i was having my year end holiday @ Koh Samui.
now i’m sick. yucks.

Is your TGIF like this?

or is it like this?

sometimes it’s nice to have a colourful one.
sometimes it’s warm to have a monotone one.

A Conversation
“do you like surprises?”
“yes, who doesnt?”
“how about a earthquake? it’s considered a surprise too!”
“NO, it’s a shock, not a surprise”
“it’s considered a surprise. cuz you dun know what you are expecting!”
“Noooo…. that’s why we have the 2 words – surprise & shock. surprise = happy/welcome type of unexpected. shock = bad/unwelcome type of unexpected.”

does surprise/shock equate to change?
everybody prefers to have a positive type of change i.e better job/pay/house/car/bf/gf/boss

“i am being tolerated for a very long time.
i am unappreciative of the given opportunities.
i am difficult to work with.
i am only good in operational work.
i am horrible @ strategy.”

i become band 5 (lowest grading) overnight.
All due to an incident.

i decided to be indifferent to everything and everybody.
i dread going to work.
i get irritated by a voice.

i will remember your words.
i can either make you eat your words back or quit the job & make the entire team suffer.

time to update resume.

how are you, ginger?

recently i’ve been thinking alot about holidays.
supposed to find an island to chill but couldnt find one that i will set my mind on.

boracay was brought up again. and dropped again.

Korea seemed to be the magnet now.
with its dawn-dusk-dawn shopping.
with its yr-end winter.

but i’m thinking of HK too.
i’ve got cousin & friends & vendors in HK.. and also my frog prince. haha

there’s also a nagging demand of another branded bag purchase on my mind.
MONEY NOT ENOUGH!

somebody buy me a money tree, plsssssss!

lolligoespop thinks she misses winter. Not the bitter cold but e cooling cold.
This was my 1st thought the min i touched down on 18 july.

1 month later i have the same thoughts.

Lolli is flooded with 1 month old memories.

walking down memory lane with my writings & photos.
this combination has proven to be very fatal for the heart.

i can recall what i did everyday.
15 July :: Green Ford :: Climb Tree :: Giant Chair :: Yummy Pies :: Miss Marples :: Long drive :: Philip Island :: Penguin Parade :: Realised a blunder abt departure from Melbourne

my writing allows me to feel how i really felt on that very day.

This very day, 6 August 2007, I stepped into SingTel office at SingPost.
I’ve come a long way.
These past years I’ve been buried with work.

Stress.
Short timeline.
Ridiculous targets.
Fabulous boss.
Re-orgn.
Always on the ready to fight war/attack.
Newspaper exposure.
good & bad ways.
I lost many things along the way but also gain many which is essential to survive @ work.

managed to put together some photos taken during the 2 years @ work. i aged grew up along the way.

my 1st SingTel Xmas Fair :: @ Duty

SingTel – SE Traffic Jam party :: Daughtry in town!

SingFest 08 :: PCD / Alicia Keys / Jason Mraz / Travis (also my breakup)

Midem 09 :: work brought me to my 1st Angmoh land – Cannes, France

SingTel AMPed Launch :: Lady Gaga in town!

Concerts i was invited ::
Kylie Minogue / Wang Lee hom / A-mei / Fall Out Boy / Pussy Cat Dolls / Gary Cao /Kanye West
Rihanna / Eason Chan / Jacky Cheung / Y2J / Will Pan / Da Mouth

i am thankful for the perks that came with the job.
i am happy with what i’ve been doing.

:: 1st day @ work ::
i felt so lost. everybody’s like “YOU ARE BACK!” but i felt like a lamb.
all i was thinking is for them to go easy on me.
NAH. FAT HOPE!
i’m caught in the midst of action again.

:: 2nd day @ work ::
continuation of lost-ness + tabao lunch.
how long can i stay lost?

nonetheless, i tell myself to remain at peace for work and also balance work & life.
it’s time i find LIFE.
sometimes it’s just unavoidable to sink oneself into work.
WRONG. it should be most of the time it’s unavoidable to sink oneself into work.

lastly, i want to cruise at work.
i DO NOT want to be part of the rat race.
i’m tired.
*wish me luck*

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

with exactly 1 week to the launch of my project which i’ve been working on for almost 1.5yrs, this is the toughest period.
no wrongs/mistakes can be tolerated.
any of it would lead to finger-pointing.

in fact, hell already broke loose among working level, middle management and top management.
and so a painful experience.

i really wonder if my 3.5 wks holiday is enough to heal my mind and body.
mind’s overloaded with work, follow ups and nonsense war with colleagues.
body’s in a fatigue mode.
though tired, i couldnt sleep within minutes.

that’s all for now, folks!

last night,just after trying very hard to explain if one is 有心 in a r/s, i ponder abt mine.
i ponder abt mine in 2 ways.
1. am i 有心?
2. is he 有心?

define 有心, you may ask.
to me, it’s the smallest action/thing that you do for the r/s which sometimes will go unnoticed or taken for granted.
it could be:
- showing a big smile when u meet at the end of a day.
- waiting
- not allowing the other to wait too long.

i think i am but a tiny little incident disappointed me today.

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.

tonight, i am reminded of how much i miss holidays.
holidays are my only source of getaways from work.
no emails.
no smses.
no calls.
no timeline.

i miss bintan. VERY MUCH.

i miss koh samui. VERY VERY MUCH.

i miss HK.

i’m getting bored of my current hairstyle (side-swept fringe + wavey/curled hair)
p.s it has only been 1 month

probably wanna re-visit having bangs.
i’ve nvr tried bangs + wavey/curled hair

so i found this photo to remind myself of how i look with bangs.

not bad la..
at least something different.

let me go do it when i need to relieve some stress! wahahaha..

After many years of following Cleo’s 50 bachelors contest, i have to say 2009’s bachelor is such eye candy!
utterly eye-pleasing! to me

well, he’s a model, to begin with.
So of course, he fits perfectly in the contest.
