ConFiRmaTioN

finally got my confirmation letter today. finally, cuz the colleague who joined on the same day as me, got hers last wk. so i was actually kidda worried, wondering how come they cfm her le, but not me. but as wad most other colleagues told me, it's merely a delay on the hr side. i knew i cant be tt lousy till they dont wanna cfm me rite?? hahaha... ok, sorry.. im bhb~

*

anyway, march will be a crucial mth and whether im confirmed or not, plays a big role. hiak hiak hiak. basically bonus will be in march.. and now tt im cfm, im looking 4ward. :)

*

there was another guy who joined with us on the same day. but that guy quitted le. abt end of jan he tendered. his resignation made me think quite alot. was wondering if i should juz follow his footsteps and find a greener pasture elsewhere. anw, this is juz my 1st job. cant expect me to stay on 4eva ba? this job is really simple if there are no cases... but it can really be a headache if there are cases to follow-up. at times, i really feel like giving up. felt so helpless and so depressed. but then i also know, every where else, it will be the same. there will always be something tt i will be unhappy about. every job has its difficulties and challenges. juz how we wanna take it..

*

so at the mmt, i will juz sit ard and wait. wait till the day i really really cannot take it le, then consider the next move ba. i know i should be positive and i will. 1/2 yr passed juz like tt. it wouldnt be too long b4 2 years is up, then i can be eligible for internal transfer rite? lol~

LeisUrE PaRk @ KallanG

singapore's a really boring place... if there's no specific errands to run, then there's really no interesting place where we can juz go out to walk walk...okok, hubb will say there is the zoo, the birdpark, the crocodile farm and the blah blah blah.................. but then... hehee... sorry hubb, really no interest ne... :p..

*

and so, ytd, hubb and me went to this new shopping centre @ kallang. saw the ad on the trains... this new mall at kallang.. tot we'll go there and explore. i tot the mall's rite beside kallang mrt, like most other shopping centres, but actually it's not. still gotta take a bus and abt a few bus-stops away, near the stadium. if i knew it's so inconvenient, i wouldnt have gone there le.. so out of the place.. i wonder y they build it there. o, or maybe i know y.. cuz apparently, there will be a new mrt station "stadium".. and i think in future, mrt will link us to the stadium, hence a mall was built there. yupp.

*

quite a big mall, but nothing much as many of the shops r still vacant. got bowling alleys, super big k-box, a donut shop, kou-fu foodcourt, restauarants... nothing special, as like all other malls. had dinner there and sat in the foodcourt eating and chatting for abt 1 hr. then went to watch this guy selling magic tricks, performed magic. beside his stall was another guy providing potraits services. and we stood there for 1 hr watching magic tricks and the guy's drawing. haa... always wanted to have our potraits drawn, but it's always expensive. ytd tt guy will draw at $20/head. which means if hubb and i were to be in the drawing together and each of us have 1 copy, it will be equal to 2 heads x $20 per head x 2 copies = $80. and then if we want him to spray the protective layer, it will be additional $10 per drawing. hence, it will cost us $100 to have the both of us drawn. woo.. not worth it ba.....

*

there was this couple who had their children drawn. each had one drawn so it's $60. quite rich huh...

*

in tt sense, the artiste can earn quite abit rite... assuming he'll need 15mins to draw 1 person. so $30/15mins = $2/min. one day he'll juz need to draw 2 persons and he'll earn more than wad i used to earn as a part-timer per day. wahhh... not bad xia.. maybe i should take up drawing as well. lol

*

then juz as we exit the mall, we heard a super fast engine sound of cars. nearby there were rally cars running on the tracks. maybe rehersals or test drives.. running at super fast speeds.. and so the 2 of us stood there watching again. haa..

*

ok, and tt summed up my sat. quite interesting, at least we went to a new place, rite?

*

sunday was spent at home snoozing away. shiok!

*

tmr's monday again.. blue.. blue... BLUEEEEeEEEEEeEEEE ~~~

*

DyiNg

im so dead stress at work. im suffering frm depression everyday. wad is wrong man? my xin1 li3 really BU4 PING2 HENG2..............................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*

y issit pple can easily throw their shit away and happily hit target everyday? y issit me who always have to help pple clear their shit when i have my own shit to clear? the downstairs push to the upstairs then the upstairs will throw to the middle stairs which unfortunately where im. be it my own shit or other pples' shit, i have to clear. c'mon lorr.

*

in a positive manner, i should see it as greater responsibility and greater advacement. but in a negative manner, it's simply KIO-ING SAI. wad do they want? im not a super woman can??! i have to hit targets everyday, i have to clear my own cases and now... even if it's not my case, i also have to handle??! in fact the few cases on hand, some were not even my biz! i cant help but really feel imbalance.

*

i know i should be positive and be helpful and not be so selfish. but.... they cant expect me to do this and do tt rite??? i don know wad to say anymore. i also know wadever i say, it's not gonna change the situation. im juz a newbie lehh.. up till now, they still dont wanna cfm me, so y ask me to do so many things?? i really feel so helpless. i cant say no to the higher levels... in the end, i have to solve everything on my own and there r juz so many things to clear. y?

