Life...

Dear diary,

Came to realise actually I had been pretty busy at work for the past two days... doing countless of quotation, surfing the net/ flipping those thick books to search for suppliers who sell items like torchlight? Dial the countless no. of phone calls till I lost track with whom I'm suspose to talk to. Blur me once again... However I enjoyed yesterday lunch , i had chicken soup with rice. It was yummy! I wanna try other soups that auntie is selling... today can?

Not sure if today is my last day or wait till my boss tell me... cos I do not know how to ask him about it. As in " Hmm, Mr xxx, is today my last day?" or should I phrase it, " when is my last day?" haha, no idea and i haven really got the intention to quit yet. Perhaps wait till next week ba, so that i have at least 2 more weeks to myself just before the horror begins all over again.

Been sleeping early these few nights like before 11.30... or latest 1am. Too tired... last night, xxx(u know who u r) and I bake chocolate cookies andmade some chocolate melt. We failed initally n i know why now hee. Later den tell u. But the rest of the baking was great! haha... though it's quite greasy. After which we met helen n zhi xiong in ikea when we were there to buy a glass jar. They came over to my house to look around n we sat by the pool side to chit chat till 10.45. Yupz, that's when my day came to an end too... sleepy.

People come and go in everyone life. For some, they leave you and come back in the years to come. But for some, they leave and never return... My maid who has been working for us for 4 years is leaving this morning at 10am. It's hard to describe my feelings when I was about to leave home to work.
All I ask was, " how long is your flight? will you be going to other countries?"
Then just as I was wearing my shoes while she help me to open the door, I told her " Bye bye, take care and be happy. " I regreted not saying thanks... cos i really really wanna thanks her for taking care of me all these years. Now u should be on the plane.. n hopefully you will be able to sense someone out there who thank you for all you have done for her.
N this morning was the last time i drank the milo and egg that she made for me. Hearing the same words everyday but it sounded and feel different to me today" Bye..." \

And tomorrow there will be another new person who will come into my life again... looking forward to meet her.

Bored!

Dear diary,

Met my girlfrens last friday ... Rowena and Cheryl. We went to town, ate Ding Tai Feng n took many photos in the washroom. Haha, girls as usual. Den we went to Cinleisure where i saw my ex-students, one of them who jus came back from USA. Nice to see you guys there :)

Soon Cheryl had to leave , she's gg clubbing n i went to join lyn n gang at bukit merah macdonald. Seat there n chit chat till dunno what time. But we went fang lay hse after tt. They played majong while I slp despite the 'pleasant sound'. U must be thinking, y i didn't go home and slp right? Hmm, i didn't felt like gg home and would like to spend time with my frens even if I'm slping or just sitting there. Times with people whom u treasure, even the most silence moments can be precious.

Hmm met up with vanessa on tues, had dinner at ikea. Haven seen her for a long time so there's pretty alot to catch up. But hopefully i will be able to see her more often when sch starts which we both aren't looking forward. Lol...

Another week is about to end soon.. Maybe gg to re-rebond my hair this sat. This entry is bored cos i'm really bored!!!

Phobia...

Dear diary,

Received a phone call... to arrange for an appointment to sgh. I thot it was over since the last time i went there for ECG and told I was officially discharge. A period of sleepless nights and nighmares I had, and now it's going back then again! The thought of seeing them just give me goosebumps and this cold feeling while waiting for my turn or even inside there. It has been like this ever since i was young.. the fear.

How much she wanna turn back time and not to stay there alone. As simple minded as she was back then, know nothing until it brought upon fear. Looking around for help but all she saw was white walls with these strangers whom were told as her saviours. A child struggling hard to break free. But to them, it's effortless to keep her still. Only to step out and carry that heavy heart with her all these years.

How much longer is it going to stay with her, just how much?

Fear of doctor adapted from website:
Often medical phobia is the result of traumatic experiences in childhood. I've spoken to many people with medical fears who had terrible experiences of being held down at the doctor or dentist to force treatment. The mind then attaches that level of fear to situations involving medical procedures. Fear of needles or blood being drawn are among the most common problems relating to medical phobia. Symptoms may include excessive sweating or clamminess, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, nausea and dizziness. Doctors can sometimes mistake these symptoms for other medical problems.

Should I or should I not?

2) Need to plan my timetable soon. But I'm considering whether to go for exchange in sememster 2, if so, den i will need to take up different subjects as my fellow schoolmates in group A accountacy. If i wanna go, where should i go? Who should I ask for more advice?

3) When will it be a good time for me to resign? Izzit nice of me to request if I can take so many days off for camp? Or would it be better for me to have at least my last 3 weeks of holiday to myself?


Decisions... something one can never escape.

HALL?

Dear diary,

Great... alison told me she received successful letter for hall application. On the other hand, I got the rejection letter today. Hmm, wasn't really upset perhaps I'm loving home right now so din really bother to think about hall. Called alison n she said she dunno how cos she will be roomieless. Cheer up gal, anyway.. you can choose not go stay there everyday right? Lol, thanks for your offer ah to rent mi the corner area!

