  hi hi!
hi there!!!! I can't believe that i've forgotten all about my blog. Facebook has been all i do online. I've been such a recluse that I hardly ever come on msn even. OOopS.

Its so funny to read through the entries i've done in the past and laugh about them, or even reminisce. That's the beauty of blogs. Love it that i can look back now on the bad times and just laugh about it.. And thank God for all the beautiful things that have happened as well.

Life's such a peach....no actually I don't mean that. I meant that it really is COMPLICATED. I said peach only cause it had that nice ring to it. hah. I'm still in my transition time. When will i find something concrete in my life?

I don't know who is reading this now. If there even is anyone bothered to. But HI! and thanks for dropping by....xoxo

p.s. go listen to some erykah badu on imeem....sweet. sooths the soul.

  on my way!
i'm doing a bunch better now....mainly because i had made my decision to leave this job! i can't wait to go. yipeeeee.

I have this whole list of things i want to do. =)

  HELP! just save me from this hell hole!
AHHHHHH... i can't take it anymore! I am so frustrated!

I HATE MY JOB TO THE CORE. why? These are my top reasons
  1. People call me on weekends, DEMANDING to know information about the fair. DEMANDING being the key word here.
  2. I have to do sales calls (phone and in person). Do you know how demoralising and lowly you feel when doing it? People see you as pests. I talk till my mouth is dry, and my feet ache. Surely they don't need a graduate to do &*%#^ like this. I know i have to start from the bottom as the scum of the earth, but i feel i can do better than this!
  3. My work environment sucks! No good company, no decent stationary, office furniture.... etc. Its so POVO. I don;t even have my own phone line.
  4. My boss is a complusive liar. No doubt he's nice. I like him. But he over promises and always makes things sound better than it really is. He has the true art of bull shitting (sorry, pardon my choice of words) Worst still, he makes me join in his LIES sometimes.
  5. The company has a shitty finance system that creates such barriers to my projects. Making me embarrased when suppliers hound me for payment.
  6. But most of all.. why i can't stand what i'm doing is because I'm not happy jan. Zero job satisfaction. its not what i envisioned. My boss promised me a job scope which i am totally not doing at the moment. I'm called a marketing consultant. But i have become an events executive. Say what?
This job ain't glamorous. No doubt about it. But I didn't expect it to be THAT BAD. I don't think i want to stay any longer. its making me a bitter, upset, and demoralised person. I realised, its not even money i want anymore. i just want to be happy. even if i'm a happy poor person. Now if only i know what i want to do next.

sorry about the rant. i'm going to do something about it. pronto.

  who needs blogs anymore
I had a throughly enjoyable time in melb. Its so nice to be back somewhere familiar, see familiar faces and soak up the air.

melbournites! you guys got me so addicted to facebook! I don't see why people need a blog anymore since updates on facebook basically gives you the 411 almost immediately. Takes me half the time to load photos up on it too. =)

Big thanks to all of you who took the time out to spend that little time with me.

And EXTRA BIG thanks to brother blunt knife and jon. Who made my stay so much more comfortable in every way.

  Singapore River Market took years off my life

I've never worked so long and so hard my entire life. -_- It was fun at times, but mostly stressful. I worked 16 hour days for fri, sat and sunday!!! Man I can't wait for the holiday! And i don't think i will sleep tonight! I haven't packed and neither have i finished up stuff before i leave.

Well.. some fun things that came with the job.... My snake charming vendor let me take photos (for free.. hee) with his albino pyton named charlie brown. It's sooo preeeettayy (but heavy as). And on the right is my other animal friend, timmy the monkey. The balloon sculpturist lady gave it to me. I named timmy after min's husband, mr monkey loke. The picture was taken in Lee Kwan Yew's office between 1959 to 1993 or something. I used it as the organiser's room.



Here's sarah with her cow. I hired her to be my slave for the weekend. Thanks sarah! you were a great second pair of eyes, ears, brain and legs for me. I might have literally DIED without u keeping me grounded.


One of my most popular vendors of the fair was CCUP. Their cupcakes look great, and taste awesome. They sold out by sunday early arvo!



Here were some of the outdoor vendors... 30 in total



Some of the indoor vendors in The Arts House... 40 in total


I just read through my post again, and it sure was full of grammatical errors. SORRY. i can't be bothered editing. My brain's status is temporarily on "idle" from over working.

see u guys soon. i'm holding the same number 0422219682. so call me! let's go eat like there's no tomorrow.

