Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr's baby is so cute!!!

love the pacifier la. hahaha. so adorable.

i think he has miranda's eyes but orlando's eye color.

i like smiley babies!

haha.

isn't he the cutest thing ever!!

*pinch cheeks*

As we approach the end of 2011

i think most will have the sentiment that it hasn't been a good year.
natural disasters, floods, economic slowdown, smrt debacle and what have you?

it certainly haven't been a smooth year for me.
but i'm glad it's coming to an end.
i'm quite looking forward to 2012.
although some say it's the end of the world.
if that's the case, we should all live our life to the fullest eh?

Resolutions for the coming year?
To give people the perception that i'm 25 professionally!
it's so frustrating to keep hearing that i look like a fresh grad.
even by interns?!
even my own team lead thinks i look young.
GEEZ.
it frustrates the hell out of me.
REALLY.
stop telling me it's good that people say that.
personally, of course it's great.
professionally, it's a disaster.
perceptions are important.

other than that, i need to watch my weight more carefully from now on.
although it's good that i'm gaining weight.
it's all in the wrong places.
i need to utilize my gym membership often.


appreciate all the little things in life.
it's often underrated.

Cheers to the end of 2011 & beginning of a new year!

sometimes you hurt....

and the one who hurts you don't even know why.
or have no idea that you're hurt.
and it breaks your heart all over again.
the one with the ability to hurt is often the one you hold close.
& that's why love is a double-edged sword.



haven't you felt like this before?
and it's just too bad.
shrugs.

too lazy for my own good.

haha. i'm so lazy to get out there and buy my BB cream though it has run out.
i still have the faceshop BB cream but i don't really like it.
it has some smell to it and it's so white!
but i'm just using it because i'm too lazy to go to watsons and get one.

maybe i should try the rachel k mineral cc cream and see what's the rave about.
anybody? bday or xmas present? hahaha


unmotivated, tired and rawring.
fire-fighting week. T_T

I know what i want for Xmas...or my birthday for that matter...

because they always coincide when people get gifts, regardless.
hahaha.
if you'll be so kind to get me a present. haha.

if anyone can find this book by Carolyn Kalil, Follow Your True Colors to the Work You Love, please tell me. 
e-book works for me too!
it's so expensive on Amazon. -.-''''




in fact, books on body language or anything relating to communication, i like~
good books makes winnie a happy girl :)
i have a kindle! so ebooks rocks!


as you grow, your desires change.
true fact.

i think i'm gonna get myself a watch. =X hehehe.
but then again, i'm fickle.
oh wells~

i'm going USS for my birthday, courtesy of bii.
:D
can't wait but i dont know when i'll be going. hahaha.

ok, shocker.

just realized my contract ends in Jan 12.
feel blindsided.
but only myself to blame.



-.- dammit.

You can't help feeling old.

especially when you look at your younger cousins.
kids grow up so fast nowadays.
in a blink of the eye, they've gone on to JC and poly.
geez, 岁月不饶人。

and then it made me think back to all the friends that come and go in your life.
it's bizzare how some people who used to be close to you now seem like strangers.
i think a lot of people take friendships for granted.
and these friendships just turn to dust over time which is a pity, really.
sometimes, it just makes you angry and hurt.
but you tell yourself that those friends aren't worth it.

as we progress into Dec, my 25th birthday impending.
quarter of a century.
time flies.
gone are the carefree days.
*laments*


那些年.....


好感慨哦~

i think Beckham kids are pretty handsome.

i especially love her outfit here. very pretty and classic.

haix....

一切尽在不言中
shitty.

when do you know you've made the right choice?

when do you know this is the choice for you?
what do you do when your mind tells you the answers your heart probably already know?
resilience. perseverance. determination.
that's what they taught us in school.
but when do you know which battles to let go?
when will you be sure that enough is enough?
stay hungry, stay foolish. Steve Jobs, such wise words.
and my supervisor replied, stay foolish but don't be a fool.
haha. true.

Wake me up when September ends

yup, i've woken up.
just came back from Korea and the weather in SG is absolutely atrocious.
i miss Korea's weather. *hearts*
and tmr begins a new journey.
but im still recovering from my flight. YAWNS.
staying over in the HK airport for 8 hours is no joke man.
i'm going to ensure that that nv happens anymore!

anw, started work today.
still getting used to it. it's a pretty huge transition for me.
from a public sector to a bank.
it's freaking dynamic.
i've got loads to catch up on. haha.
rusty bank knowledge now.
an almost all male environment now, so that's an adjustment too.
wish me luck :)

21 Sep 2011

The last day of my work.
Goodbye to crabs, mee kias and mee poks.
2 years fly by in a snap of the fingers.
i'm saying hello to a brand new beginning.
onward~ & forward~~


will definitely miss my colleagues back there. le sigh~
the breakfast breaks.
the adventures with the microwave.
the drama.
the gossips.
oh man~
it's been one hell of a sail in there.
haha.

