Having a break

I is having my long deserved break at last.

I’m feeling a lighter load on my shoulders right now. Seeing my “baby” 90% complete, and I’m ahead of schedule! – Ahead of schedule ‘coz the Project Manager didn’t update me on the latest timeline :S – So I’ve got another 2 days to do further testing and bug fixing =D

Finally met up with Leewei on Thurs night! Woohoo! Happy belated bday gal! A walk around Vivocity that night really made me feel like I’ve been living on the mountains. Serious.. it had been a long time since I went leisure walking, not to mention shopping! Finally cleared items off my wishlist!

It was 12midnight by the time I reached home.

Met up with the guys on Fri for lunch. Togi Korean Restaurant @ Mosque St. Yummy food. =D The mahjong session at Eric’s place was even better. Heh.. Very long since I last played with real mahjong, and the winnings was great even after splitting 50-50 with XW.

I must have been tired out. 10pm I was yawning like nobody’s business. Got knocked out by 11, waking up only at 10am this morning. For once I’m feeling so refreshed. Though not totally revitalised, the 11hr sleep helped.

Dinner with my SCE khakis today! Missed them so much! Korean food again *pengz* Why did they choose Korean BBQ when in the end we didn’t eat the food with the Korean spices? o.O It’s really great catching up with them!

Sunday now.. 12hrs later I’ll be on my way to my boss’s place. Calista Lui, that’s the baby daughter’s name, is having a baby shower session! Happy one month old Calista!

And she looks so sweet when she smiles! *melts*

In office for the 11th day tmr

Oops I’ve been gone for too long!

Been busy the whole week. Rushing a project which was originally tasked to 3 people, then to 2, now to one. And that’s me.

Was in office throughout the weekend. Plus late nights on Mon Tue & Wed. Been reaching home at 12midnight is starting to become a norm. =|

But I’ve no qualms about it. I love what I’m doing. Glad I’m given the opportunity to handle this project, to input my ideas. Also thankful for the opportunity to learn a new scripting language. =)

And so, I need my sleep now. I’m still available on msn though. SMS response will be slower. Time is too precious now =)

Freaked out

I almost freaked out when I had no internet access on Monday night.

Temporarily staying at uncle’s place while the whole family is enjoying themselves overseas at this moment.

I got so bored I sms-ed a colleague for entertainment. Though reluctantly, the colleague entertained me for a while. hahaha

Tuesday night was slightly better. Managed to hook on to the internet for a short while. The novels I got from the library deemed more interesting. It was a nice break from the internet world.

Tonight! I’m legally online! ‘Coz I found out where the modem/router is!

But then, I think I’m logging off in a short while. Would love another break from the internet world. =D

Tiring week

Seeing my updates for the week, which was done pretty often, it doesn’t seem like it was a tiring week right? Especially when you read it day by day.

Let me do a quick summary.

Monday
Spent morning waiting at the doc. Blur me told doc I don’t need MC. Reached office at 1pm, left office at 10.30pm. Reached home at 11pm.

Tuesday
Reached office at 9.45am, left at 11pm. Reached home at 11.30pm.

Wednesday
Reached office at ard 10am, left at 6.30pm for Centre Manager’s briefing at SDSC. Reached home at 10pm.

Thursday
Too tired. The many late nights was too much for my body to handle. Plus the irritating non-stop cough and the irritating throat. The body finally gave in to MC.

Friday
Reached office at 9.30am. Supposed to leave at 6.30pm for NH alumni meeting @ Clementi, looking at the amount of work I’m left with, decided to stay back in office to clear as much stuff as I can. Brain got stoned at 7pm. Went with colleagues to IT fair instead. After getting what L wanted to buy, went for dinner at 9.30pm. Finally reached home at 11pm. Received an email from a friend about this online story, got curious & went to take a look. Addicted, and finished reading what was on the site @ 2am.

Saturday
Woke up at 7 ‘coz the alarms couldn’t wake me up. Washed up as fast as I could, took a cab down to Crescent Girls Sch for SDSC flag day. Good job gals, most of the tins were heavy =) Was already 3.30pm by the time I reached office. Managed to clear what I wanted to clear on Friday, until L came in at 5.30pm. Haha.. Cleared more stuff, wrote down all my doubts that had to wait till Mon. Finally left at 7pm. Wanted to drop by IT fair again, but seeing the massive crowd @ Suntec, L went by himself instead. Waited pretty long for the bus, reached home only at 9pm. Instant noodles dinner at 10pm. Wrong choice.. still feeling so full now.

