~*angie's lil reverie*~

Why can't people just be themselves?

I hate it when some people actually put on a mask when they talk to me. Why can't they just be real, and be themselves? If you don't like me, just tell me. I feel it scary when you pretend to be nice to me when deep inside you, you feel like killing me. Is it so difficult being real? Sigh.

Blading Madness

I'm so tired! I'm feeling so tired that I think I would fall asleep immediately if I were to lie on my bed now. I just had 4 hrs of blading and I'm really tired from blading. I just feel like nua-ing in front of my pc till it's time for me to sleep. Keke.

Sometimes, I wish I could just rot at home during weekend, but on second thoughts, I would be too bored if I were to do that. But don't you find that sometimes it's really damn shuang to nua at home esp if it's a rainy day? Just like yesterday, I was at my sister place and other than going out for lunch, I was nua-ing at her place. It's very windy and it just feels so good to watch tv on the comfy sofa. It would also be great if I could read a nice storybook while lying on the sofa. I nearly couldn't drag myself out of the house to meet my friends for dinner and KTV in town.

Weekend came and passed like a wind. It's Sunday and I got to work tomorrow. Argh! The good thing is I'm going to be on leave from Thursday onwards, which means that I can have a good rest again. =p

I really love being on leave.

Pepper Lunch

I have always wanted to try Pepper Lunch, but somehow or rather, I just don't have the chance to eat that. But, I managed to eat that for lunch yesterday!

It was really nice! I like the Beef Pepper Rice Set! It was a satisfying lunch as it was cheap, fast and filling! A happy lunch indeed.

Yummy! This photo is making me so HUNGRY especially when I just woke up from my bed!

Okay. Enough of food... As I don't have to work this weekend, I went to watch the Chinese show, Happy Birthday last night. It was such a romantic show and I really like it. But, I guess the guys probably won't like it as it's just too girlie?

It looks almost as an oath, Mimi (Rene Liu) would receive an e-mail from Nam (Louis Koo) every birthday, a guy that she never forget. But the e-mail is delayed 42 hours this time.

Nam and Mimi once were lovers when they were University students. Mimi was afraid of losing Nam, therefore she suggested being “soul mate” with him instead. Eventually, they separated when Nam went abroad for studying. Nam has got many girlfriends but none of them could keep in good and long relationship, because his heart was stick on Mimi. Of course Mimi knew that and she couldn’t leave Nam alone too. But Mimi strongly believed that not to acquire each other is the only way to keep romantic relationship forever and ever.

One day, Nam told Mimi that he was getting married. From then on, Mimi would receive a birthday greeting from Nam every year. It was just like a clue to prove that love still exists between them. Only Mimi’s friend knew that the greetings were not sent by Nam…

It's quite a sad show actually as I was tearing like nobody business at the end of the show. But, all in all, I would say it's a nice show. =p

It really feels good not to work on Saturday! Heehee! Have a nice weekend!

Compass Point's Mee Hoon Kuay is NICE

I went back to Compass Point for lunch. I chose my favourite mee hoon kuay. Maybe I have not been eating that for very long time since August last year, I find the mee hoon kuay to be very nice. I wanted to eat my favourite sliced fish porridge actually, but the queue was very long as usual. Perhaps I should try to go there to eat that during non-peak hours. =p

Anyway, I went to Hougang Mall to work today. It feels weird to go to work at 9+. I think I'm so used to wake up early that I find it weird to wake up so late today. And my conclusion is, I prefer to wake up early to go to work. Though it's quite tiring to wake up early, at least I prefer to go to work early and finish my work early. And most importantly, I can go home early. =p

I believe tomorrow will be a great day for me!

A very random post

When you see a lot of posts in a day, there is a high possiblity that I'm off. I can't find time to blog on normal working days, thus I tend to blog a lot when I'm off. Keke. Oh yeah, I'm off today again, and I feel so nua. I had a late breakfast cum lunch at 2pm then I had a long long nap till evening time. I'm such a pig. I guess I miss blading so much that I dreamt that I was blading at ECP. Seriously speaking, I wouldn't mind going ECP to blade today if ECP is not SO FAR from my house...

And the most weird thing is, my whole family is at home. My dad, my mum, my granny and even my brother are at home. For a second, I thought today is some public holiday or what. Haha.