My Song of the Moment.....

Serenaded~~~~ *hearts*

Talking To The Moon Lyrics

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away 

I want you back 

I want you back 

My neighbors think I'm crazy 

But they don't understand 

You're all I have 

You're all I have 

Chorus: 

At night when the stars light up my room 

I sit by myself 

Talking to the Moon 

Trying to get to You 

In hopes you're on the other side 

Talking to me too 

Or am I a fool who sits alone 

Talking to the moon 

I'm feeling like I'm famous

The talk of the town 

They say I've gone mad 

Yeah I've gone mad 

But they don't know what I know 

Cause when the sun goes down someone's talking back 

Yeah 

They're talking back 

Chorus: 

At night when the stars light up my room 

I sit by myself 

Talking to the Moon 

Trying to get to You 

In hopes you're on the other side 

Talking to me too 

Or am I a fool who sits alone 

Talking to the moon 

Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh, 

Do you ever hear me calling? 

Cause every night I'm talking to the moon 

Still trying to get to you 

In hopes you're on the other side 

Talking to me too 

Or am I a fool who sits alone 

Talking to the moon 

I know you're somewhere out there 

Somewhere far away

Bruno Mars!!!!

*heart* him!!! he's so talented~~~
he's the kind of artiste i like. the kind that performs different versions of their own original songs.
instead of playing the cd version over and over again.
it gets boring after a while..
i'm gonna watch him if he ever comes Singapore for a concert!!

BRUNO MARS ROCKS! :D

恋爱就是这么一会儿事....

i think watching  SS小燕之夜 can be quite beneficial at times ....
some of the things that  小燕姐 says are very meaningful..
her words of wisdom..值得听和思考...
and she's damn good at asking questions that 一针见血...
and the artistes 都会真情流露....and they dont know how to react...

in the below episode, she asked if your bf is successful and ask you to be the woman behind him. To just be. Would you? Give up your dreams and work to just be the woman behind him in his successful life.
i'm not sure if i can.
but yet like  小燕姐 says, it's important for the person to decide which is more important, the partner & r/s or career.
you can say there should be a balance between both. but how many people can truly say they are doing a good job?
有时真的要取舍。
success often comes with sacrifices. true story. 
hahhaa.


she also mentioned that she disagrees for a couple who are too busy with their own work and drifts apart from each other because of work... (i think this is just sad...cuz it shows that your work is more important than your bf/gf)
and this line really pow wows man...真的不要把机会让给所有...(meaning 其他的因素..be it 3rd party..stress etc.)...
not implying that the guy/girl wishes/wants to stray...but...你有太多的事情让他去跟别人一起去感受...而不是跟你一起感受....
when i heard the above line....it just strikes me...on how true that statement is....sometimes when a person strays...albeit the cheater has fault...but have the injured considered that he/she allowed the straying to happen... and this makes the injured at fault too..


in the episode, she encourages girls to date more. Not saying that you have to be easy/loose but to find a person that really suits you. and then she continued to add something that really strikes the bull's eye again.
in a r/s, there's no such thing as suitable but, you'll find someone who is able to adapt to you and you're able to adapt to him. 适应 is the key word.
i think that's very true. and of course, love is the motivator to 适应.




anw, MUST WATCH THE FOLLOWING EPISODE!! i find it very meaningful. :)
food for thought.

Love the way this MV was shot.

and i like the look of the male lead in the mv. 

MANLY~~~~

great song. ^^

Something Borrowed

it's a pretty good movie. teaches you something.

in life, you gotta do what you want to do. even when it hurts. 

instead of always doing what is right. 

sometimes being right doesn't make you happy.

and it can bring about unexpected outcomes.

it might actually do you and others good.

and he is REALLY REALLY CUTE.

my kind of cute.

his eyes are totally mesmerizing!!

heart it!

im going gaga over him. hehe.

just look at his side profile and smile!!

oh, that winsome smile....

*melts*

totally my type. hahahahha. opps =X

TOTALLY HAWT.

his hot bod. weet!

COLLIN EGGLESFIELD. 

this week sucks big time.

period.
i lost my pretty brolly that i really like. left it in the damn cab. ><
very upset this week.
everything's not going well.


argh.

