile, ICPO (International Criminal Police Organization) has placed a mysterious detective called "L" in the Japanese police force to investigate the series of criminal dying suddenly. "L", having solved many unresolved cases in the world, begins to tighten the investigative screws over these cases. But Light cleverly manipulates the notebook of death to toss and shake off the investigation. The future of mankind is at the mercy of this crucial and fierce battle of the two brains. When Light started to use the Death Note, his intention was to eliminate the bad guys as he realized that there were criminals out there who were not punished by law due to some reasons. His initial intention was good. However, gradually, as he was bent on winning the "L", he seemed to lose his senses. He started to kill whoever blocked his way and what's so scary about him and Death Note was he could control manipulate death. And he was really good at planning the squence of deaths such that he would never be suspected. Even his girlfriend had became his sacrificial item in order to win "L". Had he lose his senses? Or there was a killer instinct in him from the start? In fact, he was becoming to be God of Death.
Anyway, I would say all the actors in Death Note had done their parts well. "L", totally looked like a genius kid who doesn't need to sleep and would just munch on snacks while in deep thoughts. His image in the show was very appropriate. When he first appeared in the show, everybody burst into laughter. Never did we expect "L" to look like this! Haha. While Light was totally like a typical smart, rich (and handsome) guy who is the son of Police head. Both Light and "L" are genius. (And this double confirms my theory that smart people are just weird or freaky.) Like what "L" had said in the show, both Light and he were immatured kids who hate to lose. Are they playing the game of death just to determine who is the winner ultimately?
Come to think of it, if I were the owner of Death Note, what would I do? Seriously speaking, I doubt I would dare to write anybody's name, be it the bad guys or enemies. Cos to me, who are we to judge who deserve to die? And who are we to control people's destiny. And most importantly, I feel that no matter what bad deeds the person might have done in his life, we have no right to kill him. The only name I would write is probably my own name.
All in all, Death Note was a good movie. I truly enjoyed the show and I wouldn't mind watching it again!

I just wanna say...
To my family, I'm really lucky to be born in this family as I feel so loved by all. To my granny, thanks for bringing me up and preparing breakfast for me every morning. I'm so sorry that I would get impatient sometimes that I would scream at you. I'm sorry. To my grandmother, thanks for being such a wonderful grandmother. I still remember that I used to cry terribly whenever I was going home from your house after a week stay or so. I'm so sorry that I didn't visit you so often.To my mother, I really love you and I hope that you are happy. Though I never say it out, you are a capable mother and I really love the food you cook to the extent that my friends always say that I am picky.
To my sister, thanks for tolerating all my nonsense. I guess I've been irritating you since I've learnt how to talk. Thanks for listening to all my complaints and being such a wonderful shopping mate. Keke. Spending 200-300 on a shopping trip with you is so common. haha. Anyway, sleeping alone nowadays is really lonely.
To Yukai, thanks for loving me. Thanks for taking such good care of me all this while. Thanks for treating me like a princess though I don't deserve such treatment.
To my secondary school friends, I'm really lucky to have you guys as my friends. My secondary school days were simply my happiest days in my life in which I had lotsa fun and happiness. To Joey, thanks for being my listening ears. You are one of the few who actually know my secrets, so if I pass on, you better make sure you keep my secrets. To Yuxiu, thanks for organizing the gathering and trips. And you are always so sweet and nice, if only I can inherit 10% of your sweetness then maybe I can behave more like a girl.
To my Jc friends, you guys are just freaks! Each and every of you seem to be doing so well in different fields. If any of you become famous in future, must remember me ya? Keke. To Adeline, thanks for always being the one organizing outing. And I must say, you are a wonderful roomie. To my class girls, it was really exciting to rush for movies or mahjong sessions after GP lessons back in JC days ya?! It's weird that all I can remember about my jc days were those mahjong and movie sessions, nothing else.
To my Hc friends, we had suffered a lot during our term but I guess it was those suffering that made us closer. I would never forget those tears and sweat we had shred building that beautiful float of ours. Luckily, our effort was paid off when we won first prize. To Audris, do you still remember that we stayed up late in school till night time for a few weeks just to chereograph the cheerleading routine? That routine was my pride as we had won first for Cheerleading competition with our wonderful routine.
To my course mates, thanks for slacking and studying with me during my university days though we tend to slack more. Sometimes, I do wonder whether my results will be better if I never know you guys. But, on second thoughts, I guess I rather suffer in my grades than to miss the chance to know you guys.
To my sports camp friends, I would never know what's life if I never know you guys! Those meetings which lasted till 10pm at night, or those supper sessions (which made me real fat) or those cycling trips at Pulau Ubin were really fond memories of my university days. My cousin was really right that if I had never gone to Sports Camp, I would regret. I'm glad that I went.
To my MT mates, you guys are basically the first group of people I got to interact after my graduation. Each and every of you are different and this makes our MT an interesting MT. To Celene, thanks for listening to my complaints, be it through emails or phone. Your presence has made staying in OCBC much more bearable. To Hq, Sp, Alicia John and Ray, it's really great to know you guys as well.
To my Compass Point colleagues, it's really great working with you guys. You guys are simply so fun to work with. To Jo, thanks for being such a fun colleague. Though both of us should learn to be more discreet as we seem to be caught sending emails to each other or talking over the phone all the time. haha. To Boss, though I've said it a lot of times, I must say it again, you are really a great boss. Thanks for all the advice and wise words. I would remember them for life. Like you have said, I would give you a call when I promote to AVP someday. Anyway, do you still remember our bet? if I feel daring one day, I may accept the bet. ON?
To that someone, thanks for telling me about people. You have told me not to trust people so easily, but I still maintain my stand. I still feel that there should be trust between people.
A big THANK YOU to all the wonderful people around me.
I'm such a blessed person.

