It was a super busy day at work for me. I ate my lunch at 4pm and I left branch around 10pm. This means that I had worked a total of 13 hours today as I had reached office at 8.30am this morning! Bleargh!
I'm simply so tired.
But, I guess I should not complain so much since I had just came back to work from a long break. Heehee.

Goodbye Andre! I wish you all the best and don't forget about us ya! =p

I am having a strong craving for a lot of food like durians, sushi, tian ji zou, pizza, etc. I wanna eat Carousel buffet, Kushinbo buffet, Marche and the list goes on! Ah! What's wrong with me? I'm simply a greedy pig. Haha.
I have been relaxing for the past few days, and it's time to go back to work tomorrow!
Ganbattle!

Today we have bigger houses, but smaller families
More conveniences, but less time We have more degrees, but less common sense More knowledge, but less judgment We have more experts, but also more problems More medicine, but less wellness We spend too recklessly
Laugh too little
Drive too fast
Get too angry too quickly
Stay up too late
Read too little
Watch TV too much
And ponder too little.
We’ve multiplied our possessions, but reduce our values
We talk too much, love too little and lie too often
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life
We’ve added years to our lives, but not life to our years
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints
We spend more, but have less
We buy more, enjoy it less
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbours
We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space
We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice
We write (and type) more, but learn less
We plan more, but accomplish less
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait,
We have higher incomes, but lower morals
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication
We are long on quantity, but short on quality
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion
Taller people, but short character
More leisure, but less fun
More kinds of foods, but less nutrition
Two incomes, but more divorce
Fancier houses, but more broken homes
That’s why I propose, that as of today, you do not keep anything for special occasions, because every day you live is a special occasion.
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the time.
Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love .
Use your crystal goblets… do not save your best perfume for best…throw a party for no good reason.
Life isn’t only about survival… It’s about joy. Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.
Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “one of these days“ and “someday”
Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days “
Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them.

It was a relaxing short getaway. And the best part about the trip was, the girls didn't have to do anything. The guys basically did all the cooking, cleaning and washing of dishes! So nice of them, isn't it? =p In fact, the guys were really good at cooking and it was fun watching them cook the prawns in different style. We had garlic-fried prawns, prawns cooked with beer, black pepper prawns... It was really good. Benny's friend, Vincent had bought so much seafood that each of us had to eat 1kg of seafood! I was really full all the way to my throat.
After dinner, I decided to take out my contact lens as I didn't want to wear my lens for so long since it was my first day wearing contact lens again after the eye infection last month. The moment I took out the lens, I could feel a slight pain in both eyes. I was kinda worried, so I used the eye drops immediately to ease the irritation. Luckily, my eyes were okay after a while. Even since I was nearly "blind" the other time, I would get very paranoid about my eyes. I even have phobia of wearing contact lens. It was scary that I dreamt that my right eye was infected and my vision was affected that night! Argh! It's so scary. Whatever it is, I guess I will try to wear specs more often until my eyes feel much better.
Anyway, Lina and I slept at around 12+ as we were simply too tired. However, I couldn't sleep well as I kept on waking up hourly! I was worried that I would overslept, so I kept looking at the time on my handphone. In the end, I woke up super early. As I was very early for the ferry, I had a walk around the place alone. It was a peaceful walk and I felt good. : )
As I was rushing to attend Amara's wedding, I was feeling quite anxious, waiting for the ferry. Thankfully, the ferry reached Singapore on time and my wonderful dad came to pick me up. Hurray!
When I reached home, I went to bathe immediately to get ready for Amara's wedding. I was slightly late as there was a bad jam at CTE. But, at least I had reached before the march in. Hehe. It was great meeting up with my jc friends.
Me with my dearest ex-roomie, Ade. She's the best roomie ever as she would always take good care of me and even cooks for me! =p On the other hand, I am a lazy roomie who sleeps and eats a lot. Ops...
Me with Huiyi! I can have lunch with you at XX school on my off day as the school is just opposite my place!
Me with my freak buddy, Andre. He's going to London to further studies soon. I'm so going to miss him... (and his place as his place is a good place for gathering). And I wanna go London to visit him!
Me with KC who keeps cursing that I won't be able to get married! ARGH! This is so irritating!
Me with Mervin who had entertained me with jokes throughout the wedding lunch.
Me with my Yongquan who is my "father"
All the girls with the beautiful bride, Amara.
A group photo
Table photo with the bride and groom
A group photo with the bride!
The lunch ended about 3+. Then I went to Eunos to meet up with my sis they all for the photoshoot session for Princess. Our dear princess was feeling kinda cranky, so we had to try all means to make her smile. I hope the photos will look great. Heehee...
Then we went back home for family dinner.
It feels good to have dinner at home! Home-cooked dinner is the BEST!
I'm feeling super tired as I had not been sleeping well since Friday night. Thank god I'm not working tomorrow! Yeah!
I'm going to sleep early tonight!
Good night to all!

