Birthday! :P

Thanks to all who celebrated my birthday with me (be it via sms, gathering or etc)!!! Had a wonderful dinner with my sec. buddies and a fun time bowling with the PSP gang. Yeah!!! I was at my personal best with 103 points. Quite a feat I would say. My usual average was like 50 points?

Felt touched when I received some birthday sms-es from long-time-no-see or long-time-no-talk friends. Pretty unexpected actually. It was just like “Awwwwwwww.. I’m so touched” kind of feeling. OK. Lame. Hahha!

My colleagues ganged up on me on the actual day. A small bouquet of lily was sent to me by my so-called “secret-admirer”. And I was also tricked into the boardroom where they all jumped out from nowhere (well, 4 was behind the narrow door – one of them holding the cake, most hid underneath the table and another trying to hide behind the easel stand beside me) to surprise me. That was a good one. For I had literally jumped a good one or two feet away from where I was standing. Mind you, I was standing so close to the door when it happened.

I actually got suspicious when I received the flowers, but not the part where I was asked to go for a scheduled meeting. It turned out that the scheduled meeting was a scam, organized hours in advanced. Well, the agenda of the meeting was believable ‘cause it was something that we were supposed to have one of these days. So ya… as it goes… the rest’s history.


My close bunch of colleagues! This is not taken on my birthday though. :P



*P.S: I’m buying a digi camera from my bro soon. So I’ll be posting pictures in near future!!! :P

Red Alert

Feeling vexed. Facing some slight (at this point of time) health issues which I shall not elaborate until the results are out (in about 3 mths). It’s tiring. ‘Cause you won’t know when it comes and when it will go. Or if it will even stay.

Some say that the health supplements that I’ve been eating might have indirectly contribute to the current state. Guess I’ll just have to KIV for now on my intake and see how it goes. Trying to take my mind of this state of dilemma ‘cause there’s basically nothing that I can do (or others can do) until the results are out. So what am I to do? Trying to take my mind off some boggling stuff like work, relationships and etc. Looking forward to my Taiwan trip actually. Can’t wait for it to happen. At least that will take my mind off something for quite some time.

Boss’s wondering why I’ve been taking leave so frequently these days… Am I contemplating to leave? Not for now. At least. Not until I finish my Taiwan and BKK trips. Lasik may be put on hold for now ‘cause I’ve used up all my annual leave, and am actually taking unpaid leave for my upcoming trips. $$$ is important. But I need the break. To get away. To re-discover myself.

Guess what? I’ve been pondering over taking singing lessons for the longest time now. I’ve made a silent promise to myself (ok, it’s not so silent now since I’m listing it here) that I’ll sign up for fun when the results are out. Provided I’m declared a clean bill of health, that is.

Just some updates

Very sad. Haven't actually been out to see the fireworks at the Esplanade. It's been happening for days now. Hope I'll be able to get down to it tomorrow night.

Anyway, for those who didn't know, I'll be away from S'pore for a good 11 days to Taiwan from mid sept onwards. What for? Well.. I'm gonna semi-backpack and fufill my new year resolution. I can't really go on full backpack coz i do certainly mind staying in hostels or etc that requires sharing of bathroom and toilets. No way I'm gonna walk all the way down the hall in the middle of the night just to relieve myself.

As you can see, I'm pretty much a scardy cat. But I'll take on the task to carry my backpack aka haversack around the country. Planning to go to all parts of Taiwan (not just Taipei, but all the way to Kaoshiung, the other end of Taiwan as well). So these few weeks, I've been trying to do some research on my own so that I can have a fun time later.

As for my resolutions, travelling at least once a year (semi-backpack style) is one of it. Been to Bangkok plus some other nearby thai province late last year. Next stops include: Nepal, Tibet, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Switz (if my friends are still there and I can bunk in with them... hehehee.. save $), China & etc.

I'm also planning to do lasik surgery this year. Haven't gone for check-up yet, so I wouldn't know at this point of time whether I'm suitable for this surgery. Will also need to understand more abt this surgery coz even though it's not life threatening, there's still certain risks to it. Had been thinking about this a very long time already. But for the sake of pure vanity and convinience (can you imagine if I'm to be stuck in some ulu ulu land during one of the semi-backpack trips???? Instead of sight-seeing, I'll be "blind" seeing!!!!), I'm giving it a go.

Other plans this year??? Hoping to go BKK with my family. You know what? I've never been overseas with my family before in my entire lifetime (at least to date). Not even to M'sia. I think the furthest part we'd been in s'pore is the Zoo and that was like donkey years ago (before I enter primary 1?). So I'm seriously hoping that this wkend trip (planning oct) will happen :)

Time to bitch about some assholes...

It's so sad. I think almost every office has one.
Well, mine's a little special coz i don't speak to him and neither him to me (except once). But everytime he speaks, I'll be like "Can you pls shut up?"

I knew it from the very first time I saw him. He just has the very "qian bian look" and I can't help it. It's a good thing that we're seated far away from one another and he's from another team. Still, he just can't seem to stop himself from asking people to join him for drinks. Imagine this. You don't want it. He keeps pestering you. His kind of pester is those that will truly turn you off. Even when he's bugging other people, you just can't help but think to yourself "can't you see people really don't want to join your stupid drinking session????" Duh!

And when people say they're busy, still working. He's like "I also got work what. Just because you work on XXX account you very busy meh? I also busy but I can still afford the time what"

Basket. Feel like slapping him. Honestly, I truly doubt his capabilities (as I see him more like an alcoholic than a person of that seniority). Let me see... I'm thinking he's earning a good 2.5 to 3X more than me.

What an ass...
