early celeb

had really early celebrations this year due cny but all were good as i had ra ra good times wif my sec and jc mates.

on fri, we had a triple birthday celebrations at the the cafe@ fortcanning. we were supposed to enjoy the outdoor bbq buffet but due to the afternoon rain, the restaurant had changed its menu to a indoor buffet instead. food was not too bad. enjoyed the desserts most! haha..the sweet tooth..

and guess wat present i received? it's a book...about working efficiently. hah. implying something eh? alright, guess it will definitely come in handy for work...hopefully i'll have the time to read. still stuck at lance.

though the 5 of us had juz met up during the xmas dinner, but there wasn't much time to catch up and besides, the gang during xmas was kinda big. so it's tough to catch up on each and everyone's life.

it was really nice that after many so many years, we gals still make an effort to meet up and celebrate birthdays or the festive holidays. of course, all these would not be possible if none of us take the extra mile, spent the extra money in smsing or calling one another in order to organize an outing. what i really love and treasure about the cedarians is, even though we dun meet up that often, but when we have the chance, we girls can juz poured our hearts and souls out to one another without hesitation. it made me realise that no matter wat happen to me, i can always count on this bunch of gals, to share my woes and of course, the joy. =)

another thing which i admire about my girlfriends is, we accept one another as who we are, regardless of our flaws, backgrounds, the things we do, how our boyfriends look, behave and the list goes on. a classic example. no matter how late we are for our dates, none of us flared up. amazing rite? haha..perhaps we all have super tolerance level. of course, this doesn't mean that you can be late all the time! listen kp and bao! haha

another group of girlfriends which i can always look count on too will be my jc mates. met up wif shar, jean and noble for dinner at corduroy & finch. i have to say the place looks fab and the food taste fab too! esp the goulash. i love my goulash. oh yea..who can forget about the desserts!! gawk...esp the handsome strawberries and royal choc cake. wahahaha...i'm feeling hungry now. opps. would love to go back again coz i have a thing wif resturants that have nice ambience and good desserts! drooling already...

i'm kinda disgusted wif myself nowadays. coz i haven't been to the gym for 2 weeks and the worst thing is, i'm not even guilty!!!

dodgy chocolates

terrible terrible terrible!! reached home close to 10 and intended to work late tonite but to my surprise, i fell asleep at 10.30! told sista to woke me up at 11. either she too fell asleep or she couldn't get me to wake up. gawk..was still telling xiao i'll meet her online to 'work' together but i guess the alcohol content in those chocolates were juz too strong. had 3 only and i concussed! can't imagine if i had finished the entire tray of it. hang over? high possible..

work was good..busy but not too stress. everyone is nice and kinda funny...guess auditors will always be auditors. only we understand and appreciate our own little audit jokes. hahaha...the partner came down and bought us lunch at old beijing at novena square. food was really quite good and the servings were huge! juz when we all thought we could finally had the dessert, the noodles came! and guess wat was dessert? tang yuan! arhhh...super gluey and full! result? carbo overload! was so full that i didn't even have dinner..lest for those dodgy chocolates.

had to ditch jean and gym today when mu sup called to confirm that the mgr wants to see the file on mon. mon??!?! did i hear correctly? speaking about tat, i better stop blogging and get started on work unless i wanna miss dinner and work late tom again. sigh...work work work. i wanna play play play!

by the way ppl. metro having storewide 20% this sat!

reminiscence...

i realised how much i missed hall life when i went back to support the guys and girls softball game followed by a trip back to the new hall. perhaps the hectic work life has made me appreciate the goodness of hall life.

had heard so much about the structure and interior of the hall and how it would affect hall life in the negative way. but after meeting up wif bezoomny and seoks prior to the game and hearing wat they felt for the new place, i was kinda excited about stepping into it.

as bezoomy drove in, the place reminded me of a school with 8 storeys full of airconditioned classrooms as well as a carpark wif enuff space for a campfire. though the rooms are small, but it has its goodness. small also mean cosiness. and if u decorate it with the right accessories, the place can indeed look wonderful as i have witnessed for myself.

saw the freshies gathered in seok junior's room playing. sigh..how i miss my mahjong cum da di or bridge sessions! memories of drinking sessions held in the lounge and wee hours chit chats and gossips surfaced in my head. alright, mayb i exaggerated. but i really do miss hall life. participating in hall events, jcrc and comm work got me some chums which i can always rely on in trouble times or loneliness. hahaha..

the more we talked about hall life over dinner, the more i feel liek studying again. lucky for those who are now in nie and still can be back in hall.