I had just finished watching the Japanese drama, Absolute Boyfriend. It's nice, but it's kinda sad towards the later part of the show. I cried and cried till my eyes hurt. It's amazing that I could still go for my meeting after crying so much. Haha. The thing about me is, I get very emotional watching any show. Can you imagine I could even cry watching the movie, 300? Anyway, Absolute Boyfriend is a nice drama! =p

I believe many of you would have known that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson had passed on.
Though I am not a fan of him, it's upsetting to hear such news. I thought he is about to start his World Tour or what? He had sang so many classic songs which many of us would have heard of it. Sigh. It's a waste that he had passed on at the age of 50 years old.
真的是今天不知明天会怎样？
So, we should live each day as if it's our last day on earth...
------
Yes! I am currently on leave and most importantly, I will be going Bintan tomorrow! Yeah!
I'm simply so excited!
In fact, Sunday is definitely going to be an eventful day for me as I have to go to many different places...
It's FRIDAY! Enjoy your weekend too!

There is father's day and there is mother's day. How come there's no Aunt/Uncle's day? *Pout* It's unfair, isn't it? Even the kids have children's day, and the teenagers have youth's day.
I want an Aunt/Uncle's Day!
------
I went for project meeting, but in the end, I realized it was not necessary for me to attend the meeting. FAINT. It's totally a waste of my precious off day. And most importantly, I could have sleep a bit longer instead of waking up at 7+ this morning!
And so, I went back home after meeting Boon Hwee for lunch. It was a happy lunch as I had my favourite Subway sandwich! Yummy!
Oh no, I think I am falling sick. I can't stop sneezing!
Aichooooooo.........

When I was young, if my mum did not want to buy me a particular toy or what, I would ask my dad to buy it for me. And most of the time, he would buy it for me. =p Also, he would send me to school every morning since Primary School to JC. Though my TJC was quite far from my house, he also sent me to school so that I could sleep a little bit longer instead of waking up early to go to school.
And now, he would also send me for my race on Sunday morning no matter how early it is. My dad is simply so sweet, isn't it?
Happy Father's Day to my Daddy!

On one peaceful night, I was reading my diary. I came across an entry dated in 2004 which listed all the things that I would wanna achieve in 5 years time. No doubt that I'm proud that I had achieved almost everything I had listed in my diary, I had failed to achieve one of it.
I was very upset and I cried to sleep that night. : (
------
I met up with HQ they all for KTV session last night. It was great meeting up with them as HQ and Siew Ping are simply so funny. We had so much fun singing all the oldies and English songs. Haha. As I got to work today, I left at 12+.
Happy weekend to all! I just need to work another 4 days then I would be able to enjoy my long weekend! Yeah!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Angeline winks at |9:41 PM|
I worn my super high heels for one whole day and it was super PAINFUL for me! I'm okay with the height of the heels, but the heels bit my feet for every step that I took. Argh! By the time I was home, I could barely walk.
My poor feet! : (
-----------------------------------------------------------
Angeline winks at |10:29 PM|
I would be going Bintan with my ex branch colleagues next weekend! Yeah! I would be taking the ferry early in the morning with Lina and would come back alone on Sunday morning to rush to attend Amara's wedding lunch. It would be my first time "travelling alone, but I have no choice as I would feel bad if Lina were to rush back to Singapore with me when she could still relax at Bintan till afternoon.
I am looking forward to the trip. However, before I can have a long weekend to enjoy myself, I got to work from Friday till Wednesday. Then, it will be PARTY TIME! Yeah!

Yes, I think my beloved handphone is spoilt. Somehow, it is unable to read my SIM card. It's so frustrating and irritating! To make things worse, when I was discussing about work with my colleague over the phone, the battery went flat and it couldn't read my SIM card even after charging my handphone. ARGH! And the spare phone which I had brought to work is kinda spoilt too! Maybe it's time to buy a new handphone...
If I do not respond to your SMS within an hour these few days, it's likely that I am unable to receive your sms/call. So, please forgive me if I do not reply your sms/call promptly. =p

