How many principles and rules should one have?
Recently, I have been breaking my own rules, doing things that I shouldn't have done if I were given a second chance.
Generally, I'm very lost. However, I know that no matter how lost I am, there is no way others could help.
I just want to run away... away... far far away...
I had a small bet with my Mei Mei.
If I can get a lower-priced air ticket to Bangkok, she is going to foot my air fare.
Hahahaa.... Strike! I managed to find at a much lower price. Yeah yeah, going to Bangkok in Jan'10...
Wah... it seems like I have been travelling non-stop...

郭静 - 慢慢纪念
天亮后
感觉疲惫
眼泪流过黑夜
我没发现
在你走后
地球转了几圈
看一眼
再想一遍
我失去的画面
如今变成那一个人替代我幸福的脸
阳光太过刺眼
幸福走得好远
偶尔打开过去翻几页
甜蜜还剩一点
我学着坚强去面对
不让伤悲太过绝对
看着生命最美好的一年
回忆留给昨天
我可以坚强去面对
那些曾经我不避讳
留不住或许还剩一张照片
慢慢去纪念

By chance, bought CLEO, December issue. In one of the topics, it mentioned and explained the meaning of QLC Anyway, after New Year, I'll have to start counting down for my birthday, which is only days away.... and I'll be 25.
Yah, no more a teenage, youth or even young adult. So, what should a 25 be called as? And should a 25 be doing?
Ok, what is QLC? According to CLEO, it refers to someone who still dont know what they want in life, not sure what they want to achieve after they graduated from their respective universities. No career, no relationship... Age between 23 to 26.
Yeah, I'm experiencing my QLC now... and apparently, I'm not alone. In fact, I belong to the majority.
Career
Been working for like 1.5 years, I still unsure what I like to do and want to achieve. However, my current boss, whom I quite like to work with, encouraged me to strive on. He told me that it's normal for me to feel insecure because I only worked for 1.5 years. Apart from telling me that, he dropped a BIG bomb from the sky. He told our team that he tendered his resignation a week ago and his last day will arrive very soon. Hai~
We have such a cooperative and harmonious team, why would he want to leave?!?! I thought our team spirit very strong and able to withstand anything for the next coming year.
Now, I have to start thinking whether I should continue to stay on or not... though many have told me not to be hasty.
Relationship
Depending on my fate and karma... hahaha... I think it is a risk to enter into a relationship eventhough you may know the person for several years. Bec. knowing the person for several years doesn't tell much about the person. In fact, you only know the person as a friend.
Why karma?!
Wrong guy = bad karma?
See how you interpret it...
"The past 6 months have been the most eventful of my entire life. The impacts were so great that shaken my peaceful life. Whether or not, I've walked out of my grief and will start my life afresh. As the ruins teaches me to stand on my own feet and there is a saying, what's done cannot be undone."
If its not one thing, its another...
Last Saturday, I had a small accident. My Xiao Hong accidentally gave a red Alfa Romeo a peck. The 'crime scene' was along Orchard Road, right in from of the bus stop of The Atrium @ Orchard. Luckily no scratch and dent. I received an sms on Sunday which informed me that the owner is not going to pursue this and likewise for me. Phew! The kind uncle let me off.
Yesterday morning, went to Sitex after my breakfast to recontract my mobile subscription with Starhub. When I was about to enter the Hall, there was this old lady who seemed to have difficulty opening the door. As such, I walked forward and used my full strength to pull open the door for her. Little did I know that the door was so light. The old lady who was grabbing on the handle almost fall on my. Then she turned back and gave me the stern look. I was like, "WTH, what have I done?!?!
I'm working towards it. (Cos I feel that I'm quite weak.)
Being a vegetarian is not enough. (Somehow, I'm not a damn strict vegetarian.)
So, have to exercise regularly.
Jogging becomes my first priority.
Keep it up!
Ms Wen is in a very good mood today.
Upon checking my mobile at 7am, I received an sms from a friend. This sms really brightens up my day! ;)
With just that, I feel more energetic and able to come to work in high spirits.
There is another reason that makes me more inclined to come to work, that is my new boss. From the first day of my reporting to this new boss, everyone has been telling me how lucky I am, how envious they are, how nice my new boss is and etc… I know I’m lucky enough to have this opportunity to work for/under him. Yes, it is a him.
For the past 1 year in this office, this is my 4th boss. Indeed, seems like I am always reporting to a new boss for every other quarter. Now not-so-bothered by whether I’m being ‘thrown’ here or there, what I know now is that, my new boss is a nice colleague.
This time, other than reporting to new boss, joining a new business unit, my workstation will have to shift. Company is ever-expanding. From just a director’s room size office to an office which currently occupies the whole floor in one of the Suntec Towers, it’s worth complimenting.
Maybe heard too much about my new boss, in terms of character, working attitude and standard, I kinda nervous on my first reporting day. So nervous that I ran to my colleague’s workstation and ‘borrow’ a box of sweet. Within 1 hour, I finished that. Pop one in every 2 minutes… hahaha….
