ALL I WANT IS YOU




All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

SO CUTE THE SONG! (:

; TEN FEET UNDER

If you can't stand to fall
You should not stand at all
If you can't be small
You should not be at all
Why always try
To be the sun up in the sky
If you are strong
Show me you're weak sometimes

HAPPYNESS.

Well yes, but not entirely. Today marked the last day of my work in BTMU. Happy that I'm free, but sad to leave all the work to the rest. Love the people there, they are so lovely and nice. No politics, or should I say, just some minor politics around. There's so much work to do these few days, I don't know why. Not even some time to sit and stare.

Today I felt very appreciated. Although I'm just a TEMP STAFF. One of the officer didn't know it was my last day today but she still said thank goodness I was there to help. Then I told her it was my last day today she got a horrible shock, haha! Well, that made me feel a little sorry to leave so soon. But what has to be done, has to be done! Before I left the office at 6:40pm, many people thanked me with big wide smiles! Awwww. Shall all acquaintance be forgotten, not.

I do know these people are just acquaintances, which is really sad. But they won't be forgottened, I'm sure (: Time flies, I've been working in there since January. I'm really surprised at myself for lasting that long, really, looking at the mundane work I had to do everyday. It's really just the people! Nicest people, but I have the reason to believe it's not true for all the other companies out there. I've heard a lot about bad politics, but never really got to experience or witness it in my own bank, which I think is very lucky of me? (Or maybe not so because I'm not too exposed to the society yet?) Whichever way you prefer.

Anw, I had a farewell lunch at some pasta place near Far East Square with the few other Temp Staffs who were with me all this while since Jan/Feb. Really appreciate them a lot. Because of them, I need not have to eat alone during lunch, not even for a day! I always had company, and I'm very thankful about that. Heh. Not only that, they were the ones who made boring work so much more fun. I will certainly miss them so much. I'm one of the earliest to leave, which I think is good so I don't have to witness any of them leave in june/july.

This job, though boring, has allowed me to experience the various jobs in a Bank. I've been transferred to so many departments. Let's see, the Compliance dept, Deposit dept, CBD marketing dept, lastly the Trade and Finance dept which was recently renamed and regrouped to become the Import dept. Whoa, all within the span of 5+ months. Coolio huh, and after all those shuffling and shifting, we still met up for lunch all the time. Magic hur?

I will miss having lunch with Grace, Jasmine, Deliang, Kenny and Nelson. I missed having Weiting, Mak and Kendrick (These people left earlier than me) around. I will miss the other Perm staffs like JonSherylCarenConnieLilianMagNurAidiGraceDavidShirlyn blah blah lots more. I will miss how George always disturbs me and vice versa. Omg, I will not forget the time I had to search the the hugeass 'thrashbag' which contained the papers for shredding, for a stupid piece of document not even needed for filing or whatsoever! It was just for security sake, to ensure and prove that we didn't send it out to other customers. It was really interesting though, hahaha.

Ohwel. Now I can't wait to get my pay and spend it on GSS. HEH HEH. Trained home with G and before I left he actually said he'll miss me, Awww. (:

Today is Friday, but not a balling day because the Poly kids are having Common Test. Way to go man, and it's ending latest next Fri if I'm not wrong. So yay, the storm's going to be over soon! :D &&&&&&&&&! I ate Stingray today, Friday, again! HAHA, this time with my Mom. LOL Hello teo if you're reading this, I think we can keep the record going!


see there's no reason to try
and I
stand here with nothing to hide, for you
and I
don't want to say goodbye

"Job, even career, hopping, is another Gen Y characteristic."

"ANOTHER difference is - unlike Baby Boomer and Generation X hires - Gen Y workers expect their work to accommodate their family and personal lives, not vice versa.

They demand jobs with flexibility, telecommuting and the option to go part-time to upgrade or recharge themselves through extended holidays."

TRUE, I SAY.

