when I’m here at this time of the day

when I’m supposed to be at work

when you can see that I’m just typing nonsense

when I’m trying to fill up the space here

when I’m finding things to do just to kill time

when.. I ran out of what to rabble about

LOL

First day back to work. Decided to go back to ex-co when they asked me if I’m interested in joining them again. Why not, since I’m already familiar with the environment and procedures.

A 2-hr meeting early in the morning drained me off. LOL. It’s nice to see ex-colleagues again, though there’re only about <10 familiar faces now.

Mundane afternoon. Spent the remaining hours doing research on my own, on a new technology. Seriously it’s so tiring surfing net for information, that I kept dozing off.

At the end of the day, the recep brought this in to my table:

So sweet of them!

Being too bored, here’s a view from my desk.

View at the other side is better. It faces the river. =D

Since boss will be away for reservist till next week, I only managed to catch up with him via msn at night.

Boss: girl, need to get up to speed with your ASP okie. my engine will be your baby.
Me: asp or .net?
Boss: asp
Me: asp is ok for me, still fresh
Boss: good. get as much out of it as possible from M. No change yet, just know what it is and how it’s developed. (it’s an in-house application done years ago)
Me: I already briefly know how it works.
Boss: I got 2 words for u okie
Me: yes wat?
Boss: meticulous and comprehensive.
Me: o.O

It’s always nice to know you have an encouraging and motivating boss around!

‘如果你真的要离开我，可不可以用五十年的时间慢慢地离开？’

A phrase from a story I watched just now. Nothing special from it, just thought of sharing =)

Keeping a positive outlook in life. A good way of self-motivating I’d say. One that helps to keep yourself going, irregardless of whatever challenges you may face. Admit your mistakes and you’ll be able to better-face yourself. Like a quote which I used to use: Experience is the name people give to mistakes. Learn from whatever mistakes you’d made. If you think that you’ve procrastinated for too long, get out of it. Start a new life all over again. Success doesn’t come with one try. It takes many falls before one really becomes successful in life, depending on which aspect of life you’re looking at.

Dedicated to my dearest friend K. I know life had not been smooth for the past one year, but bear in mind that fruitful days lie ahead. You’ll definitely succeed if you continue to work hard!

=)

You should have figured out by now that I’m freelancing. And it’s never ending. They should get a full-time html-er to do the work. They can’t expect me to be on standby the whole day right? ><” Ridiculous.

Been on it for the whole day today, when I skipped office work as I woke up not feeling too well. Finally a break, and work has not ended.

How on earth do I find time to write my conference paper then?

Monday.

Just done with maple. PQ has killed me 3 times. LOL.  I shall not lead a pq pt anymore. NOOB.

Mayday concert was great!! Had a great workout! Kept jumping throughout the whole concert. FUN! Let’s all leave the earth! No special guests this time, Masa sang solo – Yellow and a song that he composed. Someone requesed Guanyou to sing solo for 1 phrase of a song. What else.. ahha.. I just love them!

After-effect: whole body aching today! ><”

As of now, my muscles are still aching. Especially the stomach muscles. It just shows that I need to get more athletic. Speaking of sports.. someone teach me how to swim!! Despite 4 yrs in ntu, my various swimming coaches gave up on teaching me. =(

Been mapling for too long. Shoulders aching!! boo!

Shall do a bit of blog surfing b4 I hit the pillow. Oh my bolster is having pimples all over its body. Time to throw it away!

Busy the whole day doing freelance, finally a sigh of relief when I sent the final set of files at 12am. 13hrs of work! From a set of 5 changes, increased to dunno how many. Changes just kept coming in. Spent my day in school SCR, enjoying the aircon while doing work. Hee!

Feeling dead tired. Aching shoulder!

Journal’s getting on fine, urgently needed is the conference paper, due Wed. Journal’s due end June. Sounds exciting when I hear that I get to present if my conference paper is selected. XD Though it’s free labour, it’s still an exciting process, especially when I’ve been procrastinating since day1. Good learning experience! Gambatte!

Encouragement given to continue with the experiments! Motivation!*that someone couldn’t remember seeing my name in the non-all-clear list*. woohoo! No guarantee, but a good motivation!

Oh by the way.. it’s confirmed that *that someone* doesn’t know that I’m talking about him. So interesting. =D

I’m tired. But I still want to play maple. It’s public holiday tomorrow after all.

I initially had loads of stuff to write, after being absent for 4 days, and now I’ve much more to write on after reading Cheryl‘s blog. This is probably going to be quite a random post, depending on what I can remember I want to blog on.

Starting with the most fresh thoughts.. Cheryl’s blog. LOL. Jiawen’s friend, my junior from Nan Hua. (Not that I’m going to introduce her here lah.. hahaha) But her entries reminded me of my days @ NH. Sec sch life is definitely fun! I miss those days =( NH’s 90th anniversary dinner is coming. Glad that a lot of current students are going (wonder why they are such rich kids, $100 per person! gosh), but none of my friends are going (minusing off my alumni khakis) LOL.  Freaking expensive! Same venue as 10 yrs ago when I was still in sec 4, price increased by 40 bucks! Inflation? by 66%? siao.  Not worth my money I’d say.

