SeEking my Polaris
hey its me..
whew.. the past months flew by in a flashed.
some interesting updates
started a new job in July, and i jus tendered my resignation. specialised in events management etc.. tired tired.. health is taking a toil, 4 months of endurance so i think i better pull the plug early! thats me.. not very $-driven kind. haa.
busy with all the housing n wedding prep. yup im finally allowing myself to get off the shelf, after some internal conversations between my heart and my mind ;p Mixed feelings, cos a new future awaits. lifestyle changing. well i guess everyone go through this stage ya. many of my friends are already married and having kids. i wonder how is life in their shoes? oh ya, should i pick a gown that i look stunning in? or one that i feel comfortable in? shucks.
i have met some really nice folks, and some not so nice people in my worklife. my philosophy in life is, i cant be bothered about them cos they are not my ultimate destiny. they think they are bigshot in the company, for goodness sake, they are just pathetic puppets who have no choice but to act tough/put on mask etc. But for the really nice folks, i will truly cherish them. learnt alot about myself, through the hectic and demanding job, also about people around me.. for those people who fell into office politics, its really a choice and an attitude, i dont understand their mentally of playing mind games. im so tired at time. i just want to maintain my honesty and truthfulness. and do my work A**holes. now my marketing experience includes Events, which is cool! also handling websites like joomla, and using PHP. those are really good freewares to set up own business in future. thank god for opening my eyes!
Feels good to take a break now. and wait to charge when the next round of waves come around. yeah, just like surfing yah. niceee.
know what?.. the 1 year death aniversary for irene jus passed. i think of her often. i dunno why? the way she indulge in food even though she needs to lose weight. the way she provided for her entire family without any complains though she is same age as me. the way she lie in the coffin with her hair pin up like how she always do. i miss you my friend. i miss you even though you are so faraway and time is supposed to wash away the pain. i still feel the lost.

Yups indeed a monday evening well spent.
i went home tired but refreshed
& i swore i had the best sleep last night in these few months!
wOke up with an expected muscle ache..
& it gets worst throughout the day in the office
nonetheless... i was very proud of myself for keeping my promise to keep
my body healthy through exercise :)
Cant believed it, going for a couple of interviews made me realised

:) lunch

Kuku treated us to lunch at TCC today. The bill came up to almost $200.
He is those very generous with friends person..
and sometimes when he goes drinking, he told me he will sign his
credit card like nobody's business.
You know guys like him, are great pals to be with,
but not the best hubby/ boyfriend material;
Imagine him telling you all these splurges,
you will be gritting your teeth & scolding the hell out of him.
Dunno why, he always say i very dirty minded...
when all i did was to say Damien Rice sang the 'Blower's Daughter'
:s
Wow.. didnt know this is what i must look out for especially the last item...
haha... i have been a victim of sorethroat almost like every month?!
and now i know why. cheeRs to better health!
Your Lifestyle1. Drink plenty of water to keep your vocal tract moist.
- Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeinated beverages (e.g. tea and coffee). Alcohol dehydrates the body and caffeinated beverages are unnecessary stimulants.
2. Watch what you eat.
- Eat a balanced diet to achieve/maintain optimal health.
- Spicy food may irritate the throat.
- Dairy products may increase phlegm.
- To prevent heartburn and a reflux of stomach acids into your vocal passage, avoid acidic/spicy foods, eating late at night, caffeine and overeating.
3. Give up smoking.
- Smoke and other aerial pollutants irritate your breathing and vocal apparatus. There are also other well-known health risks associated with smoking that can be reduced if you do not smoke/breathe in second-hand smoke.
4. Be aware of the medications you take and their effects on your body.
- Certain medications may dehydrate the body/vocal passage. Others may stimulate or sedate the body, respectively causing your vocal passages to constrict or making you feel lethargic.
- To compensate the drying effect of any medication, drink extra water.
5. Exercise regularly.
- Regular aerobic exercise improves your strength and cardiovascular fitness, reduces/maintains your weight and helps get rid of stress. Stretching and muscle toning exercises will keep your body limber. Consequently, such activities will enable you to breathe more deeply and better support your voice when you speak.
6. For women only:
- Take extra care of your voice in the few days before and at the start of your menstrual period. Changes in oestrogen levels may cause the vocal cords to swell.