So, as what I have planned to do, I started digging my wardrobe, trying to eliminate some of the clothes which I could no longer wear, or clothes which I don't think I will wear again. To my horror, I have quite a lot of clothes. Then why is it that I always find that I don't have enough clothes to wear? Hmm... Or is it a girls' thing that we just have this urge to buy new clothes all the time?

Chinese New Year is coming, and this would mean that I'm going to spend quite a lot of money on food, ang pows and clothes, etc. Thus, I guess I just got to eat grass for meals or try not to spend too much on unneccessary things for this 2 months. And most importantly, I got to stop shopping! Shopping is so sinful. Sigh. I guess I got to fix a strict budget for myself, if not I would probably over spend again.

And so, I'm going to be back at work tomorrow. I would be going Hougang Mall tomorrow. It's a challenging branch, so I guess I got to rest well tonight to prepare myself for the war tomorrow. Don't blame me if I say I need to sleep at 10 tonight. Haha.

I'm a pig, remember? Haha.

The pig family!
In fact, I have many other pigs on my bed! Keke. I like anything to do with PIGS!

Life is Beautiful

Sometimes we wonder,"What did I do to deserve this?"

Here is a wonderful explanation...

A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong...

She failed algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her & her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake & asks her daughter if she would like a snack & the daughter says,"Absolutely, Mom, I love your cake."

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.

"Yuck" says her daughter."How about a couple raw eggs?"

"Gross, Mom!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"

"Mom, those are all yucky!"

To which the mother replies:"Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!

Life works the same way.

Many times we wonder why we go through such bad & difficult times.

And it is through bad & difficult times that we grow and become a better person.

I hope your day is a "piece of cake" ...

Life is Beautiful...

Digging out old photos

I was packing my stuff and I came upon some precious photos. As I don't have a scanner, I could only use the bimbotic way of taking photos of the old 4R photos using my canon Ixus 60. So, please pardon the blurness of the photos...

Baby me! I'm simply so cute right?

Audris and me.

This photo was taken after the Cheerleading competition which we won FIRST! I still have that Cheeleading top in my wardrobe, though I doubt I could still wear it. haha.

A picture of my hostel table. This is the place where I always ICQ or surf net when I was staying in hall.

Happy me with my Hall Nine shirt, studying on my bed.

Seriously, other than chatting online and sleeping in my room, I seldom do tutorials in my room let alone study. Haha. I merely take out my textbook to take this photo for show.

Me and my roomie, ade in our Jc PE T-shirts.

I still remember that I would always be very stoned when it's approaching 10+ then I would be in my PMS mood, then subsequently, I would fall asleep. ZzZzzzz.... My roomie, ade was totally opposite from me. She's a night person and she would always stay awake until 3-4+.

My hair used to be so long! Ever since I cut short my hair, my hair has never reached that length anymore. = (

My first and last tme taking part the Street Challenge Netball.

Thanks to Yinqiu who jio-ed all of us to join, if not I guess we probably won't join it. And we won ourselves a bronze medal, though I must admit that it wasn't my effort to win the medal. Haha.

That's all folks! Maybe I will dig out more funny photos to upload here!

Meeting up with my cute sister

I finally met up with Yinqiu today! It's really great to have off day every now and then as it gives me more opportunity to meet up with old friends. It's also like a small break for myself as it's really kinda stressful and tiring when I'm at work. And when I'm off, I'm really OFF as I don't have to think about anything regarding work! Yeah!

Anyway, the last time I met up with Yinqiu was at the SUPERBAND concert which was like million of years ago! Given that we had not met up so long, we had so much to update each other. We talked about our life, our job, our relationship, etc.

Actually, I got to know Yinqiu in Secondary School, but it was only when both of us joined Sports Camp Programmers Comittee, then we became cute sisters. Both of us are basically quite similar. Both of us tend to stone at night and we tend to sleep very early. And most importantly, both of us are LOUD, though I still think that she is LOUDER than me. =p Other than that, both of us also like to take photos a lot. She used to carry her camera everywhere she goes in NTU and we would always take photos! Sometimes, we would even take photos in class. I guess almost all my photos taken in university has her face in it!

Therefore, it's a MUST for us to take photos when we meet up at SIAM KITCHEN today!

Me and my cute sister, Yinqiu!

Is she trying to lick me?

Finally, a nice photo taken by myself! I'm quite good at self-taking photos ya?