I told my mom about me quitting this Friday. And she went, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" and kept questioning me what I'm going to do for the next two months or so. Work so hard now for what!? I need some play time, some time to really enjoy life, slack to the max. This is the ONLY time I swear. The next time such an opportunity arrives, it's probably going to be 46 years later when you reach a ripe old age of 65. By then your CPF account would be enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. But, what's the point, you probably won't have the energy to do anything extreme anymore. So, the time is NOW, NOW, NOWW! C'mon people, quit your jobs with me! Hahaha. Okay, I wouldn't mind doing like short-term jobs after I quit, just so I can spend the money I've earned. I hope I wouldn't rot to death after I quit though. RAR. At the most I'll just sun-tann everyday, hahahah. Now, that is some self-fulfillment I'm talking about :D

TIRED, see what work has done to me. Having less time for my family, making me a paler person, making me so much like a robot. But, work can be quite fun sometimes! (: When it's after 4pm, when there's lesser transactions, we shoot rubber bands and tell jokes. We drink the 20 cents milo which tastes awesome despite some other colleagues having said they once had insects from the vending machine. I might miss work, but I certainly won't want to go back anymore.

HEH HEH. Oh yes, met up with the lifeguard girls at Plaza Sing, AGAIN. Someone's bright idea hur. I could FINALLY sense the GSS atmosphere because I was with a bunch of shoppaholics YAYENESS. Had much fun even though I felt rather sick and like a dying woman who haven't been sleeping properly. Driving on Tuesday Night. !!!! I'm finally done with driving, cheers to that! Jap Class on Wednesday. Hahahaha, Masami is a cute teacher! Are all japanese like that? I should think so right, maybe it's just their language. Hahaha

PHOTOS FROM MONDAY!

Start of shopping spree, for them.






Twang and her Michael Jackson pose.


Then comes the as-always-self-timer-shots


Rock stars and superstars LOL.






XZS?!


HAPPY GIRLS :D

Can't wait to meet Shizhen who recently got her butt back here, from the US! I want to have BBQ, I want to eat Nan Hua's food, eat AC's yongtaufoo, get my arse out of The Sunny Island (as they say it), go all kinds of funny things, visit funny places, see funny faces. Ohwel. Happy holidays.

To poly peeeps and Jc peeps! Study hard, at least for now. Then you can enjoy!

ENJOI!

PS I might really just. You know.

; TEN FEET UNDER

I'm going to stop taking things for granted! Make use of any opportunity, and give it my best shot. Whatever happens later on, worry only then. Hahaha, okay whatever.

I'm quite relieved. I think I've more or less made up my mind and accept NUS' offer into Pharmacy. This is really after much thought and after asking almost everyone whom I could have asked, for advice. So, let's hope everything goes well.

Can't wait for the week to be over, I'll be so free! I'll be able to enjoy the GSS with those who are unemployed. Hahaha! Awesomeeeeeee. (:


Some fournine photo from quite long ago which I just got it. Can't exactly remember when was it already/

What a funny photo, the positions are so random!


Crystal jade, zomg I feel like eating xiaolongbaooooos! :D

Photos from Friday!

HAHAHA, obscene.


Yayysies.

Dirty people who don't clean up after perspiring like mad.


Kaes, work tomorrow and I'm still sick. !!!

; TEN FEET UNDER

I WANT TO PLAY!


(Play with me?)

; TEN FEET UNDER

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
They really do come true

What do you do when your mind is set but your road is blocked? So much to being versatile, because I don't think I am.

Anw, well done, Eunice actually read my blog. Hahaha! I doubt she'll be seeing this since she's one big potato couch or couch potato. Whichever way it's supposed to be.

