yes indeed i'll have this week off. feels damn shiok actually. woohoo! haha
anw last friday was such a hectic at work man. cos my bosses are flying off the nxt day and i had to photostat and get all their sample documents ready. then it was like last min some documents cant find. and as for those original invoices from the payment vouchers, i swore i made copies of them alr, bt somehow they just didnt appear. so i had to find the file for the months, pull out those payments vouchers to copy those invoices again, when it was like only 45mins left to dock off. cos previous hour we had com. session, so ate up some time. the last 45min of tht day was the most exciting and anxious part of work so far as of 5jan when i started work. lols. cos i was really racing with time, i was soooo scared tht i couldnt get all the documents ready in time! but phew, i made it. haha.
after work i was supposed to meet tiffy to go for some sales and marketing briefing, but we decided to abandon as we think its a scam. lols! so we ended up dating at vivo carls junior! hoho! omg i just love the beef chili cheese fries a hell lot. yea and so we ate and chatted for quite some time, ard 8+ 9 i guess. its just so fun talking to her, and shared all out different exp and encounters at work. its just so hilarious. hoho. then we shopped for jh and val's gift cos theres gna be a surprise party for them the nxt day. okay i shall talk abt it in a while. so we gt jh knickers! HAHA! and val this cute double A thingy. lols. and i phoned with simin till like 4am?! omg!
so came sat and i had such a hard time waking up man. lols.went for tuition then badminton at SP with churchies (: it was fun and it felt damn shiok. cos its really been eons ever since i last exercised. the last time prolly was last yr aft As before prom, where i played tennis w huihui, mirah and ben! yeah i realised i kinda missed badminton, ever since trg stopped in mid sec4. and yes my body ached all over the nxt day, even till now-tuesday! goodness! yes i feel so fat and unfit, i wanna play sports! bt no one to play with. i'll prolly go swimming this wk ALONE. then it was jh&val surprise party at night. met at cck at 1030. yes 1030! goodness! for the first time i left hse at 9+ for an event. lols. yeah so i was super early la. bt jian was there alr. cos he's actually the IC. omg can you believe it?! lols! lev&jw actually entrusted such an impt task to him - the cake and the misc stuff. you can see jian he's really trying to be very careful and meticulous not to screw up anything- from the cake, to the notes, pens and party hats and candles! haha.
so everyone met at cck macs to write the notes. then we made our way to cck park and started prep all the stuff:
yeah we had to get our party hats ready

and dress the monster up. LOLS! XD

light and line up the '19' candles!

plus the birthday cake!

and cos jh and val are blind folded, so we had to act like strangers to give her birthday hugs, which she alr had thruout the whole day at botanic and night safari - cos they had this tag hung ard them, saying birthday hugs. haha. it was so hilarious man, esp jh! she was really scared! haha. then there was party poopers, birthday song and both of them had to blow out all, YES ALL, the candles. hoho. then its sparklers time!
lev with her heart!

jw&lev with I <3>

4 HAVOC! how lovely (:

val&jh with 19 (:

how fireworks mode really works wonders! XD

lev&jw were really sweet to plan this whole thing for their gfs (: maybe i shld do smth for mine too! hoho XD ohyea then we all cabbed home. think jian was a bit - to follow our cab home cos he was gg khatib, bt we're gg bb then clem, aft which then e cab went khatib, its like a big round la. and khatib is so much more nearer frm cck then clem. lols. then he said the cab fare was like 34. but he was really nice to drop us home first. thanks weijian! (:
anw ytd was so much like a sat. cos im home, my mum's on leave too and my bro has study leave, so everyone is home. haha. woke up an hr late bt still managed to catch the oscars! benjamin buttons, slumedog millionaire and dark knight were nominated in most awards, but slumdog swept 8 awards outta 10 nominations, goodness! so i guess it has to be a really really nice movie. yup, so gna catch it ltr at jp with tiff wee jt. after which me and tiff are slping over at simin's! nv stayed over at simin's. haha. woohoo so excited! and cos simin is off on wed and thurs, while tiff starts work at 2 on wed i guess, so theres time! dno wht we're gna do on wed, but guess we'll decide ltr! hoho! and guess wht? im meeting my gfs on sunday for coffee talk! lots and ltos to catch up on. YES our dear huihui is finally AVAILABLE after the long wait. this is like our 1st OFFICIAL meet up after christmas, where we made a pact to meet up have a meal or smth once every 2 wks! and its already 2 months! GOODNESS!
guess i shld spend time planning out this wk and nxt and nxt nxt cos theres bound to be lots of stuff going on and coming in. and i have to start searching for devotions for thai mission trip (yes we had our first meeting last sun) and do my sums correctly to see if i can make it for the 2d trip. argh. irritating.
okay gotta pack my bag and run for tuition now. ciao!

