feels like i hvn been bloggin fer a longggg time aye. really couldnt find time to do so. anyways, here goes..


i missed night class last wed cuz i had to do OT! but it was way fine with me cuz im given time-off on thurs! which means i can give ma student a 3 hr revision tuition! alicia seems to enjoy it more cuz there were short breaks in between, and i realised that that works betta fer her.


really hope she'll do well this time round. her previous results were enough make me hang maself. but i really think kids are adorable.. they still find reasons to like you even when you're strict with them. (thats if you let them feel that they're loved and doted lah.) haha. during the first lesson i had with her afta i came back from ma trip, she hugged me and told me she missed me alot.


so sweet right. but i felt like dyin the next moment, she wanted me to be her "mummy", instead of sister.


oh yes, i manage to take a photo of alicia and her sista, audrey. =)


> a pair of pretty sistas with mesmerizin eyes!



> audrey the kissin monster. hahaha.



haa. lil audrey wants tuition, but she'd have to wait fer anotha 2 yrs. lol.


i met up with 2/5 wormies, shuyan and kris last friday fer steamboat session at bugis. one of another fun-filled outings. they never fail to amuse me with the lame jokes and happenings.. =)



> this is called "yuan-yang".



> great company like this. =)



> shuyan loves mee-swa..



> the nonsensical duo.



> kris and maself. i was coverin ma mouth cuz the "ma la" (spicy) soupbase was SUPER SPICYYYYYYYYY. *roars*



> WATERMELON SAVES THE DAYYYYY. =D see. i was practically tearing.. lol.



but you know through the 2 hrs we were enjoyin steamboatin, there was a very irritatin person sittin behind me.


WHY SO?! just see..



> the annoyed-but-kept-calm kazumi.


it was really like restin her arm there so conveniently lahh.. i din get to use the backrest most of the time.. there were times when i accidentally leaned back, but i had to recover quickly cuz she didnt move her heavy arm away! i wonder why there are such ppl ard..


ma stomach felt damn weird afta we ate. guess it was really way too spicy fer me. afta the first spoonful of soup i sipped, i started perspirin and felt as tho ma lips were swellin like mad lah! it was really that hot..


went walkin from bugis to PS.. took some photos on the way.









hahahaha. i find this photo so funny. (esp shuyan) XD


ma dear kumakuma has decided to form its own family. =)


> ahahha. SUPER CUTE RIGHT. the one with ribbon is from Chris! x)



> chris loves kuma tooooo! ^-^


sian lah. chris gg on leave soon. =(

//

its one of those times, yet again.


feelin super demoralised. dont wanna face ppl, dont wanna be out, dont wanna be home early, just dont feel right at all! must be the aftermath of the trip; feelin disoriented and all.. i wish i could help maself. in great need of a total workout to feel better.. but damn the haze lah.


so this is how easily i lose confidence. i really hate to understand maself sometimes.



but no worries, im fine. i just need to let it out..

// birthdayy!

// updates

wee. im enjoyin ma stay at malaysia so far. i guess most of you are thinkin like.. "wah you lucky thing, must be having fun!"


i wont deny that lah. im havin fun learnin.. thru corporate events like Microsoft Summit and sales retreat. its just so different to be in the corporate world! but somehow its like experincin subjects learnt comin to live. and.. i really pick up some impt P2P skills along the way.


basic respect is so impt, yet some ppl who are much senior than me cant even understand that. a people person with lousy personality. *rolls eyes* but besides that, i still love most of ma EBS colleagues. =)


right now.. im still at the office. lol. ma poor supervisor and manager are still busy with their slide preparation fer tmr's presentation. *gives morale support*



here are someeee photos taken during MS Summit, Malaysia! =)


>> serene, chris and maself togetha with co-workers from malaysia; jackson, esther, stanley!



>> teachers VS mafias.



>> our POS system.



>> lol. random..



>> yummy dinner treat afta a hard day's work! =) GOOD FOOD OKAY. *slurps



ahhh. stomachache. just had a crazy time laughin with serene and chris. thanks to mcdull. hahahaha.





lol. its 12.36am now. >.<

konnichiwa!


reportin safely from malaysia. NO INTERNET ACCESS IN HOTEL AHHHH. sadded.


the haze here is pretty bad. but i heard that PSI in sg went up to 160?? oh man. pls take care everyone..


God bless! =)

// anythin anyone?

HEYYYY CHUMS!


ma company's sendin me off to malaysia to assist in another round of Microsoft Solutions Summit Event @ KL! plus, they've included me to be in the upcomin sales retreat, togetha with the sales team!