My cute sister, you must remember to ask me to be your bridesmaid when you're getting married, okay?

Arsenal vs Man Utd

Despite me feeling really tired, I stayed up to watch the match last night. But, it was a disappointing match.

Man Utd didn't play well and they gave Arsenal far too many opportunities to attack. They should have exercised extra vigilance when we were leading by 1-0. All these "should haves" are pointless since we lost 3 points just like that. They seemed to be complacent. Passes were horrible and the strikers don't seem to have the sense of urgency to score. Is one goal enough for them? It shouldn't be as they should know that Arsenal are good at counterattacking. Last night, it seemed that Arsenal were more determined to win as compared to Man Utd.

It was such a waste.

Daddy's party

It was my dad's birthday party yesterday! He booked a newly opened KTV room in Teck Ghee CC andand invited a lot of his friends there.

As usual, I brought my camera and I started taking photos... haha.

Me and my beloved sister! The reason why I look so red is because, I'm seriously sunburnt. :(
I wonder why is it that my nose is always so RED. I'm like the little red-nose reindeer! ARGH! When can I ever have an even tan?

Posing with my mother. It's hard to catch my mum smiling, so this is really a rare nice photo of me and my mum!

It was an open room concept KTV, so we got to stand on the stage to sing. Seriously speaking, I'm not used to sing on the stage! I prefer to sing in the KTV room. =p

The 2 retro sisters performing on the stage. It's pure coincidence that both of us actually wear the same theme - RETRO!

Mum and Dad

Look at the cake his friends bought him!

Oh god! It's so... er... suggestive. But, I would want to have a cake like this on my birthday! Can I? Haha.

Happy dad with his cake!

And of course, I got to take a photo with the birthday boy. Haha.

We left around 10+ while my parents and their friends were still happily dancing and singing KTV. I'm simply too tired. =p

I love weekend!

I just came back from blading and I'm damn tired. We basically bladed for 3hrs up and down ECP. It was really tiring. I guess I'm really getting old. Last time, I had no problem cycling all the way to the other end, but yesterday, I was really damn tired after cycling to the end. Oh yes, you didn't read wrongly. I went cycling yesterday and I went blading today. Happening ah? Haha. I just love ecp so much. If I live somewhere near ECP, I probably will go there for a jog whenever I feel depressed or stressed.

All in all, it was enjoyable and relaxing. The weather was good though it became kinda hot in the late afternoon. I met my cute sister, YQ and Howard (who seemed to go ECP every sunday as well)! I was still thinking about YQ and the next moment I actually saw her! I had so much to catch up with her, but I guess we could catch up tomorrow over dinner. =p

Anyway, I finally met up with my jc class girls on Friday. All of us were really busy with their work, as a result, it was really difficult to coodinate our timing. Even I myself was late as I was held up by work. Nevertheless, we managed to meet up on Friday, with Huiyi, Yuanmei, Adeline, Amara and Me at Sakae Sushi. The last time we meet up together was also Sakae Sushi, the one at Clarke Quay. We chatted about our work and life. It's really amazing. We were jc classmates and now all of us were already working. Who knows, maybe the next time we meet would be some wedding? You never know. It's a pity that the guys couldn't join us in this gathering. Next time I guess.

Here are some photos from the Friday gathering...

Hungry me and Yuanmei who can't wait to eat sushi once we are seated!

Ade and Huiyi who starts to grow long, long hair!

Me in between 2 skinny girls. I swear that I'm not going to take photos with both of them anymore. They make my face look so round! haha.

2 of my ex-roomies, Ade and Yuanmei

I'm as tall as Ade! FYI, she is 1.71m! Haha. She's my one and all time favourite roomie who takes good care of me during our hall life.

It was a tiring but fun weekend for me as I had been out for the whole day for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Luckily, it's going to be my off day tomorrow, so at least I can rest properly at home tomorrow. Yeah!

More BKK photos

All of us, getting ready to fly to Bangkok! Look at the passport in my hand!

Nice candid shot which I'm not looking at the camera

All of us at the Baiyoke Sky Hotel

For your information, don't ever make calls in Thailand. You won't believe that during my 4D3N stay in Thailand, my hp bills came up to be $60+. What the hell. That's almost like my one month hp bill in Singapore. It's extortion!