I'm all clogged up. Blocked noes and ears. Sore throat and heavy head. Rar, boo to being sick. Can't go swimming ): Anw, I have a feeling I'm going to miss working in a bank. Because, these few days, work's been good. No, please don't get the wrong idea. The work per se is B-O-R-I-N-G, to the core okay. But, but, but, (life and it's buts makes it so much more interesting, and complex at the same time) there's just something about this whole thing. The people there are really quite funny, they entertain you. At least you know you're not the only one feeling bored sometimes. BUT again, I've made up my mind on quitting, so next week is my last week, yayness. Miss and move on.

I don't want to be mean. I'll try. To tolerate. Can't let this evilness get the better of me. NO! People are nice, just not all the time. People are selfish, but it's not a problem. Not a problem at all. We all know emotions are hard to control. So, breathe in, breathe out, and let it go. LET IT GO MAN!




Whatever it takes, I'll try.

; TEN FEET UNDER

BIZZZZZIE Like no tomorrow.

I woke up at 5.30am, home at 10:30pm, sleeping at 11.15pm, waking up at 7:15am tomorrow, returning home at 10plus pm, and this is going to go on for the week and the next until I finally quit my job!

Interview was not quite fun, but it was interesting. There were only 6 of us and we spent 9 hours in that container building all the way at Kallang. ZOM. Got to see a few athletes and a few injured athletes. & we got to see how people really train the scientific way. There's this thing that's called 'Think Tank' It's like an UFO-lookalike-container with saline water in it. So basically any sportsmen can go in there, float in the saline water and have some sort of a visualiser thing. Uber coolness. Science do wonders. Hahahaha.


SO ANW I'm zonked out now, it's been a really interesting but not so fun amusing long hot day.
SLEEP.

; TEN FEET UNDER

Yesterday

Met up with a few people from the the class for like only 3-4 hours, and I only got to meet Claudia for a mere 30 minutes or so. Hahaha, sad life. Well, it was pretty good catching up, I miss the class. I miss the whole class, in school.






Flash too bright




Cherie roars


This photo and the one below are the only ones with Taufiq's eyes opened.


This is the first time I see Melcher's bigbig eyes. Hahah!


Spencer the Buddha hahaha


Buddha and Krishna?

Loof is a funnily random place, lemme tell you why.
First the name probably suggests it's on a roof. So okay, a roof we went. Second look, looks like a bird park with all the cages-


Then it looks abit like a hospital operation theatre.


THEN, it looks like it's China memorial place with Maozedong's portrait.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay enough of yesterday. Two days ago was a bad day, Yesterday-day was a bad day. Tonight's a bad night. It just keeps getting worse. Life's a bitch, when things do downhill, they go ALL THE WAY DOWN. Why isn't it so for going up, why can't we go sky high? Why do we have to fall? Why do all bad things come in a bunch, especially so when you're supposed to be having fun?

Problems after problems, if that's not enough, people make it worse for you. Is this my life or your life? My dreams or yours? Why tell me only now, why didn't you tell me earlier, why did you push everything to me, why only now? I don't mean to be mean, but, sometimes I really need to lament. Shiate, I love life no matter how it just backfires you sometimes. Tell me this is just optimism, it isn't self denial.

Another problem is, I didn't get into Medicine ): Sad life, just when I know what I really want to do, I lose it. So now, it's a dilemma between Pharmacy or Biz+Accountancy. Damn, why am I so indecisive. What about now, what about elsewhere, what about the future? My mom says Pharmacy, and she insists on it. It's irritating, because isn't it my choice ultimately? I'm sorry. I'm an arse. I know I'm indecisive, yet I don't like it when people like mom try to force me to do something either. I'd probably like Pharmacy, but insisting me to do it just isn't the way. Oh crap, I'm sorry, it's just the way I am ):

I have to wake up at 5.30am tomorrow and go to SSC which is all the way at kallang. ):

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

We'll see how it goes okay. I know there'll be a way out, and I have faith. Whatever I choose, I'll only look forward, and don't ever look back, like what Melisa has said, "After you choose, don't go thinking bout whether you made the wrong choice".