Health is gold
Let me see… the past 2 months, I had cancelled appointments on the day itself due to extreme fatigue, and sickness. I think this is not a good sign.
My last quarter of 2007 resolutions:
Be Healthy!
Sign up for Amore fitness package by Sept. Must keep fit.
Check with Medical Hall what to eat to build up my body. Must tiao yang tiao yang.
I think girls are the weaker sex in terms of health, and because we have the child
Bearing responsibility, we must really keep a balance lifestyle. Hmm.. I think as I talked
To friends over the msn.. I realised many of them are going through problems..
Jimy also went through 2 times of LASIK.. and might be going for another one.
R study loans issues are giving her a hard time..
Col just recovered from dengue..
Ohhh… I went for an interview w NVPC.. a non profit org.
There was a panel of 3 ladies.
Hmm.. it went normal, didn’t get a chance to talk much cos one of them keep yakking.
So I don’t think the chances are high.
Anyway im currently getting busier, and am quite comfy here.
Too lazy to move.
None of us are living a life that is a bed of roses.
So, I must tell myself to stop lamenting,,
Get my ass up and make some changes.

Yulp

Hmm when is my flu recovering?
Nonetheless, have to attend company’s Bowling event tonight…

My lesbo friend got single recently. And she has been asking me out for lunch.
Imagine travelling all the way from Thomson to Jurong, to eat lunch for an hour,
Then travel back to Thomson. Hmm…

Even part time.. I also say NO NO.
Scared of complicating relationships again. Im a simple person lor..

One thing that has been filling up my brain these days is:
Less is More.
Agenda coming up:
Bowling event
ISO Audit
Chalet - friend birthday

Sister birthday celebration
Bible conferences
Shanghai Trip
I need a break to just do

Breadtalk..
Told ya, told ya, rest will do me good! Took half a day on fri, and rested on sun.
ya, sat is the usual packed one. And viola.. PMS came. Cramp until I cry…
but then.. everything is under control now.
Kuku gave me 2 solutions when I told him I need to buy ‘bread’ during lunch time
[bread = pad].
one is, go toilet and take 40 segments of toilet paper and fold them paitently...
then stick double sided tape at the bottom and ...
Number 2, Col A eats bread everyday during lunch... ask him if he want strawberry jam.. then I can do him the favor.
So I replied, ya, why not I throw in free watermelon juice as well??
Can faint.

Mid wEek
Totally unthinkable. How can I not even finish a book in 2 weeks??
I have flunk my own standards of literacy… I used to set a standard of finishing
an entire book by a day.
I think those Damn self improvement books are so hard to finish..
Cos everytime I read a paragraph, I will ponder and reflect
‘am I like that?’ & finally conclude that oh dear… ‘im really like that!’…
Plus… ya well I admit that I kinda have no time to hang around at home to read
These days. Im like, out almost 6 days a week.
How to finish within the loan time?!
But I refused to pay for self help books.. simply because I know, I will never be able to
Apply the principles taught. Human are like leopards you know, we seldom change our spots.
& I do love visiting the library alone.
Work has been stressful lately. and I felt like crying yesterday when I feel so alone..
And there isnt anyone to support me. Really thank god that I waved that negative emotions
Off after a while, and choose to move on. Very soon, I found a solution to my issues, and hey
Though im not sure whats the outcome but at least im working on them!
It gives me a lot of feel-good pulses that im able to think on my feet and not give up.
Should I start swimming on Monday nights? Im like sooo lazy.
Sighz…. Fat tummy is my worst enemy ;(
my fav picture for now!

Lazy Fri
Lunch mates has increased to 5, 6, 7 people recently.
And today there are 9 people altogether.
Seriously I stil don’t fancy a big crowd w superficial relationship…
I guess im not that good at putting up a PR show.
I been clearing some old emails lately.. and I really miss the times I had at my last company. The people and friends I made there are simply great & enjoyable folks to be with. We stil keep in contact though meet up is restricted to once a month, or even less.
These people have spent countless moment of stress, fun, laughter and tears with me.
I really miss them.. you know who you are!
Is it time to move on already? I really hope to change industry.
This place is too good for marriage + family planning, its not my cup of tea.
p/s: did you hear the news about the tornado across kallang river today? Amazing.
I hope that before anything happens to Singapore island.. [could it be due to the fact that the people in white has been getting too tyranny lately?]
we can be on talking terms again. Chill.

Sweet
Yes I am eh… total sucker for gentleman kindness.
Erm.. and I mean totally.
A new korean [too bad, married] guy in office who opens car door for you,
operates the lift buttons, wait for you on escalator,
looks after table when all go to buy food, offered to buy & refused to collect payment for drinks, and make sure you are not the last one walking behind…
Lunch has been really enjoyable lately :)
Will the Singaporean guys please stand up?
No, we are not looking for a Casanova, but someone who does all these because
he respects women and loves us species?
Angel has been exceptionally sweet lately. well, no, I don’t think he has fidelity issues.
It just he has beginning to understand that my love language is ‘Quality Time’.
I'm beginning to feel more love.. more TLC from him.
Yeah, let’s hope this is not a tint of rainbow at the far corner of sky.
I hate to become all clingy and emotional dependent on him again!