WAHHAHAHA. its like a damn rare opportunity fer interns! cool bananas.


i'd be leavin this comin monday, and would only come back on a saturday. =) yes please do miss me. ANYHOW. its a 5hr coach ride, so i was wonderin if.................


ANY KIND SOUL OUT THERE would like to.. hmm.. lend me your mp3, magazines (tho i hv tons), write love letters to me to help me kill time? lol. love letters meanin casual letters lah, i do write them to ma girlfrens to make their day...


ANYTHING ANYONE?

// SMILE

from a frown to a smile. =)


the solution: be thankful fer all that you have. when you always give thanks fer what you have in life, you'll be a happier person, naturally. give thanks to God and you'll find joy in Him..


philosophy in life; to bear a christian mind.


ma day started off rather bad today. first comes unjust "warnings", then comes.. the ambiguity and doubt.


yes i wont deny that i was very much affected by you. i didnt want to condemn you before i get the chance to ask you abt it. but why? has makin empty promises been your forte all along? did i not know you well enough? everytime when i thought it was over, it wasnt. i dont know what you expect of me, and you made me clueless of what to expect of you. pls, just leave me alone if you werent meant to be. you're nobody to manipulate me. go away! get far away from me with your empty promises.


im so amazed at how God always send the right people at the right time whenever im down. indeed, everythin in His will. yup, thanks sharon.. thanks fer hearin me out. i felt so much better.. =)


sharon was tellin me not to think too much, but she clearly knew i would. just like her, i wished i wouldnt too. and i guess everythin changed fer the better when i sat on ma bed, and started lookin ard ma room.. it was filled with love.


friends expressed love through hugs and gifts. God expressed love through His unfailing word and abundant grace.


and you know what? i've both. =)



*SNAPSHOTS.

- ZINGO. 97.2FM event @ EXPO. well done ppl! *lovess. =)




> the 7000 seats.



> rehearsin in progress.



> endin pose.



> yay. we did it!


- ma belated dinner/celebration with WORMIES.


> very yummy. *slurps



> they gave me a card that looked like kris.



> wormies 5/5! =)



> their present fer me. =)



> against all odds. =) lets uphold our wormies pledge till grave.


actually we took many more photos than that. but i guess it'd be too borin fer you all, and too tirin fer me to edit. hahaha. weeeee. thank God the weather's finally much betta today! see. this was last sat, 7/10. tsk..


> like genting can.. =.=


tomorrow will be anotha long day. Lord, pls grant me strength and wisdom to pass ma everyday..


> from chris; adorable plasters in a case! ^^ thankyouuu! love it!


and this was what wormies got me!


> hahah. saw this at action city bfore. but didnt intend to buy it even tho i found it real cute lah. but owells. its fated to be mineeee. heh heh.

=)

// fool

fun-filled dinner and chillin session with wormies! *much loves =)


thanks fer that very cute present and the great company. yay! live healthy! 8 glasses of water everyday! hahha. and its been quite long ago since i last laughed so hard! those were our wonderful secondary school days.. i really missed the fun we had, but nope, definitely not the books. haa. =)


oh yess, sat's performance went on well. woo! =) thankful.. lotsa pics fer now. will update again.



i just want to know the real you.

// =)

huhuhu.


today's a great day @ work! =) it was a one-day Microsoft Summit event held at suntec convention centre! time passed fast man. love it. must be the people. =)


so thankful to be in the marketin dept. if not i wouldnt have experienced what i did today!


and man! christine is sucha bubbly and funny person to be with! shes one of those whom i hold high respect fer in the company, not bcuz shes serene's (ma supervisor) mentor/boss, but.. i just felt comfortable conversin with her. and i learnt alot from her today just by talkin to her. actually, i didnt thought that i'd grow to like her so much. cos she looked kinda intimidatin and stringent, well, in a way she is. but its only the times when she has to be serious. besides that, shes really nice! fun! has great sense of humor! super contagious laughter! i like! =)


she admires cute stuff too! ma kumakuma made her smileeeee like a child you know. lol. plus.. we share the same faith. =) cool huh.


and oh! i found a TP senior at EBS too! her name's cally. graduated from IT sch in 2001. hahaha. when i was told she was from TP, i felt soooo much closer to her lah! she was active in school back then too! =) oh yes, im so awed by female IT personnel recently; and shes one of them! cally's just 5 yrs older than me. andddddd, we share the same faith too! hehe. im so happy today. okay at least i know im soundin very happy now. =)


and yes im gonna start lovin ma stay here at EBS from today! its not that i've stop tryin.. but today's a breakthru. the bond is developin. =) what i learnt is that you can neva say you dont like/hate smthg when you haven got the chance to know it betta. or in ma context, its the ppl.