Oh, today is already Thursday. Excluding today, I’m left with 4 more days to pack my bag for my long long break! I was having this little chat with my friend, little did I realize I have been flying so often for this year. This coming trip marked my 5th time, YTD 2009, to fly from Changi Airport. It might be my last too!!!
Alright, I think I skive for too long… ;)
Yours is 12 to 1pm? Or 1 to 2pm?
My lunch time is from 1 to 2pm.
Of course, we don’t have to be so rigid. There are times whereby we go early and come back late… Ops!
Have one ever wonder how many things we can do in that one hour? Definitely, there is a limit. However, we still can at least accomplish the most important thing and done what we wanted to do during lunch. So much so, what do you think office workers do when they are off to lunch?
Anyway, I had an enjoyable lunch with my 2 colleagues. After our meals, we went on to purchase bubble tea from another stall. Supposed to get some Teh or Coffee, but, ‘coffee shops’ within Suntec City Mall are so popular among the working class that it is always so crowded.
After our drink, I ‘dragged’ them into Arcade for a game. Played the Basketball machine! Hahaha… it has been sometime since I last played. Guess what, my colleague and I got 458 points together!!! For just 1 buck, we managed to play 5 rounds as we hit the qualifying points for next round!!! It’s so FUN!
Definitely, we will be back for more!!!! ^_^
Most of the time, I’m not sure what to put as my Display Name. As such, song titles are the ones that come to my mind. It’s a way to publicize/introduce new songs to friends and to convey hidden messages through the song title/lyrics or the song itself. I will always choose songs that I like, be it a moody song, sad song and etc….
It’s kinda funny when friends from msn responded differently to my Display Name.
For instance, I put ‘I Gotta Feeling’. It creates a buzz out of nothing. Many concern friends came to ask something like, “what feeling you got?” Initially, it caught me by surprise. I am not prepared to answer such question because there is no relation between the song title and my feeling. In fact, at that point of being asked, I don’t feel anything. Not sad, happy, nervous, frustrated, confused or etc… For the first person who asked me that question, I told him/her truthfully that it is the title of a song. Subsequently, I just replied, “I knew that you will ask! Haha…”
Anyway, this song is really nice to listen to when you are bored. It wakes me up when I feel like sleeping… not sure if anyone feels the same way… ‘That tonight gonna be a good night. (x2) That tonight gonna be a good good night~’
As for today, my Display Name is ‘Good Girls Go Bad’. This is also a nice song. The tune is very catchy. However, it doesn’t mean that a good girl will turn bad. If you labeled me as good girl, it doesn’t mean that I will go bad. How to define a girl to be good? How about bad girls?
For the past 24 years of my life, I have been stereotyped as good girl. If ever I made a mistake, they will be like ‘hey, why are you doing this? It’s not you!’ Oh com’on, we are all Homo sapiens. Things that you do/you can do, I can too. It’s only a matter of time and it’s up to me whether I am saying ‘yes’ to it or not.
Sometimes, what is the point of being good? Good guy short lived. Hahaa… unless I want to shorten my life…
*A typical and mindless aquarius girl who is uttering rubbish....
Hari Raya Puasa coming….
There will be another long weekend in September, a public holiday that falls on 20th September, Sunday, to celebrate Hari Raya Puasa with our dearest Muslims. For everyone’s information, pre-celebration started a week ago, along Changi Road. You will see that all the street lights are up and wet markets in operation. For those who like Ramli Burger, there are many stalls selling the same thing!
It’s a celebration for Muslims but frustration for all car owners who stays in near that area. In addition to that, my neighborhood is undergoing car park refurbishment. This worsens the car parking problem. I’m paying $65/month but couldn’t find a lot! Sian…

~Happy Teachers’ Day~
Didn’t realize that today is Teachers’ Day till I saw many kids running about in Suntec arcade. It is really good to have a break for all teachers… thank them for their hard work and effort…
Today is also a good chance to thank teachers who have helped or impacted your life. I have done my part, have you?!?!
___________________________________________________________________
What do I feel like doing?
It’s good to see MZ and Angie again… Though it’s only for a short while, the feeling of meeting buddies for dinner is great! We went to MOF and N.Y.D.C… Oh gosh, don’t get misunderstood… we are not glutton. It was just because we have different preference for dinner. Hahaha…
Yesterday, after our dinner, I went home to prepare for my next activity. (My cousin and I were in the mist of planning a surprise for Moi Moi’s 22nd birthday, which is today.) I told my sister that I needed to get some stuffs from my friend and I asked her to go with me. Already told my dad about the plan, my dad went on to urge her to accompany me. Hahaa…
Throughout the whole journey, she didn’t know where I’m heading. So, I drove her to Marina at the Keppel Bay. When we reached there, she was so surprised to see my cousins there and realized that we were going to celebrate her birthday with her… And we went on to light the cake, sing birthday song and cut the cake… Little did we know that her BF came to our place with another cake!
Moi moi, you are so damn lucky! Within 30mins on your birth day, you have already cut 2 cakes!
Wanna wish you a very Happy 22nd Birthday again!!!!
