The Year silently creep by.. and we are now at the last couple of weeks of 2010. Glad that X'mas is at the end of the Year; gives us plenty of reasons to meet up with Everyone, and catch up a little before we bid the Year Good-bye.
Had a couple of X'mas celebrations... but I really could not find the time and energy to post up the photos. I know, the Korea Posts are still outstanding.
Anyway.. I shall save my Speech for next week.
Merry X'mas everyone!! This has been a Fabulous Year for me, and I hope its the same for you. :)

Many outstanding events to update.. but I really do not have the time to do it. Doing up the photos takes time, and so does the uploading process.
Anyway.. this is not about that.
I.. am unhappy at work.
Not that the work is too tough or my Boss is wicked. But rather.. getting along with my Colleauges is a real challenge. =(
No EQ.. is really someone who is so 小心眼 that I really dont know what I should do.
1. Her Boss ask me do stuff, she not happy.
2. My Boss ask her do stuff, she also not happy.
3. I did things well and got priased, I think.. she also not happy.
So what do you want me to do.. Reject your Boss when he asked me to do stuff? How in the world am I supposed to do that? He is the Executive Chairman and how you want me to not do it well.. And after I did his stuff, he wrote an email out to priase me.. I dont even dare to tell anyone coz I scare it might upset her that I score points with her Boss. But ended up, her own Boss use that email and forward it out to the whole world. What follows is plenty of "secrect masaging" with NO EQ and my CSM (another colleauge). Its like having someone gossiping about you, right in-front of you.
I feel bad you know.
And a new consultant came to me to ask me for his Staff Pass and Note Book.. this are all NO EQ's duty. I acted on instinct to find the IT Guy to help.. after which I seriously regretted. Should have ask her to do it instead.. so what greeted me is, more "secrect typing" between No EQ and CSM. So once again.. more gossiping about you, right in-front of you.
I am so tired.
I have to consider which move I take here.. as if taking orders from Boss (some super challenging ones even) are not enough. It is true.. nothing is ever perfect. When I have the perfect job, I had the lousiest Boss ever. And now just as I am loving my job and the satisfaction that comes with it, I got to endure all this inter-personal matters.
I know.. both of them are looking for a job. Somewhere deep down, I really hope they will move on soon. For the better of them.. and also me.

Time passes so fast recently..
We have reached the month of December, the year is coming to an end. 2012 has been a year of changes for me..
Having an important Someone marking milestones with me..
Changing not 1 but 2 Jobs..
And also.. leading a healthier Lifestyle.
Early this year, I ran my 1st 10km. It has been such an achievement for me!! I had wanted to try the 21km next.. well, have to 继续挑战自我. But.. Standard Charted was held early in the morning. I dont think I can tahan running under the Sun all the way till noon.
Hence.. I tried another 10km again. Hoping that I can get a better timing as compared to SunDown 2010. ^^
1km mark... still running with Boyfriend. But I had difficultly keeping to his momentum, so we decided to part ways.
2km mark.. going on strong!!
3km mark.. err, is that Helix Bridge?? And.. it came with a slight slope. Still quite energetic, cleared the slope in no time.
4km mark.. entering Marina Bay Sands area. Nice view.. but that stupid slope is getting the better of me.
5km mark.. abit the cannot-make-it liao. Walk and run, walk and run.
6km mark.. my first time running along the Express Way. Pass my 辛苦part and gain back the momentum. BUT BUT BUT!!! Is that another slope I see upfront??!
7km mark.. give up liao lah. :p Super steep slope up the Express Way, so I ended up walking all the way up slope (err, and down slope too. I scare I'll roll down like Humpty Dumpty you know).
8km mark.. still walking, but spotted Boyfriend!!
9km mark.. so we walk together loh. ^^
Last 100mtr.. together, the both of us run pass the Finishing Line together!
With Boyfriend.. we cleared our 10km Standard Chartered 2010. ^^ To conclude, this would be my last Standard Chartered. It is a little too hot, a little too crowded, a little too early.
But that does not means I am saying Good-bye to Marathon.. there is always SunDown. ^^
So.. tomorrow the full impact of 10km will hit me big time. It is not helping that I foresee a super duper busy week ahead. I am liking my work alot, but I cannot say so to my Colleague. But well.. its been ages since I have such a sense of satisfaction at work, so I'll endure on!!