Early in the morning, Shixing came over to my place. I was so surprised that he could wake up so early as I had to give him morning call almost every morning when we used to go to school together back in uni days. After a while, Lennard came to pick us up and all of us went to Kranji MRT station to pick up Celene and Alvin.
There was quite a jam at the causeway. In the end, we only managed to reach JB ar around 11+. We ate at a Kway Teow shop near OCBC Bank (JB) while waiting for Raymond Yong to join us at the coffeeshop. Francis came to join us too. When Boss finally managed to find us, we drove to his house! His house was quite cosy and nice. In fact, I like his place so much that I suggested we should stay over at his place one of these days! That would be so fun. Haha.
Then, we set off to go for Go-Kart. However, the place was closed, so we decided to go for Durians' Party! We stopped at a durian stall at the roadside and started eating durians! It's so SHIOK! I ate really a lot of durians. I was super full but the feeling was super SHIOK! I simply love durians! Yummy! After such a satisfying feast of durians, we went for a relaxing KTV! =p Given that the weather was so hot, it was a great feeling to be in the KTV room. We sang for only 2 hours before we went to Jusco.
My main motivation of going Jusco was to buy marble cheese cake. To my disappointment, my favourite marble cheese cake was out of stock! It was kinda disappointing, but Lennard bought some happy chocolate cakes and doughnuts for me, so I don't feel that bad after all. Haha.
After walking for a while, we went to the Francis' friend's restuarant for dinner. It was a satisfying dinner. And after dinner, we went over to the nearby coffeeshop for desserts! Haha. We had a great chat at the coffeeshop. =p
Then, it was time for us to go home. All of us were really tired and we were hoping to reach home ASAP. However, there was a jam. By the time, we reached Singapore, it was already 11+.
I was totally exhausted. But, I had so much fun that it was worth it.
I was also feeling very full. In fact, I was so full that I had no appetite to eat my breakfast this morning.
All in all, it was a fun trip. =p

I don't usually drink coffee. Hence, when I drank coffee yesterday after lunch, it felt weird. My heart was beating very fast and I felt very excited/nervous for nothing! It's kinda scared. I guess I will try NOT to drink coffee unnecessarily. In fact, my heart was beating very fast till 6+ before the effect died down eventually.
It's weekend today and I'm feeling very very happy! I am not working this weekend! Hurray! In fact, this is a relaxing week for me as I only worked for one day. (I was off on Mon and Tue and was on course on Thurs and Fri). However, after next Wednesday, I got to work for 6 consecutive days before a break. It's going to be tiring and no social life. But, I am sure I can do it! Heehee.
Enjoy your weekend!

I was considering to start wearing my contact lens this week. But, my doctor strongly discouraged me to do so. He told me that if I were to have such cornea infection again (touchwood), my vision may be affected and I may even be blind. He also added that I was very lucky to recover from the infection as some of his patients had became blind due to the infection. In fact, a colleague of mine shared with me that she had cornea infection a few years ago, and because of that, her vision was affected as well. I guess I'm really lucky this time round. Hence, I should be a good patient and wear my glasses for at least a month. It's better to be nerdy than to be blind, right?
Anyway, I was very busy at work today. I was so busy that I didn't have my lunch. Luckily, I had brought along the snack that my wonderful sister had bought for me. So, at least, I was not that hungry. =p I guess I should always bring some snacks to branch in case I do not have the time to go for lunch.

I am currently watching the Korean Drama, Boys over Flowers. It's damn NICE! I can't stop watching it! I am simply so in love with F4. Haha. I know I sound like an idiotic teenage girl, but they are simply so charming and CUTE! Haha.

I had just came back from a jog. And it feels damn good! Hopefully, I would be able to go for jogging at least 3 times a week starting from Today!
A group of us met up for KTV at Chinatown yesterday! As Limin is flying off to Dubai to work soon, we have decided that we will try to meet up as often as possible. And so, Yuxiu had organized a KTV session!
The Props!
Me and Limin
My best friends... But, thanks to Weipeng, we have become the backdrop for the bubble tea.
A better shot!
Me with Weipeng who would always send me home! He's the best!
Me with Kit, the runner of the group
Singing in the dark
We love to sing KTV!
I have not been going to Partyworld for KTV for quite some time. I didn't know they have such interesting clappers and props! We had fun making lotsa of noise in the KTV room. =p And most importantly, the bubble tea is very NICE! Yummy! But, I must remember to bring my membership card if we were to go there again!
After KTV, they went for dinner while I went home for family dinner as my sis they all were coming back to SK for dinner. And yes, I would get to see Princess Gwyneth!
All in all, it was a good Sunday! TGIS!

4 years ago on this very day, it was my first day of work after graduation. It's amazing that I have been a working adult for 4 years, as it seems as if I had just graduated last year. Throughout these 4 years, I had learnt a lot. I guess I have been very lucky as I have worked with many wonderful bosses like Choon Seng, Raymond, Steven and my current Boss, Kevin. =p
I just hope that everyday will be a good day at work!