guess the grass is always on he greener side. when u are studying, u wish u could get the hell out of there and make some bucks out in the working world. but when u are sloughing out in the real world, u regretted graduating too soon. this is life. u can never be satisfied. so we should learn to appreciate all that we have now as well as what we r doing now. coz one day, we'll be thankful that we have wonderful memories to reminisce about.

boo woo...i'm suffering the withdrawal symptoms of hall life..even though i'm Jem-ming now...and it's mon tom!! double boo! monday blues...looking forward to fri...

frustrating week

it has been a terrible week..real bad, except for mon's bbq at guru's place. had a jolly good time mahjonging and gossipping. but that was about it. the rest of the week kinda sux..

first, got sick on wed. decided to take mc. i mean, wat's health compared to work? if u r sick, u can't work for sure. even if u can, efficiency will definitely be affected. well well..but i was kinda wrong. i guess during peak period, there are so much to do such that even if u r sick, that bit of work done is better than nothing.

when i go back to work on thurs, i was in an utter loss. so much to do and so little time. plus it's kinda a new job. with so much accounts that i've gotta perform work to, i was grasping for air. plus, the client wasn't all that nice and helpful. well, at least he doesn't scold us. so i should be thankful for that.

at the end of the day, i did almost nothing. was worried, flustered and frustrated. and he was rushing us to go off at 6 coz he needs to pick up his son. it's situation like that where u want to work late but u can't. at that moment, i really regretted taking mc on wed. so much could have been done. i should really learn to take care of my health.

thankfully, my a2 was wif me. she shared her experiences and i realised, there are times which u gotta work another way. not the way which we are taught to, but it's definitely a way that can get things done. mind u, i'm not talking about cutting corners. it's about flexibility. so much about being adaptable to situations. i realised i've been rather stubborn in the ways i do things. jus becoz i was taught this way, it doesn't mean that it will work for all situations. perhaps experience will teach u the other ways to work smart, yet still get things done.

went home. thought about wat i should do and had a rough plan for the next day. worked till 2 am. gawk, i felt like i was burning the midnight oil for a major quiz. but working late and getting some work done definitely made me feel better about the job. skipped lunch to look and search through their documents as i was so pressed for time. finally at 5, i had a breather. phew...was in a relax mood, waiting to head back to office to start my documentation.

gonna work in house today to complete my work. hopefully, i cna enjoy my liverpool match at nite in peace, and have a good time at the softball finals tom.

adieu..

ill...

woke up wif a swollen left eye and cheek..and runny nose. decided to take mc..too hideous and weak to go to work. juz woke up from my nap..the nose is much better..almost fine. i muz say the flu medicine is good. but the swell on the eye is still there. the doc said it's cizer (dunno how u spell it) or otherwise known as ba chiam by the chinese. if it doesn;t recover, has to go for a minor op to remove the boil. *praying hard*

kinda worried about work. has to pull out by fri but hardly any work is done yet. sigh...

and a Happy New Year!!

i jzu slept way into the new year. so HAPPENING! this is the one year where i didn't go anyway. not like i have big bang parties in the prior years (gosh! auditing term!) but usually i will either be out catching movie or walking around the esplanade area to catch the fireworks. perhaps age is catching up. hahah..seriously, i feel old. am so afraid that ppl will say i look 25 or older.

attended a stock take this morning. stretched all the way till late afternoon. i'm almost at the tuas check point. it's juz getting further and further. caught up wif peanut over tea it's juz nice to meet up wif old pals and know that they r doing fine. and he's such a nice chap. drove me back home and later to wk's house. perhaps he was touched by the xmas gift we got him. though it's cheap, but it harbours the care and well wishers we have for him.

we got the same prezzie except a different character for cloud. think it came as a surprise for her too and we received a box of chocolates in return. it was nice and i ate most of it coz took it home instead of sharing wif him! haha..somehow, i juz didn't really satisfy my craving for chocolates this xmas, though he claimed i have been eating disgusting a lot. and it has been factually confirmed coz i put on 2 kg!! tsk tsk..but i have been happier these days too. muz be the endorphins from choco and the runs. well well, no issues about the weight..juz that tummy. heh

perhaps the one group of frenz which i didn't catch up wif gotta be the giap giap. i'm such a lousy fren coz i ditched them for cloud. haha..schedules la..diff to please and meet everyone's. but still, i believe we'll meet up soon!

the wee hours chats wif fellow colleagues were cool too. kinda feel intellectual and executive like. it was nice sharing our views and opinions on certain issues. this is certainly a good way to share knowledge since most of us are either too busy or too lazy to read up. but i guess it's more of the latter. haha..

anyway, my new yr resolutions?
none this year coz i almost always never fulfilled them. but hey, wat's last yr? i forgot!

alright, my new resolution is to have a fruitful and fufilling 2006!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ppl!