Going to bed now.. super duper tired. Have a great week ahead kae pple!! ^^

.Random.
[1] I am fucking pissed at the Low EQ (or should I say its NO EQ) one.
[2] All my photos (well, close to ALL) for Year 2010 are gone.
[3] 2 late-nights with Boyfriend + Friends and I am really tired now.
This is a very busy and bad week for me.. I am extremely pissed by that NO EQ. Its a long story, and I do not want to stress myself out by repeating it. She is just so not worth my cyber time and space.
Well.. just need to get it off my chest.

*sigh*
I know.. there are tons to be uploaded and updated.
But.. I really do not have the luxury of time now to do all the updates. =(
Anyway.. life is great now. Am busy with all the X'mas planning and Pressie shopping. Hehe, you know me.. I am a super festive person. I thought I've done most of my X'mas shopping in Seoul, but over the weekend.. I realised that is so not the case. So I still have to go crack my brains and go find more Pressies. Nevertheless, its a task which I adore!!
Boyfriend is still as lovely as ever.. Work is still as busy as ever.. I miss my Friends!! Will be catching up soon with them this weekend.
So.. till then, everyone take care kae. I have to go get busy with work now. ^^
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
I am back from The Land of Kimchi, Ginseng and 0 degree. That place seriously freeze me to death and I develop a fever during the early part of the trip. It was so bad that Boyfriend is up most of the night getting me cold towel to cover my forehead, waking me up for meddy and water and covering me up and to make me sweat it out. It is no easy feat to keep warm when it is 0 degree outside, but all Thanks to Boyfriend.. He manage to nurse me back to health. ^^
Anyway.. more on that the next time round!! I have to clear the photos from the weekend before I fly.. its been a busy weekend!!
Boyfriend... bought me Sammi's Concert Tickets!!
I missed her last concert and its sure a regret. So thou I am whinning about low-in-budget, Boyfriend still went ahead and bought the tickets!
There is a terrible jam.. Lucky I didnt tu too much and we made it to the Singapore Stadium on time!!
And the concert begins!!!
She's my idol when I am still in Secondary School.. after so many year, she is still so charismatic. I am totally charmed by her.. ^^
Some songs.. are just so beautiful after so many years.
So.. the next day. I wakie bright and early and head off to an joyous occasion!!
Attended the Wedding Lunch of SJ - my Poly Peeps. After so many years, SJ lose much weight and is looking his best on his Big Day! This.. is the first time I attended a Malay Wedding!!
They serve Nasi Padang.. Attended the Wedding with the Girls.. ^^SJ and his Beautiful Bride.. seriously, she is one very pretty lady. And I never knew Malay Gowns can look that good. ^^
So.. wishing SJ and his Beautiful Wife a blissful marriage!
With that.. Boyfriend came down to pick me up and we headed down to my Granny's after running some errands at Parkway.
We are there to celebrate my Cousin's Bday!! Time really flies by.. this Little Girl is now 15. Happy Birthday Babe!! Study hard but play hard too kae.. you're only young this once. ^^
Then.. its time to hit the road again. It is sure 1 busy Sunday. Boyfriend sent me down to Furama Hotel.. I've got another wedding to attend!
Congratulations to AK and Momo!! I've seen them fall in love.. carry out that long-distance-relationship.. overcome all the financial barrier.. and now, so glad to see the two young people in love happily settled down.
Despite this being a Vegetarian Dinner (my first Vegetarian Wedding Dinner actually), I had a great time catching up with the old KM Colleauges. ^^ Most of the people are still around, so well.. its one good dinner.
Boyfriend swing by to pick me up after that.. And its home sweet home.
Monday and Teusday are busy day at work!! And I've got to rush for the flight on Tuesday after work. So.. more on my Korea Trip in the next post yar!! ^^

Wednesday, October 27, 2010
Many many updates you know.. but I finally uploaded all the photos. Well, not really all.. but All the events. I left quite a lot of photos out as I do not have the time to edit it and upload it. So just make do a little lah. :p
Ermm.. I wanted to say a couple of weeks back, but its such an easy to remember date!! Its the 10th October 2010 (Sunday)..
