!!! I PAINTED MY TOE NAILS DARK RED !!!

cant really believe it myself too... thanks to Jing... wanted to get a colour closer to pink to go with my fingernails... but was persuaded to paint it dark red instead... i know the colour is really nice & mature... but i dun think i can carry it off very well leh... guess i really need lots of time to get used to it...

oh... but the nail colour goes very well with a new pair of heels i just bought... =)

... 1st post for 2009 ...

i know i haven been updating for a quite a while.. but i din know i haven blog even once since 2009 started... lol... i wasnt exactly very busy... but i guess i was just purely lazy.. as usual... wanted to blog quite a no of times... but my laziness just managed to push the thought of blogging away... tsk tsk...

to summarise some of the things i did in the last couple of weeks... met up with 4 grps of ppl which i haven seen for a long time... one is my ex-colleagues from my internship company... another is some from RV Interact Club... not to forget my RV Sec 4 classmates & PJC J1 classmates... i think it is really nice to be able to catch up with friends which you haven met for a long time... finds it great to know how they have been... and it is pretty amazing to see how different they have changed over the years too... (refering to 1 of the Sec 4 classmates here... think Jing & Meizhi should know who...)

also got to know one shocking news from my ex-colleagues abt what happened after i left my internship company... major changes & restructuring were unavoidable... but i din expect something i did in the past will create such a hoo-ha in the company after i ended my internship... i used to write a blog during internship to track what i have done so as to help me in writing my attachment log book... of course i cant help it but added some emotions in... like how sianz i think preparing & updating the new system was since it was mostly admin work... & this actually resulted in my ex-internship managers having a bad impression coz someone in the company found my blog... (wth...)


apparently... this new IT manager, who joined the company after i left, went to search online for the name of the new system & came across my blog.. then he showed it to my ex-managers... which resulted them to interrogate my ex-colleagues... when i heard this... i was super shocked la... din expect anyone to go search la.. they told me my senior ex-manager was pretty upset with this... but i seriously dun mean any harm.. nor was i criticising abt the new system.. i cant even rem what i wrote... & i also cant rem when i deleted tt blog... i should have deleted tt blog right after my internship... then there wun be so much shit le i guess... to think i even asked my ex-manager(the more junior one) to be one of my referals for my resume... 1 big mistake... sigh...

... disappointed ...

i dun wanna think she is lying to me... & tt she din really wanna help me in this...

i wanna give her the benefits of the doubts... "maybe she din see properly?" ... but i actually called her another time to confirm...

but i just cant help but feel disappointed... i know we have drifted a bit... not as close as before... but i dun think i am asking a lot from a friend... i just need to borrow something which she has extras & she wun be using anymore... even if my friend who ask me of such a favour (not to mention closer ones).. i will help...

not tt i am stingy or what... i know i can easily get one from the shops... i just dun wanna waste money on something which will be with us temporary only...

arghhhhh.... dunno la...

... what a $#%$%@^%$ day ...

i am refering to Sunday 28th Dec 2008... before tt i would like to clarify first...the following post has no racism content k... it just happens tt the grp i am going to talk abt all belong to the same race...

I went ECP in hope of seeing the booth i saw on Fri night... but to my disappointment... there was none!!! Jeremy was nice to come pick me up to go meet the rest of FOC peeps for lunch & movie since he decided to drive... i knew it was a wasted trip on my side.. but i am okie with it... but bad things like to happen together i supposed...

Just when he came out of his car to find me at the carpark.. he met 2 of his friends doing canvessing for their hall... they are doing car washing to earn the bucks... though we were going to be late for our appointment... Jeremy decided to help supports the gals in their canvessing efforts... hence he decided to leave the car in their hands for 10 min & we went for a drink at the hawker centre... Being very nice ppl... we also bought some drinks back for them... Soon.. his friend walked over to inform us his car is ready...