Job search can be so draining...

it is so tiring and energy consuming to get a job.
exhausting....
send resumes, read JDs, write cover letter. send emails.
zzzz.




sigh, i need more luck. please.

You bring out the worst in me, idiot.

what an effing idiot.
incompetent
stupid
wayang moron.
gawd knows what he spouts in front of the bosses.
irritating shithead.


i officially declare i hate the place i'm in now.
i'm unappreciated/taken for granted.
very dissatisfied with the place.
thank gawd i'm leaving.


today is not a good day.
you cannot imagine how pissed i am today.
he tops it with a huge gold diamond crown.
cant believe the cheek of him.


ARGH. RAWR.

Lie to me is so cute!!

oh this show is just adorable.

what more with yin eun hye's character! 

:DDDDD

AWESOME!!!

new show new show! yay!

2 of my fav korean artistes! 

yippie!

i ought to start city hunter. hahaha.

WEEEEEEE......

picture perfect.

i think this is my fav grad photo at the moment.

reminiscing. :)

fond memories.

Opens my mailbox and sees this.....

got a shock of my life because i didn't expect to receive this.

thought that the chances were v slim.

after opening the package, i think indeed the chances are v slim.

queue no. 871 out of 604 flats available. 

sighs/gee.

this is all moving so fast. 0_0'''''

on a sidenote, this eliminates the excitement of being proposed to. hmph.

if we really are so lucky and able to decide on a flat that suit us, we are to be registered within 3 months and i'm to say yes to his proposal.

that just takes away the element of surprise and anticipation.

boo.

he won't even get nervous because he knows the answer i'll give right! YUCKS.

irritating and upsetting. haha.

ok.

i hope the proposal is touching at the very least if we really are to register! 

definition of touching: i have to cry. not out of pain, thank you very much. hahahahhaa.

       

alrighty, baby steps at a time. :)

2 more posts to 1000!

i still think transformers 2 is the best out of the transformers movie series.
hehe.


withdrawal symptoms.

Irritated

my pay credited to my acc is wrong.
how can it only be $500+.
grrr.
lousy and unreliable system!!!
RAWR!!

While searching for courses to attend online....

it made me realise that SMU's curriculum is well structured.
they really prepare us for the business world.

i've been trying to search for a course to attend so that i can finish claiming my educational welfare funds
and the courses i've seen are things that have been taught in school.
it made me a little regretful for not listening hard enough in class. hehe.

anw, i still have no idea what course to attend. RAWR.
ideas anyone? haha.

i'm a highly sensitive and volatile creature these days

dont piss me off.
i'm highly irritable.
my temper knows no boundaries.
RAWR.

I'm glad i'm leaving.

today reaffirms my decision for me.
this place is getting more and more unbearable.
even the $$ won't justify all the shit.
and the job exp means nothing.

maybe the future environment/job may be worse.
but at least i won't have ridiculous restrictions/ red tapes that make everyone's lives miserable.
or obnoxious people making 马后炮 comments because they have "crabs" on their shoulders.
or irritating people who all talk and no action and just waiting for others to take charge. (ok this is probably universal. haha.)
i'll definitely have more freedom.


*shakes my head. exasperated, really.*
ok i need to bai bai. RAWRS.

OMG what a ridiculous taxi uncle!!!!!

*gives some directions to my block carpark in MANDARIN*
*taxi reaches my block's carpark*

Me: uncle， 前面hump之后停。
*uncles stops at where i told him to*

*meter stops & it's time to pay $$*
Uncle: 你懂得讲华语吗？
Me: 懂啊。
Uncle: 你知道hump的华语叫什么吗?
Me: 不知道。
Uncle: 那你不懂得讲华语啊！
Me: 我现在正跟你说华语, uncle。
*=.='''''''' wtf? he's not making sense.*
Uncle: 可是你不知道hump的华语叫什么！你为什么说你懂华语？
* you mean, if i have no idea what hump is in mandarin means that i know no mandarin?! what kinda logic is this?!!! WTF. which means i've been giving directions and speaking to him in some foreign language [apparently not mandarin] and he actually understands my alien tongue??!!?!?!?!?  getting annoyed!! ignored the cab driver, waiting for him to hand me my change*
Uncle: 你想知道吗？
Me: 你要跟我说，我就听咯。(rolling my eyes in my mind profusely although my curiosity was piqued. Pride and annoyance prevents me from saying yes.)
Uncle: 哦，那你就失去一个学习的机会。
Me: 哦，好。 (like finally. LIKE I CARE!!!!!! i can easily find out if i want to. )
*paid cab fare and alighted*
Me: 谢谢. (says it super unwillingly. uber irritated by now! quickly alighted the cab.)


