BuzY @ Work..

Next month. actually 2 weeks (10/10) there will b a regional meeting in s'pore.. so boss very concern on how we should present ourself to those VIPs..

i've been busy doing and changing the slides again n again.. we took photos of our monitoring showroom.. the data centres.. update the layout..add this n that..i guess stil have changes.. today said wanna have another set of slides to show our facilities specifications.. blahh.. so add in more.. eyes so tired...

no chance for me to practise on what i've learnt from course..sob sob..

then.. boss assigned me to be the project manager for power upgrade in TC.. so hard to make people provide info.. have to chase n chase n chase.. siann.. i think i should well-equipped myself with the essential info else feel so lousy..with the experience in preparing the slides.. i have a better idea of our whole data centre layout n machines location..

sunday gonna go back to work again.. pheww.. 3 sundays in a row.. $ is good but tiring..

hope after the VIPs visit.. i can have proper time to sit with HA to work on the system.. this is wat i want..anyway boss already said will get me involved in this.. so just the matter of time..

work work work..but happy @ work lah.. not so bad...lallala..

FruiT juiCe..

my mum been so on with her healthy life style practises.. she goes exercise (yoga+body balance+pilates) every morning.. mostly elderly attend.. then drink vegetable juice daily.. the vege juice she made is of 5 greens
(1) green apple
(2) bitter gourd
(3) cucumber
(4) Capsicum
(5) celery

sometimes add in carrot too but not daily.

i've been drinkng this every mornign when mum around last week. so she keep reminding me to ownself prepare the juice. cos good for health..

but since i dun have time to do this in the morning.. so i can only prepare after work.. my sis also very on..

sometimes i add a bit of orange & tomatoes.. i never eat capsicum, bitter gourd & celery raw..cant stand the smell.. but when blender,, i can drink.. good.. wonder if i continue drinking like this will i b super healthy ? complexion mei mei ? haaa

courSe..

First time i attend course.. lunch is provided n u get to choose anything u wanna eat..and can even tabao cakes for 3pm break.. so cool..

all participants r from different banks.. feel so high level.. cos all talk bank language.. payroll...swift...K+.. market data.. security..auditing.. blahhh

all classmates r guys.. the instructor n myself r the only ladies.. feel so out of place..anyway. we manage to have some chatting time during break time n quite comfortable with those people..

there is this Bahrain guy from one of the bank in Bahrain.. he has been travelling all over just for this course.. n he seem very keen to make fren with me.. keep asking me to go Bahrain.. haaa.. maybe Asian lady is "new" to him.. this is first time he came to s'pore..

anyway.. i thk i will try to keep contact with those people. in case next time i wanna chang job.. i will have more contacts. heeee

today my x-col called said she resigned.. n as expected(exactly wat happened to me the last time) our stupid manager try to persuade her to stay.. well.. we all know his style.. i told her to decide.. cos if she already made up her mind.. then should not let the manager's word shaken her decision.. wish her all the best though.

tmw one more day on course.. then work again.. boss seem to have lots of workfor me already.. phewww..he very dependant on me.. even write minutes must ask me check before send out.. im on course lehhh... beh tahan..

My shoes collection...

i need a new pair of shoes..my mum always said i have many shoes.. but i always tell her.. not all nice to wear.. some bought already wear few times.. n i ended up always wearing the same few ones..

URS-bought cos i broke my shoes..so choose the nearest shoes shop to buy..love the bright colours..always been my favourite..old shoes now


URS-Bought this cos want something like slipper n can wear to work..seldom wear cos when walk it gives loud flip flap sound.. like aunty


URS-One of my favourite.. but the colour is very dull


I Cant recall where i bought this n not knowing the brand ..wear only when go interview cos black n covered..look formal when im wearing long pants


a bit like Vincci.. bought in one of the shops in Melaka ..bought cos like the white colour ..


Bought this cos it seems comfy but hor.. always have blister cos the strap very rough..


Vinci-very casual.. n bought during promotion.. vely cheap.. < rm 20


Vincci-Used to b my favourite. but need to throw away liao cos the sole started to give way


Vincci-My favourite.. the colour n design..perfect


bought this during cny.. maybe cos the colour.. haven wear it till now.. cos too pink


Bought this cos it looks so graceful.. like those ballet dancer.. but i have blister from it..now left untouched in shoes rack


Bought this in Bangkok few years back.. now only wear to ntuc in the morning.. heee

Sports shoes ( Nike & Brooks)
The only 2 sport shoes i wear to gym n running.. tot of getting a new one..



