Bits N Pieces

Finally on thursday was the last day of my exams.....a load off my shoulder....but the exams was really tough.....i hope to make it through this time round.......

26 Oct Thurs - my paper was an afternoon paper so only get to have dinner with gabbie....went off to Wasabi Tei....was so happy that there wasn't any queue....was having a toothache so gabbie and me shared a Tempura Udon set and we order chawamushi and salom sashimi.....guess the auntie recognises us.....and after the meal she gave me a serving of the water melon though we only had 1 set order.....

27 Oct Fri - went to the dentist to check on my wisdom toothache which begin on tues...had a x-ray done and couldn't do an extraction coz the root of the tooth is too near a nerve and there's a rish involved...so gotta wait till the tooth grow out more.....went home rested and went with my mum to visit my grandaunt and went to chinatown to have a short shopping spree...

28 Oct Sat - Dad suggested dropping by the newly open Vivocity and off we went there for brunch.....we were there early so there wasn't much crowd....and by the time the crowd came in we were leaving the place.....it was really huge and it took us like 15 mins to find Toast Box to take a rest......the place was really spacious...will go back there to take a good look again.....one thing that is nice is there are playgrounds and water area for the kids.....scenery nice too....

29 Oct Sun - Marks the end of the leave and tomorrow back to work and war.....im prepared for it already......Im getting ready to put on the "mask" and fight my own battle...

No pics lately. I'm getting back my composure.



This pic was taken while i was taking a break from mugging one night last week. Suddenly feel that if you take time to quieten down and listen to the surrounding, you will find that the world you are living in is really good.

Take 5

Just dropping by as i take a break from my notes. Still have 4 more chapters to go before Thursday comes!......

My wisdom tooth on my right side is giving me problems again and at this exam timing....super bad timing. I went to the fridge to search for pain killers as i remembered getting pain killers from the dentist some time ago. When i found it, the sticker on the plastic wrote:" Date: 23/06/2005.".....I pondered a while thinking whether should i take it? Coz i scared to die. I gave it a miss yesterday but just now i couldn't bear it and took it. Now an hour later, the pain is not that bad already.

Note to Friends/Everyone:

I know you guys may think somehow or rather that i haven been looking for you or haven been asking about what's going on. Just wanna clarify that I'm also going through quite a rough patch now with serious work problems. Not that i wanna whine here or take it as an excuse. But it's the truth. Please try to be understandable. And most importantly, any hard feelings please tell me straight coz i don't like hearing through word of mouth, i have enough of back stabbing in the office. Therefore i won't want to experience the same scenario from people i care and love.

This may sound like a harsh message but i mean no harm. Just my true thoughts. My mood is experiencing extremes highs and lows recently and im trying to curb it.

3.00am sharp now! I need to rest now.

Down but Definitely not Out

Bonjour, Good Morning~! folks.....

Been studying till late this week therefore nothing much interesting to update here. My 1st paper is on 23 and last paper 26....im so waiting for that day man!....

Reflecting on my today's entry title.....i've just open yet another parcel of difficulties this week....as usual office stuff but im not gonna whine about it.....the more they gonna bother me, the more i won't let it affects me......im juz gonna be prepared for "war" when i get back.....who knows i get to have my long await rest before another job hunt begins. Im really glad that my parents are very supportive of me taking a break since working full time and studying part-time for quite a while.

Alrighty, i got a cute stuff to share....just the other evening while MSN-ing with Gabbie....we decided to use the drawing tab...and this is what i did....

I know my drawing sucks....but that was just the fun of it....Gabbie was like rushing me:"What are you drawing so long?!?!?".....eh but i did it my right hand ok when i'm a left hander...!...

Last night took a break and watched Maid in Manhattan starring J Lo on channel 5.....it was just classic....nice and heart warming show.....The story behind it also teaches that Do not let other people put you down unless you yourself want to put you down....simple logic and very true!....

After that got my butt back to my books and knock out at around 2am++.....

Yeap~!...till the next entry!

Ciao~~

Breathe In - Breathe Out

Had some solid pumping on my 2nd chapter of audit.......taking 5 now....and decide to make a quick blog entry.....

So here it goes.....

I promised some pics to be shown, taken on wendy's birthday dinner (in my sept entry, click link to view entry), where i ate like a glutton...



Raymond helping me and kim to 'crack' the crab so we can eat easier.....and mao trying to show that he can eat crab without using hands. And that dude actually did it. I don't know how he did it, oh man!.