After walking to his car... a few stupid malay aunties walked over & started taking down Jeremy's car plate no... we immediately went up to say we were leaving... but they claimed that they have been in the carpark for 20 min & they saw the car parked there without any coupon... so we told them the car is left there for them to wash them & Jeremy went to the toilet... but they carried on to say tt the students are not supposed to do car washing at the car park there & it is a fact tt the car has been there for the past 20 min... no use even if we are leaving.. threaten us tt we better accept the summon or else she will ask her head to come down & issue a more serious fine... the way she spoke to us is utterly rude!!! and none of us were even rude to her in the first place... when some of us helped to speak up.. she even retorted back saying she is just talking to the car owner so the rest of us should just SHUT UP! I really feel like bashing her up man!!!!

Then she suspected one of the students was taking down their names... again she retorted back & came up to tt gal saying she can take down her name & others all she wants.. asked her to look carefully at her name tag... then claimed tt she is very experienced.. did everything according to rules... scolded the gal stubborn several times... what the hell.. what has this got to do with stubborness?!?!? crazy old lady... so finally the leader of the student grp stepped out & say she shouldnt said tt.. & they will leave now... Jeremy also said a couple of times during the arguement saying tt he will just accept the 30 bucks fine so that idiotic malay auntie should just stop losing her cool & keep scolding the students... they got what they wanted so they left... & another Malay auntie did not forget to point a finger at us before leaving too... i so feel like breaking her finger at that time...

Jeremy's friends actually told the malay guy officier tt they were washing the last car & they will definitely leave after tt.. & he said okie!!! but that stupid malay auntie is his officer.. so there is nothing he can do also... only to watch how the arguement break out lo... sia right... but the students are at fault too la.. coz they dun have a permit to do car washing at ecp...

Jeremy's friends felt very bad abt the whole incident... coz he ganna those shit becoz of them... i felt worse la... if i dun go ECP to find tt stall.. Jeremy wun go ECP to meet me... then he wouldnt ganna all these shit la... though he said he is going to appeal for it... hence asked us not to worry... but i think i will feel bad for a very long time unless his appeal is successful la...

damn those stupid malay aunties... i wanna say this to them: if u are pms-ing... dun work k...

... updates ...

dunno where to start... so much had happened for the past couple of weeks...

went to Taipei for a biz trip with my boss... met Jackson there to pass him his surprise from his gf... super sweet sia... feel happy for him! I met him on my 1st night at Taipei... just did some walking ard & a bit of shopping... weather was super cool la!!! realli miss the weather man... coz when i was back in SG... SG's weather became hotter than usual... sianz... of course... did learn a couple of things from this biz trip... a good experience to have... =)

supposed to clear leave after i am back from Taipei... as end year are supposed to be quieter & freeer for my dept... but due to changes of the mkts... i can only start clearing my bulk leave after christmas... just took 2 days last week & 1 day next week for rest... super looking forward to my leave... felt pretty helpless at work... and demoralising too... efforts put in but no harvest yet at all...

Iris has already flew to US le... & Meizhi is flying soon the week after... white xmas... so envious!!! Enjoy yourselves k gals!!! =D

Went Starbucks @ One Fullerton twice recently... really like it there... the wind... the sea... a bit of scenery too & a lot of machines as the uncompleted IR can be seen from there too... i think it is a very good place to talk too... Jing will know what i mean...

My cousin just gave birth to a very cute baby boy... though i am not very close to her... but i still accompanied my mum & aunt to the hospital to visit the baby & my cousin... a very adorable baby!!! I foresee him to be a good-looking... cute... fine gentleman after he grew up.. haha... will be seeing the baby boy a few hrs later too... My uncle is giving us all a treat to celebrate his promotion... from a dad to a grandpa... =D

*yawnz*... think i should stop my blabbers le... got a feeling i will enjoy this long weekend... going out... chilling... celebrating... shopping... movie... mj... how i wish Tuesday dun come...