Charles & Keith-My new love.. favourite shoes to work



come to think of it.. i dun have much shoes .. so im think it's quite reasonable that i get a new pair.. lalallallaa..

WorKing mY waY towarDs...

Day one i joined this company..i find this is not the place i want... then i start to observe everyone's role..i find that there is no specialise role.. only one role attract me.. SWIFT Admin..

now.. im working towards this direction.. n lucky enough.. with my boss support.. i finally get to go for this course next week.. confirmed the attendance.. phewww.. finally..

so i shall really make sure i know this system which will be very helpful in my career in bank.. never know i can switch from IT (unix..servers..database..) to a bank system.. n the best is i dun have to pay a cent.. ghaaaa... what a wonderful world...

well.. like my boss said.. remember letter "T" but letter "T" with short tail.. which means take the shortest time to climb to the highest and then spend the rest of the time enjoying the result..

well.. i guess.. i dun mind taking a bit longer.. like the normal "T" to climb.. and enjoy the equal result ..

hope for the best.. i will be doing the system rotuing rules admin after my course.. lalallallaa.. i felt like the luckiest person in the world.. what have i done that i deserve this ?!? that make me wanna work harder for it.. motivation !!!..

Always presevre what u deserve to have..cos we dun get chances all the time.. n when u have it grab it...this applies to life..i hope i have grab all those come to me.. ghaaaa.. greedy..

AppLE iPod Nano...

hot gadget for the month.. now u almost cant get the 4G ipod nano in shops..out of stock .. if u want it.. make a pre-order and they will put u in waiting list.. phew.. so HoT ???



Im eager to get one myself.. but after some thoughts.. mm.. nehh.. forget it.. i dun need one anyway.. i rather sleep than listen to the repeated songs on my journey to work..n i may go deaf if listen too much cos i tend to tune the volume to very high..cos i love the feeling of just me n the music.. n no one else besides.. when u on the music loud n close ur eyes.. woah.. beSt of the world..

but easily deaf that way.. haaa..

iPod Mini will not be manufactured as it is superceded by ipod nano now....

cool stuff in town now...maybe i'll wait for ipod piko ?!? heee..

AppLE StrUDeL.. Yumm

First day back to work after 3 days course...n already lots of things to follow up.. n lotssss of emails..flooded

after checking emails.. read only important mails.. n do some of the work.. then boss said go makan..

We went down to Eastwood (Upper East Coast Rd) eat the Hong hong Street chinese food.. then desert at Ronaldo.. phew.w. the best Apple strudel we foun in s'pore so far...



Very nice.. n crispy..n it melts in ur mouth... the crispy skin of the strudel n the apple just melt once u put into ur mouth.. really shiok..



a bit x.. but if u r into desert.. this is really worth trying.. still feeling the strudel in my mouth.. yum...

P@ss DriVINg tHeOrY..

dun really have time to study properly.. always sleep on the book.. cos really really find it sooo boring..

this morning i already told Yong.. im goin to fail the test.. cos no confident at all. then i will have to go retake the test myself..cos i think he sure pass.. cos he sounds so confident..

then..afternoon.. i have conference..suppose to leave at 5pm as the test is 630 and have to be there by 615..n the test location is so far away from our office.. so no choice.. after the conference at 520.. rush back to office.. n together wif Yong we took a cab down to the test centre..

The cab fees alone already $17.70.. so to calculate.. the test is $6 ( cheaper than the cab fee) ...pheww..

so took the test.. luckily mine is considered easy.. so i finished in less than 20 mins.. double checked already.. so decided to submit.. immediately result is out on the screen.. "PASSED".. phewwwww.. wat a relief..

Unexpectedly.. Yong still doing his test.. waited abt 20 minutes.. he came out n said he failed.. i tot he is joking.. never know he really fail.. he said his very tricky..

well.. i guess he is unlucky lor..

Before the exam boss jokingly said .. to pass must burn the book n drink it.. so to play along wif his joke.. i send him an sms..

" Proven that no need to drink burnt book to pass exam"

and he replied " U r diligent is all i know ".. haaaa...see me so up..

happy...pass test.. smooth smooth.. can convert whenever i feel like it.. can sleep well tonight.. still have lots of work to do tmw onwards..

ohhh.. btw.. boss said i can claim my phone bill.. ghaaaaaaaaaa... can make more phone calls?? heee.. of course no lah.. i wont abuse my benefits.. come to think of it.. i may get more phone calls from office ?? bad sign...


