Dear Bloggie,

My first post of the year.. A tart too late I guess, its already 18th January. =)

But better late then never I guess..

Okie, resolutions for the year!

1. Pack my room
2. Save up my first S$10,000
3. Finish my degree with better grades
4. Sign up for a gym membership and attend it religiously

My resolutions this year are more practical and achievable..

Anyway, a brand new year, a brand new beginning..

After 3 years and 2 mths, I finally left Kingsmen. It was sincerely quite heartbreaking, and till now the departure has not fully set in me. I'm going to miss the girls, and also Alex. The past few mths has brought me working very closely with my boss, Alex.. And I really appreciate all the opportunities and encouragement he has given me. Hope I can have wonderful colleauges and bosses at the new place too!

Oh, and I found a new hobby.. =)

I realised that I love baking.. And I have already tried doing cookies and muffins! Within the short period of time, I have also bought quite an extensive range of baking equipment.. Xiang kind of likes my new hobby.. It makes me stay at home, and girls baking seemed kinda cute. No worries pple, I have yet to poison anyone yet, so please continue to help taste my bakery, and give me your comments kae!

Recently, I have the urge to settle down.

But unfortunately, it's a bit too early for him..

I have to admit that we're still going thru a very sensitive patch of our relationship now. We're still trying to build up the lost trust. At 26, he really think its too early too settle down. But hey, it takes 3-4 years to wait for the house (and I'm not getting married unless I've my own house).. By then I'll be pressing 30. =(

Differences are surfacing.. And both of us are making all efforts to smoothen it. I can feel it, I can see it. But how long can this continues, I got no idea..

Is it really too much for me wanting to settle down now...

~*end*~

Dear Bloggie,

I actually managed to slack at home the entire day, without doing anything significant (other then packing my table, watched 4 episode of korean drama and read 1 chapter of the amber spyglass)..

Feeling refreashed and charged after doing nothing for one whole day..

Anyway, went out with Qian yesterday.

Catched Chipmunks (and I really like it) and did abit of shopping (okie.. its slightly more then abit...)

Ended up with a top, dress, lingeries and heels..

I seemed to be buying lots of lingeries recently.. My new peeves.

And this morning, I suddenly realised why am I so broke for the whole month of December.. Its true that I did plenty of Xmas shopping.. But I felt exceptionally broke.. And the truth reveals this morning after I took a closer look at my credit card bill...

I overpaid DBS a couple of hundred dollars for my November bill.. -_-"

Okie.. Its a warm day.. Let me go do some ironing for the time being.. *emiting plenty of housewife and auntie characteristic recently...*

~*end*~

Dear Bloggie,

Been ages since I've last blog.

But well.. many happenings.. But I can hardly go recall it bit by bit.

Finally after all the busy prezzie shopping, the festive have finally passed.

Do I have a good xmas, well.. Yes and No. Since when have xmas gathering became a gathering for couples.. So fundamentally its like each friend will still stick to their spouse. Its not that there is zero interaction, but somehow.. Well. =(

But still, its a wonderful xmas!!

And well.. Now for some news.

I've resigned.

After 3+ years here, I have finally decided to go. Even thou my boss offered to bring me to Germany in Feb for an exhibition show which I've been planning for months, and give me an increment which is close to $900/mth and an annual close to $50,000, I still made the deicsion to go.

So well.. life still goes on.

2007 is coming to an end real soon..

Hope its just as a wonderful year to you as it is to me.

~*Love, xin*~

Dear Bloggie,

Dear Bloggie,

Its been quite some time since my last posting..

Anyway, its my first paper yesterday. =)

The paper was surprisingly a breeze for me.. =p

Considering on the fact that I didnt exactly study for it, unless labelling the entire textbook, chapter by chapter counts. =p

I can even go clubbing with Jere and Qian last Wednesday till 4am.. And I spent my Sunday at my Granny's playing mahjong with my uncles and auntie.. And I spent my 1/2 day leave on Monday going to an interview, and sleeping.. And ermm.. I was on leave yesterday, I finished my tagging and labelling of the textbook till 12noon, and I watched "My Super Ex-Firlfriend" on vcd.. =p

So well, I'm really counting on luck and blessings for the Finance paper.. Which ermm.. hehe. =)

And today, I'm back in the office.. I'll be on leave again tml.. For my 2nd paper - Public Relations.

And well... A secondary school friend of mine just sms-ed and asked me to accompany her for her bridal gown trial on Sunday. *So exciting!!*

I've been to bridal gown trial with Xiang's sister before.. But well.. I still find it exciting. Especially this is my very own friend.. omg. =)

Wedding bells are ringing all around me...

When's mine coming...