Attended DT's Solemnization Party at International Seafood Restaurant at East Coast Park. It is a small event.. he only invited Relatives and Close Friends. Well... I do not know anyone there, but its such an important day for him and I really want to give my blessings to this Old Friend of mine.
Him saying.. "I Do".
I wish you a Blissful Union Old Friend.. the road ahead is long, but with She holding on to your hand, I believe it will help make the bumpy road a lot smoother. ^^ Congratulations kae Buddy!
Then.. I guess this is 1 week later? Its the Birthday Party of my Baby Cousins.. its held at their house, but this will be the last time we all gather there and celebrate the youngest baby of our Family. They will soon be uprooting to the Land down South in November and I guess I will miss the Baby so much.
See the Young One pulling faces.. He sure has his way with the Camera. Omg, think I am going to miss him much.
Happy Birthday yar!! I will go visit when there is a chance.. ^^
After they blew out the candles.. I had to rush off, dont even have the chance to eat the cake. We had booked the ticket for a movie and we reach.. 45min late. :x
But its a great show!! So no regrets rushing down..
And after that.. thou its after mid-night, we made our way to Prawning Man's house. Prawning Man's Mama is back and Boyfriend headed down to say HI to PM's Mama.. Left a couple hours later, I am seriously very tired.
Woke up early the next day.. Coz we are meeting the Poly Peeps at 12nn for Lunchie at Skinny Pizza @ Raffles City!!
The food is okie.. but the company is even better. ^^
A group photo before I had to rush off again. Yupz.. that entire weekend is packed to the brim and I am on a constant rush from 1 place to another.
But well.. Happy Birthday to MaoMao and XW!! This will be the last Birthday Celebration of 2010, so guess our next gathering will be for X'mas!!
Anyway.. we rushed to Raffles Town Club. To celebrate the arrival of Baby Caelan!
We're there to celebrate Boyfriend's Uni Pal - CCY's little bundle of joy. When I reached.. we're already quite late. I seated beside Boyfriend Uni Hall Roomie, and Roomie was tell me.. this felt more like Baby Caelan's Wedding Dinner then Baby Shower.
Look at the Ball Room.. 20 Tables I think. And it is Grand de loh. :x
CCY and his Precious Darling.. Keke, he said the Baby Shower of his 2nd Kiddo will be held at Marina Sands!! Haha.. we shall see bout that. :p But mai xiao xiao ah, look at the way his carrying Baby Caelan.. got training one.
But then.. he happily left Baby Caelan with us, and went missing into the crowds entertaining his Guest and forgot all about Baby Caelan.. tsk tsk, seems like this Daddy needs to be more attentive!!
But well.. Congratulations to CCY & Wifey on the arrival of Baby Caelan. We will be looking forward to the day you open a Kiddo lane for Baby Caelan at the Bowling Alley.. Auntie Angeline cannot bowl for nutz, so I can entertain Baby Caelan at that Kiddo lane. ^^
And the next event.. is last weekend. ^^ Its my Granny's Birthday Party!! 6 Tables at Spring Court @ China Town. The food was okie.. but well, I was never close to that side of my Family. So I am just waiting for time to pass.
Me and my Giantic Baby Brother.. who finally decide to lose weight! I salute his efforts now but shall see how long he can substain.. :x
The yummy cake!! This is the Biggest Cake they have.. and after my Cousin-in-law ordered it, my Granny insisted that this cake is not big enough. So she ended up ordering that Agar agar.. but well, we couldnt finish either of it. :x
Thank God Boyfriend is there to accompany me.. After Dinner, we rushed off for a late night movie, which I kinda.. fall asleep. :x
On a separate note.. I FINALLY received Dividends from Citibank!! I have not been spending enough to get their Dividend. So after much efforts (reads: spending way toooo muchie), I finally got the cash back!! ^^
And well.. just a final update.
Remember the True Spa thingie.. I am so glad that I've reached a settlement with them early November and got a Court Order for a compensation which I am still rather satisfied. Coz I'm sure you all will know.. Subtle Senses (the company that took over True Spa's customer) closed down a couple weeks back. So meaning.. all the customer will end up with nothing now.
