Xperia

Add to Memories Share

In about less than an hour's time, i will be the owner of Sony Ericsson's Xperia Phone!




I know i have not updated for the longest time, because i seriously have not much idea on what to and what not to write.
Because i rather not get bombarded with questions from anyone.



Life's been pretty good, and it will only get better next week if Clare gets the job in my department. I'm going to pray very hard.

 

I'm enlisting on 6 october 2009. sian.

I'm going to be featured on Temasek Poly Business School's magazine, representing LRM!
Photoshoot next week at Asian Civilizations Museum. Hahaha. Yay!
I must start to practise my smile. HAHAHAHAHHAA


And,
I get bombarded with a lot of questions lately like, "am i attached? am i dating? am i . . . .?" from so many people.
Is it the love season or what?
And its so not cool.
I have no answer for any of such questions.
I look like i'm extremely hyper and crazy and nice, but there's a few parts of my life that i would prefer to keep it private.



And American Idol rocks because of Adam Lambert!

I must learn to hide my feelings

Add to Memories Share
I always think that i'm quite good at hiding my feelings, or at least try to behave normally in front of people i don't like.


Over the past one month, i have proven myself wrong time and time again.


I'm downright honest and true to my heart, because if i don't like you,
my eye contact with you will NEVER LAST for more than 2 seconds.
You talk to me, i will face the other side the entire time.
So 95% of the time you will only see a profile of my face,
and my attention will be on the passing crowd, cars, lamp posts, shops, birds or anything BUT THEM.


I have done it erm... three times this past one month.
And i think i'm absolutely rude, so i've decided never to talk to them again or meet them. Hahaha.
I have blocked/delete/whatever you can think of from all of my lists.
Because i made it too obvious to them that i just don't want to look at them at all
so what for continue contacting each other?


So if i look at you & pay attention to you when you talk to me, i probably don't hate you at all.
Maybe i don't disagree with some of your behaviour, but its more about the problems/disagreements, instead of you (the person).





Not in a good mood, because i made a mistake at work - which i personally think is an absolutely s.t.u.p.i.d mistake.
Incurred a couple hundred dollars of unnecessary costs for the dept.
Hate it when i make mistakes that cost money!

Britain Got Talent 2009 - Susan Boyle






This video is extremely touching & heartwarming, and I must say, i almost teared. Almost.
Saw this while i'm blog-hopping randomly.


She is 47, looks like William Hung quality, but she has the voice of an angel.

I think she is such an inspiration seriously. Hahaha.


"The biggest yes i have ever given anybody"

"You can go back to your village with your head held high, you have three yes-es!"



This video really teaches us not to judge a book by its cover,
and everybody deserves a chance to do what they believe they can do.
We should all be ashamed to judge anyone based on the physical appearance. (i'll work hard on this aspect hahahaha)

My Typical Week

Add to Memories Share

Here's how a typical week for me looks like:

Monday to Friday (if i have nothing on on Friday Night)
5.30am Wake up for work
8.30am to 6.00pm WORK
7.10pm Reach Home
7.15pm Jogging
7.45pm Dinner
8.00pm Bathe
10pm SLEEEEEEEEP. (V early hor? HAHA)



I'm quite impressed with my self-discipline actually, every weekday without fail i would go for a jog after work before dinner.
I just cannot TAHAN if my body looks like crap (not that its good)
BUT because i'm already skinny, and if i still have flabby parts i think it will really look like crap.
So at least i must be toned. HAHAHA. (like Clare! don't need muscles, just need to be toned. hahaha)
I don't want to have a negative body image Hahahah.



Actually this is just a boring random entry.
Just to show you guys i sleep at 10pm every weeknight,
so please don't ask me out to go out on a weeknight. (or plan your 21st birthday on a weeknight sth like that) HAHA.
I'm usually too tired to handle social activities.


ASK ME OUT ON WEEKENDS instead ~ hahahahha

While doing research for work purposes i found this in a forum. . . .

Add to Memories Share

MEMBER 1:

I have been married for abt 6years.. Me and my husband married when we were in our early 20s.. I had cheated on him after 3 yrs of married life coz he wasn't having a stable job and we had communication problems, (FOR THAT YOU CHEAT?! GOSH) at that point of time i was only 24yrs old still naive and we separated for almost half a year.. Half a year later, i realised i still love him and we relighted the sparks and he was nice enough to accept me back and everything was back to normal. Now after 1 1/2yrs of patching i m currently into my third trimester of my 2nd pregnancy and i found out he had a affair with a swinger for 2 months and he is a regular group swinger.. he said that he will stop contacting this woman and stop swinging.. wad shld i do? Please advise..




