back to school

back to school

i'm starting my classes [again] in April.. if everythin is confirmed, my 1st class will be starin on the 24th of April & the 2nd class would be on the 27th.. i can't wait to go back to school..!

has been hectic at work recently.. it's probably just me, i guess.. to the extent that i dream of work & people at work, i think that's a little too much.. by the way, the painkillers (for my feet) from Raffles Medical works very well.. i think i'll get more from my doctor..

on a personal side, i don't know if what i'm doin is right.. i'm just followin my instincts & my heart..

last week my mind was constantly thinkin of somebody.. it was very bad & it wasn't like as if i wanted to think of that person.. it just happens.. well, no more occurrence so i'm almost certain it was just a phase..

**i love you..!

365 days ago..

365 days ago..

i survived..! i managed to keep myself safe today.. no falls, no broken back, no fractured feet.. hehehehe..~

..& it happened again

..& it happened again

yet another fun & fruitful evening with the s|nGLeS_OuT ladies.. well, as usual meetin up has never been "normal".. the ladies should know what i mean.. hehehe~

on our 2nd anniversary, i can still remember how my sandals came apart just as aYu "fetched" me from work.. i had no choice but to hobble back to O'briens & grab another pair of available shoes.. guess what happened on this year's anniversary.. that's right..! my sandals came apart AGAIN..! i called aYu to rescue me from embarrassment & together we went scourin for somethin for my feet.. notice that it only happens when i meet aYu..? i should probably NOT meet her first the next time..

went down to M.A.C to meet up with s|zzY & told e-BoO that we'll see her there.. while waitin for her, we were makin jokes about how she would turn up at McDonald's instead of M.A.C & obviously we were right..! she called aYu & asked where we were & told us that she was already at McD's.. hehehehe~ that's just so her..

had dinner at Sakura, Far East.. almost walloped the waiter for gettin our orders wrong.. thank goodness the ladies were around or i might have just stormed out from there.. geez.. strolled down to Party World beside Crown Prince Hotel & spent a solid 4 hours singin our lungs out..! at the end of it all, our anniversary was a blast..

love you girls..

**pictures please.. my camera ate the pictures up.. *sigh*

Happy 4th Anniversary To My Special Ladies..!

Happy 4th Anniversary To My Special Ladies..!

WE'RE 4 YEARS YOUNG..! CONGRATULATIONS TO s|nGLeS_OuT..!

waitin with much anxiety to see you ladies later.. it's another one of those rare opportunities that we meet up, hang out & have fun.. don't forget your camera[s] ladies..!

anyway, here's a big welcome to our NEW Servcorp blog.. take a sneak peek into the typical "a day in the life of.." in Servcorp, specially brought to you by us.. hehehehe..

i'm keepin it as simple as possible so that the ladies can blog in their entries easily.. such a coincidence that Servcorp decided to change the colour theme to the same blogskin colour that i chose [blue & orange].. synergy..? hmmm..

*thanks sis for the 1st two-liners.. this is the end product when 2 sisters get bored from a dreaded long cab ride..

bimbotic-ness

bimbotic-ness

you know, i just don't literally get it sometimes.. maybe this is what they call life; full of ups & downs, clear skies & obstacles, expect the unexpected etc.. personally, when times are cool, they are really cool but when things heat up, they just tend to blown out of proportion which leaves a big, gooey, ugly mess in my already-muddled-&-very-messed-up head..

you guys out there.. YES YOU! what i don't get is, why are you guys so freakin fickle?? you say we girls can't make up our minds but HEY listen up, i've got my fair share of knowledge from being around you creatures too long & i jolly well dare to say that you guys are no better than us.. in fact a bunch of you clowns are much, much more pro at this fickle game.. & some of you.. why can't you just let go of the past?? what happened before is now called HISTORY..! don't be such idiots, alright? get over it, MOVE ON.. geez..

sorry for blastin.. just needed to clear my mind..

"it's funny only when it happens to someone else.."

