My LaSt

hey all....

i've moved.

it has been a really wonderful almost 5 years here...and i'm really sad to have to leave (never thought i'd need/want to leave). but nonetheless, thanks for everything the past 5 years.

i'm not going to delete this blog..cos all my memories (ups and downs, sad and happy, esp my precious 3 years in DB) are all here...maybe i'll come back one day..but definitely not any time soon.

i'll definitely miss this space here.

if you're fated to chance upon my new blog, you will.

cheers!

=D

Happy Birthday Robee!! =D

Happy Birthday Xiangyi!! =)

i'm kinda colour coordinated today. the colour of the day is Purple. i'm in a purple top, purple blazer, my specs are kinda purple too and my eye shadow is purple. haha.

stayed over in school last night with my friday girlfriend. so thanks to Karine and Raine for putting me up for one night and sorry for the trouble(s) caused!!! and raine!!! thanks so much for making me the milo this morning. it really was unexpected and that cup of milo was very wen xin. =)

it was nice being back in school again. the peacefulness in Jason's room was very familiar. kinda miss that feeling. even sleeping on the bed ytd was a really familiar feeling. i miss staying in hall and having people just a few steps away from me though i actually felt a little out of place ytd.

woke up this morning...super early. before my alarm rang. in the end had breakfast with raine, karine and ziwei!! =] had my ai xin zao can!! it's nice...i had wanted to eat peng kueh or dousha pau actually...but then ziwei tempted me into eating the egg! haha...and i honestly miss the YIH coffee lah!!!!!

met yirang in school last night. she complained to me about blisters. haha. then we started showing each other the blisters on our feet. hahahahaha. court shoes!!!! =X

the project status update this morning was fine. i had a small presentation part and to be honest, the yin ying from ytd's workshop was still present. though of cos the small presentation part today went fine, though i could feel my confidence level for presentation has kinda dropped as compared t last week when i did my part for presentation for the same project status update. but nick came to me at the end of the presentation, tapped on my shoulder and said "eh you need to be louder lah. i was sitting next to you and i could hardly hear you." then during lunch, while we were window shopping around town, he said again "you're fine when you're with us now talking, but during the presentation you're too soft lah!"

regarding ytd's workshop...it's over but it was quite bad. i still have to thank nick for being my captain planet and saving my day.

thanks to cindy for the jia you msg the night before. and thanks to You for asking me about it, consoling me after the workshop and giving me the >>courage>>> message after that.

i'll get over it. just feeling a slight (very slight) tinge of jaded-ness. i can feel i'm losing a little faith. need to find my faith back. it's important. keeps me going in this planty project.

AH!!! I'M SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UPSET NOW!!!!!! i could have gone back to office for my newbies treat!!!!! my 2 scheduled interviews today was like ERMMM..BOTH OF THEM MIA LAH!!! AND THAT STUPID HENRY DIDN'T TELL ME THAT THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT!! AND NOW I'M ALL ALONE IN THE OFFICE COS THE REST WENT BACK TO ORQ!!!!! AH!! UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!

U-P-S-E-T! hmph.

anyway i'm so happy to see robee and amanda again!!! heehee. haven't seen them for quite some time. loaned robee out for a few days since it's his birthday...wanted to take him out. but they both feel a little dirty....must be the dusty and nonsense air.

and i'm going to watch rat-a-too-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee next wednesday!! i can't wait!! heehee. =D

F.A.I.T.H.

taken from dictionary.com

faith (noun)
1.confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2.belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
3.belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims.
4.belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty.
5.a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith.
6.the obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement, etc.: Failure to appear would be breaking faith.
7.the observance of this obligation; fidelity to one's promise, oath, allegiance, etc.: He was the only one who proved his faith during our recent troubles.
8.Christian Theology. the trust in God and in His promises as made through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved.
9.in faith, in truth; indeed: In faith, he is a fine lad.

faith, to me, is quite an abstract thing. can't really be described in words, but it's like a feeling, a gut feel or an intuition.

well, digressing a bit, exactly one year ago, i fell sick. had gastric flu (and the weekend was sava). we did the 6km run for training and i was so far behind amanda was running with me. after that i felt so sick i had to ask mum to pick me up from school. time flies. it's been 1 year.