What others advise her to do:


#1:

I think it's depend on the purpose of your marriage.. Why you want to spend the rest of your life with him when you decided got married with him ? Marriage it's about commitment, to share your entire life with someone you loved and love you either.. I supposed, if you want to marry him, you accept him the way he used to, his bad habit, his bad character, etc.. Because the nice thing you had from him, it could be forgotten when he did something terrible to you. The only thing that I can say is check your heart, hope it help



#2:

Just gif each other a chance.. once more. love dun cum easy



#3:

give him another chance..but u still have to ensure tat after giving him another chance he really will not contact that woman anymore.
If he still does not change for the better, i would advise u to give him up if not u might suffer although i understand that it is hard to do so too..anyway just stay strong..i hope that ur family will not be splitted..






****

Seriously, give another chance?
I personally think that once a cheater, always a cheater. Hahaha.


But since both wife & husband cheated on each other, i guess, it doesnt really matter.



But i realized that
ITS NOT THE MEN WHO CHEAT ALL THE TIME.
WOMEN, in my humble opinion, are just great in destroying any evidence left behind.
While men, just leave a bunch of trails for ladies to work their private investigation magic on. Haha.


With everyone cheating here and there,
and i do hear a lot of stories of random couples cheating on each other,
married couples cheating on each other,
i'm increasingly skeptical about the true meaning of love.

My Movie Marathon This Weekend

Add to Memories Share

 

BRIDE WARS


 


GHOST



 



ROLE MODELS



 


MARLEY & ME


I wept tears while watching Marley & Me again.
I'm such a trainwreck. Hahahaha.



Anyways, movie marathon on Sunday in my bedroom is great.
BECAUSE i have gone out to play on four days this week.
Which also includes Clubbing twice.
Its realllllly tiring to go out all the time, and the expenses incurred is not a small amount.



I just want to take a goood gooood rest now.
I feeel totally out of energy, and totally sian that its Monday again.
Start of the new week, with probably quite a number of stuff to do.

I probably really don't suit office job because i feel claustrophobic, abit like a jailbird.
But then again, only office jobs have better career progressions, if not you have to be in a highly specialized industry like doctor or lawyers to command a certain bracket of income.

And i really hate staying in air-conditioned areas for a long period of time.
I prefer normal/fresh air.
Thats why i take every opportunity in office to send parcels, run errands for my colleagues etc (so that i can get out of my desk and run about).



From this week onwards, i'm going to start running every evening when i reach home after work.
(unless there's American Idol HAHAH).
so that i can sleeep better at night, and feel more rejuvenated for work.
If not, i feel so tired thinking that i have to work.

Everyone's sad that they can't find a job, and is tired of slacking at home.
While i'm sian that i have to work.
I used to be in that phase tooo. (sian about staying at home).
I'm always going through this phase of not appreciating what i have now, and hankering after other stuff.
SIAN.

Monday Blues

Add to Memories Share
I'm not someone who has Monday Blues.
I'm usually happy about Monday, because its the start of a new week.

(But i have Tuesday Blues Hahahaha. Thats when i start to realize i still have a long way to go before weekends)

But right now, i'm feeling ultimately sian because its Monday.
& i can't wait to dash home and continue sleeping.


 

What makes today extra sian is that good things are not heading my way this week.
Past 2 days, today, hopefully tomorrow lady luck will smile at me.
And the air-con is super strong, making me feel so dry. Hate air-cons actually.


RIGHT NOW.
I can't wait for tmr's NTU interview, because i'm off from work. (some shopping for grad night to be done too!)
I can't wait for grad night, because i have wed's PM leave and thurs's AM leave.
Before i even know it, the weekends are here to stay again!




Alright. Back to work. SIAN.




PS: I realized the beauty of post-its. Reminds me of urgent stuff i need to do. Yay!

Box me if i say i'm not sociable/unfriendly

Add to Memories Share

BECAUSE.

I realised i'm really a sociable and friendly person, as much as i hope i'm not.
But it just turns out that, i'm REALLY friendly. HAHA.



The most i can say is - i don't like creating conversations with random people out of nowhere.
And sometimes i don't even say hello or even look at you when you walk past me.
BUT, if you talk to me (nicely of course),
i will definitely be more than glad to engage in a random/serious/idiotic conversation with you.



Now that i've really started working, i'm really conscious about bringing my own personal emotions to work.
Because i think one has to be professional about it, and not roar at someone just because you are facing problems in your personal life.


I talk to canteen uncles/aunties, security guards, drivers, or basically anybody who talks to me.
I can even randomly go and introduce myself to newcomers. HAHAH.
 

HOWEVER, i have to bitch about this incident in the office.
I just can't imagine that there's people like that living in this world.
And i can't help but KEEEEEEP BITCHING about this to ANYONE i seeeeeee in the office.



The story goes like this:
I was looking for someone in another dept.
Don't know where she sits/looks like.
Asked a BITCH i saw seated in that area where is the lady i'm looking for seated at.

SHE FUCKINGLY GAVE ME THE IRRITATED LOOK.
ROLLED HER EYES.
JUST POINTED TO THE DIRECTION OF THE PERSON'S SEAT IN A RUDE MANNER.
AND JUST TURNED AWAY.


UGH. i heard from a colleague that she is VERY ANTI-SOCIAL, goes to work late, finish work early and leave.
I HOPE THE HR DEPT hears this, and sack you YOU mother fucking bitch.


My dept colleagues asked me to describe how she looks like, i said "ugly, plain ugly".
There you have it,
people with no professionalism, no respect for others and no manners will NEVER be beautiful.
(She's just dirt ugly seriously, and fucking auntie hair plus fat legs).






I actually think i have high EQ, because by usual standards, i would have blew my top and probably said some expletives. Haha.
NOW, i just bitch to my colleagues. (and here!) hahaha.
 




AND I'M REALLY A SOCIABLE AND FRIENDLY PERSON.  Just try talking to me first. I'm not a fan of taking initiative in non-work situations. Hahaha.

Academic Status: COMPLETED COURSE OF STUDY FOR THE DIPLOMA IN LEISURE & RESORT MANAGEMENT (SHIOK AH!)





**

The most difficult papers - Club & Spa.
Surprisingly, i did pretty well.
So it shows that you don't really need to know the exact exact points to the answers.


For Destination, it was totally my style of paper - reasoning with justification with examples. Haha. Totally my genre. So its within my expectations.



ANYWAYS. 
remember i said in one of my previous post regarding using arrows and mind-mapping for examination answers?
I used it ALOT for Destination & Club's papers. And see, i didnt do badly.
I also did some arrow here arrow there for SPA because i can't finish the paper.
Hahaha. SO, don't need to stick to essay style of examination answers,
what matters most is to get your point across to the examiners.


As for Cruise & Gaming, the project and papers were not done well (for mid-sems).
So this grade is considered reasonable to me.
Though i wished Gaming will be one notch higher.


FUCK YOU FACILITIES.
Who wants to learn about water systems, air cons, HVAC, swimming pools, light systems
when i enrolled in a tourism diploma.
Just proved that i'm really lousy in all these technical stuff. hahaha.

I really don't regret going back . . .

Add to Memories Share

. . . to my previous internship company to work as temp staff.


BECAUSE.

I'm in a different department now. Because my boss was tasked to take on a different portfolio.
So when she switched sides, naturally when i join, i follow her.
From a marketing intern, i'm now part of the MICE Sales team.
I'm now totally exposed to totally different things that i used to handle during internship,
and i think i'm seriously learning a lot from my colleagues & bosses.
Today R raised a question during meeting, & i got into a whole thinking process in my brain. So exciting.


BECAUSE.

I am not joining the company as like any usual temp staff for admin.
I'm seriously doing work, as though i'm in internship.
But this time round, there's no need to slowly build the trust and rapport because it's all there already.
And i'm asked to take part in meetings and discussions by boss, because she wants me to learn from these experiences. (just like internship).

AND my mom tells me that i MUST cherish this opportunity because my boss is giving me chances to learn and expose myself to the industry.
So i know, the best way to repay my boss is to work hard, work smart, and work fast.

I'm so motivated to learn under my boss (and colleagues) that i somehow wish my enlistment for NS will be in Sept, instead of the possible July.
So that i will get more time to learn more things from them.
MICE seems like a pretty interesting (but stressful) sector to me. Hahah.
I definitely think i will learn more now as compared to my internship period.



I shall post pictures of my seat soon.
BECAUSE, i have a goooooooood view~
I just turn 180 degrees and i get to see a beautiful island.

PLUS, i'm stocking up my tidbits/snacks cabinet already! HAHAHAHA.
