HaPpy BirThDaY PaPa

it's papa's bday! went to din-tai-fung @ paragon to celebrate. hmm.. it was my suggestion to go there, but apparently, it was not a right choice. the choices of food are really limited. basically only la-mian, fried rice, xiaolongbao. tt's abt all. rather disappointed. though the food was not bad, i guess pa and ma would have preferred somewhere else with a wider range of food choices... but at least we tried ya. my 1st time visit. :)

18 march, tues, met up with uni's B&F gang. went to this jap restaurant in raffles city. the name is "shokudo"... basically it's aliken marche.. b4 u enter they will issue u a card then watever u ordered will be charged to the card and u juz pay when exit. but it's mainly jap food. interesting. and..... i guess.... true frens are pple whom u do not have to hide ur true self, whom u do not have to be careful with your words, whom u can juz say and do wad u like, whom u do not have to worry abt looking/appearing stupid, whom u do not have to be self-conscious. it's great meeting with u guys. do meet up often okay?!

*

and.. one last thing.. on thurs, a female colleague was playfully hitting me on my thigh and the 1st reaction she gave after touching me was "哇! 为什么你这样滑的?".. then she went to touch another female colleague who was beside us and the next thing she said was "hmm, apple 比较滑".........................wahahha... though wad she said was a little 变态.... but......

*

*暗爽*

*

k, go ahead and puke, for all i care.

*

it's still *暗爽* for me. :P

*

hehhehe

ReJecTiOns

it's sunday again.. a rainy one as that.. mm.. i guess i really prefer sunny days than rainy days... those few days when it kept raining and the temp was extraordinarily low, i had a bad time in office. so blurdy cold till i had to put on 2 jackets. no joke. i really hate it when it's cold. terrible. even tot of wearing gloves... not exaggerating k.. there is really such a need.. brrrrrrr........

*

ok, m here to complain abt work again. sometimes, i really don know how to put across rejection to pple. whenever i have to reject pple, i'll get so stress and worried. worried they'll get angry, worried they'll scold me, worried they'll quarrel with me, worried this, worried that. but yet every now and then, i will come across situations where i have to reject them and get them to pay up. it's soooo tough...

*

i mean, it's not my decision to reject them. im juz a middleman, conveying to them the mgmt's decision. but sometimes, i really do not know how to break the news and how to make them pay. u mite think it's simple: juz tell them it's the mgmt's decision, and there's nothing u can do. the best thing is when they request to spk to mgmt, then u can juz pass everything to the mgmt to settle................. but..... issit always the case?

*

i had passed many cases to the mgmt... till now i also paisay liao. it looks as if im unable to settle issues myself. felt so lousy. i look at other colleagues, apparently they do not need as much help as i do. y do i find it soo difficult??

*

knew of a case of my colleague's. same nature. but she managed to get the customer to bear half the costs.. i wonder how she did it. y they can, but i cant ne? y do i always get soo worried?? JUST TELL THEM THEIR REQUESTS CANNOT BE DONE AND GET THEM TO PAY!!! SO SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! ............but yet i cant...

*

haiii.. how huh?? if a job always have things for you which you find soo difficult to do, issit time to re-consider?

*

but, do i have the courage to "re-consider"? i'm juz so weeeeaaaaakkkkk :(

*

anyway, ytd took pa, ma and soh-soh to eat at tian jin lou @ chinatown.... u know.. the restauarant which thomas ong endorsed?? i will say, it's not worth eating there. b4 we ordered, we asked the waiter how many pple does the fried rice and the fried noodle served. the waiter said 2-3 person. but when the food came, it's only 1 small plate lorr! even 1 person can finish lorr. and it's soo darn expensive. the food all came in small portion but the price is woowahh.. seriously i will not go to tt place again. and the food, also so-so only. not worth it at all!

LiFe ...

im supposed to be sleeping by now.

*

supposed to OT today, but suffering frm terrible headache and since target alr hit for the day, dont see the motivation to stay.

*

my colleague was rite. at 1st i dont feel it, but as time goes by, my eyes r really tired frm staring at the computer the whole day. the system which we work on everyday uses such small fonts.. it's really terrible. by the end of the day, head pain, eye pain, back pain...

*

and... i can feel the layer of fat slowing building at my abdomen. not as if there wasnt any at all b4... but... it's GROWING.

*

i can feel it now... it's juz so unhealthy. and i can imagine how it grew. it's juz like traffic light. if the traffic is not smooth, slowly the cars will start to jam.

*

everyday after lunch juz sit down there ... can juz imagine how all the food get stuck in the stomach area.... not able to dis-integrate.. not able to "flow" out of the body. slowly, it'll become layers of stubborn fat ........ OMG!

*

so, am i supposed to stand after lunch everyday?? maybe i should put my computer and keyboard on a much higher platform so i can juz stand and work.