"it's funny only when it happens to someone else.."

the familiar phrase.. the trademark that never failed to irritate me but at the same time makes me smile..

he resurfaced.. he BLOODY well resurfaced after all these months.. but all's good between us now.. i think.. i hope.. i've learnt to let go & tried to pick myself up when he disappeared [again].. the only place i could seek solace & words of advice was from HaiZiR.. thanks bro, for the sound advice.. appreciate that..

anyway, a year ago, on this very day, i remembered how my day was spent.. although it wasn't a day for celebration for us, i enjoyed myself very much & i'm sure he did too.. i recalled how it was such a coincidence that our off day happened to be on the 14th & that we had wanted to go do somethin "artsy" by ourselves.. in the end, we went to the Singapore Philatelic Museum & The Substation to watch short films together..

whatever..

justification..?

justification..?

sometimes it's hard to please everyone especially when EVERYONE is under pressure & they expect SOMETHIN from you all at the same time..

as much as i don't want to appear ungrateful, i might already have.. not that i want to but as i have mentioned above, it's so hard to please everyone.. i don't even know if i have made the right decisions so far.. knowin myself, i'm bound to regret a lot of things..

i don't know how to apologise to a very good friend who, i know, i've hurt so much..
i don't know if i've met the right person or the path that i choose is the one that i REALLY want to follow..
i don't know what's goin on actually..

1st issue - maybe i just didn't like the fact that everybody was assumin that we are a couple but that was like ages ago.. maybe i'm just haunted by it.. up till now, i can't stand it when anyone makes a joke out of this matter.. it just makes me so mad..! somehow, i'm so scarred by it but i don't understand why.. he's helped me so much, he was always there during the FALL period & he hasn't done anythin wrong but i JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T LET THINGS BE AS THEY WERE..?

2nd issue - i'm gettin the cold feet suddenly.. i have no doubts about him because i know what he is really into & it's definitely not GIRLS.. just that sometimes i feel pressurized with the current situation to the extent that i can't even think.. i just wish that he can really, really understand..

gimme a break..

breakin my back..

breakin my back..

i don't wish to whine but it's the truth.. my back hurts..! all the shiftin, pushin & pullin of furnitures yesterday has made me broken..

HaNN got into an accident this mornin.. don't know what to do.. cross my fingers & pray hard that YvoNNe approves of my half-day leave today..

½ of ½ is..?

½ of ½ is..?

i finally threw away the Fossil watch yesterday.. i had kept it thinkin that i would change the strap or somethin but yesterday i took a long look at the watch & decided "heck.. i'll get myself another Fossil.."

yesterday i went to AiN's weddin @ her place in serangoon.. was surprised to see her in the outfit.. she was smaller then i expected..! the decoration was simple but nice.. the colour combination was not really my taste but all in all, it was ok.. had wanted to take pictures with her but there were too many guests so RaJa, HaNN & myself decided to take our leave..

i had initially wanted to go to my relative's weddin @ pasir ris but when i thought of how HaNN would get bored at home by himself, i decided not to & spend the rest of the afternoon with him shoppin.. well, HE was shoppin, not me.. managed to get for himself a pair of jeans & a shirt.. we are, afterall, simple shoppers.. *WiNkZ*

found a pretty black lace top @ bugis.. going to grab that once i get my pay.. speakin of bugis, we went to collect the ring yesterday.. just last friday we went to the jewellers to make the payments & at the same time do a fitting.. i didn't know i had such a small ring-finger.. hehehe˜ so confidently, i asked for a size 10 which, obviously, was too loose so the lady looked at my finger & suggested that i go for a size 8.. unwillingly, i agreed but hey, it fit! i gave the thumbs up & we got the ring..

preparations' still underway.. i've not done any calculations whatsoever but in time to come.. so many things to take note of.. lucky i have iDaDi to help me..

today AuDReY is actin rather STRANGE... must be somethin in the food that she ate this mornin.. SIGH.. [if you see any typo-errors in this entry, must have been AuDReY's fault..]

tense.. & patience

tense.. & patience

i didn't know marriage can be such a pain.. so so many things to do & prepare! GOSH! havin never been there before, it does sound interestin but how does one actually find the space to breathe?

first things first, how do you know that you are ready for it? & when you are, how do you go about doing all the preps & stuffs? some people take a few years to do all these but some get married within a year or 2.. & there's also the objections from some members of the family & hurdles & barriers to go through.. even as i'm readin what i just typed makes me tired..!

but on the other hand, i have to say marriage is a beautiful thing.. no matter how grand or simple the whole affair is, i believe that at the end of the day the happiness of the couple is what's most important..

why am i talkin about this? i don't know.. just felt like it i guess.. tell me, if you were a parent & you have a daughter how much would you ask for a dowry..?