hehe. but seriously, CHRIS IS REAL ADORABLY FUNNY!!! ^^


telemarketin! calls to managin directors! managers! all big shots! im here to conquer you tomoro! =)



yea i meant.. fear! im here to conquer you!


i thought i had been positive enough by smilin more, doin things dilligently (when deepdown i know i dont really like it), tryin not to complain abt ma SIP (when i hear how much ppl disliked/loved theirs). but today, i realised that its called surpression. forcin yourself to like smthg that you're not ready to like.


weee. now i know whats positivity; it rawks to feel positive!


well that statement doesnt mean that i'd no longa face difficulties durin work. but at least, now i know im ready to turn to help, ready to ask questions, ready to get motivated by ppl, ready to learn much more! so in any occassion when i do still whine about work, remember that i do that to channel out frustrations k? like who doesnt, right? =)

//

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! =)


nothin special happened today.. but the wishes from ppl really warmed ma heart, somehow. and fer that, i'd like to thank everyone who took the effort to wish me a happy birthday thru smses, calls, testimonials, blogs, tags cuz you guys made ma day! *much loves*


i really appreciate you know. i even had a record; everythin that was said, and wished of. hehe. i did a log of it so whenever i read it, i'd feel as tho its ma bday everyday! =) oh btw, this is ma very kawaii organizer, imported from japan. cost me a bomb lah!


>> the smses! cool right? or you think im crazy? you're dumber than i thought if you think i am. hehe. the pages were this occupied at 2pm+. =)


ma bday dinner with mum and jensen @ fish&co! =)


>> ma nephew, jensen, whose birthday is comin soon too! =)



>> mummy. =)


why i din celebrate..

- SIP SIP SIP!
- FRIENDS ARE ALSO ON SIP!
- DONT LIKE INDIVIDUAL DATES.
- BUDDIES WHO HAVE THE AUDACITY TO FORGET MA BIRTHDAY.


wahahha. those who fell under the last catergory.. call yourself ma GOOD friend. im gonna stare and glare at you till you grow wobbly, and skin you all alive the next time i see you lor. wahahha. okay im just kiddin. =)


and dear chums who promised a belated dinner, dont make empty promises and make me glee fer nth OKAY. i want a make-up session, those double the fun and laughta kind hor.


still, i thank God fer all that happened today. the anticipation, the disappointment, the sweetness, the love felt, just everything. im thankful, really.


hmm. nobody at home remembered ma bday. yea. ma dad, his gf (whom i call auntie), ma bro and his gf (whom i call jiejie). but still, im thankful. cuz i know, the very predictable thing ma dad will do is, buy cake, cut cake. then "oh! finish! i did ma part by celebratin jasmine's birthday."


i know him too well, dont doubt. i really do. he's not ma father fer nth. or maybe thats why im not his daughter fer nth too. haha. =)



showers have passed, and a rainbow i saw! graceeeeeeeeeeeee. i love you. =)

// pics.

blues. yet its one of anotha amazin day.


neways, some photos taken yesterday! thankful fer havin such wonderful, God-given ppl ard me..



>> lol. the certified prawn-torturers! they always behave like kids when they get togetha. i just find that so sweet. =)



>> their organised way of cookin.



>> ma FULL OF FLIES bowl of soup. nutritous hor?



>> beloved sistas and spiritual mummy! =)



>> ma humourous bunch of brothers.



>> spiritual parents! =)



>> ma LAST teenage year. i dont wanna hit 20 leh. ):


theres a deep cut on ma last finger now.. *looks at plastered left pinky*


as usual, there was choir practice today. so bfore that, i went to the ladies before choir. when i pull the door open, there was a woman who wanted to step in also. of course, i let her in first lah.. but right. i din opened the door wider afta the woman went in. SOOOO..


the door slammed on ma back and i reacted by pushin the door with ma left hand. but i think the slammin force was quite great till i got quite a deep cut on ma finger. (think its some metal at the handle area..) i din realise until i was like 10m away.. felt somethin quite painful. then i lookedddd and saw a very bloody pinky. got a shock lah. blood just came flowin out profusely! the pain didnt quite matched up with the loss of blood.


lol. as in.. it was not as pain as it seemed. but now, it is. =( but i was thinkin, maybe i'd feel betta if the woman who stepped into the toilet smiled at me, tellin me she was appreciative that i opened the door fer her..


no lah. not that i opened the door wantin to seek fer her appreciation, but i just felt that that was basic courtesy fer me to let her come in first. aiya. acknowledge ppl's presence will die meh? smile smile wont harm too right? i think it can really make ppl's day loh. so ppl, smile more next time okay. =)


because kazumi love smiles; smilin and makin ppl ard her smile. =)



just like how much i want God to smile at me, at whatever things i do, at everythin that i want to offer to Him.