Tomorrow will be a good day because there's no work, although I still have to wake up early. TSK. Well well, sunshine after rain I hope.

Friday's Tootsie Nerds



Okay, maybe I'm going to swim, then to shop, screw spring cleaning!

; TEN FEET UNDER

!!!!!!!!!!)(*$)(*#)(*$@)#$*__)(@#(*$)(#*@)*(!

Watched ACJC VS RJC Netball Finals at Toa Payoh today. It was super exciting at the last part because the score was SO frigging close! It's like every shot we shot in, they shot in too, so it's like we're always leading, then drawing. WHALAO EH I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT. rararararaJC won by one, and only at the last minute. What a stroke of luck hur. Before that we were leading by 9 or so points. What the shiate, this can't be happening. Must be YKQ's foul mouth! I swear I will not ask her to watch the finals next year, )(*#()$*@#($*&^! Disappointment, but next year we will win for sure, I have faith in AC!

So anw, after the whole thing we went for our usual-netball-on-Fridays. Pretty good, very tiring, played a bit of soccer, the whole rim of the pole broke off, eu twisted her ankle (yet again), me and tl had our usual Stingrays-on-Fridays (the only difference is the location).

No more sentosa tmr ): I'm going to do some spring cleaning in my room instead.

G msged to tell me they almost died today because I took leave and because it's a friday before the public holiday's eve so they almost got drowned by work. Ohwel too bad.

Long long break (:

I'M HAVING A REALLY GOOD LAUGH ALL THANKS TO MS TEO TZELING!

If you're really bored/sad/need a good laugh, please read THIS dated on Sunday, May 11, 2008.

HAHAHA TEOTZELING you're funny, past, present and forever more please. That entry was rather nostalgic, it's like bringing all of us back to those days in nanhua, but still, it's so hilarious! Hahaha.

Miss those times so much. They were really just stupid, funny and (not-so) innocent times.

Thank you teeteeelle and laopee for bringing such memories back to all of us! :DD


Yayyeness on friday.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Mother's day was awesome. It was simple, but sweet (: I prepared dinner with my sista. I know she'll probably want me to be a better person better than just giving her a branded wallet, but you know, it's the thought that counts. She loved it, but I know she loves all of us more (:

Happy mother's day to Jessica and Happy grandmother's day to Yong and happy pet's day to teo. If ya'll ever going to read this. Haha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Went swimming on Sunday, I got a little tanner, but definitely not fitter because I talked to the uncles more than I swam. Anw, it's quite cool you get to meet random primary school friend's father at the pool and you even get to talk for quite a bit. Anw, the same old uncle was once again trying to improve my strokes. He said I swim nicely okay hahahaha! Okay, I get contented/happy very easily.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Driving today, driving tmr, Jap on wed, rest on thu, ball on fri, sentosa on sat, yuzhe's one month old party on sunday. Whoa!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Talked to my boss abit today, I think she's quite friendly although she likes to show people that she's not really. I like it when people takes the initiative to talk to you, or when you take the initiative to talk to people, you get pretty good responses.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Better get some sleeep, need to get energized for the week ahead!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hahahaha, teotzeling I'm still thinking, laughing and smiling to myself after your post, hahahahaha!

Early Good Morning and Happy Mother's Day!

I'm back. Mother's day is like such a big hoo-haa event of the year suddenly. Met up with Sam and Laupy just to get Mother's day gift! We're filial kids for once! And I'm glad I finally got something, yayyes, hope she'll love it (: We searched up and down, high and low, left and right for The Gift, it's such a challenge. I can finally buy things for my family because I'm working so when I buy, I'm using my own money and not their's. So I guess this is what makes it more special this year? Hahaha.

We were supposed to go Sentosa again, but don't know who's foul mouth ah, rain rain rain, and it really did rain+thunderstorm! Rar, well at least it's a good thing that it rained so that we're able sleep a little longer and to get a decent present for our mamas rather than pick up small and rotten seashells by the beach. And we got to eat macaroons, yogurt and ice cream, yayness. Sentosa next week, I hope?

