Slave driver

I hop on the cab towards the west of Singapore - that's our auditors 'favourite' place - Tuas. Upon reaching my destination, i realised my wallet couldn't be found every corner of my bag. Shucks.. since i'm alone at the client's place, I had to borrow cash from the nicest client. Thankfully, I managed to pay my taxi fare.
Happily walked in, settle down as I have completed most of the tasks.
As usual, checked my email and i saw an email sending to me at 5am listing other outstanding matters and required work to be done by 10am when I reached office at 9.20am.
Who in the hell will read an email sent at 5am?
Well, work being work... you just gotta grab hold of yourself and pyscho yourself that these can be done. Zzz.
THIF, but i'm still at client's place at 9pm.

Life Lesson 1

If you feel that you are the most unhappy person in this world, you should look at the people around you.
Poverty may be the cause of everything but have you ever wonder what leads to poverty and what keeps these people from going.
I was watching this reality show - Life transformer. It taught me how to appreciate my life.
What is your life compare to someone who keeps her rice for more than a year.
What is your life compare to an 80 Year old granny who has to take care of her 2 children of which one has mental problem while the other has medical problem.
What is your life to a granny who has cancer but has no money to cure.
What is your life to someone who can't recall when was the last time she ate fish.
This is a lesson I ought to learn... and yes I shall learn to appreciate life and cut down my expenses. My expenses are not necessary.

I am going to sponsor a kid!

Work life sucks...
Coz Sunday becomes a working day too.
Time to get a Life!

My sunday brunch

Had a wonderful sunday brunch @ keppel bay.

Enjoy the breeze, scenary with my lovely ladies.

It's another annual meetup with Melissa who came back from Australia.

And just today... i realise I'm going 23 this year! Omg.

Haha as we were chit-chatting, melissa was saying that she is 23 and i started thinking since when was she a year older than me? Only then I realise i just had my 22nd birthday and i'm turning 23 soon.
Anyway, prive cafe is a good place for sunday brunchwith your loves one. They have good service and really filling brunch together with the scenary, I enjoyed myself. It's a good place to chill out. It's around $20/person. Will visit there another time at night, I think the view gonna be wonderful too.

Looking forward to rider's cafe on the 31st Jan just before melissa leave for australia.

Lots of love,

Typical day of an auditor

the job of an auditor
your alarm clock rings at 7am
get dressed up thinking that today will be a better day.
flag a cab and off you go to your client's place.
settle down with your laptop, greet good morning to everyone who arrive
and your day begins as you enter into the client's office
usually you will be smiling towards them and say things like ' Good morning, sorry to disturb you but can I ask a few questions?"
if you're lucky, the reply you will get " Morning, ya?" which is unlikely.
a typical reply is " I'm very busy now. Look for me at a later time."
No matter what the reply is, you still have to smile and say 'Ok" or be persistent " i promise i won't take too much of a time."
and when u walk into the auditor room, u probably start to think "why am i putting myself down into a position where I constantly need to ask favors from people?" and that's when it will lead you to thinking ' why am i in audit?"
your day ends at 7pm on a good day or after midnight on a busy day even if it's a friday.
aftter work, u realise that you are too tired to join the friends gathering or you totally missed it.
and when you get back home, everyone is sleeping soundly in bed...
the typical day as an auditor.

Batam

Spent my weekend with random people...
It was a drinking night where we play drinking games
What I love most is the spa and food.

Peak has started and I'm begin to ponder what I really want...
I don't feel right.

31 Dec 2009

This year has been a wonderful 2009 to begin with as I embarked on my r/s , studying and playing hard in my final school term and finally graduated with an honours. A memorable trip with sirus to Taiwan for our graduation as well as Thailand with raymond was great. And I can't rave enough how much I love the long break spending everyday with a smile. Last of all, I am now part of the working class greeted with an increase asset in my bank account monthly.

I will be working while counting down towards 1 jan 2010 at sentosa. It's gonna be a unique and memorable 31 Dec 2009 while I look forward to take a picture with my favorite animal. Can you guess it?

My resolution for the new year:
- to have a healthy lifestyle
- to cut down on my expenses on expensive dining
- to spend more time with my friends
- to travel a new country
- to love my job as an auditor ( though it's hard)

Wishing everyone a happy new year 2010 in advance! =)

Merry Christmas!

Yet another xmas to end our year of journey in 2009. Sirius gathered at my place on xmas day and we had gift exchange with our favourite HT-HT session + gossips.


Bought a new monopoly on boxing day which bring much joy to our boredom. Now, we have a new game to play during next year christmas with sirus. =) I love holidays to bits... looking forward to next week!

A month of surprise birthdays

My weekend seem so long with you around. I'm glad to have you back with me again.
Hope you like the surprise and gifts.
Your smile is a treasure.

My working days began

Yesterday was Rowena's birthday and we managed to successfully gave her a surprise! I went to pick her brother up so that Cheryl and I can hide in her house as no one was home. We bought her a super huge piglet ( her favorite) with a helium balloon on her bed. Just as she unlock the door, her brother started to play the birthday song on the piano and we brought out the cake. She was surprised to see us =)

Embark on my new career last week and my training will continue all the way till 30th Dec. Just when I thought it was great that my company is giving all employees free day off on 31Dec, I am booked for job from evening till night. This might mean that I probably welcome the new year with my client. =)

Tomorrow is my 1st day meeting my new colleages and will be having dinner at Sheraton Towers - international buffet as we celebrate Christmas. Sadly, I don't know anyone in my group so hopefully I won't feel awkard.