Virus Attack!
I think my blog has been attacked by some virus. However, being a computer idiot, I have no idea how to get rid of that cpanel thingy. So, if you guys have any idea how to get rid of that pop up screen, do let me know ya?
After one week of doing relief at Bukit Panjang, I'm back at my old "home". To be frank, it's kinda weird to be back there and I was kinda nervous when I went back there. It just feels different. It's kinda stressful working there as I can never seem to be able to finish my work. And most importantly, it's a busy branch which means that I have to be more efficient. Just like when I went to branch early yesterday, I was hoping to clear some of my work, but in the end, my phone kept ringing that I didn't manage to finish my work.
Moreover, I doubt I could meet up with my friends for this 2 weeks as I could expect myself to stay up late for work almost every night. But the good thing is, I could wake up much later for this 2 weeks! =p

Hazy Day
I hate the haze.It irritates my throat and causes me to have flu. And most importantly, it causes me to have asthma again. I feel so weak nowadays as I would feel breathless after walking for a few days outdoors nowadays. Even when I am typing this, I feel breathless. I can't even go jogging at night. I used to enjoy the fresh air early in the morning, but now all I can smell is POLUTTED AIR. I want my fresh air.

I'm finally back.After being MIA for so long, I'm finally back. Well, my pc (or rather my internet connection) had been down for the past one week. Thankfully, I can finally be online now.------To my dear friend, I know it's difficult. But, you must be strong. Just remember that we'll always be there for you.

All the best to Ailing
My favourite BO, Ailing had left Compass Point for the greener pasture. Though it's kinda sad that she's leaving, I guess it's for her own good and we all should be happy for her. Anyway, this woman is damn happening. She had planned her farewell party one month in advance and it was one day full of programs. All the sales staff and tellers were there. It goes to show how popular she is. The KTV session was quite happening. Even my ex-csm sang a song! Under the orders of Ailing, all had to sing a song for her. It's definitely not a problem for me since I always love to sing KTV though my singing sux. keke. And of course, I'm like her cameraman! haha. Like she has told me, the main reason why I'm being invited to this farewell party is because she wants me to take photos. Knowing that my camera will always be low batt at the crucial moment, I even brought my charger to charge at the KTV room. Haha. 
Me and Ailing!
Our favourite BO with the sales staff - Me, dajie, Jo, Maomao and Jason
Group Photo. I simply think that my 10seconds timer function of my camera is damn good.
Jo and me with our favourite BO. We were crying like mad when we sang the sad song, ju ni yi lu shun fengAfter a friendly session at KTV, we went to MOS! Despite me wearing so off-form, I still go MOS, just for my dear Ailing. Somemore, I was not feeling well with a flu and sore throat. But, since the focus is not on me, it's all right. I'm just some miscellaneous person. Haha. 
All the hot babes of Compass Point at MOSIt was indeed a happening night. The music is really damn good. I guess it's still one of my favourite clubbing place though the drinks are really expensive. Hope that Ailing had enjoyed herself and just wana tell Ailing this, We will miss you. Compass Point will never be the same without you.