And I’m feeling so tired now. On top of the weekly Sunday routine tomorrow, I’m meeting Kid^Ken @ Parkway Parade tmr afternoon.

I need more energy to survive the next week.

Who’s reading this?

Really.. I’ve no idea who are the people reading my blog.

I update ‘coz it’s a way to vent my frustrations on, supposedly also a way to let my frens know abt my current status.

I much prefer it to be blog-when-I’m-in-the-mood kind, rather than one that’s topic based. Since I don’t always have a good topic to share, seeing that I’m such a mountain tortoise =D

Times when I thought of starting a food blog, one suggested by my immediate boss @ work, but thoughts of having to go around sourcing for good food turns me off. I don’t have the luxury to travel all around SG.

Also thought of making it a technology blog, but I’m not so tech-inclined. There are many others out there who outshine me.

Making it a kids related blog is also out of the question, where to get so much information to post?

haha.. Shall just leave it as it is.

Anyways…

was on MC today. Went to this clinic @ Gangsa that’s AVIVA covered. No queue. Freaking lousy service provided by the clinic assistant. Doc was quite alright, but he doesn’t seem to want to do a thorough check.

Mon’s doc was better, at another clinic @ Fajar. Though it was a long 1.5hrs queue, the doc’s so much better. Measured my blood pressure, and said that I’ve got faint heartbeat -.-!

Slept through the whole day today. The cough medicine is so strong, that I got drowsy in less than 2 hrs time. The first dosage, I slept for 4 hrs, 2nd dosage 2 hrs. Don’t think I can take the medicine tomorrow, else I’ll sleep @ work =

I think the 3rd dosage is starting to take effect.

垮了

真的垮了。连续两天加班到晚上十一点,今早就觉得不对劲。不停的咳嗽,喉咙也觉得怪怪的。

星期一早上在诊所里,只是想让医生看看如何把脚上的鸡眼除掉,却因为在诊所里呆了太久(我足足等了一个半小时!)而被周围生病的人感染了!无缘无故流了鼻涕!

终于轮到我看医生了。怎知道医生竟然说那不是鸡眼!叫什么wart的。其实我问过Uncle Google, 根据Aunty Wikipedia,我脚上的症状不像是鸡眼(corn)也不像wart。-.-” 不过医生还是给了药膏,说要先把脚上的那层皮刮掉,然后才把药膏涂上去。不过在把那层皮拔掉之前,得先把wart周围的皮“弄软”,才能轻而易举的拔掉它。那个过程得花上一个星期左右! 脚根已经很痛了,还要忍一个星期?!:(

巴不得那个wart能快点除掉,我要过我的正常生活! 走路一拐一拐的,不能打球、不能跑步,好辛苦!

公司里已有好多人病倒了,尤其是creative department 的同事。后来连我们technical team也被传染了。嗨。。

明天。。应该请病假,好好的在家休息吧!

肚子饿了!

许久没用华文写blog了。。

凌晨两点半,肚子开始觉得饿了!哈哈!

好久没去看五月天的forum,我竟然错过拿书本的时间!Oh my 天! -.-

好久没打badminton了!好像有点生锈(skills getting rusty, not that I’m a pro anyway)!

好久没吃subway了,今天的晚餐怎么好像比平时的好吃?

好久。。 哎呀不知该怎么继续这篇文章!

刚刚与中学同班同学在msn聊了几句。有时候人生就是那么奇妙。一个好久不见、好久没聊天的朋友,竟然能聊起了心事。。很庆幸有这么一位朋友,能让我在他(msn)面前,脱下面具,把心里的话都说了出来。谢谢你 ah beng! =)

不行了。。肚子好像越来越饿!

February 29th

How can I not leave a note on this day, since it’s the first time this date appears on this blog? =)

I find this day a special one, no particular incidents in mind. Just that since it happens only once every 4 years, why not make it special?

Finally finished watching Music & Lyrics. Thanks L for lending me the show!

Looking through the lyrics thoroughly this time round, I simply love it.

Quoted from the show

The melody is the first impression a person gives.

After listening to it, the lyrics bring out the full meaning of the song, the inner beauty.

Both the melody & the lyrics are equally important, as the combination is the person that you’re facing.

Not the exact phrase but something like that. Haha

Contribution to the society

It has been a long time since I last contributed to society.

SF sent me this link, asking if I’m interested in joining her.

Volunteering overseas

I’m so interested! But! I don’t have cash to spare! =(

Anyone wants to do help these kids but do not have the time to do so? How about sponsoring me? It’s a good deal. You give your $, I give my time. Let me know!