Lucky Boyfriend pushed me though the whole proceedings.. if not I sure dilly dally and ended up giving up along the way to claim. So I collected my cheque this week and have banked it in.. I was also informed that I am holding on to the last cheque that True Spa will give out. As Subtle Senses has gone into liquidation.. True Spa will no longer is doing any more refunds from this point on. I am indeed extremely lucky.
So.. guess that kind of summarize the happenings recently. I have not been meeting Besties recently and BESTIE - I AM MISSING U!!
Work has been busy.. I think I am not performing as well as I should be so I am putting in more effort and trying very hard to excel here. I am still trying to make an effort to go for the Gym and attend the cardio/ yoga classes religiously. That takes up almost all of my time..
12 more days and I will be jetting off for a Holiday. Cant wait.. ^^
Friday, October 22, 2010
I.. fall down again.
Cant believe I am that clumpsy.. and what makes it worst is I fell down while walking to the meeting room with my Big Boss. Super pai sey!!
Lost some skin on my left knee (but nothing serious as compared to the previous fall) but I still had it bandage up as I cannot do anything much with the exposed skin which is hurting me like crazy. As for my right knee.. well, I can see a huge blue black coming up.
Ermm.. has been busy lately. Attended quite a lot of Birthday Parties, Baby Showers and Engagement Party. Took some photos.. but well, give me some time and I'll have it all loaded up. ^^
For now... I'm just waiting for the sweet arrival of my weekend!! This is going to be a Mahjongie Weekend.. HUAT AH!!
And yupz.. the haze. Its kinda bad.. I get a clear view of Marina Barrage from my Office, but this couple of days.. some Magician seemed to be at work and the whole Marina Barrage just disappeared from sight. But well.. I still dont think it is really that serious. I a bit buay tahan those people who are whining away coz of some little eye irritations or sinus that are triggered off by the haze. We are really a pampered bunch of kids living under perfect condition and a little something simply gets us all down. :x
Anyway... have a good weekend ahead kae people!! ^^
Tuesday, October 05, 2010
Finally.. I'm out of that Office!! Regain my long-lost freedom.. I have a week's break before I start my job at the new place, so am enjoying and resting while I still can. ^^
Boyfriend is finally back in town!! I head to the Airport on Monday early morning to pick him up from the Airport.. only to have waited more then 1 hour. Some thing went faulty during the flight back and the plane got stuck in the run-way for close to 1 hr. But well.. 平平安安 is what matter most..
守信 from USA!!
My Favorite Chocolates!! A new Bag from Coach!! In my favorite Yellow... ^^ And a new top!!
-continued on 16th Oct-
Well.. I drafted out the above post a couple weeks back but never got to post it as its half way done and somehow I did not have the time to complete it.
This Blog.. is covered with spider webbie and dust. But I really do not have the time for it recently. During my break last week I was at the Gym for 5 days; but guess weight is not really going down much as I'm gaining muscle for that much needed metabolism and also the Dinners with Boyfriend is no helping much. See that yummy chocolates he got me from USA explain that much.
Anyway.. I have been at the new place for 1 week. Still too early to tell; but I am seriously thinking I have finally been lucky and found a good place. It is really a Big Company and I have no lack Colleagues to lunch with. My Boss is forever smiley and nice so really no complains there.
Ermm.. its close to 1 in the morning and I want to catch up with my Dramas that I have been missing on for the past week. Then I gotta head to bed to ensure that I can wakie for Gym tomorrow morning!! Yupz.. I never realised Gym can be such an addiction. :p
Nitez World!! ^^
Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Running out of Photos to post as I have not been taking my camera out lately. Well.. I am lazy to the max and have not been doing anything much lately. You know.. I got this 'three-minute-hotness' thingie. But anyway.. despite the lack of photos, I still have got updates!
.Random.
[1] Resgination.. it has finally been casted in stone. I tendered my resignation last Friday and my last day will be this Friday. I am feel rather pissed at Mentor this week as she is trying to make me not only finish up the work for this week, but also for the next few weeks in view that this position will stay empty for the time being (reads: Boss no time to find staff). So.. why should I do so much when I am already leaving? I feel no Love for you so why should I even try to make your life easier upon my departure.