Effort and Simplicity

My BIG BIG boss sent this to me and I find it to be kinda inspiring... Read on...

Quote 1:

Ever hear the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine. Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do? After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars. "What?" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill." The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer $2.00
Knowing where to tap $9,998.00

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.

Quote 2:

One of the most memorable case studies I came across on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. The engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and fast but they have to spend many hours looking at boxes. But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, ?he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc. but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem. Learn to focus on solutions not on problems. Be simple, solve simply.

Chinchin, are you feeling better?

I miss Chinchin.

Despite seeing a vet, he's still sick. I miss seeing him running around the balcony and asking me for his favourite food, almond. He used to be very greedy and would always asks me for food, but now, he just sits down there. Sigh. Chinchin has always been a good boy, I really hope that he will recover soon and be a healthy and happy chinchila again.

Get Well soon, Chinchin

My dear Chinchin had fallen sick! The poor boy couldn't walk well and he was like trembling the whole night. Even his favourite almond cannot excite him. Sigh. I seriously hope that he will get well soon so that I can see my naughty and cute Chinchin running around the balcony again.

Anyway, I met up with George yesterday for a simple dinner last night. He was supposed to bring me to some nice place to eat, but due to some unforseen circumstances, we got to settle our dinner with Sakae Sushi. I know it's boring, but I simply love Japanese food. =p

And I had a really great talk with him. It was a good one-to-one talk in which we could just bare our soul to each other. And he shared something interesting with me.

There are 5 stages in a break up.

In the first stage, one tends to be in the Denial stage. This is the stage in which you would live in denial and keeps thinking that the breakup is nothing but a nightmare. And you probably will tell yourself that the break up is just temporary and you two will still be together eventually.

Gradually, you will move on to the next stage in which you start to Question yourself. What has happened to the relationship? Does the guy love you in the first place? What has happened to the promises he has made to you?

Then you would actually start to Bargain with the person. You start to bargain some terms with him. Can we still be friends? Will you still contact me? Will you forget me? Can we still be together?

If you still do not get the answers you want, you will fall into the Depression stage. This is one of the worst stage as you have this feeling that you seem to lose everything. No matter what you do, or where you go, you see images of that person. Then you realize HE used to be your everything.

However, as time passes by, we just got to accept the fact. Acceptance is the final stage of breakup.

Do it apply to any of you? If yes, the good news is you are not alone as I had been through these 5 stages before.

It was really nice talking to George though it was really a pity that we ony met up for a while as I got to rush home to take care of my Chinchillas...

To George, you are always my super nice brother to me in my heart. =p

In life, you are not measured by how many minutes you breathe, but the number of breath-taking moments you create.

I can't blog as blogger is out of order!

It's kinda irritating as I really wanna blog. Not that I have something interesting to blog or what, but I just wanna blog. It's so irritating that I can't see what I've typed. What's wrong with blogger?

Anyway, I called my boss today. I really miss talking to him. He's like so funny and entertaining. He can read me like a book and somehow or rather, he seems to be able to read my mind. He's simply so smart and wise. Last time when I was still at Compass Point, he would always cheer me up when he saw that I was feeling down, if not he would try to enlighten me with his wise words. But, of course, when he's in bad mood, you better leave him alone. He's like my father, my friend and my boss. I'm so glad that he's my boss.

In fact, I miss the whole team of Compass Point. Best friend and I used to eat lunch together everyday, and the whole branch would always gather for happy unhealthy dinner after 6pm. We always do things together. We worked hard together and we partied hard together. Like what my boss likes to say, You Never Walk Alone. In Compass Point, we do everything together.

I really miss Compass Point.

Relaxing off day

Today is my off day.

I was supposed to go swimming.

I was supposed to pack my wardrobe.

I was supposed to pack my messy table.

I was supposed to sort out my old photos and old stuff in my cupboard.

I was supposed to visit my grandma.

I was supposed to meet my friend for dinner.

But, in the end...

All I did for the whole day was to take a long nap and visted my grandma.

One off day is simply not enough.

Good news

I didn't manage to sleep well last night. I couldn't sleep until 2+ and I had to resort to sleep on the floor to fall asleep. And to make things worse, I had a nightmare. I was basically crying miserably in my dreams. But when I woke up, I was very happy that it was just a dream.

Anyway, I got a good news to share with all of you...

I had been promoted! Yeah!