Colleague A: How long are you going to wear your glasses to work? Me: Probably about a month. Colleague A: Oh no. You mean you're going to scare all our customers away with this nerdy look for a month? Me: ......
I want to wear my contact lens! : (
I have an appointment with my eye doctor next Tuesday. But, I am still considering should I make a trip down to the Eye Centre again. My eye seems okay, but I can still see the ulcer on my eye ball. Hmm... Hopefully, the ulcer will be all gone by Tuesday, and I can "skip" the appt with the doctor. *Praying Hard*
My vision is back, but my sis says that I should go and see an ear specialist for my ear problem. She thinks that I am partially deaf. In fact, she is not the only one who thinks that I am partially deaf. My colleagues think that I am partially deaf too. I do admit that there are times in which I do have some hearing problems, but I guess it's not that serious that I have to see an ear specialist right?
Oh ya, my best friend, Limin would be going Dubai to work for 2 years soon. No doubt that I am happy that she has such a good opportunity, I am going to miss her so much! Boo Boo... I got to spend more time with her before she flies off in August!
Enjoy your weekend!

My vision is back! The ulcer on my eye is getting smaller! I'm so happy! It's good to have my vision back as it has been kinda straining on my left eye for the past few days. =p
Since I am feeling better, I had called Pat and informed her that I would be going back to work tomorrow. I hope tomorrow will be a good day at work for me, the Ms Nerdy. Ever since I had started wearing contact lens on a daily basis since JC days, I have not been wearing specs for long hours in school or at work. So, I hope I would get used to wearing my specs at work tomorrow. But, I guess I have no choice as the doctor says that I have to refrain from wearing contact lens for at least a month... It's definitely going to be challenging for a vain pot for me. For the benefit of my precious eyes, I guess I just got to get used to wear specs to work. I can do it!
I had also collected the bags which I had sent for washing today. And know what? They had forgotten to return me the dust bags! And I didnt realize it until I am home! They must find the Gucci dust bag if not my sis is definitely going to kill me. *praying hard*
Due to my eye infection, I have not been jogging for many days. I can't wait to go for jogging soon!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Angeline winks at |6:18 PM|
Though I can still see the ulcer on my right eye, my vision is recovering. Hopefully, I would be able to regain my vision fully tomorrow and the ulcer will disappear when I go for check up tomorrow!
If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to go back to work on Friday. I should be on medical leave till Friday, but since there is shortage of staff on Friday, so I guess I would try to go back to work if my eye permits me to do so.
And yes, I will be Ms Nerdy for at least a month.

I went to Singapore National Eye Centre early in the morning today. As compared to yesterday's wait, it wasn't that long. The nurse did a series of eye tests for me before I went to see the doctor in the room. The doctor mentioned that my eye seemed to be better, but he would ask another eye specialist to take a look at my eye at 2pm. He also asked if I would be interested to participate in a research study about contact lens related infectious keratitis. I agreed and so the nurse collected 5ml of my blood and some of my tears. To be frank, when she was collecting my precious tears, it was very painful. =(
After the test, we went for happy lunch at IKEA. I had my favourite IKEA meatballs. fried chicken wings and ice cream! It was a satisfying lunch before we went back to the Eye Centre.
When I reached the clinic, the doctor attended to me almost immediately. This time round, the doctor mentioned that the ulcer is relatively close to the middle part of my eye. Hence, he's concerned and asked another eye doctor to assess it. After much discussion, they agreed that I would be okay without being warded and they prescribed some medicine for me. He also scheduled another appointment for further check on Thursday.
And so, I would be going Singapore National Eye Centre again this Thursday. For the past few days, I had been spending lots of time in SGH and Eye Centre. It's so tiring. Moreover, I did not sleep much last night as I had been waking up every half hourly to apply the eye drops. Given that the doctor had prescribed another medicine for me, I guess I would be able to sleep well tonight.
Good night!

When I woke up this morning, I was shocked! My right eye's vision is blurred and hazy! Immediately, I went to the clinic downstairs to see doctor. She referred me to SGH's A&E. And so, my wonderful daddy and mum went to SGH with me.
A&E was really crowded. Looking around me, all the patients look healthy to me, so I had no idea why they were in A&E. It was really a long wait. I was feeling so miserable, but we just got to wait. Apparently, A&E department does not render emergency treatment after all. After waiting for more than 2hrs, it was finally my turn. The doctor inspected my eye and even cut some of my eye cell using some penknife thingy. He gave me 5 days of MC and asked me not to wear contact lens for at least a month.
The doctor asked me to go back to Singapore National Eye Centre for check up tomorrow morning. I really hope that my eye will be better tomorrow as it's irritating to apply eye drop every half hourly.
