Pain! Pain! Pain!
The bruises on my 2 knee caps are in GREAT PAIN. I could feel the pain whenever I try to walk or bend down. OUCH! I'm basically walking so slowly that even an old woman can overtake me. I'm not exaggerating, but that's really my walking speed today.
Sigh.
I want to be able to walk quickly. I want to go jogging. I want to go swimming. I want to go blading... And I want to sleep comfortably without screaming in pain suddenly at night.
Most importantly, I want the bruises to recover ASAP. It's causing me a lot of PAIN and INCONVENIENCE! It's also causing me a lot of headache, thinking of which skirt is appropriate for me to wear such that it can hide my bruises, at the same time not hurting them. It's causing me to feel depressed as I feel handicapped with my legs like that. And it's hindering my work in a way.
Why must this kind of unfortunate thing happens to me just after Chinese New Year? Why am I so careless and clumsy? Sometimes, I really can't stand myself. I fall down so often my my legs are full of bruises and scars. Sigh.
Anyway, I was informed (today) that my BIG BIG BOSS would be coming to my branch tomorrow. Oh well, I'm already damn stressed at this period of time and why must she come at this time? To add on to my stress level? Just hope that everything will turn out to be fine tomorrow. Please pray for me ya?

Secondary School Reunion Dinner
I had a really great feast with my secondary school friends last night! Tianbao had organized a reunion dinner at the famous AMK crabs there and the attendance was amazing. There were a total of 14 of us, namely bao, yuanzheng, junwei, weipeng, chet siang (with gf), kit, zhanhong, jordon, limin, yuxiu, simon (with gf) and me!
It was really a great secondary school reunion dinner. We were probably the most rowdy and noisy customers who basically created a din when we lou hei. And our yu sheng was very special cos our dear weipeng added some chilli into the yu sheng. As a result, our yu sheng was kinda spicy... Haha.
Great food plus wonderful company. What else do you want?
Life is great with friends like them. =p

Early in the morning at Reservoir
I woke up at 7am this morning to go for for a jog at the reservoir! When I was there, I was amazed that there were so many people who had just finished their jog... I seriously wonder what time did they go for the jog? This is madness! If not for Kit and Peng, I guess I probably won't wake up so early on a Sunday just to go for a jog!
After about 5km, we decided to go for the HSBC TreeTop Walk.
HSBC TreeTop Walk
When we finished the TreeTop Walk, I was like Huh? It's over? I didn't get to see anything! Duh. Seriously, I was tempted to turn back but this sign warned me not to do so...After the TreeTop walk, we continued our long journey back to the starting point...
The ReservoirAll in all, it was a great and challenging race. I guess we probably had a 11km jog around the reservoir.Anyway, tell you guys something damn funny. I fell down again. And the most funny thing was I fell down after my jog. DUH. Why am I so ah Q all the time?

Missing my Uniform
Suddenly, I kinda miss those days wearing uniform...
My favourite Compass Point teamI regret not taking more photos of myself in uniform... But, if I never remember wrongly, I used to hate taking photos in my uniform... How ironic...

Going back to work after CNY
Wonder if I had partied too much during Chinese New Year or what, I had been feeling real tired for the past few days. And I'm like totally in need of my favourite teh peng to keep myself awake. This is bad especially my job requires me to be alert at all times and I can't afford to lose concentration. But, thank god it's already Friday today.I could finally have a bit of rest before next week starts again. And it's going to be a short week next week given that I would be going for my off for a few days next Thursday. I can't wait for Thursday to come! 最近，大家开口都是新年快乐，可是为什么我去却觉得新年一点也不快乐？