♥ 11:57 AM
yes its lunch time, and im here blogging while eating.
cos my lunch partner is meeting her ex-colleagues for lunch tdy.
anw recently more and more things are cropping up and seriously, i dont know wht to do, or rather, i dont know wht i CAN do. everything just seem to screwed up now. gosh.
okay so firstly, guess i wont need to report to work nxt wk since 2 of the heads wont be ard as they'll be having training at UK Jersey. and cos i dont have access to their system (or rather they dont let me have access), so there isnt much i can do. so yea. the other colleague will prolly call me in on thurs/fri if she needs me help. so mon-wed im off! well it may be a gd thing in a sense tht i finally get to rest and enjoy holidays w/o doing anything, or rather to do whtever i want and to SLEEP IN! on the other hand, it means i'll have no pay. bleah. i was actually thinking of signing up for one HA camp, but decided not to cos think it's quite last min cos its like nxt wk, and guess i would want to stay home and rest and stuff. ohyes, maybe i should PACK MY ROOM! its been HALF packed - since the As. oops =x
okay then secondly, i'll be missing NUS open hse! goodness. cos i'll be flying to thai for church mission trip on 14 mar morn! and the open hse is 14-15mar. argh. im quite anxious actually. cos its like NUS will prolly be one of my main choices, and yet i cant go for the open hse to know wht i am/have to know - like wht courses, the programmes available, scholarships, financial aids, tuition fees etc etc. this time there'll sure lots of qns to ask cos its MY enrolment. Yes im sure all these info can be readily retrived from the web, but its just different. you'll wanna know wht exaclty a course is about, wht do you exactly learn, wht are the future career options and stuff. cos info frm the web will just be wht WE deem it to be, but we wont really know wht it entails till we hear it frm ppl who're actually taking the course of the pros, cos it may be totally different frm wht we think/thought it is. and knowing all these is impt, cos it will directly/indirectly affect the rest of our lives. As in like even before sec/jc enrolment we went for open hse. imagine this is UNI, such a major decision and yet i'll be missing the open hse. GOODNESS! and so im really kinda scared. but i dont wanna, you know, like carry this burden or regret over to thai during the mission trip, i mean its just wrong/bad to do so. so guess the only thing i can do now, is just to leave it in the hands of the lord, and have faith tht he will prepare the best roads for me, and tht i will have access to whtever info i needed to know.
yea in addition tht wk is like the 2nd wk aft the release of results (dont know how confirmed 6mar is) yea which means i'll only 1 wk to settle everything i have to settle before flying off. cos deadlines for most scholarships is 2wks aft release of results. yeah then apply Uni prolly aft im back from thai. but i also have only 1 wk to do so cos i'll be flying hk on the follow wk. goodness! i've thought of postponing the flight, but the air fares to hk for apr have escalated to more than double my sale fare. yea and i wld prefer to go with my family. yup so everything is in such a bad timing. arghs. yeah so im quite scared tht i'll like miss certain deadlines or interviews(if there is any) and stuff when im away. bleah. yea so everything just seems kinda screw up now. but like i said, guess i can only PRAY. test of faith.
in these times of uncertainty about our own futures, guess we all can only hope for the best.
anw simin called me ytd! and we had a long long chat. its been long ever since we had a long chat over the phone. we used to do tht quite often back then during our secondary days. gosh im making myself sound so old! haha. we talked abt lots of stuff, from setting up a blogshop, to wht uni course we wanna take, to gossips, to working life, to the economy, and even to bush, obama and mas selamat. LOLS! yeah it was so nice catching up with her again. yes we'll meet up soon! (:
yes you can see im free nxt wk! hoho.
anw gtg work now. ciao~
absence really makes the heart grows fonder;

