Finally..!

Finally..!


it's FRIDAY..! ok wait.. technically it's saturday but heck with it.. haha..! it's "Sleep-In Day"..! i get to wake up late again.. hurray..! hehehehehe~ actually, it's not the sleep-in thingy that i was cheerin about.. friday's the last day for us to finish up with the preparation for our 1st official workin day on the 28th.. yes FINALLY..! hopefully no more stayin in to finish up with the prep because everythin is [almost] ready for operations..

it has been a hectic week & my back's payin a price for it.. no more runnin around Raffles Place for last minute shoppin for the office like a mad woman on the loose, no more repeated trips to the bank to cash out money & scurryin back to the office.. & best of all, no more interrupted & postponed lunches..! i can now have lunch dates with SaVaNNah & the rest of the ladies or find a cool spot & do some readin without havin to run last-minute errands that take ages to complete..

anyway, i have firmly decided.. i shall cut my hair whether you guys like it or not.. what kind of style, i can't describe but you'll be sure to see it at some point.. hehe~

Happy 1st Anniversary

Happy 1st Anniversary


yes.. a good 1st anniversary of singlehood.. i never knew i would experience such a thing & really didn't expect that this will happen to me but i'm thankful though.. a whole year of thought-sortin, soul-searchin & self-review.. it's like takin a vacation from work..

as i quote from my MSN, "Grey Skies Don't Matter No More.. In Fact, Nothin Else Matters.." nothin really matters to me now.. [erm.. well.. not EVERYTHING though..] everyday is almost routine-like & the typical me is not the sort who digs routines but because i don't [really] care, it seems like an "ok" thing now..

i leave you now with an impromtu picture of some of my colleagues..

[clockwise from bottom left] JoaNNa, AuDReY, mE & SaVaNNaH..

please take a note

please take a note


FYI.. i'm in one of my swings again.. just keep a distance from me for the next couple of days.. i need to find myself.. for some reason, the rational part of me is in a daze..

i'm not sayin to COMPLETELY AVOID me, just KEEP A DISTANCE.. mind you, there is a difference.. i'm not im my best of moods..

Prudential Tower

Prudential Tower


i'm so sorry but i had to delete the previous entry.. my entire life is at stake..! well, ok not the entire life but still it concerns my future so i think deletin it was the best way to deal with it.. to those who've read it, forget what you have read & for those who didn't get a chance to read it, tough luck.. hehe~

anyway, 1st day at Prudential Tower wasn't that bad after all.. i have to admit it, i kind of like the place.. my very own desk, my very own space, my very own email address & most importantly, my very own extention..! cool..! hehe..

time passed so fast.. left Battery Road at 8.50 a.m & reached Prudential Tower at 9 a.m.. the office is a little confusin but after time i'm sure i'll get used to the floor.. we played around with the cool digital IP phones, the new PCs & i got a chance to have a "bondin session" with the uber-cool pantry.. my little play-space.. hehe~

what felt like an hour was actually 4 hours..! didn't notice it was already 1 p.m & none of us had gone for lunch.. i decided to go at 2.30 p.m & i came back at about 3.15 p.m & continued helpin out the new Auntie with the pantry stuffs.. we worked some more & then i realised it was already 6.30 p.m & we were all still in the office..! remembered i had an appointment with the insurance guy & quickly rushed over to Burger King @ OUB.. finally reached home at 9 p.m & amazingly i'm not as tired as i was normally..

well that's all i wanted to share for today.. lookin forward for tomorrow.. *WiNkZ*

no matter what..

no matter what..


wednesday.. 3rd week.. WOW.. by the end of next week, i have worked there for a month already.. time passes so fast.. i didn't realise it was that quick..