May Buddha bless us all...

M@@N-CakEs...

tired of eating the normal traditional mooncakes.. this year i tried ice cream mooncake..very nice.. but if u r looking for the feel of the traditional mooncake.. then this may not be ur choice..

The ice cream mooncake simply taste like ice cream.. with pastry skin..nice nice.. i love it..i bought the durian n chocolate alomod flavour..my mum like it too.. yum yum..



The durian flavour



The chocolate almond



A different flavour of mooncake for a different mooncake festival this year.. why different ? mmm...not sure.. happier ? should be..

StifF neck..

really suffering.. been having stiff neck for nearly 2 weeks now..right side..at first i tot i din sleep properly.. so din really pay attention.. usually will go away i a day or two.. but never know drag all the way till now..

i tried to shift my pillow to the position that i think is comfortable.. still the stiffness remains...

i think my posture is not right when using the mouse in office.. try to sit straight now.. but still never help.. see doc.. they give cream n some muscle relaxer pills.. still not helping much..

my sis said im goin got get stroke.. i think she may b right..

but hor.. i exercise .. why still get stiff neck ? so unlucky.. cant lift my head when try to use the mouth wash in the morning.. pain....Arrrgggggg torturing..

yesterday JL help me rub those chinese medicine oil.. this morning seems better not pain .. but after my marathon.. came home. feel the pain again..

so evening i rub again.. n after nap.. seems ok again.. i guess tmw will feel pain again ? on n off.. so kek sim..

nvm, mum coming tmw she can help me .... HATE STIFF NECK...

MarAthOn iNg....

Been eating vegetables n fruits for few nights.. to detox.. feel healthier..

yesterday went jogging with Irene at ECP..she been complaining abt her job her life.. n she almost drown from her diving trip.. that made her decided to quit her stressful job n open up her own company so that she can do it on her own time.. own way..

well.. this is her life.. if she thinks this is a better way for her.. it's up to her...as fren and outsider..i just wish her luck and extend my help if she needs it..

sunday will go to the marathon with LS .. ger ger will tag along.. better else bored... will try to run as far as i can..LS ask if wanan join Standard chartered run.. i told him .. must see if i can run this sunday or not.. else forget it..


today we bought LS swenson ice crea, mooncake.. looks nice.. wanna buy when my mum comes next week.. miss her already..

NeW handPHONE ?

company is going to have SINGTEL roadshow with Corporate plan.. classic plan only $14 per month.. now im paying $22 per month.. originally is $28, deduct $6 for loyalty discount after more than 3 years..

But my current SINGTEL contract only 16 months (last upgraded in May 2004).. to get a new phone/new contract and enjoy the offer with the phone, i need to be on the contract for 21 months.. so in my case.. if i want to convert to corporate plan.. i have to top up $100 extra for the handphone set.. WAHH.. bo hua leehhh..

so i calculated..

option (1)

dun buy first, wait for another 5 months then get the corporate plan

BUT.. i really really wanted to chg a phone.. at least a phone with camera..n i like the Samsung phone in offer..

option (2)

convert my current Singtel line to corporate plan.. meaning i will have to top up $100 for the phone.. the samsung phone is $48 so in total.. i have to pay $148


option (3)

get a new singtel line.. so that i can buy the phone with $48 and pay extra $14 for the phone bill for the next 5 months.. which calculated to be $118 altogether

so if i die die want to buy.. option (3) is better ?? arggggggggg.. how how ? want to buy or not ? having extra line a bit wasted lehhh...

The samsung phone im eying..

Trying to pass the conversion test n that's it.. keep it in the drawer.. hope i dun have to drive.. but maybe when im old n retired.. like my mum. i may need to take care of myself.. so i may need to pick up driving again.. so still useful..

why in life we need so many tests? exams? boring... zzzzzzzzzzz.....

W.E.E.K end liao...

How time flies this week..just monday.. n tmw is friday.. cool.. love this week.. and i have been eating too much AGAIN..

