great weekend
friday. after work, i rushed to grace's place. i was supposed to be there at like 7.30pm or so but i had to work overtime. by the time i got there, it was like 9pm. jake, jav and grace were playing cards while lyd was using the lappy.so it was the usual.. playing cards and taking pictures. happy moments past really fast. before i knew it, it was 11+pm.
saturday. lyd called to wake me up. right after i shower, i rushed to the gate cos lyd was already waiting. we got to the airport before 7.30am. to think of it, quite amazing that i could actually wake up in time. we met jav at the airport. together, lyd, lyd's mom, jake, jav and i had breakfast at burger kings. grace came shortly later with her parents. after a lil chat over breakfast, grace had to depart. i guessed everyone were trying to hide the sadness.
thereafter, i took a train with jav. everyone was still asleep when i got home. my aunt didnt even realised that i was out in the morning. i slept for half an hour before getting up. couldnt get to sleep, was worried about work. i lazed around in bed till noon. had my lunch and watched "my girl", my aunt was watching so i just "joined in".
keong came by in the late afternoon. i was so bored, i was practically staring at the ceiling when he came. i got changed. we took the 4.30pm shuttle bus to the interchange. i enjoy walking the night market, although you see the same stalls selling the same stuff all the time. =X before that, we went to get groceries and bread from the supermarket for my granny and aunt.
we bought otah, kueh tutu, muah chee, steam cake, bird nest drink and tapioca cake for my mum. then, we walked to my mum's place. spent a lil time looking for my watch and some other stuff. we were back home in time for dinner. granny cooked bak ku teh, veg and fish.
rested a lil before keong left.
while waiting for the bus
sunday. i slept till the late morning. after my bathe, i was watching "my girl" over breakfast. got a lil tired, but i couldnt get to sleep. before i could sleep, keong came. i got changed and dressed up. we took a cab to town. went to the mango at wisma's isetan. after some trying, i picked out 2 cardi and 2 tops. went to the cashier to make payment when i was told that i couldnt use the mango vouchers. (my colleagues from discovery gave me to me as a birthday gift) the lady wrapping the clothes behind the counter gave the "bu shuang" look.
i left promptly after apologising. then, we went to the boutique at ngee ann city. we were glad that they had all the 4 pieces. was getting hungry so we went to get bread and beard papa. on the way walking to the restroom, we past by u2. i shopped around abit and bought a three-quart pants at 50% discount. yay!!
it was time to do some work. we went to cold storage. keong went to get ice mountain while i took some pictures of my promoter doing sampling.
next up, toa payoh. i thought i should at least take pictures of 3 outlets out of the 10. i had to make a choice between toa payoh and suntec. was kind of lazy to walk from city hall to suntec so i chose toa payoh. yes! i admit im lazy. haha. i suggested taking the train. we walked on the outside of taka. there were tentages along the path selling lotsa stuff. i happened to see one of the stalls selling sunglasses and watches. i managed to choose one out of the limited choices, as a substitute before i find my watch. yay! i have a watch!
after the pictures taking, we looked around the pushcarts. i bought a necklace and belt for eml. with that, its time for dinner. we went to bedok 85. had ba chor mee and shredded chicken with century egg porridge. my fav. =)
im a very happy girl today. i bought my 2 cardigans; black and white, both of the same design. they had like 3 or 4 designs for each colour but i only fancy one of the designs. i only saw the black one on the rack. lucky me, cos they happened to have that in white! i also got my three-quart pants at only $21.50 and 2 lovely mango tops, sponsored by keong. thanks keong for everything!!! *muacks* 3 items off my list!

spooky nights
two days ago, 25 july, tuesday marks the first day of the 7th month in the lunar calendar. my aunt was just reminding me the day before that i better be home early. but on that day, i got home only at 11+. had a great time kboxing with the gang although i was only there for 2 hours. the past few nights have been rather spooky.. must be my imaginations running wild. and to add on.. my cuzy would be away for 3 days, 2 nights cos shes having a company chalet. lucky thing, i was so tired i fell asleep last night with the lights on.i hate it when its end of the week cos i'll be so busy. dont understand why duties and tasks cant be given at the start of the week. im always rushing to finish my work on friday. but then, on a happier note, its the weekend.i was rather happy and relieved when i was told by my boss that my client has stopped the sampling program. which means i wouldnt get calls on saturday, sunday after 11am and i wouldnt have to go down to supermarkets and i wouldnt have to get stressed up over work during the weekends, my off days.have been slacking half of the morning.. its time for some serious work!