@#$#^&*^(#@$!@$^%((
weirdo!!

and i know what road hump is in mandarin now!
it's called 驼峰路! (or so says google translate. HAHA!)

ARGH.

uber irritated.......................... =.=|||||||||

This episode of KangXi is HILARIOUS!!

You can easily find the rest of the episodes. i LOL throughout the whole episode. heart it.


oh, and i like this singer from youtube who has just released her own album.







bedtime. zzzz

and so i've said.....

it's final.
the exit begins
and the job search commences.
3 more months...and it's adiós.


part ecstatic, part fear, part impatient.
glad to be finally moving on, scared of the unknown, can't wait to get out of there!
but the thought of having to go through the whole recruitment process and fitting into a new organization makes it daunting and uncertain.
and i'm gonna miss my lovable colleagues...at least the ones i clique with...
oh wells..天下没有不散的宴席..change is the only constant..

just today after an unprecedented long meeting at the HQ, my big boss hopes to make me reconsider by dangling a possibility of a talent management position in front of me...
haha.
ah wells...
triste amigo, but the commercial world beckons.


anyhow... i have a bkk trip and a long holiday in sep to look forward to.
target to get a job by sep. yups!
till then....

It's been at least 7 years...and still

these performances of "This I Promise You" never fail to make my heart contract.
truly awfully beautiful :)
♥♥♥♥ it.
i love when they sing it acapella. it makes me go awwwww.
this has got to be my all-time favourite song.
it's the perfect and romantic wedding/love song. *grins*




especially this performance. *melts totally into a puddle*
your voice's a god send, jc chasez. :)
justin timberlake sounded real good too.


i think one regret would be to not have watched and heard n'sync live.
haha. as bimbotic as it sounds. ;p

Counting down to D-day

5 more days to my delegation duty
10 more days to my TW trip!
yippie~~~ :DDDD


i've got an interesting country for my delegation duty. but i shan't disclose here.
aint too secure here. hahaa.
i hope the wife is friendly and easy going, if not, i'm deadmeat for the next week.


ahh, so many things to do this week!

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?

Get It Right - Lea Michele

What have I done? I wish I could run
Away from this ship goin’ under
Just tryin’ to help, hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is
On my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
‘Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right

To get it ri-igh-ight

Can I start again with my faith shaken?
‘Cause I can’t go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes
But if I get stronger and wiser

I’ll get through this

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
‘Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

So I throw up my fist
I will punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn’t fair
Yeah, I’ll send out a wish
Yeah, I’ll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see
How much I care!

What can you do when your good isn’t good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
‘Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
To get it ri-igh-ight

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


what can you do when your good isn't good enough. indeed.

The month of May is beckoning me.....

Let me tell you why im loving May 2011..

the red circles indicate the days i'm in office, working. aint it awesome?!
and who knows what briefings or meetings i have to attend that i don't know of yet?
hehe.
i think i'll have serious withdrawal symptoms when it comes to June.
bii will miss me much as i do him ^^
fun filled May, Yayyyyyyyyyy~~~
but first i gotta cure my irritating cough like FOR GOOD. it's back YET again.
seriously. -.-'''''' i've nv been sick so many times man & it's only the first half of the year.
i take mc until i also pai seh lo. oh man~~~ """"""""-.-""""""""

June is such a dry month. no PH or events. BAAAA.
only thing to look forward to is my excel course which i've gotta register soon. hahaha.
and i have a pathetic 7.5 days of annual leave left. so off-in-lieus are very important now.
of course, gotta press the sent button for my resume, also in the month of June.
oh! and Liza's wedding.
also, bii's birthday...my bro's birthday...daph's birthday....
alrights, it's gonna be a busy June afterall. haha!

This is usually what happens when im at his house

.

.

.

.

.

.

MUAHAHAHA. im evil.

he's so gonna nag me for posting this. hehe. xp

but im nt going to delete this post! ;p

im supposed to be working actually. hiakz!

but as usual, work is boring. le sigh.

ok la, the situation is usually reversed. i'm the one usually sleeping and he's at the comp, doing his thing/working. the reason why he's napping is because he stayed over at his friend's place last night. a girl's house! >< haha with a bunch of friends around of cuz. 

baaa!!! why do i have work to do over the weekend!!! =\

alright back to work.

sighs.

This is one of the reasons why Taylor Swift is so influential and successful. True Story.

she's really one of the most sincere artistes that i've ever known. truly touched. :)

South Korea 2012 - 안녕하세요! 한국

제주도.
서울.
부산.