My Hopeful 2007

My Hopeful 2007

HELLO 2007! Happy New Year to everyone..

it has been a very challengin 2006 for me.. from the trails of entries, i'm pretty much sure you know what i'm talkin about.. 365 days ago, i was typin in my entry elsewhere & was in the midst of my exams.. what a way to start 2006.. & then there was the job hunt & the matchmakin plot which didn't work out..

from the reunion of best friends to the reunion of 2 hearts [that never made the headlines..] THE FATAL FALL..! the neverendin quest to get the cast removed.. geez.. the far away friend who filled my nights.. OH! World Cup! let's not forget that..

well, so many things had happened & i don't think i can recall each & every detail.. whatever it is, they have passed & it's time to look forward to a brand new year.. new job, new friends, new colleagues, new sayang..so many new things..!

anyway, i had to bring forward last year's resolutions due to unforseen circumstances [if you know what i mean..]

1 - get myself a job
2 - pay off my bills [not all's paid up though..]
3 - get my driving license [erm.. this year probably..? hehe..]
4 - complete my Diploma course [by this year.. i promise!]
5 - FINALLY find a real guy to settle down with [FOUND!]

on a final note, here's wishin everyone a joyful 2007.. stay away from wet staircases, do not cross the road while SMS-ing & PLEASE avoid breakin any bones.. take it from me, it's no fun at all..

The Apple Tale

The Apple Tale

WARNING! what you are about to read is based on a true incident. all names have been changed to protect the dignity of the shamed man..

hehehehe... nah.. just kiddin.. i'm pretty much over it.. what actually happened was that the apples that i buy for the pantry runs out in matters of minutes & it irks me so much that i had to find out who the culprit was.. when i finally found out who the person was, i got so pissed off with him that i gave him the cold shoulder.. BUT..! being the kind hearted person that i am, i cooled off eventually..

anyway, a late Merry Christmas to all of you out there who celebrated it.. i personally don't celebrate Christmas but this year was a little different.. i attended my very 1st Christmas party organised by my company, a Christmas dinner held by Persequor, a client from our floor & a Christmas lunch, again by my company.. in total, i had 4 Christmas presents.. i received a Nokia 6233 & Nokia 7390 from Persequor alone, a goldplated cuff from YvoNNe & a black purse from my Secret Santa Pal.. nice..

oh.. i have another present from HaNN.. He bought me a pair of shoes.. they are not JUST a pair of shoes but a pair that i eyed on 2 months back & the special thing about it is that he remembered which pair & the colour.. he's such a darling..! must remember to pay him 20 cents or he'll walk away from me.. [erm.. a superstition that AuDReY has nagged to me about.. *SiGh*]

still not pickin up..

still not pickin up..

how contradictin that i am able to write an entry in here when i am actually buried with work.. i just need a short break from this hustle.. too much & overloaded, that's the situation now..

facin selfish people who are just so greedy for money that they can stab you right in your face! despicable..!

i'm havin the Hottdesk re-test today.. as mentioned, information overload.. don't know if i can pull this off..

what went wrong..?

what went wrong..?

i'm feelin down in the dumps.. things don't seem to go right somehow.. i got 78% for my Hottdesk re-test which means that i would have to re-take again.. don't know if i mentioned this before but 1 of the requirements to get a confirmation is to obtain 80% for the Hottdesk.. so near yet so far..

i wish i can spill out my thoughts & feelins but i can't.. i hope it doesn't build up inside..

met iSMaiL yesterday.. wish we could talk more.. it's been such a long time since i sat down & really express myself to a close friend.. i'm happy that he's doin great with his girl..

too much.. can't take it.. i just want to be by myself..

my upsettin Friday..

my upsettin Friday..

it's really upsettin.. i was late for work again & to top it off, MuM & BaBa had to yell at me over the phone just because i left my keys at home & they are not comin back until at least tomorrow.. worst case scenario, they'll only be back on sunday.. i was at my worst behaviour.. i hung up on not only my sister but also on my parents.. totally regret what i did.. i'm contemplatin on gettin a locksmith to open my doors.. i would rather spend that money on the doors than goin back to anybody's place.. as long as i'm not home, i will not be at peace.. pretty f**ked up Friday..