Mon: Fish & Chips
Tues: FIsh & Chips
Wed: Turtle Soup
Thu: N.Y.D.C

I hope tmw i can eat normally.. first time i tried turtle soup.. my boss recommendation.. it tasted normally.. like normal chinese heb soup.. but after about 3 to 4 hours .. i have 2 big pimples pop up.. n i feel warm inside..how heaty this soup is.. my mum said it is good to clean blood.. but i guess my body needs time to adjust to this..

so i start to have headache in the evening.. tot of going gym after work.. but headache.. so no choice.. go home n sleeepp.. drink lots of water n sleep through the night

luckily im ok this morning.. phewww.. tot will be sick..really heaty stuff..anyway.. a bit cruel to eat turtle.. i ate its meat.. n some slippery stuff.. my boss said this is the BEST part from beneath the shell.. a bit like cuttle fish but much softer..

MUST go exercise tmw or weekend.. else will be Tua Pui Po very soon...!!! healthy life style.. healthy life style..

WhY Do wE neEd MonDaY...

simply cant thk right on monday.. just like something not there.. missing of something.. cant work on monday...100% not on working mood...

today CC on urgent leave.. so i have to do lots of service requests..then boss dunno why.. bring us to Fish & Co for lunch.. so good.. people monday bluess.. he monday also so On..

then after lunch.. he went meeting.. luckily have requests to do else really sleep...then after boss came back from meeting.. ask me to do some stuff.. then he starts again.. said he wanan groom me lah.. wanna turn me perm.. will increase salary to me.. blahhhhh... he always say all these but hor until now im still contract.. talk n no action.. anyway.. dun care too much.. so long as i have my salary n i get to learn some useful thing im ok with the current situation..


then Tom n Jen came for their shift.. again.. lots of gossips .. sometimes i thk.. why people must have so much to gossips abt their own cols.. how they wanna 'revenge' to the col that somehow said things that hurt their feelings n so on.. if everyday also keep wanting to revenge then we will get older faster n not happy.. no motivation to come to work..

i rather dun care too much.. come to work happily m smile to everyone.. n even just talk some rubbish also happy.. sometimes i jst thk.. no need to be too serious abt many things.. can overlook.. then overlook..

still very bluesss.. guess im gonna have an early night today.. sleep through monday n tuesday will be better.. i Hope..

GonE fiShinG..

sat we chanced upon this restaurant when we were on our way back from little Guilin hiking.. suh said she read abt this restaurant in the newspaper abt the owner who invested on this restaurant out of interest..cool place i must say.. very different and with all the scribbles on the wall it allows dinersto leave some words n memories behind..

here r some pics taken in the restaurant..thos drawings r by our dear Jia.. not bad at all.. g



closer look...

SunDay.. n WorkING..

really sian to work on sunday.. esp when there isn't any interesting people around.. no handsome cols.. no nice story to hear.. boring..

so i learn to do migration with Jeff..general steps..he still do a lot of checking which he said for safeguard.. anyway i do my own stuff.. till abt 630pm.. later than weekday.. carry laptop to work. so heavy ..stupid compaq..

WeEkend AgaIn.. HapPy..

woah.. this week is very long.. like never ending.. not very tired but just seems to be extra longer than normal week.. dunno why..

Let's see.. wat have i done..Yong not around so i've done quite a lot of db restoration, then do boss's assignmnet.. statistic lah.. doc lah.. templates lah..minutes lah..went to visit col's wife.. she's been hospitalised for 3 weeks.. skin problem.. infection or something that now there r 3 deep holes on her leg.. really painful n sad to see..

recently, company has lots of internal courses for us to attend, Boss send the email to me first.. what an honour. so i choose what i want to go. He then email to others, said give me priority.. mm. wonder why he so good..he mentioned that he thinks im always doing "right" thing.. eg, on our tuesday jogging, i went to look for him ..haaa..

n our ECP bbq Tom decided to invite him, it's in Nov.. he said we clever cos Nov is his b'day.. actually we din plan to do it on Nov but cos sept n oct others cant so we no choice choose Nov.. coincident only..anyway, he is very happy cos previous years he is never been invited.

cool, seems like my presence give them some colour.. one flower among the leaves n thorns ? haaaa.. anyway.. i felt pampered by them sometimes.. nice feeling but MUST always tell and remind myself.. im not there to play n have fun only.. im working.. i must not degrade myself.. Must take this opportunity to pick up n learn more things to value add myself.. cos i may not stay here forever ? never know.. so better always well-equipped myself with some brainy stuff.. dun want to be empty vessals....


Tmw weekend. but only 1 day.. sunday go back to work.. migration.. only Jeff around.. so i must take this opportunity to learn.. cos i find that i can only learn when one of them not around.. else usual day they will do it all..

tmw will go Suh's place.. hopefully we will have fun..enjoy life to the fullest!!!