[2] New job.. starts in 2 weeks time. Thus I have a week to rest (Yes!! Rest again!!) before I embark on that new journey. Having said that.. I still have some errands to run during that week. I have to go Airport pick up Boyfriend and make that much dreaded trip to Small Claim Court again.
[3] Boyfriend.. is now in USA for a Work Trip. Send him to the Airport on Sunday and he'll only be back next Monday. I am missing him so muchie!! And its not helping that we have a 12hr Time Zone Difference so His Day is My Night and vice versa. Thank God for Skype.. it makes it possible for long chats despite the long distance. He has this Big Presentation to make tomorrow!! Jia you kae Darling!!
[4] Fat.. what's new seriously. But I've taken an extra step to counter that. I am spending good money and have signed up for a Gym Package at Fitness First. Since much monies have been spent, I will head down religiously and if this cant let me lose weight.. I really do not know what else can I do.
[5] Holiday.. is coming soon. ^^ With the departure of September and arrival of October, I can start counting down to my trip!! I wonder if I've got sufficient warm clothing for this trip.. but well, I can always buy new ones there right!!
[6] Weddings.. not mine of coz. But I've got at least 1 Wedding to attend for the last Quarter or 2010. I am glad that my Friends deem me important enough to invite me to grace their blissful union. Its going to burn a hole in my pocket, but I love Weddings!! ^^
[7] Misc.. you know, there are certain gatherings which I attended but failed to take photos hence no update here. There is Boyfriend's Friend - Ah Seng's Birthday Party we attended a couple weeks back. Its at K Suites @ Orchard Park Hotel.. I heard that the whole Party cost him $2k and he asked for Donations in cash instead of Pressies for his Birthday. In total, he collected $1440 and donated the entire sum to National Cancer Society. And not only that.. He proposed to His GF during the Party. Super sweet can!!
Well.. losing the mood to write anymore. :p
Friday, September 24, 2010
Have a bit time on hand now at work.. ^^ So its time for another Random post!!
.Random.
[1] I cant believe that I totally let this slip by without a single mention - Small Claim Court. This is the first time I step into a Court.. so well, its significant enough to gain that bit of cyber space here.
I have this Spa Package with True Spa and a few months back they transfer the whole business to a 3rd Party. This 3rd Party is unable to fullfill their part of the contract to me hence..
a. I went to CASE to file a complain
b. True Spa refuse to contact me for settlement
c. I went to Small Claim Court to file a case
d. We were summon to the Small Claim Court for a consultation
e. True Spa refuse to buldge
f. That Judge-or-whoever asked True Spa to go back and prepare a proposal to settle
g. Meet back again in early Oct
h. Hope for a settlement by then; if not I'll prepare for Trial
Got so serious?!?!
But seriously.. I am really angry with the way True Spa handle this issue. I recieved a call from them yesterday; they are trying to settle this with me w/o having returning back to Small Claim Court. But their proposal sucks big time!! They want me to return back to use their services and put me on piority; but nope, thank you. I do not want to go back anymore after all this hassle. And what piss me off is.. the max refund I can get is less then half of what I paid. I sign up for 36 session, use up only 9, but can only get back HALF?! Coz they will have to deduct each session off from the amount I paid.. but at the original price and not the special rate given to member.
WTF?!
Fucking ANGRY!! So.. next topic.
[2] I.. found a new job!! I got a job at a Government Agency.. got a pay-cut, but guess the bonus will be more then enough to cover back. ^^ New Office at Suntec.. so whoever working nearby can just buzz me for Lunchie??
Today.. will be the day where I will tender up my Resignation Letter. As usual.. butterflies in my tummy once again. But let's just pray the Resgination turns out well..
[3] I officially declare my Weighing Machine is faulty.. I just changed the battery a couple months back and this morning it went low batt. Its Energizer battery you know.. not possible that it runs low so easily. And well.. it kept telling my weight is at an all time high!!
So confirm.. that Weighing Machine is faulty and I am going to get a new one after work. :p
You know.. this is supposed to be a Happy Post. But that Small Claim Court thing manage to get me all worked-up again. So well.. thats all for today.