Return of the 60's..!

Return of the 60's..!



that's a bad picture actually.. what do you expect? the picture was taken after the whole thing ended.. hehe..! otherwise, it was a great party.. for those who are clueless about what i'm talkin about.. well, we had a X'mas party last evenin & the theme was Austin Powers [60's].. it was pretty excitin as i've not been to any X'mas parties & yesterday i did have fun with the other Servcorp ladies.. i'm very sure that we took a lot of pictures from the fact that there were a lot of us who went around snappin pictures with each other & some of the clients..

the excitin part about the whole thing is that we get gifts from our managers..! after the whole event was done & we've cleared all glasses & plates, we had our dinner & then TaiNe gave out presents to all of us.. YvoNNe gave AiDa a Guess handbag, AuDReY received a Swarovski Crystal necklace & i got a The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York goldplated cuff bracelet.. thanks YvoNNe..

the one with the flu..

the one with the flu..

finally.. after 4 days of stuffy nose, dry cough, spinnin headaches & terrible stomach cramps i'm [almost] back to my normal self.. it probably started when i was caught in the rain during lunch & on the way home from chua chu kang last friday.. or maybe i got it from the Persequor team.. hhmmm...

anyway, AiDa was on leave on monday & tuesday.. AuDReY's still on leave & i won't see her until next week monday.. it has been terrible..! thank goodness VaNNeSSa & YvoNNe was still around.. i don't know how i would survive without familiar faces on the floor..

did i mention sTeVe's parents are in town? probably not.. well they are & i went to watch the musical last saturday with them.. this saturday, my family & i, we're goin to bring them up to Malaysia for a day trip.. just hope it doesn't rain..

quick update on work:

Smart Office - still waitin for manual..
Call Answerin/Pick-up - as per VaNeSSa's sayin.."DONE-DED!"
Competition Report - submitted..

so now i'm left with my Knowledge Tests results & the Hottdesk re-test [which is today.. oh boy..]

our X'mas party will be on the 5th & i can't wait to see how the others are goin to dress up.. goin shoppin later after work with iDaDi..

i shall tell you of my tragic Apple Tale next time.. *SiGh* VaNeSSa, if you're readin this you should know what i'm referrin to..

simply UNFORGETTABLE..

simply UNFORGETTABLE..




an absolutely marvellous musical i must say.. i'm glad i was able to watch it.. the actors, the props, the music, the lightings.. GOSH! everything about it was amazin..! i was impressed by the lead actor's ability to speak Malay so fluently.. Stephen Rahman-Hughes was Hang Tuah & Tiara Jacquelina played Gusti Puteri.. here's a brief of the play:

A stunning musical – in Singapore for the first time after two highly-acclaimed sell-out seasons in Malaysia – Puteri Gunung Ledang brings to life the legend of an ill-fated romance between a beautiful princess and handsome warrior, set in the kingdom of Majapahit in ancient Java and the Sultanate of Malacca.

In it, Puteri, the princess, dreams of true love. Her brother, Gusti Adipati, the ruler of Majapahit, however, has different concerns. His kingdom is undergoing attack by Demak, a warring state. He enlists the help of the Sultan of Malacca who dispatches to Majapahit an army led by his loyal subject, the warrior Hang Tuah. Puteri and Hang Tuah fall in love and agree to meet on Gunung Ledang in Hang Tuah's homeland, Malacca, after the battle. When the battle drags on, Puteri decides to wait for her beloved on Gunung Ledang. Little does she know that she has been betrothed by her brother to the Sultan of Malacca.

Watch this intriguing story of romance, heroism and tragedy unfold against a dazzling backdrop of breathtaking sets, music and choreography.

Feel the magic of the unforgettable score composed by Dick Lee, with musical direction by Roslan Aziz, Malaysia's magical maestro. At once traditional and modern, the soundscape resonates with gorgeous chorus lines and pulsating rhythms, animated by intricate, spirited choreography. Starring Tiara Jacquelina (Best Actress, 2005's 50th Asia Pacific Film Festival) and Stephen Rahman-Hughes (West End lead actor in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams).

Happy 1st Monthsary..