I didn't expect myself to get promoted, that's why I was really happy when I received the letter. The increment is not impressive, but I'm happy to be promoted. That's enough. =p

Suddenly, I'm so motivated to work again! Yeah!

Memories II

I met my primary school friend, Esther today at Branch! It was so exciting to see old friend! I guess I had not met her since we graduated from primary school? Oh my god! That was like 12 over years! I'm so glad she's doing fine.

Seeing her reminds me of my primary school friends. Jinli was my best friend and I used to go her house to play Pyramid Game and UNO stacko with my sister. It was really fun. She's really a sweetie as she used to write letters to me after graduation. I guess it was me who didn't take the initiative to maintain the friendship. Sigh. This is life. If you don't spend some effort maintaining the friendship, the friendship will just be broken. I saw her a few times in NTU, but we didn't say much as well. Qixian and Ruzhe used to be my best friends as well, I wonder how are they doing right now?

I can also remember many others of my primary school friends, like Huiliang, who is like the genius in class who can solve all kinds of challenging Maths questions? Or Xiaoping and Huiyi who are like the "xiao hua" in my class. There's also Ann Leong, whose nickname was IBM as he used to talk a lot and he's really loud. And there's Kit who used to be very popular among girls as well as he's smart and cute. Me and my best friend used to have a crush on him at the same time. Thinking back, I must be blind back then. haha. Just joking. Kit is really great. He's the only primary school friend whom I still keep in contact, and I don't want to lose this friend just because of this comment. Haha. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, Kit is really a great friend. =p Not to forget, there is Chunchi, who is a Taiwanese. If I never remember wrongly, he's quite cute too. =p And not to forget, Zixiong and Ruiguang used to be very popular among girls, and I guess they are probably still very popular among girls. haha. Esther and Lirong are like the leaders in the class and they used to write our own class Newsletter. I still keep those Newsletters in my cardboard. In fact, I kept everything to do with my primary school, secondary school, etc. All these are my memories.

I still remember I used to have a really close childhood friend, Weiming as well. We used to attend swimming classes together, but like in those typical drama, we lost contact when he moved house in primary school and changed school. It would be great if I could meet him someday. I tried looking for him through friendster, but to no avail. Anyway, talking about Friendster, I must really thank the person who created Friendster. If not for Friendster, I probably would not be able to keep in contact with some of my friends. And it's amazing that when you surf Friendster, you will realize Singapore is really small as everybody seems to know one another.

As for me, I was just an ordinary and quiet girl in my class. Nobody really notices my presence I guess. Stop laughing. I know what you are thinking, but it's really true that I used to be so quiet in class that I guess most of them probably don't remember my presence. And I looked real nerdy and funny last time (perhaps I should consider uploading my primary school photos here just for some laughs). Not that I look any better now, but at least I look a bit like a girl now(though my behaviour is definitely not very girl-like). At least I have long hair now, so that should make me look a bit like a girl at least?

My friend was commenting that if you could remember things that had happened long ago, yet you can't remember those recent things, it's a sign that you're getting old. Am I getting old? Why is it that I can remember all these vividly, yet I can't recall what I did last weekend?

Thinking about all these is making me feel so nostalgic. It would be really great if my primary school friends could meet up someday...

First Sunday of 2007

It's the first Sunday of 2007 and I went to my favourite place, ECP...

It just feels so good breathing in the fresh air with the gentle breeze blowing against me as I'm blading. Somehow, it gives me a very peaceful and calm feeling whenever I'm at ECP. This is why I would always make it a point to come ECP every Sunday whenever possible.

However, it seems like today is an unlucky day for me. The moment I started blading, a bicycle bumped into me from behind. I was caught off-guard and I fell down instantly. "-_- How lucky can I be?

Why is it that weekend seems to pass by so quickly and it's going to be one long working week again? Sigh.

Hope tomorrow will be a good day!

Celene gave me this cushion! Isn't this so sweet? Hehe. It's my Princess Cushion.

Perfect Job

It seems like everybody is complaining about their jobs. Is it true that there is no perfect job in this world? Or is there even a job which we don't hate at all? Why is it that everybody seems to hate their jobs?

Pay is miserable? Long working hours? No sense of achievement? Job is too mundane? Or work is overwhelming? Bad relationship with the boss or colleagues?

I guess all these are just common reasons why people hate their jobs.

