mahjong = fear

2012-01-24T22:37:00.001+08:00

i always thought mahjong is addictive. but for the past 2 occasions when i played during this chinese new year, it brought a little fear whenever i see them.dear told me never to fear or get angry over them. they are your "friends" and they have feelings. like them and they will be good to u. hmm...its normal to always get super mixed up tiles at first but they come in slowly. slowly till someone

2012-01-22T08:54:00.003+08:00

Goodbye wisdom tooth...

finally attended dear's DnD last night. i was supposed to go last yr but was sent to US for IITSEC thus he could send me off at the airport as the event was held at Crown Plaza (somewhere at the airport too).it was unexpected quiet. i feel for the MC cos even after the 3rd try at the start of the event, the mood was kinda low and very few ppl cheered. i m not sure about the staff in dear's

2011-09-18T12:15:00.007+08:00

after 26 years staying in singapore, dear n i decided to head down to St John Island.Sat an't the ideal day as the last boat leaves at 3.45pm from St John and 4.30pm from Kusu Island back to singapore. if we knew that was the timing, we would have took the earliest boat which is 9am there instead of 12pm.nevertheless, we walked to the left from the main jetty, sat down for our nasi lemak

i actually cycled on my mum's new bike from home to punggol where my future home is... cool! its a distance but still, we cut through the flats, roads, highway to the plot of flat land. its abt 45mins under the hot sun. a canal has been nicely built; pretty for photo taking. then while we were cycling back (face red, body soaked wet), i chanced by McDonald's. so there we had our ice cream cones

2011-07-31T17:13:00.008+08:00

Day 1 (22nd Jun 2011): NanjingMet up for lunch with Casey's dad. Shock to see the amount of food that they ordered.Culture:1) Always have lots of food left on the table left. If not, they will think that the guest did not enjoy or feel that the host is not generous enough as there were no left over (based on my assumptions).2) Always "kum" the tea/wine/beer with everyone before eating.

another colleague left

2011-06-24T22:28:00.002+08:00

he has been in this company for the past 6 yrs and i felt it's time for him to venture to more other jobs or adventure, new experiences outside, get to know new friends and learn more other skills. rather than having to provide manpower for training, doing eLearning coursewares, "clearing" all "shit" from whoever wherever, attending meetings and getting involves in big discussion, helping company

2011-06-08T22:16:00.003+08:00

2011-05-29T16:51:00.004+08:00

its kinda a good feeling after an exercise which is necessary for my case as i have put on 3 kg since the day i stopped gym. i feel very demoralised n have been eating cos that made me have the motivation to work on days i m have more time than usual.my dad just started working a few weeks ago, n my mum isn't happy cos his job is on shift basis. 2 days of morning, afternoon, evenings shift work n

2011-03-30T18:46:00.002+08:00

till date, he has been the most respectful department head i have had. i got a little sad when he told me his decision yesterday. now i don't know how i should react whenever he approaches me, giving me assistance in projects i m in.it really did affected me now that he told me about this news. sigh! now i understood y my boss ask him not to tell anyone about his resignation. there an't anyone

weeks past so quickly n my work to be done seems to be increasing. I can't seem to get them cleared off my shelf...I shld b happy when my company email address is down for the weekend but I m not. rather, felt I needed so badly to access it cos I have things to clarify with others for next week. sigh... sometimes perhaps I shld stop myself from looking forward to the weekends now. it doesn't seem

i love looong weekends... this CNY on thurs n fri, plus the weekends is purely SHIOKNESS!as usual, my first day was just vising my grandparent and eldest aunt. dinner was buffet at my 4th aunt's. nth fanciful as my relatives don't play mahjong or gamble. it was simple and sweet.since young, i don't pay a visit to my relatives in malaysia. u can ask me when was the last time we went back for CNY,

2011-01-03T09:00:00.003+08:00

there were so many memories that i had last year which are unbearable. it was great and i hope this yr would be a better one for me!

bad start of the yr

2011-01-02T22:09:00.002+08:00

perhaps i was commenting too much. perhaps i was taking things to harshly. perhaps i was just not in the mood.as everyone in Singapore knows, it has been raining like no ones business. one minute, it rains heavily, the next, it turns to sun shine and then without realising, it starts to drizzle with a heavy rain pour after that again.i felt it wasn't appropriate to enter Sentosa even though i

2010-12-10T12:23:00.003+08:00

I dont know wat's happening to me. I should have asked for MC, a longer rest at home for the weekend since I know myself that my body isn't adapting to the change after I m back from US.My vision is always blurry. I got to blink my eyes several times to look at my screen. And then seconds later, it goes back to blur. sigh! I am down with a flu and continuous cough at times. It's bad!Just

