Sleepy

Waiting for an email before I can send out another email...

So tired. Don't know how I'm going to survive cell later. *yawn*

I've lost weight, but not at where I desire the most.

Losing patience

I've been praying for patience but don't think it's working.

The work environment is really trying my patience. Well, not just mine, even my next door neighbour who has survived 10 yrs in this place is finding that she's running low on steam. How do we work with someone who is so stubborn that he thinks the whole world revolves around him?

Just heard that my friend is making her 2nd job change. i.e. she's moving on to her 3rd job. an average person changes job seven times in a lifetime...

one day, when I find that I have no patience left to face this job, that's when I'll make my move too.

reminiscence

Honey Bee was telling me abt how he read my old posts and found that i've changed a lot since i started work...

Came across this post....
yesterday i met a guy who knows what he wants. He wanted to do Med but didn't get in on his first try. So he got an Engineering degree instead THEN apply for Med (which he got). And he wants to go into research or child psychology... wow... do guys at 27 always know what they want? like my other 27 yr old friend... actually i think he's 28 this year. Mebbe cos they have already "wasted" a couple of years in their lives so they know better. Will i end up going in circles for a couple of years too, before i finally figure out what i want? 

Kind of applicable to me now.

sickening

I can't believe HE went back on his word TWICE today. HE was so desperate and clean forgot what he said. Is the working world full of people like that?!

2nd post in 1 day in a long time!

I imagine if I ran around the house, i'ld hear my tummy swishing. which is not as bad as yesterday. yesterday it was swishing and rumbling even when i was sitting still.

I guess it's a gastric attack that wasn't treated properly at the first instance. Missed lunch on sat cos I was baking a cake while my dad had his third helping of breakfast, which btw, I think I didn't eat any of. But I'm pretty sure I must have eaten something else that morning... just can't remember what it was. =P

Missed Disa's farewell lunch today! Darn... It'll be harder to meet her next time when she moves to SubCourts becomes a DJ...

I have a feeling this won't be the last post of the day.

there's a virus in my room

My sis is still recovering from fever. I think i'm more or less done with fever but my stomach still feels unsettled. what does unsettled mean? it's not as painful as cramps but there's this nagging discomfort. Don't know if I should go and see the doc again. Saw him two nights in a row already. Hope I feel better after lunch.

Sick

Why? Possibly cos:

  1. sis spread to me
  2. lack of rest
  3. dehydration
  4. ran in the rain
  5. didn't have a proper diet
  6. stressed out by boss

Finally got a MC from my family doctor! at 38.3 deg C, which Doc said was very high...

Hisk's birthday celebrations

Things turned out quite well. =)

Despite the party being planned in about three days, managed to get abt half the FSBP to go for the chalet. Thanks to the following for turning up:

Harold, ZS, Josh, Nelson, Eirliani, Terk, Adeline, Yeen Teck, Ken, WJ, Denise, Ding, Diana, Wilson and Hisk's fren Merv.

Quick recap of what we went thru:

  • it started pouring when i got ther so poor harold n ZS had to dash in in the rain. =P


  • "big 2" w ZS and Harold: ZS was so lucky! only lost once...


  • mahjong: "5 of balls... 5 of bamboos"


  • watching Singapore Idol: can't believe we actually sat thru the whole show!


  • "7 deadly sins": was a nightmare trying to sort out the rules! at abt that time when Ken and Josh were suppose to act out their "sins", the birthday boy came...


  • the ice wine was great! the rest of the wine... eh... =P


  • at some pt in time, YT jiggled his gr*** in front of WJ.


  • birthday cake: a pity it lost its "alignment". prob happened while i was looking for a taxi to go to the chalet. we prepared the candles while the birthday boy went out for a smoke, turned off the lights and sang him a birthday song. wonder if he was surprised? anyway, poor adeline! almost got her fingers cut off trying to remove the candles!


  • thanks to victor, we gotta play twister! first time i played that! so fun! and YT was so good at manouvering his way!


  • soccer match: watched Germany vs Poland on Indonesia channel. =P that Ding ah! just went out the door, waved bye and went home! never say bye to everyone else!


  • stupid game: decided to test the game tt the pals played on NYE one yr. i think everyone wasn't too gamed at first cos it's a brainless game with no aim but i think to the end, everyone took to it. =P took so many photos of funny poses! and having someone's head resting on your thigh is the ultimate tickle!


  • the birthday boy was in a dictatorial mood and kept commanding ppl ard. after most ppl left, he smoked 4 cigarettes, became a beached whale and flopped off the bed. too bad we didn't manage to capture it on the video!


  • we went to stroll on the beach too... and the birthday boy climbed over the gate. can't believe he did that. can't believe he managed to do that. =P


  • almost fell asleep on the beach and on the way back, the birthday boy was flogging me like the horse cos of the towels i was carrying. -____-


  • sleep! the birthday boy fell asleep so fast! and produced a thunderous symphony. =P


  • when i woke up, i realised that i had "surround sound", but as Harold put it, the right speaker wasn't functioning as well as the left. LOL


  • Josh accidentally locked the toilet door after he used it and we had to go to the main lobby to use the washroom. luckily the chalet we booked was near the lobby... was raining so heavily this morning and was scared that couldn't get home in the rain.


  • talking abt ppl ard the office: we sure have lots of peculiar colleagues...


  • was so thankful that the SBS bus came quite quickly! cos if we had missed it, would have to wait another 20 min...


  • breakfast was disappointing!

everyone else went home by cab after that while i dozed off on the bus. =P Luckily, didn't miss my bus stop. was so stoned that i slept 5 hrs in the noon...

well... to sum up, hope that everyone had fun, esp the birthday "once-i-was-hunky,-now-i-am-chunky" "beached whale" boy. =P he wasn't really himself, or mebbe cos never really saw him around other his frens before? =/

anyway, may all your dreams and wishes come true!

One year on...

It's been a year since I started work. Pondering whether I should move on from this place, if I'll be able to survive the job. Eye bags getting bigger, eyes getting smaller. ARGH!

Thinking about going back to research but I'm doubtful if I can still catch up. And i'm such a blur klutz - sure end up contaminating samples. =P

On a happier note, joined waltz classes at work on Monday. Being swept off your feet is so fun! I think the company matters too - that the class isn't just for the older staff like most ppl think it is and the class is super on; two practice sessions every week on top of the class. Can't wait till they start Tango classes, but then again, will I still be here when they intro Tango?