Saturday, September 18, 2010
This is last week!! At least I am catching up on my posts.. ^^ Meet up with DG after work last week.. its his Birthday you know!! We went to Liang Court and had some yummy Japanese Food!!
His a Guru when it comes to Japanese.. he can actually read a speak a little. So it came as no surprise that he is able to bring me to Good Japanese Restaurants that is even frequent by the Japanese people themself. ^^
We.. over-ordered. Haha.. but the Food is great. ^^ Happy Birthday DG!!
It is Mid Autum Festival you know.. and knowing I am such a Festive person, this definitely calls for Mooncake. I was walking around Vivo City 1 day with Boyfriend and we had a little time to spare before our Movie starts. I wanted to pick up some Pressie for QH's Nickie Birthday the next day so we head to the Pet Shop. I bought a small cake for Nickie, and 3 very Colorful Mooncake that is not at all cheap for my Darlings at home.. Seems like my Darlings like it quite alot.. ^^ But well.. too much colorings I think so this shall not be an once in a Big Moon Indulgence for my Darlings..
One fine Saturday morning.. we woke up exceptionally early and we went for a little excursion to ECP!!
After that little episode with that Husky bitting my Toffee.. we meet up with the others and settled down at Starbucks!! It is Nickie's Bdae and I bought him a little cake.. and I didnt forget the candle too kae!!Happy Birthday to the Birthday Boy!! Its Nickie of coz.. keke, not the Gay Boyfriend.And QH gotta help Nickie blow the candle out.. Toffee super anti-social.. not wanting to interact at all. That greedy boy didnt even want a bite of that cake. So he simply look on.. While Nickie cleared out the cake all by himself... ^^After which we headed down to Carls Junior for our Lunch.. the Humans need to eat too you know. And.. we make our way home shortly after that as it starts to rain. Its been a good Outing with our Darlings with 4 Paws. Too bad we didnt have a Group Photo as its rather difficult with the Doggies (and many distractions) and also the weather is either tooooo hot or tooooo wet.
Nevertheless.. I had a great Morning. ^^
Nope.. I don't remember if it is our Pak Tor Wednesday.. but 1 day after work I meet up with Boyfriend at Vivo City coz I wanted to try a new Restaurant. I often walked pass it and see qutie a crowd inside.. but come to think of it, which Restaurant in Vivo City is empty. So anyway.. this is Garuda Padang Cuisine located at Vivo City B2. They served those Nasi Padang food.. which I happen to like. ^^We.. ordered quite a bit.. but the serving is not big. Towards the end we found out that they are actually under the Tong Lok Group (which kind of explains that hefty price tag that comes with it). But nevertheless.. I like the Chicken Rendang!! We'll be back again.. ^^
This is the day.. We brought 'Little Yellow' for Inspection. Boyfriend's 'Little Yellow' turned 3 and has to be presented to LTA for his body check-up.
So one fine Saturday morning.. we headed down to Sin Ming.'Little Yellow' going through various stage of checks.. well, it takes no more then 10min and we are done. And 'Little Yellow' was awarded his err.. Certificate of Well-being. And we happily hoped onto 'Little Yellow' and went in search of breakfast!! ^^And.. it happened so long ago that I cannot remember what we did after that.. ^^
Photos time!! A couple weeks back (yupz... beginning of September) I meet up with TT and Gang to celebrate TT's Birthday!! Everyone came down to Bugis after work on a Friday and went to try something new..
Let's Sweet @ Bugis Junction!! This place serve Dessert Buffet together with some Japanese Cuisine priced at a very reasonable (reads: cheap) rate. Well.. that is the reason why we are at the queue for close to... TWO HOUR!!And then... keke, we only have 80min for Dinner!! But it doesnt matter actually coz we are fast!! Very hungry by then so we wasted no time in filling up our table with food. ^^We had an assortment of food.. and my favorite is that Japanse Curry with Chicken Karrage. The Ommelette Rice is yummy as well!!Everyone of us.. we had almost 30min on the clock after we are full to the brim and just sit around idle chatting and catching up with whats-not. Happy Birthday Tommy!! ^^