So anyway, I can't wait for later, give my present and have a nice dinner at my sister's place. Yay! (: Love my parents! It's funny how it's so hard to express your love when you can so easily say it to someone else whom you might not really love as much. Funny isn't it? Ohwell. All I wish is for my family and friends to stay healthy and happy. Just the 2Hs, not the 3Cs.

I wish there's more than 24 hours a day, I wish I had more time. It's May already, almost half a year gone it's like how fast can? D:

Okay I better get some sleep.

; TEN FEET UNDER

Good Afternoon!

It's one of the very rare moments again, I don't usually blog in the afternoon but I'm doing it now. How exciting, hahaha!

I love Fridays! Fridays are like weekends, just that you've got work before all the fun actually happens. Anw, I think this balling thing is very good! It brings everyone together. Now I see the point of having Olympics, sports brings wellness and uhm, togetherness? Gibberish again. Back to the point, balling was really fun! Like to see all the nhgirls together having fun, laughing, eating, drinking, talking talking talking about everything under the stars, being dirty but not being bothered about it.

This is very abrupt, but I'm going out now. Haha, update more when I'm back! BYE.

; TEN FEET UNDER

Relieved

All my major interviews are finally over! Yayness to that, left with SSC interview which I'm not really bothered much about, just hope it'll be fun. Anyway, I thought the real killer question for the Medicine's second round of interview was: tell me about the latest book you've read. Haha, zomg, I DON'T READ BOOKS, :X! But other than that it was pretty okay, standard questions. Ohwell I'm so glad it's all over.

First I went for ntu's in the morning, then nus in the afternoon. Ntu is really quite ulu, it took me about an hour to finally reach the school. But ohwell, everything else seemed okay, it wasn't as bad as what I've heard from people. Anw, I met CindyNeo at the same interview in ntu! Haha, pleasant surprise she's still as funny. And I met naz and feifan and a few other familiar faces at nus. Cool hur, the World is so small.

Ironically, I finally had the time to breathe abit today even though there were a total of 3 interviews in total. Work is such a chore. I'm feeling quite bad for always not being able to do OT for a longer period of time because I always have stuffs on after work! And the only solution to this is, TO QUIT. Yes, end May, come what may!

Haven't been online (or appearing online) for quite a while. It's quite weird.


Met Bernice and Hweeyi at BBDC! Yay, I love seeing familiar faces haha.


OKAY, work tmr, ball again. Yay!

NIGHT WALK!


Addie the bumble bee


walkwalkwalkwalkwalkwalkwalk

Great Friday night's out at NP. Awesome seeing the girls! :D Awesome playing netball although I've lost touch of it and although it-was-quite-dark-and-so-are-most-of-them, bel-is-the-ultimate-so-I-couldn't-really-see-very-well. Yes, what a long long sentence haha. Awesome! Dinnercumsupper at the market, then a night walk just looking and admiring the private houses. Yayye, happy love (:

Anw, it's good to have something to look forward to after work, it's such a great motivation for me to be efficient. I should say friday was the busiest day at work because I had to do 2 people's work and also because it was after mayday public holiday so there's many many many transactions. Chiong-ed like mad because I don't wanna go late to meet the girls. So, I was very motivated hahaha.

RAR, I missed a driving prac, I think. I don't know if I just wasted $68 or not, because on my phone I put a reminder, but when I checked I didn't see the slot. Well, anw I woke up really late. $$$ working makes your heart ache more for the money wasted, and it's not a small sum. (*&#@!! At least now I've learnt my lesson, always check my schedule for the week!

Can't wait for next week to be over, can't wait for my interview to be over, can't wait for my work to end, can't wait for good food, can't wait for happing endings.

Right now, I can't wait to sleep

OKAY SUPER TIRED! OUT.