TMD! Why You Slap Me?

i think i could make believe that this trip is quite enjoyable. Except for the insect bite that made my foot swelled like a pig's trotter! Yes im that casualty-prone so i wouldnt make a big deal out of it. At least we made some new friends and did some silly stuff.. so sad that my menses came and i couldnt drink, dance or go rafting.. haikz.. another time perhaps! :)
Thanks guys!

Breezing
Seriously, sometimes I forgot what I wrote in this blog.
I can watched a hundred hours of movies, and realised i have forgtten to tune in to my favourite show. Recently suffering a series of blurness.. like lost in translation.
I really wish the company can give us 1 week off, even though this week is a short week. There are some renovation going on [yes, again!] and its terrible, dusty, noisy, smelly, my skin is very sensitive de lor.
Recently, I met a very nice financial planner. He treats me to nice meals.. and invited me to his office to share with me in details about my financial plan. At the same time, I was enjoying the free massage from OSIM I-Squeeze in his office. How cool is that?
But we are doing seirous things ok, we wu zhor kang one. And im not exactly a big fish but I guess I’m a nice gal :)
Actually nothing really gets on my nerves these days.. even those that usually gets on my nerves, I will just wave it off with nonchalance. I don’t really give a hoot to people who cant bother to respect others. Yes, in every relationship, having respect is important.
Anyways, I’m taking it real easy. so I got nothing much to rant about.
Shalom.

Mr Boombastic

Nada Sou Sou.
Think i will just buy vcd to watch for this one..
ya, dont like sappy love stories anymore.
especially the ones that made me depressed instead of making me weep.
anOther farewell lunch todae.
Bye Bye Rene, may all be fine with you, in your entrepreneurship. :)
thanks for the friendship and lunches that we had.
Yesterday i met a potential financial planner. He is quite alright,
and i think doing financial planning at the right age really will help us to
become millionaire in 30 years time. No kidding.
He did tell me confidently.. but i dunno how much capital is he talking about here?
haha.. anyhow, start on the right step is important.
i better stop my own speculations of unit trusts [though im not losing any money yet]
and entrusts my $$ to him. His charges are pretty reasonable & promised to provide
a comprehensive financial planning proposal for me.
The fact that he is also a christian sets me heart at ease.
1. He wont swindle my money
2. He wont only think of moeny, above integrity
Anyway, investing is about not losing money!
Yesterday i also went to this salsa club.. what an eye opener..
the very place that a nerd can find his own paradise and gets to dance
and touched intimately [in the name of salsa] thOse pretty, tall, lanky gals..
this is heaven to them. sOrry man, maybe im toO frank..
i jUst dont fancy strangers [especially geeky looking nerds w lusty smile] with their hands all Over me.
Yes, dancing is OKAY.
But nOt sitting on a stranger guy's hips.. and him swaying while his hip is rubbing my inner thighs? NO WAY. [by the way, thats another form of latin dance call bacruda? or something along that line. NOt that i bothered.
Anyway, it was fun to watch them dance 'Radar' [made of many dancing couples]
where one guy will be shouting the 'salsa steps' command, and everyone follows the dance step.
also gets to exchange partners in progress. that looks like fun & its the most
entertaining dance of the night.
yeah, god bless my soul.

would you?
would you think of me when things are not going your way?
would u think of the funny conversations we had in your car..
and the complains sessions that we both had?
would you think of the nice resturant food and hope that
i was there to share the meal with you?
would you go for a drink.. and suddenly went quiet
cos i wasnt there to have a toast with you?
would you be watching a movie.. and during a hilarious scene,
found that the person beside you had a different laughter from me?
or would you feel like crying, and realised,
there is no one to cry with you.
would you feel like chatting online.. and when you saw my nick offline,
feel a tinge of disappointment?
would you miss me when you are gone?
would you..?
p/s: the truth is, everybody moves on.. sooner or later.

k800i
my new toy.. Sony Ericsson k800i..
I will grow to love you i promised.
i didnt thought i would buy the above phone.. prob cos of the bulk
but the phone features was a pretty nice packaged i must say.
had alot of sagas with the trade off of my beloved.
alot of running arounds.. and im really tired.
that stupid gal at the samsung service centre went to make some markings on my
warranty seal without telling me at least.
& pple immediately know its a corroded set. Damn.
But I heart M1. they accepted when they test the functions & it was
working well. thank god.
well.. its all a new beginning now.. and yeah,
i will treat you well.
well.. if you find someone who treats their gadgets like a baby/lover..
that's me. and i talk to them cooingly most of the time.
i think, gadgets are out to complicate my life..
not that im complaining much.
thanks dear sis for accompanying me :)
there's a new guy, i mean 2 new guys in my office [but who pays attention to the
old & short guy anyway?] well.. the other.. is quite a looker, trendy, with a diamond
studd in his ear. hmm.. how do i rate guys w ear stud?
freaking cool.
now, i wonder how long they will last as traders?

