Long day today... went for med chk up at NTU with mona. Must say the whole tink was rather quick esp with a quite number of procedures involved! Haha my first time taking a x-ray but it was less exciting than I thout it will be. Contrary to huang's sacarsm abt me expecting fireworks in room, I was expecting to see lights flashing or smth. However, it was just a 'beep' sound and yap I was shown out of the room. Can't imagine millions of my cells dying just within 1 s of being plastered to the board. Got to noe a couple of my future seniors from acct and they were really nice ppl. Pretty much puts some of those insecurities abt uni at bay.

Went with ah gong to gai gai ard TM after dinner. Saw this....

New Balance W 491

Ah gong spotted this pretty tink. Cost a hefty amount and would demand serious consideration esp when my stupid pay is not in yet. Argh once again the clock strikes 1am without me knowing. Better slp now or else can't get my sis to sch in time in the morning (today!)... once again an dry post without much content. Shall blog about tt shadows of the wind read soon when I haf the time to finish reading it.

OMG I finally got a laogong! My dear lappie =)=)=) A nice big debut for him on my blog with those beautiful speaker (specially changed the faceplates for him) to complement his beauty!

My lovely lappie... with shuai shuai jun on the wallpaper

Yes he is indeed beautiful and my new bao bei! I am racking my brains on all ways to protect him while I am on the road or to make him even more cool... I am so obsessed that I am stay at home all day to just fiddle with it. Now I understand why hsefly can stay at home all day just to hover around her com or ps2. I am esp happy to blog now cos I can place my fingers over his nice keypad. My perfect laogong!

Okie I was out sourcing for the one last week with jing... went funan to fire qns at all the salesmen who tackled our qns with patience. Actually had my eye on the nice piano-finish compaq but it was a little too ex for my liking and specs were rather mediocre compared to my laogong.

Walked to Raffles to have our lunch after the IT shopping. Wah all those memories of work came flooding back- people in formal wear, tissue/today newspaper/namecards seat chope-ing, GS, chervon hse, etc. Heh intro Jing to the Raffles way of life. Miss the food but definitely not the work. Went orchard ltr on and jing got her ears pierced. I was a little tempted to get a 2nd piercing but I dun wan the face the gun again... so I chicken out.

The lovely view of Raffles from the Singapore River.

Wah realised it's so late liao and I got med chk up tmr!!! Argh blog more nxt time then... esp about my latest read "The shadow of the wind". It's a great book but it creeps me out pretty much. Nite to my dear lappie.

Finally 15 Jun 2007... the date which is highlighted on most of my calendars. THE SWEET TASTE OF FREEDOM! Haha yesh 5 months have passed and I am finally an unemployed, parasite of the society gal again.

Shall begin with the whole of this work week. Ah mah n I wanted to try most of our top 10 list of gd food again b4 we leave but we din have the time =( Did attempt to and at least we tried out fav red bowl fish soup with "yee mian" at GS. Ate it again with cynthia and karen for the 2nd time. Had the tang yuan dou hua dinner date with ah mah on wed. Went to lao pa sat for the sookee yong tau fu. Cheveron hse for the rice plate... din get to eat the fried yong tau fu though. Went for our farewell dinner at waraku the central... all 11 of us troop down in our workwear and heels and walked from our company to clark quay. Had a really filling meal (tried cold noodles but din like it :S) b4 we went down to ps to walk walk.

Finally the last day. I neva thout it was going to be emotional and sad. 5 months ago... I predicted it to be a day of joy where I will be smiling and waiting for 5:30pm to finally come. The morning started with lots of presents and letters. Me and ah mah gave them our "special company package" (hehe only the colleagues will understand this one). We had to prep it so sneakily during worktime. Then ltr on was filling a few amendments for yw and the last job she gave me was requesting B1 from CIT. Y gave me an espirit wallet and I thout my present like v shabby- heng tt she likes it =)

Ltr on was a frenzy of clearance from the diff depts and completion of timesheets and approvals from mgr etc etc. After we return the pass and laptop, I was officially unemployed. Everything become real sad esp when I was reading the email yw sent me abt how she love the present and must keep in contact... haiz I was crying in my heart. Though the past 5 months was hard work, there were lots of memories and I was v well taken care of by my senior. Gonna miss her.

No more rushing down to office in nel. No need to switch on my lappie to see the cameron highland wallpaper, firing the first email to my dearies to wish them a gd morning and moaning to min min on msn abt work. Wun be seeing tt little in tray with my name pasted on it at my senior's table top- piled with work. Would neva be sitting in the big boardroom again- filled with all mountains of used papers and strewed with stationeries but most importantly the other 9 temp staffs who make work more bearable with their presence. Wun have the need to help press the button when anyone is printing B1 forms or give printer K a gd smack when it is throwing tantrums. Wun be lurking ard with ah mah or my friends from work in raffles, pondering wat to haf for lunch. Wun see the stretch of road where we constantly risk our life on cos we haf to run across it with 2 way traffic coming in our direction. No more editing of letter, indication of my XY initials, preping computations, filling, etc etc. No more dinners after work, gg home with the nelers. OMG I can't believe tt I am missing my job already! Ekkk...

Some photos to bring back some of those memories during the 5 months:

Heh... bdae gals!

Desserts b4 gg for spring party at MOS

Ben and Jerry Free Cone day!

In boardroom... danni's last day.