The Wedding Month
October is basically a month for wedding. All in all, I had attended a total of 3 weddings this month. And I actually attended two weddings for 2 consecutive days.
Attending wedding for 2 consecutive days is no joke. It's really tiring. Luckily, I've managed to get morning off today if not I guess I would be stoning at work. I had been so busy over the weekend that I hardly had time to have some constructive rest. And it's Monday today, so all I can look forward to is the coming weekend which means that I have to endure for another 5 days.
I love attending wedding dinner as it never fails to make me feel so happy for the newly wed. Seeing them so much in love and with so many people witnessing this grand occasion, they must be real happy. To some, a wedding dinner is just a wedding dinner. But, I believe to the couple, it's an important day which marks the day in which they are going to start the new phase in their life. It's no longer about You or Me, it's about we.
On Saturday, it was our Brother Jason's wedding. We aimed to reach at 7.30 but due to some stupid taxi driver who obviously didn't know Singapore roads very well plus the jam at CTE, we were quite late. By the time we reached there, most of the guests were already there. And the dinner started soon. As usual, our Brother Jason looked so blur and cute. Haha. Though I don't know the wife personally, I believe both of them would make a great couple.
It was great meeting up with my Compass Point colleagues. Anyway, Brother Jason is so cute. When he was sending us off, he was so touched that his eyes were red. He must have been waiting for this day to come for a long time. Brother Jason and Jasmine, I wish you a happy and blissful marriage forever.
A happy photo of the newly-wed. ------I didn't have to work last Sunday, but on Sunday, I actually woke up at 6am! And you know why? That's because it's Alicia's wedding and I'm the jiemei! As Alicia had requested all of us to wear pink, I had no choice but to wear a pink tube dress though it's obviously so NOT me. If you know me, you know that I seldom wear pink as I think this colour is too sweet for me. But since it's her wedding, I'll do anything just for her!
Sp came to fetch me at 7+ and we went to Alicia's place together. All the jiemeis (Celene, hq, Ferlyn, sp and Serene) were very excited! Alicia s very pretty! I was totally mesmerized by her!
All the jie-meis!
My and my dearest friendAnd of course, we had to torture the groom before we let him see Alicia. Serene is an experienced jiemei so we leave everything to her, and all of us basically are there just to make out the numbers! Haha. The most romantic part would be when the groom managed to choose the song that Alicia wanted to listen and he sang out loud for her! He's someone who doesn't sing songs, yet he actually sang the song for her today! So sweet. It's just so sweet seeing them kissing!
Francis and Alicia
May our POWERS combine!However, never did we expect the brothers to play a trick on us too! They took away all our shoes! And Alicia's da jie was damn angry! She started to scold the brothers and made a big fuss! In the end, the brothers had no choice but to collect the shoes back and put at the door step. Anyway, Alicia's da jie is damn powerful. I like her character - strong and stubborn. If not for her, we would look quite stupid, walking bare-footed!
At around 12pm, we can finally go home to catch some rest before going back to hotel. And I went back to hotel at 4pm to help out and to witness the solemnization.
Alicia, looking so sweet!
All the jie-meis, all dressed for the wedding dinner
Me and Alicia, da-jie!It was a very sweet and romantic wedding. It makes me wonder whether my wedding will be so romantic and sweet as well? Since young, I always fantasize to have a perfect wedding. A wedding in which all my relatives and close friends are there to witness the day where I get to marry the guy I love so much that I will want to spend rest of my life with him. And I will definitely be the happiest person on earth on that day. =p
I'll be waiting patiently for that day to come.

Off Form
I woke up this morning and the first thing on my mind was - Where's my wallet? I thought all my personal stuff was still with Shixing (or still in MOS), but I didn't know that my friends were thoughtful enough to ensure that my present, bag and wallet were back at my house. Well, a group of us went MOS last night and it was really fun! Nice music with great company. And I was really happy when Celene called me, saying that she would be coming MOS too! It was so great seeing her and she was really nice to give me a very nice bracelet from SK. She is such a dearie. It was really enjoyable, hanging out with them.Everything was fun until I was drunk. I was drunk - drunk to the extent that my buddy had to carry me out of MOS and I just concussed in the cab. I was shocked when I opened my eyes, and I was back home. It was amazing that I could still bathe and wake up this morning at 6+ to go to work. I'm simply such an amazing person.Anyway, buddy, I'm so sorry that I was so off-form and it seems like you always have to take care of me whenever we go clubbing. I won't find excuses for being drunk, all I can say is it will never happen again. Red wine is simply my nemesis.I'll be a good girl from now onwards.

