  • i don't want to fall sick!

    i suddenly felt sick at work (headache, very tired, feel like throwing up) and so i took a half day off. have to go back to compensate for the other half of the day, but i guess it's still a good idea to leave. wasn't feeling good and productivity was down to almost zero. besides there was something wrong with my pc and i just can't get work done as a result.

    i got home and slept for 3 hours straight. still tired and feeling a bit wierd and off-normal, but i'm better than this morning. please let me get well asap. hopefully i can wake up tmr morning feeling really good and fresh (and let it remain that way the entire day). i have a kl trip this weekend and i don't want to get sick now. super wrong timing. already missed tonight's team dinner.

    it's back to work once again tmr.

  • solo sunday night shopping.

    i got h to drop me off at orchard for some solo shopping. haven't been there alone for a very very long time. anyway h is attending his boss's wedding reception at le meridian, so i have a few hours to do whatever i like. after only 30 mins i bought a new bag. there's a sale and i just can't resist the temptation. h had to sms me and say "reserve some power for kl" haha. can't believe that i actually left it in the car and forgot all about it till a few mins ago. kind of lazy to get it from the car now.

    in the end i didn't buy a lot. one bag, 2 bottles of mints from muji, 2 magazines from kinokuniya. that's it. i walked a lot today in my very high heels though. and i think i may be getting a small blister because of that. heels are nice looking but they really kill you.

    that's the two of us at haagen daas (holland v) at 10 plus. didn't get a chance to take a full body shot. h was wearing white pants and i like the look. after all i chose the pants. lol.

    it's time to sleep! :)

  • More RW memories.

    i'm still going in on tuesday to help the banking front office team with some database stuff, but still, my internship has come to an end. i feel more like a temp. :) so here are some of the remaining photos that remind me of my stay with them..

    DSC03945

    i look like shit on the last day actually. i look sleepy and tired. still, a. insisted on taking photos.

    Image011

    one of the events i helped out in. at least a month back :) it's a movie screening.

    Image014

    one of the lunches i had with my mum and sister at tcc. it's not bad but it's so "garlic" i can't stop eating mints after that.

    Image000

    and my fav auntie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll miss her when i leave the place for good. ignore my very tired and messy look. i just came out of the store, helping them to arrange and pack 500 mugs. anyway the above photos are taken with my hp and not my camera. so ignore the quality please.

    i dropped some colleagues an email thanking them for their guidance. and i added "you can't get rid of me. i'll be back". and f said it sounded too scary haha. oh well. i'll be back!

  • wonderful saturday night.

    it's mid week and i'm talking about the previous saturday haha. i'm quite busy the past few days.. didn't even come online to check my emails. anyway, i'm going to post some photos i took on saturday night :)

    DSC03912

    on our way to dempsey's red dot brewhouse on saturday for dinner. the beer was nice! i think it's a good place to gather a few friends and start catching up.

    DSC03914

    the food isn't bad too. not very cheap, but you always have to pay for ambience.

    DSC03915

    after that we went to zouk a little too early. the lighting was bad so the photos didn't come out well.

    DSC03925

    we were there so early we found seats and started taking photos to wait for the crowd to come in.

    DSC03926

    i love candles. made him pose with the candle.

    DSC03929

    the music wasn't too good. got better as the night progressed but could have been better still. and that's one reason why we left 'early' that night. we drove to mount faber for the night scenary. the other reason being h has soccer early next morning.

    DSC03938

    i know the photos aren't spectacular. maybe it's a hint for me to get a new camera! haha.

    i had lots of fun and i can't wait for the next one!

  • last week at work.

    well i mean i have one more week to go. next friday is my last day. mm i will miss the people there.. the culture isn't bad.. anyway i love the toilet auntie a lot!!! i'll miss her like nuts! arghs.

    this week passed like a breeze. busy with quite a bit of stuff, so time passed faster. anyway i've sort of finished my stuff at the hr side and i'm now with the banking front office team. seriously i don't understand banking at all! it's french to me. i really like finishing what i've started, but i know it's impossible. yj even suggested that i extend my stay haha. i still want my holiday la.

    it's k's birthday a few days back and we had a little surprise for her. she had her best bday ever cos she made some placements that day, and her husband sent really beautiful roses over! super sweet!

    IMG_0592

    we booked a meeting room and before that we all pretended to forget that it's a special day.

    IMG_0594

    these are the flowers we got for her. she got a separate big big bouquet from her husband. both bouquets are so beautiful!

    IMG_0598

    j took all these candid shots. these two days we've been chatting and i realized she's quite similar to me! she's libra too and we're of the same age, just fyi.

    IMG_0599


    we spent half an hour away from our desks and it was a laughter-filled session. r. came in (not in the photos) and she made us laugh like crazy.

    IMG_0602

    the entire team.

    i must admit there are moments i really felt like i'm dying in front of the screen. but of course there are nice moments too. anyway i have lots of lunch appointments next week, including one with my favourite auntie. i hope she remembers! gonna take photos!!!!!

  • soccer sunday.

    it's sunday once again and h's all excited about his soccer game. it's just a usual sunday game, but he's always keen and enthusiastic about them. even though he was on the night shift on saturday and haven't got any rest for a very long time. i tagged along on sunday cos it's at fico.. no direct sunlight and there's pavement/chairs for me to sit on. i like that.