Today was a busy day at work.. cos need to chase supplier for quotes and the delivery of goods. Busy till like 2+ den finally i started to feel sleepy and began to slack. Something funny happen at work. I went to the pantry to make milo n hc is there to make coffee. As usual, i always get cheated by people lor den he keep laughing at me. Cos there are three ways to dispense the hot water: 1) is to press the auto dispenser button 2) the normal kind, in the centre at the top ( jus need to push the big thing.) 3) a trigger where u just have to push ur cup upwards. I didn't know tt there is a trigger la. So i was amazed when i saw water coming out when he didn't push any of the button n jus nice his finger is on the plastic of the flask.

I ask him 'eh, how come got water come out? I thot u must press this ( pointing at the auto dispenser).

He said in a amazing tone, " no, u put ur finger here( the plastic of the flask) can already. It's auto one, u dunno meh? "

Curiously, " really? but tt time u told mi must press the auto dispenser. Hmm.. but gt water coming out leh."
So i tried.. nothing came out! I told him," eh, u see i tried le, but cannot leh. how come jus now u did it den it was alright?"

He took my cup n told mi to place my finger there n got water lor. " Why u hold the cup can, but just now i do cannot? Why?"

Then he started laughing uncontrollably. N he told me about the trigger... silly me! Gosh, felt so cheated lo and at the same time laughing over myself. Lol, i walk back to the office n told lynn. She laugh n ask if i get cheated easily? The answer is 'yes.. i always do. Right, lyn n ave?" As usual..

I dun wan school to start - i'll be all alone again without hall, without yanni ( cos she is gg to appeal to NUS), without nicole ( application for acc failed n gg to business)... left cheryl but it's gg to be tough cos we stay quite far n not even sure if can go same class next sem. I dread school without frens. I love pri, sec n even jc.. cos i get to see n have fun with all my good frens in sch. Seeing them everyday is such a wonderful pleasure , it's nv a chore.. But now, what can I say about school? IT'S BORING! Imagine getting to know a new bunch of frens again every sem.. nv knew who are the ones u can trust.

I dun wanna stop working right now.. i like the pple there n i hate UNIVERSITY. It sucks! Please get me out of the horrible place.

Last night tennis match was nice! Nadal won : 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Though i kinda wan federer to win but dad says cannot like tt, must let one be the king of clay n the other one rule the other court. I rmb in he 1st set - there's this super long game where they keep having deuce advantage. den deuce again. In the end nadal won. In fact both of them are equally gd jus tt federer can't run as fast as nadal i guess with the left n right balls. Can see that federer volley many times in the 2nd set. Nice!! Sign.. i think my tennis std will always remain the same now tt i have no more coaching cos i'm lazy or izzit no time? lol.

I'm going out for dinner with nicole, mak n zhi xiong.. yupz, it's been long since i met them. Hope it will not be awkard cos i scare we have nothing to say haha. Opps...

Sun Burnt!!

Dear Diary,

Woke up at 8.30 this morning and getting ready to go to the new NUS law school to play tenni with cheryl and her frens. It's been long since i play tennis outside. The weather was good.. SUNNY day, that's y i got my slight sun burnt which i like it with the pinkish/redness on my face - as though I have a natural blush haha. But it's nt that obvious.





Anyway, enjoyed today tennis which we played from 9.30 till 1+ and had lunch at Cornation. The western food there is cheap lol + free flow of drink. Next time can go there if wanna save money. Cheapskate right? but who cares when right now I left $40 in my bank account and it is gg to last me till I get my next pay which is like endof the month. DANG!!! $40 for 2 more weeks. Luckily i'm gg thailand which I had already set aside a small amount for my own shopping. gONna withdraw out and ask dad to change for me. On a typical sports day esp when I had it in the morning, the rest of the day it is a goner for me. Which means this ...


and even though i'm awake.. i still look like tt..
still sleepy!



Yesterday at work, i was slacking throughout the whole day tt i almost finish watching Seducing Mr Perfect. It's nice!! and after lunch i was really bored and thot of something to do... guess what?

Finally we got into the carpark... walked around den sat down in Gloria Cafe for coffee. Ate chocolate mud n bought home new york cheese cake. Yummy!
Saw this at vivo..

My Colorgenics - very true!

At this time you are really feeling quite exhausted by all the conflict and quarrelling that is going on about you and you are looking for some sort of protection from this state of affairs. Ideally you are seeking a peaceful condition and a tranquil environment in which you can be afforded the chance to relax and recover......

You dislike playing the field in every sense of the word. When you develop a relationship it needs to be a close fulfilling one, one that has deep meaning for all parties concerned.

The situation at this time is one of considerable distress. You feel trapped and you are looking for some way out. You can find solace in the arms of someone who cares so long as there is no long-term emotional involvement.

You are experiencing more than your fair share of stress following an acute disappointment. This may be the result of subconscious conflict between hope and necessity. The tension that you are experiencing following your unfulfilled hopes have given rise to anxious uncertainty. You have no doubt that things could get better in the future and so you refuse to make the necessary essential decisions. This conflict between hope and necessity is creating considerable pressure. Instead of resolving this by facing up to making the essential decisions, you are likely to vacillate and concern yourself with trivialities of little consequence.

You are moody and depressed at this time but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself... all is possible to him who believes.

Results are out

Dear diary,

Results are out... i'm really disappointed cos of the grades that I got. All B+, no As! Why? Why? Why? It's always like that.. everytime i score almost the same for all my subjects but why isn't there something special like an A- or A? Although my GPA did improve but it's still not what I wanted. Study hard is pointless! Working so hard for projects is also nothing! Exams is still my greatest fear...

Came to the office with a light feeling.. den jason was online gave me a sad face. Says results are out. My heart was beating hard and fast as though I'm sitting on a roller coaster getting ready to go down the slope. Den i told my colleage that results are coming out today and i'm scare. I asked her to help mi check... was hiding behind the computer like a timid mouse.

then I starting questioning her.. " Any B-? Any C+? " cos i was worrying for my electives.

then come the question - " Any A?" She looked at me... " no B-, C+ or A..." There i knew.. must be the same as last sem

"izzit all B+?" ...

"ya.." initally i was thinking quite expected.

Then i started thinking.. "no.." i wanted badly to do well for stat n acc. Why? I knew i was tearing..

Now, i'm blogging.. feeling numb. I need someone to company me, just a companion.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Dear diary

I went shopping today with my mum and spend more than $100. Lol... cos i got my pay for 2 days yesterday! And there goes my money haha. I like going with my mum cause she has great taste and the best thing is can take cab home cos she don't like to wait for bus neither does she likes the sun. Bought a Guess belt for 42.95, a dress for 35 and a pair of shoes for 23.90. So happy! It's hard to resist these... In fact I was pondering if I should really buy now as my family is probably going to Thailand this june but these few days the security there seems to be low and there are strikes. Hmm.. pray hard that all these will stop within these days den our flight n hotel will be confirmed. After coming home from shopping, I went back to my normal routine that is sleeping! Woo.. damn shiok to sleep for 4 hours after having a delicious dinner.


@delphin--> that's my life!

Nice song...

Who am I - Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Shopping on Vesak Day

Dear diary,

It's a public holiday yesterday... n guess what I woke up at 2.30 when early in the morning like 2plus am I was still asing rowena whether i should eat burger king or mac breakfast haha. Looks like i shouldn't have thot of it at all cos i can't even wake up man!

Been wanting to shop for a pair of shoes/slippers/heels .. something that I can wear to school, to work, to shop cos the pair of low heels is killing my right foot. I have big feet hurhur so that makes it quite difficult for me to find something I like and have my size :( Manage to have Lyn company to shop something comfortable and nice for my feet... Lyn says it's difficult to earn my money haha. Maybe can say so ba cos I would not buy something that I like instead i will only buy it if I really love it. So that explain my empty handed. But that didn't stop me from spending money, lol.. the moment I step out of home I will definitely spend money. this time round, is on food as requested by mummy.

On tuesday night, i went out with Melvin for dinner at Ding Tai Fung. Yummy! I love the xiao long bao and fried rice with egg. Though it is a simple dish but it's really nice! Also ate the yam paste xiao long bao hehe. Will love to go there again, anyone wants to join me? Haven been watching any movies since 200 pounds beauty .. everyone were having craze on catching Spiderman 3, Pirates.. , Shriek 3? But I doesn't seems to have it haha - i'ma weirdo huh. No idea why too.

Tml is back to work again .... wonder what will I be doing. Izzit more time to slack? Or doing something new? hmm.. I wanna make sure I learn the process of the documents and do it well. Yupz, maybe when Loke is more free, he can teach me. Not very nice to disturb him always but he has been nice. My boss , Mr Lew is also very good to me. Think of it, he's really afraid that I skip my lunch. I never see a boss who ask me to go to his office and says ," Adeline, there are two important things. 1st, remember to have your lunch den 2ndly, later when u r free, do the sales quote for xxx company." Lol, he's funny lo. In the 1st place, i am slacking and always free. and the part where eating is an important thing for me to do just makes me feel like laughing. Haha.. thanks Mr lew for your concern. This weekend I gonna make a trip to NTUC ba, den i can buy some snacks and keep it in the drawer.

On wednesday, I actaully spend 1hour plus searching for a wallpaper and yupz finally found a very cute winnie the pooh wallpaper. Guess I needa think of something to surf le tml just in case I'm slacking again! Can't imagine how am I going to spend my time when the new permanent girl come den she will do most of the stuffs leaving me with only answering the phone call and taking down of message as well as doing sales quotes perhaps.

Shall watch one more esp of corner with love before going to bed! tata..

@delphine , i finally found something i like but not love...