And finally our group pics. (dun be mistooken, mao and kim is not an item. we just wanted even-ness. =D)

=======================================

Today, went back to office for lunch with my colleagues coz it's chris's birthday and she cooked her special devil curry and ice-cream cake, Oreo flavour.......though the curry was so so spicy for me but i still managed two serving....and the cake was so nice...i ta bao-ed home too....greedy me!

Yup, and that's it.

I'm still pondering if i should go to school to study tomorrow. Coz i get distracted easily. See what im doing now?

post Bank Rec Week

Today is the last day of work!(for now only) before i go on leave for my exams. Still left work late coz of the stupid bank rec again.....left with USD Nov and Dec but my manager said she'll do it for me.

Work's over for now but i can't take a breather just yet....need to keep up with revision.....i hope i won't fall asleep while studying....that is all i ask for.

Anyway for a recent update, I had a wonderful hawker food on friday evening and this afternoon.....but i forgot to take pictures of it......friday i was at the old kallang airport temp hawker centre....shared hokkien mee with gabbie and ordered the toa payoh rojak.....was heavenly man....
this afternoon gabbie brought me to marine parade hawker centre and we ate the beef noodles.....Wow!....superb man!....even till now i can't forget the taste.....i will be back for more so till then i'll remember to take a pic of it.

Recently did some retail therapy online:

1. Customised necklace with an oriental feel to it


2. Recevied an advance birthday gift from wendy, customised friendship bracelet, here's mine


3. My Style: Punk Berry Tee


4. Chocolate brown bikini

Can't get out to the shops that's why turn to online shopping, kinda fun though.

Caught a picture from a magazine lately.

The first thing that caught my attention was the ballerina on pointe shoes and i realised that she was actually balancing herself in that position with the stick using her forehead and another 2 sticks which hold her weight back.....suddenly i felt that no matter how hard life's journey we just got it balance it all up to the best we can......as there's many parcels throughout life's journey, open each parcel with passion and zest, overcome the hardship and move on to the next parcel that is awaiting you. (P.S: To ericia,if you're reading this, hope you are feeling better after reading this, don't let trials put you down.)

Weird that I'm saying all these?.....indirectly i should thank my manager for opening such a difficult parcel the past month......i've learnt lessons from there and i'm ready to open the next one!

Wish me luck for the coming exams, yea!

Wednesday again

It's another wednesday again......but im typing tirelessly now......I declare this week as BANK REC WEEK!!!.....been doing bank rec since monday and whole day at "kan cheong spider's" table.....how i dread it man!....so far only completed SGD for the whole of 2005 yesterday and today halfway through USD 2005......oh gosh how long more must i bear with this man!.....

Anyways, next week im on leave.....but.....not resting or going on a holiday....i gotta stay home to study.......coz exams round the corner and i mean really ROUND the CORNER.

As usual, updates will die down for some time.....after my papers perhaps.

Gotta run to bed now.

*awaits for another harsh day tml!*

Quick Bites

Running through a quick update here.....gotta get my butt on some s-e-r-i-o-u-s studying already...no more loafing around.

On friday was Mid-Autum Festival and i brought my parents to Asia Grand Hotel for dinner....it is near Newton....food was alrite but you gotta try their Tim Sum....it's really nice esp the tiny egg tarts.


1st row, 3rd pic: The captain slicing our Beijing duck.
2nd row, L to R: Beijing duck, Fresh prawns with egg yolk (delicious), Nanjing veggies with bacon & cheese (so-so only).
3rd row, L to R: balance of the duck fried with crispy noodles (ate one mouth only - now you know why i said the tim sum is better), Fresh fruits (on the house), Mooncake (on the house).

Overall dining experience: 3/5

Nonetheless, went home super full.

Yesterday, the haze was really bad.....took some pictures from my office.




Why don't declare holiday man?

Oh and caught You, Me & Dupree. Quite lame though but was alrite. I felt only worth the weekday price. But Owen Wilson is as funny as ever.

I give 3 out of 5 popcorns.

One Last Cry

I know i've been a weak-co these days.....and i'm trying to find back my strong and independent self.....no more self pity blah blah blah....

So let me just whine for the last time....for i have decided to stand up and be a strong gal i used to be again.....

I broke down at my desk after lunch today.....no one saw....but at that moment i just need to let it out.....as all the pressure is coming to me.....but now i shall shed no more tears.....i shall hold me voice box and stop complaining.....

Each time i'm stressed out i'll do some retail theraphy....

Bought 2 of the same top in different colours, you may think im crazy but i just can't decide which to choose....so grab both


Look so good on the model......hope it fits well on me....

For all my dear friends:

Thanks for all the encouragement that you all give me...and thanks for being there for me....I'll regain myself soon!

I'll leave my concentration on my studies now.....Exams end of this month....



I'll keep fighting!