Now I'm counting down to May Day concert which will start at around 8pm…. ;)
Clicked on the UOB website and was browsing through the list of uni$ rewards. There are food vouchers, shopping vouchers, spa vouchers and even exchange for more krisflyer miles. With pathetically less than 2,000 uni$, I wanted to redeem it for $20 CapitaLand vouchers until I saw $20 SHELL vouchers. Indeed, to save $$ on my petrol, I chose the latter.
Because I saw this Headline yesterday:
ANOTHER ROUND OF PUMP PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
For now, 95 grade fuel costs $1.847/litre!!!
That’s really too much! With just $1.847, I can take either a bus or train from my place to as far as clement… that’s if I take bus/train. Hahahaaa…
My goodness, it’s just too costly to own a car in Singapore as I am spending practically ¼ of my net salary on it (not inclusive petrol, coupons, season parking, erp, car parking, accessories and etc…).
Whatever complaints I have, I just love my Xiao Hong and we feel that it’s worth it…
Usual talks in office:
A: Mei mei, I want to tap into your antenna. There seems to be some big news going around, do you have any idea what’s that about?
B: Er… how I know? (Pardon me, I can’t say much even if I know.)
A: Seems like there is someone leaving the company.
(Colleagues tend to ask me all these because it seems like I might know all these from my relationship with the HR manager and her ka gia.)
A: Are you busy?
B: As usual. (since you can’t say you are VERY free.)
A: Actually, I have forgotten what you are working on…
B: -_-'''
However, it becomes not-so economical when I have to sign up with fitness centre just to use their treadmill (paying slightly less than $1,000 for a one-year corporate gym membership) or drive to coastal park just to run (that’s what I am doing). After Friday’s talk with my boss, I will have to see him again when he is back from his business trip. It is to conclude our session and make a final decision.
Anyway, as per my previous entry, I supposed to go home right after my work. *shake head, I didn’t! Just a SMS, I headed west to join my friends at Wala Wala café & bar. The place is quite cool, definitely comparable to Timbre. Hahaaa.... Interesting, with fantastic live band music, fabulous food and drinks, especially with the people I hang out with… fabulous group of people… Wonderful place to chill out! what's more can I ask for on a Friday Night?! ;)
Guess what??!?! That’s not all. We went to Crystal Jade for supper after Wala Wala. At wee hours, majority of the other cafes like coffee bean, NYDC closed at 12am, except Crystal Jade. We were, sort of, left with 1 option, either that or go home. The night was still young! As such, we walked into Crystal Jade at 12am. CoOl!
It was a wonderful night… Thanks pal for asking me along… ;)
It’s time for storytelling again….
It’s a Friday! Aren’t I’m supposed to be out (chill out/party/dinner gathering) after work? *shake head*
I’m heading home to wait for my beloved sister to come back…
Going for a run… need some work-out… to ease our stressful/tired/under-utilized/over-utilized brains…
Interesting things that are happening in the office:
· Outside was raining and it was just right after my sumptuous lunch, I have difficulty keeping myself awake. Then while doing work, uncontrollably, I began to nod my head for every 5 seconds… till I was caught by my neighbor. She passed me some sweets while laughing. Next, I turned to another colleague, who is sitting behind me, he was already ‘mediating’.
· According to my ex-colleague, my workstation fengshui still not too bad. Though I’m sitting right below the EXIT sign, facing the entrance/exit door, beside common facilities area, such as facsimile, photocopier, printers and cupboard, as long as these area is clean, won’t have bad fengshui.
· This is the last week for me and my colleagues (7 of us queuing up) to buy the Hello Kitty toys from Macdonald Happy Meal! For those who don’t know, Mac introduced new set of Hello Kitty every Thursday! So, I have been spending my $$ on small-sized fries or corn, apple juices or milk, just to get the Cute toy. Now I’m so familiar with Happy Meal combination.
· One last thing that happen in my workplace (I guess same for other companies.) is that there are so many nicknames ‘flying’ around. There are Apple, Xiao Wan Zi, Best Friend, Mistresses, poly intern and etc… I think all these names are quite ok as it doesn’t really sound that nasty.
Hmmm... will tell more in my next entry...
As for now, I'm heading my department head office to talk to the director...
Emo… affected by friend’s words…
I know I may be young as compared to you… still, when you always say this, it left me thinking…
What do you really want to tell me?
Why do you always say that I’m young?
Do I have the right to make tons of mistakes since you say I’m young?
Am I really seems that childish to you?
Am I really that simple minded?
Isn’t it good to be easily contented?
Feeling uneasy…. On a Friday morning….
Life has always been peaceful till a couple of months ago when things started to head the wrong direction… The world’s economy gone into long depression… same for my world…
All of a sudden, there were too many things happening at the same time which I really couldn’t take it anymore. All I wanted was a getaway, to flee from this complicated and cruelty society. Exhausted, feeling terribly tired…
My life is in transition. I have to live with a series of misfortunate events that has forced me to grow up. I have to accept the fact and face it. I’m being taught by a friend, not to string all the events up and concluded it as my misfortunes… {Should break things up and solve it bit by bit… }
Now, I begin to understand the cruelty of this world. Have to keep an open mind. Nothing is perfect!
