Peace after the storm

Caught a cold. Didn’t sleep well last night due to blocked nose, am still having blocked nose now :(. Been trying to sleep for the past hour but to no avail. Tired as I am, the blocked nose is keeping me awake. I need the doc tmr.

The site’s launched at last. Something that I took over in the development stage and single-handedly built the site. I’m proud of myself, learnt more of the cms now =)

先甜后苦、 先苦后甜. I think it’s neither. 先苦后也苦!but that’s just work.

the impromptu dinner

I was thinking.. I need to add life to this blog. Seeing how Grouser’s blog became livier after she added in Movie Reviews entries, I was tempted to follow the trend.

But!!! I’m not good at writing! And I don’t watch movies that often! 😀

Maybe I should just give it a try.

Life, being mundane as usual, today was spent.. in the office! Woohoo~ If you’d heard my (private) rant on plurk, you’d have known why.

6 hours into torturing myself in the office (alone physically), I read (on plurk) that the guys are back in SG! Knowing the coach will bring them to somewhere-near the office area, I thought I’ll call and ask if they want to meet for dinner. Heh! And tata! 7.30pm (and I was slightly late…) I’m at Funan’s Swensens! Nice impromptu dinner with them. There’s always endless (innocent) laughter with them around. Thanks guys (and gals)!

Weary of my online life

For some reason, i’m losing interest with plurk – and indirectly – chatting with plurk frens. Triggered by a series of (thankfully not that unfortunate) events, though nothing political.

I think I need time to sort it out. Things are starting to go beyond my control and I don’t like it. Till then.

But does that mean I’m back to blogging? Hopefully. Although my offline life isn’t exactly that interesting..

Am supposed to have Japanese buffet tonight, but had diarrhoea throughout the day. Since I need to be out the whole day tmr, I decided not to take the risk. I’m missing the company of the 3 guys whom I’m supposed to meet. Guys! Sorry for flying pigeon tonight, can we meet up more often? Like.. resume our badminton sessions?

And Jem fyi, I am still going for k next Friday! Woohoo~

Done for the night. Need to be out of house by 6 for SDSC’s flag day tmr. If you see my flag ambassadors on the streets tmr, don’t run away from them ok? Donate some money and get your sticker passport!

Lousy mood

Work has literally taken over my life these days. I feel so no-life. But it’s good anyway, I get to save $! =p

Think it’s starting to come on me, was feeling so lousy last Fri that my replies weren’t exactly that friendly. Apologies to those on the receiving end. Was also hesitating if I should go ahead and join the plurk friends for ktv – Huishan, Victor, Qiquan and Vincent. Glad that I turned up, got cheered up totally by Mayday’s songs, on top of the great company I had. And supper at Newton Circus after that! Willy fetched us there and Darran joined us. Long time since I had cockles. yummy!

I’m now thinking, when will I have the time to post the many over-due photo entries. Have got no time to edit those photos! Plus I’m feeling lazy :p

And oh! When was the last time I had a fall? 3 years back? I’m now sporting 2 injured knees – wif cuts, 1 injured toe – wif cuts too, 1 cut near the eye, and a sprained neck. Sounds serious but I think it’s not. The pain’s pretty bearable compared to the one 3 years back. At least I fell (with my face down) on mud this time. There’s cushion. Imagine if I’d fallen on the concrete pavement instead. *shudders*

Thanks for all the concerned msgs yesterday! I feel so loved! 😀

Think I’ll do a summary of events – CNY & Valentine’s day especially, another time!

My Sincere Apologies

for not being able to keep you entertained daily.

I know I”m severely lacking in blog entries. But I’m avoiding entries that say how mundane my work life is. Entries that only says what I’d done that day. I believe this kind of information is not entertaining enough.

I do not blog for the sake of blogging. At least this blog is still.. quite personal to some extent?

Been having many thoughts recently. Decisions to make. Received some news at work and it kind of affected my mood. We’re finally hit by the economic downturn. Oh well..

Have been struck with some confusions, feelings. I seriously think I think too much. That I”m just.. self-asserting pressure.