Are people simply too demanding? Let's face it, this world is not perfect. Thus, it's almost impossible to find a perfect job. Even those CEOs who earn big bucks may not even like their jobs. But at least, they should be contented with their job as no matter how sucky their job is, at least they are highly paid. They can do whatever they want with the money.

Sometimes it's not about finding a perfect job, it's about finding a job which you don't hate that much.

-------

A: I'm looking for a job.
B: Oh okay. What kind of jobs are you looking for?
A: A job that allows me to shake legs and earn big bucks.
B: Errr... If you do find such a job in this world, please inform me as I would want to go for such job as well.

Blood Diamond

I watched Blood Diamond last night. It was a good movie, but relatively quite violent. It was so violent that I had nightmare last night of the whole scene. It was horrible. And it kinda reminds me of those videos which I used to watch during GP class. I wonder whether the girls will actually stop buying diamonds because of this show? I doubt so.

And you won't believe it. I booked the tickets online, but it turned out that the couple sitting beside us were Shixing and Celene's friends. Sometimes, you just can't help but to realize that Singapore is really a small world. I enjoyed the show, but unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy the process of watching it. My left len came off halfway when watching the movie! The good thing was I brought my specs along, if not I got to watch the show half-blindly. Haha. Perhaps the air-con was too cold or wat, I was sneezing like hell throughout the whole show. I think I'm really a sick cat as I always fall sick. Sigh.

I felt so terrible that I took cab home.

Sam is back

Sam is back from Australia! He came back for a few days and I only managed to meet up with him yesterday at MOS (Oh yes, I know you're going to say that I'm simply such a MOS freak, but seriously I can't think of any other better place to go clubbing other than MOS.)

Sam used to be Limin and my best clubbing buddy back in university days before he went Australia to study. We used to go clubbing at DBL O 2-3 times a week. Clubbing with us was challenging back then as we always got drunk (& puked like hell). But, he's such a gentleman that he always takes good care of us. I still remember that one jug of RIBENA costs $22 while one jug of VODKA RIBENA only costs $12 back then. So, now you know one jug of RIBENA is much more expensive than VODKA RIBENA in DBL O.

It was quite boring initially as the music was pretty boring. Luckily, the music gets better as time goes by. However, our dear Sam and his pals are simply HOUSE music lovers. And Sam kept on psycho-ing us to go HOUSE ROOM. I regretted it once I stepped into the HOUSE ROOM. It was damn loud and I really dunno how to dance to it.

Being the only one who works on Saturday, I left early to have a good rest. Sometimes I wonder why is it that I'm the only one who has to work on Saturday? Sigh.

If I could write it down...

Just a thought... If I could extend the lives of my loved ones by writing my name on Death Note, I would do that.

First day of work in 2007

Yeah. My dear friend, Celene is finally back! But, she's a poor thing. She lost her camera. I can understand the pain of losing a camera, as I had lost mine at last year's D&D. I could still remember that I was basically devastated. It's not about losing a material item, it's about losing my precious photos which have a lot sentimental value to me. And it's also a gift from Yukai for my 21st birthday.

Anyway, work was really hectic today (as expected). I hardly could find time to drink a sip of water when I was super thirsty. And I couldn't even afford to find time to go toilet. In fact, I was eating lunch while doing work. My lunch time (a.k.a rest time) was like 5 mins (that's the time which I took to buy my lunch back to branch) ? Branch would always be so busy especially after a long weekend. That's why sometimes, I do wonder is it good for us to have long weekend? It would be a nice long break, but the thing is, work would always be hectic after such long weekend. Luckily, I had a good rest yesterday and I slept at 10 plus if not I would be damn tired today.

Ever since I had changed role, my friends all started to comment that I'm getting more and more buay gan as my sleeping time is getting earlier and earlier. But, I hope my friends would understand that being a CSM is really tiring. I'm not saying that your job is not tiring, but you imagine having 2-3 people asking you questions at the same time for the whole day. And I can't afford to make any mistakes as any mistake may lead to serious consequences. Don't believe me? Try being a CSM for one day, and you would understand what I mean. Hence, I really hope that sometimes, you guys will understand that it's not that I don't want to join you guys for party or what, but I simply can't afford to be sleepy at work and lose my concentration. My apologies to my friends for being such a turn off at times. I'm sorry.