had tea [& coffee & cheesecake] at the new Coffee Bean @ Millenia Walk.. a different ambience compared to other outlets that i've seen & visited although i have to admit it was pretty cold.. well, partly myself to blame.. was wearin skirt today instead of pants suit.. anyway, loved the way the guy reacted when i ordered my usual Peppermint Vanilla tea.. hehe~ he thought i wanted a tea latte at first & when i said it wasn't tea latte, he panicked & called out for his manager.. caught his name in the process & guess what..? his name's FaiZaL.. hehe~ back to the story, i tried my best to explain what Peppermint Vanilla was but he really didn't get what i mean & finally after a few minutes of exchangin confused looks & uncontrollable fits of giggles [by yours truly..], he got what i meant BUT they ran out of Vanilla.. darn it..!

would like to chill out over at that outlet again one of these days.. it's a really cool [& cold] place.. love the songs they were playin too.. aight.. goin off now.. need some shut eye.. really, really tired..

the belated b'day dinner

the belated b'day dinner


i know this is VERY, VERY late but here's wishin GreGGy a Happy Belated Old-Day.. hehe~ well, planned a birthday dinner for him @ Swensen's yesterday & glad it went ok..



yes i know i look like a monkey, grinnin from ear to ear.. but i can't help it.. i was laughin when they took that picture.. notice anythin PINK..? anyway, the four of us [GreGGy, sTeVe, aLeXiS & myself] had a semi-ridiculous amount of food.. SEMI-RIDICULOUS.. we didn't reach that uber-ridiculousness level.. *SiGh* somethin IS wrong somewhere..

i'm goin to go do my checklists now.. until later..

saturday night & here i am..

saturday night & here i am..


i had the best sleep ever yesterday.. reached home at around 7 pm & fell asleep all the way until 2.30 am in the mornin..! had a quick call from FiE & continued sleepin from 4.30 all the way until noon.. hehe~ cool eh..? well, somebody's just jealous.. huh..!

anyway, stayed home for most part of the day & iDaDi came over to get some stuffs off the laptop.. had a last minute invite for dinner @ Komala's, Little India from GreGGy & sTeVe.. thank you so much GreGGy for not tellin me that you invited your co-workers along for dinner.. jeez..! we were suppose to meet at 7 & it got pushed to 7.30 & well, i decided that 8 would be a good time given the fact that iDaDi was still usin the laptop.. if i knew that their co-workers were there i wouldn't have delayed the time.. so basically, it's all GreGGy's fault [as usual].. hehe..~ i didn't know i was hungry.. maybe i wasn't hungry.. maybe i got influenced to order another set.. i don't know.. hehe~ i had Poori at first & those 2 silly Canadians had the Dosai.. then GreGGy ordered a set of Bhatura for himself & a set of Poori for sTeVe.. so upon seein that, my appetite grew & i decided to order a set of Bhatura for myself.. hehe~ yes, i was full.. well, it was followed by coffee at TCC.. now that made me really full..!

ok, enough about food.. i want to put up the pictures that is still pendin here but i'm just too lazy i guess.. oh well.. will update soon..

4th August 2006, Friday

finally..! TGIF..! i survived a week of work.. hehe~ btw, just a side note, i didn't proof-read my entries so i might have left a word or two out..

one thing's for sure, i'm goin to "pay back" for my lack of sleep tomorrow.. i hope my parents won't scream at me for wakin up late tomorrow.. hehe~ i didn't know workin in the CBD area could be so tirin but hey, it's worth it.. no wonder they are payin me that much.. the work load is not that bad but the fact that i'm on my feet most of the time, runnin in & out of the offices & i have to work on both the 30th & 31st floor, it makes my work load seems a lot.. heard the new staff is joinin us on the 14th.. hopefully when she comes in, my work is reduced a little so that i can concentrate on my trainin..