Whatever I”d typed, seem so generic and vague. haha.. I guess I”m tired. I mean, not that I”m not rejuvenated after the 1 week break, but overwhelmed with the amount of work now. I never had such a hectic work day like today. Back-to-back meetings from 10 till 5. I’m behind schedule for my work ‘coz I was juggling 3 OMS (one man show) projects. Tired as I am, I’m thankful for it. At least, there’s work to be done. Contradicting.

Argh. I think I’m mentally tired now. Probably the above didn’t make any sense to you. I’m just blabbering. Heh.

I need a break

I’ve not been blogging as faithfully as I want to, but plurk has taken over my life now. Most of my social events now are plurk related. It can get really fun, when you meet new people at every outing. But it brings me to this thought, what about my other friends? Plurk friends are so spontaneous that you can organise a mini outing at the last minute. Somewhere somehow people will turn up.

I really miss my other friends so much. Just feel so lonely at times, gfs are sometimes too busy for heart-to-heart talks. And many times I need a listening ear, knowing that I use the internet (read: MSN) as my main communication tool, gfs are not online. I know I’m better at communicating online, coz I have the time to think how to reply. The brain’s pretty slow at digesting information when chatting face-to-face realtime. Sometimes I just feel like I’m a loser somehow.

I need an offline life. But I suck totally at it.

Plurk is actually quite an addictive thing. I hv the window open the moment I startup the laptop (both work & personal), with MSN being the first or vice versa. I’m happy reading “friends”‘s plurks sometimes, but recently I’ve been muting most of them, coz Plurk is so distracting that it’s affecting my work.

I need to kick this addiction, somehow.

Work has gotten me so busy I don’t feel like attending social events anymore. But the thought of “I’ve not met them for a long time” forced me to attend. Or when the attendees mention that it’s hard to organise gatherings. It’s so hard to turn them down. I really didn’t wish to attend. Plus it’s the pre-CNY period now, I’ve lots of things that I need to do at home – though usually I’ll end up in my room, staring at the plurk screen.

I feel bad enough for my mum to nag nonstop. I’m really really tired from work (but, who isn’t?). I didn’t want dad to do so much of the cleaning, when we could have easily done them ourselves. I want to be a filial one, but I’m too hooked to the internet (Plurk). Shit. Things that no one knows, and no one understands coz I don’t voice it out. I just feel so terrible coz I’m expected to do this and that.

Plus recently I’ve been visiting the doc so often. The sinus – something which I didn’t have before – is causing the blocked nose and the sore throat and the phelgm. 3 visits to the doc within 1 month. Going for a follow-up visit again next week.  I cannot stand those pills. Always have a phobia for them – the feeling of wanting to puke. I seldom puke, but I did tonight. The feeling’s super terrible. The smell seems to linger around (or is it purely psychological?) even though I’ve washed myself TWICE. =(

I’m feeling so tired. Really tired. Looking for the long break next week. Took 3 days off. Boss was asking me if I intend to cancel the leave since my trip is cancelled. I told him my exact feeling – I need a break from work. With a colleague leaving, I’m taking over 3 of her projects (one shared, and 2 fully-owned by me now) on top of my existing project. Feeling too overwhelmed with the workload now. Though I’m on leave next week, I need to work offline. That’s agency life for you. I still have the passion for it, but I need a break somehow.

Much as I really want to blog as regularly as I could, I’m so tired after work that I don’t feel like blogging anymore. If you’ve realised, my recent entries are getting emotional. Too many ups and downs recently. Stuff that are hard to put to the mouth.

I can’t wait for the sinus to be gone (have not researched much on it though). I’m hating the endless cough I get sometimes. I can’t wait for my on-hand projects (4 of them) to be fully completed and launched.

I can’t wait for April to come – that’s when all work is projected to end.

I need a break. Yes I need one.

The keyboard key

Just for fun. What Keyboard Key Are You?


You Are “tab”


Some people might try to say that you’re always spaced out.

You do tend to be a dreamer, but you’re also a great multitasker.

You work quickly and efficiently. So it’s no problem if you goof off a little while you’re working.

And if people want to think you’re flakey, that’s fine. You’re getting more done than they are.
