Hope everyone had a good xmas. I dont think it's a special occasion meaning, it's not like CNY where my family celebrates..so xmas became more like a time for me to catch up with friends and SHOPPING. I think as i grow older..i like things more simple and quiet. The end of the year is always the most happening time of the year. I can remember rather vividly how the month of December was for the past 3 years. The end of the year is always more eventful. But perhaps, it's so that we can wrap things up with the closure of the year. For things of the past, let's cast them behind and walk on a new winding road. For the chancing along the road, lets embrace the opportunities with courage.
Lotsa stuff can happen can change in a year. I dont know what to expect in the coming year but let's hope for the best. :)
I came to realise my posts are weird. they are always half completed or left hanging somewhere. HAHAH

lately i've been soo soo emo.. must be the pace of life. i feel sian cos i have so many things to do so little time. wanted to keep xmas a little more simple..but was still cluttered with lotsa gatherings. not that i mind but i am a little tired. poei's back so that explains my low internet usage. haa..ok la..plus i m quite busy with i dunno what also..oh well..hope everyone had a good xmas:)

And i wish u all a Merry Little Christmas

once again haappy birthday to me*goes to look for surprise present*

on a random night..i feel like crap, i feel so so tired. i feel like going to a no man's island with my poohies and run away from everyone. i think work is tiring but i think dealing with people is even more tiring.
ugh
speaking of which, i forgot to bring my BB charger home. And i am going to be away from office till wed. WELL DONE. so that makes half of the above true. i will be virtually uncontactable.


그맙요, 그럼데거는나픈사람이에요.
정말미야네

Some time back

Mom's birthday a few weeks back :) All the poohies celebrated for her!

Her fave pooh--> Flower

Last week, went with the SIAO EH and HIAO EH go JB. Very fun!! yup we shd have more outings like that.

This week, went JB again! with mum n tuptup! i found a shop selling clothes i like in JB! YAY! haPPY day. why cant everyday be saturday???
Quote of the day
Tuptup: " i know it's not easy and u always want to break up with me, but just bear with it for two years"
Taptap: "Huh???? why 2 years"
Tuptup: " Cos after 2 years, we will get married. then dun need to break up liao"
Taptap:" *.*

Ok on marriage. Lotsa pple talking abt it. DO i think tuptup is the one? OF cos i wont say here la! DUH! HAHA ..Life's unpredictable one. And GUYS CANNOT be trusted. Look at our good friend Tiger Woods. Well, i was just thinking wat i would do if tuptup cheats on me. I think, i would gladly walk away and give him to the girl. . Ok this is purely a hypothetical situation here. Pls do not think too much into it.

Ok that aside..Aiyo, i want to go travelling again..next year..maybe Melbourne again and Hongkong ? I'll save Korea for eh honeymoon? and then there's europe. Hmm. I ADVISE ALL STUDENTS to go europe while still schooling ah. MORE TIME. u only have 15 pathetic days of leave after u start work.

On a random note, i love december:) going on a 1 week vacation soon so date me :P

HE is mr happy but not so happy after meeting me

I know where i want to go next already. Korea!!! i wish i can stay and work there for a couple of years man.

random rants

At work today, i watched as drama unfolds. And i truly understand how the phrase "making a mountain out of a molehill " came about.
We all know Singapore is essentially not so much of a self sustaining country. WE rely on imports and exports and hence the so called "foreign talents" influx for maintaning our GDP growth. No doubt there ARE foriegn talents i know of..I have had those crazily brilliant classmates from other countries. BUT how many of all the foreigners working here are TALENT? (Please read again if you think i am being obnoxious. I totally agree that there ARE talents. )
Sometimes, the cultural disparity is so obvious that no amount of cultural classes you go to can help u understand things. Cultural dissonance or assimilation for progress...i always ponder about this. Is there a KPI or measure for this?

SOME people put up intersting show instead of working. I always feel, when you do a piece of work, it should be for the good of the project or company rather that trying to make use of this piece of work for your own gain, e.g getting recognition and credit. LEt me tell you- If you have substance, if you are good, you do not need to wayang or put on a show. It all shows too easily. You can't have me fooled.

Of course, to maintain a harmonious working environment and PROMOTE cultural and racial harmony, i kept my mouth shut and tried to be diplomatic. But in my heart i was thinking " this aint a talent. this is a troublemaker. " They claim to be stressed and busy. i have no idea where this invisble workload came from. Thats why it's invisible. But really, i tell you why some people work late(I say some..gotta be careful with my words here) or can NEVER seem to finish their work. I tell u why- they are too busy putting on a show, too busy talking. too busy worrying about what the boss feels about them and creating rumors or criticising other. These time spent COULD have translate into quality pieces of work. Making a mountain out of a molehill. All shows need an audience. I shall sit back, relax and watch as they take the stage. But No sir, i aint gonna be fooled.
Sometimes, working with people is harder that the task itself. Well, let's embrace this cultural differences with an open heart. World Peace.

mooncake festival some time back. see. i am so random. we made hazel and nutt little lanterns. nutt's lantern burst into flame so he was very upset.
i have many many thoughts that i really want to pen down or rather rant about, you all know how nonsensical my thoughts are that it prolly amuses other, but i will still write it down when i find the time to do so.
i am busy or so i claimed. i found out why already. i am busy cos i spend most of my time doing nothing and so i do not have the time to do anything.
:/

Here we go again

Super lazy to blog!!
looking forward to BKK trip in 2 weeks time!! oh man!! & i have 14 days of leave left! i feel like gg to the States to visit NYC ( Sitting at Central Park eating bagels)and n Chicago to reminisce about times back then! Or maybe Niagara falls to watch the waterfall cascade and feel the numbness in the face as the cold wind gushes by. Or maybe California for some Dim sum and Sushi. OR maybe Florida for disney and the CRAZY rides at Universal and outlet shopping. Miss the cold cold days of travelling and of cos miss the COACH shopping. Next time i go USA, i'll buy the whole COACH down. I wil prolly need 1 mth. Oh man, those memories feel like just yesterday. Where has my youth gone to? Where are the fun and relaxing days ??? It would be nice to do all those crazy things once more. Boo wee.

by the way did i mention i love my blackberry? Now i can be on msn 24/7 (not that i am) , i can reply email instantly and surf the net on the bus and train to work!
some long long time ago pictures. Tuptup's cousin's wedding. thanks to my laziness, there is meagre amt of photos these days. all of u are spared the gross amount of pictures of myself n tuptup. :)
and did i mention lee min ho is DAMN cute. Oh man, i feel like a teengae girl all over again.

This is such a random post.