Chinese New Year 07 II
Time simply flies when you're having fun. It's already chu san today. I can't imagine I got to go back to work tomorrow. Haha. Luckily, I managed to find time to go blading this morning, if not I would really feel that I have not enjoyed myself at all. Keke. And I'm going to Jovan's place for the usual gathering with my uni friends later. I went to my grandma's house for the usual reunion dinner last night. The whole house was crowded with a lot of people and it came to a point in which I was wondering who were those miscellaneous people sitting at one corner. True enough, they were my cousins, but I get to see them like once in a year, as a result, I don't really recognize them and I don't even know their names. Someday, if they actually come to my branch, I would think that they are just customers. Hahaha. But, I had fun chit chatting with my other cousins. The fun part of the dinner came when each family was supposed to draw a family tree. Haha. And all of us have difficulties writing our own family members' names in Chinese. This goes to show how good our chinese is. I'm proud to say that I can write my own family tree in 2 languages with no difficulty. Afterall, I used to study Higher Chinese, you know. Haha. I don't know about you guys, but I really enjoying bai nian. To some, they find it a chore to go house visiting, but to me, I find it an enjoyment to meet up with relatives. I wish I can go house visiting for the full 15 days! Hahaha. ------Invention of phoneI seriously think that the person who has invented phone is simply a genius. Because of this invention, we can talk to people we love when we miss them; we can call our friends just to confide to them; we can call for help when there is a need to. Phone is simply an amazing invention. A phone call can lift you up or crush you. It feels good to receive calls from your loved ones or someone you miss. Or even calls from a friend whom u have not been contacting are equally precious and important. But, sometimes, you may hear a bad news over the phone. Being someone who is quite deaf, my hp tends to have a lot of missed calls. Sometimes, it's about timing. There are calls which u wish you did not miss, but somehow or rather, you just missed the call. And that person may not call you again. Or sometimes, you don't even know who is the one who has called you as nowadays private number seems to be so common. Phone is simply a great invention.

Chinese New Year 07
As usual, my whole family woke up very early to go to a particular temple (which I have been going there since I was born) to pray to our ancestors yesterday. Afterwhich, my brother drove me to si ma lu to pray. It was really crowded. I guess I should go there some other time when there are less people. It's simply too crowded for me.
Then, we went back home for our usual vegetarian reunion lunch. I always look forward to eat this meal as I get to eat my favourite vegetarian food, especially the "Fried Prawns" which are like super popular among us. My auntie only made this once a year, so it's like very precious to us. hahaha. Given that my sister and my other cousin are not around, there are less competitors fighting for the "Fried Prawns". Haha.
Usually, after the reunion lunch, it's my practice to take a long nap after my relatives had left. But this year, instead of sleeping, I went to watch the movie, The Protege. It's quite nice, but it's kinda depressing to watch this kind of depressing show during Chinese New Year. I felt kinda lost and depressed after the show actually. So I guess if you are thinking of watching a movie during Chinese New Year, you should watch other shows like Epic Movie or whatever... The protege is simply not a movie you should watch on such happy occasion. Trust me.
I was feeling kinda tired (I have not been sleeping well for the past one week. I seriously don't understand why is it that it's Chinese New Year now, but why is it that I still can't sleep at night?), but my secondary school friends jioed me to go to Yuanzheng's place for a gathering. His friendly father gambled with us. I was wearing DAMN RED, and my dressing probably brought me luck as I actually won money. Haha. It was going to be like a SOP in which my secondary school friends and I would always gamble together during Chinese New Year... We are all gamblers I must say. Haha.
GONG XI FA CAI!
Wishing you guys a HAPPY & PROSPEROUS PIGGY YEAR! Oink Oink.

Welcome to the year of PIG
Yeah! It's finally Chinese New Year! Somehow or rather, I always feel very happy during Chinese New Year. =p It definitely my favourite festival of the year cos I get to eat, gamble, sleep and meet up with relatives and friends! Haha. I had a wonderful reunion lunch with my family in the afternoon. It was really great as it's rare that we actually eat together as a family due to our own commitments. Alan and sister brought a lot of food for us too. It was really a fulfilling lunch.
And I received my first ang pow from my sister! Heehee. She specially chose a cute and nice piggy red packet for me! She's so sweet, right? Anyway, she would be going genting with her in laws, which means that I'm going to be so lonely for this Chinese New Year. The good thing is, she lent me My Girl DVD, so I could watch it all over again during these few days of holidays!Let me wish all of you a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year!

