HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRINCESS DI!

One week on

It always feels weird a week after a big party. Cos right after that, life goes back to normal - u slave at work all day. When the next weekend, there seems like a vacumn where your previous weekend was.

It's a really hot day... should be going swimming. Anyone for Wild Wild Wet?

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?

Getting fat

had buffet on fri night and yesterday noon and just had a 6-course dinner. =P

went out w 3 sec sch frens on fri night. one was talking about buying condos le... wah... then the four of us went arcade to play. didn't really expect to play but shooting games really quite fun! haha... and played daytona too! so long never play le. lucky wasn't last. hehe. also got mario karts!

coming to a yr at work le... should do a proper review of what i have/not accomplished...

A revival

Would appear as if my blog has revived. =P

Had lunch with a friend from my NUS days yesterday. Hadn't seen him in 2 years although we would chat online occasionally. Made me realise that I really should discipline myself to keep in touch with my friends on a regular basis.

Yesterday, someone commented that some ppl get so involved with their bf/gf that they don't really bother with their friends anymore. I hope I'm not like that, although I wonder if I would arrange to meet these friends more frequently if I wasn't attached.

--------------

Yesterday's sermon was about doing community work. The pastor quoted several verses from the Bible about how we should help the poor and stand up for them:

Psalm 103:8
Isaiah 41:17
Deuteronomy 15:7-11, 14-15, 17-22
Proverbs 14:31, 19:17, 21:13, 31:8-9
Acts 2:44, 4:34, 11:28

If you don't have a Bible, you can read the verses off the internet.

The pastor also read testimonials of the "poor" - defined as those who were in pain, in need or under-privileged... The experience was quite stirring. The pastor ended with a call to ask those who wanted to commit at that instance to help the poor when the opportunity arises. I was tempted to stand but held back by thoughts of how busy I was and would be. Although the pastor had said that busyness should not be an excuse, I couldn't help but let it pull me back. But the sermon definitely made me realise that I could do more to help others.

1 John 3:18
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."

Chihuahua

Chihuahua
No bones about it, you're an energetic, devoted Chihuahua. For your breed, size definitely doesn't matter. After all, sometimes the best things (diamonds, car keys, Godiva truffles) come in small packages. Honest and straightforward, you're never afraid to speak up for what you believe in, especially if it's a cause near and dear to your heart. Having such a passionate personality can come with a few drawbacks, though. You can be moody at times, and people often find it hard to live up to your high standards. But once you make a friend, it's for life. Saucy and intense, your energy and unfailing loyalty make you a great companion. Woof!

Drained

that's me. feel so drained at work. cos of the never-ending stream. someone asked me when my next tour would be. i wonder...

really... a new post!

Got back from Sri Lanka last weekend. Is having more than one blog the rage these days? haven't been able to update my blog in Sri Lanka cos the programme was kind of tight... Sleepy...

another snippet of my life...

yesterday, SRCS' Col Lim said I'm very different from when we first met in July... and that he always tell ppl how he was more senior than me but acted as my slave in the Maldives, helping me lug my laptop everywhere. =P

I suppose it's a change for the better cos he says he only says good things about me. Made me feel really blessed cos there are people like him and Iris around at work who make u feel like the working world isn't that bad.

The boss is going away and a new boss is coming in. Wonder if he'll realise that my portfolio keeps expanding and try and get another FSO in to help out?

A new post!

Back from Bhutan... check this out while I come up with the next post:
