When i was a young little thing, i used to think of what i'd do, where i'd be when i grow up. Being a young and ignorant lass, i used to have big aspirations, not that they were all unrealistic coz if i had put my heart to it, there was still a possibility of me fulfilling one of those dreams. But well, that's all in the past, and since i'm all grown up now, it's high time i faced up to reality and stop putting my head in the clouds.
Its really strange how as kids, many of us yearned to grow up quickly and become one of those adults who didn't have someone breathing down their neck. When we really do grow up, however, we wished that we hadn't and want to go back to those carefree days when we were still one of those innocent young things. Talk about irony. Kekekkee....
Anyway, contrary to my childhood dreams, i think what i really want now is to lead a simple life. I don't need to live in a big house, to own a flashy cabriolet, to have lotsa platinum cards, or be so loaded that i can go shopping everyday and not have to worry about vitamin M. After hearing so much about experiences of others, i realize that i'm actually quite fortunate and i should count my blessings, instead of complaining that things aren't going well for me, blah blah blah, etc. I'm not saying i'm totally going to quit complaining coz i know its not possible given my character, but i'll definitely try to see whatever comes my way in a more positive light.
So i'm now all for the Big S, no, not the Taiwanese actress who's with zai zai. My Big S stands for Simplicity. 简单就是美. I just want a simple and quiet life, not being caught up in the web of forever being worried about mundane things. Kekkekee...such an idealistic notion, isn't it? But of coz, in the process of striving to keep things simple, i'd still cherish whatever i have now so that i won't live to regret in the future.

I'm so bored at work that i'm resorting to blogging to keep myself entertained. Not that i don't want to work but everything i need to do is on hold at the moment coz i need pple to get back to me before i can continue with my tasks. Sianz. I'm falling asleep soon. And the worst thing is time seems to be crawling today.
The saddest thing would be that though i'm so free in the office these days, i have to OT over the weekends during the CNY period. Even more sianz....kekkeke... Alright, enough of whining.
Seriously i wonder if there's really tt much stuff to do for my manager coz i always see her staying back late but i never see her doing much. Is it coz i don't understand the nature of her work or coz she's just plain inefficient? Whatever....

Its been one and a half months since i started on my job and work has been so-so. Not fantastic but not bad either. At least the people there are quite nice, so at the moment, i don't have much complaints.
Admittedly, most of my jobscope doesn't really require a graduate to accomplish, and i do quite a lot of so called "sai gang". But seriously, who doesn't have to do all these when they just start out in the society? I can only say that those who get jobs that maximise their potentials and fully utilise whatever they've learnt in school the moment they start working are lucky asses, coz it's something that's almost impossible. So instead of complaining, i'd rather save my breath and complete whatever i've been assigned to do even if it may be some shitty stuff that my manager pushed on to me coz she doesn't want to do it herself.
If possible, i'm going to use this year to hopefully gain some experience and bid for some time to decide on my next step. Honestly, i can't deny that this is a perfect job if i were thinking of furthering my studies coz other than the occasional weekend events or rare OT, i seldom have to work outside my official working hours. But in terms of prospects, its almost equal to zero. Of coz there are other factors that would affect my decision, so i really have to weigh my options carefully before make my decision on what to do next.
Alright, enough about work.
Sometimes i wonder how much i truly know myself. Do i really know myself as well as i think? I've always prided myself on being a person who knows my faults very well even if i hadn't been able to correct these personality flaws. But there have been circumstances when i've been forced to step back and look at what i've done and think otherwise coz some of the things that i do at times are even beyond my comprehension. And when i stop to reflect after that, i regret my actions and reactions most of the time. But as the saying goes, "What's done cannot be undone" and there's no point crying over split milk, so i can't really reverse whatever damage that has been done. What i can do instead, would be to learn from these mistakes and try not to repeat them again. I know its easier said than done, and i don't want to promise anything coz i don't want to make empty promises but i'll just try my best in keeping to this resolution.
Compared to many others, i think that i'm really fortunate coz i haven't met much adversities in my life so far. Whatever i've been through is only an anthill compared to what many of my close ones or friends of theirs have experienced. I don't know whether i'm lucky or unlucky in this sense but i'm quite sure most people will think that its e former coz if given a choice, they would much rather have a smooth-sailing life, a happy family, caring friends and a loving better half. I guess that's true in a certain sense but somehow, leading an over-protected life also encumbers one from growing up, which may be a reason why i'm so childish and immature in handling a lot of stuff at times. Its about time i grow up and learn to treasure the wonderful things i have in life before i lose them.