*

tt is of cuz, w/o the bosses thinking im trying to be funny.

*

o well.

*

o and sometimes, it's juz so funny how things work. when u badly wanna something, u will not get it. and when u decided to forget it and juz let it be, it will come to you. hmmm.....

*

ironies.

:)

received the letter today. i will say, it's better than wad i expect and anticipate.

*

now, there's more motivation at work. now, there's a better reason y i should stay in my job.

*

i know i should be contented. but somehow, man r juz greedy. when u have 1, u will wish for 2. when u have 2, u will wish for 3. there's juz no ending.

*

but deep down in my heart, i know im actually contented. there's really nothing more to ask for. im juz glad and really thankful.

*

a pat on my shoulder. jiayou, huiping :)

HaPpY BirThDaY BloGGiEe !!

hey! it's my blog's 1st birthday! wooohoo!!! happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to bloggie, happy birthday to ........... You!!!

*

heheh... one yr passes juz like tt.. went back to read some of the entries.. so many things, like happened only yesterday. glad to have this blog, to leave down 有的没有的 happenings.. to allow me to remember things which i doubt i will remember if w/o the existence of this blog.

*

will continue to keep this blog alive. will continue to post 有的没有的 things here. jiayou!

GO GO JaPaN !

i really don know how to make time pass slower. i mean, during wkdays, it's a gd thing tt time passes so fast, but during wkends, can it juz be a little slower??? this morning woke up, went tuition. came back frm tuition watched tv. by the time i finished the sat-must-watch 综艺大哥大, it's already 3pm. then took a nap and woke up at 6pm+. now it's 7.30pm le. after tt watch some tv, and it'll be time to sleep. and, a day passed.... juz like tt. i mean... it's really too fast le la. tmr sunday, then will be 5 more slogging days again. ahhhhhhhhhhhh... 好怕人ah!!!

*

anyway, i'll be going japan in april!! wahahh~ actually like wad i mentioned in earlier posts, one of the things i wish to accomplish this year is to travel to japan. but i did not expect the trip to be as early as april! i was looking more at 2nd half of the yr, maybe after july or yr end. but now, it's next mth!

*

started off with cousin mich smsing me, telling me her family is planning for a jap trip and asking if me and my family wanna join. at tt pt of time i was thinking 'aiyoh, cannot make it la'.. cuz like wad i said, i wasnt planning to go on a trip so soon, and ma has to help look after tricia as sis will be back to work in early april.

*

and then, within a wk, when i was outside, suddenly received a call frm dad asking if i wanna go for the trip. i was rather stunned in fact. cuz apparently, dad doesnt really like to travel. he's the '家里最舒服' kind of pple. i don know if tt's true, but frm wad i understand, travelling is not my dad's cup of tea but this time round, he actually called and ask me if i wanna go... so i was really quite surprised. i think he kenna stress too much by my mum le la. bobian, must go. haha.. anyway, since he also enthu to go le, how can i not be enthu then?!

*

and then within a few days, the trip was confirmed and booked le. yeah!

*

initially there were some hiccups with the leave application de, cuz the dates tt i wanna apply clashes with my colleague's and she already booked way ahead. so by rite, if the mgmt insists, i cannot apply de. but lucky they gave in abit and i get to apply. hehehe ~~ heng ar!

*

and so, i'll be going to japan frm 11april - 17april! yohoo! i would really love to go on 9days.. but ah pa doesnt want 9 days ne.. he said it's too long... o well..

*

it's been like don-know-how-many-years since i went on a trip with mich and her family le. the last time we went was when me and mich were still in sec sch? that time was to genting. 2x we went, issit? i have photos with me. will go search and do a time capsule. hahahah...

*

ok, im looking forward, but many uncertainties too. 7 of us, 4 adults and 3 youngsters. I guess there will be alot of accomodating to do. afterall, there can be quite big differences in the needs of adults and youngsters. opps, am i being bhb for not catergorizing myself as 'adult' but 'youngster'???

*

the itinery.. really super pack. actually if i can choose, i will prefer F&E though F&E mite not bring me to as many places, but at least own-time-own-target and no need to accmodate any other pple unlike travelling with a tour grp. i look at the iti i already tired le. one day to 3, 4 places.. can imagine how rush and how hectic it'll be. i hope pa and ma can take it. esp ma...

*

chk online and it seems like april is the best time to go japan. not too cold, not too hot. abt 17 or 18 degrees. best time to see sakura as well :)

*

it's time to chk out my clothings. im scare of cold. sometimes in office i also need to wear 2 sweaters.. i think i better bring more warm clothings.

*

and sorry hubby. study hard for your exams ok. promise to buy many things for you. promise to go on another trip with you soon.

*

and, thanks cousin mich and family. thanks for going thru the whole hassle of organising and searching for the best tour package. i can imagine the trouble... going frm one company to another and comparing here and there... and making sure everyone is ok.. eeks. thanks thanks.