Next up. I’ve been busy at work, that by the time I reach home, I don’t feel like touching my laptop at all. Journal was KIV-ed coz I was already so tired after work, that I don’t feel like using the comp anymore. And my mapling hours has drastically decreased. Boo!

Finally gotten jkai’s book! Thanks WK for helping me get from Taiwan!

Aching all over now. Been a long time since I last had a badminton session! Woke up late, driver woke up late also. LOL. A supposedly 2hr session @ Jurong West Sports Stadium got reduced to 1hr. And a hearty breakfast brunch @ Jurong West St 52 after that! Toiletries shopping then back home. Did a bit of journal experiment in the afternoon, almost dozing off in the process. Dead tired.

Family dinner that night! Fun dinner! It’s always great to gather up with my cousins! The youngsters table was the best! Hahaha! Oh Jiayun your scrunchie’s still with me. LOL.

Slept pretty early. Think the sun rose from the west. hahaha! I had a nice 10hr of sleep at last.

So today was spent.. doing journal experimenting again. Hoping to get all experiments done before I start officially on journal writing.

Photos will be up when I’m much free-er to do editing. =X

Ciaoz.

ps: seems like there’s not that many things to blog on at all. Is my life that boring? =

My legs have officially complained that they are worn out from the consecutive 2 days of walking around in heels. Interviews, interviews and more interviews = blisters, blisters and more blisters.

Went shopping in office heels on Monday. Yeah kill me. hahaha.. But since I was in the area after the interview, I did some necessities-shopping before going home. On the bus back, no idea why it was packed at 4+pm,  I stood all the way. Worse is, the 2 aunties were holding on to the seat-handle tt I was holding on to. I already was trying to balance myself with my stuff le, and they had to keep moving closer to me! haiz.. Then I was forced to keep stepping backwards lah! And had to use the hanging handle instead. I almost killed the 2 aunties lah! Cannot stand properly meh? Both of them were holding on to TWO seat-handles lor! ><

3 blisters when I got home.

Yesterday! Another interview @ bugis area. Decided not to wear those office heels coz my toes were in pain lah.. Had to wear open toe heels. Hahah.. Walked over to SLS area to deliver some documents, then walk to Bugis Junction and back to SLS again. pain pain! And I kept asking budz to walk slower coz I really couldn’t walk fast. LOL.

3 new blister when I got home.

And so today, no interviews until next week! phew! I’m finally back to wearing my comfy slippers!

I’ve decided, prolly I need a new pair of more comfy office shoes.

literally translated word for word. LOL.

I realise I always get the runs when I’m at a new environment. Remembered the first day I worked at NUS 9 yrs ago, the first day of my internship @ Cisco Systems, first day of work @ my full-time companies, first day @ Hall 15, first day of IA @ Canon. And now first day @ uncle KT’s office. ><

Btw, my original previous entry mentioned that I’m currently helping out at uncle’s company =) and that’s why Thurs/Fri is impt to me. LOL

I hear that I’m expected to do more updates oO Well.. nothing to blog about work life, except that I’m expected to know everything, including any tweeny weeny details of the procedures within the company. Shall see how I can do a reform. Clerical + IT + Helpdesk + everything-u-can-think-of-except-cleaning-ah-soh. LOL. I’m told that I can stay until the new girl comes in around mid-june. Yay! something to keep me occupied.

FYP wise, I should stop procrastinating and resume journal writing! Stuck at where I stopped ‘coz sch lab does not have the toolbox that I need. I should stop mapling so often and start working on it!

Getting weary easily these days, not due to too much mapling as I’ve cut down to abt 3hrs daily. (used to be the whole day?)

Been thinking about this new phase of my life. Not exactly that enthusiastic about leaving school, though glad that I’m officially descending from the mountain at the bird-dun-shit-place. =X Glad that I’m leaving hell-life at last (hopefully) but what lies ahead of me now? To take up a job related to the discipline of my degree and get high pay or to take up a job that I’m interested in but not related to the discipline and get a pay cut? Not that I’m losing interest in IT, but I’m more into web-IT, an industry where companies would rather employ diploma holders who can easily do the same job. Programming in other languages is within my scope of interest but not as confident as I am in web languages. = In a dilemma, but I guess priorities should be set right. Main objective now is to clear all the loans that I’ve taken up.

And I’ve been nagged to get married out of no reason = Not by my mum though. Ironic. LOL. Not that I don’t want to, but it takes 2 hands to clap. Even if I found the hand, I can’t do anything if the hand doesn’t want to clap with mine. Even if the hand wants to clap with mine, it doesn’t mean that my hand has to compliment the action right? heh.

I’m having a long-awaited weekend break. No tuitions this week! I shall turn in now and have a good rest!
