Happy 26th, Fiona =)

Yoo Hoo... i am dedicating this post to the birthday gal, Fiona!


just read from her post that passing DE mid-20s is kinda scarly... Totally Agree!!! that's why this year i didnt really celebrate much, except for the usual cake-cutting with my dear bro for the past 13 yrs (yes, he's another reason to remind me that i am growing old while he turns from a baby boy to a teenage now, boo!)... in fact when i recall back about half a year back, it was kinda depressing in fact... it's like a qtr of your life has officially past, so what's on the report card (career-wise, financially, love life, family, personal growth...etc) ?


However, much being said about passing the mid-20s, my scary age is actually 28, though i know after that it will definately be the big 3-zero...duh! imagine every criterias that i stated above to measure how much i have achieved is still neither here nor there when i am 28...Absolutely a Nightmare!


Anyway, back to FIONA! We went karaoke again this year... on the 17th July, few days before the actual day...

i "stole" this picture from her post. heheh...

your birthday what, of coz you get to appear first =p

All the gals from TWM (previously & some present)

shall say something silly now... haha... twm, not too bad lar..if not we all wont have met each other leh... ha~

me, jeanie, julie, joanne, qiao ting, may, fiona

Fiona and me

Me and Baby

As usual, he has to do something silly... bleh

(but i was also trying to be funny in this pic with my tongue stuck out, but blocked by his victory sign..hee)

End Note:

was tiring tiring... coz we again went on a work day and the next day is also a work day... but luckily for me, the 2 interviews that i sup to have on that day was postponed and rescheduled last minute, so i could join the gals right from the start...

was telling fiona the next day we shd try get together more often to chill..instead of having to wait for someone's bdae... keke

Anyway, hope that what i asked you to wish on that day come true for everyone ya!!! pay rise and bonus alot alot.. and promotions too! hee!

and on top of that, i am just praying for everyone that aside from all these monetory and material stuff, deep down inside, we'll all be really happy and contented and all those horrible feelings we get every now and then will all go away and be far from us!

(btw, fiona, can i borrow the book from you to take a look...the one u mentioned in ur much earlier post, i think?)

Some "Funnies" during the session:

- few gals were not aware that there were 2 couples present instead of just 1... so when they found out, it was quite funny, and the "interview" sessions were held there instead... haha

- J & J spent 20 bucks on just light snacks for dinner and they were eating thru out non stop lor... how come can eat so much and still so slim... *jealous*

- someone pressed the "clap" button (and also the adjusting of pitch/tone) again in middle of a song, and before that, i was just suan-ing the bdae gal about it coz she did that last yr during her bdae also

- bdae gal version of "爱过来" when me and Jeanie want sing "爱来过"

- baby and J version of "千里之外"... actually is baby being funny, impersonating his fav fei yu qing.. J was just the victim being forced to sing some song again... hee

- baby's impersonation of someone else's singing.. which wsas quite hilarious actually

Randoms:

past week has been hectic as usual, but work wise, i am getting more in control and a better grip on myself on what's really happening... but cant say the same for some things else... i just hope i can learn to not always "zuan niu jiao jian" and end up magnifying the problem when looking and analysing things in such detailed manner that i forgot the goodness in it.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

received GOOD NEW from baby though... and i am really very very happy for him =)

My Precious

Marco with his toy

my new cushion for work. decided to get one awhile back coz i have been having backaches... but went to a few precious thots outlet and they dun have it anymore... just when it's already off my mind...i saw this again and bought it on the spot...

and also this... when i change to a bigger table in a week's time, i would have space to place this on my table. right now, is still in my drawer...

thought of the day/week/month:

escaping from work? or working to escape?

From Long Long Time Ago

title says it all... think this was about a month back... me with my lunchie khakis...





anyway just some updates about where i "disappear" to recently... as usual, is still work... haha... but busy is good, ya? frankly speaking, is energy draining but consolation is, i do feel motivated and the satisfaction is there... and... keeping my fingers crossed that my effort will pay off =)

~18 July 2008~
today went see doc to get the mthly med supply for my face allergy.so i sent baby to work..hee.. think my monthly med bills total up more than i spent on food (ok, that's abit 夸张but still, is really alot lor. and i am talking about hundreds per mth). was telling her that i keep feeling giddy, tired...etc... checked bp, but she say is norm... then she check my weight... coz she claim can see my bones poking out liao at my shoulder all tat... dropped 3.5kg since last mth..43kg - the lightest i have been in my entire life lor...of coz not comparing childhood...but i told her her scale give ppl false hope coz there is a deviation abt 0.5kg from my scale...ha! but since she is comparin the same scale result... the drop shd be the same...



Anyway... i am still looking for a mkt exec... how come so difficult to find one when there are so many applications coming in??? can the right one quickly come along and spare me more late nites of staying back to interview... diploma, degree holders, fresh grads... all are welcome... i would say overall package is quite ok here... ha!



Also, another dept looking for 9-mths contract staff... assist in administrative work, have to b gd with words, excel...etc. after the contract period, though no guarantee of converting to full time staff, but if performance is gd and there is position avail (even back at HQ or other SBUs)...we'll highly recommend... hee

I'm Married!!!

to my work, that is...

this blog has become dormant... as well as my social life, what ever is left of it...

insomia is back to haunt me, not that i can sleep real soundly on other usual, not-so-stress days but this period of time is getting real bad...my mind remains super active even as i lay on my bed at 2, 3am with my eyes wide open... (and nope, i haven been drinking coffee at all).. for the past 2 to 3 weeks, 4 hours on average is what i get for eye shut, and that's including the tossing and turning when i woke up thru out...


and with that lack of rest, plus huge jump in stress level, i am losing appetite and weight... emails become such an integral part of my waking hours that after clearing them and sending more out in office, i return home to continue that process... so much so when i told baby i going to just online and surf net tonight ... he say if i on my lappie, i sure check emails :s


but i managed not too!! ha~


i just read somewhere on the net that now, with an increase of 5% in salary, a person will actually be suffering from a pay cut!!!

that's coz the inflation rate is in fact much higher... although i dont drive, but petrol aint the only thing of which price keep increasing... therefore, tell me who is not feeling the pinch at all?

let alone when they is no increment in this inflation period so to speak... sigh...


Gucci wait for me!!!


thought of something funny at this point about Gucci! i was seiving thru the recruitments paper on sat to look at the ad from my co. for a mktg exec (yes, another mgr is leaving again in my dept...and she's not even gone yet, workload is already increasing) i came across this ad by Gucci, which states the position, buyer. therefore i turned to baby and showed him that and asked him to apply so that i can enjoy staff disc perks (although is totally irrelevant as he will not meet the criterias anyway)

at this point... he said :" u asking me to be a buyer for Gucci company or to buy Gucci for you?"

Heheheh... *Big Grin*



anyway, speaking of social life... i did managed to go karaoking twice within this span of non blogging period... with colleagues and just last weekend with baby. heh... will upload some back dated pictures of my satc bk and also some photos soon... i hope.
