Letter of Absence

Dear Peeps,

Sorry for the lost in updates lately. My life have went down in slumber with tight deadlines at work and in school.

Currently rushing my audit project which would be due this Saturday. I'm not even halfway through it. Lots of notes on my table, mixed up on facts. It's the first time i get so confused doing a project....Wazz more it's an individual thing. First time doing an arguement essay regarding audit....Oh gosh!...There's so much catching up with pals after this first deadline.

Lately, i was unable to do my own stuff....i need retail therapy soon!!




Love,
Anastasiazen

Short Break

Monnotonous life lately....been rushing and cracking my head over my audit project....

Took a short break from work on saturday night and walked to Mustafa for some shopping at around nearly 11pm....

the new (extended) area


Squeezing in the old area


OT for a while, was keeping myself awake one Monday evening and took a pic....


yar....that's my tax lecturer......i call her 'miss bullet train' coz she just speaks too fast....

Gotta run now.

Little Notes

Have a short drop by as I was busy for the whole week and im getting really tired by the day.....

Oh!....I've been swimming regularly lately and I've accomplished 17 laps today.....how abt that?.....

Am rushing for a project so it's juz work and no play.......

My eyes are half closed while typing this....i need more backing again...

Ta

Nothing

It's just a boring week for me....been broading over my audit deadline coming up very soon but im still checking out facts and researching not knowing what im doing is right.

Anyways, met up with my ex manager, Bruce, for dinner on thursday evening....greatly thought it would be relaxing catch up session....not knowing him talking the whole evening telling me about his work though....MLM (multi-level marketing)....i've seen enough of this kinda business and im not up for me.....he goes on to tell me about living healthy and what i should do about it....saying he's helping me and he don't go around telling everyone (meaning he help me by chosing me)....Oh whatever!...im not interested.....spent 2 full hours listening to him....was a total waste of my time.....after the meeting i hope i'll never get to bump into him as his office is just 5 floors above me....lucky i din tell him what's my coy's name....

Friday went for my morning swim again...this time i did 4 1/2 laps....another improvement for me....felt so fresh and great (humming *I feel good ne na ne na ne!!!*)....Oh yes, gabbie joined me and chris also.....and they did 30 laps....gosh~!..when will i ever reach that stage...hah...but im glad i remembered how to "breathe"...haha...

And it's a stay home weekend for me......im in the midst of brainstorming for stuff for my audit...just taking a break now.....

When im not in the state of mind, i can come up anything cranky....



Ermmm, i kinda like this one.

Juz too bored to work Now

My head keep knodding away till i can't take it already....and im so hungry now....waiting for lunch time is a killer!!....

The week didn't start of well for me....my manager is back from her holidays and her mood is down to the worst....my colleague and me are suffering.....im just ain't any mood for anything....

Something to look forward to this evening is that my ex-manager, Bruce, from Mothercare is giving me a treat at his cafe....which is only below my building....lots to catch up with him....

For now, something to share....i got this from Juliet's blog and thought it was interesting...

20 rules for the dating game,

10 rules for Him:

1) its not acceptable to go dutch on the first date, be a man and pay for the meal!

2) not enuff men todae stand up when their date approaches the table.

3) if you drive, always take her home, even if she lives on the other side of the island.

4) accept the fact that she will wanna know what you are thinking by the fourth date.

5) also, accept the fact that her parents will probably be asking you about marriage by the fifth date.

6) never make enemies with any of her galfriends. you are asking for trouble.

7) juz because she's talking to another guy at a party is no reason for your inner hulk to emerge. get over it. you are her boyfriend, not her cell-keeper.

8) as a man, you are not equipped to have any negative opinion about her dress, makeup, or hair. you love love love everything about her. especially even if you think its dog-ugly!

9) girls love flowers.

10) and a guy who says "you're so beautiful" in front of their other girlfriends.

10 rules for Her:

1) yes, you are dating, but he won't necessarily want to spend 24 hours a day with you. guys like to go out with other friends that won't always include you. let it be.

2) men don't like to talk. especially about their emotions. that's what your girlfriends are for. get over it.

3) just because he's speaking to another girl at a party is no reason to let your inner she-demon emerge. juz take a picture on your camera phone and use it as ammunition for your next fight.

4) if he dresses really well, knows about skin care, goes to the gym everyday, worries about jennifer aniston's emotional well-being, you are entitled to be a little suspicious.

5) if every other sentence he utters starts with "my mother" then consider some other boyfriends.

6) juz becoz he doesn't call u every 2 hours to say "i love you" is not a sign that he doesn't.

7) don't make him carry your handbag in public. handbags are for ladies.

8) its not acceptable to expect him to pay for everything. even if he wants to.

9) guys love to watch soccer

10) and a girlfriend who coos "you're my hero!" in front of their male friends.


Alrite for now, counting down to 3 more mins to lunch.

The pool at my office there....Suntec.....



A lot of people didn't know there's a pool at suntec....i gotta make full use of it since i got the access card already....

Anyone care for a swim?

A Whole New World

Realised been a week since i last blogged....been another hectic week for me......same at work and school....been trying to get started on my audit project but still didn't get any serious work done.....went for audit lesson yesterday and realised that the deadline is about less than a month away so i better get on my butt for some really serious business.....no more fooling around anymore....

But for yesterday went for dinner and movie with Gabbie after our classes....

Our Pepper Lunch at Takashimaya....
both are beef


Quite tasty i should say but i won't have this often.....heaty food....nah!!!

And after our movie, went to the HK cafe at cineleisure....

Jam and peanut butter toast


Caught CLICK yesterday...

though it's a comedy, it's a very heartwarming and meaningful show....and i've learnt something from it....that's is never to be so hectic with life that you forget people around you....especially family and friends.....it struck me suddenly....like it's telling me to wake up from my dreamland.....no more fooling around anymore!!.....get on my butt and do more useful and meaningful things.....and i remembered what i was working for......my goals and stuff....

i felt that i have long forgotten my goals and passion that i'm just living everyday without purpose, aimlessly......and i seriously have to get back on my feet and persue what im living for....I'm gonna change my lifestyle now for sure......

Cheer me on guys!