have faith.

lalala~

firstly, CONGRATULATIONS TO MY DEAREST PROJECT PARTNER EMMANUEL!!! his wife gave birth to a 2.895kg baby boy at 1104am whom they have named Shaun!!!!!!

such a happy news!!! =]=]=]

but then he will not join me for the workshop tmr. which means i'll be on my own. and i'm damn cool about it now lah. gosh. something is NOT right!!! and he said in his sms once again "i have faith in you :)" ermm...see.....FAITH again...it's really a leap of faith he's taking with me man. and i realized that we're taking a leap of faith for MANY things in life...

anyway i was home super early today!! like before 7!!! hahaha. then after that went with mum to parkway parade to pick up something. i went to pick up some stuff for my workshop tmr. mum wanted to buy a present for dad (his birthday is this saturday!!!)..and she chose to buy him a wallet which i thought was really funny. a mont blanc one (wait wait..before u all roll ur eyes). i just realized that my mum can get like 40% discount for mont blanc stuff cos the owner of the shop is her ex-neighbour!! 40% IS DAMN ALOT CAN?!?!?!?!?!?! haha..maybe that means i will take a shorter time to buy my own mont blanc pen??? hahahaha...

anyway....we stepped into body shop...and mum decided to get me a range of face care products. she went on nagging on how i shd take care of my skin and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. so now i have a seaweed range of face care products sitting on my shelf. 4-5steps every day!! ah!!!! okies i admit i'm lazy. let's see how long i'll keep up with this.

anyway i checked through the savings plans for the few banks and i have decided citibank it shall be!!! i'm so excited!!! thanks to michelle who helped me with the choices!!! i'm going to open my savings plans account on saturday morning!!! WoOoOoOo~~~~

suddenly tmr seems so busy. seems like there's tonnes of things for me to do and i haven't even start yet. tmr will start a loooooong night. sighs. i pray for the rainbow at the end of the road.

i'm having dinner with Mr WJ on thursday night!! WOOoOoOoO!! i'm so excited!!!

Faith, Leap of faith.

seriously, what is wrong with this word "faith" and this phrase "leap of faith".

i keep hearing/seeing the word "faith" and the phrase "leap of faith" the past 2 days, be in on newspapers, websites, interviews or conversations!!!!!!!!!!! and in quite different context somemore!

2 more interview to go for today. i'm hungry.

feeling really MISERABLE.

i'm feeling very miserable........

all of a sudden there just seems to be soooooooooooooooo many things that needs to be done yet it is not done....there are so many question marks. and i'm just so freaking stressed lah.

firstly, today emmanuel (my dearest partner at work) broke the news to me. my GREATEST NIGHTMARE has come true. his wife is going into labour tmr. AND THAT MEANS I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ON MY OWN!!! i honestly can handle the interviews, but really NOT the WORKSHOP on WEDNESDAY..I'M REALLY REALLY VERY STRESSED LAH!!!!!!

it's quite a major workshop and there are quite alot of people attending that workshop. and the worst thing is that both of us are not very clear regarding the process as well. and i'm just really feeling very lost in the process and now all of a sudden i have to handle all of them. doesn't help that emmanuel keeps saying "i have faith in you, i really think you can do it" and he even told uncle sam that i am confident that i can run the workshop well and that he has confidence in me.

confidence and wenya just DOESN'T go hand in hand.

my stress metre is just going UP UP and UP! i'm really feeling very very miserable. i need to do something that makes me happy. happy food or happy whatever before i start crying cos i'm too stressed.

i went to town just now after work. i walked and rushed from place to place. went from wheelock to cineleisure then to paragon, to tangs and then to mrt station and finally to far east to take my bus back. i was so tired that i didn't walk home from the main road like i usually do. went all over the place for what? just to look for ONE particular item. sighs. i thought retail therapy suppose to help me feel better isn't it? but it just made me more tired and hence more miserable.

it's only MONDAY. and i'm feeling so miserable.

i'm super stressed. and it doesn't help that i just can't get things done!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!

sighs.

with no robee and amanda to cheer me up....all i wanna do is watch ratatouille...yet that's also not possible. i swear it's really not fated. and that added to my misery too.