*

ok, april.. i juz hope frm now till then, there will be no shit in office.. else, go also cannot play at peace. wish me luck!

MonDaY BluEeeesss

im soo soo sianz.. tmr's monday again. o man.. i really do suffer frm monday blues. i don wanna go back to work. i don wanna face all those shit. i hope things can clear up soon, but.... it seemed like it's not going to. delaying and delaying and delaying.. till now..... don know how to clear liao. doesnt matter it cant clear, i juz hope no new shit will come. sorry for being so coarse, but... besides using "shit" to describe, i don know a better word le.

*

was listening to 933 tt day... then the dj was saying he's been wanting to be a dee-jay all his life and now tt he is, he enjoys work everyday. when ur job = hobby, how nice would tt be rite? but tt's where the problem comes in, apparently, i do not have a hobby. all i wanna do is to slack and sleep. but then, if i don work and everyday slack, then i wont be tired le rite? and if im not tired, then sleeping will not be my hobby le rite? mmmm....

*

my colleague almost tells me everyday how nice it will be being a tai-tai and only work for interests. will being a tai-tai really be happy? i have no money, so i work hard and look forward to payday everyday. i look forward to having money to buy the things i like, to travel to places i want, to see my savings grow. if i have alot and alot and alot of money, doesnt tt mean i have nothing to look forward to le? doesnt tt mean life holds no meaning le?? so, does being rich = happy?

*

ok, being rich is one thing. but how to find a job whereby i will be looking forward to everyday? i tot of many jobs tt maybe i will enjoy, but i can think of the many challenges in those jobs as well. basically i want a job tt 1)no need to face pple, 2)no need to kenna scoldings, 3) no need to clear shit, 4) no need to hit targets. all i want is a job whereby i juz need to sit at my desk whole day and do work and when the time is up, knock off and continue tmr. no need to talk to anyone else, no need to worry abt not being able to finish, and no need to hit any targets. 做得完就做,做不完就明天再做.....

*

不可能hor....很难hor.... 没有这样的工作对吗??

*

I tot for v long.... and... 终于想到了一个最符合我的要求的工作.... and tt is to be a mrt driver.

*

they juz have to stay in their little cabin and ensure tt the train reaches the stations on time. no need to face pple, no targets, no backlogs. perfect, isnt it?

*

till date, tt is the only one job tt i can think of.

*

so how pple??? how to find my perfect job???

*

sian sian sian.... im really sian.. sis said something is really wrong if i dread going to work so much.

i retorted her asking "u not sian at work meh?"

she said "sian, but not as sian as the way u r"

then, she told me to re-consider my job if im going to dread it soo much....

*

actually i will be v happy if i can close off the 3 cases on hand. then in future, i will play smart and avoid such cases le. pls pray for me pple. pray that the 3 cases can be resolved soon. then, i will be a happy person le.

"A leap year is a year in which one extra day has been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. A leap year consists of 366 days, whereas other years, called common years, have 365 days. " (courtesy of time and date.com )

*

read frm the website that basically leap year is necessary 'to keep our calender in alignment with the earth's revolutions around the sun'. to put things simply, the earth actually takes ~365.25days to rotate ard the sun. if we uses a 365-day calender, each year, we will lose ~0.25 day. so in order to make up for that 0.25 day, every 4 yrs, we will need an extra day. if not, in 100 yrs time, the 'calendar would be more than 24 days ahead of the season (tropical year), which is not desirable or accurate'.

*

ok, actually i already knew tt in sec or jc (cant rememeber which). but cant really remember the facts, so juz went to the website to chk it out. hahaha.. bo liao hor?

*

anyway, 2008 is a leap year which contains 29th feb aka leap day. when the next leap year occurs, i'll be 27 yrs old le. i wonder how will i be then... haii.... sounds so scary... ok.. im digressing further and further away and losing the focus of today's entry.

*

on leap day, cousin alison finally tied the knot. cousin alison should be my 2nd eldest cousin frm maternal side. eldest maternal cousin is her older brother whom i address as ah heng cousin. then followed by cousin alison. then followed by cousin mich who is only 1 yr my senior. heh.

*

actually not v close to cousin alison, maybe due to age gap. but she's really close to my ah ji. when they were still teenagers and when i was still a kid, i remembered they will meet up every wkend. then every cny, they will go out together after ban-nian-ing at granny's hse. now, my ah ji is a mama and cousin alison also married le.. 时间真的不饶人... 大家......乘年轻想做什么就赶快去做吧!!!! 年轻真的就这么一次 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*

the wedding dinner was held at orchard parade hotel on the leap day. rushed down after work. quite galan-gabok cuz i gotta bring my outfit to change and make-up. took a cabby down to the hotel frm work-place. my colleague was telling me how ex it would be cuz peak hours and town area. but only $10.80 la. 吓到我 ...