As busy as a Bee
It had been a really busy week for me. I basically had no time to eat lunch, no time for dinner and no time to do anything. And when I got home after work, I'm dead tired. I'm so tired, but I can't sleep well at all. I'm just so tired.But, I'm glad that tomorrow is finally Saturday and it's Chinese New Year Eve. This would mean that I could finally rest properly and eat all the good food! Yeah!Happy Chinese New Year to all!

A Happy Valentine's Day
Early in the morning, I was listening to the radio on my way to work. The DJs kept on playing love songs, and they just kept on talking about Valentine's Day. I guess it's kinda hard to treat today as an ordinary day given that everybody is talking about V Day.
Anyway, I received 3 bouquets of flowers for Valentine this year!
One from Yukai (who is far far away in US but he had ordered flowers from the florist), one from my brother-in-law (Oh, my brother-in-law is so sweet right?) and one from my other friend who bought the plastic flowers for me while shopping at Chinatown last week.So, I'm not lonely after all!
And most importantly, no matter what, I have my elephant with me! Keke.
Somehow, after the resizing of the photo, my face looks kinda distorted... Or is my face so distorted all along? ARGH!

Happy Valentine's Day
It's Valentine's Day. Oh well, to me, it's just going to be an ordinary day since I have no date, no boyfriend, no gift... The good and sad thing is, I got to work until quite late, so in other words, there's no way for me to celebrate V day anyway. Nevertheless, let me wish all of you a Happy Valentine's Day. May all of you have a nice V day with your loved ones. And for those singles, perhaps you could confess your love for the one you love on this special day as well.Especially to Alan and my sister, Happy Valentine's Day!

I have the most wonderful sister on earth!
My sister is simply the most wonderful person on earth!She knows that I had been working late for the past few days with no dinner and she just specially delivered my favourite crabs to my house! She bought the famous crabs from AMK! Despite that she has to wake up at 6am tomorrow for work, she actually made a big turn to my house then back to her house at CCK! I'm so touched that I'm lost for words... My sister is simply so nice and sweet to me... That's why I always tell my brother in law that he's really lucky to marry my sister as she is the most wonderful wife, sister or person on earth!I simply love her! Sis, thanks for everything you've done for me... I really appreciate it and I love you!
My Super Yummy Crabs!

What a busy week...
As what I had expected, the past one week was a busy week for me. Staying back late for work was common. I could only rest when I was on my way for my toilet break. Sometimes, I just feel like sleeping in the toilet to rest.
I don't know what's up with me, but I have been in a daze for the past few days. Am I too tired or wat? Hmm...
Anyway, I went to DBL O to support Celene for her dance competition. I was really excited about it as I like to see people dance, especially my dear friend. =p She's really great! I wish I could dance like her... but unfortunately, I'm simply too clumsy for that. Sigh. I probably need 2 years to remember that routine and another 2 years to master it. Haha.------LOST AND FOUND
I can't believe it. I lost my cute elephant hp accessory! Why am I always so careless? I simply can't stand myself! Sigh.
I know chances is low. But, if you do see this elephant lying around MS, can return it to me? To you, it's just an ordinary accessory, but to me, it's very important...

Notes Changing
Yesterday was the first day for notes changing...And the whole branch was like in madness! Endless flow of customers who keep on demanding to change new notes and want many many more ang pows. I look at my own bank's ang pows. It's not really that nice, but why is it that some customers will create a din just to get the ang pows? I simply don't understand them. I'm simply not that kind of person who will bother to queue up just to get some ang pows or change notes. And because of them, I have to attend million of complaints. I guess I'm going to be real busy for the next few days. I will press on till Chinese New Year so that I can enjoy myself during CNY.