i think now i have about 5 things that i need to do URGENTLY...work and non-work related..yet i can't even get a SINGLE thing done. just feels damn shitty lah....like even the simplest thing (e.g thinking of a location) i also can't get it done.

sighs.

work-life balance

wang wee...yes it's that line....we're thinking about the same thing.

well, anyway i heard the news regarding the race...and so...CONGRATS to the whole team!!! i'm proud of all of you!!! =]
to raine...please don't be silly okie??? i love you all the same no matter what. thanks for sharing the results with me. it meant alot to me. thanks for still putting me in your heart. *hugs*

i was reading cindy's blog....and i shall quote this line from her blog...
"strangely, i dun feel sad tt i've graduated n am no longer in the team. perhaps, im in a state of contentment. contented tt during my time in db, it's sealed as the best days of my life n no1 can take tt away frm me. thankful tt my memories r unadulterated, untarnished, untainted ones filled wif love."
cindy..i think we have mak kai!!! haha...because that is exactly how i felt when i went down ytd..the first time as a supporter.

and like cindy, i woke up with my back feeling very suan. the usual lower left back, as if i've had a xiong training ytd. but all i did that required my lower left back muscle was just ONE SET OF SHADOW ROWING! =X i think i really am getting OLD.

well, anyway i woke up at 8am this morning...and had to force myself back to bed...but in the end i woke up at 9:30am. but i managed to catch the delayed telecast of the all blacks vs protugal match!!! that match is DAMN EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i swear all of them look DAMN GOOD in that all blacks jersey!!!!!!! and my hands are really itching to play some touch rugby!!! hahaha...

anyway met lisa, angie, michelle and elisa for dinner today...we were supposed to meet 5pm at tanjon pagar..but i was late! hahaha...i nearly got lost walking around to find neil road. but i still made it there. i was trying very hard to rem the directions from streetdirectory.com.

well, we had dinner at qun zhong eating house! it has good food!! it's really nice!! and i enjoyed eating there....it's a very small and simple place...had the wenxin feeling inside. after that we proceeded to bugis (liang seah street) for desserts and erm...MORE FOOD!!! hahaha...

and after that we all headed down to centerpoint (to be kaypohs) and see lisa's brother choose his engagement ring! it was quite exciting but we didn't stay there and choose lah. her whole family was there with the brother choosing the ring so we went walking around and ended up eating haagan dazs ice-cream. and all of us had straberry flavour! but honestly they have the BEST STRAWBERRY ICE-CREAM!!! i love it!!!!

anyway the engagement ring cost a BOMB! too expensive man. like nearly $23000!!! AHH!! *gosh* i wouldn't want such an expensive engagement ring. i rather spend the money on something more useful (e.g a house) cos..hmmm...i dun really think i would wear my engagement ring lah! hahahahaha...

it was a great night out with the girls. had lotsa fun. and we kept talking about work-life balance! lisa asks me to join amore with her!!! and angie says every saturday we're going blading or cycling at ecp!!! hahaha..sounds fun. but i wonder if it's just talk or will we actually get down to doing it. i don't mind signing up for amore and going cycling/blading!! i can finally get to learn how to roller blade after....ermm.....500000 years?!?!?!?!

anyway THANKS LISA!!! for sending all of us back..though it was like damn far from your house! like really from east (eunos/kembangan) to west (upper bukit timah)....but still THANKS!!!! =]=]=] can't wait to see u all soon...tentative on saturday morning!!!!!!!!

SERIOUSLY.

tough luck suck it up.
so what if i don't get to watch Ratatouille? no point getting so terribly upset over it. and i should stop whining about it. and it's a useless, brainless unintellectual show. what the fuck.

anyway i'm not in a good mood. sorry, don't mind my language.

i think the team (i wanted to use the word "we", but then it suddenly occurred to me that it was no longer appropriate) did well today, but i'm sure we will do better tmr! though a 200m race is more on luck than anything....but JIA YOU JIA YOU!!!!! i have f.b.t in you all!!!!!!!!! =]

went down to catch the race today. it was good to catch up. honestly, i know i was quite terrible. i spent most of my time catching up with people i haven't seen for a long time and didn't quite concentrate on the race. but it really was so nice to see them again. i was so happy to see alex again!! thanks alex!! for saying that i've become prettier. hahaha. it was good to see uncle sean too. basically it was just good catching up lah...with like zy, bc and angeline too!!! though now our topic kinda revolves around work. haha. and ah-rong just had to go on about how nice Ratatouille is. sighs.