2010-10-16T11:10:00.004+08:00

so now i am given another task to learn and experience the process of getting a proposal done in a company. this time, it's not comparable from the one i did in my Uni when i was in a group of 5 and we got to write out an ideal consulting proposal, with all the last min changes done within any free time u can find after interacting with our "acting" clients and when the bidding was up, it was

2010-10-12T21:59:00.003+08:00

i m asked to choose the direction i want to be go in my company. since the COO left, i was left alone, not under anyone to report to. it kinda sucks when something goes wrong, i have no one to approach and no one will try to save my ass whenever someone, whoever hates me, tries to stab me by the back(it's a long sentence, i know). hm... yup! i jus came back from a training this morning at ngee

after the end of this week, 2 of my colleagues will be leaving. the ex head of ID is back yesterday when we shifted to the new place. it's kinda scary after hearing that i will be under her in charge from this month onwards.actually i guess as much that i will be under her. since i joined this company, i used to be under her, Michelle and after 2 months, she left. then i was transferred to be

is it double happiness or problems in the future?

2010-09-19T22:43:00.002+08:00

i really wonder if it's a blessing when a couple gets married. it's always nice to be together with your love one forever but it's may also be another phase of life that they begin to have 2 parents; one your own parents and the other are your in laws. hm...now i m feeling the double pressure from both. i have my own problems at home. hoping to give the other a better impression is kinda tough.

y our chances for HDB seems slimmer than before

2010-09-15T15:51:00.004+08:00

how i wish it's my first time applying for a flat in spore. the chances seems better than wat i have gone through after the 4th application. i thought my chances to getting a unit was higher but it seems worse. exceeded the 300% for the last one. sigh!~ even jurong area also so hard to get.i guess there are lots of Singaporeans facing this problem too. we both feel very sian of the results

people leaving the company like water

2010-09-08T15:53:00.002+08:00

it seems scary seeing the number of ppl leaving the company. they didn't resign but was ask to go. i don't feel fortunate to be the longest still standing but still, some left feeling glad as the working experience here seems torturing for them. it's not their kind of job scope to stay any longer too.my buddy, Jhoanna is leaving the company (not ask to go but decided to resign for good) on the

Not to mention anything bad about he himself (since he is my senior), I shall just take his comment and change for the better.i kinda told

my first virgin trip overseas for work. superb experience in Penang till i got fatter after 2 days, eating so much with my fellow colleagues. it's kinda scary seeing the guys both eat so much, double portion for every food we tried. seriously, the food we tried can never be tasted so nice in SG.First night, after we checked in at the hotel, we headed straight for supper to get our stomach going..

2010-07-26T13:55:00.006+08:00

it's not my first time attending a wedding lunch but it's my first time doing gate crashing and getting all sticky in the house, trying all way out to not let the groom enter.Sherly has only one bride maid helping out with the preparation and all. I kinda help out with the gate crashing and it was disastrous. my boss (company big boss) which is the groom's brother-in-law was strong enough to

My first live experience for NDP (Singapore)

2010-07-18T17:02:00.008+08:00

"This is still much better than watching the NDP on tv!" I commented to my parents while watching the performance live yesterday. This year, the NDP is held at Padang and I was fortunate enough to attend one of the rehearsal where everything was right in front of my eyes! I was able to have a good eye view of anything that is taking place on the stage.The weather was fantastic. The crowd who were

salary earned vs the increase in cost for everything in Singapore

2010-06-23T09:12:00.005+08:00

i feel damn sian when the CEO of the company agreed to raise my pay after 6 months and it doesnt seem to be happening. i kinda showed good performance so far, seeing the number of staffs who were ask to go due to performance not met as agreed with the company.during the past few monthly meetings, they have been emphasing that the company is currently in the red zone (negative profit for the year)

what if i m married and husband goes on a long overseas work trip?

2010-06-16T09:46:00.002+08:00

i m not sure if i would be able to be on my own for the next 10 days without my husband around. would i be so dependent with him after i moved out, staying at the new place?my brother was sent to Japan last minute and is on his way there now. guess my sister-in-law will be at home alone for the next week. she couldn't manage to take leave to go over with my brother because it was a last minute

2010-03-29T17:12:00.003+08:00

this week is going to be a short week. not that short tho but still a day of rest with the weekends is what i m sooo looking forward.perhaps this rainy season describes all that i m feeling inside. it makes the surrounding blur during heavy rainy season, wet and inaccessible to places. i feel trapped inside. i rather choose to stay home where i can hibernate in my bedroom.i didnt know why but

the worse is about to begin

2010-02-26T20:51:00.002+08:00

i feel i suck at being an Instructional Designer. I suck at creating courseware esp for SAP context. i suck at handling stress from work. i suck at communicating properly with him. i suck at calming myself whenever i get frustrated. i feel hot and cry easily when someone tells me something about me which i can't do anything about it.things just get even more heated up after one another. WHY???

2009-12-04T09:15:00.010+08:00