I'm looking forward to the weekend!!! Coz we are going to celebrate his birthday which is today but he's in reservist. =(

my afternoon scoops

i love holiday to bits. spending time with my 2 lovely neighbours and mickey in the afternoon spells relax and fun. they are 2 beautiful souls made from korea, japan and france! both of them are multiligual - french, german, mandarin, english, korean at the age of 3 and 7.

oh man, now i'm left with just 4 more days back to the corporate world. what's more, he's going to reservist for 2 weeks... i pray for happy days ahead!

My hectic week

Attended my cousin's wedding last saturday. It's an interesting wedding that I witness. They actually sat on a golf cart and came in on the second set. I love the bridal dress.

It had been a fun and busy week at Plaza Singapura - HBO Roadshow for Kong Fu Panda.

The kids were lovely. We had mask-making and face painting for a week. =)

This little panda is painted by me. haha... she is a cute =)

22 means...

Thank you for everything. =)
It's one of the best birthday I had in my life.

He brought me to M Hotel for brunch buffet. A fusion bufet. There is a wide variety of food and their service is good too. Definitely worth the cost as well with the fresh seafood and sashimi.

I love their desserts.

These specialities are served once you hear a bell ringing. We had the big dumpling soup, losbter and pepper crab in addition to the buffet.

My lovely friends gave me a surprise too! Tgt with my sisters, parents and raymond. No wonder, he was nice to company me for shopping at vivocity. When I enter my room, they started singing happy birthday. There were decorations in my room as well. Thanks everyone. =)

After the celebration, cheryl had 2 extra tickets for raymond and I. We caught 2012 and went for supper thereafter. Now I'm left with a full-filled stomach.

My lovely days are back!

Enjoying my 2nd day with a day out for classic manicure for only S$5. But the service is only average and the lady that served me accidentally cut my skin a little. Quite painful.
Then my sister and I went to pacific plaza for hair consultation. I wanna change of hair style... love the hair stylist suggestion. Though it's a little pricey, i would definitely go back to cut my hair before I start work.
And I signed up true yoga! Yupz I'm gonna attend yoga classes whenever I'm free. Time to start a healthy lifestyle.
Lastly, I found a part time job during this break. I love my short break coz I get to spend them wisely doing everything I love. Will be helping to teach the kids in art classes. I love them, they're super adorable. Too bad, I can't take photos of them due to the terms and conditions.

Yupz, to all who are working, jia you! I will be back on track with u guys very soon.

Time of my life

Yet another test I had to go through in life. Definitely something I can never escape in this life. The no. of years and counting on... I taste it all - the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy moments. Forget about the horrible people I met, forget about the ramblings in the environment where breathing had to be held on, forget about the stacks of files and paper piling up exponentially. Nevertheless, I'm grateful to have a handful of lovely people among the nasty ones.
To my freedom, this shall be my principal:
Enjoy every single moment with love and smiles, embrace the time of my life!


Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope I had the time of my life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope I had the time of my life.

Welcome to the real world.

I felt so silly, stupid and native to think that everyone is so nice in this world.

I just got cheated by someone whom I thought I should respect.

I just got cheated of close to $1k.

I was cheated because I thought I was doing a favour.

But the fact is nobody really cares about you!

They only just selfish human beings who ought to be get rid of.

I am going to eat mini cheeseburgers on Tuesday! haha... i just had this thought of ordering 50 mini cheeseburgers. lols... of coz that is for everyone. =) Shall see my mood on that day. Yea, I'm going to gain my freedom back for about 1 month. I'm so excited!

Life is gonna get better...

love,

adelphin

A hectic week I had been through.

Caught my sister's keeper last weekend.
It is defintitely one of the saddest show I have ever watched.
I promise to make a wish on my birthday every year; that is good health for everyone. Without a healthy body, you can lose almost anything. Also, remember that if anyone were to give you up, your family members will be the last to do so. So, everytime you feel that you're angry with someone in the house.. take a step back and calm down.

Recently, I read a news on a preganant lady who not only lose her twins but also her limbs. It's heartbreaking. Thankfully, she has a supportive husband.

Had our company welcome party at zouk on friday. A day where I saw the other side of my colleages. All of us had more than 10 glasses of alcohol. It was a crazy night!

Witness my first's wedding dinner among my friends. Jonyces, my secondary school classmate had her big day last night. It was a joyous and touching moment to see the videos. Wishing her happiness in her new life. =)

Have you ever thought of how your wedding will be like?

Sidetrack: Do you know what does E.R.P means?


Answer: Everyday Rob People. (This came from the taxi driver whom I had an interesting conversation with)

Patience

Patient is a virtue
Being patient is a skill.
Being patient is important.
Being patient makes you a diva.
Being patient earns you respect.
Being patient helps to gain karma.
Being patient keeps you optimistic.

I always thought that I have good patience until I met someone today. My utmost respect for him for I had never met anyone like him. If you can explain something sincerely 5 times without any tinge of irritation/frustration/anger to the same person, give yourself a pat on the shoulder- you did great. =)

Weekend is here once again!

After a day of hectic at work yesterday, I finally get to meet him for dinner at Raffles Place.

Sorry for letting you wait for me for hours. =X

I had strong cravings for chocolate last night... we were halfway back home but we decided to align at Mount Sultan Road. Had chocolate souffle at Laurent Bernard Chocolatier. Yummy!

Benefits of dark chocolate:

- it stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure
- it contains serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant
- it contains theobromine, caffeine and other substances which are stimulants

-it protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease.

-a small bar of dark chocolate everyday can reduce blood pressure in individuals with high blood pressure.

- Dark chocolate has also been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by up to 10 percent.

Conclusion: Dark chocolate can prevent you from aging.

Now, there's no reason why you shouldn't eat dark chocolate. =)