... surprise!.. 'surprise'....

dun pin too much hopes... my surprises are definitely not as sweet as Meizhi's... =p

was caught by 'surprise' this morning... din expect it to come early coz there was no symptoms of cramps yesterday or the day before.. but i can feel the cramps coming le... totally sianz by it... felt light headed too...

another surprise! was from my boss yesterday.. he has gotten the nod from our director to bring me to Taiwan for a business trip in Nov... having mixed feelings abt it... excited... but scared at the same time... think Pandans will know why i am scared... pls dun remind me of any ghost stories again next time we meet up k...

wonder if another surprise will come along... hope it wun be a bad one...

... losing them... or lost them ...

Just finished talkin on the phone with Jing for a while... guess both of us are feeling emo or pms or what-f... she took half day off to go home & rest... while i am supposed to get ready for tuition now... dun feel like going but no choice.. since i have already committed myself with it... more to come on weekdays & weekend... tired... realli tired...

A lot of times.. after you lost something... it is really hard gain them back... i know i need to do something abt them... but i am not sure even if i ever do something... will things recover to what it was or what i wanted it to be? "It always take 2 hands to clap".. heard this so many times... do understand the meaning behind it too... but knowing & doing... it is different...

sigh... maybe things will just never be the same again...

... 10km ReaL WaLk/RuN ...

Haha... supposed to run la... but i realli dun like the trail part... so sticked with my my female colleagues, Sue & Jo... we walked most of it... ran only when we see our male colleagues, Vish & Carl coming in the opp direction & whenever we saw professional cameras... of coz to aviod them... =p

Miracles do happen... we finished it in 1hr & 55 min... haha...

Went for Mac breakfast at Siglap Centre after the run... Vish's treat... since he was the one who persuaded all of us to go for the run... despite the initial objections & whining... we still signed up... he was indeed a good sales man... but it was a good experience.. =)

Went home after tt... supposed to take Carl's car back but he has to go meet his fiancee last min so he isnt going to the north area anymore.. hence told him it was okie & i had to ask Vish to drop me at Tampines Interchange so i can take a bus back... but Vish was nice to send me home even though he lives near Siglap... however we chatted too much till we missed the expressway exit to my place... then i gave him the wrong direction.. & we made circles till we reach my place... felt so bad abt it & paiseh..

Though i am not enjoying much of my job scope.. but my colleagues are realli nice... my office is at a strategic place... anyway the financial mkts are so bad now... i should just stick with my present job.. things wun always go ur way.. just have to learn & live with it...

3.30am le!!!!! Has been a long time since i stayed up till so late!!! haha... i took leave from work tmr/later... not to rest but to teach tuition... sigh... sad siaz... but all will be over in 2 weeks time!!!

Certainly need lots of "me" time & "friends" time.. cant help but feel tt i have neglected many of my friends ever since i started working... defnitely looking forward to my next leave... ^_^

FEELING FAT!!!

cant take it anymore... i feel like i have been eating too much from friday till today... i just got an eclaire from my female boss & kaya toast from my analyst colleague... this is the first time i feel tt i am overeating & i need exercise desperately... i must go for a run before dinner later!!! (hopefully i will just eat a little for dinner so tt my efforts wun go down the drain...)

oh... and i am the last one to leave office today.. when it is only 615pm... miracle... haha

... need something to look forward to ...

i think i ate a bit too much tis weekend... wanted to go for jog initially too but din eventually... FAT!!!

Dim sum was good yesterday... but Yuxin cant join us last min coz her company's amazing race ended late & she only reached home at 530am... poor gal... looks like we can only meet her after she is back from her HK company trip...

tuition will officially ends 2 weeks later for me... it is realli tiring to juggle btw work & tuition.. practically no life too.. maybe i should just look forward to the end of my tuition in end Oct...

actually there was supposed to be something i can look forward to in work.. but now with the extreme volatility of the mkts.. i cant help but feel pessimistic... dun wanna pin on hopes anymore...

Oh!!! I can actually look forward to the next meet-up with the Pandans which they suggested it to be a pedicure session!!! Never been to one before but after hearing Iris, Lydia & Meizhi's descriptions... sounds interesting & fun... looking forward to trying... no harm paying for pretty toe nails... =P