Hate xiang. His simply making me wait and wait. Why am I like so desprate to get married when his simply in no hurry..

Thats all folk!!

All the best to xw for her conpetition in the glass showcase!! Thou till now I've got no idea what is it all about, but I've voted for her!!

~*end*~

Dear Bloggie,

Was busy last Friday.. So didn’t have my TGIF post.

Anyway.. Last Friday is a YELLOW Friday.

My favorite color. =)

Okie, not everyone turned up in solid yellow, apparently its not an easy color.. But well.. nevertheless, everyone tried their best. =)_

Didn’t do anything over the weekend..

Ermm.. Actually its more of I got NO PLANS for the weekend.

But eventually, I went Orchard with mum on Saturday. A good day for shopping, but I bought an expensive item, which totally threw me off track and was so guilty that I don’t have the mood to further spend.. (thou I see a couple pair of shoes I like and the dresses are pretty too..)

And Sunday I went for a show with Jere.. Cant remember the show’s name, but its very nice!! Please go see the show… Ermm.. But I cant remember the name of the show… -_-“ And after that went Funan with Jere and my parents to buy a lappie..

And my Granny’s birthday dinner after that. About 50 of us were there for the dinner. We had 5 tables at Hong Xin… But they served 9 course dinner, no dim sum. But well, the food is still yummy!!

Anyway, I am full to the brim. It simply undid all the good that I have done last week.. *sigh*

Its Monday again.. =(

But there’s a public holiday this week, and that makes it a short week!!

Have a good week ahead people!! =)

Dear Bloggie,

*smile*

Another impromptu post..

Every Friday my colleauges and myself have a color code to dress to. The past 2 weeks is pink and violet. There is another brand new color this week. Even more bright and loud, and I'm actually quite looking forward to it. Stay tuned till Friday kae.. to see whats the color of the week. =)

This has actually become a very corporate event. More and more ladies from other departments had heard about it, and are taking part in it..

Anyway, today has not color code tagged on.

BUT..

We all turned out in one same color... Black.

I really love the girls more and more everyday.

Its funny that everytime after we took photos together, there will be decision to go swimming, jogging and more yoga classes and detox programs coz we found ourselves very fat.

Xiang actually got the cheek to tell me, "How come all the girls in your company so fat ah?"

And his officially barred from my company's D&D unless he wants to get slaughtered by the girls. =x

But the next day, Celes said her aunt said the exact same to her, "How come all like you so fat ah.."

-_-"

Dear Bloggie,

This is a back dated post. =)

On 21st October (Sunday), together with come colleauges from different departments, we took part in the Great Eastern Women 5km Fun Walk.

Its 5km.. Say long not long, say short not short. =p

Anyway, the walk started at 8.30am. It took me 38mins to complete the 5km. Somehow running at a open space makes the 5km feels shorter then at the stadium.

Photos taken before the start of the run..

Taking a photo with the 5km map..

The marketing comm girls.. Me, Nurlin and Vicky.

At the starting line..

Okie.. After the run, I fall sick.

Hehe, Throat infection that develops into fever.

And that puts me on mc on Monday.

Thats all folks~~*

Its Monday again today, have a fantastic week ahead kae!!!

Dear Bloggie,

TGIF!!

Its a violet Fridae~~*Isnt it sweet..

I love Fridaes.. =)

Dear Bloggie,

I have been working on my Corp Comm Essay for the entire day. But its really a fruitless attempt as the progress in real bad. There is simply a very negative feeling clouding over me the entire day, but yet I cant put that feeling into words.

Went out for a breather in the evening. Met xiang and he brought me to the cheesecake cafe to cheer me up a little. But sadly, the 60bucks cheesecakes doesnt seemed to be able to perform its magic. I returned home feeling as gloomy as ever.

Its back to the essay.. *sigh*

And I've got a 5km marathon to run (or most likely walk) tomorrow and I'm meeting my colleauges at 7am. I should be going to bed but somehow, the fact that I'm not even halfway through my essay and also ermm.. something else that I dont seemed to be able to put into words, is preventing me from doing so.

And oh yes. I forgot to close my bedroom door earlier on, and that bloody-hell furball of mine actually got the nerve to jump onto my bed and took my softoy. Its a doggie named toot-toot that ah ma and ah lian jie gave me as a birthday present when we're still in poly. That furball actually bite off my toot-toot's nose. God can assure you how angry I was.

Yupz, I spank him real hard after I realised that.

And I'm less then 1mth away from exam.

And I guess I'm missing the time at the riverside..

And I'm missing the time that I do not have so much on my brain.

*sigh*

Dear Bloggie,

Today is a joyful day in the office.

Its a Pink Friday~~*


Everyone is in Pink..