Chalet II
I just came back from chalet! The chalet was really spacious and nice! My parents had bbq with their friends on Friday and they even stayed overnight at the chalet. My parents were simply too happening. Keke. Anyway, they were very nice and thoughful to help me buy some of the bbq food so that I can bbq on Saturday! =p My sister and I wanted to have a swim at the swimming pool, but the moment we stepped into the pool, we were shivering in cold. It was really THAT COLD. We couldn't stand it, so we decided that we should go for steam bath instead. Keke. And after that, we went back to the chalet to nua while waiting for others to come... Andy helped to set up the fire while the girls helped to prepare the food. It was really a wonderful bbq (with lotsa food) with great company. We basically ate all the way from 6+ to 10+. It was totally madness. Nevetheless, I truly enjoyed myself and I hope the rest enjoyed themselves too. =pAfter having so much fun for the past few days, I can't imagine myself going back for work tomorrow... Given that I have not been checking my email since Wednesday, I guess I got go office earlier to clear the emails and to make sure I'm aware of the new products, procedures, etc. This would also mean that I got to wake up super early tomorrow. Sigh. It's the first day for new notes changing tomorrow, so I can foresee myself to be very busy all the way till Chinese New Year. Wish me luck ya?

Stroll at Chinatown
I have been on leave since Wednesday and I think I'm gaining weight! I have been eating supper for the past few nights and most importantly, I'm always hungry. What's wrong with me? Sometimes, I would still feel hungry after finishing one plate of nasi lemak... Hmm... Anyway, I had a short stroll at Chinatown last night. It's never my practice to go Chinatown for a walk as I don't really like to go to such crowded places. But, I guess it's quite nice to go for a walk at such places to experience the festive season. =pSo, when shall we have a walk at Chinatown again? Keke.

Happy Birthday to Celene
It's Celene's birthday today! Happy Birthday babe! May all your wishes come true and may the year 2007 be a SUPER WONDERFUL year for you in all aspects!
Celene managed to get leave on her birthday and thus both of us decided to go to Sentosa! It was my first time going to Sentosa by the express monorail! It was really very fast and convenient to go Sentosa with this monorail! With this monorail service, even a lazy person like me won't mind going Sentosa on a regular basis!
We ordered some snacks and a big bottle of Iced Tea. It was such a luxury to eat the snacks while enjoying the sea breeze. It was basically a very relaxing and peaceful afternoon. Lying on the beach chair reminds us of our Batam trip, relaxing and peaceful. If only we could do this quite often...
Me with the happy Birthday Girl!
Looks like those overseas beach resorts ya?
It's really very shuang to drink a glass of really cold ice tea while suntanning!Soon, it's time for us to go home...
But, I believe, we will be back soon! Yeah!

Working Relationship Part II
I was reading my adrian's blog the other day and I chanced upon this. Take some time to read this as I think that it was very well-written. Read on...WORKING RELATIONSHIP PART III wrote a post in 05 May 2005, about finding a job is like finding new love, how interviews are like first dates where you impress the gal. For those who did not manage to know me then, heres a link back to refresh the memory...http://mangodaily.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_mangodaily_archive.htmlWell now 1 and half year into the job, I have new inspirations. People around me keep saying they wana change jobs. I myself say I won't change, but somehow at times I am confused, at time I am tempted. Such is a parallel drawn to love, or a relationship you would say.After you successfully courted the girl/guy(job), you have to maintain a good healthy relationship. No doubt you wana please the girl/guy(boss) and impress in your work. At first things are fine. You don't expect alot, so the first anniversary you get one rose, you say wahh, so sweet. Then the second year, you still get one rose, you say thanks dear... Then third year you get nothing, he say times are hard... pls be understanding. You say its ok, I understand. Yes you understnd, and you remember. For once the economy is good, you remember for three years, you get only 2 roses. And you understand, you don't wan to marry this guy.And of course as time goes by, things won't be that smooth. There will be quarrels, though in work, they do only end in one directions. Thus employees become Mr nice guy, alway enduring the tormenting relationships. Some nice guy just cant take it anymore one day and shout back! And yes, this often ends up ending the relationship. Some end it subtley and tell the girl he wana break up. He will say lets give each other one month (one month notice) to think about it, and they break up. Some simply love the girl too much to break up with the girl and bear all the downside of the relationship. Some won't even want to break up when told to break up and will beg the girl not to break up with him. This kind of guys will say "Pls don't break up(sack) with me. I promise I will change. I won't be late again. I will do my best, I will...." Yes, leopards never change its spots, they do still end up getting fired at the end of the day. Simply course boss seen through too much relationships to know this.Some of us stay in the relationship for something. Be it for money, a rank, or the name. Some just stay employed for a simple reason. They think being single is no good, like very paiseh. Just like being unemployed is no good, not even for a moment. So end up in the working relationship world, a lot of us are rather unfaithful. In the sense when even attached, we look around for prettier girls, or guys who are richer. So that when the other party is also interested in you, you will ditch your current boy or girl friend and sail in the new boat. In this working world, you are always attached, BUT available. It seems, only if you are super lousy, you are single and available. There are also people who are single, but not available. They enjoy freedom, they do what they want and they still survive. These are lucky people. And I am not lucky. Of course even when opportunity knocks on your door, some are not tempted at all. He feels very loved in his current relationship, and he is committed. He feels very comfortable and put in all his efforts. He work day and night. He is married to the job. But the parallel ends here. In every working relationship, they alway end up in divorce. there's no happily ever after. At most the golden handshake. And she is off with a new guy. A young one. A better looking one. Yes work is like a devil. They never grow old, and they suck you dry. Don't give them your life, only to realize you have gain nothing in return except old age. Remember to take what you need, what you been searching for, in return for your youth and hard work given. Life is about give and take, so is work. You have other life outside, except work. I hope I myself remember this.