    DSC03896

    because the sun was so bright (around 12 noon), my pictures are really dark. but never mind. i shall post them nonetheless.

    DSC03905

    was trying to test out my high speed shutter function. was so tempted to get a digital slr camera cos i'm so into taking photos. even though i'm not a professional. the only thing that's keeping me back is the size of the camera haha. anyway i saw a few fine lines on my camera.. "scratches". actually they are the result of usual wear and tear. even though it's outdated i still can't bear to say bye bye to it.

    DSC03906

    goalkeeper h. he's funny as a goalkeeper. he's usually focusing on his own game.. until he becomes the goalkeeper. suddenly turns noisy and starts "giving orders" to people haha. entertaining to watch.

    DSC03903

    i wonder how the photos will turn out if i used a digital slr camera and if i'm more professional haha. anyway my sis got a new sony camera. argh. because it's free. my mum paid for it. %$#$#$!%!. and i paid $800 for my own. as always. oh well.

    DSC03898

    this shot is funny! like someone trapped behind bars. looks like some anti-drug or anti-crime commercial. cos his face is blurred. haha.

    anyway i've already informed h that if he's going there for soccer in future, i'd love to go along. btw it's such a coincidence.. we drove into the carpark and we saw his bro at the roadside ready to go into fico. when h's soccer ended we purposely walked right beside his bro's court and he started yelling at his brother, attempting to say he's lousy. one day they should have a game against each other. that will be fun to watch hehe.

  • the weekend.

    my weekend was filled with food and more food! saturday i had bak kut teh, and sunday i had buffet at marina square. (btw i had buffet again.. today for lunch haha) saturday night was quite irritating, all thanks to the lack of entertainment. other than that, the weekend was quite nice. here are some photos:

    DSC03888

    this is h and his nephew. at the buffet place at marina square.

    DSC03891

    h's brother with his nephew. seriously h and his brother resemble each other a lot. the way they talk and behave at home.. and the way they look especially when they were much younger. like duplicates.

    DSC03890

    everyone was happily eating and he was feeling restless and crying towards the end cos he wants milk and he wants to sleep. poor boy haha.

    DSC03893

    and this is his sis. horror. we were trying to take a photo, and she actually took her baby brother's fingers and bit them for no reason. and the baby started crying really loud. she's really hard to please... anyway yesterday we picked her from school and she kept repeating "i angry now" in the car. hilarious. nobody irritated her or anything. where did she learn that anyway haha. the school teaches "i angry now"?? lol.

    DSC03892

    that's the both of us. anyway i'm tempted to go marina square to shop sometime soon hehe. we caught a movie on sunday night too.

    here comes the last photo.. nothing to do with the weekend actually. we had a "intern lunch" on monday and here's a rare group photo..

    DSC03894

    i think i look small beside yj cos he's a rugby player haha. they're all really friendly. fortunately! :)

  • currently feeling a bit lazy and tired.

    1. i didn't go for netball today. seriously not feeling well. i really will die on the court.

    2. i sat in an interview today. it's really interesting. get to observe and learn. but the problem is, i'm a walking zombie today. my brain was fried.. i stumble on the phone, i react super slowly. good news is, i'm taking leave tomorrow. for the honours year briefing actually.

    3. haven't watched a single euro game. the other day h was at my place and we intended to watch together.. but then when the alarm sounded he just turned it off and went back to sleep. anyway i called my grandma to chat at around 10pm.. 1 minute into the chat i already noticed that he's soundly asleep. he must be really tired. btw he's going to speak to his boss about going to the day shift. hope it will be realized soon.

    4. i went to the butter factory for some site visit and i learned that they are looking for a marketing executive. i told sg about it, but by the next day they already hired someone. sg's now telling me she's keen on selling investments.

    5.  i have 3 more weeks to the end of my internship. 4 more to my kl trip. which means 5 or 6 more before school reopens once again.

    6. h and i are keen to see the new iphone. i don't have intentions of changing my phone yet, but the new iphone is a good catch. compared to the old one, which doesn't have 3g and is twice as expensive. so i started browsing singtel shop... it's not there yet. but the htc touch diamond and touch cruise caught my eye. h says they break down easily though.

    7. i. asked h if a honda city is good. then we started talking about car shopping. it's really fun! certainly don't mind doing that again.

    8. i've been telling everyone i want to go ktv for a very long time. but i guess it will never come true.

    9. i need to reschedule all my medical appointments soon.

  • half-way mark.

    i was looking at my calender and i realized today is the half-way mark of my internship! exactly 1 month earlier i started my internship, and it will end exactly one month later. i'm not too keen for school to start because that means the projects and exams are on the way.. but i'm really keen for internship to end because it means kl trip 2 is coming!  btw  i sometimes wonder what all my friends are doing... i know some of them are working.. and i wonder if they enjoy their work or they just take up some temp job for the money. some are slacking.. makes me wonder how they spend each day too. hmm i must make sure that i really get a lot out of the internship stint. :)

    anyway. i have the sudden urge to do some exercise cos i feel unhealthy. haven't been exercising for some time. and after a morning jog my legs are already aching a little. i think i'm old. i must keep it up!!! i'm not trying to lose weight.. i'll still eat whatever i feel like eating because life is bland without good food. argh. i'm hungry now.

    i think i'll be catching lots of movies for the next few weeks. seriously cathay should make me a vip haha.