So nice right.. *smile*

Dear Bloggie,

Very unhappy now.

Due to SGD 684.45.

K got D to place order for some stock. Due to shortage of stock, supplier did inform us before hand that they are unable to send 3pcs of items. I scrolled back to the emails way back then, and realized that colleague K is also in the loop when this was informed.

So when the first shipment came in (less the 3pcs), the shipment cost was catered for.

Okie.. Till this stage, I wasn't fully involved with the whole ordering process. (In other words, I'm still out of the picture)

So when the 3pcs was ready, which was close to 1mth later.. It was already on an urgent basis for these 3pcs to come in ASAP. So instead of coming in through cargo freight, they got it in through courier service.

And the courier now send in the bill for these 3pcs of item, which is SGD 684.45.

Just now, K got his boss B, to come talk to me about it together.

(Okie, some background.. I was put in charge of this supplier. We are the exclusive dealer for this supplier in the Asia region, and by right all orders got to go through me, both internal and external. While D was actually more on the technical support. So D somehow became another window for this supplier..)

So I got a shock you see, suddenly 2 guys came over.. An executive and a director. *sigh*

But they also understand that I'm not in the loop, coz K did not order through me after all..

So B, K and D are now talking about the SGD 684.45..

The conclusion is K is not going to pay for it. And I also got no idea D is going to stuff this bill into where..

Actually.. I think K is in the wrong. Judging from the email correspondence, it is not fair to say that he wasn't informed when he was in the loop all along.

And now D is coming to me to compile the documents, to lodge is against... Errm... D's boss A, I think.

Guys and girls.. This the working world. Where you could be friends at one moment, and the next moment they could turn into foes. So remember to be on your toes at all times.. And protect yourself well under ALL circumstances kae..

Keep EVERYTHING in Black & White.

Dear Bloggie,

Celebrated Mao and Xingwei's birthday at last evening at Spageddies Paragon.

The food is "so-so", but well.. I have a wonderful time.

Everyone is in high sprits, the jokes we cracked and the fun moments we shared.

*smile*

The mahjong tiles, the button, the "Huili+Justin", the candid photos, and ermm alot more. =)

Anyway, the high-lights of the nite...

(Is mao's name spelled wrongly? The G seemed like an E...)

Okie, need to get back to work.. =)

Dear Bloggie,

Extreme Tired.

Felt fat, so I went jogging after I reached home from class yesterday. Started jogging at 11.15pm, ended at 12.05am. Bathed and slept at 12.30am.

It's not very late I know, but after several consecutive late nights, this is definitely taking its toll on me.

And due to not enough sleep, topped with pms, I've got 3 freaking gigantic pimples on my face.

omg.

Damn ugly, not to mention pain.

I am so craving for rest.. But this weekend is burnt with my finance case study, I've got 1 full question on annualties.. Which involves both theory and calculations..

Lastly, thanks to all who have showed their concern towards me. And sorry for those whom I have neglected.

(The above statement seemed to be neither making heads nor tails, but those in concern will know what I'm talking about..)

Dear Bloggie,

Xiang is reallie an asshole.

What am I thinking of..

wtf.

Dear Bloggie,

Bought Lizzie and Toffee to ECP yesterday for a walk.

This is the last time I brought both of them to ECP.. Well, owner busy.. So both my darling are "stay-in-doggies".

Anyway, Lizzie is a damn good girl.. Except for the part where she gets damn excited when she sees cats.

But Toffee that idiot. We hardly walked for 10mins, he started to rest his big fat butt as and when he finds the chance, and refused to budge. I got so damn irritated, not to mentioned embarrassed.. Coz the park is crowded, and people are staring at my"oh-so-cute" dog.

And so, less then 10mins later I was forced to take a u-turn back to the car. And that lazy bones cannot even bear till then. He actually go on a strike, and simple lie flat on the ground. So I got no choice, but to carry him.

His FAT kae.. A 6.5kg Shih Tzu.

His a certified overweight little brat by the vet..

So well.

I didnt get to fully utilize my 50cents parking coupon.

*sigh*

I was back in the car, driving off... 20min later.

Dear Bloggie,

I made a choice today.

Not on a moment of impulse I hope.

But somehow, I have a weird naggy feeling about it.

Did I made a wrong decision?

I am very sorry for my indecisiveness, even when I thought I made a decision, my mindset seemed weak and feeble.

How?

Dear Bloggie,

I am hooked on Facebook now.

Very hooked. But just on the pet's session. =)

All Jere's fault.

Take a look at my pet.

Hehe, I'm in the process of equiping it.

My cookie will definately outshine his Innocent..

Errmm.. Give me a bit more time. =p
