Going off...

I'm leaving this Sat morning for GZ! Finally the day I've been waiting for is here.

But..I'm still doing some work before I can leave in peace. Sighz..wonder how much of it I produced will be used in the end. Nevertheless, promised my boss to give it to her before I leave. Hope can send out by this evening, and then I'd put a complete stop to my work and focus on packing! My mood could have been better if not for this.

My schedule this week:

On Sun, went to gym as usual, but the usual yoga instructor was not there. There was a Chinese lady, she's not as good as the Indian guy. Oh well, my trial membership is expiring soon, dont think will renew it. Quite a pain to travel all the way to town to exercise. Unless I drive of course.

Monday, met up with ZX and colleagues for Party World at Chinatown. Went to the Indian temple for a while and saw some rituals celebrating the Fire-Walking Festival. Singing was ok, haven sang in months though.

Tue, went for a painful facial and the beauty consultant tried to convince me to prolong my facial package. Doubt I will do that. Too X, I rather splurge on Biotherm products.

Wed- happy halloween!! Going to Timbre 2 later...heehee..cant wait.

Thu - my farewell dinner with family cum aunts. Thinking of going to travel agency to check out some china deals b4 that.

Fri - should dedicate this whole day for packing and sorting out admin stuff. Lotsa things to do man..So last min.

Sat - GZ, here I come! =)

Every beginning leads to an end, every end has a new beginning

Read this somewhere and it's really true.

Everything that you start on, you will come to an end sooner or later. It could be a piece of assignment, report, career, relationship, or life. So if it's tough, be glad it will come to an end; if it's enjoyable, cherish every moment.

Every end signifies a new beginning, such as the end of school life and beginning work, end of my work and going to GZ soon. I just hope exams will end soon, and it's indeed ending this Sat. In a happy yet stress mood. Happy that I'm leaving and stress coz rushing for the essay and preparing the exams. Hmm...

Heavenly Once More

The Heavenly Jacky is coming to town for a concert again. Actually I dont really mind going to see him again leh..who interested? His songs are so so nice...Heard that Jay chou is coming too..

Exams next week, and i'm ill-prepared. Really taking it easy man...I think I shd start reading Chinese newspaper from tomorrow onwards. Ok, onz! And speak more Chinese. But before that, need to finish my essay and some presentation stuff with group members. After that, I'd be clearing leave. Good..can go for more yoga..really addictive...yoga is good in improving breathing, posture, maintain a state of zen and peace.

Heard some juicy news: the girl staying over at this guy's house; the girl getting married again (which is a good thing); and this girl getting married next year. Not convenient for more details to be exposed here.

Updates

A couple of things happening.

Boss' son 3rd B-day
----------------
Attended my boss' son 3rd birthday party at Jade - the location is superb, just a few steps to West Mall and a couple more to the BB mrt station. Nick is really really fortunate to be my boss' son, lotsa love from his parents and relatives, lotsa toys, heard that he's got so much that he has to put the rest at his grandparents' place. Lotsa digital SLRs aiming at the b-day boy! Now I know why one colleague remarked that whoever marries Nick will be damn lucky. WH brought along his Zeze too..super cute!!

Unexpected Maternity Leave
-------------------------
This Tue, my pregnant colleage suddenly went into emergency cezar. She couldnt feel the movement of the baby and sensed that something was wrong, so she took leave immediately and went for a check-up. And lucky she did, coz the doctor realise that the umbical cord was hanging around the baby's neck! Heard that for most cases like that, the baby will not survive. Luckily her 6th sense saved the baby! Now that both mother and daughter are ok, I can only heave a sigh of relief for them.

Conference on Hari Raya
----------------------
Yes, this sat is a public holiday, but I didnt get to sleep in. Woke up at 6+ to be in time for a conference held at Suntec. Met alot of big shots. During lunch, this ang moh who sat beside me turned out to be the Australia court federal judge. He sounds very humble, no air at all. Not like the rest of the ang moh lawyers. Talked to a lawyer from New York too, but didnt manage to get his card! Didnt stay on for the rest of the conference as it's too legally technical, so went off half way. Dont think there's any compensation for the half of my sat spent at the conference too.

Mean people at work
-----------------
Dont mean my colleagues, but people from external bodies that i worked with. This Indian girl from a research institute actually said a damn scarstic remark to me in the lift in front of everyone to my surprise. She was so quiet and even timid at time. Was in a state of shock for a while before I could retaliate. Then this lady from a conference organiser dropped a time bomb on us on Friday by changing lotsa things which was agreed upon, and she was so mean and refused to get a VIP lot for my big boss until i had to call suntec. She bluffed me saying that VIP lots are only for ministers only. Take me for a kid!! Hate people who bluff me with all these bullshit! These are just a few egs of mean pple that i've met so far. Hmm...this world is full of stupid people, and I will be even more stupid to fall into their traps and be angry with them (learnt that from another colleague who's essentially numb to all mean things). But sometimes you just need to show them u are not to be trifled with, and put the unhappiness behind.

Others
-----------
Lotsa stuff due, what's new? 3,000-word essay, a presentation on the analysis of a poem (which i've no idea how to start), exams coming... I could see the end coming near. But at the same time, i also have stuff due at my work before i can fly off. As expected, they're not letting me off so easily.
