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.

trying to focus in holland
it's a sat, but i don't have to work today.
or do i?
slept through the morning after a night of D & D (see previous post). my goal for today was to start on, and hopefully, complete a paper today.
let's see...it's 6.14pm already. i haven't written a thing. not good huh?
i've been distracted the whole day. first by TV (re-runs of Friends), and then i decided to come down to holland v so i can focus better. now i'm distracted by people, cute kids making funny noises, and someone's nokia phone that keeps beeping (you know, that nokia message tone).
and now, i'm hungry coz i smell food!
eeks!!! what's happening?!?!
i need to start something!!! i call this paper "the lord-of-the-rings paper", coz i'm the "one ring that binds them all". yeah right.
anyway, a bit more about yesterday. i hope i won't get a backlash for it. or any consequence for that matter. it was just a harmless invite. i think everybody ought to de-stress, and everybody ought to be given this chance to do so, regardless of who you are. there wasn't any motive or hint or message. it was just a chance to chill, away from the workplace.
so there, i said my peace.
i have a feeling i'm gonna be miss unpopular.
haiyah...fark it la. i should be used to being bitched about or whatever. me has clear conscience. me will continue being meself.
ok...i'm getting reeeeally hungry. =(
focus, nana, focus!!!

累到不行
i think whoever still bothers to read my blog is probably sick of me writing that i'm busy.
hell, even i am sick of saying it.
but i really dunno how else to describe this period of time.
it's bad. really bad. i feel soooo stretched...so stressed...so overworked.
i don't get enough rest. i work late everyday. i miss meals. i get worked up. i don't even have time to get a drink like i used to.
and i hate the phone and the computers/laptops.
how is it possible to be using 3 computers/laptops at a time?
or have all 3 phones ringing at the same time?
this is precisely the gigan-tuous amount of things i have to do. and as much as i wish someone could help me, there isn't really much anyone can do anymore (even though i have some ppl helping me).
i am soooo tired...sooo drained...and sooo....ARGH! and i can't blame anyone for it because...argh!!!
you know, i really...really can cry just thinking about it.
i don't even know what i am so upset about. except that i wish i could just not think, not do, not have ANYTHING for 1 day.
i don't even have time to buy body wash!!!!!!!!!! i eat instant noodles coz it's too late to buy food, or i'm too tired to shop for groceries nor cook...not even dabao home to eat. when i go meet friends for whatever, it has to be late, at least after 8pm...and i feel so tired and sleepy that i feel so bad that i can't even enjoy myself for that 1-2 hours. i haven't been able to do ANY of the things that i like to do...not even once so often. no drinking, no chilling out, no partying, no karaoke-ing, no singing, no life!
but you know what sucks the most?
i don't hate my job.
i'm just really really really tired today.
exhausted and frustrated that today, this week...has been worse than last few weeks combined...and tomorrow, next week, could be even worse...
and i can't comfort myself.
-struggling-

Happy Birthday Music Story, Shirley and Laoshi!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSIC STORY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAOSHI!!!
oh...and happy farthers' day to all daddies!! hehehe...
okie dokes, with the wishes out of the way, what i really wanna talk about was yesterday's anniversary/singout finals.
it's been a long journey, and in a way, i felt glad to be a little part of the journey (despite all the pek-chek-ness, near peng experience, etc...).
what i was really happy about was the progress of all the contestants. the show rocked last night! i wouldn't have believed it was real if i didn't see it for myself. really, really great job!
and of course all those who worked hard to make the event happen. it wasn't easy. it was never gonna be easy, but you guys pulled it off. i wished i had that extent of effort and help and manpower when i did the anniversary at the same place 2 years ago. haha...maybe it wouldn't have been so cocked up. good job guys and girls!
ok...1 event down...time to plan for the next event?
haha...just kidding (or maybe not?)...
for me, i still have many many things to do. going to melbourne on wed to fri on work trip, haven't packed yet. going on weekend getaway to bintan...also haven't packed. cham!
back to work!