2nd August 2006, Wednesday

Happy Humpday..! it's wednesday everyone.. middle of the week which basically means there's 2 days left till the weekend..!

had my 1st formal meetin just now @ 6pm.. wow..! i felt completely out of place.. the ladies were talkin about things that i don't know about.. you know, the usual office scandals, politics & such.. amongst all, i like AuDReY the most.. she's approachable & funny.. every single thing that i say seems to be cute to her for some reason..! jeez..! quit that..! & yeah, today everyone was dressed in their best.. coincidence.. like JoaNNa had a pair of new shoes, HaJeRaH was wearin a new top, i was wearin a new suit & someone had a haircut.. anyway, the agenda of the meetin was with regards to the company's version 2 & soon-to-be updated website.. wasn't payin much attention to it because i was just too tired but what woke me up from my "subconscious" state was when i heard that they were goin to train us on the navigations of the site.. i'm pretty sure it's goin to be interestin..

i like workin there.. i like the fact that there is always somethin to do & there's no one breathin down my neck.. 3 days & already i've learn quite a number of things.. just a slight discomfort that i encounter is that everyone treats me like a "little lady".. that's how they like to put it as.. there's no one there who i can talk to comfortably.. there's this aura of seniority [& i'm talkin about the age gap between them & me] around each of them every time i try to strike a conversation.. in time, they will realise that they have used the wrong approach but all in all, i'm just glad that they are nice people.. did i mention that my feet is takin a toll from work..? it's all plastered now with blister pads & band-aids.. not to mention the effects of work on me AFTER office hours.. funny how my body knows that i've reached home because everyday without fail, after i've taken my shoes off & sit on my bed, the whole system just crashes..! that's when my eyes start to droop & my legs start to ache & my body just "dies" on me.. oh well.. that's me now.. hehehe..~

28th July 2006, Friday

today was "Tannin Good Times" @ Sentosa.. was a last minute plan actually.. went there with FiE, s|zZy & FFiZ.. throughly enjoyed myself as that was the first time in so many months that i was able to do somethin that i really enjoyed doin.. had breakfast at the interchange & then headed to Habourfront to get some stuffs from the supermarket.. we boarded the bus & we were off to the beach.. we went to Siloso, found a spot & got ready to splash.. unfortunately, the spot we got was "contaminated" with oil due to some spillage but that didn't deter us from enjoyin ourselves.. found another spot but it was a slightly more borin but we made the best of it.. i took lots of pictures but realised [when i got home] that they were all in small size.. sheesh..! it's ok.. there's always a next time..

had about 2 & a half hours of tannin.. NOT ENOUGH..! but like i said, next time.. love my skin now.. the result's as close to what i wanted.. had dinner @ the interchange.. FiE, s|zZy & me had Mee Soto & i think FFiZ had Fried Noodles or somethin & the silly name thing just had to occur.. hehehehehe~ sorry FiE.. they accompanied me on a quick shoppin trip for my work stuff.. got myself a pair of pants & another jacket.. ESPRIT mind you..! [it was a good deal, goin for 1/2 price.. how can i resist..?]

26th July 2006, Wednesday

i would like to share my happiness with everyone who is readin this.. i've got a job & if everythin goes well, i plan to make it my career.. i'm so exhilarated that i still can't believe that i've landed myself this job.. the position i'm holdin [or soon to be holdin] is not as glamourous as what some of my friends hold but i can assure you that if you happen to bump into me after office hours in an outfit you thought you'd never see me in, don't be alarmed.. hehe..

FiE's right.. i need to do major re-works to my wadrobe & i need a filled cabinet of new shoes.. he left the handbags part out but i think that's not important for now.. i'll be startin on the 31st & i really hope that everythin will run smoothly.. you can never know what can happen.. never really have worked in this line before, i will have to adapt to a very different environment & very different workin attitude.. i'm just afraid my dorkiness will be revealed on the first day of work but dorky or not, you guys will find out when i write an entry about it.. high tea anyone..? *WiNkZ*

hopefully with this new job, things will take a turn for the best.. no more cold wars, no more sarcasm being thrown about, no more conflicts.. finally, one of few wishes fulfilled..