15 Feb - 22 Feb. here i come xD

i wonder what nationality the locals will see me as. buahaha.

According to you. _I_

They both look gorgeous. :D

pretty!

i have allergic? allergy? cough

i have no idea what that is.
but im given an inhaler to treat it.
0_0!

now im freaked.

Sleepless in Seattle

I finally caught the movie.
it's supposedly a classic.
hmmm, but i dont know why.
i mean, yes, it's romantic.
but a tad idealistic. hahahaha


oh well, meg ryan loks real pretty anw. :)
sick yet again. sigh.
it's irritating.
stomach flu and now flu again.
gawd. stop already. ><

Valentine's Day?

it's uber overated.
everyone is obliged to do something on this day.


rights.

i cant stop raving about TAYLOR SWIFT!

I was ENCHANTED to meet you~

credits to my S95 *i should probably name my S95*

the concert was awesome!

fantabulous!

i'm still feeling the remnants of the high of the concert. love her to bits!

she wasnt as bad a singer like the critics say.

she managed to hit all the high notes and not go out of tune.

i've gotta say, she's got stage charisma.

her guitars and voice owns the stage. and her dresses as well. haha.

absolutely blown away.

it was the LOUDEST concert i've ever been to.

at one point, my ears actually hurt from all the screaming that was going on. 

its amazing.

the fans scream all the way. they dont use whistles!

and there were a lot of kids. i mean A LOT.

i was surrounded by them. 

and i love the way she mixes songs together.

and the way she exited was stunning. haha. she free falled off the stage. how cool is that. hahaha.

according to her, Singapore was the first stop of the world tour! how exciting!

thank gawd i managed to get tickets. it was SOLD OUT btw.

& i'm loving my Canon S95!!

it's ultimate awesome.

zoom x15 still can capture pretty good images~~~

and the videos were not too bad either.

will post it up on facebook soon.

i've fallen in love with her all over again

i'm soo gonna watch her again if she comes to Singapore in future.

and the next time round, im gonna get great seats! Qiu Qiu, it's a promise! ;p
my seats this time round were pretty crappy because it was the cheapest. we were sitting at like the highest sector.
by the time i got to know abt her concert and got round to buying the tickets (and it's a matter of minutes btw), only the cheapest were left.
and soon after i bought my tix, it was sold out a few days later.
can you imagine!?!!

& she really bothers to walk through the arena and mingle with the crowd.

it almost caused a mob. hahaha

she's really a sensation. really.

and she's really sincere and genuine in the way she talks.

this is probably why she has such a HUGE following.

everyone were singing along to her songs.

it's almost like an anthem. hahaha.

i bet singaporeans cant even sing the national anthem that well. HAHA. unfortunately.

it's really quite worth it to watch her concert. ^^v

*************************

she's really pretty & TALL. thought she looked pretty good in this shot albeit a little grainy. my S95 took it at 15x zoom btw. didn't do any editing.

maybe im more traditional than i think.

i think my parents will live a long life as my bro and i will unknowingly stay up which in turn, resulting in us 守岁。
haha. arent we filial!
and as the years go by, my bones ache more and more after spring cleaning my room. >.<""
as usual, my missing clothes will pop up after my bro does his cleaning.
cuz somehow it's always in my bro's cupboard. credits to my dad. haha.

and once again! my room is tidy and neat.
it's ultra spacious now. i think s301 can occupy my room comfortably.
but i took longer than previous year to pack and clean my room. dont know why.
my dinner was awesome. my mum cooked a little too much but the dishes were delicious. always love the reunion dinner on cny eve.

do you believe in not sweeping/mopping the floor when the clock strikes 12 on cny eve? it's bad luck.
and also, cannot wash clothes when clock strikes 12 too because you will wash your luck/wealth away.
i do believe in them and i guess it's down the drain this year.
haha. because i cleaned till 2am. opps =X
so i guess my wealth & luck will be bad this year? haha i hope not! *cross my fingers*
and it feels more like a new year to me now than new year's day.
i guess i'm more traditional than i think i am.
我是华人！

Happy CNY peeps! Hope everyone have a good holiday! HUAT ARH! it's the season to grow fat~~ YUMS

;D

My colleague says

i look sweeter with long hair.
what say you?


but i can't get past the detestable shoulder length hair. argh.
i just cut my hair again.
with bangs this time. hahaha.

the ONLY new year resolution that matters

to get a new job

and of course the holidays trips. :D

honestly, i dont feel like my year 2010 has ended.

perhaps ill feel that way when my ranking season ends.

shrugs.

till then.