*

im really really tired... i really don know how long i can hold it until i go bonkers.

*

i know it's childish to say "it's juz so unfair"... but then........

*

IT'S JUST SO F***ING UNFAIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

VaLenTinEs' DaY 2008

happy vday to all and happy friendship day to all ~

*

actually to me, v day is nothing v special. juz a day for the merchants to dock pple as much as they could. to me, no day is especially special lei.. everyday is the same and every year also will have the same days.. so .. y bother so much? im juz not romantic i guess.. or maybe.. im simply practical. am i a gal or wad???

*

was walking on the street when overheard a vendor selling the stalks of roses at $20/stalk. is this mad or wad?

*

anyway, im juz so glad hubb bought me something useful this year. finally no soft toys and no bouquet of flowers. though it's not something tt im in need of, but at least i can use it, unlike wad he used to buy me. but i will still prefer he buys me something i need and i want. i mean, it's a win-win situation rite? the money is well-spent and i like the gifts. unlike he any o how buy and i do not like. it'll be a lose-lose situation. he wasted his money and i gained something tt i dont like. see?? so peepz... if u r buying things for me, pls ask me wad i want or juz gimme ang bow... together, we will make it a win-win situation! wahahahhahaahha

*

anyway... he bought me these..

*

*pyjamas inside. at least i can wear :)*

*was shopping at tangs when came across this couch and tt boy insisted i sit on it and take a pic.. malu.. *

*

went to this thai restaurant at far east for lunch. then went to kbox for ktv. really kenna docked. anyway, they had this v-day package and the drinks they provided were diff frm the usual. this guy came in with many test tubes of liquids. then told us to choose any 3 and can mix and drink. got alcohol, juices and softdrinks.

*

*us and our 3 choices*


*our concoctions*

*cheerz*

*

i cant remember wad were in my drink. i remembered choosing whiskey and i think is green tea and one other don-know-wad. anyway, i felt really hot after drinking. i knew i will flush whenever i drink. i don knw if it's 心理作用 or wad.. but i do feel a little blur after tt. i mean i can still think and i can even do multiplication table.. but the feeling is juz weird lorr.. like head v heavy like tt. hahaha.. maybe im juz tired lar. how could i be drunk?? cant be tt lousy rite?? anyway, i've always wanted to find out how well i can hold my liquour. i tot of buying many cans of beer and drink at home and see how many cans can i down b4 i collapse. but the hangover... it's gonna be terrible. wait till i have the courage then do the experiment ba.. hahaha.. mad..

*

after ktv went clarke quay with the boy. now then i realised there are so many restaurants at clarke quay. it's definitely not one of my hangout place.. really seldom go there.. anyway, i discovered how sua-ku im.. always eating at the same places.. so many other places yet to explore!

*

we settled at haggen daz....

*

*
im always a chocolate person.. but don know y recently, i will choose strawberry flavour over choco. weird. anyway, it's really yummy.. but really ex also.... $30+ for these 2 "dishes"... hmm... say im cheapo i don care.
*

and tt's my pyajamas. hahahahaha :)

CNY 2008

alrite... and so, cny's coming to an end.. gotta go back to work tmr le. luckily this yr joined with the wkend, else ytd alr started work le. mm... as usual, there's always this sian feeling when something tt i've been looking forward to is over and life's gotta go back to normal again. i know time must go on and gd or bad, it will past. but, it's juz sian lor.

*

basically nothing much to look forward to le. next up will be v-day, little niece's full mth celebration, cousin's wedding and hopefully bonus in march. hopefully cuz they can choose to extend my probation period and tt will make me ineligible for the bonus as im not a confirmed staff. hope they wont be so mean baaa....
*
ok, back to cny.. on new year eve, we off work at 1pm. then went home and took a nap. was supposed to do some last min spring cleaning, but.... really tired and dozed off while watching tv. woke up at dinnertime and had reunion dinner at home. after tt stayed home and packed my room. been a long time since i went no where during cny eve. past few years also went out.. but this year decided to stay behind and tidy my room. if i dont do it now, i know i'll never do it anywhere near in the future. haha... and so, i did the counting down at home. or in fact, alone. pa and ma went to the temple while bro was already asleep as he still gotta work the next day. was helping mum to mop the floor when 12 o clock stroke. ahahha.. my cny eve.... quite special ba?
*
chu yi as usual, pa's side family will come over to my house then together, we'll go over to their house to have reunion lunch (steamboat). i simply love the steamboat every year. always will eat alot during this steamboat session. im thinking of buying a steamboat myself and as and when i like, i shall juz have steamboat at home. hiak hiak.. some pics...

*

actually im not tt close with my maternal side cousins. maybe due to age gap? or maybe cuz we really only see each other once a yr? and cousin mich.... choose to come soo late and leave early lorr.. left me alone. boohoo... and so, i went to gamble with the adults. hahaha.. and.... i won 3 fold! started off with $10 and i ended up with $40. some luck huh.