But still i am relieve tt I have my freedom back cos this is the last real holiday I am ever gg to have without worrying about exams, getting a job, payrise and bonus, completion rates, etc. And I have a long list of activities to make everyday worthwhile!

Ohoh worth mentioning is the nice steamboat tt we had at bugis to celebrate huang's bdae on fri. It's a yuan yang steamboat wor and yum yum I was filled to the brim. Ah min was so happy when tat guy called us mei nues wahahhaha! Shld haf recorded down and replay for her a few times. N I went kbox again on wed with ping they all. Took half day to go take cert and sing our lungs out. Let's go again gals... and this time- it will be till 9pm kz!

Shopping on tue! I need advice on buying laptops.. not my cup of tea. Shall go watch my sis cartoon...

Sunday, 3 June 2007 ( 1:11 am )

Yes I shld be in bed now after a tiring day but I am in the mood to blog- which is getting really rare these few times- so I better spare a few moments here. Esp when a particular someone moaned tt I haven updated my blog for a looooong time- haha u better leave taggie or smth or else i smack u! Mind all tt this may not be an entirely cheerful post...

Shall start from the last activity tt I can recall. Shopping. Missed the NUS Sci talk cos I overslept. Despite having set 2 alarm clock, my body system commanded me to take a few more winks after i slammed down the off button of those clocks and wala, I woke up 1 hour later instead. But it din stop me from meeting ah mah they all for shopping at bugis... and I ended up buying the most stuff. Hsefly was actually with us! Talk abt rare guest heh heh...

Yay awc ppl came my hse play mahjong. Must say tt I was a bad host cos most of the time I was engross in my cookie-making. Wahaha I only played one pathetic round of mahjong cos I was running to the kitchen every sec to check out the oven. Thankfully there was my sister who provided entertainment for them... yes I was rather amused by the duck throwing and my sister declaring her affections for gat. Well well I can start assessing my future brother-in-law now wahahah. Okie the nxt time u guys come, I wun be involved in any domestic activity and ah peng can bring his mahjong table. Cos I tink our human arm-fence is not enuff to keep the tiles on my mini table during the washing =)

Okie for this week- I had a 2 day work week thx to an mc and my lovely leave day on fri. Had another round of shopping at bugis again... even went compass to haf to look. Fri was marina cum suntec day. Went down for pc show and bookfair to visit jing at her workplace. Poor gal- 10 hours on her feet per day! Haf to boil chicken soup for her le hahah. Shop ard there with quek and ping and once again- I bought the most stuff again. Y am I always the one spending the most during shopping. The 2 gals hardly buy anytink... Esp ping tsk tsk- zero! Now I feel guilty. Ok maybe not since I am so satisfied with those buys!

Today was exhausting. Yap it's my econs teacher's wedding and went for both church and hotel dinner. Really thanx to her for inviting us and congrats! Everytink was posh and ex. N my teacher looked so pretty in tt beautiful dress! Heh all brides look marvellous and radiant I guess.
My 1st church wedding and must say tt it was okie.. the whole vow tink kind of really solemnize the marriage and the setting was great but the recitals were quite long. Went to Marina (again!) for lunch b4 returning home to rest and dress up. It was a 2nd prom. Slapped on tons of powder on my face and did the eyeliner routine tinky again for formal events. Attempted to expt with some hair makeover and my mom commented tt I looked like I just woke up. Sian-ed. Luckily my friends thout it looked gd. Wat a nice mom i haf...

Must mention once again tt I was reliving my prom... it was at ritz and at the same ballroom. The only diff was tt I walked there with S24A- not arrive in style in a cab. Wait super long b4 they open the door to the ballroom (similar case for prom). Sitting arrangements were bad cos ah mah n hsefly was stuck with a bunch of unknown guy while mona and me got squash in with S24B. We sat there for barely 30 min b4 we got "cordially invited" to switch places *snickers* -surprise surprise hur- Ok shall stop the sacarsm b4 my mean streak takes over and more spills out. Sry just can't resist.

The food was much better than prom and most were really ex. There were fresh roses everywhere and they come in amts of 10 per table. I dun even wan to state the no. of tables! *Faints* The real big budget sure scares me. Ate the ex food, took a couple of photos and yesh it finally ended. Marks the end of our final S24 gathering- not gonna haf anymore in future in most of our opinions. I will just be happy if there are S24A outings.. No pt trying to do tinks which we all agree is a waste of time and energy. Wonder how I (we?) could once be so innocent as to tink tt the gap can somehow be salvaged even after the obviously strain efforts. Heh the tink abt growing up is tt we stop caring abt the trivial stuffs and learn to care more abt the more impt and worthwhile ppl in ur life. Hope I voice some of ur thoughts too ;)

Yesh finally accepted NTU accountancy. Did contemplated accepting NUS Sci but the career prospect and the not-my-forte lab work plus the confusing bidding session really gives the lazy me a clear cut choice. Yar yar I shld challenge myself, be independent blah blah. But tt's y I am gg to stay hall and join a new CCA to challenge myself. So I can get the above from NTU in a nicer and more enjoyable package rite? Okie I clicked the button. Feel a sense of relief after choosing cos I noe I haf no regrets. The only sad tink is tt most of my really gd friends r gg NUS sci. Besides tt.. I would not give sci another look anymore. Bb to sci after 10 years!

Ok I feel perky enuff to watch a few more epi of hana yori...