Looks like i've grown used to the frequency of updating my blog only once a month. Kekeeeke... Opps, seems a bit contradictory to what i said in my previous entry, but well, there really wasn't much to write about. Its not that totally nothing has happened in the past month, but sometimes i think that blogging about unhappy stuff only makes other people unhappy as well, which isn't something i'd want happen, that's why you'll seldom see me writing about myself being sad. Sometimes i do have the urge to use my blog to let off some steam but at this moment in time, i still don't see the need to do that. Maybe when i start working, u'll see me doing that pretty often. Yes, fyi, i've finally found a full-time job. Credit goes to Dorae for telling me about the nature of the job and what they are looking for. Thanks, i owe u a treat there.
Still 2 more weeks before i start on my job, time for some shopping! =P Oh yah, i just bought a new phone yesterday as well. Sonyericsson W850i in black. Was debating over whether to get that or K800i but ended up prefering the navi-key to the joystick coz i had so many problems with the sensitivity or rather the insensitivity of the joystick when i was using my K750i. Hope its gonna be a right choice. Kekkeke...
Btw, to all those of you who are already working out there, continue to jiayou. However frustrating the situations maybe, i trust that you'll be able to pull through with sheer determination and grit, which is something i believe that all of my beloved friends out there possess. So preserve, i'm coming to join you guys soon!

I've been reading my previous posts in my other blog and i realized how much my writing has deteriorated. I guess its mainly due to a lack of practice that led to the deterioration and my laziness in blogging certainly has not helped in the situation. However, i must maintain that sometimes its not coz i don't want to blog, its coz i don't have anything that i want to blog about. Granted, there are sure to be at least some stuff worth writing about in my life, but sometimes i prefer to keep these special moments to myself instead of blogging about them and letting the whole world know about my sentiments.
Anyway, i'm going to try and write more in the future, maybe not in terms of blogging but i just don't want myself to lose touch with writing, be it in eng or chi. This is a promise to myself, and i hope i'll be able to fulfil it coz writing helps me to think more clearly and in a logical manner. Reading my past writings or entries also helps in my reflection process, thus helping me to gauge whether i've bettered myself in terms of handling various issues.

I have been sick on and off ever since i came back from hk, which maybe explains why i haven't been going out much. The virus seems to be circulating around my house, and my youngest bro and mum are the latest victims. It feels great to have someone taking care of u when u r sick though, kekekkee.....thank U (U know who U r =P ) very much for everything.
Anyway, it was really warm over at hk for the whole 5 days we were there. No sign of the supposed typhoons that were troubling China at all. It was so hot that i wore berms and flip flops everyday except the first and last when we had to fly. It was really very much of a shop and eat and shop and eat experience. Kekekkee...can't help it when all three of us are shopaholics. We managed to eat quite alot of local delights that we wanted to eat, but strangely enough, one of the things that we enjoyed eating most was ajisen. Also don't know why, but i think the ajisen over at hk is much nicer than it is over in sgp, and the prices are cheaper as well.
I think besides the usual stuff that we know hongkies love to eat like roast meat, pineapple bun and egg tarts etc, one other thing that they also love is mango. Serious. You can find mango in most of their desserts. They even have mango yogurt. But too bad we all preferred the original flavour after trying both flavours.
Oh yah...we went for a ktv session on our last night there. It was pretty ex, ard S$30 but we sang for around 7 hrs and they provided buffet dinner as well, so it was quite worth it. One thing i liked about their ktv is that they provided disposable covers for their mics, making it a much more hygienic experience as compared to the ktvs in sgp. They also gave us a room with 3 mics, which meant that each of us had a mic to ourselves. But their system isn't as fast as ours if you compare the loading time for each song.
To conclude about the trip, its really fun when u go overseas with friends, esp friends who you are really close with and know you really well coz you don't have to worry about whether they mind alot of things coz you all know each other well enough to know whether they care about certain things. Hmmm...did i lose you in there? Kekekke...anyway, you just have to know that i had fun though i burnt a huge hole in my pocket. =P

Finally rounded up my celebrations with my fellow princesses and queen yesterday. This meetup was supposed to take place last week but coz of superband finals, it was postponed. My fault, sorry sorry.... =P
I must thank my three royalty darlings for taking the effort to celebrate with me amidst their busy schedules. I'm really very touched. Kekekke...though its a belated celebration, they made me feel like it was the actual day all over. The birthday ribbon from DJ made me feel so paiseh coz i was made to wear it all over town for the whole day. Kekekkeke...but i got used to wearing it after sometime lar..coz it wasn't that striking on my white shirt. In fact, i think it matched quite well. =P
The birthday cake wasn't as much a surprise as the number of candles on it. Kekekke...considering the size of the cake, i'm really impressed by how the princesses squeezed the candles onto it. And i must say i really went to the toilet for quite a number of times yesterday. Lolz.
Of coz i must also thank PP Cheryl for creating the flash that can be seen below. Its another nice surprise! Kekekke...i really like it alot. Thank you!
And i'm so sorry i won't be around on your birthday, PS. Nevermind, like what DJ says, she'll bring along my photo when you all are celebrating, so i'll be around in spirit k? Kekekke...i hope you all have fun on tue and wed! Happy birthday in advance!
Oh yah, for those of you who are still unaware, i'd be away from 15 to 19 aug. Will be going to HK with KJ and KL. This is the first time we are going overseas together although we've known each other for quite a long time. I'm excited! Hope we'll have fun though, coz there is the possibility of typhoons. I'm praying that they don't hit HK next week. Anyway, take care k, all my darlings. I'm gonna miss all of you. But i'll only be away for 5 days lar, so don't miss me too much k...Kekekkeke... =P