It's a rainy night again. Hope that all of you would have a good sleep tonight. =p

Good night!

Nokia 7390

Don't you think this Nokia 7390 is so sweet and beautiful?

When I first saw this phone, I know that I'm going to get this if I'm going to buy a new phone! But, the problem is, do I have the money to own this baby? Hmm...

I need to strike 4D or TOTO!

JB Trip

As my sister wanted to buy marble cheese cake from Secret Recipe JB, we decided to go JB today. And Alan's friend, Chin Hong was really nice to pick me up from my house to the woodlands customs.

To our horror, the customs is super crowded. I thought most people would probably go JB on Friday or Saturday, but never did I expect so many people to go JB today as well. We basically queued for about 45mins before we managed to get in. And there were so many irritating people who actually attempted to jump queue. I just don't understand why is it that they can't just queue up? I simply hate people who jump queue!

All in all, it was quite a fulfilling trip. Not only did I manage to go for an express medicure and pedicure, I even had a hair cut which I kinda regretted. I merely wanted to cut away my split ends, but in the end, the hairdresser cut quite a bit of my hair. As a result, my hair is kinda short now. = ( He seems to be so proud of his work that I don't bear to complain to him about my hair. Just hope that my hair will grow faster. Why is that one tempts to regret cutting their hair after a hair cut? Sigh.

I really had fun for this long weekend. In fact, I had so much fun that I wish I don't have to go back to work on Wednesday! Can I?

Year 2007

Happy New Year!

Well, today is the first day of 2007. Other than having one extra pimple on my face, I feel the same actually. It may seems like any other day, but to me, it's a brand new start to a wonderful year ahead. I know it's boring, but still, I'm going to make my new year resolutions like the past few years.

Angie's New Year's Resolutions:
1. To earn more money. In order to earn more money, I got to have a promotion. And in order to have a promotion, I guess I got to work real hard to prove myself. In the year 2007, I'm going to be more careful in my work and excel in it.

2. To save more money. I have been spending a lot of money on unnecessary things, so in the year 2007, I got to save more money. =p

3. To cut down on junk food. Well, I admit I'm a very junkie person as I tempt to eat all kinds of junk food and fried food. But, I guess I got to cut down on that in order to cultivate a more healthy diet. For those who know me well, you would know how hard it's going to be for me givne that I'm such a great chicken wings lover.

4. To slim down by 3kg. I know I have been putting this on my resolution and I have yet to cut down any weight. But, in the year 2007, I must make sure I accomplish this. I guess with a balanced diet plus regular exercise, it shouldn't be so difficult, right?

5. Spend more quality time with my family and friends. Sometimes, I have been so busy at work that I tempt to neglect my family. As such, I would want to spend more quality time with them.

6. Learn to appreciate everything around me rather than complaining how bad my life is.

7. Last of all, Be happy.

I went to Molly's New Year party at her condo yesterday. The food was great, especially the CURRY. I simply love the curry potato. It's damn nice. The fried prawns were quite nice too!

At Molly's Party

Gladys' son, Cute Jaydon! Does he look like Wang Lee Hom?

After the party had ended, I went to Merchant Court to meet up with my secondary school friends for our usual countdown. This year round, we didn't drink the gao liang rice wine, instead, we drank Sake! Sake tastes quite okay actually, but it's damn sucky if you drink Sake with Baileys and Beer! Yucks!

Beer, Baileys and Sake. Towards the later part, there's Red Wine as well. Can u imagine we actually drank 4 different kinds of alcohol on the same night?

Cosy on the bed - Terry and Wenxin, Simon, Bao, Weipeng, Me, Yuanzheng and Kit

Terry and Peng

Simon, Terry and Bao. The guys are damn crazy. Terry wanted to sleep, but they kept on disturbing him. Poor guy I would say. Haha.

Guys - Simon is simply good with cards! He showed us a lot of magic tricks which are damn amazing! I wanna learn from him!

Yuxiu and I with Bao meimei

Yuxiu and me

Us

It was a great gathering as I really had fun with these people. Like what Tianbao say, our friendship is more valuable than anything. Not many people actually have friends of over 10 years. I'm glad that I have wonderful friends like them. I strongly believe that we will be friends forever. We may be having our own career, or starting our own family, but ultimately, we will still be remember one another and meet up regularly. =p

Once again, Happy New Year to all!