Did I Marry the Right Person?
This is a very good article. Read it. Those who are still single may learn something from here.... Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage....DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?" I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said,"It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was acompletely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love...Because it's happening TO YOU. People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.Falling is love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marrythe right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage forfulfillment.Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love."Because it takes time, effort, and energy . And most importantly, it takes WISDOM . You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... You can "make" love.Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

It's my Birthday!
Today is Princess Angeline's Birthday! I'm feel so loved by all my friends. As I am telling my friend the other day, I may be just an ordinary girl, but I'm definitely a lucky and happy girl as I have many wonderful friends around me! All of them make me feel like a Princess every year!
In the afternoon, David called me, asking out for a dinner. I was quite surprised as normally when we're going to meet up for dinner or what, we would always plan in advance. True enough, he and Limin and arranged to meet me for a dinner. Haha.
Limin and Me
The best shot taken by David. This guy can't take photos for nuts.
Both of them bought me a rollerblade bag to put my skates for my weekly rollerblading session. It's so thoughtful of them, isn't it? Both of them are my best clubbing khakis as well. I would never forget those uni times when we used to club together quite often with Samuel, Paul and Caline.-------After that, I went to meet up with the rest at Devils Bar - the place where we used to go like once a week? Sk and I would be celebrating our birthday together as his birthday falls on 3rd October as well!
Hq, Sp and me who are like super early... Sp left super early as well. She left at 11pm before the party even started. haha. But, it's the thoughts that counts so I'm happy that she made an effort to come! Both Hq and Sp bought me a versatile sheep which can act as pillow or soft toy with a cute piggy box. It's so cute! (Ops, I'm one year older, but why am I still so childish? Hmm...)
Pammy! Sometimes, I feel so stressed taking photos with her. If you see her in person, you would know why. Haha. She is the pride of all chinese women!
Hot Jo! She's really hot, isn't it? Jo is damn sweet. She bought me Wang Lee Hom's concert ticket! I was basically screaming like hell when I saw the present! I'm so excited about the concert! I can't wait to listen to Wang Lee Hom singing my favourite song, Kiss Goodbye live! Thanks Jo! By the way, I'm so sorry that your present is still under progress... Sorry!
Boss, Jason and Ailing. It's very nan de that Brother Jason actually came to my party as well! Thanks Jason and thanks for the Ong Lai Crystal! It's nice and I would place it at my working table once I have a permanent accomodation ya? They also gave me a really nice bouquet of flowers and a piggy bolster!
Boss a.k.a my father. Thanks for coming, boss. I know you are tired, so I really appreciate your presence!
Ailing and I taking photo with our BEST FRIEND, Martell
A happy group photo. Are we all drunk or what? Why do we look so happy?
Brother Greg! I think I've said something very nonsensical to Greg when he left last night. Ops. 
Ailing and the guy who always bullies me, Maomao! 
Sk and me on Devils Bar stage, celebrating our birthday with everybody!
My 0.5 partner and Happy Jason. Anyway, Jason is like super nice can. When I was puking in the toilet, he waited patiently for me outside the toilet and he even helped me to carry my bag. He's the one who had seen my shagged look when I came out from the toilet, smelling like a skeleton of walking vomit.
My Happy Cake! It's so cute and nice right!!! And I'm only one year old!
Sk and me. Happy Birthday to the both of us!It was a great birthday celebration for me and I really had lotsa fun (minus the puking part)! Thank you to all my friends who actually remember my birthday! Thanks for all the birthday wishes and smses! I'm really a happy girl.
Last of all, Happy Birthday to Alex, SK & me!

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Tham
We attended Greg's ROM last Sunday at Amara Hotel. And I have been telling them the Laksa served at the reception is good. Haha. I ate that last year at my Sis ROM and I fell in love with Amara Hotel's Laksa. So, if you are thinking where to hold your wedding solemnization, you can consider Amara Hotel and of course, please kindly remember to invite me as well so that I can eat the laksa... Ops, I mean I can witness the bonding of a couple.
I love attending wedding as it's always so sweet and romantic. It's just so wonderful to see a couple who is deeply in love getting married. And I always feel so happy whenever I see the couple marching in. It's just so sweet.
Here are some of the photos of my Brother Greg's Great Day...
Sexy Pammy and a girl with swollen eyes
Boss and his favourite GIRLS
What a lovey dovey couple
This is just so sweet.Once again, Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Tham. May you two have a happy and blissful marriage ever.