new hairstyle?
few more days to pay day.. hurray~!the first thing im going to do is to get a haircut and probably hair colour. my hair is like so dead. have been waiting for so long. havent decide if i should perm or straighten my hair though. i get different comments. but i still have to scrimp till i clear all my debts. *sobs*just 1 min ago, i just received a message from starhub indicating that my bill is overdue and to avoid any distruption, i have to pay my bills very soon.anyway, putting aside all the unhappy stuff. just for now, im a happy girl. i got my mobile wrapped by g-masked and i got a pretty pink hp pouch. mei mei..my monday and tuesday have been pretty slack. had a meeting early in the morning today. glad that i wasnt late although i woke up only at 7.30am. im getting more discipline and punctual. lol. something to feel good about. shall keep up the good work.

weekend
more than half of my weekend was spent working. by sunday, i was getting a lil irritated with all the calls. sunday is supposed to be a work-free day.in the morning, i went to pay respect to my grandfather. was kind of compulsory that everyone in the family had to go. didnt had a choice. thereafter, eml and i took a cab home, we dropped my aunt cat and alaric at tampines. before we got home, aunt jen called and i had to accompany my granny to exchange some stuff nearby.i was about to start helping with the food for my bro's bbq (his 18 birthday) later when i received a call. with that, i went home and started making calls. by the time i went to my granny's place, everything had been done. so much for helping.i joined my bro and his friends at the bbq pit. was further disturbed by a few calls.after the bbq, i rested awhile before i started on my report.

homey sunday
i spent my whole afternoon packing my room. havent packed in a month or so. refolded all the clothes in the wardrobe, cleared almost everything from the makeup table and cozy corner.it was around 6pm when i was done packing. i took a shower and had a lil dinn before going out to meet grace and all. i walked to the bus stop, waited 10 minutes for the bus, 9 minutes for the train. i took like more than an hour to get to marina square. they were already done with kboxing when i got there. we went to glutton bay for dinn. had lotsa food.. chicken wings, hokkien mee, char kway teow, mee goreng and fried oyster. so sinful..then, we went to sit by the river. had a good chat with grace. thank you for everything~!

i miss the shuttle bus again :(
the boss is out.. so im free for now. still waiting for some guy to install a mass fax software.my morning has been bad. i miss the 8.20 shuttle bus.. saw the bus just drove off in front of me. i decided to walk to the bus stop near the back gate, thinking it would be faster. the walk took me 10 mins. waited another 20 mins for the bus. by then, the 8.40 shuttle bus had already arrived the interchange yet im still waiting for the bus. i must be really not in luck cos three no.24 buses came together. havent took a bus for a long time and when i do, this had to happen.i got to the office at 9.30am. doing nothing ever since.i've a lesson tonight at 8.20pm. hope amily and i can clear the lesson the first time.... ... my handphone, N6670 has been giving me so much problems. hanging on me and auto-turning off as and when it likes. my batt life is like 1 day. and the worse thing is many times, i cant turn on my handphone after it shuts off automatically. after using this handphone for a year plus, i've finally decided to trade in my handphone for N70. quite reluctant to do so initially but its giving me way too many problems. and im going to do so tomorrow. yay!

been so freaking busy at work.. working till almost 9 everyday. im like flooded with calls and messages all the time. after all this, i realised its easier to manage work stress than "human" stress. i miss discovery, my wonderful ex-colleagues and the stuff i was doing. i used to do much more than what im doing now but im struggling to cope. probably im still trying to fit into the company's cultures and all. after all.. i've yet to settle down. its been only a week.i havent been replying to my messages. sorry!!! thank you all for your concern. im fine.. just busy with work. shall catch up with all of you after i've settled down. =)till then, take care!

a day of searching with my new colleague
i arrived at the office at around 9.50am. had a meeting with the boss before making a trip to compasspoint and parkway with valerie.
after we got back, we had to go out to ikea to look for trays. anyone has seen A5 (1/2 of A4) size white colour trays anywhere?? we sat down, called spotlight and taka but none had solid white trays. with that, we went to anchorpoint's cold storage, centrepoint, robinsons and ntuc but we still couldnt find it.our feet were sore from all the walking. after looking through the NTUC, i called my boss at 6.50pm and told him that we couldnt find the trays. we were supposed to go back to the office but my boss was nice to agree to let us go home from there.we went to killiney kopitiam but they were closing. we ended up in another cafe just few steps down. sat there to rest our feet and chatted for like half an hour.got home at 7+. granny was happy that i was home early for dinner. how i wished i could do so everyday.

peaceful sunday
keong sent me home. we spent a few hours at home surfing the net. later, we went to his place. was supposed to get pressie for his cousin, kai hui but i was having headache and stomach flu. must be lack of sleep. i took a short nap before going to his granny place.she look so chubby as compared to the last time i saw her. a fierce baby girl who doesnt allow unfamiliar faces to carry her. doesnt smile much but she loves to clap her hands. she understands certain words like when you ask "where's your watch?", she would then lift up her arm and look at her watch.after dinner, keong sent me home. for once, im going home early cos im working the next day.hope my day at work will be fine.