well, cindy. thanks so much for agreeing to run with me. i know i was insanely out of my mind when i told u over dinner last night to run at 8am in the morning. haha. but i'm honestly glad we still did the run together. though we didn't talk much during the run (i started to pant after i began quite a long conversation with you. i just can't run and talk lah! hahaha). but the run was good. though i hope my pace wasn't too slow for you. i miss running with you. and i'm sorry that i made u sprint that last stretch!!! thanks for accommodating all my nonsense. i honestly appreciate it.

i came home and managed to catch one and a half movie, plus some rugby and the man utd match. the man utd match was quite exciting. i honestly thought they were going to draw 0-0 lah. but hail vidic!! though the 4 mins of added time i just..clung onto the rocking chair.

i manage to catch "You, Me and Dupree" and "My Best Friend's Wedding".

i watched My Best Friend's Wedding before. at a cinema i THINK. can't remember. but i forgot that it was such a sad show. well, basically the main point of the show is that.......

sometimes in life, when the moments have passed, there's no more 2nd chance. it is sad, but it is true and that is life. that's pretty much how fucked up life can get. when u got the chance and u missed that chance, don't cherish and treasure it, no matter what happens later, it too late, too fucking late.
(it sounds damn familiar, i just told that to someone over the phone about a week ago.)

and someone just had to spoil my already damn rotten night by being such an ASS. i honestly SERIOUSLY can't be bothered anymore. you need to fucking sort it out okie. and probably wkae up your freaking ideas.

my headache has officially killed me.


-+- a ShiNiNg StAr gUiDiNg yOu -+- 23:10

i love ORQ!!!!

just my luck. was on 56 with wang wee on our way home and the bus broke down!!!!! damn suay lah!!! but other than this bad luck thing...the rest of the day have been fine.

diner was at sizzler with the n-clique. everyone was present except for yanling. dunno when we'll get full attendance too. well, it was fun and i made alot of noise. hahahaha...it went a bit out of control when i was complaining about ratatouille!! hahahaha..like i think everyone stared at me!!! hahahahaha. oh well......i just realized today fabien is damn cute lah (lipin dun worry...not in that way....dun worry!!!!! hahahahaha). wang wee and i had fun talking/debating with him during dinner time!! but the 2 of them (fabien and lipin) are damn cute lah. it was quite sweet that one line that fabien said. well, it was good catching up with all of them lah. though this time it was quite different, we all talked about work instead of school.

went back to ORQ today. u know i'm really really very very very happy to go back to office! it's like just so happy and fun!! i think i wouldn't cherish the office so much if not for the fact that i'm away 4 days a week. and friday's always so fun cos no one's really in the mood to work, so alot of chit chatting in the office.

alex (my colleague) told me that my desk feels the most moved in (with the photos, minky pillow etc). hahahaha. and today cindy they all came over and started guess which one of the guys in the photos is my boyfriend. haha..cindy is really quite cute and adorable at times. she's like forever saying that the men in our dept are weaklings and that the women could problem trash them when it comes to being active and exercising. hahahaha.

i'm super tired!!! i was telling them that i feel as if i've worked for 25 years. it's like friday but i'm super tired. given a choice i rather come home and sleep!!! hahahaha.....i think i honestly need to find one day soon to recharge and just sleeeeeeeeeeeep!!!

anyway today at work, we bid farewell to 2 colleagues, both managers. one is of cos Mr WJ.

i finally managed to talk with him. was suppose to catch up last friday but he was sick and didn't come into the office. it's quite said that in the 3 weeks that i've been working i've only seen him TWICE!! =[

but he's honestly a really nice guy to talk to. in fact i honestly LOVE talking to him, i was actually telling him quite alot of stuff. there's just this high level of comfort when talking to him. he's a funny and nice guy lah. and i'm hope he'll have fun working with my mum. we're supposed to meet for tea/lunch too!!! =]

ok i honestly need sleep. before sleep deficit just builds up more!!!

okies, last point...out to all the dragonboaters in my favourite team...
JIA YOU teamNUS!!!!!!!! =]=]=]

i'm still really upset that there's no more mouse. =[