♥ 8:18 AM
gloomy gloomy morning.
for the first time i went to work, the skies are grey.
well tht was kinda random. anw, went to send weiwei off on mon, stayed over at deb's to send yx off the nxt morn. actually wanted to stayover at the airport, but since deb offered her house, so why not eh. haa. anw we cabbed tgt the nxt morn. cos according to deb, it takes an hr to bus to work though she lives in the east! yea so theres no more yx until june ): yes and cos of sending her off, i took a day leave off work! it feels damn shiok and exciting to take leave. haha. prolly cos its my first official leave which i took. LOL.
met tiffy later tht to day watch DEFIANCE. yeah DANIEL CRAIG (: we were all in rush cos it was kinda last min. initially we agreed on changeling at ps. bt somehow we were still deciding, then in the end we realised we wont be able to make it in time to catch the movie cos we were all still home. so last min switch to defiance, which was still a rush thou. lol. had to wait for tiffy to buy tic cos STUDENT PASS is $6. hoho. yea so think we were like 5 min late for the movie. but nvm, i think its a pretty nice movie. i dno, i just have a thing for war movies.
so it was about during the Hitler times, where the jews were condemned. There was this group of people, called the Belskis, who fled and hid to live in the forests, and whenever Germans found them, the whole group would run, taking only weapons and ammunitions, while some of the men would stay to fight off the Germans to allow the rest of their fellow Jews to cover more grounds. So it goes on to show how these 3 brothers overcome difficulties and obstacles to lead the Jews, to keep the community alive, to provide for them, to protect them. There was this time when they came to desperation as German planes drop bombs over the forest, so they fled until a point where it was the waters. It's either the walk across the waters, or stay there to fight. Knowing tht it was impossible to fight the Germans, and quite impossible to cross the waters cos its quite deep actually, the leader actually was at a loss of wht to do, he really didnt know wht to do. Until the other brother came back and said: ''Moses is not going to part the waters for us, but we can all do this together. The men will carry the children on their backs, and the strong will support the weak." so he gathered all the people's belts and stuff and linked them tgt, and hand in hand, they all crossed the waters to the other side of the land, and yes they all did it. I was just simply amazed by this scene.
Apparently this is a true story. The Belskis lived in the forests for another 2 years, and despite people dying frm the fighting, frm sickeness and harsh living conditions, their numbers grew. Sadly one of the brothers didnt live to see his child, while the other 2 started a business and continued for another 30 yrs. These are people with a dream, a vision, hope and faith. Thats why they succeed. Worth the time and money (:
Flipping thru the papers everyday, seeing news of firms, big & small, in all sorts of industries, all facing financial crsis, retrenchment, losing billions and billions. This is really depressing and sometimes it really makes you wonder, what is the world coming to? what is the world becoming of? I once heard someome say tht such financial crisis comes once every 10 yrs, which is kinda true i guess. theres 1998 Asian financial crisis and 1987 Global financial crisis, and now, theres another global financial crisis. So prolly its just a cycle thing in which nature takes its course? haa. i really dont know.
anw i have some plans for the rest of the hols:
- screwtape letters on 27feb
- disney princess on ice on 13mar(tentative)
- mission trip to thai in mid mar
- 30mar-8apr HongKong (: (book tic alr at sale fare!)
- church retreat to msia in june
- aus if i still have time and money (hoho)
yes its getting bloody exciting. LOL! at least now i have smth to look forward in the midst of boring working life. wheeeee! i hope this sat all the boys will be out, cos its VALENTINES yo. hmmm...which one shld i pick? HOHO! but peanuts will be out for sure! and i still owe him a beanie! anw i wanna catch benjamin buttons!
hoho anw ytd i topped up my ezlink at 7-11 cos im no where near an mrt. so i wanted to top up $20 but they charge 50cents for the service so $20.50. but i only have $20, so i say then just top up $10. then this morn when i took the bus i realise the value was $29.95. hoho. so i knew the person must have forgotten to cancel the previous $20 top up transaction. so now theres near $30 when i only paid $10. damn shiok. lol. bt anw i couldnt do anything now right when the value is alr added in. well well, JUST MY LUCK. haha (:
