I'm good. -Smile-

I suddenly feel really good.

Even though I'm still in the office at 7pm (trust me, this is early), I suddenly feel rather satisfied with myself.

I'm employed.

I've got a pretty nice job, enjoy what I am doing, got great colleagues whom I can really get along with, good bosses.

AND, I think I'm doing pretty well at work. As in, it's hectic crazy, but i've been lucky. How many people can go Australia twice when they are only 1 year plus into the job. Cool eh? All-expenses paid trip! woosh!

And I get to attend nice functions, go to events for free, get VIP seats, got to participate in NDP not once, but TWICE!!!

I've got a dog. A crazy, but loving dog. I've got scratch marks of love from him, but it's ok. haha...(i'll still want him to calm down a bit.)

I've got great friends. Some people I don't get to see in ages, but I know when we meet, we'll have just as much fun and we'll still go crazy! Some whom I get to meet more often because of the vices we engage in. Still good. still keeping me grounded.

Being doted on is also nice. Doesn't matter if it's guys or girls, for whichever or whatever reason. It's still nice. =)

I got to work over the weekends, but I'm not hating it.

I have close to 20 off-days to clear, and 23 days of leave.

I'm self-sufficient. In the last year, I bought an LV wallet, a Gucci handbag, a miu-miu bag, and I take cab to work everyday (and sometimes to everywhere else) and I don't sweat about it.

My mum doesn't bother me about settling down and getting married. -phew- she even fends these off. (the only thing is...i really can't afford to maintain a condo yet lah!)

I'm will go on a holiday. I can go on a holiday. Anywhere I want. Just haven't figured out where...and with whom yet. (any takers?)

I'm gonna sing for my friends' upcoming weddings, my sis' too. yay! more singing.

so yeah...i'm good.

and i want to share my joy with everyone!

sometimes, i wonder how everyone is doing...people from the past, people whom i haven't met in a long time, people whom i may never meet...i wonder if they have it as good as i do.

coz i GOT IT GOOOOOOD!

It's wet wet wet!

Hellooooo...

I decided to take a little break from all the work and dust off my blog a bit before I see cobwebs. As it is, I am seeing rust from the wet, humid tropical weather that is Singapore.

Yeah, it's wet. Super wet. It's so wet that visibility is low. I can hardly see much behind the curtain of rain. Man, is it pouring!

It's nice to be under the shelter of Coffee Bean while I type furiously away on my mini-note and attempt to look hardworking, when I'm actually typing my blog entry. So much for looking serious!

Oh, but I'm also waiting for Shirley to arrive. Meeting her finally after ages...AGES. Too bad Stef can't make it. I hope to catch her real soon. We haven't had a chance to talk for eons. I miss her. I miss both of them MUCH MUCH MUCH. (On the side note, I wish Shirley won't get too caught in the heavy rain. The poor bunny just got recovered from a bad cold. Ditto for stef.)

Grrreat...the drops of rain water is starting to splatter in. I'm not liking the rain much. =(

Well, besides never-ending work, I haven't had a chance to do much. Some functions here and there, some drinks here and there. What I'm looking forward to is Sept. Heading to bintan with KT, Yeok, TT and their partners. It's almost like the last "single" girls' trip. "Single" cause KT will be walking down the aisle come Oct 25, but then again, all of them are engaged (officially or unofficially).

So yes, it's good ol' single me left. I'm happy for all of them. Really. I admire that they have taken this huge step in their life. Me? I'm not quite ready yet. I think I've had my fair share of drama, and I'm beginning to settle down with myself. I'm enjoying the freedom singlehood gives me, amidst the attention I am allowed to get from the opposite sex. In a way, I'm not ready to be tied down yet, but kudos to those who are. I'm struggling with a dog already. I can't imagine anything further. hahaha...

Yes, so I'm gonna be the bridesmaid. Ever gonna be a bride? I'm not ruling it out, but neither am I counting on it to run my life. I don't want to become one of those people who wish to meet Mr Right. I'll take it as a bonus if Mr Right ever comes along. Until then, I'll have all my Misters and have fun with it.

Happy (Belated) Birthday Singapore!

Can't fault me for being late. I was busy preparing the "birthday party".

Anyway, it's been quite an experience. Burnt numerous weekends, firefighting with people, trying to stay alive and sane while running from place to place. It's a tough couple of months, but I'm glad it's all over...well, not ALL over.

Still have the "post-party clean-up". sigh.

But I'm glad to have been part of this whole set-up. It's not easy. So much effort, hardwork, sleepless nights, sweat and blood went into making it all happen. You really can't appreciate the amount of things until you've gone through. And then, you truly understand what it is that makes us do this.

LOVE and PRIDE.

love for your country. pride when you see that flag fly past as you sing the national anthem. that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you sing all the national day songs and recite the pledge. i still get that tingly feeling, even though we did this every week for a good 2 months! in fact, it just grows on you more and more each time.

am i patriotic? i would like to think i am.

i hope to be involved again next year. of course, it wouldn't be as part of the official set-up, but i'll be quite satisfied going down every saturday for 2 months to help out in any way i can. no need for day-offs and whatever. i just want to be part of it!

because, i am a proud Singapore citizen.

Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore!

May our Spirit shine!

when things change

i'll have my sundays freed up from now on, though that doesn't mean i'll be free every sunday.

things change.

things have changed.

it's beginning. work...is beginning to get slightly unbearable at times. sometimes, i really wish people would be more helpful, or not try to get away with stuff, and just be nicer.

not be some two-faced person. sometimes they are like the best of friends with you, and some other time they will shirk all responsibility or "become professional" all of a sudden.

i dunno about others, but i really try my best to accomodate everyone, or to make people's life easier, or to be helpful and work towards a single, same goal.

is it just me doing that???

of course i have nice, helpful colleagues.

but you know how 1 rotten apple spoils the basket.

apparently, there are a few rotten apples.

ARRRGHHHHH!!!!

the place feels disjointed at time. like there isn't camaraderie...even between people in the same department, same branch.

well, except for my branch la.

or maybe i'm just being biased. hehehehe

BUT!!! i'm still very angry lah!!! i'm angry at "giant" people. why so "giant"???

it's very streneous to have to plot and calculate and think of how to do things diplomatically.

I WANNA GO ON A LOOOOOONG BREAK!!!!

I HAVEN'T TAKEN A FARKING DAY OFF IN MONTHS!!!! MONTHS!!!!!!

THE LAST TIME I TOOK A DAY OFF WAS FOR MY SISTER'S ROM!?!?!!? it was wat? march???

FARKING TIRED LAH!!!

how come people get to take day offs, get to go home early and i don't.

and i have to deal with so much shit, and other people's shit, and chase people's backside, and have others make me feel like shit, as if i have nothing better to do, as if i haven't done ANYTHING.

appreciation is not over-rated.

appreciate me, please.