Singapore 2 Thailand 1
Thanks to my wonderful cute sister, Yinqiu (and her boyfriend), I managed to grab hold of the tickets to watch the match ASEAN Championship Final Leg 1 at our very own National Stadium! I had missed the semi-final match last weekend, and I wouldn't want to miss it again this time round! Hehe. And most importantly, I could make it for the match as I was on half day off today!
As my sister they all knocked off quite early, we decided to go Geylang to eat my favourite tian-ji zou. However, finding a parking lot is difficult in Geylang! We had to go rounds and rounds to find parking lots! Fortunately, after driving around Geylang for half an hr, we finally managed to park the car and went to the usual stall. It was a great dinner. It was basically one of my best dinner for the past week as I had been working till so late that I didn't have my dinner sometimes. And I really love eating tian ji zou. It's like so spicy and nice! keke.
We thought that we were early, but little did we expect that there would be a terrible jam near Kallang! There were so many people there that we nearly couldn't find Yinqiu to get the tickets. To make things worse, network was down at Kallang as I guess too many people were trying to contact their friends... During times like this, I really appreciate having a mobile phone. Thankfully, we managed to find her and Jianhui eventually. By the time we were seated, the match was going to start.
It was really great watching the match live at National Stadium. The atmosphere was totally different. I had fun shouting, cursing and swearing and I had fun doing the Kallang wave. Though it was kinda like a controversial win over Thailand, I'm glad that we won. My sister even suggested flying to Bangkok to watch the final... Haha. It's quite a good idea, but my financial situation doesn't allow me to do so. Haha.
Going home after the match is always a problem. Though Mr Chin Hong was nice enough to drive me home, we basically were waiting at the carpark for like half an hour before we could drive out of the parking lot. To end off my wonderful night, we went to Punggol Nasi Lemak for a wonderful supper. =p
All in all, it was a great night.
And yes, I'm on leave (again), if not why do you think I would be online at this hour? Haha.

I wanna say...
I guess my friends are going to have a shock and fall down from their chairs when they read what I'm going to say in this post. Oh well... As I was talking to Kit the other day, I feel that I want to settle down now. Though I'm still young, I just feel that I want to settle down. Maybe I had too much fun for the past one year that I feel that it's time for me to settle down? I don't know, but all I know is, as compared to last year in which I am totally against to get married at such young age, I think I can accept myself getting married at 24 years old. Surprise? Even I myself is surprised that I actually have such thoughts going through my mind. Maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old... Oh well...