Spotted this "thing" hanging around my loo. Really didn't miss these lizards when I lived in Melb. Still the first time i'd encountered one since returning tho.

  hi ho hi ho
no barrage of photos from this week/weekend.

had a pretty simple fri , sat and sunday. pretty good to chill considering the really crazy work week i had.

the coming week is only going to get worse. i know it. God help me.

i'm sick again! i haven't even recovered from the annoying dry cough yet, and i caught a cold yesterday. its been all cold and rainy here these few days. i wore 3 layers on sat, and my hands were still so icy. my friend reckons i was too vain to wear more, and my layers were too thin. erm. i wasn't prancing around in a bikini at sub zero temperatures?

i watched my first chinese movie since being back. hong kong action show called invisible target. SOOOO corny! haha. but the boys love it. anything with action, they'll go "woohooooo...yeah, that was awesome". every scene had glass shattering from a body thrown through it. hahaha.

i don't really have anything interesting on my mind now. * yawn* are you bored yet? I am! there are no photos!

Oh oh. i just remembered i have some....*fumbles through her computer's folders*

went to this place called "the french stall" on weds night with miki and joel. its this no frills french restaurant set in a coffee shop.


and went for drinks after at the singapore swimming club. sweet.

ok. good night.

Today is the worst day I've had at work since

the real world is.... tough

And i still haven't grown up enough to handle it.

What will make me smile again?

Hmmm... I think another weekend to live in denial will do the trick

  photo galore
Lynette's 21st @ One Rochester... Friday

Is this not a great photo?

Everyone in theme! RED & GLAM


Birthday girl looked so pretty. Great hair, nice makeup, hot dress... everything was nice and peachy.


Some of lyn's friends who gave speeches. All her friends are HOT. haha... but it was only the girls though. haha.


I only put this photo up because i thought it was funny that on the projector was mun and lyn going RWARRRR, while lyn was having a touching moment listening to the speeches. haha


Photo of the happy family. Notice the contrast of 3 sad faces at the back? lol



This is the prettiest cake/profiterole stack I have ever seen! It's SOOOOO PRETTY. All individually iced and decorated. Tastes not too shabby either!



Mel Fam. She's really fun. Had a good time dishing crap to each other the whole night. haha. In Godly love of course.


And then there was chao yang (keith) who just laughed at anything and everything. I chose this photo cos mel looks nekkid. haha. And chao yang really looks like he's from chao yang. Kidding guys! hehe.


Trying to be creative wuth our profiterole. But ended up looking real corny.


2/3 of the unit 3 boys.


Mun mun! Her dress is so pretty and lacey.


Beauty and the Beast 1



Beauty and the Beast 2


Lenny boy and her brand spanking new hairdryer. HEY! did i hear a "HUH"? Its a useful gift k!


Hey Lyn.... your party was fun fun fun. Although I did feel a million years older than most people there. haha. Yummy food, free flow drinks, and great company! Was the perfect friday night event to brighten my not so bright week. Turned my frown upside down.

Wesley YA retreat @ Mt Emily... Sat/Sun

The view from the roof top of our "hotel".


Just chilling and chatting all day long. Must have been the most relaxed retreat i've ever been to. Really good, cos i needed to unwind.


Supper was rochor's famous beancurd jelly, soy milk and dough fritters.


Andrea and I have an enemy. His name is Sun. Our best friend's name is Shade. And our sidekicks are Sunscreen and Sunnies. So stop making fun of us, or we might just use our super hero forces against you. muahahhaa.


After the retreat, met lyn to say bye. Dinner with Seki. See how bad I look at the end of the weekend? UGH.... i'm not ready for work on monday! i'm so wrecked.

Oh and see that funky bowl of green liquid thingy? Can you guess what that is? If you get it right, I'll buy you a gift....on facebook. ahaha



Work Trip @ Sentosa... backtrack to thurs


On thurs I was rather looking forward to attending cell so that I could unwind and be part of some social activity. Alas I had to work. but at least I wasn't stuck in the office. I had to go experience sentosa so that our firm could come up with some collaterals for them.

Here's my wacky colleague and I on my most hated fruit. Don't you think it smells too? yeah. I know i can see you nodding furiously into the screen.


I was so unprepared to be in sentosa. I wore a dress, 3 inch heels and 2 layers. -_-"

The crazy dude on the right's my boss. I guess it was pretty fun to do all the activities for free, courtesy of sentosa. The luge was heaps fun. Come on now, everyone say "LOOOOOGE" with me. Neither of them could pronounce it right. haha.

Like my blue helmet? I predict it to be the new IT item for next season.


We went into this 3d movie room. And when we saw the psychedelic lights, joyce and I went crazy with photos. hahahaha. Yes yes, I know, you must be thinking, "weren't we there to work?" Hey.... fun's all part of the process. We have to SUBMERGE ourselves in the product to market it right? hahaha


Killing boredom. Seriously. Only tourist would pay $16 for a 15 min 3d mini movie.



I need another weekend to recover from this one. I'm shacked to the max.
Night