That drifting feeling..

Yesterday’s entry was actually entered half way.
Hmm.. something happened, and I felt like I have let someone down.
The same feelings I always get, and I always hate..
& I’m doing it to someone nOw.
Guess I cant beg enough for your forgiveness..
but seeing you sad, really affects me right down to my soul.
Just like what works for me every time, Time will make me a stronger person.
Had an okay company dinner yesterday.
Everything was extravagant, but the company sucked. I don’t think I will ever fit into the rat race, everyone-for-themselves kinda culture. Even though the welfare is really good.
I really need to think how long am I going to endure the shite. I feel like I’m buying time, and yet to do what? I dunno. 2 of my work khakis have plans to leave by April. Though we are in different shoes, as their bosses are utterly lousy to begin with. I still feel a tinge of sadness.
It’s a Friday and I really hope I do not have these much to think.
Cheer up gal.

cai shen ye

My vendors are really Kua Zhang.. and gave me a pleasant shOck yesterday!
The whole sales team [& i suspect creative team as well] came down, to wish me
a Happy Lunar New Year. I cant helped being amused at the pimply God of fortune.
& ya, he should put on more weight as well.
My vote of courage goes out to him.
They gave a box of mandarin oranges + a redpacket with 'Zhen Zi' for us to buy 4D.
I nearly die from blood rushing to my face.. so paisay!
Anyways.. the Numbers to watch out for is 1313.
& i think it translates to 'one whole life' :)
I have half of a mind to switched off my radio today.
It is belting out tunes after tunes of sappy love sOngs!
Not that i dont fancy those sOngs.. but its making me who isnt celebrating Vday
feeling more n more Melancholic. heh. Im down with pms, fever and flu.
Happy Vday 2U.

Back to work.
Wow.. the eyes really need sometime to adjust and adapt.
All the office lights seemed so dazzling now. I have good news.. but I wasn’t around last week to personally receive it during the monthly award presentation. I got the exceptional support award and it came as a surprised! When the director passed the award to me today, its was $300 voucher [of my choice]. Yah, I know it isn’t much but I was still touched. Firstly, I made a boo boo at work recently, and also this director wasn’t my direct boss.. but I guess he pushed for me cos I worked closely with him this month. My GM boss is generally ok with my performance I guess, but he is too busy to look after the details. Happy :)
With this $300 + the $100 that I received for participating in ISO audit.. hmm… am starting to think about the next gadget that I will bagged… another handphone or PDA?
Anyhow, the sink’s water pipe burst at blardy 5am.. and I was the one who discovered it as I was having dry eyes and woke up to put eye drops as usual. I heard raining sound in my house. Immediately got out of bed to investigate.. wah, it was indeed raining in the bathroom. I used a towel to wrap around the hole before alerting my dad who was sleeping soundly. SuperDad gathered his tools and changed the damaged section instantly & effortlessly.
Oh man.. I always have respect for a man who is able to handle a plumbing job!Labels: LASIK 2007, wOrk
Lunch
Had Pepper lunch today! Yumz.. they are having a $2 off for steak sets, and of cos I went for it! Yummy.. I enjoyed it more than the pepper beef rice set that I had earlier. Keke and there was a kind gentleman who put brown sauce & pepper on my bean sprouts while I was busy pan frying them. I think I had enough of the lunch saga between melon and roti gal. I refused to join in their squabbles & take sides on who should i lunch with. And thanks to the nice finance folks who took me in, the lonely child.. glad I didn’t had to lunch alone afterall :)
My col went into a shop, and tried on some sunglasses, asking for my opinions, after that, she just decide to buy one in like less than 10 mins. omg.. $170 gOne haha. but it was a nice shade, the most in trend of those big, chunky with little diamondtes at the sides.
So an additional resolution this month.. not to bother about ridiculous & incorrigible persons alike. Life goes on. The earth don’t stop moving for you.
我想化成隐型的人。。

oh, & i kinda like this song from Elva..
我站在爱的

不在乎守候多辛苦
当你孤单时想起我
那是我最大的幸福...
