First of all, I got a pay rise in my current job.
Well, it just happened that one of my colleagues (Miss S) in the same dept handed in her resignation letter (Wah…faster than me!! Haiz…).
After much consideration, the management decided to let me take over her duties and give me a pay raise as they didn’t want to employ another gal. Hence, this means that I will be solely handling the oversea market.
Anyway, Miss S actually knows of my plan of resigning and advices me to stay put first and try to make use of this chance to “train” myself to handle this huge responsibility. It will be beneficial for me. Oh well, hopefully I will be able to handle all these additional workload and don’t let my boss down.
Yes! That also means I will be stuck here for the time being. But I will still carry on looking for a new job and leave here when I got a good offer. Even thought I hate the idea of staying here again, but the fact of able to request for a higher pay range is very much to my liking! Yeah!!
Secondly, one of my poly gal buddies, Miss A, is getting Rom on the 1st of Feb.
I was quite surprised when she breaks the news to me as i didn't hear her mentioning any news about that.
Haha.. Seems that she wanted everthing to be booked and confirmed before she reveals the big news.
Truly thrilled for her as she has finally found her Mr. Right and able to build
their love nest together very soon.
Wish you all the best, blissful gal!
I reckon for these next 2 years, most of my friends will be settling down one by one.
It’s not an easy task to find someone who shares the same frequency and goals in life.
So for those who found theirs, congratulation!
You are on your way to a new chapter in life.
To me, the thought of settling down with someone seems quite distant.
Perhaps, it’s partly because I haven’t met the one who gives me that feeling yet.

Memoirs of a Geisha
It’s always so cool to have friend (Miss M) who works in the media industry. At times, she will invite me or my other sec friends along for free movie premieres and concerts.
Haha… What a pleasure of having such special treats!
Yesterday, we went to watch the premiere of “Memoirs of a Geisha” at Cineleisure. Needless to say, it was free tickets again this time, courtesy of Media corps.
On hearing that it was going to be free seating, we quickly finish our dinner and headed straight for the cinema.
Well, as the saying goes: early birds always get to choose the good seats but little did we know that the whole level of cinemas was all booked for showing that movie at that time slot. Hence, still got plenty of seats around. Oh well, never mind then.
Had heard good comments about this movie and that it was nominated for 2 Golden Globes.
Basically, in Memoirs of a Geisha, a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion.
Sayuri’s (Zhang Zhi Yi) story begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house.
Slowly, thought-out the show, we can witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing silk kimono, elaborate makeup and hair; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it.
Rather interesting to understand how the culture of the geisha is like and the movie did a fine job establishing the highly disciplined world of a geisha, a world where many sacrifices are to be made.
Plus, there were also beautiful scenery in the streets of Gion - the geisha district of Kyoto - with its marvelous teahouses and theaters, narrow back alleys, ornate temples.
On the whole, it was quite an entertaining and interesting show but was rather lengthy too. I was squirming in my seat, wondering when it was going to end. Keke…perhaps feeling quite tired.
Nevertheless, this movie brings me to another level of understanding of Japan’s history, which I always been interested in, ever since I was young.
I’m more determined to visit Japan if I got the chance. To try on the lovely kimono, admire the sakura flowers and visit the ornate temples.

Gloomy Weather
Oh my..it’s been raining non-stop these 2 days! I can’t even go out shopping alone as I don't want to be drenching wet and feeling cold out there. I HATE it esp. when it’s raining non-stop on weekend. Makes me totally no mood to hang out in the street.
Well, I had actually booked an appointment to go for facial today but "lazy" me got to reschedule it to next Tue instead. I refuse to step out into the cold weather out there.
I rather kept myself warm in my bed or even surfing net and looking out for jobs online.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a bright and sunny day then!
It’s supposed to be a long weekend for me but I actually waste 2 days, rotting at home – watching DVD (bewitched), listening to songs and tidying up my room. Arghhh….
Pls dun rain anymore tomorrow! Will be most grateful!

Resolutions for Year 2006
So what do I want to achieve for this brand new year?
Well, one of them is definitely a new work environment! Which I hopefully wish for….
Been on the lookout for a new job for ages! But it’s going to be tough as I wanted to change into totally different work aspects.
It’s all about related qualification and relevant work experience that the employers are looking for. Tsk tsk
That’s explaining why I’m still stuck in this current job for so long. Arghh…
Anyway, it’s been nearly 4 years on my current job. Hence it’s really time to move on. To learn more stuffs and gain more work experience.
Perhaps one will tends to fear and waver at the thought of stepping out of the comfort zone. But the career advancement and prospects are the more important factors to be considered, rather than doing the same old thing for your whole life. Don’t you think so?
Thus, I really need to be firm and persistent to look out what I’m looking for in a job. Other than that, luck also plays a part too. I will be most grateful if any kind-hearted person out there will grant me the opportunity to work in my dream job. Keke…
If there are no other options, I will choose back the same job scope but different work industry.
Worse come to worse, maybe I will just quit my job and perhaps might get a better chance of getting a new job. (Neh…. that’s a risky move) Haha..
In conclusion, I just wanted to experience a new work style and learn more things while I’m still young.
So wish me luck, folks. Do let me know if you happen to know of any interesting jobs out there,k? Muacks~
